The course pursued by Lord MELBOURNE in con ducting the Corporation Reform Bill through the House of Lords has been truly admirable. Having satisfied himself that the Bill, as it came from the Representatives of the people, contained no provisions that were not indispensably necessary to secure a per manent system of good government in our municipal institutions, he has uniformly stood up, with that manly decision which distinguishes his character, against any alterations which tended to impair its efficiency, as well as against those more sweeping alterations and additions which trenched upon its grand principles, and were designed to defeat its object. This noble and commanding attitude, so worthy of a statesman called to the high office of directing the policy of a mighty empire, Lord MELBOURNE has maintained to the last, regardless of the number, the clamour, and the power of his opponents, and conscious that he is supported by a power to which theirs is but as the dust of the balance. In the de bate which took place last night on the bringing up the Report of the Bill, Lord MELBOURNE did not disappoint the hopes-of the nation. He felt what he owed to his country.; he knew what the people expected of him ; and these expectations he has nobly realized. The Noble Lord protested in toto against the amendments introduced into the Bill by their Lord ships, which he declared, so far from being improve ments, were great deteriorations of the measure, and stated his determination to move that they be rejected one and all, in order that the Bill might be sent bag: to the Commons, in the same perfect state in which it left them. The debate that ensued was little more than a repe- ition of the arguments for and against the Bill, which lave been already advanced. Lord ELLENBOROUGH followed Lord MELBOURNE, and entered into a defence of the amendments seriatim, which, had it not come from Lord ELLENBOROUGH, would have been considered 'singularly stupid. Lord HOLLAND thought it worth his while to set the Noble Lord to rights on some of his constitutional doctrines, and wished particularly to know the test proposed to be applied to the Dissenters to distinguish them from members of the Church. To his question, however, he could get no satisfactory answer. Lord DENTAA N - made an excellent speech, and came down with great effect upon Lord LYNDHURST for his apostasy, reminding him of the political opinions he gloried in proclaiming, when they used to go the Northern Circuit together some twenty years ago. Lord LYNDHURST said twenty years was a long time for a man to recollect what political sentiments he might have held. He had, he said, never written any thing on politics, and therefore could not be responsible for holding any particular creed on that subject. Lord ASHBURTON added little to the discussion, except the extraordinary fact, that the Lords were the " hereditary tribunes of the people." Does this new Lord know, that when the Tribunes affixed their VETO, factiously or wickedly, to any law made for the good of the people, they were very unceremo niously and severely punished ? Lord BROUGHAM'S was a most triumphant reply to the objections made against the Bill, and a masterly exposure of the pernicious effects of the provisions en• grafted on it by the Lords. On the division, the numbers were 160 to 89 agains Lord MELBOURNE'S motion. The Great 'Western Railway Bill has not yet passed through the fiery ordeal of opposition in the House of Lords. The religious Peers, as usual, have many scruples about it ; and his Royal Highness of C um- BERLAND is seriously apprehensive that such a boon cannot be granted to the people of England and Ire land, without interfering with the skittle-studies of the Noble and Trospectively distinguished youths who grace the Halls of Eton. The Illustrious Duke de clared that "be felt the greatest affection and attachment" for the city of Bristol ; but that he felt bound to sacrifice feelings so fondly cherished to the senatorial duty of preserving unchanged the play-ground discipline of a boys' school, dear to the memory of so many Noble Lords.! The declaration was in all respects worthy of his Royal Highness's great and comprehensive mind. The skittle-amusements of Lords in miniature, or even of the valets of Lords, are, in the judgment of his Royal Highness, of more importance to the British Empire than the commercial prosperity of " Bristol and Ireland." The opinion is not confined to the illustrious Duke, although some who cordially concur with him may be more cautious in expressing it. Lord KENYON had previously mooted the point : on moving that the Report on the Bill should be taken into consideration that day three months. Lord K4:NyoN is one of those peers to whose string of titles the Biblical Saints of the Order of Vagrants always prefix the antiquated spinster loved epithet of " religious." His Lordship leads the vanguard in all campaigns against