LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1831.

In the House of Lords last night, Lord PLUNKETT
repeated his denial, in decided and energetic terms,
of the truth of the charge brought forward against
him by Sir A. BATESON, a night or two since, in
the House of Commons, that he had promised ap-
pointments in the Law as well as in the Church, in
return for votes at the late elections. He denied that
either himself or any member of hip family had,
in the slightest degree, interfered with these elections
on which the Duke of BUCKINGHAM observed, that
such denial was altogether superfluous, for that none
of their Lordships believed him guilty of undue in-
terference with the freedom of election. The Arch-
bishop of CANTERBURY introduced a Tithe Compo-
sition Bill, of which Lord GREY expressed his ap-
probation. On the subject of our foreign relations,
the Earl of ABERDEEN dwelt at considerable length,
and instituted extensive enquiries. Earl GREY,
however, declined answering many of his Lordship's
questions, but with regard to Portugal observed that
the French were doing nothing more than England
would have done, had she been similarly situated.
In the Belgian affair, the Noble Earl denied that.
Ministers were exerting any undue influence, or
that they interfered in it from interested motives.
The Duke of WELLINGTON recommended that this
country should make every possible exertion to pre-
serve amicable relations with France.

In the House of Commons, after Mr. BARING
had moved for copies of whatever informa-
tion Government might be in possession, on the
subject of that frightful epidemic, the cholera,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought forward the Reform
question. His Lordship's speech on this occasion
was singularly clear, argumentative, and apposite.
He showed himself " armed at all points," per-
fectly familiar with the historical merits of the ques-
tion, and the nature of the House of Commons, from
the earliest period, when it assumed a settled,
intelligible, and constitutional form, His praise of
the disinterested conduct of the people during the
late election, came with peculiar propriety from him.
A RUSSELL, to be in strict historical keeping, should
always be found on the side of the people and the
Constitution, against the encroachments of despotism
and bigotry. There was nothing elaborate, nothing
turgid, nothing exaggerated in his Lordship's eulo-
giums ; truth inspired him, and he did her justice.
His speech, if not brilliant, was calm, thoughtful,
and rational; insisting on the rightful privileges of
the people with the force of a patriot and the
acumen of a statesman.

Dutch Papers contain little news of any worth.
They quote one or two unimportant extracts from
the Warsaw Gazette:—

WARSAW, JUNE 13.—The Warsaw Gazette intimates
that notwithstanding the rejection of the proposal for a
change of our Government all the Members of it, hurt by
the mark of distrust, intend, with the President Prince
Czartoriski at their head, to send in their resignation. In
this case, if it is intended not to deprive them of the sa-
tisfaction which is dear to them, and to preserve union,
the only means of repairing the evil will be to confirm
them in their office by a new nomination.
The departure of the corps of General Kreutz from
'the district of Lublin, was thought at Warsaw to be a re-
treat of the Russians, but it seems, from later accounts,
that it was merely a change of position, as General Rudi-
ger came immediately from Uscilug, and occupied Lublin.
A despatch from General Count Ledechowski, Go-
vernor of Modlin, dated the Stb instant, informs the Com-
mander-in-Chief that on the preceding day a Russian flag
of truce had brought to the Polish post on the
Narew, a proclamation to the Polish soldiers. On
the same day, another Russian officer brought the
same proclamation to another Polish post. The Polish
officers acted very judiciously, they called together
their men and read the proclamations to them. The men
are stated to have laughed at them, and to have affirmed
that they would defend themselves to the utmost, and not
lay down their arms. The copies of the proclamations
were thrown into the fire, while the Poles sang a patri-
otic song, and the Russian officers were dismissed.
THE HAGUE, JUNE 21.—We hear that the King and
the Prince of Orange will shortly go to Breda to view the
camp in the neighbourhood of that city.
By a Royal decree of the ISth, it is ordered that per-
sons coming from or through Belgium, are to come only
through the fortresses of Nimeguen, Bois-le-Due, Breda,
and Bergen-op-ZOOM.
ROTTERDAMi JUNE 22.--The Central Committee for
the Navigation of the Rhine exchanged on the 16th inst.,
at Mayence, the ratification of the Convention for the
free navigation of the Rhine, concluded on the 31st of
March, and fixed the 17th of July next as the day on
which the new regulations shall be in force.

STUFF TRADE.—At Bradford market, on
Thursday, the supply of some kinds of low goods for ex-
portation was much too small for the demand, therefore
an advance in price took place. The stuff trade, generally,
has lately improved from four to seven per cent. Wool
and yarns have also advanced, especially the low qualities.
—Leeds Intelligencer.

DEATH BY DRUNKENNESS PREVENTED.
—" A wealthy Devonshire farmer, after making some ex.
cellent bargains in Wiheliscombe market, overgorged his
stomach with strong beer and brandy grog, so that be fell
from his house, about two miles from the town, in a fit of
apoplexy. He was discovered lying at the road side in a
complete state of stupor, by Mr. RICHARD YOUNG, who
seeing the deplorable condition of the sufferer, without any
hesitation cut open the temporal artery with his pen-knife,
and other passengers having joined him, he sent off for
Dr. SULLY, who immediately attended, and by means of
READ'S stomach pump, dislodged, as the Doctor ex-
presses it, ' such a load of abominable fluid as. I could
hardly have supposed the human stomach would have held,'
when the man became sensible, was conveyed to bed
(where he fell into a profound sleep,) and was restored to
his family next 'not ning."— Taunton Courier.
It would be as well if those who have the ma-
nagement of such matte's would bear in mind that wa-
tering the streets, and rendering them a mass of mud, are
two very different things.

imiturioN ron. SHERIFFS—(THIS DAY).
