Is it not monstrous that a body of briefless lawyers should have been hired by the Ministers of the Crown to travel throughout England, armed with such authority as those Ministers could give, to col lect huge volumes of malignant slander against the reputation of the most eminent inhabitants of every corporate town ? Is it not still more mon strous that these huge volumes of malignant slander should so have been collected in order to found upon them an Act of the Legislature which was to disturb much valuable property, and annul many important and well-established rights ?

The Whig Ministers who appointed the Corporation Commission ers . may even more fairly be charged with the foul 'slanders of which (thanks to the conscientious regard of the House of Lords to the character and property of their fellow-subjects) those Commissioners and the swarms of false witnesses whom they drew around them are about to be convicted, than the man can be charged with murder who has slain a fellow creature by a pistol-shot, fired at random into a public highway, for in a fortunate concurrence of circumstances the pistol-shot so fired at random may, by possibility miss every human being, while there is no possibility that such Commissioners should fail to give birth to just such volumes of flagitious calumny as those recently edited under the authority of the Executive Government. What was it that the Whig Corporation Commissioners in effect proclaimed to the whole body of the inhabitants of every city and corpo rate town, that they disturbed and infected by their presence ? What was it that they were authorized to proclaim ? It was simply this If in the town or city (as the case might be) of man who envies or who hates the possessors of local authority, justly or unjustly, with reason or without, if there be any man who harbours resentment, for that he fancies municipal honours and authority, have de scended upon him too slowly; for that he deems any services he may have rendered, or supposed himself to have rendered to the town to have been inade quately rewarded ; for that he imagines he has been unjustly or excessively punished by the local Magis trates for any offence which he may have heretofore committed—if, in short, there be any discontented man, whether his discontent arise from an Alderman having neglected to return his salutation with sufficient courtesy, from the omission to send him an invitation to the last corporation dinner, or from the beadle hav- E. ,SHAD ed to.

If Lord Melbourne has the resoluteness of character ascribed to him, he will sit with the Lords till Christmas ; and why did he not di vide, even if alone, against last night's device of the Tories ? We again tell the Reformers throughout the empire, in England, Wales, Scotland, , and Ireland, that unless Public Opinion is lotiillfiiiipressed, Cor poration Reform will not take place this.yCar. — How long is this great nation to be thus mocked with false hopes of better Government ? The Lords are merely repeating their old game, when Bills for the disfran chisement of corrupt boroughs were sent up to them from the Commons. They then satisfied the country that there was no corruption so gross that it would not be protected by their Lordships ; and the public im patience at the constant disappointment of their best founded hopes, rose at length into a degree of indig nation which even their Lordships were compelled to respect. They who refused even the most minute Reform were obliged to yield a measure commensurate with the just expectations of the nation.—Morning Chronicle. nervations Just published, in demy Bvo., price 2s. 6d. bds., REPORTS of the PROCEEDINGS of the COMMISSION to PREPARE the EXPEDITIONS to PORTUGAL, in favour of Her Most Faithful Majesty, in the years 1832 and 1833.

No timber having been felled for many years, the very great excellence of the growth, the abundance of young trees for stock, the approximity of the wood to the Town of Chesham, where Beech Timber, like the pre— sent, is very much in request by the turners and manufac turers of the Town, which is celebrated for its immense fac tories for Turnery ; its being in the vicinity of that great national undertaking, the LONDON and BIRMINGHAM RAIL ROAD, for which an immense quantity of Beech Timber is being used ; and in consequence of which the value of timber in the neighbourhood has considerably increased, and the whole of this highly favoured property being Freehold, Tithe-free, and Land-tax redeemed, renders it so unusually eligible, that it is almost unne cessary to add more, than that it must prove a source of immense profit to the Capitalist who may be so exceedingly lucky as to be come its purchaser, the advantages above enumerated but being a very few of the very many which this eligible Estate possesses.

It is no joke to hold office under Mr. Daniel O'Connell. There are few sinecures about the agita tor's court. The blindest obedience, servility the most absolute, are qualifications with which he is not the man to dispense in those who tender him their political allegiance. The Church of Rome in the person of her haughtiest and most inexorable confessor exacts not from the trembling penitent a more abject prostration of spirit and understanding than the pensioned lay tyrant Mr. Daniel O'Connell insists on from the Whig and Radical tools of his policy. A scene more disgusting than that which occurred two nights ago in a certain house which shall be nameless, has never, we understand from those who observed it, been witnessed by the oldest person now alive, or spoken of in any tradition extant.

