SPIRIT OF THE PL nuc JOURNALS. The creation of .fictitious votes has been carried to a great extent in Scotland, and we observe in the Scots man of Wednesday last, received yesterday, loud com plaints on the subject : " Upon looking (says our Contemporary) at the system of making paper votes, as proved by the experience of se veral years, in various counties of Scotland, it is evident to demonstration that the Reform Act may be defrauded to the most dangerous extent. One leading purpose specified, in the preamble of that Act was the more general exten sion of the franchise to persons of property and intelli gence.' As the best general test of this qualification, a certain amount of either property or tenancy was fixed on ; and of course it was absolutely inherent in the proposed re form that such property or tenancy should not be sham property, or sham tenancy, but bona fide and substantial rights. Upon that essential condition, the Reform Act was so conceived as to produce for these Kingdoms the inestimable blessing of a national represen tation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament. " The parchment votes were one of the crying grievances of the old system, and their total extinction was a chief object of the Reform Act ; yet it is now quite certain that, as the Reform Act is worked in the Sheriff courts, a set of paper votes may be fabricated, taking the same place with the abolished parchpent votes, to the effect of swamping the votes of the genuine constituency, and restricting the re presentation of the House of Commons to be the represen tation of a small party or faction only, and not of the people. In short, paper votes have been allowed to eat into, and to honeycomb so deeply, the registration-roll of many of the Scottish counties—this Tory virus has been allowed to spread so widely through the elective system—that unless it can be speedily and totally destroyed, the Reform Act is placed in the most imminent hazard of being practically re pealed so far as regards many, or perhaps all, of the Scottish counties. In such an event, the most prominent change, actually effected in our county representation would be that, whereas the spurious vote regtored forme; ly a piece of pa , ch- ' went to its constitution, it may now be made on plain paper." The above representation is not quite correct. The parchment votes, uncli=r the old system, had reference not to properly, but to feudal superiority, which might or might not be connected with properly, and might in all cases be detached from it. Thus, for instance, the feudal superior, that is, the tenant in ch:ef under the crown, might possess the qualifications to lete of a whole county, without any other property in it them a nominal feu-duty or quit rent, while the actual owners of the land, and all other inhabitants, might be without a vote. This, however, cannot now be the case, as the qualification is always founded on property ; though if one Irian possesses the property equivalent to twenty votes he may lend nineteen of the qorl;fications to persons who are only nominally owners of the property. But we confess we are at a loss to see how, with a property qualification, this evil rr t 7 he remedied. If property he the qualification, and if one individual, like the Mike of Bucckugh, I , e the chief owner of the property of three or four Scotch counties, he cannot, under a system of voti!,g, be prevented from returning- the Mem !: r: for ouch counties. The Iteforin Bill, however, cetotitme the oaner3 of the sol the only voters in g.otch comities. Teeaws have also votes; and thete 4 h in general they iney :o acid voting ,Nith Cieir larollords, this is not necessarily the (else. The Ballot would at all events rescaot the tenants from the Ilexes v of voting, against their consciences at the dictation of landlords. Upon the v.-hole, were the Ballot to he rrititted, fictitioui qualifications wou!d not be so great n t oil as our Contemporary assumes their to he. The great evil of the stete of things which exited priur to the Reform Bill war..:, tl:at is enahled particu itidividuals possessed of laree propertie , , to de iye property in the reßss of its just influence. The 1:t form Bill gave to property in general its just infiu once, but it could not prevent one individual possess ing as much property in land as ten otl:er iruin having as much influence as these ten indivi duals. We are not, however, so apprehensive oil this paint as settle of cur Coooooporaries. There may he a fashion in voting, and a rich landowner of 20,0001. a-s.ear, for instance, may draw after him a number of smaller landowners ; but, upon the whole, we doubt whether persons owning more than a moiety of pro perty in the aggregate can, even in this country, be in duced to support a bad C.16: - C1 nment. Of this we are cart iii, that the owners of far more than a moiety of the aggregate of the property of the country support the present Government, and that the amount of pro p, rty of the Tories, ho sever rich individuals of the party may be, bears but a small proportion to that of the rest of the country. But the Ballot is the only remedy for the undue ascendancy of individuals. All atte:npts to limit undue influence without the Ballot will lie found inefficacious.