United Service Gazette. Lord and Lady Ravensworth, after having paid a visit to their Noble relatives the Earl and Countess of Mul grave, at Mulgrave Castle, arrived at their seat, Ravensworth Castle, on Saturday se'nnight. The bells of Gateshead Church rung a merry peal on the occasion. Yesterday morning Lord and Lady Holland left town for Pansanger, Hens, the seat of Earl Cowper, where Lord Melbourne has been also on a visit. Lord and Lady Hol land are expected to return this day to Holland House. Yesterday the. General Steam-navigation Company's mail packet, the City of Hamburg; from Hamburg, arrived off the Custom-house at 4 o'cloc k, p.m. also the Attwood, from Antwerp, two hours previous. The Rev. Edmund Squire, Head Master of Fel stead Classical School, has been presented by Lord Holland to the Rectory of Ashen, Essex, vacant by the death of the Rev. Richard Yates, D.D. The late Hull Musical Festival has proved a disas trous failure to the managing parties. The expenses exceeded the receipts by upwards of 700/. THE PRINCE OF ORANGE.--The Gazette of Augsburg has a letter from the Hague, which speaks of the young Prince of Orange's journey to St. Petersburgh and to L-ndon. His visiting England has led to conjectures of the Court of the Hague being reconciled to that of St. James's, now that Lord Grey has retired, whom the King of Holland considered to be the enemy of his dynasty. l'AnmouTif, ISLE OF WIGHT, OCT. 11.—The Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's, Countess of Guildford, two Ladies North, Lady Dashwood King, and a suite of thirty persons, visited Yarmouth on Monday last. They proceed;cl to the church to see Cibber's splendid monument of Sir Robert Holmes, which was, built for the reception of his Grace's Royal Ancestor, Charles 11. Her Grace bought se veral specimens of beautiful glass, manufactured from the Alum Bay sand, which is shipped in great quantities from Yarmouth, and did not forget her bounty to the poor water men of the place. BROADSTAIRS.—The ball and supper at the As sembly Rooms at this place, on Tuesday last, attracted nearly all the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, with a great many visitors. It is said that the salubrity of the air is such that the number of aged persons living in Broadstairs and St. Peter's exceeds that of any other place in the country for the size. A correspondent who, has addressed us upon this sub ject, states " that the three last Vicars of the parish resided 105 years at the vicarage, and when they died the average age of each was 70." ELECTION OF CORONER FOR SHROPSHIRE. — After a contest of unprecedented severity, Mr. Downes, the Whig candidate, has been elected coroner; defeating his op ponent Mr. Hart, who was strenuously supported by all the Tory aristocracy of the county, by a majority of 192. A sub saiption on behalf of Mr. Downes was commenced on Mon day, by Sir E. Smythe, Bart., with 100/., followed by Mr. Slaney, M.P., with 501. The Secretary at War has been entertaining some distinguished visitants at his shooting quarters in Inverness shire. Among them are the Earl and Countess of Durham, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Capt. Gordon, Captain Balfour, &c. It is said that something unpleasant has occurred in a family of distinction, which threatens a "break up" of the establishment. We know no particulars, and merely repeat a report in circulation, without being able either to state the facts, or decide upon its authenticity.—Morning Paper. Mr. Gillon has been rendering an account of his stewardship to the constituency of the Falkirk burghs ; to whom his independent conduct in Parliament seems to have affjrded great satisfaction. Mr. Wordsworth has a volume of new poems in the Press. At this stagnant period of our poetical literature we hail the re-appearance of this delightful and sensitive poet. WINCHESTER, OCT. ll.—The Lord Bishop of Winchester has held a Confirmation at Poole, Wareham, Dorchester, and other places in Dorsetshire. DINNER TO LORD DURFIAM.—There are some curious coincidences connected with the Grey and Durham dinners, which would seem to point out a remarkable pater nity of feeling betwixt the Scottish capitals of the East and West. Edinburgh had not a hall large enough for her ban quet ; neither has Glasgow for hers. The one built a pavi lion to accommodate the guests, the other intends to do the same. The erection here was placed in the High School Yards ; the one at Glasgow is to be built on similar ground. Our architect was named Hamilton; the Glaswegians have got a Hamilton for their architect too I Our pavilion was crowded ;it is expected theirs will be the same. Our trades walked in procession ; theirs are to process also ; and had the Western ticket been a guinea in place of 10s. 6d. the two festivals would have been every way alike in outward circum stances.