Lord HARDWICKE presented a petition from Wis beach, praying that that town may have representatives ; also from the same place against the Registry of Deeds Bill. Lord KENYON presented a petition from Wrexham in favour of Reform. He could not accede to the petition, for he thought there never was a more mischievous mea sure introduced into Parliament than the one proposed by his Majesty's Ministers. The Earl of ILCHESTER presented petitions from Blandlord, and other places, in favour of Reform. Lord DACRE presented similar petitions from Hert . ford, Ware, and Ely. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from Manchester, complaining of the unseasonable hours at which chil dren were compelled to work in cotton factories ; also from Preston to the same effect. Eirl GREY presented petitions from Blackburn, Kid derminster, Bread street Ward, the proprietors and occu piers of iron and coal works in Staffordshire, St. Mary le-Strand, and other places,. in favour of Reform. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from St. Georges's, Southwark, in favour of Reform. Mr. S. RICE and others, from the Commons, brought up the Sugar Duties Bill, the Colonial Trade Bill, and four private Bills. Lord FARNHAM presented petitions from the She riff, and Commons of the Corporation of Dublin, and front the Master, Wardens, and Brethren of the Guild of Merchants of the same place, against the Reform Bill. Lord RODEN supported the petition. He was not op posed to all Reform, for he thought a change must be made in the House of Commons. He was, however, op posed to revolutionary measures, which he certainly con sidered were those of the present Bill. With respect to Ireland, he believed the Bill, as it now stood, would annihilate the Union. He considered the Bill full of theories and rocks, on which the Constitution would be split. It was his opinion that the inconsistencies of public mess had led to all the disturbances in the country. Earl GREY, although he had always thought and said that it was a most inconvenient course to be discussing this measure incidentally on the presenting of petitions, yet he could not sit silent and hear it said that the measure of Relorm proposed by his Majesty's Ministers was a re. volutionary measure, and one which would end in the de struction of the Constitution. He did not mean at present to enter upon the discussion of the subject at length, but he could not hear that assertion—for assertion it was, and not argument—without meeting it with a contrary and most confident assertion, that the me sure in question had no such tendency. He asserted that its tendency was di rectly the reverse of that which had been ascribed to it by the Noble Earl, and it was on that account that it had been introduced, and it was for that reason that he would support it to the utmost of his power. The Noble Earl said that the petitioners had made out their ease; that this measure had a tendency to lead to a repeal of the Union. But they had only made it out in the same manner as the Noble Earl bad made out his case ; and that was by con fident assertion, but by no argument. When the measure should be assailed by argument, he should feel no difficulty in defending it, and showing that it was liable to none of those impuations that had been cast upon it. As to the assertion that it would have a tendency to produce a dissolution of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland, he felt so powerfully the necessity, for the sake of both countries, to maintain that Union, that if the mea sure in question had that tendency, he should think that circumstance a strong objection to it. But, on the con trary, as the Bill was calculated not to promote, but to prevent revolution here, and to allay, if not to extinguish the discontents, and to calm the irritation which threatened to produce revolution in Ireland—its tendency would be, not to lead to the repeal of the Union, but to allay those discontents and that irritation which occasioned the clamours for the repeal. Such, he was persuaded, would be the effect of the measure in Ireland as well as in England. With respect to the observation of the Noble Earl that it was the inconsistencies of public men that led to these measures ; from that imputaticn of inconsistency he was not called upon to defend himself. It was well known that he had retained the principles which he had always held with reference to another measure of Reform, when for these principles he had been driven from office twenty-six years ago, and yet those by whom those prin ciples had been most ardently combatted, had been com pelled at last to pass these very measures which he had then so strongly advocated, and to pass them under far less favourable circumstances than then existed, and with far less beneficial results than would have attended their adoption at that time. As to the question of Parliamentary Reform, which more immediately concerned the present subject, it was well known that he had, from his earliest years, supported it, and that at the commencement of his Parliamentary career he had introduced into the other House a measure on the subject. He had always retained the same opinions on that question ; although be bad failed in effecting his object. But if this measure were to fail in his hands now, and the present Government should be dissolved on that principle, the consequence would be that Reform would be afterwards forced upon men in office, and such a Reform, and under such circumstances, that there was great reason to fear that then the Reform would, indeed, be revolutionary. Perhaps he had said more than enough en a question raised in this incidental and irre gular manner. But he felt himself called upon by the observations made by the Noble Earl to maintain that the measure of Reform proposed by hie Majesty's Ministers, was a measure of constitutional Reform, in contradistinc tion to a revolutionary measure—a constitutional Reform which had given general satisfaction, and which would contribute equally to the strength of the Government and to the prosperity of the country.