—(A laugh.) If Old Sarum was to be taken away, • why was Tavistock retained?—it must go--it was an in sult to the nation and a biting sarcasm on their own dis in•erestedness. This Bill was said to come from the House of Lords. What was the House of Lords.—(A laugh ?)--What was it ?—(A laugh.) What was it ? ( A laugh.) It was nothing but a body of living Old Sa rums.—(Roars of laughter.) It mattered not what the House of Lords had been—what was it now ? It was de fiinct.—(A laugh.) The life of a Legislative body was its in dependence. They had destroyed that ; its life was extinct .—it was a defunct corpse—(a laugh)--it was a stink ing carcass—(A laugh)—it was in a state of putrefaction, —a nuisance in the nostrils of the people.—(Great laugh ter.) They were told that the Monarch was for Reform, and that Monarchy and Reform could exist together. So ittiey might, as abstract rights, but could they in any other way There were those who would bring that question before the House, hut he was not the man. This Bill was neither a concession to the demands of the people, nor vas it in the spirit of the times. Had they taken ten of the smallest boroughs, and thrown their franchise into ten larger towns, they would not only have fully met, hut would have exceeded the demands of the people. —(Hear, and no.) They had done more ; and as much as they had exceeded the demands of the people, they had fallen short of the spirit of the age. T hat spirit was against all privileged classes—(Hear and laughter,)—it was against Kings and Nobles—against Priests and Pre. fates—against prerogatives and prescription—against the monopoly of power ; aye, and against the monopoly of riches.—( Hear, hear.) The spirit came upon us from east and west. From the west, from America, where it was deeply rooted, and had become indigenous in the soil ; arid from the East, from France, where, after a fierce struggle of forty years, it was again triumphant.—(Hear, hear.) The nobility and gentry of England had man fully fought the battle, but they were overpowered ; and he would not anticipate the consequences. The Hon. Member concluded by declaring it to be his opinion, that the Members of that House, in passing the present Bill, were betraying their King, betraying their country, and betraying the people who sent them as Representatives to watch over their interest. Lord JOHN RUSSELL—as so much had been said in the course of the debate on the conduct pursued by various Members of the Government, as well as the Government itself, and as insinuations bad been thrown out against himself—felt bound to offer one or two obser vations before the discussion was brought to a termina tion. In the first place he would remark, that one of the principal accusations brought against the Noble Earl at the head of the Government was, that after having pro mised, if the Bill was a read a second time, to allow all fair, and just, and reasonable examinations of its pro visions in Committee, the Noble Earl had, on the very first opportunity, taken means to violate his pledge, arid to compel the House of Lords to adopt the Bill without any alteration or amendment. Now, be (Lord J. Russell) could assure the House, no man desired—that no man desired more earnestly, from the very outset, that the Bill should have every fair and deliberate ex amination, than his Noble Friend did. No man was more anxious to preserve the freedom of debate, and to allow a thorough discussion of the principles of the measure of . . . Reform, but with that reservation which was necessary at once to the preservation of his political character and his personal honour—to the welfare of the people, to the progress of the Bill itself, and to the maintenance of those principles which he had openly pledged himself to his country should remain inviolate. Under such circum stances, and after that vote in the House of Lords, which went at once to overturn the declaration in the preamble of the Bill, lie contended that his Noble Friend had no course left him save that which he had adopted.—(Hear, hear.) He came now to that other accusation against the Government, of having aided and abetted in the extension of commercial distress, andtthe destruction of public con fidence. Without entering into that subject, or attempt ing to defend them against such accusations, he would ask the Hon. Gentlemen opposite 'if they had ever considered the consequences of the other alternative of the subject ? Had they ever looked at what might have been the effect on public credit and public confidence, if one clause of the Bill after another had been erased or mutilated—if, as an Hon. Gentleman near him had properly expressed it, one victory after another had been carried against the people? If the people had seen the Bill reduced to that state, and perhaps at last utterly destroyed, there would then have been the same commercial disorders, the same political agitation, the same violent declamation at the onions, the same incendiary speeches—and, beyond all, that in proportion as the hope of seeing the Bill carried became diminished, the confidence of the people in its supporters would have been destroyed, so that at last they might have arrived at such a melancholy state of things that there would have been no centre of authority left to preserve subordination, and insure the observance of the laws and the tranquillity of the country—(Hear, hear, hear)—while they might rest assured, that as the people were determined to pass the Bill, they would have sought the means of doing so in a course still more violent and more destructive.