Trial Of C0tbeu.-The trial Of this notorious
pampheteer for an alleged libel, tending to ex-
cite me farming laborers Of Britain to destroy
threshing machines, &c. has terminated when
the case was opened by the Attorney General
aud the publication proved, Goblet addressed
the Court for several hours, alleging that the pro-
secuion had beeh instituted by the Wing Minis
try because he had refused TO support them! He
then called several witnesses, among whom was
the Lord Chancellor Brougham. who, on being
examined, admitted that he, in November last,
applied to MIR. Goblet, through the latter's son,
for copy of an article which he had published,
some twenty years ago, to prove the folly Of break
ing and destroying machinery. The Lord Chan
ceIor wished to republish the said article, for the
purpose of allaying the disturbances in the agri-
cultural districts, for exciting which the present
indictment had been preferred. Lord Radnor
and other noblemen and gentlemen spoke in favor
Of Mr. Cobbett's character. The Attorney &C.
neral replied at some length The Lord Chief
Justice summed up the evidence, directed the Ju-
ry. dispasssionately and free from prejudice on
either side, to deliberate on their verdict.
After the jury had been out about two hours, they
sent message into court that they could not agree.
The Judge sent back word "they st agree"
After about eight or ten hours further delibera-
ton, they could not still agree-and as 1t appear
ed, that there was no likelihood Of their coming to
decision, the judge discharged them-the jury
spen. from about O'Clock on Friday evening till
9 O'clock next morning together. The jury be-
ing discharged amounts to an acquittal.
Reform on the English Bench of Bishops-
The Bishop Of Carlisle lately appeared in the
House Of Lords, wihom his ing; his example
has since been followed by the Bishop of Osford.
This is as great reform among the English Ec-
clesiastics, as Sultan Mahmoud has made among
his lieses There being so much more intelli-
gence, and so much less prejudice in England
than IN Turkey-tbrs reform will be better relish
ed by John Bull than the cutting Of whiskers was
by the Sedan.
New Peers.-The last London Court Journal
says, the creation of new Peers, of which we gave
notice iortnig int since is near at hand. The num-
Der is variously estimated at from 10 to ID.
Areport was in circulation in London that Mi
nisters intended to leave the Reform Bill to its
fate in the Lords--bdt this must be incorrect: a
meeting Of meGrsets favorable to reform was held
at the Foreign Office on the 10th July-there Lord
AIthorp, it is reported, said that every exertion
would be made in the Lords to ensure the passing
of the measure. The fact that a number of new
Peers will be created III necessary is proof that
the Ministers are determined to carry the mea-
sure at all hazards.
Reform Medal find it stated in one of
our late English papers that medal has been made
commemorative Of the introduction of the Bill.
1t is intended to afford at glance an answer to
the frequently repeated question, "What is to
be expected from the operation of the Reform
Blli" Radiating from the word Reform are Gre
presentation, Church, tithes, laws" &c. encir-
cled BY others' abiding TO further objects which
may be secured by reform. The diverse is in
scrbed with the pane of the King, Lord Grey,
Brougham, Russell, and the people, 1881. 1t
was designed by Mr.. II. Coward, of Bath. exc
cuted by Mr.. Thomson, Of Birmingham, and the
profits arising from the sale are to be appropriate
ed towards fund for the erection of some mo-
nument to commemorate the glorious event.
The Belgian populations. charged with the

had arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, London
They were received in the different towns of
Flanders thro' which they passed with the great
est enthusiasm, and during the changing Of horses
immense crowds of citizens surrounded the car
riages, crying "TiUe is Roir''s Viue Lebeau!"
