FIVE DAYS HEER FROM ENGLAND; :.

By the packet sMP Shefheid, capt. tiacks'ah'
from Liverpool, London papers Of the 9TH OF
March. and Liverpool Of the 9th, both inclusive,
with Shipping and Commercial intelligence up to
the day OF sailing, have been received at New
York.
England The Reform Bill yet drass in the
House Of Commons, and the Reformers are be-
coming more and more alarmed as to its ultimate
fate. An article in the Times, OF the 9TH, speaks
despondingly, but still in very threatening and
indignant language to the Premier. Evidences
of similar feelings of alarm are exhibited IN other
journals. The impression seems now to be that
It is Earl Grey himself who faulters notwlthstand-
ing all his fair promises, even with fuli power
from the King to create as many Peers as may
be necessary to carry the Bill IN any form he
chooses
The anti.reformers among the Peers have been
very active in their preparations for the reception
of he Bill in the Lords, but have not exactly
determined upon the best course to be pursued.
There are two classes Of the opponents of the
Bill-those who, with the Duke Of Wellington
at their head, are uncompromising in their hosti-
lily to all reform Whatsoever, and those who are
in favor of partial reform, but opposed to the
sweeping provisions of the present bill at the
head of whom are the Earl of Harrowby and
Lord Wharnclife. The former are in favor OF
again throwing out the Bill without allowing it to
gu to d second reading. The latter are in favor
OF allowing It second reading, and then amend
ins it 80 as to strip it of its most radical features.
A correspondence upon the subject has taken
place between the Duke Of Wellington and Lord
H,rrowby. The Duke threatens that. should
Earl Grey attempt to create batch OF Peers to
carry the bill, himself and twenty Peers evil
take their leave Of the House altogether"
A meeting of the Medical Society Of London
took rlace at their ROOMS IN BOlt-court. Fleet
street. d.. Borne in the chair. The subject OF
discussion wa, the Cholera, and several eminent
medical men delivered their opinions respecting
thai disorder. The general opinion appeared to
be that exaggerated statements had been put forth
respecting 1t, that the disease now ex'si z was a
mild Que, and If taken IN time could be cured.
Mo,i Of those pres sent conquered In the opinion
that the want of proper food and comforts was
the main cause of cholera. MIR. Shirley de-
scribed several cases Of cholera which had come
under his observation, and said he had good evil
d.nce for asserting that the City of London was
never in more healthy state than al present.
We have received the following distressing in
,elligence from valued correspondent. on whose
accuracy we can place the fullest reliance:
"PLYMourH, March S.-You will be concern
ed to hear that the Katherine Stewart. Forbes,
which sailed from London on the 25th OF Februa-
~ with ESQ eonvicts, for New South Wales,
reached Plymouth Sound at O'Clock on Friday
afternoon. in circumstances of the most depor-
able nature.
After leaving the Thames it appears that one
of the cunvicls was attacked with cholera morbus,
and died IN the course of short time, and his
body cast into the sea. Upon the arrival of the
vessel i'm Plymouth SQUAD it was discovered that
SCI, eraI of the men were seriously i'll with the
same complaint; but. although there was sur
geon on board. the ship was entirely destitute OF
such medicines as were necessary in this case.
The most prompt and humane attentions were
Immediately given bv Sir Manly Dixon. the Port
Admiral, and ]. Wright, Esq the Collector Of
the Customs in the port OF Plymouth.
This evening, Saturday, it has been ascertain.
ed that two others are dead, and seventeen more
have been attacked. of whom seven are in an en-
tireiy hopeless state. Considerable apprehen-
SONS are entertained lest the disease should en-
ter the town of Plymouth, especially as the wind
has been all the day blowing in such a direction
as TO carry any infection towards the town. A
government steamer has been ordered to tow her
out Of the Sound into the Channel, so that she
NAV get in to quarantine either at Stangate Greek
or Milford Haven. Record

as relates to the present SYSTEM is now question
concluded, and the examination before the Com |
mittees of the Lords and Commons for any prac-
teal purposes of propping it up by Legislative
crutch, no longer have Importance, even in the
Imagination Of tithe-fed dotard. Both the
Lords and Commons have recommended the
complete extinction of the system. and the pub
lie attention Is now directed only to the fea- |
sibilit, Of the proposed plan of substitution.
This is well. The system has only been main
tanned in Ireland bv means Of the executions Of
