FRENCH PAPERS. THE KING'S ORDINANCE. " Louis Philippe, King of the French, to all pre sent and to come greeting. Being desirous of re• Warding in a becoming manner Lieutenant• Generals Count Clause! and Count Lobau, for their eminent serrices and notwithstanding the ordinances of th e 24 of August, 1818, and the 24th of May, 1829, are in this instance departed from, it is not intended to farm a precedent. " Upon the report of our Minister the Secretary of State for the War Department, we have ordained and ordain the following Art. 1. Lieutenant-General Count Clause] (Bertrand ) and Count de Lobau (Georges) are raised to the dignify of Marshals of France. Art. 2. Our Minister the Secretary of State for the War Department is charged with the duty of Putting the above ordinance into immediateexecution. " Duke de DALMATIA, Minister of War. Par 6, July 30." The following letter was addret,sed to Count Lo 115U by the King on the evening of the g ran d review : " Friday Evening, July 29. " I beg you, my dear General, to express on my Part to the National Guard of Paris, and that dis trict, that I was highly gratified with seeing them 'a such excellent order, and to convey to them with ' w hat feelings of gratification I witnessed the Riorious anniversary of the triumph of our laws and liberties; and that I feel both proud and happy to „enjoy the affection of my people, so strongly mani fested during the three days, by the lively expres sion of which my heart was filled with the most tender emotions. " It is always with pleasure, m y d ear G enera l , th at I employ, as the medium of communication with the National Guard, one who so worthily corn- Inands it, and so well knows how to app rec i a t e i ts ger-vices. " Sincer e ly y our ' s , " LOUIS PHILIPPE." The following letter gives a few new details on the affairs of Portugal " On board the Suflicn, off Lisbon, July 15.

( htl official journal of this evening will publish at Lis- on the triumph of France. You may probably think that the Constitution 134"ts, who declared they expected nothing short of at' landing for the purpose of hurling the tyrant the throne, rose cm masse, and made some mo vements in sight of the tri-coloured flag.

PARIS, JULY 30.—A l et t er f rom B er li n h as ju st been communicated to us, which gives details of the oper at i ons of the Russian and Polish armies to the 21s t i of thi s month. On t h e 20t h a part o f t h e Russian army was on the left bank of the Vistula. These troops had occupied several villages. It was not till the 21st that the corps began its touch towards Warsaw At the same time the Corp s of Generals Rudiger, Krutz, arid Rosen, an effective force of 42,000 men, had also received orders to approach the capital on the right bank. All these movements could not be effected before the 25th. The army of Count Tolstoi, forming the reserve, and amounting to 55,000 men, was to be at tomza on the 23d, coming from Lithuania. From these details it appears that there could not be a battle between those corps and the (Polish) Corn 'l-Lander-in-Chief before the 25th of this month. It IN:as 4 ' lthe forree impossible that the result cou ld b e oWn at P e on the 29th. (From the Moniteur of Sunday.)

Last night " the 13ill" made some progress through the Committee, though its pace was slow and its march interrupted. Totness and Sudbury, which had enjoyed a respite of two days beyond their com panions in schedule B, were finally consigned to their proper class—the latter after a ❑seless division. The whole of the boroughs in schedule B, as well as those in schedule A, are now disposed of; and the Anti-Wformers, like unwilling scholars, have been carried forward to the third letter of the Reform alphabet. We heard some days ago of the Paganinis of the House harping upon one string, and occupying Cie time of P,urlatnent and of the country with less agreeable notes than those of their Italian namesake. Some of them may have read of a celebrated at:clew musician, who was as great in his day as l'aganini is in ours, and whose movements we expect them to imitate. Of this celebrated ancient Paganini "it is said or sung"— " Sape velut qui " Carrebat fugiens hostein ; perseepe velut qui " Junonis sacra ferret --" The processional march, with the sacra Janonis, or, in other words, the funeral procession of the rot ten boroughs, has been slow, if not solemn enough; ler us now hope that our great Parliamen'ary artist: will indulge in their more rapid paces, in their run ning caprice. If we could expect any consistent system for such persons, we should be entitled to calculate on this result. They resisted the total or partial disfranchisement of the condemned boroughs, because they considered this part of the Bill as an infliction of pains and penalties, " or a corporation robbery," or something else equally alarming to the imagination ; but they have now a more cheerful and safe task. They have now not to take away privileges, but to give them, not to perpetrate " a robbery," but to confer a favour. Last night the House entered on this more grateful duty, and en franchised three of our great manufacturing towns — Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds,—which, on any sound principle of represemation, ought long ago to have sent Members to Parliament, possessing, as they do, more wealth, population, and industry, than all the hundred and odd places in the two sche dules, over which the boroughmongers have made such doleful lamentations.