PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In
thi LORDS, the Select Committee on the building of the
two Houses of Parliament was moved for by Lord DUNCAN-
-14011. Lord BROUGHAM moved the Order of the Day for the
adjourned debate on his Resolutions relative to General Edu-
cation. Lord MELBOURNE agreed in the principles embodied
in the Resolutions, but was not quite sure that the mode of
Proceeding by way of Resolutions was the wisest and best
course for carrying those principles into effect. He therefore
recommended to his Noble and Learned Friend to bring in a
13111 on the subject. Lord BROUGHAM adopted the recommen-
dation, and withdrew the Resolutions.
In the COMMONS. a Committee on the Penryn Election Pe-
tition
was Ballotted for. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a Petition
from York, complaining of bribery and corruption practised at
the last election for that City, and gave notice that he would
to-day move that it be referred to a Select Committee. Three
of the Ipswich Election culprits were brought from Newgate
up to the bar of the House, and after being reprimanded were
discharged. A motion was renewed for the liberation of an-
other of these gentry, on. the certified plea of illness Addi-
tional
medical evidence is to be furnished to-day, when be will
probably be set at large. Mr. GISBORNE moved that all the
persons who appeared to have been guilty of bribery at the
Ipswich Election, should be prosecuted by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL. The motion was agreed to. The House hen
Went into Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill,
when several amendments were made, and several post-
poned and negatived. On resuming the consideration of
the 14th clause, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he intended
to ' the revision of the lists of voters to the
Revising Barristers in the present year, and that for the fu
hire the duty of revision would devolve on the Mayor and two
Auditors. Mr. WYNN moved an amendment to the effect,
that the Revising Barristers should be permanently appointed.
Thu amendment was negatived by 86 to 53. Clauses 15, 16,
17, and 18, were severally agreed to. On the question that
clause 19 be agreed to, Sir R. PEEL moved an amendment,
which, after some discussion, was negatived by a majority of
63. On the 23d clause, Lord STANLEY moved an amendment,
the object of which was to lengthen the term during which the
council should hold office. This amendment also was nega-
tived—the numbers against it being 220 ; for it, 176. The
clause being then agreed to, progress was reported. Leave
was given to bring in a Bill to amend the Beer Act. Mr.
Wasorq presented a petition respecting bribery at Yarmouth ;
and the House adjourned at One o'Clock.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATION

REFORM.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRIISPONIDENT.)
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 27.

This borough, as well as the adjoining town of Stone-
house, it quite in a state of excitement, consequent upon a no-
tice having been given in the House of Commons of a motion
which is intended to be made for an amendment in Sec. 2,
Schedule A, of the Corporation Reform Bill now pending be-
fore Parliament--that, " for the purposes of the said Act the
Parliamentary boundaries, with the addition of Stonehouse, be
taken as the boundaries of the borough of Plymouth." This
notice of motion has we understand been given by Mr. Miles,
M. P. for Bristol, but upon what ground he will found his
motion no one here can divine. The greatest dissatis-
faction prevails among all parties and classes in both places,
and should this monstrous proposition receive the sanction of
the present Government, we are convinced that they could
take no surer way to become unpopular amongst the inhabi-
tants of the two places. Stonehouse by the Reform Bill is
tk.pited with Devonport, so that the junction of the former with
Plymouth would present an anomaly of a truly extraordinary
Lidescription. To-day a gentleman of this place (Plymouth)
left for London, to explain to Lord John Russell and other
Members, circumstances bearing on the subject, which he
might not otherwise be acquaicted with ; and we doubt not
the result will be that his Lordship will see the propriety of
opposing the motion referred to. Meanwhile the Mayor of
Plymouth has issued an announcement requesting a general
meeting of the inhabitant householders of the borough, rated
y) the relief of the poor for the parishes within the same
borough, to be holden on Monday next the 29th (June) inst.,
4!.t one o'clock in the afternoon, to take the subject into consi-
deration, and to determine on the measures proper to be adopted
in reference thereto.
BR

.ITISH COLONIAL TIMBER TRADE.
Today a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of this port
pl
317"uth), and of the shipowners, merchants and others, was
held at the Exchange on the subject of the proposed alteration
of„ Duties on British Colonial Timber—Henry Woollcombe,
'Bcl. was called to the Chair.
The meeting was addressed by the leading merchants of this
place, after which a committee was appointed to prepare a pe-
tition to the House of Commons, praying that the duties on
Canadian timber should not be increased. It was contended
by some of the merchants present at this meeting that should
the proposed change in the duties on timber take place, the
Whole of the timber trade would get into the hands of foreign-
ers. One gentleman said that out of twenty-nine vessels
Which had arrived here from the Baltic with timber, between
August 1833 and the present time, twenty-five were foreign
Vessels. There is, however, doubtless a great deal of sound-
ness in the arguments advanced by those who contend for the
proposed alterations.

