my Royal assent, Bills for the amendment of the
Game Laws, and for the reduction of Taxes,
%cilia' pressed heavily on the industry
of my people, and I have observed with no less
pleasure the comtnencetnent of important improve-
ments in the Law of Bankruptcy, from which
the most beneficial effects may be expected.
" I continue to receive the most gratifying proofs
of the friendly disposition of Foreign Powers.

" The Conference assembled in London has at
length terminated its d;flicidt and laborious
discussions by an arrangement agreed upon by
the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Powers for
the separation of the States of Belgium and
Holland, in terms by which the interests of both,
together with the future security of other
countries, have been carefully provided for,
A treaty founded on this arrangement has been pre-
sented to the Dutch and Belgian Plenipotentiaries, and
I trust that its acceptance by their respective Courts,
which I anxiously expect, will avert the dangers by
which the peace of Europe was threatened whilst
the question remained unsettled.
" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OP COMMONS,

"I thank you for the provision made for
the future dignity and comfort of my Royal
Consort, in the event of her surviving me,
and for the supplies which !you have granted
for the service of the present year. You may be
assured of my anxious care to have them administered
with the strictest attention to a well•considered
economy.

" The state of Europe has produced the necessity
of an increased expenditure in the various establish-
ments of the public service, which it will be my ear-
nest desire to reduce wherever it can be done with
safety to the interest of the country.

" In the mean time Ihave the satisfaction of reflect-
ing that these demands have been provided for
without any material addition to the public burdens.

LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" In the interval of repose which may now be
afforded you, I am sure it is unnecessary
for me to recommend to you the most
careful attention to the preservation of tranquillity in
your respective counties. The anxiety which has been
so generally manifested by my people for the accom-
plishment of a Constitutional Reform in the Commons
House of Parliament, will, I trust, be regulated by a
due sense of the necessity of order and moderation
in their proceedings. To the consideration of
this important question the attention of Par-
liament must necessarily again be called at
the opening of the ensuing Session, and you may be
assured of my unaltered desire to prosecute its
settlement by such improvements in the repre-
sentation as may be found necessary for
securing to my people the full enjoyment
of their rights, which in combination of those of the
other orders of the State are essential to the support
of our free Constitution."

The LORD CHANCELLOR then, by command of
hia MAJESTY, prorogued the Parliament to Tuesday,
the 22d of November, to be then held for the des-
patch of business.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

It having bee❑ known that his Plsjesty intended to
prorogue Parliament this day in person, considerably be-
fore twelve o'clock ladies began to enter the House
of Lords, where they remained till after the prorogation
took place. Long before the King arrived, an immense
number of Peeresses and ladies of distinction were seated
throughout the House. The galleries were almost entirely
and exclusively filled with them, and attired as they were
in the most splendid plumes and dresses, the coup d'o?il
produced a very imposing effect.
The LORD CHANCELLOR. entered the House at One
o'clock, and the Bishop of CHICHESTER immediately pro-
ceeded to read prayers.

RESOLUTIONS INTENDED TO BE PROPOSED
By Mr. ALDERMAN WAITHMAN,
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, ON TUESDAY, THE
15th OF FEBRUARY, 1831.

I.—That it appears from papers laid before this House
on the sth of April, 1830, and ordered to be reprinted on
the 10th day of November in the same year, that con-
siderable variation has taken place in the official and real
value of British and Irish manufactures and produce ex
ported from Great Britain, from the year ending sth Jan.
1789, and the year ending sth Jan. 1830.
2.—That the official valuation, being an estimate
founded upon a rate of prices in the Custom-house books.
which had been formed at a very remote period, and re-
maining without variation, affords no criterion whatever of
present prices, but serves to show the increase and de-
crease in quantity, and the appreciation and depreciation
in price, as compared with the declared or real value.

3.—The following averages, formed from the documents
before the House, will show the yearly amount, with the
comparative yearly increase and decrease in value, upon
an average of the respective periods stated :

NEW COURT>

Charles 11Iartin, aged 26 years, was indicted for send-
ing, on the 21st December, to Frederick Braithwaite,
Esq., a threatening letter, signed Swing.

