FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom Galignani's Messenger, Morning Edition.) eiiedThe followin g extraor di nary c i rcumstances , w hi c h ma y be upon, have transpi re d res p ec ti n g the assassin, hitherto known by the name of Gerard ;—" His real name, as we an nounced yesterday, is Fieschi, and it is now ascertained that is a native of C ors i ca . ' At the age of 14 he entered the army of N ap l es, and gained the cross under Ki ng J oac hi m . !!'l lBl 5 he w en t w i t h the last expedition of that unfortunate he Prince into Calabria. In 1816 he returned to France, where was afterwards found guilty of a robbery with aggravated ( Iro itstance s , and sentenced to ten year's close confinement, and to remain under the surveillance, of the police for the remainder of his life. He underwent the whole of this pu rashment in the prison of Embrun, in the Hautes Alpes, °ll leaving which Lyons was assigned to him as his tloo of residence. Some time afterwards he surreptitiously i e o ‘ . , Lyons, assumed the name of Gerard, and worked . at ve. In 1830, Fieschi came to Paris, and presented him eit to the Commission of National Recompenses with false ..!rtificates, attesting that he had been condemned under the I.t,,estoration for political offences. Several Members of the the took an interest in him, and recommended him to him Minister of the Interior, who from time to time granted men relief. Thus it was that he became known to several p e ; l of honourable character, and particularly to Lieutenant- Colonel L'Advocat, formerly one of the members of the above mentioned commission, M. Didier, Secretary-General to the Minister of the Interior, M. Olivier Dufresne, and M. Caune, engineer to the Administration of the Bridges and Roads, .w n no have since recognized him. While Fieschi was apply -1 F to the Commission, he was attached to the journal ~!tled L a Revolution, then under the direction of M. Lennox. !ie.protection of these personages obtained for him an ad allsBloll into a company of sous-officers sedentaires, aryl he was afterwards appointed one of the superintendents of the :." Bievre, which, for a long time, brought him into con- N e c lion with a great many of the inhabitants of the Quartier I`,,c)uffetard. In 1833 the Prefect of Police discovered that all t"_l certificates were forged, and consequently denounced him in° the Procureur du Roi. Fieschi having gained timely warn _ disappeared, and bas ever since, it seems, gone by a ftferent name. During his confinement at Embrun he fines s close intimacy with a woman named Petit, this intimacy in . the same prison for fraudulent bankruptcy, and n intimacy has continued ever since, or been lately re pe:v.ed• After the execution of the attempt, the woman said fled into concealment. Her daughter, who it is I ), ared . had similar re l a tions with Fieschi, also disap arr The magistracy attached so much importance to the co p of thes e t wo women t h at t h e grea t es t exer tions to dis er their retreats were made, for, independent of the infor mation expected to be derived from them, there was every reaso n to believe that the trunk, about which so much has rn said, was carr i e d b y t h e assass i n t o the lodgings I ° l . them only a short time before the execution of Is horrible de i The efforts of the police have been dr ow ned with s gn. success ; both the women were arrested on Sun- Y night, an d t h e trun k di scovere d i n the possession of the dau ghter- It has been ascertained that since the 28th it has passed thr oug h n i ne diff erent b an d s , an d was for a time at the w lttse of a p erson name d Moret, who is in custody, and against a, his the re are very strong susp i c i ons. All t h e p a p er s found s house, however, consist of some duplicates from the Mont deP iete for some articles of women's dress pawned there, and some receipts for subscriptions to the Reformateur. (Afternoon Edition.) FURTHER PARTICULARS RESPECTING FIESCHI w hen in 1830 he presented himself as one that had been 'entieraned for a p o litical offence, he took advantage of his co me being the same as that of another Fieschi, who was tl:l°Promised in 1816 in the affair of Grenoble, representing t , at he only escaped being put to death on account of his Couth, shatg pleasure in relating that he had willingly veen His pretended misfortunes interested in his fa uatadr many who had been condemned for political offences der the Restoration, as well as various other persons. It as by certificates from General Tiburce Sebastiani and M. R eoration. , deputies for Corsica, that Fieschi partook of the reliefthegranted to those who had