THETFORD ASSIZES.—Strong doubts have been entertained whether our informants had sufficient grout s for authorising us to announce the intended hold ing of the ensuing Assizes at Norwich by adjournment from Thetford. A letter from the Right Hon. ROBERT GRANT, M.P. to Lieut.-Colonel HARVEY, enclosing a note from the LORD CHANCELLOR'S Secretary, has just been obligingly communicated to us by Mr. Sheriff BIG NOLD, to 'whom it is officially addressed. And we hasten to lay before our readers, the following copies of documents which corroborate the tenor of our former paragraph : 19, Great George-street, Feb. 2-1. _ . DEAR Sin,—l have only this Moment received the Lord Chan cellor's answer, which I enclose—my question was, is the Assize to proceed (from Thetf‘Jrd) to Norwich this Spring ?

TURN-OUT AT OSsETT.—During the last week, the weavers at Osset, near Wakefidd, struck for an advance of wages, amounting to about 2d. per string.

We are glad to hear that the masters have met their men in an accommodating spirit, and that the turn-out is virtually at an end.—Leeds Intelligences. NEI( SOLOMONS, the notorious receiver of stolon property, who, as our readers will recollect, was convicted three or four Sessions ago, upon several indict ments for that offence, and who had previously escaped from the officers who were conveying him to Newgate, and got to New South Wales, still remains in Newgate to await the r:sult of the opinion of the Judges on his case.

