The nature of that danger was set forth in a resolu tio t moved by Mr. Grote, " That shoUld the Bill be no so rejected or mutilated, the mercantile classes of London farther contemplate, with unfeigned alarm, the possibility of discontent and exasperation to such a degree as would paralyse commerce, deprive the labouring population of employment, and fatally en danger public credit." In the speech with Nvhich Mr. Grote prefaced the moving of this resolution, he said, "He was sure that the people of this country would sooner see an invading enemy on their shore., than again have the yoke of the boroughmongers around their necks. The city of London bad a fa r deeper interest, and much more at stake upon the Reform Bill than the Legislature itself could have. If such an event as the non-passing of the Bill should take place, it would be quite apparent to the meeting that the resolution now before them did not state half the deplorable consequences , It said not a word on the difficulty, in such an event, of collecting the taxes. In such an event, how would the tax-gatherer be received when he came with a warrant from those by whom he was employed? Why, he would be received as if be came from the House of Lords, who had forgotten its own dignity. It might, perhaps, be considered that he had no right to enter further into these details; nor would he do so—he would not even gland at the means that would be adopted in such an event, in every part of Engl end, to resist the payment of taxes ; but this he would say, that the taxes, instead of being paid cheerfully, would have to be obtained by force or compulsion. The country was now within a cable's length of that frightful rock, and whether it should be preserved from being wrecked upon it or not, depended upon this meeting and others of a similar nature in other parts of the kingdom.—(Cheers.) It depended upon the ardour with which the community In general, but the trading classes in particular, pressed forward to urge their claims on the present occasion. It depended on them whether the present autumn was to be a scene of desolation, or one of universal joy.—(Loud cheers.) Never was so much of happiness or misery in volved in the decisions of a single assembly as is the one now present." This is strong language; hut Mr. Grote is aware of the erroneous magnitude of the danger ; and in expressing strongly what he feels strongly, he be haves like a good citizen. Many of the Lords— children of sloth and luxury—have never, probably, contemplated the awful consequences which would result from any interruption of credit. They know not what it is to have millions of strong-armed men, without employment, on their hands. When men with such a stake in the country hold this language, their Lordships may rest assured that it is no trifling matter which they have on their hands. We agree with Mr. Lewis Loyd in thinking, that the Peers will not, from mere sordid considerations, bring down on the country the calamity so forcibly described by Mr. Grote. When they are made aware of the real nature of the danger, they will shrink back from it. Men must be demons to say to themselves—here is a country, now the seat of wealth and industry I millions of men are now en joying here peace and content : I will recklessly put an end to this state of things. I will involve these millions in misery. I will make this now smiling country the abode of want and anarchy, though I know I must suffer from the general disorder, per haps be one of the victims to it. We cannot im pute such wickedness to many Noble Lords. They are no doubt, many of them, corrupt and blinded by power, and they would stay Reform if they could; but when they see that the experiment would be attended with nothing less than commercial embar rassment, anarchy, and suffering, such as no living man has ever witnessed in any country—they would pause in time, and identify themselves with their countrymen.—Morning Chronicle. The Scotch Reform Bill was read a second time last night. The Lord Advocate introduced the sub ject in a very able and conciliatory speech. The state of the Scotch representation is so notoriously bad, that few men are so lost to decency as to ven ture to defend it. Scotland, as has often been said, is one great rotten borough. The whole constitu ency, for counties and burghs, according to the Lord Advocate, was less than 5,000, probably did not exceed 4,500. The account given by his Lordship of the peculiar manner in which the want of connection between the Legislature and the people had influenced the Scotch character was ex ceedingly ingenious. The spirit which had been growing up for some time was one pregnant with danger to the empire—" a spirit (he said) produc ing opinions not in connection with the aristociacy of the land—not going along with it, but apart from it —manifesting itself in times of quiet by indifference, and in times of disturbance by open hostility.