The formal acknowledgment of the principle of Reform by the highest Court of Legislature lu the kingdom, will have a happy and immediate effect on all the commercial and trading interests of the country. Hitherto, every species of mer cantile speculation has been lethargic, indeed all but in a state of absolute paralysis, owing to the clouded and uncertain state of the political horizon, but now that the atmosphere shows symptoms of clearing up, now that a straggling ray of sunshine breaks in th ough the gloo:n, men's minds will be come more confident, and commerce will resume its usual activity. Still it must not be forgotten, that th e second reading of the Reform Bill is Only one step gained for the good cause. Another and severer trial awaits it in Committee. Here will be the deep, the deadly struggle between th e two contending parties. The Ultras, who are veterans in every species of diplomatic i"trigue, will have their whole attention fixed on this one cardinal point. They will try delay, and when delay serves no beneficial end, they will try juggling and trickery, and when these too fail, they will have recourse to downright bullying, following in this respect the example of that perfect master of slang- Pamphleteering, oratorical and—otherwise, the Right Rev. Father in God, the Lord Bishop of EXETER ! But, fortunately, Ministers have it in their power to extinguish the Ultras at a blow. One flourish of the pen, and the whole business is settled. The Anti-Reformers may bid defiance to advice—remonstrance—threats— but they cannot bear up against the Gazette. The Royal warrant for a creation of Peers will be a mine sprung beneath their feet, to blow them all to atoms. And most assumedly, should he find occasion to do so, Lord GREY will fire this mine. He knows the urgency of the case ; above all, he knows that he has gone too far to recede, and knowing this, and feeling besides that his Public character is at stake, he will be promp t W i t h hi s reme d y at t h e twe lf th h our. If the Ultras then have one spark of sagacity left, they wilt forbear all further opposition, and succumb to what cannot be avoided. To con form to circumstances, is not timidity but dis cretion, as to set at defiance the wishes of a united people, is not courage, but obstinacy. As regards the Ultra Reform Bill, whose ban ner, it seems, is about to be unfurled by that weighty warrior, the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, it is the rankest juggle that ever yet was prac tised on any people, in any country, at any age of the world. The Barmecide's imaginary sup per was a substantial repast compared to it. What, when John Bull is absolutely famished with hunger, set him down to a mess of thin oaten porridge ! Oh, fie, my Lord Duke. The remonstrances of the gastric juice are not thus to be set at defiance. A hungry belly will have its will, be the consequences what they may. His Grace's notions of iteform might have been creditable to his foresight, some ten or a dozen years hence; at the present crisis they are worse than ridicu lous. But the Noble Duke is an acknowledged joker, a wag of the first water ; we are not, therefore, altogether without our suspicions that, in alluding to his projected plan of Reform, his sole object was to enliven the dulness of the de bate by some outrageous witticism. Considered in this light, his conduct is no longer inexpli cable; and the wag rises as much above the level of mediocrity, as the statesman sinks below it. Notwithstanding the " strait forward" insi nuation made in the late debate that the KING Was unfriendly to the Reform Bill, we are as sured that the state carriages were ordered to be in readiness, and that his MAJESTY was pre pared, if the second reading had not been carried, to have prorogued Parliament on Saturday in person. We are also aasured that preparations were made, in the like event, for the announce• nient of a creation of Peers in the Gazette of to-morrow night. The Duke of HAMILTON, who lately met with a severe accident when riding, had himself carried into the House of Lords on Friday, and notwithstandin g he endured great suffering, re mained till the end of the debate, and gave his vote in favour of the second reading of the Re form Bill. The majority in favour of the Bill was only nine, including proxies, and had his Grace's accident been more severe, or had he vo ssessed less resolution, the second reading would only have been carried by a majority 01 one of the Peers present. This circumstance, if any thing were wanting to impress on the G; vernment the danger of again leaving any thin,2 to the risk of similar contingencies, will, we trust, induce an immediate creation of Peers, mory especially, as the deadly animosity of the borough mongers against Reform remains, and will re main, unabated to the last. The Paris Express gives a distressing account of the ravages the cholera still continues to makr in that capital. The wealthy and the great are its victims equally with the poor and destitute. M. PERIER, however, is described as