GERMAN PAPERS. WARSAW, MAY 19.—The Alloenzeine Zeilung of th 4 9th of May contains an article, dated from the Polish fron tiers respecting the National Deputation sent to St. Peters-- burgh, which requires the notice of a Pole. The custom of voluntarily returning thanks for benefits received is not now, at least here, and has not so fallen into disuse among IN as to be considered as an affront. After passing five months in a state of anxious expectation respecting our future fate, every inhabitant of Poland felt and acknow ledged the benefit that he received in the organic statute; foreigners may judge of it as they please. On this ac count no single person or family can be menaced as the author of that Deputation (though M. Luhien.kio, Prince Rodzivill, and others were very active in it), for all the Poles knew what their duty demanded in such a case. 'there was no need of impressing it on them by a military command. The Prince Governor-General was requested to solicit the Emperor's permission to send a National Deputa tion to. St. Petershurgh. The Prince consented to use his in terest on this occasion with that sincere joy and readiness which he always manifests when any good end is to be at tlinee. It is tolis care we are indebted for the preservation of Warsaw from plunder, and for the rapid and astonishing restmatian of toiler in that unfortunate country. To his intervention we are indebted to the amnesty, and for the advantages granted us in the organic statute. With re .spect to the details given in t h e article alluded to, they would deserve no answer, were it not necessary to unde ceive foreign countries. A few words will suffice. In the old palace of the Kings of Poland there is not a single ante-room that is not properly furnished. That the Prince made the deputation wait two hours, and then gave his orders like a commanding officer ; and that he addressed some harsh words to Prince Radzivill in particular, we must, conformably with honour, truth, and conscience, publicly declare to be absolute falsehood and fiction. The deputation, and Prince Radzivill in particular, will them selve9 answer on their return ; they are hound to do so by respect for the nation, whose deputies they were. VIFNNA, MAY 24.—The Duchess of Anhalt Kdethen has arrived here from Rome, and the Duchess of Lucca is gone to Turin. 51. Baron Von Falkenstein, Chamber lain to the Grand Duke of Baden, who was here on a spe cial mission, bas returned to Carlsrnhe. Twelve batta lions of infantry and two regiMents of cavalry are on their march from Galicia to Styria. An English courier brought the news of Lord Grey's return to the Adminis tration. The funds rose in - consequence. We are in great anxiety about the issue of the Reform question in England, and fea that there will be great dissentions in that country. It is very confidently affirmed that the Duchess of Berri is now in France. Many members of the diplomatic body are preparing to quit Vienna on leave of absence, which is an arrangement for the probab!e continuance of peace, and of the existing state of things. Several Austrian regiments are to be assembled on the frontiers of Tyrol, but most of our troops have left tl.e Roman territory. Nothing is yet positively determined about the time of evacuation of Ancona, as the first Swiss enlisted for the Roman Government will not arrive at Terrara be fore the 15th of June, and are then to be organized by the Colonel Baron Sails. It is said, the Porte insists on the evacuation of Algiers, and that it has addressed a note to Sir S. Canning, in which it declares that the final issue of the pending nego tiations, respecting the boundaries of Greece, depends on that evacuation. The present state of Greece is repre sented as very deplorable. The negotiations respecting the affairs of the Republic of Cracow are near to their conclusion ; so that it is likely we shall soon have some information on the subject of that State. The Commis sioners of the three protecting Powers have daily confe rences, and are in constant correspondence with the Se. nate cl Cracow. All the Polish officers who have hitherto rvntrined in the Polish territory, and have declined the amnesty offered by Russia, will soon leave these states to go to France. VIENNA, May 25.—Five per Cents., 87 7-16ths ; Four per Cents., 771; Bank Shares, 1140.—A/igen/eine Zeitung, May 30. VIENNA, MAY 22.—1 n the damp and cold weather of the last few weeks we had again some fatal cases of cholera. Three such cases were in the list of deaths pul - limbed yesterday. The health of the Duke of Reichstadt has unfortunately become worse of late. It is feared that the seat of the disorder is in the windpipe. The public feel greatly interested in this amiable Prince, and perhaps for that reason think his case more dangerous than it really is. —Frankfort Papers, May 29. The following anecdote is taken from the AfftLig Magazine. —The reply is a just and proper re buke to the observation, if it was made, but we confess we have doubts on that point. One of the FITZCLA • FNCFS, who holds a high rank in the 7th Fusileers, hap pened to be dining with the mess of that Regiment, when the Adjutant, a gentleman who had not acquired that dexterity and vrecision in the art of carving, which, among other impr;rtant accomplishments, are possibly essentials to complete success in certain of the higher walks of life, was called on to perform some anatomical ceremony of the table. The deficiency of the non-pro fessor of carving caught the eve of the cultivated and Court-bred Colonel, who judged it gentlemanly to display some contempt for a person so sadly wanting in the grand ait of dissection. Some particular instance of failure at last prompted him to say, with a flippancy worthy of the