that we bring ourselves to say aught against so strenuous an advocate for freedom. But his Lordship should bear in mind that he sits in a British House of Commons not as 1. private friend of any individual however dis tinguished in rank, but in a public capacity as the representative of the first county in Eng land. It was in this spirit that we remarked o; his speech, " more in sorrow than, in anger, that thedescendant "of all the HowArtps"should even in appearance extenuate the conduct of an individual, whom, at the close of the debate. his sense of public duty induced him indirectly to renounce. In the House of Commons last night, Mr. STANLEY announced his intention of giving up the Irish Party Processions' Prevention Bill, as in consequence of the opposition with which it was threatened at every stage of its progress by many Hon. Members, it was next to impossible that it could be passed in sufficient time to be of any effectual service. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. O'CONNELL'S expression of satisfaction that the Bill was given up, observed that this was not the fact, that it was abandoned only for a season, and he hoped would be passed even before the end of the present Session. Mr. STANLEY afterwards announced that he should bring forward three Bills on the subject of Irish tithes before the dissolution of Parliament. The Right Hon. Gentleman then entered into a slight explana tion of the nature of these Bills ; for particulars of which we refer our readers to the debate. Our readers will find in our columns the spirited and patriotic address of Mr. TENNYSON to the electors of the metropolitan district of Lambeth. Such a document, under the pecu liar circumstances of the times and of the con stituency to whom it is directed, is highly valua ble. We are entering upon a new era of our history —the community in question is a vast and highly enlightened district of the metropolis --that community is now for the first time called upon to select representatives, and those repre sentatives, and others from similar circumstances, are to form the chief elements of a reformed legislature From that legislature, now for the first time to be composed of the real representa tives of the people, everything is expected. It is highly important that the representation of such bodies, should fall into the hands of tried public men ; but it is no less so that such men should, like Mr. TENNYSON, enter tain views of detailed Reform in the subor dinate institutions, laws, and public burdens, w hich are at once comprehensive, rational, an capabl e of execution, but at the same time con sistent with the maintenance of the areat ark of the Constitution. It is important also—and in this view it is that we highly approve of Mr. TENNYSON'S explicit and strong decla ration —that communities entertaining sanguine views as to the work to be done by a Re formed Parliament should know at any rate that the sentiments of those who seek to represent th em , r ea lly do harmonize with their own, that their principles and objects are the same, and that the party who will act for them, although animated by an enthusiastic anxiety to perfect the institutions of his country and promote the liberties and happiness of the people, has the experience and the wisdom necessary to preside over and moderate the effects by which these ends are to be accomplished. That Mr. TEN NYSON is a man thus qualified, we had no doubt ; but the address to which we have referred sin gularly proves it, for while he pledges himself with that energy and frankness which belong to him, to all the great objects of public anxiety, he evinces on the other hand a protecting care no less valuable, when the question regards a subject of such vast importance as the social In stitution s of a great people. To some, per haps, the Right Honourable Gentleman's de clarations may appear too bold ; but let it be remembered, how valuable it is, in times like the present, that such men should respond to public feeling, and that the guidance of that feeling and furtherance of its objects, should fall into such hands. Others may think that his anxiety to maintain and support the fabric of the Con stitution, may paralyze his views in-effecting the details ; but we, although no one will doubt our reforming principle, highly approve this qualifi cation of his sentiments, and would recommend to other candidates a course equally open and explicit, as that which Mr. TENNYSON has adopted —•a course uncompromising in every Person a l v i ew , prov i ng, as it does, the most per fect ind e p en d ence , an d freedom of action, while it give s security to all those who may look with a pprehension at the changes in progress. The following are extracts from the Dutch Papers : Bois-LE-DUC, JUNE 24,—The day before yesterday t l , e Prince Field-Marshal moved to Ti burg, with Generals Constant, Rebecque, Bendier, Trip, and other officers. Cargoes of gunpowder and military stores continue to he sent from Holland to these provinces. It is reported that his Majesty the King will visit the cao,p, at the beginning of July. THE HAGult, JUNE 24.—1 t is reported that in the Which the Prince Field-Marshal came expressly from Read -quarters, it deliberated on the contents of the 64th, 65 th, and 66th protocols. What is required of our Go vernment (which seems ready to accede as far as is con sistent with the most important interests of the country) is hot known, nor of course can the answer be known ; but it appears certain that, on our side, the opinion is still Maintained that the citadel of Antwerp, the possession of which is of such importance in these critical times even to the security of the country itself, cannot be evacuated till a satisfactory arrangement shall have been effected. BiWe learn from Dordrecht that eight transports are n g rea d y to sa il with ammunitio n an d other necessaries om the citadel of Antwerp.

