• 56 , those he had artroratedlo succeed the m It then duces a series of,framples to 'prove that th - T - Vittrior 'could never remain ills power for any length of time in England. Lord Grey, encouraged by the late revolution in France, conceived that the time had arrived to realise the old hopes of his party. He laid his hands on the Constitution, by impairing its electoral principle. Hence proceed all the em ; with which England is now afflicted, the destruction of its trade,-Lliustry, and prosperity. The Quotidienne their argues that if btzrd Grey's Administration was anti-social at home, it was no lest; an ti-national abroad, and sees no safety for England but in a Cabinet, formed by the alliance of such men as Sir Robert Peerar:d Mr. Stanley. The Constitutionnel expresses regrt:t at the withdrawal from office of so honoured and so honesi , a ‘ man as Lord Grey, who so nobly crowned his political life 1:v the great work of reform. It deems a Tory or Radical kitainistra tion impracticable. The Journal de Paris contents itself with publishing extracts from the late London Papers, without expressing any opinion on the late Administration or that likely succeed it. The Journal des Debals contains a few lines in praise of Earl Grey, and boldly asserts that the system of policy he has founded has taken such deep root in the country that his successors, whoever,they may be, can neither alter or modify it. The National of 1834 considers the juste milieu system at an end in England, by the retreat of Earl Grey, and can see no political man in the country able to revive it. The time for the Radical Opposition to come in is not yet arrived, and the Tories, in spite of their boasting, are not in a condition to be able to carry on the Government. is , 4 • 64 . t•• . ~..:4.: 4 . r ~,, ,T A - 0.• ..- • 1 1* . :) .

PARIS, JULY 12. In a report by a committee of the House of Commons on the state of the waste lands, drawn up in 1797, the number of acts passed for enclosing, and the number of acres enclosed in the following reigns, are thus stated : (From the M o rning Herald.) The amount of Continental news received at Paris dur ing the week about to expire is trifling indeed ; but were it otherwise, the importance of the intelligence from London is such, that Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Switzerland, and Italy, each of which but so lately engaged our attention, are forgotten. That which is said by the French press on the subject of the breaking up of the Grey Administration you will collect from the mass of journals that will reach you with this letter. To it I shall make few additions, although' it would be practicable with facility to fill half-a-dozen of your columns with that which is (and is not) said at the Chateau, the bureau of the Ministers, the Salons, the Bourse, the Cafes, the Boulevards, and all other places of resort for schemers, newsmongers, idlers, and gossips of all colours and castes.

July 7, 1833. THE LUXURY afforded by a. compact and really useful DRESSING-CASE, in which every possible conve nience is neatly and economically combined, Induces J. and T. RIGGE, Manufacturers of Shaving Apparatus, and of the Cele brated Magnetic Razor Tablet to the King, earnestly to solicit the Public attention to their very extensive stock of Travelling or Port able Dressing Cases ; they are equally adapted to the Dressing Table or for Travelling ; the advantages they offer are, first, the very essential requisite of superior Razors, and next, 'their portabi lity, durability, and economy. To Cadets, and Gentlemen proceeding to India, &c., the above Cases offer peculiar advantages; in fact, they cannot fail, on in spection, to secure the approbation and patronage of all those who value the comforts of a complete Travelling Dressing Apparatus.

This I assert advisedly, although his Tory dinner on Monday last would seem to argue that (to use a common, and I fear not a very recherché phrase), his amphibious Highness began to smell a rat. I have reason to know that a despatch from the French Embassy in Lon don reached the French Government in the forenoon of Thursday (the day before yesterday), which soothed it (the French Government) with the assurance that there was no foundation for the reported intention of Lord Grey to retire. Three hours later in the day, a telegraphic despatch, dated London, Wednesday, July 9, was received at the Ministry of the Interior, announcing that Earl Grey's Administration was no more, and that the Kieg had sent for Lord Melbourne, to instruct him to form a new Cabinet.

