RADICAL REFORM The following is the petition for Radical Reform, See. from the Cobbiet ;b, which Ives 2rese ntee on Ti urs day to the House of ClaMu lOS hy Mr. 1. Due:eerie:, who did everything that the very stringent rules of the House weuld allow to bring the matter contained in it plainly and clearly before the Members. At any rate its cirulation through the Press will place some very important facts before the country, and will, in that quarter at least, have a very beneficial effect : To the Honourable the Commons of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the Cobbett Club of London, unani mously agreed to, at a meeting of that body, on the Ist day of September, 1841. Humbly showeth, 1. That your petitioners, in their great anxiety to see a restoration of the freedom, the greatness, and the power of this country, so that it may again take its proper station amongst the nations of the earth ; and, knowing that this can be effected only by the people having re stored to them the power of exercising their ancient eons.titutional rights, have frequently petitioned former Parliaments to grant Universal Suffrage, Annual Par liaments, and Voting by Ballot. And they are daily receiving fresh evidence of the necessity for these things, gee granting of which would have rendered it wholly finneoessary for them now to trespass upon your atten tion, and occupy the pub'ic time ; a great deal of which has been (as it appears to your petitioners) hitherto spent, not in matters calculated to benefit the people, but in party squabbles, having for their object the turn ing out of one set of men, whom the Queen had se lected to be her servants in the Executive, and the putting another set of men in their place; not because the Queen had no confidence in those her servants ; but, because your Honourable House, forsooth, a se parate branch of the Legislature, had not confidence in them I Thus leaving it almost doubtful, whether the Ministers are the servants of the Crown, or whe ther they are the servants of the House of Commons ! 2. Thar, your petitioners have always understood, that the Twee Eeztes of this Realm have separate and distinct duties and privileges, which the Constitution has plainly defined for them ; and, that, beyond the limits thus defined, neither the one nor the other has the power of passing ; and this not merely to secure the harmonious working of the whole, but to ensure to the people the benefit of the separate and independent working of each Estate. 3. That, amongst those duties and privileges, your petitioners believe that the Crown, that is to say, the Highest Estate, has the prero gative of selecting its own servants, or Ministers, who are to be those whom the Crown wills to be of its Privy Council ; who are, therefore, "a noble, honour able, and reverend assembly," whose duty it is to " advise the Crown to the best of their cunning and discretion." The prerogative of the Crown, in choosing this body of men, cannot be interfered•with by either House of Parliament," or it must cease to be a prero gative. All writers upon the Constitution, declare, that, " Parliament ought not to deal, to judge, or to meddle with, any prerogative of the Crown ;" that they can "increase the prerogative of the Executive, but they cannot invest themselves with it : they have it not in their power to command its motions ; they can only unbind its hands :" that Privy Councillors are made by the Sovereign's nomination only, and that the will of the Sovereign is their so'e constituent : that "the dissolution of the Privy Council depends upon the plea sure of the Sovereign, and that he may, whenever he thinks proper, discharge any particular member, or the whole of thorn, and appoint others ; and that the Con stitution has provided a remedy at law, either by im peachment or by criminal information, for their delin quencies : that " neither House of Parliament has a right to animadvert upon the Sovereign, nor have any jurisdiction over him in civil matters, as that would be to devroy one of the constituent parts of the Sovereign power ;" that is to say, would be a lopping off of one third part of the Constitution at a blow, sinking the in dependence of the Crown, and making it a mere tool in the hands of the other two parties, who may strip it of all rem pining power, and leave it as an useless and de spicablo, bauble. 4. That your petitioners, believing that these opinions are in unison with our ancient Constitution, cannot avoid stating them to your Honourable House; and they beg also to be permitted to make another statement, which they take from the " Act of Limitation of the Crown ;" it is this, " that as person who holds any office, or place of profit, under the King, or who is receiving a pension from the Crown, shall bo capable of serving as a Member of the House at Censmons ;" and which, although your petitioners are not igncrant of the adroitness with which it is evaded, is a most wise, just, and wholesome law, which they hope soon to see rigidly reinforced. 5. That the consideration of these things has brought to your petitioners' recollection, a long list of most grievous innovations upon the Constitution of our fore fathers ; each of which has been an abridgement of the %Jody ut ram people or niece realms, anethe effect of the whole, united, has been to leave the main part of the people with scarcely more political rights than are possessed by the people of Algiere, of Egypt, or of Turkey. 