NEW CITY THEATRE.

Several petitions were presented from individuals in
the neighbourhood of Broad•street against granting p r•
n►i•sion of the present proprietor of the Milton-street
theatre, to erect a theatre in Bloomfield-street.

The petitions, after some discussion, were referred to
the Committee, to which the petition of the proprietor of
the Milton-street theatre had bren referred.
THE REFORM BILL.

The first requisition upon this subject having been read,
Mr. C. PEARSON rose and took a review of the means
pursued by Reformers ever since the reign of Elizabeth,
to obtain a Reform in Parliament, down to tine present
period. In support of the necessity of a Reform Lc
alluded to the appeal recently made by his Majesty to his
people, and their answer to it, which had created a com-
ma between the King and his people too solemn to be
broken by either party.—(Hear, hear.) He then took a
review of the conduct of certain Memb.rs who had
been sent to Parliament pledged to support " the Bill, t;.e
whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." The conduct of
some of them he likened to that of the Weird Sisters, in
Macbeth, (lancing round the flaming cauldron. and Sir C.
Wetherell exclaiming,—
" Black spirits and white, red spirits and grey,
Mingle, mingle, mingle, you that mingle may ;"
—(Loud laughter)—while they t'•rew into the boiling pot
motions and amendments, singing,

" Round, round, round, about, about, about,
All ill keep going in, all good keep going out."
(Cheers and laughter.) He could not accuse all the oppo-
sitionists of evil intentions ; for, God help them ! they
belonged to that easy class who possessed no intentions at
al!. But he expressed his astonishment at seeing that three
of the four Representatives of the City considered them-
selves exonerated from their pledges. He was surprised
to sa. one of them masquerading it with a Buckingham-
shire country gentleman, and gallopading with the Marquis
of Cliandos—another dancing an Appleby reel with the
Lowthers—and a third footing in a scot and lot reel, or
a pas de deux with the Hon. Member for Preston.—
(Loud laughter. )
Mr. PEA RSON was speaking when our reporter left.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

We have no arrivals of foreign mails this morning, con-
sequently to the present hour thee is no news. The
Dutch steamer is hourly expected, but it will not bring
later intelligence from Poland than the Hamburg Re-
porter received on Monday, unless an express has arrived
from Berlin at Amsterdam. We understand an express
has arrived from Paris, which brings the French prices;
the contents have not as yet transpired ; it will not remain
long a secret, as to-morrow is a holiday at the Stock
Exchange.
The public are much surprised that the Duchess of
Kent does not attend the Coronation. We understand
that some difference prevails in regard to etiquette.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 821 ;-1- for the Ac-
count, opened at the same price, and continue so at pre-
sent, with scarce a bargain doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.
We are quite dull in the city for want of information,
and up to the present hour the contents of the express
from Paris have not transpired, and we have reason to be-
lieve they will not, which cannot be of much importance,
with the exception of the price of the French Rentes, or
we should have more expresses than one.
Consols have been fluctuating (luring the morning from
83i down to 83i for the account. A good deal of money
stock has come to market, which is one cause of the
funds falling. At present Consols may be quoted 83k.
Toe Dutch steamer has arrived, but there is nulling new.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.
