om. Then to the American war, in which thi kitigliorn was disgraced, that our colonies might be oppressed, and a Minister, who deserved impeach ment, was supported by the baseness of the borough representation. He finishes, by a sketch of the mangement to which the last war with 'evolutionary and imperial France was subjected, and of the dread ful waste of life, treasure, and reputation incurred through the miscarriages of a borough-fed and ineffi cient Cabinet. Some passages from Lord Coiling wood upon the borough-blight of the Thitish navy, under Lords Barham and Mu!grave, will amuse and edify our readers. We recommend them to the es. pecial attention of all your " work-well" not ;omen, who will soon be called upon, we trty.t, to declare their sentiments on the Bill about to be seat up to them from the House of Commo•,s. " I am now, he it remembered, fighting the Anti-re formers on their own ground ; t am trying the question at issue between us by the tffects of the present system of re presentation; I have brought forward as my evidence the state of parties during the life of Marlborough,—during the reign of George IL, as narrated by Walpole,—the ma nagement of the American war,—the management of the Peninsular war,—and the Walcheren expedition ; I now proceed to consider the manner in which the naval affairs were managed, and this point I will try on the evidence of Cullingwood,—an authority that no man, I presume, will venture to challenge ; and I wish to direct particular at tention to his evidence, because it so strongly and decidedly• shows the pernicious working of the borough system, and proves how little the recommendation of the ablest men, or the most important interests of the country, are of avail, when opposed to the influence of the borough proprietors. His interesting memoirs are replete with instances how often the Ministry were obliged to confide power to un worthy hands,—how often the claims of merit were post poned to these of interest, and how lamentably the best interests of the country suffered in consequence. Writing from Cadis, in October, 1798, to Captain Ball, he says, But for the consciousness that I did not deserve degrada tion from, any hand, and that my good estimation would not be depreciated in the minds of honourable men by the caprice of power, I should have died with indignation. I am tired of it.'• " After the victory of Trafalgar, he than writes to Lord Barham, the then First Lord of the Admiralty I beg to express my earnest hope that your Lordship will take into consideration the peculiar circumstances of the late action, in which as much gallantry was displayed by the fleet, and a powerful armament of the enemy ruined, in as short a time as in any action ; but what distinguished it from all others is, that the usual reward to the Captain., ari.ing from the sale of prizes, is almost all lost by the wreck and destruction of the ships. What Government may please to do in this respect for the fleet, I cannot say, but none was ever more worthy of its regard. To the officers—among whom are many young men who are qualified for Lieutenants--the most grateful reward would be promotion ; and if your Lordship would enable me to dispense it to them, by commissioning the four ships, and • appointing the officers serving in this fleet, I should feel exceedingly gratified in having it in my power to reward so much merit as is now before me.'- " Now, if ever there could be a case made out to com mand the attention of the Admiralty, this was one ; the victory had been the most signal ever achieved by the British navy ; the usual reward, arising from sale of prizes, had been lost to the Captains, and the commandine officer strongly expressed the propriety of rewarding the officers by promotion. " On the Sth of November, Lord Barham t informed Admiral Collingwood that he had sent him a commission of the same extent as Lord Nelson's and then he observes, On the subject of promotion, I will endeavour to comply with your request, though, in one instance, not regular ; and in order to prevent disappointment to individuals, 1 must beg that you will strictly conform to the rules laid down by the Admiralty, by which they leave deaths and Court-martial vacancies to the commanding officer, and re- serve all others to themselves. lam the more particular on these subjects, because the neglect of them has created much disappointment to individuals, as well as to their friends here. I shall trouble you, through my Secretary. with a list of such persons as I wish to fill the Admiralty vacancies.' " It should be observed, as the date shows, that this letter of Lord Batham's is not the reply to that of Lord Collingwood given above, 'but there can be little doubt that the substance of Collingwood's first communication was the same as that contained in his letter of November 15 ; and the point to which I wish to direct attention is this—that the Admiralty could not comply with Lord Collingwood's wishes, even on such an ortasion as this, because they felt it necessary to reserve vacancies to be filled up by themselves ; its other words, because the claims of Parliamentary influence were greater than those of the heroes of Trafalgar. So much for the way in which naval merit was rewarded under the present system. " In 1806, Collingwood thus complains of the negli gence of the Admiralty, and their neglect of himself : " I never hear from England; the Admiralty seem to have so much busine-s on their quarters that they cannot attend tome Every body seems to rejoice at our battle, and my good fortune, snore than the Ministers; they were very tardy in proposing the thanks to the fleet, and nothing can be more neglectful than the Admiralty have been. I have not made an officer, except in the death vacancies; nor, indeed, have they written to me these three months, except one short one, desiring me to account for all my prisoners. They ought to be content; for I defy any one to devote himself snore to the service than I do, for I spare neither body nor mind.' Again, be writes to Lord Radstock It is a very odd practice. that of giving vessels which are fitting tither to inexpe rienced boys, or to old creatures who have almost for gotten what a ship is . . I see the names of some very ind;fferent young men in the promotion, who never go to sea