R.N., &c.. FREN CH PAPERS. CII,MtR OF DEPUTIES.---SirriNo of At.G. 4. M. Dupin took the chair at four o'clodk, in presence of a full attendance of mefe,btrs; , The PrOitlefit of the Council, and the Ministeft of Public Instruction, Justice, and Marine, Ociiiiii&ee, the Interior, and the Finances, were in their places. _ The President recommended punctuality of attendance to the members of the grand deputation appointed to accompany the funeral procession of Wednesday, in honour of the victims of the 28th. He also stated that the other members of the Chamber were to meet at the President's hotel before ten o'cloek in the morning, and proceed thence in a body to the invalids, in order to arrive there some time before his Majesty. The President tit the Council then ascended the tribune, and addressed the Chamber for the purpose of making a Go vernment communication. He commenced by referring to the magnitude of the crime which had filled France with alarm and indignation—to the gratitude due to Providence, which had watched over the interests of the country—to the love and respect due to the Sovereign, who had displayed the greatest courage in the midst of a horrible crisis—and to the regret which should be felt for those that were no more. lie de dared that Ministers came forward in behalf of their Sove reign—in the name of France and of her institutions— to demand such laws and powers as were necessary to pre serve the country from a return of the dangers that menace her existence, by threatening the King of her choice. He observed that the evil was by no means new, that for several years the baneful activity of party spirit had been at work to destroy the fruits of the most legitimate revolu tion that had ever been effected. For the last five years France might be said to have enjoyed the utmost prosperity in a state of constant Mann, to have combated in the midst of peace. Her course had been one of progress and of danger. She enjoyed within herself every means of prosperity, and yet her first care had been almost invariably devoted to her own safety. The members of the Chamber had been obliged to exert all their energies in support of order, and yet order had not been completely established. The Chamber was not to be terrified by danger, but Hon. Deputies must now feel the necessity of acting vigorously to repel those dangers. Parties, though vanquished, still existed in secret ; each day disclosed the evil worked by them, and the disastrous traces of their passage. An inveterate hatred of social order, a determination to over throw it at any sacrifice, a degree of exasperation produced by defeat and baffled hope, an insatiable thirst of vengeance, were still to be found in the ranks of a minority which, though van quished, was not submissive, A prompt and effectual remedy could alone prevent the prolongation of such a state of things. If the factious were permitted to attack the powers of society —to protest in the open face of day against the principle of the Government—to make a public manifestation of their adhesion to a Government which France had rejected, the existence of society would be nothing more than a protracted revolutionary crisis—the respect due to the laws, or the fear that might stand in lieu of that respect, would disappear. Such were the evils reserved for France, if not stifled in their birth. Some of these evils had been already called into being, for never had Government been attacked in its principle, in its form, and in the person of its Sovereign, with more inveterate au dacity, and hitherto with greater impunity, than the Go vernment of the charter of 1830. The fallen dynasty had audaciously claimed France as a domain, and excited the disaffected to a counter-revolution. The Republicans braved, denied, and insulted the Government. A fanatic party, capable of the worst excesses, was formed amidst the very dregs of French society, and the fact was traced in cha r acters of blood on the pavement of the streets of Paris. The lamentable picture which he had sketched had but too much reality ; but the courage of France, which for the last five years, had resisted the attacks of parties, would find a remedy for the evil. That remedy lay entirely in the principles and the force of the Constitutional Government. 'The programme of the political system which the Government was proud to support, " the charter and peace," must be accomplished without hesitation and without reserve. To defend the rights of the charter, and to re-establish its inviolability, would prove the sole means of returning to the principle of the Revolution of 1830. To effect those objects, was the aim and end of the laws about to be submitted to the Chamber. He conceived that the liberty of the press was not predominant over the other institutions of the country, as it was limited by the con stitution of which it formed a part. One of the fundamental principles of the charter was its own inviolability. A fun damental principle of a constitutional monarchy was, that the sovereign is beyond all attack, and superior to all discussion. The monarchy, the sovereign, and his dynasty, were as in violable as the charter. To attack or deny them publicly was an act of revolt, and after the crimes of June and April—after those of November 1832, and July 1835—such an attack was a manifest attempt against the safety of the state. The Cham ber, however, had no cause for apprehension that Ministers, in their desire to restore the authority of the charter, would set its provisions at nought. They proposed no exceptional laws, no temporary measures. The law which they were about to submit to the wisdom of the Chamber would be found just, advantageous, and based on good policy, so long as France enjoyed the blessings of a constitutional monarchy. The parties opposed to the Government could demand only three principal guarantees—the liberty of the subject, the liberty of the press, and constitutional jurisdiction. With regard to the liberty of the subject, Ministers proposed to make no change ; as to the liberty of the press, they wished it to be complete, but also con stitutional. They wished to establish no limits to the dicus sion of the acts of the Government ; but with regard to the King, his dynasty, and the constitutional monarchy, the press was not entitled to greater privileges than the tribune of that Cham ber. At a moment of difficulty like the present strong laws, but not laws of terror, were required. The spirit of the proposed measures would be found conformable to the policy which Ministers had ever supported—the policy which had prevailed since 1830, and which had been characterized by former Chambers as the only system in unison with the wants of the nation. The feelings of the nation had been strongly pro nounced, and in that Chamber Ministers confidently relied upon finding support. That Chamber had its participation in the Government of the country. The protection of Pro vidence had interposed in favour of the throne, and it was now for the wisdom and courage of the Legislature to disarm the factious, and to terminate the work which had been commenced by the fortune of France.