The French papers of llie week lire chiefly occupied with the official details of the Polish victories an nounced jin our last Postscript. I he following are extracts:— OFFICIAL BULLETIN. " ll'arsair, April 1. " TheOotfifhahi'. er- iniCliief having learned that Mar- shal Diebitsch had divided | iis forces,' and only left a small corps of his army fo observe the capital, tool; the resolution to pass with a meat part of his troops to the right bank of the Vistula. After having previously sent General Uminski towards Oslroteiikn, to keep in check the corps of General Sncken, and the Guards who weie advancing thete, he quitted Warsaw during the night of the 20th lilt, and attacked at Wawer the corps " of General Geisinar, who weie there intrenched iii very strong and advantageous positions. While the advanced gnaid of the Polish army were engaged in combat with four regiments of Russian infantry, Gen. Rybinski appealed with his division on the enemy's right, attacked it by storm, and carried at the point of the bayonet all its redoubts and intrenclm euts; he destroyed ou « entiie regiment, forced another to lay down hs arms, took thine cannon, two standards, and drove tlie enemy into a precipitate retreat. In this combat, which lasted more than two hours, the brigade commanded by Colonel Romarino particularly distin- guished itself. The enemy, forced to quit very advan- tageous positions, which weie guarded and fortified since the lflth of February, retieaied to Milosna, where it attempted to nuiVe a stand, but was compelled to yield under the fire of our infantry, which crossed it from both sides. As the enemy was returning towards Minsk, he received fresh leinfo'reeme ts : lie then made ihany attempts to maintain good positions, which the ground presented him; but all ressislance on his part proved useless. Our troops pressed him vigorously, and he did not slop till at Deinbewiclkie, where he rejoined the cmps of Gen. Rosen, which occupied there a military fortified position. I1 was then five o'clock in flic evening, when the resistance had become more obstina'e. The combat lasted till ten o'clock at night. Our artillery occupied the position nf the centre, our Tirailleurs fired from both sides; the fire was lively and well sustained, but after a contest of some hours, the enemy was routed, his positions abandoned to our troops, and he fled with precipitation. His loss must have been very considerable-— it is estimated at 2000 killed and as many wounded. Many officers have fallen, among others the colonel- commandant of the Wilna regiment. We have made 6000 prisoners, for whole battalions were forced to lay do< vn their arms, and we are every instanl hearing that during the present day additional prisoners are hourly bringing into head- quarters. " We have taken twelve pieces of cannon, a great many waggons of ammunition, and a good deal of arms. Tiie regiments of Faucheurs ( scythe- men) having demanded arms, we have assigned to them those left by the enemy on the field of battle; they went to seek them, and are returning armed with muskets. The combat having lasted till ten o'clock at night, and the army being fatigued after more than twenty hours' hard marching and fighting, it was impossible to pursue the enemy. " Nevertheless, the effects of this combat promise ns immense results, for the General- in- c. hief, conformably to the plan which he had so happily conceived, pio- poses to attack the dispersed cantonments of Marshal Diebitsch, and to separate him from the line of his reinforcements. We llope that this bold military opera- tion, so well and ably combined, will lead lo import- ant results, and assure a complete victory to the noble defenders of liberty and nationa- independence. " The President ofthe National Government, Prince Czartoriski, M. Becryzkowsky, member nf the go- vernment, and Count Malachowski, Minister of Fo- reign Affairs, have accompanied the Commander- in- Chief since the commencement of the affair until night- fall; and after having shared his dangers, they have been witnesses of the triumph with which he crowned this memorable day." The following is the letter of the Generalissimo, Written from the camp of Dembcwii Ikie, the 31st of March, at fen o'clock at night. ( Uembevvielkie is four miles ( German) from Warsaw, and one from Minsk.) " TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. " Before I inform you ofthe important events nf this day, 1 unisi premise, that as the army has fought aud marched during the whole day, it is impossible to col- lect all the particular reports so as to render a full account of the affair. Forced to postpone this duty to a more leisure moment, I hasten to communicate to the government the general result. ^ " This day the advanced guard of the national army precipitated itself upoq the corps of General Geismar, which occupied a strong position at Wawer. Afler a combat of two lioiirs, this Corps was beaten and pur- sued upon the road to Minsk. Every where as the enemy, aided hy fresh reinforcements, which he conti- nually received, wished lo profit by the positions which this road so often presented to him. his efforts only drew upon him additional losses. Finally, the whole corps of General Rosen united al Pembewielkie, endeavoured to stop us; bn the battle which we fougilt there ended in Ihe entire defeat of the enemy, and the carrying of all his positions. " During this day, so glorious to the Polish arms, the enemy has suffered a considerable loss. More than 5000 or 6000 men of his have been killed and wounded, as far as we can judge at this moment. " Among tlu1 prisoners are General I. ewandorski, and a great number of superior and other officers. We liave taken two standards, 15 pieces of cannon— of which a part have all their harness— 15 waggons filled with ammunition, and some thousands of muskets. " This victory is the more advantageous for thfc Polish arms, inasmuch as it has not been bought on our side By any very considerable loss. This is attributa- ble to Ihe surprise of the sudden attack which we made, an attack which we followed up throughout the day with the greatest vigour. Many of the enemy's bat- talions were cut to pieces on the field of battle, others were made prisoners ill a body. Being above 20 hours ou horseback, it is impossible for me ut this moment lo furnish a more complete report. I only pray of the National Government to order a solemn service, to thank God for having deigned to shed his blessings upon our arms.' " The Commander- in- Chief SZERZYNECKI." HOUSE OF LORDS- THURSDAY. Ut-' Flt TILL. The Earl of MAUKESISUIIY rose to move for returns of the number of licenses IN t- n out under the new Beer Bill. The Noble Lord complained of the dis- turbance, immorality, and great inconvenience, oc casiom d by the facility whii h the Bill afforded for drinking. In all parts uf the countiy Ihe drunkenness and profligacy of' the lower classes might be t aced to these. be> r shops. The Noble Earl moved that there be laid upon the table of Ihe House a return of the number of licences taken out for the sale of beer under the Act of the illli of George IV. cap. 64, d. stinguishing the number taken out ill each county during the last six months ending in December, 1810. Likewise a return of the number of bushels of malt which paid duty within the same period.— The L. OKD Ci- IAN- CFi. i. on said, he did not see any objection to the Noble Lord's motion. On a former night, when a Bight Rrv. Prelate presented a petition against the Beer Bill, he took occasion to say some disturbances had orriirn d in the West of England, but in the North of England, where be had an opportunity of being more acquainted wilh Ihe population, nothing of the kind occurred. The Bill sanctioned a de- parture from an oltl to a new system, and some irre- gularities had been anticipated. There uas still a deal of information wanting on the subject, and it would be better to wait fi r that ir. f rniatinn before they ventured to legislate too suddenly. ' Ihe Noble and Learned Lord was disposed to fliink fhe discussion which had already taken place would have a salutary effect, and prove a cheek ou the keepers of those beer, houses.— Earl CARNARVON condemned the Bill, as having oppressively destroyed vested rights, and as affording great facilities fur riotous disposition.— Motion agreed to. REFORM DILI,. After s me petitions had been presented, the Mar- quis of LONDON DERRY questioned Earl Grey on the reported alterations and amendments in the minis- : ferial plan of reform. The inquiries of fhe Noble Marquis were similar to those urged on Ihe day pre ceiling in the House of Commons, and Earl GREY replied as Mr. Stanley and Lord Allhorp had done in the other house. The noble carl distinctly stated that it was not part of the government plan that the present number of members, 058, should be retained ; but that ministers did not think that would so essen- tially alter the principle of the hill as to warrant its abandonment. If, however, the number should be retail ed, it was not the intention of government to sanction the restoration of any of the wholly or partially disfranchised boroughs to supply the de. ficiency in the number; that deficiency they should propose to supply by granting the franchise to large and populnus phces and districts To the principle of the b II, he added, he stood pledged ; and by it, he still avowed, he would stand or fall. The Earl of CARNARVON said that he considered the measure neither more nor less than a wholesale confiscation of vested rights. The noble carl ( Grey) and Iiis colleagues, in their march of reform, were supported by all the sedition and blasphemy of the country. In short, the noble lord reminded him of Ihe Neckcr of the French Revolution He would earnestly entreat ministers to proceed with caution and deliberation— the events taking place in the world around called upon them to pause in their proceed " TVarmir, April 1, Jive in the evening " An officer, who left head- quarters at one o'clock this day by order of the Commander- in- Chief, brings to the National Government the news of fresh successes which have this day signalized the devotion of onr heroic army. The enemy made anew attempt to. resist the vigorous attack of onr troops; after a furious com- bat Ihey were again driven in retreat The enemy's loss is considerable;' we have now 2000 prisoners, among whom are many officers of rank; among others, the General of Artillery, l zeczerin, six pieces of can- non, and many waggons of ammunition. The National Government are going to send their secretary to head- quarters, to bear to the Commander- in- Chief the. Cross of Commander of the Military Order of Poland." LONDON— SATUK DAY. His Majesty held a Levee on Wednesday, which was numerously attended ; and on Thursday the Queen held her fourth Drawing Room. The pre- sentations to their Majeslies on the latter occasion were more numerous than at either previously held. I'IUNCKSS TALLEYRAND.— It may not be gener- ally known, even amongst our citizens, that the first husband of the wife of the celebrated statesman Talleyrand, the present Ambassador from the Court of France to this country, lies an humble inmate, of the west churchyard of this city. - Such is the fact: Iiis Gravestone may be seen in what is called u the soldiers' burial ground j" and it is also a fact worth remarking-, that to the generous warmth and kindly feelings of a fellow- soldier, his remains are indebted for the humble record that marks his place of rest. Charles Jeffreyes Syrries was the name of this officer, Lieutenant and Adjutant in the7lh Regiment of Foot. He met his untimely death by a fall upon the ice in skaiting ; his funeral, and the great regret experienced by all classes at the sudden decease of one so much respee'ed, are yet vividly remembered by the older inhabitants. The lady's name has now escaped our memory, but it has been mentioned that she was a native of one of the midland counties of England, and a most interesting and accomplished woman. This circumstance occurred in the year 17S( 3,— Symes was then aged ' 28.— After his death, the beautiful and accomplished, but disconsolate, widow, spent many a solitary hour in wandering about the shrubbery which then flourished where " Lovelane" now is. She was a great favourite from her accomplishments and beauty, and through the medium of some generous friends was enabled to leave our city, and, strange to say, attain a rank that in her infant years she never could have dreamed of.— Aberdeen Observer.