falished et the Union. Ireland may he disturbed from other causes ; but the Reform Bill in its principles, and the course pursued by Government in agitating, besides 'the question of concession, the question of relative pro portions of the representation of the different parts of the empire, which was agitated by the Government altogether unnecessarily—(Herr, hear)—had disarranged—apart ftann the question of the nomination boroughs—all the relations of the empire—was pregnant with mischief, and calculated more directly and immediately than any other caase to produce extensive dissatisfaction and discontent. It is, not in the spirit of hosti:ity, but from the common interest which I take with the Ministers in the welfare of the country, that I implore the Government not to suffer this House to separate for the recess without proclaiming pursue-a-not with vesper:J.: to the the course they mean to i:eliberations on the Reform Bill, but with respect to the proportions they mean to preserve as to the Members for th e different parts of the empire. 1 say nothing of the justice of the proceeding ; but I do fear that the course pursued by the Government—though its propositions may assume the semblance of justice, send though it may be perhaps, resolved at lensrelt to concede—may place an instrument in the hands of those who may use it to strengthen their own popularity, and enable them to command an extent of that proportion after the retees. I say nothing of the justice; but if it ik Intended ulti mately 'to concede, 1 say give say at once.--(Cheers.) As I said before, my opinions are decidedly opposed to the principle of this measure. I expected that the 11finiettrs - would bring in a Reform Bill on their aereptarce of office —but I believe in my conscience that the coteessions made by the Government bare been by I , *t too large, and that it was most unwise to bring in an large a measure of Re form within six weeks After they bad taken office, and while the country was yet agitated by the events of the French Revolution.—(Hear, herr.) It must not he sup posed, as I have stated, that I am ready to support mode rate Reform—that I have listened to any insinuations, and am keeping back until I may find a time to bring forward a moderate plan of Reform, and dispossess the Government. I may be obliged to submit by necessity to a plan of Re form which I cannot successfully oppose, but believing as I do, that the people of this country are grossly deceived —grossly deluded—in their expectations of tho practical benefits they will derive from Reform, I shall not be pre cluded from declaring my opinion, and opposing that Re form as long as I can.---(Cheers from the Opposition benches.) In these days the loss of office is no sacrifice. It is impossible that the possession of it could be of any advantage to me. It may be sought as an object of honourable ambition, but it brings with it fey advantages. I, at least, have no reason to regret the loss of it. I know that my opinions of Reform Cannot be acted upon ; but I feel that the opposition which I offer to this measure will not be fruitless. Believing as I do that this is the first step, not directly t b revolu tion, but to a series of changes which will affect the property, and alter the miattel Constitution of the country ' that it will be fatal to the authority of the House of Lords, and will force on a series of other con cessions, I will oppose it to the last—convinced that, al though my opposition will be unavailing, it will not be fruitless, because the opposition now made will oppose a bar to further concessions hereafter. Were the whole House to join in giving way to the extent now proposed it would have less power to resist future changes, On this ground I stand not opposed to any well-considered Reform—of any Reform of our institutions which the well-being of the country may demand, but opposed to this Reform in our Constitution, because I believe it will lead to the destruction of those ancient institutions for which I have a feeling—founded, perhaps, more upon pre judice than reason—of veneration and respect. But as I am ready to co-operate with others in the introduction of some Reform—and I believe that any Reform can only be effectual just in the proportion that it is temperate, moderate, and toll considered—as I am ready to support such a species of Reform, so will I ever wield whatever power I may possess to oppose the gradual progress of that spirit of democracy to which the lion. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Macauley) thinks we ought to yield ; for if we make those concessions it will only lead to establish the supremacy of that principle. We may, I know, make it supreme—we may be enabled to establish a republic, full, I have no doubt, of energy—slender, I have no doubt, with talent, but fatal to our mixed form of Go vernment, and ultimately destructive of all those usages and beauties which have long preserved to us u large share of peace and prosperity, and have made and preserved this the proudest kingdom in the annals of the world.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) Mr. HUNT, amid loud cries of " Question ;" and the strongest manifestation of impatience, endeavoured to ex plain some part of his conduct at Leeds which had been al luded to in the course of the debate. He re-asserted that this new Bill would not be satisfactory to the labouring classes, because it would not extend to them any new pri vilege. The ;illery was then cleared for a division, and the numbPrs were:— For the second reading 3•'4 Against it .............. Majority in favour of Ministers —l6'2 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday the 20th of .Janu try. It may not be improper to adil that, on the tinnal‘ers being announced, no manif station of feeling took place. On re-entering the gallery we found the CHANCELI.O2 e the EXCHEQUER on his legs, moving " that the House, on rising, do adjourn to Tuesday, the 17th Jan. next." The motion was then put by the SrEAKER,and agreed to. '1 he orders of the day were next disposed of, and some notices of motions given, the particulars of which, from the noise made by Members quitting the House, were not heard in the gallery ; after which the House adjourned at a Quarter past One on Sunday morning.

