Acorn= question on ecclesiastical reform by Mr. BOWMAN : more delay required by Lord JORN Rue- ItiLL! For two le 'dons the Premier avoided Mr. Illoascan's missions by fins promisee and fair words; be acknowledged the truth of Mr. Honiexam'a ex posure of the grievous mismanagement of the funds of the Exlesiastical Conamiskou ; for two sessions be admitted the extent is which the property of the skint+ might be improved, but did nothing to int pewee it ; for two sessions he granted the proposition that Le cher reform was indispensable, but made no move in that direction. Nay, he commenced the prone nt ness:on by . a declaration that he had no measure of reform in preparation. Aid, when stung into Oe tint by the reproaches of Mr. HORSMAN ; when codinto amessure by the determination of the . member far Cockennoul not to ba longer trill.d with. Lord Jrnie Wrenn laid a bill on toe table • f the House of Commocs so obviously de'ective, insuffi cient, sod hating ; so palpably a bishop's bill, that be his never had the cootie to bring it under the serious to sidelation of th- Louse; and now that tie pester ce of Geer public business will no longer enable him to stave off its discussion until all the membeta interested in the question are driven into the ra untry by use hod of the weather, and by the absence of government busicess, Lord Joule will this evening proper to re-commit the till, in order that it may be so remodelled as to introduce some pubstantial improvem nt into the compositim and system of the Reelcsinstic 1 Commiision. This is pitiable, unsatisfactory work. First, the fear of the bishops and the dignified els rgy induces the PREMIER t ) introduce a bad bill ; and then the fear of Mr. llowous, Lod ASHLEY, and Mr. PAGE WOOD, forces him to see if he cannot make it a good one! Whig. may call this statesmanship; other people think it the craft of a weak, uneable politician. And, in the midst of such vacillation, ail that is apparent is that Lord June's alterations will require to be very closely watched ; for what confidence can be placed in a minister who thus runs with the hare and hunts with the hounds? The truth we believe to be, that, person Ily, Led J. Rossent and his col league, in epee of all their pledges, hue rid little or no atrent . en to this important subject; but have allowed ti e EeelesiastioslCommispion to furnish them with a scheme ; and ir, as might have been septette!, turns out to be quite inefficient for any wend purees-. What its defects are we have before stated. The vies of the Fe •lesisstiell Commission is that it and the affairs of the church entrusted to its administra tion, ate at the mercy of the bench of bishops; and the coneequer.ce of this episcopal supremacy has been an extent of mismanagement quite with out parallel in the history of c it:temperaments commissions. The funds of the church have been scandalously and shamelessly wasted on 'episcopal palaces, on episcopal perdue, on episcopal bed room., on episcopal stable.. &tate. have been bought for bishops at pekes far beyond their value Houses have been purchased for them became of their fitness for episcopal residence; and no sooner has the purchase been completed than thousands have been Lid out on their repairs, on their adornment, on additions. States have be n sold and exchanged to the manifest and notorious injury cf the 11104 to which they belonged. The principle has been laid down and acted on too— tests the Bishops of Lin coln and Rochester—that bishops ought not to reel& in their old places or in their episcopal cities. Allow ances hare Bien made to bishops—to Dr. Semen, the Pilate., and Dr. WILBERFORCE for example— beyond the stipends flied by the Church Tem poralities Reform Act. In short, there is no possible way in which the episcopal fund could be abused that it has not been ahseed ; and for its abuse the bench of Notions is entirely responsible; for they it is who have a huge majority on the commission • they it is who are the constant attendants at its baled, • they it is on who motion these things have been dote, these acts of misappropriation have been perpetrated. , When the lest job was pissed for the Bishop of ' OXFORD, there were seven ecclesiastical and three lay commissioners present at the Board. The first step io the improvement of the commisairn must, therefore, be the abatement of episcopal supre marl therein. Without that abatement, no substan tial improvement can be made in its composition ; and without improvement in its comp;sition, a better ad ministration of its funds is quite hopeless. Unlese. then, Lord Jones's alterations remove this great and primary defect of the commission, his bill will remain so defective in principle as to merit the very stoutest oppositionthatc an be given toit. Nor,in reqturingthis Improvement, is anything demanded hostile to the best interests of the church ; for the supremacy of the bishops in tle commission is a late introduction. Origitaily certain of the prelates only, and they the best `of the bench, were members of it, and they were then a minority ; and it is only since the whole binds became ex officio commissioners, that the property of the church has been squandered. It would, we shall be told, be offensive now to ex *Weeny of the present bishops from the commission. The alternative, we reply, is then obvious: give to the lay and paid commissioners whom Lord JOHN'S bill proposes to introduce the entire and complete management of the property of the commission: assign to them its temporalities, and restrict tte commission u now composed to the direction of what may be called its spirit unties. Now, what Lord JOHN'S bill, as it stands, doer, is to add paid and lay commissioners, for tits ostensible purpose of managing the temporalities; bat in reality It will leave the property quite as much in the power of the bishops as before; for the management of th e paid commissioners has to be subject to the control of the general board, where the bishops will remain su preme. The introduction of these commissioners may introduce order where chaos now reigns; it may lead to a glad system of accounts; it may beget pru dence in the management of the property; it may ensure a regular and authentic audit ; but it will not necessarily produce any better ex penditure of the funds; and emscanently with all these improved details, jest am vicious an outlay as before may go on ; for the egmeraimismare who threw away messy in times pelt athhiter i palaces will, under Lord JOHN'S bill, have quite r much power to throw more after it on like objects hereafter. The Pays= must therefore consent to some provisions that will prevent such a waste of dwell property ; op aitra osa only consist of—either ea abatement of supremacy in the commit sion,or the ttensfee Bits temporalities to the sew lay and paid commissioner. This. Mr. BOWMAN may depend upon it, is the mein point to be attended to in the bill. Unsecurid, his put labour will have been in vain. - Whilst on this subject, we must advert to the pre sent state of the Bishop Wear/Death ease, It Lord J. Rtrsem stit'es, under the consideration of the law officers of the crown. Now, es it is no part of the duty of the Arroanar ie. SOLICMOA-GENERAL to devise a scheme such ae Dr. MALTBY promised should be prepared, tile ems must be before them one point of law : and that point, we presume, is whether a scheme can be carried through w thout again bringing the queetion under the consideration of parliamt at, and thereby avoiding fortherdiscussion of the Bishop of Dcanatt's conduct. If this suppwition be correct, tt inveves a substantial breach of faith: for it was only oa the consideratioa that legislation on the stihject was indiepeneable that the previous question we, carried on Mr. BOWMAN'S motion. But it involves what is more et rims even than a violation of good faith; it involves the carrying out of a scheme which must be a bad and deective one f there Is no power by which the necessities of the ease of Bishop Weaim 'nth and rl nd can be adequately met by an Order in Centel. Mr. Hoes wa most therefore be on the alert, or here too the Eueleeisstical Commission (for to it the case bas been referred) will steal a march upon. ha. TEE COURT.