—( Hear.) The Minister of Justice ascended the tribune, and said that three Bills were about to be submitted to the Chamber by the Government. The object of the first of these Bills was to modify the existing legislation on the press. After enume rating several of the provisions of the Bill, as comprised in the text published by us at full length, the Minister observed that the enemies of the Government would no doubt maintain that the enormity of the penalties to be pronounced proved the existence of a design to crush the freedom of the press. He would admit that Ministers wished to render a Republican and a Carlist press impossible, for the existence of such .a press was incompatible with the principles of the Government. The citizens of France were not to assume the qualifications of Republicans and Legitimatists, or publicly to express the wishes and threats which had reference to those opinions. The Minister then explained and commented on several other arjicles of the Bill, particularly those which relate to caricatures, theatrical representations, seizures, judgments by default, appeals to the Court of Cassation, &c. He con cluded by saying, that the inefficacy of the present system of legislation on the press was evident to all, and that the object of the present Bill was, by the infliction of severe penalties, to crush the party which sought to overthrow the Constitu tional Government. He then proceeded to read the text of the Bill as follows : ‘‘ CHAPTER 1.-CRIMES, OFFENCES, AND MISDEMEANOURS, BY MEANS OF TIIE PRESS, OR ANY OTHER MODE OF PUBLICATION. " Art. 1. Every offence against the person of the King, whether by one of the means mentioned in Article 1 of the law of the 17th of May, 1819, or any other mode of publication, is an attempt against the safety of the State. Whoever shall be found guilty of the same shall be punished with detention, and a fine varying from 10,000 francs to 50,0(X) francs. " 2. Whoever shall by the same means have endeavoured to turn into ridicule the person and the authority of the King, shall be con demmd to imprisonment for a term varying from six months to five years, and to a fine varying from 500 to 10,000 francs. The offender shall moreover be deprived of the whole or part of the rights men tioned in Article 42 of the Penal Code, for the entire duration of his penalty, and for a term equal to that of the imprisonment to which he may have been condemned. " 3. In discussing the acts of Government, it is forbidden to introduce the name of the King, either directly ' indirectly, or by allusion. The author of an offence herein shall be punished with imprisonment, for a term varying from one month to one year, and with a fine varying from 5001. to 5,0001. " 4. Any attack by one of the same means against the principle anti the form of the King's Government, as established by the con stitutional charter of 1830, any direct or indirect provocation to change them, is an attempt against the safety of the State. Who ever shall be found guilty of it shall be punished with detention, and a fine varying from 10,000 f. to 50,000 f. " 5. Whoever shall have publicly manifested his adhesion to an other form of government, either by assuming the qualification of a Republican, or by expressing a wish, hope, or threat, for the des truction of the monarchical or constitutional order, shall be con demned to imprisonment for a term varying from six months to five years, and to a fine varying from 500 f. to 10,000 f. " 6. Whoever shall have publicly attributed the right to the Throne of France, either to one of the members of the Family con demned to perpetual exile by the law of the 10th of April, 1832, or to any other than Louis Philippe I. and his descendants ; whoever shall have expressed a wish, hope, or threat, for the restoration of the fallen Government, shall be condemned to imprisonment for a term varying from six months to five years, and to a fine varying from 500 f. to 10,000 f. . " 7. The dispositions of the laws at present in force against offences of the press, and not contrary to the present law, shall continue to be executed ; nevertheless, in the event of two con demnations in the course of one year against the same individual, or the same journal, the penalties may be augmented to the double of the maximum, and, in the case of the periodical press, to four times the amount of the maximum. The penalties which may be suc cessively pronounced shall not be confounded with each other, and shall be all undergone to their full extent. " 8. It is forbidden to open and publicly announce subscriptions tending to annul judicial condemnations. The offender herein shall be punished correctionally with imprisonment for a term varying from one month to one year, and with a fine varying from 500 to 5,000 francs. "9. It is also forbidden under the same penalties to publish either before or after the sentence the names of the jury who may have sat upon a case, or to give an account of their internal deli berations. " CHAP. 11.-GERANS OF JOURNALS AND PERIODICAL WRITINGS. " 10. Conformably to article 8 of the law of July 8, 1828, the gerant of a journal, or periodical writing, shall be bound to sign each number of his journal. Any gerant who may beforehand have signed a blank sheet, shall be punished correctionally with impri sonment for a term varying from one month to one year, and with a fine varying from 500 to 3,000 francs. " 11. Every get-ant shall be bound to publish in his journal, re ceiving payment for the insertion, the information or rectification addressed to him by the Government with regard to the facts stated in his journal. In case of refusal on his part, he may be punished t - VIE SUN, 1,0N1)0N, PRIDAY, AtfausT 7, ,1835.

