The packet ship York, Capt. Burds-
ley, arrived last evening, has brought US
our files of English papers from the 10Th
to 25th October, Shipping Lists & Com
mercial advices to the same date.
From the extracts we give below, it will
be perceived that, as we predicted on
Saturday, the King Of England has pro-
rogued the British Parliament; announc-
ing at the same time, his intention of again
bringing before that body at the ensuing
session, the question of a constitutional
reform in the representative body. The
Speech Of the King is highly eulogized
in most of the London journals.
The previous rejection of the Reform
Bill by the House of Peers, has called
forth unqualified marks of the strongest
disapprobation in every part of England
and Scotland. Meetings have been held
throughout these countries, expressive of
indignation at the vote ofthe Lords--ap-
PREDATORY Of the conduct of the Govern
ment, and urging Ministers to persevere
in their project'o Of reform.
Disturbances have taken place in Lon
don, and the Marquis Of Londonderry
has been severely hurt Nottingham
Castle at Nottingham, the seat Of the
Duke Of Newcastle, has been burned
down by the people, and the military cal
led in: we have not the particulars Of this
occurrence, owing to the chasm in the
dates ofour English papers caused by the
non-arrival of the packet of the 9Th
Great excitement has prevailed, particu-
larily against the Bishops,i in consequence
oftheir votes against Reform. Mr. Hunt
had presented petition to the House of
Commons, praying for the disfranchise-
ment Of those individuals of all-political
power, but it was withdrawn, the Speak
er declaring that it involved question Of
privilege belonging to the other branch
Of the Legislature and comment upon
their proceedings, and that it was there
fore not proper the House should take
cognizance oft.
Lord Sandon had been elected MEM
Der Of Parliament for Liverpool, who, it
is stated, was supported by singular
mixture ofultra s. moderate Tories, Wigs,
and moderate Reformers. His opponent
Mr.. Thorneby, is declared to be sim
cere and thorough-going Reformer.
Lord Ashley, an anti-reformer, had
been elected member for Dorsetshire, in
opposition to Mr.. Ponsonby.
In France, perfect tranquility seems to
reign. We were already informed that
the Chamber Of Deputies had by large
majority declared against the peerage
remaining hereditary, but the attempts to
other amendments proposed by the liber-
al party have failed. We see not there
fore that much has been done. 1t strikes
US that this body emanating entirely from
the King, will be more plant machine
in the hands Of the monarch than. it was
before.
At last the conference at London have
laid the basis of an arrangement between
Belgium and Holland.
The Belgians express the utmost dis
satisfaction at the terms which are i'm.
posed on them; but, as in resisting them,
they can look for neither countenance
nor aid from France or England, or in
deed from any other power, we have lit
lie doubt that they will eventually be
compelled to submit.
In relation to Poland the accounts be-
fore US complete the picture of the total
subjugation of that heroic nation to the
autocrat of Russia; we were already in
possession Of the outlines.
The cholera Morbus, we lament to add,
has reached Hamburg. When the prox-
unity Of that city to England and its fire.
quent intercourse with that country is
considered,it it can hardly beexpected that
it will not be carried thither, and indeed
throughout all Europe. 1t is consolat-
ing, however, to find, that as it extends
to the most civilized part Of the conti-
nent, it assumes more lenient charac-
ter. Additional precautions had been
adopted against its introduction in Eng
land but we are unable to insert it to- day.
The King Of Holland had opened sss-
sion States General by speech which
contains notions particularly important.
GREAT RRITAIN.