THE FACTORY BILL-DEPUTATION TO 81R OBOROB OBEY. The following gentlemen connected with the cattm districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, united also by gentle men from Carlisle and Olaegow, had an intetview yesterday morning with the Right Hon.

The de putation was attended by the following members of parlia ment: Mr. Milner Gib.on, Mr. E idle, Mr. Brown, Mr. Henry, Mr. James Hey w•od, Mr. Wilson Paten, Mr. CO den, Mr. Kershaw, Mr. Heald, Mr. Pilkington, Mr. Blair, Mr. (freewill, Mr. Thianessr, Mr. Duncan , Mr. Lacy, Mr. Allal:TOOM Mr. W.

The object of the deputation was to present a memorial, of which we subj.)in a copy, on the subj- ct of the present hum of the factory law. It will be observed that the memorial is eigned by 638 firms, I mployieg upwards of 167.b9t work pee ple, being more than three-fonnha of the whole of the cotton trade of the northern districts. Mr. Oeo.&schen also presented a memorial from Glasgow signed by 65 firms employing upwards of 24,000 operatives. It may safely be said that this is the most numerously signed and imporant demount ever presented by the cotton trade to the troy. rament. Toe [bras whose names are attached to it pay in wap,es alone more than 100,0001. weekly, or up wards of five millions sterling per year. The iaterview tared for m, re than an ticur. The memorial is as follows : TO TIRO AKIHT HON. NUL OFOROR ORIT, Mt; NI. :MITT'S PRINCIPAL NRCILITART Or STATE FOR 7111 NORM DIPARTMENT, &C.