It has been reported that the Duchess de Berri has within these few days been in Paris for 24 hours. We cannot give the least credit to this rumour, which no doubt originated from her having lately been in Switzerland.— Ceonstitutionnel. The interrogation of Ficschi is followed up very closely. Baron Pasquier and the Duke de Cazes are with him every morning at 7 o'clock, and sometimes he is examined a second time in the course of the day. Among the persons arrested as accomplices in the execrable act, or at least as having a knowledge of it, the woman Petit, with whom Ficschi coha bited, is most likely, if she can be brought to tell all she knows, to give the most valuable information. It has been proved beyond doubt that she passed the night of the 27th with Fieschi, in the very chamber from which on the following day such wide destruction was to issue. At the same time, notwithstanding the reserve so properly maintained by the examining commission, it is evident that the proofs of any complex or extended conspiracy have not yet been acquired. The culprit, whose whole life has been one continued career of intrigue, is not wanting in either education or understanding ; and in the course of the interro gation he has, by his cunning, frequently foiled all the skill of his examiners. It appears to be established that he is not, as was at first believed to be the case, one of those moody and perverted spirits which are ready to sacrifice their lives for the accomplishment of what they consider a work of con science; but, on the contrary, he had taken every possible precaution to escape from the hands of justice, not a single paper was found in the trunk, and all his linen had been re marked with the letter M, the old marks being just picked out. He has frequently hesitated in giving his answers, and has acknowledged that a little before the King arrived his heart failed him, and he went down into the shop below, and drank some brandy, which restored his courage sufficiently for the accomplishment of his design. The National says—" It is reported that Fieschi was in Italy at the same time with the woman Petit, who was em ployed by the French police in watching the movements of the Duchess de Berri ; and it is added that he returned from this mission less devoted to the cause of Louis Philippe. He is said to have boasted that he had received bribes from the two parties, and betrayed that which sent him, showing some bank-notes as the price of his treachery. It would be curious, after all, to find in Fieschi one of those men whom the police of all countries employ, and who turn against them when they do not fully satisfy their cupidity." V CHAP. 'V.-THEATRES AND THEATRICAL PIECES. " 15. ~\Oiiidividual can establish a theatre of any description either in Paris or in the departments, without previous authoriza tion obtained in Paris from the Minister of tho Interior, and in the departments from the Prefect. The same authorization must be ob tained for the pieces to be represented. Offences herein shall be punished correctionally with imprisonment varying from one month to one year, and with a fine varying from I,ooof. to 5,000 f. with out prejudice to the proceedings to which the pieces represented may give rise. " 16. In case of disturbances, scandal, infraction of the laws, ordinances, and regulations, the authorization granted either for the establishment of a theatre, or for the representation of a dramatic piece, may be withdrawn. These dispositioos, and that contained in the preceding article, are applicable to the existing theatres. The police of the theatres shall be determined by private regulations "CHAP. V.-PROSF,CUTION AND JUDGMENT, " 17. The law officers of the Crown shall have the power of citing the accused parties directly before the Court of Assizes, con formably to the law of April 8, 1831, even when there may have been a previous seizure of writings, drawings, engravings, litho graphic prints, or emblems. Nevertheless, in the latter case, the citation can be made only after the imoces-verbal of the seizure shall have been signified to the accused party. " 18. The accused party, being duly summoned, shall appear personally, or shall be represented by a special party authorized by him. Should he deem it expedient to apply for a postponement of judgment, he must state his reasons to the Court, which may ad • mit or reject them. In any case, whether the accused party ap pear or not, or the Court refuse the postponement demanded, the decision on the ground of the offence shall always be definitive. No opposition on the part of an accused individual can be admitted, unless proof be given that he has been irregularly or incompletely summoned. In that case, the opposition must be formed within 10 days at latest. after the decision has been made known. " 19. The appeal to the Court of Cassation against the deci sions which may have been made upon the incidental matter, shall be formed only after the definitive decision, and at the same time as the appeal against that decision. No appeal formed previously shall release the uourt of Assizes from the necessity of deciding upon the grounds of the offence. " 20. If when the law officers of the Crown exercise their action the session of the Court of Assizes should be terminated, and if there be no immediate prospect of the opening of another, an ex traordinary Court of Assizes shall be formed by means of an ordi nance with motive from the first President. This ordinance shall prescribe the drawing by lot of the jury, conformably to article 389 of the Code of Criminal Instruction, and shall appoint the counsellor who is to preside. In the chief towns of departments, where no Royal Courts sit, the President of the Tribunal of First Instance shall of right be president of the Court, unless the Minister of Jus tice or the First President shall have appointed another. " 21. The dispositions of former laws, not contrary to the present, shall continue to be executed according to their form and tenour." The Minister proceeded to read another Bill relative to the jury, but which want of space prevents us at present reporting verbatim to-day. Its principal dispositions consist in -1, the authorization of the secret vote by jury; and 2, in empowering a jury to pronounce a sentence by condemnation by a majority of 7 to 5. " DILL ON THE COURTS OF ASSIZES. " Art. 1. Any party accused of the crimes or offences provided for in the first paragraph of the 4th section of chapter iii. and book 3 of the Penal Code, or in the law of the 24th of May, 1834, shall be judged according to the forms and regulations determined in the present law. " Art. 2. The Minister of Justice may order the formation of as many courts of justice as may be requisite for proceeding simulta neously to the judgment of the accused party. " Art. 3. When, on communication made to hint of the pro ceedings, conformably to Art. 61 of the Code of Criminal Instruc tion, the Procureur-General shall consider the charge sufficiently established against one or more parties, he shall cause