perquisites by persons whose services are, in those
days of metropolitan economy, abandoned as alto-
gether unnecessary.
A laughable story has been revived in tho Ci!y
within the last few days, relative to a former coro-
nation. On the occasion we allude to, the corona-
tion of the mon'rch was fixed for a certain day.
The coronation cup was under the hand+ of the
king's jeweller, and the Lord Mayor, who intended
to cut a great dash amongst his fellow-citizens,
slyly went to the person who was finishing off
the article, and told him to make it 301. richer
and more beautiful than his instructions amounted
to. This innocent piece of imposition was accord-
ingly carried into effect, and his Lordship paid down
his 301. and rejoiced in the superior importance
which the value of the perquisite would confer upon
him. By some circumstance the day of Coronation
was not only postponed, but actually appointed to
take place in another Mayoralty, and the gold cup,
with its 301. worth of soperiority, fell into the
hands of a more fortunate Chief Magistrate and
butler. It is recorded, that when the Lord Mayor
was receiving the cup from his Majesty there was
a general titter amongst those who snspected the
disappointment -a general titter in which all the
Aldermen, with one exception, joined.
SPIRIT OF Tits DAY'S JOURNALS.

CORBETT'S REGISTER.—Use or Slacuirteay.--
When the reader has gone through the following letter, he
will please to be so good as to attend to my answer to it.
" No. 53, Gray's Inn Lane, Aug. 23, 183.
" Stw—Some time ago a deputation from the Committee I
of Pressmen, then sitting at the Gentleman and Porter,
New-street Square, waited upon you for the purpose of im.
pressing upon your mind the necessity of your withdrawing
your works from the machines of Messrs. Jaen' and Mills,
in Bolt-court, Fleet-street, the more particularly as it has
always been understood that you were the friend awl advo-
cate of the working classes of society, and it being con-
sidered strange that the very works which reprobated the
use of machinery, and thereby reduce manual labour, ahoeld
themselves emanate from such machines, when you was un-
derstood to say, and which opinion was backed by a pars-
I graph which appeared in your Register, the precise date
I cannot set forth, in consequence of having mislaid
the paper upon which such extract was copied, " that
you Jell very much for the poor printers," and
would endeavour to do something for them us soon us you
shout! conveniently have an opportunity. Now, if I may
be permitted to suggest a remedy, I say, on behalf of my.
self, who is at this 'time suffering in common with my
fellow-workmen, withdraw your works from the machines,
which will be the flies'ss of employing, at least, six or eight
men, who are at this time walking the street. without the
coatroom necessaries of life, which will be of more sub-
stantial benefit to them than if you had devoted the whole
of the columns of your Register, since such interview,
without such whhdrawal of your works front the machines,
and which will. He least, have the appearn.we of coatis.
terscy, you hcing styled I'm friend of the workis c aseet.—
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
t'llAS. WHITBY PARKER.
ANSWER.
Ma. PARKER,
In the first place, i never promised you that would do
any-thing to assist you ; because did not know that I
should have the power. I was sorry, and I am sorry, for
your sufferings ; but since you talk to me in a reproachful
style ; since you treat with sarcasm my being styled the
friend of the working people, merely because I do not di*.
cbazge my printers and employ others, let me put a quest
tion or two to you. Why do you wear cloth which you
well know is made principally by machinery ? Why do
you eat bread which you know proceeds from wheat
thrashed out in great part by machinery ? Why do you
eat bacon and butter brought from Ireland by machinery ?
If the weavers of the North, or the chopsticks of the
South, were to come and rrprasch you with inconsistencyhypoc;isy for wearirg such clothing, and eating such bread,
I much question but you would be disposed to treat them
in a much more rude and contemptuous manner than I treat
you ; and yet they would have gmunds to proceed upon far
better than those which you have; for the chop-sticks could
thrash all the wheat out with :he (NI in gond and proper
time; and though the weavers may not be able (and I sup-
pose they would not) to weave all the clothing that i.
wanted, it is, at least, possible that the thing might be done
by hand : ;Idle it is notoriously impossible fur newspsp.n.
and many other things, to be printed in due time without the
use of machinery. Payßeyister, for instance, must go to press
manyhoun earlier than it does even if so large a sheet could be
printed by hand, and this would be an injury to me of perhaps
from five hundred to • thousand pounds a year ; and Mr.
Parker, I beg you to bear in mind that I am not the in.
vector of machinery; that I have not sought It out; for
that my Register has, almost ever since I came from
America the last time, been printed at the same office,
though one printer has succeeded another. I have
troubled myself no mare about the- instruments made
use of in printing, than you have troubled yourself
about the instruments made use of in producing
the clothing that you wear, and the bread that
you eat. I beg you, Mr. Parker, to remember
these things ; and to remember also that I work for my
bread as well as you work for yours. And if you do bear
these things in mind, you will do me the justice to allow,
that I might have been perfectly sincere in the sorrow that
I expressed for your sufferings; and I hope that if you have
occasion to address me again, you will not think it prop r
to deal in sarcasm and reproach. In consequence of your
visit to me, I sent for my printer, whose machine T rever
saw, never having seer a printing-machine in my life ;
I very earnestly endeavoured to ascertain whether any thing
could he done io the way that you pointed out for your re-
lief. I found that nothing could be done as long as the
present expeditious mode of priding con•inued, unless
hand-printers could work at a rate a: which they cannot
work and earn • sufficiency of wages to keep their fa:nilits.
It is not for me to presume to offer advice to you ; but since
you have thought proper to inform me that you are, in the
midst of harvest, walking the streets, without the common
necessaries of life, I will just tell you how I lire. i rise at
four o'clock in the morning, work at one thing or another
till eight o'clock at nigh'. and then go to bed, having eaten,
during the day, not more than half a pound of nicer, and
Itslfa . and having drunk nothing but skim
poTuhneteofibarenadd
to be the common necessaries of life ;
they are hard fare, you will say ; but this fare, with con.
hunt labour, is better than walking the streets. It is not,
mind, what a working man ought to have; he ought to have
meat twice a day, and plenty of good beer; and I never
shall rest satisfied till all Ltlitstrious woo kiii,;•nien have
them ; but still, even my hard fare, and my industrious
life, is better than walking the streets; and even walking the
streets is better than living in laziness on the labour of others.
I repeat, with great sincerity, my sorrow fur your diattessing
situation.

