REFORM.

The House then resolved itself into a Committee to con-
sider further the Reform in Parliament (England) Bill.
The consideration of the 21st clause was renewed, and
some verbal amendments proposed and agreed to.
On that part of the clause which limited the e'ective
franchise to persons actually themselves paying rates for
the tenements out of which they voted,
Mr. WASON complained that the Bill would have the
effect of doing away with one of the best local Acts there
was; namely, one applying to Liverpool, by which land-
lords were compelled to pay the rates.
Lord ALTHORP admitted the difficulty, but observed
that they were under a necessity of drawing a distinction
between these who paid rates and those who did not, and
the difficulty in this case could not have been avoided
without incurring a greater.
Mr. C. CALVERT and Mr. WiLxs both observed, that
DO injustice would arise from persons not:paying rates being
excluded ; for any one entitled to pay, and wishing to
possess the franchise, might pay the rate in his own pro-
per person and prevent the landlord's doing so,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in order to prevent
any misapprehension as to the construction of the clause,
moved to insert the words " owners and tenants," so that
no person occupying a tenement should have the right of
voting unless he were a prayer of raters.
Some discussion upon this amendment took place; in
the course of which both Mr. Alderman WOOD and Mr.
Alderman VENABLES objected to it, on the ground, that
though the Livery of London did not object to the fran-
chise in the city being extended, yet the giving votes to
every person who occupied a counting-house or floor in
the city, certainly appeared so be extending the principle
of the Bill much further than had as yet been at all hinted
at. Sir C. Wetherell, Sir E. Sugden, and several other
lion. Gentlemen also dissented to the amendment, on the
ground that it was neither more nor less than giving
lodgers votes, provided they took their lodgings in a par.
ticular way ; when if it was really intended to give lodgers
votes, it would be much fairer to introduce a clause for
that express purpose at once.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in answer to the ob-
jections, contended that the difference between being dis-
tinct occupants of a floor or chambers and mere lodgers in
a house was very different ; the class of persons who oc-
espied the former were all persons who moved in a res-
pectable sphere ; while the latter varied from almost the
very highest classes to the very lowest. Another distinc-
tion was, that the occupiers of the former either paid rates
themselves, or a charge in their rent for that purpose was
made by the landlord; so that the question of registration
might, in this case, be easily managed ; while in the case
of mere lodgers, they would be utterly at
lossa to know
how to register them. With respect to the number of
voters being considerably increased in London by this
weans, he did not see how the Livery could. complain of
the
that, at they generally approved of the prineipk vt

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the first day of term, Westminster-hall was
thronged with barristers, attorneys, and the public,
awaiting the arrival of the Judges to open the different
Courts. The Judges breakfasted at Lord Tenterden's house,
instead of at the Lord Chancellor's, who was out of town.
At half-past one o'clock their Lordships came down to
Westminster-hall in procession. Lord Tenterden and Jus•
tices Taunton, Patteson, and J. Parke, took their seats in
this Court.

Messrs. WILLTAms and HOLT having been appointed
King's Counsel, took their seats as such within the bar.

GOWER AND OTHERS P. JONES AND OTHERS.

Sir JAMES Scam. Err moved for a rule, calling on
the defendants to show cause why the nonsuit
that had been entered in this case should not be
set aside, .and a new trial granted. The case was tried
at Guildhall last term, when the Learned Judge directed
a nonsuit. The action was brought by the plaintiffs,
who were merchants in London, to recover the value
of a cargo of oil from the defendants, who were brokers
at Liverpool, and acted as agents for the plaintiff, and
who sold the oil to a person in a manner contrary (as Sir
J. Scarlett alleged) to the terms of the agreement between
the plaintiffs and defendants. The Learned Counsel having
commented on the terms of the contract, which he con-
tended entitled the plaintif: to recover,
Lord TENTERDEN, after consulting the other Judges,
said it appeared to hint that the construction he put upon
the contract at the trial was the correct one. He should
therefore refuse a rule for a new trial.

The other Judges concurred in the opinion of the Lor,
Chief Justice.—Rule refused.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR did not take his
seat in his Court at Westminster till nearly twenty mi-
nutes to two o'clock, having to breakfast with Lord Ten-
terden, together with the other Judges, this being the first
day of Michaelmas Term, and the Lord Chancellor not
intending to reach town before next week.

