The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought it would be de sirable that boards of guardians should be able to provide work fur such parties, which would no doubt he disagreeable to them, and be in some measure a cure for the evil c plained of. The whole subject wee under the consideration of tho government, with a vi 'w to • new distribution of the charge on parishes and unions in reference to this particular matter. After • few words from Lord Recleedale, Earl Fitzveilliam, the Earl of Chichester, the Earl of Stradhroke, and Lord Bieuruont, the matter dropped. PRIVATE BILLS. Lord MONTEAGLE said that two or three private bills connected with railw.iys, the termini of which were at ports, and wh i ch grave the companies the power of investing certain sums of money in esteem-buats, bad piece el that house. He thought their lordships ought carefully . to guard against at y attempt at monopoly in the transrut , sion of the mails by such steam-boats to foreign ports. Tho noble lord concluded by putting a questiiin to the First Lord of the Admiralty, which was not diet inct ly heard in the gallery. The Earl of AUCKLAND said the Admiralty were pre• pared, where companies provided ute ful packets for the con veyance of the mails, to ewer lot i contracts with them. The more the Admiralty could be relieved from doing the Post office service, the better it would be for the proper adminis tration of the n,ival affairs of the country. It was a subject, howevi r, which ought to he approached with great care. Earl G RAN V I LLE said the railway commissioners had communicated with a select committee of the other house on the sufjett, and that committee wire about to make a report, which would he betels their lordships in a few days. After a few words from Lord WHAItSit'LIFFE, The Earl of RODEN said that great caution ought to be exercised in taking the Path( Rice communications with our colonies and foreign countries out if the hands of the Admiralty. TILE RAILWAY COMMISSION. Lord REDESDALE, pursuant to notice, inquired of the Lord President the duties which the railway commissioners were expected to perform, and the position in which they were considered to stand in relation to her Majesty's govern ment It was • question of very great importance. We had • board of superintendence of railways rendered so in s gnificant tha , hardly any notice of it was taken. In I/141 it was thought that there would be such a mass of tills, that, unless some assistance was given to direct commit ters, great contWion and difficulty would arise. The whole management of railweye devolved on the Board of Trade ; and Earl Dalhousie, when at the head of the Board of Trade, gave great attention to the subject. (Hear, hear.) It was found, however, that reports of the Dieted of Trade were frequently upset 1 y committees, and, so sensible was the parliament at the co.d of the session of the evils which had resulted from tuba state of things, that resolutions on the su Ij. were moved in bib houses, and a kill was introduced by the government. It was considered desirable to give more consequence to • hoard which shetilil he appointed specially to real with the matter, and a bo drd wai therefore constituted, calk,' the " railway hoard." It was intended that the board should make a rep fa entry session on the subject, but they Two rally felt reluctant in making a ri port whit o should l i e up set by either house or by committees of either h time. He did not think it desirable for :he country that matters should remain as they were ; and he hail therefore thought it eh sire ble to ask the quesii an of which he had given notice. (Hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the subject had bet n hr ught fr 4 queb4 before the h' use the important subject of carry log nn the railway business of the country, The question whi.h the noble leril had put seemed to raise two points-6rd, whether it wns i xpedient that the railway business should he conducted a.d controlled by a public honed ; and secondly. .what powers that board should have ? The hoard itself end but tr en • principle of economy, Ps original object hut riot lieen filly carriol °W. It was, however, operating day by dey fur the public benefit, and for the assistance of parliament. ( Hear, bear) The noble lord meat be aware how very numerous and important the functions of the board were ; they embraced the in , pe ction of railways before they were opened the subj. ct of the tip trains ; the disputes between company and company; making repc.rts of colanial reilways; and varions wher subjects which must naturally cline under their cremes nice. Seven hundred mi es of railway had been inspected by them and r ports d upon is the last year ; and 33U cases of accidents had Teen inquired hat°. Special re ports had been made by engineers acting under their autho rity, •ni aelmieablo euggestions h-al been made by those engineer., width in meet instaneee had been reach y and wilitnely acted upon by the . ompanies. (Hear, hear.) Acts to parliament, on not lees than fifty different subjects connected with railways had come under their coneiderutton. ' (Hear, c ar.) 1h" noble lord :skeet what authority the board had ? It must be manifest to all who had obierved their operatious that great moral weight was attached to their decisions ; but he could not a.y that the governmeir. ought In be li mild by title opinion on all qn istions. (He-r, hear.) He was not prepared just now boar I to state whether fresh powers would b given to the or not; but that was a matter ,tor future coacideratime The president and vice-pre-.ident of the tinted of Trade gave their wisist tree to the railway board, and its operations were of great lumelit to the public. ( Hear, hear.) Lord REDEsDALE dill not think that any weight was given to the reports of the Ina away Boned. If they save an opinion, they were not prepared o support it in pediment, and therefore their opinion was of little use. They appeared , to be a board which had nut the courage to support it own views. Earl ORANVILLE did not know any opinion of the board which had been overthrown by parliament. lie thought the board might be made more useful, but it was by no means on law now. Alter a few weeds in explanation from Lord REDZSDAES, the conversation drooled. THE SPANISH CORRESPONDENCE. The Marquis 01 LANSDOWNE, in mining that their lordships should now adjourn, be peed to express his regret that it was not then in his newer to lay on the table complete copies of the late Spanish carresponili nee. lie trusted, however, that to-morrow (this day) he should be enabled to do to. The Louse then adjourned at a quarter to seven o'clock. HOUSE 1F COMMUNS.