SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. Lord Blandford's motion tbr Parliamentary reform came recommended by arguments of rather a novel character. It seems that so long as the Catholics were an enslaved people, and Government divided upon the expediency of keeping them in that condition,—yea further, even ‘vhilc the House of Commons were voting annually for that very principle of emancipation which has since been carried into a law by the concurrence of the House of Lords cud of his Majesty, —whilst such things '.:ere transacting before the eyes of the noble Marquis, it never once occurred to him that decayed boroughs were pernicious articles, and ought to be con fiscated for the public good. But now the King has agreed with the borough representatives, and that the nobility of England have voted with them -,—now that the " odious principle." of free dom has been asserted in favour of commerce and of the Catholics,---the noble Marquis face tiously finds out what all the world knew long ago, that the boroughs are rotten, and their Mem bers are corrupt, and we shall one and all go to a place which must be Tameless, if the House be not refbrmed by their disfranchisement. A neat compliment this to the King and Peerage, to be sure ! There is much to be said for the other project hinted at in the discussions of Tuesday evening, in favour of granting the popu lous towns of lingknd the privilege of repre sentation. The actual defect of the House of Commons is the want of some adequate coun terpoise to the squirearchy—to the domination of pheasants and foxes.--Tidies. We have always looked upon the questions as to the transference of the Elective Franchise from places like East Retford or Penryn to the adjoining hundreds, or even to populous towns, as of very secondary importance. The evil of our present Parliamentary Representation is that it is not what it pretends to be, whether we take population or property as our criterion ; and if the property of the country is not adequately protected, it can never be of much consequence whether one or two great towns, more or less, have Represt , ntatives. If the change be not of a nature to change the character of the Repre sentation, nothing is done. 1 here is no ditfi , cult:, iti any place, however remote, whether re pres‘rnted or not represented, in finding a channel through which its wishes may be conveyed to to Parliament. Besides, the principle of the proceeding in the case of East Retford, Penryn, is decidedly bad. We presume no one will be found bold enough to maintain that seats in Parliament, wherever the franchise is not exten sively diffused, are not regularly bought and sold. Indeed, in England, every thing, from • a Church living to a license to poison the people, is marketable, and considered as pro perty. Now, of thew.° classes ofeorrupt boroughs, that to which East Retford belongs is decidedly better than the class in which the price is paid to one or two individuals. Men with mo ney in their pocke!s go into the market fairly, pay the electors their twenty or thirty pounds a-piece, and enter Parliament unfettered and in dependent. To those who think that property should be represented, these openly-corrupt places are much less objectionable than the privately corrupt ; . for the largest purse will carry the day, and neh men are much less likely to lend them selvea to profligate measures than those noble mendicants who look to their influence over ;)(rioughs as a means of existing at the expence of the community. Mr. Ricardo, for instance, purchased his seat; and could vote independently; but the Borough Patrons in general sell a seat on the condition that when the Representative cannot vote in accordance with his views, he shall resign. The only effect of disfranchising the openly corrupt places is to raise the value of those boroughs against which corruption never can be proved. The Marquis of Blandford's propositions on Tuesday night were more fair : ' " That there exists a crass or description - of boroughs, commonly called dose or decayed, in which the returns - of Members to Parliament are notoriously cipable of being effected by the payment 'of money in the way of purchase, and frequently are so effected ; and also another class of boroughs, ire which the elective franchise is vested in so few electors, that the returns are capable of being effected by the payment of money, in the way of bribes, to individual electors, and frequently are so effected. • " That the existence of such boroughs, and the 'continuance of such practices, are disgraceful to the character of this }louse, destructive of the confi deuce of the people, and prejudicial to the best in terests of the country." - This, of course, is a mere &lawn fulmen. Even if the House of Commons were to pass a Bill to destroy all the corrupt bbroughs of both classes, the House of Lords would never sane ition it. A Reform of an extensive nature - will never be willingly agreed to by the depositaries .of influence; for who would consent to the an nihilation of his own consequence ? But the • Aristocracy can have no great objection to the • disfranchisement of a few corrupt places, by which their own consequence would be increas ed. The independence of Parliament, however, such as it is, rests principally on open corrup .tion ; for it is to the proportion of Members in the House of Commons returned by their own guineas, that Ministers are indebted for theirability . .to make head against the cabals of the private Borough-holders. It is not, therefore, for the public to lend its sanction to any pid • tiling plans of disfranchisement, by which, per- Imps, more harm than good might ensue.