ENGLAND.
The Reform BILL, it is alrendy known,
was TO he called up for second reading IN
the House of Lords, on the 9th: and, as US
ual, there were all SORTS of speculation
touching its fate. The majority, either way,
it is agreed on all hands must he extremely
small, without the creation OF new Peers
consequently the friends of Reform are urg-
ing this measure with great vehemenre,
and loudly complaining Of the Kings re-
missness in this particular
The affairs of Holland and Belgium are
still in confused condition, and the people
of both countries in state Of much aglta-
ton. PreparaIions continue on both sides,
for the worst results Of the pending nego-
tation.
The Rev. HENRy IRvING, says London
paper, had another field-,lay at lsng'on
Yesterday. The numbers present were Va
riouslv estimated at from 1000 TO 1000.
After reading part Of the 24th chapter of
Isaiah, the Rev. gentleman poured forth his
denuncia,ions against sin for mt least an
honr and three quarters, without experience
iug the least interruption from the motley !
crowd hy which he was surrounded. Mr.. /
Irving frequently announced the approach /
ing destruction Of the world, as the conse-
ouence of munkind's peIversty in rejecting /
the new doctrine Of the tongues. London,
because of lis superlatlge wickedness, would /
he the first example of the judgments Of
God and, as this metropolis mad been IA
vored above ali other places, the judgments /
upon it would he in the same proportions
fearfnly terrible. After the service, Mr..
Irving, accompanied by Mr.. Armstrong and
several other friends, proceeded through
Islincton and PeMtonvlle, followed by p
crowd of 200 or 300 nersons. Britannia
field. which has been chosen by Mr. Irving
fer these displays, is now called THE
Field of the Tongues"

true.

have been arrested on suspicion of poison

of Il wine merchant when he was qnite

held him until her cries b. ought her hus-
band and others to her assistance.
The villain was Immediately taken to
corps de grade, where two others were
brought Immediately after, charged with
the same offence. The people were so en-
ragged. that they would have killed them
had it been in their power.
In another insinnse of the kind n man
entered the shop Of a milk woman and ash
ed for some warm milk, which she gave him
in measure, and he poured il into a cup
he took from under part of his dress. He
then put his fingers into it for the pretended
purpose of feeling whether it was warm,
and ying it was cold, attempted to throw
it again into the milk pail but feeling
SORE suspicion from the reports in circnla-
ton, and not altogether liking the appear

the lid Of the pail, suatched the cup from
his hand, and threw the milk into the gutter.