without meeting some mischief, for want of common knowledge and care; every three brigs that come here, commanded by these boys, require a dock-yard; In 1808 he writes to Lord Mulgrave....' It is certain your Lordship cannot know many of tho-e gentlemen who are recommended by their friends ; one of them is turned off the quarter-deck for some unofficerlike behaviour.' " Such was the wretched system pursued by the Ad miralty--a system for which individuals were not EO much to blame; because, as long as the representation conti nues in its present state, it is impossible that any Ministry could remain in office that acted on other principles. It was long ago said by Mr. Pitt, that, without a reformed Parliament, no honest man could he Minister of England. " When, then, the Anti-Reformers talk of the rffi tiency and vigour of our councils with Parliaments as at present constituted, I must dissent from their conclusions, because I find them at variance with historical facts. Our commerce bas flourished, owing to the spirit of our mer chants ; our arms have been crowned with victory, owing to the bravery of oar troops and sailors, and the skill of our commanders; but this flourishing state of trade, and their glorious deeds, have certainly not been the result of our close borough system. " If, during the Peninsular waft, Ministers of abilities, commensurate to the crisis, had filled the offices of State— if those Ministers hall been unshackled by Parliamentary cabals, and had been free to pursue whwever measures they deemed most conducive to the public weal—can any one doubt that the Duke of Wellington would have been enabled to take much more decided steps for the expulsion of the French from the Peninsula, and that the contest might have been brought to a touch eatlier termination ? The object of this Reform Bill is to remove this incubus of Parliamentry influence which now oppresses the nation and paralyzes the free action of the executive Government; it is to liberate the Crown and the aristocracy, as well as the people, from the shackles of Parliamentary influence, and to restore the state to health and vigour. " If we turn to the domestic polities of this country for the last sixteen years, how little reason shall we perceive to admire the workings of the present system ! and cer tainly we shall to where find proofs of that vigour on the part of the Ministers we are taught to expect. Have nut the financial measures of that period been one tissue of compromises between different interests? Ever since the end of the war there have been projects on poor laws— projects for paying off the national debt—projects for im proving our financial system—projects for ameliorating Ireland ; but, beyond projects, we have had nothing. Why, but because the Ministry had not that energy and power, without which no Ministry can hops to carry any plans into execut i on ? W hy, b ut b ecause t h e Mi n i s • er h as be en placed in art unnatural position between the interests of borough proprietors on the one hand, and the increased knowledge and intelligence of the age on the other? They have the sy s t em t h at succe , de y d have been attempting to adapt under Queen Anne and the two first Georges to the altered state of affairs at the present day, and their failure has been no less signal than might have been expected." — Times. The Governments of the principal States on the Continent have, by, their criminal obsequiousness to the inso'ent and ferocious spirit of Russian ambition, incurred a heavy responsibility to the subjects, who ace visited y the dreadful pestilence which has tracked the barbarians of the no rth in their desoi at- " • Dlernons and Correspondence of Lord Collingwood,' - letitth edition, p. 73. "t' Lord Collingwood fourth edition p. ' ing progress, and which now lays waste so many parts of Europe, and threatens so many more. We do not wonder that this scourge is considered by the people of various countries to be, like the plagues of Egypt, a judicial visitation from Heaven for the at tempted extermination of a whole people, whose only crime is the defence of those rights which they had from God and nature, but Vvhich imperial rob bery had long fixed unqn as its prey. It is likely that the disease called etiolertz morbus—because it resem hies the Indian disease of that rrsktne in some res pect.;--would have worn itte:erf otit in Russia, (where after all that his ben said, there is great reason to believe it was generated,) if it not had been for the aq-ocious invasion of Poland—a country whose inde pendence all the great Powers of Europe had gua ranteed by treaty, and then abandoned it to the wanton and unprincipled violence or that despot who, having received the troWn of this unhappy country as a constitutional Ring, endeavoured to plunder it of every national right, and to reduce it to the most degrading subjection to his arbitrary will. But the barbarian power s which the nations that pre tend to be in love with the principles of order, and to pay a great regard to the faith of treaties, allowed to direct its whole collected force againtit the existence of Poland, has let loose aft.r . :9 in Europe that seems armed indeed with a 'commission to destroy. If the rulers and their minions who have brought this ta lamity upon the nations were only to suffer it would be well; but, alas I the peeplt who are not par takers of their crime ere involved in their punish ment. In this world the innocent frequently suffer for the misdeeds of the guilty. The infatuation of rulers is the destruction of their people Quicquid delirant regex ult.: 1 01 , 1211r Achivi.7 It is not very hotiourehly 'characteristic of our pre sent House of Commons that, while the merited chastisement which the cruel and dastardly usurper of the throne of Portugal has provoled at the hands of France excites sympathy in the breasts of many of our representatives ; and is made the subject of frequent wailitg, remonstrance, and complaint in Parliament, not a voice is raised to expreas the lan guage of honest indignation at the tefartous conduct of the Autocrat of Russia end his Allies towards the Poles. With the exception of the motion of Colo nel de Lacy Evans—which did him great credit, but which met with no support or sympathy—three has been nothing said in Parliament, that