NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, Juisis 20.—The Melville, 74, with the flag of
Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore, and the Winchester, of 52 guns,
with the flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir T. B. Capel, as
well as the Andromache, 28, were lying at Bombay on the
14th March ; the Melville may, therefore, be hourly expected
at Spithead.
The Hyacinth, sloop of war, Captain Blackwood, left Syd-
ney on the 16th Feb., with the Governor and suite on board,
on a tour of inspection at Twofold Bay.
The Hibernia, Capt. R. Gillies, from Calcutta, went past
this morning (Saturday) for the River. Left Calcutta Jan.
12, the Cape March 21, and Ascension April 13. The intel-
ligence from Ascension of the Western African squadron is as
follows:—No less than seventeen slavers (Spanish and Por-
tuguese vessels) wary lying at Wydah, waiting for opportu-
nities to take in their slaves and be off, which they would soon
be enabled to do, as Admiral Campbell had been obliged, by
the war with the Caffrees in South Africa, to call part of his
sqadron to the Cape of Good Hope. The Pelican, from Eng-
land, and the Charybdis, had gone thither. The Curlew and
Buzzard were at Sierra Leone on Feb. 28 ; the Lynx, at
Prince's Island : Pelorus, cruising off Prince's ; Britomart,
off Old Calabar ; Forrester, off Wydah ; Griffon, in the Gain-
bia ; the Brisk, off Sierra Leone. The Fair Rosamond was
lying at Ascension, for provisions. Mr. Judd, midshipman of
the Pelorus, died at Sierra Leone, on Feb. 24, after a few
days' illness. Mr. James Miller, midshipman of the Fair Ro-
samond, and four seamen invalided, were sent home in the
Hibernia.
The Hibernia fell in with, on the 30th ult., in lat. 4, long.
27 15 W., the William Watt, of about 380 tons, waterlogged
and deserted, having a cargo of plank and staves. No doubt
she was from North America, and had been in that state for
some time. Her masts and rigging were all standing. From
appearances, it was judged the crew had been taken out by
some other vessel, as all her sails were gone, and the running
rigging unrove. A lugger was observed standing towards the
wreck on the same day. The Hibernia spoke, on the 12th
instant, the tropic, from Barbadoes, for London, fifty-four
days out ; and the United Kingdom, bound to Jamaica, in
lat. 21 12, long. 41 12. The Hibernia was nearly three weeks
within 300 miles of the Channel, contending with light calms
and N.E. wilds.
Passengers by the Hibernia—Captain Sanrin, 32d Native
Infantry, in charge of Invalids ; Colin Scott, Esq. ; Mrs.
Baker and family ( Thomas Baker, Esq., died on the passage,
on the 30th ult., from a paralytic attack—he had spent the
greater part of his life in India) ; William Love, Esq. ;
and Mrs. Corry, and Mr. Pearson, with forty East India Com-
pany invalids.

York, and landed him there on the 29th of April, for the be-
nefit of his health.

11th, and the latter on the 21st April ; the Pelican sailed again
on the 13th, and the Rolla the 24th of the same month. The

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1835.

If we may judge from the discussion which took
riftee last night on the two or three first clauses
at" the Corporation Reform Bill, that measure will take
some time before it pass into a law. Mr. W. PRAED,
by way of prelude, commenced proceedings with a very
f,olish motion, followed by an equally foolish speech.
Tr'hat will the public think of the wisdom of the Legis-
Lttor, who could with a grave face propose " that
all freemen of existing Corporations, and those who
are in the progress of acquiring their freedom, and
their descendants, ought to be maintained in the en-
oyment of any rights, privileges, and properties, of
which they may be in possession, or which they
:41ould acquire by virtue of charters now in force,
Fo far as the continuance of such rights, pri-
v.lges, and properties may be found consistent
the institution of good municipal govern-
rent, and the popular control of Corporate funds."
Yet, this proposition, which, as far as it has any
Ll,.:aning, must be considered as a negative upon
principle of the Bill, was not only endured,
but seriously debated by the House to the great de-
of the important business of the night. We
eao easily believe that it would be extremely
:recable to Mr. W. PRA ED that the present rights
privileges—however come by—of the freemen of
mouth should be preserved—aye, and handed down
t their descendants to the latest generations. But it
va.l require something more powerful than his fustian
).;atf..ric to accomplish this. Of the immaculate character
the persons whom the Member for Yarmouth has
t pus taken under his especial patronage, we need not
,sa: any thing. It is too notorious to require a single
r,:llark. But it may afford the reader some amuse-
ml.lt to cast his eye over the following tabular state-
L. :nit, referred to by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in reply
to ',he Hon. Member, in which he will find a beau-
Cud illustration of the connection between a general
w,,:.ytion and the creation of freemen, at least in 128
ci. es and towns :

,Perhaps Mr. PRAED may be so well skilled in the
tl,ctrine of chances as to he able to prove that this
(:).i:iciclence, so striking to a common understanding,
VaS entirely the result of accident !
After some half-dozen Members had delivered their
s-atiments, and among the rest our worthy friend Col.
i:s.iTimßP, who expressed a natural anxiety to know
iNitat was to be the fate of Corporation leaseholders, the
znotion was withdrawn, and the Bill at last got into
Committee. There was no opposition to the three
fit ;t clauses, when the Committee came to the
Luith clause, whit:.ll vests the power of fixing the
I_,aidaries of Corporate Towns in the KING'S
Council, Sir ROBERT PE....7L gave notice of his
intention to move that the bot:
jidaries should be
tennined by Act of Parliament. He did this,
)h' stated, from no intention to delay the passing
of a measure, in the necessity of which he so entirely
elncurred, but solely from his conviction that t;:f. Plan
proposed was more agreeable to the Constitution
The Right Hon. Baronet was, however, saved
trouble—sve were about to say odium—of
maßing his motion, by that chivalrous Whig,
Lord _ DUDLEY STUART, who took it out of his
Lands, and divided the Committee on it. We
are happy to think that this constitutional mode of
putting a spoke in the wheel of Corporation Re-
fuel *or a year and a half at least, did not suc-
