The first official account of the hurricane at Eat badoes, which has come direct from the Mawd was received at the Colonial-office on the night of Monday. It is of the fol lowing purport : The hurricane of the 11th August was at once one of the most sudden, the most rapid, and the most destructive visitations of the kind which has ever been experienced by a West India island. On the evening of the 10th the sun set on a landscape of the greatest beauty and fertility, and it rose on the following morning upon an utter desolation and a waste. The prospect at the break of day on the 11th was that of January in Europe; every tree, if not entirely rooted up, was stripped of its foliage, and of many of its branches ; every house was materially damaged or levelled with the ground ; whilst every hour spread the intelli• genre of the lamentable accidents, and of very many shocking deaths. The evening of the 10th had not been remarked for any peculiarity of appearance, and the Governor and his family went to bed without the least suspicion of what was to happen. Soon afterwards it began to rain, and there were flashes of lightning and a high wind which came from the north and east. Towards midnight the wind in creased and veered to the west and south-west : the rain fell in torrents, and the lightning was vivid in the extreme. At one o'clock, or thereabouts, it first assumed the ap pearance of a hurricane ; not lung after the roof of the kitchen of the Governor's residence fell in, and at the same .time several of the poor people in the neighbourhood of Government-house (which is situated in the country about one or two miles from Bridgetown) took refuge there, their own wooden houses having been blown down. From about two o'clock till day-break the violence and horrors of the storm are represented to have been such as no language can express. The noise of the wind through the clefts and rents which it had made in the buildings,— the peals of thunder,—the rapidly repeated flashes of lightning, with intervals of impenetrable darkness,—the crash of walls, roofs, and beams, were mixed in appal ling confusion, and every house shook front top to bottom. Whether this latter effect was produced by the force of the wind or by an earthquake, which is supposed by some to have accompanied the storm, seems to be questionable ; but the rents and fissures which were made in the massive walls of the Government-house seemed to he such as no thing short of the shock of an earthquake could have oc casioned. About two o'clock the Governor, finding that his house was giving way, retired with the officers of his staff, his servants, and the unfortunate persons who had escaped from the ne ghbouring huts, to the cellars, where they remained in perfect safety till the day dawned. In any other part of the house their lives could scarcely have been saved, as the ruinous appearances which the morning presented made manifest. The tempest did not entirely cease, nor the atmos phere clear up, till about nine o'clock in the morning of the 11th, and then it was that the extent of the cala• mity carne to be more apparent. Whole families were buried in ruins. Fortunately, some of the churches were found less injured than any other buildings (although many were destroyed), and they were instantly thrown open for the reception of the hurt and the maimed. Medical aid was procured with all the speed which the incumbered state of the streets and roads would permit ; but many trees and houses had fallen across the public ways, and much obstructed the communication between one place and another. No estimate could be formed at the date of the despatches (13th and 16th of August) of the loss and injury sus tained; but the Governor speaks of the equanimity and fortitude with which the inhabitants bore their calamity, as what afforded great consolation to his mind. The barracks and hospitals were entirely dilapidated, and the troops were ordered under canvass, no deaths had occurred amongst the officers, with the exception of one gentleman of the Commissariat, named Flanuer, who with three of his children, a female relative, and two servants, had been buried i❑ the ruins of his house; but the number of soldiers killed of the corps composing the garrison (the Royal Artillery, the 35th and 36th Regiments), was, ac cording to the returns of the 13th, 36; and very many others had sustained accidents of a serious nature. The most wealthy and influential inhabitants were making every effort to relieve the poor, houseless, and destitute. The Governor was using every means in his power to encourage and assist the work of charity, and looked forward with hope and confidence to the sympa thies of the mother country. llis Excellency expressed, however, the determination of himself and of those around him to meet the evils of the time with resolution and for titude, and to exert every effort to assuage and mitigate, to the utmost of their abilities, every distress which might present itself. The few ships in Carlisle-bay had been drivea high on the strand, but in them no lives had been lost. As many members of the legislative bodies as could be assembled met the Governor on the 15th, and Com missioners were appointed, and every proper measure taken for clearing the streets and roads, pulling dow❑ houses which were in a dangerous state of dilapidation, securing subordination amongst the slaves, and preventing plunder and disorder. No names are mentioned of any individuals who have suffered, except Mr. Flanner, the commissariat officer. The loss of life is chiefly amongst the negroes. THE CIIoLERA.