Tlie powerful and never- failing Stream of these Rivers might also be applied to various beneficial Purposes, bv the Erection ot Mills or Factories- of different Kinds. The Estate holds out flattering Prospects of Lead and Copper Ores, the Existence of which has been proved by partial Trials; and if they were to be vigorously pursued by an enterprizing Company, under the Super intendence of a skilful and experienced Agent, tliey would probably lead to the Discovery of most valuable Mines.. t*^" The Property lies in a Country remarkable for its Picturesqoe Scenory, possessing withal the Advantage of a Daily Post, all the requisite Facilities of Conveyance by Means of Coaches regularly passing to and from Aberystwith, Barmouth, and Shrewsbury.

Adding to all this, the prospect of two or three immense loans, and for • which new taxes must be raised to cover tbe interests, no person can be surprised lhat the French fund- holders have taken the alarm. We have just received the important information that a great part of Belgium is at this moment in a state of. insurrection A- i Antwerp the most dreadful commotions have taken plade, and when the last ac- counts came awav all was ciinfusion. Several houses were burnt or plundered by the mob, and fighting Mas going forward in the streets. The Belgian ge- neral issued a proclamation On Saturday, declaring the town in a state of siege, and ordering all the strangers nut regularly domiciled lo depart in four dajs. He says he will fire grape upon all assemblages <) f people who do riot instantly disperse. In no pari uf Belgium is properly or person safe for a moment. All parties, except the wretched Con- gress, look with impatience to an end of this dreadful state of affairs. iNCEvniAVtiSM.— On Wednesday evening last, about nine o'clock, a large stack of hay, belonging to Mr, John Bradbury, situate, in a field about half a mile from Ihe town of Whitchurch, in this county, was discovered lo be on fire, and, had it not been for the prompt assistance of the inhabitants of Whit- church, with tbe aid of two fire engines, it would have been totally consumed. There is not the least doubt but it was Ihe act of an incendiary, as. a man was seen to run from the stack with a lantern when the fire was first discovered. A tire, we regret to state, also took place on the premises of Mr. Huxley, of Tilstock, near Whit- church. on Monday night last. Between 9 and 10 o'clock, the outbuildings were observed lo be on fire in three places. The alarm being given, no less than live t ngines were shortly on llie spot; but such was Ube fury of the tire, that although the greatest exer lions were used by the neighbours in working the engines, Ihe whole of the outbuildings were consumed. The dwelling house took fire, but providentially its spread was prevented. We are sorry to add that six or more cows perished in t'- e flames.— As in the last case, there cannot be a doubt but it w-. s the work of incendiaries. , MINISTERIAL PLAN OF REFORM.

[ FROM FRASER'S MAGAZINE.] For some time it has been evident to every observer, that the mercantile and manufacturing interests have been obtaining an ascendancy over the landowners and the cultivators of the soil. Of late years, all the measures introduced into Parliament have been for the advantage of the former, to the disparagement > o! f Ithfc latter. While the land has been rapidly progressing towards a state of ruin, and the agricultural labourers, gradually becoming less respectable, have been more and more inadequately paid and employed, the principal object of the legislature has been to encourage spinning and weaving, aud to make this country a smoky, dingy, noisy, dirty workshop, for the people of Hamburg aud other foreign states. Ministers- seem to have had no other object than this in view, by tile advancement and the increase of manufactures. For this purpose wis Sir Henry Parnell's book written. For this purpose were pa setl all the acts of Canning, Huskisson, Peel, Powlet rhoinpson, and the political economists. The - folly and the- mischief of the system are now before our- eyes. The heart of the country is diseased-— agriculture languishes— the farm labourer is a pauper. . Hie mercantile and manufacturing interests, being thus paramount in Parliament, particularly in the House of Commons, we cannot see the wisdom of mak- ing them stronger, or of placing every other interest at their mercy. But this is decidedly done by the bill of Lord John Russell. If the trading party were powerful before, they are rendered omnipotent " by this measure. The landed interest, by this bill, will not be able to command, under any circumstances, more tlian'a third part of the representation. They will be beaten on all questions relative to agriculture, orsupposedto. be ag- gressive' upon manufacturers, by a majority of. two' to one. To prove this, let us look once inoreat th( f pro- visions of the bill. It will be admitted that the members to. be extinguished, are mostly taken fromljpraugtis in the hands of landowners, or persons connecfed with agriculture. It is a charge against the aristocracy that the small boroughs are for the most part their property. If this be the case, it must follow that the extinction of these boroughs, and the reduction of others, must affect their interest, and diminish their influence. Let us therefore see the extent and operation of this: Sixty boroughs extinguished takes from the aristocracy 115 Forty- six boroughs reduced one- half, takes from them 46 . . New members to Loudon girei against them 8 Ditto lo large towns, gives against them.'... 14' Ditto to smaller ditto * Sl' Sir Henry Parnell, Bart, has accepted the office of Secretary at War, vacant by Ihe secession of Mr. C. W. Wynn. A Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors was held in this town, on Monday last, before Mr. Commissioner Harris; when Sarah Phillips, Thomas Duckers, Thomas Chelmick, George Wall, Benjamin Gittins, John Davies, Richard Heydon, Charles Knowles, and Richard Richards, were heard upon their severa| petitions, and were directed to be discharged forthwith Shropshire Quarter Sessions. THE MIDDLE CLASSES. There has been much nonsense spouted lately, in nud cut of parliament, about what some persons are pleased lo term " llie middle classes" — meaning, thereby, as wc presume, just those particular indi- viduals with whom Ihe parties writing or speaking happen lo associate or lo be on lertns of acquaintance. Ilcuce wc have had so much stress laid upon Ihe superior intellect and liberality, aud all that, of per- sons renting £ 10 a year and upwards; and hence they arc to be the sole future nominators of the House of Commons. Now we are of opinion that respectable men are to be found iu every class of Bueiety, high and low, and that, whatever may ( on other grounds) be a man's station, by his con duet alone can his respectability be correctly ascertained.— The late election tor Liverpool will give as good a criterion for the formation of an opinion as to the peculiar claim set up for " the middle classes"— fur the renters of £ 10 and upwards— as can be well procured ; and we therefore ask attention to the following para- graphs, copied from the Liverpool Albion of Monday last " The burgesses of Liverpool are about to receive, nt the hands uf Parliament, Ihe punishment which the enormity of their venality so jn- stiy merits. At the time when the ever- memorable contest' between Messrs F. wart and Dcnison was raging, and when Ihe very first men. in the town, regardless of the con- sequences, were corrupting Ihe voters in the public streets, we denounced the vile, Ihe infamous system which bad been fostered and permitted to grow lip in this borough, arid invoked justice on the bends of the guilfy — Ihe rich men who bribed, as well as Ihe electors who i- cteivcd the wages of iniquity. We rejoice, therefore, to find, that the day of retri- bution has at length arrived, and that the burgesses of Liverpool, nearly 3,51.0 of whom, out of 4,401 who polled, hastily sold their votes, will, to a man, be stripped of the constitutional right which the majority of them have, on more than one occasion within our memory, most shamefully prostituted. Our only regret is, that llie innocent will sutler with the guilty." Mr. Benctt, who was chairman- of the committee ofthe House of Commons, seems, from the speech in which he prefaced his motion for suspending the issuing of the writ, to think, that Ihe corruption was confined to Ihe lowest class of voteis. All! little dues the lion, geutleman Jitv. iw Ihe burgesses of Liver- pool. Confined to tbe lowest class, Indeed! Why, We would uudertake to furnish him with the names of county magistrates, retired gentlemen, substantial tradesmen, flourishing shopkeepers, whose venality was greater than that of the lowest class of voters, and who, from the circumstance of their holding off from the poll till the very last, received some folly, scjne fifty, some sixty sovereigns fur their votes! Thi! injnies of such persons we could produce,— at lea**, w, c lulow the individuals ( hat could produce them; and t, he list would satisfy Mr. Beuett, that if Ihe lowest class of voters are corrupt, too many in tile middle, and some even in the higher, ranks of society are still mure corrupt." REPRESENTATION or CHESHIRE.— Mr. Egerfon, of Tatten Park, has signified his determination to w ithdraw, on the next dissolution of Parliament, from Ihe repres. ntation of this important - county. Mr. Wilbrrtham, of Delamcrc Lodge, has addressed the / reebolders op the probable vacancy. The G neral Quarter Sessions for this county com- menced on Monday last, before the Hon. Thomas Kenyon ( Chairman), Thos. Pemberton, Esq. Sir R. C. Hill, A. V. Corbel, Esq. J. A. LLOyd, Esq. T, Harries, Esq. J. Edwards, Esq. It Williams, Esq. Rev J. Rogers, Philip Charlton, Esq. Edward Cludde, E « q. Henry Mytton, Esq. Rev. William Hopkins, Rer. Watics Corbett, Thomas Bayley, Esq. W. Egerton Jeffreys, Esq. Charles Powell, Esq. Rev. C. Leicester, Rev. G. A. Madduck. The Grand Jury having been sworn, the Hon. THOMAS KENYON addressed thein as follows: — " Gentlemen of Ihe Grand Jury,— A very short time will, I flatter myself, enable you to get through your business at the present Sessions; but having now, for the first time, the honour of addressing my- self to a Grand Jury of this Counly, I cannot but lament fhe loss lhat County has experienced in the resignation of my learned predecessor. Gentlemen, it is neither my duty, and it is far from my disposi- tion, to flatter ; but, speaking of my learned friend, as a public man, I must tie allowed to say, that for Courtesy to those with whom lie came officially in contact, for very extensive legal knowledge, and, far above till, for the strictest integrity and purity of con- duct, he has left an example which all future Chair, mm will do well to follow. 