EGAL AFFAIR IN HIGH LIFE. (From the Age.) In a legal affair of no ordinary import, we hear that the irresponsible party, by whose influence and under whose direction his brother is made a plaintiff in the suit, has de termined to proceed per fas aut ne fas, in opposition to the Isdvice of persons better qualified to decide on the merits of the case. It is not our province or our wish to interfere with the Judicial functions of the tribunal that must decide the ques tion I but we are justified in alluding to facts within our Mit knowledge ; and, without betraying confidence, we re peat what we have before stated, that it is our sincere belief that there is no case upon which the applicant can expect a verdict in his favour. If we are right, and a very short time will prove the fact, the consequences must be alike disastrous to the ill-advised and his advisers. Do not let us be misunderstood ; of course the Noble Defendant is not the man to avail himself of any circum stances that honourable-minded men would spurn to shelter themselves by ; but in defending himself from an unjust accusation, he is by duty bound to produce any evidence that may tend to exculpate the character of those who are equally and even more onerously impugned. We will sup pose A charge of this sort to originate in personal hatred to a lady's family, arising havingout of their studiously chasseed, for their ill-behaviour, both her husband and brother—what if it could be shown by a regularly con nected chain of evidence that revenge has prompted and promoted a suit where the principal evidence was that of a discarded servant, whose statement might be four or five years old ! Ought not the defendant, in such a case, to use the most vigorous measures to defeat his adversaries—ought he not to show, if he can, that the lady had been subjected to a long ser i e s 0f ill-treatment and provocations that had more than once compelled her to leave her husband's house and claim the protection of her relations—that the evidence sou g ht to be established was of the most suspicious and questionable character—and, moreover, that the parties themselves were conscious of their innocence? There have been such cases—there may be again ; and it is under this impression that we say no means ought to be left untried to gift and scrutinize the motives and actions of the promoters in all such suits. If the cause is to come on, it is however, better for all Partses that it should meet with as little delay as possible. On 01 ;e point we must put some of our contemporaries right ; at: hough the special jury list is struck, it is not yet reduced, arm' consequently Sir Robert Peel's name cannot have been objeeed to. P.S. Since the above was written, we perceive that an application was made fm Friday in the Common Pleas for a rule to show cause why a Commission should not issue to examine a witness in Dublin. This proves that we are right—they have no case, and they want a fishing Com mission to issue to examine a witnesss, as we hear, a servant of Lord Magrave's. Cause will be shown against this course on Monday, and we trust effectively. The parties ought to have had sufficient evidence to have gone into Court with before they entered their cause for trial and struck their jury—they are now too late in their application. POST-OFFICE. The following are the resolutions to be moved for by Mr. Wallace to-morrow evening :- 1. That it is the opinion of this House, that the recommen dations contained in the Fourth Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the Post-office, presented to this House by command of his Majesty, should be taken into immediate consideration. 2. That it has been satisfactorily established by evidence adduced before the present Commission, and also before the several Committees and Commissions of Inquiry which have Preceded it, that the tendency of the present system of ma nagement in the Post-office, is, to place the important duties and powers, both of control and execution, in a subordinate office, namely, that of the Secretary ; and it is the opinion of this House, that a great public department, so constituted, is neither proper nor satisfactory, and ought to be amended im mediately. 3. That the recommendations contained in the aforesaid Fourth Report, and in the Reports of the various Committees and Commissions which have preceded it, in the years 1788, 1797, 1809, 1829, and 1830, on the management of the Post office department, evidently prove that the office of Post master-General is wholly inadequate to a careful and vigilant superintendence of the many important duties imposed on that functionary ; and therefore it is the opinion of this House, in accordance with all these recommendations, that a Board of Commissioners should be substituted for the office of Post master-General. 