—THURSDAY, luse 15. The Erg-inn took the chair at 4 o'clock. PHIN'ATE BUisINESS.

Mr. DUNCAN having moved the further consideration of the report on this bill, Mr. BERNAL objected to the provisions of the bill, as being in contravention of the third report of the teleet Corns isiticre OA railways, La it gave the company on undefined power or 'twilit( limy not tamed. Dlr. DUNCAN consented to postpone the bill to to-morrow (ttis day), WHITEHAVEN JUNCTION RAILWAY (EXTEN SION, ALTERATION, AND BRANCHES) BILL. On the motion for the further conaidetetlon of the report on this bill, Mr. BERNAL pointed out that the bill contained lensing powers which contravened the standing order No. 12G. Mr. HILDYARD defended the bill, contending that the order in question did not at all apply, as the select coin. mittee had given special permiuion for the introduction of the leasing clauses.

Mr. H. MILLIE said that in consequence of the expen diture of this colony having increased in a very short time Irons 56,0001. to 225,0001., the court of policy had very wisely come to a determination that it was necessary to cur tail this expenditure, and had recommended the governor to make a reduction of all official salaries. This recommenda tion bei g indignantly rejected, the court of policy proposed to vote the supplies only for etz month". This proposal also excited the disapprobetton of the governor; and the conse quence was, the supplies were not voted at all. As soon as this account, which reached England by the last packet, was known at the foreign-older, Lord Grey h. at refused to issue licensee to two British vessels about to proceed to the gout of Africa to convey emigrants to British °Wane, stating diet he /Mould allow no more emigrants ID be sent there mail the supplies were voted. Ile wished to ask who her there would be lied on the table of the house all the cerrespondence relating to the stoppage of the supplies, else Oita with werence to thcita two vessels; land w hether it would be dune before the debate on colonial I stints ? Mr. HAWES said he must defer his answer as to the msrreeponitence respecting the vessels until next day. It was quite true that two vs earls about to proceed to Sierra Leone, or Guiana, or St. Helena, had been refused their licenses for Brdiste Guiana. The emigrants they were to convey were of two classic—free emigrants and captured Atlicans; to the letter the government stood in the relation of guardians, and hod a Ficaril risilit to decide to which of the colonies they should be sent. The legislative au horitiee of Guiana having refused the supplies on very inadequate grounds, his noble friend (Earl Grey) was nut willing that the captured Africans should be sent there in the present state of confusion of that colony, but rather that they should go to some other; and many other celoci, s had equal claims on the government. the free emigrants, on arriving in the colony, entitled the shipowner to a bounty; at Guiana there was now no fund out of which this Louie' be paid; and it would have been most unfair to the shipowners to have alto-red the free emigrants to :e there wider suck c:reura stances. But it must not he inferred that licenses were relent it to ships taking emigrants to other colonies ; quite the contrary. Mr DARKLY asked if the emigrati o n commissioners in London hail nut funds applicable to this purpose I Mr. HAWES did not b diens that any large amount was so applicable. But until th.• colony w.c likely to make pro m provision fur the m Autenante oi order and the receteion ' of emigrants, it woulu undoubtedly be unwise to send them there. In answer to a further question from Mr. Demme, lair. HAWES said the reformation given in the newspa pers relative to the stemage of the supplies was correct, so that he did not see any end to be answered by the production 01 the correspundence, though probably there would Ike no objection to it. The limos at the di-posal of the emigration commissioners were solely for Ore aseheence of incssattous emigrants. WEST INDIAN DISTRESS. LordJ. RUSSELL said lie proposed to make the state ment, of which he, had given notice for to-morrow evenings tespecting West Indian distress, before the orders;of the day. In answer to a question from Lord R. CitsuisitCholt, which was not beard in the gallery, respecting a deputation which had waited on the premier a short time ago, Lord J. RUSSELL said the only atower he could give was, that the propusal merle lay the depu'a'i an had been censideml, but that government was lot able to acmde to it. PRIVILEGE.