THE mutiny in the army has so engrossed the attention of all Europeans in India that no one has thought it worth his while to send us word how the native civil servants an deporting themselves at the present crisis. It is not " Young Bengal" that we are apprehensive of. The declaimers in that native press whose ferocity has frightened the Legislative Council of India into its silly, offensive, and useless Pme Licensing Act, are a small knot of yomig men in whom a half-European education has excited a fantastical admiration of old Indian usages, akin to the medieval follies of English Puseyites and Scotch Celtic So cieties. They have no influence over the general feeling of India. The great bulk of the natives listen to them as Deese OlendinisiNg did to Sir Piercie Shifter. Bat the native lawyers, and interpreters, and taxicttheram, are every different—a more prac— tical, influential, and unscrupulous clam of men. Our object in these remarks is to point out how all civil authority may be, and most likely has been, paralysed by the military mutiny in Bengal. To the perilous position in which . British India is placed by the dissolution of its defemive force we need scarcely advert. The temptation offered by such a state of &Shire to the ambition of native princes must be well-nigh irresistible. The arrest of the King of OCDE may be a mere measure of precaution, and the King of Dexiii may be acting under compulsion; but it is certain that the contingent of the Rajah of GWALIOR (Scindiah) is in fall revolt, and that the Telegraphic Wire has been cut in the neighbourhood of Indere— the capital of Holkar. All these things, however, ought only to stimulate the Government and people of England to prompt and energetic action. We may not have any great generals among us at present, but we haw* officers who have been trained in the tions of discipline. Mk alone gives 111 111 immense advantage ewer the =dams Ai who have had mom is dinmes.gspnlar dresitio closely know that aid WO% *he bass aminisen from the ranks, or who boss messk risen to beam commissioned officer,, a» tar mars easily lath& dated by a military force than men who have had no military experience at all. The pri vate soldier knows enough of the results el discipline to be aware of the superior power sad safety which it imparts, but not owns* to be able to turn it to account. He therefore over rates its importance, and is more alarmed in front of a regular fore* than tho ignorant civilian. Now, in our Anglo-Indies army no native can rise &bores merely subardinds rank. The coniscoesos is that in the war near waging in Bengal all whatnot/haw to torn &Wpm M asessat are arrayed on 41M• side, sea all mho mos mash= or being little more than the nose imoomsniti Mole of discipline, on the elm We have now before us the joint production of the Treasury and Board of Trade, in the shape of the In surance Companies Act, as amended in Committee. By some ingenious device, the Joint Stock Companies Act of last session repealed the 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110, substituting nothing in its place, and leaving Insurance Companies, after a sort, without any legal Motes. To remedy this oversight the present bill was introduced, and it bears unquestionable marks of the same ingenious mind which framed the illus trious clause of the Banking Act to which on former occasions we bare directed attention. As a general rule the Legislature it held it to be part of its duty to protect as far us passible the morals and pockets of the weak and unwary ; but Mr. Lowe has started evidently se the apostle of a new sys tem. Ile utterly repudiates the idea of protecting the public, except they be shareholders, for whom his sympathies are wide. Ile evidently thinks that by gis lug a biz field and no favour to the whole tribe of ifentere Tigys and getters-up of Companies he will sharpen the wits of the innocents who have money to lose, awl render the next generation= independent of all legislative care and arias' time indefatigable gantry. As the mud* wus a ray ismarahle ma for potting Life Assusisle thenpries on a sea* hotiag, and discouraging Ile neahroam schemes which, ander a pretence of 6SW lilting the public by martition, merely put mew iato the relate of needy speculators, it might hien been expected that it would be eagerly seized ail, the Government. Nothing of the kind has hem dime; or to speak by the card, little has boss dm savor- pared with what should have bees at llest eYsmgleL The Act so unwittingly moist WI for podia at least that the Insareass their accounts. Of comma they did or did eat s as it pleased them, for it was no one's buslenin to ace that the law was obeyed. The poilk however, were shrewd enough to undenrtssi S Company which neglected to do so bad very ea reasons foe the omission, and naturally looked He ctor early appearance in the Master's Office. Theseinde tote for this previolos in tie new Act is a stable.