It clears all cutaneous eruptions, spots, pimples, redness, blotches, (and even actually clears itching pimples). Persons subject to I,:presr, King's Evil, and Scrofula, will find the real Pearl Milk the finest remedy ; and it makes coarse, sallow, and sickly complexions a healthy bloom and radiant whiteness. Ladies who use the Pearl Milk will have no iiccasion to rouge, paint, &c. as the best of them is un healthy, and Injurious ter the skin ;—therefore Ladies ought to be particular what they use for the skin, as the •lits is naturally thin and delicate. There are young as well as elderly Gentlemen who are subject to pimples, and i'artiettlarly elderly Gentlemen, whose chins naturally get ".!t and begin to wrinkle, and shaving becomes difficult, and eiter. cut themselves, but by washing their face with the Real Pearl Milk, or by putting some on the soap when shaving, i'iste4l of water, it makes the chin hard and plump, clears imperfections, and shaving will be comfortable. Several Ldiea have declared they have spent pounds for articles lot the skin that are so puffed in the Newspapers, but they they have been defrauded, as it did more harm to the skin than good; but after a few times using the Real Pearl Milk, they were so pleased with it, as it began to beautify their complexion, and they found the oftener they used it the more it cleared away the r,d spots they had been subject to; bet they said it was a pity it Is so dear or they would use it ufterer. A Lady of Distinction, about forty-five, has declared to the Proprietor, about two years ago, after recovering r an illness, observed wrinkles under her eyes, that ra-ale her look years older : and had had the first medical and used several French and English Cosmetics, yet trued the wrinkles increased, but of ate washing her face with the Pearl Milk, her skin gradually became smooth ili.d even, and made her complexion look healthy and youth :6l. And what makes the real Pearl Milk so valuable to .oung Ladies, as well as elderly, when washing with it the lace, neck, hands, and arms, makes them lock healthy, Lir, and beautiful. In short, if the Royal Family, Nubility, and tjentry, whohave not used the Real Pearl Milk, willhonour it with a trial, they will find it the most valuable article no the toilet. There Ire some Ladies and Gentlemen, no doubt, who think it impossible for the Real Pearl Milk to pai.ses s the above remarkable virtues, but a trial will con. vine:- them of its efficacy.

N°. 13,836. EMIGRATION. Prom the American Paper Rochester Advertiser. We have endeavoured to ascertain the number of emigrants which have gone west on the canal the present spring., but End the attempt futile, as the captains of line boats do not report their passengers. Conversing, however, with several well informed captains of boats, we learn that the number of passengers in the regular line of boats, which com pose entire families, are the number which passed up last year. We have noticed a reform in some of the line boats which is highly creditable to the proprietors. These line boats have been thoroughly overhauled; newly painted, newly furnished, and have such an air of comfort and decency about them, that a great many wealthy and fashionable families, moving westward, are seen mingled with those of the mid dling interest; this is right. The Revenue arising from the Canals the present season must greatly Jer-reach that of any former year, that is to say, to be applicable to the canal fund. There is a considerable reform in the expen ses ; and thus far, the expense of repairing breaches has been .50 per cent. less than those expenses were last year. Will any mathematican undertake to tell what the revenue of the Erie Canal will be when the Ohio Canal and the Miami Canal are in full ope ration ? When the Genesse country shall sustain treble its population ? When the territory of Mi chigan, surrounded on the east, the north and the west, by navigable waters, and containing within her peninsular borders half a million of souls ? When all these creations of fancy shall be pictured true to the life. If these anticipations occasion surprise respecting Michigan, let us examine the subject. Every part of the territory is susceptible of set tlement, the whole is traversed by rivers and streams, some of the rivers are navigable for lake vessels for twenty or thirty miles. There is about fifty rivers and creeks of considerable size which empty into lakes Michigan, Huron, St. Clair and Erie. There are no mountains, consequently these 50 streams must water the whole territory in the most desirable manner. The surveyors and land hunters say that the land is of the rolling cha racter, back from Huron ; mill sites must therefore abound in all parts. These conveniences are always to be prized in a new country. Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, are blessed with large rivers, but those denominated mill streams, are very scarce. The health, too of Michigan, is superior to that of the countries south. Connected with the trade of Michigan, parts of the state on her southern bor ders, will naturally get their articles of luxury and necessity by the way of our canal, and their sur plus produce, and productions of the forest, nuts, swine, peltry and furs, will swell the coffers of New York. AUTO DA PE AT LISBOA'. Translated front the Courier des Etats Ulli4. Don Miguel loqu cur. And for to-day;Gilbao My lord and master, a ride on horseback. No. Something else : proceed. A promenade beside the Tagus. There is a French vessel at anchor in the river. Her co. lours affect my nerves. Try it again. My lord and masttr, your pleasures are not quite ex hausted; and, thank heaven, there yet remain to you bottles to be uncorked, and duchesses to sit at your fetes. More, Gilbao, than I have the zest to enjoy. Already I tremble like an old man, and 1 have not seen my twenty. sixth year. My memory is gone ; I cannot think or reflect. My head is a piece of confusion ; my body one mass of agitation. I should think that a king could endure more. My lord and master, you are too hard upon yourself. It is youth which produces in you this impatience of life. Titus was like you. Titus ! it was lie who burnt Rome, was it not ? If you please, Sire. To tell the truth, my old convulsions have become in supportable.—The executions ! Hum, they are well enough once or twice, but are always pretty much the same thing. A man whom you drown—what is he but a body which dips into the water, is pulled up with two or three pints in its lungs, and that is the end of it. The gibbet ? 'Will do for the people, but fur me—Gilbao, I cannot find in it but one moment of entertainment, and that is when the fellow's tongue becomes green and foamy in his throat. Perhaps, Sire, you would like to taste of a little dal mency. Clemency—is it good ? I figure to myself it is a beautiful woman who dues not bite ; some Tagus water mingled with old wine—this clemency of yours. My lord and master, it is just as I think. Gilbao, why have our laws permitted the custom of auto.da-fes to fall into disuse, the punishment by fire ? They must be so refi oiling or. a warm summer night ! Sire, the best things pass away. What if I should give the people a taste of auto.da.fes? You are aware that nine revolutionaries await their fate in the prisons of your majesty. -) They are judged and condemned. To what, sire ? To fire! To-morrow let the windows of the palace which look upon the square be opened. I invite to this fete my friends, all the yoang nobles who enliven my evenings, all the ladies of my nobility. Gilbao, you make preparations for an excellent sapper at 7. Fires and diamonds should be seen at night. At last I have found a fete! And when dark night descended, gemmed with stars, the streets disgorged their inmates. They flock to the square, and seize upon places where they can behold the spectacle, which is preparing beneath the windows of the king. Py ramids of dry wood, resinous faggots and burning torches are waiting fir the human flash which they are about to consume.— At last the prison opens, and nine victims clothed in sanbenitos, and bearing flambeaux, are conducted to the great square. Lo ! one has already mounted the pile. Don Miguel offers a glass of champagne to the Count Perez. The revo• lutionary skin shrives up, the hair catches from the resin, and the victim is wrapped in flames. Long live Don Miguel !" The second ascends. _ _ _ His Majesty touches with the tip of a fan the cheek of Duchess, whose attention war distracted. " How amiable is the young King." The whole nine pass ou. " Long live ! long live Dm Miguel !" All the bottles are emptied ; all the Duchesses are embraced. The ensuing morning you mi‘ht see dogs in the streets who were gnawing human bones ; on the square before the palace there yet lay fragments of bottles, a few dusty plumes, and some girdled , which had fallen from the balcony.

