Is. od. The Ministers in the House of Commons have been harassed and frightened of late by their own radical friends. They dare not face these Bill -supporters as antagonists, and when notice is given by any of them of an untoward motion, they evade it by taking care that " no House" shall be made. In this way they have twice choked Col. Torrens, and have baffled Mr. Robinson, and have thrown poor Alderman Waithman overboard. All of these gentlemen, their steady Reform adherents, have given no tice of motions which our gifted Ministers are not well able to grapple with. On Friday last a new assailant was to have presented himself. Mr. Cutlar Fergusson announced his intention of putting a question relating to Poland on the motion for going into the Committee of Supply. This was quite enough to make the govern ment determine not to go into the Com mittee of Supply on that night. In good truth there will he some difficulty for these Ministers in this question about Poland. The case stands thus :--13‘; the first article of the Treaty of Vi enna (9th June, 1815) it is provided-- That the Duchy of Warsaw is united to the Russian empire, to which it shall be irrevocably attached by its Constitution, and be possessed by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias and his successors in perpetuity. His Imperial Majesty reserves to himself to give to this State, enjoying a distinct administration, the interior improve ment which he shall think proper. He shall assume, with his other titles, that of Catr, King of Poland, agreeably to the form established for the titles attached to his other possessions. The Poles, who are respective subjects of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, shall obtain a representative and national institution, regulated according to the degree of political consideration that each of the Governments to which they belong shall judge expedient and proper to grant them." It will probably be contended by Mr. Fer ,usson that under this treaty, to which all the Great Powers in Europe are parties, there is a positive and unconditional engagement to grant a representative and national institution to the Poles, whatever may be the power reserved to their rulers of regulating or modifying the insti tutions so to be conceded ; and we presume that our Government will be urged to interfere in order to compel the execution of this part of the treaty. We will not anticipate the reply of Lord Talleyrand Palmerston ; but we think that the Emperor of Russia will have something to al lege on his part on the score of having been com pelled to make war upon these Poles, and to reduce them by an expensive and sanguinary conquest to their present state of submission. But we look forward with much curiosity to the discussion on Mr. Fergusson's motion, if it be not smothered in good time.—Morning Post. (Ao. 12,:347.) DURING LAST WEEK. Wheat. I Barley.

SECON D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMriIUALPARWMEN' THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. HODGES moved the third reading of the Graves end Pier Bill. Mr. HUME ►uggested the adjournment of this ques tion until the surveys of the rivers, ordered by the Admi ralty, be completed. After a few words from Sir R. Inglis, Mr. C. Calvert, Mr. Hodges, and several other Members, the third read• irg was postponed until to-morrow. Mr. HODGES presented a petition in favour of that Rill from the magistrates, clergy, &c., of Gravesend and Nlilton, in the county of Kent ; also, two similar petitions from certain mechanics and artisans of the metropolis in avour of the Bill. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition from the Rector and Select Vestry of St.. Marylebone parish, pray ing that if the present Cemetery Bill pass into a law the Rector and Select Vestry may receive compensation for the loss of burial fees. O❑ the motion of Sir THOMAS FREENIANTLE, Colonel Clayton's Divorce Bill was read a third time. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the working classes of E•linburth, against the Edinburgh Police Bill. He wished the Bill to be postponed until after the holydays, because a great many petitions were getting up against it in that town. An HoN. MEMBER said it was not intended to go into Committee on the Bill until after Easter. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from several owners and occupiers of collieries, &c., against the Bolton, Bury, and !Manchester Railway Bill, or to compel the Company to alter their line of Railway. Referred to the Committee. Mr. HAYWOOD presented three similar petitions from individuAls. Referred to the Committee. The same lion. Member then presented a petition from certain freeholders, leasehnlders, and inhabitants of Man chester, in favour of the Birmingham and London Rail way Bill. Lord MORPETH brought up the report of the Com mittee on the Hartlepool Pier Bill and amendments to the some, which were read the second time. The NOBLE Loan also brought up the report of the Hartlepool Railway Bill. Lord GRIMSTONE presented a petition of certain sub scriners to the Birmingham and London Railway, praying that their names might be erased from the list of subscri bers, and that they might be heard by themselves or Counsel against the Bill. Mr. LAWES, from the Bankruptcy Court, presented certain returns which