1 have the satisfaction of knowing that 1 shall still have the advantage of bis advice and assistance upon all difficult questions." The Hon. Chairman had scarcely uttered the last word of Ihe above address when Mr. Pemberton entered the Court; on which Mr. Kenyon observed to the Jury, and to Mr. Pembcrton, that he felt much relieved by the consideration that, under the circum- stances, Mr. Pemberton had not been present, when, from an impression of duly, he had felt himself bound to express tbe sentiments that he had just addressed lo the Grand Jury. — He then dismissed the Grand Jury to their chamber, and directed that the bills to be preferred should be placed before them as soon as possible. In the appeal of the parish of St. Chad against the parish of St. Mary, Shrewsbury, the order was re- versed. I11 that of Dawley against Shiffnal, the order was confirmed. In that of the parish of St. Mary against the parish of St. Alkmond, Shrewsbury, the order was quashed. In Ihe appeals of Eaton Constantine against Wel- lington, ami Wroxeter against Wellington, the orderR were quashed, in consequence of the Magistrates who made them not having jurisdiction to authorise their making such orders [ These were appeals against orders for Ihe removal of two persons who had been confined in the gaol at Wellington under executions issuing out of the Hun- dred Court, anil Mr Whateley, for the appellants, stated that the removing magistrates had discovered lhat tlicy had 110 jurisdiction, as Ihe statute under which the orders were made applied only to debtors in custody fur mesne process, and notices of super- sedeas had been served, hut which were not sufficient in form; and after hearing Mr. Bather for Welling- ton, the Conrl quashed the orders without prejudice lo the question of settlement, and ordered the respond- ents to pay common costs ] In the appeals of Wem against Wenlock, and Llanymynech ( Shropshire pari) against Llanyblod- welt, the orders were quashed. In Ihe appeal of Roddington against Edgmond, the order was quashed. There were only four prisoners for trial, one of whom, William Halt, pleaded guilty to an indict- ment charging him with stealing u saw at Atcham, anil was sentenced to be imprisoned one month to bard labour. Charles Whtehouse, for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel out of the dwelling house, of Ann Haekwond, widow, with whom be lodged, at Hales Owen, was sentenced to be imprisoned six weeks to hard labour. Philip Varies, for stealing a prayer book and other articles out of tbe dwelling house of Ann Dainty, at the parish of VVrockwardine, was sentenced 10 be imprisoned 6 months to hard labour.—[ The house had evidently been broken open, and the prisoner was fortunate iu not having been indicted for a capital felony.] Sarah Allmarh was convicted of having concealed the birth of her new- born female bastard child ( which was found in a mixen), at the parish of Child's Ercall, 011 Ihe 12lh of Ma- ch last; and she was sentenced to be imprisoned two months. The counties of Aberdeen, Perth, Haddington, Mid- Lothian, and Berwick, have solemnly protested against tbe sweeping and destructive Reform mea- sure which has been meted forth to them by a liberal Ministry.— Glasgow Courier. We have what we deem authority for stating, that it has been intimated, from a certain quarter, to the independent electors of Windsor; that they should withhold their sentiments in favour of parliamentary reform. Twice have requisitions, by the most re spec- table inhabitants of the town, been attempted to be got up in favour of the Reform bill, and on both occasions has Iheir object been defeated by the in- fluence above alluded to.— Windsor Express. At a county meeting in Wiltshire, the presentation of Ihe petition of some assembled freeholders has been entrusied by acclamation to a notorious agitator, the representative of Ihe mob of the town of Preston, and one of Ihe county members has been diiected to second him—{ he county member to second Mr Hunt! w hile the other county member is desired to accept the Chiltern Hundreds and go about his business, being no fit man for the purposes of Mr. Hunt's friends. Such are the signs of the times, and yet the people who do these things prate of loyalty ! From such loyally may Heaven defend our Sovereign and bis dominions!— Morning Post. IN ALL.... These two hundred and eight members, consisting of those taken from the landowners, and those given to tlie manufacturers, show the extent of the change con- templated, and the effect likely to result from destroy- ing one interest, and increasing another. The only compensation which the landowners receive for this loss of influence, is the distribution of.- fifty- four mem- bers among, twenty- seven of the larger counties. But what are fifty- four to two hundred anil eight! The majority is overwhelming, and the landowners cannot have even a chance. ' I he House of Common? must in future become a sort of chamber of corotnercf^ ft kipd. of Leeds Cloth Hall, where the plouglri's nothing; and the loom is everything. :'; 3 This, in our opinion, is a serious objection. It is like placing the pyramid on its apex ; inverting every prin- ciple ofthe constitution ; making the tenant the land- lord, and the lord the vassal. 1 he consequence must be, that iii the next Parliament the corn- bill will be re- pealed, and with it will necessarily be repealed - every protective statute ill favour of manufactures and national industry. England, in spite of its heavy taxes, will be open to the competition of foreigners, and nine- tenths of our most ingenious artisans will be thrown idle, and left to rob or starve in the streets. , - Another objection to the bill in its present shape is, that while it increases Scotch and Irish influence- in the House of Commons, it reduces the number of English representatives. We are told that the measure is in- tended not only to place the constitution oil its original basis, but to meet the views and demands ofthe people. But what portion of tile people pray for a diminution of members? Where is there a single petition which To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, " Owing to a misreport of a few words of mine on the Reform Question in the House of Commons, it has been s ated that I expressed myself as if the Inhabitants of Shrewsbury were altogether in favour of the measure : whereas I said, " That having been to visit my consti- " tuents, the great majority appeared to me to support " the proposed Reform and that among the middle classes, with whom I had communicated in different " places the opinion expressed was almost unanimous." I will only add my hope, that whatever the decision may be, both parties will preserve that good humour which equally mitigates disappointment and graces success. I remain, Your obedient humble servant, ROBT.. A. SLANEY. APRIL 4,1831. LUDLOW REFORM DINNER.— When the news of the glorious majority of " ONE" on the second read ing of the Reform Bill arrived in Ludlow, it was immediately announced by handbills, that a sumptu- ous Reform Dinner would he served up on the 30th of March, at which all the good people of Ludlow friendly to reform were requested to attend.— Mrs Green, the worthy landlady of the Crown Inn, had orders lo prepare knives and forks for 150 reformers. Accordingly a superb entertainment, consisting of every delicacy, was provided, and a prodigious number, of waiters, knife cleaners, cork drawers, & c. & c. were engaged. The dinner hour arrived, and with it the worthy chairman; at length came couple or three more; and after considerable delay half a dozen more tardy reformers were mustered. The chairman now thought time had been given for the friends of Ihe cause to come up, and resolved to let the dinner grow 110 colder; so the snug little party, consisting altogether of thirteen, sat down to the dinner provided for 150. After the cloth was withdrawn, several toasts in praise of Reform were proposed hy the chairman, who took occasion to animadvert severely on the stupidity and supineness of the inhabitants of the town, in not stepping forward on so convenient an occasion to declare their senti menfs on the great question; and he furthermore said they did nut deserve to live in a land of liberty. After about half a dozen glasses had gone round in To THE TRUSTEES OF THE SALOP INFIRMARY. My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, riWING to the resignation of Dr. Darwin, a vacancy has occurred in the. office of Physician to your valuable Institution, I beg most respectfully to offer myself to your Notice. 1 am willing, my Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, to rest my claim to your Support on the strength of my Testimonials,--- Testimonials that have been awarded after a long Course of Study in the Schools of Edin- burgh, London, and Paris; to these I may also add the experience of a few Years spent in private Prac- tice—/ trust I may say successfid Practice— in the Town and Neighl/ ourhood where I note reside. I have only to add my anxious hope, that I ntay not. be considered wanting m respect i f I do not wait vpon any of the Trustees. My Professional Duties will, I trust, be considered a sufficient excuse for omitting what under olher circumstances would be a duty I should be happy to discharge. I remain, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your respectfid humble Servant, W. WOOD, M. D. Newport, 5th April, 1831. seeks a reduction of representatives ? Ave have thou- sands of petitions praying for a reduction of public offices, and of military establishments; but not one praying for an extinction of members of parliament. The ministers, with an infatuation which, we lament to say, has characterized all their measures since they came into office, refuse that which the people pray for, and grant that which they do not seek. Mr.' Hunt him- self never dreamt of lessening the numerical strength of the House:. At the wildest radical meeting ever congregated, who ever heard of such a proposition being even mooted? No reformer asked for it; none wished it; none expected it. It is altogether a visionary experiment, thrust in like a figure of speech to give novelty to a paradox. Before the union with Ireland the House of Commons consisted of as many English representatives as it does at present. Since that period, the country has con- siderably increased in wealth and po'pulation. There are more people, more interests to represent; and yet with these indubitable facts staring us in the face, our cabinet reformers propose to curtail the English force of its fair proportions, and at the same time give ad- ditional members to Scotland and Ireland. This is not reform, but revolution— this is not'renovation, buta suspension and destruction of all the vital functions of the constitution. If, in former times, 513 members were not deemed too many for England, surely 443 are too few when England is united to Scotland and Ireland. SIR WALTER SCOTT AN ANTI- REFORMER. A numerous meeting of the Freeholders, justices, and Commissioners of Supply of Roxburghshire, took place last week, when a petition against the Reform Bill was tdopted by 47 to 23.