PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) The rumours that run on the subject of Parlia mentary Reform in Scotland, are an unfavourable far a rational system. The Sheriff Clerks have re ceived orders from Government, to make a return of all the properties in Scotland of 101. and upwards of valued rent. We know not to whose genius the country is indebted to the idea of founding the franchise on valued rent. Every one knows that the valued rent is no criterion of the real rent. Near large towns there are many properties worth 100/ a-year, whose valued rent is not a shilling. On an average of Scotland, one pound Scots of valued rent is equal to 255. sterling of real rent. But observe the discrepancies in the u nties Val Rent Real Rent Scots. Sterling. Ayrshire Lanarkshire 162,000 Renfrewshire Dumbartonshire .. • 33,000 £455,000 £BlB,ooo Here the Pound Scots is equal to 36x. sterling. Fife...... £363,000 Nairn ............... 15,000 Orkney ............ 57,000 Roxburgh Selkirk £829,000 £624,500 Here the Pound Scots is equal only to about 15s. So that a qualification of 10/. of valued rent in one cage would be worth 18/. sterling, and the other wily 71. 10s.; while on the average of Scotland it wou'd be 121. 10s. Such is the absurdity on which the i inovating and revolutionary tribe endeavour to force the enlightened Ministers. Let us consider this notion of 10/. of valued rent and upwards in another light. How many voters would it give for all Scotland ? According to the accounts made up for Sir John Sinclair, the total number of valued private estates in Scotland is 7595. All are not above 101.; but assume them to be so, and say if this be any improvement upon the freehold system worth a straw ! Take the county of Renfrew. Mr. Wilson has given a detailed statement of the pro perties; and the number at 101. and upwards is 350/. The number of freeholders is above 140. Could a change so paltry as this be called Reform ? Mr. Mill, in his discourse on Government, quoted in another part of this paper, scientifically demonstrates the injurious effects of any mode of representation which includes only a minority of the people. If we had recollected this argument, we should have called the attention of the Westminster Review to it, when e noticed the paltry scheme of Reform which that avowedly Radical Journal proposed. We object to the change of one sort of oligarchy for another, not merely because it was iniqulious, but because it would establish a definite line between the privileged and disfranchised, and necessarily lead to heart buntings that would never be quenched till there was an absolute revolution, or such compulsory con cessions as would amount to revolution. We showed that the pecuniary qualification of an assess ment of 10/. rent, would array the people into two distinct classes— The persons who would have the privilege of making laws fur the community £450,000 The bulk of the people who would have nothing to do with the laws but obey them And we said that of the two sorts of Oligarchies, we should prefer the old. Mr. Mill, by a different process of reasoning, had arrived at the same con clusion. He distinguishes between an Aristocracy and an Oligarchy; meaning by Aristocracy a more numerous Oligarchy (such as the 101. qualification would create), and broadly lays it down that the more numerous is the worse. It behoves every man who has the interest of his country at heart, carefully to ventilate such changes as may be pro po,ed. If they be just and consistent with the Con stitution, a greater or less extension of them to practice is of little consequence. A Reform upon equitable principles once begun, will in no long time be perfected. On the other hand, if the changes proceed on iniquitous assumptions, and merely substitute one abuse for another, they ought to be called not Reform, but progression in cor ruption. The authors of such a scheme calculate on a quiet lapse to oligarchical despotism. This hope they will riot find verified. Whatever they may fondly imagine, the schoolmaster is not con fined to houses rented above 101.; nor whatever they who write in the Courier may say, is intellect identical with the being able to occupy three rooms and a kitchen. Let them not deceive themselves. The five-sixths of the people, whom by syste matic disfranchisement they would reduce to the state of slaves, have enough of intellect and infor mation to know that they ought to have a share in making the laws which they are bound to obey. One of the most remarkable features in the case is, that the class which it is proposed to privilege, is not that which has been zealous in asking for Re form. They who would bag the game, are not they who hunted it. The five-sixths who would remain disfranchised, have never, till now, been aided by any thing but a minority of the sixth which would be privileged. A poignant aggravation would, there fore, be superadded to the former sense of injury, should they, by