INDIAN TRANSNIIGRATION.---" This belief in the malice of evil spirits or deities Was long made use of to thwart Emoz's designs. The Manitou of the ()sages Was a serpent of enormous size, Which the priestess had We power of charming, though, to every other, its bite as mortal. Some of the more superstitious Indians had a Nlabitou, or evil genius, in their dwellings, to keep them from harm ; the belief they often held in tran - m i gration conduced to this practice. To the wandering Indian, Whose eye often followed with desire the rapid flight of the eagle and the deer, it was, no doubt. sweet to believe thdt his soul after death should roam through the regions of the air, and over the plains, without ever being wea ried. 4 I remember,' says Bossy, in a vil:age of the Illinois, one of our soldiers went into a hut, and found a liv e snake, which he killed ; the master arriving quickly titter, fell into a terrinle passion to find his deity dead, and tittered a wild lament; he said it was the soul of his f ather, who died about a year before; that the old man bail loved to pursue and kill the serpents, having envied het • r rapid movements, by whi c h they glided from rock to N, and swam over wide rivers.; and when his limbs bite stiff, and his frame bowed, be lunged that he might a serpent after death.' "—Carne's Lives of Eminent migtionariet, (No. 12.435.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIy oUSE. Yesterday, the foreman of the inquest of Pot.- soken ward waited on Mr. Alderman HUGHES, wl:o sat for the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of corr... plaining against a man named Abrahams, the keeper of a fiTh-stall in Arrow-court, Petticoat. , lane, for ex posing a quantity of fish for sale which was unlit for human food. The foreman of the inquest stated that a greater mortality had taken place in the neighbourhood cf Petticoat-lane since the commencement of the pre vailing disease than in any other part of the city, and he attributed it in a great measure to the un wholesome naiure (,f the food sold to the inhabi tants of that particular place. He then described that, as he was passing through Arrow-court that morning, he saw a quantity of cod fish, which ap peared 10 be in a putrid state exposed for sale on the stall of a man named Abrahams, who supplied many of the poor of that neighbourhood wth the ttriicle of fish. Upon seeing that the fish was totally uofit for the food of man, and if eaten in that condition I , kely to produce illness at this crisis, the foreman had the whole of it seized, to prevent the conse quences that would probably ensue to those who would have purchased it. The foreman added, that under these circumstances he deemed it his duty to seize the fish, in order that it might be destroyed forthwith. Mr. Myers, a fishmonger, by whom the fish in qut stion was examined, stared, that the whole of the cod were in that unwholesome condition, that the very smell proceeding from them was sufficient to engender illness. Mr. Alderman HUGHES, in condemning the fish to be destroyed, severely cen•ured the conduct of Abrahams in exposing it for sale, and only regretted that he was not invested with the power of inflict ing a summary punishment on him, besides award ing the forfeiture of the article. The Alderman, however, assured the defendaut that if he was brought there again for a similar offence, he shout,' be indicted. • . / Z-V ,--- ._ ... / " 1 .---- . • /- ,' - - -tw , „ • --- „ )• , 1 ' t 414 .... - 41. , ~..v.2;' , ...„. .„,-.,--,-• ,v.• -__ -...3. 1 . - ... ...,.._. ~„„,,„k --„.. ,46 A ; .il A.,,-;•-• 8 , . ff - , - - / ;,., ~.,-::. - . k. & ft, • . . . , -.7.4., - , 76' .4) 4 , • 0 ~. i • ; ; 3 i'el - -i:'c. * • ' 1 .ie.f , /,1/Iffi, _-- ' -14 3 ''' ~ ,t ) t' ' 1 ittqw,, 1 „filka ter . k e ,4 mpta! -,/ I t _ ~,, .4, , • di %,,,,,.

Yesterday, Richard Butler and Jo hn Chapman were brought to this office, in the custody of Murch and Flyer, sergeants of the G division of police, charged with having created a disturbance in the street, and disseminating a satirical publication, entitled the Reformers' Catechism. It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon, the pri soners were observed near the statiomhouse in Clerkenwell, surrounded by an immense mob of persons, whom they were haranguing in a vociferous manner, and exciting the risibility of their muscles to such a degree, that the peaceable inhabitauts were greatly annoyed. The superintendent's atten tion being attracted by their extraordinary conduct, and conceiving from the tenour of the Catechism, that the Established Church was likely to be brought into great disrepute, lie ordered the ser geants to seize the offenders and their obnoxious papers. Mur:h handed in the publications to Mr. See jeant SELLON. They were