being so far recovered that no more bulletins will be issued respecting him. The news from Italy represents the Papal Government as triumphing as well over its turbulent subjects of the Legations, as over the French diplomacy and the French occupa- tion of Ancona. The Moniteur of Thursday contains the Royal declaration respecting the particulars of the interdiction of the territory of France in perpetuity, to CHARLES X. and his descendants. German Papers say—" It seems that the oc cupation of Ancona will now lead to no serious differences, as M. PERIER is said to have pro mised that, except the 1,500 men, no farther re inforcements shall be sent ; that the French troops shall confine themselves to the occupation of Ancona alone ; and that as soon as the tranquil lity of the Papal States is thought to be con firmed, the French troops, as well as ours, will leave them. These accounts have had a favour able effect on our funds, which would have risen higher but for the apprehension of further difficulties, in the affairs of Belgium."— According to accounts from the Hague, the utch Minister of IVlarine has fixed a strict quarantine of fifteen days on all ships coming from places infected by the cholera, and of seven days, on those coming from suspected places : THE HAGUE, Aram 10 —We are in daily expecta tion of the arrival of his Royal Highness Prince William of Prussia from Berlin. By a resolution of the Minister of the Marine all ships from Archangel, Hamburg, and the ports of Germany and Russia in the Baltic, are to proceed to their destination, without performing quaran tine, after a strict examination. All places in the river Clyde, Sunderland, Yarmouth, and all places on the Thames, from London to the Nore, are considered as in. fected. All places on the coast between Dover and the River Tees and Newcastle are to be still considered as sus pected. On the appearance of the cholera in France, and especially in the capital, the necessary orders were given to supetintend and to prevent in the strictest manner all communication by land, whether by means of travellers, goods, or letters ; and, with respect to intercourse by sea, Dunkirk is to be considered as suspected. Calais is in fected ; and all places from Calais to Havre de Grace in clusive, and all arrivals from the Seine are considered as suspected. The time of quarantine for ships from in fected places remains fixed at fifteen days, and from sus pected places seven days. FRANKFORT, APRIL 10.—Letters from Switzerland say that the French Ambassador has assured several deputie , that the Powers who, by the Act of Congress at Vienna, 1815, regulated and determined the internal and external relations of Switzerland will not suffer their decisions to be i.ifringed. It seems to be confirmed that the King of Prussia has refused the request of Neufchatel to be separated from the Swiss Confederation, on the ground that this would be contrary to the treaty of Vienna of 1815, which he was fully determined to maintain. _ _ AIISTRRDAS!, APRIL 13.

PKTERSBURGH, MARCH 29.—The Imperial Court b... gone into mourning for four weeks on account of the death of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandria, daughter of the Grand Duke Michael.—St. Petersburgh Journal, March 31. VIENNA, APRIL 3.—A French courier has arrived from Paris, and it is said he has brought the most satis factory news respecting the affairs of the Roman States and of Portugal. With regard to the first, it is affirmed that the French Ministry is inclined to give to the Pope the satisfaction required, and that in concert with the other powers it will leave a garrison in Ancona only till the Papal Government shall be able to preserve tran quillity in the legations without foreign aid. If the Pope is satisfied with this declaration, the difference re specting Ancona is arranged. The public already con siders it to be so, and the price of our stocks ehews that the preservation of peace is generally believed. The French occupation of Ancona, and the mode of it, are said, however, to be still looked upon with dissatis faction at St. Petersburgh. As to the views of the Paris Cabinet respecting Portugal, it is supposed earnestly to wish that the contest between Don Pedro and Don Mi guel may be terminated without foreign interference. It considers particularly the state of Spain, and the dangers to which its system of Government would be exposed by its interfering in any change in Portugal. France, there fore, in concert with England, would hinder Don Mi guel being assisted by Spain. New changes are observed in the cantonments of the Austrian army. A Russian courier is gone to Naples, it is supposed with fresh instructions from the Russian agent in Greece. Count Von Munich Rellinghaua?n, President of the Ger man Diet, will shortly return to Frankfort. The accounts from the Hague are nut agreeable. The King will by no means yield to the decrees of the Conference, and persists in his proposals, which be considers as his ultimatum. Till they are agreed to, he will not declare his formal assent