JOHNSON'S American Soothing Syrup. puis infallible REMEDY has pre- a served Hundreds of Children, when thought past Recovery from Convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the Gums the Child will be relieved. It is as innocent as efficacious ; and so pleasant that no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed with it. When Infants are at the Age of four Months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the Gums ; and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the Nursery wher there are young Children ; for if a Child wakes in the Night with Pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives Ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fe. vers, & c.—- The great Success of this Medicine during the last Twenty- five Years has induced unprincipled Persons to imitate it uuder the Name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying Parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, & o. Parents will, therefore, be verv particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to Notice that the Names of BARCLAY and SONS ( to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the Recipe) are on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle.

The skin is deadly cold and often damp, the tongue; always moist, often white and loaded, but flabby aud chilled likea piece of dead flesh. The voice is liearly gone ; the respiration quick, irregular,, and imper- fectly performed. The patient speaks in a whisper. He struggles for breath, and often lays his hand oil his heart fo point out the seat of his distress. Some- times there are rigid spasms of the legs, thighs, aud loins. The secretion of urine is totally suspended ; vdfnitings and purgings, which are far from being the most important or dangerous symptoms, and which, in a very great number of cases of the disease, have not been profuse, or have been arrested by medicine early in the attack, succeed. Il is evident that the most urgent and peculiar symptom of this disease is the sudden depression of the vital powers: proved by the diminished action of the heart, the coldness of the surface and extremities, and tlie stagnant state of the whole circulation. It 13 important to advert to this fact* as pointing out the instant measures which tiiay safely and beneficially be employed where medical aid cannot immediately be procured. All jneans tending- to restore fire circula- tion aud maintain tlie warmth, of tlu » body should be !{ ad recourse to without delay. The patients should always immediately be put to bed, wrapt up iu hot blankets, aud warmth should he sustained by other external applications, such as repeated frictions with flannels . and camphorated spirits;' poultices of mus- tard and linseed ( equal parts) to the s'tomacli, par- ticularly where pain and vomiting' exist; similar poultices to the feet ami legs, to restore their warmth- The returning heat of the body may be promoted by bags containing hot salt or bran applied to different parts of it. For the same purpose of restoring and sustaining the circulation, white wine vUiey$ with spice, hot brandy aud water, or sal volatile, in the dose of a teaspoonful in hot water, frequently re- peated, or from five to twenty drops of some of the essential oils, as peppermint, cloves, or cajeput, in a v.' ine glass of^ water, iiiay be administered ; with the same vit » w, where the stomach will bear it, warm broth with spice may be employed. In very severe cases, or where medical aid is difficult to be obiaint•;], froin twenty to forty drops of laudanum may be given, in any ofthe warm drinks previously recommended. These simple means are proposed as resources in the incipient stage of the disease, yvhere medical aid has not yet been obtained. THE MINISTERS AND THE AGltAtOR. Daniel has come to judgment—- he is boliglit and sold— the patent of precedency," which will give him rank at the head of the King's counsel,- tind next to the sergeants, is clearly no more than a preface to what is to follow; The Rolls Court will be his portion, if the Whigs arc cn. ibled to bear up against the winter's campaign. Their having stooped to buy him, is no great proof of their strength. In the House of Commons they could do well without him, but; perhaps, better with him. Will the popular Irish members follow in his train, and allow him to pocket the price of their exertions? If they will uot, his own vote, and the vote of his sou Maurice, will be of little avail. Koyvcver, at horn* he can render the ministers some service; he has already done so by putting a stop to agitation* and by ceasing to encourage treason.

I hey state thAt another Protocol of the Confer* nee, dated on Monday last, had reached that city, and the following is given as a summary of its contents:— Sir Charles Bagot, Frtglish Minister at the Hague, having written to his Governiiqent that King William seemed disposed to refuse the 24th article, Lord Palm- erston had thought it necessary to convoke th6 Con- ference, tq communicate to it these dispatches of Sir Charles Bagot. " The Conference, deliberating on this communica- tion, thought it advisable to invite Great Britain to send a squadron to. the . Coast of, Holland, to support the resolutions taken bv, the Five Powers. Lord Palmerston, in the name of Great Britain, promised to execute this resolution of the Conference. " The courier who brought the 52d protocol arrived at Brussels at three o'clock yesterday afternoon; he left London on Monday evening. General Beliiard also received dispatcher from Lnndort, sent to him by Prince Talleyrand. Immediately afterwards he had an interview with M. de Muclenaere and Sir R. Adair; the latter dispatched a courier to the Hague." The assembling of a fleet' in the Downs, and the i orders stated to have been1 issued to Sir Edward Codrington, Obviously refer to the above proceeding ; and are doubtless intended to enforce Compliance on the part of Holland with the treaty proposed by the Conference. An express from Paris on Saturday afternoon says that, after a long debate in the Congress at Brussels, the acceptance of fhe treaty was carried by A major- ity of thirty votes. The German Papers state that a large Russian army has marched to reinforce the troops hi fhe Principalities of YVallachia and Moldavia. A letter from Dover, under the date of Fridny evening, says:—" The British fleet of men of war are all gone this day for the Dutch coast; they took twenty- four branch pilots from Dover and Deal.

In order that our Readers may the better under- stand the subjoined narrative, it may be useful fo observe that Bristol is a City and County of itself, and that, like London, its municipality holds Sessions for trial of prisoners charged with the highest offences, the Recorder silting its Judge of the Court— Sir Charles Wetherell is the Recorder, and the Sessions wa* to have commenced ou Monday last. In the Bristol Jovrnul, of Saturday lust, the Editor of that Paper said— Appiehensions having been entertained that insult or violence would be offered to Sir Charles Wetherell, our Recorder, on his entrance into the city to- day, on account of his unflinching opposition to the Reform Bill, the Magistrates have deemed it proper to adopt every precaution to preserve the peace; ana in addition to swearing in a numerous body of special constables, three troops of cavalry, namely, two troops of the 14th Light Dragoons and one of the 3d Dragoon Guards have arrived, tlie former at Clifton, and the hitter at Keynshain, who, it is expected, will be stationed to- day in the more immediate neighbourhood of the city, to act if required. This precaution was highly necessary j for however strong may be the reliance of the Ma- gistracy on the better- disposed part of the community, it cannot be disguised that there are among us a set of desperate men, instigated, it is feared, hy Birmingham frorii good authority, that the mob of Bath hate commenced their work of destruction in that city. Here there was no Sir Charles Wetherell; but, wc suppose, we shall be told all this is done from respect to the Ministry, arid to show the attachment of ihe people to the Bill!— Out upon such stuff! thc pub- lication of such incitements as have recently appeared in the Government prints wotild be tolerated under 110 other than the present Administration. EARL GOWER.— REFORM. delegates, who would take advantage of any occurrence as a pretence- for offering violence to the constituted authorities. The judicial capacity in which Sir Charles Wetkere. il appears among us— the representative ofthe King— would be no protection from the lawless at- tempts. of the disaffected. The following notice was issued by the Magistrates yesterday : " Council-. House, Bristol, 27tl> October, 1831. " It being apprehended, from information received through various channels, that some indiscieet persons may be inclined to promote feeling* of irritation and excitement on the arrival of the Recorder, in this City, THR MAYO'R AND ALDKKM TTN most ejnneritly hope tlust all classes of their Fellow- Citizens, however they may differ on political subjects, will see the propriety of cordially ep'- operatipg to maintain peace and good order ; and that they Will abstain from manifesting- any declaration of ihti. i opinions on so solemn and important ail occasion afl the Delivery , of His Majesty's Gaol, in cases affecting the lives of the persons to be tried for offences against the laws of their country, , The Magistrates confidently trust that they may rely on tlie good sense and discretion of the Inhabitants uot to depart from that orderly conduct which has hitherto prevailed in the city; but should any disposition tie shewn, tending to create disturbance, they feel it will become their imperative duty to use all lawful means for the apprehending and bringing to punishment all persons who may he found committing any breach' of the Peace or other ilieg-. il act. " By Order of thc Mayor and Aldermen, 41 LUDLOW, Town- Clerk." We are happy to he able to announce to our renders tlmt the Editors of the Times and Morning Chro- nicle newspapers ( the latter of which has been ad- vertised as the accredited organ of the Ministry,) bave at last nearly reached the exact point desired by nil men of ordinary understanding, who are not en- veloped iii tiie deceitful misfof political excitement and partizauship; that they are building far too con- fidently for the attainment of their own wretched and unprincipled ends, on what they consider the stupidity of their countrymen ; that the eyes of Ihe country are opening viifh ever- quickening perception to the precipice to which they Would advance i\ ; and that the seceders from the moiMemerit parly are mul- tiplying from day to day. The Times and the Chronicle declare that the people are unanimous for the Reform Bill, and this being the case, that they must carry it. Wo admit, ihe premises being granted, that the conclusion is inevitable. No one can doubt it. What then does the Timet recommend in its columns to this unani- mous people ? . • To form themselves <( into Political Societies throughout the whole realm," < 4 to he framed on a principle of military hierarchy, capable of resorting to arms iu ctfse fcf attacks by tumultuous mobs on persons, habitations, or goods, but not appearing or acting as armed bodies until self- preservation, Or the protection of neighbours, shall require it of them **— 44 It might be desirable that the above volunteer bodies, whom we shall call the * Conservative Guard,' should be drilled occasionally, and taught the use of the fiielock, that when the necessity arose, if arise it should, they might not be altogether incompetent • allies of the regular army and the civil authorities, in maintaining public order aud tranquillity !! 1" An unanimous people, with otie voice, desiring one thing, with a Government aud a Princf having this one end as the object of their dearest Solicitude : — uud ihe entire people, 44 throughout the whole realm," aie to lake amis— against whom? Against themselves, — for there can be no other enemy opposed to au unanimous people. Is all this to be done to defend iheir ' 4 persons, habitations, and { roods, 1* against the 1<) 9 Peers and Bishops and the 300 Commoners who opposed the Bill !! Such a proposal can deceive no one who is not re- solved to be deceived. An immense Political Union is now to be formed in the metropolis of which Sir Francis Burdett is to be the head. Our readers have already heard of tlx* Birmingham, Sheffield, Man- chester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Carlisle, and other unions of a similar kind. Without arms, these un. constitutional associations have assumed an altitude threatening to the Legislature, while they have been fostered and cherished into greater vigour and power by our infatuated Cabinet. Such au\ nbion is now to be formed on the grainiest scale in the m^ tiopolis, em- bracing iu its' territorial boundaries the Parliament and Ihe Court. ARM'S are demanded for them : aud the millions now with arms in their hands, are to carry their wishes ( « e should say their commands) to the Government and the Throne/ not through ihe chuunels appointed by ihe Constitution, but at the sword1* point, under the lending of their respectable heads. Who will govern I he eoiftttry when this blessed change is effected? The King?' The Go. vernment ? The three Estates? Tbe men, who from station, aud character, aud conduct, and talents, have reached the apex of society ? Not al ull. Partly by Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Attwood of Birmingham, and Mr. Pearson, the radical attorney, wilh their more powerful associates, Col Jones, tlie ci- devant guardsman ; Scales, the carcase butcher; Stevens and Fearon, the gin- shop- keepers ; Mr. Wakley, the freethiiiking surgeon; Mr. Place, ihe tailor; the Popish priest aud his Socinian brother, so well know n at Birmingham ; and the other worthies throughout tbe kingdom of a similar stamp and order. With the Times, Morning Chronicle, Examiner, BaUot, Sfc. as iheir organs, tools, and casiigators. We assure our countrymen who have any thing to lose, that it is lime to rouse themselves from their lethargic inactivity. It is time to take .. decisive slej » i for the preservation of all that is dear in civil life, and valuable hi the English' Constitution. What these steps ought lo be we stop not to enquire. But that some steps must be taken to resist the encroach- ments of a faction, Who now see. distinctly that the country is awakening to the triie character of their objects and proceedings, who see that the sentiments of the respectable orders of the, community are wholly changing, and therefore resort to desperate expedients to maintain the delusion which is fast dispersing under the good sense of the country— we say some decided and udeq. tiaie means must be taken to otter resistance to these foolish aud unprincipled men ; or they will soon Involve themselves and the' community at large in one common ruin. We might reinforce what we have said upon the subject by the contemporary cases of Belgium and France, iu each of which countries a National Guard, embodied under pretence of preserving order, bas • reeled i self into a military democracy. History and the instruction of contemporary events ar", however, both thrown aay upon people like those with whom we have lo deal, or upon those who can be led by such people, and therefore we come plainly to the question— What honest purpose can there be in putting anus into the ha* n< ls of men, who, it is confessed, are already excited to tl* e utmost, aud of whom it is said lhat they f » » rm the bulk of the nation ? Is it necessary to regiment, and arm, and discipline a whole people to resist a hundred aud ninety- nine lay lords and bishops, and about three hundred members of the House of Commons? Are urn ihe King, and fhe regular standing army, and the police force, adequate to keep iu order this refractory five hundred, even had they shown more disposition lo outrage than lltey have done — in permitting their bouses to be burned, their property destroyed, and their persons assaulted ? Is not Kiug William able to maintain his state against these terrible Lords spiritual and temporal, and iheir 300 allies, without the snper- viceroyaltyship of an . English Lafayette, in the shape of old King Burdett? We suppose it will not be pretended that the five hundred are al- ready so formidable that, to resist them, a national armament, in aid of the King, the ministry, the standing armv, and the police, has become necessary, nud what then is the honest motive of the summons to arms ? There can be 7to hojiest motive * and therefore, as the arming of a whole people, in a time of great excitement, cannot be au indifferent thing, we must look for a dishonest one. We ha- ve not far to seek — the motive is rebellion; tlie proposed levying of war is an overt uci of treason.