—Morning Chronicle. Our Contemporaries appear for the moment so much or clipied in skirmishin - amongst themselves—the Tories in inventing falsehoods, and the Liberals in re futing and exposing them—that they have not thne to direct public attention to that paramount subject of national concern—the prospects of the approaching Session. It is to this that all parties, especially the Reformers, should now direct their most earliest solici tude. The Tories may find their account in distract ing and misleading public interest from the point whereon the result of the contest must be decided, but all friends to progressive improvement in our institu tions should watch coming events with unceasing vigi lance, endeavour to guard against adverse contingen cies, and devise and prepare means of overcoming the obstacles which threaten to impede the accomplish limit of those leoislative ameliorations on which de pend the destinies of the British empire. The Irish petition conspiracy—the systematic slanders daily propagated against the Irish people and their repre sentatives—and the general tactics of the Tories, too clearly evince their determination to resist in the next Parliament as obstinately and contumaceously as in the two last every proposition for the satis factory adjustment of Irish claims. Still in a minority in the House of Commons, it must be borne in mind that the faction has a majority in the Lords, which, in defiance of Queen, Ministers, and Commons, can give insuperable obstruction to every measure not harmo nising with the suggestions of bigotry and despotism. Bow is this obstruction to be overcome ? This is the question to the solution of which the most earnest and serious consideration of every practical Reformer should now be addressed. With the evidences around us on all sides of the extent to which the Tories are preparing to push their opposition, it would be folly to suppose that any effectual Reform would be carried without a vi gorous and decisive demonstration from without. The Lords may stand in immovable opposition to the other branches of the legislature ; but when the might of the people is called into peaceful, combined, and legitimate action, they must, as on former occasions, yield to the necessity which it would be madness to resist. It being morally certain that no satisfactory reform can be carried without a great and general effort on the part of the people, it would be well to consider the ob ject to which this effort should more immediately be directed, whether to a reform of the Lords, or a further reform of the Commons ; for it would be little better than a waste of strength to sail forth the po pular power to carry any but a structural re form in either House. It would be comparatively little advantage to carry any one of the contested measures without doing anything to facilitate the accomplish ment of the others—or clearing the way for the safe and easy progress of future ameliorations. For our own part we shoeld prefer seeing the popular energy directed at once to the removal of the immediate obstruction, rather than seek to overcome it by indirect means, that is, to a reform of the House of Lords rather than to further reforms of the House of Com mons, which would evidently place the two branches of the Legislature in greater opposition than they are at present. " But how is this to be accomplished ?" exclaim some of our contemporary Reformers. " Let ni to get the ballot, and an extension of the suffrage. The Lords will never consent to an org an i c c h ange in the constitution of their own House." We ask, in return, how shall we get the ballot, or an extension of the suffrage ? The Lords will not consent to these measures any more than to their own reform. Each proposition must be effected by the same means— t h e unequivocal arid determined expression of a nation's will. The prospect of the approaching session in. valves not alone the interests of Reform and the sta bility of Ministers, but even the stability of the mo narchy. The traitors who would exclude her Majesty from her right of succession would not be. more scru pulous in conspiring against her crown. The cry of " no allegiance" is already raised against her represen tative in Ireland for ruling impartially—if the incen diaries were not deterred by the fear of rousing the I whole British public in vindication of their Sovereign's authority, the same rebellious cry would be raised against her Majesty herself. Under such circum stancesra it is time to reflect seriously on the prospects of the coming session, and provide for its contingen cies.