to be laid be fore him the documents referring to the preliminary proceeding, the proces verbal establishing the grounds of the offence, and a return of the objects that may serve to obtain a conviction, which shall be deposited with the greffier of the Royal Court. " Art. 4. In the case provided for by the preceding article, the Procureur-General may make over the affair to the Court of As sizes by virtue of citations given directly to the parties under arrest. " Art. 5. To this effect the Procureur-General shall address his requisitory to the President of the Court of Assizes, in order that a day may be fixed for the opening of the proceedings. This re quisitory shall be drawn up in the form established by Art. 241 of the Code of Criminal Instruction. " Art. 6. The requisitory of the Procureur- General, together with the ordinance of the President of Assizes, containing the ap pointment of the day of audience, shall be notified to the ac cused party at least ten days previously to the opening of the proceedings, by a huissier commissioned by the President of Assizes. " Art. 7. Twenty-four hours at least after such notification, the party accused shall be interrogated by the President of the Court of Assizes, and if he has not made choice of Counsel, one shall be a,s'gned to him, in conformity to Articles 294 and 295 of the Code of Criminal Instruction. " Art. 8. On the day appointed for the appearance of the ac cused parties, should the latter, or any of them, refuse to appear, a summons to obey the law shall be made to them by a huissier, commissioned for that purpose by the President of Assizes, and assisted by the public force. A proces verbal of the summons, and of the answer of the accused parties shall be drawn up by the huiFsicr. " Art. 9. Should the accused parties refuse to obey the summons made to them conformably to the preceding article, the President of Assizes may order them to be brought before the Court by force, and may also, after the reading of the proces verbal establishing their resistance, order the proceedings to be commenced, notwith standing the absence of the accused parties. After each sitting, the greffier of the Court of Assizes shall read to the accused parties who have not appeared the proccs verbal of the proceedings, and shall hand to them a copy of the requisitory of the Law Officers of the Crown, as also of the decisions issued by the Court, which shall always be supposed to have been made with opposition. " Art. 10. The President shall be empowered to remove from the Court, and to order to be conveyed to prison, any accused party who, by clamour or other means calculated to create disturbance, may impede the free course of justice ; and in that case the Court shall proceed in the absence of the accused party, as has been prof vided in the foregoing articles. " Art. 11. Any accused party, or other person present at the sitting of a Court of Assizes, who shall cause a tumult with a view to obstruct the course of justice, shall be declared guilty of rebellion, and punished by imprisonment for a term varying from six months to two years, without prejudice to the penalties laid down by the Penal Code, against outrages and violence towards magistrates. " Art. N. The dispositions of the Articles 8,9, 10, and 11, are applicable to the judgment of all crimes and offences." The President said, that the Chamber gave acknowledg ment to the King's Minister of the presentation of the bills, which were ordered to be printed, distributed, and submitted for examination to the standing committees. The Minister of War, Marshal Maison, read the followi ng statement of the grounds upon which the bills were founded : —" The King has commanded us to present to your four bills, for the purpose of granting tokens of the public munificence to the families of three of the victims of a horrible attempt, and a national recompense to one of those brave men who we still hope will be saved from the fatal consequences of this frightful disaster. The individuals whom we are about to name as claimants upon the gratitude of the na tion are sufficiently known, and even were it otherwise, their misfortunes would still render them sacred to France. They are—the widow of the illustrious Marshal Mortier,—the widow of General de Lachasse de Verigny,—the mother of the young Vilatte, who promised to be worthy o f filli ng th e vacant place of his gallant father; and finally General Blin, who, notwithstanding his advanced age, listening only to his devoted attachment to his King, resolved to place himself by the side of his Majesty on this ever-to-be-deplored day. The glorious career of the Duke of Treviso is engraved in the heart of every Frenchman. This intrepid voluteer of 1791, whose name appears with distinction in all the wars which France has sustained from that period ; who fought his way through the masses of Austerlitz, and the guerillas of Spain ; who, in Hanover and at Gcbora, proved how much may be done by a handful of men, led on by, a brave commander; he who witnessed almost beneath his feet the tremendous explo sion of the Kremlin without being injured ; the warrior who had been engaged in upwards of twenty battles, and had fairly earned the honours which the empire bestowed upon valour — he had received the highest mark of confidence from the Con- . stitutional Monarchy. Marshal Mortier fell the victim of a cowardly assassination in the midst of a festival, and under the eyes of the King, for whom he was no doubt ready to die a hundred deaths, but net in the base manner in which he ac tually fell. The country will adopt his noble family ! To you is intrusted the care of his afflicted widow, and of the in heritor of his great name 1 By his side also died other war riors. General de Lachasse de Vcrigny, Commandant of the Staff School, transmitted to the youth of our army the fruits of his experience gained from the traditions of our old batta lions. His life may still serve as an example to them. Scarcely 60 years of age, lie died, leaving three young children, and a widow, who is recommended to the State almost as much by the administrative services of her father, as by the military services of her husband. Individuals of all ages have been sacrificed to this cruel assassination. Captain Villatte, the son of one of our old comrades in arms, has fallen at the very outset of his career. Pardon me, gentlemen, if here I give way to personal feelings ; but every associate of the young Villatte will testify how truly worthy he was of my sincere re-' Bret. He has left a mother, whom the State will not refuse to console for the loss of a son who was truly worthy of her tenderness, and who was her principal support. General Blin has received two severe wounds, which have condemned to continued suffering those dap of repose he had every right to expect in his honourable retirement from service. How ninny ardent prayers has he uttered from his bed of pain for the King I For me,' he says, it has been merely a day of battle ; nay, even a day of victory, since the King is safe.'