—(Hear.) The Earl of RODEN, in explanation, said that he bad given no occasion to the Noble Earl to suppose that when he spoke of the inconsistencies of public men, he had alluded to him. He certainly did not allude to whether his opinion of the measure was right or wrong—he meant no disrespect to the Noble Earl. When the time came for arguing the question, he would state his reasons for his opinion. The Earl of CAERNARVON hoped that the mea sure, if it came to this House at all, would at least be so altered that their Lordship would find that it was not re volutionary. But that, as it stood at present, it bore the impress of that character, was, he believed, the opinion LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 24, 1831 of one half of the people of property in this country. That there must be a Reform of some kind without delay, might he taken to be decided by the vote of last night. But it had always been his opinion that any measure of Reform ought to be entertained with great caution, and proceeded with slowly, so as to give the most ample time for consi deration and for discussion, arid that it ought not to be brought forward and carried on with that breathless haste with which his Majesty's Ministers had proceeded with their measure. They were scarcely settled in their seats when they came down with this scheme, which would, if passed into a law, have the effect of unsettling and changing all the institutions and constituency of the country, except in the Universities—institutions and a consti tuency which might he said to have existed from time immemorial in this kingdom. When he had, on a former occasion, called this a new Constitution, he had been derided ; but it was a new Constitution. They bad already seen many new Constitutions among other nations, but that a new Constitution should be proposed for this country, which would upset all its old institu tions, was not what was expected by the people of these realms, and it was natural for them to be alarmed. He was not connected with any borough, nor did lie know that he had influence enough to secure the return of one Member. He had no interest in the matter, except that which every man who loved his country, and wished to live'and die under its ancient institutions, ought to have. But he was adverse to all sweeping Reforms, for it was impossible to make any material alteration in any one par ticular, without more or less affecting the rest. He had been always ready to promote Reform where an abuse ex isted, but then he was for reforming gradually, and for correcting abuses when it became necessary, and when it was clear that a pressure existed. We had had the good fortune to preserve our institutions unimpaired when all around us tottered. He had seen no less than twenty-six Constitutions produced in the course of the French revo lution, as fast as they were formed in the prolific brains of the French philosophers. We ourselves had been great Constitution-mongers. We had prepared a Constitution for Corsica, and when the Lord Lieutenant that was to govern the Island had called his Parliament together, it had not sat half an hour when he was obliged to fly, and take refuge from it in a fortress, from which he was glad to escape, and get on board a British ship. A similar ex periment had been made in Sicily, and their Lordships knew with what success and with what results.— It was the attempting to reform all at once which produced these practical evils; and it was, there fore, that he, whether he was right or wrong, was disappointed with this measure. With cautious, slow, temperate Reform—with Reform bit by bit, as abuses ap peared and the occasion called for it, lie would have been pleased. His Noble Friend (Earl Grey) had said, that he had not to defend himself against any well-founded charge of inconsistency in supporting this measure ; but if his Noble Friend chose to take up the cause of some of his friends who now supported it, he would have much to de fend. Was the measure now proposed what was to be expected from the speech in which his Noble Friend had announced it, and was the speech a fitting prologue to the plan ? It was the greatest of all humbugs to say that Reform would be a panacea for all political evils. Ilis Noble Friend had said that there would be little difference between his Noble Friend and him, and that they only proposed to do the same in a different way ; and was his Noble Friend then aware of the desperate plunge which he was after wards to take ? But he hoped the Commons would modify or alter it, for, as it stood at present, it was the most dangerous that had ever been brought forward. He was favourable to Reform as the occasion called for it ; but lie slid not know that he could ever be persuaded to go to that extent. He would not go into the subject more at length at present.