4. That the Sixth Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the Post-office, also pre sented to this House by command of his Majesty, demands the immediate attention of his Majesty's Government. 5. That by the said Sixth Report, which specially relates to the Steam Packet Establishments of the Post-office, it appears that very gross mismanagement, neglect, and waste, have taken place in that department, which imperatively requires the gravest censure of this House, and its prompt and effec tual interference. BAIL COURT.-SATURDAY. REX V. PARTRIDGE. Mr. ERLg moved for a writ of quo warrant°, calling I titi Mr. James Partridge to show cause why he filled the Mice of town clerk of the borough of Tiverton. He ap- Plied on behalf of Mr. Hellings and ten other persons, members of the Town-council of the borough. The writ Was applied for on the ground of an undue election, which took place on the 23d of May. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Hoar was the election con ducted ? Mr. ERLE—The members present wrote the name of the person for whom they intended to vote on a piece of Paper, which was folded up, and then put into a hat, and the Mayor was appointed to draw them out, when he stated the result to be in favour of Mr. Partridge. The dis covery was not made until some time after that ten had voted for Mr. Hellings, Under these circumstances he (Mr. Erle) trusted sufficient had been shown to call upon Mr. Partridge to show cause to prove he had a majority 0 f votes. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Take your rule. COMMON PLEAS.-SATURDAY. T HE MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS ACT.—GRANGE V. TAUNTON. A rule had been served on the Sheriff of the city of Yxford, calling on him to return a writ of capias ad satis lcreienduin issued out of this Court, and to him directed; a nd subsequently a rule nisi for setting aside that rule was, °n th e motion of Mr. Henderson, granted. The costs of th e application were also sought. Mr, F. K ELL Y appeared to show cause against the con nitional rule. _ _ The --- 1:0$H CHIEF JUSTICE thought that the Court was b ound to make the rule nisi absolute, but without costs. Rule made absolute. EXCHEQUER COURT-SATURDAY. EDWARDS V. WILLAMS. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage brou g ht by the plaintiff, the daughter of a farmer in South Wales, against the defendant, a Dissenting Minister. It was tried at the last Assizes at Anglesey, before Mr. Baron IJI:RNEY, when a verdict was passed for the defendant. Mr. .TERvis last term obtained a rule nisi to set this ver dict aside and proceed to a new trial, on the grounds of its havin g passed contrary to the evidence and the charge of t he Learned Judge who presided. Mr. Baron GURNEY having read his notes of the trial, Mr. ALEXANDER this day showed cause. Mr. JERvIs, in support of the rule, was stopped by the court. t .Mr. Baron GURNEY said that during the progress of the entertained a very strong suspicion that the jury dui t. clearly comprehend the precise nature of the question w hich they had to try. He was not sure also that the jury 4 tiderstood what he was saying to them. Mr. B aron ALDERSON—That is highly possible. I re tVect once being in the act of addressing a jury in South V' l es at considerable length, when I bega n to entertain an I) ;:ession that they did not understand what I was sa y in g t hem. I accordingly requested that a ll those who under ti -°( . 4 English should stand up in the box, and only one of k i i urY stood up. CHILToN—And yet your Lordship may recollect tti at th a t same j ur y had succeeded in unravelling a most in dineate and complicated question of account in an extraor pand really astonishing manner. bi ci !• Baron ALDERSON — Most extraordinary and asto indeed, to me at least ; even with the assistance of ZY strong charge. tl i : t . r • Baron PARKE —There can be no doubt but th at 11 - , Jury mistook the action for an action of seduction. 7Pe must be a new trial, but upon payment of costs.