6. That the first and greatest of these innovations, may it please your Honourable House, is the one from whence all the others have flowed ; namely, the with holding from the mass of the people their ancient right of suffrage. This your petitioners believe to be the great master-evil that has produced consequences most fatal to the well-being of the people, of which every man must be convinced, when he reflects that from this source alone has been produced— The dividing the Church and Abbey lands amongst the aristocracy, and compelling the people to maintain the poor, instead of their being main tained out of the tithes and revenues of the Church ; The throwing the Church-rate; upon the people, in stead of causing the Churches to be repaired and maintained out of the fruits of the livings ; The appropriating the property of the Guilds and Fraternities, and Charitable Bequests, amongst the aristocracy and teeir dependents ; The uniting of parishes, and amalgamating the pro duce of the livings, and giving them to one man, instead of permitting each parish to have its sepa rate priest ; The giving a plurality of votes, at a vestry, to rich men, and thus destroying the weigkt of the vote of the poor man ; The inventing and introducing the cunning and in quisitorial Excise system, illorder that the taxes should be taken from the people in a manner that they cannot resist, any more than they can resist the robber who has his hands in their pockets, after having first blindfolded and bound them ; The establishing, first triennial, and then septennial Parliaments ; which, down to•the period of any thing-but." glorious Revolution of 1688" had been annual ; The taking from the Crown its landed estates, and dividing them amongst the aristocracy, and making the Sovereign a sort of pensioner, to be maintained out of the taxes raised upon the people ; The leaving, in innumerable cases, the convicting and punishing of persons at the discretion of men who are appointed by, and removable at, the pleasure of the Minister of the day ; The trying, and impri son i ng of men without trial, by jury, for simple trespass, in treading on corn-fields and protecting rich men fro - such law , when,wit h from -such and dogs, they s p or t upon these' same ' cora fields. The eerrine: * -',eg auir e t ip tieje .tfi theiy ag e d parente, their ' id to h in d ivied:e:l their' f en ce of . the country ;t o su b m i t tr are ilit " us cipLae, a'd...l3ll.nihnl.7eetsfe.jueeeflkiwulirer,set, vice, whilst b o i f la o t re tb e e rs y , am! to tee's. their it are refused the right of voting at elections, on the ground that they have no stake in the country ; to three men, wh o ar e ca ll ed " Poor- The delegating law Commissioners," the power of making laws to bind the people of this country I a circumstance, the ex i s t en ce of which is almost sufficient to make the dry bones of our brave and free forefathers to rattle in their graves, from shame and indignation at the tameness and baseness of their degenerate sons. 7. These constitute a mass of grievous innovations n the !;berty of the people, may it please ycur Hon. House, the smallest of which would never have existed f the people had not been robbed of the power of re turning Members to their own House of Parliament ; which power they had exercised for so many ages; and the continuance of the possession of which would have prevented the hands of power from grasping many other things unjustly, amongst which are the Army, the Navy, the Colonies, the Diplomatic Affairs, the Col lages, yea, everything, to which are attached great heaps of mousy, it enclosed in this unrelentinggrasp ; and this same Polio, now, by means of the " New Poor-law" (which was passed " to bring the people of England, by degrees, to live upon a coarser sort of food"), hopes to grasp som e t wenty, or thirty, millions more a-year, out i of the wages of the labouring part of the people—from t h't part,of the people, who arc, at this time, in such of state of poverty, that the agonizing cries for bread, o millions of them, are piercing our ears and harrowing our hearts, and excitin g in our minds grief and shame, and a burnin g an d i nexpressible rage, when we reflect ' on the causes o f such sufferings tbat ; a ai nd th , ou mo h re ebsepe cially, when we find sufferings wer e l ong g . t se ag a e nd, fo n r o etold h , nothing was ; done to prevent th em w t at they pres en t themselves in such f earful array bef ore us, we are ickened to the soul at the almost total absence of any efforts to remedy them, or cf any sympathy for the sufferers, being evinced by those who have the power to relieve them. 8.

(From the Paris Journal La Prem.) The American Union, the constitution of which has been so much boasted of as admirable, is a singular country. Disturbances are breaking out on every point, and the gravest symptom connected with them is that they meet with no repression. The odious Lynch Code is likely to be substituted everywhere for regular legislation. It is the invasion of barbarism over civilization. The President, that chief elected by the people, is decried, spit upon, and insulted even in 11:s own house, by a mob of women and street-porters, who burn him in effigy, whilst they are waiting for the op. portunity of doing it in reality. In Congress, the American Lycurgians from time to time strip off their coats, and argue with their fists ; and these are the most moderate . some there are who prefer a contro versy with the knife. In the Government, the anarchy is still greater : we sea Ministers presenting important measures to the Chambers,and exertingall their eloquence to have them adopted, and, then, after their labour the President, of whom they are the representatives and the organs, destroys all their work by a stroke of his veto. The Ministers then naturally withdraw ; but in the United States changes of Ministry are effected in a pecular way. Before they retire there are Ministers who con sider it indispensable to the dignity of the Government to treat the President, the depository of the Executive power, the living personification of the majesty of the people, like the lowest of clowns. Mr. Ewing, the Se cretary of the Treasury, reproaches the Chief of the Executive