This is so far well, but we suspect that there will be some sharp op position to continuing many of the items, for Mr. HUME has stated his determination to re duce them. With all our disposition to view the proposi tion of Lord ALTIIORP in the fairest light, we cannot help thinking that in the present condition of the country, and the reduced price of the necessaries of life, the amount of the several pensions might be reduced one fourth at least; and we are the more confirmed in this opinion by the consideration that, as the parties have no legal right to the continuance of the pensions at all, they can have no equitable right to object to the reduction. Those receiving bounty have no right to make terms. Those who may object to receive three-fourths of pensions to which they have now no right, ought to be at once relieved from the trouble of any further solicitation. Let their portions be placed to the account of any distressed families who have only five shillings per week for the subsistence of eight or ten souls. Towards the conclusion of his speech, Lord AL THOItP stated a circumstance which more than ever endears his MAJESTY to the affections of a loyal people. At the com• mencement of a new reign it is always usual to grant a sum of 50,0001. for the outfit of the QUEEN, but the KING, with characteristic benevolence and true Royal spirit, spurned the gift ! When the several items of the Civil List comes to be discussed there will be of course some further reductions made, and Lord ALTHORP and his MAJESTY'S Ministers deserve well of the country for having sub mitted the Civil List to a Select Com mittee for its special scrutiny and revi sion. It was on this rock that the WEL LINGTON Administration foundered. The pre sent Ministers have only to be honest and the country will support them. Measures not men—good intentions and better endeavours— these are what the people want—and all these we hope to see realized in a reformed Parlia ment, but not before. Honest Ministers and a corrupt Parliament are totally irreconcileable things. We learn from the concurrent testimony of all parties, from the Tory as well as the Whig Journals, that Mr. PADDISON'S speech at the late Lincoln Reform Meeting made a very ex traordinary impression on his audience. So excited, indeed, were his hearers, that at the conclusion of his eloquent harangue, they rose to a man and gave him three distinct cheers ! Had this display of popular feeling occurred in Ireland, we should have thought little of it ; but here it is a different matter. A respectable English assembly is proverbially slow to be pleased, and difficult to be kindled into animation, and it must be some thing very much out of the common way indeed that can at all rouse their enthusiasm. Mr. PADDISON'S speech, however, achieved this novel triumph, and singularly enough, not by an appeal to the passions, but to the judgment, the cool unbiassed judgment, of his hearers.— He proved the necessity of Reform, by a series of the most convincing arguments we ever read ; and the common sense of the Meeting at once acknowledged, almost, as it were, in spite of themselves, that he was right. We have great respect for an orator who, having the power to inflame the passions of his hearers, prefers rather to appeal to their reason, and digs in the quarry of good sense for the enduring materials of his eloquence.

The array of names is, we hear, without parallel for ex. tent, splendour, and variety ; and the subjects of the epistles, are, in most cases, of great interest. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY). COURT OF KING'S BENCH. HORSE WARRANTY v —PAUL, ESQ. V. HARDWICIC. Sir JAMES SCA RL ETT (with whom was Mr. PLATT) stated that the plaintiff in this case was a banker, in the Strand, and the plaintiff a horse-dealer ; and the action was brought to recover the sum of 4.81. on the warranty of a horse. It appeared from the Learned Counsel's statement that Mr. Paul, on the,3d of July, purchased of the de fendant a bay gelding for the suns of 65/. ; the defendant at the time of the sale gave a warranty that the horse was sound and free from vice. No sooner, however, had he ben put into the plaintiff's stable than he began " crib bitiug" most furiously ; in consequence of which Mr. Paul sent him back to the defendant, who refused to take him in, and in a few days afterwards he was put up for sale at Mr. Tattersall's, when the defendant became the purchaser for the sum of 26 guineas, which, after the expenses had been deducted, left 23/. 19s. 6d., which was paid to the plaintiff, and the present action wps brought to recover the difference between that sum and. 651. Now, said Sir James Scarlett, the question for you, Gentlemen of the Jury, to decide is, whether or not " crib biting" is a vice in a horse, and to enable you se to do I will read the definition of the word from Dr. R ees , Cyclopwilia :—" Crib-biting, a vice in horses difficult to break. Attempts have been made to cure it by cutting off part of the tongue—(Lord TENTERDEN—A very humane mode)—other remedies have also been tried, but they generally proved ineffectual." The Learned Counsel continued, and said he was aware that in a war ranty for unsoundness vice was not sufficient, but here there was a warranty that the horse was not vicious. He should be able to prove that the horse was a Confirmed crib-biter ; that crib biting was a vice ; and then he should be entitled to a verdict. The following witnesses were then called : Wm. Ilearn—For several years I drove the Bristol coach, and have been acquainted with horses all my life. I saw the horse in question brought into Mr. Paul's stable. He began crib-biting pretty sharply.