LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1835. The difficulties which Ministers fondly imagine they have got rid of, they will find but too soon they have increased a hundred-fold, by their concessions to the amendments of the House of Lords—concessions which the country, when it has recovered from the first shock of surprise, will look on in no other light than as a sheer juggling compromise. From the phrase '• resolution," which Mr. SPRING RICE put forth with such parade the other night, and the indirect threats which Lord J. RUSSELL paraded with equal ostentation, the country was prepared for a decided stand on the part of Ministers, on the main principles of the Corporation Bill. It could never have dreamed for an instant that such a show of valour was meant merely as a screen for cowardice. It felt convinced that long and painful experience had at length opened the eyes of the Whigs to a sense of their true position; and taught them the folly—the madness—of truck ling to a faction, which, so far from being ap peased by concessions, is in reality furnished by them with fresh means of annoyance. But recent events have shown the folly of such a conviction. The more the Tories kick, bully,, and trample on this spa niel party, the more disposed it feels to lick the dust beneath their feet. Look at its present position. Can anything be more abject ? Notwithstanding it mad cry of " 'Stop the supplies," by which it was preceded. The presence, of Sir Rob e rt P ee l, t oo , wh o s e t a l e nts and experience . ent additional dignity to their proceedings, was a fortunate circumstance for the House and fir the country at this pa tticular time. It will be seen that to a certain extent , h' 4 w en t a l ong w i t h th e propositions o f L or d J o h n Russell, which happily left open the door to concilia tion, ..bough they vent farther than the House of Lords could be fairly expected to follow. For the propositions of Lord John Russell we refer to the report, as also for the qualifi cations of Sir Robert Peel. Nothing could be more conci liating, nothing more statesmanlike, than the views inculcated by the Right Hon. Baronet in this trying juncture, when the feelings of both parties are, perhaps, too strongly excited. It is evident that if the House of Lords act upon his sugges tions, a compromise will be effected between the two Houses, which it must be the wish of every good subject to see carried into operation. As there is every reason to conclude that, at all events, a majority of their Lordships will do so, we may say—not as Mr. O'Connell said—that the crisis was begun, lbut that the crisis has concluded. It is well to see so serious a matter as a misunderstanding between two branches of the Legislature in progress towards an adjustment, and that it is so, we believe all who read the debate will join with us in thinking. We need not inculcate upon our readers the im portance of the debate to which our remarks are directed. The temper of the country, and the state of every man's in dividual feelings may, in this instance at least, be left to themselves.—Morning Herald. Well, the collision has appeared before the Comet, and if that fiery meteor do not portend worse consequences to the Constitution of England than the exhibition in the House of Commons on Monday night, there is less chance than some imagine of our imitating the grovelling days, " When Bradshaw bullied in abroad-brim hat." After all the meetings of the people—after all the valiant threats and " strong" resolutions—after the menace of the vestries, and the more awful and mysterious murmurs of the Ministers--after the demand by the Radicals from the Govern.. ment that the Supplies should be at least placed in the power of the Commons, and the virtual promise of the Government, in answer to the Radicals, that this great precautionary step should be taken—what has happened ? Why, that the same Ministers and the same Radicals h.-A e swal lowed every important amendment of the Peers with out a struggle, save in one point—the continuance of their worships the Aldermen. The, political and proprietary rights of the freemen of England, to destroy which the Ministers twice appealed to the House of Commons, and succeeded in their object, by the votes of the Irish Papists, are retained; although Lord Melbourne characterized this consti tutional amendment of the Peers as the most injurious of all their propositions, and thought it necessary at the very tenth hour in the House of Lords again to declare his invincible aversion to its ratification ; yet these great and noble efforts of Lord Lyndhurst and his brother Peers in favour of the rights and liberties, and property of a vast portion of their fellow-subjects are now supported and seconded in the House of Commons even without a murmur. Who shall hereafter ask the "use" of the Lords? Again, the great principle of qualification so violently repudiated by that party in the Commons who owe their support in so great a degree to the needy and insolvent, is recognized and submitted to in the same House of Commons without a division. And will any one hereafter ask the " use " of the Lords ? In short, there appear to us to be only three propositions of the Peers of any magnitude to which the Ministers finally object. The first of these, which relates to the toll-exemption of the freemen, may be easily settled by compensation : the second, relating to the distribution of Church patronage by the Dissenters, will probably be ma naged in a way not injurious to the Church ; against the third, which regards the retention of the aldermen and town-clerks for life, the Government is disposed to raake a stand, because Sir Robert Peel, the leader of the Conservatives of England, combining the quality of firmness with the desire of concilia tion, does not think it necessary to contend for a life tenure of office in the aldermen, when the humbled Whigs and Radicals offer to give a six years' lease.—Morning Post.

