Drench-. 1 1 4 ,.. 11 ; r ains have in some places followed in the 1 . „ 41 _, of tremendous explosions of the thunder nus, and buildings and crops have been fired, tad to. ,the . lives of men and of animals sacrificed as the inevitable power of the lightning. But, d e i far as the process of harvest has gone, the esl has been short and temporary; a renewal ne weather has soon dried the corn, before it Z' sust a i ne d i n j ury, and, w h ere t h e ra i n h as not en too heavy, it has seasonably refreshed the earth, Td obviated the effects of too continued a drought. there has been one other alloy to the cheerfulness, h s well as t h e expedition, with which the present p ltv est his b een carr i e d on . M uc h s i c k ness h as r evai led; and, in some districts, it has been no un- Elarnon thing for a master, on entering his harvest to find, day after day, a large proportion of oa l ttbourers unable to continue their work, sinking de r the we i g h t o f a sort o f i n fl uenza , w hi c h at aietlied the h ea d an d s t omac h, some ti me s g o i n g off 4 critical sw e lli ng s of the f a ce and glands of the )1: 1c . and sometimes terminating in typhus fever. '„ t his circumstance—and in some parts of the f ° o " nt rY which depend mainly on external assistance t o ' the ; a of „ - aigatneriogtheir crops, from the opposi -- which has been offered to the working of Irish ti o ntir ers—some delay has occurred in the prosecu f the harvest. It is, however, earlier than s ; far advanced even in the north ; and in the o a_tith th e country i s so generally cleare d o f corn t h at, se a „the„ lit of September, the shooter will enjoy the to r, - " c age, unusual of late years, of seeing his dogs ge, uninterrupted in his sport by standing grain, of d t he poor cove y s w ill h ar dly find a solitary field bi rd b arley to afford them a refuge.

Peas and beans are, as far as can be b:' l tained, under an average produce; but the I, o 4 tti and precarious nature of this crop renders it r,P a asible to estimate it correctly, from the different Tsthlts which every farm, and even field, will present. za n e e plata of clover, among the spring corn, is by no c a „, ans Rross, although deficiencies are not generally R , s -- Pittined . of ; and this is the case with artificial a o , o ' saca in general.

The precarious product, hops, the subject l a „ an alUdi speculation, gambling, and lying, is at th,:!elinowledged to be a fair crop ; mould vanishes, f av -d uty rises, and picking has commenced under , ° arable circumstances. Potatoes are universally . apt . s o "ented ss vigorous and flourishing; the early yiT, which have been partially digged up, have tt, ti t ed vvell,•and the main crop gives a premise of he u eing inferior in productiveness.

At Half-past Twelve o'clock the SPEAKER took his seat. The House went into a Committee on Turton's Divorce Bill. Counsel were called in on behalf of the petitioner, Mrs. Turton, and witnesses were examined in support of the Bill. The evidence of Dr. Russell and General Brown (Mrs. Turton's father), as given in the House of Lot ds, was read, the attendance of those gentlemen having been, by an order of the House, dispensed with. At the con clusion of the proceedings the House resumed, and the Chairman made his report. Mr. SADLER presented a petition from the town of Nottingley, in the county of York, expressing the deep regret of the petitioners at the existing distress in Ireland, and praying the establishment of a system of poor laws in Ireland. Also a petition from Paisley, complriining of distress, and praying the House to adopt some remedy for it. Mr. DENISON presented a petition from the ownets of craft, to the amount of 9 0,000 tons, trading en the River Thames, praying that the Bill introduced by the Hon. Alderman (Wood) might pass into a law. The Hon. Member trusted that his Majesty's Ministers would give their support to the Bill. Mr. MANGLES supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. EWART begged to ask the Right Hon. Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government-to take into consideration any measures for the regulation of steam boats, seeing the recent lamentable occurrence in regard to the loss of the Rothsay Castle. Mr. GEORGE LAMB said, that with regard to intro ducing any legislative enactment, he was at present unable to give any answer. It was certainly highly desirable that some regulations should be adopted to prevent such accidents occurring. The fact was, that there was an Act (the fitutth of the late King) in existence, but he did not know that its provisions had been found very effective. He had, however, very anxiously directed his attention to the subject, and although he did not pledge himself to bring forward any Legislative measure he thought that some useful regulations might be made. After a few words from Mr. CHOKER and Mr. GRANT, the purport of which, from the continued bus in the House, was not audible in the gallery, Mr. G. LAMB said it had been intimated to him, by the relatives of some of the unfortunate sufferers, that it was intended to institute proceedings against the pro prietors of the Rothsay Castle steam-boat, and therefore he did not wish to give any opinion upon the subject at present.