- 4 Le absolute. E QUITY EXCHEQUER-FRIDAY. BURTON A ND OTHERS V. HARPER. Dti n , • ...TINTON, on behalf of the plaintiffs in equity, the 4 / 4,er, publi s h er , an d proprietors of the C o urier newsp a p er , ith,' o l ed to the C our t f or a Commission to examin e witnesses retie d. An action at law had been commenced by the da. (Igen% the paymaster of the Brit4h forces in Portugal, the4c,,t the late printer, the publisher, and proprietors of 4 t , ‘ " r ier, for an alleged libel upon his character, said to tl wined in an article which appeared in that journal on 1 (1 _ I, `'`h of July, 1835, reciting a certain letter purporting 4 1 4 , 4 ". been addressed to Brigadier-Genera l Shaw b y the 11 4 Saldanha. A bill of discovery had been filed, and Ititli b - „J 4 ,9ction obtained to stay proceeding s till an answer 44 - 7; In. The answer had since been put in, and as the 4 "all should then be dissolved, his present motion was for a commission to examine witnessess abroad, and to ex. tend the common injunction until the return of the corn mission. Mr. RICHARDS, on behalf the defendant, opposed the motion. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the commission ought not to be granted. PREROGATIVE COURT. 1N THE MATTER OF THE LATE MR. WOOD, THE BANKER. On Saturday, his Majesty's ADVOCATE made applica tion for the grant of limited administration of the effects of James Wood, the late banker of Gloucester. It was ne cessary that such a grant should be made, for the purpose of paying out certain sums in the banking-house, to the receiving of rents, and putting the freehold and other pro perty into repair ; and it was proposed that the limited administration should be granted to the Rev. Dr. Muddy, 'the Chancellor of Gloucester. In answer to a question, the King's ADVOCATE said an appearance h a d b een g i ven for Mr. Wood and Mr. Helps, but they had declared they proceeded no further. An appearance was given for Mrs. Goodlake. Sir H. JENNER observed that it was necessary a limited administration should be allowed, and one to the amount of 80,000/. was granted to the Rev. Dr. Maddy, with justifying securities. CITY COURT OF REQUESTS. THE FINE ARTS. Mr. Harrison, an artist, residing in the Edgeware-road, summoned a gentleman named Horsey, o f C amom il e - street, for 21. 25., the amount of his professional fees for a plan upon a large scale, including parchment, of some freehold property left to the defendant and his two brothers. - COMMISSIONER—What objection have you to pay this demand ? Defendant—lt is too much, and the plan was altogether too big ; I don't pretend to know much about the fine arts, but being a hatter, I think I ought to be a judge of the size and proportions of a thing.—(A laugh.) Mr. Harrison protested that his plan was a perfect model of topography. He had drawn it upon regular geometrical principles on a large scale, by particular desire, and he had, moreover, painted the three divisions of the co-legatees in three separate colours, in order that there should be no mistake.—(A laugh. Defendant—As for that matter, your plan was but a copy of an old one that I gave you ; so that I got nothing original but the three kinds of paint which you seem to think so much of. Plaintiff—When I sent in the work, you said it was a real piece of zeography, and that every inch of the premises was as plain on the parchment as if the brick buildings were before your eyes. Then you said 'twas wonderful to what perfection the art of man carried things ; and now when I ask for my money, at the end of six months, for the first time you begin to grumble.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—And pray what might the value of this property be ? Plaintiff—Upwards of 20,0001., Sir. The COMMISSIONER thought the demand of the artist was a very reasonable one, and Mr. Horsey was therefore ordered to pay the two guineas and costs without further grumbling. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Francisco Molaro, a native of Spain, was on Saturday placed at the bar, for re-examination, charged with defraud ing Santiago de los Santos, a dwarf, of 741. The prisoner was discharged with a severe admonition. BOW-STREET. Saturday, George Bridges and Thomas Wright, were charged with violently rushing through one of the side pas sages of Temple-bar, knocking down two women with in fants in their arms, and assaulting several persons, including the policemen who took them into custody, on their way to the police-station. Mr. MiNsHuLL said five assaults had been proved against Bridges, and be should fine him forty shillings for each ; and with respect to Wright, he should fine him 5/. for strik ing the police constable and obstructing him in the execu tion of his duty. QUEEN-SQUARE. THE FRENCH PICKPOCKET.—Louis Breton, a young Frenchman, already charged with robbing Charles Fitz gerald, Esq., of his purse, containing four sovereigns, was yesterday charged with picking the pockets of the Swedish Ambassador and Robert Poulter, of No. 5, Graf ton-street, Piccadilly, of their snuff-boxes, on the night of the 9th of April, of the King's Theatre.