r THIRD READING of the REFORM BILL (From the Tyne Mercury, Tuesday, June 12.) (hr Wednesday morning last, the inhabitants of thi. town were indebted to Mr. Young, the spirited conductor pf The Sun newspaper, for the gratifying intelligence of the third reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, many hours before the news reached Newcastle by any other channel. (From the Liverpool Albion, Monday, June 11.) The inhabitants of Liverpool were put in possession, by the arrival of an express from The Sun office, which reached town before five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, of the gratifying news of the third reading of the Reform Bill, on the preceding night, in the House of Lords. Mr. : Yount', the spirited Proprietor, brought the news in per son, and Mr. Arnold, newsvender, Postoffiee-place, deli vered copies of The Sun to the newsrooms and other public places. (From the Sheffield Iris, Tuesday, June 12.) ARRIVAL OF THE NEWS.—On Tuesday, the general ex • pectation that the Reform Bill would pass on the pre ceding. evening, induced our townspeople to be on the alert for the news. About half-past twelve the arrival of a post chtiise and four horses, with a blue flag flying, drew a large concourse of people to the Haymarket, where they soon learnt, through the medium of Mr. Wiley, who had travelled express with The Sun newspaper, the realization of the Joyful event so long anticipated. The intelligence rapidly spread; and the rieging of the hells, firing of cannon, and other demonstrations of joy, within doors as well as with out, were merrily kept up during the afternoon. (From the Greenock Advertiser, Friday, June 8.) On Wednesday night, intelligence of the third reading of the English Reform Bill was received in town at eight )clock, by an express edition of The Sun, which was sent by the Satan steamer from Glasgow to the Corn- Inercial News Room by Mr. Atkinson. It was no sooner received than one of the members carried it to the Square, and read it from a pile of stones to an immense number of 'Persons who had assembled in expectation of hearing in formation of that event. It was then handed into the Greenock Coffee-room for perusal. In a few minutes after wards, flags were hanging out from the steeple, and from the Square and Exchange Coffee rooms ; the military band paraded through the streets, and a variety of fire works were let off. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the proprietors of The Sun, and to their spirited agent, Mr. Atkinson, for their conduct on this occasion. (From the Leicester Chronicle of Saturday, June 9-) Through the active exertions of the Proprietor of The newspaper, a copy of which was left at our office, intelligence of the third reading of the Reform Bill on Monday night was received in this town soon after six o'clock on Tuesday morning. In the course of the same day the bells of St. Mary and St. Margaret's churches rang several peals in commemoration of the joyous event. At Market Harborough, an application to ring met with a r efusal, on whi c h th e b e lf ry was f orce d b y a num b er o f ( sacrilegious radicals " assembled about the church, who clammed the bells for some time, and in the evening made a fire and burnt the effigies of several notorious Anti-Re formers. At Houghton-on-the-Hill, also, the use of the bells was refused, and in consequence the Reformers of the place have come to the determination not to buy any m ore of Mr. churchwarden's blue bread or flour. At Wigston and Oa lby, the bells rang merrily throughout the day. (From the Manchester Times, Saturday, June 9.) TRIUMP H OF REFORM.-The gratifying intelligence announcing the third reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, was communicated to the inhabitants of this town early on Tuesday afternoon, by an express edition of The Sun, containing a copious report of the debate on the consummation of the great measure. The effect of the news was speedily visible in the pleasant countenance of all classes of the people, and in the warm congratula tions that were heard around. Flags were immediately hoisted in front of a considerable number of warehouses and shops ; discharges of cannon, in various parts of the town, added to the enthusiasm so generally displayed ; and, to crown the whole, the bells of the Collegiate Church were most merrily rung. In the evening there Was a partial illumination. Mr. Molineux, of St. Ann's street, exhibited in front of his house the magic word " Reform," in vari-coloured lamps. The Ruck and Haw thorn public-house,in the satne street, was also lighted up, and in Salf or d severa l pr i va t e h ouses were b r illi an tly illu minated. Numerous parties of Reformers paraded through the principal streets of the town, and some amusing scenes were presented by two or three juvenile processions, graced With printed calico flx.ts, and enlivened by the sounds Which tin cans, old kettles, and similar harmonics are ca pahle of producing. The influence of Sir John Batley corn was strikingly exhibited in some few instances, but the evening passed off without the commission of the slightest disturbanse—except to the small knot of Tories Which remains among us. (Front Wheeler's Manchester Chronicle, June 9.) THE THIRD READING.