widi their Lordships, and of showing them, by an attlidue
that shall admit of no misconception, that they, the
people, have made up their minds that this measure, which
they think necessary to their wellbeing, shall become the
law of the land' This, we believe) Is what the
Lords did not calculate iin'On: They ifilaiined the
body of the people were not so bent upon the mea-
sure as to make a stir about it, and they therefore be-
thought them of the plan they are now pursuing for de-
feating it. Let them now cast their eyes over the king.
dom ; and when they take a view of the proceedings which
are in progress from the one end of it to the other, let
them confess the fatal error they have committed, in sup-
posing that twenty-five millions of men would allow
their wishes to be disappointed, or even disputed, by some
three or four hundred bundles of antiquated prejudices
huddled together in a certain place.

A brief discussion took place last night in the House of
Commons on the subject of the Report of the Great Yar-
mouth Election Committee, when an attempt was made by
several Hon. Members to screen some two or three witnes-
ses, on the ground that if they answered certain questions
put to them by the House, they would be criminating them-
selves, which they were not bound to do. On this Mr
O'CONNELL, in reply to the remarks of the SOLICITOR-
GENERAL, who took the above view of the case, very sen-
sibly observed, "he could not express the surprise with
which he saw the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, a law-offi-
cer of the Crown, coming forward to state that a witness
might be protected from giving evidence, without stating
any one ground or principle of law for that protection.
They all understood the ground, the legal ground, that
a man was not bound to convict himself. That was law,
perhaps it was not common sense. It relaxed the admi-
nistration of justice exceedingly. Why should not a man
criminate himself ? Whom did he protect ? Was it the
innocent ? No ;he could not protect the innocent, but
he could protect the guilty." It is surprising the tender-
ness—the extreme, sensitive caution—the House always
shows on occasions of this sort. If ever a point of law can
be stretched in favour of an election witness—more espe-
cially if his evidence is likely to place him in the situation
of a defendant—it is always done. Instead of endeavour-
ing to arrive at the truth by the shortest and straitest cut,
Hon. Members seem to take a pride in progressing by the
most circuitous and perplexing road. It is full time that
this dilatory mode of proceeding should be done away with.

The electors throughout the kingdom must be reminded
that Sunday next, the 9th instant, is an important day. It
is the day on which, for the last time, the registers are exhi-
bited on the doors of the various parish churches, and all
who have not already assured themselves that their names are
enrolled, will, we are sure, see the necessity of embracing
the only remaining opportunity of examining the lists. We
are the more anxious to impress this caution on the minds
of the Reformers, because we have been informed that the
names of multitudes who are duly qualified have been, for
some reason or other, omitted. The way to rectify the
mistake is to give notice of it to the overseer before the
25th of this month.

The French Papers of Wednesday, just received, supply
us with copies of the Bill, prepared by the minions of King
Louis PHILIPPE, for the extinction of political liberty in
France. A more atrocious Bill than that which relates to
the Public Press we have never read. It is such a con-
coction of tyranny—such a monster of ingratitude—such a
daring violation of the most sacred rights of men, as never
before disgraced or degraded France. The infernal
Lettres de Cachet, the most despotical articles of the Code
Napoleon, were the perfection of freedom compared with
this monstrous progeny of a Citizen Sovereign. The dar-
ing wickedness of Louis PHILIPPE knows no bounds. He
flings aside the mere appearances of a regard for a charter
which he solemnly swore to maintain, and not content with
a personal violation of it in the case of the prisoners of
April, he now comes forward and demands its abolition
from the Representatives of the French people. We now
see clearly that nothing short of another Revolution can
preserve the shadow of civil liberty in France. The Press
is now abolished ; for we know the Chamber of Deputies
too well not to feel confident that it will comply with any
wish which he may think proper to express. There is
hardly a single Member of that Chamber who is not a tool
of the Government. Corruption has been busy among the
Deputies, and for the sake of France we regret being
obliged to add, never was it more successfully employed in
the cause of infamy. A majority of the Chamber is prepared
to vote on all measures proposed by Government, exactly as
suits the pleasure of the Minister of the Interior, and his
colleagues.