Why, to prostrate themselves at the feet of their worst enemy, Sir R. PEEL ; and con descend—yes, actually condescend I—to express their unfeigned gratitude to him for having hurried up from the country to lend them his support ; while he, in turn, with exquisite irony, confesses that he has come to town for no other purpose 1 And at what pe riod is it that the Whigs play this fawniirg, syco phantic game ? Is it at a time • when they are de ficient in influence ? No, but when moral and nu merical strength are both with them ; when they com mand a majority in Parliament, and have, besides, the population of three kingdoms to back them ! Had they stood firm to their post, the worst that could pos sibly have happened, would have been the postpone ment of the Corporation Bill„ to another Session, when it would have been passed in all its integrity ; but no ; they were frightened—" scared at the sound themselves had made,"—and preferred rather to accept a present emasculated, than grant a future efficient, Municipal Bill. This is grievous blun dering—to say the least of it—whose first imme diate result will be, to convince the people that henceforth they must look only to themselves for succour. 'Whig cannot—Tory will not, help them. Both have grown old in an old system. Both are superannuated. Both, therefore, require to be put hors de combat. We have been governed hitherto by one, out of two, aristocratic parties ; but henceforth we must be governed by rulers of our own choice— men who, springing from ourselve§, and having no in terests incompatible with ours, can have no inducements to blind or betray us. Within the last few days we have been miserably deceived. Where we were taught to expect " resolution," we have met with intrigue ; and, sorry are we to say, that even Mr. O'CoNNELL himself is not altogether free from the charge of having deserted us. If ever man was ex pected and called on, to play a decided part, on the present occasion, he was that man. For years past, he has enjoyed no other reputation than what he pos sessed as being the people's friend. He has been the prime agitator in the cause of Constitutional Liberty— he is the Representative of Ireland—the man whom the Lords have, night after night, treated with a scorn and an abhorrence that would have broken the heart of such a sensitive individual as CANNING— it is owing to him, and him only, that their Lordships threw out the Irish Tithe and Constabulary Bills : yet what, thus insulted, is his course of conduct? Why, forsooth, to recommend conciliation and submission to that very House which he has spent the best part of a long life in vilifying. We profess not to under stand the present bearing of this once red-hot Radical. Is he qualifying for the sobrieties of office ? Is he going through a cleansing course of Whig sub serviency, so as to purge himself of all demo cratic impurities ; which task accomplished, he shall take the Irish Secretaryship from his locum tenens, Lord MORPETH ? Is this the clue to the strange game he is now playing ? If so, he cannot long con ceal it, and possibly may find that his intrigues are exposed, long before lie dines with the reformers of Edinburgh and Glasgow. To return to the Ministry. Rightly does the Bir mingham Council say of them, "if they surrender, never again can they command or look for the sup port of the people." Well, they have surrendered, and what will be the consequence ? First, the re organization of Political Unions in all parts of the Kingdom ; secondly, the loss for ever of what ever popularity the Whigs have hitherto enjoyed Such is, and such ever will •be, the lot of those who sacrifice consistency. to place. It would not at all surprise us, were another Tory coup detat to take place in November ; in which case the Whigs can no longer expect to be hoisted back into office on the shoulders of the people ; for that support they have wholly forfeited by :heir conduct at the end of a Ses sion, during which, though much has been promised, little or nothing has been performed. The " Qualification" Clause was the chief subject, of discussion in the House of Commons yesterday. By the original Bill no qualification, beyond that of being a rate-payer, was required for holding the office of Councillor. The House of Commons, some three weeks ago, were of opinion that any other qualifiCation than that was not only unnecessary, but would be highly pernicious. It was deemed unnecessary, because the whole measure being founded on the supposition that the inhabitants of :boroughs were fit to be entrusted with the management. of their own affairs, it was to - be presumed that they would select none but proper persons to fill offices of responsibility ; and pernicious, because it would exclude from such offices many men whose services might be highly valuable, while it would also tend to excite jealousies and heart-burn ings, by creating a privileged class of rate-payers in every town. The Lords have enlightened the minds of the Commons upon this point. Their Lordships said it was quite monstrous to think of a Corporation Bill without a qualification, and accord ingly fixed a pretty stiff one. They added a clause ordaining that the Councillors should be selected from a small portion—one-sixth—of the rate-payers who were rated the highest, which clause they afterwards stultified by superadding another, establishing a pro perty qualification of 1,0001. in towns divided into four wards, and 500/. in those with a smaller number. There is no doubt that this was done to give the Com mons a choice—that is to say, a choice of two evils, either of which would suit their Lordships' views well enough. Lord JOHN RUSSELL makes a merit of rejecting the first of these amendments, and adopts the last. If there be any difference between them, we think he chose rightly; but he ought to have rejected both. Instead of following this manly and decided course, which would have had the approbation of every sincere Reformer in the country ; he succumbs to the arrogant domination of