danger—that it was ❑ot to be saved by any little temporising measure—in short, that its condition was desperate, and such as could only be re medied by great concession, or, in the absence of great concession, by 'greater miracle. Happily his Majesty's Ministers have taken that view of the question which contemplates the o rdinary course of things, and professes to remedy the consequences of human error by the employment of human means. They have applied themselves to accomplish the reduction of an overgrown Church establishment ; and, by so doing, they have taken the first step towards its restoration and security. Even Mr. O'Connell bore witness to the efficiency of this second Reform Bill. We will not repeat the parti culars of the measure, as we have given them else where, but we will say that they are characterised by the same vigour which, on a previous occasion, united every class of Reformers in support of one plan, and that for the first time since Reform had become a subject of discussion. It would be absurd to make it a question whether the plan is likely to be carried or not. It will be carried triumphantly. According to Lord Althorp's statement, the clergy—at least the higher clergy—whose pe cuniary interests suffer most under its arrange ments, are not opposed to it. The people, we know, will be for it, and their representatives may be said to have already expressed an opinion in its favour by the cheers with which they hailed its first announcement in the House. Some few dissentients, it is true, will be found both in and out of Parliament—nay, some have already declared themselves ; but what can they do? They have not now the same House of Commons to appeal to which was led by the common instinct of self•pre servation to sympathies with the preservation of abuse. In fact, it is only from the House of Lords that we can expect any thing like a serious opposi tion to the measure. Even there, however, if the Bishops, or any large portion of the Bishops, are content, we do not see how the lay Lords can get up any thing like a formidable resistance. Conside rations will suggest themselves to every one in favour of the probability that even the Lords will be more tractable than heretofore. There can be no doubt that its effect upon the state of things in Ireland will be powerful and beneficial, and that re flection alone implies a host of recommendations. It is an argument which, standing by itself, would require more strength to overturn it than %% e are disposed to anticipate from even the most compe tent and practised advocates who have taken the principle of Conservatism under their especial pro f ction.—Morning Herald. The debate in the House of Commons upon the plan proposed by Lord Althorp for the Reform of the Irish Church will be read with the deepest in terest. Mr. O'Connell expressed his gratitude to the Ministers for the measure they announced. We need scarcely say that we contemplate it with alarm and aversion. It has the merit of being for the pre sent very hard to be understood. If it is intended to devote one shilling of ecclesiastical property to pur poses not ecclesiastical, then to the annals of miserable weakness, of monstrous inconsistency, of volun tary self-abasement, we have one sorrowful and indignant chapter to add. If such an intention is not entertained, then we have only to marvel that the restless desire of change should have iduced the Cabinet to sanction a scheme which must alarm many of their friends, which cannot satisfy one of their enemies, which has all the peril of caprice without any of the advantages of rapine. But we make a distinction which after all it is im possible to maintain. In matters of this sacred kind, to be fantastic is to be wicked. At the same time Lord Grey postpones the announcement of his " measure of coercion ;" and it is rumoured that in those parts of it which were likely to be most offen sive to the Repealers, modifications and conciliatory amendments are already introduced. What nego tiations there may have been with rebels, what submissions may have been made to traitors, we hope, for the credit of noble name and high lineage, history may never record.—Morning Post LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILROAD. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inha. bitants of Deptford and Greenwich was held at the Mitre Tavern, Greenwich, on Monday, to take into considera t ion the proposed line of road, and the probable injury or advantage that its completion will be to that neighbour hood. ADAM YOUNG, Esq., in the chair. Mr. CIIARLKS CARLTAR explained to the meeting the vast importance of this undertaking to Greenwich and i:s vicinity, by opening a cheap and speedy access to the healthiest and most beautiful environ of the metropolis. The work has the sanction of his Majesty's Postmaster. General (the Duke of Richmond), who consid.rs that its continuance to Dover, by way of Woolwich, Gravesend, and Canterbury, would tend to facilitate our intercourse with the continent, and be of great national advantage. A map of the intended line of road was exhibited to the meeting. It commences at the foot of Londonsbridge, crosses Bermondsey-street, near Crucifix-lane, and will be carried through the lower and almost depopulated part of Deptford to Greenwich. Mr. Carltar also said that it was ex • peered that the completion of the road would be followed by an Act of Parliament preventing steam-boats from ap proaching nearer to London than Greenwich and Deptford, in consequence of the frequency of accidents arising from the rapidity of their motion. A Gentleman having made some observations showing taus probable distress that this road would occasion to the Pl4terfpen, a considerable number of whom are parishioners of Deptford and Greenwich, Mr. GiLt.err, a parson connected with the trade of the river, said that the railroad could not make their situation worse than it then was, as the steam navigation of the river bad totally ruined their business. Resolutions in favour of the measure were put and car ried, and also a vote of thanks to the Chairman. It was stated that the Members for the borough of Greenwich were prevented from being present by their parliamentary duties. Before the meeting separated a considerable number of Gentlemen signed the petition to Parliament for a Bill.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY.—By JANE AUSTEN. Standard Novels, No. XXXIII. London, MS.—. We are glad to find that the excellent produc tions of Miss AUSTEN are introduced into the collection of 5 Standard Novels,' now publishing by Mr. BENTLEY. The great characteristic of her stories is their domestic Matt. The characters that move in them are as real as the litn,2uage uf direct simplicity can make them. It is impossible, however, to read the conversations in Miss AuslEN's novel's without becoming insensibly impressed with their natural luency and un'ophisticated earnestness. The charm sf the style is not at first obvious, nor is the reader soon made aware of the spell that fascinates him ; it is only after perusing many pages that the mind becomes attracted, and then the irresistible vraizemblance that Animates the whole, gradually wins upon the feelings, and the book is laid down with a pleasurable conviction of the singular ability and profound knowledge of character which it exhibits. These works are very unlike Madame d'AnaLAv's, and they have no less apparent skill than Miss PORTER'S or Miss EDGEWORTII'S ; hut we are not ()trite sure whether Miss AUSTEN, as an observer of human nature and a faithful chronicler of life as it is, does not take higher rank than either of them."—Atlas. BIRTH IN A STEAM-BOAT.—A few days aloes, a respectably dressed woman, who was crossing channel in the Newport steamer, whilst standing on the deck of the vessel, was taken suddenly unwell ; every at tention was meat kindly paid her by all on hoard, who were soon agreeably surprised by the announcement of an unexpected visiter—a fine bouncing boy.

THE use of these Drops having been attended with much success in relieving Pectoral Affections, the Proprietor feels that he is warranted in introducing them still more extensively to public notice :—wherever known they have been approved. They have been found most efficacious in the cure of Coughs and Affections of the Chest, accompanied with Hoarseness or Wheezing. A teaspoonful taken occasion. ally allays the most troublesome Cough, promotes easy expectoration, removes difficulty of Breathing, and relieves the soreness and oppression of the Chest, which usually accompany Pulmonary Complaints. It is well adapted for Children, to whom it may be freely given. Price 13P. per Bottle, duty included ; or in large Bottles, equal to three small ones, 2s. 9d. each. Also EVANS' APERIENT ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, For INDIGESTION, and those Complaints arising from the State of the Stomach and Bowels, generally termed BILIOUS or NERVOUS. These Pills have for a long period been extensively used, and are found a safe and valuable remedy for Bilious De rangeinent, Indigestion, Habitual Costiveness, Nervous Affections, and those diseases proceeding from Dyspepsia, and coirmonly attended with Loss of Appetite, Sick Heid-ache, Pain in the Stomach and Bowels, Nausea, Flatulency, Foul and Furred Tongue, Stupor, and other alarming or unpleasant symptoms. They are peculiarly adapted to persons of sedentary habits, whose confinement produces Dyspepsia. They contain no Mercurial preparation, may be used with per fect safety in ordinary eases of disordered stomach and bowels, and require no confinement. Being purely of vegetable compo•ition, they may be used, without hesita• tion, by either sex. They form a valuable FAMILY MEDICINE, and are decidedly preferable to those nau seous and drastic purgatives which are commonly used.