Popery and Idolatry, and is the first to trumpet forth the merits of spiritual importations from the " Island of Saints." Yet this most pious—this most " religious" Peer—this puller down of idols in " high plaCes "—this self-nominated guardian of gospel liberty and righteousness—scrupled not to propose the throwing out of a Bill of the utmost importance to the commercialists of Great Britain and Ireland, which has already cost the subscribers up wards of 70,000/. I Not a word did the Noble Lord deign to utter about the trouble, expense, anxiety, loss of time, and blasted prospects of the Company, should the House agree to his motion. His " reli gious" feelings are not so comprehensive, perhaps, as to extend to parliamentary frauds, when screened under the mystical veil of privilege. However we beg to assure the Noble Lord that the people of England entertain very strong opinions respect ing the morality of such conduct, even in the House of Lords. Latterly the Peers have got a trick of throwing out local Bills sent up from the Com naons, either on the motion for bringing up the Re port, or on the motion for the third reading. Th e delay in throwing out such Bills is affected as a mark of respect for the judgment of the Lower House ; but in point of fact it operates as if it were an intentional robbery of the individuals at whose expense the local Bills are brought into Parliament. Frequently the whole of the evidence before the Commons is re-heard before tile Lords' Committees—Counsel must be employed, at an enormous cost, to plead day after day at their Lordships' bar—immense sums are expended in fees, stationery, printing, &c.—agents must be commissioned to watch over•the progress of the Bill—besides the losses incurred by a protracted stay in the most expensive part of the metropolis ; and all this for the idle purpose of enabling their Lord ships to do that with a good grace which they had re solved to do from the commencement—namely, throw out the Bills. Is such conduct as this worthy of a distinct branch of the British Legislature ? Is it religious—just—nay, commonly honest ? We know that their Lordships are privileged to act in this man ner ;, but we protest against such a discharge of sena torial duties as deeply injurious to the morality of the country, and as being in itself iniquitous in the very last degree. The speech of Lord BROUGHAM, deprecating the conduct of those Noble Peers who ride in the Parks while Counsel is being beard at their Lord ships' bar, and then " bloody with spurring, fiery red with haste," come down to the House and vote upon questions of which they know nothing, was admirably calculated to try the temper of the noble assembly in which it was delivered. The sarcasm was the more felt from the bitter conviction of its truth, and from a humiliating certainty that his Lordship was only giving expression to the opinions of the middle and lower classes throughout the British Empire. As to the Bill itself we deem it quite unnecessary to offer another suggestion respecting it. While its pro visions were not understood, and its importance over looked by commercialists, manufacturers, and the country generally, we lost no opportunity of showing the consequenses that would follow from its being passed into a law. Now, its merits and advantages are as well known as its existence both in and oat of Parliament. We know that a number of Peers have leagued together to throw it out on the third reading, and we trust ?he announcement of such an intention will have the effect of defeating it. Such a termination of the labour and expense incurred by the Great Northern Railway Company, at such a stage of the Bill, can only be regarded by the country in the light of a parliamentary confiscation of the property of the Company. Our attention has been directed to a curious Paper, published this morning by EFFINGHAM WILSON, under the title of " The Times Extraordinary," which gives extracts from the political articles of " the leading Journal of Europe," from the year 1828 down to •the November of 1834, to the extent of twenty-four columns ; and is headed by the appropriate mottoes, " Tempora mutantur," and " Should auld acquaint ance be forgot, and never brought to min' ?"