—Times. Lord Althorp, at a meeting of the friends of Ministers yesterday, made some propositions which, if cordially accepted and adhered to by the advo cates of the "Bill," must have a favoutable effect in abridging its passage through the House of Com mons, as likewise in fixing on the proper shoulders whatever delays or vexatious obstructions it may meet with. His Lordship recommended to the gentlemen who support the measure, that such of them as have given notices of motions, or who merely meditate them, having for their design some partial changes in the provisions of the Bill, by way of rendering its details what they consider more perfect, should withdraw such motions, or forbear to act upon such views, for the sake of leaving the progress of the measure uninterrupted, and of sending it up to the House of Lords with the utmost practicable expedition. It is, indeed, a most urgent duty to frustrate as effectually as may be the scheme of procrastination, which is the only one whence the Tories can flatter themselves with the least hope of success. An error of detail may be easily rectified hereafter; but a defeat of the Bill, or a long delay of it, is irretrievable. Sure we are, that a knowledge of the state of this country, and of the pitch of determination to which the mind of the whole British people has been wound up, would operate, even upon the least sane of the Tories, as a complete extinguisher of all their ma noeuvrings for delay. There never has been a ques• tioa on which the reason of Englishmen was so set tled, or their solicitude so excited; and if any faction were by trick or obstinacy to impede the course of Reform, we exaggerate nothing in asserting that a collision—nay, that it would be inexact to say, of forces so unequal, but a reaction—of the most over whelming kind would unquestio na bl y an d spee dil y follow. In the mean time it is satisfactory to find that the courage of Ministers is on a level with their glorious task. Lord Althorp is reported to have used these remarkable expressions with regard to the degree of success which is likely to attend the Tory policy :—" He begged it to be under stood that the enemie,s of Reform were most miserably mistaken, if they hoped to defeat the Bill by delay. They might originate discussions from day to day, and throw obstacles in the way of the Bill ; but of this they might all rest assured—that rather than abandon the Bill, Parliament would be kept sitting until next December, or next December twelve month, if necessary." " That's wormwood 1" Sir Francis Burdett concurred in the necessity of giving up individual views of amendment for the sake of not impeding the general progress of the Bill ; b ut Lord Milton stated as an objection, that " the Bill ought to be made as perfect as possible for the sake of rendering it final." But the general sense of th e meeting was warmly expressed in favour of Lord Althorp's wish, which we hope and trust will be perseveringly realized. If something of the kind be not done, the measure may not reach the House of Lords before Christmas. A message from his Ma jesty was last night brought down to Parliament, recommending an increased provision for the Duchess of Kent and her daughter; who had hitherto, it is understood, been indebted for a part of the comforts required by their station to Prince Leopold. The Prince having no longer any command of English money, this message will doubtless be regarded as a thing of course, and more especially when it is recollected that an income of 6,000/. per annum was many years ago granted to the Duke of Cumberland, expressly for the educa tion of his son, a Prince two steps further from the throne than is the Princess Victoria; and not of a ' branch of the Royal Family, as we have heard, dis tinguished by any superior claims to public esteem or consideration. It will be seen that the meeting of the Livery, which had been intended for the lour pose of stigmatizing the factious opposition to the Bill, has been pdstponed, principally because of the progress which has been made with the measure since the first suggestion of the expediency of such meetings. A resolution, however, has been passed, which is to stand over in terrorein, should the bo roughmongers be caught at their manoeuvres again. Measures like the above are strictly but defensive, against that audacious system of mock representation which it isthe aim of the Tories to perpetuate against the people of England.—Tithes. Schedule B is at length disposed of. Mr. Alex. Baring re-produced, with a slight variation, the doc trine of Mr. Attwood, that the Reform would have the effect of introducing to the House active, intel ligent, andspushing men, who would be an over match for the country 'Squires. "He assured the gentlemen connected with what was called die country interest, that if, in supporting this measure of the Ministers, they supposed that a few 'Squires from the country would be able (when the day of battle should come) to contend with the active, in telligent, pushing men, who would be returned from the manufacturing towns, they would be sadly dis appointed.