Not a glimmer of vitality remains in it, Lor, LYNDHURST'S amendments last night having reduce( it to a mere caput mortuum. Awl of what nature are these amendments? 'Why, of the most arbitrary and exclusive character that it is possible to imagine—a wholesale change, in short, from the democratic to the aristocratic principle ; and therefore,--there is no dis guising the fact—a direct, deliberate insult on the Ministers who proposed, and the Majorities who carried it through the House of Commons ! Their Lordships now tell us, in terms bold and undisguised, that notwithstanding the power secured to us by the Reform Bill ; notwithstanding- our increased intelli gence, and the wholly changed complexion of the times; no ferther improvements shall take place in our insti tutions, except such as they, in their wisdom aril con descension, shall think fi. to approve. " Talk not to us"— .such is the uniform tenor of their speeches—" of the people and their representatives ; doubtless both are respectable enough in their way ; but We care not a jot for either. We—We only—are the Government ; and, come what may, fVe are resolved to carry matters with a high hand, and legislate for the empire after th* good old fashion of our ancestors. Pretty thing, indeed, if the enlightened few are to succumb to the vulgar many ! Are we not Solons by hereditary right ? Solomons by our patent of nobility ? And shall we, thus gifted—thus fashioned of the finest porcelain, give way to creatures of the basest clay ? Never ! We will assert our power to the utmost. We will Yliraicate our Order, even though disorder be the . consequence. We will stretch our prerogative, even though it crack with the straining ; and teach these plebeians what it is to have to do with their patri cian superiors." Such, we repeat, is the language, which if not expressed in so many words, is night after night implied by the proceedings of their Lordships. Alas, how soon will their tone be changed I How soon will the loud shout of the bully sink into the sub dued whisper of the craven ! Yet a few days, and if Ministers stand firm, and the People second them with all their energies, the House of Lords will not only be brought back to a reluctant sense of duty, but even be compelled on its knees to cry Peccavi! We need scarcely enter into the details of Lord LYNDHURST'S measure, for its hateful character lies on the surface, and may be detected at a glance. It Iropoies, not only to preserve a race of Aldermen, -",elleaed for life, but also to allow the present Aldermen to continue in their offices without any fresh election ; by which means, the very pith and spirit of the Bill is wholly lost sight of, and set at nought; and its benefi cial working—if such a mutilated measure could ever work at all—postponed to another generation I Justly, most justly, did Lord BROUGHAM state that an amend ment like this would be fatal to the measure, and add that " it would admit the worst principle of influence, continue the very worst feature of the present system of self-election, and practically render the Bill a mere mockery." Justly, too, did Lord MELBOURNE pro test with equal vehemence against it ; for a more subtle, dangerous amendment, and comprising the elements of more decided mischief to the community, was never yet suggested even in the House of Lords. Yet in sulting as it is—exclusive as it is—fatal as it is, to the measure which it professes to improve —treating the people just as if they were a part and parcel of aristo cratic property—giving them not the slightest credit for common sense, but legislating for them, as if they were so many idiots, unfit to be entrusted with the management of their own, affairs ; fraught as is the amendment with all these odious qualities, it passed the House of Incurables last night by such an overwhelm ing majority, as convinces us that we have nothing left to expect from their justice, their discretion, or their mercy. Henceforth, therefore, we must look to ourselves for safety, and fight their Lordships with the same weapons with which they are fighting us. They =act qu4ifications froth us ; let us exact qualifications from them. They insist that we produce vouchers of respectability and intelligence, before they allow us to discharge even the humblest municipal duties ; let us insist on their producing the same vouchers, ere we allow them to exercise the slightest authority over us. Furthermore, let us insist that on all great questions in which our own interests are con cerned, their Lordships be compelled to hear before they decide ; in other words, that the