Mr. JAMES said, that rainy persons regretted that the divisions on this occasion had been so frequent. For his p r, he rejoiced at the circumstance, as it would show the country the factious nature of the opposition which hid been made to his Majesty's Government.—( Hear, hear.) The question was, whether the power of giving away the public money should be sold to the possessors of rotten boroughs, or whether it should he given to the legislative representatives of the people ?—(Hear, bear.) The Hon. Gentl e men seemed determined that that power should still be sold, by sho ring that even a majority of that House wa s ineffective to check csrruptien. The people of Gl a sgow might, therefore, hoist their black flag as soon as they chose.—( Stentorian shouts of •" Question, ques tion, question," " Divide, divide, divide.") Mr. C. PELHAM said that he was not a rotten Mem ber•—(A laugh.) If Government were hostile to rotten boroughs, why did they not relinquish those in their own hands?—(Loud cries for a division.) Lord TULLAMORE slid that he also rejoiced at the numerous divisions which had taken place, since they proved that there was still a party in that. House--s(Heir, hear, hear)—who, while they existed, would strenuously maintain the admitted rights of the minority, by asserting the important privilege of moving an adjournment on oc casions like the present. They hail been urged into the adoption of this course most reluctantly—(A roar of laughter, and shouts of " Oh ! oh ! oh ! ')_but he hoped th e y would persevere in it. Sir C. WETEIERELL said, that what the minority had that night done to maintain their own consistency and independence was precisely what had been done by the Noble Lords and the Hon. Gentlemen opposite, when they were placed in similar circumstances. During the period to which his own recollection extended, the maximum of the number of times which motions of a djournment had been successively made by them, and carried to a division, was five or six; Some Hon. Members, however, remem bered a score of successive divisions having taken place on a motion of adjournment. When he and his friends had got up to this opposition standard—when they had divided a score of times—(A laugh)—it would then be time enough for then to consider how to proceed. But until they hail completed the full number of twenty, let not Ministers think that this motion, which originated in the refusal to give a patient hearing to the Hon. Member for Dundalk—(Loud shouts of " No, no !")—would be aban doned. The Noble Lord and his triumphant majority should have frequent opportunities of quitting the House, lik e a comet with its tail, and of returning to a renewal of the same exercise.—(A laugh.) Mr. HUME begged to say one word. It was a pro verbial expression that there were men who lived long and learned little. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman seemed entir e ly ignorant of the relative situation of those who at present, and of those who formerly sat on the Opposition Benches. The minority in which lie (Mr. Hume) bail often, voted, was backed by public opinion against an un. popular Ministry. The case was very different at pre sent ; for now there was a popular Ministry, and a set of factious persons in opposition.—qlear, hear, hear.) Lord STORMONT declared, that while one Member remained in that House who would rise and second hint, so long would he persevere in moving an adjourtuneut.— (Cries of Oh, oh.) Mr. C. WOOD said, that the difference between the motives of the two sides of the House was perfectly clear and intelligible. The one had a distinct and evident object to gain ; hut what object had the other ? Mr. PERCEV AL disclaimed being actuated by any feeling of personal pride, or by any wish fur p art y trium p h.. But as it must be clear to the Noble Lord that he could not make the opposition to his motion give way, at least yet a while, lie put it to him whether he ought not to take into consideration the labour which one individual (pointing to the Speaker) had undergone ; and whether he ought not to concede the point were it for that Right Hon. Gentleman's sake alone. Colonel SIBTHORPE—If Lord Stormont is tired, I shall ipersist in moving the amendment. Mr. KENNEDY—The country will know how to ap preciate a proceeding so characteristic of gentlemen on the other side rf lie House. Mr. ROBINSON—! am sorry that the Hon. Member for Tiverton did not five hours ago put the observation whiCh he has just made regarding the Speaker to the gen tlemen of his own party. I think that we have now got to that point that if Government gives way now, it will never be able to carry the Reform Bill.—(lmmense cheer ing.. Cries of "We will.") It was asserting a monstrous doctrine to say that a small minority was to outweigh a majority which was increasing on every division. (Hear.) Lord KENNEDY denied factious motives. Mr. FANE wished for some compromise. A MEMBER called for Captain Gordon to proceed. Captain GORDON declined to proceed. The House divided-- For the motion 87 Against it Majority -162 On our return Captain GORDON was on his legs, and again declined to proceed upon the question. An Hors. MEMBER moved the adjournment until to morrow, as an a mendment. Mr. PRAED seconded it. Lord BRUDENELL disclaimed factious motives. Mr. PRAED indignantly repelled the charge of faction which had been urged against him. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL regretted that six divi sions should have taken place on what was called a trifle by one of the Hon. Members who had proposed a division. Sir C. WETHERELL said, that never did a question arise i n a more genuine manner than that the Speaker should leave the Chair. He stated that if Ailinisters would give him a ce.se in which a minority had ever conceded to a majority on such an occasion, he would yield. The mo tion was brought forward to rescue the independency of the Members of this House, which otherwise would have been forfeited, for the strongest course was taken to pre vent certain Members from being heard. Touching the appeal to the public, he said they would, he was well as sured, wish to see a contest fairly and spiritedly conducted, and that they woul d d esire to have a minority heard as patiently as the most patriotic majority that had ever harked in with an Administration. Mr. R. GRANT, in return to the question respecting the minority yielding, asked if a majority of the House bad ever yet yielded on what was confessed to lie a trifle? Mr. SHEIL thought, that as Captain Gordon had re ceded, Sir C. Wetherell ought also to recede. Sir J. BRYDGES suggested that the parties ought to draw lots. If they did nor, he would support the amend ment. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL observed that things were come toe pretty pass, when the Hon. Baronet said he would support the amendment because the opposing parties would not toss up. The House divided-- For the adjournmen t Against iL ................ ........................ 187 Majority .--163 "Sir C. WETHERELL was on his legs. He again de clared he only wished to assert the freedom of debate, and asked what proposition the opposite side would make to accelerate public business? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if it was sufficient on the part of the Ministers to assure the lion. and Learned Member that the measure should not go on at the present moment, if the Speaker were suf. fered to leave the Chair, he would give these assurances, and Would pl. dge himself that the only step that should be taken would be merely that the Chairman do take the chair pro forma to report progress, end then ask leave to sit again. He was too anxious that every Hon. Member should have an opportunity to deliver his sentiments on the Bill, and by this arrangement such opportuuity would be afforded him. The SPEAKER—The question before the House is that Ido now leave the chair. As many as are of that opinion say aye.—(A loud burst of ayes.) The contrary no—one or two noes. I think the ayes have it. The Right Hon. Member then vacated the chair amidst a volley of cheers, which continued for several minutes. The Chairman of the Committee of the whole House then took the chair, and the Bill was introduced pro forma, after which he begged leave to report progress, and to sit again. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Seven this morning. On Friday morning last, as a labouring man was proceeding to his work across Peckham-fields, his at tention was arrested by bearing the moans of an infant some distance from the footpath which he was crossing et the time. He immediately repaired to the spot, and under a hedge discovered a female child nearly perished with cold, and crying most piteously ; it appeared to be about three weeks old, and had scarcely any covering on it. From the dampness of the few rags that partly covered his little limbs, there is no doubt that it had been in the situation where it was found the whole of the night, and must have ceased to exist in a short time had not its moans attracted attention towards it. The labourer immediately took the infant in hie arms to Camberwell work-house, where it has since remained, the parish-officers being unable as yet to discover any trace of the inhuman parents. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION. From a Parliamentary Paper (No. 69) just published by order of the House of Commons, containing an account of the assessed taxes for the last three years, ending April 5, 1831, pail by !Awes sending Members to Parliament, we have the f dlowing conclusive and almost startling facts, grounded on the high authority of Parliament. The first column contains the names of the boroughs, the other the amount of assessed taxes paid in the year ending April 5, 1831 : SCHEDULE A. PLACES. A ,IOI7NT.

Thus, if the latter city were propor tionably represented in numbers relative to its property, when compared with the average of these boroughs, it ought to have not less than three thousand representatives.