—Remanded. MARYLEBONE. Miss Caroline Smith, a young lady of dashing appearance, residing at No. 1, Seymour-street West, Edgeware-road, came before the Magistrates, Messrs. SHUTT and RAW.. LINSON, on a peace-warrant, to answer the complaint of Madame de Boulay, residing at No. 26, Upper Montague street, Portman-square. _ _ Madame bad long been subject to annoyances from Miss Smith, and their frequency increasing, she determined to put a stop to them. On Tuesday last, she was taking an airing in her carriage in the Regent's Park, where she saw Miss Smith, who was in her carriage, and who, on obser ving her, ordered the coachman to draw up at the side of her vehicle, which he did, and she then put her head to the carriage window, and shaking her finger, exclaimed, with an oath, " Mrs. de Bourlay, if I could only get you out of that carriage, I'd give it you ; you are a swindler, and have robbed me of 2001." She became very much alarmed, and ordered the coachman to drive home. Fearing personal violence, she the next morning applied at this office for magisterial interference. Mr. RAwuNsoN should call upon Miss Smith to enter into her own recognizance in the sum of 1001., and one surety in half that sum, for her future peaceable behaviour. A gentleman in the office who had accompanied her stepped forward, and the required security having been given, the parties left the office. PULLING OFF A HORSE'S TAlL.—Saturday Monsieur Von _Veber, a foreign gentleman, residing in the Regent's Park, was charged with assaulting a boy named Smith, who acted as groom. It appeared from the youth's statement that on the pre vious day his master, having taken a peep into the stable, came to him in a great rage, and gave him a tremendous blow on the head, accompanied by divers kicks. He did not know why he had been treated in that way. Monsieur—l'll explain. By gar, he pull my horse's tail off. Mr. RAWLINSON—PuIIed your horse's tail off? Monsieur —Yes, my Lor, he pulled out all de long hair, so dat de animal has only von short tail now, and is quite spoiled and unsaleable. Mr. RAWLINSON.—WeII, you must sell by wholesale if you can't re-tail him. You are fined 2s. 6d. for the assault. , The enraged foreigner then paid the money reluctantly and left the office. BELFAST PETlTlON.—Yesterday evening, the Belfast petition, claiming a reform of the Irish Corporations, upon the principles of election and popular control, was for warded to Mr. Sharman Crawford, for presentation ; and we have the satisfaction and pride of stating that it had received nine thousand seven hundred and three signatures I—Northern iiihig. NATIONAL LITERARY WORK.—His Majesty has been graciously pleased to permit Captain Brenton to dedi cate to him his " Naval History of Great Britain," now in course of publication. The gallant Author is one of the old est officers in the service, having been nearly 40 years actively employed, during which period he has borne a part in many a memorable engagement. Independently, however, of his ex tensive experience, he possesses unusual facilities for carrying into effect this great literary undertaking. In the first place, he has had free access to official documents ; secondly, the great naval heroes who figure in his narrative, with many of whom he was on the most intimate terms, have cordially as sisted him by putting him in possession of a variety of im. portant facts not generally known, as well as numerous pri vate letters, Ex. ; and, thirdly, his skill as a draughtsman has enabled him to furnish some striking embellishments. Such a work, from the pen of a professional writer, faithfully re cording the triumphs of the British Flag in every part of the globe, during the most eventful period of British history-- ushered forth under such auspices --and preferring, altogether, such peculiar claims on public attention, may be emphatically called a national one, and must ensure a hearty welcome, not only from the Naval profession, but also from the great body of 'English readers. It is announced to be comprised in Ten Monthly Parts, at a very moderate cost, with about 20 fine Portraits, and other engravings. Last week a horse, belonging to Mr. Watts, of Winchester, met its death in the following manner. The ani. mal was attached to a four-wheeled chaise, in which were two ladies, on their way to Salisbury. In descending the hill at Week, near that city, it is supposed the carriage pressed on the horse, as he started offat full speed, and when near Flower Down ran up a bank, overturned the vehicle, and dislocated big neck by a violent fall. Fortunately the ladies and driver no sufi injury.—Salisbury Herald.

