M. WALLER CLIFTON. EVENING STAR. LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 8. Our Foreign Intelligence of this day possesses not less interest than its great variety of impor tance on Saturday. We have arrivals from all parts of Europe. From Petersburg of the 30th ultimo, by which it appears that NICHOLAS M still alive, and that the cholera, having arrived at its crisis in eleven or twelve days, had begun to abate in the city, but raged with fatal virulence at Cronstadt, and in the whole neighbourhood. From POLAND we have THREE official die. roclien of SKREYNECKI, relative to his opera tions to clear the south-east of the Vistula, even to the Bug, of the Russians ; and the several ac tions were uniformly favourable to the Poles. With regard to PASKEWITSCH, he preserves a politic si lence, with a view to conceal his own plans of de fence and offence ; and in the meantime the reserve of the Berlin papers portends that, cut off from all communications, and having no magazines, the Russian army on the left of the Vistula is in no very promising position. To guard against contingencies, the Warsovians are improving their works of defence. &ERTEN ECM'S opinion of PaturzwitTscn's plan iR proved by his whole attention being directed to the opposite side of Warsaw. Arrivals from HOLLAND and BELGIUM put as in full possession of all events in both, down to Sunday morning. The RING of HOLLAND and his subjects appear to regard their cause as worthy of the favour of Heaven; and hence prayers, &c. are combined with the marching of troops, and the loyal declarations of the towns, and their H. M. the States-General. The Journals possess all the features of war, containing military hspaches, &c. The military ardour of the Orange family has carried the Prince in advance into the Belgic territory. BELGIUM is all alive to its own critical position, taken as it has been by surprise, even amid rejoicing and festivity on the arrival and instillation of its amiable new Sovereign. From France we bear no more of the new 51i- Listry. The old ones desire to try their strength cn the address to day ; and in the mean time, their ;!'ow of spirit, though without a French object, !:as invigorated the self-love of the people.— "f `'"S hope that a movement will not begin, l ithout something being gained to liberty in the progress or the ending. Above all, an advance into Belgium is an advance in the direction of Poland ! It is, however, not a little curious to observe, that the French editors are speculating on the ad vantage which may result from the occupation of ; while the Belgians express apprehensions of their allies, and desire to have the Dutch beaten, without the dangerous necessity of admitting the French. If we are to believe some of the Paris papers, 'he Iloly Alliance does not consider itself pledged support I..r.oroLD, only with the concurrence of fteir ally the King of HOLLAND ! If this be their agnistry then, on this Belgic Question, there will `^ a general war—Holland and the Holy Alliance, iqTainst Belgium, France, and England ! The LISBON MAIL merely confirms what we knew before—that Alto ut.t.'s meanness is equal t 5 his tyranny. But it is a very extraordinary incident, and one hich adds to Dutch perplexities, that having prri=oned his Eastern Colonies with Belgic troops, ti:ose at JAVA have declared for Belgium against tie KING of HOLLAND, and taken BATAVIA, Itith a view to the incorporation of that great and rili!al)l e Island and its dependencies, with the ls''l;l^ States ! This produces complex relations, it will he most difficult to unravel. _....___ Tl. , te are nine Sche___ dules to the Reform Bill and four of the most important and complicated' hare been disposed of, viz.— A.—The nomination Rotten Borongbs, wholly disfranchised. B.—Tbe greater Boroughs reduced from two Members to one. C.—The places enfranchised, by granting two Members. D.—The places enfranchised, by granting or Member. The Schedules yet to be passed ora— -1 P, which contains a list of 11 places, with which 41 smaller places are to be combined, for the joint choice of one Member for the places so united. G, is a list of 19 cities and towns which are counties in themselves, as London, Norwich, Not tingham, Bristol, &c. the proprietors of lands and tenements in which are to vote for the adjacent counties. H, is a list of 25 of the most populous conntiesl, which are to return four Members for each, or two I from each division which is to be made of the counties. 1, is a list of eight counties, which are to return three Members for each. These Schedules extend over 21 clauses of the Bill, which altogether consists of 52 clauses. The twenty-fourth fixed the £lO franchise, and the set tlement of this clause deeply affects the whole measure, and the rights of the people. We should be better pleased if it included ALL householders who had occupied any rated premises for a year previously, and this would be a middle course be tween the claims of the Aristocracy and the De mocracy; but if limited to TIN POUND houses, be it observed, that in the last amended and original Bill there was not one word about the period of payment—an impertinent and illiberal provision, which ought to be rejected by all parliamentary supporters of the Bill ; and if attempted to be passed, ought to be opposed by the whole nation. The original clause on this subject was in the fol lowing words : 24. "And be it enacted, that In all election of members to serve in any future parliament for cities and boroughs, every male person of full age, and not subject to any legal incapa city, who shall have occupied, 'as owner or tenant, for six calendar months next previous to the day of in the present year, or next previous to last day of August in any succeeding year, within any such city or borough, any house assessed to the duty on inhabited houses upon a yearly value of not less than ten pounds, or soy house, warehouse, or counting-house of the clear yearly value of not less than ten pounds, or bona fide subject to a yearly rent of not less than ten pounds, or which shall have been for the same time rated to the relief of the poor upon a yearly value of not less than ten pounds, and in respect of which house, warehouse, or counting-house respectively all the rents, rates, and taxes then due shall have been paid, shall, if duly registered according to the provisions hereinafter contained, have a right to vote for such city or borough; and that no persons other than such occupiers as aforesaid shall have aright to vote at any such election." If this clause require any alteration, it is in the words that rents, rates and lazes then due shall have been paid, for a political right ought not to depend on any question of pecuniary account ; and if made dependant on any contingency of that kind, it will often be baffled by circumstances and con trivances not within the power of the parties. A disputed account either with landlord or collector must be unjustly foreclosed, or the right of voting be lost ; a landlord may get out of the way so as to evade receiving, or an assessor may raise ques tions, or a vestry declare rates to be disputed, or the usage of an estate may have quar terly or half-yearly arrears, and yet all ques tions, of which scores may be stated, and all convenient usages or concessions are thus to be compromised, by a law altogether foreign to such points, and which ought in no way to be allowed to mix with them. But if the right were to de pend on this most impertinent condition, it would be a direct and constant incentive to bribery. Voters would be made by paying arrears, and the longest purse would always carry the election everywhere. Before an election, arrears would be systematically left for the purpose of being paid up by candi dates or some agent, and corruption would be kindness through bribery in one, and dire neces sity or craft in the other. The vote ought there fore to have no connection whatever with money, but should be a right vested in every £lO or other householder, who for the previous six months had been legally liable for the rent, or rated in the Parish or Collecting Books. The table of the Bill in working or in operation will almost entirely depend on the wording of this clause. Nothing is more easythan to give the abstract right to £lO householders ; but if any other con ditions are introduced and persisted in, the object must have a base purpose of some kind, adding of course nothing to the right, but affording a loop hole for premeditated abuse, trick, contrivance, and corruption.