—Edinburgh Chronicle. We are enabled to state, in the most positive terms, that the allusions of a Morning Contemporary on Friday last , relative to the position of a Joint-stock Banking Company with their London Correspondent, is not founded in fact. We are not, and never have been, the thick-and-thin advocates of every or all kinds of Joint-stock Banking Societies—yet it is our duty to correct any unguarded statements that may affect public credit. We have every reason to feel authorised in stating, that the paid-up capital of the concern alluded to, and the present amount of the deposits, are so large, that we feel there is no warranty for the slightest doubt of its stability. We believe the rumour to which we have referred originated in some disputed point of form between the Bank and the par ties they drew on here. —Morning Paper. We have been told by well-informed parties, and yet fain would doubt the information, that the Bank of Eng land have resolved to close the accounts of all joint-stock banks who are now, or may become banks of issue ; two or three days will solve the fact. If it should so prove, it will be our duty to reprobate a grasping spirit of monopoly which could only be created by the influence of Peel's Bill. But supposing the Bank of England to be so imprudent, where would it be if the principal joint-stock banks were to unite in a demand for gold ? We will not hint at the awful position of the country under such circumstances. Money, although it continues in demand, is not so difficult to be obtained where confidence can be placed : and it will be seen from our quota tions that the British Funds continue very firm. The advices from Madrid to-day, so amply detailed in this journal, have had the effect, coupled with its remarks, of opening the eyes of the dupes of the Spanish robbery, for in no other terms can the financial juggle of Spain be designated ; indeed it has created the utmost indignation here. It is the opinion of the most respectable men, that if the new loan is attempted to be brought out in London, no members of the Stock Exchange who value their characters, or have any character left, will dis grace themselves by writing for the Scrip.—Morning Paper. CONSTABULARY BEDDING.—The Commissariat Department has recently issued a supply of horse-hair for the bedding of the Irish police, to be substituted in the place of straw. It is estimated that a great pecuniary saving will re sult from this arrangement. We understand that the expense of straw has hitherto been 2s. per man annually. The hair which has been recently issued has cost Bs. 111 d. per man, but it may be considered imperishable. Thus, by means of an expenditure at once of something less than the price of straw for four years and a half, a saving will be annually made, after the expiration of that period, of from 700/. to 800/. per annum. It is supposed, also, that the ticking. when stuffed with hair, will last much longer than when filled with straw. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 11.—Southampton Water, which, it has been remarked, has been rather scarce of fish for the last few years, now abounds with them, particularly bass and mullet. This we attribute to a due compliance with the Act prohibiting the use of nets with the mesh under a certain size. A match of cricket was played on Peartree green on Monday last between eleven of . Itehen, Bitterne, Sholing, &c., and eleven members of the Odd Fellows So ciety, Southampton, to whom the challenge was given, and in whose favour the match was decided, the Odd Fellows beating the union by nine wickets. The Tory papers are wondering whether the Pre mier will overlook the just claim of the Speaker's Chaplain, by again superseding him. The former cccasion was, when the Bishop of Hereford obtained the stall at Westminster, and Mr. Wood Canterbury. The appointment to which they think lie has now a claim, is that of the vacant stall at Windsor ; but surely they must know that the stalls at Windsor are at the sole disposal of the King, and that the tenure of the canons depends entirely upon the sic volo or sic jubeo of his Majesty, who can even remove the Dean or any canon at his pleasure. The Dean of Hereford—the excellent and exemplary Dr. Mereweather—it is supposed, will succeed Dr. Stanier Clarke. From accounts dated Lima, the 28th of May, it ap-. pears that the ex-President, Gamarra, was about to declare the three southern departments of Peru a separate Republic, of which Cusco would be the capital city. To prevent this plan from taking effect, President Obregoso was on t he march from Lima with the main body of the forces, while General Miller was embarking in a brig of war, with a chosen detach ment, to land at Chala, and, recruiting as he went along, to operate against Arequipa. From the tenour of these accounts it appears that the scarcity of firm, able, and honest men in the Government is likely to keep Peru in a state of commo tion for a long time, as no sooner is one emeute put down than another breaks out elsewhere, and great injury is done to the property and respectability of the country. On the whole, however, except along the actual line of civil warfare, a per ceptible improvement is said to be taking place in the con dition of the people. THE LATE FIRE IN LAWRENCE POUNTNEY LANE.