duty to continue the opposition tvhich he gave to the mea sure 01l its introduction ; and he gave it on - the • same Founds. Nothing had occurred during the discussion to increase his predilection for a change in the Constitution of the country. He was quite ready to admit there hail been a sufficient demonstration of public opinion in favour of the Rill, to induce him to regard that opinion with respect, and RI ask himself how far he should be jus tified by his sense of public duty in yielding to it. He regretted to say that the result of that inquiry was a con viction that he should be wholly unjustified in doing so. It was on the ground that he believed the measure would be most injurious to the permanent interests of the country, and not on any personal feelings, that he opposed it. It was because he feared that they were about to substitute a pure democracy for the mixed form of Government which the country had hitherto possessed, that he felt it to be his duty to resist the Bill. He still hoped, however, that the authors of this new plan would maturely reconsider it. Ile understood, notwithstanding the declarations which had been made of an increased feeling in the country in favour of the Bill, that there were souse pretty strong in dications that the reverse was the fact. He did hope, therefore, that his Majesty's Ministers—he did hope that the people, would ponder well before they took an irre vocable step. He hoped they would look at what had taken place in foreign countries. He did not ask the friends of Reform to relinquish their sympathy with those who were called " the heroes of July" in Paris. But he would ask them well to consider what had been the effects of the efforts of those heroes on the liberties and happiness of France? Had they added to the security of freedom and property ? Let the people of this country inquire why, when there was a fair field open for their exertions, the philosophers, and ardent lovers of liberty in France, had found so much difficulty in re-constructing the social edifice in that country ? Every week brought intelligence of some new movement in Paris ; and it was necessary that every National Guardsman in that city who was engaged in any occupation should hold the instru ment of that occupation in one hand and a sword in the other. There might be no fault in that. But it was evi dent, that having once unsettled all the institutions of their country, they found it extremely difficult to re-establish even a temporary authotity. Let the people look at any other country—let them look at the South American pro• vinces, and they would behold a similar spectacle. They would see how difficult it was, when once ancient institu tutions were subverted, to erect any permanent system on their ruins. Nay, he would ask whether, since the question of Reform had been broached in that country, the effect had not been injurious on the employment of capital, and on the encouragement of industry ? Had it not been also injurious in other respects? lie bad never been an advocate for restrictions on the liberty of the Press ; but when a news paper, supposed to be friendly to his Majesty's Government, and in some degree to possess its confidence, dared, for the purpose of influencing the decision of the House of Lords on the Reform Bill, to bold out encouragement to the army to neglect their duty, it was surely high time that all cormeetion between such a publication and the Members of his Majesty's Government should be disavowed by the latter. And why bad an lion. and Learned Gen tleman revived the scenes of pillage and massacre to which the French nobility had been exposed ? Why had he re vived the recollection of their ruined castles and deserters hearths ? Was the Hon. and Learned Gentleman unaware of the wide difference of the situation and character of that nobility and the nobility of England ? Or, did he inrroduce the topic for the purpose of introducing the latter ? If so, he would tell him that any acquiescence in the plan of Re form extorted from the House of Lords—any acquiescence obtained from them by any means but those of a convic tion of its expediency, would be fatal to monarchy in this country. lie had done ; and he had many apologies ti make for having trespassed so long upon the attention to the House. If the people of England, on a review of all the circumstances of their situation, were so satisfied that they were suffering a practical grievance as to he impatient for the adoption of the plan now offered to them, let it be so. He differed from them ; and he was ready to submit to the penalties to which that difference subjected him. But they had no right and no power to compel him ts acquiesce in what he honestly believed to be an error. " It is my duty," concluded the Right lion. Baronet, " to maintain my own honour. lam not responsible to any man for my opinions; and being, like others, a life-renter in those institutions which have hitherto preserved the tranquillity arid greatness, and happiness of my country, I wilt not be an instrument in cutting off the inheritance from those who are to follow me."