An additional insult to the " people of Ireland" means, of course, the slightest emtravention of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's will ! Dearly have the Ministers paid for this man's patronage of them and of their Government ; deep has the iron en tered- into their wincing souls. Humbled, cringing, crouching, supplicating, how mean and pusillanimous is the whole aspect of these poor overridden gentlemen when the agitator flings at them one reproachful scowl. We only ask any dispassionate Englishman to read the report of last Monday night's proceedings, and tell us what he thinks of the figure made by Lord Mor peth, Mr. S.

The Hereditary Peers last night betrayed their un questionable feelings and real intentions on the sub ject of the Ministerial measure of Corporation Reform. Rumours had been prevalent for several days that the Tory Lords meditated the ultimate rejection of the Bill ; that they would not have the manliness to effect that object by a direct vote on the second reading ; but that they would accomplish their secret purpose by an ingenious but palpable mode of delay, viz., by receiving evidence and hearing Counsel against the Bill. Their Lordships, in their infinite wisdom, and with sui cidal folly as respects their own interests, came to this solemn decision last night. Thus, in the last week of July, when the majority of the Commons have left London, the Peers have elected a course of procedure which, persevered in, must infallibly occasion the speedy loss of the Bill. If the self elect Corporators,—the notorious and convicted usurpers of the municipal rights of the people-- are, in one instance to be allowed to defend themselves at the bar of the Lords by counsel and evi dence, it is obvious that the same measure of grace must be conceded to all. In this way the Lords clearly place in the hands of the existing corporators the power of delaying their reformation to an indefinite period. Will the country quietly admit this mockery of legislation ? We can scarcely find terms to express our disgust at this extraordinary proceeding of the Peers. Do the Tory Lords mean by this course to feel the pulse of the nation—to discover how far they may hereafter proceed with impunity, and whether it will be "safe" finally to reject the Bill ? If this experiment be their real design we doubt not that the great majority of the inhabitants of all the corporate towns will quickly manifest not only their opinions on the determination of the Peers last night, but express some startling opinions, as to the Hereditary Corporation of the Upper House of Parliament. We plainly tell the country,. that if the Lords persevere in this course of delay, Corporation Reform is lost. A solemn farce will be acted for the remainder of the Session ; Corporation after Corpora tion will claim to be heard in self-defence ; and we should recommend the Lords, for decency sake, and to save their own time, to delegate their judicial powers to some tribunal where the forms of justice, and bar risters on each side, may be heard. Last night their. Lordships, instead of debating the second reading, passed the whole evening in discussing the admis sibility of evidence and counsel ; they ultimately read the Bill a second time, pro forma, without one word of debate on its principle or details ; they com mitted it, and agreed, Mill. con., to hear counsel and evidence on Thursday evening, at five o'clock, on behalf of the corporators of the cities of Bristol, Oxford, Coventry, and one or two other municipal towns, who have clubbed together and retained Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr. Knight, two ultra-Tory members of the Chancery Bar I Before even the Lords have discussed the question—after they have read the Bill a second time—they are to hear two re tained barristers, paid from the public funds of the pro testing corporators. The Bill has passed the Commons; its principle has been distinctly admitted by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley, the leaders of the Opposition ; two points only of any moment have been disputed, the inchoate political rights of the freemen, and a pe cuniary qualification for the Municipal Representative; and yet the Lords must needs, in a measure almost ex clusively relating to the Commons, step in at the eleventh hour to disappoint the nation, and repeat their schemes regarding the Reform Bill of 1832. When it suited the Tories they could disfranchise the whole body of forty-shilling freeholders without a hearing ; they passed the Scotch Burgh Bill in 1833 without any of this parade or mockery of justice, and when the late House of Commons showed a bold front, the Tories in the Commons have silently admitted a new franchise to supersede the municipal rights of the freemen : in brief, all that the Tories really care a a straw about is to preserve the corporations as po litical party engines, and the freemen for the pur pose of corruptly returning Members to Parlia ment. And why should Lord Brougham, after the opposition of Lord Melbourne to the Tory propo