On Saturday, the 12th of July, was published, price 35., to be con tinued every alternate week, Part I. of THE ENCYCLOP/EDIA BRITANNICA,. Re vised, corrected, and Improved; and including the Supple ments to the two last editions, with Introductory Dissertations on the History of the Sciences, by Professors Dugald Stewart, Play fair, and Leslie, and by the Right Hon. Sir James Mackintosh, Illustrated by a new set of Engravings on Steel, and comprising a complete series of Folio Maps, engraved by Sidney Hall. Edited by Professor NAPIER. The extraordinary circulation attained by many of the cheap publications of the day has suggested to the proprietors of the En cyclopaedia Britannica, that if a work of high and established cha racter were offered to the public at a price and in a form accommo dated to the demands of the age, the support which it might reasonably anticipate would be proportionally liberal. In accord ance with this view, they have resolved to commence a now issue of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, in a form which will bring it within the reach of all classes of the community. The improvements made upon the present edition, both in the way of amending former articles, and of introducing new contribu tions, are manifold and extensive, and the Proprietors feel assured that the Seventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica will, when completed, form the most valuable digest of human know ledge that has yet appeared in Britain in the convenient form of a dictionary. The additions which have been made are indeed so various and multiplied, as to render it not so much a new edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, as a new work under that title. A Prospectus of the work, more fully explaining the mode and terms of publication, may be obtained by application to any book seller.

On Wednesday afternoon a great sensation was produced in Chatham and neighbourhood in consequence of a soldier shooting his sergeant, when on duty. The name of the de ceased was Patrick Feeney ; he belonged to the 50th Regi ment of Foot, and the soldier, Benjamin Gardner, was a private in the same regiment. Sergeant Hewer stated, that on Wednesday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, as the grenadier company was at evening parade, the prisoner, Benjamin Gardner, was ob served by Sergeant Feeney, the deceased, who was exercis ing the company, not to be so steady in the ranks as usual, upon which he ordered him to advance two paces in front, with a view to ascertain if he was sober. He gave - the words " right about face," which the prisoner obeyed, but staggered in doing so. Not satisfied with this manner, and wishing to give him an opportunity to correct himself, he gave the words " left about face ;" the prisoner again stag gered, and it was obvious he was in liquor. The sergeant then called a corporal and told him to take the prisoner to the guardroom, upon which he instantly brought his Musket to a priming position and fired. The sergeant fell, and, upon being raised, was found to have received a musket ball in the right side, which had taken an oblique direction and passed out under the ribs. The sergeant survived only about two hours. By the Coroner—lt was evident he intended this mis chief for some one, as it was contrary to orders for muskets to be loaded whilst on parade duty ; and the prisoner ad mitted, when on his way to the guardhouse, that he had, a fortnight ago, loaded his gun to shoot witness, but he had latterly got better ; but he did not regret what he had then done, as he had rid the world of a tyrant and a scoundrel. The fact, however turned out in the course of examination to be that the deceased was a remarkably mild and hu mane man. A verdict of " Wilful Murder" was returned ; and the prisoner was committed to Maidstone Gaol to await his trial. He had been formerly in the Royal Marines, but his character was so bad that he was drummed out of the corps. GIBRALTAR, JUNE 19.-4 regret to have to com municate the appearance of a few cases of cholera here, which has occasioned the suspension of clean bills of health. The complexion of the distemper, up to this moment, is so mild, however, that some of the doctors contend that it is not cho s cho lera. June 26.-1 send you this by th e M alabar, and lament that I cannot contradict the report I sent you on the 19th re specting the cholera ; but I am, nevertheless, happy that it continues to be of a very mild description to this;and tame, I h m op e e , s oe o t on dly t a ?se c e as c e le s an hav b e ills no o t f re-istued.ehxecaeltehdedtivoor three : it ha to beensnY mortal in fifteen instances, but the individuals were mostly aged, or reduced to a weak state by intemperance. From other Parliamentary documents it appears, that from 1783 to 1793, 343 Enclosure Acts were passed, or 31 2-11 annually. This was in a time of profound peace. From 1793 to 1815, both years inclusive, a time of war, 2,073 were passed, or 90 3-25. From 1792 to 1820, the close of the reign of George 111., 2,287, or, upon an average of 28 years, 81 19-28 annually. Now, taking the money expended on the relief of the poor in 1793 to be the same with the average Of the three years, 1783, 1784, and 1785, which, in the ab sence of other returns, is the nearest approximation to which we can arrive, we find its amount at that time to have been 1,912,2411. The Parliamentary returns also afford us the means of knowing the amount of money expended on the poor