A - very spacious marquee was erected in the Archery-ground, which was fitted up and decorated for the occasion. A Gal. lery was erected opposite the chair, for the at;',OrAA-Oitti of the ladies, and it was completely CroOnied Vigiiors. Among the numerous Mitt - 1114 were Sir John Cam Hob house, Metas. O'Connell, Shell; IL E. Bulwer, D. W. Harvey, Lytton Bulwer, J. • Hume, Esqrs., Sir Sa mttel Whalley, &c. &c. Mr. Kensett pre4iviod llitt oc casion. After the cloth had been removed, the CHAIRNIAN proposed the health of the King, which was received with• the gtOtttest enthusiasm, and drunk with the usual honantt, Mr. 11. Vi'lLsoN congratulated the meeting upon the man. ner in which the invitation to the householders had been re sponded to by them upon the present occasion. He com mented upon the principles of the Veerles Act, and compared them with those of the Municipal Corporation llefato hill. He adverted to the mutilation it bad already aufered, in the House of Lords ; and ccncluded by proposing—" The health of his Majesty's Ministers, and wisdom to plan the reform of our ancient institutions, and energy and firmness, to enforce them." Sir .1. CAM Honnouse, M. P. ) rtist tO address the meeting, amidst the 'warmest expressions of approbation. In acknow ledging the toast, he said that the Chairman and the ptoposer had spoken of his Majesty's Ministers in Inch tiatteriiiB tams, that it would be a satire upon them all it they did not, to the utmost extent, deserve the eulogy, —t Cheers.) If the course which the nad pimi_neil Was so acceptable to the people of Eng,l:4nd, and to that meeting, he would end e avou r to show ';,em that his Majesty's Ministers well knew the tenure by they held office.—( Cheers.) The object of the pre sent meeting was to celebrate the passing of the Vestries Act with which his name was Connected. He was happy to see such a striking effect of the right working of that Act as the present, The forebodings of those who had said that the people of England were not to be intrusted with the manage ment of their public affairs had been proved to be ill founded. The settlement of that question had involved a great struggle of principle, and the result had given a great moral lesson to the whole empire. He was well aware that the only Govern ment which could now hope for duration, was one whose ob ject it was to promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number—(Cheers)—none other would now be accepted by an enlightened community. The fulfilment of those pro mises which had been made by the Ministry to which lie belonged, on accepting office, had at least been attempted by them. Of the five great measures which they advo cated, and to which they were pledged, three had been brought forward, and two had passed the House of Com mons. In the progress of one of those measures (the Muni cipal Corporation Bill) through the House, the energy re commended by the toast had been displayed. Had Ministers given way in the principles of the Bill at all ?—(Cries of " No, no ?") Had they given way in fulfilling an act of justice t England and Wales, which had already been rendered to Scotland? Had they shrunk from rendering justice to in jured Ireland? The House of the people of England had passed triumphantly that great remedial measure, the Reform of the Church of Ireland, which it would be fortunate if it were carried into effect in the House of Lords. If not, would it be the fault of the Ministry ?—Cheers.) He should be guilty of injustice to himself and to his colleagues if he for got to mention the discreet and generous support which they had received from the House of Commons, by which they had been enabled to do some good, and by means of which they still hoped to perform more. Allusion had been made as to what ought to be the duty of the Minister of the Crown with respect to the Municipal Reform Bill. He would not shrink from the question ; but at present he was ignorant of the form in which the Bill would be returned to the House of Commons. That Bill now already rather resembled the the Irishman's child who was changed at nurse.—(Laughter.) He trusted, that whatever course of conduct they might pur. sue, whether the Bill in its altered state should be entirely re jected, or adopted upon the grounds of expediency, that they might be at all events enabled to ensure the confidence of the people. Even should the latter event occur, there could be no mistaking it for a final measure. The Right Hon. Gen tleman concluded his address amidst the strongest expressions of the confidence of the meeting. Mr. POTTER proposed the health of Lord Brougham, which was drunk with rapturous applause. The next toast was proposed by Mr. BARKER, " Ireland —sympathy for her wrongs, and a determination to redress them--D. O'Connell, Esq., and R. L. Shiel, Esq." Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and after the expressions of ap plause had subsided, addressed the meeting. He observed that the meeting had pledged itself to use all exertion to ob. tain a redress of the wrongs under which his country had so long laboured. It was a soul-stirring scene to him, to see so many Englishmen so warmly express such a determination. He did not now despair for his country, as he felt there was a certainty of redress. But, in saying certainty, was he not mistaken ? Were the people able to obtain the redress of their own grievances ? He answered—" Yes ;" for they were making common cause together. It was now 700 years since the people had possessed a determined Government. From the determination evinced by the present Government, large hopes might be drawn • but he regretted t o s a y that the Go vernment was thwarted its exertions to promote the public welfare, and that, too, by one portion of th e L eg i s l a t ure which had placed itself between the people and the redress of their grievances. But he called upon that meeting to say whether they would allow a body, of which a considerable number of members were State paupers, who were interested in the preservation of abuses, to interfere between them and the redress of their grievances ?