MEMOIRES DE LA DUCHESSE DE ST. LEV',
DAUGHTER OF THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE.—Persons will
be agreeably surprised on receiving this work, to find that
they have not only got a most interesting book of memoirs
for their library, but also a series of twelve most beautiful
songs, set to the choicest music, and embellished with
plates' f the scenes of each of the compositions. Although
got up for the drawing-room in the most splendid style,
yet it is published at the price of an ordinary work (255.)
and certainly forms one of the most delightful presents
that could be made to any lady.
LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF AMERICAN
LIFE.--Great curiosity having already been manifested by
the public to know the names of the writers in this admir-
able collection of native sketches and stories, we areena-
bled to inform the lovers of original fiction that, among
others, there are tales by BRYANT, the great poet of Ame-
rica, PAULDING, Miss SEDGWICK, and the Rev. Mr.
FLINT, an authoi of the highest reputation in that coun-
try, which boasts the names of COOPER and WASHING-
TON IRVING.

(Concluded from Tke Sun of yesterday.)
REFORM COMMITTEE.
• Mr. STEPHENS brought up the report of the Re-
form Committee appointed in 1831 to watch th,
Reform Bill. The Committee reported that the,
had suggested several important amendments and
• alterations in the Reform Bill connected with th,
' rights of the citizens of London; and the principal
amendment, continuing the elective franchise to the
Livery, had been introduced and adopted.
DINNER TO LORDS GREY AND ALTHORP.
' Mr. FLETCHER read the resolution passed at a
former Court, in which the freedom of the city was
proposed to be conferred on Lords Grey and Althorp,
which had, when submitted, been carried unani-
mously. He had now to propose other resolution,.
in accordance with the spirit of the former one, and
to solicit the attention of the Committee to the
most respectful as well as most appropriate mode of
conferring this mark of gratitude on those Noble-
men, to whom the country was so deeply indebted.
It was the opinion of many members of that Court
with whom he had conferred, that the Court should
celebrate the triumph of Reform by a public enter-
tainment, to be given by the Corporation in their
public capacity. It was, therefore, at this festivity
:-, that he was of opinion .tire testimony conferred by
the city on Lords Grey and Althorp would be most
appropriately presented. He should, therefore, move
a series of resolutions, to the effect, that the freedom
of the city be presented to Lords Grey and Althorp
at an entertainment in Guildhall, given by the Cor.
poration, to which all those Noblemen who voted
in the minority upon Lord Lyndhurst's motion for
postponing the disfranchising clauses, all those Mem-
bers who voted for the third reading of the Bill,
and such others as have shown themselves active in
the cause of Reform, be invited ; and that the Com-
mittee be empowered to draws sum from the Cham-
ber, not exceeding 3,0001. for that purpose. He
begged to call to the recollection of the Court, that
the entertainment of 1814 cost upwards of 20,000/.,
but he proposed to adopt on the present occasion
quite another system ; and, without speaking in dis-
paragement of what the former Committee did, he
would say, that in this instance it would not be ne-
cessary either to break through stone walls, gravel
the streets, pay 500/. for the Committee's expense,
or give 1,360/. in gratuities to officers, clerks, &c.
The present Committee, he apprehended, would
not seek large recompense for their services, but
would be content with a medal of the value of ten
guineas, or thereabouts.
Mr. WILSON seconded the resolutions.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES was satisfied the present
motion was quite consistent with the course the
Court had adopted on a former day.
Mr. DEATH begged to move, that 2,500/. in
place of 3,000/. be adopted, as not more than 500
guests would be present.—(Laughter.) The citi-
zens of London for many years had not enjoyed a
feast of reason—(laughter)—and the proposed fes-
tivity would certainly be a reasonable feast ; but he
confessed he should like to have had ladies invited.
Mr. PEARSON hoped his friend would not divide
the Court, as he had something to propose, after the
tale of " Death and the Lady" was disposed of.—
(Laughter.)
