lmrl;AI.LL PIILR-Vl-lml:sw. I i HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. ApRtHl. I REFORM OF THE RerORM AcT.-Mr. SHARMA\ CR&WFOILD proceeded to brmp forward the motion of which he had gneo notice and after ctaiminx indulgence and a patient hearing frolD the House, he comphiiued of the influence exercised ovur etectiona by the aristocracy aod the inndiordt, nnd said that the people justly co'n- ptained that their voice was unt heard in thtt H')n-<e. He eootendfd that the promised cSects ffthe Reform Bill had not been reatizcd. The bxitot had been rej';cted. extension of suffrage had been refused, aod cq'tn) franchise to Iretand had been denied. Tha pco?'ie comp)tined th?t c)ass lee:¡s-I tation stiU prevaHe([, nnd monopotx'a were uphe)d. Whilst he (Mr. Crawford) was an advocate for the extension of the franchise to all mate adu)t9, he was fully aware that certain hmitations must be imposed. For instance, ait rLinor' !unatics, vagrants, and paupers must be excluded from the right of vatine and he was further of that every man who ctaimed to voteshnutd be registered as having been resident for some certain specified time in the district or borough for which his vote wai to be civen. It w:<s objected to such an t-xtcns-ion of the franchise as he tha, it would the of property. Property wouid be in no danger fro'n the people, fxeept where property raised itsctf gainst the rights of the people. The bext prote<;tio<! to the rights of property was to do justice to the rights of the people. (Hear.) The sec.,r,(i point was that of cqtlfiJisiog the representation, so as to make it accord with the amount of the population. Nothit'g could be more inconeruons than the existing law upon that point. The third point t* which be hedged to tcffrwasthe battot. Hfadmittfd that the hattotcoutd nut be regarded as a certain guard against bribery, but he was sati-fied that it would ten') in a very great decree to diminish it. One of the great objects that the law should bfive i" view wns the protection of the honest voter. He hetievfd that the ballot wou)d he efTrctua) f"r that purpose. The bai)ot atone n'ilrht uct be sumcientto present bribery; but extend the suffrage, shorten the duration of Parha- .nents, eud add to these the baUot.and hr.bery.hehetieved, wlluld cease. The fourth point involved in his proposition was the dispensinc with the property q'lahncation of members of Partiamcht. The Scotch members were not required '<! quaiify by property, and yet no man wouid say that the Scotch members were inferior to the Engtish or (rih. Nfl property qUltlitication required in the House f)f Lords. Let the legislature b<* consistent, there- fore, and do away with the property quatincatinn for Entftand and lrc!and. The only proper 11'1.1lification of the representative WitS ion and selection of the constituency. The fifth {joint he wished to urge was, that the of the people should reason- "ble he knew (If no other l11r.anll by which they be OIlIde ttrnrllutrhly responsible to con stitue!'eies. Whatever difference of opinion mit:ht exist as to the extent to which P-trtiamfnt! sho'i)d be shortened, ati Reformers were at teast agreed that the present dura- tioQ of much too lonlr. The hou. member pressed the subject on the øf the Houe, and hy resolutiun for 1111 inquiry into the six pOlDt lie to. Mr. Wattaee. Dr. Howring. Mr. WiHiams. and Mr. Ward, supported the motiun, and were of opinion that the Reform Bill was a failure. Sir J. GRAHAM said that he wou!d say a few words, in older that ttJe overnlllent not, hy its silence, expoe itse.fto the suspiemn of disrespect to the numerous cusses wi.o did not possess the elective franchise. The rea) practical question was neither more nor !ess than whether the constitution of Engtand shoutd continue to be a monarchy. Thf fra<nfrs of the Reform Bill had gone a" far as they thought it possihte to go in the admission of popular influence, consistently with the preservation of our institutions. Mr. O'CoXMEH. said. that though he had supported the Retorm Biii. he now desired utterior measures, because he bad been disappointel in it, bec;iuse ref'-rm had not reached the people. There were.. now two c)fnse!—a tnaster e!a<s. with votes and contrn!; a s)ave-e)a-t9, with- out tither the former cttfis a smatt, the tatter a numerous one. It was not true that property w:<s the principte of the present franchise. The freemen and the leaseholders were not possessed of their votes ia reject of property. Compare the numbers and property ot the Harwich and Thetford voters with the numbers and property of the voters in Tipperary and the W<-st Riding yet Tipperary and the West Riding had no more members than Harwich and Thetf<tfd. He claimed the right of the peop)e to trienniat Par)i*ments, and dfnounced the extent of the now existing bribery, fhe baitot won)d remedy this latter evil .at !eastio the more numerous constituencies. He !s,kw no necessity fur a property quatiSeation in members of Par'ian<ent. Mr. WAKLEY snpporteJ the motion, and shoutd like to "ee it brought torward, not once a session, but once a month. Mr. H. R. YoRKE referre d to the bribery and perjury connected with the tate etection to prove the necessity of a revision of the Reform Bit!. Fifty