IJ bt EACra /1 " I 1 11' 0 ISDICAmx - l7BB • FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1831. A NEW.FASHIONED FRENCHMAN. We Intl, in the Crawler des Elate Otis, the following imaginary anecdote of what wok plea on the occasion of a strange brig entering the port of Constantinople, with the tri-coloured flag and pendant floating from her wizen mast and main-mast. It does not appear from what paper it is copied ; but for the amusement of our readers, we trans late it. " Of what nation ? " asked the Captain of Port. " Fransaouy," said the captain of the brig. " Francais ? " and the Turk opened his big eyes and pondered. a The name of your vessel P " " The Allah-Kerim, Captain lamed-Ben. Moussah.— You can read it on the stern of my brig, if you know the' Arabic alphabet." "And you are a Frenchmen ?" * 4 on el rassoul, by pop's permission and the Prophet's, as good a Frenchman isw►y Parisian." The Turk stoed in a state of stupefaction. At this moment, twenty-five sailors, constituting the crew of she Allah Kerim, made their appearance on deck, and ar ranged themselves along the starboard railing. They were tawny-skinned Moors, with eyes glistening and fallow, like a hyena's, blue and red turbans, and black beards, huge stuff coats and ornamented sadarys ; and with three hums they saluted Istamboul, the beautiful, long.sighed for Istamboul, the dwelling-place of the Commander of the Faithful, the city of gorgeous palaces and golden minarets; Istamboul reclining voluptuously on the banks of the Bosphorus, like an Odalisque, dreaming of love, by the margin of a foun tain in the gardens of the Seraglio. " The French have left the religion of CHRIST, to em brace Islamism ? Praised be the name of the Prophet ! They have abandoned the hat for the turban ? " They have abandoned neither their hats nor Christianity. For the matter of that they are about as much Christians as itluselinen. " You blaspheme,—you are no better than a pirate and an impostor, and no Frenchman at all." " Ifeis, I swear to you by the Prophet who reposes at Medina, that I am a French citizen; and I glory in it.— It is as true as that you are a slave of the Sultan. Look at the cockade in my aamamale, and at the flag which my vessel carries." " I see them. But your crew." " Frenchmen, like me." "Why they talk Mogrebblin Arabic!'' " What of that ?" " Why, it is true I have known more sailors than one, who could talk German, Italian, Greek and Spanish, and did not understand a word of French, who proved to me that they belonged to your nation. Twenty years ago almost all the vessels I overhauled, from all parts of Europe, called themselves French." "The unconquerable soldiers in my country, say that those times may come about again." " Have yen got your papers ?" " Dil-hacq.—to be sure. They arc all according to law, made out by the authorities of my nation; by the °act& el-bahor, Commissary of Marine at my port, under the King of the French." " And, pray, where do you come from, my worthy Cap tain ? From Marseilles, or Cette, or Toulouse Keyaltjy min Djezair. I come from Algiers ; but you see I am a Frenchman for all." The Turk was dumfoundered. And when the vessel was moored in the harbour, and the people of Constantinople saw the Algerinca walking about the streets, and going to the Mosques with their tri-coloured cockades stuck in their turbans, their curiosity and astonishment were a good deal excited, as may be su ; for it was the fi rst visible proof the Munebnen Zd s rad, that Algiers had been con quered by the French, and was in their possession. • A favourite female slave of the Sultan. ROUSE OF LORDS. On what grounds does the House of Peers claim a right to regulate, in any degree, the re presentation of the People in the House of Commons? In reason they have no such right; in law, the only claim they can advance, arises from their having done so by sufferance in a few very equivo cal instances. The foundation of the Lex Parliontentaria, according to Coke, in his Institutes, is, that— " if any thing arises concerning the privileges of either House of Parliament, the matter ought to be examined, discussed, and adjudged by that house to which it relates, and no where else." A Committee of the House of Commons, by its own authority, first limited the claims of the Sovereign to disfranchise burghs; and, since the power of amending or confirming the decision of a former ComnAttee of the I-louse must lie in the House, I affirm that the power of issuing or with holding writs for the election of Members of Par liament, does and ought to exist in his Majesty alone, upon petition from the House of Commons only. The last addition to the'English Members of the House of Commons was made by the Act 25th Charles 11. by which additional Members were given to Durham, to place it on an equality with Chester. This is a precedent for the course which Minis ters have hitherto pursued. The triennal and septennial Acts, and some others, also appear to have decided points relative to the pi ivileges