—(Hear.) Mr. JOHN CAMPBELL was understood to protest against any legislative enactment to regulate the speed of steam-boats.—The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. BLAMIRE presented a petition from the various ports in the county of Cumberland, praying for a repeal of the duty on marine insurances. Mr. CROKER hoptd that if the repeal of these duties were brought forward, every Member of the House would long be repealed. He instanced the various acts of incen diarism which had been committed from a spirit of re venge upon the farmers, a feel ng that would be inopera tive, and doubtless entirely destroyed by the farmers being enabled more generally to insure their property. Lord ALTHORP said the subject was under considera tion by his Majesty's Government. Sir E. SUGDEN expressed his hope that not only that duty, but the duty on insurances generally, would ere long lend his support to his Majesty's Government—(Hear, hear)—that whatever difference of opinion there might be upon other points, he hoped the Government would be supported in their endeavours to destroy a practice so dis ' graceful and afflictine., and so much endangering the well , being of society, as the various acts of incendiarisin which had prevailed in the country.—(Hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition, the purport of which we could not hear, and said that i❑ the exercise of that discretion ss hich he hoped to see fol lowed by other Hon. Members, he should not create any delay, but merely present it to the House. Mr. CROKER begged to remind the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, that to show that this Reform Bill—so highly important—had not been delayed longer than other measures of vast importance, he would mention the Committees upon two great oc casions, viz. upon the Orders i❑ Council, and upon the late Duke of York's conduct—on both of which occa sions the Committees sat longer than the present Com mittee on the Reform Bill hail done. Sir E. SUGDEN said, that there could not have been any unnecessary delay in this Bill, for it appeared that the Bill had not been complete until last night. It was only this morning that several new clauses had been put into his hand, and therefore the people of . England ought to know that it was only up to this moment that the Go vernment had been prepared to go on with the Bill. The delay that had already occurred appeared now to have bee❑ absolutely necessary, as .it had afforded the Government sufficient time to amend their Hear.) Mr. Pill NGLE.presented a petition from Noblemen and Commissioners of Supply in the county of Selkirk, praying that that county might not be united with the county of Peebles. The Hon. Member would not now detain the House with any lengthened statement of his opinions on the al terationsproposed in respect to theSeotch counties,but when the Scotch Reform Bill went into Committee he should most certainly move that the integrity of the counties should be preserved. Mr. FERGUSSON would take that opportunity of giving notice that it was his intention to move in Committee on the Scotch Reform Bill, that the num ber of Scotch counties should not be diminished. Al though the subject was not totally unconnected with the subject matter of the present petition he would not now enter upon it, but he could not but say that the necessary consequence of uniting the Committtees would be in some instances a partial disfrachisement of pre sent voters. Mr. DAVIES presented a petition from the owners of property and Commissioners of Supply of Cromarty, pray ing that they might continue entitled to return a Member. Mr. C. BRUCE presented a petition from the county of Elgin, praying that that county might not lie encum bered with any part of the county of Nairn, The Hon. Member could not see why so large a population should be made to divide their rights of county franchise. Sir C. FORBES saw a strange inconsistency in the framers of the Reform Bill in that, while their principle was to divide the counties in England, they were, most de. : sirons of uniting them in Scotland. Mr. C. BRUCE also presented a petition from the Provost and Magistrates of Fortrose, against that con structive clause in the Scotch Reform Bill, which would call in the Sheriff of the county from a distance to do what they were quite competent to do more efficiently upon the spot, and which would thus atfpject the emlnty to unne cessary inconvenience, and a large increase of expenditure. The Hoar. AI stem, also gave notice that it was his in tention in Committee on the Scotch Reform Bill, to move to introduce a clause, giving the controul of all elections to the local Magistrates, instead of the Sheriff's clerk. ' Mr. 11. GRATTAN presented a petition from the dis senters of a parish in Doivn, praying for the repeal of the Vestry Act, and the introduction of poor laws into Ire