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that if there was one individual in their lordships'' house more ready'to prevent any innovation on the settled in- stitutions of the country. which had grown up with her prosperity* he was that: individual. The bill of Reform which he had himself once intended to intro- duce went a great way on the principle ofthe measure now brought forward. It did not go so far as to the disfranchisement of the boroughs: but it. carried the principle of transferring the right of voting to house- holders to a still greater extent. He had at first some doubts as to part of the present bill, which he should never be ashamed to own, however unpopular it might be 5 but after due consideration he was enabled fo give his absent to a sweeping measure— he would not say of change, but of restoration of the purity of the constitution. He concurred in a larger measure than he intended to introduce himself, because, being in office, and having the support of government, he thought a larger measure more likely to be carried. The measure he had intended to bring forward was formed on a consideration of the utmost he could have got under the then existing circumstances. Lord WYNFORD was happy to find that the noble and learned lord was not one of the projectors of what he considered one of the most scandalous parts of the bill,— he alluded to the sweeping measure of borough disfranchisement. What be ( Lord Wynford) asked was, that, such a measure of sweeping confis- cation might not. be adopted without any offence proved. Let them first convict of crime, and then punish. The confiscation did not stop with the boroughs: it affected the rights of freemen, free holders, and burgage- tenants. Let their lordships take care lest they shonld employ weapons which might be turned against themselves to- morrow. Freemen claimed their freedom by birth by as com plete a right as their lordships laid claim to their titles. Admitting that the existing freemen were not fo be deprived of their privileges, how could their lordships answer for faking away their rights from the children of freemen ? [. el it be recollected also, that the rights of freeholders in towns and burgage tenements were descendible by birth. The noble and learned lord declared that property was the basis of representation according to the bill, and that it gave to freeholders votes. They had votes before in counties, and now they were to be mixed up and neutralized with paupers. In towns, £ 10 h useholders would far outnumber those of a higher grade; and in point of fact paupers would be the persons to return members of parliament. ' I he House of Com- mons would be elected by one class in the state, fie calculated, that of a certain number of members, 136 would be returned by the landed interest* and 298 by towns. It had been said, that the effect, of this bill would be to prevent universal suffrage ; he considered universal suffrage and universal plunder as one and the same thing; and yet he did not know that he should not prefer universal suffrage to a bill like the present. There were three principles of representa- tion— population, property, and talent; the two first were otil of the question in this measure, which he admitted would bring talent of a certain sort into the representation ; but. what would it be ; Demagogue talent—- the falent of persons who, having nothing to lose in the shape of principle or property, would render themselves ready instruments to destroy and pull down tiie long- established institutions of the country. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. In presenting a petition from Manchester, for vote by ballot, Mr. HUNT slated his regret at the absence of the lion, members for Kirkudhright and Waterford, both of whom had attacked him last night, as the present petition would have shown them that he was correct in his observations. He had been attacked by those hon. members, so that between Sawney and Blarney he had enough upon his hands. Mr. O'CONNELL ( who had just then entered the house) congratulated the hon. member on becoming the oracle of Tories, who now continually quoted him on all important occasions. He was, in fact, a mock reformer, and not a real pne ; and, without accusing him of selling himself to the Tories, he must say that he had mistaken and misrepresented the people of England. He did not mean to say that he had been bought, for he did not think that he would seli him self to the Tories, or that they would buy him— but he had certainly shown them that he was a lumping- pennyworth if they were disposed to purchase. Mr. HUNT, in reply, said, I do not insinuate, but I boldly and plainly tell the hon. member for Water- ford, in the face of Ibis House, and in the face of the country, that he trafficked with the Marquis of Anglesey for the very office which Mr. Doherty now holds. There would have been no agitation about the Union if Mr. Doherty had not got the situation instead of him. He savs he is the real reformer, and that I am a sham reformer. Now I appeal to this House ( it is of no use appealing to him, because he has a double way of shuffling), and 1 defy him to say that he ever remembers that in my life I avowed other sentiments than those I avow to- day. 1 have always advocated universal suffrage and vote bv ballot. The state of Ireland, and particularly of the county of Clare, was brought under the consideration of the House by Mr. O'BRIEN, the member for the county ( own, Enuis, who, after describing the outrages daily committing in that county, urged upon the house the necessity of granting a committee to inquire into the eau- es of the evils.— Mr. STANLEY, on the part of . lie Irish government, was desirous that the great question should not at present be entered into. A number of Irish members expressed their opinion, almost without exception, that provision must be eventually made for the unemployed and suffering peasantry of that country by a system of poor laws of some kind or other. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. In compliance with the Royal, Message to that effect, a provision was voted . to her Majesty in the event of her surviving the King. The amount voted is £ 100,000 per annum; and Bushy Park and Marl- borough House are assigned to her as residences. Mr. BUXTON introduced the subject of Negro Slavery, and concluded a speech of great length by moving a resolution to the effect that; the house, in May, It 23, had resolved ttiafe means t © i|| ht to be taken for the amelioration of the state . ol?- the slave with a view to his gradual manumission; that the colonial legislatures had not- acceded to the wishes of the house ; and that it was desirable for the house to fake the subject into its immediate consideration, wilh a view to the safe but speedy abolition of Slavery. 1'-— The motion was seconded by Lord MORPETII. Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS opposed the resolution, but expressed his willingness to second a motion for a committee of inquiry into the alleged decrease of human life among the slave population of the colonies. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER disap- proved of the resolution, because, calling as it did for immediate emancipation, it was likely to be pro- ductive of danger. He admitted, however, that something was necessary to be done; and the best course for the legislature to pursue was fo confine itself to measures of amelioration, with a view of gradually preparing for emancipation. The time was certainly arrived when parliament must show that it was in earnest, and that it would not allow its former resolutions to remain a dead letter. There were, the noble lord added, two ways of doing this- the first vvas by direct legislative interference in the Colonies, and he should much regret, if they were driven to take such a step. If, however, fhe Colonies per- severed in the same course, it would become their bounden duty fo do it. The other course was to pass resolutions with a view to the attainment of the object they had in view; and the resolut. ons he should therefore propose were, " that in the resolu- tions of the 15th of May, 1823, that house recognised th" duty of ameliorating the condition of the slave population of fhe Colonic^;- that, iu those colonies which were subject to the King in Council the resolu- tions of that house were acted upon, and the con- dition of the slave in consequence improved ; that in the other colonies having legislative assemblies these resolutions were not vet adopted." To induce those colonies to adopt the regulations of 1S23, which hitherto refused to do so, the second resolution he should propose was, that in the rate of duties levied on the importation of produce from the colonies, such a distinction should be made as would favour the produce of those colonies which adopted fhe resolu tions proposed by government in 1823 This, it was clear, would make it their interest to adopt them. No more was asked from those colonies than what had already been done with perfect security in the crown colonies, as was proposed in the case of St. Lucie, which, though at first unwilling to act upon fhe resolutions, found them eventually so beneficial that they agreed to an address, expressing their gratitude for a change so beneficial. It was impossible that . such a resolution as he proposed should not have some influence upon West India proprietors, both at home and in the colonies. If these resolutions Iwere not effectual, then it. would become the duty of the house to proceed further. Mr BURGE opposed himself both to the original resolution, and to the measure recommended by government, as also did Mr. STEWART and Mr. H. Twiss— Lord Ho WICK and Dr. LUSHINGTON advocated the resolutions recommended by Lord Althorp. Sir ROBERT PEEL questioned the justice of the plan, the effect of which would be to punish the innocent and complying proprietor, as well as the refractory. T he great importance of the question and the probable consequences it involved rendered more consideration necessary than government was prepared to give it. The Hon. Bart, concluded by saying, that if the house had any spirit, it would reject the resolutions altogether, Mr CARING recommended a committee of inquiry into the state of slavery in preference to the course recommended by ministers. The ATTORNEY GENERAL called upon fhe house, in a spirit of justice and mercy, to support the reso lutions submitted by the Chancellor of the Exche- quer. After some further discussion the Consideration of the subject was adjourned to Tuesday week. TO GROCERS $ DRUGGISTS. ANTED, an Assistant in the above Business.— Apply ( Post- paid) to Messrs.

They speak of warlike preparations in various parts of France, and look to hostile operations, whil th* 3 Government treats all that is doing as mere pre- cautionary measures. Whatever may be the result of these preparations, as to her external relations, it is certain that there is a very agitated spirit in full play in the Capital. The frequent riots, which are evi- dently the work of mischievous and designing people, are permitted to go on with impunity— and this under a Government arrogating to itself the . character of firmness, and in the midst of a large garrison and of the National Guards, on whom so much reli. ince has been placed. The same indi position to repress riots, also prevents the punishment of criminals to the destruction of good order In consequence of the interference of fhe French Government, the Court of Vienna has ordered Baron I'Yimont to withdraw from the Papal territory. This was formally announced by the President of fhe Council, who added, that " it is probable that at this moment the Austrians have completely evacuated the Roman states." It would seem from the Brussels Papers, that up to the 5th inst. Marshal Diebitsch was still in action, and that the defeats of Generals Gei mar and Rosen were treated as of no importance, nor likely to lead to any important results. The House of Commons met this evening at an early hour, and every part was. crowded, to excess.— A petition in favour of tiie Reform Bill, from the freeholders of Sussex, was presented.— Mr. SIIELTJEY said he did not believe there were thirty freeholders present at the meeting at which the petition was got up, and that the Bill was not at all popular with- those that were freeholders of the county.— Lord G. LEN- NOX said the whole county was in favour of the measure. 1 ' '' ! Mr. CRESSETT PELHAM said, he toad hitherto been an independent freeholder of Sussex, but if this Bill passed, those who were now independent freeholders of counties would no longer remain so. The House then went into a Committee on the Re- form Bill. Lord John Russell stated the alterations intended by Ministers from their original plan, and by which the number of Members would now be reduced only 31.— On this General Gascoyue rose, and moved a resolution that there should be no diminution of the number of Members.— A debate followed, that was protracted till a late hour, and was then adjourned 10 the following afternoon.