— The principal sneaker in favour of the petition was Sir Walter Scott, lie said his voice wa » nearly gone, and he was not otherwise well; but the present was so important an occasion, that, enter- tain ng the clear opinions that lie did upon the subject, if he were to lose his life in consequence of his appear- ance at the meeting, he would willingly yield his last breath in opposition to the measure before Parliament. ( Hisses.) He would tell those that were disposed to indulge in hissing, w hich they had no title to do at that meeting, that it did not affect him more than the hissing of a number of geese. He disliked the moment in which the measure was brought forward-— lie disliked the feel- ings that spurred 011 its supporters. They knew of the last revolution in France. Was it from France that Britain was to imitate a constitution, and to depart from its own, which hail given happiness and victory to the country, and had carried its glory to a height. a-. hich France had never been. able to attain ? In repairing an o! d edifice that had withstood the floods and the winds of ages, we should be cautious not to destroy its sym- metry ; we should " let well abide, well." The tree under which wc and our fathers had slumbered for ages we should not be rash in cutting down. He had heart much of the success of the Union. How long was it ill being successful? More than fifty years; men's hairs had turned grey before this success made its appearance ; anil they now had their hopes realized, Although ttie worst of miseries were brought into our country by an innovation so much to be deprecated, it would in the government of the world be brought round. The crop came in God Almighty's time ; but we should not be rash enough to sanction changes which were very likely to occasion evils of no ordinary kind, instead of continuing to livequietly and peacrably. as we have done hitherto. He was not opposed to all reform. We had occasion, no doubt, for reform, butrit ought to begin first in our own bosoms. What he was against was, proceeding incautiously. With regard to the Constitution of this country, tfie powers were so happily balanced, that it was very seldom they came into violent contact with each other. If they were to destroy any of those powers, they would destroy the balance of the constitution, by extending the power of the people, and deprive themselves of the means of mending it. He could only compare the present mea- sure to a watch placed in the hands of an unskilful person, who, by turning the regulator backwards and forwards, without a knowledge ofthe machinery, broke it in pieces; and now we had got a repeater in the hands of children, and God knows what was to become of it. He should take leave of them with the adage of the gladiators of old, " Morituri lesalutant if we passed this we should be undone. gloomy silence, it was unanimously resolved that no more dinners should be ordered in Ludlow during tiie discussion of the great question; and about half past six the chairman retired " brim- full of wrath and cabbage."—\_ From a Correspondent.] .—; PARISH OFFICERS.

DIVISION OF ESSEX.— Should a " Reform" Bill- like the one now in the Common-— ever pass irijto a kiw ( which Heaven forbid it sliould!) the consequence would be, that Essex, and other counties, would be divided into four parts, or minute shires, and the freeholder, 11s at present, would not be entitled fo vote for the four candidates in fhe mass, for the county at large, but must confine the exercise of his curtailed fran- chise to the particular division in which he happens to reside. Yet this miserable absurd plan is called a " Reform in the Representation!" How would this scheme in many instances o|> erate— especially in the Northern counties— where the direct iufluence of a candidate may extend over a quarter or even over half a county ? Why the voters of the county would become his " freehold," and sixty- four nevr rotten boroughs would be set up ten times more venal than even Ihe Borough of St. Ives.

In ihe House of Lnrds, Ihe Bill was for Hie fi st lime discussed incidentally on Tuesday night ( see 4ili page); on which occasion I. ord W HAR.\ CI. IFFB said, that when lie looked al Ihe composition of the present Ministry, and at the bench opposite, lie saw il was in a great pari composed of meii Willi whom lie had ac- ied for a coiisiilerahle portion of his political lile. He was surprised therefore lo find those prisons bring- ing down a bill, llie obji- cl of which was lo overthrow the Constitution. From ibe declaration of Ihe Noble I. ord on accepting office, be expected a yrenl deal — be looked for n great deal lo be done. He knew lliiit no paltry measure would do; but when be uus in- formed of llie pai liculais of ibe plan lo be brought forward be was thunderstruck. He would no! go so far as to say lhat Ibe measure brought forward was revolutionary, as it seemril ibnt lliere was a grenl ob- jection lotliai word It was, however, a quiet chunge; but ibe change would not be the less couip'ete because ii might be effected quietly. It mis a isdii al change, because it did go lo tear up by Hie tools one great influence iu the other house of parliament If the measure were carried into effect ibe House of Com- mons would lie an entirely popular elective asSfuiblv, without nay check. Thai, to bis judgment, would be a change dangerous to the monarchy.. Il would no! only be a dangerous change, but one l| ial was totally unnecessary It tun quite essential that there sltonlil be an effective measure of reform, but not such an one us bud been introduced. One of the greale merits of the House of Commons, as m present constituted, was lhat it represented various classes and descriptions of persons. For some boiougtis ibe qualification was high, iu others very low ; in a third description the franchise was confined lo freemen, and so on. Thus eiery particular class was, iu some degree, repie. seined. Bul under the proposed measure, Ibe as. liranjs for seats iu ibe other bouse uf parliament must leeiime demagogues, aud such a vircuui. lance must be most dangerous to the Mule He bad seen he greatest men of ibe ' lime silling for close boroughs; aud lie begged lo look to the opposite bench mid ibe woolsack. There wus scarcely n noble lord on ihe uisterial bench who bad nut sat for a borough. He thought, therefore, that Minister, were ungrateful lo the unfortunate boroughs in a very grenl degree. If boroughs were disfranchised, every young- mini must become a demagogue, lo endeavour lo gam Ibe voice of the people, if lie nieulit lo get into parliament ; aud be asked their Lordships whether such a system could prevail without great inconvenience anil danger? The measure was a mere delusion. The landed interest would not be strengthened by it, nor would the expences of elections be iiiaierinily diminished. And if be found fault wilh Ibe measure, be bad still greater fault lo find with the manner in which it bad heeu brought forward. The King's name bad been used ; nud an alleui|> t was made to fix upon the King personal advocacy or the plan; nt the same lime also, or shortly nfu- r, a threat was held out ofa disso- lution of parliament. This was not the manner in which a measure requiring so much deliberation aud consideration should have been brought forward. The Noble l- ord then continued— Il was hy far ihe greatest change made iu the constitution since 1R88 ; and ill relation to the greut chunge it was calculnled to effect, he must call it a frightful measure. It was much more tluiti was expected by any reformer. The day tiller il bud heen inlrodiiced, every man who spoke of il, whether be were Whig, Tory, or Radical, lifted up Ins bauds with astonishment and surprise. If Ihe Noble Earl bad consulted ihe li- eliugs litui opinions of ihe people— he meant people of a certain class— be would have foil iid that though theic was JI yrcut disposition for reform, and tor reform lo a considerable extent, yet very few wislud for a sueep- L;- measure, which would go to overturn ihe instiln- lions of the country. He thought il SM\ s a rash and wanton measure, for it proceeded upon, the principle of disfranchisement — a principle which a majority of the Mouse of Commons had now affirmed. The Houses of Parliament could not take their final stand upon the measure; there would, always he some interest which was unrepresented, aud there would always be that struggle to obtain it w hich had already" occurred. They would very shortly have all the questions which « ere now agitated, and which Ihey hoped to settle by ihe introduction of the measure, brought forward again in some way or other, to lie resettled. Those who were now engaged, and had ever been eng- aged, in attacking- ihe institutions of the country, would contend for — he. would not say a republican form of government, hut they would certainly aim tit making the monarchy of this country jointly a republic. With re » pi et to the manner in which the proposed changes must woi k upon that house, he would ask how could it he possible for their lordships to oppose any measure that was sent up to them by a popular House of Com- mons ? Would they dare to send back any