The most complete edition extant; it contains translations as well as the originaL of theLatin Works, and is illustrated by Portraits, Views, and Facsimiles, with, a New Life of Lord Bacon by the Editor. A few copies on Large Paper, imperial 8vo. 11. lis. 6d. each vol. " A learned and valuable work upon the Life of Lord Bacon is prepared for pub- lication by Mr. B. Montagu, and will soon be before the world. * Some very im- portant facts are proved satisfactorily by the ingenious author, and show how much the criminality of this great man is exaggerated in the common accounts of his fall. But it is clearly shown, that he was prevailed upon by the intrigues of James I. and his profligate minister to abandon his own defence, and sacrifice* himself to their base and crooked policy— a defence which disgraces them more than vindicates him. One thing, however, is undeniable, that they who so loudly blame Bacon, overlook the meanness of almost all the great statesmen of those courtly times."— Lord Brougham's Discourse on Natural Theology. * It was published December, 1834.

NORTON'S LAST WORK.— The popularity of The JVife, and JVoman\ s Reward, ( the new Tales by the Hon. Mrs. NORTON) is on the increase. In The fVife there is great originality and a profound insight into the dark springs of human motives. The character of the ill featured, but tender and ambitious Catherine is a chef d'ceuvre, and its development should be deeply studied. Ex- quisite as are the graces of Mrs. Norton's style, the philosophy under and adorned by it, is certainly the most valuable characteristic of her works. THE LOVE OF FLOWERS.— The appearance of a new edition of that elegant little work, The Language of Flowers, will be welcome to all those who feel an interest in the pursuits of the garden. This improved edition will be revised by the Editor of the Forget- me- Not, and among other new features will contain a Floral Calendar and a Dial of Flowers. The little volume is dedicated by gracious permission to the Duchess of Kent. The public willrbe gratified to hear that Mrs. Trollope, the highly popular authoress of The Domestic Manners of the Americans, is about to publish a novel, of which the scene is laid in modern life, at home, to be called Tremordyn Cliff. In this work, Mrs. Trollope, it is understood, has exercised the same caustic treatment as regards the peculiarities of society in England, as well in the upper circles as in the middle ranks, as was observed in her inimitable Trans- atlantic Sketches. Having laughed to our heart's content at brother Jonathan, we must novv make up our minds, with good grace, to laugh at ourselves. CAREER OF DON CARLOS.— The narrative connected with this Prince, and with the civil war in Spain, is written by the Baron de los Valles, the friend and confidant of Don Carlos. In this work the events which immediately preceded the death of King Ferdinand are minutely developed, and the germ of the present revolution traced. All which has occurred subsequently to this, such as the personal adventures of the Prince to the present time, together- with an account of the life and actions of Zumalacarreguv, is narrated with full detail. The circumstances unfolded possess much of romantic interest, and the volume altogether forms an important chapter in contemporary history. A SUMSIER RAMBLE IN SYRIA. BY THE REV. VERE MONRO.— " To the list of travels from the pens of intelligent Churchmen," says the Literary Gazette, " we have now to add Mr. Monro's Summer Ramble through countries which hold out peculiar attractions to teachers of the Christian faith, as well as to the Christian world in general. Not that we mean to state that our author has written en parson; on the contrary, though his reflections are often in perfect unison with his cloth, and he strenuously contends for the literal ac ceptation of the Scriptures, as verified by still remaining antiquities, customs, and appearances, the general style of his narrative is lively, and were it not for the ' Reverend' prefixed to his name, we could readily fancy that Captain or Colonel would be quite as suitable a title." Benlah Spa appears to be fast rising in the estimation of the nobi- lity. During the week this beautiful place has been honoured by the Presence of— Mrs. Fitzherbert, Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord and , ady Eliot, Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Chelsea, Air. F. W. Mullins, M. P., Lord Boscawen, Mr. G. Somerset, Countess of Essex, Viscountess D'Auchauld, Lord Rokeby, Mr. Ponsonbv, Colonel and Mrs. Ellison, Lord and Lady de Roos, Marquess of Douro, Sir A.

A good deal of excitement has been produced in the minds of the inhabitants of Wanstead, Essex, the Forest- gate, and the surrounding neighbourhood, in consequence of an immense extent of that part of the common close to the forest and adjoining the Wanstead property being on fire. Nearly three weeks ago the fire originated, and the soil or loam being of a peaty substance, and so dry from the effects of the heat, the fire at length spread over a surface of upwards of 20 acres. Every other effort to stop the fire having been unavailing, some Sappers and Miners were procured from Woolwich, who are digging a deep trench - round the burning part, so as to prevent it spreading further. It is suspected that the fire was purposely occasioned. Mr. Hinxman's beautiful seat, Wood Hall, or Mount Hall at Little Sampford, between Dunmow and Saffron Walden, in Essex, has been completely destroyed by an accidental fire. The servant having occasion to re- fasten the rope of the house- bell, incautiously took a lighted candle into the false roof; the reed thatch instantly caught fire, and in two hours the whole building was consumed. ' Most of the furniture was saved, and the house was insured for 3,0001., a sum so much below its value that Mr. Hinxman's loss is estimated at about 10,0001. The house was built only a few years ago, though upon a much smaller scale, after the model of the favourite cottage of his late Majesty George IV., in Windsor Great Park. On Monday last a horse belonging to Mr. Jeffery, of Great Barford, Beds, was, observed by some men to be in the riverOuse. but not in any appareu- t danger. A young man named Barker, about twenty years of age, volunteered to strip and lead the animal to where the bank was less steep ; in doing this he suddenly stepped into a deep place. There were eight or ten men standing by at the time, among whom was the young man's father, but unfortunately none of them were able to swim. ' They procured some halters Irorii horses stand- in? by, but were unable to reach the young man, upon which the father plungedinto the water, when theson immediately grasped bim round the body and both sunk to the bottom, and neither rose again to the surface. More than two hours elapsed before either of the bodies was recovered. It is melancholy to reflect that the wife and mother of the unfortunate deceased had died with typhus fever on the preceding Friday, and another of the children is lying ill without hope of recovery. A fire' broke out on Monday afternoon at a cottage at Triplow, Cambridgeshire, which with another attached, three acres of wheat, brought from the field on the Saturday previous, a cow, horse, and figs, belonging to a poor man, were all consumed in half an hour. t was with great difficulty that two children and an elderly woman who had been bed- ridden for some years could be got out of one of • he cottages before the roof fell in: indeed the woman was so much burnt and bruised in getting out that she is since dead. The fire was purely accidental. The anniversary dinner of the Sun Inn Benefit Society was held a lew days ago at Ludlow, when the venerable father of it, Thomas Tonge ( now 100 years of age), attended, and after dinner amused his brethren by singing three songs! HOPS.— Worcester, Aug. 12.— We have to report a progressive im- provement in those plantations which were going on well last week, and that those which were then bad are now worse. Our duty on Saturday was named as high as 14,0001. London letters received this morning give the duty of the kingdom as highas 235,0001., though many think it too high. PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY. A considerable number of petitions— for which, it appears, the agents of the Administration have been carrying on a very active canvass— were presentedin favour of tin1 Municipal Corporations Bill. Lord MELBOURNE presented one from Manchester, signed by 22,000 persons.— The Duke of Nrtt't ARTLB said he had received aletterfrom Manchester that morning stating that boys its they came out from the schools and factories, and persons who kept cow- liouses and donkey- stables were made to sign the petition ; and in reference to one presented from Coventry, Lord STRANOFORD had received infor- mation that a hand- bill had been circulated through the town, naming all the low public houses at which the petition would lie for signature, and there blank sheets had been presented to the people, and those who signed it did not know what they were signing. People who had asked to see the petition itself, received a refusal. On presenting a petition from Paisley in favour of the Church of Scotland, the Earl of ABERDEEN expressed the just indignation felt by all the friends of that Church on the selection of the Commissioners of Inquiry, to whom the duty is confided of inquiring into its present condition.— The Noble Premier thought that the just principle was that which had_ been adopted, of appointing some persons of every sort; but he did not, as might- have been expected, follow up this declaration by^ boasting that, in consistency with his own principle, there was a fair proportion of Roman Catholics, or Jews, or Deists inserted in the Commission. TUESDAY. On the motion of the Earl of RADNOR the Limitation of Polls Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Marquess of CLANRICARDE moved the second reading of the Roman Catholic ( Ireland) Marriages Bill, on which, after some debate, the House divided. For the motion, 16; against it, 42. The Bill therefore is lost. WEDNESDAY. Several petitions were presented on the subject of the Corporations Reform Bill. The Earl of WICKLOW called the attention of their Lordships to the interference of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with the sentence of a Learned Judge in a trial arising out of religious differences, in which the Jury returned a verdict against the Catholic party of aggravated assault, but against the Protestaut of only a simple assault; and, in accordance with which verdict, the Judge assigned different degrees of punishment. Those degrees were subsequently altered by the Lord Lieutenant, and it was that alteration which the Noble Lord deprecated as fixing astigma upon the sentence of the Learned Judge. Viscount DUNCANXON defended the conduct of the Lord Lieutenant. Some discussion ensued, in which Lord LYNDHURST, Lord FARNHAM, and Lords PLUNKET, FITZGERALD, HATHERTON, and BROUGHAM took part- Lord MELBOURNE then moved that the House should go into Com- mittee upon the Corporations ReformBill.— The Duke of NEWCASTLE proposed, as an amendment, " That the Bill be committed that day six months."— The Earl of MANSFIELD was willing to enter into Com- mittee on the Bill, but only with the fullest understanding that he protested against very many of its provisions, which he should most strenuously oppose in Committee.— After a discussion of consider- able length, tqe Duke of NEWCASTLE withdrew his motion, and the Bill was committed pro forma. The House having resumed, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, their Lordships adjourned. THURSDAY. Lord MORPETH presented the Irish Church Bill from theCommons. It was afterwards read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next. The Militia Staff Reduction Bill, also pre- sented from the Commons, was read a first time. Their Lordships then resolved into Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill. Lord LTNDHURST moved as an amendment the preservation of the inchoate rights of freemen _; and in the course of the convincing and powerful address with which lie introduced his motion the Noble and Learned Lord took occasion to inform the House " that it was not his intention, nor, he believed, the intention of any Noble Lord on that side of the House, to offer any opposition to that clause of the Bill which settles the qualification for the bur- gesses of the new Corporations. Tie motion led to considerable discussion, Lord MELBOURNE declarjA that he could not sanction it. Their Lordships eventually divided nRt. The numbers were— for the original clause, 37 ; for the amendment, 130— majority against Ministers, 93. Lord LYNDHURST tlienmoved a new clause, to secure to freemen the right of voting, as wolrsecured to them in the Reform Act, in respect of Members of Parliament. After a short discussion, the gallery was about to be cleared for a division; but Lord MEL- BOURNE, who had opposed the amendment, said, as the numbers had so preponderated against him on the former division, he would not trouble their Lordships to divide. The amendment was agreed to. Upon clause 4, the Duke of WELLINGTON moved that the boundaries of boroughs should remain unaltered, which, with the subsequent addition " until Parliament shall further determine," was acceded to. Clause 5 was postponed; clauses 6, J, and 8 were agreed to. The House then resumed, and their Lordships adjourned. FRIDAY. The Militia Staff Reduction BilJ was read a second time pro forma and ordered to be committed on Monday, when the debate will be taken. The House was occupied for some time in receiving petitions on the subject of the Corporations Reform Bill. Their Lordships then went into Committee upon the Bill. On the clause relating to the common council, Lord LYNDHURST moved as an amendment that the persons eligible as members of the common council should consist of one- sixth of the whole number of ratepayers in every borough, being those who paid the highest rates. Upon a division the motion was carried by a majority of 120 to 39. Clauses 17 to 23, inclusive, were agreed to with some verbal amendments. The 24th being likely to excite discussion, the House resumed, and the Committee obtained leave to sit again on Monday. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY On the presentation of a petition by Mr. ROEBUCK from someillicit manufacturers of newspapers, whose printing materials had been Seized under a judgment and execution legally obtained against them by the Stamp Office, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into an elaborate defence of the conduct of the Government. The House of Commons did not entirely sympathise with Mr. ROEBUCK'S notion, that it is the duty of Government to permit the law to be violated, the revenue defrauded, and the property of fair traders destroyed, for sake of such knowledge as Mr. ROEBUCK and his con- federates can impart. A conversation took place between Mr. GOULBURN, Lord PALMER- STON, and Lord HOWICK, from which it appears that the recruiting Officers of the Queen Regent of Spain have adopted the system of inveigling the troops of his Majesty the King of England in order to complete their intended levy, arid that the faithful Ministers of his Majesty have quite made up their minds to wink at the practice. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, when the Miscellaneous Estimates were proceeded with, and several { rants were voted. After some angry personal altercation, in which Mr. RUTHVEN was compelled to submit to the correction of the Chair, the discussion of the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was postponed to Wednesday. Mr. HUME moved the re- appointment of the Select Committee to inquire into Orange Lodges in the British army. This motion was resisted by Mr. NICHOL and other Members, on account of the late- ness of the hour. Mr. NICHOL moved that the House do adjourn, which, on a division, was negatived. Several other divisions fol- lowed on the question of adjournment, until at length Mr. HUME consented to postpone his motion for the re- appointment of the Com- mittee until Tuesday, with the understanding that no obstruction should then be offered to its introduction. TUESDAY. During the early sitting of the House of Commons several private Bills were forwarded in their respective stages, and the Public Car- riages Bill passed through a Committee. At the evening sitting, on the motion of Lord F. EGERTON, W. Prentice was discharged out of custody, having answered the ques- tions put to him by the Yarmouth Committee. Lord PALMERSTON, in replyto questions from Mr. ROBINSON, stated that the notice from the Portuguese Government announcing its intention to suspend the treaty of 1810 had been accompanied by an intimation that it was desirous to enter into a new treaty upon prin- ciples of reciprocal advantage. He had no objection to lay upon the table so much of the despatch as was necessary. The reduction of the Militia Staff Bill passed through aCommittee. — On the motion of Mr. H IJUE, a Committee - was appointed to inquire into the institution and extent of Orange lodges in Great Britain and the colonies.— The Order of the Day for resuming tile adjourned debate on Orange lodges in Ireland was then read. Upon this a debate ensued, the result of which vvas the adoption of Mr. HUME'S motion, with some alterations, suggested by Lord J. RUSSELL, for an address to his Majesty, praying him to institute an inquiry into the existence and extent of Orange lodges in the army. WEDNESDAY. Petitions were presented on various subjects ; one from Kingston- upon- Hull complaining of bribery and intimidation at the hist elec- tion; and a vast number from various places against the Irish Church Bill. The Municipal Corporations ( Ireland) Bill was read a second time, after a brief discussion, or rather protests against proceeding with it at so advanced a period of the Session. The Prisons' Regulation Bill went through a Committee, after an ineffectual effort to get Bridewell exempted from its operation. Lord MORPETH moved the third reading of the Irish Church Bill. Mr. J. YOUNG opposed it, as most injurious to the Established Church of Ireland, and as calculated to give satisfaction to no party in that country.— The Bill was, after some discussion, read a third time and passed. The Slaveowners' Compensation Bill passed through Committee. — The Imprisonment for Debt Bill and the Tea Duties Bill were severally reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. — Mr. TULK moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the payment of a sum of money to Mr. BUCKINGHAM out of the funds of the East India Company. The motion was opposed by Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE. Mr. TULK consented to its adjournment until Tuesday. THURSDAY. At the early sitting several Billswere forwarded a stage. At the evening sitting the Tea Duties Bill was read a third time, and passed. On the motion that the Militia Staff Reduction Bill be read a third time, Col. SIBTHORPE condemned it as a measure of gross injustice, and moved as an amendment that it be read a third time that day six months.— Mr. G. LANGTON seconded this amendment The third reading was carried by a majority of 100; the ayes being 109, the noes 9. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, in reply to inquiry, stated that, he had commenced proceedings against persons charged with bribery at the Ipswich election. Sir G. GREY, in answer to Mr. HUME, said that he should be happy to lay on the table the despatches from New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land regarding " the female emigrants, as they would com- pletely refute all injurious reports on the subject. Resolutions were then proposed by Mr. HUME, to the effect that the resolutions of the House in 1801, with regard to the printed papers should be rescinded, and that a new scheme, on the principles recommended by the late Committee, be adopted. Considerable dis- cussion ensued, and several of the resolutions were postponed till the next session. Oil the question that thejournalsbe printed in smaller type a division took place, thereappearing for the motion 22 ; against it 40. The resolutions agreed to were ordered to be sent up to the Lords for their assent. The Slaveowners' Compensation Bill, after some discussion, was read a third time and passad.