—(Hear, hear.) He respected the privileges of the House of .Lords, but he thought that a great political change was necessary to bring the House of Peers into conformity with the feelings and opinions of the people. Mr. SLIM returned thanks for the honour done him. Mr. ROBERTSON proposed—" The health of the Members for the Borough." Sir S. WHALLEY and Mr. BULWER returned thanks. " Mr. Hume and the Reformers of Middlesex,'" - "he La. dies," " The Health of the Chairman," and several other toasts were then drank. Mr. Hume, Mr. E. L. Bulwer, and Mr. D. W. Harvery delivered some animated speeches, after which the party broke up. THE BRAZILS.-SLAVE TRADE. FRANKFORT, AUG. 12.—A private letter from Brazil (of the middle of April this year) contains the following statements, which have not been made known through any other channel. " The public here at Rio, is, indeed almost exclusively en gaged about the election of a Regent ; but there is no want of other matters that deserves at least equal attention. Among these a lately repeated insurrection of the Negroes at Bahia is the most important ; for. though it was quelled by the aid of the crew of a Brazilian frigate, which happened to be in the har bour, and by that of the Portuguese merchants and their clerks, facts bar e c ome t o light on the occasion which must excite the 1 : - .eateit apprehensi o n f or th e f u t ure . The worst is that.alm.4st all the Neg roes i n t h at prov i nce, w h ose num b er in Bahia alone is 70,000, an d i n t h e p l antat i ons i n t h e interior 200,000, all belong to the same tribe, speak the same language, - ..nd are almost all of the Mahometan religion. In the investi gations which have been set on foot in consequence of •this in surrection, the Protocol of a secret society has been discovered, which holds its meetings in Bahia. It was written in the Arabic language, which is known to a very great number of Negroes in Bahia. One of the members took the part of the Whites, and wished them to be spared ; but yet he was obliged to subscribe the resolutions of his blood-thirsty com panions. It was affirmed that there exists among the Negroes a general c o nspi rac y, w hi c h exten d s even t o Africa; and for this reason the most vigilant superintendence (as far as is possible in this country) was exercised, both over the Slaves and the free Negroes. With this view, the guarantees of personal liberty given by the Constitution were suspended, in order that the authorities might be able at all times to pro ceed to the necessary investigations and arrests. Besides this, the Constitutional Regency had confirmed before-hand all the sentences of death that should be passed either in Bahia or in Campos, where a similar conspiracy was disco vered in time to defeat it. " In Rio itself there is much less ground for alarm, because the Negroes there belong to several different tribes, which hate each other, and because the number of the Whites is in proportion, much larger than in any other place. It may be sides be assumed that two or three thousand Whites are suffi cient to keep ten thousand Negroes in order. The Negroes in the country are, it must be owned, far more dangerous than those imported from Africa ; but the numerical dis proportion between the Whites and the Blacks, is daily be coming more alarming, as the Slave Trade actually continues without interruption. In defiance of all the treaties, about 40.000 Negt* s are annually imported into Brazi. Two hun dred ships are engaged in this trade, and each of them makes two voyages in a year to the African coast. In the interior of Africa a negro costs five dollars ; when brought to the coast he is sold to the slave• ship for thirty dollars; on the coast of Brazil the captain receives 80 dollars for him, and the planter pays from 150 to 200 dollars; which is on the whole a lower price than when the slave trade was quite free. The number of English cruisers on the African coast is not sufficient to pre vent the trade, and the Brazilian naval officers do not venture to capture a slave-ship, because the capitalists who carry on that atrocious trade (they arc for the most part Portuguese, North Americans, and Englishmen) have such powerful in fluence over the Brazilian Government, that a naval officer who should do his duty in this respect would, if not run the risk of his life, at least be sure of being immediately dismissed from the service under some frivolous pretext." These accounts confirm the opinion of a man thoroughly acquainted with everything relative to this subject, one of the most eminent of recent Portuguese historical and political writers, which he has expressed in his work on the Portuguese colonies. This fatal traffic is far too deeply rooted in the cus toms and wants as well of the African chiefs as of the South American planters, and, at the same time, is far too profitable to those who engage in it, for the efforts of the Eng lish Government even (or at least for a long series of years) to put an end to the slave-trade merely by negative means.

