pledged to Reform, and nobly had they redeemed their pledge. G. ToI.LETT, Esq. thought Government by King, Lords, and Commons, the noblest work of the human u nderstanding. But the Government .by King, Lords, and People, had been enslaved, for the last forty years by a little oligarchy—hut thank God that oligarchy would soon be destroyed. —(Lou) applause.)—Mr. Tol led then expressed his warm approbation of the principles of the Bill, and after noticing some o bjection., said that as an old reformer he must find some fault, and that fault was that a population of 40 or 60,000 persons in the pot teries had been overlooked ; but still he felt gratified that Ministers had brought forward the measure on the Ist cf March, so perfect as they had done —(Loud cheering.) The Rev. W. Lamar trusted the freeholder's of Staffurd shire would not restrain themselves to the sacrifice of the lips—but be ready to support their Gracious Monarch in promoting Reform.—(Yes, yes, and loud applause.) G. Wutetuoia, Esq. proposed the fourth resolution, and congratul ited the meeting that the question of Reform was no longer brought forward as a party question. Whigs and Tories had amalgamated and sacrificed party distinc tions on the altar of their country. STUBBS WIIITWICK, Esq. is seconding the resolution. wiabed to see the measure pass as it stood—not " curtailed of its fair proportions"—but to descend a splendid gift to future generations and become the Magna Charta of the land, ensering to us a perfect government and liberty and peace. The Rev. J. CLARE would lose two votes by the mea sure, but if he had twenty votes, he would he happy to sacrifice them. The Rev. Gentleman. then went on to ob serve that it was impossible for the plan to fail of success when supported by the King and Ministry, and people united.—(Applause.) ALEXANDER. lloansast, Esq.—as it had been fre quently asserted that the meaure was a breach of the Con • stitution, wished to know what constitution was meant. Was it meant to he said our Government had been, or ought to he stationary ? It could not be. We had gone on fr in , improvement to improvement—and must con tinue to do so. Mr. T.,MLINSON, of Cliffe Ville, next addressed the meeting. and said the Bill might fairly be divided into three parts : of the extension of the franchise he heartily approved; and also of the regulations for conducting elec tions ; though he would make bribery more difficult by obliging every Member and his agents to take an oath that bribery had not been practised. Gaming to the third division of the Bill, that which disfranchised freemen, he should think himself wanting to his neighbours, if he did not lift up his voice to proclaim it unjust and unnecessary.— (Loud hissing.)—" I repeat," said Mr. Tomlinaon. with considerable vehemence excited probably by the hissing, " I repeat, th it it is unjust and unnecessary." This earnest repetition was the signal for renewed uproar. At ist the High Sheriff interfered—when Mr. Tomlinson after stating that he stood there as a freeholder—again ut tered at the utmost extent of his voice the obnoxious sen tence. From this period it became impossible to collect what he said—further than that for about ten minutes, its the midst of great uproar. Mr. Gemara—lt is a duty of every freeborn English man boldly to stand forth and to raise his voice in support of his beloved King and his counsellors, and to throw his mite of assistance, however small, into the scale of justice and of right. Gentlemen, a new sera is opening upon the world ; the spirit of Reform and renovation is abroad; it has taken its flight from the towers of St. Cloud, and the chartered abuses of ages are rapidly being brushed away by the onward sweep of its wings.—(Applause ) France has roused herself from her lethargy, and shaken from around her the tratnmels of absolutism ; Belgium has vindicated her national rights, and the flag of inde nendeece waves free to the winds on the walls of Brussels; Italy has caught the general flame ; and perhaps at the very moment that I am speaking, thousands of high. minded and self-devoting Poles are pouring out their hearts'-blood under the walls of Warsaw, and resiat ing, inch by inch, the overwhelming myriads of the bar barian of the nnrth—(Loud cheers)—and, gentlemen, shall it be said that England—proverbially the wise, the enlightened, and the free—shall it he said that England halts behind in the march of reformation, and is content to follow at an humble distance in the wake of nations ? (Cries of " No, no.") And—to bring the matter mote home to ourselves —at a time when a measure of Reform is proposed, worthy of the men who framed it and of the times in which it is broached - ; when the whole country is inrnotion from north to south, and petitions in favour of the Bill are pouring in from every county, town, and bariac. :o the kingdom, shall it be said that the'county of Stafford, pre-eminent for the ounsb,e., the wealth, and the intelligence of its freeholders, refuses to join the general cry for redress, and remain in sluggish apathy and indif ference when all the world is in action around it ? (" Cries of " No, no, no.") No, Gentlemen, I feel convinced that your conduct this day will refute a suppo iition at -nee so unworthy of the times and of you. The speaker retired amidst shouts of applause from a highly gratified auditory. Sir E. D. Scour in moving that the High Sheriff should present the address to his Majesty, shortly ad dressed the freeholders, observing that a‘ti r signing the requisition, though unused to public speaking be should think he dill not show the proper spirit of an English gentleman, if he did not come forward and avow himself a supporter of the present measure.