The recent Meeting of the Freeholders of the county of Suffolk proved the wish of that body, to be decidedly in favour of a Ilethrm in Parliament, and we are sure that wish is reciprocated, from a conviction of its necessity, by every honest man—by every one who shares not " the loaves and fishes," the distribution of which is consequent from the present state of that House, which, instead of being, as it ought to be, the real representatives of the people, is, in point of fact, merely the Echo to the measures of Ministers, be they what they may.— This Reform, we hope, will effected without a revolution, because we have a very high authority to support our own opinion, that " if the House of Commons be not reformed within its own doors, it will soon be reformed from without with a ven geance." The Session of Parliament now com mencing will assemble under more fearful circum stances than any other has done in our political meatc.ry, and Ecw:amy and Retreachment are the altars on %Welt must be sacrificed every other con sideration: these offerings must no longer be confined to the discharge of intrior Clerks—it must extend to all classes; and the example of Louis XVIII. is worthy of George IV.—when he addressed the Chambers on his second restoration, and acknow. We regret to find that the outrages in Ireland, so far from subsiding, are in daily increase—a very considerable degree of organization seems to exist among the people, and in some instances they have even become the assailants of the military.—We have always considered that an amelioration of the state of the Irish Catholics, and a decrca.sc of the un just oppressions they groan under, which we have repeatedly enumerated, must take place before tran quillity can be expectcl— 1 special commission may sit for ever, but will not restore quiet to a CATHOLIC Kingdom whose inhabitants, after supporting their own ministers liberally, are compelled to pay tythes to those of a religion they abjure and abhor. At Boulogne-sur-11 er, notwithstanding the great number of English residents, provisions are still re markably cheap, particularly fish and poultry. A fine hare may be purchased for about two francs and a half (two shillings English) ; a goose fur two francs: fowls for three francs a pair ; and fish enough for a large family for about one shilling.— Vegetables and fruit are to be had for almost miaing ; and milk and butter are very cheap.— llouse-rent is comparatively dear. In a family of fifteen or sixteen persons a furnished house will cost sixty pounds a year the landlord paying taxes. lt is calculated that in the summer there are five or six thousand English in Boulogne and its immediate neighbourhood. Even at present there are said to be nearly four thousand. Within the last two months; two or three noted Englishmen, who had left deur remembrances in their London tradesmen's books, have tried with success a second edition of the same scheme upon the credulous people of Bou logne. One sprig of fashion has absconded from that place, after incurring debts there to the amount of two thousand pounds ! A few days since, a respectable tradesman of Exeter applied to a clergyman in the neighbourhood for a debt of 501.: the reverend gentleman, expecting the demand, had previously assembled his tenants, who owed him 8001 and offered to accept 4001. from them, on a day specili. d, and forgive them the re maining half. The day arrived—not one of the te nants appeared—and the tradesman's bill remains unsatisfied. We fear occurrences of this nature are too general ; and such is the reciprocity of interest between agricultural and domestic commerce, that the distress of one must necessarily re-act oat the other. A gentleman of Edinburgh, being pressed the other day to subscribe to the national monument to be erected in that city, to commemorate the events of the late war, replied, " I'll do nag sic thing—the .National Dcbt,i my opinion, is monument enough."

