By a LINCOLNSHIRE GRAZIER; assisted by Communications from several Yorkshire, Leicestershire, and Norfolk Farmers, Fifth Edition, revised, corrected, enlarged, and greatly improved^ In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr. O'Connell introduced a petition from Ihe Binning-, ham Political Union complaining of Ihe tardiness of the House with regatdfo Ihe Reform Bill, & c —' The Speaker said no petition distinctly alluding to tlie proceedings of thut House, as ihe due now before them did, could be received — The Cily of London Radicals, following the Birmingham example, in- tended also to have addressed Ihe Mouse, but, find- ing how ill their leaders succeeded, lliey have drawn in their horns, as have likewise some other sapient* that had intended lo fullow their example. This endeavour to intimidate, which is a part of Ihe revolutionary system long practised by the Radical party, is very well exposed iu the following ob-. servations;— . " WHAT THEN? is a question to be put when political bullies endeavour lo alarm Iheir opponents by menaces in Ihe shape of warnings. " Lei us apply il tolhe tumultuous movement in the country which is threatened, and uot indirectly solicited, by the newspapers on the Ministerial side, for Ihe purpose of hurrying fhe Reform Bill through parliament without discussion. " Suppose a considerable number of places should be induced to imitate the citizens of London, and hold meetings for the purpose of prescribing to the House of Commons how they should conduct Iheir debates— what then? Will ihe Opposition be in- duced by this most unconstitutional interference to abandon their own duties aud the public rights, and to puss the remainder of the Bill sub sitentio f Will even the Ministry dishonour themselves so far as to require that attention should be paid to dictates at once insulting ( o, parliament,.. and undutiful to the Sovereign who assembled Ihem for the purpose of deliber ation, and not of blind submission lo u sense- less urgency? Mere charity forbids the supposi- tion; and in Ihe mean time it will, perhaps, be discovered that Ihe pouring in of petitions is j„ Itself, not the most eftectlial mode of expediting pai liamentary business. " But it is said if these mandates are disregarded there will be treasonable insurrections in various parts of the cbuntry ; the black flag of Glasgow ( which has been so long talked of, as nurses tell children of " the black man,") will astonish Scotland, and there will be a band of Marseillois iu town from Manchester. We have now been so rnativ nonths ou the brink of " convulsion," according to our diurnal and weekly agitators, that these dangers have lost something of their hold 011 the imagina- tion ; but, supposing them realized, aud ( hat to a formidable extent, what would be Ihe consequence ? unquestionably the progress of the bill Would be suspended at oiice. " Motions and votes in a parliament; overawed by physical force, would be a mockery in which 110 English gentleman, no man of Ihe name, could he induced lo take part; and even if it were possible that a terrified legislature should compromise with' felons and traitors by a wholesale surrender of Ihe constitution, their acts might be jusily disavowed by Ihe country 011 the first return of social order. " Well then, it will be asked, is Ihe nation to be exposed in this dispute to the danger of bloodshed and revolution? The answer is, first, that the danger is more than questionable, notwithstanding the efforts of those w ho make it their chief argu- ment, and by so arguing do their utmost lo realize il. But the danger, whatever it is, must he en- countered. The frecdorti of debate iu parliament is openly threatened, and it is irretrievably lost if the menace now prove effectual. Already Ihe sug- gestion has been made of carrying Ihe Bill without the House of Lords; the present attempt is, virtu- ally, to carry it without the Commons. Were such a precedent once established, any proposed change in the representation would be a trifle not worth further dispute. " If the hazard of resistance Were even as great as it is hypocritically represented to be, that hazard must be incurred : if a stand is not to be made here what principle of the constitution, what portion o* English rights and liberties, is ever hereafter lo bo contended for? To be sure, the aggression is at. tempted in the name of the people; but this rule may be safely laid dow n, lhat in a measure essentially arbitrary the people can have no interest, though a popular faction may. The true advocates of ihe people are those who stand forw ard on this occasion for parliamentary liberty, l. ct Ihem be firm, and there will be 110 revolution : if ihey shrink, the revolution is begun already.'* EXPORT OF LIVE STOCK— TOLLS.

' WM. NOCK, So'. ic . or to the Assignees. The great occupation of the Highlands, it is well known, is the rearing of live slock, aud ihe staple trade of the country, its exportation to the southern markets, l-' roin time immemorial, from the period of Ihe Romans down lo the days of Rob Roy, and even within the last lliirty years, the whole of this export was made along the anrienf drove- way, through the centre of Ihe Highlands to the city of York, lu England, the line is still preserved, ex- tending south of Falkirk tu Yorkshire, and holding a direct course over ihe pastoral and mountain districts of the Borders. In Scotland, however, the prescriptive immemorial right of our countrymen was gradually infringed upon, and ultimately taken away; local turnpike acts were procured, enabling- road trustees, in the intervening Scottish counties, to interrupt the right of way, aud from less to more the hardship went oil increasing, till nt length llie Highlander was completely shut out of his ancient path ; he was then compelled lo lake the dry, dusty, turnpike road, which is miserably ill- accommodaled with suitable resting places for the slock, and where, in addition to iteavy and increasing lull- dues, great numbers of the sheep die from fright and fatigue; Ihe wild mountain animal, introduced at once from the solitary glen and hill aide lo the various objects of a public highway, the coaches, carriages, & c. which perpetually interrupt their progress, are thrown into a disease which the shepherds very aptly term " the trembling," the sheep literally tremble lo death; out of one drove we have heard of stoves falling of this disease. Had such a consummation taken place in Ihe days of Ihe " gentle Lochiel,*' or before the " Forty- five," a host of claymores would have answered the demand, aud a gentle foray have been commenced by way of reprisal; but in these days of reason and reflection, when every movement is made by the people through the constituted authorities, u very different effect hus followed. IMagistrutea and landed proprietors have been appealed to, and have joined in ihe universal wish for a reduction of the burden, by taking steps for the recovery uf lhe old right of way, securing an abatement of loll- dues, or the introduction of steam navigation for the conveyance of slock from Ihe north. In accordance wilh this sentiment a public meeting was held during our Great Pair on Thursday last, iu the large room of the Caledonian Hotel, tor ihe consideration of the subject— Sir G. S. Mackenzie in the chair. Several extensive landed proprietors in the north, and factors, were present, in uddi'iou to Ihe sheep farmers and catlle dealers assembled at Ihe market. Afler some conversation, it vvas resolved, upon tlie motion of Gleninorristou, | y appoint a committee for obtaining further inform-*-, tion on the subject, and otherwise promoting tho object they had in view.

Yesterday alYelrinon, about lriilf past live o'clock, the Aid de Ciimp of General De Tabor, Commander nftlie forces at Antwerp, arrived at tbe Palace of the King al Liege, with the following dispatch r — " Citadel nf Antwerp, Angus! 1. « ' M. li' General,— In conformity witli orders from superior authority, and which I have this day received, 1 have the honour to make yon acquainted that, agree- able to the terms in the ratification of the Convention which regulates the suspension of hostiij, ies between i" e citadel jinil the town of Antwerp, bearing date! November 5, IR-' IO, his Majesty the King of the Nether- lands has decided on recommencing noslilities; the Suspension of hostilities wi: h the citadel being thus denounced, as it is by this document, the renewal of hostilities will therefore take, place upon these terms in twenty- four hours, viz. on Tluusday, the 4th day ofthe present month of August, al half- past nine in the evening. " In thus Conforming myself to these conventions, 1 calculate that the same will lie equally observed on your part, rrlid I ought also to make you acquainted* that should it'not be strictly observed- that should our commiimca'ions be intercepted, or works commenced by you during this period,- 1- shall then proceed immedi- ately to hostilities. " Receive, Sir, the expression of my Consideration. " The General of infantry, Superior Commander ofthe Citadel of Antwerp, " Baron CHASSE." His Majesty having read the dispatch, imnndiately called a Council of such Ministers and Generals as were with liiin; fortunately General de Failly, the Minister of War, was amortgSI them After a deliberation of about an hour, Couriers and ordinances were sent off'to the different fortresses for all the troops lhat possibly could be spared to march to the frontiers. All the officers and men who had furlouehs were also ordered to immediately join their regiments. It " as also decided that his Majesty should return without delay to Brussels, and horses were ordered for eight o'clock, at which hour his Majesty left Liege, with the Minister of War, in his carriage. It is impossible to describe the sensation the news created at Liege, and the shout of " Vive le Roi!" at the King's departure were stronger thart at his entry. It appears that the Dutch have already commenced hostilities, and have taken three villages on Ihe frontiers of Flanders. This morning all the artillery which Impossibility could be collected in Ibis city nnd the surrounding towns were sent off" for Antwerp. All the infantry, a great portion of the Civic Guard, and Ihe Chastelcr Chasseurs had also left for the same place. The consternation of Ihe inhabitants of Antwerp is dreadful; they are flying iu all directions, and the poor are removing their litllc furniture and clothing. They proceed as far out of town'as possible. Tiie King entered Brussels at half past four this morning. His suite did not arrive till half past ten for want of horses. Immediately on their arrival a Cabinet Cou cil was held, and afterwards a Council of War. His Majesty is expected to leave for Antwerp every instant. General Tabor's proclamation to the ihhhbitarits, just posted on the ' Change at Antwerp, is as follows: " That ( he communication by wat<; r being inter- rupted, the letters for England are to be put into the post- office immediately after ' Change; no vessel can henceforth passup the Scheldt, as the Dutch prevent it."" ORDER OF THE HAY. " The General of Brigade, Commander- in- Chief of the city and environs of Antwerp, apprises the inhabit- ants tliat the armistice between the city and citadel will cease on Thursday, the 4th inst. at half- past nine in the evening: and that from that date hostilities may be recommenced without further notice. " Citizens and Soldiers,— I rely on your prudence as much as oil your courage, lo refrain, for your own sikes. and tinder the most, severe penalties, from every hostile demonstration, except by iny express orders, which will not be withheld when the emergency requires it. " Inhabitants of Antwerp,— I flatter myself that in these circumstances you will continue to me Ihe confi- dence with which you have honoured me to this day. Take every measure which prudence and your own l. nerests may recommend to you, and rely on the civil and military authorities for the protection of your persons and property. " Antwerp, August 2."