the " old scotched and writhing dragons of the aristocracy," (as that infamous apostate the Times used to call the Lords ;) first crawls through the mire himself, and then drags his sup porters in the House of Commons after him, both objects of pity to their friends, and of de rision to their enemies. What, we ask, must the country think when it sees th e H ouse o f Com mons, after so lately declaring its solemn de termination that there should be no qualification, now submitting to the degradation of having its own words crammed down its throat by the " Upper" House. But not the least edifying part of this spectacle was the interference of Sir ROBERT PEEL in behalf of the people. When Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed that the qualification should be agreed to, the Right Honourable Baronet suggested that there should be another qualification dependent on rating—a thought which seems never to have occurred to the conductors of the Bill. " Oh, by all means," says Lord JOHN, " let us have a rating of 401. in the larger towns, and 201. in the smaller ones." " No" replies Sir ROBERT, " that wont do, that's too high, let it be 301. and 151." "Agreed," rejoins the protector of the popular interests I This is an improvement, and we are indebted for it solely to the Right Hon. Baronet. A few Members, mach to their' honour, divided the House on the question, whether the rating qualification should not be reduced to 10/. in every case. Against this reduc tion the Tories combined with the Whigs. Thirty. seven "Members voted for it. It was next decided that a " declaration" by a coup. cillor at the time of his election should be a sufficient proof of his possessing the property qualificatio n . But as this appeared to Recorder LAW to get rid, by a side wind, of the qualification altogether, the discussion of the subject was postponed, in order to givt time far framing a clause that should provide some means of ascertaining the possession of the qualification during the whole period of ofEce. The town clerks, we are glad to see, are to be c3nti nued during pleasure, not for life. The amendment taking from council the nomination Of the Magistrates is not to be agreed to ; and it is likely that the test clause will be disposed of by the introduction of a provision compelling Corporations to sell their Church patronage. Lord JOHN RUSSELL boasted, that if these con cessions did not satisfy the Lords, he would insist on the entire Bill I These flashes in the pan are really laughable. 'The Appropriation Clause or Bill was attempted to be advanced another stage last night at a late hour ; but, on the remonstrance of Mr. HUME, it was post poned till this evening. Mr. HUME . very justly complained that the Appropriation clause was voted on Monday night at a late hour, when there were few Members in the House. This, to say the least of it, was stealing a march on those Represen tatives who were bound by the advice of their consti tuents to defer the Supplies, until they ascertained the fate of the -Municipal Reform Bill. As that Bill is likely to be burked to all intents and purposes, we cannot but think that Mr. SPRING RICE ought to have waited a little longer—more especially after his own threats upon this subject a few clays ago. But it would seem that the times are changed, and it may be that other things will be changed before long, when certain parties least expect it. If not too late, we would implore Ministers to put their faith in the people, and not in their political enemies—the Tories—'ere repentance come too late ! The Sup plies once granted, where are the Ministers ? At the tender mercy of their foes. But if the Supplies be granted for three or four months, no damage will be done to the public service, nor would any patriot desire it ; and, in the meantime, Parliament can re-assemble and vote the Supplies for the remainder of the year, taking care, at the same time, to insure the passing of the Corporation Reform Bill in all its integrity. At a Meeting of the " Loyal Orange Institution," held yesterday, the Duke of CUMBERLA ND expressed, in warm terms, his apprehensions that there was " a traitor in the camp somewhere"—a convincing proof that there are certain secrets in that camp, which will not bear the broad light of day being let in upon them. If the Orange Lodge has nothing to be ashamed of, why should it shrink thus sensitively from publicity ? His Royal Highness afterwards proceeded to quote some remarks addressed by his MAJESTY, the other day, to Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE, to the effect, that he (the Prince) should remember that his family is Protestant, and that he is called upon " to defend the Established Church —to maintain inviolate the rights, properties, and privileges of the people." The. Duke laid great stress on the words " Established Church," as if his MAJESTY meant thereby to imply a desire that its abuses should be preserved : whereas the words plainly signify a wish that the abuses should be removed, for thus only can the " Established Church" be defended. Some angry discussion took place in the House of COmmons on Friday evening, on the subject of the Danish claims, and we are surprised that none of the Members stated the real facts of the case to the House. In another part of our Paper will be found articles from several of our Contemporaries on this subject. The deputation was principally on behalf of Shipping cases, and not for book debts, as stated in a „Morning paper. We can only repeat what we formerly stated, that it is not equitable or just to make any in vidious distinction in regard to these claims, and we trust that Members representing the Shipping interest, will do their duty, and that his Majesty's Government will yet come to the conclusion of liquidating all bona fide claims. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Monday, together with intelligence from Madrid to the 23d instant. They contain no news of any im portance, unless the opinions of the Press on the deci sion of the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, be thought particularly interesting. The political horizon of France begins to present a dark and lowering aspect. Nothing is talked of but plots and conspiracies, either against the KING or th e Ch arter . Th e prese n t posi tion of LOUIS PHILLIPPE is far from being an enviable He begins to suspect the fidelity of the instru ments of his tyranny, and unfortunately he cannot re place them by men more worthy of his confidence. The Press, which was heretofore divided, begins to make a common cause ; and the Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, by throwing. itself into the arms of the people, endangers the safety of the Government, if not the stability of the Throne itself. The Paris Evening Papers of Monday contain a report of the sudden disappearance of M. GISQUET, the Prefect of the Police. It appears from the state ment in these journals that M. GISQUET was in his office early on Monday morning, surrounded by a number of his emissaries, when some disclosures were made, which compelled him to start to his feet, protest against signing any of the documents before him, and after ordering his carriage, drive no one knows whither. The proceeding, if correctly reported, is mysterious ; but why should M. GISQUET be alarmed at the exorbitance of any demand made upon him by the Government of Louts PHILLIPPE? What matters it about the means if the end be the same ? To shed blood may be frightful ; but in the case of a Government, we hold the dagger to be a less objectionable instrument for getting rid of a troublesome subject than the rope. Its corrupting influence is by no means so extensive. In the arrivals from Madrid, we find the following copy of the order of the day, signed by LATRE, the Captain-General one. DON MANUEL LATRE, CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF NEW CASTILE, &C. " This is to make known to the public, that by Royal order, dated 16th of this month, the Plaza of Madrid is declared in a state of siege. Empowered by this declaration, I command as follows : " 1. That all military patrols and rounds either of police or the agents of justice, shall arrest and place at the disposition of the Military Commission, all persons who shall be found in the streets bearing arms of any kind without being authorised to do so. " 2. That the same shall intimate to groups and meetings where voices or movements give rise to suspicion, to se parate without delay; and that if they are not obeyed at the first notice, they shall arrest and conduct them before the Military Commission, where they shall be adjudged as criminals and promoters of disorder. They shall act in like manner to all suspicious groups composed of more than three persons who are armed, no matter what class or condition they may be. From this shall be excepted only military persons acting under orders and appointed for that purpose by their superior officers. "3. In cases of mutiny and riot, all persons found in the place of the tumult shall be considered as perpetrators of the act if they do not obey the first order for dispersing. "4. Likewise are declared criminal, subject to capital pu nishment, those who may be taken in said riots and tumults, who shall make use of prohibited arms, or indulge in notoriously subversive cries. " 5. All cries of ' Vivas' or ' Death,' of whatever denomi nation, are further prohibited, and those using them shall be considered as common disturbers. " 6. In all cases of riot, tumult, or other alarm, the Mili tary Commission will meet and constitute itself in the usual place of session, and shall be permanent until the disturbance is at an end. " The said Commission shall judge briefly and summarily :he criminals placed at their disposition, and put their sen :ences into immediate execution. " Her Majesty, in commanding this terrible (terrible) mea sure which this proclamation indicates, has been pleased to de clare that it shall only be in force until order and the public tranquillity are restored. Let it be hoped, therefore, that the said necessity will speedily cease, if the good inhabitants of Ma drid feel in their hearts one conservative principle of the love of their country, and unite with me to restore to this beautiful capital the tranquillity which for some days has been inter. rupted, and if they view with the due horror the dreadful crimes of burnings and assassinat'ons, , o that in a short time the idea of them will be unknown in our unhappy country. " Madrid, Aug. 19, 1835 MA N UEL LATRE. The following are from the papers : " A courier, who left Madrid on the 23d. say s , as h e passed through B or d eaux , th a t he learned on passing through Arragon, that General Guerea had an action with the Carlists, (whose entrance into that province we lately announced) in which he took five hundred prisoners, and twenty-seven loads of money. " A convent of Monks, who unpha;mily protected th e Car lists on their p assage , and procured them 100 muskets, was burnt, and all the Monks massacred. " At the moment of our writing, says the Indicateur,if the rebels have not reached the French Fronl o cr, and escaped, they have infallibly fallen into the hands of the Queen's troops, for they were surrounded on every other side." This news is confirmed by the following letter :-- " JACA, Au0.,23.—A letter received this morning informs us that there have been taken from the rebels who went from Navarre into Aragon, thirty-five loads of ammunition, and twenty-seven loads 9f gold and silver, which they took from the churches of Huesca and other places. They are said to have had many killed and taken prisoners. The details are not known. Guera has written to Viscount Costelli, Colonel of the Militia of Upper Arragon, to take all measures to guard the posts on the mountains. It is thought that no Carlist will be able to quit Arragon." - FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, AUGUST 31. Five per Cents., 109 f. '7oc. 65c. 60c. 70c. 65c. Four and a Half per Cents., 102 f. 25c.

