Tne House was lighted with the extra chandeliers, and their Lord ships met pursuant to summons for the purpose of advancing the Rt.- gency Bill. Lord LYNDHURST, after some private conversation with Earl Grey, moved the order for going into Committee upon the Regency Bill. The House accordingly resolved itself into Committee. In consequence of the absence of the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Rosalyn officiated as Chairman of the Committee. After the Bill had been read, clause after clause, and several verbal amendments had been , introduced by Lord Lyndhurst, it passed through the Committee without the least opposition, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday. REFORM IN THZ SCOTCH MOILOUOIIS. Lord WHARNCLIFFE promoted a petition from the merchants and members of the Corpsßadom 1 Perth, praying for reform in the made of electing members Smelt Boroughs .

Earl GROSVENOR, presenting a petition against negro slavery, said he had been requested to ascertain wh e ther the question of the en tire abolition of slavery, would be brought early under the considers. don of Parliament ? The noble Earl repressed a hope that the question would be taken up during the present Session ; but he could not sup pose that it would take precedence of the many highly important sub teats then pressing upon Parliament. He should suggest that a Com mittee be appointed to Inquire whether slavery could be abolished its tote, or whether it could continue under modification. He thought their Lordships had information enough before them to act upon the question. Petitions to the same effect were presented by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Bute, Lord Wharnclife, and the Mar quis of Cleveland. The House then adjourned. BOROUGH OF MARLBOROUGH. Select Committee of the House of Commons for the purpose of trying the petitions of Sir Alexander 'inlet, Ban. and John Mirehouse, Req. complaining of the Election fur the Borough of Marlborough.— Friday, Nov. 26, 1830. Sir Robert Peel, Bart. Chairman. Mr. J. H. Cole Mr. W. T. Peel Mr. G. R. Robinson Mr. Foley Sir John Wrottealey Sir M. W. Ridley Mr. B. L. Lister The Earl of Ruston Mr. D. S. Hugel&le Lord Killeen Counsel for the Petitioners—Mr. Harrison, K.C. Mr. Set jeant Mere. wether, and Mr. Telford. For the Sitting Membas—Mr. Addam and 31r. Rogers. After the petition had been read, the case was opened by Mr. Harrison, who, in his address to the Court, which was of consider ble length, entered into its merits, from which it appeared that from time immemorial the town of Marlborough possessed the privi. ley of returning members to Parliament, and that charters end pri. vllegus were from time to time granted them, but which bad since been considerably diminished by the encroachments made upon them by the corporate bodies; this body consisted at present of about II persons. The town in 1821, deducting houses not applicable to eke d= Malmo, contained about 400. Scene of these 11 was tenants to a noble lord in the neighbourhoods but the corporation Is more ef.. l factually in the hands of Mr. Merryman, a solicitor of the place, andl his family. The party who conceived they had a right of voting offered their votes, but were refused admission ; and so far was these exclusive rights carried, that the candidates were compelled to propose themselves. The last determination as to the panda in whom the right et voting was vested, appeared by a decision of the House in 1717. The in which led to it began in 1718, and from that determinadon the right was vested in the mayor and burgesses of the borough only. The Learned Gentleman then went into the definition of the point es to the term burgess, or burgher, and cited many ancient authorities to prove that it meant the inhabitants or householders, who paid the taxes, of any town or city where they might reside ; therefore the um of the term burgess could not mean to give the rights to a particular or self. elected class, but to the householders of the town generally, who paid the taxes, Az. These points were urged in order to give authority to the prayers forming this peculiar ease. In 1585 the Queen's trained bend was formed in Marlborough, when 274 men were enrolled for military service, but the burgesses were only 72. In 1601,there appeared on the muster-roll 345, which would produce 100 burgesses, or men capable of paying the usual payments. In the list he had, it appeared that in 1524 the mayor and council consisted of 21, the burgesses 54; in 1532 the mayor and council consisted of 24, 1 'the burgesses 57; in 1614 the mayor and council consisted of 16, the burgesses 75; and in 1740, the burgesses of 12. The list came down to a very late period, showing the gradual reduction in the number of common burgesses. A number of old documents and witnesses were produced, for the purpose of proving that the rig of vedng lay in the general body of the burgess or inhabitant hou seh olders paying the customary town pay ments, and not the select body under the head of the mayor and corn. mon council, and it was strongly amended, on the part of the petition ers, that the Charter of incorporation not taking place till the time of Queen