However, the order that prevailed on the occasion, and the general spirit manifested differed much from that at Hambach, and showed that in Baden the people know how to make a proper use of liberty. Messrs. Rolleck and Welcker, belonging to the opposite party in the Baden Chamber of Deputies, and some other speakers bad sufficient opportunity in speaking on various toasts to manifest their disapprobation of the principle advocated at Ham bach. The Deputy Welcker, one of the members of the Frey- Sinniqe, declared, that though the nation bad rea son to be dissatisfied with the present state of affairs, and the mode of administration followed in some parts of Ger many; yet Germany neither desired nor needed a revolu tion, especially a project that engaged the freedom of the Press, could neither want nor desire a revolution.

Sia,—As in the exercise of your just privilege, you have commented with some severity upon a speech which I made in the House of Commons on Mr. Cutlar Fergus son's motion, perhaps you will not thick it unreasonable in me to request you to notice the fact, that in a subsequent part of the debate, with a wish to correct a misapprehension which I conceived to have arisen of the opinions enter tained and expressed by me, I stated that I had only ad verted in terms of praise, which I thought were just, to the conduct of the Emperor Nicholas during the first six months of his reign which had fallen under my personal observation, for the sake of showing that I laboured under no prepossession against him, when I addressed myself to his share in the recent history of Poland, which had can celled the favour'able estimate of his character that I bad been induced originally to form. I have no wish to repeat my speech, but I believe that my language upon this branch of the subject was not equivocal. Upon the manner of expressing yourself, I have perhaps not the same right to observe ; or I might have been tempted to remark that the words which you have thought fit to use about " retracting my notions before I next venture to propose myself for Yorkshire," are not founded upon any knowledge of my own modes of proceeding, nor of those, I shall almost venture to add, of my constituents. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your very obedient servant, June 30, 1932. MORPETH. LITERATURE. A KEY TO BOTH ROUSES OP PARMA MENT. Loxpox, mi.

Thursday being the anniversary of his MAJESTY'S pro clamation, the Royal Sailing Society gave a splendid silver cup and cover, to be sailed for on the Thames, for boats under 10 tons above bridge. Nine boats were entered, and started from Vauxhall-bridge. At half -past one o'clock, on the signal being made, the following yachts, the Fortitude, Haidje, illab, Oberon, Rowena, Secret, Venus, Vestris, and Waterwiteh, proceeded up the river to Wandsworth-meadows, and back to a vessel moored off Sir W. GORDON'S grounds, where their 11.1Argsms were present, and signified their approbation of the atrange merits. The Society's shallop, with the officers, together with Admirals Lord JAMES O'BRYEN, and Sir WILLIAM HOTIIAM, was stationed off the grounds. Royal salutes were fired on their MAJESTIES' arrival and departure, and during the presentation of the cop by the QUEEN. This is the first instance of a sailing match on the Thames taking place in the presence of their MAJESTIES. The cup and cover xere much admired ; the handles were formed of most equisitely wrought, and the cover surmounted by the Royal crest. The river was crowded with yachts and boats, and their MAJESTIES were most enthusiastically cheered. The weather proved highly favourable. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA drove and walked in Hyde Park yesterday for some time. The Russian Ambassador visited Earl GREY yesterday at the Tiersury. The LORD CHANCELLOR and Sir JAMES GRAHAM bad interviews r sterday with Viscount ALTHORP. The meeting of the three Choirs of Gloucester, Wor cester, and Hereford, will take place this year at Glou cester, under the direction of Mr. Amorr, who has suc ceeded the late :‘Jr. Mumow in conducting these per formances. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The answer to in quiries this morning was, that Sir WALTER had not pas , ed so comfortable a night. llp to half.past nine he appeared composed, and remained in about the same state as on the two preceding days. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Extract of a letter from London, dated June 21 :—" Sir WALTER SCOTT cannot live many days, nor would it he desirable that he should. His mind is entirely gone. He cannot sit up, and can scarcely articulate. 'Fhe Author of ' Waverley' cannot even write his name ! His two grandchildren (Mr. LocxriAßT's sons), were taken yesterday (last Wed nesday), to bid him an eternal adieu. He had sent them some toys from Holland, which they brought with them. The old passion f or verse returned on the Last Minstrel,' and he said tohis i n f ant grand-children— What In Holland Dut c h men m ake, Here in England boys do break.' —Scotsman. rOURT OF CHANCERY.