There were only eleven -‘ of th e cholera—three recovered and three died. THE FUNDS. t IV e have an a mpl e supply of information this morning, fate Mor e particularly the confirmation of the unfortunate t 5 'Warsaw, and the remains of the Polish army must 11 toake the best bargain with the Russians they can for W il l : selves before they arc surrounded. The express from 4 , 1 1. :' is also of great itnportance ; it tends to show the IV:` n g of the French nation in n regard to the surrender of k: lk t' 7 , and the grand question is, whether the Peace det'oisters will be able to keep in office. A few days will t o rin , e this point . . The great agitation which prevails fle a p French capital no doubt will lie increased by the 0 debate expected to estak place this evening in the t a u t ,. 4 :' e of Deputies. It is lid that Casimir Perier's 11e Was attacked by the mob, and escaped only by the "'toes. of its horses. 16 Augsburgh Gazettc says, that the French Ambass odor, at Berlin, was received with great coolness at t4 4t, and was expected to leave. The Poles being now t i fi„ u td, it is expected that Prussia and Russia will throw ""e mask, and speak in a d.fferent tone to the French re gard to th e affairs of Belgium.

TiLFORM.-TAE HOUSE OF LORDS. (illOlll . A connEsioNnEnt.) : • 'this day a requisition, signed in a short time by fifty eight respectable freemen, was presented to the Mayor, requesting him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants, at the Town hall, for the purpoSe of petitioning the House of Lords in favour of the Reform Bill. The Mayor has consequently appointed a Common Hall, to be held for thiS purpose, on the 19th instant. We hope the petition will be confined to a respectful assurance that the inhabitants ha.re eAperienced no change in their senti mews respecting the merits and necessity of the Bill, and beseeching their Lordships to bestow on it a patient and serious consideration. That the townspeople, generally speaking, are real friends to good order and lawful autho tltj., tint cot•'eints;d ; but the rejection of their late petition' to the Harbour oard, respECting the intended buildings on the harbour property; which wool destroy the main Opening from the town; has had a poWerful in fluence on the feelings Of the pe pie, which was fully evi dent during the tat Clecticin, both for the town and county. This petit , on seems to have contained the wishes of at least nine-tenths of the inhabitants, who considered that their interests should not have heen totally disregarded by the stibititution of a plan indigoeitsible in itself, and in the op :fibril of the Most impartidi observers. if the resident kyle's of the Tory party h man iged their power with prudence and discretion, ad•d had been more solicitous fur the ptiblib gsod thin to pioMote private interests, tiny might hat , e still kept the lead in this pl ice but they seem to have complet.ly destroyed thettaseles. Dover, Sept. 17. 1831. TO 2'llE EDIT O2# OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have just seen in your Paper a letter signed M. Irvine, in which allusion is made to a speech of Ur. Sheil's in the House of Commons, wherein he is repnrted to haVe AAid that f, in giVing evidence before the Commit tee of the House of Lords, stated ih no Roman Catlin is was admitted into the yeomanry of Fermanagh." The best denial I could give' this assertion Would . be a r ference to the minutes of that evidence, but as many of those *ha have re of the statement may nit have an oppor tunity of referring to them, I am cute you will tint hes:tato to afford me, through the medium of }our Paper, the same facility of contradiction which gave it publi c ity. I should I e very sorry that Mr. Irvine, or my friends in Fermanagh, whose kindness I can never forget, and for whom I entertain the sineettat regard, could suppose me capable of making so unjustifiable an allegation respecting their county ; however, I feel confident, that whatever un fivourable impression the report might have produced will lie removed, when I assure them that, from the beginning to the end of my examination, the name of Fermanagh never was introduced. Indeed, at the time, I had never been in that county, and, consequently, unacquainted with any of its arrangements ; and those who know me can vouch for my not being in the habit of making statements from hearsay. I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, WM. VERNER, Lieut.-Col. Chwchill, Dungannon, Sept. 11, Mt. POLAND. (rrtom A CORRESPONDENT.) The news from Warsaw is very afflicting. After a pro tracted and sanguinary contest for eight months—after a deadly combat fur two days under the walls of Warsaw, the Polish army and the Diet have retired to the right bank of the Vistula, and the Russians have entered the town. It is a misfortune. Two squadrons sent to Cron stadt and Odessa, instead of to Lisbon and Antwerp, might have saved Poland ; now regret, condolence, re proach even is superfluous; let us consider what will be the consequence to Russia, to Europe, of the cruel ob stinacy of Nicholas and the culpable indifference of the Cabinets of Europe. The occupation of Warsaw does not terminate the con teat that rages between Russia and Poland ; its only effect will be. to prolong the effusion of blood, and to occasion ianumerable disasters. Let us even grant that the Polish army is destroyed by the numberless hordes, and that the Russians inflict again their vengeance, introducing again their barbarous and lawless government, what will Europe say to it ? Since the Holy Alliance formed the league of rulers