DISSENTIENT :-1. Because we consider the provisions of this Bill, which is neither a private Bill nor a Bill of Pains and Penal ties, but one of a general and remedial nature, as not affording any reason for the admission of evidence that would not have applied equally to a great number of other legislative measures which have been passed through both Houses of Parliament, without the pro position of such an examination of witnesses ever having been made. 2. Because evidence has been tendered and refused by this House in former cases, where individual interests of property were at least equally involved. 3. Because the evidence tendered in this instance was all for the purpose of proving facts which are not necessarily in issue between those who support and those who oppose the passing of this Bill— facts all of which may be admitted to be true without the least im peachment of the principle of the measure, or any of its details. 4. Because the main ground of complaint, and the chief reason urged for receiving evidence, is not any objection to the provisions of the Bill, but an objection to one part of its preamble—which might be entirely omitted without any prejudice to the Bill. 5. Because the evidence tendered relates almost exclusively to the conduct of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of Municipal Corporations, and the Report of these Commis sioners—Whereas their conduct forms no part of the question raised by the Bill now brought before the House, and the Report is no necessary part of that measure. 6. Because, if evidence is to be received upon the ground that certain parties conceive themselves aggrieved by a certain report, or by the conduct of certain Commissioners, and not in proof of any injury apprehended from a measure before the House, there is no reason why evidence should not be received to rebut the matters contained in any report or any other document laid upon the table of this House, and proceeding from any quarter whatever, even if no legislative measure should have been grounded thereupon, nor any proceeding of the House proposed to be adopted in connexion therewith. 7. Because the admission of evidence, beside establishing a pre cedent for an indulgence which tends directly to impede our legis lative functions, must in this instance consume the time of the House, without giving any material assistance to the discussion of the subject, while it places in jeopardy the passing of a Bill called for by every consideration of sound policy, and by a due regard to the rights of the people. 8. Because when we assented to the application for hearing the case argued by Counsel, we did so protesting against its being either necessary or justifiable, but in order to remove all possible ground of complaint, and in the firm belief that it was the intention of the House to confine the proceeding at the bar to hearing the arguments of two Counsel.

PLU NEETT, PROTEST AGAINST THE CORPORATIONS REFORM BILL. DISSENTIENT :—l. Because the Commisiihm under which the Commissioners for inquiry into Municipal Corporations have acted is perfectly illegal and unconstitutional, the constitution of the coun try recognising no such arbitrary power as that which has been claimed by the Crown, of issuing a Commission (without the con sent of the Houses of Parliament) deeply affecting the hereditary rights, privileges, and properties belonging to the municipal borough towns included in the Report made by the said Commissioners. 2. That by acknowledging such a principle, by L.:3ring evidence, this House will establish a precedent of a most dangerous character, which will endanger the security not only of all existing here.:!arY rights and privileges, but of every species of property, whether of a public or private character, existing in this country. 3. That however specious the title of this Bill may appear, it is evident to every mind unprejudiced by party feeling that the object which it is intended to accomplish is the furtherance of that demo cratic spirit which is at present afloat in this country, and which is aiming at the total subversion of all the civil and religious institu tions of the British empire. WINCISILSEA AND NOTTINGDAM. Aug. 4, 1835. NEWCASTLE. APPLICATION TO THE LORD MAYOR TO GRANT A COMMON HALL. A requisition, of which the following is a copy, was signed by about 200 freemen and liverymen : " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. " We, the undersigned freemen and liverymen of the city of London, request that your Lordship will call a Common Hall to consider the propriety of presenting a petition to the House of Lords in favour of the Municipal Corporations Bill, which has been brought in by his Majesty's Ministers, passed by the House of Coin• mons, and is now before their Lordships' House." A deputation consisting of the following gentlemen, Messrs. Dillon, Wansey, Gibson, Baylis, Travers, Fearon, Wilson, and others, waited upon the Lord Mayor in the justice-room. Mr. Dillon handed the requisition to the Lord Mayor, wht inquired its object ; upon Mr. Dillon reading it aloud, The LORD MAYOR said that he would consider of it, and send an answer. On the deputation pressing for an early reply, and offering the card of one of their party, to whom that reply could be sent, The LORD MAYOR said he would look over the signatures, and find some one to whom he would send his answer. He then suddenly raised an objection that the signatures to the requisition had not the addresses attached to_thcm, and that he therefore would not receive it. Mr. Mums stated that the general practice in cases of city requisitions was, as in the present case, to sign the names, and the London companies to which the parties belong. Mr. Dillon also pointed out to the Lord Mayor that the addresses were added to many of the signatures, and requested his Lordship to receive it as the requisition of the parties whose names and addreises were given. The Lord Mayor's reply was, " Take it along and put the addresses ; I'll take no ad dress to me that has not itat the addresses," - The deputation then retired, and having obtained the use of a directory, affixed, so far as they could collect them, and at the great hazard of mistake, the addresses to three out of the five sheets of signatures. Being informed that the Lord Mayor was leaving the. Mansion.house for a court of conservancy, they again went to the justice-room and de livered the requisition. When once more asked for an answer, the Lord• Mayor .replied, "that he would consider and send an answer." He was asked when? He answered abru - , dly, "At my convenience, I cannot say when." When pressed for an early reply, as the matter was urgent, he said, " It was very impertinent." Mr. WANSEY and Mr. TaAvERs now again asked to whom the answer would be sent, as it was desirable, on the ground of convenience to know. His LORDSHIP persisted in refusing to say to whom heshould send his answer, adding, " I shall look over that paper, .and I dare s a y I shall find some respectable man among them to whore my answer can be sent," Mr. DILLON rpplied, " Ther6 are - names here" (pointing J- • to the requisition) " quite as respectable as that of any magis trate of the city of London." The deputation then withdrew. *.