MANCHESTER.

We have just heard that the Reformers of Manchester
view with feelings of alarm and indignation the recent pro-
ceedings in the House of Lords, in reference to the Corpo-
ration Reform Bill, and that they are taking immediate steps
to make their sentiments known on the subject to that branch
of the Legislature. As the Bar-passed the House of Com-
mons without a single division ever taking place on its prin-
ciple, it was generally believed by the Reformers that the
Lords would have had the wisdom to pass it, without any ma-
terial alteration, and their disappointment is therefore now
keenly felt in consequence of the probability that now appears
of their throwing it out.

Monday, a petition to the Lords, emanating from the Hull
Reform Association, and praying their Lordships to pass the
Corporation Reform Bill unimpaired and unmutilated, was
placed for signature in different parts of the town. The num-
ber of signatures obtained in a single day, without any prepa-
ratory appeal to the public, amounts to about 5,000. Is was
deemed advisable to dispatch the petition next morning, else
the list of names might have been quadrupled. If the prayer
of the petitioners be disregarded, we are apprehensive that
they will never again forward an expression of their wishes to
the House of Peers. The petition has been forwarded for pre-
sentation to Lord Melbourne.—Hull Observer.
The apprehension that the Lords in hearing Counsel on
half of the old Corporations were paving the way for throwing
out the Corporation Reform Bill, has produced the greatest
excitement among the people. Should the Peers rashly op-
pose themselves to the public wish, they will incur a terrible
responsibility. It seems incredible that Sir Robert Peel or
the Duke of Wellington will sanction the mad desire of a col-
lision with popular power. We cannot believe that the Lords
will dare to reject the Bill. The peace of Corporate towns
depends upon its being passed in the present Session of Parlia-
ment. Perhaps the permanency of their Lordships' order also
hangs upon the result.
There are at this moment many bitter enemies of that " or-
der," who will rejoice in its members taking a course that
must render them odious to the country. They profess to be
the protectors of our ancient institutions—they will do well to
look that they do not, by blind and precipitated councils, place
those institutions in peril.—Hull Observer.

GREAT MEETING TO PETITION
AGAINST THE DUBLIN RECORDER.

INFAMOUS CONDUCT OF THE ORANGEMEN.
The aggregate meeting of the citizens of Dublin, which
was interrupted on last Monday by the forcible entry and tu-
multuous conduct of a gang of Orangemen, under the leader-
ship of Johnny M'Crea, took place this day, by adjournment,
at the Coburg Gardens.
Shortly after nine o'clock, and long previous to the ap-
pearance of any gentlemen on the platform (which was
erected since Saturday for the accommodation of the speak-
ers,) about two hundred of the Orange faction, most of them
of the very lowest order, armed with bludgeons, and supplied
with missiles of rather an extraordinary character—namely,
balls of .lead, rudely fashioned, each weighing about half a
pound, rushed in a body into the field, despite the efforts of the ,
police to prevent them, and dashed on towards the platform.
They were met, however, by the crowd within, and a furious
conflict ensued, in which many beads were broken on the
side of the incursionists, who were in about ten minutes en-
tirely expelled from the gardens. The Orangemen were headed
by an unfortunate Italian, a teacher of languages, who hap-
pened to be employed in some Tory family in town, and was
pressed into the service under a menace of beiBg deprived of his
situation, if he did not comply. This poor dupe was dread-
fully punished for his temerity, being nearly murdered by
the mob, and the whole party was chased through several
streets down to College-green, The shops, wherever they
passed, were instantly closed, and continued so until evening.
By this time information was conveyed to the authorities, and
in a short time some troops of cavalry, several companies of in-
fantry, with a large force of the mounted police arrived. When
order was restored, and the rioters dispersed in all quarters,
Sir Edward Blakeney, Commander of the garrison, and acting
commander of the forces, was on the field of meeting, and with
several officers of the line, the town mayor and police magis-
trates remained there until the business concluded.
At one o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Callaghan, a
respectable merchant and banker. Several gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, and resolutions were unanimously agreed
to, strongly condemnatory of the language used by the Re-
corder at the Sheriffs' dinner.
The following are the fourth and fifth resolutions. The
fourth says —" That we hold the dissemination of such (pi-
nions (alluding to his speech at Sheriff Carolin's dinner)
by the Recorder, to be wholly at variance with his duty as
a Judge, and that we do therefore feel called upon to present
a petition to Parliament, praying for inquiry into the fact of
the public expression of these and similar sentiments, and
such further measures as may be deemed necessary thereon."
The fifth resolution states, that as the majority of the
householders are liable to serve on juries in the Recorder's
Court, and are also reformers, they feel deeply injured by
the Recorder's attack upon their moral and social character.
It was resolved inter alia, to petition the Legislature on the
subject of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech, and also
to implore Parliament to pass an act rendering Mr. Shaw in-
eligible to become a member as long as he held his present
judicial office, the discharge of its duties being in the opinion
of the meeting incompatible with his attendance in the House
of Commons, where he could not be present without frequent
inconvenience to the citizens, and great delay in the further-
ance of the ends of justice. The meeting then quietly dis.
persed. There could not have been less than 20,000 persons
assembled at one period of the proceedings.