The Represent- ative of the King, acting in the high judicial office which he fills in that city, was, in the person of Sir Charles Wetherell, grossly insulted and riotously assailed, while opening the Koyal Commission, by an assembly of traitors, who, under pretence of shouting for " tlie King and Reform 1" prevented the business of the Court from proceeding,— and then commenced a series of outrages unequalled since the period of the French Revolution. JFor_ all these things the present Ministers are morally responsible. They have personally recognized the' Revolutionary Unions formed in fhe country: and they well know that not one tangible benefit could be derived by the public if their Reform Bill were passed to- morrow; while any man who is not wilfully blind may see that, like the box of Pandora, it is rife with every plague, and with every purpose that dan tend to produce disorder, ruhj, bloodshed and revolution.

Tlirse anticipations grounded. On Saturday morning, tlie arrival of Sir Charles Wetherell being expected, by ten o'clock, several thousand persons had assembled at Tolteraown; await- ing his approach. At half- past ten his arrival was an- nounced; he was attended by about 500 special constat bles, with staves. The moment he came within sight of the populace, execrations, veils, and groans were uttered, loud and deep. Several volleys of stones were thrown. This was continued all the way thence to Broad- street. Dense masses of people thronged all the road. The Recorder reached trie Guildhall, and pro- ceeded to open the. Commission, but from th6 groans and yells not d word could be heard. Sir C. threatened in vain to commit; the noise increased. Constables were then scut into the body pf the Hall to seize the offenders. Tlie people then began coughing, so that still not a word of the Commission could be heard. When concluded, three tremendous cheers were given for 11 the King and Reform," which was echoed by the thousands outside... Afterwards, Sir C. proceeded to the Mansion House, amidst continued groans. In passing the Commercial Rooms, he was cheered by the gentlemen then assembled in the rooms; this quite infuriated the mob, who entered the Mansion Hon e. Another' volley of . stones was now thrown, fortunately without injury. Several thousand persons were col- ' lected round trie Mansion House, two or three windows of which were broken. A slight scuffle now ensued. between the mob and special constables, and two or three were taken into custody. A general rush was then made by the people to the Quay, where they armed themselves with bludgeons. They were met on their return by the special constables, who Completely routed them, and many threw down their bludgeons. The crowd, however-, still increased, and several more windows were soon broken. The Mayor threatened to read the riot act, at which a stone was thrown at him with so nice an aim that had he not lowered his head it must have killed him. At five o'clock the riot act was read, immediately after which every window, frames and all., in the Mansion House, was smashed to pieces. The 14th Dragoons now arrived, at which the mob be- came more infuriated. The town was one scene of disorder, noise, and confusion ; loud huzzaing from the people, and soldiers riding up and down. This scene of confusion, and the numbers of the ioters, continued to increase duing the night and until SALOP INFIUMARY.— At the General Half yearly Board, held yesterday, the following gentlemen were elected Directors of that Charity for the ensuing year, to succeed others who retire by rotation : viz. the Rev.

SAVINGS' BANKS— J. T. Pratt, Esq. the barrister- at- law appointed by government to certify the rules of savings' banks, has just published a list of all the saving banks in England, Wales, and Ireland, which contains some highly useful information re- lative to these societies, which have produced so much good among the more humble classes. At the end of the year 1830, there were 412,217 depo sitors, being an increase iu that year of 12,682, the average of whose deposits amounted to f* 32 each. The total quantity of investments, on Nov. 30, 1830, amounted to no less a sum than £ 14,366,967. riotS. ... two o'clock oi Sunday morning/ when a large party of the mob left Queen- Sq'Uarc Co attack the Council House, and were followed by a party of dragoons. A skirmish took place in Wine- street, and one man ( who had assaulted a soldier) was shot. The dragoons having succeeded in restoring something like quiet, the greater part of them were'permitted to go and take refrSsnmcnt; and duriiVg their absence the mob attacked the Mansion House, of which they obtained complete possession, and destroyed all the furniture, drank all the wine in the cellar, and,' as they thus became intoxicated, they became more outrageous; and were evidently led oil by a number of strangers, td Whoiif scenes of plunder appeared more familiar. The mob now received an accession of strength in the arrival of a body of misguided men belonging to combinations and " unions" of the collieries in the ad- jacent district; and as the morning advanced they be- came more daring. The Sabbath- day no sabbath shone in Bristol; for about ten o'clock in the morning the rioters commenced a, regular attack upon the military, who were compelled to fire, and numbers of the mob were killed or wounded. The immense increase, how- ever, that the rioters had now received rendered useless all attempts of. the small force in the city to resist them with effect: and Sir Charle$ Wetherell left the City, satisfied that it would be impossible to lfold the Sessions under these circumstances'. ' The rioters then proceeded to the city Bridewell, and having liberated all the prisoners, they set the luiilding on fire. They ne\ t we t to the New Gaol, where they liberated more than 200 prisoners, and then Fet it on fire. From thence they proceeded to the La\ v!" ord's Gate Prison, where they liberated the prisoners, and then set that building on fire; and next they went to the Bishop's Palace, which they likewise set on fire. These outrages occupied them during the day ; and many lives were lost among the rioters, and others of their number were severely injured. At eight o'clock on Sunday night, they again proceeded to the Mansion House, which they entirely destroyed by fire, together with all the houses on that side of Queen Square, including, the Custom- House. They then pro- ceeded to the Excise- Office, to which they set fire, as they afterwards did to all the houses on that, side the square up to the next, avenue, the whole of which were burningtogether, and formedamost appalling spectacle. Thus were the rioters occupied during Sunday night and Monday morning: every resistance possible Was made by the small force at hand, aided by many re- spectable inhabitants : the rioters were m^ conseqiienCe prevented from doing, as they otherwise were evidently determined to do, namely, set the whole city on fire : and numbers- of them were killed or wounded; while others of them lost their lives in the buildings to, which they had set fire, and from which, owing to their being in a state of intoxication, they could not escape, but were buried in the falling ruins f At one o'clock on Monday, two additional troops of cavalry arrived from Gloucester, and the soldiers then commenced a regular clearance of the streets of the city: in about half an hour more than twenty of the wretches that had been concerned in the atrocities we have described fell by the swords of the cavalry, and their confederates retreated in every diieCtion ; so that by two o'clock on Monday afternoon, the streets were cleared, all the shops in the city being of course shut, and every description of business suspended. Messengers had been sent to Dorchester and other places for additional military force, and when bur in- formation left Bristol, at three o'clock on Monday afternoon, additional reinforcements were momentarily expected, and the outrages were looked upon as terminated.' If any thing were wanting to shew the nature vf these outrages, and in what and whence they ori( fin- al <\ it may be found in the diabolical declarations and insinuations of the Ministerial Papers, and of some of those by whom they are countenanced, who charge all the blame of the riots at Bristol upon Sir Charles Wetherell, for going to open the Commission, knowing, a9 they say, that his presence would be obnoxious to the multitude! The villainous minds in which such ideas can alone have their origin, thus afford ample proof of what is meant by 44 Reform." Sir Charles is obnoxious to the mob ; and therefore no Assizes can take place in Bristol! Under what Government do we live, if language and conduct such as this is to be maintained ? Di<] ever any man know a Judge that was a popular character with murderers, incendiaries, thieves, and traitors, such as have composed this Bristol mob, their leaders, and their abettors?— Besides, we have just heard, and MINIATURE PAINTING— Want of r;> om presents our doing more than requesting public attenfiqn to the elegant specimens of Miss Jackson's talent; whifc'h are now on view in this town.— See Advert.