been political prisoners under He received 25f. a month up to the time w en his documents were found to be forged. After he was "Ppointed a superintendent of the Bievre he occupied a house bel onging t o the City of Paris, called the Moulin de Croule :ue, in the s t reet of the same name , near t h e G o b e li ns ' ma lactory, In the several riots which have taken place in the pttal Fieschi displayed great zeal and courage, desiring to ?e allo we d to join the National Guards, and giving informa "on respecting the insurgents and barricades, which he reared to have gai ne d by hi s a ctivity and intrepid courage. this time h e a l ways carr i e d a cane w i t h a sma ll swor d i n it, tl l . hada dagger concealed under his clothes. He at that e lived with the elder of the women who have been ar tested, whose daughter was about 18 years of age. His mis kess, bei ng engage d i n a sma ll trade, did not live in the Rue tmlebarb e ; but, according to accounts from the neighbours, mother having her suspicions concealed herself one elli ng in a closet in Fieschi's room, and surprised him with t , rd aughter, as they were on the point of going to bed toge r, • This a d venture caus ed a temporary separation between F ieschi and th e mot h er , but their intercourse was afterwards renewed-e Th e woman is sa i d to h ave b een a p ens i o ner of d last dynasty, and it is said to be certain that Fieschi one the showed to persons residing at the Gobelins, a portrait of bad osptioenfs.Bordeaux, and affected to entertain strong Car- On another day he reproached a person, who volution, I rtl,.l.lffered under the Restoration, for remaining in a su reUo (Mate situation, and said, " As for me, if we have another will ' kill Kings and Princes, and all the great t e o rs w °_ n _ages I can l ay my h an d s u p o n." No importance, ever, was a t tac h e d to these b rava d oes , as his character be well k nown. When Paris was i nva d e d b y t h e c h o l era , b ee P al tn d the most assiduous attentions to M. Caune, engi att the Ad m i n i strat i on o f B r idges and Roads, who was ticked with the disease, and excited the gratitude of M. W e ' ll ne's family an d f r i ends, an d M. C aun e frequently after-. a rds called Fieschi the p re server of his life. At the be tiiring of 1834, the persons who received pensions for having offe red under th e Restoration for political offences were called upon to re - produce their docume nts, which underwent a m ore rigid examination. The certificate of Fieschi's birth Wase c ompared with th e or i g i na l, and the name of his mother s f ound to be different. Upon this he was convicted of ~'.rgery, an d hi s name was erased from list of pensioners. Ins discovery also lost him the good opinion of his former le n ds, who soon after, it is said, entirely lost sight of him. l s Mistress changed her lodgings several times, and she told „I:later-carrier, who assisted her in her last removal, that she a u :, not wish to see Fieschi any more, that she was not his wife, tai u ,that her name was Petit. The police succeeded in aseer e&g the present abode of Madame Petit, who, as we have ere stated, has been arrested. It is also said that Boireau, l npist, who was arrested from being known to have lived named terrns of intimacy with the assassin, denied that any one Gerard had been to his house. The police, however, persisting in their assertions, BoireaU replied, " I have never to e n Gerard. I know no such person. The man who came 4s I lly house is named Fieschi." It will be recollected that, I l i s s e °e n Boireau was taken to the Conciergerie, he recog , d the person of the assassin. It is stated that the disco :ll' of the real name of the assassin arose out of the following :frcuMstances :--To the tradesmen of whom the constructor , t he infernal machine _procured thC articles required for h yin g trn _ his proj ec t i n t o execu tion, he never once gave the 1 24 eof Gerard, but uniformly that of Fieschi. His name Ti ng be en mentioned, suspicion was awakened, and endea -5 were made to find out who this person could be, when . 