— The Irish Corporations Bill went through Committee, as did the Peace Preservation ( Ireland) Bill. FRIDAY. Petitions were presented for the repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers, and on various other subjects. Mr. WAKLEY presented one, praying for the addition of a clause to the Certiorari Bill to com- pel the Magistrates to publish the evidence in all cases in which they exercised summary jurisdiction. The petition excited some discus- sion.— Sir J. Y. BULLER brought up the report of the Committee upon the Great Yarmouth election, stating in substance that the allegations in the petition were proved.— Mr. TANCRED gave notice that on Thursday next he should move that the Attorney- General be directed to prosecute all the parties declared by the Committee to • have been implicated in the transaction ; and Dr. BOWRING that on Monday next he should move that the expenses of the petitioners be defrayed by the State.— On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL it was agreed that the House should to- morrow at 12 o'clock, to expedite the progress of Bills which it was requisite should be speedily passed. Mr. HUME moved that a message be sent to the Lords requesting the attendance of the Duke of Gordon and Lord Kenyon upon the Select Committee on Orange lodges. The Slave Owner's Compen- sation Bill was read a third time. THE BUDGET.— In Committee of Ways and Means, the CHANCEL- LOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to submit to the House his financial statement for the year ending the 5th of April, 1835, but in conse- quence of the unusual lateness of the period at which he was intro- ducing, his statement, he was enabled to include the last quarter, ending 5th July. The Hon. Gentleman announced to the House that in April last there appeared a surplus of 902,00 ) 1., and that in July there was a surplus of 1,205,0001.; these two estimates, however, did not include any provision for the payment of the interest on the West India loan. His calculations with regard to the ensuing year led him to the conclusion that the amount of revenue for that year would be 45,550,0001., the amount of expenditure 44,715,0001., thus leaving a surplus of 835,0001. As to the disposition of the surplus in their possession it was to be remembered that there must be deducted from that sum the amount of interest on the West India loan, which would probablynot exceed 6 or 700,0001., after which deduction the surplus remaining would not be sufficient to enable him to make any very great reductions in taxation. There were, however, two or three objects upon which he felt bound to mitigate the pressure of taxation. He should propose, first, with regard to spirit licenses, that parties should be at liberty to take out licenses for the sale of a quantity of spirits limited to fifty gallons, and that in such cases the duty should be reduced. He should also propose a reduction in the duty upon flint glass of 4d., viz., from 6d. to 2d., which would proba- bly, in the first instance, occasion a loss of about 60 or 70,0001., but would, he had no doubt, hereafter be the means of increasing the revenue upon that article. The third subject for reduction was the stamp duties in Ireland, as regarded awards consequentupon arbitra- tions relating to sums under a certain amount; a measure which he trusted would be very beneficial to the humbler classes in that country. A debate ensued, during which claims were put in for the relief of the agricultural interest, and for the repeal of the stamp duty on news- papers.— Mr. HUME made his annual financial speech, protesting against the opinion expressed by the CHANCELLORof the EXCHEQUER, that little more reduction in taxation could be made, and declaring that in a very few months he might, if he pleased, take off as great an amou tit of taxation as the country had been relieved from during the last fourteen years. The House then resumed. On the motion for the second reading of the Sale of Beer Bill Mr. HUME moved that it be read a second time that day six months. During the exclusion of strangers for a division it was understood that the Bill was withdrawn.— The Exchequer Courts Bill ( Ireland) passed through Committee.— Adjourned. The Tories have made great efforts in Renfrewshire at this regis- tration. We learn that the new claims will amount to at least 500, and of this number it is calculated, by competent judges, that at least 350 are in the Tory interest.— Glasgow Chronicle. Private letters from the Earl of Munster announce the pleasing intelligence of the recovery of his Lordship ana the Countess from the effects of the serious accident they met with by their voiturier through inattention driving their travelling carriage over a precipice, while on their route from Basle to Neufchatel. Their escape was a miracle. . Lord Munster is still inconvenienced by a bruised knee. He had to send seven leagues for a physician. John M'Cance, Esq., M. P. for Belfast, died at six o'clock on Tuesday evening at his lodgings in Bridge- street, Westminster. It is understood that none of his political associates have any chance of succeeding him. The Duke of Bedford has rescinded the reduction of 3001. in the gronnd- rentof Drury- lane Theatre, inconsequence of thenew share- holders declining to make a diminution of their nightly receipts. The parochial authorities, it is said, from the same reason, have declined making any allowance for the non- productiveness of the property. Mr. Bunn is likely to become the lessee for the next sea- son, but at a reduction in the large rent of 8,0001. per annum. At the Warwick Assizes, on Friday, Daniel Magrath was charged with having, on the 13th Sept. last forged an acceptance for 1001. on Col. George O'Halloran, his master. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Justice Vaughan sentenced him to one year's confinement with hard labour, and at the expiration of that term to be trans- ported for life. Sunday evening William King Esq., a gentleman of considerable property, residing in Lower Eaton- street, Pimlico, was walking with a female relative in Hyde Park, opposite to the residence of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, when he suddenly staggered forward, and feil to the ground. On being raised up he was found to be in a Stat © of stupor, and in a very short time life became extinct. August 16. JOHN b u l l ; 59 NAVAL AND MILITARY.

The Allgenietne Zeitung asserts that a plot has been en- tertained, but luckily detected, for. taking away the life of the Em- peror NICHOLAS. The instigators are understood to be French, Polish, and Piedmontese propagandists, who have been for some time endeavouring, at every risk, to lay a train for the accomplishment of their design. At Ivaliscli, it would now seem, that, notwithstanding the plausible preparations for the review, it was still doubtful whether that exhibition would take place, as vague rumours prevailed of an intention to attack the Emperor upon that occasion. These were at first treated as unsubstantial reports, but it was again said that, an insurrection had actually taken place in St. Petersburg, in which the soldiery had joined. Another report was, that the Emperor was to have been assassinated at Kalisch by gaining over the Polish troops, but these latter, as well as the Russians, have repudiated any participation in such a crime with horror. The Prussian police has . been put upon the track of these reckless assassins, who do not altogether exceed 58 persons, and there appears to be no doubt that they will soon be in the hands of justice. In the mean time it is understood that the projects of the conspirators will not at all inter- fere with the arrangements for holding the reviews at Kalisch. Several Russian regiments have arrived at that place, and on the 2nd instant., the Russian fleet with 6,033 men, the great bulk of the troops to be reviewed, was in sight of Dantzic. The Emperor's horses had • been already landed there. The sum of 110,0001. appears this year in the miscellaneous esti- • mat^ s, to defray half the expenses of prosecutions in England and Wales, at assizes and quarter sessions, and to defray the whole ex- penses of the conveyance of transports. These have been met hitherto out of the county rates. So far, therefore, the rate- payers, who are principally agriculturists, will be relieved. The Opposition Bench is now without its leading Members. Sir R. PEEL, Lord STANLEY, Sir J. GRAHAM, SirH. HARDINGE, & C., some days ago took leave of the House for the Session, and quitted town.— Sir ROBERT and Lady PEEL and family have taken up their residence in the splendid new mansion which has been just completed in Drayton Park. The demolition of the old edifice took place in the course of the present summer. On the 1st of September the Right Hon. Gentleman will commence the sporting season with partridge- shooting on his fine preserves at Drayton, where the game is most. abundant. Some idea of the exertions made in the metropolis to increase the number of voters may be formed from the fact, that in St. Pancras alone, the names of claimants exceed those of last year by 1,500. The Radicals of Marylebone have foisted no less than 42 votes on the register, unknown to the Overseers. Of course the list will be purified. A few meddling and noisy City brawlers succeeded in getting up a ; meeting on Wednesday at the Guildhall, to prepare a petition in favour of the Corporations Reform Bill, as passed by the House of Commons. The affair, however, as far as respectability went, was a - complete failure, the hall being scarcely half occupied, and that, by persons whose shirts and faces bore evidence that they had left their- workshops at a moment's notice in obedience to the call of the busy spouters. Several tables were set out in the open street to facili- tate the affixing of signatures to the petition, but the thing proceeded very slowly, much time being lost by the difficulty which many of the motley crew experienced in writing their names. GRAND MEETING OF THE MARYLEBONE RADICALS.— In conse- quence of its having been duly announced by posting bills of no ordi- nary dimensions that " a general meeting of the parishioners of Ma'rylebone would take place in the work- house- yard, on the 13th of August, at one o'clock precisely, for the purpose of adopting such measures as might be deemed necessary to secure the passing of the Corporations Reform Bill, without mutilation or injury, the doors of the above building were thrown open at the appointed time. The " company," however, was not in any hurry to arrive, and up to the hour of two there were not more than 150 persons on the ground. The grand " lions" in the oratorical display ( who came up to the platform preceded by beadles and other gentlemen high in office, each holding in his hand an enormous staff, similar to that made use of by Reeve in the character of Marmaduke Magog) were Sir S. ' Whalley and Mr. Bulwer, the two Members; Sir William de Bas, the Chairman; Mr. Redwood, a chemist in Crawford- street; Mr. Potter, Mr. Kensitt, and, though last, not least, Mr. Savage, of spouting notoriety, who dwells in Circus- street, New- road. The Chairman ( his auditors having in some measure increased) opened the business of the meeting, after which several resolutions, couched in pretty strong language, were put and carried.— Morning Post. The Manchester Courier relates the following extraordinary occur- . ence:— On Tuesday se'nnight, as an elderly and very stout lady from Manchester was passing the bonded warehouse, No. 112, Bath- street, Liverpool, she set her foot within the noose of the hoisting rope, which being suddenly set in motion, the noose took a tight grasp of her leg, and she was drawn up, head downwards, to the height of three or four stories. The vociferous calls of the spectators below at length induced the labourers at the winch to reverse their motion, and the lady was released from her very disagreeable and dangerous situation without sustaining any other injury than that arising from the stricture of the rope ana the agitation incident to so sudden and unexpected an elevation. In the garden of the Earl of MOUNTMORRIS, at Areley Hall, are now in. flower three splendid specimens of Yucca gloriosa. The number of flowers expanded and to expand, on the three plants, is three thousand six hundred; the altitude of one of the flowering stems is upwards of 10 feet above the surface.— Yucca is the name by which the plant is commonly known in the island of St. Domingo, It was first cultivated in Britain in 1596. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. FR AJFFCE.— The Paris papers to Wednesday, inclusive, are chiefly filled with remarks on the crime ofFieschi audits consequences, with addresses from every part of France felicitating the King on his truly providential escape, and with animadversions on the projected Bill against the Press. The editors of the several Parisian Journals waited on the Committee of Deputies to protest against that mea- sure. The National stronsly contends that, they ought to be preceded by a Parliamentary inquiry, in the same sense in which such inves- tigations are made in England, and that upon the reported results < f such a proceeding only could'the Ministers justify the measures, whether of a restrictive or conciliatory uature, which their duty to their country would justify their proposing. The reports of the various Committees to which the new projects of law had beer, referred, were brought up at the sitting of the Cham- ber of Deputies on Tuesday. One of them was read, and it was understood that the Committees had approved of all the four Bills, with some immaterial exceptions, and that the discussion would take place relative to their adoption 011 Thursday. The French Opposition Journals are still vehement, in their condemnation of the measures with which King Louis Philippe pro- poses rewarding the expressed allegiance of the great majority of the nation for his person and Government, and the Ministerial Papers in endeavours to palliate them. The Press is not, it appears, to run riot, without repression and punishment, while waiting the Act which is to put the extinguisher on its freedom. The Quotidienne and the Bon Sens of Monday were respectively seized for adopting certain strictures of the London Press on the proposed enactments. The Gazette de Franee was similarly sei/. ed for an original article, entitled " Lettres de la Gazette d son voisin." Arrests of persons suspected of connection with the attempt oil the King's life continue daily to take place ; but it appears that the Government and the police remain as utterly ignorant of the circumstances which led to it as before it was committed. The assassin is recovering, and his trial is expected to take place before the Court of Peers about the 1st of September. The Chamber of Peers appear to have, at last, agreed upon a ver- dict in the case of the prisoners under the proces- monstre. Of these, thirty, all from Lyons, have been found guilty, and the punishment is to be transportation for life. Against tour of the principal, form- ing, as they did, the " Executive Council of the Society of the Rights of Man," it is understood the judgment will be rigidly enforced; the others will meet with milder treatment. SPAIX.— The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the report of the Minister of Justice relative to the suppression of 900 convents and monasteries throughout Spain, and the Royal Decree sanctioning that suppression. The disturbances continue in Catalonia, and the Captain General Lauder has, it is reported, felt it prudent to retire into France. There is nothing of any interest from the armies in the north, where Cordova is evidently waiting for the arrival of the foreign mercenaries before he undertakes any movement of importance. Barcelona has'been the scene of fresh disturbances of the most revolting character. On the 5th inst. General Bassa, who had arrived on the day before, at the head of 2,000 men, was attacked in the Palace itself, hurled from the balcony, dragged through the street, and is dead body was thrown into the flames. The residences of the civil government and police were invaded; the troops durst not act; the city was delivered up to the most complete anarchy, which the creation of a new municipality could alone put an end to.— Another despatch announces that on the morning of the 6th the generate was beaten, and that the militia at length succeeded in restraining the anarchists. On the same day many arrests and several exections took place. The following important intelligence has been communicated by the correspondent of one of the London newspapers. We ought, however, to say, that the official reports represent the subjoined ac- count— or at least the accounts generally circulated— as greatly ex- aggerated. For ourselves, we believe that the disturbances, to what- ever length they may have risen, neither originated, nor had any connexion whatever, with a political feeling against the King of PRUSSIA, than whom a more Aservedly popular Monarch does not exist:— BERLIN, Aug. 4.— I regret to inform you that the celebration of the King's birthday was yesterday disturbed by very serious occur- rences. The cause of this unfortunate affair was, as in most cases of the like nature, extremely insignificant, but the consequences, nevertheless, not the less melancholy and disastrous. For some time past it has been tliecustom to prohibit the firing of muskets and pistols on rejoicing days. In former years many unfortunate acci- dents had resulted from this practice, and therefore on this occasion strict orders had been issued prohibiting firing of every kind. This, however, only served to instigate to a violation of the order which many were contumaciously disposed to resist, and accordingly yester- day evening after twilight shots were heard on all sides. In the exercise- grounds ( an extensive space in front of the Brandenburgh gate) great numbers of the lower classes assembled, and amused themselves by firing. The gendarmerie endeavoured to restrain them, but the crowd was too great, and the police- officers were set at defiance. Troops were therefore called in to restore order, and they proceeded to use force. The Dragoons and Uhlans employed their sabres against the disturbers of the peace, who fled into the Zoological Garden and sheltered themselves among the shrubberies, where the horsmen could not follow them. The cavalry, however, spread themselves over the ground as circumstances seemed to require, and struck at the mass of the promenaders, which greatly irritated the people. M any women andchildren were thrown down, and some of them received sabre cuts. The people armed themselves with stones, with which they, in their turn, attacked the troops. The conflict was fiercely maintained for some time. The mob, however, soon entered through the Brandenburgh gate, and proceeded towards the town through the main promenade by the lime- trees. Here the greatest excesses were perpetrated. The rabble broke the benches, and armed themselves with the fragments; tore up the poles to which the young trees were tied, and with them broke all the lamps among the trees. Meanwhile repeated charges were made by the cavalry, and a great number suffered on both sides. According to some reports, which certainly are much exaggerated, about 400 are wounded, besides some killed. It is said some officers were pulled from their horses and murdered; and it is asserted that several of the gendarmerie are killed. Finally, immense masses of people crowded into the town, destroying the windows everywhere as they passed along, and menacing the City Guards, who, being too weak to withstand them, rested on their arms and watched the movements of the rioters. In the face of the main guard the mob surrounded the Palace of the Princess Von Leignitz, and destroyed several of the windows. A cavalry picket marched to the adjoining Palace of the Kingforits protection. The blind rage of the mob had nearly led to the destruction of the fine statue of BLUCHER, but it was fortunately saved from their fury. The house of the Com- mandant, however, which is close by, was severely handled. All the panes were smashed, and even the window frames torn out or driven in. At this time the Commandant, General Von TIPPELSKIRCH, was absent. His present substitute is General Von ROSTITZ. The mob at length got to the Palace liberty and the Palace- court, which bound the two principal fronts of the Palace, and here the tumult seems to have been the most violen^. At half- past eleven the generate was beat, and a great number of troops assembled, headed by Duke CHARLES of MECKLENBURGH on horseback. At the corner of every street we observe this morning a police pro- clamation posted up, which hundreds are endeavouring to read. All the lamps of the magnificent candelabra in the middle of the Palace- at POUCH. Among the night charges brougtit oelure Mr. Dyer and Mr. Halls, _ Marlborcigh- street. on Wednesday last, was one Bob Davis, a sqaat, bow- fegged figure, with a head" of hair as rough as a badger's back, and exhibiting ii> his whole appearance an ugly specimen of the " All- round- mv- hat" fraternity, charged by the po'lice with hav- ing been found drunk thfr over- night. A t a late hour, it appeared, a donkey with a cart behind it had been seen plodding round and round Berkeley- square, apparently without any driver, and the animal hav- ing, with peculiar sagacity, probably guessed at tlie situation of mat- ters fromnot. feeling the customary irresistible blackthorn arguments on his crupper, made a full stop to take " forty winks" after his wearying day's labour. The policeman on duty having noticed the circumstance,, went up to the cart, and on looking into it, saw the defendant stretched on his back, in that happy state of oblivion which a continued inquiry into the merits of Bart- lav and Co.' s entire never fail to create!