SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have received the Paris Papers o't Thursday and Friday, and the Messagcr des Chambres dated Saturday. The intelligence they convey is of the most alarming character. On the 21st, the silk weavers of the commune of Croix Rousse, which adjoins Lyons, where distress has long prevailed, broke out, and barricaded their qu arters. They commenced by assaulting several manufactories and disarming several National Guards, and then marched against Lyons. Their numbers are va r iousl y stated at from six to twelve thousand. With the daring spirit possessed by the French in so eminent a de gree, they seem to have fought desperately during the greater part of the 21st. The workmen having shown a wish to parley, the Prefect and General Ordonneau, anxious to stop the effusion of blood, advanced towards the workmen, when they were made prisoners. The rioters were driven back to Croix Rousse—the armed force remained masters at all points, and occupied all the avenues. Such seen,s to have been the state of things on the 21st. In a e evening of that day troops were sent for from Bourgoirie and Trevoux. No intelligence having reached Paris of the state of things on the 22,1, the alarm was very great, and the most gloomy inferences 'tN ere drawn from the cessation of tele graphic communications. The accounts pub lished by the Government attributed the cir cumstance to haze ; but it was believed that the insurgents had obtained possession of some of the telegraphs. However, the 3foniteur, in a post script, dated four o'clock in the morning of the 25th, state: that the President of the Council had received, at midnight, an estafette, which a person high in office at Lyons had succeeded in despatching to the Government. His letter was written on the 23(1, at one o'clock in the morning, and it announces that the workmen had again risen, made themselves mas ters of the bridges, and intercepted the communi cations ; that the troops were defending the Town brill, the Arsenal, and the powder-magazines, and that General Ordonneau had been given up. The writer opened his letter again at five o'clock in the morning of the 23d, to say that the Town-hall had been evacuated, after an obstinate resistance, and that it seemed that the authorities and the bands, as well to avoid a farther effusion of blood as to combine their union with forces which Ihey expected from several points, had retired by the Fauxbourg of St. Clair. Thus, then, we find Lyons, the second city in France, in the pos agesion of insurgent workmen. The Moniteur adds that "the National Guards and troops of the line had done 'their duty with equal courage and devoted mess ;" that " this revolt, accompanied by threats of burning and pillage, is directed only against prc petty slid industry ;" arid that, " in such a case the issue cannot be doulatful, for it is a matter which concerns all citizens as well as the Government." So ,serious has this affair been deemed, that the Prefects who were on leave of absence at Paris have been ordered to return to their posts. The Duke of Orleans was to set out immediately for , i.ynns,accompanisd by Marshal Soult, the Minister of War. The Me:sager des Chambrer, of the dive of the 25 , 1), states that the post from Lyons had not arrived at eleven o'clock, and that they had not received either the Journals or private correspond ence from Lyons, Grenoble, Nismes, Montpellier, Marseilles, and thy whole line. The Gazette de France of Saturday, of the date of the 25th, states that all the letters from the banking-houses at Lyons agree in the following details :—That for three days they had been in a state of siege, that the whole quarter of the Terreau, the Capucins, end the environs, are closed. At five Pete (23d) the cannon had been firing for three hours on the people, and the people teturned the fire with advantage, because they were mas ters of the heights. At seven P.M, of the same day (23d) the intelligence states that forty of the National Guards were killed, and above one hundred arid fifty wounded; that despondency had filled every heart—that the insurgents cry " Long live Napoleon, Chief of the Republic"—that the General and Prefect in the hands of the insurgents were not released till three cannon belonging to the National Guards were employed, and that two of these can non had fallen into the hands of the insurgents, who were masters of all the heights which suarounded Lyor;a. The Quolidienne of Friday contains several letters, which give various details of the commence ment of the revolt, and the fighting during the 21st. The insurgents had, it would appear, a considerable advarnave in the outset. The central point of their Cnion, Croix Rousse, formerly a suburb, but now a town, is situated on one of the heights which corn- • mend Lyons. A detachment of National G,,ards, =Loin:mauled by General Ordonneau, and supported by a company of the 66th, was directed to advance against the rebels by a street, extremely steep, with houses on bath sides, nearly all occupied by the work men. Scarcely had they reached a certain height, when a thundering discharge took place from al. most all the windows, and thus caught between two fires, the troops and