renowned Signor Duvalli," from London, who had crest,
a great sensationby his crossing the rivers Tyne and Thain

on a rope 600 feet long over the river Clyde." Great nl''
titudes assembled to witness the feat, and it being aPPIII
hended that the suspension bridge might prove too NOS
for the extraordinary strain upon it, the police had to el"'
it. Signor Duvalli, however, did not appear; but the crowd'
seemed loth to be defrauded of the wonderful sight, and did
not disperse till near five o'clock. It turned out that ,1,
Provost had withdrawn his permission for the performs!"

THE REFOItAI BILL.—A meeting of magistrate:
has been held at Leeds to take into consideration the point
whether the whole of the West Riding should form 00;
constituency, as proposed by the intended Reform Bill, °:.
should be divided into two separate districts, each returnitit
two members to Parliament. The Hon. Edwin. Laseellel'
who was in the chair, proposed the following resolution.
" That inasmuch as the probable number of electors in the
West Riding by the proposed Reform Bill will amount?
65,000, such a number is far too large to form one maton
constituency, and that theßiding should therefore be sops
rated into two divisions, each returning two members
Parliament, such divisions to be called the northern AP
southern divisions of the West Riding, and such divisiou",
to consist, as nearly as circumstances will allow, of r;
equal number of the entire electors at present on the regt
ter, which is 40,600." The resolution was agreed to. A':
amendment, deprecating the discussion of political quo!,
tions by magistrates, was rejected, and a deputation 10"/
appointed to wait upon Lord J. Russell and inform him 0'
the opinions of the meeting.