" ' I'he proofs of fidelity and attachment you have already shown are guarantees lo the King and the country, as well as lo myself, of the courage you will evince in the field of battle, s'lonld you be called upon, as will probably lie the case in a lew days, to demand, bv force of arms, equitable conditions for a separation of that [ iart of the kingdom which has withdrawn from the government of the Prince for whom wc are willing to sacrifice our lives and fortunes. " By resorting to force, the King does not put a stop to tlje negotiations, which are goin^ on, although they have hitherto proved fruitless. His Plenipotentiaries at the London . Conference will continue to advocate and support the rights ofthe nation. il As for myself, when I recollect the bravery of so many old fellow- comrades of every rank whom I still see around me, and when I refer to the history of our country, which tells me what I may expect from its volunteers and burgher guard, I feel that the weight of the important trust confided to me by the King will be greatly lightened by your courage. " Since Qualre Bras and Waterloo we have not been placed in such . i situation as now unites us. Many important events have taken place since then, for the most part fortunate for this kingdom; but during the la< t twelve months Circumstances ofthe most distressing nature to the country have occurred; and my duty, and the will of the King, have called npon me lo take part in the state affairs of the Netherlands. All my efforts have been directed to ward off the evils that were likely to fall upon the kingdom, and whioli we no V experience; btit, as the means I made use of have not produced a favourable result, I find I deceived myself in the choice of them.

The motives which influenced me were of Ihe purest nature; lint I now hope to prove lo you, sword in hand, that the. blood of the House of Nassau yet flows in my veins,, and that no sacrifice shall be ioo ^ reat for me to secure the independence of our native and, for which our ancestors so often successfully con- tended against superior numbers. with England, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and t' circumstances being urgent, complies with the demand of the King of the Belgians ; and will cause the en- gagements to be respected, which have been taken in common accord with the Great Powers " Marshal Gerard commands the army of the north, which is inarching to the aid of Belgium, whose neu- trality and independence are to be maintained.

" Belgians!— On taking possession of the throne, lo which the national will has called me, I said, oil my addressing the representatives of Belgium— " ' If, notwithstanding all the sacrifices made to pre- serve peace, we shall be menaced with war, I should not hesitate to appeal to the courage of the Belgic people, and I hoped that thev would all, and together, rally round their chief, for the defence of the country and the'independence of the nation.' " These words 1 this day address to all Ihe nation. " Without a previous declaration, the enemy have suddenly recommenced hostilities, thereby despising and breaking at one lime the engagements resulting from the suspension of arms and the principles that regulate civilized people. " They have not hesitated to perpetrate the most odious breach of the law of nations, and by a surprise they wish to gain some momentary advantages. They are the same men whom you conquered in September; they now appear in the midst of ) » > accfnl districts, pre- ceded by devastation and incendiarism. " Strong in the conviction of our right, we shall repel this unexpected aggression— we shall oppose force to force. " Already once yon overcame Holland; you com- menced Ihe revolution by victories; you will consolidate it by victories ; you will not prove unworthy of our glonoiis recollections.

The King of France received iutell gence lale on Wednesday night, that on Thursday evening, the 4fb of August, at half past nine o'clock, the King of Holland intended lo recommence hostilities against Belgium. Early on Thursday morning a special couricr reached fhe French government, with an antr graph letter from King Leopold, announcing the declaration of war on the pari of Holland, and claiming from Frante the assistance of an army, to maintain Ihe independence and neutrality which was promised lo Belgium by the great powers. At nine o'clock on the same morning the King held n council at Ihe Palais Royal, when all the ministers of M. Casimer Perier's administration attended, in- cluding the President himself, and determined lo remain in office under the present emergency, until the debate upon Ihe address in Ihe Chamber of Deputies. It was also resolved that General Gerard, al the head of 50,000 French troops, should im- mediately march lo Ihe aid of the King of Belgium. The decision was transmitted on Thursday to llie military garrisons in the direction of the norihern frontier by Ihe Minister of War, and it was expected that before sunset on ' I hursdav this army would be in actual advance upon Belgium. The field equipage of General Gerard had left Paris, and the General was to follow on Ihe next morning. The following is the official announcement of the on it ear, which was published in a sccond edition, late on Thursday. It was, at the same time, sent lo the Directors of the Exchange by the Minister of Finance, where it was at once surrounded by crowds of commercial men, amongst whom it caused the greatest agitation. ( From the Second'Edition of the Moniteur.) " The King of Holland has denounced the armistice, and announced the resumption of hostilities again t the Belgians, this evening at half- past nine o'clock. " This morning at five o clock, the Ki g has received a letter from the King of the Belgians, who demands of liitn the aid of a French army. " The King having recognized the independence of the kingdom of Belgium, and her neutrality, in concert HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. The House having resolved itself into a Commillee, arter some desultory conversation, the following districts were added to Schedule C :— Wolverhampton, including the townships of Wolvcr hampfon, Bilston, Willenhall, Wcduesfield, and the parish* of Sedgley, Staffordshire. The Tower Hamlets, including the parishes of the Tower division, Middlesex.

St. Mary NeWington, Berniondsey, Rolher- hithe, and Camberwell. The question lhat Schedule C stand as a clause in the hill was then put and carried — thus establishing five electoral districts, and conferring on theni ten representatives. On Schedule D being entered upon, a discussion arose relative lo the claims of Stoke- upon- Trent ( com- prising the Potteries district) to fwo representatives, instead of one as proposed by Ministers; and Mr LITTLETON at length moved that Stoke- upon- Trent be transferred fo Schedule C, by which that object would be obtained. The proposition was supported by Sir JOHN YVitoTf FSLF. Y, Mr. EDMUND 1' EFL, Lord ING: SIRIE, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Mr. Gis- BORNE; but was resisted bv Lord Al. THORP and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who declared that Ihe case of the Polteries had received every due consideration, and the motion was eventually negatived on a division of 200 to 105. It was next proposed by Lord JOHN RUSELL to fill up the blank in the clause referring to Schedule 1) with one member. Lord MILTON then moved his amendment to substitute two. Sir ROBERT PEEL supported the amendment, and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Lord ALTIIORP opposed it. On a division fhe numbers were— for the original motion 230, for ( he amendment 102. The blank was consequently ordered lo be filled up with Ihe word " one." The Chairman then reported progress, and the house ruse shortly before two o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY.

