- . Mr. PRAED expresed the deep feeling of regret with which he contemplated the probable loss of the Bill. Mr. SHER. conten , led that every one of the debts comprehended in the Bill would extend to the land. The 'cord judgment in the clause of the Bill would attach open the land, because a judgment would follow the lind, which a bond would not, unless it were in the hands of the heir Sir H. WILLOUGHBY supported the Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said, if this Bill were passed, it night be made available to party purposes, and that was his great ohj:!ction to it. Mr. JEPHSON should support the second reading of the Bill. Sir R. VYVYAN should support the Bill. Mr. LENNARD had not heard any arguments to change his original determination, which was to give his itipport to this Bill. Any objections to the details might be cored in the Committee. Sir R. PEEL did not think the fact, that the Bill did not apply to the House of Lords, was any objection to the Bill in its present , tage. The House of Commons had never resigned a privilege which the House of Lords had not afterwards resigned. It would not have been proper for the House of Commons to originate a Bill to take away the personal privileges of the Members of the House of Lords. It was highly probable that the Members of that Howe would originate a measure of this kind with respect to themselves ; but as the House of Commons would have viewed with jealousy the interference of the House of Lords with respect to their privileges, so would the House of Lords be justified in viewing with jealousy ?be interference of the House of Commons with their pri vileges. He should support the Bill now, reserving to himself, however, to consider on the third reading to Ne ther the advantages and disadvantages were equally ba lanced, and to vote as his opinion might incline upon that subject. kr. BERNAL abould oppose the House going into Committee. Sir C. IVETHERELL supported the principle of the Bill, and thought that in justice to it they ought to go into Committee.—( Question, question.) Mr. SINCLAIR supported the Bill. Lord W. LENNOX had treat pleasure in supporting the measure of the Hon. Member for Thetford. Mr. C. WYNN supported the proposition for going into Committee. Mr. BARING replied, and the House then divided— For the original motion 139 Against it Majority 9 IRISH TITHES. Lord ALTHORP, in arswer to a question from Mr. Shiel, paid that it was the intention of the Government to bring in a proposition to-morrow (this day) relative to Irish Tithes. The House then went into Committee on Mr. Baring':, Bill pro forma ; And Mr. GOULTIURN bron 2 ht up the Report, which was ordered to be taken into further consideration on Wednesday next. Mr. M. O'CONNELL, on the part of the Hon. Member for Kerry, said, that if the Government brought in a Bil on the Irish Tithes to-morrow, that Hon. Member would' move a Call of the House. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Three o'clock. GRAND DINNER TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. Yesterday, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the triumph of Purity of Election, and also the triumph of Parliament ary Reform, was celebrated by a public dinner, in the great rooni of the Crown and Anchor Tavern. About five o'clock Sir Franciss Burdett took the chair ; he was supported by Sir J. Cam Hobhouse, Sir Samuel Whalley, Colonel Jones, Colonel Evans, M. P., Count Csipski, Count Plater, the General-in-Chief Rybinski, M. Mos seltnan, Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Thelwall, Mr. Matthew Hill, Mr. Harmer, Mr. De Ve.ir, Mr. Sturch. About 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner. After the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN gave— " The people, the only true source of legitimate power," which was drunk with loud cheering. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " the King," and although the very mention of such a toast was quite suffi cient to insure their cordial concurrence, yet he could not help observing that his present Majesty was the first Mo narch who ever sat upon the Throne of England, from Alfred to the present time, who had shown a disposition to attend to the wishes of his people, and restore their rights.—(Cheers.) His Majesty's health was then drunk with three times three.—" God save the King." Mr. HARMER. propos,d " The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the consistent supporter of the people's rights."—(Drunk with great cheering.) Mr. FISARON proposed the next toast. He was about to name them min who would be remembered for ever, as the champions of the rights and liberties of the eoootry. When be mentioned Earl Grey and the rest of his Ma jesty's Ministers—(Deafening cheers)—he was gratified to perceive, from the manner in which they had received the toast, that their feelings towards these illustrious men corresponded with their deserts. The longer they lived the deeper, in his opinion, would they find to be the debt of gratitude which they owed to Earl Orey. Their children's children would lisp his praises. —(Cheers.) After remarking on the support given by the Reformers to Mr. Canning's liberal policy, he said that, feeling as he did that the support of liberal principles, whether in fo reign or domestic relations--whether in religion or poll. tics—was a breaking into the enemy's camp.—(Cheers ) From the period of Sir F. Burdett's standing forward in support of Mr. Csnniti d ,'s liberal principles of foreign po licy, he dated the commencement of the triumph of Re form. He begged to propose " The health of Earl Grey and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers."—(Applause.) Mr. P. WALKER commenced with a few observations, but was interrupted by the entrance of the Lord Mayor, Mr. O'Connell, M.P., and Mr. Tennyson, M.P., who were very warmly received, and i n consequence o f t h e desire intimated by the company to do immediate honour to the toast, sat down, when the toast was drunk with every mark of is!Athusiann. Sir S. WHALLEY proposed the next toast. In his opinion, a great debt of gratitude was due to the electors of Westminster. It was they who fo r many years h ad kept alive that flame which now blazed forth with such surprising lustre.—(Applause.) They had sent into the House of Parliament men who were an example to the country.—(Cheers.) They must not, however, in their triumph for the past, forget how much remained to be ac complished for the future.