POOLE.

The inhabitants of Poole have universally expressed their
disgust at the evidence given at the bar of the House of Lords,
relative to Poole, by the two witnesses obtained by the town-
clerk, who, with his witnesses arc, it is stated, to a considerable
extent dependant upon the leaders of a political party here.
No petition against the Bill has been got up, but a petition in
its favour was signed by 600 persons of wealth, respectability,
and character, in a few hours.

EDINBURGH.—The Lord Provost, in compliance, with a
numerously-signed requisition, has called a public meeting of
the inhabitants for to-morrow, at three o'clock, to petition the
House of Lords to pass the Municipal Corporation Reform
Bill, as agreed to by the House of Commons.—Edinburgh
Observer.

LYMINGTON, Auo. 12, 1835.—The indignation of the in-
habitants of this town has been strongly excited by the conduct
of the House of Lords towards the Corporation Bill : and a
public meeting is called for Friday the 14th instant, to express
their opinion on the subject.
CORK.—It will be perceived, by the letter of our Dublin
Correspondent, that the inhabitants of Cork are about to pe-
tition the Lords to pass the Corporation Bill without delay.

WEST COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

THURSDAY, AUG. 13.

A Coroner's Inquest was held this afternoon in the Town
Hall, by H. Sewell, Esq., and a respectable Jury, on the
body of James Sivier, ostler, at the Union Inn. It appeared
that he had been cuarrelling with a man named Jurret, about
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and on his wishing to leave
the tap-room of the Union, Sivier tried to prevent him. Some
words and a push or blow ensued. Sivier fell on his back,
his head being fractured by the fall on the stones., He died
almost immediately. Many witnesses %vere examined. and
after an investigation of four' hours, the Jury were unanimous
in a verdict of Accidental Death.

As a man named Harris was sailing up the harbour about
1 o'clock yesterday, a puff of wind came off Sun Slip, and the
sheet being made fast, capsized the boat. Luckily a boat
put off from a yacht, and picked him up.

Dox CA RLOS —The Baron de Los Valles' Nar•
rative of the extraordinary events which have lately marked
the life of this Prince, will be immediately published. The
origin of the present civil war in Spain will be clearly traced
to the Court intrigues which existed just before the death of
Ferdinand VII., when the respective influence of the Neapoli-
tan and Portuguese parties were forcibly felt. It is fortunate
for the illustration of modern European history, that the writer
of the remarkable work alluded to should have been placed in
the most intimate confidence of Don Carlos, by whose side he
fought in the late actions in the Peninsula. The personal ad-
ventures of Charles V. of Spain and his Queen are, in the
highest degree, interesting abnd romantic; not less in his own
country than in London, where his recent movements were
closely watched by our own Government, and by Talleyrand
on the part of France. The career of that enterprising sol-
dier Zumalacarreguy, will also be developed minutely, and the
volume altogether will throw much light on the actual state of
that contest in which so many our countrymen have just era-
bark'ed to take a part.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1835.

