IGN NEW S.

which was manifested on Saturday on the
throwing out of the Reform Bill in the House
OF Lords Early in the day, ihough the wealth
er was tempestuons, groups were collected on
the Exchange aud at every corner, to collect
such particulars as they could of what all con-
sldered common calamity, and the publica-
ton OF the morning papers being extremely
late, owing TO the hour al which the division
took place Tho shops of the nows wonders
we're beset by applicants long before the usual
period, and to deg go wholly Unprecedented.
| On The Royal Exchange, every corner was
occupied by knots of politicians questioning !
each other, and forming conjectures on the con
sequence OF this event; most of them at loss !
Tor any mode OF retrieving the wrong dono to
the people OF England. We heard many of them |
who had important private avocations TO attend
to, confess themselves wholly unfit through the
distress of mind under which they lahorcd, to
answer any claims OF that nature. A great mum
Der oftho leading merchants and bankers (mem-
bers of the House of Commons) proceeded 10
attend a meeting at Williss Rooms, in order 10
put their names to declaration of support TO
the present ministers. A requistion is also in
course Of signature, calling upon the Lord May
or TO convene a meeting of the Livery, which
will he presented 10 him this evening. 1t is IN
contemplation to take steps for the organization
of civic guard, in which the respectable house
, holders may enrol their names for the purpose
, Of depressing any tumultuous movements which
i may occur.
= The news of the fatal vote spread over the
country with almost telegraphic rapidity, and
produced every where establishment and con
sternation. An express reached Birmingham
h at FIVE o'clock in the afternoon; universal
e feeling of disappointment and Indignation per
j. vaded the whole population. The funeral bells
Of all the churches and chapeis were muflicd
. and tolled, as the most solemn occasions.
y The Council of the Political Union assembled
:. in tho course of the evening, and an address to
n The people to abstain from outrage mms.
n diately issued.
The effect produced in Manchester on the ar.
}, rival of the news was great beyond precedent
/. The first report of the probability of its relec
!, ton, was received with complete incredibly.
U People said that the thing was impossible, with
l. out suPposing the Lords insane. There is but
T. one voice in tho town, and all differences on
a minor points absorbed in the great question
= which now convulses the country from one end
y to the other.
a By accounts contained in the /" Catcd0nidn
d Mercury" ofTuesday, serious apprehensions APP
if pear TO be entertained of the Interruptions of or
d der in the west of Scotland which quarter
d numerous bodies OF troops have been ordered !;
but down to the present moment happily the
u fears of the public have not been confirmed
y Indeed the accounts from the country, as far
y as they have yet reached us are frghtful. The
- operations OF trade suspended, from feel
y ing that mems minds are about to be agitated
a by passions which will leave no time for batter
Is or commercial speculatons.
ID Accounts from Derby represent serious dis
turbances to have taken place in that town, on
the receipt of the intelligence of the Bill having
S. been thrown out The populace, it added,
is vented their fury against the inhabitants whose
le sentiments were know to be at variance with
o public opinion, by attacking their dwellings,
~ breaking their windows, &c, when tho popu-
=, lace proceeded to the gao, and liberated the
n whole Of the prisoners, both debtors and Grim
inals
e The news produced the same powerful sensa
l. ton in Chester, in other parts Of the empire,
f where it arrived on Sunday about noon The
inhabitants Immediately assembled, and pre-.
scented reqnlsition to the Mayor the same day
IT Sunday requesting him to call public meet
ff ing at the earliest moment, TO address the King
l. on the all absorbing topic. The representatives
q Of the city have, also, addressed letters exhib
r. it frmness, and unite in the present alarming
ID crisis.

It CHOLERA.
t. The Cholera is making frightful progress
: in Europe; it is rapidly spreading over Ger
o many, and making its way by slow but sure
l. advances 10 the Rhine and tho frontiers OF

IF If the following account, contained in a prI
y vatc letter from St Petersburg, be correct, il
= proves that the cholera is not contagious but
Is at the same time, that fear contributes very
l. powerfully TO render it dangerous --"Six men

be pafdoned If they escaped the disease. They
readily accepted the offer, and were taken into