They were very aptly termed grandes comilones, or great eaters, during the middle ages, and well did they merit the name. Then the number of meals was five, or even six ; and the appetite, we suppose, great er th an i n modern times, The ancient heroes of this country could eat enough at one meal to suffice them a whole week. On one occasion, one of them having vowed that he would take no food until he had obtained some advantage over the Moors, wi t s obliged to wait ten days before fortune befriended him.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 4.—The eight sail of the line at the Nore, Spithead, and Plymouth Sound, arc now ready for sea, but they require a few more men to render them effec tive for hostile operations. The Vanguard, about which so much has been said, is certainly a noble looking ship, hut would be improved in appearance by a little more length ; she has on board 384 tons of water, though it is intended she should only carry 350 to sea, has all her stores on board, with provisions for four months, the bread in bags, and her bread-room would take .500 more bags without starting ; her draft of water is 23 feet 11 inches aft ; and 22 feet 11 inches forward ; her after lower deck port is 8 feet, her midship 7 feet, and her foremost 8 feet 9 inches out of water. Whether this was her predetermined im mersion is not known. The Pembroke, 74, Captain Sir T. Fellowe s , C.B. went out of harbour on W e d nes d ay , , The Stakesby, and Catherine Stewart Forbes, trans ports, are order' :,1 to bring home the Rifle Brigade from 14 „..." 1 ,i1 P ax, and the Maitland, Lieut.

The Moira transport, Lieut. Hay, will take the 85th from Cork to BarbAdoes, and bring home the 19th regiment. The Trinculo, 18, Commander Paget, was paid off into ordinary ; at Plymouth, on Wednesday. The Columbine, IS, Commander Henderson, which has arrived at Plymouth from the Mediterranean, is ordered to fit for the West Coast of Africa, to which station she is to he attached. The Beacon arrived on Sunday from the Orkneys, with newly-raised seamen ; she came into harbour on Monday to be paid off and recommissioned. She was paid off to-day. The Bonetta, Lieut. Bisson, arrived on Wednesday from the eastward, with newly-raised seamen for this port and Plymouth. Ile Beagle, surveying ship, Commander Fitzroy, was at New Zealand on her way to England, 30th December last. Letters received from H.M.S. Larne, dated Porto Ca bello, 31st March, state that they " expect to be in Eng land about the latter end of June." PROMOTION S AND APPOINTMENTS.—NIr. R. L.

IN HARBOUR—Britannia, Excellent, Royal George, Buffalo, Seaflower and Cracker cutters, Maitland, Moira, Stakesby, and Katherine Stewart Forbes, transports. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) The Talavera, 74, Captain T. B. Sullivan, is ordered to the north coast of Spain, and is expected to sail on Tues day next. The Cornwallis, 74, Captain R. W. G. Post ing, was taken out of Dock on Monday last, after having had her copper examined, and with the Minden, 74, Cap tain A. R. Sharpe, C. 8., only waits a fair wind to go out of harbour. The Vanguard, 80, and Bellerophon, are also ready at Portsmouth. It is understood that the Corn wallis and Minden will proceed to Spithead, and that Vice-Admiral Fleming, in the Howe, 120, will take the command of the squadron while the vessels remain in the Channel. The Columbine, 18, Commander Thomas Henderson, came into harbour to refit on Tuesday. It is understood she is destined for the coast of Africa. The Columbine, which is one of Captain Symonds' construction, is repre sented by her officers to be the finest vessel of her class ever built, whether in a gale or smooth water. The Trin culo, 16, Commander Paget, was paid off into Ordinary on Wednesday. The Swale lighter sailed with stores for Falmouth on W e d nes d ay. T he remains of the old Capti vity, 74, late convict hulk (formerly Belleroph on ),. were, on Tuesday last, t a k en from alongside th e Jetty, in the Dock-yard, and towed by the Sir Joseph 'York steamer into Stonehouse-Pool, there to be taken to pieces. The Belleisle, 74, has been taken alongside the sheerhulk this week, and masted. On Saturday, the Netley, tender to the Royal Adelaide, at this port, and the Star packet, Lieutenant Smith, at Falmouth, sailed with provisions and water to the chops of the Channel, for the relief of such vessels as they might fall in with, requiring assistance. The copper on the Bellerophon, 74, which vessel was fitted with Sir Humphry Davy's protectors in 1826, has, after ten Years' exposure to the tide, alongside our Dock yard, been found to have sustained very little, if any, waste or injury from oxidation, thus proving the utility of these protectors in preserving the bottoms his Majesty's ships in harbour, though they have not been found equally ser viceable for sea-going ships, from the impediments in sail ing, caused by the accumulation of barnacles and weeds, which was prevented by the oxidation of the copper. The Lapwing packet, from the West Indies, did not bring a Jamaica mail, the steamer not having arrived in time at St. Thomas's. We are informed that the fre quency of the like irregularity arises from the difficulty of keeping steam-vessels fit for service in the West Indies. Neither the vessels nor the crews seem to be able to endure the combined effect of the natural and artificial heat. His Majesty's packet Scorpion, on the 26th instant, lat. 49. 22. N., long. 6. 33. W., spoke the brig Livel;, of and for London, from Bordeaux, with loss of kre-top mast ; the Captain decline?, the assistance wklich Lieut. Robilliard ofkrecl him. Tlw view schooner Bonetta, Lieut.