against the people, the people on their side—jealous of their rights, and looking to their common interest—regard each other as brothers of the same family. Injustice or violence towards the people of any one couutry is felt as an injury by those of every other, and calls forth not only their sym pathy, but their claim to avenge and to defend their fellow men. Never was there a time when these sentiments would be displayed with more energy than at present. An an cLiat Isiagdom, the bulwark of Christendom, celebrated in the annals of Europe, which are r - eplete with mem ori a ls of its glory, compelled to fight by the violation of its most sacred rights, after exhibiting proofs of the greatest cou rage, and a perseverance that nothiog could subdue, after having sacrificed its blood and its heroes, being betrayed by a perfidious neighbour, and abandoned by all its allies, is at last compelled by exhaustion to submit to the iron sway of an autocracy ! The downfall of this gal lant nation will resound through all countries, where jus tice and generosity exist ; it will excite all people, fur the injuries of Poland are felt by all freeme n, and the insu lts offered to her are offered to the people of all countries. Frurn the north even to Italy the social world is in a state of ferment —the materials for a conflagration are ready,— the spark flies ; bew ire when it falls, for it will kindl e horrible, interminable wars, alike fatal to the tranquillity of the world and the rightful authority of Kings. I tremble at the idea of the effect this news will have in Paris. It will be without doubt the precurser of misfor tunes to Europe. Let us stop to refl-ct what Russia will gain by the arrogance, and the cruel and obstinate lan guage of her Sovereign. By the sword, disease, and de sertions, she will have lost two great armies, two distin guished Generals, cannon and munitions of war,—and all because of these three words, " Surrender at dis cretion;" which might have been addressed to a re• volted Pachalick, or to an horde of Cal mucks, but to ad Iress them to a free and powerful nation, and Over which Russia had no right, save that of usurpation, is in truth, too revolting. Ah ! what misbd . tones have these words, " surrender at discretion," occasioned What tears have they caused to flow ? If the Autocrat be comes in ester of Poland, what will be his conduct ? or what advantages does he Look for? He knows how by his manikstoes, by the barbarous conduct of his troops, he has null aged the opinion of all Europe ; that the very name of Russia inspires horror ; he has e ndeavoured to recover its esteem, I observe, by a hollow display of cle mency and generosity published on the Polish frontiers, and insetted in almost ail the Go:ettes of that quar ter, but no one will be duped by this. The policy of Russia has invariably been to am dgainate Poland with Russia ; the last proofs it has received of the error of this policy (I allude to the violation of the Con stitution of Poland, the im lisonwent of innoceut men, and the treatment of the Polish-Russian provinces) ?rove been lost en it : in despite of the treatit s by which Russia was obliged to maintain the religion, the laws, and the language of tine country, she has forced the Greeks and Rownelians to embrace the Russian religion ; she has suppressed in Lithuania the code of laws which hail been revered for ages, and has substituted for it her own absurd ukases; she has changed entirely the system of educa tion, by prohibiting the study of the Polish language and laws ; and has taken away from the University of Wilna the superintendance of the Gymnasiums. Such is the sys tem introduced by the execrable Norveilzolt, which will continue, we hope, for it will propagate from race to race hatred of Russia. The pleasure of having succeeded through obstinacy, and not by wisdom and reflection ; 5 —what advantages, let me ask, will it produce to Russia, it would be difficult to show them. The cruelty exercised so long in Poland will long leave tracts of hatred and animosity ; the sixtieth descendant of the present Autocrat would never be secure without nu merous troops both in Poland and the provinces to main tain tranquillity. A convincing proof of this may be found'in the circumstance, that in the last ukase, which ordered a third levee, the Polish provinces, Grudno, Wilna, Minsk, and Crajowa, are exempt, because no compliance could be reposed in youths, the born enemies of Russia. Good God! what pleasure can there be in reigning over those who do not love us, and whom we can never trust ? Is not Russia sufficiently extensive ?—has she not sufficient territory to allow of her ilrandoning the Polish provinces, which will always lie to her a source of ernbar ras•ment, and of her recognising the kingdom of Poland fr:,. and independent ? To induce her to do this it is the interest of Foreign Cabinets to use all their influence, as they may be assured that otherwise Europe will never be tranquil, and that if Po'and is abandoned to Russia, a general commotion will ensue. A country may be conquered, but the spirit of a p e ople cannot be subdued. As long as Poland exists anti is not independent, torrents of blood must flow. Why should not means be taken to prevent this succession of wars? Why should ❑ot that freedom now be yielded with a good grace, which must one day be wrested by . force Your obedient servant, TRUTH It is scarcely necessary to recall to mind that Generals Chlo pieki and Skrzynecki frequently made overtures to the Russian Alarshals ; but were harshly answered by the words " surrender at discretion."