* This Report was sent to us by one of the deputation : as the Report sent by our reporter is not materially different, we have preferred to give the one which is authenticated by a person present.—Morning Paper. ROCHESTER. A meeting of the inhabitant — householders, freemen, and eleetore Cf: Rochester, Chatham, Stroud, and their vicinities, v y;.: held yesterday evening, at the City Repository, Roches ter, f or taking purpose of into consideration the propriety or petitioning tag House of Lords in favour of the Municipal CorporatlOi Reform a,. 1 . 1 ; and, notwithstanding the short notice (the meeting baying bee: called only on the previous afternoon), and a trial on the part 017 :he enemy, who issued placards, which were extensively eireulateo, stating that the " meeting wa.3 " unavoidably postponed till furthernotice , the Repository, which is very large, was crowded to overi.'9wil%, and among the assemblage we noticed some of the most ii:- fluential membecs of the Corporation, and many gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood. The meeting was called for seven o'clock, but it was near eight before the chair was taken. On the motion of Mr. PRENTIS, Mr. Alderman THOMSON took the chair amidst loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings of the evening. Mr. FISHER then rose to propose the first Resolution. He had had au opportunity of meeting deputies from all parts of the country, who had assembled for the purpose of consulting upon the subject of Municipal Reform, and of aiding the Mi nister with their advice ; and lie could state that the Municipal Reform Bill was generally, he might say universally, approved by them.—(Cheers.) It was true that some little amendments had been suggested, and these, when submitted to Lord John Russell, were alwa‘ s courteously received, and, in some cases, adopted.—( Hear, hear.) The deputies at that time thought that the Bill was safe, and that little opposition would be of fered to it in the House of Lords—( Hear)—but it seemed that they were deceived—( Cheers)—they did not know what stuff Lords were made of.—( Loud cheering.) The fact was, that Lords moved in a sphere where their minds were apt to take a bias—(Hear, hear)—in short, they did not know what the public opini,:n was.—( Cheers.) His ( Mr. Fisher's) opi nion was, that the 13;j1 was an honest, well-mentioned mea sure—( Hear, hear)—it Wag calculated to correct and prevent abuses.—( Hear.) This was not e Bill of Pains and Penalties. Hear, hear.) It deprived no mai; of his rights.— (Hear.) He considered the Bill as second in impoklance to the Reform Bill alone. He concluded by moving the first Resolution, which was as follows : " That we have hailed with delight and satisfaction the measure recently introduced by his Majesty's Ministers for remedying the abuses of Municipal Corporations, which has passed through the House of Commons without a single division on its principle, and which, in all its essential provisions, has received the sanction of a decided majority of that House." • Mr. EDWARD COTTON seconded the resolution, which was then put from the Chair, and carried amidst loud acclamations. Mr. STEVENS moved the next resolution, which was to the following effect ; " That we have learned with feelings of the utmost regret and astonishment, the determination of the House of Lords to hear evidence at their bar on behalf of the existing Corporations, deem ing, as we cannot but do, such determination equivalent to the in definite postponement, if not the entire rejection of the meanlre." A greater or graver insult never had been offered to the people of England, than had been offered them by the late proceed ings.--(Cheers.) They had allowed a man who was known as one of the most bigotted of this or any other generation, without restraint, and even with encouragement, to load the supporters of this measure with every sort of contumely and abuse.—(Cheers.) They had allowed him to call persons who were in every respect his own superiors, Jacobins, Revo lutionists, Anarchists, and that not only without reprehension, but even with applause.—(Cheers.) And who were tho persons whom he thus abused? Who were the supporters of the Municipal Reform Bill ? They were, in the first place, the King--( Cries of " Hear, hear") ;—next the Ministers of the Crown—( Cheers) ;—next a large majority of the House of Commons—( Renewed cheers) ;—and not only these, but last, not least, an overwhelming majority of the people of the British empire.—( Prolonged cheers.) And who had they on the other side? Who were the oppo nents of the Bill? About 300 Lords, spiritual and temporal. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Which party ought, then, to give way ? He for one would say, that at all events the people should not.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped that they would show that they would not allow themselves to be robbed of their rights by a set of oligarchists, but that they were determined in the words of the celebrated watch-word, which resounded with such effect throughout the whole of England—that they were determined to have " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill."—(Loud cheering.) He concluded by reading the resolution. Mr. DYKE seconded the resolution. The resolution was then carried with loud acclamations. . Captain PUDNER proposed the next resolution; which was that an address, founded on the above resolutions, should be presented to the House of Lords, and that Lord Melbourne be requested to present it.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. RICHARD PRALL seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. A FREEMAN from the crowd then came forward, and stated that he was himself a freeman, and had a son who was near the age of twenty-one, but would willingly give up all his pri vileges if this Bill would pass, because he saw no reason why his other three sons should be deprived of privileges which were allowed to their elder brother.