THE NATIONAL REGISTER ledge(' the unexampled distress of the country, he urged the necessity of economy, and added, that his example should not be wanting, for that until the situation of France should lya ameliorated, he would only receive two-thirds of the amount voted to him for the civil list, and ad,led, that all his Ministers should be subject to the sant,: reduction.—Let his Majesty resolve on the same line of 'conduct, and be will be deservedly popular—let him order a curtail ment of expence in every department, without ex ception, and he will soon be convinced that the ardent attachment of an English people is a better, and to an English and constitutional Member of the House of Brunswick a more appropriate guard than the mercenary sabres, muskets, and bayonets of a sol diery unconstitutionally cooped up in barrack, with a view to alienate them from the feelings of citizens of a free state, the effect of which estrangement was pretty manifestly exhibited both in the murder at Cumberland-gate, and the attempt at murder at the Knightsbridge-barraks. But to return to the approaching Sessional business—if an entire change of measures and ministers (which would be hailed as a blessing by the kingdom at large) cannot be obtained, we hope the present unworthy occupants of the Treasury Benches will com.! forward man fully, and to their country confess, with the prodigal Son—" We have sinned against Heaven and against thee," and as they must still be forced upon us as our " hired Servants" promise to change their prac tices—to consider the present pauperised state of the Agricultural, Manufacturing, and all other parts of the community, and to lend themselves to any measures that may probably conduce to their relief. Extract of a letter from Elves in Portugal, dated January 2, I :—" Having again re-established myself here, 1 am engaged in collecting wools, and now make Antwerpt, Aixla Chapelle, and Ver. viera, what Leeds and Huth:l.sfield were to m 2 bcMre the tax was imposed in En-land on the im- portation of fbrcign - wool. I Live already sent large quantities of tvoel, I have received back one considerable parcel of cloths, and have advice of two much larger shipments from Antwerp. 1 have besides sold 132 bags of wool for cash, to an Ame rican, fur the supply of their manufacturers." At a meeting of the Agriculturists of Sussex, of the Rape of Brandwr, on Friday last, Sir C. M. Burrell st.itcd at the meeting, that of Chichester, a few days since, a gentleman took 43 sovereigns, d nut being in the habit of receiving gold, failed in the necessary precaution of ringing them , upon iv - vestigation it was discovered that 11 of the sovt reigns were made of platina, and were intrinsically worth only ss. each, though weighing the same as sterling gold ; and being as well executed, they bade defiance to detection, except i by their different sound from the more valuable metal they were coined to represent. Very large shipments of' British manufactured goods have been made, and arc still making, to the Southern parts of the world. This demand has the merit fir the present, of keeping all the manut:ic. tuners at work, but well-informed merchants doubt whether the result will be equally beneficial. The quantity going out is greater than the markets are likely to consume. These goods are generally sold at from 18 months to two years credit, and it is known that money has been raised, in more instances than one, on ,the property, by the shippers, before the vessels have sailed from the British shores. EARTHQUAKE. -01 1 Tuesday week, about ten o'clock at night, many of the inhabitants of Seaton Ross, Foggathorpe, and Holm upon Spalding Moor, in Yorkshire, were alarmed by the smart shock of an earthquake. Several families who had just is • tired to rest felt their beds shake under them, and some, in the moment of' surprise and affright. sprang out of them upon the floor; others, who were still up, felt their chairs move with them, and some ren out of doors to see what was the matter : a rumbling noise was heard, and in two houses the bells rang of themselves. The shock was also felt in the villages of Beilby, Everingham, Allerthorpe, and Melbourn- A vessel has arrived at Liverpool from Buenos Ayres, with letters to the 30th October, ten days later than the advices previously received from the same quarter; but they do not contain any political news. Order and tranquillity prevailed, and the atlitirs of the Government were gradually becoming snore organized. The markets were glutted with merchandise, which had induced several English houses established there to send cargoes round Cape Horn, to Chili and Peru ; and this circumstance will, no doubt, add to the dilemma of the many speculators who already swarm on all the shores of the Pacific. The Austrian Observer of the 18th instant, gives the fidlowing account of a singular commotion which took place at Constantinople on the 20th of Dec. and in which the Turkish students figured " It is known that a great number of young men are educated at Constantinople near the Mosques, who are detined to be expounders of the law.— Those who belong to the Mosque of Sultan Ma hornet 11. have always enjoyed the greatest privi leges, and pass for the most zealous supporters of Islamism. One of the teachers, a man of learning, had lately been banished for some indiscreet expres sions against rale of the members of the Govern ment. When the students heard of the fact, they assembled in great numbers (2,000), proceeded to to the palace of the Mufti,. and loudly demanded the recall of their preceptor. To show their peace able disposition they had left their arms behind..... This great crowd, however, occasioned some confu sion, but the Grand Vizier restored order by pro mising them the return of their tutor." AWFULLY SUDDEN DRATIL—On Friday last, Mr. Robert Blusson, of Park-place, Islington, (the senior churchwarden of that parish), attended a sale by Mr. Shuttleworth, at the Auction Mart, of the cellar of wines belonging to a gentleman of High. bury, and while shaking hands with a friend who had just entered the room, fell back in a fit—raedi. cal aid was instantly procured, but every attempt at resuscitation was ineirectual.—The deceased was highly respected, was in the prime of life, and appa rently in very robust health. The shock occasioned in the room by this melancholy occurrence was so great, us to entirely stop the sale fur a very consi able time. On Wednesday morning, as the mail coach was proceeding up Framwellgate, Durham, to the North, one of the leaders, a valuable horse, the p pert Mr. Ward, of the Waterloo Inn , dr o pp ed down and died almost instantly, roy of A hedge-sparrow's nest, with eggs, was found at Horsley, near Guildford, List week; a singular proof of the mildness of the season. atik l447 ma : - '••••ire • • • ~..0111111r • .. 4' . , .! • r - 7...
