It is totally different from all the usual promises . of a Puff, when the proprietors earnestly request that all ihose who are amicled with diseased Eye- lids, whether pro- ceeding from eruptions, inflammation, or any oilier cause, will make a trial of ibis Ointment.; for so assured are they of its efficacy, ( though its application is unattended with paiii) that they hove instructed their Agents, in any case of failure, afler fair trial, to return the price of the Ointment. The preparers earnestly request all persons afflicted with weak Eyes, to make a trial of this Ointment, for it is perfectly harmless; aud il is well known lo the Medical Profession that the greater number of the diseases of the Eye proceed, though not apparently, fi on 1 affections of the Eye- lid.

The above Property is beautifully situated, in a fer- tile and sporting Part of the Country, which abounds with Gairie. The Neighbourhood is respectable, the Roads are good, and the Property is distant from Ever since tlie lafe turn- out of, colliers, and the advance of wages consequent. thereupon, the propri- etors of coal- works, in the neighbourhood of Oldham, more especially, have found tbe management of { heir concerns taken entirely out of thcif- hands of thoie of their agents, ai) d transferred to ( he committee of Ihe Colliers'. Union, which sits. every day at tlie sigh of the Horse Shoe,, at Bardsley, and is by the workhieu styled their « hoard." If at any time extra quanti- ties of coal have been required for the fiiljilinent of orders or other causes, the men, when apprised of il, have replied, that they would inform "- the board," or" hear what the board, said about it:'" and if' tiiis board" signified its assent, the coal was supplied; if not, it was Withheld. Messrs. Barker, Evans, and Co. of Edge- lane, have been particularly incommoded by this sort of practice, the mep having, refused to work more than " three quarters shift," ( a shift is a day of about eight hours,) and frequently tliey have given over nt " half shift," or, four hours; in con sequence. of which, numbers of persons who wotihl have taken coal from the concern, have not beeii supplied, and have gone elsewhere. By the hist turn out, " fhe board" fixed the rate of wages, or nearly so; since that « the board" has directed what quantity, of coal should be got; " the board" has discharged old and meritorious servants, and has ap- pointed others iii their place, whether ihe proprietors approved of them or not; " the board," in fact, has been the master, whilst those who should have exer- cised authority qver the works have be^ n released from all care and responsibility, save that of finding1 all monies, and making gooel all losses. This state of things, as may naturally lie supposed, could not long continue, and last week all masters in the vicinity of Oldham, with one or two exceptions, camc to a determination, to abolish a dictation which was hurtful and discreditable to both parties. In pursu- ance of such resolution, the rtien were served with notices on Saturday last, " That unless they gave up Iheir Union wilhin fourteen days from that, ( late, their services would no longer he required ; anil that if any of them wished to Continue at work, thev might do so, upon signing a written agreement to renounce and give lip their connection with the Union." Since this notice was issued, the colliers belonging to Messrs. Barker, Evans, and Co. have worked only half time : ( hose at Hole Bottom colliery, belonging fo Messrs Lees, Jones, and Co. began the same system ;. but,' oh Wednesday morning, they were informed by the manager, that unless they worked either three ( j'uarters, or the full time, tbey- would not be suffered to work at all; on hearing which they quitted the ground. Of three pits be- longing to Lees, Jones, and Co. at Copster Hill, One is working full time, and two three quarters time; at Low Side, the men gave over working on Wednesday 5 and at Wcrneth, the property of Edward Lees, Esq. no noticc respecting tbe Union has been, or will be, given lo the men. The works at Hunt Ijine continue in full operation, an abundarice of hands having offered themselves who could not be employed. At present about thirty old colliers are at work ; anil the remainder of the work is performed by weavers. Until Thursday week, ihe Union kept a guard upon this place; which, since that day, has been discon- tinued, and the new hands now pass and repass with- out experiencing molestation. This is, perhaps-, the consequence of the convictions which took place before Ibe magistrates at Oldham, when two of fhe colliers w£ rc, sentenced to imprisonment iii the New Bailey.— Manchester Guardian', According to a Parliamentary Return, just printed; there are 5,419 brewers in England, 182 in Scotland, and 207 in Ireland— total, 5,808.

' AWFUL VISITATION.— On the ISth nit. as John Ranson, blacksmith, of North Dalton, was returning from Beverley, bis hat having been blown off rieaf Middleton, he called to the waggoner, in whose ' waggon he was riding, to stop. The latter, as u'suaU was riding upon ( ine of the shaft horses, and dis- mounted upon the pole of the waggon to inquire what was amiss; the horses immediately veering to the offside, where there is a descent from* the road toi the hedge, the waggon was upset, and the unfortunate* blacksmith instantaneously killed on the spot. From an account which a woman gives, who wad in the waggon at the time, there wa9 no blame attached to the waggoner. There are some circumstances con- nected with this awful visitation which oitght not trt he passed ovef in silence. The woniari who was in the waggon escaped almost miraculously. She hail ( he presence of tnind to Catch hold of the ascending side, and threw herself in the opposite direction to that in which the vehicle was falling, arid by this means escaped any injury. It seems, that the unfor- tunate man, but a few days before, in the hearing of1 audible witnesses, had wished himself in hell. He had also entered into a compact With a long standing pot- companion, that, when cither of them died, the survivor was to celebrate the event by a hard day'* drinking. Accordingly, the surviving bacchanalian set oft', ou the Sabbath mctrning, to Bayriton New lnri, and spent two days in beastly drunkenness. On hist return, he went to the chitrchyard hi which his quondam companion lies entombed, and throwing his withered arms about like the denuded, tree ih a tempest* Upbraided him for not having fulfilled the engagement which it seems they had actually made to spend Sunday, the 19th, at the said inriw The awful event was the subject of a discourse in the parish church 6f North Dalton, on Sunday last, by the Rev. T. Rankin, to a crowded audience.— York Paper. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. ^" BURSTING OF A STEAM- BOILPR—^ OU Thursday nighfj about half- past nine o'clock^ a dreadful accident occurred from the bursting of a steam- boiler^ at the works in progress at the new Custom- house, on the site of the Old Dock, Liverpool. It appears, that Mr. Tomkinson, the contractor for the stone- work, had caused a hew engine of five horse- power to be erected for the purpose of hoisting and lowering' the stones into their places. About the time men- tioned several of the men iu the works were assembled in the engine- house, opposite the bottom of Pool- lane^ anxious to try tiie strength of the new boiler ; but, unfortunately, in the hurry of the moment, they omitted or forgot to ydace the w eight on the balance, and, whilst they were standing round, thinking that the steam was not at ils height, the boiler burst with a tremendous ex- plosion aud blew up the whole building. One of the by- standerSj named John Price, the overlooker of the labourers in the works, was blown, at least, 30 yards from the spot, and killed instantaneously. He was an honest and industrious man,' atid has left a pregnant wife and a family of small children. Two other then were hurt, but it i- » hoped, m. t dangerously One of them was taken to the In firmary. Such was the tremendous force of the explosion, that the bricks and other fragments of the building were forced np Pool- lane as far as King- street, a distance of about 80 yards, and on ea'ch side tfs far as TratTord- strcet and South John- street. The strfeets were covered with the ruins, and a great niahy Windows in the neighbouring shops and warehouses' were broken by. them, ll is next to a thiraele that, Th so Crowded a thorough- fare, several persons were not killed by the missiles projected with such force in alt- directions j but none of the individuals passing at the time were dangerously hurt, although several received more or less injury. The gas lights in . all the shops a the neighbourhood were extinguished by the concussion of the atnio> p \ fcORSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. Nlr. ANIGHT complained that His Majesty's go- vernment had not thought proper to give any answer to a question put by the honourable member for II- chester. The question which he had asked Vvas,* what was the test of < disfratichi$ efoent according to schedule A? This question concerned a numerous class of that people about whom SO much was said hy the Other side of the House; # Ad he hoped, therefore, a definite and intelligible answer would be given to it. The question was simply this, whether population or nomination wSts the principle of the wHiedMes? ay e or no. How was it possible for that House to proceed \ Yith the business before it if his Majesty'sministers Would not answer a plain question ? Backed by an urtJisleuing. and pledged majority— C Lou ( I cheers, and dies of'.<* No, wo")— his Majesty's government might, within the walls of. that House, with safe and silent stoin, refuse to answer the fair and legitimate questions put to them by their oppo- nents- Let then the country know that the present government were unable or unwilling upon this great question to compete with their adversaries iq argu- ment, relying with Silent scorn upon their pledged majority, and avoiding the encounter upon all ques- tions of law and morality. If they had not been helped by the side ofthe House to which he belonged, he verily believed that the present bill would have been sent by acclamation into the House of Lords such a specimen Of blundering legislation as perhaps had never before met the view of the other House. — An honourable member opposite had told them that { tabulation was taken merely as an evidence of disqualification for the elective franchise. No man knew better than the hon. member who made the remark that there was a dffferfcn^ e between evidence and conclusive evident; arid lie should fike to knew Worn him whether lie meant 10 say that popu- lation was to he taken as conclusive evidence ? How, lie wished to know, was the question of nomination to be tried? The burgesses who were to be disfran- chised had a right to know that. For his part he had never yet heard it defined, and he did not know v hat it meant. He was himself one of the repre- sentatives of a borough enumerated in schedule A. (' Cheers from the ministerial benches, returned by the opposition. J He denied, totally denied, the fact tbat the borongh which he represented was a nomi- nation bordugh. ( Cheers, dud cried ( if iC No, no") Hon. members might' irisiniiate vHiat fhey pleasdd, but he was ready to maintain that he had as respect- able a constituency as any of the new boroughs to be created by this bill could possibly have. His con- stituency consisted of gentlemen of independent for- tune, yeomen possessing extensive tracts of land, surveyors, mechanics, artisans, and labourers, but all of them rhen in an independent state of life. This constituency retiifned himself and another, a country gentleman, Who had been for many years connected with the place. And why did they return them ? Because their principles were agreeable to their own, nnd no power of nomination existing upon the earth could, he was Convinced, ihdlite them to act other- wise than according to their feelings and principles. This place ( BishopY Castle) had been the scene of many as warm electioneering, conflicts as had ever taken place in the country. There were 30: 2 Voters, although 192 only voted at the last election. At the j> to" pe£ time he should ask that his constituents might have the opportunity of verifying these facts. The hon. and learned gentleman proceeded to refer fo a return of the amount of assessed taxes paid hy differ- ent places for the years 1828, 1829, and 1830. By this it appeared that Harwich, which was not in either schedule A or B, { laid only £ 5 or £ 6 more taxes than the borliugh of Helstdn, which was included in schedule B. The borough of Peterstield was in schedule A;- Malmeghury was in schedule B; yet Petersfield paid one- third more in taxes than IVIalmeshury. This' was a sample of the principle upon which these schedules proceeded. He would not longer detain the House, but he? could not sit down without repeating the question Already so often put without an answer having been given, viz. how Was nomination to be tried and proved to the satis- faction of that House ? Mf. C. FERCESSON, in answer to Ihe hon. and learned gentleman (> lr. Knight) begged to say that 21) 00 wai the nuriiber deemed Conclusive evidence against the borough which possessed Only that num- ber of inhabitants. Tile hfln. and learYied gentleman bad been pleased to ttrrti them an " uiilistening and pledged majority." He ( Mr. Fergusson) was not a pledged member; and if tile hon. and learned gent. ( Mr. Knight) was himself [ Sledged, he Could tell him that his pledges had not been made to his nominal constituents, bnt to some one else. It. was q- nitd new in the history of the country that Bishop's Castle was independent. He would ask the hon. and learned gentleman, as a test of Iiis independence; whether, if lie changed his opinion in the course of these debates, he Would be independent enough to vote according to ( hat Change. If he did, would he not hear from some noble lord, and sit no longer for Bishop's Castle? This" Was the evil which the bill designed to cut up by the roots. Mr. KNIGHT, in reply to the question of Ihe lion, gentleman, unequivocally answered that lie could not give a vote contrary to the opinions which brought him into Ihe House. He was as free as any member in F. nglartd. If conviction shoi'rl'd indufce Iiifn to change Ills tnlnd, rather than avoid that con- viction lie should resign his seat. Mr. CROkEft inquired at what time the population returns would lie presented to the House, and « hether evidence would be received in the committee regard- ing particular boroughs. Lord J RUSSELL replied that the returns were forthcoming; but that thc guide as to numbers in Ihe measure before Ihe House was llie census of 1821; and that a case might arise whicli would justify the bearing of evidence. Sir H. HARPINGE and Sir F. SUGDEN denied that Ministers confined the provisions of their bill to thc population returns of 1821; and maintained that there were several alterations which were in defiance of such returns. An extended desultory conversation ensued, occupying several hours, in the course of which the general principles of the measure were again discusgcd, and the conduct of particular indi- viduals observed upon. 1- ord A IT no It r, in allusion to some remarks that had fallen from Sir C. Wethcrell, said that the learned gentleman, with his great fluency of expression, had certainly the power of offering much delay to the passing of the bill; but the people of I'ngland would know how to value such conduct When a Com- mittee lasted more than one night, it, had always been customary to allow the Speaker to leave the chair without discussion. The greater part of the learned member's speech was applicable to the principle of the hill; the rest might have been offered in com- mittee. V\ hatever provocation had been offered to revert to the principle of the bill, he would not suffer bis patience to be exhausted, nor would, he hoped, liis lion friends. He declined entering into any fur- ther discussion. The House then went into Committee. Tbe read- ing of the first, or disfranchising clause, was next proposed; and the course that should be pursued in discussing it, engaged a great part of the remainder of the evening. It was eventually determined that the amendment, or opposition, should arise on the first word to which there was objection. Sir FOBERT FEET, accordingly objected to the word " each" in the clause declaring " that each of the boroughs named in schedule A," and lie moved that it be omitted. This Induced some animated discussion. Sir Robert said, he would not reply to recriminations, and he trusted his friends would also refrain. To facilitate discussion lie suggested that Ihe line of demarcation shonld be first decided upon, and that then all boroughs clearly below that mark should give rise to no division, all places bearing prima fade evidence of the contrary being, on the other hand, allowed a fair and lull examination. He trusted thev would go into the discussion wi'h good humour— that there would be no imputation as to motives, and that it would not be Considered loss of time to deliberate fully, when Ihe measure was of finch vast importance. On bringing up the report, and on the motion for the third reading of the bill, he should feel himself at liberty again lo object, and if necessary to divide the house on the general principles to which lie was as much opposed as ever. Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed his concurrence in tbe proposal of the Right Hon. Bart. The house then divided, when there appeareil — For the original question 290 Against it 193 Majority in favour of Ministers 97 The Chairmun then put the question that he do report progress with leave to sit again, which was carried. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. Lord KING expressed his opinion that the pro visions of thc bill introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury to prevent Ihe holding of pluralities by the clergy, were inadequate, and added that he should In- y upon their lordships* table a bill proposing that no bi nefice with a curc of souls should be held in cornmendarn, if of the Effinual value of more than £ 51: 6, and that no clergyman so holding a benefice of tipwards of that sum, Should be able to recover his tithes beyond that amount.— The BISHOP of LONDON regretted the introduction of the bill. in the ab- ence of, and as interfering with that brought forward by the Most Rev. Prelate alluded to, and as tending to introduce needless litigation in parishes. The same view of Ihe bill was also taken by the BISHOP of BRISTOL— Lord KING denied that the measure tended to encourage litigation, as it provided, that in cases referred to, on ( he tender of the slim of £ 500 to the rlerg\ » nan, the latter should be prevented from obtaining more.— The LUKE of WELLINGTON characterised the bill as a direct attack upon the pro- perty of the church, which in common with every olher kind of property it was necessary to protect. The bill was afterwards introduced, and read a first lime. The third reading ofthe bill to abolish certain oaths hitherto taken in thc Customs and Excise, was moved by the MARQUIS of LANSDOWNF, who stated that in one single department of the Customs ten thousand oaths had been taken in thc course of last year, and no less than twelve thousand during thc same period in one department of the Excise. The Noble Marquis observed, that the bill repealed eighty or ninety classes of oaths connected with the Customs, anil nearly thc same number attached to the Excise.— The BISHOP of LONDON felt it his duty, as a minister of religion, to express tbe pleasure he experienced iu seeing such a bill passed. The practice of taking oaths with reference to the most trivial matters had, be contended", a direct tendency to lessen', especially amongst the lower orders, tbe reverence which should always be attached to the Mfemiiity of taking an oath The Right Rev. Prelate also took the opportunity of expressing bis regret that it had become customary with magistrates to administer Voluntary oaths re- specting the sale of various articles of trade. Lord WYNFORD concurred in the observations made by the Bishop of London, and spoke decidedly as to the illegality of voluntary affidavits.— Lord KING sug- gested that the best way to prevent the administering of the oaths alluded to, woold be to abolish the fees paid upon such occasions.— The bill was then read a third time and passed. The LORD CHANCELLOR afterwards introduced his bill to amend tbe Bankruptcy Laws, which istlie same in substance as that brought forward by bis Lordship in thc last parliament, but with some im- provements in the details. Of these the Learned Lord stated Ihe most important Mi re, that the powers of the official assignees were more circumscribed, and those of the assignees appointed by the creditors more accurately defined. Tbe bill was read a first time, aud ordered to be printed, with ( he understanding that it would not be pressed to a discussion in the absence of the Lord Chief Justice and tbe Lord Chief Baron— The Lords Lieutenant of Ireland bill again underwent discussion, but its third reading was eventually deferred until Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. After the presentation of some petitions on various subjects, the house resolved itself, as early as six o'clock, into a Committee on the Reform Bill. In the first clause, enacting ft that the boroughs enumerated iu Schedule A shall in future cease to return members to serve in parliament,'' Sir ANDREW AGN EW moved as an amendment, that after the word " shall," there be inserted " have a share in the election of a member or members t'o serve in parliament, as shall be herein- after provided." This amendment, involving a new plan as a substitute for that of Ministers, gave rise to debate in which the whole question was again discussed, and in the course of which Mr. J. WF. Y- LAND, Mr. H. CARNEY, Mr. C. W. W. WYNN, Sir J MALCOLM, Mr. S. WO& TLEY, Mr. CROKER, Mr. A BARING, Sir R. PEEL, Mr. FRESHFIELD, Sir G. CLERK, and Sir R. TNGLIS decfared their intention of supporting the amendment. On the other hand it was resisted hy Mr. C. FERGUSSON, Lord ALTHORP, Alderman VISNAELES, the LORD ADVOCATE, Mr. D W. HARVEY, I/ ird JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. STANLEY, and Mr. CAMPBELL; and on a division rejected by 316 to 21 5. The first clause was then agreed to — The Chairman next proceeded to read the names of the boroughs in Schedule A which were to be dis- franchised, and said he should take the sense of the committee upon each of them. The boiough of " Aldeburgh, Suffolk," was the first named, and after a long and desultory conversation, it was allowed to stand part of the clause. It was then stated by Lord J. RussEIfc that he did not mean to proceed furth'e that night, but to resume ( he subject on Tuesday w hen fhe first word to he read from the schedule, and put to the vote, Would be " Appleby." Sir ROIIERT PEEL gaVe notice that, he should press a division as to the principle in the case of one of Ihe boroughs which clearly came within the line of 2000.— The h'Ouse having resumed, the Committee was ordered to sit again on Tuesday. LONDON^. SATURDAY. The following is an extract ofa letter just received front Paris, dated Thursday last :—" Wc have no news here to- day, which you will say is good news, as this capital has been free from excitement, and the people, though not altogether satisfied with Casiinir Perricr and the rest of the Ministers, shewing no dis- position to break the peace. I must however admit that strong fears are entertained of a general move- ment by the end of the month, which will require all the zeal and activity of Ihe National Guards. to put down ; but for them Paris must have exhibited a scene of incessant tumult and confusion, thoqgh the best informed are quite satisfied with the conduct of' Louis- Philippe!" f ! \ .

