EVENING EDITION. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. The following is the Address of the Leeds Parlia mentary Reform Association to the Committee and Members of the Ulster Constitutional Association : FELLOW REFORMERS,—The cause in which you have engaged for the establishment of the People's rights upon the sound principles of public liberty, deserves the warmest sympathy and support of every friend of con stitutional freedom. The interest which we feel in the success of your labours, induces us to take advantage of the invitation to union and co-operation held out to the friends of liberty in all parts of the empire, in the reso lutions passed at your late public meeting ; and we ac cordingly address you shortly upon the means which we consider most likely to produce a united and successful agitation for the establishment of the public rights upon a firm and lasting basis. The Ulster Association affords a most gratifying proof of the willingness of the higher and middle classes of Ireland to unite in defence and support of the popu lar liberties. The circumstances of our times, how ever, demand that a political movement of the nature contemplated, should also afford a sufficient inducement for the co-operation of the industrious working classes throughout the three kingdoms. It-is only by such a Union, we apprehend, that a moral power can be raised sufficient to overcome the opposition of the abettors of misrule, and carry forward triumphantly the cause of rational liberty and progressive civilisation. Good government requires as its primary essential, the responsibility of governors to the great body of the governed. The only legitimate end of government is the good of the mlny ; and all classes have a common interest in securing its proper results, and in preserving its integrity and soundness. To the people, therefore, Government ought to be directly responsible through means of a well devised system of Parliamentary Re presentation, as the best mode of securing for all classes, ust, honest, and wholesome legislation. The theory of the British Constitution is, that poli tical freedom is based on political representation ; and that no man shall be taxed for the support of the State who has not consented, by himself or his repre sentatives, to the imposition of the public taxes. But how stand the facts? That in England the franchise is held on an average by one out of every Ifq of the gross population ; in Scotland, by one out of every 30 ; and in Ireland, by only I out of every 77!—That in . . England 1 in 5 of the male adult population is repre sented ; in Scotland only I in 7 ; and in Ireland only 1 in 19 !--'That, in short, of those fully qualified to vote accordinc , to the spirit of the constitution above referred to, about ' six-sevenths are wholly unrepresented. But this is not all. There is yet the farther injus tice of gross partiality even in the representation of that limited portion of the people already enfran chised. Thus the 284 electors of Richmond (York shire 4 have an equal number of Members with the 5,894 elctors of the borough of Leeds ; the gross po pulation represented being in the one case 3,900, and in the other 123,393 ;* while the 227 electors of Knaresborough have precisely the same voice in the British Parliament, with the 29,000 electors of the 'West Riding of Yorkshire ! The following table shows that 25 boroughs, con taining a population of little more than 100,000 inhabi tants, return to Parliament fifty Members ; while Leeds, with a considerably larger population, only re turns two Members Members.

Yet Glasgow, with its population of about 800,000, has only the same number of Members as the obscure English villages of Wallingford, Thetford, Rich mond, &c., above noted I But the representation of Ireland, as compared with England and Scotland, is more unfair even than this. The representation of Ireland is truly in a wretched state, and stands need of a searching and Radical Reform. In thi. first place it has not its fair share of Members, as is sufficiently proved by the fact, that Eng land and Wales, with 14,000,000 of population, have 500 Members ; while Ireland, with 8,500,000, has only 105 Members! The principality of Wales, with its en tire population of about 800,000, has fifteen County Members alone ; while the County of Cork, with its Fe pnlation of 715,000, has only two representatives in the British Legislature ! Shameful and odious disparity!! The representation already apportioned to Ireland is also very unequally distributed. Thus the fifteen boroughs of Carlow. Cashel, Coleraine, Dungannon. Mallow, New Ross, Portarlington, Tralee, Wexford, and Youghal, containing a collective population of about 130,000, have 15 members, while the City of Dublin, with a population of nearly 300,000, returns only 2 members ! The following table exhibits the disproportion of re presentatives to population more clearly : Population, Population, Members: Towns. 1831 : Members Towns. 1831. 1 ... Dungannon 3,515 2 ...