The " Pressure from Without" has not yet. had the de-
sired effect on the House of Lords. To' use the apt
phrase of the Earl of MANSFIELD, their Lordships have
recovered their " independence and elasticity." They are
no longer to be advised, or remonstrated with ; but are re-
solved, at all hazards, to deal with the people after their
own fashion, as they showed last night, by their proceed-
ings on the Corporation Reform Bill. Lord LYNDHURST
—fit leader in such a cause !—headed the assault on this
great popular measure ; but in so doing received a thrust
from the keen-edged sword of Lord MELBOURNE, which we
suspect, will occasion him sore annoyance for many a day
to come. The Noble Viscount, in terms galling from the
exquisite refinement of their irony, implored his Lordship
to grant the same toleration to others which he demanded
for himself. We hope he will profit by this hint ; for abuse
of Whigs and Whig principles comes with singularly bad
grace from one who has himself, in the course of a long
and chequered public career, not only changed from Whig
to Tory, but absolutely boxed the political compass ! We
do not forget—nor will the country forget—his Lordship's
harlequinade movements on the Catholic question ; how, in
1828, he vehemently opposed it, as Attorney-General, in the
House of Commons ; and how, in 1829, he as vehemently
advocated it, as Chancellor, in the House of Lords. His
exhibition last night was every way worthy of such an un-
rivalled political Proteus. It was not manly, or strait-
forward, but tricky and jesuitical. With the words " pri-
vileges of freemen" constantly on his lips, the whole
drift of his speech was to destroy every particle of freedom
that the Corporation Bill proposes to bestow on the peo-
ple. Vain was Lord MELBOURNE'S opposition to this crafty
amendment ; vain his appeal to the justice of the House ;
vain his solemn denunciations of its entire course of pro-
ceeding ;—their Lordships would not be convinced ; and
having thus arrayed themselves in opposition to the interests
of the community ; having drawn the sword and flung away
the scabbard ; they must be prepared to abide by the conse-
quences of their rashness.
In every step of their progress their Lordships
have verified our predictions to the letter. We warned
the country that they would never pass the Corpo-
ration Bill, as such a great measure should be passed,
and the result has justified our warning. We now further
assure the people, that if they do not themselves stir im-
mediately, and to some purpose, neither Corporate Reform
—nor Irish Church Reform—nor any other Reform—will
they have this Session. Every useful measure will be
adjourned over to next year, and who knows what may
take place between this and then ? As they value, then,
their rightful privileges, let the people, one and all, hasten
to make such a display of firmness, as shall at once scare
their Lordships into a sense of propriety. The Pressure
from Without is the only way to obtain justice from Within.
The Peers are deaf to a whisper, They are to be roused
only by a thunder-clap. When they hear the tempest
whistling about their crazy edifice ; see the walls rocking,
and the roof about to tumble on their heads, then, perhaps,
they may feel disposed to come to terms with us ; but till
then, they will laugh at our supplications, and treat our
remonstrances with contempt. See how long they held
out against the Reform Bill ! Did they concede it from a
sense of justice ? No ! It was wrung from them by their
fears ; and to those same fears we must now again ap-
peal, if we desire again to be victorious. Yet Lord
SEG RA VE, forsooth, is horror-struck at such an idea!
He thinks we should be all softness—all apathy—all
yielding submission. That we should submit to the
bow-string with a smile, and kiss the hand that
is adjusting it to our throat. Yes, this Whig Peer, who
was all for agitation during the Reform Bill, and who was
himself raised to the Peerage by the helping hand he lent
to that agitation, has now just discovered—now that he has
gained all that he can ever expect to gain—that there is
not the slightest necessity for any popular movement ; that
in fact, it is a most unconstitutional proceeding ! Really,
there must be something wonderfully contagious in the at-
iriovhere of tl'o Hoirs'e of Lords, wh'cu it can thus, within

three short years, convert a red-hot Whig into as red-hot a
Tory! However, we need not regret his Lordship's
-apostacy. We can readily spare him, or a dozen such. He
brought no moral influence to our cause, and we arc quite
sure he. will take none away. We cared nothing for him
when he was with us, and we care just as much now that
he is against us. As for his deprecation of the Movement,
we must be fools indeed to lay the slightest stress on it ;
for what does his Lordship mean by it, but to insist that
the injured have no right to complain—the slave.no right
to endeavour to liberate himself !

The hereditary harpies last night stuck their filthy claws
into the Corporation Reform Bill, and tore out some of its
mot vital parts. They have commenced the work of de-
struction in a spirit, and with an effect which leave not the
most distant hope that a single characteristic feature of
this great measure will be preserved. Their Lordships
have proceeded no farther than the ith clause—indeed not
so far, for the sth was postponed—their Lordships, we say,
have discussed the first six clauses, and four of these
have they so mangled, that, were no other alterations to
be made in the Bill, it is already too seriously injured to
be worth the acceptance of the people. The provision
which limited the Municipal privileges of the freemen to
persons now in existence, is gone. These privileges are to
be handed down to ltest posterity in the descendants of
the present possessors, in order, as a sapient Peer remarked,
to impress upon the public mind a due veneration for the
principle of hereditary descent ! GOD help the old fool
—he is beyond the aid of man.
The clause which excluded all freemen but those now
entitled to claim the right from the Parliamentary fran-
chise is also swept away, and a generation of beggars is to
be propagated from the loins of the present race in all time
to come, that there may never be wanting a nest-egg of
corruption for the Tories to hatch.