He was seized with apople& y af Geneva, and died almost immediately, at the age of sixty- four. PROPOSED CHEAT NORTHERN AND EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY.— Wc understand that it is in Contemplation to open a direct communication by- railway from London through Cambridge, Sleaford, and Lincoln, to Retford ; from thence through BaWtry and Doncaster, and forward nearly in line with the great North road to Edinburgh. Thc dis- tance measures upon tbe map 340 miles, and will be accomplished in 14 hours. All the water communi- cations out of the West will meet this line of railway The Eastern junction will be merely a continuation of thc Liverpool and Manchester, and Ihe proposed Manchester and Sheffield railway; from Sheffield to Retford, where it will form a junction with the Northern line and proceed through Lincoln, Sleaford, and Cambridge, to London, measuring upon tbe map 160 miles. The distance will be effected from Sheffield in six hours and a half; from Manchester in nine hours and a half; and Liverpool to London in It hours, with a branch from Retford through Gifiri'sb'oroiigh, Messingham, and Brigg, to Grimsby, thus opening a direct comiminication betwixt the Eastern and Western ofcean; measuring 1 ( it miles, which will be accomplished in seVen hours. This, it is said, will be thc most direct and expeditious line which can tie found from Liverpool to London. The black cattle out of thc North, and fat cattle from Lincolnshire, will make their transit to London, Sheffield, and Manchester, and all intermediate places, with great rapidity, and at little expense, compared \ Vi: th the present slow and laborious process.— Leeds Intelligencer.

Ministers having endeavoured to prevent the dis- cussion of the Reform Bill, by a determination of forcing its clauses in the Committee on thc strength of the majority with which they are now armed, those Members who are determined to use every means to thwart the revolutionary measure, successfully used the forms of the House oft Tuesday night for that purpose.— Eight times did they divide against the ministerial phalanx, until at length they obtained their object, in an admission that all members should be heard against the Bill in its discussion.— In the 24 who formed the minority, on the 8th division, at 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, was Mr. Cressett Pelham, one of the representatives of this county; and he had voted in the minority in the seven pre- vious divisions that niglrt. Mr. Rogers presented a petition to the House of Commons, on Thursday night, from the borongh of Bishop's Castle, praying that that bor6u « h might be taken out Of schedule A of the Reform Bill.— Ordered to be printed.

