LONDON :
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1837.

In the Houss of LORDS yesterday the Royal Assent was
given by Commission to the Commission of the Peace Bill.
Lord Bsouuthist then presented a petion, the prayer of which
he supported, for the more effectually carrying into execution
the Negro Emancipation Act of 1833.
In the Houss of COMMONS the Sheriffs of London appeared
at the bar, and presented from the Common COuncil of the
City of London, three petitions :-1. In favour of a uniform
rate of postage, &c. 2. For the repeal of the oppressive and
impolitic duties on fire, life, and marine insurances; and 3.
In favour of the Municipal Officers' Declaration Bill.
Several Election Petitions were also presented.
A short canversation followed on the subject of a free view
of public buildings.
Mr. BAINES having moved that the House resolve itself into
Committee on the Municipal Officers' Declaration Bill, Mr.
G ROTE moved that it be an instruction to the Committee to make
provision to oxtend the Bill to " all classes" of her Majesty's
subjects. The object of the motion was to include the Jews.
After some discussion Mr. GROTE'S motion was negatived by
a majority of 16. The Bill then went through Committee.
The Custody of Insane Persons Bill also went through Can-
mittee.

Sir E. SUGDEN'S motion for the sus,ension of the recently
passed Act amending the Law relating to Wills, was negatived
without a division.

The Danish Claims' question, which has so often been be-
fore the House, was again raised. For the report of the dis-
cus3ion which took place last night, we refer to the debate
itself. _ . _

Mr. E. J. STANLEY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
enable the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to purchase
ground and tenements required to complete the site for the
new Houses of Parliament.

Sir WILLIAM Ras brought in a Bill for the more effectual
recovery of small debts in the Justice of Peaco Courts, Scot-
land, which was read a first time.
The tious:; adjourned et Twelve o'Clock.

We direct the attention of our readers to important
news from Lower Canada, and the United States,
which will be found in the first page of The Sun of
this dad•.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave no-
tice last evening that on Thursdaj next he will move for
a Select Committee to inquire into the Pension List. It
is understood that Sir ROBERT PEEL will oppose the
motion, so that every Liberal ought to be at his post.
The division will be of more importance than Members
are now aware of.

The great Reform Meeting which took place yes-
terday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, is a sign of
t:.e times as momentous as any that has been developed
for years past. For this meeting, and the excitement
it will occasion throughout the country, Lord JOHN
RUSSELL may thank himself. He has been the prime
.mover—the arch-agitator in this business. He it is
that has set us all on the alert ; dispelled the blind
confidence in which we had so long indulged ; and
taught us to feel that if we desire to improve our con-
dition, we must set about the task ourselves. When
by his declaration against Reform, the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON set all England in motion ; when by his in-
sulting taunt " alien," Lord LYNDHURST put Ireland
into the same state of combustion, they only acted as
the Ministerial Leader in the House of Commons has
just now acted. The spirit that actuated all three is
precisely the same--namely, a rooted instinctive dis-
like to concede any other Reform measures than may
;.uit the interests of party.
Yet we are toll, forsooth, that we must acquiesce
in the justice of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S declara-
rations, and continue our confidence in him just as if
nothing had occurred to shake it ; because if we do
not so restrain our feelings, and subdue our natural
sense of indignation, his Lordship and his colleagues
must walk out, and Sir ROBERT PEEL and the To-
ries walk in ! This, no doubt, is a most embarrassing
position for Reformers to be placed in, and one that
should be guarded against ; but it should not be al-
lowed to influence us too far ; or the result will be, to
put a stop to all our exertions, and crush our sense of
independence. We must not act upon the conviction
that every chance for freedom, every hope of Reform,
every prospect of obtaining justice for Ireland, depends
on Lord Jolts It ussELL's continuance in office.
What, is he our only statesman ? Is he our only
safeguard ? Must the Constitution perish with
him ? Not so ; were his Lordship to quit place
to-morrow, we should have no need to strew sack-
cloth and ashes on our heads. We arc therefore
in favour of an open, manly declaration of opinion.
We are 'for the people speaking their minds to Minis-
ters, careless whether their bluff frankness give offence
or not. We are for the prompt and energetic discus-
sion and agitation of those very questions which Lord
JOHN RUSSELL has explicitly told us, shall never,
with his good will, be conceded. In a word, we are
for coining at once to issue with him on these points,
and trying whose i.dluence is tte strongest—his, or ours.
Is it to be endured that Reform is only to be carried
so far as it may suit the purposes of the Whig play,
and then to be checked, the instant that it militates
against their interest ? We, at least, do not so under-
stand Reform. In our view of the case, it is a principle
of progression, which no Ministry, be it Whig or Tory,
has a right to bid halt. We are the more earnest on this
point, because we firmly believe, with Lord BttouGHAM,
who, in his admirable letter read yesterday at the
meeting, observes, " at no time within my recollection
have the friends of Reform and improvement had more
ground for anxiety respecting the prospects of their
cause."
Such being the case—and who shall gainsay
it is more than ever incumbent on us, that