National Guards were obliged to retreat with several killed and wounded. Some of the statements make the troops amount to 6,000. One letter in the Quolidienne says, " We have great need of reinforcements. Our garrison has scarcely 3,000 men ; the third of our National Guards are widi the insurgents." Another letter ;::n the Quolidienne, da'ed the 21st at mid-day, says that the workmen descended from Croix Rousse to the number of 6,000, armed with fusils, sabres, clubs, and stones; that their despair found a vent in loud howling. They displayed order, and their plan appe a red well concerted. The National Guard waited for them above the great seminary, and while on this point the workmen engaged the troops at the line and the National Guards the remainder of their body, composed of nearly two thousand men, were in a camp which they had prepared at Croix Reusse. This camp had been attacked by the Na tional Guards, but the latter were vigorously re pulsed, A great black flag waved in the middle of their camp. It is impossible for us to form any judgment of the issue of this civil war, for nothing less it seems, from our not possessing information respecting the state of opinion in the surrounding districts. The accounts from Lyons even are con tradictory. The insurgents are stated to be merely 4istressed workmen, intent on pillage; but they are in some of the accounts stated to shout for a republic, with Napoleon at its head. In the South I of France we have always understood that a • ' great pelt of the population were Carlists. Whether advantage will be taken of the troubles at Lyons, by the Carlists and the Priests, re mains to be seen. M. de Chateaubriand, in 11, , es pamphlet, say—" If legitimacy were nothing —ifit were nothing to banish a child ; if all France me longe r wished to have anything to do with the elder branch of the Bourbons, how happens it that more than one-fourth of the departments are by yo erselv es reputed C ar li sts , w i t h out ment i on i n g all the Carlist individuals who exist in the other de prrtments ? How happens it that they are obliged to watch the south with 30,000 m, n, Britanny and La Vendee with 50,000 men, like B e l g i um ; on t h e one part to make anhlanglish King, i on t h e ot h er to unmake a French king ? How s it that of 130,000 electors inscribed, only 80,000 presented themselves to vote ? Cities of 120,000 souls, like Marseilles, , Lave seen their Deputies named by 38 Votes; at Bordeaux,at the last election, out of 550 electors,• 150 only have appeared at the College ; 74 suffrag e : have been sufficient to give a Deputy to a city which has such extensive interests to defend," But this affair at Lyons has an additional claim on our notice from the lessen which it furnishes to us. We here see the werkmen of a suburb of a city, which had 3 garrison of 6,000 troops (some accounts say 3,000) and anumerous National Guard (two-thirds of which, even by the most unfavourable accounts, were well affected), carry everything before them, and retain for three days military possession of all important points. We would just call the attention of those twaddlers among ourselves who task of special constsbles ge e t e such support as eau be obtained from small detach.. elsta of soldiers and a few yeomanry cavalry, being sufficient for the preieivation of the Oace, to what has taken place at Lyons. In what town of this kingdom, London excepted, have we 6000 troop, r even 3000 ? But how many manufacturing neigh bourhoods have we, with populations fearfully- nu merous in case of a general want of employment. Let those who calculate too confidently on the cow ardice of the mobs of this country, only recollect what took place in the towns of Scotland at the last general elections. There are among the working classes, in the towns of the north, men with schem ing heads and daring courage, on whom the lessons of Paris and Lyons will not be thrown away, if die tress should drive them to desperation. We have received a sensible letter from ;Manchester, of the date of the 25th (for which we haVe not room this day), from an individual who happened to be in Sa lisbury on the 2d of November, which happened to be- the drill-day of the Salisbury volunteers, and he expresses himself astonished at the skilful manner in which they performed the difficult manoeuvre of street-firing, and their order at the charge with bay onet. His observations on the absolute necessity of forming similar corps without loss of time in all the towns, appear to us to deserve the utmost attention. We fear the ominous prospects to which lie alludes will render such a resource indispeesible. For what is the state of things in this country '? The Leeds .illercury of Saturday, received yesterday, states, that the unemployed workmen in Leeds are becoming more and more numerous. On Monday last there was a public meeting at Paisley, for the purpose of raising a subscription for the unemployed weavers, the report of which oc cupies two columns of the Glasgow Chronicle. At this meeting great fault wee found by some of the speakers at the conduct of some of the constituted authorities. Mr. Spies, of Elderslie, said, "he held it to be a shame to the county that the Lord Lieutenant was