with having neither law nor faith in putting his veto upon the very measures which he had advised and called for, with being more changeable than a wea thercock, or more deceitful than hypocrisy in person, or more silly than all the imbeciles whose united suffraies made him the first authority of the State. This is very flattering for the sovereign people is it not ? But this is not all. If there be Ministers who retire when they are turned out, there are others who prefer remaining. This is what Mr. Webster, the Minister for Foreign Affairs has done. He is a Whig, and all the new mem bers, who replace the retired Ministers, are Jacksonitci. Mr. Webster, however, does not consider himself mis placed amongst them, and gives a curious reason for his obstinacy in remaining at his post. He says he has at heart the termination of the affairs which be com menced ! as if all the other Ministers could not assign a j similar motive ! Amongst these affairs is that of M'Leod, which specially affects the question of the sovereignty of particular States. The Cabinet to which Mr. Webster belonged fell into disgrace in public opinion chiefly be cause it was desirous of arranging this affair amicably with England, without allowing the pretensions of the State of New York, by which M'Leod is prosecuted. No matter ; it is precisely for that that Mr. Webster remains. This is a strange spectacle ! What would the admirers of the American Constitution say, if such anomalies were seen in the constitutional monarchies of Europe ? Let us add to the above, that this moral people have three or four times committed bankruptcy ; that this economical people, who three or four years ago did not owe a single dollar, are now obliged to bor. row sixty millions to cover only a portion of their de ficit ; that this philanthropic people have not less than three millions of slaves ; that this enlightened people resort to the prohibition of foreign products to augment their Customs revenue, the most stupid piece of in consistency that could enter the human brain ; that this people, with all the chances of prosperity, are daily on the brink of dissolution, so much so that the other day, they were nearly falling to pieces on the question of the nomination of an Ambassador to England. We have had in France, for a time, Republicans, who, wish ing not to be confounded with the democracy whose exploits had been witnessed on this side the Atlantic, solemnly called themselves disciples of the American school. We should like to know what they think of their school now. The theory may perhaps be good, but the practice is certainly detestable. MARSHAM. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE by POLICEMEN. This hitherto peaceful and quiet town was, on Friday evening last, the scene of great riot and disorder, from the following circumstances, which have been detailed to us by a correspondent, upon whom we can rely. On the Thursday evening, some idle boys assembled to perform what is not an unusual ceremony_in country towns, te rate statrgr as it is called, in eonseqesence of supposed ill-treatment and assault, by Swinburne, the police officer, upon his wife. To say the least of it, it is a foolish and at the same time a harmless proceeding, and would doubtlese be more honoured in the breach than in the observance, Swinburne was, as might be expected, much annoyed at this proceeding, and after some altercation with the partie., succeeded that evening in putting a stop to their sport. On the following night, about nine o'clock, the accustomed ce remonies were resumed, and Swinburne, with a police officer from Bedale of the name of Macpherson, whom Swinburne had brought to the town, immediately set about with great violence to disperse the persons who were assembled in the streets, and their manner of doing so excited general disgust and indignation. These peace officers had each of them a brace of pistols in their hands, and, in a state of great excitement, were presenting them at any person who dared to remon strate with them upon their mad career. A young man who was crossing the street, and taking no part whatever in the disturbance, was instantly seized by these fellows, and was about to be dragged to the lock up, when many respectable bystanders remonstrated with the officers upon their behaviour, and desired them to release their prisoner. The only reply given was a determined threat on the part of these men, that if any person interfered with them they should have the contents of the pistols, which, by their own confession, were loaded. By this time the people were so exasperated that an outbreak was momentarily expected, which, in all probability, would have ended in bloodshed. Swin burne and Macphersoo were, however, at last prevailed upon to release their unoffending prisoner, and Messrs, Jackson and Ascough, the town's constablee, at the re quest of the respectable inhabitants of the place, under took to quell the riot which at this time had arisen to a great pitch. They immediately insisted upon Swine burne and Macpherson going home, assuring them that if they did not, they would net be answerable for the consequences, and that the peace of the town would be soon restored. To this they assented with much diffi culty, and in a very short time the persons quietly dis persed, and the streets were completely cleared in less than half an hour. The two police-officers were, how ever, determined to hale their revenge that night, and about eleven o'clock, when all was peaceable, they proceeded to the house of one Robert Atkinson, who, the evening before, had taken some part in the pro ceedings above alluded to, and with the assistance of Certain Harcourt's keeper and watcher, succeeded in ga;nitig an entrance into the house. They immediately procceecled up stairs, where some females of the family . were in bed, and