--CITIS DAY, The Lon a, CHANCELLOR at to-day at ten o'clock, for the purpose of giving judgment in several cases he had heard, but had not previously disposed of. At a few minutes before eleven o'clock his Lordship left Lincoln's-Inn, to attend the Privy Council. HAVEL V. COLLIER. This was a motion to dissolve an injunction obtained exparte, to restrain the defendant from continuing to print t view of the City of London upon a ail handkerchief and other materials of a similar description. The question de pended upon the construction of the Act of Parliament for protecting property of this description. His LORDSHIP went at great length through the various 'tatutes affecting the subject. There seemed to be no rea s,n, in his opinion, for distinguishing this from the right of a party in any other literary property, though be was not aware that the question had ever before been raised s,•parately with respect to engravings upon silk. If there 'vas no common law property in a pi int, there would be no meaning in the statute. There could be no doubt that, by the construction of the statute,the inventor of a design printed upon silk or cloth was entitled to the protection both of this Court and of a Court of Law. The material used could not signify, the kind cf copy could not signify, nor could the use made of the thing produced he of any consequence. The statute of the Bth of George 11., was the foundation of proceedings upon subjects of this sort. It had been contended that the word " sheet" 4,r " sheets," relating to the forfeiture, showed paper to have been intended, and that other materials were to be excluded. If this was sound doctrine, at this moment there could be no copyright in any property whatever in England. No man could ever dream that the printing of a book, for instance, on silk, or cloth, or vellum, would not be just as much a piracy as if the , same had t een published on paper. Neither could any one contend that engravings on wood were net within the meaning of the Statutts. It bad been contended that if this were so it would be on the part of Court's favouring a monopoly. Lord Hardwick had denied that it could be called favour ing a monopoly, and said that !hese Acts were to receive a liberal and not strict constructien. This was also the uni form opinion of both sides of Westminster Hall. Under these circumstances the Court was bound to refuse ti. motion with costs. DUNN V. O'AMEARA. In this case an application was mi)de to discharge an order made by the Court below. His Lordship was of opinion, that the order could not be discharged. The only question was, whether, upon the appeal motion, he could give the costs, it having been admitted that it was neces sary to vary the i , rder in a degree. It was clear that if the Counsel of the party in whose favour the order was varied, had been present in the Court below when judg ment was pronounced, he would have mentioned the oils take the Court fell into as regarded a sum of 29!. that that mistake would have been immediately corrected, and that no alteration of the order would, therefore, have been necessary, and in this way of viewing it, his Lordship could not but refuse the motion with costs. KELLOCK V. GREIG. In tl.is case his LORDSHIP affirmed, with costs, the da cree made by the Master of the Rolls, dismissing the bil with costs. PURSELL V. M'NAMARA. The LORD CHANCELLOR refused this motion, but with out costs. EXPARTE AARON. The question here was, whether this matter should be restored to the paper ; and, under the circumstances attend ing it, his Loansntp was of opinion that it ought to be restored, each party paving their own costs of the applica tion to have it restored. Nothing of any public importance took place in any of the other Courts of Law, up to the period when our re porter left. PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) HIND 0 0 WIDOWS. The Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council sat to-day, at the Council-chamber, Whitehall, for the purpose of hearing the further arguments in the appeal brought by his Ma jesty's Hindoo subjects against an order made by Lord William Bentinck, the Governor-General of Bengal, de claring it to be illegal for Hindoo widows to sacrifice them selves on the death of their husbands, and calling upon all Officers not to permit such cruelty. The Lords present were—the Lord President, the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice Chancellor, Lord John Russell, the Marquess of Welles'ey, Sir James Graham, the Right Honourable Charles Grant, and Sir Edward East. Mr. DRINKWATER concluded hlB arguments on behalf of the appellant., following Dr. Lushington. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL appeared for the East India Company, contending that the Government of Bengal had the power to issue the order in question under Acts of Parliament and upon principle. The Learned Gentleman was addressing their Lordships when our reporter left. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S, SHIELDS, JUNE 28.—Arrived the Carron, Potter, from Trieste.