Thk /grdS.rnacie great strides last fright in the further demotitioli et i 1.4 Wltinieipaf geforro Bill, all the clauses of which (with the exception of those' posipmicd, and the schedules) have gone through the Committee. When the Bill as amended is printed, it will hardly have one feature in cerniUl kith that sent up from the Commons. In an early part of the eveintig Melbourne declared that " so much bad been done to render 1.'116 Dill inefficient, that he would not make any strenuous opposition 4 . 4 the tnnend meet then under discussion (for continuing the presedt tices oftped66lo t hetreetglia),. nor would he to any amend ment that migh liereaffee be toade, seeing that it was al most useless. But. when these amencht"ts were adopted, it would then become a matter of serious eargAde - ration, whether he the circumstances, it would be well to go on further with the iticaanre." One of the most mischievdtis of the amendments carried last night was that proposed by Lord Ellcnborough, for dividing all towns hav ing 0,000 inhabitants, and fewer than 9,000, into twei wards, from 9,000 to 15,000 into three wards, and front 15,000 to 18,000 into four words, and so on in the same proportion ; and that those having between 55,000 and 80000 should be divided into eight wards. The ob ject of this minute division may be understood without much difficulty, eepseillly when taken in conjunction with the giving to the Magistrates of the districts adjoining the boroughs (in four cases out Of five rank Tories) the power of dividing the towns into wards. Indeed, Lord Win chilsea did not scruple to say, that as no one could doubt bat the Bill was brought forward for party purposes, to de press one party and raise another (the party raised being the nation, with the exception of the Tory Oligarchs and their creatures !), the amendment would counteract that effect. We will not fatigue our readers by a minute notice of the various CO tcrations made last night. It would be a libel on the Commons {osuppose that they will sane tiori alterations which have compie:.?v changed. the cha racter of the ttiedffare. The Lords h ave u.7"n feeling the pulse of the nation gild of the Commons. ,pv have, as usual, been labouring . Wider strange infatua::"n with regard to the indifference of the entry to good Government. Intleed, what can be expected from men who • have no fellowship with me people, and are the 'dupess of every silly tale that is told than by their creatures. For instance, what could be more silly that! the statement of the Earl of Galloway last night, that Mr. Dotistlas, lately a candidate for the repreSetitation of Glasgow, had made se ditious speeches with the red caV df liberty on his head ? Mr. Douglas was suddenly called on to §tp*mk from an inn window at a small town in the South of Scotland, in the month of January, and he happened to have his travelling cap on. No man but one ignorant mad utterly unacquainted with the character and habits of the people of Scotland, would have swallowed such an absurdity. Lord Galloway may be taken for a sample of his order. But the L'o'rrls will soon be undeceived. However, we will not anticipatd the proceedings of the eventful days on which we are about to enter. We leave the Lords to the Representatives of the Empire, in full conAtleitce that they and the Ministers will do their duty.—Morning Chroitiele, Our columns might be perfectly inundated this day, as well as during the last ten days, with reports of Municipal Reform meetings, which crowd in upon us from all parts of the country. - In every instance the people have expressed their determination to have nothing to do with the amend ments of the Lords ; and call on the House of Commons to reject them. Our space precludes these reports F hut some remarks made by Mr. J. Shaw Stewart, at the great Edin burgh meeting last Thursday, are worthy of being struck out, by extract into more prominent relief than the great and uniform inscription of the public will, which like the handwriting on the wall at Babylon announces the weighing .in the balance of " absurd pomp," and the passing away of the reign of privileged injustice. Mr. Stewart expressed himself as follows ; " He would say baldly, and he thought it was impossible to deny it, that the motive which bad caused the majority of the House of Peers to adopt the extreme course they bad taken with regard to this Bill was one which scarcely could be avowed, and which certainly could not stand the test of Con stitutional investigation, One great objection to this Bill was, the effect it would give to the freer scope and louder expres sion of liberal opinions in the country. It was not denied that it would give strength to the Liberal party, the defeat and sub version of which was one of their dearest objects. This ob.: ject, however, the House of Lords ought not and could not avow, because it was at variance with the first principles of the Constitution. They were now making the last struggle to maintain that corrupt influence in the country which was first, in part, wrested from them by the great act of Reform, and to which this last Bill, they were aware, would put a final end. They were now, therefore, met there to give expression to the opinion embodied in the resolutions he was about to submit, that the Bill for Ileferming the Coporations of England was of vital importance to the stability of the Throne, the preserva tion of the Conititntion, and to the peace and prosperity of the empire. He would say, that with regard to the House of Lords