The case, which excited much interest, was adjourned.

The Anti-Reformers are hard to please. At
one time they are indignant at the indecent haste with which
the Reform Bill is attempted to be hurried through Parlia-
ment. Last night the Marquis of Londonderry was equally
indignant at the readiness with which Earl Grey, at the request
of Lord Wharncliffe, consented to postpone the second reading
from Thursday next to the Monday following, on account of
the absence of several Peers at the Quarter Sessions. The
Noble Marquis was piqued, because the concession was made
at the request of Lord. Wharncliffe, and expressed himself in
the manner of a great schoolboy. The Duke of Wellington,
who seldom displays captiousness, but reserves himself for
fitting occasions, had no objection to the delay of two or three
days ; but Lord Grey having hinted that the delay might be
deducted from the interval between the second reading and the
going into a Committee, his Grace protested against any such
deduction. If the Marquis of Londonderry had a grain of
sense, he would at once see, that nothing detracts so much
from the authority of a senator as the constant snarling without
any adequate cause. A man who allows his heat to evaporate
on unnecessary occasions, seldom possesses any when it is
wanted. The public laugh at the impotent energy of the politi-
cians of the school, who may be compared to the crackling of
thorns under a pot.—Morning Chronicle.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1832.

The second reading of the Reform Bill was
postponed last night from Thursday next to
Monday se'nnight, at the suggestion of Lord
WHARNCLIFFE. This Ultra-Tory Peer urged
rather a singular reason for the delay. He pleaded
that " several 'Members of that House" had to at-
tend the Courts of Quarter Sessions. The coun-
try -would have suffered nothing by their absence
from either the debate or the Quarter Sessions,
and the privilege of voting by proxy was at least
a sufficient ground for not acceding to Lord
WAARNCLIFFE'S desire. From the sublime
to the ridiculous is but a step, and short is the
step from Lord WHARNCLIFFE'S sitting in
judgment upon a nation's Tights in the House
of Peers, and his dealing the terrors of the law
against poachers and destroyers of fences, and
other invaders of the rights of the Aristocracy's
game preserves. The House of Peers must
give way to the Courts of Quarter Session—
Earl GREY, with his usual gentleness of de-
meanour and liberal kindness, assented to Lord
WHARNCLIFFE'S proposal, and this assent
roused the spirit of Lord LONDONDERRY, who

poured forth all his honest principles and, gen-
tlemanly feelings in a torrent of efferyescing lava.
The Marquis was surprised that such an im-
proper day should have been fixed for the second
reading, and then he was surprised that the day
should be altered. His next surprise was that
Earl GREY should postpone the day at the re-
quest of an individual, especially (for this was
the source of all the surprise) as the individual,
Lord WHARNCLIFFE, was " one of those who
had raised themselves of late to what they con-
ceived to be a degree of consideration, and he
supposed they had not time to seduce voters for
those wavering counsels they had shown in the
debate." This is what Lord LONDONDERRY
calls candid and gentlemanly towards a brother
Peer, a friend, and fellow politician. Lord Lox-
DONDERRY'S oratory puts us in mind of the
surprise of a person equally honest and well
informed with his Lordship, although not
equally elevated in rank. An honest sailor of
Captain PARRY'S ship went too close to one of
the celebrated warm mud fountains of Spitz-
bergen, and got covered with mud. " Zounds,"
cried the sailor, " I am surprised thal in such a
d—d cold place, the mud should be to hot."
Lord LONDONDERRY is very warm.

