whole measure as to its principle would combine to destroy its framework and all its parts in committee. How far that frame work and these parts could be preserved in committe• might be determined when it was known that those who declared. their anxiety to go into committee had denounced the measure as one of iniquity.—( Hear, hear.) He might be mistaken in this supposition ; but at present he could not help expressing it as his opinion that the measure would become (if the expressed intentions of Noble Lords were acted on) so altered and so mutilated, that those who had rigidly framed it and those who supported it in the other House of Parliament, would not know their own bandy work.—( Hear, hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord then went on to observe, that if this commission were illegal on the grounds which had been stated on the oppo site side of the House, there were 57 Commissions which had been issued in his recollection also illegal. The defence set up by the Corporations could only be compared to those occur rences which took place every day in Westminster Hall in consequence of the verdict of juries on the decision of a judge, when the discomfited party almost always asserted that the witnesses were corrupted, the attorneys bribed, and the judge partial. The Commissioners, however, had been charged with unfairness, partiality, faction, and almost cor ruption ; and when hey applied to be heard at the bar, their request was refused with the universal consent of their Lord sbips.—(A laugh from the Opposition.) He was really sur prised to see their Lordships run away in so childish—he had almost said, womanish a manner—with the words which he had used. without attending to or examining the appli cation of his argument. He admitted that he had himself been foremost in desiring that the Commissioners should not be heard ; but he felt that he was compelled, by a hard and cruel necessity, to do an act of injustice to these men, or to sacrifice the measure. He had preferred the former course, to which their Lordships readily assented ; but the inevitable consequence of such a decision was that their Lordships were bound, as honourable men, as honest men, and as Christians, with the ordinary feelings of justice and charity, to give the freest, most candid, and liberal construction to the whole con duct of those Commissioners who bad been placed in such unhappy circumstances respecting their defence, by the avowed wish of their Lordships.—( Cheers.) The Noble Lord then went on to compare different parts of the evi dence taken before the House with the Report of the Com missioners, with the view of showing that any descrepanev which might have appeared was owing to the mode in which the examinations had been made ; many of the answers ola tented from the witnesses were obtained partly by suppressing and partly by perverting what had been stated in the Report of the Commissioners. The fact was, that if in a corner of the Bill a small clause had been inserted for the purpose of re serving the right of the present town-clerks of the boroughs, he doubted many of the petitions which had been laid upon their Lordships' table against the Bill would never have seen ~ the light, and he was at all events confident that the Learned - Counsel whom they had heard at their Lordships' bar would have lost the opportunity of displaying much of the eloquence which had so much delighted their Lordships.—( Hear, hear.) Another point was that attacks had been made, by the mode of taking the evidence, upon the characters of many individua's, as in the cases of Mr. INlarriot, Mr. Fisguard, and othe, s. He had expected when those gentlemen were attacked that their evidence would be impugned, but so far was that from ' being the case, that after the attacks made upon those gen-. tlemen it was admitted that everything they said was strictly tom.—( Hear, hear.) But admitting that those who gr,e evidence before the Commissioners were opposed to the Corporations, at the very most all that could be said was, that what spiteful men, and men who were enemies to t' .c Corporations said, unspiteful men who were avowedly a_a'. ; admittedly friendly to the Corporatioas admitted to be true. ' Hear, hear.) In his opinion the whole of the chary brought against the Commissioners, and the proofs broissit in support of them, were among the most futile ever brow:it against any set of men employed in a public function. Mr. Drinkwater, who was one of the best men he had ewer known, and whom it suited the object of the other party to set down as a Whig—he was glad by the bye to hear that Drinkwater was a Whig, for during the time he ( Lord Brougham) bad been in the Court of King's Bench, he 1,..1 never known that to be the case— I.ord LYNDHURST here rose, and, after some inter ruptiod, said he wished to answer an observation made the Noble Visco unt.—( Loud cries of " Oh, oh !") Lord BROUGHAM said it was not a very usual cow for one Noble L,- , rd to rise and interrupt another in order t , ) answer observations :raade by a third Noble Lord ; but supposed his Noble Friend wished him to take breath.