That, as pailiument, ut or a preterit) consideration for woman and yarn./ as none, has thqught it expedient to enact special restraints upon the gamin of labour in mills, and the use of manufacturing capital, /our memorialists claim that rho law should be at least inteldoble and equable.

MILITARY HONOURS FOR THE ARMY OF MEETING AT HEMEL HEMPSTEAD. A public meeting of the County of Hertford Re form Society wu held at Hemel Hempstead 4n Wednesday lut, moat of the leading literals of the neighbourhood being present. Mr. WILLIAY HOWARD, one of the oldest re formers of the enemy, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN adverted to Unimportance, more par ticularly, of fin-ncisl reform. He considered it the duty, in the . prestat circumstances of the actuary, of men of all parties w join in demanding ntr..nchment in the nations! expenditure. He called upon the meeting to give all who might be dispovd to speck a fair heating, and to allow tit• arguments that might be advanced to have their legitimate idler nu upon the mind. Mr. EVERITT, of Luton, proposed the first restdution in favour of financial reform. _ _ . Mr. WALLER, of Luton, seconded the rcsolution end urged the necessity of attending to the qualification and rir gistratiain of voters, u the best means of obteiaing fiesceial reform. Mr. LATTIMORE, of Vilmatharnstead, proposed the second resolution, which related to parliamentary reform. He spoke of the aristocratic character of the present House of Commons, and of the way in which ita memben were at present elect ed. Mr. JAGGER, of Hemel Hempstead, seconded the rasa nation, and expressed the pleasure ka felt at the formation of • society which would enable them to join In so good a work as parliamentary reform.

Yesterday the nomination of a member to reoresent South Warwickshire, in the room of Mr. Evelyn J. Shirley, took place at the County Hall. Warwick. It bad been known for some time that Lord Guernsey, the eldest son of the Earl of Aylesford, would be unopposed. The Hon. C B. PINCY proposed Lord Guernsey as a fit and proper person to lid the vacant seat. His lordship had expressed doubts as to his youth and inexperience qualifying him as their repress remise. But they must revember that in the county of War wick, the same remark was male with reference to S.r John Mordeunt, but had they been ashamed of him ? (No.) He, Hr.

(No.) Let them then 4 ok t e L srd Brooke's youth and inexperience when he first solicited and °lvor's. d their suffrages were they ashamed of him? (No.) Was there no promise in Lord Guernsey, who was willing to forsske domerie tics an 4 put to the armour and fight for their cause ? Ile had in his addrees expressed his deep regret that native industry was not properly protected ; that individual intern's of this con try were preferred to those of the masses; let them give him a trial and he would do his duty to them, con. sistently with the liberty every independent gentleman ought to enjoy. He then alluded to the inability of Lord Job. Sere to attend the election, and eoecluded by pro posing Lord Guernsey, who, though young, though inexpe rienced, was honest, candid, and str iightiorward. /dr. It.

N. other member being propose d, Lord 0 . stepped forward and thanked them for the honour they bad conferred on him, and hoped be should be enabled to deserve the confidence which they all had laced in the late representative, Mr. Shirley. He was a lover of his churl and that constitution which had so long been the glory and envy of the world. He would fight the good battle for those loyal and deserving menithe Brotish farmers.