The CHANCELLOR i f the EXCHEQUER, in refer- cn e to a notice which bad been given by Sir Richard Vyvyan of his infenfii n to move for certain papers relating to foreign affairs, said that he had now to submit fo the hon. bart. the expediency of postponing Hint motion, lie was perfectly willing to give the hon. bart. full credit for his expressed desire not, fo embarrass his Majesty's government, and in what it was bis intention to address lo Ibe house, he was quife certain lhat every thing of thatsort would have been avoided. But he could not help feeling seri- ously apprehensive, in the present critical slate of Europe, that, such a discussion would be allended with inconvenient consequences. lie made this request lo the hon. baronet, he might say, on his own account, as he had not had an opportunity of con- sulting with more than one or two of his colleagues. Sir RICHARD VYVVAN said, that he must confess that the request of fhe noble lord placed him in a very awkward situation ; for lie was tbe last man in the house who was inclined to embarrass the proceed- ings of ministers. It was his intention to move for certain papers, copies of which had long been in his possession, and which bail been circulated all over Europe, and not for any documents respecting the existing negociations. He could not, therefore, see fhe possibility of any danger whatever arising from pressing his motion. He was the more induced to do so, on account of tbe news that bad been received this morning from Paris, and from an apprehension, lie feared but too well founded, that Ministers intended adopting similar steps. He greatly feared that his Majesty's government intended to adopt measures inimical lo the best interests of the country, and such being his feeling, he was very sorry that he could not comply with the uoble lord's request. MARCH OF THE I'RFNCII TROOPS. The Marquis of CHAN Dos, seeing Ihe noble Secre- tiry at War in his place, wished to ask whether government had received intelligence of tbe march of the French troops into Belgium, and whether that step had received the sanction of our government? Lord PALMERSTON.— His Majesty's ministers have this morning received a dispatch from Lord Granville, our ambassador at Paris, in which he communicates the fact, tbat the French army had been ordered to march, upon hearing that the King of the Netherlands had ordered his army to attack Belgium, for the purpose of preserving the neutrality and indepen- dence of lhat state. The Marquis of CilANDos wished further fo in- quire whether King Leopold had made a similar application to our government for assistance, as he had made to the King of France. Lord PALM ERSTON replied, that w hen the King of the Belgians understood that the King of the Nether- lands was about to violate the armistice, the King of the Belgians communicated that fact to all the Five Powers, and, of course, also to this country. Lord STORMONT wi- hed to know from fhe noble Secrelarv for Foreign Affairs whether Ihe marching of the French troops was sanctioned by the British government ' Lord PAI. MFRSTON said that the only reply that he could make to the noble lord was lo repeat his former statement that his Majesy's government were not aware ofthe fact until this very day. when it was communicated by the English ambassador at Paris. Lord . STORMONT.— What 1 wish to know is, was Ibis step sanctioned by Ihe English government pre- viously to iis being adoptid ? Lord PALMi RSTON said that it \ yas impossible^ for previous agreement to be entered inlo upon an event that no one could by possibility foresee, The five great powers had agreed to guarantee Ihe neu- trality and Ihe integrity of Belgium, and iu conse- quence of that, and on the King of Ihe Netherlands breaking Ihe armistice, the French troops had marched to ( lie assistance of the Belgians Sir R. PEI L said, lhat lie was quite snre fhat his noble friend would forgive him for furnishing him vvilb an opportunity of selling himself right incase l. e should have been mi- understood. His noble friend h. id spoken of llie King of the Netherlands violating ( he armis'ice; now he supposed that either of tbe parties could, by giving the necessary notice, terminate of right any armistice; and when the noble lord spoke of violating and breaking, it might possibly lead to some mi- conception. Lord I'ALMF fiSTON was obliged to the right lion, bart. for an opportunity of explaining any iucorrect- ness if he had inadvertently fallen into one; but lie thought tbe right boh. bart misapprehended the real facts of the transaction. Here were indeed two armistices— one a local one respecting Antwerp, and I he other a general one, lo which Holland and Belgium on the one part, and fhe five great powers on the oilier were parlies. Now the King of the Netherlands had broken ( he latfer armistice, but up to the moment that lie Was now speaking, Ihe British government, had received no official Intelligence from that mbftai- clt of his intention*. Sir R. Pi EL said his only object was to prevent any misunderstanding. Lord ELLIOT wished to call Ihe attention of the noble lord to the proclamation of the King of the Netherlands, in which he expressly refuses to agree fo the regulations adopted respecting the throne of Belgium, and in which be stated that whatever prince might ascend thai throne he should look upon as his enemy ; and he wished to inquire whether that might not be looked upon as notice of breaking the armistice. The noble lord had talked about the five treat powers guaranteeing fhe independence of Belgium ; now he wished to know whether this guarantee was not contingent upon their acceptance of certain conditions. Lord PALMFRSTON said that, the extract which the noble lord had read from a proclamation of his Dutch Majesty was perfectly correct. The fact was, that there were two set* of propositions, the first of which \ were accepted by one party and refused by the oilier, and the second series was accepted by the party that had refused fhe'former, and reftis il by Ibe party lhat had agreed fo fhe other. Under these circumstances Ihe five great powers look the only- step that remained for theiti. They invited the Kings of Holland and Belgium each to send over a plenipotentiary wiih full powers to negociate and agree upon all disputed points. The King of the Netherlands had done so, and his minister had arrived, and which was done contemporaneously with his ordering his troops to march, bill it formed nn part of the instructions of Ihe plenipotentiary to com- municate tbat fact lo his Majesty's government. Lord ELLIOT still wished to know whether the guarantee was not a contingent one. Lord PALM ERSTON said that all he could add was, that tbe five great powers had agreed lo guarantee fhe independence of iielgium. Sir R. VYVYAN.- In consequence of what has passed, the house will see the absolute necessity of my pressing my moli- n. Lord 1' ALMFRSTON said lhat no one could be less disinclined to give Ihe most ample information upon every subject to Ihe house, and no one more ready fo enter into a defence of his Majesty's government whenever the course of policy they adopted was questioned. But he must submit to Ihe house, that in common delicacy, af a moment w hen negociations were pending, w hether il was placing government in a fair situation In call upon ministers to enter upon fheir defence. He could not conceal from himself ( hat such a course was calculated to lead to very considerable eniharassment. Sir R. VYVYAN inquired whether the noble lord would give liini some early day next wei k. Surely, when for Ihe purpose of the Reform Bill ministeis chose to force members down to tbe house at twelve o'clock, they might be able to spare a day next week fo take info consideration Ihe important affairs of Belgium. His object was, if possible, lo prevent war; hut if that calamity could not be avoided, to place England in a situation where she could diclafe h* r own terms. Perhaps, however, the noble lord would answer him one question. Was it the intention of his Majesty's ministers to send the fleet now in the British channel lo the coasf of Holland? This he thought was a fair question, and if Ihe noble lord did not choose to answer it, then he would wash his hands of Ihe conscqnences that could not fail to result. He meant the consequences of war, in which the country n ight he placed in less than 48 hours. It was on behalf of ( lie people of England that lie spoke, and to avert, if possible, a second edition of the battle of Navarino. No government had been treated more friendly than fhe present one, and that of the Duke of Wellington which preceded it; but now that the great crisis that had been so long anticipated had arrived— when negociations which had been so long pending were broken up— when hostilities had'indeed actually commenced,— surely it was not premature to ask these questions. Lord PALMERSTON was far from wishing jo deny fhe kindness with which the house had always treated ministers But he could not see the propriety of answering questions as to what were Ihe intention* i f his Majesty's government respecting the forces by sea or land. They were responsible for ( heir measures, and he was quite sure Ihe house would think that he ought not lo answer the question proposed by the hon. baronet. One thing, however, he Wished fo correct. The hon. member appeared to assume that all negociafions were at an end, and that England was on ( lie eve of a war; now he begged the hou- e to believe no such thing. Since the present ministers had held office it had been their anxious desire and unremitting exertion to maintain an honourable peace. They were yet labouring to preserve that blessing, and nothing lhat has hitherto happened led him to believe that their exertions would be unsuc- cessful. ( Loud cries of hear, hear J Sir R. VYVYAN then withdrew his mofion for to- day, but shortly after renewed it for Tuesday next REFORM BILL. The House having resolved itself inlo Committee on the Reform Bill, Ibe first question put was that Kendal should stand part of Schedule D;'; « bich after a few observations was agreed to The next question was, " tbat Walsall, including the borough and foreign of Walsall, also stand part of the schedule." Mr. CROKER rose in pursuance of a notice that he had given, and moved that the town of Wednesbury be added to Walsall. Lord JOHN IU SSEI. L did not think any case had been made out in favour of Wed neshury. Walsall alone had 15,000 inhabitants. » liich entitled it to be placed in the schedule by itself. Wednesbury possessed an exclusive jurisdiction Sir R. PEEL thought it extraordinary that if Ministers had such great desire for population representation, they should refuse to add Wednesbury to Walsall. He thought it would lie an improvement, and entirely in accordance with the principle of the bill.— The question that Walsall, including the borough and foreign of Walsall only, stand part of Schedule D, was, however, agreed to Oil Ihe question that Whitehaven, including Work ingjon, stand part of tbe schedule, Mr. CROKER moved an amendment that Workington be left out of the clause, as being eight miles distant from White- haven. The Committee divided— for the amendment I. QS'against it 101— majority 44 Mr. LITTLETON expressed a hope that members on his side would not lie led io resort to a retaliation of what had laken place. Several other members spoke, and from Iheir observations it was inferred, that many members who intended to support fhe original resolution had been excluded in consequence of the Chairman having put the question before they had entered the house. The CHAIRMAN declared that he had no notion when he put the question, that it was intended to divide. Mr CROKER said he had no idea of concealing his de- termination to divide, or of taking the committee by surprise. The original resolution was agreed to. Mr. D. ( in, BERT moved that Penzance be added fo Schedule B — Lord J. RUSSELL said. Ministers had made Ihe best selection they could of the places to return members, and he could not see any peculiar claim Pcnzance had to be included— Mr. GILBERT withdrew his motion. Mr. WASON thought Toxtelh Park was well en- t it led to have a representative in that house. It had a larger population than sixteen of the places in Schedule D, and more £ 10 houses than nineteen of the- boroughs in the same schedule. The shipping interest of Toxteth Park was infinitely greater than that of Gateshead. The Hon. Genl. moved that Toxteth Park be placed in Schedule D. Lord ALTHORP said, if enfranchisement were to be re- gulateil merely by trade and population, there were several places that had a stronger claim than Toxteth Park. Mr. EWART said, in proximity, in trade, and all ( lie relations of life, Toxteth Park was identified with Liverpool, and he thought Ihey should not be separated by giving them separate representatives Mr. WASON withdrew his motion. The next question was then put, that Weymouth and Melconibe Regis return fwo members only. Mr. B. WALL and Mr. EWART objected to the motion. Weymouth had in ancient times contributed largely lo file emergencies of the slafe, and there were other and more modern circumstances which loudly called for its being kept out of the schedule. After a few words from Mr. PoRTMAN, the original motion was carried, and the clause agreed to. 1 lie House resumed, and Ihe Chairman obtained leave ( o sit again on Tuesday.— Adjourned at half, past six o'clock." jPOSTSCRIir T LONDON, Tuesday Morning, August 9, 1831 been from Ihe first at war with his rebel subjects, i though, in order to obtain an accommodation, he ] consented to a suspension of actual conflict while any ! hope of accommodation should remain; that hope was extinguished when the rebels refused, not only hi< reasonable demands, but the ( as against him most unreasonable) stipulations of the mediating Powers. Tbe war then revived, as, of course, all that was to be expected from him was the formal notice which he has given ; and policy as well as duty to his subjects of his si ill faithful provinces demanded of him to open the campaign with vigour. It is amazing, indeed beyond any ordinary occasion of wonder, to hear a British foreign secretary rise iu bis place, and saying, tbat, though fifty thousand French troops have passed their frontier without, as it appears, the concurrence or knowledge of any other government, the event was One not calculated upon by tbe British cabinet. Did'not Prince Talleyrand ever mention the preparation of these troops? Did no traveller tell Lord Palmerston that stich troops were cantoned on the Belgian line ? Does his lord- ship never read the newspapers? It is impossible that all these questions can be answered in the negalive, and ( hen comes fhe obvious but startling question — Did not Lord Palmerston ever ask, what was the purpose of such a formidable armament? In other times, the assembling of such a force, in such a place, would have thrown all Europe, and chiefly England, into a hurry of military preparation. Jurists unanimously concur in saying thai such an armament is ample cause of war. Yet Lord Pahnerston tell in language that cannot be mistaken, that he never put a question upon the subject. We say in language lhat cannot, be mistaken, because, if the ubject had ever been agitated, Lord Palmerslon could not have been unprepared for the part that France designed her army to take, in every event, least of all in that event, which was most obvious It appears, moreover, that a perfect understanding had previously existed between the Belgian and the French governments; for France and England are, it is confessed, the only states applied to ; though Prussia, a slate nearer than either France or England to the threatened frontier— though Austria, a state for all efficient military purposes nearer than England were as much parties to the arrangement, in pre- tended vindication of which France has marched her hosts. Why were France and England the only slates applied lo ? Because France was the parent of the whole scheme; France would do the Work herself, as she would reap the whole profit; and England, besides that she is now believed to be the common gull of every jacobin project, could not, if she were able, interpose in lime to snatch tbe prey from its first captor.

In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Gordon having moved that a new writ should issue for the election of Members for Dublin, Mr. Cressett Pelham, considering that, under the circumstances, Dublin ought to be treated as Liverpool, moved that the question should be adjourned till that day week.— On a division, Mr. Pelham's amendment was negatived by a majority of 7G to 51.

WAR BETWEEN HOLLAND AND BELGIUM [ From the Standard.] The opening of Ihe new French war against Ihe peace and liberties of Europe, leaves little room for any olher consideration We need not press lite fact upon Ihe attention of our readers, but Ihe arts em- ployed by Hie enemies of England, and of good order ihroughout the world, warn us of the necessity of keeping the case steadily before the public in its true light. The facl is, that France is now resuming thai war against Ihe liberties of Europe in which Welling- ton foiled her, as we fully hoped, finally, in 1815; but she has re commenced her operations by a slroke of treachery as base as lhat which gave her the femporarv possession of Ihe crown of Sp in in 1807. If Lord Grey has not played Ihe part of Godoy in corruption, his utter incapacity has been as service- able to the ambilion of France, in 1S31, as the sordid dishonesty of the Prince nf Peace was in 1807. He has become over- reached by the jacobin objects of his admiration in Paris and in Brussels, and a new European war, in which France embarks with all Ihe advantages on her side which a surprise can give her, is the result. Let ns, however, examine ti e flimsy pretext by which it L attempted to obscure from fhe people of England Ihe terrible war lhat overhangs the cou- th ent. Lord Grey's cabinet, forsooth, did not make any provision as to how the allies ought lo deal wi( h ( he rupture of tbe Dutch armistice, because they did not foresee it. Provident Cabinet! They saw a vast army collected on tiie norihern frontier of France ; Ihey saw an absolute relaxation of all preparation on llie side of the rebel provinces of Ihe Netherlands; Ihey saw that Ihe King of the Netherlands was making- formidable provisions for war— and, concurrently with these demonstrations, they saw ( he insolence of Ihe Belgian rebels, all helpless as they were, proceed- ing lo ( lie most extravagant pitch; they saw lliese rebels, whose utter inability to help themselves is the pretext of the French invasion, rising daily in their demands, now insisting upon Ihe Luxemburg: now- insisting upon Ihe free navigation of the Scheldt, now- upon the possession of the citadel of Antwerp, again upon Linibnrg. This they saw without any necessary exercise of foresight ; and what would any man of common sense deduce from these phenomena ? Why, that Belgium was insolent and rapacious, because she knew that France was prepared to support the rebellion which France bad, for her own purposes, fomented— that France had made those vast pre. parations which have enabled her to act with such alarming promptitude in order to avail herself of the first opportunity lo resume the enterprise of subduing Europe. But, then, Lord Palmerston has said fhat be did not expect that Ihe King of the Netherlands would terminate the armistice. And why not, Lord Pal- merston ? An armistice — ex ri termini, implies but a pause in war. The King of the Netherlands lias MARRIED. On the 28th tilt, in London, the Rev. F.