—(Cheers.) —lt was high time that towns distinguished for the wealth, intel ligence, and activity of their inhabitants should be repre sented, and close boroughs deprived of their abused privi lege.—(Cheers.) E ATE}Ij oi, Esq., (the late High Sheriff) then ad dressed the meeting. but was inaudible where we stood. The remaining motions were then moved and seconded ; and aftrr thanks as ate voted to the High Sheriff, and he had expreeaed his acknowledgments, the meeting broke up with three times three cheers for the King, and a com pliment of three cheers fur Earl Gower. LONDON.—The Reform petition of the mer chants and hankers lying at the Mansion-house, received a vast number of signatures on Thursday. Several gen tlemen were obliged to wait for some minutes before they could get to the tables to attach their signatures. The Lord Mayor. anxious that the hulk of the petitions should bear a fair proportion to their merit and import ance, has determined that they shall lie fur signatures in the lower ball of the Mansion-house for some days longer. it is believed that no petitions have ever been presented to Parliament signed by so great a number of affluent, re spectable, and influential men. GLASTONBURY. —The result of the second reading of the Reiman (or rather Regeneration) Bill, so soon as the mail reached Glastonbury and Street, was joyfully announced by the merry and lengthened peals of our ex cellent bells. What say the slave holders and borough mongers now? and where is now the pseudo loyalty and public. spirit ? Country Paver. DUMFRIES. --The important tidings that the Reform Bill had passed, even by the narrow majority of one, dif fused the greatest joy in Dumfries. At eight o'clock, a.m., on Friday lase, the guard of the Independent com municated the fact to all and sundry, on the authority of an express, which bad reached Carlisle before he left that city. and shortly after the arrival of the mail confirmed she intelligence. At this time nearly a hundred eager petitici ins were assembled in the Commercial Reading Rooms, on the very tiptoe of expectation, and the moment the newspapers were opened the cheering was so loud and enthusiastic, that those stationed below actually felt the walls of the building shaking. Anon the Magistrates set the bells a ringing, the Incorporations displayed their flags from the windows of the Trades' Hall, and every thing betokened a complete holiday..--Durnfries Courier. BRUTON.—The intelligence of the Ilefirm Bill having sucee , aftilly passed the second stage, its ita comae through the House of Commons, reached this town at late hour on Wednesday evening. A party of commer cial gentlemen happened to be collected for the night at the Blue Batt inn in this town, and they suggested the propriety of an instant and consequently it midnight peal, and subscribed a necessary sum for the remuneration of the ringers. The ringers, though they had retired to rest, cheerfully obeyed the summons, emerged from their dor mitories, and, in less than half-an-hour from the first arrival of the news, this little loyal town presented a vivid scene of patriotic rejoicing, and the hells were pouring north as loud, merry, anti melodious a peal as ever re founded from the ancient and beantifal tower of our church EASTER MONDAY'S HUNT.—Otif LAti friend Toat BOUNDING has been preparing an extra treat f r the annual hunters, and something fit for your regular Derby and King's men. The tarn-out will take place at twelve precisely, and if the first deer does not afford sport enough, a second one will, one that has already given two e xcellent cha ses of three hours each ; and although not quite so long nor yet so brilliant as the splendid chase with the Derby last Tuesday, yet quite sufficient to in duce some of those who were there and thereabouts, to put on their bit o' pink to support old Ton on Easter Monday. Alexander, an uncommon capital deer, gave those well-appointed hunters a run of four bours and a halt across a deep hunting country tipwards of lot ty from home- NIEBUHR. (From the Morning Chrotaict.) ~ ___ The death of Niebuhr, while it deprives us of one of the brightest ornaments of literature, and leaves a void in that peculiar branch of it to which this great man more immediately directed his attention, fills us no less with regret for the loss of a person with whom we have learned to connect such estimable qualities of the heart as well as the mind. It is true, he had many enemies, men who are malicious enough to rail who will not be slow to raise over his grave, their voices in the condemnation of one, before whom, when living, they were