—(Cheers.) He said this only to call the attention of the country gentlemen to what would be the consequences of the altered state of the representation.—(Cheers.) The gentlemen who would be returned from the manufacturing dis tricts would be active men, who read every paper which should come into that House; and could the country gentlemen suppose that in contending with such men they would not be overmatched. — (Cheers.) Against such a representation the country interest could ha ven° c h ance o f ma i nta i n i ng i tse lf ; an d he would ask,how was the Church,thtn, to be support ed ag a i nst t h e N o bl e P aymaster ' s f r i ends— (Cheers. ) , This is truly a strange way of arguing the question. No man would think of supporting the country in terest and supporting the Church, who is not egre giously lazy and stupid, and does not read any of the papers which come into the House. If he is active and clever, and a reader of papers, he will assuredly be opposed to the country interest and to the Church ; and where stupidity and laziness tat , opposed to leverness and activity, the result cat.- ~ Nt ~ ' ~ • nit be doubtful. Keep the few clever art] active men out of the House if you wish to maintain your ,round. The real motive for the limitation of the choice of electers to candidates possessed of a cer tain amount of annual income, was to do that in directly which could not have been so well done otherwise: namely, to ensure the return of the most stupid and lazy men in the nation. At ane 'her time the Tory 'Squires would not have much relished the complaint of Mr. Baring ; but they will even submit to be kicked by a man who beats them as little better than idiots, for the sake Of the pillage of the nation. They cheered him. They declared by their approbation that the cap fitted them admirably. But if there be any truth in theargument of Mr. Baring, i what a handle he furnishes to the people Of E ,gland to oppose themselves to the Aristocracy. He declares to them that no man possessed of energy and application, and who attends "to the business before the House, would vote as the country 'Squires vote. He declares. that no man of talents aniuld support the Church; and that the Aristo cr cy and Church only exist, because clever and industrious men are excluded from the House. But why are clever and active men to be necessarily opposed to the country interest end the Church ? Mr. Baring here lets the cat out of the bag. Before he was so extensive a landholder as he now is, he was the g reat opponent of the country gentlemen, and declared, when opposing the Corn Bill, that they lived in a style which no landholders could maintain in any other country, at the expence of the people, whom they taxed unmercifully to increase their rents. Mr. Baring evidently shows that he has retained the opinions, for maintaining which he was hooted at the time by the country 'squires, but that it is no longer convenient for him to urge them, though he is satisfied that they can only not be victorious in the House, by confining the repre sentation to noodles and sluggards. There is in all this something so monstrously impudent, that we question if, in the whole history of the world, there is an instance of men using an argument which involves such a marked insult to a nation. By holding out in this manner to the people the higher ranks as their inveterate enemies, do they not do all they can to make the people enemies to the higher ranks ? Mr. Stanley exposed the absurdity of Mr. Baring's ar gument. He vindicated the country gentlemen from the charge of want of intelligence and want of activity, " and felt perfectly assured that those who came from the barley field, as it had bean stated, would not be overpowered by those who came from the coal field ; and were those to be blamed for doing that in the House which they were expressly ! sent to do ?—Were they to be blamed because they formed a class of men who would know what was going forward in that House ? It would seem that his Hon. Friend wished 'to have the agricultural Members so circumstanced that they might come down to the House for an hour or two, then go to dinner, to an evening party, or where they pleased, and in the latter end of the evening give such time or attention to their Parliamentary duties as might suit their convenience : but was such known from experience to be the conduct of the country gen tlemen, or ought it to be their conduct ? Was it to be accepted as a sound argument in a discussion like the present, that there should be two Members from the barley-field for one from the coal-field, that they might relieve each other, and take the work in turns of opposing the Members from the towns? This is forcibly put. There is no doubt, we be- • iieve, that the House of Commons, ill times past, has too often been a lounging-place for men of rank, where they might pass •an hour when not more agreeably engaged. That with a Parliament really accountable to a constituency identified with the people, such a state of things can be tolerated, we do not believe. Members will go into Parliament with the knowledge that it will be no longer safe to evade the duty they undertook to discharge. But the necessity for assiduity imposed