LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

New York from Liverpool, whence she sailed
on the ls,h of April,) London papers 10 the III"
of April have been received.
The Reform Bill was brought up for its Sc.
cond read,dy in the Lords, on the 9th. 1t was
supoosed that the question would have been Ia
Ken before the close Of the sitting OF the 10th, as
EarI Grey had issued a circular. requesting q
FIJI attendance Of the friends of the Bill that
evening. After a long and spirited debate, how
ever. the question was again adjourned. The
Dake of Wellington made a strong speech
.vsiost the Bill ON the 10th. The Earl OF Had
diostou has given notice of his intention, should
the nresent bill be lost. to introduce a bill by
vay of a compromise Of this agitating question.
lard W,araciift. made an able speech IN favor
Of allowing the bill to be read a second time
and sent TO a Committee of the Whole. 1t
could there be amended, or perhaps got rid OF
altogether. So, e.. Nh. IS
Wellington. in disputing the benefits to the
French of their late revolution, he stated the In
por,ant fact, that al no period during the reign
Of I,ouis XVIII. and Charles X, did it require
more than from 500 to 1000 men to keep the
peace Of Paris; but since the revolution, mere
>hsx not been a month in the course OF which o.
600 men in arms have not been necessary Tor the
same purpose.
Lord Peterborough made a very able speech
against the Bill on the 9th.
The debates were very animated, anu, al
times, much more personal than nave peeh usua'
in the House Of Lords.
The Morning Chronicle speaks doubtinglyl as
TO the result, but is rather inclined to believe
that the bill will be ordered to- second reading
by a very small majority.
The Liverpool Courier of the llth' a moderate
Tory paper says. at appears to be anticipated
that the Reform Bill will be carried, according to
some who affect to be wise on these points, by
SIX. or according TO others by twelve or fourteen
votes. Carried it probably will be, bu; on all
hands il is agreed bv a small majority.
L.oSpoN, April 1.-THE DEBATE on the Sc
cond Reading OF the Reform Bill IS again ad-
5 iourned.
All sorts Of reports are in circulation on the
subject of the division. Some think that the
moi,ep Of the Duke Of Buckingham will have the
,H,rt of deriving ministers of several votes. -
The general persuasion, however, is that Minis
,ers will carry the second reading by a small ma
iori,y. Provided only there be a majority, the
smaller the better. as il will render it the more
necessary TO secure the bill against any mutlia-
,ion in its subsequent stages. The Duke OF
Buckingham, BY strengthening the minority, may
thus unintentioually be the means OF promoting
real reform.
The motion Of the Dixie Of Buckingham was
10 be made only in case the second Ieadlag
should be negatlved. In that case, 1t was MS
intention. he said, on the 10th Of April, to bring
in a bill tor giving two representatives IN fariia'
ment to those large towns. which, by their opu.
lence and commercial Importance, were entitled
to be represented, although at present they were
not represented. This WOULD be the hrst object
of the bill. A second object Of the bill would BE-
10 conjuin and consolidate certain boroughs,
each Of which now returned twOm members to
Parliament so as to return two members for the
consolidated boroughs; the purpose Ut this being
to prevent the inconvenience OF an addition to the
present numbers of the House OF Commons by
The introduction of members for places not be-
fore represented. And a third provision OF the
bill would be to extend the elective franchise to
persons not now entitled to vote. so as to pre-
vent the abuse Of the elective franchise in bo-
roughs.
Cholera in England. The report made to the
Board of Health on the 10th, announces 30 new

THE CHOLERA IN PARIS.
Paris papers were 10 the oh o' np'u',ne'us',e
The cholera was advancing with fearful progress
.ion and has become a formidable pestilence in
the capital. NJ. Casimir Perier, the President OF
the Council, and some others Of distinction had

From the Moniteur.
The malady Of the President OF the Council,
of the nature of which there was considerable M
certainty. has presented symptoms which leave
no doubt Of its being the cholera morbus.
The most beneficial remedies have been happi-
ly resorted to in good time, and the progress OF
the disease has thereby been arrested. FROM 'he
st,te m which the President of the Council now
is, there is every reason to hope that he will short
" become convaleseent.