— Mr. Dyer: What have you to say to the charge?— Bob Davis: Vy, your Honorable Vership, 1 got this here to say, ' at I sould out all" my liinguns an' I sent home my Sal to get a bit of pickled salmon for supper vhile I just stopped to have a drain vith another gentleman wot sweeps a crossing in Hoxford- street. Arter I'd been my un for his'n, I cuts avav home; but vhen I got into Barklay- skvare, I vent of qvite promiscuous into a reglar snooze. The ony vay as f can account for sitch an hadwenture is ' at the veathervos sogallushot ' at I must have dropped into a pot orsomore ' an vot vos proper.— What are you : I follows the market line.— You are a costermonger, I suppose ? Vy no. Now I've perwided a curt, for my donkey I considers myself a reglar tradesman. Hopes you'll look over my accident this here vonce, as it's th.* werry first time.— That you've been, drunk, do you mean ? No; ' at I've been cotched. If you'll take my vord, I'll give you my hicksy dicksy as you shant see me not never no more.— The Bench, taking into considration the fact of his quiet behaviour when sober, and giving him credit for his m- ofessions of reformation, ordered him to be discharged.— Bob Davis, who stood at the bar looking pathetically with all his might, evinced, by several low bows, his gratitude at not having been com- pelled to " fork out" the customary five shillings. Wednesday a decent- looking young woman, though dressed in shabby widow's weeds, which betokened much distress, came to Marlborough- street office, and stated that she was married to her late husband, John Lucas, in the parish church of Allhallows Barking, in the city of London, in the month of January, 1829, and had by nim two children— the one four years old and the other Id months. In the month of January last her husband sailed out of the port of London, as cook on board the Apollo, and in the month of May she received intelligence of his death, which took place in the month of March last. With the trifle of wages that was due to her husband at the time of his death, end by selling portions of her little furniture, she struggled on until about'four weeks ago, when she was compelled to apply to the overseers of the poor of the parish of St. Leonard's, Bromley, in which she then resided, for some relief. On her repre- senting her case she was relieved with two shillings, and was told to procure the names of the Captain and owners of the vessel on board of which her husband died before she came again. This she did, but was refused any thing further until she had ascertained where her husband had lived during the last- 40 days of his apprenticeship. This she found impracticable, but had produced to the overseer her husband's indenture, by which it appeared that he had been bound in 1822 to a Mr. Herbert, a ship- owner at Scarborough ; but whether he had spent the last 40 days of his ap prenticeship there or elsewhere it did not specify, nor could she ascertain. She was, however, told thatuntil she found it out-. andlet the officers know, she could not have any more relief. She, the applicant, endeavoured to exist without troubling them, but being without friends or relations to assist her, and being reduced to a state of extreme misery, she was obliged again to make application to the parish officers, but she was sorry to say without being able to get the slightest assistance. On the day before she sat from nine o'clock in. the morning until nine in the evening at the door of the relieving overseer of the parish, and was obliged to return without receiving a farthing. Undir these circumstances, and not knowing what to do, she had made up her mind to apply to the Magistrates at this office, in the hope that they would do something for her.— Mr. Walker remarked that he always found there was something wrong in such cases, and that the parties generally kept back some necessary information from the parish officers, and he felt satisfied that the parish, officers of Bromley would do what was right. His Worship added that they ( the Magistrates) could not do anything for her, but must leave her to the parish officers.— The poor woman left the office crying bitterly, saying she knew not on earth what to do. VAUXHALL.— Thursday the public were entertained with a one shilling grand fete at Vauxhall, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. There was no lack of attendance, the persons present being esti- mated at 10,000. The grand sight of all was the balloon race. When the preparatory arrangements were made, Mr. Green, sen., jumped into his cot, accompanied b'y another gentleman, and hovered in mid- air for some time, waiting for his brother courser through. " the fields of air." Green himself was about to make his two hun- dred and third trip, and his brother air sailor was to make his forty- second trip. The old aerial tar, accompanied by another, cut his painter first. His ship jerked lightly into the air, and shot horizon- tally across the galleries of spectators, many of whom ducked their- heads in fright lest the balloon would jerk against them. The other balloon, piloted by the younger Green, which evidently was not so- well inflated or so well prepared as the preceding,, was immediately- loosened from its moorings, and shot right into the firmament, far above the range of its antagonist. Green the- younger, having done his best, and mounted to his full height, seemed for a few- minutes to descend perpendicularly to the earth, but by the aid of sand- dropping, which showered from his boat in no nigsrard measure, he maintained his buoyancy, and darted after his brother, who coasted the cloudy ocean with all the skill and dexterity of an airy voyager. But the younger Green struck higher into the sea of air and was soon lost to view. Old Green " held his steady- course unerring,'' and kept his ship in view for a long time, " at airy distance, with majestic motion," to the delight of the countless multi- tudes who beheld him. We must not omit to mention that the amateur aeronaut, who had paid twenty guineas for his passage with Green the elder, after having taken his place in the car took fright, leapt out just as the aerial vessel was about to be set free from alL earthly impediments, and fairly ran away. About twenty minutes past seven the younger Green, with his companion, descended in some fields near Barnes, and a few minutes before eight the elder brother also reached terra firma in some fields about Wandsworth. CASE OF POISONING.— At the Norwich. Assizes, on Friday se'nnight, Fanny Billing and Catherine Frarey were tried on two charges of poisoning. The facts of the cases a ffor. ded a shocking proof- of human depravity. The prisoners were first tried for the wilful murder of Mary, the wife of Peter Taylor, by administering arsenic in graf*- The parties were all in humble life, and lived at Burnham ( the birth- place of Nelson). Peter Taylor, the husband of the murdered wo- man, is a hair- cutter, and in the beginning of the present year formed an illicit connection with Billing, the prisoner. 1 his begat a jealousy on the part of Mrs. Taylor, whom the prisoner in conse- quence resolved upon murdering. For Mrs. Frarey's services to Mrs. Billing in this murder, the latter agreed to assist the former in getting rid of her ( Mrs. F.' s) husband, who had become jealous of her, and these two atrocious schemes were carried into complete effect.— In the latter end of February they purchased arsenic at the shop of a chemist at Burnham, and in the evening of the 4th of March, administered a portion of it to Mrs. Taylor in gruel: she soon died, and ( he two prisoners assisted in laying out the body, regaling them- selves afterwards with tea in the room where the corpse lay !— The court are broken. In one of them there is still a large brickbat. ' Jury without hesitation found the prisoners guilty.— They were then rr,, . i 1 " i m - it i- 1 i . i i - i - i 1 - i V. r * i_ _ T .!.. _. i 1 Til il.

This morning, by six o'clock, the people were crowding iu thou- sands to the exercise grounds, and a renewal of the riots is appre- hended in the evening. A great number of persons have been ar- rested. It is reported that the Captain of Cavalry, Von SCHINCH, is among the killed. Rear- Admiral CHARLES ADAM has been appointed a Knight Com- mander of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, in the room of Lord AMELIUS BEAUCLERK. The following definitions of experimental and natural philosophy were given to us some days since by a Pearl street merchant. " Ex- perimental philosophy," said he, " is to ask a man to discount a note; natural philosophy is to refuse it."— New York Star. The Rajah of Jeypore died on the 5tli of April, and according to general belief his demise was the result of poison given him by his Minister, who was the paramour of the Princess's mother. It appears that the young Rajah's mind had been previously debased, and that his rule had Keen one continued scene of vice. arraigned upon an indictment charging them with the wilful murder, by poison, of Robert Frarey, the husband of one of the prisoners. It was clearly proved in evidence that the two women contrived to put arsenic into some porter which they gave Frarey, who died on the second day after drinking it. His wife had the body interred ma very hasty manner; but suspicion arising, the body was exhumed, and on testing the contents of the stomach, arsenic was found.- A verdict of guilty was also returned in this case, and Mr. oaron Hot- land ordered the prisoners for execution on Monday, and their bodies were directed to be buried within the prison walls. * rarey, towards the close of the Learned Judge's affecting and solemn address, fell into hysterics, and both the prisoners seemed duly sensible of their fearful situation ; but no sympathy appeared to be felt towards these monsters in human form on the part of the auditory.— 1 he two mi- serable wretches were executed on Monday m the presence of from 20 to 30,000 spectators, above one- half of whom were women. It is not expected that the Carlow; Election Committee will fmi » h their labours before the conclusion of the session. The same may DO said of the- Dublin election Committee. 296 JOHN BULL. September 13. TO CORRESPOND EATS. tie thank ABISTIDES, but although we perfectly agree in the senti- ments he expresses, we see no advantage ( especially under present circumstances) to be gained by avmcing them. H'e cannot explain our meaning more clearly here. A. T. will see we have adopted his suggestion. JOHN BULL. LONDON, AUGUST 16. THEIR MAJESTIES honoured the Marquess of AILSA with their company at dinner at St. Margaret's, on Tuesday. On Wednesday the KING held a Levee, and an Investiture of the Bath. On Thursday the anniversary of the birth of Her MAJESTY was celebrated with every demonstration of loyalty and en- thusiasm at Windsor; aud yesterday a Chapter of the Garter was held, at which Prince'OEORGE of CUMBERLAND and Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE were elected Knights of the illustrious Order. The Knights afterwards dined with the SOVEREIGN. WE heartily and sincerely congratulate the freemen of Eng- land aud the country at large upon the success of the Con- servative and constitutional amendments proposed by Lord LYNDHURST, in the House of Lords, to certain clauses in the Municipal Reform Bill. Our opinion, as to the principle of the Bill, and as to the mode of treating it in the first instance, is known. Sir ROBERT PEEL, however, admitted the principle, aud argued in favour of correcting abuses where they existed— a line of conduct • which the Right Hon. Baronet was doubtlessly led to pursue by the statements contained in the Report of the Commis- sioners. To undeceive those who felt with Sir RORERT PEEL that great grievances existed, and that the abuses were such as to justify the interference of Parliament with Charters and Cor- porations hitherto considered sacred, or if liable to correction or visitation, only so liable to the KING himself in the highest law court of the land, in which his MAJESTY is supposed him- self to be present, we ventured to suggest the course of hear- ing Counsel against the Bill, and evidence against the allega- tions contained in the Report— and how was the proposition, when adopted, met by Ministers ? Why Lord MELBOURNE • declared that the Bill was not founded upon the Report. If so, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S original toleration of the Bill goes for nothing— we presume his mind was made up by reading the rhodomontade assertions of the Commissioners, and so " was induced to listen to the propositions which the Bill contained. If the Bill were not founded on the Report, upon what was it founded? If the Commissioners were not appointed and paid to collect evidence to justify the measure, what were they paid and appointed for ? It seems, however, that Lord MELBOURNE abandoned this line of defence, at least we heard no more of it; but when he and his colleagues were beaten by a large majority, his Lordship, losing his temper, instead of acknowledging a defeat, talks of being coerced. After a patient investigation of the allegations against the different Corporations— or at least those most bitterly assailed -— the House of Peers, feeling themselves justified by what they have heard, resolve to vindicate the rights of the free- men, which, as it appears— even admitting the principle— they have done nothing to forfeit. Lord LYNDHURST in a most able and luminous speech, interrupted only by the small sarcasms of Lord MELBOURNE ( the last man in England to indulge in them), aud the pleasing eccentricities of Lord BROUGHAM, proposed an amendment, in the form of a clause, to be inserted immediately after the first clause, declaring that as it would be unjust to deprive the Corporations of their rights and privileges, and to apply the same to other purposes— those rights ought to be preserved to all persons who now are admitted as freemen or burgesses of a borough, to the wives or widows, sons or daughters of any freeman, or any person who had espoused the widow or daughter of a freeman, or any person bound apprentice to any freeman. This amendment excited Lord MELBOURNE in a consider- able degree; and the Duke of WELLINGTON having replied to some allusions made to his Grace by the Noble Viscount, a scene took place, which is thus graphically described in the Times of Friday: • " Lord BROUGHAM, returning at half- past seven o'clock from the ( probably) pleasanter occupations which had detained him elsewhere, seized the earliest opportunity of complaining that Lord Lyndhurst had not waited— in other words, that the business of the House had not been suspended— until his arrival. The following scene was the consequence;— " Lord BUOUGHAM.— How have I been treated ? I could not have belieied, if I had not heard it on the testimony of those who are in- capable of misrepresenting what occurred, " the passage that has taken place in my absence. I did not come into the House early in the sittings of the* evening. " The Earl of VVICKLOW.— At half- past seven o'clock. " Lord BROUGHAM.— And is this a breach of parliamentary duty ? ( Hear, hear, from i. ord Wicklow.) Is this an impeachable offence ? ( Hear, hear, from Lord Wicklow.) The Noble Earl says, that coming in at half- past seven o'clock is a breach of parliamentary duty. " The Earl of WICKLOW.— I said no such thing. " Lord BROUGHAM.— Thatit is an impeachable offence. " The Earl of WICKLOW.— I said nothing of the kind. " Lord BROUGHAM.— But the Noble Earl cheered at what I said, " which I took to mean his assent." " In another part of his Lordship's speech there was a cry of * question,' whereupon his Lordship waxed warm aud said— " My Lords,— I think I heard some Noble Lord cry out' question,' and it appears as if several of your Lordships were disposed to res- pond to that cry. Is that with the view to put me down ? Do any of your Lordships imagine that you will succeed in the attempt? If you do, I only tell you that the silly notion is founded in complete and entire ignorance of me. Put me down! My Lords, I have stood against two- thirds of the House of Commons, when an attempt was made to drown argument by noise and vociferation, and I succeeded; and do . vou think that your Lordships can succeed in any similar attempt ? ' Contempsi Cataliiue gladios, non pertimescam tuos.' Does any Noble Lord think that he— " The Earl of ROSSLV. V rose to order, and made one or two re- marks, but they w ere altogether inaudible in the gallery. " Lord BHOUGHAM ( resuming his seat the moment the Noble Earl rose)— I have done. I shan't say another word." " This martial sally of Lord BROUGHAM naturally entertained their Lordships vastly, so much so indeed that they appear to have deter- mined to provoke a little more in the same strain. Accordingly, in a subsequent part of our parliamentary report, we find the following p assage:— " Lord BROUGHAM, on rising, was received with a general cry of * question/ and ' spoke.' The Noble and Learned Lord, with much energy, exclaimed, There, now, I expected this; I am to be pre- vented from speaking; 1 am not to have the privilege of a Committee. ( No, no.) I am to be put down with the cries of ' spoke, spoke.' ( No, no.) Don't say that— you know it is so( pointing with his finger to a Noble Lord who stood near the Throne, and who made some re- mark}. You have no right to say so- you are not in the House. I ( Order, order.) | Ile is out of the House. ( Cries of order, order; go on.") The House subsequently divided upon the amendment, when there appeared— Contents 130 Non- coutents 37 Majority against Ministers.... 93 A most important amendment was subsequently moved by the Duke of WELLINGTON, that " the boundaries of the se- veral municipal boroughs be and shall remain fixed as they now are, until otherwise determined by Parliament." This was carried without a division, and will necessarily put an end to the caperings of our " right trusty and well- beloved" JO- SEPH I'ARKES'S new- fangled Commission, so impudently issued before the Bill had even passed the House of Commons. On Friday, Lord LYNDHURST, having - amended several clauses, aud entirely struck out several others, moved an amendment, that one- sixth part of the inhabitants of boroughs, paying the highest amount of borough rates, shall be eligible for members " of the Town Council. The objection to" the amendment seemed to be,, that it would divide the inhabitants into classes, and exclude those who were not equally wealthy with their neighbours ; this objection will be remedied upon a future occasion. Ministers and their adherents opposed it, because they held that no qualification at all was necessary. Lord MELBOURNE, admitting his despair of success, divided the House, when there appeared:— For Lord LYNDHURST'S amendment. .120 Against it 39 Majority against Ministers 81 The progress thus made in the correction of the Bill cannot fail to eive the greatest satisfaction, not only to those destined to be deprived of their rights, but to all men anxious to pro- tect the Constitution from further inroads and innovations. What the opinion of the Bill is amongst those who have a stake in the country, and who of course are most anxious for her welfare and prosperity, may be gathered by the amount and character of the Ministerial minority of 37.