—(Hear, hear, from the LORD CHAN CELLOR.) He might, perhaps, fall under the lash of the wit of the Noble and Learned Lord who interrupted him in this irregular way ; but he insisted that, after the eulo gium which had been pronounced on his own measure, he ought nut to allow the matter to pass without observation. —(Earl GREY—Hear, hear.) He repeated, that since his Noble Friend had chosen to start the discussion, he ought to be answered. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not mean to enter upon the important detads of the question at the present moment; but it appeared to him, from what had falle❑ from the Noble Earl who ha•l just sat down, that he bad forgotten that the subject was brought before the House, not by the Noble Earl near him (Earl Grey), but by the Noble Earl opposite (the Earl of Roden) ; and his Noble Friend, in reply to the statement made by the Noble Earl opposite, had only acted in accordance with the rule laid down by the Noble Lord who bad just spoken—that both sides should be heard. With respect to one part of the charge made against Ministers by the Noble Lord op posite, of having introduced this measure with breathless haste, he was relieved from the necessity of saying any thing, because the votes of the other House would afford a sufficient answer. This measure was not new to the public, nor new to Parliament. It was announced at the very moment the present Administration was formed. :t was introduced into the other House of Parliament three weeks ago, and debated on that occasion for seven days, and after an interval of seven days, was again de bated two nights nn the second reading. The Noble Earl would also find by the votes, that it was not proposed to consider it in Committee until after the Easter holydays ; and yet this was described as pass ing the Bill in breathless haste, without affording to Parliament due opportunity of considering it with attention.—(Hear, hear.)—But he contended that this question had been under consideration over and over again, and the more it had been considered in Parliament or out of doors, the more he had cause to be convinced that the Bill proposed by Govern ment, or something amounting to it, was the only security against those disorders which the Noble Lord deprecated. —(Hear.)—But let him tell the Noble Lord and others out of doors, who had now at last come to a conviction that some change was necessary in the representation of the people, to state previous to the approaching recess what their schemes of Reform were, so that Parliament and the country might know what it was they proposed to give under the name of Reform, but without the substance. —(Hear, hear.)—Let then, the public judge between their pla❑ and the plan of the present Government, which was founded on the ancient principles of the Constitution of this country. He said the ancient principles of the Constitution, because he knew no other principlee but the representation of the people, founded on the property and knowledge of the country. In the course of ages, and by the mutation of time, considerable change would he made in the property and knowledge of the country, which it became necessary to meet. The proposed Bill was founded on a desire to connect with the representation of the people all those accumulations of knowledge in some quarters and of property in others, which, when left unrepresented, formed the lever on which ambition and treason worked against that Constitution which the Noble Lord was so anxious to preserve. The Noble Lord had abstained with the same caution which was observatde elsewhere, from explaining what his scheme of Reform was, but st►ll /Se had given some slight hints of what he would wish to see dune. He bad told the House that he was for moderate and progressive Reform. If the Noble Lord meant by progressive Reform, that he meant perpe tual changes and perpetual uncertainty, that was a state of things against which he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) pro tested. Their Lordships had all been witnesses of the at tempt to reform in the• case of Penryn ; they had seen the number of witnesses called on that occasion, and the amount of public money wasted : and yet, after all, the case of Penryn was thrown back upon the Noble Lord who had introduced it. It was against progressive Re • form that he entered his protest, and he should never have given his consent to the great measure of Constitu tional Reform, had he not known it to be one of a per manent nature. The Earl of CAERNARVON said, that he had not accused Ministers of hurrying the measure on after it had been introduced to Parliament, but on l y w i t h h av i ng pre cipitately introduced it in the first instance. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he would not have said a word on the present occasion if h e h a d not b een personally alluded to by his Noble Friend. He did not pretend to know the forms of the House, but he always understood that a Member might, in th e usua l Parlia mentary manner, express his dissent f rom w h at another Peer was s t a ting as readily as he might expre ss hi s assent to it. I n wh a t he uttered he had intended to intimate in the broadest possible manner his total dissent from his Noble Friend, when he imputed to him a desire to hear the arguments on one side, and not on the other, because it Was insinuated that he could not meet them. He could assure his Noble Friend that he never felt leas unable t) meet the observations of an antagonist in the whole course of his life than—he spoke it with all possible respect—he did to meet the extremely shallow, unsubstantial, incon sistent, and contradictory arguments of which his .Noble Friend had, contrary to the 19th standing order, which declared that no Peer should speak twice on the same question, addressed to the House. If lie felt any appre hension of meeting his Noble Friend as an antagonist, he was relieved from all difficulty by the triumphant answer which his observations had received in the judicious, as well as powerful and eloquent speech whirls had been de livered by the President of the Council. His Noble Friend, in order to make good his charge that the Go vernment had urged on the Measure of Reform with breath less impatience, had been obliged to alter facts, and to cut down time by a good deal more than one half. His Noble Friend said that Ministers had been its office hardly three weeks before they came down to Parliament with this measure. Why, it was more than three months. That period certainly was not a century, but it was double six weeks. Himself and his colleagues came into office on the 22d of November, and the Bill was introduced on the Ist of March, and it :was read a second time on the 22d of March. If his Noble Friend had, like his Majesty's Mi nisters, been in correspondence with individuals in various parts of the country, he was convinced he would have been the first man to adopt the very course which Ministers had pursued. If Ministers had delayed a little longer, he believed they would have boen reproached with tardiness by the very persons who now affected to condemn them for precipitancy. He was sorry to perceive that there was a disposition to carp at Ministers. They had not been ten (lays in office before his Noble Friend opened his battery upon them bit by bit—a sort of pop-gun firing.—(A laugh.) If Ministers had not brought forward the mea sure at the earliest opportunity, would they not have been taunted with having abandoned their professions? Would it not have been said that they came into office pledged to Reform, but had done nothing to redeem that pledge ? For his part, he would rather meet the present charge than that. His Noble Friend stated that he had a plan of Reform, but he had omitted to give any de scription of it. He (the Lord Chancellor) had acceded to the measure which had been proposed by Govern ment, wishing that less might have been done, but sa tisfied that less would not have satisfied the country. He would rather have to deal with the ope❑ enemies of Re form—those who'deelared all improvement to be unneces sary, than with those who pretended to have a plan of their own, but who had been all their lives hostile to Reform. He thought that Parliament might learn a lesson from the fate of the Catholic question. It would be wise to grant Reform now which would satisfy the people; for if the time were allowed to pass, there were many chances to one that a plan, not so safe and wholesome, would be forced upon Parliament hereafter. It was not unlikely, too, that that plan would be proposed by the very men who now objected to the present measure, but who would turn round when they saw the storm was raging around them, as they had done upon the Catholic question, anti take credit for doing what they had all their lives been de claring they never would do. Lord FARNHAM said a few words in explanation. The Duke of RICHMOND said that he had given his support to the measure proposed by Ministers, because he thought that the people were entitled to have the repre sentative system improved. He would like to know whether, in the Noble Earl's plan of Reform, the rotten boroughs, and Gatton amongst the number were to be retained ? The Noble Lord on the second bench (Lord Monson) was much interested in a reply to this question. Lord MONSON said, that after the pointed manner in which he had been alluded to, he felt it necessary to ob serve that if he were convinced that the retention of the close boroughs was detrimental to the true interests of the people, he would be the first man to propose their aboli tion. He, however, did not entertain such an opinion. He would state his reasons for opposing the Government measure on the proper occasion. —(Hear. ) The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. A message from the Commons brought up the Sugar Duties Bill, and the Colonial Trade Bill.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, lt744cH 23. The Srizaxica took the Chair at Three o'clock; there were only one or two strangers in the gallery, and the House was very thin of Members. A great number of private Bills were forwarded a stage. Sir W. GUISE presented petitions from eleven places in the county of Gloucester in favour of the measure of Reform. Thy Liverpool and Chester Railway Bill was read a se cond time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. LITTLETON preseuted petitions from several places in Staffordshire in favour of Reform, and a similar one from Burton-upon-Trent. Mr. EGERTON presented a petition from the county of Chester in favour of the plan of Reform. The Hon. Alember regretted that be could not conscientiously support the Bill. He must, however, say that many of its provi sions had his support. An Hort. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, said he gave the Bill his most hearty support, and if Mi nisters consented to any alteration they should have his opposition. Mr. EGERTON then presented petitions from Stock port and Macclesfield in favour of the plan of Reform. Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM presented a great number of petitions from various places in favour of Reform. Mr. PORTMAN presented a petition from the county of Dorset in favour of Reform. The Hon. Member said the petition was most numerously signed, and every indi vidual who signed it was a person of property. Mr. PORTMAN presented petitions from Lyme Regis, Sherborne, and from four other places in the county of Dorset, praying for Reform, and one from the town of Blandford, against the Reform Bill. The HON. 31E14/13Elt then presented a petition from Dor setshire, in favour of Reform. Great care, the Hon. Member said, had been taken that none but the mmt re spectable signatures should be subscribed to this petition, and that it spoke the strong and unanimous opinions:of the county was to be inferred, because an opposite petition bad been got up at the same place, and had received only 34 signatures. In supporting the Reform Rill, he was convinced that he was acting in con f orm it y w ith t h e w i s h es of a very great majority of his constituents. Mr. H. BANKES very much doubted if the Hon. Member were correct in his last observation. One petition against Reform had been presented from a body of his con stituents, arid if more numerous petitions of the same na ture were not sent into that House, it was merely because persons did not usually petition for what they already pos sesed. Mr. CALCRAFT was friendly to the principle of Re form, but he would struggle in the Committee against many of the details of the pending measure. Dorset was a passive county, and did not much like to interfere in politics, and its petitioners were therefore not strong or numerous. Mr. G. DAWSON said that probably the Hon. Mem ber for Wareham felt himself peculiarly :entitled to repre sent a passive county. He could not concede to the Hon. Member the claims he put forth to excessive purity upon this occasion. Mr. PORTMAN believed that the country would be in a state of great danger unless they could support the Crown and aristocracy by uniting the people in sympathy with that House, and which was to be done only by a thorough Reform. Mr. H. BANKES explained. The Hon. Member for Preston had declared that he had given his vote for Reform only upon the ground of his having succeeded in making his bargain with Ministers in favour of the electors of that borough. Probably the Hon. Member for Wareham had similar success in relation to his borough. . . Mr. CALCRAFT wished the Hon. Member for Preston pleasure at his success, and he regretted that he had no chance of being equally serviceable to his constituents at Wareham. It would have been inconsistent with all his former conduct had he not supported the Reform Bill. His first vote in that House had been for the abolition of the slave trade, his second for the repeal of the Test and Cor poration Acts, his third in favour of Parliamentary Reform, and the fourth in favour of Catholic Emancipation. These had been under Mr. Fox ; all the measures had been even tually carried, except Reform, and if that were longer de layed, he believed that the country would have most se riously to lament its postponement. Mr. HUNT said there had been no bargain between him and Ministers. When the Reform Bill was brought forward the Noble Lord (John Russell) stated that there would be no interference with the life-interests of voters. This was sufficient to protect his (Mr. Hunt's) consti tuent.:, as he found, on inquiry, a doubt having been thrown on the subject. Colonel DAVIES presented a petition from Worcester 'a favour of Reform. Mr. BALFOUR presented three petitions from places in Scotland, against parts of the Reform Bill. Mr. W. FATTEN presented a petition from. Eccles in favour of Reform. Sir R. HILL presented petitions from Wellington, Whit church, and several other places, against negro slavery. Lord KILLEEN presented four petitions from parishes . _ in Meath ; one for an amendment of the Grand Jury Laws; another complaining of distress ; another for a re peal of the Union ; and the fourth in favour of Reform. SUGAR DUTIES' BILL. The Sugar Duties Bill was read a third time, on the motio❑ of the CIIANCELLOR of the ExcHEQusa, and passed. CIVIL LIST. The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER having moved the order of the day for going into Committee on the Civil List, for the purpose of receiving the report, Mr. PHILLPOTTS said he did not know till this morning that it was the intention of the Noble Lord to propose to take the report into consideration. He was, therefore, unprepared to bring on a motion which be bad intended to take that opportunity of making. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no wish to.take the Hon. Member by surprise, and would postpone the Committee till to• morrow. Mr. PEIILLPOTTS gave notice, that when the ques tion was brought forward to-morrow, he should move that in lieu of the pensions being charged on the Civil List, a sum should be added to the privy purse, and placed under the controul of his Majesty. PRICE 7D. SUPPLY. Mr. WYNN moved that the House resolve into a Com mittee of Supply. Mr. GOULBURN objected to taking the army and navy estimates (unless there existed an urgent necessity) on a day not usually devoted to business. Mr. WYNN said the half-pay would become due next week, and must he provided for. Sir R. PEEL had no particular objection to the votes being proceeded with, if necessary, on a Wednesday ; his complaint was that due notice bad not been given. It was not till four o'clock that morning that the bringing on of the estimates had been fixed, and it did appear a little precipitate to press a discussion within a few hours of Members being apprised by the votes of the intention of Ministers. However, if the House desired to proceed, he was content to go into a Committee. The House having resolved itself into the Committee of Supply, -Mr. C. W. WYNN moved, " That a sum not exceeding 19,975/. 10s. 3d. be voted for the Royal Military Asylum." Mr. HUAIE objected to this vote as impolitic on prin ciple, and also as extravagant as a charity. The CHANCELLOR - of the EXCHEQUER defended the vote. The objection of the Hon. Member for Middle sex, if good, would apply to every charitable establishment. After a few words from Sir M. W. RIDLEY and Sir H. Ha RDINGE in support of the motion, the latter Right Hon. Gentleman asked the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland whew the Irish Reform Bill would be ready. Mr. STANLEY said, that he would lay it on the table f the House to-morrow, and be ready to enter then, or any other time that might be deemed more convenient, into an explanation of its details. CoIoneISIBTHORPE supported the grant ; and after a few words from Mr. O'ConAell, Sir H. Hardinge, Mr. C. W. Wynn, Mr. Jephson, and Mr. Maberly, the vote was agreed to. The next resolution was, "That a sum not exceeding 39,8031. 19s. Bd. be granted for paying the expence of the volun teer corps for 1831." After a few words from Mr. HUME, Mr.O'CONNELL asked, whether this included the charge fin• the Irish volunteer corps ? and being answered in the affirmative, objected to going into that rote in the ab sence of so many lion. Members who intended to oppose the Irish grant. Mr. STANLEY had no objection to postpone that part of the ♦ote. Mr. W. WYNN admitted that it wonld be more cor rect to take the vote for the volunteers of the whole United Kingdom together, and the proposed vote in its present form was accordingly postponed. The next resolution was " That a sum not exceeding 135,0001. be granted to his Majesty for defraying the charges for Generals hot Colonels of regiments, for the year 1831." Mr. HUME protested against the vote on the ground of extravagance, but declined taking the sense of the Com miT tee on the question, on account of the scanty attend. ance of Members.—Agreed to. " That a sum not exceeding 95,3001. be granted to his Majesty for defraying the charges for unattached officers, for the year 1831."—Agreed to. " That a sum not exceeding 691,8001. be granted for half-pay and military allowances to reduced and retired officers for 1831." Agreed to. That 91,3001. be granted for half-pay and reduced allowances to officers in foreign parts, and pensions to wounded foreign officers, and also pensions to their widows, for 1831."—Agreed to. " That '27,174/. be granted for retired officers of the local militia, and militia pensions for 1831."—Agreed to. " That 147,778/. be granted for defraying the pensions to officers' widows for 1831."—Agreed to. " That 180,0191. be granted for allowances for the compls sionate list, the royal bounty, and pensions to wounded officers." Agreed to. " That 1,335,9E6/. 7s. be granted for the hospitals of Che st I and Kilmainham, and the out-pensioners belonging thereunto." Mr. HUNT took this opportunity to observe, that pen sioners in general were the idlest and most dissolute class of persons in the entire country, and their lazy and im moral habits were, in his opinion, exclusively attributable to their enjoying pensions, which superseded the necessity of industry. Sir H. HARDINGE vindicated the character of pen sioners from the animadversions of the Hon. Gentleman, who, as a professed friend to the poor, ought to have been the last man in the House to vituperate them. Mr. C. W. WYNN thought the body alluded to for the most part as respectable as any other members of the corn-. ►unnity.—Resolution agreed to. "'That 53,369!. be granted for auperannuations in thepublicde partments."—Agreed to. " That 3.2,000/. be granted for Exchequer fees, and army ser vices."—Agreed to. NAVY ESTIMATES. As the House was about to resume, Sir J. GRAHAM said, that although he had given notice of his intention to bring forward the navy estimates this day, in consideration of the present state of the House he should abstain from so doing, and he meant therefore to postpone the motion until Friday, when be was sorry he should be constrained to interfere with the Scotch Re- form Bill, which stood for that day. The navy estimates, however, must take precedence of all other business before the House, as the present supplies would not suffice for snore than six or seven days longer. Sir H. HARDINGE requested that the Chief Secre tary would give notice of his intention to explain the de tails of the Irish Reform Bill to-morrow, on bringing in the Bill, in order that the Members for Ireland who were not aware of the day fixed, might be in attendance to hear his promised explanation. Mr. STANLEY said he had supposed that the notice which had been already given to that effect must have bad sufficient publicity, but, in compliance with the suggestion of the Gallant Officer, he did not hesitate to repeat it. The House resumed, the Chairman brought up the report, and obtained leave to sit again on Friday. Report to be received to-morrow. Sir F. BLAKE presented a petition from certain inha bitants of Durham, in favour of Reform ; and petitions to the same effect were presented from West Bromwich and Kirkcudbright, by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The other Orders weir disposed of, and the House ad journed at Eight o'clock. THE BETHNAL-GREEN MURDER.