0 111 ,7 one recollected that Colonel L'Advocat had had a servant ect eorr tua t name. Upon this M. Gisquet undertook to acquire subjects, information. the accounts given If are correct, M. fersquet, in a conversation with Colonel L'Advocat on indif ferentsaid he was obliged to leave him in order to Wi s hed exami ne G erar d. U pon t hi s t h e C o l one l expressed a 6 7' to see th e p r i soner , an d requeste d t h e P re fect of Police ` o grant him permission. M. Gisquet at first p r etended to M use, b u t at length gave him an order to come in while he lathet Prefect) was engage d i n t h e i nterrogatory . A s soon as Lao Colonel saw the pretended Gerard, he said to 31. Gis- Z et, " You are mistaken in the name of this man, it is not erard but Fieschi." The latter on hearing this declaration of his former master " exclaimed, "I am lost;" and immediately tore the bandages from his head. It was in consequence of this violence that those symptoms have ensued which have Placed his life in danger. All accounts concur in showing that Fieschi is full of deceit and falsehood. During some ©f his examinations he has pretended to feel acutely for his children, whereas, in truth, he has no child at all. He has affected great indifference towards his wife, and yet he lived 11 Pon good terms with her, although he had more than one %nistress. rom the Mer des Chandoes. Fieschi had, it is said, an essa ac g cess of fev er on S a turday even nig, and was not so well on Sunday as he had been previously. His faculties appeared to be failing, and his medical attend ants were not so full of confidence in his recovery. Although the had mistresses, it appears that he is married. His wife, 1111 0 resided in the Champ de l'Alouctte, Quartier de l'Our- Sine, has been discovered and arrested, together with her f ather. Sh e asserts t h at s h e h ad no knowledge whatever of ~the proceedings of her husband, and compl a i ns th a t s h e was 'RI-treated by him. Fieschi led a mysterious life, and persons I ° l . l'lo were acqua i nte d w i t h hi m state t h at h e was an evil ,,f,unded man, an d th e terror of the quarter in which he lived. "em the v er y first of his examination, suspicions were en tertained , from his foreign accent, that he cam e f rom a dif ferent country t o th a t in which he stat e d hi mse lf t o h ave b een Dorn. The window of the room in which the infernal machine was Placed has been walled up. (From the Temps.) , A stout gentleman wearing a white hat, seemed to be the u.anke r who paid Fieschi, and was called by the latter, in do "my uncle." When he hired the apartment on the 430 ulevard t h e rent was requ i re d i n a d vance , because. he had 1:10 furniture. The ge ntl e man paid the amount in gold. Moreover, Fieschi has three lodgings in Paris under different His attempt h a s, it is said,' cost dearly, as he re•• quire f or t h e commission of it vast sums, which were always P a id in advance. He was greatly addicted to women. One f: his three mistresses possessed an absolute dominion over' t' • n, which was tak en a d van t age o f f or th e p ur p ose o f d raw i ng tar o t o the perpetration of the crime. The National contains a letter from M. Bergeron, from "Lich i t appears he has not been arrested, although a warrant 1 $ out against him. He declares that he has no intention to avoid the investigations of justice, for he has nothing to fear; but as he can have only to answer to general questions, he does not choose to subject himself to a detention beforehand.

We did not deny the existence of hostile inten tions against the Press, founded on exceptional measures and projects of reaction. Already the most influential of the journals devoted to the doctrinaire system (Journal des Debats) has manifested a complete change of sentiment. That journal began with cries of war, and vehement appeals for a sort of crusade against the press. It called all resentments, all ha tred, under a banner, which almost resembled that which Mar tainville held 15 years ago, and whose motto was almost pro scription. The language is now more moderate. It is re membered that nothing is to be asked of the charter but laws which that compact approves. The charter furnishes society with all the guarantees which it needs. If new laws are ne cessary, if those which exist are impotent, the Chambers will not leave society or the Government without defence. The Chambers will discharge their duty. • FRENCH FUNDS —Yards, Annum' 4. Five per Cents., 109 f. 10c. 15c. 20c. Four per Cents., 99f. Three per Cents., 79f 90c. '79f '79f. sc.

The King and Queen, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Ernest of Hesse Philips thal, arrived at five o'clock from Windsor. The banquet was arranged in a superb temporary room, executed by his Grace's architect and clerk of the works. In the centre was a circu lar table for their Majesties, the Royal Family, the Foreign Ministers and their Ladies. The banquet consisted of every sort of viands and wines, with fruits of extraordinary growth and flavour. The visitants on their arrival visited the grar4 temple in the conservatory, erected at an expense of 30,0001., and con taining trees and plants from every country.