The Court proceeded with motions, but nothing of the
least importance bad taken place previous to our reporter's
leaving.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, his Ho-
nour, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor, the
Common Law Judges, Masters in Chancery, King's
Counsel, &c. breakfasted with Lord Tenterden, at his
Lordship's house, Russell-square, the Lord Chancellor not
having arrived in town.
_ _

Hi; HONOUR sat in one of the Committee rooms, and
took his seat at half-past one o'clock. The Court pro-
ceeded with the remaining petitions that stood for hearing,
but nothing of importance had taken place when our re-
porter left.
London, England, 1831-11-02

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

At half-past one o'clock the Lord Chief Justice TINDAL,
Mr. Justice GAZELEE, Mr. Justice BOSANQUFT, and Mr.
Justice ALDERSON took their seats on the Bench.
Mr. Sergeant SPANIIIE moved on the part of the Earl of
Stirling, who bad been arrested upon a bill of exchange
by Sir Henry Digby, Knight, to set aside all proceedings
against his client with costs.

After some conversation, the rule Nisi was granted.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY

Since the close of last term this Court has been entirely
remodelled inside, and is now not only one of the hand-
somest Courts in Westminster-hall, but one of the mist
commodious, both for Counsel and the public. In appear-
ance it resembles the King's Bench. The table stands
across the Court in front of the Counsel. This being the
first day of term, the Judges did not arrive in Westminster
Hall till half-past one o'clock, having breakfasted with
Lord Tenterden in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. It
number of respectably dressed ladies and gentlemen were
in waiting to see them pass. Shortly before two o'clock
the Judges went to their respective Courts, and com-
menced the business of the Term. In this Court their
Lordships took motions, but nothing of interest had oc-
curred up to the time of our reporter's leaving.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

We have seen a letter from Bristol, received by the mail
this morning, and we are happy to find that order and
tranquillity are again rrstored to that unfortunate city :
" A regiment of infantry marched in yesterday after-
noon. The property which was stolen has been retaken,
and deposited in the churches, guarded by the soldiers,
who are also guarding the prisoners. Another regiment
is also expected to arrive in the course of the day, and a
General Officer has arrived from London to take the com-
mand of the troops. The shops are partially opened to-day,
and all the respectable inhabitants are sworn in as special
constables. A public meeting will be held on Saturday, to
take into consideration the conduct of the Magistrates. The
property destroyed, and the damage done, are to an im-
mense amount; at present all is tranquil. A report prevail, d
of a great number of colliers arriving, hut it is not believed.
We hear that the books at the Excise-office have been saved
from the flames, which is of great importance to Govern-
ment."

From the New York Paper received yesterday, to the
2th October :

" SICKNESS IN THE NAVY.—Thirty-five cases of fever
have occurred on board the United States ship Erie, re-
cently arrived at Norfolk. Since the 17th ult. no fatality
has attended the disease, and the sick are doing well on
board the Vincennes, at Pensacola.
LtvEaroor. ItKETS, OCT. 31.—There has been a
very fair demand this week for British Plantation Sugar,
the sales amounting to upwards of 1,200 hog heads, at
rather improving prices. The demand for Cotton through
the week has been steady and extensive, the sales amount-
ing to 22,000 bags, and the prices improved.

DURHAM, OCT. 31.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of
this county was holden, at the County Court-house here,
this day, at which addresses Ave, moved to his Majesty
and to Eirl Grey, and to t' r nth, Members of the Ad-
ministration, for their patriotism in the cause of Parlia-
mentary Reform.

As I cannot send you a printed report of the speeches
that were delivered for some days to come, I beg to trouble
ynu briefly with the outlines and decisions of the meeting.
The concourse of people was much greater than I ever be-
held at a county meeting here, and the speeches were of
toe highest order for pnblie spirit and talent.

