attention which would prevent the necessity of an applica. tion to Parliament on their behalf.' The SPEAKER then put the question, and the Hou N: resolved itself into a Committee on the DIVISION OF COUNTIES BILL. Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. Clause 48 was put and agreed to, after some amendments. The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clause A was then agreed to. Clause B, after the alteration of a few words, proposed I.y Lord J. RUSSELL, was agreed to, as amended. Clauses C, D, E, and F, were also agreed to, and or dered to stand parts of the Bill. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded with schedule L, in which Lord John Russell proposed several amendments, upon which the Noble Lord, Mr. H. Ross, and Mr. Littleton made a few remarks, but in so low a tone that they were inaudible in the gallery. The amendments having been gone t hrough, the schedule, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the Bill. Schedules M 1, M 2, N and 0, after some conversation across the table, were severally agreed to. On the clause respecting the boundary of Arundel, Lord DUDLEY STUART and Mr. Alderman A TKINS opposed the union of Littlehampten with Arundel, and recommended that the intervening parishes, should be taken instead. Lord J. RUSSELL was averie to the disjunction of Littlehampton, but had no objection to the addition of the other parishes. After some discussion, in which Mr. Littleton, Sir C. Wetherell, Mr. West, Mr. Goulburn, &c. participated, the clause was postponed. The remaining clauses of the Bill, with some verbal amendments, were then' agreed to; and the Report was brought up, with the amendments, and agreed to. On the question that it be received, Mr. BURKE objected to two villages being added to Exeter, that city having already a sufficient constituency. Lord JOHN RUSSELL maintained that the addition was advisable, inasmuch as there was a community of in terest between the city and those parishes, and because the constituency would be rendered more independent by the addition. Mr. BAILLIE objected to the proposal in this Bill to take portions of the counties of Gloucester and Somerset, in the immediate vicinity of the city of Bristol, and to add their inhabitants to the voters for that city. Two evils would be effected by this arrangement; the first was, that the already numerous constituency of the city of Bris tol, would be increased by between 3,000 and 4,000 voters; and the next was, that the portions of these two counties, adjoining that city, would be rendered almost close boroughs. He supposed, however, that his objection would have as little effect as that of the Honourable Mem ber for Exeter had produced ; but still be felt it his duty to make it. • The House resumed, the report was brought up, read, and ordered to be further considered on Thursday next. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved, that a Select Com mittee be appointed to consider the report of the Com missioners upon the limits of the borough of Arundel, and to report their opinions thereon to the House. The motion was agreed to, and the Committee ap pointed. On the motion of Mr. J. CAMPBELL, the House went into a Committee on the Limitation of Actions Bill. Several verbal amendments were agreed to, and the House having resumed, the report was ordered to be brought up on Wednesday next. FINES AND RECOVERIES. Mr. J. CAMPBELL moved that the House should go into Committee upon the Bill to amend the Law relating to Fines and Recoveries. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL did not mean to oppose the Bill, but he wished his Hon. and Le irned Friend would postpone its consideration, as it had come on rather unexpectedly, and several Hon. and Learned Members, ho had wished to give their opinions on some of its de tails, were now absent. Mr. J. CAMPBELL said that the Bill had been post p 4ned so often, that, if he wished to carry it this Session, mu-t refuse any further delay, and he did so—he was re•olvrd to press it on now. Mr. C. WYNN recommended a further postponement, la cause those lion. and Learned Members, who were alone capable of discussing the technical details of the Bill, were now absent. Mr. O'CONNELL thought there was no reason for the postponement of the Committee, for all the advantages were on one side, and there was no dread of disadvantages to balance them. The simple object of the Bill was to get rid of many useless forms, that not only occasioned ex pense, but endangered the holder's title to property. The Bill went through a Committee, but it was under stood that if Hon. Members had any amendments to pro pose, they might be taken on the bringing up of the Report on Wedn.-sday next. CURTESY OF ENGLAND BILL. This Bill, ou the motion of Mr. J. CAMPBELL, went through a Committee, and the report W 39 ordered to be brought up on Wednesday ❑ext. DOWER BILL. Mr. J. CAMPBELL moved the further consideration of the report of this Bill. Mr: BLAMIRE wished to know whether the Hon. and Learned Member for Stafford intended to persevere in in— troducing a clause to enable a husband to take away his wife's dower by will ? If so, he thought it very unjust, and he should oppose it. Mr. J. CAMPBELL believed that the Bill bad been more favourable to the ladies than the Hon. Member seemed to suppose, for it had given them a right of dower out of the husband's equitable, as well as out of his legal estate ; and the disadvantage, if any (which he much doubted), of the other clause, was more than compensated by this benefit. Mr. BLAMIRE was not at all of that opinion, and he should therefore move that the words "or by will," now forming a part of the fourth clause, be omitted. Mr. O'CONNELL recommended that the law should not be made ex post facto, or apply to any woman now married. Sir J. SCARLETT suggested that it might be made to depend upon the consent of the wife. . Mr. SHEIL supported some alteration of the clause, as it gave the husband a power to the injury of the wife. A conversation of a purely technical nature then took place, in which several professional Members participated. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, being anxious to consider more maturely the details of the measure, moved that the Chairman do report progress and ask leave to sit again ; upon which the Committee divided— .. For the motion 43 Against it Majority The House then resumed. STEAM VESSELS NAVIGATION BILL. This Bill, on the motion of Mr. Alderman WOOD, went through a Committee pro forma :—to be recommitted on Wednesday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Hattie adjourned at Two o'clock. WA LSALL.