alone in 1803, when I,l2s'additional Enclosure Acts had been passed. It was 4,077,8911., so that in 20 years it had been doubled. At the close of the war, after 2,416 additional Enclosure Acts, it was 6,129,8441., or more than treble of what it was in 1783. At the close of the reign of George 111., in which 3,411 Enclosure Acts were pissed, the money ex pended on the poor was 7,329,5941. There is no return of the poor-rates for 1760 ; but in 1750 they only amounted to 689,9711. Besides the evidence furnished by the Parliamen tary returns as to the concurrent increase of the number of Enclosure Acts, and the amount of the poor-rates for England and Wales in general, we have, in Sir F. Eden's History of the Poor Laws, a mass of evidence, showing how the Enclo sure Acts operated on the labourers of different parishes in distant parts of the kingdom. Nor are these results at all to be wondered at. The labourers in agriculture were undoubtedly the sufferers by these alterations, which took from them part of the resources on which they depended for support, and transferred them to their employers. Their privations were, in consequence, in creased; and thus, as the average price of corn rose from 48s. a quarter in 1776, to 128 s. a quarter in 1813, it was no wonder that they were obliged to apply to their respective parishes for relief to a greater extent than they previously had done. HOUSE OF COMMONS LIBRARY. Report of the Standing Com] of February last to assist N Library, to whom were ref( The Right H, Sir Robert Harry Inglis. Mr. Spring Rice. Sir Robert Peel. Mr. Littleton. Sir Henry Hardinge. Dr. Lushmgton. Mr. Goulburn. Mr. Frederick Shaw. Your Committee feel great satisfaction in commencing their report by stating to the House the arrival of a large and valu able accession of books to their collection, as a present from the French Government. The House will recollect that, in furtherance of a recommendation of the select committee of 1832, the journals and a set of papers printed by order of this House were transmitted to France, as the commencement of an interchange which it was considered desirable to establish and to maintain with the Government of that country, with respect to the papers and journals ordered to be printed by the administrative and legislative bodies of the two kingd oms . The volumes, the receipt of which is now announced to the House, form the first return which has been made to England. Your Committee congratulate the House on the advantages derived by the enlargement of the space allotted to the library subsequently to the report of 1832 ; by which report, indeed, a still more considerable enlargement has been recommended. The library is now so much more frequented than at any former period, that the original room would probably have been crowded to a degree which would have rendered it compara tively useless. The catalogue has been re-arranged—a measure rendered necessary by the great iperease of books purchased in conse quence of the recommendation of the Select Committee of 1832, and is now ready for publication. A general index to the bills, reports, and accounts and papers which have severally been ordered to be printed by the House of Commons from 1801 to 1832 has been printed, pursuant to the recommendation of the same Committee. The general utility of such index, indeed its absolute necessity, has been felt by almost every member who takes part in the business of the House. Your Committee recommend that Messrs. Hansard be directed to pursue the same plan for the formation of a general index to the sessional papers printed by order of the House, as that followed by the librarian in regard to the general index to the journals ; so that, at any period, when the papers ordered to be printed by the House shall have assumed such a bulk as to be difficult of reference by annual indexes, a similar publication may be ready for printing ; and th us , when such convenience may be deemed expedient, the delay other wise incident to the completion of a general index may be found to have been avoided. Considerable progress has been made in the index to the local and personal acts, the completion of which index was also recommended by the committee of 1832. It is probable that by the close of next session it may be in such a forward state as to be ready for the press. The value of the arranged series of reports from 1801 to 1826 has been so generally appreciated, that your committee have directed that this series should be completed to the end of the present session. As in these reports (to quote the words of the committee of 1832) " there is much valuable information rendered unavailable, from the absence of any means of reference to the appendixes" thereto, " your com mittee recommend that an index to such materials from 1800 to the close of the present session be compiled, similar to that subjoined by Messrs. Hansard to the collection of reports dated prior to 1800, and printed in 15 vols. folio." This in dex, extended to the present session, might be accompanied by such notices of the reports themselves as would form a general means of reference to the whole series, comprehending not less than 200 vols. Your committee are induced to state, that by a recent ar rangement all papers presented in pursuance of orders or of addresses of the House, are deposited in the library during the current session, in order to facilitate access to such as are not at once ordered to be printed. This regulation is _parti cularly offered to the attention of the House, as the ready in- Spection afforded by this arrangement may frequently either prevent the printing papers which do not contain the infor mation sought—or may present the opportunity of abstracting from bulky Returns, all which may be necessary for the use of the House. This plan, it is hoped, has already had some effect in diminishing the quantity of printing. Your Committee have come to the following resolutions in respect to the future management of the library, and of the rooms appropriated to it :- Ist. That no other Committee, except the Committee of Privileges, be, under any circumstances, permitted to sit in the library. 