Mr. GALLOWAY did not know how the ladies
were to be accommodated, unless the Members of
the Court absented themselves.
Mr. DIXON hoped better arrangements would be
entered into on this occasion than on the last. Such
was the wicked waste of the wine-merchants' pro-
perty, that a quantity amounting to three bottles to
each lady was conveyed, as if for their use.—
(Laughter.)
The resolutions were then carried ; and a Com-
mittee, consisting of all the Aldermen present, the
City Members, and a Commoner from each Ward,
was then appointed.
PUBLIC REJOICINGS ON THE PASSING OF
THE REFORM BILL.
Mr. PEARSON begged to submit a motion that re-
ference be made to a Committee to ascertain whe-
ther any, and what sum, not exceeding 3,000/.,
could be appropriated to the celebration of the
public triumph. His plan was, not to give a dinner
to those who could give dinners in return, but to
those in want of a dinner. It had been said that
the road to a man's heart was down his throat ; but
without caring for the proof of this observation, he
maintained if they gave the poor man a dinner on this
occasion, it would have the good effect of assuring him
there did exist a sympathy between the higher and
lower classes. It had been ascertained there were
upwards of thirty thousand in the city to whom a
good meal and a good draught of beer would prove
a very good thing. Now, while the Corporation
was celebrating their triumph in Guildhall with
Statesmen and Noblemen, he was convinced it would
enhance their pleasure to know that through their
instrumentality each poor man had got a good piece
of beef roasting, or mutton boiling in his pot. He
had no fear of large masses of people congregating
together. He had sat down with thousands while
on an election expedition, and it was by such large
festive meetings, at which he never observed the
slightest symptom of disorder, that lie was enabled
to beat the great boroughmongering Duke. But he
deferred to public feeling, and therefore his plan
was, that through the local Boards of Health, who
were well acquainted with the necessities of their
respective districts, a quantity of meat and bread
should be distributed—to each child half a
pound of meat and one pound of bread—to
each man and woman 11b. of meat, 21b. of bread,
and one pint of beer. He proposed, likewise, that
the members of the Court should put their hands in
their pockets and contribute towards the expense. He
should then consider another class of the ccmmunity—
t hose who would refuse to accept eleemosynary contri-
butions, but would not object to receive a dinner out of
their own funds. There were about six thousand five hun-
dred freemen inhabitant householders in the City; but,
as many would be otherwise engaged, be did not suppose
more than 5,000 could be mustered, which number he
proposed should all dine together in one place, and that
all the children from each Ward and City school should
dine with them. The ladies were not to be forgotten.
He would have sixty rooms beautifully decorated with
evergreens, fitted up for the wives of the freemen, to
n-Jli tea after dinner; and as the evening would not be
properly finished except by a dance, he would provide ae-
coinnaodation for 2,000 couple. The dinner should con-
sist of meat, poultry, and pudding, with plenty of good
beer and a pint of
port wine to each. He had a plan,
and he was convinced of its practicability. All that he
wanted was the use of Faringdon Market for two days, for
it was on that spot that he wished to give the freemen a
dinner, and be would undertake that all the expenses
should not exceed 3000/. He would thus feed and enter-
tain 40,000 at the same expense as the Corporation pro-
posed to entertain 800. His plan would prove also an
excellent advertisement for the market, for the complaint
against it was, that people did not know where it was
situated. He hoped to have no straight-laced notion of
economy propounded against his plan, when it was re-
memembered that 25,0001. had been spent to entertain
seine Crowned heads and the Duke of Wellington—that
3,850/. was expended at the opening of the new London
Bridge, and that SOO/. had been expended in eating and
drink
ing the erection of the statue of George the Third.
Mr. TICKNER begged to move the previous question.
Only by the Committee employed in superintend-
Thing
equestion, on being put, was carried in favour of
Mr. Pearson's motion by a large majority.

