PLYMOUTH.

--
On Saturday a Mayor's Committee of 21 of this borough,
was held at the Guildhall, on the subject of the Municipal
Corporation Reform Bill-17 of the Committee were pre-
sent. The 115 clauses composing the Bill was read seriatim,
by the Town Clerk, each clause undergoing discussion as read.
The Committee were in deliberation upwards of four hours ;
during which time they reduced into writing various sugges-
tions upon different parts of the Bill in question. The prin-
cipal suggestions were that the poor-rates should be paid one
week before the revision of the lists, instead of up to the time
of revision, to entitle a person to be put on the burgess roll—
that 7 only of the charitable trustees should go out of of
annually ; and that a clause should be added to the Bill, con-
tinuing the present :Via) ors in office till October, when it is to
come into operation, so as to render it unnecessary to elect
Mayors under the present system in cases where they would
otherwise go out of office between this and October next. In
Plymouth the Mayor is elected the end of every September.
Another suggestion to be made is, that residents in boroughs,
who, by their present charters, are exempt from serving on
county juries in consequence of their having to serve on juries
within their own boroughs, quarter sessions being held there,
should still be exempt. Several suggestions as to the mode of
making out the annual lists of burgesses, are also to he made,
' as well as au application for the proposed number of council
for this borough being increased from 39 to 48. It was also
determined by the Committee, that a deputation, consisting of
the Town Clerk and one of the Magistrates, should pro-
ceed to-morrow morning to London, to confer with the bo-
rough Members on the aforegoing suggestions' as well as
with the Government Authorities. They have, however, no
instructions to ask for a qualification for either the Mayor or
Council. This evening a placard appeared on the walls of
the town, announcing that a petition to the Mouse of Com-
mons from the inhabitants of Plymouth, expressive of their
approbation of the principles of the important question of
Corporation Reform now before Parliament, will lie for sig-
natures at several places in the town on Monday and Tues-
day next.

A LARGE PlKE.—Last week, while a gentleman
of the name, of Bowley, was angling in the Grantham Canal,
he caught an enormous jack, which measured three feet four
inches in length, and weighed 221hs. This voracious fresh-
water shark must have caused grett destruction among other
fish in the canal.—[We had one sent to us, three years ago,
which weighed 351b5., and was about 4 feet in length.)—

SIR GRENVILLE TEMPLE'S TRAVELS.--" ItiS
distinction honourable to our nation," observes a contempo-
rary, " that the rich and noble of our countrymen are con-
tinually showing a facility of renouncing the ease and luxury
of their condition, and au ardent love of travel, which car-
ries them even into the distant and now barbarous parts of the
earth. It is not so among other European Nobles, who, un-
less in the prosecution of a war, or in discharge of some
public employment of honour or profit, seldom go out of the
usual circle, luxuriating in Berlin, Paris, Rome, or Naples.
Sir Grenville Temple being at Naples, chartered a Sicilian •
brig, which be fitted up as a yacht for the accommodation of
his family and friends, and taking with him a French artist,
embarked for Africa. Many interesting scenes were visited,
and many valuable drawings taken, his observations on which
arc contained in his " Excursions " now published. We ad-
mire Sir Grenville Temple's energy and enterprise, and feel
bound to thank him for his two agreeable volumes, which
we cordially recommend to our readers."
COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—A Commission of
Lunacy was held yesterday at the Gray's Inn Coffee-house,
before Commissioners Phillimore, Whitmarsh, and Winslow,
to inquire into the state of mind of a gentleman named Peter
Thomas Westcott, Esq. The unfortunate gentleman who
was the subject of inquiry is well known in London. From a
strong desire to engage in discussion upon political matters,
he was a constant visitor at the west-end of the town when
news was to be obtained at the clubs and among the men of
fashion. On 'Change he was to be seen at the height of bu-
siness ; and having large investments both in the English and
Foreign securities, he was anxious, not only on that account,
but from his love of obtaining the earliest information, to
watch the turn of the market with the keenest attention, and
to find out the cause of any panic that occurred. In the even-
ing he was to be found,, during the sitting of Parliament, in
the House of Lords, or the gallery of the House of Commons,
and for permission to visit those establishments he paid his re-
gular session fee. He was equally attentive to the proceedings
under consideration in the courts of law. At •an important
public meeting he was sure to be found, and even at a police
office, if there was a man under examination whose case ex-
cited public interest, there was he also to be seen. He went
up with Mr. Green in his balloon about two or three years ago,
which it is supposed had such an effect upon his nerves that it
caused insanity. The Jury, after a lengthened investigation,
returned a verdict that the unfortunate gentleman bad been in
an unsound state of mind since the 24th of October, 183 f.
Don Miguel is said to have visited Lisbon incognito
during the few weeks of his disappearance from Rome. He
is said to have arrived here in the disguise of a British seaman,
to have remained concealed at the house of Count B. and C.,
to have gone out only in a close carriage, and witnessed the
marriage ceremony of the Queen at the Cathedral—to have
visited St. Übcs, Cintra, and Louras, and not finding things
ripe for his plans, to have re--embarked, and got off undetected,
to the great disappointments of such of his noble friends as
were not made acquainted with his visit. He has since, lam
toad, named General Lentos, Marquis of Alcacer do Sol, from
the victory gained by that leader at this spot, reserving to him-
self the opportunity of putting him in possession of his Mar-
,:uisite, when he should recover his usurped and lost crown, on
the same principle as Don Pedro created the Marquis of Pat.
mella a Duke of that title, without being in possession of t/te
castle of Palmella. Several Italian merchant-men, a Sar-
dinian frigate, and a Sardinian steamer of war, hovered about
this coast, an:l at times put into Lisbon, in and since January.

" My NEIGHBOURHOOD," BY THE AUTHOR OP
" THE COLLEGIANS."—Mr. Griffin, the author of these tales,
has already given evidence of his descriptive powers in " The
Collegians," and the present volumes show that he has •
thorough knowledge of the Irish character and of Ireland,
where the scene of his stories is laid. The banks of the
Shannon present a rich harvest of curious tradition, of which
the author has availed himself to the best advantage. The
wild scenery of Ireland is described with graphic fidelity and
accuracy. The author, indeed, appears to luxuriate in the
i richness and wildness of nature ; he invests every locality upon
, which he touches with some peculiar characteristic, anal leads
us to mountains, caverns, groves, and rivers, of all of which he
speaks with the ardour of a true lover of the sublime and beau-
i titul."—Courier.

COB ONER'S INQUEST.-Yesterday evening an in-
quest was held at the Charing-cross Hospital, before Mr.
Higgs and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of William
Prior, a fine youth aged only 18, who terminated his existence
by discharging a pistol bullet into his body at the Salisbury
lintel, in the Strand. It appeared from the evidence that the
deceased was of a variable disposition, and had been for the
previous two years in several good situations, which he gave
up without any ostensible cause. He had formed an attach-
ment to a young woman, a waitress at Morley's Hotel, and in
consequence, as he alleged, of her cold neglect and ill-treat-
ment, he purchased a pistol on Monday, tried it on Tuesday,
but it did not act, and at half-past nine on Wednesday morning
he shot himself in bed on the right side of the body, which it
traversed. He lingered till midnight, had an interview with
the female in question, and then expired, being sewiible to the,.
last. The wadding of the pistol had set fire to the tied clothes,.
anti when the landlord, alarmed by the report, ;rulbed up to
the room, he was extinguishing it with the bloqd'that flowed
from the wound. After an investigation of thfike hours, the
Jury found a verdict that the deceased was Felo-cfe-se at the .
time he committed the act.
