f . 7, is f~ I ~~ With respect to the letters of the two noble lords, he did sot think that letters addressing thanks to an assemblage of 150,00 I men tended to discourage large meetings. (Hear.) He did not believe Government wished to encourage these proc;edings, though it was really extraordinary that they should have let the press pursue its course without uttering ooe :tend of disapprubation.—(Hear.) He did not think it prudent to allow a vast assemblage of people to go in a body to the Ring. (Hear.) He had discouraged a similar pro. reeding several years back. if Ministers allowed the disturb ances to go en. the only means of putting a stop to them in tile cud voted he. to call out the military, and then who would be responsible for the bloodshed ? He had told the peo ple not to be made the insuuments of party ; to let the ten. Found householders refuse the payment of taxes if they pleeled, hut that they who were radical reformers should not meddle with their proceedings. Since he had entered the !•ouee, he had heard that another accident—to use the expres s ea of the member for Middlesex—had occurred ; lie had heard that a policeman ha l been killed. Mr. LAMB said the report was not true. Mr. HUNT was glad of it. He considered the attacks on in ividitala to be cowardly and Windy (flair.) The people of England would never he guilty of them, unless they were I jil:«1 by some persons interested in the promotion of such d;turbances. He meted ministers would prevent the recur rence of these proceee,iegs. Mr. LAMB had been somewhat wounded by what had CT,. a from Honourable Gentlemen. He knew not on what grounds the Honourable Member for Boroughbridge Ministers of conniving with the disturbers. He chal lenged inquiry on this subject. The learned Member had alluded to the burning of Nottingham Castle ; but had Go vernment had time to prevent the occurrence of so sudden and unexpected an event ? Holding out to the public that 3liristere connived at the disturbances, was not a way et' putting them down. (Hear.) With respect to the report of a policeman having been murdered that evening, it was unfounded. He admitted that great losses had been occasioned, but decisive measures would be taken to prevent the recurrence of further outrages. (Hear, hear.) He re p toed exceedingly the attack made on the house of the Doke of Wellington, together with the outrage offeted to a noble lord, hut he did nit regret that the people should have been allowed to go in a body to the King. ( liver, hear.) Mr. WRANGH A M deprecated the language made use of by the member for Middlesex, with respect to the Op position, as it tended to excite the people against them. Sir G. WA RRENDER entirely acquitted Govern nt of any connivance at the disturbances He deeply re gret.ed the sp. ech of the member for Middlesex, who talked of the attack made on a peer of the realm, in which he hail been almost assassinated, as of an accident. He hopal. if the excesses continued, government would resort to .t legal commission. Mr. HUNT explained. I'4 TRENCH had been a witness to the proceedings of the triumphant procession of the Hon. Member for Middle. sex. He had seen it escort the carriage of the hon. member for .nme time, and then proceeded to the house of the Duke of IVellington, and committed on it a regularly organized attack. The respectably dressed persons, of whom the hon. member had boasted as assisting at the procession, were pre cisely those who encouraged the proceeding. He thought these great assemblag es should be discouraged, as they corn. promised the indepen dence of the Legislature. It would have been more to the credit of the hon. member had he requested the procession to entrust him with their petition, and to disperse, , 'Mr. HUME begged to explain. There was not a word of truth in the statement. (Order, order.) He (NIL II.) said the statement was all a mistake as regarded himself ; he had nothing to do with the procession, except receiving from it a petition to be presented by him to the King. He hind not meant in eish , g the word " accident," with respect zn the attack made on a noble lord, to denominate the cir ct mstance as trilling. Colonel TRENCH was understood to say, that he would hate an opportunity of returning his thanks to the honourable member. for his very rem courtesy. Mr. HUME had said that the statement as regarded him self was unfounded. Sir G. WA RR ENDER could assure his gallant friend that he, together with all those around him, had understood the hon. member for NI iddlcsex to mean nothing offensive.— ( Heat, hear.) Lord STORMONT said the hon. member should be called nn to rctract the expression. The SPEAKER said he had given a complete satisfactory explanation. Colonel TRRNCH expressed himself satisfied. Colonel SI ATHORPE deprecated the outrages which had been committed. Mr. MA RERLY said the great meeting which had taken place that day, entertained only peaceable intentions. The people bad a right to go and express their sentiments to the Kind, and he thought Government had acted very pru• dently in not preventing them from doing so. (Hear.) Mr. PAGET considered the persons composing the meet ings to have been much calusnr iated. The petition presented by Mr. Ruthven was then read, and ordered to be printed. LIvIRTOOL FRANCHIBZ. The Liverpool Franchise Bill, on the motion of Mr. BEN RTT, was read a second time, and ordered to be committed that day three months. hIr.VERNON moved, that a writ be ordered to issue for the borough of Liverpool. Mr. WASON moved, as an amendment, that no order be given fur the issue of the writ, until fourteen days after the rest meeting of parliament. Mr. CAMPBELL opposed the amendment, and Mr. DENETT supported it. Mr. GOULBURN thought the house was pledged not to issue a writ till the bill was disposed of. lle did tot consider putting off the Committee on the bill for three ronths was quite fair ; he should vote for the amend ment.