TUESDAY EVENING, Half-past Seven o'clock. In a few hours after the arrival of The Sun Newspaper this morning, the leading members of the Council met and resolved upon calling an immediate meeting. Summonses were issued for five o'clock, and at the appointed time nearly the whole of the members were in attendance. Mr. iquNTz having been called to the Chair, Mr. B. HADLEy said the meeting was called for the purpose of considering the extraordinary conduct of the Ministry with respect to the Corporation Bill. It appeared Ministers were about to surrender.—(Cries of " No, no ! it's impossible.") Yes, he was sorry to say it was possible for them to surrender. Indeed, if the accounts received that morning could be cre dited, they had surrendered.—( Shame.) Lord John Russell had consented to give up the qualification clause, and, in point of fact, all the essential parts of the Bill. He positively de clared he could not trust himself to speak upon such base and unmanly truckling.—(Cheers.) The people, however, must not despair, because, despite of either the Peers or the Ministry, justice would and must eventually be done to the people. He hoped that their representatives would not consent to the infamous mutilations made in the Corporation Bill, and be lieving as he did that they would not surrender, he should pro pose that they be written to by the first post, requesting them to stand alone, if it must be, in their opposition to the amendments. Several other persons addressed the meeting, and a letter to the effect proposed by Mr. Hadley was drawn up and sent by the mail. The Morning Papers have not yet arrived, and all is still in suspense. Never were men looked to with greater anxiety than the present Ministers. If they surren der, never again can they command or look for the support of the people. The Political Unions are reviving in all parts of this district. The following is a copy of a very large Placard, printed on three sheets of paper, which has been posted on the walls of Birmingham, and those of the surrounding districts : FELLOW COUNTRYMEN! THE TIME IS COME! THE CRISIS DESPERATE!! sIIALL PARLIAMENTARY SUMM4RY. In the Loans', on motions of the Duke of RICHMOND, the Tithes Recovery Bill, and the Tithes on Turnips Bill were passed. The Cruelty to Animals Bill, the Slave Trade (Sardinia), and the Slave Trade Treaty (Denmark) Bills respectively passed through Committee, and the Report of the Capital Punishments Bill was received. Lord BROUGHAM noticed' the amendments made in the Patents Law Bill. He regretted the alterations, and moved that their Lordsl , ips do apply for a Conference on the subject. After some Bills had been brought up from the Commons, the Marquis of LONDON DERRY introduced the subject of the. Dublin Police Bill, ad ducing the copy of a letter addressed by the Hon. Member for Dublin to the Glasgow Committee, as a valid argument against passing this most beneficial measure for the people of Ireland. The Bill was read a second time, after some sharp conversation. The Commons' amendments to the Oaths Abolition Bill were then agreed to, and the House adjourned. In the COMMONS', upon the presentation of a great many petitions, praying the House not to sanction the mutila tion of their Municipal Reform Bill, Mr. CLAY took occasion to observe that " he was sorry the Ministry had gone so far in a compromise." The petition from Leicester, signed by 90,000 persons, expressed, in common with the other peti tions, disgust and indignation at the conduct of the hereditary lawmakers. In answer to a question on the Scotch Church Commission, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was not his in tention to alter the Commidsion i and that the representations which had been mad e u p on th e subject were proved to be wholly unworthy of consideration. The House then resumed the consideration of the Municipal Corporations Bill, and, after some important discussion on the qualification clause, divided, when there appeared for the amendment 167; against it 53—majority 114. Several other amendments were succes sively carried. The further consideration of the Bill was post poned till to-day, when the amendment of the Lords relative to Dissenters presenting to livings of the Established Church will be discussed. The Militia Pay Bill went through Committee, and the Shannon Niviaation Bill was passed. In the Committee on the Irish Tithe Instalment Suspension Bill a personal dispute took place. Sir H. HARDINGE was at his valiant work again. Few will dispute the truth of Mr. H. GRATTAN'S assertion, that " the Gallant Officer is another instance, of the absurdity of the notion that good sol diers make good statesmen." The Report of the Committee on the Appropriation Bill was postponed. The exculpatory Report of the Committee on General DARLING'S case was brought up, and ordered to be printed; after which the House adjourned. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, SEPT.