sition, conform to this notable scheme of hearing counsel and evidence? Probably his Lordship desires to see the Peers adopt a course which out of doors will be viewed as we all know. But we leave Municipal Reform in the hands of the people : it is their concern ; they can carry it if they will, and we neither doubt their will nor their power. It is now time that this country should be no longer torn by fac tions, or exposed to the arts of courtiers ; it is fitting that this annual collision, threatening the best inte rests of the empire, between an Elective and Here ditary Legislature should cease ; and the Lords are pursuing a course which must bring matters to a speedy and decisive issue. Assuredly they will rue the day on which they came to the determination of muti lating or rejecting the Ministerial measure. If they be determined to raise a premature political discussion of the rights of Hereditary Legislators, the Peers will proceed in their course of last night. Ministers must, on their part, display a moral courage pro portionate to the emergency, or the Whigs, as a party, will follow the fall of the Tories. It is impossible that the anomaly in our Constitution can long continue, if the people be incessantly trifled with in this manner. We think that the Lords would be much better occupied on Thursday in hearing coun sel and evidence on the state of public opinion respect ing themselves, and the sinister interest which they no- The painful subject of Irish famine came again be fore the House of Commons on Monday. Mr. S. Crawford on that occasion discharged a duty, of which every humane man must feel the imperative and solemn nature, by pressing upon the attention of Parliament the necessity of some act of prompt and resolute legis lation, in the hope to render less frequent, if not wholly to avert, the recurrence of evils which are as disgrace ful to the upper classes of Ireland, as they are afflicting to the poor. We wonder how men can ever again hold up their heads in places where they are flatly denounced in unmeasured terms as the most heartless beings on the surface of God's earth—the most oppressive in their dealings—the most selfish in their feelings—the most unchristian in their spirit towards their fellow mortal. Yet such is the language in which the great bulk of Irish landlords have been addressed, in writing and in speech, by those who know them ; such, in substance, was the language of Mr. S. Crawford, who blamed Parliament for " allowing session after session to pass without attempting to, enforce from the rapa cious landlords of Ireland, a contribution to the means of relieving the aged, the feeble, and the dis tressed." How does Mr. Crawford describe the rents exacted from the poor of Ireland by their landlords ? " In many parts of Ireland the rents reserved exceeded whole produce of the land." A tolerable sure re ceipt for the starvation of the tenantry. Is it not something more than monstrous that these owners of the soil, who do so much to ensure the misery of their humble neighbours, to whom they ought at all times to extend a cordial and parental protection, do absolutely nothing for their relief ? Is it not a stand ing stigma upon human nature, that landlords who draw thousands of pounds per annum from their es tates, and spend those sums in distant countries, should, when the hour of distress arrives, throw the entire burden of charity upon us ; and then when you propose that they should be compelled by law to perform the duties which are here entailed upon and freely undertaken by English proprietors, they twist, and writhe, and shuffle, and cry mercy, de claring " that Ireland would be ruined by such an in novation, and that the English poor-laws, and the wretchedness which they had caused, ought to prove a warning to Parliament respecting Ireland, rather " than a temptation." Nothing in the shape of im pudence can exceed this mode of talking, as if any distresses connected with English poor laws had been inherent in the laws themselves, or as if the want of them had not produced more suffering in one week to the Irish poor than their maladministration had inflicted on those of England in a twelvemonth. If the land lords are not made to feel that the wretchedness of their tenantry will recoil upon themselves, Parliament grants a bounty on their barbarity, and England, as has been the case in every instance, pays out of her own pocket the claims of the Irish poor upon their own oppressors. It is impossible that such a system should be perpetuated. The public will remark, that Mr. Daniel O'Connell took no part whatever but that of dogged silence in the discussion which had for its ob ject the suggestion of some remedy to the distresses of those miserable beings from whom he wrings his own exorbitant income. We will venture to affirm that there is not a landlord in Ireland who charges the poor so high a " rent" as Mr. Daniel O'Connell for a tenement which never yet produced to any man, wo man, or infant in the land, a single meal of potatoes.