able electors, said complained of gross partiality on the part
of the High Sheriffs and their agents ; and lf the facts
stated in the petition were true, and from the respectability
of the signatures he could not doubt their truth, the par-
tiality was gross indeed. The high Sheriff. sold their agents
had so obstructed the polling of the freeholders that whereas
300 freeholders on the average were polled in each booth
each day on the late election, no mote than :t7 a day were
polled at the present, though the hoo.ba were constantly
crowded with freeholders anxious to vote for the Reform
candidat:a

Mr. WYNN said, the hon. and learned gentleman was
stating facts which might be brooglit before the house by an
election petition, and could only be brought before it in that
way.
The SPEAKER said he was waitirg to hear the prayer
of the petition. as it certainly appeared :torn what was stated,
that the petition contained facts "disc i could only be enter-
tained by an eh ction committee.
Mr. CRA NIPT.thl said the petition complained of the
conduct of the High Shiriffs and their agents, and prayed
that the Reform Bill before the house might provide a re-
medy for such abuse.
Mr. HUME submitted that the alleution of the miscon-
duct of the Sheriffs and their agents was only stated as a
foundation for praying for a measure of general legislation ;
and therefore that it ought to be received.
Thc SPEAKER said it could only be consideted an
election pet it ion
Mr. CRAMPTON, after what the Speaker had said,
withdrew the petition.
Mr. LA M BERT presented a petition from the Prote•
tants of New Rosa, in the county of Wexford, praying thot
the yeomanry of the county might be disbanded, u it con-
sisted, at present,exclusiyely of the lowest and most bigntted
Protestants ; and a similar petition from the Catholics of the
same town. He had made the .most deliberate inquiry into
the unfortunate affair that lately took place at Newtownbarry,
and the deliberate opinion be was compelled to come to was,
that it was an unprovoked, and he had too much reason to
believe, a premeditated .massacres he used the words with
full consideration of their import. He wished to mention,
with respect to a memorial presented to the Government,
signed by a number of Irish members, respecting the evils
of Ireland, and recommending disbanding the yeomanry,
that ft sou by no means an act of hostility to the Govern•
ment ; on the contrary, Lord Duncannon, a member of the
Government, was the person appointed to present it. Nei-
ther did it originate with the honourable member foe Kerry,
for he was the person who brought it to that hon. member
for his signature. Of that honourable gentleman he should
only say, that having frequently differed with him, he still,
in common with all the friends of Ireland, felt the deepest
gratitude for his services, and was confident they would fur
ever regard him u the best friend of Ireland ; and great as
his services had been, he hoped he would yet render her
still greater. (Loud cheering )
Alr. MAXWELL said, he had a document signed by
forty magistrates of the county of Wexford. declaring these
the yeomanry force was necessary to preserve the peace of
the country.
Mr. O'CONNELL said, the honourable 'gentleman's
document though signed by noblemen and gentlemen, a..
serted a falsehood. He defied the honourable gentleman no
prove that there was the slightest breach of the peace before
the massacre at Newtownbarry. The Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland had declared that the calling out the yeomanry at
Newtownbarry was unnecessary. It was time for the Go.
vernment to exert iiself ; they must see that they were h..
:rayed by tee party they cheriai ed. It was time to goy rn
Ireland for the people---not for the party—talentlees, taste-
less, wretched drivellirs, both in that house and elsewhere.
(Hear, hear.) The t,overnment al'enated the people, aid
threw themselves into the amid of a faction who hated them
even worse than thel bated the people nt Ireland. .(Hear.)

