LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1831. The King of FRANCE returns to Paris this day from his electioneering journey. During his various progress Louis PHILIP must have witnessed the deep sympathy felt by the French people for the brave Poles ; and now, if his MAJESTY does not interfere in favour of that heroic nation, we shall not be sorry if the cholera morbus were to pay himself and his non-intervention Ministry a timely visit The Citizen KING cannot surely be so blind as not to perceive the signs of the times ! Can he then affect to doubt that but for the gal lantry of the Poles—reposing their faith on the national gratitude of France—that the Russian, Prussian, Austrian,—aye, and the Dutch armies, would have been long ere now demanding the King of the FRENCH to abjure his " revolu tionary errors ?" Nay, can Louis PHILIP already forget that he owes the recognition of Russia solely to the thunder of Polish cannon ? The terror of that sound converted the manifesto which NICHOLAS was issuing forth against re volutionary France into a recognition of her Citizen KlNG—and yet Louis PHILIP hesitates to be just—to be grateful ! Cannot he learn from the folly of others, that it may be too late even for himself to be wise ? He has nothing to fear from England—who only waits to hoist the royal standard of Reform—why then does the King of a free people oppose the wish of that people—while yet his compliance may carry with it the grace of favour—and direct the na tional will ?. Brussels and German Papers have been re ceived this morning, but their contents are not important. The National Congress seem to have been nearly unanimous in voting the Budget of ways and means for what may happeizl --108 being for it, and only three against it. This day the Deputation will announce the suc cess of their -mission to Prince LEOPOLD ; so that by Saturday we may know the result. We strongly suspect, however, that Russian hypocrisy is at work in Holland, and that its effects may be seen in the obstinacy of the old KING endeavouring to counteract the good intentions of France and England for a speedy settlement of the Belgic question. The members of the Holy Alliance cannot help see ing that Belgium once disposed of, France will be at liberty to look to Poland. The sooner the better, we say : BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—One of the sons of M. Casimir Perier arrived here yesterday morning. He is going to Hanover as Secretary of Legation. La Belle says, " The Directing Committee of the Na tional Association, in its Sitting the evening before yes terday, resolved to remonstrate against the announcement of the pretended resolution, which the Emancipation sup- poses to have been taken, to cause the tocsin to be sounded on the 30th instant, if the Prince of Saxe Coburg had not accepted the crown. There was, indeed, some men tion in the Committee, not in a deliberation, but in a simple conversation, of the means of calling the people to arms if war should break out, and the tocsin was spoken of, but it is incorrect to say that any resolution was taken on the subject." M. Adolphus Bonnier, one of the valets de chambre of the King of Holland, was thrown into prison at Antwerp on the 24th. It seems that his arrest is owing to the be lief that he is entrusted with a special mission. In the sitting of the National Congress yesterday, the budget of the ways and means was agreed to by a majority of 108 to 3. VIENNA, JUNE 17.—T0-day again a battalion of fron tier troops, a regiment of infantry of the line, and a regi ment of light-horse, marched through this city, the last will be cantoned in the environs. Great apprehensions are felt by the public respecting the cholera, though our Government has taken such measures that it is believed the capital has nothing to fear from it. Public attention is much engaged by the affairs of Belgium since the election of Prince Leopold, and his re fugal . to accept the crown, as it is now feared more that ever, that this affair may in the end, bring on a war. On' funds have declined and cannot recover. Baron Von Mu• nick Bellinghausen, President of the Diet, will immediate!) return to Frankfort. 6%` M. de Kerr Zinger, Secretary to Charles; X., is gon hack to Scotland, and will probably not return to View a for the present, as it appeara that his master and his family remain in Scotland till a more positive opinion can he formed of the turn that the affairs of France will take• This may serve as a contradiction of all the re ports respecting the future residence of the de throned Monarch, respecting some distinguished person who are at this moment out of France, reports whirl ire spread by ill disposed persons. We have hardly any news from Poland, except from the Prusian Stab Gazette,—we learn, however, in consequence of a move went of the garrison of Zamosc towards the frontiers o' Gallicia, a smart action took place in which the Russia,• had the advantage. The position of the army of Mel:- Marshal Diehitach gives room shortly to expect deci.iv, events. From the Turkish frontiers we hear nothing, except that some bands of robbers have again committee excesses in the Austrian territory, and have been severely chastisNl for it. P.S. JUNE S.