And yet, notwithstanding these ac- Med ge d a b uses, notwithstanding, too, that e are expressly forbidden by the Canon Law, 4 1 ,1 n even prohibits them on penalty of excom :cation—a severe punishment, and conse -4119 a striking proof how much they are sup to militate against ecclesiastical dis &ll4---it is only just now, in the year i att after the lapse of GOD knows how 4tl Y c enturies, th a t th e y are p ro p os ed to be Baled by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY ! , toi ev en this remedy would never have been 4,'' e ' et ed, had it not been for the long, loud 1) a ut clamour of the people against the l e „ e 4 in question, —so chary is the Church of ki v , II Perquisites, no matter how acquired, or un• ak e Justly persevered in, so slow to under- O t ,,: ll v en the slightest and most necessary Re. l It is on e s t e p, however, towards im toveo,ti 'lent, t o obtain even an acknowledgment an Archbishop that there are certain por kl,l,°f the eccl e si as tic a l system which might be Iti t i l j altered f or th e b e tt er . A f e w y e ars ago, the reign of the Ultras, the system would it been pronounced perfect ; any proposal revision would have been scouted with tl 'or ati " ; those who supported, as well ac No ' w ho projected it, would have been equally iti ze li P to public execration as bad men and bad 4 ( 1,1 11 ; h and the cry of the " Church in danbgeri ave been raised to alarm the sensi lkli ) , o f the faithful, and induce them to m r°lll )d the sacred establishment, like F ro D i ti ssulmans round the oriflamme of the retest let . But such days, fortunately for the % of the Church, and still more for , ° l r ., t he people, are now past and gone. A 4 liberal and enquiring spirit is abroad, and ittil'isc,elesiastical Reforms projected by the h il/c) P will, we trust, be suffered to proceed 4 " e2 tlY and successful termination. , . ne 1 )4 Reform Bill moved forward through 'orth te mi e last night with a slow, grave dignity of i t 3 cumbrous size. Sir R. PEEL and • lb w W p 4 YIV EREL I. made of course the usual hostility, and, as usual, without effect. e debateable ground of the measure is '4ll p g i Pt over, surely there is nothing that ' 1 1 1 , 41 . - d e vent is mating rapid bead-way hence de.:,'L Already it seems to have bccn of poor ALEXANDER DAWSON, the ' ' fi ti t't eti atl ti patriotic Member for Louth ; has Lords RUSSELL and ALTIIORP ; egs W e dare say, knock up many others, t ' th e e seasonably decided. There is little ttelb 'ate last night to call for notice, unless indeed it be the speeches—for so we suppose we must call those tissues of bad grammar, vulgar egotism, and maudlin self-conceit—of the Hon. Member for Preston, who has at length boldly thrown off the mask, and exhibited himself as the avowed opponent of the Ministerial Bill. But, as Mr. HUME significantly remarked, the opi nions of such a man are not worth attending to. Brussels Papers state that the French army has commenced its retrograde movement, and that the amount of the force that is to remain is not yet known. They also confirm the news of the renewal of hostilities in Flanders by the Dutch. The Allgemeine Zeitung revives the report of the dangerous illness of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and mentions that Warsaw is daily more and more filled with persons concerned in the late insurrec tions ; also, that it is generally rumoured in War saw that negociations with the enemy are on foot : BRUSSKLS, Auc. 27.—The French army has com menced its retrograde movement; a great part of it will immediately return to France ; the two regiments of ca valry which are here form the vanguard of the corps which is to pass through Brussels. Another column is to pass through Namur and Mons to Givet and Valen ciennes. The amount of the force that is to remain is not yet fixed. A letter fram the French head-quarters at Tirlemont, of August 25, says, " We set out to-morrow for Nivelles, our first stage will be Nivelles, our next Wavre, the third will bring us to our destination, where we shall remain till further orders." The memorial in defence of the operations of the army of the Meuse, under the command of General Daine, has been put to press, it will be published on Monday at the latest. The news of the renewal of hostilities in Flanders is confirmed, several letters from St. Nicholas, West Capere, and Ghent, announce the continuation of the inundations, and the measures taken by the Dutch to fortify their posi tions. Colonel Mayard, who commands ad interim our army in Flanders, has sent a flag of truce to the Dutch General, to induce him to put an end to all violation of territory. It was evident the Government was aware of what W,19 passing, and that General Belliard was to proceed to the spot to use his kind intervention. GHENT, Ana. 26.