—(Hear, hear.) They were but on the threshold—their work was but just begun. If they suffered themselves to be unduly influenced, if they Bold their newly acquired birthright for a mess of pottage, nr a rompetent tribunal; artfl with respect to the permd. adopting the STl2Zezifinn of the Hon. Member for Kircud bright, he should propose that each blank be filled up with three mouths; making it six months hefote the notice of Coy process whatever should he effective. The Hon. lernber concluded by moving that the order of the day for recommitting the privileges of Parliament Bill be read. Lord ALTHORP observed, that on its first appearance he was very much inclined to support the principle of his Hon. Friend's proposition ; but what had occurred in the course of the debates upon it led him very much to doubt whether the advantages of taking away the privileges in question would not he counterbalanced by the disadvan tages. His Hon. Friend had argued the question too much as if it were one personal to the Members of that House. Now, all the privileg e s of that House were ori ginally and substantially the privileges of the people. That a Member should not be annoyed by arrest was the privi lege of the constituents whom he represented. As far 'as the scandal of the thing went, it was w.,.11 known that there were seldom more than three or four persons in Parliament to whom the provisions of the Bill would ap• ply. Unquestionably, the worst cases were those in which a man who has got into debt afterwards got into the House of Commons for the purpose of eluding his creditors. But the change that was about to take place in the representation would go far to prevent this evil. Under all the circumstances of the case, he should feel it is duty to give the motion his direct negative. Mr. HUNT maintained that it was unjust on the part of the Honourable Member for Thetford not to extend the measure to the other House of P:erli iment. 11 . the Noble Lord would allow the Bill to be recommitted, he (Mr. Hunt) pledged himself to move that it should be so extended. It was scandalous to see Members of Parlia ment issuing from the Fleet, or the King's /Inch prison ; and in such cases, generally coming in for rotten boroughs. —(No, no.) No, no ! He said yes, yes! Did not Mr. Swsnn sit for Penryn, and Mr. Burto❑ for 13evcrley ? Mr. HUME thought, that the measure proposed by the Hon. Member for Thetford would narrow the choice of the constituency, en which constituenty, under the new circumstances, they ought to rely with confidence that it would not return any but a proper Member. The incou venience arising from a man getting into the House of Commons without property was nothing to that resulting from a Peer in the same situation. He thought they ought not to legislate except upon a general rule; and un less the Hon. Member for Thetford could prove that the principle on which his Bill proceeded was the general rule, or could at least show many existing cases, it appeared to him (Mr. Hume) that the measure was partial and un called for. they would only sin's( to deeper perditieb,and enslave iheeteelves with the word " Liberty" in their mouths. Much depended en the ensuing election, and he truet t al they would he guided in their choice, not by rank or for. tune, hut by capability and talent.—( Hear hear.) He then proceeded to enumerate at length the objects to which in his opinion the attention of the new Parliament shoald be directed. Amongst others, were a redaction of that lavish expenditure which had hitherto prevailed —a settle ment of the tithe question--a separation between the re ligions and political duties of the clergy.—(Cheers.) He hoped no conscientious Reformer would suffer the con• tinuence of a temptation to the dignified clergy to barrel their votes for a journey from Chester to London, or front London to Canterbury._(Loud cheers.) The aboli•ion of monopoly of every kind—an attention to the interests of the working classes—that class to whore exertions they owed all the wealth of the country; an aboition of the Corn Laws ; and such an alteration in the system of go verning Ireland as would place her on an equality with England. These were amunget the first duties of a Re fermed Parliament.—(Cheers.) He concluded by pro posing--" The Glorious Majority of both Houses of Par liament, who triumphantly carried the Reform Bill." The toast was drunk amid great cheering. Mr. Szuiterf proposed that great and glorious advocate of the rights and freedom of the people, " Sir Francis Burdett."—( Loud cheers.) Sir FRANCIS BURDETT was received with reiterated cheer•, and spoke netr'y as follows :—I do not know that I ever felt so much difficulty, on many accounts, as at the present moment. I feel that I cannot claim those epithets which the indulgence of some gentlemen present has been pleased to couple with my name; at the same time I can not but feel proud that I have been, not for 25, but for 35, years, the uniform supporter of that great cause which we are now fortunately met tog-ther no longer to advocate but to congratulate one another on its success.—(Cheers.) I shall not pretend to say, or to point out, what a reformed Parliament will or wi'l not do. The topics alluded to by an Hon. Baronet (Sir S. Whalley) who has addressed you, and who, I trust, will Ire returned as a Member to the ensuing Parliament—(Cheers)—ar e points which require the greatest consideration and discussion, and I think ought not to be here dwelt upon. In the next Parliament there will be returned to that House a set of men emanating from the public, and having no other interest than that of the public at heart; and as these men would have no sinister interests of their own to serve, the people of England would necessarily rely on their discernment, and place confidence in the judgment of those whom they themselves had soli cited as most worthy of the great trust placed in their hands. I cannot forget the great debt of gratitude which we owe to William IV. for having chosen Ministers who were both waling and aisle to carry this measure, lie would not say without a struggle, hut without bloodshed—(Hear, hear)—not without difficulty, yet escaping every danger. —(Cheers.) Lord Grey bad difficulties to encounter be tween the different parties with whom he had to contend, which we cannot accurately estimate, and I do consider, that not only in integrity is Lord Grey surpassed by no statesman, but he has displayed in the introduction of this great question, and in its management up to the period of its consummation, wisdom and ability, such as no man but himself possessed or was capable of exercising.