Elisabeth, and which Omar embodied all - the former ones, the previous rights could not be superseded by it, and Charters are in ge neral granted for the purpose of rather increasing than diminishing ex isting On the other hand it was very ably contended by Mr. Annex sad Mr. Ronnie, for the sitting members, that as the whole question lay on the definition of the term burgess, as alluding to the party who bad a right of voting, and as thedecision 0f1717 was that on width they had to wooed themselves, that that term could only be applicable to such as had been properly admitted and sworn as of the body or the mayor and council, or select burgesses, and not on the general and indefinite term given it by the other party, and quoted a variety acmes, and produced a great body of evidence, to prove their point. The immense mass of evidence produced, and the length of the ann. menu upon it, protracted the decision for four days: but after the reply of Mr. Hanalsow, who laboured hard to prove the term burgess in his favour, soon alter three o'clock th e committee came to the fol. lowing decis ion : That having considered the written statement, of the petitioners and the sitting members, they decide that— The sitting members are duly elected, and that the petition is neither I frivolous nor vexatious. 5i 0 6 STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

We regret to find that a disposition to disturbance has been mani fested in some parts of this county, in consequence of an opinion enter tained amongst the labouring class, that a free export of provisions from one pan of the country to another is injurious to the interest of those parts in which more may be produced than is necessary for the consumption of the inhabitants. On Tuesday se'nnight, as some f.r. men were conveying a quantity of wheat to 51evagissey for shipmzut that place, in order to its being sent to an eastern port, a number of persons, chiefly compelled of nonten and boys, collected, and expressed their displeasure at the measure. The persons employed in conveying the wheat became irritated, and resorted to blows, which were returned by the sturdy female dealers in fish, with which the place abounds; and the husbands, brothers, Ac. of the Amazons coming to their asist anee, a general scuffle ensued, which ended in the ripping up of a nun!. her of the sacks, and the scattering of the wheat, which they were in;- wining theie-adient-essiantlenots Aould elt;*abOut the streets. Abiint forty Cornish, or one hundred and twenty Winchester bushels, were thus destroyed. The neighbouring magistrates repaired to the place as speedily as possible, and they succeeded in rescuing the remainder of the corn from the mob, and in lodging it in a house In the town. This week there was a part • al rising of the workmen in some of the mines in the neighbourhood of St. Austell, in order to prevent the shipment of wheat at Fowey. But being met by some of the neighbouring gentle. men, who reasoned with them on the folly and the evil tendency of their conduct, they were induced to return to their labour. HAMPSHIRE. POITIMOUTII, Nov. 29.—We have a very great population, and I must say their conduct has been most praiseworthy. A few squibs have been written by some school-boys, and in some instances threatening lettets ; but they are considered as from individual to individual. ETILON ANOTAZR CORRZSPOWDENT.I The troops mentioned in my last as just embarking for the Tale of Wight, together with HI more sent this day, have been distributed in va. rious parts of the Island. Symptoms of discontent are becoming forcibly alarming there, a fire having occurred near Newport on Saturday, when about 70 tons of hay belonging to Mr. Butler, a farmer , were destroyed. Neitey every farmer in the island having received letters of a threaten. ing nature, it had been considered necessary to divide the soldiers among the different villages, to aid the civil power, if necessary. " Our maid," who saw a fire-ball in the harbour, and a fire at Porehester, must have been dreaming. Lord Gage has written a letter to a morning paper re. specting the charge made against him of employing a great many la bourers at its. a-week, they, at the same time, receiving 3s. &week from the parish. The " Brighton Guardian" stated, that at a recent meeting lof labourers this charge was preferred, and that Lord Gage did not eon. tradict it. No such imputation was made at the meeting in question, and the occurrence upon which this ,calumny is founded actually took place two years ago. "In 1828, the overseer of lttngmer applied to my woodreeve to assist him, by giving some employment to two lads who were on his hands, receiving pa pay to theamount of 3s. per week. This the woodreeve agreed to n do, and engaged with the overseer to pay Ss. pa week for them. So far (says 'Lord Gage) the libel is true, but it should have been added, that upon my steward settling the account he reprimanded the reeve for not having given more, and or dered him immediately to pay the lads 7s. 6d. and 161. making 11. Od. each additional for the two jobs in which they had been engaged, and then est them on at 3s. per day, making altogether a weekly average of