REDUCTION OF NEWSPAPER STAMPS.
The following has been sent to us from authority :
" We are authorized to state that a mistake has oc-
curred as to the period at which the reduction of Duty
on Newspapers will take effect. The :time originally
intended was the Gth July. next ; but, as it is im-
possible that the Bill can pass by that period, or for
some weeks after, we understand that no day can yet
be positively fixed upon for its commencement."

Last night the consideration of the English Tithe
Bill was resumed in the House of Commons. The
discussion presents little matter for observation. A
31r. TREVOR divided the House on the first clause.
The Hon. Member proposed to add to that clause as
it stood, the words " being members of the Church
of England as by law established," in order to pre-
vent Catholics, Jews, or Dissenters from being ap-
pointed Commissioners. 'Will it be believed that
nineteen Members could be found to sanction such a
proposition ?

Mr. HUME objected to the salaries of the Com-
missioners being paid out of the Consolidated Fund,
and proposed that, as the Commissioners were em-
ployed for the benefit of the clergy, the expense
should fall upon the Church. The sense of the House
was also taken on this point, but was very decidedly
against the motion of the Hon. Member for Mid-
dlesex.

When clause 37 was proposed, Mr. HUME moved
as an amendment the omission of the latter part of it,
which imposes an additional charge on lands which
shall hereafter be cultivated as market-gardens, or
hop-grounds. Lord JOHN RUSSELL vindicated
this provision of the Bill, on the plain ground
that, as an additional rent-charge on land now
used for these purposes was recognized by the
Bill, it was but fair that the same enactment should be
applied to any land that might hereafter be converted
to the same species of cultivation. Common sense
certainly requires that both these propositions should
stand or fall together. The amendment was lost by
a great majority.

The other clauses were then gone through, the Re-
port received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third
on Monday next.

The Liverpool Docks Bill was last night thrown
out by the House of Commons. This is an event on
-Which t-e heartily congratulate the inhabitants of
Liverpool. It is, perhaps, the heaviest blow the
Toricß-have ever received in that town—with the ex-
ception of that tremendous one inflicted by the Muni-
ch Reform Bill. This Dock Bill vas an infamous

job, concocted for the purpose of throwing great in-
fluence into the hands of the unpopular faction ; which
influence, as a matter of course, was to be employed
in securing the election of Lord SANDON, or any
other Tory Representative who might be pitched upon
by the;leaders of the clique. The plot was laid with
considerable skill—the real intentions of its promoters
were masked with that peculiar craft which distin-
guishes the Tory genus everywhere, but most of all
in Liverpool, and all seemed to promise a happy
issue—when, in a moment—in the twinkling of
an eye—the cup is dashed from their lips, and
they are doomed to chew the cud of bitter disap-
pointment. What a pity that such an excellent plot
should have failed ? Comfort there is none—consola-
tion is out of the question, unless it can afford any
consolation to these worthies that Lord SANDON, in
whom they expected to find an invincible champion,
made a poor, pitiful, and factious attempt at a defence
of their favourite job, and was most severely and deser-
vedly rebuked by Mr. E. J. STANLEY. We trust the cas-
tigation administered to the Noble Lord will teach him
better manners—more sense we fear is not to be expected.
But this is more the concern of the Liverpool Tories
than ours. All that we have to do at present is, to
express our satisfaction that the management of the
Liverpool Docks now falls into the hands of the
Corporation, by whom we are sure it will be used for
none but legitimate purposes.