—We regret to say that this dreadful malady is rapidly spreading over Germany, and making its way by slow but sure advances to the Rhine and the frontiers of France. Experienced men, and those who have watched the progress of the disease, assert that this country cannot escape, however mitigated may be the form in which our superior cleanliness and mode of life will permit this plague to develope itself. It is generally supposed at the present moment that it will reach us early in the spring. The following extract of a private letter from Vienna, of the 16th September, exhibits a me lancholy picture of the state of that once gay and populous capital :—" At the present moment Vienna is in great confusion; the cholera morbus has broken out in the most violent manner, and the utmost consternation reigns. On the 14th, 41 persons were attacked, out of which number 10 died, one was cured, and 30 at the close of the day re mained ill. Yesterday (the 15th) the malady increased ; 64 died, none cured, and 105 remain ill. This I give from the official account, which is but too favourable; triple the numbers, and it will be nearer the mark. Among those who have fallen victims are the wife of the Minister of the Interior, the Vice-President of War, se veral of the antique counsellors and advocates are already dead ; to-day it absolutely ravages. Four physicians are gone to their last homes ; business and affairs are almost at a stand still; the EMPEROR, however, will not shut him self up in Schonbruran, although all the barricades are pre pared, as he magnanimously determines to be amidst his people. Several thousand of the lower classes, without work, are employed in useful improvements at his expence, There are a great many hospitals established in the city, as well as in the faubourgs ; the utmost possible vigilance is observed, and the greatest precautions have been taken, but all without effect; in Hungary there are more than one hundred thousand dead, and it augments hourly. In Gallicia, that is Austrian Poland, it appears to diminish : perhaps it is a delusive calm—it appeared a week ago to do so in Hungary, and now it is worse than ever." Hi s Eminence the Cardinal Prince Primate of Hungary, ALEXANDER VON RODWAY, died at Gran on the 13th, of the cholera. This Prelate had distinguished himself by electing at Gran his Archiepiscopal See r a cathedral which was intended to be one of the noblest edifices in Europe. It is, however, far from being completed, and the Ger. mans seem to doubt whether any future Primate will incur he expence which that completion would require. EXTRAORDINARY BIRTHS.--A corres pondent, of whom we have no knowledge, has sent us the following for insertion ; we suspect the account to be a fabrication :—.on Saturday, the 24th of September last, the wife of a journeyman shoemaker, of the name of DAILY, was confined of twins, two girls—seven months' travail—both dead. Notwithstanding this, the woman continued to support nearly the same rotundity, and suffered as much inconvenience as before the delivery. On Tuesday, the 27th, to the great astonishment of the poor woman and the dismay of her bewildered husband and friends, she was confined a second time of two more, a boy and a girl, both Of whom instantly died. The woman, however, is doing as well as if nature had made only an ordinary effort. Had they lived, it would have been funny enough, their names being DAILY, and they had keen , christened S a t ur d ay, Sunday, Monday , an d Tuesday. Morning Chronicle. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1831. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald.) PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 2.—The Asia, male convict ship, is expected to sail this week for New South Wales, with 200 convicts, under the superinten dency of Dr. Wilson. The Wanderer, transport, Lieutenant Young, anent, may be hourly expected to arrive at this port, from Quebec, with a company of S►ppers and Nliners. The Forth, (a Leith smack) freight-ship, arrived on Thursday from Leith, with the officers and men who were hired to navigate the Nymph frigate to that port, as a temporary lazarette. The Cygnet, transport, Lieutenant Lester, agent, arrived yesterday at Cowes, with the head-quarters of the 14th Regiment, who disembarked on the same day, to join the Regiment at Albany Barracks. A report was generally current yesterday, that a small squadron are about to assemble in the Downs for the conveyance of troops. The following ships are said to be ordered to proceed thither:—Re venge, Barham, Stag, Curacoa, Brisk, and Recruit. The Stag sailed &oar Spithead for the Downs yes terday, and it is expected she viii be followed by the Curacoa on Tuesday next. We have not heard their probable destination. His Majesty's steam-vessel Echo, Lieutenant