able gentleman would abstain hum the use of strong lan.

and Queen of England ? We neier in the course of our
lives, if the statement be true, heard of such an instasce
of disgusting insolence and impropri y. 1
TI `I ES.—There is never unhappily, an allusion made in
Parliament to the state of Irelastl. nit a question raised , l ....
upon any Irish subject, from which 'az:limners do not ari4 ~ y
and by which feelings are not exited. of a nature u ar r - r 1
vate every evil which we must suppose it to he the ptt p .0
of all members of the House of Commons to repress. A .1
discussion took place last night upon* a petition respecting t .
the dreadful affair of Newtnwnharry, of which little more 1
can be said. than that the spirit of animosi y ra:zir; • t.
Ireland. and constitutirg, no doubt, the immediate Cr,. • ••• ) l'
strife between the criminal party and the suffcrers on t a• I
occasion is far more likely to be inflamed by some of tho
speecba.s, than aillyed by any of avert. To dcstgnar, Ir:;
11 two—viz. those delivered by Mews D swoon and 0 Connal
—if there he no accession to Orange insolence on o.se side, 1 r
and on the other to peasant vengeance, from the laudable !• i 1
tendency of the expressions used by these two champions, A , •
to whet the rancour of their respec.ive partisans, we shill f I
say that Ireland has this time had a lucky escape. It would
manifestly be wrong to prejude the question either of the I' tI
11l li
yeomanry or of Lord Angie-egg's Government, until wc ace t
what Elms shall be taken by the latter, when the legal pro.
ceedings relarive to Newtonbarry, are at end.
HEKALD—The Dublin Election has tmninated in 1
.t 1
the resignation of the Reform Candidat a. Though we I
cannot say that we foresaw this result, we are not surprised
at it. The character of the Dublin Corporation was not
unknown to us; and as for the Castle underlings, who hay.,
been allowed to acquire a sort of vested right to their plac.s
1 . • and emoluments, we are aware that their sympathies were r
all' for, and not against, the system under which they
have been enabled to live upon the public whom they
abuse. One would think, from the triumph of the anti-re- ' I ail
form press, that the fate of the measure ass already tie. / ill:
Bided by the good citizens of Dublin, or, r.thcr, by that paw. ' i '

sides that, there is to be a petition against the return of Lord I
Ingestrie and the Recorder, the general impression which, 4
accordipg to but Correspondent, has been made upon the il

citizens by the course which the election has taken, would
j t
seem to indicate any thing rather than a change of sentiment ..1
even In Dublin itself. But su,•posing the wors• to happen— 1
that is, the choice of the anti-reformers to be confirmed, it ! •
is not improbable that their Representatives will arrive just •
in time to be in at the death of corruption. What a sight
for men of their constitutional propensities, to see the old
lady at her last gasp, without being able to add one moment
to her life, if it was only that she might bequeath a blessing
to the Corporation who sent them to look at her. If we 111'i
should have another case of bribery established in this new
election, what a charming comment it will afford upon the
state of representation, which it is the great object of the .

anthreformers to perpetuate by all sorts of practices and 1!