-Mr. DE BOSCOE ATTWOOD, eldest son of T. ATTWOOD, Esq., has declared himself a candidate for the representation of Walsall in a Reformed Parliament. An announcement to this effect was made from the balcony of Mr. COTTIIRELL'S house, in High street, on Friday evening last ; and on Monday morning, 41r. A. made a public entry into the town, amidst thou sands of spectators, and under escort of the Political Union, with flag•, Ice. After an address of thanks for his flatter ing reception, he commenced his canvass at Walsall, and then proceeded to Bloxwieb (in the foreign) for the same purpose. At five the procession returned to Walsall to inert T. ATTWOOD, Esq. and JOSHUA SCHOLEFIELD, Esq. who arrived about six, and addressed the populace on the new prospects opened to the country by the Reform Bill ; they were enthusiastically cheered. The Wednes bury and Darlaston Unions reached Walsall in the after noon. No candidate besides Mr. Arrwoon has yet pub licly presented himself, but it is generally understood that Mr. Forrga, the eminent banker of that pl ice, will offer himself, with the greatest prospect of success.-- Wol verhanipton Chronicle. A hint has been thrown out to us that Dr. RUSSELL, the late Master of the Charterhouse, (foes not Mean to resign his stall at Canterbury; and an argument of this kind has been suggested to us in his favour,—that as he has reduced the Charterhouse school to a very few boys, he will probably reduce his congregation at Bishops gate in the same manner, whe❑ there can be no harm in his strolling among the hop-grounds of Canterbury for a few months in every year. All this may be very true, but we trust his congregation at Bishop-gate will have too much , pirit to receive him, or suffer him to mount the pulpit, or pay him one farthing of tithe, except they un derstand that they are to have the whole of his care; and the whole of the care of such a man, with whatever stipendiary assistance of more competence in point of talent than he possesses, is not too much for such a parish. He may think himself hardly dealt by, when he looks at and quotes (as we bear he does) the floocsozss, and the PRE TYIIANS, and the SPARKEs; but we pledge ourselves to root out all that race of vermin from the church before two years are over, or at least to prune the lux uriancy of their wealth and insolence, and compress them within one sub stantial piece of preferment...— Times. THIRD READING OF THE REFORM BILT (From the Edinburgh Evening Courant, June 7.) We have again to acknowledge our obligations to thy• public spirited Proprietors of The Sun, for their extraor dinary exertions in conveying to us, by express, the ac count of the third reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords on Monday night, which arrived yesterday afternoon, at Messrs. Taylor Smith and Co.'s, St.Andren••- square. 13y the activity of the Proprietors of The Sun on this occasion the public have been put in posssession one day earlier than they otherwise could have been of the third reading of the Reform Bill. (From the Oxford Unirersity Herald, June 9.) The inhabitants of this city, who are the friends of Reform, are under great obligations to the spirited Editor of The Sun newspaper, which arrived here at half-past five in the morning of Tuesday last, containing a report of the proceedings in the House of Lords, and the account of the passing of the Bill, which took place at ten o'clock the preceding night ! Such extraordinary expedition in printing and travelling would a few years since have been deemed impossible, and might now have been declared un equalled, had not the managers of this paper used equal celerity several times during the interesting events which have occurred during the late important discussions. We hope that the exertions of the Editor may be duly appreci ated, and that he may be patronized by the public iu the manner that be merits. (From the Freeman's Journal of Thursday, June 7.) By an express edition of The Sun of Monday, the gra tifying intelligence of the triumph of the English Bill of Rights reached Dublin yesterday. It will be seen with delight that, on a division on the third reading, the Tories only mustered 2.1! ! The Bill passed by a majority of 84 !! ! Thus has the phalanx, by which this great mea • sure has been so long and so obstinately thwarted, been routed before the all-powerful impulse of public opinion. (From the Stockport Advertiser, Thursday, June 7.) Of all the Ministerial metropolitan Press, The Sun Pro prietors deserve best the encouragement of the community for the zeal and perseverance, regardless of expense, which they so often exhibit in their attempts to gratify the public by early and valuable information. On Tuesday last we were put into possession, through the kindness of Mr. Gaskill, a reporter from The Sun office, who was travelling in a chaise and four express to the North, with half-a-dozen copies of The Sun of Monday, containing the whole of the debate in the Lords, on the third reading of the Reform Bill, as early as three o'clock in the afternoon, though the division did not take place until ten the night before; a favour for which we beg to return our best thanks. (From the Coventry Herald, Friday, June 8.) The news announcing the long and anxiously desired termination to the Reform Bill arrived in this city on Tuesday morning, shortly after seven o'clock, by express from The Sun office. The intelligence was received by a large concourse of persons, who had assembled around the King's Head Inn, with every demonstration of joy, acid the person who conveyed the express was started on his journey with three hearty cheers. In a few moments the bells of the churches commenced ringing, and conti nued so throughout the day. The triumphant success of the measure was the only topic of conversation, and a fresh tone and spirit of confidence seemed to be infused into the minds of the people. (From the Wakefield and Halifax Journal, June 8.) PASSING OF THE REFOR3I BILL.