The Duke of Cumberland honoured Lord Kenyon with his company at. dinner on Saturday evening, at his residence at Portman square. A numerous party of the nobility and gentry were present to meet his Royal Highness. IMPORTANT TO OVERSEERS OF THE POOR, AND SURVEYORS OF HIGHWAYS.— A bill is now in pro- gress through the House of Commons, brought, in by Mr. Portman, the member for Dorset, entitled " A bill to consolidate and amend the laws relating to highways, in that part of Great Britain called Eng- land." This bill, we understand, goes entirely to supersede the old mode of electing Surveyors of the Highways, and provides for the appointment of cer- tain persons to execute the duties of the Surveyors, who are to be called Waywardens. The bill contains several most objectionable clauses; amongst them is one which empowers any two of the Waywaidens of the parish to issue an order requiring the Overseers of the Poor to pay out of the money collected for the relief of the poor, or to levy it as part of the rate, any sum of money, not exceeding at any one time a shilling in the pound, for the repair of roads, & c. Another clause enacts that if the amount be not paid within forty days, any two Justices of the Peace shall, on the complaint of the Way wardens, issue a warrant of distress for levying the amount, or so much of it as may be in arrear, on the goods of Overseers ; that if fhe goods of all the Overseers are not sufficient to cover the amount, the arrears shall be added to the next levy to be made upon the parish ; that in case of any neglect or default on the part of any Overseer, the said Justices may appoint two or more persons to act as Overseers of the Poor within any parish for leni/ ing the money required for the purposes of the act, with the sampowers, remedies, and privi- leges , as if they had. been appointed Overseers ofthe Poor by virtue of any law or laws now in force. Such an act would entail upon us all the abuses of the Irish Grand Jury System, and we trust that, in its present form, it will meet with strenuous and efficient opposition. LAW OF SETTLEMENT.— A bill has been brought into parliament, to amend the laws of settlement by apprenticeship, and by hiring and service. The bill consists of a single clause, and declares that from and after the passing of the act, no male person shall be held to have acquired a settlement in any parish, township, & c. in England and Wales, by reason of his having served an apprenticeship or any portion of an apprenticeship, subsequent to the passing of the act, nor by reason of any hiring made or service per- formed as a servant in husbandry, in such parish, & c. subsequently to the passing of the act. Messrs. Crawcour, the eminent Dentists, who are on a professional visit to this town, continue to give the most decided proofs of their talents— they have at- tended on a great number of individuals since their arrival here, of the highest respectability. We un- derstand that the arrangements of these Gentlemen will not allow them to continue here much longer, it will be, therefore, necessary for those persons who may wish to have the benefit of their superior mode of treatment, to make an early application. INTIMIDATION!— If any thing could shew the weakness of the Reformers ( as they call themselves, par excellenceJ, it is the attempts made by them in every direction, in the Parliament and out, in speech and print, to intimidate their opponents:— In the Sun of Monday evening, a writer, professing to be a Scotchman, says— " Should his Majesty's Ministers be defeated, which God forbid! the tocsin has only to be sounded, and thousands will pour from the heath- clad hills and fertile valleys of the north, with the claymore un- sheathed, ready, willing, and able to march in defence of their King, Constitution, and their own just rights." Heaven help the simpleton that writes or speaks in this way. Little does he know of the men that occupy " fhe fertile v - lleys" of England, if he sup- poses that such drivelling nonsense as his will affect them. Nothing can shew more clearly the shifts that the party is driven to, than the publication of such lucubrations as those from which the above passage is extracted. In the Commission Court, Dublin, on Thursday last, Mr Luke Dillon, a young man of a highly respectable family, was found guilty of feloniously assaulting and violating Miss Anne Frizell, a young lady Of irreproachable character and most respectable family, and was sentenced to be executed on the 7th of May.

Forty cargoes of foreign wheat have arrived within the last week.

Foreign wheat, unless of the very first quality, is unsaleable.

In the early part ofthe week, the trade generally was dull; but the decline, on Tuesday, of 2d. to 3d. per bushel, brought several of the interior millers and dealers to this market, and the transactions have since been to rather a large extent. This, together with the increase of the duty to 6s. 8d. per quarter, has given more confidence, and, at this morn- ing's market, though no actual advance in prices, there was much less disposition to press sales.

The American Consul advised that an affi- davit of tlie debt, and a power of attorney to an agent in New York to act for its recovery, should immediately be sent out, which advice was followed. Air, on his arrival in New York, lodged his money in a bank ; in a few days he was arrested and thrown into prison for the debt, and an injunction was obtained from the Court of Chancery to impound the money. He had therefore no alternative but to submit to the restitution of the plunder, or remain in prison. He preferred the former course, and was discharged. Messrs.

THE REFORM QUESTION. Parliament has re- assembled ; and short as the recess has been, it has given time for reflection, and produced those effects upon the public mind, which, during the debate upon the Reform Question, were not likely to arise from the state of excitement and collision of feel- ing into which it had been thrown. The cfi'ect indeed is so apparent, and has extended itself so widely, that the most decided friends to the Revolutionary Bill acknowledge, that a re action lias taken place, which excites in them the greatest apprehensions fir the fate of the Bill altogether. On the first night of the meet- ing,' Lord John Russell stated, that the Ministers had again re- considered the Bill, and " had found il neces- sary," ( we quote from Ihe Times,') " to propose a con- siderable departure from the scheme of reform which had been submitted to the House of Commons." The alterations proposed will be found in the speech of the Hon. Member, who contended, most erroneously, that 110 one principle of the Bill. would be departed from. So unsatisfactory, however, were the arguments ad- duced by Ihe Hon. Member to persuade tne House to coincide with him, that Sir Robert Peel has asserted " the alterations made it. quite a new Bill;" and that it Would be the height of injustice to go into the Com- mittee 011 Monday, without giving the House further time to Consider the alterations, and " to be made ac- quainted with the number of new places, not yet known, which were to return Members." The length which Ministers mean to go in their re- volutionary scheme was 011 Wednesday further dis- closed, by the Ministers stating that the additional Members now proposed to be added to their first plan will all be given to the large towns and populous ( that is manufacturing) counties.—- The first scheme am nou iced a scale of three to one against the agricultural interest: the improved plan will give a proportion of at least four to one against them Already have the manufacturers and traders in the existing and proposed boroughs obtained numerous promises of votes from their incipient Representatives against Ihe corn mono- poly ( as tlie phrase uow is). The farmers and their labourers ought to . know what t! lis < ib ol it ion of their protecting statute means— it means wheat at Baltic pri. ces, 25s. the quarter; workmen fed on Pomeranian diet— bran- rusks and'fermented cabbage- leaves; this too to be had only on condition that the English can work as little taxed as the Pomeranians. Fundh ' dcrs, • whether you draw your dividends directly, or insure in an insurance o ffice, or deposit in a savings' banli, think of that! . The manner in which the projected enlargement of radical power is brought out affords- a fine illustration of the. paltry but wicked motives, and of the theatrical cunning,, by which the whole. affair is characterized. Not only Lord Brougham ( see his speech of Thursday night) but the other Ministers themselves, had first, prepared a reasonable and cautious scheme of Reform. They counted upon the support, and they would have had the support, of the country interest to that scheme. Then came the bungled budget, the wretched offspring of all the self- sufficie t feebleness of all the Poulett Thomsons. This was too much for human endurance : 110 man with a particle of conscience, or with no more than the ordinary powers of face, could support them through this budget. The country party fell off from them. Irritated and in despair, the Ministers plunged into the mob ofthe radicals- the Reform Bill was wholly re- cast; but here again haste, passion, and incapacity, caused its authors to throw away the prin- cipal advantages of their change. The Whig boroughs were to be saved and multiplied as far as possible; and in order to save, it was necessary to define; in defining, the neglected were as early apprised of the slight offered to them as the favoured wore of the intended favour. Hence the very different fee'bff entertained towards the bill by those who were benefitted by it, and those who were not. The flagging zeal of the disinterested reformers became infectious ; ihe general ardour upon the subject, never of a Very high temperature, was rapidly cooling ; down comes Lord John Russell to the House on the first day after the recess; announcing, " We have sixty more seats to give away ; there,. boys,— a scramble,--- there they are for the loudest shouters!" Well aware that public gratitude respects f uture favours only— instructed by recent experience, that in conferring a limited number of benefits as many enemies as friends may be made, Lord John takes care that all the radical districts shall hope, but. none shall be certain. Like the learned in dog- stealing, he draws the whole bevy after him by the display of two or three morsels, of which a very few only can partake: And is it not lamentable when such pcop'e as Lord John Russell and his colleagues can hope to manage the universal Britisli nation by such means 1 Among the other memorabilia of the week are some scenes enacted in the House of Commons by Mr. Henry Hunt. What the object of this man is, we shall not assert— but we will again venture our opinion that he is one of those individuals that are not to be t. rns'ed in politics: he and Mr. O'Connell have fallen foul of each other ; and we think they are the parties best fitted for a dispute, both by talent, conduct, and cha- racter '.