.o..my would unite with the hon. member for Kerry to de- 1
:it col a repei.l of the Union ; and scenes would take place
...hid' no man could contemplate without horror and
eivnsy.
air. GIL ITTAN said, if the right hon. gentleman
e,tant to vtr.hute to him that he was a member of a cabal,
I e mu,e ..av it went fake.
The SPEAKER said, he was confident the hon. gent.
rot ”reap ro u.c offensive language, but the expression
uas onratliamentary.
tar. OR .TTAN said, he did not mean to use unpatlia-
o er.tary language, but contradict the imputation of being a
•wottrtv or a cabal. The step he and other members from
Ireland took, in I.:commending to Government to dimini-h
t to.inry force, was for the purpose of promoting the
place of Ireland, and preventing discussions in that house,
whi: h they were told tine calculated to inflame the people
of Inland. His feeling was, that the yeomanry was not a
force calculated for Ireland, and he would prefer a regular
military force.
Capt. GORDON Minded the yeomanry of Ireland.
!Sir. JEr HSON said, the speech of the right hon. mem.
tier for Harwich ( Mr. G. Dawson), who said, if the yeo.
marry of Ireland were disarmed, the Protestants of Ireland
nould arm themselvs against the Government, was most
extraordinary. He was proud of having been one of those
who signed the document Teamed to the prime minister.
SH iEL thought the speech of the late Secretary for
the Treasury (.Ir. G. Dawson) was the most extraordinary
ever made in the house. The evidence of English officers of 1
the highest rank, who had served in Ireland, proved that
Catholics were excluded from yeomenry corps, which caused
a feeling of great irritation, and a sense of insecurity. The
Government should not seek to conciliate the yeomanry of
Ireland for a day, but the people for ever. (Hear.)
Lord KILI.P.EN deuie-ti that he went tojEari Grey with
the Irish members as a cabal. They went in a tiendly spi-
rit. it was not denied by any member of the House that
rhe yeomanry of Ireland was a party force ; and a party force
was not calculated for Ireland. (Hear.)
Mr. LAMBERT said, he was compelled to state a fact,
that in the Newtownbany massacre, a yeoman ripped up a
woman large with child, and tore the it:fant from her womb
to murder it. Yet it was With great difficulty a hill for
manslaughter was found against the murderer.

ILETOII3I.
Lord A LTHORP moved that the Hausa resolve itself
into a Coniniittee on the Reform of Porliament Bill.
Culaael :+II3THORP said 1•e hat received I stmrs from
Liverpool, stating that the Hotheay s.eamet had been adver-
tised as his Majesty's evar.office packet, and the office had
assumed his Majesty'. name, which probably increased the
number of paNsengets ; it was not true that it was a 1111/-
Ake packet ; he thought the Government should forbid the
use of the King's name.
Mr. LAMB !mid he had received similar leiters from Li-
verpool ; and admitted it was a subject that ougba be at.
tended to. as it night impose on the public; such vessels
tl.ving no other connection with Government, than being
occasionally employed to catty troops
'1 he house resolved itself into the cimmittee.