vote by proxy be done away with—that absurd privilege, by virtue of . which a gambling, jockey-club Peer, qualified only to figure in his own stables, may send up from the betting post at Newmarket the vote which is to decide the desti nies of thousands, perhaps millions of the community There is no need for us to be squeamish on these mat ters. At a crisis like the present, reserve is false deli cacy. Besides, their Lordships use none with us. They tell us plainly they will have their own way, and dare us to say otherwise. Let us, then, take them at their word, for here at least they may be believed ; though we must confess we should be somewhat shy of placing the same implicit reliance on the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S declaration last night—that he was heartily rejoiced that the Reform Bill had relieved him from the embarrassments attendant on his rotten-bo rough influence. If however his Grace be really delighted by such relief, how grateful ought he not to be to the present Ministers, who are now, from the most affectionate motives, doing their best to relieve him also of his Municipal influence ! Being delight ed on the former, he ought to be in exta cies on the present occasion ; and we have no doubt that it is the very delirium of his joy that has made him of late so incoherent and unintelligible in those rhapsodical Philippics, which he call s s p eec h es ! Before we conclude, we cannot omit directing our rea ders'attention to the Duke of CLEVELAND'S remarks on the recent exhibitions in the House of Lords. " I must say," observed his Grace, " that in all my experience I have never seen greater indecorum, greater impropriety, and greater irregularity than I have seen in this House during the last fifteen days." As the testimony of a direct eye-witness, this evidence deserves every atten tion, and the question to which it naturally gives rise is, is a bear-garden the proper place for discussing legislative matters of moment ?—a question which needs no reply. The Corporation Reform Bill is not the only use ful measure which " the Lords " seem determined to reject. The Irish Church Bill, we know, is doomed, and the fate of the Irish Corporation Bill is not doubtful. To these we may now add the Imprison ment for Debt Bill, which passed the Commons on Saturday last. We bad imagined it possible that this Bill might experience a little mercy at the hands of their Lordships. Why we gave way for a moment to so favourable an opinion of our divinely-ordained Legislators, we really know not ; for certainly nothing that we have ever seen, heard, or experienced of them varranted the conclusion, that any measure calculated for the benefit of the people would escape the destruc tive fury of their hereditary oppressors. Mr. ROBINSON, last night, brought under the no tice of the House of Commons the commercial con federation which Prussia has succeeded in establishing among the German States. The Hon. Member seemed to suppose that political motives were at the bottom of the exclusive system of trade adopted by the Northern States of Germany, which, he said, merely availed themselves of the pretence of defending themselves against the effects of our corn laws and timber duties to conceal their political hostility. Lord PALMERSTON stated in reply, that the pro ceedings of Prussia had not escaped the attention of the British Government ; and that there did not ap pear to be any ground for alarm at these proceedings, which related to regulations of trade with which we had no right to interfere, as they had not been forced upon any of the States, but adopted from views of national advantage. Prussia, it would appear from the Noble Lord's state ment, has been rather a loser than a gainer hitherto by the Confederation ; and if any advantage has been de rived from it, the manufacturers of Saxony, not of Prussia, are the parties benefitted. The Ger man Union is, in our opinion, the natural result of our restrictive system of commerce. If we lay heavy duties upon the importation of the produc tions of foreign countries, can we wonder that they retaliate ? Ought we to be surprised or oanded that others mete unto us with the same measure wherewith we have meted unto them ? Surely not. Let us sat an example to other nations of unrestricted commerce, and- we shall have nothing to fear from hostile corn binations. Mr. WARBURTON has brought to light a snug little Tory joh, by which the public has been made to pay for political support to that ncstler in corruptioggi Mr. G. DAWSON. Mr. PEARCE, of Plymout had sent in a tender for a contract to