The Shields Gazette says, "On the morning of Tuesday last an explosion took place at Hebburn C limey, situated on the Tyne, about a mile and a half above Jarrow. I The coal trade being very slack at the present time , none of ' the men were down the pit the preceding day, except tome shifters or plate layers But a vessel having come in for freight, orders were given for them to commence working en Tuesday, and a rumba accordingly descended at the usual time, between four and flee in the morning. About half-past six the explosion took Vacs in what is termed the A pit, sad, lamentable to relate thirty - 'brae human beings, men and boy., were destroy ed. Of all who were in teat part of the workings at the time, only one, a young man twenty-seven years of age, was lift alive. About 100 were in the pit eltoptner, but those who escaped were in a different part of it. Two hours later, the loss of life would have been double, as the second shalt would have bean down. The exact eau,* of the catastrophe is unkaown. Ihe likelihood is that the explosion was occasioned by gas which had accumulated in the upper part of the drift and which had sot been carried off by the current of air pinging through it, on amount of the numerous inequalities in the height of the roof, which virile from five-and-a-half feet to eleven or twelve. The gas which oozes occasionally from the unwrousht coal, being lighter then stmosphetio air, rises and fills these cavities, but it was never before known to do so to such en extent as to be dangerous. It is supposed that the violent thunder-worm of the previous evens g had deranged the ventilation of the pit, and that two tuba passing along the tram-way at the same time had caused the gas to flow out, and mode it come in contact with the men's lighted candles. The spot where the explosion took plane is about half a mile from the down-east shaft. Those nearest the fatal locality were frightfully burnt and mutilated, one of the bodies, we understend. being taken up in three pieces. Others more at a distance presented no ex t-rnal marks of injury, having been killed by the after damp. The man who escaped was thrown down violently by the shock, and lay for some time inoen.ible. He could give no 'mount whatever of the way in which it happened. " Upon obtaining news of the accident on Tuesday fore noon, we took a boat and repaired instantly toXtbborn. The scone which there permuted itself was panful in the extreme—friends and relations flocking from all qualms, sager to gain intelligence as to the number and names of the sufferer.; an anxious crowd thronging round the pit month, and watching intensely the bucket as it was raised or lowered ; carts bedded with straw waiting to carry o n ome thfieorposs; groups of sorrowful women, expecting pssibly the remiss of a father, a hothead, or a sox, to be next b011&M: most teaching, porker, of all, poet thought less OMM , ' se, themselves, amid the yawns' bustle, With Iltdr_ joyous sad penis, es It swift bed hap- ClThe - email pit-village were on ores of deep ei **am I. almost every sew Ma" the maw wkils erlaerer-bliade were draws dm* SW% sad= the era dues seat' be descried the beau of the &wady hid eat sad covered will aisle, Sere awl doe, at awassa, were maw fellvreara beenbant Of I sews of die sufferers, garble Is aossel 014 said poring stead.