THE LAWRENCE GALLERY The third exhibition of the sketches by the old Mastc collected by the late Sir Thomas Lawrence, has been opened by Messrs. Woodburn, in a convenient gallery on their own premises in St. Martin's-lane. It consists of works from the pens and pencils of Claude and Nicholas Poussin-50 of each. Both are rich in subject, and afford abundant and satisfactory specimens of the spontaneoUs designs, the first thoughts of these great artists. In both there is much care combined with much freedom, great truth and power of effect, with the utmost, simplicity of manner. The Claudes are almost wholly land scape, with some intermixture of his favourite marine views. Amongst the latter is what indeed may be considered the gem THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1835. of the collection ; namely, the original sketch, No. 17, for the great picture, now in our National Gallery, of the " Embar kation of the Queen of Sheba." This is executed in bistro, heightened with a white wash, and it appears, in its brilliancy and finish, equal in its style to the great masterpiece which it anticipated. The companion to this in the same characte ristics, is a " View of Santa Maria Maggiore, in Rome," in which we find all the force of Canaletti. The prevailing sub ject, however, in these studies is woodland landscape, reflect ing nature itself, not so much in its picturesque forms, as in its noblest effects. There is a lofty feeling throughout the treat. ment of them all. Some of the studies from trees and fore grounds are also admirable lessons to the young painter. On the whole, we should say that, next to the Rubens' sketches, those of Claude Loraine are the most interesting that we have seen from the collection of Sir Thomas Lawrence. The Poussins in this exhibition are, nevertheless, very good speci mens ; they are, for the most part, designs for figure subjects, arid indicate strongly the high knowledge of art, the classic taste, and fertile imagination of their author. Many of them display the singular peculiarity of a very broken outline united to carefulness, and producing a true effect. Whoever may visit Mr. Woodburn's Gallery will, in addition to these works which we have mentioned, have the pleasure to see some noble cartoons by Caracci, and also a few of the late President of the Royal Academy's best sketches, besides many other select works of art. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. The Earl of Granard, at Batt's Hotel, Dover-street, from Paris ;' Captain Grey, at ditto, from Brighton ; Mr. and Mrs. Meynell, in Brook-street, from Cheltenham; Major Mac donald, in Dover-street, from Scotland ; Captain and Mrs. Mackenzie, in Regent-street, from Ireland; Major and Mrs. Anderson, at the Waterloo Hotel, Jermyn-street,,,front Scot land. himself, in his corporate capacity, petitioned against the Bill, the requisitors themselves called it, to be held in the area of the Coloured Cloth-hall on Monday at twelve o'clock. A little after the hour appointed the requisitors appeared on the hustings. The meeting was exceedingly respectable, and numbered about 5,000 or 6,000 soon after its commencement. John Clapham, Esq., who was called to the Chair, opened the proceedings with a speech which we regret we arc obliged to omit. Mr. E. Baines, jun., also addressed the meeting in a speech replete with wit and sound argument. gfiThe Resolutions submitted to the meeting were carried unanimously. MANCHESTER. We have just heard that the Reformers of Manchester view with feelings of alarm and indignation the recent pro ceedings in the House of Lords, in reference to the Corpo ration Reform Bill, and that they are taking immediate steps to make their sentiments known on the subject to that branch of the Legislature. As the Bar - passed the House of Com mons without a single division ever taking place on its prin ciple, it was generally believed by the Reformers that the Lords would have had the wisdom to pass it, without any ma terial alteration, and their disappointment is therefore now keenly felt in consequence of the probability that now appears of their throwing it out. Monday, a petition to the Lords, emanating from the Hull Reform Association, and praying their Lordships to pass the Corporation Reform Bill unimpaired and unmutilated, was placed for signature in different parts of the town. The num ber of signatures obtained in a single day, without any prepa ratory appeal to the public, amounts to about 5,000. Is was deemed advisable to dispatch the petition next morning, else the list of names might have been quadrupled. If the prayer of the petitioners be disregarded, we are apprehensive that they will never again forward an expression of their wishes to the House of Peers. The petition has been forwarded for pre sentation to Lord Melbourne.—Hull Observer. The apprehension that the Lords in hearing Counsel on half of the old Corporations were paving the way for throwing out the Corporation Reform Bill, has produced the greatest excitement among the people. Should the Peers rashly op pose themselves to the public wish, they will incur a terrible responsibility. It seems incredible that Sir Robert Peel or the Duke of Wellington will sanction the mad desire of a col lision with popular power. We cannot believe that the Lords will dare to reject the Bill. The peace of Corporate towns depends upon its being passed in the present Session of Parlia ment. Perhaps the permanency of their Lordships' order also hangs upon the result. There are at this moment many bitter enemies of that " or der," who will rejoice in its members taking a course that must render them odious to the country. They profess to be the protectors of our ancient institutions—they will do well to look that they do not, by blind and precipitated councils, place those institutions in peril.