The boundary clause has shared the fate of its- coinpa-
nions, and the amendment which was rejected by the Com-
mons, by which the boundaries arc to be determined by Act
of Parliament, has been adopted. The necessary effect of
this alteration is to postpone the operation of the Bill for a
year, with respect to all the boroughs, except about twenty.
Such is the treatment which a measure on which the
people of England have set their minds, and which their
representatives have—as far as depended upon them—
passed into a law, has experienced on its introduction into
the second legislative Chamber. Such is the respect
paid to the wishes, the feelings, and the interests of a na-
tion by a few individuals, who, in consequence of their
birth, arrogate to themselves the right of being wiser than
the rest of the world, and exercise a power which is utterly
incompatible with the welfare of the community.

We had intended to notice the debate, but want of
room prevents us. We cannot, however, omit drawing the
attention of our readers to the disingenuous artifices resorted
to by Lord LYNDHURST, who took advantage of Lord
BROUGHAM'S absence to enter into an examination of the
evidence of the town clerks. Who can piace the least
confidence in the' judicial integrity of a man who could
so unblushingly attempt to bolster up the .testimony
of men, who were by their very offices disqualified for
giving evidence in the case,.and,vfho would not have been
admittted as witnesses in a -court of law ? But this
ex-Chancellor labours in his vocation. While he lives,
the Tories will never be at a loss for a tool with which
to do their dirty work with.

It is expected that in the Budget this evening- some re.
duction will be made in the duty on Glass.

The generous and humane inhabitants of London and
its vicinity will learn with feelings of the sincerest pleasure,
that a fete will be given at Vauxhall Gardens on next
Monday evening for the temporary reliefof those brave but
unfortunate champions of liberty the Polish Exiles.
The sympathy with which the British people must
regard the losses, the sufferings, and the sorrows of
these brave but unhappy men, will be enhanced
if a moment's reflection be bestowed on the dignified
silence with which they have endured, them. They
have not stunned the public ear with a clamour about the
extent of their miseries. They have not pained the pub-
lie eye by an obtrusive display of their penury. In their suf-
ferings we see only the destitution of involuntary exiles ; but
in their endurance of these sufferings we trace the firmness
of heroes and the constancy of martyrs. The Poles have
strong claims upon us, of which the least are those which
affect us as fellow-men and as Christians. As a nation
they were our allies ; as a people struggling for inde-
pendence they were our brethren ; and as strangers
and exiles for liberty, we are morally bound, as
Englishmen and freemen, to protect, relieve, and shelter
them. We most earnestly hope that an appeal
made, under such circumstances, to the best and
noblest feelings of our generous-hearted countrymen
will not be regarded with a common interest. With
pleasure do we
.observe shat several of ocr distinguished
countrywomen have come forward to act as Patronesses on
this occasion. Their example will have a powerful influ-
ence over such as might otherwise regard the object of the
fete as in any respect political.

The attention of our readers is earnestly requested to an
advertisement in another part of The Sun, headed " Saint
Ann's Society Schools." This excellent Institution which
is divided into branches, of which one is established in the
City, and the other at Brixton-hill, has been founded for
the purpose of clothing, educating, and providing for such
poor legitimate children as are destitute of all other means
of support, without regard to birth-place, or any of the
many limitations which so frequently tend to neutralize the
general utility of charity schools. We have made enqui-
ries respecting it ; and from all we have been able to learn,
we can state that it merits the most extensive public pa-
tronage.

German and Brussels Papers have been received this
morning. During the sitting of the Belgian Chamber of
Representatives on the 11th inst., an interesting debate
arose on the project of law for regulating the higher
branches of instruction. After several amendments had
been moved and rejected, the Chamber agreed to the fol-
lowing article, which is the first of the proposed measure :
" There shall be two Universities supported by the State,
one at Ghent and the other at Leige. Each University shall
embrace the faculties of philosophy and letters, the mathema-
tical and physical sciences, law, and medicine."
The German Papers bring advices from the East,
which are, however, of no importance. The rebellion
in Albania, and the disaffection in Greece, appear
to gain strength every day. The SULTAN is making
preparations for putting down the Albanian insurrection
with a strong hand. His HIGHNESS, in the meantime,
will grant a further respite to MEHEMET ALI, against
whom no troops are to be sent till peace is
restored on the frontier. We find no additional
intelligence in these journals respecting the conspiracies
against the Emperor NICHOLAS ; and, what is still more
strange, not a syllable concerning the reported disturbance
in Berlin. The latter turns out to be nothing more than
a street brawl, between a handful of the military and some
hair-brained young men, who affected to despise any re-
straint upon what they considered the right of amusing
themselves after their own fashion. There was not so
much as a word uttered derogatory to the KING or the
Government of Prussia.

