Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced o make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, toe often unhappily pur . sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of . nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, term pates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaint., in order that they may not be, by a mist +ken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifl mt„ o f w hi c h, from different HOSPITALS, and testi_ nwnials from the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of th e general practitioner; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with whick they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Com plaints however inveterate or complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short apace of a few days. The unprece dented success of their mode of treatment, which has never been known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during which period many thousand persons . of both sexes h ave b een cured, even after severe and inp . rious methods had been pursued by otker practitioners without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice. To be consulted daily, by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention.—Letters from the country, containing the particulars of the case, enclosing a remit tance, duly attended to, and Advice and Medicine for- Warded to any part of the world.

TUIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, Hay-past Rigid. 111 PERM LPA LUMENri THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the motion of Sir G. CLcJ , the Members for the Eastern Dis!riets of Scotland were ordered to to added to the Committee on the E linhurgh and Glasgow Railway Bill. Mr. H. STEWAIIT presented a petition from various parishes in the county of Donegal against the plan 01 Natinnal Education in Ireland. Mr. AUNT said be had a petition which he wished to present in the presence of the Under Secretary of State, but he did not now know whether there was any such efficer as the Under Secretary of State. It was from William Tiiimouth, a prisoner in Durham Gaol, who had been compelled to sne in forma paupe ri s, but who was now in solitary confinement, and he complained of gross ill-treatment by the gaoler. There was a trap-door in his cell, which he had been able to open, and he found there was a well under it, and he was aptrehensive that he would hese his life. From his (Mr. Hunt's) experience, he had reason to believe that murders were committed in prisons, at least it was proved that one was committed in llchesrer Gaol while he was imprisoned there. There was a charge in the petition against a learned Judge, Mr. Baron Bayley, of keeping some papers which the peti tioner had sent to him, which, however, he (Mr. Hunt) had ascertained was incorrect. He was bound to say thus much, because although he had been imprisoned two years and a half by order of that Learned Judge, he believed him incapable of such conduct as the petitioner attributed to him. He supposed it was useless to call the attention of the House, tinder its present state of excitement, to the case of the unfortunate petitioner, and he should therefore merely move to lay the petition upon the table. Mr. O'CONNELL was of opinion that the case of the petitioner deserved inquiry, and he hoped the Hun. Mem ber for Preston would call the attention of the House to it. The Marquess of CHANDOS presented petitions from the members ofa friendly institution for promoting rational humanity among the anim. I creation, for the removal of Smithfield Market ; from the landed proprietors, mer chants, bankers, &c. of Stirling, praying for relief to the West India colonies; from the ship-owners, tee. of Port Glasgow to the same effect; from the coffee-dealers of Edinburgh, praying the House to adopt measures to pre vent the adulteration of coffee; from the parish of Oidley, in the county of Bucks, for a revision of the poor-laws ; and, also from the town of Galway, in favour of the Gal way franchise. Mr. J. CAMPBELL presented a petition from Thomas Starling, of Wilmington-square, against the Tower Ham lets Court of Requests Bill. The Hon. and Learned Member then moved that an address be presented to his Majesty for a copy of the third report of the Law Commis sioners.—Ordered. Mr. F. BUXTON presented two petitions from Wey mouth and Melcombe Regis, oue i❑ favour of, and the other against the plan of Irish education. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from a friendly so ciety held in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate.street, relative to the laws regarding friendly societies. Mr. HUME postponed a notice of motion of his which stood for to-morrow fur a fortnight. On the motion of Mr. MURRELL, the Labourers' Em ployment Bill was read a second time. Mr. BRISCOE presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Kingston-upon-Thames, praying fur the repeal of the punishment of death in certain cases; also two peti tions from different parts of Lancashire in favour of the Factories Bill. Mr. WEYL AND brought up the report of the Com mittee on the Poor Allotments Bill. The second reading of the Pluralities Benefices Bill, was postponed till Monday next. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. (PRICE 7D.) •wsbury in favour of Reform. Also a petition from th , nlathitants of the town and neighbourhood of Birmingham -o the same effect, signed, as he understood, from sources • .f the highest respectability by upwards of 200,000 r individuals. The Noble and Learned Lord then said —I shall not enter at large into the subject mat er of this petition on the present occasion. I stand it the situation of my Noble Friend before you Lordships having with hint humbly tendered my resigns. thin to his Majesty in consequence of the advice which with my Noble Friend, I had humbly tendered to the King not having been accept d by his Majesty. 