—Morning Advertiser. If in London organised bands of sledge-hammer " Reformers" were allowed to assemble, and in the open day, and in the face, as it were, of the constituted authorities, to destroy the property of any man—some eminent Conservative brewer, for instance, who had voted for Mr. Horsley Palmer at the late election, in opposition to the candidates of the " liberal" quadruple alliance ;—if the sledge-hammer " Reformers" were allowed to do this, day after day, in the most populous parts of the metropolis and its environs, and then to depart, laughing justice to scorn as a thing too powerless to excite any other feeling than that of contempt, what would he thought of the reverence for the law in this country, and the protection which it afforded to society, or at least that great portion of it which is called "Con servative ?" What is, happily, but an imaginary case in London, is, unfortunately, a thing of actual and daily occurrence in the Irish metropolis. The daily systema tic and audacious destruction, in the noon-day, and in the most public places, of the property of Mr. Guinness, the brewer, who voted for the Conservative candidates, West and Hamilton, at the last election, is one of the " most striking" proofs of " tranquillity" which Ireland enjoys under Lord Mulsrave s Government. It affords, also, in the impunity which attends the per petrators of such offences, a practical illustration of tire even-handed vigour with which the law is enforced, and the respect which is accordingly paid to it by all " tranquillisers" who "carry out" the skull-and-cross bones system of " pacification," and by all sledge hammer " reformers." If in London the persons as well as property of persons who voted for Mr. Palmer against Mr. Grote were attacked and outraged by liberty-boys," zealous upholders of the " freedom of election," and Justice limped after such offences as slowly as a tortoise waddling after a hare, what would be thought of the manner in which the Home Depart ment, with its stipendiary magistrates and police, vin dicated the insulted majesty of the law ? We suspect that such a state of things would be looked upon as the most positive proof of the imbecility or the corrup tion with which the duties of public justice were dis charged, giving,, on the one side, encouragement to crime ; on the other, destroying all confidence in the law ; and producing, between both, a licentiousness and suffering not far removed from anarchy. Such is the state of things in Dublin under the govern ment of Lord Mulgrave. Beneath the very shadows of the battlements of Dublin Castle, wherein the Queen's representative resides, are to be found those instances of Ireland's tranquillity ! What, then, may he the stag of the provinces remote from the seat of Government, and where the persecution of Protestants seems to be considered the primary duty of an igno rant and superstitious population, hallooed on by an intuLrant priesthood ? The answer is written in the blood of those whose forefathers preserved Ireland to the British Crown, and defeated the faction that would have !rinded it over to the foreigner. When Mr. Shaw, the Recorder of Dublin, brc.u , ;ht under the no tice of Lord Mulgrave the other day the great in crease of cri:oe in the Irish metropolis, in consequence of the process maltilig by illegal societies, through whose en-rgetic ogeney force has risen superior to th;e. law, the Lori Lieutenant not being able to deny the fact, con: , oleil himself, and would fain conjole the Bri tish public, by asserting his belief that those illegal so cieties were ooly combinations of the worl:i:1; ! classes, 12;iconnece'ed witfi politics. II that were even so, sic ask if it won:d afrord any excuse for th.s conduct of a Go vernment rieficient in wisdom or proper energy as to allory force to rise superior to the law ? The absence, of political organisation front crime, instead of f'uruiehing an excuse for GulTillillent, would make its want of canacity and vigour still more apparent. But, we ask, was the destruction of the property of Mr. Crunness by hands of organised ruffians unconnected with polities ? Have the beatings which Protestant voters have received from way-laying bludgeon-men since the election been unconnected with politics ? Have such outrages been committed by combinations of workmen who have no views beyond the regulation of their mechanicel interests ? Let us take the latest instance of the energetic application of the principle of " popular controul," alias the skull-and-cross bones system of intimidation, to the person of one of her Majesty's subjects, and see whether it savours of political motive or not. It is the case of an unfor tunate man thus related in the Dublin Evening Mail :—" On Friday, the 23d ult., an industrious and respectable man, named Ganley, was murderously assaulted in the heart of the city of Dublin, within a few perches of her Majesty's gaol of Newgate. His alleged offence was that he had voted for West and Hamilton at the last election. From the first his case was declared to be hopeless, and he expired after ten days of mortal suffering, leaving a wife and five young helpless children to mourn his loss, and to bless the vigilance of a paternal and peace-restoring Government,' " This case, the Mail informs us, did not find its way into the Dublin Gazette. Com ment is unnecessary.