or sixty seats were soaght to be obtained in consequence of charts ot bribery and corruption most disgusting to the individuatt. and to the morai state of the country. E*en last week some cittnmstttnces had transpired which required especiat notice. An ejection committee had ?at upon the Sudbury eft'ction. and thuy had unanimousty reported not only that the tast election Was bad, and the conduct pursued infamous, but thMt the place itself was wholly unworthy of repre- sented, and they, therefore, unanimously recommended that it ehouid be disfranchised. This was what took place unde- the preseot system. Thel1, there was even now a committee sitting to try the (or the borough of Ipswich, and what werc the cirCllmf>tI\nces reported th:it very day ? Two individuals h;id been committed to New- gate for penury, and three who had voted were admitted and ackoowlldged knpives, rogues, and That was the preent system. (Cheers.) Was that system perfect* Mr. PROTMEKOE defended the Reform Em, but would support the motion for Mr. BEllS AL helievetl that the penpte had never been so steeped in corruption as since the Reform bi)). That &rme, probaidy. from the near equaiity of parties. Sir JoH-i EASTHOPE opposed the motion, regarding it as substantiaHy a proposat for the adoption of the chf! rter. Sir C. and VtLLIR3 5pokc in fa-eour of Mr. Crawford's resolutio..s. Sir ROBERT PKML, .licll1iming 1111 disrespect, either to the petitioners of the House or -0 Mr. Crawford, who had t0 fairly and temperateiy stntcd his case, woutd state his grounds for a decided opposition to the motion. He haft prophesied, at the passing of the Reform Bii). that it woutd be his fate to defend it from its warmest supporters. Itwascouttuded that representation shotted be coequa) with taxation; but that principte, based, as was alleged, on the "iaws of nature," was met by these very iaws. and rendered inappticabte, a'! in the case of women. One of theargurncnta for annua) partiaments was buitd on great &ttroco'n:cal and commercia) principles, such as that the earth uerforms its aoouat revolution round the sun, nnd that merchant! annual' StUie their account*.

The ahltence of Lord John Rnd the late ministers hRd been commented on; manners opposite eoutd retaliate by flaying a" "y next night on the second reading of the Income Tax Bit). Mr. MuNTZ supported the motion for inqniry. Mr. E. TcHNEBr opposed the principte nfannna) par!ia- ments. which he viewed M being titteiy to be pecutiaWy dfttructive of the interests of the pcopte. He thought abundant evidence of this fact had been afforded by the procefdinga in the municipal ttecdom in the boroughs throughout the kiogdnta. Mr. CoaoEM and Mr. HoMUCx were to favoar of Mr. Crawford's mntioa. Lord STANLtY. as one of those who had been a party to the Reform B'ti. denied that the franchise had ever heen considered f;t an inherent right. It was a (;reat potiticat phvit€f:e. which bad heeu largely extended, from a convic- tion that the thne waa COme" hen it wa: !3fc to do so. He had joined with Lord John Russell and the Whics of those days. <n declaritig that it was not safe to have a n.vnintion every tenyearB: he was sorry that the oobte tord and his cottengues were not present to aid hhn in eay ng to now. He fe!t it to be his duty to resist this crude motion, which uoMttted everything and settled nothing. Sir Thomas WUde opposed the motion, and Sir R. Peet vinnicatcd bitntftffrotn the charge of levity brought against iiiin by Mr. Roebuck. After a scene of much confusinn and boi"tt'rous hUanty, occasioned by a motion for adjourn- ment by Mr. Biewitt.the house divided on Mr. Crawford's motion, when there appeared— For it, 67 against it, 226. The TifO'tcr Ships' bin was considered in committee, and reported to the House with amendments. The report on the Copyricht Bill was brought up, ordered to be reprinted with the amendments, and to be recommitted on TuesdRy. The remailling orders of the day were then ditpoeed of. and the Houle adjourned. FRIDAY. APRIL M. I THE IseoME TAX.—After the Hon. W. T. L?ce!!t's had taken his seat fur Wakefield. nnd several petitions were presented sgaiast the income tax, on the order of the day for the second reading of the Property.tax Bill being moved t'y theChaoceifor ufthe Exchequer, Mr. C. BuLLEK rose to move thst the bill be read. second txne that dRY six months. Having had an oppor- tunity of perusing the bill as prioted, be was, be Sttid, now Mtbted to point out the inquisitorial character of !0)ne of the aectiooft; and he argued that a bit) to which such machinery was requisite cou)d not be one which the House of Commons ought to pasf. The amount of revenue to be raised by it was too sma)t to be worth raising at such a price. The bi)). however, was counted with a taritf. hotdiog out a hope of free trade. He wished he cnutd be sure that any matpria) freedom of trade woutd be obtained J by it; but Sir Robert Feet wat "upportiog it with the mnat contradictory arguments. When members of the I opposition Mere to be concihated, the right hoo. bart. told them that provisions would be cheapened but when the alhimed agricultllrists were to be appeased, the right hoo. I baronet a.surM) them there won!d be no materia) redttctioo in price!.

