The Commission for this county was opened early on Tuesday morning, after which the Judges proceeded to church, and at the conclusion of the service, returned to their respective Courts, and immediately entered upon the business of the Assize. Prisoners were tried in both Courts on various minor charges of felony, but none of the cases disposed of were of any general interest.

There was no Reformer who was not sent of the immense advantages which had been derived from the Constitution, but there was a feeling in the • tuntry, that if the present measure be not carrie the people would not be satisfied even to the extent i f that tnersure. It washy Reform alone that they could secure . a cheap government, and a controul over the public purse. T., the present measure he gave his most cordial support, ind to the Ministers who had so wisely, so ably, and so powerfully brought it forward, he offered his tribute if gratitude for having altered the institutions of the country in time, and for doing that which in one short year hence, it inight be too late to do.—(Cbeera.)

Mr. ESTCOURT presented a petition against the Bir mingham and London Rail-road Bill, but in consequence of the Luz which prevailed in the House, which was very full of Members, it was impossible to catch the name of the place from which the petition came, as well as a good deal else of what passed. Alderman WOOD moved the third reading of the Bill to enable the Marine Insurance Company to sue and be sued in the name of one of the Directors of the thee being. Read a third time and passed. The HON. ALDERMAN also brought in a Bill to esta blish a general cemetery for the metropolis. He then pre sented several petitions from the miners in the neighbour hood of the Forest of Dean, in favour of the Purtonpell Rail-road Bill. 3 F. 'a For such Carpenter's Bricklayer's Plaisterer's Mason's and At the sitting of the Court on Thursday morning, Ro. be; t lVilrlbore, aged 23, was placed at the bar before Mr. Baron BAYLEY, charged with the capital offence of having committed a rape on the body of Harriett Young, an in fant under the age of ten years. From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that the prisoner was a frame-work knitter, res;ding at Hinck ley, in this county, and that on the day in question a funeral took place at the parish church, to which the pro secutrix and a number of other children flocked, when she was enticed away from her companions by the prisoner, and taken up the belfry stairs, where the offence imputed in the indictment was fully perpetrated. On behalf of the prisoner witnesses were called to prove he was in a state of idiotcy. Mr. Ashford, surgeon, of Hinckley, from the general habits and demeanour of the prisoner, considered him of unsound mind.

STEWART said, if we: looked back Ito the history of our country, and traced the rise and progress of Parliament--its slow, yet steady, acquisitions, of liberty in the earliest times—its struggles at later periods with de , - pitic power—and, finally, its success in settling and con solidating our institutions, we should indeed pause before we altered se completely the Constitution of that body to which we owed such inestimable advantages. The richest and the poorest man in the State had an equal interest in the per manence of these institutions, and in the stability of the Go vernment; and if he (Mr. S.) thought the people would be happier under the new Constitution, that their comforts Samples o f the sions. several Articles required to be fur laisbed, together with the conditions of the Contracts, may be seen at this Office, and also by applying to the respec tive Barrack Masters at Woolwich, Chatham, Ports- T u la, and Plymouth. Security will be required for the "e Performance of each of she said Contracts. Mr. CRIPPS presented several petitions also in favour of the Purtonpell Rail-road Bill, and then moved the second reading of that Bill. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET opposed the motion, on the ground that there were already two rail-roads in the neighbourhood where it was pro posed to erect the one by this Bill, and therefore there was no necessity for the latter one. He believed that the rail-road was originally sanctioned by the. Commis sioners of Woods and 'Forebts, but he believed that he had since made out such a case of opposition, that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, as well as the Lords of the Treasury, were of opinion there was no necessity for a third rail-road. It had not been shown that there was any want of communication, nor was there any thing like a monopoly of carriage. He therefore would move as an amendment, that this Bill be read a second time this day six months. Sir WILLIAM GUISE supported the amendment.