we recollect, on the most licentious and inhinatan violation of the rights of an independent nation of which modern Europe, since: the previous partition of Poland, affords ally example. Yet it is not a generous re :peer for the rights of humanity alone whith should have prompted England and France rather to have coerced the destructive ambition of Russia than to have mischiercu* meddled in the quarrels of Bel gium and Holland ; it would have been for the intePest of both nations to have protected the inde pendence of that kingdom of Poland to whose esta blishment they were contraetiag parties. Poland free, and detached altogether from the sovereignty of the individual who occupies the throne of Russia, would be a strong protection to France against in vasion from that quarter; and to England she would afford those facilities of disposing of her merchandize which a great agricultural and Warlike country pre sents to a manufacturing one. Left within the grasp of Russia, the resources of Poland would facilita'e the invasion of the former, while her territory would, with jealous care, be interdicted "to the mercantile industry of the other. Thus both countries, in abandoning great principles, have abandoned the'r own particular interests.—Morning gerald, It is now decided that England shall be squared and parcelled like a Harlequin's jacket ; the Com missioners are appointed for this important patch work, and must soon throw off the character of pri vate gentlemen, scholars, or engineer% to appear, for three months, in the capacity of tailors. Now, if there were wanting a proof of the childishness of Bill and the dotage of the Ministry, it would be found in that clause which suspends, during this o,riod, and perhaps for more, the prerogative of Royalty ; raises a fourth estate independent of the Executive, and commits the whole realm of Eng land to the taste and scissors of thirty-one tailors. They are to do their work by the piece, and then stitch the whole together as a counterpane to cover the nakedness of the kingdom; every man has his portion con sftted to him, and thus, as said old John of Gaunt— This blessed plot, this earth; this realm, this England, This nurse, this tetrning Womb of royal kings, Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth, RenowlAeil for their deeds as far from home, (for Christian service and true chivalry), As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son : This land of suck dear souls, this dear, dear land, Dear for her reputation through the world, Is now leas'd out (I die pronouncing its Like to a tenement, or pelting farm.—Recce. 11. Act. 2, S. 1. We do not pretend to make any objection to the personal character of these selected officers; those whom we know are teally estimable, those whom we do not know we presume to be such ; but a man may be a most excellent citizen, and yet a bad tailor, bad as a snip in general and bad as a snip in particular; and just so these Commissioners may en joy all the moral virtues, and some especially the at tainments of literature or / science, and yet be wholly unfit to strike the balance between contending inte rests, and practically decide the fundamentals of a Constitution. But let us not be understood as ob jecting to the men whilst olljecting to the office; if Solon and Lycurgus had been nominated in the list they would have become ludicrous ; just so we should laugh at Cato if he were dressed as Panta loon. " From the sublime to the ridiculous there is but a step," and his Majesty's Ministers have suf ficiently proved it, for in one stride they have passed from the rights of the people, the dignity of freedom, and the mite of millions, to sending out their func tionaries in couples, or riding singly as bagmen, with a change of linen behind them. We are at a less to understand why Lord Althorp urged so vehemently their attainments in science. What in the world has science to do here ? Is the division to be geological, according to minerals or strata ? or is it to be astronomical, by latitudes and transits ? If not, we had rather trust to the fattest Justice of the Peace, who had grown old upon his district, than to the thinnest geome trician who ever measured the habitable globe. We are inclined to think that Lord Althorp's absence for two days was falsely ascribed to illness ; he was then, we feel sure, on a visit to Laputa, studying the udiments of mathematical policy, and learning how to rule the kingdoms by compasses and the quadrant. We are confirmed in this by the knowledge that the tailors of Laputa took measures by trigonometry, and'it may have succeeded well in that island ; but the question is, whether it will be applicable here ? We think not, unless the Opposition be furnished with flappers, as the courtiers in Laputa, to rouse our abstruse and contemplative Ministers to a right apprehension and performance of duty and govern ment. Now when these Commissioners arrive •in any town, whom will they consult ? (for consult they must), because though the tailor-bird has in stinct the jailorman has none. Is it the clerk, or parson of the parish, Or the attorney ?" Doubtless the attorney, who will endeavour (and it is pardonable) to secure himself a little job, like the lion-tailor in the ,Spectator, who ripped up the flesh coloured doublet of Hydaspes in his private cha racter of Snip, although such violence was unneces sary for dramatic effect. What a droll sight to witness the officers of Parliament trudging through the dirt, or sitting at the Goat and Boots, and ad ministering oaths by the score, while the attorney •tands by, hoping a job anti longing for six and eightpence. But suppose the attorney should be adverse, and in the Corporation interest, imagine their look of despair— .' 0 qualis facies,et quali digna tabella!" Ile would lead them like a will-o'-the wisp through bog and b r i ar ,, up an d d own, i n the n i g h t o f i nqu iry, till, at the en d o f t h ree months, the period f i xed f or the day-spring of the Constitution, they would find themselves at sunrise with no other result than a few scratches and abundant ridicule, while the attorney would enjoy his fees, and secretly resolve to urge the Corporation to celebrate its triumph in a dinner. The Bill is an attorney's bill, but this clause is more especially theattorney's clause ; and nevertheless we predict that it will be found in operation threatening and yet impotitA, promising, without completion, and mischievous without advantage.