—(Loud cheers, which lasted for several minutes, followed the close of the Right lion. Baronet's speech.) Lord J. RUSSELL replied, in a very luminous, argu men:ative, and eloquent speech, which was loudly cheered in its principal points. lie combatted with great force the different Arguments that bad been advanced against the Bill, and concluded by expressing his decided conviction that the measure now proposed, so far from creating dis order in the frame of society, would add to its future wel fare and security--(bear, hear.) A general cry of " Quntion " now took place, in the midst of which Mr. HUNT rose, and, as we understood him, declared that though he would vote for this Bill, still he was con vinced that it was not a measure calculated to meet the feelings and sentimerts of the great body of the people of this country. The Hon. Member said a great deal more amidst much interruption, that, so far as the noise would allow us to form a judgment, had nothing whatever to do with the question before the House, Alderman WOOD then presented himself to the House amidst an almost indescribable turmoil. The lion. Al derman braved it out, and, when we heard him, he was defending the conduct of the Livery of London from an attack which the Member for Preston had made on his brother Liverymen, with reference to the proceedings at the late Common-ha% The cries of "que st i on," and "divide," now became overwhelming-. The gallery was cleared for a division, and, after a very long pause, the numbers were declared to be— For the question " that this Bill do now pass Against it Majority in favour uf the Bill A loud cheer followed this annunciation. The Bill was then passed atnidet loud anti reiterated acclamations. The other Orders of the Day were then read, and the House adjourned at Half-past Five o'clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Reform Bill has passed, by a large majority of 109 Members, that House against whose vices and abuses it was directly levelled. The Commons of England have declared, both withia doors and without, that the repre sentation of the people had degenerated into a mere de posit of the usurped power of some 150 individuals, in the bands of about 210 or 250 of their dependents, who were sent by them into Parliament for the promotion of measures and of interests in which the English nation had no concern, or against which, indeed, ithad often been th e duty of the people's representatives, and their fregment, though fruitless, endeavour to struggle. Last night's vote, then, having put oil record the decision of the people of England, in condemnation of the principles whereon their own peculiar branch of the Legislature has hitherto been con structed, it seems almost preposterous to suppose that any other, any external body of men, would have the hardihood to resist such a vote,—to tell the Members of the House of Commons, " You shall continue to be elected under the dictation of those whose interference with the choice of representatives is a notorious breach of privilege, and by force of practices which the law, when it detects them, never fails to punish as crimes ;"—to tell the elec tors, on the other hand, or those who in every reasonable view of the nature of a representative Constitution ought to be electors, " You shall not vote for Members of Par liament, but we will appoint them, and call them yours; and you shall pay the taxes which these our collectors levy on you ; and you shall obey the laws which these our deputies enact." It seems, as we have said, almost pre posterous to imagine that any such opposition to the de clared will of the nation, expressed out of doors by hun dreds of meetings, and within doors by the concurrence of all the county Members of England, with only six excep tions, could be risked by any number of men in their sober senses. Yet is this precisely what that section of t ,, s Peerage, which threatens to reject the Reform Bill, con fesses that it is prepared to do ! We sincerely and de voutly pray that no such experiment may be tried by the Peers upon the people of England.--- Times. A meeting of many Members of the House of Com. mous took place yesterday at Lord Ebrington's, on the subject of the Reform Bill. They were people of the first consideration, and it was natural in parting with so va l ua bles pledge for so difficult and d angerous a voyage as that thro o g the House of Lords, t h at they shouldso meet, expres s their an xiety for its we lf are, and propose meas ures in case of a fa il ure. Prudent men are not ' oabe rsults. without a provisio n even for the most ir It would, no doubt, be declared by the H buse s of e mons, wire a certain dangerous contingency actually to occur, that the Ministers had the confidenc the country the deter ' and of the House ; and it may have been resolution.la tion of the meeting to be ready with such a The first reception of the Bill, however, in the Upper House, will indicate whether any and what steps are to he positively taken by the people or their representatiVP", Or both. Of the meeting at Westminster yesterday, ,it is, Only necessary to say—what public hope anticipated— that it passed in the best manner, and added one proof more of the sincere interest which the people of this kingdom take in the success of the Reform Bill.— Times. The Reform Bill occupies attention so exclusively, that there is but little of it to bestow on other subjects, else the proceedings in the House of Lords on the Bankruptcy Bill would he more minutely noted by us. Lord Lyndhurst opposed the re-commitment of the Bill in an elaborate and temperate speech on Tuesday night. The Lord Chancellor answered with great force and point. It has been said of this Bill that it is one of general policy, and not a party measure; and so it should seem, as the Duke of Welling ton is understood to have declined voting with Lord Lynd hurst, the Earl of Eldon, and those who usually occupy the Opposition side of the House : a division in conse quence did not take place. Same augur from hence a more extensive feeling on the part of his Grace with the present Nlinisrers. It may be so, we trust it is so ; we know nothing of the fact : but, in any case, here is enough to prove that there is not that bitterness which is but too fre quently the result of a direct contrariety upon any impor tant question,—there is no sweeping and universal hosti lity.