—(Hear, bear.) The Member for Aldeburgh (Mr. Croker) had adverted to the Proclamation for the suppression of Political Uniena, put forth some time since by the Government, and observed that the intention of the Government had been completely thwarted by those against whom that procla mation was directed. Ile (Lord J. Russell) denied that the proclamation alluded to had been issued against persons who were guilty of an illegal act, in forming themselves into a kind of police force for the preservation of the peace under the direction of their own leader. Against this the pro clamation was directed, because it was illegal ; but when men met under the name of a union, however inconve nient it might prove to the Government that they should do so, he knew no law to prevent them, whether they were assembled as unionists or conservatives (and they might as well call themselves a club as a union)—(A laugh)— whether the Gov•ernrnent could approve of their doctrines or not, so long as they refrained from tittering language which was seditious, he knew not that there was any law to prevent them so assembling, nor could he agree that it was right in the Government to assume a power which the law did not recognise for their suppression. At the same time he had no hesitation is declaring, that political unions, ;f kept up for any length of time in any country, would lead the people to the continuance of an agitation not more injurious to the constituted authorities than to the people themselves, and which would finally, by interfer ing with all their ordinary pursuits, be productive of the greatest mischiefs.—(Hear, hear.) But what did lie infer from this ? Relying on the sound sense and right judgment of the people of England, be was convinced that when they had an opportunity of choosing their own repreeentrtives, who would zealously perform their duty, they would not persist in attending those assemblages to the injury of themselves, the Government, and the Con stitution itself.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he felt it necessary to say, that as far as the present Government were concerned, this measure they considered a final one. This, indeed, as they had declared at first, would be one of the results of the carrying the whole Bill ; for if they bad succeeded in carrying bet a part of it, they must have again and again agitated the question till the necessary Reform was accomplished. Having •o carried, he sew a better, and indeed a roost satisfactory security against fur ther change, because both those who supported, and those who opposed it, were alike determined to go no further, but to use their best efforts to preserve the renovated Con stitution entire and unimpaired.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL, amid loud cries of Question, said he supported the amendments because the Bill had come down from the Lords with a greater extension of Fran. chise, and a broader basis of principle than when it was sent up there. Lord SANDON, without renewing the protest he bad already made against many parts of the Bill, begged to ask, as he considered it most important, whether it was the in tention of the Government to give charters to these new boroughs created by the Bill ? Lord J. RUSSELL said the subject had been under consideration for some time, but he apprehended, that in every case they would not be able to get their charters before they would be called upon to exercise the privilege now conferred on them. The amendments were then read and agreed t, , , and Lord Althorp, Lord John Russell, and others ordered to carry the Bill back to the Lords. • SCOTCH REFORM BILL. The House then went into a Committee on the Scotch Reform Rill. On the thirteenth clause being read, Sir G. CLERK objected to the method of registering the voters as altogether inadequate to the object, and re commended that they should either adopt the English system of appointing barristers to each district, or else re fer the matter to the Commissioners of Supply. He com plained, too, of the price of the registration of the Scotch voters being greater than that of the English. The LORD ADVOCATE thought that the arrange ment of barristers registering the votes would not be found advisable in Scotland ; and with respect to the fee of Cs., he thought that it was much fairer that that should fall on the persons benefited than on the public. Sir G. WARRENDER thought that to leave tEis matter in the hands of the Sheriff would be overburdening that office with work. Lord .ALTHORP coneented to the I,osti,onement of the (gauge, in order that the question might be more thoroughly onsidered. The further consideration of the clause was then post poned. The Ilth clause was also postponed, without discussion. The 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th clauses were then agreed to, as were the 20th, 21st, and 2ed. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again this day. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past Two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 5. Lord TENTERDEN sat as Speaker at Five o'clock. Mr. BERNAL, Lord STANLEY, Lord NIORPFTH, and others, brought the following Bills up from the Commons. The Army Prize-money Bill, the Militia Ballot Sus pension Bill, Thetford Assizes Removal Bill, and the Bris• tol Riots Compensation Bill. GRAVESEND PIER BILL. The report of the Select Committee on this Bill was brought up, and the Marquess of SA usuult y moved that it be agreed to. Earl DARNLEY moved that the Bill be recommitted, on the ground that the Committee had not received all the evidence that could be adduced in support of it. The Noble Marquess opposite (Salisbury) had endeavoured to de preciate the importance of the Bill, by telling the Com mittee that it would only be of use to a few market eardeners, who brought tip vegetables by the steam-boats ftoni Gravesend to London. The fact was, that last year upwards of 120,000 persons landed at Gravesend from the steam boats, and 40,000 more would have done so, had not the better accommodation for landing at Nortlifleet induced them to stop at that place. It was attempted to show that the petition was of no im portance, because two signatures had not been genuine. The petitioners were ready, if an opportunity were afforded to them, to prove the great importance and public utility of the pier. The Noble Lord then moved, as an amendment, the recommittal of the Bill. Lord BERESFORD opposed it. The proposed pier would be a decided obstruction to the navigation of the river, and would lead to much inconvenience. The Eirl of RADNOR contended that the Bill had not Wen duly considered in the Committee, and supported the amendment. The Marquess of SALISBURY opposed it. Lord STRANGFORD did not oppose going into the Committee, as he was convinced that the more the matter was examined,the more useless would this Bill appear to be. Lord WHARNCLIFFE proposed that the Committee up stairs should sit again. _ _ The Bill was then recommitted to the same Committee as before. NORFOLK ASSIZES. Lord Sf!JFFIELD moved the first reading of the Nor folk Assizes Bill, and gave notice that he would move the second reading on Friday. RUSSIAN DUTCH LOAN. Lord WYNFORD observed that it had been his inten tL,n to bring forward a motion on the subject of the pay ments made by this country under the Russian Dutch Loan, but understanding that it had been stated in an other place, that the payments had been suspended, he was desirous to get some information as to how that matter stood, as he was unwilling to take up the time of their Lordships unnecessarily. The LORD CHANCELLOR was in a situation to give his Noble and Learned Friend the desired information. The payments had not, properly speaking, been suspended, but had been superseded by a new arrangement, which had been agreed upon, but not yet ratified, and which, when ratified, would be laid before Parliament, and then Govern ment would have to come to Parliament for powers to carry the arrangement into effect, when the whole question might be considered. Lord WYNFORD said that in that case he would pro• bably not think it necessary to bring forward his motion. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. Lord lITYNFORD brought in a Bill to prevent bribery at elections. He had intended to move them as amend ments to another Bill that had passed their Lordships' House, and which contained no provision on this subject ; hut having been prevented from doing that, he now brought them in in the shape of a separate Bill. One of the pro visions was to make the giving presents, after the election, bribery. The Duke of RICHMOND gave the Noble and Learned Lord to understand, that Lord John Russell had given notice of his intention to bring a Bill into the other House on the subject of bribery at elections, and it would be better that such a Bill should originate in the other House. Lord WYNFORD stated that"the first Bill on this sub ject had originated in this House, and that it was perfectly constitutional. But at the same time he would postpone bringing in his Bill till he saw whether that of Lord John Russell would answer his purpose: The LORD CHANCELLOR—There could be no ob jectio❑ to having the Noble and Learned Lord's Bill read a first time, and printed in the meantime. Lord HOLLAND—The Bill of 1726, to which the Noble and Learned Lord alluded, did not originate in this House, but in the House of Commons. It was a Bill by which the Commons claimed for themselves—and properly claimed—the sole right to decide on elections for boroughs. To this Bill several Peers in that House had a strong ob jection, and they racked to it some clauses about bribery at elections, in order to g, t rid of the Bill altogether, in the hope that the Commons would throw out the Bill when so accompanied. But the Commons, anxious to attain their main object, overlooked the irregularity, and agreed to the clauses ; so that the Noble and Learned Lord's precedent quite failed him. It was agreed that the Bill should be read a first time and printed. The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice that it was the intention of his Noble Friend the President of the Council to move to-morrow the suspension of the standing order JO, on the General Cemetery Bill.

