The object of such Associations is, first, to effect the mos s complete registration that is practicable of all persons in the Liberal interest, qualified by law, to vote at elections of Mem bers of Parliament for Counties ; secondly, to protect the Liberal cause from any illegal registration by the Tories. To effect these important ends on precisely the same plan in all Counties, may, from various local circumstances, be diffi cult ; bat, wherever it can be accomplished, a uniform system is extremely desirable. For this purpose, it is recommended that Central, District, and Local Committees should be formed. CENTRAL COMMITTEE. In al Counties, or Divisiou3 of Counties, a Central Com mittee should bo formed, with which all District Committees should ant in unison. The place of meeting of such Central Committee should be the County Town (where there is one in the Division), or the City or Town of the largest population. Every Central Committee should have a Chairman, a De puty Chairman, a SecretaT, and a Treasurer. DUTIES OF CENTRAL COMMITTEE. The duties of each Central Committee will be -Ist. Generally to superintend the entire registration of the County or Division. and. To insure the formation of a District Committee at the most convenient place in each polling district. 3rd. To furnish each District Committee with all legal forms for claims or objections in respect of votes. 4th. To circulate in each district, manuals and other infor mation useful to Electors. sth. To make adequate preparation in the week imme diately following the first Sunday in September, for the ap proaching revision of votes by the Barristers throughout the whole County or Division. An Annual Meeting of the Central Committee and a De putation from each of the District Committees should take place early in the month of Ju no ; an d suc h A nnual Meeting should be held in the most convenient locality. At such Meetings the necessary arrangements for the Annual registra tion of the Counties may be considered, and planned. A skeleton map of each County or Division should be printed or lithographed by each Central Committee; distinguishing the names and divisions of the parishes; affixing to each parish a number corresponding with the schedul e on t h e marg i n o f the m a p ; an d l eav i ng columns for the entry of their respec tive number of voters. A WARNING VOICE. DISTRICT COMMITTEES. In each polling district a District Committee should be formed, which should have a Chairman, a Deputy Chairman, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. Each District Committee should form its own fund, restricted to its local objects. DUTIES OF DISTRICT COMMITTEES. The duties of the District Committees are -Ist. Generally to superintend the registration in their sevora polling districts. 2d. To ensure throughout the whole of their District the for mation of such Local Committees for one or more parishes, as may be found convenient. 3d. To furnish to each Local Committee legal forms of claim and objection. 4th. To circulate in each District useful manuals for electors. btli. To promote and enforce, by every means iu their power Meetings of each Local Committee at the proper times, and for the purposes hereinafter mentioned. 6th. To communicat e to the Central Committee all the infor mation necessary to a careful revision of the Voters. LOCAL COMMITTEES. The Duties of the _Local Committees are -Ist. To investigate without delay the register of the past year, so far as it applies to their own parish or parishes ; to consider the qualification s of those already registered ; and to collect the names, .qualificatio ns , an d res i dences of qua lified persons not rer Itered, -Shetland Journal. glsl 2nd. To meet in the first week of July, for the purpose o. giving notice to all qualified persons of the parish not registered, of the period required by law for sending in claims ; and for the purpose of ensuring that such claims are sent in, on their behalf, before the 20th of July. ,rd. To meet in the first week of August, for the purpose of carefully going through the new lists made by the Over seers, and of objectinr , to persons inserted therein, who are not entitled to be voters; also for the ose o ascertaining whether any persons who have made purp claimsf , or who were i n t h e l ast register, are omitted from the list. 4th. To t a k e care t h at proper notices of objection are pre l.p.red and duly served, on or before the 2oth day of August. To meet immediately after the first Sunday in Septem ber, for the purpose of ascertaining the means of defending the votes of persons to whom objections have been taken ; and to report to the District Committee upon all claims and objec tions which are to be heard before the Revising Barristers. N.B.—Where Local Committees are not formed, the Dis trict Committees must perform the duties assigned to the Local Committees. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. In counties, or divisions of counties, containing two chief owns, it may be desirable to have two Central Committees, one reach sigrratulding division. Eaclr 'eiitral Committ ee s h ou ld procure a copy of the last Doll d an interleav e d copy of the register, in which all the retcs of the District Committees should be entered. Each DiQiict and Local Committee should be furnished by the Cetral Committee with two interleaved copies of their part of ilittriOister, each voter's !ast poll being marked on the margin saa orle copy. Each District Committee should also be sup. with a map. i&. .-' - - - THE REFORM ASSOCIATION Each Committee should enter, on the interleaved copies of CALLS upon ALL REFORMERS throughout the KING- their district register, notes of all information as to the death DOM, to CO-OPERATE with them in OBTAINING A or disqualification of voters. And one of these copies should FULL and HONEST REGISTRATION of EVERY be transmitted by each Local Committee to the District PERSON QUALIFIED for th e ELECTIVE FRAN- Committee, in the first week in July; together with a list of CHISE under the Provisions of the REFORM ACTS, all persons of reform principles qualified, but not registered, The Elections can only be Gained by Vigilant Attention to the so far as they have been able to ascertain them.

The state of our relations with Russia is daily assuming a more hostile appearance, and serious apprehensions of a war with that power are generally entertained. Among other objects of her ambition, that of becoming a first-rate maritime power is well known to be a favourite one. The principal obstacle to it is her want of ports out of the Bal tic, where her fleet are of necessity frozen in for half the year. Now, supposing the Emperor Nicolas to be aware, (and he and his ministers have pretty sharp eyes,) that there is a certain isolated portion of the British kingdoms, containing some of the finest harbours in the world, not a great deal further from St. Petersburg than it is from Lon don'; and in such a perfectly defenceless condition, through the neglect of the British government, that with a very inconsiderable force, it might be taken possession of without the slightest resistance being offered ; and that in consequence of its distance from the seat of the British government, and the ease with which its commu nication with the rest of that kingdom could be cut off, this invading force, with the assistance of some engineers, who would no doubt be brought, might so fortify some of the principal positions in these islands, before any succour could arrive from the mother country, perhaps be fore even their landing might be known there, as to enable them to resist the attack of a force ten times the amount of that which had at first taken possesSion of the place, —sup posing, I say, that the Emperor Nicolas knew this, what is there to prevent him, on the very first determination of war with Great Britain, to make an attempt to turn the Shet land Islands to the same use for his purposes in the North sea, as we have done Malta for our purposes, in the Medi terranean ? There would be nothing whatever in their present state to prevent this happening. It is likely per haps, that Russia might be compelled after a temporary oc cupation, to relinquish them again, and that rather than permit so humiliating a stain on our national honour, as the permanent appropriation by Russia of a portion of the British dominions, no efforts would be spared to regain possession of these insignificant islands. A considerable force would no doubt be fitted out and dispatched to retake, Shetland, and after a vast deal of expense had been incurred, and some blood shed, the Russians might possibly be compelled to abandon it, after Russia, probably, by thus having drawn off a considerable part of the British forces, at a trifling cost to her, had succeeded in effecting some more important object of her plan of warfare in some other quarter. Now what would be the consequence to Shetland of such a contingency as this ? Why, bad enough in the outset, no doubt. But still not a great deal worse than what Shetland has been used to in times not long since gone by. The Russians would, no doubt, help themselves to a few men to - serve on board their ships of war. In do:ng so they would, of course, endea vour to catch them alive. For this purpose, they might, perhaps, scour the country in armed bands, in order to • ferret their prey out of their hiding-places. Or they might come in the dead of night and drag a man out of his. bed, regardless of the shrieks of his wife, or the cries of his infants ; and if a spirited Cuil nisintrg wife should attempt to resist the violation cf her habitation, and favour the escape of her husband, the Russians might be unmanly enough to cut and mangle her with their swords.