—The loss by this destructive fire is estimated to be about 20,0001. Besides the warehouses of Messrs. Henry Powell and Company., which were totally destroyed, there were from seven to eight adjacent houses, with the furniture therein, more or less damagled. The fire originated, it is said, as follows :—A workmaui, in attempting to draw forth a bung from a cask of turpentine, found it necessary to put his whole strength, when the bung suddenly came out, and he fell back wards, knocking down in his fall a lamp, when the turpentine ignited. A THE SUN, LONDON, TIT L'ROPERTY IN ENGLISH COPYRIGHTS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The notice in a late number of your Journal of the infringement of property in English copyrights, and of the injunction obtained by Mr. Bentley, the pubrsher, against one of the dealers in fraudulent editions of his publications, having interested me as a bookseller, I was induced to examine the Act of Parliament you referred to, and my surprise at the importation of the surreptitious cDpies is in creased on finding that such importation is, unckr any cir cumstances, " absolutely prohibited." These are the very words of the Act, according to which the mere attempt to import them insure their forfeiture. No duty will enable them to pass. By what oversight then, or what trick, can these " absolutely prohibited" articles find their way into our country to the serious injury of the fair English trader ? The affair, at any rate, demands investigation on public grounds. If the Government establishes laws for the pro tection of native industry and property, the authorities are bound to ascertain why such laws are not respected. The question is, at least, as much between the authorities and the wrong-doers as between the injured party and the frau dulent dealer. The law is violated, when the law should be enforced.—l am, sir, your constant Reader, A BOOKSELLER. Pa`ernoster-row, Oct. 13. SDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1834. LORD BROUGHAM. Lord Chancellor Brougham passed through Portsmouth on Monday, on his way from Chichester to the Isle of Wight. Having expressed a wish to visit the literary and scientific institutions of the town, on his return on Wednes day, the members of the Philosophical Society assembled at eight in the morning, to receive his Lordship, and elect him an honorary member. After inspecting the Dock-yard, going on board the flag-ship, and then paying a visit to the Mechanics' Institute, he proceeded to the Philosophical In stitution, and on his entrance was welcomed by the plaudits of a crowded assembly of both sexes. The President, Mr. J. W. Williams, in a neat speech, announced to his Lord ship that the Society had, in testimony of admiration of his distinguished zeal in the diffusion of useful knowledge, en rolled his name among its members, which the Lord Chan cellor acknowledged in a short and appropriate address, walked round the museum, then visited the parish church, and shortly afterwards set off for Fareham, whither a depu tation had invited him to attend the opening of a building erected for the promotion of science and literature. VISIT TO THE FAREHAM LITERARY AND PHI- LOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. On Wednesday, deputations from the Institution having previously waited on the Lord Chancellor, that distin guished statesman and scholar honoured Fareham with his presence, where he arrived at twelve o'clock. After par taking of au elegant dejeune at the house of the Rev. Sir Henry Thompson, Bart., in company with the Vice-Presi dents, and officers of the Society, together with several of the most distinguished inhabitants of the town, his Lordship walked with the President to the New Hall, where, at his entrance, he was greeted with the hearty cheers of the po pulace. A highly respectable and crowded audience, con sisting of more than 500 individuals, received his Lordship with the most flattering testimony of respect. The President having assumed the Chair, with the Lord Chancellor on his right, and surrounded by the Vice- Presidents and officers of the Institution, then addressed his Lordship at some length, and concluded thus :—To my friends before me, I now officially announce with the pride which as their President I naturally feel, that we may henceforth claim as our associate, th 3 Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. The Lord Chancellor then rose and replied as follows : Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,—l can hardly express the pleasure I felt at meeting you and the other members and friends of the Fareham Institution. on this most interesting occasion. lam filled with astonishment when I think of the progress your Institution has made ; in the whole course of my experience I have never met with a similar instance, and I think very few instances, if any, can be