had been ordered by the House, and which were ordered to he printed. Mr. SANDFORD presented a petition numerously signed from the inhabitants of Wellington, Somerset shire, against the proposed system of national education in Ireland, and praying that the system of education should be founded on the whole Bible, and not on detached parts of it. The Hon. M,mber said he could not support the complaints in the petition, and observed that he thought many of the petitioners did not thoroughly understand the subject. lie also presented a petition from certain 114 x. spinners of Yeovil, against the labour in facto ries Bill. Also, two Petitions, one from Chaud, Somer etshire, which was against ahe Register of Deeds, Bill, and the other from Axbridge, Sometsetshire, also against that Bill. They were referred to the Committee on the Bill. He then presented a petition from a certain religious congregation at Ilminster for the abolition of sla very in the colonies. Mr. STRICKLAND presented a petition, which was of much importance, as showing a great sympathy of the English in favour of the Irish : it was from Liveredge, in the West Siding of of York, in favour of the Government system of education in Ireland, signed by 1,425 persons, and agreed to by a public meeting which was so numerous that it was obliged to be adjourned to the open air. The Hon. Member thought that many of the objections made to the proposed plan were founded on mistake. Already upwards of 220 schools had been applied for containing a much larger number of pupils than had been educated in the Kildare-street society's schools oftcr they had been established four years. He thought the proposed plan would tend much towards the tranquillity and happiness of Ireland. _ Captain GORI)ON said he would explain how this petition was got up. A meeting had been called by thirty clergymen, not for the discussion of affairs in ge neral, but the invitation was limited to the friends of Scriptural education for the purpose of agreeing to an address to the trone, after the advertisement had been read, a number of persons broke up the meeting by violence and uproar, and a meeting of their own at which ;his petition was agreed to. He thought that he might infer that the opinion of the well-informed persons wos against the Government plant. Sir JOHN JOHNSTON supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. D. W. Havey was surprised to hear so many ob jections to the proposed plan, and so many complaints against Governmake for takinq the paltry annual grant of 15,000 a year from the Kildary-steet Socioty, when he supposed that there was enough of Protestant virtue and Protestant liberality- in Ireland to inahe up that sum if pleased, and so prevent the Kildare-street Socie'y from perishing. It was not more than six months of the rentf of a Bishop of Ireland, and therefore why complain of the Government when it was in their own power to per petuate their iavourite Kildare-street Society ; for if they choose to krep up that establishment, it was ❑ot in the power of Government to support it. Mr. WISE addressed the House in favour of the pro posed. - The D puty Usher of the Black Rod appeared on the floor, and summoned the House to the Bar of the House of Lords, to he the Royal Assent given by Commission, Bios. On the Speakers — return, ho read a list of the Bills, to which the Royal Assent had been given (for which see the Lords Rtport.) Sir R. INGLIS then resumed the discussion upon the petition, and spoke against the new plan of education.— As to the observation of the Hon. Member for Colchester (Mr. Hawes), that 15,0001. could soon be collected by the Protestants, he begged to observe that it was not a question of pounds, shillings, and pence, but it concerned an excellent plan of education, to which his Majesty's Government had hitherto lent their countenance, but which they thonght proper now to withdraw from it.— lie should shortly have occasion to present several peti tions from very populous places against the Government plan. Mr. J. JOHNSTON said a few words against the new plan of education. He had understood that the whole Bible any not merely extracts from it should be read ; he believed that the Kildare-street Society did not use the Scriwures by extrcts merely. He was opposed every extracts but if they were to be used, let it be in their pro per places.—(Bear.) He knew of five of six Presbyterians of Scotland, and various popular Towns, had determined to peti tion the,House against this plan. MR. JAMES GRATTON spoke in favor of the Govern ment plan, and depreciated such a discussion as the present, on the pesentation of a petition- He was, however, conhdent that when the proposed plan was better understood, the bible would be much better read than it had hitherto been among the poor of Ireland. There was nothing in the plan to prevent the whole bible being read during certain periods of the day, but in school-hours seleci portions only ' . were used, Mr. LEFROY was against the system proposed by the Right Hon. Secretary, and he was glad to say that he was not alone in that opinion, but that he held it along with almost the whole Protestant population of Ireland. He might mention the petition which had been presented to the House from the United Synod of Ulster, a petition which he believed had passed unanimously. The