His MAJESTY will arrive in town to-morrow from Windsor, and will hold a Levee at two o'clock, at St. James's Palace. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S motives for opposing the Irish Reform Bill will attract at tention from their transcendant absurdity. I [is Grace is averse to the measure for the very rea sons that every other thinking man would be in its favour. "In his opinion it might have been exceedingly expedient to amend the representa tion of England and even of Scotland, without touching that of Ireland." Now even the most moderate Liberal allows, we believe, that the state of the Irish representation is as corrupt as can be, yet here we have the Duke of WELLING TON opposing all amendment on the score of this very acknowledgment. At least we know of no other reason that his Grace can possibly assig n . Not an argument in favour of Reform that applies to England and Scotland, but ap plies with tenfold force to Ireland. Yet this is the very reason why his Grace will have nothing to d o with her regeneration. Argument and common sense, he cannot but perceive, though it may not be convenient to allow the fact, are both against him ; and as he holds both in supreme contempt, he is resolved to set their claims at defiance. It is odd what a horror great Generals have of being supposed to be under the influence of common sense. We verily believe that if such a suspicion were ever to be attached to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it would drive that illustrious warrior distracted. The Duke of WELLINGTON has a notorious disrelish of argument, unless it happen to chime in with his own view of a question. In this re spect he did himself no more than justice when he talked, some years since, of his possible in sanity. Lord PLUNKET replied to his Grace's objections in a way that he clearly did not relish. However, it is highly expedient—to adopt one of the Duke's pet terms—that no/ens miens a great man should hear the truth sometimes. It is not often that that strange voice rings in the ears of the illustrious. The Bill was read a se cond time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. The vote for a grant of 37,500/. in support of the new system of Education in Ireland, was, af ter a long discussion, carried last night by a great majority. The discussion was equally unin teresting with those which have preceded it on th e same subject ; and differed from them only in the altered tone of argument assumed by the opponents of the measure. The great subject of complaint formerly was the mutilation of the Scriptures. That argument, however, being found no longer tenable, they now have recourse to the most paltry and miserable quibbles about particular versions of the Bible, and the proper interpreta tion of certain passages. One of the objections of th e Hon. Member for the nomination borough of Dundalk is worth the dark ages. He objects to the new system, because in one of the school books it was asserted in a note that it was th e Virgin MARY who was to " crush the Serpent's head." This is quite in keeping with a placard exhibited on a pole in New Palace yard, announcin g for sale a work pretending to prove that the Commissioners for Educa tion in Ireland sanction the worship of the Virgin MARY. We will not go so far as to say that the Hon. Member is the author of this penny production, or that the placard bearer is paid by him ; but certainly there is a wondrous similarity between his arguments and the purport of the publication. The opposition to this measure is all of a piece, and instead of benefiting true religion, causes it the greatest in jury. Not only the infidel, but the man who is well inclined to Protestantism, will form no favourable idea of it when he finds the champions of the cause have recours-! to per version of facts and to means of ex it-tnent which would be regarded as disgraceful, even at an electioneering contest. It is a circumstance worthy of remark, that of the seventeen who voted against the measure last night, all, with the exception of Lord SANDON, arc the avowed enemies of Reform, and hostile to almost every measure introduced by Government. Colonel SIBTHORP, Lord ENCOMBE, Mr. GORDON, the PERCIVALS, and the LEFROYS, are the chief opponents of a system which was more calculated than any other to con ciliate the two parties, but whose beneficial effects hare been much diminished, at all events, delayed, by the vile, political, and bigoted feel ing excited by the Ultra-Orange faction. Sir ROBERT PEEL, voted against Ministers last night, without having, either on that occasion or at any former period, ventured to state his rea• sons for such a course. The statement of Lord HOWICK relative to the payment of the clergy of Canada, will be hailed with satisfaction by all who wish to see our colonies