not present. He had long felt dis satisfied with the conduct of Government in keep ing such persons in the important situation of Lerd Lieutenant. What would a poor thirty pounds a day do to keep the starving opeiatives of Paisley in existence ?" He added, " that he himself (Mr. Spiers is considered at the head of all public affairs from his age end character) was no longer a Lieu tenant of the county, for es he had told them, he had sent in his resignation, but from the letter he had received from the Provost, he considered it a dis grace that the Lord Lieutenant was not present as will as the amount of his subscription (fifty pounds)." He added further, that "he considered that it wee wholly to the Political Uniun they were indebted for the peace of the country being pre served, and if the authorities we; oat stirring tip mischief, they were not taking proper means to pre serve the peace•—(Cries of Order !' amidst min ! glad applause and hisses.)" Such is the aspect of affairs among ourselves. If Ministers do not make provision tieuirot it in time, dreadful will be their • responsibility.—Morning Chronich-, While the German Papers amuse the werid with accounts of the merciful intentions of the Autocrat to the Poles, which, as these veracious oracles of despotism inform us, he is prevented from putting in praceiee by a powerful faction of Nobles in his • own dominions, the reign of terror is established at Warsaw, and proscription, banishment, end confis cation, are the order of the day, The patriots, who relied upon the capitulation of Warsaw, and who either remained or returned there since its surrender, • have found what other subjugated countries have • learnt by fatal experience —that Russia is not more distinguished for the barbaous ferocity of her con quests than for her Punic fain;. They have found that, in spite of capitulation or treaty, Russia as surne.s the power of disposing of the life and liberty and fortune of every man in Poland; they have round that the promised clemency of the barbarians means nothing else but the miseries and tor ments of a persecution less expeditious, but scarcely less effective in its destructive consequences, than im mediate extermination by the sword. We never hear of the Autocrat being prevented by any cabal or faction among his subjects from pursuing any bad or oppressive measure, however criminal and atrocious ip may be. It is only when the despot intends to carry ;rite effect some wise or good in tention that we hear of hia becoming powerless ; unrestrained in every evil purpose, it is enly when the Imperial ambition relents into virtue that the Cesar of the North is deprived of his absolute sceptre, and reduced to the condition of the servant ofhis slaves. What a country that must be where des potism only ceases to have authority when it at tempts to exercise power for beneficent : - purposei Yet such is the country which the great Powers of Europe, by a most disgraceful compliance with its ambitious pretensions, have allowed to proceed from orie sehetne of aggrandizement to another, until it has attaineei:a dangerous pre-eminence among the nations of the civilized world. With regard to the fate of the Poles, some of the foreign journals speak of earnest interceteliona having been Made in . favour of that brave people by the agents of the French Government at the Court of St. Peters burgh, and that those intercessions had been pushed io such lengths as to offend the Russian Aristocracy. We believe nothing can be farther from the truth. The French Government and its agents,--and we know it from authority upon which we can rely— have not only not been earnest in intercession with -he Autocrat on behalf of the Poles, but they have shown a most heartless indifference to their sufferings 1 and misfortunes. As to eending the Russian Em peror, or any party that has influence et his Court, ey an ardent zeal on behalf of humanity and Poland, he present weak and pusillanimous Government of France would as soon think of marching an army upon Moscow. They talk of a repeblic as a chimera; out a manly and generous system of policy is in their eyes still more chimerical and ridiculous. We under stand that our own Government have, since the fall of Warsaw, interested themselves more on behalf of the Poles at the Russian Court than the French. Indeed the most ineelligeet Poles complain of the French Go vernment having completely deserted their cause, or of having only brought to }sear upon it the smooth hypocrisy of cold deceit. To England they feel more indebted, though they also feel that neither . England, nor any d:4'tiropeete nation, has acted that firm, honest, and dignified part in tills question which became the Govertaneee of a great peopi,, ; net merely in de fence of a getters= and 'oppressed nation, Put in vindication of a great principles, involving the obli gations of treaties, the balance of European power, and tbe rights of humanity. Is it proper or becoming that England, cr any other Power that was a party to the Treaty of Vienna, aehich guaranteed the in dependence of Poland, not so !verde for the sake of that country as that she might be a cite* ori the growing ambition of Russia, should stoop so low as to become a suppiiartt for mercy to the Poles at the foot of the ,RueSian deapot'e throne, when, with the Treaty of Vienna in her hand, she oughe to demand justice for that heroic and ceuelly e treated people ? if diplomatists cannot answer this question, public opinion will.