In the House of Lords, last night, on the occasion of the third reading of Lord Melbourne's Bill, to extend to Ireland the benefit of L o rds. Lieutenant for counties, the Nlarquis of Londonderry, it will be seen, availed himself of the opportunity to defend himself against attacks,which, he stated, had been heretofore made urn hint by various Lords, and afterwards to attack the provisions of the Bill, as giving pon era exceeding those of any previous enact ment ri g,rding 'lreland. Lord Farnham, however, de fended the Bill—after Lc-rd Plunkett had vindicated the onduct of the Government respecting this measure. Mr. Wilk., in the Commons, after having presented some pc itions, gave notice that in the course of the Committee n tl:e English Reform Bill he would move the intrnduc ion of a el:Jose providing that no Parliament should con inue longer than three years—a notice that was greeted with Mr. Mines " cheer" only. Lord Ingestrie, in pre- •enting a petition from the Clergy of Ossory, &e. respect ing the tithe system in Ireland, asked whether the Govern ment intended to propose any measure on that subject ? Mr. Stanley, Secretary for Ireland, admitted that the time was fast approaching when this subject must force itself on the consideration of Parliament; but, as to the question, he replied that it would be to mislead the country to state that any measure bad been prepared, or was at present contemplated, by the Government. He, however, viewed it as a most consolatory circumstance that the tithe re ceivers, as well as • the tithe payers, were directing their anxious attention to this important matter. A long and desultory conversation resulted from these remarks, in the course of which Mr. Grattan expressed the opinion, that, if the tithes and rents could not be collected without the aid of an armed force, it was time that the legislature in terfered. Captain Gordon having adverted to some general resistance of tithe payments, Mr. O'Connell denied that there was any such general resistance. He acknowledged that there had been resistance, and that the spirit, or example of resistance was spreading ; and lie submitted that, as such vas the fact, it behoved the Government to attempt a remedy for such an evil. He ad•le:l, that the people were not unwilling to contribute to just remuneration for services performed ; but that, while there waq such a rich Bishopric as that of Derry, for instance, with an income of 2?:,000/. a-year, I;esides other advantages, which increased the income— while the granariis of the country were bursting with their stores, and while people in the midst of all this plenty were starving, was it to be expected that such a state of things could last? Boring declared that some remedy ought to be attempted, he asked what had caused the Newtown harry affair, and whether clergymen bad not attempted to caect three half years' tithes in one year? Mr. D. W. Harvey maintained that all these facts showed the necessity of Parliamentary interference—that the incomes mentioned were six times more than any Christian Bishops ought to receive—and that the enormous in ' comes were calculated greatly to injure the sublime yet penurious system of Christianity. A Member having observed that the Newtownbarry affair was caused by the mob having fired o❑ the yeomanry, Mr. O'Connell denied that there was any evidence of that fact; while, on the other hand, it was in proof that no officer had ever given o rders to the yeomanry to fire—showing, he contended, that in their estimation there was no occasion to fire on the people. Mr. S. Rice observed, in reply to the euln giums on the Tithe Composition Act, that it had not effected the good that it would otherwise have accom plished, in consequence of it having been reluctantly con ceded, after having been scoffed ut—a charge which was warmly rebutted by Mr. Goulburu. The extended con- versation then closed. Lord Althorp afterwards renewed in a Committee on his Majesty's Message, the proposition that there be a provision of 100,0001. per annum, with the residence in Busby park, for the Queen, in the event o f the King's demise ; which resolution was adopted. Lord John Russell then moved the order of the day, that the Speaker do leave the Chair, for the purpose of enabling the House to go into a Committee on the Bill. Lord Maitland thereupon moved that he might present a petition praying that Counsel be heard at the bar against the disfranchisement of Appleby. This led to considerable discussion. Lord J. Russell urged that the progress of the Bill ought not to be impeded by this proposition, the Bill not being one of pains and penalties. The question was one of fict—the amount of the population of Appleby, and to ascertain that fact it was not necessary to will in Counsel. Sir R. Peel defended the petitioners on the ground that they wished to show that the principle of the Bill did not apply to them. The House eventually di vided—the numbers were, for the motion, 187—against it, 284—presenting a majority of 97 against its reception. On the question that the Speaker do leave the chair various Members addressed the House, speaking to the general ques- - . tion attd occupying tie time till one o'clock.' Col. Conolly, Fane, Mr. C. Pelham, and Mr. Attwood were amongst the Members who condemned the Bill us vio►ent, revolu- tiunaty, sweeping, delusive, incongruous, incomprehen