Frederick Braithwaite stated he was master of a
brewery situated in Mary-street, Hampstead-road, that the
prisoner had lived in his service for two months as dray-
man ; that some time since he discharged him, and on
the day named in the indictment he received by post the
letter iu question, which he believed to be in the hand-
writing of the prisoner.
William Wasp, brewer, in Oxford-street, stated, that the
prisoner had been in his employ for two years previous
to his living with the prosecutor; he believed the letter
to be the hand-writing of the prisoner.
The prisoner, in Isis defence, declared his innocence.
Mr. AnoLpHus conducted the c Ise for the prosecution,
and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the defence.

The CommoN SERJEANT Summed up at considerable
length and with much minuteness, reading copious ex-
tracts from the Act of Parliament under which this indict--
went was hid.

The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The following is a copy of the letter :

" Dec. 17, 1830.

" Mr. Braithwaite, you ought to be ashamed of your-
self for taking up that innocent man; your brewery ought
to be burnt down; you are a - rascal, and I would
have you be careful you are not shot before Christmas.
(Signed) " SWING."

MAItLBOROUGH-STREET.

A rough-looking son of Neptune, named Hors-
wood, was charged with being drunk, and creating a
mob in Regent-street.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said, I
should like to know what that lubber calls a noise ?
Why, your Honour, I was only chaunting—
" All in the Downs a fleet lay moored."
Mr. CONANT—What are you? Defendant—Why,
my noble Captain, I've been at sea all my life, and
having just left board-ship, I steered up Regency-
street, just to be able to let Poll know what sort of
a place this London was.
Mr. CONANT—You must pay ss. Defendant—
Lord love your Honour, I hav'lit a single shot in my
locker, and so how I can pay nobody knows; but
perhaps your Honour will lend me the money; and
if King William, who, Lord love him, is a true Bri-
tish sailor, were to hear of it, he'd do all he could
to help a brother tar out of limbo.
At this time a man said the prisoner had assaulted
him. Defendant—Why, you land-lubber, if
I'd given you a regular broadside, you would not
have been able to bring your hulk into port, much

more to come and palaver his Honour. Here, you,
Sir, (to one of the constables), go down to the
Port Admiral (his Majesty) and tell him that Jack's
in trouble.

Mr. CONANT informed him that when he was
sober he should be liberated.

The defendant, on hearing this, swore most hear-
tily that he'd drink a can of grog regularly every
day to his Honour's health (which probably he will
most religiously adhere to), and he'd take care as
how Poll should do the same. On leaving the office
he struck up with more strength than harmony—
Storms that the mast to splinters rend,
Can't shake our jovial life,
In every mess we find a friend,
In every port a wife.
TOWN-HALL

An old Irishwoman, from the Borough-market,
named Bridget Ford, charged George Brent, a mar-
ket-gardener, with spilling her blood.
" Spilling your blood, good woman ?" said Al-
derman ANSLEY, " I perceive neither wound nor
scar."—Faith, your Reverence, then it's my own
precious blood that was spilt sure enough; didn't be
take up a big root, myself forgets the name of it, and
nearly bate the two eyes out o' me, and wasn't I
bate then ?—bate ! oh that's the name of the root
sure enough.

" Beet-root," exclaimed the Alderman, laughing;
" then it was the juice of the beet-root you mistook
for blood ?"'—Biddy bridled, and said she had seen
her own blood too often not to know it from other
people's.

The defendant said he was unloading his cart and
Biddy happening to pop her head in the way, a piece
of beet-root went against her by accident.
He was discharged by paying the expenses, and
giving Biddy half-a-crown.
London, England, 1831-01-06

first battle be fortunate, Poland is free, and
NICHOLAS may look at home. Liberty or
death must now be their motto.

A. Brazil mail has arrived, but its contents
are not important. We have no room for
extracts to-day.

We are assured that the pretended conversa-

tion between Prince LEOPOLD and some un-
known person on the affairs of Belgium, as
reported in the Morning Papers, from the
Vrai Patriote, is entirely destitute of foun-
dation.

We daily receive letters from Correspondents
and others, asking whether there will not be a
Reform in the Church as well as in Parliament ?
And our answer is, " we do not pretend to know,"
—but that there ought to be a Reform we hear-
tily grant—nay, we go further—there must be a
Reform, and that ere long.