May we ask where, upon such a question, were the Dukes of NORFOLK, SOMERSET, BEDFORD, SUTHERLAND, CLEVELAND, and the long array of Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, and Barons who usually support the Whig Ministry ? In the above list there are a very few unaccounted for; and we should be glad to know what Lord MELBOURNE would have said, or what the Government writers would have said, if they had been in Opposition, aud the Duke of WEL- LINGTON had divided 37 to 130, which 37 included the Ministers themselves, five Bishops of their own making, six Officers of the Royal Household, nine Peers of their own creation or elevation, one Irish Ribband of their own giving, and an ex- Lord Chancellor playing fast and loose, leaving a minority of nine, who may be fairly supposed to be unfettered by official claims or personal favours, including the Right Honourable Lord TEYNHAM ! We ask what the Whig Oppo- sition would have said to such an affair ?— We will not trouble our readers with the answer, but leave the case entirely to Lord MELBOURNE'S own good taste and consideration. The proceedings on the Bill will be resumed to- morrow. WE have no room to enter into ( he details of the Budget, which, by dint of great labour and wonderful talent, has at last been produced on the 14th of August. No relief is given to the people, if we except the diminution of a duty of sixpence upon flint glass to two- pence— excellent Chancellor of the Exchequer ! THE Directors of the East India Company have made a great gulp, and swallowed Lord AUCKLAND as their Governor- General ; but people say that the pill was not taken until it was sufficiently gilt to disguise its bitterness. It seems that the expenses of ( he island of St. Helena, amounting to about .£ 7,000 per annum, are to be transferred from the accounts of the East India Company to that of his Majesty's Government. We beg distinctly to deny any knowledge of the fact that this relief is in any way connected with Lord AUCKLAND'S appointment. We liave heard that it is— if it be not, it is a curious coincidence. LETTERS from Jamaica and Barbados agree in represent- ing the total failure of the apprentice system. In Jamaica, a meeting had been held at Trelawney, to receive a report of proprietors aud planters relative to the working of the appren- ticeship system, aud to adopt means for procuring the settle- ment of white emigrants. Resolutions were passed to the effect that nine months' experience of the new system had proved it to be disadvantageous to the culture of sugar. " That in the opinion of this meeting the only chance of preserving ( lie island i from destruction is offered by the settlement of white families in the interior, where the climate is so temperate that Euro- peans could perform all the labours required in cultivating coffee, ginger, and the minor produce." It was also agreed that a memorial should be addressed to the Governor on the subject. This sounds pleasant. So— as if the nation had not been sufficiently oppressed by being made to pay twenty millions of money to convert fat, happy, and contented slaves into squalid, listless, and idle apprentices— it is now gently in- sinuated, that, as the blacks are emancipated, the lower ch sses of free Englishmen are to undertake to do the slaves' work. We quite agree in the belief that nothing but the intro- duction of European emigrants will save the Colonies ; but, as we never imagined the Colonies would be saved, after the emancipation of the uegroes, so we do not fancy that the invitation to the English labourers will be very readily ac- cepted. The accounts from Barbados are equally unsatisfactory; but the letters which we have seen do not go the length of suggesting a remedy. The following is extracted from a cir- cular addressed by tile Governor of that island, on the 21st of May, to the Special Magistrates. His Excellency urges upon these gentlemen the necessity for increased exertion, on the ground that—" The complaints against the apprenticed labourers, for neglect of work, for thefts, and injury to crops, are so frequent and numerous that the Special Magistrates in some districts can hardly get through their business." We shall next week submit some curious discrepancies relative to Government and the Colonial Minister, which may be found neither uninstructive nor unamusing. IT was generally supposed that the residt of yesterday's Cabinet was a resolution on the part of Ministers to resign— to be sure, never were Ministers in such a dilemma— we do not believe it, for feeling or delicacy they have none, and being for the most part very needy men, it is an object to keep in. One thing alone would induce ( hem to make a show of retirement— the belief that Sir ROBERT PEEL would not return to office. Whether he would or not, we have no means of knowing; but of this we are sure, that if he declined he would do a great and lasting injustice to the country. Known as he now is as Prime Minister, a dissolution of Parliament, with him at the head of a Government, would scatter the miserable pretenders who have been smuggled into the House of Com- mons, and Secure a sweeping majority in favour of Conserva- tive principles, ( he value of which has been made more ( ban ever evident by the shameful, or rather shameless, attempts of the Destructive Ministry within the last few weeks. As for their going out, we still discredit it; they may, we think, be driven out— aud we are certain the country, gene- rally speaking, looks for such an event with anxiety. THERE is nothing new from Spain, except the account of a mission to Don CARLOS, in order to induce him to rescind his resolution of punishing with deatl) all foreigners found in arms against him. The measure is a strong one. and we believe- origiuates in the sugges( ion of French politicians; however, it has been adopted, and Field- Marshal EVANS had better look out. The mission was absurd— but not so absurd as a proposition from Geueral CORDOVA to the KING, to abandon the favour- able positions in which his army is placed, and come out and fight upon the plains. CORDOVA may be a great General, but he must be a consummate ass to imagine that the KING'S troops, to oblige him, and give him a chance, were to adopt his field of battle. We wish Don CARLOS had not issued the decree; but having done so— there is an end. We rather think that a large steamer, full of the materiel of war, and many troops, which sailed from the river a few nights since for tile service of the QUEEN, is now in a Dutch port, under the colours of Don CARLOS— we shall see. WE must confess that Louis PHILIPPE is playing a bold aud instructive game in France. He is sliowiug the revolu- tionists, to whom he owes his throne, the absolute folly of anything but absolute Monarchy in France. He is right— it has always been so after the mild Louis the SIXTEENTH was murdered for the sake of Liberty; the Liberty- boys by whom he was succeeded, were murdered in their turn; anil then came BUONAPARTE, exalted in ( he cause of Liberty, who became an Emperor over the people instead ot a King, and ruled them with a rod of iron— shot the Ducd'ENGHF. LN, and PALM the bookseller, to show his magnanimity and his love of the freedom of the Press— who over- ran all Europe, and was the delight of the French. To him succeeds the ancient Dynasty, and mildness and a constitutional representation is established ; it lasts ( he ( ime of Louis XVIII.; but CHARLES X. and his Ministry are exiled for implied tyranny, to cure which an usurper is hoisted upon the throne, who begins an Ultra- Liberal, finds himself laughed at, turns savage, is assassinated, and then falls back upon the system upon which alone the French can be managed— the jails are filled with state prisoners, the army I is augmented, batteries against the people are erected; the liberty of the Press is absolutely annihilated, and the foot of the Monarch is on the neck of the nation. This will do— j we have great expectations now of the stability of the throne of Louis PHILIPPE; he has abandoned his brown silk um- brella for a rod of iron, and as long as he can keep them in slavery, which by dint of bayonets and cartridges he will do, he will continue KING OF FRANCE, if not KING OF> THE FRENCH. It is greatly to the credit of his MAJESTY that, when in England, driven from his country by feelings, principles, and atrocities similar to those by which he has since wrongfully obtained his uncle's throne, he became a teacher of the French language at Isleworth. A few days since, a gentleman now in London, who had been one of his pupils, told a friend that he intended, when he visited Paris, to pay his respects to his illustrious ci- devant tutor at the Tuileries. " How," said the friend, " shall you address his MAJESTY ? " " As of old,'* said the Gentleman— " Nominative LB ROI. Genitive DE ROI. Dative Au Roi." ' —" Then," replied the friend, " I think you will find his MAJESTY decline the compliment as well as yourself." THE frequent recurrence of circumstances illustrative of the activity of the Destructive faction with regard to the new regis- tration, renders it absolutely necessary to direct the attention of all persons interested in the support of the Constitution, to August 2.9J JOHN BULL. 260 the claims made on the part of those who are avowedly dis- affected to the present order of tilings. The principle upon which the Whigs and Radicals are acting, is this— If you have a real right of voting by the possession of freehold property, multiply that right to the fullest extent by making transfers of divisions and sub- divisions of it. If you have no real vote, and therefore can not by this dictating system acquire a sham one, make a false claim : it can but be objected to— and then, if you have abandoned the principle which scorns falsehood and deceit, you will be no worse off than you were before. We will give a casein point. A Mr. BENJAMIN RUSSELL ( more RUSSELLS) had a vote for North Warwickshire, in right of some property he possessed there. This property he sold, and consequently lost his vote; but being a trustee for some charity lands in the same parish, he has claimed to vote in right of that land so held in trust. As no property held in trust, can confer a vote upon a trustee, although it may upon the cestui que trust, this vote will of course be objected to, inasmuch as there is uot the slightest pretence for supporting the claim. We should not have thought it worth while to mention this individual case, were it not that hundreds of similar claims have been made under similar circumstances, and under the advice and superintendence of AVhig- Radical agents. The claim of this veiy Mr. RUSSELL was, if we mistake not, put in, in the hand- writing of Mr. WRATTESLAW, a lawyer of Rugby, who is agent for the Reform Association ; and we also believe, that in the parish of Churehover, in a similar manner, claims have been made by four trustees of a meeting- house in that place. In the parish of Rotherhithe we are told that the following names are registered— BENJAMIN HAWES, Esq., M. P.; WILLIAM ALLEN, JOHN BARKER, JOHN BROWN, W. G. COLCHESTER, ALEXANDER CRICHTON, J. A. DERIEMER, FREDERICK PERKINS, W. R. SILVESTER, E. H. WOOLAS- TON, and F. L. WOOLASTON, for East Surrey, as— what will the reader suppose?— as Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company! Mr. HENRY WARBURTON, M. P., it seems, re- gistered last year for a sixty years' unexpired term on lands and houses, whereas it is stated he holds only a twenty years' underlease of premises in the occupation of LEWIS, MORGAN, and others. These are new and pleasant specimens. With regard to the attempt of establishing claims for trustees, we suspect it will be found to have been made upon a very great scale in the metropolis, on the part of persons desirous of voting for the county of Middlesex. While we are upon this subject, we feel it our duty to publish a letter which has been addressed to the editor of the Times newspaper by Mr. ROMILLY, touching the apparent adoption, by that gentleman's family, of the RUSSELL system: TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR,— As I observe in your leading article of this day a direct WELLINGTON, would— had the policy of a PITT been our text— have looked to us as a part of their existence, and ia & c., went to the Chapel Royal, and heard Divine service The Duke of MANCHESTER carried the Sword of, State.

The Earl of PORTMORE and Duke of has the cowardly underhand Whig Foreign policy reduced us ? GRAFTON, several thousands!" This is the first article of intelligence, and considering the just indignation of Mr. ROTCH and his fellows, so properly expressed by the sentence on ABBOTT, it is a startling one. Not only the KING played Hazard, but the QUEEN played ... Hazard— and uot only the QUEEN, but the Princesses, each j been answered by the protocols of Lord PALMERSTON, the after her kind. The QUF.