They state that the Cotton Market had taken a most unex pected rise in consequence of the failure of the crops, which had been expected to be larger than usual. Very few boats had arrived from the Northern provinces, and little more than a month's stock would remain before the commencement of the monsoon ; and it was generally feared that no more than 40,000 bales altogether would be received for the supply of China and Great Britain. The stock of Cotton there generally amounts to 12,000 or 15,000 bales : at present it does not exceed 1,000 in first hands. THE FUNDS.

At our last annual meeting it was unanimously resolved, that the operations of the Union should be suspended; giving power to the President and Secretary to call a special meeting of the Council in case of any political emergency. When we consider the conduct of our hereditary wise Le gislators, in mutilating the Municipal Reform Bill ; in de stroying the Irish Church Bill; in opposing every measure passed by the Commons, at all calculated to benefit the peo ple, and when we take into account the general infatuation of the Tories, (the would-be called Conservatives ; but who are the real Destructives ;) the formation of Orange Lodges in the army, the systematic attempt to cause agitation throughout the kingdom to the ruin of trade, and, which if persisted in, will ultimately bring about a revolution alike destructive to the aristocracy, the altar, and the throne; we are compelled to say that the present is a period of political emergency, when every man who values his liberty, his property, or his life, " ought to speak out." We, therefore, urged by repeated applications from various Members, and by our own sense of duty do hereby call a special general meeting of the Council, to be held at the Union Rooms, on Tuesday evening next, at six o'clock pre cisely, and we request all those members of the Union, and friends of Reform, who can make it convenient, to be present. W. JACKSON, President. S. REEVES, Secretary. Aug. 28, 1835, WOLVERHAMPTON. On Monday last a numerous and highly respectable meet ing of the inhabitants was held in the above town, to take into consideration the conduct of the Lords with respect to the Corporation Bill. A requisition, signed by upwards of fifty of the most respectable gentlemen of the place, was pre sented to the constables, requesting them to convene the meeting. These good Tory souls, after taking 24 hours to consider how far they could consent to assist in destroying the corporate nests of corruption, came at last to the sapient conclusion, that they (lid nut see the necessity for calling the meeting, and accordingly declined doing so. The requisitionists, however, who could see the necessity for such a meeting, issued a spirited placard, requesting the inhabitants to meet them at the Public-office on Monday last. The call was responded to, and at two o'clock, the ap pointed hour, the building was crowded to excess. Richard Fryer, Esq., banker, and one of the late representa tives of the borough, was called to the Chair; upon which a general cry of adjourn was raised. The Chair man immediately consented, and proceeded to the Pe acoc k Inn, in front of which it was resolved to hold the meeting. At half-past two o'clock, there being not less than between 3,000 and 4,000 persons assembled, the Chairman opened the business in a long and sensible speech. He said the meet ing wa-s called to consider the reasons advanced by the House of Lords in justification of their conduct, with respect to sevsral Bills which had been sent up from the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) The first Bill which they had to consider was the Corporation Bill, and in order to afford to the meeting an opportunity of coming to a rational conclusion upon that subject, he would briefly refer to the principle of that Bill. At present the people of many large and wealthy towns and cities were governed by few men. These men had immense sums of money at their disposal, all of which, by the by, was the money of the public—because left ex pressly for the benefit of the public.—( Hear, hear, hear.) They met annually or whenever they pleased ; elected and re-elected one another, to the total exclusion of every man whom they considered incapable of lending him self to their mode of governing and disposing of the public funds. Now the Bill passed by the House of Commons went to take away this unjust power out of the hands of these men, and to place it in the hands of the people. In a word, it was a Bill to enable the people to govern themselves, in place of being governed by a handful' of self-elected men.—( Loud cheers.) Was there, he would ask, anything more reasonable —( Cries of " No,")—and yet the Lords had the hardihood to all but reject that Bill. The Speaker next adverted to the Irish Church Bill, which they had thrown out. They were not willing that the clergy should receive some 20 per cent. less than they demanded, when, in point of fact, their refusing to allow them to receive that sum amounted to a refusal of any support at all for the clergy, They said it was robbery to ap ply a portion of the Church property to educate the people.— ( Shame)—although by all laws, human and divine, the clergy were bound to educate the people. Little, however, need be said upon that act of their Lordships. The time would come when they would be very glad to get 70 per cent. secured to the clergy by Act of Parliament.