objection that had been offered to the system pursued by the Hildare Street society, viz, that the bible was in some parts so obsceae, that it ought not to be put into the hands of those who could not understand it was well founded, because it was left to the discresion of the master what portions were suited to the advanced state of the pupil. MR. SHA W had no wish to prolong the discussion upon this subject, but he wished to correct a few mistakes into which the Honorable Member for Colchester (Mr. D. W. Harvey) had fallen He had said That there was only a sum of 15,000/. withdrawn from the Kildare Street Society, now the fact was that the ,um withdrawn was 25,000/. He (Mr. Shaw) did not complain of the withdrawal of that sum for he considered that all such societies flourished more when left to private support, but what he complained of, and to which he must enter his protest, was that Government had not withdrawn the grant altogether, but had :merely done so in order to set up adother. system which in his opinion was not well founded. Atter a few words from Mr. Shiel, Mr. Stichiand, Mr Wyse and Mr. Gordon • Mr. ROBINSON said, he thought it would be impossible t, get up any system of Education which would please the tw , *neat parties in Ireland. He thought the best plan would be chess the grant was before the House, either to withhold the grant altogether or divide it between both systems, accordim to their numbers, or some other plan of division. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Long before the usual hour for commencing the busi ness in the House of Lords this evening Parliament-street and the avenues leading to the House were crowded with in immense number of persons. The Gallery set apart fur the accomtrrdation of the Peeresses (and a very small place it is) was crammed with fair occupiers at an eat!) hour in the forenoon. At about half-past four o'clock the Peers bean to take their pl ices :—the Duke of Bucking• ham, Earl Penmuir, Earl Hood, the Duke of Cumberland, Lord Tenterden, the Marquess of Sligo, the Marquess of Cleveland, the Duke of Gordon, the Duke of Queens berry, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, Lord Fing.al, Lord Lyndoch, the Duke of Devonshire, and Lord King, were unongst the first who took their seats. Ram Muhun Roy was below the throne. At Five o'c'.9ck the Loan CHANCELLOR, the Duke co , RICHMOND, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, took their seats as Commissioners, when the Royal Assent was given to the Malt Drawback Bill, the Scotch Cholera Bill, the Con solidated Fund Bill, the Indemnity Bill, the Belfast Railway Bill, and several private Bills. Immediately after the Royal assent had been given, the rush of Members of the Lower House to the space in front of the throne was wineadous, and in an instant it, was packed in every corner. . _ The Duke of SUSSEX took his seat at a quarter pate fivr, on a cross-bench in front of the Woolsack. Earl GREY entered the House at twenty-five minutes past five o'clock. 'f he LORD CHANcELtoa immediately afterwards peered on the woolsack, and several Bala were brought up from the House of Gunmons. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented ten petitions, numerously signed, in favour of tbe second reading of the Reform Bill, from various parts of England and Scotland. His Lordship stated he had not read the whole of the petitions through, but he believed them all to be respect fully worded, and such as ought to he presented to their Lordships. It was from no want of respect to the peti tioners that be did not read them over, but he had every confidence tb it they were such as ought to be received. Lord ELDON made an observation, but in so low a tone as to be inaudible. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that no doubt the Noble and Learned Earl had a right to require those who presented petitions to read them through; and having done all he could to save the time of the House, he would withdraw the petitions, that he might read them over between this and to-morrow evening, for the purpose of being able to say precisely what they were. It was the first time that he had ever heard, in either House of Parliament, the exi gency imposed—(Cries of " No, no")--of reading over every word of every petition that was pre sented to Parliament.—(Hear.) Ile was anxious to have presented them to-night, because he thought it pos sible that their Lordships ►night come to a division, though ❑ot very likely, before they adjourned. Lord ELDON said he could assure the Noble and Learned Lord the rule of the House was, that every Mem ber of the House presenting petitions should read them through Instances had occaired in which petitions bad been withdrawn from subsequent readings of them, in consequence of not having been respect fully and properly worded, and there the Noble Lord presenting them had not read them through. Though, however, anxious to have the rule of the House adhered to, yet he was very desirous of saving the Noble ar,d Learned Lord unnecessary trouble, and therefore if the Noble and Learned Lotd would permit hint, he would take the petitions home with Lim and read the whole of them over by to-morrow morning. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not think of im po4ing such trouble o❑ his Noble and Learned Friend. No doubt those who presented petitions undertook to say they believed the petitions to be respectably and properly worded. He believed the whole of the petitions he had ever presented to be so ; he could not say from his own knowledge they were, hut he would take them home with him, assuring the House that he would be enabled by to morrow morning to say whether they were or not. He knew that scores and scorrs of petitions had been pre sented to both Houses without having been read all over. OPPOSITION REFORM BILL. The DUKE of BUCKINGHAM.—My Lords, have to present a petition from against the Bill of Reform which has been sent up to your Lordships' House from the Commons. The whole of this petition is framed in language so sensible, that 1 am greatly tempted to read it to your Lordships, but shall content myself with these few words. " The petitioners do not presume to suggest what plan of representation would be safe, nor are they opposed to any which the altered situation of the country may require, but hope that none will be attempted which can tend to impair the safety of our existing institutions." In moving that this petition be laid upon the table I will take the op portunity of giving a notice to your Lordships. (The House, from being in a noisy state, was here rendered, by the solemn and impressive tone in which the Duke spoke, still as death.) My Lords, con tinued the Noble Duke, I rise to give your Lord ships notice, that it is my intention, in case it shall please your Lordships, as I sincerely hope and trust, and believe, that it will be to negative the second reading of the Bill for Reforming the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament—it is my intention, I say, in case that should be the result of your Lordships' deliberation, to bring in a Bill immediately after the Easter recess to give the right of sending two members each to Par- !lament to large towns therein to be specified, which, from their commercial and trading situation, may ap pear to be entitled to be represented in Parlia ment, and which are not now represented, and also to consolidate certain of the boroughs, now sending Members to Parliament, so as to make room, without altering the numbers of the present House of Commons, for the Members proposed to be added as representatives of large towns as aforesaid ; and also to extend the right of voting in all boroughs to be specified (query represented) in such a manner as without depriving any person of a franchise who now possesses one, may pre vent any individual from unduly influencing the election of Members of Parliament within the said borough. This is the notice I give, and that I may prove my sincerity to your Lordships, I request that it may be entered upon your Lordships' journals. The House remained in perfect silence during the whole of this announcement, and only one or two faint cheers fell from the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and some other Peers of the Opposition. Lord GREY smiled and the LORD CHAN.. cello' . almost laughed outright, particularly when the No' le Duke spoke of the prevention of undue influence being exercised in elections. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from the town of Kingston-upon-Hull, against the Reform Bill. The petitioners began by stating that they highly approved of the course which their Lordships had followed in the vote they had given last session on the Bill then introduced by his Majesty's Ministers. They stated also their lull confidence in their Lord ships, that a similar decision would be given to that measure now under the consideration of the House, and hoped that, while some Reform was necessary, in any Bill which should hereafter be introduced, due respect .(PRICE 7D ) might be paid to tT integrity of the institutions of the country, the only safeguard of the empire. The Earl of WINCHILSEA was anxious to give th • Learned and Noble Lord opposite, and another Noble Lord at the head of the department in Ireland, an op aortunity of vindicating themselves from the charge. , aitich were made against theni, and he hoped that a,, early day would be appointed for that purpose. The Earl of WICKLOW said that in bringing th, 4ubj•-ct forward, he felt great satisfaction in think ing the Noble Lord at the head of the Irish Go vernment, would in a few days be, in all probability, in his place, and therefore he would give notice that, on Mon day next, he would bring a subject under their Bordships' consideration. Lord PLUNKET was anxious to give every oppor tunity of furnishing every explanation of his conduct in having exercised that most pa'nful part of his duty__ the not continuing an individual in the situ ,tion of uf a magistrate, but he In gged leave to state that his cha racter was not at all involved in it. Lord KING presented a petition from the parish of Clerkenwell, praying the House to reconsider their vote of list session, and to pass the present Reform Biil. The Duke of RI CHAIOND presented a petition from Dalkeith, in favour of the Reform Bill. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from the Politi. cal Union of Greenwich and Deptford, in favour of the Reform Bill. Lord GREY said the petition could not be received as that of the Political Unions of Greenwich and Deptford, as that was a body not recognised by the House. It could, therethre, only be received as the petition of the indivi duals who had signed it. Lord DURHAM said it should be received as the petition of the individual members of that body, whose riehts as members of society the Bill would materially improve.