to reco: t nize King Leopold, and to the separation of Holland and Belgium. It is feared this may delay the exchange of the ratifications, though that of our Court is already gone to London. It is said that the Pope has made the following demands to Count St. Aulaire The French Government shall immediately recall Captain ',gallon and Colonel Combe ; annul the contracts made by General Cubieres for the subsistence of the French troops in and about Ancona, restore all the effects taken front the Papal troops, stop the reparation of the citadel, the erection of barracks, and other works for brtifying Ancona, deliver up to the Papal authorities those individuals who have been withdrawn front their jurisdiction, give an indemnity for all prejudice suffered by the subjects of the Pope from the presence of the French, and lastly, positively answer the question respecting the entire evacuation of Ancona. It is said that the French Cabinet has declared itself in all these points, with the exception of the last, to the satisfaction of the Papal See." VIENNA, APRIL s.—lt seems that the occupation of Ancona will now lead to no serious diff , rences, as M. Pe rier is said to have promised that, except the 1,500 men, no farther reinforcements shall be sent; that the French troops shall confine themselves to the occupation of Ancona alone, and that as soon as the tranquillity of the Papal States is thought to he confirmed, the French troops, as well as ours, will leave them. These accounts have had a favour able effect on our funds, which would have risen higher but for the apprehension of further difficulties in the affairs of Belgium. The latest letters from Belgrade express a hope of the submission of the Bosnians, on the premise of an am. nesty. They positively affirm that the insurgents have sent very moderate proposals to the Grand Vizier; but it is not yet known whether he will accept them. Letters from Alexandria, of the 14th of March, have been received here by way of Trieste, which &peak with entire confidence of the success of the Syrian expedition. St. Jean d'Acre, they say, is so near its fall, that the news ~f it is expected at Alexandria every hour. The trenches are close under the principal rampart, in which a large breach hail been made. Nevertheless, Abdullah Pacha hail rejected a new proposal of Ibrahim Paella to him to capitulate. Preparations were making to carry the place ley storm. AUSTRIAN FUNDS. April 4. April 5.

M►ss KEMBLZ'S appearance as Lady Macbeth, for al , benefit of her father, attracted a crowded house here in, Saturday night. We were prepared, from what we previously witnessed of the young lady'►► abilities, to e,•;. pect an effective performance, and were not disappointed— her conception was admirably accurate. She displayei: throughout a perfect understanding of the nature of that bold bad woman, the stave of evil passions, and the vie. tim of that heart-poisoning remorse which is their issue, depicted by the poet. Her reading the letter in the first scene was admirable; the approach of the bloody notions which her ambition suggests, until all hell is in her heart, was given with great power ; and in her greeting of Macbeth, her love for him, that single drop " o'the of human kindness" which remains in her, was expressed with a very natural and touching grace. The scene in which she urges Macbeth to the murder was not so happy. It wanted force; she did not give full scope to the wild and devilish suggestions which Shakspeare has set down for her, when, her passions having unsexed her, her very words partake of the metamorphosis her soul lias un dergone. The little passage which ensues after the mur der, in which her snore posfessed spirit saves Macbeth from the detection to which his confusion might else expose him, was very skilfully displayed. In the banquet scene, where there is much for her to do, and very little to say, she was remarkably successful. The lynx. eyed caution with which she witched her moody lord, while he is beset by the horrors of Banquo's spectre, her eagerness to prevent the guests from catching any of the wild words which his guilt-haunted agonies make him utter, were marked with a discrimination which proved, as much as more prominent parts of her acting, how well she understood and could deal with the spirit of the part. Her exit in this scene was ex tremely judicious. The last scene, in almost any actor's hands would be terrific, and the best actor can hardly tnuch enhance the horrors of it. All that art can do is to make the sleep appear profound, and the bodily energies but the passive instruments of the waked and working will ; and this Miss KEMBLE did with most accurate skill. The tragedy should be repeated, and as it can hardly be doubted that further practice i❑ is will enable her to overcome more decidedly the difficulties of the part, it would be well for her reputa tion that she convinces the public that we are not without a Lady Macbeth. With this part our commendations are almost at an end. That of Macbeth is not suited for Mr. KEMBLE. Mr. Ws.ans