land. Also a petition from - an individual named Kirk, land, praying the Ilo!Ise to take his ease into :heir copai ,. deratiwn Sir GEORGE CLERK presented a perltton front the corn distillers of Scotland against the use of molasses in distilleries believing it to have been tile means of opening a door to considerable fraud. He begged the particular attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the pe tition, as it came from an infitzential body of men. Lord ALTIIORP thought it a matter of great impor portance both to Ireland and Scotland, and considered the only way in which it Could he satisfactorily disposed of wa4 hy a Committee up stairs, to the appointment of which lie had no objection. Sir GEORGE thought the appointment of a Committee w'oo'd be attended with no real good, as he felt Confident very little progress would be made in puttn9 the house in poieesiou of the true facts of tne eas e , • ' Mr. WRANGHAII presented a petition from Audbury, agalnat the use of molasses in distillation. On the motion that the House resolve itself into a Com mittee on the Reform Bill, Mr. STANLEY gave notice, that on the 30th of Sep tember lie sboold mne?, fir leav; io b;ing is hill 'far the amendim,:nt of the Graod',lury Laws of Leland. • Mr. HUGHES HUGHES intimated his intention of withdraWing his motion respecting the division of counties. He (lid so in consequence of the alteratiota,a which had been made in that clause by the Chancellor •of . 7 . the Exchequer. • • ' • On`the Motion that the Speaker leave the Chair, Mr. CROKER wished to. ask the No ble Lord o pp catte Aft (harp) what_ day, urok.ided tbc. , got C'h7c4igi? the Cbmiiittee ^1 4efOnp 411; beroiv the: approaol,- ;rig and very interesting solcmnity Which %yea about f 0 take pl.s(e next weel:, he would fix for the report. The Noble Lord would be aware that the Bill was to be re-committed; and as a proof of the earnest desire, be (Mr. Croker) had not to interpose any avoidable obstruction to its progress, he woul4 suggest; that if the Committee reeze terminated before the period ?Ppoiiited fr. 'the Coronation, . the :ictl4 .Lord. should take the report upon the Tuesday following, the 10th inst. If the matter were so generally understood, • it would be a great convenience to themselves, as they might make their necessary arrangements accordingly. I.ord ALTHORP rose with great pleasure to answer the question of the Hon. Gentleman. The course of proceeding which he (Lord Althorp) had determined to adopt was, that immediately on the close of the C oin _ mittee the report should be adopted. If the Com mittee was concluded before the Coronation, which he hoped and trusted would be the case, he would, according to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman (11r. Croker) not bring up the report before Tuesday, the 10th instant. —( Hear, hear. ) Mr. CHOKER had another question to ask, sup_ losing the Bill got through Coiumittee before th e Coronation, whether the Noble Lord would not think it right to adjourn over Friday and Saturday, as well as Thursday next? It would, lie was sure, be a great re lief and convenience to Hon. Members generally. Lord ALTHORP said it would undoubtedly be a neat convenience esp-cially to Honourable Members who in situations like his own ha .I been for so long a time most laboriously occupied—(Hear, hear, hear)_.. if the House was to adjourn from Wednesday till Monday, hut in that period of the Session, and ,time of the year, lie found it necessary to take advantage of the Friday and Saturday (or carrying forward the public busi ness —(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The House then resolved into a Committee on the Reform Bill. Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. On the 31st clause being put. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. Sir C. WETHERELL was glad that the public was now of opinion that the discussions in that House had brought within the reach of public understanding and com prehension, the great, the extensive, and infinite alterations which were involved in the limits of the Reform Bill.— An Honourable and Learned Friend of his (the At torney-General) had on a previous occasion complained of the frivolous and vexatious conduct of the opposition. It was, however, a very hard thing that they should be called at a moment's notice to discuss a most important sub ject in the measure. by clauses new, or most materially altered, which were daily and hourly issuing wet from the Ministerial Press. —(Hear, hear.)—The Noble Lord would recollect that some time ago, during the war, there was a club in town, which was commonly called the wet-paper-club, where the politicians ware so eager to get hold of any of the daily journals, which com municated from time to time the transactions on the con tinent, that they began to read them before the papers were dried at the fire—(Laughter) —from which circum stance they had derived their name. Now he (Sir C. Wetherell) had this morning a new clause put into his hand which had newly issued from the Ministerial Press, and which was so damp and wet, that a cautious medical roan, tinder the influence of fear for cholera, would have said, " Don't touch that wet paper."