The subject of the Newspaper Stamp Duty is to be discussed in the House of Commons to-night. Mr. E. L. Bur, wErt, to whom the public is deeply indebted for his persevering exertions to relieve know ledge from the clog which hampers its movements and limits its circulation, tal:es the lead on this as on former occasions. The question, important as it is in itself, has acquired no small addi tional interest from the tergiversation of Mr. S. RICE, who co ingloriously deserted his colours on the night of the Budget. The mover, a man of distinguished talents, and smarting under a sense of ill-treatment from the Government, at whose particular request he has repeatedly put off the present motion, is, it may he suppsed, prepared to enter the lists against the backsliding CHANCELLOR of the ExcHEQuEit, with more than his usual ardour. The debate may, therefore, be expected to be one of the most interesting that have occurred during the Session. By the following extract from the votes of the Com mons, it will be seen that, besides the motion of the Hon. Member for Lincoln, two other propositions tending toward the same object are to be submitted to the House : " 1. Mr. Edward Lytton Bulwer,—On reading an Order of the Day, to move the Repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers. " 2. .11r. Wallace,— To move, as an Amendment on Mr. Buiwer's motion for a repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers, That a Select Committee be appointed, to inquire, whether by placing the management of the Post Ofr:-e in Commission, contract ing for conveying the mails by private steam-packets, amending and regulating inland P6st conveyances, and the rates Of Postages, a sav - ir.g might net be effected sufficient to admit of repealing the linty ofl'Newspapers. " 3. Mr. Bueliingliam,—To move, as an amendment to Mr. Lyt ton Bulwer's motion for a total ~Neal of the Stamp Duties on Newspaper s, the following resolut:on :—That from and after the last day of January 1536, it shall be lawful to publish newspapers at any price, from one penny to one shilliag per number. provided that every such ne.ws i iaper shall be issued on a sheet bearing a stamp of the vi,!ue of onc-foe ,- h ;he pri_ at which su.,l nevc-.Tap ,, r shall be sold ,- ‘y retail ; and that ir,:c transmission by post shall be given to all si,ll newspapers, as an equivalent for the duty thus paid." We can, without much difficulty, anticipate the ffrounds on which Mr. S. RICE will oppose the Repeal r, of the Duty. Whatever the Right Hon. Gentleman's private opinions may be with regard to the propriety of fettering the Press, he will not dare to avow any illiberality on that point. His objections, as we may gather from the course he pursued on a late occasion, will be entirely of a financial nature. Let us therefore look at the question in its financial aspect. The surplus revenue of the year ending in April last was 902,0001.—0 f that ending in July, 1,205,0001. In calculating the probable surplus for the current year, which ends in April 1836, Mr. S. RICE assumes the smaller of these sums as the utmost amount on which he can rely. Why, with so great an increase in the pro duce of the first quarter—with so manifest a confutation of his own calculations as that quarter affords—he should anticipate so great a . failing-off in the other three quar ters, it is not for us to imagine. He has not yet let the public into the secret. Perhaps we shall hear something about it to-night ; but, in the mean time, we must say that it looks as if he had some purpose, not altogether direct, to serve, by understating the amount applicable to the remission of taxation. But let us take the Right Hon. Gentleman's sur plus, as he himself has stated it, at 835,0001.—with the West India interest cutting so deep into it, and the paramount obligation to reduce the duty on flint glass, and to render gin more accessible to the poor— would he run any risk by taking off or reducing the stamp-duty on newspapers ? We are persuaded the Re venue, so far from losing, would gain considerably by such a step. _ Suppose the duty taken off altogether, the number of papers circulated would be greatly increased—some say five, others tenfold—but taking the increase at five times the present amount, which is surely a moderate calculation, the increased excise on paper arising out of the additional consumption, would cover more than half the deficiency. The amount of the Newspaper stamp-duty is 441,000/. ; the duty on paper about 45,000/. ; the remaining 216,000/. would be more than made up by the increase in the duty upon advertise ments, which would follow as a necessary consequence, and by a small postage, say id. on each newspaper sent by post. But a total Repeal of the Stamp Duty is not neces sary. 