PALACE COURT (THIS DAY)• GLTHRIE V. DE MONTJOIS. This was an action brought by Mrs. Janet Guthrie to recover of the defendant, Madame Augier de Montjoie two weeks lodgings at two guineas and a half per week. Messrs. Ross and BELDAM appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. CAPRON and BAZETT for the defendant. From the evidence of the plaintiff's servant it appeared that shortly before Easter Monday last the defendant caned to look at lodgings in the plaintiff's house, No. 31, Tunbridge-place, New-road. On Easter Monday she called again, accompanied by a male friend, and agreed to take the two parlours and two bed-rooms at two guineas and a half per week from that day, stating that she would come in the following Friday, and desiring the plaintiff to get a dinner prepared for her on that day, and in the meantime to arrange the furniture, and to make room for a pianoforte, which she said she would send in. She then went away. The rooms were put in order, an extra servant engaged, and the dinner prepared on the Friday, but Madame came not, and had never since been to take possession. The plaintiff, having been put to trouble and expense, had accordingly sued the defendant for two weeks' rent. It was submitted by the defendant's Counsel, upon the authority of cases cited, that the plaintiff must be non suited. This was an action for the use and occupation of certain lodgings, and it was proved that the defendant never did use or occupy them ; indeed, that she had never taken possession of them. On the part of the plaintiff it was contended, that there was no necessity to prove an actual taking and enjoy ment. If there was a contract to take, and if the de fend int was not prevented from using and enjoying the place by any act of the plaintiff, that was such a constructive possession, particularly when added to the orders given about the furniture on the Monday, as at least would jus tify the case going to the Jury. The Learned Judge (W. B. PRENT, Esq.,) was of opi nion that there was no possession, and no use or enjoy ment, consequently the plaintiff could not recover in this form of action. The plaintiff was then nonsuited. THE ARMY. (From tb Limerick Chronicle of August 1.1) The Commander of the Forces, Sir Hussey Vivian, ar rived at Buttevant this day. The 6lat reserve companies, under command of Major Annesley, have arrived at Spike Island, from Derry. A company of the 521 reserve, from Trale,, attended a tithe sale at Kilgobbin this week, for arrears due to the Rev. Edward Day, under the Composition Act. The cattle were sold, without any opposition or disturbance, before a great crowd of people. The inhabitants of Naas have presented to Surgeon Young, 50th Regiment, a splendid gold watch, with an appropriate inscription, for his humane and disinterested conduct while cholera raged in that town. The remainder of the Marine Artillery, consisting of 90 officers and men, with four field guns and a rocket equip ment, have been dispatched in the Tyne to the squadron under Sir Pulteney Malcolm at Cork The light vessels of this squadron are constantly cruising along the coast. Captain Gunning's company of the 52d marches this day from head-quarters, Waterford, for New Ross, to re lieve C ptain Lord Charles Russell's company, which re turns to head- quarters. The entire of the 14th Regiment are now stationed in Cot k. HOUSE OF COMMONS' LIBRARY.-This library consists of only 4,150 volumes, and is very imper fect, having no collection of cases heard by the Lords or Privy Council—even no complete series of private Acts of Parliament, or of the Papers printed by the House's or ders. The contents of some of the presses are not known ; one of them contains a green hag, which again encloses " a Post-office bag of unopened letters of the year 1690." What lots of Jacobitism and antiquated scandal may not be lurking in this ! There are generally from 60 to SO Members per day consulting the library. Strangers are let in by an order from the Speaker. A letter from Milan, dated the 2d instant, say , , " The Austrian Government has become so mis trustful of the population of the Lombardo-Venetian States, that, not satisfied with prohibiting the use of fire arms under the severest penalties, it has published a de cree whereby all persons who are not agriculturists are folliAden to carry any scythes, reaping hooks, hedging bills, and other farming instruments capable of inflicting wounds; and all other citizens or artisans are itrerdicted from carrying any such or similar instruments or tools on Sundays or holydays, and from appearing with them at any time in the public-houses or other places frequented by the people ; and