The Earl of ROSEBERRY thought it would be suffi cient to postpone the Committee till Friday next, in order to insure its passing this session. The Earl of CAMPERDOWN concurred in this opi nion, and observed, that a similar Bill had already passed this House, and hail been lost in the Commons by the pro• rogation. The Duke of HAMILTON deprecated the making rash innovations in the Scotch law, merely to assimilate it to the English law, as the foundations were entiiely dif ferent. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Neither this, nor the Bill for reducing the number of the Court of Session to thirteen, had any such effect. As to the Bill, it only went to put an end to sinecure judicial appointments. The average number of defended causes in the Exchequer had been, of late years, only two in each year; and it was therefore proposed that a Judge of the Court of Ses sion shoulti do the duty at a small increase of salary, while a judicial appintment of 4,000/. a year, and another of 2,000/. a year, would be put an end to. After a few words from Lord Ifor.r.AND and the Earl of ilanntxcroN, it was agreed that the Bill should be committed on Friday next. The British Museum Bill went through the Committee. Report to-morrow. The Vice-Admiralty Courts Abolition Bill also went through the Committee. The other Bills on the table passed through their dif ferent stages, and the House adjourned until Half-past Two to-morrow. Lord J. RUSSELL has intimated that on Thursday, June 14, he will apply for leave to bring in a Bill for the better prevention of bribery and corruption at the election of Members to serve in Parliament. This will be the seventh Bill on the subject of Reform ; the other six are—l. The English Reform Bill ;2. The Boundaries (England) Bill ; 3. The Reform (Scotland) Bill ; 4. The Boundaries (Scotland) Bill ; 5. The Re form (Ireland) Bill ; 6. The Boundaries (Ireland) Bill ; and al! to be passed this Sesaion, besides disposing of the Civil List charges, Bank Charter, West India Question, &c. TITHES IN LONDON.—At Guildhall, yes terday, the Rev. Mr. BECKWITH, Rector of St. Albans, Wood-street, and St. Olave, Silver-street, summoned Mr. S. CLEASBY, of ,Broad—treet, for 26/. 195., being an arrear of 29 quarters of tithes due on three tenements be longing to him in Silver-street. The houses were burnt down 10 years since, and not having since been rebuilt, Mr. CLEASBY had refused to pay tithes. The Rector limited his claim to the arrears for seven years, due at Chlistmas last. After arguments had been heard on both sides, Mr. Alderman KELLY said he thought it his duty to dismiss the summons. He though; that as long as there was no occupation of premises there should be no tithe. No ;tithe was paid in the country on an unoccupied farm, and he did not see why a piece of ground on which there was no house should pay tithe. Such summonses were not beneficial to the cause of the clergy. The Counsel who attended on behalf of Mr. BECKWITH said he would certainly apply for a distress warrant against Mr. CLEASBY to the Barons of the Court of Exchequer, as the Act if Parliament directed, .NGE YESTERDAY.

His MAJESTY held a Court and Levee this day at St. James's Palace, which was numerously attended. We were in error yesterday in stating that a Privy Council would be held after the Levee ; upon authority, we now state, that no Council will be held, and that on Wednesday or Thursday next, his MAJESTY will give his Assent to the Bill. The Lords Amendments to the Reform Bill were last night agreed to by the House of Com mons. Previously however, there was a smart, and somewhat personal discussion on the " horrid measure," in which Sir R. PEEL, as usual, eminently distinguished himself. But the hero of the evening was Mr. FANE, son and heir, we believe, of that plumpest of Earls, Lord WESTMORLAND. This ge nius was wondrously animated, and poured forth the words of wisdom and prophecy • with a vehemence and volubility that occasioned uni versal merriment. The House shook with laughter at his gravities, but subsided into per fect stillness when he essayed the facetious. Great occasions produce great men, and it must be consoling to the Ultra-Tories, in this their hour of tribulation, to reflect that to the passing of the Reform Bill, they owe the development of Mr. FANE's transcendant intellect. The speech of Sir R. PEEL was just what might have been expected. He was astonished —your small wits are always astonished at every thing—at the conduct of Ministers ; grieved to the soul at the triumph of the " horrid" Bill ; and apprehensive that the worst was yet to come. Of the House of Lords he spoke in a way that might have drawn tears from a flint, and twaddled exceed ingly about the Political Unions, and the late:re fusal, on the part of the people, to pay taxes. We always like