The most important information is the
• announcement that the Reform Bill was re
jected, gam-cerenzonie,in the British House
of Lords at half past 6 o'clock on the Morn
ing of the Bth of October, by a majority of
41. Galignani's Paris Messenger of the
10th Oct. thus announces the event. "The
interesting struggle in 'pie British House of
Peers terminated, as we were yesterday en
abled, in a brief circular, to announce to
readers in Paris and its vicinity, in the re
jection of the Reform Bill, by a majority of
FORTY ONI A.Telegraphic Despatch ac
quainting Government with this impertaat
event, reached the Foreign Office yesterday
Morning, at a late hour last night vte re
ceived by Extraordinary Express from our
- London Correspondent an abstract of the
proceedings in the Lords down to half past
6 o'clock on Saturday morning, when the
division took place. Lords Wynford, Eldon,
Lyndhurst, Tenerden,
.the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Duke of Gloucester, and
Lords Harewood and Barham opposed the
Bill, which was supported by the Lord Chan-
color, Lord Holland, the Duke of Sussex,
vind Lord Hastings. Earl Grey replied at
great length, and in conclusion declared that
-- Wilietitconsidered IWhaul only - done - his duty
in proposing a measure that he deemed es
sential to the tranquility-of the country.—
The rejection of the bill would disseminate
discontent and dissatisfaction; but he would
_not _abandon the King as long as there was
any chance or hope of his being useful to
the Sovereign and the Country. (Immense
cheering.)
The Bar then cleared for a divisien, when

On the result of the division being an
nounced, it was received in profound silence."
.London on Friday the 7th Oct. at 4 o'-
clock, P. M. Consols for account closed at
8O buyers.- Consols fell on the Bth 1 per
cent. Many rumors were afloat in the city
as to the future acts of the ministers. A
new ministry with the Duke of Richmond
at its head was spoken of. Another rumor
prevailed that the King had determined to
prorogue Parliament, and create new Peers
from the oldest sons of Peers favorable to
the Bill.
A Postscript to the Havre iournal of the
11th says:—A Courier extraordinary has
just arrived from London, from whom we
learn, that just as lie left the city great
effervescence manifested- itself among the
people v that serious troubles wore on the
-point-of-breaking-csit T and-that---in-onliar-to
protect himself from an attack, the Duke of
Wellington had barricaded his house.
Accounts from Warsaw rue to the 27th
Sept. The Russians entered Medlin on the
24th. A private letter from Berlin dated
2d October states that the remainder of the
Polish army had crossed the Prussian fron
• tier on the 26th Sept. and laid down their
arms. Field Marshal Prince PatillAtCh
Warsowsky, is appointed Governor General
of the Kingdom of Poland, who on the 26th
Sept. issued his proclamation. A manifesto
dated St*Pitersburg,. Sept. 16th, and signed
by the Emperor, has appeared, which es
tablishes a provisional government in Poland
-:consisting of a President and four members.
Poland is no longer a nation; she is a vassal
to the Autocrat—the blood- which she has
ponred forth in rivers, in the sacred cause
of liberty/end home, h as availed not—every
.friend of heroism and patriotism--every
friend of humanity must mourn over the fate
of Poland, brave but unfortunate Poland—
her name is blotted from the map of Nations.
, From Belgium we learn, that the armis;
tice between that country a nd Holland,which
exilired en the 10th October was prolonged
to the 2ftth October. In the Belgian c'ham
ber of Representatives, after a warm die
- cussion, a proposition to inquire into the
Causes of the late defeat of the Belgian
troops was carried. On the same day, the