—mottoes which our Contemporary can scarcely reflect upon without experiencing the most humiliating sensations, however he may affect a show of indifference, and attempt to bolster up his unparalleled apostacy, by assurance equally unparalleled. There is scarcely one public opinion on men and things that the Ti mes held up, to last November, that it has not since thrown overboard. Its tergiversation has not been partial, but wholesale. It has not contented it se lf with doubting the justice of its former sentiments, but absolutely laughed them all to scorn. Let us see, for instance, how, in the days of its Liberalism, it spoke of Lord BROUGHAM : " Lord Brougham is, ever has been, and ever must be, the head and chief of all the liberal and enlightened party in England. The sun may swerve from its course with more certainty than Lord Brougham from the right lino of exalted duty and pure patriotism." Yet this Statesman thus eulogized—thus we may say, idolized—by our weathercock Contemporary, is now all that is odious .and insignificant in his eyes. He is no longer the enlightened Senator, but the flashy, itinerant Demagogue, self-willed, half-witted, and scarcely fit to be trusted with the conduct of his own private affairs. How is this ? Has his Lord- ship changed ? No ; but the Times has apostatized, and of course can no longer see virtues in any States man who does not pursue the same tortuous course as itself. Again, let us hear our Contemporary on the subject of Corporation Reform : _ " A correspondent of our's stated yesterday the existence of a rumour, that it is the intention of the Parliamentary Committee to recommend the House of Commons, that the members of self-elected close bodies shall be suffered to die off before the reform of those bodies shall be brought into operation, on the pretext—for it is no more—of the said members having 'vested interest' in their offices. If such be the case, it is safe to predict that tho,day will never arri ve for the reform of such Corporations. If the individual mem bers of a corrupt Corporation are to retain all their ancient powers during life, it is clear that they may continue to MlS govern the Corporation, to misapply its funds, and so to pervert its original and lawful purposes, that the reform, when it does come, will have nothing left to act upon, and may as well not have been passed into an Act of Parliament at all." This was said in 1833, but what is our Contemporary's course of conduct in 1835 ? 'Why, to advocate the spirit, if not in so many express words, at least by implication, of all Lord LYNDHURST'S municipal amendments, which have for their immediate object to destroy the principle, for which our Contemporary formerly so fiercely contended ! Of the Conservative party he thus writes, in 1832:--- " We mentioned in a recent number, that one, and a fre quent weapon of the Conservative party, was falsehood—false hood positive, direct, and broad." Yet this same Conservative party, which, if changed from what it w as i n 1832, i s c h ange d on ly for the worse, is now th e o bj ec t o f our C on t em p ora ry's daily adulation I Its j e t bl ac k i s t urne d i n t o s p o tless white in his estimation. He now looks to it for the salva tion of the Empire, notwithstanding we have his own solemn assurance, founded on a long experience of its character, that one of its most frequent weapons is " falsehood, positiTe, direct and broad." We have no doubt by the way that it is the frequent use of this weapon which endears the Conservatives so much to our Contemporary. He too has become false.

Let us now hear him on the ticklish sub ject of the I-louse of Lords. He is speaking of it in the year 1833 : " The House of Lords may be an independent body—we do not, but especially we dare not, say otherwise. We will, how ever, venture to say, that the history of the world does not present any instance of an assembly, to which high and im portant functions are intrusted, exhibiting so little foresight and so Uric tact. Alas ! for the infatuating effects of party spirit." Yet, notwithstanding this decided expression of its incompetency ; notwithstanding this abhorrence of its party-spirit ; notwithstanding this conviction that the history of the world can furnish no parallel to such a thick-skulled assembly of Le gislators ;notwithstanding all these serious and unanswerable objections, our Contemporary now discovers that the House of Lords is all that it should be, the mainstay of the nation, its sole hope and support in the present disastrous crisis I Though its parade of party spirit is more unequivocal than ever ; though its hatred of Reform is more envenomed than ever ; though its proceedings are daily assuming a more decided character than ever—the Times can see, feel, understand nothing of all this. The Lords are a most immaculate assembly, not because they have come rounl to Reform, but because he has declared against it. He is the apostate, not they. They, if they have no other merit, are at least consistent ; but he is a traitor to the cause of truth—of justice—of com mon-sense—of honour ; and with such a traitor, no terms should be kept. We regret . to use this language ; but what other can, or ought to be used, when we see a Journal once conspicuous for the impassioned way in which it advocated the cause of the people, now defending their oppressors with equal zeal; and bringing the same eloquence, the same heartiness, the same energy to bear against them, that they formerly brought to bear in their favour. Our Contemporary has often talked of his being able to in fluence the opinion of three fourths of the