supply thirty thousand cubic feet of stone for the Plymouth breakwater. Another person of the name Of SCOTT, likewise made a tender ; and thou :h his terms were considerably higher than those of Mr. PEARCE, his tender was accepted in preference ! There is a singular instance of foresight connected with the case in question. This . Mr. SCOTT had a sort of prophetic impresssion, that exactly 30,000 chbit feet more would be required, and made another tender for that, before the Admiralty had even so much as drawn up their intended advertisement ! We need not add, that Mr. SCOTT, the zealous partizan of Mr. G. DAWSON got this contract also— without competition !! It fell to Lord ASHLEY'S lot to explain and defend these proceedings last night. Flow he succeeded, the Report of the debate will show. All that he could say was, that some insinuations had been thrown out against Mr. PEARCE'S character, of which, however, Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON and Lord EBRINCTON spoke in very favourable terms. France must coerce or depose her King, if she would preserve even the external forms of liberty. She has no longer a middle course left. Either she must har ness herself to the car of an absolute despot, or she must rise in arms, and, in the majesty of freedom, assert the inviolabity of her chartered liberties. The apostate minions of an apostate Monarch are so drunk with their past success, that they are incapable of be ing influenced by reason or touched by remonstr ance . Force alone can restrain them ; and to force the nation must shortly have recourse, as the only effectual means of preserving the dearest rights of the people. The alternative is dreadful ; but when a great and intelli gent people are constrained to choose between slavery and revolution, their choice requires not a moment's deliberation. France presents one of the most de plorable spectacles of apostacy and corruption, extend ing from the greatest to the most insignificant branches of a Government, to be found in the annals of man kind. Her KING, the majority of her Chambers of Peers and Deputies, the majority of her Magistrates, a large number of citizen soldiery, her police—all have conspired to sacrifice faith, principles, the liberties of France, and the good opinion of mankind, for lar gesses in the shape of power, bribes, and official ap pointments. So extensively has the system of bribery been carried on, that the majority in the Chambers of Peers and Deputies arc as much the menials of the KING as the meanest scullion in the Royal kitchen. The people have been betrayed on all hands. In truth, the two branches of the Legislature on which they relied as the guardians of their independence, would cheerfully, on the bidding of the KING, pass a Bill for abrogating the Charter of 1830. Such a proceeding was even contemplated at Ver sailles, and actually discussed within the walls of the Palace. That it will vet be adopted is confidently hoped by the KING, although he fears that to attempt it at present would be going a step too far. He, ho wev e r , consoles himself for the de lay which may take place, by chuckling over the power by which he can violate its spi rit, while professing an unbounded veneration for its mere form. Being well read in the tyrant's doctrine of State-necessity, he anticipatec no difficulty, TRY< SUN, LONDON', tUtSDAY, ArerttST 18, 1835. with the assistance of his spies, in trumping up some conspiracy, the details of which shall so frighten Frenchmen, as to induce them to charge him with the safety of the " best of Republics." Of course the Consular accession to the Kingly power will not be laid down, when the commonwealth pronounces itself out of danger. Thus does the King of the FRENCH expect to go increasing his power, till he has brought France to such a state of abject subjection, that his personal mandate shall have the same force among his subjects as an Ukase of the Czar of MUS . COVY among the boors of Russia, or a Firman of the Sultan among the worshippers of Allah and the Prophet. But France cannot be enslaved. An absolute des potism can never again exist in that country. The people are universally too enlightened to submit to the yoke which LOUIS PHILLIPPE is preparing for them. To succeed in his schemes of absolutism, the KING must first make the people of France unlearn all that they have learned—an effort of which not even 'Kings are capable. He might strip the body, but there is no such thing as stripping the mind ; and until the mind of France be stripped she cannot be deprived of her liberties. She is too mighty for