Sir ROBERT best when he is most sen timental, for there is a mild imbecility in his pathos that reminds its forcibly of the mob-cap and sto macher. Old women prose over their " rheumatiz " in precisely the same style that the " PEEL of PEELS" weeps over the triumph of the Re formers. Alas for our Ex-Home-Secretary ! The glory of the spinning-jennies is extinguished for ever. Never more will Sir ROBERT be what he has been. The party which first raised him far, far above his level, now exists but in name, and the " Second PlTT"—as the rising young champion of intolerance • was once called—must hence forth stand on his own merits. Unfortunately for himself, these merits are of the flimsiest, the most unstable character. He might stand on the . surface of an Irish bog, with quite as much chance of a permanent footing. The fact is, the age has outgrown Sir R. PEEL, and looks back at him with contempt, as he comes.,, limp ing painfully behind it. Whatever talent he may originally have possessed, has been long since cramped and blighted by a systematic course of intolerance. A bustling age like the present, in which new habits of thought and feeling are daily bursting into leaf, is calculated only to make him stare. He cannot understand it, but gets perplexed and bewildered like a man in a labyrinth. Give him a plain every day matter of fact to argue, and he will do it with passable ingenuity ; but set him to grapple with a great comprehensive question which calls for the exercise of foresight, which demands an expansive reach of intellect, and the application of a sound and liberal philosophy, and he will fail, miserably, irretrievably fail. His whole conduct on the Reform Question has been a blunder from first to last, such as no statesman who aspired to a name in history, could possibly have been guilty of. But Sir ROBERT, we repeat, is no st a t esman, as t h e world, and even he himself, are just now begin ning to find out. Our readers will find in another part of The Sun some curious particulars from the Cow rier Fran ails of Saturday, respecting the late fran tic proceedings of the Carlists, with the Du chess DE BERRI at their head, in La Vendee. LOUIS-PHILIPPE is now reaping the:fruit of C: PER 'ER'S juste milieu system, who on every late public demonstration of dissatisfaction, never failed to treat the Carlists with as much injudicious lenity as he showed bigoted rancour towards the Press and the Movement party. We predict no very protracted reign for the last, and by no means the wisest, of the BOURBONS. They are a doomed race. Lisbon Papers have been received : their contents are of no moment, consisting chiefly of wholesale abuse of what they call, " the lying, radical" English Journals. Now that the battle is won, and the enemies of freedom completely disarmed, the rage of the defeated party is beyond all hounds. Their at tacks on Ministers—their rabid vituperations against the first characters of the land, and, above all, their maledictions on those who, in their opinion, have annihilated the House of Peers, excite, not the anger, but the pity and regret of every rational and disinterested mind. To charge Ministers with trampling on the Peers is more absurd than to say, in the lan guage of CA ST LEREA G 11, the Peers have trampled on themselves. Would a stranger, on going into either House, where these tirades have been carried on night after night, and on no oc casion more furiously than in the Commons last night, be at any loss on a careful analysis of the debates to attach the blame to the proper quarter? The charge in fact against Ministers is so utterly unfounded, that one must sup pose those who make it either not serious or infatuated by the grossest folly. Whether looking at the primary or proximate cause of this degradation of the House of Peers, no impartial judge can deny that the Anti-Re forming Peers have been at the bottom of all the mischief. Reform may be said to be the primary cause; and what raised the universal outcry for it, but the mad declaration that no Reform was necessary ? Had the Conser vative Party, two years ago, acted with common foresight—had they not been as blind as the mud walls of Old Sarum—they would have watched the aspect of the times and yielded, but not without manliness, to the storm collecting around them. At that period had the Duke of WELLINGTON come forward candidly, and stated that Reform being inevitable, he was ready to grant a measure even more extensive than any ever proposed by Lord J. RUSSELL, thegreat body of the people would have been satisfied—one-half of the small boroughs now blotted out for ever would still have been allowed to return a Member—the nation would have been spared the throes and convulsions which have shaken it for the last eighteen months, and the independence of the Peers would have been