of taxation . week!, probably, however, lead to blows I but the contest would not be long, with all the might and the richt on one side, and a house of self. w illed nervous peen ow the other. The wisdom of our ancestors leniently** theft of admiration. We may refer to it for example two hundred years ago, in the noble sacrifices which wesemmle of meow and personal liberty for the resistance of smowtheehled taw lion. whence the spirit of martyrdom wwa mi cratea. and out of it the spirit of liberty universally The rela tions of hostility are altered. Our diwatlees.farefaihees had to cope with the usurpations of the noon; we have to deal with the usurpations of Parliament. When straggling against the Stuart tyranny, the ay was against •• bi shops and retina-hearted lords." The quaint has sot yet ended. It is not manifestly the dispodticm of the Peers to resist all measures having fog object theprometion of justice, and the rights or benefit of the people ? • Is rot every wise and benevolent project certain to be thinned and defeated in the House of Lords ? The principle of asilthaale is consecratedein the Irresponsible Chamber. Its osombors an melt who, in their proud isolations, are ignorant of the state and temper of the world, and Oared up with' sow arming confidencein their own influence and powers. Shedd they he rash enough to throw out the Reform Bill, eso.lne' scant they learn their true position by the awful cons they will take fright and retract; but by that time nib. chief will be done, and then a claim. beyond any now made en their justice, must be .et up. The people wal demand that the men who, by by their wicked obstinacy have die. orclered society, shall pay largely for the damage. If men are temrird by the powers of large fortunes to throw their country into commotion, those large fortunes should be looked to fur such compensation as they can render for the mischief. Nothing but fear will act upon these infatuated persor.s, and for fear they should be made to have selfish reason. Their fortunes make them least sensible of public disorders, and their fortunes should be answerable for the vicious obstinacy by which such disorders may be caused. Our own persuasion is, that the reform bill will either be thrown out,or thrown down to the commonsamilated In every good feature, the franchise raised, and places struck out of the Schedules A and B. The Ministers will probably be inclined to accept it in this state, but the people will not. When the alarm is taken. It is not im poss ibl e that mingham, Leeds, Marchester, rte. may be diapered to come up to Westminster, to reason with the Lards; but we think that the adoption of a national declaration, respectfully ad- dressed to the Crown and House of Commons, throughout Vie country, would be preferable to any movement which would place the Government in a difficult position. Such a declaration should be of three pithy parts: Ist. Statement or chief grievances ; 2d. Hopelessness of remedy, by reason of the obstinacy of the House of Peers; 3d. Resolution., Political Unions should instantly be everywhere esta- 1 hlished, and their delegates should confer as to the terms of a manifesto, which may be nationally adopted." COBBErrs REGISTER.—Now for Sir Jemmy, the' humane softener of the Criminal Code. Sir Jemmy, when he began the humane work, distinctly stated, that be did not mean to extend his softening. to that pan of the code which related to political off aces. Not he, indeed; his humanity was of tco sublime and refined a sort to *spin between libellers and destruction: his tender beast yearned only for pick-pockets, thieves, house-breakers, bone. stealers robbers, and the like unfortunate fellow.crestares. Whether he included those guilty of not-to-be-named offences, I do not recollect; but I know that he particu larly disavowed all ince, tion to soften the new treason laws, the soldier-seducing death laws, and all those offences and laws relating to those offences classed tinder the names of sedition, blasphemy, and libelling. Sir Jemmy, rte do him justice, did cause the laws which autho rized the hanging ow a burning of witches and wizards to be repealed 1 Humane Scotclkman ! and so, for the future, no poor woman will be burned as a witch, and no man hanged as a wizard. During the time that Sir Jemmy has been at work in softening the code, it has been made transportation for seven years, by the justices of the peace, for being out poachingin the night ; magii mrates have been authorised by thenew trespass law to com mit men to jail and to bodily punishment, for trespass even so great as the stepping out of a footpath. I: has been made felony to take an apple offs tree • and he, good Sir Jammy, hard at work softening the code all the while ; but Ellen borough's act has been lassoed, which act, improved by Sir Jemmy's fast friend, the Marquis of Lansdale% has made it death barely to strike any matt who causcause a bill of indictment to be preferred against the party sulking, charg ing that party with intent to murder, though the party stricken has received no wound and no Aurtuthalsoetter • and on this law it was Mat Judge Vaughan condemned to ' death and sent to the gallows, Hen. Cook, a ploughman of Michel dryer, who struck Bingham Baring in a fray, the said Bingham Bering being actively engaged at a meeting of magistrates at Alresford