From the Boston Daily Hdr. and Patriot
Reform an the British ParliGment-
reform bill has been so long under discus
sion, that many of our readers we presume
must have forgotten what are its provisions.
The following, unless some changes have
been made, in its progress through the two
Houses, which we do not recollect to have
seen mentioned, are its principal features.
Fiity-siX Boroughs enumerated in sche-
dule A. heretofore returning two members
each are entirely deprived after the end Of the
present Parliament of the right of separate
representation. Thirty Boroughs, compos-
ing schedule Il. heretofore returning two
members each, willatter the present Parlia-
ment return but one. These disfranchse-
ments make reduction of l46 members.
In place of these acknowledgements, %
new Boroughs are formed, composing sche-
dule g. including Manchester, Birmingham,
Leeds, Sheffield, and other large towns, with
some districts Of the City of London, which
are entitled TO return two members each.-
Nineteen other Boroughs are formed, emu
merated in schedule ID. composed of a small
Ter class of towns, entitled TO return one
member each. Five other Boroughs are
formed, consisting ofcertan towns, with the
places adjoining, included within a specifi-
ed boundary, each entitled TO return one
member.
The county of Cork is entitled 10 return 6
knights instead of 4 ; two knights 10 be G.
lected by each of the three rulings. The
county of Lincoln into two districts, each to
return two Knights. Twenty five other
counties, enumerated in schedule +. are TO
be each divided into two divisions, by an act
TO be passed by the present Parliament, and
each division will be entitled TO return two
Knights, in place of two Knights heretofore
returned by each county. Seven other
counties enumerated in the bill are entitled
to return three Knights each instead of two.
The counties in Wales are authorized TO re-
turn two knights instead of one. The Isle
OfWightis for the purposes Of the act made
a county, separate from Southamptonshire,
and entitled TO return Knight of the shire.
In addition TO these changes, it is proposed
TO add the bills for the reform of the rcpresen-
tation of Scotland and Ireland, five members
for the former, and eight for the latter. Be.
sides these changes, many OF the Boroughs
are enlarged, by annexing 10 them certain
adjoining territory, and giving TO the inhab
itants the right OF voting in the election.
These changes cut off the right of election
of l49 burgesses which deducted from the
567 members of which the House is now
composed, would reduce the number to 424.
In place of the members of which the House
is thus deprived, the following are added:
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 182?-183?, 1832-08-03

The act goes on TO describe the qualifca-
ton of electors of K Knights of the shire, and
for members for cities and boroughs. Eve
ry male person of full age, seized OF any free
hold or copy hold estate of not less than ten
pounds, clear yearly value, over and above
all rents and charges, will be entitled to vote
IN the election of knights of the shire
Males OF full age, holding as lessee or asSig-
nee for term not less than 60 years, lands
or tenements of not less than e 10 yearly
value, or for term OF not less than 20 years
OF not less than 6 so clear yearly value or
occupying as tenant any lands or tenements
for which he shall be bona fiGe liable to a
yearly rent of not less than C so, shall be en-
titled to vote in the election of Knight of
the shire. Males of full age in any city or
borough which shall return member or
members, occupying therein, as owner or
tenant, any house, or warehouse, or shop, of
the clear yearly value of e 10 shall, if duly
registered, be entitled TO vote in the election
Of such members. Persons who would have
been entitled to vote in the choice of mem
bers, either as freeholder, burgess, as
freeman or liyeryman of any city or borough,
if this act had not passed, shall be entitled to
vote in future elections, ifduly registered, so
long as he shall be duly qualified according
to any law now in force.
Alphabetical lists of persons entitled to
vote for Knights of shires are TO be made by
the overseers of the poor of every parish and
township; and TO enable them TO do it per-
sons entitled 10 vote are required to transmit
their names TO the oyerseers Similar lists
are to be made out by the town clerks of CT
ties and boroughs, and the clerks of all pla-
ces sharing in the election, Of the persons
therein entitled to vote, which lists are to be
posted on OF near the door of the town hall
revising the lists, and for determining the
qualifications of the voters. The act of
which this is general outline, is OF very
great length.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

The opponents TO the Protective System
may be divided into two classes, who, al
though they have arrived at the same result,
differ altogether in their reasoning. The
one, who may be termed ultra in their prin-
cIples, contend that whatever restrictions
may be imposed by foreign powers on the
importation OF our commodities, it is only
an aggrayation Of the evil TO Tetaliate by re-
strlction on our part. Upon their principle
1t is clear that if we buy every thing and
sell nothing, there must be an expectation OF
specie until from reduction in its amount.
the nominal price of labor becomes so low
as TO enable our manufacturers, without pro-
lection TO undersell the foreigner in our own
markets. The other class readily admit
that this would be the consequence were the
exclusion ofour varied commodities general
but contend that our protective system is
unjust as it sacrifices the interests of the
South whose productions are at all times adj.
mltted into the European markets. twill
readily be perceived that this idea of a con-
flict in interest between the North and South
is calculated TO engender feelings OF hostili-
ty between the two great. sections Of the con-
federacy, and il becomes us carefully TO sur
voy the grounds on which tins conclusion
has been formed, and if we can show that
the policy pursued by our great commercial
and manufacturing rival, the British, has
already materially affected the interests Of
the South, and that its direct tendency is es-
sentially to destroy those interests, we trust
that twill at least induce the South, the first
mover in this now denounced System, 10 re-
turn TO her ancient policy, and cordially to
unite in the support OF our happy Union.
1t is known that some years since the cul-
ture Of Indigo in South Carolina was extern
slye, and that it formed large item in the
exports from that State. 1t is equally well
known that when the protective System was
eiliclently adopted ii was found necessary TO
lay duty on this article, which gradually
increased in amount until, in 1890, it rose
TO 30 cents per pound. The cause of this
sudden change in the industry of that State
which exported in 1910, S44,0ll pounds OF
Indigo, while in the year 1880 the United
States imported 439 POS lbs, has not been
known until lately.
II IS known that the maxims ofpoliCy by
which the British Government have been
actuated in sway ing their empire in India,
have until lately been of the most Jealous
and exclusive character An apprehension
that II the natives ofGreat Britain were per
mllted to settle there as landholders, they
would eventually liberate the country from
It's dependent situation, induced the British
rulers at an early period 10 prohibit their
SUBJECTS from purchasing or leasing lands
except Tor purposes purely commercial -
The consequence has been that the natives OF
India deprived Of British example and skill
are found cultiyating the soil with the same
rude instruments and in the same unskillul
manner which characterised them when the
country was first known to the Europeans.