— ( A laugh.) But with regard to Mr. D:inkwater, it did not ;- nit's , in this case whether he was Whig or Tory but if he l. -u! become a Whig, all he (Lord Brougham) should say was, ti.r,t he was happy he had got to the right side of the question. A Aiore flimsy charge then that brought against Mr. Drinhsr.'t i lk; had never heard. It hal been said that he had taken ic formation from Fisguard out of court. Was not that his dot, lie was bound to get information wherever and whenever could. Inquirers were bound to hear all infetreers whenever they chose to give their information ; but they were at the same time hound not to decide upon that information until th -y had taken evil" nee upon it in open court ; and that was joist what was done by Mr. Drinkwater. He took the suggestions given by Mr. Fisguarl; he then examined those: sugge-ahta in open court, and after that exa mination he made his repr , rt. rhea he had been accused of refusing to put information his report that had been gi v e n b y other parties. But whit vas he fact ? The party in question spoY.c of improvements isaa taken vlace after the inquiry had bnca elosed (Hear, hear.) Was it to be expected that the Cotaen;ssiout would alter what he had done before? Was he to open up Lis Report merely upon the faith of a private letter delivered to him in the room. It was plain that, if he had done so, there would have been some room for complaint ; but as the case stood there was none. He would not go further iz:to cases, but he thought he had gone far enough to vindicate the Commissioners from the charges brought against them. It he had not, no tedium, no lassitude, r.o impatience upon tip: part of their Lordships would prevent him from going furtln r. —( Hear, hear.) He had a deed of justice to perform in d?- fending those gentlemen who had been accused unjustly be hind their backs. He was staying execution on charges brought against the characters of eighteen men, who were as honourable and high-principled as any of their Lordships; and not only was he justified in calling upon their Lordships to hear the vindication of those gentlemen, but he would not be justified if he did not insist upon being heard until such time as he might deem that he had perfectly succeeded in that object.—( Hear, hear.) But having done so, he bad merely to add, that be had thought it his duty to watch the whole progress of the inquiry before their Lordships, and accordingly be had not been absent for a single moment during the whole time it was proceeding, in order that he might be able to ,make up his mind upon the charges brought against the Commissioners, for, having been in some measure the author of the Commission, and having throughout watched its for tunes with anxiety from the period when it was in embryo till the present time, when it should be arriving at mate city, although he feared it was only approaching its dissolu tion—( Hear, hear)—he had felt anxious that nothing, either as connected with its authors, or with those who were to make the inquiries—that no fictitious rottenness, or no misconduct in any man, should defeat its object. Though he was not .strictly responsible for the appointments of all the Commis sioners, and though some of those Commissioners were not known personally to him, yet having been appointed on the recommendation of persons to whom he gave his confidence, he felt that he should be answerable for the appointment of the persons appointed to conduct this great inquiry, upon which, the hopes of the country were settled; and if any one .of them had failed to discharge his duty, if a wrong choice Lad been made, if unjust men had been sent, and that" they by any ill-judged conduct had tended to cast discredit on the inquiry, he should have been the first to get rid of the contamination of such Commissioners.—(Cheers.) He should have heard their case and have judged of it, and if he had found that they had ta b glected the duty entrusted to them, he should have been the first to have abandoned the men who had thus abandoned their duty. He therefore claimed to himself the merit of haling watched scrupulously the progress of this inquiry, and the reult of that watchfulness was this : he had examined all the alloys, as well as the statements made in support of them ; he had hears the charges, without the persons accused having of answering them ; but on the ex parte bad an opportun: 4l statement of the a ,..nusers, his mind was made up in favour of an acquittal of those Co' mmissioners. These charges, if proved, would q have contaminated t:.' o sill —not but that the Bill had higher grounds upon which it v - zras founded, and which would' have recommended it to the cot:ntry—still there would bo contamination if such charges were proved ; but he felt bound to say that he did not see the shadow of a shade of proof of any of them.—( Cheers.) One word as to what bad been said upon the subject of the feeling in the country in regard to this Bill. It had been said that this feeling had been excited by the Government ; and in proof of that point it was stated that Lord John Russell had franked two letters which were sent down to Weymouth, and in consequence of which tneetin o crs had been called. But was it sa id tha t Lord John Russell knew what was the purport of those letters? Might he not have franked them, as no doubt many of their Lordships did, without knowing what they contained, or from whom they came ? But no ; Lord John Russell had franked two letters, and therefore it was said that he had agitated Weymouth.—( Hear, hear.) But had Manchester been agi tatezd? In Manchester, the petition in favour of that Bill was signed by 23,000 persons in ten hours ; and would, most pro bably, lime been signed by 30,000, if three or four days could have been given. That was a proportion of the inhabitants of Manchester : for, including women and children, it an swered to a population of 80,000 souls. Then, in Leeds, 16,000 persons had signed the petition, and 20,000 might as easily have been found to sign it, but that they went away under the impression that, having attended the meeting at which the petition was agreed to, there was nothing more to do. This number answered to a population of 50,000 souls. --(Hear, hear.) And at Leicester, 9,500 persons signed the petition which he had this day presented, but which had been refused by their Lordships. Leicester was the borough in which they were told that the Corporation was so very good, and the inhabitants so very well satisfied ; in which they were told that the present state