'We conceive that if three-fourths of it were re moved, every object aimed at by those who are anxious for the extension of knowledge among the people would be better attained t/han by any other method. The Stamp on a Newspaper is fourpence ; let it be reduced to one penny, and if the present circulation be increased three times, or even less than that—and surely this is no extravagant supposition—the revenue would be compensated from this source alone, without taking into consideration the addition made to it by the ad vertisements and the consumption of paper. This, after the best consideration that we can give to the subject, appears to us the simplest and the safest plan. The Stamp would then, as at present, frank the Newspaper through the Post-office ; for the Post-office, with its minute ramifications, must ever be the most effectual vehicle for disseminating political information among the great body of the population, and no machinery beyond what exists at present would be required to carry the law into effect. But should the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER object to any alteration of the financial arrangements, which he has determined upon for the current year, there is still a mode by which he may show his good-will to the cause of cheap knowledge, with out much danger to the Revenue. He may pro pose that the reduction to be made in the duty shall commence from the sth of January 1836. By this means the defalcation in the Revenue, should his fears be realized, would extend over one quarter only ; and by the end of that quarter, he would be prepared to meet the difficulty. With respect to the amendments to be proposed on Mr. BULWER'S mo tion, we can only say that Mr. WALLACE'S proposed inquiry into the Post-office department is a question distinct from that of the Newspaper Stamp Duty, and whatever be the fate of the original motion, ought to be carried through. Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S plan would, we fear, not work well in detail. We have in the foregoing remarks confined our selves to the financial view of the question, because it is in its relation to the Revenue that it has hitherto been regarded by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who seems, like the Pharisees of old, to have been quite indifferent about " the weightier matters of the law." The instruction of the people is in our opinion the strong ground on which the re duction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty is to be advocated. It is the right of the people to have knowledge of every kind communicated to them at as cheap a rate as possible, and if there be any one species of knowledge for which they have a stronger claim than another on the Government, it is that which is communicated through Newspapers, and through them alone. If, as some politicians of the illiberal school have asserted, the people had nothing to do with the laws but to obey them, it would even then seem not unreasonable that they should know what they were to obey. But in those who hold the doctrine that public opinion is in future to be the only guide of the Statesman, it does seem not a little inconsistent to deny to the public the only means by which its opinion can be enlightened. What shall be thought, then, of the refusal of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to remove the tax that prevents the extension of political information to the great mass of the community, while, at the same time, he would seem to have no scruples about giving them additional facilities for forming intemperate habits ? " If," says the Hon. Gentleman, " I do not give you a mouthful of knowledge do not grumble, you shall have a bellyful of gin. If you have not rational, you shall at all events have spiritual edu cation." But we trust Mr. S. RICE means to retrace his steps. We cannot believe that he will hazard his own reputation, as well as the character of the Administration of which he forms a part, by persisting in a course which may in the long run prove fatal to both. There is still room for repentance. Let him now remit a portion of this most obnoxious of all taxes, while he can do it with a good grace. If he do not, he will soon be compelled to relinquish the whole. Since writing the above, our attention has been di. rected to the following tissue of misrepresentation whici appeared in a Sunday paper (the Obscrver) with re• spect to the Stamp Duties : " We have been not a little surprised at witnessing the course which has been adopted by the promoters of the repeal of the stamps on newspapers, or, as they have been pleased to style them "the Taxes on Knowledge." Their conduct has been such as to place the greatest obstacles in the way of the accomplishment of their own object. These gentlemen, who from having paid (by their own account at least) more attention than any others to the subject, ought to be qualified to give the Chancellor of the Exchequer the most correct informaCon on the subject, assured him that any measure short of total repeal would be not only productive of no benefit, but of positive injury to the parties interested. Nay, more, they told the Right lion. Gentleman that, so far from being satisfied with the re peal of the Newspaper Stamp Duty, they required also the total repeal of the tax upon paper, and the total repeal of the tax upon advertisements. Now, let us see what amount of revenue is derived from these three sources— Newspaper Stamps Advertisements Paper ... £1,415,586 " Thus, with an acknowledged surplus of 200,0001., Mr, flume proposes to repeal 1,300,0001. of taxation. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer took the only course which was left epen to him, and did not touch the subject." Setting aside the gross mis-statement in the above with rospect to those who r!.dvocate the remission or re.:uction of Ole Stomp Duties, we shall merely re mark, that in tbc article of pq;s!-;r, the writer has actually exaggerated the amount of that duty upwards of Circe hunch cd thousand pounds !—mis represented the amount snore than one hay ! Veri table apologist for Mr. SPRING RICE ! Put this is only a sample of the mirk-liberal friends of the Press. Another worthy (the Courier of last night), has taken up the subject of the Stamp Duties in a strain which it were idle to criticise, seeing that one part e' the article refutes the other. The Courier is against any reduction of the " Taxes on Knowledge," because it would produce a revolution in the morals of the country ! The burden of its song seems to be— " Where ignorance is bliss 'Tis folly to be wise." Their Lordships bid fair to play the same game with the Irish Church Reform Bill that they have just played with the Corporation Bill. They will not oppose it bold ly, and with undisguised determination of purpose ; but in an underhand mariner, bringing to bear on it all those arts of chicanery at which they are such unrivalled adepts. Accordingly, they permitted it last night to pass the second reading—an act of consummate absur- dity, by the bye, since to sanction the second reading of a Bill is, to all intents and purposes, to sanction its principle ! Their Lordships, however, in the exu berance of their hereditary wisdom, think otherwise ; being evidently of opinion, that to allow a measure to go into Committee, is by no means to approve of its leading features ; but, on the contrary, to show a very praise-worthy hostility towards them. The very staff and stay of the Irish Church Bill, is the Appropriation Clause ; yet this is the very clause to which our hereditary Solons most vehemently object I With what consistency could they allow a Bill, thus disfigured in their estimation, to get so far as a second reading ? This is a question more easily asked than answered ; but indeed their Lordships' whole course of proceeding, during the last fortnight, is an enigma which none but an CEdipus can solve. Meantime, let them play what frantic an tics they please, the people have but one course to pursue. They must bring their own determination to bear upon their oppressors' chicanery, and show the same zeal for Ireland that they have already shown for England. It were the blackest ingratitude not to stand up at the present crisis for the sister country; seeing that her liberal Representatives have been our mainstay during the Session, battling as strenuously for us, as ever they have done for their own local interests. We must protest therefore against the mutilation of th.) Irish Church Bill, with quite as much tenacity of pur pose as if it were the Corporation Bill, for its destiny involves equally important results ; and when we see such men as the Bishop of EXETER among its stiffest opponents, we are still more bound to be decided in our conduct, for it is as evident as his own shovel hat, that that measure to which Ise is hostile cannot but be beneficial to the community. This surprising THE SUN, LO _ZION, FRIDAY, AtGrST 21, 1835. Prelate observed last night, among other piquant I absurdities, that he was " prepared rather to for feit life itself," than to be a party to the in justice of the Appropriation Clause. How valorous —how disinterested I Yet if we remember rightly, this same Churchman made this same remark in one of his pamphlets against Mr. CANNING. He was prepared, he said, " rather to forfeit life itself," than consent to Catholic Emancipation. Alas, we all know how well he followed up his threat of martyr dom ; and the people may depend upon it, that his present threat is just about as likely to be realized. No, no. The Exeter Apostle is not exactly the sort of wood out of which martyrs are manufactured. Non ex quovis ligno fit Mercurius. The good Bishop has too many good things in his eye, to think of martyrdom just yet. The