We are sincere friends to the Church Esta-
blishment, but we are not therefore blind to its
defects. It is the use, not the abuse, of clerical
duties that the people of England want. The
Church to be useful must command the re-
spect—love—veneration of the multitude—not
be prostituted to the avarice of odious plu-
ralists, who have no true Christian sympathy
with the Church, but as it serves their venality.
The very principle of pluralism is at direct issue
with Christianity ; why, then, should it be
tolerated, and that in a country professing
Protestant faith ? The thing is monstrous !
Is it not for the practice of such abuses that so
large a portion of the people have dissented from
the Church of England ?—and will there not
be an increase of such Dissenters if abuses are
continued ? That there will, we have no doubt
whatever. Indeed, the wonder is that more
have not dissented. But the present is essen-
tially a reforming age—and no Ministry can hope
to stand, be it Whig, Tory, or Liberal—that will
not promote Reform in the Church as well as
the Parliament. Men now begin to judge for
themselves—they do not take things for
granted merely because they assume tile air of
authority. People think—and thinking they
reason upon matters—they compare practice
with profession, and draw conclusions accord-
ingly as they find example square with precept.

We have already said that unless a Reform
be made in time the opportunity may be lost.
We still adhere to that opinion, and would strongly
urge upon Government to take up the matter in
a becoming spirit. Half measures will not do.
Reform, whether in Church or State, to be effec-
tual must be searching, honest, and conclusive.

We have been led to these remarks by the
following letter from an intelligent correspondent,
who has put his grievances in so clear a light
that we shall let him speak for himself:—

INFLUENCESofPLACES, PENSIONS,
and the PEERAGE, in the Composition of the
House of Commons, shown in their various ramifications.
This is the Second Part of the SPECTATOR'S ANA-
TOIIIY, and, like the First, is, in all but the name, an en-
tirely new work. The tables have been remodelled, and
many new branches have been added. The place or pen-
sion of every Member who has place or pension is shown,
With the amount of the places, pensions, and emoluments
of the kindred of Members of Parliament. To the list of
Members connected with the Peerage, is added another
list, showing, at a glance, how many relatives, and conse-
quently what personal influence, independent of nomina-
tion, any Peer has in the Lower House. The various
trading, mercantile, and professional classes, will also be dis-
tinctly identified. The table of the East India Company's
connections will exhibit a list of nearly sixty Members, and
the nature of the connection will be shown in the case of each
Member. The other interest will be treated in the same
method, so as to exhibit the probable bias of each Mem-
ber of the House of Commons in many important ques-
tions, where partial interests come into play and influence
the decision. To meet the continued demand for the First
Part of the "Anatomy," published in last week's" SPEC-
TATOR," a fresh impression has just been made ; but,
after to-day, no further supply can bz? provided, and the
expensiveness of the typography will preclude any reprint
of the number. As the supply is thus necessarily limited,
persons desirous of obtaining copies should make an early
application, either to their newsmen or at the publishing
office, 4, Wellington-street, Strand.

BRIGHTON, J.N. 5.

The KING and QUEEN drove out together yesterday in a
chariot and four, with outriders ; left the Palace soon after
three o'clock, and returned at twenty minutes after four.
The Princesses ELI/ma-Alt and AUGUSTA took an airing
in a carriage, and drove through various parts of the town.
Prince GEORGE of Catnbiidge was for a considerable
time on horseback.

The arrivals at the Palace include Viscount INIELBOURNX
and Lord ARRAN.
The calls were numerous at the Palace.

Their MaairmEs gave a splendid evening party. The
State apartments were thrown open, and brilliantly illu-
minated. Most of the Nobility and Gentry at present in
Brighton were present. Amongst them were the Marquis
and Marchioness of BRISTOL, the Marquis and Marchioness
of CARMARTHEN, the Marchioness WELLESLEY, Count
and Countess MUNSTER, Lcrd and Lady LYNDHURST, Sir
G. and Lady ANsoN, Bishop of CHICHESTER and family,

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.

A Buenos Ayres mail has arrived, sailed on the 12th of
October, which is of an old date; also a mail from Rio
Janeiro, left on the 16th of November, by which two
English papers, printed at Rio on the 116, have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-house,
from which we give the following :—They contain
the Marquis of BAthacena's letter to his Excellency the
Viscount Alcantara on the different charges against him by
the Decree of the 30th of September. On the Otis inst. a
deputation was sent by the Chamber of Senators, request-
ing a union of the two }louses to discuss and fini,h the
law of fixing the receipt and expenditure for the ensuing
year ; last year the Chamber closed without a law to that
effect.