— The fatal enactment, of 1829 put both thc- e persons into the Ilou^ e; and in doing so iuslly reward- ed the Hou> e o: Derby and the former Representative of Clare for their previous support of the measure which gave up Ireland to the Romish priests and Preston to the Irish labourers, for of such is a greater part, of Hunt's constituency Composed-— and the House of Derby, Emancipationist's and reformers as they have been, ate in the person of Mr. Stanley, the heir of the family, compelled to leave the borough situate at their own door, and to seek a plnce in the Senate through the nomination borough of Windsor I Declarations against the Ministerial Plan of Reform have been numerously and most respectably signed in the counties of Berks, Surrey, Hants, Essex, & c. and in Leeds and various other places. Several of the counties of Scotland have. also petitioned Parlia- ment against the measure; and a wide- spread feeling j is gaining additional strength throughout the rank, intelligence, and property of the kingdom, that the ministerial scheme is altogether incompatible with the security of property and the existence of the most cherished institutions of the country. Lord Edward Somerset, M. P. for Gloucestershire) having voted against the Reform Bill, some of the freeholders in the manufacturing districts of that connty expressed an intention to oppose his re- election in the event of a dissolution of Parliament— In con- sequence of this, a declaration has been already signed by about 3.00 of the principal landed proprietors and gentlemen of the county, expressing their determina- tion to use their utmost endeavours to secure, in case of a Dissolution of Parliament, the return of Lord Edward Somerset to that seat in the House of Commons which he has so long and so ably filled. l. ord Eastnor has put forth an able and manly address to his constituents at Hereford, in which he assigns his reasons for opposing the Reform Bill. His Lordship states that, he objects particularly to the alteration of the relative proportion of Members of the different parts of the Empire—- to rendering the right, of voting ( except for Connty Members) precisely the same— to the sweeping changes, which entirely disregard ancient rights, and which treat alike those who have and those who have not abused them ! Is this ( he asks) justice ? Is such a system calculated to inspire confidence and security ? Tiie Noble Lord signifies also his disapproval of the manner in which the details of the New Constitution arc to he entrust- ed to a Commission issuing from the Privy. Council; and, although " not opposed to all Reform," feeling convinced that if this bill should pass into a law, the time is not far distant when this nation will have cause bitterly to reproach the Parliament that enacted it, he cannot, he says, give it his support. Mr. J. Shelley, who also voted against ( he Reform Bill, has issued an address to his constituents, in which he says—" Having been hitherto returned bv you wholly unpledged, 1 cannot believe, that, the honest expression of my conviction on the most vital change that has evfr been attempted in the eonstitu lion, can sever our - political connexion ;— on the con- trary, i am persuaded) that when the clauses of this bill are better understood, the good sense of the borough of Lewes will prevail ; and that however, at first, some may be seduced by the love of power, and of increased personal consequence, which the bill apparently offers-— all will at, last see that it can never he a real benefit to disfranchise one whole order in the state ; but that such injustice will work its own destruction in no long period of time." Dreadjv/ Jlccident at Brovrjhtcu Suspension Bridye* tROM - triE MAN CH FSTF. tt CHRONICLE. An accident of a truly frightful nature, but, which fortunately was not attended with any loss of lio * occurred at. tlie Chain bridge, ih Broughton [ Salford] on Tuesday, "' he (. 0th Rifle Corps, now stationed in this town." under tlie command of Colonel Eliis* had a field day at Kersal Moor, the party stationed at. Hulme Barracks having marched to the ground along Sti'angeways, and the other detachment, from Regent- road Barracks, along Sal ford and across the Suspension Bridge. When the day" 1* exercise was finished, Lieutenant Htzgerald ( son of the proprietor Of the bridge) was desired to take the Command of the soldiers quartered in Sal ford, about sixty- eight in number. The detachment arrived at fhe bridge at. a quarter past twelve o'clock at. noon, but when tlu; Commanding officer, who walked in front of the men* had arrived nearly at the centre of the bridge* a dreadful crash was heard, resembling a continuous discharge of musketry, and in a moment, " afterwards it was discovered that the bridge on the right hand side was separating from the abutment. So sudden was the accident, that in aiiotlu r instant the upper stone on the same side, upon which a massive iron pillar was erected, was violently dragged out of it-? place and forced into the river. The scene whieh ensued may readily be conceived. The whole of tin4 s Idiers who occupied ' situations on the portion of the bridge that fell were precipitated either into the river or among the chains, which were sunk so low- as to be covered for several feet from the pier by the water. Few persons witnessed fhe scene, and some time elapsed before assistance could be procured. It fortunately happened that the river was iemarkablv low, not more than four feet, in depth, so that the soldiers in the water, all of them hardy and active men, succeeded hy great exertion in - extricating themselves fiom their perilous situation, with no further injury than that resulting from a thorough immersion. Those . of the men who fell against the chains suffered the most severely, and many of them were seriously cut or bruised in the head and other parts of the body. The entire number wounded is eighteen ; one of them sustained a dangerous fracture in the right arm $ another had oue of the small b. ones of his leg broken; one received a deep cut at the back of the right ear; another was much hurt; and the rest were injured in a slighter degree. Lieutenant Fitzgerald, in consequence of his.' ad* vanced station on the bridge, and his great personal exertions whilst it was falling, succeeded in laying hold of the chains and maintaining his footing. Several of the men near him were equally fortunate, some supporting themselves by the chains on the right hand, and others by those on the left or upper side of the tottering edifice. VVe, Understand that upwards of forty of the party were plunged into the river or thrown against the chains, and that most of them dropped their rifle- pieces into the water. An soon as they regained terra firnia, Lieutenant Fitz- gerald humanely ordered a small quantity of brandy to be administered to each of the men who had beeii in the river, and the wounded so'diers were removed with all expedition to the hospital in Regent- road Barracks, where they were immediately attended to by tlie military surgeons. Such of the men as escaped injury were engaged for some time after the accident in recovering the rifle- pieces, the whole of which) wilh the exception of three that still remain undiscovered, were found in the course of a few hours. The accident was caused by the fracture of the main chain, which is of malleable iron, and is formed on each side of the bridge of a double row of straight round boltsj two inches in diameter, and about five feet long each. Workmen have been employed throughout fhe week in taking down the bridge, in order to its being immediately re- Constructed. The cost of building it amounted, we understand, to several thousand pounds; and a very large sum will have to be ex- pended in its re- erection. If we are sincere in the political creed we profess, there are. many things which we ought to affirm, cannot be done by king, lords, and commons. Among these, I reckon the disfranchising of boroughs, with a general view of improvement. I consider it as- equivalent io robbing ihe p'triies concerned o f their freehold, of their birth- right. I say, that, although this birth- right may be forfeited, or the exercise of it suspended in particular cases, it cannot he taken away by a general law, for any real or pretended purpose of improving the constitution.— Junius. By the last Bombay papers it appears that an earthquake has taken place in China, by which 500,000 to L000,000 of inhabitants are represented to have perished; twelve towns or cities are de- stroyed; the earthquake wis accompanied hy hail- storms and fl ods, which lasted three days. fHtarcUaueous EntcIIigcttre.

NEW BEER SHOPS.— The following resolutions, relative to the new beer shops, were adopted by the bench of Surrey magistrates at the late Easter Session-?. " Resolved unanimously, that it is the opinion of this court, that the act of parliament for licensing beer shops, allowing the liquor to be drunk on the premises, has been most injurious in its effects, as tending to demoralise the labouring classes, and induce them to spend their earnings instead of carrying them homo for the support of their families.'* STOCK EXCHANGE GAMBLING SUICIDE.— AN inquest has been held on the body of Mr. Macpherson, a woollen draper, of Hoi born hill, respecting whose death the following circumstances were adduced : — Mr. Robson, a Blackwell hall factor, deposed that the deceased had for a number of years past speculated to a considerable amount on the Stock Exchange, in which he had lost and gained large sums of money. At an early hour on Monday morning he was sur- prised at receiving a visit from the deceased, who said he called upon him for the purpose of asking him to take a short walk. Witness, previous to seeing- him, had received a letter from him, requesting' the loan of from £ 400 to £ S00 ; but on walking out witli him as requested, he said 41 It would be or no avail; that he would not rob him by taking the money"— and at the time made some allusions to his intention of committing suicide. Witness not. exactly hearing the words he had uttered, took no notice of them, and having in some degree roused him, left, promising to see him again in the course of the day, when pro- bably he would bring him the sum requested. In the evening he went to the deceased's house, where, in his counting- house, he communicated to him his having' obtained the money, and again endeavoured to rouse him, knowing that his affairs were not of that nature to create any great anxiety, and requested ( aware that he kept pistols) that if he had any weapons to give them up to him. Dec ased replied, " You need not apprehend any harm and while he ( witness) was in ti e act of leaving the room, the deceased, turning' up a portfolio which lay on ( he desk, took from un- derneath a brace of pist ds, and, as he supposed, placing both to his forehead, shot himself, and in- stantly fell back on a chair, before he ( witness) was aware of his intention.

Mr. Evelyn Denison's expenses amount to rather less than half this sum. To DESTROY THISTLES, FERN, AND COLTSFOOT. — Having once a pasture field, that, seemed one bed of common thistles, and having occasion to carry manure across it. to another field, I observed all the thistles completely killed wherever the carts went; 1 therefore set to, and rolled The whole field with a cast- iron roller, once in the latter end of May, and twice in fhe beginning of June. The field has been free of thistles ever since. The expense was only three shillings per acre. Fern and Coltsfoot I have exterminated in the same way. SALOPIAN JOUraAL, AM3> COUE1EK OF WALES.