the verj next day, and being, three days after that, engaged in the renowned adventure at Har well, in the apprehending and handcuffing of Mr. and Mrs. Dente. This law should now be called the Ellenborough- Lansdown Law ; but, I allow that this law is necessary as lung as the present system of taxing and of tithing shall remain. During the time that Sir'Jammy has had his soul of humanity riveted to the object of stiffening the Criminal Code, it has been made, in the first place, heavily penal in the way of fine. In the next place, banishment for life ;in the next place, it has been made necessary for writers, pub lishers, and minters,. to be held in bonds beforehand; lastly, and only last year, the time of pleading has been shortened, and the term between conviction and punish. ment bee been taken away ; and there are now Mr. Carlisle, sent at once to two years' jail, and ten years bonds afterwards,' by the Recorder of London ; and Mr. Taylor, stmt to two years felons' jail, heavy fine, and bonds that I have forgotten, by the JIJAiIeCI of the Peace of the county of Surrey 1 These two fur libel. And there is William Sutton, condemned to death in Hampshire, and transported for life, he being 18 years of age, and joining with other lads in a sort of half drunken frolic, for taking four copper pennies from a man in open day; and there is Robert Mason, condemned to death and -transported for life for being in a mob who had pressed him to go with them, and who took 3 shillings from a parson (which the parson gave them,) he, Robert 3lzson, never having touched or seen the money ; but, and to this I always return, there is Harty Cook, lying its the church yard at Mitcheldeter, with neck stretched for having struck Bingham Baring, who came to interrupt a mob of which Cook made a part ; for having struck him without doing him bodily .Wm of any description ; there is the whole group, Sir Jemmy ? Look at them, pining out their lives in jails, sent into slavery for life, or rotting in their graves. snatched oat of life at the age of nineteen : look at them, Sir Jemmy ; look at all the slaves that are now toiling in Botany Bay, in virtue of sentences of joss noes of the peace. for being in pursuit of wild animals ; look at the hundreds and thousands of husbandless wives and fatherless children who have been made such by the criminal cola, which code has actually been made ; been enacted in the assembly to which you belong; been enacted by your consnet t while you have been pouring out your tender reel in the soft accents of humanity, and have been cubing. upon congenial hearts to come to your aid with petitions fur softening the criminal code; but still I say, that all this is necessary is long as one hundred and thir teen prittransissellors shall receive as much public money in a year as is paid hr the aggregate poor.iates of nine of the counties of England. TI 111 ES.—We, ott this week, thought it our duty to sound an slam we told our countrymen that THE Dim. was in danger. and.that the danger arose from a strong con viction among the Peers that the nation had ceased to feel any interest in the cause of reform. We knew how unfounded was dm suppdsiticn ; hut we did not presume to put for ward our own mere assertion instead of argument—we called for or idemeaorawe appealed to the universal people to come forwent...ad refute the falsehood. Promptly and energy. firefly, hive they answered our appeal. Every hour acquaints us with the summoning or meeting of some huportant i body for the purpose at urging that reform, which all but boroughmangets consider as the only chance of na tams* salvation. We cannot incorporate in this short article a twentieth part of the appeals for reform pouring in from every quarter; bat we must find room for the intptes sive and powerful appeal of the Bankers and Merchants of Landon, a body slow to be moved, but whose energy and determination are worthy of the deliberate reason which governs their decision.

Excessive Caesar - re • Bor.—Saturday James Neyits and Edward Goulding, were charged with having adminis tered a quandtrof oil of vitriol to Thomas Wood, about eight years of age, whose life is placed in imminent danger. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner Goulding is in the ctuof kir. Carter, jeweller, of William -street, Bruns. w and was noticed as being a very bad boy. On Friday afternoon, about four o'clock, he w as sent b y hi s maser to purcha se some oil of vitriol, wlech is and in the trade. On his way through the street he met with the prisoner Negus, whom he asked to taste it, on which the latter put his tongue to the cork, and said It was very nice. The injured boy was standing by, and they told him it was peppermint-water, and urged him to taste it which he was doing, when Goulding touched the bottle, toned the vitriol down his throat, and burnt him dreadfully. The boy ran hems iersesdag, and was taken to Mr. White ' a surgeon , who rendered every assistance, but the lad has since kept his bed in a dangerous state. Mr. Lame malted Mr. Carter whether the prisoner Gadding was aware of the dtstruc tive quality of vitriol? Mr. Caner replied in the affirms. tive. He had been frequently cautioned not to let it touch his flesh or clothes. Witness had no doubt but the priest's enticed the unfortunate boy to take the vitriol with a mis. chievous motive.