11 ) , Lords, with my Noble Friend, to the latest hour of my existence. I shall never cease to entertain the deep est, heartfelt sense of the gracious kindness and confidence which my Noble Friend and the rest of his colleagues have received from my King during the period I have had the honour to be a Member of His Majesty's Council. Lord SUFFOLK was very anxious to hear the Peti tion read. He wished to hear the sentiments of his fel low countrymen on the great question to which it referred. The petition having been read by the Clet k at the table, His LORDSHIP proceeded to say that the petition did great credit to the people of Birmingham. It was tempe rate as well as firm. He diii not know that he should not add conciliatory. Perhaps he ought to congratulate the country on the change which their Lordships bad just been coiled to witness. Man Opposition, they bad done more than as a Ministry. As an Opposition, they had been instrumental in giving liberty to the Catholics of Ireland —(Loud cheers).— and as an Opposition they had conferred freedom of conscience on the Dissenters of England. Above all be congratulated the people of this country on the p rtient. continued temperate, and constitutional—Le should say, conciliatory course they bad adopted.—(Heir, hear.) They had one Reform from their friends. Let them proceed in the same way and they would boon extort it from their enemies. —(Loud cheers.) Lord PLYMOUTH had made extensive inquiries for the purpose of ascertaining the real state of the numb -r and character of tbosa said to have t een present at the Birmingham meeting, and could not liv any means accede to the calculation of the Noble and Learned Loid who presented the petition. Many had gone from curiosity, and booths thad been erected for the purpose of games. The LORD CHANCELLOR deprecated the discussion which had thus inadvertently arisen. Some might have attended the meeting through cut iosity, but their Lordships would much mistake if they thought the body and bulk of the people had attended from curiosity to partake of the accidental sports. They hid attend, d from the great anxiety they felt sincerely, with a view to promote the grand objectol the meeting. He would take this opportunity of stating also that indeed he had been requested to state that the peaceable demeanour and 10)al conduct of these that had attended the meeting had not been disturbed or bro'aan in upon during the course of the proceedings by even one single appearance of tumult. Lord ELLENBOROUGH suggested to the Noble Earl opposite, that he should move the discharging of the order for the Committee on the Reform Bill to-morrow, anti to nthninate some other day, when it might be convenient to proceed in it Earl GREY said, I intended to move that the order be discharged, hut I think, my Lords, there is no necessity that any other order of the day should now be appointed. Lord DURHAM presented two petitions, one from the Yeovil Political Union, the other from the Corporation of the city cf Perth in favour oi the Reform Bill. Also a petition from the city of Durham fur the abolition of negro slavery. Lord ALTHORP did not enter the House till five o'clock. Upon his entrance, he was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers from the Members on the Ministerial side of the House. After order had in some measure been obtained, the Noble Lord rose and addressed the Rouse as follows :—" Sir, it is my duty to state to the House, in consequence of what took place elsewhere on Monday last, it appearing quite impossible that his Majesty's Government could hope to carry the Reform Bill in such a manner as they thought con sistent with their ditty, or without such alterations as would render it so perfectly in , fficient that they could not agree to it, consistently with the pledge which had been given-- under such circumstances we had but two courses to pur sue, either to tender our resignation to his Majesty, or ad vise him to take such measures as would enable us to carry the Bill through. We have adopted the for mer alternative; and I have now, Sir, to state to the House that we have tendered our resignations to his Majesty, and that his Majesty has been most graciously pleased to accept the same. 'We, therefore, at the present time, only hold our places until our successors are appointed. In making the statement I have done, Sir, it is impossible that I can conclude without expressing for my-self and my colleagues the sense we feel of the kindness and the condescension with which we have been treated by his Majesty ; I shall always remember it to the latest day of my life. Under the present circumstances, Sir, the House will need no apology from me in proposing the second reading of the Scotch Reform Bill, for the purpose of postponing it." Ea l CARNARVON did not think that he should be doing his duty to that House, to the people, and to the Sovereign, who was now left in an extraordinary difficulty, he might say perilous state, of seeing the most contemptuous discharge of the order of the day for considering in Committee the Reform Bill if he did not make a motion upon the subject. After the Lords had intimated their wish to proceed in their consideration of the Bill, in the most liberal and conciliatory manner, merely because the mode of proceeding in the alphabetical . . . . TheSPE:KER having put the question, Lord EBRINGTON rose. He felt deep regret at the statements which had been just pnade by the Noble Lord, and he thought it his duty, and he wished chat duty had been placed in abler hands, to give notice that he should to-morrow move a respectful address to his Majesty upon the present state of the affairs of the country, and he should follow that up by moving that the House should be called over.