The Dukes of Lucca, the Princes of TEA urmarrsnonY, HARE ACH, and other personages, have left Prague for Vienna, in consequence of the cholera having broken out in the former city. It appears that we over-stated last Week the number of prisoners for trial at the Assizes. The names contained in the calendar amounted to no more than fifty-three, which is still, however, a lamentable number. --.Brighton Gazette.

The publication of the Observer commenced yesterday morning at the usual time, a quarter past five o'clock, and finished the whole of its large publication before nine o'clock on the Sunday morning. It contained nine folio columns of the debate of Saturday, with the division on the Reform question. A Monday afternoon edition of the Observer, price Sevenpence, is regularly published at 169, Strand, well adapted for the country and to send abroad. The choice of the official assignceships under the new bankrupt law will be made early this week, and excites considerable interest in the city, as the names of some very eminent and leading men among the commercial world appear in the list of candidates. That list is now reduced, by the exceptions introduced into the late circular letter of the Commissioners, from '7OO to about 130 indi viduals. Out of these it is intended to choose 40, whose names will be forwarded, it is supposed, to the LORD CHANCELLOR, to be by him reduced to 30, the number required by for the purposes of the new Bill. The exer tions made and the influence used to obtain these appoint ments have been very great. Much argument was em !Oiled, it seems, to induce the Commissioners to rescin d their determination not to b e stow them on men actually engaged in business ; and, indeed, the propriety of adher ing to that course was strongly questioned by many intel ligent men, but they were inflexibl e on that point. As the Bill comes into operation early in next month, there is not too much time for the gentlemen chosen to prepare themselves for the important duties they have to perform. They will not, it is presumed, disturb any of the arrange ments iu commissions of binkruptcy which have already been issued ; though their assistance will, of course, be available for advice and consultation in cases of difficulty. Tilt CHOLERA AT HULL. Td THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. is with great sorrdw that I write to you, to state a case of real cholera that has appeared in Hull. The man, named Thomas Whitechapel, residing ih No. 7, Roper-street, of rather dissolute habits, is a sailor out of employ, and who left his ship at Sunderland about nine or ten days ago. He was seized at one o'clock r.sf. yesterday With vomiting and purging, accompanied with violent spasms of the muscles of the abdo. men, coldness of the hands and feet, and intense pain in the head. He had caloinel and opium given in large doses every hour, and had hot cloths applied to the abdomen ; but all to no avail, for he died at ten the same night. I remain your most obedient Servant, R. BOTHAM, Member of the College of Surgeons. Hull, Dec. 17. P.S. He had also twenty leeches applied to the head. The case has created considerable alarm in this town. CHOLERA AT NEWCASTLE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE, DEC. 17. The Newcastle Board of Health have at length, by their own CondUct, clearly shown that they have been misrepresent. log the extent of the malignant cholera in this town, as I have more than once charged them with doing. From the 10th to the 15th December inclusive they headed their report " Daily Report of Cases of Spasmodic Cholera." Yesterday and to. day it is changed. It is now headed " Daily Report of Cholera at Newcastle-upon-Tyne " The official report of this day states that there are twenty new cases, seven recoveries, and five deaths, but that nine of the new cases have occurred in the township of Byker—in other words, nine of them are at Dent's Hole. I before observed that the disease appeared to he travelling by the side of the river. As a proof of this, I may state that there are actually at this moment '22 cases in the village of Dent's Hole l Do not imagine they arc all cases of malignant cholera. There are only either one or two bad cases amongst them. The rest, the surgeons themselves say, resemble bilious cholera more than malignant cholera. They have happily been all taken in the beginning, or they might have terminated with the characteristics of the more formi dable disease. The '22 patients, with one or two