FRIDAY MORNING.-JULY 31, 1835.

'rile Parisian spectacle of the three glorious days has
'lll-eadY Proved to be a very serious and tragical affidr.
-A telegraphic despatch was received in London on Wed-
ll.,"daY evening by the French ambassador, dated "Paris,
-July DQ
"'11), two o'clock," announcing that one of those
-"vage attempts at assassination for which the republican.
11vages of Paris are so famous bad been made on the

1;416'11o:11 effort to destroy the King of the French was
44:ade by Means of an infernal machine placed within a
lvincluw, which exploded as he was 'passing, killed his

effet upon some of his stdte, and more particularly upon

Several of the King's aides decamp were also killed or
_wounded; and some gcsierals of rank, it was understood,

Hloq "very particular 'case will be a useless and inter-
:4'4le proceeding.; I do not believe that it has been
vr"Pused with a view to delay, but undoubtedly the delay
mart OCCaNiOn will be fatal to the tneaxitre."
Th; 18 is the'. opinion of DANIEL o'CoNNEtai's prime
h:listeri and it is this opinion, so gravely stated; which
t 1 grieved and alartned the Chronicle., ntit it is vain
w:(111 upon the reformers to avert the' consequences. A
34
majority of the people take no interest in, and c<tn-
totare possibly be affected by the bill. The most numerous
t:4 or reformers in Old towns who concern themselves
thclut it, are the operatives, whom the bill will deprite of
41.eit fit
and exclude eventually from all voice or
fathers,
in those corporations, of which they and their
lii.u.ers, from time immemorial, have been members. In
4)14 Pase, as in all others, since the whigs have been in
4,..nwer, the poorer orders of our countrymen are the sof-,
.17rerg.
Lord STRANOkORD tells us that the effects of the
ll would be to reduce the electors of the borough of
ir "entry. from 3,660 to 1,500 persons! It wuuld operate
‘lllllilarlY everrlarge borough in the kingdom. It
`°"hl exclude the poor man for ever, and it would con-
lecluently degrade him. It is, in fact, a bill of pains and
471346" against every man in humble circumstances. It
kat tohs him, and it then points hiM out to society as
4t)g iOO poor, too worthless, or too dishonest to he en-
.":ted• with the political or municipal franchise.
1. 'he Chronicle, therefore, need not waste its sweet
,)ureatlt, or its equally sweet ink, in calling upon " public
itPi"kn" to Curb the lords in the exorcise of their privi-
t gel as independent and intelligent legislators. It will
.;„'Qtanswer to the call. " Public opinion" every where
1—; 'usgusted With the glaring injustice of the measure,
"e mischievous objects it has in view, the factious pur-
-I!°Aes it is intended to serve, and the miserable frauds
aeon tvlriell it is funded.
..t-Charges are openly made against the municipal coin-
tairioners of having framed a report unsupported by
"ski:enee, and with the collusive object of pr,omoting the
t1:111ge8 of his majesty's ministers. The two political
in_laPrnen who, by virtue of Lord BROUGHAM'S commis-
f
~l '''!'itravelled into Dorsetshire for the, purpose of re-
-17144g the borough of Weymouth, are accused by the
14°ri of FALMOUTH of having misrepresented iu a shame-
ful
Manner the mode of election in that town. They
17. Et that the mayor is chosen from four persons notni-
t:ted thirty-six burgesses,-whereas, in point of fact'
mayor is chosea by the whole burgesses and house-

h olders of the town, irho amount to upwards of 1,500.

So much for Weymouth. Other boroughs are treated in
a similar manner. The whole report is a tissue of blun-
ders, absurdities, and „gross misrepresentations.

But worse than this' remains. Lord Buotto HAM has
himself constructively achnitted that the commission
under which these men acted was an illegal one. He
adMits that they had no power to compel any corporate
officer, or any person breathing, to answer a single ques-
tion. They could not call for any document or charter.
They were sent to• collect voluntary evidence—to pick
up garbage—to listen to idle tales and traditionary false-
hoods. If, then, they received any information from
municipal authorities, they received ten times as much
from those who hardly knew what they Ivere talking
about. And this last they are pleased to call evidence!
They throw all the dirty ingredients together, shake
them secundem artein as a cow-doctor does drugs, and
then pick out at their leisure the most unsavoury parts
which are best suited to their purpose. The selection
was rich, no doubt, and as impartial as Whig rules would
admit of; but, after all, it is not the sort of justice Which
the people of England admire.
The illegality of the commission taints the whole body
of the evidence; and on this ground alone the lords are
hound to satisfy themselves as to-the facts in every parti-
cular case before they proceed to legislate. In the first
place it is their duty to ascertain whether the preamble of
the bill has been proved. That preamble sets out by
asserting, that in " divers boroughs in England and Wales
great abuses -had crept in," &c. They detect abuses in
certain. boroughs, and upon this they condemn the whole.
We deny that there are any abUses, any jobbing, any
malversation„ any corruption in, the borough of Liver-
pool. The commissioners failed to discover any. One
of their number deelares that this corporation is governed
by honourable men ; that its officers are efficient; that
its accounts are annually audited; and that no ground of
suspicion exists for .questicining the integrity, fidelity,
the • publiic spirit, or the -Usefulness pf. the cotporation of
Liverpool. Another of these commissioners, and.one of
the ablest of them, asserts the same of other boroughs,
and protests against the report. Their opinions, how-
ever, are "clisre•iarded ; no exception is made in favour of
Liverpool ; Lord JOHN RUSSELL avails hkaself of the
fictions and dispenses with the truth; the innocent anti
pure are condemned with the corrupt and guilty;, and a
.monstrous measure of 'spoliation receives the sanction of
the House of Commons.

