The CHAIRMAN then put the question, that the address be presented by both nietnhers. (This was followed by hisses, and cries of " Ns) Davis.") He thought it ought to be pot into the hands of both members. Mr. WtNyora Haunts was of opinion, it should be presented in the most respectful manner, and therefore he both the tnombers.—(Hisses.) Ile should rejoice if he could add the name of the Duke of Beaufort, as he was on the green-hagcommittee ; and he should also like to ask ionl lirenville—(hisses); but when he re collected the dignified silence his Lordship kept, and ' that he at last threw his vote in the opposite wale, he shonld spurn at such request. He should be glad if the Recorder wou'l accompany Mr. Davis and Mr. Bright, sill he not also recollect that he was the Attorney-Gene ral: and he (Mr. Ilarris) would not wish so far to dis grace the Ilan. Members. Neither could he consent to solicit Lord Sheffield, for his Lordship 'lid not hear the defence, and yet %aid ronfral to the Bill ; and he there fore supported the proposition that the address be pre sented by both the members ottly.—(('ries of " No D or i s .") ft would give Mr. all is an opportunity of fulfilling their wishes; and, if he refused, the time wonld come obeli lie would have to account for it. Mr. SynchtNi: hoped the meeting would, in pity to )tit. D o ris, give him an opportunity to redeem his cha racter by presenting the address. Mr. CusaiLs CCAIMINS, after tracing the progress of the late proceedings against the Queen from the begin ning to the end, which he accomplished in a manner that excited the Visit/Oily of the meeting, moved the resolution respecting the insertion of the report of the proceedings in the public papers. Thanks to the NlNvoe, for the use of the hail, and to the Chakman, for his able conduct in the chair, were t►en passed. In conclusion, on the motion of Mr. Walker, three cheers Were given for the Queen. and three groans for her enemies. The meeting then dispersed. 41110 E - 04 STOCKS THIS Sank Stock 9191 3 per Cent.

We have this morning received Paris papers of the 28th and 29th alt.: they are principally filled with the details of the trials, before the Court of As size, of the Students in Medicine, who were impli cated in the tumultuous proceedings which occurred at Paris in the month of June. The accused were charged with having uttered the sedition• c►ies of rise /o Charte! Vice P Empires,- !

It is reported, that two new Ministers are about to be created ; the one entitled the Minister of Public structioo ; the other, Minister of Indirect Contri butions.

