stitution ; that it cannot be claimed as a constitutional light by the people." Mr. O'CoN NELL prOpOSeS " the -ole:tion to be for two years, because that mode has been tried in America ;"—while many of those who coincide ith him on the points of Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot, insist upon Annual Parliaments. The Bin e iNGIIAM POLITICAL UNION declares, that" Annual Parliaments are not a clear, acknowledged, indisputable, constitutional right; and that it may be doubted, whe ther they would work better for the people, than their un deniable constitutional principle of Triennial Parlia ments :"—And the Declaration further states, that " the doctrines of Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Annual Parliaments, may be calculated to weaken the cause of Reform." The difference of opinion and of prin ciple here set forth, must be destructive to the attain meut of any great political object; and, as no political object, however greet or popular, can be just that is not also strictly constitutional, we must say, that the only principle of Reform which we can honestly approve, or conscientiously advocate, is that promulgated by the BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL UNION.

The church service ela performed by his Lordship, assisted by the sub.dean and the prleNt in ordinary, the Rev. H. J.

His Lordship Men proceeded with the ceremony, and confirmed about sixty of the young Nobility and Gentry. The KING'S bounties were given to the recipients in a temporary building, constructed at the back of Whitehall chapel, at 12 o'clock in the following order :—The Maundy people having previously been arranged, the men at one table and the women at another, the procession en tered from the Almmry.eillce, preceded by the yeoman usher and ten eonoen in their state drases, and one bearing a largegold dish, with purses arranged round it—red purses, each containing one sovereign ; and white purses, each containing as many silver pennies as the King is years old ; the aub.almoncr, followed by two girls and two buys from the Westminster National School chosen for their good conduct ; the secretary and the groom of the almonry, with se. rural others, all wearing white scarfs, and carrying nosegays.— fhe sub-almoner then proceeded to distribute to each of the Maundy men a pair of shoes and stockings, and woollen and linen ,iuth, and the purses of mosey to both men and women.

The following fact, which is so interesting to the his tory of Magnetism, has taken place in the department of Gets, at the residence of the Judge of the Peace for the Canton of Condon, in the presence of divet7able paeans : John —, a farmer, 23, had an abase inside of the upper part of the leg. The micas' men who attended him prevailed on the patient to submit to a puncture, but the operation required the greatest caution and fortitude, as the crural artery, which tea. versed the tumour, was frightfully enlarged. Count de B—, aims maces deal power is remarkable, proposed to magnetise the patient, la plies somnolency in the first instance, and then to produce bemeinty in that part of the body where the operation was to be palbemed, for the purpose of sparing him those sufferings which would be unavoidable in a waking state. The pro puke's' accepted. At the lad Onto minutes the patient was plunged in a magnetic state. Siarilway -nitrated itself immediately, but without any particular eassissumss. The patient replied to his magnetiser, that he sought him in vain, and that he could neither see thedisesse, north. cause thereof. Doclorlu • • • • performed then the surgical operation, which had been deemed requisite, with the greatest dexterity. Es repeatedly plunged the instrument into the opening made by the bistoury, in order to give an issue to the purulent matter, when ha flow was Impeded by albumi nous flakes. The wound was afterwards bound up. During the whole operation the patient remained motionless like a statue, with. out his magnetics' sleep being in the least disturbed ; and on the physicians proposing that the magnetics' state should be interrupted, hi. de B. spontaneously awoke the patient. Dr. R. approached him, and asked if he would submit to the operation. " I must," replied the patient, " because it is necessary." Dr. R. announced then to him that it would be useless to begin again, as the operation had been performed already. The astonishment of the patient was ex cessive when proofs of this were exhibited to him. lie had felt nothing, experienced nothing, and absolutely remembered nothing but the act of M. de B. when be placed the palm of his hand on his forehead to make him fall asleep.—Journal de Toulouse.

A numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the County of Huntingdon was held, on Tuesday, at Huntingdon, pursuant to Requisition, to take into Consideration the Propriety of Petitioning the Legislature for the Repeal of the Duties on Malt. A little before 12 o'cluck, the High Sheriff for the county, J. (1. SCOTT, EVI took the Chair. Among the company present were observed, Lord Milton, M.P. Sir J. Duberley , J. B. Hooper, Esq. J. Hammond, Esq. Capt. Duberley, and a large proportion of the most respectable farmers of the county. The HIGH SHERIFF read the Requisition under which he had convened the meeting; and letters were read (torn Lord Mandeville and W. H. Feßowe', Esq. the members fur the county, apologizing for their absence from the meeting. _ _. J. B. RooFzi, Esq. mowed that the following Petition to both Houses of Parliament be adopted : " That very general distress pervades the country, the prevalence of which renders still more oppressive that burden of taxation which is so injurious to the industry of your petitioners, and the rest of their fellow.subjects. " Your petitioners have been gratified by the reductions which have been already made in the public expenditure, and they duly appreciate the desire which your honourable house has manifested for the alleviation of the national distress by repealing taxes to a considerable amount. "Your petitioners, however, extremely regret, that in selecting taxes to be repealed, your honourable house has not selected the duty upon Malt in preference to that oo Beer. " Your Petitioners, who are either owners or occupiers of land, are satisfied that the agricultural interests of the country would have been much mote effectually promoted by repealing a duty which may be said to be levied upon the raw produce of the soil, than by LW remission of one iropesed upon a consumable article, and they are saddled that it would have afforded equal, if not more extensive relief to the community at large. " Your Petitioners, however, cannot admit the impracticability of repealing both these duties, if your Honourable House makes such reductions in the establi shment, of the country as the wag ties of the times imperiously demand. These establishments, in the opinion of your Petitioners, are greatly beyond what is neces sary for the administration of justice and the protection of the em. pare and its dependencies against foreign aggression, the only objects for which government is instituted. Your Petitioners seek not for relief in the enactment of laws in. jurious to any class of the community, but solely in the diminution of taxes, which press alike on all classes. " Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that the duties upon malt, by which they are particularly agrieved, may be forthwith and entirely repealed. " And your Petitioners, Ac." The Hon. Gentletnan moved that the above Petition be adopted. M. TE3SUTT, 11. seconded the motion. Mr. WELLS mov ed that two resolutions oeaffixed to the petition read ; one declaring the necessity of a repeal of the beer, malt, and hop duties, and the assessed taxes, and the second for the subuitu don of a modified property tax. The Rev. F. H. MASULEY said he did not see the necessity of any new taxes, but if one was necessary it should be an assess ment upon real property. Reduction of taxation. as now content. plated, he thought it was no relief to the agriculturist. If the revenue was, as he understood it to be, 55,000,0001. and government would only take of 6,000,000 L if all the relief went to the agriculturist, it would not amount to 5L each. He should like to see 50,000,0001. taken off—(immense laughter and cheering),--not that he thought it could be so. So with reductions of rental, what was 15 or 20 per cent. they ought to have off 80 or 90—(laughter.) He was a great friend to the human race, and always glad to hear of Indivi dual and collective prosperity, and therefore he thought the repeal of the beer duties most unjust towards the brewers and publicans, many of whom had staked large sums of money on the faith of the laws remaining as they found them—(disapprobation.) The country must be irretrievably ruined unless they entirely shut out foreign corn and encouraged the home grower—(laughter.) What was the effect of the present system ? All the poor were thieves and yap. bonds—(roars of laughter, and " No, no.") Lord Illtivrow rose, and was received with loud cheering, which lasted for some minutes. He said, before he would says syllable on the subject of the meeting, he would exwas his gratitude to the Rev. Gentleman for the benevolence he hat displayed ; and, baying done so, he must be perositted to mom a doubt whether benevo lence, unless guided by wisdom end penthess, was a sage guide for them to adopt. (Chem) He thought the declaration of the Rev. Heideman, that he roved of the repeal of the beer duty, be. cause it might MdilieMy affect the interests of eistant brewers, was a sure pee of the justice of his proposition. (Cheers and laughter.) • Rev. Mr. Mansitstr—lt is quite a mistake; I Dever said any such thing. (Roars of laughter.) " Well," continued Lord AltLrow, " we will not stop to in quire into that. Our object to-day is not to talk about the beer tax but