--The cheering news that the Reform Bill had passed the House of Lords was received in Wakefield by an express from The Sun office at half-past two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and diffused such a spirit of delight as we never before saw displayed upon any precious occasion. The bells of the churches in the town and ❑eighbourhood immediately poured forth their joyous peals, and a band of music paraded the town. Flags and banners were displayed from windows in every directi,m. The bells at Wakefield ceased their tuneful chime somewhere about midnight; those of Sandal, how ever, determined not to be outdone,were rung out through the night, and were sounding gaily several hours after daybreak on the following morning. Branch expresses were despatched from the 'Wakefield Journal office to Dewsbury, Huddersfield, and other places, where the news was received with a similar feeling ; the bells were rung ; music was played about the towns ; and flags were flying in all directions. (From the Glasgow Chronicle of June 6.) By the continued exertions of The Sun, we are again enabled to anticipate, by twenty-four hours, the regular arrivals from London. Mr. Atkinson, the agent, received a few copies of an express edition containing the division on the third reading of the English Reform Bill, and to his kind attention are we indebted foc being able to an nounce the result. (From the Worcester Journal of June 7.) At twelve o'clock yesterday an express arrived at the Public News-room, with copies of The Sun, containing the division on the third reading of the Reform Bill. The news circulated through the city almost instanta neously, and in a short time the church bells commenced ringing, continuing to do so through the day; there were also firing of guns and other indications of joy. This morning, the London Mail arrived in this city with six horses, adorned with blue ribbands, the postilion having a blue jacket; on the roof of the coach was displayed two blue flags, inscribed " Earl Grey," " His Majesty's Mi nisters," " The majority of 81." Mr. Jones, of the Star Hotel, preceded the coach, on horseback. The novelty of the suectacle drew together a considerable crowd. The passing of the Reform Bill will be celebrated both in the metropolis and the country with unusual demonstra tions of joy. This morning a letter was addressed to the Mayor and Magistrates of this city, signed by several most respectable persons, requesting them to name an evening for a general illumination. This request was complied with, and the illumination will take place on Tuesday night. (From the Dublin Morning Register of June 8.) I❑ an early second edition, yesterday morning, we an nounced the gratifying result of the division on the third reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords on Mon day night. We were thus enabled to gratify the public anxiety by our indefatipble agent, Mr. Wilmer, of Liver pool, who forwarded us a communication by the Dolphin, Captain Smithett, which did not start for nearly an hour after the usual time of sailing. Captai❑ Smithett was the bearer of a despatch to the Irish Government, contain ing the numbers on the division. At eight o'clock, (an hour after our second edition was at press), we received, through the Clerks of the Roads, an express edition of The Sun, dated half-past ten on Monday night, containing a report of the debate on the third reading, which will be found in our subsequent columns. (From the Carlow Morning Post of June 7.) By the indefatigable exertions of the spirited Proprietors of The Sun, and through the attention of our agents, Messrs. Johnston and Company, we are enabled to lay before our readers the important debate and the division, on the third reading of the English Reform Bill, in the House of Lords, on Alqnday night; thus rivaling in early intelligence the Dublin morning papers of this day, and anticipating the evening journals. (From the Nottingham Review, June 8.) The intelligence of the third reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords on Monday night, being carried by a majority of 14, was received in Nottingham by an express from The Sun office, which arrived shortly after nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, and the joyful tidings were immediately placarded outside our office. A paper having been procured, Mr. Eyre was again mounted on the pump in front of the Exchange, from which he read over the debates, as reported in the express edition of The San, and notwithstanding the torrents of rai❑ which were falling at the time, the people soon assembled in thousands. The exhilarating intelligence was received with en thusiastic cheer., and a loud call was made to hoist the standard of England on the summit of the Exchange, which was speedily complied with. A very considerable part of the crowd then repaired to St. Mary's Church, for the purpose of having the bells rung; o❑ arriving against the vicarage, it was found that the Archdeacon was from home; after some considerable delay, Mr. Churchwarden Eddowes was fetched, who immediately complied with the demands of the people, and soon after the union jack was hoisted, and the bells were set in motion, amidst the cheers of the people. The multitude then set off, to re quest the ringing of St. Peter's bells, but on their way to the residence of the Rector, their ears were saluted by the harmonious peal which had already commenced in the steeple. I❑ the enthusiasm of the moment, they deter mined to have every bell set in motion, and turning of into Castle-gate, surrounded St. Nicholas's Church, re quiring of the Rector that the clock bell and the vestry bell of that church should be rung. Having stated that he should not interfere, but allow the Churchwardens to act as they thought proper, Mr. Spencer was speedily sent for, and he gratified the people by ordering the two bells to be rung. The first sound here also was received by loud cheers, and the multitud e moved cff to Standard hill, where in like manner the bell of St. James's Chapel was speedily set in motion. On passing the Castle.locige, the whole mass of people gave three tremendous groans for , lie Duke of Newcastle, and as they returned to the Mar ket-place, they cheered at the residence of several well known Reformers. In the course of the forenoon, two small piece. of cannon were brought into Market-place. and were several times discharged, while the ex plosion of smaller fire arms was heard incessantly in every direction. The intelligence had spread with the utmost rapidity, and smiling faces, congratulations, and happy greetings were everywhere visible ; notwithstanding the heavy rain, which fell almost uninterrupt. d, short] ) after :noon, a most excellent volunteer band and a con siderable number of banners, paraded the town, the former playing a variety of popular and national airs, and they continued their perambulations till after nine in the evening. Throughout the afternoon, the eveninß, and even till past midnight, the firing was almost incessant ; small cannon were dragged about the streets, and let off in several public situations, in some instances much to the detriment of the windows of some good reformers, many panes of glass being broken by the concussion. All labour appeared to be sus pended, and never do we recollect to have seen so universal a feeling of satisfaction. Amidst the immense quantity of gunpowder exploded, we have not heard of any accident of a serious nature. On Wednesday, the occasional ring. ing of the bells continued, and the national colours were displayed flow the churches, the Exchange, and Town hall, but the people had generally returned to their regular occupations, waiting the next occasion for displaying their joy at the triumph of the nation's will. (From the Edinburgh Weekly Journal, June 6 ) THIRD READING OF THE REFORM BlLL.