themselves, it Was of the last and most vital importance that the Bill should pass. They had placed themselves, by their opposition to it, in a false and perilous situation, and it became the friends of the Constitution, and of the peace of the coun try, to interfere and to tell the House of Lords that they could not be permitted, in their blind infatuation of clinging to abuses, to endanger the existence of even their own branch of the Le gislature, with the privileges of which the people of this coun try had no desire to intermeddle. They must, therefore, be awakened from their dream, the treacherous, wild, and perilous dream, in which they were now indulging, and the continuance • of which might involve the ruin of their own order." We might extract from other forcible speeches ; but con sidering the fatal nature of the Lords' amendments to the principle of the Bill, the discussion loses its interest. What is done is done. Tice Bill is lost, as Lord Brougham em phatically said, and further argument expended on the measure, or further warning wasted on Lordly infatuation, are useless. As Hainkt says, they are " words, words, words," and the people must now bethink them of pre paring themselves for acts. For ourselves, we feel inclined to rest on our arms and wait the issue. It is the affair of the Lords. They have themselves brought on the crisis. They have mutilated the people's Bill, and the people will place the mistreated and maimed abortion of the infatuated Peerage on the steps of their Lordships' door, to do with it as they please --"Diseite nzoic Reges.—Bc wise now, oh, ye Kings !,---be instructed, oh, ye judges of the earth !" Morning Advertiser, The Lords have now forced the ecmntry to the verge of a convulsion, and it is now proper that we should not dis guise the fact, but look our dancer in the face, and provide iagainst the consequences. It is not the Municipal Bill only which has been gullotined, and returnesilike a mummy, with the form preserved, but the vital principle extinct. Other measures arc fated to undergo a similar process of butchering—the Irish Church and Corporation Bills, and the anti-Imprisonment for Debt Bill have all but received judgment—the righteous judges have put en the fatal sym bol—the black cap has been mounted, sentence is passed, and , the State executioner, Lord Lyndhurst, is preparing for discharging the duty of his obnoxious office. It would be folly in the people of Great Britain to pretend to free dom- if they sulenit to the principles audaciously asserted in the Upper House. The object and end of the Lords is the perpetuity of plunder, and the coma -dation of despotic authority. Witness the Lynd horst antendinents to the Corporation Bill, and the opposition of Lord Harewood to the anti-Imprisonment !or Debt Bill, on the ground that it was " most arbitrary and tyrannical" to expose their Lordships' property to the payment of their debts, their persons being already exempt, and that the commoners, as if they were o a different spe• cies, should not be freed from the horrors of incarceration. The - trade negotiated on such a principle is a perfect slave trade—it is an ex post fiwto disposal of a man's person in lieu of his debts ;—but if the system continue, why should Peers be held exempt from its provisions? There are, however, at the moment, graver topics to discuss than even the injustice of giving creditors power over the liberty of their debtors—and the first in importance is the arrogant exercise, by the Lords, of their undue authority over the liberties of the nation. They daringly assert their right to " CHECK AND CONTROL" the people's representatives. This must not endure, nor be endured. Our fathers have left us some cheering examples of maintaining right against prerogative. Look with what • success the " Liing Parliament" annulled tonnage and poundage, resisted ship -money, abolished the Star Chamber, cur :tailed prerogative, and castigated a domineering priesthood. I The measures which we have to support are as essential to the prosperity and ultimate tranquillity of the State. Have Englishmen degenerated ? If not, when our insults, our wrongs, and our oppressions are as great, why not prove that,' our indignation, our courage, our talents, and our power are equal to carry us as triumphantly through the struggle against tyranny now as that of our ancestors was by the Pyrns and Hampdens ? There is a meeting of the inhabitant householders of the parish of St. Paul, Covent garden, to be held this day, to consider the propriety of pe titioning the Commons to reject the alterations made by the Lords in the Municipal Bill. This activity deserves the utmost praise, but we consider our fellow , citizens might di rest their deliberations to more more appropriate subjects, namely, What is . to be done - with 11w House ql Lords? —What benefits have the people ever derived from heredit ary l e gi s l a ti on ? Wh a t are the best means of pro viding i n future against such injurious excitements as have been provoked by the hostility which the, Lords have, on all occasions, exhibited against the progress of popular rights ? If every measure of amelioration can be carried only by such irresistible musters of the popular forces as, were called together in support of the Catholic Relief Bill—the great Reform Bill, and oiher-Bills which the liberal intelligence of the age made imnerative—we s ay it were better th a t hereditary - legislation were abolished alto gether, than that it should continue seeli system of in convenience and