—We have just received from the Russia,. head-quarters at Uleczetwo, the unexpected intelligence that Field-Marshal Diebitscb was carried off by the cholera on the 10th instant. Four per Cent. Metalliques, 704 ; Bank Shares, 1,031. The mistake which had inadvertently crept into the Reform Bill, respecting the payment of rent half-yearly by 101. householders, is to be forth ►vith corrected in the Committee. The following is Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S letter upon the subject to a Member of Parliament : " Whitehall, June 29. " Sin,—ln answer to ):Mr letter respecting the clause in the Reform Bill, • which rs quires the payment of rent half-yearly, I have to assure you, that the only object in view was to secure a yearly tenancy of a 101. house, ac- cording to the term ' yearly rent' in the original Bill. When the Bill goes into Committee, I shall propose such an amendment of the clause as shall be found to defeat the evasion of the original clause, and at the same time cor rect the error of the present wording. " I remain your obedient servant, " J. RUSSELL. " To W. Rigby Wason, Esq., M.P." . _ To show the deep interest with which the public look into the provisions of the Bill, we insert the following, which we received this morning from that influential body, the Bir mingham Political Union : At a meeting of the Council of the Birmingham Poli tical Union, held at the Globe-tavern, Temple-street, June 27, 1831, THOMAS ATTWOOJ,, Esq., in the Chair; It was resolved unammously—" That a respectful me modal from this Council be forthwith presented to his Majesty's Ministers, expressive of their deep anxiety and alarm at some of the alterations which are proposed to be made in the Reform Bill, which this Council considers to be altogether destructive of the principles of the Bill, and calculated to spread universal discontent throughout the country." By order of the Council, BENJ. HADLEY, Secretary. Birmingham, June 28, 1831. In our Marylebone Police Report will be found one of those flagrant cases of moral tur pitude which the law, as at present constituted, seems wholly unable to reach. We direct our reader's attention to it, for it is one well worthy of consideration. In another part of The Sun will be found an address to his MAJESTY from the Archbishop, Bishops, and Clergy of the province of Can terbury, together with his MAJESTY'S most gracious reply. The address, which is carefully worded, affords little room for com ment ; it is unobjectionable though superflu ous, and talks of the tranquillity of the country having of late been " partially dis turbed by the spirit of violence," which we humbly conceive is matter for civil, not clerical interference. We regret to see the Clergy coming forward to advise his MAJESTY on points with which they have little or nothing to do. If the country has been " partially disturbed," it is for the strong arm of the law, not of the Church, to interpose its authority. Of the Clergy's praises of themselves we have nothing to say ; Sir R. PEEL in this instance has set them an edifying example, which they do right to follow. But we must protest against their declaration that " the truths of divine revelation are publicly held up to derision;" we never knew a time when there was less infidelity abroad than at present, though we also never knew a time when the real functions of the Clergy were so generally understood, and so keenly inquired into. The age is one:of shrewdness and inquisitiveness, not of irreligion or disaffection. The Ministers of the Gospel, so long as they confine themselves to their own duties, and discharge them with zeal, are as much, and even more respected, than ever ; but we will not conceal the fact that they are looked after by the public with a most zealous, learned, and scrutinizing eye. So much the better for the interests of true religion, though it may not, perhaps, square exactly with the notions of pluralists and reverend sinecurists. His MAJESTY'S reply is tem perate and dignified. His gratitude for his loyal Clergymen's address stops discreetly short on this side enthusiasm: He declares that he will support all the just rights and privileges of the Church, and trusts to the meek spirit of Christian charity to do its utmost to defeat the efforts of the infidel. His MAJESTY observes, moreover, that he receives with the highest sa tisfaction the assurance of his Clergy that they will not object to the utmost freedom in the dis cussion of religious subjects, which may be re quired for the elucidation of truth.