--( Cheers. ) The House of Lords had also thrown out the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, and why so ? Because it went to compel their Lordships to pay their debts the same as other men. Taking their conduct altogether, it was bad, and he regretted it be cause it would have the effect of alienating the affections of the people from that branch of the Legislature for which he once entertained a respect. Mr. WALKER moved the first resolution (for which see ad vertisement) and in doing so entered fully into the nature and abuses of the old system of Corporations, dwelling particu larly upon the disgraceful manner in which the charity and other funds had been, from time to time, expended by these bodies in returning Tory Members to Parliament. But it had been asked, were the Lords created, and did they exist only for the purpose of registering the votes of the House of Com mons? He would answer that question by asking another— Were they created, or did they exist for the purpose of inter fering with, and destroying the rights and liberties of the people ? Did the Bill now under consideration do more than give the people their just rights ?—( No, no.) Then if it did not, and that the Lords opposed it for their own purposes, the people had the remedy in their own hands, and he hoped they would exercise it.—( Loud cheering.) The Constitution expressly declared, that whatever other privileges the Peers possessed, they ss ere not to interfere in money matters.—( Renewed cheering). There the people were all powerful when in the hands of honest Representatives. The Rev. Mr. ROLFE, Unitarian minister, came forward to second the resolution, and aas received with loud cheering. In coming before them on that occasion he hoped he was se cure from the soldiers. He knew it had been said that it was great blessing to have the soldiers to protect them from their own acts.—( Shame.) But to be serious, he had hoped when the great struggle for the Reform Bill was over, that the people had only to .express their wishes through their Representatives, and that laws would accordingly be enacted suitable to the wants of the people. He thought the Lords, after the experience which they had on that occasion, would see the folly of contending with the people, and would quietly allots them to govern themselves. It appeared he was mistaken for they were just in the same position as before the passing - of that measure. As yet the people had got nothing in bs way of Reform, an - I he WPS quite sure they never would. until the Lords were reformed.—(Tremendous che ering.) As the system stood at present, it was perfect folly for the people to send up Representatives, and the present meetin g was called to see, under such circumstances, what was Pe to be done. As a Dissenter, he protested against te e amendment of their Lordships which prevented him from /. 3 ' terfering in the local government of the town in which he might reside. As long as he paid tithes and taxes, be should demand the right of voting upon all questions affecting his interest.—( Cheers.) The amendments, as they were termed, in this Bill, and the whole of their Lordships' legis lation, were a part and parcel of the system of hereditary ru ling. The people, to a certain extent, were in consistent in blaming their Lordship. They gave them power to legislate, and they ought not to blame them for using it. For his part, he would not give them the power.--( Cheers.) It Mr. STEPHENSON HUNTER moved the next resolution. might be said that they wished to abolish the House of Lords' for his part he would only say that so long as-Toryism existed' and that he was opposed to it, he never could wish to sec t i:e Peers done away with, because he believed that the heino us-. ness of that system could not be so clearly exhibited as by the conduct of the Lords.--( Cheers.) Was there ever any thing so bad as their conduct towards the Irish clergy ? They re fused them 75 per cent., thereby reducing them to starvation, and yet they talked of upholding the Church ! There was' however, but one cure for this perverse obstinacy. If the Lords and Ladies of the realm were detormined on standing in t he way of the people, the people must only stand a little in the way of their pensions and salaries.—(Cheers.) The peop le's Representatives must hold the people's money until justice be done to them.—( Cheers.) Mr. BOLTON, in a short speech, seconded the resolution , A Mr. RICHARD FRYER moved the petition, which was carr ied with applause. The Rev. T. M. M'DoNNELL, of Birmingham, was novr loudly called for, and that gentleman, on coming forward, w as received with loud and continued cheering, after v7hich he de livered a very eloquent and animated speech. Several other persons also addressed the meeting, after which a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the people separated in the most peaceable and orderly manner. FROME PETITION. We have received a spirited letter from Mr. Brown. Chair man of the Public Meeting in favour of th- Corporation Ile' form Bill s which was held the other day at Frome, and ": attended by upwards of 3,000 Reformers, expressing his rer e. and surprise that in our Monday evening Parliamentary port, we stated that the Meeting was against, instead of inJ a your, of the Bill in question. The error was wholly accident al on our part--being in fact a mistake of the printer, committ ed in the hurry of the moment, and we gladly take this oo3 ol ' tunity of rectifying it. The following is the Frome Petition, which is worthy of the independent Reformers of that town That your Petitioners regard with considerable alarm th e course pursued by one of the branches of the Legislature, in i i fi pairing, and thereby virtually rejecting, the English Municipal a .