Do what we will—speak of her as respectfully, and
even affectionately, as we may—our fair Contempo-
rary, the Morning Herald, will not let us alone.
Really this is very cruel behaviour on the part of
"Granny," and what makes us feel it the more
acutely, is that the old girl, partly in
.consequence of
her grey hairs, and partly of a late domestic calamity
—we allude, of course, to the death of Mr. Simpson,
of Vauxhall, to whom she was to have been married—
has ever been treated by us with a reverence bordering
on idolatry. If she persist in such a course of
black ingratitude, she will infallibly drive us
(for who can answer for their temper under suchtie-
peated persecutions ), to publish the whole corres-
pondence that took place between her and her late
lamented Sweet-heart, copies of which have within the
last few days fallen into our hands, and which exhibit
some of the richest specimens of composition that are
to be met with in the whole annals of epistolary billing
and cooing. But to the subject of our complaint. The
cause of " Granny's" wrath against us this morning is,
that we have been in the habit of publishing " nightly,
and every night"—how perfectly Simpsonian is this
form of expression !—those " immoral and illegal
productions, the Hamburgh Lottery advertisements.
Now why should the superannuated vixen take exception
to us on this score, when she herself, according to her
own confession, has been guilty of the same offence ?
If it was " immoral and illegal" in us, surely it was
equally so in her. But hear the old woman's defence !
She (we quote her own words) inserted the adver-
tisements " indiscriminately," while The Sun, the
Globe, and the Courier inserted them " as a very wel-
come source of profit." We suppose that by ,the
word " indiscriminately," Granny means "gratuitously ;"
and if so, she must have been a far more serious offen-
der than ourselves; for she gave currency to the
" immoral and illegal" advertisements from a pure
love of impropriety, and without even the temptation
of " filthy lucre." Oh fie, Granny T. Your excuse
only makes matters worse. But the truth is, the
old vixen, who has never been herself since the
death of Simpson, wanted some one to wreak her
spite on, and accordingly, caring little about the jus-
tice of her attack, selected The Sun, the Globe, and
the Courier, as the first that came to hand.

The French Papers of Thursday report a rather in-
teresting debate in the Chamber of Peers, relative to
the Ministerial demand for a grant of 200,000 francs
for the expenses of the fetes of the " three glorious
days." The Marquis de DREUX BREZE ascended
the tribune, and stated that, for six years successively
he had opposed the grant; but that on this occasion
he would vote in favour of it, provided the Government
would pledge itself that no such demand would be
again made. The Noble Marquis, who is a zealous
Royalist, denounced ,the Revolution as the triumph
of the principles of anarchy and rebellion. He
had hoped that the fatal tragedy of the 28th of
July would have had the effect of curing Ministers
of their fondness for such fgtes; but though he was
to some extent disappointed, they had at least the
decency to put forward the celebration of the fune-
ral solemnities as the pzominent motive for so employ-
ing the public money. The Minister of Finance as-
sured the Noble MarquTts that he had entirely misun-
derstood the language, and misrepresented the opinions
of the Government. Not only would he not give the
pledge thus demanded, but he would tell his Lordship
that it was the intention---the firm and fixed determina-
tion—of the Government to render the anniversary of the
files of July perpetual. The Revolution of 1830 had
been stigmatized as a successful rebellion; but he would
maintain that it was not a rebellion at all—that it was
not only an equitable acts in the sight of God, but that
it was a strictly legal one--known to, and recognized
by the laws and char ter of France. It was not the
people, but the Governt sent of CHARLES X. that had
violated the sacred compact between the KING and his
people. The populace and their leaders were passive,
till the laws which formed the strength of the Govern-
ment were trampled upon—till they could no longer
remain neutral, without betraying the liberties of their
country. The speech of the Minister was well re-
ceived by the Chamb,?.r, and several other members
successively reprobated the language made use of by M.
DE DREUX BREZE. A division followed, when the

motion for the grant was carried by a majority of 90
votes to 4. Another d emand for a credit of 100,000
francs, for retiring pensions to individuals employed in
the Department of Foreign Affairs, was carried by a
majority of 92 votes to 2.

Marshal CLAUSEL has not yet left Paris for
Algiers, nor is the time of his departure fixed,

(From the French Papers.)
The reports of a change in the Ministry seem to As-
sume some probability, bat they are now confined to Mara
shal Maison and M. Passy. The latter, it is said, will be
replaced by M. Duchatel, who has not required any very
earnest entreaties. As to the Marshal, he has really re-
quested to be allowed to retire, nor is he ambitious of hav-
inc, the embassy to Rome, which the Marquis de Latour
Maubourg is by no means disposed to give up to him. In
order to be relaxed from the fatigues and irksomeness of
power, he aspires to go to Naples, where, since the promo-
tion of General Sebastiani to London, and the extraordinary
mission of Admiral de Rigny, we have only a Charge
d'Affaires.—Messager.