found, in which like success has attended similar undertakings—that this society should have been esta blished on so extensive a basis, and this beautiful and com modious Hall erected in a less period than a year, I be lieve, indeed, not more than nine months. I have, during this journey, for the first time visited the southern parts of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and I have learnt that literature in general flourishes in these parts, perhaps in a greater ratio than in any corresponding population in the kingdom. I has:e also this morning been on board the ship Victory, and saw the spot where Nelson,the most illus trious of our naval heroes, received his mortal wound. The celebrated naval arsenal of our country, Portsmouth, claimed my particular observation, where I saw much to remind me of the zealous preparations made there during the long and triumphant war that was waged against the enemies of our country. I am no friend to war, and consider it as the great est scourge that can afflict a country, though, should our nation's honour, or our self-defence require it, neither our courage nor our means would be found wanting ; yet, Sir, I found at Portsmouth the most active preparations going on for another campaign, but it was the campaign of know ledge against ignorance. Here a few enemies might still be found, but the diffusion of information will soon vanquish prejudice, and drive every enemy of knowledge from the field. In the town of Fareham I see you emulating your neighbours of PoUsmouth, and making the same zealous preparations, and I most cordially accept the honour of be ing enrolled among the members of t his Institution."— Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS then moved, and Admiral OMMANNEY seconded, " That the most cordial thanks of the Fareham Institution be offered to his Lordship," which was carried by acclarnation. His Lordship then departed amidst the cheers of the people, and the meeting adjourned. -Hampshire Advertiser. CIRCULAR FROM THE POOR LAW COMMISSIONERS. • The following circular has been issued from the Central Board of the Poor Law Commissioners Office of the Poor Law Commissioners for England and Wales, Oct. 6, 1834. " The Commissioners of Poor Laws for England and Wales, on the 4th of September last, directed a letter to be addressed to the churchwardens and overseers of the poor throughout England and Wales, in which letter the Commissioners pointed out to the parish officers that it was their duty to continue to administer the existing laws for the relief of the poor of the parish or place for which they act ; and that, subject to the provisions of the Poor Law Amendment Act, the general transactions of parochial bu siness should (with strict attention to economy, and as far as the same is authorised by law) be continued in the ac customed course until the rules, orders, and regulations, which the Commissioners are authorised to make, shall have been duly prepared and promulgated.' " The Commissioners have been informed that in many parts of the country erroneous opinions prevail with respect to the actual state of the existing laws, particularly in rela tion to the powers which Magistrates may still exercise in ordering parochial relief. " The Commissioners think it expedient, therefore, to point out, that the Acts of 3 William and Mary, c. 11, and 9 Geo. I, c. 7, are not repealed, and that these Acts still authorise Justices of the Peace to exercise a controul over the overseers in the administration of relief to the poor. But ibis controul can now be exercised only in parishes in Which there is no Board of Guardians, no Select Vestry, or other similar body, constituted under any local or gene- ral Act. " By the 3d and 4th Wm. and Mary, c. 11., one Magis trate has the power of ordering a pauper's name to be placed on the book which contains the list of those who are to be relieved by the parish, as directed by the statute 43 Eliz. c. 2. It is to be observed, however, that the power that granted to the Magistrate is modified by the Ist sec tl,oooof the 9th Geo. 1., c. 7, in which it is enacted— " That no Justice of the Peace shall order relief to any poor person dwelling in any parish— ]. until oath be made before such Justice of the Peace, of some matter which he shall judge to be reasonable cause or ground for having such relief ; 2. ---" and that the same person had, by himself, her self, or some other, applied for relief to the parishioners, or to two of the overseers of the poor of such parish ; 3. ---" and was by them refused to be relieved ; 4. "And until such Justice hath summoned two of the , to show cause why such relief should oversee rs of the poor not be given ; .5. " and the person so summoned hath been heard or made default to appear before such Justice." " And it is further provided in the second section of the same Act, " that the person whom any such Justice shall think fit to order to be relieved, shall receive relief as long as the cause for such relief continues, and no