pay the expenses of their own Go vernment. A sum of 27,5001. was voted for the support, as Mr. HUME said, of a small sect, not one-twentieth part of the population ; and an objection being made to it, an assurance was given, that on the death or removal of the pre sent occupants, the salaries would not be conti nued to their successors. The church system in these colonies is nearly as absurd as that in Ire land. Canada was originally peopled from France, and the great majority of the inhabitants are Roman Catholics ; yet the Government per sisted in keeping up a Protestant establishment, without the least hope of making converts, and serving no purpose but to make Protestantism despicable in the eyes of the people, by exhibit ing the anomalies of a parish church without hearers, and parsons receiving a large salary for doing nothing. In the absence of further information from Don PEDRO'S expedition, it will be interesting to the public to learn every particular that can be collected in regard to the operations of the contending parties. By the French mail this morning, we have received the following inte resting account : " The news of the landing of Don PEDRO was received on the 15th inst. at Guetaria, a small port near St. Sebastian, by a vessel which left Villa de Conde on the 12th inst., at night ; and, according to accounts received by the authorities of Villa de Conde, after au engagement between the troops of Don PEDRO and those of Don MIGUEL, the latter retreated on Pemposta, forcing the inhabitants of the country round them to leave their homes, and destroy all the provisions they could not carry off. "On the 12th the authorities had already learned that most of the population of the pro vince of Entre Duero and Minho had pro claimed Donna MARIA the 2d, although the military and civil authorities tried to prevent them. A great number of monks, priests, as well as the civil authorities, with other indivi duals in the pay of Don MIGuEr,, retreated into Spain on the side of Galicia ; and it was ex pected that the Captain-General of Spain of that province would immediately assemble his forces on the Turg, and establish a cordon of observa tion on the right of the Minho. " News had also been received at Villa de Conde, that the insurrection in favour of Donna MARIA was extending with rapidity in the pro vince of Trasos Montes, as well as to the pro vince of Beira. " When the troops of Don MIGUEL aban doned Oporto, their plan was to take a position on the right of the Dolga, and to concert mea sures with the Commandant of the provinces of Trasos Montes and Beira; but this project of uniting the forces of the three provinces to act against Don PEDRO could not be executed." The Gentlemen who belonged to the late Victualling Office have conferred a very flattering mark of regard and esteem upon Mr. CLIFTON, the late Secretary of that Department, whose appointment expired on the abolition of the Victualling Board. They have presented him with a most elegant and superb Silver Vase, sur mounted by his Crest, and having his Arms emblazoned on one side, and the following inscription engraved on the other : " Presented to MARSHALL WALLER CLIFroN, Esq. Secretary to the late Victualling Board, as a mark, however inadequate, of the esteem and regard of his friends in that De partment, and in testimony of the sense they must ever entertain of his uniform kindness and attention during the period he so ably conducted the important duties of that office. June 11, 1832. RYE, JULY 23.—The Hop Plantations of this neighbourhood are in a very thriving state, but the ac counts we get generally frotn Kent, with the exception of Tenterden and Cranbrook, are of a very unpromising cha racter. COVENT GARDEN I.'IIEATRE.--LAPORTE had a good house last night, and again on Saturday night. Les Jeux de l' Amour et du Hazard, with the new ballet La Resemblance, must have returned a most satisfactory account to his bourse. The first is a petite comedic, founded on incidents bearing some resemblance to the courtship of Rosetta and the gardener in Love in a tape. Mademoiselle MARS performs the part of the lady, we need not say, in the most captivating manner. The under-plot of the servants (Mademoiselle ST. ANOE and LAPORTE), w h o eac h d ream o f w i n ning rank and fortun e , 1 5 very humourous and laughable, particularly on the part of LAPORTE and on the arrival of the denouement. The only fault we should find with this piece is, that it is a 1 itttle too m uc h d rawn out. T h e b a ll et L a R e s em bl ance , is,in its few dramatic incidents, the prettiest we have seen TAGLIONI in. A wag, probably a sufferer, being asked what sign " tte fishmo nger " should give to h i s s h op were lie to convert itinto a tavern, replied " The Fleece." COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT....-RODERTS V. KNOWLES AND OTHERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that in this case, which stood for judgment this morning, and in which it could he recollected an ex carte injunction was obtained by the plaintiff to restrain the defendants from infringing his patent for an invention of making machines for spinning cotton, on the further consideration which he had been able to give to it, his doubt upon the plaintiff's right had become considerably lessened ; nevertheless, it still ap peared to him to be a fit case to be tried, therefore he should continue the injunction, and direct the plaintiff to proceed to a trial of his right at law. He was inclined to Ity the plaintiff under the terms of proceeding to trial at these assizes for the county of Lancaster (it being a Man chester case), but it had occurred to him, that although the plaintiff might be ready, yet that the defendants might not be prepared to go to trial so soon, and should they find they could not be prepared within that time, by giv ing notice to the plaintiff a week before the trial could come on, then the trial should stand over far the present. The SOLICITOR -GENERA L, on behalf of the defendants, said, that although it was a great object with his clients to have the trial as speedily as possible, yet he did not conceive it would be possible for them to get prepared for trial in two or three weeks; therefore, at once, be under took to say they could not go to trial so soon. The Loan CHANCELLOIi. then observed, that as that was so, and as the principal scientific witnesses who mould have to be examined resided in London, he would direct that the case should be tried either in the Court of Exchequer or in the Court of Common Pleas in Middle sex, and as speedily as the business in such Court would permit it to come on. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) CONTEMPT.-ARCHER V. WISE. Mr. CHtsw, applied this morning !o the Court for the discharge, or less rigorous confinement, of a gentleman named Green, who had been declared by the Master the purchaser of certain property at the sum of 5,9001., which, though ordered, be had not paid into Court. The property in question, which was held in trust for the be nfit of infants, and had been put up to sale by order of the Court, being contiguous to Mr. Green's property, be felt anxious to obtain it, and employed An agent for that purpose, who purchased it for him at the above sum. Mr. Green not possessing sufficient funds to meet this demand, endeavoured to raise 6,0001. by mortgage on both properties, but failed in doing so, in consequence of the dif ficulty in making a good title to port of the property he had purchased. Mr. Green then offered to give all the security in his power for the payment of the money; the parties would not consent to the adoption of such a course, and obtained an order, calling upon him to pay the pur chase money into Court, in default of which Mr. Green was committed to the Fleet, where he now remained in close custody. Mr. Green stated that his non-compliance with the order of the Court arose not from any contu macy on his part, but from an utter inability to raise the money—that the confinement he was now undergoing would not only be prejudicial to his health, he being ad vanced in life, but would entirely prevent him from selling the estate for the purpose of paying off this purchase money. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said he should be most happy if be could grant the application ; but if he did so, he did not see what security the Court would have for the pay ment of the money. Mr. BARBER, who appeared on behalf of the trustees, observed that his clients were not desirous that the gentle man should continue in prison, provided the Court, con sistently with the security of the infanta and the trustees, could release hint. It was now three years since the purchase took place. If Mr. Green would go in before the Master, and tender such security as he could approve, there could be no objection, but the Learned Counsel did not see how the Court could release him in the first instance. The VICE-CHANCELLOR considered that all he could do was to refer it to the Master. to see whether Mr. Green could give any and what adequate security, and whether it would be for the benefit of the parties to ac• cept it. Mr. CiriNG observed that if such was the opinion of the Court, he must take the order, whatever inconveni ence his client might experience by being longer incar cerated. ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WORCESTER, ilfoxpay, JULY 23. On Saturday the 21st instant, the Commission was opened with the usual formalities. Yesterday (Sunday) the Judges, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, and Mr. Baron GURNEY, accompanied by JOSEPH JOHN MARTIN, Esq. High Sheriff, attended divine service at the Cathedral, and this morning the proceedings in the two Courts commenced. The Grand Jury having been sworn in, the Learned JUDGE delivered his charge to them. There is a list of twenty-two prisoners for trial, amongst them are core charged with murder, one with highway robbery, one with manslaughter, and oue charged with attempting the lives of three persons by poison. There is also a charge of forgery. Thomas King was indicted for feloniously and bur glariously entering with others the dwelling-house of Richard Gibbs, and stealing from thence some silver tea spoons, food, and articles of clothing. The prosecutor and his man on the night of the robbery beard a noise, and going down stairs they missed the property, and on proceeding out of doors saw some men running away, and afterwards part of the property was found in a field near the premises, and a shoe belonging to the prisoner was also found o❑ the premises. The defence on the part of the prisoner was, that he was not possessed of his full intellects, and witnesses were calkl to support it. _ The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned Judge sentenced him to transportation for life.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds' at Con stantinople, dated June 25 . " No fresh acts of piracy, of any great importance, have recently occurred ; and as the French and English Admirals have arranged convoys to sail from Smyrna twice a month, it is hoped the trade may he considered as suffi ciently protected." Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds', at Smyrna, dated J une 19 :—" Official notice has been given that a convoy to all flags will be given from this, west ward, touching at Syra, twice a month, namely, on the . sth by an English, and on the 20th by a French man of war. The Russians it is expected will give convoy from Milo, through the Arches to Syra, and from thence to Smyrna and the Dardanelles, but the days are not yet fixed. A small vessel under the Maltese flag arrived yes terday, having left Napoli de Romania, in ballast, a few days previously ; when off Andros she was boarded by a Greek mystic, with upwards of forty men on board, and the captain and passengers plundered of their money, clothes, and effects.

EARLY flAuvEsT.---On Tuesday last, the 17th inst., part of a field of barley belonging to Mr. TI-10 s DAVIDSON, at Swinton Bridge End, was cut down perfectly ripe. This is almost unprecedented in this neigh bourhood, but it must not be taken as a rule for the com mencement of any thing like general harvest. Here aed there a f ew patc h es of corn will speedily ripen, but i t will be several weeks ere the sickle be in much request.-- Kau) Mail. GENERAL CE%IETARY COMPANY. (Tills DAY.) The first general meeting of the proprietors of this Company, since its incorporation by Act of Parliament, was held this thy at Exeter Hall, to receive the report of the Provisional Committee, and to appoint a general Com mittee for the ensuing year. At one o'clock Viscount Ingestrie took the chair. His Lordship said that great delay had occurred in conse quence of the many difficulties the Committee had had to encounter in getting the Act of Parliament. It had, however, at last received the Royal assent, awl Ole present meeting was called in order to receive the resignation of the Provisional Committee, a report of whose labours would be read, and to appoint another Committee. The SECRETARY read the report, which entered at length into the obstacles which had impeded the progress of the Bill in Parliament. A claim, advocated very strongly by the Bishop of London, had been made by the Clergy of the parishes within the bills of mortality for compensation for the loss of fees upon the burial of bodies which would be taken out of those parishes and interred in the Cemetery, and at length a clause was inserted, com pelling the Company to pay a fee to the clergyman of each parish from which a body may be brought to the Cemetery for interment of 2s. 6d. if the body be placed in a brick grave, and Is. 6d. if it he buried in the open ground. The purchase of the land at Kelsall. green, had been completed for 9,400/. and the draining and the erection of a handsome boundary wall, were in the course of execution. During the alarm respecting► the cholera, Government had contracted with the committee to pur chase seven acres of the land for the purpose of burying those who died of cholera ; but when the alarm subsided, Government declined completing the purchase. Much difficulty had also been experienced, in endeavour ing to prevent the Birmingham Rail-road Com pany from cutting their line through the Ceme tery Company's land ; but, as that Bill bad been thrown out in the Lords, that difficulty was overcome. The formation of a