The report of the proceedings at this splendid meeting having been copied from our Journal into the Albion London newspaper of Friday last, the Editor of that Paper says:— " A report of the public dinner at Welsh Pool, to celebrate the return of thc Right Hon. C. W. W. Wynn, as Member for the county of Montgomery, is given in another part of our pi| ier. What a striking Contrast it presents to the wre. tcned meetings with reports of which the radical. press abounds I It is impossible to read the spcech of Mr. Wynn without feeling refreshed, enliven- ed, and encouraged, by the true English spirit which it breathes, and the pure, loyal, and constitutional doctrine it inculcates; Mr. Wynn loves the constitution, but he i? not blind to iis defects, lie is, and has always been, a reformer,' a. s far as the correction of these defects; but lie catuiot support thc destruction of the constitution with a view to uncertain improvement. He sees— and who is- there,. capable of observation, that does not see wilh hiin— that the doctrines which created so much misery in France, are now openly professed in this country. I.. any one doubts ii let him read the report of the speeches at the Birmingham meeting, the New- castle meetiiig,* uid other radical meetings— the emblems exhibited nn these occasions, and hailed with acclama- • itioto « '.- il 1 nnl pniu- in- d hinS. let him read A meeting, not of the freeholders I but of the " inhabitants" of Staffordshire, was called by the Sheriff, pursuant to a requisition froin a body of the " inhabitants" of that county, and was held on Tuesday last, at Stafford. Deputations frorti the towns of Wal- sall, Bilston, Wolverhampton, See. made llieir appear- ance ; and the Stafford Paper states that, altogether about three thousand persons mustered. The High Sheriff was accompanied by the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Lichfield ( late Lord Anson), and the Earl of Uxbridge ( son of the Marquis of Anglesey); the names of about a score gentlemen are also given, as of individuals present; and at their head is " Sir Charles Wolseley, Bart"— We nee'd, therefore, say no more of the composition of the meeting.— The avowed object, as may very naturally be supposed, was to express their confidence in the present Administration, and their admiration of their plan of Reform. All this might have passed, as far as we are con- cerned, without observation,- had not a Nobleman resident in this county, arid tor whom we feel bound to entertain great respect, identified himself with the parties and their views, by whouft the above meeting i was got up and conducted The nobleman to whom we allude is Earl GOVVF. R— the representative of one of the greatest landed interests in this county, and who, but a few years figo', was ousted from the representation of Staffordshire by the parties with whom he has now connected himself.— On a former occasion, he, as many others did,— and as every honest man might very we'll do,— announced himself 44 a Reformer:" but the question at issue is, < 4 What is Reform?"— His Lordship's views are now defined.— The following is his letter: — " Trentham, October 24, 1831. " MY HEAR SIR, " Having had the honour <- f attending and of faking a part in the proceedings of the last County Meeting in favour of the Reform Bill, ami, having uniformly supported it, 1 trust that mv absence on Tuesday will not leave room for any doubt of my earnest desire for the full attainment of the great object of the meeting. I need hardly assure you that my opinions re- main Unchanged. I consider the accomplishment of a real reform to be most just and right and neceSsary. The Bill seemed to present the most likely means ever proposed to Parliament for obtaining that most desirable result; and I place implicit confidence in Lord Grey, and the assurance of iiis firm determination to persevere, and to vindicate the honour of our constitution by measures equally effective. " The late unfortunate decision of the House of Lords hav- ing occasioned the necessity for this meeting, I, as a member of that House, am unwilling to say much on that subject; but I look forward wilh the hope, ere long, of again voting upon this most important question with better success. I can- not believe that many can so fatally mistake their true interest as to conceive it to be founded on a continuance of abuses and corruptions. It cannot be expected that a great and comprehensive measure, extending widely and affecting a vast variety of interests, should give entire satisfaction even to all the friends of reform. Yet though reasonable suggestions should meet with due attention, minor and partial objections must. give way to the general feeling for the public good. No doubt can be entertained of the desire of a great majority of the country : our county has come forward, as befits her rank aud importance, to declare and confirm the general wish, with which il gives me extreme satisfaction to know that my father, as well as myself, most fully and entirely concur. " I ha\ e the honour to be, " My dear Sir, 44 Your faithful servant, •• GOWER." Iiis Lordship here terms the late decision of the House of Lords " unfortunate," and announces that his 44 father" ^ the Marquis of Stafford) and himself 44 entirely concur" in the 44 general wish," which is further explained by his 44 earnest desire for the full attainment of the great object of the meeting,' f to whose chairman he addressed his letter. We shall now proceed to elucidate that object. And when we r£ fer to the indubitable records of our coun- try, and see the names of Sir Thomas Gower the elder and Sir Thomas Gawer the yotinger* father and son, with that of Sir Richard Leveson— the owners of Stittenham, of Trentham,- Slid of Lilleshall— among the opponents of, and gveat sufferers by, the 44 Com- monwealth Reformers I71 of their times* and compare their conflict with that of the/ a/ Aer arid son who now hold the domains of those, two of whom were their lineal ancestor^ and the other a Collateral predecessor, ws ask,- Why is this great change of system adopted in the representatives ot those ancient Houses ? It cannot be said— because the 44 Reform" now sought is not, as then; a Revolution: for the Earl of Lichfield— one of 44 the order"— sayS, iri addressing the Staffordshire meeting— " The struggle ^ rts between the King, tbe People, and the patriotic portion of the aristocracy, against a sordid oligarchy, who wished to maintain their own corrupt interests, in opposi- tion to the interests of the people." Thus boldly sp'oke my Lord of Lichfield!— And with whom does his Lordship, in thus abusing and debasing tlienariie of his Sovereign, associate himself? Unquestionably with the delegates of Unions— with the 44 inhabitants"— to whom he addressed thc above language; What then, are 44 the interests of the people," accord- ing to the Earl of Lichfield's statement? We will proceed to shew what the 44 Reformers" set forth on this head ; and we presume that when we produce their cei'fified publications^ my Lords Gower and Lichfield will not deny that these 44 people" have a defined idea of what they understand to be their own 44 interests." — We have now before us a paper circulated through- out the most populous district of Staffordshire, entitled 44 A Neiv Mirror, published for the Bilston Political Union," and signed 44 By order of the Council, R. Beiv, Chairman, J. Knight, Secretary." This docu- ment sets out with what its authors are pleased to term 14 A correct List of the Borough- mongers :" and we intreat the noble owners of Trentham and Lilleshall to observe, that the 44 MARQUIS OF STAFFORD" stands conspicuous in this 44 List," as nominating and in- fluencing the return of 44 5" Members of the House of Commons. The document then gives an enumeration of 44 a few" of the 44 extravagant benefits" derived by these 44 Borough- mongers," as follow;—• " Tax on Corn paid to the lauded Aristocracy.. j^ 3t, 800,000 Tax on Beef, Fork, and other Meat paid to Ditto 62,100,000 Tax on Butler, Cheese, Hay, and other Vegetables, paid to Ditto 11,400,000 science I did not devote my energies to Reform % because it would have embarrassed Emancipation. I am anxious, at the present juncture, that you should combine your exertions for Reform, but 1 arn still more anxious that you should not abandon your conviction of the utility aud necessity of Repeal. Who imagines that, after the passing of Reform, 8,000,000 of people will continue to pay tithes to the clergy of half a million 1 Why, every man will pay to whom he likes, or to none at all, if he pleases. Who imagines that absentees, after the passing of Reform, would be allowed to squander the wealth of Ireland in a foreign land?" Such is the language of a man who has just been . appointed King's Counsel, by that Administration of which Lord Gower declares himself the supporter! What the followers of Mr. O'Connell in ooth king- doms mean is no secret. They have openly announced^ that the spoliation of the Established Church is a part of their object: one portion of them, too, has avowed that a restoration of the possessions of the 44 ancient church" is looked for; and that not only that species of what they term 44 church plunder," which includes the splendid domains of Woburn and Lilleshall, but also every species of similar property down to the rent- charge for burning a wax- taper before the image of 44 Our Lady" on the altar of St. Chad, in Shrewsbury,,. is registered! The conduct of certain members of the Aristocracy in the present day, reminds us forcibly of that beauti- ful passage of Tacitus, in which he describes the state of Rome on the accession of Tiberius to the [ mperial Throne, when all rushed headlong into slavery; and the rtlore elevated any person was, the more ready and apt was he to become an instrument of destroying the ancient Constitution ; the result then was, the estab- lishment of an arbitrary Monarchy; for the people, betrayed by their natural leaders, chose rather to sub- mit to the absolute will of one man, who had it in his power to reward their servility, than to be further imposed upon by a body of profligate and treacherous tools, whose duty it was to defend them. Earl Gower professes the Protestant Religion; and we doubt not conscientiously : but what is the conduct of the party with- whom he has allied himself. They issue caricatures for the purpose of holding the Pre- lates of tlie Established Cntirch up to contempt— deri- sion and scorn are employed against them in the public theatres— speakers at all the Radical Meetings have reviled and abused them— mobs have been incited to destroy their residences, and to burn them in effigy— the Bishop of London has been rudely and indecently prevented from advocating the claims of a public, charity in the metropolis— and the Archbishop of Can- terbury and the Bishop of Bath and Wells have been violently assailed whilst in the exercise of their sacred calling. Look at the language of those who now attack the Prelates of our Chtircn.— At Birmingham, the Political Union resolves— 44 That iu the opinion of this meeting the systematic opposi- tion of nearly the whole corporation of Lords Spiritual to the Constitutional rights of the people— of those who voted against the Bill and those who absented themselves—- their rooted at- tachment to corrupt and corrupting institutions, and political disregard of thc first principles of lhat holy religion of which they claint to be pre- eminently the ministers — have juntlv deprived them of the national resppct and confidence, and vriil ultimately be the means of depriving them of their legislative functions." Total Bread and Meat Tax paid to Land Owners 105,600,000 To this add the Government Taxes, iu round numbers, say.. other 52,000,000 8,000,000 Tithes and Church Revenue* Poor Rates, Grand Jury, Cress, Crown and Cor. poration Lands, and other miscellaneous items 10,000,000 At Newcastle* one of the orators says- 44 How shall I now approach those great and reverend per- sonages, the bishops- ( laughter) - the creatures in big wigs ' and lawn sleeves, whom you so much admire and re « pect.~- ( Laughter and derision.) I touch this theme with an exultinjc spirit. I rejoice that they have openly displayed their hatred „ to the peopffc. I rejoice that they have recorded their votes against this great measure of popular liberty.-- ( Lond cheers.) 1 rejoice that the spirit of madness which precedes destruction is upon them.—( Cheers ) I rejoice that they have preserved fo the last the consistency of their character - ( CheersV- that • they have not degenerated from their predecessors into one single act of public virtue. From the first establishment of the Church of England down to the present hour, they have ever been the slaves of avarice, the minions of power, the op- pressors of the people, thc holy allies of despotism and tyranny. —( Cheers, wilh a single cry of 4no, sir ') The Archbishop of - Canterbury, the mouth- piece of ttie rest, not only voted bnt spoke against the bill. Never will that speech nor that vote be forgotten. They will be engraved, not on tablets of stone or tables of brass, but, like the law of nature, in indelible characters on the hearts of the people. The day of vengeance' a id retribution is advancing with hasty and gigantic strides — ( Loud applause.) The heavens are lowering ou the ecclesiasti- cal establishment of this country. The clouds which menace its destruction, and which, when they burst, will pour a tor- rent of desolation on this haughty and oppressive church, are £ aMiering fast. The storm, whose lightning will shiver to atoms the turrets of its episcopal palace*, and whose thunder will shake their massive walls to their very foundation, ap- proaches fast.