The shame ful disproportion between representatives and popula• thin is too obvious as to require comment ; and it can net fail to be noted by the most superficial observer that the House. of Commons, as at present constituted, does represelt, much more than it did in the days of rotten boroughs and packed Parliaments, the opinions and wishes of the great mass of the people. It was lately stated by Mr. Joseph Hume, the Member for Ic..iikenny, in the House of Commons, that from a careful analysis which had been made, it appeared that 347 Members, being a majority of the House of Com mono, were elected by 180,603 electors ; and that thus somewhat more than one-fifth of the whole of 036,272 registered electors, or one-fortieth of the whole male population of 6,1-16,468, of 20 years or upwards ; or 1-141 th of the gross population of the United King dom, returned a majority of representatives to the House of Commons, at the present time! When to this unequal distribution of the representation are added the numerous obstacles thrown in the way of the free exercise of the franchise, hampered and clogged as it is Fly the times and modes of registration ; the fscilitics thereby afforded to the enemies of responsible govern ment (which they are not slow to seize) of circumscrib ing the operation of the representative principle ; the in timidation and corrupt influence which is systematically practised upen electors in the exercise of the franchise, and from which they have no adequate protection ; the conviction must force itself upon the mind of every reasonable person, that there exists no real, ho nest, just, or equit a bl e re p resentat i on o f t h e peop l e of the United people of Great Britain and Ireland. The present system of representation is not teal, be cause it excludes the great mass of the adult popula tion from the exercise of the franchise. It . honest, because it refuses to the vast majority ll o is f t n h o e r cople the right of voting the taxes which and of mal-slitg the la i i: s s t, w b l e li c c a h us t e hey it are recituir}e'd pay, o observe. It is not represents only partial inteecats, and nut the wishes cf the me j ori• • of the people. And finally, it i s no t equitable I;s' CUM it condemns Ireland to so shamefully dispropor tionate a share in the rep resentat i on of the country, When the people contend e d f or t h e Reform 13d1,the c ontended for a rea l and n ot a mere nominal thi n ! They wanted House of Comm ons w hi c h should 17:: the genuine representative of the peoples wishes. But from that House, as now constituted, the great mass of the people is wholly excluded ; and the necessity f or Reform, therefore, remains as urgent as b_ i before. It is obvious, then, that we stand in need o f a remedy, and the question then comes to b —ln wh a t is such i a remedyto coniist, and how is it to be wrought out? 'rho present extofNlingly limited nature of the fran chise, in England, Scotland, and especially in Ireland, obviously suggests the necessity of some large and com prehensive measure f or the extension of the Suffrage ; Which shall embrace the entire of the three kingdoms, without respect of district, of race, of class, of sect, of Party. In order to include the majority ,maleof the adult .Pqouliqion of the country constitution within the pale of the arid to give to all classes a direct interest in the mainteeme. o f crnn the right o f voti e .--(- governm cut, we propose that in the inh a bi tant be vested househ o lders Members of P a rliament simple and of the country. With a vul 1 IA test of qualification, such as resi- • This is the population according to the census of 1831. The present population of Leeds is supposed to amount to upwards of I 50,000. enu- That of the towns not exceed 120,000. I:aerated would probably dence for a certain period, and an easy and intelligible system of registration, the great body of the people would he admitted to a voice in the imposition of the taxes which they pay, and in the making of the laws which they obey. The ancient system of voting in this coun ry was householder suffrage ; and the Reform Bid WA merely a partial return to that system with a limit- tion to houses of 101. value. " I contend," said Earl Grey, in his speech in the House of Lords, in introducing the Reform Bill—" I contend that the right of voting in inhabitant householders is the ancient right of voting under the constitution of this country. V By the pre sent Bill this right is re-introduced. The Bill confers the right of voting upon the resident householders of the borough ; but then it limits that right to resident householders of 101. a-year. Thus, then, the Bill, so far from introducing a new right, does, in fact, merely restore, with a limitation, our old acknowledged right." We contend for Household Suffrage, however, not so much on the ground that it is ancient as that it is just, fair, and equitable ; and that it is the common interest of the people that they should possess it. Such a mea sure, we conceive, would give vitality to the principle of representation in our Constitution ; and the spirit of the British people would thus be fairly transfused into, and become an active and operative part of the British Government. Second. In crdcr to secure the protection of the voter from the corruption of the wealthy and the in timidations of the powerful, we propose that the elec tions should be by Ballot. The possession of the riglit of Saffrage, necessarily involves the power of its uncon trolled exercise, and the secret mode of voting appears to us to be one of the means most likely to ensure the political independence of the elector. Third. The present extreme inequality in the repre sentation of certain districts in England, Scotland, and especially the unfair apportionment of representatives to the latter portion of the United Kingdom,—renders im peratively necessary a re-distribution of the electoral districts, so as to give to the electors of all parts of the country representatives in propertion to their numbers ; thus securing perfect fairness and equality in the repre sentation. Fourth. As it is for the interest and advantcge of the people as well as their representatives, that they should be brought into frequent contact ; and because it would be more conducive to public safety and ensure the confidence of the people, we tecommend that the duration of Parliaments should be shortened to a period not exceeding three years. Fifth. We further propose the abolition of the pro perty qualification for Members, as in Scotland ; and that the approbation of the constituency should be con sidered as the sole and sufficient test of qualific..!ion. Such, we consider, are the measures of refomr upon which the moral power of the people of England Scot land, and Ireland, may be successfully united is order to carry on ther,workof progressive civilisation, and • cure for all classes the important results of good govern aent, equal laws, impartial justice, and entire civil and