on the other days of the week, when going to or returning from their work, all such instru ments and tools are to be covered up. All persons offending against any of the above regulations are to be subject to a summary punishment of from one to eight days' imprisonment on being convicted Lefore a Police Alagi•trate." The Mkorictl Bora'elais has the following let ter from Irun, frontiers of Spain The Government has sent off express orders for the immediate recal to Madrid of the Infant Don Francisco de Pilule and ail his family, who are at toe baths of Puerto Santa Maria, in Andalu sia. It is thought that this sudden and unexpected order was occasioned by reports transmitted by the authorities of Cadiz and Castile, which intimate fears lest the liberals should avail thems,lves of the Prince's stay in that coun try, to effect a Revolution, by placing the Infant, who is the King's youn,;est brother, at the head of the insur rection." BRISTOL.— We have gloomy accounts of this once prosper , us city. A friend of ours passed through it on Saturday last, and states that in one house behind the ion in which he slept nine persons were lying dead from the pestilence. A must erroneous report too had got abroad that the surgeons had admtnistred strong doses of brandy and laudanum, and hutried their patients to the grave before life was extinct, the infatuated populace met the coffins, tore their inmates from their shells, and ex posed them in a most indecent manner, in consequence of which the fatal disease propagated in various parts of the city, and several of the ringleaders fell victims to their barbarity, by having impregnated the infection. Corn coerce had retired, and the population were retreating, all in fact looked dismal and deserted. The Corporation, although it cannot of course be blamed for the pestilence, is considered the main cause of the divisions, hatreds, and disputes in this sinking city.—Sherborne Journal. From the 25th of March, 1823, to the same day of the present year, 13,586 Irish poor have been passed by sea from Bristol, at an expense of 5,4721. ls.— The number in 1823 was 999 ; in 1827, 1,643 ; in 1830, 2,105 ; and in 1831, 3,548, —exhibiting a very considerable increasing ratio. The whole of these are supposed to have been brought from London. " LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSNIITHS."—A grave-digger, named ROFFEY, who lodges in a second floor in Queen-square-place, Westminster, yesterday caught his wife drinking with a soldier at a neighbouring public house. He parted I.er from her gallant, and having dragged her home, locked her up. She tried at first to force the door, but in vain. Resolved not to he foiled, she threw tip the window, and jumped into the street. a height of 24 feet. She sustained several severe injuries, and was carried to Mr. ORD'S, a surgeon, in Queen square. She now lies i❑ a very dangerous condition. The funerals at the parish burying-ground of Walcot (population from 26,000 to 30,000) was, in July, 1831, 36 ; and in July, 1832, only 22 ! a decrease of 14. ; and the grave-digger actually has lately been complaining to several persons of the badness of his trade !—Bath Chronicle. POLISH HERIOSM.—At the storming of Warsaw, the principal battery was defended by only two battalions, but with such bravery as history can hardly parallel. When it was evident thlt it could no longer hold out, several privates of the artillery seated themselves on powder barrels, and blew themselves up. But the conduct of General Sowistsict was truly heroic. Having lost one foot, be was, at his earnest request, seated on a chair, and placed on the altar of the despt.rately•defended church, where he contined to give orders until the last of his comrades was cut down, when drawing forth two pis tols, he, with one, shot a Russian who was rushing upon him, and with the exclamation —" So dies a Polish gene ral," fired the other through his own heart.—Atheneum. How TO ESTABLISH A - NAME.—Dr. PouTAL, who died lately in Paris, was in high repute as a physician. It was really amusing to hear him relate to his pupils the manner in which he began business. Knowing that in a great capital, like Paris, quackery answers well I.uugh for thme without talents, the Doctor determined for once to make it serve the impose of merit. To this end he ordered his man, the only one that he kept, to knock daily at all ifftelbotein in She city, and inquire for Doctor Posac.7l:lo , ei,cootse \ knenr any thing of Doctor Pogr but by equect,;.,rep tition of the name, and stunne "the - molar o the knockTrs people began to suspect he ;WAS-MOO abWmaiiiiihisiiiie, and for once the . , conjecture isciNnt. - , i:; .