CORONATION.—Tho preparations lire proceed ing with amazing rapidity, and the interior of Westminster Abbey now presents the appearance of • forest of beams.— One hundred workmen are daily employed. The Commons have claimed their right of being present at this august ee. remony, in ennseqoence of which the Government intended to provide 000 seats on either side of the choir. An addl. timid tier of galleries is to be erected in the transepts, the seats of which will be carried up obliquely, nearly to the height of the great oriel windows. From these seats the best view will be obtained, as their Majesties are to be crowned immediately in the centre. CLERICAICR. The Rev.

Madams D' Arenmnbert and suite, Mr. A. C. King, &e. &e. mooted in the same vessel. To-day his Majesty's mail packet Firefly, Captain Sher lock, arrived, with mall and passengers from Calais. It appears from the reports of the passengers, quite certain, that a very considerable force of French troops has crossed the Belgian frontiers. This delightful watering place is filling fast, and the pas. sage to the Continent has certainly of late increased. FALMOUTII, Aug. 6.—Wind, W. N. W.—Arrived, the Eneneser, (Arno, and the Plover, Peterson, from Plymouth; the Shannon, (steamer) Hutchins, from Dublin, find the American brig Leda (late Nicholls) from Alexandria ; Amens, 34 days, for Amsterdam; the Captain and Chief Mate died on the passage.