The CHA I R5l AN read clause twenty-one.
Sir C. AY ETHERELL asked a question which we did I
rot catch, to *bleb Lord A LT HORP replied in a low
tone.
Mr. C. I F.IIGUSSON conontled that none should be es- •
titled to vote for a ten:Tont but who were liable for the rens
and payment of notes, otherwise he said that a person might
t..ke a house at one hundred pounds a-year, and invite
rine of his friends to reside with him, and by that means
give qualification to ten pt rsons from one .enement.
s,s""-The ATTt >RN EY-GENERA L said the clause provided
t.:at whoever voted must be joint occupiers, and conies
~wetly be jointly responsible.
S.r C. W ITHERELI, objected to the phrase occupier,
as being too vague. He designated these joint occupations as
heat rooLeries.
Al, Alderman WOOD said that that part of the clause
applied most particularly to the City of London ; and he
thought that none should be emitled to vote but those who
were bona fide rated and responsible separately for the taxes.
He could not consent that any one should be entitled to vote
merely as being a partner in the occupation of a tenement.
Tile .1T r(JRN EY-G EN ER A L explained that joint
occupation could only be applied where the occupiers were
p ar utcl y responsible.
Mr. Ahlerman VENABLES expressed himselt satis-
fied with the explanation of thelearned Attorney-General,
and was of opinion that it met the views of Iris honourable
colleague.
Sir C. WETHERELL made a number of facetious allu-
sions to the Committee of Common Council. which he de-
signated the self-constituted Committee of Public Safety.—
He complimented Ald. Venable. for his very independent
conduct before the Committeeof Sa'ety, it. telling .been that
although a ftiend•to reform be would exercise his own judg-
ment. The learned gentleman concluded with urging some
further objections to the clause.
Sir. E. SUDDEN objected to the clause; be contended
that the joint occupiers must vote under a common right;
he thought that they might as well at once admit lodgers,
who, in many Mrs, were the must respectable, for there
were many who took a h >use who could not themselves
afford to live an the first-floor, consequently the lodger who
held the first finer was infinitely more respectable than the
landlord.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL again explained, and
said he was satisfied that the clause as now amended was
• calculated to meet every purpose.
A very long conversation followed, which chiefly hinged
on doubts expressed as to the definition given by the learned.
A ttorrey-General to certain terms used in the clause.
Alderman WOOD represented that in large houses
which were act out in compartments as counting-houses, the •
occupiers always claimed exemption from serving in any
offices in the Wards in the city ; and he thought it would
he iteproper than to give them a vote (or a representative in
Lord J. RUSSELL explained, that the ground of their
exemptimi could only be on the plea, that they were not
rated, and the present bill would not at er the law in that
retiree:, for none would be entitled to vote under the pro-
vt.a.•ns of the bill, unless their names were recorded as rate. •
pay Co.s aid consequently to be available for all services and .
ht• • tit es to lie sustained as a rate-payer.
A long discussion' in which Sir R. PEEL and Ser.!
gt:ttit WII.DIi took the chief pert, took place with respect •
to the prt.viso, '• That no tenant so occupying such pre-
mists es aforesaid, at a yearly rent of' not less than 101. •
shall by reason thereof acquire a vote in the election for any
city or bereugn, if by any agreement or contrivance, or by
virtue of any act of parliament, or otherwise, the landlord
si. nil to liable to the payment of the rates for the relief of
the pow, in respect of such premises ; but that. neverthe-
kss, wheic by vittue of any act of parliamem the landlord
shall be liable to the payment of such sates, it :11411 be
lawful for any such tenant to: claim to pay such rates, and
upon his actually paying the same to acquire the same right
of voting as if his landlord had not been so liable for such
Lacs." The point in discussion was whether the tenant,
after paying the poems' rates could claim a proportionate
diminution of his rent.
Sir R. PEEL suggested that a more simple qualification
would be the jury qualification.
Sir C. WETHERELL said, many individuals who now
expected to be electors, because they paid 101. rent, would
be disappointed on finding that they must pay the room'
rates without being able, as he understood the clause, to
claim a proportionate diminution from the rent.
Sergeant 11' ILDE said, they might claim the diminution
whenever they could make it appear what proportion of their
re at represented their poem' rates, and whenever such pro.
portion being deducted there remained 101. rent.
Sir E. SUDDEN recommended that the clause be struck
oat, and another less obscure inserted.
Nlr. WILES said tenants would henceforth take care to
ni dee agreements with their landlords, explicitly stating
their amount of poor rates.
Mr. PRAED thought the proviso would have the Awe
of excluding a most respectable class of voters.
The words in the clause were then agreed to.
The C HA IRM A N that put the words, providing that
the premises occupied during the 12 months shall be the
satire, and that when the premises are jointly occupied by
several persons, each occupier shall vote only when the to-
tal value or rent if the premises, divided by the number d,
the meopiers, shall give a sum of not less than 101. Imp
each occupier.
The question was agreed to.
POLHILL moved, that no person who received
rent from lodgers should vote in right of the occupancy of
such I•ouse, unless the rent was 201.
Lard AI.THORP opposed the motion.
Mr. HUNT said, many a man who let lodgings made
33.11. or 4001. a-year by his house, and would it be reason-
able that he should not have a vote?
Mr. POLHILL withdrew the amendment, and moved
ato-ber, that In all cities and boroughs having from due