headed as follows: " A Catechism, that is to say, an Instruction to be learned by every person in order to become a Re former ;" and a picture, representing Britannia cate chising a member of the Union, composed of the most substantial requisites to make a good Re former. The picture of the member consisteuof a plum•podding f hi. A... los trill,. sutloin of beef for the body, and two quartern loaves and two pots of porter for hi- legs, and carrots for arms. The back around rt- presented the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel running assay in a state of alarm. Murch stated that the prisoners questioned and answered each other from the papers, affecting great solemnity. Butler asked " What is your names.?" Chapman replied " A radical." " Who gave you that name? " Public opinion, and the enlightened age, when I was made a member of reformation, a child of the people, and an inheritor of the land of locusts." The Reformers' creed went on to say " I believe in Lord John hussell, maker of Reform, and rights of the people, and in Brougham and Grey, his firm supporters," &c. First Command ment—" Thou shalt have none other Reform but Russell's." Response—" Britons arouse, and keep this law." Second —" Thou shalt not make to Thyself the likeness of any of the Tories that are in the Lords above or in the Commons heneath,or the tory electors under the Commons. Thou shalt never bow to or agree with them, for we the people are a firm and sub stantial people; we will hoot and disgrace the To ries unto the third and fourth generation in those that oppose us ; yet support with our thousands those that stand by us to gain our rights." Re sponse—" Britons arouse, and keep tins law." Third, fourth, fifth—" Thou shalt honour Brough hain, Russell, and Grey, and crown them with laurels, for the bill they have given thee," &c. At the conclusion of the Tenth Commandment, the master is represented to say to his pupil, " Now let us say, lighten our darkness, that we may see the corruption and oppression we labour under, arid de fend us from all attacks of Nosey arid the rest of the Tories, for the love of Russell, Brougham, an d Giey. Amen." In answer to Mr. Serjeant SELLON, the prisoners said they were nor aware of doing w rong. Mr. Serjeant SELLoN said, collecting a mob o f pereons by any means in the street, even though it was merely through waving a handkerchief, was a bleach of the peace. He should discharge them now, and he hoped they would avoid being taken intocustody again. Murch inquired whether he should return the publication to the prisoners. . . Seijeant SELLON said, certainly not. Mr. Quick, the printer of them, stepped forward, and r. quested to know by what authority the Ma gisnate ordered the detention of the papers. Mr. Serj. SELLON said he had disposed of the case, and if he (Mr. Quick) wished to act friendly to wards the young men, he should advise them not to offend against the law again. The parties then quitted the office. MARY LEB ONE. " IN TIME FOR TIII3 SOUP."—Mary Valencey, a genteel looking young woman, came to this office to ask Mr. HOSKINS'S advice how she ought to act under the following circumstances : The complainant s:ated that as she was walking along P.ak-lane, on Sunday morning (dressed in her hest attire), in company with a female acq ua i ntance , when they got opposite th e residence of Loid Ducie she (the complainant) was almost frightened out of her senses by receiving from one of his Lordship's windows au immense quantity of soup, which nearly blinded her. As soon as she recovered her eyr sight by the assistance of her friend, who wiped the savoury liquid from her face , she was assailed by the hue and cry of a number of wag-, whose atten. lion by this time was attracted by her grotesque icicles around th e soup hanging like so ma n y around her bonnet, and in the folds of her dress ; and although her friend had turned her white cambric pocket-handkerchief into a towel, yet her face was far from being free from grease. In this plight she waded through the mob, and made the best of her way home, with the soup d ri pp in g from her dr ess , and the sun shining on it, to the no small amusement of the bystanders, who seemed to delight in her misfo r t une , and frequently assailed her with shouts of " There :he goes . what a shocking bad bonnet'. " &c. Upon reaching home her friends advised her to go to Lord Ducie's house, and endeavour to find out the person who had PARMA NIEN TAR Y PA PER. WRITS DE L UNATI CO INQUIREND 0.