—(Laughter.) Mr. PLATT—Did you put the harness out of his way? Witness—Yes, or it would soon have been all gone ; bless your life he'll eat any thing.—(Great laughter.) Mr. PLATT—Did he appear a confirmed crib-biter ? • Witness—Oh yes, a staunch old hand. Several other witnesses were then called, who proved the purchase and warranty. The defendant being ap plied to to take the horse back, his refusal, and its sub sequently being sold at Tattersall's. Mr. Sewell examined—l am a veterinary-surgeon and a member of the College. I consider crib-biting a vicious habit, and treat it as a disease. It brings on indigestion and a variety of other complaints. Cross-examined—lt is curable in its early stages. Mr. Clarke examined—l have been a veterinary-sur geon forty years. I consider crib-biting as one of the worst of vices attached to a horse. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury at great length fur the defendant, and contended that crib-biting was not such a vice as entitled the plaintiff to recover. Dr. Rees could not be taken as gospel authority in such cases, he said that it often brought on indigestion, but God forbid, said the Learned Counsel, that all of us who are troubled with indigestion should be pronounced vicious. A great number of witnesses were called, who gave it as their opinion that the " crib-biting" could not be de- nominated a vice. Sir JAMES SCAKLETT replied, and Lord TENTERDEN was about to sum up to the Jury, when they interposed and expressed themselves satisfied, and immediately re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. ARCHES COURT. JUDGMENT.IIEWIT V. HEWIT. This was a suit promoted by the wife against the hus band, for a divorce, on the ground of cruelty. The par ties were married in November, 1824, at St. Andrew's' Holborn; they went to live in Hatton-garden, where the husband treated his wife exceedingly ill, locking her up in a garret, and paying no attention to her wants. From this she was removed to Crofton-hall, Kent, and the same ill treatment continued ; and was afterwards suddenly taken to Boulogne, she being then in the family way.— There she was confined of twins, without any adequate assistance, the husband still treating her harshly. The day afterwards she was left by her hmbind, wholly des titute, and was maintained by the British Ambassador, till her friends were informed of her situation, and she was brought to England by her brother. The COURT particularly dwelt, in giving judgment, on the conduct of the defendant in leaving his wife when she was confined ; and having gone through the facts of the case, granted the prayer of the wife, and ordered the pay ment of a permanent alimony of 1201. a year, with 80/. a year during the suit.—The Court then adjourned.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T LTE CLOCK. Owing to the boisterous weather last night we are with out arrivals, not even a single ship letter has come to hand.

Mr. Hunt's speech relating to the above subject is in general admired for its plain truth, hu manity, and sound logic. In the Funds little or nothing is doing at present.

SIR,—In your Paper of the 31st of Janu ar y y ou sa y that " the people of Bristol have set a nobl e exam pl e t o countrymenin the West of E ng l an d , w hi ch you will be duly appreciat e d an d acted upon. " NFORr, ENGLAND ne eded Sir, you may not b e aware, that the WEST O have their no doubt ne eded not the ta r d y " example " of the E CITY OF BRISTOL to instruct it in its duty. During the last twenty years (in times, when Reformers were much more rare, and much less popular than now, in this eleventh hour,) the counties of Devon and Cornwall have repeatedly assembled to raise their voices against the abominations of the borough system. In Cornwall,-- despite all its boroughs and borough proprietors—there have been not less than ten COUNTY MEETINGS within that period, at all of which petitions have been carried (in many instances, unanimously) for a Reform in the repre sentation of the people. In mercy, therefore, in common justice, Sir, spare the freemen of Devonshire and Cornwall from the mor tification of being supposed to follow in the train of the supporters of Baillie and Hart Davies,--lof the men who, only fi ve months ago, rejected Mr. Protiieroe for no other reason than because, in common with other Chris tians, he had expressed his hostility to the present system of West India slavery ! I remain, Sir, Your constant reader and friend, A FREEHOLDER OF THE WEST. P.S. The last meeting of the county of Cornwall to petition for Reform was held at 13odinin on the 19th of J anu ary—the first meeting at Bristol was on the 21st day of the tonic month. Feb. 2, 1831. fWe insert this letter as an act of justice to our corre dpoadent, who, however, is under an error if he supposes we ever intended to throw a slur on the activity of the West of England in the cause of Reform. Such an idea never entered our minds for an instant.)—En. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS FOR THE PRESENT WEEK.