LooK-A-READ.—A Tory Member declared
the extent of the Reform Bill positively made the hair of
Members on his side of the House stand on end. On the
ensuing elections they will find the Bill to have a still
greater effect un the state 9f the poll.—. Figaro in London.

Earl RODEN withdrew his notice for the 19th, of the
motion he intended to bring on on the state of Ireland,
and gave notice that he would bring on the motion on
the 23d.

Lord CAMPERDOWN presented a petition from a
place in Scotland, signed by 150 persons, in favour of the
new plan of Education in Ireland. Hii Lordship defended
the plan, and denied that it excluded the Bible.

Lord CARBERY presented a petition from Cork
against the proposed plan.
Lord SUFFIELD moved for certain papers relating to
Slavery, which were ordered.
TITHES (IRELAND.)
The Duke of RICHMOND laid upon the table certain
papers relating to Irish Tithes.

Lord CARBERY begged to inquire whether there was
any likelihood of the Irish Tithe Committee boon bringing
its labours to a conclusion ?

The Marquess of LANSDOWNE said, that he be-
lieved the Committee had beard enough to justify it in
closing the evidence, but that evidence was under consi-
deration, as also the suggestions of various individuals
upon this important subject; but as soon as proper con-
sideration had been given both the evidence and the sug-
gestions, he had no doubt the Committee would not long
delay making their report.
EXCHEQUER COURT (SCOTLAND) BILL.)
On the order of the day being moved for the House
going into Committee on this Bill,
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH objected to the abo-
lition of the Scotch Court of Exchequer, without fur-
ther proof of its inutility. He should therefore propose
that a message should be sent to the House of Commons,
begging it to communicate to their Lordships the report of
the Select Committee of that House upon this Bill. Per.
haps he ought, in the first instance, to move that the
Committee be postponed till Wednesday next.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that no doubt the
Noble Duke had a right to ask their Lordships to send for the
Committee of the House of Commons' Report, but he only
reminded their Lordships that this was the very Bill which
they had themselves sent down to the other House last
Session, which had certainly instituted an inquiry into the
matter. By the evidence produced in the course of that
inquiry it appeared that for the last twenty years
there had been only an average of six defended causes,
and five arguments. During the last seven years, that
little had been reduced to four defended causes in the
year, and four arguments. During the last two years,
as there was nothing so little that you could
not find something less, the avnage had been reduced
to two defended causes and two arguments. The unde-
fended causes were about as numerous, and were dimi-
nishing in the same proportion. The Judges of the
Gant had some business as deputies of the Lords of
the Treasury in London, but the whole of that business
might be done in 15 days, whilst the whole judicial busi-
ness only occupied nine days. The Bill appointed one of
the Judges of the Court of Session to do this business and
save the expense of maintaining the Court of Exchequer.
He stated these point., in order that, when the Commons'
report came up, they might know to what they would find
most interest in directing their attention.

Lord TENTERDEN-said that. the Learned Barons of
the Court of Exchequer of Scotland had for the last twenty
years been in a most enviable situation.
The E of HADDINGTON thought it would be
better that the establishment of the Court of Exchequer
should he diminished than that it should be put an end to
altogether. It was a false economy to put an end to it
altogether, and perhaps more business might be added to it.
The Earl of CAMPERDOWN—The present Chief
Baron had given a decided opinion that the business might
easily be done by a Judge of the Court of Se,sion. His
predecessor (Sir S. Shepherd) had not spoken so decidedly,
but there was every reason to believe that the present Lord
Chief Baron was right. It was a common saying in Scot-
land that the Exchequer Court was useless. But at the
same time it was fitting that they should have the report of
the Commons, and there they would find some valuable facts
as to the collection of the Revenue, and it might be of use
in that way.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had not rested this Bill
solely on the ground of saving to the public, although that
was important, but principally on the ground that this
Court was an anomaly in our judicial system—a sinecure
Court of Justice.