R. Otway, arrived yesterday from the eastward, and swill tow out of harbour this.morning his Majesty's ship Curacoa, 24, Captain D. Dunn. His Ma jesty'sship Imogene, 28, Captain P. Blackwood, was towed out of harbour yesterday afternoon by the Echo immediately she arrived. _ . His Majesty's ship Alligator, 28, having been recommissioned last week for foreign service, was taken command of on the 24th ult. by Captain G. R. Lambert. Her late crew, on being paid off, subscribed the sum of 4/. Gs. 6d. in aid of the funds of the Seaman's Hospital ship Dreadnought, (ia!e Grampus) in the River: His Majesty's ship Shannon, 46, Captain Cle ment, Icarus, 10, Commander R. Stuart, and Falcon, 10, Commander T. M. Currie (acting), are daily expected from the West India station. His Majesty's ship Melville, 76, Capt. C. J. W. Nesham, was paid off on Thursday last, and re-com missioned on the following day by Capt. H. Hart, for the fla-1. of Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore, K.C.B. appointed to succeed Sir E. Owen as Commander in-Chief in the Elst Indies. Her late crew, on being paid off, very liberally contributed the sum of 1 IC7s. 7d. to the funds of the Seaman's Hospital ship. Her detachment of Royal Marines, under the command of Captain Walter Powell, of the Woolwich division, disembarked yesterday, having been received by a fresh detachment from head quarters, under the command of Capt. J. I. Willes. At Spithead—lmogene. In Harbour—Spariiare, Melville, Royal George, Alligator, Curacoa, Etna, Columbia and Echo, steam-vessels. We have great pleasure in being able to set at rest the apprehensions which have been lately enter tained with respect to the health of his Majesty's ship Sparrowlawk. By a letter, dated Port Royal, Jamaica, August 14, 1831, we learn that although she has been visited by a most grievous and general sickness, while on her voyage to Chagres and back to Port Royal, between the sth of July and the llth of August, the following are the only deaths which have occurred out of ninety serious cases of fever on board, from a crew of 113, viz. :—Mr. T. K. Huddleston, on the 20th of July; Mr. G. M. Buchan, on the 31st of July ; Serjeant William Clarke, on the Ist of August; John Barrett, sea man, on the 4th of August ; John Whitby, seaman, on the 711) of August; Peter John Monkland, sea man, on the 13th of August :—Eleven have been sent to Port Royal Hospital, and, as the place is, at present, remarkably healthy, it is expected and hoped all will recover, many being in a convalescent state. " This ship is now going to Santa Martha on a short service, and after this, it is expected she will take a trip to the Northward, to recruit. The Columbine was all well at Chagres, on the Ist of August, and was expected at Pert Royal about the 25th of the same month. The Falcon is at Port Royal, all well. The Hyacinth had sailed for Port au-Prince, all well. The small-pox is committing dreadful ravages in Kingston and its vicinity. A great deal of slaving is going on, and notwithstanding the vigilance of their cruisers, they make successful voyages. Several pirates are spoken of, as plunder ing ships off various parts of Cuba and solitary haunts on this station. The Pickle, Lieut. Taplin, took a Pertuguese slaver with 150 slaves on board, off the Berry Islands; going over the Grand Baham a Bank. The Monkey, as you will most likely have heard, was lost on the bar of Tampico. Crew all saved, and have been conveyed to the Admiral at Bermuda, by the Pincher, Lieut. Tulloh. There does not appear to he the least reason to suppose any violence was used to Capt. Foster, late of theChan tieleer, but his death is to be attributed fairly t o accident. I have formed this conclusion after mak ing the most minute inquiry at Chagres. The Spar rowhawk has had counter orders to sail for Barba does, with 50,0001. Government money, to pay troops, &c. there. She will leave here on the 17th or 18th of August." By accounts from Rio de .Janeiro to the 25th of July, we learn that his Majesty's ship Druid, 46, Captain G. W. Hamilton, C.B. had arrived there from England on the 12th of that month ; and his Majesty's ship Tribune, 42, Captain J. A. Dune, on the 22d, tifty-two days from Valparaiso, having on board a freight of 900,000 dollars. She was to sail for England by the Northern Ports, as soon as affairs should become a little settled at Rio, and would, it was supposed, bring home about 60,000 dollars, which had been recovered by the exertions of Corn. T. Dickinson, of his Majesty's ship Lightning, from the wreck of his Majesty's late ship Thetis, stink on the coast of Cape Frio. The Lightning was hourly expected at Rio, in consequence of its being considered necessary, from the unsettled state of affairs, to have as large a British force there as possible. His Majesty's ship Tyne, 28, Captain C. Hope, was to sail on the 27th of July, for Bahia, to protect the British trade. We regret to find that Mr. Moore, engineer, a mate, and two seamen, who had been employed at Cape Frio in the recovery of the treasure from the Thetis, had been unfortunately swamped, on the 18th of July, off the coast of Cape Frio, in a boat in which they were going ashore, and drowned. ItEroßm.