—Morning Herald. The long rtiononoly of power in this country by' the Tory faction, lai deep been pointed out as the source from which many of the ;;,buses in our poli tical system have arisen, and by which all, without exception, have been aggravated. Nor is it owing, to arty vice peculiar to the Tories, as individuals or as politicians, that such evil effeets have flowed from their contireeens administration of the Government for more than GO years: they were chosen by the Crown for its especial counsellors, when the So vereign was so far independent of popular influence and feeling, as to experience too little necessity for consulting the wishes of his subjects, either as to the persons who ohould exercise his prerogative, or as to the principles which should guide :hem. Hence all those acts of the executive Government which operated immediately upon the distribution of political power in this country, and cerise fluently upon the relative position of King, parties, and people, were calculated at once to extend the patronage of the Crown, and to confine the fruits of it, to the friends and connexions of the Ministers whose business MS to increase it. Had the Whigs happ ene d to Ile the 591e0C/ favourites of George 111. from the commencement of his long reign down wards, there is no room to question that their mo nopoly of office would have been attended wit!: no less mischief to the Constitution than that of their antagonists. The same bad construction of our representative system, and independence of Par liament upon the people, and consequent irre sponsibility and impunity of public officers, would have encouraged the Foxes and Caven dishes, just as much as it has done the Pitts and Rutlands, to quarter their tools upon the public revenue,—to seize for their benefit the ma gistracy, the judgment-seat, the Peerage, the county government, and the Church,—and thus to strike so deep a root in the country, that no storm of national resentment or displeasure—no demand of justice, or right, or reformation—should disturb them. This, we say, would have been the result of Whig domi nion, not less assuredly than of that of their rivals, had the same opportunity for an equal period been afforded to the former body. The crime is in the thing, not in the men; and the sense of it ought both to make the people of England attach more real importance to principles, and less to persons, and to abate some portion of that relent less animosity wherewith individuals, availing them selves of the corrupt indulgence held out to them by defective institutions, are too often in r g e l g e ar f d d e c d tio b n y , their countrymen in angry times. To such a pitch, however, has the evil of a prolongued gripe of the powers of government, by a been carried throughout the 'empire, that with the exception of a very small number o f en , bordinate functionaries, the Whig Cabinet has not yet, since its accession to office, been sure of co-operation from the constituted authorities of any one county, or city, or other subdivisi on of Great 4ritain, though for purposes of the highest national importance. On all occasions have the retainers of the boroughmongers, whether salaried from the revenue or invested with unpaid power, been zealous in directing their most hide ` fatigable efforts for the disappointment of whatever measure was undertaken by the present Ministry, in connection with, and furtherance of, the Reform • Bill. Lords-Lieutenants, Magistrates, Clergy, Sheriffs,—all have made their several powers and prerogatives subservient to their ancient inte rests or prejudices, and have wholly lost sight of the pbiigations imposed upon them by their actual duties. It is no wonder that Reform bag hed so perilous a struggle, when almost the entire personel of the public authorities, from north to south of Eng land, is arrayed together for its overthrow. How ever, if the Tory party has become artificially and lamentably strong, so has the party of the people swelled into rapid power by the develop ment of its naturel resources, If the old occupants of office have multiplied their tools, so have the people outgrown them. Of the two engines by which the English nation bad hitherto been sub jected to an unconstitutional controul, one exists no longer. They may be ruled for a time by some hun dred thousands of bayonets, but they will never again, as formerly, be cheaSed,--that game, at least, is gone by. But if among the displays of a spirit adverse to that of the people there be one more offensive, as well as absurd and impotent, than ano ther, it is that of the sheriffs of counties, who pre sume to disregard the requisitions transmitted to them by the property and intelligence of their 'ce spective bailiwicks, for the calling together of county meetings. The folly of such a proceeding is mani fest, because the law has provided means through which a county may assemble and declare its senti ments, in spite of the contumacy of that executive ; officer,—who, therefore, very seldom gets any thing better thaa contempt or odium ice his pesvereerieste Although, with hardly any exceptions, the counties throughout England have already met, or are meet ing, to promote bytheir declarations the sacred cause of Reform, it appears that the High Sheriff for Es sex has thought fit to reject a requisition most authoritatively signed, and has thus yielded to some of the county magistiates the honour which he himself might have acquired. If the gentleman Matters himself that he can stifle the voice of a great county by such an official humbug, he is in an egregious error. The C'helms fOrd Chronicle gives an interesting account of an anniversary dinner, where eighty gentlemen of the Meldon Independent Club," and amongst them 'efessre. Western and Lennard, with several others of great distinction iii the county, met, and in a suc cession of able and eloquent speeches recorded their sentiments in favour of Reform and in support of his Majesty's Government. We insert one passage Isere the speech of Mr. Western, which is worthy of general attention, if it were only for the soiind manner in which he treats the objection to a large ereetion of Peers on the score of precedent ; as if a good act for a patriotie objet could serve as "prece dent" for an act and object of a nature diametrically opposite :—" I cannot help saying that the hostility displayed in the Lords was most distinctly a spirit of party—a deterrnipaticia to oppose and thwart the Ministers in their endeavours to serve the public, I repeat that I cannot help thinking that such was their motive.—(Cheers.) In this state of things I hope that the majority of the Lords— reckless as they have shown themselves of cense, queeces, will not again have recourse to the same line of conduct, and egain reject the Bill which his Majesty has told us he wiil direct hie Gera/ante to present on the opening of the Session.—(Hear,) If such should be the case, the consequences may be most fearful.—(Hear.) I for one am ready to support the exercise of the Royal prerogative on an occasion like that, which I consider would war rant the creation of a sufficient number of Peers to give a majority to support the Ministers.—(This observation was received with loud t}nd universal cheering which lasted some time.) X know it will he said that this would be the establishment of a bad precedent, and that another Monarch might avail himself of it to abuse it ; but I contend that it would be no precedent,—(l- ear.) Tile precedent of a virtuous act, which is necessary to establish the rights of the people, is no precedent for destroying them.—(Cheers.) It would be an act to which the House of Lords have driven the Government, -et:Cheers.) I admit that the Levis have a right to enjoy their o..yn opinions—they negatived the Reform Bill, and they had a ', , ight to do so, but men must be responsible for the exercise even of a right, —(Hear.) It does not follow that they are war ranteal in doing it because they have the right. It must be a proper acr—a wise and discreet exercise of that eight—which will justify it.—(Hear, hear.) I say they have fatally and injudiciously ea:ercised it. The House of Commons has a right to etfuee the Supplies, and if circumstances justify the act, they ought to do it; but on the other hand, the exercise of the right may be treason to the Sove reign and to the - taSe."- 7 -- Times. The accounts from Lyons, which wili be fend in another column, present an edifying picture of the natured progress and results of political innovation. We thence may obtain a faint and imperfect notion of the seetiea which must inevitably arise in Great Britain if the present system of Government be per sisted in much loner,asystem similar to that orthe Liberal party in France, of promising the labouring Masses of the community an exemption from evils, and kin eeetesition of advantages, as the consequences of change's in the tis'enatitution, which such changes have a direct tendency not to produce but to prevent. NVe need not show that the Reform fedi, had it been carried, would have failed to produce any ame lioration of the condition of the great mass of the , people, otherwise than by calling the attention of the community to certain facts which are undeniable, viz., that tlee authors of that Bill, who must in the very nature of things have designed it to increase I the number of men like themselves in the Legisla ture, have p ro p ose d f ew measures o f pracsicel ame- ' lioration; and in the few which they have proposed have shown themselves to be ineompetent judges of what might conduce to the real advantages of the people. The 401 then would have given us irt the House of Commons a greater number of Al- thorps, Grahams, Russells, Poulett Thomsons, O'Conitalls, or it would not. In the latter case it is plain that the framers and supporters of the Bill • have been working in ignorance or at random, since it is quite certain that in their estimation no Reform could be practically beneficial to the country any farther than as it tended to increase the number and strengthen the influence of such Statesmen as we have mentioned. In the former we are called upon to inquire what great advantages of a practical