coercion, and too enlightened for a voluntary submission to the will of a despot. the Report on the new law for abolishing the freedom of the French Press, will be submitted by M. SAUZET, to the Chamber of Deputies this day (Tuesday.) Some amendments in the first project, or draft of the Bill will be recommended ; but the spirit, in all its rancour, will be carefully preserved. Of course it will be readily adopted by the majority, and thus another step will be taken towards the precipice over which the Government will soon precipitate itself. If the few patriots who yet remain in the Chamber of Deputies meditate a signal service to their country, we call upon them to rise in a body, and, after making a solemn protest in the Chamber against the whole con duct of the Government, to quit it, and never again to re-enter its walls, till they witness the restoration of \ political liberty in France. They owe it to themselves and their country, not to assist by their presence at the mockeries about to be enacted in the legislative Cham bers. What have MM. ()DILLON BARRET and HENNEQUIN to do under a roof which covers such detestable apostates as MM. TIIIERS and GuizoT ? Why not leave these wretched tools of tyranny to their fate ? They only stay a judgment which will be the more terrible the longer it is delayed. Ten righteous men would have saved a city from to fires of Heaven ;. but less than three hundred honest Senators would not save France from the horrors of another revolution. The judgment of the Court of Peers pronounced on Thursday last on fifty-nine of the Lyonese prisoners will, when. known throughout France, fill the public mind with detestation of that most corrupt and imbe cile assembly. There was one novelty about this de cision which sounds rather strangely in English ears —namely, that the prisoners are condemned to pay the expenses of the trial. Now all the world knows that this trick was resorted to, for the purpose of escaping the odium of pronouncing their little property—all that remains towards the maintenance of their wives and children—confiscated to the Crown. The Government knew that -to sentence them to bear the expenses of a trial conducted with such profuseness that a Court was erected for the mere purpose of carrying it on, must he equivalent to a co:ifiscation of property. But such a robbery of the prisoners will only accelerate the downfal of the body by whom.it has been sanctioned. If the continued incarceration and exile of the men of Lyons depends solely upon the regal power of the House of Orleans, he could have but few pretensions to a spirit of prophecy who would express a doubt of their liberation long before the period fixed upon by the most corrupt and un constitutional Court of Justice in France. The friendly relations of France with the United States of America are again in danger of being sus pended. The French Ministerial Journals of Sun day complain that Mr. LIVINGSTON, since ' his arrival at Washington, has rather fomented the jealousies of President JACKSON, who is therefore very likely to pay no regard to the resolution of the French Deputies, demanding an apology for his for mer message to Congress. They further state that Mr. LIVINGSTON is much attached to the interests of Great Britain, and that the PRESIDENT has already resolved to send him as Ambassador to the Court of London. The news from Spain, contained in the Paris papers of Sunday, is of the most distressing nature. A spirit of insurrection is rife throughout all the Northern Provinces, the people everywhere calling out for the constitution of 1812. The Madrid Gazelle of the 9th instant announces that Lieutenant-General' Don .JOSE MANSO has. been appointed to succeed LLAUDER in the Captain-Generalship of Catalonia. LLALTDER had made himself so hated by the people that he was constrained to save his life by flying with his family into France. NotTvithstanding these dis turbances the Carlists are losing ground in the North. - York Papers to the 25th ult., have been re• ceived. They bring, advices from Mexico, which ate however, of no political importance. We have received German Papers of the latest dates. A Frankfort Paper contradicts the report circulated by the Augsburgh Gazette, of the discovery of a propa gandist conspiracy against the life of the Czar of RUSSIA. His Imperial Majesty has issued Ukases for raising recruits, at the rate of five for every thou sand souls. We find in these Journals a long but important extract from a letter from Brazil, bearing date the 15th of April, which cannot appear to-day as we are pressed for space.

MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. GLASTONBURY, SOMERSETSHIRE. The address of the inhabitants of Glastonbury to Lord Vis count Melbourne was sent off on Saturday to C. J. Kemys Tynte, Esq., M. P., with a request that the Hon. Member would present it to his Lordship at the earliest opportunity. The address is signed by both the magistrates of the corpora tion (the Mayor and Justice,) by a majority of the capital bur gesses, by a majority of the resident corporation, and by a very large majority of the respectable tradesmen and inhabitants of the town. " To the Right Honourable William Lord Melbourne : " We, the undersigned inhabitants of the ancient corporate town of Glastonbury, in the county of Somerset, consider it our duty to express to your Lordship the high sense we en tertain of your conduct as a Minister of the Crown during a season of unprecedented difficulty. " The honest manliness, the undaunted firmness, the well tempered yet inflexible decision you have manifested through out the honourable and patriotic course you have taken, call for our unqualified admiration." " We feel bound, in gratitude to your Lordship, to offer you the assurance of our undiminished confidence in your adminis tration. " In this assurance we know that we are joined by the loud voice of an enlightened nation ; upon whose support may your Lordship rely, and our cause must triumph over a corrupt and factious Opposition." WIGAN. A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held on the 13th instant, when a petition to the House of Commons was unanimously agreed to. The petition stated that it was the opinion of the meeting that although many Noble Lords are entitled to the esteem and confidence of the country, a ma jority of the House of Peers appear by their conduct, on too many occasions, to be ignorant or regardless of the state of public opinion, and destitute of all sympathy with the feelings and wants of the people. The petition further stated that the meeting had the fullest confidence in the present administration, and were truly grateful to Lord Melbourne and the`rest of his Majesty's Ministers for the zealous and judicious manner in which they supported the great measure of Municipal Reform in its progress through the Commons. The petition concluded by praying the Lower House of Parliament to adopt such effectual means as the constitution has placed in its power to secure the passing of the Bill into a law. The petition, after receiving nearly three thousand signatures, was dispached to Mr. Potter, M. P. for the town, for presentation. A memo rial to Lord Melbourne was also agreed upon, and dispatched to his Lordship. NEWPORT (MONMOUTHSHIRE). On Saturday last a requisition, numerously signed, was presented to: the Worshipful the Mayor, John Owen, Esq., respectfully requesting him to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants, for the purpose of addressing the King, and petitioning the Lords to p as s the Municipal Reform Bill un mutilated ; and he, with his usual promptness, in conformity with the requisition, appointed Tuesday, the 11th, at seven o'clock in the evening, at the Westgate Inn, where a large assemblage of the inhabitants attended. On the motion of the Rev. B. Byron, the Mayor was unanimously voted into chair. The purpose of the meeting was opened in a concise manner by the Chairman, and several spirit-stirring speeches followed. Both the address and petition were proposed, se conded, and carried unanimously, and ferlarded to Lord Mel bourne for presentation. SWANSEA. A petition in favour of the Municipal Corporation Bill has been drawn up by a highly respectable member of the corpo ration of Swansea, and signed by four magistrates, two alder men, twenty burgesses and freemen, and about three hundred of the hankers, merchants, and respectable inhabitants of the town. The petition was forwarded to Lord Melbourne, and presented by his Lordship to the House of Lords, on Tuesday evening last. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, 7'II'ELVE O'CLOCK.

The health of the town continues excellent ; there were 22 sick in the Marine Hospital, chiefly surgical cases of acci dents. The crops of wheat are now harvesting in many parts of the Soueiern States, and they are nearly on an average. Twelve hundred passengers left New York in two boats for ... Albany.

Will the House of Commons submit to this death-blow ? is the general question in the City this morning. It is expected that they will not submit to this degradation.