It would be a waste of time to enter into the details of
these monstrous measures. If they are passed into laws,
as we are confident they will ; and if they are peaceably
obeyed, as we are sure they will not ; all we will add is, that
Frenchmen are only fit to be slaves. If France submits to
the laws which are now proposed for her coercion, she de-
serves to be made the footstool of every despot in Europe.
Where now are her patriots of July ? Where now are
those chivalrous assertors of Liberty, who registered vows
in heaven for the erection sof altars to freedom whereso-
ever tyranny raised the standard of oppression ? Have
they, too, been found susceptible of the taint of corrup-
tion? The National Guard—the people—are they also
indifferent to the possession of those rights, to obtain
which their fathers deluged France with the blood of her
Sovereign, her Nobles, and her Priests ? No : political
freedom can never be abolished in France. The tyrant
who now clutches her liberties only prepares the way for
the downfall of a dynasty which ought never to have been
raised to the Sovereignty of a free people.

Belgian and German papers have been received this
morning. King LEoroLD has published an ordinance,
commanding all vessels coming from any port of the Ot-
toman empire, to perform strict quarantine before landing
goods or passengers. On Sunday the KING visited the
camp, and reviewed the troops. The number of men under
arms exceeded 20,000—an army, we should think, greatly
disproportioned to the wants of such a kingdotn-,ls Bel-
gium. The King's best defence against Holland Will be
found in the affections of his subjects, not in the number or
his troops or the strength of his garrisons.
The Belgian Chamber of Deputies has assembled, and
proceeded to business without a speech from the Throne.
This extraordinary commencement of a legislative session
was loudly complained of by several of the Members ; but
Ministers answered that the whole of the Deputies not
having yet assembled, it was judged best to withhold all
Government communications for some days, and, in the
mean time, to proceed with such business as the House
might deem itself competent to perform, before the usual
ceremonies had been gone through. The Minister of Fi-
nance gave notice that an increase of 10 per cent. on cer-
tain taxes would be necessary to meet the expenses of the
executive.

The Brussels Journals bring reports of the state of the
cholera at Marseilles on the 29th and 30th ult. On the
first day the number of deaths from this malady was 124,
but on the 30th only 88 individuals fell a sacrifice to it.
The German Journals contain no interesting intelli-
gence. The Emperor of AUSTRIA will spend nearly the
whole of the next month in Hungary, after which he will
return to Vienna. The Hungarian Diet is about to be
adjourned after a brief session of unusual excitement, occa-
sioned by the appearance of a strong tendency to liberal
cylniting in some of the most influential Members among the
Deputieti,
The plague has hrolten out at Constantinople, but as yet

LOVE, SUICIDE, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE,
—Last night a youth died at the Westminster Hospital, in
consequence of having taken poison. It appears that he had
formed an attachment to a young woman riot deemed eligible
by his parents. " This young woman is now lying at the Hos-
pital with but slender hopes of recovery, suffering under the
effects of some poison which she also swallowed.

THIS DAY; PRIDAY, Auo. 8.

1-loti,§P of LORDg,

The Lords met at Eleven o'clock this morning, fild F/trl of
SHAFTESBURY in the Chair. Prayers were read by the Bishop &
BRISTOL.

On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, the Truro Im-
protement Bill was read a third time atttl
PORMIATICIN lIEFOIOI.

On the rtiotititl VQ11451, eminsel were called,
aid Sir Charles Wetherell appeal:!' j Anti pftiqeucted td call wit-
nesses on the part of the Corporation of

BATH.