of the Ilouse of Commons, by Act of Parliament. These Acts either related to Parliaments in ge noral, of which the House of Lords formed a part, or they came under that description to which, if the Lords should not allind as opportunity of set tling the question, by a declaratory act, the pre sent Bill will in future be referred, viz. that of cases on which the Lords have legislated by suf ferance. The Lords having concurred or compromised with the Commons on these occasions, did not render it necessary to dispute their authority ; and the car rying of such measures occasionally by Bill, no more renders it necessary, in all such cases, to proceed in the same manner, than the reference of a particular case in equity to the Lord Chancellor, precludes the reference of a similar ca•e to the Court of Exchequer. It no more establishes a right in the Lords to legislate in matters solely relating to the Commons, than a long course of precedents, and even of parliamentary declara ' tions, proved the legality of the various arbitrary acts for which the Stuarts lost the crowns of these kingdoms. The unions of Scotland and Ireland were international treaties, accompanied by legislative acts. In the legislative acts accompanying the treaties of union, which acts were in fact the treaties them selves, the Lords and Commons of England con curred as parties to the bargain, made for the mu tual advanta g e, on the one part, of the Lords and Commons ofScot land, sitting in one House of Par 'lament, and, on the other part, of the Lords and Commons of Eni;land, sitting in separate Houses ; the Queen bearing a similar relation to either party. By such an act the Lords can never be understood to have acquired the power of regulating the House of Commons, any more than the House of Com mons, in consequence of the introduction of repre sentative Peers, can be supposed to have acquired the power of introducing Members into the House of Lords. On these points, if tho Lords should not con sent to pass the Bill without material alteration, Ministers ire expected to Insist ienuecllaielyikad effectually. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JOLY 14. The Earl of SH AFTESBURY presided upon the wool sack in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. Col. WOOD, and other Members from the Commons, brought up several private bills, which were read the first time. PRICE SEVENPENCE. TRAUDULENT DEBTORS' BILL. Lord WYNFORD moved the Wee of the day for the third reading of his bill to prevent debtors remaining in prison, and ;hereby defrauding their creditors. Lord FIFE, in a speech of considerable length, repeated the objections made to the bill on a former day. He assured the noble and learned lord that he was the last person in the world who could wish to screen any one who would fly the country to avoid the payment of debts. As little did he wish to screen those whom the noble and learned lord des cribed as living luxuriously in prison at the expense of their creditors, but he considered the measure introduced by the noble and learned lord in the light of an es. post facto law. It would operate as a punishment against those who were then reduced by misfortune to a gaol. It would make them bankrupts and give the last remains of their miserable property not to creditors but lawyers. Their lordships ought to consider whether such a bill would not prevent the administration of justice in mercy. The noble and learned lord said, one hundred persons were living in prisons upon the property of their creditors, and admitting that to be the fact, it did not furnish ground for a bill of pains and penalties applicable to debtors incarcerated. The bill would drive hundreds into that gulph of horror and de spondency—the Insolvent Debtor's Court, where property was wasted in law, and where creditors derived no advantage. The state of the law war such that it was impossible to et anything by suit or process. AU was swallowed up practitioners of the law. (Hear, hear.) The noble learned lord's bill would throw persons incapable of pay. log their debts into the den of bankruptcy, and only an. swer the purpose of increasing misery. Death, by cholera morbus or any other fatal malady, was a cure for all misfor tunes,' but wretched debtors, forced into bankruptcy by such a Bill as that before the House, would be subject to the worst of prolonged torture. The noble lord contended that the law of arrest for debt required revision. Many had been forced by misfortunes to remain in prison, and lose all means of support. There was mercy in the law which enabled them to do so, but that mercy the noble and learned Lord's