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. PRENTIS then rose to propose the following resolution : " That we feel it incumbent upon us, at the present crisis, to de clare our unabated and unflinching confidence in his Majesty's Mi nisters, and to express our anxious hope that they will not retreat from the posts to which the voice of the country has called them, but will steadily persevere in carrying into full effect those en lightened measures of Reform, which we believe to be alike essen tial to the good government and tranquillity of the empire." Which was seconded by Mr. ELY, and passed amidst loud cheering. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman ; and after great numbers had signed the petition, the meeting, which was a most excellent and spirited one, quietly dispersed. The ex citement upon the subject wac very great. Every one speaks in raptures of the conduct of Lord Melbourne. HALIFAX. On Tuesday, at noon, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Halifax convened by the constables, in consequence of a requisition si g ned by 125 of the principal inhabitants, was held in the Old Assembly Room, for the purpose of considering of the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, unimpaired in any of its essential provisions. The meeting was numerously attended. On the motion of Mr. Samuel Hodgson, John Akroyd, Esq., - the senior constable, was called to the Chair. Mr. JONATHAN AKROYD moved the first resolution. Mr. MICHAEL STOCKS, jun., seconded the resolution, which was then put from the chair and carried unanimously. Mr. SAMUEL HODGSON, in moving the second resolution, hoped the people would be fully alive to the importance of car rying this measure through the House of Lords, in all its length and its breadth ; and insist upon having the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. Mr. G. BEAUMONT seconded the resolution. Mr. J. W. LONSDALE then read the petition which he moved the adoption of, the prayer of which was, that the Hoese of Lords would pass the Municipal Reform Bill then before the House, without impairing any of its material provisions. Mr. Lonsdale prefaced his motion by a few remarks, showing the necessity and extent of the proposed measure of Corporation Reform, the passing of which they were pressing upon the House of Lords. • i v ,`;- . Josn. NICHOLSON, in seconding the petition, said the duty of people was to keep moving, and to bring forth more streßztu as it was wanted. Mr. B. IC golden, Mr. J. Hoatson, and Mr. John Baldwin addressed the mee:.lg• in similar terms. We never observed meeting in which there existed such cordial unanimity. There was not a single discord in the whole of the proceedings to ma' fur a moment the harmony of the meeting. - • _BRADFORD. Oa the same day, at eleven o'clock, p.m., a bl meeting was held at Bradford, in the spacious area connecter, v;ith the, warehouse of Daniel Salt, Esq., to petition the Hot:se et Lords to pass the Corporation Reform Bill now before t.. 1 2` 1 House, without impairing any of its material provisions. The meeting was convened by the coristables,'upon a requisition numerously and respectably signed.. On the motion of Mr. FORBES, the Chair was taken by ELLIS CONLIFFE LISTER, Esq., M.P., who opened the busi ness of the meeting by reading the requisition. Mr. JOHN BROODEN proposed the first resolution, to the effect that that meeting viewed with deep regret the steps taken to delay the Municipal Corporations Bill now before the House of Lords. Mr. FORBES seconded the !Volution, which was to the fol lowing effect : " That the meeting views with regret the :iisposition manifested by the House of Lords to delay the passing of the Municipal Re form Bill, and that it is expedient to petition that Right lion. House to ass the Bill without impairing any of i ts material provisions.'The resolution having been put from the chair, was carried with only one dissentient, amidst loud cheering. The person who dissented held up both his bands against it. A petition to the House of Lords was then mail by gr. Farrar to the same effect, the adoption of which was moved by Mr. Leah. Mr. EDWARD BAINES, jun. (of the Leeds Mercury), who attended by invitation,_ came forward to second the resolution, and was received with cheers. lie was peculiarly pleased to second a resolution which confided their petition to Lord Mel bourne, because that Minister had nobly done his duty to his country, and because all the support of the people would be needed in the situation in which he stood, opposed and menaced in the House of Peers. Ministers had not deserted the people, and he was quite sure the people would not desert them. —( Cheers. ) The petition was ordered to be forwarded to Lord Mel bourne, with a request that he would present it to the House of Lords. The meeting then separated, highly gratified with the satis factory manner in which the business in which they had been engaged was conducted. OTHER YORKSHIRE MEETINGS. Meetings to petition the House of Lords to pass the Muni- cipal Reform Bill are in a course of being held in every part of the 'West Riding of Yorkshire, and the flame will quickly spread through the whole county. In addition to these, the details of which will be found in our present publication, an important and highly respectable meeting was held on Wed nesday (but at too late an hour fir us to state the result), at Wakefield.

Nothing has been talked of here te4layeitcept the at:61110ot strangulation of the Corporation Reform Bill, as indicated by the Tory majority of seventy in the lime of Peel; yesterday morning. There is, perhaps, no town in his / MajesiV s s domi nions more deeply interested than Liverp - Oa t inAbe •uece.s's' of that great remedial measure, and none, perhapi, which i:xhi bits more forcibly the barefaced injustice of tho present 00- pressive and exclusive system of Municipal Government. Evens' individual in this great and flourishing community, unconnected with the self-elected forty-one members who compose the Common Council, is anxiously looking forward to the destruc tion of a system so narrow and selfish in its operation.. The discussion in the House of Peers on Monday was looked to by every one as decisive of the fate of the measure. The greatest excitement prevailed, hardly surpassed by that which existed during the progress of the Reform Bill.