longer.' "By the 4th section of the same act it is enacted, that in any parish in which a workhouse shall have been provided, if any poor person of such parish shall refuse to be lodged, maintained, and employed in such house, such person so refusing shall be put out of the collection-book, and shall not be entitled to ask or receive any collection or relief from the churchwardens or overseers of the poor of the same parish, township, or place.' " By the 36th Geo. 111., c. 23, the enactments of which were extended and modified by the 55th Geo. 111., c. 137, s. 3, and the 59th Geo. 111., c. 12, s. 5, Magistrates were empowered to order relief to poor persons at their homes, notwithstanding a workhouse had been provided and con tracts entered into for lodging, keeping, maintaining, and employing the poor. But this stat. (36 Geo. 111., c. 23), as well as the above-mentioned sections, by which it was so extended and modified, have been repealed by the Poor Law Amendment Act, and consequently the powers which the Justices derived therefrom have terminated. ".With reference to the parishes in which there is no board of guardians, select vestry, or other similar body con stituted under any local or general act, the parish officers may, until the Commissioners shall issue their rules or orders, adopt all those modes of relieving the poor which they might lawfully have adopted before the passing of the Poor Law Amendment Act. " With respect however to those parishes or unions in which a board of guardians, select vestry, or other similar body, constituted under any local or general Act does ex ist, it is sufficient to refer to the 54th section of the Poor Law Amendment Act, which, for the sake of convenience, is hereto annexed. " By order of the Board, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary." The 54th section of 4 and 5 Will. IV. c. 76. " And be it further enacted, that fro m and after the pass ing of this Act, the ordering, giving a nd directin g of all re lief to the poor of any parish which , accordin g to the pss ro yisions of any of the said recited A cts or of an Act paed in the first and second years of the reign of his present Ma jesty, cntituled, ' An Act for the better reg ulatin g of Ves tries, and for the appointment of Auditors of Accounts in certain parishes in England and Wales,' or of this Act or of any local Acts, shall be under the government and controul of any Guardians of the Poor, or of any select Vestry, and whether forming any part of any Union or I ncor poration or not (but subject in all cases to, and saving and excepting FRENCH PAPER& (From the Messager de Chamhres of Sunday.) PARIS, Ocr. 12.—The following article would be singu larly apropos if it should prove true that, notwithstanding the announcement of the passing of Don Miguel through Lucca, on his return to Rome, this Prince has passed through France incognito, and has entered Spain ; as the Indicateur says— The passage of Don Carlos through France, and his un foreseen entrance into Spain, have given too much opportu nity to laugh at the expense f our Ministers, to suppose that they will expose themselves to a similar unpleasantness with Don Miguel. As it is supposed that the death of Don Pedro may put into his head to return to Portugal, two agents of the high police were dispatched to him, almost a month ago, who were strictly enjoined not to lose sight of him for a mo ment. These agents have orders, if Don Mi g uel should em bark and leave Italy immediately, to dispatch a courier to the Government with the news. All the money that they may want has been placed at their disposal, in order that they may be informed, if it should be necessary, by Don Miguel's own servants, of the resolutions which the dethroned King may take." Extract from the Indicateur of October 10 ; by a private conveyance: — ST. JEAN DE Luz, OCT. 7.—Though the news which I send you is supported only by reports (on Bits) I transmit it to you. Don Miguel, of Portugal, who, a few days ago, was slid to be at Genoa, is stated to have traversed France from the Alps to the Western Pyrenees, and to have entered Spain the day before yesterday (Sunday) in the morning, passing ,hrough St. Pee to Zuramondy, in Spain. The passage from our countries to the neighbouring king -1=1.4 though almost hermetically sealed by the means of the military, the Douaniers, and the Police, is not sufficiently so since persons such as Don Carlos, Don Miguel, and others in the confidence of these two Princes, pass without being perceived. At present I give you this only on the authority of reports, but it is added that these reports are true. The Mayors of the Cantons of St. Jean de Luz, and of Espeletta, having met in our town to-day to revise the lists of recruits for the army, nothing was talked of but this bold journey of the Portuguese Prince, to join his uncle and bro ther-in-law, Don Carlos. BAYONNE, OCT. 7.