Bat this Bill, instead of strengthening the Government, already too weak, added power to a party in the state op posed to all property. There was a current under the surface of society setting in strongly against the old insti tutions of Europe, against its Monarchies, its privileges, its religion, and we ought indeed to beware how we added to its force, lest we accelerated the ruin of those institu- Mr. Musson, governor of the county gaol, from his observation of the prisoner since he had been in his cus tody, was led to conclude that he was deficient in sense; he had repeatedly had occasion to observe that he was easily imposed mpon, and that by the most simple pretences. The employer of the prisoner gave equally strong evi dence as to his want of intellect. M. WALLER CLIFTON. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

The venerable Baron BAYLEY, in summing up, parti cularly called the attention of the Jury to the evidence ad duced of the mental infirmity of the prisoner. The Jury, after a short consultation, found him Guilty of the fact; but added, that he was in a condition of idiotcy. The unfortunate man was ordered tube confined during his Majesty's pleasure. No other case of interest was tried in this Court during the day. In the Nisi Frills Court two causes were disposed of, but they were of no importance except to the parties con cerned. The remainder of the day was occupied with the trial of uninteresting cases of felony. The trial of Sarah Smith, for the murder of Elizabeth Wood, at Mountsorrell, is fixed to take place at eight o'clock to-morrow morning. On the Civil Side there is one important cause yet re mains to be disposed of : it is an action brought by Mr. Musters, of Colwick-hall, Nottinghamshire, against the hundred, to recover the value of the property destroyed at his seat during the late memorable riots. It is to be tried by a Special Jury. The venire, for obvious reasons, has been moved from Nottingham to this county. REVENUE OF SCOTLAND. Mr. STRICKLAND also supported the amendment, believing the Bill to be intended merely for the benefit of a few individuals who wished to lay out their capital in the speculation. Mr. CRIPPS, in reply, denied that the parties bringing forward the Bill had any such object in view as had been stated by the Hon. Member.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, NIAReu 22. EX PARTE PALMER IN RE PALMER. The bankrupt in this case resided at Bath, and applied to have the Commission sued out against him susperseded, or a person, on whose evidence it had been issued, exa mined, viva ?Nice, before the Court. Mr. Moivracu stated the case for the petitioner. On the 10th of November, 1831, an execution was put into Palmer's house, but was suffered to remain in possession of his stock and goods till the 16th, when the creditors began to sell them. Palmer and his wife upon this re moved to the hous e of Mr. Mott. a friend, who lived about five yards off, and slept there that night. On the following mornin g he went by the coach to New bury, to consult his professional adviser upon what he should do. After an absence of five days he returned to Bath, and foand that a Commission had been sued out against him. This was principally done on the evidence of a man named Bishop, a sheriff's officer, who was in possession of the bankrupt's property, who swore before the Commissioners, that on the 16th Mr. Palmer said he " should not answer any one, and would go out of the way." The petition having been presented, this man Bishop now made an affidavit, in which he state! that Mr. Palmer consulted him on what he had best do, and on his declining to give any advice, said, " Well, as I suppose other creditors will issue writs against me, I will go out of the way." lie submit'ed to the Court, that under these cit cuinstances, this was a proper case in which to exercise its power of examining a witness viva voce. The Court was of opinion, that under all the circum stances justice could not he done without a viva voce exa mination of Bishop, though, from the suspicious circum stances under which the bankrupt left his home, he might not reap g reat a d vantages from it. The Court, therefore, ordered, that on the second day of Easter Term Bishop mouldanc e d be brought before it, t h at the bankrupt should be in atten, and that evidence the eith er party might adduce what oral y thought fit.

Bets to a lar ge amont have been laid in sever of the Flub -h ouses at t h e west end of the town, that, the Bill would not pass the Upper House ; but since Saturday, many who had bet that it would be thrown out, have offered 254 to be let off a bet of 1(101., which has been refused in several instances, but in others .it has been thought prudent to take it in ready money, rather than run the risk probably of not receiving the larger sum, in case of winning. It is understood that several of the Bishops have promised Earl Grey to support the Bill in ;,11 its stages Within a few; and some P eers who formerly opposed it have, days, sent i n their adhesion to Ministers. It is a lso positively asserted that there is at present a majority of fourteen in favour of the measure in the House of Lords, but, toassurance doubly sure," a creation of Peers will im ediately take place ; in the number not to exceed nine.