His Serene Highirefs the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen is expected from the Con!ibent in a few days. The Duke is said to be in delicate heaiti.',. and his Majesty has offered him the Pavilion for his residence, whither it is expected his illustrious sister, the Queen, will .accompany him about the 30th inst. The salary of the Governor-Ceneral of India, as fixed by the East India Company, is 20,„:100/. per annum, and the sum of 5,0001. is uniformly voted by ths.' Court of Direc tors as an outfit. The Marquis Wellesley, fu his former ser vices as Governor-General, is allowed by the Company a pen sion of 1,000/. per annum. It has been reported that the Duchess of Berri has within these few days been in Paris for 24 hours. W t : cannot give the least credit to this rumour, which no doubt orignated from her having lately been in Switzerland.—Constitutiorod. Lord Lyndhurst has, from his hearing of Scotcl. l Appeals, acquired some knowledge of the language of our northern neighbours, and he yesterday applied that knowledge in a way not very complimentary to one of his own witnesses. To haver, in Scotch, means to talk foolisol. Having been a good deal tried with a witness from the Corporation of Haver ing-atte-Bower, who had withdrawn, and was not forthcoming when wanted—his Lordship exclaimed, in a peevish tone, " Where is that hovering witness?" Mr. Grantley Berkeley has given notice of a mo tion for the early part of next session, " That the Report of the Select Committee upon the admission of ladies into the gallery of the House of Commons be adopted, and also that there be a call of the House on that occasion." It is calculated that no less than fourteen millions of silk-worms die every year victims to the production of the amount of silk which is consumed for one year in England alone. ----- The Committee of the South Lambeth Reform As sociation intend to call a public meeting on Thursday next ; for the purpose of giving information to all those who have been om itted in the registration lists, how to proceed to secute:their rights, and to furnish them with notices of claims. The Re formers should recollect that next Sunday, the 9th of August, is the last day on which the register will be placed on the church doors. If they wish to preserve their franchise, let them examine the register, and if their names are omitted, send notice to the overseers, on or before the 25th of August. THE REGISTRATION.—AIthough the Tories are everywhere endeavourinj to get " faggot-voters," and people without even a shadow of qualification, on the lists, the reform interest will generally have a decided, and in some instances a very great, majority of new vovs. This is especially the case in tho southern division of CliesNre, and in the adjoining counties of Denbigh and Flint. In - I:;pth of these the majo rities will he triumphant, insomuch that Mr. Bagot, who has got to the bottom of his purse, and who will not, under these circumstances, obtain another grant from the joint stock - of the Carlton Club, must give way to Mr. Biddulph, the late libe ral and independent representative of the county, at the next election. In Flintshire, too, the re-election of the Hon. Lloyd Mostyn is perfectly safe.—Chester Chronicle. It is confidently rumoured•that a small brevet will shortly take place, and also a regulation regarding the different ranks of officers of the line, some of whom have been 20 years Lieut.- Colonels. LITHOTRIPTIC HOSPITAL, FOR THE CURE OF THE STONE WITHOUT INCISION, No. 18, HOLLES-STREET, CA VENDISH-SQUARE, JULY 15, 1835,--Since the last meeting of the Provisional Committee for the establishment of this Insti tution, held on the Ist of July last, two paupers, who had re ceived from subscribers' letters of admission to the Hospital, have been successfully operateti upon. Previous to their dis missal, they were presented this da; at a meeting of the Com mittee, to whom it is most gratifying La be already able to an nounce that the benefits of so valuable an invention are laid open to the poor, through the means of :-he Institution which they, are exerting themselves to establish, aNI for the support and encouragement of which they confidently rely on the humanity and liberality of the public. ABDUCTION OF AN HEIRESS.—A curious cir cumstance has occurred in this city within these few days. A young lady, about 12 years of age, entitled to up e ards of 20,000/., whose parents have for some time lived separate, had been residing with a guardian chosen by her father. The mother, it appears, was desirous of obtaining possession of her person, and employed an attorney of this city, who, with a companion, contrived to allure the young lady from the house where she resided, and immediately placed her in a postchaise, v :hich drove off for • Berkshire. A pursuit ensued, the party were ,:wertaken, the attorney produced a loaded pistol and threatent 71 resistance, but being overpowered he has been brought bac..t to this city and held to bail. In so delicate an affair, and in tli:a stage of the proceedings, we refrain from mentioning names. The attorney will be indicted at the en suing Gloucester sessio.7i.—Bristol Journal. We congratulate our !eforming friends on the fa vourable state of the registta iion in the Rape of Bramber. The Tories, by their silly attempt , tt establishing a miscalled Conservative Association " i n t h,la neighbourhood, roused their opponents to more than ordinary exertions ; and in this town alone there is an increase of about 7 , or 70 in the liberal interest, and the same effect may be trac:d throughout the Rape.—Briyhton Guardian. gilt. on the The payment of the deposit of ten per L.. loan took place this morning (Thursday) at the Bi.ek, and, owing to the precautions taken, without any inconvenien; pres sure on the money-market. No time is yet fixed at which the scrip receipts will be ready, but it is arranged that whatever day may be fixed for the delivery, the transactions in Omniurn be settled on the day following. No vouchers for the payrn e n ,;: have been given at the Bank, and it will be requisite for those r oans whose names are on the list of subscriptions to the loan to fia,l at the cashier's office for their receipts, when proof must also be given, as iii transfers of stock, of their who do not identity. Many persons, intend to part with their scrip, will leave it probably fca' safe custody at the Bank, as was done in former loans, and merely cause the future instalments to be entered in succession as they aiv paid. On the whole, the loan appears, as the city phrase is, tO be " well held," and an unusually small portion of it has con,,eluently come into the general circulation of the stock-marks The brokers complain that they never had so little businOqs, consider in'.- the large amount of the loan, in any former i;ansitetion of the kind. The sentence on Lieutenant Sir James Hay, Bart., Pay- master of the 36th Depot, who was tried by courtmartial at Galway, has been promulgated. He is to leave the service, but with liberty to sell his commission.—Liaterich Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL OF SHIPPING AT Ltvicupoot--By reference to the list of arrivals of vessels at Liverpool, it will be seen that not less than eighty sail came up in one tide ; seventee n of which arc from one port—viz., Quebec, and nine from other ports in British America, all timber laden: thus making , a total import of twentyrfive car- F oes of timber in one day. This wo belie‘, - e to be unparalleled in the annals of the good old town. 'Lug. E. J. chard .1. It. IN I ,;
