Reform Meeting at the Mansion-House.

(THIS DAY.)

A large meeting of the citizens of London was
held this day at the Mansion-house, when resolu-
tions in favour of the Government measure were
carried unanimously.

The Debate—This Evening.

-40---- _,----

As usual, on the eve of a great debate, the lobbies
of the House of Commons leading to the strangers'
gallery, this morning, presented the usual strange
appearance. At a very early Lour many of thoie
fortunate enough to secure members' orders for ad-
mission were in attendance, and of course occupied
the benches placed there for their accommodation.
The order of admission is by rotation as persons
arrive, so those who secure a sitting can with
certainty calculate upon a seat in the gal-
lery providing they are within about 150
of the door. To secure places many gentlemen
engage " sitters," persons who occupy the seat from
an early hour in the morning until a quarter before
four, when they surrender the place to those who
have paid them for sitting there four or five hours,
and thus persons engaging secures his chance. The
Strangers Gallery of the house will not accommo-
date beyond 150 to 200, yet the attendance was far
above that number to-day ; but although this fact
is well known many chose to remain until late at
night rather than give up too early. The off chance
of admission after the gallery has once been opened
is very slender, and many after taking their dinner,
with which they must have provided themselves pre-
vious to " taking their seats," have to return tired,
exhausted, and disappointed.

some grievous bodily harm.
The facts of this case have already been fully reported
in 7h3 Sus. It Ns ill be rccoliected that the prosecutia and
her fiends had been on teams of ftiendship with the pri-
soner, but d'fferences arose, and showily after some vely
offensive bit's were posted on tho door of the house in
which she and her husband resided :-1 New Oxford-
street. Suspecting li=nt to be the person; she went
to him to complain of the act, which ho strongly denied.
Some time afterwardc —listween 9 and 10 in the evening—
the prosecutiix was in Museum-street, for the pu- pose of
making some domestic purchases, when she saw the ix:-
soner, who crossed the road to where she was standing,
and dashed a quantity of burring liquid into her face, by
which she had lost one of her eyes, and sustained other
serious injnries. The prisoner, on being taken into cus-
tody, denied being the person who committed the savage
outrage outrage, but at his house a cloth cape was found,
upon which were the stains and burns of sulphuric acid,
and certain other matters transpired, which Mr. Vaughan,
then magistrate of Bow-street thought quite sufficient to
commit the prisoner for trial.