hill which might be. sent lo them? They would he bold men if they acted in such a manner; but lie would forewarn their lordships, lhat such a lime would come, aud it might he their duty, in direct opposition to a popular House of Commons, to refuse their sanction to some future meastue which should be placed before them They might wish to defend the crown, as indeed it wa> their first duty to do, hut the time he feared would come when that house would be made a tool of by the people against the crown. What, in such a ense, would be the situation of that house? And what indeed was its present situation ? The parliament, it was supposed, was to be dissolved ; and should that prove the case, what would be the description of persons returned lo the next parliament? Would they not form a conventional parliament? There would he delegates sent up, who would have" to vole for tiie fteiorm Bill, aud to liced nothing else; and, iu that case, he must assert that the House of Lords would be placed in a most dangerous situation. The uext House of Commons would consist of delegates who would so press the measure, and who would send il forward in such a shape as to prevent all delibera- tion in that house upon it. The best consideration he was able to give Ihe mea- suie l « d hiui to consider it of so . fatal a nature, lhat it would utterly prevent ihe due action of the different parts of the constitution by which the'State had so long been supported, and under which it had so long flourished, lie considered that it would lead to some" thiug uot far abort of a republican form of govern nient ; aud having lived so long and so happily under a monarchy, to which he could not but say he would prove loyal to the last, he should, unless he were driven by. stem necessity to act in a different manner, feel it to he his duty to oppose the bill al present under the consideration of ihe olher house of legislature. Both Houses of Parliament adjourned on Wednes- day night until Tuesday, the 12th of April. Previous to the adjournment of the latter House, it was resolved that an immediate grant of £ 50,000 should be made to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to be expended in public works for the purpose of employing the dis- tressed poor of that country ; anil that Exchequer hills to the amount of £ 50tVKI0 should be hereafter issued as a permanent fund, to be advanced by way of loan, for the same object, under the super, intendence of Commissioners to be appointed by government. We are enabled to slate, on most respectable authority, that great quantities uf wools of middling and low qualities have been contracted for in a growing stale, in Austria, at a considerable atlvance on last year's prices — Leeds Intelligencer. Papers and letters from Brussels of the 30th ult state that that capital has again been the scene of riots, p. llage, and devastation. During Saturday Sunday, and Monday, fhe place was in an uproar, but at the departure of the latest accounts tranquillity was in some degree restored Much of this favour, able result is said to be owing to the personal firmness of the Regent, as the origin of the commotion is, without doubt, ascribable to the indecision and weak- ness of his government. The prime movers, it is stated, were the partisans of the Prince of Orange. This party, which has been silently and gradually increasing for some months past, was already in con siilerable force and confidence at Antwerp, Ghent, and some other places, but it was n.. t until very recently that it ventured to rear its head in Brussels. Tlie arrival of the Prince in the Netherlands, how- ever, re assured bis partisans, and the strength of the cause was put lo issue in Brussels, upon the days above- mentioned In spite of the interference of the Regent, and of the civic power, the private houses of several persons supposed to be adherents of the Prince of Orange, were attacked, and tlu- ir contents destroyed.

[ FROM THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLE.] The evil effects of the Peer Bill ha\ e been apparent to the Public for several months - past, antl at length have excited the attention of Parliament. We observe that petitions have been presented against the measure, alleging a great increase of immorality among, the lower orders, and ascribing the evil to the Beer Bill, by which drinking houses have be'eri multiplied beyond precedent throughout tiie conntry. That sincere, and steady friend to the poor, Dr. Law, the Bisuop of Bath aud Wells, has adverted to the'subject in tlie Hortse of Lords, and declared that in Irs opinion, from what ho knew of the workings of it, this measure is the most disgraceful upon t- ie statute- book. Lord Brougham has also borne testimony against the operations of tho Bill ( see 4th page), and. suggested the necessity, if the evils complained of should Continue to flow froih i* . of bringing the Act under the notice of Parliament with a view to its amendment. • . ; - Those who have watched the results of the Beer Bill must be convinced of its demoralizing consequences. In this populous district they are most distressingly felt by every man who values the'advancement of public moral's a: id delights in the happiness of his fellow- creatures. ' Ihe advantages anticipated by the advocates of the Bill have never been realized: it was argued that ( lie working classes would be supplied at a cheap rate with a good arid wholesome beveiage, and that the, measure would be the means of. restoring to the labouring classes those habits of order arid sobriety which, by the introduction of other Ihtoxicatii g li- quors, hail heen nearly eradicated. Instead, however, of producing any such benefits, it is notorious lhat tho Bill has added to the noxious kinds of beer which had previously deluged the country, and that drunkenness has been fearfully increased. Every part of- this dis- trict is thickly studded with beer shops: in some town- ships there are a dozen or twenty, where there used to be only three or four public- houses; and in various directions leading from tlie town, from twenty to thirty of these new drinking houses are opened within a dis- » tance of from seven to ten miles. ' I hus the facilities to immorality and dissipation are increased five- fold, as beer- shops are opened at the poor man's door. The temptations of the pitblic- hoiise were formerly slight and remote, compared with what they are at present; beer was expensive; the desiie to obtain it not so strong; ale- houses were situated at a distance from each other; and the odium attached to the frequenters of such resorts had its effect by deterring men from unnecessarily wasting their time and property. Bill all these salutary checks have been destroyed by the Beer Bill. The compound of unwholesome beer— a fact of daily and general complaint--- has had no small share in adding to the number of spirit- shops which disfigure and threaten with destruction the entire race of hardy,- healthy British peasants and labourers; the disgrace of drunkenness operates no longer as a restraint upon the lower classes; the common indulgence in that vice, which is encouraged by throwing open so many beer- shops, deadens shame, and fixes habits of profligacy and iniquity, which must sooner or later sap the foun- dations of a State whose safeguards have been the morality and intrepid spirit of its people. There are other evils connected with this measure equally pernicious in their tendency. The peaceful town or village is converted into an unvarying scene of drunkenness. Quiet and orderly families, whose resi- dences are unfortunately placed within the verge of beer- shops, are doomed to witness most revolting scenes; the rising generation is exposed to the baneful influence of brutal and disgusting drunkenness; and British females, of whose prudence and modesty this country has had just right to boast, are placed in danger by these pestilential haunts. Again, we have to witness the striking and melancholy change which is made in the habits of those persons who have been deluded by the love of ease and gain to embark in the retail beer trade: their honest, industrious pursuits as mechanics and handicraftmen are abandoned, and their dwellings, in many instances, are converted into the abodes of revelry and blackguardism. 1 he interest of the publican, whose property had been embarked under the former state of the laws, has also been injured, aud the legitimate design of the public- house in many cases sadly deteriorated by the necessity im- posed tipon landlords to vie with the new class of beer- sellers. Altogether the measure is radically bad, pos- sessing no redeeming feature. An alteration is abso- lutely necessary for the preservation of public morals, to say nothing ofthe health ofthe people. B; er ought not to be consumed on the premises; nut what tn our opinion would most effectually serve the working- classes would be the removal of the. Malt Tax: the poor man might then enjoy the luxury of wholesome beer made at nis own house, and be relieved from the temptation or necessity of passsing his days or nights at the ale- house bench to the injury of his credit and the impoverishment of his family. WARWICK ASSIZES.— Previously to the discharge of the Grand Jury, they laid the following resolution before the. Learned Judges; and the Lord Chief Baron expressed his readiness to communicate it fo Viscount Melbourne, Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment:--" The Grand Jury of the county of Warwick are desirous, before they separate, to record their deli- berate conviction that the clauses in the late Act of Parliament, which permit Beer to be consumed on the premises where sold, have been attended with nlost pernicious consequences, in the increase of drunken- ness, the encouragement of gaming and debauchery, and the consequent rapid demoralization of the popula- tion both of the agricultural and manufacturing dis- tricts of the county. Deeply impressed with the ruinous effects which must ensue from a perseverance in the present system, the Grand Jury beg to lay this unanimous expression of their sentiments ( the result of experience) before the Judges of Assize, humbly re- questing tneir Lordships to communicate it in such a manner to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment, as they in their discretion may think most calcu- lated to give it weight with his Majesty's government.