YANKEE " ENTICEMENT." —An American sailor lately gave evidence before a Court of Law at Boston in a case of assault. He stated that " JAcx." (the traverser) had powerfully enticed SAM (the com plainant.) JACK'S Counsel asked him to explain what he meant by the word entice. " What do I mean," Sir," said the honest tar. " Why, Sir, I mean this, JACK took a big handspike, and drove it plump in SAm's back. That's what I calls enticing." LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) ROLLS COURT. The MASTER of the ROLLS was occupied the whole morn ing with causes of no public importance whatever, VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took motions thi, morning, none of which, before our reporter left, possessed any public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

PALEY v COVERDALE. This was a suit instituted for anaccc;titiirtf tithes upon milk. foals, and calves, and, after hearing Counsel very briefly, hi; Lordship directed the case to be tried by an issue at nisi prius. CARBERN v. CHANDLER. This was also a tithe cause, by which the plaintiff, who was the impropriate rector of the parish of Pakenham, in Suflblk, sought to recover what were called the great tithes from the de fendant, the owner and occupier of lands in that parish. The defence was two-fold, first, that his lands were not chargeable with tithe at all, and secondly, that if they were chargeable, the tithes had been conveyed to himself by the deed which conveyed the lands to him. Mr. JERVIS for the plaintiff first submitted, that the defend ant ought to be put upon his election as to which defence he would abide by, for as the two were inconsistent with each other, he ought to be put upon his election by one o f th em . Mr. BOTELER for the defendant, declined at present to make any election, and his Lordship thought it best to hear the parti. culars of the case first. Mr. JElt VIS then entered into a history of the lands in ques. tion, beginning with the dissolution of the monasteries by Henn• Bth, in the 31st of whose reign the parish of Pakenham, then a part of the lands of the great abbey of Bury St. Edmund's, re verted to the Crown. In the 3Sth of Henry Bth, the rectory was granted by letters patent, to Robert and Thomas Spring, in con. sideration of 1,4311. 16s. 6d. and from them it descended to two co heiresses of Sir %V. Spring, one married a Mr. Simons, the other a Mr. Discipline; in 1714 a partition of the lands took place, when the tithes of the lands in question in the defendant's possession were allotted to Mrs. Simons, from whom they descended to a Dr. Simons, then to his nephew (the father of the plaintiff), and from him to the plaintiff: The defendant claimed to hold the lands under the sister of Mrs. Simons, by a deed of conveyance which was dated 1784, and recited that the tithes were previously conveyed by a deed of 1775; on reference to the deed of 1775, there was, however, no mention of the conveyance of tithes, and therefore the Learned Counsel contended the deed of 1784, under which the defendant claimed to hold the tithes himself, was falsified. Mr. RICHARDS proceeded to read the evidence for the plain tiff: The case will probably last the whole day. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA Y.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Sta,—l beg to acquaint you that it has been officially commu nicated to me that theauthorities in the Kingdom of Sweden and Norway have declared the ports of Riga, Polangen, and Dantzic as infected with the cholera morbus, and the entire coakt, in cluding all the islands of the same, from the river Oder to the extreme eastern boundary of Estland, as suspected of being so. Ships of war have been despatched to intimate the above mea sures to masters of vessels at sea. In addition to existing qua rantine establishments at Christiansand, Kanoo, Hasselo-flate, and Slito, another similar establishment has been ordered at Drot'ningskar,near Carlscrona. I remain, respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, CHARLES TOTTIE. To John Bennett, Esq., Secretary at Lloyd's. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The following is posted at the North and South American Coffee-house " Liverpool, June 29. " The Elizabeth, from Riga, arrived off this port last night, having the green flag up. One of the crew had died of the cholera morbus, and one was left sick at Elsinore. Considerable uneasiness has been experienced to-day on 'Change, in con sequence of the arriv a l i n th e r i ver o f t h e a b ove vesse l from Riga, and also of the Agnes and the Gleaner having been suffered to enter with the quarantine flags flying, contrary to orders. There is nothing now but a small steam-boat cruising outside the har bour to order them off to Milford." Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 14th June, received to-day, announce a confinercial failure there. Letters from Toulon of the 22d instant, state that new arma ments are preparing there. Letters from Warsaw state, that the Prussians are constructing a bridge for the Russians over the Drevenca, to facilitate their passage over the Vistula. It appears that the grand Polish army is going to attack the Russians on the side of Pultusk ; authentic accounts have been received that General Chrapowski had ob tained several brilliant successes over the Russians, and that he was proceeding to Lithuania with his corps, which was daily in creasing THE FUNDS. The express from Paris has brought a considerable fall in the French Rentes of about 2y per cent. and the estafette letters quote them at 57f. 80c. ; this decline has caused some curiosity amongst the speculators, to ascertain the true motive. The fall in the French Funds might be in consequence of the following paragraph in a French paper:— (From the Journal of Metz.) We confirm what we stated yesterday. Several military di visions, whose head-quarters are here, have received orders to proceed immediately to the Frontiers of Belgium." Consols, which left off yesterday at 83% for the Account, opened rather heavy this morning at 8.44 's‘, and at present they are 82% 83. In the Foreign Market it is settling day, but it is not a heavy account to adjust ; the great difference to settle is in Brasil Stock, about 5 per cent. fluctuation during the account. HALF-PAST ONE. The Swedish and Norwegian Comstil-General has gives notice that it has been officially communicated to him, that the autho rities in the kingdom of Sweden and Norway have declared the ports of Riga, Polangen, and Dantzic as infected with the cholera morbus ; and the entire coast (including all the islands of the same, from the river Oder to the extreme eastern boundary of Jutland) are suspected of being so. Ships of war have been de spatched to give notice of the above measures to masters of vessels at sea. Although the French Funds have experienced a considerable fall, it has had but little effect on our Funds.

We recommend Mr. GALT'S most amusing production to readers of every class to whom a gay and laughing hour is agreeable. It is calculated that the privilege of franking deprives the revenue of no less a sum than 300,0001. per annum, not one-tenth part of which is absorbed in its only legitimate object—the necessary Parliamentary in tercourse between Members and their constituents. Official franking is abused even to a greater extent than that of Members of Parliament. What would our readers think of the fact of boots, shoes, and haunches of venison, being transmitted to and from public offices, under Post-office covers !—yet such has been the case. Upon the whole, it is high time either that this source of fraud and meanness should be done away with altogether, or confined within much stricter bounds than has ever }et been the case.-- Morning Herald.

But it is no less true that there are no parti cular principles of action which distinguish the one. , et of men from the other set of teen; and it mils' also be observed that the Russians, as well as th, Germans, in the Cabinet often form cabals amon2s themselves, and split into parties, or rather coteries which are not distinguished by any national differences : again, it must not be supposed that either of these two classes of courtiers are identified witl the aristocratical body, or with any section of do community in particular, without the circle of their own friends, relations, and dependants. The prevailing hobby of the Emperor for tin time being may be said with greater truth to give h tone to the Cabinet apart from all national distinc tions : thus, atter Alexander's conferences with Ma dam Krudener, the evangelical party, with Prince., Gallitzen at its head, had the ball at their foot foi a time; they were ousted by a combination of the other courtiers with the high clergy, working upon Alexander's temporal fears. After them, Araktcheef, with his military colonies, were the hobby. Arakt cheef was disgraced on the accession of Nicholas, and Diebitsch had his ear, and yet not so completely as to prevent his mortal enemy Toll (I kewise a German) from being nominated the second in com mand. Nicholas himself is said to be almost a fac simile of his Dutch Majesty, rising early and sitting up late, buried among papers and despatches, wish ing to be a pattern of uncompromising justice and, pedagogic strictness, and to have all the movement. : of the State dependent on himself alone.