Yesterday an extraordinary general meeting of share holders took place at the London Tavern, B. B. JAMISON, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The fincarrairr read the roan by whirh the meeting tree convened, aid from which it appeared that the business to be disposed eters' as follows: lat. To c'difirui the forfeiture did ired by the directon of certain the is upon which falls are in sneer, the required notices of the forfeiture of which have been given to the re spective propels% to ; and to determine the court* to be adopted fur disposing of the shares so forfeited by a rale or cancelling, and re issue or otherevisa, and upon such terms as the meeting shall direct, for the purpose of raising the capital represented by such 'bans. 2nd. To determine the course to be adopted with respect to the 40,000 London and York Extension snip shares of 261. each—it-sued in December, 1846, ae d by a resolution of the general mei ting of 13 h August, 1847. consolidated two into one registered Greet Northern there—to induce the holders they of to pay calls to he made thereon, that the capital wh ch th se shares represent may become available. 3rd. To approve and confirm, or otherwise, certain agree. aunt. entered into by the oireetors with the Ear ern Coun ties Railway Company, and the B anon, Btamterd, and Bir mingham Rahway Cimpany, for securing to the Great Northern trains the right of rut ning over the Eastern Coun ties Compact's line between Wisbeach wed Pahrborough, thereby to supersede the necessity of constructing the paral lel line from Peterborough to Wisbeach, agreed to be leased by the Great Northern Company, and to compromise and &opense with such home. The CHAIRMAN having read that portion of the report adopted at the lest general meeting, is which the forfeiture of the shares in arrest was declared, said that it now became Ws duty to ask t e present meeting to confirm what had been done by the directors respecting thtse shares. He then proposed reeolut ens to the affect that the forfeiture of the 26,634 shim be confirmed ; that they be disposed of at the ettscretion of the dir.ctors, by cancelling or selling them, and that, in lieu of the amount of capita represented by them, there be issued, on the terms and condition already s Wad, scrip shares of 121.10 e. bearing 5 per cent, interest, or preference disidend in perpetuity. These resolutions were unanimously 4.doptert. The CHAIRMAN said that they should flow go to the second claim of the business bettor* the meeting ; and, with respect to the 40,000 London and York Extension scrip share, of 2.51. each, issued under date of the Ist December, 1845, with V. 10.. inr share paid, and which, by a resolu ion of the half-yearly general meeting of 13th August, 1847, were to bare been consolidated into and resist. red as 20,000 Great Northern share. of 251. each, with M. paid up, repre senting a capital of 500,0004, and which are hi Id ea follows: No. of ecti,) shares consoli.!ated two into one Great Northern share, and registered No. still in &rip 32,802 Total sham as also, the course which the director. recommended wee that they should be converted into 40,000 scrip shares of 121. 100. each, with a depe.s't of 21. 10.. per share, as already paid thereon, and be weeded with the Nether sum of 6.. per share for two years' iat t &cooed to:3oth June instant, and be entitled to 6 per cent. oer annum interest or preference dividend in perprouitr. This proceeding the directors believed would he beseficiaf to the company by acting as a stimulus to the holders el these shares to register and pay up the calla made en them, and would also place the Welders of the shares in a more fsvouroble position than they occupied at present. He then proposed the following tee' lotion : " That the 40,000 London and York Extension scrip shares of 251. each, dated Ist December, 1846, sad subsequently by tuolvion of belt. yearly genteel meeting of 13th August, 1817, reduced to 20,000 shores of 251. by consolidation of two into one Great Northers shore, toed Terme ing a reduced capital of 500,0001., be converted into and 'recharged for 40,000 scrip shares of 12/. 19t es.ch, bowing 6 per cent istrest or pro fuse, dividend in perpetuity, upon the terms and condi tions recommended by the dire aura to this meeting. 2 hat an? remaiaine uteel oared be offered to G. tat Nathan pro. pnetors (duly r g rend) ra•ealq, or be other wise disposed of at the disostion of the directors." It was intended that these shares should be inlaid to thel holders of sending London and York Extension scrip., who were to receive i et ad an allotment letter, authorising the company's backer.. to receive the hist call, and the following were the conditi nee attending the lee° of the uew scrip " That a first eal of 21. ss. per share be pa9:l between th 25th and 30. h of June, and unless p old by the 30th June, all sight and title to those sharps from that day to etue, and the shams to be immediately tdherwise deep sod of at the dis cretion of the d rectors ; thst a second cell of 21. 10s. per share be paid on or before the 31st August; that a third called 21. 10s. per share he paid on or before the 31st Oct.; and that the fourth and final call be paid on or before the 31st D:c., 1849 ; the interest or preference dived. ode mmencing from the Ist July next. That if any one of the her these calls he not pai l on the they spec:fie d, all interest wall from that day cease ; and if unpaid for thir. y days, the scrip shares, and ell previous pat ments thereon, will,without other notice, become abstiutrly forfeited." . . 8 p. optic . ors, amongst whom •ere Mr. Capt. HALL, Mr. Theo y, tic., objected to this propoettion, as containing terms too favuurable to the holden of the York amenu. n shares, who, it was inserted, were to be be nt fl'ed at the ex penre of the original shareholdi re, whose properly could be 1.1 moonily ;mem • bered with the nreferenee stock created by this step. I hey contended that these shares should either ba at one,- forfeited, or a reasonable time being given to the penis* holding them to register, they should, ' in the event of non-registry, be then forfeited. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors were in want of mousy, and if they did not g•t it from the holders ol these stares they should m..ke a call on their original shareholders, upon whom tl ey were anxious not to press at present. By the adoption of the plan prop s.d many pigeons holdir g es tension shares would register and tika the guaranteed seep in exchange. The tot Itidure of these shares was not legally prairies. le, because none of the holders bad registered, and the y could not he compelled to do so. because the share deed tf the ctmpany had la.en signed in Pit:land the bill was not obtained fur a y sr and a hal. Outwards. Mr. COititiE moved an amendment to the effect that the further consi leratinn of the question be adjourned to the general meeting in Ataieust next. The amendment eaving be. n put from the choir, was vie roared by a large majority, and the chairman declared the original Tee elution carried.