A brief, but very interesting discussion took
place last night upon Mr. STANLEY'S Tithe
Bill, and the resolution of Government was car-
ried upon a division of 130 to 25. If this Bill
were " the be all and the end all." of the Mi-
nisterial plans, nothing could evince greater
folly and culpability upon the part of its authors ;
but the discussions gradually open to us the
views of Government, and they are of a
nature to call forth the approbation of
the country. It is impossible to carry liberal
measures per saltunz, in a country in which an
immense portion of the land, an equal portion of
the taxes, arid almost all the religious and intel-
lectual instruction of every class have been
prostituted for centuries to one object—
the resistance of every improvement by
enduing the mind with inveterate pre-
judices. Were Mr. STANLEY to aim directly
and at one blow at the demolition of all the
clerical abuses in Ireland, he would inevitably
and deservedly suffer a defeat, and give a signal
victory to the enemies of every Reform. His
course is temperate and prudent—and after his
Bill is carried, he may again support a proposition
from Mr. HUME " that a Select Committee be
appointed to inquire whether the revenues
(charged to incomes) of the Church of Ireland
be not more than commensurate with its duties"
The debate of last night shows the difficulties
against which Mr. STANLEY has to contend ;
difficulties enhanced by the excessive ignorance
of both his friends and foes. Sir ROBERT IN-
GLIS talks of 'legislating iu perpetuunz, as if
any thing human but folly were perpetual. His
coadjutor, Mr. HUNT, declared that Ministers
had as yet made no proposition to relieve
the people, an assertion, the mendacity
of which is exposed by its stupidity.
But the climax of antithesis to common sense
and to legal principles was in the speech of Dr.
LUSHINGTON. This civilian assumed the prin-
cipal of a perpetuity or eternity of rights, and
argued that to yield to the passive resistance of
the Irish people, " would be to give a bounty
upon resistance to all law and good government."
Society is in its nature incessantly progressive,
and the efforts of this country have always been
to make its government a machine fixed and
unalterable. Where a Government does not
progress with society, it must yield at
last to popular resistance. Ireland possesses
not a fraction of liberty that she has
not conquered from her Government by re-
sistance. The volunteer system armed the Irish
populace, and Government was forced to repeal
the Act of Geo. I. to accede to commercial ar-
rangements demanded by the Irish. The
Catholic Emancipation bill was yielded to
resistance ; and but for the present resist-
ance to tithes, Mr. STANLEY'S Bill would
have been rejected by an immense ma-
jority. Even in &gland, what have the people
gained from their rulers except by a spirit of re•
sistance ? From the reign of CHARLES I. to
the death of GEO RftE IV., this is the pervading
feature of our domestic history. With respect
to the Tithe Bill, it is to be regretted that Mr.
STANLEY perseveres in the clause by which
Government is to recover, or attempt to recover
the arrears. All parties equally concur in repro-
bating this part of the subject.

Our friend and contemporary of the Morning
Post has long been suspected of tampering with
the " Foul Fiend." Nobody ever accused him
of being himself a conjuror, but people have had
" a shrewd suspicion" that he had a conjuror
behind the curtain, and the truth is now out,
for the Necromancer has given him a full
and good measure for his money. Let our
Readers con and re-con the leader from the Post
extracted into our journal of to-day, and they
will find a " witcherie" about it, a quintessence
of the occult sciences and forbidden mysteries,
which will warn him of the danger of deriving
wisdom from astrology and unholy studies. The
writer has discovered the pecuniary cost of the
Reform Bill, viz.—Consols have fallen from an
actual 95, and a prophetic par, to 83. The
value of England, says the writer, is
3,600,000,0001. and this is reduced 10 per
cent. by the Bill, or, in other terms, the Bill

has occasioned us a loss of 360,000,000/.-
800,000,000/. of property " is annually created
in this magnificent country," and the Bill has
decreased this by 80,000,0001. in the last year
alone. In short, the Bill has cost us "a solid
sphere of 440,000,0001." We fear that the writer's
head is a very "solid sphere." But these discove-
ries of whirlpools of millions and billions—are
they not written in the leader of the Morning
Post—on the wizardism of which we have not
courage to gaze with a steady eye.

The news in the German Papers this morn-
ing tends to confirm the accounts already re-
ceived, that the affdirs of Italy will be amicably

settled.

