The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether ss arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos• phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaiety, or the more alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by a gradual dereliction of the animal powers.

PRICE SEVENPENCE. against the Poles. The petitioners also c-mplained that there was no accredited person from the British Government. resident at Warsaw. to privet the inter, yr of British sob. J et ta ; they also complained of the dreadful effects of the war which was going on, in consequence of the alarmin t disease which was communicated by the invading cony, The hon member said he was fully aware of the difficuliy of the subject to which the petition referred ; he not withstanding thought that something might be done to rescue those brave mink front the roils which pressed upon them, in coaseqttenee of the 4 , sorective war in which they were enlagill tiatinns bad Area row carried oa fist six or seven wombs. and he thought it was not unreasonaltle en expert. that thii Government of this ioontry could make some disclosures relative to the future prove:as of Poland. and the eff c et the negotiadona to which he hail alluded. Ile thought it there ever wag a time *hen the interf.rence of this enntitry was called for to stop the progress of this c tiamitotts war. it was the present. As the subject, howev:r. would come before the house in a more formal manner, he sl Id not atprerent trouble the house with any further n h servat i ana . firing that it might be inconvenient to press the sobj , et on the attention of the ftuse. lie would durefore move' that the Fetition be brought up. Sir F. BURDETT said, he bad great pleasure in second. ing the motion of the hon. and gallant member: he entirely coincided in the feelings of sympathy expressed by the hon. member In favour of the gallant Poles. lie entertained a finn belief and conviction that the Govemruent of this coon. try felt deeply interested in the affairs of Poland. (Hear.) And he hed no hesitation in expressing his opinion, that this country, in concert with the military power of France, shout I interfere to preserve the integrity of that unfortunate cou wry. He thought it was high time that something should he done by remonstrance or otherwise. He thought the present mo ment peculiarly favourable. A reciprocity of feeling had sprung up between this country and Franc: which had neva before existed; they were no longer jealoas of each other's power, and could now enter upon a more generous rivalship, In remonstrating against the unjust aggressions of a powerful nation; which sought to oppress Poland in violation of the treaty of 1815, which guaranteed the constitutional rights of the Poles. He knew it might be incompatible with the its. terests of this country to take an active part to reinstate the just rights of the Poles; but this he would say, that no Cause more just ever called forth the sympathy of na tions. AU nations entertained but one opinion on ti e merits of this cause ; and he thought it was the bounden 'duty of this country to see the observance of those treaties by which. they were pledged to secure a con stitution to Poland ; such a course was perfectly con. sistent with the law of nations. This was a case which should excite the sympathy of generous minds ; but politi cians were said to have no bowels, and politicians were rot prone to be aentimental. It could not be expected that such persons should act from such motives. But there was in this instance a motive which in general had some weight with such men. It was the interest of every country to put' an end to this war, and be sincerely hoped that the subject would be brought under the consideration of Parliament. Of this he was quite certain, that any steps which his Ma. jesty's ministers might take to afford relief to the suffering Poles, would receive the unanimous approval and support of the country. He felt the warmest sympathy for that people, and hoped they would be rescued from the fangs of Russia. Mr. O'CONNELL said that it was from no feeling of apathy that silence had so long prevailed in that house upon The Muse of the Poles. The despots of Europe found ad. vacates in othte cases,—in this they had none. There was no voice raised in their favour. All nations were unanimous in reprobating the conduct of Russia. The press was tans. nimous on this subject. however it might act on other occa sions. In other cases be could only account for the manner in which it had been coeducted, but by believing that it was bribed. All concurred in one sentiment of sympathy for the sufferings of the Poles, and an anxious wish for the sue .cess of their cause. The situation of ministers was an es. case for their not interfering. The time had, however, now arrived when alt Europe should stand forth to secure the constitution to Poland which had been given them by treaty. Mr. M'KINNON presented a petition from William Oreig, a merchant, trading to the Cap* of Good hope. praying the house that no alteration might take place in the duty on Cape wines. Mr. ROBINSON concurred in the prayer of the petition. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from the Roman Cetho. lie freemen of the town of Galway, against that clause its the Irish Reform Bill which would alter the elective rights of freemen in corporations. After a few words from Messrs. BLAcRNET, O'CoN. NELL and GRATTAN, the petition was ordered to be printed. Lord KILLEEN presented a petition from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Navan, in the county Meath, pray ing that the yeomanry of Ireland might be disbanded. After a few words from Mr. O'Connell, Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Blackney, Mr. Shaw, and Lord Killeen the petition was received, anti ordered to be printed. Lord KILLEEN presented a petition trom the bakers of the town of Nava; with respect to regulating their hours of work. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition against negro slavery, from Killarney. Mr. O'CON N ELL then presented a petition from South. wart, in favour of the beer bill. The bon. member then presented a petition from Raheen, praying that Catholics might not be compelled to support the Protestant clergy ; from a pariah in Dublin, against the Kil dare-street Society ; and from a parish in the Queen's county, against the Union. The hon. member then moved fur copies of the account and vouchers of Sir 0. Hill, during the time he acted as Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, with copies of all Tiessury pno eeedings relating thereto, and relating to the grant of the pension to Lady Hill.--The motion was agreed to. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the inha bitants of St. Martin's-in-the-fields, praying for redress against the malversation of the select vestry of that parish. Mr. HUNT presented a petition, signed by several hun dred respectable tradesmen of London, praying that the per secution against Mr.ltobert Taylor for preaching his religious opinions Might not be persevered in. Mr. LABOUCHE an presented a petition from certain owners of omnibuses, praying that they might be put on the footing of hackney-coaches, and not be subject to toil: duty like stages. Mr. SPRING RICR said, that the petitioners would have ample concessions mad: to them in the new hackney. mach act. After a few words from Lord A urnoar, which were to. tally inaudible in the gallery, the house resolved itself iito acotntuittee of the whole house upon THE MEFORM BILL. Lord ALTHORP moved the clause which enacted that the sums of al. per diem be paid to each barrister abile em ployed under this act. hlr. CA 11P1IP.LI. proposed that the sum should be guineas, for pounds had long been unknown In Ireotnimster. hill. (41 laugh.) Lord A l-THORP acceded to the alteration, and the clause with this amendment was read a third time and carried. Lord G. 6031ERSET rose to move the addilia.ukt cimise of *hick he had given notice—namely, that a new district of Waugh* be formed in the county of Monmouth, fur the purpose of mentlins one repriscntative to Parliament. He grounded his mutton on the facts that the county of Mon mouth would not return under the bill its dee share of mitre 'astatine, as °nominal with the counties with which it was More thsis timid in population—in the amain tof assessed tap,' paid to the immune—and in the amount of ha losei /de eon. Minieney. If, for example, be took. three counties in the north ' England —ihe three counties of Northumberland , Cumber kad, and bothaan.—and compshrd them with throsimies of Mennioutb, tilaiusqtan, and Ikecknoek, in 'ales, he *mild find that itrblie the Amer returned one number fui teary 19,4010 of t h e inkuliames, Out repreammuma. est. thel latter was as one to Sti,4oo. tbsit the cousfi ueney of .llon. mouth, Chepeww, and Usk, was upwards of r;00 Ltd, 1:ou holders, while that of more than 15 towns in the b:ll, to re turn one member, was not on the average SOU; vlile, in addition, the average of the assessed talcs far . excecied the average of these 15 towns. The Noble Lord mowed that the boroughs and parishes of Monmouth. Chepstow, and Usk, do in future return one member to Parliament. Lord J. RUSSELL on the pan of Ministers, could not assent to the Noble Lord's proposition. If inequality of reptesentation to population, or as compared with tart r. non, were once admitted, there would be no end to the amendments which might be on equally valid gums 1%. rnov , (l on the present bill. He did not deny that the Monmouth district of boroughs, and Monmouth county, would not turn as many member• as other districts and conflict with apparently no better claims; but he contend,ll that Mon mouth was not worse rain this particular than manyother counties,—than Derby for example, which rwurned but one representative for every 25,000 