SUGDEN called theattiesiiii of the Noble Lord t , to the very objectionable Wordlist a me important a part of the Bill. As the clause now - wed, there were four different methods of ascertaining the fact of qualibeation— namely, assessment to the inhabited home duty at a yearly value of ten pounds, or rated es the relief of the poor—or ~ of the clear yearly value or liable to a root of ten pounds. Now he need not tell the !!fable Lord, or as; Hydrate, thow much diff.culty was Aso eoperiotoad at Quarter ' Ses sions in ascertainin g the pond of the *lee of a tenement for the purpose of aseemmett, aid bow much it was i n the power of the ow ner t W a g s eie booo to prove his tenement to be worth eine Or lets, imording to the object he wished to effect.

In the fourth case, where the tenant did not probably pay ten pounds, but where he c'aimed to have his house considered of the yearly value of ten pounds, there might be some necessity for inquiry ; but the cases of that kind would, he believed, he very few; and it was impossible, in fairness, to exclude those who had a house of much more than the value of ten pounds, hut who had perhaps, paid a fine to reduce the rent, from the privilege of voting granted to others. After a few words in explanation from Sit E. SeGUEN, and Lord Ammar. Mr. WILLIAM PEEL said, he considered the clause now under consideration at once the most important and the most objectionable of all the clauses in the Bill, and one which went more than any other to increase demo cratic influence in this country. The clause was intended to give a vote to all householders of 101. a year ; and the consequence would be, that in all tbe great commercial and manufacturing towns, the loatieholders of that kind would overwhelm all the other portions of the constituency. In the inland county towns, there might be one thousand houses, and perhaps not more than one hundred 101. houses among them ; but in the great commercial towns there were perhaps ten thousand houses, every one of which is rated at 101. a year. What would be the consequence of this? Why that the occupiers of the small houses would command all the influence of every election. Did they, therefore, suppose, that with such a constituency the Bill would put a stop to bribery, or improve the character of the representation? It was said, however, that the country called for this kind of Reform. He answered at once that it did riot ; and although they were told that there was a general:Call for it, and that it would satisfy all classes, be put it to the House whether it had not heard Reformers frequently declare that they would not be satisfied, and that they merely took this now in order that they might be able to command more hereafter ? They were told, h . thvever, that there was a miraculous unanimity on the question throughout the country. He denied that there was any such unanimity.---(Hear, hear.) He was satis fied,' on the contrary, that a great change had taken place On the subject. Could the Noble Lord opposite (Althorp) say there was this marvellous unanimity in Northampton. shire?—(Hear, hear)--or was it to be found in the late elections in Buckinghamshire, or Shropshire, or Wey mouth, or Great Gtimshy?—(Hear.) It was notorious that a number of the advocates of the Bill supported it, not because it was desired by the people, hut because they con sidered it the commencement of a series of revolutionary and democratic operations, which would terminate in the overthrow of all the established institutions of the country. —(Hear.) They were told, that if they rejected the Bill, the consequence would be civil war. He confessed he did not envy the feelings of those who had, roost unnecessarily, brought the country to such a crisis. He said most unne cessarily, for at the time the Government proposed their plan of Reform, all the various branches of public industry were prosperous, and the people both contented and happy. —(Hear, hear, and a slight laugh.) He was one of those prejudiced and narrow-minded people who thought that this plan of Reform, brought forth with so little reason and sis little necessity, would, if carried into effect, pro. duce the overthrow of all the institutions which were the object of their veneration and regard.