'EO7•ARD HUNT.—(From a Correspondent.)— Las'. week a straw , e looking animal having been seen in the fields, near Wheathamstead, Herts, a small party went in search, supposing that it was a deer which had been scared out of Brocket-hall-park. Great was their surprise at finding in a hedge a large leopard, which stole away, followed at a respectful distance by the sportsmen who were only armed with fowling pieces loaded with swan shot. As it was en deavouring to escape it met a labourer at work in the fields, whom it attacked and dangerously wounded, but his life was saved by a mastiff fastening on the leopard, and enabling Mr. Newman Thrale to approach within a few yards and disable him with a charge of swan shot. It was shortly afterwards destroyed, and was found to weigh 14 stone. It had break fasted off a dog, whose head was found. It is not known w h er e the beast had escaped from. We may mention that the able and courageous sportsman is the representative of the ancient family of which Mr. Thrale, the celebrated brewer, was a member. THE IRVINGITES AT BRISTOL.- 7 —W E hear the two " Evangelists "* of Irvingism, who lay claim to the mira culous gifts of the Holy Ghost, following the example of their " Apostles ".• who have " testified to the Bishops," have been waiting on all the Bristol clergy, " to warn them that the judgments of the Lord are immediately at hand," and exhort ing them to leave the Church of England to join theirs, which they designate " The Church !" The denunciation of these deluded men has of course failed, as it ought ; and we learn, that the pretended " Evangelists" with great difficulty replied to the Script ura l arguments. adduced by some of our clergy, and that the production of a Greek Testament abso lutely confounded the claim ants to the gift of the unknown tongue. It is said that the next step of these assumed apos tolical messengers Is to wait upon heads of families to testify to them of coming events I Any attempt of this kind to dis turb the minds of the members of the Church of England, and to withdraw them from the truth as it is in Jesus, will no doubt be vigorously and promptly met from the pulpit by our clergy. The Rev. J. CliffOrd, of St. Matthews, has already opposed the fallacy of their claim to the possession of the mi raculous gifts ; and a sermon on the same subject, we learn, was preached on Sunday evening, the 15th, at Trinity Church, St. Philips's, by the Rev. L. R. Cogan, the curate. —Bristol Journal. * " Evangelists" and " Apostles" are recognised minister s of t h e I rv i ngite sect, officers or Pease g. to s. 29 3 4 :36 d. 5 ,1 00 00 00 00 Q 0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 76 80 76 84 90 co o o 00 220 21 0 21 0 21 0 400 NEWCASTLE MEF;TING ON THE IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL. (From the Tyne -Mercury.) On Monday last, according to a requisition signed by Mr. Sheriff Dunn, Mr. Alderman Headlam, Mr. Alder. man Shedding, Messrs. Councillors Bell and Charnley, meeting of the Council was assernhled, the :rtight Wor as shipful the Mayor in the chair, who expredssed his great pleasure at meeting on this occasion, stud, regretted that he was absent at,the period when the requisition was signei s or the meeting should not have been deferred so 100 hi seven days. Mr. Alderman HEADLAM then rose and said, tit one who had taken the liberty of signing the requiAition whi c h had called the present meeting to take into eAVP:deratiot resolutions. the measure of Municipal Reform in Irelassil, lie - had newt tlt length any obser come prepared to submit to their notice. which r .d had called their slttene He thought it unnecessary - t o make tion, because `," se opinions ah::s sentiments he held upon it vations on the subject were bee' sed the resolutions which he bad -ter e)sprese t ., to n' .;W the honour of proposing. He was not willing thsat he should be considered as raising a discussion on party question ; but on the present occasion the subject was one of paramount importance, and requi'red their se rious consideration. Indeed it was one 'which involved the rights of our fellow-countrymen and the public inte rest so much, that the utmost possible public demonstra tion should be made upon it ; and perhaps there were no individuals more capable of justly appreciating, or l aetter acquainted with the