—-( Loud cheering ) The hand- writing against this mystical Babylon is even now on the wall—( great ap- plauses- while its prelates are rioting iu luxury, and reposing m fancied security, dreaming to the last, I'll warrant you, of benefices and translation—( Cheers and laughter.) The enemy is at the gates, its fall is at hand- -( Loud cheers)- - and when ft does fiill, it will fall amidst the rejoicings of a people whom it has oppressed, and with whose liberties its existence is in- compatible— swollen with pride, gorged with wealth, bloated with pomp and arrogance—. its avarice unappeased, and its luxury insatiable.—( Tumultuous applause.) Lord Gower will doubtless say— that these are not his sentiments: we know they are not ; but they are . the sentiments of that party with whom he has now " become identified; and that they are not the mere idle effusions of mob meetings anrl mob ojators, but part of a plan maturely framed, and determinedly persevered in, will be apparent from a perusal not merely of the revolutionary journals published weekly and daily, but from an examination of those publications hitherto considered more respectahle in their character. In the Monthly Review we find the whole 44 order" of the Peerage libelled as follows:— 44 As a body, the Peers have been for many years gradually ' becoming less and less venerated. Their education ir by no means so well attended to as it had heen iu former times; in this respect they are excelled even by the mechanical classes, not to speak of the wealthy ranks which interpose between the latter and the peerage- - those ranks from amongst which our best statesmen, our most able politicinns, and those dis- tinguished men who constitute the pride of our country in the eyes of foreign nations, have sprung. And then look at the morality of the Peerage. Do they, generally speaking, even know what morality means? To such a pitch have gambling and other crimes in high life carried the extra- vagance of expenditure, that there is hardly an estate in the possession of a peer which is not mortgaged beyond its value; numliers of them have not the means of paying their trades, people; and more than three fourths of them would now be lying in the King's Bench, if their privilege had not pro- tected them f « - om arrest. Had they been wirhin the meaning of the bankrupt laws, they would not have a bed to sleep Upon * If, « after this, the Lords of Stafford, Westminster, Cleveland, Govver, & c. cannot understand to what that Total amount of Public Property annually con- verted into Private 175,600,000 For supposed exaggerations in this estimate, and allowing the Aristocracy to contribute their portion of this expenditure, let us deduct 25,600,000 tious : and if these will not convince lnni, let him read the leading articles of the radical press of London ! It was justly observed by Mr. WJynn, that at all periods, and iii all countries, the invariable cry of the lawless and the profligate was 4 Reform.' In these times it was seen that, when the so1 e object was plunder and confiscation, whether with DeSpard or with Thistlewood and Watson, the cry was 4 Reform,' while theironly object was blood and plunder. This is matter of history- and we chal- lenge contradiction. Upon what ground, then, can it be contended that those in this country who pursue the same course that led to revolution in France, have any olher object here* call themselves by whatever name they may— whether Jacobins, Radicals* Reformers or Revolutionists.. Here * Reform' is the fashionable title, but the heart, the spirit, and the substance, are the same. 4 Liberty? said Mr. M. Price* in addressing the meeting, 4 is, indeed, as she has somewhere been called, our 4 Island Goddess,' bearing , the mountain freshness on her cheek, arid scattering the valley's bounty from her hand, known by the joys that herald her fair presence, the peaceful virtues that attend her. path, and the long blaze of glory that lights her train;' but 4 Radicalism' is a demon speaking \ air, indeed, deceiving you with airy hopes and visionary shadows, but within the folding of. its mantle hiding the bloody symbol of its purpose." Captain R. M. B. Maurice, of the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry Cavalry* invited his Troop to a Dinner and Ball at the Town Hall, in Llanfyllin, on Monday? the 424lh ult. After going through their duties of training and exercise in the morning in a manner which reflected great credit upon the Officers, the party partook of a sumptuous . dinner, which was provided from the Wynn- stay Arms.— The Ball, which was most numerously and respectably attended, was opened by Captain Maurice and Miss Humffreys, of Llwyn, and the dancing kept up with great spirit until a late hour, or rather an early hour on the following morning, when the company left evidently much pleased with the enjoyments of the evening, and thc politeness and attention of the Captain and his Brother Officers. The Lord Bishop of St. David's has been pleased to present the Rev. John Hughes, Incumbent of Si Michael's, Aberystwith, to the Prebendary Stall of Nantgunllo, in the Collegiate Church of Brecon, vacant by the death of the Rev B. Newton. TESTIMONY OF RESPF. CT.— The Officers and Privates of the late Royal Maelor Yeomanry Cavalry, met on Monday week, at the Emral Arms and Plough Inns, in Worthenbury, for the purpose of presenting tlieir late Colonel, Sir Richard Puleston, Bart, with an handsome piece of plate, as a token of their great esteem forhim. A very excellent dinner was provided on the occasion by Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Movie. As soon as the cloth was withdrawn, Capt. Edwards, in a very ap- propriate speech, addressed thc gallantColonel, express- ing the hign gratification which he felt in presenting him with a substantial token of his late comrades' regards. — Sir Richard acknowledged the compliment in very handsome terms, which drew forth repeated rounds of applause. The remainder of the evening was spent in the utmost hilarity. We understand that this is the second piece of plate which the Maelor Cavalry have presented to Sir Richard Pulcston. There will then remain an annual burden on the people c/ f 1.90,000,000 or in other words, they are ROBBBD of this enormous sum annually by the statute laws of an unreformed Parliament, for the benefit of the Aristocracy, and their dependents." This 44 New Mirror" concludes with some verses, of ^ hlch the, following are a specimen : — 44 And yet they say their system's good, We mean those men of noble blood, Who thus their craft extol » Likewise debase their noble birth, By their deceitfulness ou earth, To keep poor men in thrall. O what a hellish system this. Yet they contcnd it's not amiss. Vengeince to slaves doth not belong, But Union makes us very strong, And for relief we call < F. xcepl our 1 ulers wilh us treat, ' We can no longer bear the weight, Jt must upon them fall " We would ask my Lords of Gower and Lichfield whit must be the views of those by whom such docu- ments are drawn up, and what must be the result produced by their circulation through the densely- peopled districts in which they are distributed? He that runs may read the lesson such atrocious publica- tio s ace intended to inculcate; and if the Noble Lords to whom we have addressed ourselves should imagine that the leaders of Reform have no such ulterior views as are brbadly stated in the above and similar publica- tions, we would refer them to the language of those who will, at least, be deemed good witnesses on this important subject. Lord Milton, at Sheffield, and the Earl of Shrews- bury, forsooth, at the Stafford meeting, took great pains to persuade the respective assemblages of 44 inha- bitants" to whom they addressed themselves, that it was not. the 44 ancient nobles" in the Peerage that had rejected the Reform Bill. Lord Shrewsbury said— 44The fact was that the trifling majority against the bill was composed of those who owed their existence to that system which they were about to destroy. ( Applause..) The peerage as it existed before tbe commencement ot' the reign of George the Third, or rather, he should say, before the reign of Pitt— | ( Iiughterand cheers)— had already carried the question, and i was it not preposterous to suppose that an oligarchical faction I could succeed in placing themselves between the Throne and the People, and opposing the just rights and desires of the country ( Cheers )— They would discover, however, that they could not attune the minds of Englishmen at their will. How was it with that other great question of Reform, in which the rights of the people of Ireland were so deeply involved? These were the very same men who then spoke of the indiffer- ence of the people, until their false charges occasioned the formation ofa power, which at length overawed all opposition, aud won their cause. ( Cheers.) We shall here produce testimony that will not be disputed by my Lord Shrewsbury at any rate, for our witness is one of his oivn creed in every respect— one who knows perfectly well how it was with 44 that other great question of Reform"— one who has openly avowed that the 44 other great question" was only a step to ulterior objects. At a dinner given in Dublin last week, Mr. O'Connell proposed as a toast 44 The Repeal of the Union between Great Britain and Ire- land ;" and in refeience to that toast he said— 44 Convinced of its justice, hut acting a? practical man and a tradesman, I have not recently put forward Repeal, because it would embarras? Reforyi ^ ly/ jen struggling for liberty of con. course must lead, to which they are so rapidly urging the country, we can only say— great, indeed, must be their infatuation. Some there are, we know, who, pro- fessing to venerate the Church, affect to believe it will not suffer by any diminution of its temporal power or revenue*, but that, like a phoenix, it will arise in redoubled splendour from the ashes of its former estate. Alas! what warrant have we for such an expectation? Look at Holy Writ, and say, whether the Protestant Church, crushed and revived, would not be, like the Second Temple, but a humble substitute for the original:— t. he aged men, as Ezra records, who recol- lected the first temple, wept to see the foundations of the second! As to temporal matters, to what but confusion and spoliation can the present conduct of the government and its supporters lead?— What the expec- tations of the many on whom they rely are, we may read not only in their publications and speeches, as above quoted, but in the tumults of Derby, of Not- tingham, and of Bristol: that the realization of such expectations can accord with any degree of security for life or property is totally impossible: and unless, therefore, the destroyers of the peace of their country who are now at the head of affairs shall speedily resign those places for which they are utterly incapable, what man can say where this scene of strife is to end ? — confidence is diminishing every day, and when confi- dence is annihilated, whence can subsistence for the nation be obtained?— whence can the multitude derive honest employment', the tradesman business, the fund- holder, mortgagee, or annuitant, his annual payment, or the landlord his rent?— We pause for answers to these questions. EFFECTS OF THE REFORM BII. L.— On Friday last, the Copt horn Estate, the properly of John Mytton, F. sq was sold by auction, in lots, nt ihe Lion Inn; and a larg- e portion of the Shreusbury Race Course was purchased by John Whiiehuist, Esq. of this town. On the whole, the lots did not fetch so ' much by from 50 lo 75 per cent as ihe adjoining lands sold nt a previous sale of Mr. Mylton's pro- perly. Mr. Clnridye, the auctioneer on the present occasion, expressed his surprise at this circumstance, ond observed that he could not account for it : on which a gentleman present, whose habits of business and general iulelligence none will question, said lies thought he could tell what was the cause of the de- preciation ; his solution might, perhaps, cause n laugh, but his opinion was, thai it was the effect the agitation of the Reform Bill. Another ifeirtl^. man present, who has much to do with Ihe dif^ n. l oj?> property, said the agitation of the quesl- ou, had b. e^ j^ the cause of preventing persons emplo^ iy^ llpc. tR capital, and generally of damping ? uteryri> e of all kind. These, it may be relied up. op^ lh? opinions of practical men, and will \\\ tbi* district be generally responded to. Indeed, if nay person will look at the proceedings of the country ever since this compara- tively worthless subject was mooted, he must observe, that not one single undertaking of a public or private nature, iu which any considerable amount nf capital would he requisite, has heen attempted. Haw much, in consequence, must every description of b » , » *\ uefca ' *" r have lost, through the agitation of tbi « and how muoh « \ orj » will every substantia^ Her, if JhU hubbf?