The meeting was addressed by Sir Hedworth Williamson
and Mr. Russell, our patriotic county Members, and by
W. R. C. Chaytor, Esq. one of our city Members, and by
the talented T. C. Granger, Cuthbert Rippon, G. H. Wil-
kinson, Charles Harland, R. D. Shaftoe, W. Hoar Har-
land, George Baker, and Hedworth Lambton, Esqrs.,
Sir William Chaytor, Bart., and several others, all of
whom expressed their great loyalty to the King, and most
of them their fullest confidence in his Majesty's Alinister,,
that the measure of Reform to be proposed will be as
efficient as the Bill that the Lords rejected ; and, I beg to
assure you, that both the speakers and the auditors ex-
, pressed themselves in no very measured terms against the
traitorous conclave of the Reverend Peers, whose seats in
that House they consider ought to be for ever confiscated.
The meeting was began at ten o'clock, and was con-
ducted with great order and unanimity, and broke up a
little after four. The shops were all closed, and the city
hells rang merry peals at intervals throughout the day.
Bands of music paraded the streets, and in fact the town
exhibited every demonstration of joy and hope.
There was a general expectation that Lord Londonderry,
who resides occasionally in this county, being at home,
would attend with his satellites, Sir H. Hardinge, Knight,
and the Hon. Arthur Trevor, to oppose the Reforming
party, but they prudently kept away, knowing that the
opposition of talent and independence would have laid bare
their pigmy opposition, and would have unceremoniously
exposed them to the contempt and indignation of so en-
lighted an assemblage. I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient
servant and constant reader,

THOS. HENRY BROWN.
P. S.—l make no apology for troubling you with these
lines, as I doubt not but you will receive the early intelli-
gence of so important a meeting in the sacred cause of
Reform with considerable interest.

According to the 4ecouuts received to-day
ii.otn New York, the amount of the revenue for the cur-
rent year will exceed the computation of the Government
by no less a sum than eight millions of dollars. It was
calculated that it would amount to twenty-two millions;
but it will, in fact, realise more than thirty millions. So
much for the working of the tariff, which was to have
4ltstroyed commerce, and of course the revenue.

THE BISHOPS.

The following lines are copied from a London Newspaper,
printed about forty years since --
The Bishop of Canterbury
Was plundered, we hear,
Of rich plate and deep dishes,
Designed for good cheer.
Had the Twelve poor Apostles
Been robb'd of their all,
The list of their loss would,
I ween, have been small.
Their scrips and their staS,
And a few ragged coats.
The rogues might have sold
In Rag Fair, for six groats.
E'en such was the wealth
Of those prelates of yore,
For the Church, when first planted
Could boast of no more.

NOTES ON A NOTED BILL.

NO. 1.-TLIE DISHONOURED.
Drawn by the Treasury, by the House accepted,
Backed by John Bull and by our Royal Will—
By Lordg dishonoured first, and then protested—

Who ever heard of such an ill-used Bill ?
When next presented—who can feel afraid,
But that with interest—it must be paid?
Diamond Magazine for November.

THE EPITAPH.

Here lies poor BlLL—his sand has run—
He died of forty stripes and one.
Though young, he was in wisdom Grey—
'Twas the "Lords' Will," the Bishops say ;
But 1 suspect they slew the lad,
Just as hard " Commons" killed his dad.
'Tis true the Crowner sat, and sent
This verdict—" Died of ' NoN.Coyremr.'"
But clear your crystals, Boys—and dry
The " radical moisture" in your eye ;
We have a BlLL—whose power can save
Your dear dead darling from the grave;
And he, despite each Tory worm,
His scatter'd ashes will Reform.—
The will of Bill is law, d'ye see ;
The Bill of Will—the law shall be;
So here's Will's Bill—and here's Bill's
Bill—Will—and nothing but the Bill.
Diamond Magazine for November.
London, England, 1831-11-02

speaker here alluded to the probability of a new
creation of Peers being had recourse to, which,
we believe, after all that has been urged against
it, will be found to be absolutely necessary for
the purpose of carrying Reform.

`We perceive by the Brussels Papers that the
debates in the Second Chamber of R epresentatives,
on the subject of the acceptance of the 24 Ar-
ticles, are still going on. The same authorities
mention that a steam-boat has arrived at Ostend
with despatches, and an application for Antwerp
pilots to bring an English squadron into the
Scheldt :

THE FUNDS.

Great satisfaction is expressed in the city at tranquillity
and order being restored to the unfortunate city of Bristol,
and no doubt ere this a sufficient force has arrived there
to prevent any further disturbance.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 82i- for the Ac-
count, opened at 82i, afterwards were done at 82k, and
at present may be quoted 82
We have no arrivals of ship-letters, or any others of
importance.