of the Corporation gave the greatest satisfaction, and that only a few discontented persons were op posed to them ; yet they had had a proof that night, that four out of five of the inhabitants were not so satisfied in the happy and gratified borough of Leicester. From all these circum stances, be could draw but one conclusion, and that was, that the people were discontented with the present state of the Corporations, and wished for an alteration in them ; and what was more, that this feeling was all but universal._( Hear, bear.) But if all the people were as contented with the pre sent state of the corporations as it was the wish of the corp. rators to have it believed, he would ask why they were so much afraid of new elections ? He had asked some of the witnesses if the corporations were poauler, and not seeing his drift, the answer always was *a the affirmative ; but when he asked why they should be grii4 pf qew elections, the answer always was, that they would never be re-elected. The town-clerk of Exeter was the only one who said that all the magistrates and other officers of the Corporation of that place would be re-elected by the new constituency proposed in this Bill. The Learned Counsel thought that he went too far for them, for he was asked " Did you mean to say that all would be re-elected ?" If this were the case, there would evidently be no change of which they could complain. They would have no argument as to the revolutions to be effected in any corporation. He (Lord Brougham) did not, however, form his judgment from the opinion of this honest man, but from the feelings generally entertained by those who now ad ministered the affairs of corporate towns against this measure. From the hostility they manifested against throwing open the elections in towns—from their clinging to the old mode of close election—and from their anxiety to prevent any checks being established over the public expenditure in these places. He inferred from their fears of the new system, that they thought if it prevailed, that instead of support, they would meet with nothing but hatred and disregard from the rate payers. The Bill for Municipal Reform in Scotland passed through the House upwards of two years ago, although not without the opposition of the two Noble Earls opposite ; but since then there had been a total change in the magistracy, in nearly all the burghs in Scotland. This was a proof of the degree of satisfaction entertained of the old system by the peo ple of Scotland; and yet their Lordships had been told that this was the case by his Noble Friend, who had that night said that the people of England were not discontented. with the present state of the corporations. He hoped that their Lordships would deal with this Bill in a spirit of can dour. He trustedlthat his fears would not be fulfilled as to the mode in which the Bill would be dealt with. He could not, however, help entertaining some feelings of alarm after what had fallen from the Noble Duke, the Noble Earl, and the Illustrious Duke—their language had excited fears in his mind which he could not express, as to what would be the fate of the Bill in Committee. He trusted that it would not only be allowed to proceed into Committee, but his ear liest hope and prayer was, tkat it would be allowed to pass, as nearly as possible, in its present state.—( Hear, hear.) The amendment was then put. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said, that as it seemed to be the wish of the House that a division should not take place in the present stage of the Bill, he would not trouble their Lordships to divide. He had felt it to he his duty to record his opinion as to this measure, which would be done without troubling the House further. The amendment was then negatived, and the House re solved itself into Committee. The House immediately resumed, and the Committee was ordered to sit again to• morrow. The House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. PHI( E OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stuck.... ( 15 !si , 3 Cent ... 90 8934 90! , i 3 per ('ent. Con, % 3 'Ai :er Cent. Ditto it:n 9 B' l .li I DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1836. Though the House of Lords have at length agreed to go into Committee on the Corporation Reform Bill, yet the people must not permit themselves to be duped by such an apparent show of conciliation. It is merely a change of hostile tactics ; nothing more. Their Lordships are just as eager to defeat the Bill as ever ; not one atom of their prejudices against it have they given up ; but having at length acquired some thing like a discreet insight into consequences, they have preferred to fall on it in the rear, instead of in the front ; to play the part of the fox, rather than that of the lion ; and content themselves with craftily mu tilating, what they feel they have not the strength or courage openly to destroy. Though the measure has advanced a stage, yet it is still in as much peril as ever. It has merely entered the forest, and if the people do not stick close to its side at every step, it will infallibly be torn in pieces by the fierce animals who infest the jungles. There is NEWCASTLE already crouching, previous to his fatal spring on it. WELLINGTON has set up his roar; and MANSFIELD is prepared to strangle it in his em braces. We must therefore still keep on the alert— have all our wits about us—light up our watch-fires— avoid straggling—and move and act in concert to gether. Forewarned is forearmed ; and last night's debate is a hint, the tendency of which we cannot pos sibly misapprehend. Our duty, then is to turn it to account, by husbanding our resources for the crisis of which it is the significant forerunner. True, there is a split among our opponents, and division implies weakness ; but we must not trust to this. Though