TIIE LIFE AND PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE
OF GARRICK.—The name of Garrick is as intimately blended
with the British Drama as the name of Shakspeare ; and no
man ever gave himself more, or more of to his
above
,
than did Garrick give himself to the Stage. In the
Work we have not merely Garrick, but his contemporaries,
and most pleasantly are they illustrated by their own pens,
themselves perhaps as unconscious as the pens with which
they wrote, that they were thus exhibiting themselves to the
keen eye of the moral anatomist. It contains nearly 3
tioo
,0
Letters from the most illustrious per of Garrick's me,
including all who were conspicuous either fo k, genius,
r rane
or talent, printed from the originals, lately in the possssion
of his widow.--(We cordially recommend to our readers the
New Edition of this important Work, which, by the bye, is
published at less than one-half the price of the first.]
Fi It E.—During the night of Friday last, a stack of
corn mills, called the Lower Mills, at Strensham, between
Tewkesbury and Pershore, were destroyed by fire. No part
of the property was insured. At least one thousand sacks of
corn and flour were wholly destroyed, and about eight hundred
sacks materially damaged ; but the princii?al wheels, and
much of the valuable machinery of the mills, being of cast iron,
have only been partially injured. It is astonishing to see the
effect the fire has produced upon the wheat, some of which has
run tooether into solid masses, generally about the size of a
man's 'fist, and resembles charcoal when broken. The fire
was occasioned by friction in some of the works in a newly-
invented smut machine.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1835.

We cannot too often impress on the Reformers the
necessity of paying immediate attention to the Regis-
tration. The twentieth of July is close at hand, and
after that day no claim can be received by the Over-
seers. Let those, then, that wish well to Reform,
prove their sincerity, by qualifying themselves to act ;as
electors, without an instant's loss of time. There is
no knowing how soon they may he called on to give
their aid in diminishing the three hundred Conserva-
tives who now prattle about " public rights," &c. in
the House of Commons. It is far from impossible,
that a dissolution may take place within six weeks
from the present time ; and how bitter—how lasting—
would be the regret of the Reformers, were the Con-
servative party, through their gross dereliction of duty,
to be returned in greater numerical force than before, to
Parliament 1 Now, if ever, is the time to stir.
A few days hence, and it will be too late.
We are the more solicitous to impress this fact
on the minds of our brother Reformers, because we
see that attempts are making, on the part of the Con-
servative journals, to throw them off their guard, by
pretending that their enemies are showing inexcusable
apathy, as respects the Registration. Now we can
assure our brother Reformers that nothing of the sort
is the case. The Conservatives are far too shrewd—
far too sensible of the peculiar difficulties of their po-
sition, to evince indifference, at a period when nothing
but the most herculean energies can save them from
ruin. They are stirring in gil directions, though they
make no parade of their exertions, for the reason we
have just described. Let the Reform"rs but imitate
the Conservatives in their zeal to register themselves,
and procure the Registration of others, and we s;. all
have no fear of the effects of a dissolution.

The Corporation Reform Bill got through the Com-
mittee last night. The Chairman brought up the Re-
port, and the Bill, after having been re-committed pro
for, was ordered to be printed as amended, and to
be taken into further consideration on Tuesday next,
when it will be read a third time and passed.
The only subjects of discussion last night were the
Schedules, in which are inserted the names of the bo-
roughs to be subjected to the operation of the Act,
surd the number of Councillors allotted to each.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed that the borough
d Malmesbury should be struck out altogether, as its
population was chiefly agricultural, and there existed
in it, un-der a local Act, certain peculiar rights of in-
heritance NOth which he thought it, under all cir-

cumstances, net desirable to interfere. It will, there-
fore, be classed with the other Boroughs, which yet re-
main to be the subjects of legislation.
In the Schedules, as they stood originally, the number
of Councillors was fixed. This arrangement the Goven-
ment has, we think with great propriety, altered, merely
fixing the limits above and below which the number of
Councillors in any given borough shall neither rise nor
fall, it being left to the Privy Council to determine the
exact number, according to the circumstances of each
particular place. In the boroughs of the first class the
number ranges between 72 and 90, in those of the
lowest between nine and twelve.

The discussion, embracing only matters of numeri-
cal detail, would have been as dull and dry as such
discussions generally are, had not Mr. SCARLETT for-
tunately taken it into his head that his genius could
impart an interest even to a topic so unexciting as the
number of a town-council. The Hon. Member certainly
succeeded in exciting the laughter of the House :—at
whose expense it is needless for us to say. Mr. SCAR-
LETT expressed in the most pathetic strain imaginable
his fears, that the great number of Councillors al-
lotted to some of the Corporate towns would
speedily prove the destruction of the British
Constitution, and enforced his views by a very
powerful argument, borrowed, we believe, from a
gentleman of the name of Twiss. This argument
was no other than that the class of the commu-
nity—or, as he styles them, the lower classes—
who will, under the Bill, have the choice of the
Councillors, are distinguished for their disloyalty
and want of attachment to the Constitution I To
prevent, therefore, the evil effects of this atrocious
spirit in the electors, he moved that all boroughs
having more than thirty Councillors shall be ex-
empted from the operation of the Bill. On turning
to schedule A, we find the lowest number assigned to
the immaculate Corporation of Norwich is forty-
eight ! ! The Hon. Member was prevented, by
shouts of laughter, from pressing his motion to a
division.