— Times. The discussion in the House of Lords last night, relating to the Municipal Corporations Bill (nick named by its authors a Bill of Reform), will obtain the applause and excite the general gratitude of the people of England. The country will retain a deep and lasting sense of obligation to the Earl of Fal mouth, Lord Strangford, the Earl of Winchilsea, Lord Lyndhurst, the Duke of Wellington, and other Peers, who manfully stood forward upon this occasion to arrest the career of bold and profligate injustice, and to stern the torrent of unprincipled calumny—injustice not the less flagrant that it was devised by disloyal Ministers of the Crown, and faithless servants of the people, for their 'own base and selfish purposes—ca lumny not the less pernicious or offensive that it has been promulgated by a body of mercenary Commis to speak evil of their superiors, with the certainty that they may tell lies with impunity, the harvest of slander is not likely to be scanty. The time, however, has at length arrived when the falsehoods collected with so much diligence and zeal, and at so considerable a cost to the nation, will be duly sifted. We know, from the very nature of the inquiry carried on by the Corpora tion Commissioners, that the great bulk of the infor mation which they profess to have given the country, in return for their abundant pay, must, of neces sity, turn out to be false on the first approach of anything like close investigation. Had we ever entertained any doubt of this, the desperate attempt made last night by Lord Melbourne to deprive the traduced corporations of the common justice for which they petitioned, of being heard in their own de fence at the bar, would have entirely removed it. His Lordship pretended, in order to debar the accused par ties of a hearing, that the Bill before the House had no reference to the past conduct of Corporations, but was to be regarded as a great measure of national po licy. Why, then, we beg to ask, were the Commis sioners appointed ? Why did they travel through the country, to collect what they call evidence, and what we call calumnious tattle ? Why has all this mass of slander been printed at the public expense, and to the grievous injury of numerous bodies of respectable men, who can have no legal redress ? Why, we repeat, all this cumbrous, and useless, and pernicious apparatus ? Is Lord Melbourne driven at last to the hard necessity of confessing that the Commission was appointed for the mere purpose of putting certain large sums of the public moifey into the pockets of sonic dozen or two of briefless lawyers, whom it suited the party purposes of the Whigs to patronize.—Morning Post. As we anticipated yesterday, the Municipal Corpo ration Bill was last night read a second time in the House of Lords without opposition. The refractory Peers contented themselves with the presentation of adverse petitions, and a motion that the petitioners be heard through Counsel at the bar of the House against the measure. This was acceded to, on the understanding that the pleadings of the Counsel shall not occupy more than two days, and to-morrow is fixed for going into Committee and the opening of the defence of the corruptionists. It was indeed a foolish request--the delay will be but trifling, and the more discussion the greater must be the exposure of Muni cipal abominations. As Sancho Panza would say, " The more you stir it ;" but the proverb• Is somewhat nasty. It would be astonishing, however, if their Lordships were to suffer ally measure of public good to come into operation without evincing their here ditary hostility to popular rights. It is a strange infa tuation which urges their Lordships to incur still fur ther odium amongst the people by skirmishing on the flanks of a measure against which it would be madness to risk a general engagement, and which, being sup ported by the combined and determined will of a na tion, must overwhelm all opposition. It is a dangerous time to provoke a discussion on the utility of hereditary senators. Any man at all acquainted with the public feeling throughout the empire, will perceive by the con clusion of - his speech, that Lord Melbourne is fully awake to the exigencies of the times, and we trust that his words may prove a salutary warning to the Upper House when he said, " the stability of your Lordships is unmoved, but no set of men in any time can be safe, if they trifle with public justice."—Morning Advertiser.

THE BLOOD.—The red matter of the blood, when carefully separated from the fibrin, consists of innumerable minute but distinct particles, each of which has a definite structure. When carefully examined by the best microscopes, these particles are seen to be circular, flattened, transparent cakes. Their magnitude is differently estimated, from the 2,000 th to the 600th part of an inch ; the most recent obser vations fix them at the 3,000 th part of an inch. In all the mammalia the red particles of the blood are circular; in the three other classes of vertebrated animals, the bird, the reptile, and the fish, their figure is elliptical. —Literary Union.