the NEWCASTLE differs from the WELLINGTON party, yet it is only on a trifling question of degree. Both, in the main, are equally hostile to the Bill, and both will use every effort to neutralize it. WELLINGTON'S endeavour to emasculate it, is quite as much to be guarded against as NEWCASTLE'S anxiety to tear it to atoms, and scatter it to the four winds of heaven. How indeed can we expect that a measure will pass safely through Committee, when even its most tempe rate opponent, plainly tells us, that he objects to its principle, " first, because it does not adequately se cure existing rights and privileges ; secondly, because it does not secure the rights of individuals appointed for the term of their lives to situations under the exist ing charters ; thirdly, because it does not secure the Envileges granted to freemen under existing Acts of Parliament ; and lastly, because it tends to the esta blishment of a syt.4_llll by which persons may be elected to high and important mull;c! situations, who have no adequate qualifications for such a trust ?" If this p.!ti '•;1 , • -- a cC ftliV • 'ft bt * THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1835. be not a shout of utter defiance—a declaration of un qualified hostility—we know not what is. Yet this is the language of the WELLINGTON party, who, nevertheless, profess to be more amicably disposed towards the Bill than the NEWCASTLE and FAL MOUTH squad ! When the Moderates hold such doc trines, what may we not expect from the Ultras ? The truth is, whatever they may allege to the con trary, both parties are at heart equally averse to the passing of the Bill in its present—or indeed in any — shape, likely to render it available. As for their agreeing to let it go into Committee, this is a mere juggle—a trick got up for stage effect. They see that it will not do to oppose it boldly ; they will therefore allow it to enter the Dissecting-room, where they will mangle it at their pleasure. Lord BROUGHAM foresees this, and openly expressed his apprehensions on the subject last night. "He could not," he observed, " help considering, that by this course one of two, fates would await the measure ; and that instead of being boldly opposed and defeated, it would only be allowed to enjoy a lingering exis tence, and be reduced from its pristine state to such a skeleton, as its own parents could not recognize. Is this to be endured ? Never, while Englishmen possess the will and the power to right themselves. Grumble as they may, their Lordships must — nay, they shall—do us justice. We are indis pensable to them ; but they are not so to us. We can do very well without Lords. America has none, and yet she prospers ! Why, then, should we permit the longer continuance of an oligar chy which, judging from its present conduct, exists only to our detriment ? The Corporation Bill is no affair of their Lordships. It belongs to the people, and to them exclusively. On this point Lord MEL BOURNE—in a speech marked by sound reasoning and determined purpose—well observed, " the Corporation Bill is a question which peculiarly concerns the middle orders ; they feel it more, and consequently they un derstand it much better than your Lordships. This therefore is a reason why you should pay particular attention to their feelings on this subject." The Leicester petition—(which, by the bye, we erroneously ::fated yesteiday so have men signed by only twelve hundred individuals in twelve hours, whereas the numbers amounted to upwards of ten thousand) — holds pretty nearly the same language ; but as it spoke, besides, some stern, salutary truths, their Lordships' sense of dignity was offended, and they at once decided on its rejection. In future, therefore, we would advise the Leicester Reformers to address themselves exclusively to the House of Commons, for there at least they will meet with considerate attention. It is monstrous that the party who are aggrieved should be refused a hearing by the very party who are aggrieving them ; be told that they slander, merely because they speak truth ; and that they ate insolent, merely because they give expression to their sense of injury ! We congratulate our readers, and the friends of Reform in general, on the safe passage of the Irish Church Bill through the House of Commons. It was read a third time last night, and passed, amidst the loudest cheers, after a few desponding ejaculations from the gentlemen who compose the fag end of " The Faction" in the Lower House. How this great measure may fare in the future stages of its existence it is not for us to surmise. The Lords may throw it out if they please, hut let them not deceive themselves by imagining that they will gain any thing by pursuing uch a course ; for as surely as the present Bill is rejected, will the next edition of it be . still more unpalateable to its opponents. There cannot be a greater —a more fatal error, than to postpone Reform with a view to evade it. Every day supplies fresh illustrations of its necessity, and adds new converts to the cause. Public opinion is thus continually gaining strength-- co►►stantly receiving reinforcement, and as constantly r;sing in its demands. The best policy, therefore, for • those who are afraid of violent ciwnges, is to reform at once. If they attempt to dam up the river, they will find to their cost that they have rendered the salutary and fertilizing stream a devastating tor rent. But we will not anticipate evils. We trust, that when the Corporation Bill sh►ll have passed the Lords, they will be in a more tractable humour than they are at present. Alderman MARSHALL, sheriff of Norwich, has jug arrived in town with a most important Petition from the inhabitants of that city in favour of the Cor poration Reform Bill. This petition is signed by 6,631 persons, being about a fourth part of the whole male population of Norwich. Among the signatures are those of five Bankers, four Aldermen, one Sheriff; and NINE HUNDRED FREEMEN 1 The Petition will be presented to the House of Lords this evening by the Prime Minister. It is couched in re spectful language.