inhabitants,—than Yorkshire, which returned but one for every 32,000—and still morr, than Lancashire, which would return but one member for every 47,50 d of inhabitants. Lord O. SOMERSET thought it needless to press this clause to a division in the present disposition of ministers. Toe clause was accordingly negatived without a division. Lord G. SOMERSET neat moved that the district of Abergavenny and Newport return one representative to Par liament. This clause was also negatived without a ditision, and the origistal clause agreed to. Mr. HUNT then animadverted at some length on the in. terference of peers at the elections of members to serve in P..r. !lament, and moved the insertion of the foaming clause. having previously caused the clerk to read the resolution of 'the hsiuse against such interference—" Thai from and aft.• r the Slat day of December, 1831, if any lord of Parliament, or other peer or prelateshall be guilty of the crime nf interfering, either directly or indirectly, in the election of any member to sit and serve in the Con.mens' House of Par. !lament, such peer shall, for such unlawful interfere:see. b • adjudged, upon conviction, to pry a fine to the state a 10,0001. and be impriscned in the Tower for the spar.. ~f one year; and if any peer be convic ed a second time of similar crime, he shall be adju:lg el to pay a file t state of 21,0001. and be imprisoned in his Majesty's gaol of Newgatc for the space of two years ; and if any shall be 'convicted a third time of a similar crime, such peer shall be degraded from the peerage, his title shall .be come extinct, and the culprit shall be transported beyond the seas for his natural life." On the question that the clause he troitzlit up, Lord J. RUSSELL said there was nn law or resolutio, of the house which could prevent the Indirect interference of peers at contested elections,--that the elcrase proposed War more ntonatioas and unjust titan any res. I alert that heel ever before been submitted to the consideration of .lie !tense ; and was, besides, totally different from the resolution wnic't had been read by Mr. Speaker at t ie beginning of Ha.. session. He should, therefore, have n p hesitation in nev living the hon. member's motion th.t It he brought ur. Col. SIBTHORP said, he a' ould take the present op portunity to complain of a contemptuous report of a speech of his in the committee yesterday, winch had sppeare t n one of the msening news l iap.rs of that dry. The Impart :IN 1111. h he allude! was interspersed with leugh er. and other expressioas of derision, which he flatly d e ni e d h a d been jos. titled by the fact. ( rat.) Mr. H. (Wit NEl* added that the dignity of tie home must n. easterly be lowered by the truckling selit which they had latterly exhibited towards the daily peas, w;sisili for seine time past had habi tua lly been publishing list: of the members who were absent as well of those who wise presmt, specifying who voted one way, and who vo cd another ; and, in short, now exercised a degree of despoti-iii inco.npat bit with the independence of member, and the pri vilege' of parliamcat. (Hear. hear.) idr. CRESSET PELHAM, in reference to the question immediately before the house, thorght that if a case of it. terference should be clearly roved, the resolution already on the journals would be quite sufficient to meet it. Sir E. SUODEN complained of the jealous and hostile disposition which bad been latterly manifested towards ti, • peerage, and of the desire to subvert the just privile g es t which they were entitled by the letter and spirit of the con stitution. This feeling assumed different forms, %novel:tie; appearing in the shape of threats, and sometimes wider th guise of " friendly advice." but exhibited the selt.sastse tufty take what colour it might. Lord J. RUSSEILL disclaimed having p reds/eau; au, h symptoms as the hon. and learned gentleman prnfes eel have discovered, Mr DOME insisted, that bad as the proceedings of that House had unquestionably beat for a long eerier of years, they would have proved much worse but for the salutary control and unwearied vigilance of the public preys, to which, in his opinion, they could never be auffitiently thankful.— (Hear, hear.) It was most desirable that the geode in which members voted should be accurately made known to their constituents. and the system by which that was 1,0 wel! ac complished he trusted would never be departed froth. Mr. HUN briefly replied, and his motion was negrived without a division, no voice but his own having been raised in support of it. The preamblw was then read by the CHAIRMAN. an agreed to, after • few observation* from lis. C. PE L 11.131, which wen inaudible in the (allay. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the Chairmen do repent the bill, with its amendments, to the bout*, which was car ried with loud cheers, and the house accordingly recetted amidst general acclamations. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report, which was re mired, ordered to be printed, and to be taken into further consideration on Tuesday next. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES withdrew his notice of moils n that it is inexpedient to diminish the numbers of tie house, which lie had intended to bring forward on the brirrng up of the report. The further stage of the enclosure acts' title bill was grist. poned to Friday se'nnight. WINE DUTIES . On the question bring submitted that the bill he read a first time, it was agreed to. Oa the succeeding motion a long conversation ensued. Eh.. GORDON eb.erved, that the statement of the Member for Surrey, that an Act of Parliament provided that the duty on Cape wine should not be raised till 183$, was of the greatest importance, if correct. Lord A LTHORP said, the meaning of the Act alluded to was, that the duty on Cape wine should be half the duty on the Portuguese wine. The duty on the latter bad been raised to 54 6d; it was, therefore, coufotmable to *Act to raise the Cape wine duty to 2 s 9 d. Mr. HU3IR considered the propositicn to be as much an infringement of an act of parliament as if it was proposed to deprive an Individual of a pension granted him by rutrlia ment for a specific period, before that period had elap se d. Sir. bIABERLY said , the object of the act was the pro. tection of the Cape wine interest. Now, the duty on other wines being raised in an equal proportion, the protection re. mained the same. After a few words limn Mr. COURTENA Y and o:her Hon. Alembers, the original question was agreed to. The House resumed, and the report w 4 ordered to be re ceived on Friday. Mr. HUME would, on that occasion, mate the zealot:_ tion of the Cape wine duty to 2s. dd. SPIRIT OP THIS nArs JOURNALS. CHRONICLE..—At last, thank God, the Reform Bill has passed through the committee. The few words uttered by Lord John Russell were moat moving, " I move. that you do report the Bill with its Amendments to the House." These few words were received with loud cheers, and ou the question that the Chairman do leave the Chair, the cheers were renewed. The report is to be taken into consideration on Tuesday next. We are now fast approach. ins to the great erisis,—the progress through the House of Lords. For all that has taken place in the Commons the people were in some measure prepared, though the delay may have somewhat exceeded their anticipations. Re,peet ing the fate of the Bill, however, there could be no enxiety, th e elections having determinedalw result In the House of Commons. But the same certainty does not exist with re gard to the House of Lords. Anxiety, intense anxiety, is entertained on that head. Much will depend On the people themselves,. Let them now prepare to let it he seen that they are worhy of the privileges to which they are about to , be admitted. Again we say much will depend on the peo. pie themselves in the approaching crisis. Our hint, we know, will be understood. TIMES—The country may now be fairly congratulated that the Reform Bill has passed the Committee,—the oppo sition gradually relaxing as the contest was prolonged, and the later clauses having been carried with something little short of entire and unanimous acquiescence. The report will he received on Tuesday next, and there are many reasons for desiring, that on the third reading a majority may show itself in favour of this great national good, bearing some slight proportion to the out-of-doors majority, bating a due allowance for the rotten-borough members, who have no ennnexion nor sympathy of any kind with the people.— There are those who ascribe the decay of active bit terness in the anti-reform opposition of the House of Commons to certain dreams of redemption for the borough system in a different quarter. Dire chimeras these ! and desperate the minds which an engender them ! If there be really a party within this realm which comets'. plates as a matter within the bounds of reasonable pro bability the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, or any serious modification of even one of its essential clauses, that party must itself be insane, or still more insane the assembly by which such an expecta tion would be realised. For let not Tory peers indulge the melancholy reverie that the " people have forgone,' the Bill, —already we warned their lotdships on this subject. We know that there exists a class of lords—aye, and of untitled grandees, chiefly men who have been in office under Tory ministries, a class which never looked foe information, while the Government was formed by them and by their friends. beyond the purlieus of Downing-street or Whitehall,—who fancied that the people of England were as complete ma chines as their own clerks and messengers about the Treasury chambers,—who never conceived that the constitution was any thing but a form, that extreme eases were within the range of physical possibility, or that the vehicles of state could be endangered by any unskilfulness of the drivers. These unto,. ornate men are now busy according to their peculiar fashion Charles-street is to them, while out of place, what their much lamented Downing-street used to be. They see nothing but what surrounds them in that their conclave,—hear nothing but what is whispered there.