sible, &c., and " repugnant to the first principles of justice, to the known maxims of the Constitution, and to every thing that favoured the security of property ;" also as a " flagrant insult to the understanding of the British na• tion," Ste. It will be observed that none of the friends of the measure rose to answer• those several remarks so that they did not interrupt the question that the Speaker do leave. the Chair. Midnight having pissed, Captain ' Gordon moved an adjournment of the debate ; but that proposition was resisted by Lord Althorp, who said, after the general discussion that bad taken place, he must press the commitment of the Bill. He did so press opposi tion ; and the result of the extraordinary proceedings was that, upon a division, there appeared for the adjourn ment 102, against it 328, giving the Ministers a majority of 226. A further discussion ensued, and upon the mo tion " that the Speaker do leave the chair," the House divided ;—for the motion 286, against it 90, the Ministers gaining a majority of 196. Another discussion took place on the motion that the debate be adjourned till Thursday, when the Ministers, upon a division, had a majority of 172, there appearing for the adjournment 63, against it 235. Lord Stormont then moved that the debate be ad. journed till five o'clock this day ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer hoped the Noble Lord would allow the Speaker to leave the chair, but, a division being pressed, there ap. peared for the adjournment 44, against it 214, again leav ing the Ministers 170 majority. Division on division suc ceeded, but on the seventh and last, the Ministers tri umphed, with a majority of 163, and the House adjourned at balf.past seven this morning.—Morning Herald. EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.—A scene which baffles description took place last night in the House of Commons. The Opposition are determined to succeed in embarrassing the Ministers coute qui coute. The old strategics practised before the prorogation of the last Par liament were resorted to. After an idle waste of time, an adjournment of the debate was moved at twelve o'clock. Sir Robert Peel, and the more discreet part of the Opposition, in disapproved of this course, and said there was time enough remaining for discussion. This was not, however, what the factious Opposition wished. They kept dividing every five minutes in - order to compel an adjournment, protesting all the while an r.ithor renee of faction. At half-past seven o'clock this morning, after a night and morning spent in this indecent manner, Lord Althorp consented to have the Bill committed pro forma, that it might be re=committed to-morrow (this day), when matters will be just where they were at the beginning of last night. It is in this way that these men think that they shall be able to defraud the people of this country of their ju , :t rights. We rejoice that they. have shown the cloven foot. They are unmasked sufficiently. The object, we repeat, is to prevent the Bill passing at all. The observations which are subjoined express our senti. meats, written at an earlier hour. Shameful proceedings ! Never was so audacious an insult offered to a great nation. _Morning Chronicle. Hitherto all has been plain sailing with the Reform Bill. Last night, however, the opposition to the Bill commenced i n good earnest. The public have been taught to expect that the discussion on the principle of the Bill was by no imans the most formidable of the dangers it would have to e ncounter. Last night, however, will serve to enlighten them with respect to the peculiar nature of the -warfare which is to be waged against the Bill. On moving the Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee on the Bill, up starts Lord Maitland, to move an amend ment, that the petitioners of the borough of Appleby be heard at the bar by Counsel, for the purpose of showing that it was unjust to include that borough in Schedule A, the Population being 2,616, consequently above 2,000, the limit of total disfranchisement. In 1811 he said the borough of Appleby was made to include the parish of St. Michael 1,109, and St. Lawrence 1,060, together 2,160; but in the census of 1821, followed by the Govern- Inent, the parish of St. Lawrence was totally omitted, and the population of Appleby stated to consist of 131 19 which was, in fact, only the population of St. Michael's. All that is really required for the guidance of Parli amen t is the fact,—what was the popu lation of Appleby, and the other places included in Sche dule A and B, in 1821 ; and this fact can best be ascer tained in a Committee. The principle of the Bill is the total and partial disfranchisement of certain boroughs on a oust of their population n 1821, and the B;11 havin g h•en.read a second ti;ne, v hat remains is to ascertain whether the boroughs had or had not the populaton which justifies their insertion in Schedule A or Schedule B. Counsel can be of no earthly use to guide the House as-to that simple fact. A man who is obliged to attend a meeting on a certain hour of a certain day, may as well employ Counsel to obtain information when the clock strikes which is to regulate his movements. But then, if Counsel are to be first heard in the case °rivet) , borough, the Fill cannot pass, and it would be a masterly stroke of poliCy to reduce Parliament to an impossibility if pro ceeding, through an absurd application of its own ferns. " If," said Mr. D. W. II urvey, " they allowed Counsel to be heard for Appleby, they must allow it for every other borough; then there would he 150 boroughs, etch to be heard by Counsel ; and suppose the Counsel were to be contented each with one day, there would b • 150 days before the House could go into a Commit tee."