—THE LEICESTER WHIT. Lord J RUSSELL said, as the bon. tie niter for North Neertiamptorshire ( Mr. Soothed) had a notice on the paper to move the issue of the writ ha Lea:ester, anal us the Gloaters= before the committee wor not ya t in the bends of the house, he would submit to the hon memaet whether he would pro ceed with his motion row, Cr would postpree it until slues day, who it, an hon. member having given notice to move the issue of other write, the whole questien might be considered at once. Mr. STAFFORD said he hail nether expected some such appeal as this, as the unceiotitutional course taken lay hon. members epposite bad involved them in greet difthultits. Ile could not consent to allow another day to intervene be fore taking the sense of the house on the issuing of this writ. It was said the evidence was not in the bands of hon. mem bers ; but if it were drsitable to wait un this account, the eugoestion outht to have been made earlier. He brought forward this motion with more confidence after t ae short re cess which they had had ; for he found that honourable members generally returned to tier house with a keener sensa of their dirks to their constituents. 1% e house hod parker d IS acts of parliument since the month of November; three were 4S other bills to he chepnstd of, and amonaet them was the ball of the hon. member tor the Flint burghs. What hope was there that that bill would be speedily pass d in'o a I as. ? and yet it was in such circum stances that they ware • kcal to suspend the err 1411 th y could deal with all the boroughs in a lump. Ile thought the course pursued by hon. gentlemen on the other lode woo calculated rat' r tat &acne. all complaint, then to pro mote purity of s lection. It might be weil to suspead the writ in case of Horsham, where they had particular views with regard to the botough, and pr c.dente might be quoted 6.r such a course as the 0119M1111011 of the writ foe Liverpool in 1831. There, bower, r, the suspension was only ter a particular time, at the expiration of which, if nothing was done respecting the borough, the writ was issued. But it seemed monstrous to place all 'these boroughs in schedule A , till a certain bill had paged a bill, too, which the government did not seem anxious to press on the hon. member (Sir J. Harmer) to hitet,n forward. If he thought that the writ ought to be suspeialed in any case, he confessed it ought to be in the case of Leicester. It appeared in the toialence given before the Wm stir Committee that all the bribery which was carried on wok place in a certain house tato 3 the " Reform office." One of the witnesses said that Mr. Staines gave him the bribe, and that he kept a public-house called "The Rights of the People." ("Hear, hear," and laughter.) He knew hew painful such details and revela tions must be to the gentlemen who met in St.Ja [rte.-square, and that they must cut a very awkward appearance while professing the principle s of reform and purity of election at 'wing found out in carryinl on a P 1 steM of 'ornery with re spect to a large borough at the " Reform Mike," and by an agent in bribery who kept a public-house called "The Rights of the People." Ile had nn connexion with Leicester, and he did not know the state of political parries there, se that he bad no party interest in millin e the present motion. lie heard, imieed, that Lard J. Manners was in the field, end he wished him inertia if he ste od ; but he did not know the two tnemb.rs would not be returned of the same principles as the late members., Sir J. Walaisley and Mr. Gardner; for es to them, the hon. member for Montrune must make up his mind to give them up. Ile understoo I that great distras and great dieettistactiun with the institu ions of the count. y prevailed in Leicester; and that was another reason why it would he unwise to keep such a community without a re presentotive in that house. The hon. gentlemen c' nsluded by mov ng that a writ do issue for the erection of two mut ters for the heron h .11,4 k-ester. Mr. FREWEN said he had received a letter from a very respectable 'elicitor of Leicester, expressing surprise at the notice of the hon. m,mber, without having any previous communication wi'h rar.y person in the locality. (Hear.) He thou , ht that they should consider the repor: of the a am mittee before issuing the writ. His family had been con nected with Leicester for a very lane time, anal he could state that it was the most notoriously corrupt plaice in the kingdom ("Hear," .11111 laughter.) Lithe year 1326, as melt as 66,000!. had been spent by three candidates at tee elec tion in that jeer. It was the same for many preview Nee tions. When he was illt:l2Ceii, very reluctantly, to become a candidate fur Limner in 1830, he teld his committee that he would rather Iwo his election than const nt to ene ca e of brib. ry, but thc e:ectien went entirely ruainst hint beeause his committee refused to spend 1501. for the sums purpose as at the last election. (laughter.) A number of freemen tendered him their votes at very nearly the mime price es at the late election—the price at the late election being 173.61. and the price at which the freemen offered themselves to him being It. Those things had been eating on for a hag. period. (Hear.) lie was suo e lie spoke the sentiment, of the respectable portion of the community when he said they wished the writ to be Imperiled for the present, till a mea sure passed for altering the existing state of things. fele. K. SEYMER hoped that the house would not agree to the motion of his hon. friend, as the evidence which was taken before the committee of which he was chairman was net yet in the hands of the members. He thought it was but fair towards the committee to suspend the writ. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. MANOLF.B, Sir J. PAKINGTON said he hoped his hon. friend would nos prem his motion. On Tuesday next he intend, d to move that the writs ,lo issue in the case of all the boroughs except two, and of these two Leicester happened to lot one. (A laugh.) Lord J. RUSSELL thought that very conclusive rea sons had beeu urged against the issuing of the writ, and if the hon. gentleman hod accepted his suggestion he might have spared the house some time, which would have brought them nearer to the bill of the hon. baronet the member for the Flint burghs, and for which the hon. gentleman expressed himself so anxious. lie wished to state, however, that some hon. gentlemen seemed to ham to be under a misapprehension as to the course taken by the house in various instances with regard to the suspension of writs. He was cot going to vindi ate the consistency of the house with respect to particular boroughs, some of which had been disposel of when he was not in the house ; hut, so far from beingan unconstitutional proceeding, he considered the suspoasion sat writs warrauted by eve:dr:ate i :Liu beet time. In 1696 and 107, and several following years, when it had been reported by a committee of the whole house that corrupt practises prevailed, the writ was Me pended. The writ for diaborough was suspended from December, 1696, to December. 1697—an entire year; and it was only on the petition of the inhabitants, who stated that the elections woild be conducted with purity for the future, that the house consented to issue the writ. The same course was followed in the care of Bishop's Castle in the reigns of Queen Anne and George I. and George 11. there were sewed instances of suspending writs. Su con• firmed was this practice not only by precedent but by act of parliament, that, In 182.5, when be &eked the house to sus pend the writs in the cue of three boroughs not only tem porarily hut - even during the dissolution, till the hoes hot made inquiry, Lord C.iatkreagh, who might have opposed the motion with raceme, immediately conserved to the introduction of the bill, and he believed the bill pasted through parliament. It was by no torsos an unusual or uncenstitutiunal proceeding to suspend the writ. With regard to the remedy do be adopted he thought the house Ought to come toe de. mon is to who' her they would approve of the principle ot the bun. seemlier (Sir J. Hamner) or not. if the hour. , approved of the principle of thst bill, he thought they should emit it to g o on, and allow the sense of the majority to prevail. It they Old not approve of the principle of that bill he would the n either pros ad with the bill respecting Horsham, or he would make the bill more general, But one way or other the house ought to declare ins opinion. He did nut think it fair to delay or obstruct the bill of the lion. gentleman (Sir J. Harmer), and then make that • ground fur moving for the halting of writs. (Hear.) He hoped the hoesc would not give its countenance to that. (Hear.) Mr. BANKES said, the good times to which the noble lord had referred fur precedents were times of strong piety feeling, and even of faction. One of the passigen which struck him in the " Men.oirr of Lord H. rvey," lately pub lished, was that, where speaking of a contest in the house, in those good times, with regard to an election, it ie said, tt day the House of Commons voted that 40 be a majority over 90." (Laughter.) One of the real ins why he was opposed to the suspension of writs was, that tho borouelut had no person in the house to advocate their cause. Mr. HUM E Raid that he hail given notice of an important motion for Tueeday, and if the hon. member for Droitwich (Sir J. I'akingtonl altuu.d bring forward Ins motien nn he subject of the writs it would present him from bringing on his motion at an e. sly hour. He hoped, th. retort, the hon. gentlemen would net persevere in his notice, as any othe r day would answer his purpose equally well, whilst he (Mi. Hume) could not bring his mote.' forward except on Tursea). Sir J. PAKINGTON said that he heel fixed Tuesday neat without any knowledge that the hon. member hat his motion for the same evening. But having given notice, and the subject be fug art important one, he could not consent to fix his notice for another evening. Col. SIBTIIOItP hoped the Imo. member fer Northamp. toneleire would press his motion to • division. He believed the object of the government was to shirk the quiation &how then. Cwt. ELLIOTT said there were many oar r towns named in the bill besides Horsham. Lord LINCOLN rose to appeal to the noble lord apposite to give every opportunity in his power for preseing forward the measure silted dto Unless precedence wan given to it the Ilia could not be pasted, and, it it were not passel, the 11 , 111,e he placed in a ;weather. of much difficulty at the close of the session, when • great constitutional question might arise as to any farther suspension of these writs. Lord J. RUSSELL said that although lie had not abso lutely undert iken the boll he had vise nit as much eocou regement and *upped we it it had been brought forward by a number of the government. Sir J. TROLLOPE, as a mr mitre of the Li iceeter com mittee wished to rem irk that they had specially reported that the parties at that election api eared to require the con sideration of the house. He should like to know how the con.ideration was to be given to it, when the evidence was not before them. Mr. HUDSON thought that, whatever might be tie re port of the committee, it was hard upon the great mijority of the voters in Leicester to he deprived of the exercise of their privilege*, bt cause of the misconduct of some v. ry few of the electorate. As regarded his 11011. friend Sir Joshu Walmaley, for whom ho had great est. em, he knew he h'ol lean moot anxious to eyelet doing anything corrupt, and he thought he hail been hardly treated. ale. AGLION BY said Veen discussions were extremely inconvenient. Ile had heard it said that small condeutn. ces were always corrupt. He denied the fact as far as Cuckermouth was concerned. (L sudden) Sr G. GREY hoped all the gentlemen who represented mull boroughs would not think it ra cereary to detail the circumstances of their cenvarver. (Loud leugh•er.) In the present