A French provincial newspaper contains an extraor dinary case of simulated suicide, contrived for the purpose of evading the law of conscription. By the terms of th law the eldest eon of a widow is not liable to serve. is this case, the father of a young man, who had just been drawn as a conscript, concerted a scheme for the pur pose of making it believe.l that he had destroyed bums in order to obtain the young man's exemption, as the son of a widow. The plan was laid with considerable inge nuity. A letter was written to announce his resolution and to assign his reasons for it, and, on the same day, his clothes were found on the banks of a neighbouring river, but a diligent search hiving led to no traces of the hotly. a was still alive, that there was really no corpus delicti, and that the whole was a mere contrivance to protect the son from the performance of his military duties. The attempt. however, proves what sacrifices the lower classes are willing to mike for the purpose of avoiding this compulsory ser vice. In this case, a father was ready to abandon hi. home, and to separate himself for many years from his wi e and family, in order to effect not his own, but his son's liberation. The mutilation of the first finger of th right hand has in many places been resorted to for a similar purpose, but the young men of Paris have latterly adopte I a more ingenious contrivance, although originating in the same b ‘rbarous principle. By the means of spectacles id a high magnifying power, they are able, by constant use. to produce such an effect on the optic nerve, as to lank , then,selves incapable of serving in the army. By the re gulations of the service, very short-sighted people are not in fact admitted into tite ranks. Availing themselves of this regulation, or rather of the principle of expediency by which it is dictated, there is, I believe, in Paris, a mucus greater number of young men who have made themselves short-sighted by this artificial process, than those who have become so in the ordinary course of nature. FRENCH FORGERY. It appears by letters from Paris, that the Tribunal de Commerce of that city has just been called upon to de cide a question of considerable importance to the Bank of France, in consequence of a well-executed forgery which has recently been made on that establishment. Offends of that kind are of very rare occurrence in France, and on former occasions, when the good faith of a holder w a s apparent, it was the practice of the B ink to rel eve the party from loss. It was probably found, however, that this practice became gradually a sort of premium to care lessness. When the imitation in question, therefore, o the 500 franc note made its appearance, it was resolved that it should not be paid, through whatever hand it might reach the establishment, and an action was conse quently brought against the Bank of France for the amount. Several parties concurred in the prosecution, in order to enable them to strengthen their case by a greater variet) of argument ; one contending that the note in question was good and genuine, in order to throw the proof that it was oth.rwise on the Bank ; and another party main tainin4 that the Bank had made itself responsible for the payment of what was acknowledg d to be spurious, by the imperfect manner in which the genuine notes were executed. It was argued by third party, that the extra mive privileges of the Bank, its exemption from stamp duties and the fees of registration, to which private esta blis,ments are exposed, and its indemnity from the corre sponding fines and penalties, give the holders of spurieu. paper a peculiar claim to reimbursement. When a forge note is presented at the Bank of France for p iyment, it the practice of the clerks to stamp it conspicuously with the word faux, or forged ; and one of the further claims of the parties in this suit was to require damages from the Bank for thus taking the law into itsown hands,withour the intervention of a court of justice. It was the opinion, however, of the Tribunal de Commerce, that, as no man could be called upon to pay a bill he had nut signed, the Bank on general principles was not liable. Their judg went was strengthened by the consideration that Bank. notes are not a legal tender, and it is one of the remarkable features of this case, that the judgment of the Court is se expressed as to lead to the inference, that if they had been a regal tender, the Rink might have become liable for th. payment of the forgeries in the hands of the bona jid.- holders. As to the facilities to forgery afforded by di imperfect execution of the genuine notes, the Court was of opinion, that, being a mere human invention, it was impossible to require absolute perfection, and difficult to draw the line at which carelessness on the part of the Bank should subject that establishment to the consequences fer which the plaintiffs contended. The Tribunal de Com merce, however, declared itself incompetent to determine the question raised by one of the parties, as to the genuine ness or validity of the note alleged to have been forged , so that if the point be insisted on, it must come before a Court with the intervention of a jury. The forgeries re. ferred to are supposed to have been executed by a litho.. graphic process.