played Ma cduff with great spirit. The vocal parts of the play were executed uncommonly well, and the wholeoperatic force of the company was en. gaged in them. OLYMPIC THEATRE. This Theatre closed on Saturday night for the season. In the course of the evening Madame Vestris delivered the following address to one of the most crowded houses we have seen at the Olympic. It was received with shouts of applause : " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN The last night of our second season having arrived, I again present myself before you to take leave. I might easily do so in the set phrases which custom prescribes; but something beyond custom may fairly be looked for by you, whose custom has been something beyond what could reasonably be expected by me. " In my last address I undertook to win from you an admis sion, that The women are the best Managers after all.' Ladies and Gentlemen, I have won it, and in its most pleasing and substantial form— your constant attendance. " This admission has been freely given; and, the Public Press excepted, it has been the only free admission given for this house. There has been no order in the Theatre, since I became its lessee, but the good order which has characterized the audiences who have done me the honour to visit it. The breath of your approving voices has been my only puff —your applause has been engraved upon my memory, not printed in my bills—and the use of the word ' overflow' has been reserved to describe the feelings of a heart grateful indeed to overflow for your unceasing patronage and support. " It would be affbctation to talk of doing better next sea son. I shall be contnted if we can do as well ; and so, you have taught me to believe, will you. The same style of enter tainments will be presented to you, and they will be acted by the same, or nearly the same, company. Above all, lam happy to be enabled to promise you the re-appearance of him who for six months has here reigned supreme in the kingdom of merriment—of him who is at once a pupil of nature and a master of art. " Devils of all denominations have been struggling for the mastery at the various theatres of the metropolis ; but if the success of a Devil be measured by how much a ' Devil takes,' assuredly ours are the most successful, for our ' Olympic Devils' have taken more than any other. " My last season was only three months—my present has extended to six ; and, however unusual irt theatrical matters, its prosperity has doubled' with its extent. 'rife old adage must' explain it—last year I was only the fortunate Mistress of the Revels ;' this sear I have had ' the Devil's luck and my own.' " Ladies and Gentlemen, accept my sincere and hearty thanks for the kind and unvarying support you have accorded to this establishment ; and allow me to add those of the performers generally. Until October shall again bring us face to face, for the mutual exchange of mirth and good humour, I respectfully and grathfully bid you farewell." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK Wo have no arrivals this morning of ship letters, hut several foreign mails have arrived, and their contents are anticipated by the morning journals. But our private ac counts from Amsterdam are more favourable than for some time past. It is expected by the well-informed in the abave capital, that every thing will be settled without coming to blows. A great deal of Dutch Stock has been purchased. Money is plentiful, and the Government are provided with the expenses for the year 1832. By the French mail this morning, no decisive news has as yet been received from Italy. But it is known that the Austrians still occupy the States of the Church, with the consent of England and France. The French have established a post of observation a few miles from Ancona, and the Austrians are fortified in Fas.enbrone. A telegraph dispatch from Bayonne, announces that the Spanish Government have established a quirantine of 15 days on travellers coming from Paris to the interior of France, as well as on the introduction of merchandise into Sp tin by laud. Accounts from Lisbon state that Don Miguel has issued a degree, that all persons who do not pay in their amount of the forced loan, within four days, will he taxed with double the amount. THE FUNDS. By the estafetie from Paris this morning, very unfa vourable accounts have been received in regard to' the cholera, which still rages with great violence in the above capital ; the private letters represent Paris in a dismal state. The total number of cases of cholera since the commencement up to the I 3th inst. in Paris, is 8,349, and 3,226 deaths. Notwithstanding this awful calamity, the French funds have improved 1 per cent. to 70f. 50c.: it is supposed to he owing to Prussia giving orders to ratify and exchange the Dutch treaty, as well as a telegraph despatch of the second reading of our Reform Pill. Our funds are also on the improvement—Consols, which left off on Sa turday at 84 for the account, opened at 84.4 ; at pre sent 841 for money 84 RALF-PAST ONE.