— Times. The Reform Bill has nt length, thank God'. passed the House of Commons. The division was 345 to 236, giv ing a majority of 109 in the last stage of its progress. The debate continued till past five o'clock this morning. The subject had become threadbare. Last night exhi bited a most praiseworthy perseverance, under such very untoward circumstances. The interest, however, of the question is only commencing. It was decided in the Com mons by the last election. But the House of Lords affects to be removed from popular influence. Now then comes the tug of war. The combat now is between this great nation and a section of a body of between three and four hundred individuals. We shall see whether they will attempt to maintain their right to controul the House of Commons—whether they will interpose themselves be tween the peop!e and a Reform sanctioned by that House and acceptable to the people. It is now for the people of England to exert themselves. Their united efforts will ❑ow be required. —ll Tor ning Chronicle. Another instance of persecution, akin to that exercised by the Duke of Newcastle and the Marquis of Exeter, was brought before the House last night, by Mr. T. Dun combo. The Hon. Member presented a petition from 35 electors of the borough of Hertford, tenants of the Marquis of Salisbury, who stated, and had verified their statement on oath, that they had been dispossessed of their tenements solely in consequence of their having voted for Reform candidates ; that many of them had occupied their houses for several years, and all had punctually paid their rents. The short speech of Sir John Sebright was important He was sorry said) that any one in England attempted to controul his tenants ; he had never done anything of the sort with his ; and he was convinced that the consequence was, that he had much greater influence over them than if he was to exer cise the most unjustifiable power towards them.—(Hear, hear.) But it was because he found that landlords would use their in fluence unduly that he had voted against the clause introduced in the Reform Bill to give the franchise to tenants at will holding farm, of fifty pounds a-year, believing, as he did, that that class of persons must be entirely under the influence of their landlords, while they themselves would no more possess the franchise than if they were so many negro slaves." There can be no doubt that any attempt on a sweeping scale by landlords to controul tenants will lead to a coffee don. But we shall not now enter on this point. The defence set up by Sir Henry Hardinge was, that it had been •tated, a few nights ago, by a Cabinet Minister, that Go vernment bad a right to expect the support of its adherents, and in the event of their not giving that support, they roust expect to be discharged ; and of the two cases, that of the Government and that of a private individual, the latter was infinitely favourable in the comparison ; for it was only using that influence in support of that personal 'eeling of his own, both of which were supposed to belong .o every English gentle-man. The two cases are utterly lissimidir. Sir H. Hardinge might as well contend that the individuals of an army ought to he at liberty to assist the enemy, as that persons in the employ of a Govern ment ought to he at liberty to support those who wish n supplant those carrying on the Government. A House livided against itself cannot stand. The Ministry of a , ountry have a right to the co-operation of all who are ~m ployed by them. But in the case of the rest of the na tion, we know of no rightful claim which any man can have to controul the suffrage of another. The relation between landlord and tenant has no reference, and can have no reference, to the duties of the citizen towards the State. The contract between the landlord and tenant places these two in a state of dependence on each other; the tenant is just as much entitled to claim the vote of the landlord in , onsequence of the payment of the rent, as the landlord is to claim the vote of the tenant for the use of the tenement for which the rent is paid. The object of the contract is the cultivation of the soil. If the landlord lets the soil for less than its fair value with a view to a vote, this is bribery. In no way can controul in the exercise of poli tical suffrage he deemed to have a rightful existence. That landlords and other men do occasionally avail them selves of the advantages which circumstances give them to controul citizens in the exercise of the elective franchise, is no justification of it ; and with the growing improvement of the people, we have no doubt that combinations and associations on the part of electors will he entered into for self defence, and to punish men who, like the Marquis of Salisbury, are not content with the legal advantages of property, but wish to exercise a tyranny over the minds of their fellow-citizens.—These men must and will be pu nished.