Mr. Thomas Campbell is their author, and has equalled, if not sur passed the efforts of his youthful muse, in the cause of Polish freedom. His verses combine the tact and thought of the experienced man of the world, with the fancy and feeling and enthusiasm of the poet. They are worthy of Poland and of Campbell : " E'en now far off the sea-cliff, where I sing, 6 ' I see, my country and my Patriot King! " Your ensign glad the deep. Becalmed and slow " A War-ship rides : while Heaven's prismatic bow " Uprisen behind her on th' horizon's base, " Shines flushing through the tackle, shrouds, and stays, " And wraps her giant form in one majestic blaze. " My soul accepts the omen : Fancy's eye Has sometimes a veracious augury : The Rainbow types Heaven's promise to my sight; " The Ship, Britannia's interposing might! " But if there should be none to aid you, Poles, " Ye'll but to prouder pitch wind up your souls, " Above example, pity, praise, or blame, " To sow and reap a deathless field of Fame. " Ask aid no more from Nations that forget " Your championship—old Europe's mighty debt. " Though Poland (Lazarus-like) has burst the gloom, She rises not a beggar from the tomb : " In Fortune's frown, on Danger's giddiest brink, " Despair and Poland's name must never link. " All ills have bounds—plague, whirlwind, fire, and flood : " E'en Power can spill but bounded sums of blood. " States caring not what Freedom's price may be, " May late or soon, but must at last, be free; " For body-killing tyrants cannot kill " The public soul---th' hereditary will " That, downward as from sire to son it goes, " By shifting bosoms more intensely glows: " Its heir-loom is the heart, and slaughter'd men " Fight fiercer in their orphans o'er again. " Poland recasts—though rich in heroes old— . Her men in more and more heroic mould : " Her eagle-ensign best among mankind " Becomes, and types her eagle strength of mind : " Her praise upon my faltering lips expires : " Resume it, younger bards, and nobler lyres ! ! ! COBURex' THEATRE. Mr. KEAN performed Othello here last night to a full, but not a crowded house, for which we suppose the weather was to blame. As much has been said respecting the decline of this eminent tra gedian's faculties, as it has been reported that his physical powers have almost wholly failed him, andthat his memory has forsaken him, we feel it our bounden duty to state that, often as we have witnessed his Othello, we never saw it better performed than last night. Mr. KEAN gave SHAKSEEARE'S text with remarkable ac curacy—with the exception indeed of one or two verbal slips in the well-known " farewell "—and with regard to his physical powers, proved that they were as active and as vigorous as ever. In one respect we think his Othello improved. His pathos is deeper and purer than it used to be—less startling in its transitions, less ambitious in its display of passion. In a word, it is more consonant to truth and nature. There still remains, however, to perfect the character, a little trickery to be got rid of. One specimen of clap-trap particularly annoyed us, thrust in, as it was, in the midst of a scene, studded with beauties. We allude to Mr. KEAN'S delivery of the words, " Oh, fool, fool, fool," which he gave with a familiarity, and even levity, wholly at variance with nature. A bewildered, heart-broken man would surely indulge in no levity of voice or manner. Even the " sad Mockery of woe"—which dandy ball-room poets talk so much of—would be too great an effort for one whose every hope in life had been wrenched from him. Othello, in the scene to which we allude, had heart and spirit for nothing. His very courage had become emasculated : he had not an atom of energy left. " Man but a rush against Othello's breast and he retires." This is the language of absolute, unqualified prostration of mind and feeling, and is surely inconsistent with the spirit in which Mr. KEAN delivered the clap-trap to which we have just alluded ! However these are trifles; specks in the sun-beam. Mr. KFAN's Othello, as we last night witnessed it, is as fine as ever it was-- even in those days when his every other sentence was interrupted by a tempest of applause from pit, box, and gallery. Mr. SEALE'S logo was judicious and intelligent its chief defect was, that it was performed in too learned a spirit. The points were too painfully elaborated; " the jewel lery was overlaid;" the art was too apparent. A little less effort, a little less ambition, will render SERLE'S logo the best on the stage. There is no want of comprehension, no lack of feeling for the more recondite beauty of SHAKSPEARE, that oracle of wit and wisdom, the only want is an easy indiffe rence, o r at least the sh ow of it, which is the inspiration of logo's, worwit ld ; Mr. SERLE makes him a learned man and a wit, whereas his an d his wisdom were both subordinate, and valued by him as it is of VOLTAIRE'S, intellect. logo was a man of the con t r ibuted to, thesuccess of his intrigues. Mr. HARE!. only sON as , s c t a h s e sj o Y was deplorable, both as regards conception and execu .thhought worthy, by the Venetian Senate, tion. We wish this actor would bear in mind that Cassio was a e oin is command, and not make him rave in his ups, like a Foal-heaver under the influence of Geneva. In concluding this hasty notice, we cannot but observe on the very Drury-lane and Covent-garden ;at the minor theatres, when ..or a dvantages that minor theatres have over the large ones .or the legitimate ones as they arrogantly style themselves—in t h e performance of tragedy. SHAESPEA RE is all but unintelligible gentleman at Dr a dequately represented, he has justice done him. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 818 UR 1' NEE TIN G.—TUESDAY .

