but merely to pledge itself to effect a reduction, he hoped they would adopt it, otherwise they would not discharge their duty to their con stituents, Mr. WESTERN thought the house bound to effect a reduction in the establishments of the country. both civil and military, as far as was consistent with prudence ; yet he was of opinion that the house was pledged to that already. He (Mr. Western) did not at tribute all the distress to taxation. He would ask any member in the house if ever he remembered sucn a stagnation in trade, com merce, and agriculture, as at present ? No man living ever witnessed sorb universal misery ' • he attributed it to a change in the currency ; even if taxation were reduced to the extent recommended by the member for Montrose, it would not afford the relief which, a restoration of the currency to the state in which it had been before 1819, would. Lord ALTHORP was happy to perceive that ministers had resolved not to meddle with the currency.— (hear, hear.) In his (Lord Althorp's) opinion, much relief would proceed from a reduc tion in taxation ; but he did not think that a reduction to the amount proposed by the hon. member for Aberdeen could be made. Sir F. BURDETT conceived that to affect a reduction in taxa ilon was at all times the duty of the house, but even if the amount Proposed by the hon. member for Montrose should be repealed, still ire (Sir F.) did not think it would cause any immediate relief. He did not see what relief a reduction of four millions In the taxation could afford unless the circulating medium were raised to the amount above stated. It was said that the legislature should nor tamper with the currency, but it was by tampering with the cur rency that all the evils had arisen, all debts, contracts, and engage. meets, had been formed, while paper was the circulating medium, and it wu doing an oppressive injury to all those who had entered into such engagements. Lord NORMANBY sincerely hoped that ministers would per. severe in their resolution of not meddling with the currency. His hon. friend had shown that reduction was possible, and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer did not deny it. The noble lord could see no adequate ground for rejecting it. Mr. II ERRIES thought that his Mejcsty's ministers had shown every anxiety to make every reduction in the expenditure and tax ation that was consistent with the welfare of the country. If the reduction proposed by the hon. member should be carried into effect, it would entirely reduce our army and navy establishments, and this he was acre the honourable member did not wish. The motion of the honourable member for Montrose was, he considered, brought forward at a moat unfitting time. It was brought before the House had an opportunity or hearing the statement of his right' hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It waebrought forward before his right honourable friend could put the house in possession of what propositions the government thought of making (hear,hear). The honourable member was wrong in attribaing the cause of the present distresses to the source he did ; he was equally in error in supposing that they originated from the present currency, as he was in the application he would make by way of remedy. The honour. able trouper would find, upon further inquiry, that there were other causes for the distress than those stared by him. Mr. C. GRANT thought that in fairness the motion should not have been made until they had been put in possession of the views of ministers upon the subject. They could then, if the proposition was not such as to meet the ideas of the house, have the option of bringing forward a motion on the point. Lord HOWICK supported the motion If a general reduction of t:•‘: taxes could not be effected, he would say there ought at least to be a modification ; (hear, hear.) His lordship complained in Wits tens of the plan adopted that night, as well as upon others, a bringing the question, that eternal question, the currency, Into the discussion. Alr. Secretary PEEL said, "Although 'I shall hare the rata. faction of voting this night on the motion of the hon. gent. in nom. i wny with the•ben. baronet.—" Sir F. BURDETT here exclaimed--" No, you will not."