ease he had no hesitation in refusieg his assent to the motion before them. The evidence of the committee was nut before them, and until it war, and until it had bees e wintered, he should net vote in this ease for the issue of the wri'. Mr. MANGLES rose to explain. Ile had not attacked }u.II buiougles indiscriminately, but had stated that a small slumber 01 voters could always turn the scale. Mr. COIIhEN said he hoped the house generally was mire pure than had Is en represented. Of this be felt con vinced—that some of the ca-es which had been brought be fore the house were by no means such &grata cases as bad occurred in other place s at the last diction. lie believed the cases of Sir Joshua Walmsley and Mr. Gardner at Leicester, of Mr. Seeley at Lincolii, and of the late hon. member for Lancaster, were peculiarly hard can n : (Hear.) He bath seri the last diction, in these bornueha were as fair:) , conducted as ever elections had been at these pleas. (Cheers.) But what he rose to advert to was the tact that the hon. member for Droitwich had thought it fit to give notice of his intention to interfere between Lis hon. friend (Mr. Hume) and the decision of the h use on Tues day night. The hon. member for Droitwich bad declared that he did not know that he should so interfere when he gave lii4 notice. but he keew it now. The fact had been stet d to him. His reply was, that his motion was of so much importance, that he could not postpone it. But there was no occasion to post;one it. Ile might brie g it forward to-marrow, or on Monday. (Hear, hear.) It he did, how ever, per-tot in bringing it forward on Tuesday, he would drive himself and his friends to take the only remaining coulee which was open to them, and raise diseuesions on the general state of the representation of the people, whenever the quf stein of a writ was raised. (Cheerr). Mr. W. MILES thought. Mr. Hume fairly entitled to bring forward a question relating to the representation of the people. Mr. GORING also said he should vote for the suspension of the writ. Mr. STAFFORD sail he should mole tomorrow the 1911 r of the writ for Derby, and thereby get over the dart co ty arising from the notice given by the member for Droitwich, who certainly might as wed have tiled his motion bur tiny other day than Tuerdry. Olean hear ) He had be en asked to postpone this motion, because the . dence was not before the house, When would it be laid In fire them ? If ai y printer were to be able by his &lays to pt event the issuing of a writ, he did not know where the suspension of writs would terminate. Although he knew that he should be in but a small minority, he should, on principle, en.i.t on a division. For the motion Against it PIJULIe HEALTH BILL. Oa motion for a :urther proceeding on further considera tion of the report on this bill, Lord LINCOLN said he was anxious to withdraw a mo tion of which he had given notice to alter the constitution of the board by which this bill was to be worked. Ile had theught a central authority nemewry, but that in the hill, es eirapeally framed, the principle of centralisation was carried too far. The bill, however, had since been altered, and its machinery had been re.anicructeil. lie highly approved of the alterations which had been made, Lind he should there fore withdraw the amendment ho had int. tided to pmpose. Viscount MORPETH expressed his gratification et the withdrawal of the amendment, and thanked the noble lord for the general support he had given to the bill. Col. THOMPSON then moved to substitute the following for deem 88 Pi os ided always, and br it enacted, that no contract, covenant, or agreement between landlord nod tenant, or any other pet sow, touch. ing the payment of taxes arilasstruntenbt to be charged on their m inas:live premeee, than be deraned or COUStfIIOI to extend to the pay. mints or appriftratnents of payment charged thereon trader this act, our to he basting contrary to the intent and meaning of this act ; but that all such payments shall be charged upon and pill by the re oCeUpill., subject to such deductions and repayments ia are by this act authorises! and allowed ; 1111,1 all such deli e ions and rep lima-. wltall be made and allowed accordingly, notwithstanding PINII contracts, covenant., or agreements; and all e unmet., cove nants, and agreements made or t•ntertsl into, Or to be mad, or entered into, tor payment of any rent or other annual payment in full, without allow mg such deducuonsiali repayments as aforesaid, shall be utterly void. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the amendment. 1 he chum. was withdrawn without a el* n. Mr. TURNER then movtd to add at the end of clause A the following clause : Anal be it enacted that, immediately upon the lathing by the mitt getira..llraard of health at nay such cratidcate as find above men thraid, in reterence to any ban al ground of any parish or extra partibial lance, it than be the ..uty of the said general board to give notice to the local board fur the district within which the burial ground referred to in such certificate shall be situate, requiring Ruck Weil tonne within a time to be tiled by such nutter, to provide or puietuow additional land to such extent as to the wad general board shill seem meet, and situate either within or out of ihe bounds of ,mtdu parish or place, for the enlargement of such bcrid ground, or for making tan aratitiont.l Initial groom' for the said pariah or extra parochial plufr, and thereraran it shall be lawful for the raid laud bthrd, with the approbation of the said general hoard, to make sue h provision or purchase accordingly ; and in default of with provision or purchase Icing made and completed within the time fixed by such notice, it dill be lawful fur the said general board to m ike such pro vision or purchase, and for the