2d. That no strangers be, under any circumstances, per mitted to be in the library from the time when Mr. Speaker takes the chair to the rising of the House; Peers not being included in this restriction, nor strangers under special per mission in writing from Mr. Speaker. 3d. That memoranda of works which Members may think desirable for the House to possess be entered in a book to be kept for that purpose by the librarian ; and that no book be received into the library, except such as may be presented by or through his Majesty's Government, or through the Library Committee. The reasons against the present almost indiscriminate ad mission of strangers are obvious : the library, instead of being restricted to its legitimate purposes, has sometimes been used for the assembling of deputations ; and with respect even to individual strangers, it is difficult to enforce the existing rule (which directs that parties introduced by one Member into the library shall leave the rooms with him), since they have often addressed themselves to other Members, with whom they were unacquainted, for the purpose of requesting permission to con tinue in the rooms under their sanction ; and there is reason to believe that the conversations incident to the admission or the presence of strangers is itself an inconvenience to the majo rity of Members, since, without reference to any other consi deration, the rooms, notwithstanding the enlarged accommo dation lately given, are sometimes scarcely'sufficient for Mem bers themselves. Your Committee have directed that a copy of these rules be left with the messenger of the library, and that he be directed to enforce the same. The Select Committee of 1825, which recommended the building of the existing library, determined also, in the plan on which they decided, that the librarian should have some accommodation in part of the proposed building. This .nar rangement was not adopted be , a different plan altogether -bein g preferred on other grounds eni.irelY texpe diency or inexpediency of gra i :ting this accommod ation the librarian. irrespective yof the In consequence of the necessary atf, 'lance of the librarian nittee appointed on the 26th day Er.

Mr. William Ewart Gladstone. Mr. Tooke. Colonel Fox. The year 1830 forms an epoch in the history of Switz erland, as it was the commencement of its political reform. The Constitutions of several of the Cantons are already changed, and thus the way is prepared for the revision of the general Constitution of the whole of Switzerland by legal means. Such a revision was imperiously called for by the spirit of the age, and it will be accompanied by a reform in the Church, equally necessary under present C;vurnstances. When we consider that the Governments of the majority of the Cantons are deeply impressed with the idea, that a moral and enlightened people are alone worthy of liberty, and can alone be confided in as its defenders, we infer that the result will not disappoint the, friends of liberal principles. That we are not attributing too much to the Swiss Reformers, is evident from . - several facts. Zurich began first to lay the foundation of a solid system of public instruction, by giving a reception to some of the most celebrated Professors of Germany, who, disgusted with the unhappy state of things in their country, in which all intellectual improvement is severely proscribed, sought an asylum in Switzerland. Berne, far from being behind the other cantons, has very recently founded an University under equally favourable auspices. The government of that important Canton, composed of the most honourable men, entirely devoted to the cause of liberty and national independence, are at present devoting themselves with the utmost zeal to the preparation of a law for the improvement of public instruction, and more especially the organization of good primary or village schools (ort-sehulen), the basis of every system of education. The example which the two leading cantons of Zurich and Berne have thus set will soon, we doubt not, be ex tensively followed; and already there is everywhere the greatest activity in pursuing all sorts of liberal inquiries, with a view to improvement in civil and criminal legislation, and the other objects to which public opinion has been directed. The army of the confederation has been put on a respectable footing, and, in short, we everywhere see pro gress made in whatever tends to internal improvement, and defence against external aggression. The state of things which we have described is well de serving of the attention of all Europe. Yet cheering as the prospect is, it is not to be supposed that the objects of the Swiss patriots have not been misrepresented. Swit zerland is an aggregate of cantons differing materially from each other. Party spirit in the interior, has always but too zealously