Bs. Bd. for the time they wee employed by me, and which was fully as much as sny lads of thdr age and skill were, at that time, able to earn in the pettsh of 'linguist." RESTORATION OF COMPARATIVE TRANQUILLITY IN KENT. There have occurred since my last communication, two circumstances which have materially contributed to produce a cessation et the outrages which have disgraced this county for a period now extending to almost the last three months. It is to this county that the Mosinee must be placed in scanuit—edther the incendiaries were " men of East," or the magistrates, and those whose duty it was to preserve taisquillity and vindicate a due respect for the laws, have failed in the pseforniance of that duty ; in either case the county must bear its share of the disgrace which attaches to these proceedings. The circumstances alluded to are, the proclamation offering a reward for the detection of the incendiaries, and the apprehension of the rioters in the tumultuous assemblages, and the severe (but necessarily so) punishment Inflicted on those who were convicted at the Canterbury sessions last week. It is true, as was stated in the House of Lords by the Earls of Eldon and Winchiliea, that the peasantry were not aware of the extent of punishment to which they had subjected themselves in forming part of the mobs that went about de stroying property, and demanding increase of wages; and the terrible certainty brought home to them by the sentences pronou ced on Friday, in Canterbury, has given the first shock to their daring proceedings. It was feared at first that the labourers would have Deanne only more ex asperated from the extent of these entente.; but the effect they have produced is a confirmation of a statement in one of the earliest of your communications, in which the supineness of the magistrates is stated as the cause of the great sod extensive series of outrage which pervaded the whole of the county of Kent, and at cow l: extended into more than twelve of the southern and midland Since Thursday night these has not been a single instance of burn. log in the eastern division of the county, and the letters from other parts of Kent (Maidstone Cranbrook, &e.) are silent u to the com. mission of outrage in thes e: quarters. There have been no committals to fit. Augustines gaol since the same time, and it is said that the in. tendon of telling out the yeomanry again, which was never in much favour among the farmers, will not now be persevered in. The system of watch and ward, adopted in most of the parishes, is still maintained at considerable expense. Connected with this, it is not a little singu lar that, although patrols have been sometime established on the roads In all directions, net a single detection of an incendiary has taken place. The true secret of the fires, perhaps, is, that fellows having the motive of private revenge against individuals, avalkd themselves for its grati. fication of the state of disturbance in which the agricultural meetings had plunged the districts—revenge was gratified, terror was inerms and, what might have been easily checked at its commencement, has become almost an epidemic. The &mien have turned their whole energies against the tithe sys tem ; and the tithe owners, with a wise precaution, have, in most in stances, met the re.aetion against the system by a redaction in the amount. Petitions against them have been very generally adopted In the various parishes of Kent, and are numerously signed. The Petition from Cranbrook, which consists of 12,000 acres, and has a population of 4,000 persons, the great majority engaged in agricul ture, is of considerable importance. It sets out by suiting " that within the period of a few years only, prosperity and comfort existed throughout the parish—the farmer found a ready market, and obtained remunerating prices for his prodoce—he paid his rent, his tithes, his taxes, and his tradesmen's bills, and with cheerfulness. The labour ing classes, moreover, were contented and happy, sad, conscious of their dependence, were orderly and mpectful their demeanour." The petition then describes the gradual alteration of this state of things for the worse. In the parish of Lewisham, a petition against Tithes is in course of signature. In the parish of Chilham the occupiers of land hare adopted the fol lowing Resolutions:--" That Al r. Tykien should be requested to take off%) per cent. from the Small Tithes ; that if he did nvt comply with that request, he might seize their effects ; and that if he did ►else, in future he should take all his tithe in kind." Other parishes are about to adopt a similar plan. In other places the clergymen have met the wishes of the faunas. The Rev. Charles llardinge has reduced the Vicarial Tithes of Tun. bridge 10 per cent. Other clergymen have returned to, 10, and in two or three instances 20, per cent. to the farmers, at their Tithe Audits. Turesainott Wzmo.—On Thursday tea shoot Ave o'clock, a small stack of hay, belonging to Thomas ilseidag, , Esq. beaker. is this town, was discovered to be on lire. The stack was situated in a field near Speldberet Workhouse, at &shall Comma It was entirely consumed. A reward of fifty pounds has been of foe the diem very of the perpetrator. Cilesuess, Nov. 29.