—Morn. Post. SECOND EDITION. OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HO USE OF COMMONS. Colonel EVANS presented a petition frdm the inhabi tants of the four districts of the toWn of Manchester, rela tive to the consequences of certain clauses of the Re`orm Bill, and praying that such alterations might be made as would extend thn franchise. The petition was signed by John Whittle, as chairman of the meeting at which it was adopted. The Hon. Member mooed that it be printed. Mr. HUNT said the Chal:man of this meeting was the proprietor of a Newspaper, who had before cried out for " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," but it appeared now that lie was dissati,fied with the Bill. After a few words from the SEiti.ER, and one or two other Members, relatiye tb the printing of the petition, which could ~ :nry to taken as that of the person who signed it, f2olohel Evans withdrew the motion for printing it. The petition was then read, and ordered to lie on the table. The same HON. MEMBER then presented anuthet peti tion to the same effect. _ _ _ Mr. BRISCOE prtsented a petition signed by the Se. cretary en lizthalf of the Labourers' Benefit Society, No. 51, relative to the Bill now in Parliament, by which parishes were to be empowered to hire land to the extent of 50 acres, for the purpose of IP.lting it out in small aVotments to the poor. they prayed that instead of limiting the quantity of land to 50 acres, every parish might be em powered to hire as much land for allotting to the poor as the wants of the poor of the parish might require; and that also every parish in the m , ..tropcilis might have the power to rent 19na. f - it a similar purpose within ten miles of the patbh. The Hon. Member said he concurred in the prayer of the petitioners, and he would reserve his ob servations upon the subject until the Bill should be in Committee. The How. MEMBER nett presented a petition signed by 256 inhabitants of the metropolis, praying for the abo lition or punishment for religious opinions, and praying also, that the House would address his M,jesty to remit the remainder of the sentence upon the Rev. Robert Taylor, as an act of grace at the approaching Coron 'don. Deprecating as he (Mr. Briscoe) did the opinions of that individual, and lamenting their influence on the minds of the people, he must still say that he highly disapproved that an individual should be subjected to a punishment disproportionate to the character of the off nee, and he thonght that Mr. Taylor had a very just cause of com plaint, when be found a very different sentence passed upon Richard Carlile, in an adjoining county, for a simi lar offence, Mr. HUNT concurred in the prayer of the petitioners, and expressed his hope that the Hon. M• mher, who was a Magistrate for Surrey, would exert that influence which he possessed to procure a remission of the remainder of Mr. Taylor's sentence. Mr. BRISCOE said the Hon. Member greatly over rated his supposed influence. The petition was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. FOLEY presented a petition from the maltsters of Dudley, in Worcestershire, against the use of molasses in distilleries. Mr. M. O'FARRALL presented four petitions from as many parishes in the county of Kildare, against the grant to the Kildare-street Society; also, a" petition from the Patriotic Insurance Company in Ireland, praying for a repeal of the duty on marine insurance.—They were read and ordered to be printed. Mr. STEWART presented a petition from the diocese of Kilmore in favour of the grant to the Kildare-street So ciety.—Ordered to be printed, Mr. HUME presented petitions from the Catholic Clergy and Laity of Myross, in the county of Cork; and also from Eden, against the grant to the Kildare •street Society. The petitioners prayed, that as the Kildare street Society had not answered the expectations of his Majesty's Government, no more money might be granted for its support, and that whatever sums might be in future granted for education in Ireland, might be so appropriated as to be properly applied to each creed, the objection of the , petitioners being that the children in these schools were educated by persons of a different persuasion. 'I he Hon. Member then presented a petition from the parish of Marylebone, agreed to at a public meeting, complaining of the heavy rates levied in that parish, and their mismanage ment by a self-elected vestry. They prayed for the abolition of the iteifseleeteil Vestry system. The Hon. Member said that parish was kept in a state of irritation by the proceedings of this self elected and irresponsible body, by whom the parish funds were illegally and unconsitutionally appropriated. li e therefore hoped that his Majesty's Government would speedily put an end to a system which caused so much ilk will and dissatisfaction. The petition was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME then presented three petitions, one from the inhabitants of Dudley, the second from certain inha bitants of the metropolis, and the third signed by 5,000 inhabitants of Manchester and Salford, complaining of the prosecutions for religious opinions, and praying the inter position of the House with his Majesty for a remission of the sentence upon the Rev. Robert Taylor. 'the lion. Member said that he understood the signatures were those of respectable persons, but he was bound to add, that the first name on that from the metropolis was that of Mr. Taylor himself.