seconded the journalists of the countries of the Holy Alliance, in exhibiting in a false light the ends and measures of those-men who are actuated by a sincere desire to produce the good of their country. The cele brated Dr. Siebenpfeiffer, who has lately found an asylum in Switzerland from the persecution of the Holly Alliance, and is one of the chief ornaments of the newly-feunded uni versity of Berne, has, we see, announced the publication of a periodical review, calculated to give a correct view of the present endeavours in Switzerland, and to furnish means for justly appreciating the proceedings in that country. In his prospectus, which we have now before us, he states that his Review will be an organ for enabling the several governments and cantons, the people and their governments, and Switzer land and Europe, to communicatewith and understand each other. With this view he promises to insert all the new constitutions aud , laws, either at length, or in an...akidged form, with such criticisms on them, and hints for improve ments, as may occur to him. He promises to lay before his readers a full account of all that relates to religion, schools, the arts and sciences, and, in short, to give as com plete a picture as he can of the proceedings in Switzerland, and the occupations and manners of the people. The pub lication will appear once a month, and much is expected from it.—Morning Paper. ADJOURNED INQUEST. Last evening, Mr. BAKER, the Coroner, and the Jury sworn in on Saturday last, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attendant on the death of William Clubb, a journeyman coppersmith, reassembled at the London Hos pital, further to prosecute their inquiry. George Peter Garritt said he was a fellow workman of the deceased and Davidson, who is at present in custody. He was at the White Raven public-house on Saturday evening week, when the affray took place between them, but he did not witness any of it. After it was over he went into the kitchen, where he saw Davidson writing, and observed that it was a great pity to see shopmates quar relling and fighting, up on w hi c h Davidson remarked that he had been grossly insulted by the deceased, and at the same time exhibited his book, which was blotted in consequence of the deceased having flung some flowers on it while he (Davidson) was writing.. Witness said that the deceased was too strong for him to compete with, and Davidson re plied, " But I have given him one hit that he will feel to morrow." Juror—Were not the words he used, " I have given him a settler ?" Witness —No, Sir, they were those I have before stated. deceased going into the s t ree t, a ft e r quarrelling with Richard Colley, a no th er cop p ersm ith, said that on the Da vidson in the parlour, he had endeavoured to prevent Da vidson following him, ind was assisted by Mrs. Beckett, the landlady ; on his doing so, Davidson struck him twice and got past him : He could not say whether he (David son) had a knife in his hand at the time, because he did not see one ; but in the scuffle the finger of Mrs. Beckett had been cut by some sharp instrument. Mrs. Beckett was next called, and her testimony did not differ materially from that of the last witness. Diana Forward, the wife of a policeman, saw the de ceased a few minutes after his return home on the night - of Saturday week, and on his seeing her he said, " Oh, Mrs. Forward, lam a dead man." She asked what was the matter, and the deceased exhibited his shirt, which was quite bloody, and a doctor , was instantly sent for, and im mediately attended. She washed his breast with sponge and water, and saw the wound, which was bleeding pro fusely at the time. The deceased, in answer to a question from her, said it was Dick Davidson did it, and desired his wife to proceed at once and get a warrant against him, so as to have him taken up and punished for the offence. The deceased was at once removed to the hospital ; before he was, he fainted from loss of blood. Witness subsequently gave information of the circumstance to a policeman, and Davidson was taken into custody. Robert Hack, a pot-boy at the White Raven, deposed to seeing the prisoner Davidson put his hand into his pocket during his fight with the deceased, but did not observe him take any thing out. After the examination of other witnesses, the Coroner summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Richard Davidson, who is at present in custody on the charge.' The Coroner at once made out a warrant for his committal to Newgate, and bound over the witnesses to prosecute. CHOLERA PREVAILS IN DUBLlN.—Amongst the victims on Monday is a gentleman deservedly lamented, who was in prime health and spirits in his office on Saturday, Francis Armstrong, Esq., Register in the Court of Chancery, brother-in-law to George Moore, Esq., late M. P. He died, after a few hours' illness, at his house, North Frederick street.—Limerick Chronicle. A GOOD BARGAIN.—Mr. L., a well-known pro fessional singer in the metropolis, one day entered a cheese monger's or grocer's shop, to make a purchase. " Have you any more of this paper ?" said he to the master, regarding with curiosity and astonishment that in which his purchase was wrapped. " Plenty, Sir, a great pile of it." Mr. L. re quested to see it, and followed the tradesman into a little back room, where many reams of waste paper were collected, to be used in his business. " Well," said Mr. L., after inspecting the pile from whence the wrapper, of his parcel had been taken, " will you sell this--what 'would you ask for it ?" " Twopence-halfpenny per pound," answered the man, much astonished at the uncommon greenness of his customer.