world will not lose the benefit of his anointed presence, till he has lost all chance of London or Canterbury. But were even the worst to befal—were he really in downright earnest to accept the crown of martyrdom, still we are far from of opinion that the people would be inconsolable in con sequence. GOD knows, we can spare a Bishop! It is only one clerical cormorant the less. Pray, what did the Right Rev. Prelate mean by talking of the want of public principle of his MAJESTY'S Ministers ? Surely he should be the last person on earth to hold this language I A charge of such a character comes with the worst possible grace from the rankest apostate of the day. But be this as it may, principle or no principle, we can assure Dr. PIIILLPOTTS, that the people will adhere steadily to Government. They will sustain them in all their difficulties ; confirm them in all their good resolutions ; and take care that they win the day, even though the House of Lords should be annihilated in the struggle. In the House of Lords last night, on the motion of the Earl of RADNOR, the Polls at Elections Bill was read a third time ; as also was the Oaths Abolition Bill, on the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND ; his Grace very sensibly observing that, " in the greater number of elections in this country, the administration of these oaths was not demanded, and he believed they were never called for, unless to gain time for some political object." The Orange Colonel FAIRMAN was last night ordered to be committed to Newgate—a punishment not worth speaking of, inasmuch as the imprisonment can scarcely be of more than a few day's duration. Hardly will the Gallant Colonel have walked into his Majesty's gaol, than he will receive permission to walk out again. Mr. HthiE, however, has very properly resolved that the matter should not rest here ; and ac cordingly gave notice yesterday that he would this day make a motion, having for its express object to obtain possession of Colonel FAIRMAN'S official book. We trust the House will be successful in its endeavours to get hold of it, though we must confess we have our doubts. Brussels and German papers have been received. Some alarm was excited at Vienna by reports of dis turbances at Berlin, which happily turn out to be totally groundless. The German Journals are almost entirely filled with accounts of the preparations which are beins_ , made for the great Review at Kalisch. The King of HOLLAND will not attend the Review, as was reported in the German, and repeated in the French pa pers of July; but his second son will meet the Sovereigns of the North when the reviews are over at the camp, in an olicial capacity. There is no intelligence of the slightest importance in the Brussels Papers. VIENNA, AUGUST 11.—Five per Cents., 1021; Four per Cents. ; Bank Shares, I,324.—Allyemeine Zeitung, Aug. 12. By the Mexican mail this morning we have papers from Vera Cruz to the 25th of June ; they bring ac counts of the return of SANTA ANNA to the above capital, where he was received with great pomp and honours. The papers also state the number of the army of the Republic, the expense of which amounts to 9,372,875 dollars. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday, with full reports of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday. On Tuesday the Committee appointed to examine the Ministerial project of law for the abrogation of the liberty of the Press, presented its Report to the Chamber. Several amendments were proposed, all framed with a view to render the working of the measure still more atrocious ! Instead of softening down the harsh features of the Ministerial project, the Committee has with a fiendish ingenuity proposed clauses, which, if adopted, will empower the Minister of Justice to suppress every po litical Journal in France. The Report of the Com mittee has already produced a strong sensation in the public mind in Paris. The leaders of the Oppo sition are in a state of frenzy ; the Press has resolved to take the opportunity now left it to proclaim its aggravated wrongs, and the ingrati tude of its arch-enemy; and the people everywhere be gin to understand how deeply their interests are impli cated in the proceedings which are now going for ward. In fact we are fully persuaded that France is fast approaching towards the brink of another revolu tion, and if the crimes of a Sovereign are in any case a justification for such a catastrophe on the part of the people, we are most sincerely of opinion that France will stand acquitted of any guilt, in the judgment of God and man, which .she may be presumed to incur by the deposition of King Louis PHILIPPE. The Paris Papers of Wednesday devote a large share of their columns to the present aspect of affairs in Spain. We regret to find that among the liberal party the increase of crime almost