—(Hear, and a laugh.) Let us hear the Leader cf the Opposition on this point. " The p tition (sail Sir Robert Peel) recognized the principle of the Reform Bill; but it urged, that admitting that the principle was correct, they could show that it did not aim!) , to them.—(Cheers.) And would any majority of that House, however powerful it might be, refuse these p aties an opportunity of showing this ?—(Cheers.) Su h a thing could not be proved without details ; it mu•t be made out by evidence; and the alleg assns of Members interesteA in the fact could not he received in such a case. He, therefore, concluded, that if the House of Commons refused the petitioners this op portunity, it would be establishing a precedent most din gerous.''—(Cheers.) So, in order not to establish a dan gerous precedent, Parliament must stultify itself by pro ceeding according to a coure which admits of no termi nation ! The information respecting the state of the po pulation of each of these boroughs, must, forsooth, be ob tained only through the prosy statements of Counsel, feed to speak against time in each particular case ! Among :he 658 Members of the House of Commons. no one can be trusted with the conveyance of the particulars respect ine the population and the evidence for them. " But, then (says Mr. Charles Wynne, the oracle in all ques tions of form), admitting the principles of disfraichisement, as laid down by the Government, was it not better to allow each borough which chose the opportunity of disproving that it came within that principle ?—(Cheers.) Would the majority stop all inquiries ? Would they say at once that they were prepared to give their votes to the propositions of the King's Ministers.— What would be said if a Jury were to act so ?—(Cheers.) Here there were forty-seven boroughs arraigned before them, and there was a call for a verdict without the Jury being allowed to hear the evidence, though they knew not how the evidence ap plied—though it was offered to be shown of some of these bo roughs that they were not guilty. No ; they were told that they must give a general verdict, and must not examine the evidence of each particular case.—(Cheers.) They were to disfranchise forty-seven boroughs—they were to pass sentence, taking no time for consideration, not allowing them to be heard in their own defence, and not even asking them why sentence of death should not be passed on them --Cheers.) Once grant the principle contended for by his Hon. 1- rend the Attorney-General, and let the House see the great injustice to which it would lead." Now all this proceeds on the confounding legislative with judicial functions. The House are not trying parti cular boroughs for delinquency, but withdrawing a trust from a certain portion of the population, to bestow it in a manner more in accordance with the principles of the Constitution. In order not to proceed arbitrarily in with drawing the trust, Patliament laid down a principle, that all boroughs under a certain population should be placed in Schedule A, and another amount of population in Sche dule 13; but it could not be supposed to contemplate the receiving information as to these facts only in such a man ner as should place it on an impossibility of arriving at any conclusion. If Parliament were a trihunal trying a particular Corporation, it might tie itself down to a judi cial mode of proceeding; but what Parliament requires is information sufficient to enlighten itself.-' If in legislat ing, Parliament were to receive the information on which it decides solely through the Counsel, and the production of witnesses at the bar, such a question, for instance, as that of the new duty on wines, could not be determined without the aid of Counsel, and the production of wit nesses to prove all the points respecting the Treaty of Methuen, the existing rates of d ir ty on Portuguese and other wines, and all other matters which came under dis cussion on Monday night. On that occasion the House agreed to a certain resolution, relying on the statement of Ministers and other Members, and in all other public matters the statements of Members form the grounds on which alone Parliament decide, other information, when necessary, being of course called for. The a•nount of population in the case of the boroughs was fixed, not for the sake of the particular boroughs, which have no right to what they merely discharge as a trust, but for the sake of Parliament