—1 transmit to you the following note, which I have received from St. Jean de Luz : " I give you, as positive, the news of the entrance of Don Miguel into Spain ; he passed on Saturday through Saint Pee and Sarre, and on Sunday morning was at Urdach. This event, added to the death of his brother, will cause new diffi culties in the affairs of the Peninsula." In confirmation of this news, I know for certain that th di e - rectors of our custom - ho use received, yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the same intelligence from the custom-house cfficers on the extreme frontier, who have orders to make daily (Torts. Don Miguel is supposed to be going to the head quarters of Don Carlos. It was a Carlist chief who came to receive him at Urdach. The Mayor of St. Pee has also just written to General Mugues to announce to him the same news. This is certainly a mystification very little to the taste of our dear and very dear which was already so blind in the case of Doa Carlos. It is not said whether, like him, Don Miguel has passe I through Bayonne. The day before yesterday we had another domi ciliary visit in our city ; but nothing was discovered. There is nothing new in the military operations. The Spanish army, to the number of 10 or 12,000 men, is concentrated at Pampeluna and its environs. It is affirmed, but this needs confirmation, that it is infected with the cholera; 380 oxen and above 600 sheep have just arrived in this city for the use of the garrison. We have mentioned that the town of Tula, in Russia (the great manufactory of arms), had been nearly destroyed by fire. We have learnt since that there has been a second fire, which has done great damage. A letter from Bayonne says that Zumalacarreguy has caused two members of the Junta of Navarre, and three priests, (cures) to be shot. A letter from Toulon of the 6th says,— " Orders were yesterday received for the Arthemise to sail im mediately for the Levant on a special and urgent mission. On this account it was ordered to leave its quarantine, it which it was to have remained till the Bth of this month. The Duquesne has sailed to rejoin the squadron." HAMBURG PAPERS.

About two o'clock on Thursday the wife of a painter named Foley, living in Broad-lane, having occasion to leave her house for a few minntes, went out, locking the door on a child of about three years old. During her absence the child caught fire, and its cries being heard outside, the door was forced by a shoemaker named William Reed, who rushed in, caught the little sufferer, extinguished the flames in which it was enveloped, and ran with it to the Dispensary. The child, however, was so much injured that it was deemed advisable to have it taken to the South Infirmary, whither it was instantly carried by Reed, and has since died.— Cork Southern Reporter. the powers of, the said Commissioner s appointed under this Act,) shall appertain and belong exclusively to such Guar dians of the Poor or Select Vestry, ace ording to the respec tive provisions of the Acts under which such Guardians or Select Vestry may have been or shall be; appointed.

Lorcrr j ._ sr ( Chancellor at Salisbury, we expresse ;11,0iigret that i \ \ ' l 4, two such distinguished statesmen as L rOurham and ii.. `..- himself should be found combating th),:i:ilvs,iif each 1 4 , other as to the course which ought to 4 1* , 4344,01 in' ~ reforming our institutions, with a degreivpr ittb.. Jo; partaking almost of acrimony. Lord Diu* -....2*A N ' 7v , ..,1 been an ardent and sincere Reformer from his fi n- , - --- trance on public life ; and Lord Brougham, for a quar ter of a century, has devoted his great talents and energy to the furtherance of Reform in all our institu tions, and in particular to the greatest of all Reforms, that of the national character itself, by the promo tion of education and the diffusion of knowledge throughout all classes of the community. The dif ference between these two Noblemen is a difference merely as to means, the purpose of both being the same. Nay, more, we are not sure if, on analysis, it will not be found that the difference even as to means, is not for the most part more apparent than real. In polemics men often, for the sake of immediate ad vantage in argument, use more unguarded language than they would if delivering their sentiments coolly, without reference to controversy. Lord Brougham, both in his place in Parliament and on his Scotch tour, in our opinion more than once made use of lan guage susceptible of a construction which he did not intend should be put upon it. It is not easy for statesmen, conscious of honest intentions, and often imp leded by obstacles of which the public cannot have an adequate conception, to preserve on all occasions the most stoical equanimity in repelling attacks. It never could be the intention of Lord Brougham, in addressing himself to oppo nents who looked only to ends, and made no allowance for the obstacles to be. overcome in at taining them, to say that any delay beyond what was unavoidable in effecting reforms should take place. It is quite possible to see with regret every hour which passes over