REFORM OF PARLIAMENT (IRELAND) BILL.
On the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the
Reform of Parliament (Ireland) Bill,
Mr. LEFRO Y objected to proceeding with the measure,
contending that Irish Members could not suppose, after the
declaration of the Noble Lord at the head of the Home Office,
that no important business, which was not pressing, should be
proceeded with, that this measure was to be hurried through.
He therefore should object to the House going into Committee.
Mr. Sergeant WOULFE said that great injustice would
be done to the electors of Ireland if the Bill did Int pass
into a law during the present Session. He therefore trusted
that no delay would take place—that delay was not necessary,
as the Bill did not introduce any new principle.
Mr. Sergeant G 0 ULB URN said that the measure being
introduced on a day on which the House had met for mere
formal business, he hoped some other day would be appointed
for discussing the measure in Committee.
Lord HO WICK considered that the Bill was one of such
importance that it ought to be proceeded with at once. It
was more especially necessary as they were at the present mo-
ment, on the eve of a general election, and the object of the
Bill being to correct a defect in the present law.
Mr. SHAW said that the introduction of the Bill at the
present moment was for the purpose of advocating a particular
interest just before a general election. The present Bill was
most partial, as it only affected the county of Cork. If the
Noble Lord would bring in a general Bill, extending to
all parts of Ireland, he would give it his best attention ;
but he would never agree to so partial a measure as the
present. _ _ _

Sir G. GREY thought the Bill should be proceeded with,
and the fact of a general election being at hand rendered it
more necessary. It had been said the Bill was partial. He de-
nied that it was so, as it applied to every borough in Ireland.
Colonel PERCEVAL opposed the proceeding with the Bill ;
as did Sir E. KNATCHBULL and Mr. ESTCOURT.

Mr. C. BULLER, Mr. CALLAGHAN, and Sir G. SINCLAIR,
thought the House ought to go into Committee on the Bill.
Lord J. RUSSELL thought the present measure must be
considered as a public one, and that great injury would take
place unless it was allowed to proceed. When he stated that none
but pressing measure, 'should he proceeded with it in the
course of the present Session, he never intended to exclude
from the consideration of the House so important a measure
as the present, the object of I%hich was to correct a defect in
the existing law.
After some further observations from Mr. SHAW and
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Committee on the Bill was
postponed un it Monday.
PARLIANIENTARY ELECTIONS BILL.

The Parliamentary Elections Bill went through Committee.
On the motion of Mr. E L PHINSTO NE, the Lords'
amendments to the Liverpool Improvement Bill were agreed to.
On the Order of the Day being read for receiving the report
on th• Final Register of Electors' Bill,
Mr. Sergeant G 0 [MB URN said he should consider it his
duty to take the sense of the House on the motion if he stood
alone, as the Bill had been framed for the purposes of the ge-
neral election, and that alone.
Mr. WA K LEY defended the Bill, and trusted that the
Hon. Member would stand alone in his opposition.
After a Few lobservations from Sir C. BROKE VERB,
strangers were ordered to withdraw.

M. Sergeant G 0 UL BURN having moved that the House
should be counted, there being 40 Members present, including
the Speaker, the House proceeded, and the report was received.
The Municipal Rates Bill was further considered. The
Bill was ordered to be engrossed, and the third reading was
fixed for Monday.
The Cruelty to Animals Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed on Monday.
The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Two o'Clock to
Three o'Clock on Monday.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have seen private letters received this morning from
Lisbon of the 25th ult. All was perfectly tranquil there, and
the Minister of Finance proposed to levy a duty on ground-
rent, which was agreed to, and the Minister appears to be in
very high spirits.

the New York packet, which is daily expected, no doubt
is prevented reaching our shores by the easterly winds.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 92k for the Account,
opened this morning at 92k for the Account ; Exchequer
Bills 33 prem. ; India Bonds 34 prem. ; Bank Stock 200 k.
In the Foreign Market little doing as yet ; Spanish Active
closed at 21A- ex. Coupons, opened at 22 with the Coupons;
Portuguese 43i; Three per Cents. 28. i; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. 53; a.
Accounts from Falmouth of the 29th of June state that the
Peninsula steamer had arrived there ; left Malaga on the 19th
ult., Cadiz 21st, and Lisbon, 25th ult. At Lisbon all was
tranquil, and the Ministry remained without change.
The Minister of Finance held forth a hope that he would
in a great measure be able to redeem the credit of the coun-
try, if circumstances permitted his remaining in office. Ac-
counts had reached Lisbon from Algarve, which state the
force of Remechido as having successfully discomfited the re-
gular troops sent against them, taking several prisoners, and
shooting part of them, with their officers. The Cortes were
chiefly occupied with the clauses of the new Constitution.
The English fleet continued in the Tagus.
At Cadiz a report was current on the departure of the
steamer, that the Christinos had obtained a complete victory
over the Carlists, in which the latter lost 5,000 in killed and
wounded. The news did not obtain credit.
HALF-PAST ONE.