We are again without any arrivals of consequence this morning, with the exception of the Dutch Mail, which brings the Dutch Funds it percent. higher. Great anxiety is expressed fur the arrival of the Ham burg steamer, which has been now due for several days. We do not, as yet, hear of any accounts from Don Pedro's expedition, at which great surprise is manifested by the merchants. The Funds are in a stagnant state to the present time. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 85 to 1, for the Account. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we do not hear of any express in the City from Paris. The private information by the Dutch mail this morning from Hol and, received by more than one merchant, is of high importance in regard to the long-pending settlement of the affairs between that country and Belgium. If Antwerp should be given up !o England, and Venloo to the Prus.ians, and at the same time the Powers guarantee the dividend of the eight millions due to the Dutch, with the navigation of the rivers, the procrastinated negociations will soon terminate; but the question is, how will France approve of Antwerp being in the po ,, session of England, and Venloo in the the hands of Prussia. Consols have been the whole of the morning at 85 to for the account, with little or nothing doing. Dutch Stock 43 to ;in other Foreign Securities nothing doing. TWO 0' CL 0 CK.

CoN., DUBLIN.--At the Court of King's Bench, on Wednesday last, a trial came on for crim. con., in which the plaintiff was a Mr. STONE, a Lieutenant in the navy on half• pay, and the defendant the Rev. W. FREELAND, a Minister of a Christian church. The plaintiff's wife was daughter of General HAWICSHAW, and was married to the plaintiff at Islington in 1823, at the age of 18 ; the plaintiff himself was then about 32. The Jury, after a protracted trial, found a verdict for the defendant, with 6d. costs. BANK COMMITTEE. (From the Times.) THURSDAY EVENING.-Every one with the least consi deration must perceive that any premature and hasty deei .ion of the Bank question, can lead to no other result than that of perpetuating the existing order of things. Grea as are - the evils of the present system, and great as may bt the changes required, yet no one with the least prudence can demand that tiny step whatever should he taken upon so important a question, without inquiry the most ample and consideration the molt mature ; and that, consequently, if the matter must be decided at once, it can only be by a further prolongation of the Bank monopoly. This, which must he obvious to all, is particularly so to those by whom ibis last-mentioned consummation is most devoutly wished, namely, the Bank of England and the private hankers.— Between these two parties, at the commencement of the proceedings, there existed a deadly feud. The encroach ments of the 13 ink. both in the country and in London, upon the business of private hankers, had generated a hos tility against. on the part of the latter, of no common rancour; and it is not to be denied that the public hwe considerably benefited by this division in the enemies' c imp : for it must he admitted that we are considerably in debted to the exertions of the private bankers themselves, for that enlargement and prolongation of the inquiry which is likely to take place. A common danger, how ever, has had the not uncommon effect of reconciling these feuds. The private bankers have seen their error, have made common cause with the Bank of England, and have j dried heart and hand with that establishment in the very intelligible endeavour to bring the proceedings of the Com mittee to a close, in whet we are sorry to remark they are powerfully supported by their friends on the Com mittee. The plea is, the danger likely to result from the agitation of the question, —a mere bugbear, for which there is not the shadow of a pretence. In a period of generrl distrust and discredit of b inks, this might have been urged with more reason. But if there ever was one time better adapted than another for the prosecution and puilongation of this inquiry, with a view, not to an early, but to an ultimate settlement of the question, the present is that time,—a fact in which all persons agree, and about which there cannot he a dispute. The public will, therefore, not be a little surprised to understand, that the Bank is endea vouring to get up a petition in the city in favour of a speedy settlement of the question. That they may succeed in this, we do not dispute, and that similar petitions may, by the same kind of influence, he got up from other parts of the country, we equally believe. There are always a class of needy persons (and the apparent distinction and consequence of the parties is by no means a proof that they do not belong to this cites), who can refuse a Bank no thing. But we are quite as.ured that no house that felt itself at liberty to refuse, would be made a tool of for any such purpose; and we firmly believe, that if petitions of this kind are got up, they will be so completely seen through, that they will totally fail in their object, and bring nothing but contempt upon all who may be con cerned in them. It is quite absurd to suppose that the inquiry can be stopped by any such manoeuvring. If this Committee in this Parliament were to attempt to close it, the next Par• liament would undo all that this had done. The present Committee can only open out the inquiry,—it has not the power to do more than this with justice to the subject; and any step that it may take not purely prelitni nary, will be entitled to no respect, and will receive none. FRIDAY EVENING.