THE MTN. Llyci,i)N_ THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1835.

for no other reason than because they were retainers and
dependents of a Tory Duke. Another stab to the mea-
sure was the qualification clause. If a money qualification
was necessary for a town counaor, how much more so.
must it be for a Peer ? He should be sorry to see such a
test applied to the House of Lord's ; but if it were, he was
confident that some of them would have to walk out of the
House and never go in again.—(Cheers.) Ile then read
the petition to the House of Commons, which was to the
effect that the Commons would not accept the Bill as mu-
tilated by the Lords, but that they would use those means
which the Constitution had placed in the. power of the
Lower House, to secure the ultimate passing of the Bill
into a law, unaltered in substance from the form in which it
first passed into the House of Lords.

Mr. RIDLEY seconded the petition, and it was carried
unanimously.
Mr. LEECH said the question they were met to consi-
der was simply whether the people of England were to
submit to the House of Lords, or the House of Lords to
the people. If the Lords persisted in the line of conduct
they were now pursuing, they would prove themselves not
only enemies to their own order and to the people, but
traitors to that crown which it was their duty to uphold.
The speaker concluded by moving an address to Lord
Melbourne and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, ex-
pressive of admiration of the firmness and ability with
which they had carried the great measure of Corporation
Reform through the House of Commons, and praying
them still to continue their exertions in the cause of Re-
form, supported in the struggle, as they were sure to be,
by the grand bulk of the wealth and intelligence of the
country.

Mr. GOLDING seconded the address, and it was car-
ried unanimously.

Mr. CREED, as a member of the Corporation, main-
tained the correctness of the Commissioners' Report as to
this borough. It was now become a question, he said,
whether they should not place the Lords in the back
ground, and only petition the Commons to throw back the
mutilated Bill with disdain and disgust. He hoped the
people would show that they were not to be trifled with,
but would remind the Peers.that a time would come when
the country would do without a House of Lords. He con-
cluded by moving "That the thanks of this meeting be
given to those Peers who have supported the Bill,' and
particularly to the Right Hon. Lord Brougham, for his able,
unrelaxing, and spirited exertions in its favour."
Mr. MEREST then proposed three cheers for Lord C.
Fitzroy, the Member for the borough, to whom he hoped
the petition would be entrusted for presentation.
The meeting then separated.

Buay, LANCASHIRE.—The news of the mutilations made
in the Municipal Corporation Reform in the House of
Lords excited considerable indignation in Bury. A peti-
tion to the Commons, praying that they will not consent to
any alteration in the Bill which may impair, or in any
degree lessen or narrow the elective rights which it confers,
and also an address to his Majesty, expressive of confidence
in his Majesty's Ministers, are in the course of signature,
and will be forwarded this evening.—illanchester Guardian.
THURSO.—A public meeting has been held in this town
to petition the House of Commons not to adopt the muti-
lations made by the Lords in the Corporations Reform Bill.
BOLTON.—On Friday a public meeting was held in
Bolton, when it was resolved to petition the House of
Commons not to receive the Municipal Corporations Re-
form Bill in its present mutilated state.
KIDDERMINSTER.—A numerous meeting of the inhabi-
tants of this borough was held on Monday last, at the Union
Inn, Charles Talbot, Esq., in the Chair. Several resolu-
tions were agreed to, expressive of confidence in the pre-
sent Administration, and of a hope that Lord Melbourne
would not yield until the measure of Corporate Reform, as
it stood before it went into the House of Lords, had be-
come the law of the land.

NEWCASTLE.—A public meeting is to be held in the
Guildhall to-morrow (the 25th) "to consider the pro-
priety of petitioning the House of Commons to reject the
Municipal Reform Bill as now amended by the House of
Lords." The inhabitants of Newcastle will act as the oc-
casion requires. They see that the Corporation Reform
Bill, after the mangling and mutilating it has suffered in the
House of Lords, is not worth having—to pass it in its pre-
sent state is to insult and mock the people, instead of ren-
dering to them their just rights. Though there is no fear
of any opposition being attempted at the meeting, we hope
it will be numerously attended.—Tyne Mercury.
YARMOUTH, AUG. 24.—A numerous meeting of the in-
habitants was held at the Star Hotel on Saturday last,
George D. Palmer, Esq., in the Chair, at which a petition
to the House of Commons was unanimously agreed to
stating the deep regret and indignation of the petitioners at
the mutilation of the Municipal Reform Bill by the House
of Lords, apparently with a view to deprive the country of
a measure calculated to remedy the multifarious abuses
which had so long prevailed in corporate cities and boroughs
—condemning the introduction of clauses for establishing a
qualification for municipal officers, and for continuing a por-
tion of the present corrupt bodies in office without election
—and praying the House to reject such alterations in the
Bill as would impair its integrity. The petition, which it
is expected Ivill be numerously signed, is to be sent to Lord
J. Russell for pfesentation.