--(Cheers.) I owe to you, to give you nay reasons for the line of conduct which l have thought it to be my duty to adopt, during the recent discussions It has been my leading principle not to embarrass Ministers on any minor ques tion.— (Cheers.) I have forborne disturbing any part of the proceedings of the great measure itself, even where I felt a desire tier its modification, because I conceived it not desirable to risk the whole for a smaller part—to en danger the great principles for the sake of mere minut and, by giving a colourable majority against Ministers, place not only the Bill but the whole country in a situa• tion of imininent peril.—(Cheers.) Every Englishman must wish that this measure should be such as to give satisfaction to every part of the kingdom —to Ireland and Scotland as well as to England.—(Cheers. ) And he felt much pleasure that the Ministry had consented to alter the Irish 13111 in a manner calculated to give great satis faction to the people of Ireland.—(Much applause.) He was anxious to conciliate all parties, to attend to all inte rests; and though individuals, perhaps himself, might have some ground of complaint, yet, on the whole, he must pronounce it to he one of the noblest attempts ever made on the part of an enlightened Government to satisfy the just and rational expectations of a united people.— (Loud cheers.) Many unreasonable expectations had doubtless been formed by some, as to the re sult of the Reform Bill, and many more attributed to the people by their enemies. This was also the case with the Catholic Bill ; and then those Gentlemen would turn round and say, " didn't I tell you that the Bill would not do this, that, and the other ; didn't I tell you that it would not place a quartern loaf upon your table, or fill your pot with potatoes ?" Why, who ever expected that it would ? It is right the people should distinctly understand that the sole benefit of the Bill be this--that every measure done i❑ Parliament will receive the sanction of intelligent men, acted upon in common with the public, by public interests alone.—(Applause.) He the❑ eulogized the late Jeremy Bentham, Major Cartwright, and John Horne Tooke— men who were a loss not only to this country but to the universal world. He deeply lamented the unfortunate situation of Poland ; it was difficult to speak on the sub ject from feelings which almost deprived him of the power of expression. He denounced, in energetic language, the odious tyranny and cruelties of Russia, and expressed the greatest admiration of the magnanimity and devoted courage which enabled a handful of men, comparatively speaking, so long to resist the combined Powers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia---(Loud cheats.) And they would still have maintained the independence of their country, had it not been for the shameful abandonment, if not treachery, of the other European Powers.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He trusted the time would shortly ar rive, whe❑ England might be enabled to do something more than deplore the fate of one of the noblest nations in the world.—(Continued cheers.) It only remains for me to congratulate you on our ultimate triumph ; and in so doing, my feelings of joy are not altogether unalloyed with regret, with some kind of reluctance, at an event which renders this the last occasion that we shall meet to celebrate a struggle, the great end of which is now accomplished. In taking my leave, I have only to soy, for the present, let us act with discretion and modera tion—let us give fair play to the men in whom we really have confidence; and be assured, that unless we do so, we shall still run a great risk of depriving ourselves of gather ing the fruits which at present promise so fairly. Be as sured, that unless we give his Majesty's Ministers our most decided support, we shall not prevent their being plucked by the faction, over which we have this day tri• umphed.—(Cheers.) Count PLATER then rose and addressed the company in French. Under all the unhappy circumstances that sur rounded Poland, it was a matter of consolation to him to find that England sympathised with that country, which had been deprived of its nationality, and almost even of its name—which had been overthrown and trampled under the feet of a tyrant—who, with despotic sway, ruled over a people that pretended to liberty, but was, in fact, in love with oppression.--(Cheers.) But desperate as the pre sent conslition of Deland was, he could not help (fondly, perhaps) indulging in the hopes of a brilliant futurity.— (Applause.) He could not help hoping that it might ul. timatcly participate in that triumph which had been achieved in so glorious a manner by the people of this country ; and he said this the rather, because be knew that it was felt, by liberal minded m.n, that the loss of the freedom of Poland, was not only a loss to that country, hut also to France, Germany, Great Britain, and in deed Europe in general.—(Long continued applause.) Neither, he trusted, would it ever be forgotten that the happiness of 14 millions of Poles —wives and sisters—fa thers and brothers—had been destroyed in that struggle, which had been prompted by liberty, and by liberty alone. --(Cheers.) But it was with pleasur e that he turned from so painful a subject to that which was the cause of the present assembling. Honour to the people of Great Britain ! Honour to the people who had obtained their victory amid a thousand obstacles, without the shedding of one single drop of brood ! Honour to the people who had proved what vigour and energy were able to di, against tyranny and oppression. —(Cheers.) Mr. DE YEAR proposed the health of Sir J. C. Hob house, which was drunk with considerable applause. Sir J. C. HOBIIOUSE, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He spoke neirly as follows :--Gentlemen, it bis very frequently been my good fortune to present myself to your notice, and to give you the sincere tribute of my grateful thanks for your kind reception of me ; but I now feel that I am, al it were, un a fresh trial before you. Gentlemen, when I accepted office, I did not con ceal either from you or myself that I was making a great sacrifice ; though that is an expression which I should think it wrong to use, if I had not an opportunity of ex plaining it. It is no sacrifice to serve a gracious and con stitutional King—that, on the contrary, is an honour; it is no sacrifice to associate oneself with those whom I be;ieve to be the best, the most upright, and the moat distinguished men who ever presumed to hold the reins of a great empire.