The Irish Church Reform which Lord AL THORP brought forward last night, is such as does infinite credit to the energy and foresight of Ministers. It is a liberal--a comprehensive measure ; liberal enough to extort the praise of Mr. O'CONNELL, and comprehensive enough to throw Sir R. INGLIs into paroxysms of asto nishment and indignation. That it goes so far as we would desire, we will not assert ; but it has at least this unquestionable recommendation, that it establishes a great principle in a bold, enlightened spirit, If it does not wholly re move a crying national grievance, it at least makes strait the way for such removal. It "scotches" the snake, if it does not absolutely " kill" it. For the minute details of the measure we re fer our readers to our Parliamentary report, where they will be found in full. The more leading features are— 1. The immediate and total abolition of Church cess. 2. The reduction of ten Bishoprics. 3. A general tax on all Bishoprics from sto 15 per cent. 4. An immediate tax on all Benefices from 5 to 15 per cent. 5. An abolition of all sinecure d'gnities, and appro priation of their revenues to a general fund, to be admini stered by a Board of Commissioners. 6. The sale of Bishops' lands, which will amount in the gross from two millions and a half to three millions, to be at the disposal of Parliament. Of the major part of these Reforms it is im possible to speak in too high terms. We must, how ever, say a few words on the proposed reduction of bishoprics. This portion of the measure, so far as it establishes the salutary principle, that ecclesiastical laws are henceforth in no wise to resemble those of the Aledes and Persians, but to be regulated according to the varying spirit and tendency of the times, is admirable. Still it has one defect. It does not go far enough. Twelve Protestant Bishops for the most Catholic country in Europe, constitute an Episcopal luxury which Ireland cannot possibly desire to indulge in. On this point, her ambi tion, we know, is bounded by her necessities, and those necessities imperatively call for a still further Episcopal curtailment. In no respect but this have we any ma terial objections to urge against the measure. It is bold. It is sagacious. Above all, it is in perfect keeping with the temper of the day. But when we say this, we say so only as regards its being a happy earnest of the future. We admire it as a temporary, not as a final, Reform. One special recommendation the measure possesses, which, in justice to its originators, we cannot too forcibly insist upon. By its liberal abolition of ecclesiastical sinecures, it in a great degree neutralizes the Church as an engine in the hands of an aristocracy. Henceforth we shall have few or no scions of English nobility, elevated, by virtue of their utter incapacity, to rich Irish pluralities. Such rewards will be be low par among the aristocratic classes. They will be reserved for the wise—the virtuous—the industrious, who will discharge the grave func tions of their office in a spirit of earnestness, not make-believe ; of humility, not ostentation. In proposing the reduction of the Irish Bishoprics, Lord ALTHORP, we observed, made not the 3lightest allusion to a proportionate re duction of those now sitting In the House of Lords. Our inference from this is, that hi s Lordship looks upon the mooting of such a pro position, just now, as superfluous, knowing well that, with or without his consent, the great, the important question of the ejection of the whole Episcopal Bench from the Upper House must shortly come before Parliament, and that, there fore, it is idle to make two bites of a cherry, when one gulp would suffice. We urge this ejection, as we always have urged it, in no disrespectful spirit to the Reverend Bench. We urge it simply and sincerely, because we are convinced that the junction of politics with religion is unbecoming the high spiritual character of our Episcopal dignitaries. The descendants of ST. PETER legislating in Parliament ! We are familiar with the anomaly, or assuredly it would strike us as most preposterous. Notwithstanding the Conservatives received such a check the other day at Worcester, they are still up and stirring, as active and unabashed as ever. Like accomplished pugilists, these men never know when they are beaten. Foiled in the west, they are now hard at work in the north. And, strange to say, they have succeeded. Yes, actually succeeded in imposing the nui sance of a Conservative club on the southern division of Lancashire ! On Thursday last, a preliminary meeting for this purpose was held at Newton. Of course, Mr. HULTON— who does not know Mr. HULTON, of Peterloo notoriety, and knowing, does not appreciate, as they deserve, his meek temper, his bland, se ductive eloquence, his liberal politics, and the grave, Solon-like sagacity of his magisterial character ?—of course, this Mr. HULTON, whose very name is a synonym for wisdom, as that of JOB for patience, was busy among the busiest, inter mille millesimus, at the meeting. Of his oratory we have no record, which we look on as a special public misfortune, like the missing books of TACITUS ; we can pretty well guess, however, that it must have been something surpassingly dazzling, if we may judge by the declaration, which, with the rest of his Conservative brethren, he caused to be drawn up, subscribed to, and published in all the local ultra journals. We shall venture a passing smile at this declaration, for it is an original in its way, like the intellects of those who signed it.