The Duke of WELLINGTON was aware that this
Court had not sufficient employment, but still he doubted
whether this was a sufficient ground for abolishing it alto-
gether. It might be better to diminish the establishment
or to add more business, instead of abolishing the Court
altogether, more particularly as the Act of Union appeared
to have been framed with great anxiety for the preserva-
tion of the Scotch legal institutions.

The Earl of ROSEBERY expressed the highest opi-
nion of, and regard for, Sir Samuel Shepherd, but thought
that on this subject the opinion of the present Chief Ba-
ron was entitled to more weight. There was not suffi-
cient bthiness for this Court, and it was unnecessary to
preserve it. As to the act of Union, that had been re-
peatedly trenched upon, where it app,ared to be for the
advantage of Scotland and the whole empire that it should'.
be so. The Scotch Privy Council, for instance, had'
been abolished very soon after the Union, and afterwards',
the heritable jurisdictions were abolished, although in
some rut-asure private property.

LORD CHANCELLOR.—There was no additional busi.
ness that could be added to the Scotch Court of Exchequer.
Even during the Administration of the Noble Duke (Wel-
lington) two Judges had been taken from the Court of
Session; and yet additional business had been imposed on
the Court—such as that of the Commissary, Admiralty,
and Jury Courts.

The Earl of HADDINGTON—The Lords Ordinary
complained that too much business had been thrown upon
them.

It was ultimately agreed that the Bill should be corn
mitred on Thursday next.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCII moved that a message be
sent to the Common•, praying that they would communi-
cate the evidence taken by their Committee on this Bill.
Ordered.

A NOBLE LORD gave notice that he would move
the second reading of the Anatomy Bill on Friday next.
Adjourned till Thursday next.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE S.

Lord KILLEEN presented two petitions from parislieb
in the county of Meath, praying for the speedy passing of
a Reform Bill for Ireland, equally efficient with the Bill
for England ; also seven petitions from various parishes in
the same county, praying for the, abolition of tithes and
church-rates.
Mr. Alderman WOOD moved that the Golden-lane
Burial-ground Bill be read a third time this day week.
Ur. HUME said this Bill had been brought in on be-
half of a gentleman (no doubt of great respectability) for
the purpose of establishing a cemetery in the only open
space to be found in the neighbourhood of a very dense
population, and where there were already a sufficient

Mr. H. JOHNSON presented epetition frosn the Ge-
neral Assembly of the Kith of Scotland in favour of the
plan of Irish Education, and said he hoped that when this
highly important subject came regularly under discussion,
all party feeling would be excluded from it.—(Hear.)
Sir G. WARRENDER supported the prayer of the
petition, being sure that it would be considered by the
Irish Members as emanating from a body that had the hest
feelings for the interest of Ireland.

Mr. C. FERGUSSON agreed entirely with the prayer
of the petition, coming from so enlightened a body.
Captain GORDON considered that no such petition
would have been presented from the Assembly of the
Church of Scotland, had it not been for a misunderstanding
of part of the statement made by the Right Hon. Secretaty
for Ireland.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT deprecated the course
taken by the Honourable Member for Dundalk, believing
that it would have the effect of exasperating one body
of people in Ireland against another. That Honourable
Member had done as much as he possibly could to spread
the spirit of discord in that country, and he hoped the
Honourable Member would not be allowed to pursue
such a course.

Mr. R. A. DUNDAS would not have ventured a single
observation had it not been for the statements of the
Right Honourable Baronet. He had most unworthily
attacked the motives of his Hon. Friend the 'Member for
Dundalk. He considered every Hon. Member had a
right to state his opinions in that House, and
would take upon himself to assert that those of
his Honourable Friend were as sincere as those o f
the Right Hon. Baronet. If he saw a sy,tern similar to
the one now existing in Scotland introduced into Ireland
it would meet with his most hearty concurrence.
Mr. JAMES GRATTAN defended the system intro..
duced by his Majesty's Goverment.

Sir O. MURRAY advocated the giving the whole
Scriptures to the people of Ireland.