AWFUL STATE OF THE COUNTRY HAD THfi REFORM BILL PASSED. Rut, when f lie t> iH is enrried,— uhch all is done these few friends of lifx- iij and'of 1' ie- people ( as ttioy are pleased to call tlieuisH ves) h-* ve so ofien promised; wlnit will ilie people lie tli< » t. eiier for it ? Is iheie one of those, reforming lords who has ever looked at the end ? Not one. The means sire nil tiny think of; nud when they hate accomplished h\ ihese fiieaus the end they little dreatti of, what will they tell the people, then ? What will these noble persons sav, u hen tiie poor mechanic, with his half- starved family, CHIIS OII. them for the ht » h vfages he has heen tanyht to expect, SUM! i* ie cheap bread v\ ii? » which lie Js to feed \ is children f VVuat do these nobles think their train of operatives expect lor all their labour ? — u hat hut some tang- ible g- ood ? and whence are they to g- et it ? They tuny, l> v t ieir wild conduct, hate detuned the church anil' i. thes; the clergy may be beggars but will those Who now live on their bounty, feed on their private alms, or maintain their families by their labour at the phr- uaag- es; be better fed or paid by those who tna. v have robbed the clergy of tlx ir incomes? Thev may destroy ihe taxes, but will lhat g- ive larger divi'detuN to the tuudholder, or enable hiUi to feed more liberally those who depend on him ? And does the tradesman and manufacturer suppose, that when those incomesJ are all destroyed through which they are now main, tain in themselves, that they shall be better enabled to bring up tlieir chifdrefi ? find that the pleasure of st vote for a representative will compensate for all the losses which the decay of trade will necessarily pro- duce? Tbe fact may lie, ( as the silly f. ord ay or of London has dared, ih tlie address which lie presented to his Majesty, to tell the Ring-,) that nothing 4i but td revive the hopes of the people and g- ite ! l; efu a eestaiii prospect of the" immediate passing of a billj similar td that which has been rejected^ will protein th* m$ s£ fearful national corninotfons but we venfurfe to say^ lhat the passing it will lead to worse, wlign disap- pointed hopeg a ii d long- taught, long cherished expect- ations, shall be blighted by the barren jesult of all these liberal measures. Then there will bfe commotions!-—' Then, Vvlion tof disappdintriient hunger adds its biting- vvniif, what will the lords say then, who uoW so liberal!^ premise ther ( cuovir not what? . What will Lord Milton aud tfif* ^ ancient nobility," 51 whoffi he putA in such opposite opinion wit! i the modem lords made by our late King^ and his ever respected fathef, what will they say tni pacify those nieirthey now delude by such absurd antl cruel speeches ? For cruel they will be foimd, when such bitter fruit as must be thfe resuit shall be all thei poor man can gather, to make up for the days of labour he has lost in running after the ignis fdtuiib of these mis- judgiug politician^. What will they say, wheii those whom they have s6 deceived open their eyes trf such unwelcome tiuths, and turn Upon t heir deceivers ? Do ihey think that Nottingham Ostle burnt bv a mo- dern mob will then stand a solitary instance ? Bo they { Stink, if the present disappointment, which these r oters believe they feel, 1 only from being taught tcl" » nng- ine they do so, can lead theiii to such lawless eon- duct—- that the aggravated di> appointuien. t, strong in proportion to the delusion under which they have so long existed, shall not produce proportionate result* ? And if it does, bow many castles, then, of those w ho now stil gaily upon the streaffi of popular delusion, sluilt belaid m ashes? When King Charles consented trf tlie death of Strafford, to please the people, lie oncotic sciously sealed his own dea'h- warrant. Lords Percy, Essex,* nnd Kimboulton, two centuries ago lived t<* repent their folly in misleading mobs, and we since. ely pray that those who, at the bidding frf their superiors^ have formed themselves into political unioris, and are taught to believe themselves as lit to legislate as those* persons are who hav& pa> sed all their livcS in ihe senate, may not at lengthj when they discover that even voting by ballot will not feed their children, of4 find them porter at their Uniofi club houses, turn upoii theif political schoolmasters, and, availing themselves of the distinct inn which Lord Milton has so kindly pointed but at Sheffield* drive these <£ ancient nobles*' from the land. If we might he permitted to offer our advice to these " old barons," we would say :— The people of this country are become a trading people ; they expect trt be regarded fUr what \\\ e$ do ; and when they are told that thty will b£ greatly ' benefitted by a measure, they believe that it will be in ri way tha? they cannot mis- take. The manufacturer and shopkeeper expect more business— the fanner thinks he shall obtain a better market, and better prices nf it— the workman conceives his wages will be raised, whilst all the - errtic 1.6s he has to buy as food aud clothing will be reridM'ed cheaper. Thus, at the very outset, the buyer and the seller are at variance; and yet these ahCient barons11 would teach all tfiese parties; that every man will find advan- tage in this bill. The advice, then, which we would humbly offer to these noble lords is this Call in font- stewards ; bid them take pen a fid ink, and write down the various benefits \ ott hope to give ; try by calcula- tion which cannot erf, whether the passing of this hill will raise farm produce* of increase the d 6 in and for silks and cottons try by w hut figures, iri arithmetic you can phive that a good fharket for th£ shopkeeper and the farther can agree vHth clothing and victual* at low prices; and give tfie viorld the tfttfde by which you find that high wages, and cheap bread, can, at the same time, ble » « the miwiuf « ctriring and farm la- bourer. If you fail iti this, ask you'f steward whether he can Work another sum, and prove lhat disappoint- ment and blighted h « ' pe3 may lead to burning castles, breaking open gaols, and stoning noblemen ; and if ho cannot make that calculation, send to Nottingham, to Derby, Bristol, and Westminster, aiid your lord- ships will find men enough who have been educated, uuder the political school Masters of the day, who will point out the mode, and piove it* truth. We pray you,, then, my lords, whilst there is time, to undeceive your- selves. Tlie calculations Joti forgot before, fail not to> m ike with all Convenient speed, before it is too late. Talk not so unadvisedly of benefits to come, that never can be realized!— for,' if ii please your lordships not only to give to every ten- pound householder, but Vnf every male within the realm, the right to vote for members, and to bn) lot for them also;— and if you- eni* find one man that shall be one shilling richer, or one jot the happier, we will find thousands for each* one of yours, who shall, in bitterness of disappointment, cmse- the day the political schoolmaster first induced them to leave their honest labours for the meeting of the po- litical unions, and their peaceful homes, and humhlo firesides to talk upon affairs which, when too late, thev will discover ihey know no more of than your lordship* do of tho> e imaginary benefits you promise. Be w mv lords, while yet you may. The schoolmaster in abroad; the rod is in his hancf; and lie will scourge the silly children who do not, with a rich and ample harvest, fulfil their early promises We have known the blighted hopes of other school masters end iu th<£ expulsion of their trwanf pupiU,— to change the ^ e. gory, we have al& o he: rrd of pupils turning rnvHKTi!| on their'masters and driving them from theif desks nf state, when they have led their pup- ihr to expect in- dulgeueies which they could nt> i grant— IV w ise in time then, my lords, of tU- « flour maywrrive, when wisdom may he useless. To those wrsguid'ecF and5 deceived" mechanics and la- bourers, who are led to expect things which eaii never come, we wonhl earnestly say :'-— Look toyowr families ; be not misled by those who would" betra- y you, under pretence1 of doingyon good, togain you- tu ihrrir pi ivate purposes. Remember, when they advise y- Aii to pull down ti * aot, or burn down a castle, or a FkeroTy, thev have norther object but to create coitfusit^ in the midst of which they can, undiscovered, carry their work of plunder.

CFrom The Humourist for 1S32.) We've often thought, and p'rhaps ' twill strike Tho reader, the Reform Bill's like Qnr subject plate,— a waggon; The fore- horse in the team's a Grey, And, though they're working night and day, Brit heavily tliey drag on. For our own parts, we never mix In state or civic politics, Yet wish " the Bill" may be a Most sov'reigu etire for England's ills, And prove, lit e Aberncthy's pills, A perfect panacea. We boast 110 legislative powers, But leave to wiser heads than ours The labours for w hich we Have 110 vocation, while we say, Cut every rotten branch away, But do not harm the Iree. Without pronouncing on "' the Bill," In praise or censure, there are still Some things wc cant help noting; For instance, those who t'other day Got ten pounds for their vote, will pay Ten pounds a- year for voting. In many a wight whose Crippled toe On cushion rests, " the Bill" will blow Up hope's expiring embers: He'll soon discard his gouty shoes, Bless'd with the liberty to choose Another set of mem\> ers. The poor especially, ' tis said, Expect " the Bill" will cheapen bread; We rather doubt it,— still Some reason in the hope we see. They've heard so much concerning the Promsions of " tbe Bill." And, should if pass into a law. Such wonders as the world ne'er saw Twifl bring aboOt, we trow; Since it has clauses that propose, We're told, to give a voice to those Who have no voices now. Thus Birmingham, for deeds in arms So famed, though safe from war's alarms, Will profit by the plan; While Manchester, of high renown,- Will send two members up to town By Pickford's caravan. Ami Sheffield, too, that shines in steel, Its benefits will surely feel Through all ils various trades ;• It needs 110 second sight to see Its representatives will be Two keen, well- teinper'd blades. Nay, in the " Commons' House," a few Would have tlie colonies vote too; How strange ' twould be some day, When Parliament for bns'ness meets, To see two members take their seats, Returned from Botany Bay 1 ' Tis more than probable " the Bill" Will oust a few old members; still There must be some who never Can care about a scat, since tliey Would be, could they but have their way, Upon their legs for ever. Our song is sung;— if ask'd to own Our party, we wonld answer, none, Whig, Radical, or Tory;— We rank ourselves among the friends Of those who, scorning private ends, Seek England's weal and glory, THE BISHOPS. not only without any mark of reprobation, but with undisguised satisfaction and delight. Who can doubt, fter ibis, that the judgment of the bishops was cor reef \ Can that have been a measure worthy of their support of which so large a proportion of the advo- cates take pains to prove themselves the furious and determined enemies of all religion ? HIGH COURT OF HONOUR. The session of the High Court of Honour opened on Saturday. The calendar is uncommonly heavy, and many of tbe charges are of the most heinous nature, and accompanied. hy circumstances of great aggravation. The Right Hon. Charles Earl Grey was put to the bar, w hen the President thus addressed him : — ' 1 Yon now, my lord, stand upon your trial before this High Court, the construction nnd practice of In., this Hit.'' The allies of olir revolutionary ministers, finding it somewhat loo hazardous to proceed further in their murderous attacks upon the persons of ( lie peers of the realm, or iu setting fire to their castles, arc en- deavouring to get rid of Ihc bile which their defeat has excited, and at once to flatter and support their friends in tbe administration, by directing every species of invective, calumny, and insalt against the prelates of the Church of England. This is very wise anil very manly no doubt, and precisely the kind of conduct which was to be ex- pected from reformers of the ministerial kidney, when they fonnd, moderate men as they are, tbat they could not fiave every thing exactly Iheir own way, and lhat their patrons in power could not go so far as to assure them of entire impunity in cutting throats or burning houses in revenge of their disappointment Wc have 110 intention cerlainly of undertaking fhe defence of Ihc bishops against such assailants as have \ et attacked them. This we feel would l. e to degrade alike 1 lie episcopal bench and ourselves. But it may lie worth while to mention one or two particulars which the reforming friends of Earl Grey nnd Lord Brougham constantly omit, anil which tire manifestly essential to any accurate or even rational estimate of tbe conduct and motives of tbe prelacy with respect to the late bill, not for the purpose of vindicating the latter, who assuredly need no vindication from us, but in order to show bow very small a portion of re- flection or good sense is required lo constitute that paragon of political perfection in nur day, a zealous thorough- going reformer, according to tlie bill. The bishops are, it so happens, the only class of persons who voted, in either House of Parliament, upon the bill, with respect to whom it can be demon rated that in opposing it they were entirely free from any personal, sordid, or corrupt motives. There is no doubt that other nun were actuated by motives equally pure with those which must have governed tbe conduct of the bishops; but the purity of motive con, wc reprat, in tbe case of no olher class of per- sons be so conclusively and undeniably established. The first personal inlerest of every bishop who has not yet attained lo the highest and richest nee i » to stand well with the administration ofthe day, and to this he has no interest whatsoever of a selfish nature to oppose. While tbe discussion of the bill was in progress reports of Ihe dangerous illness of the Bishop of Durham, nnd of some other of the prelates of England and Ireland, in possession of the wealthiest sees, were industriously promulgated. Why was this? To seduce the bishops to vote in favour of the nnd against their conscientious conviction. Of - e can be no doubt. Did the corrupt ternpta- '? We