folly of the sentimi nt, " My father says, that lie considers excellence in carving to be the criterion of the habits of a gentleman." The insult was not suffered to pass without its reply—for, quietly pausing in his labour, and signifi c•antly fixing his eye on the Colonel, the unpractised carver inquired—" And pray, Sir, what might be your mother's opinion upon that head ?" . "17he palm, in the countries where it grows, has been the symbol of triumph in ancient and modern tltaes. The triumph which is commemorated on Palm Sunday is the peaceful entry of Christ into Jerusalem. This festival was observed with much solemnity in the Catholic times in England, and the people were accus tomed tg) make a procession, hearing boughs of blossoming willow as most resembling the fan-like branches of the palm. An old writer on plants says, speaking of willow, " The blossoms come forth before any leaves appear, mph are is the most flourishing state usually about Easter, .iivers gathering them to deck up their houses on Palm .=;ar.rlay ; and therefore the said flowers are called palm." The ;late-palm is in many respects one of the most valu able trees of the East, affording sustenance to an immense population, and cheering a sterile region - with its beauty. MECHANICAL CURIOSITIES.—Having °e rasion the other day to visit the Civet Cat, in Lord street, we were politely invited to inspect two ,great rz ri ties, a musical box, of unusual size and brills sky of tone, and a beautiful snuff box, which being wourrf up f . exhibits A mechanical bird of exquisite shape and.brilliant;plumage. The fairy bird is about an inch in length,. the heal: about one-eighth of an inch, which opens and shills as natural as in the living bird. The notes it ,z4f.ters are singnarly beautiful, arid are in imitation ofithAte of the canary, lark, nightingale, and thrush. AA.lit2 warbles deliciously it turns about its pretty little:fieia, and claps its beautiful wings, and it is, altogetheone of the most exquisite little mechanical toys evet'Vroduced by human skill. The gigantic musical box, ecir so we must call it, compared with all others we have sten, measures 22 inches by , and plays in most brilliant style these airs—Overtures to Obe ron, Coradono, Othello, and the Barber of Seville. Liv erpool Chronicle. THE CHOLERA.--ft has been found expe dient to open the Cholera Hospital at St. Bury's again. The disease on Thursday gave 44 new cases and 11 deaths, and yesterday 42 of the former and Bof the latter. The exertions for the general safety must not relax—it is quite essenti.l that they be persevered in as strenuously and ant duously, as in the commencement. The progress of the cholera among the lunatics is represented to be melancholy —the wretched sufferers not understanding their condition, and generally refusing the assistance by which alone they could be relieved.— Cork Constitution. EXECUTION OF A FEMALE.—Yesterday, about one o'clock, Margaret Gunning, who was found guilty at the last Assizes of a conspiracy to murder JAMES SHORT, underwent the awful sentence of the law. She was attended with the greatest assiduity and kindness, by the Rev. Mr. BRENNAN, and her conduct to the last mo ment of her existence was firm and edifying. Before her appearance on the scaffold, she conversed with the High Sheriff, and took an affecting leave of her husband ; to both she openly and unequivocally declared her innocence of any participatio% in the crime for which she was about to suffer death. When she came before the vast multitude assembled in front of the gaol, she did not appear intimi dated, but, in a collected and firm tone, protested her inno cence. She then turned to the Rev. Mr. BRENNAN, and requested that he would direct that she would be as gently as possibly used by the executioner ; anci having spent some time in prayer she was launched into eternity amid the sighs and tears of the numerous spectators, who evinced much commiseration for her unhappy fate. She was rather a handsome woman, no , ; quite middle-aged, and had been reprieved on the supposition that she was enceinte. Some benevolent individuals exerted themselves, but in vain, to procure a commutation of her sentence. Her body, after hanging the usual time, was given to her friends,...

HO USE OF COMMONS, Ju vE On the motion of Mr. DUNDAS, the Edinburgh Police Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of Mr. BAH.LIE, the Bristol Compen sation Bill was read a third time and passed. New writs were ordered to issue for the borough 0 ! Caine, in the room of Mr. Macauley; and for the borough of Cricklade, in the room of Mr. Robert Gordon, who have been appointed Commissioners for the affairs of India. Mr. STRICKLAND presented petitions front the townships of Heptonstall, Stansfield, Hitchley, Erring dale, Wadsworth, and another the name of which we could not learn, all in the parish of Halifax, complaining of the proposed boundaries of the new boroughs. They stated that the Bill confined the representation to a town ship which consisted of only 15,000 inhabitants, and they prayed that it might be extended to the whole parish. which would ioolude a representation of about 100,000 persons.