—Hull Observer. GREAT MEETING TO PETITION AGAINST THE DUBLIN RECORDER. INFAMOUS CONDUCT OF THE ORANGEMEN. The aggregate meeting of the citizens of Dublin, which was interrupted on last Monday by the forcible entry and tu multuous conduct of a gang of Orangemen, under the leader ship of Johnny M'Crea, took place this day, by adjournment, at the Coburg Gardens. Shortly after nine o'clock, and long previous to the ap pearance of any gentlemen on the platform (which was erected since Saturday for the accommodation of the speak ers,) about two hundred of the Orange faction, most of them of the very lowest order, armed with bludgeons, and supplied with missiles of rather an extraordinary character—namely, balls of .lead, rudely fashioned, each weighing about half a pound, rushed in a body into the field, despite the efforts of the , police to prevent them, and dashed on towards the platform. They were met, however, by the crowd within, and a furious conflict ensued, in which many beads were broken on the side of the incursionists, who were in about ten minutes en tirely expelled from the gardens. The Orangemen were headed by an unfortunate Italian, a teacher of languages, who hap pened to be employed in some Tory family in town, and was pressed into the service under a menace of beiBg deprived of his situation, if he did not comply. This poor dupe was dread fully punished for his temerity, being nearly murdered by the mob, and the whole party was chased through several streets down to College-green, The shops, wherever they passed, were instantly closed, and continued so until evenin g . By this time information was conveyed to the authorities, and in a short time some troops of cavalry, several companies of in fantry, with a large force of the mounted police arrived. When order was restored, and the rioters dispersed in all quarters, Sir Edward Blakeney, Commander of the garrison, and acting commander of the forces, was on the field of meeting, and with several officers of the line, the town mayor and police magis trates remained there until the business concluded. At one o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Callaghan, a respectable merchant and banker. Several gentlemen ad dressed the meeting, and resolutions were unanimously agreed to, strongly condemnatory of the language used by the Re corder at the Sheriffs' dinner. The following are the fourth and fifth resolutions. The fourth says —" That we hold the dissemination of such (pi nions (alluding to his speech at Sheriff Carolin's dinner) by the Recorder, to be wholly at variance with his duty as a Judge, and that we do therefore feel called upon to present a petition to Parliament, praying for inquiry into the fact of the public expression of these and similar sentiments, and such further measures as may be deemed necessary thereon." The fifth resolution states, that as the majority of the householders are liable to serve on juries in the Recorder's Court, and are also reformers, they feel deeply injured by the Recorder's attack upon their moral and social character. It was resolved inter alia, to petition the Legislature on the subject of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech, and also to implore Parliament to pass an act rendering Mr. Shaw in eligible to become a member as long as he held his present judicial office, the discharge of its duties being in the opinion of the meeting incompatible with his attendance in the House of Commons, where he could not be present without frequent inconvenience to the citizens, and great delay in the further ance of the ends of justice. The meeting then quietly dis. persed. There could not have been less than 20,000 persons assembled at one period of the proceedings. e T e t h i e n g , O r r e a p n a g i r e e m d o t b e , t a h f e t e r m b e e r i e n h g a e expelled pe h a l dfrom a e d hel dthae separate a c ra o t e f m meeting, of which I have not been able to ascertain particu lars. Great excitement prevailed. The meeting broke up about half-past three ; but about an hour after, a large crowd proceeded past the Merchant's-hall, when the Orangemen, having armed themselves with rusty swords, pikes, &c., charged the people, and an alarming skirmish ensued. Mr. Blacker, the Rev. Mr. M'Crea, and several others, have ad dressed the crowd. Several individuals have been wounded, and some, it is feared, fatally. Great alarm was at one time entertained for the peace of the city, but from the exertions of the police, &e., it is expected that order will be shortly re stored. The Orangemen have behaved disgracefully. The Marquis of Douro intends being present at the grand review of the Russian troops, which takes place in Sep tember. The Duke of Devonshire has abandoned his inten tion of visiting the baths of Aix in Provence, in consequence of the cholera having broken out at that place and at Mar seilles. His Grace is now at Paris, on a visit to the Earl and Countess Granville, whence he returns in time for the com mencement of the grouse shooting, on the moors, at Bolton, in Yorkshire. ---------- The Hon. J. J. B. Ponsonby, son of Lord Dun cannon, and member for Derby, will shortly lead to the hyme neal altar, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the Earl of Durham. The Hon. Member will pair off during the ensuing week, and immediately after the ceremony return to his Parliamentary duties.