plantation ou the land had already commenced, but was at present suspended. The whole amount of the subscriptions was 36,7251., of which 22,1931. had been already paid up. The CHAIRMAN said the Bishop of London had objected to its being made compulsory on him to consecrate the ground, but that objection was got over by the insertion of a clause to pay the fees named in the report to the clergy of the metropolitan parishes, in addition to which an ad ditional 2s. 6,1. upon each body taken from Marylebone was to be paid to the rector of that parish, whose sole in come was derived from burial fees. The Noble Chairman added, that the Committee felt themselves bound to consent to those claim-, for they saw that if they did not, they would lose the Bill for the present session, and would have to go to the expense of coadnencing anew next session. The business was proceeding when our reporter left. SCOTCH ELECTIONS. (From the Scotsman.) REPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGIL-The canvass for the Lord Advocate and Mr. Abercroinby goes on pros perously. From many of the Wards no returns have yet been made ; but from those which have been canvassed the returns are highly favourable. The Tories have been canvassing for Mr. Forbes Hunter Blair, whose address, with the requisition which preceded it, will be found in our first page. No other conservative candidate is to be produced ; and we have been assured that the thick and thin Tories will give their second votes to Mr. Aytoun, so that some of our radical friends will find themselves in strange company ! Of Mr. Blair's qualifications we need scarcely say one word. He is a person of honour and in tegrity, and much respected in private life ; and this is all that can be sail of him even by his friends, for as a public man he is completely unknown. So far as regards the ac complishments and powers of a Senator, it would be ludi. crous to bring him into comparison for one moment with Mr. Jeffrey or Mr. Abercromby ! He is brought for ward, in fact, simply and purely on the ground of his con servative principle, of which he makes no secret in Es address. STIRLINGSHIRE.-Admiral Fleming's address to the electors of Stirling will be found in another column. It speaks the language of a frank, manly, honest Reformer. . - - _ PERTHSHIRE.-Lord Ormelie has finished his canvas in Perthshire, and his admirable address in our first page will be read with delight by every friend to liberty in Scotland. We understand that his friends speak of his prospects in the most sanguine terms, though his oppo nents have resorted to very illegitimate expedients to defeat his efforts. AYR BURGHS. —Our paper to-day contains, among others, an electoral address from one of the staunchest and most enlightened friends of Reform in Scotland, we mean Mr. Kennedy. There are net many Scots Members who can say, like him, that his " public life has been devoted zealous!y and sincerely to advance the real interests of the people," and that " though elected under the close system, he did represent the opinions of those" who considered that system a grievance, and who have now independent votes to bestow. _ _ William Forbes, Esq., of Callendar, intends to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the county of Stirling.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK. At present we have no arrivals, not even a single ship letter. The panic which prevailed yesterday in the Stock Exchange in regard to the cholera, has greatly subsided this morning. We do not hear of any new cases or deaths. The house has been fumigated. Consols opened at the same price they left off, S2i, 83 for the account. HALF PAST ONE. We have no political news up to the present hour of the least importance, and the sombre appearance which prevailed in the City yesterday has entirely disappeared ; there is even more animation in the Funds this day ; Cm sols, which were in the early l•art of the morning at 82 83, are at present 83i for the account. Owing to the 111.iney Market being better, we have not a feature in the Foreign Market worth observation at present. To-morrow will be a holiday at the Bank and at the Stock Exchange. THREE O'CLOCK.

The Marquis of ABERCORN has taken a hunting lodge on the banks of the Dee, about fifty miles beyond Aberdeen, for the purpose of enjoying the sports of grouse-shooting and fishing. His Lordship's plate, horses, luggage, &c., were shipped aboard the Duke of TVellington steamer, on Saturday last, at St. Katherine's Dock, to be conv,yed to Aberdeen. The Noble Marquis intends to e nt er t a i n a party o f di st i ngu i s h e d young friends during his sojourn in the Highlands, and make the "wel kin ring" with their joyous "sports and pastimes." The Marquis contemplates embarking for the north about Friday or Saturday next.