HORSE- STEALING. The Fourth Anniversary of the Oswestry Society for. the Prevention of Horse- Slealing was celebrated oh the 1st inst. when a numerous company sat down to an excellent dinner at Osburn's Hotel.— In a report lhat was read to the society allusion w- as made to the comparative exemption which tbe vicinity of Oswestry. .. had enjoyed, during tbe last two years, from Ihe crime of horse- stealing, and occasion was taken to congratulate the society on the spirited and indefa- tigable exertions of its members, which had, doubt- less, contributed no little to such a happy result. A very just enlogium was also passed OIL certain mem- bers who had been called upon to act during the past year, and who ( though fhe information on which they were sent off" was subsequently found to be erroneous) exhibited so much promptitude and per- severance, as to evince on their part a most- laudable anxielv for the promotion of Ibe true objects and . interests of the Association.— In addition to the ori- ginal pfafi of the society, that an immediate pursuit be established on the principle of mutual Co operation and assistance, it was agreed at this meeting, that two- active police officers should be sent off ( at the ex- pense of the society, and on every occasion,) along any particular route to which the attention of the society may have been directed by previous observa- tion or information; also, that they should have opportunities afforded them of making themselves acquainted wiih different routes leading from <* iwes- Iry to any distance, and that they should make themselves known to, and enter into arrangements With, the principal officers or constables of each tow- n • or place within the circuit of operations, so that, on any alarm being given, the whole country to a very, considerable distance may be placed under surreil* lance.— Other improvements, for accelerating pursuit and maintaining communications with each other at different places, were enlarged upon and explained to Ihe members; and in consideration ofthe flourish- ing state of the funds, it was agreed lhat the reward hitherto offered be increased to £ 50, and that an additional reward of £ 10 be given for the mere apprehension of flic offcndi rs, or recovery of the stolen property.— Viewing the persevering energy of ' the members of this society, we cannot but approve of the very praiseworthy efforts made by them in attaining the objects of Iheir institution; and wc confidently anticipate, from plans apparently so well organized and combined, aided by exertions so meri- torious and energetic, that the most useful and suc- cessful results must ensue. ins n To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Sin, Shrewsbury, August 9, 1831. The ready pari you have always taken in com- municat ng information respecting the different cha- rities connected with our town and neighbourhood, induces me to address you on behalf of one of its institutions, which, if not so splendid and imposing as some of ( hem, is neither less efficient, nor less valuable. I refer fo tbe SICK MAN'S FRIEND, AND LYING- IN CHARITY: a charily whose designs are too well known lo need description ; and whose unpretend- ing and arduous exertions have obtained considerable patronage, and confidence. The usefulness which has visibly attended iis movements has kept alive the 7. al which actuated its earliest friends; and when i' is considered lhat the work of fhe society is done g a'luitously; that the committee of direction by assembling weekly aim at vigilance and caution in t! ie administration of the funds; and tbat those funds are dispensed with strict impartiality; — the claims it has to support arc obviously great. Notwithstanding this, Ihe Society, as I have lately been informed, is in a most painful slale of need. The demands npon it, owing to the sickly condition ofthe poor, have since the anniversary last October been unusually pressing. Nor I ins there ever, since its formation, been a period at this season, when the visiting' list lias been so large as it is at present. A heavy debt, has, consequently, been incurred, and it is distressing- to anticipate the results, if timely assistance be not given. Allow me to enquire, through your Journal, from the friends of humanity in Shrewsbury, if this exi gency cannot be, nay if it ought not to be, met? There are not a few, 1 am persuaded, who, when aware of the state of tbe case, will step forward, and relieve so deserving a society from embarrassment Former experience, indeed, renders doubt on this subject next to impossible, or various considerations should be urged by way of inducement.

From the great quantities of sea- kelp thrown on this part of the coast, the invalid who is suffering from pulmonary complaints may expect the ' greatest relief; there being every reason to infer lhat the benefit which persons afflicted with these diseases usually experience from a sea- side residence is to be ascribed to inhaling the vapour of Iodine disseminated : through the atmosphere, the odour being very percep- tible to the olfactory nerves in walking over a' mass of this substance on a hot summer day, while the pecu- liarly exhilarating effects may fairly'be traced to this source.— ARRIVALS:— The Earl of Hillsborough, Miss Sturt, Mr. Badson and family, Hon.

SIR, The various accidents,- and ruinous expenses, that have occurred by the introduction into churches of flues and other apparatus for heating building*, would, it might have been thought, have prevented further attempts to burden parishes with these dan- gerous and in almost all cases inexpedient incum- brances. At a meeting of the Trustees of St. Chad's Church, in this town, yesterday, it was, however, as I am informed, resolved, by a majority of one only, to introduce 4he heating apparatus into that church ; liul, as the Parishioners have a voice in this malter, nnd as no parish meeting has been called, and they have in no way been consulted upon tbe subject, 1 trust they will not passively consent to be burdened with an outlay of £ 300, or perhaps £ 400, with all the contingent dangers and annual expenses; on the contrary, 1 hope they will prevent this unnecessary waste of their funds, and, if there is any spare money, cause it to be appropriated to the reduction of the church debt, or let the rale be reduced in proportion to the sum thus intended to be squandered.

Although the business transacted in this market lias not been to a vast extent this morning,. yet there is con- siderable activitv displayed, and the buyers and sellers are struggling whether the advance in wheat shall be Is. or 2s. per q" irter. In some instances Is. advance has been'obtained, and for fineold wheat 2s. per quarter improvement has been obtained. New wheat fully supports our previous quotations, 79s. per quarter is the. highest quotation. The supply of both wheat and oats this morning is short. In the oat trade we may quote an advance of Is. per quarter for fresh oats, and old- beans fetch rather more money than on this day week. Rape- seed is £ 25 to £ 28 per last. In barley and other grain we can quote no variation. Current Price of Grain per Qr. as under:— Wheat. "> » • Ul1- U> 74s.

On Tuesday the market was very dull at a decline on the cnrreucy of Hie previous week of 3d. to 4d. per 701bs. nn Wheat, 2d. per 4-') lbs. on Oats, Is. per barrel on Flour, and as much per load on Oatmeal. Some qdantity of Foreign Flour was disposed of, but the sales were chiefly iu retail. Since that day the trans- actions have been very limited, but in consequence of a report that the crop oi' Wheat will prove defective, and alwt. of the warlike appearance On the continent, hold- ers hai'e shewn more firmness, and have sthidily per- sisted iu demanding fully Tuesday's rates, which, nt our market yesterday, ( the first held oil a Friday,) were given by both town and country millers, for some quantity of the finer descriptions of Foreign Wheat. Oats were also in increased demand, and three or four thousand barrels of sweet American Flour were dis- posed of from 31s. to 32s. Gd. per barrel. There were also some speculative inquiries for the low sorts of Irish Wheats at 5s. 9d. to Os.; but holders generally refused to take such prices, and but few purchases were effected. The bonded market has also ruled rather heavy. On Tuesday, 2,000 quarters of Wheat were sold by auction, say 500 quarters inferior Dantzic at 4s. 2d. and 1,500 quarters St. Petersbnrgh soft and hard at 5s. 3d. por. 70lbs.

By a curious coincidence the E - Presi lent Monroe died on the same day that his Cjuiitr/ men were celebrating the anniversary of that establishmei t which his exertions had contributed to confirm ; and it is remarked by the American Papers, that three out of the four Presidents dead since the beginning of their republic have died on the same day. Mr. Monroe was seventy- two years of age.