danger. It is to these subjetes the at tention- of real ReNffflus should now be -a d a c e;:,w-d, and sincerely do we 1416:112)0 in the meetings, which will no doubt be called in this eiiiiat 6-I,',Vetnity throughout every extremity throdghout every city gtyl itioct in the empire, they will receive that calm consideration wilich their im portance requires, and that the nation will make a de termined effort to carry a just decision into immediate ope ration. The despots, to use their own words, "dare us to a trial of strength,"—our reply is brief—we accept the ehallengc: " Lay on, Alac&ti! " And damn'd be 1 , ,th0 first cries, Hold ! enough t" —Morning Advertiser. In an evening paper of Saturday last we find in the Par liamentary report the following passage in a speech of Mr. C. Buller :—" The lion. and Learned Member then ad verted to the large demand there was for cheap publications. While the Times and the Dispatch circulated only about aotpco each per week, the Penny Magazine sold 200,000 copier in the same time." It is curious that in the four principal Morning Pape r s no such remark is reported , and that as far us 'we have seen, it appears only in a journal with which :he Hon. Member (we know not how truly) is generally said to l?e connected. Be that as it may, we have one word to say on tuP observation itself. We shall n o t condescend to comment on t he honourable attempt of Mr. C. Buller to depreciate the amout:+ of our circulation, wh en ;,e a moment's inquiry at the Stamp.„,flit would have show n his statement to be grossly inaccurate, bu: we will go at once to his allegation about the cheapness o f t he Penny Magazine. Now we pronounce that publicaon to be almost incalculably dearer than the Times. The 77m..7 , including the price of the stamp, is sold for 7d. The Penny Magazine, which has no fourpenny stamp to pay, and does not contain more than a sixth part of the matter of the Times, is sold for a penny ; the matter of the cheap mieazine is a mere scissor-compilation from other works : there are no Parliamentary reporters, no law re porters, no police reporters to be paid : no writers of origi nal discussion : no correspondence : no expresses, foreign or domestic. Such a journal, compared with the Times. or any well-conducted Morning Paper, would be dear if sold at the rate of six for a farthing. And yet the Hon. Mein for. Liskeard, in the plenitude of his ignorance, calls this a "cheap publication." It was said of the most agreeable, thoug, l ' not the best, writer of the last century, that " nihil tetigit quo' ] non ornavit :" from the specimens which we have seen of 1: - .e Parliamentary career of the member for Liskeard we should say " nihil ornavit quod te -401. His very scanty modicum of talent and knowledge makes him an easy dupe, while his self-opinion blinds him to his error even when it is visible to all the world. Lord Ellenborough once said of a dull witness who was indulging in some figure of speech, " Really such a man should not venture upon metaphor." We would with de ference suggest to Mr. C. Buller, that he should make " his power the limit of his will," and not venture to touch open subjects beyond his strength or beyond his knowledge. tie has lately been found sadly wanting on the important question of the Mauritius, of which he had assumed the management. We will undertake to predict that he will other as few laurels in his new field of operations against the stamped Press. We do not know whether we may think it worth our while to descend into the arena with him, but there is no lack of ability in several of our con temporaries to give him a regular " Cornish hug." We beg to assure this Hon. Gentleman, that we bear him no ill-will, and that our observations are dictated by a feeling of compaision for one who seems likely to commit himself. If we were malicious, we should adopt the policy of Addi son, and let him flounder on till be became inextricably in , volved in error and absurdity.—Times. It is absurd to insinuate, as some of our contemporaries do, that many of the People of England have been in duced to send up petitions to the House of Lords in sup port of parts of the new Corporation Bill, against which the majority of their own representatives, the representa tives of England in the reformed Parliament, have voted. No ! no ! The people of Ireland, the people of Scotland, call upon the Lords to pass our English Corporation Bill without alteration, because the majority of . the representa tives of those portions of the empire have so voted for the bill ; but the people of England do not call upon their own freely-chosen representatives to bow the head to Scotch and Irish Members, the latter chosen everybody knows how, upon a question purely English. Upon the most important division in the Commons House of Parliament, there was but a majority of 28 in favour of the Bill ; but of the English Members, there were 179 for it, and 194 against it ; thus giving a majority of 15 English Members against it. To the manner in which the Irish Members have been returned to Parliament—namely, under the denunciation that those who voted against them should have their houses marked out for destruction, each by a skull - and cross-thighbones, and their persons for murder —it is now unnecessary to allude ; but with respect to the wish of the Scotch gentlemen who would reform our Cor porations contrary to the vote of our own Members, we would beg leave to ask•how they have reformed their own ? The story is really full of laughter and mirth, except