people. Considerably more Allan - three fourths, we sus pect, have y now declared against his apostacy, and resolved never- again to give credit to a syllable he utters. Will a Conservative circul tion repay him for the loss of a popular one ? Will the favour of a party recompense him for the disgust of a nation ? We suspect not. But we have not yet done with dtr Conten - iporary. The following is the way in which he speaks of the working of the Reform Bill by the Tories, and the way in which the people ought to act, should the faction strive to neutralize its effects : " Our countrymen may be assured, that if they content themselves with celebrating, the triumph of the Reform Bill as a bare historical fact, and forget it as the in troduction to a wide field of urgent and bounden duty, they will have gained nothing; by the Bill, or by all the Incalculable toil and exertion which it has cost them, but the shame of discovering AFTER TWO OR THREE YEARS THAT THE CONSERVATIVES HAVE STEPPED IN TO RAVISH FROM THEM THE FRUIT OR THEIR LABOUR. If reform and good govern ment candidates now hang back, or are not supported by those new constituents who owe their existence to the public virtue of the preceding electors, spurring on the representatives of the United Kingdom—if there be no gratitude in the young pos sessors of the franchise, to their brethren who eagerly shared the constitution with them, and no consistency in the voters under the old system to prosecute their patriotic work—if the reform of our institutions, though framed by liberal statesmen, be left to Tories to finish, to act upon and pervert—why then do we allege that such rofom is but a roll of parchment, ink, and bees'.wax—that freedom so obtained is a practical mockery— that the blind and foolish confidence derived from such unsub• stantial forms, is infinitely more perilous than our former state of discontent with the corrupt concord which reigned between the principle and action of the government, and that the le thargy into which the nation will now have, sunk, is a far more fatal symptom than the acute and irritating consciousness which before afflicted it." The people are now availing themselves of our Cote m porary's advice ; they are now striving their utmost to prevent the Conservatives from " stepping in to ravish from them the fruit of their labor:;" yet where is he the while ? Why is he not standing forward among the people, to urge them to persevere in those counsels which he himself was first to recommend ? They are now only acting on his own recommenda tion. Why, then, is he not among them ? Alas I he is engaged, and cannot come. His interests are no longer theirs. He has lent himself to a fac tious Oligarchy ; he is bound to them hand and foot, and cannot speak but as they direct. Is not this a lamentable condition for the " Thun derer "to be reduced to ? But he will be re duced to a worse plight yet; for, having for ever for feited the confidence of the Reformers, he will soon have nothing left for it but to throw himself into the arms of the red-hot Conservatives. A pamphlet has been forwarded to us from Sheffield entitled, " The Time is Come," addressed by a Mr. CHARLES YOUNG to our most gracious SOVEREIGN, for the purpose of enlightening his MAJESTY as to the opinions which the people entertain respecting an hereditary Peerage. Whatever may be the opinions of the people upon this subject, Mr. YOUNG is himself persuaded that the instant is at hand when hereditary legislative Peers " shall be no longer." As to mere titles he does not care the value of a gooseberry about • them : lie will allow the Lords to enjoy as many of them as Kings have the power of conferring ; but power as it flows from, so would he make it be held by a tenure derived immediately from the people, and exercised for their benefit. His sentiments are less exceptionable than his manner of giving expres sion to them. For our own part we are convinced that the country seriously meditates the abolition of our hereditary House of Lords ; and we do be lieve, that in the event of a collision between the Houses, the privileges of hereditary Le gislative functions will perish in the first shock. We have no wish to make use of ex pressions personally offensive to their Lordships ; but there is no disguising the fact, that the country would get rid of them before the setting of to-mor row's sun, if it could do so without bloodshed or violence. The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received. They are filled with the debates on the law for revoking the Article of the Charter which guarantees the liberty of the Press. The principal Speakers were M. M. DUP IN and THIERS, the latter for, the former against, the law. The following are extracts from the Journals PARIS, AuG. 26.