WHITNIORE, See. Cototn-House, London, Feb. 21, 1831, PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) No one who has properly reflected upon the tri,,:mentotis subject which is appointed for discussion on Tuesday next, will deny that upon its result may depend the support ur destruction of our most valuable institutions. Instances are, unhappily, now too common of the total overthrow of Governments, and the subversion of soel,ll order, in consequence of a marked determination on the pat t of rulers and senators to resist the advance of civiliza. lion, and the correction of those abuses in civil polity which time and various corruptions have engendered. Hitherto these dire effects have been only observed by us in the distance, but it will be sufficient to quote the borough of Preston as a proof that the British Constitu. lion has not escaped aggression, for a right of voting has there been introduced unknown to our ancestors, solely because in the year 1661 the select corruptiopists of that place chose rather to risk the bane of universal suffrage, than to restore to the inhabitant householders the exercise of their elective franchise. While, however, endeavours are made to correct abuses in the representvive system, it behoves the Legislature with a firm hand to check innovation ; and to accomplish this double o'hject is a desideratum most earnestly to be sought for. The objection urged most frequently, and with the greatest effect, against the question of Reform is, that its supporters have no defined plan by which they propose to effect their amendmen s, but this difficulty is wholly ob viated, provided the reformwion extend only to the cor rection of abuses. Having just satisfied ourselves that the British Constitution in its theoretical purity, is one of the most perfect systems of human laws (and which is so universally acknowledged that further illustration of it wou'd be a work of supererogation); it only remains for us to trace out the original form of Parliamentary represen tation, and taking that as our guide, to assimilate the pre sent to the ancient form as far as circumstances will permit. In Granville's Reports (pp. 107 and 142), which are considered the highest authority extant on Parliamentary and Constitutional law, it is expressly stated, that, of com mon right, all inhabitants, householders, and residents within boroughs ought to have voice in the election of Members to Parliament, and Mr. Justice Blackstone re cognizes the same principle in his valuable commentaries. By Stat. Ist Hen. 5, cap. 1., which was confirmed by the 23(1 Hen. 7,6, cap. 14., it was ordained that the citizens and burgesses of cities and boroughs should be chosen by men, citizens and burgesses resiant, dwelling and free in the same cities and boroughs and no othen. Thus the original form of representation is plainly dig ceruible, and it was not till the Act of 14 Geo. 111. c 58, was past, that any inroad was made upon it by the Legislature. By that Act, however, the statutes Ist Henry V. and 23 Henry VI. were repealed, by which means the numerous abuses which had already sprung up in various boroughs throughout the country were sanc tioned, and numerous other necessarily concomitant evils of non-resider.ce speeedily defiled the fair face of the Constitution. A simple repeal, therefore, of the statute 14 Geo. 111. , and the re-enactment of the let Henry V., or the passing an Act a little more explanatory, would effect one most essential Reform. Our attention is then directed to those places which have grown into such magnitude and importance as to en title them to send Members to Parliament, and again also to others which have been accustomed to return 'Members, but where the inhabitants have become so reduced 'in number as to render their continuing to exercise the elec tive franchise not only unjust, but inconvenient, to the public. With reference to such cases we cannot more faith tully pourtray the ancient working of the o, nstitutinn, than by quoting the words of the Learned Commentator to whom we have before alluded. In page 173, vol. 1, he saws " As for the electors of citizens and burgesses, these are supposed to be the mercantile part or trading interest of the kingdom. But as trade is of a fluctuating nature, and seldom long fixed in a place, it was formerly la* ," the Crown to summon, pro re nata, the most flourishing towns to send representatives to Parliament. So that as towns increased in trade, and grew populous, they were admitted to a share in the Legislature." The process de scribed by the Learned Judge was admirably calculated to preserve the elasticity of the Constitution, and, had it been duly exercised, would in a great measure have pre vented the numerous evils which we now deplore ; but the misfortune was, as he too truly observ e d, that the de serted boroughs continued to be summoned, as well as those to whom their trade and inhabitants were transferred ; and, he might have added, the King, for particular rea sons, neglected to summon many large arid populous towns, which, from their great increase in trade and population, were entitled to be admitted to a share in the Legislature. Another great object of Reform, then, must be to re store this elastic principle, and, as it is clear, that the power over it, by being vested in the Crown, is liable to abuse, it will be no great departure from the w'erlona of our ancestors, and in fact will more accord with the spirit of the Constitution, looking to the altered circumstances of the country, if the regulation of this important process is vested in the three Estates, instead of the Crown alone. At the time this great prerogative was conferred upon our Kings the feudal system prevailed throughout the count, y, awl so powerful were the Barons in many parts, that the kingly dignity was frequently trampled under foot. It was necessary, therefore, in order to preserve that just equi librium, which is the very essence of our Constitution, that the King's hands should be strengthened as much as possible; but these reasons no longer exist. The King, although possessed of less apparent power, because his pre rogative is less arbitrarily exercised, has, in truth, by the vast increase of wealth and power throughout iris domis nione, an l the consequent distribution of patronage, and, above all, by his total independence of the aristocracy, who at present derive their lustre almost wholly from hint, an immense accession of strength to his office. The duration of Parliaments now only remains to be al luded to; and on this point there is also little difficulty in ascertaining the ancient practice. In early times Parlia ments were summoned as often as the affairs of the nation required their assembling, and, as their discussions rarely extended over one Session, they were dissolved inime diately afterwards. When the business of the country in creased, it became necessary to summon them every year, and there can be no doubt that formerly Parliaments were annual. It is unnecessary to refer to the long Pali merits held in the time of Charles the First and Cromo en, be cause they were clear usurpations, sad we 'therefore de scend to the more settled times of the Restoration. About this period many debates arose concerning the proper duration of Parliaments, some panic, being de sirous of retaining the ancient mode of returning represen tatives annually; but, as it, was generally admitted that the constantly-recurring ferments of elections tended only to create disorder in the country, without producing any proportionate advantage, the Statute of 6th William and Mary was passed, which declared that front thence farth Parliaments sliould be held once in three }ears at the least. This Statute was unfortunately repealed by the Statute of Ist Geo. 1., c. 38. which directed that all Parliaments should thenceforth have continuance for seven years, unless sooner dissolved by the King, It is much to be regretted that the latter Statute was ever allowed to come into operation ; and as the principal reason assigned in the preamble for its necessity has long since ceased, viz. " that a restless and Popish faction was designing and en deavouring to renew rebellion within the kingdom," it ought ere this to have been erased from the Statute-b iok. From the foregoing remarks it may be concluded that f simple restoration be kept in view the work of Reform lepwsishaearti:ochviratheotubnet a ry ss t i o sta e n x c e e lai tr a f t honest , : :st will be comparativo'y easy.
