quantity of foreign sugar imported, he begged to remind the House of Mr. Huskisson's remark respecting the small quantity of Mauritius sugar that could he produced, and to ask them to look at the quantity now imported.-- When once the door of permission was opened, it was difficult to say to what extent the privilege might not be carried. When the difficulties of the West India pro prietors were considered, and when ruin looked them in the face, was this a policy which ought to be pursued towards an interest to relieve which an a nxiety was pro fessed, particularly when that interest did not ask relief, but only that its burdens should not be increased ? (Hear, hear.) Was it wished to retain the colo nies ? If so, and if the distress of those colonies were such as it notoriously was, it could not lie consistent with the professed views and i n tentions of his Majesty's Mie nisters to refuse an inquiry. He trusted no reliance would be placed upon a statement which had been ad dressed to the Noble Lord—(Lord ALTIIORP signified as. sent)—by some gentleman, end which he (Mr. Burge) bad seen some Members reading, which contained the grossest falsehoods ever penned. Whoever the gentleman might be who wrote that address, be could not permit so gross a libel on the character of the West India interest to pass unnoticed, which bad no foundation in fact. The Hon. Member here pointed out some misstatements in the paper he referred to. He eulogiz-d the character of the West India merchants and colonial body, many of whose difficulties, he observed, had resulted from their liberal conduct towards their labourers abroad. He would in stance the case of a West India merchant of the highest respectability, long a Member of that House, who had re cently failed, (Mr. Manning we presume,) not through any extravagance or wanton speculations, but through the drain occasioned by the demands of the labourers on his estates for clothing and subsistence. The Hon. Member concluded by moving as an amendment " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire how far the permission to refine foreign sugar in this country is opposed to the in terests of the West India colonies, and tends to encourage the continuance of the slave trade." Mr. P. THOMSON must acknowledge that the Hon. Member had shewn considerable skill in his endeavours to enlist on his side the sympathies of the gentlemen who in that House advocated the cause of the negro, but his at tempts to impugn the Bill, whether as a measure of policy or humanity, had been equally unsuccessful. The Hon. Member had completely failed in establishing that the con sumption of foreign sugar would increase in this country, and that the measure of Government was not at all calcu lated to favour the slave trade. In the whole range of his speech he had been able to bring forward but one argu ment, and one solitary fact, neither of which would stand the test of examination. The fact was, that the Bill was einthing more than a renewal of the old Bill with the pro visions of which the Hon. Gentleman was evidently unac quainted. He did not appear to be aware that for every hundred weight of foreign sugar imported into this country an equal quantity of West Indian sugar would be exported, and, bearing in mind this important point, it was cliff' cult to perceive the injury to be inflicted on the colonial interests. The truth wag, the principle of the Bill had been sanctioned by the Legislature over and over,—in the silk trade, the cotton trade, and other leading branches of our manufactures. The sugar must be re fined somewhere, and the Bill would enable this country to have the benefit of the process instead of Hamburg or Am sterdam, or any other place on the Continent where it might be refined, and imported into England for con eurnption. The Right Hon. Gentleman went into numerous details, to prove that the West Indian interests at present possessed all fair advantages of the market. He believed that the introduction of foreign sugars for refining, if carried to any extent, would be most beneficial to the British ship-owners, for a very large amount of British capital was invested in the production of sugar in the Brads ; and it was to the advantage of the growers to import it in British bottoms. He was satisfied that the measure did not effect any injury