Petitions were al.o Kt set led from Richmond, and from the Borough of Southwark in favour of Reform. Mr. BUXTON sent that be had to present seventl hurdreds of pe. Adam against negro slavery. He had been imluteti to refrain from presenting them during the time that the reform question was more immediately under consideration. He said he would more platten fatly direct the attention of the house to one of the petitions from the whole body of Quakers. He said that that body were the first who had ever petitioned against Colonial .lavery, and that 40 years ago they had renewed their petition, and had a resolution passed in their body and recorded, declaring the practice to be totally incon sistent with the tenets of Christianity. Glasgow and Liverpool he also named from among the vast number of petitions he had to pre sent on the same subject. Mr. WILKES made a few remarks on the subject in which he denied that the Quakers bad been the first to petition against the slave trade. Sir E. LLOYD presented Reform petitions from the county of Flint; from Flint ; from St. Assph ; from a third place in Flint. Also a pe tition for retrenchment and Reform, fkom Holywell; and an anti slavery petition, from another place in Flint. Colonel WEBB presented a Reform petition, Rout a :place in Gloucestershire. Sir T. BARING presented a Reform petition, front the county of Huntingdon, agreed to unanimously, with the exception only of the two member; for the county—by a meeting of 5,000 persons. The hon. member read the petition. Sir R. VFW AN was surprised the petitioners should call Parlia ment neglectful of the distress of the people when the majority of the supporters of Reform were those who last year voted against the inquiry into the state of the country. Mr. SPRING RICE said the late Ministers and their supporters were precisely those who opposed the motion. After a few words from Sir R. ITTVYAN and Sir T. BAILING, who said the petition did not contain one word about distress, DUNCOMBE said, the present Chancellor of the Exchequer bad voted against the motion. The reason he assigned was a paltry, insignificant, and trumpery excuse that the inquiry would turn upon the eunency. 134 J. GRAHAM must :repel, in the absence of his Noble Friend the use of such expressions. His cooduct in that house had never de served the epithets of paltry, insignificant, and trumpery. After a few words from Sir C. - WETHERELL, Mr. DUNCOM BE said, he had y a r g t ed. dthe weed not to the conduct of the Noble Lord, but the reason a Sir W. HEATHCOTE (the Member for Huntingdoo) regretted to differ from his constituents, but he could not but think the Ministerial plan most impolitic. An Hon. MEMBER said, the conduct of certain members who were returned without ever seeing their constituents, such as the members for the Isle of Wight, and who talked about Reform not being demanded by the country, was an insult to their constituents and the nation. The SPEAKER was sure the expression had fallen inadvertently from the hon. member. But it was against the rules to apply such an expression to the members of that house. The Hon. MEMBER explained. Sir T. BARING presented a petition from Chippingwickham in fa. your of Reform. Lord NORKEYS presented petitions from Woodstock and Chip. pingnorton for the abolition of slavery. Sir JOHN BURKE presented a petition from the Barony of Ross, on the western coast of Ireland, complaining of distress; and a petition from Tuam, in favour of the plan of reform proposed by ministers, end praying fora representative for their town. sir R. BATLSON presented a petition from Londonderry, in favour of the plan of reform proposed by ministers ; and a similar petition from Newtownliniavady ; and two petitions from Londonderry, for the abolition of slavery. Mr. DICKENSON presented a petition from Bath, against the beer houses. Sir R. VYVYAN hoped ministers would provide a remedy for the growing evil of beer houses under the late act. Mr. S. RICE presented a petition from Galway, in favour of the Bill of Reform before the House. Mr. B KOWN LOW presented a petition from the city of Antrim, in favour of the plan of Reform proposed by Ministers, and a similar 'rondo° from Down ; and a petition from Armagh for the repeal of the Union • and a petition from the Catholic Bishop and Clergy of Dro . more, for a participation in the grant made by Parliament for education, and a petition front Port.a.down against slavery. Mr. Ald. W A ITHM AN presented a petition from the ward of cord. wainers in favour of the bill for Reform of Parliament before the house; and a similar petition from a very respectable society called the Lumber Troop. Mr. W. WHIT MORE presented a similar petition from Bridegnorth. Mr. GUEST presented a petition from Honiton in favour of reform. Mr. ATT WOOD presented a petition from Bristol for the repeal of the assessed taxes. Mr. S. RICE brought in a bill to regulate the taxes paid by the citizens of Dublin for local purposes.