I beg also to state, that the interest ill these chambers of each of the seven pro- prietors amounts to about 401. yearly. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN ROMILLY. Lincoln's Inn, August 11. THE House of Lords have disposed of the Roman Catholic Marriages Bill. When we say disposed of it, we mean thrown it out. The poets talk of " sporting and gambolling'' as very inno- cent recreations. The following report of a trial for the crime of keeping a sporting gambling- house, will show that the Middlesex Magistrates take a different view of the case:— MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS, Arc. 13. _ GAMBLING- HOUSES.— THE KING V. RETTER AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against, four persons, named Retter, Jay, Cleaver, and Abbott, for Keeping a gaming- house at No. t>, St. James's- square, who, it will be remembered, were taken before a Magistrate at Marlborough- street, and held to bail. The prosecutor was a Mr. Augustus Newton, but the indictment had been preferred by the parish ot St. James. Mr. Adolphus appeared to prosecute. An application, on the case being called, was made by Mr. Clark- son, on the part of the defendant Retter, for an adjournment. The Chairman ( Mr. Rotch) rejected the application, and ordered the recognizances to be estreated. William Abbott was then arraigned for keeping a gaming- house in conjunction with the other defendants. Mr. Adolphus ( with whom was Mr. Prendergast) stated the case. He said Mr. Newton was not the prosecutor, but the parish had taken up the matter, by the advice of the Rector and other gentlemen. Mr. Augustus Newton, who described himself as a student of Lin- coln's Inn, was examined at considerable length in support of the prosecution. The Jury found the defendant guilty. The Chairman, in giving judgment, said there had been several cases of this description tried lately, and that the Court must pass a severe sentence. The sentence was, that the defendant be impri- soned and kept to hard labour for twelve months in the House of Cor- rection. The Court were determined to put down gambling- houses. This determination of the Court is, no doubt, highly praise- worthy; but without affecting to adopt the levelling tone of the Destructives, we must venture to observe, that the visit- ation of justice, or rather of the Justices, upon Mr. WILLIAM ABBOTT ( whoever he may be), does seem somewhat of the heaviest, considering that in the same parish the same amuse- ments— or vices, if you please— flourish in peace and security; observing always, tliat vice or criminality are not entirely re- gulated by subscription or non- subscription. We admit that the locale of the house now judicially be- seiged, was not perhaps judiciously selected— it stood mid- way between the houses of the Bishops of LONDON and WIN- CHESTER, in the latter of which, while the Union Club, more money was lost and won in a week, than would have circulated in the ill- fated monastery of which the ABBOTT is now on the tread- mill, in a month— else, we confess we cannot quite agree to the principle which sends one man to the House of Correction for a year, and leaves other houses for years with- out correction ; however, uinsi va le monde; and in order to reconcile the captive of Cold Bath- fields to his fate, and the public to its justice, we will just select from the Gentleman's Magazine for January, 1731, the two following articles of intelligence, which exhibit a case so very much stronger, as to place Mr. ROTCH, in our ininds, upon a par with Solon, or even Solomon:— " Wednesday. Gth January.-— This being TweMlh- day, his MAJESTY, the Prince of WALES, and the Knights Companions of the Garter, Thistle, and Bath, appeared in the collars of their respective orders. Their MAJESTIES, the Prinae of! the singular advantage not only of participating, in the gra- duated pleasure of the game, but of seeing Lord POIITMORE and the Duke of GRAFTON win several thousands. This, we say, would speak highly in favour of Hazard, and strongly in mitigation of ABBOTT'S punishment, were it not immediately followed by this !— " At night, Mr. SHARPLESS, High Constable of Holborn division, with several ofhis petty constables, searched a noto- rious gaming- house behind Gray's- Inu- walks, by virtue of a warrant from the Right Honourable Lord DELAWARE and eleven other of his MAJESTY'S ! Justices of the Peace for the county of Middlesex ; but the gamesters, having previous no- tice, all fled, except the master of the house, who was apprehended and bound in a recognizance of 200/. penalty, pursuant to the old statute of the 33d Hen. VIII." We must admit that this is even a stronger case than the present one. The Court in the KING'S Palace are playing hazard with the KING—" Me Master of the Horse" with the KING'S consort and the KING'S young daughters, and the party amongst them win, and of course lose several thousands, at the very moment that twelve of his MAJESTY'S Justices of the Peace scatter and disperse another equally agreeable party, and bind the master of the house in a recognizance of 200/. • King GEORGE the Second seemed to think of Hazard as King JAMES the First did of scratching, that it was too great a luxury for a subject; at all events, wre cannot imagine any declaration so striking of the possibility of there being one law for the poor and another for the rich, as this. These two articles of intelligence which we have quoted, are followed by some information which is curious, as con- veying a view of the state of society at that period. After recounting the prosperity of the Royal sport, and the demolition of the minor tables, the Magazine goes on thus :— " It may be some sort of amusement to present our readers with the following list of officers established in the most noto- rious gaming- houses:— " 1. A Commissioner— always a proprietor— who looks in of a night, and the week's accompt is . always audited by him and two others of the proprietors. 2. A Director, who superin- tends the room. 3. An Operator, who deals the cards at a cheat- ing game called Faro. 4. Two Crowpees !—( croupiers)— who watch the cards and gather the money into the bank. 5. Two Puffs, who have money given them to decoy others to play. 6. A Clerk, who is a check upon the Puffs, to see that they sink none of the money that is given them to play with. 7- A Squib, is a Puff of a lower ran'-", who serves at half- salary while he is learning to deal. 8. A Flasher, to swear how often the bank has been stript. 9. A Dunner, who goes about to recover money lost at play. 10. A Waiter, to fill out wine, snuff candles, and attend in the gaming- rooms. 11. An Attorney, a Newgate solicitor. 12. A Captain, who is to fight a gentleman who is peevish for losing his money. 13. An Usher, who lights gentlemen up and down stairs, and gives the word to the Porter. 14. A Porter, who is generally a soldier of the Fool Guards ! 15. An Orderly Man, who walks up and down outside the door to give notice to the Porter and alarm the house at the approach of the constables. 16. A Runner, who is to get intelligence of the Justices' meetings. 17- Linkboys, Coachmen, Drawers, and others, who bring the first intelligence of the Justices' meetings, or the Con- stables being out, a half- a- guinea reward. 18. Common Bail. Affidavit Men, Ruffians, Bravos, Assassins'.— cum multis aliis! " This is indeed a most formidable arrav. We suspect that the march of intellect has considerably reduced this numerous staff; at all events it may be, that the immortal CAVE— the never- dying SYLVANUS— might, upon the occasion to which we refer, have himself been stricken with the extreme absur- dity of fulminating all the power of the law against men in the parish of St. Andrew, for doing precisely what their betters— nay ! their Monarch— was doing openly in the parish of St. James, and have brought into juxta- position the details of the splendid pastime of the Palace, with the simul- taneous seizure of the culprits of Gray's- Inn- walks, together with a list of the regular dependants upon such an establish- ment in lower life, in order to exhibit in his days— what we feel most decidedly to exist in ours— an extravagant inconsis- tency in the mode of looking at immoralities, and punishing vices. MR. TAPPS took the oaths and his seat on Friday in the House of Commons. The attentions of Mr. SPRING RICE to his Richmond friend were very marked. THE discord, the strange and painful revulsion in our in- stitutions, which have occupied the public mind during the last five years, have entirely taken away the calmness which England has ever exercised in the judgment of her Foreign relations. It is, however, a subject which can never be irre- levant or mal- a- propos. England, that has so long held the thunderbolt of power, with relation to external politics— despite of any intestinal urgency of her own— is now placed in a most extraordinary and dangerous position ; the mania which agitated its people for a chimerical reform, has placed the executive power in the hands of successive Ministers, which ( we will suppose from perverted judgment), unless the antidote is speedily adminis- tered, must bring its menaces into contempt, and its authority into dispute. Treaties have been slighted— conventions have had the permanency of smoke; and the influence which valour, wisdom, and decision have gained for us, have— like the armies of DARIUS or XERXES under a feeble leader— been thwarted and defeated. The wars, at the conclusion of the last century, and the NAPOLEON thought the most desirable position for attacking England. What has been their policy to Portugal? This— The House of Braganza, which has been for more than a century and a half our care and friend, is compelled to give up its legitimate branch, and to place the daughter of an usurper on its throne. What has been their policy to Spain ? This— Six years of bloodshed and British valour rescued their enchained King, and restored their laws; now are we as- sisting the female, who has thrust herself upon their throne, to conquer the lawful Monarch ! What has been their policy to Turkey ? This— After rescuing Egypt from the grasp of the French, and thus giving the first check to the ambition of the conquer- ing NAPOLEON — when the Pasha of EGYPT raised his standard against the Ottoman Government, and when in their distress they applied for British aid, what was the answer ? This—" Wliy, really Mr. Turk, we are so particularly en- gaged in destroying the liberties of Portugal, that positively we have 110 time to attend to you. You had better give our compliments to Russia, and say we sent you there for help But, seriously, this was the animus, the meaning, of the an- swer ; and, truly, by the assistance of Russian troops, arrange- ments were made, but not until much was ceded to the effective power— the Dardanelles are theirs, and ( shame! shame!) an English man- of- war, instead of blowing their fort about their ears, is compelled to sneak in as a private gentle- man's pleasure yacht. All this rash interference with our faithful allies, this unjust revolution of their laws and institutions, for what has it been attempted ? what is there to justify it ? Nothing ! Have there been any grievances placed upon, us that self- defence or honour compels us to oppose and thwart ? No ! Have the Crowns of Spain and Portugal deviated from their channel at the wish of the people ? Clearly not! or why could they not effect it without our intervention ? The conduct of the Ministry cannot be interpreted by the laws of justice or faith ; it has been the guidance of incapacity and imbecility that has effected so much against the glory of our nation— the conse- quences cannot be long dormant— absolutely the creatures of France— surely, soon they will be entitled to a pension for their services to that people and their miserable KING. But let the hour of danger approach, and then, alas! how shall we find ourselves placed? Dependence upon a kingdom for 400 years at war with us, as France has been, is absurd. Will Portugal, Spain, or Holland assist us ? The three powers of Russia, Austria, aud Prussia may ( and it requires no very great stretch of imagination) find cause of quarrel with us, and where then are we to look for aid ? Where, indeed ? The contingency is absolutely awful. And are our Indian possessions in an enviable position ? We already, in perspec- tive, see the Russian fleet in the Persian gulph— and are the shores of the Indus, the prize of Hindostan, not worth con- tending for ? To sum up the whole, in the few short years of Whig Go- vernment, England has been alienated from effectual assistance, from Spain, Portugal, Holland, and Turkey; three great northern Powers are but ill- affected towards it abroad; it has, at home, been torn to pieces by a " Reform Billits free- men and charters are threatened; its Church is in the grasp of Popery, aud yet Englishmen submit to it ALL. THE Destructives are delighted in having caught Lord LYNDHURS'T in the fact of committing a mistake, the subject being our " Trusty and well- beloved JOSEPH PARKF. S, Esq." Nothing could be more natural: it is not to be supposed that Lord LYNDHURST could know much about the public cha- racter of the " trusty and well- beloved ;" and the whole thing is a feather— not in the caps of the " greasy," Lut in the scale of debate. An individual of the name of JOSEPH PARKES, some years since kept a cheap and nasty coffee- house in— of all places in the world— St. James's- street: Lord LYNDHURST might have mistaken him for the father of the " trusty and well- beloved," and no great wonder. However, the Bir- mingham Advertiser gives us chapter and verse on the subject, and we borrow, in order to lend to our readers, the statement of that well- written and well- couductcd paper, which we sub- mit without an observation, because we are incompetent of ourselves on our own knowledge to make one, being as igno- rant of everything connected with the " trusty and well- beloved" as Lord LYNDHURST is said to be, and as every other Lord— except the Ministers— certainly is. The state- ment is curious:— " The London papers for the last few days past, have been engaged in a warm controversy, as to the nature and degree of Mr. JOSEPH PARKES'S connection with the Birmingham Political Union. It ap- pears that, the Corporation Secretary, and his patrons, the Ministers, are particularly anxious to clear his character from any imputations which his supposed connection with that far- famed but now defunct association might be calculated to fix upon it. Accordingly, the n nimportant inaccuracy committed by Lord LYNDHURST, in designat- ing Mr. PARSES the Secretary, instead of the Adviser of the Union, afforded the Marquess of LANSDOWNE and others, his colleagues, the opportunity of denying, on the part of Mr. PARKES, his occupation of that distinguished official situation ! Here we might have been dis- posed to leave the matter, and admit at once that Lord LYNDHURST was in error; but Mr. PARKES'S subsequent denial of known facts, viz., his notorious connection with the Political Union, as one of its members, aud his previous connection with it as its concealed abettor, induces us to lay the whole facts of the case before the public- facts coming under our own knowledge— and let them be the judget how far he is or is not open to the animadversions to which he and his friends, the Whig Ministers, have exposed themselves. We have it on the authority of a gentleman whose veracity is unimpeachable, that, upon the occasion of Lord LYNDHURST designating Mr. PARKES the Secretary of the Political Union, Lord MELBOURNE repaired to commencement of this, the victories which cost so much life the bar of the House, and, inquiring for Mr. Parkes, requested to be aud expenditure to gain, justly gave us a preponderance in the informed whether there was any truth in Lord LYNDHURST'S accusa- scale of nations, which under a judicious management, would j « on.