to the British West- Indian interests, and he only begged the House to bear in mind that the Bill was to last but for one year. 2 Mr. GOULBURN thought the merits of the question lay in a very narrow compass. Though he had examined the subject with his best attention, he had not been able to make up his opinion one way or the other, and saw not bow any Hon. Member could arrive at a decision upon such a complex question, without inquiry before a Select Committee. That inquiry he earnestly urged upon the House. Lerd ALT amp bad no objection to inquiry, so as it did not interfere with the progress of the present Bill. It should be recollected that Ministers had, on a former occasion, assented to a proposition of the Noble Member. for Buckinghamshire for a Committee of Inquiry, but that the West India interest refused to take advantage of the opportunity. The Bill was a temporary measure, to be in force but one year; so that its being passed now would not preclude a full inquiry on a future occasion, though itn t was plain that such an ioquiry at the present mome would delay the Bill too long for tiny useful practical pur pose this Session.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GORDON contended that if the Bill were allowed to continue in force on.' other year, the result would be ruinous to the West India interest, and, perhaps, fatal to the connexion of the West India Colonies with the mother country.—(Hear.) Mr. MABERLY, as a friend to the West India in. terest, would suggest to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Burge) the expediency of w ithd r awing his m otion for the present, and , if he so thought fit, of bringing it forward on a future occasion in the mode pointed out by the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. J. WOOD conceived that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had entirely failed in tracing the existing dis tressed condition of the West India interest to the opera tion of the present Bill. Mr. HUME argued that relief ought to be extended to the West Indian Colonies, but contended at the same time that as Government had determined to grant a Committee of Inquiry, the West Indian interest ought to allow this Bill to pass for one year. Mr. JOHN WEYLAND supported the proposition of Government. Mr. ROBINSON was almost inaudible amidst the calla of the House for " Question." He was understood, how ever, to support the motion of Mr. Burge. The House then divided, when there appeared-- For theinotioti Against it • Majority for Ministers On our entering the gallery we found Mr BURQE on his legs, declaring that be would, in every subsequent stage, oppose the progress of this Bill as far as the forms • of the House would allow. Mr. B. GORDON hoped that after the small majority which Ministers had obtained, they would not persist in forcing this Bill upon the House. A desultory conversation then took place between Sir Burdett, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. C. Ferguson, and Mir K. Douglas ; after which Lord Althorp declared his intention of persisting in this Bill. The SPEAKER then put the question that this report be now received. • The gallery was cleared for a division, but no division took place. The report was then received, and a Bill was ordered to be brought in pursuant to the above resolutions. The other Orders of the Day were then read, and the (louse adjourned at Half-past Two o'clock. The death of the Bishop of WORCESTER, together with the present state of the Episcopal Bench, has, it is said, effected a considerable change of centitnent among some of our Right Reverends as to the Reform NIL The occupants of two of the richest Sees in England, the Bishops of ELY and DUKHLii, have been for some time confined from illness. Dr. BATuur, of Norwich, is be tween SO and 90 ; and the Bishop of SALIca4URY and the Archbishop of YORK- are both aged men—the latter be tween 70 and f3O. Prudenee, therefore, dictates that the Bench and the Minister should by no means, at this mo. merit, be on any other than the most trim* terms. Dublin Tiniee. JOHN HODGSON, Esq. M.

The clause originally stood " within seven miles of the place of elec tion," and has been altered to " within seven miles of the city or borough," the distance being c,oinputed from the boundary of the city or borough respectively.