Si.—Being in Hull on the day of the Coronation of our dearly-beloved Sovereign William IV. I could not but observe, with many thousands more, the conduct of the Corporated Bodies—first, the Corporation of the town, the next the Corporation of the Trinity-house, and also the proceedings at the Custom-house, of which Mr, Charles Lutwidge is the Collector, and of course under his direction. On that great and memorable day the inhabitants called for th e Mayor and Corporation of the town to shew marlss of pleasure on so glorious an occasion, by giving an order to illuminate. This had been the case for several days to gether, but no such order was given. The Corporations went i n th e church to pi ay, but fir what is hest known to themselves ; it cost them nothing ; they were hissed and pelted with rubbish both on their going and return ing from church, sand 113(1 sworn in a great number of special constables to protect themselves from the enraged populace, who matched before the Mayor and Aldermen with new brooms on their shoulders. At list the fol lowing order was issued ;—" That those who wished to illuminate might (or words to that effect), and that special constables were sworn in to keep the peace, but the Mansion-house would not be illumin ited." These pro ceedings were c,pied into the Hull Advertiser of the 13th instant. As soon as the order was made public the peopl e flew in all directions to their homes to illuminate them, and spewed every letnonstration of joy. Most of the Aldermen's houses were not illuminated, showing a general feeling with the Mayor. The Corporation of the Trinity-home (their Alansion) was also not illumi nated. The next public building that came under toy notice was his Majesty's Custom-house, which was al-o in dark ness . Almost all his Majesty's surjects were rejoicing on the occasion in the manner above stated, except the Cur mrated Bodies, and those attached to their cause. I am, Sir, A LOYAL SUBJECT.

The and his Lady had been to p a visit to a fri ia friend, and ay were returning to their own residence : they had scarcely passed the park paling, round Sir ROBERT N ' l'icn esouse, when the approach of a cart caused the hor , e on which the General was riding to start, while he was is the act of looking at his hat, and being off his guard Was thrown, and by a blow which he received from the horso was killed on the spot.