Till CHOLZRA IN PLTXOtilf. The Ault rican I.:4eemigrantahii, Capt. Chad wick, strived in Plvateuth Sound on Tuesday afternoon, at three o'clock, when it was stated that several of the emi grants ou board of her were afflicted with cholera. It sp. pethat the ship clearci out of the London Decks on red that the 31. t of May, with about 270 emigrants on board, and as she was proceeding down the river, one of her passengers tell ill of the cholera. Shortly after another was affected in the same manner. Both of them were German emigrants, and had been resident in a house which had, it is said, be en lettered by the dimmer. By the time the vessel arrived in Portsmouth, one of her crew had fallen a victim to the manly. The captain, on arriving off Plymouth, put into the S sued and came to anchor. He commut kited with the American consul, Dar. J. W. Fox, who obtaited a surgeon to visit the vessel. While he was there one of the patients expired; and several have died since; the bodies of the deceit... 4 here been taken out to seal and sunk in the channel. Wm. Burnett, Esq., mayor of Plymouth, b.ing informed of the melancholy circumstance, despatched Mr. Freeman, b. rough surgeon, on board. Applica.ion was made to the admiral-superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard, Sir J. Louis, for a vessel to be taken into the Sound to rec ire the passengers fram the Eagle. A hulk, the Tyne, was accordingly orde red to be rent, and she was towed from the harbour into the Sound by the Conilance steamer. No one has beea on shore from the ship, except the captain. It is, however, rumoured that the passengers will not proceed to their destination in the vessel. Some of the emigran's on baud are German, but the greater part are English. A correspondent says " The custom ade pted on board emigrant vessels of havtrg charcoal fires kept up between decks far the use of the tmi , grants has been found very delet-rious in the present in stance, the air between decks being very impure." The cases of death which hare occurred on board this vessel have been extremely sudden. THE CHOLERA IN WALES AND SCOTLAND. The cholera, we ( Hereford Jinsrnal) togret to state, prevails at Cardiff and Merthyr. At the latter place, as ap pears from the official returns, there have been 22 eases, and 13 have proved fatal. To the credit of the guardians of the poor, they have been long end loudly proclaiming its approach, and ea:ling oa patties to exert taentselves in clew sing and draining the place. On Wednesday last a public meeting was held in the vestry-room, whim tie medi cal gentlemen practising at Merthyr met the guardians, and measures were adopted for preventing the spread of the disease, and for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers. RE-APPEARANCE OP THE CHOLERA.—At an inquest held yesterday at the Middlesex Huspital, before air. H. M. Wakley, a juror salted the coroner if it was tine that the cholera, after espirin is Locdon, had again made its ape pumice ? The Coron• r replit d tbat he was sorry to say it had ; for on one day last we, k he held three =quote on pumas who had died of Asiatic cholera, and the day he - re yesterday (Wednesday) he had a similar care at Brentwood. The jurttr inquired if It were quite safe to view the bodies, as there were doubts whether It was or was net iaftctiour. The Coroner answered that no one need in the slightest degree fear contamination ; and he might mention that no person who was properly clothed, fed, sad cleansed need fear the cholera. In nine eases set of ten, or indeed all the cues he had scan, the disease had been brought on by want of food. WHITEBOTISM.—On Friday night BO= potions unknown came to the dwelling of Denisand John Cummins, of Clonaksiany. They fired a shot at each of their doors, and posted a rockets notice on them. The Cansmins are aim tskses to Jos* Sao, Esq., IRELAND. DUBLIN, Juan 7. Bowe of the lawyers at the Four Um. is have great • hopes that Sir John Itomilly's Act will not work as rapidly or efficacionsly as is supposed in England. Various difficulties are soggested by which the juries. diction of toe commissioners will bo disputed in many case,. It is regti tied by per'one not interested in legal d.ltys, that the whole of Sir It. Pesra scheme was not adopted. A parliament ,ry title given in the manner which he proposed, would add so much to the security of purchasers in this country, that estates world be worth nearly t weuty per cent. more than when sold under Sir John Romilly's Act. Tue power aho of purchasing proposed ' by Sir It. Peel would arable the commissioners to set with a rapidity which it wou'd be vain to txpect under Sir J. hominy's Act. It is said, however, that ministers could not show their own incompetency by adopting all of Sir R. Peel's plan, and thus they have been obliged to di,figure it, hoping ti make it pass for their own. On the whole, Vie Dubli n law yers have plucked up 111.ir spirits within the last few days, and are in much ti.tter hopis about the ineffi ciency of Sir J. Itorcilly's Att than they were at the commencement of the term, when c.rtainly many of them manifested much trepidsCon lest their occupa tions were about suddenly to cease. The Dublin Improvem nt Bill is not at all reFehed by the con-treatise patty of thisc ty, end a vigorous opposition will be offered to it. The twice say that too much power is given ty it to the new corpora tion, and a committee of the city grand jury has been appointed for the purp.se of watching it.