HALF-PA S T ONE.
'We have received the Messager des Chambres of
Tuesday by express.
Extract of a private letter from Berlin :—" The Polish
army has renounced all further resistance : 9,000 horses
have already been given over to the Russians by the Prus-
sian authorities, and the soldiers will soon return to their
homes. Our Monarch treats the Polish troops with great
humanity."
BRUSSELS, OCT. 29.—Every thing announces that the
general discussion will close this day.
To-day Sir Robert Adair went to the Palace to an-
nounce the arrival of the English fleet on the coast of
Holland, and a steamer off Ostend, to be under the orders
of the Belgian Government, to communicate with the
English fleet.

A report prevails of a partial change in the Ministry.
The .Nuremberg Correspondent announces that the
Prussian Government has concluded a treaty with Russia
on the subject of the reception of the Polish fugitives, and
tie payment of their keeping. General Utninski is said
to have embarked for England
The citizens of Neufchatel and Valangin have sent an
address to his Prussian Majesty, in which they sta'e
their fidelity, and protest against the late contrivers of the
revolution.

The expre,,s from Paris has brought the French Rentes,
after 'Change hours, 67f. 40c. for time, and 67f. 10c. for
money. The French Papers are void of news.
Our Funds maintain their prices this morning ; since
the early part of the day they have improved. Consols
are at present 82 for the account, and 82.1- for money.

GUILDHALL

Elizabeth Risher, a middle-aged woman, was put to
the bar on Tuesday, charged by her husband with being dis-
orderly. The husband said he had to complain of her
getietal Misconduct ; she was in the habit of getting drunk
every day, and the had not been sober sines Sunday morn-
ing. (In Monday night, or rather early on Tuesday' Inton-
ing, she clawed him, and he was oblig. d to give her into
custody.
Sir CL A UDIUS BUNTER (aside)—Clawing—that is
chimney-sweepers' work. The husband explained—His
wife hit him in tie face.
Sir CIA UDIUS—What is your condition in life? Hus-
band—l am employed at an upholsterer's.
Sir CLAUDIUS—Cannot you keep your wife quiet?
Husband—No, Sir, she behaves extremely iii. Site comes
home drunk at all hours.
Sir CLA untus—l doubt whether I can assist you. What
have you to say to this, Mrs. Biker ?—The tribe replied
she had not been ou'sidc the door.
Sir CLAUDIUS—He does not charge y,u with being
outside the door, but being drunk inside the door. Wife—

Nobody knows the life I have.
Sir CLAUDIUS—No, nor the life he has. poor fellow.
Wife— He turns me out, and I am aliged to put my clothes
on in the street.

Husband—Why she drinks so, she never li irdly takes
her clothes off. .

Sir CLAUDIUS (mournfully)—Vour story is truly
pitiable. What can I do? (pausing). Was she seen in
the street? husband—No, Sir. _ _

Sir CLAIDIUS—Mind ye. If she was only drunk at
home I cannot interfere. Many per.on4 do that, and the
314gistrates have no power to interfere with them. If she
had been drunk in the streets that might have been a
breach of the King's peace, and I might have sent her to
Bridewell. . . .

The wife denied the fact that she was drunk. She had
not tasted a drop.
The officer said she was decidedly drunk when he ap.
prehended her.
Sir CLAUDIUS—Then not having taken a drop she was
drunk.—(A laugh.) Well, Mrs. Bisker, I shall discharge
you this this time without stopping to inquire wheV‘er
you had taken drops or not; but if ever you ate drunk
again from taking drops, or any thing else, and you should
be brought here, I will send you to Brid, wed, remember
that —With this admonition the pti.oner was discharged.

SURREY THEATRE

On Ttr aday night a new operatic viudeville, called the
Say.yardc, was produced at this theatre ; and, if we
:nay jutlFe from the appearance of the house. and the
t'avourib!e manner in which it was received, we augur
that the Savoyarde will prove a ar•at favourite. The
::lot is /14airie and full of interest.. Miss MATTLEY. as the
aughter of Bongout, made her that appi.arzince here these

lady in a duet with Abs.:SOMERVILLE. Euwta. a. JoArt,