—SO early as half-past three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon authentic infortnation was brought to this town in a second edition of The Sun newspaper, dated half-past ten o'clock on Monday even ing, that the Reform Bill bad been read the third time in the llouse of Lords on that evening, and carried by a majority of eighty-four. The express conveying the newspaper was a post-chaise with four horses, the driver and postilion being distinguished by having their hats encircled with blue ribands. One gentleman sat in the Carriage. The public being on the tip-toe of expectation, the appearance of the express was hailed with enthusiasm as it passed along Piccadilly and down Market-street, and hundreds of the inhabitants ran after it, cheering, to the Exchange. Being the principal market-day, a great num ber of respec,able merchants and manufacturers were in the news-room, one of whom was immediately deputed to read the conclusion of the debate and the numbers of the divi sion for the general body. On the result being announced three hearty English hurrahs were instantly given by this great commercial body, which were responded to by a multitude congregated at the front of the building, and the certainty that the Bill was at last secured, coupled no doubt with the instant rtflexion that the agitation of men's minds on this absorbing question was now to cease, appeared to afford unqualified satisfaction. The news, as it rapidly spread through the town, was bailed with expressions of joy and thankfulness ; and in the course of one hour it was generally known throughout all the neigh bouring populous villages. In the mean time the melo dious bells of our Collegiate Church struck up a merry peal—fla gs were hoisted in many parts of the town—and the firing of pistols, guns, and small cannon, kept alive till a late hour at night the feelings which had been set afloat by the grateful intelligence. \Ve have much pleasure in being able to state, that the Counter. of Eanot, * althougla having experienced a fall at Epsom, did not sustain any injury. APPROACHING DISSOLUTION OF PAR LIAMENT.-The nation is about to have another opportu nity afforded it of giving a practical expression of its ab horrence of our existing sanguinary criminal jurisprudence. A new Parliament is on the eve of being called. Let every elector do his duty on this great question of hu manity, by refusing his suffrages to any candidate who will not give an unhesitating and distinct pledge to vote for the abolition of capital punishments in every case where there hats been no sacrifice of life. Myriads will now have the right of exercising the elective franchise who never had that right before. Their conduct in reference to this question will be one test how far they are qualified to exercise their newly-acquired privileges aright. If one of th e fi rst measures of the new Parliament be not the doing away death punishments in the case of every crime, murder excepted, the Reform Bill will have so far proved a failure. It; on the other hand, such a measure be one of th e fi rst effects of Reform, as we fondly hope and be. lieve it w ill, we shall always hold that this alone, should it be accompanied by no other just or useful measure, will be an ample reward for , all the exertions and anxiety we have made and felt during our lo ng and arduous struggle for Reform.—Elgin Courier. METROPOLITAN NEWSMEN'S UNION.—A numerous party of th e above Society dined, on Monday hot, at the Lyceum T avern, Strand, to celebrate the open ing of the new News-matt, or Exchange, for the purpose of transacting business. For some years the neighbour hood of the courier office, in the public street, has been the only place at the west end of the town for the sale or ex chang e of Newspapers, to the great annoyance of the nei ghbourhood and passengers; by the arrangement of this Society that grievance will be done away with. The Society has now been established about nine months, and their funds are in a flourishing state, which will furnish a s um, increasing with the length of time of the members' subscribing to the Society, to his widow or relations, with other benefits. After the dinner, which did great credit to the worthy host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. SPILMAN, a procession was formed, and proceeded to their new pre mises, situated in Savoy-street, where a bowl of punch, containing several gallons, was in readiness, and success to th e new undertaking was duly toasted with three times three by the company. After which they returned to the Tavern, and spent the eveninv in thegreatest harmony and conviviality to a late hour.. ETON MONTEM. The triennial celebration of the " Mouton" took plan, esterday. The origin of this singular ceremony is very obscure; it appears, however, to be coeval with the foundation of Eton College. It consists, as most of our readers know, of a procession formed by the whole of the Eton scholars, from the college to Salt-bill, on the