—protests strongly against the state ment made to the House, that the presen tresident in habitants are satisfied with the Municipal Corpora tion—declares that the petitioners are ready to substan tiate by evidence at the bar of the House, the truth of the Report made by the Commissioners—and prays that their Lordships will pass unimpaired the Bill now before them, which the petitioners consider well calculated to effect that general reform in our Muni cipal Institutions which they have long earnestly de sired, by restoring the privileges and endowments usurped by the fire to the many, to whom they rightfully belong. Nine hundred freemen in one Corporation petition ing the Legislature to deprive them of their RIGHTS ! This is something. This tells a tale as to the nature and origin of these so-called rights. This petition will, we think, somewhat damp the ardour of certain hot-headed statesmen, who have declaimed so loudly against the robbery committed upon the freemen. Will the Duke of NEWCASTLE condescend to tell us when men ever before petitioned to be robbed ? Or will he deny to the freemen the right to "do as they like with their own ?:' _ And now we beg to return our best thanks to those hereditary politicians, who belong to the fire-and-fag got school, for the excellent service which they have (lone to the cause of Corporation Reform. But for their violent, explosions of wrath and vengeance against the Bill, there would not have been those striking manifestations of the popularity of the measure, which, during the last ten days, have burst forth in every part of the kingdom, and which, if they do not annihilate , will certainly overwhelm all opposition to it. Thus Providence, from apparent evil " still educes good." Thus the ignorant, the factious, the wicked, are made to work together for the general benefit. Thus the labours of a WINCHILSEA are rendered subservient to the spread of religious peace, a CUMBERLAND struggles hard in the cause of virtue, and a NEW CASTLE becomes an involuntary instrument in the ex tension of freedom. The Paris Journals of Tuesday received this morn ing, bring further intelligence of the tyrannical pro ceedings of the Government of Louis PHILLIPPE against the liberty of the Press. On Monday the Quotidienne and the Bon Sens were seized at the Post office, and their respective publishing offices, for in serting an article condemnatory of the new law against the Press, which appeared in The Sun of Friday last. We regret that the honest expression of our opinions of the conduct of the French Government, should sub ject the conductors of the Parisian Press to a system of persecution as subversive of the Orleans dynasty, as it is ruinous to individuals. This is the second time within a period of twelve months, that the French Government seized its Journals for the insertion of articles copied from The Sun. Nevertheless, we shall continue to discharge faithfully what we conceive to be our duty. So long as the KING of the FRENCH aims only at the subversion of the liberties of France, we shall lose no favourable opportunity of denouncing his condues as perfidious, reckless, and tyrannical. We hailed his elevation to the Throne of France in 1830, because we believed the nation had found in him a deliverer from the yoke of despotism ; and just with as much earnestness shall we recommend his deposition, whenever we are persuaded that his Sovereignty is incom patible with the existence of civil li ber t y. Our principles are unchanged. We supported Louis PL L IrPE so long as he respected the rtghts of his subjects, and npheld the charter ; we opposed him when he perfidiously abandoned his principles, and sought to support his Government by establishing a system of demoralizing ' espionage, without regard to the inclinations of his people. 'We opposed him still more strongly when we saw an apostate Government, acting under his imme diate commands, fostering police conspiracies through out the country for the base purpose of crushing the Liberal Press. This is a fact now too notorious to be questioned. It was repeatedly moved in the course of the trial of the prisoners of April, 1834. As we said before, we regret that the republication of our articles has exposed the Parisian Journalists to the fury of the French Government ; but even their suf ferings for such an offence will have a salutary effect upon the public mind. The people of France will at least learn that they are behind us in the European march towards free popular institutions. The Committee appointed to examine the new pro ject of law for abrogating the liberty of the Press, has consented to hear the opinions upon it, of such Editors as think proper to present themselves. Seve ral have already attended the Committee, who all de clared that, were the project of law under consideration approved of by the Chambers, the publication of a political journal would be absolutely impossible. Some changes will be made, but it is supposed they will not affect the principle of the Bill, which is most atrocious. The KING, alarmed at the menaces of the Republican journalists, has consented to have the articles with drawn which relate to the inviolability of his person. This is so far well, at least till he ceases to act as his own Cabinet. The Chamber of Peers having closed its judiciary proceedings against the Lyonese section of the pri soners of April, it is expected that it will sit to pro nounce judgment on or about the 20th ink. The number found guilty exceeds thirty, of whom only those charged with being ringleadets will be transported for life, and the rest