THE REFORM BILL AND HE HOUSE OF LORDS. tin Saturday a requisition, signe 1 by upwards of one hundred Liverymen and irthshritates rif the Ward of F'ar ringdon Within, tvatt forwarded to Mr Alderman Kelly. the Alderman of the Wad i of grighton ; such was the unanimity of feeling amongst the ichslritants on the sub ject, thst the whole of these signatures were obtained io five hours. _ _ (From the Observer GI yesterday.) It would be difficult to describe the feel ng of the citizens of London as the pe , iod approaches when the Reform Bill will be sent to the House of Lo-ds. The few enernits of el,. measure are industriously circulatin; rumours of the determination of the Upper HOLM to rejec-. the Bill at all li tails; and yesterday it was. stated by an Anti R4iroi. jog Deputy :lint the Mai quis of Londonderry intended to .once an amendment, ant:racing a new system of Reform, and calculated to satisfy the natiettr, by giving the franchise to a few of the populous towns. In the course of the day, a number of merchants and brokers of eminence waited upon the Lord Mayor, and Pr , ''ented to him the following requisition : " We, the undersigned, teoitcrt that your Lordship will sum mon, on the earliest convenient day, a meeting of merchants, banters, and traders of the city of London, to petition the House of Lords in favoitr of the Reform Bill • to impress opon their Lordships the ariKidtle Frond undiminished solicitude with which the mercantile classes of London have watched the progress of the Bill through the Commons • and to declare anew their heart felt conviction, that the tranquillity and happiness of the country in general, and the security of commercial as well as other pro perty, are deeply and fearfully interested in the speedy passing of this great national measure." The Loan MAYOR eitressed the utmost gratification at r..ceiving the requisition, and appointed Friday next, at twelve for one o'clock, for taking the Chair upon the sub- I ject in the Egyptian Hall. At the Comtiton this day, Dr. Bowring and Mr. Fearon will open tht blisittess of the day by proposing a, very strong petition to the Howe of !Ands. Mr. Williams, ,f Watting-street, who had jus• dralvn op a requisition to the Lord Mayor &I the alme subject, at the moment the former gentlemen were flrts,nting theirs, will, it is ex pected, decribe the effect which the apprehended rejection ,f the Lords has had throughout the trading community ; :Ind several Liter) men of great influence will follow. The Member for Preston *11! certainly attend, for ilse purpose of correcting some errors into which bis brothers of the Livery have fallen with respect to the Bill and it is said, that althotl4h he means to oppose everything, be will agree to all. It is feported that a blockhead of a Com mon Councilman, who has been running his nose against the pub'ic feeling for some time, means to beseech the at tention of the Hall to the last grasp of their privileges, tnd to propose an amendment calculated to save not only the Livery but the country from perishing. In answer to the requisition transmitted by Mr. Fearon to Alderman Waithtnan, to summon a meeting of the Ward of Farringdon Without, Alderman Wai►bman wrote as follows " Ms. DEAR sta,-1 think the requisition a very proper one, and I shall feel it to be my ditty to hold a Ward Meeting upon any day they think best.

The following requisition s'an to Saturday transmitted to the Churchwardens of the Parish of Oh, Andrew, Hol born We, the undersigned inhabitants of the parish of St. drew, Holborn, in the city of London, and county of Middle sex, tearfully impressed with the disastrous consequences that must arise from the failure of the gfcat measure of Reform in the House of Lords, do earnestly request that you will convene an early meeting of the parish, to present an Addre!ss to the House of Lords, imploring it, by the regard it ought tti !niter tain for the preservation of all the institutions of the county), and not least, among the rest, that of its own order, at once to pass a measure which has received the deliberative sanction and interests of the people; and, at the same time, freely, but fear lessly, to point out to it the tremendous results Which a rejection of the Bill must necessarily produce." The following requisition was forwarded by the Ward of Cheap to Wm Thompson, Esq., Alderman, M.P.:— " We, the undersigned inhabitants of the Ward of Cheap, re quest you will, on an early day, convene a Wardmote, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Bill for a Reform in Patti:drain, whereby alone a true and lasting union will be preserved of King, Lords, and Commons." LoNooN.—So anxious were the Livery of London to meet for the purpose of petitioning the Lords to pass the Bill, that two or three parties were on the point of pre p ring requisitions to the Lw d Mayor on the subject. Had the one which has teceived the Lord Mayor's assent not been presented to him, another requisition would have been handed to him, in less probably than twenty-four hours from the time at which that came before him. Mium.esEx.—The following requisition has received the signatures of a nometous portion of the freeholders of Middlesex, and will be forthwith pr• rented to the Sheriff:— " We, the undersigned freeholders of the county of Middl es ex, request you will calf a public meeting of the free holders of the said county, to consider the propriety of petition ing the Lords in Parliament assembled, that they will be pleased to pass the Bill now before the Legislature, for a Reform of the !louse of Commons, and that with as little delay as their Lord ships may find possible." WESTAII !, STE R. —ln compliance with a requisition ft mil the electors of Westminver to the High Bailiff to call a public meeting for the purpose of petitioning the House of Peers to pass the Reform Bill, he has al painted Wed nesday for that purpose.