that it has a melancholy conclusion. First of all the Whigs appoint "a commission of inquiry" into the state and con dition of the Scotch Corporations ! (Every sentence of this narrative deserves a note of admiration thus (!), for it discloses a tissue of absiirdity.) They then determine to reform, as they call it, the Corporations, without waiting for the Report of their own commission! " They legis late first,", as Lord Haddington says, " and enquire after wards." They put the cart before the horse. The Corporations being thus reformed, now comes out the Report of their own Commissioners, condemning all that had been done, and justifying all t;:e pre dictions of mischief that had been uttered against the plan of reform which they had adopted ! God for bid that we should say the Scotch corporations did not need reform. We know they needed it greatly. But is this the way in which statesmen go to work on a subject of such vast importance? Are these Legislators ? Arid are Scotch corporations thus reformed to be held out as models to us, or Scotch corporators to be listened to, when they • petition that our corporations may be made like theirs ; and that, contrary to the voice and vote of our own English members, in Parliament assembled ? And then how has this cart-before-the-horse system of Reform operated in Glasgow ? Most gloriously. "Town counsellors have been elected, who were on oath certified to be so poor, as to be unable to advance the smallest sum to the poor-rate ; others, who were but lately bankrupts, and newly discharged by their creditors have been chosen." All this may be very right ; for, being poor, it is fit and proper that they should be maintained out of the corporation funds! What is the use of requiring a qualification for the office of town-coun sellors ? Men with such a qualification have no need of the corporation property. Give it to those who want it., to be sure ! But softly,. what has been the end of this system in Glasgow ? " The burgh council is fallen into utter contempt ! The burgh funds have suffered severe dilapidations" under the management of these gentry ! and they talk of resorting to a "poll-tax to replace what they have dissipated !" This is rather awkward. However, Lord .Brougham says, that " he can get a genuine petition signed by 30,000 inhabitants of Glasgow, declaring that their Bill works well." No doubt he can ; no doubt of it. But, without paying any attention either to the information of Lord Lyndhurst on one side, or the assertion of Lord "-ou , rham on the other, we would beg leave to ask , what 1'" 9 fa cts ? Have " the burgh funds suffered severe are tta.' dilapidia i ou : ?" And " are they talking of resorting to Why, Lord Brougham himself acknow a poll-tax: ?" ledges, in his ,gpc ,- ~ ,I s of Monday night, that he does not hle funds into the hands of his like to trust the diatil...: give would them the ower. new counsellors, though lie p " He admitted"—these are his words—" I admit very it to , be some addi t4. ,hat, as to charitable funds, there 09 tional control over the governing body' : !! ; this is saying a g:eat deal for your friends, kind Lord nro.:.'sci.ham, the 30,000 signers (of whom you boast) to the u e ,7!,.zat io n e that the burgh system works well. What nonsense ! as !c those who had the power, and were needy, would not be ' sure to get the money. And now, as to Lord Brougham's objection to the clause that some of the town-council should, under whatever name, be chosen for life. Our own view of the subject is, that provided they be chosen by the people or rate-payers at large, and not elected by the body of' which they are to form a part, or, in other words, provided 1 that the governing body be not either wholly or in any part self-elected, the measure, though not one which we altoge ther like, is not very objectionable. But, in any case, Lord Brougham was not the man to object to this principle of permanence in a part of the burgh council, for it formed an esseotial part of his own bill of corporation reform intro duced by him and read a second time, August 22, 1833. We present the proof of our assertion to our readers : " And be it enaciee, that on the 3d day of January, after the granting of any charter to any such borough as aforesaid, the common council pf such borough shall elect and appoint for each of the wards thereof one of themselves to be an alder man of such borough, and every such alderman shall hold his office during his natural life,, except in the cases hereinafter mentioned ; and in case a vacancy shall be occasioned in the office of aldermen for any such borough, by reason of any per son who shall have been elected to such office not accepting the same in the. manner hereafter mentioned, or by reason of his dying or ceasing to hold the said office for any of the causes hereinafter mentioned, the common council of such bo yoegh shall within 14 days after such vacancy fleet and ap :point one of themselves to be an alderman in the place of the person so occasioning such vacancy."—Clause 20. We don't really think Lord Brougham entitled to this `fiotice ; but what are we to do ? He is the only man that says any thing about the matter in the Upper House ; for as to Yiseouut Melbourne, the head of the Administra tion (an excellent and accomplished gentleman,) he has, we suspect, never given himself tare trouble to read the Bill ; in which respect we think he treats his shabby allies, the Radical Reformers, very aeurvily ; though perhaps not woree than they des,, , yre—yet not at his hands.