Mr. A. JOHNSTONE deprecated any further discus.
sion on this important subject. He, (or one, would like to
give the experiment of the Secretary of Ireland a fair trial.
The petition was then ordered to be printed.
Mr. HOPE JOHNSON presented petitions to the same
effect from the Presbyteries of Annan and Linlithgow.
On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, it was agreed that
the House at its rising should stand adjourned to Wed-
nesday next. The Noble Lord wished to be informed
what day would be convenient for the Scotch Members to
take their Reform Bill into consideration, for Wednesday
the Irish Bill was fixed, but any other day might be named.
Mr. O'CONNELL did not think that the Right Hon.
Secretary for Ireland was ready to go on with the Irish,
Bill.—( Hear, hear.) Nothing was yet printed, neith,r
the population Returns nor the Boundary marks. In
his opinion it would be infinitely better to .post.
pone that Bill until Friday, so that the documents
might be before the House. He saw a motion on the
books by the Right Hon. Secretary her Ireland, for intro-
ducing a Bill to atop party processions in that coun-
try. But he thought it was altogether unnecessary, and
hoped it would not be brought on after 12 o'clock. lie
would pledge himself to prevent all Catholic pi °cessions.—
(Hear, hear.) Yes, he pledged himself t) prevent all Ca-
tholic processions, and as fur the Orange processions, the
Catholics now eared not for them.
Sir R. BATESON wished to know who the Hon.
illember meant when he said they would stop all the
processions?

Mr. O'CONNELL—The Irish Catholic clergy, who
have an influence over the people.
Lord ALTHORP had no objection to substitute the
Scotch for tile Irish Reform Bill on Wednesday, if it were
convenient to Hon. Members. As to the motion
alluded to by the Hon. Member, he would pledge himself
that it should come on at a reasonable hour of the night.

Mr. SHEIL did not see why the discussion on the Irish
Bill could not come on on Wedne,day. There was plenty
of time to have the boundary maps printed before then.
On the motion that the House go into Committee on
the Boundaries Bill,

Sir GEORGE CLERK said that the Privilege of Par:
liament Bill being fixed for the day on which the Scotch
Bill was proposed to be brought up, another day might
perhaps be more convenient.

Lora ALTHORP had no objection to any day that would
be convenient to the Scotch Memb,re. No discussion had

ever been carried on with more fairness than on that Bill;
perhaps this day week would suit the convenience of all

parties, which was agreed to.

Mr. HUME had a petition to present from an indi-
vidual respecting the French claims. He wished to ask
the Noble Lord opposite for a statement on the subject.,
There was 500,000/. to divide, and he wished to knew its
what state the division was.

Lord ALTHORP said that in consequence of a deci-
sion which had been pronounced, the priorities were now
_ascertained, and he believed, although there were soriob
disputed claims, there would he quite enough to liqu lit
all the allowed demands,

Mr. HUAIE inquired whether it would be necessary t
bring in a Bill for the purpose of distribution.
Lord ALTHORP could ❑ot precisely say, but 6 b,e
lieved there would not.
DUCHY OF CORNWALL.

Colonel EVANS wished to ask the Noble Lord a
question relative to the leases that were granted by the
'Llitchy of Cornwall: He knew of a gentleman whose
had held certain lands under the Duchy for more
than 200 years ; and now quite unexpectedly the Commis.
sioners of the Duchy refused to renew his lease on the
usual terms, but had demanded fines to the amount of
70,0001. to which he must submit, or enter into a most

tedious and expensive law-suit. He (Colonel Evans),
therefore, would be glad to know if the Noble Lord could
give him any information on the subject; and he also
wished to ask whether, in the event of this 70,0001. being
received, it was to be placed to the account of the Duchy
of Cornwall, or accrue to the public in the shape of a set.
off against the Civil List?
Lord ALTHORP—I must decline answer;ag the
question of the Gallant Officer, the estate,: of the