The Government proposed to the Chamber that it
should he authorized to nominate a Commission to proceed
to London, in order to examine and close the accounts of
the Brazilian Legation, which was referred to a Com-
mittee, which authorized the Minister of Finance to
nominate a Commission of three Members to go immedi-
ately to London.
They write from Geneva, that the Federal Commission
of Inspection has proposed to the Diet assembled at Berne
the adoption to put on foot 75,000 men, which are to be
ready to march at the first notice.

* The Prince used a stronger term.

On Wednesday night last a young man, of
the name of EDWARD GODFREY, being in a delicate state
of health, was attended by his wife, who incautiously took
a pan with some tuff fire into the room fur the purpose
of warming drinks. There was no fire-place in the
room. The wife intended to remain at the bedside, for
the purpose of attending to hint. She knelt down to
pray. Unfortunately the door and window being closed,
and there being no ventilation, the husband and wife were
in a short time overpowered with the heat, and lay sense-
less on the floor. The first person who came to their
assistance was a young man who slept convenient, and
was awoke by the convulsed groans. Ile burst in the
door, and found them (alas ! too late) quite lifeless. Me-
dical aid was procured, and, by the great exertions of Dr.
JOBN CRUAIrE and Dr. Qum., they succeeded in restor-
ing the husband to life. The unhappy wife was par-
tially relieved ; but it was only to show her for a few
minutes (although in the strength of youth and health)
that she and her unborn infant were sinking to an un-
timely grave. Poor GODFREY was not many months
married, and the wife of his affections was torn from his
arms in an advanced state of pregnancy.— Tralee

EARL HOWE.

Mr. TREVOR stated that a few evenings ago he
had put a question to the Noble Paymaster of the
Forces relative to the dismi,sal of a Noble Earl from the
Chamberlainship to the Queen, and the answer...was that that
Noble Earl had tendered his resignation, which was ac-
cepted. Subsequently, however, he had received a letter
from the Noble Eat, with whom he had had no previous
acquaintance, stating, that if the answer attributed by the
Papers was such as the Noble Paymaster had given, it was
at variance with the facts—(Hear from the Opposition)—
and the Noble Earl had put him in possession of the facts
as they occurred, leaving him at liberty to make what use
he thought proper of thern.—(Cries of, " Read, read.")
The Hon. Member then read the letter, which stated, that

if the answer of Lord John Russell in the papers were
correctly stated, it was at variance with the facts ; or
the information the Noble Lord had received was not cor- •
rect. The facts were these :—ln May, for the second time,
he had submitted to his Majesty that it was his intention to
vote against the Reform Bill, and that he was consequently
willing to resign. His Majesty requested him to retain his
place, stating that he was independent of politics, being
in her Majesty's household. He was therefore allowed to
vote, and nothing but the positive request of Lord Grey,
after he had voted, was the cause of his dismissal.—(llear.)
The Hon. Member now asked the Noble Lord opposite,
whether it were true that the Noble Earl was dismissed
for his vote, notwithstanding the previous clear under-
standing ?
Lord ALTHORP—The Hon. Gentleman bad asked
on what ground it was that the Noble Earll
had retired
from the Queen's chamberlainship. He considered it clear
that it seas the prerogative of the Crown, either
to retain or remove any person from the Royal
Household ; and also that it was contrary to his duty, as
a Minister of the Crown, to give any reasons fur any thing
his Majesty might think proper to do in the exercise of.
that prerogative.—(Cheers.)
The NOBLE Loan then moved the order of the day fur
the third reading of the Bankruptcy Courts Bill.

REFORM BILL.

The following is a copy of the reply of Earl Grey to a
letter from Sir J. C. Hobhouse, accompanying the Addres,
from the householders of St. George's, Hanover-square :
" Downing-street, Oct. 15, 1831.

" DEAR have had the pleasure of receiving your
letter of the 14th, with the accompanying Addresses from
the electors of Westminster, from the parish of St. Anne,
and from the householders of St. George's, Hanover-square.
" The expressions of approbation and confidence with
which we are honoured in these Addresses have afforded
the highest gratification to my colleagues and to myself.