The Spanish Minister had an interview with Viscount Pal merston yesterday at the Foreign Office. A deputation of merchants interested in the trade to the Netherlands had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Treasury. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office, from Sir Fred er i c k Ad am, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. Also from the Honourable General Ponsonby, the Lieutenant -Governor of Malta, and Sir G. Don, the Lieu. tenant-Governor of Gibraltar. Mr. Charles Grant had an interview yesterday with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer at the Treasury. The Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas trans acted business yesterday at the Office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The Lord Chancellor entertained a party of Members of the House of Peers, including several of the Cabinet Ministers, at dinner on Thursday evening, at his residence in Berkeley-square BRIGHTON, FEB. 4. Their Majesties gave a splendid juvenile ball last night at the Pavilion, at which 414 persons were present. The interest ex. cited by this entertainment, amongst the younger branches of so ciety, has not been less ardent than the grand ball on Friday last generally produced. Most of the Nobility and Gentry of Brighton were present with the families. The entertainment was con ducted on the same scale of splendour and magnificence as on the last occasion. The suite of state rooms were brilliantly illumi nated. The floor of the ball-room (the grand music room) was chalked ; a temporary orchestra was erected, and covered with crimson cloth. The music was under the directicn of Ourie. The dancing under Mr. Michen. The company began to arrive at seven o'clock, and about eight their Majesties, accompanied by the Duke of Sussex, the Land gravine of Hesse Homburg, the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Cumberland, Prince George of Cumberland, Prince George of Cambridge, the Duke of Devon s hi re, as L ord Chamberlain, Lord Howe, ir Andrew Barnard, and a numerous suite, pro ceeded to the ball room, when dancing immediately commenced, and was kept up with unbounded spirit until twelve o'clock, when their Majesties, &c., retired to the banqueting room, where a superb supper was served. After which, dancing was re sumed for some time. Their Majesties withdrew at one o'clock. At two the Pavilion was closed, the company having all departed by that hour. Their Majesties' condescending kindness and urbanity is the theme of every one. Long will the people of Brighton have to bless her, and our gracious King William, who with the dignity of the Monarch combines themost gentle manners anddisposition. The trade of Brighton has received an impulse by the brilliant round of entertainments which have taken place at the Palace, and where, on all occasions, the protection afforded to native manufacture and produce:has been most sedulously attended to by their Majesties. _ _ His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland took his de parture from the Pavilion yesterday. The Duke of Sussex is considerably relieved from his late cold. Their Majesties' dinner party yesterday was quite select, and was served up at five o'clock. Lord Hill has arrived. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your Paper of Wednesday evening, under the head " Insolvent Debtors' Court," it is stated, amongst other things, that the average casts incurred by each insolvent in obtaining his discharge amounts to 251.—this is a mistake—a great number do not incur an expence exceeding 4/. or 51.—more than half of them do not exceed 10/. and a very few, indeed, exceed 201. or 251.—50 that instead of the average being2sl., it does not amount to more than 101. or 121. It is also stated that the Commissioners' salaries amount to 11,0001. Now the fact is, that instead of 11,0001., the salaries of the four Commissioners do not exceed 6,5001. , . and the whole expence of the establishment, incl u di ng traveling expences of the Commissioners and Officers of the Court, &c. &c. does not amount to more than about 11,0001., which is probably what you meant to convey, though you, in error, call it the salaries of the Commissioners. That the above is perfectly well known to be correct by Mr. Hume and other Members of the House of Commons, I have no doubt, but the public generally is not so well informed upon the subject. I therefore think you will but be doing justice in con tradicting your previous statement, when you shall have ascer tained that my information is correct. 8, Lyons Inn, Your obedient servant, GEORGE CLARK.