—(A lough.) Mr. Secretary PEEL then observed that the unexpected de aeration of the hon. bast. corrected his mistake, but it also induced him to think the hon. baronet's vote would be at variance with his /perch. He could not agree with the hon. baronet that the remis sion of taxation would not be of benefit to the population. He conceived that the remission of a tax, however small, must relieve the hands of industry. Industry would always fructify much more wl:hout taxation than with it, but he rather thought the hon. but. was disposed to deprecate the liberal reduction proposed by the lion. Member for Aberdeen. It would certainly be of advantage to the House if some Gentleman would bring forward a mea sure by which the standard could be depressed, and a remedy found for the distresses of the country. Would the honourable Baronet bring forward such measure ? If he did, it must be sup. potted by , a stronger argument than any they had heard that night. lie could not understand the honourable Baronet when he mid that a reduction of five millions on the circulating medium would make a reduction in the income of the country to ten times that a. tbount. There were two considerations he was desirous of dis cussing. The honourable Baronet said, " Let us tamper with the currency now because we have tampered with It be. fore."l It did not follow, because they had interfered with the currency twice, that they must interfere a third time.—(Hear.) but the hon. baronet ought to recollect that for ten years the present standard of currency had been in existence. Admitting a loss by the immense paper transactions in 1814, it could not be prudent to dis. Curb the present - transaction. The right hon. gentleman was de. sirous of pressing on the honourable baronet, that unsettling the arrency at this time would be productive of the most dangerous consequences. The moment the public heard it was the intention of parliament to alter the standard, there woad be a demand for the value of their paper. They would press for payment of their paper in the medium in which it was contracted; in short, extreme difficulty would unavoidably occur in unsettling existing engagements. He begged the honourable baronet would pause before he resolved upon the change contemplated. On the subject of the motion, he would ray it was unusual and unprecedented : it was unusual befor the mi. maitre of the Crown had brought in their estimates to the house to step In and MOW a resolution stating that they would forthwith bind themselves to repeal certain taxes. The honourable mem ber talked of reducing 8,510001. of taxation : he (Mr. P.) left it to the house to consider what would be the effect on the public mind -If it was believed that the house was prepated to remit 8,500.0001. of taxes. The honourable member proposed a resolution to remit a large proportion of the text-a—such as those on soap, candles, malt, and other articles ; but any mem b er w h o w i s h e d to remit such taxes ought to bring in a bill for the purpose, 'or nothing was worse to the retail traders than to be left in ewes:zee as to the articles intended to be reduced. The conse quence of uncertainty was, that there would be no confidence, -.mat there would be a total stop to dealing in the retail trade. The hon. member would have acted a more sensible part if he had lorought forward his bill at once. The hon. member had raid that lee motion would console the country for the omission in the King's speech. He (Mr. Peel) knew how impracticable it was to per "even against the declarations made respecting the public suffer. fogs; but he believed that the statement rude in the King's speech was nearer the truth than the assertions of universal and ehmitigsted distress. The communications which he bad received since that speech was delivered, from persons who volunteered their information, convinced him that the distress was not only not universal, but that it never existed to a degree to excite de spoodttley. (Hear, hear.) Although he admitted • that the di.- Less in many parts was severe, and that it had been of long oust., nominee, still it had not extended all over the United Kingdom, ez had it been so severe as to ext i nguish all hopes. He had that Witider,ce in die astonishing resources of the country, tort be was persuaded that in a short space of time, we should reach . tr item id comparative prosperity ; but he did not t hi n k that by exaggerated ettAtetuents of the distress, which would have the eftect of treating despo t demi, we should approximate to a restoration of confidence, cod too stale when we could look forward to a reduction -of the public burdens. 411% IVOIffsHOUSE complained that it was worse this delusion to state that the country had been ten years in this state of despond ency. lit had no coutulence in his Nliojesty's Ministers. Mr. illililE said, that perm ivlng the impatience of the hew, he would not trespass on their attention. He bad done Ms duty, std he hoped the house would perform theirs.