—(Hear, hear). Mr. G. LANGTON was sure that the communication which had been made would spread terror and alarm through the whole country. manner suggested by his Majesty's subjects had not been adopted, because the House would not allow schedules A and schedule B. to precede schedule C. the most extraordinary event had been consequent upon it. The Noble Earl op posite might act as he pleased, but he never told the House the alternative he did to his Sovereign. Their Lordships knew what was the ground, the slight ground of their defeat on the preceding evening of one of the most foul, most atrocious sets, which subjects perhaps ever dared to insult by it the ears of their Sovereign. Their Lordships had heard, as was natural to expect, that the Sovereign of this country, who was the first to recom mend Reform, upon its broad and general principles, had acted as every Sovereign of the House of Brunswick would act, and had thus gained, if possible, an additional claim to the gratitude of hi 4 subjects. But it should not be thrown out to toe public that the determination of the Government,. whatever their motive was bad, originated in the vital rejection of the Bill. For this Bill in that House must be discussed, though the majority of their Lordships, which he did not believe, were against it. He should therefore move in. stanter that the order of the day be now discharged, and should stand for Committee on Monday neat. Whether or not the House would be in a state to proceed on so early a day to the consideration of it he did not know, but he knew that it would then be easy to move fur a further adjournment of it. Lord GREY said, my Lords I have been too much accustomed to the intemperate, the violent, the personal --(Hear, hear)—the unparliamentory—(Hear, hear) — the almost disorderly attacks--(Loud cheers)—of the No- hie Lord, to he much affected by them on the occasion. Nor is it for the purpose of defending myself against im putations such as the Noble Earl has thought proper to cast on me that I now rise. I trust that in the estinta- Mr: HUME could not avoid expressing his individual opinion on the important information which had been com municated by the Noble Lord. In justice to the Noble Lord and his colleagues, he was bound to state that the situation in which they were placed by the vote of the ()alit. House had left them no other course to adopt than the one they had followed—(Cheering) —and here he would state his opinion that they had done themselves honour, which opinion he believed would be also entertained by the whole country for the course they had pursued.—(Cheers.) He exceedingly regretted that the just expectations of a united people which had been raised to such an extent, and carried on from day to day with an anxious hop• of a speedy termination had been wholly frustrated, and in a manner which made it very likely to end in some very great calamity. As a reformer, and a lover of his country, he lamented to see the peaceful hopes of the country interrupted. He did anticipate that the Noble Earl who had brought for ward this measure would have been enabled to carry it to a happy and a prosperous end. He again repeated his regret, and would wait with some anxiety the result of the motion of the Noble Lord (Ehrington) to-morrow, and he trusted that, upon that occasien, every Member would attend and agree in adopting that course which the interests of the country, which the dignity of the House, and the public peace required.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose, but gave way for Lord ALTHORP, who said that the Noble Lord who had given notice of a motion, had taken him by surprise, and he should have wished for a short time to consider the proposition. Ile submitted to his Noble Friend that, in the present state of affairs, whether any such step as hi: Noble Friend proposed to adopt, would not tend to embarrass the formation of a new Administration. He should certainly wish that the proposition had been post poned.—(Hear, and cries of " No.") Sir J. NEWPORT differed much from his Noble Friend who had just sat down.—(Cheers.) He entreated the Noble Lord (Ebrington) net to withdraw or postpone his motion.—(Cheers.) It was most impor tant, at a period like the present, when there had been a vast majority of the House in favour of the Bill, that they should express in opinion upon the present crisis. He, therefore, entreated the Noble Lard not to withdraw his motion.—(Cheers.) As to the Noble Lord's intention of calling the House te-morrow, he . hoped he would recon sider that part of his motion, because there was not time to send to those Members who were in the country. BLit tio❑ of your Lordships and of the public my cha racter does stand, I hope I may say it without presumption, sufficiently high to guard me from fear of suffering from such imputations—(Cheers)—from such a quarter. The Noble Lord is pleased to qualify the advice that I have felt it my duty to give to the Sovereign, as atrocious, as insulting, as such as no subject should give—(hear, hear, from the Opposi• tion)—and there are persons on the other side of the House who I see agree in that sentiment. All I can say on the subject is, that I del-rred that advice till the last moment, when the necessity of the circumstance of the time, and my sense of public duty imposed it upon me, as an obligation from which I thought I could not escape, humbly to tender that advice to his Alajesty.—(Cheers.) Whether, my Lords, that advice was right or wrong, when Noble Lords choose to bring me under discussion, 1 shall be prepared to argue the question, and defend myself in the best way I can—(Cheers)—and I appeal with confidence to the House and to the public, whatever motive the Noble Earl may please to impute to me, for I believe the Noble Earl attached some particlar motive to my conduct.