—The petition was ordered to be printed. Sir R. FERGUSSON presented a petition from certain females of Nottingham, praying for an abolition of Colo nial Slavery. Also petitions from Nottingham against the Registry of Deeds Bill ; and one from Kirkaldy, in favour of Reform. Mr. GRAT'f AN presented a petition from Dublin for an alteration in the police system of that viiy. The Hon. Member stated that the multitude of wretched pri soners iu the gads, where they were obliged to lie until it suited the convenience of the Honourable Member the Recorder (Mr. Shaw) to attead his dirties in Dublin, occasioned a great expense, and a considerable increase in the burdens of the city. The Learned Recorder ought to be at his post performing his official duties, instead of being in this House ; but he hoped that that inconveni ence would be remedied by a Reformed Parliament. Mr. SHAW complained that the lion. Member had not given him notice of his intention to present the present pe tition. He should not, however, receive from him a lesson as to how he was to perform his duties—(llear) either in that House or elsewhere. With respect to grand juries, the Honourable Member had wholly mis represented the facts. lie lamented as much as any man that the same persons should so often per form the office of grand jurors, but he believed it arose from the unwilliugness of persons to accept onerous duties. With respect to the poor, nobody deplore d more than he did the poverty of the city of Dublin ; the Honour. able Member had recommended him to relieve its poverty by appropriating part of his income. Now, in answer to that, he must state that as great a portion of his income was devoted to charitable purposes as that of the Hon. Member, and he had done so without distinction or reference to party.--(Hear.) With respect to the state of the prisons, he admitted they were bad, and he had taken every opportunity of bringing that matter for ward. The Honourable Member had stated that in consequence of his absence from Dublin, persons were confined in prison much longer than during, the time of his predecessors. Now the very reverse was the f:'ct ; for, by the returns during that period, individuals were much longer in prison than at the present moment. He had never suffered his duties in that House to interfere with those of the situation of Recorder of Dublin. There was no department of his Court in which there was a single case in arrear. What, therefore, the Hon. Member had to complain of he could not tell ; but this he could assure him, that if he had not a seat in that House, he should not long hold the situation of Recorder.—(Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL did not think the Recorder deserved the charges that had been made against him, and he could not but think that his Hun. Friend opposite was under a mistake, in attributing what he had done to the Learned Recorder.—(Hear.) He bore testimony to the state ments of that Learned Gentleman, that there were no arrears in his Court ; he could not but designate the gaol of Dublin as a tremendous job from the beginning to the end, and it was not a fit place for a hog--(Laughter) —much less a bunion being. He trusted his Hon. Friend opposite would turn his attention to the Dublin Police Act, as he concurred fully with the petitioners in what they stated with respect to it. Alter a few observations from Mr. GRATTAN, Mr. SHAW, and Air. LEADER the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. GRATTAN presented a petition from a parish in Ireland against the Tithe System. Lord KILLEEN supported the prayer of the petition. Lord COLE presented a petition from a parish in Fer managh, against the grant to the College of Maynooth. Captain GORDON presented a petition front Dumfries, against the new plan of Irish education. Also petitions to the same effect from Dewsbury, in Yorkshire ; Rath eooney, in the county Cork; and Glasgow. Mr. DIXON said, he considered any petition coining from Glasgow was entitled to his attention, arid, if possi ble, to his support. He did not object to any portion of the people of Glasgow making their sentiments known by petition to that House, but the petition now presented did not state facts. The Bible was not to be a sealed book to the people of Ireland, as the peti tioners appeared to have been led to believe. That bad been denied over and over again. Mr. A. JOHNSTON did not feel that he would be doing his duty to his constituents if he did not declare that the people of Scotland were as able to come to a just con clusion as any Hots. Member in that House. Captain GORDON, in answer to the Hon. Member for Glasgow, must say that the plan, as proposed by the Government, was a virtual exclusion of the Scriptures from the people; and though there was a permission to bring in the Bible to the school-room on certain days, still that only depended upon the fact of whether the local instructor was a religions man or not. Seeing the Honourable Secretary for Ireland now in his place, he wished to know from hint whether those rumeurs which had agitated men's minds upon this subject, were true or not. He understood that a corre spondence had been carried on with persons in Scotland, both lay and ecclesiastical, upon the subject, and it bad been stated in the General Assembly by the Solicitor-General far Scotism', that the Government would have no objec tion . teoSi:riptoral classes being formed in the school for Protestant scholars. Mr. STANLEY was sure that the House most now he tired of this subject. However, he had no hesitation in saying that such a correspondence as that alluded to by the Honourable Member had taken place. The state ments contained in that correspondence were certainly the same as .his repeated declarations in that house, that classes iur the Scriptures might he formed in every school, -:to which the Protestants might attend, but that class should be held either before the school commenced,, or after several hours, in order that Roman Catholic parents might have a security that their children would .not be forced into these classes. Their 'explanations' in the correspondence bad satisfied those gentlemen of Scotland who had taken an interest in the subject, and he was sure they would satisfy every man but a religious bigot, or one who wished to make this subject the cover for political animosity.