—This most important intelligence has just reached us by means of a❑ express edition of The Sun, politely handed to us with• out a moment's delay, by Mr. Taylor Smith. (From the New North Briton, Wednesday, June 6.) We have just received, by the kindness of Messrs. J. Taylor Smith, an express edition of The Sun, which brings us the glad tidings that, on the third reading on Monday night, the Reform Bill was passed in the House of Peers, by a Majority of 84 ; 106 having voted for it, and only 22 against it. In a Third edition we shall give the whole of the discussion ; but we hasten to give the good news thus briefly as soon as possible. (From the Scotsman (Edinburgh), Friday, June G.) TRIUMPH OF THE REFORM BILL.—Joy ! joy ! joy ! Our hopes are realized ! Tee English Reform Bill was read a third time and passed on Monday, in the House of Lords. It would receive the King's assent yesterday, and is, while we are now writing, the law of the land ! Adieu to rotten burghs and corruption for ever! We are in debted to an express edition of The Sun for this glorious intelligence. (From the Caledonian Mercury, Thursday, June 7.) We are indebted to an express edition of The Sun for the, report of the debate and division on the third reading of the English Reform Bill, which appears in this day's Mercury. The House of Lords on Monday did not adjourn till ten o'clock, two hours after the departure of the Edin burgh mail ; and yet the express edition was forwarded with such rapidity as to reach the agents here, Messrs. Taylor Smith, and Co., at the same time with the other London newspapers. Enterprise like this, especially at a period of so intense anxiety, deserves high commendation, and ought to secure support. To the Edinburgh journals it is of the greatest importance ; and we have sincere p'ea sure in acknowledging our obligations for being repeatedly enabled to convey intelligence to most of our readers a day sooner than we could have done by the ordinary channels. (From the Doncaster Gazette, June 8.) We are again indebted to Mr. Murilo Young, the spi rited Proprietor of The Sun newspaper, for the early in telligence of the third reading of the Reform Bill, in the House of Lords. The news reached Doncaster, by express from Sheffield, about two o'clock in the afternoon. The intelligence immediately spread throughout the town with the utmost rapidity. The bells--were mute. (From the same Paper.) SHEFFIELD. —REFORM BILL - The Sun express, bringing the third reading of the Reform Bill in the Lords, arrived in Sheffield about half past twelve on Tues day. It was received with universal joy. The bells struck up a merry peal, which continued at intervals all the afternoon. Guns were fired in every direction, and a holyday to the workmen appetred to be very general. Ar rangements are now making for a public procession, to celebrate this great event. The express immediately pi o ceeded to Leeds, where it arrived at four o'clock, and the intelligence it brought was there announced to the public by Mr. Baines, from the balcony in front of the Mercury office. (From the Lichfield Mercury of June 8.) The welcome intelligence that the Reform Bill had been read a third time in the House of Lords, and passed by a large majority, reached this city shortly before ten o'clock on Tuesday morning. It was communicated by an ex press from that active and obliging newspaper, The Sun. The public joy was speedily manifested ; and so great was the curiosity to become acquainted with the particulars, that notwithstanding our display of the intelligence in the office window, and the circulation of notes to as many of our friends as time permitted, we were overwhelmed with inquiries, and some hours of our time wore occupied in the gratifying though fatiguing task of answering in• terrogatories on the subject. At least thirty or forty times were we called upon to give to audiences, of occa sionally eight or ten persons, a short account of the pro ceedings. Congratulations were universal; and even pas sengers by the coaches, bearing that particulars of the intelligence were to be obtained at our office, came to it, at the risk of losing their places, and joined in the general expression of delight. It is also worth recording, as a testimony to the activity of The Sun, and of the obliga tions of our townsmen to that Paper, that through its means the intelligence was known here at least ten hours sooner than it could have reached it in the ordinary course. The bells of the Cathedral and the other churches rang merrily and continuously throughout the day ; and it is intended to celebrate the joyous event of the Royal Assent being given to the Bill by numerous public din ners : many names, we hear, have been put down for this purpose. (From the Shrewsbury Chronicle of June 8.) The news reached this office by an express edition of The Sun, about five o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, of the third reading of the Bill, and as soon as it became known, there appeared a general cessation of business, and groups of persons assembled in every spot, mutually and enthusiastically congratulating each other. The bells of St. Chad's fired away triumphantly, and were followed by those of the other churches. Towards tcn o'clock at night a band of music was provided, and under the man agement of Mr. Williams, of the Bugle, proceeded to meet the Wonder coach. The crowd which had assembled at this period, notwithstanding the wetness of the evening, was amazing. On arriving in front of the Bull Hotel, the band intermitted their labours to permit a portion of the crowd to unload themselves of their scorn by groaning a bitter melody in the ears of the inmates. Meantime the Wonder ap proached ; a blaze of torches was immediately raised ; the band struck up " God save the King ;" the crowd ar ranged themselves peaceably and orderly both in front and in a very long train behind the coach ; a person was placed on the top, waving a flag ; and thus, amid the cheers of thousands, and the waving of handkerchiefs from windows, the procession safely reached the Lion Inn ; and the joyful intelligence was confirmed to the people by the numbers of the majority and minority being proclaimed from the top of the coach. The band then proceeded, with the procession thickening and lengthening as it passed, up Dogpole, and, after traversing without accident or injury to any one, all the principal streets, about midnight they reached the Market-square, where a detachment having seranaded one or two ill-tempered Anti-reformers with a chorus of affecting and sympathetic groans, and the band having played to them " The Dead March," the mass of the people, uncovered in the Market-square, sang " God save the King," and returned quietly to their homes. (Flom the Derby Reporter of June 7). THIRD READING OF THE REFORM BILL IN THE House OF LORDS.