—We have received by express news from Madrid of the lath. The Gazette of Madrid contains the following 46 PALMA. " Sir,—On the 24th, in the morning, a French squadron, consisting of the Nestor, of 82 guns ; the Duquesne, of 90 ; the Triton, of 82 ; the Ville de Marseille, and the Sy/ph, of 40, arrived in this pea from Algiers. The squadron sailed from Algiers on the 1st!: it brings 3,020 men of the foreign legion, intended for Tarragona. They will perform quaran tine in our port. Our Consul General, M. Zugasti, has arrived with the di v i s i on . He tells me that the difficulty of entering 11 . 1ahon had induced the Admiral commanding the naval divi sion at Algiers to choose the bay of Palma for performing qnarantine, on account of its extent. He added that another division, of four frigates, was to sail four days after his departure with two battalions of the Foreign Legion. " To his Excellency, the Minister for the Marine." " A letter from Hendaye of the 19th August, says— ' Orders have been given at Irun to prohibit all communica tion between Spain and France. Every Frenchman or Spa niard who shall pass the frontier will be fired at. It is said that this order was posted up at Irun the day before yesterday. It is issued by Don Carlos. It must be supposed that the au thorities of this frontier have acquainted our Government with a circumstance of so much importance. " Yesterday morning a Crrlist chief at Irun transmitted to the French Commandant at Bohebia, a letter which the latter would not open, but forwarded to General Harispe. The con tents of this dispatch, are, therefore, riot known. " In imitation of the Carlists, the French Generals have also began this morning to erect some defensive works in the Lazaretto. Everything points to war. " Moat of the villages of Arragon are rising en masse, and on the 17th 6,000 Arragonese were marching to the aid of Huesca. Thee arrived too late, and proceeded rapidly to Barbastin. All the people of Arragon arc invited to rise ; un haprily there is a want of arms.

This vessel arrived safe at Singapore, the place of its destina tion—it was not without reason that some apprehensions were felt for its fate—after it had been seven months at sea; its re turn is daily expected. We are also happy to announce, that the john Key is expected from the Havannah. The loss of these two ships would have been a serious blow to the mer chants of Antwerp. VIENNA, AUG. 17.—Letters from Florence announce that several cases of cholera have manifested themselves there. A number of families of distinction have quitted the city, and most foreigners have left Tuscany. In spite of the efforts of the authorities and clergy to quell the alarm, a panic has taken possession of the Italian nation. It is justly apprehended that the disease may become more violent in Italy than in other parts where it has existed. Fear especially contributes to in creasing its intensity, and the great quantity of fruit which the people eat adds to its virulence. The French Journals dwell much upon the presence of the Duchess de Berry at Cham bery, and endeavour to establish a connection between that as sertion and reports spread at Paris. Yet the Duchess is at lschel, where she will continue to the end of the season, when her Royal Highness will go and fix her residence at Gratz. The Grand Duke Michael of Russia must have arrived yes terday at Linz on his way to Ischel. Count J.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the Loans' last night several Bills were brought from the Commons and read a third time. Their Lordships then went into Committee upon the Tithes on Turnips Bill, the Tithes Recovery Bill, and the Sheriffs' Accounts ( Ireland) Bill. A Bastardy Return was ordered on the motion of Lord RADNOR. The Hereditary Revenues ( Scotland) Bill was read. a third time and passed. The Report (which was in favour of the Bill) of the Committee on the Great Western Railroad, was brought up, and Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved that it be re ceived. Lord KENTON moved that it be taken into further consideration that day three months. A long debate ensued, and the House divided, when there appeared, for the reception of the report, 50 ; for the amendment, 28. After Lord ABER DEEN had given notice of a motion for to-day relative to the Church of Scotland Commission, Lord MELBOURNE moved that the Report of the Municipal Corporations Bill be re 'ceived. His Lordship declared his dissent from the altera tions made in the Bill—alterations which he felt assured would not be adopted by the other House. " I shall move," said his Lordship then, " amongst others the omission of the clause saving the rights of freemen—a clause,' in my judgment, pe culiarly objectionable. I shall also move to omit the clause recognising the rights of Aldermen for life, and I shall also endeavour to replace the qualification clause for the council in the same state as when it was brought up from the Commons." A very long debate ensued. On the vital clause which (as amended by the Lords in opposition) gives a perpetuity to the old corrupt