— ' Morning Ch, onide. The most peremptory and pressing orders hare been lately sent to the different Public Boards in Ireland, calling for statements of the lowest scale in point of numbers to which it is supposed practicable to reduce their respective establishments, consistent with an effective -per formance of the requisite duties. The system of consolidation by which the Irish offices, instead of being distinct and independent Boards, arc made branches of the English, subject to the same regulations, and working upon one uni. form system, which has been already tried in some cases with the best possible results, is to be forthwith extended to all. In addition to this reform, which is in itself of great import ance, as tending to eradicate the . vile system of , corrupt local patronage, it is proposed to dimi nish the amount of salaries, and retiring compen sations, by one-fourth. This reduction is not in tended to apply to the present possessors of offices l i actually discharging the duties of them, but their successors will come in on the reduced salary ; and, we understand, from what we believe to be competent authority, that retiring compensations and super annuations are to be in all cases calcu lated on the reformed scale. The proposed changes have, a s might be expected, produced much dissatisfaction and some murmuring, which are not likely to be much regarded at head quarters.—Thid. The state of Portugal must be deplored by every friend to civilization and humanity. The conduct of Don Miguel, since he has been in • possession of absolute power, makes it a subject of deep regret that one who so ill understands the duties of a Sovereign should ever have it in his power to controul the destinies of any por tion of the human race. But bad as his conduct is, and were it still worse than it is painted by those who exhaust the vocabulary of invective in • holding him up to the reprobation of mankind, that would furnish no argument for the intet ference of Great Britain in the internal concerns of Portugal. We may regret the moral taste or political ° debasement of a people who can bear so patiently as the Portuguese the indignities and sufferings which a despotic Sovereign de lights to inflict upon them ; but if we are to quarrel with a Government, or a people, because the one chooses to be tyrannical and the other submissive, we never need want for a cause of war. Well would it. have been for England, at the present day, if she had never intermeddled in the political affairs of other nations, but allowed them to obey or cashier their Kings just as they pleased. we have not learned wisdom on this subject, it is not for want of the lessons of a bitter experience. Fifteen years of peace leave us still encumbered, or rather almost overwhelmed, with a war debt, which, unfortunately, our " military glory" will not enable us to pay off. In spite of this sorrowful experience, Mr. Canning, during the short period of his power, did as much to embroil us with foreign nations, on account of affitirs in which we had no concerti, as if we had derived only pastime and profit from our former Quixotism. We should, probably, by this time be engaged in the tremendous struggles of an European wet if the Councils. of the nation had continued to be directed by that brilliant speaker, but rash and superficial Statesman. Sir James Mackintosh, and those who think with him, F have his inclinations, but, happily, without his power ; yet they blame the memory of Mr. Pitt. for having :interfered with the internal affliirs of France, although their hitermeddling policy with ' regard to Portugal is exactly on the same prin ciple. We tell them . that England has no more • right to interfere in regulating the Government of Portueal than the Portuguese have to inter fere in regulating our own. Whether they choose- to have Don Miguel or Donna Maria for their -Sovereign is a matter entirely of their concern, not our's. If they will . not have a Constitution, what right have we to force it upon them ? A nation that cannot achieve its own freedom is not in a condition to be free.— When Don Quixote rescued the galley slaves, the first use they made of their liberty was to ► pelt him for his pains.--Morning Herald. LAW INSTITUTION. The Annual Meeting of the Projectors and Mem, hers of this Institution took place yesterday, in Fur , rival's-inn-hall. Mr. W. TOOKE in the Chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the meeting, and congratulated them upon the prosperous state of the undertaking. He said that the 'efficacy and ne cessity of an institution like the present were consi dered so apparent by the Committee, that they had not thought it necessary to make it a top i c of com ment in their Report.—(Hear.)—lt was time their profession, which, he might say, equalled in talent and respectability any other, had some institution similar to - these possessed by other professions. At present there were three institutions in their own profession, but they were divided ; and it was not tit they should exist divided—for so they could be of no general benefit to the profession; they ought to merge in one; and he hoped this institution would be considered worthy of being that one.