--What then ? Do none of our readers recollect some such thing happening under the mild and paternal sway of the British Government ? Yes, they must recollect it—and that under the rigid justice of a Shetland judge and jury the sufferers were compensated, and the chief perpetrator of such a crime punished—by his being sentenced to drink whiskey toddy for a. fortnight with his boon-companions, in a comforta ble apartment in the town-hall of Lerwick. But worse still than this might happen : the Russians might lay under heavy contribution such of our country-folks as have siller—and they might even compel our lairds to ransom their estates at pretty heavy sums. What would the dragging away of a few poor men, or the - mangling of a few poor women be, compared to such a calamity as this ? Even this, however, would be nothing worse than, nky hardly equal to, 14,4 t the (FigiJ4gAlairdr of the coun try—the ancient UdalliiiAufrertimOtqtrerce being pawned to the King of Scotland, because the King of: Denmark, puir man, had not the bawbees ready to pay his dealer's lecher. So that we should still suffer nothing worse than what our ancestors have been used to. And the consequences would, in the end, be certainly much better than what we have been used to. Impoverish ment and slavery would not thereby br entailed upon our successors. On the contrary, the British authorities, find ing that there was an ex t reme li m b o f t h e empire which it was necessary to prevent from being cut off with impunity, would at last turn their attention to its defence and im provement. Some of the principal places would be forti fied—roads would be made at the public expense, to afford a communication between them, and thus state necessity would effect (as it did in the Highlands of Scot land after the forty-five) what national justice or liberality never have , yet conceded. Some of our readers will, however, most likely say, and we think so too, that this defence and improvement might. just as well, and a great deal better, be effected before hand. So it certainly might be. A few hundred of the troops which are now maintained by the nation for doing nothing, might be sent down to Shetland, and, under the direc tion of experienced enzineers, might make such defences, and such, good roads through the country, at the joint expense of the government, the inhabitants generally, and the proprietors of land, as would render any sudden sur prise by a small force unsuccessful, and would besides contribute most essentially to the general improvement of our islands. But how is this to be accomplished ? Why, in the very first instance, it would be necessary for us to present a memorial on the subject to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, numerously signed by all the principal people of Shetland—and who is to take the trouble which such a step would require —No one I fear. Therefore we must even take our chance, and if a Rus sian squa . dron should arrive, and we should be unable to beat it off by pelting the Russians with pickled herrings from Fort Charlotte—why then—we must just submit to our fate. Within a circuit of several miles round Maidstone, die hay has never been known to have been got in better. The cinquefoil, clover, and trefoil, have produced heavily, and the grass, although not quite equal to the latter, except in good soils, is yet a good average crop.—Maidstone Gazette. DEATH OF THOMAS GRAHAM STIRLING, Ese., OF AIRTII.-It is with the most mournful feelings that we have to announce the death of the above-named gentle man. For many years he had taken an active part in all matters connected with the county ; and a strong testimony of the high respect which was generally entertained for his business talents, as well as for his character as a private gen tleman, he received, in being chosen to fill the honourable situation of Convener—a situation which he held for many years, and continued to hold to the day of his death. As a politician, it is well known that his sentiments were strictly Conservative. These be never sought to conceal ; these he openly avowed ; and these he maintained with a firmness which stood Unmoved amidst all the fluctuations of political opinion which he lived to witness. For a humane and gene rous spirit—a disposition to sympathise with all in time of need, and to reeve them to the utmost of his ability—a promptitude in acts of kindness and benevolence, and to put forth his strenuous exertions for the purpose of conferring them, Mr. Graham Stirling, we may say, was almost un equalled.—Stirling Journal. THE NEACE.—Withollt the mace, the House of Commons does not exist ; and it is as essential that the mace should be present at the deliberations of our senate, as th a t Mr. Speaker should b e th ere himself. Without a Speaker the House never proceeds to business, and without his mace Mr. speaker cannot take the chair. At the commencement of a session, az.d before the election of a Speaker, this va luable emblem of his dignity is hidden under the table of the House while the clerk of the table presides during the elec tion; but no sooner is the Speaker elected, than it is drawn from its hiding-place, and deposited on the table, where it ever sifter remains durin . g the sitting of the Huuse ; at its rising, Mr. Speaker carries it away with him, and never trusts it out a his keeping. This important question, of the Speaker's duty in retaining c 'Onstant posses s i o n o f thi s , w hi c h may b e ca ll e d hi s g il t wa lki ng stick, was most gravely decided in the y ear 1 7 63, as appears by the jo urna l s o f t h e H ouse of Sir John C ust, t h e S peaker, Common s . O n t h at occas i on . bein g ta k en ill, sent to tell tl House, by the c l er k at t h e table, th at he (f.ould Oct take th chair. It app ears t h at t h