to the boundary stones. He contended that the case of the city of London were not i❑ point. The bounds of the pity of London were perfectly well defined ; and pat of the walls which formerly. bounded the city were still in exist. Puce. Where auy alteration had been made, that altera tion was noticed by charter. In conclusion, he stated that he would unquestionably vote against the motion. Mr. ATTWOOD was at a loss to conceive how Mini sters could include Appleby in schedule A, while they ex cluded Midhurst from it. The Noble Lord had stated, t . at for a long time the battle on the subject of disfran chisement lay between Peters&ld and Appleby. Lord ALTHOUP—The Hon. Gentleman has mis taken what I said. Mr. ATTWOOD was very much mistaken if the Noble Lord had not declared that the struggle with respect to franchisement or disfranchisement was be tween Petersfield and Appleby. If, then, this were so, the fairest way would have been, not to have had a debate upon the subject, but to have put the names of the two boroughs in a glass on the table, and to have drawn one of them. It was quite clear to him. that the boundary line with respect to Applebv and Midhurst had been taken on a different principle. If the same principle had been acted on with respect to both, each of then► would have been excluded. He denied that what the Learned Attorney General had asserted was a fact—namely, that Appleby was an insignificant place; and he must say, that if they proceeded in the way now proposed, they would he doing a palpable irjury to the people of Appleby who now held the franchise, by thus deptiving ?hem of a right which was deeply important. Mr. HUNT ❑ext rose, but the outcry was so great that be was obliged to give way, when _ _ Mr. ROBERTSON (we believe) proceeded to address the House. This gentleman spoke from under the gal lery, and it was impossible to collect what he uttered in the gallery. The only sentence we caught was, that he was as anxious as any man to rescue his " dear, dear," e st uary from the afflictions which were now pressing on her. Mr. HUNT denounced both Appleby and Midhurst as nomination boroughs and seats of corruption. It would, in Ilia opinion, I e most unju.t to disfranchise Appleby, =ad to retain Midhurat. He certainly meant to vote for ti.e disfranchisement of Appleby ; but he then gave no tice, that if they came to the borough of .Midhurst before twelve o'clock, and he happened to be in the House, he should unquestionably move for the disfranchiaament of that place also. The gallery wag then cleared for a division, when there Ipptared Far the disfranchisement of Appleby 256 Against it Majority ll3 The nest question was, that the borough of Lostwithiel, Ownwall, stand part of schedule A. Mr. CROKER. would not divide the House in the instance of this boroegh, as the principle that applied to it had been already decided by so large a majority in the ease of Appleby. Colonel CUST said that Midhurst had a better r;ght tc be paced in schedule A than Lostwithiel. Mr. CROKER said, that if no one else would do so, he amnia? certainly move hereafter that 3lidhurst should be placed in schedule A. He should like to know from the Noble Lord what was the authority for the boundary as signed to Loatzvithiel ? Lord J. RUSSELL referred to the authority, which was that of the returning officer, and said that the boundary Commissionera had been, after the former Bill was thrown nut, deterred from extending their inquiries to those boroughs in consequence of the threats that ere held out that their authority in reference to them would not ►be attended to. Mr. CROKEIt said that the authority as to the boundary of Appleby had been just rejected by the House, while the very same authority was that which was now adhered to in the instance of Lostwithiel,—namely, the authority of the returning officer. Lord J. RUSSELL said that there was this great point of difference in the two cases, which in fact involved the whole question at issue. In the instance of Appleby there were two limits stated, one by the returning officer, and another by the Commissioners. Now they took the latter, and rejected the tormer. But in the case of Loatwithiel there was only one stated, and that one was not disputed. Mr. CROKER certainly would take the sense of the House hereafter as to whether other boroughs which im mediately fo!lowed in the list were not better entitled to stand in schedule A than those upon which the House was just deciding. The question was then put and carried, and Lostwithiel was placed in schedule A. The next borough on