—(Applause.) The Report stated that the Committee bad the satisfaction of being-able to state that the originally proposed capital of . 50,0001. would complete the undertaking. They bad completed the purchase of a freehold site, in 'Chancery-lane, nearly opposite to the Rolls Court, and extending to Beil-yard, and the - erection of the Hall would commence in March next. Of the proposed fund of 50,000/., the suns of 45,0001. had. been already subscribed in shares of 25/. each, payable by instalments. With this capital - it is intended to euct a Hall; to be furnished with desk, or enclosed tables, and provided with the Gazette, Newspapers, &c., and publications con nected with the profession ; to be open at all hours, but some particular hour to be fixed as the general time for assembling. An anti-room for clerks and others, in which will he kept on account of Parliamentary business, - the general and daily Cause Papers, information of arrangements made in the different Courts, B,:c • A library, to contain a complete collection of law books, and of other books relating to those branche , of literature more particularly connected with the profession; votes, reports, acts, journals, "and other proceedings of Parliament; county. and .local histo ries; topographical, genealogical, and other matters of antiquarian research, &c. An office of registry, in which will be kept ac counts of property intended for sale, or wanted to be purchased; of money to be lent or borrowed, on mortgage or otherwise ; of applications for partners, and for articled, managing, and other clerks ; and of every matter that may be deemed generally useful to the profession. , , A club-room, which may afford members an op portunity of procuring dinners and refreshments, on the plan of the University, Athenxam, Verulam,und similar Clubs. • - • A suite of rooms for private meetings in bank ruptcy of arbitrators and creditors, and for all other meeting and objects in any way connected with the profession. - • Fire-proof rooms in the basement story, which will be fitted up with partitions, shelves, and drawers, for the-deposit of deeds, &c. Lectures on the different branches of the l•iw, for the instruction of the junior members of the profes sion are contemplating. The Committee concluded this statement by congratulating the subscribers and the profession on the near approach of the institution to completion. It could not fail to afford numerous advantages to each individual member, to confer signal and lasting benefit on the profession at large, and in an emi nent degree to promote its honour and respectability. The report was unanimously received, and after several gentlemen bad spoken in commendation of the same, and expressed their opinions with respect to the benefit to be expected frOm the esta blishment of the institution (not one of the least advantages which it would have mould be the power of " crushing those pests and disgraces of the pro fession who, in cant phrase, were termed petty fogging laWyers")—(Applause)—thanks were voted to the Chairman and Committee, and the meeting adjourned. It was intimated that in a short time a further call for depoits on shares would he made. ANTIQUITY.—Last Friday was discovered, in a sand pit, in a plantation, at Acomb, near this city, beneath a large stone, au urn containing human bones.— The urn, which was of a tolerable size, but unfortunately was broken to pieces in taking up, is composed of a blackish peaty clay. On one side is engraved a square, in which are several rude Saxon characters, irregularly arranged.— The stone under which it was found has the appearance of having been part of a pillar; but there is nothing in these relics of a distant generation to lead to any accurate con jecture as to their date or origin..

(From the Gazette de France, June 2.) PARIS, JUNE I.—M. de Berbis declared yester day, in his Report, that the produce of the indirect Taxes for the first four months of the present year is inferior by above ten millions to that of the cor responding months of the year Is2B. " There is no longer any equilibrium between the expenditure and the receipts, as the Committee of the Budget announced yesterday, by one of its reporters; and unless extraordinary circumstances occur, this sate of things may lead to great embarrassments in our finances." We can confidently predict, that if the present Ministry continue , , to proceed in a manner not harmonizing with Royalist opinions, the uncertainty of its policy leaving our affairs in their present state of stagnation, this situation of our finances will become alarmingly worse. In France people are so much disposed to attack persons in power, only Ibecause the necessity of it is more felt than else- where. Ibis Ilighness Prince Holtenlobe, Marshal and Peer of France, died yesterday morning. TOULON, MAY 25.—M. de Rouen, Charge d'Affaires of France to the Greek Government, has- arrived in our port, on his way to Greece ; he will proceed direct to Egina. It is affirmed that M. de Rigny will soon return to Toulon, and embark on board Le Conquerant, to go and resume the command of the French naval force in the Levant. A report is in circulation of a projected marriage between the Duke de Chartres and the Princess of Brazil; called Queen of Portugal. It were much to be desired that tlis marriage-should really take place, for then the little Princess would be excluded, by the very positive laws of Portugal, from all claiM to the Throne of that country.