O ENGLAND! thou source of my joy and my sorrow, My country, my home, and die boast of my heart, From whose dea r remembrance such treasures 1 borrow, ' At whose varied trials with terror I start. Uow oft have Itraccd thee from youth's. cheerful season, How oft have 1 marked thee in danger's array, When war's blackest league, or the horrors of treason, In gloom spreading roimd have endangered thy day. 0 how has each pulse in thy glory exulted, ' Midst thy Nelson's, or'Duncan's, or Wellington's fame ; Whence to civilized Europe protection resulted, And anarchy's demons have fled in their shame. Tel now I behold thee betrayed ard forsaken, Of counsel bereft, and deserted by those. Whom once thy bright splendour to fame could awaken, And rouse to thy succour ' midst numberless foes. Alas! through thy realms a false me'. eor is gleaming, Thy Statesmen are dazzled and lured by its light; Like Ihe fool rushing on, of security dreaming, . Who heeds not the quag- mire that whelms him ill night. How soon, when despoiled of thy proud Constitution, Which has buoyed thee aloft o'er the storm and tlie wave, Thou'lt sink in the billows of wild revolution, A piey to the Iraitor, the scorn of the knave. Tlieir shoals and their quicksands are closing around tl. ee, * And ' neaih the smooth surface that speaks of Reform, to 1 discord, and bloodshed, and plunder spread round thee. And where is the Pilot to weather the storm? Lift, lift then thine eyes to Ihe truth of the vision. While hope of escape yet remains thee from fate; May History's page too point out that derision, Which waits on repentance, on wisdom too late. Whate'er be thy sores, let the hand of discretion Explore the foul taint till detecting the vice ; Or ah! ' neath the scalp knife of ruffian oppression, Thine honours are shorn— thy existence the price 1 HOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAV. l. ord Wharncliffe, in rising to move for some returns relating to the population, spoke nt great length against the proposed plan of Reform, as brought forward by Ministers.— The Lord Chancellor, F. ail Grey, lord Durham, the Duke of Richmond, mid Lord Plunkett supported the measure; which was further strenuously opposed by the Marquis of Londonderry and the Duke of Wellington — Ixiril Ridmonth condemned Ihe discussion as irregular, the Bill not being yet before the House. t ord Kldon also Considered it to be extremely irregular to discuss a measure in which their lordships were not yet involved, and which, from tbe bottom of his soul, he believed to be of a nature more revolutionary than any thing that bad ever yet been brought forward in this country. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. An incidental discussion arose out of the presenta- tion of some Reform Petitions; and Sir James Gra- ham Willi some other of the Ministers were rather an; ry at Sir Richard Vyvvan, who asserted, and proved his assertion, that Lord Alfhorp, now so dis- tinguished for patriotic sympathies with fhe alleged political necessities of the people, voted last session egainst any inquiry as to the means of relieving their actual distress. HOUSE OF tORDS— WEDNESDAY. Ixird Duncan seized tbe occasion of presenting a petition from Dundee, to eulogise ( be Reform Bill, lie was replied lo by Lord Farnham, who said, that the first effect of the reform measure in Ireland wonld lie to give to Ihe agilators Ibe nomination of forty or fifty representatives; the next, to overthrow the established ch urch ; the third, to unite all parties in nn irresistible effort for the repeal of the Union; the ln* t, the establishment of popish asccndancy. THE HE FORM 13 ILL. fcFROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.] We do most sincerely trust that no clamour with- out, nor intimidation nor abuse within, the House, may hare the effect of giving any successful conn, tenance to a measure of a tendency so revolution- ary, that, were it to pass into a law, we cannot see how sober- thinking men could have confidence in the stability of any institution in this country. We think it ptrfeetly obvious that such a revolution in the mode of electing; the House of Commons would jiive a preponderance to the dcmocrutical part of onr constitution, which would soon be fatal to the fxMence of the other parts, and therefore destruc- tive to the well being of the democracy itself. If v* e could believe that the middle class ( as that is the favourite phrase) were capable of more happily governing themselves, if all authority were taken sway from those above and those below thrrn, we might look upon such a measure as this wilh some hope, hut . we think no such tiling;; and whatever rt'sprel we may have lor the sound sense of this Has*,. displayed in the mnnagetneut of their own wtlairs, we firmly believe that, in matters of govern- ment, a mixture of other influence with theirs is necessary not only for the good of the nation at Were, but even for their own peculiar good. We have locked, but looked in vain, for any argument establishing a link of connexion between the Reform so much clamoured for, aud an abolition © f the causes- which distress the people, cheek their industry, and thwart their efforts to be prosperous nnd h.' i'py. This should be looked to first, and were mis attended to, we should then be by means adverse to such a cautious and gradual amendment <> f our representative system, as would jjive to property and intelligence a more equal and generally diffused influence; but to be useful at nil— nay, not to be destructive— it should be sober | y, cautiously, and gradually done. The present measure is altogether rank with the odour of revo- lution— it stinks in the nostrils of men who love peace, and prosperity, and security, and can only f nd partisans among those whom party fury blinds lo the dictates of common sense, or who yield to base fear, instead of looking steadily at a slight d inger, which would vanish away as soon as it was boldly examined. This we say with regard to Ihe nation at large; as to the party which has intro- duced it to Parliament, they appear to have adopted it as a desperate expedient, for bearing down the opposition which their pievious ill success had made so strong. Through fear o! not continuing to govern they have risked a measure, of which the bare promulgation directly tends to make the coun- try ungovernable. would be a great difficulty in any man finding his way into the House except as a popular candidate, iu other words, a candidate pledged to do whatever the mob commanded. The interests - of the com- mercial bodies would find an extreme difficulty of representation; and the interests of the colonies scarcely a chance of being represented at all. So far as abuses exist in the representation, they are rapidly purifying. The press, an engine more powerful than the prerogative, exercises a formidable supervision over parliament, and no abuse tan now be of long continuance. Thus par- liament is actually proceeding in the safe way of tvfoi ming'itself gradually. This reform is effect- ive, and its regular and unhurried process i* suit- able to the spirit of the Constitution, which dreads a sudden shock of any kind, and has grown from weakness into -. strength by this very process: whilst the new system aims at doing- every thing at once, actually roots up fhe old parliamentary usage, under the pretence of improving it, gives us at every step of the process something untried before, and sets ns afloat, inexperienced and ignorant, in a sea of revolution. For our own part, we are as hostile fo abuses as the most vehement Whig can be ; and iu this mind we shall remain . We w ill go the farthest length of the most eager reformer in extinguishing every source of corruption. But let us pause before we throw the whole power of the House of Commons into the hands of the rubble; for what < Mse [ in cities and great towns] than the rabble would be the majority of the householders at ten pounds annual rent. It has been distinctly stated on the returns of the revenue, that an immense number of those householders have not even the mean* of paying their rates, and are at this moment receiving parish allowance— are paupers, is it of such per- sons that the constituency of England is to be formed? What house [ in the cities afud great towns] is there that does not pay £ 10 rent ? The direct result would be, that the members would be returned by a mob; atid that the House of Com- mons would be so far from representing any thing else, that it would be in constant submission to that, mob. Liverpool has now, we believe, 5000 electors; and the scenes disclosed before the Committee that tried the election for bribery, may lead us to think Liverpool sufficiently in the hands of the rabble as it is But the new system would give it 14,000' electors^ generally of a still lotVer claSSj we may imagine with what an increase to the purify of election. But a House of Commons returned ex- clusively by the influence of the £ 10 householders, would be almost tota'ly composed of men ho bad won their way into the House by flattering the passions and follies, or pledging themselves lo gratify the revenge of the multitude. But such a House, from its very nature, would rapidly come into direct collision with the House of Lords. Before a Session was over they must clash Every day some point of business arises iu which the privileges of both Houses are involved, and the most violent collision is now prevented only by the circumstance, that the interests of the peerage are now virtually represented in the blouse of Commons. There the collision takes place, and the crush of the peerage is thus prevented. But let a House of Commons, on the new system, strengthened iu every step by the popular force^ and rendered absolutely irresistible, as it must be, by being- the direct instrument of its masters and c^ eatotSj fhe multitude, feel itself resisted in any measure, how- ever rash and unconstitutional, by the House of Lords, and that House must be broken into frag ments at once. The House of Commons has the purse and the - physical force, the House of Lords nothing- but its parchments. What must be the result of such a contest? The result would be its fall, and after it that of the crown ; for the Peers are now the chief bulwark between fhe crown and the possible rashness or violence of the Commons* The result again would be a repetition of the scenes of Charles the First's reign. The crown would either appeal to the remaining- loyalty ofthe empire, and