purposes of such porchuse, either by the said gra.eral boant or by the maid local board, all the provisions of Oct.:MIA (.I,elConsuliiLition Act 1815, relative totbe purchase and plc of lands, shall be consolidated with and be deemed and taken to be part of this act. Mr. W. J. FOX opposed the clause, as involving an injus tice to the dimenters, who would be taxed for churchyard accommodation, from the use of which they might be ex. eluded. Mr. NEWDEG ATE supported the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL would put to the hon. gentleman the Case of a baptist • the baptist would of course have to con tribute towards the rate for erecting a new churchyard, es proposed by the hon. member. Would the baptist be euti. Bed to bury his child in the churchyard to waich he bad contributed ? Mr. TURNER said that his douse did not alter the general principle of the bill in this respect. There would be of course a portion of churchyards open for dissenters. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL pointed out that the bill vested the freehold of churchyards in the clergyman. Mr. TURNER said the difficulty might ba obviated by only vesting the consecrated pertio• of churchyards in the clergy man. Mr. HUDSON conceived that it was a hardship for die sel...ens to be tall , ii upon to contribute towards the pur ot a iaturzeyord trona which ;hey might I.lc. that plural voting in parishes was very unpopular amongst the people at large. L .rel MORPE CH said that the question had been so fully argued in the house that it would be disrespectful to the de cision then arrived at to alter the clause. Mr. S. CRAWFORD, who seconded the motion, also strongly eupported it. N Mr. EWDEGATE, as a magistrate, denied that plural votieg in parochial matters had been productive of dis content. Sir B. HALL said that he was the re presentative of three parishes, in two of which singl voting was permitted, and in the t .ird (Paddington) plural votes arra given, to the great iiissatislaction of the parishioners. If the toll for the metro. p die, which the government were preparing, contained any ouch clause as the present, he was sure the different parishes would be greatly opposed to it. Mr. HENLEY thought the government was right in adhering to the decision already come to ley the house. After a few words from Mr. Dieu UMW. le, The house divided—For the motion Against it 46-28 The amendments having all been considered, the report wee received. BOROUGH ELECTIONS BILL (No. 2), On the order of the day fur the house to go into committee ou this hill being reed, Colonel Sllllllolll' rose, to offer all the opposition in h'a power to this bill. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped Oat as the lineage had already declared its opinion of the merits of the tall iu two divisions, the committee would be permitted to be proceeded with without further delay. (Hear.) The house thee. went into vitamin. con the bill. Col. SIBTHORP moved that the coairman report pro. gresa and ask leave to oft again. Mr. BANK ES would he willing to sup,tort his hon. and gallant friend in a division against the first clause, but trussed that he would nut take the eri mirigly invidious counts of dividing ,a a merely formal stage of the bill. Col. SI lITHORP persisted in dividiag the house, and the gallery was ei area. On our return we were Wormed that uo divis uu bad taken place, th • mover of the arise adment havieg been unaele to obtain a teller. The hi n. aid g Mout menthe r heathy bundled up his hooka and papers aul walked out of the house. 0,1 clause 1, appointing commie/done - Ts, Mr, BAN) ES had au of ctiou to leis shone, which, In d. eel, involved the whole principle of the bill. He objected generally to commissioners anointed by government, be- C4U - C — let them act ever so impurti ally—their decisions never gave satisfaction, being always suspecu el of bias. It had been so in the ease of the commissioners under the Reform Bill, and also in that of the municipal commissioner'. Besides, they never could get men of much einhience at the b .r to serve on these c annsissions, and the hullers of the franchise would hardly be satisfied to be deprived of it at the liscretion of third Of fourth rate legal practitioners. (Herr ' hear.) In addition to this, they could never steer clear of the suspi cion of political bias. The SULICI tea-GENERAL.—The Lord Chief Juatlee would nominate. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BANK ES feared th it under any circumstances it would tee impossible to remove suspicion from the public Mind. Admitting that the Chief Jul ice did appoint, he would not draw on the front ranks of the profes , .un for the c minissiuu, and the consequence would be that the lonia ten chose n must be of inferior status erne to those who pre sided ov. r the county courts, the latter beiner permanent, while the former were only transitory appointments. Then the duties of these pinuaissieners were hot clearly de fined. They were to inquire and report their opinions; that was to soy, Lie opinion, for under the bill use commissioner might constitute a court. It was said that the opinion of the c..mmissioner was not to iuthience the house. If not, why all this trouble, and the expense to the country of five guine A a day ? And here he had another objection. The modes of re :itineration would make it the interest of the barrister employed to delay the inquiry ler as long a time as possib e. (Hear, hear) The house would then be in this dilemma—either the decision would be fin.l, and a borough might be diatranchis el on the dictum of a barrister of little or no standing, or it was a nulli'y, anil all the expense, trouhie, seed delay would go for nothing. By the third clause one commissioner might hold a court, sod he had powers given huh greater than 1.31 lifer been