—Morning Herald. The Ministerial papers, in pursuance, no doubt, of their instructions, labour to depreciate time effect of the Irish election petition subscription. We sincerely hope that they may persevere in this valuable labour. There cannot be better evidence than it affords that the undertaking is a good one, and that it promises to be steccessful in proportion to its merit. We pub lish to-day the fifth list of subscriptions. It is a long one ; and, what is of much greater importance than the mere number of names contained in it, the names are those of persons of the highest respectability in the places in which they severally reside—of persons who can have no interest to serve other than that which they hold, in common with every subject of the British Crown, in the constitutional character and legal integrity of the national representation. That the i House of Commons should be vitiated in the first Parliament of the reign of her Majesty by the presence and the votes of a number of Members who represent nothing but the fraud and perjury which Mr. O'Connell and the Roman Catholic Priests of Ireland, under the patronage of Lord Mul grave's Government, wield to their own purpose, is an evil which the people of England, notwithstanding the ineffectual sneers of the Ministerial party, think they should contribute to avert. The people of Eng land have contributed, are contributing, and will still further contribute, to shield their Sovereign and coun try from this :disgrace and calamity. And they will exert themselves with the greater zeal and alacrity in pursuit of this important object in proportion to the malice and rancour which their efforts excite among the friends and supporters of an Administration de pendent for its slender majority in the House of Commons upon false and fraudulent returns. The case is evidently one in which it would be mean ' and unjust to leave the loyal portion of the Irish 'people to the unassisted 'task of protecting the integrity and legitimacy of the representation of their country. The integrity of the Irish representation has been invaded, and its legitimacy stained, by a faction which seeks to perpetuate its sway, not over Ireland only, but over the whole empire ; and the false and fraudulent returns procured in aid of this object will be maintained by means in the employment of which the leaders of the faction have acquired much skill, and with a pertinacity and vigour pro portioned to the magnitude and value of the prize for which they are struggling, we hope in vain. The cause is a B..atish rather than an Irish cause, and Bri tish aid is not and will not be withheld from it. It is gratifying to find that this view of the matter is taken by so many and such important classes of the British community. The success of the sub scription among the middle ranks of society in the provincial towns of England affords a satis factory proof that its object is rightly appreciated by those who are the farthest removed from the sus picion of interested or merely party feeling. We hope and belisve that it soon will be in our power to an nounce that there is no considerable town, or even any considerable village, in England, in which a local con.- ; mittee has not been funned to promote this truly patri -1 OtiC subscription. The utmost facility should be af- I forded to every Englishmen to show that, while he respects and would strenuously maintain the constitu tional right of his Irish fellow-subjects to thcir law ful and honest share of the national representation, he is anxious that the use which Englishmen have made of their elective franchise should not be ren dered abortive, by the introduction into the House of Commons of a multitude of sham Members from the sister kingdom.—Morning Post.

MANCHESTER.--Business has been very flat in this town during the last few days ; the cessation of pur chases for Russia, the unfavourable tenor o' the American President's Message, and the flatness in the Liverpool cot ton-market, have all produced their share of effect on the demand for goods and yarn in this town. Rather lower pr. .*c .5 were offering yesterday for yarn ; but we are not aware that any decline was generally established. Indeed, most of the spinners are at present under contract,o that the quantity of yarn on the market is by no means large. —4lfanchester Guardian. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

An immense oak at Latremouille, in the Vienne, said to have once afforded an asylum under its branches to the beautiful Diana of Poitiers, was lately cut down, when a hollow was found in the trunk, in which had been depo sited a box of antique shape, carefully locked. Th e M ayor of Latremouille was called to witness the f ac t ; th e cas k et wa s opened , and within it were found one hundred and twenty-six coins and medals, bearing the effigies of Francis I. and Henry 11., and a letter from Diana to Henry de Va lois. The owner of the tree, on returning next day to the spot, found it next day split into pieces, and large holes dug in the ground . by the people o f th e country, i n t h e h ope o f discovering further treasure. Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, a labouring man, named Hillyer, who was at work on board the brig Maria, from Sunderland, lying off the Tower, fell into the hold with a thin bar of iron in his hand, which, by some means, was forced between his ribs on the right side, and came out at his back. He was removed to the hospi tal, and is not expected to survive. PRTCES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE COMPANIES,&c. &c. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 6.