It was an action tried at Worcester during the fate assizes, invotving the rights of the ptaintifT. MS )ord of the mttonr, to the (nitterats. con- sisting chicny of coats and time, on certain estat<) hetd by the defendant under a copyhotd tenure. After a tt!a). which lasted two days, a verdict wa3 found for the defendant. Sir Thomas now moved to set a-<ide the verdict, and for a new trial on various points connected with the evidence adduced on the trial. The Court granted a ruie to sho<' cause. THE DuXK OF DORSET v. LORD HAWARDKX.—This case came before Sir Hfrbert Jenner. at the Prerogative Court, on Wednesday.

Lent: tried at the Cambridge Assizes, when the jury te-md the defendant guilty on an information for bribery. He moved to set)<si<)e the verdict on two grounds -6,-st, that one of the jurymen had, before the triai, dfctared his intention to convict the dtfendant; and, second)y,thnt the jurors had not been kept without in- terruption durihg their')e)iher')tiotts. As to the first point, he produced the ;imda%it of Mr. Reveiey, who stated that. on the night before the triat. he was in the Royal Oak pu'))ic-housewhenMr. J. Lawson, one of the spcetal jurymen, came in, nrjd the Pipprorchirg trial becominc tnatter of eonversHtion. said, L,,ag is a d-d humbug, and oui:bt to be convicted." On whicn it was remarked that, if that was his opinion, he was not qualified to sit on the jut y. Lttwson replied, that there were plenty of Tories on the jury, and that there outfht to &e some Whig-s on it. Upon the afcond point, there wereaeverat arHdavits, which showed that, when the jurytnen retired to consider their verdict, they went into the grand jury-room, and there the door was frcouentty left without the care of an officer, people goinz if) aud out at their pleasure. The tourt granted a rule. THE COURTS OF CHANCERY.—la consequence of re- presfnthtions with respect to the inconvenience of having the Vicf-Channt-I ora (Bruce and Wigrain) sitting at a distancf frtxn the other courts, the Lord Chance!tor has directed all th(; courts of equity to be retuoved to Lincoin'a Inn. THE BANK OF ENGLAND v. TOMK!X9—THE Ex- cnEQUERBtLLFnAUD.—At the sitting of the Courtof Exchequer on Thursday, Mr. Erie tuoved for a rute to ? how cause why the verdict in this case, tried by Lord Abinger, at the sittings after the HIlary term. when a verdict was taken for the Bank, damages S,oool., s))OMi<t not be set aside andanewtria) granted on the ground of misdirfCti"n. It appeared on thf triaf, that thf defendant h'ul deposited eteven Exchequer Bittsf"r!.000/each with the Bitnk, and that the Bank advanced 11,0001. on this se- curity, un'ter the agreftnent that if the money ildvauct-d was not forthcoming on a certain day, the Eauk might st-H the Exchequer Bifia. The defendant pa'd 3.000<. within the time specinfd, and had back three of hia Exchequer Biits, but the others remained in the plaintiff's hands. an04 those Exchequer BiHs afterwards appeared to have been forged as 'expected the signature. Mr. Bllron Parke. "The CMe is quite clear. The bank was to advance money on genuine bit)s. The bttts deposited were forgeries. The bank had, therefore, aright to Jemand :he repayment of the money advanced. If the defendant had any ctnim on the Exchequer BiH. oHice, on the ground of negligence, that was entirety a different question. The defendant might bringanaction on the case, or brs e)aims woutd be taken intoconsidcratinn with those ot other persons who h'td the forged MUs." The other Barons concurred, and the rute was refused.