Up to the present hour we have no further political in formation than what has arrived by the eatafette from Paris. In the Foreign Fund•, Dutch Stock has been done at 43i ; Belgi,in Scrip has also improved ; in otherlsecurities, little or notoitig doing. 7 'MEE 0' CL Cg.

The Easter recess, it is at present arranged, will be somewhat longer than usual—that, in consequence of the long and close sittings during close and very unhealthy' weather, the holydays will be for a fortnight, instead of ten days, the period generally named ;—that, in fact, it will be from Thursday next till Thursday fortnight. On Saturday morning the second reading of the Reform of Parliament (Ireland) Bill was postponed till May 4, and that of the Scotch Reform Bill to May 9. • The subject of the new tragedy upon which Miss F. Kemble has been lately employed is Spanish, some of the leading incidents being taken from a well.known Islay by Lope de Vega. Several of the chief performers at both theatres have declined taking benefits this season, on the ground that the speculation would not be profitable. Saturday the gentlemen appointed to audit the accounts of Covent Garden Theatre held a meeting at the Theatre, when Mr. Egerton made a report, which stated that by the attraction of The Hunchback, and by the liberal support of the public, the Committee had been enabled not only to pay all the salaries in full, but had also paid Mr. Sheridan Knowles for his eminent services both as author and actor. The report, naturally, gave great satisfaction, VICE•CHAN'CERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. ) This being the first day of Easter Term, his Honors• the Vice-Chancellor did not take his seat in hiq Court at Westminster, till 20 minute* before two o'clock, having, along with the other Judges, Masters in Chancery, awl King's Counsel, to bre &fast with the Lord Chancellor. JURISDICTION IN BANKRUPTCY. Mr. KNIGHT applied to his Honour to have several bankrupt petitions set down for hearing without the con sent of the parties on the other side. The Learned Counsel doubted whether, after the judgment his Honour had given on this subject, he would accede to the present application ; but he would state how the petitions stood. They were in his Honour's paper for hearing at the time the ❑ew bankrupt act came into operation, and were petitioi and cross petitions for a new trial, and for the purpose of car rying into effect the verdict upon an issue in bankruptcy directed by his Honour. The question therefore was, whether such petitions would come within the descrip tion of petitions which the Court could entertain without consent. The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion that he could not hear the petitions without the consent of the other eid, being obtained. KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) Before the Lord CHIEF JUSTICE, Mr. Justice J. PARKE, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, and Mr. Justice PATTESON, The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for rules to show cause why four criminal informations should not he filed against the Proprietors of four Newspapers, viz. the Court Journal, the Observer, the John Bull, and the Morning Post, for publishing libels reflecting upon the character of the Duchess of Richmond. The libel appeared first in the Court Journal, of the 18th January, rand although it did not state in terms who the party was to whom it referred, there was no doubt that it related to the Duchess of Richmond. It stated these were rumours of a .painful nature, which they (The Court Journal) feared were but too well founded, had been circulated respecting the elopement of the wife of a Noble Duke, who was a Cabinet Minister with a Captain in the Army. He, the Attorney-General had the affidavits of the Duke and Duchess, and of Lord Templernore, who swore that they believed the paragraph to refer to the Duchess, and they denied that there was any truth whatever in it. The Court would perceive that in the limited circle of a Cabinet, the person alluded to was very soon pointed out. The paragraph was however most fully de nied, and it was sworn that so far from the Duchess having ever withdrawn herself from her hus band's house, there had never been the sli4htest cause for a suspicion of impropriety in her conduct. Two of the Noble Duke's servants, who had lived many years in the family, had also made affidavits, in which they deposed that the Duke and Duchess had always lived on terms of the greatest harmony. He had likewise affidavits to show who were the proprietors of the newspapers against whom the rules were enualit. With respect to the other pa pers the same affidavits were made. The Observer newspaper had made