Duchy of Cornwall being the private property of the
Crown, they not having been surrendered to the public
with the other hereditary revenues of the Monarch.
Under these circumstances, I think that the House
has no more power to inquire into the management
of the Duchy of Cornwall, than into that of the estate of
any private gentleman. At the same time I may be al-
lowed to observe, that I have heard something about the
of it. T
ease to whhiisc, hhtohweeGvearl,lalnint Officer csy,
earhas alluded, though it
would be contrary to my du'y to enter into any discussion
that in my judgment
nothing has been done which a private individual would
not be justified in doing.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRISCOE said, that there certainly was an im-
pression abroad, that the property of the Duchy of Corn-
wall belonged to the public. Many constituents of his
were deeply interested in the question : and some of their
eases, if examined, would prove to be cases of great hard-
shift; as they had all moral justice, if not all legal equity,
on their side. They had, however, taken steps for laying
their cases before the Commissioners of the Duchy of
ornwall ; and he hoped that they would meet with that

attention which would prevent the necessity of an applica.
tion to Parliament on their behalf.'
The SPEAKER then put the question, and the HouN:
resolved itself into a Committee on the
DIVISION OF COUNTIES BILL.

Mr. BERNAL in the Chair.
Clause 48 was put and agreed to, after some amendments.
The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of
the Bill.
Clause A was then agreed to.
Clause B, after the alteration of a few words, proposed
I.y Lord J. RUSSELL, was agreed to, as amended.
Clauses C, D, E, and F, were also agreed to, and or
dered to stand parts of the Bill.
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded with schedule L, in
which Lord John Russell proposed several amendments,
upon which the Noble Lord, Mr. H. Ross, and Mr. Littleton
made a few remarks, but in so low a tone that they were
inaudible in the gallery. The amendments having been
gone through, the schedule, as amended, was ordered to
stand part of the Bill.
Schedules M 1, M 2, N and 0, after some conversation
across the table, were severally agreed to.
On the clause respecting the boundary of Arundel,
Lord DUDLEY STUART and Mr. Alderman A TKINS
opposed the union of Littlehampten with Arundel, and
recommended that the intervening parishes, should be taken
instead.

Lord J. RUSSELL was averie to the disjunction of
Littlehampton, but had no objection to the addition of
the other parishes.
After some discussion, in which Mr. Littleton, Sir C.
Wetherell, Mr. West, Mr. Goulburn, &c. participated,
the clause was postponed.
The remaining clauses of the Bill, with some verbal
amendments, were then' agreed to; and the Report was
brought up, with the amendments, and agreed to.
On the question that it be received,

Mr. BURKE objected to two villages being added to
Exeter, that city having already a sufficient constituency.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL maintained that the addition
was advisable, inasmuch as there was a community of in-
terest between the city and those parishes, and because
the constituency would be rendered more independent by
the addition.

Mr. BAILLIE objected to the proposal in this Bill to
take portions of the counties of Gloucester and Somerset,
in the immediate vicinity of the city of Bristol, and to
add their inhabitants to the voters for that city. Two
evils would be effected by this arrangement; the first was,
that the already numerous constituency of the city of Bris-
tol, would be increased by between 3,000 and 4,000
voters; and the next was, that the portions of these two
counties, adjoining that city, would be rendered almost
close boroughs. He supposed, however, that his objection
would have as little effect as that of the Honourable Mem-
ber for Exeter had produced ; but still be felt it his duty
to make it. •

The House resumed, the report was brought up, read,
and ordered to be further considered on Thursday next.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved, that a Select Com-
mittee be appointed to consider the report of the Com-
missioners upon the limits of the borough of Arundel, and
to report their opinions thereon to the House.

The motion was agreed to, and the Committee ap-
pointed.

On the motion of Mr. J. CAMPBELL, the House
went into a Committee on the Limitation of Actions Bill.
Several verbal amendments were agreed to, and the House
having resumed, the report was ordered to be brought up
on Wednesday next.
