LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1831.

As the accounts of the Quarter's Revenue
will not be made up till a late hour this even-
ing, we shall not attempt to mislead our readers
by guessing at the probable amount ourselves,
nor give currency to the unfounded anticipa-
tions of others. A few hours will reveal the
truth—and that is all we want.

We beg to call the attention of Louis
PHILIP'S Government to the formidable display
of troops—German, Prussian, and Dutch,
amounting to upwards of 300,000 men, with a
" great quantity of artillery in particular,"
now concentrated oh the Rhine. If these de-
monstrations, coupled with Austrian prepara-
tions on the frontiers of Italy, bode any good to
the " Citizen Kingship" of Louis PHILIP" and
his " revolutionary people," as the despots term
them, we shall be very much surprised—that's
all. By the way, has the Duchess of 13ERat's
present movements any connection with this mi-
litary pageant ? Or is it true that her son, HENRY
the FIFTH, is to be proclaimed so soon as
the necessary plans are ready ? A singular cir-
cumstance relative to this latter affair is men-
tioned by our City Correspondent, to which we
refer.

The news from Poland, which we received
yesterday afternoon, would seem to imply that
the Russians had actually effected the passage of
the Vistula, and that the Poles were in a
critical situation, According to Berlin accounts,
But we must wait for more authentic statements.
The Chronicle of this morning, in reference
to the Poles, makes the following observations,
in the correctness and justice of which we cor-
dially agree ;

,6 We consider the peace and prosperity of Europe to
be in some measure bound up with the success of the
Poles, for we are almost certain, that if after the
gallant stand they have made against the Russians,
they should be at length overpowered, the disgust
of the french people would know no bounds, and the
reign of Louis Philip would come to a sorry con-
clusion. There wants only some such excitement to
rouse the population of Europe, aow hardly able to re-
strain themselves, and dearly will the Monarch of
Prussia (a good man in many respects) repent that
he has been led by a policy (the fruit of the crimes
of his predecessors) to aid the Autocrat in his ua.
holy attempts against a brave nation struggling for
existence. If the Sovereigns of Europe knew their true
iuterests, they would unite in compelling the Autocrat to
do justice to the Poles,"

In the House of Lords last night, the Earl
of HAREWOOD brought forward a charge
against the LORD CHANCELLOR, relative to

the appointment to the Magistracy of a gen-
tleman who, in the Noble Earl's opinion,
was an unfit person for such an honour, from
which the Noble CHANCELLOR, as usual ably
and triumphantly exonerated himself, Lord
HAREwooID had little to say in reply, except to
repeat over and over again that he had no per-
sonal feeling towards the individual (a gentleman
named MICHAEL STORKS), but was actuated
in his opposition to his appointment solely
because he " felt for the magistracy." Such
feeling is no doubt laudable, and does infinite
credit to his Lordship's heart, though, for the
life of us, we cannot understand why he should
entertain such reverence for the magisterial cha-
racter. It is far from excelling in wisdom, or
exhibiting a pattern of disinterestedness, as the
wholesale indiscriminate convictions under the
Game Laws attest almost every day, in almost
every county throughout the lcindoni. The
recent committal to prison of the poor, un-
friended Turk, BEN HYAM, because he had
g
been robbed of his property, and did not
like to be robbed still further by the waste
of time necessarily attendant on a prose-
cution, was the act of that " magistracy" for
which Lord HAREWOO professes to feel so
acutely.served
in
of-nfeo woef yheirs let
,
as his late MAJESTY ob-
served to his aggrieved wife,
" there is no accounting for one's feelings," and
we give the Noble Earl the benefit of this ex-
planation.

In the House of Commons, after Ministers
had to a certain extent accounted for the

untoward introduction in the Reform Bill of
that clause regulating a portion of the elective
franchise, Lord J. RUSSELL moved the second
reading of the Bill ; which brought forward Sir
J. WA LSII, who, in a speech, temperate indeed,
and grammatical, but full of shallow reasoning,
moved, by way of amendment, that the Bill be
read a second time that day six months. Mr.
FYNES CLINTON seconded the amendment, in.
a style and with a spirit worthy of himself and
his subject, after which Sir J. MACINTOSH rose
and spoke in favour of the Bill, with so much
eloquence and animation, as to command the
undivided attention of the House. At a late
hour the debate was adjourned over till to-night.