hundred to five hundred 101. houses, the qualification to vote,
should be the occupation of a 101. house; inell:lX:di
boroughs having from five hundred to one then
of 101. the right of voting should be the occupation of a
house of 151. rent ; and in all chits and bcaoughs
mote than one thousand 101. houses, the qualificatheialmoM
be the occupation of a house of 210. rent.
Lord ALTHORP oppueed the melon.
Colonel SIBTHORP complained di .t t.otileg that was
acid could be heard, from the noise that was cunstandy made
in the a mmittee from hon. gentlemen eenversivg.
The amendment was negatived without adivieton.
Mr. HUGHES HUGHES moved due no weekly tenant
in any city or borough should be deprived of his vote by
the landlord giving him notice to quit during any vacancy
in the representation of such city or town.
Lord ALTHORP opposed the motion, on the ground
that it would enable persons to vote after they had parted
with the possession of the house in right of occupying which
they voted.
The amendment was negatived without a division.
Mr. HUNT moved an amendment, that all persons ex-
eluded from voting by the bill should be exempted from
paring rates and taxes, and from compulsory serving in the
militia and navy. As he was aware bow the motion would
be decided, he should not trouble the house with a division.
The amendment was negatived without a division.
lily. PI:A ED iiieveti that no person ,beeltl be entitled to
vote who had received parochial relief within twelve months
previous to the fir4l of August next before lie election.
Lord ALTHORP concurred in the amendment, which
was egrecd to.
On the question the. the clause so agreed to stand pelt of
the bill,
Mr. PANE Raid, he was opposed to this 101. clause,
which would make a violent alteration in the constitution of
the country.
Mr. S. WORTLEY tholepin the claws made a meet im.
portant change in the censtittetion, which he must
protest. thought it unfair to call on him to agree with
the C 1,11161 without git ing time for consideration.
Lord AIM litelt sio.ed thrt the clause vas one of the'
most Important in the Bill ; hut it had been very fully dis.
cussed. The large constitacney it :save in large tows would
he thought, be an advantage; ands would produce content-
ment and prevent rites. From every tiling he hail seen of
the fscliug of the country, he did not think .;ity simuld have'
! given satisfaction to th • country generally if they had not
gone as far as they had elte,e. The extent toe constitu-
ency was the best safeguard against corrtolota. In the
smaller vitro, the coustituency would be raised far above
w!tat it was at prevent. He thought the clause would t ffect
a mo-t bene;icial imptovement in the teptenatadon of the
country. (11 ear.)
Cohere] LINDSAY was for refomi to a certain extent,
but 'could not vote for the clause now before the house,
which, in a few years, would make every householder In
E.,,,land an dec•or, mud would give rise to litigation sad
corrumion. There would be nomination by Attorneys In.
stets I of by Pars, and very shortly universal suffrage.
Mr. II YNN thought the framers of the bill should rather
have endeavoured to form a constituency that would give
the best ropuscntation, than one the.' would for a time gra.
dfy the tee ings of the peop'm
Lied LOUGHBOROUGH protested against the whole
of the clause ; if it remained in the bill one result would be
that th.• whole of the pools' rates would in future be paid
by the candidates at elections; the whole bill he considered
as mos: iniquitous, revolivionary, and republican.
The Safety was then et aced tor a division, but the clause
was agreed to without any having taken place.
The CHAIR M A N then reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit spin this day.
' The other enders of the day were Oen disposed of.

2V E 11' LAWS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.
The public are deeply interested by legislation,
and vet it so happens, that nine times in ten laws
pass both Houses before those who are affected by
them are aware of their tendency. We propose,
therefore, to direct our vigilance to this important
object.
A Mil to diminish the Exp:nse and prevent the Delay of

Suits in the Common I:ser Coerts'at Westminster.
Whereas it is expedient that the expenses of suits
in the common law courts of Westminster should
be diminished, and that parties sheuld be restrained
from bringing vexatious or unnecessary actions, or
prevent or delaying justice by false or frivolous
pleas ; be it enacted, that from and after the first
day of the term rext after the passing of this act, in
all actions whatsoever then depending or which may
hereafter be brought in any common law court at
Westminster, any party or parties may give to the
other party or parties n notice in the form specified
in the schedule annexed, or as near thereto as the
circumstances of the case will permit : provided al-
ways, that such notice or notices shall be served
by leaving the same at the place of residence oftbe
agent or agents, attorney or attornies of the parties
suing or defending by attoraey, or of the party or
parties suing or defending in person, one week at
least before the dine appointed for the inspection of
any document, and that the place appointed
for such inspection shall be such that the
party or parties, or the agent or attorney of any
party that appears by attorney, shall not have
occasion, in going and returning from the ordinary
residence or place of INtsinese of any such attorney,
agent or party, to travel more than five miles for
the purpose of inspecting any document; but if
any party who appears in person be a prisoner, or
be confined by illness or bodily infirmity, and shall
within two days after the receipt of the notice of
inspection, or two days after any such person re-
quired to inspect shall have been confined, send by
the post a notice in writing addressed to the person ,
from whom the party required to inspect shall have
I received such notice of inspection, at the place
1 from wEich such notice is dated, a letter, stating
the cause and place of confinement of the person
so required to inspect, then the party or parties re-
quiring inspection shall, by notice in writing to be
sent by the post as aforesaid, fix any day, after one

the co..;rt in which the action is brought who taxes
the costs, shall deduct such costs from the debt da-
mages and eosts which the party so refusing ad-

A BILL. FOR SETtLiNti CONTI:OVERSIES BY

ARM i RATION.