Earl Grey presented an Address to his Majesty from the Heri tors, House Proprietors, and other Inhabitants of the parish of Neilston, in the county of Renfrew, in favour of Reform. Lord Kenyon, with a Petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Ely, humbly expressing their opinion that the Commission appointed in Ireland to carry into effect a system of Education founded on the Popish notion of the in expediency of allowing the indiscriminate use of the Word of God is a direct impeachment of the Divine Counsels, and a substitution of the wisdom of man for the wisdom of God ; and must be as unwise as a question of State policy as it is irre concileable with the dictates of our Reformed Religion. They therefore humbly pray your Majesty that the indignity which the proposed measure offers to the Word of God may as spee dily as possible be cancelled, Soon after the close of the Court his Majesty left town in his travelling carriage on his return to Windsor SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MARINE SOCIETY.—The anniversary dinner of this excellent institution took place last night at the London Tavern. About eighty gentlemen were present. Sir G. Cock burn, in the absence of Lord Romney, the President, who is indisposed, filled the Chair. The donations were stated to amount to over 3001., and the balance in hand to 3061• At nine o'clock the Chairman withdrew to attend his duties in the House of Commons. This was an action of debt, to recover penalties against the defendent for non-residence upon his benefice. The 57 Geo. 111., c. 99, s. 5, enacts, " that every spiritual person holding any benefice, who shall without licence wilfully absent himself, &c., shall, if such absence shall exceed three months, forfeit one-third of the annual value ; if six months, one-half; if eight months, two-thirds; and if the whole year, three-fourths of such annual value, &c." The defendant is the rector of the parish of Hensworth, in the west riding of Yorkshire, and the object of this ac tion was to recover three-fourths of the yearly value of the living, on the ground that he had wilfully absented him self without licence during the whole of 1829. It was proved that the defendant resided until May in that year at the house of a Mrs. Bignold, in Middleton-row, Clerk enwell. About a fortnight after he left her house he en gaged lodgings at the house of a person of the name of Johnson, who lived in Dover-road, within two hun ched or three hundred yards of the limits of the rules of the King's Bench, and there he remained during the rest of the year, He was arrested more than once at both these places, and there was reason to believe that he had passed about a fortnight of the year in prison. When served with the notice which the Act of Parliament requires to be given before action brought, be was a prisoner in Horsemonger-lane gaol. The Rev. Mr. Wright, the de fendant's curate at Heinsworth, stated that he had not seen the defendant during 1829. This witness also stated, that in his judgment the yearly value of the living amounted to from 9001. to 1,100/. ; but in the certificate of the Archhishop (which under the above-mentioned Act he is compelled to give), the yearly profits were cal culated only to amount to 8601. For the defendant it was contended, that the words " wilful absence," which were employed in the Act of Parliament, evidently showed that the penalty for non residence was only intended to attach to those clergymen who were absent from their benefices for their own plea sure, and not to those whom pecuniary or other embar rassments might drive away. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, adding that the value of the living, clear of all deductions, was 710/. a year, and that the defendant had been absent a year. A verdict was accordingly entered for the plaintiff for the sum of 5321. 10s., being three-fourths of the yearly value, with liberty to the defendant to move to reduce the verdict to a smaller sum, if the Court shall be of opinion that the absence of the fortnight during which the defendnnt was in prison was not a " wilful absence," and therefore that the period of wilful absence did not extend to a year. LEWES AsSIZES, iNIARcH 22. Samuel Thornecraft, aged 23, labourer, was in dicted for feloniously setting fire to a barn containing a large quantity of wheat, barley, beans, and peas, and to three hay-stacks, the property of Charles Ade, a tenant of Lord Plymouth, at Milton Court, in the parish of Ar lington, on the night of Sunday, the llth of December last. The prisoner was a farming servant of Mr. Ade, in whose service he had lived some years. In November last several sacks of corn were stolen from the premises of Mr. Ade, and some suspicions arose that the prisoner was implicated in the business; in consequence he was taken to Lewes to be beard before the Magistrates, but nothiug ap peared against him. The transaction seems to have excited his animosity against his master, and in the presence of several witnesses he expressed himself in strong language, saying—" He would be if did not pay him off for the wheat. "He would be —if he did not fire the barn." On the 12th of November he was at the Royal Oak public-house, in company with a man named Ford, on