When it was announced the other day that the Whigs would not consent to accept of office, without stipulating, among other points, for " an inquiry into the abuses that have crept into our Financial Admi nistration, one Commercial System, our Representation, sod our Judicial Practice," we took occasion to lament that the point, which of all others, we deemed the most Important,ami entitled to the first attention, did net obtain that rank and prominence in the list of terms propelled, which we thought it would of necessity occupy in the minds of Statesmen dis posed to promote and to secure the amelioration of our political condition. An inquiry into the abuses that have crept into our Representation, had, indeed, been mentioned as necessary ; but from the place and space the matter occupied, and the variety of articles with shish it had been mingled, as well as the manner in which it was expressed. it appeared as if the point was deemed of subordinate interest, and not likely to be treated to as to to any grsat or extensive good. In limiting attention to those abuses which have crept into our Represen tation, it seems as if it were assumed that the basis on which our Representation has been reared, is ' insusceptible of infanthood. ' appears in view, is the es brandies of the System : and holly or Government boroughs as have bliss Into decay; I elective touch's* in ciao cor tooms, the mississioo of the people of other dietriets„ "'' l on which our Represents o r,. unexceptionable and iu The only object that ap ,1 it rat' eision of some rotten rise the prevention of venality mei ialloooro in such boroughs Th' , --the extension of the els Wal .1 . rations or tiepopulaird o os i other inbabitants, or of el THE STATESMAN. to the privilege of voting at elections for representatives in Parliament; and perhaps the grant to certain large, and now unrepresented towns, of the privilege of returning members to the House of Commons, in lieu of such as may be accounted unwor thy to enjoy that advantage in consequence of notorious and established corruption. It is impossible, indeed, to infer from the style in which the object is referred, what its nature and extent may be ; and it 19 more likely that we have exceeded than underrated the views which our moderate Reformers contemplate, when they allude to their inquiries into the abuses of our Representation. • Thai none, or that even all of these expedients are adequate to cure the evils that prevail in our Repre sentative system, or tend to ameliorate the condition of the country, or .afford satisfaction to the minds of those who are anxious for Political Reform, we have no hesitation in declaring ourcomplete conviction The assumption of the ancient basis is a compli ment to prejudice, unworthy the improvements and relations of the age, and inconsistent with the changes which have taken place in every department a l the social and political body. Taking it for granted that the original Constitution of the Repeaaestatire system were as perfect as the period at which it was formed would admit, and its efficacy as beneficial as the exigency of existing circumstances required, it cannot fail to strike the most su perficial observer, how inadequate the remedies it has pro►ided for the abuse• that have followed in its train. " Whoever understands the theory of the English Constitution, and comp:res it with the fact, mast at once see how widely they differ. We must reconcile them 'to each other, If we wish to save the liberties of this country : we must reduce our political piactice to our principles. The Constitution intended that there ainstill be a permanent relation between the Constituent and the Representative Body of the people. Will any man affirm that, as the Hoare of Commons is itoir formed, that relation is in any degree preserved." Let it not be supposed we use unwarrantable Is.- guage, in asking such a question. 'lt is the longues of Lord Cts•Tnsal, the father of Wtt.t.tAat PITT ! Negociatioos are saiiiio be on foot between severs Germ, Sovereigns, to Like measure. in comma, afto the example of the great Powers, and to form a close alliance for the protection of their mutual la terests. Letters from Milan say, that the Papal Goversesest has acceded to the requisition of Austria to allow the Army to pass through the Roman States, on a condi tion, that a convention' shall be concluded for the maintenance of those troops during the time they may remain In the Roman territory. The conclusion of this convention is at present negotiating at Rome. A Maritime Confederacy of the States lying in the Bakis, of widab RAMOikaroehl bathe heal..la said fee l be in contemplation. It is intended to regulate the commerce and navigation of that sea in such a manner, that the States on its coasts may henceforward derive more advaatages from their geographical sitnation. It is reported that the course which the 'Moister, have resolved to pursue with respect to the Queen on the meeting of Parliament, is this :—They will lay the proceedings against the Queen in the House of Lords before the House of Commons ; and when the question for the pecuniary grant to her Majesty comes to be discussed in the Committee of Supply, they will enter at large into a review of the case, and preface the grant by a vote of censure upon her Majesty's conduct. It was said in The Courier, that a domain had been purchased for the Queen, near Paris. This is totally unfounded. We are assured that her Majesty means to take up her residence fur life in England. In spite of the utmost exertions on the part of the ar chitect and workmen, the requisite accommodations in the Palace at Brighton, cannot, it appears, be com pleted until within a few days of Christmas. About that period, it is expected, his Majesty will make that place, for some time, his residenc e. The Exchange between I)ubliu and London is now 63. Sovereigns have ceased to bear a premium in that country. Provisions are now as cheap in Ireland as they Isere half a century ago, but there is no mosey to go to market with. An Irish Peer stated that his tenants would be *tweed, for they must eat their own potatoes. At a meeting of the members of a public institution of the Metropolis, held the other day, it was resolved, that it was coarrary to the intentions, and injurious to the interests of the society, that any matters submitted td the society, and intended to be published in its solemn, should be previously published is any other journal. When it is known that often 12 or IS months elapse between the time the managers of - this society begin to collect their materials, and the period of their publication, it might seem as if they were very tard_y or illiberal is the diffusion of their i.formatioa. That opinion must, however, be entirely groundless; for in. I contietent as the tendency of their resolution may ap. pear. this Institutioi has obtained the title of 4 ' the lush "sr the Raesuragemeat of the Arts!!!" Os Mr. Myrtle, our worthy High Constable, refus ing to convene a meeting for the purpose of preparing an Address of Congratulation to her Majesty, the friends of that measure adopted a different mode of attaining their end. They framed an Address, which they published. at the same time inviting the inhabit ants to sign it..

His Royal Highness the Duke of York passed through Norwich, on Wedsesday afterooon, in his way to the seat of Lord Suffield. A party of the populace bad been prepared to draw blit into the city ; but the greeting his Royal Highness rrecived was very various ; some " King," and others " Queen," with di exclamations of gratuktion and disgust. On Monday, the Duke of Wellington also passed through the same city, in his way to visit the same noble Lord. Tito festivities in commemoration of St. Andrew's Day, were kept up with great spirit and good humour at the Angel, High-street, Bloomsbury, on Friday, where a numerous company assembled to partake of the usual good cheer ; consisting of Haggis and other dishes of the peculiar cookery of St. Aisdrete's Disciple..