— Times. NOT SO BAD AS EXPECTED.—III the melo drama of the Caravan a dog named Carlo played a prin- cipal character. Diurlum, the singer, was also in tl.e same piece. One evening the latter went up to SHE &WAN, and, with a grave race, informed him that he 1:;,41 some bad news to rehite. SHICRIDAN eagerly inquired what it was, to which Diosum answered, that he felt him self so hoarse as to be unable to get through the songs.— SHeRIDAN, seizing him by the hand, rejoined, :tient!, you have relieved my iniud of a weight; I thought the dug had been taken ill." LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1832. brought her into such ridicule. This she accord ingly did yesterday morning, and on inquiry of the housekeeper she was informed that the soup had been thrown out by the man cook with an intention to punish some di orderly boys, who often distinbed the family by playing in front of his Lordship's house; but she positively refused to give her the aggressor's name, neither could she procure any sa tisfaction for the injury done to her Sunday best, el though they were rendered entirely useless, and had cost her upwards of 5/. She here displayed the du maged articles, which still retained a considerable portion of the rich liquid. Mr. HOSKINS desired Thisselton, an active of ficer of the establishment, to call at Lord Ducie's, and endeavour to get redress for the injury the young woman had sustained, and we understood that Thisselton intended to see his Lordship him self, and advise him in future, if he should have any soup to spare, to put the distribution of it into the hands of a more charitable almoner, Thisselton has twice called without success. Prob.by the young woman will cot receive any compensation fur the injury done to her dress. main with her the ordinary time, when she woL4H have them interred. She entreated that the body would be left with her, even for one day, that her other son, who lived at the west end of the tom:, might have an opportunity of seeing it. Mr. WALKER said, that by doing this she miet lose both her sons instead of one. Mr. Francis observed, that it would be an act of great humanity towards the mother herself to hav, the body removed from her presence as soon as po,- sible, as he understood she had frequently kissed the remains of her son after death, arid, therefore, ran a great risk of inhaling the dreadful disease of which he died. Mr. WALKER repeated the necessity of at once removing the body, and the poor woman left the office, declaring that, so long as she could retain posse-lion of it, she would not give it up. While at the office, however, the officers forced open the door, and took it away. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Elizabeth Shawe, a woman having the misfortune of possessing a very bad character, was yesterday brought to this office by Mace, a sergeant of police, charged with intermarrying with Edward Shawe, her former husband still living. The evidence was only slightly gone into, but presented one of the worst cases of this description that we ever met witty. The prisoner was married to her first husband about four or five years since, and deserted him in nine months, and became one of those degraded beings who nightly infest the west end. Fourteen months since she became ac quainted with the second husband, Shawe,a very re spectable young man, a hairdresser, with whom she resided until, by her extravagance, he had become pennyless, and he next experienced the same con duct as her former husband. l iki+ce, the police sergeant, deposed that he appre hended the prisoner at Jordan's, the Sun, iii Air street, Piccadilly, which has been frequently com plained of for diso , derly conduct. There were thirty or forty abandoned characters drinking theme. The prisoner was remanded. A little man, liamed Hughes, came before Mr. CONANT, to complain of an assault committed upon him by a youth named Rooney. Tne complainant walked up to the Bench with great solemnity, and, looking about him with an air of vast importance, began his statement as follows : " My name is Robert Hughes ; I have been for a considerable time in the employ of Mr. John Smith, Esquire, bookbinder to his Mjesty, in Long-acre." Hiving paused a moment, in order that the com munication should have due weight, he proceeded : " On Sunday morning last I sent my little girl for a haporth of milk, and I cautioned her particu• lady to see that she had full measure. Before she had got out of the house I heard a squall, and, knowing it could not proceed from my wife, who was in the ha( k