CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

The following is the text of the second bill relative to the
press, and presented on Tuesday by the Minister of Jus-

tice :

" Bill for the Ratification of the Articles 341, 345, and 347
of the Code of Criminal Instruction, and of the Article
20 of the Penal Code.
" Art. 1. The articles 341, 345, and 347, are and remain
modified in the following manner :
" 341. The President, after laying down the questions,
shall apprise the jury, under pain of nullity, that if the said
jury think by a majority that extenuating circumstances exist,
a declaration of the same must be made in the following
terms By a majority of votes, extenuating circumstances
exist in favour of the accused party.'
" 345. The foreman of the jury shall read in succession
each of the questions laid down. The jury shall then proceed
to vote by ballot, both on the principal fact and on the aggra-
vating circumstances, as well as upon the extenuating circum-
stances, if any exist.
" 347. The decision of the jury, both on the principal fact,
and on the circumstances, shall be formed by a majority, on
pain of nullity.'
" Art. 2. The article 20 of the penal code is modified in the
following manner :
The first paragraph consists of the present article. The
second paragraph, which is new is as follows :
" In case the punishment of imprisonment is substituted
for that of transportation, conformably to the article 17 above-
mentioned, the condemned party may be confined in a house
of detention not in the continental territory of the kingdom.'"
Art. 3. The article 3 of the law of 1831 (rectifying the
Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Instruction) is repealed.
M. Baude stated on Tuesday, in the Chamber of Deputies,
that while he was Prefect of Police, he frequently employed
Fieschi to watch the proceedings of the Republicans, from
whom he, with great firmnesss and management, contrived
to gain information without rendering himself liable to be
suspected by them.
M. Eugene Raspail and M. Gallois, of the Rformateur,
and M. Toussaint Bravard, a student, have been set at liberty.
M. Raspail, the chief editor of the Wormatcur, has not yet
been discharged, in consequence, it is said, of vehement lan-
guage employed towards the Magistrate who examined him.
On Tuesday morning, at five o'clock, a search, by police-
officers, was made at the house of M. Estibal, printer, and
formerly editor of the Tribune, in the Faubourg, Poissoniere.
The motive alleged for this measure was the discovery of M.
Hector Bichat, who is brother.in-law of M. Estibal. After
an examination of the premises and papers of M. Estibal, the
officers withdrew.

A Toulon letter of the 31st ult. says:—" It appears that
the Government is afraid of a new attempt from the elder
branch. Extraordinary measures of precaution have been
taken all along the coast. A person from Ciotat, who has
come a coasting voyage, observed at every point remarkable
activity. Numercus posts of Custom-house offi,ers are estab-
lished between Toulon and Ciotat, and the sentinels, who are
stationed at short distances from each other, appear to be con-
stantly on the look-ont."

BOURSE, THREE o'Cl.ocK.—The payments which had been
put off yesterday on account of the funeral procession have
passed off smoothly. Only one defaulter is mentioned, and of
no great consequence. The Three per Cents. have im-
proved to-day. Some business was done at 79f. 40c. ; but
the price has since receded to 79f. 2.;c. to 30c. The Spanish
securities have been rather lower.

RIOT AT HAMBURGH AND ATTACK

ON THE JEWS.

HAMBURGII, AUGUST 4. —This town has been again the
scene of one of the most barbarous attacks upon the Jews that
has ever been witnessed. On Thursday night last, about 9
o'clock, a premeditated attack (being known several days pre-
♦iously) was made by some 50 persons upon 6 or 8 Jews in the
Alster Halle (a public resort), who were forcibly thrust out,
and every Jew entering was treated in the same way. No one
interfered ; a general laugh accompanied the exit of each un-
fortunate victim. Next day, no measures being taken by the
authorities to prevent such disgraceful proceedings, 40 respect-
able young men of the Jewish persuasion determined upon em-
ploying force against force, and went in the evening to the
Alster Halle. Everything remained quiet till about 10 o'clock,
when they forced a young man out of the billiard-room. This
was the signal for a general attack, and a most destructive and
deadly strife took place. These 40 young men had to con-
tend against 200 or 250 ruffians, and for some time remained
♦ictors. After fighting an hour they had nearly exhausted
their strength, and must have sunk under a fresh attack that
was just taking place from without, when the military and po-
lice arrived and put an end to the affray. lam sorry to say
that it appeared a crime, even to the respectable class of citi-
zens, that the Jews dared to defend themselves, and in general
the remark was, that the Jews could keep away, and if so no
disturbance would take place—that it would do them good—
and that every two years they required to be treated in this
way. Saturday evening the same scenes occurred, by turning
the Jews out of the marquees, and demanding from them four
times the amount of the regular charge for refreshments. The
rabble also demolished the windows of about twenty houses
inhabited by Jews, and committed other excesses. Sunday
followed in the same way. Monday went off pretty quiet, but
only because the Jews remained within their houses, out of the
reach of their brutal assailants.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 3.—The Bank of Belgium
began on the Ist to issue notes payable to the bearer. The
first sent into circulation are for 1,000 francs.
BRUSSELS, AUGUST 4.—The Tribunal of the first
instance of Brussels has just condemned the city to pay the
following sums to the persons mentioned, for the pillage and
devastation of their property :-1. To M. Meurs, Governor
of the Bank, 300,000 francs; 2. To the Countess d'Outre-
mont, 60,000 francs ; 3. To the Prince de Ligne, 50,000
francs ; 4. To General Jacquemont, 6,000 francs; 5. To
the Servants of the Prince de Ligne, 3,000 francs. The Tri-
bunal has also declared the above mentioned persons entitled
to claim double the value of the articles destroyed, unless the
city prefers replacing them in kind.
Preparations are in progress at St. George's Cha-
pel, Windsor, for the confirmation of Prince George of Cam-
bridge. The ceremony will take place at half-past eleven
o'clock on Saturday next, by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The parish of Carisbrooke, in the Isle of Wight,
has challenged all England, the metropolis excepted, to play
twenty-one games of chess, and to shoot five hundred ar-
rows, at eighty yards—the stake not to exceed fifty guineas.
A gentleman of York, named Clarke, who has
passed his seventieth year, has offered to walk a mile for fifty
guineas, with any man of that city.
LAW OF LIBEL.--The extraordinary amount of
damages awarded against the Tipperary Free Press, has ex-
cited within us feelings of surprise and regret. What, let us
ask, must be the result should the decision of the Kilkenny
jury be taken as an example, by similar bodies throughout the
country? Why, that the Press must become enslaved and
abject, a mute observer of the crimes of the powerful, and
the vile pander to their passions and their vices. Men of en,

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1835.

The Reformers of Manchester are entitled to the lasting
gratitude of their fellow-countrymen. They have set them
an example of promptitude, resolution, and unanimity,
worthy of the best days of English history. No sooner
was the intention of the House of Lords to defeat the
Corporation Bill, by the side-wind of delay, made known,
than these high-spirited men, without waiting for the for-
mality of a public meeting, got up a petition to their Lord-
ships, which, within less than ten hours, received not less
than twenty-three thousand signatures ! Such an instance
of despatch and determination as this, is, we believe, with-
out parallel in our annals. There is no arguing away its
importance. It is not to be cried down, or sneered at as
the movement of a party, for its spirit is everywhere pre.
dominant. We see it at Exeter—at Bristol—at Warwick
—at Bostou—at Cambridge-pat power--at Poole—at Lei-