the list—that of Brackley, North amptonshire—was, after a few words from Captain BRAD • straw, placed in schedule A. The next question was, that the borough of Amersham, Buckinghamshire (which completes the liat of 56), should stand part of schedule A. Mr. PIGOTT suggested, that as the Right Hon, Gentle. man (Mr. Croker) had signified his determination to move that the borough of Midhuret should be placed in schedule A, they had better dispose of that question before they pro ceeded to disfranchise Amersham, which was at present the last of the 56. Lord J. RUSSELL would certainly move the disfran chisement of those 56 boroughs. Let other Hon. Gentle men move if they pleased that more boroughs should be disfranchised. 31r. CROKER said, that the Noble Lord might move what he pleased, but that he (Mr. Croker) would certainly take the liberty of amending his motion. He begged to move as an amendment "that the borough of Midhurst, instead of the borough of Amersham, should stand part of schedule A." Mr. DRAKE said, that the boundary had not been pro perly taken in the case of Ameraham. Lord JOHN RUSSELL maintained, on the contrary, that it had. 3lr. JONES said, that both those boroughs should be disfranchised, and the franchise given to some large town. Mr. CROKER observed that Midhurst was taken out of schedule A by adding to it an extensive rural parish, while, on the other baud, the boundary of Amersham had been unfairly curtailed. Lord J. RUSSELL said that they always took the clear boundary when it exited, and when it did not, their prin.. ciple was to take the boundary of the town. It did not appear that the boundary of the borough of Amersham extended beyond that of the town. Sir C. WETHERELL advocated the adoption of the amendment. Mr. Alderman WAITHNIAN said that he should vote for the disfranchisement of Amersham, because it was a rotten borough, and because there had not been an election there within the memory of man. Mr. CROKER said that there was not a syllable that b td just fallen from the Worthy Alderman which did not apply to the rase of Midhurst. 'The Committee then divided— For the amendment. 153 Against it.. 254 Majority against it -101 nn returning to the gallery we found Mr. CRAMER on his legs, hut were unable to catch his observations. Mr: POLLOCK had examined Lieutenant Drummond's mode of calculation with attention, and was convinced there was some mistake in it. He would prove this by the examples of Petersfield and Westbury in one case, and East Grinstead and Wendover in another. In the ease of Petersfield and Westbury, the superiority of the one over the other was in taxes—of the other in houses. Petersfield was 540 taxes compared with 278 ; Westbury was 526 houses compared with 278. But Petersfield was lower in the scale than Westbury, and consequently the superiority of taxes did not produce an effect upon the result. When be mentioned this last night, he was told that it was quite right—that it was intended to give a greater weight to houses. Now let the Committee mark the other case, for it was just the reverse. —(Hear.) Ea.t Grinstead had 198 taxes, and Wendover 198 houses ; but East Grinstead was 131 houses, and the taxes of Wendover were 124 ; and therefore East Grinstead in respect to taxes was as 198 to 124, and Wendover in respect to taxes was as 198 tq 131. Bat East Grinstead, which came nearer in houses ,than taxes, was put higher in the list (that is lower in the scale). One"led to the conclusion that the superiority w♦s as to taxes,-.-the other houses. There might be some good reasons for Lieutenant Drum mond adopting his plan, but be (Mr. Pollock) should be glad to know them. Mr. STEPHENSON defended the accuracy of the principle of calcu'ation adopted by Lieutenant Drummond. Mr. WARBURTON observed, that the instructions of Lord Melbourne to Lieutenant Drummond were, that houses and taxes should be taken together. The com mon interpretation of the term together," was that the sum should be taken, not that the two sums should be multiplied together. The course taken • by Lieutenant Drummond was the best, and was conformable to Lord Melbourne's instructions. Mr. DAVIES GILBERT said, that it appeared from the instructions of Lord Melbourne that each of the two columns were to be equipollent, reducing the fractions to a common denominator, and adding them togeth*. , That was what Lieutenant Drummond hid attemptri j and whatever differences might occur, they would have i! .. 