things considered, there is more hope from a repentant
Tory than an. incorrigible Whig.
The speeches of Mess►s. lioEBUCK and O'CoN-
NE I, L, were each, in its way. admirable. Both spoke
out piainly on the subject of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S
declaration, and shoved it no mercy. The latter
Gentleman observed, " before the Reform Bill, there-
was direct nomination; that was bad enough ; hut
what have we now ? It is true we have not
direct nomination, but we have worse ; we have
bribery and corruption. The nli►,istry who
supported the Reform Bill, are now supporting a sys-
tem of fraud, bribery, and corruption—they are there-
fore supporting immorality." This is the literal fact.
The very men who carried Reform for the purpose of
putting an end to the iniquitous practices of borough-
. mongering, are the very same who are now sanc-
tioning,- an equal nuisance—that of the most fla-
grant bribery and intimidation at elections—
by withholding the protection of the Ballot. And
yet these men presume to call themselves con-
sistent I After preaching up the doctrine of finality,
and bluntly telling us that we have got nearly
as much Reform as we ought to have, they insist on it
that they are the political regenerators of the age. They
place every sterling Liberal in a false position, and then
dare him to escape from his d►lemma, knowing well
that he can only do so, by taking up with a Tory
Government. But this constant playing on our appre-
hensions will not long serve the turn of Ministers.
Already it is fast losing its effect, as is evident from
the tenor of the speeches made at yesterday's meeting,
which we doubt not will be soon echoed far and wide
throughout the country.

The Bill for relieving the Quakers and Moravians
from the necessity of making the declaration required
by the Municipal Act before admission to Corpora-
tion offices, passed through Committee last night in
the House of Commons. Both these religious sects
have conscientious scruples respecting the taking of
oaths, and as they view the declaration in question as
partaking of the nature of an oath, they are
practically excluded by it from holding office in Muni-
cipal Corporations. 'We believe there are few, if any,
persons now alive who think that either the Christian
religion, or the civil constitution of this country,
would be endangered by a Quaker or a Mora-
vian, any more than a Presbyterian, an Inde-
pendent, or a Baptist, becoming Mayor of a
Corporate town, and therefore there ►s little doubt that
the relief sought will be obtained. That, we under-
stand, is confidently anticipated by the advocates of
the measu►c.