BOXING, sgrwzry SCROOGINII •ND D*att DOLT, TON • ►cats OF TWZYTT GUINEA!. The above match was ktsoeked NT in less than five minutes' consideration, under the following circum stances :—A piNk of the first colour, in the neighbour hood of Russell-square, attached to the sporting ireles, gave a dinner yesterday to several of the amateurs, ad mirers of scientific pugilism. Among the party who looked in, by invitation, to take a glass of wine, and to talk over new subjects for the ring, were Spring. Pur cell, Randall, Turner, Martin, the Birmingham Vooth, Huh, and Scroggins. A match was proposed for the two latter heroes; a•ul accepted to meet in six minutes. The usual preprrations were made for the contest ; Turner and Martin seconded Scroggins, and Purcell and Sampson were for Holt. Spring was the !imp keeper. Five to four on Scroggins on one side of the room; and live to.fuur on Holt among the other party. sourtriS. I. The attitude of Holt was elegant, and he apre:truil also difficult to be got at. Scroggins was not lone in commencing his favourite rwsh, and he bored in 11:1"11 his opponent, till he absolutely run down Holt in the corner, and fell upon him. 2. This round was all fighting, and the tristyrlsfo . rs new about till both went dOwn, but Holt rintlernro,t. 3. The tine science of Holt here toll, and he planted two nohbers with his left hand, without anv return. Scrogtins, however, went in upon the obi' tack, whet, after some exchanges, Holt got him down. 4. After some exchanges of blows upon their ooh•, the combatants dosed, and Holt neared his opponent in the Randall style. Scroggies got the throw, and Hoit was undermost. 5. The left hand of Holt told severely, and &Tog. gins went away with the force of the hit',—Both down. 6. Seroggins rushed in upon Holt, and in mal(ing a Mit he missed his opponent and fell. He immediately got up, and said, " tieutlemen, I beg your pardon, could not help it." 7 and S. 'Nothing she but hitting—giving and taking, without flinching, till both went flown. " 1;ro- Iv," from the pinks, "it is an excellent light. Both are good men; and Jack's as good as his master." &Toggles seemed rather touched in the wind, and he pee a load hem. 11. Holt is this round was every thing. He ga. 2 l. Seroggy three facers without any return, and also Int him dowt. "Scrogey, he'l spoil your beautiful mug, if you don't take rare." 141, 11. Two slashing round.. In the last Scrogyy went down from a slip. Ten minutes had elapsed. Bt. Holt, after making a slight blow, slipped down. to 4 on Holt. 13, 14,15. The blows of Holt were not effective, so as to take the fight out of Scroggins. It was hard miff int in all these round.. Scroggins said to his seconds, " deal water me SO much ; all right ; I can't 10-IC it." Itloit's right eye was rather damaged. and the dares bad made its appearance on his wog. This was a tremendous round, and Scroggins threw Holt, but he behaved handsomely to his fallen opponent, instea I of falling on him u he might have done, he walked away (" bravo! Yon are a good little fellow.") 17. Serorgiaa's nob was a little damaged, and he again received two facers. Seroggins she went down. I. After an exchange of blows, Scroggins isrgb logly observed to Holt, " if you don't hit harder, my boy, you cam never win it.' Both down.—Twenty minutes. Ra t= lighting. bat Scroggins went down. Here La AL.- m brandy ale bndy to Holt. and gave him advice. " If they are forty it wiilMaTteno odds," obsetve.l Seroggins. 20. In this round, Scrostitins received a severs bit on his throat; two Neer. were also added to it, but be wontd not Indented, sad scrambled his way in till they both went down. 21. &reagens now began to wink, and be wee as mach distressed as ail old, worn-out, broken wiodeatpust prod; be however got Ilolt down. 22, 23. " Oct along, Harry, its all your own: he'll not enmeabove two more roundi." The left hand I f H 'lt flid some execution, and Scroggins had now the worst of it. N. This was a tremendous round. Scroggins went to work like a blaeksmith hammering at a tore , and boreal Holt Jots a corner. Hit fur hit was exchanged till they both went down, but Holt was undern.ost, and the back part of his head came in contact agaistat the window seat. "It's all up!" and Martin offerel to 10. 23. Holt was quite an altered note, and he seemed stepilled frees the effects of the fall. The whole of rile falls throeghout the tight were heavy indeed. When time was galled, Holt came to the scratch with great difficulty. &veggies down and undermost. IS. The science of Ho't was much admired, sod al. those; terribly distressed, he pat in two facers.

This round was ',weedy contested ; but the beery fill Halt revolved, shook him all to pieces. 10 to lou &noggins. 30. Hole was game to the last, and he exerted himself and got gins down. 31.

It was evillest that Holt could not win, and he was seat down is an instant. 10 to I. 33 and last. Holt was sent down, and his second could scarcely get him ou his knee. When time was palled, the Biroungkaa Youth said he could not fight any en Ire. &Toxins immediately came up to Holt and said—" Harry, re us your hand; you area good fellow, and here a • guises for you !"—1 neat applies, from all the Swells. and—" Jack, you shall here nothing by your gesermity and fooliag." Ramanaa.—For two men out of condition, nay, both dwell. particularly Scroggina, it was a much better fight this has frequently been seen, when boxers have been tralaing for slit weeks. Scroggings has still some tresteratiewe points about him; sod doom pugilists who are ander his weight, most sot meddle with him. It was a meet gallant battle on both sides; bin the blows of Holt weenie baud enough to stop the read ofAcrog gias.

In a Hug, sense of the as uman thick Holt might have a Motor Assoc The smiles of victory. which have not been fisher to Seittoggios is kis last six battles, now seemed to give him now life.