—lt may be safely affirmed that the noble cause of Parliamentary Reform, towards the support of which the best energies of England are at length aroused, has never had a more zealous, indefatigable, and consistent advocate than the late Major CARTWRIGHT. To those unacquainted with the two published volumes of his 4' Life and Correspondence," it will be especially in tereseng at this important political crisis, to know that they contain the most copious fund of historical matter relative to the grand subject of Reform which is probably to be met with in any existing publication. Mr. GIIEATOREX was always one of the Party at the dinner given by the Royal and Noble Direc tors of the Ancient Concerts. At one of these, his late ;MAJESTY (then Prince of Wales) endeavoured to persuade him to remain longer at table than his duties would allow as conductor of the performance to take place that evening. Air. G. pleaded the necessity of being punctual at all times, especially when the KING and QUEEN were to be present. " Oh, never mind them," said the Prince, jocularly, "my father is Rex, I confess, but you are a Greater Rex.— Hainzonicon. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. ( Concluded front our Paper of yesterday, ) Mr. STEVENS came forward, and was received with great cheering. He congratulated the Livery of London upon the result of their exertions in selecting a man to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, whose conduct during the year proved that he had advocated the glorious principles of William the Fourth and his Ministers, who had strenuously supported the Bill now before the House of Lords, and who had been placed in a situation so critical as required a man of much courage and fortitude to fulfil the duties of his office.—(Loud cheers.) It bad been asked, '' Will the Livery he dictated to ?" He replied by asking whether it was dic tation in electing the man who was best calculated to sup port those principles which the Livery had been many years fighting for? The Livery had done their duty by electing Sir John Key and Alderman Thorpe, who would now go More the Court of Aldermen, the House of Lords of the city —(Laughter and cheers)—.and it might now fairly be asked " what will the Lords do ?"--(Loud laughter.) Would they return Sir John Key according to the wishes of the Livery? He replied they would—(A cry, " They must") —for in that Court there were the four representatives of the city, who were elected, nay pledged, to support the cause of Reform, as detailed in the Bill now in the House of Lords—(Cheers)—and they having elected Sir John Key to serve another year, because he was the fittest man to join in that glorious cause—(Cheers) — they might, therefore, put those four down as certain to vote for the people's choice, or they need never show their faces on those hustings again.—(Cheers.) There might be in that Court some half dozen zealous Tories, but he trusted that the majority were advocates of Reform, and all who were advocates of that great cause, if they hoped ever to stand before the Livery again, must vote for Sir John Key. On the vat of Sir John Key and Al derman Thorpe lie returned thanks to the Livery, because they had shewn those genthonen a mark of esteem and respect for their public services—(Cueers)—but as regarded the principle of the Reform Bill, the Livery should be thank ful to the Lord Mayor for having consented to serve them a second time.—(Cheers.) Mr. C. PEARSON stepped forward and was most enthusiastically , applauded. He had some resolutions to propose for the consideration of the Livery, but before he detailed them he begged to be allowed to clear away a little of the brushwood with which they were encumbered. In the first place he wished to do an act of justice to a gentleman who deserved it of him, and who had only been heretofore neglected by him because lie had an objection t combatoa to g weinthag e a boxing hi an objection match as v lh a strong it as e should h chimney-sweep. —( Laughter.) At this moment the Loan 'Mayon, made his appearance on the hustings, and was greatly cheered ; he was loudly called for, and upon silence being obtained lie addressed the Livery. He observed, that although the poll was closed, the ultimate decision of the Court of Aldermen would not b e made known until Monday next. He could not, however, deny himself the pleasure of congratulating the Livery on their triumph—a triumph far greater than his most sanguine friends could have expected—(Cheers) .—for when they had to contend against the oppo nents of the King and his Ministers—when they had to meet the opposition of all who prided them saves on being Anti-Reformers, those who were ac tuated by interested motives, and those who contended for the rule of rotation, it was indeed a glorious triumph in favour of freedom and the liberal institutions of the country—(Cheers)— r indeed it strongly manifested the unshaken zeal and earnestness of the Livery in support of the great measure of Reform.—(Loud cheers.) It proved also they were determined to support the man who was the ardent defender of the rights and liberties of the people.