August 16. . Our obje t, however, is, not a vituperative artuck upon onr quondam friend, but to show, by indisputable tacts, that not only teas he em- ployed by, and a member of, the Political Union, but that, judging from other collateral circumstances, in some instances, w hile acting with that Lody, he likevvi. se acted in the character of a Government agent. The first instance in which Mr. PARKES publicly appeared in the Council of the Political Union, as a friendly adviser, was 011 the evening of Tuesday, the 22nd of November, 1831. At this time, although he had occasionally contributed to its funds, he was not a member; and, a- s will be seen, he then only came forward to avert, if possible, the threatened embarrassment to his Majesty's Ministers. The subject under discussion was Mr. CHAR. JONES'S celebrated pro- posal for an armed organisation of the Union. On this occasion, Mr. PARSES having been introduced to the Council in a very compl- imentary speech from Mr. ATTWOOD, proceeded to say that " he would make no apology or personal defence for attending the meeting of the Council that evening, although not a member oi the Union. The circumstances of the country, and the Ministry particularly, and the nature of the proposition for organisation now before them, justified any apparent inconsistency in his rising to address them." Mr. P. proceeded to eulogise Political Unions; but said " he could not give any personal attention to such societies, consistent with his profes- sional duties* and further, because as an attorney of the Court of King's Bench, he was arbitrarily subjected to be erased from the rolls of the Courts on the summary " edicts of a Chief Justice, and that without appeal." He then entered into a lengthened legal argument against organisation ; and, after considerable discussion, the scheme - was abandoned. At the conclusion, on the motion of Mr. MUNTZ, " the thanks of the Council were given to Joseph Parkes, Esq., for his liberal conduct towards the Union on that and former occasions, and for his able, laborious, and indefatigable endeavours to promote Parliamentary Reform." . Mr. PARKES, in returning thanks, said— " On any future occasion he would give them his humble professional services gratuitously." This, we think, will be considered a pretty good start in the way of " connection ;" and, considering his previous entire " disconnection with the Union," a very liberal offer of future assistance. We will presently show that Mr. PARKES'S objections to member- ship suddenly took flight, and that he not only became a distinguished Political_ Unionist, but that his preferred services were called into most active and vigorous operation. There is only one point of which his fellow- members complain— they regret most bitterly that his ser- vices were notgiven, as promised, gratuitously; but of that hereafter. It will be recollected that, at this period, Earl GREY'S Administra- tion was in power; but that great difficulty was experienced in ma- naging their Radical adhereuts. The Birmingham Union, on more than one occasion, showed unequivocal symptoms of insubordination, as in the case of the threatened organisation; and to iV'r. PARKES was assigned ( pis aller PARKES, as he was appropriately designated by Mr. COBRETT) the task, not only of calming the troubled waters, when they threatened the deluge of the Whig Government, but like- wise the task of bidding the winds arise when the state ship com- manded by CAPTAIN GREY lay beating on a lee shore. In the spring of 1832, the Reform Bill having passed through the House of Com- mons was introduced into the House of Lords. The measure had notlong been under the discussion of their Lordships before its ulti- mate fate was easily and safely predicted. With the loss ofthe Bill the Ministry of Earl GREY must of necessity lose their places. Another and successful effort at public excitement must therefore be made, and Mr. JOSEPH PARKES was again found as the ministerial stirring- stick of the Political Unionists of Birmingham. On Monday, May 7th, the " Grand Reform Meeting," called by the Council of the Birming- ham Political Union, took place upon Newliall Hill. Mr. PARKES accompanied the Council from their Rooms in Great Charles- street to the place of meeting, and proposed the 4tli resolution, " praying for an increase of the Peerage to ensure the passing of the Reform Bill;" and above all, the meeting prayed his Majet-. y, whatever the fate of the Bill might be, not to allow the resignation of his patriotic Ministers. It was at this celebrated meeting ofthe Political Union- ists of the Midland Districts, ( stated to be 100.0( 10 in number !) that the following resolution was adopted:—" That your petitioners iind it declared in the Bill of Rights, that the people of England may have arms for their defence, suitable to their condition and as allowed by law, and that your petitioners apprehend that this great right will be put in force generally, and the whole people of England will think it necessary to have arms for their defence, in order that they may be prepared for any circumstances which may arise." To this resolution, and to the whole proceedings of this revolutionary meeting, Mr. JOSEPH PARKES, although then not a member ofthe Political Union, was a particeps criminis. Up to this time he had not, from motives of policy, joined the Union; but while disavow- ing connexion by membership, he did not hesitate to be employed by the Newliall- hill legistator. s in framing petitions, or drawing re- solutions, when he hoped by their efforts to secure the ascendancy of his Whig employers. On the night of the same day that this meeting was held, Lord LYMMTURST'S motion for the postponement of the question of dis- franchisement was carried by a majority of thirty- five; and on the . following day Lord GREY and his Government resigned. This was ti sad blowto the aspiring hopes of Mr. PARKES ; bntas the old proverb says, the harder yon throw the ball the stronger will it rebound. So'it proved; the overthrow of his friends was the signal for Mr. PARKES throwing overboard his scruples— there was no longer any re- . luctance on the ground of his professional avocations being inconsist- ent with the membership of a Political Union— no longer any fear of the mandatory edicts ofthe Lord Chief . Justice of the King's'Bench! On Thursday mornine-, the 10th of May, in a speech from, the table • of the news- room, he boldly avowed himself a member ofthe Birming- ham Political Union ! We have, fortunately, in our possession, a copy of the following declaration issued 011 that day:—" We, the undersigned, inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Bir- mingham, who have hitherto refrained from joining the Politic;',! Union, deem it our duty to our country, at this awful crisis, to come forward and join that body for the purpose of promoting the further union, order, and determination of all classes in support of the com- mon cause of Parliamentary Reform." The first signature to this public declaration of adhesi(- n to the Political Union is, " the trusty and well- beloved" jOSEPH PARKES, Solicitor; and in his train follow the names of W. REDFEP. N, B. KEDIEKN, F. HILL, of Hazlewood School, J. B. DAVIS, M. D. H. BOTFIELD THOMASON, T. TYNDALL, Solicitor, < fcc. & c. The same day Mr. PARKES attended as a member a public meeting of the Union at Newhall f Jill, and in a short speech ' uttered the following sentiments:—" He fully concurred in tin- peti- tion. ( The petition threatened resistance by force.) The extraordi- nary exhibition which that immense assembly presented, combined with the resignation of the Government, would nerve him to more zealous and determined exertions. He would only add, that if the laws of the country were broken for the purpose of aiding the efforts of their enemies, the laws might be broken for the purpose of supporting mid protecting the rights of the people."' At this meeting it was like- wise recommended that there should be a general run upon the SAVINGS BANKS! Not only, however, was Mr. Parkes a party by MEMBERSHIP, by ASSOCIATION, and by ACTUAL CONSENT to the proceed- ings of this meeting, but he was one ofthe deputation appointed to pro- ceed to London, as fur as possible to carry into effect the infamous and treasonable resolutions then adopted. The deputation consisted of JOSHUA SCHOLEFIELD, JOSEPH PAIIKES, and JOHN GREEN, Esqrs., who • were directed forthwith to deliver the petition to DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq., and to " report to the Council of the Political I nion as soon as possible." The deputation did repair to- London. The events which occurred between the resignation of Earl GREY and his return to office must be fresh in the memory of our readers. On the morning of May the 15th Mr. PARKES arrived 111 Birmingham with the intelligence of Earl G REY'S restoration— the same day Air. PARKES, decorated with the insignia ofthe Union, attended anoiher meeting at Newhall Hill— and the same night again returned to London, as one of another Deputation from the Political Union; but the precise nature ofthe instructions with which he was furnished we know not. We can, however, speak ofthe ACTS of the deputation when in London. Its members were chiefly engaged in feasting at the Old Hummums; - with the LORDMAYOR, Lord DURHAM, and Mr. E. ELLICE— the for- mer nobleman but recently retired from the Cabinet; and the latter gentleman upon the eve of entering it. For the frolics ofthe deputa- tion in London the Political _ Union suffered to the tune of some hundreds, never to this day satisfactorily accounted for. Subscriptions were paid to a certain gentleman which never found their way into the coffers of the treasurer to the Political Union ! We hope we have proved by this simple recital of facts that Mr. PARKES was connected with the Political Union; and that he was " employed'' by that bodv in forwarding its revolutionary projects, botii before and after his acknowledged adhesion as a member.' In conclusion, w- e cannot but remark that Lord MELBOURNE exhi- bits ' an affectation of ignorance when he ' solicit'! information from Mr. PARKES, as to his alleged connexion with the Union, marvellously | inconsistent with that spirit of - candour aud manly ingenuousness of character for which the world has hitherto given him credit. His Lord- : ship, holding the office he did in 1832, cannot be ignorant ofthe fact that Mr. PARKES was in constant communication with the Government on the subject ofth" Birmingham Political Union. That factis notorious, and we have it in proof before our eyes at the present moment that the communications from the Political Union Deputation in Loudon, in May, 1832, were sent down to Birmingham under cover from the Home Office.' A note from an influential member of that deputation to a gentleman in Birmingham, at that time interested in its pro- ceedings, is now on our table. 11 is dated London, May 24, 1832, and in reference to the proceedings of the deputation in" London, the deputy adds in a postscript " fFe shall send you dozen the rejmrts • under a large cover from the Home Office1." We now h ave to the m^ rejudiced reader to say how far the " well beloved" JOSEPH PARKKSIS entitled to be deemed " trusty" or trust- worthy; how far the avowed and acknowledged legal adviser ofthe Birmingham Political Union, JOSEPH PARKES, is authorized to claim credit on the score ofconMnon veracity. Lord LANSDOWNE and ford MELBOURNE know, and so do we, that JOSEPH PARKES denied lfliving been employed by, or being a mem- ber of, the Birmingham Political Union; the facts we have stated above, aud which we ar| prepared to substantiate, warrant us in declaring most unres-' tyiflly and emphatically, that JOSEPH PARKES, Solicitor, formerly of Birmingham, and lately, and even still, Secre- tary to the CommissiojifclWE will not disgrace the kingly office by coupling his Majesty& Bttme with the word) for inquiring into the state of Municipal C& Joratians, has had the audacity to perpetrate openly a direct." willta? iitid abominable FALSEHOOD! IFJR* FVN A TAIL UNFOLD." gtSf* SPENSER, in Mf^' Faery Queen," before recounting a deadly com- bat between tbkrjR - Kslroese Knight and the Dragon, gives such a description of tWflail of the latter as makes it evident, that although this fierce and c& nniu. g monster was a personification of Popery in the abstract, yet ffialjfce verses had a prophetic regard to its ( Hi bernian) champion^ offifhe present day, and also ( as we may hope) to the final overthrow " hSp destined to sustain from the aroused spirit of Protestant Englaindyrepresented by the Red Crosse Knight. " His huge lri\\ 3jZaile, wound up in hundred foldes, Does overJ- Jp'ad his wide bra s * scaly back, Whose wreaipd boughtes, whenever he unfoldes, And thick pitangled knotst adown does slack, Bespotte i with shieldes of red and black ; J It sweepeth B1 the land behind him farre, And of liirye furlongs does but little lack ! And a t tho lyitnt two stings § infixed arre, Both deadly pharp, that sharpest steel exceeden farre. BLACKWOOD, in reviewing this canto, thus writes fprobably allud- ing to the late defeats of the Protestant party by the Irish Dragon in the House of Commons):—" But lo ! they encounter, and the horse and his rider are overthrown— what could they less ?— by him who with his tail had swept three parts of the stars from heaven. j| ' But the Knight had not been thrown from his saddle, for Both horse and man up lightly rose again,' and renewed the combat.— The force of his celestial sword ( i. e. the late speeches of Sir R. PEEL and the Conservatives), though yet it pierced not those scaly folds, astounded the Dragon." " For never felt his iinperceable breast So wond'rous force from hand of living wight, Vet had he proved the power of many a puissant knight." BLACKWOOD continues—" The Red Cross then wounds his anta- gonist, but by a stroke of that ' writhing tail is unhorsed." Surely this " stroke " must mean the " resolutions " carried by the Radico- Papal tail, which unseated Sir ROBERT PEEL from the Treasury Bench, The prophecy in the remainder of the canto becomes future, but the country, from one end to the other, is giving signs of its ultimate fulfilment, and that the Red Crosse of Protestantism WILL triumph over the Dragon of Popery as thus predicted; for— " Inflam'd WFTTI wrath, his raging blade he hefte, And stcpoke so strongly, that the knotty string Of his huge Taite lie quite usonder clefte, The joints thereof he hewd,. and but the stump liimlefte. Hart cannot think what outrage and what cries, With fowle enfouldered sinoake and flashing lire, The hell- bred beast threw forth unto the skies, That 11 was covered with darkness dire." But the Red Crosse now deals the Dragon his death- wound:— " So downe he fell, and forth his life did breathe, That vanisht into smoake and cloudes swift. ****** Then all the people as in solemne feast, Rejoicing at the fall of that great beast From whose oppressive bondage now they were releast, Fresh laurell branches gaily bore in h ind, Glad sign of victory, and peace in all their land." C. C. E. * ". Brass."— We all know the large portion of brass in the com- position of the Papal champion. t " Entangled knits."— The Tail has frequently been in a sad tangle. Lord MELBOURNE had much difficulty in untwisting and smoothing it down before he could take office. j " lied anil black."— This hints at the deeds of blood and darkness in Ireland, said to have been instigated by " some of the " Death's head and Cross- bone" party chiefly composing " the Tail." § " Two stings."— Probably these two stings are the repeal of the Union, and the destruction of' Protestantism in Ireland, the two most deadly projects ofthe Papal party. || This must allude to the Hibernian haying formerly instigated thatsweeping measure by which so many frish Bishoprics were ex- tinguished. Cries."— This seems to be a cut at the uproar and vociferation now practised by the Radical party in the House of Commons. IT is clear that strong language within the walls of Parlia- ment induces its adoption without. It is not ten days since that we heard the waterman— as the attendant on hackney- coacli stands is called, because lie never leaves the laud—- severely reprimanding a turbulent Jarvey, whose tongue was running a race with his wits, arid was evidently far a- liead, in these terms—" Come, JIM II ABBOT, none o' your nonsense— it's all wery well for them as is in the House of Commons to use that ere kind of language, but it von't do here." We merely quote the following " strong language " from the Dublin Warder, to illustrate our position:—• Every day— every moment adds to the deep and stirring interest of the times. The revolutionary faction is advancing with tearful rapi- dity to the last boundary of a desperate ambition. All laws, human and divine, are scoffed at— all compacts, sacred by prescription and cementing the salutary bonds of society, are treated as waste paper, " old almanacks," and the idle creations of dreaming folly— ancl all this is done, we must acknowledge, by a suitable agency. Who is fitter to preside over and lead so" unhallowed a combination as he who violates and tramples upon the table of the Ten Com- mandments ?