" It will be our most anxious wish to merit a continu-
ance of these sentiments, which we know can only be se-
cured by a steady, consistent, and persevering conduct, di-
rected to the accomplishment of a real Reform in the re-
presentation of the people, not less efficient than that which
has been so lately rejected.
" A Bill for this purpose will be offered to Parliament
immediately on the opening of the next Session, and in the
me in time we hope we shall not be thought to claim too
large a credit in requesting you to be assured that all our
measures will be taken with a view to the most effectual
means of ensuing-the success of this important object.
"I have the honour to br, dear Sir, your obedient servant,
" GREY."

ADDRESSES TO HIS_MAJESTY.

This forenoon at twelve o'clock a very numerous de-
putation, consisting of the churchwardens, overseers, and
the leading inhabitants of the parish of St. Leonard's,
Shoreditch, waited upon Earl Grey, at his residence in
Downing-street, with a dutiful and loyal address to his
Majesty, which had been agreed to at a public meeting,
and signed by nearly all the parishioners, thanking
his Majesty for the patriotism and firmness which he
had hitherto displayed, and praying him to retain his pre-
sent Ministers, and to exercise his prerogative to insure
the ultimate and speedy success of the Reform Bill.
The deputation, which was contained in four open
carriages, having presented the petition, and received his
Lordship's answer, withdrew.

and kind feeling of his countrymen, and he was confident
that they would not bring in a verdict of guilty. What-
ever advice should be offered as to the time of prorogation,
the people of England might rest assured that it would be
given on a soleran principle of public duty, and with a
view to the carrying of that measure to which none could
feel more devoted than himself and his colleagues. The
public would see when that measure was again before
Parliament, the candour with which they had acted, and
that the period that would intervene was no longer than
was required, be would not say in justice but in mercy.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
The 'House adjourned at a Quarter before Nine o'clock.

FRENCH PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, OCT. 14.

The discussion of the Peerage Bill was resumed.
Montepin moved that the Chamber should pass to
the previous question on all the amendments and sub-
amendments having for their object the nomination of the
Peels by the system of candidateebip, under any modifica-
tion whatever. This motion was carried by a large
majority.
M. Giraud de la Drome proposed to reduce the amount
o f taxeg to 3,000 f. per annum, which was agreed to.
M. de Moshourg argued that the Chamber, by adopting
the paragraph as now proposed, would undo all the good
it had done by rejecting the principle of an hereditary
Peerage, since, by allowing pecuniary eminence alone to
be a title to eligibility, a worse privilege than even that of
hereditary descent was established. He therefore pro-
posed to add to the paragraph the words. " Provided
they have been for six years Members of a Municipal
Council."

On this proposition being put to the vote, the two ex-
tremes of the Chamber, who, during all the early part of
the discussion had abstained from voting, rose in favour of
it. The show of hands being doubtful, a ballot was
called for, the re.ult of which was SS follows :

On the announcement of this tnajority some applause

T a MEETING of the INHABI-
TANTS of EDINBURGH and its Vicinity, held
in the Grelt Ilootn of the Waterloo Hotel, on Friday,
the 14th October, IS3I,
Sir JOHN il. DALRYMPLE, Bart. in the Chair,

The following Resolutions were unanimously adortel :-
1. That this Meeting regards with deep regret and serious ap-
prehension the rejection of the Reform Bill by the House of
Lords, in opposition to the Commons House of Parliament and
the voice of the people,—such a proceeding being not less dan-
gerous to the authority and influence of their Lordships' House,
than subversive of the just claims and earnest hopes of the nation.
2. That a loyal and dutiful Address be presented to our Most
Gracious and Patriotic King, humbly assuring his Majesty of our
unaltered attachment to this great measure of Reform, our un-
abated confidence hi his Majesty's Ministers, and our hope that
their effiirts in'impport of it will soon be successful ; and im-
ploring his Majesty, by every exercise of his Royal Prerogative,
to secure its earliest possible accomplishment.
3. That a Memorial be presented to Earl Grey, entreating that
his Lordship and his colleagues will not resign their offices, but
will, in the present momentous crisis, continue to discharge
those duties, by their highly able and faithful performance of
which they have acquired the entire confidence and firm sup-
port Of the nation.
4. That the Address to his Majesty be forwarded to Earl Grey,
with a request that his Lordship would present the same to his
Majesty. JOHN H. DALRYMPLE, Bart. Chairman.