triumphantly refer lo the division. And'' why shi, J' 1' 1 tl, R llisWs liave ° PI"> sed the minister who was li^' V <° have P » wer " f in- their subserviency „.' « s0 munificent WM it that the bill destroyp< l borough property ? Which of the bishops, we den, an.', has any property of this description? Was it that Jhc bill was cal- culated lo diminidi nnv unjust or unconstitutional power of the aristocracy ? The bishops n." e for the most part aged men, and for the most part tiAnsmit 110 place in the aristocracy to their descendants, 11 as it that Ihc bill destroyed numerous corporations, or ilivested them of their privileges ? What have the bishops fo do with those corporations or their privi- leges any further than as they may consider them conducive to the public welfare? Was it that fie bill might probably lead the way to a reform in the church? What, if they be selfish or corrupt men, is lite church fo them, provided their life- interests be protected? And how could they so well secure that as by obeying tbe will of Ihe minister, and yielding ( 0 the Clamour of the people? If the bishops regarded Ibe bill 11s hostile to the interests of Ihe church, it was their duty to oppose it. In the one or the other, or both of these opinions, they may have been mistaken; but there is no class of men w ho have taken a part in the question, on either side, who are so completely armed as the prelates of the Church of England against the imputation of personal or corrupt motives. The bishops are abused und reviled by the reformers, then, merely because they have presumed to form und to act upon an opinion of their own, rafher than borrow their opinions from the class of persons who attempt assassination in tbe si reefs, w ho raise con- flagrations in tlie country, and, when they dare no longer pursue these very intellectual methods of prov ng themselves to be in ( be right, enter into con- spiracies to disturb the public services of religion in the parish churches of the metropolis. That tbe motives of the bishops were pure aud virtuous 110 man of common sense can for a moment doubt. Tbat Iheir judgment was also correct as to the character and tendency of tbe bill, Ihe partisans of that measure are labouring, if proof were wanting, to supply it day after day in tbe greatest abundance. The Bishop of London ( who gave 110 vote upon the measure) was to have preached 011 Sunday at St. Anne's, S0I10, in aid of the funds of a valuable local charity, and the reformers, the allies of his Majesty's ministers, of that and the neighbouring parishes, enter into a conspiracy to get possession of the church, to exclude the regular bearers, aud to insult tbe prelate, the temple, and tbat Power to Ihc service of which both are dedicated, by an abrupt and tumultuous departure at a given signal. The ministerial evening papers of Saturday announce this intended exploit which, il becomes my duty lo explain to you. " The Court of Hutiour' or 4 Public Opinion,' as il is some, times culled, is Ihe highest tribunal known in Ihis world. The Divine luw, ns IMr. Locke observes, men hope to elude ihrofigh mercy or repentance. The civil law they hope they niny'elmle through interest, corruption, and the incapacity of opposing counsel, or Ihe ingenuity of iheir own; bill Ihe law of honour or public opinion, by which you are lo be Iried, 110 man can elude. The whole world ure judges, jurors, and witnesses for or against liim, nnd wilh such a host innocence alone can successfully contend. No oath is administered in Ihis Coliit, neither are lawyers 01 counsel necessary. The clerk will read the indict- ment preferred against you, und you will then have to answer such questions as 1 shall feel it my duty to put," The indictment was then read it charged the defendant wilb having broken his solemn Word, repeatedly, publicly, rind deliberately given. The otl'ence wus variously staled in several olher counts, which il would be unnecessary to detail. The read- ing of the indictment having finished,— The President proceeded 10 examine the defendant Q. Have you evej said you would stand or fall by the Bill, meaning thereby ( he Russell Purge? A. That I said I would stand or fall by Ihe Bill it would he in vain for me to deny; lull I never did ap- ply lo it the name uf the Russell Purge. Q. llow often did you say so ? A. I cannot tell. Q. Did 3011 not say sn half a dozen times? A. I believe I might. Q. Now, my lord, upon your ontli, 1 mean your honour, did you not say so a dozen, limes ? A. ( Hesitating.) I believe I did. Q Aye, to he sure ynu did, twenty times. Now did you not say so in public, in private, us well verbally us in writing ? A. Yes. Q. That is answered like a man nf honour; nnd now i ask you, ihe Bill having been thrown out, have y. ni resigned as ynu pledged yourself von would ? A. I huve not, nor do 1 intend to do sons long ns 1 can contrive lo keep in ofiice. ( A greut sensation iu ihe court.) Q. Then, my lord, you admit ynu have broken your word ; that solemnly- pledged word which yon should have held sacred, mid which you should have sacri- ficed your life and property to maintain. A I have made no such admission. I never snid 1 would resign immediately upon the failure of the Bill ; besides, I am now constructing a new Bill, intended to he just ns good as that which has beeu lost, mid which I confidently expect will- succeed. Q. When yuu so pledged yourself to the senate and the people, ' to your friends and your opponents, iu public and iu private, did you menu that your words should convey tbe idea you now assign 10 ihein, aud that I hey should be understood by ihe people in thai sense ?

A. ( Assuming 1111 erect attitude.) The order to which 1 belong I mil determined to support. President.— Come, my lord. no vapouring or 111 How given that the yeomanry of England are sound at the core, aud lhat they desire 110 great change in the institutions of the state— least of all such a change, or rather subversion, as was threatened in the late Reform Bill— will teach tbe legislature and tbe ministry, in a living lesson, that the people of England lire satisfied lhat tbe great outlines and principles of the constitution should remain intact aud undefiled. The victory of Dorset is already putting forth its blossoms, and we trust the fruit will be nurtured to maturity ; for it is to this tri- umph may be attributed tbe fact that a longer pro rogation of parliament is now fixed on than was at first intended, iu order that the ministry may have time to prepare a bill so modified as to meet tbe approbation of the conservative party. For the settlement uf tbe question, for the allaying of passion and excited feeling, we should hope that such a measure might be brought forward, but we confess lhat we are not very sanguine that the present ministry will ever bring forward a measure so de- void of tbe obnoxious aud unconstitutional principles, as to render it free from danger. We hope, how ever, lor the best ; feeling satisfied that it will ere long be seen that the men of Dorset have saved from violation the institutions of their country. Before we leave tbe subject, we must pay a tribute lo the loyal and patr'otic manner in which tbe yco. manry oi our county hav e acted during the election, which their exertions have carried The efforts Ihey have made to preserve inviolate tbe public peace— efforts which, under Divine Providence, proved successful lo a degree far beyond the anti- cipations of every man ;— Ihe zeal, the activity, and the energy they evinced throughout the election, and w hich, although niet by equul ieal, and activity, and energy on the part nf their Opponents, have ter- minated in the most brilliant success ;— the modera- tion tbey bave shown in Ihe enjoyment of llrcir triumph, even when four hundred of these gallant nnd honest yeomen were proudly preceding Lord Ashley and the immense accompanying assemblage from the field on which their victory was consum- mated, abstaining with tempered feelings from violence or even taunts towards the few of their opponents whom they encountered, thus forming a sccne as grateful to the mind as to the sense;— all these bear " confirmation strong us proofs of Holy Writ" thnt tbe brave aud hardy yeomen of Dorset tire calmly resolute in ( lie defence of the institutions of their country, and of those interests which, tliey nre convinced, are the strong holds of the nation's welfare. By their conduct, patient yet zealous and determined us it lias been, they have declared in the face of the world lhat there has been amongst them what is well called a " removal of delusion," and if, on a future day, tbe internal peace of England shall be assailed, she may depend upon her yeomanry for the defence and maintenance of the throne of their King, the altars of their church, and the general security of property.

[ l'ROM Tim DORSET COUNTY CHRONICLE.] It is wilh 110 ordinary feelings of pride and grati- fication that we ure now enubled lo congratulate the freeholders of Dorset, and every friend of the British. constitution throughout the whole empire, on the glorious victory which wtis consummated iu our county on Monday last;— a victory which is, we believe, unequalled in uny previous similar struggle of opinion, whether wc regard the unex- ampled zeal and ardour w ith which the contest bos been conducted, and its almost unprecedented dura, lion ; Ibe cool unbiassed expression of opinion to which it has given rise ;— the important interests which were at stake throughout Ihe conflict ;— nnd Ihe inevitable satisfactory consequences which must ensue. We regard not this victory as one which 1ms been achieved by mere physical force, as the result of a contest in which extent of territory or temporal power was at stake ; but as oue gained after a wm> of opinions— a struggle, in which the friends of social order and genuine liberty, the lovers rather of that which has been practically proved to be just, and useful, and good, than of that, tbe merits of which are, to say the least of it, theoretical aud speculative; the true supporters of all the estates of the realm, the King, the Lords, and theCommons, und nil the established noble institutions of tbe stale, both ecclesiastical nnd civil ; were pitted against Ihose who desire perpetual change and in- novation; who,. reckless and discontented, seek tbe overthrow of existing institutions, lliut they may erect 011 the site of structures which Ihe wisdom of ages bus matured and perfected, tbe modern systems of a speculative philosophy— systems which, how ever beautiful to the sight, however alluring iu ap- pearance, nre as unstable in their nuture and us devoid of sound foundation, as the house w hich Ihe foolish man built upon the sand. And when we ^. id that this tremendous struggle lias terminated in the triY'UBh of those principles which, w e believe, ure indi « peiis.. b'v requisite for the peace, the hap- piness, and the welfare of ' lie people of England ; when we find, by the termination t> f this struggle that tbe desolating doctrines of revolution and democracy which have been so profusely dissemi- nated on the continent have yet failed lo contaminate tbe brave and. honest children of England, and lo devastate their hearts by Ihe subversion of that strict integrity which wc know tliey possessed; when we find that such has been tbe result of the Struggle, we do think there is great cause for deep rejoicing, and congratulation, and thankfulness. Tho triumph which tbe friends of Ibe constitution und of England's peace have gained in ibe fields of our county, has not been obtained by the exercise of any undue influence, by physical force, by mob intimidation, by riot, tumuli, or violence; but by the honest and independent freeholders of the county coming forward with a calm, deliberate, aud dis. passionute expression of opinion; thus setting at rest the varied contradictory assertions which have been made both within and without the walls of parliament, relative to Ibe rc- action having taken place in the kingdom; doubt is now merged in cer- tainly, for the past contest lias given facts in sup- port of the affirmative assertion, which bear it fur beyond Ihe power of contradictory assertion. The important interests involved iu this contest, no less than the existence of the constitution of England as it has stood for nges, with the agricul- tural portion of the community— the main source from whence the opulence and the vigour of the empire flow— the interest wilb which all others, either mercantile or manufacturing, arc so intimately connected, that the prosperity of the one becomes identified with that of Ihe other ;— these interests are only equalled in magnitude by the gratifying results which must ensue; for the proof which is Tbe session of parliament which has just ter- minated w ill be regarded by posterity as one of the most important epochs in tbe history of this . coun- try. At a moment when revolutionary madness was raging in many of tbe states of Europ. e, and, by a natural and never- failing sympathy, exciting to a pitch of corresponding frezy tbe more ardent and restless spirits among the population of Great Britain, the ministers of the King thought they had discovered the suitable period when, as prudent statesmen, they might best appeal to the people upon the question of parliamentary reform, might cast into the arena of popular disputation whatever was supposed to be defective or anomalous in the institutions of our country, might supply a new stimulus to democratic ambition, and offer ibe prize of absolute political power us the reward of demo- cratic turbulence. The appeal to the ualioti which was thus made by the ministers of the crown pro- duced precisely such a House of Commons as might bave been and ( by Ihe appellants at least) was expected from it— a House of Commons consisting for Ihe greater part of the delegates of a thought- less and ignorant rabble, who, rendered giddy by the delusive promise of supreme power, and furious by means of wilful and unprincipled exaggerations of those imperfections which must always be found in every human institution, threw aside during fhe period of the general election all the restraints of order and of law, spumed the salutary iuflueuce of rank, station, intelligence, or wealth, and refused fo acknowledge the possible existence of public virtue iu public men, unless in proportion lo the vehemence with which they proclaimed themselves