— and here we must not speak in the singular num- ber. The bower- down to graven images ; the maker to himself of many gods, and the believer in none ; the peijurer who takes the name of God in vain; the sinful reveller on the Sabbath commanded to be kept holy; the wretch who never honoured hispa- rents, nor set honourable example to his children; he who has mur- dered not only with his own hand, but by the agency of a hell- inspired excitement, has covered his. country with blood; he, the adulterer, whose sin and shame are 011 the" records of public justice ; he who would not commit theft in its petty larceny extent, yet would rob thousands by the tyranny of unjust laws; he who, to political objects and personal ambition, bears false witness against his neigh- bour and against truth, and he who covets not only his neighbour's wife, but every " thing that is his." This is the veracious description of those predicate and infidel men who hold our gracious SOVEREIGN under constraint) are seeking to extinguish religious. truth in the land, trampling upon the civil rights of the KING'S subjects, and goading the country into the horrors and calamines of civil war ! God reward them according to their works! Those national deliberations, once distinguished by dignity of manners, reverence for religious truth, and a careful anxiety for the long- tried and hallowed institutions of the State, present now the revolting characteristics of the vulgar coarseness and indecency of the lowest grades of society, with the unrestrained passions of the worst. When O'CONNELL and the other representatives of the blackguards of Ireland were admitted within the walls of Parlia- ment, the genius of civilization and gentlemanly courtesy fled affrighted from the barbarian pollution, and in it are now predomi- nant the vulgarity of the Corn- Exchange, and the fierce passions of the French Convention ofthe first revolution. In one house we. see a titled parvenu, the advocate of democracy, exhibiting such reckless indecency of speech and manners as would justify the belief, that he sought the peerage but for the purpose of degrading and bringing it into contempt with the people, and whose conduct can find 110 refuge from that imputation but in the too great indulgence ofthe brandy- bottle. Another is distinguished by better manners and cooler insolence, but more criminal, because betraying to a fac- tion, and his own questionable power, that royal trust from which the former has been excluded. Shall we descend to a lower region of senatorial degeneracy? No, we have already described it, although but faintly— the bear- garden of reformed legislation best describes itself. We, however, trust that the extremity of the evil is near to cure itself, and that the British Senate will once more be what becomes the character of the nation. OUR readers will doubtless remember the circumstances to which the following article from the Dublin Evening Mail refers. We make but one observation upon the case, which is, that we cannot yet believe that Lord MORPETH knew that he was wholly and entirely mis- stating facts which had occurred, and were notorious; not only because we cannot imagine that a Nobleman of his Lordship's standing in society would for any consideration allow that which was not true, but because we give his Lordship credit for much more ability and tact than would be displayed in stating what was not true, with the certainty of being authoritatively contradicted and exposed. We attribute the mishap to his Lordship's entire ignorance of the real state of the case, upon which plea, he alone can escape a charge of entire misrepresen- tation :— It will be recollected that on the 21th day of July last past, Sir ROBERT BATESON did make the following statement to the House of Commons, and ask the following question:— Speaking with reference to the liberation of some persons who had been tried at the Londonderry Assizes, and found guilty of assault and riot, Sir ROBERT BATESON pronounced:—" Tnese" men were sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and it now appeared that in consequence of a petition which had been presented by the lady of the present Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, they were liberated before the expiration of their sentence. Now, as it was very unusual to liberate prisoners who had been confined under sentence of the Court, without consulting the Judge who tried them, he ( Sir R. B.) was desirous of knowing whether or not in this case the Judge had been consulted ?" To this Lord . MORPETH, the Secretary of State for freland, replied— " The state of the case is this— six Protestants and six Catholics were tried and convicted at the Londonderry Assizes, of a riot. The Pro- testants were sentenced, some to three months'— some to two months' imprisonment. The whole of the Jury, eleven of whom were Pro- testants, SIGNED A PETITION TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT, not to his lady, for a mitigation of the sentence of the six Catholics, and under all the circumstances the Lord Lieutenant considered it his duty to comply with the prayer of the petition, and to remit the remainder of the sentence. Witt respect to what the Honourable Baronet had said as to Lady MULGRAVF, he ( Lord MORPKTH) was aware that some unfounded observations had been put forth in some of the Dublin newspapers on this subject; but the bare fact was, that Lady MUL- GRAVE did not disdain to send a charitable letter to the wife of one of tlis prisoners, in replv to one written to herself."— Vide Dublin Evening Mail, July 27, 1834. Will it be credited that this official statement of the Secretary of State for Ireland is a total misrepresentation of the principal fact in question, namely— the interference on which the prisoners were libe- rated. Neither*" the whole of the Jury," nor any one of them, ever sighed or jrresented a petition to the Lord Lieutenant " for a mitigation of sentence on the six Catholics ;" and they are even highly indignant that they should be thought capable oi stultifying themselves by such an act. The following is an account of what took place in the Court- house of Londonderry, before Baron PENNEPATHER, during the Assizes just now terminated:— " Eight of the Jurors attended in the Crown Court on Thursday last, and Mr. ROBERT MILLS, one of the Jurors, stood forward and ad- dressed his Lordship to the following effect:— " My Lord, a statement has gone abroad that the Jurors who tried a certain case at the last Assizes, signed a petition, praying for a mitigation of punishment for one party. As one, I declare that I never signed any such document; and several of my brother Jurors are present, eight in all, to make the same declaration. The other four are in the country, but will, we have 110 doubt, declare as we do, to- morrow. We have here, my Lord, drawn up, a statement to this effect, which we request your Lordship will have the goodness to forward to his Majesty's Government. We are utterly incapable, my Lord, of stultifying ourselves by such an act as is attributed to us." " His Lordship said he should certainly comply with their request; but, as it was better that all the Jurors should sign the document before he took charge of it, he should leave it with them till the next day. There was, he said, another individual also who lay under the imputation, or calumny, he would call it, of having signed the me- morial to the Lord Lieutenant. He wished that he, too, wouid then come forward and release himself from it. His Lordship added that he could not conceive any thing more injurious to the due adminis- tration of justice than that misrepresentations should be circulated respecting what Jurors or persons in a court of justice did. It was most mischievous. " The whole ofthe Jury have since signed the document, and en- trusted it to Baron PENNEFATHER." We subjoin the names of the Jurors, and the concluding remark of the Londonderry Sentinel, from whose columns we have extracted the foregoing:— " WILLIAM BUCHANAN, MINCHIN LLOYD, ROBERT MILLS, JOHN ALLEN, EZEKIEL BREDIN, JAMES REED, WILLIAM M'CORKELL, ALEXANDER LINDSAY, WILLIAM MORROW, JOHN MACKY, WILLIAM DOHERTY, ROBERT CHRISTIE SHAW. Seven of these gentlemen did sign a memorial in favour of William M'LAUGHLIN, one of the indi- viduals condemned to six months' imprisonment; but the reason was one which makes the act creditable to them— he was the sole support of a widowed mother." We leave this affair for Lord MORPETH'S explanation. Lord MELBOURNE, on his last legs— neglected by the SOVEREIGN— laughed at by the people— with all the disagreeable warnings of age pressing upon the feelings of youth, is delighted to catch at anything to cheer himself and his unfortunate colleagues, and nothing has delighted him so much lately— for he has had a good deal to vex him — as the Manchester petition in favour of the iniquitous Municipal Corporations Bill. We merely give the following history of the peti tion from Manchester itself:— " The meeting ' spontaneously held' on Wednesday, was one of those ' hole and corner' proceedings which Whigs and Liberals pro- fess to hold in great contempt. It consisted, we are informed, of four persons, namely, the Chairman, Mr. GEORGE IIADFIELD, Dr. JOHNS, and Mr. ARCHIBALD PRENTICE ! Remembering, however, the re- sult of their last public meeting, their discomfiture in Stevenson's- square— we are not surprised at these Liberals preferring a less os- tentatious mode of expressing their opinions. Their petition to the House of Lords being, no doubt, unanimously adopted, on Thursday, active measures were taken to obtain signatures. Tables were placed in the streets in various parts of the town, to attract, at- tention, and every sort of trickery was employed to procure names. The result of the day's labours has been stated to us to be twenty- three thousand names; but we very much doubt the truth of this statement. Our readers may judge from what we are about to state, how far this petition ought to be considered the expression of public opinion in Manchester. An immense number, we should probably n August 2.9J JOHN BULL. 260 be right in saying thousands, of the signatures are those of mere chil- stances of the same persons signing their own nameis three, four, five, or six times. A man in Salford, known to our informant, signed seven times. A man who could not write, had his name signed for him nine times : and a man was seen at Air. Potter's office, to sign the names of six persons. An old woman, in St. George's- road, having announced herself ' as good a Catholic as any in the world,' requested that her husband's name, and those of five or six others, should be affixed to the petition ! To show how little the people in general who signed the petition knew of its contents, it is only necessary to state that on being asked what was the object of the petition, many declared that they did not know ; others said that ' it was something about Reform.' The men in charge of the peti- tion told those whom they had persuaded to write their names, that they ' were signing for every man to have a vote!' We imagine we have said enough to show the value of the petition from Manchester in favour of the Corporation Reform Bill. " The truth is, the respectable part of the inhabitants, Whigs as well as Tories, regard the measure with aversion; and even the Radicals consider it, in its- present state, inapplicable to Manchester. That such is really the opinion of the latter party, will be seen from our report of the proceedings of the Police Commissioners, on the very day on which the hole and corner gentry determined to petition m favour ofit. Mr. G. H. WINDER, a Radical, had given notice that Heshould move'that' this meeting take into consideration the provisions of the Corporations Bill now before Parliament, and determine whether the Commissioners of Police shall petition that Manchester shall be included, or that some specific clauses be introduced into the Bill to render it applicable to Manchester.' And what does Mr. WINDER do? Does he point out to the meeting the various advantages which the town would derive from tlie operation of the measure ? Does he attempt to show the superiority of the proposed system to our present one? Oh, no! Mr. WINDER tells the meeting, that since he gave notice ot his motion. ' he had care- fully looked over the Corporation Bill; and though he saw much in the principle of it which would recommend it to the consideration of the meeting, and the adoption of the town, yet he found that its pro- visions were not at all applicable to Manchester, and that the intro duction of clauses to render it applicable to Manchester, would dis- arrange the whole Bill— he should therefore withdraw his mo- tion !!!' Not a. single Commissioner, it appears, took up the cause of the rejected Bill; and the meeting separated, fully persuaded that it is not applicable to Manchester. We leave the public to judge, from this circumstance, how much the desire to preserve the Corpo- ration Bill ' unmutilated,' entered into the consideration of those who have petitioned the House of Lords on the subject." In addition to the marriages which we announced last week, we hare now to state that the Earl of BRECKNOCK is to marry the eldest daughter of the Lord Bishop of ROCHESTER, and that Mr. BRAND is to be united to the only daughter of the Countess of CRAVEN. The journeymen bakers have " struck." Large supplies of Scotch- men are being imported to supply their places. Somebody telling Mr. BUXTON that the prospect was gloomy, and the remedy abso- lutely necessary, the wag replied—" As bread is needed ( kneaded), lakers must be had who need it. The Brighton Gazette says " We have the pleasure to learn from Portsmouth, in confirmation of our last week's statement, that the registration in that neighbour- hood, which had been much neglected, has added very many to the good cause, who before were lukewarm, but now are awakened to a sense of their dutv. In consequence the present Conservative County Members will be sure of re- election; and it is very doubtful if either of the borough Radical Members will be again returned ; ONE will assuredly fail. Admiral Sir GEORGE COCKBURN and Sir 3HARI. ES ROWLEY are the Conservative candidates. The following is from a Brest paper:—" Some days ago, two ( hildren were on the point of being drowned under Porstrein. The line could swim, but the other not being able to do so, clung in such a way to his companion as to prevent him from using his limbs. They iotli went down once, and were going down a second, and probably list time, when Mr. PERRIER, British Consul, happening to pass by the spot, lost no time in throwing himself into the water, which he did without taking off his clothes. He was compelled, however, to dive several times, and at length succeeded in bringing up both the boys, whose lives were thus preserved." We see that the miscellaneous and dramatic library of the lamented MATHEWS is advertised for sale on Wednesday next, and four follow- ing days, together with a vast collection of valuable engravings, autograph letters, and a rare collection of theatrical relics, at Mr. SOTHEBY'S rooms, in Wellington- street. There never was a man more zealously, we may say chivalrously, attached to the profession of which he was an ornament, than MATHEWS. The constant object of his life was not only to advance its interests in a worldly sense, but to establish and maintain its character and respectability, himself most honourably setting the example. To this feeling is attributable the expense of pains and means upon the curious collections, both of pictures and prints, which he formed during a period of many years. His books are principally theatrical, but of the most interesting and valuable character. The engravings comprise, among hundreds of others, all the portraits of GARRICK ever published— in short, to the lovers of the drama, the dispersion of these treasures affords an admirable op- portunity of securing various objects of importance and interest, of which they will not fail to avail themselves. The celebrated col- lection of pictures which filled his gallery at Highgate has been pur- chased entire, by the Garrick Club. We have read with great pleasure the Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry, edited by Lady DACRE— they are full of feeling and cha- racter, and exhibit not only the skill of a first- rate writer, but the most perfect knowledge of the world and society.— Mrs. TROLLOPE, we perceive, is about to enliven us with a comic novel, called Tre- mordyn Cliff. Anything light and lively in these days of bright sun- shine and warm discussion, will be " most thankfully received." All the learning, talent, wisdom, erudition, research, and every thing else in the empire, has arrived in Dublin. What is fancifully called The British Association has met there, to compliment each other about nothing, to talk a great deal, each about himself, to bother the heads of the women with lectures upon subjects with which they have nothing to do, and enliven their hearts with dances at which the professors have nothing to say. Looking over the list of the names of the people exported to the Irish metropolis, the thing becomes perfectly ridiculous, and we think a detailed account of the proceedings of the learned body will, when it dissolves, afford much more amusement than the meeting itself. We hear the thing is a complete failure, as might be expected. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS arrived at Orleans on the 11th; they are about to remain there a month. In the Chamber of Representatives at Brussels, it was proposed by Ministers that two universities, one at Ghent and another at Liege, should be establish- ed for Belgium. An amendment was moved that one university at Louvain was sufficient; but the original proposition was carried by a majority of 36 to 33. On this the Journal du Commerce d'Anvers of the 13th observes—" It is easy to divine the motives of this de- cision. The clergy wish to reserve the city of Louvain, to transfer thither the Catholic University, which, by the grace of God and of the revolution, will be one day the only university of pious Belgium." The fojlowing is from Corfu, dated the 12th of July:— " Captain PETZARISCH, commanding an Austrian vessel, who arrived here this morning from Duruzzo and Cape Rodone brings the Mowing interesting news;— On the 24th of June, the revolted Arnauts, whose number is stated ( probably much too high) at twenty thousand, advanced from the mountains towards Scutari, to attack the citadel, in which the PACHA, with about 3,5U0 men was besieged. " The action that ensued, in which the loss on both sides is stated at 1,500, ended indeed according to the captain, to the advantage of the PACHA, the Arnauts, being repulsed ; but, being totally destitute of provisions and ammunition, he was forced on the 6th July to send a flag of truce to the camp of the rebels, to negotiate the proposal that the PACHA should be free to quit Scutari and go to Constantinople without molestation. This being refused, the PACHA, reduced to extremity, attacked the rebels sword in hand, and is said to have been defeated! When Captain PETZARISCH left Cape Rodone, which was only three days ago, it was thought that the PACHA must immediately surrender, as he had been for some days without ammunition and provisions, his troops subsisting only on horseflesh. The rebel Arnauts, who had assembled to the number of 5,000 men along the coast where Capt. P. was at anchor, summoned him to give up to them 136 cwt. of gunpowder which he had on board ; and, as he po- sitively refused, he was forced to sail immediately." We are glad to perceive that Messrs. ROAKE and VARTY have pub- lished a second edition of the splendid speeches of Sir ROBERT PEEL, delivered during his Administration, with a portrait of the Right Hon. Baronet prefixed. There is a comet in the Heavens— there is a star in Huntingdon— hear the account " The Theatre opened on Monday evening with Home's tragedy of Douglas. This piece seems to have been selected for the purpose of introducing a young lady on these boards whose precocious talent has already gained Sir her considerable applause. Her name is REEVE, the daughter of one of the performers of the company, and she is not more than 12 years of age. She took the part of Young Norval, and sustained the character with a degree of correctness and judgmentwhich we could scarcely have supposed could be attained by one so young. Her voice has a power and compass beyond her age, and enables her to give sufficient effect to the lofty tone of impassion- ed eloquence and bravery which the personation " requires. We think she cannot fail of being a favourite with all who witness her perform- ance, if she enter upon her other characters with the same earnest- ness and zeal she displayed in this. Mrs. W. ROBERTSON, as Lady Randolph, lost none of the applause which here she always obtains— and obtains justly. Glenalvon found an excellent repre- sentative in Mr. LEICESTER, and Old Norval in