incarcerated for terms varying from five to ten years. Louis PHILIPPE IS too consum mate a political tactician to decline extending the Royal clemency towards some few of the individuals found guilty ; the more especially as he is quite aware that in a moral point of view they have committed no crime for which the Members of his Government have not eStal:S:ie.d a pc,:c - eurrt. And now that all is nearly over—now that the ac cused have been found guilty and are to undergo the penalty of expatriation—what great advantage has the French Government gained by its unconstitutional mode of conducting the trial? The prisoners will be banished ; but was it not possible that the Govern ment might have had influence enough over an ordi nary tribunal to have them condemned to undergo the same punishment ? And even were it otherwise, was it prudent in a Government, as yet only a mere experi ment in the estimation of its people, to set aside the charter which formed the bulwark of their liberties, for the despicable purpose of striking clown thirty or forty poor misguided artizans, who were mad enough to be lieve themselves justified in attempting to remodel the institutions of their country ? When the guardians of the Charter of 1830—when the very persons who solemnly swore in the face of Heaven and of Europe to maintain its every article inviolate—set it aside to gratify their desire of personal vengeance, is it to be expected that those individuals who never entered into any compact to uphold it will respect the laws made under it, when such laws are found to stand in the way of their revenge ? No, no : human nature is too prone to copy itself, particularly where with -increased responsibility the obligation is, on every side, mutual. If the French Government, with adequate power to prosecute the abettors of rebellion before the ordinary tribunals, resorts to the frightful expedient of increasing its means of inflicting punishment by violating the I Charter, it tacitly encourages all who are disatisfied with it not to be more scrupulous in the choice of means to overturn it. With regard to the degradation of the Peerage, in being made the tools of a faithless and vindictive despot, we shall say nothing till the pri soners have had sentence pronounced upon them. The arguments which •,ve have employed against the conduct of the Government with respect to the Lyonese prisoners is equally applicable to its more recent violation of the Charter to abolish the liberty of the Press. The repetition of a perjury so fatal to the liberties of France. will . at once rouse: the people in defence of those rights which their knowledge and their bravery. wrung from the grasp of a tyrant. Lours PHILLIPPE has now openly placed himself not only above the law but the Charter, which he dares to regard as an instru ment which ought to be made subservient to his des potical and vindictive caprices. He forgets that his contempt for it may awaken a kindred feeling in the breasts of his subjects, and that once fostered - and communicated, there is an end to the 'ORLEANS dynasty in France. - Four battalions of the Foreign Legion, amounting to something less than three thousand men, sailed from Algiers on the Ist of August, on board a squadron of four French ships of the line. The port to which they are bound is not stated, but it is supposed to be Barcelona. Our advices of this morning from the North of Spain, are not of a later date than those published on Tues day. The report of the disturbances in Catalonia is confirmed. General L LAUDER is universally detested. FRENCH FUNDS—PARIS, Alluvia, 11, Five pm Cents., laif. 10c. sc. 108 f 95c.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 7th inst. announces the discovery of a plot for the murder of the Emperor of RUSSIA at the review at Kalisch. If we are to credit the report of this affair which is given in that Journal, fifty-four individuals—Frenchmen, Poles, and Piedmon tese—have been sent on this mission by the Parisian Propaganda. How the plot happened to be discovered we are not informed ; but we should prefer learning how, confided to so many, it could have escaped the vigi lance of His Imperial Majesty's spies at Paris. Hear the, German Journalist on the feeings awakened by the report of this conspiracy : " The indignation that this plot has excited is universal, and even those who were more inclined to the Liberals open their eyes, and behold with horror the abyss of guilt through which these men would lead nations to a new form. The re gulations respecting passports are much more strict, and no person is allowed to cross the frontier from our provinces to Poland ; exceptions are made only in extraordinary cases. Even in the country itself travellers must have a passport to go from one province to another, and cannot go further un less notoriously above all su l ,ieion. ,, Here we have a revelation of the EMPEROR'S motives for mooting this sham conspiracy. Poland is to be crushed. Her nationality is not yet so far destroyed, as to allay all fear of her resurrection in more than pristine vigour. The Emperor of RUSSIA knows that both Austria and Prussia are prepared to demand the restoration to the people of Poland of their just rights ; and as he wants an excuse for declining to comply with such demands, he trumps up a trumpery plot about his life being endangered by Polish con spiracies. As to the alarm or horror, which in reality would fill an y mind at such a termination of his reign, we had as well say nothing about it. The Court of Russia is too averse to scenes of blood to presume that such spectacles could be endured by the people. Brussels and German Papeis have been received this morning. Accounts from Scios say that an or dinance of the SULTAN has been published in that city, according to which the subjects of Eur, , pean Powers who possess