exceptions, have not the cold stage : they have occasional shiverings, but the skin is hot; they have purging and vomiting, with sick. ness, head-ache, &c. Two persons, Mrs. Emmett and Mrs. Stephenson, died it is true on Wednesday or Thursday, at Dent's Hole, with decided symptoms of malignant cholera, and two of the 'persons at present ill have attended upon them. There is one case I believe at St. Peter's, also by the river side, and I have heard of one at Jarrow, and one or two at Hibburn, on the south side of the river, near South Shields. Cases have, I regret to state, appeared in more streets in Newcastle, namely, one in the Wall Knowl, and two in Newgate-street. I did hear there was one in Drury-lane, but that, I believe, will turn out not to be a serious case at all. The two in Newgate street are both females : one an old woman, of the name of Armstrong, who has bad symptoms, and whose recovery is doubtful; she had diarrhcea for a week, but it was not at tended to. The other is a woman about forty, who went into Sandgate, the worst street, to the house in which her niece had just died of the cholera. There is, I repeat, a disposition very improperly to make every case malignant cholera. The Newcastle Board of Health give the public to believe, by their statement of this day, that there have been from the 7th to the 17th of December, 94 persons attacked by spasmodic cholera. I do not believe, including the two cases at North Shields, the eases at NeweaStle, and by the river side, there have been altogether twenty cases of malignant cholera. There are, no doubt, thirty-four deaths-in that interval, most of them sudden deaths, and perhaps even the majority of them by malig nant cholera. The disease is here, but there is nothing ter rific in the number it has attacked, in the sort of people it has attacked, or in the places where they have been attacked. DREADFUL EXPLOSION IN A COAL MINE NEAR WIGAN. TWENTY-EIGHT LIVES LOST. (Communicated by Mr. Edward Stanley, Land and Mine Surveyor.) On Thursday evening last, at five o'clock, one of those explo sions of inflammable gas, which of late have so often been at tended with great sacrifice of human life, took place in the col liery of Messrs. Woodcock and Halliburton, at Kit-green. The pit in which the accident occurred is known by the name of the " New Engine Pit." It is of unusual depth, and from the circumstance of the workings being intersected by several faults or breaks, is particularly favourable to the accu mulation of inflammable gas. The depth of the shaft or pit is :14,5 yards; from thence a descent by an inclined plane takes the workmen to the coal. The perpendicular to this hypothenuse is 170 yards, making a total depth from the surface to the coal of 1,245 feet. The report of the explosion was terrifically loud, and heard in the township of Adlington, a distance of eight miles. As regards the immediate cause of the accident, little can be said with certainty. From personal inquiry on the spot, and information kindly afforded by Mr. John Woodcock, it ap pears that the underlooker of the pit, and his assistant, were in the colliery examining it, and making some measurements, when both had returned to the bottom of the pit. The infor mation of a person who ascended prior to the explosion, shews that the assistant underlooker, and one of the men, re-entered the workings, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of the air in a particular part of the mine. From this circum stance it is presumed that they have been the cause of the ac cident. A general summary of the loss of life shews, that eleven widows and forty-two children are left to deplore the loss of their husbands and fathers. The number of men and boys are 2O Women and girls Making the total of The accident is in no wise attributable to any negligence on the part of the owners or the deceased underlooker, John Williams, as the circulation of pure air was abundant, had it not been overpowered by an instantaneous rush of inflammable air from the old workings. The deceased underlooker, during the course of a conversation a fortnight ago with the writer of this narrative, declared his confidence in the free ventilation of the works, and the facilities afforded him by his employers for carrying into effect every means that could be devised for the safety of the workmen. In confirmation of the above fact it may be stated, that during a period of forty years has Mr. Halliburton's attention been directed to the grand deside ratum of ridding