FnzeNn and RODEN, Field late-street, Whitechapel. Engines from all .the London Fire Companies were very speedily on the spot, and 8"e -ceeded, by .great exertions, in saving the building from total destruction. The fite orieinated in the s ugar-stove used in drying the sugar, and for three hours burnt with great impetuosity; it was, however, happily ccntined to the manufactory, and did not extend to the adjoining dwelling-house . The interior of the building , as well as the stock, has sustained considerable itijnry. As soon as the flames were got under, many of the engines were driven off to 'Poplar, where another tire had just brAen out. We understand Messrs. FRIEND and RODEN are amply insured in - the Sun, Imperial, Phoenix, and Globe. Insurance Companies. FIRE. AT POPLAR.—Last night, about tea o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mrs. ANN HUN TER, High-street, Poplar, who carried on the business of a haberdasher and• linen-draper. The tire broke out in the shop, and by the prompt attendance of the fire engines, which were then at the fire in Messrs. FatEND and_ Ha pt.:Ws sugar-manufactory, Whiteehapel, it was confined to that part of the house; but the stock was nearly all de stroyed, or so seriously injured as to be rendered of little value. The owner of the premises severely • burnt his hand in endeavouring to extinguish the fl Imes. The de struction of lace, silk handkerchiefs, and other fancy goods, which were chiefly in the windows, was considerable ; but we understand Mrs. HUNTEtt is insured in the Royal Ex change Company. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An Inquest was held yesterday at the Craven Head, Drury-lane, on view 'of the body of ABRAHAM LAZ ARCS, a Jew, residing at 97, Drury-lane. The complainant went home on Mon day night much intoxicated, and not being seen the follow ing day, his room was broken open by Mr. MOSES SOLO MON, a salesman residing in Vinegar-yard ; and the de ceased was found hang in g from the bedstead. He had been in good circumstance., and was much distressed. The Juty returned a verdict of Suicide, while in a state of mental derangement." A piquant story is in circulation relative to the advancement of the Lord Chief Justice BEST to the Peerage ; it is . said that some little time back he was. waited urn by the Loan CHANCELLOR, who informed him that it was a settled arrangement that he should be forthwith promoted to a seat in the Upper House. The CHIEF Jusrica heard the news with apparent indifference, lit the same time de mandin g a short time for consideration.- At proposition of Lord LYN DHURST. The n ex t day his MA aEsTv's commands were conveyed to the CHIEF JUSTICN the appointed hour he gave a decid e d nega ti ve to the (it is asserted by an autograph letter), indicating a wish to see hint at the earliest possible moan nt. His reception was cordial, and the Royal regret was expressed at the re fusal of the intended honours. The reply of the CHIEF JUSTICE went to say, that the unceremonious manner in which dignity was, as it were, forced upon him, was the principal motive for the negative. The KING seemed sur prised, and said, " the LORD CHANCELLOR has exceeded my instructions, which were, to submit the proposed ar racgement for your consideration and approval." It is needless to observe that this condescension was followed by immediate acquiescence. • THE BISHOP OF OXFORD. Died, at four o'clock . on Sunday afternoon, at his residence in Whitehall-place, Dr. Charles Lloyd, Bishop of Oxford. His death, though unexpected by the public, who lately witnessed his effective exertions in the great cause of reli gimis peace, and who had not heard of his sub sequent indisposition, had been for some days previously the subject of apprehension to his family and friends. Its immediate cause was an inflammation of the lungs., the consequence of a cold which lie caught about four weeks ago. Those who heard the display of talent and elo quence which he made a short time before from the Episcopal bench - in the House of Lords, and who observed at that time the apparently vigorous frame of the speaker, could not so soot anticipate the loss of that ornament of our churcii Dr. Lloyd was the son of an eminent school master of Peterley-house, in Buckinghamshire, who sent him to Eton. horn Eton he went to Christ-church, Oxford, where he was rewarded by