K ENT. —A requisition to the High Sheriff of Kent for a county meeting, to petition the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill, is in the course of signature. BosTox.—A requisition to the Mayor of this town is nom in course of sign iture, calling upon him to convene a public meeting to petition the House of Lords to pass the Bill. We understand also, on the authority of a respect able correspondent, that petitions to the same effect are in progress from all the neighbouring towns. EDINBURG u.—A requisition for a public meeting is now signing here to petition the Peers in favour of the Beim in 13,11.—Scotsman. ----- SHEFFUCLIL—A requisition for a public meeting to the Master Cutler, is in progress of signature. DUMFRIES.—A public meeting is to be held in the Court Huse, on Saturday, for the purpo , e of peti tioning the Hous(! of Lords speedily to pass the Reform Bill, as sent up by the Commons, into a law. The inhabitants of Maxwelltown, on the other side of the Nith, are also to have an early meeting for a similar purpse. 111ANctresTp:s., San. 16.—The re ports which prcvlil in this town, to the effect that the Reform Bill is in jeo pardy, and is likely to be rejected by the House of Lords, have produced a powerful sensation among all ranks and conditions of the people. The Political Union, consisting of about 1,000 members, from the wealthy merchant and manufacturer to the poor weaver, convened a meeting of its Council on Wednesday night, at which an address to Earl Gri was unanimously agreed to, and transmitted to his Lordship the same night. Toe inhabitants of Man chester will not be content with a mere expression of opi nion from the Political Union, respectable as many of its members are. A requisition is now in course of signature for calling a public meeting on an early day in the ensuing week, at which a petition is intended to be adopted, praying the House of Lords to pass the Reform Bill in its present shape, or at least without affecting its principle. It ie satisfactory to the friends of Reform to know that " the game's a-foot" here, and that the requisition is already signed by upwards of one hundred individuals, comprising in the list a number of the leading merchants and manu facturers of the town and neighbourhood. It is thought that the meeting ‘t ill be held on Wednesday next. LEEDS.-We have been favoured with a copy of the requisition to the boroughreeve and constabulary of Manchester, now in a course of signature, and which is ex pressed in the following terms :—" Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned, request that you will call a public meeting of the inhabitants of Manchester, to consider the propriety of presenting a petition to the House of Lords, praying that the Reform Bill may pass the House without any unneces sary delay." This document is already numerously and respectably signed, and there is no doubt but the example will immediately be followed by other towns in the imme diate district.

Seconded by J. S. CLAY, Esq. Mr. W. GRIBELE felt great pleasure in proposing the resolution he was about to submit, That our best thanks are also due to J. P. B. Chichester, Esq. for his excellent conduct in Parliament, and that we beg to assure him that he is also entitled to and has our esteem and thanks for the manly and honourable manner in which he sought to maintain the franchises of the freemen of this borough, according to his promise." Seconded by Mr. JOHN BowaN. The fifth resolution—" That though we believe Re form to be inevitable and unavoidable, yet the evils of long protracted struggles may be prevented by that demonstra tion of the national feeling which exists, and which can not eventually be repressed. We therefore exhort the inhabitants of cities, towns, and boroughs, in this most critical period of the nation's hi-tory, to make a prompt and authentic expression of their wants on the subject of Reform to the House of Lords, to whom it may be •of inestimable value,"—was moved by Mr. R. Lin- NINGTon. In seconding which, Mr. MELiss called upon them as men, as Britons, but above all as Christians, to unite in forwarding their senti ments in a firm but respectful manner to the House of Lords, who, he trusted, would not turn a deaf ear to the wishes of a " King of Hearts," who reigned in the affections of his people and a whole imploring country. The whole of the above resolutions passed the meeting, without a single dissentient voice. Mr. W. Getattut proposed the presentation of the petition to Earl Radnor; but the preference being given by a large majority to our neighbour, " Lord Poltimork:," it was resolved to commit the presentation of it to his Lordship. On the motion of Mr. Meuss, seconded by Mr. Bats- CRAFT, the thanks of the meeting were voted to John Grihblo, E.g. for bin disinterested, firm, and manly con duct in the Chair. The thanks of the meeting wrre also voted to the Mayor for the use of the Hall. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.)

His Majesty , * ship Victory, with which associations or mingkd regret and pride are blended, from her being the ship in which the immortal Nelson was killed, is, we are happy to say, destined even to a more honourable post than that of a depot fur the Captains of the Ordinary. She is to he fitted up as the flag•ship at this port. In COnst.. quence of this arrangement, Captain Ldlicrap will still occupy the Prince.