—(Much laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman hoped the time would come very early when he should hear no noire complaints of frivolous and vexatious delay in the reading of a clause which a man could not in feet read until eleven o'clock this inorniog, because it was not in print.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He was convinced of the silliness and absurdity of those complaints, both in and out 'of the House, so undeservedly cast upon the opponents of the Bill. Ile wished the too Hon. and Worthy Aldermen of the city of London (Venables and Thompson) had been in their places, because be should have wished to ask them if they had received orders, mandates, and dictatorial commands front their constituents respecting delaying the progress of clauses not yet dry from the printing press.—(Hear.) This Bill, however, now appeared so much altered, that it was more like the frequent darned stockings of Sir John Cutler—(Laughter)—and that from the fre quent inendirri ° s the original appearance of the Bill was lost.—(Hear, hear.) If it were not that he should delay the house, he should move for a copy of the original Bill, in order to ascertain what portion of " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," which Honourable Mem• hers bad been ordered on the hustings to support, was now left.—(Cheers from the Opposition benches.) One complaint that be had against the Bill was, as had been observed by an Hon. Member on a former night, - that it completely pulled down the old house, so that scarcely one brick or stone was left standing upon the other. The principle of the 30th clause was to e,tablish a Court to which no name was given —a sort of Court which was, Ire supposed, to be called a Court of Par liamentary Assize, or a Court of Oyer or, Terminer, in which was to be tried the right or title of every man to vote at elections for Members of Parliament.—( clear.) By the original clause this right was to be confined to voters for counties, but now it was proposed to extend it to boroughs arid towns. Me now begged to ca 1 the attention of the House to the sort of jndge who was to be ermined into such a jurisdiction; the House wonld find that those judges were to be appointed by the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, for every county, and for every district of a county; these judges were to he barristers, who were to try the lists of voters, and having examined the title of persons to vote, to sign the lists. Then came a proviso that must in his (Sir C. Wetherell's) opinioc, have been accidentally introduced into the Bill ; it was this, "that no barrister so appointed as aforesaid shall be eligible to serve in Parliament for eighteen mouths from the time of such, his appointment for the county, or any part, riding, or division of the county, for willed' he shall be so ap pointed." It may, perhaps, be urged as a sort of justification for this provisio, that a barrister would have an opportunity in his character of Judge o f picking up some information, or obtaining some influence, so that it was deemed improper that he shotild sit in Perna.. ment for IS months. He asked his Majesty's Ministers why, if they deemed it proper to make the Judges of these Courts ineligible to sit in Parliament for 18 months that they did not make the Commissioners also ineligible. H e saw that two of the Commissioners were Members of the House, and all of them, except the Lord Chief Baron of Scotland ( who by the bye ought not to have been in the list, were elegible to sit as Members, while the bar risters who should be appointed Judges of the various counties and districts were declared ineligible for eighteen months, and it could not be supposed that the C,o(llll:li sitmers had less opportunities of acouif:ng irdoetaa,ton, and practising intrigee, if they were so disposed. This pre- Cedence in favour of the Commissioners would—however t p l o e p m u a l n ar the oppositeil i l I ..z i re r, l a i t t e b e g r e s a aid t ) He would not say that the g ving or withholding dtio l ssati e 4a b t y ie H G ea e r n . a privilege was prudent or not, but yet he must say that according to e. very corornqn that whidi was sauce file the goose - was sauce also for the ga • nder—(llear, hear)—and the framers of this notable Bill would be put to a great deal of ingenuity in delendiug the clause in its present shape. and making it consistent with the clause appointing the Commissioners. Tl,e ;ppoiritnient of Judges was it dengecoos prece'dent as regarded the psi_ vilegee of this House.—.-(lfear.) The constant labour of the House, from verY earliest pe:riod, had been to preserVe under its own controul the riehts-ef the conStie o tuent, body yet they 'were 12 , i li w carter! ; o it) traiiSiei• iht it ?ewer es. , il thr;e privilege to Budges appointed by t i re thief Juetice of the Kineo Pence, ; that was a most dan gerous principle.—(Hear.)