We do not hear of any further arrivals up to the present
time, either from France or Spain, although there has been
some business doing in the Spanish Funds. Active has im-
proved from 22:,} to 22i1,- 2:3, with the Coupons.
Consols have continued steady during the morning at 924
for the Account. In the British securities little has been
doing:. Money continues very scarce, and five per cent, is
readily given. Exchequer Bills lower, 32 prem. ; India
Bonds lower, 32 prem. ; Bank Stock, 205 209.
Portuguese has improved to 43i; Three per Cents., 274;
Dutch Two and a Half, 52,E a ex dividends; Colombia, 241;
Brazilian, 841.
The Shar(;- Market is vs ry firm.—Stephenson's Brighton

prem. ; London and Birmingham to 61 prem. ; and Cro3 don

were thrown into the greatest state of consternation
and alarm, in consequence of a fracas which occurred at the
door of No. 48 of the above square, the residence of the Hon.
General Meade where a young gentleman of the name of
Long, most fashionably attired, was.endezvouring to force his
way into the house, and, after some violent language, knocked
down the footman, who strove to oppose his entrance. On
the assistance of the police coming up he attacked them most
desperately, and succeeded in knocking down several of them.
A number of the spectators interfered, and endeavoured to se-
cure him, but with no better success, as the gentleman fought
desperately, and one after the other bit the dust. A large
body of police, however, opportunely coming up, Mr. Long
was overpowered, and with some difficulty secured and con-
veyed to the station-house in Marylebone-lane, a large crowd
following him there, many of them bearing strong marks of the
encounter. On his arrival his conduct was so violent that a
straight waistcoat was procured and put on him, thus prevent-
ing him from doing any further injury. It was afterwa ds
certained that the unfortunate gentleman was insane ; and it
was reported that the cause of his extraordinary conduct was
a desire to ace one of the daughters of the gallant general, to
whom he had formed an attachment, which was discounte-
' danced by her family. Lord Liridport shortly after waited on
Mr. Long at the station-house, anti stated that the unfortu-
nate gentleman had only dined with him in Portland-place
the day previously. Mr. L. was ultimately placed in a coach,
and conveyed to a private lunatic asylum.

MAZAZINE DAY.

BLA CK WOO MAGA2iii

cc Sir John Sinclair " is an interesting notice
61 b! df Whioi We
made honourable mention some weeks since in :tht"
Sun. The tale of " Trevanion," which forms the first
HP n ioolioJ iii illit:ti•rttion of ft. provincial " Picture
Gallery," is brought to a concinsion. fkl!lrio.fe
the " Picture Gallery" will be continued, for the sub-
jeCt Aftoßl4 oteellimt materials for a variety of tales
grave and gay, asp any one nifty imagine tvbty has ever
visited one of those old=fashiorted galleries, in which
so many of our old Tamil ltitttiswhs alioundi particu-
larly in the West of England. " Crystals front A
Cavern" is no misnomer, for it is rich in brilliant
thoughts, expressed with much felicity. We subjoin
a few of them :

3. " As one who at broad noonday should close the windows
and doors of his house, and stop every crevice to keep cut the
light that it may not dim the shining of kis candles, and should
then strike a spark in this corner and that, and rejoice in see-
ing here a match and there a taper, and think bow much
nobler it is to enjoy this illumination of his own than to owe
aught to the sun—so is he who shuts himself in the chambers
of his self-will, and darkens himself against the radiance of
truth. Poor man, he knows not in the pride of his inde-
pendence that even his weak and meagre glimmer is a witness
to some higher source of light than himself, whose effluence
he did not create but only appropriate and obscure.
4. " To the:eye of Faith, and of Science too, which without
fa:th is but a catalogue of names, every grain of dust is sur-
rounded with its own coloured and life-sustaining atmosphere,
and turns on the poles of a principle, that is, of a life go-
verned by a law.
5. " Ariel imprisoned in the pine, such is the view of man's
spirit, if evil be but hinderance and difficulty. 13ut if evil
be guilt, be sin, man is an Ariel, pent not ►n the trunk of
the pine, but in the heart of Caliban, filled with the same
life-blood, stirred by the same emotions, and feeling every
hideous temptation that assails or resides in that bestial form,
and condemned to regard it as the companion and instrument
of all his acts. From that dismal bondage no magic wand,
no sage charming of a human Prospero can call the captive
forth."

The " Athenian Democracy" does justice to the
eloquence and research displayed in Mr. Bulwer's late
publication on this subject ; but condemns him too
hastily for the democratic turn of his mind. We sup-
pose the Reviewer would have him be exclusively
aristocratical in his notions. Tempered by discretion,
and disciplined by commerce with mankind, the demo-
cratic spirit is precisely that of all others best calcu-
lated to win a man renown in the world's eye. Aris-
tocracy is selfish, and an egotist ; but cthe antagonist
principle is the nurse of high thoughts and generous
feelings ; it encourages' a man to go out of himself,
and bear in mind, with Posthumus, that " there arc
livers out of Britain." To be a Democrat, is not to
be an Ultra-Radical ; but, on the contrary, to be Ca-
tholic instead of sectarian. The " World we Live
in" furnishes us with some sagacious and pertinent
remarks on the subject of conversation. The writer
very properly scouts the claims of all the Joe Miller
school of after-dinner anecdote-mongers. But why
does he wax so wroth with " Conversation Sharpe,"
who, though certainly no conjuror, was yet a gentle-
man of well-instructed mind, agreeable powers of
' small-talk, and remarkable for the uniform affability
of his address ? " The Cabinet" is a clever political
jeux d'esprit, on the High Tory side of the question,
of course. The " Revolt of the Tartars" is the most
delightful historiette we have read for many a day.
Fiction, we suspect, is mixed up with it, but not to
the injury of fact ; it is merely called in to fill up a
mcagre.outline. The " Barber's Supper" is a capital
extravaganza ; and the biographical sketch of " Ber-
ryer" as amusing as anything can be, that has refer-
ence to a lawyer. Altogether, the Number is the best
we have seen for the year. It is not all whipt-sylla-
bub, but blends the instructive with the purely amus-
ing, in a very effective manner.