itself, which must be supposed to adopt the mode of enlightening its own conscience mast consonant with common sense. But really we are now bestowing more attention on this piece of chicanery than it deserves. But on this the opponents of Reform place all their hopes. As if, forsooth, forms which are laid down for general convenience were to he adhered to at the expence of what is essential ! As if representa tives, deputed by the people expressly to carry a certain measure, were to stand still, and allow the enemies of that measure to tie them down to certain forms by which that I measure could never be carried! Parliament never heal tates to depart from every form when the observance of it would produce more evil than good. Bills are hurried through all their stages in one day. Individuals are for a time deprived of their liberties without trial, by the suspen sion of laws, for the sake of the general convenience. But in this particular case Parliament are departing from no form ; but rejecting the application of a form, which is in every respect unsuitable to it. The amendment was very properly rejected. On a division the numbers were 284 to 187, leaving a majority of 97, The minority, of course, included all the false friends of Reform, who agreed to the second reading, in the hope of being able to cripple the measure in some subsequent stage. It included, of course, Mr. C. Wynne. It included also, we are sorry to say, one of the Members of the city of London, Mr. Alderman Thompson, who knew a great deal about Appleby, he said (we should say a great deal too much), and who affected not to be able to distinguish between the establishment of a fact in a manner satisfactory to the House, and the esta blishment of a fact by a process which, if adopted in every case, would render it impossible ever to get through the Bill. Let these real enemies, though pretended friends of the Bill, be marked by the public with their strongest dis approbation. We trust the race of Alderman Ttiompsons will yet be taught a wholesome lesson by the public. After the failure of the attempt of Lord Maitland, the motion for going into a Committee was laid hold of fur a discus sion of the principle of the Bill. Mr. Conolly repeated all the common places about spoliation; Mr. Attwood entered on the old affair of the Bourbons, the Revolution of July, the Sovereignty of the People, the rumoured cre ation of Peers ; and then, when it seemed meet, Captain Gordon moved an adjournment of the debate. Lord Althnrp appealed to the Right Honourable Gentleman (Sir Robert Peel) whether he haul not agreed, that one full discussion on the principle of the Bill would be suf ficient? Sir Robert was ashamed of the crew with which he is compelled to act ; and remarked, that Members were indeed at liberty to speak at large on the principle; but, as it was only twelve o'clock, . the debate might be con tinued yet for some time, and "lie for one would be no party to any thing like vexatious delay.", However Captain Gor don persisted in his motion of adjournment of the debate, and the House divided, giving a majority to Ministers of 328 to 102, or 226. It is clear that there is a desperate spirit in the Opposition determined to push matters to the last extremity. Against this spirit Ministers must act with cool but determined resolution. They have the country with them. The clamour of the Opposition finds no echo out of doors. The Ministers have a strong ma jority within, and the whole nation without, on their side, and they may fearlessly shape their resolves accordingly. The Opposition had lull scope last night. By dint of talking on all subjects, and dividing from time to time, they succeeded in killing the hours, till at last it could no longer be said that there was time for continuing the de bate. —Morning Chronicle. After a trifling and insignificant discussion last night, on a propt r provision for the Queen—an 100,0001. per annum was proposed—a most factious opposition was got up by the Peel and Dawson party, on the question, whe ther the case of the borough of Appleby ought or ought not to be heard by the Counsel at the bar of the House.— To the hearing of any case in such manner, in favour of which strong evidence might be adduced, his Majesty's Ministers could of course have no reasonable objection; but in that of the borough of Appleby, it was evident to every one that the Opposition only sought to establish a Principle by means of wkish they might render it neces sary, on the part of the House, to hear Counsel in every case of disfranchisement, and thus, by uselessly consuming its time, to impede the progress of a Bill whose import ance exceeds that of all others ever introduced into the House of Commons. His Majesty's Ministers, in conse quence, opposed the hearing of Counsel, and, notwith standing the pert remarks of Sir R. Peel, and the more able corporeal movements of Sir C. Wetherell, the House approved of the course pursued by his Majesty's Minis ters, and testified its approbation by a majority of no fewer th an 97 in their favour. On the division the numbers were, For Ministers Against them