exceeds credibility. The misetable Monks—many of them men stricken in years—are most exposed to the cowardly attacks of ruffians shouting at the top of their voices " the Constitution of Cadiz." Of course we should be the very last to as sociate in any way a love of liberty—even to Repub licanism--with crime of any sort ; but it is a source of deep regret to us that villains should succeed in veiling their cruelties under the mask of Constitutional liberty. The Journal de Paris published a second edition on Tuesday, with the following bulletin, which . is copied into the Morning Papers of Wednesday : " General Colerby, Governor of Tarragona, has taken re fuge in France, in consequence of disorders in that city simi lar to those of Barcelona. " During several days the Carlist insurgents have come to disturb and annoy the company of Urban Guards; who defend the bridge of Beholaia. Yesterday they attacked them in a most lively manner, and fired on a French detachment, which was in observation with ordered arms. One of the balls fired by them broke the musket of a French soldier, and lodged in his cross-belts (!) The Commander of the detachment or dered the fire to be returned instantly, and as the Carlists were posted in the houses near the bridge, his two pieces of artillery sent them eight bullets. The firing was nevertheless conti nued up to nightfall between the Carlists and the Urbans. The latter had only one of their number wounded—the Cap tain, who received a ball in the foot. It is not yet known what loss the Carlists suffered from the fire of the French de tachment and the two pieces of artillery." The Spanish authorities have endeavoured to bring to justice some of the insurgents engaged in the late insurrectionary movement at Barcelona. Six of the ringleaders have already suffered death for their mur derous excesses on that occasion. Letters from Bayonne state, that on the 10th inst. a second insurrection, more dreadful than the first, broke out at Saragossa. The GOVERNOR of the city is re ported to have been killed in attempting to repress the tumult at the head of some troops. The insurgents then proceeded formally to expel the Magistracy, who were obliged to quit the city. The troops were like wise expelled, after which the populace proclaimed the constitution of Cadiz, and, in the name of the QUEEN, appointed a Junta to govern the city. There is no other intelligence of any importance in these Journals. The Temps, in a brief article states, that the trial of the prisoners of April having termi nated for the present, the diplomatists who had been re-called to assist at the trials, will resume their sta tions at the several European scats of Government. The KING has no fear of the absence of the other Peers on the trial of FIESCHI, and therefore the at tendance of the mere creatures of his will is no longer necessary to secure the triumph of the Government. Above all, France requires to be repr esen t e d at Vienna during the Congress at Toplitz, that capi tal now being the focus of German intrigue. It strikes us as peculiarly strange, that the I French Journals should have entirely overlooked ' the Ukase, recently issued by the Emperor of RUSSIA, for raising recruits throughout the northern part of his dominions. The Ukase recently promul gated calls for five recruits out of every thousand in habitants, so that, at the very lowest calculation, Russia is about to increase her army to the number of one hundred and twenty thousand men ! Does this por tend no danger to the liberties of Europe—no desire to unfurl the black standard of the North over the highest minaret in Constantinople ? FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, AUGUST 19.

In consequence of the notice issued from the Bank yesterday afternoon, that they had extended their discounts to the 10th of September next, at 3i per Cent., instead of 4 per Cent., the Funds, which were in the early part of the morninn very heavy, assumed a brighter appearance towards the close of the market, and Consols left off at 8978 for the Account ; and opened this morning at 898 90, owing to the prevailing opinion that Ministers will not re quire one-third of the fifteen millions of the West India Loan for a length of time to come, and the amount not required they will in vest in the funds. This had the effect of making the market buoyant. Omnium, which left off at 2 3 % is at present 213 premium. Exchequer Bills 18 20 ; Bank Stock 2141 15/ ; India Bonds 4 6 ; India Stock 2531 41. The Foreign Market, which was very feverish during the course of yesterday, has a better appearance this morning. Spanish Bonds, which left off 431, are 44 ; Spanish Scrip closed at 161 16, now 16 151 discount ; Portuguese left off 871 88, same price ; Three per Cents., 561 ; Colombian, 311 321 ; 31exican 351 361. The accounts from Spain state that Don Carlos was tienetrating into Old Castile, no doubt for plunder, previous to the English and French' troops taking the field : it will be impossible for him to maintain himself, and we have no doubt, ere long, he will retrace his steps, and eventually fly the country. HALF-PAST ONE. Consols have been during the morning at 89i 90 for the Ac count, alternately buyers and sellers at the above price ; the same for money. Exchequer Bills, 18 20 ; India Bonds, 46 ; Bank Stock, 215 ; Omnium Three per Cent. premium. The Foreign Market is not so good as in the morning, when Spa nish bonds reached 44 ; at present they are 424 ; Spanish Scrip was 15* discount ; it is now 17 discount ; Portuguese, 884 ; Three per Cents., 54 4.