which occasion Ford lost a " steel," which prisoner picked up, and subsequently several times said, " This is the steel with which I fire barns." At the Royal Oak, a short time before the fire, he was heard to sing a song, which alluded to an incendiary then in the county prison. The words were— " Collins is merry merry there We will be merry merry here, And we will burn their barns about their ear." Immediately after the fire he returned the steel to Ford. On the day of the fire the prisoner was in company, the whole of the day, with John Reeds, (an accomplice, who was admitted King's evidence), drinking at the beer shop of one Levett, and subsequently at the Royal Oak, at Long bridge, and he was seen by many witnesses, a very short time before the fire broke out, going towards the barn at Milton-court, in company with Reeds. To the testimony of these witnesses the prisoner could produce nothing con tradictory. There were many witnesses called to prove minor circumstances in the link of evidence. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty, and the Judge pro nounced sentence of death in a most impressive manner. The prisoner, who is a very fine young man, betrayed no symptom s of emotion. His father, who was in Court, addressed the Judge in his favour. THE DRAMA.--PUBLIC MEETING.—At this meeting, of which we gave a full report yesterday, but which was not concluded when we went to press, various resolutions deprecating the injurious monopoly of the major theatres were proposed and carried, after which the meeting dispersed. Some recent discoveries have been made at Pompeii, particularly a chamber full of amphora—several of quite new form ; for the most part they bear Greek or Latin inscriptions, written in black characters. In some of them was found dried wine, which, when liquified,' had preserved not only its odour but its taste; charcoal and 'cinders were found in one of the hearths of a kitchen; near it was found a settle, sup posed to be that in which the slave who had the care of the place slept. These late discoveries have given a new spur to the spirit of search 011 the part of the Neapolitan Government, It is a remarkable fact, that amidst many hundred Parliamentary papers which we receive annually, some of these, consisting of bulky volumes, we have looked again and again, but always in vain, for a statement of the Revenue of Scotland! Our tables and shelves are literally groaning under returns about malt and grain, sugar, coffee, tobacco, Irish tithes, convicts, shipping, slaves, gloves, and a thousand other things ; but so incurious are our worthy representatives, that though they see the revenue of Ireland reported as regularly as the year comes round, they never once thought of ascertain ing what contingent our country furnishes to the Exchequer of the empire. About two months ago, however, somebody was so bold as to move for an account of the revenue of the three kingdoms sepa rately, and here is the document at length in our hands, presenting results of no trifling importance, but hitherto unknown to every Scotsman. The paper gives the net produce of the taxes for Eng land, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland ; but as Wales has not one considerable sea-port, while more than one-third of the British revenue is derived from the Customs, it is evidently a deception to separate its revenue from that of England. Uniting Wales with England, the amount stands thus : England. I Scotland. X 1,478,231 2,576,965 534,986 318,578 204,593 Ireland. X 1,463,624 2,193,079 482,041 253,357 Customs £16,541,050 Excise Stamps Land and Assessed Taxes 4,910,359 Post-office 1,072,710 .Z 43,254,9901 £5,113,353 Aggregate revenue of the three kin 1831, 52,761,41.5/. In this table we have no doubt that the duty paid en the tea sent to Scotland and Ireland is reckoned as part of the revenue of these two coun tries; for Sir Henry Parnell, in his work printed last year, states the Revenue of Ireland for 1829, to be 3,700,000/., to which, he says, 300,000/. should be added for tea duty. £4,:392,101 igdoms in Having now authentic data to proceed upon, let us inquire in what proportions the people of the three kingdoms contribute to the public revenue. We take the population of each country apart from the army and navy. Average sum paid by each inhabitant. Population. England, 13,894,000 62s. 4d. Scotland, 2,365,000 43s. 3d. Ireland, _ 9 lls 4d. Our clamorous fellow-subjects of the Green Isle, who affect to be the most oppressed of God's creatures, and often put down intolerable taxation in the list of their grievances, pay, man for man, just 5.4. for every 20s. paid by the people of Scotland, and ss. for every 28s. paid by the people of Eng land ! The French, Austrians, Germans, Prussians, Italian, &c. pay from 15s. to 30s. per head to the State. It has been truly said, that the Irish are the most lightly taxed people in Europe ! Now, let us apply Lieut. Drummond's method in these data, in order to ascertain what number of re presentatives each country ought to have. England. Scotland. Ireland. Number expressing ratio of . population Number expressing ratio of 579 099 322 taxes 8 - 20 097 Both numbers united 1,399 196 405 . .... Proportion of Members due to each country, accord ing to joint ratio of popu lation and taxes 4C4 Scotland is to have 53 Members under the new Bill, which is 211 per cent. below what is due to her when taxes and population are united; and Ireland is to have 105, or 26} per cent. less than her proper share. Even on this principle, four ad ditional Members will bring Ireland to an equality with Scotland; but the government of our country costs almost nothing, while the Green Isle needs a garrison of 20,000 regular troops, besides a costly armed police. 