— (Hear, hear.)" Those who look only at the sur face of things, were astonished to find that Scotland — a country which seldom has more than 3,000 troops in it—should exhibit the scenes which took place at the late election. The Lord Advocate, however, solved this apparent enigma. The demand for Reform pervaded all classes in that country ex cept those few privileged persons who monopolised its representation ; and the petitions from Scotland in favour of Reform were more numerous than those received from all the rest of the empire put together. His remarks on this subject are well worthy the at tention of the boroughmongers The feeling in favour of Reform was, indeed—and he spoke from his own knowledge—greater, deeper, severer, more settled, fixed and resolute, and indestructib'e among the great body of the intelligent and independent of the middle classes, than it was possible, without an opportu nity of studying their character, or viewing the traces of its existence and the circumstances attending them, for the House to conceive. ---(Hear, hear.) And the reason of this was obvious. They saw the current of opinion flowing through all classes—they knew the power which they possessed to give it effect—and they were deeply sensi ble! there of the necessity of Reform, because they saw the dangers of a serious concussion in the event of the failure of their expectations, to be more alarming and more preg nant with mischief than those which might take place even in Birmingham or Manchester.—(Hear, heir.) He (the Lord Advocate) testified to this as one speaking not without knowledge.—(Hear, hear.) He testified to it, he admitted, not without pain, but he testified to it as a mat ter of fact in connection with a number of others in which the testimony was complete.—(Cheers )" The boroughmongers are not sufficiently aware of the formidable character of the danger with which they are threatened from Scotland. The Sewell are calculating, but keen and passionate, and what they are bent on they pursue with the utmost inveteracy. They were too good calculators to agitate Reform by themselves, but they know that with the people of England favourable to Re form, it is now or never ; and were there hesitation in any q uarter, we are sure that the Scotch, by throwing themselves into the scale, would turn it. The Lord Advocate speaks feelingly on the subject, for he knows the resolute character of the people he has to deal with. The Scotch were never yet accused either of fickleness or indecision of character. In stead of answering the Lord Advocate, the oppo nents of the Bill dwelt on the improvement which had taken place in Scotland, and the intelligence of the people. This argument, as the Lord Advocate observed, would lead to the absurd conclusion that all representation was an evil, for Scotland has none whatever. The improvements are the result of other institutions, and the protection which Scotland de rives from the representation of England. The Ju dicial system is better in Sedtland than in England; the law of property is better; the Church Establish ment is paid in a manner less injurious to agricul ture; the national education is also a great blessing. With these and the protection from the English re presentation, there is nothing wonderful in the rapid improvement of Scotland. However, it is not Scot land merely, but the empire in general, which de mands the change in the Scotch representation. Scotland has been prot ected by t h e E ng li s h repre sentation ; but England h as tationbeenTe woefully pillaged by the Scotch repr e sen tation. S cotch .

The sam . e thing was done on the occasion of the Queen's tri al , whet] other regulations were made, which tended greatly to the convenience of their Lordihips, and of all per sons concerned it the pi-oneedings. The Press, in particular, retain to this day a grateful sense of the manner in Which their anxious task was facilitated by the favour of Sir Thomas Tyrwliitt, who afforded them every accommodation consistent with the op portunities he had at his conimand. As the same gentleman Will superintend in the present instance also, there can be ho doubt but the same spirit will be manifested.. It may not be known to Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, and that is the reason why we think it nor amiss for us to state, that the space at present allotted to the reporters is not only inconvenierely small, but that the breadth it occupies in front of the bar is too narrow to allow three persons to stand abreast without difficulty. If a little more room could be afforded in breadth, it would be a most be neficial change. No portion of the space before the bat will now be required for the accommodation of counsel or witnesses, as was the case at the Queen's trial, and we do not anticipate any other obstacle to such an arrangement as we have ventured to suggest. There were other indulgences allowed to the Press at the period to which we have alluded that may be revived with advantage; but we have every confi dence in the good feeling with which the difficulties of the Press will be considered and obviated, as far as is practicable, on an occasion so deeply interest ing to the public.