—(Cries of " No, no.") If the Noble Lord mean• to disclaim it, I will not allude to motives which be has not imputed. But I say, my Lords, that advice I shall be prepared to defend whenever an opoortunity offers. --(Hear.) I throw myself upon the character of this House and the public to consider whether it was possible I could have had any other motives than those which arose from a strict sense of what I feel my public duty. Having given that advice upon an important subject, the alternative was simple, it being rejected, I suppose that a Minister of the Crown, when he stands in a situation of offering to his Alajesty upon an important subject, and if that advice, which is then tendered, is not accepted— and if the subject is of sufficient importance as that brought before your Lordships, he has no alternative than tendering, in all respect which I feel for his Majes ty's unbounded goodness to me, the situation which I held _ _ from my sovereign. My Lords, that is the course in which I have proceeded, but it seems, according to the Noble Lord's opinion, atrocious and violent, for he says thefe was only a trifling difference of opinion. The ques tion on which the Government were outnum bered was a mere matter of form, and nu deeper af f ected the essential principles or success of the Bill. It was proposed to be said in a most conci liatory spirit, and was, in point of fact, no more than a question whether the discussion of schedule C and D should take precedence of A. and B. Why if it was a question of that light importance, I think the censure of the Noble Lord would be just, but I did not so consi • der it.---(Hear, hear.) And in the debate I stated t. your Lordships the reasons why it appeared to me to hi a question of the utmost importance, materially affect. ing the success of the measure.—(Hear, hear, hear.) I stated to your Lordships that it seemed materially to at feet the principle of the measure, for the principle we un doubtedly proceeded on:was the relieving of the Constitutioi from that evil which was connected with nomination Lo- LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1832 it hoped the Noble Lord wool I persevere in the rest o! ,is motion, and that every Member who had flattered the ieople with the hope of Reform would come forward and xpress themselves fully and earnestly upon that occasion. --(Cheers.) He knew of no circumstances which male ,r, more necessary that the vtice of the House should be node known than the present, and it was essential that i- should be known before a new Administration was ierfected--(Cheers)—in order that they might not have persons incompetent to the duties of office, and that the country might not again be thrown into confusion. Mr. LABOUCHERE entreated the Noble Lord to per sist in his motion.—(Loud cheers.) He was convinced, :f at this crisis they shrunk from their duty, and if they arove,l false to their constituents, that the greatest ialarnity would result. He expressed his most ardent hope that the Noble Lord would not ra react his motion. If the House did but do that duty which the country expected they should do, the present , infortunate intelligence would be received certainly with sorrow, but at the same time calmly and peace lily ; but if the House did not put itself where, as representatives of the people, they should do, viz., in the front of the battle,—fur they had now come to the point of battle—(Cheers)—if they were such cravens as to permit a Government, which had honestly and fearlessly stood by the country upon the subject of the Reform Bill, driven from their seats by the other House of Parliament, he, for one, would have the most melancholy anticipations as to what would result , throughout the country.—(Loud cheers.) He was-con vinctal. that all would be safe to the country if the House did its duty ; but if they shrunk from it, or delayed per forming it, he feared such scenes would occur as every man would shudder to think of. Mr. O'CONNELL differed from the Hon. Member for Middle-ex, when he said the wishes of the people had been frustrated. If they were true to themselves, their wishes could not be frustrated. They had expressed their wishes in the most emphatic manner, by returning a Reformer wherever there was an open election to be had. The question now was, whether they would shrink from the contest before them,—whether a Inrouglimongering faction--a corrupt oligarchy, which had filched their rights from the people, by sending nominees into this House, should still prevent them from exercising those rights. If the people of England were but true to them selves, they would have Reform. If the people of- Scotland insisted upon Reform, they must have it, for they had never yet insisted upon any thing which they had not obtained. With their good broad swords they had won far them selves religious liberty, and with their good broad swords, if it were now necessary, he doubted not they would raise for themselves political independence. The people of Ireland would not, he would answer for them, shrink from their share of the constitutional contest.—(Hear.) He trusted the Noble Lord (Ebrington) would persevere in his motion for to-morrow, if it were only for the sake of giving gentlemen who had been voting for Reform an opportunity of showing, as he doubted not they would show, that that vote was sincere. Let them by their to• morrow's vote firmly but respectfully show iris Ma jesty, that his truly loyal subjects, those who had been the minor instruments in establishing his dynasty, were also those who were most determined to see the peo ple restored to their rights. Mr. JAMES begged to ask the Noble Lul' whether the public report, that the advice Ministers tendered to his Majesty, which had occasioned their resignation, was to create Peers, was a correct report 2—(Cheers.) Lord ALTHORP said, that he did not think himself at liberty to state what the advice tendered to his Majesty was.