7ry slight effect upon the result. Mr. CROKER objected to the plan of LiAttentint Prumrnond, that it gave to the boroughs of Westbury and Peters&ld:relative places which did not belong to them. The question that Amersham stand part of schedule A was then put and egres The question nes then put that Petersfield stand part of seeedule B. Mr. SHELL said, that instead of the motion of which he had given notice, that Eye, Wareham, Petersfield, Mid burst, and Woodstock, be inserted in schedule A, he should move that Petersfield be inserted in schedule A. He took this course in order not to embarrass the debate. If ho suce,eded with Petersfield, he should then consider of the propriety of moving his amendment as to the others. The object of his motion was, that if the House acquiesced in addition of the boroughs, it might make an ulterior and fairer dietrihutiora. Petersfield. which was 57th in the list, had 278 houses, and Amersham, which was 56th, had 361) : Amersham had 101 101. houses, and Petersfield 89. If they compared Petersfield with Amersham as to popula tion, wealth, and rental number of 101. houses, they would find that in all these particulars Amersham had far higher claims to return a Member than Petersfield, though the latter was placed in schedule B, while the former had just been knocked down in lot A.—(Hear.) Petersfield con tained but 89 101. houses, Amersham 101. Petersfield contained but 1,443 inhabitants, while Amersham had 2,015. And the rental of Amersham—that is, the value of the houses in that place—was to the rental value of Petersfield as 7,0001 to 2,5001.—( Hear.) On whet ground, therefore, taking the three tests of qualification in which the present schedules were framed,—namely, wealth, population, and prosperity,—could it be justified to retain Petersfield in schedule B, while Amersham was consigned to schedule A?—(Hear.) He was aware that he might be told that 56 was the adopted number of schedule A ; but he had yet to learn the cahalistical virtues of that or any other number, or why the principle which recom mended it as the minimum of disfranchisement should not be extended further, If Ministers Saw reason to depart from the number of boroughs contained in schedule B of the former Bill, why not also depart from the schedule A number ? As a question of a mere nomination borough, Peterfieid had less claims to a Member than Amersham, for the population of the latter was increasing, while that of Petersfield had fallen off since 1821. In conclusion, the Hon. Member moved that " Petersfield stand part of schedule A." If he succeeded in that motion, he would proceed with the next four boroughs, Lord ALTHORP was free to admit that an fir as the abstract principle of Reform was concerned, his Hun. and Learoed Friend's argument was irrefragable. As an honest Reformer, he could not seriously argue the ques tion whether a place comparati - eely so insignificant as Petersfield should retain the rieht of returning a Membsr to that House.—(Hear.) But the question then before the Committee, considered in all its relations, was not one of mere principle—it also involved considerations of policy end expediency. It was admitted that, let the number of schedule A boroughs be what i; may, it must be in degree arbitrary—that they must draw a line somewhere, the boundary boroughs on which must appear on the one hand to be unduly favoured, and on the other to be visited with ucdue harshness.—(Hear.) Fifty-six was adopted in the present fill, because op the one hand it was desirable th:t a less extent of disfranchisement; than the former Bill pro posed, and which the public sanctioned, phsolif not be ef fected in the new measure; and, on the other hand, it wae a matter of prudence that the success of the Bill should not be hazarded in the House of Lords, by sending up to it is higher number of disfranchised boroughs than was con tained in that which they had rejected, As a mere ques tion, therefore, of prudence, he would oppose his Hon, a nd Learned Friend's 'notice:. Sir R. PEEL felt himself at- irrinted to dieaw these im portant inferences from the Noble Lord's reinarks—nrst, that the Noble Lord considered the present "final" Bill but as a temporary measure,—as. in fact, a step towards a still more sweeping innovation—(" !leer, hear," and No")—and, in the next place, that it was, not intended to fetter the independent action of the House of Lords, by adding to its numbers for the mere purpose of ensuring the suce,ese of this temporary final measure.