Mr. W. PATTEN presented! a petition from Man- chester and Sal ford, against Ihe tteforrtl Bill. The petition was signed by a area! number of the most 1' eSpectable merchants in Manchester and Salford.— The petition Was ordered to be printed. Mr SANDERSON presented a petition from the town of Cavan, praying thai that town might be allowed to send a Member to Parliament. General GASCOYNE presented a petition from the corporation of Liverpool, against certain clauses of fhe lleform Bill.-- The petition was ordered to be printed. General GASCOYNE said tie begged to call the attention of the house to a petition he was about to present. He had about six weeks ago declared it to be his conviction that some measure of reform was necessary. He had also presented a petition from Liverpool fo the same effect. He had now another petition to present tVom that borough, and he fully agreed with it in its statements. He con- tended lhat 110 man in the country had ever expected or wished for so sweeping a measure as fhat which had been brought forward by Ihe noble lord ( J. Russell). No one had ever contemplated fhe disturbance of the relative proportions sent to that house by the different counties. Such a measure ought not lo have been brought forward without due inquiry, and least of alt was such au innovating change to have been expected from one of the house of Russell, tn a few evenings he should move the instruction to the committee of which he had given notice, and he would not now detain the house, as he should, ou lhat occasion, have an oppoituuity of addressing the house He eoufd not, however, avoid calling the particular attention of the house to fhe petition tie had to present. That petition was most respectably signed ; indeed he had never presented a petition to that house which better deserved its attention. The petitioners did not complain of parliamentary reform, but they complained of the extravagant and sweeping enactments of ihe bill. The petition also complained ofmlditional representatives being given lo Ireland and Scotland. The uoble lord had said that the bill he had introduced w'as to put the question at rest, but already there had been peti- tions from Irelaud for au additional number of representatives. One honourable member bad called for thirty. two nddiiional members for Ire- land, aud against that he protesfed. General GASCOYNE moved that the petition from Liverpool be printed. Mr. O'C ONNEI. L contended lhat Ireland had right to au increased number of members. Lord I. Nco\ lHl: wished to know IVom the noble lord (. 1 Russell) whether any new and more perfect population returns were lo he expected. Th returns which had been altered had, it appeared to liiin,. been altered for the worse, and upon no clear and intelligible principle. Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed himself willing to give the uoble lord nud the house all the informa- tion he possessed The first returns on which the government bail relied in framing their nieasuie for places to send members to parliament, were the population returns. Besides these, there were Veturns made tn the Home Office, which were not made by those who framed Ihe hill. A letter had been sent from the Home Office to every city and borough, specifically inquiring if the limits of the tiorough were the same ns those given in the population returns? The answers to those letters enabled Ihe government to correct those returns; anil the answers had been laid before the house, as Well as the corrected returns. The returns called for by the noble lord, aud laid on the table, had been corrected by those letters, which enabled those who d'rew them up to correct the population returns us lo each particular place. There was not correct information, perhaps, for all ; but that which was contained in the paper before Ihe house was better than thut of the mere population returns. ' I he letters referring to this subject, which had been sent lo the Home Office, had been laid before the hoiise, and were HOW printing, aud might serve to correct Ihe returns In consequence, loo, of what had fallen from the right hou. baronet, the member for Tamworth, he had endeavoured to procure returns from each particular place; so thai, hi respect to population, they might all be regulated hy Ihe same principle, and placed on Ihe same fooling. His honourable friend the Under Secretary of Slate for Ihe Home Department, had ulso moved, that copies of any memorials addressed to the Secretary of State for the Hoine Department, relative lo the population returns, should be laid on the table. That motion had not been sufficiently attended to, as the results of that would go lo correct some errors of the population returns. It was intended, also, to took at the petitions, and take into consideration any of litem which hud any reference to the limits or the population of any of the boroughs. There were then lour series of documents ou which the details of the Reform Hrll conld be framed and corrected. First, there were the population returns of 1821. Secondly, there were Ihe corrections which had been made to them by the letters he had referred to. Thirdly, there were the memorials which had been presented to the Secretary of Stale, complain- ing of the inaccuracy of those returns. And fourthly, there were the petitions which he had presented to the house, aud which related to the limits or population of boroughs. From all these sources he hoped to come to a correct conclusion respecting all the places contained in schedules A. and B. He would lake that opportunity of men- tioning one case of defective information— thai was Buckingham. Il appeared from petitions laid before the house from the burgesses of lhat place, that a considerable part of Hie town of Buckingham was not included in the population returns, and if that were included in theni — if the whole parish were taken as the borough, it would be found lo contain more than 3,0C0 inhabitants. This statement hud been clearly made out and supported, which was a sufficient ground for leaving Buckingham out of the schedule A. With regard to Trnro, it certainly seemed that there had been an omission, und a memorial had been presented on the subject to the Secretary of Slate for the Home Department, to show that the number of persons iu thut place was not fairly stated in the population returns. Guild- ford was au instance lo the contrary. Nothing had been shown to prove the returns from that place were not correct. A petition, indeed, staled that one street had uot been included iu the population returns of 1821, but it was not stated in what part of the town that street was situated, nor what was the population of it in 1821. If no other facts were brought to light than thut stated iu Ihe petitjon, and uo memorial was presented lo the Secretary of State, it would be impossible in omit Guildford. He hoped that it would be Understood on what grounds he proposed to proceed in framing and rectifying the schedules. Me wished to give that notice, that any boroughs which could make out a fcase of having a population exceeding 2,000 in 1821 might do so. Willi regard lo boroughsaud parishes not having Ihe same limits, he only wished to follow one and the Same equitable rule lor all. li was impossible to distinguish all the peculiarities of the boroughs, but when Ihe parishes and the boroughs had the same name the whole parish was taken. There were one or two other points on which he wished to say a word or two. The whole bill had been considered by llis Majesty's govern- ment during the recess ; they had gone all through I lie bill, looking at the suggestions thrown out by those who were friendly to making an improvement iu the representation. With regard to the wording of the hill, considerable alterations had been made, but none lo alter the principle which the bill was proposed to carry into effect. In respect to three or four points of uo material importance as to the principle, but of importance as to the practice, there wotild be some alterations which he would explain to the House on Monday, the last time he should have to propose the bill to the consideration of the House; but there were three or four points connected with the notices which had been given of moving instructions to the committee, and which had been under the Consideration of the government, The first was, as to freemen, and Ihe right of voting conferred by birth or Servitude. On that point the government had come to a determination which he hoped would reconcile what was due to justice and equity With the principle of the bill. A more important point was; fhe number of nr- mbers of which the house was to consist. It was thought desirable by many persons who were favourable to Ihe principle of Ihe bill, that the members of the house should uot be reduced in number. That subject had been under the consideration of Ihe government, aud the government was persuaded, looking at the w iiole subject, und admitting that a great interest was felt in it, that the number ought not to be reduced. He was not prepared lo say thai this was of vital importance; but the feelings of many members of the house being favourable to the number remaining the same, the government had been induced lo relax its determination ou that point. The honourable aud gallant general had referred lo several details of the bill Willi which he had found fault. He did uot mean to answer those objections, but as he kneW the gallant general was iu favour of the principle Of the measure, he should be disposed lo listen attentively to his objections; at the same time, he must end by declaring, lhat as far us regarded the essentials of the bill, the government saw no reasftn to alter the bill— on the contrary, from all that passed since it was first brought iu— from all Ihe discussions which had taken place, the government was confirmed iu its view of the principle, and thought it calculated to strengthen fhe liberty and satisfy the hopes of the country. With respect to Hie proposition which had been made by an hon. barftnet to retain all the boroughs— all the roses aud violets, as they had been called, down lo the least worthy of fhem— that the government, of course, did not think worthy of consideration, tn conclusion, he would say, lhat Ihe information referred to by the noble lord, the member for Truro, would, he had no doubt, be such as would enable the house to do justice to all parties. Sir E. SUGDEN was not surprised at hearing these observations of the noble lord. They satisfied him that the government had brought forward this measure without due consideration. That the noble d now proposed to leave two boroughs out of his disfranchising schedule, confirmed the observation he had formerly made. The government, he was sure, had not sufficient accurate information to entitle it to proceed with such a measure. Then, again, the resolution to atfer the number of mem- bers from what was origfnally proposed, and to retain the whole number, altered ihe whole princi- ple of the bill. He disapproved very much of the addition already proposed for Ireland, and here were Irish members complaining that Ireland had uot enough. They said she was not well trealod, because she did not get as many new members as England ; but they forgot that England was to lose a great number of members. The relative propor- tions were folly considered at the Union, and their Ireland had ample justice done to her. Ireland, he considered not in a state to receive additional re- presentation, and he should oppose most strenuously any measure having that for its object. The government had stated that it would stand or fall by this bill; but now it was giving up one great principle of it, as lo the number of members. It now proposed lo retain the whole number of mem- bers, and lhat was giving way in a most important point. All these changes, and all that lie heard, satisfied him that the government had brought forward this measure without that due considera- tion which so great a measure deserved. The petition was then brought up and read. On the question that it be laid on the table, General GASCOYNE, in explanation, said, tie had been always a friend lo reform. He had voted on all occasions for a moderate reform, but he was opposed to Ihe measures of the present government in their attempt to accomplish that object; and he conhl certainly not go so far as the wild and extravagant schemes of the member for Middlesex would carry them. He thought Ihe bill gave a reform much too extravagant and dangerous, and therefore he opposed it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in explaining his former observations, denied lhat anything which had fallen from him could hear the construction lhat govern- ment had the slightest intention to abandon any part of Ihe principle of the bill. What he had said was this: if he found, when the bill was in com- mittee, the feeling of Ihe house and the country