re:i gious liberty. We do not hold up our scheme as immaculate or un objectionable. There can be no plan which may be pronounced as in all respects perfect. Our object has been to select that which, while it is based on first prin ciples, we conceive to offer the greatest balance of ad vantages in its favour, with the smallest liability to abuse. We consider that its realisation would effect equal advantages to Ireland as to England and Scotland. Our earnest desire, as must be that of all men of ge nuine liberal sentiments, is, to see the union made per fect between Great Britain and Ireland, and we feel assured that the only link which can permanently retain us in beneficial connection, is equal justice. And when the Reformers of the three kingdoms shall have suc ceeded in obtaining such an improvement in the elec tive franchise as shall insure the election of sound men by honest constituencies, then Ireland will have no cause to complain of English apathy ; and useful reforms will no longer incur the risk of being checked by the dominancy of any political party or faction. With these views, Fellow Reformers of Ulster, we are disposed to hail the overtures of union and co operation which you hold out to English Reformers, with unmixed satisfaction and delight. In our turn we would urge upon you the necessity of adopting some fixed and definite basis upon which to combine the Liberal strength of the three kingdoms. The mere annunciation of general principles has ceased to satisfy the movement party. They must have something specific, as a standard to rally round. Neither is it enough that you courageously resist the Stanley party in their crusade against the rights of the people of Ireland. You must adopt the initiative ; and set on foot practical measures of reform and improvement. Whilst you oppose injustice, you must also carry forward tie cause of liberty. Aiming at the prevention of evil, you must also labour as earnestly for the accomplishment of actual good. Above all, fellow Reformers, we would strongly urge upon your consideration, the necessity of instituting such measures as may unite in your support the indus trial mass s of these kingdoms. The union of the higher and middle classes is not enough to accomplish any great social or political reforms without the additional aid of the working classes. They have a deep interest in . the improved government of the country ; and we beli ye them cordially disposed, at the present time, to unite with any party really in earnest in their efforts for the common good. Endeavour to work out the principle embodied in the resolution passed by your Volunteers of 1782—" That they only are free who are governed by the laws to which they hare assented, either by them selves in person or by those whom they have freely chosen to represent them,"—and you cannot fail ere long, to unite in your support all the honest and earnest re formers of the United Kingdom. (Signed) J. G. MARSHALL, Chairman. MR. CLOWES' ESTABLISIINIENT.—And in thus sketching Mr. Clowes himself, let me say a few words respecting the extent of his printing premises. The statement of the simple fact, that the average number of hands constantly employed in his establishment is nearly 350, must of itself convince the reader that it is one of un common magnitude. But, perhaps, the general reader will Jae able to form some definite ideas on the subject, when we mention that from twenty to thirty large works are usually in the act of being printed by Mr. Clowes at one time. The average size of the works, and the extent of the impression, will be inferred from the fact, that the astounding quantity of 1,500 reams of demy, royal, and post paper, each ream consisting of 500 sheets, is printed weekly at the Stamford street establishment. Were the paper thus printed made up into books, it would make about sixty post-octavo volumes, allowing upwards of 300 pages to each. Let any one, then, only imagine in his own mind what must be the extent and what the capabilities of an establishment which can thus issue into the world every weak no fewer than sixty volumes, or ten such volumes every day. The stock of paper kept constantly on hand by Mr. Clowes is, on an average, from 6,500 to 7,000 reams. The sum he pays for ink alone, in the , course of a year, varies from 1,4001. to 1,6001. The cost of the paper he consumes in the same period is estimated, in round numbers, at 100.000/.—Poriraits of Public Characters, by the Author of " Random Recollections." FRENCH COACHING. - As for a French road coachman, there is no such thing in Louis Philippe's do minions, either in appearance or practice ; but the follow ing is a faithful portrait of the person and performance of a young man who drove a couch from Boulogne to Calais, in opposition to another in which I chanced to be a passenger. He wore a blue smock frock after the fashion of the country, but stockings on his legs and gloves on his hands were consi dered non-necessaries. His whip was also after the manner of hi; couatry—a rude stick with a thong like Homer's bosv-strings cut out of a bull's bide, and fastened to the stick by a long leathern keeper. But all this is nothing compared with his " performance." Although the day WB3 oxcescively hot he suffered his leaders to run close tip to the hind boot of the coach that had the lead, thus depriving the poor animals of the advantage of what little breeze there was. But what, eve lin the hands of an expert coachman, would have been tile situation of his team (in this very hilly road—l might add of his passengers— had one of the wheel horses of the coach in advance of him fallen, and thus suddenly stopped it ? Why, one or both of hie leaders might have been killed. And what chance was there of au escape, when I state how these horses were going, with their noses touching the other coach ? The fact was, the fellow la ad a young woman be side him on the box, to whom he was makieg the agree able ; and as no Frenchman can talk without the action of his hands, by way of more strongly enforcing his argu ment, perhaps avowing his love, he would every now and then place the reins under him and sit upon them, and this while descending rather steep He, and notwithstanding he had a three-legged horse at wheel, no bearing reins, only oee pair of head reins to four horses. and one dread fully broken-kneed loader as well !—" Nimrod" in the New Monthly. GOOD FoRTUNE.—A remarkable instance of good fortune has lately happened to a Mrs. Phelp, aged about eighty years, who has haen dependent on parochial relief and private bounty. She has just become unex pectedly possessed of property to the amount of many thousand pounds, in cu nsequeoce of the death of a Ha i tire, from whom she never had any expectations. The old lady, although extremely infirm in health, is in perfect possession of e.ll her mental faculties; and the use to which she ha s applied a oortien of her newly acquired pro perty, proves th a t she is quite deserving of her good for tune.