—This afternoon an express arrived hem hose the Zed df Darnley to Cowart Sir Mehl Middle far military seelatanee, and immediately aletaehment of infantry under the iteat- 1 mend of hientenant-Colonel Snodgrass, and a troop of_ ;he Scotch Over, marched for Cobham.hall, the seat of th e Noble Mn;l it was said that LINCOLNSHIRF.. Louts, Nov. 29.—Since writing the annexed, I have just heard of two incendiary fires, one at South Reston, Mr. Masers, where nine corn stacks were destroyed yesterday morning; the other at Swabey. where the whole of the corn stacks, I am informed, are destroyed. The loss to Mr. &Uwer is about 6001. Mr. Kemp•s loss (of Swabey) I ham: not ascertained. ALronu, Nov. 29.-1 am sorry to be under the unplea.ant neces. any of saying that a large quantity of corn wu consumed yesttwday morning, a few utiles from this place. STAMFORD, Nov. am sorry to say ours may now be cunsi. dered as a disturbed district--the county of Huntingdon, and within eight miles of Stamford, was in riot on Saturday, but the pe.uouttry's object at present is only for destroying thrashing machines. The villa gers of Sawtry and Alconbury are the ringleaders, and I lament to say have reason for complaint, being irregularly employed, and wages very low. We believe the town of Oundle is in riot to-day, the poor there are badly managed. About fifty horsemen are just returned from Oundle, and the result is, that no damage wa s done. The riot was caused by a set of drunken characters, who spend their time in public houses. Sir J. Trollope and about a braced men on horseback proceed ed from this place to disperse the rioters, and came up with an armed body, who h i :l os c i atured about twenty of them. They were l o d ge d safely In Hondo on gaol. The mob attacked the gaol at Oundle. and made some on a part of the prison, but by timely assistance were driven of, and the prisoners made secure. Eight of the ringleaders were taken and seas m Northampton gaol ; and in the county of Hants other captures were made, which made a t ot a l of fo rt y.f our I captured. SPILSBY, Nov. 29—The fires hare increased in this. neighbour hood. lam sorry to say at Irby, near this place, a haystack was fired on Tuesday evening; she, at Swaby, a conside rable quantity of pro perty has bees destroyed, belonging to Mr. Kemp. of the value of 1001. At Reston, a village about three miles south of Louth. nine stacks of sass, Az. were oosummed, value about 9001. the property of Mr. Moore; this is supposed to have originated in malicious revenge, Mr. Moore having some time ago laid game informations. TIN MINES OF THE DUCHY OF CORNWALL. The sale of these important mines produced an extraordinary sena". don, and the Brat room at the Auction Mart was crowded beyond mea. sure it ahottfd /OM as if the whole gppaladon pf Cornwall had con. gregated on this iMportant occasion. /be siMie dine put the change in misdates, and the previous excitement, had abated the zeal of ',pecu lators. On Thursday last it appeared as if all their energies on a acrd. den were restored, for a competition was produced such as we have rarely witnessed. Mt. George Robins played the principal pert in this important drama, and when the curtain rose, he had to boast of an au. diet= that the winter theatres would be delighted with in the sombre month of November. He stated that the tin mines extend throughout the whole Duchy of Cornwall, but the ill state of health of the late proprietor had prevented his putting forth all his energies, and for the lest two years they have been almost at a stand still. This was well known to the long-headed gentlemen Prom Cornwall, and, releing upon this as a fair excuse for deteriorating its value, many ques. dons were put with • view to elicit from Mr. Robins the precise annual income. He avoided this with no little tact and ingenuity, explained why it bad not been eminently successful, and concluded by proclaiming it would proves mine of wealthodding that he had very little doubt that In twenty years, with a corresponding capital to begin with, it would not merely prove a mine of immense gain, but he doubted if the income would not approximate upon a large revenue which the great Mr. Rothschild was known to ponces. The profits for ten years past (from the circumstances before alluded to), did not exceed 500 L a year. He, however, had no doubt that it would quickly pro. gress until 90,0001. a year could be realized. The first offer was .0,000 guineas ; and the Cornish folks, who, it is known, travel by the safcty coach (meaning thereby, are ray wary), bid 1,000 guineas at a bidding until it reached 15,000 guineas, and then proceeded, 500 guises' at a time, until it reached 18 500 guineas, at which it was finally knocked down. This•valuable lease was granted by the late King. to right of the Duchy and as Duke of Lancaster, and it is whispered has again become the property of the Crown. Some mining copper shares were afterwards sold, the profits of which appear to be immenae • it is called " the Weal Leisure.," and Mr. Robins showed a favourable re turn of nearly 100 per cent. on the original capital. 1101 3 DUTY.