room pickling salmon, I proceeded down stairs, and I drew from the girl that the de fendant had hit her a smack on the face. Without further delay, I went and demanded an explanation; hut, instead of receiving satisfaction, five persons, among whom was the defendant, fell upon me, and used me with the utmost barbaros ty. inquired Mr. CONANT. " I can call Mr. John Smith, Esquire, bookbinder to his Majesty, to my cha racter," replied Mr. Hughes, with an air of great dignify. This evidence not being requisite, the defendant, in explanation of the charge, admitted that the girl had received " a slap for her sauciness ;" but, so far from the complainant having been assaulted, the fact was he had been the aggressor; and the bruises he had got resulted from the potent nature of the pota tions he had indulged in that morning, which pre vented him from keeping his legs. " Oh fye ! (said Mr. Hughes.) Mr. John Smith, Esquire, bookbinder to his M jesty, Lofig-acre, will prove that I never was drunk in my life." Evidence having been brought forward which tended to confirm the statement of the defendant, the magistrate settled the matter by dismissing the complaint. Robert Francis Hoare, a ragged and half-starved Irish tailor, was charged with having amused himself by driving about in hackney-coaches, without having tile means of paying the fare. The defendant had been brought to the office on the Saturday previous on a similar cbarge ; and, when questioned as to his motive for taking a coach, he said he had just been discharged from Covent garden walch-house, and he wished to call upon several of his "friends" to let them know he was at Eberly. 'What are you? asked Mr. DYER. Defendant—Faith I'm an Irish tailor, and what's better, I'm born in the same county as my friend Misther O'Connell, and that's what every mother's son of ye can't say.

When he got there, the man was treated as an impostor, and was turned out of the house. Upon being asked why he called himself a rela tive of Mr. Howe, he assured the Magistrate that he was an "unlucky sprig of the same tree," and it the Magistrate wrcoe to his "friend, Misther O'Con nell," he would find it to be a fact. The Magistrate having directed some inquiry to be made, learned sufficient to induce him to ques tion the soundness of the man's intellect, and he was consequently again discharged. LAMBET fl-STREET. Yesterday Brueman, one of the beadles of White chapel, applied to Mr. WALKER for the assistance of an officer to remove the body of a young man, who had died on that morning of cholera, to a place of interment. Brueman stated that, on being made acquainted with the death of ihe deceased, he, as in all cases of the kind, immediately proceeded to the house %%hew he lodged with a shell, and demanded the body, but his mother locked the door, and re fused to give it up, saying that her son had died from the effects of cold, and not cholera. Dr. Fairbank, the medical gentleman, who had attend e d him, however, declared ihe case to be one of cholera, and the other lodgers in the house, and th e neighbours, were much alarmed at the body remaining there, and entreated that it would be forthwith removed. Mr. WALKER at once despatched Prendergast, the officer n► attendance, to the house to demand the body, and insist on irs immediate removal. The mother of the deceased still refusing to admit any person into her room, she was requested by Ml. Francis, one of the churchwardens of the pa rish, to accompany him before the Magistrate. She did so, and, on entering the justice-room, she i►► the most earnest manner entreated Mr. Walker not to deprive her of her last cot►sola tion, the remains of her son, but permit them to re- GERMAN MONARCHICAL ALLIANCE AGAINST THE LIBERTIES OF THE NORTH OF EUROPE. (From the Morning Chronicle ) The German patriots have not been indolent or unsuccessful. They have formed patriotic associa ' tions, united together to defend the liberty of the Press, held national assemblies and fetes, and have bound themselves together by one holy and virtuous alliance "to break their bonds asunder, and east away their cords from them." They propose to effect their liberation, civilization, and happiness, by legal and by constitutional means; they ask for no f ffl eign aid, and do not propose to appeal to Europe in favour of Germany any more than they will con sent to have her appealed to against Germany.