Grateful as the fact may be, we must still consider it as in some degree unfortunate that a competition, in all other respects so honourable to the University as well as to the candidates, may we add also so conclu sive and creditable to the character and feelings of the educated part of the community at large as measured by such a standard, should he raised so as to create a division, as far as personul sentiments and predilections, have reason to believe t hat, except on the Cathedral w qu h e e s r t e ion n , on n e o exists as to ce of greatopini public n principles. We prevails on any ques tion of particular moment between Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Lyttelton. That is a question, doubtless, of peculiar interest, an interest characteristically enough enhanced in the present instance by local sympathies or prejudices, as the case may be. That in the public acceptation dis sidence of opinion on this head implies no dereliction of may be assumed from the fact that Mr. Gout ruinrneip,ole, one of the representatives of the University, hot!s the same course and takes the same views with Lord Lyndhurst, from which it is not irrational to , with other leading I h caonndectescitehnattioSir members s t f l 3 e l the party, entertains si milar convictions , although we cannot at the moment recal any special declaration of that Right Hon. Gen tleman to that effect. We are far, therefore, from under standing any disqualification of Lord Lyndhurst on that ground, whilst on all others his claims are manifestly eminent and indisputable, whether as one of the bright est ornaments of the University in his earlier days, or in his after public career nobly personifying, perpetuating, and reflecting its well earned renow n .

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, 0cT.23 IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT STOCKDALE. The bankrupt was a merchant in Crosby-square, and his liabilities were estimated at upwards of 32,0001. The assets on account of the creditors were proved to be 2,0001., besides a sum of 4001. which Mr. Jones, the bankrupt's father-in-law, held as a security, but agreed to resign at this examination for the benefit of the other creditors. The examination had been ad journed ses eral times in consequence of the unsatisfac tory state of his accounts. In the present statement there was the sum of 1,4901. set down for household expenses for each year, from January, 1836, to Janu ary, 1839. In this there appeared the item of 1301. for wine and spirits alone. Mr. Lockhart, a wine-merchant, who was a creditor to a large amount, observed, that with reference to the alleged expenditure for spirits, he considered the closest scrutiny was necessary, for when the bankrupt was called upon to put in vouchers for the several pay ments under this head, he produced one professing to be a payment to him (Mr. Lockhart) for 601., whereas the payment made to him at the date of that voucher was only 361 ; now, if the same misrepresentations were in the other items, there would be a sum of nearly 2,0001. represented in the balance-sheet more than his actual expenditure. He considered the sum of 1,400/. to be an enormous annual expenditure, and, under all the circumstances of the case, he should op pose the bankrupt passing his final examination. Mr. Commissioner FoNBLANQuE said if he con sidered that any benefits were likely to arise from an adjournment, he should at once accede to it ; but he thought, attar so many—this being the sixth--ad journed examination, it would be useless to go any farther. _ . The several creditors present having agreed in the s uggestions of the Learned Commissioner, the bankrupt passed his final examination. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS KINGSTON, FRIDAY. (Before B. BARNARD, Esq., Chairman, Sir H. FLET• CHER, Bart., H. GORSE, Esq-, R. SHARPE, and T. PUCKLE, Esq.) GAMING " PROSECUTIONS." _ _ John Darden surrendered to answer an indictment charging him with keeping a gaming booth upon Epsom Downs during the races. No evidence was offered, and the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. James Gray, George Rutter, and Timothy Barnett, then surrendered to answers similar indictment. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Wallinger and Mr. Jemmett appeared for the defendants. Mr. Chambers conducted the prosecution, and addressed the Jury. The; 4earned Counsel ob served that the present prosecution was one of great importance to the public, because it was instituted with a view to protect them from being plundered by per sons like the defendants. They were charged with keeping a gaming-booth upon Epsom Downs ; and with regard to the defendant Burnett, as all he appeared to have done was to let the ground upon which the booth was erected, he should abandon the prosecution so far as he was concerned. The Jury were aware that the law did not tolerate the proceed ings of gambling under any circumstances, and it was especially necessary that dishonest persons should be prevented from setting up a gambling booth for the purpose of plundering their dupes, and walking off with the booty. He showed that the defendants Gray and Rutter were engaged in a booth where_ the game of roulette was being played. The Learned Counsel havini -, explained the way in which the game was played, said that it was a game which offered great apparent advantages, but by a mechanical contrivance the crou pier, or manager of the table, had the power of making the ball fall just where he pleased, and these fraudu lent tables were made use of; so that a per son who played with them had