EVENING STAR.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 8.

Our Foreign Intelligence of this day possesses
not less interest than its great variety of impor-
tance on Saturday.
We have arrivals from all parts of Europe.
From Petersburg of the 30th ultimo, by which
it appears that NICHOLAS M still alive, and that
the cholera, having arrived at its crisis in eleven or
twelve days, had begun to abate in the city, but
raged with fatal virulence at Cronstadt, and in the
whole neighbourhood.
From POLAND we have THREE official die.
roclien of SKREYNECKI, relative to his opera-
tions to clear the south-east of the Vistula, even
to the Bug, of the Russians ; and the several ac-
tions were uniformly favourable to the Poles. With
regard to PASKEWITSCH, he preserves a politic si-
lence, with a view to conceal his own plans of de-
fence and offence ; and in the meantime the reserve
of the Berlin papers portends that, cut off from all
communications, and having no magazines, the
Russian army on the left of the Vistula is in no very
promising position. To guard against contingencies,
the Warsovians are improving their works of defence.
&ERTEN ECM'S opinion of PaturzwitTscn's plan
iR proved by his whole attention being directed to
the opposite side of Warsaw.
Arrivals from HOLLAND and BELGIUM put as in
full possession of all events in both, down to Sunday
morning. The RING of HOLLAND and his subjects
appear to regard their cause as worthy of the favour
of Heaven; and hence prayers, &c. are combined
with the marching of troops, and the loyal
declarations of the towns, and their H. M.
the States-General. The Journals possess
all the features of war, containing military
hspaches, &c. The military ardour of the Orange
family has carried the Prince in advance into the
Belgic territory. BELGIUM is all alive to its own
critical position, taken as it has been by surprise,
even amid rejoicing and festivity on the arrival and
instillation of its amiable new Sovereign.

From France we bear no more of the new 51i-
Listry. The old ones desire to try their strength
cn the address to day ; and in the mean time, their
;!'ow of spirit, though without a French object,
!:as invigorated the self-love of the people.—
"f
`'"S hope that a movement will not begin,l
ithout something being gained to liberty in the
progress or the ending. Above all, an advance
into Belgium is an advance in the direction of
Poland !

It is, however, not a little curious to observe,
that the French editors are speculating on the ad-
vantage which may result from the occupation of
; while the Belgians express apprehensions
of their allies, and desire to have the Dutch beaten,
without the dangerous necessity of admitting the
French. If we are to believe some of the Paris papers,
'he Iloly Alliance does not consider itself pledged
support I..r.oroLD, only with the concurrence of
fteir ally the King of HOLLAND ! If this be their
agnistry then, on this Belgic Question, there will
`^ a general war—Holland and the Holy Alliance,
iqTainst Belgium, France, and England !
The LISBON MAIL merely confirms what we
knew before—that Alto ut.t.'s meanness is equal
t 5 his tyranny.

But it is a very extraordinary incident, and one
hich adds to Dutch perplexities, that having
prri=oned his Eastern Colonies with Belgic troops,
ti:ose at JAVA have declared for Belgium against
tie KING of HOLLAND, and taken BATAVIA,
Itith a view to the incorporation of that great and
rili!al)le Island and its dependencies, with the
ls''l;l^ States ! This produces complex relations,
it will he most difficult to unravel.

_....___
Tl.,te are nine Sche___ dules to the Reform Bill

and four of the most important and complicated'
hare been disposed of, viz.—
A.—The nomination Rotten Borongbs, wholly
disfranchised.

B.—Tbe greater Boroughs reduced from two
Members to one.

C.—The places enfranchised, by granting two
Members.

D.—The places enfranchised, by granting or
Member.

The Schedules yet to be passed ora—
-1 P, which contains a list of 11 places, with which
41 smaller places are to be combined, for the joint
choice of one Member for the places so united.
G, is a list of 19 cities and towns which are
counties in themselves, as London, Norwich, Not-
tingham, Bristol, &c. the proprietors of lands and
tenements in which are to vote for the adjacent
counties.

H, is a list of 25 of the most populous conntiesl,
which are to return four Members for each, or two I
from each division which is to be made of the
counties.