—(Cheers.) He should now sit down, did he not find that the calumniating creatures had been at their dirty work again ; they had calumniated him by publishing an advertisement without a sig nature. The Lord Mayor here adverted again to the charge against him respecting the presentation to Christ's Hospital, and stated that it was now put forward by a Mr. Anderton, that the 2001. had been given to charities in his name ; that individual was now present, and he (the Lord Mayor) declared that that statement was a gross falsehood.—(Cheers.) He would now traduce another agent of Sir Peter Laurie's—a Mr. Turner—(Great uproar)—a man whose praise and whose friendship he should consider the foulest disgrace.— That person had sent a letter to the morning papers ca lumniating him, and knowing that he could not reply to it until the close of the poll.—(Groans.) He stated that his (the Lord Mayor's) presentation of Charles Reekes to Christ's Hospital was rejected ; " but," said his Lordship, " if the boy be now living, I will tell the Governors of Christ's Hospital that be shall be admitted."—(Loud cheering.) After again thanking the Livery, his Lordship withdrew. Mr. C. PEARsoN again came forward to conclude the speech he had begun. He stated that he had alluded to an individual whom he was about to mention, but the Lord Mayor had condescended to deal with him. He would now come to the resolutions he held in his hand, and he would premise that although the Livery had ex pressed their opinion, there was another body to whom its con s id e ration would be entrusted. The first resolution he intended to propose was expressive of confidence in the conduct and principles of Sir John Key ; secondly, that in returning Alderman Thorpe with him, the Livery had only the object of securing the re-election of Sir John Key; thirdly, that the Livery felt confident that the Court of Aldermen, particularly the four city representatives, will elect the individual who was the object of the choice of th e Livery ; and lastly, that a d e p u t a ti on of thi r ty gentlemen ba appointed to attend a C ourt o f and to repr esen t t h e su b stance of resolutions,ticina's well as to p ress on t h at b o d y returning Sir J. K ey. F or th i s hitter tt A ihi l ee d s e e r n t e u c e e n s t y y p o e i proceeding he had a precedent, in the year 1799, whe n their present representative, Alderman Waithman, stood in that hall until twelve o'clock at night, battling with the Court of Alderman to bring them to their senses. He was however of opinion they would not have such la bour on this occasion, for six or seven Aldermen had voted, and that was certainly the best assurance that they could not vote in the Court of Aldermen with any decency.—(Cheers.) He alluded to Aldermen Brown, Copeland, Ansley, Atkins, Scholey, Lucas, and Christopher Smith. Therefore, arguing first affirmatively, that these tour representatives were trusty men, and nega tively, that the other gentlemen would not vote at all, the election of the Lord Mayor would be certain. Mr. P. then alluded to the conduct of Mr. Turner, which he dwelt on at some length, and stated that the contest, so far as the Livery were concerned, was at a close. But he begged them not to unbuckle their armour until they knew what the Lords would do. He then alluded to Sir Peter Laurie, who had fitllen between two stools, but who, if he made up his mind, might make on ordinary occasions a re spectable chief magistrate.—(Cheers.) Mr. D. BARRETT seconded the resolutions, which were put and agreed to unanimously, and the hall was adjourned till Monday. [From the singular circumstance of the Court of Aldermen having adjourned their decision until Monday, we presume that sapient body are waiting to ascertain What the Lords will do."—EniToß.] The Bishop of ST.

He aln presented a petition from the out dwellers of Dover in favour of Baferm, and also praying the abolition of the office of Lord Warder; as the person holding that high station might very consideraNy influence the electors of that town. The Duke of WELLINGTON did not see why the office of Lord Warden should be put down. as it had nothing to do with the right of election. The Earl of FIFE presented a petition from Keith, in favour of Reform. The Marquis of SALISBURY presented a petition from Falmouth, praying she House not to pass the Bill Without due securities. Lord GLENGALL presented a petition from Tipperary against the Reform Bill. Though it was hi: intention to vote against the second reading of this Bill, he Wa3 a de cided triend to the proper representation of the people. lie conceived there was a difference between voting against Re fwm altogether, and against this particular Bill. And he was convinced that if a measure, not going to the great length which the present Bill did, was introduced, it would give general satisfaction. . _ Lord BILiiAVEN presented a petition from Hadding ton, in favour of Reform. The Earl of HADDINGTON would take this oppor tunity of addressing a few words to their Lordships. He was well aware, and had long been aware, of the extent to which the desire of Parliamentary Reform had gone in Scotland, but the Bill now before their Lordships re lated to this part of the United Kingdom. It was the in tention of the Noble Earl in the course of what he stated last night, to have adverted to the absolute necessity of the application of the principle of Reform for Scotland, but in the confusion of addressing their Lordsbips he had forgot to state it, anti was now de sirous of rectifying that omission. He never had at any time doubts that if the principle of Parliamentary R. form was to be adopted, its application to Scotland was essentially necessary.