His Royal Highness, it is understood, will embark at Dover hi tbe Salamander packet, and sleep to- night, at Calais; and as be will also pass a night at several towns in Flanders, some days may elapse before he reaches Brussels. The Prince travelled in the most unostentatious manner. Some of his horses and carriages were shipped from the Custom- house this m irning. General Loftus, Colonel of the 2d Dragoon Guards, and Lieutenant- Governor of the Tower of London died yesterday, in the 80th year of his age. Thc German papers give, from various sources, statements so conflicting respecting the operations of the Russian and Polish forces, that It becomes next to impossible to elicit with certainty any fact of consequence as to the real state of affairs. On the one hand tbe accounts represent the prospects of the invaders to be favourable, and speak of repeated ad- vantages gained by ( he Russian General Rndiger; ( hat a detected conspiracy at Warsaw has given rise to serious differences among thc Polish authorities; and that Ihe Russian movements indicate a nearer approach to Warsaw. On the other hand it is stated, that success still continues on the side of the Poles whenever the opposing troops come into contact; ( hat ( he Russians have been compelled lo retire on several points from the Vistula ; and that, the ac counts from Lithuania still represent the insurrection in that and the neighbouring provinces to be rapidly extending itself. The Medical Commissioners from tbis country, Dr. Russell and Dr. Barry, who had proceeded to St. Petersburg!] for the purpose of obtaining ( he neces snry authority to sectire the facilities at Riga rcqui site for the objects of their mission, finding that Cholera had made its appearance in Ihe Russian capital, have judged it advisable to remain there, in order to watch the disease in a situation where they have an opportunity of witnessing its coi'nmenceftient as well as its progressive stages. The dispatch was written so soon after their arrival, however, and the breaking out of the malady hail heen so recent, that time dij not serve for more than identifying the cholera which prevailed on the shores of the Baltic with that which bus been of late years thc scourge of Hindustan. This identity was at once recognised by Dr. Russell, to whom the cholera of India was fami- liar. Little, if any doubt, Can be said to have existed on this point; still it is . satisfactory to have the general opinion confirmed by one who bas been an eye- witness of Ihe disease in Hs two very different and distant localities. The only circumstance worthy of notice, in addition to ( hose we have previously mentioned, is one pointed out. by Dr. Russell— namely, fhe peciiliar and characteristic sensation communicated by the tongue of the patient on applying the linger to it. In appearance it, is at first but little altered, but even then it feels cold, and exactly like touching a portion of raw flesh. No opinion is expressed in tlie dispatch as to the contagious or non- contagious nature of the disease. The mere fact of its mani- festation in St. Petersburgh, despite the triple cordon of troops, isa prima facie evidence against contagion; but by a private letter which is in town, we learn that the first case occurred in a person who had come down thc river in a bark ; the second in an individual who had been on board affer its arrival ; and the third in a soldier who had mounted guard on the boat, to prevent any intercourse with those on shore. If this be the truth, it is almost conclusive in favour of the contagionists. The disease was rapidly spreading, and we doubt not but that the next arrival will bring further particulars from the Commissioners,— Medical Gazette. General Paskewitch, it seems, has found the Russian army in too disorganized a state, from disease and other causes, to attempt any decisive movement, and consequently evacuated the Vaivodeship of Plock, abandoning for the present Ihe design of crossing the Vistula. The death of the Grand Duke Constantine is officially announced in tbe Russian papers.— He died at Witepsk after an illness of nine hours. We have intelligence from Warsaw of the 5th. It relates only to petty movements. Of the advance or retreat of Gen. Gitdgud in Lithuania accounts con. tinue to he only contradictory. It is said that Gen. Skrzynecki bas determined on marching towards Lithuania with thc body of his main army, having ascertained from the Governor of Warsaw, thai that city is in condition to hold out for a fortnight at least after his departure. The cholera continues to excite great apprehensions in both armies; but it appears to rage most fatally in the Russian. Whenever the Polish army encamps on ground previously occupied hy the Russians, the cholera is seen to break out. From Seidlec they write, to say that the mortality was sometimes nearly a thousand a day. There has been no arrival of French journals this morning. German papers have reached town to the iith inst. An article from Constantinople, dated on Ihe 10th ult . confirms the report of the plague having broken out at Smyrna, and that in consequence a six days quarantine bad been ordered upon all vessels cohiirigfrom the Archipelago. Constantinople appears to be in a very unsettled state, and great apprehensions were entertained that the public tranquillity would be disturbed. The Sultan had left the capital, for the alleged purpose of accompanying the fleet to the Dardanelles ; but his departure had given rise to various surmises. No fact is stated sufficient to justify tbe prevailing alarm ; but it is conjectured that the Sultan is about to carry some important ameliorations into effect. ,, Burlton and Llauymynech Turn- pike lload.

R. FISHER, Clerk to the Trustees. Newport, If,/ A July, 1831. [ From the Newry Telegraph.] We have this day the painful duly of announcing Ihe fact of a murderous conflict having taken place on the memorable, but latterly unhappy 12th, between two parties of our infatuated countrymen, The details that have yet reached us are, as usual, rather conflicting; we shall, therefore, confine our- selves to the relation of a few leading and prominent facts. To proceed, then :— The affray, we are in- formed, occurred on the road leading from Ban- bridge to Castlew, llan. Three lodges of Orange- men, belonging to Ballyroney, Shanagan, and Ben- raw, ( Ihe number of whom IIPS been variously estimated at from 40 to 60 in all,) had walked to Banhridge, from whence they wete returning early in the afternoon. They were very generally pfovided with fire- arms ; as, in consequence, it is said, of a party quarrel which hud occurred in the same neighbourhood about eight days previously, oppo- sition was expected. The opposite party, called " Threshers," who were also provided with fire- arms, had assembled in great numbers ( between one and two hundred, we hear,) in a field adjoining thc; Vroad- along which the Orangemen were necessitated to pass, and, having dispatched a messenger on horse- back to watch the movements of the latter party, they there deliberately planned the method of attack. On receiving intelligence from their scout that the Orangemen were at hand, the " Threshers" instantly had recourse to the backs of the ditches, and such other places as seemed likely to afford shelter to themselves, ami, at the same time, to give every facility and advantage to their meditated attack. The Orange party at length approached, quite un- conscious of immediate danger, when a volley of musketry was discharged among them, by which, it appears, several were wounded, two dangerously. On receiving fhe ftrc, the greater part of the Orange- men gave way in disorder. A few, however, stood firm, returned the fire, and, by their example, encouraged their retreating companions to do the same. The " Threshers" then advanced from the ditches, and a long and deadly struggle ensued 1 All that wc know of the result is this— that on the side of the " Threshers'' five men ( some say seven) have been killed, and a great number wounded. On the side of the Orangemen, it does not appear that there have been any killed ; one man, named Stewart, a Pro- testant, who was not in the procession, but. Was sitting in his carl, returning from Banliridge, received, on the first volley from the " Threshers," a ball in the right side of his head, which fractured his skull; thc ball bas since been extracted, but tbe man's life is still considered in danger. Two of the Orangemen were also wounded in the head—- a third received a bullet in the arm, and a fourth one in the knee. The " Threshers',' ultimately fled across the Bann, in which river three or four of that party were drowned. The Orangemen, iu their progress homewards, entered the houses which had been deserted by the " Thresh ers," and, our informant states, committed serious excesses. € l) e Salopian ' iournab WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1831.

He was born in the neighbourhood of Stonyhurst College, in which place he was baptized, his parents being of the Roman Catholic persuasion. He retained a pvriect recollection of the nine weeks' hard frost, which commenced to- wards tlie close of 1739, and was a stout boy, attending the plough, when two regiments of soldiers passed him on Lontrridge Fell, proceeding towards Clithero, dur- ing the rebellion of 1745. In the 15th year of his age he removed to. Manchester, where he was taught to weave oil the Dutch loom. Having entertained early doubts on the subject of the Roman Catholic faith, he attended the ministry of the first Methodist preachers, and heard some of them preach on the site on which the first Methodist chapel in Lancashire was afterwards built, the remains of which still stand in Birchin- lane, which was then surrounded with fields, and must have been as early as 1750 or 1751. It was not till after that he joined the Wesleyan Methodists, to which christian boJv lie had been united between 70 and 80 years. He . esiied mider the same roof, and was in the same era- ploy 71 years, dining which period different branches of the family of his employers rose and fell before him, while he stood, loved and respected by all. He was a man of great industry, integrity, simplicity, consideration, and piety, and died as he had lived— in peace. Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. W. G.

HOLYHEAD ROAD.— The Annual Report of the Commissioners of the Holyhead Iload, just published, contains a Report from Mr. Provis on the state of Ihe Road from Holyhead to Shrewsbury, which, however, contains no statement of public importance, excepting the following, with which he concludes:—" On the 1st of June, 1820, the toll upon carriages, post- chaises, and gigs, was reduced three- pence a horse, at all the gates between Bangor and Llangollen, agreeably to a Resolution passed to that effect at your last Annual Meeting, This is the second reduction that, has been made in the rate of toll at these gates ; and it is pro- bable that a further lowering of the tolls may be effected, should the travelling increase, which there is every reason to hope may be the case, from the good- ness of the road and inns, the facility of embarking and landing, both at Holyhead and Howth ( without the unpleasantness and frequent danger attendant upon the use of small boats in taking passengers to and from the packets), and from tbe expedition and safety with which the voyage is performed between those places." ABERYSTWITII.— This beautiful watering- place was never remembered so full as at present; and if the buildings, & c. go on as briskly as they have hitherto dune, it will in a short time be envied by most of our watering- places. Mr. Groom, of Welsh Pool, a few days ago, received a letter from tbe Captain of his vessel, the Mary Ann, dated Riga, in which the Captain gives a lamentable account of thc state of the crews in the several vessels there from Cholera Morbus. At Ihe Glamorganshire Assizes, last week, Lewis Lewis, " the huntsman," wilh several other persons conccrned as ringleaders in the late riots at Merthyr Tydfil, were tried aud convicted on several indict- ments. A correspondent of the Bristol Journal says— " Having found Ihe Chinese Green Tea Plant ( camel- lia riridisj to be more hardy than some other shrubs which endure the open air in this neighbourhood, I have tried it upon the Welsh mountains, and find it succeeds. I planted it in a part of Breconshire, not far from the source of the Usk, about 1000 feet above the level of the sea, and higher than the limits of the native woods, consisting of alder and birch. It endured the last winter, and was not affected hy the frost of the 7th of May. It has now made several vigorous shoots, and I have no doubt of its thriving very well in future," MARKBT HERALD.

Fine samples of Wheat, of our own growth, met a tolerably free sale to- day ( our millers being short of stock), and the prices of last Monday were fully sup- ported ; and although inferior qualities do not command a brisk sale, still they cannot be noted cheaper. In Foreign Wheat there was very little doing, but fine parcels may be considered a shade higher. The Malt trade is in a very dull state, and it is difficult to effect a sale without submitting to a reduction in price of from Is. to 2s. per quarter. Grinding Barley sells on rather better terms. There was a fair demand for Oats; anij fine fresh corn obtained an advance of Is. per quarter. They were very few Beans fresh up, and prices of this article were firm.

O11 Tuesday the market was numer- ously attended, and more business transacted than has been usual of late, at an increase in the value of most articles of thc trade. The weather having since beeii very unsettled, has caused considerable speculation in Wheat and Flour; the latter both free and bonded. There has also been an increased demand from the millers and dealers. The sales in Wheat have consisted chiefly of foreign; say, Canadian white at 8s. 9d. to 9s 6d. red at 8s. to 8s. 4d.

For Oats the demand has been more animated, and they are fully 2d per bushel dearer since this day week.

HUE following valuable and highly- interesting Communications having been received from the British College of Health, Mr. FISHER, the general Agent for the College in. this. District, deems- it necessary that the . Public should be put in Possession of the important Fact; that, the " VE- GETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES," are alone found to be sufficient for stopping the Ravages of the Cholera Morbus. He has also the Satisfaction to inform them, that the Disorders which are now so very prevalent in this Neighbourhood have been immediately relieved by the " Universal Medicines," without any Confinement whatever. - Multitudes in all Parts of the Kingdom, and in. our Colonies abroad, as well as the United States of Ame- rica, are now making Use of these Medicines alone for all the Variety of Complaints which afflict Human Nature. Many Thousands have been cured after the Means of the first ofthe Faculty have failed Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, having, " by his Address to the Hon. Court of Directors' of the East India Company," in 1825, and now re- published in the Work", entitled " Morisouiana," proposed " an easy and safe Remedy for the Prevention aud Cure of the Cholera Morbus in India," clearly laid down the Inefficiency of tile past and present Medical Practices for the Eradica- tion or even Stoppage of the Ravages of that dreadful Calamity, having, in Conjunction with the Members of the British College of Health, unremittingly exerted his Endeavours" to convince the British Public of a certain Prevention tind Cure of this devastating Com- plaint being to We obtained from'tl? e Use of M orison's Vegetable Universal Medicine's, now begs Leave to apprise the Public that every Opportunity has been taken'( as far as private; unaided Means ionld afford) to put the Powers of the Medicine to' the Test in the Baltic, where the Cholera Morbus is fearfully threaten- ing an Outlet to attack this happy Island; hitherto free from its Ravage5, and that the subjoined Comniunica- tion has been received from Mr. GARDNER, general Agent for the College for the County of Durham :— " To Mr. Morison, and the Members of the Britiih College of Health. " GENTLEMEN, " I have the pleasure to infoim you thatthe Italcyort arrived at Cromarty, from Riga, on the 26th ult. all well. She is bound to Glasgow; but, according to the restrictions on the Baltic ships, has to perform quarantine at Cromarty. The mate's wife received a letter from her husband, who states that, when' at Riga, lie caught the infection, then raging at its highest; ships laying on all sides losing daily part of their crew; but observes that, ' by my ( the writer, Mr. Gardner, who is part owtter of the Halcyon) plentifully supplying the vessel, at Sunderland, before sailing, with tne Universal Medicines of the British College of Health, he resorted to the means, iu strong doses, which soon had the desired effect of removing the complaint, and bringing him to a perfect state of health, and also kept them all clear of the infection afterwards.' Surely this ought to induce all com- manders of vessels to take them to sea every voyage, not only as a certain preventive to all diseases, but as a sure investment of trade, the Medicine being now in high request in all parts of the Baltic. I expect to have more particulars from the . Captain, in a few days. There have very few ships arrived from Riga without loss of part of their crew. I am, Gentlemen, Your humble servant, MICHAEL GARDNER. Bishop Wcarmouth, 6th July, 1831. BY MR. T.