Every page of this history bears traces of a Whig author, but whose political feelings have not been permitted for an instant to interfere with his sense of justice. The character of the inefficient Sidmouth Administration, and of the equally inefficient Perceval one, is well pour trayed,—freely, yet without undue prejudice.— There are also some minute and interesting par ticulars respecting that memorable " blunder of blunders," the Walcheren expedition, the con ception of which has secured to Lord Castlereagh as unenviable an immortality as its execution has conferred upon the Earl of Chatham, " the hero of defeat." The author, we perceive, is a staunch admirer of Napoleon, for which we respect him, and does justice to the wonderful promptitude, resolution, and sagacity, which that unrivalled warrior and statesman developed during the campaign which terminated in the march of the Allied Powers to Paris. If the history be com pleted in the same spirit in which it has com menced, it will be a serviceable present to the public. WAVERLEY NOVELS. VOL. XXVI. We can merely repeat of this volume what we have said of the majority of its predecessors, that it is gracefully embellished, well printed, is of a commodious form, and reasonable price. Of fresh matter there is little or none, and the notes, like some of its predecessors, are if few and far between." Cooper and Boxall have supplied the embellishments; the former artist has contributed a very spirited picture in his best manner. REFORM; A POEM-LONDON, MI. We have here Reform, in the shape of a poem; and a very spirited one it is too, full of point, and sarcasm, and energy. The author has treated what might at first sight appear an unpromising subject, in a very felicitous manner ; he has clothed it in the graceful flowing garb of poetry, and kept out of sight all dry, repulsive details. We have no definition of Schedule A, nor, as immediately consequent thereon, any episode touching Sir C. Wetherell—whom not even the most exuberant fancy could convert into a poetic hero—but we have plenty of animated declama tion against the Ultras ; energetic apostrophes to freedom, and scenic descriptions, which blend truth with imagination. The subjoined is a favourable specimen of the style in which the poem is written Green are thy . hills, my Country !—green thy vales! A thousand rivers wander through thy dales; Blue are thy skies ; fruitful the beam—the rains— That scatter light—life—beauty—o'er thy plains; Sublime and mighty thy encircling wave— To thee—a bulwark, to thy foes—a grave Health, laughing, shakes her ringlets in the breeze, Points to thy streams—thy shade-difflising trees; Spring softly breathes her odour-wafting dews Deep in thy breast her spirit to infuse; Thy Summer sports, a Houri of the East, And Autumn crowns thee with a general feast; E'en Winter's brow relaxes to .t smile, And bends in kindness o'er thy blessed Isle;— But spite of all that Heav'n has lavish done, Despite of Seasons—ripening show'r, or sun— To the poor peasant—to thy poor, alas ! The earth is iron, and the sky is brass ! In vain the soil with bursting plenty teems— For him no rain descends, no sunshine beams; For him no harvest waves a glad employ— He sows, and reaps, that others may enjoy; His lot in life is bitterness alone,— To ask for bread, and to receive—a stone; To toil—to sweat—and weary of the earth— To curse the day that darken'd on his birth." PARIS AND ITS HISTORICAL SCENES. VOL. 1.