—Read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time the 26th of April. The house adjourned at Half.put Ten o'clock. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. LEICESTER CIIRC)NICLE, MARCH 26. The High Sheriff has called a county meeting on the 29th. The intense interest excited in all persons, and in all parties, by the Reform Bill of the King and his Ministers, absorbs every other feeling. It is impossible to describe the breathless impatience with which the division on the second reading was anticipated, and when a majotity in favour of the bill was ascertained, the first eager enquiry naturally had reference to the position of our town and county members. Mr. Keck was found ranged for the Bill,—Lord Robert Manners against it; Mr. Ryan. for the Bill ; Sir Charles Hastings against it. Lord Althorp has sent forth the noble declaration, " That the time was past when the government of this nation can be carried on by Patronage,"—the house of Commons, even as at present constituted, has confirmed this truth,—the King,—William the DELIVERER, has sanctioned it, and the people, with one universal acclaim of exultation and approbation, have received it with heartfelt satisfaction, as the only means of warding off impending uproar, confusion, and Revolution. The people must not think, however, that their work is done,—they must not permit supineness for a single instant to come over them. In consequence of the great exactions demanded from the parishioners of Broughton Astley, for tithes, they held • vestry meeting a few days ago on the subject, when they came to the determination to lay their grievances before both Houses of Parliament. Out of more than fifty Banisters on this (the Midland Circuit.) 11 only signed the petit ion in favour of the plan of Reform introduced by his Majesty's Ministers ! Mr. Baron Vaughan—At a Common Hall of the Corporation on the 18 h inst. the following resolution was unanimously adopted : That this corporation is desirous of seising the present occasion of Mr. Baron Vaughan's first visit to Leicester, as one of the Judges of Assize, to offer him their sincere congratulations upon his honourable and well-merited elevation, and again to record the high esteem and re gard which they bear towards him. That this corporation holds in proud recollection the long and interesting period of their connection with Mr. Baron Vaughan, as Recorder of this Borough—an eventful period of upwards of twenty-two years--during which he fulfilled the duties of that office with pre-eminent ability, spirit, impartiality, and independence, and thereby promoted the honour and dignity of this corporation, and the best interests of the town. That the corporation also feel proud to claim Mr. Baron Vaughan as a fellow.townsman, and that they are desirous of embodying these feelings and recollections in some luting memorial, gratifying to them selves. and to the town at large. That with this view, Mr. Baron Vaughan be respectfully but earnestly requested to allow his portrait to Ire taken, at the expense of the corporation, to be placed in the Town. hall, among other distinguished individuals who have reflected honour and conferred benefits upon the town, and whose memory will be held in the deepest veneration. Charles Alarch Phillippa, Esq. of Garendon Park, has let to the in babitants of Hathern a quantity of land, for the growth of potatoes for their families, at a moderate rent.

Williamson, of Queninborough, in the night be tween the 21st and 224 of January last. The principal evidence which came out, tending to fix suspicion upon the prisoner, was his own ad missions and contradictions before and after the fire. Mr. Taylor, a Mucha of Rearaby, said the prisoner came to his stall in Leicester, and told him "He did not know any thing of the fire, or he would have gone and assisted in putting it out, for it was a great pity that the corn should be burnt, but if it had been a fire for his muter. (the prosecutor), he should like to have thrown him into it." He had previously told other pawns he had seen the fire from Thunnaston.— While in custody, he also said he saw the premises fired, and mentioned the name of one of the two persons who did the act, but denied being concerned in it himself, though he admitted stealing some wool, which he sold tor 101.

The trial com menced about half-past nine, and ended at three, when the jury retired to consider their verdict, and remained locked up till six o'clock, when they returned a verdict of not guilty. To the charge of stealing the wool, Ward pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to be transported for life. MARA! ED..-51r. E.