The house then adjourned at One o'Cluck METROPOLITAN POLITICAL UNION. Last night this Association assembled at the Mechanics' Institute, Southampton.buildings. There was a respectable audience of about 1000 persons, among whom were several ladies. 31r. IluxT, previously to the commencement of ,the business, respecting which notice had been given, as to a " Political Union," stated that in the course of his recent visit to the country be had gone through Frome. The meeting would recollect that on a former occasion, on the testimony of a friend, he mentioned the state of the poor there. That statement was noticed by a Correspondent in the Morning Herald, who reported it ; that the facts might be known, if true; and contradicted, if incorrect. Being in that part of the country, he had gone to Frome to have a personal investiga tion ; and he found, bad and afflicting as was his former narrative, he had understated the melancholy truths. Instead of there being 6,000 these were 7,000 paupers out of the 13,000 inhabitants ; and instead of their parish allowances being Is. Itwas 9d. per week. In one instance, a man, his wife, and 10 children, received 9s. 6d. per week for the support of all of them ! As to the extent of distress, he had found the agricultural in. wrests had enough, but they were not so bad as the ma. uufacturing classes; all, however, including " small traders," were labouring under the severest difficulties. But all seemed to hope that, the DUKE would do something to re. lieve; them : the Duke, must do something, said they ; " Don't you think that the Duke trill do something ?" " No !" was my reply, said Mr. Hunt; the great DUKE will do nothing ; for there is na union amongst you to demand at his hands a redress of your grievances." Goternment would do nothing ! Mr. Hunt then mentioned that he was also at Wells, where there was some proof of the working of the tithe system. Twenty.five years ago, tithes that were rented at 2001. now were rented at 3,0001. At that place formerly he had to contend with his severest political opponents; he had now met with persons there who dealt out most freely what some persons would call treason —persons who, some time ago, started at being thought radicals, but who were now rebels--talk ing treason by wholesale. Mr. WETLAND,O3 the motion of Mr. Hu NT. was then called to the Chair. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL UNION. Mr. litsvrT, pursuant to notice, rose to move resolutions respect. Ing the Birmingham Union, and the adoption of a similar one in the metropolis. Much had been said about Mr. AttwoocPs " ef. fectual" Reform, and the non.introduction of RadicaL Now, Dr. Johnson defined "radical" to mean sotaething original, primitive; but effectual meant that which was complete. The Radical Reformers only wanted "complete" reform; and it would be complete if effec tual, or effectual if complete ; therefore, as a Radical Reformer, de sirous of promoting union amongst the people, he would not quarrel with the language of those who were ready to co-operate with the people, to get a redress of their wrongs, and the restoration of their rights. Some considered that Mr. Attwood was not sin. sere. He could only judge of that gentleman by his words and actions, and he, for one, was for trying him ; he should, therefore, wish to bee adopted in London Mr. Attwuod ' s plan for a Political Union, without altering one word of it.—(Applause.) An extra. ordinary crisis had arrived. The higher orders thought that the time had arrived when it became them to exert themselves; but, amongst the few efforts made for the people, one man in Par. liament was pre-eminent ; and when be alluded to the exertions of an individual so circumstanced, no doubt they were all awate that he meant that noble, patriotic, and distinguished individual, the Marquis of Blandford.—(Loud cheers, followed by three dis tinct rounds of applause and huuaa.) That excellent man was the descendant of one of our highest aristocratic families— of John, the great Duke of Marlborough—an individual who, In his day, had greater influence, as a commander and a minister, than even the Duke of Wellington himself.--{Hear, hear.) The Marquis of Blandfurd, if backed by the people, had the power of doing Immense The resolutions were then plat, and carried amidst the most enthu. elastic applause. Mr. limn' observed, on the subject of the last resolution, that, in consequence of his letter to the meeting a fortnight ago, he had received many letters from different gentlemen, expressing willing. nese to co-operate in the Metropolitan Union, now about to he established--(Loud applause.) TEE MARQUIS OF BLANDFORD. Mr. Hrramusorost said, he had a very difficult task to perform, and a rare oae too for a radical—to move thanks to a Member of Parliament ; but it was their duty to come for. ward and support the truly noble descendant of a noble house, who had said that he would resist any supply until the grievances of the