-.—" SUN" EXPRESS.—At i IaIf- past nine o'clock on Tuesday moining, an express from The Sun office arrived at our office, with the joyful intelligence that the Reform Bill bad been read a third time in the House of Lords, an d passe d b y a ma j ority of 84, after a futile re sistance by a minority of 22. We had thought the com parative certainty of the Bill passing, after the restoration of the 'Moistly, would haveggreatly diminished the interest generally felt in the progress of the Bill ; but we were much iniotaken. The exertions of the spirited conductors of The Sun are the theme of grateful notice amongst all classes, through which we received the news twelv e hours sooner than it would otherwise have been obtained. The messenger that passed through this town, performed the journey between here and Loughborough in thirty minutes less than the mail, and on the supposition that the express left London at eleven o'clock, the distance of 126 miles was passed over in 101 hours, The Sun Paper having been delivered in this town at a quarter p as t n i ne o ' clock. This attention to the gratification of the public, we are sure, will not be forgotten. As soon as th e news arr i ved, it rapidly spread through the town, and g reat num b ers o f persons assembled in the principal street:from all quarters, their countenances beaming with joy ; the bells of the dif ferent churches proclaimed with their many tongues the national triumph ; cannon and guns were fired through out the day; ,and some of the streets were profusely de corated with shrubs and flowers. On the ;whole, this triumphant success, after such an arduous and protracted struggle, was borne with very great moderation : tine English people, on this most momentous question, have presented a spectacle worthy of the admiration of thi world. By their perseverance, without violence or blood shed, they have achieved an Herculean task ; by a resolut( and undaunted attitude, and by constitutionally expressing their wishes, they have taken their liberty from the hands of those who had surreptitiously filched it from them— surrendered, it is true, with the greatest possible reluc tance, but yielded under the deepest conviction that i• could no longer be withheld. (From the Bath Herald, Saturday, June 9.) We have again to return our warmest acknowledgments to the Proprietors of The Sun newspaper for another instance of their public spirit, liberality, and courtesy, in forwarding to us, by express, on Tuesday last, a copy of that Paper, with the gratifying news of the third re td ing of the Reform Bill in the Lords, which was carried by a large niljority. We deem it, however, requisite to state that from some accident or neglect, the Paper did not reach us till Wednesday morning ! The news of the triumphant majority of Eighty-four was received with unbounded gratification ; flags were hoisted from nume rous inns, and eve❑ private dwellings ; peals of bells were rung and fired from all the churches, and discharges of every species of fire-arms and fireworks stunned the ears of the inhabitants for several hours after sun-set. The same rejoicings took place this morning on the receipt of the in telligence that the Bill had received the Royal Assent. HEREFORD, JUNE 8. Ever since the third reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, the inhabitants of this city have been anxiously waiting to hear of the Royal assent being given to it. The whole of yesterday and this morning people asked each other whether any intelligence had transpired. The arrival of to-day's mail has put an end to this state of anxiety, and the people are now, on all sides, congratulat ing each other on the happy certainty that the Reform Bill is now the law of the land. The people are going to parade the streets with flags, banners, and a band of music, and the sound of the bells already seems to concen trate the whole population at the point from whence the patriotic procession is to start. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES.-(CONCLUDED.) The meeting terminated yesterday, after four days of finer racing than has been seen. these ten years, thanks to the exertions of Baron de Tessier and the " new adminis tration." The unfavourable state of the weather in the forenoon operated against the attendance yesterday, which, notwithstanding, was very respectable, and more numerous than could have been expected under the circumstances. There was a fair sprinkling of fashion, the list of visitors comprehending the Duke of Richmond, Duke of Rutland, Marquess of Exeter, Marquess of Marchioness of Cleveland, Marquess Graham, Marquess of Worcester, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl Mountcharles, Earl and Countess Wilton, Earl of Lichfield, Earl Verulam, Earl of Errol, Earl of ,Uibridge, Eatl Stradbroke, Earl of Derby, Earl of Coventry, Lords Fitzroy, Rosslyn, Bane high, Lowther, R. Grosvenor, T. Cecil, G. Bentinek, Powlett, Conyngbam, Earl Grosvenor, Lady Agnes Byng, lion. Miss Forester, Sirs D. Baird, V. Cotton, M. Wood, L. Glyn, G. Heathcote, Hon. E. Stanley, Hon. B. Craven, Hon. H. Stanley, Hon. Colonel Anson, Hon. Captain Roue, Hon. S. Wortley, Messrs. C. Wilson, Gre ville, Rush, Thornhill, Houldsworth, J. Mills, F. Mills, G. Walker, Worrall, A. Hunter, Byng, M. Stanley, Peel, S. Stanley, &c. The racing was decided as under : The Oaks Stakes of 50 says, each, h. ft., for 3 yr old fillies, Sst. 41b. mile and half. The other conditions the same as for the Derby-63 subs. Marquess of Exeter's Galatea (Advance) Mr. S. Day's Lady Fly, by Bustard Mr. Sadler's Eleanor, by Middleton The following also started but were not placed : Lord Lowther's Whimsey (Wheatley.) Mr. Mill's Kate (Chifney.) Captain Byng's Dryad (Pavis.) Mr. Grant's Middleton (Macdonald,) Mr. Houldsworth's Corset (Darling.) Duke of Richmond's Somnambule (Boyce.) Lord Egremont's Whalebone f. (H. Edwards.) Sir G. Heathcote's Damascene (Wright.) Lord Chesterfield's Olga (J. Day.) Mr. Bigg's Miss Badsley (Scott.) Lord Burlington's Cat filly (Arnull.) Mr. Forth's Martha f. (F. Buckle.) Mr. Rush's f. (Robinson,) Lord Egremont's Sister to Tom Thumb (Templeman.) Captain Bulkeley's Sister to Pinwire (Nat.) _ Mr. Crosby's L'Amitie (C. Day.) The above constituted a field of very fair dimensions, the horses, according to the received opinion, meeting on tolerably fair terms. Galatea had done any thing beyond the common, but her goodness appears to have suffered materially (as it turns out in idea only) by the indifferent running of Lord Exeter's Derby horses. At the breaking up of the ring the odds were 5 to 2 against her, and the same against Kate, who must have done something better in private than in public to justify the extreme confidence with which she was backed ; certainly her Derby running did not warrant it. Whimsey was at 7to 1, Olga at 12 to 1, Lady Fly at 16 to 1, Eleanor at 16 to 1, Somnam bule at 20 to 1, Lord Egremont's two at 20 to 1, and Miss Badsley at 25 to 1. Only two false starts, and these principally through Dryad. At the third time the start was beautiful; Galatea sprung off in front, Lady Fly lying next her, Cat and Kate immediately behind, and the rest in a ruck close behind. Galatea continued leading at a steady pace till they came to the road (half a mile from home), where Lady Fly headed Galatea about a length, and maintained her advantage for some 50 yards, or till about two distances from the judge's chair, and then Ga latea resumed her lead, went right away from her horses, and won in a canter by two lengths, Lady Fly beating Eleanor still further.