Bath-road. Previously, and during the march of the procession, a collection is made from the company who are in attendance, and from all passengers on the road, for the benefit of the " captain," or heart boy on the foundation of the school, preparatory to his departure for the University of Cambridge. The money collected is called " Salt ;" wherefore it is so called, we are not prepared to say. It is collected by the upper boys, called " salt-bearers," who are habited in very rich and fantastic dresses. The rest of the scholars are dressed in scarlet or blue coats, according to their rank in the school, and the whole spectacle is in consequence ex ceedingly lively and splendid. On the present occasion the dresses and decorations surpassed any thing of the sort we remember to have witnessed on former occasions, and the sum of money collected exceeded the collection of any former period ; we believe it did not fall far short of 1,2001. Mr. Williams, the son of the bookseller and publisher of the Eton classics, is the fortunate individual who is enriched by this popular contribution, and be is greatly indebted both to the activity and energy of his "salt bearers," and the liberality of the public, for obtaining so large a sum to defray his outfit to King's College, Cam bridge. At twelve o'clock, according to a previous an nouncement, their Majesties, accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge, the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and attended by Lord and Lady Howe and children, and Lady Gore and family, arrived in three carriages at the cham bers of the Rev. Dr. Keat, and from thence passed into the quadrangle of the college, which was crowded by well-dressed people, principally old Etonians, or relations and connexions of the scholars. The procession, after parading before their Majesties, proceeded in military order, with banners flying, and accompanied by the hinds of the Life Guards, and Scotch Fusileers, to Salt-hill. The road was literally crammed with the carriages of the nobi lity and gentry, together with a very dense cavalcade of horsemen. The most conspicuous among the numerous equipages were those of the Royal party, of the 'Marquess of Londonderry, the Earl of Bandon, Lady Linton, and of Lords Hawarden, Doneraile, and Kinnaird. The order of the procession was well preserved throughout, and about two o'clock reached the principal seat of action, Salt-hill, where the usual waving of the flag took place in the pre sence of their Majesties, who seemed highly delighted with the scene, though we regret to sly his Majesty slid not look in health. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there were sufficient intervals between the showers to en able the company assembled to enjoy the scene, and we can safely affirm a greater show of female fashion and beauty than the numerous carriages contained was never witnessed on a similar occasion. Mr. Botham, the excel lent host of the Windmill, and Mr. Cecil, his rival, at the Castle, had provided an ample stock of provisions to sustain the siege which their respective establishments lite rally underwent for several hours, from the hundreds, or rather thousands, of persons who were assembled. rhe heavy fall of rain which took place towards five o'clock, pre vented the promenade in the gardens of the Windmill, and, in cooperation with the gentlemanly feeling - which pre vailed among the boys, preserved the flowers and plants from the destruction which we have witnessed on former occasions. The road home to Eton, on the return, pre sented a scene which must have been seen to be properly understood. The torrents of rain which were falling, completely drenched all those who were not fortun ite enough to be in close carriages. Horsemen, chaises, coaches-and-four, and innumerable groups of people on foot, were flying in all directions ; the road was a mingled crowd of " Greeks, archers, highlanders, soldiers, and nondescripts." It resembled the rout and flight of an army ; and by the time they arrived at Eton, nothing was to be discerned of the pomp and circumstance by which the morning had been distinguished. We arc happy to say no accidents occurred. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SETTLING for the DERBY and OAKS. This interesting "epilogue" to the races took place yes. terday at Tattersall's, which was crowded from noon till nearly six o'clock ! The adjustment of accounts proceed ed very slowly; and it was evident, from the number of serious faces, that there was a terrible deficiency of the " one thing needful ;" every thing, however, went off quietly. It is not now the fashion to levant; those who are unlucky enough "throw out" find it answer better to pay a little on account, and " promise " the remainder, the value of which may be calculated without the assistance of Cocker. A still better way is to bet through the medium of friends, and leave them to pay —or, to give bills and dispute the payment on account of their illegality ! ! For these reasons it will not do to say there was a levanter ; but there was an absentee, the party who on Monday started the