—(Loud cheering.) All this is more than an honour ; it holds out a lure Inc what, I trust, I may call an honest ambition—to connect the name of one who owes everything to you, with those of an Administration, which I will not attempt to de. scribe, as I cannot hope to improve the description already given to you by my lion. Colleague. I may, however, remark, that they are men who have had the singular good bsrtune to carry, in a maturer stage of existence, t' effect of all those principles for which they sacrificed them .selves in early life.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I had tin imbition (or, if it is a weakness, I even confess this weak ness) to wish that the name of your representive should h e connected with that Administration, which by the great efforts of the people, and by the sanction and assist ance of the King, has been enabled to consummate this great and glorious measure—(Loud cheering)—and this it was which induced me to stand in the position which I now have the honour to occupy. But though all this was no sacrifice, still there was a sacrifice which I think every lsonourable mini will be able to feel and anPrecisites In the first place, there was some sacrifice of private comfort; but above all, there was a sacrifice, after having been honoured with your confidence, in placing myself in a position in which it was possible that I might be sus. pected. I trust, however, that the fair, and candid, and liberal treatment which the people of England have afforded to the Government will not be refused to me. When I first accepted office, I told you that 1 did so to assist in carrying the measure of Parliament's) Reform.—(Loud cheers.) That measure is now carried, as far as this portion of the empire is concerned ; and after what has already been said upon this part of the sll, jest, I will a dd not hi ng to i t. Ido not say t h at this is a final measure, for what is final among men ? But Ido say, that I most firmly believe that this Bill will lay the foundation of the true honour and real happiness of the peop'e of England.—(Applause.) I trust that the people of England will judge us fairly. I trust that they wiil not expect us to ra i se t h e sca ff o ld an d to rear t h e pile at one and the same time ; I trust that they will, for the present, rather content themselves with recollecting what we have done, than be looking to vain and flimsy promises of what may be don e h erea f ter . M y op i n i on i s cer t ain ly in ac cordance wish that of my Hon. Colleague, that nothing can be so sh ame l ess as to c h arge t h e R e f ormers with hold. isg out exp.ctations of impossible benefits from any mea sure whatever. Th e R e f ormers h ave sa id nothing but this—as long as the present system lasts, we can have no good government ; we do not tell you what will he the re milt of a fair system of representation further than this— th it what you pretend to do in a sham manner, we will try to accomiallithsin a real manner.—(Cheers.) If there is any goad in having a fair representation of the people, then I cannot help thinking you will reap Its fruit of that good seed which you have sown ; and be aisle to say, that it is to the electors of Westminster (I say not this in adu lation) to your perseverance, firmness, and candour, that the nation owes the accomplishment of this great triumph. Mr. STURGEON proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor, and the Refot risers of London," which was drunk wi h loud cheers. The LORD MAYOR said, as the meeting had been so good as to couple his name with the reformers of London, he begged, on their behalf (and he knew that he was giving words to their sentiments), to express the gratification they felt in the triumph of that cause which the electors of Westminster had that day met to eelebrate—(Chrers)— and he would further state that there was no public act of the electors of Westminster which the reformers of Lon don would not he happy to unite in supporting to the best of their ability. They felt that those exertions had been the means of bringing a change, by which the happiness and prosperity of the country would be largely promoted. Is was in these sentiments that he had lived ; i'a these sentiasents he hoped he should die.--(Cheering.) Colonel EVANS, M.P.—The Chairman had alluded to the unfortunate but illustrious nation of Poland ; and the meeting had had the pleasure of hearing a speech from one of that nation. He (Colonel Evans), however, begged to say, that he could not altogether agree in the opinion expressed by the Hon. Baronet, that the nationality of Po land was at an end ; for he could not believe that a people who bad behaved with such courage and magna nimity, hail sunk never again to rise; on the contrary, he thought that the day would come when Great Britain and France would no longer suffer tyranny to triumph over liberty ; though he must sly, that he thought that the present Parliament had not done its duty in not taking an opportunity of at least expressing its sentiments in favour of the cause of Poland.—(Applause.) He begged lease to propose to the meeting " The healths of Mr. O'Connell and the Reformers of Ireland."—(Great applause.) Mr. O'CONNELL was received with enthusiastic cheers. He said, I am now standing amid a disenthralled and free people—a people, too, who owe their liberty to no foreign aid—to no auxiliary from any part of the globe, but to the sole exertions of the population of England, Scotland, and Ireland.—(Cheers.) We certainly have had at our side many of the nobility and gentry of the empire ; but after all, it is the people who have done this.—(Cheers.) And who deserves credit fist, and beyond all, in this struggle? The electors of Westminster ; for when the spark of liberty was trampled down even in the very ashes_ when there emanated therefrom but little light, and no heat—who watched our sacred fire and kept it together till it kindled into a mighty blaze to illumine the whole world ?