JOSEPH ADAMS, Agent, Leith and Glasgow Wharf. or' 1:T 7 Tbe -k* iz4ittt. - , e.g. or LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 17, 1832. Yesterday closed a Session the most important in the annals of Parliament, and the most remark able for the constitutional and legitimate energy displayed by the Commons in defence of their now undoubted privilege, that of reforming their own body. England formerly had her Long Parliament—remarkable also for great events — events, however, brought about by treachery or hypocrisy, by force of arms, and by the mutual slaughter of vast numbers of the contending parties. The United Kingdom has now its Long Session, (for, in fact, it has been almost a continued Session since October, 1830,) and that Session has been equally productive of great events, brought about, not by mutual slaughter, or the annihilation of either of the three great estates of the Realm, but by the force of reason, and by the moral energies of a great and en lightened people, guided and encouraged by an intelligent and unwearied Press. if there ever was one event of which Britons had rea so❑ to be more proud than another, it is the result of the struggle which has now been going on for nearly two years ; and the people, the electors, the representative body, and nearly the half of the Peers of the country, have equally shared in the glory. Reform was no sooner de creed by the general voice than a commotion arose which but for the firmness and spirit of the House of Commons, backed by the people, would have ended in the extinction of the best liberties of England. Had the Commons given way, or had the people been less decided, the Anti-Reform party would have prevailed, and then there would have been a string of Acts compared with which the Six Acts of CASTLE REAGH are but as a drop in the bucket. No more political unions, no more Reform meet ings, no more meetings to petition the legisla ture, under a Government who would have ruled by military force, and left England but a vestige of her liberty. The famous saying of WELLINGTON, that " if the people will not be quiet we know how to make them," shows what sort of quiet England would have enjoyed under him ; and the violent denuncia tions of the Conservatives against the men of Birmingham—against tumultuary petitions — against even the most legitimate modes of effecting Reform,—but above all against tz.e " base and revolutionary Press," may give some idea of the trammels and chains which they were preparing for the suppression of every liberal opinion. We should then have had the Downing-street protocol as a twin brother to the protocol of Frankfort, and have been in alliance with the oppressor of Poland, the oppressors of Germany, and that model of humanity and un sullied faith Don AlIGuEr. of Portugal. But it is needless to dwell on scenes from which the mind revolts, and which have been happily averted by the free spirit of our brave country men. We have now, thank GoD ! gained the victory—let us use it with moderation, but at the same time remembe inz that the enemy is still on the watch, and that it is the duty of every friend of liberty and good order to be on his guard, and persevere in his exertions till Reform in Parliament, and Reform in the Church, Law, and State, are fully consolidated. It will be seen by a paragraph from the Lei cester Herald, in another column, that COOKE, the murderer, is not to be gibbetted in chains. This part of the sentence, it seems, has been remitted. And wisely, we think. For surely after justice has had her clues on the living murderer, it is madness, or something worse, to wreak ignominy on the senseless corpse—to carry vengeance beyond the grave. As a warning to deter others from crime, such an exhibition operates only as a sort of drag-chain on hutna nity, deadening all the finer impulses of the soul. For instance, in a provincial Journal we find the following paragraph Since the body of JOBLING was suspended from the gibbet, immense crowds of spectators of all ranks have visited the Slake to view the spectacle." Now we will venture to say, and any one who knows aught of human nature will agree with us in opinion, that nine of ten of those who went to view the above revolting exhi bition, went only from motives of curiosity; in fact, for precisely the same reason that they would go to witness the tricks of a morris dancer or a mountebank. They would not be horror-struck—crowds are never awake to lively emotions of awe—and so be deterred from crime through the influence of their sensibilities ; they would be simply sur prised,—simply smitten with astonishment at the novelty of the spectacle before them ; and when once their curiosity was satisfied, they would withdraw to