no more chance of winning a single sixpence, unless the owner of the table chose to allow him to do so, than he had of jumping over the moon. This was the sort of pro ceeding carried on by the defendants, and he was quite sure the Jury would agreed with him, that it was high time that such proceedings should be done away with. Mr. Lawrence Langlands was then called, and he stated that he lived at Epsom, and he had a share of the letting of the land on the Downs with Mr. Barnett. He knew the defendants, Gray and Rutter, to attend the races, but he did not remember seeing them in any booth at the last races. Mr. Chambers then applied to the Court to take a an acquittal as to Barnett, in order that he might examine him as a witness. He said this course would be necessary, in order that the ends of justice might not be defeated. Mr. Waflinger opposed this proceeding., and said that the prosecutors had no right to call one of the defendants to patch up their case. Robert Pitcher deposed that he was a picture-dealer. He said he was in No. 4 marquee all the races, but he did not see Grey or Rutter there. Mr. Chambers—Very well. Then I shall call Mr. Thomas Stowell. " Mr." Thomas Stowell (the common informer), who had been sitting behind the defendant's Counsel, got up and said, " I know nothing about it." Mr. Chambers—We will see that. Let him be sworn, and sec that he kisses the book. . —..-- . Stowell w as accor dingly sworn. He then said he had been su b poenaed t o give evidence, but he knew nothing of th e case, and he wished to know, before he answered any queitions, who was to pay his expenses. Mr. Chambers—Now, Mr. Stowell, arc you a solici tor? Stowell —No, lam not. Mr. Chambers—Do you mean to swear you did not bring down the briefs for these defendants ? Stowell— I know nothin g of the case. 1 have been subpoenaed. Examination continued.—Was at Epsom races every day.

The Applicant—The Court ought to be open, and must be opon. I came to the Lord Mayor to complain of being refused admission. Sir PETER LAURIE—Who arc you, Sir ? The Ap , plicßnt—Who am I?—my name is Muddle. I can show you who I am. But it don't signiiy who I am. A public Court is a Court for the admission of the public. My name is Mr. Muddle. Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, Mr. Muddle, the Lord Mayor and the SeritTs have the power of admitting you, and I dare ray, if you apply, that they won't re fuse you ; but it is not in my power to give you an order.

On Thursday Mr. Yates, a solicitor, applied for a summons, calling upon the Captain of the John Bull steam-vessel, trading to Hamburgh, to appear to an swer for having committed an outrage of an extraordi nary description, according to the statement of the ap plicant, upon a Jew, who came over with others of the same persuasion, to this country in that vessel. Mr. Yates stated that the injured party could not appear, inasmuch as the Captain of the John Bull had taken the most decisive means of preventing him from attending before his Lordship, by compulsorily shipping him on board another steamer which had just set off for Hamburgh. The facts were these, as far as the solicitor could learn :—Some foreign Jews being desi rous of coating to England from Hamburgh, resolved to take their passage in the John Bull. Amongst them was the person, who afterwards had such cause to com plain. Some of them had settled for their passage in Hamburgh, and others settled with the Captain. Amongst those who paid at Hamburgh, was the mm alluded to, who was a Polish Jew. The moment, how ever, the vessel arrived, the Captain demanded his pls. sage-money, to which the Jew answered that he had paid at Hamburg's, and persisted in refusing to pay again. The Captain not being able -to prevail upon his passenger to answer the demand, slipped a rope round the Jew's body, lowered him into the hold of the vessel, and detained him there until some arrangement was made with the commander of another vessel, which was setting off for Hamburg's, to take him back to the place Irons whence he came. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the man was ac tually taken back after having been confined in the hold ? Mr. Yates said that he was instructed to that effect. Whatever might have been the passenger's conduct with respect to the payment of the money, the course pur sued by the Captain could not be easily justified ; and if such a mode of treating passengers were to be allowed to pass without observation, there would be no limit to the oppressive conduct of persona who had so much in their power. The Loan MAYOR immediately ordered the sum mons to be made out for Friday. Yesterday before Mr. Yates' arrival a gentleman attended from the office of the Company to which the John Bull belongs, and stated to Sir P. Laurie, who sat for the Lord Mayor, that as the Captain would be obliged to set sail as soon as possible for Hamburgh, it would greatly convenience him to postpone the case till next Monday week, when be should attend, :tad satisfactorily account for the course he had pursued. The fact was, the applicant stated, that .the Captain had much diffi culty in guarding against imposition such as had been practised upon him on the occasion alluded to. Th e Jew had not paid for his passage at Hamburgh, and the only way of checking such gross practices of impo sition was to spoil the trick by a re-shipment, which was accordingly effected in this case, no more violence having been used on the occasion than was necessary to prevent the awkward customer from running away. Sir PETER LAURIE said, that for his part he consi dered such a plan of settling