advantages to be derived frora muni cipal corporation, and the local interests and pu . blic affairs, more than themselves. They must be well saSisfied of the important benefits accruing from such a system, and he was sure they could not but regard with regret that any portion of his Majesty's dominions should be denied the same rights which they Possessed. Even-handed justice should be imparted alike to all his Alajesty's subjects. There was no place like Ireland where municipal reform would be more advantageous in removing the injuries un der which she was now smarting, produced by acts of for mer oppression. —(Applause.) It was essential to the good government of that country that she should be in vested with privileges similar to those which we possessed, and that the people might have the power of electing their own local governors, who would become responsible to them for their own affairs.—(Applause.) He was sure they could not but regret the decision of the House of Lords with regard to the Irish Municipal Bill. It appeared that the majority of their Lordships considered the people of Ireland unable to manage their own affairs. They cer tainly did hope at one time that that country was partly conciliated by the passing the Catholic 'Emancipation Bill, but if it was now refrssed to (Trans them mun i c i pal re form on th e ground. of religi ous " difference in opinion, it would be tantamount to an re-enactment of those penal disabilities which the Catholic Bill was intended to remove. They must not wonder then that the people of Ireland should murmur under their injuries. Independent of the principle of common justice and the right of every one in the participation of the laws of the country, it. was the further purpose of Parliament to sanction the removal of all grievances. The House of Commons had now, he was proud to say, acknowledged the wrongs of Ireland, and had. pledged itself that they should be redressed. Had not his Majesty in his speech, declared in words to the effect— " That in case any evils should be shown to exist ira the Municipal Corporations of Ireland, in that case the same remedy should be applied which had affected the reforms in the Corporations of England and Wales." Here then we had the gracious declaration of his Majesty backed by the pledge of the House of Commons.. —(Hear, hear.) It was the duty of Government to regs r d all men alike in the eye of the law, whatever their relissesus creeds might be. It was evident that the proceedings of the House of Lords was against common reason and ; .;ustice, and we could not be astonished that dissension, slziould arise in that country, and that another cry should 'b e raised for the repeal of the Union. There was ano':ner question which he begged to touch upon, and that '-.'as with respect to the constitution of the House of Lards. He could not but admit the re spect winch he I .leld for that House as the first legal as sembly in silo nation, and would be sorry to see it in rimy way inviditl:ated, for it had been interwoven with many glo rious rasa important events in our history, which had heen of great. service and i n t erest to t h e country ; but with regard te, their conduct to Ireland, he could not help thinkits g that any act of unjust legislation on the part of a majority of that body at present would occasion much dissatisfr.ction in the country, and especially on the question now 'Linder con siderations-L(Applause.) The present questirin was one, however long their Lordships thought fit to resist, which would still proceed, for there was a pow'sr in existence stronger than theirs, and which would be * found irresistible both in this and in every other G overnment—b e they free or be they despotic. He was satisfle d that no public body whatever could resist the streresth of publi c op i n i on, when f a i r ly an d open l y expressed .-(Applause.) Mr. H. then concluded by calling on th' e council to express their opinion, observing that they represented the great majority of the respectable classes a t i inhabitants of the town, and their proceedings on this occasion could not fail to have some weight with the LP gislature of the country. Mr. H. then read the Resolutiosis, which were seconded by Mr. Bell. Mr. SPEDDING, iF • a neat speech, moved an address to his Majesty, which 'was seconded by Mr. Sillick. Mr. Lose b e7ged to propose an address to the House of Lords, and. 