In con- sequence of his depredanons she had piactd him in the Chetsea work hOllie, but h<- absconded with a suir of the wo) !houe clothing, a"" returned home and robbed her HCaiQ.

He had been in custody since August, t839. The Court ordered him to be discharged forthwith. In a case in this Court on Tuesday, invotviog the sacri- fice of property befogging to the wife, the learned Commis- sioners observed that marriage settlements now-a-dnys were not the slighte, were not the slightest security to married wnman, though they shouid hawe referenM to their future comfort, ioas. much as they generally contained a ctause or ctauses euab!- ioc thfir trustees to tend their marriage r.ortions to their husbands atfnost imnDediHtetyupon their marriage. DiLLON V, DtLLOM.—Oo tfiday, at the Consistory Cotiit, Sir Stephen Lu;,biogton delivered j-'dgfatat in this case. which was an application by Dr. Dii'oo, ,he ce!e. brated preacht-r, for a divorce, on the ground that his wife hadcotnaait'ed adultery. Aftera careful investigation of the whn)e, Dr. Luhiugt()D said this was more ofacnminat than a civit case; and, consequeotty, the wife ought to have the benefit of the doubt which exit-ted. The learoed doctor, after some further comments, conch ded bis judg ment (the delivery of which occupied nearty an hour and a ba)f) hy dismissing the npptication for a divorce.

A ex M A c u ILI n n I
A ex M A c u ILI n n I LtQU!D MANURE. I It wou!d appear, from some experiments of Dr. Betcher, that the ammoniacat satts of urine have a forcing or sthnutating power which considerabiy has- tens the vegetation of ptants. His experiments were made with the common garden cress, and. in histtiats. some plants a' urished with a sotution of phosphate of ammonia were nfteen days forwarder than plants growing under simitar c"cumstances, but watered with plain water. tn some experiments of Mr. Gre- gory, who wateted hatfa grass field at Leyton with urine, the portion thus treated yielded nearty double the quantity of hay produced by the other unmanured proportion: and the use of the utine of the cow, so extensiveiy emp)oyed for grass )ands, and m the gar. den and orchard, by Mr. Ha'toy, in the neighb"urhood of Gtasgnw, was attended with results equatty satis- factory. producing when diluted with water or soap- suds, very superior crops of grass on tandofavoy inferior description, t shatt conoude wittt a few ob- servations on the toss which the cultivated lands of Engtand incessantly sustain from tht' nl(lect "f the !iq)))d manure of the sewers of her cities and tarjfe towns—a question to which! have before aHuded in this paper, and which is not nearty so <'<*)) understood as is desir.tbte. Thus, by carefully conducted experi- tt.ents, and very accurate gaugings, it has been fo'jnd that the chief London sewers convey dai)y into the Thames about HS.OOO tons of mixed drainage, consist- ing, on an average computati"n, of one partofsotid and twenty-five parts abso)ute!y Ouid matters: but if we on)y allow one part in fhirty of this immense mass to be composed of so)id substances, then we liai e the )arRe quantity of more than 3.800 tons of sotid manure dady poured into th" river from London atone, con- ststmit prtnopaHy of excrements, soot. and the debris of the London streets, which is chieSy carbonate of time; thus. aHowtng twenty tons of this manure as a dresinsf for an acre of ground, thereiscvidenttva quantity of so)id manure, annuatty poured into the rive)-, equat to fcrtilisiiig more than 60,000 acres of the poorest cultivated tand! The quantity of food thus tost to the country by this heedtess waste ot manure is enormous, for, only aHowing one crop of wheat to be raised on these 50,000 acres, that woutd be equa! to the n)H)ntenance (calculalillg upon anaveratre produce of three quarter!; of wheat per acre) of taO.OOO persons. London, too. is onty one hu?e in- stance of this thouKhttess waste of the acricuttnrat rtches of the soH of England- from every other hnK"sh Ctty, every town, every hamlet. is hourty passing <nto the sea a proportionate waste of tiquid manure; and t have only tpokenofthesotidorme- chanicatty suspended matters of the sewerage; the absotutety Htttd portton is still rich in urine, am. moniaca) satts, soda. &c., when all the mechanicaHy su'-pended matters have been separated from the other portion. According to vety carefui experiment; this nuid part often contains sixteen per cent.of anima) matters, satts. &c., intimateiy