K 2 IA The effects of the long-continued dry weather are daily assuming an additional seriousness of character, from the total destitution of Water in the pasture lands, and particularly throughout the very extensive district between Bridgewater and Cross, comprehending the moors around Boroughbridge, Glastonbury, and Wells. The flocks and herds are wholly destitute of water, or only supplied at an expense of cost and labour which it is not in the power of all to bestow, and of none to afford, commensurate with the chance of reimbursement.— Bath Chronicle. NEW CHURCHES IN LANCASHIRE.—The new Churches now erecting in this county, south of the river Lune, are those of Trawden, Colne parochial chapelry ; Worston, Burnley parochial chapelry ; Small Bridge, Rochdale parish ; Broughton, Cheetham, and Chorlton-upon-Medlock, Man chester parish; _Kirkdale and Knotty Ash, Walton-on-the Hill parish ; Ashton-upon-Ribble, Preston parish ; and Thornton, Poulton-le-Fylde parish. Nine Churches are proposed for erection in various other places, and seven have been lately re-built, some of which are not opened.—Liverpool Chronicle. On Saturday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, the Rev. W. Blanchard, who, in consequence of mental d er angement, was placed under the care of a keeper at Mount Sori ell Cottage, near Shepherd's Bush, struck his attendant unexpectedly on the head, and having knocked him down, jumped out of the window, and fractured both his thigh-bones in a frightful manner. In our last we noticed that the females of Dunoon bad on Wednesday levelled the. barricade at present in course of erection, by Mr. Ewing, for enclosing the Castle-hill. Sinco then we learn that attempts were made on Thursday and Friday to proceed with the building in presence of Mr. Ewing's law agent, but the Dunoon Ama zons turned out, and, true to their resolution, demolished the works.—Glasgow Chronicle.

The SPEAK a took the Chair a few minutes after twelve o'clock. PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS BILL. The Hou'se went into Committee on this Bill, Mr. PILYME in the Chair. _ _ Mr. TOOKE thought the House would stultify itself if it przsed this Bill through the present stage with the clause relative to the compulsory rate. The Learned Member concluded by moving that the clause be omitted. . . Mr. WARBURTON thought that the House ought to confine its attention to those measure' that were really intended to be passed in the course of the present Session. It was evident the present measure was not intended to be passed during the Session. Mr. BUCKINGHAM trusted that the House would pass the Bill with as much rapidity as possible. Mr. WYSE was in favour of the assessment. His opinion was in favour of such a power being given to Municipal bodies, but as the Bill relative to those Corporate bodies had not yet passed, it was absolutely necessary that the Hon. Member should introduce some machinery, and the only question was whether that machinery was good or not. He thought the objection to that machinery was not well founded, as it provided that at least two-thirds of the rate payers should be in favour of that measure, and es the assessment was limited to six pence in the pound, it was quite obvious that this system could not be open to the same objections as otherswhich would tend to impose heavy burdens upon the people. It was absurd to suppose that the rate-payers of populous towns would be so indifferent to their own. interests as not to attend the public meetings, and object to any improper "or extravagant proposition. Public opinion, the Press, and the conversation of the inhabitants, one with another, would operate as checks upon any lavish or ex travagant expenditure. On these grounds he should certainly give his decided support to the Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it would be much better to allow the Bill to remain over -for further consideration, as there were many objections to be urged against it. He thought the Bill too operose, and the machinery too extensive and complicated, and it would in his (Lord J. Russell's) opinion, be Unwise to entrust it in the hands of persons who were not personally interested in the education of the people. He was of opinion that national educa tion should be always made a public charge.—( Hear, hear.) So long as the education of the people was confided to societies who promoted it by private contributions and voluntary aid, and who were willing to devote their time andlabour to its advancement and maintenance, it was all well ; but if once the public at large were com pelled to contribute, those who were assessed could insist to interfere in the election of the governing body. Those who were not inte rested in the education of the people, and who were liable to act as its conductors, would allow the whole system to languish. He had no objection to allow the Bill to go through the Committee, with the understanding that it would not be pressed further during the present session. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE would be inclined to agree with those Hon. Members who were for throwing out the Bill altogether. He had no idea that the Bill would have passed the second reading, and so far as he was individually concerned he had made up his mind to give it the most decided opposition. Was not legislation upon such matters as the following most absurd. [The Right Honourable Gentleman here read a passage from the Public if Bill, and the mistake excited considerable laugh ter.] The idea of providing tables, chairs, &c., for the use of the public hall was absurd as a piece o f legislation. The Hon. Member perhaps meant well, but it did not sheer as much discrimination as he (Sir J. C. IL) would expect from the maturity of the lion. Member's judgment. He should most de cidedly oppose the Bill. Mr. WARBURTON objected also to the principle of the Bill. lie Was afraid if compulsory taxation was reserted to it would make instruction unpopular among the people. The proposed in • stitutions bore the same respect to scientific institutions as the Es tablished Church bore to other religious establishments. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN was in favour of the measure, and wished to see the Continental system introduced into England.—( Hear. ) He hoped that hereafter, not only with reference to that institu tion, but to all others of a similar kind, they would encourage the principle of local assessment, far the purpose of erecting establish ments of this-kind. He would give to the poorer classes of the cominunity.those opportunities of rational and intellectual enjoy ment, which were now denied them ; and because he thought this Bill would in some measure have this effect, he would support it. Mr. BUCKINGHAM—The British Museum was supported by a compulsory assessment, levied on the country, and so was the Na tional Gallery. The majority had to decide, and the minority were bound to assent to the agreement. But this Bill was not compulsory, —fifty rate payers must first sign the requisition before a meeting can be held, and when that meeting was held two-thirds of the rate payers must give their assent, with the knowledge that they must themselves pay the rate. This Bill would have a strong tendency to raise the moral habits of the working classes. Many men after their working hours were desirous of indulging their social feelings in talking with their neighbours ; this at present they could only, do at the public-house, where they proceeded for this purpose, and net, as he believed, to drink. This Bill would provide places of recreation free from the temptation of strong drink. Ile hoped therefore that the House would permit the Bill to pass through Committee ' • and if, after it should be amended, the sense of the House should be decidedly against the Bill, it might be expressed on the third reading. Mr. EWART had the greatest respect for this Bill, but he must confess that in his opinion its provisions would be better adminis tered by the local Councils under the Municipal Bill.—(hear, hear.) In the principle of the Bill he cordially agreed. Mr. PEASE reminded the Committee that two-thirds of the rate-payers must be brought to the poll, and must express them selves willing to incur the rate. They were the best judges of the habits and morals of the community who were to be served by this Bill, and he, therefore, felt bound to advocate its principle. rhe stop ping of foot paths and Enclosure Bills had deprived the lower classes of many rational amusements, and it was desirable, therefore, that in every way they could they should open to them new sources of innocent and healthful amusement. The assessment under this Bill must be, to all intents and purposes, voluntary; and he knew that in many places the majority of the rate-payers would avail themselves of the opportunity presented by this Bill. The great object of legislation should be prevention, not punishment; they had gone to the extreme on the other side, it was time now to try ptevention. He looked at this measure as one that would be essen tially beneficial to the working classes, and he would, therefore, support it. 'Mr. 'TOOKE would certainly take the sense of the House up on the clause ' unless upon the understanding that the Bill should not be passed. He would have done this earlier, but that the House was in such a state, that if he proceeded to a division, much public business would be impeded, and he certainly expected that this Bill should not be passed. He did not understand what was meant by saying that the rate was not compulsory. It was clearly as compulsory as any other rate or taxation in the district. The rate was to be agreed to, not by two-thirds of the rate payers generally, but of those that attended upon the occasion of the meeting, which was a very different thing. He thought, also, there ought to be some limit, say 201. or 301.—some given amount under which persons should not be rated; it ought not to be levied on the humblest and the lowest classes.