the existence of recognized and unreformed abuses, and yet to be unable to reform recognised abuses with the rapidity with which some persons think they ought to be reformed. " There is much (said Lord Durham at the late Dundee meeting) that is good and valuable in our institutions, if it were fairly drawn out ; but much of what is good in our institutions has, through Tory misrule, been perverted to other .pur poses. But I hold that in our form of government by King, Lords, and Commons, there will be found a greater degree of liberty than ever existed in any country of the world, and as much rational liberty as any people under the sun can or ought to enjoy— (cheers). I ask you of the working classes, who are the sinews of the State, what would be the consequence of any system calculated to produce 'confusion ? I am not aware of any class that would suffer more- from such a state than the operatives." Here Lord Durham points to the great difficulty with which Reformers have to contend. The House of Lords are opposed to the reforms and ameliorations which the nation de mands, andhas a right to expect. The great question is, how is this obstacle to be overcome without pro ducing confusion ? We do not believe that Lord Grey ever was aware of the impossibility of such a House of Lords as the present, moving in harmony with a re formed Parliament ; and there are many worthy per sons in this country, who, constantly hearing the praises of a constitution of King, Lords, and Com mons, take it for granted that the excellency so much eulogized, can be found in a House of Lords consti tuted like the present. It is the'duty of every honest man who understands the question, to disabuse the people on this momentous question, in order that the farther reform may be effected that must take place be fore the two houses can work harmoniously together. The public should be taught that an independent he ' reditary assembly and an assembly responsible to the people must be in constant danger of collision, and that the only possible means of- obtain ing the harmonious movement of two separate assemblies is to make both responsible to the nation. The more the people are familiarized with this truth, the more easy will it be to effect the ne cessary change. But in the mean time Lord Dur ham, 'as well as Lord Brougham, must be aware that • regretting every hour which passes over the existence of •recognized -and unrfformed abuses is very different from saying, happen what may, whenever the existence of unreformed abuses is recognized, the obstacles to the reform must be directly combated. The existence of the present state of the tithe law in Ireland is an abuse which threatens even the peace of that country. We know very well that the House of Lords is the author of what may cause unspeakable calamity ; but we know also that any confusion would produce unspeak able calamity ; and the problem to be solved is the removal of the obstacle without creating confusion. With all our esteem for the Lord Chan cellor, we will honestly confess that we cannot always subscribe to his views. For instance, his repre sentation of the Warwick Bill seems to us to in dicate an erroneous judgment of the nature and object of that Bill. He confounds the franchise with property, the very error that the Reform Bill was directed against. The principle of the Reform Bill is, that the property and intelligence of the country should be fairly represented ; and with that view that the franchise should be so be stowed that the interests of those who return the repre sentatives might be identical with the interests of the community. From a wish not to hazard a great mea sure by uniting too many interests against the Bill, many blots on the representation were suffered to re main ; but these blots were not the less an evil be cause they could not be at once effaced. It was well known that many of the small boroughs left were not independent communities, but places influenced by in dividuals ; in short, so many nest-eggs of borough mongering. Among such places was Warwick, noto riously influenced by the Earl of Warwick. The Lord Chancellor speaks as if the franchise were a property, and as if the object of the trust were the good of the freemen of Warwick, and not the good of the country. We admit that if it were proposed to punish the elec tors of Warwick for bribery, it might be necessary to give them all the technical protection the law of .Engt land so liberally deals out to all rogues ; but it was proposed not to punish the electors of Warwick, but to improve the representation, by adding to War wick to the thriving town of Leamington. There was more than enough of evidence to show that gross corruption was practised in Warwick, and at all events Warwick would have been benefited, and not injured, by the addition of a constituency which would have rendered bribery impossible in all time coming. We cannot quit this subject without observing that the Lord Chancellor hardly does justice to those who objected to his eulogy of the House of Lords. " Thus (says his Lordship) you and those who met on Mon day have the sense to see that there is no kind of in consistency in a person being friendly to the people's part of our mixed Monarchy, the Democratic part, the base of the pyramid, and also willing to preserve the other two branches, the Crown and the Lords. You are not of those thoughtless creatures who call it in consistent in a person to venerate and love the Re formed House of Commons when your worthy repre sentatives speak your sense, and yet to hold that the vast mass of business there transacted makes it unavoid able that errors should, from time to time, find their way into bills there passed."