whose exertions Reform has been chiefly advanced, be excluded from the franchise, at the very time that the persons, a great majority of whom used to be indifferent or averse to it, were privileged. Their disappointment would be marked by such agitation, as would compel the Government to resort not only to a large increase of the standing army, but to a general arming of the Ten-Pounds. Class against the Nine Pounds and under. If any Government could have afforded to carry on such a war against five-sixths of the people, it is not probably one loaded with 800,000,0004 of debt. Let us suppose, however, that by still increasing the debt, the Government could find means of assuring themselves against insurrection, a contemporaneous step would be the re-enactment of the Six Acts, and the enactment of six more; one of which would be to prevent any man renting a house under 101 from ever uttering the word Reform. The five sixths being prevented from attempting to obtain their rights by the constitutional course,—public meetings and petitions—would not all remain quiescent under their enthralment. Whatever the more virtuous portion might do, it would be besotted to imagine that persons not averse to what Hums calls robust crimes would not arise, or be unaccompanied by thieves. Whenever one of those stagnations, which periodically prevail where there is a surplus both of workmen and capital, oc curred, the perpetration of crime would commence on a large scale. Assassination of such persons as were active on the side of Government would be accompanied by conflagration of farms and public works, and by the pillage of private houses. The country would become uninhabitable. The manu facturers would emigrate in a mass, and the land holders, with rents reduced a half, would be left to the whole weight of the taxes. Happily to avert the probability of such calamities is easy. It, id only necessary to adopt the plan of Reform proposed In 1797 by Earl Grey. On Thursday the term of imprisonment ex pired to which Mr. ALExANDEa was sentenced by the Court of King's Bench, for three political libels on mem bers of the late Administration.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward his Finance statement last night in the House of Commons. Considerable expectation was excited on the occasion, and the lobby and galleries were much crowded, especially by commercial men. After stating that the object which he had prin cipally in view was the relief of the labouring classes, the Noble CHANCELLOR entered at length into a statement of the nature of his reductions. In the first place he proposed a considerable one on tobacco, to the effect that the duty on the raw article should be reduced from 3s. to Is. 6d., and that on the manufactured one from 9s. to 4s. 6d.— He proposed secondly that the Stamp Duty on Newspapers should be reduced from 4d. to 2d., and that the discount of 20 per cent. should be done away with. This change is in every respect a bene ficial one; for the duty, as it has hitherto existed, has been most oppressive; a tax in fact on mind, which threw almost insurmountable obstacles in the way of knowledge. In Advertisement Duties, the Noble CHANCELLOR also proposed a most beneficial alteration ; namely, that they should be reduced from 3s. 6d. to Is. on every advertisement containing ten lines, and fixed at 2s. 6d.'on all above that number. The next reduction was on sea-borne coals, the tax on which was to be abolished altogether —an an nouncement which the House listed to with evident satisfaction. The duty on tallow candles the Noble CHANCELLOR also proposed to reduce to 420,000/. ; on printed calicoes to 500,0001.; on glass to 680,0001. ; on auctions to 60,0001., and on various other mis cellaneous articles to 80,0001., so that from these items taken together the whole amount of saving to the public and loss to the Revenue would be 4,160,000/. To make up this deficiency the Noble CHANCELLOR stated that he should equalize the duty on wines of every descrip tion at ss. 3d. per gallon ; on coals for exportation at 10s. both for large and small; and that he should place European and Canadian timber on a more even footing, fixing the amount on the latter at 50s. instead of 455. Moreover, he should propose a tax on steam-boat passengers, of Is. per head for every twenty miles; 2s. a head when the distance was between twenty and thirty; and 2s. 6d. for any distance over thirty. On all transfers of landed property the Noble CHANCELLOR proposed that there should be a certain fixed tax of 10s. per cent.; and the same on the bona fide sale of all property in the Funds, which, however, would not affect any transfer made for the security of the public money. The Noble CHANCELLOR'S statement was heard with great attention throughout ; though the Op rosition Benches were vehement in their dis approbation of the tax on funded property. Mr. GOULBURN and Sir R. PEEL 41 particular ob jected to it, as a proposal based on injustice, and a violation of the national faith. A few other Mem bers followed on the same side, after which the House adjourned, at a late hour, to Monday next. The French Papers contain no news of any par ticular importance. Louts PHILLIPPE still persists, it seems, in his rejection of the Crown of Bel gium for the Duke de NEMOURS, but treats the Envoys from Brussels with the most marked kindness and distinction. The Paris Journals seem completely puzzled with this ques tion, and are full of speculations on the subject. Under the head of intelligence from Poland, they state that CRLOPIEKI has been publicly proclaimed a traitor, and add that it is reported that he is labour ing tinder mental aberration. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no arrivals this morning of any consequence. The citizens and speculators are chiefly occupied in ex pounding and discussing the Ministers' Budget; and the money interest are entirely opposed to the tax of per cent. on transfers of stocks ; they are in great hopes that it will not be carried. There is also a great opposition to the taking off the duty on tobacco, instead of which the public say one million should have been taken off the assessed taxes, which would have greatly relieved the middling classes of society; but upon the whole it is evidently a pacific Budget. No funding of Exchequer Bills ; no hint fur a vote of credit. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 79i 80 for the account, opened at '79i I, went down to 79f, and at pre sent are 79i SO. In the foreign market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. The Budget, and nothing but the Budget, occupies the attention of the public in the City, and, in general, it is much disliked ; but the Funds have improved since the early part of the morning, when they were done at 79k, and afterwards went up to 801 for the Account. At present they are 80k. The improvement is attributed to the Budget not being of a warlike description, or any hint in it with regard to want of money ; but we hear that the armaments in our ports are still going on, to be prepared in case any emergency should require our taking an imposing attitude in the present state of Europe. In the Foreign Market there is little or nothing doing at present _ THREE 0' CLOCK. Consols, 80i i. FOUR O'CLOCK.—CLOSING PRICES.

LAND, attended by their suite, arrived in town yesterday from a visit to their MAJESTIES at their Palace at Brighton. Prince LEOPOI.D gives this day, at his residence at Caremont, a grand entertainment to a numerous party of the Nobility and Gentry. His Royal Highness left town yesterday for Claremont. The Earl and Countess GREY had a very numerous evening party at their residence in Downing-street last evening. _ _ _ Despatches were sent off last evening from the Foreign office for Viscount GRANVILLE, our Ambassador at Paris. BRIGHTON, FEB. 11. Their MAJESTIES took an airing yesterday for several hours. The KING, accompanied by the Marchioness of ELY, drove in a carriage and-four, with outriders, to Shoreham, the coast-road and back to Kemptown, and returned to the Palace soon after four o'clock. The QUEEN rode on horseback, accompanied by Lord and Lady ERROL, Mrs. Fox, Prince GEORGE of Cam bridge, Sir ANDREW BARNARD, and a numerous suite. Prince GEORGE drove his pony phaeton in the forenoon, and was attended by Mr. Woon, his tutor. The two young Princes are very much attached to each other. GEORGE of Cumberland is generally called ERNEST in the private circle when both are present. The Duchess of CUMBERLAND, with Prince GEORGE of Cumberland, left the Pavilion yesterday, for their resi dence at St. James's. The Duke of Sussitx is now quite recovered. His Royal Highness took an airing yesterday. Colonel PROTT, Aide-de-camp to his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, arrived here yesterday with despatches for his Ma..nrsx: ; he leaves for Hanover this day. Their MAJzsziss entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday—Prince and Princess LIEVEN, the Mar chioness WELLESLEY, Lord WILLIAM HIRVEY, Lord TE3trLETowti, Miss UProN, General UPTON, Colonel Paorr, and Mr. BIDINGFIELD, had the honour of dining with their MAJESTIES. MOST DESTRUCTIVE CALAMITY AT THE BROOMIELAW, FLOOD, &C.