preserved. Looking at the proximate cause, there is even less doubt where to attach blame. After the general election—after the forty counties of England had returned Members all determined Reformers except six, and Scotland, ivhicti every one admits is little better than one rotten borough, had returned a majority in favour of the measure, who could doubt its ulti mate success? Even the elder BANK ES, with his high Tory principles and the bigotry of his party, foresaw the result, and on losing his election exclaimed with prophetic sagacity, " The Bill is carried." Majority after ma jority in the Commons carried the measure triumphantly through that House, and the House of Lords, the very strong. hold of Toryism, ac ceded to the principles of the Bill—yet the con servative party were still blind—they madly struggled against a whole nation, till that na tion rose like one man, and with its breath scattered them as chaff before the wind. Had that party, at the great crisis, the second reading, come manfully forward anti admitted the folly of contending against a united people, they would have been revered by their countrymen, their order would have been placed on an imperish able foundation, and our beloved SOVEREIGN would have been, as he was till he listened to their fatal advice, the idol and delight of the nation. These are the men who have trampled on the SOVEREIGN, and undeservedly alienated the affections of his people. We say unde servedly, for the KING throughout has been stanch in the cause—he was the soul of of it from the beginning, his dissolution of Pa liament sealed its fate, and even when in the hands of his enemies, he insisted on an extensive measure of Reform. When all the circum stances of the case are fully known—when the people learn how their SOVEREIGN has been tormented in season and out of season, they will then do him justice, and lay the blame on the proper quarter,—on those men who, for their own selfish purposes, have trampled on the Crown, and brought the country to the brink of a revolution. In our Guildhall Police Report this morning, our readers will see another beautiful illustration of that cormorant appetite, that harpy voracity for tithes which Churchmen are so prone, at all times and under all circumstances, to exhibit. A Mr. STEPHEN CLEASBY, of Broad-street, was yes terday brought before Mr. Alderman KELLY for refusing to pay to the Rev. Mr. BECKWITH, the Rector of St. Alban's, Wood -street, and St. Olave, Silver-street, the sum of 26/. 18s., being an arrear of twenty : nine quarters' tithes, due on certain tenements in Silver-street. The edifying and most characteristic feature of this case is, that the houses for which the tithes were claimed, were burned down ten years ago ; and no twithstanding that the ground has ever since lain a blank space, producing not one shilling income, yet the Rev. Pluralist has actually the face to demand the tithe arrears for seven years ; even though at the present moment there are no materials on the ground on which such arrears may be levied ! After hearing the particulars of this most flagrant case, Mr. Alderman KELLY very wisely refused a warrant to distrait', observing at the same time, that " there was a sore feeling among the people, and when such claims as this were set up, it was calculated to make them ob ject to pay anything to the clergy." Sore feel ing ! To be sure there is. And one that will rankle in the public mind till the cause that gave rise to it is removed. What right, in common sense or justice, whatever he may have in law, has the Rev. Pluralist of St. Olave's, &c. to tithes on tenements ttiat do not exist —nay, that not only do not exisr, hut that actually have not existed for ten years ? With quite as much propriety may the Rector of Hampstead demand tithes for the vast mass of buildings with which, some day or other, Sir THomAs M. WILSON proposes to disfigure the Heath It was evi dently the intention of the Legislature that there should be a beneficial occupation to render pro perty liable to tithe. But here there is nothing of the sort, nothing that even the most expert legal quibbling can torture into a beneficial oc cupation. It is painful to reflect that clergymen seldom come under public notice, except in con nexion with some grasping, unpopular transaction. They are rarely conspicuous, except by bigotry or avarice. As Bishops, they make a point of setting their faces against every thing their countrymen have most at heart ; as rectors, vicars, &c. they are notorious for the dexterity with which they fleece their flocks, and win their hostility in return. It will never be well for England, till the whole Church Establishment has been subjected to an AngTan process of purification, till the whole system of tithes is put on a more enlightened and more satisfactory footing.

