3 Days Later from England.

BY the packet ship England, capt. Max
well, which sailed from Liverpool on the Sh
of Sept. the editors of the Commercial Ad-
vertiscr have their files of London journals to
the 9Th and Liverpool to the Sth inclusive
!, The house of commons has displayed Il
very unexpected degree Of complaisance.
having agreed to many of the amendments to
the corporation reform bill, adopted by the
lords. A committee Of conference was then
appointed to lay before the lords the reasons
of the commons for opposing some of the IL
mendments--and mediately after, the con-
solidatcd fund bill, with the appropriation
clause, was passed-at the solicitations OF
the chancellor of the exchequer, Mr.. Hume
wishing II farther postponemcnt until the
course ofthe lords in the matter Of the omcnd-
mcnts should be known.
i Lord John Russell went up to the lords
with the reasons, &c. of the commons, at
tended by nearly all the members present.
The lords appointed to manage the confer
cncc were, the lord privy seal, duke Of Rich
mond, earl of SALISBURY, bishop of Bristol,
lord Aukland, lord Melbourne, and yscouni
Ilathcrton.
On the next day, 4th Of September, the
amendments of the commons were taken up
and discussed at great length, and the most
important of them were agreed to. They
adhered however to their former decision on
the clause relative to the appointment of
magistratcs-who, by the bill as originally
passed, were to be elected by the people, but
the lords amendments vested their appoint
ment in the king, and to this amendment they
have adhered.
A committee was appointed by the lords
to draw up reasons for not agreeing to all the
or pHtno nff bn cnp,mnps-thpy 10 pra
reasons which were presented on Saturday
the 9Th of September, and agreed to.
The approach to agreement between the
two houses, is no doubt to be ascrbcd, in
part at least, to the very cOnciatory speech
of Sir Robert Peel. The general impression
was that the bill would finally pass both hou-
ses with nearly all the amendments Of the
lords.
The registration ofvotes bill for Ireland
was thrown ont of the house of lords on the
2nd. by majority of iifty-four.

Mr.. ADAMS receives no quarters from any

vile. We copy the following from Mr.. Van
Buren's organ, the n. Y. Times.

subjoin as pretty specimen Of good hatred
as we recollect 10 have seen for many day.
1t is expended OH poor Mr. Adams, whose last
letter, true as in the man it is-has lost him
the respect of his old political associates,
while it has failed to win him the confidence
OF those who have all along opposed him, and
whose favor he seems now disposed to con-
clliate. The devil may quote scripture for his
purpose, and we may'rely on the fidelity of "a
picture drawn even by John Quincy Adams
If from our own personal experience we know
1t to be a correct delineaton. But to those
who ask, Is Mr.. Adams about to abandon the
wings, and join himselfto our side? we have
only to say, God forbid! Whether we regard
him as ian old man broken down with the
storms Of state" for whose political nconsis-
tencies III hls latter days, we must pay all
charity on account Of his age and many in
firmltlcs, or as one whose faculties time has
thus tar spared and preserved in their full
maturity, and whose political summcrsets pro-
ceed from conviction, we have only to say,
may he ever be against Us rather than with
us. His name is synonymous with defeat
lie seems to bear about him an evil eye that
blasts all that it looks on. Honest and true
men avoid the political circle in which he
moves, as # he were the very incarnation of
the spirit of mischief if they are charitable

come their dupe and their victim. IF they
Admit his virtues, they curse them when they
are the undoing of the cause of his friends.-.
They want a man in whom they can coutde.

ample not alone Of short sightedness, but of
triskeIy, treachery, inconsistency, faithless-
ness. IL would seem as If his whole object

MARYLAND ELECTIONs.-The Wings in
Maryland have carried the state gallantly a
ganst Van Buren and his men-aided ty the
patronage of the general government. At
the last congressional election, the Jackson

only two. The Wings have now elected five

The GREAT WESTERN RAIL RoAD.-A
very numerous meeting was held at Fanieul
Hall, Boston, on "Wednesday evening of last
week, for the purpose Of taking into consid-
Grafton the subject of the Western Rail Road,
and the expediency of adopting measures 10
promote it. 1t appears by the able report
made by the committee previously appointed,
that about two thirds of the requisite amount
of Stock has been subscribed estimated
cost being about two millions. Resolutions
were adopted and committees appointed to
solicit subscriptions to the capital stock
This rail road which is to extend from Alba
ny to Boston will pass through the whole
length Of the state Of Massachusetts,, and
through the centre of three western counties,
to the Hudson river, where it will unite, at
two or three points, near the centre of the
state Of New York, with the great channels
accommodation already established, leading
to the st. Lawrence on the North, to the
great Lakes in the West, and to the city of
New York in the South. The benefits result
ing from this Rail Road will be ncalculabc
if fully completcd-and there is but little
doubt that il eventually will be.