aldermen, Ministers were defeated by a large majority of our hereditary magnates. The Repcii-t was then re ceived, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-day. We would draw attention to the speech of the Lord Chief Justice, at also to that of Lord BROUGHAM, who spoke some truths of so unpalatable a nature as to occasion considerable excite ment amongst their Lordships. The outbreak of Lord WIN CHILSEA on the occasion is admirably characteristic and highly amusing. In the ComNtoNs' the Factories Bill, and the Abolition of Oaths Bill (of which an abstract is given in another column) was read a second time. The AT TORNEY-GENERIL gave notice that he would this day move for a Committee to inspect the Lords' Journal, to ageertain " what had become" of the Wills and Executors 13111 sent to their Lordships some months ago. The Glass Duties Bill and the Dublin Police Bill were read a third time, and passed. The Civil Courts ( Ireland) Bill was re-committed and ordered to be printed. The Stamp and Assessed Taxes Bill went through Commit tees, and the Report was metered to be received this day. Mr. BARING incidentally said some compensation to the Col lectors, whose emoluments had been diminished by the reduc tion of the Assessed Taxes, was in contemplation. Mr. WiLns deferred his motion regarding the practical grievances of the Dissenters till the next Session ; and, in doing so, he said, that the Dissenters had consented to postpone their claims, in ol , der not to impede proceedings on the Irish Church Bill and the Municipal Corporations Bill; but that they were now filled with vexation to find that the Lords, by their resistance of these two important measures, had frustrated their reasonable hopes. Sir E. CODRINGTON'S motion relative to the deprivation of the half-pay of naval officers, was deferred, owing to the absence of the Secretary of the Admiralty. The Improvement of the Shannon Bill gas then read a first time ; and after fixing Monday for the presentation of petitions on the Corporation Reform Bill, the House adjourned. MILITIA ESTIMATES.—The Report of the Se lect Committee of the House of Commons appointed to prepare the Militia Estimates has just been printed, by which it appears that the sum expended in that department during the year, ended March last, was 230,2931. 14s. 6d., and that the estimated charge for the current year, amounts to 218,861/. 3s. 4d., being a diminution of 11,4321. I Is. 2d. To this must be added the sum of 6,81,11. 11s. Bd., which, in former years, was included in the Regular Army Esti. mates, but lizs been transferred this year into the Militia Es timates, and makes the total reduction 18,2471 . 2s. 10d. Yesterday, Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. Anderson, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Vousley, Mr. Davidge, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Farebrother, Mr. Spillman, &c., had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, "respectinf , a clause in the Spirit Licenses Bill, which empowers the Commissioners of the Excise to grant licenses for the sale of beer, wine, spirits, &c., to all theatres whether patent or licensed by the Lord Chamberlain. The deputation was courteously received by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, after an ample dis cussion of the matters, promised to give the subject his best attention, and to forward his decision to the memorialists. The clause referred to in the Bill in question is so utterly ri diculous—so uncalled for by any portion of the public—so de structive of the property of those whose houses have been spe cially licensed for the accommodation of the visitors of thea tres ; and, finally, so glaringly ruinous to the theatres them selves, that the wonder is, who could have dreamed of the in troduction of a clause, the substance of which only requires to be known, in order to be scouted by all lovers of the drama, and all who are regardful of intellectual amusement and de corous conduct. —Morning Advertizcr. On Wednesday a lecture was delivered in the theatre of the London Mechanics' Institution, on practical chemistry, by Dr. Reid, of Edinburgh, who also gave a lecture of this description on the previous Monday, on which occasion it was the intention of Lord Brougham to be present, but in conse quence of the very great press of matter in the House of Lords on that evening he was prevented. The Chairman, Dr. Birk beck, on taking his seat, stated that he had that instant re ceived a note from his Lordship, expressing his regret at being absent, and that he would certainly attend on Wednesday even ing, which he accordingly did. The lecturer, Dr. Reid, began by describing the mode adopted for teaching this science, showing what a little expense is required for procuring the apparatus, and urging the study of it in every institution. He illustrated his lecture with numerous experiments show ing the mode of testing the