carry on the routine business of life with all their wonted indifference. In old times when the intellectual sense was somewhat dull and feeble in the great mass of the English commonalty, the exhibition of the gibbet, the skeleton, and the chains was not without its ex cuse ; but in this boasted age of intellect and civilisation, which is so sensitive in its huma nity as to revolt at the punishment of death for all offences short of rape or murder, the spec tacle of a ghastly corpse, bleached by the wind, and swinging to and fro, as if in very mockery of life, with every breeze that whistles pat it, is an outrage on the moral sense of the country, far greater than that implied by capital punishment for forgery. Reason revolts from the one ; but the very imagination, nay the first instinct of nature herself, shudders and shrinks aghast from the other. We deprecate all ideas of retribution beyond the grave. Let the dead rest in peace. This is the law of na ture, and applies even to the murderer. The horror and disgust provoked by the recollection of such a wretch will be quite sufficient to deter others from like crimes ; but if not, sure are we, that the exhibition of his blue, fes tering, swollen corpse, mangled by the kite and the raven, or dropping in loathsome masses to earth, will not strengthen the salutary impression. We are, however, strongly in hopes that this revolting innovation on our criminal law will in future be wholly dispensed with, The Belgian question is still in the same un settled state that it was a fortnight ago ; but a s King LEOPOLD has consented to allow M. VAN DE WEYER to come to London on the subject, the Conference express confident hope of ar rangement. M. VAN DE WEYER is consi dered to be an advocate for concessions to the King of HOLLAND, and it is thought that he will approve of the treaty as it now is.— We can state most positively, that M. VAN DE WEYER objects to the articles respecting the navigation of the Scheldt and the canals of Hol land, by which the Belgians are deprived of the rights guaranteed to them by the Conference, but on other points he is disposed to accom modation. He has been instructed by King LEOPOLD to urge upon the Conference the ne• cessity of a modification on these points ; and until he arrives, General GOBLET and Baron STOCKMAN, the confidential friends of LEO POLD, will in their interview with Lord PAL.. MERSTON continue to remonstrate against these articles. We have heard some mysterious hints about a plot for a rebellion in Ireland, with important ramifications in London and in the manufac turing districts. We should not notice this matter if we had not reason to believe that it has been, or will be, rather pompously an nounced to the Government. That there are disaffected persons who would like to see a rebellion in Ireland, is very probable ; but that any plot has been framed, except in the heads of some zealous officials, who are anxious to appear big before their superiors, we do not believe ; but it is right to put the Government upon its guard against the pretended revelations which are got up, from time to time, in every country, in order to show that the police are not idle. German Papers state that great sensation has been excited in Berlin by the decided tone of remonstrance which two of the French Minis terial Journals have adopted with regard to the German Edicts : CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.-After Ibrahim Pacha had left Acre he thought of immediately prosecuting his operations, before Ilussein Pacha, with the Ottoman army, could oppose him. Accordingly, o❑ the 13th of June, be attacked, with 20,000 regular troops, and Druses from Lebanon, the open city of Damascus, whose inhabitants, not being prepared for defence, surrendered after some skirmishes. Alt Pacha, the Turkish Governor, fled with his people to Hans, to the camp of Mehemet Pacha. While the Egyptians on the one band are advancing to Syria, as no considerable force yet opposes them, Hussein Pacha, on the other hand, is drawing nearer and nearer to the scene of action. Twenty thousand of his troops had already arrived at Antiochia, and he himself with the main army was daily expected. The Porte is, therefore, looking for news of his first encounter with Ibrahim Pacha. The accounts from Bosnia continue to he favourable. The Porte has now received the report of the taking of Travnick. The total and speedy termination of the trou bles in Bosnia must be the more welcome to the Porte, as it will be ab!e to employ part of the army now in that province in operation against Mehemet Ali.—Austrian Observer. ReUff • BERLIN, Aua. 2.