—A letter from West Capelle of the 24th August says—" Yesterday Captain Vermeulen, of Bruges, left the Camp Leopold with the piece of artillery which be has employed with so much success against our enemies. All our means of defence are withdrawn from the points most threatened by the Dutch, who continue to fortify themselves mare and inure ; in fact reinforcements have arrived at St. Anne, and at L'Ecluse. Above 300 men are employed in erecting new batteries, whence we may soon hear the sound of a thousand cannon. Our draw bridge is guarded by only fifteen men, the rest of the gar rison is concentrated in the village, where a howitzer and la six-pounder are carefully guarded, which we fear will be taken from us like that from Camp Leopold, where ar tillery is indispensable. At the camp of Haezegens, it is true, five cannon with their powder waggons have been kept ; but, instead of increasing the number of the troops, though a gun-boat has approached our batteries since yesterday morning, wefar it will be reduced by one company. An account from Watervliet announces that the Dutch, who had began to let the water of the inundation about the Capitalen Dam flow off, have just renewed the inun dation this morning. The cannon were fired in the di rection of our sluices. ANTWERT, Ana. 26.—The Government of the pro vince of Antwerp invites the proprietors of land in the Polders of Beerendrecht and Santsvliet to attend at the Hall of the Government of Antwerp, on the 31st of August, in the morning, to deliberate on the measures which the situation of those soldiers absolutely calls for, and on the means of carrying them into effect. General Chasse detained the day before yesterday three barges laden with coals which were bound to Antwerp, and had them unloaded at the citadel ; he, however, paid the price of the coals. POLISH FRONTIERS, AUG. 10.—The connection which the Russians have in Warsaw enable them to learn all the intended measures of the Polish General, and to act ac cordingly. Thus, General Paskewitsch was informed a few days ago, that a considerable corps of Polish troops was to go to Cracow to organise the Landsturm, and to take measures for forming a fortified camp by way of precaution, in case the Polish army should be obliged to leave the vici nity of Warsaw. To defeat this plan a corps of 8,000 men of General Rudiger's army immediately received or ders to pass the Upper Vistula, to march towards Cracow, and to hinder the Poles from taking a firm position in the territory of that republic. In fact, a Russian corps tinder General Tbielmann, is on its march to Cracow, where it expects to arrive in a few days. The Commissariat ser vice of the Russian army, which is mostly conducted by Prussian contractors, is more regular than ever. There is great abundance of bread, wine, meat, vegetables, and brandy, as well as forage, and the appearance of the Rus sian troops is described in all the accounts in the most advantageous terms. In the Polish army, on the contrary, there is the greatest economy, amid the soldiers receive but small rations. The more commendable, therefore, is their discipline, since amidst all the hardships of war they are satisfied with the little that the nation can give for their subsistence. . It is reported at Warsaw that the Emperor of Russia was seriously ill, and that there were but faint hopes of his ' recovery. This news was received with much interest and regret, a feeling which, especially at the present mo ment, does honour to the character of a high-minded people worthy of a better fate, which honours the personal qualities of the Emperor, with whom it is at war. The alarm that was excited by the news of the advance of the enemy towards Warsaw seems to have latterly sub sided, which may he partly owing to the calmness of the General and the Government, and to a much talked of letter from a prisoner of influence at St. Petersburgh, which held out great hopes of an amicable arrangement. The scarcity of ready money, however, is more and more sensibly felt at Warsaw, and causes a general stagnation of business. Many houses which have hitherto weathered the storm are said to be in imminent danger. Citacow, Auc. 14.—The advance of the Russians to the Upper Vistula has broken off our communications with Warsaw. We hear a great deal of regociations an nounced in well-informed circles as being actually on foot, and by which a last and undoubtedly dreadful slaughter would be prevented. Our city is daily more and more filled with persons concerned in the insurrection. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. Our arrivals this morning are very scanty : the only one wort!' mentioning is from Bombay, of the 10th April, which brings nothing of consequence. Great excitement prevails in regard to the two seventy-fours being in the Downs, in which troops are embarked. As their destination is not known, various are the conjectures on the subject. By the debates in the House of Commons last night it appears that the British claims on the Belgian Government are going to be enforced, and for which a reinforcement has been sent Out : this is no snore than what the French and American Govern ments have done. THE FUNI)S. which left off yesterday at 81;i, opened at the The Consol Market is rather lan g uid at present, and little sdateg.priCceo,nasit continue so at present. Brazil stock is lower.