The zeal, industry, and ability, with which the Ho-
nourable Member for Greenock has applied himself,
since his first entrance into the House of Commons,
to the exposure and correction of all abuses con-
nected with the Post-office department, justly claim
for him the respect and confidence of the coun-
try. He has laboured incessantly in the pro-
motion of this one object, being well aware that,
to produce any good effect, it was absolutely ne
cessary for him not to suffer his attention to be with-
drawn from it, even for an instant. There is no use in
merely pointing out abuses, and then leaving them either
to correct themselves, or to be employed as thorns to thrust
into the side of the Government. The way is, not to quit
them until they are root and branch abolished. There
no sluggishness equal to that engendered by a cor-
rupt system. The abettors of it will not move an
inch, unless they are driven forward by a force which
zhev find it impossible to resist. It is of no avail to
!au'lll at them, or abuse them, or expose what
shameful about them. They are only to be cured by
the process with which tyrants, in days of yore, were
wont to effect insanity, viz.—they must never be
allowed to sleep. Mr. -WALLACE appears to us
to he guile sensible of this, and hence he very
proptal; r. ,fuses to allow the Post-offie:, authorities
any time for the indulgence of oblivious slumbers.
It is with pleasure we announce that the Govern-
ment met the motion made by Mr. WALLACE in
the House of Commons last night, for the ap-
pointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the
aria:rs of the Post Office, in a spirit of great fairness
and impartiality. There was not the slightest effort
made, on the part of any Member of the Cabinet to gloss
over the abuses of the Post-office, or to throw any ob-
3tacie in the way of their removal. All that was sought
was, that the Hon. Gentleman would not press the ap-
pointment of a Committee before the Commissioners ap-
pointed to investigate the conduct of the Post-office had
made their Report, as otherwise the one body of in-
quisitors would neutralize the efficiency and the power
of the other. This request, and the pledge given by
the Government that no effort should be left untried to
purify the Post-office department, appeared so satisfac-
tory to the House and to the Hon. Member for Greenock,
that he withdrew his motion—thus proving that his
object was to do his duty to the country, not use-
lessly to harrass and embarrass the Ministry. The debate
of last night, however, will serve to convince the Post-
Office Authorities, that Parliament is really in earnest
in its desire to root out all abuses in this branch of
the public service.
As the Hon. Gentleman, in the delivery of his
speech, referred to a great number of public documents,
and read extracts from others, confirming the important
statements which lie made, we would suggest to him
the propriety of haying it printed in the form of
a pamphlet, and so distributed throughout the country:
We are confident that it would be productive of great
benefit in the course of the pending inquiry.

Brussels and German papers of the latest dates
have been received. BADEN has at last agreed to
join the German Commercial Union. The debate
in the Chamber of Deputies on this question occupied
three entire sittings, and was finally carried by a re-
spectable majority.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA has charged his Uncle,
the Archduke JOHN, with instructions to enter a pro-
test, in the name of his Imperial Majesty, against the
permanency of the camp at Kalicsh, and the mainte-
nance of so numerous a Russian army in Poland.
There is every reason to believe that the Holy Alliance
confederacy is on the eve of dissolution.

The Brussels Independent gives the following statement :
" We have further information, the authentity of which cannot
be questioned, relative to the troubles at Amsterdam.
" A popular tumult took place at Amsterdam on the night
of the 4th, and continued the whole night.
" Two houses were burnt after being plundered, and every
thing in the Hotel of the Receiver-General of the City broken
to pieces or plundered. The armed Schuttery were on the
spot, but refused to obey the orders of the Officer to put down
the rioters. 300 Curassiers were brought up to prevent an at-
tack on the Hotel of the Treasurer of the Government in the
City, but the same Sehuttery, threatening to fire on whosoever
should advance, crossed their bayonets at the gate of the Hotel
to prevent them from entering the Court-yard • every thing in
the Hotel was broken and plundered ; the coffers were carried
off, and the contents distributed among the people ; and it was
not till towards the morning, that by distributing money and
making fair promises to the people the authorities succeededin
appeasing the tumult."
A Circular of the Minister of War announces that strangers
in Belgium are liable to serve in the Militia, and the Civic
Guard in the same manner as natives, unless hey have been
deprived of their civil rights.

_Brussels Papers, July 9.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
Wednesday. Their contents are not important. The
Indicateur gives the following account of the entrance
of the QUEEN'S troops into Bilboa :
" As our letters yesterday gave reason to expect,
General LAHERA entered the besieged city on the Ist
of July, at the head of 20,000 men of the National
Army. There was no engagement, the Carlists having
retired in haste into the mountains. Don CARLOS is

gone to Onate.