Newtown, 18( A July, 1831. " To the Editor of the Dorset County Chrmiicle and Somersetshire Gazette. " MR. EDITOR, " Having frequently seen, in the Dorset County Chronicle ami Somersetshire Gazette, the advertise- ment of Mr. Morison's Medicines, I deem it a duty 1 owe the public thus to acknowledge the benefit, I have derived from taking the above valuable preparation, having been for twenty years afflicted with a complica- tion of disorders, the whole of which I was induced to believe, by some of the first medical gentlemen in London and Bath, to proceed entirely from debility of the stomach and digestive organs, consequently bracing medicines of every description were prescribed, in order, as they erroneously conceived, to brace the system, and recover the energy, if possible, of those parts: purgative medicines were wholly prohibited ; at least they were so sparingly administered that they had little or no effect, as they considered them prejudicial, and tended only to retard my recovery, consequently the inactive state of iny bowels on this account, was productive of stagnation and corrupt humour, which dreadfully affected the nervous system, so much so that at times 1 was incapable, of conducting my affairs; in this wretched state I passed my dreary aud comfortless days a bankrupt in health and estate, by the continued demands of my medical advisers, on " the efficacy of whose prescriptions my very existence appeared to me to depend ; at length 1 was advised to try a change of air, which I considered was recommended as the last resource; fortunately for me I came into this neigh- bourhood, and was here induced to try Morison's Pills, although 1 had the greatest horror of every thing like a Patent Medicine, nor could I ever before be prevailed oil to take even a pill, but my scruples here were over- come by conviction, as those who so strongly recom- mended them had experienced such wonderful benefit from them, and I now thank God that I was induced to make the attempt, as 1 had despaired of everagain en- joying good health, but after two months constantly taking the pills, regardless of the prohibition of all purgative medic ne hy iny medical advisers, the stomach and digestive organs are strong and healthy as possible, anil the bowels have recovered their former activity aed regularity— in fact I am in perfect health, and this I attribute wholly to the use of Mr. Morison's Pills, which I intend never to be without. Should this meet the eye of any one concerned in the distribution of this valuable preparation ( at least valuable in my case) it will be answering a two- fold purpose, inasmuch as it will be convincing them of my approbation of the medicine, and at the same time giving it publicity to all those similarly afflicted, By affording the above an insertion in your highly respectable paper, you will confer a benefit on the public, and much oblige " A CONSTANT READER, " And a Friend to Humanity. " Arminster, June 10th." THE REFORM BILL.

CORONATION. A Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette sets the ques- tion at rest as to ilie subject of the Coronation. The Ceremony is officially announced to take place on the 8th of September, and the usual Court of Claims is to coimhewe its sittings on the 25th instant. A Supplement to the Gazette of Friday Contains a second Proclamation relative to the Coronation, dis- pensing with the services and attendance of all per- sons who, by ancient ctlsloih and Usage, or in regard of tenures,- claim and are bound to perform certain offices at the ceremony ; and announcing that the procession and that part of the ceremony Which usually takes place in Westminster Hall is to he omitted, and the whole to be confined to the solemnity usually observed on such occasions at Westminster Abbey— The declaratory part of the Proclamation is as follows ii— " We, therefore, in compliance with the advice ten- dered to lis by our Privy Council, and having at heart the ease of our loving subjects, do, by this our Royal Proclamation, signify aud declare that it is our Royal will and pleasure, that such part only of the solemnity and ceremony of the Royal Coronation of ourself and onr dearly beloved Consort the Queen, as is usually, upon the, Coronation of the Kings and Queens of this realm, Solemnized in Westminster Abbey, shall take place; and^ ado furtherj by this, our Royal Procla- mation, signify and declare, that we do for ourself, and for our deaj- ly beloved Consort the Qneen, dispense, upon the occasion qfi. th. is our Coronation, with the procession^ and with the services and attendance of all persons ' V/ hff,' by ancient custom and usage, or in regard t> f! t1ffil£ tenures of any manors, lands, or other hereditaments, do claim, - aiid are bound to do and perform any services, at the time of the Coronation, Which, according to ancient custom or usage, are to be performed in Westminster Hall, or in the procession, such dispensation, nevertheless, to be altogether with- out prejudice to the rights aud prerogatives of onr successors, Kings and Queens of this realm, to demand and require the performance of the said several services at any future Coronation of the Kings and Queens of this realm;, and we do hereby further graciously declare that the same shall not interfere with the rights and privileges of any of our loving subjects to claim the performances of such several services, or any of them, at any future Coronation ; and We do hereby, in further compliance with the advice of the aforesaid Committee of our Privy Council, declare, and make known, to al! such of our loving subjects as it may concern, that it seems good to us that the Committee of Claims shall, upon the occas; on of this our Coronation, but without prejudice for the future to the rights and claims of any. of our loving subjects, exclude from their consideration such claims as may he submitted to them, " li respect to the rights or services connected with the parts of the ceremonial heretofore performed in West- minster Hall, and with the procession." It is announced that the King and Queen will proceed to Westminster Abbey in similar state as his Majesty does on opening or dissolving Parliament; and that their Majesties will be r. eeived by the Princes of the Blood Royal, all the great Officers of State, the Nobility and Gentry, & c. The Abbey will, of course, lie splendidly decorated on the occa- sion. One of the principal causes that has led to this departure from the usual pageantry is said to be the delicate state of his Majesty's health, and his consequent incapacity to undergo the fatigues of ledious and oppressive ceremonies. There is to be no banquet, but his Majesty will entertain a large parly at the Palace, and all the Ministers will give splendid dinners. The Proclamation is rendered necessary for dispensing wilh the attendance of a great many noble- men and gentlemen, who hold lands by the tenure of performing certain services at the coronation of the Monarch.

Revolution 2 Mr. Ferguson's b. c. Kangaroo 3 dr dr COURT OF CHANCERY— SATURDAY. At the sitting of the Court of Chancery this morn- ing; Sir E B. Sugden applied for an order of com- mittal against Mr. Loiig Wellesley, who had, on the preceding evening, in contempt of the authority of the Court, carried off from the residence and ( are of her aunts, Ihe Misses Tilney Long, the youngest ( female) infant child. The affidavit stated that Mr. Wellesley, in coriiparty With four other persons, Went to Unstead Wood, near Godalming, armed with what appeared to be constables' staves, and forcibly and violently taking the child, put her into a carriage, which they had with them for the purpose, and drove off with her. The Misses Long's servants made every attempt in theif power to stop the horses and re capture the infant, but all such efforts were in- effectual. The Lord Chancellor said he certainly should not delay one moment in ordering the- child ( who is between eleven and twelve years of age) to be restored to the eusiody of Mr. Courtenay, the guardian. Accordingly he ordered Mr. Butts, Ihe Serjeant at- Arms, to proceed without delay with his Lordship's warrant, to the house of Mr. Wellesley, in Dover- street, or wherever the child might be found, and to bring her into Court, when she should im- mediately be Consigned to the care of Mr. Collrtcnay. In the meantime his I. ordship desired Mr. Weftesley's solicitor fo set off iu a coach to that gentleman with the affidavit that had just been read, and to return as early as he possibly could with an affidavit from Mr. Wellesley, because the Court felt bound to justify its own jurisdiction, which had undoubtedly been grossly violated, and his Lordship was determined to dispose of the Contempt before he rose, if he should sit until twelve at night. The Serjeant- at- Arms returned to the Court at one o'clock, bul without being accompanied by fhe child. He informed the Lord Chancellor that he found Mr. Wellesley at home, and had stated to him Iiis authority and the object of his visit. Mr. Wellesley observed that his daughter was not there, nor would he tell where she was ; that he himself would be down at the Court in a short time, and see the Lord Chancellor on the subject. Mr. Wellesley arrived a little hefore two o'clock, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Gee. On his taking a seat on the bench, his Lordship inquired of liini where his daughter was, and whether he would consent to give her up fo the officer of the court? Air. Wellesley replied that he had ordered her to he removed out of the jurisdiction ofthe court, and did not then know precisely where she was; but that nothing should induce him to let her remain longer under the guardianship of tho- ie who had had the care of her, and he was prepared to submit to the consequences. His Lordship having ordered Mr. Wellesley to stand committed fo the Fleet, that gentleman begged the Lord Chancellor would accompany him into his private room, where lie would state his motives for the course he had pursued, and would not object to be accompanied by one counsel oil each side. His Lordship, Mr. Wellesley, Sir E. Sugden, and the Solicitor- General accordingly retired, and remained half an hour. On their return Ihe Serjeant- at- Arms was ordered to take Mr. Wellesley into custody ; aud the Lord Chancellor said, that though the Court was strong enough to protect its own order, yet, that out of courtesy, aud as a proof of the high respect which that Court had for parliament, he had written a letter to the Speaker, informing him that one of the members of his house had been ordered to be committed. In the course of his judgment, his Lordship observed, that he pitied Mr. Wellesley** situation, because no power on earth Could get him out of the imprisonment into which lie was ordered, short of an act of parliament, and that, he might depend upon it, he could not get rcadilv. Mr. Wellesley was then removed in custody. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been fortunate at, last in persuading the new Parliament to adopt one of his financial measures. Whether it will cither re- dound fo the honour and good faith of the British nation as a respector of ancient, treaties, or as regards its future financial and commercial prosperity, re. mains a matter of speculation, in common with almost every nieaStife hiftieWo proposed by Earl • Grey's Administration. VVe allude to Ihe proposed equalization of the Wine Dtifies, a measure which the lion, gentleman was Compelled to abandon in the last Session; but which it is now plain he has been induced again to bring forward under the tuition of his newly acquired financial friend, Sir llehry Parnell. We notice this early specimen of the anti- coloniul policy, and the furtherance of the principles of ' Free Trade, which afe about fo be adopted, because we are apprehensive it is a pretty clear indication of the nature of Ihe financial schemes meant to be proposed, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer produces the budget he will have fo bring forward in lieu of lhat which he was obliged in the late Parliament to abandon;— the hist item of which, the tax upon steam boats, - he has now announced has also been s - nt overboard. That fhe throwing open of trade is the intended policy of our liberal Ministers, has been publicly announced by Sir James Graham in sup- porting this alteration in the'wine duties. A more speculative doctrine was never so openly broached as this— it is candid, however, in Sir James to admit, that the reciprocity system has hitherto failed. " it has been asserted," says the Honourable Baronet, " ' that the properrst method of proceeding would have been fo have formed a commercial treaty of reciprocity with France ; but he begged 10 remind the House that that experiment had. often bten tried and failed. Much time had always been lost in attempting to establish treaties of reciprocity ; that course of proceeding had always given rise to gr^ at jealousy on the part of the nation with which this country treated, and after all, the object aimed at was not effected. He therefore thought it more politic, if it was to the internal interest of this country to make concessions, TO MAKE THEM WITHOUT PROPOSING STIPULATIONS ; and to set the sourid example of throwing open the trade.*' The Honourable Member for Preston will not forget, ive imagine, this avowal of Sir James, when he brings forward his intended motion for a free trade in corn. In defiance of the fact that our exports to Portugal --- the produce of our " national industry— amount, to two millions sterling annually, while to France they are comparatively little, the country is now required to surrender this profitable trade, in order to con- ciliate the liberals of France, and spite the " ruffianly Government'* ( as fhe Courier calls it) of Portugal. £' It will show the French," says this official organ of Ministers, " that we are not disposed to give facilities for the sale of the produce of a ruffianly Government, such as that of Portugal, which we would not grant to a country with which, for our mutual interest, we ought to have the greatest possible intercourse of general commerce. Where, we ask, is this fraterniz- ing spirit to end ? LIBERALITY. J. FISHER, Sole General Ayent for Shropshire and Cheshire, Wyle Cop, Shreusbury.—( Advice gratis J.