A Cabinet Council was held to-day at half-

It is very currently reported that a new creation
of Peers will cake place in the course of the ensuing week, but
not to the extent anticipated. The success of the Reform Bill
is no longer doubted, and the Anti.reform Peers now console
themselves alone with the hope of the Bill being modified in
the Comniittee. There is a serious Achisth arnorig the Opposi.
tion Peers; the ultra Tories aim at the overthrOwitig the Bill
altogether, while those of the moderate portion of the party ;Ili
anxious for conciliation, being convinced that if the Bill wa4•e-
jected, it would be one of the greatest calamities that could be-
fall the country.—Morning Advertiser.
The iullowing, specimen of his Majesty's ge-
nerosity is worthy of publicity :—Thomas West, of From., a
Corporal of Marines on board the Valiant man.ol-war, and
promoted to the rank of Serjeant by his Majesty (then Duke of
Clarence,) but discharged without a pension, being now in in•
digent circumstances, sent a memorial of his services to his Ma-
jesty, who, recollecting the circumstance, by return of post on
Tuesday, remitted to West a chequeof 101.—Bath Chronicle.
Mr. Portman's addre.s has caused us deep
regret; but it has given us no surprise. For the present we
shall be brief on the subject; but in case the opposite party
should flatter themselves that they are about to have every
thing they wish, we candidly tell them that this county will be
contested as long as they shall bring a candidate into the field.

PROPOSED COUNTY MEETING.—We un-
derstand that a requisition to the High Sheriff is in circulation,
recommending a county meeting on the subject of the Factory
Bill—Doncaster Gazette.

The Court Journal contains a long account
of a vase, presented by the Duchess of Leinster and the ladies
of Ireland to the Duchess of Northumberland. The design is
very national, and, in point of taste, very equi►ocal. The mi.
ginal design of this magnificent object of art was taken from a
vase of Benvenuto Cellini ; modified by the assistance of the
Duchess of Leinster and her sister, Lady Caroline Stanhope, so
as to become exclusively appropriate to the occasion. The
chalice, which is of the purest rock crystal set with the native
gems of Ireland—pearls, diamonds, amethysts, and beryls--is
supported on a pedestal formed by the head of an elk (copied
from an unique specimen in the Dublin Museum), the antlers
of which are curiously chased in gold. At the head of the cha-
lice, which is of an oval form, is a figure in virgin silver, repro- •
senting the Genius of Ireland seated in a triumphal car ; and at
the other extremity, resting on a trophy formed by the ancient
Irish toga, sword and shield,--also designed by the Duchess
after the originals in the Dublin Museum,—is an exquisite re-
presentation of the Irish stag hound, said to be the only dog
capable of contending with so powerful an animal as the elk.
These national emblems are interspersed with bunches of
shamrock ; and on the golden shield which forms the back of
the car, are inscribed the coronet and initials of the Duchess of
Northumberland, adorned by a bouquet of Forget-me-not, in
precious stones. Over the car hangs a pear-shaped pearl of
great beauty ; at the foot is a very fine beryl ; and the eyes of
the silver dolphins grouped at the base are formed of opal.
Surrounding the head of the elk, on the pedestal of the chalice,
are two wolf-dogs, of the celebrated Irish race, modelled with
unequalled grace and spirit. _ _

The numerous admirers of' the grand romance
of " Zillah" will be much gratified on hearing that the author
(Mr. Horace Smith) has written and published another story
of the Holy Land, in his •' Tales of the Early Ages." The
narrative in question is called " The Involuntary Prophet,"
and its scene is laid in Jerusalem and on the shores of the dead
sea, during that fearful time when the Romans were at the
gate of the sacred city—a period pregnant with stupendous
events.

FALMOUTH.—As a pilot of this place was
sailing in his boat a few miles to the South of the Lizard Point,
on Wednesday last, he fell in with the ship Active, of Havre,
homeward bound from the West Indies, with a valuable cargo
of mahogany, &c., abandoned by her crew. From the appear.
ance of the vessel, she having the poop and bulworks carried
away, it is conjectured the crew were swept otr the deck by a
heavy sea, or took to their boat in despair, fearing the ship
would sink. The ship's papers and a quantity of doubloons
were found in the cabin. She has with difficulty being towed
into St. Mawes Bay, where she now lies.