Intelligence has just reached us that the officers of jus tice have succeeded in apprehending the villain Cook, the murderer of the unfortunate Mr. Paas, at Leicester. He was arrested in the purleus of Liverpool, on Monday night last. 'We have not time to give further particulars, but to-morrow we shall be able to lay the whole before our readers. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWEL YE 0' CLOCK The only arrival this morning of any consequence is a Lisbon mail, which tiailed• on" the 274 May. The papers only contain an account of the preparations of a grand procession of priests for the prevention of the cholera. We hear that an express has arrived from Paris, bringing the French prices much the same as the last ac counts, with no political news of consequence. The Con sul Market is rather in a stagnant state, and Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, SA for the account; at present they are Bq, We hear that a manifesto of Don Miguel is in town. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. We have received by express from Paris the Quoti dienne of Monday, the 4th of June, from which we copy the following _ . . " The King of Bavaria is to arrive at Munich the sth or Gth of June, from Italy. " The Russian General, Barclay de Tolly, has arrived at Berlin from St. Petersburgh. " It appears that the Liberals in Germany begin to be alarmed at the dispositions of the Cabinet of Berlin.— Frankfort, May 30. " Le MANS, MAY 3I.—A r,port prevails here that a band of 600 Chouans had disarmed the National Guard of Vaise. " They write from Laval of the 31st of May, that on Monday, the 24. th, 300 Chouans were perceived in the canton of Meslay ; 200 men assembled under the command of Lamotte on the 26th. The Chouans were concentrated to the number of 600 ; they were surrounded in a small wood at dawn of day, and were attacked and defeated ; they lost about 200 men. ‘ ..g FRENCH FITNDS.-Three per Cents., for money, '7of. 35c. ; for time, '7of. 40c. ; Five per Cents., 97f. tiOc." No news of importance in the above paper. The Funds continue heavy during the whole of the morning, with little or nothing doing. Consols remain at nearly the same price they opened, 85i for the account. The public are anxious to learn if his Majesty intends to go in person to the House to sign the Reform Bill, which appears to be the general wish of the citizens. The express from Paris is not of importance, except as to the prices of the French Funds, which are lower a few cents; for money, Three per Cents., 70f. 35c. ; for time, '7of. 35e. In one part of La Vendee, it appears, that 600 of the Chouans made a stand, but were defeated with some loss. In the Foreign market nothing doing—prices much the same as yesterday. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for account 851. We understand that Lord PALMERSTON has returned from Windsor, decorated with the Ribbon of the Bath. The Noble Lord has doubtless to thank us for this honour, if it be one. The recent appointments, evincing as they do a determination to persevere in a course of Tory favouritism, are doubtless mote to the taste of the Court than they are to our own, or, what is really of importance, to that of the people. As such they me rited a reward, and a more appropriate one than the dis tinction of becoming a G. C. 8., or whatever the thing is called, could surely be bestowed. By the by, the Order of the Garter might, indeed, have been more suited to the Noble Lord's taste, whilst the motto is undoubtedly re quired for his acts.—Morning Chronicle. The death of the Rev. EDWARD BURY, who died last week at Ardencaple Castle, the seat of his brother in-law, Lord JOHN CAMPBELL, has thrown several Noble families into mourning, inc'uding those of the Duke of ARGYLL, Earl of UXBRIDGE, Lord TULLAMORE, and Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL (brother to the Duke of BED FORD), and also that of Mr. WALTER FREDERICK CAMP BELL, M.P. for Argyleshire, who is a son of Lady CHARLOTTE BURY by her first marriage with Colonel rank, CAMPBELL, of Sbawfield.

