A subject for reRcction.-Agreeably
TO memorandum kept by the Rev. DR..
CATcHcART, of York, Pa. it appears
that one hundred and nine murders were
committed in the United States, within
the year 1881. Some of these were of
the most appalling kind, such as parents
by their children, children by their pa
rents, husbands by their wives, and
wives by their husbands, &c. A large
proportion of them are regarded as the
consequence Of an Incorporate use of dr.

Extracts from English Papers to Jan. 8.
THE REFORM RIIJ

The Liverpool Albion of the 9th. thus
positively announces the determination OF the
Government TO create sufficient number
of Peers TO carry the Bill AS to what is
said about Saving the Peers and the coun-
try from destruction" by this bold measure,
query
The early triumph of the cause of reform
is now certain.-The King, of his own free
Will as much as by the advice ofhis ministers,
has determined TO create a sufficient num-
Der of peers TO ensure the success of the re-
form bill. The step'is bold, but it is strictly
constitutional. 1t is the least of two evils
between which the Government had TO
choose. The anti-reform peers are under
stood 10 be as hostile TO the new as thew were
TO the old bill, and are as determined 10 re-
Iect 1t. Under these circumstances, the
King and his ministers have been compelled
reluctantly so, wehave no doubt, TO save the
peers themselves from destruction and the
country from revolution and anarchy, by
making an addition 10 the peerage itself.
The anti-relormers have brought the evil if
evil II I've, on themselves, by their own obSti-
macy and selfiShness.
There had been reports Of the death of
the Duke of Wellington, which created
much sensation. Messengers were immed =
lately sent from the Post-office by the Duke
ofRichmond, and from the Governmentoffi-
GERS also The answer 10 the duke ofRicb-
mOnd was that the Duke felt much better and
had some thoughts of going 10 Strathfeld-