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) The Noble Lord admitted that the principle of the present motion was irrefregable, but would nevertheless vote against it for prodential eontideretions ; " for," says he, "it would not be wise just now to ask Loo much at once. Let us have this first, and then we will push for the rest;' showing that the Noble Lord re garded the Bill but as: a mere temporary measure. Then it was but fur to assume that it mss not intended to add to the number of the Peers who are to discuss the merits of the Bill; for, surely, the same number that it might be necessary to create for the purpose of retaining Amersham in schedule A, wceid suffice to place Petersfield there also, if principle and onsistency recomrnen4ed it.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") As to the motion of the Hon, Member for Louth, he would vote against it, as he had are lily voted against its principle, but he knew not how those Hon. Members, who had just by their vote placed Amersham in schedule A, could reconcile it to their consciences to place Petersfield in schedule B.—(Elea:.) Mr. STANLEY had nothing to add to what had just fallen from his Noble Friend. Ministers never pretended that the present Bill was free from some apparent ano malies; that it was a perfect rule-of-three scheme of re presentation —(Hear.) They knew that it contained blots, but in order to obtain the great object of putting an end to the nefarious system of borough-jobbing and no s mineeship, and of admitting the wealth and intelligence of the country to a share in the decision of the Legislature, they were willing to overlook minor defective details, and make some compromises so as to peevept as much hostility AS possible. —( Hear.) As to the Right Hon. Baronet's at tful insinuation with respect to the creation of new peerc, he woehl not say one word—(Hear, hear)—further then that it was the duty of Ministers not to unnecessarily pro voke hostility among the opponents or neutrals to the Re form Bill, and that four or five boroughs, more or less, cite way or the other, was a comprotniee pot too great to make for the purpose of conciliation and unanimity. Mr. CROKER very much regretted that the Hun. and Learned Member for Louth had not delivered his irresis tible speech on the 20th of January, when a motion similar in tendency to that then before the Committee was proposed from the Opposition side of the House. Had he done so, fifty-six would not now be the cabalistinsi number of schedule A, and Amersham would have been ;pared the injustice of being postponed to Petersfield. the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer need not tell them that the present Bill was but a temporary measure—" a measure of expedieney of the moment"—(' No, no,") — for it was necessarily a shertelived abortion, containing as it did in its mass of crudities, and injustice, and contra dictiees, and absurdities, the seeds of rapid annibilation. Lord MILTON denied that his Noble Friend had made use of the words just put in his mouth by tae Itight Hon Gentleman.—(Hear, bear. ) His Noble Friend merely said, that the consideration of the peeeent amendment was a mere question of prudence and temporary e;:pedi eney, and in that he agreed with him, and not that the Bill itself was a mere step to further changes.—(Hear.) Mr. SHEIL would not—seeing the tone the discusson had taken, and which be never contemplated---noes hzg ,Notion.._.(Hear, hear.) The sole object was to establish a strong case for ividing to the Irish representation, by showing, that by the priociplea of both the former and the present Bill, inanv Members might lie taken from the small borough a, which would be advautage4:;siy added to the representation of Ireland. Mr. CROKER, in reference to some observations of the Hon. and Learned Member for Louth, which applied to him personally, as.sured the Howie that he should never brine a proposition before them, arid tier. change round again before he eat down.—(Cheers.) The original motion was carried, the proposed amend ment having been withdrawn. It was at tir , t proposed to proceed further with the Reform Bill ; but the opposition threatened to divide the House on the question of adjournment, and Ministers I gave way. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again this day. NEW SOUTH WALES. Mr. DIXON complained that the Governor had caused considerable distress in this colony, by calling in all the quit-rents. He wished to know whether the Noble Lord was apprized of this intelligence ? Lord ALTHORP had not been previously aw ,re of the fact, and he had no doubt that it arose out of some miscon ception or mistake. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter put One o'clock.