(FROM THE COURT CIRCULAR.) At five minutes past one o'clock yesterday his Majesty, accom panied by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, arrived at his Palace, St. James's, escorted by a party of Light Horse. Arrangements were then made for the King holding an Inves- titure of the Order of the Bath. The Knights Grand Crosses and Commanders who were to receive their badges assembled in the Entre-room. Garter King of Arms, having received his Majesty's com mands, and Bath King of Arms, having called over the names of the Grand Crosses, the Knights and the Officers of the Order proceeded to the Throne-room, and were ushered into the Royal presence. The King appeared in a Field Marshal's uniform, wearing also the splendid robes of the Order of the Bath, and stood in front of the Throne. On the right of the King was the Duke of Cumberland, who carried the Sword of State, the great Officers of State, and some of the Cabinet Ministers. On the left of the King were the Dove of Gordon, the Earl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Ludlow, Lord Lvnedoch, Lord de Saumarez, Lord Howard of Effingham, Lord Howden, Lord Hill, Sir Thomas Hislop, Sir James Kempt, Sir. George Nugent, and Sir William Henry Clinton, Knights Grand Crosses, and wearing the splen did mantles and collars of the Order. The Knights and Officers approached the Sovereign, making their obeisance, Sir George Nayler, Genealogist, carrying a crimson velvet cushion, on which were the different ribands and badges. His Majesty was then graciously pleased severally to invest Generals Sir Henry G. Grey, Sir Henry Ward, and the Hon. Sir William Lumley, with the ensigns of a Knight Grand Cross. His Majesty then commanded an investiture to take place of the Knights Commanders recently appointed, having in the first place invested Major-General Sir James Douglas (who was made a Knight Commander in the year 1815, but who has since at tained the rank of Major-General) with the Star of the Order. The following Knights Commanders were then severally intro duced by Sir George Nayler, and were knighted and invested : General Sir Samuel Venables Hinde, Rear-A dmiral Sir Graham Hammond, Bart., Major-General Sir F. C. Ponsonby, Sir James Bathurst, Sir Henry Worsley, Sir H. Scott, Sir Dugald Gilmour, Sir John Guise, Sir Robert Scott, Sir John Macdonald , Sir Wil liam Machean,Sir Charles Bruce, Sir John Ross, Sir J. F. Fitz gerald, and Sirs George Elder, John Buchan, and Hugh Gough, which last three officers were invested with the ensigns of a K.C.8., but, being already Knights, were not knighted on this . occasion. Thecereinony of investiture consists in the Knight kneeling on the right knee, and the King placing the riband round the neck or over the shoulder (according to their rank), and presenting them with the badge. Those who were knighted received that honour with the:sword of state. The Knights Grand Crosses were called over, and the cere mony concluded. The following officers of the order attended on this occasion : Sir George Nayler, Genealogist ; A. Greville, Esq. Bath King of Arms ; Captain M. Seymour, Secretary and Register ; G. F. Beltz, Esq., Usher of the Red Rod ; and William Woods, Esq., Secretary to the Knights Commanders. His Majesty held a Levee.

This morning some milkmen, going to milk their cows, discovered three of them dead under a tree, where the poor animals had -taken shelter in a field between Hendon and Hampstead. At Edgware a valuable horse was struck dead in a waggon on its road to London. The houses in the vicinity of Rattlebridge were completely inundated from the torrents of rain that rushed from the Hampstead and Highgate hills, and the occupants of the lower parts of the houses were compelled to take shelter, some of them in the first floors, so sudden and rapid was the flood. A large fire ball fell in Portland-town, Regent's-park, but fortunately without doing any personal injury. Several large trees in Kensington-gardens are entirely stripped of their leaves by the effects of the lightning ; and we fear the accounts from the country, in the direction which the storm took, will be micro. REFORM MEETINGS. DARTFORD.—A meeting was held on Monday in a field at Dartford, of the tradesmen and artisans of Dart•• ford, Crayford, and its vicinity, to petition the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill. The Committee met in the town at one, with binds of music and banners, and marched to the field, where they were met by their Cray ford friends in excellent order. A hustings had been erected, where the Committee, w t i Mumford Camble, Esq., of Sutton.place, a Magistrate of the county, at their head, took their stand. Mr. Landale, sen., a respectable tradesman of the town, was called to the chair. There were near 3,000 persons present, and the meeting was conducted with the greatest propriety. Mr. Cam')le pro posed the first resolution, and was followed by other friends of Reform. The bells were not rung on this joyous occa sion. The churchwardens were applied to, and cheet ful!y consented, but the Vicar, the Rev. Mr. Grant, perempto lrily refused the keys of the church. DEVONSHIRE.—In Devonshire alone. Barnstaple, Bideford, Creditor, Plymouth. Devonport. Dartmouth, and Exeter, have already voted petitions to the Lords, praying that they will pass the Bill. In our next we shall pro bably have to announce that the county of Devon has ex pressed a similar opinion.—Devonshire Chronicle. EDINBURGH.