— They propose to establish a free Press in each Sate—to point out to each Government of each State the necessity which exists for partial or ge neral changes—for partial or for general Reforms. The Germans are oppressed, and they know it ! That is the secret of all this agitation. So long as they were ignorant of their state of oppression they were subjects of pity, but not of sympathy; and whilst they hugged their chains, they were only worthy of compassion and not of love. But this is no longer the case—the events of Poland have tended to open their eyes. They have perceived the wisest, the brave•t, and the most virtuous, banished or torn from their families, their country, and their altars; and they know that amidst eternal snows or on burning sands they now expiate the crime of having desired the independence arid happiness of their country ! The events of Fiance have also tended to remove the film which obscured their vision. They have perceived that it is only to will to secure success. The Germans feel that they have hitherto been treated as serfs— that the feudal system still exists—that their op pressors consider them as their property—t'iat they make war and peace without consulting them —in many cases laws and decrees without asking their concurrence; and that. they call out soldiers, levy taxes, and punish offences as to them seems fitting or agreeable. The Germans feel also that the moment has arrived when, to remain aNy longer inactive, would be a crime of the deepest dye. " Now or never !" is the cry. and the Sovereigns of Germany, as well petty as great, fully understand the purport and the motives of all this agitation and The German wrongs are not imaginary. They are real and innumerable. They are material and substantial, as well as theoretical and moral. All the domestic concerns of life are subject to the im pertinences of a coarse and vulgar police. Al the farrely interests and private affairs of individuals are perpetually examined into by the prying eye of an inquisitive and °dime , espionage—and even a servant cannot be hiied or discharged without the approba tion of local authorities. You must not suppose that these injuries and these wrongs are not general in Germany. You must not imagine that it is only in some few States that this feudal system of Go vernment continues; but when you take the map of Germany, you may be sure that nine-tenths of that immense country are thus enslaved and de graded. The Polish revolution having been crushed—the Polish patriots having been persecuted, imprisoned, and banished—and their property confiscated, and 'heir children made slaves—the leading Princes of Germany resolved on attacking that spirit of in quiry and love of freedom, and that assembling and acting together by means of the press, and of large public meetings, which had, since the French revolu tion of 1830, been remarked in nearly the whole of the German States. Austria and Prussia took the lead in this " holy work" of the " Holy Alliance ;" and let us be just to all, in stating that the Court of Berlin has been more active in its counter-revolu tionary plots than the Cabinet of Vienna. As the protectors of the Confederation, the Courts of Vienna and Berlin have acted in concert ; and the result of their labours and studies was presented some time since to the representatives of all the petty German Princes, assembled at Frankfort.— For some time past these Representatives have been assembled in the " Free Town," and discussions have been held, the substance of which is unknown to the public, except sa far as their character is now understood by the public protocol of their labours. The Goveinments of Austria and of Prussia have taken the lead—the Governments of Bavaria, Ba den, and even Hanover, have been active supporters of the most di. graceful and intolerant measures which are now proposed; and when the whole plan was arranged, and the whole scheme was developed, why, then, the various Princes were consulted by their diffeient Representatives and Ministers; and finally, the adhesion of each Court was given to a series of measures, having for their object a Nlo narchical German Alliance against the liberties of Northern Eu ro p e . This is the history of " the public Protocol of the twenty-second sitting of the Diet of the Germanic haveFrankfort sv J onrilal. attacking Confederation," which has been made known to Europe by auth or i ty, an d w hi c h h as been officially published The German Sovereigns Consti tutions and Ch arters possessed b y some S tates, and in the resolved on which secure a certain portion of freedom to the in habitants—have resolved on crushing the Press, and on exterminating clubs, associations, and popular societies—have set about the task (poor creatures !) of putting down public opinion—are resolved that the human mind shall march b ickwards—are determined that no State shall possess independent and national institu tions, arid have even gone the length of establish mg a permanent Inquisition, whose business it is to prevent freedom of discussion—to prevent the pub lication of debates-10 prevent any attack on this German Confederation—to prevent any popular meetings —any petitioning or addresses—and to pre vent, by recouu se to arms , th e Mona r ch of one State from giving to his subjects the institutions they de mand, and for the attainment of which they are pre pared, if necessary, to die. This is the " Hob' Alliance" of Princes ! against the " Holy Alliance" of die German people ! 