dragged Robert Atkioson out of his bed and took hies, at that time of the night, to the lock up. It should be o 5 eked that this person had never been out of his house that night, and had taken nn part in the affray whoever, except that on the Thursday evening he had refused to assist Swinburne to stop the proceedings of that' evening, for which offence he had obtained a warrant. These ruffians then pro ceeded to the house of a person of the name of Benson, accompanied by their colleagues, the keeper and watcher, and there attempted to force an entrance into the house for the purp o se o f this they were unsuccessf u l, win dow to pieces and fired of t h e i r apprehending one of his sons. In though they broke the t p h i s e t o g l r s e taot thealarm inmatesof the pistols several times, to th a r e o it ig h h ho t r e ho w o io d, do p w re o s f entingtheir They remained about the house the house. the morning. daygnfoaltlnagptipeilaretwdotoo o'clock k eas i e n feeling of disgustOaand indignation the general rather than diminish, and on hearing that it was the do intention of Captain H arcourt to send keep tah peace, number 1 of his labourers as spe c i a l consta b les to k a meeting was immediat e ly ca ll e d at the ee l) 1200 at which all the respectabl e inhabitants attended, and it was unanimously resolv e d th at no such step would was at all necessary, but on the contrary, if taken, lead to a more serious outbreak. Information was seat to Captain Harcourt that the respectable inhabitants would be answerable for the peace of the town, and would undertake to stop the riot and confusion, which, in their judgment, was solely attributable to the officers. At this meeting a resolution was also unanimously adopted to the effect, that Swinburne and his colleagues were the cause of all the disturbance?, and that he was wholly unfit to hold the cffice, and that application be immediately mule to the inspectors for his instant dis charge and removal from the town. After this meeting the teem became as peaceable as possible, and nothing could more clearly show the good feeling and peaceable demeanour of the inhabitants, than the readiness with which all parties co operated in restoring harmony and quiet. A meeting of the inspectors would be held yes terday, when we doubt not the decision come to would be such as to guard against aoy such turbulent and dis graceful proceedings in future.—York Courant. ZOOLCGICAL SOCIETY.—The last month had been rich in presents—particularly in two lions and a lioness, from Sir Thomas Heade, her Majesty's Consul at Tunis ; and amongst other presents announced were a green and an Alsace monkey, two golden eagles, an Australian d og , & c . There were also presented to the Museum six skins of rare monkeys from Fernando, b;: G. Knapp, Esq., and 57 specimen; of birds, and three quadrupeds from Australia, from G. Knapp, Esq.

The Court was occupied during the day in hearing applications to bail. IN THE MATTER OF SAMCEL GARWOOD. The insolvent, who had been in the employment of a gentleman named Parkinson, as coachman, and was ar rested for the small sum of 21., applied to be released on bail. The Learned Commissioner, in accepting bail, was informed by one of the sureties that he came forward at the request of the insolvent's master, upon which he re marked from the schedule it appeared the debt was in curred to the detaining creditor for a public-house score, and it did certainly strike him as rather odd that the insolvent's master should interest himself so much in getting bail, when the original debt (since raised by law costs to 9/. or 10/.) was only 21. There was more in it than he could fathom.—Bail accepted. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN MOORE. The insolvent applied to be bailed, and called, as his sureties, two persons, one of whom, Mr. Salmon, a tanner, residing in Red Lion-street, underwent a strict examination by the Learned Commissioner, and was eventually refused. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS—Mr. Salmon, have you ever been bail for any other person before. Mr. Salmon —Yes, and I would be bail for you if you wanted it. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS—You will please to re collect yourself, and not be so flippant in your answers. In how much might you have become responsible in those cases ? Mr. Salmon—l can't exactly say. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS—About how much ? Mr. Salmon—l gave you your answer before. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS (throwing the papers on the table)—l shall not accept as bail an individual who insults the Court, and I shall take care he shall not appear here again in that capacity. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. THE REVENUE. STANDARD.—In consequence of the 10th of Octo ber filling on Sunday, the Quarter's Revenue will be made up this evening. We understand the account will show a trifling increase on the corresponding quarter of last year. There is a slight falling oil' in the Customs. In the Excise there is an increase ; the Post-office re venue has slightly increased, but not to any amount. The principal increase is in the Sugar Duties, which confirms the soundness of the opinions expressed by Mr. Goulburn in May last, when Mr. Baring brought for ward his proposition for an alteration of the duty on foreign sugar. As we before said, however, we under stand that on the aggregate the amount of the quarter's income will be rather over the corresponding quarter of last year. GLOBE.