the celebrated Cyril Jackson with " the Dean's Studentship," which will be acknowledged by all who know what Christ-church then was, to be no mean testimony of • merit and proficiency. It may be reckoned a fortunate circumstance of his life, that while he enjoyed a high reputation for his acquisitions and learning, he was ap pointed tutor to Mr. Secretary Peel. On au examination for " honours" at the University, Dr. Lloyd obtained the first place ; and on a new modelling of the mathematical lectureship at Christ-church, he was appointed the lecturerat a very early. age. He afterwards became in due course Tutor and Censor of his College. His reputation .as a clergyman extending ~with his academical honours, he. was selected in 1619 to succeed the present Bishop of Durham as preacher at Lineoln's4nn. Shortly afterwards he was made Chaplain to the Archbishop of Canter bury, on the promotion of the present Bishop of Down and Connor. In 1822 lie.was appointed Re gius Professor of Divinity in the University, and in 1827 was promoted to the See of Oxford. Dur ing his professorship he •not only displayed with singular clearness and - precision those rich trea sures of biblical and theological learning which it had been the great study of his life to acquire, in the regular dischar g e of »fficial lecturing; but he also became, if not the founder of a new school, at least the infuser of - a new and more energetic spirit, introducing the practice of private teaching in di-; vinity, working incessantly, like one impressed with a sense of high responsibility, and inculcating in struction, —may we not say "in season and out of season ?" The pupils of Bishop Lloyd were attached to him, above all things, by the genuine goodness of an honest, open, sincere heart, wholly devoid of selfish feeling, and alive to every gene rous and amiable impression. Nene applied to him for information who did not readily obtain it,—none conversed with him whO was not im proved in 'learning - , in temper, in ,religious feel mg,—none lived with him who did not love him, Such is a brief statement of his academical and ecclesiastical career. In private life, the charac ter of Dr. Lloyd was as amiable and estimable as the discharge of his public duties was meri torious, and his display of talents and learning distinguished. He was married in 1822 to a daughter of Colonel Stapleton,' of Thorpe, in the county of Surrey, and has left a son and four daughters. The Marquis and the Marchioness of OR rsoNnE are expected immediately et Kilkenny, where it is understund that they intend to pass the summer.— Witter ford Minor. LIVERPOOL, JUNE I.—The Cotton Market has not been so brisk to.dsy as during every day last week, but there is no additional quantity offering in the mat ket, and the sales amount to 1,200 bags at very steady prices. FIRE AT THE LONDON INSTITUTION. — This splendid building and its valuable litrary were saved from total destruction by the promptitude and zeal of an individual, assisted by two Roman Catholic labourers, and two females. As Mr. EFFusuttaat WILSON was passing the Institution about one o'clock on Sunday, he smelt, something very offensive; on looking about for the cause of it, he observed a quantity of smoke: issuing from the west end of the building. He, by the assistance of the housekeeper, made his way to that part of the premises, and found, adjoining the gas manufactory, the coal-shed and coals enveloped in smoke and flames. He immediately pro:wiled for assistattc;., and, - with the help of two men and two females belonging to the premises, succeeded, in little Jess than an hour, in quenching the flames. By this time further assistance was obtained ; -they proceeded to remove the refuse of the gas and the hot coals from their contiguity to the inflammable materials which surrounded them, and by this means, in all p ro bability, prevented the whole neighbourhood from becoming a prey to the de vouring element ; indeed, had the gasometer been fired, total destruction to the Institution at least would have been inevitable.

The farmer, however, being very susceptible of the tender pas sion, fell so deeply in love with the maid, that he wrote to inform the lady he was very well contented with the bargain. she had forwarded to him, and need not trouble herself further on the matrimonial subject,—.Exeter IMPRISONMENT FOR SMALL DEBTS.