metals, and how necessary it is for every class of society to be acquainted with this science. His Lordship appeared to take great interest in the lecture, which concluded at 10 o'clock. The theatre was crowded to excess by the members, and so great was the anxiety evinced to get a sight of his Lordship, that very few but members could obtain admission. It was generally ex pected thrdughout the theatre that his Lordship would ad dress the meeting, as he had done on a previous occasion, but in that it was disappointed, and after the Chairman, Basil Montague, Esq., had given out the business of the following Friday, his Lordship, who was much cheered, bowed res pectfully, and withdrew. The meeting then dispersed, at about 5 minutes after 10 o'clock, highly gratified with the evening's entertainment. BRISTOL. The following petition, signed by 13,117 persons, has just been transmitted to Lord John Russell, for presentation:— " To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. " The Humble Pctition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the City of Bristol, " Sheweth,—That your petitioners have seen, with consi de:•ablc gratification, a Bill passed through your Honourable House, for restoring the ancient privileges of the corporate towns of England, by placing the Election of municipal officers in the bands of the resident householders of the borough. " That this important concession to the advanced intelli gence of the age—a concession founded no less in expediency than in justice has been mutilated by a majority in the Upper House of Parliament, hostile to the wishes and interests of the people ; and mutilated in such a manner, as to lead your peti tioners to the conclusion, that their Lordships have, without venturing to take the holiest course of rejecting a measure re pugnant to them, because favourable to the principle of popular representation, sought either to provoke the House of Com mons to reject the measure entirely, or else to charge it with provisions calculated practically to perpetuate the obnoxious principle of self-election for life,—to make the workings of Vie Bill impossible, and thus to bring discredit upon Corporate Reform. " That your petitioners conceive the Bill, so altered, to be insulting to the people, and mischievous to the country; vi your petitioners therefore pray, unless the Bill be restores sub stantially to the state in which it passed your Honourable House, that you will reject it entirely, as calculated to retard the passing of a just and satisfactory measure."

Montreal Papers to the iith August, Quebec to the 2d An3n.st, Jamaica to the 24th July, and Guiana to the 14th July; have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal papers state, that a general meeting of the Quebeo Association was held on Friday evening, to take into consideration the expediency of addressing his Excellency the Governor-in- Chief, on the termination of his administration of the affairs of the Province, and a number of resolutions were passed. In the sth Article, they express their regret at the untimely recal of his Ex cellency, at the period when the result of the measures adopted by him cannot as yet be ascertained, thus depriving the Government of the advantages to be derived from his Excellency's experience, and conveying to the people of the British and Irish origin in this province the impression, that their best interests arc about being sacrificed to the misrepresentation of a few discontented and am bitious persons. We regret to state that the crops, which till now looked remark ably well, and promised an abundant harvest, have all at once changed their appearance. The evil is the far greater, that it ap pears to be general. MONTRYAL, AUGUST s.—The citizens of Montreal will long remember the departure of his Excellency Lord Aylmer from this city on Friday night. The cortege, with great enthusiasm, at 11 o'clock at night, accompanied him by torch-light and cheers to the place of embarkation.

A few cascs of fever had occurred, but by their removal to the race course of Spanish Town, the fever disappeared. DISCOSTENT AT ST. DAVID s.—The spirit which prevails at St, Davids, we are sorry to say, extends to Trelawney ; and we have just learnt that the 84th regiment have marched yesterday for St. Davids. The Guiana papers state, by Private accounts from Trinidad the failure of the sugar crops in that island. THE FUNDS. All eyes are fixed towards the operations of both Horses o' Tar lia vent this evening; and it is generany expected that Ministers Sri l give some kind of explanation in respect to the measure, they mean to adopt with the Irish Church and Corporation Bills.

The return of Sergeant Woulfe (which, we are happy to say, is beyond the possibility of doubt) is, at this crisi, of the highest importance to Ireland. — Tipperary Free Press. s The Prince Royal of Bavaria is reported to be la bouring under a great depression of spirits.