Famine and disease, it appears, are not confined to the counties of Galway and Mayo, but in the county of Donegal I lie scourge has made such rapid progress, that hundreds have died from famine and dysentery. Notwithstanding the liberal public subscriptions entered into in this country for the relief of tin- starving portion of the population of Ireland, it appears from a series of resolutions passed at a recent meeting of the* Committee, that the sum of ±' 12,000 is yet wanting to make up the amount necessary for the support of these wretched beings. " For this sum," says] the Committee, " there seems to be no provision, except in the continued bounty of the public, or in the interposition of lijs Majesty's govern- ment." The Rev. Dr. Knox, Bishop of Deny, died at his residence in town a few days since; and it is rumoured that the bishopric will be given either to the Hon. R. Ponsonby, at present Bishop of Killaloe, and brother- in- law of" Earl Grey, or to the Very Rev. Dr. Grey, Dean of Hereford, brother to the Premier. A specimen of fhe liberality with which the Morning Chronicle treats the opinions of those who differ from it as to the Reform question, is given in our 4th page.— We perceive that some of the pro- vincial prints are treading in the same liberal steps; and a » the frog would imitate the ox, we suppose they think it requisite to follow iu the train of their metropolitan leaders with an exuberance of bombast; the folly of which would only excite contempt, did not the atrocious wickedness of the ideas they would inculcate induce a more serious consideration. The following incendiary paragraph appeared in a provin- cial paper of Friday last, as a commentary upon Ihe proceedings in Parliament on Wednesday night: " We cannot find language sufficiently strong to " characterise our disgust at this most unprecedented " mode of proceeding. We hope, in the present temper " of an insulted and long- enduring people, that an " exasperated London mob may not inflict summary " vengeance upon certain of the factious borough- " mongers and their adherents." The folly and wickedness of such a paragraph as Ibis is only equalled by its want of common sense. The " London mob," and all other " mobs," accord ing to the Ministers' own statement, are Ihe parties intended to b » excluded by the Reform Bill from taking a pait in the choice of representatives. There- fore, they can have no reason to find fault wilh, much less to take " summary vengeance upon" those who oppose the Bill: unless, indeed, the Bill is intended, as those who oppose it have asserted, as a stepping stone to universal suffrage anil revolution. In that case " mobs" may, indeed, be supposed to have a reason for doing as the writer of the paragraph above quoted has insinuated : but if so, then, this inference being granted, we are furnished with the strongest of all reasons why the Reform Bill should be opposed, and why the motives of its violent supporters should i be suspected. MALTOS.— Mr. William Cavendish, the rejected candidate of the University of Cambridge, was nominated member of parliament for Maiton, by Lord Milton, on Wednesday last. Since the opening of the branch of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway from Bolton, on the 13th instant, there have been conveyed 1,546 passengers. The average receipts for fares and the carriage of merchandize, is at the rale of £ 10,000 per annum, and the effect has been to drive every stage coach off the road between Bolton and Liverpool. Mr. White, the Dublin attorney, who was lately apprehended at Chester, last week pleaded guilty to forging powers of attorney totransfer stock. Sentence of Death was passed upon him, and no hope of mercy held out. A LAOY ELECTF. n PARISH OVERSEER.-^ A lady named Sarah Lucy Guise, residing iu the parish of Horley, near Reigate, appealed against being- appointed Overseer,— The parish in question which contains about 7,000 acres of land, is divided into the north and north- east districts. Iu the N E. dictriel, where Mrs. Guise resides, there - are twenty- two persohs competent to perform the duty of overseer; five of them are women, and among the remainder- are, one• Magistrate-,- two attorneys, one publican, and one very infirm person, who are exempt from theduly. In the parish there are thirteen parish officers, and the persons above named are therefore called upon very often to perform parochial duties. In 1820 a lady named Brooker served the office of Overseer, aud Mis. Guise was then called upon to perform the same duly, which was Ihe first time during 16 years that any one had officiated who occupied the estate held by Mrs. Guise. She therefore appealed to the Sessions, and it was alleged on her behalf, that she was between sixty aud seventy years of age, and in ill health; that there were other persons in the parish competent to perform Ihe duly who had never been called upon, and that the election was made for no other purpose than to annoy her.— The Court, however, confirmed the appointment, and Mrs. Guise must, therefore, officiate as Overseer ! '. MYSTERIOVS DISAPPEARANCE. About four o'clock on Friday morning last, the fishermen em- ployed at the stake nets at the Bell Rock, about a mile to the n rth of the harbour of Ayr, were sur- prised to find a suit of clothes from shirt to shoe, lying on the beach while no person appeared in the water. From a letter in one of the pockets, it was ascertained they were those of William Wilson,' printer in Ayr. But their surprise was increased wlu h they conld not discover the trace of footsteps into the sea, white marks of bare feet ( since ascer- tained to correspond to those of Mr Wilson) were evident towards the land, and up a sandv brae, near a deep quarry. It appears that Mr. Wilson had been wi ll a few friends, and had left thein at a. i early hour on the same morning, as he said, to go home, and in about an hour afterwards the above discovery took place. He, we regret to state, has never since heen heard of, and, to all appearance, his fate must remain, however afflicting to his relatives, an un- fathomable mystery, as every thing has been done that conld be thought of, to ascertain how he has come to his untimely end. It is somewhat remarkable how people disappear in this mysterious manner. This is the third occurrence of the kind which has lately taken place here. Mr. Eccles of Masbrihill came to Ayr on a market- day, disappeared, and was never more heard of; a young man, a clerk with Mr. Wallace, was seen on the quay one night; he al- o disappeared, and no trace of him was discovered ; and now this young man has disappeared in a like unaccountable manner.— Ayr Advertiser. DEATH OF PATRICK GIBSON.— This " auncicnte marinere" died, the other day, at his residence, near the World's End lane, ( the address for so long a liver!) Chelsea, at the remarkable aije of 111 He was a purser in tlie navy, superaunu ted after lie had passed his hundredth year Gibson was an Irishman, and of a very strong, sinewy frame.

Faithful to his ol I sea customs, he lived chiefly on HI It junk, wh cli lie laid in for fhe week and so hid little trouble i i marketing. He was very cheerful, and his conversation ext- emelv entertaining. The last time we saw him ( fir so singular a person war well worth the aftcnti - n of his neighbours), he had relumed from his half- yearly visit to the bank, per coach, to receive his dividends lie was in hiih spirits, and told us a story of ( he taking of Quebec, where be was a purser, in 1759. He had, it seems gone ashore to bathe, and was in a state of nudity when lie perceived boats from the fleet with the immortal Wolfe, and the gallant Admiral who com- manded the naval part of the expedition, approaching the spot selected for his ablutions. He had barely lime to huddle up his clothes, and take refuge in a hut which stood by the sea side. It happpened curiously enough that the two commanders walked into fhe same cabin, and while the shivering purser was in secret trying to get into his shirt and trowsers, he, per f ree, overheard their conversation. Wolfe bluntly slated to the Admiral thai he was determined to attack the heights next morning; and asked him if he would assist him with the marines from fhe vessels. " Not only with the marines," was the characteristic reply, " but with every sailor who can be spared to bear a hand." This, said old Gibson, was the only court held on the memorable occasion,— the brave officers shook hands upon it, and returned to their boats; the glorious result of their union is . « bright page in English history.— t. itera. y Gazette.