Majority From this petty skirmish it is quite evident that the Anti-Reformers are determined to fight out the battle of corruption or no corruption, tooth aad nail, and that they w:11 B:!ize every opportunity not only of opposing every (dame of the Bill, but of retarding its progress. The ma• ioriti of I,st night ought to teleh them, if, like a clas., ,vbieh shall be nameless, they are capable of being taught, I)atSstiell opposition is fruitl ess , an d t h at if t b e y p ers i st n it, i t m ay not be wholly u naecompan i e d w i t h danger. After ti-e case of Appleby had been disposed of, successiv2 unendments were moved (for the words of which we re- er to our Parliamentary report) for the purpose of pre • verving the House from going into a Commilee on the Reform Bill, hut the same result ensued—th e Ministers riumpl.ed in every instance, and left ti their opponents the fame 4.f a factious opposition only. Such be the fate ~f every petty and underhand trick to defeat a Bill, or delay its progress, which the King and people of England may he said to have already passed !—Morn. Advertiser ; The abore was written at an hour in the morning when it could scarcely have been expected that the House would have continued to sit during another five minutes; but up to this moment, seven o'clock, although division has followed division, and on every division the Anti-Re. formers bare been dead beaten in point of numbers, there is no relax ition of their fictions opposition—no symptom th it they have any regard either to the dignity of the Par- liament, or to the peace and prosperity of the country. Their aim and object seem to be to Weary out the repre sentatives of the people, by the most disgusting opposition that was ever witnessed in an English !louse of Commons ; and, thatl God, they have now carried it so far, that, instead of injuring, it cannot but benefit the cause o f R e _ form. Their narrow spirit—their hatred of the people— are now thoroughly known ; and it will not be the fault of the Press if the names of all those who took part in this degrading struggle he not made thoroug,hly known to the public. Instead of endeavouring to avert the revolution, which they pretend to dread, they are, by their conduct, scattering far and wide those seeds of dissatisfaction which, if they persist in such foolish conduct, eann , t fail speedily to ripen into it—they are endiavouring to goad the people into a madness, of which themselves would be the first v i e t m s . —Morning Adrertieer. In speaking of the possibility of the Reform Bill king thrown out by the Ilotm of Peers, we have alluded more than once to the equal possibility of its becoming a ques tion with the public whether the House of Peers has any right to append to it the seal of its approbation or disap- Probition, and . we have given it as our op;nion, that what ever right it might have in law, by sufferance, or prescrip tion, it has none on a common-sense view of the subject. The point at issue being a Reform in the representation of the people—the two Houses of Parliament being tilde pendent of one another—and the law of the land deelarimr, besides, that it is a misdemeanour in any Peer to influence, directly or indirectly, the election of a Member of Par- liament—the conclusion seems inevitable, that the Peers can have nothing to do either with the pawing or the re jection of any Bill, which the House of Commons may choose to pass for its own purification, and the better re presentation of the wishes and interests of the people. But whatever may be the common•sense view of the sub ject, a correspondent, with whose favours we have been frequently obliged, and whose letter will be found in another column, has mooted the legal right of the Peers on the subject, and made out, we think, rather a strong case against them. We have no desire, however, to provoke discussion upon the point, cud for the plain reason, that while we should consider as an evil to the couutry the carrying of the Bill in spite of the Peers, we are confidently of opinion that there will be no necessity for the adoption of such severe practice, and that the Bill will pass the Upper, as it will assuredly pass the Lower House of Parliament, though unquestionably with a smaller majority. We refer our readers at once, there fore, to cur correspondent's letter, reserving to ouiselvi s simply the privilege of remarking, that with regard to the conduct of Mr. Hunt, whose name i• mentioned in the latter part of it, there is no portion of it respecting the Reform Bill o f which the friends of Reform ran ap prove. Its "mysterious" character, and, we might add, its inconsistency with that exhibited by him on the first introduction of the Reform Bill, is no recommendation to u', and ought to be none either to his constituents or to the people of England,—Morning Advertiser. In the House of Commons last night, on the motion for going into Committee on the Reform Bill, Lord Mait land moved that the borough of Appleby should be heard by Counsel at the Bar, and the course taken by Ministers on this occasion sufficiently exemplifies their sense c f justice and