— " You can have it, if you like, for waste paper at that price." Mr. L. readily assented, and thus purchased for a few shillings 33 complete oratorios and operas of Handel, besides fragments of the best,—viz., Arnold's edition ! Henceforth, let no one dpspise the literature that may find its way to the trunk maker's and chandler's, &c.—Mirror. Neer did the Monarchy of the Barricades experience a more severe secousse than by the dissolution of the Grey Administration. It is, as you will observe by its organ, the Journal des Debats, laying the flattering unction to its soul, that a Liberal—that is, in the French sense, a ma nageable—Cabinet will succeed to it. ...One thing is, how ever, seriously apprehended, namely, that some how or other Sir Robert Peel will become a member of the Government about to be constructed. This I give you as a fact, with out troubling you with the why or the wherefore. The Hon. Baronet is, I am assured, one of the very many cauchernars that trouble the repose of the King-Citizen. Let your Administration take any shape but that, and through the Archbishop of Autun his perturbed spirit will sink to rest ; for all the others eligible to office Prince Talleyrand is said to have boasted he carries in his pocket. The effect produced among the gamblers at the Bourse, yesterday, by the news of Earl Grey's retirement, was not, as you will have seen by the Stock list, so unfavourable as might have been expected. It were idle, however, to oc cupy you with those gentry, than whom, in all weather cock France, there exists not so sensitive, so changeable a class. On the general public the affair has made, however, a very deep impression ; for it has reminded' them that the national spirit and the national strength have been so de pressed and so broken down by the peace-at-any-price sys tem of the juste milieu, that France would be incapable of successfully resisting a combined attack of the Holy Al liance were England to be detached from her—an event deemed possible should a Tory Administration succeed that of the Whigs. This is all that it strikes me, at present, you would de sire to know of the impression made here by the news from London. A little later in the day I may, perhaps, return to the subject. The dearth of intelligence from Spain continues. By your private correspondence you are in advance of the Paris Press ; but even your arrivals through me become less frequent. This is to be accounted for by the occupancy of the Basque provinces by the insurgents. From Bayonne no letters have reached me these.two days ; not because of any impediment to their arrival from thence, but, I am con vinced, because your correspondent, owing to the circum stance just mentioned, had nothing to communicate. We have no domestic news. The heat of the weather is again becoming intolerable, for it promises to be as great to-day as on this day fortnight, when he had 92 degrees of Fahrenheit in the shade. Storms, and suicides, and assas sinations, its natural accompaniments in France, are not only- already frightfully frequent, but may be expected, I fear, to be considerably increased by the intensity of this day's heat. OPINION OF THE PARISIAN PRESS ON THE CHANGE OF MINISTERS IN ENGLAND. The Gazette de France states that the downfall of the Grey administration might have been foretold from the moment it was obliged to stop in the way of innovations, by the House of Lords finding a point d' appui in the Crown—it was henceforth vulnerable on all sides ; the Radicals found it too great a slave to the past—the Con servatives too far compromised with the Radicals—and the Tories considered them as the most dangerous and guilty enemy of the British constitution. The blow has been inflicted on the Constitution of 1688, by a reform law, and it is now too late to expect to be able to prop up the tot tering edifice. The Gazette, who sees in the Tories the only party competent for the task, does not think that they will immediately arrive at power ; but that they will ulti mately be called upon is its decided opinion. I t then cri ticises the foreign policy of the administration, and shows how detrimental to British interests and trade were the sacrifices consented to by it to preserve the alliance of France. The Temps, after paying a tribute of praise to Lord Grey and his administration, still maintains that the cause of reform cannot suffer by their downfall. A coalition cabinet, to view matters in their worst light, will attempt to para lyze the movements . ; but, by that very act, it will compro mise its own existence, and prepare a re-action, in a perhaps more radical sense than is to be desired. The result of the late reform is now not only appreciated, but well felt ; it has given the people a taste for more, and proved that privileges and corrupting abuses may be victoriously attacked and destroyed without endan gering the peace of the country. The Conservative system is there at an. end, and for ever, and with it the men who are its abettors. This journal then goes on to show what effect the change in the political Administration of England. is likely to produce in the Doctrinaire Cabinet of France, composed, as it is, of such heterogeneous ele ments, without any great cohesive power, and foretells its speedy downfall. The Courrier Francais contrasts the manner of acting, under similar