Last night Mr. Carter, the Surrey coroner, held an kg:. quisition at the Black Bull public-house, Rotherhithe! street, touching the death of Mary Davis, who was fo und di owned in the Thame s on W e dnesday under the following circumstances : a• i The body presented a most dreadful spectacle , being a state of advanced decomposition. Mark Harrington deposed that he was a labourer. While he was proceeding down the river on Wednesday night last he observed a body floating down the stream. rowed to the spot, picked it up into his boat, and convey"' it to the Rotherhithe shore. In a short time a shell erag brought and the body was taken to the bonehouse. Th e he witness observed no marks of violence on the body . h er wore a bonnet and her dress was all open behind. On her left arm were the initials 'l'. B. James Collyer stated that o n Wednesday, the 27th u lt., be took two persons into custocl3l, of the names of Charles Westmacott (Captain of the Alesborough boat) and Robert Webb, on a charge of being concerned in the death of the deceased, who was an unfortunate female, and whose death took place on the same night. On the following morning he took them before Mr. Alderman Lucas, at Guildhall , who, after hearing the evidence, remanded them till the body of the deceased should be found. The captain was afterwards bailed, and the other remained in custody. Th e evidence that was brought forward was that about ten o'clock on the night of Wednesday the deceased was seen in company with the prisoners and a female to go on board a barge moored off Hamburgh Wharf. In about a q uarter of an hour a bustle was heard on board, when one of the watchmen going to the epot he learnt that a woman bad fallen overboard. The captain was at the time endeavour ing to get at the deceased with a long boat-hook. H e (the watchman) saw the deceased in the water. When d :a g g were procured the deceased was gone. Sarah Lowers stated that she went with the deceased and the person in custody on board the barge. While she and the captain wer o i n th e ca bi n a cr y wa s heard on d eck that the woman was overboard. Witness saw the captain endeavour to save the deceased by putting out a long boat hook, but she was carried away by the tide, which wa s running down very fast. The captain finding boat-hook would not reac h h er j um ped into a boat, but before he could get a wa y f rom th e vesse l the deceased h ad sunk. By a juror—When she went i n to the cabin the decea sed was sitting on a pl a nk, w hi c h was placed from the b ar g ° •o a vessel adjoinin g . Sh e h a d b een d r i n king during thin course of the evening. Th e son o f th e ca ptain, a child II 3 ears old, saw the woman f a ll over b oar d. The deceased was 25 years of age. that the Collyer said that the watchman of the wharf statei tO the Magistrate that if the captain had given the alarm whe n he saw the deceased in the water she miglith we been sow' Other evidence was adduced, which corroborated the above. The Coroner summed up the evidence at some length- The Jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and that the conduct of the captain in suffering such a boy as his son to witness such immorality was most disgraceful. The Animal's Friend Society (not the SoeretY usually called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) last week caused four men to be imprisoned for seven days at Dover for having worried a cat with a dog till it was nearly dead. But the agents having s ubmittal a case of great cruelty t o an ass by a fellow who had violently kicked the poor animal, and pulled it with the bi t ready to break its jaws, were greatly disappointed by Mr. Latham having expressed that he thought such treatment could not hurt an ass, and that the case was con sequently dismissed with cost s on th e prosecutors. A t U n ion Ha ll the Society caused Joseph Isles to be fined 15s. for c ruelty to a horse, and the cab d r i ver , 238, 101 . to t h e m aster fo r great injury done to I is horse ; also the hackney coachmen 1,753, to be imprisoned for ten days on complaint o f the Hon. Secretary for a similar offence. On Saturday last an operation was successfullV P er- , formed in Exet er o f th e utmost importance to the Me dico profession, and o f s till greater interest to persons labouring under pulmonary complaints. A young man of the narfi e of Tucket hai been afflicted for nearly two years w ith a" abscess in the lungs, which had increased to such a heigh t that his case was deemed utterly hopeless, and he nan ' e to Exeter f or c h ange o f a i r. Mr. Tucker, surg eon, c f. this city, having about seventeen years ago 'performed da successful ope ra ti on on t h e mot h er of this young man, f', as she is now alive and well, he naturally made apPlin a ", i e , to him, and consented to submit t o h ave an incision Ins in his side. Mr. Tucker having,'hy means of the stetho scope, ascertained the seat of the disease, most skilfuliY, performed it i n l ess th an t h ree m i nutes, wl en a q uantity .

Ho bore the operation with great fortitude, an is in a fair way of doing well.—Western Luminary. At the Seine Assizes (Paris), a man named GaY was charged with having caused the death of a young vir°' man named Bertre. It appeared that the body o f tb; deceased had been thrown out a window into the street, tu the window being one of those called a guillotine, from their narrow dimensions, it was believed that the prisoner first.. murdered his victim in the room, for it was the opinion nt several witnesses who had examined the window, that would have been impossible to eject any one from it caPathe On of struggling or offering any resistance whatever. bed-clothes there were, moreover, a number of bloo d y stain- ' and these were smeared, as if something had been droa's over, them ; and, at the post mortem examination, it discovered that the poor girl must have been intoxicatecel: from the quantity of wino found in the stomach ; an d ° ha t marks were found on th e b o d y as to warrant the be lief t violence had been o ff ere d t o the deceased before she was murdered. The prisoner was f oun d gu il ty o f wilful mug bi g' and sentenced to twe n ty y ears ' h ar d l a b our .