ere , ) was couiderah',e discussion ‘ 1 ,v13 ether the mace ought not to have b..en in the House when this important communication was made. No one, however, -prestuned to say that it ought to hate been on th e ta bl e, but s, r can ma intained that it ought, for the dignity o f t h e House, to 'h a ve been underneath it. It was decided, however, that Mr. Speaker had done quite right not to part with his bauble ~; and the House accordingly, as the journals inform us, " adj aurnod themselves without the mace." Fur a member to cr ass between the chair and the mace when it is taken from the t able by the sergeant-at-arms, is an offence which it is the S.iaev.lter's duty to reprimand. Book of Table Talk. IMPERI Ai PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, JULY 13. Witnesses were examined at the bar from ten to two o'clock in support of the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill. The Earl of Devon, in the absence of the Lord Chan cellor and the Earl of Shaftesbury, presided at the table. The whole case in support of the Bill was gone through, with the exception of the examination of a single witness. The Counsel were directed to attend on Saturday at ten o'clock, when the evidence on the part of the petitioners against the Bill was ordered to be heard. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. The several Bills on the table were forwarded.a stage. The Sheriffs' Courts (Scotland) Bill, and the Turnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill, were brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought up the report of the Committee on the Commissary Court (Scotland) Bill.—Bill fixed for third reading to-morrow. The Marquis of HUNTLY presented a petition from King's College, Aberdeen, against the Scotch Universities Bill. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from eight dignitaries of the Established Church on the subject of the Church Discipline 841. The petition, the Noble Lord observed, applied to the Bill as it was, rather than to the Bill as it stood at present. On the motion of Lord LYNDHURST, the Bill for enabling the Master of the Rolls to devise certain premises to the Society of Judges and Sergeants at Law, for the erection of chambers for the Judges and Sergeants, was. read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The Church Discipline Bill was re-committed. The postponed clauses were considered and agreed to. The Bishop of EXETER proposed a clause in lieu of clause 3, which was agreed to. The House then resumed, the Chairman reported pro gress, and obtained leave to sit amain to-morrow. On the motion of the LOReCHANCELLOR, the Duchy of Cornwall Revenues Bill was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a peti tion from the Clergy of Derby, in favour of a better ob servance of the Sabbath. The Most Rev. Prelate, at the same time, presented other petitions, with a similar prayer, from Buxton, and a number of other places, in the county of Derby. Their Lordships then adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 13. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. SOUTH METROPOLITAN CEMETERY BILL. Captain ALSAGER brought up the R e p or t o f t h e South Met ro p o lit an Cemetery Bill. Mr. POTTER objected to the Report being received, as he considered the great body of Dissenters insulted by many of the provisions of the Bill. The Bill provided that certain parts should be consecrated, but that those parts should not which were intended for the interment for Dissenters —certainly distinctions in these days were carried to a great extent, but he thought that in the grave there should be none. There were two other Bills of the same description, and equally objectionable, as they seemed to make a marked distinction between Dissenters and Churchmen. In fact in some places these distinctions were carried so fiir, that walls were built between the parts appropriated for the interment of Dissenters and those de signed for the burial of the members of the Church. Dr. BO WRING agreed with the Hon. Member, that the House could not sanction a Bill which made so marked a distinctioo between Members of the Established Church and Dissenters. Surely Dissenters were as much entitled to Christian burial as Churchmen. He trusted that the Bill would be re-committed. Captain ALSAGER was sure that the promoters of the Bill had no wish to prevent Dissenters being interred as they pleased ; he bad carefully read all the clauses of the Bill, and he could not discover any that contained pro visions of exclusion. Mr. CHAS. LUSHINGTON considered it most dis creditable in the 19th century, that the members of the Church of Eugland would not allow Dissenters to be buried in the same ground with themselves. Mr. POTTER moved that the report be received this day three months. Dr. BO WRING thought this proceeding rather too severe. He thought• that the Bill ought to be recom mitted, to give the friends of the Bill an opportunity of amending it. Mr. WAKLE Y said the institution of Cemeteries was very salutary in so ' ()Teat a metr o p o li s as thi s ; b ut at t h e same time he regarded this Bill as such an insult to the House, and so derogatory to the English public at this period of intelligence, that he thought they should not properly consult the interests of the public unless they re jected with scorn so odious a measure.