-Our harbour was on Tues day afternoon the scene of one of the most destructive and fatal occurrences, we fear, that has ever been witnessed in this part of the country. At an early hour in the forenoon the Clyde burst forth from its imprisonment, with an omi nous growl, scattering large masses of ice hither and thither, shortly after which it began to rise with alarm ing rapidity—its whole surface being covered with icy fragments of considerable breadth, and of several inches in thickness. The appearance of the river was striking in the extreme, and, during the day, at tracted the attention of hundreds of spectators. Nothing, however, of moment occurred till about half-past four o'clock, p.m., when, at " one wide waft," the ice, which had accumulated to a great extent at the upper tier of vessels on the south side of the harbour, forced them away from their moorings ; and the strength of the current, bearing them towards the centre of the stream, the whole range on that side of the river were speedily set adrift, together with nearly an equal number with which they came in collision on the opposite side. The rapidity of the flood, and the unexpected nature of the event, rendered the joint exertions of Mr. Jot-m.1.0x, the harbour-master, and the united efforts of the crews of the shipping, al most entirely futile in preventing damage. The unmoored shipping quickly drifted past the quay, sinking or taking with it rafts of timber, boats, and every obstacle, oppos ing its progress. Many vessels were sunk, and many more sustained considerably injury. A number of lives have also been lost, and at two o'clock it was rumoured that sixteen dead bodies had then been taken out of the Clyde. The houses at the Broomielaw are filled with water. Only the roof of the what f was visible, and boats were sailing in all the streets near the river.— Glasgow Courier. EFFECTS OF THE REPEAL AGITATION.-- Mr. J. D. CROKER stated at a meeting last week in Cork, on the subject of an address to the Marquis of ANGLESEA, that he had conversed with a deputation of gentlemen, who, during the summer of 1830, visited Ireland, nho had been sent to that country to select localities for the establishment of manufactories of silk and cotton, and who, he said, represented a company of persons who had a capital of two millions to embark in the en• terprise. He stated that although they had successfully prosecuted their inquiries, yet, in consequence of the re newed agitation of the country, they had determined, for the present, to recommend the abandonment of the intended project. One fact like this embodies a whole argument. NEW OFFICIAL GUIDE.—A second and much improved Edition at a very cheap price, has just ap peared of Mr. BURKE'S " Official Kaleadar," which will be found to possess every quality of value in such a pub lication—accuracy, minuteness, consistency of plan, and Ercility of reference. It offers the most complete and cor rect Lists of all the present official characters. Among its contents, the following may be particularized :—The Great Officers of State—The Ministers... Ambassador— s &c.—The Houses of Parliament, with interest ing details respecting the present state of the Counties, Boroughs, and Towns that enjoy the Elective Franchise —The Contests at the late General Election, &c. MR. CANNING.—In the pride of that intel lectual superiority which he undoubtedly possessed, he thought himself able to rule alone. "He comes to me with advice," was his exclamation one day, when a person privileged to offer it had just left the room—" he comes to me with advice" (and his imperious voice and vehement gesture accorded, as he spoke, with the animation of his angry eyes) ; "it is not advice that I want! I want tools ! tools tools ! !" Quarterly Review, 87. A meeting was held on Tuesday, at the Guildhall, Beaumarit, by the Mayor and Burgesses of the borough, for the purpose of electing a Member to serve in Parliament, in the room of Sir R. Wlttrams, Bart., de ceased ; when, upon the motion of Mr. Alderman Wit- LrAms, seconded by Mr. Alderman SPARROW, Sir R. B. WILLIAMS BULKELEY, Bart., son of the late Member, was proposed, and unanimously chosen as a fit and proper person to be their representative. THE TURF.—A sharp scrutiny is, we under stand, at present being made among the Noble patrons of the Turf, the Ring, the Hunt, and the Gaming-table, with a view of discovering the author of the new satirical novel ; for that the author is one of themselves they all feel certain, from the knowledge manifested in the book of their most secret manoeuvres. Should detection ensue, it is thought that more than one fracas must take place. RHYMING TIIIEVES.--Some short time since a gentleman in Somersetshire, named HEX, h ad, amongst other fowls, s i x geese an d a gan d er .—One night all the geese were stolen, and the gander was found the following morning alone, bearing a letter tied around its neck, with a sixpence inclosed, and in the letter the fol lowing humourous lines:—. • Pray Mr. Hex Do not vex Nor think yourself in danger, Fo,. we have bought six geese At a penny a piece, And left the money w►th the gander. —Dorset Chronicle. Lord LONDONDERRY'S " Narrative of the late War in Germany and France," lately published, affords perhaps more correct information respecting the military resources of the Continental Powers, than any work hitherto published. His Lordship's account of the Rus sians, in particular, will be read with great interest at the present juncture.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JUDGMENT.-THE ICING V. JAMES 3IORLEY, JAMES BENWARD, AND _BENJAMIN ROMAINE. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Y.