Mr, Philip Gedrgd era town-clerk of Bath, and have
held that situation nearly eight years, during the whole of which
time I have resided there. The population of the new parllstnen-
taty
bohittigii is ittiout 5b30033 but that of the old borough
was not more than halt the titiviteh The Corporation consists of
a Mayor, 10 Aldermen, and 20 Common-COUnOilitan. There are
120 freemen. The gentlemen composing the body of Aldermen
are very rapdotattle; as are also the Common Council, among whom
are 13 gentlemen of the medice profession. There are 12 Justices of
the Peace, who are elected from the Aldertnatmd Common Coun-
cil. There is a Guildhall at Bath, in which the Mayor atid three or
four Magistrates sit daily. The police force is 120 strong. During
a recent riot at Bath, the Marpstracy and the police were enabled
to restore peace and order without the aid of the military.
knew of no ordinary occasion on which the police was riot WlC-
pate ; believes that the inhabitants of Bath are satisfied with the
existing mode in which the police is regulated; there are quarter
Sessions at Bath, but capital felonies are fried at the County As-
sizes, under the local Acts of lighting and paving ; the qualification
of the Commissioners is a freehold of 1001., annual amount, or
personal property to the amount of 3,0001.; the property of the
Corporation is of the nature of house property, water-works, and
baths, and so forth; the annual income of the Corporation is 11,0001.;
believes this property is administered to the satisfactioit of the in-
habitants of Bath; considers medical men fit members of the Cor-
poration; has looked to this Bill, and the elective power under it,
and in his judgment the property and other matters belonging to
the administration of Bath, are more efficiently vested in the exist-
ing Corporation, than they would be in the new Corporation under
this Bill ; has looked at the preamble of the Bill ; knows of no ne-
glect or abuse of the Corporation, and of defect in their charter ;
thinks the present Corporation a useful and efficient instrument of.
local government. The income of the Corporation is usefully em-
ployed for public purposes, such as the payment of the Mayor and
other officers, and in public repairs, &c. The Corporation Contri-
buted considerably towards the building of churches. They gave
1,0001. towards the rebuilding of St. Martin?s• Church ; 5001. to
Wickham Church, and 2001. to another, under the Bath Improve-
ment Act. They gave 16,0001. for the benefit ofthe town. This
was entirely their own property. Their donations of property
were very considerable. The Corporation renewed several leases
without fines, on condition that the houses should be rebuilt. In

the matter of charity or benevolence they contributed out
of their own funds where they thought it at all necessary.
Since I have been town clerk, my opinion is that the Corporation
have consulted public convenience in all iniprouruents, and I
most conscientiously believe that their object was Lito to do.
They had made a new street, to form an avenue to the Abbey Church
they had at a considerable sacrifice removed several houses that

were built against the church with a view to form improvements;
they had also formed a communication with the parade to improve
the accommodation of the inhabitants and the frequenters of Bath;
these improvements had met with the general approbation of the
inhabitants and the visitors. The visitors of Bath have not sought
for the system proposed by this Bill. In the Corporation there are
eight solicitors, three bankers, one gentleman of the army, two bar-
risters, and the others are private gentlemen. The Corporation is
suited to the local government of, such a place as Bath. I commu-
nicated to the Municipal Commissioners, when they visited Bath,
all papers and documents, and gave them every information in my
power. They expressed their satisfaction at it, and I heard of no
fault found by them. The accounts are audited by a committee of
three, appointed by the Corporation ; and afterwards submitted to a
Common-hall, publicly convened. All the members are summoned.
Besides this governing body of thirty there are 120 freemen. The
Bath Common lands belong exclusively to the freemen, and are of
the value of about 600/. a-year. This property is distinct from
the general Corporate property. It belongs to the freemen for
their own use, and is actually divided among them as their own
freehold. I mean there are in addition to the 30 members of the
Corporation, about 90 freemen, making in all 120. The annual
amount received by each of the freemen from these common lands
averages from 4/. to 6/. The freemen are either elected by the
Corporation or obtain it in right of their apprenticeship.
By the Duke of WELLINGTON—The persons who obtain
their freedom in right of apprenticeship pay nothing for their
freedom. Those elected by the Corporation pay froin 100 to 200
guineas.
By the Earl of RADNOR—The 'freemen who have served an
apprenticeship pay nothing for their admission. The great ma-
jority are admitted without payment, but those who are elected for
the purpose of being admitted to the governing body pay the fee I
have mentioned.
By the Duke of CUMBERLAND—Those who are elected for
the purpose of being appointed members of the Corporation pay a
fine of from 100 to 200 guineas.
By the Earl of RADNOR—The freemen must serve an appren-
ticeship of seven years to a freeman within the city. The number
of freemen is not limited ; but, in point of fact, it does not exceed
ninety, and I have not known it more. The number has scarcely
increased or diminished within my knowledge.
By Sir C. WETHERELL—The Corporation manage the common
lands funds. Part of my duty is to make out leases for the letting
of these lands. They are let by tender, and the property has been
made the most of. There arequarterly meetings of the Corporation.
By Lord BROUGHAM—There must be a majority of the Cor-
poration present. There must be sixteen for the purpose of doing
any corporate act.
By Sir C. WETHERELL—The number of members who attend
the quarterly meetings is generally 20 to 25.
By Lord BROUGHAM—A bare majority of those present de-
cide a question.
By the Duke of CUMBERLAND—I keep the Corporation seal,
and affix it in the presence of the Mayor. I have sometimes af-
fixed it without his presence, in cases of leases which have been
previously approved of and signed.
By Sir C. WETHERELL—They had a grammar school and an
hospital. The annual income of both amounted to between 300/.
and 400/. The Corporation kept the accounts of these charities in
the same manner as they kept their own, but separate; and ma-
naged it as properly, in all respects, as their own. The hospital
was a small one,_ containing only from eight to ten in the sum-
mer months. There is another hospital in Bath. Many of the
Corporators were governors of it, but the Corporation had
nothing to do with it as a Corporation. To do all that the Corpora-
tion now do would require a large sum of money in the shape of a
rate, but not 10s. in the pound—not even 55., as property in Bath
was very valuable. In Bath, at present, there was no borough
rate, or any rate upon the inhabitants, except under the Local