It is of importance to know, that the laws of America enable persons to procure satisfaction from swindlers of this description. The Leicester Chronicle states that several worthies of the same description as Shipley, natives of that town and neighbourhood, are residin" in and near Philadelphia. POISONOUS PLANTS. Important io Agriculturists and ihe Public. In a lecture recently ilelivered- at. Manchester, Mr. Wliillaw enumerated the various poisonous plants* & c. by which the pastures of England are deteriorated; as follows .— 1. Arievi me Ne- ne rm.- Tiiis is a deadly poison. Linurons observes respecting it,, ' f Cattle thai have been brought from open lo woody jjastiires,', and have eaten Ibis plant, were alti- eled with tlie bloody flux ami. bloody it .- inc." Il affKts the milk and butter produced theie'-.' f. om; and those, who partakeof ii are afferted in the mucous membrane' oftbestninneli, intestines, and lun^ s, so as to bring oil an intense head- ache ami- severe in- flammation of tlie iiep. es, approaching to lic- dolm- eiix. if it be not, indeed, one of the causes of it: Baron Haller stales, that, in " Kamchatka, tlie inhabitants poison their arrows with the avemme, the Wounds pro- duced by which lead to certain dei » ( h." The Woody, pastures of England are literally covered with this, plant in spring arid summer. 2. Myosotes Scnrpiodes, or Scorpion Grass.— I. n- nreus found this plant, very destructive to sheep. It produces irritation and iinflatnmatioh of the bowels. 3. Eqiiisiium At" mse, or Corn Horse- tail — This plant brings on sheep and cattle an incurable diarrhoea. 4. Merc. iriaJis Perpnmes, or Dog's Mercury.- r- Tlris, is a most powerful narcotic. It . first stnpilies the animals4 and. when eaten in considerable quantity, produces instant death.. In moderate quantity, it pro- duces a powerful relaxation, which ends iu death. 5. Anlhericum. Oxifcragmn, or Lancashire Asphodel, — Linnaeus found this plant very poisonohs, as well as many others. of tile Hexandria class— hyacinth, narcissus, snow- flake,. crown im| terial, aiid'colchirurrt. The popp' spurge,, ciciita, are all destructive fo the livers of animals and man. G. Ranunculus, Crowfoot, or Buttercup.— This plant, produces in. ttamniat. ipn' and ulceration in animals and men beyond all other plants together. In Morrison'- v History of Plants,. Oxford folio fd. 1G80, it is referred to thus :—" By the eating nf the ranunculus pa/ ustrU, the sheep are killed; therefore the shepherds carefully drive the sheep away,' lest, devouring the ranfmculus,' their entrails should be inflamed, and hence Ihey shon| d, die, as is seen in the entrails of sheep which were rotted by this food, as- Lobilius bears his testimony against, his adversaries." Linnaeus speaks of it as one of. the most mortal poisons to sheep and stock in general. Thf » arable pasture lands ot this country are. filled with these poisonous plants; and tints it is- that our cattle and sheep are so generally diseased. The sheep which are fed thereon are diseased ill the proportion of nine, out o£ every ten that are fed qn the arable pastures of England. Those which are reared oil lands which ha\ e never beep, cultivated, such as the downs of England, the old deer parks, and the mountains of England, Scotland; Ireland; or Wales, are sound,, and the sweetest mutton in the world. If any orfe doubt the fact as to diseased animals, let him visit the slaughter- houses and examine the livers, lungs, and intestines of the slaughtered animals, and he will. soon be convinced,' and cease to wonder at the ill health of the population. As it is well known that more rain falls in the mountain- ous country than in the valleys, the w- et cannot be pro- perly assigned as the cause of the elisease in sheep. The lecturer then noticed a destructive insect, a species of leech, called the fluke, which is engendered in the intestines of animals ( sheep in particular) that feed on the above, and renders them not only totally unfit for human nourishment, but productive of thb m ist injurious consequences to those who consume the cheese, butter, milk, and flesh of such diseased stock ; and these evils, he Contended, would not be confined to the piesent generation, even if active measures be taken for future prevention, as thenumber of diseased children born in this country wjlhin the last few years is lamentably excessive. The fluke breeds principally in the liver of sheep, where they suclc the blood and form large excavations by eating their way through the small ducts. The corrosive effects of the buttercup on the mucous membrane and points of the absorbents widerf them and favour the admission of grosser substances from food, along with the noxious excrement of the fluke, which has the power of decomposing the glutin- ous and alkali e properties of the blood, and passing off its oily parts, by which it more readily enters I he system of the animal, which consequently becomes loaded with fat, to which itie biltchcrs triumphantly point as the test of every thing desirable'; but the contrary is the fact ;• such fat is literally poison, and when eaten by children disposes to all manner of glandular diseases and de- formity; and when they have the smallpox, and other infectious diseases, th?, ir depraved Constitutions' are unable to bear up against the. disorders to whiili they are subsequently liable, terminating in scrofula,- & c. He a] so entirely attributed the cancer, consump- tion, and cholera morbus. to similar causes, and ridiculed the notions which had been put forth respecting the latter scourge. He next, referred to a speech recently delivered by the High Sheriff of Dublin, at a meeting. at which the Mayor of that city presided,- called for the purpose of investigating the subject under review.- That gentle- man observed, in corroboration of his ( Mr. Whitlaw's'Jr statements, that having noticed the bad quality of butter during a late, visit to Loudon,- he enquired of an exten- sive dealer in lhat article the cause, when he ascertained that the only butter tit for consumption in Ihe London market was supplied b'y Holland and the Netherlands'; that it fetched ,3d. more per pound than Irish butter; and that more than 7000 casks were imported every week, to the great injury of the home market. His ( the Sheriff's) son soon after visited fhe. Netherlands, when he was surprised to find the pastures entirely free of weeds, to which alone was attributable the excellence of the bolter. He then, came to Ihe remedy for this train of evils. As. a mode of effectually destroying, the poisonous plants, he recommended half a Ion of salt to be sown upon each acre of land, which should then be trenched, ploughed, and manured with dhng and earth composited with lime, o fti load of lime to ten of earth and manure ; fhat then it should be sown with such grass seeds as may be suitable to the soil, ( and a judicious selection might be made by consulting Sir Humphrey Davy's Chemical Agriculture,) from which so strong a crop could be produced as would destroy any weeds that might escape the first purging. Those who wished* however, not to break up the' laud migUe a- pply hundred weight of salt to ( lie acre, and in the spring sow tiieir seeds and narrow ( hem well in.

BROTHER JONATHAN AGAINST REFORM— It seems that the evidence of those who are termed Anti reformers, is by no means to be received in regard to the important question of Reform. So be it. But who, we nsk, is a competent witness in matters of reform, renovation, reconstruction, revo- lution, or whatever name the whole Bill may as- sume to itself? Here in Britain we are all in some manner parties to the question— we are all in- terested in some way or other in the result. We shall not, therefore, we conceive, be pronounced unreasonable, when we advise the public to look abroad for impartial testimony on the subject, And who,- we ask, so ( it as Brother Jonathan to give evidence on the question? He is an expei- iuueed hand iu lhat way; and, we presume, is now reap- ing t' e blessed rewards of that unprecedented measure of reform which separated the United States from this country, and uaie to England a rival, indeed the only rival which we hud to dread. " The Philadelphia National Gazette," in giving- vent to the sentiments of America on the subject of the Bill, expresses itself bluntly; uud we trusi die Reformers will attend lo the words of a Republican: 14 We do not mean to discuss the points whether the British Constitution ouirht to be preserved — whether revolution be preferable to Ihe existing order of things; we would say only we doubl that the Constitution— as a real not a nominal monarchy — can be saved at all, if reform be admitted even to the extent of the wishes of thc moderate party. If an inch be given, an ell will be taken ere very long ; this is an era ot' movement onwards; the generation of reformers having thc millions at their back, will, when they get a foot- hold, leap ami strike at the whole machinery, iu contempt of aristocratic Whics and inflexible Tories. Hume, iu his essays, and Burke, iu his Appeal from the New to the Obi Whigs, have furnished the real exposition of the theory or essence of the British Government. Il is not suited to the present age, lo the march of reason, and the republican power in Groat Britain (!!!) and consequently there is extreme danger in giving a lodgment in the citadel IO the race of purists anel regenerators. The language of Hume is remarkable, as to the perils to w hich he thought the Constitution exposed, when he pub- lished his views, in 1742.'' We have not room to give tbe extract from Hume, but it will be found in his Essay on Ihe British Government.

DUBLIN, July 30.— Au investigation of a strictly private nature has beeu inning on for some weeks before the magistrates of the Head Police Office, respecting a charge of forgery preferred against the Rev. Mr. Henry, a Rontan Catholic priest, attached to Arruu Quay Chapel* and James Netfer- vifle, Esq. commonly called Lord Netlerville. The parlicular charge is for having uttered divers bank post bills to a large amount, drawn iu favour of Ihe iate Viscount Nefterville, anel purporting to have been endorsed by him, they well knowing the same to be forged. It appears the late nobleman was very eccentric in his habits, aud for somd time prior to his death, did not; as he was accustomed, fund his property , but having lodged it In the Bank of Ireland trot bank post bills dravVn in his own nanie* which he never endorsed, llenry was hia lordship's domestic chaplain, and was left £ l, ft; M wiih other property, as residuary legatee. The other person charged is the claimant for the extinct title, and lias his claim, we understand, lodged before the House of Lords. The late viscount was accustomed to hide the post bills about the house in different holes and Corners, sometimes in his pockets artel tied Up in bis shirts. After his death securities of this kind to the uniuunt of t' 2,000 or £'. j, 0()() were found in this manner concealed. Some of the'in bave been traced to the possession of Henry and the claiinaut for the title. The proseen. tion has been instituted nt the instance of the heir- at- law, F„ J. Blake, Ksq. and a reward has been offered for the apprehension of tlie alleged offend- ers, who have both tied.— Dublin Packet.