At a Meeting of the free Burgesses of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, called by public advertisement, and held in the Guild-hall on Wednesday, the 18th day of March, 1831. Archibald Reed, Esq. Mayor, in the Chair, The following resolutions were proposed and passed: That this Meeting highly spore , es, upon the whole, of the wise and effectual plan for Reform of Parliament introduced into the House of Commons by Lord John Russell, and particularly they approve of that part which extends the right of voting to householders, and limits it to resident burgesses ; but they are of opinion, that the case of the young men, who are now under indenture of apprenticeship for seven years, in full expectation of equal rights with the free burgesses, and who, by the proposed plan, will be deprivedpf the most material part of their franchise, deserves to be taken into serious consideration. — And whereas at present the electors of Newcastle are in number up wards of five thousand, your petitioners conceive that your present plan of Reform will eventually reduce the electors of the town to the num ber of fifteen hundred, unless your honourable house should determine that the franchise should be handed down from father to son, and from master to apprentice, as heretofore. PITWEN or TIM TYKE axes WEAL—As we anticipated, • large meeting of the pitmen employed in the collieries of the Tyne and Wear was held on Monday the 21st inst. on the Town Moor of Newcastle.— Several thousands of them in their way passed through our streets in the course of the forenoon. The Mayor went in a carriage to the Moor and has just returned (at half-past two o'clock P. x.) His Worship told them he would be happy to be the medium of conveying a state meet?) of their grievances to their employers, if they t ht fit to com municate them—that if they conducted themselves ly. as he had no doubt they would, he would not interfere with t They bad a right to meet among themselves to discuss their grievances--but if they committed any breach of the peace the magistrates would be obliged to exercise their authority. The men received the Mayo: with every mark of respect, thanked him and cheered him, but did not state their grievances. We trust this great body of men will return to their work without keeping the town in a state of ferment, sad 100011. veniencing the trade of the port. The men at six of the collieries on the Tyne, namely, at Willington, Burdon Main, Percy Main, Heston, Benwell, and Coxlodge, have renewed their engagements again for 12 months, but we believe none of the Wear men have been bound. We have heard it rumoured that some of the dissatisfied meant to prevent those who have engaged with their employers from going to their work. We hope this is incorrect, for the authorities will certainly give no sanction to any such proceedings. Four o'clock.—The meeting has broken up, and the men have again passed quietly through the town. They have resolved to require certain fines and other grievance to be done away before they will return to their work. Since our last paper was published, a change has taken place in the aspect of electioneering affairs in this neighbourhood. Mr. J. Smalling has declared himself a candidate for South Shields. There are now three gentlemen, therefore, offering themselves to represent that town— Mr. Ingham, Mr. Ogle, and Mr. Brandling. At North Shields, also, there is an alteration. Mr. M. D. C. Lawson has expressed his dis inclination to come forward. Mr. Brandling has gone, as we have stated, to North Shields; and Mr. Powles, it is now understood, has no ob jection to represent North Shields. At a public meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the county of Northumberland. held in the County Court at Morpeth, on Wednes day the 18th March pursuant to public advertisement—Geo. Silvertop, Ilaq. High Sheriff, in the chair • when the usual resolutions and peti tions were agreed to in favour of the Reform Bill. MARRIED.-3l r.

A meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants d Cornwall, con vened by the sheriff, in uence of the requisition presented to him a few days since, was held at min, on Wednesday last. The favour able state of the weather for agricultural labours prevented so large an attendance of the yeomanry as was anticipated, but still there were nearly two thousand persons present, and as the Assisi Hall would not contain so large a concourse of persons, a temporary hustings was erected in the extensive area before the Court-house.— After the meeting about 200 gentlemen dined at Oliver's, W. Peter, Esq. in the Chair. After the cloth was removed, the chairman gave several constitutional toasts, and the pleasure of the evening was in creased by several animated addresses. It was also proposed by the gentlemen present that in the event of an early county election, W. Pe ter, Esq. should be nominated as a candidate, to which they pledged their sup Mr. Peter acknowledged his sense of their kindness, and ex his willingness to be put in nomination. CaLtincrrox.—At a public vestry held on Thursday the 17th Inst. it was agreed to employ the labouring poor of the parish in making a new road over a part of Hingston Down, leading tot alstock, &c. the old one having been for some time considered very dangerous. A con siderable portion of the labouring class in the neighbourhood of this place have been unemployed during the greater part of the winter, and receiving at the rate of 9s. per week from the parish. The pooh' rate of Callington, though not an extensive parish, shows an increase in the passing year, of from two to three hundred pounds t the next it is feared will be still worse. Even young and able men throw themselves wholly on the parish for support.

The em pi e t een e had recently been engaged in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Ssessisee. Frequent words arose between her and her mistress. They werensa b. bling last week, when the girl told Mrs. Summers that the " wens, servants like a devil," upon which Mr. Summers came up, peaked the complainant with violence, and dismissed her, without first psylegber. having previously sent for a policeman and searched her boat. The Blagistrate told Mr. Summers that he had done wrong in searching the girl's box without a warrant, and recommended him to settle with her and compensate her for the assault. MR.