VIENNA, AUGUST 4.—Five per Cents., 1024; Four per Cents.
931 ; Bank Shares, 1,324 —Allgenteine Zeitung, Aug. 9.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been
received. - They arc chiefly occupied with observations on
the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, on that
section of the proposed law which enacts that in future the
verdicts of Juries on trials for political offences, shall be
given and received as legal on the agreement of a simple
majority. In the course of the debate, several Ministe-
rialists referred to the number of trials that had taken place
for political offences within the last four years, and com-
plained that in almost every instance the Crown failed in
obtaining a verdict. The Crown is but indiscreetly served
by those Legislators who utter such complaints as this.
The number of arrests that have terminated in acquittals
ought never to be so much as glanced at by the creatures of
Louis PHILIPPE. Such acquittals prove not a want of
discrimination in Jurors ; they rather establish the fact that
the Government, in its Corporate capacity, is actuated by
the littlenesses and caprices of passion—the fears—alarms,
suspicions--which agitate the bosom of an individual tyrant.
No Government ever had a difficulty in obtaining verdicts,
except it was manifest to the people that it aimed at the
destruction of their liberties. The sympathies of mankind
are always with the conservators of public order. They
know that the endurance of the evils arising from a mal-
administration of justice, unless the instances are too glar-
ing, are more tolerable than those which must spring from
an attempt to remedy them by force, and, therefore, they
are inclined to War with them, if possible, without

a murmur. All men are, by nature, averse to
change ; communities are still more so, because
each section dreads the influence of the other ; and be-
cause the act of changing being previously considered the
act of all, it is difficult to find any who will hazard the
consequences of a failure by moving first. Five years have
barely elapsed since Louts PHILIPPE was elevated to the
throne of France ; the idol of the people ; the adored of
the National Guard ; the hope of the Republicans ; and
the stay of the Aristocracy. Whom he would, he raised •
up ; whom he would, he put down. The nation .was in
extacies of joy. France hailed him as her deliverer ; and
to oppose his will, was not regarded merely as an invasion
of the Kingly prerogative, but as a crime against
Liberty. Now his Ministers are not ashamed to in!orm
the Chamber of Deputies, that they cannot obtain a verdict
for the Crown in cases of high treason ; and that to pre-
serve the life of the Sovereign it is absolutely necessary to
change the constitutional law, as regards the verdicts of
French Juries! Such a declaration is an ample com-
mentary on the past brief reign of the citizen Sovereign.
The French Journals bring intelligence from Spain.
The following extract from the Election is dated Bayonne,
7th inst.:—
" Don Carlos with his staff entered Estella on the 2d. On
the sanv, day, in the evening Ituralde arrived there with
seven battalions, seven Navarese, and a company of cavalry.
There was an illuminatiOn and a ball.
" Columns of the enemy's troops marched on the 4th, by
way of Tafalla to Pampeluna."
" On the 4th Don Carlos, at the head 0t,24 battalions, oc-
cupied Estella, Dicastillos, Arroins, Allo, Otcyza, and Mo-
rentin. The greater part of the forces of Cordova was at
Sesma and Lodosa.
"On the 2d, in the evening, the English Consul at
Bayonne went to Estella, where he was received by Don
Carlos. The next day he went with an escort to Pampeluna,
and arrived at Bayonne on the 6th in the evening,„having ful-
filled the mission of his Government.

" The assertion that the funds of the Carlists arc falling off
seems to be confirmed by the loan, of which we have already
spoken, and the news of which is official, as well as by the
double duty imposed on merchandize. It appears that the
resources which 'have hitherto maintained them are exhausted,
and that they have recourse to those of the revolted provinces,
which seem not disinclined to supply them, but they will soon be
tired of doing so.
" The appointment of the Carlist Major-general Villareal to
the chief command of the province of Biscay is spoken of as
certain."

The Messager mentions the discovery of a Carlist plot
at Talava, in the province of Cuenca, for the murder of
the Royal Family at Aranjuez. One of the conspirators
is reported to have actually set out on his journey to the
residence of the QUEEN REGENT, and the INFANT SOVE-
REIGN of Spain, for the purpose of carrying his wicked de-
sign into execution. The secret becoming known to the Cor-
regidor of ALBACETiE, that functionary had the itinerant
conspirator seized, and it is stated that a number of very
important papers were found upon him. We give the
rumour as we find it in the Messager, without pledging
ourselves for its correctness.