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. BARING--When gentlemen talked of the agita tion of the country, requiring them to entertain the mo tion of which notice was given for to-morrow, he would , v. nture to suggest to them all the agitation might be , of their own creating._( Cheers from the Opposition.) He would not anticipate the debate of to-morrow, but he would venture to hope that whilst the House justified its own opinions, it would respect that of other Committees of the legislature, and that whilst they did not behave like "crabeus," neither should they behave like bullies.— (Hear, hear, hear. He rose, howver, principal:) , to suggest to the Noble Lord whether it was , not tit that he should follow the course customary upon such uccasions, and state to the House what that advice was the rejection of which by his Majesty had occasioned the breaking up of the administration. He was old enough to recollect that in :807, on the dissolution of the then Government, the Minister of the Crown explained the na ture of the advice which had been given, and detailed the grounds on which the administration was compelled to retre. At present, except from rumour out of doors, they literally knew noffiing. All they knew was, that certain advice had been tendered to his Majesty, which his Majesty re , ecting, Ministers resigned. Was this sufficient to justify all the extravagant cheering they had heard of the conduct of Ministers on the one hand, and the denunciations of that of his Majesty on that of the other.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Hear.") They were not there to enhance the per sonal acts of his his Majesty ; but Ministers came to make a sort of complaint—(Cries of " No, no")—or statement, which was merely decorous to the Crown whilst they were kept in ignorance of what that advice was, the rejection of which made gentlemen exclaim with so much indignation. Gentlemen who so indignantly cheered he took it for granted knew what that advice was, knew whether the imperative demand made upon his Majesty was to create 60, 70, or more Peers. [lad such advice been tendered, he must say that it was the most unconstitutional, the most outrageous, he could imagine it possible to be offer d, and he was much mistaken in the feelings of the people of England, if the great majority of them, instead of par ticipating in the feelings of his Hon. relation opposite, did not feel gratitude to the Crown for resisting so unheard of a violation of the Constitution.—(Cheers from the Tories.) Colonel DAVIES said, although wished as much for Reform as the Honourable Gentleman who preceded him, was opposed to it, yet he concurred with him in thinking that Ministers ought in justice to his Majesty, to give some explanation of the nature of the advice they tendered to him.--(Cheers.) They could not now tell whether they had given constitutional advice, er under some extravagant excuse which it was impossible for his Majesty to grant. They had always been given to understand that his Majesty was ready to support his Government on the question of Reform, and a slur and odium would now be thrown upon the King if the advice tendered by the Government were not stated to them. He had heard several versions of that advice rumoured. The Honourable Gentleman who preceded him had spoke of the creating of 60 Peers, but he had heard that the demand made upon his Majesty was still more extravagant.--(Hesr, hear.) It had been currently reported by some persons that his Majesty was asked to give Ministers carte blanche to create 100 Peers, if it were necessary. Now, he should say that his Majesty was perfectly justified in refusing carte blanche to any Minister for such an exercise of the prerogative of the Crown,--(Hear.) _ _ Sir ROBERT PEEL concurred in what had fallen from the Gallant Colonel and his Noble Friend who had preceded him, that it was essential the House of Com mons should understand tie cause of the dissolution of ,the administration.—(Hear, hear.) He would not urge the Noble Lord now to +tate what the advice given to his Majesty, was, but be was sure, that upon re flection: the Noble Lord would pursue that course which had been pursued under similar circumstances by his predecessors, vie. solicit the permission of his Majesty to explain in detail the circumstances which had led to his resignation. Common justice required that before they took a step of the utmost importance in a crisis of particu• lar difficulty, Ministers should explain, as they might do with perfect safety the cause of the dissolution of the Mi ❑istry. It would be improper to ask the Noble Lord uow to mplie any such disclosure, but he repeated, he was sure lie must see the propriety of obtaining his Majesty's permission to do so.—(Cheers.) Mr. JAMES begged to s.iy that be had asked the question for the sake of the public, but entertained quite dif ferent sentiments from the Right Hon. Baronet or Gallant Colonel who had just spoken. He thought the most just and constitutional advice which could have been tendered to his Majesty, would have been to create any number of Peers that might have been necessa:y to carry the Reform Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He was aware that such was not the opinion of the Anti-Refoamers, but to pre vent a collision between the two Houses of Parliament-- (Cries of " Spoke, spole"—he had not uttered half a dozen words.—(Laughter.) The cries of " spoke, spoke," here became so loud that whot was further said by the Hon. Member could not be heard. Mr. DUNCOMBE hopod the Nuble Lord (Member for D evo n) would persist inhis motion and the call of the House .Iwhich he had given notice. It was necessary to see rhether there were any waverers in the House, and who 'Ley were. The isoble Lord (the Chancellor of the Ex ehequer) would he guilty of a breach of confidence, if veithoat his Majesty's permission, be told them what advice it was he had given, but had said enough to satisfy the country that it was to the effect that Reform Bill should suffer no mutilation. He was satisfied that the : , eople would stand by the Noble Lord, and the Hor 11. tuber for Hertford (Mr. Baring) might be assoree ri at the agitation he deprecated wonld be contineae as it ought until the G. , vernment was replaced in those ands fr,in which it had been wrested by the grossest hypocrisy and treachery.