—" We, whose names are here unto subscribed, declare our fixed determination to maintain the tried and ancient principles on which the Constitution of our country is found ed." Why, how is this, Mr. HULTON ? " Main tain the Constitution !" There is no Constitution left to maintain ! You yourself acknowledged that it was palsied by Emancipation, and fairly killed by Reform. By what process of logic, then, do you and yours propose to preserve that which has no longer an existence ? "We hold our selves pledged to resist all measures by which the deliberative powers of the Commons' House of Parliament may become fettered or controlled." " Deliberative powers," forsooth ! Why, we were always given to understand by the Con servatives that the " deliberative powers " of St. Stephen's were not only " fettered and " con trolled," but absolutely annihilated by Reform, and that this was their main objection to the "horrid" Bill ! Is it not so, Nlr. HULTON ? And were you not among the very first to give circulation to this distressing truth ? Possibly, however, you were inspired at the moment by that most statesmanlike figure of speech, which the expe rienced in political rhetoric entitle "rigmarole if so, who shall say that your eloquence in the present instance is not the result of the same in spiration ? But be that as it may, your Con servative club, Mr. HULTON, even though it may profess the undeniable advantage of your Presidency, will never do. We tell you so in the most perfect spirit of good humour, for we can readily afford to extend charity to those whom we have no longer cause to fear. Who now would do aught but smile at a Conserva tive ? Who would think of being awe-struck by his moral or political influence, even though both combined their terrors in a HULTON ? Our contemporary the Morning Chronicle states— " We hear that it is the intention of Government, in their Corporation Reform and Extension Scheme, to allow Corporate Officers to be elected for life. As this plan would materially lessen the responsibility of these civic dig nitaries, it will be resisted, we understand, by Mr. Ten nyson, who will move, as an amendment, that they be elected annually by the whole of the rate-payers in each town, pursuant to the notice of motion which the Right Hon. Gentleman gave last session." We trust and believe that the Chronicle is misinformed upon this point. We cannot imagine upon what principle his Majesty's Ministers would make such an innovation upon the almost only liberal principle of our municipal institutions, for it must be borne in mind that the Chief Magistrates of all our great Corporations are elected annually. It is useless to fight against a shadow, and we will only ob serve, that the towns which are to receive cor porate privileges, would be as little thankful for the boon, so limited, as the existing Corpora tions would be to have their annual servants transformed into life masters. Some two months back we noticed the first part of a letter by Mr. WEBB HALL, addressed to Lord MILTON, in the British Farmer's Magazine, on the subject of that Nobleman's at tack upon the Corn Laws, and it was our intention to have entered upon the subject at some length on the publication of the second part of the letter, but as the discussions in Parliament ap pear for the present likely to turn upon other matters, we must for a time content ourselves with a very brief notice of it. We have read Mr. WEBB HALL'S article most carefully, and adhere to the opinion we expressed upon the first part of it, viz., that it did not in the slightest degree shake the arguments of Lord MILTON, proving that the Corn Laws are injurious to the com munity at large, and of very little advantage to the farmer. We have repeatedly expressed our conviction that their ultimate effect must be to inflict a deep injury upon the farmer, and we have brought forward facts which incontrovertibly establish that position ; but still the cuckoo cry is repeated of their being a protection. One would think from the manner in which Mr. HALL and his friends defend the Corn Laws. that farmers have thriven under them, but the fact is, that ever since the first attempt of the landowners to limit the supply of corn, and thus create an artificial scarcity, for the purpose of obtaining high prices and high rents, the agri cultural interest has been headlong going to ruin. It is hard to convince a thief that honesty is the best policy, but every one except hitnsell can see that if he were to let people's purses alone, he would be able to make more as an honest man than as a rogue. But even suppos posing that he could not make so good a living in an honest way, those whom he plunders have every right to protect their pockets by tying up his hands. That the question will at last be put upon this, its true footing, there cannot be a doubt, for after all the sophistries Mr. HALL, or any one else, can advance upon the subject, the object of the landlords is to prevent, by any means, bread falling below a certain price, and, if the manufacturer could get for the produce of his labour enough food from abroad to support ten men, to compel him to take from them sufficient to support only himself. We merely wonder that during their hour of power the sellers of corn did not make it penal for wheat to be bought under such a price as they were pleased to say was necessary for their comfort. If the principle upon which they proceed be worth anything, it will surely carry them thus far. We had marked some score or two of pas sages for comment, but for the reason above stated, we shall only quote one or two. The first contains the grand