'Where the expense of ruling each country deducted from its fiscal contributions, Ire land would scarcely be entitled to the 100 Members she at present returns. We wish much that some Member would move for an account of the free re venue remitted to the Exchequer from Ireland, after defraying internal expenses. The above statement differs only in a trifling degree from that which we published from conjec tural data, in our paper of 24th December. Scotland has, all things considered, as good a right to call for additional representatives as Ireland; but our countrymen will not play into the hands of their enemies, by raising foolish objections about fractional shares of representation ! They know better than to embarrass their friends, and risk the entire loss of a boon, which, even as it stands, sur passes their expectations. We have before said, and we repeat it, that more good would be done by diminishing the Members for England, than by in creasing those of Scotland. The grand difficulty every where is to find fit representatives—men who, when returned to Parliament, are of any service to those who sent them. Leaving out eloquence, a Member requires honesty, activity, a considerable range of knowledge, business habits, leisure, and fortune, to render him useful to his constituents; and at this moment, many bodies of men shortly to be enfranchised, who are looking out for proper can didates, know well how few they can find who unite these qualifications, or from whose conduct in Parliament they have anything to expect. At the Union, the revenue of Scotland, if we re member right, was to that of England as 1 to 30 1 . It is now nearly as 1: to S.—Scotsman.

His Lordship once lectured him upon the beauties of sobriety, and conjured him never again to get drunk. From that hour, poor Kean was never sober. The anti-Reformers, in honour of the most pugnacious of their supporters, are now called by many persons "The Croakers," REFORM BILL. Mr. C. PELHAM said h.. had listened with the deepest attention to the arguments that had been urged on both sides during the important discussions on the question now before the House. These discussions he considered of the most serious and grave description, and well worthy the notice of the House, especially from the important conseqcences involved in them. The only substantial reason he had beard from the mouths of gen tlemen on the other side of the House was, that those out of doors would have the Bill, and therefore it must pass. This was no fanciful notion of his; for an Honourable Member on the other side had used these very words—" That there was now a de. mocratical change in the people." He had no wish to speak against the revered person of the present Monarch, but if he wished to substitute another form of Government for pure and limited Monarchy, he could not adopt more convenient language. He had paid the greatest attention to the speech of his Majesty's Attor ney-General, but there was one principle in it to which, as an independent Member of Parliament, looking, as he had a right to de, to every thing that concerned ge nerally the legislature, he could not assent. That principle was, that the House had no right to interfere with the concerns of the other House. [lt was almost utterly impos sible to hear one sentence in the gallery from the beginning to the end of the Hon. Gentleman's speech. We under stood him to say that the real distresses of the country would not, in his opinion, be removed by this Bill ; and that the act of purifying the House of Commons would be better accomplished by pausing than by adopting the course the House appeared to he about to pursue.] Mr. J. STANLEY contended that Reform of some sort or• another was called for, by not only the bulk of the public, but nearly every Member of the House of Commons, every Member without almost an exception. Lord Bolingbroke had recommended, as the only remedy for the evils of the country, a Reform in Par- . - liament, and to give the people a more equal representation in that House. That illustrious philosopher had said that so long as a few individuals could controul the Go vernment of the country, so long must that Government be carried on by undue influence. An Administration, said Lord Bolingbroke, must concede to an Oligarchy places and profits in return for the power they give them. Lord Bolingbroke complained, a hundred years ago, shat the corruptions of Parliament would spread to every department of the State, and would make the Aristocracy a most degraded body. He had contended that the power of Old Sarum or Gatton was as great as that of the Members for Yof kshire or London; and the remedy was that all such boroughs should be abolished. He (Mr. Stanley) should be reluctant to