objection about St. Giles, which objection he has actually stuck on all the walls at the West-end of the town, headed " St. Giles not entitled to the Derby Stakes." The case is simply thus :—Some time back it was discovered that, in the description of St. Giles for the Derby, a slight error had been committed in naming the gran dam, and it was currently reported that he was dis qualified : in the First Spring Meeting, however, the matter came before the Jockey Club, who de cided that the identity of the horse was perfect, the names of the sire and darn being given as required by the 17th rule, and that, consequently, St. Giles was qualified to run for the Derby. He then came regularly into the market, and amongst those who betted against hint was the very party alluded to; bad the horse lost, there is no doubt that he would have attended to receive ; but the reverse happening to be the case, he makes use of this pretext to avoid the payment of bets made with his eyes open. The objection, to be valid, ought to have been made before the race. Although the losses were numerous and heavy, there was no one to second this quibble. The defalcations of the party alluded to are stated to exceed four thousand pounds. It is gratifying to add that the Derby is allow e d to have been a perfectly fair race : it was decisive p andr(,proud to of triumph ip h ,h e b ev thewa s itsuperioritynning North-country horse, t h uf e sp o rtsmen %rI. owner, . a dsdale's stable, nd a t y he w j e o l jockey k b ey e were all Yorkshire—the second horse was Yorkshire—the third from the same county—and the fourth bred is the North ! When will Newmarket hedge to this? At one time the odds we t e high against St. Giles—who, during the pet iod of his supposed disqualification, could have been purchased for five hundred pounds : he is now worth three thousand ; while the third horse, Trustee, was sold yester day, to Lord Cleveland, for two thousand guineas ! The conduct of the party throughout has been in the highest degree sportsmanlike and honourable, and cannot suffer from the groundless insinuations contained in the flaming posting-bill mentioned above.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE, TIMES. Slit,—During the all-absorbing question of Par liamentary Reform, which has almost entirely super seded the consideration of all others, I have re frained from my communications on what will (and as " you have pledged yourself" shall) follow— Ecclesiastical Reform ; but, as public attention will, if not again put off, be called to this important mea sure to-morrow evening, when the Archbishop's " Plurality Bill" is to be brought to a second read. ng by no less a personage than Dr. Lushington, I 'lave deemed it expedient to resume my correspond ence, on what it will now be the imperative duty of all well-wishers to the established church to press upon their representatives,—namely, such a measure of Ecclesiastical Reform, as, while it secures to the Church at large all its rights and privileges, shall effect, as Lord Suffield most properly observed, "a more just and efficient distribution of its funds." Neither of the Bills yet brought forward, nor the one now proposed by his Grace of Canterbury, have touched, or attempted to touch, the real abuses which exist in the Church,—viz. an alteration of Liter Regis; the doing away pluralities, or at any rate makiug value, and not distance, as in the Archbishop's Bill the criterion ; or, 3dly, appropriating some of the rich and useless sinecures in the eight cathe drals, and the tithes of some obscure parishes where no duty is done. The churches being returned " destruct," and which, while they only benefit the few,—who are, for the most part, the sons or cousins, or nephews, or sons-in-law, of bishops or boroughmongers, or tutors in bishops' or noble men's families,—bring odium on the clergy at large, and rob the poorer and industrious labourer in the vineyard of his just remuneration, I shall confine the observations in this letter to the abuse of first fruits and tenths, as they are at present by " law established." I have proved that three of the highest dignitaries—the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Llandaff and Carlisle—receive 35,570/. per annum, and pay only 3,1131. Os. 10d., and only 3211. 10s. 10d. annual tenths, instead of 3,727/. ; and that the fair seven years' average of the Bishops', 167,000/. first fruits, while they pay only 23,9681. to the bounty fund, for the augmenta tion of the benefices of the poorer clergy. I now read you the preferments of a few Church conserva tives, and I think you will say that it is not by a Bill regulating the holding of preferments within a three mile instead of a forty-five, that Reform in the Church is to be effected, but that it must begin here.

But I do not exaggerate in estimating their joint incomes at 32,0001. per annum. Instead, then, of coming upon Parliament for grants from the conso lidated fund, for the augmenting the stipends of the poorer clergy, and upon parish rates and the public purse, for funds for building new churches,—here it is that the great work must begin.

