The `reform bill hai been reprinted, sot only
with the amendments that have received the sanc-
tion of the committee, but containing those which
the ministers intend to propose. The following
are the 16th and the 21st clauses in the re-'
printed bill :

liament or otherwise, the landlord shall be liable to the pay.
meet of the rates for the relief of the poor in respect of such

acquire the same right of voting, as if his landlord had not

rated u aforesaid, shall be of an amount which, when divided
by the number of such occupiers, shall give a sum of not
less than 101. for each and every such occupier, but not
otherwise."

The Game Laws Bill (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer's), as amended, is reprinted. The pre
amble enemerates the titles of 28 Acts passed on
this fruitful subject of legislation. The first is that
of 13 Richard 11. and it relates " to such persons
as shall not have or keep any greyhound, hound,
or other dpg, to hunt, and shall not use fryets,
keys, hare pipes, cords, or other engines to take
or destroy hares, conies, or other gentlemen's game."
A dispute between Gen. Lamarque and M. Se-1
bastiani, which began in the Chamber of Deputies
and was settled in the Bois de Boulogne, seems to
have been a very foolish affair. The General, in
haranguing the Chamber against the Austrians,
the English, the Russians, the Prussians, King
Leopold, the Holy Alliance, the London Con-
ference, called M. Sebastiani the French Lebeou.
Some kind friends thought that the two old Gene-
rals were obliged to go out with swords, pistol.,
and seconds, to gossip in the wood of Boulogne,
for an hour or two, about their ch. ice of wea-
pons, and then to return to the Chamber without
using any weapon but—their tongues!