—(Loud cheers). Lord ALTHORP hoped that he had male himself understood in the explanaaion which he had offered ; he was not aware of cue expression of his which conk' be c.aistrued into disrespect of his Majesty. Wit! regard tr what had fallen from a Right lion. Centlema pposite, he did not at present feel himself authorised tt, say rm re than he had done. He did not mean ta give any pledge that he would make an further statement at any future tim e , b u t he had stated a 1 that he at present felt himad allowed to do. At the last change of Ministry there wet so rn,ny different contradictory reports abroad, that it might have been necessary, in order to allay the public mind, to consult his Majesty with regard to the explanations that should he made in that House, Istifitthis time no such necessity existed. He begged once more to disclaim having urged an j thing at all approachint disrespect to his Majesty. Mr. MACAULEY rose to offer his humble testimony to the tauth of the statement made by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer—that he had not made use of one word of disrespect towards his Majesty. He repudiated the words that had been used by an lion. Gen tleman opposite, that a Member of that House, who had said he was sorry that a particular Ministry had resigned ; that he was sorry that those resignations had been ac cepted, was acting without respect to his Majesty. He hoped and beseeched the Noble Member for Devonshire to persevere in his motion. Mr. BARING explained. Lord MILTON was obliged to say a few words in an swer to what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel), who had said that the choice of Ministers was a mere personal act of the Crown. If that was al lowed to be the case, there was an end to the responsi bility of Ministers. Sir R. PEEL said it was the fact alit the choice of Ministers was a mere personal act of the Crown. When a man accepted office when it was offered to him, then he became responsible ; still thai did not make it less a per sonal act of the Crown. Mr. HUNT hoped that before going into the de bate, of which notice had been given by the Noble Lord (Ebrington), that it 'mould be known what the facts were which baud 1,11 to the resignation of the Min istry. The people of England would blame some one ; either the Ministry must bear that blame, or it would be transferred to his Majesty. If the King had never been prepared to pass that Bill, the people of England had been most grossly deceived by the cry which had been rain d by the supporters of Government of " Our Reforming King." If such had been the crse, the Ministry were, and would yet be told of is by the people, guilty of most grossly deluding them. If the King bad altered his mind, the case would be differenl. Lord EBRINGTON said, after all that he had beard from all parts of the House, he still felt it was his duty to persevere in the motion of which he had given notice. He was anxious to see such a state of affairs as would allow his 111,j, sty to carry on the Government of the country peaceably. Many strange reports had been cir culated wiehin these few days of " waverers " in that House, and he felt that it was necessary--he felt that it was his duty, whether thes.., reports were true or false. He would not call for the penalties on those who were at a distance from town, but against those who were within reach of the notice, he certainly would press, it. He therefore felt it his duty to peresevere in motion, in order to show to the country what the real state of feeling in that House was. Most of the Members retired when his Lordship sal down. The Uniformity of Process Bill was raad a second time. (LErT SITTINQ.) HOUSE OF LORDS. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. There was a large attendance of Peers en both sides of :he House considerably before five o'clock. It was evi- dent that some important statements were to be made. Earl GREY entered the House at 10 minutes past five o'clock. He held in his hand several petitions. He had hardly sat a minute before a messenger arrived, requiring his attendance in the ante-room. After an absence of two minutes his Lordship returned to the Treasury Bench. The Duke of Sussex, Lord Durham, the Duke of Rich mond, and Lord Goderich, were also on the same bench. The LORD CHANCELLOR entered the House at a quarter-past five o'clock. _ Earl GREY immediately rose and presented seven peti tions in favour of Reform, and one praying for the aboli. tion of tithes. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Earl GREY, a'ter he had named the quarters from whence he held the petitions in his hand, said—Now, my Lords, after what passed in this House on Monday night, and the result of that night's debate, your Lordships will probably be prepared for the information which it is now my duty to give. The result of that decision certainly was such as to reduce me to the alternative, either, in conjunction with my , colleagues, of at once withdrawing ourselves from his Majesty's service, or of tendering to his Majesty our advice, which then appeared justified by the necessity of the case, to take such means as might insure the success of the Reform Bill now before your Lordships, or in the event of that advice being refused, to tender humbly and respectfully our resignations. My Lords, the last alter native we, after much consideration, adopted. We offered that advice to his Majesty which we thought our duty in the circumstances of the times required, and the alter• native submitted to his Majesty has been accepted by him, and he has graciously accepted our resignations—at the same time honouring us with the fullest expression of the approbation of our services