argument of the mono. polists, the poser as they call it ; the second contains one of the many answers to it :—" If you should import corn from abroad, and throw your own agricultural labourers out of employ, what is to be done with them ?" We have put the substance rather than the exact words of the question ; but here is Mr. HALL'S answer verbatim, in page 20 :—" An individual is still able, upon millions of acres of our uncultivated soils, and millions more of unimproved ones, to produce, by his exertions, adequate supplies for his family and himself; with surplus to exchange for the clothing and conveniencies of life, and to do much more than this." If this be true, it affords an answer to the question, and we can only wonder at the stolidity of farmers in supporting from the poors' cess (at any rate for more than a year) so many individuals who could completely main tain themselves on land at present perfectly un profitable and unproductive. If it be not true, the arguments of those who advocate the enabling of men to get food at as cheap a rate as possible, and deprecate the cultivation of corn on rocks and heaths, unless the natural price will pay for the expense of doing so, are valid, and we are left to draw our own conclusions of the strength of that cause which requires to be bol stered up by assertions as inconsistent with com mon sense as they are ivi.h truth. Since writing the above, we are happy to see that Lord MILTON has given notice of his in tention to bring the subject of the Corn Laws before the House on the 20th instant. Mr. STANLEY'S speech last night in the House of Commons was just what might be expected from a gentleman of high honour and feeling. We have differed from him at times, but we cannot refuse to do jus tice to the spirit that dictated the closing observations of his speech, which drew forth the applause of Mr. O'CONNELL himself. Nothing new has occurred respecting the Bel gian question, which remains in a statu quo very disagreeable to the British and French Cabinets. The last note of the Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs did not contain a single proposal which could be accepted. We are sorry to state, that, although every preparatory arrangement has been made in France for the establishment of a daily communication by post between Paris and London, provided an agreement can be concluded between the Duke of RICHMOND and the French Post office, very little progress has been made in the negotiation. The Duke of RICHMOND if; wait ing for the answer of some of the merchants and bankers to whom he has applied for information as to the mode of arrangement which would best suit their interests. The chief difficulty is to know whether the payment of the postage should be optional with the parties sending the letters. The Director of the French Postes is desirous of making it voluntary ; but on this point the Duke of RictimoND declines coming to a de. cision, without further consideration. TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

THE FUNDS. The new Reform measure in the Church of Ireland ap pears to give great satisfaction in the City, as it is expected that it will have more weight in that country than the sending there of ten thousand troops. It has also had some effect on the Funds. Consols, which left off yesterday at 87 to 34 for the Account, opened at 87 3 , , ‘ i Y 2, since which there have been buyers at 8734. We are still without any information from Portugal. In the Foreign Market little doing, and the securities main tain yesterday's prices. HALF-PAST ONE. The Consol Market has not that bright appearance as in the early part of the morning, when they were at 87 34 for the Account; at present may be quoted 87% V 2, with little doing. The express from Paris, with the price of the French funds, has not as yet transpired. We have no political news of consequence.

This afternoon a very numerous and highly r e % p s meeting of the inhabitants of the populous and extensiv`o4 of St. Pancras, convened by the Churchwardens, at the re rg of the Vestry, and upon a requisition numerously and tr:d b:y signed by the rate-payer, was held in the large r°° ,. o 4 institution of the working classes (late Owen's) in n road, for the purpose of considering the propriety of t I r. :sd t' the Legislature to abolish the assessed taxes, rePeal ::r nial Act, and adopt the vote by ballot at all elect ions mentary representatives. The business of the meeting was appointed r to cora 12 o'clock, but the Chair was not t a k e n until 1 o'cl° ;or THOMAS RUSSELL, Esq.,senior Churchwarden'W"- NoTi c mously called upon to preside.

He trusted that ev ery disc should address them, be his sentiments in unison °' f3ir ante with the feeling of the meeting, would have ca nd id hearing. Mr. SCADDING, the Vestry-Clerk, read the request the Churchwardens, which had upwards of 1,0 55 affixed thereto. Mr. MURPHY then proposed the first resoluti°p9is speech which was received with the most enthusiastieLos The resolution was expressive of the regret and di 5314 ,, ipi of the meeting that no men ti on was ma d e i n the 1 01 ' i of the deep distresses and pri va ti ons w hi c h the Pe °2 : l -nslish 0 long patiently endured, nor any allu s i on therein stthi tion of taxation; and that the m ee ti ng con sidered t ` t iono sessed taxes are unjust in principle, partial in °P eri oso oppressive in execution ; that the expenses of th eir no l i cri ment and collection is excessive, and tending t ° n by system of patronage which the present Administratio presented it was their anxious wish to destroy.