VK L\ G 3inpertal parliament. HOUSE OF COMMONS—' TUESDAY. The house having, after considerable discussion, resolved, by a majority of 157 to 108, that fciu'cibury should remain in schedule 6, and it being determined also that the boroO'gh of Totness should remain in the same schedule, tlie question was put that the clause containing; this schedule," should stand part of the billY upon which lilr. Cioker, Sir Charles WfMherell, and other members protested against the clause as unjust to the boroughs which were enumerated within it. Mr. A. BARING said that it would'tie found that in a reformed parliament, when the day of battle came, the country squire would not be able to stand against the active, pushing, intelligent people who would be sent from the manufacturing districts. He ( Mr B) wished the house to'direct its attention to what would be the character of the repre- sentatives under this bill. From the time the Speaker took the chair thuse members would be in the house; they would apply themselves to every sort of business; they would lead every paper, i. et the house call to mind whether the country gentlemen were not likely to be overmatched by these new representatives. The country gentlemen would have no more chance of maintaining' them- selves against these antagonists, than the church against the friends of the noble paymaster of the forces of the three denominations. If this country should ever have a mob- courting ministry, afraid to levy taxes, or to take any steps which was not popular, he begged to ask how such a government could maintain itself? According to the system which this bill was intended to introduce* a minister required not only to possess general popularity* but also local popularity. He could suppose the case of a Chancellor of the Exchequer consulting local interests and refraining from levying ai particular tax, because it pressed heavily on his constituents. Such a case was not merely fanciful. When Mr. Lushiugtou represented Canterbury^ it was said, though perhaps very unjustly/ that he never was without a bill for furthering the interest of ihe hop- dealers in Canterbury ; and an insinuation of a similar description was more than once thrown out with respect to ihe late Mr. Huskisson, wheu he represented Liverpool. By the system of popular representation, which this bill was calculated to introduce, the crown would be restrained in its choice of servants to conduct the public business, and the people and their liberties, in his opinion, would greatly suffer— unless, indeed, it was in- / tended to introduce a clause giving the servants of the crown the privilege of sitting in that house, as ministers, and not as the representatives of ihe people. He begged to know whether it was the intention of his Majesty's ministers to propose such a clause in the bill. Mr. STANLEY had no hesitation in stating that it was not the intention of His Majesty's government to introduce such a pi; ovist6n fn the bill as had been alluded to. Without disrespect to his hon. friend ( Mr. Bariug), he should not now enter into the argument whether such a clause was necessary The qnestiou now before the house was whether the clause containing schedule B should stand part of the bill; and not whether schedules A and B should stand part of the bill. The topic which had just been introduced might properly have been made part of the discussion on schedule A", but had no connection with schedule B. The argument was that, unless there were corrupt places open to a ministry, the servants of the crown could not obtain seats in that house. It was said that, if the nomination boroughs were dtsfrancjmed, unless there was a mob- courting ministry, the members of the administration could not obtain seats in that house. This argument had no connexion with schedule B, because gentlemen opposite contended that schedule B contained no rotten boroughs, and, therefore, none of the boroughs in schedule B could be used to induct members of the government into that house. Under { hose circumstances he ( Mr. Stanley) felt himself justified," at present, in declin- ing to enter into the question proposed by his hon. friend as to the difficulty which the ministers ofthe crown would hereafter find in obtaining eieats in that house. There was one point, however, in the hon. member's speech which he could not pass over without noticing its inconsistency. The hon. member complained of the preponderance which the manu- facturing interest, or the field of coal, as he called it, would obtain over the agricultural iuterest, or the field of barley ; and; at the same time, the hon. gentleman cofnplained of ministers for letting iu the agricultural p6piilat ion in • liie representation of low us, and not confining the constituency strictly lo the towns. He ( Mr. Stanley) could uot at ail agree wilh his hoii. friend that' the country gentle- men would be over- matched in that house, because a certain number of members were lo be admitted from manufacturing towns and districts. No mem- bers in that house were more active, diligent, and attentive than the country members, and he was convinced they woald not bS overmatched, either in activity or intelligence, by any other class of members. But what danger was to be apprehended from the members from manufacturing towns being attentive and industrious? Tile effect would be that all the members of that house would do what they were sent to do ; they would examine every question for themselves, and not merely come down lo that house, when they had no other engagement, to lounge away au hour for the good of the country. The hon. gentleman's ( Mr. Baring's) argument was, that one manufacturing member would be equal to two n- ricvihiirsil members, ntul therefore, to make an even balance that there should be two agricultural members for every one connected with the manufac- turing districts j but this argument involved a severe censure on those members who represented the agri- cultural interests, which he ( Mr. S.) professed himself much surprised to have heard from his hon. friend, who was always au advocate for the agricultural interest. When schedule B war, first discussed the proportion of members given to the north and soulh of the kingdom was considered. The proportion which at present existed might have been just cen- turies ago, when it was established, but it was not just now, when the northern part of the kingdom had increased so much in wealth, population, atfd manu- facturing industry and skill. He could not admit tbat the agricultural interest was iri the least danger from the preponderating weight which the bill would give to the manufacturing interests in that house ; but be believed that all interests would he in great danger if existing abuses were perpetuated, and great and opulent towns were excluded froiii their due share and influence in the representation. It was in sinuated that government had not been just in the application of the rule which had been laid down to particular boroughs, but lie confidently asserted that they had done their best in each individual case, and on tbe whole, to do equal and substantial justice. Mr. A. BARING explained. He bad too much respect for the members ofthe present government to apply Ihe epithet " mob- courting ministry" to them individually; he used Ihe expression with reference merely to the condition of the future servants of the crown, and not to the right hon. gentlemen opposite. No answer, however, was given lo Ilia objection, that, before the King appointed his ministers in lhat house, he must first inquire whether Ihe individual whom he bad thought fit to appoint had local iuterest enough to obtain a seat under such a system; the people would possess tbe initiative power, and the crown only a velo. ll was true there was tyranny and oligarchy iu the world, but there was also demo, cracy and anarchy; and hitherto there had happily existed a balance of power in this country, which secured the happiness and liberties of the people. It now appeared that it was not intended to remedy the inconvenience which must exist from having the ministers of the crown dependent on popular and local favour for seats in that house. The right hon. gent.' s ( Mr. Stanley's) own ease was a proof lhat nomination boroughs were not useless iu this respect; for having failed iu a popular election, that right lion, gentleman found his way into that bouse through the royal, he slionld nol say rotten, boroiiKh of Windsor. It was a nomination borouMi however; and the right hon. gent.' s constituents perhaps, had never seen him, or heard his name" before he was proposed as their member. Now this was much better than that the country should be - saddled with jobs to secure the favour of local constituencies tbr ministers of Ihe crown. It was then agreed to, without any further divi- sion, that schedule B stand part ofthe Bill. The House then entered upon tbe enfranchising schedule, and the resolution that each of the towns in schedule C should return two members to Parlia- ment having been read, it was proposed that Man- chester and Salford should stand part of schedule C. Sir It. PEEL said he should not object to Man- chester, Birmingham, & Leeds returning members ; but be protested against the disfranchising of oue class of boroughs in order lo give members to the new boroughs thus created. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. The House proceeded witli tbe Hefoim Bill, and iu Ihe course ofthe evening, after a division of 2S! 5 to 188, Greenwich,* Sheffield, Sunderland, aud Dev. onport were admitted into the class of towns, each of which is to return tw. o members to Parlia- ment.— Sir IT. PEII, Mr. CROKER, Sir CHARLES WETHERELI., and other Members, o'jetted lo tbe disfranchising Dorchester, Huntingdon, Guildford, and other county tow OS, in order to transfer the franchise to these places: and further objections were urged us to the danger to the country and its best interests that must arise from placing such an immense proportion of the representation iu tbe sections of the city of. Loudon, and in tbe hands of the inhabitants of all the populous districts now proposed to be enfranchised. Mr. C. W. W. WYNN said lhat after what had re- cently happened in the cily of London, when oue of its members chose fo give a vole accordinjr to his judgment upon a judicial question, he . hoped the house would nut think thai Ihe metropolis afforded a constituency that ought to be extended, or that the extension of the power of such a constituency was a thing desirable for the general interests of the, country. He for one could not look ut such an increased influence of the metropolitan population upon their proceedings without alarm for thpir independence and freedom-. In reverting to the lessons of experience iii illustration of this danger, be should perhaps be told that Ibis was the old story about France. Tbe story, however old, should, in bis opinion, be constantly impressed upon their minds when tbey were proceeding to adopt a new sysletn of representation. What was the fact? Was it not the influence of the sections of Paris upon Ihe legislative assemblies which produced all the worst evils of the French revolution ? Upon these grounds, believing tbat they should be giving an influence to the popular opinion of the metro- polis, which would bave a mischievous and injurious effect upon the proceedings of parliament^ he should oppose the motion before the committee. lu the expression of public opinion by large masses of Society so situated it should be remembered lhat they bad tbe opinion of the lowest class more exclusive of those of the higher than in the case of auy oilier popular meetings in the country. Let auy man look to tbe periods of public clamour which had occurred in the history of Ihe country, itnd it would be Seen that it had always been led by the populace of large towns, often created by them alone, and often effectually neutralized by the more sober and deliberate decisions of county meetings. He must not be told that excitement in a district sending a member to parliament was of little conse- quence, and could produce but little effect upon the proceedings of parliament. He was satisfied that excitement iti Westminster would now become excitement in Lambeth, in Malyleboue, in the Tower Hamlets, and iu Greenwich, and tbat the influence of all the members for those places, returned upon one common principle, and bound together by tbe same bond of union, would act upon tbe house as the opinion and influence of one man. In this he saw n danger which he would uot consent to incur, and he should therefore vote aiust the motion. " On Monday he went to Rochester; and the next, day, being the nine and twentieth of May, and bis birth- day, lie entered into London — all the way thither being ? o full 6' f people and acclamations, as if tbe whole kingdom had been gathered there. Between Deptford, and Southwark, fhe lord mayor and aldermen met him, with all such protestations of joy as can hardly be imagined. Tfie concourse was so great, that, the king r. ode in a crowd from the bridge to Whitehall; all the. companies of the city standing in order 011 both sides, and giving loud thanks to God for his majesty's presence. He no sooner came to Whitehall, but the two bouses, of parliament solemnly cast themselves at his feet with all vows of affection and fidelity to the world's end. In a word, the joy was so unexpressible, and so universal, that his majesty said smilingly lo some about him, ' he doubted it had been his own fault he had been absent so long 5 for he saw nobody lhat did not protest he had ever wished foi his return !'" Thus, we see the People, iu the short space of twelve years, cut off the king's bead— declared the office and name of king odious— were delighted when Cromwell assumed the offiie— implored him to take the name— swore eternal fidelity to his son,* and were in agony of delight when they got rid of him, to make room for ( lie son of that king whom they bad murdered ! And were the People of England justly chargeable with all these crimes and follies? Who will have Ihe hardihood to answer, Yes? They, and they only, who now bave the hardihood to assert that the People call for « the bill, tbe whole bill, and nothing but the bill." But, in tbe words of tbe Lady Fairfax, we say, " It is a lie I— not Ihe tenth part of the people are concerned in it— it is all done by the machinations of— a FACTION V'— From the hvyal Lady's Ma- gazine for August. . * When Richard Cromwell was quitting his palace of Whitehall, he ordered his servants to be very, careful of two old trunks which stood ill his wardrobe. The men wondered at this; aud one of his friends hearing him inquire very earnestly after thein, asked hiin what was in tljein, that made him so much concerned about them'.

[ From Ihe Dumfries Journal.'] Wc think it proper to advertise our readers of the expectations cherished by some reformers— against whom the charge cf ignorance cannot be brought— of Ihe privileges which they believe will be conferred on them by the passing of the Reform Bill. As one fact is worth a thousand arguments, we inay as well, while upon this subject, present our readers with another proof of how far even " The Bill, the whole Bill," is likely to satisfy the democratic spirit that is abroad in the land. The following highly characteristic letter from the Honourable Joseph Hume, M. P. to a great Reform leader in the West, we find published in the Saturday Evening Post, and as it has been going the round of tbe papers without challenge, we have a right to conclude that it is authentic, it is by far too explicit in itself to require any comment from us :— " Dear Fellow- Citizen,— I congratulate you most cordially on the victory we have gained. I saw clearly, from the first intelligence of the doings in JULY, that sooner or later it must come to this; but little did 1 think, when I addressed you in September, that by this time we should be N EARLY HALE WAY at the highest object of our wishes. The Bill pleases mh iriighlily— it could not have been better. There is, however, a strong party against us in Parliament; and I much fear, if great exertions be not made, may have the means of defeating us. In the fortnight that has. been allowed for the expression of the country's feeling On tbe Bill— you, of course, will send up a petition. Now what I have most earnestly to be- seech of you is, that not a sound— not a whisper—. may be allowed to enter if of any wish you may hare farther than it goes— a wish contrary to it you can- not have. You must see that, in the ensuing debates, that would a fford the most e ffectual assistance to our opponents, and would sorely damp the efforts of ministers, the most of whom are but half- inclined, to the work. WHEN THIS BU I. DOES PASS- THEN DOES OUR TIME COME— for then there shall be no means left, lo a Government of opposing any of the JUST DEMANDS of the PEOPLE. " Jos.

So say the friends of ministers in both houses of Parliament. So says every one who only says ( and they are a huge class) what others say. That the People are either a grievously abused body, or that they are a remarkably silly one, will appear, we think, from the following historical facts. Ill 1648, when Charles I. was brought to trial, John Cook, who was employed as Solicitor- General, exhi- bited against him, in the high court of justice, a charge of high treason, " in the name of all tlie peo- ple of England." Yet it was so notorious, the People were never consulted at all in the business, and that, their representatives, who opposed it, were driven out ofthe House of Commons by the soldiers, leaving there only the forty or fifty who were in favour of the proposed proceeding, tbat when the said John Cook had the effrontery to declare it was in the name of the " good People of England" that the king was accused, the Lady Fairfax, w ho was present, called out in a loud voice " It is a lie 1— not Ihe tenth part of the people are concerned in it, but it is all done by the machinations of that traitor, Cromwell 1" Anolher voice, too, exclaimed, " 11 is false! where are they or their consents!" upon which Colonel Axtcll ordered his musketeers to level their pieces at Ihe gallery whence these words proceeded. — Of course there was no reply to so convincing an argu rnent; and the " good People of England" had all the merit of bringing their sovereign to the scaffold. Tbe next thing performed by the People of Eng- land, or in their name, was to pass an act ( Feb. 5, 1648) voting the House of Peers useless and danger- ous, and to declare " that it had been found by experience that the ofiice of a king in this nation was unnecessary, burdensome; and dangerous to the liberty, safety, and public interest of the nation and therefore it should be utterly abolished." Five years afterwards— only five years— when Cromwell dissolved the Long Parliament, and took upon himself the « office of a king," under the name PURPLE FLAKES. 1. Mr. R.