— (G (G-neral cries of "Read.") The petition was v:en read. It set forth that a petition to the same purpor t had been presented to the House of Commons in 1793, by Mr. Charles Grey. In consequence of that petition not beinz attended to, and the corrupt state of the representation being persevered in, the capital, trade and manufactures of the country h3d been crippled, wages reduced, and labourers thrown out of employ. The labouring poor had been reduced to great distress, and the whole of the people of the United Kingdom reduced to one mass of discontent and angry feel ing, which could only be removed by the present Bill being passed into a law. The petitioners begged to call the attention of the House to the petit in which it would place itself, if they again rejected the united wish e of the monarch and the people. They trusted their Lordships would not withhold from the people those rights which a long series of political changes rendered necessary. The petitioners prayed that the House of Lords would pass the whole Bill, for if not, they would produce a frightful disorganization and revolution throughout the country. Lord DURHAM moved that the petition do lie on the table. The Marquess of CLEVELAND said, that there was not one word in that petition which he did not think perfectly proper, and in which he did not agree. A cry of " Divide" on the question of receiving the petition was raised on the Opposition benches, and was met with laughter from the Ministerial side of the house. REFORM BILL. Earl GREY rose an l spoks as follows :—My Lords, several petitions have been presented to-night, iu favour of, and adverse to, the Reform Bill. It is now my duty to propose to your Lordships the second reading of the Bill, which the other House have sent up, for a Reform in the representation of the people. To a Bill of this important nature, a Bill relating to as many great interests, and which has been passed by the Commons of England, by a great and decisive majority, and supported by an equal majority by the people at large, it cannot be necessary for me to say that to such a Bill your Lordships are bound to pay the most serious attention. My Lords, the subject to which this Bill relates is of the greatest im portance. It is a Bill to effect a change in the constitution of Parliament by altering the mode by which Members are returned to represent the people. It comes before you supported by a great majority of that House, and I repeat it, by an equally great and decisive majority of the people.—( Hear. ) I feel that in proposing to your Lordships the consideration of this measure, .1 have taken on myself a duty to which I can bring powers very inadequate to its importance.--( Hear, hear, hear.) 1 feel, however, that I have on this occasion a support and consolution, which, I trust, will enable me to go through tie task. In the first pace, Ido not think it now required to prove to your Lordships that this Bill is one to which your assent is called by public opinion. It cannot be necessary to show that the principle of this Bill is one entitled to your Lordships' adoption. bacause even by those most adverse to Reform, the necessity of some Reform has been at length acknow ledged.—(Cheers.) Even this night we have had two petitions presented to your Locdships ; the one purporting to lie directly against the Bill, the other thanking your Lordships for your conduct with reference to the last Bill, but both most distinctly stating the opinions of the Petitioners, that some Reform in therepresenta- tion was_ at length requisite. In confirmation of this opinion, the Noble Duke who presented the first petition has given a notice to your Lordships, of his intention to prose a Bill, which is to be founded on thhe principle hitherto pronounced, not the principle of Morin, but of revolution.—(Cheers.) On the principle of enfranchise ment, disfranchisement, and an extension of the repre sentation. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM rose amidst the greatest disapprobation of the House. His Grace said it would save the time of the House if he now stated that the Noble Earl was misrepresenting what he had said. He (his Grace) had particularly guarded against using any words that could be construed into a question of disfranchisement. His object was to take the franchise from neboly. Earl GREY—My Lords, it would be premature in me to enter into any discussion, but even front the explana tion of the embryo Bill given by the Noble Duke, I do not take the description I gave of it to be incor tect. If I recollhdt wk it the Noble Duke said it was that he meant to give the franchise, that is to say, the right of electing and returning Members to certain great, opulent, and important towns. That, my Lords, is what I call enfranchisement. Next I un derstood the Noble Duke to say, that in order to make way for these new members, without altering the number of representations in the Commons, he certainly meant to consolidate, and unite cer tain Boroughs,—( Hear)—which now separately possess the right to return M.mbers. If the Noble Duke took from boroughs, each possessing a right to return Members, that tight, and gave them only a portion of the right, by a general sort of subscription, that, emy Lord, I say, is certainly disfranchisement.