Some stockholders, resident in the city, have taken up th e consideration of the question, how far the arrangementsmen tothep a u t the Bank bik of debt, aresusEcenpgtlin susceptible of o fo f r the nna improvement, iage with a view to their own convenience of accommodation, and they propose to memorialize the Lords of the Trea sury for the adoption of some suggestions to that effect, in any renewal which may take place of the Bank charter. This is a step the propriety of which can hardly he dis puted, since the stockholders form at least as important a class as the town or country bankers, or any other now combining to bring about a change of system in their own favour ; and it is rather surprising than otherwise, that nothing with that view has yet been undertaken. The circumstance which seems to be most complainei of in the present mode of management, is the practice of shutting the books and preventing any transfers of stock, during six or seven weeks previous to the payment of the dividends. An immense capital is thus locked up, to which the owner cannot have access without the trouble and diffi culty of a special application, and the consequences have often been most serious, but more particularly in the panic of 1825, which was at its height at the period of the shutting in December, and was without doubt ma tetially aggravated by it. There is not, we believe, any other capital in Europe in which so inconvenient a practice exists. In Paris, transfers are suspended for one day only, in consequence of the payment of the interest on the debt, which amounts to nearly 300 millions; and this is accomplished by a very simple process—in reserving the dividend after a period fixed on to the seller, and the stock sold is placed to the account of the buyer, for the succeed ing dividend. This practice, it is conceived, might be adopted here with advantage. It has also been suggested, as another expedient, that the stockholder might have the privilege of transferring his stock, before the shutting, to the Directors of the Bank, and receive a certificate enti tling the bearer to the stock and the dividend after the opening ; also, that lie might be allowed to sign a declara tion of his being the holder of certain stock, which would pass for the time as an actual sale, and be an authority for the Accountant General to transfer the stock into the name of the buyer as soon as the books were again opened. The Paris mode, however, seems to be the best and the simplest. It is said that some of the Bank Direc tors have been consulted about the practicability of such an alteration, but that they are strongly oppo se d t o it, on the ground that it would involve an immense in crease of expense, and oblige them to retain between 200 and 300 additional clerks. This will not, however, be allowed as a valid objection, if the Ministers are satisfied that the interests of the public require it. It is for the stockholders, therefore, to establish their case....

DON PEDRO AND DON MIGUEL.—The approaching struggle between these fraternal opponents furnishes a motive of peculiar interest to the perusal of an article in the present number of the United Service Journal, entitled " A Narrative of the Warfare of the Western Islands, up to the assembling of the present Ex pedition." It details the operations planned and executed by those faithful adherents of Don PEDRO, the inhabitants of Terceira, from the summer of 1829, when MiGuEL's expedition against that island was repulsed by Count VILLA FLOE, to the successful enterprise of the Consti tutionalist against Fayal, and their subsequent capture of St. Michael's and the AzoreA, together with some conclud ing remarks by the writer (an eye-witness of the operations in that quarter) as to the prospects of success for the armament now collected by Don PEDRO. The patriotic and venerable Sir JOHN NEW rowr has published an instructive record of the working of the borough system in Ireland at the period of the Union, and of the virtuous administration of the finances under Lord CASTLEREAGH, when every trader in the borough line, civil and ecclesiastical, had a net sum of 15,0004 awarded to him as compensation for the loss of his perennial plunder. We have " marched," thank Heaven', to some good purpose since.— Times. On Saturday afternoon a distressing accident occurred to Mrs. RICKWORD, the lady of Mr. RICK/VORD, surgeon of this town, which, we are sorry to add, has placed her life in imminent danger. She was proceeding from Lewes in a gig, driver, by her servant, and on the road near the Bear Inn, at Brighton-barracks, a dog rushed upon and bit the horse in the nose, which caused him to plunge and start off at full speed, by which the un fortunate holy and the servant were precipitated front the vehicle into the road. Mrs. RICIWORD was taken up in a lifeless state, and conveyed in a gentleman's carriage to the house of M r . D AVIS , surgeon, Waterloo-place, Brighton, where she remains in the most precarious state, labouring, we understand, under a concussion of the brain. The servant escaped with a few slight bruises.—Lewes Journal. The late rains have had an extraordinary effect upon the hops, which after having been unusually backward are climbing the poles with a healthful vigour almost unexampled. On Saturday last a most tremendous storm of thunder and lightning passed over Mountnessing, Butts bury, and other places in that part of the county. The lightning was truly vivid, and, we understand, has done considerable damage in different parts. Near Thessaler Hall several large trees were shivered to atoms, and it was stated that one or two buildings in the line in which the storm passed were fired and partly consumed by the elec tric fluid. Some cattle were also struck dead in the fields. The storm was accompanied by a sharp shower of hail, which has done considerable damage to the fruit trees.