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He con sidered the representation of Scotland as partand parcel of that of the whole United Empire, and he was anxious, therefore, to make no encroachment on it. If Scotland had continued an independent kingdom, and had not flourished under the present system as it had done, it would have been impossible that that system of representation could have lived so long. He considered it, therefore, necessary that the principle of Reform should be applied to Scotland, so as to give the counties a sound and rational system of popular representation, founded, not as this Bill pro posed, but really upon property; and as to the boroughs, such an alteration should be made as to give the respectable householders in towns the power of voting to send Members to serve in Parliament. Earl CAMPERDOWN rejoiced that this was not the first time that the Noble Earl had declared himself favourable to Scotch Parliamentary Reform. That Noble Earl had stated in the beginning of his ad dress that this measure had no reference to the Scotch Bill. He (the Earl of Camperdown) admitted that as to the details of that measure the assertion was right, but the people of Scotland, it should be understood by their Lordships, knew no sort of distinction between English and Scotch Reform Bills. They looked to the one now on their Lordships' table as deciding the question of Reform, and if unfortunately their Lord ships should refuse to give that Bill a second reading, introduced as it had been into the House, that rejection would in Scotland be received with universal alarm and dismay. When the Scotch Reform Bill came before their Lordships' attention, he should be happy to meet his Noble Friend's argument. But he would take that op portunity of alluding to what had fallen on a previous even from a Noble Duke opposite. That Noble Duke bad stated, and most truly, that no country had flourished more than Scotland. But if its prosperity went to defend its representation, it would go to the extreme point, and prove that no representation at all was in point of fact the best form of Government. The prosperity of Scotland, how ever, was owing to very different causes. She had flourished in spite of representation. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was irregular to advert to what he had stated on a previous occasion. He would say, however, that he had not on that occasion alluded to the representation of Scotland. What he said was, that that country was prosperous, and had been well governed. He considered it as under the Government of Great Britain, and that, like every other part of his Majesty's dominions, it had advanced in prosperity, and perhaps advanced further than any part.—(Hear, hear.) He gave, however, no opinion as to the representation, whe ther it should be reformed or not. What he did state in a subsequent part of his speech alluded to, was that in considering what should be the state of representation of the people in the House of Commons, their Lordships ought to consider what sort of Government the country had possessed, and that the change proposed for Scotland, should be discussed at the same time as the measure which applied to England. Lord BELHAVEN was astonished to hear the remark of the Noble Earl on the cross bench, that while he would give his support to a Bill of Reform based on property for Scotland, he would not give his vote for the second reading of the English Bill. He (Lord Belhaven) in supporting the Bill, gave his vote in approbation of the principle of Reform which it embraced, and if his Noble Friend (Haddington) could show him, when the Bill went into Committee, the Bill was not based on property, he would vote against the third reading. Earl HADDINGTON had not talked of the English, but the Scotch Bill. The Earl of ROSEBERY corroborated the statements made by Earl Carnperdown relative to the cause of the pros_ perity of Scotland uuder its misgovernment. It had flourished in consequence of its representation being blended with the snore popular representation of England. The Duke of ARGYLE presented a petition from Campbell -town, in favour of the Reform Rill. resident in Belfast, praying th e i r L or d s hi ps the Reform Bill into a law. Th e N o bl e Mar hefroAmlaritihueis N of o L bi O lit N y ll , O C N le D rg E y l , tß i‘ l i r er i:r h e a s n en ts t , ed ß a ank pe er ti s - , pass the aware of the in conven i ence atten di ng s: P a t mtni i nuo o adti n i ks ‘ ti oonwtgp: speeches in presenting petiti ons , b ut w h en so muc h had been said upon the presenting of petitions from Scotland by other Noble Lords, he thought he might be permitted to make a few observations in presenting this petition with respect to the feelings of the people of Ireland. There was so much of history attached to the town of Belfast with respect to its political sentiments, that when their Lordships heard this petition, and when they heard what he (the Noble 111 irquis) had to state with respect to the meeting at which this petition Was propeed..