—Great sensation has been excited here by two newspaper articles, one in the Journal des Debats, in which that half official paper, whi c h a f e w days ago treated the resolutions of the German Diet with indifference, speaks very decidedly against the occupation of tie Constitutional States by Prussian and Austrian troops, awl in such a case threatens us with a formal protest, nay, even with a declaration of war. The other, in the Allgenzeine Zeitung, which contradicts the illoniteur, and repeats the assurance that France had given the most positive declaration that it would not interfere in the resolutions of the Diet. Now it is known that these articles (in the Allgerneine Zeitung) marked with a double cross are by a statesman high in office, who must certainly know what is true or false. It is therefore conjectured that something must have occurred, and that the French Cabinet, which did not foresee the deep impression that these resolutions would make in France and England, is now induced, contrary to its will arid to its promises, to use energetic language. In the war department the most unremitting activity pre vails; the plans for calling the troops into action are already signed by the King, and, if necessary, the whole of the Prussian army may be ready for action in a few weeks. Letters from Silesia say that the .sth corps of the army is ordered to the Rhine ; some persons here even affirm that it is already on its march. NUREMBURG, Auc. B.—The corps of troops lately sent to the Rhine, with the exception of the .itta Regiment of light horse, is recalled, and began its march on the 10th, to leave that province. The 2d Regiment of light horse, the 14th of infantry, and the two light companies of the 2d regiments of artillery, return to their old quarters; the other regiments will be in garrison at Dettingen, Bam burg, Nurernburg, &c. His Excellency Lieut. Baron de Lamotte is expected back in that city from Spires on the 19th inst.—Naremburg Correspondent, August 9. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

OXFORD CIRCUIT, GLOUCESTER, AUG. 16. Wzlliam Hale was indicted for stealing, on the 11th of June last, 39 sovereigns, the property of a Friendly Society, called the New Unity Society, at Tewkesbury. The money stolen was the fund appropriated by the Society to the relief of sick members and their families, and had arisen from donations made at an annual feast held on the 11th of June. The theft was committed in a peculiarly dexterous manner by the prisoner, who was the Steward of the Society on the occasion of the dinner. He was found Guilty, and the JUDGE, sentencing him to transportation for life, told him that the ingenuity which he had displayed showed that he had talents which might have been employed in a much better manner. The prisoner was a man of respectable appearance. NORTHERNCIRCUIT.-LA NC ASTER, AuG. 15. James Johnson, aged 21, Richard Bolton, 19, Wil liam Coffee, 26, Royer Kearsley, 21, William Hard man, 18, and Benjamin Brown, 19, were indicted for a criminal assault on a female named Alice Berry, deceased. On the night of the 20th Jan. last the deceased Alice Berry had gone with another woman to a public-house for the husband of the latter, and she bad drank some ale. About midnight she was seen in the company of four of the prisoners, who had hold of her, and she was wishing to be taken home. They, however, took her to a place called Bambray Fields, and the deceased was heard crying as she went along, and at the time only one of the men was with her. The other five prisoners shortly af ter came up, and on being informed of the way the man and woman had taken, they followed after. The woman was heard shrieking in the field, and a witness said he went into the field and spoke to the prisoners about the way in which they were using the woman ; the witness also stated that several of the prisoners bad the woman on the ground, and were ill-treating her, and it was evident that the prisoners had successively violated the woman's per son, and while one committed the offence, the others held her down. Subsequently the prisoners left the wo man, and she was found the next morning drowned in a brook. The prisoners were indicted at the last Assizes for the murder of the deceased, and acquitted. By direction of the Judge they were remanded to be tried upon the pre sent charge. The jury found all the prisoner= Guilty, and The Learned JUDGE sentenced Hardman to one year's imprisonment and hard labour, and the others to two years' imprisonment and hard labour also. Owen .I.P.Neil, aged 33, member of the police force at Liverpool, was indicted for having violated the person of Mary Whitfield, the daughter of a male prisoner at Sutton.