the impartiality of their proceedings. The case of this borough is strictly this. In 1811 the popu lation returns-for that town included, as they ought, two parishes, namely, Appleby St. Lawrence, and St. Michael's, alias Bougate. In the latter are situated the town-hall and the gaol, and nearly one-half of the bur gage tenements, which now confer the right of voting for that place ; and the population of the two together even then exceeded 2,000. In 1821, by some inadvertence, not Ministerial, Appleby is stated as consisting only of the former parish, in which theme are not above 1,300 inhabitants. The Cabinet, consistent in their search after error, eagerly availed themselves of this excuse, and inserted Appleby in schedule A. Re monstrances were vainly urged against this Act, unjust even according to their own principles, but they declined to proceed as with Buckingham, Truro, and other places, and to assign to Appleby its proper situation. Lord Maitland, therefore, was compelled to bring the question before Parliament, and moved that his consti tuents should be heard by Counsel in order to substantiate their case. To this Lord John Russell objecteJ, for no reason at all—the Attorney-General, because he approved of arbitrary measures, and thought an appeal to numbers much easier than anappeal to reason—Mr. Wood, because Wareham, which he represents, is nearly in the same si tuation as Appleby; and as he intends to urge its omis. sion from schedule B altogether (he must succeed, as he is son-in-law to Lord Grey), he thought the House could only expect the Government to make one concession to reason and justice, and therefore he preferred Wareham to Ap• pleby. As for Lord Althorp, we really cannot pretend to understand his speech or to explain his reasons. We suppose they were conclusive to bins ; we doubt whether any one of his 284 friends who voted with him could pos. sibly comprehend them. The replies of Sir R. Peel, rife. Wynn, Sir Charles Wetherell, and Mr. Croker, were indeed most complete ; and our readers may judge of their effect when they see the great diminution, no less than thirty-nine, which took place in the majority of Government. This is indeed but an earnest of what w 1 1 follow ; and we are certain that the far-famed 136 will shortly dwindle down into a much more humble number. The course of the Government last night merits particular observation. They admitted that Appleby had made out a case precisely similar to that of Buckingham, where they did rectify an error; but their third edition of the Bill is, they say, perfect, and they will alter no more. They admitted that this is a most sweeping measure of confiscation, but they denied that it is a Bill of Pains and Penalties • they admitted that all their informa tion is grossly incorrect, but they declined seeking for more, lest some light should be thrown upon their proceedings, and some justice should, even acci dentally, emanate from their wilfully erring conduct. As to rights of individuals, they ought never, they say, for an instant to be considered ; and none can be held to be vested rights save their own claims to the petty emolu ments of office, and to the eternal possession of the Treasury Beach. This language and this conduct may for a while succeed, but if experience could have any effect . upon Whigs, they might have learnt from the history of past ages that deceit, falsehood, and treachery soon meet with their recompense, not only morally, in the execration of mankind, but temporally, in what Whigs value infi nitely more, diminution of power and pecuniary loss. With these remarks we will conclude our observations on this division, only repeating our firm conviction that it is but the prelude to many and more successful combats.— Morning Post. The extraordinary scene that was acted in the House of Commons from two o'clock till seven this morning ! demands from us even at this hour a few explanatory observations. After the question respecting Appleby had been disposed of by the sheer numerical strength of the Ministry, and one or two Members had spoken to the motion for going into Committee, as unequivocal and fixed determination was evinced by the Ministers4nd their adherents to prevent all further discussion by dint of noise and clamorous inter ruation. Under these circumstances, the opposition pro prsed the obvious alternative, either that the debate should be allowed to proceed regularly, or that it should be ad journed to the nc:si sitting. To neither of the proposi tions would the Ministry, relying on their numbers, accede ; and the minority were thus driven to the only re source which remains to a reasonable minority against a tyrannical majority. No less than seven adjournments were moved in succession, and, lretween each, discussions arose in which the injustice and violent conduct of the majority and the reason that supported the minority were clearly demonstrated. The minority, small as it was, it was quite evident could not yield ; hut at seven o'clock a species of compromise was agreed to, by which the Speaker then left the Chair pro forma, on the understanding that