—(Hear.) For this reason, because he thought the Bill neither gave security to any class nor freedom from future contention, he would oppose the clause then before the House, as one of the most dangerous and injurious which that Bill contained. Captain POLHILL read a list of towns and boroughs, the elective franchise in which, he contended, would be in juriously limited by the adoption of the clause as proposed by the Noble Lord. He, therefore, moved, as an amend ment, to fill up the blank, with the words " five pounds" instead of the words " ten pounds." Lord MILTON opposed the amendment proposed by the Hon. Member for Bedford. He supported the clause because it was an adherence to that ancient right of fran chise, the violation of which lie had complained of in other parts of the measure. By the clause the right of franchise was advantageously removed from the pay ment of parochial to the payment of national taxes. The Honourable Gentleman opposite wanted a uniformity of franchise. Now if there was anything which, in his (Lord Milton's) opinion, it was desirab'e to preserve, it was a variety of franchise. It was desirable that in some places the franchise should be extended al most to universal suffrage. That variety the clause would secure under a nominal uniformity. While human na ture was constituted as it now was, and as it ever had been, the poorer classes would be liable to be corrupted by the higher. The only guard against that corruption was, that where the poorer classes were numerous, they should vote in great numbers. He bad no such appre hensions from an extensive exercise of the franchise as were entertained by the Hon. Member. The Hon. Mem ber doubted if the feeling in favour of Reform were una nimous in the country. In answer to that observation, he would refer the Hon. Gentleman to the late election. Mr. C. RUSSELL (as we understood the lion. Gen tleman who spoke from under the gallery) doubted the possibility of ascertaining the real qualification required by the clause. Lord LOUGHBOROUGH thought that the clause would operate in a manner contrary to every principle of law and equity. The persons in the borough which he had the honour to represent, who lived in houses of 5/. a year, Were equal in property and re+pectability to the per• sons who at Hull (not above an hour's sail) lived in houses of 151. a year. The Bill would therefore work a mani fest injustice. Would it not be advisable to introduce a proviso that the qualification in all the boroughs in sche dule B should be Si. instead of 10/. ? In his opinion that would give a more fair and equal participation of the franchise. Mr. TREVOR said that if the proposi'ion ba,l been to raise the qualification from 10/. to 201. he would have supported it. He objected to the present clause, and ex pressed his opinion, derived from communications he had received, that the strong feeling in favour of the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, had been consider• ably altered. Mr. S. WORTLEY asked if the decision now to be made upon this important question, respecting the filling up with the words " ten pounds," was to be considered as final ? Lord ALTHORP replied, that it would be competent to any Member to propose the mention of any other sum. Mr. BERNAL explained, that the Hon. Member la boured under a mistake in supposing the decision respecting the larger sum would affect all smaller sums. It was only in the Committee of Supply that it was necessary to put the question respecting the smaller sum first. Captain POLHILL withdrew his amendment. The original question was then put, that the blank should be filled up with the words ten pounds, and carried. Captain POLHILL then moved, as an amendment, that an exception of the conferring of the 101. franchise should prevail with respect to all householders in schedule E. Lord ALTHORP objected to the amendment. The great object of the Bill was to extend the constituency as much as was consistent with the interests of the State. The persons renting 15/. houses in large towns for a period of twelve months must be men of industrious habits, and of intelligence, and therefore well qualified to:ewcise the elective franchise. Colonel DAVIES remarked, that the principle advocated by the Hon. Member for Bedford should he extended to many towns not included in schedule C, and he thought it would be well to propose it. Mr. HUNT said that that he would object most stre nuously to any rise in the franchise. It would create in finite dissatisfaction amongst the people. Mr. GILLON—I have hitherto purposely abstained from offering any remarks to the Committee, from a de sire to avoid any thing that might tend to delay, in any degree, the passing of this most important measure ; and because in the previous details much local information was required, with which lion. Members were so much more conversant than myself. On this, however, one of the most general and important provisions in the Bill, which marks out what shall be the future constituency of the cities of this kingdom, I beg to offer a few remarks; and I trust for that indulgence 1 so much require, from my inexperience in the forms and usages of the House. observe among the notices of motions a very great number which refer to this clause : some proposing that all resi dent freemen should permanently retain their right—some that non-resident freemen shoult retain them during life— some that there should be a scale of representation—and some that the right of voting should be extended to all paying taxes. Sir, on a prima . facie view of this provi sion, I own it