—The Scotsman of Saturday says•, that when " Sir James Gibsen Craig—(at the Edin- burgh meeting)—remarked that the y people could do without the Peers, but not the Peers without the people, the shouts were tremendous," that every symptom of opposition has, in fact, vanished, and lhat even the few self-elected bodies which have not yet joined in the national movement, are afraid to croak in their hiding places. The signatures to the petition amounted, when closed on Saturday evening, to 36,159, a larger number ever subscribed any former petition from Edinburgh, though it only remained open little more than two days. The petition has been forwarded to London.— Caledonian Mercury. GREAT YARMOUTH.—A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of this Town was held at ti e Town-hall, on Friday, Mr. Alderman Barth in the chair. Some ju dicious speeches were made upon the importance of pass ing the Reform Bill, and various resolutions were agreed to, embodying a request to the House of Lords, that it would second the wishes of the nation by giving its con sent to the measure. HASTINGS.—A meeting was held on Monday, at the Town-ball, pursuant to public requisition. The Mayor, by whom the meeting had been convened, presided, at tended by only one of the body corporate with him on the bench. This latter gentleman, after serving the patron of . . this borough for between thirty and forty years, has at length become a convert to the Reform Bill. The meeting consisted of tradesmen of the town principally. After several very appropriate speeches delivered by Mr. Baker, Mr. Mannington, H. Elphinstone, Esq., Mr. Smith, Mr. Harman, and Mr. Honiss, a petition was adopted ; and after having receive 1 signatures, will be forwarded to the Lord Chancellor for presentation. Thanks were voted to the Mayor, and after four cheers for the King, the meeting broke up. —Brighton Guardian. HERTFORDSHIRE.—A county meeting will be held to-morrow. ISLINGTON.—A requisition having been signed by upwards of 500 highly respectable resident householders of Islington, paying taxes, and having votes at all parochial meetings, was presented to Mr. Churchwarden Woodward yesterday, when that gentleman returned an answer that be did not feel he could convene the meeting consistently with his duty and piaciples, although avowing himself a Reformer.---. Times. KENT —The requisition to the High Sheriff contains a list of 313 names, including those of several clergymen, and seven Members of the House of Commons. The meeting takes place at Maidstone to• morrow. MARYLEBONE.—Yesterday a very numerous meet ing of the inhabitants of this extensive parish was held at the Horse Bazaar, King-street. Portman-square, Mr. Hume, M.P. in the Chair, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill. In opening the business of the meeting, the Chairman expressed his opinion that the Bill must pass, but in order to show to its enemies that the people had not changed their opinions upon it, it was highly necessary that every place in the country should meet and send their opinions to the House of Lords. Mr. W. Smith, late ALP. for Norwich de clared that it was a scandalous calumny, invented by the enemies of Reform, to say that the people wished to in timidate the Peers, for the people well knew that to use a threat or intimidation was the surest way of missing the object they had in view ; on the same principle as some persons fought duels, not to avenge an insult, but to show they were not afraid. Colonel Jones st,ted that he had applied to the parochial authorities to call a meeting of the parishioners, and the only one he saw was Mr. Hall, one of the churchwardens, who informed him that he ac cepted office upon the understanding that he was not to attend parish meetings, and he could not, there fore, comply with the request. The Gallant Colonel declared that almost all the higher grades of no bility--of course excepting a certain Royal Duke, were in favour of Reform ; by a list which he had he found that of the Dukes, five or six of the oldest were in favour of Reform ; the first Marquis on the list was also in its favour, and the Earls—the descendants of the Iron Barons of England—were as a body ready to support it. Neatly all the Viscounts and the eldest Barons also approved of the measure—further than that, if gratitude were the re sult of justice, every Catholic would support it. The passing of the Bill only, said Colonel Jones, would pre serve the tranquillity of the country and ensure the conti nuance of the House of Peers. He, however, could not believe that so illustrious a body would oppose the wishes of a united people, but if they did not he hoped the King would prorogue the Parliament for the purpose of creating an additional number of Peers to insure the success of the measure. The resolutions, and a petition founded on them, were unanimously agreed to, and entrusted to Lord Man vers for presentatiiin. As a proof of the peaceable and orderly conduct which actuated the meeting, we need only mention that a proposition made by a 31r. Constantine, that the inhabitants should go in a body to the House of Lords on the night for presenting the petition, was re ceived with every mark of indignation. NEWCASTLE. --A meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle took place on Monday, the 26th, Archib ild Reed, Esq., in the chair, for the purpose of considering of a petition to the House of Lords in favour of the Reform Bill. A petition moved by Mr. Attwood was agreed to by a show of bands. NORTHAMPTON. —At nine o'clock last night, the number of signatures to this petition was upwards of 1,550. We would strenuously impress upon every friend of the " great healing measure" in this town who has not yet signed his name, the imperative duty he owes to himself and to his country of doing so without delay.

