HINTS TO ANTI-REFORMERS.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
If the Anti-Reformers will not yield to reason, perhaps the
following plain facts may startle them. We class them under
the two heads of certain and probable consequences of a rejection
of Reform.
The certain consequences will be-
1. A prolonged agitation of this dangerous question for at least
six or eight months more.

2. A considerable interruption of important Parliamentary
business for that time.
3. A state of weakness with regard to our foreign relations.
4. A stagnation of the retail, moneyed, commercial, and ma..
nufacturing interests.
5. The continued public discussion of fundamental principles
of Government by opposite classes in a state of angry excitement.
6. A collision at such a moment of the two Houses of Par.
liament.

None will deny the certainty of the occurrence of such conse-
quences ; let our Bishops calculate their final results ;
And then take the probable consequences.
1. A partial or general refusal to pay taxes or tithes.
2. A run upon the country banks, the Savings' Banks, the
Bank of England, and thence upon national credit.
3. A panic.
4. Turnings out of trades—political associations—federalism—
resistance.

5. General distress, dissatisfaction—Swing.
6. A published list of the Majority, with their places, pen-
sions, boroughs, and connections.
7. Hatred of Peerage—a large creation of Peers—depreciation
of the Peerage.
8. The present Bill with compoundinterest.
9. A Reform Bill for the Lords.

Let those who have sense and patriotism, and power, canvass
these consequences; ask themselves whither they will tend—and
then may the Lord direct their understandings.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

What we stated some days since in our city article, of the ar-
mistice between Holland and Belgium being renewed, we under-
stand is now confirmed by the arrival of a messenger from Hol-
land yesterday. We also understand that in a few days we shall
hear of the treaty being signed.
A letter from Valenciennes states that the French army on
the frontiers has been reinforced by a division of infantry, under
General Janin, and a brigade of cavalry. This new corps will
augment the army of the North to 70,000 men.
Charleston Papers have been received at the North and South
Amencan Coffeehouse, to the Sth of September. The only no-
velty in them is a frechet, which has been most destructive to
the rice crops, and caused a loss of a million and a half of dollars.

A BrazilA Mail has arrived, and brings private letters of the
9th of August. All was quiet there. Exchange on England
2,41 i. The Government is gaining strength.
The express from Paris this morning is of minor importance
to our debates on the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, which,
it is expected, will be finished in the course of to-morrow, and
it is positively asserted that the present Ministers are determined
to maintain their situations, unless they have an overwhelming
majority against them, which is not expected. The public
anxiety continues to the highest pitch for the fate of the Bill.
THE FUNDS
Consols, which left off yesterday at 80% to 81, opened at the
same price, and continue so at present, with nothing doing.
The Foreign Market is not worth noticing.
HALF-PAST ONE.

All the private letters we have seen from Rio Janeiro this
morning are very favourable, and the new Government there are
acting on the moat honourable principles • they are preparing to
send off immediately a large quantity of diamonds, specie, &c. to
meet the payment of the Brazilian dividends.
Up to the present hour there has not been the least spirit in
the Market. The lowest price of Consols has been 80% 81, and
the highest 81, at which price they are at present, with nothing
doing.
The report is that the majority last night against Ministers in
the House of Lords was 31 against the Bill.
In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock has improveed.
The accounts from the Brazil Imperial Mines are 18 working
days, at 13 pounds of gold each day.

Soon after his MAJESTY'S accession, the
Sheriffs of London, according to custom, were introduced
by the Secretary of State, when he, with what he, no
doubt, intended for wit, observed, " This, please your
MAJESTY, is Mr. -, a large ship-owner at Wapping."
" A large ship-owner at Wapping,' ;replied his MAJESTY,
" is he ? so am I ; we are, therefore, both of a trade,"
thus in the happiest manner relieving the citizens from the
awkwardness of feeling at such an introduction.-- Union