a much more full and complete statement, so as to leave no doubt in the world who were the parties referred to, and they added another falsehood, viz. that the occurrence spoken of was the cause of the Noble Duke's absence from the House of Lords ; on the contrary, he continued his attendance there, and the least inquiry would have convinced the proprietors of that paper of the truth or falsehood of the statement. The libel was introduced into the John Bulbul the succeeding Sunday after its publication in the Court Journal, and added to it that " they had had no disposition to turn this to any political account against her Grace's noble hus band." In another part of that paper something was said of 31r. Stanley being at G , odwood, shooting at the poor pbeas iota of the Duke of Richmond, and that paragraph appeared to have some reference to the statement of her Grace's supposed elopement. The Morning Post con tained a repetition of what was contained in the Observer, a dding that they were grieved to find the statement to be true. Under these circumstances, the Attorney-General trusted their Lordships would grant a rule for the et irsinal informations. Lord TENTERDEN—Take a rule to show cause. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice TAUNTON sat in this Court to take justifi cations of bid and motions of course. In the course of the morning his Lordship said the Courts would not sit between next Thursday and the following Wednesday, and bat the interTediato time woyiniasie..up by sitting "'sit' many days - aftiCite term. BERRY V. DERRIK. Mr. PLATT moved to set aside an attachment that had been issued i❑ this case, and stay all further proceedings. The defendant had on the 31st January, in last term, given notice to Justify bail, but owing to an informality in the notice, the Court postponed the justification until the 4th February; notwithstanding which the plaintiff issued an attachment against the defendant before the 4th February. His LORDSHIP granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Easter term, as usu 11 upon such occasions, the whole of the Judges breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor. At twenty minutes after one they arrived in procession in Westminster Hall, and shortly after took their seats in their respective Courts. The 13 trons who took their seats in this Court were, the LORD CHIEF BARON, Barons BAILEY, VAUGHAN, and BoLLAND. Mr. Baron GURNEY also c,une on the !pencil, but it be ing after twelve o'clock, he could not be sworn in till to morrow. The COURT then proceeded to hear justificatio❑ of bail, and was occupied with that business up till our reporter left. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Shortly after half-past one o'clock, Chief Justice Ttx- DAL, Mr. Justice PARK, Mr. Justice GAsELEE, and Mr. Justice ALDERSON, took their seats on the bench, and proceeded to hear motions. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS obtained a rule to chew cause why an attorney of this Court (whose name did not ap pear) should not be struck off the Rolls. The Learned Seueant slid, that he had already been struck off the Court of King's Bench and the Court of Exchequer, in consequence of his having committed a gross fraud upon - the latter Court. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Judges sat to-day in the Committee-room. No. 12, of the House of Commons, at two o'ci,,ek. EX-PARTE ELLIS AND GOLDSMID, IN-RE SIR GEORGE DUCKFTT AND CO. Mr. Momacio appied to the Court on behalf of the assii, , nees of Sir G. Duckett and Co., under the following circumstances:--They had taken possession, under an order of the Court, of a quantity of Exchequer bills, public securi ties, plate jewels, and other effects, the private property of the customers of the bankrupts, deposited with them for safe custody, paying all hilts, except those in the nature of short bills to the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery. Several of the hills paid into the bands of of the Accountant-General and had been dishonoured, but the Accountant-General declined to return them to the assignees without the order of the Court. They now prayed for that order, therefore, not only retrospectively, prospectively, upon suoh bills in the Accountant- Gencral's hands that might in like 'canna be dis houred.-oa.er made accordingly. THE KING'S THEATRE. - On Saturday night VACA.II'S Romeo e Giulietta was again performed at this house. Generally speaking, it discovers no originality of style, but seems to fall n Aurally into the Itessixr school. There is in it, and throughout, character, considerable spirit, and many sweet passages 01 rnelAY. Thi s was more particularly remarkable in the first than the second act.