Up to the present hour we have no political intelligence of consequence to relate, but every thing in the City appears dull, and the Fluids have been very sickly during the w h o l e of the morn og. Consols have fluctuated from 81% down to for the account; the Money Market has been very heavy, apd raoney scarce. The Foreign Market is void of interest.

The KING arrived this day at ten minutes past two o'clock at St. James's Palace from Windsor, escorted by a party of Lancers. His MAJESTY travelled in a close carriag e alone. It was expected that the QUEEN and the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR, her AIAJESTY'S sister, would have ac companied the KING, but owing to the weather they did not leave the Palace. . His MAJEST;Tfierwards held a Levee, which was nu merously attended. A Privy Council was also held in the Painted Chamber. A Cabinet Council will be held at the Foreign-office this evening. There were no arrivals at the Colonial or Foreign-offices this morning. We are sorry to announce that the Lady Sherbrooke, from Londonderry to Quebec, with 273 pas sengers and crew, was lost on Moor Island, and, melan choly to relate, only 32 people were saved. Thus 241 persons met with a watery grave. It is said to be in contemplation of Govern ment to take all turnpike trusts in the kingdom under their own hands.—County Chronicle. CITY TIIEATRE.—ELLEN TREE took her benefit on Monday night, and had, what she so eery well deserves, a complete bumper. The entertainments were well chosen and as well sustained. Amongst those present were—Lady GREY and party, Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Marquis of HERTFORD, Lord and Lady MULGRAVE and party, Lady BROUGHAM and party, Marquis of WOR CESTER, Earl WILTON ; Lord TULLAMORE, KINNAIRD, ROKEBY, DE Roos, ALVANLY, GLENGALL ; Hon. Mrs. MONTAGUE, Hon. Mr. GREVILLE, Colonel BARRINGTON, Mr. DALLAS, Captain HARRINGTON, &c. Last night a Mr. Moss made his appearance in Sir Giles Ocesrearh, and acquitted himself in a respectable manner. Mr. JAMES VINING gave greater importance to the part of Welborn than is sometimes imparted to it ; and BUCK STONE evinced talent in Mar-all which we did not suspect this agreeable performer to possess. MR. COBBETT AND THE REPRESENTA TION OF MANCHESTER.—A letter from Mr. JAMES HowIE, of Manchester, to Mr. CORBETT, has been pub lished, in which he says, "As Chairman of a Committee formed in this town for the purpose of taking the neces sary steps to secureyour return to Parliament as Member for Manchester, at the first election that shall occur after the passing of the Reform Bill, I am-charged with the gratifying duty of informing you, that the Committee have taken steps to ascertain the feeling of the town, and that the result of a ♦ery partial canvas has been so flattering to their hopes as to determine them at once that you shall be put in nomination." • The state of crime throughout the country is said to have lately undergone a new and appalling change. Of highway robberies, burglaries, and other species of theft, there appears to have teen on the different circuits a marked diminution ; but in place of these, offences against nature, and other outrages of new and unparal leled atrocity, attend the march of criminal justice, and give a character to our population from which it had hitherto been exempt. Two off cers of the Kensington, American corvette, ha‘re thought proper to take offence for what they conceived to be a slight passed upon them, while on a visit of inspection on board the Caledonia. It appears these gentlemen went on board the Caledonia in plain clothes, and sent up their cards to the quarter-deck. The Lieu tenant of the watch being busy in refitting the ship, and observing they were not in uniform, handed their cards to a Midshipman, who was desired to show the gentlemen round the ship. Conceiving, we presume, that an officer of their own rank should have accompanied them, they subsequently sent a letter to the Lieutenant of the watch, demanding satisfaction ; this reached the Commander—the Commander handed it to Captain Cunzos, by whom it was given to the Admiral (Sir E. CODRINGTON), w ho very properly enclosed it in a letter to the Admiralty.— The two American officers have since bad an interview with Captai❑ CuazoN, and wished to withdraw their letter, but it was too late. That they should have taken umbrage at what they conceived to be a want of courtesy we the more regret from the circumstance of their having shown the greatest attention to English visiters—an atten tion returned by the Yacht Club gentlemen and other visiters at Cowes. —Hampshire Telegraph. We are informed, on pretty good authority, that the present gross income of the Liverpool and Man chester Railway is about 200,0001. per annum, and that the Company may have expended in warehouses, engines, &c., up to this time, 1,000,000/. ; gross income 200,0001. ; deduct the expencea of management, and they are upon a complete and effective, but upon a very expensive scale, say 