0. P. Q.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 18. Lord LUMLEY presented a petition from Mansfield, in the county of Nottinghain, against the Seut.;:i and Irish 'Vagrants Removal Bill. Mr. HOPE presented a petition from the workmen of Cnpar Mills, k the county of Fife, against the Bill for the regulation of labour in factories. Mr. MULLINS presented a petition from a parish in the county of Kerry, against the tithe system. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the petition. Mr. W. BROUGHAM brought up the report of the Committee on the General Registry Bill. He then pre sented a petition from the Jutish of Sr. Mary, Luther hithe, against the Vagrants' Removal Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL pre*ented a petition from the southern districts of the county of Dublin, agreed to at a meeting assembled on the top ofthe Three Rock Mount sins, against the tithe system. He also presented a petition from Mr. Cobhett, which as coming from an individual could net be printed, and th , refore the Learned Member said he would trouble the House with its details, some parts of which, however, he said he could not concur in. The petitioner stated that the provisions of the Reform Bill in respect to registration were extremely complicated, and it would be almost impossible to carry them into effect. He also complained that they tended to put the franchise into the hands of the rich and to mbar. rass the poor. He conceived that every man who was liable to be drawn for the militia was entitled to a vote. The Hon. Member hoped that suffi cient security would be given for a free exercise of votes, by the House visiting any improper foterf-rence with a severe punishment. The petitioner prayed for annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by ballot. Mr. HUNT said the petitioner had abused him for ad vocating the very measures which he was now anxious should be adopted. The petitioner hail been veering round for some time in his publication ; and now, rifl e r the Reform Bill had passer!, be came forward to have it completely altered by the intrtatluc tion of annual Parliaments, vote by ballot, arid universal suffrage. He was, and always should be, ready to vote for a snore extended measur, as he beii , .ved it to be the only means of preventing bribery, which was now going on to a great extent. At the present moment voters were having their rates paid for them. The voters of Stafford were all bribed. The Hon. Member did not know any person better qualifi••d than tt.epeti:ioner to turn round from one side to the other. Mr. HARVEY thought the clauie in the 13 11 which made it compulsory upon voters to pay their rate: on or before the 20th of July, was a great it-Moot...rot to bribery, hut he could not see that it would he prevented Ii annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by b .11or. If such a measure ever become law, the G , vernment of the country would have to be entirely altered, as a limited monarchy and a hereditary aristocracy were totally at vari ance with annual Parliaments. _ _ Mr. CAMPBELL denied that the electors of Stafford had been bribed. They were as respectable a body, at any rate, as the electors of Preston.—(Laughter.) He thought with the Hon. Member for Colchester, that the clause in the Reform Bill, with reference to the payment of rat a, would have a great tendency to increase bribery-, which would not be put an end to by the Bill now upon the table, unless the clause he bad proposed was added to it, namely, that all Menthe's before taking their seats should make an oath that they had not been guilty of bribery. Mr. O'CONNELL, in moving that the Petition should lie on the table, observed, that he should not enter into the quarrel of the petitioner with the Hon. Member for Preston or himself, but he wished to know if the present Bill had gone up to the House of Lords with universal suffrage attached ti it, the Hon. Member for Preston thought there would have been the least hopes of its sue cess.—(Heat, hear.) The people of England have hail a great boon granted to them by the Bill as it at present stood, and he (Mr. O'Connell) had no doubt they would duly appreciate it.