On Monday last, about one o'clock, a melancholy acci dent happened at Foleshill, near this city, to six unfor tunate young persons, including one female, whilst in the act of sliding on a pit that was frozen. A number of boys, young men, and two young women, in all amounting to eight, assembled at the above hour on a pit known by the name of Hayes's Pit, in a geld about three hundred yards from' Birche's Bridge, for the purpose of sliding. They had not, however, been long engaged in the amusement when unhappily it proved fatal to six of them. The fol lowing are the particulars connected with the lamental.le accident:— Four of the party started from one end of the pit, with the intention of sliding to the extremity, and having suc ceeded in so doing, they stopped where the slide termi nated, for a few moments; the remaining five, who were at the place of starting, instantly followed, but had no sooner reached the end where the four were resting, than the ice broke from under them, and they were precipitated into the water. Two young women, who were look ing on_from the bank of the pit, on seeing the on. fortunate occurrence, immediately ran off and raised an alarm ; the first person who came to the spot was a young man, named Perkins, who with much courage, ind at great personal risk, succeded in rescuing two of the unfortunate party, named Josiah Marriott and Mary Ann North. Marriott, it seems, could swim, and by extraordinary exertion succeeded in raising him self and getting up again on the ice ; having done so, he lay down, and seized the young woman North by the hair of her head ; in this situation Perkins found him, whilst the others were plunging against one another in the water without the least possible means of extricat ing themselves. Perkins now descended the side of the pit, with the intention of getting hold of Marriott; but he no sooner trod on the ice, than it went from under him ; not being, however, far from the bank, the water only reached his middle; lie again got on the ice, and succeeded in grasping hold of Marriott's right hand, while Marriott still upheld with his left hand the young woman. Perkins now attempted to pull Marriott towards the bank, but the ice pre% ented the young woman from following; by this rime Marriott's hand became benumbed with the water, and lie said he could hold no longer, when, by a desperate effort, Perkins succeeded in dragging him on the ice to the bank. the young woman following in the water by his hand. When taken up she appeared lifeless, but having received the necessary attention from Perkins, and others who by this time had arrived, she recovered, and was conveyed home. During Perkins's struggle with Marriott, one of the un ftrtunate sufferers, named Morris, raised his head above the water, and recognizing Perkins, exclaimed with a shriek of despondency, "Oh ! Joe, help me !" he in stantly went down, but came up no more. Drags and ropes were now procured, but the stillness of the water indicated that all exertions had ceased on the part of those who had fallen in. Owing to the ice, and the danger of deseentling on it, it was not until past three o'clock that the bodies were taken out ; four of them were taken to the Navigation Inn, and two of them to the Weaver's Arms. Mr. Home, surgeon, was shortly in attendance, but in none of them could be found the slightest spark of animation. Their tunics and ages are—John Morris, 9 years ; John Watson, 11 ; David Rollason, 13 ; John Orton, 19 ; Thomas Clulow or Tooley, 17; and Elizabeth Shettlewood, 19 ; all weavers and natives of Foleshill, ex cept Elizabeth Shettlewood, who is a native of Stratton up,m-Fosse. On Wednesday, inquisitions were held at the Naviga tion Inn, and the Weavers' Arms, before John Carter, Esq., Coroner, on the respective bodies ; when, after hear ing evidence, V:e Jury returned verdicts of Accidental De ith. Mr. Hume, as surgeon for the county, was in attendance. After the inquest Shettlewood's body was removed to Stretton. Warrants for the interment of the other bodies were issued by the Coroner, and by an agree ment amongst the parents, they were all buried the fol lowing day in one grave, in Foleshill church-yard. When Ministers before Christmas proposed that Parliament should adjourn over the holidays until February, they were reproached by the Opposition for adjourning so long, when there was business of great im portance necessary to be brought before both Houses with all possible dispatch. On Thursday, when Parliament re assembled, and Ministers gave notice of motions of tle highest consideration for March, they were charged by the same party with precipitancy, though they had five weeks during the recess, to digest and mature their plans. So much for the consistency of the Ex-Ministers and their friends.—Morning Advertiser. The Opposition expect, should the Ultra Reformers be of opinion that the Plan of Reform proposed by Ministers falls short of their expectations, that they will express their disappointment by voting with the borough mongers. This, however, is net likely, but should Minis ters be left in a minority on the question by mancsuvring or disgusting coalitions, they are determined to appeal to the people by a dissolution of Parliament in March, im mediately after the Annual Mutiny Bill is passed.-211orez ing Advertiser. DEATH OF MR. HOPE.—THOMAS HOPE, Esq., of Deepdene, the opulent Dutch merchant, and re puted author of " Anastasius, or Memoirs of a Greek," died on Wednesday, at his residence in Duchess-street, Portland-place, at an advanced age. Mr. HOPE was a gentleman of considerable literary attainments, and was favourably known as the author of other publications which enjoyed a celebrity nearly equal to that of Anasta sius. He married in 1806 the Hon. Lours.% BERICSFORD, daughter of the late Lord DEcrEs, Archbishop of Tuam, and sister of the present Peer, by whom he has left a son, Mr. HENRY Hoer, M.P., Groom of the Bedchamber to his late MAJESTY. KING'S THEATRE.—Yesterday there was a full rehearsal of B Barbiere di Seviglia, for the purpose of introducing Madame S. VESPERDIANN. This lady has a very agreeable person, a most powerful voice, extremely high. She is formed upon the school of SONTAG, but without her finish and perfect grace. She was rapturously encored by a number of amateurs and noble patrons of the Opera. DE BEGNIS resumed his original character ; La 'MACRE and CURIONI were in fine voice. In the beautiful ballet of La Somnavibade, Madame MoNTESSU performs the principal character.