to be in favour of retaining the whole number of its members, he certainly should leave that question open for consideration ; but he had at the same time distinctly declared, that government were determined not to alter either the schedule A. or the schedule B. in any manner which could in the slightest degree compromise the principle of the measure which lliey had submitted to the house. With regard lo what the gallant general had said on the subject of the relative proportions of the different parts of the empire, lie ( Lord John Russell) certainly never understood, thut the union, either with Scotland or Ireland, settled them in a manner which was never afterwards to undergo the least alteration. He believed, too, that there was no compact between the two countries, that there should be such a positive proportion as lhat which some honourable members asserted. On the con. trary, if they were to pass any law, which would declare Ihe proportion fixed by it lo be irrevocable, he thought it was clear that they would be fixing a proportion of that kind for the very first time. Au honourable member had referred to the union with Scotland. Now it was remarkable, that when the Scotch and English commissioners met to settle the question of the number of members to be returned for that country, the Scotch commissioners demanded filly members. The English proposed thirty- eight; and Ihe present number of forty- five was under- stood to be a kind of compromise between them. It was never held, however, that the number of either Scotch or Irish members might not be changed, or lhat the proportion was fixed irre- vocably beyond the power of the legislature to alter it. Mr. O'CONNELL observed that the proportions were not irrevocable; and if the learned member for WeymouHi ( Sir E. Sngd8ir) had taken the trouble to look into Ihe Act ofUuion with Ireland, he would have found that the number of resprcscntatives then given to lhat country were fixed solely until parliament might otherwise determine. The gallant general ( Gascoyne), who pretended to be a friend of Ireland, was not, however, disposed to give her back anything in return for her connexion with England. He refused to alter the representation of Ireland, if it was done at the expense of England. But then the gallant general forgot there was a union between the two countries. Did he not know that they were a united people ; and if so, why was Ireland not to obtain an addition to her representatives as well as Yorkshire. If the Union was good for anything— if it was not more in name than in reality, why make a difference between Ire. land and Yorkshire? The gallant general liked England. He ( Mr. O'Connell) liked Ireland better than England; and why, therefore, should lie not desire lhat Ireland should have representatives at Ihe expense of England ? The noble lord ( Russell) standard of representation, for he had iu the course of that evening, invited the boroughs threatened with disfranchisement, to come forward and justify their claims to be allowed to retain their members. Why, then, was the population of Ireland to be deprived of the same advantages? But then came Ihe question of property. The English made Ire- land poor, and then the} turned on her, and declared her not to be entitled to representatives because she Was poor. All the misfortunes of Ireland were, in his opinion, to be attributed to her not possessing a sufficient number of representatives in that house to take care of her interests. po Sir E. SUGDEN, in explanation, said, l| e had always contended for the identity of interests be- tween England and Ireland, aud challenged any member to name the time when he had argued otherwise. Mr. G. BANKS begged to ask the noble lord if he adhered to his original intention of going into a committee on the Reform Bill on Monday next ? After the announcement made that evening, of which he ( Mr. Banks) did not complain, that the boroughs threatened with disfranchisement might come forward to defend themselves, and prove their title to be exempted from the operation of the bill, he thought it would be but justice to allow them a little time to avail themselves of this change in the determination of the government. It was indeed a subject of just complaint that the plan of the noble lord had been kept so secret; but after positively announcing that certain boroughs must be dis- franchised, it would be very inconvenient to call on theni to defend themselves now, unless time was allowed. . He concluded by repeating his question. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said lhat hou. members had mistaken what fell from him, when they supposed that he had given au invitation to the boroughs to come forward and defend themselves. On the con- trary, the course of the government had been from the first, iu his opinion, both plain and clear. They had taken Hie population returns of a certain period as the foundation of their calculation ; but, as it was stated that these returns were not exclusively correct, his Majesty's government adopted the sug- gestion of the right hon. baronet ( Sir K. Peel), and moved for amended returns, stating at the same time, that if the inhabitants of any borough had ground of complaint, they could petition that house on the subject. This was all the assistance govern- ment hud rendered to them, and all that it was their intention to give. They had acted, as they conceiv- ed, with perfect fairness, aud they were resolved lo adhere to the principle of the bill when it was brought into committee on Monday. After a few words from Lord Encombe, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET expressed his satis- faction to hear, lhat government had abandoned their intention of adhering rigidly to all the pro- visions of the bill. He rose to give notice, that when the house went into committee, he should move that members be given to certain towns in the coUnty of Lincoln. Sir C. FORBES rose to express again his con- demnation of the Reform Bill, which had set Scot- laud iu a flame from one end to the other. The honourable member near him ( Mr. Hume) who advocated that bill, had been received with illumin- ations: but what was the consequence ? Riots and destruction of property to the amount of £ 20,000. He denied that the respectable portion of the people of Scotland were friendly to the Reform Bill. The class most anxious for reform was not even the £ 10 freeholders, but a class of men much beneath them. He had in his hand a petition, which was now in the course of signature in Scotiand, that would show the nature of fhe opinions held by those persons, and the reform they required. That petition showed that universal suffrage and vote by ballot, was tlieir object; and among oilier things they prayed, that they might not be called on to pay any more taxes ; and, when summoned to serve iu the tnilitia, tljat they may once a year be at liberty to elect their own officers, both commissioned aud non- conimis- sioned, by ballot. He hoped, for the sake of Eng- land, of Europe, and the world, that the bill would not pass. He had heard a good deal of Ihe way in which petitions in favour of reform had been got up. Boys were stationed at the doors to invite people to sign ; and promises of the most deceitful kind were held out to those who were asked to favour reform. One man having inquired what good reform would do, before he signed, he was told to walk in, and put his name down ; for it would give him whiskey for nothing, clothes aud meat would be got for a trifle, and all men would then be equal. This was their idea of reform, and although the Scotch were a people not easily roused, yet, now that they were up, those who had raised the storm would find it difficult to quell it. He believed that there was not one member out of every ten in Ihe house on the night the bill was introduced, who did not think it a joke. Many, he repeated, thought the government were putting a practical joke on them, as it was evident from the laughter with which it was received. He regretted much that they had not then met it more seriously, for if they had grappled with it at once, it would have long since been thrown out. He had the satisfaction of having said " No" to it in all its stages, and lie was afraid the new bill which the noble lord promised to introduce on Monday must be much altered before he could say " Yes" to it. Mr. IIUME said, nothing amused him more than the manner iu which the opponents of the bill changed the course of their position. The gallant general ( Gascoyne) and the learned member for Weymouth ( Sugden) had all along complained that the ministers pertinaciously adhered even to the defects of the bill, and now lhat they came forward with a proposition for remedying the few defects which were to be found in it, hon. members found fault with the change of the original determination. Willi respect to what had fallen from the honourable baronet ( Sir C. Forbes), on the subject of public opiuion in Scotland, he thought that the spirit which was visible there proceeded from satisfaction, and not from discontent. It was true that a few win- dows had been broken, but he believed they were broken by the anti- reformers. One person, a rela- tion of an hou. gentleman not supposed to be friendly to Ihe bill, had been fined for breaking windows, lie believed the reformers never broke windows, and therefore he was disposed to set down the breakage of the glass to the anti- reformers. He was satisfied, and the hon. baronet might rest satis- fied, there was nothing mischievous in the intentions of the rioters of Dundee or Edinburgh, and fhat they were as little disposed to produce any serious commotion as the inhabitants of London itself. Colonel SIBTIIOIIP did uot wish to detain the house for many minutes, but he could not refrain from joining his honourable friend ( Sir C. Forbes) iu congratulating the house— he meant those with w hom he had the honour to vote on a pVecHding night— as well as the country at large, on the de- clarations that had fallen from the noble lord ( John Russell), which placed the bill of the noble lord in a very different dress, and one of much more pleasing and becoming colour, than the one which it had before assumed aud decked itself out in. If he ( Colonel Sibthorp) recollected right, and he took down the words of the noble lord, that noble lord had said that if any material alteration were made in the bill proposed, it would renderthe bill wholly inefficient. He believed he was correct as to the words. Now, however, the declaration of the noble lord amounted to a proposition to give up the point as to the reduction of the numbers of members in the house. Whether that was a material alteration or not he would leave to hon. members to form their opinion after stating his own, and that was, lhat it was a very material one. Whether that would nullify its efficiency in the eyes of the sup- porters of the bill time would show. This was net all. There was to be a revision of the errors ( many and great indeed) that had crept in, and in truth had gone abroad, as to Ihe population returns, which would of course affect cities and boroughs and indeed every populous place. We naturally looked at those more at home, and he ( Col. Sibthofp) instanced one ( Grimsby) in the return before hiui returned at 3,064, and consequently, without any conviction of guilt, deprived of one of its members. Now, by a census, which it appeared by the public prints, was within a few weeks taken, it was found to be 4,000. It was very probable some accouche- ment might have subsequently taken place, and one little bantling given by the number four thousand and one, a right to the retaining of two members of parliament. This would be the case no doubt with many others, and it was to be lamented. These errors, and no doubt many others, had gone forth, and which, if due time had been given for Ihe due framing of so important a bill ere so important a have been revised, corrected, and, if necessary, the great addenda made, before it went forth, it might have saved many members much trouble aud the people much dissatisfaction. He had voted against the proposed bill because he considered it an inva- sion of the rights of the people. He professed to be a reformer, but would ever vote against injustice and oppression. He did not regret the vote he had given : he did it from conscientious feeling, though he was aware it caused great dissatisfaction to some. The bill was not known; the bill was ill concocted, bad iu machinery, and would be so in practice. He assured the noble lord that right glad should he be could he witness a measure of reform, of which he ever saw much need, in the house and out of the house; that would be sound, safe, of service to the people, and work to good aud a better system. The present would not in its proposed form. If it ap- peared such as would be for the public welfare he would readily