ARREsT.-A man by the name of Wilson
was apprchended in this town on Saturday
last, by an officer from Kingston, Upper Cana
da, charged with stealing. 1t appears that
Wilson was an Inn-keepcr at Kingston, U. 9.
and had absconded about the last of August
with money belonging to one of his boarders
amounting to $4,000 in specie. His mystic
rious absence and the loss of the money ca,ls.
ed suspicion TO fall on him, and on intercept
ing letter directed to his wife, it was asccr-
tanned that he had shaped his course for New
port, X. I. where nc wished her 10 meet him
or write between the lst and 10th of October.
lie arrived here on Friday evening, the 9th,
in the Boston Stage, and took lodgings at
Hassard's. The officer from Canada, who
was one day in advance of him, called at the
Post Office on Saturday, and in company
with Constable Of this place, Mr.. Daniel
Brown, remained until Wilson appeared and
called for his letter. On arresting him they
demanded the money he had stolen, and with
out the least resistance, he accompanied
them to his lodgings, and readily gave up all
in his possession, amounting to nearly $500.
Wilson was large, fine looking man, had
kept very respectable house and previously
sustained an excellent character in Canada.
lie was much affected on being taken, and cvi-
denty sorry for this his first offence. lie
left here on Monday with the officer in the
steamboat for New York, on their return to
Canada. Alas! for the depravity of poor hu-
man Dature!

MR.. ADAMS LETTER ACCOUNTED roR.
We have liberty TO publish the sub
joined extract from private letter OH
that subject:
"Dear .Sir--I have received your letter of
the -, in which, among other things,
you ask if any cause, and if any what partic-
ular cause has produced the especial wrath
Of Mr.. Adams against the Wing Party Of
Rhode -Isand-which boils over at such a
rate in his letter TO Pearce, and which the
teaky ressd could not contain within itsell?-
In answer to your enquiry | can only say for
myself, that fascribe his angry feelings to his
modification in being worsted and disgraeed
in controversy which he sought and began
himself for ] know of no other cause fo-
them. II Is in my opinion the ebullitlon of
wounded vanity and inundated pride. You
may recolect that several years ago our Le-
gisature appointed a committee on the me-
moral Of the Antimasons, to investigate and
report upon the charges against masons and
masonry. The committee performed the du-
ty assigned them, and their report was adopt
ed by the Legislature. Mr.. Adams thought
proper to attack this report with great bitter
ness oftemper and rudeness Of manner; max
ing charges against the committee OF the
grossest character. This attack was borne
with silently for some time; but at length it
was replied to by the chairman of the COM
mttee, in vindication Of their proceedings;
and replied to in such manner as to give to
Mr. Adams his q,nctus Oh that subject. Mr..
Adams mas never replied to that reply, and !
hazard nothing in predicting that he never
will; for among other things it convicts him Of
having talsifed record to aid his argument,
and to impose upon the public. His rage un-
der this defeat and disgrace, has been boiling
in his breast ever since; and as he dare not
vent it upon the author of the reply he vents
it upon his party. Hence his slang about
Conrention Federalism aud Royd
.4rd Masonry.

has placed himself"

informed them of the offences of which they
stood charged, which they in no very mild
terms denied, and made some high toned re-
marks which rather served to put the magis-

out commitment for them, and they were es-
cortcd to Bridewell by some fifteen or twen-

gradation led them into squabble with the
keeper, in which the noble Marquis was
foorcd, as was also one of his companions
Here they rcmnincd several hours; but were

Tie remembrance of interesting events
whcl have long since past, crowd irresistiby
uponthe mind when we view the feeble re-
lies which, amidst all tho ravages of time con-
tinu to confirm the record Of history, Let
us visit the ancient hall Of legislation, or the
deserted walls of the fabric once used for re-
lgi,us worship, and we seem as it were ush-
erei into the presence Of the worthless who
one, bore a conspicuous part in the affairs
whi,h then moved the world, but who have
longsi entered into their final rest. These
and many. similar reflections were occasioned
on learning that the ancient house in front Of
Duke-street, was recently sold at public auc-
ten and is being demolished by the pmcha-

Dre interesting associations connected with

Purchaser of A1uetneck, and first Governor

actions. Here also George Fox, the founder
Of a sect who have long been as "city set

those around them, visited the patriarch Cod

the purity and excellence of his profession.

the original proprietor of this estate, which