REFORM BLL. T. Lord Joitii RusstLfi moved the order of the day, that tbe Speaker do Lave the dhair, for the purpose of enabling the House to go iuto a committee on the bill — Lord JLAITTSHD thereupon moved that he might present a petition praying that counsel be heard at the Bur ugaiiist Ihe disfranchisement of Appleby. The population of that borOugh, instead of falling under 2000 in 182f, was, by the returns then made, 2641.— This petition led to much dis- cussion. Lord JortN RUSSFEL urged that tbe progress of the Bill Ought not to be impeded by tbis proposi- tion, the bill not being one of pains and penalties. Tbe question was one of fact — the amount of the population of Appleby ; and to ascertain that fact it was not necessary to call in Counsel: it could be rectified iti tiie committee. If they adopted the course now proposed, every borollgh in schedule A or B might apply to be heard by eodusel. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said Ibis proceeding was altogether a mask which the boroughinougers had availed themselves of for the purpose of en- deavouring to defeat the Bill, and of preventing its further progress. Mr. C. W. W. WYNN observed, that lie had sat for many yeurs in that'iioilSe, and for several years past he had ncVer heard such objections urged to auy motion, us had been made lise of ill'this present ease. In the first plhce, it had been said, that the bill was not a bill of pains aud penalties, und that therefore those who were deprived of their franchise by any enactment iu it were. iidt entitled to be beard at that bar. But Was there a member in tbis house who did not kno\ V that il was only on the second reading of a bill that a petition could be presented against it, and that the proper time to be heard in arguing against any enactment in the bill, Was be. fore the house w (' lit into coiliillitt'ee upon it. T here was not an argument which had been urged by those lion, members who were opposed to the motion which might not be used with equal force against any other bill, whether private or public. But, let him ask, would fhe majority stop all en- quiry into the cases of boroughs about to be dis- franchised, and at once give their vote So whatever proposition might be brought forward hy his Ma- jesty's ministers? He might compare the case to that of a trial before a jury. " Here are forty- seven boroughs," says au honourable and learned member, " which I call upon you to give a verdict against. Do not talk, gentlemen of Ihe jury, about the evi- dence which had been offered of their guilt. We requite you to give your verdict guilty or not guilty, and not to look at the eases where the evidence does apply, and wHere ft does not,- but . disfranchise the w hole 47— pas's sentence upon thefh without' any* examination— don't allow them to be heard,- nor'to give any reason why sentence of death shoulld not be passed upon tlieni— but if in your be- lief lliet'e is one guilty place amongst the in, con- demn Ihem all." ( Cliecrs. J Mr. ATTWOOD observed, that the heft. member for Nottingham ( Sir T. Deninan) bad Made an ac- cusation against' the petitioners which he had nb right to prefer, nor hud he auy right to say that Ihey appeared before the house under a mask for Ihe purpose of defeating Ihe Reform Bill. They only sbiight to establish their own rights according to the principles of the bill; and in urging those claims they bad disclaimed all opposition to, or denial of, that principle; the lion, and learned member therefore had no right to accuse them of an intention which they disavowed. If tbe endeavours of the petitioners to obtain a just application of tbe principles of fhe bill to their own case, were found fo obstruct the progress of the bill, it was the fault not of the petitioners but of those who framed tbe bill, probably the lion, and learned member himself.- " i'lie principle of the bill was, that boroughs pos- sessing a population of more than two thousand persons were not to be totally disfranchised, and yet many boroughs were included in the schedule A which contained more than two thousand persons, and these disfranchisements were regulated by population returns, which were, to the knowledge . if Ihe house, confessed to be altogether incorrect. For instance, there was an error in the case of the borough of Appleby, which was sef down as con- taining a population of 1340,' whilst it was proved to contain 2641 inhabitants. On such proof of in- correctness and injustice, if a remedy were not to be applied to Ihe error, then he should say that the ministers who declared themselves to be fhe advo. cates of the principles of liberty were not the friends pf liberty, but merely tyrannical oppressor's; and if the House of Commons were to sanction, by a majority, sucb acts, there was no injustice,- nor was there any act of tyranny which they would be pre- vented from committing. After a lengthened discussion Ihe House divided, when there were for tbe petitioners being beard by counsel 187— against il 284 — majority < 17. Mr. CONOL£. Y then addressed Ihe House against the general principle of the Reform Bill, which was, he said, of a revolutionary and democratic nature, and would lead to consequences of tile most tatal kind. Mr. FANE said the Ministers had only intro- duced thc Bill to relieve themselves from the difficulties in which their own imbecility had iu- volved them. They had kept the whole country for several mouths iu a state of uproar about a measure wliicll they were now compelled to ac- knowledge was one of speculation. Auoiber discussion look place, in which strangers were, excluded'; when the House divided again on the motion of Mr. CIVFSSFTT PELHAM, that the House do now adjourn.— Ayes 286— Nots 90— majority 100. The next division was ot » the motion of Sir C. Welhcrell, that the debate be adjourned to Thurs- day.— For the adjournment 63— against it 235— majority 172. From twelve o'clock till half- past three strangers were excluded, and the House was engaged debating as to their course of proceeding. When the gallery was re- opened, the Speaker was putting the question 41 that I now leave the chair;" on which Lord STOUIIONT moved that the debate be adjourned to this dayut five o'clock.— On a division there appeared— for the adjournment 44— against it 214 — majority 170. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL expressed his hope that his noble friend ( Lord Altborp) would persevere iu opposing the adjournment: for the consequence of yielding would be, that the same course which the opposition had now. taken they would lake on Wednesday, and on Thursday ; that the same course which they had taken on the 12th of July, they would take ou the 12th of August, on the 12th of September, and so ou, until by these repeated delays, on affected pretexts, they would defeat the great and important measure which had been brought forward by llis Majesty's Govern- ment. Rlr. CRESSETT PELHAM adverted to former oc- cas'ons on which a minority had successfully persevered in a similar course, and trusted they would do so in the present instance. Some further discussion took place, and Lord STORMONT moved that the debate be adjourned until Thursday.— On a division, there were for the adjournment 37— against it 203— majority 166. Mr. JAMES said many persons regretted that the divisions on this occasion had been so frequent. f- Vir his port, he rejoiced at the circumstance, as it would show the country the factious nature of the opposition which had been made to His Majesty's Government. The question was, whether the power of giving away the public money should be sold to tbe possessors of rotten boroughs, or whether it should be given lo tiie legitimate re- presentatives of the people? Mr. CRESSETT PELHAM said he was neither a possessor of nor a member for a rotten borough ; and if the supporters of the present government were so hostile to rotten boroughs, why did they not relinquish those in their own hands ? The House next divided on a motion of Mr. PRAFJ), that the debate should be adjourned until Friday, at five o'clock.— For the motion 25— against it 187— majority 162. An honourable member then moved an adjourn- ment until. to- morrow ; on which, after another desultory discussion, the House divided— for the motion 24— against it 1S7— majority 163. Sir C. WETIIKRELL declared that in supporting these motions for adjournment, be only wished to assert the freedom of debate, and asked what pro- position the opposition side would make to ac- celerate public business? Lord ALTIIORP, in reply, proposed that the original question should be carried pro forma, and ordered to be re- committed tbis day ( Wednesday). ' An honourable Member said, on the condition that all those who had spoken before on the subject should have a right to speak again, he would agree to the proposal. The adjournment to this day ( Wednesday) was then put and agreed to. The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole House, the bill was committed pro forma, and ordered to be re- committed this day ( Wednes- day). Adjourned at half- past seven o clock in the morn- ing. HOUSE OF LORDS— WEDNESDAY. COLLECTION OF TITHES ( IRF. LAND). The Bishop of FERNS had a petition to present to their lordships from several beneficed clergymen of bis diocese, complaining of tbe systematic oppo- sition to thc collection of their tithe, which was now carried lo such a length that they found it impossible to gather them without the aid of military power. He requested that the petition might be read at length. Thc petition having been read by the clerk, The Right Rev. Prelate, before he asked per- mission to lay the petition upon the table, thought it right lo say a few words in order to show that the petitioners had not - brought upon themselves the evils of which they complained. He was far from intending to go into the whole history of the transactions which bad lately taken place in Ireland in connexion with tlie subject, but he felt if bis duty to mention some facts which would proVe the clergy to be wholly blameless. A letter liad been published some time ago which contained the must virulent attack upon the Protestant clergy of Ireland— a letter in which the Irish people were commended for their hostility to tithe, and in which the hope was expressed that this hostility would never cease. This letter, considering Ihe quarter whence it proceeded, showed that the hostility to tithe ought not to be ascribed lo the conduct of the Protestant clergy. This letter contained much calumny directed against the clergy, which it would now be his business to repel. It was said in the first place, that the clergy were , generally non- resident, and therefore useless. Would it be believed, after this bold assertion, that in the comity in which Dr. Doyle resided there was only a single clergyman who had a church who did not reside in his parish ? And why was this single clergyman non- resident ? Merely hccuuse lie had no house in the parish, and could dot get one iu any degree fit to live in. Having thus represented the clergy generally as non- resident,' for the purpose of persuading the people that they were useless, tire nuthor of this letter then proceeded fo describe tbeiV property, for the purpose apparently of inviting attack. It was not necessary for him to enter iuto a detailed reply to - the exaggerations and mis- statements of thc pamphlet with respect to fhe property of the church. The selection of one or two examples would abundantly suffice to show the spirit and tendency of the publication. The pamphlet spoke of livings of five, four, and three fhonsaud a' year. Now he would venture to Say fhaf there was not one parish ih Ireland whidh yielded to ifs incum- bent three, or even £ 2,0o<) a- year. lit C'arlow, a very highly cultivated county, the average income of the clergy from tithes Was £ 384 a- year. They had no glebe, or rn a fcW cases iu which glebe existed it was unproductive of income. He would mention what had taken place in the parish of Craig, thc incumbent of which was' Mr. Alcock Mr. AlcoCk had resided in his family for above twenty years, and during that time had ebut'fed the favour of his Roman Catholic parishibheri When thc composition for titli'es Was carried into effect, lie relinquished £ 200 u vea;', abotif one- fourth of liis whole iiicome. The average com- position Of fhe parish was at the rate of sevenpence per acre. Cont'd anybody say this was too much? Ho believed the clergy generally had acted willi similar liberality, and he intended before be sat down to move that there be laid upon the table a general account of tbe compositions iu eVery parish in Ireland, accompanied by K Statement Of Hie number of acres in each parish of cultivated laud They would then be in possession of a document to which they could confidently refer whenever eom- plaints were made of the exactions of the clergy. He wished he could find a remedy for the evils he had described as easily as he could describe them. It vvas in vain that laws existed if they could not be pot in execution. In the parishes which had u6t compounded, no man would put his life in danger by attempting to levy fhe lithe. All who did so were menaced with the penalty of death by those who never menaced in vain, tn most of the parishes of Ireland tithe, properly so called, no longer existed. By the Composition Act, it had almost every where merged into rent, and the payment of that rent was now refused. Newtowu- barry and olher parishes, where the greatest outrages had been committed;- were ander com- position. Tbe petition was flien laid on Ihe table. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. 11 EFOITM BILL. Capt. fiflli DON, after declaring that the conduct of those who, with him, supported thc motions for adjournment On the previous night was dictated only by a spirit cf uncompromising and honest opposition to a measure which, in their opinion, would lead to the destruction of the country, said the threats and combinations of tbe Radicals had produced the present measure, and it was idle and preposterous to say that that body was now dissolved— that this measure had nnnihihifed it— especially when the hon. member for Preston had presented petitions, having 6( 1,000 signatures attached to iTirm, in favour of annual parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by ballot; also petitions from 7,000 persons calling the clergy of the ' Established Church bloated bigots; and from tens of thousands of persons stating that ttiis bill did not go far enough. These were facts, and yet in fhe face of these facts the government of the country thought it safe, prudent, and advisable to destroy the only effectual method of checking the popular will, without bringing tbe different branches of the legislature into collision. Why, be asked, were all tbe disaffected, the diseased, and the degraded to be found among Ihe supporters of the bill ? Simply because no such blow had ever before been struck at the institutions of the country. It was a measure which would sweep away every mound of protection, nnd leave the institutions of the country au open prey to their worst foes. The hon. member then produced a printed paper, which was a report from the Dele- gates of the National Union Society of the Working Classes, and was dated Assembly Rooms, Oxford- market. One of these delegates had stated that he had a petition signed by 20,000 persons, which was to be presented to that house ; but that delegate added, that if he found any difficulty in getting thc petition presented to the honse he was authorised to lay it at the foot of the throne, and to tell the Sovereign that thc people would uo longer submit in tbe manner they had done. Nor was thisi all. II1' found that these delegates were from all parts of the country, and that in different places preparations were made to forward their plans, and to act upon their suggestion. At Glasgow a large body of men were regularly organised, and black banners were already prepared for their use and excitement; at Manchester similar preparations ; and respecting the Condition of Birmingham, it had been a matter of boast and exultation with the delegates thitt two bodies of men composed of Ihe lower orders, each man armed with a musket and bayonet; as large as thc armies at Waterloo, could be produced in the open field, in opposition to legitimate authority. It was owing to the clamour of the disaffected and the dsicontented that this bill had been produced : the influence of those persons was daily increasing, and it would continue to increase^ until it became over- whelming, if it was to be given way to, and the bill passed into a law. He said, therefore, that this was not the period when such a bill as that before the house ought to have been introduced. There was revolutionary feeling abroad; circumstances