effected, as Cap° DlStris had at , len i tth 'de

AL%sembly; the elections for which were QC•
cupying•the attention of the whole country.
A SPECK OF WAR.—It is positively
stated by the Journal de 'Flandres, cgs, paper
published at Ghent) that the Swedish:Con
-sulat Antwerp has received orders frotn , his
Government not pass any act which might,
indicate - an acknowledgment of King Leo
pold by Icing Charles John. It is well
known that the Swedish' Monarch is greatly
under the influence of the Russian Cabinet.
SPAIN. The National says: "We Wye
learnt from good authority that the Spanish
Government is not only urging the levy of
the 20,000 men recently decreed, but is tak
ing secret measures for raising double the
number. The provinces which are exempt
by - their conscript ion, as Gufpuzcoa - , --Alm,
'and others, have received orders to arm and,
equip a battallioo ofl,ooo.
Two D9,.ys LATER.—By an arrival
at NewYerft on the night of the 20th inst.
the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser
have received London papers to the 10th,
and Literpocl to the 11th October; This
arrival/puts them in possession of London
dates tb the morning of the Bth Oct.-"two
days later. Nothing was talked of but the --
fate of the Reform Bill—it seems to halve
been the all engrossing topic, as thi twits
result was known in the kingdom—and it
had spread with telegraphic speed—meet
ings were called in various places in Lon
don,Liverpool, &c. at which, as well as in
private circles, the firmness of the King
was applauded, the course of the ministers
approved, and full reliance placed in their
ability and integrity.
The loss of the Bill has been deeply and
sincerely regretted by every friend of the
country—some of the papers in our posses
sion, are dressed in mourning in conse
quence—no serious acts of violence had
been committed, but fears.were entertained
that the persons and property of those Peers
who voted in the majority, may not be re
spected by theopopulace. We have not yet
heard how Scotland or Ireland received the
intelligence. It is evident that anxiety is
felt by all classes, but we rely upon the
patriotism ? fi rmness and patience of .the
British nation, that no serious scenes of tu
mult will take place—but that they will
wait to see the course which the King and
his Ministers will pursue in this emergency.
We cannot, however, 'say less, than that
Vitt rejection of the Bill is a most daring
disregard of public leering by the Lords,
and a most unfortunate act for the country.
From the London Observer of Oct. 10,
we copy the following article:
"Speculation is busy on the line 'of con
duct which will be pursued by Earl Grey.
We believe that, up to the moment we are
writing, Earl Grey has determined not to.
resign ; and that, encouraged by the Hot*
of Corn ari ---- ;,attd - tlie - voices of the malilley,
of the people, he will make an effort to car
ry his bill by calling to the Upper House a
number of the eldest sons of its present
members who are supporters of the bill, so
that the new titles will be gradually absorb
ed by the ancient aristocracy—by raising
some of the more distinguished commoners
to the peerage with limited remainders—
and by calling a small portion of the Irish
and Scotch nobles to seats in the British
legislature. if the consent of His Majesty
be obtained to these expedients, and there
is no reason at present to suppose that it
will be withheld, a new bill will be forth
with passed through the Commons, and
sent up to the Lords, with a certain pros
pect that, after some reasonable modifica
tiOnii,irwill receive the esserit oretternor
tion of the legislature. In the midst of
these doribts - and - difficultiesi-the-peeple keep
the even tenor of their way; and though a
deep sense orregret appears to prevail, not
a single case of tumult hat occurred."
M r. Wilmer of Liverpool, in consequence i
of having received a short supply of the la-1
test London papers, hat sent us the follow
ing particulars of the state of public feeling
in the Metropolis, , gleaned from papers of
the 10th of Oct. together with accounts
from Derby , and Ch r'; which follows:
"Nothing can ex t& the indignant feel
ing which was manifested on Saturday, en
the throwing out of the reform bill in the
House of Lords. Early in the day, though
the weatherwas tempestuous, groups were
collected on the Exchange and at every
corner, to collect such particulars as they
eould, of what all considered a common ca-
lamity, and the publication of the morning
papers being extremely late owing e.to the
hour at which the division took place, the
shops of the news venders were beset by
applicants long after the usual period, and
to >a degree wholly unprecedented.
"The news of the fktal vote on Saturday,
morning spread over the country with al:
most telegraphic rapidity, and produced
every where astonishment and consterna
tion. A.n express reached Birmingham at
five o'clock in the afternoon; a universal
feeling of disappointment and indignation
pervaded . the whole population. The
bells of all the chirclies 'and chapels
were muffled and tolled, as on the most so
lemn occasions. The Council of the Politi
cal Union assembled in the course of the
evening, and an address tc the people to ab
stain from outrage was immediately issued.
By accounts contained, in the Caledonia
Mercury of Tuesday, serious apprehensions
appeared to be entertained of the intexrup
tion of order in the West of Scotland, to
which quarter numerous bodies of troops
have been 'ordered; but down fife prosqnt
moment, happilyike !bars of