---Yester day DEXTER and CLARKE underwent a further examina tion before the Magistrates. After hearing the testimony of several additional witnesses, Mr. ITAnnwrcic remarked that the great discrepancy in the evidence of respectable and credible witnesses heightened the mystery in which the case was at present involved. The prisoners were again remanded, DEXTER having stated that be wished to bring forward other witnesses to speak as to the manner in which he had spent his time at the period in question. The attack upon the Palace of the Tuileries, en the 10th of August, 1792, forms one of the most striking incidents in the new romance bearing that name; while the indignities endured by MARIE ANTOI NETTE during her imprisonment within its walls, are among its most pathetic details. We are however pre sented with a brilliant picture of its regeneration under the auspices of the fascinating JOSETHINE and the First Consul of the French Republic. " PARIS, MARCH 21.—We have seen a letter front Naples of the 12th of March, which says, tbat the city was perfectly tranquil, and that the new Ministry, the composition of which at first appeared by no meaiis encouraging to the system of moderation, conducts itself, on the contrary, in such a manner as to satisfy the wishes of the majority. " The young Prince, brother to the King, and Lieu. tenant-General of Sicily, had just been received at Palermo with real enthusiasm. " The necessity of an amplification of the public burdens is generally admitted, and people are even agreed in think ing it just that the addition is made to the land -tax, since it has been successively reduced by 80,000,000. The ad dition to the land-tax, and to the tax on parents, must also cause an addition of nearly 100,000 electors. But if France consents to pay a budget of 1,400.000,000, it is to support a formidable attitude with respect to Europe, to defend itself, or attack if needful ; it is above all to support a firm policy, and freed from concessions to the principles of the Congress of the Holy Allianc.. Thus the financial discussion will become wholly political. It will be asked whether so powerful a mass of pecuniary re sources is to have no other result than to render France a party to negociations to degrade it, since the principle of non-intervention is manifestly violated, contrary to the doctrine which has been loudly proclaimed by the French Government for several months past. " It will be asked whether France had cast cannon, ma nufactured two or three millions of muskets, bought forty thousand horses, palisaded its fortresses, and armed eight hundred thousand men, merely to come to the ratification of the treaties of 1815. " A letter from Bordeaux, of March 17, says:—..‘ It seems very certain that an army of sixty thousand men is going to be stationed on the eouthern frontier of France. It is announced that forty thousand infantry and cavalry will shortly pass through our city, on their way to the eastern Pyrenees, and that twenty thousand men will, at the same time, pass through Perpignan, towards the Eastern Pyrenees. The name of the Lieutenant-General who will commend this army of observation is not known.' " A letter from Marseilles, of the 15th of Ma, cb, says : -' The order immediately to fit out a squadron of six sail, which arrived at Toulon yesterday, has been ex secuted without delay. The destination of this squadron has not transpired. " ' The equipment of all our men of war is pr , secnted with all possible diligence ; the crews of those which are complete do not come on shore, in order that they may be ready to sail at the first signal.' " PARIS, Mmactt 21.-It has been resolved in the Council of Ministers, to disapprove all participation of civil and military functions in the associations which have been formed, under the pretext of aiding the Government, to provide for the deficiency of the country ; and circulars to that effect are going to be issued by all the Ministry."