to consider the propriety of petitioning for relief from the malt tax. (Cheers.) At any rats, the great panacea of the Rev. Gentleman, which sou to relieve the landed interest, which, be it re. membered, included landlord as well as tenant, was to be found in the shutting out of foreign corn, and the high prices consequent upon such an enactment. (Cheers.) These high peke, he maintained, would be of DO service to the tenant farmer, however much they might benefit the landlord ; and if proof, beyond assertion, were necessary of this truth, he might point out some familiar instances which had occurred even in this county. (Cheers.) The rents must, and would be regulated by the prices of coca ; and the gross pro duce of a farm, after deducting the expences of cultivation. If all expences of cultivation with taxation, and the fair interest of ca pital employed, amoun ted to 4001. per annum, and the gross pro duce of the farm amounted to 0001., the difference between these two sums must ultimately form the rate of rental. Low prices. therefore, were not injurious to the interests of the tenants, while high prices were advantageous to the landlord, as enabling him to proportionate his rent accordingly.—(Cheers.)—Farmers might rest assured that much of the cry that had been raised on this subject was not with a view to benefit their interests, but those of the landlords themselves ; and the Legislature, by giving ear to such complaints would only be furthering injustice and owession. The noble lard then entered at consi derab le length into the necessity of a modified property-tax, as proposed in the amendment of Mr. iVells, and instanced from a parliainetary paper, (which was recently pub. lished.) the great proportion of persons of small incomes, receiving under 1501. per annum, who would not be oppressed by such a measure. He did not see that the necessity of such a tax bed as yet arisen, and therefore it was much better not to show that the people of this country approved of such an alter. native He should have approved of the repeal of the malt tax in preference to that of beer, and he thraight that by rigid economy, next Session, government might be in a situation to pro• pope such a measure; but he thought it both inexpedient and un called for, to suggest an arrangement of that sort now, by commut ing with government for the enactment, in their stead, of an arbitrary and inquisitorial tax like that upon property. The noble lord sat down amidst loud cheers. Several other Gentlemen addresard the meeting, and the original petition was canied unanimously ; and that the Lord Lieutenant should present it to the Lords, and the members for the county to the Commons. Yesterday morning the 7th Regiment of Dragoon Guards, commanded by s's Roe? BOLTON, matched through Lambeth from Ipswich, on route to Canterbury. The 15th Hus sars, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Sir It. LONG, marched from Brighton to Barnet, on their route to Nottingham. in order to re lieve the Bth Ruyaflomeers who return to Ilounslow to take the express duty, and relieve the 10th Iluakars The 14th Light Des. goons marched into Brighton Irons York to relieve the 15th Boa sars.

A Meeting of Farmers, Occupi ers of Land, and Mar ket Hardeners, in the vicinity of the letropolis, was held yester day, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, to pass cersih re-olutions, whereon to found a petition to Pariilment, against tar: extension of the New Police to those districts contcm. plated by the passing of the late Act. Mr. H. FITCH, an occupier of land at Fulham, who took the chair, said . that the proposed introduction of the New Police to the vicinity of •the Metropolis, Would not afford protection to the occu piers of land adequate to the expenoe that would be incurred. If the police was introduced in the environs of the Metropolis, it would impose a rate of t-pence in the pound ow the rental ; and what good could a Pdiaman effect in watching a district of some miles through which there was no road, and on land, which if he placed his foot, it would be considered a trespass. The Act was most offensive to that class which he represented, as it would affect them in the proportion tif 20 to I. compared with the house. keeper. The farmers and market-gardeners had been visited with severe distress ; and he considered that if they were visited with this last infliction, it would operate a 4 a knockdown blow. lie. ADAMSON observed, that the whole parish of Hackney was watched for lOW. a week, and although his rental was 0001. he was only rated at SOL A great part of his land was marsh land, which was not worth reelecting ; but by the operation cf the new police act, it would be guarded in the same manner as land of the most valuable description. If this was persevered in, it would be come a subject of great oppression. Mr. Wit.stor said that in a large parish near Brentwood, there were only two houses, the rest .g of land, the greater put of which was meadow, where there was nothing to watch. Several other Hentkmen having addressed the Meeting, several Resolutions were carried, showing the particular nature of the anti cipated grievances, and asking for a modification of the obnoxious Act. The Meeting