The Reform members of tlitl House bf
Commons met on Saturday to the number
of 200, although the call was so sudden, and
agreed to propose the following resolutions
this evening:
"That* is expedient to declare their un
altered'An--diihitiished adherence itithe great
measure of)teform.
• "That it is their determined purposes to
stand by and support the King's Ministers
in the present crisis of affairs.
Accounts received in Liverpool last eve
ning (10th) from Derby, represent serious
disturbances to have taken place in that
town, on-the receipt of-the-'lntelligence-of
the bill having been thrown out, the popu.
lace, -- iqis Added, vented - their fury against
the inhabitants, whose sentiments were
known to be at variance with public opinion,
by attacking their dwellings, breaking their
windows, &c. when the populace proceeded
to the goal, and liberated the whole of the
prisoners, both debtors and criminals. - -
LONDON, Oct. 5.
Mr. an Buren q the Minister from the
TIL tes, had audience of the Queen to
deliver his credentials and was most gra
ciously received.
The excitement produced in the City,
and indeed, in all parts of the metropolis,
on the fate of the Reform Bill being pub
lished, exceeded any thing of the kind hith
erto known. • Numbers of shopkeepers in
stantly hoisted up their shutters as on the
death of one of their family. - The gloomy
appearance of the day too, which might in
superstitious minds, be looked upon as a dis
astrous omen, increased the dismal aspect
of affairs, and threw a damp over the whole
business of this day.
The Editors of the Journal ofCommeree
are favored with the following extract of a
letter dated .
lIAVRE, Oct. 13th, 1831.
Lord Ellenborough's motion in the House
of Commons approving the conduct of Miit• !
isters, and pledging the House to support
them; was carried by a majority of 149-
40 more than the majority for the third
reading of the bill. It is therefore suppos
ed that Ministers will remain and the bill
be again brought forward with . some little
modification. and ultimately pass.
- WAR BETWEEN CHINA; AND
GREAT BRITAIN.
The brig °Spray, from St.. Helena bound
to Salem, has pitt into Charleston in distress.
She reports that "the British East India
Company's Sloop of Wax' Comm., arrived at
St. Helena, 16th Sept., with, despatches. for.
England, announcing that the English Fee.
ries at Canton hid been broken up by the
Chinese—the servants attached to the Fac.
'-tories hear s taken off—the likeness of King
George was torn down and trampled under
foot—the trees in the Factories tort► up, &c.
All commerce between the English and
Chinese ceased after 10th August, and the
British ships had all left Macoa.
Should a War between the Emperor of
China and the King of Great Britain grow
out of the !above sanguinary proceedings, it
.may seriously affect the trade of this country
with China, as the British would doubtless
blockade the port of Canton and cut otr its
trade.
Parlous tillaiterii.
By the explosion of 200 lbs. of powder in
the Magazine near Savannah, Geo. on the
26th - seven -- persons -- were - killed, - five
within and two without the building. The
magazine,a-brick ...Wilding,. was torn to
pieces and its 'fragments scattered in every
direction. The accident was occasioned
by a spark which was elicited in coopering
some barrels of powder. '
Levy of Catholic troops.—The following
extraordinary --statement-is extracted.. from
the Roman-Ca' tholic Magazine,-for-August
1831, under the head "Rome," page 445.
"We have' heard from . good authority that
his holiness has, through the Nuncio, Mon
signor Spaddacini, applied to the British
government far permission to raise a body
of 10,000 troops in Ireland, and that the
application lute been Successful."

AN OLD MAID.—We trust that it is
no offence to tender ears, to use this apella
tion, when speaking of a maiden who died
in Poland ! , last year, after attaining her one
hundred and twenty-fourth year! She Caine
into the world and took her leave of it on
the self same spot, the village of Brzezin.
Her youth and advanced age were both en
dowed with a greater portion of health than
falls to the common lot; so much so, indeed,
that on the very Sunday before she died she
walked three miles to-attend divine service.
Her memory was so tenacious, that she
could recall the most trival circumstance
which had occurred to her during the last
century of her life. Peace be to - her maid

' The" Board of Manager's of the American
Colonilation Society hive - the
National Intelligencer, a King Address to
the Auxiliary Sff.ieties. The Society was
established in the year 1817. Towards the
promotion (lithe Colony nineteen expeditions
have been fitted out, and- 1857 emigrants,
including recaptured Africans, landed on
the shores of Africa. There are now 2000
colonists. The expense has. been almost
wholly defrayed by contributions from indi
viduals. The contributions received from
1820 to 1830 inclusive, amount to $112,841
—The expenditures, in the same interval,
to 'a sum less by $6384. The Board of
Managers insist that the salubrity of Liberia
is not inferior to that of the southren por
tions of the United States; and that their en
terprize "holds out the promise of boundless
benefit and grandeur to a large portion of
the inhabitants of two quarters of the globe."
Salt in Europe is a monopoly of Govern
ment. In France a law exists, that if any
person manufactures it for his own use, even
if he draws a bucket of water from the ocean
and converts it into salt, he shall be sent to
the gallies. According to Hassel, there are
about one hundred and twenty millions of
pounds of salt annually Ananufactured in
Prussia.
In reference to the great road which the
State of Virginia is almt to - construct be
tween Winchester in the Valley, and Park
ersburg on the Ohio river, the last Win
chester Republican says:—"A considerable
part of the road, so important not only to
the citizens of Winchester, but to the inhab
itantSef" the intervening country between
.this place and the point of termination on
- the — Ohio;--ii—probably—almady-under---- -con—
tract, and will be linished- before this time
twelve month; but it will not be until the
entire -line-shalthave_been completed that
the advantages which the work may be ex
pected.teconfer on our community will be
fatly realized. Presenting, as it will, - to
the traveller between the east and the west,
the advantag,es of directness, expedition, and
comfbrt, is a greater degree than in any
other; this route will undoubtedly be prefer
red to all others, and consequently become
the great thorough4re of the trade and tra
vel between the western and Atlantic States.
Steam boat navigation is always open to
Parkersburg; from Parkersburg to Win
, cheater there will be one of the first roads in
tied from Winchester to Baltimore
an uninterrupted mil road; - so that the trav
eller may reach the latter place in three
days from the time of leaving the Ohio, and
vice versa, reach the Ohio in three days
from Baltimore."