-111orning Herald. The happy reaction of the public mind upon the subject of the nevolutionary Bill, exemplified as it has already been by the result of various recent elec tions, is about to manifest itself also in public de clarations; and the outrageous attempt to intimidate the House of lords from a due exercise of their Constitutional duty will be productive of no other effect than to rouse the Constitutional spirit of the kingdom. Thus confirmed in their resolution, the Peers of the realm, to whom alone we have now to look for. preservation against revolution, will fear lessly be found at their post, and from their efforts the country may confidently hope for the utter frus tration of the atrocious design of overturning that wise and venerable Constitution, purchased and established at the expense of the lives and fortunes of the best lace of patriots that ever did honour to a country. We extract the following paragraph from the Cambridge Chronicle of yesterday : " We are happy to find that a great re-action has taken place in the public mind in this county with respect to the Reform Bill ; and that those who are opposed to the sweeping changes contemplated in that Bill will have an opportunity of putting their opinions on record. We un derstand that many of the most respectable inhabitants of this town have determined to prepare a petition to the House of Lords, which will immediately be left at the Eagle Inn fur signature, praying that their Lordships will give the utmost deliberation to this important question, and not per mit the Bill to pass into a law without such moilifieatwns as may obviate the dangers which the petitioners apprehend are now threatened." This, we are rejoiced to say, is in pursuance of our earnest recommendation, put forth upwards of a week ago. It is a most gratifying circumstance] and presents an example of genuine constitutiona, feeling, which we may not unreasonably hope will be shortly found to pervade the whole Empire. Wherever Radical petitions are got up we hope to see them met by counter declarations, such as that by which the county of Cambridge is about to vin dicate the good sense and loyalty of its inhabitants. — Morning Post. Mr. T. Duncombe, who seems extremely anxious to put himself forward o►► all occasions as the Don Quixote of a certain party, and is even ready to raise a windmill himself to have the pleasure of running a tilt against such an opponent, has, we observe, taken the Marquis of Salisbury's in-olvent tenants under his special protection, and deems the House of Commons the fittest place to settle all questions of arrears of rent and breach of covenant between them and his Lordship's steward. Sir Henry Har dinge's pithy allusion to the Government proceed ing, at the Dublin election formed a very amusing set off to Mr. Duncombe's indignation at the herd treatment of the defaulterF, who complained of be ing deprived of their holdings, only because they paid no rent, and disobliged and insulted their land lord !—Morning Post. - - - LISBON AND GERMAN PAPERS. OFFICIAL—DEPARTMENT OF N THE INTERIOR.SEer. LBO, 5. " TO THE JUDGE, ALDERMEN, AND OTHER OFFICERS OF THE CHAMBER OF THE CITY OF GUIMARAES. " The King, our Sovereign, being informed of the energy, en thusiasm, and decided valour which all classes of the inhabitants of his kingdom displayed when they learned that the French squadron had forced the port of Lisbon, offering not only imme diately to give their personal assistance, but also to contribute by their property to maintain their independence, the magnanimous heart of the King, our Sovereign, affixled by these generous sen timents, has been pleased to order me to signify to the corpora tions of these kingdoms, that they may publish the same in t heir districts, how agreeable their generous offers have been to him, and how much he is pleased with them ; trusting that this intimate bond of affection and loyalty will defeat, as well internal machinations as unjust external aggressions, which justice disavows, and which national law as well as the law of nations condemns. " Conde DE BASTO. " Palace of eueluz, Sept. 2, ISM." The above circular has been sent to the Corporations of all the towns in the kingdom. OPORTO, AUG. 31.—The Correio da Porto contains a docu ment, signed by the Corporation, the Clergy, Nobility, and citi zens of the town of Menzao Frio, dated 27th August, in which they state that the arrival of Don Pedro in Europe being gene rally known, and that ill-disposed persons ' enemies to religion and the legitimate rights of his Majesty Don Miguel to the throne, take this opportunity of spreading alarming reports, with the wicked intention of overturning the order of things lawfully esta blished, they, the said Corporation, Clergy, &c. consider it as their duty to protest against every pretension directly or indi rectly advanced against the sacred right of his Majesty Don Mi guel I. ; and that they will rather die in the sacred cause of reli gion and legitimacy than suffer their sentiments to be doubted, being always ready to defend the King and his unquestionable rights, as established by the three estates of the kingdom on Ilth July, 1828.TLISBO, SEPT. 6.—The visit which the King paid on the 27th inst. to the quarters of the 9th company of the Royal police guard and of the city Royal volunteers, gave to that day all the appear ance of a triumph. Here follows, in great detail, an account th e enthusiastic reception of the King, as well by the troops as by the vast concourse of spectators, and the inhabitants of the streets through which he passed. " In this faint sketch the world may see the sentiments of pure affection,which the Portuguese in general hear to their legitimate Sovereign, sentiments which will make them despise all the in trigues and treasons which may be contrived by the wicked sect that has seen the destruction of Kings and nations ; sentiments which are always more and more concentrated rounhe d t throne, f oun ded by the first Alphonso, and which may Heaven defend, shield, and protect against the attacks of masonic impiety." VENICE, SEPT. s.