CASIMIR PERIER AND SIR ROBERT PEEL.—The measures of the present Ministers of revo lutionized France are directed to stein the tide of improve ment, to shorten the sum of securities for good govern ment, and to throw discredit upon those principles which are productive of the greatest possible happiness; and, as such, those measures are ill calculated to meet with support from English Reformers. There is hardly one speech on the ministerial side of the French Chambers which would not make a pretty good anti-reform speech in the English Parliament. There is hardly one measure of M. CASIMIR PERIER which Sir ROBERT PEEL (alias Half-way, an apt translation of juste milieu) might not adopt. —France and .England by a Foreigner.—Metropolitan Maga zine for February. A statement of the expenses of the coronation of WILLIAM IV. and of his Queen, ADELAIDE, has been laid before both Houses of Parliament. From this docu ment there will result a singular contrast of the manner in which the last and the present Sovereign have drawn on the public resources of the country for this ceremony. We well recollect the coronation of GEORGE IV. It was a solitary act. The splendour was all his own. It was created for him alone. He started from his deep obscu rity, sustained with trembling knees and a palpitating heart the gaudy trappings of his station for a few hours, and then slunk back from the view, and almost from the thought of his people' The previous estimate of the ex pen4es for that day's brief di play had been 100,0001., and th e y amounted to 238,000/. ! The cor ona ti on of Wit-LIAM IV. and of his QUEEN was forced upon Mi nisters by the present Opposition. His MAJESTY is not the more beloved by his people, nor is he inure their King, for being crowned, We are of opinion, however, that the ceremony, though it might have been delayed, could not be altogether omitted ; and it is, perhaps, therefore, now the better th4t it is over. But this is a rare instance of the expenditure falling short of the estimate ! and yet all that was necessary, and wen more than was necessary, was done. The estimate of the expenses of the coronation of the KING and QUEEN was 50,0001. The actual ex• penes have proved to be 43,1591. Times. Yesterday the Committee of the “ouse of Commons on the London 7 . bridge Approaches Bill met, and' after a very animated discussion, it was resolved that they should adjourn until 'Muted Ay, in order, as we understood, that the city authorities might produce evidence to show that there was no necessity for granting the space of 130 feet frontage to view the 'ancient and splendid edifice of St. Saviour's Church on the southern line of approach to the New London-bridge; and also that the Members of the 10. and de andEniNwi)NeedArr Members ( i annac,ti (amongst Member o r om e n s gp t esadtnwhom eaccompanied h for otmo individuals i ‘tiv sa:e Id. f w osoano h t o Committee might have an opportunity of viewing the church and parts adjacent, that they might more clearly form an opinion on the propriety of allowing the space o s b exw , those t itah e n, l e dr Ve ll e w Member ra : r i ber seek to throw it open to public view.

COURT CIRCULAR. Their MAJESTIES left the Palace at Brighton at five minutes before twelve o'clock yesterday, in a cairiage'and four, and came to town, where their MAJESTIES arrived at twenty minutes before five o'clock. The Duke of SussEx received the KING and QUEEN on their arrival at the Palace at St. James's. The Duke of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA afterwards Visited their MAJESTIES. Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, Princess Louisa, of Saxe- Weimsr, and their MAJESTIES' suite, arrived in town from Brighton in the course of the afternoon in several carriages. The Princess AUGUSTA returned to town about half-past three o'clock on Monday afternoon, from a visit to the KING and QUEEN, at the Palace at Brighton. Her Royal Highness paid a visit after her arrival to the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Gloucester-house. The Duke of CUMBERLAND mad the Duke of SUSSEX visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday, at her residence is the Palace at St. James's. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER continues indisposed. The report of the state of her Royal Highness yesterday was, " The Duchess has had a good night, and is better to-day." Sir H. HALFORD attends her Royal Highness. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA walked for some time in Hyde Park yesterday. The Duke of CUI4IBERLAND honoured the Noblemen and Gentlemen's Catch Club with his company at dinner yes terday evening, at the Thatched-house Tavern. Mr. BURGE, the agent for Jamaica, Lord HOLLAND, and Lord SEAFORD, had interviews with Viscount Gone- RICH yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. COLQUHOUN, the agent for St. Vincent's, and Mr. MarEas, the agent for Barbadoes, also transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office. Viscount ALTHORP and Sir JOHN HORHOUSE visited Earl GREY yesterday, at the Treasury. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The grand new opera, entitled the Fiend Father, which has been so long in preparation, was brought out at this theatre last night. Of the plot we shall say no thing; as it iv nearly, if not quite, the same as that at Drury-lane, which we noticed at length yesterday. In general we may say the Covent-garden drama is more consistent and intelligible than ifs rival at the other house. It introduces a sort of Leperello part, in accordance, we believe, with the original ; KEELEY performs it, and if it were somewhat more wittily written, it would occasionally be useful in relieving the heavy horrors which pervade the opera. TEMPLETON makes it serious at the other house, but preserves a clever duet in the second Let with Ber tram, which KEELEY could not support. The first s,!ene was more richly caparisoned at Drury, but its music was perhaps more correctly and effectively sung last night. The knights' opening chorus was warmly encored. BRAHAM also sustained Duke Robert with great spirit, and sung with all the animated expres sion of his composer. Ile was well sustained by Miss SHIEREFF, as the Sicilian Princess. Miss INVERARITY took Mrs. WOOD'S part, and appeared as finely in voice as we have known her for a long time. There was one piece of animated recitative about the middle of the piece which she delivered with a clearness and power of voice worthy of the Italian stage. Tne scene between Robert and the Demon, who deludes bun under the likeness of the na in P rinc e ent, o were f om itted. G ranada,Tahned s e t h e o e n p d hn scene, a tasm of the , T h e ruins tou of I. the Temple of Saturn," was admirably appropriate and well -painted. The Abbey scene, as far as the painting and pictoral effect were concerned, did not strike us as equally fortunate with STANFIELD'S ; but the resuscitated nuns were managed with more complete success. There was no particular awkwardness in any of their manoeuvres. The last act was better at Covent-garden, with the exception of the marriage spectacle in the cathedral, which was less picturesque in grouping, and less singular and splendid in its general effect of light, than the like display at the ether house. Where did Mr. FARLEY ever bear of a Roman Catholic high priest wearing a golden circlet on his head, or a golden belt round his waist ? We would recommend still more condensation of the last scenes. On the whole. perhaps, both in music and management, there were fewer decided errors which will require revision at this house, which was least precipitate in preparing and commencing its operations. Mr. REYNOLDSON took the part of the Fiend Father, or Bertram ; and although he looked somewhat of a " lubber fiend," and used the accent most familiar to that order of spirit rather broadly, yet was there deep p epand ro p pi y in orweierful bassfia i performance, voke with and h a just tdis e ged cr m et a io n n a i.i h h is The house was remarkably well filled, and received the per formance throughout with applause.

The worthy gentlemen have been, as you are aware, dabbling of late in Parliamentary affairs, for the good (as a matter of course) of this most favoured of cities. Not having, however, much experience in the introduction of private Bills to the Honourable House, their Worships neglected to give the timely notice which the rules of the House require, and found them selves in consequence placed in an awkward position. The question was to get rid of the difficu!ty, and it having been known to these heroes of the Bristol •' three days," that certain of the citizens had been presumptuous enough to think about their own concerns, and had, with this intention, attended to the required form of advertising their intention of introducing Bills, the present session they thought quite an opportune circumstance, and ac cordingly produced the advertisement of the notice referred to, to the Committee, and obtained the necessary leave to bring in their Bills. The laugh may now be all against the citizens, who very uncivilly conceived that the Corporation had no con. corn with the notice which they had given for a very dif ferent purpose, and wrote accordingly to their Parliamen tary agent and to the City Members, to ascertain the facts, which are as I have related. Letters received to-day ad vises the immediate sending up a petition, and one will in consequence go forward by to-night's post, to be forthwith presented to the House. It is expected that the matter will make some noise, and will, perhaps, by the mention of Bristol, afford queer old Charley an opportunity of lecturing the House upon the success of the boroughmon• gers' doctrine of " re-action." The inhabitants are daily becoming more and snore tired of the Corporation, and wish most heartily that Government would rid the city of the corporate incurnbrance altogether, and without delay. The Magistrates are daily closetted for hours in consultation since the receipt of Lord Mel bourne's notice. The Jamaica intelligence has caused a good deal of alarm, and the mercantile portion of the community are very anxious for further advices, as many of them are d,eply connected, as proprietors and otherwise, with the colonies. It is thought by some that the late news is very much exaggerated fur party purposes, The Diario di Roma, of the Bth instant, an nounces the deaths of Cardinal RAFFAELE Marto, who was born in 1765, and received the Cardinal's hat from Pius VIII. in 1830 ; of Cardinal CESARE GUERRPRI Goiszaca, who was horn in 1749. and created Cardinal by Pius VII. in 1819: and of Cardinal BoxavicrrTuKA GAZOLA, Bishop of Muntt•fiascone, who was bora in 1744, and promoted to the carditialate by Pius VII. iq 1820. These three deaths occurred on the 4th and 6th instant, and 20th ult., respectively. ST.