LAW REPORTS. COURT OF CHANCERY, Maims Se. • lIIIIT.CATCRIS CAVORT. At the Sitdng of the Court a person at short stature, with a pow dared heed, beW forehead, dressed fa black, and wearing hessian boots, presented himself between the bar and the bench, and immediately be gan to address the Court. In commencing he headed ups paper to his which. on nemlbg, his lordship said could not be com with. The individual himself Daman , end said that he ap peared ea behalf of a poor man named West, to ask for an injunction to restrain the sale of stock by executors. The Loup Cantcsr.r.on said he could not interfere. Donneen—My Lord. I appear for this poor man, who is without Cooled. 'The Loan Carinclett.on—Yes, but you are not a banister; and there are two modes by which a suitor may COMO into a Court of Joss ties—these were, either personally or by Counsel. If be is too poor to employ an Attorney and Counsel, there is a mode provided by whirl be may get the antstance of a Solicitor, and there is no Banister, *MD the lowest to the highest, who will not sifted a poor man, who has any right to complain, every assistance. Daman said the poor man was now in Court. The Lord Chew cellar requested him to come forward. He did so, and stated, in answer to ques tion s put to him by his Lordship, that be was a grocer, bad no attorney, and was without money to employ one. His Lordship then pointed out the mode by which he might sue inform peruperie. Sir R. STIODIN requested to have the papers delivered to him, say- Ing be would look through them. In a short time afterwards Sir F.. &Idea called Duman to him, and asked are you an accountant? Dunnean--t am. Sir E. Suorrox—l suppose you charge the plaintiff, as ou are ro ared to style him in these papers, more than any Attorne y would Dunnean—No, I do not; I do not charge him any thing. Sir E. SVGDZW••••I do not believe a word of it. now dare you come here and state that there is a salt existing, when in point of fact thee is no such suit ? Ave you aware that you may be sent to the Fleet ? You have interfered has as an Attorney, and I have no doubt you have charged the poor fellow pretty well for it. You are one of those catching fellows that ought to be put down. Stand back, Sir. ntDUDD B. Itill withdrew to the end of the bar. In about ten minutes sub uen, eft SUDDEN Mild—My Lord, I have new Ned these papers, and this really is a matter that ought to be takes meths of. The parson who comes forward on this occasion as the ebemglon et C dr needL= himself John Dunnean, of Doctors' Casua l la es City of accountant and estate agent; and he is Lusk ll nillevits, very eche& cally beading them in a cause, that cause beam Thomas Wee and his wife against the Governess awl dm Qmpay el the Bank ef England. My opinion is, that hats Nig Goan Wimasy, and I th en the inference that be will charge about ten these so mink as any anew ney would do for this business. I have never seen any thing more is. proper. First of all, the rules of the Court give ma opportunity to en* poor man to come and sue as a pauper, sad no plow man with the slightest claim can have the least difficulty in aloft belhaslidtora mei counsel to act for him ; but nothing seems to me to nooks esprobatien so much as these accountants and estate agents ferreting eat MONS Mi l bringing forward such mesas the present. There is not ills alllghlustl pretence for asking for an injunction in this case. Dunnean—What I mean --- Sir E. SUDDEN—You ought to hold your tongue, Sir. The LORD CHANCILLOR—CataiIIIy you have DO bushels. la Court at all. Dunnean—l hope I may be allowed to answer this gendemes. which I consider myself capable of doing. The poor man came M I me some time ago; he stated that his uncle and mother were wasting his father's property. I made inquiry into the circumstances. I found they had sold out hundreds of pounds' worth of stock. I went to the Bank of England and petitioned the Governors, finding that the stock was to come to this poor man and his children in reversion. The uncle and the mother are Executor and Executrix. They have gone on selling out all the stock, collected the book debts and ap plied the money to their own use, and are now going to sell out more of the stock. The Loan CHANCELLOR—But I cannot hear a person who has no Counsel, and who does not appear himself. You have no right to speak. Dunnean—l am competent to tell your Lordship the state of this poor man. The LORD CHANCELLOR—No person Is competent to DOOM into Court of Justice and make an attack upon the anisette of individuals in public merely upon the information of a party. Dunnean—This is es parts. The LOaD Cuaumet.Loa—E2.parte You talk about things you know nothing about. Let me warn you of one thing. There is a sta tute made which gives very severe penalties against persons—and com mitment to prison for twelve moths is DO uncommon thing under that Statute—penalties against a person taking upon himself to act as an Attorney, he not being an Attorney. Are you aware of that? Dunnean-1 am. TDB LORD CHANCELLOR—Then take care of it, for I can tell you