The Coa ti ' s ,' man aryl sioners of the City Court of Requests have l' ef f decidedly set their faces against the tally sys,te °l , They closely examine into . the circumsta nce : under which the debts are contracted, an d 3' t accordingly.

This was a case of the sale of an advowson with a view to the next presentation, the particulars of which we stated on a former occasion. The ques- _ . tion was, whether the sale of the advowson, with a view to-the next presentation, while the incumbent was. in a dying state, and did exactly die on the same day after the execution of the conveyance, was simoniacal ? • The Court of King's Bench decided that it was, and the case was brought, by writ of error, to the Lords, and was argued in the presence of most of the Judges of the Courts below. The Judges attended this day, and Chief _Justice BEST delivered the unanimous opinion of the Judges, that the sale was not simoniacal. . In this opinion the House concurred, and the Judgment of the Court below was reversed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE . 3. KEEN V. MAIDEN. This was an notion on the warranty of a pony sold by the defendant to the plaintiff at Riekmans worth Fair. There were two questions for the con sideratiol of the Jury—first, whether a warranty ever had been made, no person having been present at the sale of the pony ; and secondly, whether it was or was not sound at the time of the sale. in support of the warranty, witnesses were called to prove subsequent conversations between the plain tiff and defendant, in which the latter had tacitly admitted the warranty, by declaring the plaintiff bad not returned - the pony in time, adding, that he regularly employed an attorney, to whom he paid 50/. a year to do all his business; that he had not bad nay thing to do for the last three or four years, and that he would now have a job for his money. Mr. J. WILLIAMS, for the defendant, contended that the story of the attorney was quite inconsistent. lle had heard of gentlemen that were fond of keep ing horses, of others that were fond of keeping hounds, and of others that were proud of keeping — he would not say what—(Loud laughter)—but he never yet heard of a man boasting that he kept an attorney.—(Continual laughter.)—They were a spe cies of animals that were generally avoided. The Jury found for the defendant. lEADFUL ACCIDENT—LOSS of LIVES. Yesterday afternoon, between live and six o'clock, a most dreadful accident occurred at the house No. 106, Pall-mall, lately occupied as a Club-house, by - the falling in of the third floor of the house, which unfortunately killed two men employed on the pre mises. The house is a few doors westward of the site of Carlton Palace, and has lately been sold in lots with others, for building materials, by order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to make way for the new improvements in Pall-mall. Three men were employed on the third floor, in pulling down the house, and the roof had been got off with safety. The men wtre then pulling down some heavy cornices, and part of the back and font wall, with which they had overloaded the floor on which they were at work, when on a sudden it gave way with a most tremendous crash, - which alarmed the whole neighbourhood, carrying with it the . second and first' floors, and in an instant the whole interior of the house was in a mass of ruins, and the three men at . Work on the third floor were buried in the rubbish. The alarm was general in the neighbourhood, and a man who was. fortunately at work off the flooring, stood on the sill of a win dow and was saved ; a lad also escaped, who was at the time on a parapet, assisting - in 'pulling down the house. The utmost . exertions were instantly used to dig the three men out of the ruins who had fallen with the floor, aml in a few minutes a man named EdWard Foster was dug out alive, - severely injured, but_ we understood ,not dangerously : he was immediately conveyed on a shutter to St. George's Hospital. The workmen continued their exertions, and between six and seven o'clock •the bodies of two other men were dug out, mutilated in a most dreadful manner, and carried to the Gout Tavern, in Pall mall, nearly opposite to where the accident occurred. A surgeon was sent. for imtne diately, who pronounced them to be quite dead. The tunnes:of the unfortunate•sufferers - are, Wtn. Andrews, aged about 20, and John Griggs, an elderly man. The escape of the man and boy above men tioned was most miraculous, as the shock of the Lill , ing floors was sufficient to have precipitated them I.om their standing place; fortunately, however, they were soon rescued from their perilous situation with out having sustained any injury. The front and ' back Walls of the house are still standing. • An inquest will be held on the bodies of the suf ferers to-morrow (this day)., SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.