—The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. On the application of the Counsel for the prosecution his Lordship ordered the prisoner to be detained, that the parties might indict him for a common assault if they thought proper. DOE DEM. NASH V. JOHNSONS AND OTHERS. This was an action of ejectment brought to recover some property under these circumstances :—John Nash, in 1815, made his will, leaving his property to be divided among his wife, and his two suns and two daughters, with a proviso, that if the sons died without issue, their share was to be given to the daughters, and in the Lime manner the sons were to have the daugh ters' share if they died without issue. He died in October, 1817, and the will having been proved by the widow, as no executors had been named, the property was distributed in the manner pointed out by the testator. Iu 1828 the deceased's eldest b,on died, and the plaintiff, James Nash, then claimed the whole of his father's pro perty, as heir at law, on the ground that the signature of Matthew Clarke, one of the attesting witnesses to the will, was a forgery. The plaintiff's sisters are both dead, one having left two and the other three children. The charge of forgery, if established, would have the effect of rendering the will void, and the plaintiff, James Nash, would, as heir at law, be entitled to take possession of the whole of his father's property. The Jury, after hearing several contradictory state ments, returned a verdict for the defendants, thereby es tablishing the validity of the will. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. The French papers, received this morning, have anti cipated the arriv 1 of the New York papers of the 20th of July, by a ship arrived at Havre, which bring accounts from Tampico of the 20th June. Santa Anna's squadron, composed of a brig and three goelettes, has left that port with 300 troops, said to be destined for Soto la Marina or Mattarneras, as these two places were still in the power of the Government troops; it is said that some of Santa Anna's troops were proceeding by land to act in concert with them. Accounts from Brussels state that an extraordinary courier had arrived there from London, bringing de— spatches from General Goblet. It is asserted that new modifications are required : this has caused the greatest anxiety to the public. It is also stated that the King will not convoke the Chamber , , but will ratify the conditions of the Conference without consulting any person, even without the advice of his Ministers. It is believed that on the arrival of King Leopold the Ministry will he changed. Another courier has arrived from Vienna, with despatches from Count Lalaing, who still continues to be most favourably received by the Emperor of Austria. According to accounts from Palau, a Russian fleet of 23 sail was seen off the heights of Gottenburg. The New Yolk packet ship is off Liverpool, of the 20th July: letters and papers not as yet received. No fresh arrivals from Portugal. A Leeward Island mail has - arrived by his Majesty's brig Renard: sailed from St. Thomas's the 10th July. THE FUNDS. The chief topic of conversation this morning relates to the Speech of his Majesty to both Houses of Parliament, which is viewed in two different ways by the City politi cians and speculators. The Bears say it is ambiguouq, and requires explanation. The Bulls are satisfied with it, with the exception respecting Ireland ; but they are par ticularly satisfied with the latter part of the Speech, which states—" through the intimate union which sub sists between me and my allies, to the preservation of general peace." Upon the whole it has not had any effect on the Funds this morning, and Consols opened at the same price they left off at yesterday, 84 to for the Ac count. It being a holiday at Paris no price of the French Rentes have been received by the French estafette. The only business doing in the Foreign Market was a purchase of 100,000 Dutch Stock. HALF-PAST ONE. We have received Jamaica papers to the 24th of June, but they are not of an interesting nature. Sir Arthur Farquhar, Commodore at Jamaica, has given notice that the Government of New Grenada has issued a decree of five articles, to prevent the exportation of gold, i❑ bars or dust, and naming the penalties to which the captains of vessels are subject. BARBADOES. —We rejoice to find by the late accounts from St. Kitt'g, that his Majesty'a ship Racehorse bad proce,ded to Bermuda in a healthy state. Of the 24 cases of cholera previously reported not one had proved fatal. Consols have improved since the morning from 84 to 844 for the account, owing to a report that the King of France is going to interfere with King Leopold to settle the business with the Dutch. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. Portuguese Scrip 3 to 21 discount. THREE 0' CL 0 CS.