on men of rank and property will be a benefit to them rather than an injury. Rich men possess one advantage over men who are without fortune, that they have leisure for the public business; and the change produced by the Reform Bill will not be so much the throw ing into Parliament men from another class, as the improving class which now has nearly the monopoly of the representation. Having disposed of the dis franchising clauses, the Committee entered on sche dule C, all the places in which are to have two Mem bers. Manchester and its environs, Birmingham and its environs, Leeds and its environs, obtained respectively their two Members. Sir Robert Peel separated himself fairly last night from the Anti-Re formers, and justified the course pursued by Ministers. " Looking (he said) at all the circumstances of the country, at what had taken place previous to the dissolu tion, at the difficulty of constituting any Government not prepared to concede the principle of Reform, he had to state, that, acting for himself, and not in concert with others—forming his own judgment—he for one, having yielded his own opinion in deference to the majority of the House—looking, he said, to all the circumstances of the country, to the formation of a Government, the per haps necessary formation of a Government pledged to ReforM, he had stated at an earlier period, that rather than hazard the displacing of the Government, not seeing how any Government could be formed hostile to Reform, he had professed himself ready to consider the question of letting Reform, a nd what Reform should be granted.—(Hear, hear.) As a Member of the Government, though he did not object to enfranch is e sin g l e t owns , he was afraid of loose the question of Reform, and would have been satisfied with a more limited enfranchisement than that now proposed. Be was at the same time aware, that such a limited enfranchisement proposed by the late Go vernment, professing itself hostile to Reform, would not have satisfied the people, and would not have been a per manent me asure.—(hear, hear.)" If a G o vernment could dot be formed hOstile to Reform, and if a limited enfranchisement would not have satisfied the people, and would not have been a permanent measure, then Ministers are justi lied in not only proposing. Reform, but such a Re form as would alone satisfy the people and be per manent. How long Sir Robert will remain of this rational opinion, or rather how long he will continue to support this opinion, is a question which we will not pretentl to answer. It is, no doubt, difficult to please all parties; but Sir Robert will please none by o h t e h e s r a . m — e veer He ne‘ i v tg : h a o t 7v u e t v:r r , " defZ e ds ex ß tre e m for e m to oti an t grounds he urged for emancipation—invincible ne cessity.—Morning Chronicle. Tie anxious interest which the Duke of Welling ton and his political friends appear to take in the fate of Portugal would do them great credit if they were actuated by the generous motive of a faithful adherence to an " ancient ally" in adversity; but s urely the Noble Duke and his partisans must pre sume upon a very gross degree of stupidity or igno rance in the people of this country to make it pos sible for them to mistake the interests of the usurper for those of the nation on whose rights he tramples, a nd to confound the claims of Don Miguel with the cause of Portugal. There is no doubt that Portugal is one of the most ancient allies of this country, if not the most faithful. Before the era of Cromwell our commerce and connection enjoyed certain privi leges from the GOvernment of that State, by the grace and favour of its Kings. In the Protectorate of Cromwell our alliance with Portugal was more closely drawn, and the commercial advantages which we enjoyed more accurately defined by the treaty into which that great politician and suc cessful negotiator entered with John IV. Sub sequently the marriage of Charles 11. with the Infanta Catherine, by which the Crown of Eng land first became possessed of Bombay in the East Indies, made the connection still more inti mate; and the treaty of Queen Anne with Pedro 11., by which mutual advantages were stipulated on each side —o n the one, for British woollens, and on the °dim, for Portuguese wines, completed the con• nection which had subsisted with but very little in terruption to the moment when Don IVliguel, in violation of his solemn oath, and of every principle of morality and justice, overturned the Constitution which he had pledged himself to protect, and stole the diadem which had been placed with him in trust. If that Constitution had remained urisub vetted, and the Crown of Portugal had been placed -- Ttc 4 0 41 upon the bro‘is to which it rightfully belonged, we ask if the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, and others of that class of Statesmen, would have expressed the same tender sympathies which they now affect to feel for the fate of Portu ,.:al, or allude, in the language of pathetic interest, to our treaties with our ancient all ?" A n d y et who has been the cause of the most serious interrup. pion which that connection with Portugal ever re ' reived ?—Don Minuet. Who has annoyed arid op pres:ecl the subjects of England, contrary to the let ter and the spirit of those treat;e, of which sr , much is said ?