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have received, by express, from Paris, the journaic of Tuesday, together with a packet of letters and papers to the latest date, from various parts of the continent. By private letters from Marseilles of the ltith, we learn that General Clausel, the late commander of the Algiers expedition, had arrived there on the 17th, where he waited for General Gerard, who is destined to command the French Army of the Alps. Colonel Hubert Saladin, Charge d'Affaires from the Provisional Government of the Italian United Provinces to the French Government, had arrived at Marseilles on the 16th, in the Il Francisco Pt imo steam-boat, and reached Paris on Sunday. The Sardinian Minister at Florence having refused him a pass port through Piedmont, he was obliged to embark at L,l - which re7arded his arrival in France for some days, There is now no doubt of the occupation of Parma and Moiena by the Auitrians ; and, if it be true likewise, as a Genevese paper states, that the Bolognese State has been entered by that army, then there is an end, at least for the present, of the Italian insurrection. It was nevertheless positively stated in Paris on Tuesday, according to the information of our private correspondent, that the direct interference of Austria was to be confined to Parma and Modena, and that the Papal territory was to be sustained by negotiation of the Allied Powers. We have received tfie Berlin State Gazette of the 16th, which does not contain a word of the additional news from Warsaw. Our private letters of that date state that General Count Guicsnau, who commands the Prussian army of observation in Silesia, and in the Duchy of Posen, had left Berlin for that Duchy. The rumour in Berlin was, that the Prussian Government apprehend ing the Polish army would at length be compelled, by the superiority of the Russian reinforcements, to retreat, would attempt to force a passage across Germany, and find an asylum in France. Prussia, according to these letters, seemed desirous to mediate with any of the other Powers between the Poles and the Autocrat ; the latter, however, continues to denounce vengeance, and the former a loud defiance. The glorious resistance of th• Poles appears to have made every where on the Continent a lively impression for that heroic race. The following are extracts from the foreign papers : " Extract of a letter from Ferrara, dated the 10 th in stant :—The ancient order of things was re.establislA at Corrachio as soon as the change that had taken place at Ferrara was known. Consequently the whole of the pro vince of Ferrara may he considered as having returned to its duty.' " A resolution has been come to in the council of Ministers to interdict all public functionaries, whether civil or military, from taking part in any association formed for the purpose of petitioning the Government to provide for the defence of the country, and circular letters to this effect are to be sent with the signatures of ail the Ministers..—Moniteur. " M. Girod de l'Ain is appointed reporter of the Spe cial Committee charged to examine the motion of M. B rude. The opinion which prevailed in the Standing Committees and in the Special Committee., is to divide the motion into two parts. The perpetual exclusion of the elder branch of the Bourbons is to be pronounced, but with a softer term than that of exclusion. The second part of the motion, to apply the private property of Charles X. to the damages caused during the revolution of July, is to be adjourned until the discussion of the Bill on the old Civil List. In the meanwhile all this property is to be put under sequestration. " We hear that counter orders have been given to the Austrian troops, and that they have suspended their march. It is added, that negociations are about to be opened between France, England, and Austria, on the affairs of Italy.—Le Glube. "We learn that the English will send a fleet to thecue cour of the Pope, which is to embark at Civita Vecchia. This news appears extraordinary, but it will not astonish those who know the treaties which unite England and Rome. Mr. Canning once put before Parliament the Convention by which Pope Leo XII. engaged to England not to suppress the Lent and days of abstinence, which would have ruined the lucrative English fishing trade. It is probably this policy which obliges these excommuni cated to place again afloat the bark of St. Peter." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES..--SITTING or MARCH 22- The sitting commenced at two o'clock, after the sitting of the Bureaux, on a proposition of M. Dubois Ayme, and the project of naval pensions, which the Chamber de ferred to to-morrow's debates. When they assembled, The proposition of M. Dubois Ayme, who is considered as a colleague of the Ministry, who of themselves dare not levy fresh taxes and impositions, but who, being in want of money, must endeavour in one way or the other to make every man pay his share, have set him (M. Dubois Aysne) forward to make the proposition as his own. It is as follows :—That all persons receiving pay, salaries, re mittances, donations, or pensions, from the public trea sury should, until the Ist of January, 1832, undergo the sacrifice of a proportional part of the said arsenals, &c. according to the annexed table. The following persons only to be excepted :—Pensioners, &c., whose salaries, pensions, &c., shall be no more than 600 f., soldiers and officers up to the rank of Captains in. elusively. Nor shall (according to this proposition) any salary, pension, &c., be augmented until that period. M. Girod de l'Ain, reporter of the commission, said that the commission had unanimously agreed with M. Baude, and he begged that Hon. Deputies would not consider it a measure of revenge that they proposed now to take, hut one of necessity and security. It was likewise the wish of the nation that Charles X. and all his descendants, and the descendants likewise of his family in the female line, should be excluded from the territory of France, aad . lose sing any property; hey lost the faculty of acqu irin g or re their rights, at all their rights as French; and as int losing