SCARLETT—NO, my Lord, we have not been able to find them, but your Lordship is empowered, by 3. late Act of Parliament, to pa's judgment in their absence. _ Lord TENTERDEN then proceeded to deliver his Judg ment. The defendants, his Lordship observed, had been found guilty by a verdict of a Jury, on an indictment charging them with conspiring to defraud a publican named Gill. The indictments also included the names of several other parties, one of whom Platts, an at torney, was acquitted, there being no evidence to show that he took any part in the transaction, and the others not appearing to plead it was naturally supposed that they were fictitious personages. It appeared clear that Mr. Gill had an action brought against him to recover penalties under the statute for allowing music and dancing in his house ; he was served with a copy of a writ at the suit of some ene called Lloyd : not knowing any such person, be took no notice of it. Judgment was in consequence entered up, and an execution put into his house. The three defendants afterwards offered to settle the matter for a certain sum, and threatened that, unless their proposition was complied with, they would ruin him by law proceedings ; and, in fact, it seemed they were in earnest, for they actually commenced to put their threat into execution, and Mr. Gill was served with other writs. It appeared Mr. Gill was not the only person so annoyed ; for other individuals in the neighbourhood where be re sided were served in the same vexatious manner. It was clear the..defendants were in the habit of issuing legal process against publicans for their own profit. The offence of which they had been most justly convicted, was in kis opinion a most aggravated one, and one punish able by law. An Act of Parliament had been passed au thorizing the Court to pass judgment out of term, and also in the absence of the parties. Such judgment to bear date from the day when the parties might be taken into custody. Taking into consideration the whole circum stances of this case, lie was of opinion that it was a most serious offence. Morley was more culpable than the others. he as an attorney's clerk knew better, and ought to have acted otherwise. It was clear, however, that the other defendants were quite ready to:carry his plans into effect, and— Mr. PAYNE here interrupted his Lordship ; he had that moment got an affidavit of the defendant Romaine put into his hand : it was however as yet not sworn. Lord TENTERDEN-Is Romaine here? Mr. PAYNE-Yes, my Lord, and his affidavit states that he only received notice yesterday that judgment was to be passed this morning—and therefore he has not had time to obtain the necessary affidavits in mitigation of punishment. It also states that he is more a friend of the prosecutor's than otherwise, and that one of the wit nesses, Tuffs, would join him in an affidavit to that effect. Lord TENTERDEN—The evidence of Tuffs is very con trary to that ; and as to his not receiving notice until yesterday is of no consequence, he ought to have been here at the trial. The attorney for the prosecutor said Romaine was in Court during the trial. Mr. PAYNE-Your Lordship will recollect this is the firs* time that sentence has been passed under the new act. Lord TENTERDEN—I know that, Sir, but there must be a beginning, and I see no reason why it should be post poned in this case. The sentence of the Court it that James Morley be imprisoned in the House of Correction fur the term of nine calendar months, and that the other defendants, llenward and Romaine, be imprisoned in the same gaol for.the term of eight calendar months, the date of such imprisonment to commence from the day they are taken into custody ;and at the expiration of their im prisonment they be further confined until they enter into their own recognizances of 1001. each, and find two sure ties of 251. each, for their good behaviour for two years.