and heartily support it. Mr. K. DOUGLAS believed that the noble lord would not have excited so strong a feeling oil the subject of the bill if he had not insisted on main- taining inviolate every one of its provisions. The commotion which it had excited iu Scotland, was, however, both general and powerful, and would have, he was afraid, very inconvenicut conse- quences. Mr. HUNT had lately held much correspondence witli the people; and visited some of the most popu- lous districts of ( he country, and he could say, without fear of contradiction", that the Reform Bill was not grateful to the majority of its inhabitants. The bill gave the franchise to some hundred thou- sands, but it left seven millions unrepresented. He had not met with one person left out of the bill, and deprived of the power to vote, who did not dislike the bill. That was surely very natural. Nor had he met with one person included ill the bill who objected to it. That was very natural too. He understood all these cheers, coming from that quar- ter. He repeated that the bill was not agreeable to the people, but he hoped it would pass, because it was au inroad— au inroad ou that accursed system which every thinking man admitted had been the cause of their distresses. The people were at first favourable to the bill; but he had had au opportu- nity since of learning their sentiments, aud out of two hundred thousand persons whom he had seen at various times, he believed there was but one who did not feel that they had been deluded by the bill. They had suffered under a delusion at first with respect to the bill. The people had thought that they would get something that would be better for themselves. But they had asked would they get food cheaper, clothes cheaper? They had asked, would they be compelled to labour less ? And when they found that in all these things there would be no change, and that they would in fact gain nothing, how could they be favourable to the bill. He had asked Ihe great mass of his constituents whether, as they were not to have the elective franchise themselves, they were satisfied at the delegation of the right to the class immediately above them - the little shopkeepers and others of the same descrip- tion ? Their answer was, no; they should prefer gentlemen. He had received a deputation to- day from the Spitalfields weavers, whose opinions were similar. Colonel DAVIES characterised the speech of the lion, member for Preston ns one of the most extra- ordinary he had ever heard. As a proof of this, the hon. members who were opposed to the bill were all congratulating themselves upon it, and declaring that it was the best speech that had been made on their side of the question. The hon. gentleman said that the people of England were recovering from their delusion. He ( Colonel Davics) hoped the people of Preston would soon recover from theirs. They thought that they were sending a reformer to the house ; whereas the hon. gentleman had proved him- self to be the most bitter enemy of reform. The honourable gentleman said that the people of Preston wished for cheaper bread, and meat, and clothes. If he ( Colonel Davies) did not think that reform must have the effect of rendering those necessaries of life cheaper, he would not vote for it. Retrenchment of the public expenditure and diminution of taxation must be the inevitable consequences of reform. It would be impossible for any administration, with a reformed parliament, to remain in place six months, unless they adopted measures of extensive retrench- ment. The honourable member for Preston had said that the opinions of the people of England had greatly changed with respect to the Reform Bill. He begged most flatly, but not discourteously, to con tradict him. He did not know what might be the case at Preston, but he knew that at many other places iu England there were thousands of persons, whose franchise the bill would destroy, but who were quite willing to make that sacrifice in consideration of the general benefit. What the honourable member for Preston meant he did not exactly know. Did he mean that they were to go on from bad to worse, until they got the whole extent of universal suffrage and ballot, and until a tremendous convulsion was pro- duced iu the country ? The hon. member had done more injury to the bill in progress than any man the most hostile to reform could have possibly accom plished. A Member, whose name we could not learn, said that with one or two exceptions, the counties of Scot- land disapproved of the proposed measure. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. On the motion that it be printed, Mr. HUNT said, he had be. n denounced by a gallant colonel as one of the worst enemies of reform. The gallant officer, however, had not ventured to deny one of his assertions. He had never disguised his sentiments. He was a reformer, but the particular measure before the house did not come up to his idea of reform. He did not accuse his Majesty's ministers of having deluded the country, by holding out expecta. tions that their Reform Bill would make bread and clothing cheap ; but if they had not, others had The people had been deluded, but they had discovered their error upon reflection, and would he deluded no longer. If the measure was to be what the noble lord opposite ( Lord J Russell) said it should be, he then was an enemy to the measure. Sir C. FORBES said, that Edinburgh and Dundee were not the only places in Scotland where evil con- sequences had ensued from the introduction of the Reform Bill. Much mischief had likewise been done in Perth and Glasgow, in the latter of which places the mob went so far as to hoist the tri- coloured flag. Lord MAHON wished to know whether, if any pro- position should be made to preserve the relative proportion of the representatives of England, Ireland, and Scotland, as it now stood, ministers would con- sider that it involved a violation of the principle of the hill ? No answer was given to this question. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The CHANCELLOR or THE EXCHEQUER and Mr. STANLEY announced, that in case of government, being compelled, by a division, to make the number of representatives as great as at present, after they had fixed on what they considered a fit number, it would be their intention to give these additional members to populous towns and counties. It was not their intention, however, to do this without being compelled by a vote of the House, and, if additional members were to be given to either of the three king, doms, they would be principally given to England. Sir E. SUGDEN said the object of the Ministers was clearly to divide the manufacturing interest altogether from the landed interest. As the constitution now stood, persons had votes for towns and counties. As soon as the bill passed the agricultural interest would be altogether cut off from the manufacturing interest; and the proposition for still further adding to the representation of populous towns was evidently brought forward to excite a clamour in those places in behalf of the Ministry. me expense vi ijiigiauu : mc hwuic . uiu ymipot../ p. — —,— ...... .. v,.. „.„ ov LU^ U, lalll a seemed ill some cases to take population us his change had gone forth— if it had been suffered to FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. EXTRACTS EROM AN UNPUBLISHED PAMPHLET, BY W. S. OF NEWPORT, SALOP. The Reform Rill considered in Reference to the Deliberative Capacity of the House of Commons, and the Stability of our National Institutions. To represent the proposed measure of reform as a restoration of the constitution to its original state, is mere technical argument and special pleading— miserable and worthless trifling upon a question that ought to he considered, not according lo the fictions of theory, but according to the truth of things. Theory supposes the three branches of the legis- lature to be equal powers, balancing and controuling each other. The truth is, that the House of Com- mons, from having been the least important, is he come incomparably the most important branch. The one House of Parliament is adorned with the splendour, tbe other armed with the power of state. Like the two oaks by which Pompey and Ciesar were compared and contrasted: the one has the ornamental decora- tion and venerable majesty, the other the firmly- rooted and effective strength. The House of Peers is illustrious, majestic, and venerable; yet, though such it be, Collision with the Commons would prostrate it to the earth, and shiver it to fragments. If the House of Commons be balanced at all, it must be self- balanced. Its balance must be in its internal consti- tution. Any other balancc may be a history, a theory, or n fiction ; it is nothing which has real and present existence. In the lower House of Parliament resides tile efficient sovereignty of the kingdom. It cannot hut have a giant's strength, renewing as often as it touches the ground ; but whether it shall or shall not use it like a giant, whether its exertion of its great might shall be fair and temperate, or extreme and tyrannous, will probably depend upon its com- position being duly tempered by a large variety and diversity of interests aud opinions. The House of Commons ought to he a mirror of the whole public mind, representing every different national interest, and every variety of national senti- ment, in a nearly corresponding proportion. A fatal defect of the present reform hill is, that by its near approach to uniformity of elective suffrage, it is cal- culated in a great degree fo annihilate the repre- s ntation of the opinions which may be in a minority at the period of a general election ; that it is calcu- lated to produce a Parliament composed of members having nearly all one untertipeted, unmitigated bias, and many of them bound by the same positive and precise pledges; that it is calculated to cause the prevailing voice without to be the only voice within, not only overbearing opposition, but silencing effectual discussion, and thus, by substituting mere will for counsel, and power for reason, to lead to the most pernicious and perilous extremes of legislation, and banish from the measures of government that moder- ation which is, perhaps, the most important and ex- cellent quality which they can posses^. Let it be supposed that the breath of public opinion ought to sweep every close Borough from the lace of our political system; let it be supposed that they had grievous faults which must be grievously answered for by their utter extinction. Let the i: l which they did perish with them, but let the good that they did live after them. If they were low and faulty means for the attainment of high and glorious ends, let the same ends be wrought by purer and nobler means. The different professions and great interests might be allowed a direct opportunity of returning to Parlia- ment their most illustrious ornaments and most en- lightened advocates. This might not harmonise with antiquated theory, but it would work admirably in practice : the members for the Universities should he increased : the Inns of Law in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, the Stock Exchange, & c. should return member*. A wholesome constitution of the House of Commons will be such as will afford reasonable security that tlie just interest of no class will be sacrificed to the inflamed passions and interested cupidity of other classes. It ought to be so variously constituted as to afford the best possible security that ort every great question there should be a sufficient number of members comparatively neutral and unpledged, to determine the decision in favour of reason and justice. This is the balance of the constitution which is in- comparably more important than any other. A party and a class ought to prevail so far, and only so far, as they have truth and reason on their side. Legislation ought to be something better than a trial of strength between contending interests in which the weaker will be sacrificed. I was never a believer in the enormous faith of many made for one, nor in the right divine of kings to govern wrong ; nor do I acknowledge any right in multitudes, however nu- merous, to enact any thing unreasonable and unjust. ' Vhat is right and reasonable, what is wise and just, ught to be paramount alike to the will of prince, peer, or people. If to comply with the will of the majority be the chief end of legislation, a sufficient number of clerks to count signatures may supersede those deliberative functions of Parliament, of which it is probable that the times which are approaching will urgently demand the best and most perfect exer- cise. The peace and contentment of the state will require a much larger proportion of neutral members to arbitrate between the commercial and landed inter- ests than this bill provides. To supply such a third party was perhaps the highest merit of the Boroughs. So far as fhe