— (Loud cheers.) As to the third proposition, I do nit think that the Noble Duke has di.puted it. He stared, and dies not retract what he said, that he meant to extend the right of voting. He, therefore, means to present to your Loreships a Bill, and I beg your Lordships to mark this distinctly—a Bill founded, I repeat, and I repeat it not without attention to his Grace's interruption and most unsatisfactory explana ion--a Bill, indeed, founded on disfran chisement, enfranchisement, and extension of franchise.— (Loud cheers,) The Noble Duke, therefore, has clearly the design of presentidg a Bill, founded on those 3 great principles, and those alone which the Noble Duke and his friends had often told their Lordships were not the prin ciples l s et ofopposed dp Reform,Lords, eld a t m oit. 1 therefore but T hyoeof your principlesr r el e r o l Lordships' revolution. My Lords, then I say M I am relieved from the necessity of judging any thing in order to re recommend to your Lordships the adoption of the principles of this Bill. The principle of the Bill is enfranchisement, and here I think I might stop and beg your Lordships to give your sanction to a measure th e principle of which is now acknowledged by tho se wh o are m iev ed of fr : o h m its i i h e l e l an n r e gi e d ce se s e s nu i e t s y : nl o l )g. thosetak g a, ti im p i, no si, u n c is h of . and is whether proposed e m ;:he i t g hde h ea b t rNy s h a :i y i 11:11ei a , I ,D s N, universally ecele t p h adt e sioioon s nn a o ; ot n l e tdkhindo a os s wne ol t td h mdn a yli t ,.i stL w ; njo h ocrn i dt t :, wh n understand whether he had come to the adoption of the principles of this Bill or not, but the impression . on my mind was, that he thought there was necessity and expediency in submitting to some measure of Reform. 1 dont know, my Lords, whether that is his intention now or not; but if he remains, such an exception I am sure, my Lords, there are few others who will go with him in putting an interdict upon the hue iples of this, and also the necessity an! exretliencv true -njoymeet of their political right,. My Lords, I think of entering into this measure will tic admitted to •ne, not only from the ackowlodged abuses which exist in the present state of Parliament, but also from she general sense of the public open the embjeet. If nneerstond the ease, my Lords, those who now assent to the necessity for a measure 'tt Reform, and who have been with the greatest difficulty got to give their consent to (pi Iffy it ; and if I may so say, to excuse their opposition by stating that some Reform will have their support. But that the plan proposed lei His Majesty's ;Ministers went too far My Lords the voice of the people has been so tinivers,Py and generally expressed on this subject, that they no longer think it right to withhold the assent of Perlie tnent to the adoption of some measure of Reform. My Loads, I therefore say lam relieved from the necessity (if that necessity had not been indeed greatly relieved by repeated di.cuesions, in which every thing that couhl be stated upon the general principle of the Bill, end ef the general motives and views which led to its intro duction. I say, my Lord, I am relieved from the necessity of going into further arguments or stet mtnents on that point which has been so fully canvassed already tha t it would be impossible for me to add any thing to which I have hitherto said on the subject, and stillless to what he had so ably stated by others. I shall there fine assure my Lord that :the :principles of this Bill ere in a great degree admitted, and I shall proceed to examine and state as shortly as I can the nature of this Bill. The Bill, then, my Lords, to which I now desire the assent of your Lordships, to the second of a Bill, founded upon the same principles, being of the same nature and containing similar provisions to that which was introduced to you the las tStssions. (Hear, hear.) My Lords, I certainly understand what that acclem mtion means, and I think I shall be able to show clearly to your Lordships that there is nothing in the statement of this Bill bring founded on the same principiee and possessing the same features and provisions as time Bill ef last ye tr, ' that ought to induce your Lordships to , withhold your anent from this Bill. I say, my Lords, it is similar, and founded upon the same principles.—( Hear, hear.) I have heard nothing, my Lords, bet a general description of the Bill proposed by the Nohle Duke, but from what I have learned I must ray thos it will be founded on the same principles as this Bill —( Hear, hear.) Those principles, my Lot d, are diefraeiceaement of decayed boroughs, enfranchisement of great and populous • towns, and a consideralile extension of the right of ',mile! upon the same principle'', and with the alterations the. had been stated, this measure ie to be gain recommenele to your Lordships—a Bill with this disfraitehisernent, era franchisement, and the extension of the right or vo'inz—‘ (Hear, hear. )—and thin is what the _Voile Duke called not Reform but Revolution. It is enfranchis,t 'tient—it is disfranchi,entent—it is an extension of the right of voting, therefore it is not Reform but Bert). lution.