A Judge ou g ht not to be dragged into such matters as appointing pers ins to decide on Parliamentary law ; those persons being nomi nate I might be accused of partiality, and if they did wrong, the reflected shadow of that wrong would he cas on the Judges who appointed them.—( Hear, he ir.) did not to cast reflections on the Judges of the 'King', Bench, or on his Noble Friend, Lord Brougham and Vain —(Laughter)—but the principle of his objections were ap plicable to all future Chancellors and Judges, and at all times.—(Hear ) By the present clause the Judges were to be treated as Excise-officers, and dealt with in a man. ner that a barrister of a year's standing would be ashamed of. But what took place in clause 25 was of a more strange description still. There these judicial malefactors, by an accidental deviation from the orders of the Bill were to be tried in an action of debt. He (Sir C. We therell) wishad to know what price his Learned Friend (the Attorney-General) put on the heads of those Learned •fudges who were to be thus treated ; was a tribunal to be subject to such degradation ? Was such a despicable Judicature, so open to partizanships, to be for one moment tolerated.—(Hear.) At least, if these cri minal Judges were to be subjected to all be adverted to, he thought they should be better paid. A poor paltry Si. a day was but a mean compensation for the drudgery they would have to go through, and the odium and disrespect they might bring upon themselves innocently. With respect to the subject of expense, he was not aware how many of these Learned Judges were to be appointed, there were, however, to be 65 counties, and he could not see how less than 65 Judges could be ap pointed. When appointed, the question was, how they were to be paid ? They must either be remunerated trout the Treasury or from the county rates, in either of which cases he would venture to predict the instigators of such a meisure would not suc ceed. Perhaps, however, the Noble Lord opposite (A , - thorp) would, in the plethora of his generosity put the expense of the salaries of those Judges into the miscellaneous estimate , . He had made a sort of sum mary of the expence of these learned but degraded person ages, and he had no hesitation in saying it would cost the country above 20,000/. He considered the present plan so crude that it never could be perfectly carried into effect ; if it ever should come into existence, it would operate a great deal of confusion, and lie attended by very different consequences to those which the promoters expected. - The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was lure it was quite impossible that any body could have heard his Learned Friend without being delighted and amused with his wit and ingenuity ; but he must be allowed to say, that wit and ingenuity had been directed to points which had been fully discussed and satisfactorily decided by the House last night. With regard to the delays, whether he was justified in calling them frivilous and vexatious, he would not now say, because be saw a strong disposition on the other aide of the House to argue the case fairly on its own merits. There was no doubt that some of the friends of the Bill had thrown difficulties in the way of its passing, but that completely upset the assertion of Hon. 'Umbels on the other side, those Members were pledged and bound down to vote for the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, and that they had no opinion of their own. his Majesty's Go vernment had been taunted with making repeated altera tions in the Bill. If it was a crime to make any thing already good better, he (the Attorney-General) would plead guilty to the charge ; but he denied that any of the alterations that had been made took aught from the great principle of the Bill, or that it had at all sunk in the estimation of the county.—(Hear, heir.) The good opinion of the public had, like a smooth stream, gone rippling on, till it had been increased by tributary streams to the vast ocean—the whole country were in favour of the Bill, and were looking forward to its passing with the brightest hopes. His Learned and Hon. Friend's high-sounding resolution, from which many would be led to suppose some great inroad was about to be made on the Constitution, had dwindled into a modest motion, in bringing forward which he had so wrapped up his speech in witicisms that it was no small difficulty to follow him through his long labyrinths. His lion. Friend had deprecated the appointment of these Judges tieing with the Lord Chancellor, in that he was entirely mistaken. The Great Seal had only to approve, and not to appoint. It was true it was in the breast of that Noble Lord, whether the appointment should take place or not, but every person must see the pursuing of such a comae would be attended with the best results. It was then said that the office was such as to be unworthy tie acceptance of a barrister of eminence. Why it was well known that there were hundred's of barristers who had no business (he was sorry to say so), who would gladly accept such a situation, rather than lead a dilatory life. By the appointment of these men the public had the securityand respectability of the Bar, and the high veto of the Great Seal, as a pledge that these Judges would do their duty. His Hon. and Learned Friend had stated that these Judges would be liable to actions. Did he forget that the present Learned Judges of this country were sub ject to the same thing? Did the lion. Member not know that a Learned Judge refusing to sign a bill of exceptions,' or a writ of habeas empus, was liable to the penalty of 5001. ; nay, more, formerly Judges were not allowed to try causes in their own county. With r e sp e ct to the remuneration to be al lowed t o t h ese J u d ges , h e had not seen the clause sinc e th e bl an k s h ad b een fill e d up, or he certainly should h ave propose d t h e mo re appropriate sum of five guineas i n th e pl ace of 51.-9-( L a ughter)—but per haps that would not have met the approbation of hi s H ononra bl e F r i en d the Member for Middles e x, wh o might p ro b a bly h ave thought it much too large a sum. The Hon. anti Learned 11Iember contended fur the pro priety of appointing barristers, and stated that 4 sofficAent prot!-ction was afforded fur impartiality and propriety in their conduct in 2mo - her clause, which provided for the punishment of those who might be found to be remiss or negligent in their duty. There was one thing some Hon. Gentlemen seemed to have almost lost sight of, which wee, that the country and the House of Commooe lead adopted the principle of the Bill, and, thesafoae, he objected to arty discussion being raised on the general merits of the Bill, or on any part of it which had been already sanctioned by th e H ous e. Then having determined upon - the prin ..ciple, the course pursued by his Majesty's govaaoMeot was, in his humble opinion, the last suited to carry that pr inciple into etryct t -- si r f„ STOW3N observed that his Hon. and Learned iend (the Attorney-General) appeared to have a desire to force on the discussion as to the general principle o; the Bill.