Tititas YAcilT Cum.—This distinguished Club had their second below-bridge match yesterday, in honour of his Majesty's birth-day, he being the distinguished patron of their club. The Sovereign, as usual, had been engaged to acCOMpally the match, and she loosed her moorings at a quarter to ten. At a few minutes before eleven she arrived at Green wich, and at seventeen minutes after eleven the Commodore, J. H. Harrison, Esq., having positioned the boats, the signal was fired, and they were off. In the canting round there was scarcel a difference. The Victorine was southward, and th e others In the order in which they are placed on the list. Victorine station yacht, 16 tons, London ; T. and J. Stokes, Esqs., owners ; blue and white cross. Rob Roy station yacht, 16 tons, London; J. Southam, E sq . ; black and scarlet. Ada Jane station yacht, 17 tons, London ; J. W. Sweting and W. Malby, Esq. ; blue with red cross. Figaro station yacht, tons; London; R. T. Wells, Esq. ; white, blue star. Telemachus station yacht, '2l tons, London ; J. Williams, Esq. ; scarlet and white. . _ They all cleared off at the same time. The Ada Jane was soon in trim, and it was a matter of doubt whether they would not foul, in consequence of the narrowness of their berths. The Victorine was well to windward, and she was on her way before the others. She went right down without going about. The Ada was second, but she was obliged to board. The Rob Roy was third and the Figaro fourth. At this early stage it was evident that the Telemachus did not stand a shadow of a chance. She is a bad boat, and not one person who under stands sailing ever iriiagined that she could do any thing. She lost her gaff-halyards off Blaekwail, and nothing was thought of her. The wind increased as they got down, and they must have felt that there was pl en ty o f work to do. It was a beat ing time, and in some of the reaches it was a noser.. They had to put about very often, and it was in this that the whole of the interest of the match was vested, for the Victorine had left them in the lurch. She is a better boat to windward than was generally supposed. She had it throughout all her own way, and this damped the sporting, interest which had mani fested itself in the commencement of the match. On the next sight procured by the steamer, the Victorine was leading the van on a starboard tack, foll o w e d by th e Fi garo , t h e Ad a Jane being third. In NVooWell reach the Figaro was to wind ward of the Ada Jane, but still the latter was in advance, with every prospect of being overhauled. They were both on the north shore, but in going about the Ada kept her advan tage. The Figaro went to windward of her directly after, but she had done so only a few minutes when she carried away her peal halyards, and the Ada again got the second place. The Rob Roy was spanking down, and soon overhauled her opponent, looking as though she meant mischief to the Victo rine. At Gravesend the latter boat rounded at 27 minutes 25 seconds after two ; the Rob Roy 44 minutes 30 seconds past ; the Ada Jane 36 minutes past. Immediately after rounding the flag boat, the topmasts were hoisted, and gaff topsails sported. The jibs were removed for others of extreme mag nitude, ar.d they ran up before the wind. There was nothing up which deserves a moment's comment They rounded the station-boat at Greenwich in the following order:—The Vic torine was first at 23 minutes 18 seconds after five o'clock ; the Ada Jane 37 minutes past five; the Rob Roy a minute and a half astern. The cup, an hour afterwards, was filled with eine, and presented by Mr. Harrison to Messrs. Stokes, the winners. " The health of the King and Queen " was re ceived with great enthusiasm ; and the Vice-Pat ro n was done the same honour to. The Pandean banal played s ome popular airs ; and all the ar ra ng e ments on boa r d were o f th e first order.

HASTINGS, Aug 15.—FALLING OF CLIFF. — Early yesterday morning a large piece of the high cliff, at what is called the East-hill of this town, near the look-out of the pilots, and a small public building for the use of the fisher men, to repair th e i r nets,• called " the House of Commons,' gave way, and fell through the roof of a house built under neath and on the beach. The house in question is so situated for the advantage of tanning nets ; and it is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Adams, respectable people, and their large family of children. When the terrific accident happened, all the chil dren, having been dressed, had . just gone out, but the poor mother, having. passed a restless night with her baby, had rot quitted her bed. The rock that fell broke in the roof, and carried Mrs. Adams, bed and all, through the floor to the basement story, whence she was dug from among the ruins with considerable difficulty. On being extricated it was found that she was so dreadfally bruised and injured as to render it doubtful whether she can recover from the frightful accident, and the shock and injuries • she received. She was immediately conveyed to a neighbour's dwelling, but cannot be removed thence ; ,he, however, is quite sensible, and an swers questions. in the mildest and most resigned manner. The husband and men were yesterday employed in clearing away the rubbish, and making a way. into the house, and to day they have been able to make fires in that part of it used. for the tanning of the fishing nets. The other portions of the house are a complete wreck. • , not vastly like to associate with them in the goy erAment of a corporate town, under the new law, were it to pass. —Times. Lord Melbourne, it is said by his friends, and his man ner evidently confirms the truth of the report, feels most keenly his deserted state in the House of Lords. Th e whole history of Parliament presents nothing so degrading as a Minister possessing only 39 votes in the Upper House, more than one-half of those consisting of the Administra tion and its immediate connections, and these opposes: by an overwhelming majority