—Morning Chronicle. The report of the debate in the House of Lords, on Tues day night, on the B.tnkruptcy Court Bill, is well worth the attention of our readers. Nothing is more astonishinc , in this country than the impossibility of finding any other than persons of learning, and talents, and virtue, and in dustry, to fill offices to which good incomes are attached. It is said, that from whatever height a cat is thrown it always fall on i:s feet. It may he said, with more truth, that no matter what the number of functionaries, and how appointed, they are sure to be the most meritorious that could possibly have been appointed. It is well known that the son, or other near relation, of any one possessed of Parliamentary interest, without practice, and with a strong necessity for an income, and the youth whose martial qua lifications might attract any fashionable spinster in favour with the Lady of a Lord Chancellor, were no sooner made Commissioners of Bankrupt, than they instantly became possessed of all conceivable merits. Take, in short, the greatest booby in all England and make a Commissioner of Bankrupt of him ; and, as if touched by the wand of Prospero, he is instantly transferred into a model of human perfection. Of the fact of the astonisinning merit there can be no doubt, fur Lord I yndhurst, who of all men living hu the greatest regard for the most unslirinking veracity, the most unguilty scrupulosity, who has, in short, a conscience so very tender as to swallow nothing but the nicest moral food, and who was never known in his life to assert that of which he was not most strongly assured, threw all the weight of his high character around the Com missioners of Bankrupt, and consequently the breath of malice can never more assail them. The virtuous indigna tion of the Noble and Learned Lord, at the calumnies uttered against them, burst forth at the very commence ment of his speech. ‘. They had been charged (he said) with incapacity, with indo lence, with being greedy of teed, and acting not from a regard to their duties, but from selfish motives. It was easy to set a go ing these calumnies against them in a quarter where they were not known, and, therefore, it was the duty of those who did know them to come !Omani and repel these calumnies. This was due in justice to them and to the public, which was interested in the character and conduct of those who had important public du ties to perform. During the three years when he held the Great Seal, he had had all opportunity of observing the conduct of the Commissioners, and he could therefore say, from personal obser vation, that the charges against them were utterly destitute of foundation.—(llear, hear.) hi that body there were individuals of the greatest knowledge, of the most honourable principles, and of the highest talents, and in every respect of a character equal to the important and confidential station which they held; and, indeed, equal to any station. And he wodld ay of them as a body, that they were well qualified faithfully and ably to discharge the duties imposed upon them. lie had Lad an oppor tunity of observing their proceedings for three years." We wish hit Lordship had along with the fact, of which there can be no doubt, cruninunicated.the mode in which all these virtues, and talents, and acquireliems, find so sudden au entrance into the Commissioners; for-having' himself witnessed the process of transformation of not a few of them, no man is better qualified than his Lordship to throw light on a subject as a.tounding as any that has taken place since the time of the gift of tongues. Who, after such a testimony as that of this venerable and un spo'ted Judge, would think of paving the least regard to the sentiments of the trailing world, to the Common Coun cil of the City of London, or meetings of b token., mer chants, and trailers of London, assembled at the Mansion house? It is clear that they are all under the influence of some hallucination. His Lordship distinctly affirmed that " looking at the charges in the petitions from both these bodies (which embodied all tie charges in the various other petitions), he could say that they were totally destitute of foundation." He repelled too the charges that men without business, and without other sources of in come, are desirous of making the most of their ' Commissionerships. It would be more gratifying to a p hundredooreomission e r to make four hundr e d than eight pounds a year, and still more, two hundred a-year than four. " Another charge," said the venerable Judge, so well able himself to appreciate mn disinterested ,raon c d on oo - ff con duct, " was that th e s e gentleme honourab high character, multiplied meeti ngs , f or the p enhancing their fees. This was a char ge o f fraupsed,and it would require strong evidence to prove it against such men. It was a maxim of law that fraudvai not to be presumed ; and keeping this maxim in view, look at the probabilities of the case." Aye, look at the probabilities ! This slander is the very same that is now urged to the de struction of our most venerable institutions. It is pre sumed that men who have the power of voting away the public money at their own discretion will consult their own interests rather than the interests of the public ; that offices will be created, and wars entered into, not because they are necessary, but because they give incomes to those wbo can command votes. Fraud is presumed, in short, against the patrons of boroughs. We shall see the Noble and Learned Lord, in due time, transfer the argument he has so triumphantly urged in favour of the disinterested ness of Commissioners of Bankrupt to the service of the equally disinterested boroughmongere. His Lordship could not have been actuated by any wish to preserve a source of patronage to the Aristocracy. It is true seventy Commissioners ,go a considerab'e way towards supporting the cadets of families of the West-end of the town, and with the Governorships, Church livings, &c., form parts of the grand system which enables this country, as Mr. Baring says, to possess the proud distinc tion of having a few very ri c h, an d a t th e same time the greatest number of necessitous persons of any country in the world. But his Lordship thought only of the great interests of trade and ind us t r y, an d o f m aintaining due reqpect for justice, by securing the purest administration of it. The suggestion that Lord Brougham had begun at the wrong