YELLOW. of Protictor, tbe " majority of the People," weare told, were so delighted with the proceeding, that " they thanked him in numerous addresses and c> n gratulalions, acknowledging the justice of the action, and promised to stand by bis government." In four years more— that is, in April, 1657, the People of England, speaking, as they are now sup- posed to do, through their representatives, presented to his Highness " their humble petition and advice," praying that he would be pleased to assume the nartie of a king, as well as the office ; but bis Highness being coy, they appointed a committee of ten persons to wait upon him, and, in the name of the People of England, to entreat him to discard his scruples. At this conference, Chief Justine Glynne said, " Your Highness may demand why, having already made you Protector, invested you with the ofiice of chief magistrate, and intrusted you wilh the caie of our liberties, our commerce, and our honour, we are now grown weary of our institution, and desire to rcstoi e a title which a long series of wicked administration has made it proper to abrogate ? To this we can easily answer, that our request is the request of the People ; the People whose interest is chiefly to be considered, and to whom it is your highest honour to be a faithful servant." Another of the committee, Mr. Fiennes one of the com. missioners of the great seal, at a subsequent confer- ence, told bis Highness it was incumbent upon him, " to prove the necessity of rejecting that title which the whole People of England entreated him to accept." Lenthal, who bad been Speaker of the Long Parliament, which abolished monarchy, and who was now master of the rolls, said, " General effecis must have general causes, and nothing can influence the whole nation to demand the restoration of monarchy but universal experience of the evil produced by rejecting it." His Highness the Protector, who knew right well bow far Ibe People of England were really concerned in this project of his own for putting the crown upon his head, prudently declined the " humble petition and advice;" ami continued to exercise the office only, without the title, of king. At his ( Heath, tbe People were once more unani- mous in proclaiming their attachment, and swearing fidelity, lo the government of his son, Richard. This was towards the close of 1658. I11 1660, Charles 11. was restored, and the People — but let us here borrow the language of Lord Clarendon, and of the restored monarch himself. The noble historian, describing the enthusiasm and joy of the parliament and the nation, after it was determined by tbe former to invite the exiled Charles back again, says, " From this time there was such an emulation and impatience in Lords, and Commons, and city, and generally over the kingdom, who should make the most lively expressions of their duty and their joy, that a man could uot but wonder where those people dwelt who had done all the mischief, and kept the king so many years from enjoying ike comfort and support of such excellent subjects."