—(A laugh.) The petitioners especially deprecated the prosecutions being conducted by a self constituted body, calling itself the " ta'eatiety for the Suppression of Vice." presenting these petitions the Honourable Member (Mr. Hume) wished to he understood as not in the least identifying himself . with th e opinions of Mr. Taylor, and he regretted that individual had forced those opinions on the public ; but still he was the decided enemy of all prosecutions for religious opi nions, and he considered the protecutien of Mr. Taylor L. disgrace to any country, in which the inquisition was not established. So many petitions, signed by such numbers of persons, upon this subject, had been presented to thi s House, that he entertained a hope that the attention of his Majesty's Government would shortly be called to it. The petition was read, and ordered to be printed, [At this stage Mr, SitAta", the Recorder of Dublin, and lately returned for that city, was introduced, and took the oaths and his seat.] Captain GORDON was anxious to embrace the oppor tunity furnished by the reference that had been made to the Society for the Suppression of Vice, to state shortly front an official prospectus its constitutiOn anal principles, Their first object was to check the trade in licentious pictures ; and since the institution of the So ciety 69 prosecutions had been instituted , of which only one or two had failed of success. The second head of the Society's plan was to repress blasphemous publications, and thirty three places formerly notorious for the sale Of such pio. ductions, h2d beep diteohtinued in consequence of the so cietys4 exertions. This alone, the Gallant Officer submited was an advantage of no ordinary value to the welfare of so ciety. The third object was to enforce, as far as pos sible, obedience to the laws for the preservatidu of the Sabbath. Their prosecutions cattier this head aitiounted to ho leas than two thousand, many of which had been undertaken at the solicitation of magistrates and ministers of religion. The Hon. Member considered it a duty which he owed to the House to make this statements he was willing that the Society shoh!d ite Uatiliasteu , but if it was impeached, the impeachment should lie based in a knowledge of the real objects and operations of the Society. He would only say it had been found worthy of the advocacy of a Porteus and a Bishop Watson. Mr. HUME said it was the duty of his Majesty's Attor ney-General to undertake all such proseeutiona, and he could not see why any private individuals, whose nunes were unknown to the public, ought to institute and carry on such prosecutions. Colonel GORDON was quite ready to furnish the lion. Member with a list of the members of the Society. tMr. PRINGLE bore testimony to the good character, objects, and successful operation of the Society. Mr. HUME presented a petition from a number of per sons in the metropolis, stating their regret that a great many individuals had been arrested and confined under the 16th George 11. chap. 23, usually called the hawkers and pedlars' Act, for selling publications in the street. As ten individuals were nowt snpriaoned they prayed for com pensation for loss of time, and that the House would pass a bill of indemnity to those liable to prosecutions. Colonel SIBTHORPE thought this subject very im portant; and as a new species of article hid now bee❑ got up in the shape of a political handkerchief, printed on cotton, measures should be taken to suppress it. He con sidered it a fraud upon the public, on the revenue, and on those Editors of Papers who were obliged to pay for stamps. Mr. Alderman WOOD had had a person before him to day, who had been in the Compter since Saturday, for se lli ng these tracts; and after hearing the whole case, he had 'elt bound to discharge him, being confident that what lie had done was only to save himself from starvation. Mr. HUME bad no hesitation in saying that many of these publications contained a good deal of dangerous mat t, r, but he thought the best way to put an end to such publications was to abolish the Statute altogether. He had not the least dohbt, unless that was done, every kind of article would be made use of for the purpose of enabling parties to put forth these sort of publications. The Hon. Member presented petitions from Stockport, the Brunswick Brewery, in Kent, from Golden-lane Brewery, and from Stepney, against any alteration being made in the Beer Laws as they at presented existed. In doing so, the Hon. Member hoped the present session would not pass by without a Bill being brought forward, giving leave to the retailers of beer to keep open their houses as late as the gill shops. Sir JOHN NEWPORT thetight the tame indulgence ought to he giveh t) the beet•-Shops at %vat ektended to the public houses. He amid(' much rather encourage the sale of beer than that of ardeht Spirits. Sir RICHARD VYVYAN thought the Hon. Baronet who had jest spoken had forgot that pitblic houses were licensed by Magistrates, and that the Hon. Member for Middlesex had made the great mistake of confounding the public houses in the country with those in town. The great object of the Magistrates in Wishing to put down the beer-shops was, that they might be placed under the con trout of the police, and he was sure, if these places were allowed to be increased, the peace of the country would re quire an increase of the police. , Mr. WILKS observed that it must be apparent that the police, at the present moment, had an authority to enter any beer house that was not properly conducted, and no one could keep one of these houses without entering into a bond for the preservation of the pe ice. Mr. WEYLAND was not aware of the right of a con stable to enter these beer houses when they pleased, and he had no hesitation in saying, that these houses often sold much more intoxicating liquor than the regular publicans. He believed that great distinctions ought to be made between the houses in town and those in the country, in which latter place many of these houses operated great mischief, and were the means of corrupting the lower classes of society. Mr. HUME saw no reason for putting these houses under any regulation; he did not see why beer should not be sold in the same manner as tea and sugar, he considered the beer-shops had great ground of complaint, and he hoped all these discussions would end in the sale of beer being thrown completely open. . . Mr. ESTCOURT would tell the Hon. Member for Mid- dlesex that the reason why beer should not be sold in the same manner as tea and sugar was, the one made a man drunk, and the other did not.—(Laughter.) Mr. D. W. HARVEY suggested that the better way of suppressing the gin-shops would be to enable the poorer classes to brew for themselves—(Hear, hear)—and that would be most effectually done by taking the duty of malt.