end, as he ought to have corrected the system as far as it applied to the country Commissioners, and then directed his attention to the London Commissioners, had no reference to a wish to secure the patronage of the Aristo cracy, and to find employment for Reform in a quarter in which they have no interest. Lord Brougham was hard put to it to meet this bold testimony. " 'What he ob jected to was (he said) the system, of which the effects were in the first place, to give less able Judges, and to render these less able Judges still less efficient for their duties. It was obviously difficult to find at any bar seventy men fit to perform the duties of these Commissioners. It was also quite obvious, that the number being limited to ten, there could be little difficulty in securing high capability in each of them. These Judges being so numerous, their appoint ment became almost inevitably a matter of patronage ; the perfect competency of one individual out of seventy being csnsidered on every new appointment as not a matter of very weighty importance." By way of proving that the appointments had not been always unobjectionable, he added, that " he had known instances of the grossest in capacity on the part of the London Commissioners, and when he inquired into one of these cases, he found that the two Commissioners who sat upon the occasion were— one of them an attorney, and the other a young gentleman who had not yet been called to the Bar. —The other two Commissioners (who were competent men) were not pre sent." But his Lordship went still further. "It was well known (he said) to be one of the most difficult duties of the Judge or the lawyer to search and sift, anti analyse the testimony of a dishonest witness. But he could name a score of those Commissioners who were wholly incapable of performing such a duty. He did not blame those gentlemen. The fault was not in them, but in the ap pointing of them. Many of them were boys, taken from Westminster H ill almost the first day they entered it. The Bill before their Lordships would secure the appointment of Barristers of standing, experience, and cha racter; who, being protected as Judges, would be competent to their duties, and would perform them efficiently." We are, then, called on to choose between the bankers, mer chants, and traders of the country, backed by Lord Brougham—who, by the appointment of able Judges in stead of raw lads, cuts up his own patronage, and limits his power of obliging fashionable young ladies desirous of husbands with something to live on, and the probability of the thing on the one hand—and Lord Lyndhurst, sup ported by that great filler of sinecures (Lord Eldon), bear ing testimony to what is against ell rules of probability. It is for those who know best the high character of his Lordship, and his intense hatred of corruption in all shapes, to pronounce whether, under such circumstances, his evidence ought to be believed, when the nature of things so strong'y oppugns it. There are many, we know, in this age of detraction, who will set very little store by his Lordship's evidence, and will be disposed to think that the Aristocracy may as well hope to make a blackamoor white as to make what appears a vile exercise of patronage pa lateable to the country by such support. We shall see whether the Septuagint or Lord Brougham will carry the day.—Morning Chronicle. The House of Commons have at length disposed of the Reform Bill, after another long debate, in which the friends of corruption displayed their usual obstinacy. At an early part of the evening they seized upon an expression made use of by Mr. Crampton, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, as to the power of the Crown to withhold writs from the rotten boroughs ; and on this expression they got up an amendment, and a debate which served as a fillip to their spirits in the way of animadversion. Though the vet y same sentiment had been uttered upon more than one occasion in the course of the discussions on the Bill, Mr. Williams Wynn and Sir Charles Wetherell caught at it as a novelty more frightful than the Bill itself. Every body remembers that Mr. T. Duncombe said the same thing almost two months ago, and no noise was made about it. An English Attorney-General said some thing to the same effect at a later period, and yet no notice was taken of it. But, the moment an Irish Solicitor-Ge neral repeats it in an Irish brogue, the Constitution is in voked, and the shade of Cromwell congratulated on having met his match at last from the other side of the water. But the real motive of all this bluster is easily seen through —it was to swell out the difficulties of the Bill, that the Lords, or rather the boroughmongers amongst the Lords, might have an opportunity of quoting the fact, to answer their own purposes. The difficulty, however, was got over at last, after an explanation from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the Government did not hold the doc trine, or, at least, did not mean to act upon it, and the de bate proceeded without further interruption to its close. But, after all, the Commons have done their duty. They have passed the Bill by a majority of 109. It may now be considered as before their Lordships. We an ticipate no thing ;—we hope the best. It is an awful moment for the country ;—may the result be such as every Englishman can hail with joy, and remember with gratitude !