—The American correspondence of a Morn ing Paper contains an intimation that the M'Leod affair is not likely to end in a war, because Sir Robert Peel has been placed at the head of the Government. We really cannot see how the fact of the Right Honourable Baronet's accession to power can possibly affect the deci sion of the Jury in the case of M'Leod, any more than the verdict of an inquest at which he might happen to preside, could be influenced by the return of Mr. Wakley as Member for Finsbury. During the trial, that is by this time, we trust, at an end, we do not suspect that the Counsel on either side attempted to give in evidence the change in the British Government, as being at all mate rial to the issue ; and it is therefore mere rhodomontade to declare that M'Leod's case has a better chance of being satisfactorily disposed of now that Sir Robert Peel has been allowed to form a Ministry. The decision, then, that will be arrived at cannot in the smallest degree depend upon the recent formation of a Tory Cabinet ; and it would be absurd to ask whether the con duct of the British Government, in the event of the con demnation of the prises..., will b• difroresit, now that the Conservatives are in place, from what it would have been: if there bad been still a Liberal Cabinet. In case of an un satisfactory result the Whigs had instructed their Minis-. ter to withdraw at once. Could the Liberals have done more,. or will the Tories do less ? And if Sir R. Peel sanctions this. course, how on earth will his accession to place have• lessened the chances of hostility ? With regard to any particular sympathy between the British Government and that of the United States, which might induce the 1 atter to fall more readily into the former's views, it can hardly be ~supposeel that republican rulers can. co-operate more cordially with Tories than with Liberals ; particularly when it is remembered that: the English Conservatives have greatly censured the Whig Ministry for not assuming a much more de cided tone of hostility to the American authorities than was considered by Lord Melbourne's Cabinet either ne cessary or expedient. We ardently hope, and strongly anticipate, as we did long before the Tories came into office, that peace will be maintained ; but the blessing, if we are allowed to enjoy it, will have been, under Pro vidence, the work of the late and not of the present Go vernment, however strenuously the latter may strive to pilfer the merit of its predecessor's policy. COURIER.—There is nothing so disgusting in the whole range of party polemics as the wilful and habitual frauds and falsehoods perpetrated by Whig- Radical writers and parties on the Corn-law question, whenever the comparatively venial offence of absolute ignorance cannot be pretended. The Morning Chronicle is the most patent, because a diurnal, practitioner in the two schools both of ignorance and sys tematic aberrations from truth. A recent article on the effects of the Corn-laws upon wages, or ra ther on the quantities of bread which certain rates of wages of the same descriptions of workmen will pur chase respectively here and abroad, is the last striking illustration of the correctness of the facts we have chal lenged. The writer, in the first place, commences with taking for granted, as an irrecusable authority, a report, published some time since by Mr. Symons, on the comparative rates of wages in this country and on the Continent. Now, although we believe Mr. Symons to have executed his mission and made his inquiries in a much more conscientious spirit, and with a more scrupu lous regard to truth, than the Smiths, Cobdens, and Bowrings, yet we are far from conceding that he pos sessed, or possesses, those indisputable and special qua lifications for such a task, without which any statement or opinion must be liable to prove extremely fallacious when brought to the test. If, however, the Chronicle had only fairly reported his authority, he would hive acquainted hl3 readers with the conclusion arrived at, and partially avowed by Mr. Symons, that, with all the disad'vantages of high-priced food the condition of the English labourer materially and physically is superior and much more enviable on the whole than that of the continental workman. As we have remarked on, the want or special qualifications for exact research which - muse- -always tend to impeach the competency of that, gentleman as a standard authority in the case, it is only proper to state in our justification that, whatever May be his pretensions on the score of gTeral principles, he is so utterly wanting in all knowledge of the practical details of trading and manufacturing economy, as to be quite incapacitated even for instituting a comparison of wages betwixt British and foreign mechanics apparently of the same class, and engaged in the same description of labour. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 28.—One of the most important questions of political economy will probably bc soon decided, as far as the Royal Council is concerned, namely, that ofa fixed duty on the importation and expor tation of corn. Like England, we have had for severalyears a slidding scale. As the King himself proposed in the last Diet, and the proposal in its principal feature was approved by the Estates, we should not think it possible that difficulties could arise in the final decision, and yet some persons contemplate obstacles hard to be overcome on the part of members who allege supposed privilegse. By the death of Dr. Forester, uncle of Lord Forester, a large amount of Church patronage becomes vacant, the Rev. Dr. having, as appeared by the Report of the Ecclesiastical Revenue Commissioners, held the following preferments :—Prebend in the Cathedral of Worcester ; vicarage of St. John, Bedwardine, Worces ter; rectory of Little Wenlock, Salop ; rectory of Brose ley, Salop ; rectory of Linley, Salop; and perpetual curacy of Benthall, Salop. The vicarage of St. John, Bedwar dine, is in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Worcester ; the rectories of Little Wenlock, Broseley and Linley, are in the patronage of Lord Forester ; and the perpetual curacy of Benthall is in the patronage of tlAe vicar of Much Wenlock, Salop. By the Act of 1.9.