—(Hear, hear.) If an other tax was required in its place let apr Tarty tax be so astituted. He would also suggest that in t very pari , were should be implements for brewing to lend to ‘oe s our, as perhaps it was not generally known that a gentleman lending his brewing utensils was subject to the penalty of 501. STEAM PACKETS. Colonel SIBTHORPE begged to call the attention of the Secretary at War, who he now saw in his place, to what he had stated on a previous occasion with respect to steam packets, denominating themselves war packets. The Right Hon. Secretary was doubtless aware of the many accidents that had lately occurred on board these pp►ckets, and he (Colonel Sibthorpe) trusted he would do something to deprive them of thus imposing on the public. . _ Sir H. PARNELL observed, that the owners of the vessels, referred to by the gallant Colonel, had made use of the names on account of the conditions of their contracts, and until those contracts ceased he could not very well see what alteration he could make. Colonel SHIT HORPE then gave notice of his intention to move to-morrow, for the appointment of a select Com mittee, to take into consideratios the many calamitous ac cidents that had taken place on board steam packets. Mr. HUNT prevented a petition from the industrious classes of the metropolis, complaining of the imprison ment of persons for selling the Poor Man's Guardian. The HUN. AIEMBEK, however, also gave notice of his intention to move to-morrow that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, praying his Majesty to exer cise an act of grace to all Crown debtors on the approach ing Coronation, and also for the grant of a sum, not ex ceeding 24,0001., to be appropriated for the discharge of debtors imprisoned for small sums throughout the United Kingdom. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented two petitions from merchants, ship-owners, and others interested in the navigation of the river Thames, in favour of the Bill for the Regulation of Steam-boats in the Port of Llndon. The 11,nourable Alderman then stated, that from what had passed on former occasions, he Wag ihdlited to proceed no further with that sill, and that he should therefore withdraw it—at the same time giving notice that he would on a future day move for a Select Committee to investigate the best mode of prevent ing accidents by steam-vessels. The order of the day for the second reading of the Steam-boats Bill was then discharged. LIVERPOOL ELECTION. Mr. GRANVILLE VERNON rose to move that a new writ be issued for the borough of Liverpool. He was aware how precious the time of the House was at the present period, but he was induced to make his motion on the broad and solid grounds Gf Parliamentary usage and common right. He was aware of the difficulties he had to encounter from the opposition of the Honourable Member for Wiltshire (Mr. Benett), as well as of the Hon. Member for Ipswich, and he could not•but conceive that those difficulties were somewhat in the nature of a pettifogging Reform, at a time when the House was en gaged in carrying into effect a large and general measure of Reform. He thought,while such a general measure of Ref .. .l - m was under discussion, it would be much better to allow this Writ to Issue Without entering into any discussion on it Those Honourable Members would not be compro mised as to any ulterior measures they might think proper to adopt by agreeing to his proposition. His attention bad been called to this subject on the presentation of a petition ssgned by 14 000 merchants, bankers, and others of Liverpool) praying to be al!owed a full representation, and the only Hon. Member for Liverpool bad stated in the House, that the great and varied interests of that large commercial town, could not be properly at. tended to by one representative. He brought forward this motion on the ground of public expediency, for he conceived that a population of two hundred thousand inhabitants, and reducing a million of revenue, were en titled to the benefit of a full representation. Ile did not attempt to deny that gross bribery and corruption had prevailed at the elections in that town, for it was in evidence that the returns of Mr. Roscoe, Mr. Canning, and Mr. Huskisson were obtained by that corrupt system ; but there was no precedent to juttify the suspension of a writ for so long a period. At this particular period, While the Reform Bill was being discussed, it was unjust to leave a large borough like Liverpool without a representative, unless some Parliamentary precedents could be produced to justify it. The Hon. Member, after citing the cases of Gratnpound, Penrhyn, East Retford, and Barnstable, none of which, he contended ) applied to this Case, concluded by moving that a new writ be issued for Liverpool. Mr. HUME (as we understood) seconded the motion. Mr. BENETT expressed his regret that the course be adopted should interfere in any degree with the progress of the fteform Bill; but he w as o bliged by consistency to adopt it. Hs should detail a few of the corrupt practices of the Liverpool electors, and would then move, by way of amendment to the motion that had been made, a series of resolutions, pledging the House to take the subject into its immediate eonsiderationt ____,...... (LIFT SPEAKiNG.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord CowLEy was introduced by Lords MA KY BOROUG tt and STEWART nx ROTIISAY, when his Lordship took the oaths find his neat, Mr. BENETT and others from the Commons bronght up Turton's Divorce Bill, which had been agreed to with out amendments. Two Private Bills were also brought up by Sir F. VIN CENT and Mr. BERNAL. Lord KING presented a petition in favour of Morin, from the Isle of Wight. His Lordship also presented an other from Ireland, against the subletting Act. Earl HADDINGTON presented a petition from Had dington, against the use of Molasses in distilleries, Lord TENTERDEN gave notice, that o❑ the 15th he would move the second reading of the Bill for the limita tion of time of Prescriptions. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition from a district in the county of Meath, in favour of the grant to the Kildare-street Society. PORTUGAL. The Earl of ABERDEEN, in rising to present a petition from the chip-owners and oth , rs, connected with the trade to Portugal complained their property was put in great jeo pardy by the present state of the relations with that country. He stated that the immunities which En;:lishmen enjoyed there and their former perfect freedom demanded:that these relations should be placed upon a more secure and permanent footing. Our relations with that country till lately had always been more like tlawe of a mother country and a colony than two independent states, and the continued existence of our present estrangement would not only b the ruin of the petitioners, and most unjust towards Por tugal, but would seriously affect peace in the Peninsula— that the Government of Portugal was perfectly despotic he would not deny ; but that despotism had existed for centuries, and our relations had commenced and had been strengthened under such a Government. It had been seen for the first time in -the history of the two countries that a French fleet had been dominant in the Tagus, and he hoped this country would renew their rela tions, that such a state of things might never be witnessed The late Mr. Canning bad stated, that, two thirds of the people of Spin where attatched a a despotic Govern ment, and could not bear a free one. What had been tints Said with with respect to Spain, might With perfect consistency and truth tat , affirmed of Portugal ; and after the events which had followed the glorious days of Pat is and Brussels, it might well be permitted to the Portuguese to pause b, fore committing themselves to the same hazardous course. He wished to know from the Noble Earl (Grey) how long the present suspension of friendly relations with that Government was to continue. SVEAKiNO, MURDER OF MR. DAVID OSHAUGH NESSY.—TIPPERA RV, Ann. 6.—With feelings of d.ep sorrow I have to inform you of the melancholy fate of Mr. DENts O'SFIALTdfiNtSSEY, surveyor of this town. He was cruelly murdered about six o'clock yesterday evening, hetwten Doneskea and Dundrum, about six miles from Tipperary, while in the act of valuing tithes for the Rev. Mr. AamsTRONo, of Clenkelly. The following appointments of Lord Lieuten ants of Counties in Ireland, under the new Act, have al ready taken place:— Antrim Earl O'Neill. Armagh. Earl of Gosford. Cavan Marquis of Westmeath. Cork Earl of Shannon. Donegal Marquis of Donegal. Dublin Earl of Meath. Fermanagh Earl of Enniskillen. Galway Marquis of Clanricarde. Kerry Earl of Kenmare. Kildare . Duke of Leinster. Kilkenny Marquis of Ormonde. Mayo Marquis of Sligo. Meath Earl of Darnley. . V, Queen's County Viscount De Vesci. Roscommon Viscount Lorton. The Dublin Times Pays it is expected that Lord DONOUGII - Will be appointed for Tipperary, and that in the county of Clare, where there is no re,ident Peer, it is not improbable that Sir E. O'BRIEN will be the Lord Lieutenant. The materials for the colossal statue of GEORGE the Third have now all arrived from London, and the workmen are busily employed in putting them together. The figure of the KING, and the head and neck of the horse, were sent down the latter end of last week, and an estimate may be formed of their magnitude by the fact of these parts alone weighing sixteen ton.. Many persons have been attracted to the spot to view these detached but gigantic portions of this noble work. The figure lies extended on the ground, and as it is placed o❑ the back with the left arm up, being an equestrian statue, it presents a rather ludicrous effect. On Wednes day the headless trunk of the horse arrived, in one truck, and some portion of the pedestal in another. The body of the horse, placed on its back, its enormous legs in the air, and drawn by fourteen horses, was an object of great curiosity as it slowly passed along the London roid, and even at Brentford hundreds of persons were collected to view the sight. Winn nearly at the end of the journey, namely—at the top of Snowhill—in passing over some part of the new road, which was not quite set, the wheels of the heavy machine sunk in, and it was not until addi tional horses were procured that it could be again set in motion.— Windsor Express. TAX ON 818 LES.—It is stated in the London Papers that ANDREW STRAHAN, Esq. printar to the King's Most Excellent MAJESTY, who died on Thurad iy week, h,s left 700,0001 in legacies. It is not generally known, but it ought to be generally known, that on the printing of Acts of Parliament, the King's Printer has a profit of about r ne hundred per cent. beyond that which other printers, were there an open competition, would be contented to take ; and that on bibles and testaments, printed by the King's Printer and the two universities, there is a profit of between fifty and one hundred per cent charged to the public, beyond the ordinary printers' profit ! No wonder then that one who has shared in such mono poles should have been able to leave 700.0001. But what a shame it is that the word of Gon should be thus taxed, to put money into the pockets of a couple of individuals, or into the coffers of a couple of lazy corporations. Of the money subscribed to the Bible Society, for the distribu tion of the scriptures, no smaller a at►m than 500,000/. has been absorbed by those monopolists! Or, in other words, they have pocketed .as much of the money of that society as would have put into circulation TEN MILLIONS of bound copies of the new testament ! An enquiry into this most flagrant abuse of patent rights is now taking place, and it becomes every man who desires the distribution of the scriptures to enter his protest against the, iniquitous im post.—Manchester Times. BEAUTIES OF THE COURT OF CHARLES 11. —lndependently of the great attractions of this publica tion as a work of art, its literary and historical interest will be found remarkable. It ought to be particularly noticed that the memoirs are written by a lady ; and as a lady (in her feminine character) ought to write. Most of the women were really amiable and interesting as well as beautiful, and connected with our political history, and with the noblest families of the present titne—several have been effectually cleared front the aspersions cast on them, and placed in a new and interesting point of view. POLIGNAC AND HIS COLLEAGUES IN PRISON.