'said, as it bad just been put into his hands, he thought hr. had better read it to them as an apology for a speech, Mr. L. then read the address, after which be remarked that it was important that the people of Ireland should be confident in the claims of their agitators, and that. they should have no mean pretence to gain situations which ma ny of them were fully entitled to by their talents, and that they should be kept in check by the more moderate party. Ireland, he was fully sensible, ought to be enabled to make known her local wants, and to refuse her rights on the ground of religious differences was unjust. Was there not in that assembly persons of all religious classes of the community?—a n d he was no more afraid of them than he would be of the councils in Ireland. -With those few ob servations, he begged to move the address, which was seconded by Mr. Bargate. Mr. FIFE then rose and said, that lie had just now placed in his hand a petition to the House of Lords, and be presumed it would be in accordance with what had already been adopted. He thought it was almost incredible that any body of men could now be found so rash and ignorant of the present state of things as to place themselves in op position to the power and omnipotence of public opinion. 'llia body of men, be they strti'.4 or g reat, wh o h a d d en i ed not only th e p r i nc i p l e but the, details of the Irish munici- • pal Bill on the ground of their creed, were opposed to what our ancestors had laid as the foundation, and added stone upon stone to British liberty. Monstrous as this was, he still hoped the people would remain. in that tranquillity which now distinguished t h em. He trusted that there was no one to be fou n d to be misled by such men as Sir George Sinclair, or that. the House of Lords is worthy of that re spect which be. Said they were entitled to. Mr. Fife then concluded by reeving the petition, which was seconded by Mr. Charities'. Mr. IlcreGsoN said they could not confer a greater ho nour on the council, than by entrusting into the hands of Earl G rey t h e a dd ress to present to the Lords, to Lord J. Russell the address to the King, and to Wm. Ord, Esq., the address to the Commons. A brief conversation then was entered into by Mr. Ni chol and Dr. Headlam upon the propriety of the present fleeting, Mr. N. contending that a public meeting ought in the first place to he called to know the sentiments, and Dr. H. expressing his entire accordance with such a wish, but only that before a public meeting was held the influence of the Resolutionuould have been lost, because the question would have beer, disposed of. He was yet quite willing that a re quisition should be signed for that purpose. A vote of thanks was then moved by Mr. CHARNLEY to the Chairman, for the courtesy with which he had re ceived the deputation, his readiness in calling the meeting, and for his able conduct in the chair. The Mavon briefly returned thanks, 'by observing that the mere fact of receiving the deputation so cordially was a simple act of duty, and one for which he would be sorry to lay any claim to praise, and if a requisition was presented to him, he would most gladly receive it, and appoint a day of meeting. THE FRENCH PTAINCES IN GERMANY.—Extrac t of a letter of the 2 0 ,".11 ult. from Berlin :—" In all our political circles, and by persons of divers opinions, the two French Princes are t reate d w i th equal respect. Many instances of the extrP:me kindness of our King towards them are cited, and so deeply have they felt it, that they acknowledge his Ma jesty's conduct to be altogether paternal. Eye-witnesses de clare that it is impossible to find more tact, modesty, instrue-. tion, and amiableness combined than are displayed by 0.10 two Royal Dukes, who are everywhere mentioned as mce:tel a of good manners and grace. In the two brothers are di a _ cerned features of their father's character, under the most at tractive form ; great firmness united with an elasticity of cha racter that is truly remarkable. It is thought that the visit o£ the French Princes has not a material object, as several publi. cists would have it believed. The dejeuner dansant of the French Ambassador in Berlin was honoured by the presence of the King and all the Royal Family of Prussia. AI.