It appears that Mrs. ATKINSON slept on the second floor, and getting out of bed in her sleep, unfastened her room door, and proceeded down stairs to the back drawing room, opened the window, and walked out on the leads of the adjoining out offices, from which she fell into the yard, a height of 26 f eet .

(Vide Description of a late Fête) What a pleasing contrivance! how aptly devised, 'Twixt tar and magnolias to puzzle folks' noses And how the tar-barrels were, doubtless, surprised To find themselves seated, like " Love, among roses I" What a pity we can't, by precautions like these, Clear the air of that other, still viler infection, That Radical pest, that old Whiggish disease, Of which eases, true blue, are in every direction. If we had, 'stead of barrels, an Auto da Fe Of a few good combustible Lords of the Club, Why, they'd fume, in a trice, the contagion away— And there's Bucky would burn like a barrel of bub. How R—den would blaze, and what rubbish throw out! A volcano of nonsense, in active display;— While V—ne, as a butt, amidst laughter would spout The hot nothings he's full of, all night and all day. And then for a finish, there's 's Duke, Good Lord, how his chin-tuft would crackle in air!— Unless (as is shrewdly surmised from his look) He's already bespoke for combustion elsewhere.—Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT TER SALL' S. Several bettings were made yesterday on the Goodwood Cup, which will be one of the heaviest cup-betting races known for many years.

The general lousiness in the City, both as regards Co lonial and other descriptions of produce, is much impeded by the alarm which prevails respecting the prevailing disease. Merchants and traders appear alike indisposed to enter largely into any *operations except to meet imme diate wants. SUGAR.-Prices continue heavy, but the sales of the week ending to-day are nearly 3,000 hhds. The sup plies are becoming very abundant, above 7,000 hhds. having been landed last week. The stock in the West In dia Docks is now 24,000 hhds. Foreign Sugar is ri.t much inquired after. East India Sugars are gen~rallti from 6d. to ls. per cwt. lower. Refined goods are in ra ther brisk demand ; fine lumps fetching 71s. per cwt. COFFEE.-The prices are mostly all lower, and hair little doing to-day. Fine Jarnaicas are sold at 90s. 6d. to 915., and low middling has been sold at 79a. to 82s. 6d. per cwt. To effect sales of foreign and East India Cof fees to any extent a decline beyond that of last week must be submitted to. The arrivals of foreign Coffees have been pretty large. . Rust AND BRANDY.—L ewards are still in demand. The deliveries for home use are increasing, but for export are !United. The stock in the West India Docks is now about 21,000 puns. and 1,900 hhds. In Brandy a feu shipping orders for low quality have been complet.A, but the market remains languid. HOPS AND Sams.—The account. from the plantations continue very variable. The duty is still called from 155,0001. to 160,0001. In Seed. the crushers are hang ing hack for lower prices. The arrivals of Rape-seed are b-coming pretty large ; some picked samples have realized 241. per last. INDIGO—Since the conclusion of the Company's sale deliveries have been pretty large. The prices are un altrred. Tal,Low—The new Tallowy are beginning to come in freely—last week 3,620 barrels arrived, and since the Ist of June 8,400 casks have been announced. The stock is now about 8,000 casks against 32,878 at the same perio , l of last year. Prices have given way—and 41s. 6d. per ctvt. is the nearest quotation this morning. Town Tallow is full Is. 6d. per cwt. lower than on this day last year. The delivery last week was 935 casks. COTTON—The Market looks firm, with pretty good business doing. FATAL ACCIDENT.—This morning, about a quarter before one o'clock, a most distressing accident occurred by the falling down of a considerable portion of the Ship and Shovel public-house in Hungerford Market. At the above-mentioned time the landlord and his family were greatly alarmed by the noise of the fall, when tht former flew down stairs, crying out, " For God's sake come out of my house for it is falling." His next door neighbour, Mr. J. DOBSON, surveyor, No. 35, Craven. street, on heating the dreadful noise, immediately flew to the spot, wheie he beheld the appalling spectacle of one alf of a five-story house levelled with tl:e ground, an was informed that three human beings were buried in th• ruins. He was at that moment joined