NA Y. A Naval Court-martial has been held, by order of Govern. meat, to inquire into the case of His Majesty's Steam. vessel Meteor, and the Harlequin Margate steam.pecket.— It appears, by the evidence adduced, that Lieut. Symonds, the Commander of the Meteor, was not in the slightest de. gees to blame. Lieutenant Symonds, indeed, comes out of the ordeal with distinguished honour. Rear-Admiral F. Warren has bun appointed to the corn. mud of the Cape of Good Hope station, which is to include the Mauritius, as well as the whole Western Coast of Africa. By this arrangement two Commodores will be dispensed with. The !tear-Admiral will hoist his flag on board the Isis.

Ilse Dublin, SO, Captain Lord J. Townshend, was towed out of Plymouth harbour on Thursday, by the Mes. seoger steamer, and sailed for the South American station on Tuesday.

The Onyx, 10, Lieutenant Dawson, arrived to-Jay from Rio Janeiro, whence abs sailed on the 9th June, with tree sure on board to the amount of 260,000 dollars. The whole of Bruit at the time she quitted was in a very unsettled state, six or seven assassinations taking place la the town of Rio daily. Admiral Sir Thomas Baker, the Commander. In-Chief on the station, had been ordered to the Cape of Good Hope on particular service, but had consented, after repeated petitions from the British merchants, to remain at Rio for their protection, until a ingate arrived from Eng. Lod, as the Warspite was the only British ship of war there. Commander J. lava, of the Satellite, has been removed to the Cruiser ; Commander J.