—(Cheers.) The electors of 'Westminster ! I say this in no flattery. Electors of Westminster, it was you ! How often did the base and sordid press ot those days treat you with scorn and indignity ? How often were you taunted, and singled out for calumny and abuse? How oft e n w ere f ear f u l mot h ers o bli ge d to warn their sons and their husbands, and implore them not to join in this sacr e d d u ty, l es t t h ey s h ou ld b ecome t h e object of scorn —aye, and of persecution, too, by the dishonest aristocracy taking from them their very bread of life? But in spite of all those years of persecution, still you went onward ; and I therefore say, that you deserve this day of triumph ; for much of its glory belongs to you. —(Cheers.) You have added to this toast a mention of the Reformers of Ireland ; and the humblest of them— myself—tries to return you the most heartfelt thanks in their 'lame, and to assure you that the Reformers ot I re• land are deserving of your countenance and favour.— (Cheers.) What have they done ? 1 here were but 100 Irish Members ; but of there 25 are returned from rotten boroughs ; so that you must allow us discount for these, for they have no more to do with Ireland than with Kamta chatka.—(A laugh.) I have, therefore, only to account to you for 75 Member; and of those 75 Members we re turn 69 Reformers.—(Cheers)-69 men who were con_ tent to leave their homes, their families, and their busi ness—not for a week or a month—hut I may now say for nearly two years. Nor did our labours end there. We have listened with exemplary forbearance to the calcula tions and miscalculations and chicanery of Croker— (Laughter and cheers)—we have listened to the quib bles and quiblets of Sugden—(Laughter and cheers re newed)—and we have been bothered till botheration was itself bothered by Wetherell.—(Great cheering and laughter.) All this we have heard not only in pstience, but, so help me Heaven, we have heard it in silence, which was far worse.—(Laughter.) The mon strous propositions that these argufiers thought fit to lay down we have left unanswered ; though, I protest, four or five times I thought I should have died of a suppres sion of speech.—(Laughter and applause.) During all this contest we faithfully stood by you; and here, in the name of my country, I thank you for standing by us.— (Hear, hear.) And here I cannot help referring to the Ministry for a minute or two. Do not be alarmed ; I intend not to blame them, for I have not come here to enter into this subject. All I shall say is, that one was' or another a bad Bill has been given to Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Ido not blame them; but I thank the people of England. Their voice is again being heard on this sub ject—the table of the House of Commons again groans under their petitions ; and I have the extreme pleasure to inform you, that hut for what took place the night before last, the Lord Mayor of London was prepared to call a meeting on the subject in the city.—(Cheers. ) But the real fact is, that the interests of the people of both coun tries are identical in this case—(Loud cheers)—for of what value will it be to you to choose your own representatives if Ireland, under the pretence of a Reform Bill, is to be made one large rotten borough? Besides, to say nothing of your general sympthy for that country, can anything hang nd W s is ho so snakes heavy y your umanufacturesweight o cie n oorurntf: aEotatt gratitude oront g aanE:i t n tkdos t guao d heul dotatabn a eont efstgdocraesi country st: l ht i_ i;rai e t derfspauruo r (n l ue?ii istress of Ire. lf in t it tip a oah( iruanreoficrdds:np?:i prosperity manufacturing shoei aao N tneffysm r etso, o rtouat i nnon, e f t countries esfe u saseoal m :parooode b rptuaoeel e hgranrb r oenrt s trpnri (y ratesol r ? a_p r e e l t r peasantrya 1 o f populat ion, lreland a of e edol rwt tdiod T i rhiei ut,n h sec. eefca h l ilaae: a trrni n Providence that every nation has a deep interest in the d re e .) n e d t f kT r h i o h e n t ed n p et e s E ' o vt England a o n f d r o e l t a l n s i d s struggle most t ; wa while, in y o n gratefulthe the people of England.

Ah, there is a Providence in heaven, and good men will use the instruments to prevent the consummation of such wrongs ! The last accounts from Warsaw tell us that a Polish mother, rather than have her two children sepa ra'ed from her, seized two daggers and plunged them into the bosoms of her babes. And am Ito be told that civi iized Europe will listen with patience to these atrocities ? —(Cheers.) We shall be partisans to the crimes if we suffer them to exist ; and I wish to be in a reformed Par liament, if it is only that I may have an opportunity of raising my voice against these Russians, when we no longer have t.i fight with the Tories, who are the Russians of this country—that I may have an opportunity of telling the British King and the British Government that there is no sacrifice too great for us to make for the sake of putting down such tyranny and cruelty.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by again congra tulating the meeting on the triumph they bad achieved in procuring the passing of the English Reform Bill, and he resumed his seat amid the most vehement cheering Mr. THELWALL proposed " the Lord Advocate and the Reformers of Scotland."—(Applause.) His Lordship would have been present with them, but his Parliamentary duties could not he neglected. D , unk with three times three.—Air," Scots wha Tote." Dr. BOWAING paid a brief tribute to the great talents and invaluable tervice of the lite Mr. Jeremy Bentham, and proposed •" The Electors of the United Kingdom, and may their choice of Representatives fall only on such men as will pledge themselves to prompts the great ends of Reform."—(Applause.) Mr. TULKE gave " The Liberty of the Press," to which they already owed so much, and on which all their hopes of future happiness in a great measure depended. This toast was drunk with three times three, amidst loud cheering. After which Sir Francis Burdett and the principal part of the company retired. Mtny, however, remained behind, with the avowed determination of pro longing the festivities to a later hour. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. (From the Times.) PARIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 26, FOUR O'CLOCK, P.M. The expected modifications in the Ministry have been the chief subject of conversation in the Salons and at the Bourse fur the last three days, but up to the present time it is not known whether the Cabinet discussions thereon have led to any definitive arrangement. It is genera'ly believed, however, that Prince Talleyrand has persisted in declining the offer of the Presidency of the Council, and that he wishes to assist the Government with his advice, without taking upon him the duties and responsibility of any office in the Administration. It is also believed that M. Dupin, in consequence of M. de Talleyrand's refusal of the Presidency, is unwilling to enter the Cabinet unless the chief office be offered to him. To M. Dupin's appoint ment to the Presidency, however, Marshal Soult is said to entertain such strong objections, that if it take place the Marshal will resign, and General Guilleminot will be his successor. In this case, General Sebistiani (whose health has greatly improved of late) would, it is supposed, with draw, as he is still on such terms with General Guille nainot, after the accusations of duplicity anti treachery publicly brought against him by the ex-ambassador in re ference to some diplomatic transactions at Constantinople, as to make it hardly possible that the two Generals should have seats in the same Cabinet. M. Dupin spent the whole of Sunday with the King at St. Cloud, and from thence proceeded to his country house, a few leagues dis tant from Paris, where he intends remaining some days. 31. de Talleyrand also repaired to St. Cloud at one o'clock on the same day, and remained in consultation with the King and M. Dupin until four. It is evident, from all that has transpired, that the re construction of the Cabinet is still found to be no easy matter : and it would not be surprising if the difficulties encountered were to lead to a resolution to leave things as they are until a better opportunity presents itself of placing them on a desirable footing. Reports of an intention to dissolve the Chamber of De- puties as soon as the siege is raised, and to make a new batch of peers, selected among the partisans of the juste milieu, have also been in circulation but they have pro• duced no impression on the public, as it is thought that, until some decision is formed in regard to the state of the Minis•ry, the other two measures must remain at least sus pended. The question of proposing a new loan is still under the con‘ideration of Ministers. The necessity of the measure is admitted on .dl hands, as the deficits, which have been accumulating for the last three years, amount by this time to about 500,000,000 francs ; and the present year's con tributions are expected to fall short of the previous year's amount, in consequence of the political disturbances which have occurred in so many parts of the country. Ministers, however, were desirous of hav ing recourse to a partial relief, by proposing a loan of only 150,000,000 of stock ; but before they made up their minds, they requited the opinion of the most influential capitalists; and a meeting of hankers and others has, therefore, taken place at M. Rothschild's. M. Thiers was present on behalf of the Government. After a good deal of discussion, in which M. Rothschild made a very flourishing picture of the financial resources of Fr ,nce, it was agreed, that the best course would be to propose such a loan as would cover the whole amount of the accumulated deficits, but it was resolved that the point was one which could only be settled by the wisdom of Ministers. As the publicity given to the proceedings at this meeting has produced no depression on the funds, it is supposed that Ministers will be induced to avail them• selves of the favourable state of public credit which this iisplies, t o propose a l oan to t h e f u ll amount o f t h e defi cient sum. Orders were yesterday transmitted to Brest, by tele graph, to the effect that a squadron, composed of two ships of the line, and some frigates, should immediately proceed to the mouth of the Sheldt. This, with the corresponding preparations made on your side of the Chan nel, would indicate that a serious determination has been taken to compel the King of Holland to comply with the resolution of the Conference. But the King of Holland, it is well knoii n here, is as firmly resolved as ever not to do all that is required of him. He makes sure that nei ther Russia and Prussia will suffer any hostile proceedings to be adopted against him, and as to the threats of any attack by sea, they will give him no uneasiness, as lie thinks that both nature and art have placed him in an adequate state of defence in that quarter. General Lafayett e , who has been living in seclusion in his countr) seat since the breaking out of the late riots, of which he witnessed the commencement, has lately pro tested against a story got up by some Ministerial paper of his having thrown a crown of immortelles on a cap of liberty, placed on the coffin of General Lamarque, whilst the orations were being pronounced on the body. This veteran friend of liberty has availed himself of the oppor tunity to raise his voice against the unnecess try and un called-for means of repression pursued by the Govern ment, and to protest against the unwarrantable suspension of the charter. lie acknowledges that the 150,000 citi zens who attended the funeral of General Lamarque did so with the view of evincing their disapprobation of the system pursued by the Ministry of the juste milieu, to which the deceased was the declared enemy; but he adds, that no greater proof, could be afforded of the pacific in tentions of the great majority, and of the falsehood of the assumption that the scenes of violence which ensued, than the r v i e o r t,. ysmall number of those who took an acti ve part i n the The " adhesions" to the Compte rendu still continue. Up to the present moment they amount to 135. Affairs in the west continue to 'atomise a restoration of tranquillity in that quarter; but some persons say that this is the consequence of a momentary advantage which the season gives to the Government troops, and that the insurrection will break out again on the approach of win ter. The Duchess de Berri it still semewnere in the Boc cage. It would be a fortunate thing for those who are condemned by the Court-martial if she were taken by the National Guards, as the King would not suffer her life to be sacrificed, and therefore he would have to extend the Royal clemency to all who have been convicted of rebellion. The D uc h e ss runs no risk of falling into the bands of the Government troops or police agents. The National Guards are the only enemies she bas to fear. Z. P.S. The news has been received this afternoon, that Don Pedio's expedition sailed for Portugal on the 9th inst. The fall in the Funds to-day is attributed to a eport that Baron Louis is about to resign the portefeuille of finances.

Marshal Gauze! is on the point of set.ing out for tl e South of France, and will embark at Toulon between tl.e 15th and 20th of July for Africa. The Constitutionnel says—" We have it in our pow( r to state that M.