or chemicaHy combined with the water. Nu farmer, after such an analysis of the sewerage of a tars;e city. can fee) surprised at the important re- sn)ts from the use of that sewer water, so ltirig practised in the vicinity of Hdioburtfh. After teaming the c.mposihonofsuch a foul mass—its endtess mixture of organic matter: its so't—its carbonate of time— and. above aH, its urine, the forcing nature of the ammoniaca! sa)ts which that <!uid contains, added to the presence of the other matters which are the food otptants, and the constant supptycf such irrigation water in all aeasons-he wiH readi)y e:ive credence to the taiented editor of the Q14,11-tei-ty Journrit of Agl'i- cultitte, whrn he asserts, that by such treatment of the HdinburK" meadows with the sewerage irrigation they have been increased in value several pounds per acre yearty. (jUAN()- The sterHe soils of the South American coast are manured with a substance catted Uuano, consisting of urate of ammonia, and other ammoniacat sa)t"thy the use of which a tuxuriant vegetation and the richest crops are obtained. Guano has )atdy been imported in considerat.te quantity into Eii,,rfariti, and is now experimentaUy onpt'-yed as a manure by Ena:)ish agriculturists. A co .sideratior) of its com- position and mode of action cannot therefore fait to he acceptahtf. Muf-h specutation has arisen as to the true '"hin of (iuatio, but the most certain pfM<fia now afforded, that it has been produced by the accu- mn)ationoftheexcre")ent;) of inttumerabte sea few). which inbabU the stands upon which it is found. Meyen, the tatest writer upon this su!)j<-ct. Comptetety c.'ir'cidcs with this opi.non. for, he sa\s. th.-ir num. her is fesion; they comptetcty ctoud the sun, when they rise from their resting ptace in the morning in nochs of mites in length. Yet notwithstanding their threat number, thousands of years must have etapsed before the excrements coutdhave accuu'utfted t0 such a thickness as they possess at present. Uuano has been used by the Peruvians as a manure since the twetfth century, and its value was considered so ines- timabte, that the government of the Incas issued a decree, by which capita) punishment was indicted upon any person found destroying the few! on the (tuano istands. Overseers were a!so appointed over each province, for the purpose of insuring them fur. ther protection. Under this state of things the accu. n utations of the excrements may have well titken place. All theac regulations are however now aban- doned. Rivero states that the annuat consumption of Guano for the purposes of agri(-ulttirt-, amounts to forty thousand fanegas, The increase of crops obtained by ft e use of Cnano is very remarkable. According to the same authority, the crop of potatoes is increased forty- five times by means of ir. and that of Maize thirty.nve times. The manner of apph'in)! the manure is singular. Thus. in Africa, whero so much pepper (Capsiciiin &ac- calit,rn) is cuttivatt-d, each plant is mannred three ttmes. first upon the appearance of the roots, second upon that of the !eaves. and tastiy upon the formation of the fruit. (Humbo)t.) From this it wiH be observed that the Peruvians follow the plan of the Chinese in manuring the plant rather than the soi). The corn. position ofUuano points out how admirabty it is fitted for a manure for not onty does it contain ammoniaca) &a)ts in abundance, but atso those inorganic constitu- ents which are tudispensabte for the dev<-)opment of p).u)ts.—C/'<wt?<<y, in tft cpp?ca<t«n ? ?ortCM!<Hre 07!?

Foreign Britith Copper is very nrm. and some parcels htve been sold for deliveries in HoUand and Rouen at jg89, and this price bids fair to attain a higher eminence, on account of the support which th' new tariff ives to this branch oftradf< British Copper is for the same cause quite neglected, and sheathing Copper has been so!d at 101d. per ib., and reports say at lOd. British h-ad is apparently firmer, (I do not know from wnat cause,) and Spanish is tota!!y Defected. An unexpected change is likely materially to affect the Lead trade, in consequence of the American* having become exporters of native Lead. A parce) hat lately arrived at Liverpool, of which the quatity M report* ed to be superior to Spanish, and theprice auch as ¡o :uc- Ct'gojuny cope with any antagonist. Iron is very !anguid and bids fair to continue in such a at<<te. Scotch piC iron of favourite marks has been sold at 3/. with 10 per cent. discount.
