 Parliament re-assembIed on the 17th. but at the latest dates had done nothing with the Refom Bill. The Liverpool Journal says. there can be no doubt that an ample creation OfPesrs had been decided upon, to carry the bill.

 A spccial commission had terminated at Bristol and Nottingham, and at each place i've men had been found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.

 The Cholera was gradually spreading; and fever was prevailing to an alarming extent at Glasgow, and numerous deaths were Oc- curing in consequences.

 The whole number of cases ofchOlera that had occurred in England since the com mencement Uf the disease, down to the 18th Jan. was 2OSO.

The symptoms Of the case were reported to the Central Board Uf Health, who announced that there was n" reason to believe that the case was one of Asia,ic Cholera.

 A Paris paper says it does net appear on what authority that Russia has formed an al- liance with the Schah of Persia, to recon quer Khiya, and was negotiating for free passage to Herat on the road to Cabul. It is alledg~d that Russia has offered to repay to Persia the expenses of the last war, on con ditiOn of being permitted to hate a free pas sage through the North of Persia.

 Great Fire at Gt0sgotC.-One of the most destructive fires that ever occurred at Glas- gov took place on the 14th January. in Queen street, where Court of three sides (Q.Irer's COurt Of great extent, Occupirst chiefly as warehouses, was burnt tO the ground. Fhe property destroyed, Rnust of which was in- surrd, was valued at one hundred and ffty tho usand pounds sterling. Two lives were lost. Some idea may be formed of the in density Of the fire. when 1t is stated that the iron safes forn,ed no protection to the books locked up in, lheu.

 A London paper says considerable con sternation has been excited at the Pavilion. by the refusal of her Majesty to receive the wife of one Ofthe illustrious consort's brothers.

 The Liverpool Times of the l7th, says Parliament r~commenees its deliberations this day. Sufficient time has now been allowed 

 on the question of Reform, and few or no conversions having taken place, Ministers are prepared to do that which the country 90 ea- gerly demands, that is, to restore harmony between the two Houses of Parliament by an extensive creation of Peers. This is now W- niversally admitted, even by the Tory papers. whose only hope seems to be that they will not create a sufficient number. There is. however. no reason to fear that. Every ar- Gument which can be urged against the crsa- ti"n of sixty Peers, may be urged with equal effect against the cTeation 0fthirty and Min isters are not such driveilers as to incur the odium of such measure without securing the advantages which may be derived from it, The only limit which the King, on the sup position that he is sincere, which no one doubts, will place to the creation of Peers, is that which the circumstances of the case pre- scribe. The addition to the Upper House siIl not be greater than is necessary to secure the passing of the Reform Bill with case and safely, neither will it he less. It is at present supposed that from fifty to sixty new crea- lions will take place, and that the name of the Earl of Surrey. the eldest son of the Premi. CT Peer of England, will stand at the head Of| the list. It is also understood that several Irish Peers. amongst whom Lord Germans town. Lord RossmOrc, and Lord Kenmare Are included, are to he raised to the rank of English Peers. By these means the Reform Bill will he carried without any great perma. nent addition either to the House of Peers or to the aristecracy of the empire, and the new members of the upper House will be conipos- ed of men equal in rank and birth tO those who now fN tt. There can, therefore, be no pretence for saying that it has been degraded by the introduction of an inferior class of men.

 We believe that the creation of Peers will not be made, or at least will only De made tn part, until after the Reform Bill has passed the House of Cemmons. It is not improbable that the majority of them will not be created until they can be spared from the Lower House. and are wanted in inc Upper. Great and triumphant as the majoriti~s have always been in the House of Commons. it is not for tho interest of the country that they should be rendered less overwhelming, neither is it desirafie that twenty or thirty new elections should take place at present. This postpone ment will also deprive the opposition in the House of Commons ofat least one ground Of complaint, and will enable Ministers to push the bill forward with greater rapidity.

 Upon the whole, there can be little or no doubt that this Session will reinsfate the peO- pie of England. Scotland, and Ireland in all those rights of which they have now been sO long deprived, and will give ihSm ample se- curity fUr the future. The King. the Minis fers,. the people, and the House of Commons, all are pressing forward towards the same object, and that object -is now within their
