      In the House of Lords on Friday night , the royal assent was given by commission to several Bills , after which the House adjourned ' until ' Monday , the 4 th of June . In the House of Commons Lord Pai , mebston moved that a select committee be appointed to search the journals of both Houses of Parliament , in order to ascertain and report on the practice of each House , with regard to the several descriptions of Bills imposing of repealing taxes .

      Majesty ' s Goverrrment had anything o propose upon jec ; if not , by what right and for what purpose the issue of new writs to those places was delayed . Miv M . Milnes was of opinion ¦ that the suspension of these writs was demanded by public opinion ; that it was a , punishment in the right direction , the offence being of a public and political character . He thought , however , that the prosecution should not be pressed against the two candidates . Mr . Meliok and Mr . James urged reasons against the prosecution . The Attobney-Genebax observed that the reasons he JiacTheard were not adequate t < i discharge lrint from the obligation cast upon him ; but if any member would mows a resolution that the Attorney-General should not proceed with the prosecution , he would not oppose it ; unless the whole thing was a farce and mere hypocrisy , he was officially bound

      Islington Proprietary : School . —Within the last few weeks , three pupils from this school have gained open Scholarships at different Colleges in Oxford . The Postmaster has decided that the Soctety of Arts' Prize Writing-case , for which they awarded the prize of twenty guineas and their silver medal to Parkins and Gotto , can be sent through the post for 4 d ., so that this extremely useful and durable waterproof case , fitted with writing-paper , envelopes , blotting-book , metal pencase , with reserve of pens , & c , & c , can be sent free through the post to any part of the kingdom , on sending twenty-eight stamps to Parkins and Gotto , 24 and 25 , Oxford Street , London .

A saving of full 6 s . in the pound . Parkins and Gqtto , paper and envelope makers , 24 and 25 , Oxford Street . [ 4 dvt . ] Kew Gardens . —The tender of Messrs . Cubitt and Co ., of Pimlico , for the erection of the great conservatory and Winter Garden in the pleasure-grounds and arboretum adjoining the Botanic Gardens , at Kew , Commissioner of Office of

      has been accepted by the First Her Majesty's Works , and the work commenced . It will be a trifle short of 700 feet in length , covering somewhat about the same space as the Great Eastern steam-ship , and probably the grandest purely horticultural building in the world . It will occupy an extensive area on the right-hand side of the grand lawn avenue , leading from the Palm House to the Pagoda . The whole noble domain of 300 acres is now in all its floral beauty and splen * dour , and beautiful almost beyond description . The new lake of five acres , with beautifully-wooded islands , is situated midway between the Palm House and the Thames , on the left of the Zion vista . The Gardens open daily at one o ' clock ; on Sundays at two ; closing daily at sunset . All the Plant Houses and the Museums are strictly shut at six . Free

      admission for all . Royal Dispensary , for Diseases of the Ear . —The annual meeting of this Institution was held , last Wednesday , in the board-room of the dispensary , Dean-street , Sohotsquare ; Dr . Rowe was in the chair . The report stated the dispensary Was founded in 1816 , under the patrona g e of their late Majesties George IV . and William IV ., and of -Her Majesty the Queen , the PrinccConsort , the King of the Belgians , and many persons of rank . It was designed exclusively for the treatment and cure of an extensive class of diseases of the ear , and of a kindred nature . Duritig ^ fche past year , 1 . 391 patients had been admitted , of whom 386 had been discharged cured ; the remainder , under treatment , consisted of clerks in offices , governesses , needlewomen , domestic servants , artisans ,

      soldiers , sailors , and police . Upwards of 100 patients attended twice a week to receive advice from the medical officer . Although the funds have increased , they are not commensurate with the great increase of applicants , and the committee are obliged to make an appeal to the public for further aid . The chairman then said , it was unnecessary for him to speak at any length on the benefits which this noble institution had conferred on mankind . There were several cases where cures had been effected after tome yeais'deafness , and thus , by the aid of this dispensary , many people had been thoroughly restored to the full enjoyment of the sense of hearing . The report was adopted ; and so fter addresses from the Rev . W . Curalet , Mr . Trench , and Mr . Clark , the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to Mr , Harvey , the medical officer of the

      institution , and to the chairman . " Beware of Counterfeits" is a caution which , however old and unheeded , loses nothing of its necessity at the present day , when scarcely any article of domestic use , possessing more than common merit , is exempt from cheap and trashy imitations , the makers of which , by tempting shopkeepers with larger profits , induce them to palm off the spurious articles for the genuine . As an example of this we , may instance the following : Three ladies called lately at a respectable grocery establishment , and inquired at the proprietor his reason for not sending them

      the Gienfield Patent Starch as before ; upon which , he made some frivolous excuse ; but the ladies administered to him a severe rebuke , and requested him to send at once and remove the trashy imitation which he had sent them ; remarking , that if he had no Glenfield they would procure it elsewhere . This shopkeeper , no doubt , felt too keenly the humiliation of having such a well-merited rebuke openly administered to him in his own shop to-attempt a repetition of such deception , and it would be well if all shopkeepers who are guilty of similar practices would thereby take warning . When we hear of such practices we can more fully realize the importance of the advice , " When you ask for Glen field Patent Starcw , see that you get it . " R . Wotherspoon is on each packet .