Whereas the determination of controversies by ar-
bitration is often conducive to justice, and advantage-
ous to the parties; but controversies cannot now be
referred to arbitration without the consent of the;:
several parties thereto, and such parties are some
time deterred from submitting their differences to
arbitration by reason of the want of sufficient
means to enforce the attendance of witnesses and'
performance of the award : for remedy thereof, and
also for the encouragement of voluntary submission
to arbitration, be it enacted, that whenever in any i
action that now is or hereafter may be depending,
it shall appear that the matters in dispute between
the parties are such for which an action of account
would now lie, or consist either wholly or in part
of pecuniary demands or payments of more than one
item on each side, it shall be lawful for the Court,
or any Judge thereof, before trial, or for the Judge
before whom the cause may be entered for trial, to
order, upon the application of either party,
all or any such matters of account or pe-
cuniary demands or payments to be referred to
an arbirator to be named by the parties, or by the
court or judge if the parties do not agree in such
nomination within a time to be limited.
In actions involving any question of law or mat-
ter of fact, the Court may order a special case, or
a trial of such matters to be had, and refer the
others.
Unless some special direction as to costs shall
be given by the Court or Judge, the costs of any
special case which may be so directed as aforesaid,
shall follow the decision of the Court thereon ; and
the costs of any trial that may be so bad or proceed
as aforesaid, shall follow the verdict of the jury ;
and all other costs of the cause, and also the costs
of the reference and award, shall follow the event
of the award : provided always, that if in addition
to any matters so referred as aforesaid, all or any
other matters in difference between the parties, and
not comprised in the action wherein the rule or
order shall be made, shall, by consent of the par-
ties, be referred to the same arbitrator, the costs of
so much of the reference and award as may relate
to such other matters, shall be in the discretion of

the arbitrator, unless the parties shall otherwise
Wlt e*.
shall be lawful for the arbitrator to direct a
judgment by confession to be entered on the
record for any sum awarded, or a judg-
ment of non-pros to be so entered, or in case the
cause has been called on for trial, to order a verdict
and judgment to be entered either for the plaintiff or
defendant, and either for the whole or part of the
subject matter of the action, as justice may re-
quire ; and a judgment of non-pros entered in pur-
suance of such direction shall be final and conclu
sive, and may bo pleaded in answer to any other
action brought for the recovery of the matters to
which such judgment may relate.
In case of a referense made by virtue of this
Act without the consent of both parties, it shall be
lawful for the court, on the application of either
party complaining of any improper exercise of the
discretion of the judge in making the order, or of
any mistake in the direction given to the arbitrator
or jury, or of any finding of the jury, or of any
misconduct or mistake of the arbitrator in matter
of law or fact, to make such order thereupon, for
the correction of any such error, mistake or nib-
conduct, and for the relief of the party affected
thereby, as justice may require : provided always,
that if the application ee made on the ground of
any misconduct or mistake of the arbitrator, it
shall be made either before the making of the
award or before the last day of the term next after
the making and publishing of the award.
And whereas by an act of Waliam, it is pro-
vided and prdained, that it shall be lawful for per-
sons desirous to end any such controversy, suit or
quarrel, as is therein mentioned, by arbitration, to
agree that their submission should be made a rule
of any of his Majesty's courts of record, and to in-
sert such their agreement in their submission.
Ba it enacted, That such entry of record and
rule of court may be made, on filing such affidavit
as aforesaid, at any time either in term or vaca-
tion, and as of the day on which the same shall be
Ritually entered and made, and without applica-
tion to the court or any judge for that purpose;
and that upon or after the entering of record of
any such agreement, and a ride of court there-
upon made, and also upon or after any re-
ference by rule of court or order of a judge,
made either by virtue of this act or by consent
of parties, it shall bo lawful for the court or any
judge thereof, by rule or order to be made tor that
prpose, to command the attendance and examina-
tion of any person to be named, or the production
of an) documents to be mentioned, in such rule or
order which the court or judge is hereby authorized
to make ; and the disobedience to any such rule or
order shall be deemed a contempt of court, if, in
addition to the service of such rule or order, an
appointment of the time and place of attendance in
obedience thereto, signed by one at feast of the ar-
bitrators, or by the umpire before whom the attend-
ance is required, shall also be served, either toge-
ther with or after the service of such rule or order.
It shall be lawful for the arbitrators or umpire,
and they are hereby authorised and required, to
administer an oath to such witnesses, or to take
their affirmation in cases where ffirmation is
allowed by law instead of oath; and if upon such
oath or affirmation any persen making the same
shall wilfully and corruptly give any false evidence
every person so offending shall be deemed and
taken to be guilty of perjury, and shall be prose-
cuted and punished accordingly.
The power of the arbitrator not to be revoked
without leave of the court.