upon the hustings the enemies of every established institution in tbe state. In strch a House of Commons an administration which flattered liie people with the prospect of greut constitutional change, iu order to withdraw their attention from its own repeated practical blunders, and Us own manifest incompetency to execute the actfml and daily business of govern- ment— of a constitutional change commensurate with Ihe blunders and the incompetency it was meant lo conceal— found of course a large majority of confederates, bound like itself lo Ihe cause of revolution, bound bv pledges which the people iu Ihe moment of Intoxication hud extorted from them to join iu the ministerial Conspiracy against the interests of the people. The Reform Bill, which engrossed Ihe time of parliament and the attention of the country during Ihe whole of Ihe late session, has been already abundantly discussed. We shall uow only charac- terise it as a measure ill every respect worthy of the combination of causes which gave it birth. Ils authors tacitly confess that it could have conferred no- practical ami substantial benefit upon the nation, since, with a legislature perfectly disposed to ac- quiesce in any proposal having practical and Sub- stantial advantages in view, fhey contented them- selves w ith fighting for a theoretical reform, while its opponents, comprehending from the first by far fhe largest part of the educated, intelligent, and re- flecting classcs of society, and including now, thanks to the efforts of the vigorous minority in the House of Commons, end the proud majority of the Iloti3e of Lords, by far the largest part of the whole numerical population, conscientiously believe it to huve been a scheme pregnant with ruin to the country, the certain precursor of destruction to llie throne, to the church, to the aristocracy, to the property of the country; and thence of necessity fatal to ull public order, all regulated industry, all social happiness and security. The firmness, virtue, and patriotism of the here- ditary branch of the legislature have rcscued Ihe country from the irretrievable calamity by which it was threatened. The House of Peers has acquired a new claim to the everlasting respect and gratitude of the British people, and lias presented to the world at large a splendid and enduring example of the unspeakable advantage which a nation derives from a legislature, one branch of which is by the nature of its constitution superior to tlie influence of transient and accidental excitement. The peer- age of England was threatened with the effects of popular indignation if it presumed to reject tbe insane, ruinous, revolutionary bill. It nobly dis- dained the threat. It courageously performed its duty; and it lias preserved its honour, its dignity, and its station, not untouched, bnt elevated and im- proved. The peerage is the object of respect and gratitude at thin moment even to those who, a month ago, clamoured most loudly for the revolutionary bill ; and that' pernicious compound of sordid self- interest, low cunning, and desperate treason, is universally regarded with the feelings of loathing and of scorn which it was so well fitted to inspire. The Reform Bill, which was intended from the be- ginning only as a screen to ministers, and a pretence for a general election, in circumstances favourable to their friends and dependents, having heen disposed of by a majority of tbe House of Lords, so large as to leave not the least donbt in any man's mind that the ultimate fale of the measure entered into the original calculations of its authors— that web of artifice and intrigue being now completely woven, the riddle of a revolutionary ministry being satisfactorily solved— it remains for us only to see what practical advantages the country has derived from any other legislative attempt of its liberal administration, who, through the means of that bill, enjoyed throughout the session a degree of parliamentary power wholly without pre- cedent. And here we lament to find little better, or rather something worse, than a total blank. Reform, retrenchment, non- interference in the in- ternal affairs of other nations, were tbe three great pledges upon which the present ministers entered into office. With respect to reform tbey bave defrauded Ibc nation, by proposing a scheme which they must have known from the first they could nol carry, and accordingly there is no reform; but there is what the ministers like much better, a great additional number of their own personal and party adherents in the House of Commons. As to retrenchment, nothing of the kind has been attempted, or spoken of, or thought of. And the principle of non- interference has been beautifully illustrated by restraining Holland from repelling the injustice of Belgium— by sending a king to the latter country to swear that he would never recede from a ccrtain national boundary, and then immediately giving extensive territory within that boundary to the rival state— by endeavouring, in every under- hand way tbat ingenuity could devise, lo produce a revolution in Portugal, and to dethrone the reigning Sovereign of lhat country. The ordinary business of legislation has during tbe last session been wholly in the hands of ministers. To oppose any of their measures was certainly to incur gross misrepresentation, and great popular odium. Such was their infallibility as legislators, that to offer opposition to any proposal of theirs was or could be nothing but an unjust and insidious attempt to get rid of Ibe great question of reform by a side wind. And with this extraordinary power what have they done ? They have reduced the duty upon the claret and champagne of the affluent and luxurious, and in- creased llie duty upon the humble port of the middle classes of society ; while, by the very same measure, they have the further merit of violating the spirit of an ancient treaty, of gratifying the revolutionary government of France, and of improving tbe chances of a revolution in Portugal. In addition to this legislative exploit, ministers, during the past session, have passed through parlia- ment a bill for altering the Game Law, aud another for the creation of a new judicature in bankruptcy. Of the former of Ihese we can only say, that in the opinion of men who have devoted a great part of their lives to fhe consideration of the subject, and who, as magistrates and as sportsmen, have an inti- mate knowledge of the subject in all its details, it is calculated to aggravate many and to mitigate none of the evils of the existing system. With respect to the new Bankruptcy Judicature, it is an emanation of the ingenious and fertile brain of the Lord C hancellor. Its effects can only be judged after a tolerably extended experience. All that is at present Certain is, that tbe measure has excited the active hostility of persons whom the Lord Chancellor himself would, upon any other legal reform, have pronounced to be tbe least liable to error of all earthly judges; that in a department of judicial business, in which the quantity of business to be done fluctuates from time to time in a degree altogether peculiar to itself, it substitutes for a tribunal which contracts and expands, to suit the emergency of the moment, another tribunal which neither expands nor contracts, but remains inflexibly and for ever the same; and that if gives to the Lord Chancellor the immediate disposal of as much patronage as be could in the ordinary course of human affairs have expected to enjoy for tbe next ten years, and is to be attended moreover by a large increase to the retiring pension of lliat distinguished member of his Majesty's govern- ment. We, however, give no opinion of the measure. That the public arc to pay for it pretty handsomely is now quite certain. Let it therefore by all means have a fair trial, and, as fo the addition to Lord Brougham's retiring pension, that is a thing which, were it ten times as much as is intended, we feel quite confident the nation will never be so unreasonable as to begrudge.

If is remarkable that two of the morning papers ( Ihe Times and the Morning Chronicle) which are understood to be most directly under tbe control of Government have come forth simultaneously with a direct proposition for the organization of armed political associations. These associations are recom- mended to liaVe the double duty of watching over tire Reform Bill and the mobs; they are to en- courage the one, and to repress the other; they are to be " drilled occasionally, and taught the use of fhe firelock ;" they are to watch Over " the circumstances of all descriptions which may directly or indirectly operate upon the success of the Reform question," and at the same time they arc « to resort to arms, in case of attacks by tumultuous mobs 011 persons, habitations, or goods." Tbe natural inference from a proposal so strange arid startling appearing at once in tbe two Ministerial morning papers, would be that it came from Govern- ment; but we can hardly believe that the Govern- ment, unless hoodwinked and led by some daring individual who aimed at sole authority, would origin- ate such a proposal al such a time, it is not credible that any body of men to whom the serious task of upholding the executive government of the nation is confided, could, with tlieir eyes open, in a time of peace within and without the kingdom, and when a great question is to be deliberated upon, requiring the Calmest and coolest consideration, advise the country lo be agitated by armed associations !• Can it be supposed tbat Englishmen who loVe their Constitu- tion w- ill allow the opposite jKirty lo compel an alter- ation of it by force of amis, and will not resort fo similar means in its defence ? The arming of bands of slaves to the Reform Bill wonld be tbe signal for civil war. Bnt the tiling is impossible : the good sense of Englishmen will reject a proposition so dangerous, and under present circumstances so ridiculous, and we trust the bare suggestion will go far towards Opening the eyes of the public lo the desperate con- dition of the faction which ventttfes upon the recom mendation of such means for the accomplishment of ils views. We are glad lo be able to quote from a morning paper ( which, while it advocates the Reform Bill, does not substitute violence for common sense, like some of its contemporaries) some remarks upon the mined association project, which we should hope would meet the approbation of nil respectable re- formers. The Morning Herald of Thursday says— '' As for the idea of embodying a National Guard, that is a proposition which, under all the circumstances, we can scarcely believe lo be seriously proposed. The Reformers have much to contend against, aud the violence of some of their ow n friends are not amongst the least of their difficulties, ' fhe foimution of n Nutional Guard would have ihe appearance of over- awing by arms that portion of the legislature who are known to be adverse lo the bill. But does the occasion cull for this ? and ore there not many honest Reformers who would shrink from such nu expedient ? Firmness and moderation will surely tin more than threats to advance a cause which professes to be founded, and which is founded, in justice and reason." The notion that in a country like this— a country of popular institutions, in which the utmost freedom of discussion is allowed, aud tbe calm steady tide of public opinion always in the end triumphant,— the notion that in such a country bands of armed men are a wholesome means of carrying a legislative measure, is beyond all measure absurd and even ludicrous. Do tbe partisans of drums and firelock's intend, like the Irishman in Sheridan's farce, that the people shall " argue in platoons?" Do they expect that those who. shoulder arms, and put the rabble to the rout, will presently go in, ami sit in wise deliber- ation lipon the last night's debates in Parliament, and nicely weigh the merits of schedules A and B and C: " Conservative Guards," indeed I whose business it would be to do all that in them lay to pull down the Constitution. The whole parade of Words about Unions, Associations, Conservative Guards, and Mili- tary Hierarchy,- are nothing but the flash language of traders in disaffection— of traitors, who love to set the work of revolution in motion, while they shun tlie danger of open and bold rebellion. Upon the supposition tbat these notices in the newspapers are merely tbe work of fhe Bill- monger faction, their drift is easily seen. They want lo compel an assembling of tbe Parliament earlier than Ihe Convenience of tbe Government or the public business calls for it. Nothing would be more effectual for this purpose than an attempt to organize armed associations; for if they were framed wilh sufficient cunning to evade fhe laws at present in force, Parlia- ment should assemble to make new laws for their suppression. A bold exertion of the executive, how- ever, would put a slop to this political stratagem in Ibc outset: not, indeed, that lliere is any reason to anticipate any call for such interference ^ for John Bull, with ail his vagaries, has too much sense to be caught iu this Radical Pitfall. WREXHAM GOLD Cur— The Stewards of the Jockey Club bave decided tbat Penrhos ought not to have cariied 51b. extra, and consequently that Mr. Nunney was entitled to the Gold Cup. THE FUCIA Tl^ EF.' Mr. Shepherd, the respectable and well- informed conservator of the Botanical Gardens at Liver- pool, gave the following curious account of tbe in- troduction of that elegant little flowering shrub, the Fucia, into our English greenhouses and parlour windows:— Old Mr. Lee, a nurseryman and gar. dener near London, well known fifty or sixty years ago, wus one day showing his variegated treasures to a friend, who suddenly turned to him and declared, " Well you huve not in your collection a prettier flower than I saw this morning at Wap- ping." " No ! and pray what wns this phesnix like ?" " Why, the plant was elegant, and the flowers hung in rows like tassels from the pendent branches ; their colour, the richest crimson, in the centre a fold of deep purple/' and so forth. Par- ticular directions being demanded and given, Mr. Lee posted off to the place, where he Saw, aud at once perceived that the plant wns new in this part of the world. He saw and admired. Entering the house, " My good woman, this is a nice plant, 1 should like to buy it." « All, Sir, 1 could not sell it for no money, for it was brought to me from the West Indies by my husband, who has now left again, and I must keep it for his sake." " But must have it." " No, Sir." " litre," ( emptying bis pockets)—" Here is gold, silver, and copper," ( his stock was something more than eight guineas.) " Well- a- day, but this is a power of money, sure and sure!" "' lis yours and the plant is mine; and my good dame you shall have one of the first young ones 1 rear to keep for your husband's sake.' " Alack, alack!" " You shall, I say, by—," A coa< h was called, in which was safely deposited our florist, and his seeming dear purchase. His first work was to pull off, and utterly destroy every vestige of blossom, and blossom-> bud ; it Was divided into cuttings, which were forced into bark beds and hot bet's, were redivided and subdivided. Every effort was used lo multiply the plant. By the commencement of the next flowering season, Mr. Lee was tbe delighted possessor of 300 fncia plants, all giving promise of blossom. The two which opened first were removed into his show- bouse— A lady came," Why, Mr. Lee, my dear Mr. Lee, where did you get this charming flower?" " Ilem ! ' tis a new thing my lady, pretty, is it not ?" " Pretty! ' lis lovely! Its price?" " A guinea; thank your ladyship," and one of the two plants stood proudly in her ladyship's boudoir. " My dear Charlotte! where did yon get ?" & c.