bring back gold to this country ; and a supply of sovereigns
was obtained last week even from New York, notwithstanding
the charge of transmission from so great a distance; as A eoth-
mercial operation. It only requires-, therefore, as leas been
said, a tranquil state of polities to produce very prosperous
appearances in this,n-iarket.

HINDERING THE KING'S TROOPS.—At the
rirentford Petty Sessions yesterday, Henry Elder;
residing at Isleworth, appeared before 0.(': l!eilt:h to answer a
summons, obtained againet hint under the sth of William IV.,
cap. 5, sec. 5/, Oirtimonly called the Mutiny Act, for refusing
to remove with his waggon, the baggage and arms of the Gre-
nadier Guards, the same having been legally pressed, according
to warrant. The proceedings were instituted by direction of
Colonel Lascelles, the Commanding Officer of the regiment.
The Bench, convicted him under the 63d section, and fined him
in the mitigated penalty of 405., and costs, being the lowest
amount allowed by the Act.
DON CARLos.—Extract of a letter of the 20th
instant from Toulouse :—" The estimates made at Paris of
the forces of Don Carlos are not correct. We are assured by
eye-witnesses that he cannot take the field on the plain with
more than between 11,000 and 12.000 men, who will not be
so effective there as they are in the mountains. The cavalry,
which is only tolerably good, does not exceed 800 ; and the
bands which hare joined him from Old Castile amount toge-
ther to only 3,000, two-thirds of whom will never fight in a
fair field. His artillery is very small, and not well manned ;
and the remainder of his battalions, which have not increased
since his defeat at Bilboa and the death of Zumalacarreguy,
will not leave their fastnesses. On entering into Castile, the
Carlists, who were deluded, imagined that the peasantry
would rise and join them ; but this was not the case. They
are constantly asserting that they have plenty of money, and
yet they are driven to use all sorts of expedients to obtain it,
and they have many creditors here complaining of want of
rthyment." •

PLAGUE.---A letter from Clot Bey states that lie
and two French gentlemen and a Spaniard attend to those
who are afflicted with the plague without taking any pre-
cautions, while others envelope themselves in waxed cloth, feel
pulses through a tobacco-leaf, or dip their hands in oil or vine-
gar before touching the infected. Clot Bey and his friends
go to the bedsides of the sick and remain for hours in the in-
fected air. Two young Frenchmen do the same at Alexan
dria, and constantly communicate with their infected breth-
ren at Cairo. The plague declared itself at the former place
in November, but did not become serious till February, since
which 20,000 persons have perished. The disease first showed
itself at Cairo in December, and in March assumed a deadly
aspect. Quarantine within the house has not been success-
ful in all cases, and several French people have died who shut
themselves up in their houses. The malady has extended to
some of the European vessels, but the poorer classes have suf•
fered most, particularly the Maltese, who arc the dirtiest, and
constitutionally resemble the Arabs.
The country around us during the present week has
presented the richest and most luxuriant appearance we have
ever seen. Never, probably, have the crops been ripened so
rapidly as during the last weeks of this summer. In the second
week of July the crops looked fine, but they were so backward
that. an unusually late harvest was anticipated. Since that
time,we have had almost uninterrupted sunshine, and every de-
scription of grain has become ready for the sickle at once. The
appearance of the fields at the beginning of this week was
such as to fill the observer with exultation and thankfulness—
so abundant, so healthy, so regular, was the golden produce.
Everywhere the reapers were at work, accompanied by women
and children. The crops are of the best possible quality.__
Leeds Mercury.
EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT.—On Tuesday a
man, named Gomersall, attended the parish church, Halifax,
for the avowed purpose of being married by licence, to a very
respectable female ; but before the ceremony was concluded
he declined to enter into the matrimonial state, and the mar-
riage party retired to the Waterhouse Arms Inn, where a din.
ner was provided for a dozen or fourteen persons. Notwith-
standing the disappointment of the morning, we understand the
afternoon was spent with much pleasantness and good humour,
and another wedding dinner was ordered for the following
Thursday. On Thursday the parties and their friends again
attended at the church, the latter having the full assurance that
the ceremony would then be complete, but again Gomersall
refused to tie the nuptial knot, and the lady and her friends
retired highly disgusted and mortified at his folly and brutal
conduct.—Leeds Paper.

EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE.--it will be
recollected that, in the end of July last, a man named Mur-
phy was discovered in the act of committing a capital offence
on the person of Catherine Feller, in a secluded spot near the
Greenwich railway, and that having been taken before the
magistrates, he was committed to Newgate, to take his trial in
lhe Criminal Court. Immediately after the committal of the
prisoner the unfortunate girl disappeared, and has never been
seen or heard of since by any of her friends or relatives. Se-
rious apprehensions are entertained lest she should have been
murdered, to prevent her appearing against the prisoner. An
uncle of the poor girl, who was much attached to her, has
been so much affected with the circumstances of the brutal
treatment she received at the hands of Murphy, and her sub-
sequent disappearance, that he made an attempt upon his life.
The prisoner's trial came on last week, but there being no
evidence against him, he was acquitted on the capital charge,
but detained till the next sessions, on a charge of assaulting
the officers who took him into custody.
AFFECTING SCENE.—On Wednesday, a burial
took place in the Town's churchyard. The chief mourner
was an old man apparently about eighty, and stone-blind,
having been so for a considerable time back. He was paying
the last solemn duty to his wife, with whom, for better for
worse, he had lived for about, it is said, half a century. She
was the only help he had in this world, and in their mutual
frailty each had been a kindly helpmate to the other. The
old man kept hold of the coffin all the way to the churchyard,
while the tears followed each other in rapid succession down
his furrowed cheeks. Arrived at the churchyard he continued
grasping the coffin. " Weel may I cling till her," said he,
weeping; " she's awa that cared for me—nae ither body will
mind me in my weakness." And when the coffin was to be
lowered into the grave, he seized the ropes and wept—
" Fareweel, a lang fareweel, noo," continued he. " This is
the last taiken (token) of ye, but nae a very lang fareweel, for
I'll soon be wi' you."—Aberdeen Herald.
On Thursday an inquest was held at Hull, on
the body of Ensign T. Brown, of the 22d Regiment, who was
drowned in the moat of the garrison on the preceding Tues-
day evening, by the upsetting of a boat in which deceased,
several ladies, and a lieutenant in the same regiment, were at
the time of the. accident. All were safely got out, with
exception of deceased, who after the upsetting of the 1-,,jat
heard to cry out, "We arc all right—we are -'l.l safe !" but
w„
was shortly afterwards missed, having, it '66 supposed, suddenly
sunk into deep water. The Jury rev,
reed a verdict of " Ac-
cidentally drowned." The de
eased was a remarkably fine
young man, and had onl
just attained his 21st year.
An inquisiti.-
,it was on Monday held, before Mr.
Payne, at
'..,e Last and Sugar Loaf, Water-lane, Blackfriars,
on the
. ocdy of Mr. Francis Felton, the manager of the Dub-
...a Steam-wharf, St. Katharine's, whose death was painfully
sudden. The deceased, it appeared, on Sunday, with his
son, went into a boat, intending to row up the River. The
time was between breakfast and dinner, and he was apparently
in perfect health. He had not rowed for more than five mi-
nutes, when he dropped back. The boat was instantly pulled
ashore, and the deceased carried by four men to the surgery of
Mr. Houghton, of Earl-street. That gentleman, from the
symptoms, considered the attack to be apoplectic, and admi-
nistered all the aid he could, but without avail, for in less than
half an hour Mr. Felton ceased to exist. The Coroner ob-
served the case was hardly one for an inquest ; but he had
held one at the desire of the family. Verdict—" Accidental
death."