He spent yesterday at St. Cloud, and no doubt ex pressed the same opinion to his Majesty."

They were expect-d to sail that night or the next day (the 2d-) The Captain also states that there are several French ships of war in the fleet. As soon as this intelligence was known, General Mama°, the Governor of Cadiz, and the Admiral in command of the Isle of Leon, sent of expresses to Madrid." A new Protocol is said to have been lately signed by the London etnference, composed of the three Powers, Protestors of Greece. This Prot, col relates to the affairs of that country, and contains the following clauses:- 1. Prince Otbo, appointed King of Greece, shall proceed to his States escorted by 3,000 Bavarian troops, who aro to remain in the country. 2. The three Powers which hare signed the Protocol will secure to him a lora of 20 millions of francs. 3.

The Augsburg Gazelle of the 22d instant his the fol lowing, dated Vienna, June 17:—" According to ac counts from Constantinople of the 25th ult., the Grand Admiral Halil Pacha left that port on the 15th, on board a ship of the line, and sailed fur the Dardanelles, to take the command of the Turkish fleet collected there. Dur ing his absence the works of the arsenal are to be under the direction of the Seraskier Chosrem, and are to be carried on with great activity. A letter from Semlin of the 11th inst. states the arrival, on the preceding day, of two Tartars at Belgrade, announcing to the Pacha two victories gained by the Turkish troops, on the 29th and 30th of May, over the Bosnian rebels near Sherashan, and on the plain of Sarajewo. In consequence of these victories, the said capital of Bosnia was evacuated on the same day by the Bosnians, and occupied by the Turks. By the fall of this town, the insurrection may be considered at an end. The last accounts from Ancona state, that after the de parture of the Pro-delegate Count Fiorenzi, who left An cona on the 9th, not one Papal functionary was left, yet the town enjoyed perfect tranquillity. Ancona, however, was in a state of blockade, as no citizen could go more than a league from the town without being liable to be arrested and conveyed to Osimo. It was reported that, at Corinaldo, a small town near Sinigaglia, the Governor and Burgomaster had been assassinated. We learn from Rome that the Russian Ambassador to the Papal Court, Prince Gagarin, is appointed to supersede Prince Poteroki, the Russian representative in Bavaria, who will go to the Hague.

Kersa biec, lien., his servant Papin and M. Gui'lore, who were arrested on the 4th by a detachment under the command of General Dertnoncourt. The Court, after the exami nation of upwards of twenty witnesses, unanimously found M. Kersabiec guilty of an attempt to destroy or change the Government,—acquitted him of unlawful enlistment, by a majority of four against three,—guilty of exciting civil war, by a majority of six against one,—not guilty of resisting the armed force,—not guilty of having assumed the command of armed bands, by a majority of four against three, and lastly, that there were extenuating cir cumstances in his case; upon which he was sentenced to imprisonment for life, which imports a civil death. Papin was acquitted. The sentenece upon M. Guillor4 was de ferred until the Court had made some further inquiries.

SECOND COURT MARTIAL OF PARIS. SITTING OF JUNE 26. PRESIDENT, GENERAL DEROCHERET. Joseph Francois Leger, porter and labourer at the Halle Andquays, aged 33, was accused of having fired on the troops of the line and National Guards, and killed and wounded several of them, and also of having assisted in disarming several posts. After the usual formalities, and the recapitulation of the previous examinations and depo sitions, the prisoner was introduced. He was dressed in the ordinary costume of a labourer. He appeared per fectly collected, and replied to the questions put to him in a firm and unhesitating manner. On the accusation being stated to him, he declared, that during the whole of the sth of June, he was engaged with his ordi nary work; that he was not in possession of any arms whatever ; that he did not take any part in the dis turbances of that and the succeeding day; that the domi ciliary visits made in his lodgings, had proved that he had neither arms nor ammunition of any kind in his house ; and that the accusation against him arose wholly from the jealousy of his fellow-workmen at his getting more work than they did, and the vengeance of a man named Helon, with whose wife he (prisoner) cohabited. After receiving the evidence of several witnesses, the four following questions were submitted to the Court : Ist, Is the prisoner guilty of an attempt to overthrow th e Government?-2d, Is he guilty of an attempt to e x cite civil war ?-3d, Is he guilty of having , on the :ith of e of e m r e on the 6th was than attacked twenty ven t y Ja armednu,r; disarmed?-4th, formedin,,,( by whom of f m, t n sh leiepgoui assemblagest lty of of Lingerie having,ng of June, assassin tte at a e tnpted w National G i u th pre ardsa ine nddtitraotoiopsn(a)fn.tlhaemblinuese, to ? cad After half an hour's secret deliberation the Council re turned into the Court, and returned an unanimous verdict of Not Guilty on the first and third question s; not guilty on the second question by a majority of five to two, and an unanimous verdict of Guilty on the 4th question. The Council also decided by the minorite de faveur, that there were extenuating circumstances in the cage, but that tl e provisions in cases of recidive or second offence were l pliceble, n o t w ith s t an ding th e diff erence b etween the nature'l- of the two Courts by which the two sentences were Pc - nout.ced. The prisoner was therefor e con d emned to 20 years' hard labour and costs. The next case was that of Jean Baptiste Cboiseau, an engraver, aged 50, accused of attempting to excite civil var, uttering seditious cries, and distributing arms and tn., unition. It appeared that the search made in the prisoner's house had produced only a theatrical dress-sword, which was laid an the table. The prisoner was respectably dressed. The Court acquitted the prisoner. TRAITOROUS ASSAULT ON HIS MA- JESTY. The final