70,000/. ; balance 130,0001., for the interest of 1,000,0001., or 13 per cent. Suppose the Sheffield and Manchester road may cost 600,0001., and that its income may be 80,000/., that its management may cost 25,0001. ; balance 55,0001., for the interest of 600,0001., or 9 per cent. —Sheffield Courant. On Thursday a dinner was given at MORRI SON'S to entertain the new Tory Members. The Dublin Evening Mail says upwards of 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Mr. MooLE, the ex-member, in the chair. The same Paper enumerates the respectable portion of the com pany in nine lines, thus :—The RECORDER, Loan MAYOR elect, Sir T. WHELAN, the Right Hon. W. SAURIN, Sir H. BROOKE, Captain CorrrrictrA3l, Sir R. SHAW, Rev. C. BOYTON, Mr. FLOOD, Sir G. Ricir, Lord IrrnEsTarE, Mr. GREGORY, Lord COLE, Hon. Mr. PLUNKETT, Mr. LAMBERT, Colonel BLACKER, Mr. SNEYD, Mr. HENCHY, 1114j0r ALEXANDER, Rev. Mr. 13ErtiEseoan, Mr. EccLEs, Mr. R. GREGORY, Major ECCLES, Rev. 0. MOORS, Rev. Mr. GREGORY, &c. There were also present several members of the Board of Aldermen, Sheriffs, Peers, &c. This, to any one who remembers what the ascendancy dinners were used to be, was a ragged set, indeed, in every respect—rank, numbers, and intellifence. Among the toasts drunk in solemn silence by this ultra-loyal body, were—" The King,"-- ,, Th e Queen,"—" The Princess Victoria ;" and then (mark the contrast),—" The Duke of Cumberland, and the rest of the Royal Family"—Nine times nine. It would appear by the private letters from Cronstadt, of the Bth instant, that the cholera morbus has nearly subsided there, or at least that the disease is now attended by symptoms far less acute than when it first spread in the place, and is less fatal in its consequences. In a population of 20,000, about 115 were at one time dying every day ; but the number of deaths had consi derably diminished by the beginning of August. In some cases, the symptoms were not unlike those which are ex hibited in certain cases of poison. This. it appears, led to rumour among the lower classes that Polish agents were going about the place, administering poison to the inha bitants. A great popular excitement appears to have been produced by this strange notion, and disturbances broke ont, which the military had some difficulty in quelling. In one of the letters it is stated that milk, which ge nerally acts as an antidote to arsenic, has been admi niste;ed to patients supposed to be afflicted with cholera, and that it was productive of the same effects precisely as in the cases of poisoning with that mineral In many other instances, however, convulsions and death have been the consequences of taking milk. Trade suf fered great injury, both in Cronstadt and St. Petersburg'', from the precations taken to check the progress of the cholera. Most of the houses and counting-houses were still closed at the date of the last advices ; but it was hoped that in a few days the restrictions would be les sened.— Times. The Sussex Advertiser says, we learn from Horsham, that the atrocious culprit JOHN HOLLOWAY, horrified by the recollection of his own iniquities, is now in a state of raving madness. Monday night some inhuman wretch cut the tongue out of a little pony, the property of a very poor man of the name of AIuLuEN, who lives in Cashel.—Limerick Post. SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—On Sunday last a melancholy occurrence took place at the residence of Lady MARY LAKF, No. 11, Earl's-terrace, Kensing ton. It appears that a female domestic to her Ladyship, named AIARTIIA WILLIA3ts, about 2.1 years of age, was seduced a short time since, by a tradesman, who is father of a family, li v i ng i n the same neighbourhood. The young woman was pregnant, and, a few days before Sun day, proceeded to town, and teturned with a phial full of tincture of colchicum, for the purpose, as it is supposed, of causing abortion. On Sunday morning the family was much alarmed by the sudden manner in which the young woman was seized with a violent fit of retching, and a corresponding relaxation of the bowels, which was mis taken for en attack of the cholera. Iter Ladyship's me dical attendant, Air, GARIUC/ i i was called in; when, on searching the bed-room, an empty phial was found, in which were discovered the dregs of the tincture alluded to. The young woman died in the course of that day. On a post naortem examination it was ascertained that the un fortunate creature was six weeks enceinte, and that her death was occasioned by a large dose of the tincture. An inquest was held at the Kensington 4rtns, before Mr. STra.r.m:, when the above facts were elicited, and a ver dict in accordance with them was rettgaed. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