—(Hear.) Lord ALT HOR P said he had voted against the issuing of ti.c writ in the expectation that the bill brought in by his lion, friend. (Mr. Benett,) would be disposed of during the present session ; that not being the Catie, he thought the writ rhou:d be no longer delayed, the effect of which would be to deprive Liveryool of one of is representative% during the whole of the neat session of Parliament.—(Hear.) Mr. FERGUSON: said the evidence proved that the , ct flagrant and general corruption had taken place at the Liverpool election, and he would never consent to isrue a writ to the same body of electors.—.(Hear.) Sir RICHARD VYVI . AN thought such a place as Li. verrool should he allowed to have two representatives, and s• no corruption was }roved to have taken place at the last election, be thrught the writ should iirsue.—(Hear.) Lord ING ESTRIE opposed the issue of the writ. Sir GEORGE WARRENDER opposed the issue of the writ. Liverpool had the misfortune of having a most corrupt het :y of electors ; there never was such a mass of corruption brought before Parhamen .—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUNT said the present question would show how reformers would vote. It was admitted that 4,000 of the electors were corrupt, and yet ministers were willing to send a writ to those corrupt electors.—(Hear, hear.) Would re. fornters consent to have their companions returned by such eon u yt electors ?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. D. II ARVLY said. that man was a suspicious re former who professed to think that the House could be pu rified by the oecaaisnal detection and punishment of cor ruption in particular places. The bill that passed that House would purify all the boroughs of the kingdom ; but he al. ways looked with suspicion on the hypocritical pretensions to I It; form which would punish such detected cotruption as had hen proved against Liverpool, merely fur the purpose of de • ' lading the people, and assuming purity for the purpose of perpetuating corruption. (Hear, hear.) Mr. VCR ANGHAM could not pretend to be so great a Reformer as tra.l in that House ; but he could not for a moment consent to leave the elective franchise with a body proved to be so intainously corrupt as the electors of Liverpool. The House divided— Ayes ... Noes .. .. Majority The writ was then issued. BANKRUPTCY COUILT BILL.. . 26 The order of the day being read for resuming the debate on the Bankruptcy Court Bill, .lr. W A RBUItTON said, it was admitted by all who sp..ke on the question, that the court of 70 commissioner was capable of much improvement ; but after a comparison,l he thought the fees payable under the new bin were greater than under the present practice, sod that if the bill were to Fos in its present state, the mercantile world would be weedy disappointed. (Hear.) He thought the appoint ment of four Judges for a Court of Review wholly imams nay, and that a single Judge would be much better, as it would secure greater ability and attention. The expense of workings commission, where the assets were 8001. would, under this bill, amount to 501. under the old system it wu 451. Under the present system there were but two appeals from the commissioners ; under the bill there would be four appeals, which must increase both delay and expense (Har.) As a commercial man he could not support the bill. He thought a committee ought to be appointed to inquire and bring in a bill. He would admit that there would not be the same uncertainty under the bill, as at present. He gave the noble lord full credit fnr having introduced the bill, which he was confident would lead to a remedy of all the existing abuses. If the bill did not pass this session, he should, when next it was brought forward move for refer• , int it to a committee up naps, where merchants and corn. ' mercial men might be examined. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. SMITH regretted exceedingly that his hon. friend opposed the Bill. He also believed that it would lead to a remedy of all the existing abuses in bankruptcy, and for that reason should support it. He believed that in the cue of the bankruptcy of Howard and Gibbs, indeed he was con fident that if it had bees well administered, Howard would have had a large surplus, instead of being, as he now is, lan guishing in poverty. He was disposed to accept the present Bill becatpke it proceeded from a mind the most rich, the most enlightened, and the most powerful known in this country ; animated by the purest and most fervent desire to benefit his fellow citizens. (Hear.) Slr. FRESHFIELD contended, that with such machi nery as was manufactured by this Bill, it would be imp*. aible to work a commission. Mr. HUNT expressed the hope that the Blinisters would not press, at so advanced a period of the Session, a measure that evidently required so much consideration. it would be an expensive measure, and he did not ice what benefit the suitors would derive from it. Mr. G. BA NKES said, as it appeared to be admitted on all hands that this was not a complete measure, that there must be a sunplt tnental Bill, why press it at this period of the Session ? The Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee. Sir C. WRTHERELL seconded the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL in reply, contended that the measure would be most beneficial to the rummer. cial interests of the country. After some further conversation between Mr.TREVOR, Lord ALTHORP, and Mr. PEMBERTON, the &bans was adjourned. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Three. contains the order of the day of the Prince of Orange, announcing the prolongation of the ar mistice for fifteen days, at the special request of the Plenipotentiaries of the five great powers, as sembled in the conference at London. VIENNA, OCT. 16.—News from Cracow, dated the 24th ult. was received here to-day, announcing that a division of Rudiger's corps had entered the territory of the republic, and the city of Cracow itself, the territory having been previously violated by armed bands of the insurgents belonging to the defeated corps of Rozyzki, who did not lay down their arms. On this the Polish corps dispersed and fled in all directions, and Generals Rozyzki and Kamenski, with a numerous suite, crossed the frontiers to Gallicia. Other bands have entered the Austrian territory at several points, near Oswienice, Podgorae, Niepoloniece, &c. and have there laid down their arms. Prince Czarto ryski and General Skrzynecki are now in Gallicia. --It is affirmed that news has been received to-day from Brunn that the cholera had re-appeared there. The disorder seems to abate here, which may partly be ascribed to the favourable weather. The Emperor continues to manifest the most affec tionate regard for his subjects in these unfortunate circumstances. The day before yesterday he visited some of the hospitals containing cholera morbus patients, and convinced himself of the excellent arragements in them. The Arch- Dukes come to the city almost every day. The Austrian Observer says that only a part of Ro zyzki's corps succeeded in reaching the Austrian territory, the remainder, being prevented by the combined movements of General Rosen and Ru diger. had dispersed. THE EVENING STAR. r'OREIGN INTELLIGENCE. EXPRESS FROM PARIS.—THIS DAY. PA►tta, OCT. 10.—We are assured that the Chamber of Peers, emboldened by the example of the Peers of England, will reject every project, coming from the Chamber of Deputies, which will not grant hereditary right. The amendment of M. Jay having been rejected by 324 sgaiast 86, the Chamber will discuss to day the amendment of M. Taste. That amend. ment consists, in two worth, to save the hereditary by giving it a sot t of electoral sanction; at the decease of a Peer, his son to succeed him, on the condition of having his title confirmed by the electoral colleges of the department to which ho belongs. The Chamber decided to-day that it would oc cupy it,elf with the question on the hereditary peerage. Neither precedents nor logic indicated tbAt proceeding in the deliberation ; but it would be wrong to believe that the opposition stands for any thing in that question of priority. The im pudence to determine a grave difficulty alone de cided the Chambs r. As to the hereditary peerage it was rejected by a very strong majority. Thus a question is found decided which passion could not be prevented from seizing, in spite of their good will. The five Ministers voted with the majority. —France Nouvelle. The question of the hereditary peerage has been decided as we foresaw and announced, by a rejec tion ; but the majority in favour of the non-here- 1 ditary has surpassed general expectation. The enormous scrutiny of 324 black balls against 86 white balls : difference 238. Is it that it was a revolutionary question, and that it was impossible that it could be resolved any other than revolu tionary by the Chamber of 1831? It results from that vote, that of 410 voters, 324 have voted against the ministerial plan, for that plan was and remains to the end, favourable to the hereditary.— Thus behold the power of July deprived of that hereditary Chamber, which its organs had repre sented as an indispensible rampart to its existence ; thus behold the peerage struck to the heart, and which must decide to vote its own suicide, or to make a schism with the Chamber of Deputies.— Quotidienne. We are assured that the treaty of peace between Belgium and Holland has been definitely arranged by the Conference of London, and that it has ad judgrd - to King William Limbourg and nearly the whole Duchy of Luxembourg. It is added that that project, which sill leave Belgium with out frontiers on the side of Holland, and cause to disappear, as to France, the advantages which had been promised from ee neutrality of Belgium, by I opening Luxembourg to eventual coalition, already obtained the assent of the Cab.net of the Palais Royal.