FRENCH PAPERS. The lLfoniteur of this morning contains the followin, report and ordinance : " REPORT OF THE KING. "SIRE,—The foresight of Government ' Urges it tilt day to adopt measures eal-nlat-d to prevent for ever the repetition of attempts similar to thu.e which have afflicted the capital since yesterday; it is only by a severe repressioi, of the present disorders that such a result can be obtained. Your Majesty, on traversing to-day the multitude whicl pressed around you, could perceive, amidst the warm ex pression of its devotedness, that of its confidence in the firmness of the authority, which would be no less faithful in its duty towards good citizens on this occasion, than the latter would prove faithful to the Government. When generous citizens rival in zeal and intrepidity with brave soldiers, the Government would be culpable indeed not to employ all the means in its power to protect efficaciously their property, their industry, their families, and their persons, basely assassinated from the windows of a city the prosperity of which is their work. The suppression of the armed revolt o❑ every point to-day by the material force is not sufficient ; it is necessary that a moral force, which is all-powerful, should put an end to the spirit of rebellion, and discover, by prompt and active researches, the plots entered into by the united factions. I have the honour of proposing to your Majesty to place Paris under the rule of martial law. After the repression of the disturbances by the armed force, it is needless to tranquillise the population on the tendency of the measure; the people wish for it too . . generally not to have formed a right notion of its real character. They feel the necessity of defending with the greatest energy i❑ that city in which the revolution of July originated and triumphed, that same revolution against the effort of the factions desirous of supplanting it by another, pregnant with storms and dangers. The future must be secured as the present has been maintained —to effect this, the whole law must be put without the ordinary pale of the law, as has been already the case with the material resources, in order not to prolong the mis fortune of the situation and inconveniences which at. tended it. The object and effect of Paris being placed under martial law will be to render public force more prompt and active, without causing any change in the ordinary jurisdiction and the usual course of the Admini stration,' as to whatever does not relate to the preparation and execution of the conspiracy and the rebellion. In one word, the placing Paris under martial law concerns the conspiracy alone. Such a measure, however, must, par ticularly in Paris, be essentially temporary. A few days will, no doubt, be sufficient for an active power to render it fully efficacious. It will be so, and this noble capital will have been able to achieve the conquest of order in June 1832, as, in July 1830, it achieved that of liberty ! (Signed) " MONTA LI VET, Minister of the Interior." (From the Moniteur.) ORDINANCE OF THE KING. Louis-Philippe, King of the French. Considering that seditious groups have appeared in arms in the capital, that their presence has been signalized by attempts against public and private property, and by as sassinations of the National Guards,—the troops of the line,—the Municipal Guard,—and the agents of public authority : That it is important to protect, by prompt and energetic measures, the public safety, against the recurrence of simi lar attempts : We have ordained, and ordain, as follows : Art. 1. The city of Paris is declared in a state of siege; nothing, however, is hereby changed in the dispositions, relative to the command and service of the National Guard. 2. Our Minister Secretary of State for the Department of War, and our Minister Secretary of State fur the De partment of the Interior, are charged with the execution of this Ordinance. Palace of the Tuileries, June 6. LOUIS-PHILIPPE. Countersigned MONTALIVET. The Moniteur also contains a report from the Minister of War to the King, stating that a great number of the pupils of the Polytechnic School, forgetting their duty to wards the State, which, at a heavy expense, afforded them instruction, in order that they might, at a future day, serve their country in various public situations, had, in violation of express orders, broke the bounds of the schools, and joined the seditious insurgents, taking an active part in the acts of rebellion, of which the promoters of anarchy were guilty, and at two several times having endeavoured to seduce their companions who remained faithful to their duty ; but finding themselves unsuccessful, had attempted to seize and carry off the arms at the school, which the other pupils defended with honour. Being no longer able to answer for the devotedness of the entire body, the pupils to the institutions and throne founded by the glorious re volution of July, the Minister finds himself compelled to recommend to his Majesty that the school should be dis solved : but at the same time submits to the benevolent consideration of his 'Majesty those pupils who had proved that they were animated by better sentiments. This re port is followed by a Royal Ordinance, which contains the following articles:— ORDINANCE OF THE KING. Louis-Philippe, King of the French, To all present, and to come, greeting— After the account which has been reported to us of the serious disorders to which a great number of the pupils of the Polytechnic School have lent themselves— Firstly—ln breaking the regulations of the school, for the sake of joining seditious persons, and participating in the acts of rebellion, of which the authors of the anarchy are guilty ; Secondly—ln returning, at two different times, to endeavour to seduce those pupils who remained faithful to their duty, and in having manifested the intention of de priving them of the arms of the school, which the latter defended with honour. On the report of our Minister the Secretary of State for the War Department, We have ordained, and do ordain, as follows : Art. 1. The pupils of the Polytechnic School are dis banded, and will return immediately to their families. 