—Morning Paper. The following requisition is in course of signature in the Ward of Vintry :- 44 TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMAN, OF THE WARD OF VINTRY. " My Lord—We, the ;;(lersigned inhabitants of the Ward of Vintry, respectfully request that you will call an early meeting of the inhabitants thereof, to consider the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Municipal Corpo ration Reform Bill with the least possible delay, and without any alteration that would tend to impair its efficiency." A meeting took place yesterday evening at Batter sea-fields, between R. J. Mackintosh, Esq., attended by Major- General Sir John Campbell, and William Wallace, Esq., at tended by Dr. Richard Burke. The word having been given, Mr. Mackintosh's pistol missed fire, and Mr. Wallace fired in the air. A second fire took place without effect, and the parties, after a mutual explanation, shook hands. The work of Registration is proceeding well and vi gilantly for the popular cause. The Committee of the South Lambeth Reform Association intend to call a public meeting at the Three Compasses on Thursday next, for the purpose of giving information to all those who have been omitted in the Registration Lists how to proceed to secure their rights, and to furnish them with notices of claims. The Reformers should recollect that next Sunday, the 9th of August, is the I last day on which the register will be placed on the church doors. If they wish to preserve their franchise, let them examine the Register, and if their names are omitted send notice to the overseers, on or before the 25th of August. MONEY MARKET.—The Bank Directors met on Tuesday, it appears, for the purpose of devising the best means of preventing any undue pressure on the money market through the payment of the deposit on the loan. The mode they have adopted is on the precise model of that in use shortly after the shutting of the books at the Bank for the payment of the quarterly dividends, and is, in fact, a mere anticipation, by one month, of that measure. It is also extended for a few days beyond the usual period, which is done, it is understood, with the view of covering and facilitating the second payment on the loan. The Scrip will not in the first instance, of course, come within the description of "approved securities," though it may become so, at the discretion of the Bank, and to a cer tain amount, after the next instalment has been paid. Alto gether it is expected that the measure now brought forward will have the effect of relieving the money market to the extent desired. The following are the terms of the official notice : " The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby give notice, that on and after the sth inst. they will be ready to receive applications for loans upon the deposit of bills of exchange, Exchequer bills, East India bends, or other approved securities, such loans to be repaid on or before the 20th of October next, with interest at the rate of 3/. 10s. per cent. per annum, and to be for sums of not less than 2,000/. " Bank of England, August 5." The general anticipation of this measure on Tuesday, and its appearance yesterday, have given great firmness to the funds, and a further advance has taken place, both in Consols arid in American.—Morning Paper.

To see his way and prove wrong right Cannot be done by aid of Knight. CORPORATION REFORM. BO.ROUGII OF FINSBURY. Last night a numerous and highly respectable public meet ing of the inhabitants and householders of the Borough of Finsbury was held at White Conduit-house, to consider the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Muni cipal Corporation Reform Bill unmutilated, and without delay. T. S. Duncombe, Esq., M.P., in the Chair. The Chairman and Committee entered the room at seven o'clock, and were received with loud and reiterated applause. The CHAIRMAN commenced by stating, that there was no thing more imperatively demanded than that the local Govern ments of the nation should be placed under popular controul.— ( Cheers.) He had last night heard a corporator of Leicester state that 10,0001. of the Corporation's fund, had been applied to Conservative electioneering purposes. The Chairman then read some further extracts from the report of the Commission. He doubted not that Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr. Knight would be amply rewarded for their labours. He had heard part of Sir Charles's speech himself in the House of Lords, and it was so ludicrous that the Temporal Lords laughed at it out . right; nay more, it had the effect of unsettling the gravity even of their Spiritual Reverences the Bishops.—( Renewed laughter.) But how long was such trifling with this important measure to be submitted to ? Why, until the people of Eng land should bestir themselves in earnest—(Cheers)—and he _ _ was proud to see the borough of Finsbury forward in doing its duty.--( Cheers.) The object for which the present assembly was convened was to tell the House of Lords that the people must and will have the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill en tire and unmutilated.—( Cheers. ) Mr. F. 0. MARTIN then came forward to move the first re, solution :—" That this meeting regards with the most earnest satisfaction the successful progress of, through the House of Commons, a Bill now pending in the House of Lords, for re forming the municipal corporations of England and Wales, and had hoped that such Bill might receive the approbation of their Lordships, as well from the reasonableness of its provi. sions as from its framers possessing the confidence of the Crown and of the country." Mr. Martin would only detain the meet ing a few minutes. Without this Bill he held the Reform Bill was a dead letter. Mr. Martin concluded by recommend- ing a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether for the Bill in question, and there was no doubt but that the House of Lords would be compelled to concede it.