THE BILL.

(FROM OUR SHEFFIELD CORRESPONDENT.)
This has indeed been a joyous day (Thursday) of con-
gratulation, not so much because the people of England
have a majority of one on the second reading of the noble
charter of William the Fourth, but from the universal
determination it has given rise to, of securing by every
legal means, the return of Members, in the event of a dis-
solution of Parliament, that will vote for " the whole Bill
and nothing but the Bill." It is most devoutly wished
here by all classes, that Ministers, on the Committee, will
not yield one iota of the measure. If they find they can-
not carry it entire, that they will throw themselves on the
loyalty of the people by dissolving the House, the majority
of the Members of which seem unworthy the name of
Englishmen, and will he long remembered by their consti-
tuents, especially those who can boast of having any.
The humbler classes here, duly appreciating the high
compliment paid them in the House of Lords on Monday
night by their late representative, Lord Brougham, are
forming themselves into committees for the purpose of
aiding by every means in their power, the glorious cause,
the success of which all true-hearted and virtuous English-
men have so much at heart.

At a meeting of the Council of the Political Union,
held this (Thursday) evening, the subject was eloquently,
spiritedly, and manfully advocated and recommended in a
letter from a Number of intelligent mechanics assembling
at Mr. Ellison's, pledging themselves to contribute weekly
to enable Yorkshire, should a dissolution take place, to
return four Members, free of expense, who will support
" the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." Indeed,
such is the enthusiasm which prevails, that not all the
wealth of India could secure the return of Mr. Duncombe,
and such like milk-and-water gentlemen as Mr. Be thel 1,
The next four Members fur this county are already de-
cided upon, viz., Lord Morpeth, Sir J V. B. Johnstone,
George Strickland, Esq., and R. M. Beverley, Esq.,
whom the people will carry into Parliament in defiance
of all the boroughmongering, banking, East India and
Canadian monopolies that exist.
It is hoped here that the names of the majority and mi-
nority will he exhibited in every newspaper in the king-
dom, and that millions of copies will he printed on slips,
and stuck up in every public room and factory in town
and country, to enable the people to know their friends
from their foes.

We understand that the spirited example set by the
friends of the Bill at Mr. Ellison's, has also been warmly
adopted at old Coxon's, Knowles's, and other houses, as
well as in various large manufactories. In short, we
never recollect on any occasion such an unanimous feeling
as prevails at present, and when Lord Morpeth and Sir
J. V. B. Johnstone again visit their constituents in this
quarter, such will be their reception that they will have
occasion to recollect the day as long as they live.
We may also add, that the Political Union is about to
issue a manifesto, calling upon the members and their
townsmen generally, to rally round the standard of their
illustrious, reforming, and patriotic King and his amiable
Adelaide, to preserve them from the fangs of a disappointed
and expiring faction, by exerting their influence in securing
the return of Members whose motto shall be—" England
expects every man will do his duty."

SUPPOSED DEATH BY EATING LAUREL.
—An inquisition was held at Headingley, on Tuesday
last, on the body of GEoaciE ASKET, a child three years
old, whose death is supposed to have been occasioned by
eating laurel, but as no direct evidence of the fact could'
he obtained, the inquest was adjourned till Monday next,
in the hope that a sister of the boy, five years old, who
was similarly affected, would recover, and be able to give
some information upon the subject.— Wakefield Journal.