—a meeting called, not for the purpose of PRICE 7D. getting up this petition, hut of getting up a petition favourable to the Reform Bill, their Lordships would find there was no longer any ground for any of them to entertain the notion that there was not a considerable do gree of re-action on this important subject, and that the general opinions of the people were not now very different to what they were before. Belfast was the third town in Ireland in point of import ance, and it Ivar surrounded by the Counties of Dowtl, Antrim, and Londonderry ; and the petition spoke the feeling of comparatively all the per-ons throughout those three counties, as well se those inhabiting Bel fast. A great portion of Belfast belonged to a Noble Mar quis and a Noble Lord.—(Hear, hear.) During the last Government these two Noble Lords were the main supporters of Tory principles; but as changes would take place eccasionally amongst the greatest, they had now be come cones is to different principles. No doubt they 1. had used their utmost efforts to get the meeting attended by persons who would be favourable to getting up a petition praying the House to pass the Bill ; but still, though the meeting had been announced by the Sovereign of the town of Belfast, Sir Stever: Mayne, a near relative of the Noble Marquis to whom he had alluded, and notwithstanding the influence of that Noble Marquis, and the other Noble Lords, the petition agreed to at that meeting was the one he had now the honour to present, and which earnestly prayed their Lordships not to pass the Bill. He had the happinees to feel that he possessed the good opinion of a great portion of the people of Belfast as well as of the North of Ireland. Notwith standing the acrimonioses feeling that existed towards him in the minds of part of his Majesty's Govern— ment, and in consequence of possessing that good opi nion and confidence, the presenting of this petition had been entrusted to him, and he had great pleasure in complying with the requtst of the petitioners. . . - The petition having been read at length, The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said it was signed by upwards of 4,000 persons, which sufficiently proved that a considerable re-action had taken place. Earl GOSFORD said he had heard the petition, and notwithstanding what it stated, he world declare that • it did not speak the sentiments of the wealth and respec tability of the town of Belfas•. Lord TENIPLEMORE stated that the feeling in Bel fast upon the subject of Reform was now as strong as ever it was. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—The petitioners stated that they were in favour of Reform, but that was a very different thing from being in favour of this Bill. He denied that he had thrown any insinuations on the Noble Lord who was absent. With respect to the petition which ilad been presented by an illustrious Duke (Sussex) on a form - er night, and on which he (the Marquis of London derry) ha;! commented, he now begged to say that he be lieved, from brther information, that he had been mis informed. The Duke of SUSSEX was quite satisfied with the ex. planation of the Noble Marquis, and he received it with the greater pleasure, because he had been called upon by the petitioners to re-state what he had stated on the previous evening. The Earl of ELDON spoke in a very low tone, but we understood him to complain that they were called upon to settle the provisions of the English Bill, without at all knowing what was to be done with the question of Scot land or of Ireland. Earl GREY presented petitions from Staines, Seven Oaks, and other places, in la-rour of Reform ; also a peti tion from High-street, St. Giles's, to the same effect, signed by every inhabitant of the street, with the excep tion of five. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented eleven petitions in favour of the Bill; among others, from Huddersfield, Bishopsgate Ward, Selby, Duddiugton, a town in Perth, Galway, St. Giles, Camberwell, St. Clement Danes, and • Chorley. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented petitions to the same effect from Rothsay, in the Isle of Bute, and from Galway. Lord DACRE presented a petition from Cheshunt and Amersham, to the same effect. THE ADJOURNED DEBATE. The order of the day baying been read for resuming the debate, The Earl of FALMOUTH began by complimenting the high talents of the Noble Lords who had preceded him, and by depreciating his own, in consequence of which he felt the greatest diffidence in addressing the House. Still he was anxious to record his humble opinion on this se rious subject ; though at the same time he must say, that he did not think those who had followed on the same side as the Noble Earl who had introduced this measure to the House had added much to his arguments, towards induc ing their Lordships to allow this Bill to be