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BAINES agreed with the Hon. Member for Finsbury, that these institutions. were of great while benefit. He hoped the Honourable Member for 'Wigan would put his motion in such a way that the Bill would again come under their consideration. He believed that Dissenters had no objection to be buried in ground that was not consecrated, neither did they consider it any stigma to be so buried.—( Hear, hear.) What he would recommend was, that the Hon. and Gallant Member should re-commit the Bill, as there was every dis Position in the House to promote what appeared to be a great public benefit. Captain ALSAGER defended the clause. The Bill had been drawn up to accord with the feelings of the Church—(A laugh)—and of charity ; and there certainly was no intention to interfere with the conscientious scruples of the Dissenters. Mr. WILKS would recommend the postponement of the measure, in order tl.at the objectionable clause should be reconsidered. The clauses in question went to perpetuate an odious distinction, which it was not the policy of that Houie to keep up, and he therefore hoped the Bill would be re-committed. Captain ALSAGER had no objection to the recommit tal of the Bill, and he hoped Hon: Members would favour him with their suggestions, so as to make it acceptable. The Bill was then ordered to be re-committed. TURNPIKE ACTS. Mr. F. MAULE gave notice that to-morrow he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to continue till September 1837 all Local Turnpike Acts. POST-OFFICE. Mr. T. BARING presented a petition, complaining of the local charge upon letters. The petitioners instanced the case of a letter going five miles, by the present regula tions was carried 20 miles, and charged by the mileage. Mr. WALLACE said he had been requested to sup port the prayer of the petition, and he did so with much pleasure. It was the most sensible and reasonable petition that he had seen on the subject. He would move that the petition be printed. " Can Ido so, Sir ? " The SPEAKER--No. • The petition was then laid on the table. Dr. BOWRING moved for Returns of the-Drawback on the Materials used for the Building of Kirks in Scot land.—Ordered. BLACKPRIARS-BRIDGE. Mr. HAWES gave notice, on the part of the Members for West Surrey, that he would move to-morrow for leave to bring in a Bill to carry into effect the Report of the Committee upon Blackfriars bridge. COURTS OF REQUEST. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from certain per sons, complaining that they had been summoned to the Court of Requests for a small sum, and that the expenses were 300 per cent. more than the debt. The same Hon. Member Presented a petition from certain labourers in factories, praying the House not to make any alteration in the Factories Act that would add to the hours of labour ; also a petition from the surgeons of Andover, complaining that a person was practising in that town who had obtained his diploma by means of fraudulent certificates. Sir F. POLLOCK defended the course pursued by the College of Surgeons. He did not wish to object to the reception of the petition, but would leave it to be dealt with by the House as it might think fit. After a few words from Mr. WAKLEY, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Sir CHARLES BURRELL rose to bring before the attention of the House what he considered, at least, to be a great breach of decorum, if not of the privileges of the House. It had been stated that the reason why he gave his vote in favour of Stephenson's line was that he had had 15,000/. awarded to him for land belonging to him through which that line would have to pass. He begged leave to state, for the information of the House, that this was totally untrue. If he were capable of acting in such a way as had been imputed, he would not only be totally unworthy of a seat in that House, but undeserving of being received into any society of gentlemen. He spurned the idea of being considered capable of so base and disgraceful an act. After some further observations which, from the low tone of the Hon. Gentleman's voice, were totally inaudible, he con cluded by moving that Mr. Cundy, a party implicated, be summoned to appear at the bar of the House on Monday Captain PEC HELL was taken by surprise by this mo tion, nor did he expect that the Hon. Baronet would have brought such a trumpery question before the House. He imagined the Hon. Member was, when he rose, about to bring forward something of a graver nature. He alluded to a rumour which was afloat with regard to an Hon. Mem ber of that House, as having been tampered with by a large shareholder in this line of way, with a view to prevent the presentation of a petition. This was what he expected the attention of the House was about to be called to. As to the charge brought forward by the Hon. Baronet, it was a mere trumpery thing, a mere matter of conversation, and not worthy of occupying the time of the House. Mr. Alderman WOOD said he had had such a clause in his Bill of last year, but it had been generally disapproved of by the House. Mr. HAWES said he should object to the five shil lings license contained in the clause, and he would divide the House upon it. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place. On our return ye found Colonel SIBTHORP moving his amendment with re gard to the badge or ticket to be worn by cabmen. Captain BOLDERO said that he had once been driven by a cabman who asked him if lie knew the Hon. Member for Lincoln, informing him at the same time that he and others had conspired and agreed if ever they caught the Gallant Colonel in a cab they would upset him and break his neck, by taking out the linch-pin.—(Laughter.) He (Captain Boldero) asked him why he did not d,o it? And the cabman replied that he thought hiv , own neck was as valuable as the Gallant Colonel's ; and, moreover, the Colonel once gave him seventeen shillings for driving him three hours. The House then divided, when there appeared— Ayes ... . .. Noes Majority On our return to the Gallery, Colonel PERCEVAL was enforcing the propriety of obliging the drivers to wear badges, as it could then be seen who were the drivers that misconducted themselves ; it would not be looked on by the men themselves as a degradation. After a short consultation the Gallery was again cleared for a division. None however took place. Mr. WAKLEY maintained that the duty to be paid by drivers should be reduced to one shilling, in place of five. On this point the House divided, when there appeared for the original clause— Ayes Noes Majority .. Colonel SIBTHORP proposed that drivers should no be under sixteen years of age, which was agreed to. On the question that the clause, as amended, stand par of the Bill, Mr. WAKLEY insisted on dividing the House. The House then divided, when the numbers were— Ayes 33 Noes 25 Majority 8 , Clauses up to 17 were subsequently agreed to. Clause 18, which p rov id e d t h at no "roken door, win dow, or step " should be allowed, or " unfit horse," or " car riage in unclean condition," be permitted, was withdrawn. Clause 19, which tegulates the number of passengers in public conveyances, and fixes them at eighteen, being pro posed, Mr. :WA RBURTON said he should move as an amend ment, that the words " drawn by horses " should be inserted, as the terms might apply to steam carriages capable of car rying 180. Dr. BO WRING thought that the matter should be left to be regulated according to public convenience, and said he should divide the House for the omission of the clause. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the clause For the amendment l7 Majority —2 The clause was then passed. On clause 20 being proposed, Mr. WAK LEY said that the law ought to be made to apply just as much t o th e r i c h as to t h e poor—to gentle men's carriages and hackney carriages. He would move a proviso to the effect that a plate should be placed in a con spicuous part of the inside and outside of all carriages, le gibly inscribed with the name and address of the owner, :in der a penalty for omission of 40s. He contended that the con duct of the coachmen of private gentlemen, especially at large parties, where the streets were completely thronged, was far more atrocious than the conduct of the drivers of public vehicles. Almost every man's life was in danger ; he was sure to meet with insult at least, and if he asked for ' the name of the owner of the carriage the only answer he could obtain was " I wish you may get it," if not something more severe. He should divide the House on it. An HoN. MEMBER moved that the House be counted, and there being only 39 Members present the House ad journed at Thirty-five Minutes past Seven o'Clock. We hear that the Marquis of Hertford intends to close his splendid fetes at his villa in the Regent's-park by shortly giving a grand dejeuner a la fourchette, at which her Majesty and other members of the Royal family are expected to be present. Farmers begin to be apprehensive of a second year's failure in the turnip crop—a circumstance which has been rarely known to occur. MANCHESTER.—Trade, in this town, and in the district surrounding it, is in a most prosperous condition. On all sides are to be seen new mills and cottages, some just completed, and others in course of erection. Several additional factories are nearly built in Ashton, Duckinfield, Staley-bridge, Rochdale, Bury, and Bolton ; and in the vil lage of Heywood, which only a short time ago was an insig nificant place, four hundred cottages will be built in the pre sent summer, with one or two very large factories, an inn, and a church. .—Manchester Tines. The Stain!) Office arrangements for the transaction of business under the new Stamp system are in a state of com pletion. Thirty persons are added to the usual number in the stamping-rooms, and additional rooms are appropriated, in expectation of a large increase of circulation. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday a requi sition was presented to the High Bailiff of the Borough of Southwark, requesting him to convene a public meeting to consider the subject of the anticipated resignation of Mr. D. W. Harvey. The High Bailiff said it would be impossible for him to give an answer until to-morrow (Thursday). Mr. WYNN was astonished to hear such a charge called a trumpery one by an Hon. Member of that House. A Member of the House had been charged with foul and cor rupt conduct, and such a charge was called trumpery.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member who thus designated it, at the same time alluded to other charges against other Hon. Gentlemen. If the reports were well founded, it was the bounden duty of the Hon. Member to bring them be fore the House, even to the exclusion of important public business. It was important to the performance of public business that the character of those by whom it was trans acted should be unimpeachable.—(Hear, hear.) If such charges were suffered to be passed by, it would be a sort of Parliamentary acknowledgment that they could be made with impunity.—( Hear, hear.) It would be almost admitt ing that the conduct so imputed was not shameful. If there were foundation for those charges, the guilty should be punished ; if there were no foundation, those should be punished who brought them forward. Mr. W. Cundy should be ordered to attend the House, the subject should be inquired into, and it would be found—as all who knew the Hon. Baronet were perfectly convinced—that the charge was a most unfounded one.—(Hear, hear.) Lord A. LENNOX, in seconding the proposition, was satisfied that no member of the Committee would render himself liable to such a charge, and least of all the Hon. Baronet. Mr. HAWES thought it was incumbent on the Hon. and Gallant Member for Brighton, in reference to what he had said of the tampering with the Committee, to give some explanation, and not thus to throw out a general imputation. Captain PECHELL had never intended to throw any imputation. He merely alluded to the circumstance to show what little weight should be attached to these rumours, and how little they were worthy of being brought before the House. He again repeated that he never intended in the slightest degree to insinuate that the Committee had been tampered with. On the motion being put that Mr. Wilcox Cundy be or dered to attend the House on Monday next, Lord J. RUSSELL said that as the character of an Hon. Member was involved he should have no objection. HACKNEY CARRIAGES (METROPOLIS) BILL. On the proposal of the Order of the Day for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. WARBURTON said the question had been so often discussed in Committee upon other Bills, the details of which were similar, that he should move that it be com mitted on this day six months. Mr. Ald. WOOD thought his Hon. Friend had better let the Bill go into Committee as the clauses which were objected to on a former o ccas i on were om i t t e d. Hi s H on. Friend had always crotchets of his own, to which he stuck so closely that he imagined no person but himself was fit to carry them out.—(A laugh.) One of his crotchets had collected together all the surgeons, undertakers, grave-dig gers, and parish clerks—all that was connected with death and burial—in the metropolis.—(Renewed laughter.) If, as was expected, the Police Act should expire soon, the car rying of this Bill would be doubly necessary. Mr. ANGERSTEIN was understood to say that many of his constituents objected to the Bill. Mr. H A WES said that when the Police Act was re newed, better provisions would be made with regard to hackney carriages than those proposed by the Bill, and he therefore hoped the Hon. Member would consent to post , pone the Bill. Mr. WILKS thought the Bill a very necessary one, and hoped the House would consent to go into Committee upon it. Mr. F.':MULE expressed a similar opinion. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the Committee llB Against it... .. Majority The House then went into Committee, and clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. On the 3d clause being- proposed, Col. SIBTHORP said he should move that the drivers of cabriolets should wear a badge or ticket, to distinguish them. HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE. After the Levee the King held a Privy Council, which was attenthid by the Lord President, Lord Privy Seal, First Lord of the Treasury ; the Secretaries of State for the Hcme, Fo reign, and Colonial Departments; the First Lord of the Ad miralty, the President of the Board of Controul, and the Secretary at War. At the Council Plymouth was made a warehousing port for East India goods. A report of the Judicial Committee respecting a decree or sentence of one of the Courts at Gibraltar was affirmed. The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. The King gave audiences to the Marqnis of Lansdowne, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, Lord J. Russell, Sir J. Hobhouse, Sir Hussey Vivian, Lord Hill, and the Earl of Albemarle. The Marquis of Headfort and Sir William Houstoun were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Duke of Sussex is getting well rapidly—the light is now gradually let into his apartment, and on Saturday his Royal Highness had the satisfaction to find that he could distinctly read, the sight of both his eyes being perfectly re stored. About the end of the month his Royal Highness will be able to travel without inconvenience, if he thinks fit to proceed to the country, for the benefit of a change of air. Dr. Quain has resigned the Professorship of Ana tomy in the London University. Various causes are assigned for this step. —Medical Gazette. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—On a recent visit to this Railway, we were much gratified at the progress which has been made during the last month. Should the same activity which now prevails be continued, the line from London Bridge to Greenwich will no doubt be completed in the next month. The bridge over the Ravens bourne is constructing. SABBA TII-BREA KING.--We bring glad tidings to the Sir Andrew Agnews:—Their faithful servants are every where diligently working out " The Better Observance of the Sabbath," as expounded by their great teacher. These la bourers in the Sabbathical vineyard, which the great Saint Andrew himself first planted, are composed principally of that class of respectable men who hire one-horse gigs on Sundays, and who, by the . agency of these machines of destruction, knock down and trample upon multitudes of those sinners who will wickedly persist in walking out on the Sabbath day. We congratulate these active-minded gentlemen on the efficiency of their exertions. A few gigs, driven rapidly through the suburbs by zealous votaries, will do more to pre vent the desecration of the Sabbath than any of Sir Andrew's Acts, or even the Acts of the Apostles themselves could accomplish. The wheats, where the soil is light, and where the ear was formed during the drought, is short in the head, short in the straw, thin on the ground, and greatly under an average crop. On the strong clay soils, cleaned ark.: sown in the back end of last year, the wheats are pretty fair ; but even there exceptions may be found which attest sufficiently the effects of an " untoward" spring. The barleys, from what ever cause, are very unequal—in some places splendid, and in others not even " pretty well ;" yet such as looked worst a fortnight ago have come so wonderfully round, that the pro duce, bulking good and bad together, if properly got in in autumn, will not be conspicuously under a fair average sup ply. Of the oats we can speak in the most flattering terms ; east, west, south, and north, they are most luxuriant, and wear uniformly the deep green hue which is the surest sign of vigorous health.—Newcastle Journal. Yesterday afternoon one of the Highland steamers brought a cargo of .330 barrels of the best quality of new salt herrings to the Broomielaw, part of this week's excellent fishing in the Lochfine, which will bring down the price con siderably in our market, and will be a favourable relief from the present extremely high price of all kinds of butcher meat. The fish, as they approach the spawning time, are fast falling off in quality, and are better fitted for the curers than for being brought fresh to market. Abundance of fresh herrings are, however, still hurried into all the towns and villages on the west coast, as well as into this city, but the new salt—or rather powdered—herrings are in general now preferred. —Glasgow Evening Post of Saturday. Their Majesties arrived in town at half-part one o'clock yes terday afternoon from Windsor Castle. The King held a levee at two o'clock. Count Sebastiani, the French Ambassador, had an audience of his Majesty to leave for a short time.

From the smallness of the field speculation was not by any means so brisk as usual, and the dead heat made it the reverse of profitable to those who had betted round on it. In the first heat Brother to Beiram made play, followed by Fille de Joie and Angelica fillies, the others well up, Venelia lying outside ; at the corner of the plantations Brother to Beiram, Angelica, Fille de Joic, and Venilia, singled themselves out from the other three, ran head and head to the end, and made the finish so nice a thing that the Judge pronounced it a dead heat, and placed Venilia fourth by a neck ; the others were beaten off three or four lengths. After the dead heat the odds were sto 4 agst Fille de Joie,_ 2 to 1 agst B rot h er to Beiram, and 7 to 2 agst Angelica. Brother to Beiram again cut out the work, the Angelica waiting until they began to drop the hill, where she went up, ran with them to the plantations, took up the running, defeated her horses at the cords, and won very cle verly by a length. Colonel Peel's filly was beaten half a length from Brother to Beiram. The other races do not call for any additional remarks.

A pair of horses, which had conveyed Lord Digby from Chesterfield to Newmarket on Monday night, dropped on their return home, and died immediately from distress, occasioned by the heat of the weather. As several horses has suffered in this way, it is hoped, for the sake of humanity that gentlemen will moderate their pace. The Lord Mayor of London, Edward Peel, Esq., M.P., and Colonel Anson, are among the Stewards of the Pottery Races, which commence the second week in August. The Lord Mayor has given 100 sovs. to the Free Handicap, in ad dition to the 10 sovs each. AQUATICS.