glad to find a shelter to hide their diminished heads. Niebuhr was a bold censurer, and was thus led, very fre quently, to appreciate the merits of others more truly than judiciously. In Germany, where an over-zeal for literature often involves its devotees in a personal feud, when even the technicalities of phraseology, the obscure hints of a commen tator, the very non intelligo of a rival Editor can convert the closest intimacy into the most deadly hatred, it is not much to be wondered at that Niebuhr, in chasing before him the swarms of drones he was at times compelled to disperse, incurred their enmity when they could not deny him their admiration. _ _ _ ...... _ In his family, and by all who knew him, he was beloved and respected ; and, even amongst those who did not know him, he always com manded esteem. His habits of life were tem perate ; his application incessant ; and his erudi non unbounded. He was not a man cast for the turbulent scenes in which he had lived, though in them he had taken a part, and that, too, a zealous part. They had lent him, how.- ever, an experience, that taught him from analogy to pierce futurity, and resolve history into so many 'cycles of events. I recollect to have heard him, on the morning he received the re port of the late revolution in Paris, descant upon the consequences to the several nations of Europe ; and so far the result has verified his words. He had received the first intelligence of this great event, and devoted the hour usually apportioned to his lecture, to its description and probable issue. None of the audience were at - all conscious of it, and it fell upon all with a ' convulsive shock, that struck with a simultaneous dread, so deeply rooted in men's minds are the horrors of the former revolution. The feelings with which the students of the University re garded this man were never more identified than upon this occasion. Each looked upon him as a father and adviser, as he eloquently adverted to their father-land, upon which he spoke with a freedom that, while it vindicated himself from bias, still dictated rules of wisdom and worth to all. Niebuhr was educated strictly and severely in the discipline of his father, whose memory he al ays cherished as dear, in testimony of which there remains to us a simple and beautiful me morial in his smaller writings. Like him, he was well versed in Arabic, though in the latter years of his life he did not devote much atten tion to it, probably deeming it, as Reiske was at last obliged to confess, but a poor indemnifica tion for the loss of time. His love for England was intense, with which not only his residence in this country tended to imbue him, but also a more intimate knowledge of each period of its history, its free institutions, and the unbending character of its people, that seemed framed to command, while, on the other hand, he was ac customed to deplore the lack of such a spirit amongst his fellow-countrymen. When we say that Niebuhr was not suited to the scenes in • which he lived, we mean, that though full of the energy of the times, he was not always prepared to decide upon them. His political conduct cannot be impugned; he was a liberal, and as such lived under a despotic Government. This course of conduct, he knew, did not tend to the attainment of place or power ; but he pursued it, conscious that it was established in right. He viewed each change with the eye of a calm philosopher, and was a just judge of human nature. In his disposition he was cheerful and gay, and adapted his con versation to his hearers, always playful and good humoured, and abounding in anecdote. His lectures were the same, diversified by the narra tion of coincident facts and frequent digressions ; yet, though at first he seemed to the student to wander front the subject, he led him, by an un trodden and entertaining path, to the just and historical conclusion. His memory was accu rate to a degree almost marvellous. Supported by it alone, he used to travel through the detail of the most intricate portions of ancient history, for his lectures were invariably delivered with out a recurrence to notes ; and yet he pursued his path with a steady and cautious step, never either wanting facts or words in which to com municate them. At Bonn he lived for several sears, not as Professor, but lecturing merely from option. His literary occupations there formed his sole delight ; he lived, and enjoyed ease and inde pendence, in time bosom of his family and a few friends, with the laudable ambition of perpetu ating his fame. This was to him real and unal loyed enjoyment ; he had survived days of ad versity and trouble, and had arrived at an age when he could remember them with pleasure. Fate did not long permit him the enjoyment of tide repose ; he died in his fifty-fourth year, after an dines.; of but a few days. The burning of his house occurred about a year since, and the disorder into which his library was thrown by this accident cost him much anxiety and trouble in remodelling it. By the scholar his memory must be always held in esteem—to the friend it must ever remain dear. His loss to the farmer is great, when we remember, that, after