na ture the mass of the community could have derived from an infusion of Members of a character similar to those who, with the most obsequious House of Commons that ever in this country obeyed the nod of any Ministers, have attempted nothing of a prac tical nature for the public advantage and relief, and who have been driven to resort to theoretic innova tion, simply because, after large promises to the nation, and the most violent and factious denuncia tiorss of their predecessors in office, they found they had been anticipated in every measure of prudent and practicable improvement. This view of the subject shews perhaps more clearly than any other that the Reform Bill of the present Ministers was a fallacy and a fraud. An honest and consistent innovator upon the institutions of a State is bound to shew that the changes lie wishes to effect are the necessary pre paratives and precursors of some solid practical ad vantages which he desires to bestow upon his coun try. The whole conduct of our Reforming Ministers has shewn the reverse of this, and we are therefore ettitled to conclude that the more ignorant and un reflectieg classes of the community, who, in the hope of practical advantages, in the hope of a posi tive improvement of their condition, have been taught to clamour for the Bill, would have expe rienced in the event of the Bill having come into operation the most severe, gelling, and exasperating disappointment. For the effect of such a disap pointment we refer to the scenes which have been acted at Lyons. The French people have had a Parliamentary Reform, and a Monarchical Reform into the bargain. They have got a Citiaen King, a Reformed House of Commons, and a degraded House of Peers. What more could they desire ? The answer is short, but it is, or ought to be, ap *ling to the hearts of agitators and innovators in every country. Employment arid bread ! And is it possible, then, that a people can want employment and bread who enjoy the unspeak able advantages of a Citizen King, a Reformed House of Commons, and a ilev ; .e.derl Peerage ? The people of Lyons feel to their cost that it is so, and they naturally, we had almost said justly and pro perly, wreak their vengeance upon the rash or wicked experimentalists or impostors who excited expectations which they now find to have been ut terly delusive. The well-dressed people, the payers of direct eontributione, the National Guards, those portions of society which most contributed to the excitement that preceded and produced the revolu tion of July ; the voters who returned that Cham ber of Deputies which attempted to subvert the legitimate authority of the French Crown—these are the classes who are now the objects of indigna tion to the sufferers of the lower orders, whom that revolution has not benefitted, as they were fraudulently led to expect, but has, on the con trary, reduced to wretchedness and famine. And who shall deny that this is just ? or, if a simi lar fate should heftl the more desperate or more foolish men who in this country have agitated the popular rntnd with hopes equal) , delusive— men more desperate and more foolish, inasmuch as this country is more happy and prosperous under its existing Constitution than France ever was in the best of her days, that they also will meet with rio more than their due reward ? Those who disturb the tranquillity of a nation, unsettle its habits, paralyse its commercial enterprise, render its capital stagnant, suspend its peaceful industry, reduce the multitudes of its inhabitants to wretchedness and want, for sake of speculative improvements in the frame-work of its Government, incur a terrible, and in most cases a needless responsibility; nor can it excite regret in any reasonable mind that when the season of popular disappointment and popular frenzy shall arrive, as arrive it must, they the origi nal authors of the calamity should be among the first of its victims.—Morning Po.a. The Tories having been foiled in every intrigue which they have concocted to the prejudice of his Majesty's Ministers and the cause of Reform— having been defeated in every encounter—and proved to be false prophets in every einistee prediction at which they have tried their hands—are now, we perceive, having recourse to the first system of tac tics which they tried awl abandoned—a system based on the invention of false reports, respecting the views and conduct of his Majesty's Ministers— changes in the Reform Bill—the existence of an Anti-Reform disposition on the part of the most Illustrious Reformer in the. kingdom—an unwillingness to create new Peers, Fao, Of such inventions it would be unworthy of any respectable Journal to take the slightest notice, were it not that they have received circulation, arid a sort of current credit, in consequence of having being copied by some of our reforming con temporaries, without appending to them the neces sary contradiction, We now take notice of them for the purpose of stating--which we can do, on the best authority,—that they are totally destitute of truth— that the King is firm, and has never wavered, or even appeared to waver, except to avoid the per plexing importunities of an Arei•Reform junto by which he is surrounded—that new Peers