—believe nothing but what is there accredited,—circulate every thing which has the fiat of the old Bureaucracy affixed to 14—and are, in point of autho- Thy for the national spirit and sentiment of England.- just ea a par with the present tenants of Holyrood, for knowledge of what is going on amongst the French people. These men, we say, are habitual aliens to their country. They Would drive the House of Lords into a conflict with the people of England. Such a conflict may a merciful Pro vidence avert 1 POST.—THS Dualists or Kluir.—A Morning Paper in the confidence of Ministers makes a furious and most tin. justifiable attack upon this truly amiable Princess, because sbe does not attend the ceremony of the Coronation this day —most falsely imputing to her Royal Highness motives of systematic opposition to the wishes of the King." Any thing mere unwarrantable or unjust than this charge, so rudely preferred against the exalted Personage in question, it Is impossible to conceive—it has not the slightest shadow of foundation. Her Royal Highness, In the discharge of her various maternal duties, has never been Influenced by any political consideration ; and , 1 ber private virtues and correct notions of general , affairs are acknowledged and applauded by aU who have the honour of her acquaintance. It was in due consideration merely of the duty she owed to her Royal Daughter, as the Heiress Presumptive to the Throne, that on being informed a place had been assigned to the Princess Victoria derogatory to her rank, she deemed it most prudent and becoming to decline the invitation to attend—conduct on the part of her Royal Highness which every true and gallant Briton must cordially approve and applaud. Our readers may be assured that the actual circumstances of the case are as above described._ We have stated them simply in explanation of a point which might excite some curiosity, not for an instant supposing that the character of that illurriotts and exemplary lady, the Duchess of Kent, whose virtues as a woman, and whose excellence as a mother are universally acknowledged and tsp. predated, and who has been by acclamation named Regent of the Kingdom, required any vindication against the ruffianly and brutal attack of the writer in the Tirurs news. paper. As to the disgusting insolence of that attack, noted as the Journal in question Is for its grossness and scurrility, we shall not waste an obsewatiots upon it, convinced that it will be appreciated as it deserves even by the lowest class of the people. IMPERIAL PAR LIAMENT. HOUSE Ol — rnSrtDS, SIP?. 7. The Lord Chancellor, sod Lords Lyndhurst and Plun kett, sat at ten o'clock this morning, to bear appeals. HAIXIII V. Ili LL - - Air E. SUDDEN resumed his arguments on the part of the appellant on this appeal. The learned counsel went at le length into the facts of the letting of Sir Edw. Antrobes's box, denying in strong terms the cilium* of any fraud in that transaction, and contending, if such was the case, there wu no ground for refusing a specific per. on that point. The next point on which the learned counsel proceeded to animadvert, was the assignment of the rent of Lord Holland's box to the bankerwmppolated to the said concerts, for a debt due by the coerce= to them. On this transaction, also, the learned counsel contended there was no ground for refusing the specilic performance, as this transaction nu totally devoid of fraud. The &anted counsel, corning to that part of his argument which referred to the theatre being in difficulty and a state of bankruptcy, paid a very high compliment to the •talente of Miss Fanny itembie, observing that it was only through bee means that great establishinent had been preserved from ruin. The LORD CHANCELLOR bore to-tirnony to this statement of the learned counsel, observing th at t h at was fact of which there could be no doubt. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN thus proceeded. With ew . pest to the misrepresentations with which Mr. Harris had been charged as to the accounts, the learned counsel would take upon himself to assert there was not a stogie misrepre. sensation existed in them, though they might have been kept upon an erroneous principle. The charge against Mr. liar. vie of giving silver tickets to Mr. Coutts was totally un founded • and so satisfied were the respondents ok tkat, t bat they had withdrawn that part of their ease. The !awned' counsel concluded his opening at one o'clock, confident that the decision of their Lordships would be favtiurable to his. client. Mr. THINLY followed make . same side, and filtharo. atedinp were postponed to Friday next.