He had, on a former iccasioa, heard the Honourable and Learned Nlember for Boroughbridge, he believed, some two or three months Igo, declare that he was then, as he supposed, deliver- M g his last speech, with some of the solemnities of •eligion, and with the apparent sincerity of a dying man. An HON. AIEMBER said it was nearly six months ago. Mr. J. 'WILLIAMS—" I beg pardon, I take no note f time but by its loss."—(General laughter. ) The H, n. qember said he was glad to find that his Hon. and Learned Friend had been very hypochondriacal on the occasion. iiuded to. No man in Europe had since fought more 'tattles and skirmishes than that Hon. and LearnedGent'eman 'fe (Mr. J. Williams) however, thought th It that Hon. old Learned Gentleman was now near his end. He must 1. that notwithstanding that Hon. Gentleman had not ioined in the pledge which all had so anxiously accepted, :et as almost every other clause respected only some trifling imitation of this his principal and roost constitutional .bjection, it would not be po.sible for him to persevere ouch more in the exhibition of his talent, for humor mixed ip with so much argument. He (11r.W.) considered this iteasure in conformity with the rest of the Bill ; the objec ions to it were fallacious, and he would give the clause his support. Mr. NORTH considered the practical arrangemets devised by the Bill quite imperfect, and they would be found, if car ried into operation, altogether unsatisfactory. The cl luxe did not give sufficient powers to the barristers, and although their appointment might without much objection be vested in the Judges, with the veto of the Lord Chancellor, yet the remuneration proposed, was inadequate to secure barristers of respectability and talent. It would have a most undiscernable effect in causing the barristers ap pointed to be pointed at, as the favourites of the Judges, Ind he did not see how, consistently with the independence of the Bar, that objection could be ,net. Lord ALTHORP said that during the discussions it tad been alleged that be had imposed mo.t impro perly the payment of the barristers on the public. and not on the county rates, lest he should have been opposed by county Members. The latter mode he considered altogether improper. It might have applied when Barristers were confined to county elections, hut could have no proper application in electionf for eiti.'s and boroughs : and as the benefi . of registration went to the public, he was clearly of opinion that the public should bear the expence. Very much bad been said respecting the payment of barristers. He considered it might he mo tive sufficient for their undertaking the labour, that by so iMing,they would make themselves known,aud increase their legal emoluments. He did think that if it were intended to send Barristers into their own curcuits, the emolu meats proposed were sufficient ; if not, it would be necessarily greatly to increase them. But would it not, if the system were at all to be carried into effect, he easier to increase than to lower the proposed salary. After some further observations from Lord Althorp, Mr. Gordon, Mr. C. Grant, Mr. Campbell, Colonel Sib thorpe, and Mr. Pelham, clause 31 was agreed to without a division. The CHAIRMAN then put the next clause, and at Half past Six the Committee were (LEFT SITTING.) ociat& BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. This morning the diversions of this ancient fair com menced, with all the usu.l diversified species of amuse ment so distinguished at this far-famed annual mart. The civic authorities have for some time past endeavoured to adopt measures, if not for the entire abolition of the charter under which it is held, to curtail it as much as possible in its dimension., in which they have in some de gree succeeded, inasmuch as there are in Giltspur-street. Smithfield-bars, Long-lane, and the other inl e ts to Smith - .. field, none of those tilted stalls erected, as on former occasions, so that the fair is now entirely confined to Smithfield, and the public are thereby enabled to approach without being almost crushed to death by the crowd, saving nothing about their liability of being de prived of their pocket•handkerchiels and other appurte nances by the conveyancers, who generally used to assemble in great numbers in the approaches to the fair. At about eleven o'clock the sound of a trumpet announced the ap proach of the civic procession to pt oclairo it, and presently the Lord Mayor, in his state carriage, attended by his Mace ' , eater, Town Crier, Bic., and accompanied by his daughter, entered the arena, followed by the two Sheriffs and their deputies in their state carriages. His Lord ship