did strike me that taking the 101. medium as a qualification to entitle to the elective franchise, it ought to have been higher in some of the large towns—as London, Manchester, &c., and that it should have been reduced even lower in some of the remote districts. In fact I thought that, for the sake of establishing uniformity in the right of voting, a scale of representation would have been der necessary. I have, however, had reason, on mature those ther i t o ti n o . n, ie t m o eb a : l fr t: i r ty di t o h ei ai iavv o ien p g i r n at i j o hse n ed , loa a w n n. d rob l cile t ae r s t ts t i s o t onf tl tv l o a o t tte a hr l es l i ß s il t l h o e n ir th r e ig seo hte, will yet see reason to support this clause. IR fact, the apparent or nomi na l uniformity of Y of voting establishes that variety i n franchise, that aentation of different classes and int eres t s , w hi ch I tiara% heard en warmly contended fot the other side of the House, I have nu doubt 1 shall be told by the Hon. Member fur Preston that his constituents—the potwallopper voters— are to be disfranchised, at least prospectively so, and I own the Bill does press a little hardly upon them. But what is thus lost on one ground is gained on another ; that is to say, that in some of the larger towns the franchise will descend very low in the scale—will reach all possessed of anything like property and respectability, and will at length approach to what is called universal suffrage. I rejoice sincerely at this, as I look on it as affording that vent for popular feeling so much desiderated, and properly, by gen tlemen on the other side, without which the Bill would be defective. We find at present, th it in the places where there is the largest constituency—where it most nearly approaches to universal suffrage, that the least corruption prevails. I may mention Westminster, the Borough, and Preston ; therefore, on every account, it is desirable that an infusion of this sort should be found in the Bill, both in order press the sentiments of a very large portion of the car unity, and for the very valuable Members who must be returned to this House. This varying of the no minally uniform scale will in other places operate in a ra ther exclusive manner ; and in those boroughs which are partly made tip of agricultural districts the cons•ituency will consist of what I may term the aristocratic part of the community, that is, it will consist of men very fir removed indeed from what will be termed the lower orders, of men closely connected with the landed interest, of men strongly interested in securing a permanency and stability for pro perty and the existing order of things. In fact they will consist of men as far from democratic in their views or pursuits as is consistent with anything like a full and free representation of the people. The ten-pound franchise generally will comprise the respectable and intelligent middle classes of society. It will give to them, now justly disgusted with the anomalies of our representation, with the impost of taxes, with the payment of which alone they have now to do—it will give to all these an inte rest and a desire to rally round the Throne and Constitu tion, and will induce them to look with an eye of venera tion upon institutions which they have perhaps been in clined to despise, from observing the many and glaring im perfections of our representative system. Sir, I cannot agree with those Hon. Members who have declared their anticipation that the great body of our countrymen are to become universally corrupt. I little envy the feelings or the hearts of those Hon. Gentlemen ; and I know not with whom they had their transactions, to form so bad an tstimate of human nature. But night after, night have I listened with indignation in this House td annunciations of this sort, and have heard the great body of my countrymen thus scandalously libelled. Sir, I think more highly of my countrymen than this ; and from the many magnanimous sacrifices I have seen nu merous classes of them ready to make to promote the suc cess of this great measure, from the enthusiasm and loyalty I have witnessed everywhere, I cannot believe that sordid motives will be the ones that are hereafter to regulate their conduct. But to pause one moment to show the incon sistency of the arguments used on the other side of the House. They have been loudly complaining that money and personal property will not be duly represented. They now turn round, and say that our new constituency are to be swayed solely by selfish and sordid motives. Surely, if it were so, which I say it is not, here would be a mode for money at least to be represented in this House. Perhaps they will tell us they would not condescend to such means to procure their return ; but I cannot believe that he who will give a sum to secure the right of sending here two nominees in defiance of the laws and the Constitution, will hesitate to offer to the frail the wages of corruption. Sir, this clause shall, for these reasons, have my warmest sup port ; and I fondly look to this Bill and to its provisions —I look to the time when we may fairly call ourselves the representatives of the people of this country, for that union among ourselves, and respect from without, so essential to our deliberations, but so long denied to this anomalous, and I fear it may be added corrupt assembly. Mr. WYNN considered this the most important, and the most objectionable part of the Bill. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. HODGSON proposed that tenants from year to year, who paid a rent of 201. a year for two tenements, should have a right of voting for the borough in which the tenement was situated. In consequence of the confusion which prevailed, the Hon. Member was understood not to press his motion, and on a question afterwards put to him on the subject, he said he never intended to press it to a division, but merely to introduce it to the notice of the Ministers. A long conversation then ensued as to the legal effect of the word " house" in the clause. The motion for filling up the blank with 10/. was then agreed to. On the motion of Lord Arsrrioisr, the Chairman re ported progress, and asked leave to sit again to-morrow (this day). Lord PALMERSTON requested an Hon. Member to postpone bis motion, which stood for to-morrow, until a future day. At present he could only grant half the pa pers required, but hereafter he might be in a condition to give the whole. Mr. COURTENAY consented to defer his motion until Tuesday. DUCHESS OF KENT'S ANNUITY. Lord ALTHORP moved the third reading of the Duchess of Kent's Annuity Bill. The Order of the Day having been read, Lord ALTHORP proposed an amendment, providing, that in case of the death of the Princess Victoria, only 1,000/. of the 10,000/. should be applied to the purposes of the Duchess of Kent, and that the remaining 6,0001. should revert to the public. The amendment was inserted by way of rider, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Orders of the Day were then gone through, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. LITERATURE. A MANUAL OF MEDICAL JURISPR U. DENCE. ONE VOL.—Lexpos, 1831. This is a very useful treatise on a subject little appreciated and less understood. It is a compilation, digested with evident care and skill, from the most approved legal and medical works, and comprises an account of the ethics of th e medical profession, of the charters and statutes relating to the faculty, and of all medico-legal questions, with the latest decisions upon them. The work is intended as a compendium for the use of Barristers, Solicitors, Alagistrates, Coro ners, and Medical Practitioners, and does credit to the research and diligence of its author, Dr. Ryan, who has made it a complete text-book. We extract the following passage from a neatly written preface, in which Dr. Ryan explains the main object of his publication : r "In exposing the absurd distinctions, the defective to of the laws relating to the profession, and the gross abuses of its constituted authorities, the love of freedom and of equality, with an ardent desire to promote the interests of his favourite science, and of humanity, have impelled him to declare the truth, however unpalatable that may be in certain quarters, or to the different orders of the faculty. His motto has been, amicus Socrates, amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas.' He has not been the advocate of any party, of any order, of any corporation, but the a - vocate of the whole profession. He has examined the whole of the charters and statutes relating to the practice of medicine in these countries, and has found Them defec tive, contradictory, oppressive, and, since the legislative Union between England, Scotland, and Ireland, highly unjust and impolitic. In proof of this statement, we have only to recollect the fact, that a Scotch physician, surgeon, or apothecary cannot legally practise in England; an Eng lish member of the faculty cannot practise in Ireland; and an Irish member can neither practise in England nor in Scotland. Such is the state of the law, which was just and right when the three countries were distinct na tions, but is unjust and preposterous since they have formed one united empire. The author has, therefore, considered that there never was a more auspicious period than the present for exposing the absurd state of the laws relating to the faculty in the United Kingdom, when the propriety of constitutional, ecclesiastical, and legal Re forms, is the subject of national discussion; and when me dical Reform is loudly demande , i by the whole profession, with the exception of the few sordid monopolists. It need scarcely be stated that the principles and practice of me dicine and therapeutical agents are identically the same in every part of these countries."