RINGMERE, (SyssEx.)—The inhabitants of this hun dred met on Monday, and adopted unanimously a petition to the Lords to pass the Bill. The petition is to be pre sented by the Earl of Burlington. ST. LEONARD'S, SHOREDITCH.—Yesterday the inhabitants of this extensive and nopulous parish assem bled in the parish church, in pursuance of a requisition numerously signed, which had been presented to the Churchwardens, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill, as lately received by them from the House of Commons, and thereby to ensure the maintenance of public tranquillity throughout the British empire. The meeting was a highly-respectable one, and a series of resolutions and a petition were adopted, after many very able speeches in refutation of the calumnies lately vented against the people, viz. that they had turned their backs upon themselves, and beoome indifferent to the cause of Reform. ST. JOHN, WAPPING. —The merchants, shipowners, and other inhabitants of the'parish, assembled in the vestry_ room at the church, Mr. French, senior churchwarden, in the chair, for the purpose of petioning the Lords to pass the Reform Bill. The v e stry-room being too small for the number of persons who attended, the meeting adjourned to the large room of the parish workhouse, where the pc•. titian was agreed to unanimously. SHEFFIELD.—(From a Correspondent, )—A meeting took place on Monday, in this town, at which John Blake, E•q., presided. It was not, however, so numerously at tended as the two former meetings on the same subject, in consequence of several trades' meetings being held in various parts of the town at the same time, at one of which above 800 persons were present. John Parker, Esq., the senior Magistrate, moved the first resolution, expressive of great gratification at the passing of the Re form Bill in the house of Commons. T. A.

These Constitutionalists, as they dub themselves, are up to every manoeuvre to gain signatures.

A deputation which the tions of Bologna, Forli and liavenn intended to hitter, produced in consequence a great sensation. 6,4 Court being inf.rmed of it, intimated that the depu t ‘".! would not b.- received, and that if the province hag grievances they might lay them before the Provincial "t,„ cils, which would enter on their functions in Ootobee ll . o o This prudent answer did not give satiafaction, for ea rl f , reasons, and the Legations adopted a different 010% ja D-puties set out as couriers, under the pretext of debvelorte despatches; they are six in number, and are said t° accepted tt,e deputation unwillingly. On the 1t,„1 September they went to the residence of the secre.hee of State, but were not received till the 4th, an d t e only as couriers, for the Government will not bear 0(5.5e, putation.

The couriers make several demand* e'r. that no more Papal troops shall enter the legatioo t tie these troops shall withdraw from Rimini, and tbs,,,,it legations shall be allowed to arm themselves to 109 o re order ; for this they desire to convert the bells int ° e jlec non, and expect money from Rome ; they reject the II be of the sth of July, or at l e a s t demand that it bbl ' . amended. 1 All this tends to secularization, though the object i5 , 0 0 ,0 i1l confessed.