with a customer that wanted to evade payment a most excellent one. He consented to the postponement, and especially £3 the Captain could learn for certain at Hamburgh that there were no grounds for asserting that the Jew had paid be. fore embarkation. A well-dressed man applied to Sir PETER LAURIE for an order of admission into the Central Criminal Court. He had, he said, a desire to witness what was going forward, but when he tried to get into the Court a shilling was demanded of i im, and not being disposed to pay f or w h a t t h e w h o l e o f t h e pu bli c oi,ght to be at liberty to see without payment or inconvenience of any kind, he was peremptorily refused admis.rion. Sir PETER LAURIE—YOU ought to have applied to the Sheriffs, who arc in attendance at the Court. The Applicant—Oh, the Court ought to be open to the poor as well as the rich. I don't care a farthing about a shilling, nor about five shillings, but I wish to establish the principle. The Central Criminal Court ought to be open to all. Sir PETER LAURIE —Why, if the doors were thrown open, and people allowed to enter indiscriminately, no SEWERS' COURT. Yesterday a special meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers for Westminster was held at their office in Greek-street, -- Donaldson, Esq., in the Chair. Mr. E. MULLINS moved, in reference to the rate re cently made on the Eastern Division of the West minster Sewers, " That all the proceedings subsequent to, and consequent on, the return of the Jury, under the precept issued out of this Court on the 3d day of July last, be set aside, upon the grounds of irre gularity and illegality ; and that a new precept be issued to the Sheriff of Middlesex." He consi dered the question as one of the very highest im portance, and he had laid a case before Sir F. Pol lock, whose opinion he had obtained, and it was deci dedly against the legality of the rate. He contended that the precept was invalid, because it ought to have ex tended to all lands within the jurisdiction of the commis sion, and the act of the jury was also invalid because they only presented a certain portion of the lands within the jurisdiction of the Court ; and he further objected to it because a portion of the jury were inhabitants of the part which had been presented ; and he further contended that their act was invalid, because they had not prosecuted their inquiry upon oath, and before the Commissioners. He was aware of the opinion of Mr. Ogle, but he had that of Sir F. Pollock to put against it, and he thought that gentleman had boon too free in the use of strong language when he took it upo❑ himself to stigmatise the argu ments of any member of that Court as mon strous. The Liarned Gentleman quoted several decisions of Lord Ellenborough, in order to show that because Lincoln's Inn-fields had been omitted in the rate, that therefore it was bad, irregular, and invalid. The motion having been seconded, Mr. ADEY objected to the motion being put by the Chairman, because, even if it were carried, it would be illegal, and, therefore, of no effect. He contended that the Court had no power to set aside any decree pronounced by them. Let them look at the monstrous consequences which would flow from a departure from that doctrine. They had collected a great part of the rate—were they to return it ? If they put the motion, they would com pletely stultify themselves. He had much respect for an opinion which emanated from Sir F. Pollock, but it might he wrong ; at all events, when they recollected the difference of opinion which existed amongst the Judges in Frost's case, he thought they had a right to think it was a matter open to doubt. The CHAIRMAN said it was clearly out of the power of the Court to alter any decree which they had once made. Mr. MuLLltis—Suppose one of our decrees were to be clearly illegal and most prejudicial to the interests of the rate-payers, are we bound to act upon it ? Mr. ADEY said clearly, they must abide the conse quences ; it could not be set aside, except by a superior power. Mr. BECKET said there was no other power that could set aside their decrees, but the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. Mr. LESLIE was aware that it was extremely annoy- ing to re-open any case ; but it was a most important question, and one well deserving of the utmost attention. After a lengthened discussion, in which Mr. Laurie, Mr. Adcy, and Mr. Dyer took part, The CHAIRMAN put the question to the meeting that Mr. Mullins' motion be not put, because it was ille gal, which was carried by 30 to 4. The meeting then separated. SFIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS (FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (From the Standard.) The arrival of the Queen Regent of Spain at Per pignan is officially announced by the Moniteur of Wed nesday. The effect of the abdication of her Majesty and the events connected with it has been to divert the minds of the French people to a great extent from the Eastern question. The Paris Journals have scarcely a leading article upon the latter subject. This was to be expected under the circumstances. The Thiers party (including the assassin tribe) want war, and to them it is a matter of indifference in what quarter of the world the pretext for war may be found—except, perhaps, that they might prefer it on their own side of the sea. It cannot be forgotten that M. Thiers long since manifested a hankering after a Spanish war, and that it required all the wisdom and . firmness of Louis Philippe to thwart his purpose of marching a French army into the Peninsula. What will be the colour of the excuse for