—Tbere is something so repugnant to the national feeling in the idea of settling a great ques tion, or any part of it, by a secret conclave, that we should be afraid the cause of truth itself would suffer, if pre sented to our view through so unpalatable a medium, and we are not sorry to find the conviction pretty general, not only that the present Secret Committee on Bank affairs will not be able to to do more than report the evidence, but that they ought not to do more. Of the propriety of this conviction we shall be the more convinced if we do but take a glance at the Committee itself. The subject is universally admitted to be extremely difficult, and though it has been long under consideration, no one is prominently put foaward as possessing any authority in relation to it. Those Members of Parliament, in particular, who have given great attention to it, have only left it in greater obscurity than before. They can reason with much plausibility respecting the errors of their opponents, but when they come to their own conclusions, they are found still more impotent and impracticable than those they have impugned. Of those who are thus understood to have distinguished themselves on the present Commit. tee, we may mention, 1. Mr. Attwood, whose panacea for all the evils of the State, both moral and physical, is a depreciation of the standard,.—that is, reducing the weight of the sovereign, and paying a debt of 20s. with 108., or 15s. ; 2. Sir James Graham, who is a degree less decidedly wrong on the same point; 3. Mr. Baring, who has alternately supported and impugned every given principle and measure, but whose grand specific is the adoption of the silver standard ; 4. Sir Robert Peel, whose measures have been sufficiently unfortunate to ruin any proposition with which his name is connected ; and 5. Sir Henry Parnell, whose remedy is a perfect freedom of trade in banking and currency, which has at all events the merit of simplicity, though it leaves us much in the dark as to the mode of its working in future. Now, if the question] is to be decided by knowledge and authority, these are the Members of the Committee to be presumed most competent to settle it. But should the public be so perverse as to conclude that they are quite as likely to embarrass the question as to settle it by their crotchets, we must look further, and ask if any im partial adjustment of it is likely to proceed from any of the following gentlemen :—Sir Matthew White Ridley, Sir John Wrottesley, Mr. Robarts, Mr. Heywood, Mr. John Smith, Mr. Vernon Smith, bankers ; Mr. Alderman Thompson, Bank director ; or Mr. Irving, partivr of a Bank director ? To which phalanx may we not add Mr. Goulburn, and Mr. Herries, as gentleman most willing to keep "the poor abuses of the times in countenance?" Now should the public, as is most probable, place no confidence whatever in any of the above parties for the settlement of this extensive, complicated, and all important question, to whom amongst the following are they to look for that command of it which will enable them not only to free the subject from its own obscurity, but from the additional complexity in which the Borings and the Attwoods of the Committee, on the one hand, and the interested junta above-mentioned, on the other, are certain to involve it; viz. Lord Althorp, Sir J. Newport, Colonel Moberly, Mr. Peregrine Courtenay, Mr. George Philips, Mr. Poulett Thomson, Mr. Alder man Wood, Lord John Ruud!, Mr. Warburton, Mr. Morrison, Lord Cavendish, Lord Ebrington, Mr. Lawley, Lord Morp,th, Mr. Strutt, Mr. Bonham Carter, or Mr. Stanley, M.P. for Hindon ? Assuredly there are amongst these, men of great good sense, and great integrity, and some of them more than average abilities, but there are none who, in the public estimation, have any pretensions to the commanding talent in question. It is imp9ssinle, therefore, that, from the judgment of a Committee thus conipos-d, and also act ing in secret, the hasty settlement of this difficult and all important question can be tolerated. The honest and well-meaning Members of the Committee, who form the great majority of those last-mentioned, cannot fail to per ceive this, and we may trust to their good sense and inte grity as the best safeguard in the present emergency. They will perceive the fully of coining to any determina tion on the subject with a Committee thus formed ; and having no sinister object to gain, will resist any measures whatever proposed by those who have. At Chices'er 500, and at Lewes 300 persons, were last week regaled with plentiful dinners of roiot beef and plum pudding, in honour of passing of the Reform Bill; in addition to which, at the former place, buns were given to the children. A surgeon at Vienna has lately made use of elastic band, of small size in articulating skeletons, instead of the ligaments now gener.lly used. This allow! a more accurate study of the mechanism of the parts in their luxutions. Mr. ARNOLD'S forthcoming " Dramatic Stories" are expected with no small impatience on the part of the theatrical world, for, we understand, they are likely to furnish more subjects for dramatic representations than have ever been obtained from any one publication. A JURYMAN FINED FOR INTOXICATION. —Yesterday evening an Inquest was held at St. Bartholo mew's hospital on the body of WILLIAM MAWLEY, a child of five years of age. One of the Jury, named M`GLI/ooL, soon became very turbulent, which, it was perceived, arose from intoxication. The COLON ER—You are drunk, Sir. Juryman—l know it. CORONER—Then I shall fine you 20s. for contempt of Court. Juryman— Then you won't get it; I'll he cursed it I ply it. Collo- NER—Then you are in the custody of the beadle.