Mr. SHIELD. The theatre was pretty well filled on Tuesday evening to witness the comedy of Married Life, and the other piece of Charles 12th. Mr. DAVIDSON supplies the place of Mr. COMTTON in comic characters and singing, and though very respectable in both, we have too vivid a recollection of onr old favourite, and perhaps a little of partiality too, to think of yielding the preference to the new claimant. To- night ( Friday) the performance is the bespeak of Colonel PEEL and Sir FRE- DERICK POLLOCK, the Members for the borough. The pieces selected are The Belle's Stratagem aud The Spoiled Child— Miss REEVE taking the part of Little Pickle in the latter." — Douglas was written by one HOME, not HORNE— n'importe, the young lady is what they call a girl of promise— it seems that she per- forms, as well as promises, which young gentlemen do not always do. What her Christian name may be we cannot surmise— they call her a second Betty ! The following letter was publicly read by a gentleman ( Mr. C. GURNEY), an elector for the county, at a late Conservative meeting in Devonshire :— " Mrs. — " May 2. _ " Some days since I wrote to your son- in- law, W- , to ask his vote for Lord J. RUSSELL, the farmer's true friend. He told me that he must vote for Mr. PARKER. NOW I should think you can make that influence over him to vote for Lord J. RUSSELL. If you do not, depend on it that Mr. will take that opportunity over you, and turn you out of his estate : he made use of Mr. ' s name to me, but what is Mr. ' s motive but for keeping up tithes and taxation ? " And Madam, for , " Your obedient servant, —." The following, from the Dublin Evening Mail, is very well worth the consideration of our Protestant countrymen :— ft appears that a Father PRENDERGAST, Roman Catholic Chaplain of the county gaol of Waterford, preferred charges against the Go- vernor of the ganl. These charges were investigated before HENRY VILLIERS STUART, Esq., Governor of the County, GEORGE PIERSE BARRON, High Sheriff, and Mr. DENNEHY, his deputy—( the former being a liberal, and the two latter being Roman Catholics). The result was a full and honourable acquittance of Mr. BRUCE. Subse- quently a Government inquiry was " held, with the same effect. But the High Sheriff, at the last Assizes, complaining to the Grand Jury that the gaol was in a state of insubordination, in consequence of PRENDERGAST'S conduct, the latter was dismissed from the Chap- laincy, and the priest of the parish in which the prison is situate ap- pointed in his stead. Though there were nine Roman Catholics on the Grand Jury, there was but. one disentient; and his objection was not to the dismissal of the priest, but. to some point of form. Now, the law of the land expressly gives the riffht of appointing Chaplains to the Grand Jury. The usurping Bishop of Rome sets himself above the law, and arrogates the right. The following cir- cular will tell the sequel:— CIRCULAR TO THE GENTLEMEN WHO COMPOSED THE LAST GRAND JURY FOR THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD. ( Copy.) " Sir,— I herewith send you a copy of a letter addressed to me ( as Foreman of the last Grand Jury for this county) by the Roman Ca- tholic Bishop of Waterford. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " Clashmore, Aug. Ist, 1835. - " ROBERT POWER. " To , Esq." ( Copy.) " Clonmel, July 28, 1835. " Sir,— I never was more astonished than on receiving a document purporting to be a decree of the county of Waterford Grand Jury, passed at the last Assizes— a decree as slovenly in its verbiage as it was arrogant in its conception. This conduct might well become the mild meridian of Elizabeth's reign, but certainly ill accords with the vaunted liberality of modern jurists. What! a box of laymen to usurp the patronage of a Catholic Bishop ! I can scarcely believe it. But to guard against the possibility of an infringement of my rights, I now tell you, as foreman of that said Grand Jury, that no other priest but the Rev. Mr. Prendergast shall dare officiate as chaplain of the county gaol, and this you may publish from the highest to the lowest places. What right bad the Grand Jury to dispose of my sub- jects in the fullness of their wisdom ? and this without a single ap- peal to the proper authority. The world shall see, by the result of this very affair, not only the usurping propensity of that said Jury, but also its impotence in ecclesiastical affairs. I mean nothing per- sonal in this address, but really I can with difficulty restrain my feelings on such a subject, and in such times as these. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, + W. ABRAHAM." Arrogance and insubordination can carry their heads no higher, except it be under a helmet; nor lay their hands more audaciously upon the things belonging to Caesar, unless armed with the sword. For, what shall we think of this episcopal letter ? Is it a piece of wanton insolence against the Grand Jury, or the individuals com- posing it? No such thing. It is a formal denial of law authority ? a premeditated rejection of the right and power of Parliament to impose laws upon the " subjects" of the Church of Rome; a know- ing and bold defiance of the sovereignty of these realms; and a pro clamation that the laws of Rome are the only laws which the priests of this country and their " subjects" recognise. " My subjects," quoth the usurping Prelate—" the proper authority," quoth the ram- pant hierarch. The power which Parliament has conferred is a usurped power; the result of this affair shall prove its impotence against the Church of Rome! After the perusal of this letter, and a cool consideration of all the facts, the question which the whole transaction raises, is this:— Who is the Sovereign of these realms ?— Is it the King of Great Britain and Ireland ?— or the Pope of Rome ? He to whose laws obedience is given is the ruler of a people. Whose laws then are to be acknowledgedin Ireland? Father ABRA- HAM says, " The Pope's," and, we believe, Father ABRAHAM speaks the mind of his titular brethren. Lord AUCKLAND, it is expected, will embark about the middle of the next month, so as to arrive in Bengal in the month of January next. Sir CHARLES METCALFE, Bart., the Governor of the new Pre- sidency of Allahabad, was recalled to Calcutta to take the reins ol me supreme Government, on the departure of Lord WILLI AM BENTINCK. Sir CHARLES left his Government in the hands of Mr. BLUNT, who was about to proceed on a special mission to Lucknow.— We would advise Lord AUCKLAND to make the best of his way out, or the chances are that his dear friends and colleagues will be out before him.

A subscription is in progress amongst the inhabitants of Trinity parish, Coventry, to present their respected Vicar, the Rev. W. F. HOOK, with a handsome silver epergne and dishes. Nearly 2001. has already been raised for the purpose. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, with the concurrence of his Most Gracious Majesty, has conferred upon the Rev. GEORGE OLIVER, perpetual Curate of Wolverhampton, the degree of Doctor in Divinity. A severe contest is expected to take place for the perpetual Curacy of Biiston, vacant by the removal of Mr. LEIGH, the presentation to which rests in the inhabitants. Three candidates are already in the field, viz., the Rev. R. ROBINSON, lecturer of the Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton; the Rev. G. FISK, of Darlaston; and the Rev. H. S. FLETCHER, Minister of St. Mary's, Biiston. Oh Sunday se'nnight his Grace the Archbishop of YORK held a general Ordination at Bishopthorpe, when twenty- one gentlemen were admitted to the order of Deacons, and twenty- four to that of Priests. Amongst the former were the following:— The Rev. Mr. WALKER, appointed to Lindley; the Rev. Mr. MARSDEN, to Wilsden, the Rev. Mr. GREENWOOD, to Heptonstall; the Rev. Mr. SHORT, to Christ Church, Bradford; and the Rev. Mr. HARTLEY, to Thirsk. NEW CHURCHES— In spite of the desperate efforts now making by Radicalism to pull down our venerable Church, sacred edifices devoted to the worship of God according to thepure doctrines of the Establish- ment arc springing up around and on every side of us, and as they start into existence, may they go on and prosper.— One at Milnthorp, to be commenced immediately; one at Tebay- in Orton, under direction of aCommittee; aChapelatBrathay- by- Clappersgate, near Ambleside, will be let by contract this day; and a neat chapel was recently erected at Sawrey, near Hawkshead. Then in another direction we have a Church building at Bentham, another at Thornton- in- the- Fylde, one at Preston, and another at Ashton near the latter town.— Lancaster Gazette. The Rev. RICHARD DUNFORD, who has recently been appointed to the Rectory of Middleton, Lancashire, has voluntarily given up all claim to funeral dues from St. Mary's Chapel, Birch, in that parish, whereby the dues will be reduced one- half. It is also his intention to promote the building of a Church in Thornham, where it is much wanted, there being neither Church, Chapel, nor school in the whole township. WINDSOR.— The Rev. Mr. CHAPMAN took leave of the congregation at our Church on Sunday eveningin asermon alike remarkable forits eloquence and its powerful appeal to the feelings of his audience. In addition to the subscriptions to present to Mr. CHAPMAN, as a testi- mony of the esteem and affection of the congregation,^ the Rev. Gen- tleman has received from the young ladies of Windsor a most splendid Testament, printed in gold, and superbly bound. The rearing of the new parish Church at Huddersfield was cele- brated on Wednesday evening, and was attended and conducted in a manner interesting and gratifying to all the well- wishers to the work. St. Paul's Church, in which the commemoration service was solemnised, was filled in every corner by an attentive and orderly congregation, composed of all classes of society, and of Christians of every name, two of the places of worship having suspended their weekly lecture on this occasion. It has been observed that almost every individual present deposited his offering willingly in the col- lector's box; and the amount of 841. was raised, nearly half of which was in silver and copper. The anniversary of the Northampton District Committee of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and Society for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, was held on Thursday se'nnight, in the assembly Room of the George Hotel, Northampton. The company began to assemble about eleven o'clock, and shortly afterwards on the entry of the worshipful the Mayor and Corporation, the business of the day commenced. A letter was read from the Mar- quis of NORTHAMPTON, who had been expected topreside atthemeet- ing, stating his Lordship's inability to attend; upon which the Rev. Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, Bart., was unanimously called to the chair. After the usual prayers, the Rev. Dr. BUTLER read the report of the secretary, by which it appeared that, during the last year, ending 30th June, 1835, the issue of books and tracts from the depository had been as follows:— Bibles, 461; Testaments, 449; Prayer Books, 1,078; other books and tracts, 14,274: total, 16,262.— The number of. members of the committee of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, who are also members of the Parent Society, 88; the the number of members of the committee who are not members of the Parent Society, 99, Amount of the income of this District committee, 1581,9s, 262 ' JOHN BULL. August 16. STOC K EXCH AS'GE.— SATURDAY. The position taken np by the House of Peers, and the noble stand they have made against the revolutionary " whole hog" measures « f the levelling Administration by which the country is at present mis- ruled, has had a favourable effect on the Money Market, and Consols, which early in the week were as low as 89% M, closed this afternoon at 89 Jfe, and the Omnium at 2/ s pm., after being at 2H Exchequer Bills are 20 22, and India Bonds 7 to 5. , In our Foreign Market, in consequence of the advices from Mardid announcing the resolution of the Spanish Government to recognise the Republics of the New World, there has been an improvement in the various Transatlantic Securities, Columbian Bonds being at 35%, Cliiliau at 40, and Mexican at 36, this afternoon. Spanish Stock closed at 47; it h is been during the week as low as 45^, and the Scrip has been at 15 dis., but left off at 13 dis. Portuguese Bonds are 89J£. In the Northern Bonds there is little to notice ; Russian Bonds are 109% X ; Dutch Five per Cents, at 102; theTwo- and- a- Half per Cents 54; Danish at 76H 7 ; Belgian 100%. In the Share Market there is nothing to notice. AVe learn by the Paris papers of Thursday that the Peers have pro- nounced sentence on the Lyonese prisoners— against some of them in their absence. Seven were acquitted, the rest sentenced to various periods of imprisonment or transportation. Fresh scenes of tumult and massacre are taking place in various parts of Spain, Murcia, Cordova, & c.— The Messager des C'hambres contains the following : —" Persons ordinarily well- informed state, that commissaries from the Government of Madrid are at this moment at the helid- quarters « f Don Carlos, treating with him for the pacification of the country, by means of reciprocal concessions; which terms are drawn out into lS. articles by M. de Los Amanitas, and are based on a project of marraige." HOUSE OF COMMONS.— SATURDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at twelve o'clock. Lord J. RUSSELL appeared atthe bar, and informed the House that lie held in his hand his Majesty's most gracious answpr to the resolu- tions of that House on the subject of Orange lodges in the army, which had been communicated to his Majesty. His Majesty assured his faithful Commons that he had perused with the greatest attention their resolutions, and that he could assure them that the subject had, and should continue to receive his best and most serious consideration, and that his faithful Commons might rely on his firm determination to adopt those measures that may appear the most effectual to dis- courage such injurious practices, and to prevent the formation of such societies in the army. Mr. BARING brought up the reports on the " Ways and Means," and the Excise Laws, which were agreed to. The ATTOR. YEY- GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill to abolish Imprisonment for Debt. Mr. FRESHFIELD, at considerable length, opposed the Bill. If arrest was abolished, credit, he con- tended, could not be obtained. He also contended that toe change to be effected by the Bill was not necessary, and that it would be no improvement of the law of the land. One of the views of the Bill " was, that it gave a preference to a particular creditor, and all the other creditors were cheated. He intended to move several amend- ments to the Bill, the effect of one of which would be to negative the transfer of the funds from the Insolvent Debtors' Court. The Hon. Member, in conclusion, said that if the Bill passed the third reading, he should certainly move the amendment to which he had alluded, tut in the meantime he should move that the Bill be read a third time that day six months.— Mr. HAWES supported the Bill. The process for obtaining a debt was now both slow and expensive, and he really thought that the public would be anxious for the establishment of an economical and speedy mode of effecting that object.— Col. PERCEVAL said he was disposed to afford every fair and unoppressive facility for the recovery of debts, but the first nine clauses of this Bill were fraught • with cruelty, oppression, and injustice. He thought the Bill was a kind of legal infernal machine—( A laugh)— and he could not bring himself to lend it the slightest countenance.--[ Left sitting.] It is our painful duty to- day to record one of the most afflicting events we ever remember to have happened, and which occurred on Friday morning in the family of ALEXANDER RADCLIFFE SIPEDOT- TOM, Esq., the Barrister, of Lincoln's Inn. The Learned Gentle- man had recently taken possession of a villa, called Mount Pleasant, at Kingsbury, near to which is areservoir connected with the Padding- ton Canal. To this piece of water four of his sons had repaired for the purpose of bathing. Three of them entered the reservoir at the same time, and in a very few minutes disappeared. Their elder Irother, who remained on the bank, plunged in to their assistance, and the whole four unfortunately perished. The age of the youngest is 15, and that of the eldest 21. The distress which this dreadful event has occasioned to the father and mother, the two surviving brothers, and three sisters of the unfortunate youths, may be more easily ima- gined than described.— An inquest on the bodies was held on Friday night by Mr. Sterling, and a respectable Jury, who returned a verdict " That Alexander Henry Sidebottom, William Geo. Sidebottom, and Idward Sidebottom were accidentally drowned while bathing ; and that Charles Radcliffe Sidebottom was accidentally drowned in at- tempting to save his brothers." Friday's Gazette contains an Order in Council, declaring that with regard to apprenticed or not apprenticed labourers in the British Colonies, nothing contained in the Slavery Abolition Bill shall be construed to prevent the Governors and other local Legislature, • with the advice of his Majesty's Privy Council, from making any regulations not inconsistent with said Act; and also approving of the regulations made by the Superintendent of the British Settlements at Honduras, and directing that no part of the sum of twenty millions sterling shall be applieain them to the purposes of said Act, without » n Order in Council for it, made by his Majesty to that effect. Friday evening the inhabitants of Bridgewater- square, Barbican, and the whole of the neighbourhood adjacent, were thrown into a state of great confusion and consternalion, in consequence of an aldrming fire breaking out in the premises of Mr. Dewick, stationer, of Barbican. The London and County fire engines attended in about twenty_ minutes after the fire broke out, at which time the Hames had gained great ascendancy, no fewer than six houses being on fire— viz., two in Barbican, and four in Bridgewater- square. The flames were got under about half- past ten o'clock. One man is missing. Two horses perished in the flames. On I riday morning, the Rev. W. Blanchard, who in consequence © f mental derangement was placed under the care of a keeper at Mount Sorrell Cottage, near Shepherd's Bush, struck his attendant unexpectedly on the head, and having knocked him down, jumped cut of the window, and fractured both his thigh bones in a frightful manner. A trial for breach of promise of marrige came on at the Croydon Assizes on Thursday. The plaintiff was a Miss Anderson, a natural daughter of a highly respectable gentleman named Wheatly, and the defendant was a Presbyterian Minister of the same name at Alnwick in Northumberland. Evidence was given to sustain the indictment, and a verdict for the plaintiff was returned,— damages Second Edition, with considerable Aditions, in 8vo. price 10s. cloth bds.
