American Papers have been received to the
2d of June, but they contain no additional news.,
except it be the confirmation of the reported
revolution in Columbia, by which General Bo-
LIVAR is deprived of his power by General
URDAIMTA, who has placed himself at the
head of the revolutionary party.

In the July number of Blackwood': Magazine,
just published, there is an article " On the State
of Parties,",which, though not deficient in abi-
lity, and a certain showy parade of knowledge,
neutralizes these qualifications by the very sweep-
ing and impartial abuse that it throws not
only on the leading parties of England, but on
all the minor shades and ramifications of parties.
It abuses the Whigs, it abuses the Tories, it
abuses the WELLINGTON Administration. The
WELLINGTON party, it asserts, are below the
Whigs in talent, influence, and respectability ; the
Whigs are below the Tories in the same requi-
sites, and the Tories themselves are—beneath
contempt ! Not a man among them all is to
be trusted. Not an idea among them all
is to be respected. In consequence of
this universal want of political wisdom
and respectability, a Reform of the House
of Commons has become absolutely neces-

nary. It must be prompt and efficient, but
cautious and practical. Such is the language of
Blackwood—the most truculent and Ultra pub-
lication on record ! Singularly enough, the very
last number of the Westminster Review--a work

hitherto as strongly opposed to the high Tory
Coryphceus of the North as light to darkness—
advocates the very same doctrine, and precisely

(with the exception of its recommendation of
the Ballot) to the very same extent ! We do not
here allude: to Blackwood's advocacy of Reform
for the purpose of dissent or ridicule. Far from
it ; we agree with him toto cc'lo that a " cautious
and practical" Reform is absolutely necessary ;
but though we concede thus much, we are alto-
gether opposed to the wild, reckless, and indis-
criminating spirit in which he has attacked all
parties. Presuming that the Whigs will come,
into office he visits them with his severest repro-
bation. Presuming that the Ultra Tories will
not (and God grant he may be right !) he treats
them with equal acerbity. His motives for
abusing the WELLINGTON Administration he
Shrouds in tenfold night, but the secret probably
lies in his rigid notions of impartiality on the sub-

lect of political vituperation. At the presen

;uncture it might be premature in us to hazard
any speculation with regard to rumoured changes
in the Administration beyond the expression of

our belief that changes to a limited extent are
in progress ; we shall therefore content ourselves
with directing attention to the opinions of
Blackwood on the same topic, as being every
way curious, and if not instructive, at least
►musing.

His MAJESTY left Bushy-park at sere

o'clock yesterday morning, called upon the Duke of CUM-
BERLAND at Kew, and, accompanied by his Royal Highness,
drove into town in an open landau, passing into Hyde-pad
on his way to St. James's soon after nine o'clock. A car-
riage with ladies followed, and there was an escort of the
Lancers. The people in the villages and on the road were
uncovered as he passed, and his IVhartsry returned their,
salutes with great affability.

Mr. WHITBREAD having, by public adver-
isement, signified his intention of retiring from the re-

presentation of Middlesex, a requisition is in course o 1

'signature, and has already received many respectable and
influential names, requesting Mr. Hums to become a can-
didate for that county. We understand that a Committee
has been appointed, and assembles daily at No. 8, Pall-
mall East, for the purpose of securing Mr. Humes return.

On Sunday morning, between nine and ten
o'clock, as a young man was bathing, in the Serpentine
River, in Hyde-park, from sortie cause or other, while in
the act of swimming across the river, he suddenly disap-
peared, and, although there were a number of persons in
the water at the time, the unfortunate youth was not
picked up until he was past all hopes of recovery, in spite
of the exertions used at the receiving-house belonging to
the Royal Humane Society. On searching the pockets of
the deceased a printed card was found, bearing the name
and address of " ADOI ?NUS LANGFORD, Dodstvortb, near
Barnsley, Yorkshire ;" there were also two 5/. notes, a
sovereign, and a watch. His bat contained the label of a
hatter in Cambridge. The apparel of the deceased was
of a superior description, and he did not appear to be
more than 18 or 19 years of age.
A NEw POLICE CONSTABLE KILLED.—
Last night Somers-town and its vicinity were thrown
into extreme excitement in consequence of its having been
industriously rumoured that a new police constable had
met with his death from kicks inflicted upon his stomach
• in his attempt to prevent two Irish labourers from baring
a pugilistic combat. On inquiry we ascertained that
police constable GRANTHAM, No. 169, Division S, was
called upon to prevent a breach of the peace in Thornley-
place, Skinner-street, Somers-town. Upon interfering,
with a view of preserving the peace, one of the men,
named MICUAEL Duprey-, in the employ of Mr. THORN-
LEY, builder, put the police constable at defiance, and acted
in the most outrageous manner. The deceased was, in
consequence, compelled to threaten the man DUFFEY with
the handcuffs, which increased his fury, and ke swore that
the police constable should not handcuff him. The police-
man was at length compelled to attempt to put his threats
into execution, whereupon DUFFEY' kicked and plunged
most outrageously. The police constable received one of
these setviw ground,erekicksinatnhd rendered him insensible. Policee pit of the stomach, which felled
constable BerlNErr, No. S 7, Division S, came up and
took the fellow to the police station. The policeman was
conveyed to Mr. EnmoNnsotes, surgeon, Judd-street,
Brunswick-square, where he died. He was afterwards
removed to the Boot public house, Cromer-street, where'-
the body now lies awaiting the result of a Coroner's In-
quest. The deceased was between 24 and 26 years of age. •

It

wand, Councillor of State, will be appointed Governor,

BERLIN, Jurtx 20.—1 t is expected that a proposal
will be made in the Polish Diet now sitting for the union I
of Lithuania with the kingdom of Poland. It is well
known that the Lithuanians have long entertained this
wish, and the Poles are equally desirous for the reunion of
that portion of ancient Poland which is under the same
sceptre as themselves. Most of the representatives hope
that this wish will be realised.

HAGUE, JUNE 24.—The news that the Supreme
Court of Justice is to have its seat in this town, as well,
as the Provisional Tribunal of Holland, has caused ge-
neral joy to the inhabitants, and filled their hearts with
gratitude to the King, by whose wise determination this
great favour is conferred upon the Hague.