having spent years in collecting materials for his his tory, he should after ail, have left it incom plete. Enough, however, remains to preserve his fame unsullied, when the cavillings of his ene mies shall have teased, and when it shall be for gotten or doubted whether such ever existed. To the latter the lines of the spripathising poet will readily suggest themselves " Cui pudor, Ineorrupta tides, nudaque veritas— Quandii inveniet paretn ?" T, 31. D. There is to be no Easter Ball at the Mansion house this year. Three years ago, in consequence of the nuisance occasioned,,by the crowding of " all sorts," a nd the frequent and violent contests for refreshments, the ChiA Magiati ate determined to put a atop to the annual an• noyanee, and the ball has been since discontinued. It was supposed that the present Loan MAYott would be in duced, by the universal juy caused by the introduction of the new Reform Bill, to give the citizens' wives and of testifying their approbation olirgtlii'et"Lassn opportunityureiey-tripping it " on the light fantastic toe," in the place from whence has issued so strong a supporter as the petition of the merchanth and bankers. It is, however, s mistake ; the Loan MAYOR, whp re ceived many letters, containing an appeal to that effect, repli e d generally, to those who addressed hitn, that, al, though he had not the merit of originating the Easter Ball Reform, he should certainly supprt the Bill during his Adiniutration, STATE OF SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 22d of last month contains one of those barbarous decrees, by the issuing of which the Government of Spain has, since the restara;ion of Ferdinand to absolute power, been too often distinguished and disgraced. The occasion which has given birth to this decree is the insurrection in Cadiz and its neighbourhood, and it must he admitted that in a crisis of great clang. r* and difficulty any Government would be expected to resort to means of self-preservation. But it i. remarkable that though Ferdinand describes the efforts of the Constitutionalists as totally powerless and insignificant, he, at the same time, thinks it ne cessary to udopt the most extraordinary and arbi trary measures, and to surpass in violence and seve rity all his previous despotic edicts. The present decree übjects the inhabitants of Madrid and of all the provincial capitals in which the Ceptains-Gt neml may think fit to institute courts-martial, to rn litary execution, and among the offences to he tried by these tribunals is the circulating alarming accounts relative to the force of the insurgents; so that if a man were to report the fact of the ap pearance of a Constitutional corps on any point, he would be' liable to be shot! The following i s the preamble : " The shameful and dating incursions which the rebel faction has had the hardihood to execute on various points of the kingdom, the unexpected occurrences at Cadiz and the Isla, and many other transactions of a highly criminal nature, which have taken place simultaneously in different places, have fully convinced my Royal mind of the existence of a revolutionary focus, which, carrying into effect the plans hatched in other countries by the Corypheos and directors of the sects of darkness, emits nothing which may be supposed capable of promoting the work of iniquity which those men have planned for themselves. The con sequences of such attempts have, however, been what was to he expected from the valour and decision of my troops, the often confirmed loyalty of the Royalist Volunteers, and the intimate conviction of the whole people--produced by the recollection of times of odious character—that the fe'i city and tranquillity of the country depend on the pre servation of its ancient and venerable laws, and of the throne on which the Almighty has placed me, and on which I have been repeatedly maintained by the love and pure fidelity of my subjects. The revolu tionary hordes have been every where beaten and de stroyed. Every where has loyalty, with indignation, re jected the flattering promises of perfidy ; and the people hive every where manifested disgust at the plots and in trigues which have been put in action to induce theta to withdraw their love and respect from the Government and the religion of their forefathers. But, notwithstanding all this, from which I must conclude that the basis on which the evil disposed rest their calculations and machi nations are ephemeral, sound policy, and the duty I have to fulfil, in preventing crimes, that the inconsiderate may not patticipate in their commission, either through seduc tion or deceit, have also convinced my Royal mind that the penalties hitherto enacted by the laws, and Royal de crees, against the perpetrators of such atrocious and cri minal deeds, are not, and cannot be, sufficient to repress these crimes, if, previously to the infliction of the penal ties, all the forms and solemnities are to he observed which the said laws direct to be observed in tranquil times. Wherefore, and with reference to what under circumstances similar to the present I was pleased to command in my Royal order of the 13th of January, 1824, in conformity with