The Loan CumscELLon. resumed his seat in Court at ten o'clock this day. His Lordship was unattended by any use except his own usual officers and attendants. He proceeded at once, and without making any address, to the bar to hear motions. THE SUN XEWSPAPER. YOUNC V. THORNTON AND OTHERS; AND WINVHFsTER AND OTHERS V. YOUNG. Sir EDWARD SUCIDEN stated that he was instructed to apply that these two causes might be set down in his Lord. ship's paper. The other side consented to this arrange ment, and the ground of the application was, that in truth the causes had already been very fully heard by this branch of the Court upon a motion for an Injunction on behalf of the plaintiffs, in the list-mentioned cause, against the defendant, and which his Lordship had dismissed. It was necessary that the two causes should be heard together, and unless they were ordered to he set down here, they would in the regular course of things go before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no objection to hear them. Sir E. SUCHEN next observed, that the only question then would be, what day they should be set down for? The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, perhaps, the bettor way would be to order generilly that theyshould be put into his paper, without at present naming any particular thy. Sir E. SecuEN thought it would be better to leave it to the parties to agree among themselves upon some day. IN RE LIEBERWOOD, A LUNATIC . Mr. PALEY applied on behalf of the committee of the person, to be allowed certain payments which he had made in pu►suance of a testamentary document left by the parent of the deceased, which, however, had not formed part of his bill, but which the committee had paid twelve months after the decease, end before the issuing of the commission. The Master had reported in favour of the claim, but not having the power to allow it according to the strict rules of his office, he could only, as he had done, recommend it to the favourable consideration of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR saw ❑o reason why the amount should not he paid to the Committee, and accord ingly ordered the payment to be made. SITTINGS. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that he will sit as usual in the House of Lords to hear appeals on Mondays and Fridays. Next week, the \Vhitsun holydayr applying t• the House of Lords and net to this Court, he will not, however, go on with this arrangement, here then, but sit here eve!), day next week. The week afterwards being the week after Term, he will be able to make up the sit tings in the House for the loss of the non-sittings nex Monday and Friday, Sir EDWARD SIiGDEN said, it would be very conveni• • ent if the bar could know before hand according to what arrangement the Lords would hear the appeals. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that he found he could give no more than two days a week to the hear ing of the appeals in the House of Lords, but that he would consider whether alternate weeks could not be de voted to the hearing of Scotch, and to the hearing of English and Irish appeals, and afterwards let the bar know. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MEUX'S BREWERY.--.LATIIASI V. BARNETT. Mr. PEMBER'TON stated, on this cause being called on, that the Court would recollect it stood over for the pur pose of giving the parties an opportunity of canting to compromise ; all hopes, however, of any arrangement be ing at an end, the cause must now come on for hearing, unless the Court thought the objection he was about to take was conclusive. The bill was files by Mr. Latham, who was a partner in the brewery of Meux acid Co., for the purpose of having the accounts of the partnership taken, and a valuation made of the property of the part nership, which consisted of public-houses and other ar ticles, to the value of between three and four Ifilndred thousand pounds. Among the partners of the firm of Meux and Co. was a gentleman named Prior, who, at the time of filing the bill was solvent, and was therefore made a defendant, together with the other partners in the concern, but since the original bill was filled, and the an swer put in, Prior bad become bankrupt, and the articles of partnership provided, if a partner during the time of the partnership became a bankrupt or insolvent, then the other partners should be at libertyto purchase his share in the con cern upon certain terms: those terms were, that the share should be taken on the last • Valuatiita, and upon pay- • meat of that sum by instalments, the other partners, if they should think fit, should be at liberty to purChase his share. Upon the bankruptcy of Prior, Latham filed a supplemental bill, stating that bankruptcy, and praying that the share of Prior might he purchased upon the terms mentioned in the deed of partnership. During the pen dency of that suit the assignees of Prior became desirous of selling his share to the partners upon terms which varied a little from the partnership deed. By the part nership deed it was to be taken at the last valuation, and the sums were to be paid by instalments, but the as signees were desirous to have immediate payment on making a compensation. Unfortunately, Mr. Latham and his partners were on such terms that Mr. Latham could not be induced, either to assent or dissent, from that agreement ; and Mr. Latham's share in the part nership being considerable in comparison with the other partners, Sir Henry Meux, Mr. Barnett, and Mr. Bennett, agreed to purchase from Prior's assignees his share, upon tel which they considered beneficial to the concern. A deed was prepared for that pur pose, to which the parties were unable to procure either the assent or dissent of Mr. Latham ; and under !inch a state of circumstances, the Learned Counsel con sidered it absolutely necessary that Mr. Latham should either elect to take under the deed, or file a bill to set it aside. Mr. Latham bad pursued neither of those courses, nor had he Sled any supplemental bill to bring the new state of facts before the Court, under such circum stances it was impossible the cause could now be pro ceeded with. The Learned Counsel was more anxious to insist on his objection, because, supposing a decree to be made directing the account, they would have to be taken at an enormous expense, the present partnership expiring in July twelvemonths, at which period it would be ne cessary to have the account taken over again. It w as to the interest of all parties the cause should be postponed. Mr. BECKERSTETII considered the proposition of Mr. Pemberton a very reasonable one, and assented to the cause standing over, his client, in the m.antime filing a supple mental bill, for the purpose of bringing the matter before the Court.