coal.mines of this dreadful foe to the collier. Of late the dangers and hardships of this adventurous class of men have been advocated in a paper that has appeared in that popular work, the Mechanics' Magazine. It is there shewn, in the person of Mr. Ryan, that individual exertion, even in the cause of science and humanity, was overthrown by the narrow minded prejudices and jealousies of a few interested managers at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who had no wish to see their own talents eclipsed, when he solicited a trial to clear the mines of inflammable gas. In the last number of the work referred to, Mr. Ryan's plan is given to the public, and ought to be re. published by every paper that has circulation in the mining districts. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY. JUDGMENT.-SHADWELL v. STEWART. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case to-day, in which it will be recollected the bill was filed for the purpose of setting aside two deeds obtained from a lady named Letitia Shadwell, whom the bill charged was in a de ranged state of mind at the time of the transaction. His Honour decreed the setting of the deeds, and ordered an account to be taken of the money that had been expended by the de fendant for the use of Letitia Shadwell, but in taking that ac count the Master was not to have regard to any sums of money expended in any other way than in board and lodging and the other necessaries of life. His Honour also ordered all the de fendants to pay the costs of the suit. 17th December, ENGLAND. Adeane, H. J.—Cambridgesh. Althorp, Vis.—Northamptonsh.

We regret to learn, by a communication in an. other column, that the cholera has appeared at Hull The second reading of the Reform Bill was passed on Saturday night (or rather on Sunday morning) in the House of Commons, by a majority of 324 to 162, being a majority of just two to one in favour of the Bill. The debate throughout was animated and interesting, and less tinged with rancorous party venom than usual. Sir R. INGLIS opened the dis cussion, and insisted that if the Bill passed it would make the House of Commons the repository of the entire democracy of the country, an innovation which he strenuously deprecated. Mr. S. WORTLEY also opposed the Bill, whence we conclude that his father, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, has not yet become convinced of the imperious necessity of allowing it to pass into law. Sir C. WETHERELL spoke with his usual acrimony against the measure, and was replied to at length by Mr. STANLEY, in one of the most sensible, appropriate,and energetic speeches ever delivered in the House. The Right Hon. Gentleman not only successfully defended the conduct of Mi. sisters against the imputations alleged against them by Sir C. WETHERELL, but demolished point by point all the elaborate sophistry of Mr. J. CROKER, and convinced that Right Hon. Gentleman that his knowledge of history was on a par with his knowledge of classical literature. Sir R. PEEL in a lengthened but not intemperate speech, avowed his continued hostility to Reform, which he depre cated not so much on its own account as because it would be fatal to the prerogatives of the House of Lords, and pave. the way to concessions without number to the democracy, which would have neither reason nor justice to recommend them. The Right lion. Baronet entered at considerable length into details respecting his change of opinion on the Catholic question, and fully convinced the House, as we are sure lie will the country, that as a statesman of spirit, intelligence, and patriotism, he could not have acted otherwise than he did, on that memorable OCCa6iOD. It is clear from the persevering hostility evinced throughout the whole of last week in the House of Commons, that all the efforts at conciliation made by Lord GREY and his colleagues have wholly failed of their effect. They have therefore but one re source left, viz. to create a bufficient number of Peers to enable them to pass the Reform Bill, in spite of all the intrigues and chicanery of the fac tion. This resource should be put into in stant operation. There is no time for delay. As for any further attempt at conciliation, it is evident that the very idea is preposterous. The Lords will a second time reject the Bill—even with the experience of the past before them—unless they be effectually sluiced with new Peers. We hope, therefore, that Ministers will no longer hesitate to adopt that line of conduct, which