—(Loud cries of " llear, hear.") By what process of reasoning the Nohla Duke arrived at this conclusion, or what his notion of Reform, as contridis tinguished to revolution, I know not, but I certainly can not conceive that the adoption of these princiucipies does of itself entitle the measure which is founded upon them to the character of being revolutionary.—( Hear, hear.) My Lords, a Reform in Parliament undoubtedly sop pses a great change in the constitution of Parliament— 'hat is, in the practical constitution of Parliament as it now exists —(Hear, hear.) A Reform of Parliament necessarily supposes a change in the mode in which the people are represented in the other House—hot all change is not Revolutionary. —(Hear, hear, hear.) This change is to be •ffect d by the acknowledged authorities, and the ackknowledged principles of the Constitution. It is to he effected by an Act of Parliament passed by the united will of the legislation, the King, Lords, and Commons.—(Cheers.) It is to be passed, therefore, after sufficient and mature deliberation. It is to proceed a cording to the known forms of the constitution, and to be carried into effect by the acknowhifged authoriti, of the State—carried into effect by the will of the three co-ordinate branches of the Legislature, the King, Lords, and Commons. He touches, therefore, none of a , ordi nary authorities—invades none of the forms of the Consti- tution, nor the powers of the Crown which are intrumted in the pres(rvation of the authorities of the State. With such dikes not profess to meddle or interf-re.—(Cheers.) Why then is it to he designated a revolution measure— a word to be used only in reference to an in- terferance with a succesion to the monorchy, or the authority of the State.—(llear, hear.) It can only mean that, and I say it does neither ; and that neither in its character, nor in its terms, ror in its principles can it be described to be revolutionary. It is a Reform of Par- Hai:neat, and how, again I ask the Noble Duke, does he distinguish Reform from revolution ? How it a Reform to be effected? I know no way of effecting a Reform o' Par liament which presupposes some defect in the Consti . tution of Parliament.—(Bear, hear, hear.) Some deficiency in the mode of representation, but in one os all of these three modes, either by disfranchising decayed limroughs which was the ancient practice of the Cnns'itution and cannot be considered as revolutionary.—(Loud cheers.) And that is disfranchisement ; or by giving the tight to return representatives to great towns which have risen to opulence and importance, as well also the practice in all times—and that is not revolutionary, hut reformation or else by an extension and improvement in the right f voting, which has also bccn done when a change of times has required it, and which 1 again say is not revolutionary but Reterm.—(Loud cheers.) By one, or either, or all of those modes is Reform of Parliament, according to my notion, is to be effected ; and aceordingly z in all the plans that have hitherto been proposed to Parliament—in all the plans hitherto proposed )y the great mean who have preceded me, and in which I ray have been pre,mmptuousenough to have proposed to the other House of Parliament. all the plans have proceeded either upon one or all of these imdes.--(Cheers.) I trust, therefore, I stand here bringing . . _ forward a measure, not going beyond the ancient lim,s of the Constitution of the Country, and that can in any way be considered as of a revolutionary kind. But is it necessary to argue thus ? Let us recur again to the great. advadtage we have in bringing forward this measure in the ganeral acquiescence of the people of this country.--(Hear. ) not of the mob—not of persons uninstructed in Reform.— (Cheere.) Let not Noble. Lore imagine that that is the description, and the only description of the persons who have asked for this measure.—(Hear, hear.) But that it is requested by the great mass of th (LEFT SPEAKING.) NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunddy.) Poxx.3)count, APRIL 7. —The Netley, to❑der to IL AI. S.

James Wilson, the celebrated conveyancer of goods, by means of his carpet bag, from the different hotels into which he had been received from his assumed appearance, was brought up for judgment, and sentential to seven years' transportation for each of the two offences of which he had been convicted. John Diago was indicted for entering the dwelling_ house of Mr. Davison, Tower-hill, and stealing therefrom a clock. cloak, coat, and 19 quires of paper, value 61. and upwards. Mr. Davison left his counting-house about three o'clock, with the anove articles in it ; on his return, about an hour after, they were gone. The door must have been o pened by a false key, as there was no sign of violence. I' was proved, that the prisoner had pawned the clock the sam, evening. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing the clock, value 21. 10s. There are four other indictments against the prisoner. Barristers on the Circuits; and at the country Sessions complain bitterly that the attorneys, by having their ,ons called to the Bar, keep every thing to themf:elvea, and ran carry on a law.eult with all the snurriess of a tinnily rit.