—(Hear.) Mr. SHAW disclaimed being either a bigot, or that on any occasion he had been influenced by feelings of a political nature with respect to this subject.—(Hear.) He objected to the plan, because the Protestants were obliged to read the Bible in a sneaking and secret manner. Mr. O'CONNELL said, if the Learned Recorder should not be called a bigot, he was afraid he must he charged with something worse—with a wish to prolong the ill feeling between Catholics and Protestants, by excluding them from being educated together. Sir R. BATESON stated that many individuals of con sideration had already expressed their disapprobation of the system, among whom iniL:ht be noticed the Presbyterian Synod of Ulster, who said it was contrary to their tenets, and they would not recommend any children of their con gregation to attend the schools. Sir F. BURDETT said, if the system was intended to be one of national education, there should be such an ar rangement as would prevent the Catholic from being su perior to the Protestant, and vice versa, and he did not see how that could be accomplished better than by the plan proposed by the Government. It would tend to di minish rekious animosity, and introduce harmony between the parties. After a few observations from Sir R. Isous and Mr. A. JOHNSTON, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. WYSE said it was his intention to have brought forward a motion respecting the Diocesan Schools in Ireland ; but in order not to interfere with the time of the Rouse, and to further the Scotch and Irish Bills of Re form, he would postpone his motion to Thursday, the 2lst instant. Mr. J. WEYLAND postponed his Bill to consolidate and amend the laws with respect to Licensed Victuallers till next Session. Mr. PORTMAN rose to bring forward his motion re lative to the detention of John Capes at Jersey, when Mr. LAMB requested him to postpone it, as he was in hopes the complaint would be remedied without any dis cu,sion. Mr. PORTMAN could not consent to postpone the motion unless he clearly understood that Ministers would lay on the tables of the House all papers necessary to eluci date the transaction. Mr. LAMB said that all the papers necessary to eluci date the transiction should be laid on Vie table. Mr. PORTMAN then consented to withlraw his motion. Ml'. H UME moved for a return of the names and rank of every person now employed in the diplomatic 6er Ace, statim.l. the date of his first appointment, and tin everal offices be has held, and the actual period of service Nom], and each rank; also a statement of the salary , and Alawanees each received at the present time for the office ie now held.—Agreed to. Mr. DITNCOMBE moved for returns relative to the icensing of theatres. THE LORDS' AMENDMENTS OF THE REFORM TITHES. ( Abridged from the Pilot.) On Monday last, pursuimt to notice, the Rev. Arthur Preston, Rector of Kilneague, commenced selling by auction various lots of cattle and sheep, iistrained for arrears of tithes. Around the church, and the village pound, was posted a strong party 01 police, in number about 500. About the place were also two squadrons of the sth Dragoons; a like number of the 10th Hussars ; several cornpa flies of the 50th infantry, and several companies of the 42d : and the hill over the church was crowned by two brass 24 pounders, with the improved ele-, vations and ranking apparatus all offieered. If ever; a sale was public, it was this. Upwards of 20,000 men, from every parish for 25 miles round, attende d at the place of sale, whilst the hills around were! actually a dense mass of animated beings. At half past eight o'clock the auctioneer made his appear-,. auce amongst the bayonets, on the wall, to say— " ilfister Preston, gintlentill, will take a good secu rity for his tide, and let yes have the cows agin, so: he will." Here the orator paused for a reply.; " Never ! No Tithes I" roared a mounted farmer: on my right. " Never, never !" echoed the eounti less thousands. So the sale began, in a circle, formed amongst the people, with much difficulty, by, the exertions of the priests and some gentlemen Lot 1 A fat cow, value £:4 10 0 sold flu- 3s. 2 One ox 3 A fat cow `, 0 0 4 One ox 5 A heifer 3 0 0 A cow 5 0 0 7 ,Four heifers 8 Ten fat sheep lO 3 3 124, 9 Ten ditto, ditto... 15 0 0 l2s. lu Sixteen beautiful • fat sheep lt 0 0 l3s 'I, All branded with the word " Tithes."

Not the smallest dispo sition to riot was exhibited by the immense num bers who continued to arrive long after all had con chided. The Rev. Messrs. Dunn, P.P., Waters, and Brennan, together with other gentlemen, whom the people have been taught to look up to as their real friends, impressed subordination on their minds. The troops marched home hungry in the evening, and the soldiers joined in the cheer " Nu Tithes." THE MARKETS. C:)IINTRY CORN MARKE'T'S DURING "IHE WEEK. Per Quarter.

A regulai&l habit of looking beyond our im mediate situattns is justly considered the parent of all laudable enterprises. But the habit must be regulated, and strictly regulated, or it will become the source of mi series and criine. The secret for its regulation may be strongly expressed. He who pursues a future happiness, prosperity, and honour, by the right path, does not cast away the good in his possession, nor neglect the duties which lie before him ; but he endeavours to shape them by slow de grees to that model of perfection which his feelings or his reason have set up. On the other hand, he who views some distant object of desire, without connecting it with his immediate obligations, neither attains the blessing within his reach, nor approaches a single step to the ideal good ; he has cast away the link which connects the present with the future.