-LONDON, 1831. The author, or editor, or compiler of this work, which forms one of the volumes of the Library of Entertaining Knowledge, has brought no great wisdom or research to his task ; never theless, he has contrived to manufacture an amusing, readable book, replete with incident and anecdote, and well told historiettes. The most entertaining portion of the volume is that which describes the scenes which took place at Paris during the first French revolution, and especially the decapitation of Louis and the un fortunate Marie Antoinette. For information on these points the author has consulted the Abbe Edgeworth, and the various Parisian journals of the period. TORY TABLE-TALK. A good subject thrown away. Despotic, bigotted as the Ultras may be, they are certainly no fools, and would scarcely talk in the dull jejune style which this author has put forth as a s ample of their chit-chat. The poem is sad trash, though respectable rhyme. The author is indebted more to his fingers than his fancy. Died, on Tuesday, June 28, ELIZABET Countess of ELuoN, eldest daughter of AUBONE SURTIMS of Newcastle-upon• Tyne. COURT OF CO‘IMON COUsc:l, Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of busin as. TILE REFOILDI BILL. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said, that as he saw two of the \lembers for the city in the Court, he felt anxicus to put a luestion relative to a subject on which they Were all leeply interested. He alluded to the new Reform Bill, into which one clause had been introduced which had caused some degree of alarm amongst his neighbours, and no doubt amongst those who belonged to o.her wards in the city. That clause went to deprive all persons who did not pay their rents half-yearly of the right to vote at elec iona, and was calculated in a great measure to frustrate the avowed and real object of the great measure. It hap opbe I n i e g t e l dththate t t h e e n a u n n t e s x t p o i unexpired y l e t a h se e r o r f en v t a s s t l n n u ai n . i t l e y. r r ly s of ; s li o n t u b s e a s t not only small tenants, but very large ours, would, if the clause remained unaltered, be denied tie very privilege which the Bill was intended to secure for their.. He wished to be distinctly understood as not meaning to east Cie slightest imputation upon his Majesty's Government by expressing his anxiety on the subject ; but he thought that some communication should be made to Ministers, as soon as possible, relative to the clause.—(Hear, hear. ) Alderman WOOD was sure the attention of the House would be called to the subject in due time. He could, vithout fear of contradiction, assert that the clause re quiring the half-yearly discharge of rents was never in tended to operate against those tenants who paid quarterly, but merely pointed at such tenants as paid weekly, and who, of course, were not to be included in the con stituency.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it, however, his duty to call the notice of the Court to another clause which ..iertainly appeared to him to be rather an extraordinary ine. It appeared that several of the freeholders of the city of London would be allowed to vote as constituentslor the county of Middlesex, and of course, according to the prin ciple of the Bill, which went to interdict the voting of one person for two places, a leaseholder at 101. a year rent would have a vote for the city, while the freeholder would lave no vote there. If, however, the house happened to be only of the value of 40s. then the freeholder would have a vote, while the leaseholder would not possess any privilege of the kind. He looked upon such a regulation in the Bill as calculated to affect the city of London very mate rially, and he intended to have a communication with his Majesty's Ministers on the subject without delay, confident of their disposition to introduce any necessary remedial , Isuse in a Bill which was to do so much fut. the rest of the community. Mr. STEVENS felt convinced that the first clause quoted must have arisen from error. He wished the Committee to watch the proceedings of the Reform Bill with care. Be was far from rising to express the most remote suspi cion of any ., thing like deception upon the part of Minis ters—(Cheers)—but while the clause existed, there would exist a very strong sensation throughout the city, and he should therefore move, that copies of Lord Russell's Re form Bill be laid before the Committee appointed to watch the Bill, and that the Committee should report thereupon to the Court.