—Don Miguel. Who has given the most vexatious hindrance to British commerce, and r p-Atedly insulted the flag of the mistress of the seas ?—Don Miguel. Yes, this insensate and trucu lent usurper has severed, as far as in him lay, the long-established connection between the too countries. But the people of Portugal are not an siverable for his frantic follies. To chastise the tyrant is not to make war upon the people whom he oppresses. The day which would hurl him from the throne which, by fraud and perjury, he has as cended—the day which would dash from his hand the sceptre which he has dyed in the blood of his subjects, would be a day of rejoicing and deliverance to Portugal. Can we forget that there was a time , lien the Duke of Wellington himself introduced Donna Maria at the British Court as the Queen of Portugal? Can we forget that, by his advice, as responsible Minister of the Crown, she was so re ro4nised by his late Majesty George IV ? If, on tills subject, the Duke of %Wellington has abandoned consistency and forgotten justice, the people of Eng land have not.—Morning Herald. CONDUCDOF THE MEMBERS OPPOSED TO THE REFORM BILL. Yesterday a meeting of several of the Livery, who signed the requisition to the Lord Mayor to call a Common Hall, to consider the proprie•y of denouncing the conduct of the Opposition in the House of Commons, and of petitioning the House against the delay in passing the Reform Bill, took place at the Guildhall Cof f ee-house. The object of the meeting was to discuss the expediency of perse vering in the intention to assemble the Livery on the occasion. Mr. FEAroN was called to the Chair. Mr. GALLOWAY was, he said, one of those who had signed the requisition to the Lord Mayor, in consequence of the injurious delay in passing the Bill, under the impression that the strongly-ex- pressed disappiobation of the people would remedy the evil. The CHAIRMAN thought it necessary to state that he had, on the day before, on London-bridge, had a conversation with several Members of Parliament on the subject of the intention of the Livery to as semble for the purpose alluded to. The general impression amongst them (and they were staunch friends to the Bill) was, that if, when appearances to throw impediments in the way of the measure were first discovered, a Common Hall had been sum moned, a good effect would, doubtlessly, have been produced. But they thought that the most im portant schedules were now nearly disposed of, and that, in all probability, if the boroughs had been put together in a lump, they would not have been got rid of sooner than had been the case, as certain forms were considered indispensable in the House. The fear was that, if any other course had been adopted, topics of irritation would be increased, and further causes of procrastination would be the theme of discussion. Under such circumstances they were of opinion that the Bill would, within three weeks, pass through the Commons, as the Oppo sition was worn quite threadbare, and grew more and more tiresome and ridiculous. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR a fortnight or three ►weeks ago felt convinced that the country must express itself on the subject, particularly after the night on which the Opposition had ►worried the patience of all honest men by dividing so frequently ; and he had spoken to several about the necessity of calling the Livery together. It appeared, however, to be the feeling of those whom he addressed that he should wait some time longer; now, however, the tone was changed, and he was told that they had waited too long. He thought that the meeting might be held without the hazard of throwing any censure, by implication, upon his Majesty's Mini sit ers, in whose motives he had the most unshaken confidence. He thought it of great importance that the people would not be obliged to hide or to mys tify their strong indignation. The forms of the House, and the etiquette ►which at all times reigned there, prevented the members of his Majesty's Go vernment from using terms of adequate disgust at the base conduct of the Opposition ; but the Livery would not think it expedient to stick to Parliamen tary phraseology; the Livery ►would, he thought, use language less fastidious.—(A laugh.) The Press had spoken out with great power and spirit ; hut ►what did Sir Robert Peel say upon finding that the Press had exercised its privileges ? He denied that the Press communicated the sentiments of the people, and spoke of the spirit of journalism with which the Government was, according to his description, af fected. Now it was his (Mr. Taylor's) wish to show that the Press spoke the language of the po pulation, and that those ►who denied that fact spoke arrant falsehoods. He wished to show that Reform was not, as that factious and ►wretched set of bo roughmongers described it to be, a cry raised by Ministers to keep them in their places, but that it was a measure which the people were determined to accomplish, and would, with the aid of Government, no doubt accomplish. He approved of a latitude of discussion; but discussion had long been at an end on that question. Obstruction was the word, anti not discussion. The enemies of the Bill ►were con stantly engaged