—Morn ing Herald. The objections of Lord Lyndhurst to the I3ankrupt Bill of the Lord Chancellor have not, as we are aware, met with a single admirer in the city. It is difficult to say how the new system will work, sh ou ld it ever be carried into effect ; but the public are quite satisfied that it cannot work worse than the one now in use. Earl Eldon and Lord Lyndhurst may praise the talents and industry of the present Commissioners as much as they please, but these Nolfe Lords will never be able to persuade commercial men that either the one or the other have ever been exercised ' for their interests. The fact is, the very mode of con ducting business before the Bankrupt Commissioners is a disgrace to a civilized country. It is, in fact, for the most part, a scene of noise, violence, and disorder, which those who never witnessed it could scarcely conceive to be possible. There is no part of Lord Brougham's Bill which has given more satisfaction than that which provides for the appointment of official assignees, whose duty it will be to see that the assignees appointed by the creditors do their duty, to insist upon the debts due to the estate, being collected, and, in one word, to attend to the general inte rests of the creditors, without respect to one party or the other. Every one acquainted with such matters knows that at present the elections of assignees are made without any reference to the general interests of the estate. They are, indeed, party concerns, frequently between the bona fide creditors on the one hand, and the fictitious ones and the bankrupt on the other; and whichever side happens to have the cleverest, most active, or least scrupulous attorney, for the most part wins the day. If the former party gain the appointment of assignees, the estate will pro bably be honestly, but carelessly managed ; if the latter be victorious, why the bankrupt and the attorney share the spoil, and there is an end of the matter. In all cases of bankruptcy there are a great many creditors who take little or no interest in the nutter. They cannot afford to lose their time; and to employ an agent, they say, would be only throwing good money after bad. The official assignees will take care of the interests of such creditors. Unpaid amid irresponsible assignees will not do their duty. A man says to himself. Why should I trouble myself about getting a debt of a few pounds, when only a•few shillings will come to my share. A great deal, however, will depend upon the class 0+ per sons appointed official assignees. Lord Brougham talked about appointing persons to this office from among the London Special Jurors—that is, from among merchants or persons of independent property. But the fact is, to make the plac,s worth such persons' acceptance, the ernsiluments must be very high ; and even then we are quite sure that the duties would not be half so well per formed as they would -by persons who depended upon their offices for the means of existence.—Morn. Herald. About half-past twelve o'clock this day, their MAJESTIES left St. James's Palace in an open landau, drawn ew six horses, and followed by s i x ot h er carr i ages n and ibt fi): Woolwich, to he present a t t h e epening of the and the launch of the Thunderer, 84.

Ett 4444, 'ia.S l 4414 7.7.711,, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1831. At length the Reform Bill is settled in the House of Commons. At an advanced hour this morning it passed by a majority of 109, which would have been still greater, had not many Members obtained leave of absence. Public attention is now therefore diverted from the House of Commons to the House of Lords. The Peers will now have the eyes of the whole country exclusively fixed on them, and we hope and believe they will not disap point expectation. The people rely confidently on the wisdom of their deliberations, and the justice of their decision, that it will be worthy both of themselves and the nation. In a few days the great discussion will commence, though to what extent it may be protracted cannot at present be foreseen. We should imagine it could not be a very lengthened one, as the question is already worn threadbare. The country nobly responds to the summons lof the Reformers, and is astir in all directions. The Durham county meeting is announced, Northumberland is in motion, Yorkshire is ready to enter the arena. Thus, for at least the twentieth time, the stupid calumnies of the boroughmongers and their satellites are again refuted. That ominous sound—war—is now in every one's mouth, and it is especially remarkable that the affairs of the continent, as well as the internal concerts of Great Britain, appear to be at the same moment approaching a crisis. The time is arrived when neutrality, or indifference, to what is going on, is almost an impossibility with the most phlegmatic temperament ; for it is evident that the season of meditation is gone by, and that of action has taken its place. If the House of Lords succeed in overthrow ing the Reform Bill, the reaction will be of the same kind as that which the deplorable fate of Warsaw has excited in every liberal mind in Europe. The people will begin to vow vengeance against injustice—to assert the inalienable rights of citizens, and to take defensive measures for the maintenance of those rights against oppression. The name of the Russian Autocrat is now more than scandalous throughout Europe, but that very scandal has done the cause of freedom a most signal service, for it has hastened the con flict which will end in the destruction of the in struments of oppression. The English Aristo cracy have still time before them, time to weigh the dangers of their position, and we earnestly hope they may not shew themselves endued with that characteristic inability to repent, which is a mark that history has set upon Aristocracies of ' times past. From the moment that the House of Com mons has passed the Bill for the election of another Assembly in a new manner, the mission of the present House may be considered to have ceased. It