circumstances, of British Ministers, with that of the disciples of the school of Talleyrand and Fouche. How is it possible, say these, that a Ministry composed of such able and distinguished men can shrink before so slight an obstacle ? Elsewhere such matters are so easily ar ranged. Without denying the confidence, means could have been devised to throw doubts on the veracity of the disclosure made to the Chamber, it would have been said that whenever a Minister thought proper to hold a com munication with a Member of the Opposition, the Cabinet did not deem itself bound by his words, as would be the case if the communication were of an official nature ; it would, perhaps, also be asserted that the Minister was no longer of the same opinion—that when he announced the Bill would be abandoned he was sincere, but that his opinion having since changed, it was indispensible that the Bill should be presented—that the Ministry, in adopting two diametrically opposed views of the same subject in the course of a few days, had given a proof of its good faith and zeal in the search of truth, &c. The Minister, after this explanation, would triumphantly descend from the tri bune, and cast a menacing look on the Deputy who had brought about the discussion ; the Chamber would applaud, and among the public a number of people would be found disposed to admire the presence of mind of the Minister who had extricated himself so artfully from the difficulty. In England matters are differently arranged ; there the object is not to exhibit skill, art, or assurance ; all the public man heeds is to satisfy his countrymen that he is, and remains, a man of honour. If the least suspicion be cast on the sincerity of a communication made by Minis ters, the entire Cabinet feels the attack ; if differences have originated among them, which the Chamber and the public view in an unfavourable light., the entire Cabinet will that moment deem it expedient to resign ; none of its Members will remain in office if a single circumstance of their poli tical life be misconstrued. When we see Ministers setting such a value on the esteem of their country, evincing such a scrupulous delicacy of sentiment, such unalterable pro bity, we conceive the extent of the guarantees they offer their fellow-citizens, and the price of that political probity, which no man can completely disdain without his private character being seriously impaired thereby ; we conceive that the country in which such Statesmen exist is well go verned and administered, because the Government and Administration are honest—the first and indispensable re quisites, which are wanting in so many places, and for which no substitute is to be found. The Quotidienne sees in the breaking up of the Grey Ad ministration the downfall not only of a Cabinet, but that.of a whole system. This event it had foretold the m oment Lerd Grey had not replaced Mr. Stanley and his Conser vative friends, by men more imbued with radical principles Their Lordships met at half-past foUr o clock. The House soon after presented a very animated appearance, it being expected that some ministerial explanation would be given. The space before the Throne and below the Bar was very much crowded by Members of the House of Commons. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not take his seat• until past five o'clock, the Ehrl of SHAFTESBURY having pre viously sat as Deputy Speaker. ESTABLISHED CHURCH. Petitions were presented in favour of the Established Church, and against the claims of Dissenters, by Lord B olle from Milton Abbott, and 3 other places in Devonshire by,.,L?rd Kenyon, from parishes in Salop ; by Lord D.,.,ne vor,'Yso.m Pembroke; and by the Duke of Gloucester, from par i s h e s ;,n Lincoln. JUSTICIS OF THE PEACE (IRELAND) BILL. On the mot of of Lord MELBOURNE, the Order of the Day for the second reading of this Bill was postponed till Monday next. POOR LAW A. MENDMENT BILL. The Duke of BUCKING-I:TAM wished to know when it was intended to bring forward t;:e second reading of the Poor Law Amendment Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it hat been his Noble Friend's intention to bring it forward on Friday ; but, upon further consideration, it was deemed more expe dient not to bring it forward until next Monday. MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. On the question being put, that the House do now ad journ, The Earl of HADDINGTON said, before the House adjourned he wished to inquire of any of the Noble Lords opposite, or of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, whether there was or was not at that moment a Government.—(Hear.) There was, as might", be naturally expected, a very strong anxiety upon the subject, and therefore he thought he should not be supposed to be influenced by any party feelings in putting that ques tion. Further he wished to ask whther any Noble Lord or Right Hon. Gentleman had received his Majesty's commands to form an administration.—(Hear, hear.) Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to the question put by the Noble Lord, said, my Lords, it is almost unneces sary I should inform you that I have been desired by his Majesty to attend him to confer with him upon the formation of an administration. I trust, my Lords, you will give me credit for feeling that respect for my Sovereign, that I should have taken the earliest opportunity of an nouncing any determination that might be come to, as soon as that determination might be given ; and I trust, my Lords, you will feel certain, that no such declaration having been made to you up to the present moment is sufficient proof that the arrangements have not arrived at that point of maturity that would justify me in making that declaration. My Lords, I have now to inform your Lordships, that his Majesty has desired me to lay before him such a plan of administration as might appear to be competent to carry on the service of the country at the present difficult crisis.