in petty villanous quibbling. They resembled those low attorneys who constituted the vermin of the law, and who availed themselves of technicalities to smother the operations of justice. ASHURST thought the meeting was bound at least to express their determination to support his Majesty's Ministers in the most powerful and de cisive manner. Mr HEVERS (of Bishopsgate) thought it would not be advisable to hold the Common Hall, as had been proposed, on Wednesday. Ministers had been in his opinion, tardy, but they had explained their reasons for the course they had adopted, and many thought that they could not have done better than by pursuing that course. He thought it would be advisable not to meet on Wednesday, but to draw up some resolutions stating the ground of the post ponement. They ought to wait till they could ascertain whether the Opposition was to be carried on in the same odious spirit which had distinguished it, or whether it was not nearly at an end. He then moved that they should draw up resolutions on the subject. Mr. LEDGER seconded the motion. Mr. WILLIAMS, of Wading-street, stated the delay in the Bill was of extensive injury to trade. Who could enter into engagements, when it was known hat multitudes had determined, if the Bill did not pass, not to pay any more taxes ?—(Hear, hear.) There were other alarming circumstances connected with the delay. After a few words from Mr. DILLON, of Fore street, Mr. GALLOWAY, Mr. PRITCHARD, &c., the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:— " That, in consequence . of the progress made in the Committee of the House of Commons since the signing of the requisition to the Lord Mayor, particularly on Satur day last, when the di•qualifying clauses were neai!y ter mirated, and from the fear that the proceedings of any public meeting might, by those engaged in the present factious and unprincipled opposition to the measure, be used as a new means of causing a frivolous and vexatious delay, this meeting withdraw their requisition for the pre sent, and express their desire that a Common Hall should not immediately be held. And that the Liverymen now assembled do torus themselves into a Committee, with power to add to their numbers, and that such Committee do meet again on Monday next, or earlier if expedient, to consider whether it will be then necessary to adopt any and what measures regarding the passing of the Reform Bill." 'NV THE REFORM BILL. A numerous and respectable meeting of the in tuthitant householders of Chatham arid Strood was held at the Sun Tavern, Chatham, on Saturday .verting last, to adopt such measures as might be deemed expedient to counteract any attempt made t t e n s t t e t r h , e c a , n qt e a x i nation of n Ka in, Chatham mand i n the StroodChair, j who explaimed the object of the meeting, and stated it had been convened at the recommendation of Mr. • Hodges. Mr. ROBER'nON regretted that the Corporation of Rochester had attempted to throw the apple of dis cord on a measure calculated to unite the thee towns of Chatham, Rochester, and Strood in one bond of union, harmony, and interest. He then idverted to a memorial ° presented by them to Earl G ey, in which they stated that the city was very ancient ; so (said Mr. R.) are Old Sarum and G itton, and yet in those places that plea did not operate to prevent improvement ; they further stated that the influence of the citizens of Rochester would be extinguished by the overwhelming majority of votes in the parish of Chatham ; but, he would ask, of what do we want to deprive Rochester ? Not, surely, of its franchise ; but we wish, by increasing the number of votes, to create independence, and to make it impossible t hat the Corporation can any longer say to a tradesman of Rochester, " You shall not prosper in your business without being one of us." Further, these Corporators say, that by the annexa tion of the three towns, they will be disgraced and degraded with corrupt boroughs. Now, they did not feel any disgrace in reeeivingltaxes from Chat ham, and returning them as coming from the port of Rochester ! They talked, toe, of corrupt bo roughs ; he Nv otild ask, did not the last contested s'iction for Rochester cost 12,000/. ?—(Cheers)— and did not the Sheerness voters cost Mr. Bernal 20/. and Lord Villiers 18/. per man ? Therefore, instead of schedule B, Rochester ought to have been placed in schedule A.—(Cheers.) In conclu sion, Mr. Robertson said, that the parishes of Chat ham and Strood, containing more than double the population of Rochester, paying a much greater amount of taxation, and having the same interest at heart, had decidedly a right to share with that city in the elective franchise. He then proposed a reso lution to the effect that it was necessary to present a petition to the House of Commons on the subject, which was seconded by Mr. ATIoNsoN. Mr. NEwsoN, as a freeman of Rochester, dis claimed any connection with the self-elected, self chosen, self-constituted Corporation—(Cheers) — and reprobated them as notoriously corrupt. Within the last two years they had spent 2,000/. in repair ing estates of which they were trustees ; that they did the work themselves, and got one of their own body to survey it, and report their charges as cor rect.