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He had heard, with much regret, his Hon. Friend say that he entertained any doubt about the passing of the Munici pal Reform Bill. That Bill would certainly pass—(Loud cheers) — and ultimately in a manner satisfactory to the country.—( Renewed cheering.) He thought that the provisions of this Bill and its principle could be most beneficially carried into effect under the au thority and the auspices of the- Municipal Reform Bill. He en treated 11:s Eon. Friend to consider the expediency of pressing this Bill. Many of its provisions would depend in a great measure upon the provisions of the Bill now in progress through the other House. Some legislation would he thereby saved, and tie hoped his Hon. Friend would sec the expediency under all circumstances, and considering the late period-of the session, of not proceeding further with the labour of this impossible Bill. He had no objection to allowing it to be amended in Committee, upon the understanding that it should not be pressed to the third reading. If the Hon. Member conceded, he should be happy to suggest such alterations and amendments as had occurred to his mind upon a cursory perusal. If, however, he in sisted upon dragging the Bill through the House, he (Mr. Tooke) would flake the sense of the Committee upon this clause, and —though he regretted he had not done so on an earlier day—upon the principle of the Bill. Mr. RUTHVEN was very averse to giving so much power to any individuals as was done by this Bill, and therefore he would oppose it. He thought the Bill one entirely for the rich, and not for the poor. Mechanics' Institutes were much more useful and • convenient. Tea gardens, &c., were not fitted for the habits of this people—they were more manly than the habits of the people of other countries, where the public gardens abounded, Mr. WAKLEY—The mode of legislation taken upon this Bill was very much derogatory to the business of the House. No division had taken . place upon the former stages of the Bill, and now they wero going to divide upon it after wasting much time. He trusted they would not divide now, as he would be sorry that it should go forth to the public that they were unwilling to tax the community for the purpose of instituting public institutions, when they did so for the purpose of building workhouses and b owls. The ignorance of the people was excessive. He remembered during the last election for Devon, he heard some farmers calling out " No Lord John Russell—no Reform—no Popery." The same man, who was a renter of 300 or 400 acres, when asked whether he wished for vote by ballot, answered, " I don't know ; I always goes on horseback." And when asked again, he said, " I don't know ; I always goes round by Dawlish."—(Loud laughter.) Mr. BUCKINGHAM refused to withdraw the Bill, to be made the scape-goat of the House. If they objected to the Bill, let them throw it out. _He would certainly press his motion. Sir E. CODRINGTON hoped the Hon. Member would press it, to see who was against the Bill. Constant agitation upon the sub. ject was the only way in which to secure success. The Gallery was cleared. The Committee divided, when there appeared — For the Clause For the Amendment Majority .. On our re-admission, we found Mr. TOOKE moving that Mr. Pryme do leave the Chair, which was carried without a division. The Bill, consequently, was postponed. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BILL. The House then went into Committee on the above Bill, on the motion of Mr. PEASE. Clauses 3 up to 17 were agreed to without amendment. The other clauses as amended having been agreed to, the Clair man was about to leave the Chair, when Mr. RUTHVEN rose and said—l rise to move the further con sideration of this Report this day six months.—(Laughter.) Mr. PRYME (the Chairman)—The Hon. Member cannot propose that motion now, but he will have an opportunity of doing so, if he thinks proper, when the Report is brought up—that I now leave the Chair. Mr. RUTHVEN—No, no.—(Laughter.) Mr. Pax= then left the Chair, and the SPEAKER resumed his seat. Mr. RUTHVEN—The Hon. Member has said that the question is carried when it is not. I 'do not think it is quite regular to put the question and be making a joke of it that way.—( Order, order.) . (To be continued in a Second Edition.)

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S'. The betting yesterday on the St. Leger was very interesting, B,fit produced some important changes. Preserve came into the Ica r ' c i at '2O to 1, at which price she was backed to win 5,000/. ; 1 8 t ° was then taken in fifties ; and, lastly, 10 to 1 in hundreds , at vbie price she left off. From the quarters in which the odds were tall her going northward would appear no longer doubtful. The Quedeij of Trumps and Mundig were backed to 6001 or 7001. each, but t he not leave off such good favourites as at the commencement of betting.