was called together by the KING, for the express purpose of considering the Reform Bill, and was in effect a Constituent Assembly. It is not the sense of that Assembly, any more than of the people, that it ought to continue to legislate for this nation. All Government, says HUME, is founded on opinion, but how is a system of Government to be carried on, after a branch of the Legislature has confe.ssed itself to be a mockery ? It is evident that, if another branch of the Government refuse to concur in the reformation of the defective branch which has declared openly its own incompetency, the system must come to a full stop, and an appeal must be made to the people, as the only means of pre venting anarchy for want of a Legislature. The -people, in so extreme a contingency, would have to act pretty much in the same way as in the case of a vacancy of the Crown, for a vacancy of the House of Commons is an event perfectly analo gous in its nature. Let the oligarchy beware to what extremities they may unwittingly drive a nation that has ever been conspicuous for its desire to be " godly and quietly governed." A Continental war may overtake us sooner than we anticipate, but if we can secure domestic peace, we may bear up against more distant dan gers with confidence in our strength. But how can such domestic peace be reckoned on, if a handful of desperate, so-called Noble, Borough mongers, determine to place themselves in the gap to obstruct the passage of popular rights to the people anxiously waiting to receive them ? Brussels Papers say it is rumoured that the Cabinets of Prussia, Russia, and Austria, are firmly resolved to secure to Holland the posses sion of those portions of territory which are as signed to it by the protocols BRUSSELS, SEer. 20.—The Moniteur contains two Royal Ordinances, prescribing the measures to be t a k en to prevent the cholera from penetrating into Belgium, from Frankfort Nassau, or Hesse Darmstadt. The second Or dinance details all the countries which are either infected with the cholera, or suspected of being so, with the lists of articles considered as susceptible or not susceptible of removing or communicating contagion. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.—1 t is reported that Admiral de Rigny, Minister of Marine in France, is expected at Ant werp. The Dutch Journals maintain that Belgium will not be able to have above 30,000 men in the field in the month of October. It is affirmed that the Cabinets of Prussia, Russia, and Austria are firmly resolved to secure to Holland the posses sion of those portions of territory which are assigned to it by the protocols. We hear of a fortieth protocol, in which the conference summonses the Belgians to adhere to the con ditions of separation which were previously resolved upon. The organization of the army is prosecuted with the greatest activity. The cavalry and infantry are continually examined. Two new regiments will be added to the twelve of which the infantry is now composed. The artillery will be placed en a still more respectable footing than at the time of the Dutch invasion, when it served so well to keep the enemy in check. The first ban of the Civic Guard will soon he called out in all parts of the kingdom and subject to military discipline. It appears that all the troops are to leave the garrisons by the 28th, and repaired to the places where they are to be encamped. Thirty-three Dutch prisoners'of war, who were at Tour nay, arrived at Brussels yesterday. To-day they will go to West Wesel, to be exchanged. To-morrow 200 will ar rive from Mons. Those who were at Most, to the "lum ber of 400, set out to-day, as well as those who were at Tirlemont. The two French regiments of cavalry that are cantoned at Genappe and the environs, set out on Saturday last to return to France. The Dutch garrison at Sas de Gand left that place on the 16th to join the troops that have arrived at Ilulst, Axel, Terneuse, the left bank of the Scheldt, and the Isle of Walcheren. The number of troops landed at these several points is estimated at 25,000 men. They are daily exercised. The inhabitants of the frontiers of Zealand are iu the greatest alarm. Every day they expect a surprise, the only object of which can be to secure the possession of Ghent, even before the renewal of hostilities. The Burgomaster of Brussels has issued a proclamation to the Grenadiers and Chasseurs of the Ist ban of the Civic Guard of Brussels, calling on them to hasten to the defence of our froutiets, because he says "Our disloyal and cruel enemy threatens us with new aggressions." VIENNA, SEPT. 9.—The Magistrates have received orders not to deliver any more passports with certificates of health. This proves that the, cholera is considered as having already manifested itself here. Yesterday a sur geon died in three hours and a half, and, it is said, with iedubitable symptoms of cholera. In Presburg fifteen persons on an average are daily car ried off by the disorder, without distinction of rich or poor. Five per Cent. Metalliques, 7 7b; Four per Cents. 674; Bank Shares, 940. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 12.—1 t was lately mentioned that the Russians had left only a few troops in Kalisch, while General Knorring was gone with his de tachment to Czenstochau. Under these circumstances a small Polish corps, under General Rozycki, unfortunately succeeded in penetrating to that town, where, with the aid of the Polish inhabitants, it committed various acts of cruelty and pillage on the Germans and Jews. On the news of the approach of the Russian troops the corps in question retreated precipitately. Kalisch has now a stronger garrison to secure it against any future attempts of this kind. ST.