defend itself by force ; or it would perish with- out a civil war, and a republic would be the sub stitute. But what has been the experience of England in 1618, and of France in 1793? No re- public on a large scale can ever permanently sub- sist iu Europe ; for the obvious reason, that the close contact in which the European states exist renders war inevitable; and that the array as inevitably puts the power into the hands of it general. When in England we see Cromwell seizing the supreme power, and Monk battering it away; and in France, Napoleon scourging and chaining the fierceness of republicanism into the most submissive and scandalous slavery, w e cannot plead ignorance of the natural result of a democratic revolution. We are as hostile as the most hostile jacobin to the bribery and baseness practised at elections; but those are the abuse, not the law : and we demand what is to be the contemplated good of the proposed measure, supposing it sutcieods to the fullest extent, and supposing that, by a dissolution to morrow, it should bring into the Hous^ a new assemblage of men dear to the million ? Is it intended to lower the interest of the national debt? s it intended to cut down the allowances necessary to the decent subsistence of Royalty in the realm ? Is it intended to break the church establishment into 44 the dust atid powder of individuality,* 1 and send the community to learn their religion in the cheap shops for that commodity, and to embrace: Republicanism at the ? ame time. If it does not those, we are at a loss to know what it is to do. These we are certain would be the most acceptable services to the new constituents by which the ne\ v members will be sent to their new House; and if they begin with these things, how long will they abstain from any object tbat may attract popular cupidity ? lu France, before the " reformed parliament" had sat three years* it had voted monarchy a nuisance, religion a fable, and property a nonentity — it had exiled the whole body of the clergy and the nobles, and a vast multitude of opulent and valuable mem- bers of the professions— it had confiscated the lands of the church, the corporations, and the charitable institutions. After having covered the world with the exiles of France, and France itself with beg- gary, it plunged, at the popular demand for plunder, into a war of robbery on its feeblest neighbour, Holland, which brought on a war with the whole of Europe. In this period it had three successive constitutions, the guillotine in the streets of every city, which cost it eighteen thousand of its chief people, aud a civil war in the provinces, which cost it four hundred thousand. But the services ol its regenerated parliament were not over— it finally sold the people to a dictator, who crushed even the remnant of liberty left by the guillotine; drove the population, by whole provinces, like sheep to the slaughter ; and, after a waste of two millions of lives, brought ruin back into the bowels of France, and gave up Paris twice to a foreign conquercr. If these lessons had been of a remote age, we might have talked of the colouring: of romance, but these are things that have passed before the living eve, and are yet sounding in the living- ear. We may say, if we will, that things which Happened on the other side of a strait fifteen miles wide cannot by possibility happen on this side; that the passions of a Frenchman for plunder, power, and revenge, are on a different construction from those of an Englishman — that if a French mob is all extravagance, an English one is all gravity, wisdom, and respect for property, law, and religion; that we have no Captain Swing among us, and that our assizes do rot present the most formidable instances of sullen excess, stubborn depravity, and ferocious violence, to be found in any country in Europe. But until all this can be proved, we must be suffered to shrink from a system alto gether incoherent, rash, and unconstitutional, pal- pably contemptuous of experience, mistaking hazard tor security, and in the guise of renovation forcing on us REVOLUTION. BERKSHIRE REFORM MEETING. The following letter from Mr. Pusey was read by the High Sheriff of the county of Berks, at a meeting held for Parliamentary Reform. 44 London, March 15. 4< iVIy dear Sir,— The relation in which the kind- ness of n> v friend*, and of none more than yourself, lm « .. allowed me to stand with ihe freeholders. nf Berk- shite., will excuse me for offering to you s. ome expla- nation of my absence from their. imtite. di. rtte. noting- at Abingdon." They will allow me, I am sur^, to state freelv w herein I differ from them oil the object of that meeting. Whatever nre the defects of our ancient svstem of representation, the remedy, it appears to me, requires caution and time. Whatever degree of change is wholesome, must now too, it i^ clear, at no dislnttt day be attained. Nothing, therefore, can he gained, w hile much Uiav be lost lly undue liriste. But the hill of Lord John ftu « sell spewut rather an appeal from our reason and- justice to our passions and inter- ests. Its very advocates admit Mint it i « too sweep- ing. A minister of the, crown, who has resigned his situation rather than support it, observed, 1 think very justly, * if everv part of it were good in itself, and the whole must have taken place at the end often years, still I wonhl say let it he done by degrees.' This measure, too, condemns nt once 100 boroughs, which may be. guilty, hut at least are unheard. The party, too, now in power would thus annihilate their old antagonists, the late ministers, who at present wa'eh tlieir proposals in parliament, and would leave to the King nothing hut a Whig- ministry, and a re- publican opposition. 44 However well intended therefore the scheme may he on the" part of some of his Majesty's ministers, or however good its provisions if gradually and justly established, it appears to me that to force it at once into practice would he to give a shock to the public lesp. ect for all our institutions, the iounrleJp, ^ fter all, that any country ever possessed ; and I fear that we should thus endanger, not only property, whether. in laud or funds', whether of landlord or tenant, but should also destroy objects of a higher nature, which have always engaged the affections and supported the character of the country. With deep regret that I should so far differ from those whose regaid is of so much value to me, I remain, liiv dear sir, very respectfully yours, 44 PUIMP PUSEY." FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. The news brought by the French mail of Thurs- day morning is highly important. The Austrians partially entered Bologna on the 20th, in defiance of all the notes and remonstrances of fhe French ministry The speech of M. Casimir Perrier, the French Minister of War, addressed to the Chamber of Deputies, calling for an additional loan of five millions, was absolutely warlike, and if Austria does not return a very satisfactory answer, war must be declared at once. The Austrians, however, have the start of the French* both in a military and financial point of view. The Austrian army, actually in Italy, or on its borders, is not very far from two hundred thousand men. If France can muster half the num- ber, within ten days' march of any probable scene of action, it is the most that she can do. As for the Italian revolutionists* little can be expected from them : they abandoned Bologna without firing a shot) and have placed ail their hopes in carrying OH a guerilla, or rather banditti, warfare in the mountains, which may be embarrassing for a time, but, if not supported from abroad, must be sup- pressed without much real difficulty. All the strong- places in Italy will be in the hands ofthe Imperial troops before the French can move. In point of finances the Austrians have just contracted a loan, and are in possession of sufficient funds. The French have a loan still to raise, and it is 11 > bable that in place of five millions, they must look for ten. It is certain, however, that all France is enthusiastic about this war* and that is very often an element of success. The command of the army of the Alps was first offered to General Gerard, but as he made some difficulties, General Clause! is appointed. He pro- mises, it is said, to date his first bulletin fiom Milan. The following is a copy of a letter addressed by Sir Philip Egerton ( M. P. for Chester) to his Constituents :— To the Mayor, Magistrate*, and Freemen of the City of Chester. CBNTI FMRV. — In consequence, of your unanimous dec- siotr on Tuesday last, in favour of the Biil of Reform brought forward hy his Majesty's Ministers, I take an early Opportunity of communicating to von my opinion on tiie subject I am ready to admit that the present system of Representation is not entirely free from ob- jection, and that defects and anomalies do exist which ought to he removed I am also convinced that a modern'* and w<-| l- dig- ested plan of Refo- in would be most beneficial to the interests of the people and ti e country nt large; nnd such a measure shall, at all fimes, recede my most cordial support. But when I see a Bill of Reform introduced by his Mnjesty's Ministers, founded on hypothesis, and fraught with injustice, proposing SJ total change in the system of representation, a elinuge merely experimental, hut from which, iu case of failure, we have no retreat, I confess I do feel most deeply apprehensive of the con- sequences, should this measure pass into a law. From these and other considerations which have suggested themselves to me, upon a deliberate investigation of the principles of this bill, I shonld not feel myself justified as a man of honour, and a British Senator, in giving it my support. I am. Gentlemen, most fully aware of the duties I owe to my constituents, and of the mutual re- lations which exist between us, aud upon subjects of local interest I » hou! d at all times pay the utmost deference to . your opinions; hot on one of great national imoortanep, like the present, i feel that I have a paramount duty to perform, a duty I owe to my country ; and I could not, consistently with mv sense of that duty, give a vote in support of a measure tending, in niy honest opinion, to subvert the constitution Entcr'aining the* e sentiments, however much I mav regret that any difference of opinion should exist between us, I feel it incumbent upon me to declare that, Unless in the progress of the hill through the House, it shall receive such modifications and amend- ments as shall appear to me to obviate its present defects, I shall consider il my . bouuden duty fo throw every obstacle in the way of so crude und dangerous a measure. Gentlemen, it is more than hinted thnt if this bill should not be carried, Parliament will be dissolved. Shonld this be the case, an opportunity will he afforded yon of marking the sense you may entertain of my conduct ; and should the part I deem it light to take, he the means of depriving me of your suffrages and support, however much I may regret the dissolu- tion of inv connexion with the city of Chester, I shall still retain the proud consciousness of having done my duty. I have fhe honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your mo » t obliged & very humble servant, P DEM. GREY EGERTON. 