—We have accounts direct from Scutari, to the 14th August, according to which the Grand Vizier had already passed Bustina, on his march to Brestina, where he met, near Koscona, a numerous corps of Bosniaks, by which he was com pelled, after an action of several hours, to retreat to Pisceni with the loss of some cannon and ammunition waggons. To complete the defeat of the Pacha of Scutari, Izzet Mehmed Pacha had re mained in Alessia with 15,000 men. This Pacha, in consequence of an invitation brought to him by a deputation of the city, sent on the 6th of August three battalions of regular troops to Scutari, who occupied the south part of the city. On the fol lowing day a body of about 600 peasants, collected by the nume rous emissaries of Mustapha Pacha, penetrated into the city in order deed,derto drive out the Govet nment troo to d ps. A few vollies suf after about 15 peasants had fallen, i s p ers e them; but as the Cominander ofthe detachment learnt that Mustapha Pacha had distributed in the interior of the city the troops that he did not want to defend his castle, and has, besides the guns of the cita del, commanding a great part of the town, he judged himself too weak to attempt any thing more, and waited in his position for reinforcements. To-day we have received, by way of Ragusa, late news from Scutari, to the 21st of August. These announce that Izzet Pacha, with his whole force, had entered the city of Scutari, without o pposition, and, confident in the friendly dispos.ition of the inha bitants, had distributed his soldiers in quarters in all parts of the city, when, all on a sudden, on the 18th of August, the Alba nian soldiers dispersed in the city, united with the inhabitants, who were incensed at the excesses committed by the Turkish troops, and excited by the adherents of Mustapha Pacha, flew to arms and made a dreadful carnage of the Government troops, who were stationed in different parts of the town. A part of the troops indeed collected in the Bazaar, and attempted to fight their way through, but they were crushed by the fire of the citadel, and in the end a fire b reakin g out, which consumed all the houses in the Bazaar, universal confusion ensued. It is said that not a man escaped—all that fire and sword had spared were taken prisoners. TILsiT, SEPT. 9.—The Polish troops of the corps . of Gielgud, about 4,000 in number, are now going to the district of Same land, beyond Konigsberg, where they are to remain in the diffe rent villages till the further orders of his Majesty the King. They will be embarked near the village of Schaakin, not far from this town, and be conveyed by water to the place of theirdestination their cantonments at present are to be surrounded by a cordon of his Majesty's troops.

( Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Mr. Alderman W A ITH MAN rose, not for the purpose of con. fitting any thing which had been advanced by the last speaker, because in his opinion what had been said by him. required no confutation; but he was very sorry that the meeting had not heard him so patiently as he (the Alderman) wished, for the enemies of Reform might say that our cause was bad, because we would not hear their reasons against our plan. The Worthy Alderman went at length into his opinion on the Bill, and then continued. It had been said in the House of Commons that after the passing of the present Bill the people would have no security for our most valued institutions ; it had even been said by an eminent lawyer, an Ex-Attorney-General, that after this Bill had become law, even the trial by jury would not safe.— Did such absurd assertions as these require any furth be er notice than contempt ?—(No, no.) He was glad that the meeting agreed with him. The Bill would place all our institutions on a firmer basis. Much had been said about using menaces to the House of Lords. He wished to do no such tiling ; but there was one fear which he wished to impress upon them, that was the fear of doing wrong. The Worthy Alderman concluded amidst great cheering. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The petition having been read by the Lord Mayor, JOHN WELLS, Esq., rose to move that the petition be adopted. He had been a Reformer for fifty years, and had been in the House of Commons for ten years, where he saw the state of corruption in which the present system worked, and he was convinced then that such a time as the present would soon come. The present Bill did not go quite s o far as he could wish, but still he supported it honestly and earnestly. The motion, having been seconded, was put, and carried una. nimously. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his conduct in the Chair, was then passed with great acclamation. His LORDSHIP having returned thanks, the meeting broke up at twenty minutes to four o'clock.