—Journal du Commerce. POI-AN n.—They write from Warsaw, that city pre.ents the aspect of a vast bivouac; everywhere advanced posts and patroles. The fortifications of Warsaw will be rased.—Constitutionnel. The organization of the kingdom of Poland is now known. We now publish the ma nifesto of the Autocrat, who extends his iron arm over that unhappy country. Thus, all that terri tory named Poland, that land so fruitful in gene rous actions, is no more than waiwodies of the Russian empire. In vain diplomacy, to excuse that unworthy betraying of Poland, had promised to intercede and obtain it. There is not even granted to that country, after eight months con test, after so many sacrifices, the rights guaran teed by the treaties of 1815. From the terms of that treaty, the members of the government should be all Poles. The Ukase of Nicholas viilates that at ticle, for the half of the members of the govern. ment which he institutes will be Russians : and as they are five, n hich comprises the President, it is clear that that president being Russian, two other Russian members also, there will remain only two Poles, which can do nothing against three Russians; and again, what Poles will be made choice of to execute the will of the Autocrat? Those whol-ave been always servile. That violation of the treaty is nut sufficient. In case the provi sionarygovernment should show itself too generous towards Poland, a Dictator is placed above it, to control all its acts. That is, Field-Marshal Pas kewitsch, the conqueror of Warsaw, whose sword will always remain suspended over that unhappy country, and weigh in its destinies like the sword of Brennus in the balance of Rome. It is then entirely a military government, which is sitting upon the ruins of Polish liberty ; it is the govern ment of absolutism and force, the government of barbarism. And this is what that intervention of the French Cabinet has produced, that powerful mediation announced such so much kW from the throne ! —Tribune. Tui HAGUE, Ocr. B.—The Oficial Gantt, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 13. Owi O'CLOCK, THIS DAT.-111LTMOMettf, 66. Ba rometer, 29.67. Weather, cloudy, with rain. Wind S. The panic created by the rejection of the BILL is to-day beginning to subside—considering the effect merely as a panic ; but the excitement of in dignation is tar from having abated, and will not be likely to be terminated for some weeks. The people, both in Town and Country, have been doing all that was possible to convey their sentiments to the National Authorities ; and these have happily responded, so as to give additional confidence to all the friends of Reform. In other parts of our Paper, we have detailed the various proceedings from the Metropolitan Corporation of London, and the meeting of her Merchants this day, down to the energetic patriotism of many smaller towns, and the Union of the Working Classes, who meet at the Rotunda. All concur in the same sentiments indignation against the Lords and Bi,hops—prayers to the KING to re tain his Ministers and further the object—with declarations of confidence in the zeal and good faith of Ministers. That their labours have not been lost, is demon strated by his MAJESTY'S formal answer given on such occasions in writing, to the address of the Corporation of London. We have printed it accurately in another column ; and it deserves to be carefully studied by all friends of the Bill ; for it gives every assurance of support, in terms consistent with the peculiar situation of the execu tive authority, in regard to acts of the conjoint le gislature. We infer from this answer that his MA I EST s's Privy Council concur in the wishes of the Cabinet Council of his Ministers ; for to that council, as his constitutional and responsible advisers, he very properly referred the propositions submitted to him by Lord GEZT, in that nobleman's interview on Monday. His own concurrence was cheerfully yielded ; but, as a matter of form, he discreetly re quired the assent of the Privy Council, and of this I a very numerous meeting took place yesterday. In corroboration of the preceding statement we discover the immediate retirement of Earl Howa and several other persons, who are well known to have busied themselves, in opposition to the BILL, but who had been graciously continued in their situations, till opposition became an offence, both to Kin° and PEOPLE. Then, whatever may be promulgated to the contrary, we also attach some importance to the retirement of Lord PA LM E RSTO , who, though he has with the good faith of a Minister, voted for the BILL in the Commons, yet by education and connection, could never have been considered as a thick-and-thin Reformer. Probably the vote of the House of Lords may have disturbed his affinity to his colleagues ; but the circumstance will in no degree be regretted by the public, since whatever may have been the sedulous attentions of his Lordship, the march of intellect has been least conspicuous in the diplomacy of the country, since the formation of the present Adminis tration. The disastrous result of the affairs of Po land—the complication of the Belgic question—the Austrian interference in Italy and, above all, the toleration of such an usurper as MIGUEL, I are features