TA TTERSALL'S. A few changes have occurred in the Derby betting since our last report ; Caleb is on the advance, and now so close upon the heels of Filagree, that we expect to see him second favourite on the next betting day. Varennes also advances, and two or three changes are likewise commencing amongst the outsiders; An tiope, Cressida, and Medora, were backed in the course of the afternoon. As the weather opens we may look for still more important changes, as the horses will be enabled to take their customary trials, exercise, &c. Nothing fresh o n th e O a k s; F or the Ridtllesworth Lord Exeter's colt is in force, and has sprung three or four points since our last quotation.

The plaintiff in this case is a female, and the defendant a proprietor of one of the Paddington stages. It appeared that in Augu't last the plaintiff and a friend got into one of the Omnibuses in the Regent's-park, for the purpose of going to the Bank. They had not been in long, when the defendant's stage came up, and the coachman opened the door of the Omnibus, and told them that be would take them both to the Bank for eighteenpence. This seemed too tempting an offer to resist, and they got out of the Omnibus into the coach. The coachman drove very furiously, and when it arrived in the City road one of the wheels came off, by which the coach was upset, the plaintiff and her friends thrown out, and considerably hurt. These facts having been proved in evidence, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 301. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. WILLIS, BART. V. BARNARD, BART. This case (which is an action of trim. con.) which has excited considerably curiosity, was this morning post poned indefinitely on account of the non-arrival of wit nesses. The Court af.erwards took Common Jury causes of no public interest. On Tuesday week their MAJESTIES Will honour Drnry-lane with their presence. The School for Scandal will be the comedy; the second piece is not yet fixed upon, but most probably an opera will conclude the entertainments. AXIOMS FOR DINING OUT !—The Court Journal of this day contains a set of Axioms for Diners Out, which serve as an excellent vade-mecum to every uninstructed member of the vast family of the Diners Out. Among various other piquant papers, in particular will be found a description of a Radical Lord—a Scene, entitled " The March of Sedition" an Essay, at once elegant and humourous, on the Prospects of the Season—and last, but not least, tke " Portrait of a Lady !" The family of his Grace the Duke of BEAUFORT have, within these few days, been plunged into the deepest affliction by the unexpected demise of Lady ISABELLA ANN KINGSCOTE, their Graces' sixth daughter, a highly accomplished and beautiful young lady, who expired on the 2(1 instant, at her Roble father's seat, Badminton. Her Ladyship, who was in her 23,1 year, was the wife of THOMAS HENRY KINGSCOTE, Esq., of Kingscote Castle, to whom she was married in April, 1828. Lady ISABELLA was niece to the Marquis of STAFFORD, and Lords CHARLES, NORBORNS BERKELEY, EDWARD, JOHN, and FITZROY S•XXERSET. The despatches which have been received from the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and which were immediately forwarded to the KING, at Brighton, are of great interest. We hear, from a quarter not likely to be misinformed, that his Royal Highness recommends several concessions to the Hanoverian subjects of his MAJESTY; and that the re commendation will be acted upon almost immediately. The Countess SOMERS died on Wednesday, at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire, the seat of Earl SOMERS. Her Ladyship, who was daughter of the Rev. EDWARD TREADWAY NASH, was considerably advanced in years, and was married in April, 1785, to Earl Swamis, by whom she had a family of three sons and one daughter_. viz., the Hon. Major EDWARD SOMERS Cocxs, o f th e 16 t h L an cers, a gallant and promising young officer, who was killed at the siege of Burgos, in Spain, Bth October, 1812 ; JOHN SOMERS, Viscount EASTNOR, M.P. for Hereford ; the Hon. and Rev. JAMES SOMERS COCKS, Prebendary of Hereford; and Lady MARGARET MARIA COCKS. It is reported in the haut ton, that Sir Mos. REIMELL, Bart. will lead to the hymenial altar, this day, Lady EuzasEnt PECK, sister to the Archbishop of ARMAGH. The present week has afforded a striking specimen of the variableness of our uncertain climate. As late as Sunday night last we had a heavy fall of snow, and the atmosphere piercingly cold; while on Wednesday the . thermometer in th e s h a d e rose to 60, an d was no t b e l ow 50 during th e w h o l e 24 hours of that day and n i g h t.