There, however, arose a debate on an amendment
moved by Mr. GROTE, which is not without im-
portance. Mr. GROTE, always ready to stand up
for the extension' of civil and religious liberty, pro-
posed that the measure should be enlarged so as to
comprehend the Jews, who of course cannot " de-
clare" an) thing " on the faith of a Christian" with-
out a professed abandonment of Judaism. The mo-
ment this amendment was proposed, there was an
alarm among the Saints. Sir ROBERT INGLIs's hair
began to bristle up, and that " sage, grave man," Mr.
HENRY KEMBLE, fell into a cold perspiration that
lowered the temperature of the House at least twenty
degrees. As soon as this. par nobile could find
utterance they deprecated in the strongest linguage
they could find the adoption of an amendment
pregnant with ruin to Church and State—an amend-
ment, exclaimed Mr.KEMBLE, with a rueful elongation
of countenance that attracted general commiseration—
an amendment that would admit not only men of all
religions, but of no religion at all, into the sanctum
sanctorum of the British Constitution I The latter
class of persons are doubtless very scrupulous about
taking a declaration on the faith of a Christian
The discussion called forth several excellent speeches
from the Ministerial side of the House, for which we
refer our readers to the debate. The result was, that
Mr. GROTE'S amendment was lost; and although
we should rejoice exceedingly to see the Jews
placed on a footing of perfect equality with their
fellow-citizens, we cannot regret that result. It
is quite clear to us that the introduction of time
amendment into the Bill would have ensured its
rejection in the House of Lords, and thus the
Jews would have been in no better state than
they are, whilst the Quakers, Moravians, and others
-L—for the Bill was enlarged so as to comprehend all Se-
paratists—would have been deprived of a positive
benefit. This Bill will pass, and the 'consequence
will be that the Jews, being the only religious sect
stig►natised by an exclusive brand, will have their claim
strengthened by the concentration of that sympathy
which is now divided among various sects. This
may be called hit-by-bit Reform ; but the main point
in all Reform is to gain the object aimed at, and that
is the wisest course which does this the soonest.

We gave the Bishops more credit for attention to
business than they deserved, when we stated that but
few of them heard Lord BROUGHAM' speech to the
end, on Friday. It appears that being satisfied with
the Bishop of LONDON'S reply to the anticipated plan
of the Noble Lord, they did not consider it necessary to
hear the details, but dropped off one by one, and left
their duties to he performed by one, who, if sincerity,
piety, and regular attendance in the House on the dis-
cussion of religious questions were requisite qualities
for the holy.office, has better claims to the title of
Bishop than any on the Episcopal Bench—we
mean the Earl of WINCH ILSEA. To say the
least, such conduct shows great apathy in a •cause
which involves the moral and religious interests of
the community, and for the promotion of which they
receive about a quarter of a million a-year. The
strongest argument for allowing them seats in the Le-
gislature is founded on their claims to superior know-
ledge in every thing connected with learning and reli-
gion, and the assistance they may render lay Peers
when such subjects are brought before Parliament.
How little they have done for education, the acknow-
ledged ignorance of the great body of the common
people proves—what they propose to do, or permit to
Ise done, to. remedy the defect, the language of the
Bishop of LON DON sufficiently demonstrates ; and these,
taken together, lead every attentive observer to draw
the melancholy contrast between their backwardness on
this important subject, and the alacrity with which they
took up the subject of Church-rates, when, after a con-
ference at Lambeth Palace, fifteen of them conic down
in a body to denounce a plan which might allay ani-
mosity between the two great religious portions of the
community. To the temporal interests of the Church
they are ever alive ; they watch every discussion on
them with the most scrupulous attention and vigilance,
and seem determined that not a lay ,finger shall touch
them without their consent : but to the more weighty
matter of education or morality (for the terms are syno•
nyinous) they show the most placid apathy. The
question has been taken up in the Commons, however,
with proper spirit ; and we have no fear that the per-
severance of the people and their Representatives will
yet teach the Bench of Bishops their duty.

Mr. WARBURTON'S motion in favour of the
Danish claimants of the second class—those British
subjects whose goods were seized on shore by the
Danish Government after the bombarding of Co-
penhagen by the English fleet in ISo7—was agreed to
without a division by the House of Commons last
night. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
opposed the motion, but to the credit of his colleagues
and the honour of the House, the Right Honourable
Gentleman found himself unsupported by a single
voice. He attempted by sophisms, as futile as they
were unworthy of the understanding of the assembly
to which they were addressed, to frighten the House
into a negation of the claims of the sufferers. He
urged that false claims might be set up and sustained—
that before giving any pledge to pay those justly
substantiated, the whole gross amount should be
stated—that if Danish claims of this class were
admitted, the next thing we should hear of would
be French claims—that the claimants would be very
were the House to trouble itself less about their
tp accept a lIPT eerltago on their lossesand
that, in a word, these claims having been neglected for
thirty years, a precedent was established for ne-
glecting them till Doomsday. We are happy.
to be able to state that such arguments as these found
rto supporters in a British House of Commons.
Gentlemeu of every shade of opinion, repudiated
the principle of denying just debts because false claims