About six o'clock on Monday morning the Doctor felt himself rather unwell from a slight seizure in the bowels, but unfortunately no medical assistance was sought. About 10 o'clock Mr. DERRY happened to call in order to see a child of the Doctor's who was unwell, and being made acquainted with the circumstance, he im mediately advised his retiring to bed. Dr. YONGE, was shortly after c tiled in, hut, notwithstanding all their ifeni(giiDnve:EiruAuraeilirg. efforts, the disease continued to increase until nearly half past two on Thursday morning, at which time the Rev. gentleman expired. The following morning he was in terred in a vault in the new burial place belonging to the church of which he had been the beloved and respected pastor, his own being the first funeral which has taken place in the new ground. —Plymouth Journal. Upon an occasion when a large issue of bank-notes was required, a clerk of the Bank of England signed his name, consisting of seven letters, including the initial of his Christian name, 5,300 times during eleven w or king hours ; and he also arranged the notes he had signed i n parcels of 50 each.•—Babbage's Economy of Machinery and Manufactures. LITERATURE. FINNELLY'S LAW OF REFORM. THE ACTS, 2(1 WILLIAM IV. CAP. 45, TO AMEND THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE ; AND 2d WILLIAM IV. CAP. 64, TO SETTLE AND DE. SCRIBE THE DIVISIONS OF COUNTIES, AND BOUNDARIES OF CITIES AND BOROUGHS, IN ENGLAND AND WALES, &C. BY WILLIAM FIN. NELLY, ESQ. OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE, BAR. RISTER AT LAW. MAXWELL. Parliament is now prorogued, and we have now time to redeem the pledge we gave in noticing " Griffiths's Electoral Guide," to bring before our readers a work upon the same subject, of somewhat greater pretensions. That which we have selected comprises both the Reform and Boundary Acts, edited by Mr. Finnelly, already favourably known to the public by previous works on election law. An analysis is prefixed to the Acts, showing in what respect they affect the law and practice of elections as they now exist, in a manner which must prevent the possi bility of mistake. A most copious index, with out which it is impossible for unprofessional per sons to thread their way through the labyrinth of clauses and provisions of two such unavoidably lengthened acts, closes the work. Before giving the extracts we have marked for quotation, we cannot forbear again expressing our deep regret at what must be called the criminal neglect to qualify themselves, which has been displayed by electors throughout the country. We fear that it is for the most part Reformers who have to bear the blame of this neglect ; and that whilst they have been fiddling and feasting over their conquest of the outwork, their opponents have been strengthening themselves in the main body of the citadel ; for never let it be forgotten that Reform is a means not an end,—that as lan guages are not knowledge, but the keys to knowledge, so Reform in the representation is neither economy in our finances, retrenchment in our expenditure, a diminution of our burdens, a more equal division of them, or any of the other numerous benefits we look forward to as result ing from it, but only the arm by which we must utterly annihilate the power of the corruptionists in their strong hold—the Legislature. Have not the Reformers, we say, been asleep or feast ing whilst their opponents have been qualifying themselves, and exerting their utmost energies to maintain their position in the House of Com mons ? We fear that in parts of the country such has been too much the case. We pray Heaven that the accounts we receive may prove to be exaggerated, and that the Reformers will not have to show themselves in the light of children who have asked for that of which they know not the use, or are unworthy to use. The following extracts from Mr. Finnelly's book will serve to give an idea of the plan of the original matter introduced into it : CLASSES OF PERSONS WHO ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE, AND NOT TO BE REGISTERED. Aliens, idiots, lunatics, minors, and females. British Peers, Ministers of State, Lords Lieutenants, and Governors of Counties. Persons convicted of perjury and bribery, or subornation of perjury.