and his retinue then proceeded into Cloth fair, where from a window of the corner house, that part of the charter under which the fair is held, as also the proclamation issued by the Lord Mayor compelling good order and propriety during the continuarxe of the lair, was read by the crier, after which the civic procession returned in the same manner it came, the bands of Wombwell's menagerie striking up the National Anthem, and the othef exhibitions also joining. The moment after the Lord Mayor had left tan fair, the fun and merriment commenced as if Iv name magic power, and in a moment all the Erotesve figures—we beg pardon, members of the esta'blliraents—rushed forth and business iturneriia . ,ely commenced, and just a-going to begilk waft shouted in every direction, and every thing see. ;41 in be all alive, (sausages excepted.)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HO USE OF COMMONS, SzPrErsxn 2. !Continued from our Second Edition of yesterday.) Mr. MORTON presented a petition front Gloucester against the Bill which had been introduced to regulate the hiring, &c. of servants. Mc. WILKS was happy to inform the Honourable Member that the Bill to which the petition alluded was Avithdrawn, or at least it was to be read a second time that day six months, which was equivalent to it. For Limo& he considered it a highly improper and obnoxious measure. Mr. 11 , 10RETON also presented two petitions of a simi lar nature from different parts of Gloucestershire. Lord KILLEEN presented a petition from the Roman Catholic Prelates in the province of Ulster, against the grant to the Ktldare-street Society ; also a petition from Linark, praying the House to take into eansidera tion the law, as it at present existed, relative to the marriages of Catholics with Protestants. The peti tioners stated, that the law had caused much immorality, arid prayed that marriages celebrated by Catholic clergy men might be legal. Mr. O'CONNELL observed that Jews and Quakers could marry among themselves, and he was anxious that Catholics should enjoy the same privilege. Sir J. NEWPORT thought it impossible that the law as it at present stood could remain 'crag in existence. Mr. WILKS felt confident that the serious attention of the Legistature must be veiled o this subject, and that shortly. Sir J. BURKE supported the petition. Mr. RUTHVEN suggested that m arriages by Catholic Clergymen should be considered valid. Dr. LUSHINGTON was of opiaion that there never yet was a law more practically unjust, or more itn possible to be carried into effect, because it sup posed that the Clergyman who had to unite the parties must be acquainted with their interest'. Such a law would not exist in this country forty-eight hourm.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that Government would provide a. speedy and efficient remedy. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for the House going into a Committee ea the Reform Nil. Sir RICHARD VYVYAN wished to put a ques tion to his Noble Friend, the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, relative to Belgium and Hol land, but as his Noble Friend was not in his place, he would put the question to the Noble Lotd opposite (Althorp). He had seen in the newspapers of last night and this morning three or four Protocols dated from the 6th to the 23d of August. The first related to the con tinuance of some of the French troops in the Belgian territory; the second, to information that had been received from the Cabinet of France ; the third, to a plan which the several Powers intended to adopt; and the, fourth, to a new armistice which had been laid down, and which it wasexpected that Belgium and lions:Ml wonhi agree to. The latter proposed the estab!iahment of a suspension of hostilities for six weeks, during which period the respec tive troops were not to go beyond their lines. It waters() said that from additional information it appeared that the Dutch troops had retired. On a former neessinn, when a question was put to the Noble Lord in that Huuse, whether in the event of the Dutch troops retiring, the French troops wou'd retire also, the Noble Lord stated that the English Government had been assured that the French troops would retire. This assurance was of greet importance, for if a number of French troops, however mall, remained in Belgium after the Dutch troops were withdrawn, the honour of this country was deeply vont'erusd, and hie Majesty's Government would have to answer for their conduct. He now begged to ask whether the armistice had been acceded to by either Belgium or Holland, anti if it had, he wished to know whether France had renewed her assurance that the French troops should