—( Applause. ) Mr. BARNARD seconded the resolution, which, on being put from the Chair, was carried unanimously. Mr. TEMPLE, the barrister, said the Bill in question was first great fruits of the Reform measure, and the people looked ardently therefore to sec it passed into a law. The Lords had, however, interposed, to delay, if na to frustrate their hopes. Let them be supine no more, but let them tell the House of Peers, in their petition, to be pre sented by the Prime Minister, that they know that what they ask are their rights, and are therefore bold in demanding them; that they had confidence in the present Government, and could have none in those who, by intrigue having su p_ planted its members, stepped into their places ; that what they looked to was men as a means to measures; and that if they found the present Ministry falter, they would dismiss them, as they did their predecessors before them. Let them add, that the only Ministry the people would respect was one that did their work, and rescued them from the thraldom of an Aristocratic domination. The Speaker concluded by moving the following resolution ;—" That this meeting deprecates the plan pursued by their Lordships of hearing evidence up on the merits of the Corporations, after their condemnation has been long since justly pronounced by the public voice, as notoriously corrupt ; and such condition subsequently con firmed, by the report of his Majesty's Commissioners, made upon a full and patient investigation of the constitution and management of such Corporations." Mr. JOHN TOWILL RUTT seconded the motion. Mr. WAKLEY next addressed the meeting. He commenced by saying that the House of Commons had been counted out that night, and he therefore took a look in at the other House. They had not quite so many comic actors now as a few years ago, and he went to see the comic actors in the House of Lords. There they sat lolling on their crimson cushions, in a state many of them of senility, and almost of idiotcy.—( Cheers and hisses.) At their' bar stood a robed barrister, with an unshorn sheepskin on his head.—( Laughter and symptoms of disapprobation.) And what was the ques tion their Lordships had to decide ? Why, it was, whether the people should govern themselves and administer their own funds. Nothing could be more monstrous than the course adopted of hiring advocates to stifle the voice of the people. What right had the Lords to take the speeches of paid plead ers, as furnishing a moral argument against the Bill ? Law yers always made bad Legislators, for they were so constantly employed in confounding together truth and falsehood, that at last they did not themselves know the difference. It is the people that must now make themselves heard by the Peers. The Lords must not be allowed a single hour's re pose. This was the first grand measure since the passing of the Reform Bill, and the Peers sought to smother it at the very threshold of their House, but they would find out that they people knew their rights, and were determined to maintain them. Mr. HEWITT moved the third Resolution :—" That this meeting considers that the course pursued by their Lordships in obstructing Corporation Reform, will tend to weaken, if not wholly to destroy, the respect which the people have en tertained for the aristocracy of this country." The Resolution was seconded by Mr. Hotchkins, and car ried unanimously. Mr. BUCK then moved the fourth Resolution That a petition embodying the above Resolutions, be presented to the House of Lords—that the Right Hon. Lord Melbourne be respectfully requested to present the said petition—and that the Chairman of the meeting be requested to sign it on behalf of the meeting." On the mention of Lord Melbourne's name in this Resolu tion immense cheering took place, and it was with difficulty and after the lapse of some time that the mover could make himself heard by the meeting. The petition to the House of Lords was then read, and ap. proved of by the meeting ; it was signed by the Chairman :a their name, and the meeting separated. TS, LEEDS PUBLIC MEETING. As soon as it was known in Leeds that the House of Lords had determined to hear Counsel on thc: Municipal Reform Bill, and that many of their Lordships had evinced a strong hostility to the measure, a Requisition was immediately set on foot, and in a few hours received 106 signatures, including the leading Reformers, requesting the Mayor to call a public meeting, " to consider the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Municipal Corporations Regulation Bill unimpaired in any of its essential provisions." The Mayor having declined to call the meeting, on the ground that he had MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

IN AUGUST, 1835.—Notwithstand ing the engrossing nature of various important political ques tions, the charms of literature still assert their delightful sway. And what intellectual being can resist their influence? Who that takes any interest in the great events which form the basis of our religion, will not dwell with veneration over Chateau briand's eloquent description of his " Travels to Jerusalem and the Holy Land?" Which of our great landed proprietors will not refer with pride to Mr. Burke's national work, " The His tory of the British Landed Gentry ?" Who that has not already perused Mr. Poole's " Comic Sketch Book," can long refrain from the enjoyment of it ? And, at a time when the affairs of Ireland are so forcibly occupying the public mind, what person of patriotic feelings will neglect to inform himself of the true state of the sister kingdom as exhibited in " Sir John Bar rington's Memoirs of Ireland and the Union," a new edition of which, enriched with forty portraits of the great leading characters connected with her history, has most opportunely appeared? This is, indeed, the age for cheap literature, when such works as the last mentioned, and " Garrick's Private Cor respondence with the most Emineut ,Persons of his Time," may be had for considerably less than half the price of the first editions. The above works are published for H. Colburn, by R. Bentley, and may be obtained of any respectable book seller throughout the kingdom. FRENCH LITERATURE.