Protestant church is concerned, the proposed reform bill is one of the most perilous possi- ble, as it gives an overwhelming voice in the repre- sentation to that class which is most powerfully acted upon by the daily press. If when this bill is passed the enemies of the church apply sufficient funds to open a general and sustained attack upon it, that venerable and venerated edifice will be in imminent peril. If not in their first attempt, yet at the period of some general election they might raise such a de- gree of excitement as to procure the return of so large a number of determined enemies to the chureh as to overbear opposition. The stability of our constitu- tion, therefore, requires not only that a safe Parlia- ment should be generally returned, but that it should be always so : lor by one unfortunate House of Com- mons they might be all changed into ruinous heaps. It is probable that the first object of hostility will he the Church of Ireland. If it falls, the precedent will go far to destroy the Church of England. The Church of England being sacrified as the next victim, the fatal precedent might be still more powerfully pleaded. The weaker and the weaker victim might be successively assailed, till the whole frame of society be dissolved ; and it shall be found, by disastrous experience, to be no less true in political changes than in the ordinary changes of life, " Tua res agitnr paries cum proximus ardet," " Your neighbour's burning mansion perils yours.' When the success of the reform bill shall have stigmatised all former Parliaments as not having been legitimate representatives of the nation, and therefore not lawful guardians of the public purse, it may be plausibly argued that they had no valid authority to contract an enormous public debt, and that the obligation therefore is not binding on the nation ; nor would the title of the landed interest be considered so perfect, but that in it the wolf of rapacity could find a flaw fo give some colourable pretence for making society one scene of confusion and anarchy, spoliation and slaughter. When the rights of long possession cease to be respected, it may be found that there is a flaw in almost every title, " Eheu quam teinere in nosmet legem sancimus " iniquam " " To our own ruin we thus sanction wrong." If the balance of the constitution be once lost by too large and unsafe popular concessions, these can never be recalled, the balance can never he restored. The rights which democracy has once acquired, are ever after appealed to as a charter of inviolable sanctity. Diniocracy is a flood which has no return- ing tide ; its rush is still onward and onward ; its un- varied cry, Give, give ! Folly may fling the shield wantonly away, the recovery of which cannot he achieved by wisdom's noblest efforts. Good and evil have a very different rate of growth: " Facilis descensus Averni." The voice of the people ought to be heard and loudly heard in the House of Commons, but it ought not to be armed there with an irresistible omnipotence. The voice of reason, and wisdom, and justice ought to speak there with still higher suasion and more potent authority. The House of Commons ought to be something moie than a mere echo of the popular voice and a mere organ of the popular will; it will be a miserable and degraded thing when the chief discussion within shall be concerning the plurality of voices without, and the ordinary conclusive appeal— " Count signatures, count signatures." An nndue desire of popular applause is one of the most seducing snares and powerful temptations which can endanger political morality ; and one of the greatest curses that can befal a country is for public measures to become not questions of right and wrong, but of popularity and unpopularity. There is little to choose between the minion of a despot and the minion of a mob— between him who surrenders his judgment and sacri- fices his conscience to the will of a single ruler, and him who makes the same unrighteous sacrifice to the tyranny of numbers, in the resisting of which the highest heroism of integrity may be evinced. The Ministry which, bribed to a violent stretch of legislation by an obvious and immense party advan- tage, by an opportunity of revenging their long exclusion from power, and by making secure provision against its recurrence, and bears down parliamentary opposition by the violence of external clamour, may discover, when it is too late, the peril of the pre- cedent ; it may discover that to lay the spirit of evil requires the spell of a mightier enchantment than that by which it was evoked. Perhaps no principle has more practical sophistry, and tends more effectually to delude the understand- ing, than the assumption that the opposite of wrong- is necessarily right: and yet that is the only argument that has been offered by the supporters of the bill. A revolution is not the less a revolution for being called by the soft appellation of reform. The pro- posed bill is not an apparent but a re. il revolution ; a revolution not in Ihe nominal hut in the virtual' sovereignty of the kingdom ; for its peril is not merely that it is a momentous innovation in our representative system, but much more so in that it is a partial and inconsistent change ; that so far from preserving the balance while it changes the weights, it at once increases the pressure and weakens the sustaining power : whereas the chief end of repre- sentation is temperate and impartial government: and the genuine excellence of our constitution, our national concord and happiness, and the competency of Parliament to preside over every interest of the empire, domestic and colonial, is vitally involved in the representative character of the House of Com- mons being so tempered by the variety of its com- position and the nice adjustment of its constituent parts, as not to destroy the fair aud efficient exercise of its deliberative capacity. COUNSEL AND ATTORNEYS. ( ( From the Morning Herald. J At the Quarter Sessions held at Woodbridge, Suf- folk, on Wednesday, the 6th inst. the following novel occurrence took place, the bench being unusually full of magistrates:— Before any of the appeals were called, Mr. Wood, jun. a solicitor at Woodbridge, rose to claim the in- dulgence of the court, and stated that he was placed in a very unpleasant and unexpected situation He had two short briefs, with each of which he had offered Mr. Prendergast a fee of two guineas, who refused both unless lie would pay a fee of three guineas with each brief. Mr. Wood then stated he had made a similar offer to Mr. Collyer ( another counsel present), who had also refused to accept the briefs with such fees, alleging that as thej had been refused by Mr. Prendergast, he could not, as junior counsel to Mr. Prendergast, underbid him. That he, Mr. Wood, had never, during the course of fourteen years' practice, met with a similar refusal. The court then asked Mr. Wood if he had offered the usual fee, when he produced seven briefs, upon each of which a fee of two guineas had been paid to different counsel upon appeals In this court at former sesssions; and he, Mr. Wood, thought he should be doing injustice to ttie two parishes for which he was concerned unless lie mentioned these facts to the court; and added that, if Mr. Prendergast could demand a fee of three guineas, he might hereafter demand a fee of ten, and there would be no limit to such demands. Mr- Porter, a solicitor at Ipswich, said he was similarly situated. Mr. Prendergast then rose, and said that he did not wish to insult the Court, the jury, or the audience in general, with any private business between Mr. Wood and himself, and he would not occupy their time, as he thought they had nothing to- do With what passed between counsel and attorneys. The Couft, without hearing Mr. Wood in reply, asked him whether he did not, under the circum- stances he stated, apply fot leaVe to conduct his appeal without counsel ? Mr. Wood stated that Certainly was the object of his application ; and tlie court, after retiring to consider it, returned, and requested Mr. Wood to tender Mr. Prendergast, in open court, the usual fee of two guineas upon each brief, which he did, and afterwards tendered the same to Mr. Collyer, who also refused it, upon the same ground as he had done before ; and on their refusal the chairman said it was the unanimous opinion of the court that Mr. Wood should himself be allowed to plead in both the appeals. UNEQUALLED CHANGE RINGING.— On Easter Monday, a novel and truly astonishing peal of grand- sire triples was rung at Painswick, by the youths of that town, in the space of two hours and fifty- three minutes, containing 5040 changes, having 3G0 calls, namely, 150 bobs, 190 doubles, and 20 singles. This peal, which was composed and most ably conducted by Mr. William Estcourt, of that place, stands un- equalled in the annals of Change Ringing, both for its novelty and intricate composition; and gives ample proof of the ability of the composer, and re- flects great credit on the company, for the masterly style in which the bells were rung and brought round. A fortunate landlady, not a hundred miles from Workington, when cleaning the feathers of a bed which she had recently purchased, discovered a con. sidcrable sum of money in Bank of England notes, supposed to have been secreted there by some former possessor, of saving habits.— Cumberland Pacquet. The appointment of Lieut. Gen. Sir W. Houston to the Lieutenant Governorship of Gibraltar, is in pu>- suance of a new regulation limiting the term for tlie employment of military officers as Governors abroad to a period of six years. Sir William relieves that distinguished veteran, Gen. Sir George Don, who has held the command of Gibraltar for the last seventeen years. Sir George is expected in this country in the course of fhe summer: and it is a singular fact that this gallant old officer, who is now nearly eighty years of age, returns home, after having been in actual em- ployment sixty- two years without any interval, a cir- cumstance which has no parallel in the records of the service of any general whose name is now to be found in the English army list. It is quite certain that half- sovereigns are no longer issued at the Bank of England, and they are disappearing so fast from circulation that few of the private bankers have any in their possession. The sole motive for this appears to be that of bringing into circulation a larger amount of silver coin, with which the Bank is at present overstocked in a very extraordinary degree. Of this there seems, from whatever cause, to be far more than the wants of the country require ; and the suspicion which was very general some months ago, of an illicit coinage for the sake of the profit attached to it, begins again to be expressed. What is meanf, it is hardly necessary to say, is a coinage in silver of equal purity with that used at the Mint, but which still yields a profit to those who arc inclined to risk detection, far greater than any common commercial transaction, and at- tended with no degree of uncertainty. The seignor- age, it is clear, is much too high, and has, at all events, brought back into circulation here all that supply sent out for the use of the colonies. Tlie subject must, it is conceived, force itself on the early consideration of parliament.— Times. CURE OF LOCK JAW.- The following case is given in a periodical work on medicine :— For the following interesting case of locked jaw we are indebted to Mr. Joy, an experienced and scientific surgeon, of Great Massingham, in the county of Norfolk. A chad- cut- ter, about 12 years ago, apparently in good health at the time that he was exercising his occupation, so injured one of his fingers as to render immediate am- putation of it at the first phalanx necessary. Although the wound went on very favourably, locked jaw came on when it was nearly healed. Notwithstanding the usual remedies, as opium in large doses , mercury, musk, and other antispasmodics, were actively em- ployed on the first appearance of the disease, the spasms increased in violence, and extended to the muscles of the back, producing the convulsive con- tractions of the muscles termed opisthotonos. The antispasmodics and warm bath having totally failed to aft'ord the slightest relief, after pushing them to the fullest extent for ten days, Mr. Joy determined to give the muriated tincture of iron a trial. He accordingly ordered ten drops to be administered every hour in a little water, which the loss of a few teeth allowed of without much difficulty. After continuing this medi- cine 24 hours, the spasmodic affection of the muscles was evidently much diminished. The following day he was nearly free from pain. The medicine was con- tinued in the same quantity and at the same intervals, and the disease so rapidly decreased in violence, evi- dently under its influence, that he was perfectly well in the course of a few days.