be with from Belgium ? it had, however, beep stated in the newspapers that the French spew would remain as art army of occupation. Should the Dutch accept the ar tnistice, and the French troops remain after the Dutch troops were withdrawn), the honour of this country would be deeply concerned in the transaction. Lard ALTHORP said that he bad not bad t;e no to read the different newspaper; and therefore be 'etiuld not say whether the docuwooks alluded to were correct or nut, but certainly Ptotooola of the description mentioned by the Honaiiralde 133ronet had been agreed to by the. conference. lint with regard ti the other cotillions he could give no answer, nor could he - state the reason why his Noble Friend (Lord Palmerston) eras not in his place. It was impossible that any gentleman should wish to involve this country in a war, hut he must say that the course l'oarsued by the Hon. Baronet might have that ten-. deacy. Sir R. VYVYAN repeated that the honour of the country was concerned in this transaction. fl, had asked two questions relating to matters of fact, and tlnt;e were, t w i he i t i h o t il r an th d e ; ar a m n i d stic if e h n ati , bvevehnethaecreepttleted by troops tgluinor were withdrawn. The House had been told on a former night that the French troops were to be withdrawn, and he wished to know whether they were or not. Colonel NI OOD said, as the Reform Bill was now ar riving at those clauses which related to reg;stration, he begged to state that he had expressed his intention of taking the state of the Committee upon thaw clauses, that he would take the decision of the House upon the 29th clause, and if that was against him, he would not trouble be Con:miner upon the other.. ____ REFORM BILL. The House having gone into Committee on the Bill, Colonel WOOD gave notice that he should take the sense of the Committee with regard to his views of registration upon the 29th Clause being proposed. The 25th clause was then put and agreed to without discussion. The clause is as follows : " And he it enacted, that one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State:hall forthwith caner biopics of such re ports to be laid before both Houses of Parliament, if then bitting, or if not sitting, then within ten days after their sitting; and in case both Houses of Parliament shall vote ad Tresses to his Majesty, praying his Itlajesty to issue his royal proclima_ti.ms for making known the reports of the said Commissioners, it shall be lawful for his Maleaiy to issue such his royal proclamations ac s.'ordingly, from the date of which respective proda-• motion, every county enumerated in the said schedule (G) shall, for the purposes of this Act, be and remain di- vided into two divisions, aecording to the determination of the said Commissioners ; and each division shall returri two Knights of the Shire to serve for the same in all fu ture Par)iatnents ; and every vounty or division of a ciailty for the purposes of this Act, include any porticos of any other county that may have been incorporated 6% lE _ with by the deterraination of the said Commissionera ;'and every suck city and borough as afareesiil shall, ioi; 3 tlv wi t h the wholeor any part or p ar t s o f any parish, township, er !CAA*, parishes, towushiß4 br places, that 'way have been. incorporated with swls city or borough, or with any peace sharing in the tlection for such city or borough, by the de termini:4Al, of the said Commisaioners, be a city or bo ro.u&-b for tae purpose of electieig•a Member or Meinhere serve in- all future Parliaments ; and the limits and boundaries of every In.rough mentioned in the said tithe duleb (C end L) shall be and remain as ascertained and decleTed Ly the said Commisslook-rs; provided always, that iM ease either House of Par4arnent shall, instead of voting an address to his lkiajekty in any of the cases bereimbeforv* mentioned, roe that both or either of the said report& of the tekid Commissioners shall be referred back to the said commissioners, to be them revised and amended, in suoh ease the said Corot4saioners, or any 16 of them, shall be, and they are lektby, authorized and required to revise and amend tke report or reports so referred hick to them, and i4rovneciiately after the revision and amendment thereof, , • • cause the same so revised and amended to be laid before both Houses of rebrkament, if then sitting, or if not sitting, then withi.a ten days after their sitting; and in care both Houses of Parliament shalt vote an address to his Majesty, praying , his Majemy to 'tune his royal proclamation or pro clamations, f••:,r making known the report or reports so re vised and amended, it shall be lawful for Is;.