— Essex Mercury. On Saturday last, at Kinnaird, a man of the name of KIDD, a labourer at Hill and Maryton, was amusing himself, shooting with a double-barrelled gun. He had fired one of the barrels, and, as is supposed, was reloading it, when the other, which was heavily charged, went od, and killed him on the spot. REPRESENTATION OF GATESHEAD. (From the Tyne Mercury of Tuesday). The committee for insuring the election of Cuth bert Rippon, El., as the rep' eseutative of Gates head, having issued a hand-bill inviting the friends of that gentleman to go in procession to meet him at Team Bridge, a very numerous party set out for that purpose from the Black Bull Inn, between eleven and twelve o'clock this forenoon (Monday, June 11) accompanied by a band of music. The populace, on Mr. Rippon appearing, took the horses from his cordage, and drew him with ropes to the inn. He arrived about twenty minutes before one o'clock, old immediately stood up and addressed the im nense multitude to the following effect : Gentlemen,—You have now the opportunity put into your hands of exercising the elective franchise —the highest privilege which as Englishmen you can have, that of declaring your sentiments and speaking your will in the management of the affairs of the nation.—(Applause.) It is not necessary for , ne to make any observations on the duties of elec tors of Members of Parliament. No man can lay claim to the spirit of patriotism who merely looks to the interest of the place in which he dwells, and hoes not attend chiefly to the welfare of our common country. After a momentous struggle of many months—after many and great sacrifices, we have ai length obtained the Reform Bill.—(Great applause.) But recollect, gentlemen, that Reform is only the means to destroy abuse. The monster now lies prostrate at your feet ; but you must strike a mortal blow, or he will rise up again in all his horrors.—(Applause.) Look at the state of the House of Lords. Look at the hesitation of the Mo narch to give his assent to the measure even after ithad been adopted by both brandies of the legislature. Can the House of Commons, even in its Reformed state, operate effectively for the benefit of the people while there is such a counterpoise as the House of Lords to nullify its efforts ? I ventured some 15 months ago, when the matter was not so popular as at present, to advance an opinion that the principles of Reform should be acted upon in the House of Lords as in the House of Commons ; that one branch of the Legislature needed a Reformation as much as the other. That opinion was deliberately formed, and I now see no reason to change my sen timents on the subject; but, on the contrary, I am more confirmed in my belief.—(Applause.) The same principles that have been applied to the House of Commons must also be brought to bear on the House of Lords—enfranchisement, disfranchisement, and an extension of the right of voting. Gentle men, we must disfranchise the Bishops.—(Laughter and applause.) We must also apply the principle of enfranchisement by sending liberal men into that House to act as a counterpoise to that weight of Tory influence which still exists within its walls. We must have voting by proxy done away. These are the principles which have been tried in amend ing the representation of the people. I entreat you to remember, that the question whether we shall gain any advantage by the Reform Bill depends en tirely on ourselves. I call upon you less as electors of Gateshead than as electors of England, to show your adhesion to the principles of the Reform Bill, by returning to Parliament men who will look to the welfare of their country—that you may eventually enjoy what you have not enjoyed for many years, the advantages of good Government. I sincerely and honestly hope that you will remember those men who have faithfully served you in the House of Commons, who have stood between you and aristocratic despo tism, that you will recollect those who in both Houses of Parliament stood forward to vindicate your rights. There is one person connected with this county whom I would particularly notice, as I have the honour of a personal acquaintance with him—l mean Lord Durham.--(Applause.) He nobly vindicated your rights. He cast aside the imputation of your servile dependence upon any man. If a member of his family should come forward as a candidate for the county, I hope the electors will show their gra titude to the Noble Lord by bringing a relative into Parliament. By the kindness of a friend, I have received a communication purporting to come from some of the electors of Gateshead, and which inti mates that my politiCal opinions are not sufficiently known. I shall, therefore, take the present oppor tunity of expressing them fully. I believe on a former occasion I expressed myself as an enemy to all monopoly. Such I unhesitatingly avow myself to be at this moment. The communication to which I have alluded mentions the Corn Bill,and inquires my sentiments on that subject. The corn, gentle men, is, in my opinion, the worst of all monopolies, because it is a tax on the poor man's loaf.—(Great applause.) The communication goes on to say, that I am a landowner, and therefore cannot be sup posed to feel deeply interested in the prosperity of the borough, or of the manufacturing interests in general of the country. I admit that the interests which I possess in this world consist in land, but I c ,nnot admit the conclusion of the author of this document; I think nothing can be more conducive to the prosperity of the landowner than by abolishing the restrictions upon trade. The agriculturists say that they pay more tax than the manufacturers. If this be the case they ought to receivea little more protection. But is it so ? Are the tithes, taxes, and fiscal dues paid by the agriculturist more in proportion than is obtained from the manufacturer ? If not, then the former can have no claim in prece dence of the latter. Indeed, I think,if the agriculturist has any such claim it is a very small one. The next question relates to the monopoly of the Bank char ter, and the monopoly of the Bank of England. I hope if the East India Company's charter is renewed it will be placed on quite a different footing from what it has been. if that Company is allowed to conduct the government of India, I trust they will not be permitted also to act as a kind of merchant monarchs.