A conference of the Ministers of the five Great Powei was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the French, Russian. and Austrian Ambas sadors, the Prussian llinis•er, the Russian and Austrian Envoys Extraordinary, and Viscount PaLmERSTON. The Netherlands Minster, on a special mission, and the Belgian ;Minister, were at the Foreign-office during the time that the conference was held. The conference lasted an hour and a half. Previous to attending the conference, Prince TA LLEY RAND, the French Ambassador, accompanied by a gentle man who has ifrrived from Paris with despatches for his Excellency, visited Earl GREY, at the Treasury, and had an interview with the Noble Earl. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday morning at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the Mat quim of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, ViSCOUntS MELBOURNE, PAL MERSTON, and ALTHORP, the Earl of CARLISLE, the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord HOLLAND, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Duke of RICH MOND, and Mr. STANLEY. The Council sat in deliberation upwards of two hours. Viscount GODERICH was prevented by illness from attend ing the Council. His Lordship has been indisposed during the last few days, at his seat at Wimbledon. The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Council Office, to make arrangements for the Coronation of their MAJESTIES. There were present the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of LONDON, the Loma CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, the Earl of CAR LISLE, Viscount ALTHORE, Viscount MELBOURNE, the Marquis of CHOLMONDELET, Lord PLUNKETT, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Vice-Chancellor, the Comptroller of the Household, and the Duke or RICHMOND.

Mr. GREVILLE attended as Clerk of the Council. Mr. WASHINGTON IRVINE, Charge d'Affaires from the United States, transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The LORD CHANCELLOR. visited Viscount ALTHORr yesterday at the Treasury. A portion of the seats in the vaultings of Westminster Abbey have been appropriated to the benefit of the gentle men of the Choir for the Coronation. CHELTENHAM, AUG. 29.—Our illustrious visiter, the Grand Duchess 'lemma, rides out generally every day. Her Highness visited Sudeley Castle on Friday, and has taken an airing this day on the road to Malvern. Her Highness still continues at the Plough. The Montpelier Gardens were opened this afternoon for a musical promenade. The band played in the Pagoda for two hours. A numerous and fashionable company honoured the performance with their presence. The first dress ball at the Rotunda takes place this evening. The company at the Wells in the morning is now more numerous than it has been before this season ; indeed, a larger attendance than for the last three or four years. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGHAM RACES —YESTZIIn,ir. The promised visit of the King and Queen had a marked effect on the attendance—in number as well as fashion it far exceeded any thing of the kind ever seen on Runny mede, and rivalled some of the most celebrated days of Ascot or Doncaster. For several days previous to the races, Egham, Staines, &c. were on the qui vice, and ex tensive preparations were made to afford sufficient accom modation not only to the Royal visiters, but to those of a less dignified character; notwithstanding this, the demand for lodgings and stabling was infinitely greater than the most sanguine could have looked far, insomuch that vast numbers were unable to procure standing fur their horses or beds for themselves. On the race-course measures were promptly taken by Mr. Borelding to provide for the recep tion of their Majesties ; the Steward's Stand was removed from Ascot, and placed within a few yards of the winning chair, a space being allotted for the Royal servants, and another spot for the carriages of subscribers; in other re spects the arrangements were liberal and judicious. Long before the commencement of the races the crowd assem bled on the course was immense, that part of it appropri ated to the running being literally covered ; the stands filled speedily, especially Jenner's Betting Stand, which was thronged with sporting gentlemen of all classes, from the patrician member of the J. C. downwards. Shortly before two o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester arrived at the Royal Stand, and in a short time were followed by their Majesties in an open phaeton and four, with a few out-riders ; in the same car riage were the Laudgravine of Hesse Homberg, and the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. The remainder of the Royal party occupied five open carriages and four ; the principal members of the suite were her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Augusta ; their Serene Highnesses the Duchesses of saze-Weimar and daughters, Saxe Meiningen, and the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen ; Earl of Albemarle, Lord Clinton, Lord Errol, Lord Adolphus Fitaclarence, Sir A. Barnard, Sir W. Freemantle, Rev. Mr. Wood, Colonel Thornton, &c. Their Majesties were received with lively demonstrations of respect, and entered with great affa bility into the afternoon's