might possibly be set up ; denounced the immorality
of a conditional recognizance of such just debts;
and generously maintained that if the abeyance of the
claims for thirty years was to be taken into considera-
tion, it ought to be with a view to grant the
sufferers a rate of interest upon the sums which may
hereafter be proved due to them. But while we
give the House of Commons full credit for the integ-
rity that dictated a reprobation of the policy of the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and the Govern-
ment for the last thirty years, we cannot refrain from
expressing our supprise that no reference was made
to the third class of claimants. .Originally there were
three classes :—the owners of book debts—of goods
on shore—and of goods afloat. The two first
have now, had their claims allowed ; but no Mem-
ber, during the debate last night, made any
allusion to the case of those British subjects whose
goods had been seized afloat by order of the Danish
Government. Where was Mr. CLAY that his voice
was not heard on this occasion ? He, if we mistake
not, is in possession of documents placed in his
hands by the representatives of this third class of suf
ferers, to whom he is bound to endeavour to see jus-
tice done by the Treasury. Liberally interpreted, the
wording of Mr. WARBultToN's motion will include
Danish claimants of every class ; but after the argu-
ments employed by the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, we are not inclined to trust anything to
tacit understandings between the Right Honourable
Gentleman and any class of British subjects, stand:ng
in such a relation to the Government as do the ag-
grieved in this case. Perhaps we may be mis-
taken. The Government may probably see that it is use-
less to attempt settling the question by further in-
stalments of justice, and that the best, as well as the
most creditable, way will be to accede- now all that can
be justly demanded. We shall be happy to learn
' that Ministers, instead of by trickery thwarting the
claims of tire Danislif sufferers, after the example
of so many of their predecessors in office, will come
forward and afford them every opportunity of show-
ing the extent of their respective losses. It is a gross
libel on England to suppose her too poor to be just.

A small pamphlet, entitled, a " A Second Letter to
Lord JOHN R tissEL r., showing the utter inadequacy
of Mr. CHARLES BULLER'S B►ll," published by
RIDGWAY, has been sent to us. After perusing it,
we cannot help being of opinion that the writer has
satisfactorily proved that Mr. BULLER'S measure,
should it pass the Legislature in its present shape,
will, instead of laying the axe to the root of the evil,
be little better than a palliative of no great efficacy.
The first point of attack presented to the author is the
.preamble .of the Hon. Member's Bill, in which it is
stated that " great benefit has been found to arise from
the present law," which statement is held to be a little
out of place, as well as at variance with the expressed
opinions of the framer.
The writer then proceeds to the consideration of the
clauses, and assails in a very spirited and able manner
some of the principal provisions of the Bill. The evils
of the present system, which it is the professed object
of Mr. BULLER'S Bill to remedy, are those which
arise from the party feelings of the present tribunal,
and from the conflicting decisions of the Revising
Barristers. The first of these evils it is proposed to
remedy ; Ist. By reducing the number of the Election
Committee from eleven to five. 2d. By changing the
present mode of reducing the lists to that of challenging
the names as they are called. 3d. By the appointment
of Assessors to preside over Committees.
The writer of the letter contends that neither of the
above-mentioned remedies can possibly have the effect
of cming the evil complained of ; namely, the feeling
of partizanship in the Members of the Committee ; and
that some of them will have a directly contrary tendency.
He holds that these would be no greater responsibility
in a Committee of five than in one of eleven, and that
the interest would be immeasurably increased in the
smaller number.