had occasioned much excitement; anil prudence, patriot- ism, aud wisdom would have endeavoured to allay all irritation rather than to have increased it Agitation in this country had been justified upon the ground that because it was right iu France it must be right here. But there was no parallel between the cases. In foreign countries tbe people had been sleeping the sleep of death, and bound in tbe fetters of iron des- potism ; while in this country they had known, felt, and enjoyed freedom, prosperity, and happiness. The reforms and reliefs which were justly required in other countries were not required here; and whilst tbe virtuous and the good in foreign lands might and ought to be exerting themselves to give liberty and sound institutions to their fallen countrymen, in England the discontented and the vicious were struggling to over- throw all that was worthy of support. Colonel LINDSAY' said the Ministers hud Intro dueed the Reform Bill for the purpose of hiding their manifold blunders iu finance; and he thought uo greater blunder could be committed than that of throwing awav a system under which the country had triumphed and prospered, in order to try a speculative theory. If the measure should be adopted, he sincerely hoped that the government would prove correct in their anticipations, and that the blessings of the country would be their reward; but he very much feared that anarchy, and not peace, would result from the bill, and that the measure once adopted, it w ould be found that they had quitted the shore never to return ; and that for happiness misery would be substituted. He stood there as the representative of a large county in Scotland; and as such he honestly aud firmly opposed the measure. The House having gone into a committee on the Reform Bill, the chairman read the first clause, dis- franchising' all the boroughs enumerated in schedule A, upon which the Right Hon. C. W. W. WYNN moved that this clause be postponed. The Right Hon. Gentleman contended that no reason was stated iu the clause for the disfranchisement of these boroughs. He objected lo the line which had been drawn, that it was arbitrary, and said, if the enumeration of 1811 had been taken instead of 1821, boroughs would have been retained which are now disfranchised, and disfranchised whiqli are now retained; and if the census of 1831 were to be taken, the same fluctuations would be found. Wishing lo see the large towns represented, and yet unwilling to have the number of members aug- mented, he wished to proceed with the other clauses, and then to consider how the diminution should be effected. He was, he said, inclined to prevent any total disfranchisement, and thought the best way of making room for the new members was by uniting boroughs, not disfranchising them. This, however, could not be done, until Ihe number of new members to be provided for was known, and he should therefore propose that the consideration of the first clause ( schedule A) be postponed, in- tending, if his motion was carried, to make the same motion with respect to the second clause ( schedule B). Sir E. Sue DEN opposed the Bill at great length; and said, with such a precedent before them, a parliament of reformers would not pay much atten- tion to the principles of the constitution, or to the lights of the electors; and as it was well known that all new bodies were uniformly hostile to ancient institutions, they would witness, erelong, the lamentable consequences of the course they now proposed to adopt. The affair of the clause limiting Ihe franchise to rent paid not less frequently than once in the half year was carefully withdrawn. In this affair, he repeated, there could be no mistake with respect to the intentions of his Majesty's go- vernment. These intentions were precisely de- scribed in technical language. It was clear, there- fore, that the Ministers had found, iu their first bill, they had gone loo far in extending the fraud. is1, and wished now to have pared it down again i but Ihey had only got into a dilemma, and shown tlieir intentions without having the power to carry them into effect. Mr. STANLEY said he should oppose the motion of his right lion, friend ( Mr. Wynn), because he con- ceived it was framed in such a way as to delay and defeat the great measure itself. Mr. CROKF. R Said, the King had been pleased lo dissolve the late parliament, in order, as it was staled, to take the sense of the country on the Reform Bill, and the country had been taught to answer in the cuckoo note of " the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill." And what was the case now ? Why every principle of the bill hail been altered. His Majesty had been advised to dissolve thc last parlia- ment, because it would not pass the bill; but what parliament was dissolved for, that his ministers had actually done. They had rejected the Bill in the Cabinet, by altering every part of it. Let them tremble, then, lest Ihey be dissolved themselves. What had been the boasted basis of the hill ? " Pro- perty," said the noble lord, borrowing Ihe fag- end of metaphor of the First Lord of the Admiralty, " property is the anchor of the bill." He ( Mr. Croker) was glad to see the honourable member for Shrewsbury ( Mr. Slaney) come in; he was a witness upon the point. He should put him into the box. ( A laugh. J The house would remember, that whilst Ministers Wer6 secretly hatching fhis bill in the Cabinet, tbe unconscious member for Shrewsbury, unaware of what would be put in their bill, intro- duced a bill of his own to exempt from the payment of poor rates thc inhabitants of houses under £ 12 a year rent, and to charge the rates upon the landlords — yet the very persons fhat he ( Mr. Slaney) would say were not able to pay a rate, were the very persons the Ministers were raising to the distinction of electors. (" Hear, hear J Whilst this measure, which was to counterbalance the destruction of all Ihe corpora- tions,— to counterbalance the aristocratical influence in the country, by the raising the £ 10 householders to the elective franchise, whilst this measure was hatching in fhe Cabinet, the honourable, member for Shrewsbury was shewing that £ 10 houses were not a measure of property, but of pauperism ( Cheers from thc opposition) ; and he brought in a hill fo that effect, which actually stood for a second reading on the very night otl which the noble lord ( John Russell) brought in his bill, by which £ 10 house- holders were to be raised from the state of paupers, and erected into independent legislators of the coun- try. ( Cheers, thrice repeated, from the opposition. J That circumstance formed a comedy ; and now came the farce of the transaction. The honourable gentle- man seeing his benevolent purpose defeated, was aware that he could no longer hold fo £ 12 paupers, while the Reform Bill considered them such very re- spectable persons; therefore he withdrew the first, and brought in a second hill; and it would amuse the House to see the evasion by which the honourable member endeavoured to steer clear of the ministerial measure. His first bill provided that all houses uuder £ 12 value should be released from the pay- ment of rates, and consequently that the rates should fall on the landlords, and was of course intended to include those of £ 10 value, because if the limit had been under £ 10, that would have meant those of £ 9 and under. The new Bill had been brought in with the words " under twelve pounds" altered to " under ten pounds," and in that shape it was running bv thc side of the Reform Bill. One Bill held out that the £ 10 householder was an independent elector ; thc other that he was a pauper, being unable to con- tribute to fhe parochial rates. Could any one say the elective franchise in that instance was established upon property ?— The right hon. gentleman concluded by expressing his opinion Uiat the House, in giving countenance to the ministerial plan of reform, was preparing to take a dangerous and destructive course. Mr. CRESSETT PELHAM opposed the disfran- chisement clause, aud supported Mr. Wynn's amendment. Sir ROBERT PEEL said he would briefly state the grounds on which he would vote for the right hon. gentleman's ( Mr. Wynn's)- amendment, and against their proceeding to act without further information ; iu fact, the grounds on which he was opposed to the bill altogether. He objected to the disfranchising schedules A and B; because, in the first place, they were hostile lo those principles of prescription which had hitherto been observed in both houses of parliament; because, in the second place, the abolition of these boroughs would deprive talent, unaccompanied by fortune or family influence, of an easy access to that house; because that abolition would tend to curtail the prerogative of the Crown iu the choice of its ministers, by the want of a mode of procuring a seat in the event of transient unpopularity iu a large town or county, and to this objection he had in vain listened for an answer ;— because the abolition of the close bo- roughs would shut out men of retiring, philosophic habits, who would instinctively shun the artifices necessary to win the popular suffrage;— because he believed that a £ 10 constituency, with all respect, could not make choice of as enlightened and independent representatives as found their way through the close boroughs ; because the colonial interests would lose their only chance of direct representation ; and lastly, and chiefly, because the extinction of the close boroughs would remove the best constitutional check which that house aft'orded upon the excesses of the popular will. I'or these reasons he was opposed to the bill, and should have much preferred a more moderate measure. By moderate, he meant, for example, the adoption of schedule C, that which invested the larger unrepresented towns with the franchise; while he would keep the numbers of the house at their present amount, by disfranchising the smaller boroughs iu exact arithmetical proportion as he enfranchised the larger towns. On a division, there appeared, for Mr. Wynn's amendment, 174— against it 292— majority 118.— The House then adjourned. Singular Charge of Felony. The following singular Case Was heard on Friday before the Rev. John Clare and Henry Hill, Esq. at the public office in Wolverhampton, in which Mr. Edward Rhodes, of the Seven Stars, Ketley, neat1 Wellington, a most respectable man, was charged with horse- stealing. The horse stolen from a Sir. Ombersley, was stated by the prosecutor and his witnesses to be now four years old, of a dark brown, and to have been lost in the month of October last. The horse claimed, which was produced in the court of the public office, was in colour a ricft bay, and, by the examination of Mr. Rhodes's numerous witnesses, was satisfactorily proved to have been purchased by him from a respectable horse- dealer, in May, 1829, and his age to be now six years. To establish his case the prosecutor called several witnesses. Joseph Spittle, a butcher, farmer, and maltster, of Darlaston, said, in August last 1 sold a brown horse to Samuel Smith Dorsett, of Darlaston, baker, for £ 27. 10s ; I leyed him out for two summers with a Mr. Faulkner. The hnrse is five years old, and now rising six ; he was foaled in the month of March. I heard of Dorsett having lost the horse in October last, it was about the 16th or 17th ; 1 never saw thc horse again till the 22d of June last, when I saw him in a field belonging to Mr. Rhodes, at Ketley ; there were three persons with me; 1 said to one of the men who was with me, " Stop the gig;" 1 got out and jumped over the wall into the field where the horse was; 1 whistled and called the horse by his name Bishop ; lie was from 25 to 30 yards from me, and on calling him he came near to me ; I thought I could catch him as usual, but he bounced away from me. When I came home I informed Mr. Dorselt that 1 had found his horse ; I went again to Ketley ill about a week's time, in company with the constable ( Partridge) and Mr. Dorsett; we found the horse in a turnip field, and seized liim ; I looked at the horse again, and went on each side of him to find the private marks, I also went round to his head, anil then examined him ; when he was a year old he had the strangles very bad, and as 1 was one day then bring- ing him out of the malthouse I observed a lump with matter in it by the jugular vein ; I pulled a penknife out of my pocket and run it in very sharply to loose the matter out, it made a wound ; and on examining, 1 there found the same mark again ; his ribs were different from any other horse I ever saw, he was ribbed up to the hip or nearly, and a false rib on bis near side; I have found the same thing in beasts, but never saw it in a horse before ; there was a particular mark on the hind leg, for when he was about four or five days old the marc got loose in the stable, and trod on his hind leg ; people called it a ring bone. Richard Wiltis, waggoner to Mr. Dorsett, stated evidence as possitive. Samuel Smith Dorsett, of Darlaston, said— In August last I purchased a brown horse from IMr, Spittle. 1 lost the horse either the 17th or 18th of October last. I first heard of the horse being in Shropshire last Monday was a week; from informa- tion I received I went to Ketley to Mr. Rhodes. 1 was there shewn a horse in a field, about 300 or 400 yards down the road, drawing manure with other horses I immediately owned the horse; I got the backhand and crupper removed to look at two saddle marks which were on the horse's back ; I then found two similar matks which were nn Ihe horse lost; the hurt was occasioned by going to Walsall races. 1 afterwards obtained a warrant, and went with tbe constable and Mr. Spittle to Mr. Rhodes's, of Ketley, to take Ihe horse ; the horse was taken possession of by the constable, and brought away When we got to Darlaston, we turned Ihe horse 30 or 40 yards upon this side of my stable; he went into the stable, and into the same stall he used to stand in ; I afterwards turned him out in another situation in the town, and he went direct to Mr. Spittle's stable and slaughter house, though where he vvas so turned out was about 100 yards off, and he bad then to make a turn before he got to the stable. Before 1 bought him he had been used to be kept there; I afterwards turned him out opposite to where I live; fhe road to my field is first to the left and then to the right; 1 used to have the horse taken that way to the field; he went straight to the field and put his nose over the gate. I have no doubt it is the same horse 1 bought from Mr. Spittle ; ( on witness being directed to look at and examine tbe horse then standing in the court, he said) this is the horse I bought of Mr. Spittle, and the same I found at Ketley with the constable, and is my property. residing in Wolverhampton; I have examined the horse now present, which I consider to be now six years old off. The Magistrates still concurring that a prima facie case had been made out by the prosecutor and his witnesses, intimated to Mr. Rhodes that they con- ceived it to be their duty to demand bail for his ap- pearance to take his trial at the next assizes at Stafford, on the change of horse stealing, and were so proceeding, when Mr. Rhodes's attorney urged them to hear the testimony of liis numerous other witnesses, which he had till then declined calling, not wishing to trouble the Court with theif testimony, and which, if buffered to he heard, would put the ease beyond the possibility of a doubt;— this was objected to, on account of such witnesses having been in court when the prosecutor and his witnesses were examined ; but after much solicitation and entreaty by Mr. Rhodes and several highly respectable friends, who attended him on the hearing of this case, the Magistrates at last complied. The following witnesses were then called— George Rixom.— I am a veterinary surgeon, and reside in Shiffnal, Salop; 1 know the horse now pro- duced ; 1 first saw him about two years since ; he was then in Mr. Rhodes's possession ; I was called in to attend thc horse professionally on the 16th of March, 1830; I blistered him then ; I saw hirri again on Ihe 23d of March, I gave him some physic, and blistered him again ; I have seen the horse several times since in Mr. Rhodes's field, and I will swear the boric noIW present is the one I attended and saw in Mr. Rhodes's possession ; the last time I saw the horse was in March last. Witness, on examining the horse, then stated, he is' now six years old off last May. John Jones.