The income of the Wesleyan Methodist Mis-
sionary Society during the last year amounted to the sum of
48,2891. 13s.

KIRRIEMUIR.—On Monday week, a young
man in the employment of a smith, a few miles to the east of
the town, rose from his bed early in the morning, and went
out. Some of the inmates heard the door opening, and the
servant-girl was sent to see who it was, when she found the
young man lying at the back of the smithy with his throat cut.
He was not speechless, but gave up the knife, telling her to
keep it secret. He was removed to the house, and, we under.
stand, is slowly recovering. It appears that for some short
time past, he has been subject to fits of insanity, originating
from the circumstance of his having loved, " not wisely, but
too well."—Scotsman.

SIR W. JONES AND T. DAY, ESQ.—One
day, upon removing some books at the chamber of the former,
a large spider dropped upon the floor, upon which Sir William,
with some warmth, said, " Kill that spider, Day; kill that
spider !" " No," said Mr. Day, with all that coolness for
which he was so conspicuous, " I will not kill that spider,
Jones ; I do not know that I have a right to kill that spider. ,
Suppose, when you are going in your coach to Westminster-
hall, a superior being, who, perhaps, may have as much power
over you as you have over this insect, should say to his comps.
nion, kill that lawyer ! kill that lawyer ! How should you
like that, Jones ? and I am sure, to most people a lawyer is a
more noxious animal than a spider."

HOW TO GET RID OF THE BAD SMELL
IN A ROOM Nuva.v PAINTED.—PIace a vessel full of lighted
charcoal in the middle of the room, and throw on it two or
three handfuls of juniper berries, shut the windows, the chim-
ney, and tne door, close; twenty.four hours afterwards the room
may be opened, when it will be found that the sickly unwhole-
some smell of the paint will be entirely gone. The smoke of
the juniper berry possesses this advantage, that should anything
be left in the room, such as tapestry, &c. none of it will be
spoiled.—Country Paper.

Yesterday, a fiizht took place near the Wilford
Ferry, between Wheatley, a boatman, of this town, weighing
fourteen stone, and John Jelly, a stripling of eleven stone from
Leicester ; they fought for two hours and three-quarters, dur-
ing which time they had one hundred and eleven rounds, at the
end of which, Wheatley was taken away, quite blind, and
shockingly beaten, leaving the stripling victorious.—Wheat_

of the police force of the I) division, to prevent any interruption
being offered to them in taking the man away. They had
no sooner arrived opposite to the house, No. 4, in Barratt's-
court, where the man Heron lodges, than they were assailed
with groans,
hisses, and yells, of a most discordant character
from a number of Heron's countrymen, who expressed their
determination not to allow him to he removed out of his
own apartment. The messengers, however, succeeded, after
much difficulty, and with the assistance of the police, who
were compelled to use their staves in placing the man in
the chair, and had proceeded with him but a few yards when
a simultaneous rush of the Irish, who had by this time assem-
bled in the court to the number of between Soil and CM, was
made, and in an instant the policemen were hemmed in by the
crowd, and had their staves wrested from them. A scene of
the utmost confusion and disorder then ensued, the sick man
was dragged out of the chair, and pulled about in a most vio-
lent and shameful manner, the chair was broken to pieces, and
after much contention and disturbance the man was carried
hack to his lodging, amidst the shouts of the victorious party',
who declared that they would resist any attempt that might
be afterwards made to remove him. The disturbance as-
sumed such a serious appearance at one time, that most of the
neighbours closed their shops for the remainder of the after-
noon. The whole of the neighbourhood remained in a state
of excessive tumult during the rest of the evening. The neces-
sary measures were afterwards taken by the police to preser“
tranquillity.