THE DOG.

AT the late fire corner Of CORTLAND
and West streets, the following incident
occurred, which tends in striking de.
gree to illustrate the sagacity and fGeli-
ty of that most excellent animal, the
dog.
A young man slept in the third story
of the building in which the fire origin
ated. His dog, lying by his bedside,
scented the fire which had broken out
below. He Immediately endeavored to
awake his master by laying his fore
paws on his breast, and drawing them
gently over his body. The young man
aroused himself, but not suspecting the
object of the animal. fell again to sleep.
The dog then seized the bed clothes, and
stripped them off his master, who Sc
cond time covered himself up, and went
to sleep. The dog, aware that no more
time was TO be lost, took hold of the
young mans shirt with his teeth, and
tore it from his arm. At this moment
the flames were bursting into his cham
Der, and he saved his life, by descending
the tackle fall, which he threw out of the
window, hand over hand. The worst of
the story remains to be told. In his hur-
ry to escape destruction, the young man
forgot that his preserver had no means of
descent, and burst into flood of tears on
finding that he could not return to save
him. The faithful creature periShed!

vocates of the indiscriminate slaughter
of this Mailman, half-beast, read the
foregoing fact-aDd pause.

MISSOURI FRONTIER.
Yesterday an express arrived in this
place from Fort Pike with letters to Gen.
Means, requesting a reinforcement of
men would be sent to that place immedi-
dtety. The commandant of the Fort,
Capt. Mase, had received letter from
Major Philcher, the Agent for the Sac
and Fox Indians. Mr.. p. thinks it ne
cessary that our frontier should be
strongl " guarded, the sooner the better.
He states that Black Hawk had cross
ed to this side of the Mississippi, and
would be joined by the Indians at Flint
Hills, about $50 in number, which u
nited, would make force of about
800 warriors. The letter also states,
that Gen. Hughs, the agent for the Sacs
and Ioways, arrived at Fort Pike on
the 4th inst. from tour of examination
among the different tribes Of Indians on
the frontiers. Gen. H., from circum.
stances which came within his obserya-
ton, givesit as his opinion, that an aIli-
ance exists between the Ioways, Sacs,
Foxes, Snd Winnebagoes, and that
desperate struggle will be the result, the
bruntof which must fall upon the from
tiersof Missouri.
From the means OF information pos
sessed by Gen. Hughs and Major Pilch-
d, and their extensive acquaintance
with the Indian character, their advice
and opinions should be relied upon, and
prompt and energetic measures adopted
accordingly and not to wait until the
very doors of our citizens are assailed by
the savage foe, made bold by despera-
ton. Many of the Indians OH this side
of the River, have relations belonging to
Black Hawks army, and a constant
communication has been kept up be-
tween them. 1t is reported that many
Of the Indians who have been encamped
at the Flint Hills, have lately left that
place, for what purpose is unknown
They have waited anxiously to see the
result of the campaign in Illinois, and
now that Black Hawk has crossed his
forces to this side ofthe Mississippi, they
are dispensing in small parties.

THE NEW TARIEE

Assoon as we receive correct copy of
the new Tariff law, we shall lay it be-
fore our readers. The National Intelli-
gencer says, "H is emphdticaliy bill
Of compromise" that "great and merito-
Tto"s, and patriotic hare been the conces-
sions to alleged suffering in one part Of
he country, 6y their brethren in another"
believing as we do, that the best in
terests of our country forbade any re-
duction of the present duties on such
foreign articles as come into COMPETE
tion with the Manufactures of our coun-
try, although we would not impugn the
motives of very many of those who vot-
ed fol- the New Tariff, we cannot ex.
tend TO them themeed o(merit, or patriot
ism for so doing-Our imports of Wool
lens, cottons, and iron, with its manu-
features, amounted in 1880, to nineteen
and half millions, and in 1881, TO hir-
ty-Seren and q half millions of dollars. -
Our imports of woollen goods from 1880
TO 1881, increased from fire to upwards
OF thirteen millions-and in 1880 we i'm
ported only 667 pounds of wool, and in
1881 upwards of $500, 900 pounds =
o. We ask if it can be good policy-if
1t is sate-to reduce the duties under
such an increasing importation.
During last year the British took on
ly about SIXTY thousand dollars worth of
all the grain and bread-stufls fthis coun-
try-and the balance of trade against the
United States during the same year, was
upwards of eleren millions of dollars =