STATISTICS OF PEBRAOSS OR, SENATES OF THE TWO WORLDS. At the present critical moment, when the Peerages of two of the most civilized countries in , the world form the focus of public attention, a pamphlet.by M. DyIAN has opportunely appeared in Paris under the French title—literally translated —of " A Picture of the Organisation of the First Chamber." It is an exceedingly interesting. work, displaying much political and historical re search, and our readers will readily give a, few minutes of their time to a synopsis of it. The researches of M. Dufan may be re duced to two brief sentences : first, that PEERAGES (the first Chamber) are hereditary the whole or in part, wherever there is an 'aristocracy ; second, that Peerages exist for a defined period, or for life, wherever there is no aristocracy. That is the general rule ; but to every rule there are exceptions, and in this instance, die exceptions are particularly deserving of note. For e xample,— Pea cz, with a noblesse only titular, has in its present state an hereditary chamber; on the other hand, POLAND, with a pure aristocracy, has but a first chamber, or peers for life. The Constitutions of eighteen different states are reviewed in the work of M. Duran ; and an analytical table at the end of the pamphlet recapi tulates the precise condition and constitution of their peerages It shows that hereditary peerages exist only in England, the Duchy of Baden, Ba varia, France, the Duchy of Hesse-Darm stadt, • Hungary, and Wirtemberg. The number of peers is unlimited, except in England, France, and Hungary ; 'and in all these countries, the power -of 'nomination, vested in the chief of the state, must I.e in accordance with hereditary right. In some of the German states however, that right is limited; in one alone—the Duchy of Baden— the election by the noblesse and the universities is amalgamated with the pretensions of birth and the prerogative of the Prince. The age of admission is variously fixed by these constitutions; it varies from 21 to 40 years. The constitutions which are most democratic are those, of course, which require the greatest maturity of reason and years in the Senators. Certain condi tions of fortune are prescribed in all the eighteen states, except in the constitutional states of Ger many, (not including Hesse-Darmstadt), in Poland, Belgium, Brazil, and some other republics of South America. The duration of the exercise of the Peerage functions is limited in all the states, excepting those where the chamber is re-elected ; and the period varies from one to nine years. Five States only admit of indemnities to the members of the' Upper Chamber:—these are the Brazils, the, United States, Hayti, Holland, and Norway. The extraordinary right of sitting as a High Court ap pertains only to ten out of the eighteen, namely, England, Brazil, the United States, Prance, Hayti, Hungary, Norway, La Plata, Poland, and Wirtem burg. Of the eighteen Constitutional States which possess a Peerage, or High Chamber, nine are governed by Kings namely, England , Bava ria, Belgium, France, 'Holland, Hungary, Norway, Poland, (?) and Wirtenshing, One alone Brazil, is submitted to an Emperor : two, Baden and Hesse•Darmatadt, are obedieit to * Grand Dukes : six are constituted Republics, and have Presidents, a Director, either temporary or for life. • On this occasion, we have confined ourselves to the above statistical enumeration, without mixing up a single political inference or conclusion from the premises. The work of M. Dufan gives ample scope for considerations of all kinds ; end we are assured had no slight influence amongst our neigh bours, is the recent sweeping measure regarding the first Chamber. Having ample materials for exposing the effects of hereditary influence in the whole of the Eighteen States, we may be induced, et an early period, to recur to the subject. '1:1 Moral and Political Instruction many the Working Claws.—By R. DETIOIII2I. Some time back the Esaissiner called the atten• tion of the public to the writings and labours of Detrosier, who, before then. bad been almost un known beyond the sphere of his own operations. Till then the higher classes, and even the most be. nevolent of them, had been in so g.re.:t and woeful ignorance of the real wants of the labouring classes, that the utmost extent of philanthropy had been to consider them as human beings, whose physical wants and deprivations were unnaturally numerous, and that these should be diminished as much as t ossihle. Of late years, however, the area of instruction has been considerably widened ; ' and, to the irrecoverable horror of high-churchmen, country squires, and most respectable old gentle women, the ,poor are taught not only to read and 'write, but are even admitted to a share in the arena of practical science, which still remains as styled volumes to the majority of these reverend and ri vrFtable objectors. Still much, very much, re alising to be done, and the rich are bestowing ad- Iritte and assistance to the poor, much in the same 'misy that a benevolent 'man might attempt to relieve toe wants of a dumb fellow-creature. The rgns s by which these wants were indicated ; ihere , misinterpreted not wilfully, but from 'the want of that • mutual iatelligence which was indispensably necessary to a right un derstanding between the parties. At length.how ever, the poor have found an organ to express their real wants— the dumb have been gifted with the power of speech—one o has been reared,artiong them ; wl:o has lived atinaboured with them; who is therefore intimately acquainted with their ha- bits, their virtues, their vices, and the causes of them ; one who, if we may so say, is thoroughly versed in their political economy, has stood for ward at once as a friend to them, and as an in structor to others ; and a heavy debt of gratitude is due to Detrosier, not only from those whose cause•he pleads, but also from those before whom it is in a manner pleaded, and who are now, for the first time, furnished with a clear andlurainous statement of the real facts of the case.