change any of the old institutions under which England had enjoyed more of liberty than any other part of the world ; but he found that under the same system practical evils existed, and for which practical evils practical remedies must be provided. The present system of representation had enabled Ministers to carry on disgraceful wars against the sense of the country at large. The American War was carried on in opposition to the opinions of the people at large, re - peatedly expressed, and likewise in opposision to the decided sentiments of the real representatives of the people ; and all this was done because the Ministry were backed by the Members for close boroughs. It was the asto nishment of the people that this country which possessed a free Parliament should have been more proflik'ate and corrupt than the most despotic Governments in Europe. Every body must be aware of the astonishment which foreigners expressed between the different feelings of individuals and those which, up to a late period, had been acted upon by Government. It was to make the Government act in unison with the feelings of the people that this Bill was introduced. What could remedy the evils of the country but to restore the power of the people over the House by giving the country a real representation ? One portion of the Bill was designed to give Members to towns in England which, although now unrepresented, pos sessed greater wealth and population than half the capi tals of Europe. He was astonished when he heard Gentlemen object to the Bill upon such pitiful grounds tef detail as were frequently urged. Because some persons thought that Appleby was not fairly dealt with, they gave vehement opposition to the whole measure. He would tell all such Members that the country cared little for those minor details—details which were important only to individuls, and certainly of no consequence whatever to the great principles and the objects of the Bill.— It had been thrown in the teeth of that side of the House, that a much smaller measure of Reform would have been sufficient. If it were an Anti-Reformer who used this argument—an Anti-Reformer whose only object was to satisfy the immediate outcry of the people —he would reply to such a person, that he agreed that the Bill had done more than was necessary; but if it were a sincere Reformer that urged this objection, he should say that he could not conceive how lie could he dis contented with the extent of the measure, unless he could show that a less extensive Reform would he sufficient for the extent of the evils to be remedied. IL would always maintain that a Bill less comprehen sive would never have been sufficient to satisfy the people, or to attain the objects which they ha. in view. The Hon ou r a bl e Member for Oakliamptoo ha, spoken of the re-action in his county ; and that the wealtl and tespectability of that county was against the Bill. H denied the fact; and would state in spite of the exertions o• the clergy, the people were unanimous for Reform, and h a t. gone counter to all who usually had influence over them. tions under which this country had so long flourished. To the present constitution of Parliament, with some trivial changes, we were indebted for the pos.,ession of nt arly all our liberties. We owe to it the curtailment of the excessive prerogatives of the Crown, the abolition of monopolies and of benevolences, of the Star Chamber, of the power of taxing the people without the consent of Par liament. We owe to at the Petition of Right ; and finally, at the great Revolution, the placing of our liberties upon that firm and solid basis which nothing but our own imprudence can overturn.—(Hear, hear.) If the supporters of the Bill would not demonstrate the advantages likely to be derived from the new Constitution of Parliament, he was anxious to point out what he con ceived to be its dangers. In the first place, it unsettled completely the relative weight of the different interests re presented in that House; it took from the land that power , which it had so long and so properly possessed, and gave the preponderance to the commercial and manufacturing interests ; and why, did he desire to protect the interests of the landed proprietors? Because they enabled us to re tain our faith with the public creditor, because they were the best and most legitimate consumers of our manufac tures, and because they bore nearly all the burthens of the Church and the support of the poor. But the great object of the Bill was to give representatives to the large com mercial and manufacturing interests which had grown up of late years in this country ; but even this object, he feared, would not be accomplished, in consequence of the low rate of franchise fixed upon by the framers of the Bill. He believed that in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and other great towns, representatives would be chosen totally unconnected with the trade is those places ! He believed that the master manufacturers would have little or no con trout over their workmen, and that Members would be re turned to this House of the most dangerous and revolu tionary principles. He believed that at the first election for a reformed Parliament the vote by ballot and universal suffrage