then adjourned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held yerterday foe the despatch of general public business. THE GRESHAM LECTURERS. Mr. RICKARDSOX atateda;i a resolution Was some time ago carried in that Court for referring it ton Committee to inquire into the best mode of rendering the Graham lectures more useful to the public. Now be wished to inquire what had been done in pursuance of that reference ? Mr. OLDHAM, as the mover of that resolution, replied that mea sures had been taken in obedience to the reference. It might be te. collected that the lectures which the great founder, Sir Thomas Gresham, by his will provided to have delivered for the benefit of die citizens of London, had for many years past been delivered at times and places which rendered them entirely useless, and their delivery a mere farce. The Committee to whom the subject was referred considered that they might be delivered at a time when they would he useful to busy and useful people—namely, at seven in the evening, Instead of at one o'clock in the day, as at present. They considered that they might be delivered at a more commodious place than the Royal Exchange, and a conference was held with the ma nagers of the London Institution, to obtain their consent to permit the lectures to be given at the commodious theatre of that in. stitution. The managers met them in the most liberal spirit, and agreed to provide the requisite accommodation for the lectures and lecturers. All was going on in the most satisfactory manner, when a difficulty arose in a quarter from which nothing but facili ties had been expected. The lecturers were strongly averse to any alteration. (Hear, hear.) The committee took the opinions of the Attorney and of the Solicitor-General on the subject, and those au. thorilles were clearly of opinion that this Court had the power to appoint for the delivery of the lectures any place within the City of London. Strong objections were still made by the lecturers. Thus the matter at present stood. One conclusion had been made, by those members of the Committee engaged in the conference, that it must be recommended to the Court that, whenever there might be any new appointmenu of lecturers, such persons only should be ap pointed as would give securities for the due performance of their duties. (Hear, hear.) It bad always appeared to him a disgrace to the Citrthat a property yielding 700/. per annum, designed by the great founder for the remuneration of such men, and the advance ment of intellectual cultivation in this metropolis, should be mis applied as at present. Mr. R. L. Jonas expeesed his entire oiscurrence with the ob servations made by Mr. Oldasim It was proper, however, to state, that some lecture's &dims& swedes flier his behaviour. The Minoru of the Lonrho Latltetiw bed met the proposition in the most liberal manna. PARISH APPEALS. Mr. LEMMA essoplehtil of the gammas expense occasioned to parishes by the centinned peslpmement of parish appeals in conse quence of the neglect of the iddisensen or law officers. He mentioned one instance where the wrens eseesiesed by delay was mere than would have sufficed for the maintenance of the pauper more than six years. Sir PETER Lanais old that the postponement of the appeals was not to be ascribed I 0 the non-attendance of Aldermen. He was alwaysreado attend en any day which might be fixed foe the of the appeals. The fault was with their Judge, the Re corder. Mr. Alderman WOOD said that certainly be had often seen the proceedings of the Sessions carried on without the presence of a suf. defeat number of Aldermen.—((A laugh.) Mr. GALLOWAY said that 1,01001. per annum, the auk of the works' present salary, was amply sufficient to procure a man of the highest architectural talents, and, therefore, would undoubtedly suMoe for the remuneration of Mr. Montague. It was, perhaps, the distraction occasioned by the multiplicity of this officer's multi farious duties to which might be ascribed those bungling archi. tectural structures which disgraced the city under his administration. (Haar, hear.) CLEUI 07 WWII& A long report on iletititin.aell2ollll;llte of the Oak of the Works was mad. The elated that several of the duties of the office had been performed.

Mr. S. Dixow etimanweely mimed the report, on the ground that the duties for which addkienel emolument was asked same within the pre.cribed duties at the Mee. Mr. W. &riving; of 1116opr, also opposed the reception of the report. This who the modesty to ask for an increase of be stated to the Committee that ten beads and ten pair of bonds cos no gala for the performance of the present duties of his Mee. Taking this to be so, would an in. crease of his salary ensure an beam of intellectual strength ? (hear.) He amented to the remuneration of Mr. Montague for his past Mcrae of service, but not for their continuance. Mr. CHAS. PEARSON, Mr. LEDOES, MT. PELLAT, and Mr. H. TAYLOR, severally _opposed the report. Mr. H. L. JONES, .Ir. EXINEZEII Talmo., of Cripplegate, and ML ne =t e y n ROUTH, supported it. An t wasmoved by Mr. PELLAT, for not agreeing to that part of the report which recommended an increase of the ems. luments of the Clerk of the Works. The amendment was carried. _ 3lr. C.