`„ and 2d Vict. c. 106, no clergyman can in future hold more than two livings, and the two must be within ten miles of each other, and under a certain amount in value and also in population. W e have to announce the death of Lord Monson, which took place on Thursday. His Lordship was born in February, 1809, and succeeded to the Peerage while in his first year. He married in 183 4 , Theodosia, youngest daughter of Latham Blacker, Esq., by whom, he has not, we believe, left any children. If so, his successor is Mr. William John Monson, only son of the late Hon. Colonel William Monson, who is married and ' has a family, his eldest son, William john, having been born in February, 1829. On Monday the Teviot, one of the steam friga'.es intended to carry the mails to and from the West ladies was launched from the building -yard of Messrs. I.Cobert Duncan and Co. She w en t off in fine style, air:idst the cheers of a vast concourse of spectators. The 'Teviot is the sixth vessel of this line that has been built in the Clyde.—Geenoch advertiser. MIDDLESEX COURT OF RE- As that vaie in whose busorn tile bright ers And so, no doubt, the monks of Whitefriars in days of yore sung in jovial " roundelaie," of the pretty little valley which, in the language of Fitzstcpbens, received the "choice fountains of water, sweet, wholesome, and clean, springing forth among the glistenin g pebble stones," from " Holywell, Clerkenwell, and St. Cie ' ment's well ;" and it would not be altogether wicked to opine that as their holinesses, after indulging in a joy- Gus gaze upon the then delightful uplands of Hemp stead and Highgate, sunk into delicious repose to the murmurings of " the River of Wells," they dreamed of other things than that " Their souls, like its waters, might mingle in peace." The most prophetic of that idle folk, however, never dreamed of the mishap that would befal Master Frederick Gulley in the waters of the said valley rt hen " tie River of Wers' should be metamorphosed into—F!eet ditch, and the " ver dant slopes" and " sweet-retiring walks" should bo " transmogrified " into Saffron-hills, Back-hills, Cow crosses, Field-lane!, and Farringdon-tnarkets. With out attempting to unwind a most learnedly and in tricately spun discourse upon the strange and innumer able mutations of our metropolitan streams and valleys, let the case of " Gulley v. Frampton " furnish an ex emplification of the vicissitudes to which they are sub jected. Mrs. Gulley's son Frederick had " just had all his clean things put on," and gone out to fly his kite in the neighbourhcod of Battle-bridge, when the son of Mrs. Frampton joined him. The Lite was " rose," as Mrs. Gulley described it, and Mrs. F.'? 500 wanted to send " a messerg er" up to it ; Mrs. G.'s son refused permission, and a bout of fistycuffs ensued, during which the latter was by the former rolled into the " River of the Wells," and got a soaking in its " sweet and wholesome waters" for his juvenile urbanity. " Here, Gentlemen," said Mrs. Gulley, who had be come animated as she proceeded with her tale "here, Gentlemen," said she, "is Master Freddy's white trousers," untying a bundle which she had placed on the green-baized table, and holding up to the view of the Court with as much tenderness as if they had been tinder, a pair of blue-black miniature unmentionables. " White trousers, ma'am, did you say ?" inquired a half-dozing Juror. " Yes," answered Mrs Gulley, " white trousers, clean on the very afternoon he went out with his kite." " And where was it he fell in, did you say ?" asked the Juror. " Fleet Ditch," answered Master Frederick Gulley, stepping from behind thQ protection of his mamma's petticoat. The Juror—What the Fleet Ditch as runs down agin Blackfriars-bridge into the Thames? " The identical ditch," replied Mrs. Gulley. " It's a wonder he warn't smothered," ejaculated the Juror—" a reeler wonder." " And yet I've heard," observed a second Juror, " that ships of war used to go up it, and that there was a battle fought upon it romewherc near the Small-pox Hospital." A third Juror—l've the whole history of it at home, from the hills at Hampstead down to Chatham-place. " Indeed," said the two other Jurors, in one voice. " Third Juror—Yes ; I bougbt it for fourpence. There's the full particulars about what Hatton-garden and all Clerkenwell was before ever Queen Elizabeth was thought of, and But the colloquy was cut short by the Commis- SIONER calling upon the three learned pundits to attend to the case. It was admitted by Mrs. Frampton that her gon rolled Master Gulley into the ditch, but she pleaded provocation Much wag said on both sides, and ulti mately the parties retired to settle matters. " If you two gentlemen will meet me to-night at the -," said the fortunate possessor of the tourpenny pamphlet to his brother Jurors, " we'll have a pipe to gether, and go through it." Agreed non. con. The Jurors are, doubtlessly, by this time, as well ac quainted with the ancient beauties of the " vallies com mencing at Battle-bridge, and extending to the banks of the Thames," as Fitzstephens or the Danes themselves. PARIS CORRECTIONAL POLICE. A LUCRETIA (NOT BORGIA).