amusements. Oa their depar ture the cheers of the spectators were enthusiastic. The crowded state of the ground prevented our collecting so full a list of the fashionables as we could have wished. We can only furnish the following names:—Marquis Graham, Earl Jersey, Earl of Uxbridge, Count Bathiany, Earl Mountcharles, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of March, Lord Villiers, Lord W. Lennox, Lord James Fitzroy, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Mulgrave; Hon. General Grosvenor, Hon. E. Petre ; Col. Russell, Sir Mark Wood, Sir Lewyn Glyn, Colonel Udny, Col. Chaloner, Major Gore, Captain Byng, Captain Grant, Mr. Scott Stone hewer, Hon. Berkeley Craven, Mr. Moberly, Capt. Bulke ley, Captain G. Buikeley, Mr. De Burgh, Mr. Gibbons, &c. We were surprised to observe that neither Sir R. Birnie, Townsend, or Sayers, were in attendance on their Majesties; in their absence the duties usually attached to the station of those parties were efficiently performed by Mr. Capes of Windsor. The weather was favourable, and the sport, without being by any means first-rate, sufficiently good to give general satisfaction. We subjoin such particulars as the nature of the racing requires.

REFORM AT BRISTOL. 1. 'Ts ►er► TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,— I am not surprised at seeing in your Paper, that a ceitain Member should say in the House a Commons,. hit the Reform fever in this city was subsiding. Front whom Le got his information I cannot devise, unless he made it. . The citizens are quite disgusted at the conduct of most ,rf those who have impeded the progress of the Bil. But when they belie the opinion of those, who so nob'y rejected the late Richard Hart Davies, for saying that Brisfal wanted no Reform, they are really going be)old the line of common honesty. Let Sir C. W. offer himself at the next election, and try what influence his Alderman's gowu and Recordership into the bargain will do fur him. If he get returned then I am no longer Bristol, Aug. 29. A BRISTOLIAN. REFORM BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,- The slow progess of the Reform Bill, together with its objectionable clauses and alterations, has caused a deep feeling of indignation throughout this county. The boroughmongers have, by their factious opposition to the first symptoms of an honest Government, so com pletely opened the eyes of the people, that they will never rest satisfied without a thorough Reform in both Church and State. It is thus, that " tyranny destroys itself." A Church Reform in time, would have mitigated the evils of Ireland, awl would have prevented a good deal of sectarian ill blood in England. Bet now, the meanest capacity can perceive the impolicy, if not the impiety, of keeping up a State Church, when its members form a wo ful minority of the community. Stone walls in Gatton and Old Sarum cease to have re presentatives, and it would be well for Parliament Bishops and Magisterial Priests to take the hint. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. A NORTHERN FREEHOLDER. York, Aug. 29. TO THE EDIT OR OF THE SUN. StR,-Knowing that you take a deep interest in know ing what is the impression in the srruntry on the subject of the Bill now before the House of Commons for a Reform in the representation of the people, I beg to inform yon that a committee has been sitting in this town from the time of its first introduction intu the House; and that we ri admire the very able manner in which you advocate its d principles, and explain and expatiate upon the alterations .1 made in it, as it " drags its slow length along" through .r 4 the Committee ; but the people here begin to despair, and .4 say it is only something to gull them with. We hope, how- ever, better things ; and should it be thrown out, mischief, I am afraid, will inevitably ensue, and who can tell where . • it will end ? To avert such deplorable consequences, we are now preparing a petition, to be presented to the House of Lords, setting forth the evils the country n labouring under in consequence of the delay that has already taken place, and praying that the House will pass the Bill with all the expedition which will be consistent with its forms. And we would suggest, through your widely circulated Paper, the propriety of every county, pity, and town in the kingdom petitioning the House to the sane effect, which will at least convince the opponents of the measure that no reaction has taken place on this subject i❑ the minds and determinations of the people. Frome, 27th August, 1831. T. R. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sift,—As your ♦aluable and independent Journal stands pre-eminent with the public in advocating the cause of Reform, I presume the following information and remarks will obtain an insertion in its columns. At a meeting of the Friends of Reform, held in this town a few days since, and during a discussion on the all. important measure—the Reform Bill, considerable con• tempt was expressed at the conduct of Hon. Members of the House of Commons (who profess to be suppor tees of it) for delaying its pragress by introducing vexatious petitions, and urging inquiries into various other affairs that have no relation to it, thereby embarrassing the Government, and affording an opportunity for a factious Opposition to impede, and by possibility, for the present, to defeat it altogether. As the majority of the Members of the House of Commons were returned at the last election for the avowed purpose of promptly disposing of the great national question of Reform, on which every minor paint valets lated to improve the state of the country depcnds for its proper adjustment, we apprehend much of the connience hitherto reposed in them will be forfeited. We would caut;on such Non. Members to be on their guard—the watchful. ness of the people is truly astonishing : not only are the middle classes of society acquainted with the daily proceed ings of the legislature, the bumble mechanic and even the labourer of the country, from a long course of poverty and oppression, have been stimulated to a spirit of in quiry ; they have acquired considerable political know ledge, and pay a corresponding attention to passing events. On the respect paid to this knowledge, or, in other words, the opinions of the many, rests not only the peace of the country, but the stability of Government itself; in short, the minds of the people are buoyed up with the expectation that only a Reformed Parliament can speedily reduce taxa tion, by expelling from the House of Commons place hunting political speeulators, and tax-eating representa tives, whose object has been for many years so to direct the affairs of Government, as to give them an opportunity to provide for themselves and their dependents at the puhite expence. The jaded expectation of an impoverished and disappointed yetunaury, a degraded and suffering peasantry, it is too iustly to be feared will pet moat a frightful prospect at the approach of winter, if something is not done to afford relief, as an earnest of the sincerity Pi those respon sible persons who are delegated by the country to protect its interests.* Already the midnight incendiary has begun his terrific) exploits in the eastern part of this county. We trust it will serve as a memento of the awful crisis which threatened to devastate the country at the close of the last year, when the infatuated and antiquated Tory party retro compelled to yield the reins of Government from their inability to conduct public affairs, and who have lately been endeavouring to betray the present Ministrry by involving them in foreign political contention. The good sense of all honest Reformers should induce them to attend to the one thing needful—the Reform Bill, the rights arid liberties of our country--before foreign affairs are allowed to claim their attention. When our own national liberty is secured on a substantial basis, then shall we be respected by the nations of Europe, and bid defiance to the despots who rnle and enslave them. Our set-girt Isle, protected by a bald and intrepid navy, will secure to us a position in the political world unknown, in point of true greatness even in the proudest days of Britain's glory. Rye, August 28. A REFORMER. • Two fires nave taken place within the last week.—one at Guestling. near Hastings, and considerable property destroyed; anothv.; at lioxeham, near Hato, equally destructive ;in both ' ea:ea the work of incendiaries, some of whom hare been appre- I betided and committed for trial at the Lewes AFYISCS. NEWSPAPERS.—By a new arrangement at the Post-office, newspapers will be returned, in all cases where the parties to whom they are directed cannot be found, to the parties transmitting them. It will be neces sary, of course, that newavenders should print their res pective addresses on the covers. In the parish of Flitton, by the recommenda tion of Lord GkANTIIAII, the plan has been tried of divid ing a whole farm into small allotments among the poor of that pariah. We are happy to state that it has, after a year's trial, been found to answer" adnairably.—Hertford Press. Within a circuit of ten miles round Edin hugh, fully two-thirds of the crops have yielded to the harvest sickle, and so favourable is the present resplen dent sun and the unclouded moon for the process, that already the corn ricks are making a formidable appearance in the barn yards. —Scotsman. MARC/ATE, AuG. 28.—The influx of coin p:ny yesterday was prodigious. About 1,300 persons came down by the steam-packets ; the Maykat bad 350 on board, including the Lord and Lady Mayoress and a party. It is to be regretted that funds cannot be found to provide for the employment of one or two gardeners to look after the new enclosure in St. James's Park, which, for want of common care, is suffering very materially. There is not a single resident Peer in the county of Clare, sad it is therefore thought Sir EDWARD O'BRIEN, Gr Sir AUGUSTUS EITROIRALD, will be the Lord Lietnant. —Limerick Chronicle.