We ardently wish we could describe any im provement in trade, or productive. labour ; but, alas! the streets, the parks, and all the haunts of the unemployed, demonstrate the cruelty of the large farm monopolies, and the folly of narrowing the currency, while the national debt continues. There are those who propose relief by transporting the producers to the woods and deserts of diataut Iclime. ; but there are many who think that the no's-producers could be best spared. If there are too many people in a country, who but a madman would think of sending any away but those who only consume, or who are unable by labour to add to the public stock of necessaries or conveniences? We say correct the vices of that system, and then the more the better. If a town were about to undergo a seige, would the governor send away the able-bodied soldiers, or the loungers ? If a ship at sea were in a state of starvation, would the cap tain throw overboard the able-bodied seamen, while the passengers had chests of private stores ; and would he not, if a wise man, propose a better dis tribution ? In regard to this nation, if the number of farm houses were doubled, or only those rebuilt, which in half a century have been destroyed, we should bear no more of over-population, while none would suffer by the change. If we are to pay the interest of the debt, our currency ought to keep e ven*.pace with taxes, so as to facilitate transac tions, and augment the profits of industry. SECOND EDITION STAR OFFICE, H T PAST 3 u'CLock. Advices continue to dow in from the opposite coast, and we stop the press to add to the mains of facts given in the preceding columns. A Secosto HAMRUROH MAIL has just ar rived, and as the Polish news possesses special interest, we give place to a Letter from WARSAW, of the 25th In the present critical situation of the country it is not to to be wondered at that a feverish susceptibility prevails in the public mind here. Our Diet has of late held several sittings with closed doors, end a variety of reports are In circulation. Among others, it is said, that the measures of the Comman der-in• Chief have been severely censured, and that a concede war le to be immediately appointed to inquire into the general state of the country, and to endeavour to ascertain the eater t of the efforts and sacrifices which the country sill be re quired to make. The Russians were yesterday 20 miles (73 English) from Warsaw. They are pr. sling forward in t* columns, the one by the way of Howol and Bram, and the other by Lowiesek. Our fore-posts stand at Lublin: they are continually engaged with the enenl's cavalry. Wloclawsek was taken by the Russians after a.: obstinate detence made by the armed population. On ti e 10th oar cavalry had another obstinate battle with that of ti.e enemy at Bresesc, which was taken and re.taken several times. Our troops maittained themselves, and spent the night there. The armed population of the country is extremely active, and many individual cases of extraordinary heroism are daily occurring. The patroling parties and other small detachments of the enemy are continually cut off by our peasantry. The whole force steheßuasians on the left side of the Vlatula cannot exceed shows 20,000 men, and 50 pieces of moon. " In Galicia the Ragtime appear to receive the sans as sistance as In Prussia. At Leaub• rg every necessary mate rial is collecting to enable the Russians to construct a bridge over the upper part of the Vistula. On the 214 about 20,000 prisoners were at work at the foetiflcations. Women, children, and old men, abandon the labour ;of the day." A private letter from ANTWERP advises us that two Dutch steamers have taken a Be!gic fort, and that the Governor of Antwerp has sunk a large ship, to prevent the approach of the Dutch men-of-war. The Brittannia, 120 guns, just arrived at Ports mouth from the Mediterranean, has been ordered to the Downs. The French have laid an embargo on Dutch ships at Dunkirk. Marshal CLAUSEL has been ordered to take the command of the French troops at Strasburgh as a check on any movements of the Austrians, towards Luxenshurgh. A letter from Paris states that the Poles in that city are in high spirits, and augur much from the advance of the French Army even into Belgium. Despatches were this day received at the Forei g n Office, from Paris, Brussels, and the Hague. A Post-offioe Express arrived at two o'clock this afternoon, at the Foreign-office, from Dover. Several of the Cabinet Ministers left town this morning, in order to have an interview with the King, at Windsor. TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAR. Sin—l have this day been exceedingly graUfied at stein; some newly invented machinery for weaving, so calcuLted to remove the difficulties and distress of the poor hand louli weavers of Lancashire, that I cannot resist the desire to make it known by means of your excellent publication. To those of your readers who are not aware of the baneful effects caused by the establishment of steam looms, let them dwell for a moment on the dreadful sufferings they have so lately beard on every band about the distressed Irish, and I will aslant them that they do not, nor can they exceed the misery I have often, with sehing bean. wit nessed among the poor hand loom weavers in Lancashire. By the steam looms one person can attend upon two looms, and in general girls arc taught, and substituted fur the original weaver. By the new invention the original weaver canalise attend upon two looms. and not only attend to them but work them, and the labour is so easy, and the machinery so amazingly well adapted, that I am confident, if even the swam looms could be worked, without clamor. dinary expense, which they never can, the lisnd born weaver, with two of these new looms, would have the advents... The looms I saw weaving silk and broad woollen cloth, of the latter article I am not able to judge, but I think it must astonish every cloth weaver in the kingdom to hear that two broad cloth looms, each weaving twelve quarters wide, can be brought to be easy labour fur one man ; and if striking the weft up close and even be corsidered good work in cloth weaving, t hen it will be found good work indeed. lint I can speak to the silk, and as I understand aortic the master weavers from Spnalfields have been to tee them, I call upon them to say, if ever they saw better Three Singles wove than is now weaving in these looms; and I will take my oath that I stood by, tuullsaw half a yard wove front each loom, by one man, in los than half an hour ; and the weaver says, and I faithfully lifeline it. that lie cool weave 24 yards in twelve hours. Away then I say with nonsensical objections, the looms are to be seen and will speak for themselves. The proprietor can have no objec tion to let any interested person see thew, at least he did out obket to me, who am an entire stranger to him. The next question is how are the poor weavers to posses. thaw looms ? As • small capitalist I was, with many others, beat out of the cotton trade by the power looms, and turned silk manufacture-. I know, therefore, that to put these looms to the most beneficial purpose they should be given into the hands of the weavers at their own homes ; this would be restoring things to something like what they used to be ; the weavets would then have the benefit of good times, and could not be otherways than contented in bad. Bat, as I said before, how are they to possess the:: ; will they be kept like cite Fox with the Grapes? I trust not. I have wri ten to a Gentleman of Manchester, who has always shown himself zealous in their cause, and I hope when the maguitude of real good it wilt do, is fully sheon, such a benevolent feeling will be estaliltshed throughout the whole Bride's nation, as shall soon bad dsti.tnce to every difficulty inimicable to so noble • purpose.

The races at Lewes on Thursday were but very thinly attended horn this place, and the &Annan, to-day has exhibited a paucity apii.e as disuessing. The weather has been cloudy and unfavourable to the spirits. Thursday being the first day of the oyster sea.on, Billingsgate presented an unusual degree of bustle and confusion. The (lock and river were thronged with oyster-boats, which extended nearly as far as London-bridge. The fellowship-porters and others declared, that they never before recollected such un Untnense supply, and of so fine a quality. We are happy to say, that during the morning, although so much crowded, we did nut heal of accident. 1 k I r.. 11 a id of e a- ts )11 at al ir-