by WEBB, a po liceman, and two men named GRAVES and VINCENT, and another, who, regardless of the danger of being buried alive in the threatened ruins, commenced removing the rubbis). in order to extricate the unfortunate sufferers, and by dint of extreme exertion they removed a considerable portion, and by a quarter past two succeeded in getting two pf them out alive,. but much bruised and lacerated. Thr other was dead, being struck by one of the beams. The, were conveyed into the remaining part of the Ship and Shovel. Mr. HAYES, of May's-buildings, was sent for to cup one of the sufferers, but, to his disgrace be it said, Is refused to perform the operation till he was paid 70., the amount of his fee. The name of the deceased is JOHN PARKINS, a carman ; and the two sufferers were the pot-bo) and another carman. qIE.ETING of the INHABITANTS 01 GILES and ST GEORGE, BLOOMSBURY. Yesterday a public meeting of these two parisbc3 t. , ok place in Messrs. Bennett and Co.'s Timber y , rd, Little Queen-street. HENRY WILLIAMS, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn-fields, was voted into the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting was called for the purpose of choosinr , and instructing a Com nittee in behalf of the ;hove parishes, which Com mittee should co-operate with those of the other ralistres of the borough of Finsbury, on the subject if Parliamentary pledges. The Committee, when vhen formed, was to r, ceive special instruc tions from the parishioners as to its ulterior pro ceedings. Mr. ROGERS proposed the first resolution, to the effect, that a Committee of 24 householders, half om each parish, be appointed to consult with the o-her Committees of the Borough, as to fit pledges he proposed to persons willing to become can didates. Mr. SIVATMAN seconded the resolution. Upon which, Mr. TEMPLE came to explain the &rcumstances under which they were met. M.,ny persons may object to the way by which they were assembled ; but it was their own fault, for they were not sufli ciently unanimous in their Opposition to a select. body. He had been nominated one of the Vestry, and accepted the nomination in order to do good, but did, he was sorry to confess, very little, for there was too great a majority against him. Mr. Rogers had said that it was impossible for the public: ► know what was done in the Vestry. This was not exactly correcr, since the books were open to public inspection, and the names of proposers and seconders of motions could be in that manner known. He concluded by reminding the meeting that th?re was such a thing as an annual election of parish-officers, and that it would, therefore, rest with the pa tishioners whether the Vestry now in power should be enabled a second time to treat their requisition with contempt. The fir-t resolution was read from the chair, and unanimously adopted. Mr. HANsLIAW 'rad over the list of names of the peons who were to form the Committee. Mr. ADAMS rose to propose the second resolution on the sh,,rtening of the duration of Parliament. Members were elected to serve in Parliament, con sequently the grand question was to know well the character—the private and public charicter—of tho• e who professedly went to serve. For this reason they should come forward on the hustings, and challenge all questions that the electors—those whom they are going to serve—may put tc them. Ti e same method that was employed in the hiring of servants should be adopted in the choice of repro , presetutatives. Their masters and mistresses should be consulted about their previous character.—. - (Laughter.) As to the propriety of promptly dis missing representatives, he thought too much pre cipitation should not be adopted. But on this point there could not be much danger if the duration of Parliament was limited to three years, as the reso lution he held in his hand proposed. Respecting the matter of pledges, he was not of the opinion of Mr. Rogers, who seemed to think too highly of die disinterestedness and virtue of mankind. His ex perience did not allow him to entertain any such opi nion—if it did, he would not be very exact on the question of pledges. Then he would have no ob jection to see pledges put in the gross without enter; trig into the minutia'. But as the world was, he was decidedly of opinion that pledges should be required, and in the most binding form.