The second branch of the subjecttliat which re-
lates to the remedy for the evils arising from the con-
tradictory decisions of Revising Barristers, is dispatched
in a very summary manner. The author condemns in
Coto the Revising Tribunal as one whose decisions have
rendered it utter') contemptible in the eyes of all
thinking men, and hateful to the people at large. He
concludes his letter with the follchving smartflisilade :
Why should the public pay for the education of these
Revising Barristers ? Why should the time of the Assessors
be employed in licking into shape their monstrous and contra-
dictory decisions? 1 can discover one reason, and one reason
alone, viz., that as the Assessors will have little or nothing to
do, except the Session after a general election, the Hon. and
Learned Member, who is an economist, and who assigns the
handsome salary of 2,000 L per annum, would employ their lei-
sure time in drilling the awkward squad. Pretty specimen of the
Hon. Member's reforming and economical talent : first mak-
ing the country pay 30,0001. per annum to incompetent judges,
and then to pay 6,0001. per annum to three judges to teach
them their business ! But is this the proper mode of grap-
pling with the question ? Certainly not : but it is of the same
class as hi; other remedies ; not applying his mind with a de-
termination to uproot the existing evil, but merely to palliate
it—to render it less obnoxious in appearance, but just as offen-
sive in reality. What rev'ision of the Assessors would atone
for the manner of these young judges? At one place the Bar-
rister told some individuals that he would strike out their
votes (although they were unobjectcd to) unle,;s they with-
drew a protest they ha I tendered upon another case. It may
be said this was an idle threat—but Englishmen do not like
and should not be subjected to such threats from the judg-
ment-scat."

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 26th ult.
reached us this morning. The validity of the votes
given during the last ten days of the elections for
Madrid was discussed in the Senate on the 23d, and
in the Chamber of Deputies on the 25th. The
Peers, almost without a word of discussion, voted by
a majority of eleven, that the votes were not valid;
and the same decision was come to by the Deputies,
but after a long debate, and by only a majority of
seven. According to these accounts a change of Mi-
nisters may be hourly expected. The Marquis
D'ESPEJA, whose political portrait is so well drawn
in the article which we have quoted from the Courtier
Francais in our leading comments upon the contents
of the French Journals, has really received the
appointment of Ambassador to the Court of
France. On the 23d, the Deputies from Es-
tremadura called the attention of the War Minister
to the wretched state of that Province. Whereupon
he stated that he had applied to Portugal for a re-
inforcement of troops to guard the frontier ; and that
the forces then in the neighbourhood of the capital
were preparing to march to the districts infested by the
rebels. This explanation of the intentions of the Go-
vernment was received with shouts of derision by the
Provincial Deputies, who observed that it would only
tend to increase the despair already prevailing in such
districts, as it would convince them that the Govern-
ment hail no resources adequate to their timely relief.
The badness of the weather in the North Of Spain
is said to prevent ESPARTERO from undertaking any
expedition more terrible to the Carlists than his re-
cent doings at Pampeluna. He had, however, much
better bestir himself, lest the attention of his troops
should be too exclusively directed to circumstances con-
nected with the military minder of the Christino
" Buckler of Navarre"—the brave and chivalrous
Colonel DON LEON IRIARTE.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, received this morn-
ing, contain no political intelligence of interest. Mar-
shal VALLEE has, at last, consented to retain pro
tempore the Chief Governorship of French Africa.
This will relieve Ministers from the pressing difficulty
of providing a suitable successor for the Marshal before
the meeting of the Chambers. NOURRI EFFENDI,
Turkish Ambassador at the Court of France, returned
to Constantinople on Friday, leaving TA LAT F. EFENDI
to officiate in his absence as Charge d'Affaires.
multaneously with the departure of NOURRI EFFENDI,
SARUM BEY left Paris for London, as Ambassador
from the Sublime Porte to the Court of St. James's.
There is no other news of any general interest in the
Paris Journals. The following article from the
Courrier Francais, on the prevailing aspect of affairs
in Spain, is well worthy of attention. The
,Journal
from which it is taken has always supported the Libe-
ral cause in the Peninsula ; but its support was never
that of the blind and slavish echo of the voice of
faction :

Le Temps announces to-day, in an almost official manner.
that Count de Carnpuzano, the Spanish Minister in Paris, has
been recalled, and that 'lli° Marquis of Espeja, will
replaq: him in' this mission. All we know is, that the Spanish
Ministry has not notified the change in question to the. person
who should be the first informed of it. The nows given