will be created in abundance when the proper season arrives —and that no change will be made in the Re form Bill, on its next presentation to Parlia ment, except such as will necessarily render it more popular and more efficient. A few days will prove the accuracy of this information; and in the mearime we would beg the quidnunc; of both sides to reflect that it is not in the power of Ministers, if they were so inclined, to change in any essential degree the principles of the Reform Bill— that the Bill has already been passed by the people —that a majority of the House of Commons is bound to support it, and it only—and, finally, that if Ministers were to attempt to break faith with the country, that House would be bound to oppose them with as much seal and spirit as it has hitherto exhi, bited to support them. The Bill is the people's Bill, and nothing less efficient will either be pro posed on the one hand, or accepted on the other.— Morning Adve!,lisr. LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD `This well known picture, painted by the late Sir THOMAS LAW• RENCE, President of the Royal Academy, was an original poFtralt of a dau . c,diter of Mr. ANPERSON, the West India broker, who resided in Russell-square, a near neighbour, and very particular friend of the deceased artist. Atter the first sitting the painter received his usual fee, and placed the portrait in his large room, where it remained, with other unfinished pictures, for several years, notwith stxpding constant entreaties, on the part of Mr. Aiinza- Oli, tlfat it migl4 be completed. When the President did finish the picture, the chill had become a woman; he therefore designated it Little Red Riding Hood, and sent it to the exhibition at Somerset House.— Court Journal. The father of BISHOP, who has been com rait;:e4 for trial on a charge of having murdered the Italian boy, was a worth' anti industrious man, who for many years kept an el rand cart betwern liighgate and London. On the Bth of November, 1816, he was unfortunately run over by one of PICKFORD'S vans, the wheels of which passed over both his legs, and crushed them so dreadfully that amputation was rendered necessay. He Aid not lung survive the operation. The estimation in which he waa held was evidenced by the fact, that imme diately upon his decease, the inhabitants of Nigh; ate sub scribed upwards of 300/. for the 'relief of his family. 11, left his rvidow far advanced in prlnancy.

On Saturday Mr. ) Long Wellesley drove to this office, accompanied by a military gentleman, and made application for an assault-warrant against Stewart Derbyshire, Esq., a barrister, for attempt ing "eto horsewhip him. The fracas took place at the office of the Sunday Times, in Fleet -street, where, we understand, Mr. Wellesley called, for the purpose of demanding a contradiction of some paragraph which appeared in the paper in question; and in so doing mentioned the name of Mr. Derby shire, who was within hearing. That gentleman immediately came forward, and high words took place between the parties, in the course of which Mr. Wellesley said, " You know I cannot meet you as a gentleman," whereupon Mr. Derbyshire at tempted to strike Mr. Wellesley with a horsewhip, but was held back by some gentleman present. A second attempt was made by Mr. Derbyshire to horsewhip Mr. Wellesley in Fleet-street, but he was again restrained from doing so. Mr. Wellesley then entered his cabriolet with his friend, and drove immediately to this office for a warrant against Mr. Derbyshire. The assault however having taken place in Fleet -street, Mr. Wellesley was referred to a city magistrate, but was told that he might give his information here, and any warrant which he might obtain in the city would be backed by a magis tme of this office. Mr. Wellesley accordingly gave a short information of the facts of the assault, and proceeded to the city to apply for a warrant. In the course of the morning Mr. Thomas ap peared before Mr. HALLS, and stated that the female dress found in the privy of the house No. 2, Nova Scotia-gardens (next door to the residence of Bishop), had been identified by two females (Mrs. Hitchcock and Mrs. Low), who had called upon him the pre ceding night at the station, in consequence of having seen an advertisement stating that such clothes had been found. It appeared that a poor woman named Fanny Pighorn, who used to obtain her living by washing, left the house of her sister, Mrs. Low (one of the applicants), who resided in Chart-street East, City-road, about six weeks ago, at eight o'clock in the evening, and had never since been either seen or heard of, When she left her sister's, she said she should not be long, as she was going as far only iie Mr. Campion's, in Chmeh-tireet, It appeared that she had called there on the evening in question, and left the house at about nine o'clock, for the purpose, it is supposed, of returning to her sister's. Mrs. Hitchcock, who had known the missing woman for 35 years, described the dress which she used to wear, which exactly corresponded wi,h the clothes found in the privy, She spoke particularly to the shawl, which she said she herself had worn, arid afterwards gave it to Fanny Pighorn ; and she also identified the