would be clamoured for by those classes which were then being led into political power. He believed they would demand the abolition of the Corn Laws, an equitable adjustment of the National Debt, and the destruc tion of Church property. But the excited appetite of the people would not be restrained here, and the abolition of the Hereditary Peerage, and the downfall of the Mo narchy, would, sooner or later, follow the adoption of _ _ this ill-fated measure. But let them look to the Acts of a reforming Parliament, such as the one he had at tempted to describe. Let them look for instance at the , Acts of the Long Parliament, which, whatever great names it may have contained, disgraced itself by a most atro cious system of spoliation and plunder. Notwithstanding the self-denying ordinance, let him quote to the House a few instances of the spoils divided among the Members of that goodly Parliament. John Bradshaw, one of its most noted Members, obtained for his share of the spoil Earl St. Alban's manor of Summer-hill, in Kent, worth 1,500/. per annum ; Lord Collington's estate of Foothill, in Wiltshire ; his manor of Hanworth,in Middlesex,and the Dean's house at the College of Westminster. John Blakeeton obtainedl4,ooo/. and 3,0001. were afterwards given him out of the Mar quis of Newcastle and Lord Widrington's estates, in com pensation of the loss of the pedlar's ware in his shop...— Colonel Brereton had the sequestration of Casbiobury, and the other lands of Lord Capel, worth 2,0001. per annum ; also the Archbishop's house and lands at Croydon, where (his authority states) he turned the chapel into a kitchen, a goodly reformation, and fitted with his stomach as well as his religion. Fleetwood got Woodstock; Wil liam Pierrepoint got seven thousandpounds in money, and Lord Kingston's estate, worth ten thousand pounds; Sir Henry Vane obtained five thousand pounds, and the Bishop of Durham's manor, park, and !femme of Evenwoorl ; Sir Thomas Walsingham got the Earl of Dorset's manor of Elthain ; also Mr. White's house and park, where he cut down five thousand pounds' worth of timber trees, and scarcely left (as the writer stated) one single tree to make his own gibbet. Sir John Trevor got nine thousand pounds out of the Marquis of Winchester's estate, besides Richmond Park and grounds, and the Great Park at Nonsuch. He would only trouble the House with one more case—that of Sergeant Wylde (for there was a Sergeant Wylde in those days)—he got one thousand pounds out of the privy purse of Derby House, after the hanging of Captain Burley ; and it is also affirmed that he had one thousand pounds more upon the acquittal of Major Rolph ; so that it was all one to the Sergeant whether he hanged or hanged not.—(Hear and a laugh.) And did the House really imagine that these things would not occur again? Did they imagine that the possession of the Abbey Lands of Woburn and Tavistock, the demesnes of Ruby Castle or Chatsworth, avers fixed upon such an immutable basis that no spoliation could reach them ? Our descendants would point to this Parliament as having Keen the first to shake the foundation of property—as having been the first to violate, in later and more civilised times, the rights of the church, and the sanctity of char ters—(Hear, hear)—and of having thus opened an in road to those revolutionary tenets which would, sooner or later, lay all our ancient institutions in ruins. But what would be the effect of this measure upon the House oe Peers? By infusing so great a democratic power Ml° this House they would paralyze the influence of the other branches of the Legislature. If the people were the only source of legitimate power, you are indeed about to create , t House drawn from its purest springs. But the House so created will he unconnected in sympathy, in feel ing, and in interest with the House of Peers ; for that aody would represent the interest of the Lint:, and this House would, he feared, too much and too exclusively re present the commerce and the manufactures of the coun try. The first collision between the two Houses of Par liament would prove fatal to the Peery, for no power they possessed could resist a House of Commons purely !effect ing the wayward passions of the people. He trusted, in deed he felt convinced, that the Peers of England would 10 their duty.—(Hear.) Mr. WASON denied that the Bill would either over throw the Church or the Throne; on the contrary, be considered that it woula consolidate the best interests of :itith. The people of this country were in favour of the Bill, and far better would it be to mike changai in that louse than leave them to be made by the people from ,without, O'CONNOR DON contended that the only means of preventing agitation in Ireland would be to do justice to he people of that country. No one could deny that the question of Reform had considerably advanced, and if a calf-anthhalf in,asure had been proposed it would disgust rather than satisfy the people. I. would be as riticulous o check the progress of Reform as to prevent the Nile rain its accuetoined oveifluw. The people of Ireland had cured Catholic Emancipation, and aril nut the people f England their Reform Bill ? lie wished to pre•erve ,lie Peerage, as necessary to the welfare of the Stier, and
