Chief Justice Abbott It is probable that the Court may com ply with your request; but before this can be done. it is nrce,sary that you should inform us to what point you imam to call our attention. Mr. Hoblmuse.—l mean, in the first place, my Lord, to submit that there is en informality upon the very face of the warrant which must entirely vitiate it; authority. My second objection is, that the Ilmaseof Commons. by which I have been committed, is not a Court of Judicature. And thirdly, that. even renurning that it does poises the power of adjudication, still 1 contend, that a material error has been committed in condemning me unheard, thin depriving me df a right which belongs toevery Englislitnan. My fourth objection is, that, even allowing the amtnription of authority, the offence bur which I stand committed ought, right to have been noticed by an action of common law. After a short consultation with the other Judges. Chief Justice Abbott informed Mr. Hobhouse that it would be impossible for the Court to hear him upon any of the points which he mention. ed. Inasmuch as a Court of law had no cognizance or power over The proceedings of the House of Commons. This principle. he maintained, had always been allowed. and had from time to time been confirmed by different decisions: and by none more decidedly than in theme of Sir F. Burdett against the Sheriff for an illtsra i , I arrest, where a writ of error had been carried to tl:e house of Lords, and they had affirmed the judgment of the Court. The House of Commons had unquestionably a right to commit any person for a contempt of Privileges; and surely they were best qualified to judge what constituted a contempt. Mr. Justice BAYLEY concurred in opinion with his learned heathen Mr. Justice Hoe.aoYD eapreased his opinion to be in unison with those which had been just laid down. Mr. Justice Brag took a comprehensive view of the subject, in the course of which he observed. that he was now convinced that a writ of Habeas Corpus ought not to be granted at all. He perfectly agreed with the other Judges, in thinking this Court bad no cognizance over the House of Commons. Mr. HOl/1011SE.—Am I to understand that the Court will not hear me further P Chief Justice Aztoor.--Cartainly, Sir. LONGEVITY.-At Colney Hatch, a village by the side of Finchley Common, containing not a score houses, are now resident the under mentioned per sons :—Thomas Collins, Esq Magistrate at Marlbo rough-street, aged 84; Mrs. Collins, wife of the above, 87; Thomas Lennitte, Esq. 80; Thomas Atkinson, Esq. his uncle, 84. At this place, like wife, a few years ago, died, John Pasley, EN. aged 78 ; three years buck, died, J Matthews, labourer to Mr. Poudey, aged 86; last week, John Biggs, la bourer to Mr. Pasley, 10! ; three years ago, Richard Down, Esq. banker, 80 or 81 ; and about the same period, John Bacon, Esq. who was the same age as the King. With the foregoing, probably, might be mentioned, John Harding, who spent most of his' life at Colney Hatch, as a gardener, but now of Southgate, clerk of the chapel, aged 83. On Thursday night the inmates of Mr. Keeps (a chandler's shop at the corner of Lsseelles-court, and Broad-street, St. Giles's,) were alarmed with the smell of fire ; on going up stairs to ascertain the cause, they perceived it to proceed from a room, in which a poor infirm old woman resided by her self; they forced °put the door and found the, room full of smoke, and the occupant of the mint lying•on the floor in the centre of it, with all her clothes burn off, and herself nearly burnt to a cin der, and the floor considerably burnt. Her remain, were ecilectol together and removed to St. Giles's workhouse in a shell for the Coroner's Inquest. General Gourgaud, in consequence of his late violent conduct in challenging a citizen of Ham burgh, has been ordered to quit that place.

Extract of letters from Gsdit 6rhind, Holland, from January 27th to 29th " The scene of distress offered to our view is inex pressible, and draws symphathising tears even front the most miler:nig heart. Frotn the walls and steeple, of our cities and churches there is nothing %bible but a sea, partly covered with fields of ice, one of which, (at this munient,) of several I 'red :fetes, threatens the des truction of a whole village. All the villages inside of Inc dikes, is the lower Betuwe, are now under water. At the inomem of the breaking through of the dikes. between the Maese and Whaal, the water rushed in like a sea ; in a moment the inhabitants were obliged to retire to the upper part of their houses; but soon the water even reached that refuge, and they were forced to fiy on the rotas; but alas! this was no safety for many were warped away Irony thence to rise Ito Enure ; castles, churches, and houses, were, and are swept away by the united force of the ice and water. The inhabitants of the few houses which resist the force of the element are exposed to all the horrors of hunger did cold in this trying season. Every effort is made to save these wain -1 iunate creatures, or to afford them rebel, but human 1 efforts are in vain. Where the want and dauber is so general the means comparatively are few, u every thing is spoiled by the water. Our towns even are in some parts several feet under water, and often it is impossible to bake bread, The finest •fields and meadow, are covered in some parts with hills of soul. A great number of castle are already drowsed; and fur those that are saved no food is to be found. Several people, especially children, have found 'watery grave ; a number of houses are seen floating among the fields of ice, and in every quarter 'inevitable destruction seems to threaten us. This part of Guelderland (the Lower Betuwe) otherwise so beautiful a part of our country is one universal ruin. " From Pannenden, above Nymeguen, wear the Prussian territory, to the village of Kompin (within 6 miles S. E. of Rotterdam) the whole country bordering on and between the principal rivers of the Riga, Yssel, Masse, Whaal„, and Lek, is inundated. Night and day, the roaring of canuon, the alarm-bells, and signals of distress succeed each otis r ; and new ruptures of the dikes are at this moment announced. " It is impossible to form an idea of our sufferings, without !mute an eye-witness to thew. 'Die crops oti the ground are all spoiled, mid all the hopes of the farmers ale vanished. The distress of those that are saved is su great, and the calamity so general, that unless those who are spared by Providence front this dreadful scourge afford es aid, many must perish for want. Sub scriptions have been opened. the King made a grant tint of his private purse of 1,0001. to provide for the firsts wants, and has himself repaired to the spots where further dangers threateo. " P.S. No fears are entertained for Rotterdam, and the reports circulated respecting that city, in some papers, are unfounded." We *egret to hear that the Right Hon. Henry Grattan lies dangerously ill at Tinnahinch; and that Mrs. Grattan is also in a very bad state of health. On Sunday last Mr. Sieard. formerly a member of the Household of her Royal Highness the Prin cess of Wales, and since her departure to the Con tinent acting as her agent in London, arrived at Dover, where he embarked immediately for France. While at Dover, he stated himself to be the bearer of letters to the Queen ; that he was directed to proceed in the first instance to Leghorn ; and in the event of her Majesty not being there, to seek her until he found her residence, and accompany her Majesty to England with all possible speed. On Saturday evening last, finer keepers, belong ing to the Earl of Clarendon, of the Grove, Watford, Herts, went Is pursuit of poachers, and fulling in with ten, drafted like game-keepers, a scuffle ensued, and guns was's-discharged, by which one of the heiclers was severely hurt. the poachers have not yet been apprehended. .. , ;1 1 • 1. .., If .t r I.