this is:very like acting as an Attorney'. Dunnean—l don't think it is. That gentleman (pointing to Sir E. Sugden) knows that I have got thousands and thousands out of the Court, the transfer of which has been opposed. Sir E. Sutanzir-1 know no such thing. I believe no such thing. I believe you are acting as an Attorney, a nd you are satis fied that you would have a considerable share of this if any thing were to be got. Dunnean—What right have you to ea so ? Sir E. Svontx—Because its your know it to be so. Dunnean You say so because you are aware I have got hundreds and hundreds out of this Court, which you have uneaccessfully oPPosed• Sir E. Suonzw—No such thing, and I only wish to warn people from going to you. I know no poor person will go to you without having to pay infinitely more for it than they would have to pay to a regular attorney. I also know that when I attended at the Fleet pri. son crowds of solicitors came forward to give their assistance, without ever dreaming of receiving a shilling for their services ; therefore it is not ma to circulate that poor persons were not to have both counsel and microbe to do their business for them gratuitously. The Loan Citaxestr.on. I have known solicitors actually pay money out of their own pockets. Sir R. Suonzw. Yes, over and over again, and I warn poor people from going to such a person u this. Dunnean. I will prove— The Loan CMANCICLLOI. I tell you, Sir, you must go away. A Counsel has: a right to be heard, a party has a right to be heard, but you have no right to speak. Doman. But be (pointing to Sir FL Sugden) is charging me with that which is untrue. The Lou) Cnaarczt.Loi—No, no. It may be satisfactory to Mr. West to know, that if his awe had been in the hands of Counsel, his object could not have been obtained. Sir g SVGDEN—Certainly ; and I wish the party distinctly to un derstand, that if it could have been got, I should certainly have asked your Lordship foe the injunction. Dunnean—lt is only for an injunction. Sir E. SUODEX—ReaIIy, is It to be endured that every person is to come here and talk about things he does not understand in this perti nacious way ? The Loan Crtawcim.on—Yes ; and it shall not be again. Dunnean—l come here for the sake of humanity. Sir E. Simony—l don't believe a word of it. Dunnean (as he was withdrawing from the end of the bar)—l kno w you are angry because you have not get a fee. The Loan Cnancrixon—That's not very likely, when Sir Edward volunteered to look through the papers and to act. One of the Paris papers, edited by a well-known gour mand, calls upon the French government to stop the further progress of the Austrians in Italy, on the irresistible ground that " they have elready stopped the supply of Bologna sausages, by entering that town, and, if not stopped, will certainly destroy all the Parmesan cheese now in store 1" A robbery of a most daring description, and to a very large amount, was perpetrated last week in the Regent stage-coach, running ct betwixt gdinbutgh and Glasgow a box. belonging to the Corn a Banking Company, containing about 6,7001. in bank-notes and gold, having been taken from the boot of the coach, and robbed of its contents. It appears that on Monday last the driver of the coach re ceived from a woman to Airdrie money to pay for four inside seats for Thursday, and subsequently the two remaining seats for that day were let at the coach-office in Glasgow. On the coach start ing, however, none of the people to whom they were let took up their seats ; but at Parkbead a man and woman hailed the driver and entered the coach, with which they proceeded till about a tulle and a half on the other side of the Airdrie, where they directed the coach to be stewed, and came out, the door having been opened to them by an ea ridds Tit; wash then drove on, but no discovery of the robbery had . place till it reached Uphall, when It was disco vered that an aperture had been cut through the body of the coach into the boot, and that the box belonging to the Commercial bask, which was deposited there, had been broken open, and curs ehnis of the money carried efL The box was secured by a chain and gas* which were wrenched of. and the robbers, after carefully spgasgelnelng all money, bad returned the box to its forme position, les — vbig ibeh DI all bills and other papers they could have no use for. The nose were principally of the Qvms.arl bank, and consisted of SOL M. and IL note& A number of them had blue borders of a peons: description, not generally in timbale*, and which will nay be detected. It is said there were about 3001. in gold. Im mediately on the Intelligence of this daring robbery reaching Glasgow, an officer, accompanied by one of the gentlemen of the branch bank hat, set Of in the direetlen of Airdrie, in search of the robbers, but hitherto without success. The driver of the coach is quits unable to give any mount of the appearance or dress of the man and woman who I were to the coach, but we believe the passenger who assisted them es has been able partially to furnish a deserlinioo.—Ghurne Chroniele.