landed property in Turkey are con sidered as Rayas, and must pay taxes and charatz as such. The free Greeks in that city have also been called on to pay the charatz. The subjects of Russia, Austria, England, &c, are exempted for the present, because further instructions are expected from Salonica. The German Papers are filled with details of pre parations for the great review at Kalisch. Among other particulars they state, that the Emperor of RUSSIA will have in his train 300 horses, the Em peror of AUSTRIA 100, and the King of PRUSSIA 70. An unauthenticated report speaks of the Kings Of SWEDEN, BAVARIA, and SAXONY, and of the Archduke CHARLES, as likely to attend 'the review. A residence is already engaged for the Duke of NAS SAU. Prince METTERNICH will soon arrive in Bo hemia, and both he and Count NESSELRODE Will join the distinguished snite. The Belgian journals bring no advices of impor tance. The Chamber of Representatives, in its sit ting of the 9th and 10th of August, had a long de bate on the eligibility of General NYPELS to a seat in the Chamber. It was decided by a majority of 40 to 35, that the General was not eligible, and conse quently that his election is void.

Extract of a Letter from Penzance, dated August 10th : " A letter was received on Sunday, the 2d August, by John Jewel Ferris, Esq., our mayor, from Lord Falmouth, our recorder, begging and entreating him to call a meeting of our worthy corporation, for the purpose of sending up a petition praying to be heard by evidence at their Lordships' bar, against the Reform Bill now before their Lordships;—they were accordingly summoned on the Tuesday, and in order to carry their point it would be necessary for eleven to be present ; but to their great mortification only nine attended, conse quently no Hall' was made or petition agreed to, much I suspect to the disappointment and regret of the Noble Lord."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The apprehensions that prevailed for several days past that the Corporation Bill would not pass to a Committee, has at length sub sided, by its having been last night allowed to go into Committee by the Lords, and in consequence of which the funds have some what improved. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off heavy yesterday at 80h * for the Account, opened this morning at 89*, at present may be quoted 89* ; Om mum has also improved from 2* to 2* / pm. Exchequer Bills, 21 23 ; India Bonds, 6 8 ; Bank Stock, 214 15. The Foreign Market has a more buoyant appearance than yes terday. The following are the quotations this morning :—Spanish Bonds left off 441 54, are now 4.5 i ; Spanish Scrip closed at 15 144, at present 154 144 discount ; Portuguese closed at 874, are now 874 4; Three peraCents., 454 a; Columbian, 321 334 ; Mexican, 34. . Our arrivals this morning are one French mail, one Ostend, and one Hamburg ; with ship letters from Jamaica, of an old date, and from Demerara. The information from the Continent by the Hamburgh arrival is of a more interesting description than that received for some time past. According to the private accounts from Berlin, serious riots have taken place in that capital, and the number killed and wounded is reported to amount to 400: the official account of the affair is in town, which corresponds in most of the statements published, with the exception of the killed and wounded, which has been greatly exaggerated. It also appears that a plot has been detected to assas sinate the Emperor of Russia at the camp of Kalisch. The information by the express from Paris and private letters state that there has been a mutiny amongst the troops of Don Car los, which we cannot give credit to, as the telegraph from Bayonne would have readily communicated so important an event. The French Funds came much the same. Five per Cents., 109 f. ; Three per Cents., 78f. 65c. ; Coupons, Of.

Sir Sidney Smith went on Sunday in full dress to the Jardin Turc, and having visited the room in which his lamented friend the late Marshal Mortier breathed his last, he approached Mme. Besson, the proprietor, and Mlle. Eugenie, the principal superintendant of the coffee-room, and informed them that he was commissioned by the family of the illustrious deceased to thank them for their attention on the late melan choly event. Sir Sidney was so affected by the scene he bad gone through, that he had great difficulty in returning to his carriage. The cholera 'has manifested itself in Genoa and Pignerolles, The Piedrsontese Gazette of the Ist, prepares the inhabitants of Turin for the visit of the epidemic. Two officers of the Lazaretto of Leghorn, having thrown two cho. lera patients into the sea, had been arrested and tried fr fr the offence. 1:73' IMPERIAL PARLI THIS DAY, THURSDAY, Arm 13. HOUSE OF COMM OiVS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. Mr. TOOKE brought up the Report of the Committee on the Cholmondeley Estate Bill. BANKRUPTS' ESTATE (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion of the LORD 'ADVOCATE, this Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be printed, with the amendments. CIVIL COURTS' (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of Mr. LYNCH, this Bill went through Com mittee, and was ordered to be reported. REFORM OF PARLIAMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE, the Report on this Bill was taken into further consideration. Mr. PRYME thought that Clause 3 gave a much too great dis cretionary power to the Sheriffs to alter the polling places. Captain GORDON thought the Clause was not inconsistent with the law, as it existed in England. After some observations from Mr. PRYME and the LORD ADVOCATE, the Clause was agreed to. Clause 6 was agreed to. Clause 7 was struck out. The other clauses were agreed to. • The House resumed ; the Chairman reported progress ; and the Report