Our appeal then to the House of Lords is to that house
in its judicial capacity. We ask for no new immunities
.at their hands.; we seek no exemption from incurred
penalties; we crave no special interference on the score
of error, in the name of merep=we simply demand
JUSTICE. We. seek that which the Louis cannot refuse ;
we ask to be reheard; we submit our case upon its merits,
and beg to be, tried by the. evidence against us, as well
as by that which we have to offer in defence. If our
prayer be acceded to, Liverpool must be erased from the
schedules of the municipal reform bill.
We perceive that different men being differently
affected take conflicting views of the measure. For
stance, there was a meeting of leaseholders under the cor.
poration of Liverpool on Wednesday last. These gen-
tlemen are all partially interested in a particular clause
of the bill, and many of them, we are happy to say, are
whigs, and huge oirers of Lord JOHN RussEiv. One
gentleman, Mr. BOOTH, declared that he was not favour-
able to any interference with " vested interests;" but
has he signed the petitions in favour of the "vested in-
terests "Uf the poorer burgesses ? The clause that
affects him is the one which reduces corporation leases
from seventy-five to thirty-one years. This, no doubt,
is an awful interference with " vested interests" in the
estimation of Mr. BOOTH ; but in our humble judgmentit
is a more defensible one than that which deprives npprea-•
tices and the suns of freemen of their chartered rights.
Mr. BOOTH would not like to see Lord JOHN RUSSELL Vot-
ing away the shares of the Liverpool and Manchester Rai!-
way to the " great body of the people," or -cutting down
the salaries of 'its officers; but Lord JOHN has -done as
unjust an act, by robbing the freemen, as he would do by
robbing„ the share-ownets ; and there are many Mr.
Booirvs who. flavir'no complaints urge'ori behalf of the'
spollated burgesses, hut loud and serious ones to urge
when die little linger of the reformer is applied to their
own properly.

•
We like not this. It shows of what wretched materials.
patriotism anti modern reformers are composed. It gives
tire poor man, who has seldom an honest defender; a bawl
idea of humanity; and 'engenders
.those feelings of dis-
content towards their more fortunate fellow men which
the whigs have encouraged for the last thirty years. The
meeting cf Wednesday pruves that men of all creeds and
parties are diSsatistied With the measure, and in this par-
ticular case we admit they have good and serious grounds
fur being so; hut still tve du not seek the opposition of
whigs only on those clauses which touch their own pockets.
If they are to be exempted from the knife of the re-
formers, others who are equally if not More recklessly
aggrieved, must be exempted also. We detest all in-
vidious, and one sided, and factious legislation. In a
matter of this kind we must all swim in the same boat,
suffer alike,
.survive 'or go, down together.

THE EMANCIPATION LOAN.

Several of our capitalists wailed upon the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and Lord Melbourne, at the Treasury, this morn-
ing. at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of learning the-amount
and partit;Wars of the Yuan reonired for the West Julia com-
pensation Claims. The rest►lt is that £15,0(/0,000 will be re-
quired iu stated instalments, the minister reserving the right of
making au additional loan of one and a half millions for Bar-
badues, and three and a half millions for the Mauritius.. The
sum of £75 stuck in consols is to be given, and EZ in three
per cents: reduced, a►:d the biddings will ire in long annuities;
those who will take the least in addition to the above will have
the contract. The new loan will consequently betst• three per
cent. interest. , The instalments are to be paid as follows:
• • 10-per cent. ou Wednesday next.

The interest on the consuls will commence from the 15th

derable effect nit our consul market, consuls for money and. for

they closed; 3 per cent. reduced left off at 901; the 31 per

bilis are at 8 to 10 pro., and India bonds at 2G to 28.
In the foreign market, Spanish and Portuguese securities,
there is much heaviness. Spanish bonds are 484 1, the scrip
10 discount, and Portuguese 5 per cents. at 691 j. In other
stock the market is heavy. Russian bonds are 1091, Dutch 5
per cent?. 101, the 21 per cents. at 54g. and Belgian at 100.
Colombian bonds are 36, and the Brazilian at 85. Chilian
are 1.3 to 4,5, and Mexican 36i, with little doing.

Advices ;lave been transmitted by Admiral Rowley to the
Admiralty, and by the secretary at Lloyd's, announcing that
37 Greek pirates . had been destroyed by. Ihraim Pasha, who
had infested the Gulf of Salonice for the last fortnight, and
that the nobrious pirate Cacamitza, who with 200 men was
cruizing in that neighbourhood, having been driven by. the
weather on the coast of Pintoinon, had been attacked by the
troops of Imin Pacha. Larissa, and killed, with seven of his
followers.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENT OF THE DAYS OF
THE MONTH. •

On the 21st day of July, 1683, Lord 'William Russell was
executed in Lineoln's•inn fields, f,r the stand which be math;
iu supporting the protestant religion against the intrigues of
the court in the reign of Charles 11., formed hy catholic, interest
in favour of the popish Duke of York; as also died Sydney:—
hence the glorious revolution of 1688. (See the hiogcaPlLY of
the two illustrious martyrs.)
On the 21st day of Juiy, 1835, Lord John Russell's hill for
the appropriation of the revenues of the Irish protestant church,
in aid of catholic education, went into a committee of the Com-1
mons' House of Parliament; the effect of which is in direct
opposition to his noble ancestor's aryl Sydney's glorious 4t;tig-
glee, for which they gave up their precious lives.
Lord William Russell was the son of the 6k la duke: Lord