— I trust the House will not require of me any further explanation .at the _ present moment.; but this I will say, that I could not have accepted the Com mission with which his Majesty has thought fit to intrust me, unless I had been assured of the cordial support of my Noble Friend, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer—(Hear, hear)—and had also the sanc tion and approval of my Noble Friend, late at the head of his Majesty' Government.—(Great cheering.) It is impossible for any of your Lordships to be more sen sible than I am of the difficulties surrounding the trust that has been reposed in me.—(Hear, hear.) I feel fully the difficulties of the task, and should have hesitated to accept it but for the deep feeling of gratitude I owe to my Sovereign, and the deep sense I entertain of the diffi culties of the task which my Sovereign has had to perform. —(Great cheering, from all parts of the House.) The House then adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 10. The•SPEnIER resumed the Chair at a quarter past five. The body of the House and the Members' galleries were crowded in every part. A Message from the Lords announced that their Lord ships had agreed to the Elgin and Forres Gaol Bill, and the London Ward Constables' Bill, without amendments. Sir R. H. INGLIS brought up the thirteenth report of the Committee upon Public Commissioners of the House, which was laid on the table. EXPORTS. Lord SANDON moved for a return of the quantities of cotton yarn, cotton wool, and refined sugar, exported to foreign countries from January to July, 1834. Mr. FOSTER presented a . petition from licensed brewers and victuallers of London and Birmingham against certain clauses of the Beer Bill. Mr. DUNDAS presented a petition from a place, the name of which we did not hear, in favour of the Friendly Societies Bill. Sir JAMES SCARLETT presented petitions from several parishes in Winchester in support of the Established Church. Mr. TOOKE moved the second reading of the Amend ments to Howell's Divorce Bill. MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. Lord ALTHORP rose amidst the greatest anxiety, and said, he had to move that the House should adjourn till Thursday next. I have to state (said his Lordship) that Lord Melbourne has received his Majesty's commands to lay before him the plan of an administration. That being the case, I should hope the House would feel that the same reasons which induce the House to adjourn during the former days, would also induce it to adjourn till Thursday, by which time the plan of the administration will be in a state to be laid before the House.—(Cheers.) . , Mr. C. GRANT brought up the Report of a Committee on Steam Navigation to India, which was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. SHEIL begged to ask the Secretary for the Trea sury whether any information had reached Government as to the State of the Poor in Tipperary. Major Willan had found 2,000 out of 7,000 in Thurles on the eve of utter starvation. He was sorry to trouble that Hon. Gentleman with any questions at so inopportune a time, but the pressing exigency of the case demanded instant attention. Mr. F. BARING was not able to give the Hon. and Learned Gentleman any answer. The SPEAKER then put the question that the House do adjourn till Thursday next, which was seconded and agreed to. Lord ALTHORP then moved that the orders of the (lay be read ; which having been gone through pre Anna, the House adjourned at 6 o'clock. TAME TROUT.—It is not an uncommon occurrence for persons residing in the country, to place trouts in their wells, and they find them very useful in destroying insects, and keeping the water pure. About eight years age, a trout three inches in length was put into a well at Delnashaugh, and it is now fully eighteen inches in length, and so tame that it will eat out of the hand of any person who may choose to hold out food for it.—Elgin Courier. --, THE CAUSE OF SNORING.—The only change which takes place in the muscles of respiration during sleep, is, that in proportion as the sensibility is impaired, they are ne cessarily excited less readily, and the act of respiration is thus rendered less frequent, a more powerful application of the cause being required ; the consequence of which is, that when they are excited, the air is drawn in with greater force ; hence, and from the relaxation which is apt to take place during sleep in the parts about the fences, particularly in those ad vanced in life, and those of relaxed habits, the cause of snoring. Thus we generally observe that the snoring is the louder the slower the breathing, that is, the relaxation of the fauces being the same the mor e p ro f oun d the sleep. The loudest snoring I ever heard, adds'the writer (Dr. Philip in his Treatise. " On Sleep and De a th"), so loud as to startle the attendants, was in the last ten minutes of the life of a person, who died of a dis ease of the b ra i n , i mpa i r i ng t h e sens ibility, and who only breathed three or four times during that space.