The arrivals of last week were more moderate, and there was an improved demand for all kinds of Grain. This morning the fresh arrival is scanty. In the early part of the day the Wheat trade was brisk, at an advance of 2s. per quarter, on the terms of last Monday, but the trade slackened towards the close. The malting season being nearly finished, the Barley trade:remains in the same dull state as lately reported. Beans and Peas meet little demand at former prices. For good Oats Is. per quarter advance has been obtained on the terms of this day se'nnight, and other sorts are rather dearer, but the trade is not brisk. The top price of Flour remains unaltered, and for ship parcels It. to is. per quarter more has been obtained. The weather is fine for growing crops. PRICKS ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) --s. —s.

Our farmers supply of Wheat to-day was liberal, but some of our merchants buying, added to the demand for our regular con sumption, caused a brisk sale at art advance of Is. to 9.5. per quarter, with more doing in granaried parcels. Of Oats there was also a good supply, and sales more ready than last Saturday.

The melancholy fate of Poland is the principl topic adverted to in the Foreign papers :—For three days— namely, from the 3d to the oth of March, the gates of Warsaw were closed, while arrests were made of the young Poles said to be directly or indirectly implicated in the late insurrection, who were sent to Kiow, to be incorporated in various Russian regiments. But another account received In the City by a private letter, states that those young men are sent off in tens of thousands to Siberia, to form colonies to people those dreary regions of perpetual snows and Cimmerian darkness. The pre tended discovery of a new plot is the pretext for this wholesale banishment of the flower of the Polish race, including, it is , aid, not less than :woo persons. Will not a day of Yen ;eance come for this ? There will, as assuredly as " there Is God who judgeth the earth."—E?aglish Chroniole. SPIRIT (IF VIE PUBLIC JOL RNALS. The seconding reading of the Reform Bill has caused very general satisfaction. It has been received as a favourable augury. The people are 'tvell aware that a hard struggle remains be fore the Bill can become law, and that desperate efforts will be made in the Committee to render it as little efficient as possible ; but the extraor dinary exertions made by the Anti-Reformers to have the Bill thrown out, afford a proof that they consider the second reading a serious loss, and what is a loss to one side must be a gain to the other. " My Lords (said Lord Lyndhurst), I know enough of this House to declare, that if this Bill pass through this stage the certain result will be, that there can be no possibility of preventing it from becoming a law of the land." Let us neither over estimate nor de preciate the victory, for victory it unquestionaby is, though not the crowning one. The affecta tion of the Anti-Reform Papers, in wishing to have it thought that the second reading is rather s loss than a gain to Earl Grey, is irreconci-. lable with the strenuous efforts made by the Op position to obtain an instant rejection. If we were to credit John Bull, it would have been better for Lord Grey to have been in the mino rity on Saturday morning. " The Reform Bill (says that Journal) has been read a second time, which point it has reached by a majority of two Peers present, and seven proxies ; and we now fear.. lessly predict that it is ' done for,' and will very shortiv be done witte—and with. it is also dose for the Adrni..-1 4 . nistration of my Lord Grey. " We have no hesitation in stating most.distinctly, that, in the Committee, the whole of schedule R will be ex punged—that the Metropolitan District Members will be got rid of—that the 10/. qualification will not remain as rent,' but will depend upon a rate,' varying according to circumstances—and that the clause respecting the rights of voters for towns and cities having freeholds for counties, will be altered. " As to schedule A, we have never yet understood the magical virtu sof the number 56, to which the Ultra- Radical advocates of the Bill appear to be so much de.- voted; butwe foretell an alteration even in this amount—.. giving, however, from the !Not populous of the boroughs which now compose the list, the right of representaion to the large towns which are, aad ought to be, en franchised. " It, then, Lord Grey consents—or,—what will be the fact—is driven into these changes and mutilations, he loses the only support he at present possesses; that of the mob--go he must—and this we repeat plainly and die. tinctly—for him and his party there is no political sal= vation. " But, say those who talk loudly and know little, Lord Grey well make Peers. Not he !