one Ostend, with three arrivals of ship letters ; their contents are
already in publication.
The prices of the Dutch Funds are—Two-and-a-lialf per cents,
55k; Five per cents. 100. .

the express from Paris is not of importance ; it does not bring
any news from the contending armies in Spain ; and it is antici-
pated that General Cordova will not make any movement of im-
portance until the whole of the British forces have arrived.
French Funds—Five per cents., 1095; Three per cents., 78 70 ;
Cortes Bonds, 36 37.

PROTEST AGAINST THE MUN I
PAL CORPORATIONS BILL.

Reasons against going into Committee upon the Municipal
Corporations 13i11:-
1. That Parliament can or ought to have no power which is ta'at
founded on wisdom, justice, or equity.
2. That Corporations hold by prescription and by Royal charter_i
which give as good a title, and confirm to them the possession a
their rights, privileges, and property, by a guarantee as secure It'a
binding as that by which any individual British subject whatsoolf
claims to enjoy his possessions; whatever they may be.
3. That the King alone is by law instituted visitor of Corpora'
tions, and has the right to inquire into and redress any delinquenciel
through his Majesty's Court of King's Bench; or their Courts, anl
therefore that the irregular interference of Parliament is a fearlh'
assumption of power, and a perilous inroad upon the Royal Piero-
gat ye.
4. That the Bill called' An Act to provide for the Regulatioo
of Municipal Corporations in Ei.g:and and' Wales" is, in fact,
Bill of Pains and nnalties, founded upon the Report of an illegal
Commission.
5. That the House of Lords, in its judicial capacity, cannot ge
into the allegatiol.s of such a Bill until sufficient ground for doing
so be proved by evidence at the bar.
6. That, therefore, no step ought to have been taken, nor the
Bill pass through any of the usual stages, until such evidence 110
been heard and the charges substantiated.
7. That the princip e of the Bill, as well as the Bill itself, L 4 Or
posed to all constitutional justice and political wisdom, and may
fairly oe suspected, by a sacrifice of the defenceless Corporations,
to
be intended to commence the overthrow of our civil, ecclesiasticid,
and all other ancient and cherished national institutions.
For these reasons I emphatically protest against the Bill going
into Committee, or passing into a law.