people were enquired into—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord had exposed himself to the chance of being styled " factious," for they " called names" when they could not succeed by otlivr means ; but he was honest and courageous enough to do his duty, and prevented the Supply at half.past 12 o'clock at night—the time when the picking of pockets commenced at other places—{A laugh.) Speaking of the activity of tax.gatherens, he mentioned that he had learned from the Chairman of the Apothecaries' Company that 9,000 writs had been issued against apothecaries and others for selling soda-water, ate. without a stamp, the expense being three guineas each writ, and the mitigated penalty being U. each. Ile trusted that the people would have the resolution to emancipate their minds from such a state of things. He concluded with moving the following Resolutions : " I. That the Thanks of this Meeting are eminently due, and are hereby given, to the Marquis of Blandford, for the noble and constitutional stand he has made in the House of Commons on be half of the suffering people, in resisting the first attempt to form a Committee of Supply in this session, by moving, ' That no further supplies should be granted till the grievances and distresses of the people have:been redressed.' " 2. That the Thanks of this Meeting are also hereby given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq. who divided with the Marquis on that and on a subsequent occasion." " 3.:Thit a Copy of these Resolutions be forthwith transmitted to the members above named."— Loud applause. Ma. HUNT, In seconding these resolutions, eulogised the Noble Marquis for hie courage in neither being bullied nor cajoled in his place in the House of Commons, when he made his patriotic stand for the people. He could not let this opportunity slip of in forming the audience of another fact which he ascertained in his recent tour in the country. He had occasion, for bait. ing his horse, and refreshing himself, to visit at least two hundred public houses. On these occasions, it is always customary for the traveller to enquire for, or to be presented with the newspaper of the day. A few years ago the Courier.—" The Courier, Sir,"_ was handed on every occasion, and in every place. Last week, there was no instance, in which he could find that Government satellite ; and this must certainly be looked upon as a strong indica. tion of the change which had taken place in public opi. nion. The only papers in which the people could now find the:echo of their thoughts, and the advocacy of their cause, were the British Trareller and the STAa :—the latter was the paper, which be found the noble and patriotic Lord whom they now thanked as their friend, had adopted as the vehicle of his communi cations to his King and his countrymen; and since it had got into new hands, the cause of the people was ably and nobly advocated by those concerned in its management. Mr. GRADY, in a brief address, took a rapid view of the fallen 1 condition of the Whip, and the misnomered Whig Press. He con_ treated the conduct of the Tinses—A , the leading journal—the thun. deter".—at the present hour, respecting the dismissal of General Kiwo, with the course pursued by the same degraded print, a few years ago, on the dismissal of Lord Firs. He commented on the faders of the Courier in terms which drew down expressions of derision and contempt for the "organ." Mr. GRADY then con.' eluded by supporting the vote of thanks to the Noble MARQUIS and Mr. O'Costrxii.. The Meeting, after giving thanlui to the Chairman, three cheers for Lord BLANDFORD, and " three chess more" for AIL O'COtr• NELL, adjourned. Among the drawings by Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Rembrandt, left as an option to the King, Mr. Peel, and Lord Dudley, for 18,0001. are a few paintings by the old masters; for one of them, painted by Rembrandt (Joseph and Potiphar's wife), Sir Thomas Lawrence gave 1,800 guineas. The subject and the figures in this picture are rather disagreeable, but the drawing and colouring are exquisite. good for thclu ; and he, therefore, trusted that the people would The pupils of the Royal Academy had their first Con sist the Noble Lord all possible support—(Applause.)

THE [IRO V. RICHARD RADFORD ROR. Yesterday Al r.Roe was brought up In the custody of 311. Phillipe, one of the turnkeys of Newgate, and placed at the aide bar. The CHIEF JUSTICE, upon entering the Court, asked if Mr. Roe was in attendance? Upon his Lordship being informed that he was, he proceeded to pronounce the judgment of the Court. All the ertors assigned by the defendant's counsel were overruled; but with respect to the errors assigned .by Mr. Roe, himself, the court had taken them, into consideration, and deemed them to be of so much weight that, upon the authority of the use of the King against Price, they were of opinion that a common law punishment should be added to the punishment Axed by the statute.