- Irish Church Reform Bills. " That your Petitioners entertain the most sincere co nfidenc e in the present Ministry : a confidence especially confi r med by ti le r tone and language held in your Honourable H o u s e on the night ° Friday the 21st of this month, with regard to postponing the &Or e ; priatien of Supplies until a prospect of the redress of grievan ce should be thoroughly secured. Th a t your Petitioners respectfully and earnestly entreat you t° take all such measures for this purpose as the occasi o n may requ ire and the constitution warrant ; so that every abuse may be slii; pressed, and good government p r eserved, th roug h ou t the tilt kingdoms. . . _ " And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c." CORPORATION REFORM BILL- TOWER HAMLETS. A very numerous meeting of the electors and inhabitants of the borough of the Tower Hamlets was held on Monday, ur n Stepney-green. Full five thousand persons. attended th e meeting. Mr. SIMPSON (of HaCkney) was unanimously called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN commented upon the importance of the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, by which the attention the public had been so long occupied, and adverted to the it jury its most important provisions were likely to experience , JP consequence of the amendments it had received in its laass a ir, through the House of Lords. He trusted that the House Commons would never agree to the Bill in its present sta te ' deprived as it was of all its essential principles.—( Cheers.) Mr. OPPENHEIM (the Secretary)' then read several letters: which had been received from various Members of Parliament' who had been invited to attend the meeting : Dr. LushingWe and Mr. Hume fully concurred in the sentiments and purr s a of the meeting, and excused their attendance upon the gr, that their presence was required either at or near the ow" of Commons during the day, upon urgent official business. , Mr. R. ASPLAND proposeet the first resolution, expressing A the alarm and indignation felt I.y the meeting at the disreg s o 4 which the House of Lords had p t aid to the just wishes 4 0 prayers of the people, by renderrog the Corporation Re fe r Bill a convenient instrument for unconstitutional and corroPf practices.

The history of the Corporation Reform P l _ s was familiar to every one. It had been conceived and kayo; by one of the wisest and most patriotic of Cabinets. Bill had been received by the House of Commons, and eVet t the leader of the Tories had bowed to it with submission, with, out departing for one moment from the principle it adran e d , —( Cheers ) From the House of Commons the Bill Was ried into the House of Lords, which was doomed to be i 0 di d secting-room ; for there it had been cut up in piece-meal had its very heart plucked out. In ord er t o p re serve Oa resemblace to its original form, the putrid limbs of rotten b v .. , roughs, and the corrupt members of the most corrupt corP,c ts ,' rations had been supplied to it; and thus mangled, and in present shape, it had been sent back to the House of Cc":, mons a body of sin and death.—( Cheers.) The Renres e D tatives of the people of England, he was persuaded, We a n i never acknowledge this changeling as their child, but sea it back again to the House of Lords, for every membe r v , that House to take back his contribution.—( Cheers.) ta r the Duke of Newcastle it should go for its oepression , Lord Kenyon for its intolerance, and to Lord Lyndhurst r: its insincerity. The principles of the English Constitutl; he felt were violated in the additions made to the Bill bY re e . Lords.

The intolerance of the Bill, in its Preto state, was another grand objection against it. It was ca 3 kn ' t b, lated to set the Churchman against the Dissenter, and "' o f against the Catholic. Pursuing this principle, the very ar, be had recently been cut up into religious societies, to turn sword against the conscience of the people, But the Noos e :- Lords had shown themselves " wise in th e ir d a y a nd gen e ,": o tion." They had found pleaders to abuse the Bill in all ii " as t terms which an Oxford education could su pply. They to heard evidence, and thus constituted themselves judges sl it s the principle of the Bill ; but, h e o bs erve d, th a t t o be PIO in the full acceptation of the term, they themselves sh o be just.—( Cheering.) What was their justice ? The evidersci they had heard was from those accused of robbery, who • 0 , declared themselves the very patterns of purity and perfectlaa, Throughout the whole of the mutilations which the CorPl e „ tion Bill had experienced, he could disting no s uish but one sign, which was against the liberties of th e people : but i 'so hand, which was employed to but c he r , w h en it pretendeoi is heal.—( Cheers ) Was th e Bill, h e as k e d, t o b e pass eu t ee its present state ; and was it thus to be recorded uPt'a_ er statute-book of England, that Dissenters were not to be iaos i trusted with Ideal government ? W e r e the pe o ple of Eng' 0 , prepared to say this ?—( Cries of " no, no.") If it were , then he said the Reform Bill its e lf m i g ht b e forthvvith bp pealed, or so amended, that no one would know it. We have new wars in support of the Bourbons; gagging b an d might be passed ; the liberty of the Press restricted; Ireland herself bedewed with blood.—(Cheers.)