now in dulging this propensity beyond the Pyrenees ? It were extremely rash to surmise; but that the French war party will illustrate their late superstitious veneration for the doctrine of non-interference by some attempt upon Spain, it is scarcely possible to doubt. There are parties enough in France all eager for war to afford a choice of apologies for taking advantage of the distraction of the neighbouring kingdom—Legitimists to support the claims of Carlos ; worshippeis of the despotism of the bureau and the army (M. Thiers in chief) to assert the authority of Espartero ; Jacobins to take the side of the Ezaltados ; and some—would that their number was greater—to defend the right of legal sovereignty. All these will re joice in a Spanish war, because all these are French men, anxious to extend the boundaries of " the great nation," and to wipe away the recollections of Sala manca and Vittoria. But what part is England to take in a Spanish war ? is the question that must soon press upon ourselves. It may seem ungenerous to say, that England ought to take no part, because we must make the confession, with whatever degree of shame, that to the misconduct of the British Govern ment is mainly due the calamities with which Spain is now afflicted : still we say, that Eng land, if she consult her best interests and that moral duty which is owing by states, as well as by individuals, will take no part in the Spanish quarrel. The Spaniards have proved their total unfitness for free institutions, by the best of all proofs, the abuse of those institutions to the creation of a perfect anarchy, to the utter ruin, indeed, of their country, after twenty years of experiment. (From the Globe.) It is honourable to the English Press, that only cue Daily Journal, assuming to represent any section of pub lic opinion, has a word to say in favour of the Horse Guards, and of Lord Cardigan. That Journal (the Post), snatching at straws to prop its position, pretends to find in the Globe some countenance to its otherwise unsupported conclusions. "By a momentary lapse," says the Post, " into a right way of thinking, it (the Globe) describes the sentence as " not over stepping military principles of judgment, and then avers its concurrence with those who object to the principles acted on at the Horse Guards.' " Our readers are aware that we declined either to im pugn or affirm the principles of military judgment upon which the sentence proceeded. What we said was, that the "reprobation" cast by those principles on self-redress, in case of personal insult by a superior officer, could not be maintained (consistently with the honour of British officers) in conjunction with the inquiry-stiffing principles acted on at the Horse Guards. We adhere to this opinion ; and we think this point of view the moat serious. There may be something about military principles, and society, as peculiar as you will ; but every society, in demand ing obedience, must, in returd, afford protection—if the one is withheld, the other is not to be looked for. Protection to life and limb is the rudest requisite in every community. Protection to that honour, which is " the breath of their nostrils," is essential to military men above all others. The requirements of the military character must be duly regarded, as well as the require ments of military discipline. Or rather, the life of the one depends• on maintaining the other intact. Th e " principles by which all armies are governed" would be destructive of their spirit, if they turned al their subjects into mere automatons, insensible to Tama—as callous to insult and ignominy. This can not be the temper which officers are intended to adopt with their new uniforms ; and therefore we say that the principles of the sentence of the Court-martial, and of the conduct of the Horse Guards, cannot both be adhered 'to without ruin to the character of the British officer, or the discipline of the British service. Tkiis subject must not be allowed to drop_ without farther inquiry. We rejoice that the contributions brought by our columns to the materials for judgment have had the eff:ct, with these recent proceedings, of awakening public attention to the whole matter. The Post affects to believe that the publicity given to the charges against Lord Cardigan must be answerable for the unpleasant consequences to that Nobleman—not to men tion others. We submit that, if the charges were true, the temper and character which they indicate are sufficient to account for any conceivable amount of mischief. If they were false—if all that has been imputed to Lord Cardigan latterly has no more foundation than he af firms of the offensive ( xpressions towards Captain Rep golds—then no man is so deeply interested as his Lord &lip himself in a full, searching, and impartial inquiry into all these transactions. (From the Courier.) Th er e is no domestic question which engages more interest at the present moment among the higher and educated orders than the singular contest now carrying on for the election of High Steward to the University of Cambridge. We say, singular, inasmuch as it is a contest, not between individuals as representing or identified each with one or other of the two leading parties in the State, the result of which therefore would be invested only with the special feature of the ascendancy of one or other class of opinion in one of the most learned and enlightened bodies in the world, and in so fer a party triumph—a point in itself algae, however, the importance of which cermet be overrated—but one ' between two distinguished parties holding the same po• points only, on which the very litical faith in common, or, when at all, differing upon Whig,en tentirely e o l r y Radical, unk no 1v n first men its the State and the country, the men wile give the tone to °patio!), have themselves, as we may very y ated and less material say, agreed to differ. The question therefore is not one latter parties arc as completely out of Court, and as for the two beyond the precincts of Downing-street and never beard oasttbereltyweueonreCgardsecrd7tiav:; MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