If. payment of money or delivery of possession
of lands ordered by au award is not made, the
award may at any time be entered of record, and
be of the same force as a judgment, except as to
becoming a charge upon lands, &c.
But nothing in this act contained shall autho-
rise any court or judge to order a reference of any
matter or cause that may require the adjustment
or settlement of the account of any personal estate
of any testator or intestate, without the consent
of the person or persons having the administration
of such estate, or of any cause or matter that may
require the adjustment or settlement of the account
of any real estate, without the consent of the
persons chargeable in respect thereof as heirs or
devisees.

AUG. 13.—The Exchange has been very agi-
tated to-day : various reports being circulated, and
the finds fell considerably.
Letters from Cracow say that on the sth August,
there had been a serious action between the
Russian and Polish armies, in which the latter
had the advantage. To this it was added that
the Emperor of Russia was ill. In some parts of
Hungary disturbances are said to have broken out,
in consequence of the measures against the cholera,
causing great inconvenience. The cholera is nearer
the capital on the side of Hungary, and symp-
toms of it are said to he observed at Bruck, on the
Leptis., and Bohran, only a few leagues from
Vienna. If this should be true, the emperor and
the imperial family will probably soon leave Baden,

of June 3, contains the following proclamation of
the municipal Chamber :
Since the glorious political events of the ever
memorable 6th and 7th April, which are due to
your heroism, and which announce such nattering
and brilliant prospects to the great Brazilian fa-
mily, the municipal Chamber has seen with regret,
that your minds are not yet easy, perhaps because
the expected ameliorations do not proceed with the
rapidity which you think necessary to your wel-
fare. The municipal Chamber recognises, as
well as you, the necessity of reforms of the

evils, which the Government purposely tu.
lerated for your destruction ; but you, as well a,
the municipal powers, must perceive the imp,*
bitty of effecting in so short a time, amelioration,
and reforms which necessarily must proceed in ihti
course laid down by the constitution, to which we
have sworn. The Municipal Chamber, suffering
from the same evils as yourselves, is going to sui,
mit to our worthy representatives the chief subject,
of your displeasure. Let us trust in the wisdom of
our General Assembly, which has given such re.

peated proofs of its devotion to the welfare of Bra-
zil. Let us hope in the wise measures of our re-
presentatives, who being chosen from among
ourselves, cannot have different interests. They
know our wants, and will put an end to them.
Be not precipitate—do not suffer yourselves to be
deceived, if :ou desire the happiness of your
country, if you desire that Brazil should be always
a nation of heroes. You were such in the field of
honour, and you will still be so, if prudence regu-
lates your conduct : support the Constitution, that
sacred code, —be obedient to the laws, —respect the
constituted authorities,—it is thus only that you
will be happy ; and, on the contrary, hurried
from precipice to precipice, we shall fall into total
ruin. And shall this be the result of the many
labours, of the many dangers, to which you have
exposed yourselves for the salvation of our country ?
Shall this be the spectacle which we shall exhibit to
a civilized nation, which now behold us with asto-
nishment ? Certainly not—you are Brazilians,
and tho nation shall still admire your prudence,
acrd your respect for the laws. Viva ! our holy roll-
! gion, the Brazilian nation, the general legislative
assembly, the Constitutional Emperor Don Pedro
111. the brave Fluminettces.

first readers.

We had yesterday the satisfaction, on the re•
spectable authority of information which reached
our office exclusively, to describe the result of those
military operations, on which mainly depend the
fate of Poland, and the hopes of the friends to the
Polish cause. To-day we are not enabled either to
correct or confirm "our important intelligence of
yesterday, for there have been no arrivals from the
vicinity of the seat of war, more recent than fee
accounts of which we were in possession yesterdo!:
We have intelligence to-day from the bank; c
the Danube—about the same distance from the
scene of action as Hamburgh, but dated four day)
earlier; nevertheless, it will be seen that they CO
tale accounts of some Polish advantages, 11
Cracow ; and that there have been falls in the
Austrian funds, such as would be likely
follow the defeat or retreat of the Russians.

Our brother Journalists of this morning bat'
treated the intelligence, which we gave them Ia
night, with the respect due at once to our knoe:
integrity, and to the respectability of the evolve
sources of our information; and it is creditable
all of them, that they participate in our feeling,
and express ardent hopes, that the intelligence ne
be fully confirmed.
For our own parts, we entertain little deuh:
that at the beginning of the week, it will
found, that the Poles have gained such advaniego
over the Russians, as have obliged the latter
retreat towards the Prussian frontiers of Silesia
Pesnania. In fact, all military men have Ito
gated such retreat, if not defeat, as the ineeitP
result of the desperate move of PAILEWITSCH•
daring to cross the Vistula, and place his Elise°
troops in an inimical country, in the face