mmeeting, of which I have not been able to ascertain particu-
lars. Great excitement prevailed. The meeting broke up
about half-past three ; but about an hour after, a large crowd
proceeded past the Merchant's-hall, when the Orangemen,
having armed themselves with rusty swords, pikes, &c.,
charged the people, and an alarming skirmish ensued. Mr.
Blacker, the Rev. Mr. M'Crea, and several others, have ad-
dressed the crowd. Several individuals have been wounded,
and some, it is feared, fatally. Great alarm was at one time
entertained for the peace of the city, but from the exertions
of the police, &e., it is expected that order will be shortly re-
stored. The Orangemen have behaved disgracefully.

The Marquis of Douro intends being present at the
grand review of the Russian troops, which takes place in Sep-
tember.
The Duke of Devonshire has abandoned his inten-
tion of visiting the baths of Aix in Provence, in consequence
of the cholera having broken out at that place and at Mar-
seilles. His Grace is now at Paris, on a visit to the Earl and
Countess Granville, whence he returns in time for the com-
mencement of the grouse shooting, on the moors, at Bolton,
in Yorkshire.

The Hon. J. J. B. Ponsonby, son of Lord Dun-
cannon, and member for Derby, will shortly lead to the hyme-
neal altar, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of the
Earl of Durham. The Hon. Member will pair off during the
ensuing week, and immediately after the ceremony return to
his Parliamentary duties.—Morning Paper.
The following requisition is in course of signature
in the Ward of Vintry :-
44 TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMAN, OF THE

WARD OF VINTRY.

" My Lord—We, the ;;(lersigned inhabitants of the Ward
of Vintry, respectfully request that you will call an early
meeting of the inhabitants thereof, to consider the propriety of
petitioning the House of Lords to pass the Municipal Corpo-
ration Reform Bill with the least possible delay, and without
any alteration that would tend to impair its efficiency."
A meeting took place yesterday evening at Batter-
sea-fields, between R. J. Mackintosh, Esq., attended by Major-
General Sir John Campbell, and William Wallace, Esq., at-
tended by Dr. Richard Burke. The word having been given,
Mr. Mackintosh's pistol missed fire, and Mr. Wallace fired
in the air. A second fire took place without effect, and the
parties, after a mutual explanation, shook hands.
The work of Registration is proceeding well and vi-
gilantly for the popular cause. The Committee of the South
Lambeth Reform Association intend to call a public meeting
at the Three Compasses on Thursday next, for the purpose
of giving information to all those who have been omitted in
the Registration Lists how to proceed to secure their rights,
and to furnish them with notices of claims. The Reformers

should recollect that next Sunday, the 9th of August, is the I
last day on which the register will be placed on the church
doors. If they wish to preserve their franchise, let them
examine the Register, and if their names are omitted send
notice to the overseers, on or before the 25th of August.
MONEY MARKET.—The Bank Directors met on
Tuesday, it appears, for the purpose of devising the best
means of preventing any undue pressure on the money market
through the payment of the deposit on the loan. The mode
they have adopted is on the precise model of that in use shortly
after the shutting of the books at the Bank for the payment of
the quarterly dividends, and is, in fact, a mere anticipation, by
one month, of that measure. It is also extended for a few
days beyond the usual period, which is done, it is understood,
with the view of covering and facilitating the second payment
on the loan. The Scrip will not in the first instance, of course,
come within the description of "approved securities," though
it may become so, at the discretion of the Bank, and to a cer-
tain amount, after the next instalment has been paid. Alto-
gether it is expected that the measure now brought forward
will have the effect of relieving the money market to the extent
desired. The following are the terms of the official notice :
" The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby
give notice, that on and after the sth inst. they will be ready to
receive applications for loans upon the deposit of bills of exchange,
Exchequer bills, East India bends, or other approved securities,
such loans to be repaid on or before the 20th of October next, with
interest at the rate of 3/. 10s. per cent. per annum, and to be for
sums of not less than 2,000/.
" Bank of England, August 5."
The general anticipation of this measure on Tuesday, and
its appearance yesterday, have given great firmness to the
funds, and a further advance has taken place, both in Consols
arid in American.—Morning Paper.