b:ue cloth pocket found with the other articles, and the fellow of which she produced, saying that they had both belonged to a Mrs. Bell, who on her death had bequeathed one of them to her (Mrs. Hitchcock), and the other to Fanny Pighorn. The moment that the clothes were produced, they were identified by both women, and Mrs. Low positively declared that they were the same which her unfortunate sister had on when she left her house to go to Church-street. Mr. Thomas then called forward Mrs. Hitchcock and Mrs. Low, who fully corroborated the above statement. In reply to questions by Mr. HALLs, Mrs. Low, who wept bitterly, said tfat her sister was about 45 years of age, that she was of a cheerful disposition, in the enjoyment of good health, and of particularly sober habits, Mr. Thomas said, that the shawl which Mrs. Hitchcock had so fully identified was not found with the rest of the clothes, but in a deep well in Bishop's garden, where it had been sunk by means of a large stone, and he had ascerained that about the time spoken to by the applican , s, Bishop had disposed of the body of a woman at one of the hospitals. Ile had also been informed, that cries of " murder" were heard to proceed from the direction of Bishop's cottage, late one night about six weeks ago. Mr. HALLs observed, that the circumstances were most suspicious, and he advised Mr. Thomas to take the applicants to the clerk's office, in order that their information might be !educed to writing. At a subsequent period of the day ;he two women were brought by Mr. Thomas before Mr. MiNsbut. in the private room, when the clothes were produced and again fully identified by them (except the petti coat and shift, which could not be distinctly sworn to) as the clothes of Fanny Pighorn. Mr. Harmer was present, and submitted that a warrant should be lodged at Nesvgate against Bishop and Williams, charging them on suspicion with the wilful murder of Fanny Pighorn. Mr. Thomas should .;se every exertion for the purpose of ascertaining the hospital at which Bishop disposed of the body of a female übout the period stated, with a view to obtain further evidence tend ing to identify it with that of Fanny Pighorn, It was understood that the warrant was lodged by way of detainer against Bishop and Williams in the course of the evening. LAMBETH -STREET. On Saturday Mr. Smith, the vestry clerk of the parish of St, Mary, Whitechapel, waited on the sit ting magistrates, Messrs. NORTON and WALKER, and had a private interview with them on the subject of the supposed murder of Mrs. Walsh. The parti culars or nature of his application were not divulged, but were strictly private. One thing, however, is knoen, and that is, that the body of the old woman who died in the London Hospital, of the name and description of the missing woman, was on Saturday for the second time disinterred, and it is said that there are donlys still on the minds of the parties, as to whether she is not the identical Caroline Walsh who has been so long missing, and who is alleged to have been Barked by Cook and the female Ross. A delicate-looking woman, apparently about 18 years of age, came before Mr. WALKER to complain of the parish officers of St. Anne's, Limehouse, for having refused to purchase a wedding-ring, and pay the expenses incidental to her marriage with a young man who has kept her company fob• some years, and with whom she had latterly lived. The applicant stated, that her lover was willing to make her his lawful wife, but being out of employment some time past, he was unable to pay the marriage fees, or to purchase the ring, lind she therefore made an appli cation to the parish-officers, in the hope that they would do so; they, however, peremptorily refused to grant this request, and she hoped his worship would compel them. Warring, the beadle of Limehouse, had very little doubt but that the parish-officers would have done the needful if they thought the applicant would be bettering her condition by her marriage, but the fact was otherwise. She wi s h e d to w'ed a man who was out of employment, and who was conse quently unable to support her. The parish officers therefore recommended her to go to service, and re linquish, for the present, her matrimonial intentions. Mr. WALKER said this was the very best advice that could be given to her; by complying it would enable her to save as much money as would pay her marriage expences, without being at any time liable to the unpleasant idea of having been Married at the parish expence. The applicant bad no particular objection to go to service, but she doubted much whether she would find the man who offered to make her his wife in a similar humour; be might change his mind, and she would be deprived of an opportunity which might never again present itself. Her intended was an excellent mechanic (a ship-carpenter and joiner), and if he had employment was well able to support both. Mr. WALKER could not interfere in the matter, hut recommended her to take the advice of the parish officers. The poor girl seemed to think t ha t delays were s ir a a y n i g n e g ro h u e s r , c a a n s d e was t s a t h v e e Y ikiee hardvery much deje c t e d, one, and that it was ioo bad to be thus deprived of a husband.