examination of _Dennis Collins, for an assault upon his Majesty at Ascot-heath Races, took place yes terday in Reading. As early as twelve o'clock yesterday here was a numerous attendance of County Magistrates at the gaol ; among whom we noticed George Henry Elliott, Esq., John Jesse Bulkeley, Esq., Sir Morris Xi• menes, Coffin Forbes, R.N., Captain Gartt, R.N., Henry Clive, Esq. M.P., N. P. Brivhtash, Esq., Dr. Mitford, T. H. A. Earle, Esq., Sir John Sewell, and Swabey, E•q It was agreed that George H. Elliott, Esq. and Sir Morris Ximenes should be the acting Magistrates, and directions were given for bringing in the prisoner, who (it was announced) stood charged with the crime of High Treason, under the 36th of Geo. 111. The prisoner, on entering the room, was dressed in a sailor's jacket, and the same old ragged trousers in which he was attired when he was apprehended. The gaol al• lowance of bread and water, to which he had been con. fined, had made a visible alteration in his appearance. He was paler than at his former examination, and the cleanli ness of his person presented him in a more favourable aspect. His counten ince is rather prepossessing than otherwise His eyes are bright and expressive ; his nose aquiline, and the general cast of his features intellectual. He stood during the examination, and behaved respect fully, but with great firmness. The preliminary forms having been gone through, the witnesses were called and repeated the evidence which has already appeared in The Sun. Mr. ELLIOTT—CoIIins, now is the time for you to offer whatever you have to say in your defence, but it is neces sary that I should first caution you, that you need not say anything to inculpate yourself. Recollect what you are about, and that what you say may be made use of against you. Prisoner-4 own I committed a great fault in throwing a stone at his Alajesty. Mr. ELLIOTTI-Alind that, we are taking down what you say. Prisoner--I was in Greenwich Hospital the 16th of December ; I was there IS months an in-pensioner. The wardkeeper and I had some dispute about sweeping the room. I said that once a day was enough. A MAGISTRATE.—That is not the point. Prisoner (very firmly)—You must listen to me, if you please, as I have been asked what I have to say, and I must tell it in my own way. Well, a complaint wse made against me, and I was put under arrest by Sir Rd. Keats, and then I was expelled for life. I petitioned the Lords Commissioners and his Majesty to he restored to the pension I had when I went in. I was allowed that pen sion by an Act of Parliament passed i❑ the reign of Geo. IV. by which, whatever pension you had when you went into the Hospital, you were to have when you went out, unless you committed a felony, or struck an officer, and I did nothing of the kind.— Well, on the 19th of last April I petitioned his Majesty to be restored to my pension again, and he answered the pe tition by sending it to the Lords of the Barrow, the Secretary. sent a message to me to the public-house. The answer the King sent to the Admi ralty, Barrow sent me to the Admiral Duncan public house, close to the dead wall of the Admiralty ; and the answer was that his Majesty would do nothing for me.— The answer was partly in writing and partly in print. I was in distress very much. I never broke my fast for three days. lam very sorry for what I have done. I would never think of the like if I was not distressed. His Majesty never did me an injury, and I am sorry that I threw a stone or any thing else at his Majesty, and I am exceedingly sorry for it. I was for three days without j food to break my fast since the month came in, and this if the 27th.—Nothing else. When I went to Admiral Rowley's house, the other day, and asked him for a bit of victuals, he kicked me. lam very sorry. I must suffer the law, but I am very sorry fur what I have done.— They had no right to take my pension from me. Sir Richard Keats went against the law of the country, and I am sorry that I did the same. I suffer from arbitrary power, and I am not the only man in the country who suffers from arbitrary power. The above statement, which is given exactly as the pri soner delivered it, was spoken with great firmness and de cision, and without hesitation or emotion. Collins ap peared to treat his situation from beginning to end with indifference, and not to be in the least daunted by the array of so many Magistrates, the examination of the Crown solicitor, or the formal depositions of the witnesses against him. His manner was unconcerned, but without the affectation of swagger or hardihood, like that of a man questioned about some trivial offence, the consequence of which he was alarmed at. He spoke with a strong Irish accent, but his tone was that of a hearty bluff Bri tish sailor, who had nothing to fear, and was not afraid to speak the truth. The examination concluded at half-past four o'clock, and the prisoner was committed for trial on the charge of high treason, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute, in a penalty of 401. each, at the next Assizes for Berk shire, which will take place on July 16, at Abingdon. It is a singular fact, that Captain Smith, who has but recently been nude a Post Captain from his own merit, was the Midshipman who steered the Undaunted, with Buonapaite on board, on his way to Elba. The examination seemed to excite very little interest in the town. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The answer to in quiries this morning, at the hotel in Jermyn-street, was, that Sir WALTER had passed a good night, and that he bad improved since yesterday. His appetite is better, and he takes more nourishment. He has been so collected since yesterday morning as to recognise his different attendants. Letters frorn Leghori r i announce that intelli gence had just been received there of the blockade of the poi t of Alexandria by the Ottoman squadron.

Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House, for the election of a Director in the room of CHARLES ELTON PRESCOTT, Esq., deceased. At six o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the scru tineers, who reported the election to have fallen on RICHARD JENKINS, Esq.
