BM went through the Committee. The Report was or.
dered to he received this day.

Mr. STANLEY said, that after the delay which had
taken place, he felt he could not proceed with the motion
of which he had given notice; but he gave notice that
early in the next Session be should move for leave to
bring in a Bill to change the venue in certain cases in Ire-
land, with a view to the better administration of criminal
justice in Ireland.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Three o'clock.

Last night was a sort of duodecimo edition of the me-
morable seven o'clock devision on the Reform Rill. Mr.
Sbaw, the Recorder of Dublin, have registered a vow not
in heaven, like his great political opponent, Mr. O'Con-
nell, but at the door of the stage coach which bore his
Learned coadjutor in Orangeism, and Mr. Lefroy, to the
Isle of Wight, to this effect, that should the Bill for the
Abolition of Religious Processions be brought forward
during his (Mr. L.'s) absence, he (Mr. Shaw) pledged
himself to oppose it in every stage, which pledge he most
religiously redeemed (by dragging the House through no
less than twenty-four divisions,) in spite of all remon-
strance by his adherents and opponents to the contrary.

NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION.

The weekly Meeting of this Union took place last even-
ing at Saville-house, Liecester-square. Mr. Mongred-
dieu in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the minutes of the last meeting,
which were confirmed, and the several Reporters stated
what they had done since they had last met.
Mr. TAYLOR moved three resolutions, to the effect—
" That the late attempts of the Germanic Diet were a
violation of the faith of treaties, and of the common rights
and interests of men in society ; that it was an aggrava-
tion of the atrocity that they should be enforced by the
Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia ; and that it was with
reprobation the prostitution of the name of Great Britain
was viewed by the adhesion of the King of Hanover to
them ; that admiration and sympathy were due to those
brave patriots who had struggled against the degradation
of the Germanic people, and who were still struggling in
the great cause of liberty and humanity." He trusted
that the importance of the occasion would justify his refer.
ring to foreign politics. It became him, he deemed, to
do so, as a member of one of those Unions which had been
such mighty engines in passing the Reform Bill, and
placing Lord Grey on the summit on which he
now stood. The worthy Gentleman said the ob-
ject of the two Monarchs of Prussia and Russia in
forming the Diet, was to put down Reform. He then
alluded to the King of Hanover's adhesion, and said it was
a striking mark of inconsistence, or something worse, to
see one and the same individual giving his adhesion to
this most atrocious document, at the very moment he was
giving his assent to the English, Irish, and Scotch Re-
form Bills. What, lie asked, would be concluded from
this, but that he was forced to it by public opinion--as
kept alive by the Unions ? Let nobody then talk of dis-
solving the Unions until the results of those Bills were
known. He concluded by asserting that the people of
England should support, by every possible means, the
Germans in their glorious struggle against despotism.
The Rev. Mr. Fox seconded the resolution. Measures,
he said, had been taken not exactly to cut down human
life, but to sabre human intellect. Nothing could be so
formidable, so terrible, so much to be dreaded, if the foul
conspiracy that had dictated those diabolical measures suc-
ceeded. They were equally important and nefarious.—
The debt that this country, above all others, owed to Ger-
many, was immense. It owed it information—it owed it
all the advantages derivable from great example, as set
forth by the wisest and most learned of men. But there
was still a stronger reason to interfere—it was that the
name of Great Britain had been tacked to the acts of the
Diet. What ! the mighty influence of this country
thrown into the scale of the party we most abhorred !
It was France—it was Belgium—it was Poland—it was
Reform, that stung them to the quick. All this was the
heel that bruised their head, and now they pour their
poison where they may. Poland had bled and perished ;
Germany had been crushed—what next ? Why, the
Russian bayonet would again glitter in the valleys of
France, should the people of this country be barbarous
enough to look on without making an effort. There were
hopes, however, for society was no longer what it had been.
Intelligence was now with the oppressed, and nothing but
brute force was left to the oppressor. There was an in-
vincible mind in Germany, that would never succumb to
the sword of the tyrant.
Mr. LAWLESS came here to claim the assistance of a
powerful body, to enable the Germans in London to es-
tablish a newspaper in their language. He held i❑ his
hand a resolution to that effect.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the resolution could not be
moved until the busintss before the Chair was disposed of.
Mr. ROGERS—Though this Union was formed for do-
mestic purposes, as it were, he thought it might interfere
in foreign matters, when liberty was upon the point of
being attacked in her very citadel. It was upon this
ground alone he assented to the resolutions.

The original resolutions were then put from the Chair,
and carried unanimously.
Mr. TAYLOR moved that the resolutions be published in
the Morning Chronicle, Times, and several other papers.
Mr. ROGERS would oppose advertising if the papers did
not circulate in Germany.
The Rev. Mr. Fox could answer, that the proceedings
of the first meeting, with respect to German affairs, as re-
ported in the Morning Chronicle, were translated into
German,
in Germany, in consequence
and that one hundred
thousandof b
ctopei
paper es
had been
circulated
itself
being stopped on the frontier.
Mr. KNIGHT moved the resolution Mr. Lawless had
brought respecting a German newspaper. He also moved
that it be published, together with the resolutions already
passed.
An amended resolution, purporting to support the pa-
per, and every other publication that tended to promote
liberty in Germany and on the Continent, was afterwards
put and carried.

Mr. PLACE then read a Report that be had drawn up
at the request of the Business Committee, in explanation
of the details of the Reform Bill. If the Learned Gen-
tleman's calculations and deductions were correct, the
Bill, instead of being a good, was an incalculable evil.
It was understood that the same gentleman is to draw
up a petition, which, when adopted by the Council, will
be presented to the King, praying him to prorogue Par-
liament for a short period, in order that, in a new and
short Session, the clause relative to rates may be ab-
scinded.

THE STRAND TIIEATRE.--Last night, after
the performance of Wooing a Widow, in which Mrs.
WAYLETT sustained the principal character with her
usual ability, a new piece, in one act, was produced at this
theatre, under the title of Six to four on Me Colonol.
'The plot turns upon the perplexing situations in which
Ledger, a rich old merchant, is placed, in consequence of
his unreasonable desire to add to his already immense
wealth. The piece, which was well performed through-
out, is pleasantly written, and will nu doubt have the
usual run of similar slight productions. Mr. WILLIAMS
performed the part of the money .courting merchant.
It is said that the lucrative agency of Colonel
ARBUTIINOT fur the management and distribution of the
Deccan priza.money was obtained for him, while yet a
youth, by the Duke of WELLINGTON, the matter in ques.
tion having, in the first instance, been left to his Grace's
decision.

We are sorry to mention, on the authority of
a private letter, a fact which even the Miguelites of this
country will be slow to believe, and we hope, for the sake
of the character of the nation, to approve. It will he
seen, by the despatch of Colonel Honces, that a British
officer, Lieutenant BOULGER, was killed in the action of
the 23d. A short time previously to his being interred
with military honours in the British burial-ground of
Oporto, the Commander of the corps to which he had be-
longed received a communication from the British Consul,
Mr. Calsrtri, commanding him not to observe the usual
military practice of firing over the grave of the deceased.
To this insolent communication a suitable reply was made,
and the injunction was not, of course, obeyedg