An eye of fire—a brow of massive thought, And mind of giant-reach, are gone for ever !" A NONVMOUS. A very general and powerful impression has recently been produced on the public mind by the decease of this unrivalled tragic actress ; and while there are many indi viduals of taste and discrimination living to remember her, or any recorded memorials of her powers in existence, the genius she displayed, and the prodigious effect she secured, will not be forgotten. The acting of Mrs. Siddons was like the poetry of Milton—sublime, awful, and over ' whelming ; there was no tawdriness—no tinsel—no mere display : it was not polish only or principally; the term prettiness would not apply to it ; but there was great ma jesty, peculiar and electric power, and an amazing deve lopement of eloquence. Possessing a fine person, a com manding countenance, and an eye of lightning, she had much to fix attention; and when her profound acquaintance with Shakepeare—her mastery over the passions —her im pressive and majestic elocution—her developement of deep and elevated thought—her intense and impassioned feeling —her sound and discriminating judgment—her sublime imagination, are contemplated, it is apparent that there was a combination of qualities amply sufficient to ensure her a deathless reputation. Her personation of Queen Katherine and Lady Macbeth produced an impression which no time can obliterate ; and her representation of several characters which are so exceedingly touching, was so natural, so vivid, so powerful, in the pathos and sensi bility developed, that the exhibition given by this extra ordinary woman, not only affected and subdued, but paralysed and overwhelmed the mind; sow that Mrs. Sid lons has departed this life, we feel that (by thousands who could appreciate her excellence) a loss has been sus tained which can scarcely be estimated too highly ; for a range of thought so lofty, imagination so majestic, and feeling so profound and impassioned, we cannot surp.se will be surpassed, if rivalled ngain. The sun Ni; lost his fire, " And stars can only shoot their beams." There is one thing however associated with this inimi table tragedian, on which I uniformly feel much pleasure in dwelling, namely, the excellent and unblemished moral character which she was enabltd, during life, to exemplify and ma;ntaim Among her family she was most highly esteemed, and by a widely-extended social circle she was, for her admirable qualities of mind and heart, peculiarly beloved. Every thing about her in private life was hind, amiable, and exemplary. Now, when her unrivalled lime is contemplated, this is almost wonderful. The life of a popular actress, especially if there be any fascination of person, is almost one unvarying scene of temptation. Snares are laid to seduce and entrap ht r from every quarter, lures of the most dangerous and bewitching kind are con stantly held out to her, and that female who is unwilling to yield, must be the possessor of much soundness of prin_ eiple, and be characterised by great firmness of purpose. Now, these enviable qualities were exemplified by the late Mrs. Siddons ; she was encircled by innumerable poll., but did not fall into them ; and though the mast illus trious personages were lavish in the expressions of their ad miration of her transcendant genius, her modesty, her un assuming deportment, her excellence of principle, wero preserved inviolate, till the period of her decease— gg And is not this her brightest crown ?" What a happy thing it would be for the stage if all our actresses, in this respect, resembled the late Mrs. Siddons! But, unfortunately, the British Stage has been materially degraded and injured by the irregularities of its female performers. Many of them develope exquisite talents, but cultivate abominable principles; and their levity—their boldness—their wantonness—perfectly disgust every person of correct thought and feeling. It is a pleasing circum stance, however, that there arc several ladies now living whose moral character and deportment are unblemished, and among them Miss Stephens and Miss Fanny Kemble stand out_prominently. Long may they continue thus to shine, not like dark, wandering, baleful stars, but resem bling planets of pure and brilliant radiance, without being defaced or obscured by any thing which encircles them. England can scarcely expect to witness another Mrs. Siddons ; but I hope several will arise to develop some , thing of her commanding powers; and as her relative, Miss F. Kemhle, has exhibited so much talent already, I trust tbo public as she advances in years will have that development of original and lofty intellect, which will remind us in some degree of the almost superhuman energy and elevation which Mrs. Siddons in her best days ex emplified. But, whatever should occur, may the moral character of the deceased Mrs. Siddons never be forgotten. The genius of an actress may be great, " But the charm lies here."