during the time we have been in his Majesty's Councils, and during which we certainly have received from his Majesty a confidence and support, for which I must he thankful during the whole time I have yet to live. My Lords, under these circumstances then, we now, having given in our resignations, and those resignations having been ac cepted, only hold our offices till our successors cut be ap pointed ; and under these circumstances, my Lords, I think your Lordships will see the propriety of our not proceed-' ing with any public business, on which anything like a difference of opinion or contest should arise, until' a new Administration shall have been formed. I shall, there fore, not propose to-morrow to proceed with the Committee on the Reform Bill. But to-night there is an order of the day for the consideration of a Bill of great public import ance—l mean the Bill for a new regulation of the offices of the Admiralty and the Navy. My Lords, this is a Bill, as I have stated, of great public importance, which has received the sanction of persons of the highest autho rity, not now in his Majesty's service. It was of great moment that that Bill should pass with as little delay as possible. The 14th has been the day fixed by those who brought the Bill up front the Com mons, for th e operat i ons of t h e B i ll commenc i ng . If, theref ore , there is no material objections to be taken to this Bill, my Noble Friend behind me will propose to proceed wi t h i t. If there should be any objections to i t, this, like other matters, on which questions may arise, must be deferred in propriety, till an opportunity is af forded of considering what shall arise, after the formation of a new Government. This being the state of circumstances, my Lords, I trust your Lordships will concur with me in the propriety of defering for the present the consideration of all such matters, as are likely to considerable difference of opinion. Lord ELLENBOROUGH—My Lord, with respect to that Bill to which the Noble Earl has last alluded, I think it very likely that there may arrive considerable difference G —After what I have stated, my Lords , my of opinion, ther e f ore , I wou ld suggest that the considera tion of it sh ou l d also be defered. Earl GREY __After o f go i rg on with it now coul d o f course on ly depend on th e p l easure of your Lo.dsh i ps. I h ave no ob jection to its being postponed, at the saute time the Noble Lord opposite will see the impossibility of the operations of the Bill coming into effect by the time it bas been men tioned. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from e I,4hs, The clause Ertl applied to the correction of that ,1 was postponed, in order to give pre. edence to another, .1 the measure of which was eto del end on the amount .f that disfranchisement, width I stated ought to be tsga'ated by a consideration of the character of those roughs—(Loud cheers)—not capable of recurring le:nbrra to the House of Commons consistently with spirit of the Constitution.—(Loud cheers.) B y horn was the proposition made ? By a Noble od Learned Lord, who in the course of that ,y speech in which he made the proposition, still onsidered the Bill as inconsistent with tie safety of the ltivernment and eubveraive of the Constitution.---(Cheer) What right had I to expect from these persons that tl at; uuid ' t u o P e P i 'l e l :co a ns n e ' n ' t " bu b measure to ishicli it evtiul ywas t supportedpo ;si Noble Duke opposite wh o h as d ec l ared himself that tl i i be li , e; ir sent state of the representation is perfect—( Hear, heat ) --not capable of amendment by human ingenuity , and vas fora, ,end who even then declared that lie should eventually rote against the measure. By whom else was the rt.position supported ? By another Noble Duke, who t.ted that lie would vote against any measure of disfran .isement whatever ; while another Noble Baron stated t':at another Bill might be pas ed without my disfranchisement whatever. Why, under these cir- Ilaristances, i 6 it not rhildiali—(Louti cheers)—is it not ..eildish to say that this teas a mere question t f form—that diie was a mere question of precedence—that the principles if the Bill, that ti e efficiency of the measure, were not to te. affected—(Continued cheers)—and that we had re nai d on this side of the House to accept of a propmition originating in no party spirit, and propounded in a con ciliatory disposition ?—(Hear, heir, and kid cheers. ) Aly Lords, under these circumstances, I felt that I had lint one course to pursue, either to see that the means of insuring the succcess of thie Bill existed and would tat' used. and if not, of resigning my situation ; for, my L trde, it was impossible for me, con , iatently with what I think is my duty to the public, consistently with what is due to the consistency of my own charac•er and the House, to sit here the shadow of a Minister—(Land mil long cheering)—the author of this Bill, end yet to suffer it to be cut and carved, mutilated and deformed, and yet to oppose no resistant e. My Lords, it would ti e a violent proceeding in the Noble Lard's opi. nion ; but by all reasonable men, even by those who a G •tptiosed to the measure itself, it will only be that course which was called for by that sense of duty which, I truer, will always govern my conduct—(cheers)—and by that tense of honour which I trust in God will ever aatu its me.—(Lon 1 and continued chee:s.) My Lords, I stand before the public responsible for what I have dune —a responsibility which I am willing to meet—(Cheery) and to vindicate the conduct I have pursued, and the motives which have dictated it, whenever a proper occa sion requires. —(Loud cheers.) But now only one word more as to what the Noble Lord opposite called the centemptuous manner of discharging the motion. My, Lords, I am not sensible that there was anything of contempt—in the manner in which I proposed to l'iseharge the order of the day. It is not required by the rules of the House tl at any other order of the day should be appointed. In the present state of public affairs I cool I not, as the Noble Lord by his conditional appoint ment of a day himself admits, fix precisely a day. I certainly cannot proceed with the Bill under the circumstances I have stated.