Bill would destroy, not, as he bad said before, to give pro perty to creditors, but to divide It among lawyers and legal practitioners. Half the cases of detention were for law expenses. The noble lord observed, that bankrupts were unknown in England before the Lombards commenced trading amongst the people. Bankrupts were a foreign class of debtors, and when known in this country lawyers turned such per sons to their advantage. The Noble Lord made his speech amusing by adverting to the infamous conduct of Empson, and Dudley, in the reign of Henry the Seventh, and the Act of Parliament passed in that reign to rescue the people from the evils occasioned by abuse of civil process. lie concluded by expressing a hope, that the Bankruptcy Bill to be intro- duced to-morrow evening, by the Noble and Learned Lord Chancellor, would enable the people to know the law, and ' remove those abuses which ought to have been removed before. Parliament ventured to entertain the Bill, which then stood for the third reading. It was unjust in its opera tion It was contrary to the mild spirit of the ancient laws of the kingdom. He reminded them that the ancient and excellent laws of England were the birthright and best in. heritance of the subject. The people were not to be ground down by severe enactments. The laws they ought to main , tain were, in the language of Lord Coke, boda et approbate anliqua regni ktes. Lord PLUNKET alluded to a clause in the bill which provides, that a person going abroad for a certain period with intent to delay his creditors, shall be within the operation of the Bankrupt Laws. He considered this enactment bard, and, having some objection to it, wished the Noble and Learned Lord to postpone the third reading of the bill for a week,in order that more consideration might be applied to it. Lord 11'INFORD observed, that the bill did not apply to persons then abroad, but those who might leave the country after the passing of the bill. If a trader remained out of the country a single hour for the purpose of delaying his creditors he became a bankrupt, and he (Lord Wynford) had thought there would be no hardship in placing those who were not traders upon the same footing. In answer to the Noble Lord who opposed the bill, he begged to say the object of the bill was not to keep persons in prison, but to compel them not to remain in prison. They were to have the opportunity of offering terms of settlement with their creditors. If his Noble and Learned Friend felt any diffi culty upon the measure, he should not object to postpone the third reading for a week. The Noble and Learned Lord accordingly moved that the third reading be postponed to this day week. The motion was put and carried. The Earl of WESTMEATH presented a petition from certain persons in custody for debt, praying that Lord Wyn e ford's Bill, to prevent frauds upon creditors by remaining in prison, be referred to the Common Law Commissioners. Lord KING presented a petition from Belfast, for the re peal of the Legislative Union. The Blahopof FERNS moved for returns relating to the collection of Tithe in Ireland. Ordered. On the motion of Lord ELLEN 80110 UGH the second reading of the Forest Dean Hal was postponed to Tuesday. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from certain persons in the parish of Mary-le-bone, praying that the payment of taxes might quality for voting under the Reform Bill, with out regard to the payment of rent. He thought the proof of the payment of his rent. which was to be required of the elector*, was more inquisitorial than any thing that ever took place in Algiers. It' the bill passed iu its present form, he would move a clause that the butcher and baker should be paid as well as the landlord. Mr. EWART said he had to make a statement minis terially from the chairman of the cotrimi,teer of Lord Sudan and Mr. Thornton, denying the amnion made in that house, that public-houses were at present open in Liverpool tor the purpose of treating the voters in the interests of those can. didates. He hoped the hon. gen leman who made the state ment would not hesitate to contradict it. Mr. WASON said he was fully prepared to confirm the' fact he bad formerly stated. Ile had read a letter 'stating that public. houses were open to give drink to the eleioars for each candidate. He was readj to propose a test. He would. undertake to prove the fact at the bar of House. and . to bear all the expense if he failed in establishing thr fact. Mr JOHN WOOD said he could have no respect for the elecors of Liverpool, but he had a letter from Liverpool disavowing any treating on the part of Mr. Thurnton's Committee. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said it was totally irregular to go i4ro the me: the Liverpool Election, on *scion of a pztiti,:t from Mary-le-bone. Mr. HUNT pre:tinted a petition from Bolton. c of the Corn Laws, which increased the price of 'a d. obstructed the export of manufacture, and dinii ployment. The petition wat signed by 15,000 eluding magistrates and clergymen. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from the di Boston, in favour of the bill of recolm br fore Park Mr. ROGERS presented a petition from Bishops praying that it might be taken out of schedule A. Mr. RUSSELL presented a petition from Yorkshire, praying to be allowed to send members lisment. Lord BELCH AVE presented &petition from Grand Jury of Cheshire agsirst the beer bill. Mr. JOHN WOOD presented a petition from for universal suffrage, annual Parliaments, and co.( lat. He htd been the advocate of these meastur- was returned to Parliament, but he thought the the house would secure go od Government, and it his cordial support. The hon. gentleman pewee tition from the Political Union of Manchester, pray 101. householders might be entitled to vote, vice paid their rent half-yearly, quarterly, monthly, or Mr. JOHN WOOD presented a petition from milers of beer in Ashton.under-Line, praying might be allowed to keep their houses open m licensed victuallers ; and a petition from the landot Haslcmere for a limitation of time to the dab church. Two hundred and twenty-two suits were cat in one parish, and he was confident if not prevented would soon increase to many thousand,. %Ir. DICKSON presented a petition from against the tax on marine insurance. Mr. MARSHALL presented a petition from t of St. John, Beverley, to be includedln the borough ley : and a petition from the soap.makers of Glasgow, repeal of the duty on soap ; and two petition% from gations in Yorkshire for the abolition of slavery. Wessel LOWTHER presented two petitions from pa fishes in I,Vestmorland for an alteration in the tithe ' system. 31r. BRISCOE presented a petition from the coal meters of the county of Surrey, praying that they might receive the same remuneration as the coal -meters of Middlesex ; and :. petition from the parish of Christ Church, praying to be united to Lambeth under the reform bill. Mr. DENISON gave notice that he should mov: strike the borough of Guildford out of the schdule B. that it might continue to send two members. Lotd KILLEEN presented a petition from Hamil.un Gordon, praying that copyholders might be permitted to vet,: in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL said there were but three copyholdtai in all Ireland. Lord KILLEEN presented a petition from the Catholic Clergy, praying for a participation hi the grant for educat:rn In favour of Catholics. Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from► Raman C. tholics of the county of Cork, for a participation in the grant for education. Sir R. BA TESON presented a petitiyi from Deny in ft. your of the grant to the Kildare•street Society. Mr. O'CONNELL said, all the Catholics required Ist they should be allowed to educate their own children, without the interference of Protestants. lIIr. HUME wondered that any government would refuse to allow Catholics to educate their own children. It was impossibla for any man to lay his hand on his heart and ap prove of the manner in which grants were made to the Kil dare-street Society, which was an insult to the Catholics of Ireland. Colonel TORRENS said the Catholics of Ireland were called on to pay taxes for education against themselves.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. COLSOURNE thought the Kildare-street Society was a powerful political tngine in support of the Protestant religion and government. Mr. SPRING RICE; thought the Society being a poli tical engine, was a great objection to it. The system was not to be defended. Sir ROBERT INGLIS thought Oov....nment should not raise taxes to support religious education in tenets which thvy did not believe to be true. 11IFOR:q. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House remalve itself into a Committee on the Reform Bill. Mr KNIGHT gave notice that he should move that Bishop's Castle should be tun:tared from the schedule A to schedule B. Col. LINDSAY said he would take that oppor unity Of correcting a roisstatemeir of what he had said the night be. fore. He did not defend close boroughs abstractedly ; but said, if they were removed, the democratic principle would gain the ascendency. Mr. CROKEH asked at whet time the population re. turns respecting the boroughs would be presented to the House? Sir H. HARDINOE asked whether it would be co:rpe tent for him, or any other Member, to move to hear eel. dence respecting the population of any borough. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, he believed several of the population returns were received, and he bad no ohj.erion to their being laid before the House; but they were r or the dataon which the schedules were turned—they were formed on a census taken in 1821. not intended for the purpose of reform. Wi:h respect to the question, of hearing re id, : cc, it must be decided by each particular cue. (Hear. hear.) Mr. SUGDEN said, the census of 1821 had been departed front in many instances. The more the plan of the Noble Lord was considered, the more it world be seen that it was rot to be justified. (Cheers and laughter.) He found that there were enemies in the enrup—he could not ►peak to his friends around him, because trere was such a mix.nre of those whit whom he and his friends could not agree. ( A laugh.) He thought the people of England were deluded fur a time, but would come to their senses. (A laugh.) Mr. Sarni, Col. DAVIS, and Lord J. Russzt.L, iu succession rose in explanation. Colonel DAVIS said, that it was possible errors might have occurred, and without the knowledge of the a ificors eti ;the districts. He supported the adoption of the census of 1821. In alluding to what had fallen from the karstsi member who objected to him and other members having • taken their seats among the Opposition, he has to remark. that he (Cul. Davis) bad occupied the seat he then filled before that learned gentleman had occupied a seat on that side of the house, and he considered that he had as good a right to the seat of his choice as the learned gentleman. Alderman WI .OD said that the learned gentleman had ; particularly alluded to him when he spoke of " enemies., in the camp:" in reply, he had to say that he had occupied that sent since ever he had been in the house, and he did not intend to change it. He had held the same opinions ever since he came into the house, and meant to keep the same seat: if the learned gent. had thought fit to change his opt. nions, or to change his seat, that was nothing to him (Aid. Wood), he would remain unchanged in his; so that the learned gentleman must just take care and speak low wit, at he had any secret to communicate to his friends about him— (Laughter.) The worthy Alderman considered that he had reason to suppose rather that they were exceedingly fond of his company when they treated him with 7 divisions on a night, and kept him longer in their company than he was inclined. He woold not leave his seat, and he never would reveal their secrets, but he would oppose all their present measures ; and as long as ministers did as they had done, he would always vote with them, although he sat on the opposite side of the house. Sir H. HARDING& said the cause of complaint was, not in allusion to the hon. members taking their seats among them, the opposition, but it was the annoyance of their re marks given in an under-tone, and the contradictions they muttered. The worthy alderman had on a previous eve ning, when an hon. member on that side of the house was making a motion, said, loud enough to be heard, " that's all trickery," an d the gallant colonel had in like manner contradicted another boa. member by in the same manner muttering "no, no,"—(heiti, hear) —and this was what was complained of, that they should take such liberties in their places in that house that would aot be tolera:ed in any ether place. Alderman WOOD said that he had used the words" that's all trickery," because it was his conviction. tkut such was the ca.e at the time. Colonel DAVIS would ask the hon. baronet if h s using the words " No, no," was any thing of au urcomit.on oe currence.—The hon. baronet must otten hear in the House cries of `• No, no," Question, question," and shells). txcht mations. 31r. C. WYNN deprecated the. prance of inurruptir,g hon. members while they were speaking. The hon. man. ber then expressed his dissent from the plaq.,proposed in tl.e measnre for Reform that .marked the qualification of boroughs by their population. He said that itisroukl seem that Government bad made their test persiationt to aartr. taut. what were or what were not notarinathm or. rotten boroughs. He enumerated several boroughs elm, bum. tiers just escetdcd the line drawn by a very few, and these tO Per ..., 1 A .. , , 14 is x:'11 tit -,---.. .1 te lki Y. -A- ~.. 00' -5,.j A 'AD' ....; •44 • w on the 1ff r 9.7 . : „ I :n. c mplaining of •ond, st bile it iiminished en. - . f r ;00 persons, in. • he dissenters of • Parliament.