CORONER'S INQUEST.--DETERMINED SUICIDE
OF A YOUNG GlRL.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the
Prince Regent, Regent-street, Lambeth, before Mr. Carter,
Coroner for Surrey, on view of the body of Anne Boodle, a
fine young woman, aged 19, who destroyed herself by cutting
*her throat with a razor, under the following determined cir-
cumstances :—lt appeared from the evidence that the deceased
resided with her father and sister in Davis-street, Lambeth.
For some weeks before the commission of the rash act the un-
fortunate young girl suffered from a great dejection of spirits,
and complained frequently of violent pains in her head. On
Monday afternoon, during the absence of the family, who vi-
sited the Surrey Zoological Gardens, the poor girl nearly se-
vered her head from her body wither. razor belonging to her
father. When discovered, she was in an expiring state, and
before the arrival of a surgeon life was quite extinct. The
Coroner made particular inquiries of the witness as to whether
the deceased had been disappointed in her affections, or if she
had lately been addressed by any young man ; but it appeared
that neither was the case, the relatives stating that they could
not assign any cause for her dejection, otherwise than from
constitutional causes; nor were they aware of any circum-
stance that annoyed her mind so as to drive her to the commis-
sion of suicide.—The Jury returned a verdict, "'That the de-
ceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary mental
derangement."

SUICIDE (.it AN ELDERLY FEMALE IN THE
DUKE OP NORTHUMBERLAND'S PARK.—Yesterday an inquest
was held at the London Apprentice, Islcworth, beforo Mr.
Stirling, on view of the body of Mrs. Alice Taylor, aged 81, who
committed suicide, iv drowning herself in a canal which runs
through the park of his Grace the DukC of Northumberland,
at Isleworth. James Darnford deposed that on Monday after-
noon he was employed near the canal in the Duke of Nor-
thumberland's grounds, when he discovered the body of the
deceased floating in the canal. By the Jury—l cannot speak
as to the state of the deceased's mind. That part of the
canal where I found the body of the deceased is accessible to
foot passengers. Mrs. Susannah Wheeler, wife of John
Wheeler, ohsleworth, deposed that the deceased was her
mother, and resided with her and family. For some months
past she (deceased) had been in a very dejected state of mind,
which witness could only attribute to her anxiety respecting
some of her gra:idehildren, who were left orphans, and who
she decease'' feared, would be compelled to become inmates
of the w:drkhouse. On Monday morning she was unusually
unb:drpy, and left home saying she was going to Norwood-
green, which was a short distance off, to see some of her
friends, but her unfortunate parent never returned, but must
have gone to the canal and committed the rash act. She
(deceased) did not want for any necessary of life, nor did
anyother circumstance annoy her mind but what witness had
mentioned. The Jury returned a verdict...." that the de-
ceased drowned herself in a state of Temporary Mental De-
rangement."

Livings in the gift of Corporations, tliey wduld sejert
the worst they could find I The Dissentefs, said tills
stieCessoi of the Apostles, are themselves tot
much given to politics to care about any other qua'
lineation in a candidate for a Living. The man 011
is conscious of being actuated by nine brit the the's,
grevdlitig motives, cannot conceive it possible tilt
other men can act from principle. But if Dr. Bl,o'
FIELD would for a moment cease to make himself the
standard by which he measures the Dissenters, and
take history and fact for his guides, he would
that though the Dissenters have been at 8
ll
times honourably distinguished by their dev°•
Lion to the cause of civil liberty, they have
been no less noted for their attachment to religious
principle. He-would learn that it is to tire politic 3
feeling of the Dissenters, directed by religious principle:
that we mainly owe the blessings which we have derive°
fi om the succession of the illustrious House of Hanover
to the British throne. And he would also discover that
the Dissenters once saved the Church of Engl.an a
from impending ruin, by a voluntary sacrifice of their
political privileges at the shrine of religious principle:
for which they were rewarded by that same Church
with a hundred and fifty years of degradation.
Were it necessary to pursue the subject farther, s'e
might remind this worldly-minded and time-servil
Prelate of instances within his own diocese, 511
within his own knowledge, too, in which Dissenters
have purchased advowsons, for the purpose of sear
ing the services of faithful and well-qualified ministers'

and look to the Representatives of the people I.°

The House of Commons, we are sure, will repel wl
merited indignation, this pitiful attempt to fix a Stig.
ma on the dissenting community.
The Bill, we observe, is to be reported this eveniq;
when some discussion is expected to take place. n/e
also arranged that the third reading shall take place
early to-morrow, that the Bill may get back to the CO;
mons on that night. It is thought that under all til
circumstances the appropriation of the Supplies naufl°t
come on till Monday.