—We may observe here that we believe there is no difference of opinion as to the necessity for a second branch of the Legislature to review acts of the Lower House. There are few or none who object to a second branch of the Legislature discharging the functions of the House of Peers. But everything depends on the meaning attached to the House of Peers ; and is his Lordship prepared to say that a House with a majority of 60 hostile to all liberal measures is the body to which ought to be con fided the task of reviewing and modifying the acts of the Commons ? We do not mean to say that Lord Brougham means this ; but knowing what conclusions have already been drawn from what fell from him at Dundee, it is, we think, but fair to the public to avoid expressing himself in a m anner which is open t o mis construction. By his own admission at Dundee, the House of Lords, in addition to sinister motives,, is ignorant, and greatly in want of the schoolmaster—full Of all m anner of absurd prejudices. N ow a rev i s ion of the acts of the People's House may be very good, and yet revision by such a House of Lords may destroy THE MARKETS-(THIS 'DAY.) HAY MARKETS.— At per Load of 36 Trusses .

The water rose in some places to within a foot or two of the edge of the quay, and presented the novel spectacle of vessels lying, to appearance, almost out of the water. Some houses in Baltic-street, from the drain that runs in that direction, were partially flooded in the sunk flats. The depth of water over thQ bar would not be much short of twenty feet. —Edinburgh Chronicle. DESTRUCTIVE SHOT.-We stated in a former number that Colonel R. Sutton shot from a pony, upon Colo nel Peel's manor, at Beckenham, near Thetford, between the hours of seven and three, 110 brace of birds. The shooting so great a number of birds is sufficient to excite surprise, but the manner in which it was accomplished is still more interesting. The Colonel was attended by thirty persons carrying flags upon long poles, who placed themselves round the fields where the cosies were found; the birds being frightened, flew in various directions, but not to a great distance, and were correctly marked down. The Colonel was furnished with two double barrelled guns, which were substituted for two others at the instant required; he shot from either shoulder, aid in many instances two brace of birds fell before he moved. Having won his bet, the Colonel, on his way home, resumed his sport, and actually bagged 31 brace more before be retired from the scene of destruction.—Chelmsford Chronicle. On Sunday last an ingenious robbery was committed at the Castle and Falcon Inn, Aldersgate-street, and upwards of 40/. worth of plate and sovereigns belonging to two gentle men who were stopping there carried off. On Saturday even ing Mr. Jackson, a gentleman residing at Manchester, pur chased various articles of plate at the shop of Mr. Savory, the silversmith in Cornhill, which he took with him to the above inn, and packed them up in his portmanteau, as he was to have left town for Manchester on the following evening. Almost immediately after Mr. Jackson had entered the inn he was fol lowed by a well-dressed person, who had the appearance of a foreigner, who inquired, in a kind of half French and half English, if he could be accommodated with a bed for the night, and was answered in the affirmative. He was subsequently shown to a chamber adjoining that in which Mr. Jackson slept. On the following ( Sunday) morning he had breakfast in the coffee-room, after which he went out for a short time, and re turned with a tall well-dressed young man, and both went up stairs together. Shortly after one o'clock the Frenchman and his friend came down stairs, carrying with them the carpet bag and portmanteau which the former had brought there on the night before, and having paid the bill, they called a cab and instantly drove off. In a short time afterwards Mr. Jackson returned to the inn, and having occasion to put something into his portmanteau, he discovered, on unlocking it, that the plate which it had contained, together with a rosewood writing-desk, in which was deposited papers and documents of considerable consequence, had been taken out. It was also found that an other portmanteau in the same room had been unlocked, and ten sovereigns taken therefrom.