the opinion of my Council of Ministers, I have thought proper to resolve, &c." A der ree of 19 articles follows, the first of which establishes a permanent military commission in Ma drid, arid the second directs the establishment of similar commissions in any of the provincial capitals in ‘‘hick the Captains-General may think them ne cessary. The remaining articles relate to the consti tution of the commissions, and the execution of their functions. The individuals subject to be tried by these commissions are, according to the sth article, all who may be charged, from the installation of the commission, with the offences recapitulated in arti cles 2,3, 4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9, of the decree of the Ist of October last. The 6th article, which is the most remarkable, is in the following terms :-- "Also are subject to be tried by the said commission all persons who, after the epoch above states), shall declare themselves, by arms or acts, enemies of the legitimate rights of my throne, or partisans of the abolished consti tution ; those who write papers or pasquinades with the same views ; those who speak against my sove reignty ; those who seduce or attempt to seduce others with words, promises, or gifts, from their fidelity to my royal person ; or who form any party having for its object to aid the plans of the rebel faction ; and those who spread alarming news relative to the forces of the faction, or any other thing of the like nature which may reasonably excite fear in the minds of the peaceful inhabitants." The same Gazette contains a Royal order ad dressed by the War Minister to the Captains- General of Cuba, Puerto-Thco, and the Phillip pines, recommending to them to take every possible means of preventing the public mind in their go vernments from being alarmed by news circulated by evil-disposed persons in letters, apocryphal pa pers, and foreign journals. They are informed that all the real news is to be found in the Madrid Ga zelle, and all the details which have already ap peared in that veracious journal r e specting the insur rections are repeated in royal circulars for the be nefit of Ferdinand's transmarine subjects. The following article appears in the unofficial ,art of the Gazelle : 44 MADRID, MARCII 20. " In the course of last Saturday, a number of placards bearing treasonable inscriptions of the 54111 e description as appeared o❑ the morning of the 6th, were found scattered about in several streets. This new mode of conspiracy against public order is in itself a proof of the weakness of the rebels, who have nut even the courage to post up a pasquinade, and is so far consolatory, inasmuch as it shows that they have a feeling of distrust and want of confidence in themstives. In these placards an appeal is made to the Royalist volunteers to unite in the destruction of the throne and of religion ; and it is but fair to suppose that if the rebels call upon the Royalists, it is because they have no confidence in their own strength. Thus, then, our con viction is further confirmed, though it is a pait'ul reflec tion, that nothing but the cannon and the sword cf the Royal armies will be able to demonstrate a truth which it has been the object of all our arguments to prove. "In a word, we avow, that if the rebels gave ❑s pain when they had confidence in their own power, they excite our derision when they suppose defection, or rather the suicide of the Royalists, possible That any change can be effected in the sentiments of a popu'ar militia, ♦olun tarily organised from a class the most prudent and incorruptible in the nation, and which has bad the best experience of the manner in which the promises of liberalism are fulfilled, is such au absurd supposition as could only find place i❑ the imagination of those who measure the moral state of all the people of the king dom by their own corrupt thoughts; and who say there is no faith in nations, because they hwe been condemned to lose all credit themselves. Already Torrijos, in his cele lebrated manifesto, and afterwards the emigrants from Gibraltar, in their last proclamations, have invoked this extraordinary coalition of the Royalists with the Liberals. Indeed, it is a pity that they cannot revive the spirits of Manzanares, Bordas, and Chapalangarra, to proclaim throughout Spain the change and favour which this invi tation has effected in the minds of the Royalists towards the Liber rls. It is a pity, too, that they are not alive to tell of the flexibility of the poor goatherd, whom the offer of two bags of dollars could not corrupt." The last sentence in .the above letter has reference to a story related in o,e Madrid account of the de feat of Manzauares. It is said that he had endea vouned to bribe some goatherds to serve him as guides. These rren, it seems, agreed, but betrayed him and his few followers into the hands of the enemy. On discovering their treachery, he drew his sword and ran one of tlie goat herds through the body, but the goatherd's broths r, who was armed with a musket, immediately fired and shot Manza nare3 dead on the spot. Such is in substance the account which Ferdirtand's tools give of this event.