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHEWETII,-That, actuated by a sense of duty and gratitude, we cannot refrain from ex pressing our sentiments of deep admiration at the states manlike conduct your Lordships have evinced, since you were called into the Administration and councils of our de voted country, in the superseding of a long ruling faction which had nearly plunged society in hopeless and irretrie vable ruin, by its love of domination and power, and most inveterate hatred to any change or amelioration of our ex isting abuses and oppressions ; a further continuation of which would not have been borne by the people, and which must inevitably have led to consequences they seemed ra ther to court than dread, from their impolitic conduct in conducting the afinrs of the country, and the con temptuous manner in which they treated the people —happily now united, and alive to the true inte rests of the country. We cannot but express our admiration at the measures promulgated by your Lordship; in the Reform Bill ; but particularly that of destroying for ever the corrupt system and influence of the boroughmongers, and their powers-_a power which fettered England to misery and degradation, and cursed the land. We beg to express to your Lordships our ap proval of the admiration of the persevering, yet patient, conduct of your Lordships, during the sacred and ardent contest with a faction bent on opposition, and wholly op posed to any improvement in the political institutions of the country, whose conduct we pity. At the same time we cannot but deeply censure their folly, in attempting to oppose the will of a united people, and the benign wishes of their patriotic and beloved Kin!, who lives and reigns in the hearts of his people—a people who seek nor desire change of the fundamental principles of the Constitution, when freed and unsullied by the pollution of craft and oppression, which, we lament to observe have opposed themselves to national regeneration and improvement, and only supported by the chicane of those irrational principles, pr , ceedeng from a tyranny, drooping under its own weight of ignominy and the hatred of an in tignant nation. It truth be palpable, or palatable, and its observance important, to those who have so strenuously opposed the advantage of the improvement of our political institu tions by the Reform en our representative system, we are led to pity their want of sympathy towards the people, whose unsuspecting minds and credulity have long been the sport of factitious and designing men, to prop up a system rendered odious by delusion and injustice—a mock ery of what is called Government. We now welcome the flattering hope, that, by your Lordships' patriotic exertion., the axe is laid to the root of the deadly upas of political corruption and misrule. We console ourselves that the wretchedness ot the system, and its wide spread branches, are now doomed by the country, through your Lordships' views and patriotic ex ertions, to undergo those prompt and salutary chtnges now so essential towards the general good ot society and the safety of the State. We 'sincerely congratulate your Lordships, that the reasonab'e and thinking part of the people have, since the introduction of the Reform Bill into the House of Commons, wholly approved of the measure, as best calculated to promote the ends of fair and equitable legislation, that by its means truth and justice may bear sway, in lieu of political fraud and op pression. _ _ Through your manly perseverance, we rejoice that tyranny can no longer impose a stupor upon the country —that men's minds are now unshackled, to promote by union the ends of national justice and national happiness, in the security of political tights, of which they have been so long debarred ; whil e th e ir opp ressors h ave b een living on the common sp o il, wrung b y taxat i on an d f rau d from the industry of th e peop l e , unknown to the despots of the darker and m ore remote ages o f th e wor ld. We trust, that by your patriotism, a brighter day is about to dawn upon the people of England, and that the happiest results may daily manifest themselves, under the benign auspices of a Reformed Parliament ; which, through the instrumentality of your administration, may be drawn to the true state of the country, its glory and happiness ; that the people be no longer enslaved by the immutability of codes, framed and fashioned by faction, and the despotism of men assuming the stile and title of representatives, but who, in reality, have opposed their own interests is those of the people's, and their just rights ; and that for ages, unhappily for the people of England, they have had to witness power concentrated in certain classes, and themselves rendered passive and sub servient to laws and impositions opposed to reason and justice —nay, to humanity itself. Laws which have shocked the better feelings of the man and Christian ; and when the suppliant voice of our devoted country has been raised against State abuses, it has been too often answered, or silenced, by the contempt of our legislators, who set themselves above the controuling power of the people, by the infliction of punishment and fines too grievous to be borne by an enlightened and truly patriotic nation. Long, long have the pe o p l e felt a nd seen the necessity of a tha morenge inthepolicy of their rulers, and that another and equitable system of governm ent s h ou ld forth with be established, on the foundation of our venerable Constitution, beautified and invigorated by the hands of yourrLordshin and sanctioned by th e Ki ng an d his People.