SUGAR.-There is no alteration in the prices of Muscovades this week; the demand appears increasing; the estimated sales are 3,0'0 hhds. and trs. The market this afternoon has a very firm appearance.

The market continued in the same firm state until yesterday, when the demand for ex port rather increased, and some extensive purchases of low Lumps were made at 615. 6d. a 625., which is about 6d. higher than the quotations of last week, and there are now very few parcels re. maining on hand ; of the fine descriptions also, entitled to the bounty on doubled-refined, the sales have been more extensive this week, though at low prices, 70s. a 71s. having been accepted for some large parcels ; for this description of crashed also there has been more inquiry, and some purchases have been made as low as 30s. ; but in the lower sorts there does not appear to have been any thing done.

The Surplus Ways and Means Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord ELLENI3OROUGH moved the second reading of the Coal Trade Regulation Bill. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that having been the meins of instituting the enquiry which had led to the present Bill, lie was happy to see it in such a forward stage. It had been said that the public had not benefitted by the abandonment of the Government duty, but Noble Lords should be aware that some months in the year the stock of coal was not so large as in others, which led to a fluctuation in the price. He was sure that the coal-owners had not kept the extr t profit, but believed it hail found its way into the pockets of the ship. owner. He hoped soon to see the time when tl.e public would get that essential article without any onerous duty upon it. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The Earl of CAMPERDOWN presented a petition from a place in Scotland, praying for a lim . tat:ol of the hours that children should work in r i tatelep.: The Marquis of WESTMIN T 2.11. p.estnt d a petition from the proprietors of new b (r .ouiei in Westminster, praying that they might keep their houses open the same hours as licensed victuallers. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from Norfolk ie favour of the Reform Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Castle-Douglas and its neighbourhood, in favour of the Reform Bill. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—It might be conve nient for Government to know the nature of his motion for Monday. He wished to know, and lie would move for, all the communications that had passed between the Bri tish, French, and Belgian Governments relative to the em ployment of French officers ,in the Belgian army. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the re-commitment of the Game Bill. Lord WHARNCLIFFE suggested that it would be de sirable to refer the Bill to a Committee up-stairs, as it was at present very imperfect. The Duke of RICHMOND, knowing that the Noble Lord was desirous that a measure of this kind should pass, agreed to his proposal. Lord WHARNCLIFFE—His objection was not to the objects of the Bill, but to the sort of machinery by which they were to be effected. The Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that the exe cution of the Bill should be postponed till the next season. The Duke of RICHMOND—There might be some inconvenience in putting it in force on the 20th October, but then the sale of game was one of the most important pat is of the Bill ; and if that was not allowed immediately there would be necessarily a great deal of poaching in the months of November and December, the great poaching months. He had been informed by a London salesman that he had sold as many as 20,000 head of game in a year, and as many as 1,000 in a week. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was desirous that the execution should be postponed till the Ist March. After some remarks from the Earl of CA RITA RYON, the Marquis of SALISBURY, and Lord Wit A IiNCLIFFE, the Bill was ordered to be referred to a Committee up-stairs, BEER BILL. On the motion of Lord Nis:Limo liNE, the report of the Beer Bill was brought up, and the Bill was re-committed. Some little amendments were introduced, and it was ordered that the Bill should be printed as amended. GALLERIES IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY read a report from a Committee, recommending an address to his Majesty, pray ing that his Majesty would be pleased to order the erection of side galleries in the House of Lords, in order to accom modate the extraordinary number of Peers who were ex pected to attend on the debates on the Reform Bill.