—( Loud Cheers.) I TRUST THAT OUT OF ALL THOSE UNHAPPY DIFFERENCES OF OPINION THAT EXIST, A MEASURE OF REFORM, A GREAT, EXTENSIVE, EFFECTUAL, AND BENEFICIAL PLAN OF REFORM—(Loud cheers)—FOß IF IT IS NOT GREAT, EXTENSIVE, AND EFFEC TUAL, IT CANNOT BE BENEFICIAL—(Loud and long continued cheering)—will be produce'', and wit restore the confidence of the public in the insti tutione of the state.—(Loud cheers.) I trust, I say, then out of t'aese unhappy differences now prevailiug a tnea sure will arise that will give satisfaction. If it falls slitrt of what I think is right anti necessary, yet it it have that effect it will give me sincere pleasure and sa tisfaction, but I cool linot trust, under the circumstances I was placed in, to carry a measure subject to daily de'eats and alterations that would be forced on roe by a majority of the House dill:ring with me 80 widely in opinion, and compacd as to 4.sths at least of persons who object to all . Reform whatever.—(Loud and long continued cheers.) Th u ., nay Lords, I have thought it necessary to vindicate myself against the uncalled for, ill timed. and I must say the unprovoked attack of the Noble Lori. I should not, however, have aternpted any answer to t having been exposed to so much of the same character— (Cheers)—had I not thought it of more importance to set myself right with your Lordships and the public with respect to the course I hare pursued and the motives that have dictated it--(Loud cheers) — particularly iu giving that advice, and tendering that re signation, to his Majesty, which nothing, in the present circumstances of the country, but a painful gentile of du'y could have compelled the to give.—(The Noble Earl sat down amidst loud and long-continued cheers.) The Earl of CARNARVON thought that the resig n ttion of Ministers ought not to prevent the present Bill being proceeded with, as by that means its many defects might be shown to the country. It ,vas now perfectly evident that some:Reforna was neceseary, and he should, move that the House should proceed with the Committee on the Bid on Monday next, by which means Noble Lords would be enabled to deliver their sentiments on the clauses of the Bill as they at present stood. He thought an adjournment of the question to Monday would be sufficiently long ; at any rate, if it were not, there would be no difficulty then in delaying it further. The LORD CHANCELLOR put the question from the 'Woolsack, and the further proceedings in Committee on the Bill we're agreed to be postponed to Monday next. The subject then dropped. The Duke of Sussex anti Lord Surrlren each pre !rented a petition, but the purport of them were not heard, owing to the confusion and noise which prevailed in that House. Earl GREY said, as there was no important business before the House, he should move an adjournment until hi iday.—Agreed to. The House then adjourned. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY S. V. BLACKWELL. Sir E. SUGDEN moved for the usual process of the Court to be executed by a Sergeant-at-Arms against the defendant, for a contempt. In support of this application he read the return made by tho bailiff of the hundred of Scarsdale to a writ of at tachment, transmitted to him by the Sheriff of Derbyshire. The bailiff knowing it was d fficult to apprehend the defendant at all, by reason of a fero cious dog which he kept, (and which dog had often before prevented the bailiff from executing I,gal process), and that it was impossible to apprehend the defendant by d a y, w e nt, accompanied by two men, and armed with a thick stick. Having reached the defendant's house at about ten o'clock at night, and having ascertained, by hearing the defendant's voice, that he was within, the bailiff posted himself and his men so as to take advantage of the first op portunity that might offer to effect an entrance. At about half-past eleven the door was opened, when the bailiff, putting his stick between the door and door-cheek, prevented its being shut, and with some difficulty got in,accompanied by his followers. A cry was then set up by the inmates, that men were break ing into the house, and some one called fur the gun to shoot them. After a struggle between two men in the lower part of the house and the bailiff and his party, the defendant, followed by his wife and daugh ters, came down stairs in their night clothes, and armed with certain utensils, the contents of which they emptied over the bailiff. The latter, however, seized on the defendant, and held him for a short time, until he disengaged himself and made his escape out of the window in his shirt. The contest continued for some time longer, until the bailiff and tits party withdrew without having effec t ed their capture, but not until another chamber-pot had been hrown over them, and one of the followers' fingers butt beer, severely cut by one of the young ladies u pen-knife. Sir Edward Sugden said it was annece,sary to comment on these facts. He was entitled, he beLeved, according to the practice of the Court, which was well established, although it was seldom found necessary to resort to it, to an order for the commitment of all the parties. His Lordship left the Court at about half-pas 2 The Earl of MuLGRAvE, in his new novel, " The Contrast," is not content with exposing the follies and vices of his own claw of society, but hay ,ng looked about him with an inquiring eye, has & won _ ,trated that it is not only in the higher circles that luxury -xercises s baneful influence, but that the middle and lime' irders are not free tram the iufirinities of their betels.