In the course of the debate in the House of II
last night, upon the withdrawal of the Marquis °t
LONDONDERRY'S motion with respect to the presella
state of affairs in Spain, several Noble Lords exPress,c,
themselves in terms seeming to imply a suspicion the
good of
good faith and amicable disposition of France towar:ls
the QUEEN'S Government. The expression ef sue d
suspicion is the more remarkable, from both sides
rt
the House concurring in it ; and likewise from ne P°,2
of it being attributed to the mutual jealousies exist'°:
between the people of France and Spain. The silrci
position of a French army in Spain, with the avol°.o
determination of putting down the insurrection
the North, was regarded by Lords BROUGHAM !li,
CARNARVON—noblepien of the most opposite P°l1te
cal principles—as a great national calamity. Had theses
Noble Lords, or either of them, alluded to the crie'he
perpetrated by the French soldiery in Spain during t,
war in the Peninsula, and stated that the recolleetic,
of these crimes filled the Spanish peasantry with a 11°t
~
ror of the presence of a French army—a horror sc)!oe
superable, that again to excite it would be to ar`so
them into the arms of Don CARLOS—we should Ode,
comprehend the full extent of their grounds for 0
nouncing the co-operation of France. This distr°,o
of France is idle and impertinent, if it allude "°t 1:
some intrigues which are being carried on by the viit
vernment of LOUIS PHILLIPPE. We have found t,
entrance to a labyrinth, and leave to Lord PALOS
TON the discovery of the clue.
In all essential particulars, beyond the implied cc
It;
sure of French motives for intervention, the debate it
the Lords was most unsatisfactory. No new Img
from any quarter, was thrown upon the question
15
intervention, directly or indirectly—no exposition °he
made as to the actual powers at the disposal of tod
Spanish Government—no opinion was broadly
.s,
unequivocally expressed as to the extent of the calved
tion contracted by the three Powers who guarauteie
with, and to, Spain the observance of the Quadrille
Treaty—and no attempt was offered to defend /It,
conduct of the Spanish Cortes in proposing the abci
tion of the fueros so long enjoyed by the inhabitants
of the Basques. The speech of the Earl of C 0
he
NARVON, who commenced by stating that
lit
had resided for many years in the Bisea)de
provinces, confirms an assertion which we Into
upwards of six months since—namely, that tle
Catalonians and Biscayans are engaged in a strto
for their fueros—not in a war for the elevation of
CARLOS to the Throne of Spain. "It was," s
i,3°,
the Noble Lord, " the conduct of the Spanish Gin
vernment—it was their injustice—which produced be
Biscay such decided opposition to the cause Ofitpir
QUEEN. They were deprived of their laws, ta;
liberties, and their institutions. Their independencr:

Biscay were a free people, that they paid no toes

institutions."
We confess, that although in the abstract we ;cfbl yt•
approve of every step taken by the QUEEN'S GOVer:s
ment, to give a free constitution and equal privilege,
to Spain, yet we are ready to admit, that the pray
cipitancy with which such a sweeping change s
effected displayed a violence of passion rather than
.eg
calm rational love of liberty. To talk of preson;
the fueros or privileges of the Basques, is ridieul°ol
as well might we insist upon preserving the rigbtsyse
sanctuary in churches and palaces, and thus P3r3lles
the right arm of justice. The fiteros of the 13asci,;
were inconsistent with the good government of Sp3lo.
they rendered the power of the executive completely' 111 it
tr
perative; and what was still worse, they fostered a sPi:o
of dissension and local antipathy among the SPalvio,
people,which frequently endangered the safety of tl'°' ivt
narchy. By theirfreros the Biscayans were c7‘.e110.0
from the payment of all direct taxes ; from furnislii%j
larger contingent of men and money to the annY:oto
navy of Spain than might please themselves ; and to
keeping Custom-houses, or in any way conforming of
the laws passed by the Cortes for the governalel'tite
the rest of the kingdom. Now, it appears to us qll
its
clear that such privileges granted to the iiihabit3uot
of any one district in a country, are tantam°
to a deprivation of rights on the part of the C°ll3ii be