was ordered to be brought -up to-morrow. LAW OF PATENTS. Mr. TOOKE in moving the second reading of this Bill, which had been sent down from the other House, would briefly point out the object of the Bill. The object was to prevent patentees losing anything of their rights by deficiencies in the specification of their patents. It would also enable the Privy Council to prolong the term of a patent without further expense, as at pre sent, the parties being obliged, as the law now stood, to apply for an Act of Parliament: There were two provisions -- one was to subject the party infringing a patent to treble costs, in case he was unable to prove his charge against the patentee ; and the other was the imposing of penalties upon any person using the name of a patentee upon machinery not made by him. He (Mr. Tooke) believed the only objection that could be made to this Bill, was its scantiness ; but he believed it would form a good neucleus upon which future legislation on the subject might be constructed. There were many great evils still existing in the law relating to patents which required to be remedied, but as the present Bill was most useful so far as it went, he should now beg to move that it be read a second time. Mr. MACKINNON complained of the impolicy of introducing a brief measure of this nature. The Hon. Member took a review of the laws relating to patents, which had originated in a spirit of monopoly. It was perfectly useless to legislate upon this subject without doing away with the heavy expense attending the taking out of patent , '. `vY - pat he objected to in the Bill before the House mat it merely confirmed the old system of expense. The difficulty could be obviated by giving to the Excise the power of enrolling the patents of any individual making a discovery. The same machinery as that by which patents were now enrolled, could be applied, and if that was done without subjecting the individual to any expense, it would confer a real benefit upon the country. By so doing the artist would haVe all the security of the present law, and that without any expense. By such a system of law the art of invention would be encouraged. From the spread of edu cation among the lower classes, they ought to do all in their power to lower the expenses of the patents. He would feel it his duty to take the sense of the House. Mr. PARKER said, though he did not mean to oppose the Billy he felt bound to say that in the present state of the Manufactures in this country, there were many machines which required protection , and therefore he was sorry to see such an extension of the principle in the Bill of his Hon. Friend. Mr. WILK S said it was most undoubtedly necessary that some change in the law should take place, for now they were unable to compete with the manufacturers of other countries, though there was no doubt the skill in this country was superior. Mr. LENNARD hoped that the House would go into Commit' tee on the Bill, and some new clauses would be introduced to render it more comprehensive. He thought there should be no restrictions laid upon inventors as to the manner in which they should dispoee, of their inventions. It was highly desirable, also, that the law o f patents should be more correctly defined. The LORD ADVOCATE suggested that they ought not to reject this Bill, containing, as it did, many important provisions, be' cause it did not contain all they wished. It would be very un fortunate if they were to lose an opportunity of clearing u p thie Session many points which would be useful to many individuals , merely because there were many more which it was desirable to have cleared up. • Dr. BOWRING did not intend to oppose the second reading t' f , this Bill, on the contrary, he thought the subject had taken a right direction. He was glad of this discussion, as he heard many sugge s " tions in which he entirely concurred, and which showed the necessity of a more comprehensive measure hereafter. They wanted three economical tribunals which existed in some parts of the Continent, which were readily accessible without delay, and at the smallest pos" sible expense. The tribunals would be'efficient means for the pr pose of this Act, and would enable the inventor to obtain protectiv e , for his invention without the huge machinery of the Privy Council an the Courts. of Law, which in nine cases out of ten were no protection at all. There were many discoveries that only required teinPe rary assistance, as some of the discoveries with respect to metallic substances. What was really wanted was some cheap means of giving protection to inventions. Mr. PR YME perfectly concurred in what had been sai.:l al to the importance of having patents cheap, but he th , Jugl ig many parts of the measure proposed required alteratiors. Major BEAUCLERK thought it the duty of the Howie to gap e all the relief they could to the industry and intelligence of th e country. Mr. M'KINNON, in withdrawing his opposition s observedthet he certainly expected, after such men as Lord Breu g h am a nd IVl r ' Tooke were connected with the measure, to have seen one intrri duced that was calculated to do good, instead o f suc h a vvrette`" measure as the present. Dr. BOWRING explained that his propo s iti on was to etatablish a tribunal of workmen and mechanics, who would be the judges of any claims that might be advanced. The Bill was then read a second time and ordered to lie c °°. mitted -on Tuesday next. PARISH VESTRIES , The Order of the Day f or go i ng i nto C omm i ttee on t h e Bill having been read, Mr. TOOKE said he understood from his Hon. Friend. t2r, Member for Finsbury that he would all ow th e Bill to stop t"; Session, for the purpose of introducing a more comprekeps' measure next Session. the The other Orders of the Day were th en di s p ose d o f, and House adjourned at half-past one.
