LONDON,
,WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1835.

An Express from Paris has just been received in the
City, announcing a second attempt on the life of King
Louis PHILIPPE. His Majesty was fired at while
at a review, surrounded by his guards, and the
horse on which he rode was shot under him. In the
conflict which ensued several lives were lost. The par-
ticulars of this murderous attack on the KING will
not reach London before an early hour to-morrow.

The proceedings which took place last night in that

" Municipal Corporations Bill—Moved, That the Petition

Leave of the House) withdrawn.
" Municipal Corporations Bill—Order of the Day for the
Second Reading and the Lords to be Summoned, read; and
Bill read Second, and committed to a Committee of the whole
House on Thursday next : Counsel for the Mayor, Bailiffs,
and Commonalty of the City of Coventry, and for the several
other Petitioners, praying to be heard by Counsel against the
Bill, to be heard as desired on Thursday next, at Five
o'clock; and the LORDS SUMMONED.

We see by this how strenuously those who are in-
terested in the abuses of Corporations struggle to per-
petuate them. Shall the Reformers show less energy
and less zeal for their annihilation ? We are sure they
will not. We are sure that the good example set by
Leicester will be followed by every town in the king-
dom, and that the table of the House of Lords will
soon be loaded with the petitions and remonstrances of
the people. If this be not done, we are quite certain
the Bill will be seriously injured in its passage through
the Lords—throw it out they dare not.