" This man appears to have served only two years and eight months in the navy, when he met with an accident in stowing the booms on board his Ma jesty's ship Atalanta, which rendered amputation of the left leg necessary. He was invalided on a pension of 101., and, on the Ist of February, 1800, received as in-pensioner of Greenwich Hospital, where he continued four years, and was then dis charged to the out-pension. From his own account, it appears that he at this time went out to Halifax, where he was received into the King's service, and obtained a cook's warrant, which he soon afterwards lost for misconduct; and in 1810 he was again ad mitted to Greenwich Hospital. His conduct at this time was so bad, that after repeated trials and petty punishments, he was expelled on the 11th of May, 1811, for disorderly and disgraceful behaviour; but he shortly after succeeded in getting restored to his out•pension, and once more obtained a cook', warrant, which he afterwards forfeited, by striking an officer in one of the dock-yards. " After repeated petitions he was on the 30th of August, 1817, admitted for the third time int& Greenwich Hospital, and appears to have been more quiet ; for, without tracing him on the Minutes of Council, he was discharged, at his own request, to the out-pension, on the 18th of June, 1819. " On the 7rh of July, 1820, he was admittad as in-pensioner, for the fourth time, and on the 4th of May following suspended for one year, in come. quence of riotous and disgraceful conduct ; and, at the expiration of that period, he failed to return, and was made " run," by which his out-pension became forfeited. " He again petitioned, and again succeeded in obtaining his out-pension ; and on the 5 . h of June, 1830, was re-admitted, for the fifth time, into Greenwich Hospital—a degree of indulgence and forbearance almost unpredented, after the flagrant misconduct which stands recorded against him. " His violent propensities were not, however, yet conquered, and after several repetitions of riotous con duct, he was finally expelled, on the 16th of Decent. ber last, for creating a disturbance in his ward, ad vising the ward-keeper to disobey the orders, and for using violent and improper language. " He was born at Kilgarrow, near Cork, and ap pears by the register to be now 56 years of age." BOROUGH OF LAMBETH.—The electors of Lambeth are determined to support Mr. TENNYSON, who has signified his intention of coming forward as a candi- date at the ensuing election. Lord ALTIIOItP, who has also been mentioned as one of the candidates, has declined the honour, and has promised to support Mr. TENNYSON. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 28.--The Right Hon. T. S. RICE, woo has been recommended as a representative for Cambridge on the motion of Professor SMYTHE, ad dressed the Electors of that borough on Thursday last. The plan of a grand National Column, sug gested to be erected in the metropolis by public subscrip .ion, in commemoration of passing the Reform Bill, and presented to the Court of Common Council by Mr. Death, has, we understand, been submitted to and approved of by the Lord Mayor and many of the leading bankers, mer chants, and traders in the City. In a few days a public meeting will be called, by advertisement, for the purpose of taking into consideration the necessary measures fur carrying the same into effect. `Oll/(Ll'Ck`l2.t, - , -• I - I, , r,\ ,•''''' __ 7 : c \g ▪ J ",'' ( /*--/ ' DANGEROUS NA v( .6Atfpitkv,s,cs-04feji/M.