The events of which we received the intelligence just us we were finishing our article on Belgium of yesterday are full of interest. The result of the movements which have taken place is a new proof of the weakness of the Orange party in that country. Our own report may, we trust, he relied on for correctness, but we cannot read without some su , picion the letter from Brussels in the Times of yesterday. It is there stated that the Prince of ORANGE, had only to show himself in the majority of the provinces to excite the entire population► in his favour—that a strict police alone prevented the in habitants of Brussels from declaring themselves .and that a single word pronounced in favour of the Prince was instantly punished with im prisonment. 'Those who will take the trouble to re,id the Journals of the Orange party, the Vial Patriole, the Messager de Gaud, and the Journal du Commerce d' Anvers, will have difficulty in believing the last of these assertions.— T hose who have watched the march of events Belgium, who have seen the failure of all the attempts in favour of the House of Orange, and who are aware of the effervescence of patriotic zeal which now pervades Brussels, will be somewhat doubtful of the alleged strength of the Orange party. A conspiracy in the army had been for some days suspected. It was believed by the people that Ge nerals, Colonels, and other officers of rank, partook of it, and immediate justice was demanded of the REGENT by a crowd, who repaired to him for that purpose. The REGENT informed the mob that 30 prompt a vengeance was impossible and dangerous, and that proceedings should be legally commenced and justice done. But an assemblage of thousands of persons had collected and by them the excesses were committed, which ever y one must lament. Many houses of the Oraugeists, and thu office of the Vrai Patriots ngt them, were pillaged an d a l mos t demolished. At nu) Ghent people a l so aftate k e d t h e office of the Messager; but at A n t werp t h ere was no di s t ur bance. The Belgian Journ a l s l ament , as muc h as w e do, as t the these commotions, but the result of them affords a new proof of the rooted aversion of the Belgians to the House of Orange, and of its utter inability to make head again in Belgium. The desire of the Belgians to unite themselves to France has often been inferred from the predomi nance of what is called the French party in the late Cabinet. The Mi n i str y j us t formed is composed of some of the i n d epen d ent p ar ty,—,ol the party called in Belgium Unionists,—who lay great stress upon their nationality--who desire no re-union with France, but, without any antipathy to that country, prefer being Belgians to being Frenchmen. This party appears to be inclined to labour to put an end OAT AT ONI O'CLOCK. New 5 per Cent. India Stock Ditto Bonds par 4 pm. South Sea Stock ...... 85% Old Annuities New Ditto 3 per Cent.

The Great Powers have as close an interest as Belgium herself in the speedy appointment of a Sovereign, for the precarious and uncertain state of affairs can not fail to produce, on the French frontier, an effect very prejudicial to the maintenance of peace. The question of Luxembourg is in this respect peculiarly interesting, for it is easy to imagine the effects to Europe of an armed occupancy of Luxembourg by the troops of the confederation, or even of a renewal of hostilities between Belgium and Holland. No thing can be more desirable, we repeat, for England and France, than that the Belgian question should be speedily settled, and that it should be arranged on a footing that the country will accept, and tha will ensure it a tranquil and firm continuance as a nation for the future. The Austrian Observer coNtains some particulars respecting the late disturbances ut Parma, which, however, are of no particular moment : VIENNA, MARCH 19.—Reports have been received from General Baron Frimont, by which we learn that Parma was occupied on the 13th by the Imperial troops. The brigade of General Straboosky had moved from Pia cenza for this purpose, and the Commander-in-Chief had ordered Colonel Baron d'Aspre to support the movements of General Straboosky, by advancing from Modena by way of Reggio. Baron d'Aspre executed this movement with such promptness and decision, that he was already at the gates of Pat ma at five o'clock in the morning of the 13th, and the appearance of his brat patrol of Honiara having thrown the cowardly revolutionary Government into the greatest consternation, and caused the National Guard to disband itself, the Colonel took possession of the city with out any resistance whatever, and the brigade of General Straboosky arrived in the course of the day. With respect to what took place in Parma, during the few last days before the entrance of the Imperial troops, we learn that already on the 9th the Provisional Government in that city gave public notice that it had disolved itself. The greatest alarm and confusion prevailed in the city, the members of the dissolved rebel Government attempted to take flight, but the two carriages in which they rode were stopped by the populace and brought back to the Palace of the Government, amidst cries of " Death to the traitors l" " Death to the wretches who abandoned us in the moment of danger !" At the same time some hundred young men who thought themselves most implicated in consequence of the part they had taken in the revolution, had precipitately left the city, intending to take the road to Bologna. After some parleying, the members of the Provisional Govern ment who were trembling for their lives, were released, on promising to resume their functions, and messengers were despatched after the young men to persuade them to return to Parma ; they were already six Italian miles from the 'city, and were with much persuasion induced to come back. On the 10th and 11th confusion and anarchy were at the height ; the city gates were shut, but by no means for the purpose of defending it, but merely to make it more easy for the leaders of the revolution to collect all the horses for their flight.