the vital interests of the country, and their own characters, as States men, imperiously demand. The riot at Kilkenny has occurred in a very op portune moment for the consideration of the Com mittee to whom the important question of the Irish tithes has been referred. Lamentable as it is, it affords a useful illustration of a state of things in which a Christian Minister is forced to despatch a constable and forty policemen, to serve his flock with the process of the law for the recovery of tithes, and in which the policemen are attacked by the multi tude, and many of them barbarously murdered. This 1 6 the result of that scandalous system of injustice with which Ireland has for centuries been misgo verned; and it is, unhappily, only one proof out of thousands of the crimes and outrages to which this odious tithe-system has led. Call any thing be con ceived more inconsistent with the Christian religion, than a troop of policemen going forth to enforce the dues of the parson ? and, that, at a period when the feelings of the people had been known to be gene rally roused to a pitch of excitement against tithes, which must have foretold some such catastrophe as that which has unfortunately happened to the Rev, Dr. HAMILTON'S forces ? We should be sorry to speak lightly of so dreadful a sacrifice of life—but nothing can be plainer than that the blood of the slain is on the head of the tithe-system, and the abettors of that unfailing source of mischief. There are several courses open to the recommen dation of the Committee. The first is to extend, generally, the compositions which have already bee❑ brought into action in some parts of Ireland ;—the second, to throw the tithe upon the landlord, by de claring that the tithe-receipt shall in all cases form a legal deduction from the rent ; the third is, to re deem or commute the tithe wholly, and for ever, and to substitute for it a fairly adjusted provision for the Protestant as well as the Catholic clergy. It would be premature to anticipate the Committee's recommendation, but to suppose that any thing short of a permanent commutation will remedy the evil, is a most delusive hope in those who entertain it. It is contrary to common sense, that a popula tion such as that in the south and west of Ireland, where the Catholics are to the Protestants, as twenty to thirty, and even forty to one, in a parish, can we be at rest till they are fairly rid of this grievous burthen. The impossibility of collecting tithes any longer is now admitted, even by Sir R. PEEL, and the question for the Protestant Churchmen, ought in prudence to be, how they can secure to themselves that decent and respectable maintenance for their establishment, which the Government and the country are desirous should be kept up. The Protestant Law Church is as deeply interested ill the commutation of tithes, as the House of Lords is in the pa4sing of the Reform Bill, for it is the only apparent means whereby its existence can be much longer upheld. That very voluminous document, the Report of the Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Inquiry in Ire land, contains a mass of information, which though not intended to bear directly upon the tithe ques tion, illustrates very strikingly the multifarious abuses to which it has led. The unions of be nefices, under various pretences, has been carried to such an extent, that the Commissioners found, upon inquiry into the sate of the province of Armagh, that there were in it 356 parishes, and that those parishes have been consolidated into 110 Unions of Benefices, so that each incumbent in the province has upon an average more than three parishes for his living ! The proportion of the several Bishoprics in this province is reported as follows : Armagh l5 Unions, consisting of 49 Parishes.. Meath 47 ditto, Derry " 2 ditto, Kihnore...... 6 ditto, Clogher ...... 1 ditto, Dromore..... 5 ditto, Down 7 ditto, C0nn0r........ 18 ditto, Raphoe...... 