lIIM4 for disfraniglishig the rbonsagh of Crata-
p nand, and tranferVing the right of electing Mem.
Leis for Parliament to some populous town not at
present enjoying that right.• The measure WAS
btairght forwatd with so much discretion and
good Penile, and was recommended by such high
authority. that Lord CASTLEREAGU consented
immediately kiTecognire the propriety of depriving
the borough of Grampotnid of the elective iron.
.chise, and of tratisferSinrtheprivikge forfeited by
corruption, iu the present instance, to some more
populous town. The •llolrle Lord, however, took
eapecisl care to guaid irg au., the ailanis,ion of any
general principle, and dearred, what must indeed in
every case of •necessity take place, that every par.
tittular instance selected for the operation of the

pliociple of disfranchisement, and transfer of the
right of election, should he considered wpon its own
• P,•rulinr merits. This concession on the part of
thalovernment was considered so satisfactory, that
Lord JoaN RUSSELL immediately withdrew his Re-
solutions, and gave notice that lie should, after the
tiol.days, bring in a Bill for disfrotichisnig the bo-
rriagh of Grampound, and fur transferring tl‘e right
efieleciion to some more populous iils e ; but in
pursuance of the evident tir;tie of the Ilouse, the
Iniuble Lord consented to bring in his very impor-
tant and very salutary Btli to-morrow.
This occurrence is, under the present circum-
stances of the country, very consolatory. It 'hews
-tat the !louse of Commons are not so indifferent
to the desires of the people as their enemies assert;
w,ll contribute essentially to pour new life into
vie constitution, for it contains a principle of ain-
motion that must be attended by the best rffects,
end what is still better, it will bring back the wan-
dering spirits of the people, and restore to them
.!hst confidence in Parliament is hidi alone can en-
sure respect and power to the one, and tranquillity
to the other. It is also gratifying to reflect, flint
boon so gracious in itself, and holding out pros-
ports so brilliant, should have been obtained by the
risertions of a member of that illustrious Howse,
whose name has long been dear to every English.
It belonged to the I louse of Russr.t.t. to
.ommence that rational and practical Reform in
Ow details of the Constitution winch alone can en-
sure its stability.

In the .Committee la,t night on the Search for

'Jr. Ilortnonn has been committed to New-
r,.te. It was rumoured yesterday evening about
I•e I-louse of Commons that Mr. flotstiousx pur-
r:sed to resist the execution of the SPEAKER'S war-
ruo, 111111 the runieur excited a very extraordinary
ren.,)tuni ; but we find that it arose altogether
a misapprehension. On Mr. ELtace's
erTivai at the House the Seijeant at Arms
p•idres.ed himself to him, and requested to be
o•fothied where he might find Mr. liontiovax,
1-r the purpose of executing the SPEAKER'S war-
rAnt which he had in his possession. Mr. Et.Licx
irataeduttely informed him that Mr. Ilonnouss
wit then at his (Mr. FAttcx's) house in Spring-
!dens, and thither the Serjeant instantly dispatched
ti!rer messengers to arrest him. The messengers
writ' admitted without any difficulty into the room
w' ere Mr. HORHOUSE was sitting. One of the
67- -wsgers announced to him, in the most respect-
ful Terms, the object of his visit. Mr. HOBRO Use
neither ctfered any resistance, nor manifested any
de-ire to comply with the requisition of the messen-
ger who produced the SPEAKER'S warrant, but suf-
te:ed himself by the application of a gentle force
to be lifted from his chair, and conveyed to a coach
in walnut:, in which he was conveyed to Newgate
by one of the messengers, at half-past six o'clock.
He was received at the prison by Mr. BROWNE,
the keeper, and we understand with satisfaction
.t! at accommodation has been provided for him in
littowNE's house.