On Friday, the 22d current, puritan,. to ine timation made by tuck of drum, through the burgh of Forres, a most numerous and vtry respectebk assemblage of the inhabitants took place in thli Court Hall, (which was crowded to excess) for the put pose of considering what would be the most pro per course to pursue, in electing a Representative to serve in Parliament for this cla-s or district of burghs, and to secure the return of a stanch and true Reformer and advocate of fiberty and freedom, GEORGE Ross, Esq., was unanimously called to the chair. The business of the meeting wa.; opened by JAMES BELL, Esq., surgeon, in an extreirely neat and judicious speech, which fully explained to the meeting the cause for which they lid met, and shortly, though explicitly, pointed out the absolute necessity of choosing a true Reformer as a Repre sentative; and concluded by moving, as a resolution, "That a Committee of those persons entitl-d io vote within this burgh, at the election of a R pre sentative for this class of burghs, should immediately correspond and concert with the Committees already, or likely to be soon named in the sister burghs, for the purpose of returning a true and stanch Re former, and none other, to represent them in Parlia ment;" and also added—" That iu the event of no other candidate appearing than those two already named, (Major Cumming, and Colonel Bailie , both, at least the former, anti-Reformers) advertisements should be inserted in the different new papers, call ing upon some one to come forward who had nobly and manfully braved the storm of anti-Reform rage and base burgh corruption, and who had nob!) , and justly supported the glorious cause of Reform throughout every stage." The resolution was received with tremendous ap plause, and ably seconded by the Rev. Thomas Stark, in a neat and eloquent speech—a4bereafter the resolution was carried by acclamation.' A political agent (a gendeman who was about ten years ago a stanch Reformer, hut wlio, since then, cameleon like, has changed his poloical princi ples from right to wrung) also ailitrvs•-d the meet ing, iQ name and behalf of Nltij , r Commitig, who had been canvassing in the town some few da}s be fore, but fortunately with little success, whose true attachment to the glorious cause of Reform was by nim strongly advocated, and ,vhai atteirpted, at the .• same time, to convince the R.eformers of ForreF, that Major Cumming's prineiple, were rinly libe ral; that he had not been opposed to Itefiam, and that he did not deserve the appeliation " anti-Re lot mer." All this spout of oratory was spent quite usele•sly, and completely lost upon the me. ting, who manfully received the conclusion of the Advocait's speech with groans and hisses. A brother of Escu!spins al.n beiliouzlit himself to be eloquent on the occasion, but had not been many seconds on his legs, (very short indeed, by the by) supported the print pies of the n t ior, Nhen loud cries of "Down, down," mingled with groans and hisses, were heard Viroughout the 1-1 11. These symptoms of dis.a it.factiun woo pu! a finale o Mr. E cuiapius and his orat:oii, and he was com pelled to sit down. Mr. DUNBAR (writer) also delivered ha st.-nti ments on the occasion. lint speech was received throughout with great applause ; and he concluded ny mentioning to the gentlemen pees,-n., a circum 'tance expressive of Major Clut.mivg's Ref- rm principles, ;n that he (Major Cumming) d d, in ad dressing the House of Commons for the first time, boldly and barefacedly hold forth, a., a ma.ter wor he of the consideration of the Honottrable House, that " He had now cone nearly 600 nid,, to give his utmost opposition to the Reform Bill!" Several other excellent speeche, were delivered on the occasion by Messrs. Barron and Ross, and by several others. The meeting then separated, highly satis6ed with what they had heard. An inn has just been established on the top of Mount Fauthoin, in Sw;rz rlinfi, at an elev mina of 3,140 feet above the sea ; and, conynently, between 500 and 600 feet higher than the convent on the Great St. Bernard. A Portuguese of the name of ORIOLA, who is married to a Prussian lady, and resides in Prussia. is 4upposed to exercise a very utitavourahle influence on the mind of the Prussian Minister, with regird t the affa.rs of Portugal. He is a violent ultra athi g reat intriguer, and is attempting to prevail, throuJi Prussia, on the Austrian and Russian Government to interest themselves in favour of DoN 111teuet, , and to urge his recognition on the English Government. FRONf A CORRESPONDENT.—On Monday afternoon, as a lady was walking with her brothers and heir children on Hampstead-licath, a cow ran at ne of the children, about two years of age, and was about to toss it, when the lady caught it in her arms and attempted to escape, but, being rendered powerless by fright, she Jelly with the child under her. The cow was w ilhin a few yards, and was about to gore her, when her broth r, who vas a short distance in advance, turned mood, set ing her situation, ran towards her, and drive the animal iway. To permit so vicious a cow to be pastor. d,n a place of such public resort as Hami.stea.i.f e , k ,h „,j aers legree of negligence in the highest degree and we zrustthe danger to which the lydy and ehild were expo , ed will operate as a sufficient caution to prevent a neurret ee of it.