—The House ordered an address to his Majesty accordingly. BANKRUPTCY COURT BILL. The House went into Committee again upon the Bank ruptcy Court Bill. Lord WYNFORD briefly stated his objection to the Bill. The establishment of a new Court he objected to as being attended with expence and inconvenience, and he proposed that that clause be omitted. He was willing to try the ,ffect of appointing the seven Commissioners as proposed tiy the Bill, leaving the appeal to the Lord Chancellor ; but the appointment of two registrars and three deputy registrars he objected to, and proposed that they he struck out. In the next place, he considered it as an objection to the Bill, that it did not provide that notice should be given to the person proposed to be declared a bankrupt, bef.re the bankruptcy was declared, that be might oppose it if be chose. Then he objected to the trying of the issues of _fact in this new Court. The Judges would not he men of sufficient experience to assist Juries in &dug their duty. As the law stood at present, he had the opportunity of ex cepting to the directions of the Judge, and the Judge was bound to sign the Bill of exceptions, so that the cause might be brought into this House. He had not that ad vantage by the present Bill, unless the Lord Chanceller allowed an appeal to this House. Then by this Bill the payment of fees was taken away, and consequently there was no provision for the payment of the country Corn missioners.—( LORD CHANCELLOR-The Bill did not in terfere with the fees in the country.) He now came to that which he considered as the most objectionable of all the clauses, and one to which even the citizens of London were opposed—ihe meant that which went to appoint offi• cial assignees. Here were thirty new officers to be ap pointed, at an immense comparative expence, without the slightest necessity for them : they could not find security adequate to the immense stuns which would come to their hands, and nobody of the class of Special Jurors would accept the office, except retired tradesmen. Upon the whole, the Bill only substituted a bad system for a good one, and he moved that the words appointing the new Court should be lelt out. The LORD CHANCELLOR—He had gone at length into the particulars of the Bill on a former occasion, and would now only say a few words in reply to his Noble and Learned Friend. Ilis Noble and Learned Friend appeared to consider this merely as a new Court of Review, to dis charge the functions at present discharged by the Lord Chancellor. That was part of the duty of the new Court, but then it did more, for it was not only a Court of Re view, but an original Court, to try issues of fact, with the assistance of a Jury, which the Lord Chancellor could not do. There was a great objection tte s the present mode of trying issues of fact by the Lord Chancellor on affidavit. Suppose the fact to be tried should be trading, or the act of bankruptcy, or other simple matter of fact in the Court of Chancery, there might be ten Counsel on each side, and multitudes of affidavits produced. This might be a very good system for Counsel and Solicitors, and for the useless spending of time, but it was a very bad tootle for getting at the merits of the case. That would be much better done by a Jury, who would have the witnesses be fore them, and who, by a single glance at a witness, could sometimes Pim a better opinion than could be formed from volumes of affidavits. As to giving notice to the person whom it was intended to declare bankrupt, he had pro posed that in the original sketch of the Bill. Some thing like it was done in Scotland, which was certainly in a considerable degree a commercial country. But then a con trary system had prevailed here, and those experienced per • sons to whom, as he had before stated, he had submitted the Bill, strongly objected to an alteration in this respect, being of opinion that a change would have a very mis chievous operation in this great commercial country. He had, therefore, been induced to leave out the notice for the present, and it appeared to be admitted on all hands, that the seizure of the goods must be ex-parte. Then as to the expence, it was only taking in one way what had been taken in another. His Noble and Learned Friend had stated the expence of the Cotninissioners at 9,0001., hut then he ought to have considered that the expence of the present Commissioners was 29,0001., or at the very least 22,000/. Then there would be a great saving of expence —a saving of at least from 11 to 12,0001. by the appoint ment of official assigness, and there would be a saving in all of 24,000/. Another point to which he had forgotten to advert on a former occasion was, that by the present system, seventy Commissioners were required, and conse quently they could not get well qualified men ; and not only so, but even these men devoted only a small part of their time to this duty. Some of the ablest men at the bar would be glad to accept of such a sure provision - for life, rather than submit to all the risks of practice. His Noble and Learned Friend had made—be would not say 40,000/. or 50,000/ , a year, but