--PIGAULT LE BRUN. --The best of French novelists is no more. The gay, the witty, the amiable Pigault le Brun has expired at the advanced age of 83. The author of the inimitable history of " Jerome ;" " Monsieur Botte ;" " Mon Oncle Thomas;" " The Barons de Felshein ;" " Nous les sommes tous," and a score of other unrivalled novels, sleeps the last sleep. Pigault le Brun was the French Fielding ; he possessed. the same humour, the same truth to nature, the same graphic powers of descrip tion, the same occasional coarseness, and a far greater richness of imagination. It is now sixty years since Pigault began to write. He was the best novelist of the day during the revo lution, and in his own peculiar department the best after it. His Mademoiselle Javotte in the amusing " History of Jerome the Foundling," is, notwithstanding all her errors, a creature whom it is impossible not to love—as sweet a creation as ever was pourtrayed by the imagination of a poet. Corporal Brandt in the " Barons de Felshein," is in no wise inferior, and quite as good in his way, as the inimitable Caleb Balder stone of Sir Walter Scott. His characters start, upon our remembrance by dozens, and so vividly as almost to make us imagine that we had gleaned knowledge of them from the life, and not from the pages of fiction. Pigault le Brun has died full of years and full of honour, and his mantle has de scended upon another apostle, worthy of so distinguished a predecessor. Paul de Kock is the writer who has cultivated wit the greatest success the style of Le Brun ; and whose works in their vigour and freshness, repay us for the sickly and morbid sentimentality of the majority of contemporary French novelists. LONDON AND MARLBOROUGH STEAM COACH. —The steam carriage drag, which has been advertised for the last month to run between London, Reading, and Marlborough, started on Monday, at five a.m., from Hyde Park-corner. The omnibus attached to the drag was filled with a respectable company, who took breakfast at Fetcham, about eight o'clock. At half-past eight they again started and passed through Read ing, about half-past 10 o'clock, and arrived at Newbury, 56 miles, at 12 o'clock. On Kingsford-hill they were met by the Bath coach, one of the leaders of which shied at the noise of the steamer, and fortunately broke loose from the traces, or a serious accident would most probably have occurred. At this place a number of cavalry soldiers were ordered out to escort the steam coach through the town, as there was much ill feel ing exhibited on the part of the lower order of the inhabi tants, who get their living principally by the stage coaches passing through the town. The steamer left Hungerford at 20 minutes to one, and completed the remaining 10 miles by by two o'clock, when they reached Marlborough, running the whole distance of 75 miles in eight hours and a half. After remaining about an hour at Marlborough, the steam coach set forward on its return to town, but in attempting to ascend Marlborough-hill, which is very steep, some , part of the ma chinery gave way, and after a vain endeavour to repair the damage it was found necessary to procure the assistance of seven horses,; who drew it up the hill, when the journey was continued at a pretty good rate to Newbury, where the omnibus was detached and left behind ; the drag continuing its course to Reading, about two miles from which, at a place called the World's-end, it also stopped, being unable to go further. During the night the machinery was repaired, and the " steamer" was got under weigh early in the morning, and arrived at Hyde Park-corner about half-past 10 o'clock. In the course of this journey of 150 miles, the difficulty that arose was in ascending the hills, by which the machinery was strained, and ultimately broken. Much inconvenience was really felt by the numerous stage-coaches which pass on this road, from the noise of the machinery and the novelty of the machine causing the horses to " shy ;" and two or three in stances of narrow escapes from this circumstance occurred. On a former occasion Moody's Windsor coach narrowly escaped being upset, the leaders taking fright and breaking their traces t when close to a deep ditch. YORK AUGUST MEETING. YORK, TUESDAY EVENING. The attendance of horses certainly exceeds what might have been expected, for the excessive hot weather has rendered the race grounds, as well as most of the training places in the north, so hard, as to make trainers rather shy of bringing horses out at the risk of destroying . their feet, if not of their breaking down. Our course, however, is far from being so hard as might be anticipated, and a shower which fell on Saturday night, together with a good crop . of short thick grass, have combined to make it in excellent running order; the plates have filled beyond expectation, and all augurs well for the sport. Of the quality of the competitors, the appear ance of the list does not promise great things ; yet we have on oc casions seen a winner of the Leger conic forth from a less imposing list. The weather is exceedingly fine, and a good show of com pany is looked for. The innkeepers have given a plate for Satur day, and 75/., the gift of the Corporation, which was proposed to be added to some stakes which did not fill, is intended to form another stake for that day, so that the meeting will continue four days as usual. As yet, little or no betting has taken place. Lord Kel burne's hprse is the favourite for the three-yrs-old Produce, and 6 to 4 is laid on Matilda, for the four-yrs-old Produce to-morrow, which rests between her and Medea. The trainers complain much of the Stakes not being sufficiently advertised, as, had they known of them earlier, tfscy would have brought many more horses.