Five little boys belonging to the Royal Naval Asylum, took shelter on a rustic seat in Ihe upper play- ground, which issituate between two very large oak trees, when tile electric fluid struck the trees, which completely shivered their trunks, and at the same moment struck the lads( who inilhediately fell from their seals quite insensible.— Tfi'e " lads were carricd in a state of torpor to the infirmary, where they were examined by Dr. Dobson, when it was found lhat two of the boys, named Carpenter and Lane, were very severely injured. The former was struck by the fluid on Ihe temple; it then passed down his side, which was much burnt, and lore his shoe to atoms. The lad, Lane, was also struck on the side of bis head, and much burnt. It is feared that the sight of these lads will he lost. The oilier lads were only partially burnt, and are fast recover- IIATS AND BONNETS. The Capotes Anglaiscs present this month very little of their original form ; they are wider, and the crowns are higher. Some have the brim still square at the ears, but the greater number are made rounded. Among those just received from Paris, are severa'l composed of rice- straw and Leghorns; many of the latter are trimmed with tufts composed of the tips of ostrich feathers. Others have a single large flower, placed in the centre of a blond rosette. Those of rice straw are lined either with ganfl'red satin, or crape ; the former is set in plain, fhe latter drawn iu bias quills. Some are ornamented with light sprigs of flowers, intermixed with blond gauze ribbons, but fhe majority are trimmed with feathers, either en bouquet, or else two or three of different lengths placed together, and drooping to one side. Those composed of watered silk or crape, are trimmed equally with flowers or feathers. Among the last importations from Paris, are some bonnets peculiarly adapted for very young ladies ; they are trimmed it Ii a single knot of gauze ribbon 011 one side of the crown, and a small rosette placed on the other, inside of ihe brim ; they are cut out a good deal behind, and the curtain is short, so as to show the nape of the neck. Hats are of the chapeau capote form, they are trimmed in the same style as bonnets, but are more generally finished with a curtain veil of blond lace at tbe edge ofthe brim. OUT- DOOR COSTUME,— A few open pelisses com- posed of iron- grey watered gros de. Naples, have been seen upon elegant women, but silk is, upon the whole, less generally adopted than palymriennes, or printed muslins. These dresses are all worn with caruzous. The most novel for morning dress are composed of the finest cambric, trimmed round with several rows of double dents. For morning visiting dress, those made en cceur, by a lappel on each side of the front, which forms a pelerine behind, are most in estimation ; the trimming of the arm- hole is deeper than it has yet been vvorn. These canczous are always of India muslin, and very richly embroidered. Pelerine canezous are worn both in dishabilles and half- dress, they are very becoming to the shape; the piettiestare of cambric, trimmed with Valenciennes lace. Scarfs and sauto'rs have been, in a great degree, superseded by ribbon collars, and neck knots. The first are composed of pull's of gauze ribbon, which stand up in the style of a ruche, the others are made of ribbon, cut in the shape of oak leaves, there are two on each side, one very large, tbe oilier smaller. MAKE AND MATERIALS or MORNING DRESS.— Silks are very little Seen ill dishabille, the few that are worn are made with corsages, a three- quarter height, partially covered either by the collar of the chemisette, or by a cambric or embroidered muslin pelerine. Dresses of white jacconot muslin, the cor- sagc made nearly, but not quite up to the throat, with an embroidery round the top of the bust, at the waistband, and round the border, are coming much into favour; and printed muslins are iu very high estimation. These latter are always worn with a cancizou. Small silk aprons are indispensable in morning dress; some are embroidered in different coloured silks, others are trimmed with a ruche of tbe same material, Cut to resemble a wreath of wild endive. The pockets are of different forms, and are orna- mented, some with acorns, others with rosettes, or tulip knots; Morning caps are no longer trimmed with bows, placed in all directions, they are decorated with two round knots of the cockade form, inserted in the trimming in the front. MAKE AND MATERIALS OF EVENING DRES9 — Crape, gazb polonaise, and tulle, all worn over sarsnet or gros da Naples, are the materials most in favour ; the most novel form is a cot sage uni, trimmed round the bust w ith three folds, arranged en schall, plated one above another, & edged with narrow blond lace, set bn with very little fulness. A row of dents, ot a very novel form, edged tvitli blond lace, is placed immediately above tbe iiefh. We have seen a few crape dresses, trimmed rotind the border with two flounces of the same material, cut in dents de loup, and edged w ith satin rouleaus of tile Smallest size. Long sleeves ot gaze de Paris, or blond lace, are more generally worn in evening dress, than berets ; many of tbe former hai'e the upper part en mameluc, the latter have not allered in shape or size. STAFFORD ASSIZES, JULY 27. CHARLTON V. HILL. Mr. CAMPBELL stated that the plaintiff, Edmund Leehmere Charlton, Esq. was a gentleman of fortune residing at Ludford. The defendant, Mr. William Hill, was clerk of the Lichfield race course. The plaintiff was a subscriber to the sweepstakes of fifty sovereigns, for fillies of two years old, ot the Lich- field races in September last. His filly having walked over the course 011 the 14th of September ( the first day of the races), he became entitled lo the half forfeit of £ 25, which sum the defendant had received fiom Lord Anson's agent, but be refused to pay it over to tbe plaintiff ' s trainer, 011 the ground that the plaintiff had forfeited a similar sum to Mr. Giffard, and that he had paid it to that gentleman': trainer, George Dilley. He had, however, no right to set off the one sum against the other, even ad- miU.' ilgi which the plaintiff did not, that he had forfeited any sum lo Mr. Giffard; and the defend- ant having persevered in refusing to pay the £ 25, the present action had been brought to recover it from him, as money had and received to the plain- tiff's use. Thomas Farlow, the plaintiff's trainer, stated Jliat he rode the plaintiff's horse " Genuine" at the Lich- field races in September, 1830. lie walked over the course. The next morning he called 011 the defend- ant, at his house in Lichfield, and asked Iiim for the £ 25, which the plaintiff bad desired him ( witness) lo receive for him. The defendant said—" Very well, it's all right, but Mr. Charlton has not left any thing forme— who is to pay my fees?" Witness told him he had better settle with Mr. Charlton himself. The defendant said he had not then got any money lo pay the £ 25. Cross- examined.— Witness had been trainer to tbe plaintiff two yeais. All stakes subscribed for, ought to be paid before running. It was not usual to set off' one subscription against another. The plaintiff had entered his name at Mr. Weatherby's, in London, as a runner for the 2- years' old stakes on the second day of the races ( the 15th of September), but as he had received no letter or return list from the defend- ant, he afterwards withdrew his nomination. Re examined.— It was not usual for a gentleman to make good his stakes if he withdrew his nomination. James Hawes, clerk to Mr. Weatherby, stated that the plaintiff, in July last, put down his name for the 2- year old stakes, to be run for on the second day of the races— about a fortnight after tbe list had closed, he railed at Mr. Weatherby's, and said he would withdraw his subscription. Cross- examined — After a gentleman has put down bis name, I should say he cannot withdraw, so as to exclude the forfeit, and especially if the stakes have closed. Re examined — The reason assigned by the plaintiff for wishing to withdraw his name, was, that the clerk of the course had not sent up a return list. Mr. C. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the de- fendant, and contended that the plaintiff had clearly forfeited the £ 25 which he bad put his name down for in respect of the sweepstakes to be run for 011 the second day of the races, and that the defendant was entitled to set off lhat sum from the £ 25 now claimed. Mr. Justice PATTESON was, however, of opinion, thot this was not a case of set- off, the defendant, as clerk of the course, having acted merely as an agent or stakeholder for the parties. Tbe Jury, therefore, under his Lordship's direction, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. Arrival of the Duke Sf Ducliess of Bragansa and her Majesty Donna Maria. SCOTLAND.— The public bave been often told of the sense of the people of Scotland.— The meeting, of which the following paragraph, copied from fhe Glasgow Chronicle, gives an account, is we presume, a brilliant specimen !—" I - ist night tbe Laurieston Temperance Soiree was held in the Baronial Hall, Gorbals, w hen from 200 to 300 ladies and gentlemen sat down to an entertainment of tea and coffee, on tbe principles of Ihe Temperance Society. An organ, and a band of professional singers were iu attendance; and 011 what would have been called at another occasion " the removal of the cloth," tbe company were favoured with some admirable sacred tunes, per- formed on the organ, and sung in very superior style. The Rev. William Anderson look the chair, and at intervals briefly addressed this meeting in a light amusing manner, encouraging the company to con- verse freely with each other. His example was fol- lowed by oilier gentlemen, and several anecdotes on the progress of temperance were related. In the course ofthe night the Magistrates of Gorbals entered the Hall, and enlivened the meeting with their presence during the rest of the evening!! The company ap- peared to enjoy themselves highly, and gave an ad- ditional proof that the utmost hilarity may prevail in the total absence of all stimulating liquors!'.!". For complaints in tlie Stomach and Bowels, which so frequently preva I at this season of tbe year, either from excessive beat, or partaking too freely of fruit, vegetables, & c. 110 medicine has been found more efficacious than Diccy's Genuine Daffy's Elixir, which may be purchased of most respectable Medicine Venders either in fown or country.— Particular care should be taken lo ask for DICEY'S Duffy's Elixir, and to observe that the Name of Diccy & Co. is in the Stamp. The Ex- Emperor and Empress of Brazil, accom- panied by Donna Maria, arrived at Ihe Clarendon Hotel, Old Bond- Street, about ten minutes past five on Tuesday afternoon, from the Continent. The Royal cortcge comprised four carriages and four, containing, exclusive of Don Pedro, the Ex- Empress and the young Queen, the Marquis de Rezende, Major Webster, M. Gomez de Silva, and several Ladies in Waiting. Tbe Royal party, it appears, were conveyed from Cherbourg to Ports mouth by his Majesty's steam- vessel Lightning, which had been placed at the disposal of the Ex- Einperor. The Lightning reached Portsmouth 011 Monday evening, at six o'clock, and soon after lhal hour the illustrious passengers landed. Orders having arrived to receive Donna Maria with Ihe honours due to a crowned head, preparations were accordingly made at Portsmouth for her reception ; and, on the appearance of tbe Lightning, salutes were fired from tbe ships at Spithead, and, on the steamer passing tlieni, Ihey manned yards, which compliment was acknowledged by the Lightning. Admiral Sir Thomas Foley, the Port Admiral, and his lady, were waiting Ihe arrival of her Majesty, and on landing she was saluted with 21 guns from the garrison. A guard of honour from the Royal Marine Artillery was also in attendance, aud the band of the same corps received the Royal party playing the National Anthem. Major- General Sir Colin Campbell, Ihe Commander- in- Chief, also waited on the young Queen, in order to congratu- late her on her arrival. Her Majesty, accompanied by her Royal parent and step- mother, having entered the Admiral and General's carriages, drove up the High- street; the troops, consisting of the Royal Marine Artillery aud Ihe 90th and 91si regiments, who were 011 either side of the street, presenting arms. Her Majesty was received at tbe George Inn by a guard and band of the 90lh regi- ment. The troops, having formed in open columns, led by Sir Colin Campbell and staff, marched by the George Inn in slow time, with bands playing and colours flying. Tbe troops then marched home, and the principal families of distinction in Ihe town and vicinity subsequently paid their respects to tbe yonng Queen. Tliey departed from Portsmouth at eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and proceeded lo tbe metropolis at Ibe rapid rate of twelve miles an hour. The Royal party, on arriving at the Clarendon Hotel, were received by Mr. Chaplin, the proprietor, who conducted them to a splendid suite of apartments, which bad been prepared for their reception. Donna Maria has grown so consi- derably since she quitted her tranquil abode at Laleham, in 1829, that, although she has not yet completed her 13lh year, she lias the appearance of having attained the age of 18. The Ex- Empress, who is about 12 years younger than her husband, is extremely graceful and prepossessing. It is said that she converses fluently in French and English; iu the course of three or four months it is expected that her Majesty will present Don Pedro with a Messrs. Baldwin and Cradock are appointed book- sellers to the Commissioners for Ihe Preservation o( the Public Records, and we understand it is the in- tention of the commissioners to allow their publishers to offer the works already printed on such favourable terms, as to place these national treasures within the' reach of every considerable library in tbe empire. We extract tbe following description of the new" London Bridge from a pamphlet just published by Mr. Elmes, tbe architect and surveyor:—" The elevation of the bridge consists of five very beauti- fully formed elliptical arches, Ihe central one of which is 152 feet in span ( the largest elliptical stone arch in existence), and 29 feet 6 inches in height. The piers on each side of this magnificent granite ' • arch are 24 feet in width. The arches on each side of the centre arch are 140 feet span, anil 27 feet 6 inches rise. The piers between these and the land arches are. 22 feet each.. The extreme arches nearest to the shores are 130 feet each, nnd 24 feet 6 inches rise. The abutments of fhe bridge are 73 feet each at the base. These five arches are separated by ' plain granlle piers, with massive plinths and pointed cut- waters; they are covered by a bold projecting block cornice, which describes the sweep of the road- way, and are surmounted by a plain double blocking course, receding in two heights like the scamilli of the ancients; which give the bridge a gtand and beautiful antique air." On Monday, a boy, only 14 years old, named John Any Bird Bell, was executed at Maidstone, for the wilful murder of a lesser boy named Taylor, to which crime he was incited by the depravity of his charac- ter, and the desire to obtain some money, to the amount of a few shillings, of which he robbed his unfortunate victim, after he had committed tlie murder. — After hanging the usual time, the body of the wretched malefactor was given to the burgeons at Rochester for dissection, pursuant to his sentence. A convict, named Jacob Milsome, foriYierly of Bath, but now of Hobart Town, Van Dieman's Land, has written to the parochial authorities of VValcot for a copy of his marriage register, & c. in order to enable him to claim from Ihe G01 ernment authorities of the Colony his wife, who, by a " singular coincidence," lias found her way out to Hobart Town, by some uncomfortable officiousnTss on the partof'the crimi- nal law. EXTENSIVE FIRE.— On Tuesday evening, as early as half- past five o'clock, the upper part of the pre- mises of Messrs. Stewart and Snibben, sugar bakers, Dock. street, East Smithfield, were discovered to be on fire. A great number of persons employed in the extensive building, immediately rendered every as- sistance to stop its progress, but without effect, for so rapid were the flames, that the entire of the upper story was in less than half an hour in one body of fire. From the density of the neighbourhood great consternation prevailed, fears being entertained that the opposite as well as the adjoining buildings would fall a prey to the flames. It being found impossible to stop the progress of the fire, a number of men were set to save as much of the properly as possible. For this purpose about six individuals entered the counting- house adjoining, which led to the building 011 tire. While thus employed, the gable end « f- the immense pile gave way, and fell wilh a tremendous crash on the roof of the counting house. Notwith- standing every individual was at the time- in the counting- honse, and more or less buried in the ruins, with the exception of one, a fireman of the name of Gardner, the whole cscaped with only a few slight bruises. Gardner, who belongs to tbe Atlas, wast severely injured on the head, and he was conveyed to the hospital. The Phcenix engine was the first to arrive on the spot, and being shortly joined ' by two others, their hoses were conveyed to the upper part of the building, and the branches brought t& bear immediately on the body of the fire. Tbe men, how- ever, had not long been placed in their respective positions before a portion of the building gave way, and they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat, leaving their branches behind them. The flames rapidly extended downwards, and the extensive pre- mises were in about an hour and a half one mass of fire. By great perseverance on the part of tbe fire- men the conflagration was confined to Messrs. Stewart and Co.' s premises. The loss of properly must have been immense. The Phoenix Office, it is said, will suffer greatly, the majority of the property being insured therein. THUNDER STORM OF THE 14TH ULT.— When we published an account of the partial damage sustained in this neighbourhood by the storm of Thursday week, we were then unacquainted with its destructive effects in the eastern parts of the county, where its" violence appears to have been chiefly directed. The places that have suffered most severely are the vil- lages of Penruddock and Motherby, the township of Hutton John, and a portion of the parish'of Dacre, including altogether a space of about two square miles. In this devoted quarter the hailstones, or rather lumps of ice ( many of which measured lour inches in circumference), covered the ground to a considerable depth, and destroyed about a thousand acres of grain, and several hundred acres of potatoes and turnips, to the total ruin of many individuals. At Hutton John, it would seem, this awful visitation has been most intensely felt. Nearly all the'windows of the mansion- house were shivered to pieces, and almost every window within the range of the Storm shared the same fate. The partridges' and pheasants' nests suffered in the general destruction, and a vast number of different kinds of birds were killed by the hail. The injuries sustained by several farmers are much to be lamented, anil call loudly for public sympathy. Mr. John Green, of Hutton John, has lost nearly the whole of his crop, and all his windows were broken ; the situation of Mr. T. MoorehoOse, of Highgate, is exactly similar. Aldby, a farm belong- ing to Mr. Hasell, of Dalemain, occupicd by Mr. Brown, has sustained about £ 300 damage. Mr. John Green, of Kirkbarrow, has lost twenty acres of w heat and sixty- four of oats, the whole estimated. it about £ 600. At Penruddock the snow lay eight inches deep on the ground, and the bail fell in such abund- ance as to obstruct the course of the rivulets, which did much damage by washing away the soil." The estimated loss in the district visited hy this destruc- tive storm is thought to be about £ 6000— Cumber- land Pacqiwt. THE LAST FEAT.— The Indian juggler who aslo. nished London a year or two ano, by his daring feat of passing a drawn sword down bis stomach, has fallen a sacrifice to his presumption, at au exhibition on the Continent; tbe sword taking a wrong direction, wounded the ventricle of the stomach, aud be died almost instantaneously, in violent convulsions. The walls and floor of my apurlment ( at Buenos Ayres), saysSirE. Temple, were nearty covered with what al first gave me considerable alarm; but hav- ing been assured that I should uot be molested, [ took courage, and found that 1 was not deceived. This was a colony of ants, which had their settle- ment in one of the beams of the roof, and having several roads to it, they were spread in divisions of millions over the room, but always preserved the nicest order and regularity in their ranks. Day and night their industry was unceasing; I never found tbe least incovenience from them, but often much amusement iu observing their curious labours. Sweets seemed to be their great allurement, for the sugar bowl every morning was found lo be in their entire possession, and to dislodge them was no easy task. Perhaps 110 house in Buenos Ayrcs is alto- gether free from them.