—(Cheers.) The second resolution was then put and carried. Mr. DOUGLAS proposed the third resolution, to the purport " That all sinecures, unmerited pen 4ions, and unnecessary places, should be done away with." He was one of the individuals who, backed by a requisition very numerously signed, had waited upon the parish functionaries. Among those func tionaries was the parson; he being the best paid of them, and paid of course by the parish, ought to have shown a greater wish to consent to its desires. 'Twas quite the contrary, for he refused his sanction to the meeting, and would not allow it to take place in the Vestry-room. The resolution he held in his hand did not go far enough; 'twas too general; it should have alluded to the Batik Establishment, which was the chief source of pensions and sine cures. No sooner had it got its charter in 1688, than a standing army was the immediate conse quence. The invention was one of protection for its wholesale legitimate plundering of the people's pockets.—(Cheers.) No candidate should be elected unless that he proved that he understood the monetary system of this country, and was able and willing to effect a change in it. This was a grand point—'twas hitting the nail upon the head. —(Cheers.) He was far from being inclined to ,ob the fund-holders, but the boroughmengers, who had saddled the country with such a debt, ought a tO nc ila sa v i e losra s._ ddle ( d c o hee nt r h s 7 all the discharged soldiers The third resolution was carried unanimougly. Mr. SWATIVIAN proposed the fourth resolution, touching the total abolition of Tithes, Assessed Taxes, the Duties on imported corn, and on all ne cessaries and comforts of the labouring classes. Mr. CLARY begged the meeting to permit him to propose Mr. Lawless as seconder of this motion. Mr. LAWLESS (who was received enthusiasti cally) regretted that among the resolutions he did not see the vote by ballot mentioned. The house of Commons, 'twas true, did vote by secret scrutiny, but that was very proper ; voting as they did, viva voce, the country knew how they consulted the pub lic interest. With respect to the electors the matter was quite different ; ballot was the only pro tection for the voter who was not independent of the world. The people were ripe for the ballot — they were ripe even for universal suffrage. The fourth resolution was put and carried. Mr. SMITH proposed the filth Resolution, to the effect that stamps and all other taxes ot► knowledge should be abolished —Carried. Mr. SAVAGE (being loudly called for) proposed the sixth I-t-solution, stipulating a complete revision of the civil, criminal, municipal, parochial laws. The sixth Resolution was then put and carrtel Mr. POWELL rose to propose the seventh Reso lution, or test, to the effect, that every Member should be pledged to resign if he voted in opposi tion to the known wishes of the majority of his constituents; arid also when called upon so to do by a majority of his constituents in public meeting assembled. The most important of all principles was involved in this Resolution—the principle of •e( , irity.—The Resolution was carried amid hearty cheers. M. SIMPKINS moved the eighth Resolution— " That the Committee be further instructed to inquire into the particular intereqs and characters of candidates, so that the pledges may be redeemed as well as given." _ _ _ Mr. MURPHY seconded the Resolution. Any man who did not intend to play false would not re fuse pledges. Mr. Murphy concluded an eloquent speech, by warning electors to avoid all persons who had aristocratical connections. If they did not, the Pension List wou ld never b e reduced. Ladies of rank would seduce the best intentioned Members. He then alluded to the pension of 1,300/. granted by the Duke of Wellington to Mrs. Arbuthnot, for, he supposed, certain favours conferred. Well, ladies would always confer those favours, and their society should be avoided. The Resolution was adopted unanimously. This very animated and numerous Meeting ad journed, after voting thanks to the Chairman; three. cheers to Mr. Lawless; and the same number to Mr. Murphy. The Right Hon. WILLIAM NOEL HILL, the British Minister at the Court of the KING of the Two Sieilies, is the fifth representative of the present Govern ment at Foreign Courts recalled by Lord PALMERSTON, during the last three months. Mr. HILL, who is repl red .it Naples by Lord PONSONBV, br,.tl'er to the Coutite,i GRET, will he entitled to a pension of 2,000/. per anti.iia a. , a retired diplomatist, as well as Lord HEVTESEU RI - , Sir CIIARLE3 BAGOT, Mr, ALGEKNON PERC Y, sod Mr. CHn D. ter, rO , the"