—(Applause.) I hope to see the banking system of England placed on a firm basis : and that the country will be free from those panics which result from the want of such stability. In regard to my political opinions, you all know that I am a Re former both in Church and State.—(Applause.) In Church especially, because no part of the Consti tution needs Reform so much as that. Look at the appearance of Reform which has been introduced in order to beguile the people. Look at the Plurality Bill, which, instead of abolishing plurality, only substitutes 35 for 40. It is insulting to the people that an Archbishop should bring such a bill into Parliament. And it is insulting to the people that his Majesty's Ministers should sanction such mea sures. I believe, however, they shut their eyes on the subject for the sake of the Reform Bill. If so, I thank them. But now the Reform Bill is passed, Ministers may throw off the mask, and declare their real intentions. Remember, gentlemen, there must be a fresh collision between the two Houses of Par liament. Again must the battle be commenced and fought through. It is true the Lords have retreated, but the venom remains as before. What was their conduct when the views arid wishes of 20 millions of people were laid on their Lordships' table ? Those who are living as pensioners on the resources of the nation rose up against the measures. My Lord Ellenborough, with immeasurable insolence, said that now it was for them to consider whether Reform should be granted, or, which amounted to the same thing, whether they should give up the power which they possessed of plundering the people.—(Applause.) With regard to other points, as it respects the criminal law, I shall like to see a mitigation of its severity. Government has preferred the principle of example to that of actual instruction ; but it is our duty to save and not to destroy. Attempts are making to disannul those sanguinary enactments, and I hope, should I have the honour to be elected as your representative, that those enactments will be destroyed before I see the walls of the House of Commons.—(Applause.) In respect to the question of slavery, I must say that I am an enemy to slavery of every clime and colour. —(Applause.) I look at it in the light of a great moral question. I consider not the interests of co lonists; but I look primarily to the rights of huma nity. I cannot recognize any right in the traffic of human flesh and blood ; and I trust you will find doing my duty on that question as a Christian id a man.—(Applause.) Another question of my nonymous correspondent is respecting the pro priety of a tax on funded property. • And here let me observe, gentlemen, that I am ready at all times ro give a statement of my views on every subject which concerns the welfare of the country. I shrink riot from the severest scrutiny—nay,.l court inquiry. t cannot see then why there should not be a tax on funded as well as upon landed . property. I think there are a few other points on which I must say a few words. There is reform in the law ; but this is so much a professional subject that I do not feel myself competent to enter into its details, nor would any remarks upon the question afford you much gratification. I hope, however, that justice will speedily be substituted for law, which is not the case at present. Then there are the taxes upon knowledge. I think every restriction of that kind should be taken away. A system of general edu cation should be adopted, untrammelled by those bigoted restrictions which we now see imposed on such plans. Look, for instance, at the scheme of the Dean and Chapter of Durham. I think every child should be taught to worship God according as its parents think proper. The anonymous writer inquires whether I am opposed to the union of ' Church and State. When I addressed the inhabi tants of this assembled county on the occasion be fore alluded to, I offended the son of a Noble Lord by some such expression as this, " The hideous har lotry of Church and State," and I think after that I need say no more on the subject.—(Applause.) The Hon. Gentleman then went on to say that he was a friend to triennial Parliaments. Some person had issued a handbill, with a statement that a Mem ber of Parliament should consider himself as the de legate of the people. He thought " delegate" and " representative" were synonymous terms. If ever he entertained a different opinion from his constitu ents on any great measure, he would deliver back into their hands the trust they had reposed in him. He said that his property depended more on the lead mines in that vicinity than on its own particular pro duce. His was a consuming, not a producing pa- Fish. Mr. R. concluded amidst great applause, by hoping that no opposition would be started merely for the sake of serving private ends. Mr. Rippon, with several of the company, then retired into the large room of the Black Bull Inn. In answer to several questions from different indi viduals, Mr. R. said that he thought all tithes should be done away. He concurred in the principle of sir. Baring's Bill, but thought it went too far. If a man was overtaken by some calamity and thereby rendered unable to pay his debts, he did not see why that should prevent his ever entering the House of Commons; but certainly the privilege of Parliament should never be a bar to honesty, or en able any man to commit fraud. Ile thought a Member of the House of Commons should not be tied down entirely. Sometimes a measure that would work well for the particular place which he represented might not be advantageous to the coon try at large. __ Jos. PRICE, Esq , then desired that Mr. Rippun and the committee would retire to his house. The company then left the room. It was rumoured that Mr. Attwood would offer himself to the electors, and a par►y of friends waited on him to know his intentions. lie has, we are as sured, declined coming forward, and there can be no doubt, therefore, that Mr. Rippon will be returned to Parliament as Member for Gateshead. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. (RECEIVED THIS MORNING.) BRUSiELS, JUNE 9.—ln the sitting of the Clantb, , r of Representatives yesterday, M.