—ThO hero of a case which was heard a few days since, by name Guillaume Lebeau, had li:tle to thank Dame Nature for in the configuration of his features, for he was assuredly one of the ugliest of her productions. Strange to say, however, this Quasimodo had ingratiated himself into the good graces of a very pretty young girl, who, after due court, he had prevailed on to be his "for better, for worse," and they lived very happily together. The extraordinary disparity in the appearance of this worthy pair, induced a gay Dan Juan, of the Faubourg to ima gine he might make an easy conquest of the lady. The name of this Adonis , for so he considered himself, was Anatole ; and, for the furtherance of his stherne on the wife, he sought the acquaintance of her husband, and became in a short time quite a friend of the family. Finding himself thus situated be began to consi3er of the means of carrying his plan into execution. While thus pondering, fortune appeared to favour his views by giving him an opportunity, during the absence of the husband, of " unbosoming" himself to the lady, and of " unfolding his tale" of love into what he hoped to find her willing ears. But in this case be had reckoned without either his host or hostess. The lady immedi ately threw a damper on his ardour, and told him that if he persisted in such language she would inform her husband of his intended treachery. Anatole was not, however, to be discouraged, and at another interview resuming his addresses, she really car ried her threat into execution. The husband, as may be supposed, was in a frenzy at this disclosure, and Anatole entering most mal apropos before the first burst of passion had gone off, was immediately assailed by the eraaged husband, and soundly reminded that it was not handsomeness of features that could command success with a virtuous wife, and the would-be Don Juan retired from the scene of action with a face so disfigured arto prevent all his schemes of seduction for sa me time to come. It was for this assault and bat. to ry the husband now had his place among the prisoners at the' bar. On being questioned by the President what he had too say to the charge, Lebeau answered—Yes, I did c einmit the assault, and let him state to the Court why I did so. Anatole—Because he imagined that I was paying c ourt to his wife. Madame Lebeau—There was no imagining in it ; it w as truth, and it was I who told my husband of it. Anatole—But a wife has no business to set on her asband to beat one in this way. Madame Lebeau—l told you several times to be q uie t with your nonsense, and it was not until you had p era isted the third time that I did tell him. L ebeau---And I soon put an end to it ; and that is the whole of the affair. A natole—You beat we to a mummy. L ebeau—Not at all. I only gave you a gentle tap on y our nose to spoil your beauty and prevent your bei.m; so vain of yourself, and trying to seduce other me gi's wives. Anatole—You pummelled me all over. I have the eel lificates of the medical men who saw me. Lebeau—Well, well, with all my heart. Let the Co urt condemn me if I am in the wrong, but although 1, we my trial, I have saved my wife. rh, Court, however, did not condemn him, but, ap: pre( tie ting the manly conduct of the husband acquitted him oa f the assault, and condemned Anatole to all'cosbs. 4rfhe pretty and virtuous wife tcok her Crustal:Alt arum ` awl t ripped gaily out of Court, saying to the, chagrined Antt ale, " You see what you get by attempting to se d•uce other men's wives, although their husbands may tot b e an Adonis." IL' UMOURS ANENT THE KIRK. ' C'.iere were yesterday a great Variety of rumours a& it in town, with respect to the measure of Church pat ification, which Sir William Rae alluded to in his • ape ech at the late election for Bute. It was said that a E ill For accomplishing this object was actually in the prit lc r's hands—that it had been approved by the lead in 4 Non-Intrusionists—that Sir G. Sinclair had gon , a i o London in the end of last week with full powers on the part of "the Church"—(as the Edinburgh clique calls itself)—that a call by the majority of pa tishia tiers was to be the requisite plaster for all sores— that,.l sets were to be introduced in the working of pat? ' 0 nage, which, sinful though it be, and anti-scrip tur 11 , is yet to be swallowed along with the temporal itie a annexed to it—and, in short, that the Gordian ko at is to be neatly and quietly untied by some rmgi cal hand, hitherto untried in the fashions job of setting th, i Kirk to rights. All this, we have good reason to thi a.k, is sheer romance. It was impossible for Sir W. R. r,„ w ho was at Rothcsay on Tuesday last, to go the nc eto London, where he has since been, and from wh 3a ce he has again departed, and to concoct even the : rudest draft of an Act of Parliament in the c,otirs, ) of two rapid jourreys within the week ; and, t heretore, the printing aid all the rest of it may be ffairly thrown overbor.rd as a weak invention of the en coy y. Sir William Rae is too discreet a man to cc nip romise Limse:f or his chief on an intricate subject of th i 3 kind ; and Sir Robert Peel stands on too high gr owl ,d to commit himself (after the Renfrew affair) it to .the hands of such negotiators as Mr. Alexander I- )e,,10p, Mr. Candlish, and Mr. John Hamilton. It is not ver)' likely that the Government would commit it ;elf rashly in this matte:, when reserve and de.. la 3 7 , for the purpose of mature deliberation, is the ii• to -of policy which has been adopted with regard tP--- el very other branch of national affairs. It is tafnitti 1 that Ow Ambassadors of the high party who h t iv° returned from London, give out that they have ; lot obtained anything by their voyage, except that +. 4 1, ley have learned that the other party have n o t got ti l i- ear of the Government. Just so—Sir Robert P( ;e l i g nt t likely to make such ambassadors the depo si';orics of L is State secrets, and, in the meantime, we small contt •nn a to treat all the sinister repol t s spread • t.br ea d on eil -i . subj . ect, for obvious purposes , as the 1 em anat i ons of 14, tons Iraud.—.Edinbw•gh Observer.

NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The Com mittee officially appointed "to take into consideration the promotion of the fine arts in this country, i n connection with the rebuilding of the new Houses of Parliament," have, at length, elicited sufficient evi dence to justify it in adopting and recommending that measures should be taken without delay, to encourage the fine arts, by employing them in the decorations in the new Houses of the Legislature, and which are now in course of erection. Mr. Barry, the architect, having been requested to inform th e C omm i ttee, the superficies o the different portions of the buildings which could be appropriated to painting, and also the number of positions or places in which sculpture could with advantage be placed, has stated those to be as follow —ln St. Stephen's hall, 3,000 feet; Royal gallery, 2,140; the Queen's robing-room, 1,168; lower corridors, fronting the river, 5,072 ; upper corridors, fronting the river, 5,672 ; House of Lords, 1,800; House of Commons, 1,260 ; in the corridors from the central saloon, 1,325 ; conference hall, 1,340; in the lobbies of the House of Lords, 1,036; the lobby of the House of Commons, 1,260; in the Com mittee rooms 25,350 ; besides numerous other less im portant portions of the building.---Total, 49,823 feet. In Westminster Hall, the superfices capable of being de voted to this purpose is 6,160 feet; but Mr. Barry con sidered it to be absolutely requisite that the roof of this building should be " pierced" in various places equidis tant, so as to admit of an increased quantity of light, the present lantern not being adequate for that purpose. The paintings to be either in fresco or oil, as in the Houses of Parliament, and the designs to be taken from. the most prominent features in British history. WHEAT PROM SEED 3,500 YEARS OLD.--, At a late meeting of the East Suffolk Agricultural As sociation at Saxmundham, by far the most inte resting object shown was a sample of wheat grown from seeds taken from an Egyptian mummy supposed to have been incased 3,500 years ! This was exhibited by W. Long, Esq., of Hurts Hall. It was white wheat, the ears of which were considerably larger and broader than the ears of English wheat, appearing to grow double upon one stem ; and the straw was long and stout. The practice of the ancient Egyptians was to en close grains of wheat in the mummy cases before de posited in their resting places; but that the wheat should retain its vital principle through so many ages was re garded as one of those great wonders in the economy of nature which have baffled the skill of man.—Leamington Spa Chronicle. LF YEARLY "MEETING OF TirL] (Vito3l OUR. OWN coI.RESPOSDENT. ) LIVERPoOL, THURSDAY, OCT. 7. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Proprietors in the Chester and Birkenhead Railway was held at the Clarendon-rooms in this town, at 12 o'clock to-day, for the purpose of receiving a report and statement of the general accounts from the opening of the line, and transacting other important business. The Chair was occupied by HENRY DixoN, Esq., the President of the Board of Directors. The meeting lasted for upwards of an hour and three quarters, and, when contrasted with sumo of the former meetings of this Company, was remarkable for the unanimity of business like manner in which its proceedings were conducted. The report, which extended to considerable length, was read by Mr. Mallaby, the Company's solicitor. The accounts which commenced on the day the railway was opened, the 21st of Oct. 1840, and were brought down to the 30th of June, 1841, showed a surplus of upwards of 5,00C1. The average rate of fare upon the line was lid. per passenger per mile—less by a halfpenny, and in some instances a penny, than that charged upon other lines in this country. The extreme lowness of the fares, and the expenditure incurred in conveying passengers across the river Mersey to and from Liverpool, were considered as the chief causes of the com parative smallness of the profits ; and the Direc tors desired to call the attention of the Proprietors to the latter subject, in the hope of their being able to abolish such an incubus. They also conceived t would 1). - desirable to have a tunnel formed at the Birkenhead station, to communicate with the water-side, and thus do away with the expenses of omnibuses for the convey ance of passengers thither. They thought it right not to make any dividend on the surplus at present for reasons of a cogent nature, which would more particularly appear from the statement of the ac counts, but to pay a dividend at the next half-yearly meeting ; and this they hoped would be the last sacrifice which the Proprietors would have to make, on account of the undertaking. The Directors had taken into consideration the propriety of dispensing with the services of their paid Treasurer, but they had not, as yet, come to any resolution, on the subject ; they had, moreover, turned their atten tion to the details of the several departments of the ex penditure, with a view to their diminution. It was with feelings of gratitude that the Directors informed the Proprietors, that although the passenger traffic had in creased upon the line, no accident had occurred to any one, nor had there been any injury experienced by the carriages, although the rate of travelling was equal to that on any other line in the kingdom. Mr. J. MOLYNEAUX moved the adoption of the Report. Mr. E. GERARD seconded it, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. JACKSON, of Birkenhead, then made a proposi tion to the Company to pay the sums of 24,3501. for tlle ferry between Liverpool and Woodside, and 5,700/. for a new steamboat they had purchased, and to grant the right in perpetuity to the Company to convey railway passen gers from Mankstown-ferry to Liverpool. The proposition, which appeared fair and reasonable, caused considerahk, discussion, and the Proprietors em powered the Directors to enter into a negotiation, with a view to its being effected. The meeting then separated. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Current of October 8. ) SUGAR.—The demand for B. P.