The points on which the Lords have amended the Bill are not such as to call for any lung con sideration, or to raise any doubt as to the agreement of this House in those ameridrnenta. One of the first and most important (for there are not many of those amend ments that are important) regards that clause introduced by the lion. Member for P.odinin, for the purpose of pre venting the future creation of freeholders for life, which, in other words, was to prevent the manufacture of votes for political purposes. It hay appeared to the House of Lords that this clause was too restrictive, and that it would forestall the rights which some bona fide freeholders would otherwise have. Their Lordships have, therefore, inserted this by way of exception—" Except such persons in the ac tual occupatio❑ of lands and tenements, or except such as come by marriage settlement, devise, or promotion to any office." Now it is obvious that these exceptions will open a very wide door, and. I myself doubt whether it will not be fund too wide, and whether the intention of the clause will not to a certain extent be defeated by the exception. How ever, I think it an alteration in which this House has no alternative hut to agree. Their Lordships have also made alterations in some parts of the Bill, with reference to the right of voting for counties. Where we said that the property ought to Le of 101. value to the holder, it ap peared to their Lordships that the words) " to him" ltd into some sort of difficulty, and that it might be contended that the holding was of the value 101. to the particular individual, although not to any other person. Their Lordships have expunged the words "to him." In this instance it may be a matter of doubt whether the amend ment has at all improved the Bill ; but at the same time, as it appeared to their Lordships that the bona fide cha racter of the voter was assured without these words, I cannot see any objection in our coinciding in this amend ment. The next alteration is an important one, having reference to the 101. clause and those which belong to it. After the words " warehouse or shop," their Lordships have introduced the words " or other building ;" and have likewise introduced the same words in that clause which says, that if a person occupies a house, warehouse, or shop, by which he acquires a right of voting in the borough, i❑ that case he shall not be entitled to vote for the same possession as a freeholder. It cannot be denied that the consequence of the introduction of these words is the extension of the franchise. It was thought when the Bill was in this House that the confining the franchise to certain known designations, such as houses, with the subse quent extension which was adopted of warehouses and shops, would have the effect of excluding persons possessing mere outhouses or stables, and who did not come under the character intended to be given to the 10/. voters. But, at all events, I must say that I am glad to find, that in dealing with this 10/. clause, their Lordships have resorted to ex tension instead of diminution—(Cheers) —and in this spirit I trust that the House will be willing to adopt the clause as it now stands.—(Cheers.) In another clause, which stands page 10 in the printed Bill of the House of Commons, there are some words referring to the landlord being liable for the payment of the rates, and the word " alone" is introduced to signify that both tenant and landlord are rated by that clause. Whether, however, that would be the effect of the word " alone" there, may be doubtful ; but, however, this their Lordships have altered. Ido not think that there are any other altera tions of importance, as far as the qualification is concerned; but there are some with respect to the registration, one of which appears to me most useful and judicious : it is to the effect, that if a person sends his name to the overseer, and the overseer omits to take notice of it, that person shall have the power of going before the barrister, and proving that he sent his name to the overseer. There is some alteration likewise as to the correction of the regis ters, with respect to the Christian name, place of abode, and qualification of the voters. According to the Bill as it now stands (and 1 think that the amendment is a very proper one), a person whose name, after being sent, has been mistaken in any of these particulars, has the power of proving before the barrister the corrected l'orm in which he ought to be inserted in the list; hut if lie does not so come forward, the defect in form will operate to the expunging of his name from the register. There is another very important clause which has been added to the end of the Bill, and which refers to the time for making out the lists for the present year. As the Bill stood, certain notices were required to be given on the 20th of June, and the commencement of the machinery, of the registration was to take its date from that day : but as it is probable that the Boundary Bill wi►l not have passed through Parlia ment by that time, and as it is uncertain by what day it will have passed, this clause has been introduced for the purpose of enabling his Majesty, by an order in Council, to fix other days and dates for putting in operation the regis. tration for the present year. Considering the position in which we now are, and that the Boundary Bill is still be fore the House, it was thought not safe to fix any certain period for the commencement of the registration, as that Bill must first pass before any day can be settled, and as it would also be the means of encumbering the Bill with a ❑umber of dates, which will be utterly useless after the ex piration of the present year. Of course, those who ad vise the Crown will take care that means are afforded to every one connected with the voting to have a convenient opportunity of knowing what their business is, so that the lists may he accomplished without depriving any one of his vote. Such, Sir, are the chief alterations which the House of Lords has made in the clauses of the Bill ; and there are also verbal corrections which were thotight ne cessary for the purpose of making the Bill more clear. With regard to another part of the Bill, viz. the schedules, I a m happy to say that no alteration whatever has been made in them. The disfranchisement and the enfranchise ment are as extensive as when the Bill went from this House—(Cheers)—and we may therefore have the satis faction of feeling, that whatever benefits the Bill was ori eiaally intended to confer, there will be no diminution of those benefits by the alterations which have taken place in the Bill, since it was last in this House.—(Cheers.) I have in conclusion only to move, that their Lordships' amendments be now read a second time. Sir E. SUGDEN thought that it would have been bet ter if the House had been called to fix the date for the commencement of the registration in the present year; cut considering the power to which it was proposed to de legate that authority, he would not insist more fully on that objection. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, after animadverting on some of the verbal alterations made in the Bill, proceeded to say that he meant to call the atten tion of the House to the means which had been adopted to secure the passing of the Bill. Tise Bill had not only come back from the other House—it had come back with out one objection to it being removed, or one alteration baying been made in it in the other House even to meet thoughtthe vi e w so s of meotfhoi its p l.le r ( I ,v m i s i b o e n r of the ss ought t Gboevreerentmi rectified. who .H e o o b p le in a i n e i n l L t e h a a l t me l ( i l e L e ( o ir u d ld at ii t e h t e a h g e r a e d e nciples of the Bill, w hi c h ev id ent l y r oft' d a o ot t ni eed himselfot l i f i ats t vi ii e e helee l x: O pri 1 / dr . ienst f gsi r ' a ePa n riN c l hise.