2. The Polytechnic School will be immediately re organized. The pupils of the Polytechnic School who, having remained faithful to their duty, have defended with honour the arms of the school, will form part of the re organized school, of which they will be the nucleus. The completion of the school will be provided for by new ad missions, which will take place after the examinations of the present year, conformably to the laws and ordinances. LOUIS-PHILIPPE. Countersigned by the Marshal Duke of DALMATIA. Paris, June 6, 1832. The same official journal contains another Royal Ordi n trice dissolving the corps of artillery of the National Guards, but declaring that an ulterior reorganization of the corps should take place. ORDINANCE OF THE KING. Louis-Philippe, King of the French. To all present, and to come, greeting— On the report of our Minister, Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior, we have ordained, and do or dain, as follows : Art. 1. The corps of artillery of the National Guards of Paris is dissolved. 2. Measures will hereafter be taken for the reorganiza of this corps. 3. Our Minister, Secretary of State for the Depart ment of the Interior, is charged with the execution of the present ordinance. At the Palace of the Tuileries, June 6, 1832. LOUIS-PHILIPPE. (By the King) .MONTALIVET, Peer of France, Minister Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior. (From Galignani's Messenger of Thursday.) The cannonade referred to in the conclusion of the last account proceeded from the Pont Notre Dame, opposite the rue des Arcis, in which a considerable number of the insurgents had taken up their position ; the Pont Notre Dame and the adjacent quays had at first been occupied b by detachments o f th e N at i ona l Guards of the Banlieue, who in their z ea l m i s di rected their fire, which, instead of reaching the i nsurgents, entered the windows of some of s t e h v e er n a e l persons, houing among houses, neighbouring whomand, as werewe some are killed The same troops, by the imprudent though gallant manner in which they exposed themselves, suffered considerably from the galling fire of the insurgents ; we regret to learn that the Colonel of one of the legions was among the victims. When these circumstance were known at head-quarters, several battalions of the line, with two pieces of cannon, were sent to relieve and support the National Guards. The newly arrived troops i m mediately formed in three lines, the first kneeling, the second stooping, and the third upright, and commenced a terrific platoon fire, which, to gether with the cannonade, lasted a considerable time. The insurgents :nade several attempts to rush on the cannon, after they were discharged, but they were always repulsed with great loss ; and ultimately the survivors, amounting in number to several hundreds, retreated towards the Cloitre St. Mery, where they barricaded themselves in the church ; this was about half-past four. Marshal Soult, the Minister of War, proceeded thither in person, and summoned them to suirender at discretion. They demanded to capitulate, which was refused ; and the Marshal told them that if they did not surrender in ten minutes, he should force the door with the artillery. At the expiration of the appointed time directions were liven to storm, and the church being carried by assault, all who had not fallen in the skirmish were taken prisoners. The troops engaged in this affair were two battalions of the line, sonic of the National Guards of the Banlieue, a -quadron of the Municipal Guard, and another of Cara bineers, with two pieces of ordnance. From this time the fusilade entirely ceased, with the exception of a few shots interchanged about nine o'clock, near the Halle, between the troops and some detached groups of insurgents. The national forces were masters of all the posts formerly occupied by the rioters, who were either killed, prisoners, or seeking their safety by indivi dual flight. A., however, the possibility of some of them rallying at night was contemplated, every precaution was taken ; all the streets in which any disturbances had taken place were occupied by troops, and no one allowed to pass without being searched by the guards, to ascertain that they had no concealed arms. The Lancers of Nemours and some other cavalry remained in the Champs Elysees, where their bivouac assumed the picturesque appearance of a regular camp. Towards eleven o'clock, however, as nothing appeared to justify the apprehensions entertained, the majority of the troops were allowed to retire to their quarters, detachments only being kept in bivouac near the points of most importance. Thus the Passage Vivienne remained occupied by a detachment of the National Guards, and the Passage Colbert by a battalion of the line, in order to be in readiness in the event of any attack be ing made upon the Bank, and the troops in the Place du Carrousel and the Louvre also continued on the alert. As the troops passed home to their quarters, they were loudly cheered by the people with cries of " Vive le Roi, vive la Ligne, et vive la Garde Nationale!" The conduct of all the regular troops, and a very great majority of the National Guards, is above all praise; lad the loud and cor dial, as well as universal greeting, which took place be tween the line and the citizen soldiers, is one of the most gratifying features of the day. In the quarter St. Antoine a number of individuals wearing the uniform of the National Guards were observed among the insurgents ; but it is said that part of the plan of the rioters was to dress their partisans in uniforms previously provided for the purpose, in order to induce a belief that the National Guards were supporting them. It is, however, but too certain that some of those who should have been the guar dians of public order disgraced them elves by lending their aid to disturb it. We understand that a Captain of the National Guards, who fired from a window of the fan bourg St. Antoine on his comrades, was seized and torn in pieces. We understand that ordinances have been signed, dis banding the artillery of the National Guards, and the Al fort and Polytechnic schools. Those pupils of the latter who remained at home, and took no part in the proceed ings of the day, are to be admitted in the reorg mization which is to take place, and the vacancies will be filled up from the examination lists of the present year. The Council of Ministers has been almost in perma nence, except when the Ministers of War, Commerce, and the Interior, accompanied the King and the Duke de Ne mours in their visit to the various