—We gave, a few days ago, from a French paper, some particulars relating to the Ex-Ministers confined in the Castle of Ham, proceeding from a soldier of the 19th Light Infantry Regiment, on his passage through Valen, ciennes for Belgium. The following letter in reply to that statement has been since addressed to the Editor or the Quolidienne by M. de PEYRONNET :•-••• " Ham, Aug. 28, 1831. " Slll,-Several journals have published an account, pretended to have been given by a soldier, of which the Castle of Ham Is the only and melancholy subject. This letter contains little else than falsehoods. I am quite at a loss to conceive what miserable motive can have led to such a relation. The state prison of Ham is badly built, insalubrious, and is surrounded by marshes, so that it is for half the day enveloped in fogs. It does not contain a garden for any one, and consequently there can be none f9r the prisoners. Their only walk is about 60 yards in length, at one end of the ramparts, so narrow, that two persons can scarcely walk abreast, and from the base of which infectious exhalations are constantly rising. The food served to us is so refined and delicate, that I have frequently made my dinner off a morsel of bread. The prisoners of Ham do riot pass their time in play; they have other things to occupy themselves with. I do not know that this has happened to me once during the whole of my thirteen months' confinement. Their lives are what they ought to be—serious and sad. Study is their only diversion. Those who seek to rob them of the consideration due to misfortune sustained with dignity, merit most to be pitied. This is my opinion, and 1 pity them accordingly. " I have the honour. &c. (Signed) " PEYRONNET.' MURDER NEAR WELFORD, NORTHAMP TONSIIIRE.—It has become our painful duty to r,cord another crime of murder committed upon a young and unoffendiog female at the little sequestered village of Sib bertoft, near Welford, in Northamptonshire. The victim was DIARY CHENEY, or, as she was more commonly called, Mae? WRIGHT. She was an illegitimate child, and her mother's name was CHENEY, hut she has since mar ried a labourer named GRANT, who is uncle to the wretched man now lying in Northampton gaol, under the dreadful charge of murdering this poor girl. The murderer, Wm. GRANT, is, according to his own account, 41 years old; he h as b een i n t h marines, but was discharged on account of deafnes ,, , with a pension of 245. per quarter, and has since been residing in this his native village. The girl was2o years old, and of prepossessing appearance : nut withstanding the disparity of years, the prisoner conceived an ardent attachment for her, and not meeting a corres ponding return, jealousy and rage took possession of his breast, and hurried him to the commission of the foul crime for which he is now called upon to answer. The prisoner's mother died last week, at the advanced age of seventy-six, and was thus happily spared the bitter pang of witnessing her eldest son hurried from his native village on a charge of murder. She was buried on Sunday, and it should seam that the refusal of the de ceased to walk with the prisoner in the funeral procession was one of the circumstances which rankled in his breast. The deceased was servant to Mrs. MArrosr, and on Tues day evening last was sent by her mistress to Mr. BATES'S in the village for some harm, when she met the prisoner, who accompanied her on her way home,, and when in .a. rather retired part of the lane leading to her mistress's; suddenly drew out a knife and stabbed het' repeatedly in the neck and breast. The screams of the poor girl brought a person named HormAN to her assistance, who secured the prisoner as he was in the act of kneeling on the girl and repeating his blows. The girl died the next day ; and the same evening the prisoner was fully committed to North ampton gaol for the murder. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• B 0 W-S TREET. On Thursday night Sir RICHARD Btata_Aki taken his seat upon the Bench, between ser i . eight o'clock, Mr. Harmer, the attorney, appeared On be lj , Messrs. Street and Eve, who are conned e :# the Satirist, and stated that Messrs. Bondanejo the parties charged on a warrant with haili niously assaulted Mr. Eve, with intent t o ,l 1 him, had given notice of their intention to au, themselves into custody that night at seven at this office, and he wished to know if lI I ° surrendered themselves to Salmon, the office r ' held the warrant ? Salmon said they had not surrendered, th understood from their solicitor that they so that nigh , . Mr Alley arid Mr. C.

" Sir R. BIRNIE expressed some impatience ti, deity of businesQ, occasioned by the rarties pearing, and also his doubts as to whether not all a hoax," when Messrs. Ailey and' ) presented themselves upon the Bench. Mr. Harmer—Your clients, Mr. Alley, untied) a‘lviet., have no doubt acted with a very vita cretion in not surreirderiug. I tl Mr. Alley—Let me tell you, Mr. Harme r ' j when a client of mine is Charged with a c° ,:i felony, it would be utterly impossible for ale t bi so improperly as to advise him not tosurrender self into custody. Mr. Harmer-1 conceived the party mig ht been so advised, because I told Mr.. Henss° day when he called upon me, that I should P ry cluirge of capital felony against them. r li Mr. Phill ps —I came here, supposing mY, would surrender; but you see what a drea'utl night it is—(Laughter)—it is shocking bad vo s —(Loud laughter.) Mr. Alley (the rain pouring in torrents ° P t ' sky-light of the cflice), assuming a gravity not sit very easily upon his physiognomy, ° l 't that iL was not a night fit for a dog to go otithe, the absence of his client must be owing to clemency of the weather.—(Laughter.) to i S r RICHARD BSRNIE ordered the officer 10 best exertions to apprehend the parties. s tif Mr. Alley—Wed, the rain seems somewhat ' —good night, gentlemen—God bless you. o i? Sir It BIRNIE—WeII, naw this farce is clear the office. Mr. Eve was in the office during the e : with his head bandaged,a plaister upon his e' l4' another on the back of his head.

Mr. Harmer wished him to come forwar°' that he should be pointed out. Mr. HALLS said he would not allow such 11 0 to be pursued. Mr. Harmer requested the prosecutor and ness named Potion (who, it was stated b/s, Harmer, saw Mr. Bliss keeping the door %at( and others beat Mr. Eve) to look at every Pe!: # o the office and point out the person they anti Pontin looked at every individual present, a n Ili ral times passed by Mr. Bliss, but (lid not n otice fi M...