tolerated in this country since the day* of the Star Chamber. The tenth clause gave the commissioner indem nity on all legal points, but there were also such things as points of honour, from which be could not he indemnified. lie was empowered to summon turtles before him, and be might compel them to expose and denounce other parties with whom lie had been connected. This wail a must in vidious power. Ile (Mr. Bankes) had once had occasion to summon& banker before •committee of that notuse,but having received a pnvate intimation that the party in question would commit suicide it the summons were persisted in, he gave up the notion. It might be said that he had shrunk irons his duty, but there were points of honour which could ' not be got over. Ile entreated the told • lord to withdraw his support from this bill, and to adopt the course he had himself originally suggested. Let him in each case appoint a committee of five, with powers to et smite witnesses on oath, and a decision would be arrived at calculated to satisfy both the other house of parliament and the country. Sir J. HANMER said that the course suggested in this b:11 had already been adopted in the case of Sudbury, and had received sp neral approleation. The hon, and learned member for Duraeurnire objected to coannissioaers as likely to be influenced by political bias; but were committees of that house entirely tree from suspicion ? (Oa, oh.) He re 'Ml mbered one notorious case—the borough of ? Nottingham. (" Ilear, hear," and cries of " Hull ' and laughter ) Very well; he merely mentioned the cases to show that committees had been accused of political bile. He had watch, d the proceedings at the various public meet ings throughout the country in support of Mr. Hume's mo tion, and though be had observed many opinions put forward as to the condition on which the franchise should rest, the mode of taking votes, and the duration of parliaments, he had never seen that the constituencies of any borough in o hich such meetings lead been he'd, had declared that they would commenea the work of reform by purifying them s lees of corrupt practice-a. There was no reason to suppose that the jos'. ride of the electors could be otlended by a strict inquiry in every case in which a c instituency was now misrepresented, not because of the death or resignation of the late member, but because bribery and treating had pre vailed at the last election. It hail been complained that the commissioners wou'd decide in accordance with any Was that might obtain in their own mind., hut that wee impassi ble ; all the commisdaners had to do, was to collect evidence and embody that evidence in • report, and on that ri port it ' would be fur parliament t, act. He swilled that the inquiry would be as expensive as some hon. gentlemen seemed to su r e iNSTEY believed that the reason why many hon. gentlemen opposite support, d this bill was that they be bevel it would have the effect of a tvancing one of the objects of Mr. Ilume's motion to di-lranch se the em dt boroughs. Nut only did this bill take away the rizht of trial by jury, vesting the whole Never in the commissioner without any ay.peal, but it offi red a direct premium to perjury. The whole bill was open to . hieetions of a similar character. Treating and bribery w ro dealt with as if eqaalty criminal, although one was oppo-ed to the law both cat God and m in, and the other comp 'naively innocent, The consequence of putting them in the same category ' would be to induce the poor man, who could see nothing corrupt in treating, to view bribery In the Mlle. light. In accordance with his pledge he should feel it his duty to opoo-e the further progress of this bill. Mr. HUDSON contended that no sufficient case of comp ti heed beets made out by . the hon. Mir 'net to ju-tiy tbismea• sure, which proce:-ded °away upon a ptinciple of surmise. It treating were to be deemed a corrupt practice, he saw no rea son why they should not, with equal reason, legislate against the influence of property, or ever. of eloquence, which, by fat sitting the fact, might lead men to a vote on calmer r. llection, they would regret. Its effect would be to intro duce heartburnings in several towns, the effect of which would be most prejudicial. The hon. member for Montrose was anxious for household suffrage ; if the house wanted that, they had it in the freemen of s me existing boroughs ; but the object of this bill was to extinguish that class of elec tors. He was well acquainted with the virtues and merits of freemen, though he was not returned by that class. It was said the thief commissioner was to be named by the Lord Chief Justice; but ho had ae:uelly heard the gentle mm already named by the promoter of this bill. (Hear, hear.) lie understood the appointment was to be given to the late hon. member for Bath. (Hear.) lie knew what it was to be examined tot three days belore a committee of that house on election mitten, and to have his banking ac aunts rummaged over and exposed to individuals of the op posite party. Some such inquisitorial proceeding might take place under this bill, which, though only applicable now to 1 12 or 13 boroughs, might on a future occasion be applicable to 80 or 100. This would be a precedent in the next parlia ment, when hon. gentlemen opposite might perhaps be in a minority. (Hear, bear.) Tan measure would perpetuate ill-blood in half the towns in the kingdom; it would become a perfect nuisance ; parties bankrupt in fortune and character would busy themselves in getting up these inquiries and t o menting discord, while the respectable classes would hold themselves aloof. Expenses the most ruinous would be in ' currcd ; and this was not the way to purify a constituency. (Hear, hour.) The Solicitor.Oeneral, a.: the legal protector of her Majesty's subjects, ought