—Lord Grey dare not, and cannot snake Peers. The King has redeemed his pledge—be has fulfilled his Royal engagements to his RE 'sister. The Reform Bill is carried into Committee—and now safely landed, the Lords as they are must constita. tionally and deliberately manage the det sits as they see fit. Any body who attentively reads Lord Grey's reply yester day morning, will find a full corroboration of our declara tion upon this poinr, in the timid announcement, not of what lie would do, if the Bill were mutilated in the Corns. mittee, but of what he would not do—he would not pledge himself to what he should do." So, then, according to the showing of this doughty champion of Church and State, Lord Grey has placed himself, by the second reading, in what is familiarly termed a cleft-Stick. It would have been better for him to have been in a minority, because then he could have insisted on a creation of Peers or resigned ; and who, in the present excitement of the country, would have dared to become his successor ? But the Bill will now be mutilated in such a manner 23. to deprive it of all that makes it acceptable to the people. Whether his Lordship consents or is driven into changes, he becomes popular, and being unpopular, he can be turned out ; if he do not consent to the changes, he cannot help himself, because the King was only pledged to the second read- • ing ; and therefore go he must. Fas est ab hosts doceri. If the Bill was only read a second time by a majority of two present Peers, it is pretty clear, then, that in the Committee his Lordship will be entirely at the mercy of the waverers, who will no doubt always attempt to do that by fraud which they had not heart to do by force. The Bill will assuredly, therefore, be mutilated without a creation of Peers. His Lordship can hardly fail to remark the import ance attached by his opponents to his present popularity, and the ease with which they count on tripping him, should they only succeed in making him unpopular. With the people he is everything ; without the people he is nothing. We trust that he will have constantly impressed on his mind that he can only hope to retain the sup port of the people by refusing to consent to any alterations destructive of the efficiency of the • Bill. We cannot for one moment believe that Earl Grey would think of consenting to such al terations as are indicated in John Bull. That attempts will be made in Committee to effect such alterations is another question, We per ceive, however, that the article is written not without knowledge of the tactics to be adopted by the Opposition. An attack is, we under derstand, to be made on the clause declaring that 56 boroughs shall be disfranchised, on the ground that till it is known what boroughs ought to be disfranchised, it is improper to at tempt to determine the number ; and at the time when this number 56 is brought under the con sideration of their Lordships, they have no knowledge whatever on the subject. The great point obviously is, that 56 boroughs shall be disfranchised ; and if we thought that the whole of the 56 would be disfranchised, we should not he much disposed to haggle about the fixing the number beforehand. But is not the reason for leaving the number unfixed, the expectation al. luded to by John Bull, that the number may be reduced below 56 ? The great point is, that the number shall not be reduced. The Antis reformers will find themselves deplorably mis taken, if they suppose that the people of Englatal • will suffer themselves to be cheated out of the Bill more easily after the second reading than before. So far from it, the more their hopes are raised, the more dangerous it will be to dis appoint them, because the disappointment %%01 be keener. Hence, if there are Lords so foolish as to suppose, that on a third reading, when th e people are in id e a p ossesse d of Reform, they can with impunity dash the cup from their lips, they will soon discover their error. We are pre pared for all manner of trickery in the Comnit aye, but we trust the artificers of fraud will be disappoint • ed. We remember, when the Dukeof Wellington came forward with his measure of concession 10 Ihe Catholics, he enlarged on thr wisdom of making the measure at once large and liberal, as the stopping short of the expectations of the Ca holies would only irritate and provoke them, de prive the measure of its healing character, and inspire them with the desire of making fresh ex ertions, which must ultimately be successful.— What was wise in the case of concession to the Catholics is equally wise now. We can con-. tTive no policy more silly than that of attempt ing to vvithst;-nd the legitimate demands of the people f or an efficei t Reform. Do those :nen who talk of rendering the Bill less 2 tiicient than it ought to be, by expunging the whole of schedule B, and getting rid of the intnropolitait boroughs, think the people will he satisfied with this? Do they wish to perpe