Yesterday Mr. Mathew Davenport Hill, Mr.
Ashton Yates, and Mr. Northouse, obtained an appointment
With Lord Brougham, for a conference with a Committee of
the Deputies of the Corporate Cities and Towns, regarding
his Lordship's suggested alterations in the Municipal Reforiii
Bill, Mr. Rathbone, the Chairman of the Deputies, and
nine other gentlemen, had a long interview with his Lordship,
the result of which we have not heard, but we believe that
it is to be resumed.

We have to announce the death of Alexander
Swictolawski, the Polish refugee, in his twenty-eighth year.
He wag one of the sixteen who gave the signal for the revolu-
tion at Warsaw by attacking Belvidere, the Palace of the
Archduke Constantine.

Another hero of the first French Revolution has
Just died; M. Francis Raisson, at the age of sixty-five. This
worthy was chiefly known for the part which he took in the
preparation and issue of the assignats.
AMERICAN THEATRICALS.—Sheridan Knowles
and Miss Phillips were playing at New York at the last ad-
'noes. Mr. W. Chapman, son of Mr. Chapman of Covent-
Garden, died on board the floating theatre on the Mississippi.
plus Placide, who made her debut last season at Covent-
garden, as Elvira, in Pizaro, has likewise departed this life at
gew Orleans. She expired on the same day as Mrs. Roe,
wife of the manager, and, by a singular coincidence, these
two actresses were born on the same day, came out simulta-
neously on the stage, and were buried in the same grave.
THig MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S GRAND FETE,
its:lEll'es PARK.—We understand the tables were laid by
Messrs. Gunters for nearly 500 royal and noble visitors, under
the spacious and elegant tent supplied by Mr. Benjamin
Pdgington, 2, Duke-street, Southwark. This tent, from its
facility of erection, and security from the weather,
I,s well adapted for public breakfasts, and having a boarded
floor, effectually prevents any inconvenience arising from damp.
GLASS DUTY.—The following account shows the
total amount of duty on the various kinds of glass, together
With the amount of drawback thereon :

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " PETER
SImPLE."—" The Pacha of Many Tales" has been pronounced
to be the most humourous, the most varied, and the most ori-
ginal of Captain Marryat's works ; the enterprising author has
literally ransacked nature for his subjects, and he has plun-
dered her with infinite success. Indeed, he has found a tale
in everything, in the "thick-ribbed ice," in the whale's belly,
kid, as if earth had been exhausted, he procures one half way
to heaven, in a water-spout. But whether they be of earth,
water or air, we find all the tales to be good, and we recom-
lnend them strongly to the notice of our readers.
The Committee for the Establishment of a Litho-
triptic nospital, for curing patients of the stone without it-lei-
t":4l, think it their duty to contradict several rumours which
have been circulated to the prejudice of Baron Heurteloup,
111 d consequently to that of the above named Institution, of
which he is surgeon. It has been asserted that he intends to
cave this country ; he has no such intention ; he now is, and
'poses to remain, in England: It is also said, that the Ba-
tr is in the habit of demanding enormous sums from his pa-
nka ;.---thiss is not true ; his charges accommodated to
sin means, taken in connectien with the servi,7es rendered to
them A rumour has also been propagated that his curs are
incomplete. In refutation of this, he confidently appeals i,"?
I. testimony of those on whom he has operated, whether in
rrfate, publicly in hospitals ; and in order that no doubt
flay remain, either of the success of the operation, or of the
ease to the patient with which it is performed, he intends to
Publish, in the Medical Journals, in addition to the numerous
toes which have already appeared in print, a statement of
Leanly thirty others, in which the patients were treated be-
-4,0e).' one and two years ago, and who have been ever since,
tiktare now, perfectly well. Subscriptions for the Lithotriptic
o°Vital, will be received at the following Bankers :---Messrs.