— I am a farmer, and reside at Lillesball, in the county of Salop ; I was at Mr. Rhodes's in May, 182{), and saw him purchase the horse now present from Mr. Tandy, the horse- dealer; 1 rode it myself at the time, as I had some intention of purchasing it for my brother- in- law ; Mr. Rhodes's son had him on duly in the Yeomanry, at Shrews- bury, in May, 1830, and we were quartered together ." it the same house; I have also seen the horse several times since in Mr. Rhodes's possession, and I am certain that it is the same horse; 1 examined the horse at the time Mr. Rhodes purchased him— lie was then four, and is now six years old off; Mr. Rhodes's son is since dead. Benjamin Sillitoe.— X arn a farmer, anil reside at Ketley, near Mr. Rh'odes's; 1 was present, and saw Mr. Jones, tbe last witness, ride the horse when Mr. Tandy offered him for sale to Mr. Rhodes, in May, 1829; I have seen the horse repeatedly since at Mr. Rhodes's, and I will swear that he is the same horse; I was on duty at Shrewsbury, in May, last year, and the horse now present is the same which Mr. Rhodes's son rode in the troop at that time. William II. Wooltcy.— I am a clerk to the Lillesliall Company, and reside at Prior's Lee ; I am intimate with Mr. Rhodes, and often go to his house; the horse now produced I first saw at Prior's Lee farm, which was occupied by Mr. Rhodes, in May, 1S29 ; I have often seen the horse since in Mr. Rhodes's possession, and will Swear to its being the same horse. John Boulton.— I ani a farmer, and reside at Albrighton; I am intimate with Mr. Rhodes; I first saw the horse now produced in Mr. Rhodes's posses- sion in July, 182 § ; I will swear to its being thc same horse ; I saw him lame in the July of last year. Thomas Richmond.— I am a livery- servant to Mr. Honiberslcy, who resides opposite to Mr. Rhodes's ; 1 saw Mr. Rhodes buy thc horse of Mr. Tandy about two years ago ; I have repeatedly seen the horse since in Mr. Rhodes's possession, and am certain the one now produced is the same horse; I remember the horse lame last summer; he was then blistered, and has since been fired. John Grice.— I am servant to Mr. Rhodes, and have been in his service twenty- one months ; Ihe liorse now. present was in Mr. Rhodes's- possession when I entered his service, and has remained so ever since ; the horse has been fired and blistered since I came into Mr. Rhodes's service ;. I assisted in firing him. After hearing the testimony of the last witnesses, the Magistrates declared that they were perfectly satisfied that the horse then present was not the same which had been stolen from Mr. Dorsett, and im- mediately discharged Mr. Rhodes out of custody. BELGIUM. Referring to the recent election of Prince Leopold as King of Belgium, a letter from Paris says— '' The decision of thc Belgian Congress, which I was enabled to announce to you in my letter of Sun- day last, before it was generally announced in Paris, has produced in Paris dissatisfaction, regret, and bitterness of feeling on the part of the French, to- wards England and the English government. Even capitalists view the measure with regret, and say that sooner or later, it must lead to a misunderstanding between France and England. The French ( speaking generally of them) have set their hearts upon Bel gium, and would make great sacrifices to procure it. The present government wisely consider that that union is at least not desirable for France ; but then the present administration cannot hold long; for already, independent of other reasons, the health of the President of the Council is much impaired by the anxieties and cares of his office, and he will be unable much loiigcr to conduct the public affairs. His retreat would of itself lead to the breaking up of the ca- binet. The French still entertain hopes that Prince Leopold will not go to Belgium, since, though they never will love England, yet they respect & fear her, and bave derived so much pecuniary advantage from tbe intercourse of the two nations since 1815, that they desire war with all the world in preference to war with Great Britain. " The news from Belgium is not of a satisfactory nature. The population is everywhere disappointed by the decision, and though hopes are still held out to the people of the probability of a war with Holland yet all classes unite in condemning ' the eighteen arti- cles. It is, I think, evident from the letters written by men of all parties lo their correspondents in Paris, that Prince Leopold has been only taken by the Bel- gians for the hour, and in order, through' hint', to ob- tain an extension of territory— and that when such object shall be obtained, Prince Leopold will be re- jected with as little justice and honour as was King William." j% ti3cellancou& Intelligence. Mr. Clarhe, Earl Grosvenor's Training Groom A paragraph is going thc round of the papers, Thomas Faulkner.— I live at the Bruok House, in I staling that Mr. Clarke, racing trainer to Earl Gros- the parish of Wednesbury ; two years ago IMr. Spittle sent a horse to my ley; it was a light brown ; the horse was with me twenty weeks; I was in the habit of seeing the horse four or five times a day. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr. Rhodes's attorney submitted that no case had been made out against his client, inasmuch as the horse lost was stated by the prosecutor and his witnesses to have been a brown horse, and four years old, and the horse then produced being a rich bay, and six years old. That he had often heard of horse- dealers making horses to appear younger, but he never knew of a horse being made to appear older than lie really was Mr. Rhodes was called upon for his defence, who stated, that two years last May, Mr. Tandy, a respectable horse- dealer, residing at Penn, called at his house at Ketley, on his way from Os- westry fair, and shewed him tbe horse now produced, which he purchased from him for £ 20, and he has ever since remained in his possession till he was taken away by the constable ( Partridge) on Thursday week last. Mr. Rhodes's attorney, desirous in the first instance simply to clear his client from the charge of felony, and not wishing to take up the time of fbe court unnecessarily by bringing forward the cor- roborating testimony of his numerous witnesses, called at first to support this statement the two following :— Edward Tandy I arn- a horse- dealer, anil reside at Penn. On the 12th of May, 1829, I attended Os. westry fair, and there purchased four or five horses; I have my horses entered in a book when I purchase them ; I cannot write myself; I there purchased a bay horse from a person of the name of Jones— tbe price was £ 17.10s.; I don't know where Mr. Jones lives, but I can find him ; the horse was four years old ; I brought him near to Shrewsbury, when I gave him into the charge of my servant, William Hill. 1 remained at Shrewsbury all that night, and iny servant and I came on home the next day ; we called at Mr. Rhodes's, of the Seven Stars, at Ketley ; I sold the horse now produced to Mr. Rhodes— he gave me £ 20 for it. I swear that the horse present is thc same which I sold to Mr. Rhodes. William Wallace.— I am a veterinary surgeon, venor's stud, was killed by the kick of a horse at the late Newcastle races. We are happy to be able to state, Mr. Clarke is in perfect health, and did not attend Newcastle Races.— Chester Chronicle. LARGE SKATE.— The shop of Mr. Anderson, fish- monger, attracted many visitors on Saturday last, to see an uncommonly large skate, which Mr. Anderson vvas about to cut up and dispose of to his customers. It was caught in the stake nets off Hopetoun House, a few miles to the westward of Queensferry. It weighed no less than 126lbs.; ahd measured, in length, 6 feet 8| inches; and in circumference, 11 feet 2 inches.— Stirling Advertiser. A statement lias been published, giving a view of tbe small amount of assessed taxes paid by some of the boroughs proposed to be disfranchised, when compared with such places as Birmingham, Man- chester, & e. aud giving this as a reason why one should not, and the other should be empowered to send representatives.— Those who argue the ques- tion thus would very easily come to a conclusion that must inevitably place the entire representation of ( he kingdom iu a certain number of populous cities and towns.— This is not, however, the consti- tution of England : and if such a mode were to pre. vail, how could the parties reconcile the circum- stance of a freeholder of £ r> a- year having one vote, while the freeholder of £ 5000 a- year has but one vote. According to their rule the latter should, for his property, have 1000 votes '. The annoyance of grass or weeds springing up between the stones of pavement, and ill gravel- walks, & c. may be got rid of for years by watering with solution of lime and sulphur iu boiling water. LATIN IN HUNGARY.— The only nation in the world in which the language of ancient Rome is at present spoken, is Hungary, in some parts of which Latin is used as a medium of conversation between all ranks of society. At the Quarterly Meeting of Ironmasters held at Birmingham, on Thursday week, it was resolved that a reduction should take place of 2s. ( id. on pig, and 10s. per ton oil bar- iron, which leaves the present price exactly what it was before tbe advance which took place on the previous quarter- day. A PROOF OF A BAD CAUSE.— The Morning Chronicle, which is the accredited organ of tbe Government, very liberally and modestly affirms, that " it holds every opponent of The Reform Bill " to be as much a thief and a robber in his heart; " as the bandit, who strips the traveller in Spain " and Italy. The motive which impels the tongue " of the one, is, the same that impels the knife of " the other."— It is generally acknowledged that ri cause may be considered good or bad; according to' the language in whichits supporters defend it.— That being the case, and such being the language of the official supporters of the Reform Bill; we may very safely consider that their cause is the reverse of it good one. Mr. Murray has given Messrs. Landers one thousand guineas for their Journal; this is some reward to cheer them after all the fatigues of their travel. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment on Friday In re Bedford Clthrity. The decision is im- portant as regards Charitable Trusts, namely, that " trustees shall in no instance make a profit of their office." A GOOD INDEX.— JI gentleman was wadipg through the index of some law reports the other day, and under the " G.' s" he found " great mind- Mr. Justice Best's," and knowing that his Lordship was not possessed of a very large body, he was naturally curious to learn something of the dimen- sions of his mind, and, turning to Ihe page referred to, he found the following:—" Mr. Justice Best said he had a great mind to commit John Thomas for the misdemeanour." France resembles a sick woman, who changes her position from side to side, without being able to find a place of ease, which she desires with so much ardour. Unfortunate Spain, loto'g desolated by ardent dissensions, sees again in her kingdom the spread nf the fatal germ of intestine wars. Holland sees with grief the fine provinces which conquest had attached to her throne, torn from her by rebellion. Great Britain and the Helvetic Confederation, so proud of their liberty, are delivered to the torch of incendiaries, and to Ihe horrors of civil discord. Warlike Poland, embroiled by civil war, is shedding her blood in torrents lo swell the Vistula. Desolation is spread throughout Italy, where rebels have even had the audacity fo menace Rome herself— the eternal city.— Mar. seilles Semaphore. GREAT TOM OF LINCOLN IN RUINS !— The bell— the whole bell— exists no longer. On Wed- nesday week, while some workmen were driving in a wedge in tbe progress of tracing a flaw, a large piece of the rim or skirt broke off, weighing 6 cwt. and about 8 feet long: the total weight broken off the bell is about nine cwt. Tom, whefis'entire, weighed 9894lbs. The project of restoring Ihe tone had been considered as abandoned before tbia, last occurrence. Visitors are pouring into Sidmouth from all directions. The Russiau Archduchess Helene, and her numerous suite are Ihe immediate, while ihe beautiful beach and neighbourhood form but secondary, attractions. The Princess occupies Woodbrook Cottage, the house in which the Duke of Kent died, and her numerous attendants reside in four houses in Fort Fields. The Eafeter trades- men, we hear, will be considerable gainers by Ihe Imperial visit. Plate has been hired of them for the Princess's use at the rate of six pounds a- day* while flowers are supplied at two pounds, for Hit same period.— Taunton Courier. THE GLOVE TRADE.— The members for this county and city, and for Hereford, attended ou Wednesday at the Treasury, and presented to Mr. Spring Rice a memorial from the glove trade, representing the injury done by the importation of foreign gloves. From what passed, it does not appear likely that the proposition for reluming to the prohibitory system will be acceded to ; but Mr, Rice intimated that any measures which were likely to protect Ihe trade should have the best attention of government, who were quite disposed to take any steps which would have ( he effect of preventing smuggling. Sooie propositions with that view will probably be submitted to the Lorda of the Treasury.— Worcester Journal. A STEAM CARRIAGE ON FIRE.— On Tuesday last, about three o'clock, as the steam- carriages, laden with merchandise, were making their journey on the rail- road between Liverpool and Manchester, one of them was discovered to be on fire, and Ihe flames found to be communicated to the properly which it was carrying. Before the fire could bo got under a considerable quantity of goods, chiefly cotton and woollens, were completely consumed. The fire had gained sneh a head before Ihe disco- very that every effort to extinguish it became vain. The carriage was separated from others to which it was linked, and of necessity left a prey to the devouring clement. DEATH BY DROWNING.— On Friday, ( he 8th instant, during the dinner hour, a young man named William Powell, employed in Earl Grosvenor's gar- dens at Eaton, went with two others of his fellow- workmen to bathe in that part of the river near the machine house. He swam across the river— and hail nearly reached the bank on his return, when either being exhausted, or attacked with cramp, to which he was subject, he called for help. One of the men, John Macolloch, went to his assistance, and it nearly cost him his life. The deceased seized him by the right arm, and both went down together, and Mac- olloch remained some time under the water before he could extricatc himself from tiie grasp of the de- ceased, and regain the shore. He and his affrighted comrade immediately gave the alarm, and in a few minutes Mr. M'Gregor, and all the men employed in the grounds and gardens were on the spot, with three boats, drags, and long garden rakes, but, although the most judicious means were adopted ( groping or sounding the river with long rakes) it was upwards of two hours before they succeeded in finding the body, when, of course, life was entirely extinct. The dc. ceascd was a fine young man, just turned 21 years of age, and was remarkably steady and well conducted in his situation. Mr. M'Gregor immediately dis- patched a messenger to convey the melancholy intel- ligence 10' the young man's father, who is, we believe, gardener to Sir Edward Kynaston, near Ellesmere. The body was taken ( o tbe Inn at Eccleston, where an inquest was held upon it. OPENING OF NEW LONDON BRIDGE.— The com- mittee for conducting the affairs of the new London bridge waited on his Majesty, on Friday last, at St. James's, for ( lie purpose of ascertaining whether hi* Majesty would be pleased to honour them with his presence at the ceremony of opening the new bridge, on Monday, the lst of August next.— Thc committee were received in Ihe most courteous manner by thc Earl of Minister, and shortly afterwards admitted into the presence of his Majesty, when ( hey s( ated the wishes of the citizens, and soliciting further that his . Majesty would be graciously pleased to honour his faithful citizens of London by partaking of a dinner at Ihe Guildhall. His Majesty heard them with patient attention, nnd, with the most affable con- descension entered into conversation with them. He stated that he highly approved of all their intentions, but that the heat of the weather precluded the possibility of bis enduring thc fatigue attendant on a procession through the city of London, and that lie must be in Windsor at eight o'clock in the evening of Ihe day specified, which would prevent Ihe possibility of his ditiing with them ; but that himself and Ihe Queen would repair to tbe bridge at the time specified by water, and would join in the procession for open- ing the bridge in all other respects as proposed hy the committee, who then withdrew, highly gratified with tbe reception they had met— Their Majesties and the Court will go and return by water, embark- ing and disembarking at Whitehall.