posts. The Royal cortege proce,ded along the whole line of the Boulevards, from the Place de la Revolution to the faubourg Antoine, and returned by the quays to the Tuileries. The recep tion given by the people both to the King and the troops by whom he was escorted was throughout one of the most gratifying description. The Royal party returned to the Tuileries between three and four o'clock. No estimate has yet been attempted to be formed of the number of killed and wounded, though it must be very considerable, and we regret to hear that several officers of the National Guards are among them. As a proof of the number of insurgents engaged, we may men tion the fact that 3,000 muskets are said to have been taken from the manufactory in the rue St. Maur alone. In the faubourg St. Antoine nearly all the leaden gutters were torn down to make bullets. The only names that we hear mentioned among the killed are M. Dulac, Chef d'Escadron of the Municipal Horse Guards; and M. Tur pin, Captain of the Municipal Foot Guards. Four indi vi.luals, who had stationed themselves on the platform of the Porte St. Martin, where they annoyed the troops by a harassing fire, were seized by a party of the National Guards, and shot on the Boulevards. The number of persons arrested is stated to exceed 1,000, including those taken in the streets and those arrested at home. Among the latter are M. Sarrutt, and another of the Editors of the Tribune. It is also said that a warrant has been is.. sued against M. Carrel, the editor in chief of the National. After the breaking up of the Council of Ministers at two o'c'ock yesterday morning, Messrs. de Montalivet and d'Argout (the latter of whom still uses a crutch) left the Tuileries with a few of their employe's, and proceeded oa foot to their respective hotels. The following anecdotes appear in the Ministerial eve ning journal, the Nouvelliste, on the authority of which we repeat them, not having ourselves had the means of ascertaining their correctness:— " From all the innumerable groups through which the King passed, the cries of ' Vive le Roil' were uttered, with the exception of one, in which a few scattered voices cried ' A has le Roi!" La tete du Roi !' upon which his Majesty went into the middle of them, and said—' Voici le Roi! Ceux qui lui en veulent peuvent s'expliquer avec lui!' " In the rue des Arcis, the King was warned that shots were about to be fired from the windows, but in stead of increasing his pace, he immediately reined in his horse, and went slower. He passed several barricades, but not a single shot was fired at him, and even some men stationed behind them cried Vive le Rui.' " We have heard the following admirable trait of one of the populace, which proves how strongly the people are opposed to the anarchy into which it is sought to drive them. This poor fellow, who was more than half naked, went this morning to Count de Montalivet, and delivered over to him a sum of 10,000 franc., which had been placed in his hands by an unknown person, for the pur pose of being distributed amongst his friends, in order to bribe them to take up arms and join the insurrection. " It is universally believed that the Republicans have been paid with the money of the Girlish!. We are in formed that no less than 250,000 francs have been distri buted, and that for this sum the Republicans consented to deliver up the country to Henry V. They were to make themselves amends for the inadequacy of this reward by plunder. The secret meetings at which this arrangement wds made have been particularized, and the parties of which they were composed have been named." The following proclamation of the Prefect of the Seine was posted yesterday throughout the capital : " Inhabitants of Paris!—The parties inimical to the repose and happiness of France, after having so repeatedly failed in their criminal projects, have once again united to make a desperate effort. The allies of the Chouans and the admirers of Robespierre and Marat have joined hands in the hope of destroying the Government which France has founded, reserving it to themselves hereafter to fight over the ruins of our institutions. The public force and the severe penalties of the law will annihilate this insensate coalition. " Inhabitants of Paris !—You are the primaryguardians of the throne, created by your hearts and raised by your hands, and of those institutions, the centre of which is first t e o v e w r e andill the t fi o r st pro to claim. The National Guards of Paris are under arms, defendplaced w e i , t a h t in wh y i o d u i r y o w u a we lls re thee ou assisted by the National Guards of the Banlieue, and have ming'el man for man with the brave and faithful troops of the line, in marching against the rebels. The King of is acting with unity, firmnes s , an d prompt i tu d e ; our choice hastened within your Vials, and his Govern mentyour Magistrates are in the midst of you, marching with the ensigns of their office at the head of the Citizen Guard. " Inhabitants of Paris !—You achieved the great days, —you will not submit to be deprived of the fruits of them, nor suffer their glory to be tarnished by the seditious acts f men, who are either gres ly of plunler, or the partisans of the dynasty you have expelled. Let every good citizen, who is not in the ranks of the National Guards, hasten to favour their movements and those of the troops who march by their sides,—let those who are unable to render them any effectual aid, at least keep at a distance from the rioters, where their presence forms an obstacle to the movements of the armed force, and the energy of action required by the audacity of the factious. "Inhabitants of Paris !—Be free from alarm—what you have willed, what you have chosen, will subsist; for your will—your choice—have endowed the Government of July with a strength which it will ever know how to display. (Signed) " Comte de BONDY, Peer of France, and Prefect of the Seine. " Paris, June 6." During the day the gardens of the Palais Royal were shut, and nearly all the shops were closed ; but in the evening a great number of them were partially opened. The theatres were not open in consequence of many of the actors being engaged by their duties as National Guards. Up to the hour of going to press, no intelligence of any fresh disturbances had reached us. THURSDAY, One o'clock p.m. Last night there was a brilliant and numerous reception at the Palace of the Tuileries, at which many high per sonages were remarked who had not appeared at Court fur same time. (From the National.) In our paper yes:erday, we gave a true and moderate account of the events which afflicted the capital, after the honours rendered, by 100,000 of the population and the National Guard to the remains of Geeeral Lamarque• That numbf..r of our paper was seined, with precautions