2 ditto, Ardagh 7 ditto, The Commissioners have recommended that re quisite measures be raker' for dissolving parochial Unions, where practicable,—as well as the disap propriation of benefices from Church dignities,— and other Reforms within the limits of the inquiry confided to them. Let us hope that the Parlia mentary Tithe Committee will equal them in diligence, and surpass them in that comprehensive and bold view of the question, which a Parlia mentary Committee alone is well qualified or -likely to take. On this distressing subject we quote the follow• ing observations from the Kilkenny Journal o Saturday last, and which being on the spot has give' the full particulars of the calamitous scene : " HO ItRIBLECONSEQUENCES OF THE TITHE SYSTEM. " In another part of this day's Journal, we perform the melan choly duty of laying before the public the details, so far as known, of the death of sixteen human beings, originating in an oppo sition to the enforcement of Parson Hamilton's tithes. On Wednesday next, we shall endeavour to give a short historical sketch of the circumstances which gave rise to this tragedy, by detailing the several transactions which have taken place be tween his Bible-reading, money-loving Reverence, and his parishioners since the period of the hurling meetings ; but we shall dismiss him as much as possible from our recollection even for the present. Is even this transaction,we ask, decisive of the fate of tithes? Will the Government and Legislature persist in leaving the lives of the people and of the civil power exposed, for the sake of pre serving a horrid system, which every disinterested man in every part of the empire abhors and contemns ? Can the opinion be e ntertained that any t a x o r i m p os t ca n be continued, when once it requires gener a lly th e a id o f th e b a y o n e t t o co ll e ct it? Or, will we be told th a t it i s no t pure d espo ti sm t o p ers i s t in the levy. ing of any tax, wh en th e p eo pl e gen e rally declare against it, in r country where the first principle of the Constitution is that in man can be tax e d w ith ou t hi s ow n con s ent ? Few men,webelievc are now so ig noran t, or so prejudiced, as to uphold sec. opinions ; and, if among those few there be one member of thi Government or Legislature through whose influence the. settle ment of the tithe question shall be an hour delayed, to that man We say on your head be the consequences which may hereafter ensue. It will be seen by our report of the careless inquest of twenty minutes, what the police version of thi story is. It will also be seen how different are th statements of the two police witnesses. The one swear that the firing took place in the front, the other that it tool place in the rear. The one swore that the process-serves was knocked down ; the other agrees with the people, and swears that instead of being knocked down, an attempt was made to drag him from among the police. Thr one swears that an immensity, and the other that too, stones were thrown. The one swears that eighteen police were knocked down before any firing took place; the other ventures not to swear at all on this point. The second witness agrees in almost all the material points on which he gave testimony with the vcr sion of the story believed in by all parties previous to the inquest and which we also give. Without meaning to impeaci the veracity of the first witness, we may, therefore, has our doubts of the accuracy of his statement,—at least the pubi will be very apt to conclude that the confusion of the momei drove the regular order in which the circumstances occurre from his recollection, and that, of course, without meaning an, thing wrong, in bringing them to mind afterwards he made slight mistake, and said that the police were killed belie the firing commenced. This is, indeed, the only point which his account differs much from that on the othi side. We regret to say that the slovenly and very !lasi manner in which the inquest was conducted, was not ca ciliated to bring all the facts before the public, or to dissipate th doubt which the different stories given even by the witness( were calculated to raise. " The inquest was badly attended by magistrates; negligent got up ; and hurriedly conducted. All the public are likely knew is that Doctor Hamilton's tithes were the remote cause 16 lives having been lost, while the immediate causes which to that frightful and deplorable catastrophe remain enveloped in SUN OFFICE, 112, STRAW), Low n w s e uc e h an d e ou n b ly t e a a n p d re s ss ic e e u rt i ai : n w t i y sh ; t a e nd be , u m n a d d e e r a t e h g e u s a e i c r ! t r ed c ti . ,,not . .:..,',, , ~ , 0t ,. ,..1‘11_1.„..ad..,,e,.,..._4_, EAST j HE CC facts which caine out at the private investigation, . ,s, 4,, 5 , - ' sirs I'L Lord Lieutenant, and most of the magistracy of the cone . ; uLlicta'A i S not open to all, like that which took place before the , . • ass., lawyers, at Newtown-barry." - 1 44, - " ' ' ''',,, , t - a QUA The following are extracts from German and i • * a reet nn I Papers.