It will be about the size ola h alf - crown—notwith the faces ‘' kind and billing, Like Philip and Mary on a shilling," as the satirist has it—but WILLIAM will be on one side, and ADELAIDE on the other. Two thousand will be impressed on silver, and a fourth of that quantity on gold. Talents of the first order have been employed on this work. The models, from the hand of CHANTEY, are eminently beautiful ; that of the QUEEN was made in great haste ; the sculptor had to attend night and day at Windsor, to the neglect of all other commissions, till the head was completed. It then passed into the hands of Wvos, the medalist of the Mint, whose skill of touch and happiness in seizing character, may be seen on the late coinage, and on m my a fine medal.—Athenteunl. BRtGHTOX MURDER, (Extracted from the Brighton Guardian.) The woman Kennard, who is in custody touching the hor rible murder, was brought from the Lewes prison on Mon day, and underwent a second examination before the Ma gistrates at Brighton. She persists in asseverating her in nocence. The principal novelties in the examination are comprised in the following extracts : W. Gawen, a little boy, aged 11.—I live at No. Margaret-street ; I saw the head, arms, and legs of a hu man body taken out of the privy ; also the tickets of a bed and a part of a box ; a little fruit-box. (Witness could not speak positively as to the day.) 1 did not see Holloway on that day. I have seen Holloway walking with some one behind hint. Prisoner was coining down the street behind hint, carrying a box undi-r her ants. Holloway had a bag made of ticken. The bag that was taken out of the privy was a ticken bag. There appeared to be a box in the bag. There was an appearance as of a little blood on one corner. I mentioned it to Mr. Leaver's little boy. I said, I wonder what Master Goldsmith has got there—sheep's heads or what. Holloway was called Goldsmith. I knew prisoner very well. lam quite sure it was she who was following Goldsmith. I cannot re collect when it was. Prisoner—He speaks wrong to say that I went behind with a box. Are you confident that I was behind with a hox ? Witness—l am not quite sure. I saw Holloway with a bag ; that lam quite sure of. This was before they left Leaver's lodgings. I cannot recollect when they left. Ann Browne sworn—l live at 6, Margaret-street. Hol loway, called Goldsmith, lodged next door at Leaver's. I saw him carrying a sack on his back the week before he left his lodgings. He brought it into the yard past my back-door into his house. He then took it away as h e brought it. There was something in it that seemed bulky. He carried it on his back towards the chain pier. I went to my parlour window and saw him take it down the street, and then turn and come up. He first went towards the sea, and then to St. James's-street. I saw him carrying a box two or three times the size of that taken out of the privy. I saw that box; there was reading on it. Some body said it was French. I could not see to read it, be - cause I had not my spectacles. This was the week before they left Margaret-street. They left Leaver's on Friday. I can't tell what the bag was made of. It was of a dark dirty looking colour. I never saw any thing of the prisoner. Matilda Johnson sworn—l live at No. 6, Margaret street. I saw Holloway going backwards and forwards with a sack upon his shoulders. It was bulky. Ido not remember to have seen this more than once. He came down the street. He went to the back-door, and •in a minute or two he returned with prisoner. They went up the street, and stopped and spoke softly to each other, whispering. This was a house or two off. They then parted a few steps, met again, and ►poke as before. Prisoner followed Holloway at the time he carried the sack. She was remanded back to Lewes, to be brought up for a third examination on Thursday week. Two pet sons, named White, alias Jenkins, and John Carver. were after wards examined on suspicion of being concerned in the murder. They had lived in the house No. 11, i❑ Donkey row, after Holloway left it ; and when asked of whom they took it, they said of Mrs. Taylor, the landlady, which was proved to be false, and there is no doubt they took it of Holloway, and afterwards let it to Mrs. Humphreys. The Magistrates knowing the prioners to be bad characters, though they were not seen at the house till a week after the murder, thought proper to detain them further, and they were remanded. Observing the seal of secrecy which the authorities have thought proper to put for the present on the confes sion, we are only justified in informing our readers that Holloway fully admits the crime, and that he perpetrated the murder in Donkey-row. " I strangled her,—l did it with my own hands,"—were, we believe, the wretched man's words ; and our letters from Horsham tell us that at this interval the prisoner, while these words were being transcribed, burst forth i❑ an involuntary expression of mental agony—" Oh never, never shall I forget that look, that supplicating look." He raised his hands, and shook with horror. During the confession, lie was at times in coherent, suddenly bursting out in rhapsodies. Water was administered to him several times during the dread ful narrative; but he appeared greatly relieved by the dis closure. When the document comes to be m ide public, we are led to believe that the story about the " bread and cheese knife" will be found to be incorrect. There are various stories afloat, tending to fix guilt on those sus pected of being accessaries. We decline publishing them from motives to evident to need explanation. What is given in evidence we feel bound to report ; but it were cruel to spread criminative rumour, thus instilling a pre judice into the mind of the public from which a jury will be taken to decide the awful question of life and death. HOLLOWAY'S CONFESSION. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE TIMES. Silt,— Having just read in your journal of yesterday a long paragraph, purporting to be the confession* of John Holloway, lately committed to the prison in this town for the murder of his wife, I beg to call your attention to facts, and to inform yon that the author (it will lie no breach of charity to say the inventor) of that report has given cii . culation to the greatest falsehoods. Correct in nothing further than the circumstance of a confession having been made before the Magistrates he has named, and the Rev. Dr. Everard, of Brighton, the details lie has pretended to give of that confession are moat untrue. He states that Holloway was the only unaffected person present, and that he tol l the horrid talc of the murder with perfect indif ference, and mentioned the mutilation of the body with his bread and cheese knife as coolly as he would have spoken of the dismemberment of a sheep. This is pure fiction. I was present at the confession, and though I am not at liberty to disclose it circumstantially, I may truly say that of all the awful and distressing scenes I ever wit nessed (and it has been my lot to witness many), the confession of this wretched man far exceeded them.— That he began his statement with calmness is true, but it was what no one who looked on him could mistake for that of indifference. Such, indeed, as it was, it continued only through the relation of his first acquaintance with the murdered woman, his subsequent marriage to her, and hi. quarrels with her friends. When his remarks approached the scene of the murder his calmness altogether deserted hint; long, long was it before he could pronounce the dreadful words which recorded his guilt, and in the mean time his cries, yea, almost his shrieks for the mercy of God upon his soul, were most horrible, most appalling. One of the magistrates was so overcome as to be obliged to leave the room, and if the prisoner had not been supplied with a draught of water he would apparently have fainted. We have read, Sir, of the agonies of the rack, but who shall describe the agonies of remorse ? I witnessed them, then, and never, never, shall I forget them,—those agonies which I may literally say, amidst weeping and wailing, anti gnashing of teeth, drove the wretched culprit to sign his own death.warrant, by unburdening a con science which would not let hint rest day or night. No, Sir, though his groans still vibrate in my ears, I cannot do justice to the agonies of his remorse. But the mischief of such a report as has found its way into your paper, and thence into the minds of thou sands, perhaps I may say millions, of human beings, consists iu this—that it is calculated to harden the heart, and to deprive the public of the great moral lesson which the truth, in the instance of this unhappy criminal, must bring home to the bosom of every man. It teaches us, Sir, that God does not leave himself without Witn,ss in the hearts of the worst critnina's that ever died in obedience to the laws ; that the Almighty will vindicate his laws even by the mouths of those who have most awfully violated them ; and that there is a f a t u ity i n fli c t e d u p on th e p e rpetrators of grievous crimes, which nothing but the superintending providence of an omniscient anti all-powerful Being can account for, and which is sure, sooner or later, to brine about detection. This is the lesson which Holloway's conduct in surrendering himself into the hands of justice, and in his subsequent confession, must teach, anti it ought not to sacrificed to the vicious appetite for unreal horrors, which would paint human nature more God-deserted than it really is. My own reflections, Sir, after the dreadful scene of Saturday, assumed the shape of Scripture, and I could not help exclaiming when I thought of those who were present, " And all men that see it shall say, this hath God done, for they shall perceive that it is his work." Horsham, Aug. 23. R. W. • The article was copied, as we stated at the time, from the Observer. Yesterday morning the wife of GEORGE DixoN, a watchman at the Excise-office, was found drowned in a cistern. She lived with her husband and child at the office, part of which was under her care. She had shown no symptoms of aberration of mind previously which her husband could notice. On Tuesday her husband went home to bed at twelve o'clock, and she observed to him that he was late. Between four and live o'clock in the mottling the son missed his mother from the bed and told his father, who, after a little while, got up and searched the house, and after the lapse of a considerable time at last found her in the cistern dead. A stool was close to the cistern. No one could yesterday guess at any cause. Except she walked in her sleep her death could not be attributed to accident, for she did not go to the express is said, some be held surpri se to.ing a t at h ,,, - . cistern to fill any v essel .

By this means tu A e ie ' got low, and the steam power consequently d nished so much as to have very little effect ti' pelling the vessel, whose progress now did o t i , ceed one mile an hour. Indeed, we were inf o ' by some of the survivors that about ten minut ° Jl: fore the vessel struck, the motion of the P sd o ceased entirely for about five minutes, and then on again. t At midnight, by the testimony of the man A - wheel, the vessel had got far enough to w indo r , the sand called the Dutchman's Bank, and ab of the tower on Priestholm Island, when, ovrilt , the temporary stoppage of the engine, she lost %1,. at which time she was labouring heavily and 06 ,,, much water.