18, Jermyn Street, March 14, 1831. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. In a Committee of Supply, Mr JAMES GRAHAM moved various items connected with the Navy Estimates, the whole of which were agreed to. The • house afterwards went into Committee on the Civil List, and the < HANCF. IXOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed that a revenue of £ 510,000 be granted to his Majesty during his life. The Committee to which the papers had been referred had reduced the proposed amount to £ 498,470. 10s.; but the difference, the Noble Lord stated, would form so unimportant a saving, and would be treating his Majesty in a way the country would not wish him to be treated, that he did not feel himself justified in proposing to the house the reductions which the committee had recommended. Mr. HUME objected to the amount, and said he should reserve to himself the right of dividing the house on the subject on the report being brought up; the resolution was then agreed to without a division.. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. BEER BILL. The BISHOP of BATH aud WELLS, in presenting a petition from the Mergy of Bath, complaining of the alarming increase of immorality, pauperism, and vice, among the lower orders, which the petitioners at- tributed to the great number of Beer- shops opened under the act passed last session, said he concurred with the petitioners in thinking that that act had had the most pernicious effect, and he believed there never had been one more disgraceful to a christian country.— The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he had heard various complaints from the west and north of England of the operation of the act, and he believed the disorder was worse in the former tha i in the latter. He was convinced that many outrages, in various parts of the country, had com- menced in these beer- houses. Whether the legislature could turn its attention to any alteration of the bill, must be the subject of inquiry. If it should appear that the? e scenes of disorder were only temporary, and one of those mischiefs expected to arise on a change of the law, it must be left to time to produce a favourable alteration. fHiaceUaneous EntelUgcnc*. FREE TRADE— THE POLITICAL ECONOMISTS. [ FROM THE LEEDS INTELLIGENCER ] [ Fiom the Monthly \" arjaune.] The advantages of the present system nre, that by it all the various great interests of the empire nre enabled to find representatives, This was the ( Octvm of Burke, 4< All interests must be let in— a great official, a great professional,, a great military and naval interest, all necessarily comprehending Biany men of the first weight, ability, wealth, aud spirit, has been gradually fnriftpd in the kingdom. Those new interests must be let into a share in the representation." But OH the proposed » ystcra thero With concern we have to proclaim the awful and astounding fact, that the county of Clare is in a state the most terrific and appalling. Walls and gates are levelled to the ground, and cattle hunted to death at night over hedges, briars, and fastnesses*; the usual boundaries and landmarks are destroyed; houses attacked, burglaries committed, and a most extensive seizure of fire- arms effected ! These, how ever, are min r offences compared with the murders and assassinations of the last six months, for wnich n » t one of the sanguinary authors has been brought to the bar of justice. The lives of the high in station bave been plotted with as little concern as the animal of the field is consigned to ' ournal. A* we predicted, ministers were utterly beaten iu the House of Commons, in a division upon that brarCh of the budget which relates to the timber duties. Unfortunate Lord Alfhorp! Unfortunate in his want of political and practical knowledge; still more unfortunate in having on his shoulders Mr. Ponlott Thomson. A tivan so burthened, so weighed down, needs must fall— nothing-^ n- save him. But the noble lord and tiie right hon. vice- president made a bold essay at stealing a march upon the vigilant enemy on the opposition benches. Iustead of bringing- down the old worn- out pro- position, which had been so signally taken to pieces by deputations, petitioners, parliamentary speakers, and newspaper writers, the noble lord came forward with an entirely new project. It is not at all customary with ministers of state to attempt any thing of this sort without notice on the books, without even private intimation. Mr. Atfwood exposed the trick ; and delivered a speech which was absolutely demolishing-. It was in vain that Mr. Poulett Thomson spoke a couple of hours, by way of eradicating the impression— it was ineffaceable. Mr. Robinson, Mr. Merries, Sir Robert Peel, and otlur hon. members followed; and the result is recorded in a majority of forty- six against ministers in a full house. This decision is a tacit condemnation of that free- trade philosophy, of which the Vice President of the Board of Trade is so stanch, and, we will add, so blind a disciple. For what are we to ruin our American colonies? That we may get cheaper timber from the Baltic. So aver some of the ministerial men : but that hope is illusive, for the mere discussion in parliament; has caused the Baltic article to advance to the futl amount of the duty intended to be abolished— not, be it observed, in 1831, but in 1832. Why, then, we again ask, are the Canadas, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia to be ruined? Answer— just by w ay of sanctioning Mr. Ponlett Thomson's theories. The Times has denounced the conduct of Mr. Poulett Thompson and h s political economist associ- ates in the following terms:— 44 It cannot be denied that the tone taken by some of the friends of the measure [ the Timber Duties] has been very offen- sive; and we may perhaps be allowed fo take this opportunity of denouncing that parrot gabble about political economy, which is now so common in and out of parliament. A person attends a few lectures of some. pedant: he gets by rote a few abstract rules, and, because he has acquired a little knowledge, just a degree above the nursery, he sets up f r a states man. A boy who has contrived to acquire tiie recollection of a few rules of syntax or prosody w; ould he scouted, if he, therefore, thought himself qualified to write a treatise on philosophy or an epic poem, and yet one of these political novices will, on the strength of a few scraps of ill- digested maxims, undertake to alter the whole commercial code of a nation, and dispose of the welfare of a great town or important colony with the same nonchalaqjt air, with which a brown coat, is changed for a blue one. These babblers should be taught, that the point in dispute is not the correctness of this or that abstract princi- ple, but the application of that principle to the infinitely various and curiously complicated concerns of mankind. The coxcombs in question may waste as much paper as they please in scribbling, but ihey should not be suffered to meddle with public affairs. They injure every case which they touch, and render contemptible every party which admits their fellow- ship." the knife.— Limerick A SHORT PABLIAMNENT.— The shortest parlia- ment cn record was that of 1399, which had but one session of a single day, and during that short space the> contrived to upset one King and set up a not he rA then ceum. NEW SPECIES OF OATS.— The skinless oats, which we mentioned some time ago as having been grown to prodigious advantage by Mr. Derenzy, of Essex, have also, it appears, been cultivated with like advantage by Mr. Culwick, of the Clive, in the parish of St. Mary, near Shrewsbury. Mr. Culwick, two or three years ago, received sixty grains from a friend in Surrey; he has since planted the pro- duce annually; aud a few weeks ago be sold half a bushel of them in Shrewsbury market for a sovereign. In many instances, although no manure was laid on the land, twelve or fourteen stems sprung from a root, and ninety- nine grains were gathered from many of the heads. When thrashed from the sheaf, it is fit for immediate use, the gyraiu beiog quite free from any particles of rind or husk. It is a native of a remote district of China, but it is very hardy, aud well adapted for this climate. SpeaUinaf of this strain, the editor of " Moore's Almanack Improved" says—" The Avenacea Farina, or Irue skinless oat, is the most valuable crop ever produced in this empire. It was grown in the season of 1830, by Thomas Derenzy, Esq, of Clobemon Hall, who obtained the seed through a friend nf his at Rotterdam, whither it was imported from Sliantang, a remote district in China, and was quite unknown to Europeans till within these three years. Tbe advantages which this extra- ordinary and valuable grain possesses over all oilier kinds of oats are numerous : viz. when threshed from the sheaf it is exactly like oatmeal, and is fit for immediate use for culinary purposes, and every other for which oatmeal is consumed, the grain being quite free from any particle of rind or husk. The flavour is delicious, and it contains much more farinaceous matter. There is of course a considerable saving of oats, and expense of kiln- drying, grinding, sifting, & c. & c. and one peck of it contains more nutritious food for a horse than three pecks of common oats. The produce is most astonishing, the average being twenty- six barrels of fourteen stone to the Irish acre— the exact quantity grown by Mr. Derenzy oil one acre. It was not sown lill the 4th of May, 1830, aud was reaped early in August the same year, It is remarkably hardy, and well adapted for this climate." A robbery of a most daring description, and to a very large amount, was yesterday perpetrated in the Regent