& c. " Oil, Tis a new thing, I saw it at old Lee's; pretty, is it not?" " Pretty! ' tis beautiful! its price?" " A guinea, there was another left." The visitor's horses smoked off to the suburb ; a third flowering plant stood on the spot whence the first had been taken. The second guinea was paid, and the second chosen facia adorned the drawing- room of her second ladyship. The scene was repeated as new comers saw and were attracted by the bcanty of tbe plant. New chariots flew to the gates of old Lee's nursery gronnds. Two fucias, young, grace- ful, and bursting into healthy flower, were con- stantly seen on the same spot, ia his repository. He neglected not to gladden the faithful sailor's wife by tbe promised gift, but ere the flower season closed, three hundred golden guineas clinked in his purse, the produce of the single shrub of the window in Wuppiug, the reward of the taste, decision, skill, aud perseverance of old Mr. Lee. [ From the Morning Herald ] The slate of Ireland still continues to exhibit melancholy proofs of the neglect or incapacity of English statesmanship. The session of parliament has terminated without anything being done to im- prove the condition of that country, or afford any solid hopes of future improvement. In the rage and fury of the two extreme parties by whom Ireland is torn and distracted the voice of soberness and reason is scarcely ever heard. Every public measure seems to be taken up or opposed on motives either of sordid iuterest, personal ambition, religious intolerance, or vindictive passion. In Ihe mean time the peasantry in the sooth of Ireland— abandoned by their landlords, and deliver- ed up to tbe apostles of mischief, who incessantly stimulate them to the most ferocious assertion of real or supposed rights— proceed in their work of nocturnal outrage, terror, and assassination. Nor bave Ihey been encouraged to proceed to Ihose ex- tremities by the mildness of the laws or the lenity of their administration. On the contrary, they have, for centuries, been accustomed to experience the periodical visitations of a passionate and destroying injustice, which exactsand receives copious libations of blood upon its sanguinary altars, and makes life cheap iu the eyes of the violent aud vindictive by exterminating examples. The organized system of resistance to the pay- ment of tithe in the south of Ireland has placed tha clergymen of the Established Church in tbe most difficult and painful situation. When we are in- formed that no tithe can be collected but by the aid of a military force, we dread the ultimate eon- sequences. The government is bound to protect the clergy in their property ; and yet it is lament- able to find that can hardly be done, under the present state of things, without leading to the destruction of human life. I11 the last session ot parliament some Irish members, catering for a low and vicious popularity, made a point upon all occa- sions, to run down the clergy of the Irish Church, and, in fact, treated their complaints of not being able lo collect any tithe as unworthy of the alteutiou of parliament. But the clergy are entitled to tha provision which Ihe law has settled on them, as much as the landlords are to their rents. If the law be bad, let it be altered ; but, in the meantime, not to protect tbe clergy in their lawful demands would be to encourage the most lawless system of popular terror, and to make tbe clergy the victims of a legislative system which they neither created nor bave it in their power to alter. The only legislative measure which the present ministry have adopted, with a view to the improve- ment of the condition of Ireland, is the appointment of Lords Lieutenant of conniies— a measure which undoubtedly increases the patronage of the Crown, but is, ill reference to the great question of national improvement, exceedingly equivocal. They have, besides, set a bad example for future administrations to follow, by appointing Lord Duncannon and soma other non- resident Irish noblemen, to an office which, if good for anything, ought never to bo conferred 011 an Irish absentee. In opposing Mr. Sadler's proposition for a sta- tutory relief to the Irish poor, and in not introducing auy measure of their own to that effect, the govern- ment has taken a serious responsibility on itself. Of evil legislation Ireland has had enough ; it" there be anything good intended for her she may be lost while it is postponed, fiSIscfllaneoua Sittelligcucf. The wise will at any period part with a ton of dogmas for a single grain of example.— We there- fore recommend the following facts to public consideration :— 1st.—- The deficit in the French Revenue during the first nine months of 1831 ( the year following lhat of the blessed Parisian Reform) was £ 2,030,200, as compared with the like months in the precedin year. 2d.— The industrious classcs are reduced to such penury, that Ihe French Ministry have just asked for a vote of eighteen millions of francs, or £ 720,000, towards finding bread for them. This is indepen- dent of a much larger sum already swallowed up by tbe misguided tools of Political Unions iu France; aud w hich said sum, by the way, was nothing short of thirty millions, or £ 1,200,000. FINE SPOUT— The Thrucians, according to Seleucus, bad a sort of game at their convivial meetings w hich is thus described :— A rope being suspended from a high place, a round slone was rolled immediately under it, then, according to lots, ihe fortunate man bad the privilege of mounting this stone and slipping his neck in tbe noose, when some one approached and kicked the stone from under his feet, at which moment, unless he was quick enough to cut the rope with a knife which he held in his hand, he was strangled ! A cave of great natural curiosity has been re- cently discovered near Clonaslee, in this connty It appears from tbat celebrated historian, Dr. Keating, that it was known in the second century, upwards of 1000 years ago ! The modern discovery was made a few weeks since, by a shepherd, who kept his flocks adjoining tbe demesne of Lieu- tenant General Dunne, at Brittas. There is a stair of about twenty steps descent, which leads to a spacious ha]!, and other apartments, not inferior in point of magnitude and curiosity to those of Duu- more, in the county of Kilkenny. In one of the apartments is a large stone table, on which are several statues. Ill Ihe immediate neighbourhood arc many things worthy the notice of some of ou antiquarians. A few weeks ago a Sag was dis covered by a man named Lalrr, who, from motives of curiosity, moved it, and dug six feet beneath where lie found the skeleton of a man of enormous size, perhaps ( be largest ever found in this king, doni. We ure not surprised to bear of the dis- covery of such a phenomenon, for Ihis part of Ihe country was the scene of many extraordinary engagements between the O'Mores, ancient pro- prietors of Leix, and the other petty mouarchs who swayed the sceptics of royally in this country.— Lcinstcr Express. Subjoined is a copy of the letter from Earl Howe, read by the Hon. A. Trevor recently in the House of Commons, 011 the subject of the noble Earl's dis- missal from the office of Chamberlain to her Majesty : 44 Gopsal, Atherstone, Oct. 16. " SIR — Although I have not the honour of your acquaintance, 1 ain certain you will pardon the liberty 1 lake in making a few observations on a question which the papers of yesterday mentioned to have been put by you in the House of Column:;, respecting my dismissal from the Queen's Household. If the answer Lord John Russell is reported to have given iu the Times is the one he really made, I must say his Lord- sUip mnde a statement at direct variance with the real fuels of the ease, w hich are Ihese : — 44 In Ihe month uf May last, and fur the second time, I submitted to his Majesty my intention of opposing ihe Reform Bill, nnd my perfect readiness to resign nty situation us Chamberlain lo the Queen, at any moment that lie might be pleased lo fix on. 1 received iu reply a mosl gracious command 10 retain my office, und a distinct recognition of iny privilege of being peifectly independent of any government, from the circumstance of my being in her Majesty's household. My having offered lo resign again wns out of llie question, us 1 was allowed, by llie King's own com muuication, 10 act and vote exactly ns I pleased. Nothing, therefore, but the positive request of Lord Giey and his colleagues to the King for my removal, in consequence of my vote the oilier night, has been the cause of my being no longer in her Majesty's household. I feel thai il is bin couimen justice to my own character lo miike this statement, and lo gi » e you full authority to make whatever use of it you like, except tbe insertion of it in the public papers. " 1 have the honour In lie, & c. " HOWE " The II011. A. Trevor," At a Surrey Reform Meeting held at Epsom on Thursday, Mr. DENISON observed that he ap- proved entiicly of the whole Bill, except that part of it which affected Guildford. This is genuine liberalism. " Commit what injustice yon please, mutilate and plunder as yon will; we approve of what you are doing and cheer you on in the work, — but don't lay hands upon tu, nor subject us to such treatment, or wc are 110 longer your friends.** On Ibis point our Contemporary tbe Standard remarks as follows:—" At tl| e Surrey Meeting on Thursday, which was attended by all the Liberals of the county, Mr. DENISON confirmed our views of the motives of the Reformers. 441 am," said that Gentleman," in favour of the Bill; but let me except Guildford from its provisions." The Surrey men loudly cheered the qualification of their worthy Member. Tbey feel the hardship and ths absurdity perpetrated under their own eyes, aud on that point oppose the Ministers. In other words, they oppose them in matters 011 which they are quulified to judge, and agree with them only on points respecting which their knowledge must bo vague aud inferential." A Metropolitan Union is abont lo be formed, and lhat very consistent and upright politician, Sir Francis Burdett, is to be its appropriate head. Some propose that its first operation should be to form a National Guard, for Hie purpose, it is alleged, of preserviug the peace in the City— in reality with the intention, hardly concealed, of intimidating the House of Lords. This is another close analogy to what occurred in Ihe days of Charles, when the City militia, and traiubauds, were marched by Skippon, appointed by the au- thority of the House of Commons, Major General of these Forces, to Westminster, shouting defiance to the aristocracy, as they passed Whitehall.— Wc do not anticipate, however, that this recommendation " be agreed to. Agitation is a very fine thing w » doubt, but there must be a greater excitement thau is felt at preseut, before the citizens of London are stirred to adopt any thing so alien to tlieir habits, as gasconading it in the manner of the Parisians, arms in baud. That it would not be difficult to rouse the rabble, we admit; and wc well kuow that distinct proposals have been made to supply them with arms. Bnt to this we think no city, except it were inhabited by a population of Bed- lamites, would consent. The views of such allies of reform would soon be found far mors liberal thau those of tbe persons who evoked them. It would soon be discovered that the possessor of property was a greater public euemy than the borough, mongers, uud no great length of time would be sulFered to elapse before tbat discovery was acted upon in practice.— Some approach to this stage of liberalism lias been already made. On Monday week a meeting of tbe working classes is to b « assembled at the White Conduit House— the pub- lished declaration of w hich proscribes all hereditary distinctions whatever, and all pecuniary qualifica- tions for members of the legislature. The minis- terial newspapers think this is going too far, aud supplicate their operative friends not to proposo such measures for a white. A time may come, when the nation being previously duly prepared by the carrying of Lord John Russell's bill, tliess things may be properly attempted. It is, as tha French Minister says of a different matter, a mis take of dates to propose them notv. Many things, it is admitted, are objectionable in the bill, but it is as good us can be borne at jiresent. We must give milk to babes. Meat for strong men will follow iu due course. There is n story going the round of the news- papers said to be copied from the Charlensburg ( Pa) Republican, stating that Captain Henry Gam- bles, of Ibc British ship Lady Slierbrooke, ship- wrecked near Cape Roy, by which 2!) 3 lives were lost, bad been tried at Halifax for intentionally casting awuy bis vessel. The whole is evidently a contemptible fabrication, for which the author deserves to be pilloried.— New York Gazelle, September 21.— We are informed Captain Gambles left Halifax on the 21st of August lo late the command of a new ship at Pictou bound lo Lug. land.
