LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1836.

We call upon all true Reformers throughout the
kingdom now to look to that one thing needful—the
REGISTRATION. In order to facilitate that ob-
ject, the REFORM ASSOCIATION has published the
requisite information for the guidance of Electors, and
which we have copied into another column of The Sun.

The Reasons and Amendments of the Lords were
last night disposed of by the House of Commons in
the only way consistent with the honour and dignity
of the House. They were, under the courteous form
of being ordered to be taken into consideration this day
three months, rejected without discussion. This was
the only course left open to the representatives of the
people. They had already done all that could in rea-
son be required of them, to keep up a good under-
standing with the irresponsible branch of the Constitu-
tion. They had in the concessions which they made
to the Peers evinced a moderation and a con-
ciliatory spirit, which, while it was highly
honourable to them, left their intractable oppo-
nents entirely without excuse. To go a step, or
even an inch farther in the way of conces-
sion, would have been humiliating. The sole blame
of whatever consequences may result from the injustice
and outrage done to the Irish nation, and from the
pig-headed opposition to the wishes, so openly and so
often expressed, of the people of England and Scotland,
must now rest with the House of Lords. They are
the agitators, if agitation arise. They are the
stirrers-up of sedition, if the agitation should reach
that point. They are the abettors of rebellion,
should the people, goaded to desperation, betake
themselves to violent courses, and taking the re-
medy- in their own hands, apply it to the evil
in their own way. We do not fear any lawless at-
tempts to right themselves on the part of the people.
They are too strong to require the aid of any other
auxiliaries than their own intelligence and firmness.
Twenty-four millions against 170 individuals—these
individuals too labouring many of them under mental
or bodily decrepitude—need not fear the success of
their cause. But this we may say, that the patience
of the people has been put to the test, and that bad
they no more sense than the Lords, they would soon
pull down an old house about their Lordships' ears.

The " Reasons" sent down from the Hereditaries to
the Commons, are a fair specimen of those from whom
they emanated—disingenuous, feeble, and false. How
must an honest mind revolt from the disgusting
hypocrisy of these reason-hunting Imbeciles, who
state that the Lords are anxious to keep up the
good understanding that at present prevails between the
two Houses, when the whole world knows that the
Houses are at daggers drawing with one another.
What will be the next move on the political board
it is not easy to say. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, are inclined
to think that the measure will be assented to by
the Lords after the lapse of a few months ; that is to
say, that having mounted a high horse, it is infra dig.
in their Lordships to dismount rapidly—they must
have a little time to perform their evolutions
decently, if not gracefully. It may be so—but we
trust the Commons will use their Constitutional
privilege of addressing the Throne on this occasion.
Whether they do or not, the people need not be told
what course it is their duty to pursue. They have had
woful experience of the consequences of irresponsible
legislation. They must now try whether the Upper
House cannot be made responsible. Sir ROBERT
PEEL, indeed, told us 14;54 night that they are re-
sponsible—to GOD. SS are all men, yet we cannot
dispense with the gallows.

The Paris papers of Wednesday received this morn-
ing, bring no news of any importance. The regicide
ALIBEAUD had underwent several examinations, but