of our foreign affairs which have ill accorded with the liberal principles of the Ad ministration and of the age. At the same time, it ought to be fairly conceded to his Lordship, that the first question in our foreign rela tions is, the power of our finances to main tain any course which a foreign Minister may advise; and perhaps this limit would have operated equally against any other minister, more strictly whiggish than his lordship. We may hope from this beginning, that a more general change will take place, than has hitherto,we suppose, been considered expedient. The public expect it, desire it, demand it, and insist upon it: the endurance of tones and sieves of Pitt, Dundee, Sidmouth, Liverpool, Castlereagh, Canning, Perceval, &c. &c. in every department of official trust, is a scandal to the Government and the nation ; and gives more offence to public I I feeling than any circumstance whatever. The beads of departments have, as Statesmen, been pledging their characters in favour of Reform, and of all liberal principles ; while their official agents, through two or three degrees, are well-known, and even the avowed enemies of the policy of their supe riors ; and not only engaged in circumventing it, but in corresponding with their political enemies. The parish of Mary-la-bonne strictly expressed the sense of the public, when it demanded the imme diate dismissal of the Tory Lord-lieutenants ; and if their continuance in office was not so palpable an abuse, every meeting through the country would express the same sentiments as that enlightened parish. In regard to the riot Derby and Nottingham we may observe, as some apology for the first, that they were provoked by an indecent exaltation of a few hot headed partisans of the Tory faction ; some of whom are to be found in every town, and thrive by their obsequiousness to the Tory Aristocracy of the vicinity. In regard to Nottingham, public spirit is always at its height among that active and dense popu lation. Those who break the peace are, of course, criminal ; but those are chiefly to blame who so grossly insulted the country, by tho late rejection. One circumstance will deeply interest the intellectual portion of the nation, who have sympathized in the first love-affair of Lord BYRON—the Mrs. MUSTERS, wife of Colonel Musteas, who it is stated died of fright, was the beautiful female who Lord BYRON has cele braied in so many affecting verses. She has for some years been known to be in a very delicate state of health: and nothing was more likely than that the outrages of the infuriated Nottingham populace would produce so fatal an effect u that assigned. Another Post will no doubt bring a cor rect account of all the circumstances of this un happy occurrence. The very seasonable speech of the CHANCEL- Lon last night, of which we have given the most accurate report, has tended, together with the Kix o's answer to the City, to restore confidence at the Stock Exchange, insomuch that the funds have been rapidly rising through the morning ; and from 791, to which they had f.llen on Monday, they have again advanced to 81h, and even to 81h, being about the price at which they stood before the late folly of the Peers and Bishops. Exchequer Bills have also got up from 4 and 6to 8 and 7. At the same time, part of this effect may have arisen from the payment of the Divideads ; but it proves confidence in the Administration, since, instead of being hoarded, they are promptly re-invested in Public Securities. Our Express from Pangs various papers ; but they are occupied chiefly by speculations about the Rejection of the Reform Bill ; and on the disastrous consequences which would result to all Europe, if the present Ministry were in consequence to retire, and the Tories, who have shed so much blood, and inflicted such multiplied injuries on the world, were again to have the opportunity of abus ing the power and resources of these kingdoms. Happily these forebodings are rendered abortive by subsequent events ; and the certainty that the Tory faction have no chance of regaining power during the life of WI tuass THE Fol., RTII, will be as gratifying to France and all Europe, as it is to the people of England. The French have been as deeply interested as ourselves in the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies on the question, whether their Peerage shall be hereditary ; and though the debates are not yet brought to a final close, yet some important divisions have taken place, which will be found among our extracts from the jour nal& The hopes of liberty, as will be seen, are crushed in Poland; and the uncontrollable reaction of wily despotism is now displayed in that cruelly neg lected and compromised country. We have Belgian an tch papers this morn ing to the 12th inst. They are entirely occupied with details of the marching and exercising of va rious detachments of troops; and accounts of the visits of King LEOPOLD to Verviers, &c. A de structive fire bad broke out in Spa, which is reported to have consumed sixteen or seventeen houses. This afternoon, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Coun cil, consisting of the whole thirteen Members, assembled at the Foreign Office, in Downing street, where they continued in deliberation for a considerable tune.