To be quite certain on this point, he had consulted the usual authorities to which they had re course, and lie found that the Noble Earl had said, after stating that he could n ot consent to any al terations in the principle, " that it does not depeni: on me, it depends on your Lordships." The Noble Earl also said that " their Lordships would have power to make alterations." If there were any meaning in language, those words had pledged the Government to leave the Bill to the free deliberation of the House of Lords ; but how that pledge had been kept the country should now Lear, and posterity would judge.—(llear, hear.) When it was proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman near him in the House of Commons, that enfranchisement should precede disfranchisement, the Noble Lord opposite said it was nut a matter of much imp or t ance; an d t h oug h th e proposi tion was resisted, it was not vital to the Bill. Why, then, was it made so much of in the House of Lords ? in that !erision, indeed, there was an important principle at asue ; for, by striking at the boroughs as a nuisance, the) I -truck out a part of the Constitution under which the hest laws were made that now governed the country. W as ii sight, then, to disfranchise first? Was it right to insist upon that form as essential to the Bill ? Was it right, nn that account, after the I li-t e e rt had been given, to throw up the Govarnitteot, awl force on a deci• sion that was so hosti e to the Constitution ? Tin Honourable and Learned Gentleman next adverted to a letter which had appeared in the Times, and which had been furnished, he said, by an individual who was in communication with the Government—he meant Colonel Jones. The knowledge which he had acquired of a letter written by a Noble Individual to the King could only have been obtained from a Government office. That letter was obtained by Col. Jones from a Government office.—[Lord Altliorp was understood to deny this across the table.] It came from a Government office, and he was ready to state what office it came frorn.—(Name, name.) The only difficulty he had in naming the office was the question whether lie was justified, after the denial of the Noble Lord, in taking that opportunity of fixing the office ; but it was his belief, and he would say is now his belief, but for the statement of the Noble Lord, that the letter came from an office of the greatest importance in the adminis tration of the Government, and that letter was commie nitrated to Colonel Jones. Colonel Jones was a gentleman well known to the House, and was a candidate to repre sent one of the new metropolitan districts, and he had lately made a speech at Blackheath, in which he used sonic observations that were worthy of the attention of the House. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman quoted a part of Colonel Jones's speech, in which be said, " that he had last week addressed an assembly under very different circumstances, and he had then to tell them that there were guns planted upon the heights to overawe them ; but that a few of the people would die, and then that the guns would be in their possession. He thanked God that he spoke to them under different cir cumstances, and that no heart then ached at the change but that of a soldier, who was ready to sacrifice the liber ties of his country to his guilty ambition." The gentle man aspired to represent one of the new metropolitan boroughs, and he said that guns were planted on the heights to overawe the people, and that a few of them only would die, and that then the guns would be in their power. But if the guns were placed there, by whose orders was it done but by those of the Government—for the security of the people themselves, and to prevent outrage and riot ? Statements of that kind were the means that were employed to excite the people. [The Hon. and Learned Gentleman also referred to the statements which bad appeared in the papers, of troops marching to over awe the metropolis, and complained that no contradiction ever appeared of those statements, but they were suffered to do their o ffi ce o f ex citing the people.] He would next appeal to the House if there could be any thing more unconstitutional, more illegal, than the refusal to pay taxes? But to that uncon stitutional and illegal means the Noble Lord, the Member for Northamptonshire (Lord Milton) seemed to make him self a party. A paragraph appeared in the Times on the 24th May, which stated that the Noble Lord was one of those who would not pay taxes, for he had told the tax gatherer when he came for taxes to call again.—[Lord Milton assented, we believe, to the statement.] Did the Noble Lord adopt that description of his conduct as accu rate ?—(Hear, bear.) He would say that a more illegal or mere dangerous sentiment never was entertained. The Noble Lord was a man of high authority, in possession of great wealth, and he ought to set an example of obe dience to the laws instead of resisting payment of tassel, tak ing away from Government its strength and rendering its arm powerless. The Noble Lord would take away from the King his power to carry on the Government and defend the property of the subjects. To enter into a consbination to refuse the payment of taxes was a most illegal act, and nothing could be more illegal or more dangerous. For his situation he paid a great deal to the state, and he re ceived nothing from the taxes; but he should think him self bound to give his last shilling in payment of the taxes. He never would resist the law. He was not aware how any Government could possibly stand against such shocks. They must overthrow any Government; and it was the duty of all ranks and classes of good subjects to discountenance all such proceedings. He was sorry that he did not see the Hon. and Learned Gentleman present—the Master in Chan cery and the brother of the highest legal authority—because he meant to remind him of a speech which had been at tributed to him. That Learned Gentleman ought to be particularly cautious, because, in spite of his protestations, in spite of all he could say to the contrary, it would be supposed that lie spoke the sentiments and wishes of the Noble Lord. He ought, of all men, to be careful in making any declarations. He did not himself assert that the Honourable and Learned Member spoke the sentiments of the Noble Lord—he dis claimed any such opinion ; but he said that the world in general would suppose that was the case. The Hon. and Learned Member was represented to have said, that it was illegal to combine to resist the payment of taxes, but that any individual, when he was asked for his taxes, might tell the tax-gatherer to call again. . Such lan guage would be considered as giving the sanction and example of the Noirle anti Learned Lord to such illegal conduct. If the Hon. and Learned Member who made this statement, and who was bound to know the law and obey it, would advise the people to break it, what could be expected of the people themselves ? It could never be tolerated, that a man filling a high judicial situation should be among the first to teach the people to set the law at defiance. How could he afterwards enforce the law, if lie set the example of