to have taken care that no - party was expend to such a heavy peualty. (Laughter.) - ale hopedthat local authorities would mark their disapproval . :71 manta bx .he us trmA: that to such queetions the committee would address itaelt. Mr. BANKES raid a few words in justification of the course he had pursued. Mr. GODSON wi-lied to know, in refers-ice to the first clause, whether tit, Lord Chief Justice had consented to accept the irksome duty of appointing the earnmi.sioners? Sir J. DANMER said that the Lord Chief Jastice had consented to do so. Mr. GODSON—That being so, the qtestion arose how far the 11 npie of Cammens would consent to give away its jurisdiction. The fIOLICITOR GENERAL said the house would act part with he juriedictMn at all, because the commissioners to be appointed would have no power to disfranchise the boroughs. The object et the hill was to give a convenient mode for seer 'Mining evidence on whims the house was to act. There was an appearance of ice insiiaeney in the Chief 'entice appointing the commissioners in the first instance, and afterwards the Speaker; but that arm , from a dieincli. nation to name the commissioners in the bill itself, lest it might be said that they were selected for their political opinions, and the Sleeker did not wish to make the ap. pointment in the first instance. (Hear, hear.) Mr. lIEN LEY thought the bill vicious and ill contrived. Ile should like to know from the Solieitor-General on what authority it was stated that the Lord Chet Juatice would take upon him,. if the appointment of the enromimionen. It was reported also that certain persons had been already selected for the office. Sir G. GREY said that no nomination of commissioners had taken place, and if the clause were edepted th,. Lord Chief Justice would be at liberty to chose from the en tire bar any persons whom he thought prop r. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said what was intended was that the comnnis-ioners to be appoii.tad by the Chief Ju stice should inquire into the bernuphs mentioned in the schedule, and that when they made their final report they should befancti (Irwin. But with Tepid to any fatale boo roughs which it might be necessary to inquire into, the in quiry was to t.dee plum under the 17th sec. Col. SIBTirIORPIWd the bill was the most clumsy he ever read, and he would oppose it in every stage. Mr. ANSTEY (amid cries of "Divide") a bserved tint the 7th clause was so worded that the commisConers would have to go into questions of usage and custom. and might protract their inquiries indefinitely. Mr. GODSON asked if the tort-miesioners' decision was to be final, and Mr. HENLEY said he should like to know pr cisely what their powers were to he. Mr. NEWDEOATE expressed his belief that the go. vernment lead not decid-d at all with respect to these com missioners until five minutes before they came down to the he use. Mr. BANKES said these commissioners were required to report the names of parti: a whom they might " find guilty" of bribery. Was it not an a , :au to give such an authority power to brand people in s.ich a way ? He moved that the chairman report progress. Lord J, RUSSELL supposed there would be no objection to divide on the elate*e itself, provided progress were then reported. Mr. BANKFR assented. The house divided on the clause —For lOB Ai:6mi 39-69 The CHAIRMAN then reported progres. eud obtained leave to sit again. WRIT FOR DERBY, &c. Sir J.

JUNE 16. - - IT appears, from what fell from L•trcl PALMERSTON in the house of Commons last night, that Senor ISTC RITZ has left Loadon, not in consequence of being recalled by his own government, but from our govern ment feeling it necessary to retaliate for the insult put upon Sir HENRY BULNV ER. All parties in the late debate seemed to feel that this insult must be atoned for, and government had no choice left. But Twitters cannot ,rid here. Two such nations as England and Spain cannot turn their backs on each other, because the epauletted minister of one hap pens to be mad. We have largo interests in Spain ; very many debts due by Spain, not only to English men, but to the English government; and we find that English gentlemen are daily imprisoned and maltreated in Spain. Nothwithstanding the diplo matic breach forced upon us, we must protect British subjects and British interests. We understand that one of the first steps of M. LESSEPS, the French ambaseadcr, after his arrival at Madrid, was to claim from the Spanish govern ment payment of the large sums due to France and the French on divers accounts. 'lbis may be con sidered very ungracious on the part of the French government : but it wants money, and is not to be trifled with. And we should look very foolish cer taint if M. DE LAMA E could force the Spaniards to pay down and settle their accounts, whilst we, the great creditor and benefactor, are put off, not even with kind words, but with insults. It is therefore fitting that immediate demands should be made for payment of the sums due from the government of Spain to the government of England, accompanied by a demand that justice be done to the claims of British subjects, as well as reparation made for wrongs to British subjects by the present govern ment. As to taking Cuba, or the Philippines, or de daring war—that is all idle. No one dreams in this country of invading or conquering any of the dominions of the Spanish monarchy. But we are not to be cheated as well as insulted. And there are about 900,0001. due from Spain for stores and arms and aid to support the present Queen and the go vernment, that chooses to call itself constitutional. If payment of this be denied, a precedent of how to act will be found, if we mistake nat, in the files of the Ga:ette for 1823, when Mr. CANNING informed Kit; I=LNIAN r, or the Spanish ;;overatavat of that