The patriotic toast given at the Marylebone dinner, on Tuesday, is worthy of imitation at all loyal dinners in the present critical times ; it was—" The King —may he remove the wicked from about his Court, and his Throne be established in the hearts of his people." The Committee appointed by the last public meeting of the rate-payers of Marylebone upon the Corporation Reform Bill, have deemed it necessary to call another meeting, to conside r and express their opinions on the mutilation of that measure by the House of Lords. This is as it ought to be. Let others follow the example. DURHAM. At a numerous Meeting of the Central Committee of the Reform Associations of the northern division of Durham, held at Mr. Lowson's, Chester-le-street, 19th August, 1835, Lieut. Col. BECKWITH in the Chair. It was unanimously resolved—That ilierecexi7P;oceedings of the House of Lords convince this meeting, that, in the Tory party, there exists a determination to destroy the efficiency of all the useful measures of Reform in troduced by his Majesty's Ministers, with a view to their ejection from office, and the re-instatement of that anti-national power, which has so long and so destructively impeded the progress of public improvement, and in the hopes of maintaining and increasing its influence in the corrupt Corporations of the Country,—that consequently this Association do earnestly entreat the Representa tives in Parliament for this division of the county, and for the boroughs within the division, to attend in their places in Parliament, and resist, to the uttermost, every at tempt to mutilate or nullify those m-.2astm2s of Municipal mid Ecclesiastical Refor m , a t p re s e nt under discussion by the Ld gislature. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS yesterday, after the presentation of a petition in favour of the original Corporations Bill, several Bills were brought up from the Commons. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the occupiers of 116,000 acres of land, in the county of Norfolk, in favour of the Islington Market Bill. A petition against the Irish Church Bill was presented. The Limitation of Polls Bill was passed,—after the Marquis of SALISBURY had divided the House on an amendment to leave out the oath of supremacy clause. Clauses 8 and 9 were omitted ; all the others were agreed to. The Oaths Aboli tion Bill was passed. After several petitions had been pre sented against the Irish Church Bill, Lord MELBOURNE rose and said that he was commanded by his MAJESTY to signify his assent to this Bill ; and, at the conclusion of an able and tem perate speech, in which his Lordship commented on the un christian language of some of the petitions, and went into the details of this important measure, he moved that the Bill be read a second time. After some discussion, significant of the sentence that awaits it from the House of Lords, the Bill was read a second time without a division, and ,the House then adjourned. In the COMMONS', Mr. WALTER made a motion respecting the 30,0001. advanced to the Thames 'funnel Company. The sense of the House being against the motion, it was not pressed. The Glass Duties Bill passed through Committee. The Constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill was passed. In Com mittee on the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, some proposed amendments were negatived. For the proceedings in the case of Colonel FAIRMAN, the Orange Lodges' Secre tary, we refer to another column. They will be found to pos sess much interest. A debate of considerable length ensued upon a motion for a Committee on General DARLING'S case, for which we refer to our Parliamentary Report. THE BUDGET-STAMP DUTIES. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The slight notice taken by us in our last number of the Budget of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has been followed up, as it deserved, by one universal excla mation against its hollowness—its inefficiency—its want of grasp—and, finally, its breach of faith, not with the public Press of England only, but with the liberal and determined wishes of the people of all England. Never was there such an intense note of preparation--never so much preparation—never such a flourish of trumpets at the introduction of a financial statement—never such disappoint ment—and, finally, never did a Budget receive so many " kicks instead of halfpence," as that of Friday last. It fell dead-born from the lips of the Right Honourable Gentleman, and his colleagues in the House appeared to have gauged his intellect more correctly than we and others had done ; for, according to a paragraph which we find in an Evening Print, and which we know to be substantially correct, " Never, since the first introduction of the word Budget' into parliamentary phraseology, was there anything like the apathy that was displayed both by Honourable Members and the public generally, as was evinced to hear Mr. Spring Rice's official statement last night. It was with the utmost difficulty a House could be made. Indeed, at five minutes to four o'clock there appeared little probability of pro curing the attendance of forty Members. Messengers of all descriptions were sent in every direction to beat up, but not withstanding their exertions, the hand of the clock lay on the point of four when the Speaker counted thirty-nine, which, of course, with himself, made up the number necessary to con stitute a House. Less than half a moment more and the House, notwithstanding the budget, must have adjourned. At no period during the sitting was there anything like a full at tendance of Members. The public appeared to feel even greater indifference ; the strangers' gallery, at the early part of the sitting, was nearly empty. Hitherto on such occasions sums of from one to five guineas have been given for seats, and persons sent at an early hour in the day to occupy them until the gentlemen who purchased them arrived. On Friday night twice as many might have been admitted, on payment of the customary fee of half-a-crown." The audience was worthy of the subject. To listen at any time to a financial statement requires some patience ; but the infliction of two hours and a half of an historical summary of the taxes which existed in 1814, and which have in part been repealed since that year, and without anything in the shape of reduction to neutralize the bitterness, is really "too bad—too bad," not only on account of the absence of novelty, but too bad also, because the whole affair was as well known to every well-educated boy of 14 years of age as to the Right Hon. Gentleman who receives some thousands a year for reciting the well-known extract from the history of the United King dom, entitled The Rise and Progress of the National Debt. It is unpleasant to dwell upon this subject—and still more unpleasant to refer to the apology of the Right Hon. Gen tleman for passing over in contemptuous silence his pledge to repeated Deputations of the Press—nay, of a ma jority of the Press—to provide a new law for the sup pression of illegal publications, provided a majority of the existing London press would submit to such a sweep ing reduction of the Taxes on Newspapers as he, in his wis dom, might see meet to adopt. Can Mr. Spring Rice deny this to be the fact? Can he deny that he has broken his pledge? No. And most justly is he rewarded by the con temptuous sneers of those journals which have been unflinch ing opponents of the Government, and the expression of bit ter disappointment on the part of those who have done it some service. We speak in sorrow more than in- anger. To us, as we have already said, it matters but little, as Newspapers now are, whether any alteration be or be not made ; but it is not so with others, who have been led to entertain expecta tions, and been disappointed—who have prepared for a change, and find that no change is about to take place. Verily there are men who possess the double capability of insuring the ma lignant sneers of their enemies, and of losing the support of their friends at one and the same time, as Mr. Spring Rice will speedily find to his cost, and, we fear, to the discredit of the Government of which he has proved himself to be such an inefficient and incapable organ. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, AUGUST 19. The Reformers of this place are highly indignant at the charges introduced into the Corporation Bill in the House of Lords ; indeed, they have abandoned the measure, and it is expected that a public meeting will be held in a few days, to request the Representatives of the people to reject the change ling attempted to be thrust by the hereditary wiseacres upon the nation, in place of the broad, liberal, and enlightened measure brought forward by the Ministry. The effect of the qualification introduced by Lord Lyndhurst, would act in Newport in the most objectionable manner; many of the most wealthy and respectable inhabitants would be ineligible, while brewers, and tavern and lodging-house keepers, would rank highest on the scale. The shopkeepers in the High-street, would nearly exclude all the others of the same class in the town ; and owing to the inequality of the rating, much in justice would be committed. Sir R. Peel's proposed qualifica tion of 1,0001. for large boroughs, and 500/. for smaller ones, would effect the purpose to a certain extent intended, but the anomaly of the Ex-Lord Chancellor will render those eligible whose trades require large premises, and exclude many re tired tradesmen and others, competent in every other respect, but not living in large and expensive houses. At the public meeting held some time since, great persua sion was required to induce the electors to petition the Lords, and the general cry through the town now is, " We will never again be foolish enough to petition men so regardless of our wishes." The Tories are highly delighted with the amendments, and say that the Bill will only confirm and consolidate their power in Newport. For the county, as well as the borough, they are fishing up everything that can be urged in the way of an ob jection to the Liberal voters. Certain cads to the party are fully employed in raking up even the most scandalous objec tions that can be imagined—the privacy of family affairs are threatened to be violated for party purposes—and, encouraged by the manifestation in the House of Lords, they abate nothing of their exertions, hoping eventually to restore the Isle of Wight again to boroughmongering thraldom. The Liberals in the county and borough should unite, for the loss of either to the Reformers would expose the other to more direct and dangerous attack. Liberal landholders should see that they do not play into the hands of their enemies, by allowing Tory stewards to use their influence against the popular cause. TAUNTON. The Lords have now set themselves completely at variance with the people. They have declared war against Reform— against liberty—against the Commons of England. Let us stand by our order. We reject the mutilated Bill, and prefer to wait the course of events. The Commons will be false to themselves and to us if they do not reject this mockery of a Reform. The following handbill, and petition, will best de scribe the state of feeling in this town : " Inhabitants of Taunton,—Disregarding the prayer of your petition and that of the millions of your fellow citizens who have, like yourselves, entreated the House of Lords to grant to the people of England their ancient and undoubted privilege of electing their own municipal officers, and managing the affairs of their own towns, the peers have . so mutilated the Corporation Reform Bill, as to make it utterly worthless. " They have introduced a clause providing that only a sixth part of the rate payers, having the greatest property, shall be eligible to any municipal office, thus insulting the middle and working classes by declaring that they shall never hold any office, however competent they may be for it, from honesty, from talent, or from industry. Men of Taunton, was ever such an insult offered to a free and intelligent people ? " Again, the Lords have declared that all the present cor rupt Aldermen, and members of the rotten Corporations shall, without election, be members of the new ones for the rest of their lives. " Lastly, they have decided that instead of the Common Council being responsible to the people of the town for their acts, that one-fourth of them shall be chosen for life. " By these insulting amendments all that made the Bill va luable is destroyed. Come forward then, without delay, and sign the Address to the House of Commons, which now lies at the London Inn for signature, praying the Commons of Great Britain to reject this tyrannical and insulting Bill, and promising to support the people's House in any measures which they may deem necessary for securing the rights and liberties of the people, from the attacks of the hereditary and irrespon sible Peers. Remember, that this is but the first step of the 450 Lords to thwart the wishes and oppose the just demands of the twenty-three millions of the people. If you submit tamely to to this, they will not only put an entire stop to future Reform, but they will take away from you the liberties you have already This is the to;:xt - icin, to .how your tleierroniatioo.

LINCOLN, AUGUST 19, 1835. MY LORD,—In the Standard Newspaper of Tuesday it recorded that your Lordship had been informed tha t a counte d Petition from Lincoln in favour of Corporation Reform ha I , received the signatures of children of six and seven Year! age. As I presume that your Lordship has been g rossly 0 1' posed upon by some person unscrupulous of truth , I think 16_ a duty I owe to my fellow townsmen to declare , that such statement is utterly devoid of foundation.