1, is a list of eight counties, which are to return
three Members for each.
These Schedules extend over 21 clauses of the
Bill, which altogether consists of 52 clauses. The
twenty-fourth fixed the £lO franchise, and the set-
tlement of this clause deeply affects the whole
measure, and the rights of the people. We should
be better pleased if it included ALL householders
who had occupied any rated premises for a year
previously, and this would be a middle course be-
tween the claims of the Aristocracy and the De-
mocracy; but if limited to TIN POUND houses, be
it observed, that in the last amended and original
Bill there was not one word about the period of
payment—an impertinent and illiberal provision,
which ought to be rejected by all parliamentary
supporters of the Bill ; and if attempted to be
passed, ought to be opposed by the whole nation.
The original clause on this subject was in the fol-
lowing words :

24. "And be it enacted, that In all election of members to
serve in any future parliament for cities and boroughs, every
male person of full age, and not subject to any legal incapa-
city, who shall have occupied, 'as owner or tenant, for
six calendar months next previous to the day of
in the present year, or next previous to
last day of August in any succeeding year, within any such
city or borough, any house assessed to the duty on inhabited
houses upon a yearly value of not less than ten pounds, or
soy house, warehouse, or counting-house of the clear yearly
value of not less than ten pounds, or bona fide subject to a
yearly rent of not less than ten pounds, or which shall have
been for the same time rated to the relief of the poor upon a
yearly value of not less than ten pounds, and in respect of
which house, warehouse, or counting-house respectively all
the rents, rates, and taxes then due shall have been paid,
shall, if duly registered according to the provisions hereinafter
contained, have a right to vote for such city or borough;
and that no persons other than such occupiers as aforesaid
shall have aright to vote at any such election."

If this clause require any alteration, it is in the
words that rents, rates and lazes then due shall
have been paid, for a political right ought not to
depend on any question of pecuniary account ; and
if made dependant on any contingency of that kind,

it will often be baffled by circumstances and con-
trivances not within the power of the parties. A
disputed account either with landlord or collector
must be unjustly foreclosed, or the right of voting
be lost ; a landlord may get out of the way so as to
evade receiving, or an assessor may raise ques-
tions, or a vestry declare rates to be disputed,
or the usage of an estate may have quar-
terly or half-yearly arrears, and yet all ques-
tions, of which scores may be stated, and all
convenient usages or concessions are thus to be
compromised, by a law altogether foreign to such
points, and which ought in no way to be allowed
to mix with them. But if the right were to de-
pend on this most impertinent condition, it would be
a direct and constant incentive to bribery. Voters
would be made by paying arrears, and the longest
purse would always carry the election everywhere.
Before an election, arrears would be systematically
left for the purpose of being paid up by candi-
dates or some agent, and corruption would be
kindness through bribery in one, and dire neces-
sity or craft in the other. The vote ought there-
fore to have no connection whatever with money,
but should be a right vested in every £lO or other
householder, who for the previous six months had
been legally liable for the rent, or rated in the
Parish or Collecting Books.
The table of the Bill in working or in operation
will almost entirely depend on the wording of this
clause. Nothing is more easythan to give the abstract
right to £lO householders ; but if any other con-
ditions are introduced and persisted in, the object
must have a base purpose of some kind, adding of
course nothing to the right, but affording a loop-
hole for premeditated abuse, trick, contrivance,
and corruption.

lock, arrived, with mall and passengers from Calais. It

sage to the Continent has certainly of late increased.

gees to blame. Lieutenant Symonds, indeed, comes out of
the ordeal with distinguished honour.
Rear-Admiral F. Warren has bun appointed to the corn.
mud of the Cape of Good Hope station, which is to include

state, six or seven assassinations taking place la the town of
Rio daily. Admiral Sir Thomas Baker, the Commander.
In-Chief on the station, had been ordered to the Cape of
Good Hope on particular service, but had consented, after
repeated petitions from the British merchants, to remain at

We ardently wish we could describe any im-
provement in trade, or productive. labour ; but,
alas! the streets, the parks, and all the haunts of
the unemployed, demonstrate the cruelty of the
large farm monopolies, and the folly of narrowing
the currency, while the national debt continues.
There are those who propose relief by transporting
the producers to the woods and deserts of diataut
Iclime. ; but there are many who think that the
no's-producers could be best spared. If there are
too many people in a country, who but a madman
would think of sending any away but those who
only consume, or who are unable by labour to add
to the public stock of necessaries or conveniences?
We say correct the vices of that system, and then
the more the better. If a town were about
to undergo a seige, would the governor send away
the able-bodied soldiers, or the loungers ? If a ship
at sea were in a state of starvation, would the cap-
tain throw overboard the able-bodied seamen, while
the passengers had chests of private stores ; and
would he not, if a wise man, propose a better dis-
tribution ? In regard to this nation, if the number
of farm houses were doubled, or only those rebuilt,
which in half a century have been destroyed, we
should bear no more of over-population, while none
would suffer by the change. If we are to pay the
interest of the debt, our currency ought to keep
even*.pace with taxes, so as to facilitate transac-
tions, and augment the profits of industry.