SUGAR.—There has been an increased disinclination evinced on the part of the trade to purchase British Plan tation Sugar this week, the grocers have bought sparingly of both brown and yellow kinds, and few of the refiners have made their appearance in the market; the quantity sold during the three market.days have amounted to only 950 hhds and tierces ; importers have generally refused to reduce their pretensions, in a few cases, however, a alight reduction has been submitted to for the better sorts, but it is not sufficient to warrant us in altering the quotations. Jamaica of low brown quality has been disposed of at 804 ; Demerara and Jamaica low middling yellow 81; to 83i, good middling of the latter at 84s, and good nearly fine trom the same Island and Antigua 84s 6d, these latter are certainly in proportion the cheapest sorts; for low brown Berbice 78a has been refused. To-day the trade were more desirous to do business, and a fair demand existed for all descriptions, the grocers, however, were the principal operators • 450 hhds, &c., were disposed of, and towards the close of the market it was difficult to buy at the rates of yesterday ; the sales for the week amount to 1,400 hhds and trcs. The market closed with a decidedly more healthy appearance; the lowest point for dry brown is 79s per cwt. REviszEn.--The home trade have bought sparingly of Refined goods this week, and prices have given way Gd per cwt ; standard lumps selling at 102 s to 102 s 6d, good and fine brown lumps 98s to 101 s, ordinary 95s to 975; Tittlers and Hamburgh Loaves 102 s 6d to 104 a, fine 105 s to 107 s. Treacle of common quality at 3Es, but patent and the best old make have been in excellent request, 41a 6d to 42s paid for the former, and 43s 6d to 443 6d for the latter. Pieces have sold freely, fine at 84s to 88s, and other kinds at 792t0 831 per cwt. Bastards have been in good request, and have fetched 67s to 68s for low and fine quality. There has been a brisk demand for Bonded and Crushed Sugar, 33s 3d paid for large, and 33s 6d for small parcels of first quality. Loaves have sold slowly, but prices have been supported, 61111 are worth 423, 101bs 39s to 393 6d, and 141bs 383 to 383 6d. Treacle has been taken freely at 15s to 15s 3d. Bastards and Pieces have sold slowly at 203 to 28s. For Dutch Crushed Sugar on board at Amsterdam 31s has been paid. Matiamus.—There has been no public sale, and pri vately little inquiry has existed for either brown or yellow descriptions, previous rates however have been supported : no arrivals, and no auction is declared. The stock is 56,667 bags less than last year at this time. EAST INDlA.—Holders of Manilla having submitted to rather lower rates have caused the refiners to come for ward more freely, and they have taken 3,000 bags by pri vate treaty, low yellow at 235, middling 23s 61, good 24s 6d, the principal part was at 23s to 23s 6d per cwt. Siam fine white fetched 28s to 283 6d, low to good 25s to 273 61, damps and washed 24s to 263 Bengal brown and yellow sorts at rather lower rates ; white at itis 6d for middling ; low foxy brown at 653, very ordinary black 50s ; 82s to 83s for middling yellow, 84s to 85s 61 for good and very fine, and 703 to 723 61 for middling bright brown; FOKEIGN.—YeIIow Havannah at 24s 6d to 25s for good middling quality. The parcels of Brazil offered at auction have been large, and have consisted of 321 chests 142 bar rels Pernambuco, and 264 chests 120 barrels Bahia ; buy ers evinced little desire to purchase, and holders not being disposed to submit to lower rates, the whole was taken in. It is reported that an order has been received at the Cus tom House, to admit white Havannah for home use, at the duty of 63*, and 5 per cent. COFFEE —For all clean descriptions of British Planta tion a good demand has prevailed this week to supply the wants of the home trade, and former rates have been fully supported, indeed superior marks of Jamaica have brought advanced rates, and are much wanted ; for unclean kinds there are yet few buyers, and to dispose of small parcels holders have been compelled to submit to rather lower rates. This afternoon prices were firm for all clean kinds of Coffee admissible for home use, and a fair demand existed privately. At auction 117 bags Java end 33 bags Salem were offered, the former sold a - 55s 6d to 59s 6d for end, and sea damaged at 48s 6d to 545; the latter fetched 71 133 for fine pale greenish, being the full value. TEA.:—holders of Free' trade have displayed firmness this week, and forme% rates fully supported for both black nd green sorts, but the demand has fallen off consider. ably, and but few purchases have been made, this is not to be wondered at, considering the sudden announcement of large public sales for Tuesday, 10,000 pkgs being the quantity declared, the principal part Congou of excellent quality, For fine Hyson sold at the auctions last week, there have however been several inquiries. The specu lative market has presented a tranquil appearance all the week, but there is no dispositio❑ to force sales, and in prices little variation has occurred.
