From the Boston Patriot of Saturday last
PASSAGE Of HE REFORM BILL.

British brig Hazard, Capt. Church
ward, from Liverpool, April II, qnaran-
tine, arrived las. evening Capt. G. has
favored us with the London Morning
Herald of April ii. 1t is chiefly filled
with the report of the debate of the pre-
ceding night, in the House Of Lords, on
the Reform Bill, which was brought to
close at o'clock in the morning. The
Bill was passed to second reading by
Il majority of NINE votes. The votes
were contents, present 1913, proxies 56,
total 1884; ncn contents, present l26,
proxies 40, total l75. The bill was inn
mediately read second time, and on
motion of Earl Grey was ordered to be
committed OH the first day after the re-
cess.
The Morning Herald remarks OH this
decision that though the bill may be
hereafter modified in some Of its provi"
sions, the House of Lords cannot so far
stultily its own proceedings as to mutt
late that bill in the Committee, the prin-
.ciples of which is recognized on the Sc
cond reading. The paper remarks that
the debate was distinguished by great
power-that the speeches Of the Lord
Chancellor and Earl Grey were efforts
which are not likely to be forgotten even
when the present generation shall have
passed away.

without amendment, and to create as ma
ny Peers as may be necessary to carry
every point. Immense public meetings
had been held upon the subject, and re-
solutions in favor Of the lOi. qualification

ton.

In the French papers, the progress Of
the Cholera continues to be the leading

The ravages OF the Pestilence have beei
truly appalling. 1t is believed that the
violence of the epidemic has abated in
the capital, but it is spreading with desc
lating fury through the provinces. lhe
government reports of the deaths III Ia
ris, are said not to be depended upon
They embrace only the returns OF cases
terminating fatally within the walls Of Ia
ris, while the disease is raging with aw-
ful destructiveness in all the environs.-
Many of the most eminent medical mer
have fallen victims to it. The deaths In
Paris, down to the 29th Of April, are es'
timated in letters from medical men, a

Marine, Seine Inferieure, Aube, Euro