—( Hear. ) Mr. HUNT had no doubt if the same force had been used as had been applied to the passing of the present Bill in the House of Lords, to a Bill giving universal suffrage, it, or any other Bill, would have passed. In his opinion, the vote by ballot was the only means of preventing bribery. INNS OF COURT. Mr, ITATI_V_R3L..4.I,I-,,1.,..t; wi rue motion winch he brought forward yesterday, with respect to Inns of Court, would have been resumed to day, but as he found that was . . not the case, he should, if an . occasion presented itself, revive the motion this evening; but if no oppottunity offered, he should bring it forward on Thursday the 26th. Mr. O'CONNELL explained th.it the petition he pre sented last night from the LAW Society of Dubdn, was in favour of the Civil Bill, and nut against it, tit had been represented. Mr. VERNON presented a petition from Chester, against the Scotch and Irish V !grants B. 1. On the motion of Mr. PORTMAN, the Highways Bill was committed pro forma, o: d. red vi he princrd, and the Report ordered to he taken in.() consi leration that thy three months. He hoped that the measure would be brought forward at a furore time by the secretary for the Home Departinebt. It cuss cessary that those laws relating to highways should be condensed and improved. At present one magistrate could pass the accounts of a tru-t, and ►here was no He trusted country gentlnuen who kne•v these laws well .vould take them into their considvratiou, an f s . improve v.ein in to give eatasfaction both to the pablic and the surveyors. 1111 7 . ESTCOURT was glad that this course had hem 4ursued, for there was a great deal in the pr e sent Bill which would not at all work well iu country pa , fishes. Mr. J. WOOD was very sorry that the state of public business was such at the present advanced p riod of the -ession as to prevent his Ron. Fiet,cl fioo, going on with the Bill, which was well c ticuleed to improve these Lave. The delay would be productive of one gipid—the more the public c , insider.•d the provisions of the Bill, the more they would be satisfied. Mr. CAMPBELL moved the second read'ng of the General Registration Bill. only meant that it should be committ-d pro forma, and he would then move tnat ,he report be taken into consi. - !eration that t:Lty three months. Mr. HERRIES hoped that no one would he considered 41 giving his ssnction to the principle of the Bill, because 40 opposition was offered to it. The BM was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. SUPPLY. Lord ALTHORP moved the order of the day for going into a C'ommittee of Supply. Mr. O'CONNELL put a que-tion to the Noble Lord r.lative to the compensation to h e allowed to Sir A. B. King fin- the loss of his patent office. Lord ALTHORP said that thr case had been referred o two arbitrators by the late Goternment, but Sir A. B. King alleged that he was not hound by Their decision. He .vished to ask the Hon. Gentleman who then fi led the iitua , ion of Chancellor of the ExcheTter rti bather be :onsidered the case as decided by those ,r.itratnis, an if Gov,rnment intendi d to act upon their decision. Mr. GOULBURN said he felt no difficulty in answering the Noble Lord—that Government having oi , ce referred the ca'e to arbitrators, they con,idered that they were bound by their decision, and would have acted J pon it. Mr. O'CONNELL had been atltel by Lord Levesou Gower to state that he would have s.:e.?rd trout the Go vernment he then belonged ro, hal they not acted upon the decision e.-me to by the arbitrators. Mr. DAWSON wished to be snowed to present a peti. tion from the city and county of Londondvrty, l•rayin{ that the 2001. a year now paid to the G.,veroor of Derry, should be devoted to the erection of a stone or iron bridge, toil free, .ver the river Foyle. Mr. D. W. HARVEY was de4irous to know whether my Honourable Member was anxious ti) open the debate svhich was ended so prematurely last night. He did not consider that it requited one word front hint, but he felt anxious on the subject on public grounds. Sir T. DENAIAN said he considered it unnecessary ; for his opinion was, that the Commissioners already hail power to inquire as far as the addres• of toe Him. Metnbtr went. In this opinion he was confirmed by the opinion of the Learned Gentleman at the head of the Cominissoin (the Honourable Member for Huntingdon), and he hid no doubt but that the result of last night's drb , att would be that they would extend their inquiries; but the usual course was, that the Lord Chancellor should direct the C0n0m..7 -ion to do so, which no dou'it would be n.itv don'. At all events, the wishes of the Hun. Member would be 11UV7 complitd with. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to ask a question of rely great importance. In Ireland the practice of a p,renipt. y challenge of Juries was only aliowyd in cases of ti luny duoishahle with death or tr anvorwion. Hr lint ty tio such liatinetion in law, and he tholigut it Was allowed hy law in any case of felony whvever. was una , ,are of any such distinction.
