King at the King's own table. Upon this occasion
his Royal Highness with singular good taste turned
his glass upside down ; in order to mark in the most
public manner his determination not to drink the
toast proposed by his Sovereign. Yet are these two
Dukes now such intimate friends, that one may say
of them, like the two M.P.'s in the pamphlet of
"Anticipation," " they have but one idea between
them." This ominous conjunction undoubtedly
bodes no good to the country ; at the same time
we do not fear its baleful effects, because we feel
convinced, as we before stated, that the people will
be true to themselves. It is, however, in any case
adviseable, that they should be made acquainted I
with the plots and intrigues which their enemies are
endeavouring to form against them.--Morn. Chron.
In the House of Commons last night, Sir Francis
Burdett presented a petition from " the Rev, Robert
Taylor," complaining of the undue severities to
which he was exposed in Horsemonger-lane
He abstained from entering into any particular de-
tails, because, as some of the complaints had already
been remedied, he trusted that this public notice
might lead to their complete correction.. Mr. Deni-
son, it will be seen, stated what requests had been
made, and how far they had been complied with,
admitting that, on the subject of free correspondence
—intercourse with friends—admission of books and
papers—the transmission of letters, &c., the Ma-
gistrates had imposed considerable limitations. At
the same time that he vindicated the conduct of the
Magistrates, he expressed his regret that the prose.
cution had taken place; and in this sentiment several
Members joined, they considering, offensive as had
been the conduct of Taylor, that these prosecutions
made martyrs and not converts, and spread senti-
ments that would otherwise not have been so
generally disseminated. They also condemned
the interdiction of free correspondence, and in-
tercourse with friends, so long as they were
not inconsistent with the security of the prisoner,
and the good government of the gaol; arid they
remarked on the unseemly anomaly presented by
the cases of C'arlile and Taylor, two precisely si-
milar characters, being subjected to the most dissi-
milar treatment, although imprisoned within only a
mile or two of each other, the former being allowed
the freest correspondence and intercourse, while the
latter was, avowedly, so very differently treated.
Lord Milton, in presenting a petition from persons
residing in Gloucestershire, praying for the total,
but gradual, repeal of the" Corn Laws," expressed
his approbation of its prayer. Mr, limit took oc-
casion to express the hope that he might be able to
bring forward his motion for the repeal of the Corn.
Laws—art opportunity that he was anxious to have,
" as he probably might not be in the next Partia-
ment." Mr. James (of Carlisle) observed that when-
ever such motion was brought forward lie should be
happy to second it. By five o'clock (the Speaker,
pursuant to the new arrangement, having taken the
Chair at three o'clock) the House again resolved
into Committee on the English Reform 11i11; and
by seven o'clock the Committee had sanctioned the
justice and policy of exterminating, by retaining
in schedule A, the following boroughs, in addition
to the twenty boroughs previously disposed of
Hedon, Heytesbury, Higham Ferrers, Ilindon,
Ilchester (upon which one of its Members, Mrs
Petre, briefly said, " requiescat in pace !"),Ea•t.
Looe, West Looe, Losrwithel, Ludgershall, Mid.
hurst, and Milbortie Port. Their extinction
was voted without any division, and in some
instances without one " farewell" remark. The
next borough in the list, " Minehead," was defended
by Mr. Luttrell, who proposed, on the ground of the
population contained in the two parishes in which
it was situated, that it should be trataer.ied to sche-
dule B. That was resisted, it being contended that
the question us to making out the population by
resorting to two parishes had been settled in the ins
stance of Appleby. After some desultory di.;ous-
sion the opponents declined going to a division; and
its retention in schedule A was confirmed. Newport,
Newton, and Newtown (Hants), followed, but the
last named one gave rise to some skirmishing as to
the duties and obligations of representatives to-
wards their constituents, in consequence of Mr.
Hudson Gurney observed that its Members had
never made such spectacles of themselves, for "men
and angels," as had the four Members for the city
of London. Lord .1. Russell expressed his regret
that there should be such constant allusion to what
had been so often denied, and maintained that in-
quiries as to the Members' sentiments were perfectly
justifiable. He added that it would be very satis-
factory to know whether the representatives of
Peers were never "asked" what were their seriti.
menus on particular questions ? This borough was
eventually admitted to be entiticd to remain in
schedule A, as were Orford, l'eterstield, and Plymp-
ton. Thu further consideration of the Reform Bill
was then postponed.—Morning Herald.

It is amusing enough to hear the Members for
rotten boroughs talk of " their independence," be-
cause there is no constituency to exercise a consti-
tutional controul over their conduct, and to call
them to account for negligence or delinquency.
Truly, if a seat in Palliament be conferred upon a
gentleman for his own pleasure, or the gratification
of his own vanity, he has a right to use it as h.er
pleases, without being sulject to any troutTesotne
responsibility or stern surveillance, Whether he
makes it subservient to his interests or his pastime
is not the affair of any body else. It is, for the
Bette being, his seat—and " shall he not do what he
likes with his own ?" If a seat be granted by a
patron, he alone has a right to question the conduct
of the person who occupies it,,, tb,e latter awes no
obedience to the will of th?. con-wry... 4 has hut
to look to tile term; of the contract which he has
entered izito with the patron, in whose livery he is
arrayed, and of the badge of whose service he 1,,
proud. Into that service he is taken, and from that
service he may be discharged, accordi,rz to the wh.itn
or caprice of the patron, wh,-.4.34 eontroul over his
Parliamentary lacon,ie4 is as complete and mles-.
tionable as c. 7,?.; liis domestic footmen. Th,e one
shad ;lot sit on his green morocco cushions in St.
Stephen's, or the other figure behind his carriage
longer than he pleases, They are both menials of
different grades,-._and the Senatorial robe of the one
and the shoolderlknotted coat of the other, are
equally i' decorated" with the trappings of servitude.
He who purchase.; a seat, and pays for it at the
" fair market price" that regulates this foul traftio,
may indeed boast of his" independence" 4-,,,1e sense
with some show of reason, It '..t.' his own, as the
lady's wig was her own '4;44, because she bought it.
Such a man trtzzi attend or not in his pl;!ce in Parha,.
ment, :i4-te may taunt the distresses of the ;oantry,
and ridicule the petitions of tl. i.eople, if he
can speak; he may sleep th:c.aigh the debate, and
give his mute vote bgainst every measure of im-
provement ; if he cannot, who shall call him to
account ? Is he not independent P Independent
of what ?—not of the hand of power that slips
the collar over hia ;wok, and ties him up in its
venal kennel, having bought him as surely as lie has
bought his seat ; but he is independent of the people
..:.
lie is free from the eontrotil of a constitue;,cy .1 he
may laugh to scorn the voice and the opinion of his
country. Herein consists h.',5 '.'t independence." But
it is this very independence that has degraded the
House of t:Jrnmons from its popular majesty into
the appendage of a power which is not that of the
Constitution, and has exercised a fatal influence on
the interests of England. We have been induced to
make these retrao;ks by observing that some of those