(The Prussian State Gazette has no further news from Poland.) HAMBURG, SEPT. 17.—0 n the 10th instant certifi • cates of health were again issued at Vienna. This change is said to be made in consequence of a difference of opinion between the physicians, respecting the treatment of the cholera. Accounts from St. Petersburgh say, that the cholera had again appeared with such violence at Nishno Novogorod, that the merchants left the city before the fair was ended. We have received the Gazette de France, of yes_ terday's date, and letters dated Paris, Tuesday even_ ing. The following is an extract done of theletters:— TUESDAY, FOUR o'CLocK.—Things are more tranquil to-day, but the rioting is nst over, we shall probably have a little of it for two or three days to come, meanwhile business is grievously impeded, and the general distress is augmented. The Augsburg Gazette has intelligence from Vienna to the 10th instant, which states, that in consequence of a Medical Council held on that day, it was decided that certificates of health should again be delivered. . . . . - The Austrian Observer announces that the cholera has entirely subsided at Bruck on the Leitha, and in the adjacent villages. It appears that a number of foreigners have been arrested among the populace during-the disorders of the last two days. The Moniteur announced, that Government mean to employ all the means allowed them by the law, to remove from the capital these who have thus abused the hospitality of the country ; and should the laws at present in force be insufficient, they intend immediately to apply to the Legislature for a special act to effect that object. A letter from Toulon of the 13th inst. states that the frigate Galatee was on the 11th allowed to come out of quarantine, and General Guilleminot landed with his family, and set out immedi ately for Paris, without receiving or paying a - single visit. The in tercourse between this port and Algiers is constantly increasing. Government and trading vessels are daily leaving this port, freighted with numerous artizans and labourers of every descrip tion, and with every variety of materials of art. The coral fisheries on the African coast, for which France formerly paid a tribute to the Dey of Algiers and the Beys of Oran and Tunis, is now open to all French subjects." A Cabinet Council was held this day at one o'clock, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. Despatches were received this morning at the Foreign-office, from Paris. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE opened this case to their Lorclsrt,bina the short facts of which wer e th ese : —l n t h e year 180.2, a, , nl nership, under the firm of " The Edinburgh and Leith Sb i q, Company," was formed for the purpose of facilitating the 5' veyance of goods and passen gers f rom th e p or t o f L e ith anp jacent places to the p or t o f L on d on.

Mr. Downe who_to proprietor of the wharf, and had let it to the firm at a !no 9001. a year, died in 1810, leaving three daughter s , one of had been married to the appellant's father. Mr. 13° ",,e1• byj his will, devised one-third of the wharf to the n„, last's father, with remainder to the appellant hinise"titjea dependent of the rent of th e w h ar f, M r .

This thir. lio n, divided into three shares, one he b equea th e d t o C o l on el Gl tere , the appellant's father, and the other two to his two clang.' t o Colonel Gillon accepted these legacies and also shared in ~,r• profits of the trade. Shortly aft er th e d ea th o f M r. D o wne a rn . -; te ing took place among the parties, when it was agreed that : ) ,e old partnership should be considered as at an end and a nesc, i fe formed, under which Col. Gillon was en titl e d t o one - n inth tn. of profits, and also to 2001. y ear ly, as hi s thi r d s h are o f the rent r. the wharf, which had been reduced from 9001. to 600/. 3 ;ion On the day after the arrangement w as e nt er ed i n to, a prop9s,',, u p was made by the agent of Col.

The case came before dr Lord Ordinary, and a judgment was obtained against thernent fondants for the sum of 8.V3/. odd, with interest. The jag end was affirmed by the Second Division of the Court of Sessionl ig , afterwards by the House of Lords. During the investign' o e and before any judgment was pronounced against pnt and Co. it was discovered that Mr. Bell's assertion with relio to Colonel Gill on was erroneous, an d t h at he in cons equencen'oe agent having sub scr ib e d th e ar ti c l es o f copartners hi p w as 'I A with the rest of the parties for the debts of the concern n , supplementary action was then brought against Colonel Gl of who denied that he was a partner.

MEETING OF THE BANK PROPRIETOR' (THIS DAY.) In pursuance of the c h ar t er, th e G enera l Q uarter l y Meeting of the Propriet ors was h e ld to-day. At twelve o'clock the Cha' o , man (Horseley Palmer, Esq.) and the Directors entered the Coo room. The CHAIRMAN stated, that they had met to consider ofs dividend.

He moved, " That the pre s ent meeting be adjourn.; to this day week, and that then the Directors lay before the prietors a general account of the affairs of the Bank, made in such a way as they may think proper." On this question a long discussion ensued, during which Chairman was asked whether the profits of the last half 5. oft would cover the present dividend, and whether Mr. Mann, t ie a was still one of the Directors ? If not, had his place been 1. 0 4 up ? He answered that the profits would rover the dividend• a . , a t ' that Mr. Manning was not now a Director, and his place had yet been filled up. The amendment was put and lost. The dividend was then de' Glared, and the meeting broke up. . _ THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CS.