of more than three to one. Aocl. this is not all. Many supposed stanch friends have left town, cooled, or unwilling to appear at the hour of need ; while, " worserer still," some whose votes were considered ee ;lain have turned their backs upon themselves, and unex pectedly jone over to te eney. In the meantime we wit ness part ot.L''e Press vehntingm the most inflammatory asper sions against the House of Lords, designating them as a band of selfish oligalchs, wedded to anuses, and opposed to every species of reform. If the Lords know when to stop, they will not only have an: ply vindicated themselves 40m these calumnies, but will h ave shown to the country that it possesses in that branch of the Leg islature not onl y a bui wark against. revolutionalinnovation, p lait a protection for the poor man's rights, which the latter has not on this occasion found in the Reformed House of Commons. But recurring to Lord Melbourne ; where was the foresigit which ought to distinguish the Statesman upon such occasions ? Why were the amendments which are now adopted by an over whelming majority in the Lords, resisted when proposed in the Commons by Sir Robert Peel ? The Noble Viscount and his colleagues must have known that such would be ease ; and was it not therefore the obvious part of common p ra ;lence to avoid the melancholy show of Parliamentary weakne,'s, and of decertion, which the late divisions in the House of L.ords ban exhibited ? • We say this under two impressions :—the one that the general feeling of the coun try is with the House or" Lords thus far :—the other, that the Commas will find it n'eeessary to yield to these amend ments, or the greater part them. If such be the ease, the country may reasonably ask - why was not such a com promise acceded to at first, and w,by are we to be exposed to the mischief of a collision which n:ight have been, with so much facility, and with no loss of character or consis tency, avoided . 1 —Morning Herald. We have always felt and expressed the fa l lest confidence that the Corporations Reform Bill would not b n sent back from the House of Lords to the House of Commons with out having received at the hands of their Lordships many important improvements, tending to secure to the towns of England and Wales, more effectually than the measure in its original state could have d o .ne, the advantages of a pure and judicious local administratiosa and to protect from the danger of prodigality, or misapi')i.ication, the ample funds and the important patronage left the power of Corpora tions. It is now evident that wry confidence was well founded. The House of Lords have divested the measure of much that was pernicious and danEverous in its former character, and have engrafted upon it various judicious and well-considered clauses, every one of which is evi dently calculated to render it more efficam. aus for the beneficial public purposes which its authors pi fessed to have in view when they submitted it to the wisdora' of the Legislature. The amendments proposed last. night by Lord Lyndhurst, and carried in their Lordships' C.;.."`m ,7-uttee by an overwhelming majority, will, however, be cow sideeed by all competent and reflecting persons as the most valuiaLle and important that the measure has yet received- An amexAment previously adopted was intended to provide that none but persons distinguished from the rest of their fellow-citize),'s by their greater respectability and indepen dence, should be eligible as Members of the Town Council. The amendmeat , of last night secures the further and still greater advantage that in the councils, consisting entirely of persons so qualificd for their office, there shall always be a certain proportion oie Members in such a position as may shelter them from " the pressure from without," and admit of their forming and aciing upon their own independent judgment in every . emergency. The House of Lords has very prudently resolved that Pne-fourth of the Members of every common or town counejl, shall be Members for life ; that., where there are now hlembers for life in the Council of Corporations, they shal l not be displaced by the Bill ; and that, where the nun:ber of life Mem bors does not come up to the required proportion, accar,ding to the present constitution of a 'Corporation, the ri.tober shall be made up by election. These, we repeat, are most excellent alterations of the Bill. They w ill g i ve to the governing bodies in Corporations a degree of weight an respectability, which, under the measure as it was concocte4 by his Majesty's Ministers, they never could have obtained. They will thus afibrd to the towns an ad ditional guarantee for the integrity and intelligence of their local government, a cid for the faithful and honourable dis charge of its duties, and they will accomplish this impor_ tant purpose in a manrre.r which, so far from impairing, must considerably increase, the value of the municipal franchis,„ in the hands of the humbler classes of burgesses, by enablin g the latter to repose a more ioportant trust, and to confer more honourable station, that , any which would o t h erwis e have been at their disposal, uocn the most meritorious o r the most favoured of their felles,--Atizens.—Morning Post r PARLIAMENTARY PILOCEEDINGS.

Dance, and a very pleasant piece th e materials are not very substantial, which at n il events is in favour of the lightness of the performanc e, but nevertheless there is meaning in the plot, which enforces a good though not very new practical lesson for ,conduct in life. The act ing was unexceptionable throughout, but e specially, as will be anticipated, of barren. who undertook rather a new line, and succeeded in it admirably ; independently of what he said, and the manner and tone in which he said it, there was a laxity-about his gait, dress, and deportment that well -helped to sustain Vie s.lrt of character he represented. There is no doubt that it will have a good rtn, and as little that it will deserve the run it will have. I U