stage- coach running betwixt Edinburgh and ( ilasgow, a box, belonging to the Commercial Bank ing Company, containing about £ 5700 in bank notes and gold, having been taken from tbe boot of the coach and robbed of ils contents. It appears that on Monday last the driver of the coach received from a woman in Airdrie money to pay four inside seats for Thursday, and subsequently the two remaining seats for lhat day were let at the coach. office in Glasgow. On Ihe coach starting at 12 o'clock yesterday, how ever, none of the people to whom they were let took up their seats; but at Parkhead a man and woman bailed Ihe driver and entered tbe coach, with which they proceeded till about a mile and a half on the oilier side of Airdrie, where they directed tbe coach to be slopped, and came out, the door having been opened to them bv an outside passenger. The coach then drove off, but no discovery of Ihe robbery bad taken place till it reached Uphall, when it was dis- covered that an aperture had been cut through the body of ( he coach into the boot, and that the box belonging lo the Commercial Bank, which was de- posited there, had b - en broken open, and the whole of Ihc money carried off. The box was secured by a chain and padlock, which were wrenched off, and the robbers, after carefully appropriating tbe money, had returned tbe box to its former position, leaving behind all bills and other papers they could have no use for. The notes were principally of the Com- mercial Bank, and consisted of £' 20, £ 5, and £ 1 notes. A number of them had blue borders of a peculiar description, not generally in circulation, and which will be easily detected. It is said there were about three hundred pounds in gold. Imim diately on the intelligence of this daring robbery reaching Glasgow, an officer, accompanied by one of the gentlemen of ibe branch bank here, set off in the direction of Airdrie, in search of the robbers, but hitherto without success. The driver of the coach is quite unable to give any account of ihe appearance or dress of tbe man and woman who were in tbe coach, but we believe the passenger who assisted them out has been able partially to furnish' a description.— Glasgow Chron. Mr. Amos, in a lecture lately delivered on medical jurisprudence, related the following singular fact: — " I may mention a fact, which of course does not ap- pear in" the printed trial, lhat Patch's counsel then Sergeant Best, pressed Ihe prisoner, in conference before the trial, to say whether he was left handed — but he protested be was not— as the evidence proved that tbe murder was committed by means of a pistol, shot by a left- handed man ; but being called upon to plead, and pul up his hand, he answered— ' Not. guilty,' and raised his left hand.— Legal Observer. SIR JOHN HANMF. R, BARONET.— The comniiltce appointed to superintend the festivities on the coming- of- age of Sir John Hanmer, Bart, laid before an adjourned meeting of the inhabitants of Hanmer, at tbe Hanmer Arms Inn, on Wednesday, the 9th inst. a report of their proceedings, on which occa- sion it was resolved to present the worthy and patriotic baronet with a silver snuff- box, bearing an inscription expressive of their attachment and esteem for him as a landlord and a friend. At tbe same time the thanks of the meeting were voted lo Lord Kenyon, and the Hon. Lloyd Kenyoiij for their constant attention to the interests of the parish. Sir John Hanmer has relieved, through the com- mittee, not less than 200 families during the incle- ment weather. He has likewise kept constantly employed a large number of labourers, who would otherwise have needed support from the parish for want of work; be has paid for tbe fire engine ately ordered by the parish, and contributed £ 50 towards the expenses incurred by a nightly patrol, and to crown all, he has given £ 50 for the purpose of repairing roads and bridges in the parish. Lord Kenyon and the Hon. Lloyd Kenyon have also contributed liberally to the last object. Four brothers, labourers, who reside in tile neighbourhood of Rock- house, near this town, have, within the last mouth, come into possession of property to tbe amount of £ 40,000. This unex- pected windfall was bequeathed to them by a rela- tive, w ho, some years since, went to London, in tbe capacity of porter to an oil- warehouse; and, by steady conduct, so ingratiated himself into the con- fidence of his employer, as to be enabled to enjoy a partnership in his very flourishing business.— Taunton Courier. At Hereford Assizes an action wag tried, . in which the plaintiff, Mr. Hobv, sought to recover damages against Mr. Built, a solicitor, for negligence in not delivering briefs to counsel to drfind two causes in which he was engaged as attorney, and which were tried at the Hereford Spring Assizes in the year 1830. Evidence was offered to shew that had Mr. Built instructed counsel, the plaintiff must have succeeded in both actions. On the part of Mr. Built it was now urged that an attorney was not bound to deliver briefs to counsel unless the client furnished money for that purpose. If was also given in evidence lhat nn the Saturday before the Assizes in question, Mr. Built brought Mr. Hoby lo Mr VVoodhouse, an attorney at, Hereford, to prepare Mr. Hobv's briefs, and lhat Mr. Woodhouse distinctly told Mr. Hoby that he would not deliver the briefs until he received counsel's fees The learned Judge thought that if an attorney went on with a cause, and brought the cause to an assize town, he was not at liberty imme- diately before the trial to say to his client, * I won't deliver briefs unless I receive some money." Verdict fnr the plaintiff— Damages £ 166. 9s. On Wednesday, Geo'ge Madden was cOnticted, at the York Assizes, of stealing £ 2,000 from Ihe betting rooms at Doncaster, in September, 1829, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. It appears by a parliamentary paper, which issued on Saturday, that the late disturbances iu various parts of the country have incurred an expense of £ 25,000, in Special Commissions and for rewards. . The Regent of Belgium may with truth exclaim — t( I'neasy lies the head tbat wears a crown." His Ministers are resigning, aud he can get none lo lake their places. Tbey must indeed be fools who would, if the following description of that country, ill The Times of Wednesday, be correct. " A country lorn by faction— ruled by ignorant, selfish, and mischievous men— ruined in ils trade— dilapidated in its finances— unable to levy taxes adequate to tbe demands of its establishments, and as unable to borrow money from its want of credit — the prey of political quacks and knavish agitators, with ils best citizens proscribed, and its manu- facturing population unemployed— cursed with a jacobin press, bullying Europe, and pandering to the lowest passions of ihe multitude."

INDESTRUCTIBILITY OF MATTER.— The destruc- tion produced by fire is most striking ; in many cases, in the burning of a piece of charcoal or taper, there is no smoke, nothing visibly dissipated and carried away : the burning body wastes and disap- pears, while nothing seems to be produced but j warmth and light, which we are not in the habit of considering as substances; and when all has dis- appeared, except perhaps some trifling ashes, we naturally enough suppose it is gone, lost, or destroy- ed But when the question is examined more exactly, we detect, in the invisible stream of heated air which ascends from the glowing coal or flaming wax, the whole ponderable matter, only united in a new combination with the air, and dissolved in it- Yet, so far from being thereby destroyed, it is only becrtme again what it was beforve it existed in the form of charcoal or wax, an active agent in the business of the world, and a main snpport of vegetable and animal life, and is still susceptible of running again and again the same round, as circumstances may determine ; so that, for aught we can see to the contrary, the same identical atom may be concealed for thousands of centuries in a limestone rock ; may at length be quarried, set free in the limekiln, mix with the air, be absorbed from it by plants, and in succession, become a part ofthe frames of myriads of living beings, till some concurrence of events consigns it once more to a long repose, which, however, no way unfits it from again resumiug its former activity. — IJerscheVs Discourse on Natural Philosophy, in Dr Lar ( liter's Cyclopaedia, Vol. XIV. For complaints in the Stomach and Bowels, which so frequently prevail in this variable climate, as well as for alleviating those distressing maladies the Gravel or Stone, no medicine has been found more efficacious than Diceifs Genuine Daffifs Elixir, which may be purchased of most respect- able Medicine Venders either iu town or country. — Particular care should be taken to ask for Diccy's Daffy's Elixir, and to observe that the name of Dicey & Co. is engraved on the stamp. The Irish landlords, it is said, invest a million per annum in the English funds. They spend more than a million of their ill gotten wealth in France or Italy, and are rich enough, therefore, to maintain their own poor, instead of extorting from their tenants exorbi- tant rents, not a farthing of which they could get without the presence of an English army, and sending their paupers to be maintained in England 44 We simple fools in Britain," says the Quarterly Review, 44 are paying enormous taxes for an army, to enable a handful of Irish landowners to grind to the earth the unfortunate denizens of their own soil, in order tha tlie produce extorted from their slavery may drive our tenantry out of our own markets and our land out of cultivation." At any rate, in the name of justice, let there be a poor law on both sides of the channel, or let the Irish be prohibited from coming to take the benefit of ours. DUELLING.— The regular pistol praciiser— the 44 candle- snuffer at a doa^ n paces," & c & c.— is merely a gentleman who does his best to make that shot, sure, which, by the laws of honour, should be uncer- tain ; and to take advantages of the unskilfulness of others, in a contest where the laws of honour require the most perfect equality. The man who has prac- tised till he can hit the ace of spades, and who yet calls out, to stand his shot, an antagonist who may never have fired a pistol in his life, is not a duellist, but an Whittaikcr't HnrAhiy Afagaeine COVEU, THIS SEASON ( 1831), JL the celebrated Grey Horse, SIR EDWARD. 15 Hands 3 Inches high, llie Properly of Mr. W/ t. r.