read a se cond time. A Noble Viscount had observed on the difficulty that was suggested as to his Majesty's Mi nisters obtaining seats under the Reform Bill, that it would be very easy to introduce a supplement for that purpose. But did this go to the final settlement of the measure ? Did this prove that there was to be no future change in this wonderful panacea? A Noble Marquis had followed up this idea of the Noble Viscount, by alluding to many points, which, were anything hut calculated to prove that this Bill ought to pass. In fact, in his opinion, nothing had been said to justify any man of a Statesman-like naiad to vote in favour of the Bill. A Noble Viscount (Goderich) who was a Member of the Government had spoken on the same side ; but he thought that a Noble Friend of his had given an entire answer to that speech, by referring to what had been the conduct of his departed leader, Mr. Canning ; and it was therefore unnecessary for him (Lord Falmouth) to try further upon this point. The Noble Earl (Radnor) who had concluded the debate on the pre vious evening had rather afforded the House a good humoured speech than a debate on the subject. That Noble Earl's speech had been contradictory from beginning to end. He had said that he hated change, and yet he argued in favour of the greatest change that bad ever been pro posed to Parliament.—(Hear.) And then he had gone on to tell their Lordships that they themselves must change, be cause they were growing old : but though that was true, he (Lord Falmouth) trusted that they were not for that reason to be put in schedule A and annihilated. The Noble Earl had then gone on to say, that the radical Re formers were satisfied. But bow did he prove that ? By telling their Lordships immediately afterwards, that Mr. Hunt was not satisfied. If that Noble Earl had teen in his place, he would have asked him if he himself was satisfied with the Bill ; for a few weeks ago he had stated in his place, that he was a radical Reformer, and that nothing but the ballot would please him ; and he had seen a letter of the Noble Earl's to a person in Manchester, regretting that Mr. Cobbett was not in Parliament, and stating that it had been his intention to put him in for Downton— for that borough of which the Noble Earl had told them last night one of the tenements was in a ditch. Whether he meant by that that he would put Mr. Cobbett in a ditch or not, he (Lord F.) did not know.--(A laugh.) But after what the Noble Earl had said about Mr. Cob bett, let their Lordships look at Mr. Cobbett's own letter to the people•of Manchester and ask themselves whether Mr. Cobbett was satisfied, and whether through him the Noble Earl was satisfied? But, in fact, he did not look upon the Noble Earl's speech as an argu ment, hut rather as a sort of propitiation of tbs. Nob e Earl (Grey) who, on his stanoing up tor the ballot, had read him a pretty severe lecture. How the two Noble Earls had since made it up he (Lord Falmouth) could not tell.—(Hear, hear,) As to the Noble Earl's (Grey) speech, he had never heard, in all his life, one that more strongly proved the difference between an oratorical effort (however splendid or showy in appearance) and that sound reasoning which a speech from a Minister of the Crown, on so solemn an occasion, ought to have contained. That younger politicians—that men of no Statesmanlike experience—that persons who had deserted the footsteps of their dead leader for a new path of their own, should have uttered such things, would have excited no surprise in his mind ; but it certainly had astonished him that he should have had to look in vain through the Noble Earl's • speech for either sound logical reasoning, or for d e ductions drawn from the experience of history. If the objects which the promoters of the Bill had in view was the esta blishment of a republic, they ought in candour and fair ness to say so at once. if they were tired of the ano malies which the British Constitution presented, and sighed for the model of symmetry which the so-often praised Constitution of America offered to their view, why not say so manfully ? America had a republic about as old as the political life of the Noble Earl op posite. This country had a Monarchy of nearly thrice that age, dating as far back as the Revolution of 1688. Let no Reformer say he was a friend to the present system of Government by King, Lords, and Commons—let him at • once declare that he preferred the American Constitution but not entirely on account of its uniformity and regu- • larity. In America there were some anomalies which were aet:o f n o u a r p t h p rather remarkable. By the American .Constitutionoeninithatinyg. • could be proposed subversive to that Constitution, unless it were sanctioned by two-thirds of the Members of Congress, l ea ° r f ed th to e and recognised by the L eg i s l a turei no o fin i s i t i t z u . States. In this there was a great _ e on i s t er e va f tiv d e principle know well the fallacy of a Government which depended operating a t f i r n a g m er h t e b e A e w x e c e r i s c s a i v n e upon the wi ll of t h e people ; they seemed to feel, that whether a system of Government was right or wrong, "" "':