disobeying the law? This was no party question; but it was of great importance ; and it was the duty of all to uphold the law and the Govern ment. The question went to the very existence of the Government, let who would administer it. It related to the existence of the State ; for the State and the Govern metit could not exist if the people would not obey the law. He was showing, by these observations, the means that had been employed to excite the people, in order to secure the passing of the Bill ; but such conduct would assuredly lead to the complete destruction of the Government. There was another measure which had been adopted, that could not be sufficiently reprobated. To bring the Go vernment to terms, a run had been made upon the Bank. Was there ever a more dangerous line of conduct ? That was destroying the prosperity of the country, in order to aim a blow at the Government, and it was done by those whose ditty it was to support the Government. Again, a similar attack had been made through the means of the savings' banks. lie had a great respect fir the lower orders, and he should never separate his happiness from that of the great body of the people ; but he would lift up his voice, if lie could make his voice heard, to warn them against making their property and its security the means of effecting a political purpose. That would render it necessary for the Government to take from them the power of putting their savings into the Government securities, for it never could he borne that they should have it in their power, while their own property was perfectly safe, to damage the property of all the other creditors of the State. No Government could ex ist if these laws were not altered; for it was the fluty of Government, while it provided for the security of others, not to do that at the expense of itself. After this ex ample, he thought it would lie necessary that the Savings Banks Acts should undergo a revision. Let who would be in Administration, they must take care to maintain the Government. The result of all was, that the Ministers were forced back under conditions on their Sovereign, and the Members of the other House were forced either to abdicate their functions or to be swamped by a new crea tion of Peers. They chose the former, but no man could say that their authority was not entirely destroyed. That part of the King's speech which recommended a measure that was to preserve the authority of both Houses of Pediment had been completely falsified. He had been to the House, and he had never witnessed anything with greater sorrow, and pain, and humiliation, than the debates of that Ilouse—a mockery, indeed, of debates— for no man could assert that the voice of that House bad not been stifled. Was the measure passed by the free will of that House ?—No such thing. Were the Peers at liberty to object to particular parts of the measure, and make it somewhat better than it went up from that House? No. It was passed as if the assembly were a Turkish Divan. His Majesty's Ministers did it all on their authority, and their responsibility, without the slightest assistance or ad vice from the great body of the Peers. His Majesty's 1111- nisters had, in fact, carried their measure by a minority . in a most illegal manner. It was plain on the face of it, that now . be no Bills. House aTthsv majorityB There ee s the minority had, by illegal threats. excluded . t ß h least improvement in them. It . yvas, therefore, a mere loss of time to him at least to discuss them.

He was but a humble man, but be was proud of his rights, and would stand up for them as much as the proudest Lord amongst all those on the opposite side. He would recommend the Noble Lord, instead of going through the mockeries of a debate, to pass the Bills at once by an Order of Council ; for there was not the slightest hope that the other House would be suffered to A leliberate on them. He should mark those and think them quite undeserving of the character and. name of l , :nglishmen, who, after having assisted to degrade -he other House —after having tarnished its lustre, and deprived it of its glories, should go into that ►ssembly they had degraded. He should mark those who were anxious to share the honours they had soiled. These operations of the Government were, in hie opinion, entitled to the most serious consideration. They have al ready had a most alarming effect on the other House, and what might be expected when the Bill came into opera tion? Much responsibility would be on those who had opened these flood-gates, and let out the water , : of desola tion. lie, like a worthless straw, might float idly and se curely down them, but he should witness others sink over loaded with honours and wealth. He bad honestly op posed the Bill, and had honestly endeavoured to amend it ; but now it was likely to become a law, and lie should ac• commodate himself to live under the Bill. He was pre pared to make himself at ease under the new Bill. He would throw not the slightest impediment in the way of its execution ; he would lend himself to carry it into effect like a good subject, and he would live as well as he could under that new Constitution which was forced upon him, and, lie admitted, legitimately forced upon him, as far as that House was concerned, by the majority. But it was not so as far as the other House was concerned, which had been eclipsed and destroyed. He looked certainly to the good sense, and moderation, and conservative prin ciples of the people, to avert the calamities which might otherwise be expected from the Bill. In conclusion, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman denounced political and parochial unions, which he described as usurping all the power and authority of Government, and he declared that these meetings must be protected if the Government itself was not to he destroyed. Lord ALTHORP began by adverting to the amend ments made in the Bill, and the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman's remarks on them, and expressed himself satis fied with them, particularly as they would tend to extend the franchise, of which he was glad. The Noble Lord then said that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had taken the opportunity of again discussing, as it had before been discussed, the conduct of Government, and had imputed blame to it which he was not justified in imputing. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman began by stating what had before been stated, that the House of Lords was to be al lowed to make alterations in the Bill. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had referred to the speech of his Noble Friend to confirm his view, and said that his Noble Friend had said he would accede to any alterations in the Committee. But if his Noble Friend had stated that he would allow of alteration, he could not have meant that he would not allow cf amendments which would interfere with the principles of the Bill. His Noble Friend stated that be was pledged not to agree to such alterations. Whatever his Noble Friend might have stated in his reply on the second reading of the Bill, he could never have in tended to abandon the pledge he had given to his country. What was the amendment which was proposed? The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had said that he bad de scribed it as a trifling one when proposed in that House, and had declared that it was of little importance whether eafranchisetnent or disfranchisement went first. He did not recollect that he had not said so ; be would not deny that be had said so ; but he did not believe that he had. The question that was decided in the House of Lords was not a question of mere precedence—the decision concerned the principles of the Bill. It had always been declared in that House, and was so understood by the country, that the boroughs contained in schedule A were evils in them selves, and therefore they were to he disfranchised, not to make ►ootn for the enfranchised boroughs. The prin ciple of time amendment, however, was, that these bo roughs were only to give way to enfranchised bo roughs. His principle was, and that was the principle etnheaced by the people, that the nomination boroughs were contrary to the rights and liberties of the people. When the House of Lords came to a decision on this sub ject, contrary to the Ministers, it was impossible for the Government to come to any other conclusion than that ;.he principle of the Bill was at stake. What were the Ministers the❑ to do ? Were they to give way on every point ? Were they to give up every pledge? 'Were they to continue in office, and see the principle of the Bill gra dually broken down and taken away, till the whole Bill was destroyed with their consent ? It was impossible that they could contemplate such result. They felt it was impossible for them to go on with the Committee un der such circumstances, and they, therefore, thought it their duty to give that advice which they thought them selves justified in giving, and as that was not followed, to tender their resignations. The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman had attributed all the excitement which existed throughout the country to the imprudence of his Majesty's Government. This was unfair and unjust. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman said that Colonel Jones must have been in communication with the Government, otherwise he could not have obtained. that letter which bad been the subject of so touch remark. He begged to say that he personally knew Colonel Jones, as he believed did many other members of his Majesty's Government—that when lie met Colonel Jones, he might interchange communica tion with him, as one private gentleman might do with another; but that he ever communicated with Colonel Jones as a member of Government--that he ever commu nicated to him any such matters as were charged against him, he most distinctly denied.--(Loud cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman referred to some information which he said Colonel Jones must have received from his Majesty's Government. He referred to a letter which had been stated in some other place to have been inserted lite rally in the Times journal.—(Hear, hear.) It was said that that letter was inserted in the Times verbatim. But what was the fact? •Why it turned out that no such letter had ever been inserted at all.—(Cries of " Hear.") Sir E. SUGDEN said (as we understood), that was of no consequence. Lord ALTHORP—The Hon. and Learned Gentleman seemed to think that this was not a matter of any import ance, but when a person made a statement that a letter was inserted verbatim in a public newspaper, when, in point of fact, no letter, no pretended copy of or extract from a letter appeared, hut merely a general statement of what had occurred, he really thought such an assertion deserving of at least some renaark.—(Cheers.) The infor mation there communicated was such as might have been gained from sources quite unconnected with his Majesty's Government, and he most firmly, sincerely, and consci entiously believed, that it was not obtained from any Mem ber of that Government.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went on to state what had been the course of the debates in the House of Lords ; he said that the House of Lords were compelled to carry this Bill against their will—( Hear, from the Opposition)—he de nounces this as a blow to the Constitution, and he imputes this blow to his Alsjesty's Government He did not say in what manner that House was compelled ; but he (Lord Alth,rp) would say, that if any force was put on the House of Lords at all, that force was the universal voice of the people of England.—(Great cheering.) Circumstances occurred which convinced the House of Lords that it was advisab'e no longer to resist the wishes of the whole peo• ple.—(Tremendous cheering.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman said that was not the case. He did not know on what grounds the Hon. Gentleman said so. The House of Lords, in acting on such a ground, would not have act ed unwisely, nor would they have acted in an unprece dented manner, since they had before changed their reso lutions for such reasons on questions of infinitely minor importince.—(Cries of Hear, hear, hear.) The Ho in.mrable and Learned Gentleman had charged him and colleagueshs conditions on their Sovereign. Why, the only condition on which they could possibly come back to office, under such circumstances, was the unequivocal means of carry ing the Reform Bill.—(Loud cheers.) He did not wish to pass that measure by any unconstitutional means. But they were put to a choice of evils. No one could regard the excitement which prevailed, and deny that not only the prosperity, but the very safety of the country depended upon the measure being carrieri.—(Cheers.) In justice, therefore, to themselves, to the country, and to their Sove reign, they could come back to power on no other prin ciples. They did not wish to take any extraordinary measure, unless it were forced upon them, and he re joiced that they were not so forced.—(Hear, hear.) He should not follow the lion. and Learned Gentleman into his detail of the consequences which he conceived likely to result from this measure. The Hon. and Learned Gen. tlernan said, that his only dependence was on the good sense of the people themselves.—(Cheers.) He also depended on the good sense of the people.—(l.oud and continued cbeers)—and if he had not depended on the good sense of the people, he should not have been one of those w ho wished to place additional power in their hands.—(Heary hear.) The only reason by which he was actuated was, that the people were in a state of know:edge—that they possessed that good sense which rendered them worthy of having and capable of exercising a power to which they were entitled by every principle of the Constitution-- 5 power which be was convin ce d wou ld ten d to t h e b ene fit of the country, and to the happiness and prosperity of the nation at large.—(Great cheering.) Sir R. PEEL said, that the question strictly before the House was, whether certain amendments made to the Reform Bill should be sanctioned or not. T o these amendments lie should most certainly give his assent.-- Nay, if it were proposed to pass them without the forma' lity of reading them, to that proposition also be would give his assent. For he would not go through the far"