Tile cholera continues at Ghent, especially in the street des Afotres, which is a very unhealthy part of the city, inhabited by the indigent classes. At Furnes the cholera appeared on the Ist, there were two cases. Th3re have been no new cases since the 7th. At Aldingkerke, a league fron► Furnes, there have been two cases, and a few at Mons.

FHONTIERS OF POLAND, MAY 22.—1❑ proportion as tranquillity is confirmed in Poland, the measures of thy• Russian Government abate in rigour. The most recent letters from Warsaw affirm, that latterly the regulations for the amnesty are extended as far as possible, and that no mollestation was offered to persons who were not so teeply implicated ; that oblivion of their acts was impos sib!e. As these letters deserve entire credit, several per sons who, though they had not taken any direct part to the revolution, did not think themselves safe in Poland, ,►re preparing to return to that country.—Stcabian HANOVER, JUNE 4.—ln the night of the 2d, French tri•coloured flip were hoisted at Bengen and Budesheim, the authorities immediately had them taken down.—l-ht. /toyer Gazette. NUREMhURG, JUNE I.—Among the numerous accounts of the fke at Hambach, are extracts from the speeches of Dr. NVirth and others. Dr. Wirth, it seems, spoke in the oitterest terms of France. " France," said he, " has been so good as to do us the honour to assure us, through a special deputation now here, that it will make no objection to the union of Germany in our state. But do not look to France for help ; it is torn to pieces by parties ; we ask—. we need no help. The hatred of Germany to France must never relax. The ambition of France is notorious, but we will assist the integrity of our country wherever our languago is spoken ; all our tribes, however otherwise divided, all Ci us, even to the infant at the breast, must be inspired with united vigour, if ever a Frenchman dares to tread a hand breadth of German ground with hostile intentions." Ac these words all the French present withdrew, offended aroi angry. Wirth did not treat some of his friends any better. He called Savaye and Schuler traitors, saying that the association for the liberty of the press under them dud not at all support the cause of the union of Germany, but wanted to sell the country to France. He therefore .olemnly renounced his connexion with that association, from which Germany could expect no good. What ground there may be for Wirth's assertion we will not de cide, but the friends of these two gentlemen publicly affirm, that the circle of the Rhine will never prosper un less united with France. The question was warmly dis cussed in the deliberations upon the fete, but it was easy to see that the very great majority of those who had flocked to the fete felt uneasy when they found the plea sure which they expected, in saluting each other as Ger mans, bound together by ties of country, and attachments was changed, by the hated passions of some partisans, into moments of fearful gloomy foreboding. This feeling was particularly evident when Wirth took the sword sent hint from Frankfurt, with words which I refrain from repeat - ing. I will also refrain from indicating those on whom Wirth called down " Curses, threefold curses.' Some of his associates, indeed, applauded, and cried " Down with them ! arms, arms ;" but the greater part of them showed by their uneasy looks how painfully such revolutionary rage affected them.—Allgemeine Zeitung, June 6. The news of the Reform Bill having passed was brought to Havre on Wednesday morning by the Camilla, the Southampton steam-packet, dressed out in all her colours and laurel branches. The French vessels at anchor in the roadstead, guessing the cause for such a display, immediately hoisted their flags. The vessels lying in the docks at Havre followed the example.— French Paper. PUALIC REJOICINGS,--The Reformers of Leeds have come to the determination to celebrate the passing of the Reform Bill by a public dinner, consisting of good old English fare—of roast beef, plum putlin; 4 , and strong beer; which will be honoured by the attend ance of the Liberal Candidates for the representation of the Borough, who will address the inhabitants. In the ap proaching festival, the rich and the poor, the worlon and his master, will sit down together to such a repast as has never before been witnessed in Leed4.—L,etis Mercury. The kills are lowering on the Guilford-road, as well at the eastern entrance of that town as on tt," west side of Cobham.
