the practical_ proof of oar standing in no need of that
Reform in Parliament whieh it has been the object of,
all you efforts to obtain. Buts system which promotes,
sone bat the prokates, sod proscribes the most those
who deserve best of their country, is too monstrous to
be long endured ; the more illustrious the victims of such ,
a system, the more speedily will It be brought to a close.
We trust tbst hector times are at no groat distance;
but let them cams when they may, of this at least we
are sere, that your country will not forget the sacrifices
you may have made, nor the sufferings you may have en-
dured. Your magnanimity needs no support; and it is
not so much to console yon,as to do justice to ourselves,
that we now assure you, that we regard the conduct
which has produced Tour present persecution, as adding
to the claims which' hare alreasii, entitled you to the
gratitude and affection of the English people.

whose name appeared in the majority upon the Mar-
quis of Tavistoek's motion, and who was obliged,
in consequence of indisposition, to leave the House
before twelte o'clock, did not vote upon that occasion.
The name of Sir John Majoribanks appears in the
List of the Minority erroneously. It ought to have
been Stewart Majoribanks, Esq.
It is extremely difficult to snake Lists perfectly cor-
rect, u here so many Members vote.
OXISSION.—In our report of the debate on the Bir-
mingham petition, on Thursday, evening, we omitted
by accident to mention an expression used by Mr.
Littleton in his explanation. He stated that he had
not proposed a property tax, but had suggested the
justice that some equal share of the public burdens
should be laid on that monster of consumption—the
'kindholder.

In answer to an application made from Leeds to
sir. Pellatt, one of the seesetaries of the Protestant
Society in London, that gentleman has written to say,
that until Mr. Brougham's Education Hill is bronght
into the Ilonse this session it would be premature and
unavailing to do any thing respecting it ; but that the
Society, by its committee and secretaries, are closely
watching this bossiness, and so soon as the time shall
arrive fur the exercise of laudable exertions in opposing
a measure so fraught with mischief to the community,
' due notice will be given.
, We are informed that, in the course of the present
year, the number of ships which has been determined
shall be kept in an effective state for commission, will
be completed, and that a general discharge of work-
men from all the dock-yards will ensue. The de-
creased number at this yard, it is supposed, will ex-
ceed 1,500. The naval force to be kept up is 80 sail
of the line, with a suitable proportion of frigates and
sloops.—(Porismooth Paper.)

in our last as being charged with the heinous offence of
carrying an effigy of Majocci about the streets, is yet in

have passed over, and without railing upon him even to
plead to his indictment ; the trial was removed by cer-;
tiorari into the King's Bends. This is the 1111311T11
week of Isis incarceration.—(Prokerd'aSeasfOrdPoper.)