Watching Act. -
By the Earl of RADNOR—There are no steps taken to limit
the number of freemen by apprenticeship, and every one who
served seven years in Bath was fully entitled to the privileges of
the Corporation, and to share in the produce of the common lands.
The governing body is self-elected, but they took no steps to keep
the freemen at the present number. Ido think they perform their
duties well, and am not aware that there is any excitement or ill-
feeling against them. There may be some, as there is in all large
towns. It might be that some such expression had been used by
some parties.
By Lord ALVANLEY—The premiums with apprentices to
freemen were larger than to non-freemen, in consideration of the
privileges.
By Lord BROUGHAM—There were twenty non-resident free-
men included in the number he before mentioned. Before the Reform
Bill the election of Members of Parliament was in the select body
of 30. There was some dissatisfaction with respect to that. In
1812 it was attempted to poll the freemen, but on a petition to the
House of Commons the right was declared to be in the select body.
By Sir C. WETneaw—There was no dislike or aversion
shown to the magistrates on the occasion of the anticipated riots;
men of all parties rallied round them and co-operated most cordially
with them. In consequence of my being town clerk I have lost
much of my professional practice, as. I was understood to give my
whole attention to the duties of my office.
By the Earl of RADNOR—Was elected during good behaviour,
of which the Corporation were the judges.
By Sir C. WETHERELL—The Mayor was allowed one thousand
pounds per annum, which on many occasions was not sufficient ?
I have known some to spend much more.
Mr. Gunning examined—l have been a member of the Corpora-
tion of Bath fifteen years. The Marquis of Camden is the Re-
corder. Ido not think the Bill proposes any improvement of the
Corporation. I was at Bath during the riots. • The inhabitants
co-operated very cordially with the magistracy in quelling them.
SUTTON COLDFIELD.
Mr. KNIGHT said the House had given him permission to supply
some evidence in the case of Sutton Goldfield, for which purpose he
now called,
Mr. Thomas Holl&ach, who was sworn—l am the Deputy
Steward of Sutton Coldfield. I have a precept which was served

summons, commanding him to bring all deeds, documents, and
..,. the estates and funds, or in any
accounts in his custody relating nroduce of the said estates
way relating to the appropriation of the .-”ow h
an on the sth of
and funds," and to be in attendance at the
November at 10 o'clock. This was signed by r. Commissioner
m the same
Cockburn. The witness next produced a letter fr,.l
gentleman, dated the 9th of November, transmitting
ache
of the Commission, by virtue of which he had called ern
witness to produce the papers of the Corporation, and calling upon
him to forward• them to the Commissioners at Stafford, addressed
under cover to the Corporation Commission, to be left till called
for. A resolution was then come to on the 11th November by the
Corporation, which the witness produced, and the Learned Counsel
read. It was to the following effect :—" Resolved, that the De-
puty Steward be requested to communicate to Mr. Cockburn, that
the Corporation will be prepared to produce for his inspection all
such documents as may be required by the Commission to inquire
into the state of the several existing Corporations of England and
Wales, at any time it may be convenient to attend, at Sutton
Colefield, but they do not feel justified in sending them to a dis-
tance, and more particularly as they are to be left till called for."
Two other letters from Mr. Cockburn were put in by the wit-
ness. The first was dated from Titchfield, Dec. 16, stating that
he would be at Sutton Colefield the next day to receive the supple-
mentary evidence. The next letter, dated the 17th of December,
announced his arrival at Sutton Colefield, and asked for the use of
the Hall, in which he proposed to sit at two o'clock. He also de-
clined to receive the papers privately. They were then exhibited
publicly in the Town-hall.