--(Hu was proceeding in a similar strain when the Chairman requested him to confine himself to , the question before the meeting.) He only said this to prove that the chief motive the Corporation had to keep Chatham out was to keep themselves in. —(Cheers.) They at first opposed Reform alto gether ; and now that their efforts in that respect were unavailing, they were trying to nibble off as much as they could from the Bill of the people. Mr. PR ENTIS next rose, and attempted to show that the plan of annexation of the three towns arose at first from an erroneous idea that Rochester had not sufficient 10/. houses to create a constituency according to the Bill. lie stated, that in the case of Plymouth and Devonport, Plymouth retained its two .Members, and Devonport was allowed one ; and he thought Rochester and Chadians might be dealt with in the same way.—(Confusion.) Mr. DADD stated that the principles of Reform were—extension of the elective franchise, and to obtain an independent constituency ; that principle was clearly applicable to the junction of Chatham and Stroud with Rochester ; for, as Rochester did not contain 1,000 ten-pound houses, when the old freemen died off there would riot be so many voters as there are now; and as the out-voters are to be disfranchised, Rochester would become more cor rupt than hitherto—(Cheers)---and could that cor ruption be better prevented than by annexing to it Chatham (which alone contained between 3,000 and 4,000 ten-pound houses) and Strood ?—(Cheers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. Horn, after some able remarks, proposed a petition founded on the resolutions; which being seconded by Mr. B.TRIBE, was unanimously adopted. It was then resolved that Mr. Hodges should be requested to present and Mr. Rider to support the petition to the House of Commons on Tuesday (last) evening. It was sighed by about 400 per sons (many being freemen of Rochester), a great number having left the room from inability to get to the tables. Thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting dispersed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday Master Daniel Campbell, an .unwashed chimney-sweeper, and Miss Anne 1 1 / a ters, a pretty dark-eyed girl, about 18, into whose affections Mas ter Daniel Campbell had swept his way successfully, were charged before Mr. Gm:Erni, with stealing a " golden sovereign" and a " silver half-crown," the money and chattels of Mrs. Wright, a lady wot keeps a " sweeping 'stablishment" in Lisson-grove. Mrs. Wright, after having dropt an introductory curtsey, stated that poor Mr. Wright having been taken away from her by that " dunnest of all duns," death, she carried on business on her own account, and Master Daniel Campbell was her own right hand man, and even slept in the house. Oa Mon day, as all the world knows (or at least the news papers will tell those at a distance in due time), his Majesty—" God bless him !" ejaculated Mrs. Wright, with a fervency which could leave no doubt of her loyalty, went to open the new London Bridge ; 'twas a sight Mrs. Wright may never see again, had never seen before, and was determined she should see it at this time. Accordingly she set off early to secure a seat, leaving Master Daniel Camp bell to take care of the soot and premises. Mrs. Wright got a peep at the King and returned betimes—indeed she was home so early as six o'clock in the evening, and found Master Daniel on duty on her return. Master Daniel begged leave to have the evening t o himself, which Mrs. Wright could not find it in her heart to object to, but pressed him to remain for tea, promising therein a drop of " real cream," for his attention during the day. Master Daniel, how ever, had resolution enough to withstand the temp tation of the " real cream," and set off; but as soon as he departed Mrs. Wright went to her box, in which were deposited two sovereigns and fotir half-crowns " in gold and silver," of which " one golden sovereign and a silver half-crown" were gone; the box had been broken open. Mrs. Wright thought it wrong to lose her money, and having made some inquiries, she learned that her " right hand man" was going to be married next Sunday to Miss Waters; so she made search after Master Daniel, and having found him, she sent him to the station-house, and directed a person to go to Miss Waters " for the money which Campbell had given her." This threw the young lady off her guard, arid she immediately produced a sovereign ; and being questioned respecting the half crown, she said it had been spent. The sovereign was given her to pay the expenses of the forthcoming ceremony on Sunday next. Mr. GRIFFITH then ordered the sovereign to Mrs. Wright, strongly recommending her, the next time she went to see the King, to carry out all her money with her. The prisoners were discharged. QUEEN-SQUARE. Richard Blw;t, an itinerant dealer in earthenware, was charged with being very drunk and very disor derly in the streets. In reply the defendant said " Your Worship, I could not sell my crocks, so thinks I to myself I'll see the King; so 1 gets into a public-house sear Westminster -bridge, and then had one pint, and that brought on another, a nd th en you see I became quit e q ueer like, and that is how it was." Mr. WHITE asked him bow much oney he spent