It was knocked down at 11,400 guineas. Two persons of respectable appearance protested against the sale, on the ground that negroes ought not to he sold. They denounced it as irreligious and unjust. On Saturday the village of Bonhill was bril liantly illuminated. A large bonfire was kindled in the village, and a figure, intended to represent the son of the Duke of MoNraosE, the representative of the paper voters of Dumbartonshire, after an appropriate parade, was, amidst the loud cheers of the crowd, committed to the flames.— Glasgow Chron icle. On Monday evening a Polish Jew, who had previously been converted to Christianity, was baptised in St. Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh, by the Rev. Dr. DICKSON. The number of people present was not great, it not having been publicly known that such an occur rence was to take place.

About eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, a French schooner struck on the rock in front of the Clarence Hotel, Bognor. Several boats put off and saved the crew. The vessel was I.,den with wine and spirits, and was bound fur Scotlaud. She has received so much injury as to be past repair. HOUSE. OF LORDS.-(THIS:DAY.) The House did not sit this morning to hear Scot,•h Appeals till half-past eleven o'clock, in consequence of the Lord Chancellor attending at Lincoln's-inn-ball, to give judgment in several cases. The Peers in attendance were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of RostrN, and Lord AUCKLAND. FRASER V. VANS AGNEW. The appellant in this case is Mr. Alexander Fraser, a solicitor of eminence, residing in Lincoln's-inn-fields and the respondent is a Mr. Patrick Vans Agnew, a Lieut.- Colonel in the East India Company's service; and th e short facts of the case were these :—The late John Vans Agnew being engaged in various legal pto ceedings, instituted for the purpose of recovering extensive portions of the entailed estates of Sheuchan and Barnbar roch, alienated by means of irregular judicial sales, c on .. trary to the provisions of the entail under which he suc -ceeded, for the purpose of carry inc on these proceedings employed the appellant as his solicitor, who managed the appeals before the House of Lords on his behalf; and the present appeal was brought to recover from the respon dent the costs of the appellant for these proceedings, which the respondent refused to pay. Under the excellent superintendence of the appellant every thing was settled in favour of the respondent; but the Court of Sessions thought, under the 'particular circumstances of the case, the respondent was not bound to reimburse the appellant any part of the expenditure, expressing at the same time its opinion that it was an extremely hard case, and regrettiag that it was one in which Mr. Fraser could not get redress. From this decision Mr. Fraser brought the present appeal. Dr. LustriNGTosi appeared on behalf of the appellant, and _ was addressing the House when he was interrupted by the LORD CHANCELLOR, who observed that although he considered Mr. Fraser's case one of aingular hard ship, yet he did not see how. the House could adopt any other course than that which had been pursued by the Court of Session. He 'had' no doubt, however, upon consideration, Mr. Vans Agnew would pay this debt, as in his (the Lord Chancellor's) opinion, as well as iu those of the Noble Lords who were in attendance, it was an extremely strong case of a debt of honour. It would evi dently be to the benefit of all parties to pursue that course. The SOLICITOR-GkNERAL observed that his client was not in a condition to pay the debt, which amounted with interest to upwards of 2,3001. Mr. ROBERTSON—What! not with a property of 2,000/. a year ? The Loan CHANCELLOR suggested the payment by instalment.. In his opinion, never was any person so justly entitled to his demand as was Mr. Fraser, and he was extremely sorry the matter stood in such a form as rendered it impossible for the House to interfere in his behalf. The interlocutors were then ordered to be affirmed without costs. LOGAN V. WRIGHT. The House then proceeded with this appeal, which in volved a questiou whether a feu transfer of water-side grass on the Clyde, near Glasgow, gave a right to the soil. - - SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)
