Again we have latest European news BY
the Josephine, from Belfast. This vessel arrived
on Thursday night bringing London and Liver
pool papers to the 2lst of April, and Belfast pa
pers to the 24th Paris dates are to the 10Th OF
the month-That the Reform Bill had received
Its second reading in the House of Lords, by vote
OF lS4 to IT'S, is the most interesting political in
teligsnce; while the melancholy history of the
ravages Of the Cholera in Paris takes precedence
among all other subjects which claim our notice
We mention first the passage ofthe Reform Bill
through the ordeal Of its second reading in the
House Peers This news may be no less unex-
pee ted than acceptable to some among our readers
since, only twenty -four hours before the arrival OF
of IT, Josephine, report had been published
Brought by the Splendid from Hamburger, which
was hen the latest channel of European news,
affirming that the bill was rejected by majority
of three Although the proba biities appeared
strong against the accuracy Of this account, yet

not be denied 1t was agreeable surprise, then

IN their very next paper that most conclusive ref-
tatlon which is afforded by directly opposite
statement, on UNREASONABLE authority The bill
was brought up on the 9th, and it was commonly
supposed the question would be taken within
day or two at farhest. But the discussion was
protracted by great number OF speakers until the
18th. The friends of the Bill, according to the
published statements, calculated on fourteen orr
1iteeh as their majorityof votes, but the Courier
declared its opinion on the 10th that a majority
OF seven or eight was all that Earl Grey expect
ed. The result shows that this calculation was
not less close than correct.
