WILSON, we anderstood, agreed to the 'egg's! inn to withdraw his main., for the purpose of calling the Petitioaer to the bar to proceed t. his examination. Lord C. S. CHURCHILL said that his opinion being that the Petitioon being a young inexperienced man, would not give Ms evidence with aelf.pearessiest while in custody, he should move that he be called to the bar and admonished severely as to his folly, sod discharged.

Although the Fresh* are reputed to be the grimi est editors of any People on the earth, yet are they quite Silent on the transactions or that espied, tinegh et a conspisaioe so remarkably striking.— The 01blether of Peers indeed did not sit on Mosday, nee did that of the Deputies, and consequentl♦ the feceday's Papers, those last received, could nit ban any thing to say thersoo.—On the Previous 'day the King held a Court for Ladies as welles Gentlemen, and among the company are mentioned the Duke and Derbies of Anootmemz. On polities, 'fairs neither the Duke nor his brother has been named for a long time pest. We cannot mender In the least that the opinion of these yore( Preen ee.the business of the State de set fall its with its necessities in so particular a crisis.—The Frisch Fends have varied bet little within the last 10 days. The Firs per Cents. are stated to have left elf en Monday et 65(.20c. Private letters quote the laving off price es 45c. higher. Prints letters from Paris signify a great probabi lity, that after all that the King has done there will he • diasoleilon of the Chamber of Deputies. It is, however, smelted by others, that precise, to sod an extreme measure the Ministers will offer a Dill for the segmentation of the number of Deputies, for the purpose of more equity poising the two Chambers. If a disseletion should take place, there can be no doubt, from the dissatisfaction ex. pressed throughout the kingdom at the conduct of the Peers, that the new Elections will ran, with scarcely any eac►ption, in (scour of the Itilinistrrill Party, amid which, strange as it may appear in this instance, would be tbe Kingly and Pointer Party. The easminsiims of witnesses in the ease of the Honourable WYNDII Qum, was continued In the Hoene of Commons lift night. Mr. STUART Worri.ty repeated his observation that it world Ma high breach of privilege to publish any part of these proceedings until the blames of Evidence should be published by order of the Hoes,. The solicitude of Mr. WIIITIRY, sod the secrecy of the transaction, have laterally raised public expectation to an en. wool height. Fee. the extension and diffusion of general knew. ledge, and especially of political knowledge, the amanitas! Sovereigns 'Tines more respect for the ogaimse *blab. ;objects on matters of Stale. The Geneses, who have always been a sensible sod se lecting People. are visibly altered and improved wish respect In political economy. The lien. tourism are stymieing boo their Constitution with a coolness and determioation that surprise end even startle their Governors. Prattle, notwith staviding its quota of the great sum paid to it by the French, finds its Treasury fa► from well supplied.— To fill op this deficiency in some measure, it has adopted • new Tariff of Duties, and this measure has excited the Electorate of Huss and the Govern. vomits of Brunswick, Hanover, and several other con tiguous, to do the same thing by way of reprisal.-- This contention among confederate Stales shows in the clearest light the dire evils of war. There is sot a Power which engaged in it, whether by compulsion or free will, that does not keenly feel its disastrous effects, without contemplating the oceans of blood. shed in its prosecution. The Etlitor'nf 011;faig Journal has tbnoght proper to throw a shade Inc Rennin, by ousting all idea of what he terms* Uhiuersol Svffrage. We hues not accustomed ourselrea to the term universal, because we know to many of our readers, mod of ear sincere friend', who ctinsider the object unat tainable, and even undefinable; that opini tttt of the object and reluctance to attempt it, and saes to countenance the idea nf it, hare been wreoght by the doctrines and titiji.fiirills is•tiell through the columns of that Newspoper we remark on, end others equally respectable, in the rams way of arguing.— , We are hsbitsated to speak of, and call for, Radi i cal Reform, and to that teat we shall hold.

At what point will he stop? 119 weeld le ell likelihood, at !not we hope he would, sifted the Elective Franchise to every householder. —Now let as pat a case. This oar adversary, on this 'resod wily, has probably a domestic, whose faithful services have been liberally rewarded by a generous master, and be has laid by a port of his •ages and veils so as to purchase a portion of stock in one of the funds, and thereby Is become a contri butor to the necessities of, sad a creditor to, the! nation. He is toe grateful for kindness and proloc tion enjoyed to leave his situation for any trifling coasidetation, or he might have hired a house and carried an some bosieess, but he is still in servitude. Now Call any jest or rational cause be offered, why such a person should be denied the suffrage fur el-ct. ing a legislative wadies to watch over his little fortene, or which is much more, his liberty and his life? If the Wntcs spoke only of the difficulty of I mending the franchise so far as the Radical Re. formers wish to carry it ; "o la bonne Aeere," as the French say. Rut, no; they use little more than the long-ascribed women's reason, a we wont be cause we wont;" otherwise they @Mehl be met in the open field of argument, and a desirable end put to the dispute altogether. We suspect the Whigs, on the contrary, have some such abjection to the discussion, as me old inveterate Aristocrat had to reading a certain famous Democrat's writing, that be detested them, and that be would not read them fur fear his mind should be coosinced by the ergo meats of the iusidinas book. The Whip would rather not set one foot forward (that is, Dot argue at all) for fear they should be compelled to go a cer tain length at least. While they accuse their eppo_ vents, therefore, of demanding too much, they keep the chest closely locked, and as mock as say, "Not a penny shall you have tierce, unless your will give a receipt for more than you receive; is short. a re ceipt in full of all demands!!" This may be political policy with Whip and Tories; but It really would be downright dishonesty among Merchaata sad Tradessaa!! --am.- REFORM.

The interesting conversation in the floese of Com. mnns, lest night, between Mr. BROUGHAM and Al. demur Worm, will, it is hoped, bring forward an eaqairy how it happens that there is so little her. mossy, or at least understanding, between the Magistrates of the county and those of London, what can be the reason that am Middlesex Magis trates should ronanit so many prisoners, of the de.