certainly a great annual sum, while at the bar, and yet he had been glad to accept the smaller income of a Judge. Then the appointment of official assignees would prevent the system of jobbing assignees, and the fraudulent collu sion between bankrupts and assignees, which often took place under the present system. As to the securities, there were rules provided for making them sufficient. That there were imperfections in the Bill he admitted, but so it happened with all new measures, and it was very likely tbat the Bill would soon require revision. Then it was intended to make compensation to those who would suffer from this measure, and it was bad economy to boggle about compensation. The Duke of WELLINGTON was very happy to hear the last words of the Noble and Learned Lord. lie had felt strongly, when this subject was under consideration before, about the caw of l‘lr. Thurlow, son of the late ha k Lord Thurlow, whose patent title to fee s was t o stroyed by the present measure. He had as youcb.Pal, to his fees, under the patent, as their Lordships had to; rent of their estates. It was, therefore, the duty o f tos t vernment to take care that no measure should pass it adequate compensation to Mr. Thurlow and other pateoM The LORD CHANCELLOR—Lord ThurloW gone out of office in 1792, and had lived for twe lee ir ; fourteen ye irs without any retiring pension, whic h os o not established when he went out of office .h isP i r t - 0 ,0 were, theref , ire, vested rights, not merely as gratuves grants, but, as having been purchased since, they only what he had instead of the retired pension. nis doubt, therefore, Mr. Thurlow would have an deg 4 , compensation ; but that must be settled in the other 110 —(Hear, heir.) There were other cases in which eV; pensation must be allowed, so that the immediate o_l4 saving would not be by any means so larg e as it vr°l' ultimately e. The Earl b of ELDON—Lord Thurlow had been f r el t of the Exchepier, and it had been proposed in the Uri of Commons, that if he would state what in come he nail when made Lord Chancellor, the House would goh n .. ,,A up to him. Lord Thurlow was a man of hig h s p irit, refwe d to make any bargain on the subject. Core; salon had always been made to patentees, and often er! to men who did not hold their offices for life, on the Pa n ; ciple that the best men would not accept such offices if .. . the ' were precarious. He would defer what fur ther oh°1:-. tions he had to make on the Bill till another o pp ortutnT Lord PLUNKETT was convinced that a n alteratioo In, the present system was expelient, but he agreed that W I ; pensation ought to be given. What he ro s e for, hove /Lei: was to notice a circumstance which the d e licac y of " Noble and Le irned Friend on the Woolsack hal not Pe; f mitted him to mention. He would lose a great dea l t patronage by his own measure, and even this very Pst e l place of Mr. Thurlow might have been at his &MO:." had it not been for this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) A lthoeg his Noble and Learned Friend hal not mentioned it, th e gratitude and thanks of the public were not the less ape to him.—(Hear, hear.) kit After a few o bservations from Lord WYNFORD , his amendment was put, and negativel without a division; and he did not press any more amendments. The LORD CHANCELLOR then added some amen d , s' ments, and the House resumed; and it was ordered O the Bill should lie reported to-morrow or Monday, wit.h: view to its beiug read a third time on Tuesday--"i. turned. HO USE OF COMMONS, SEPTEMBER 23.

PEMBROKE ELECTION. .40 Sir ROBERT PRICE brought up the repor t °l O lO O Committee on the Pembroke election, declaring the c° 0 1 , pursued by the High Sheriff strongly marked with, ! pable negligence, that of the Under Sheriff with 6;01 partiality, and that of the Assessor with inefficiency;" that in consequence thereof the election was null and,e A MEMBER. wished to know whether it was the Pie tins of the Committee to move for the institution of ‘.her proceedings? it le . was not. •;14r Sir R PRICE observed that 1.. f his intention, however, to move, that the minutes °id" deuce taken before the Committee should be laid fit the House ; but be did not mean to go 00 ii,4l to move for the printing of them, as he was io "tts the notice that had been taken of the proceedings a L l sel zl election would prevent the recurrence of them iii r r elections. He trusted the ensuing election vepu"-rotti found to proceed without vexatious delay or OP , proceeding of any kind. Mr. GORDON did not know how the House:ID::1 proceed in this case without the evidence was prim' l although he was not a Member of the Committ should, after the evidence was brought up, move the r ing of it. Sir ROBERT PRICE explained. Mr. BLACKNEY thought that the conduct of t bele turning officer in this case had been highly imprope r i : t e Mr. D.