* to be registered every five or seven years, drawfasnill the assets and liabilities of the eanapanien, me* the sum assured at vicious ages, the primilmis rs• ceivable, and the special risks. What billimals of any value this can convey to the public we mat a loss to understand. From such a statement an actuary may form a pretty shrewd gum as to the liabilities of the Company, bet we defy him to form any opinion as to its means of meeting them ; and we do not for a moor mcnt anticipate that the lansgers, &c., will War the d& penalties for neglecting to lodge their ae counts, more especially as the ten different aorta of returns will make a most imposing array of agates. In fact, there will be five halcyon years ist store for getters-up of Insurance Companies if this Bill pass, and they will owe a heavy debt of gratitude to Mr. Lowe for his sympathy with their honourable avocation. Insurance Companies complain bitterly of the hard ship of being ordered to publish periodical statements of their affairs, and in many cases it has certainly proved most inconvenient ; but the Legislature has— wisely, as we think—considered Insurance Companies as standing in a peculiar poaition as regards the public. Every Policy contains a special contract,to the effect that the holder has no claim on any assets beyond the funds and capital of the company; the sheer holder runs no risk beyond the amount of his share; sad the deluded policy-holder, or his representative, has no remedy if the meets are all consumed. The necessity for keeping the public informed as to the means these companies have for meeting their en gagements will be easily understood, if we repeat a statement we published some months since. In analysing certain insurance accounts, we found that sixty Companies had received in premiums during a given period, 1, 745,0®51.—a very gratifying evidence of the spread of prudential habits among the people. But at the same time it appeared that these sixty Companies had expended during that period the enormous amount of 1,016,0004 for management and salaries, leading us to the conclusion that the bulk of the Offices were merely founded for the sake of the emoltuseints to be extracted from thoughtlaw insurers. In fact, no small proportion of these very Offices have zinc* wound up, moms under most disgraceful circum stances. AU this is notorious--the facts are chro. nicled in blue-books accessible to the Board of Trade and Treasury and yet we find the lesson to be homed from them utterly ignored, and the trifling onfisguard formerly existing swept away. One would Ala that the necessity for compelling Insurance ONispanien to render at least annual accounts, wed for securing, u far as possible, the under ling true accounts, was obvious. Nothing of the Ott seems to have occurred to the framers of the Bill now before us. The nature of the contract and its terms, as between the policy holder and the shareholders, is apparently unknown to them. Every care is taken that the former shall be defrauded in the dark, should he fall into the hands of schemers, while a most elaborate machinery is provided to secure the shareholder, who runs no risk beyond the amount of his share, so far ss liabi lities on policies is concerned, and who bee the chance of receiving just so much of the pear holder's cub. as the Directors and Managers may think fit to divide with him. We thought that the Banks with 3301. capital were a brilliant stroke of genius on the part of Mr. Lowe., but we confess that in this Insurance Bill he has been enabled, with the aid of Mr. Wasole and Sir 0. C. LEWIS. to remiss even hinuel4 as the inventor of new modes of making seriallbc sob easy. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING 4, AUGUST 3, 1857. gbc Court. OSBORNE, Arover 1.

The Genoa Gazette contains a short abstract of Mazzini's article, the publication of which caused the seizure of the Italia del Popolo on the 29th ult. Mazzini, after describing the part taken by himself and his adherents in the late movements, denies there having been any intention of pillaging or blowing up public edi fices. adds that at Genoa the movement was not directed against the Piedmontese government, but that it was intended to turn the means of action which Genoa possesses to account, and to draw Piedmont into a revolutionary war. Mazzini con cludes by declaring that ho will not cease until he has attained his ohject. Avarrr 2. Accounts from Naples of the 30th ult., state that the Neapolitan government has authorieed the esta blishment of two lines of submarine telegraph, uniting Sicily to Malta and Turin. A decree pro nounces the reform of the postal system; other decrees will complete this reform, which is based on the French system. An emente has taken place at hernia on the subject of the octroi. A body of 2,000 peasants invaded the municipality with cries of "Long live the King!" The authorities very soon restored order, and the ringleaders were arrested. SPAIN. A Madrid letter, received in Paris, gives the unexpected, though not unlikely, news that, on the occasion of the Queen's aecouchement, Queen Chris tina will return in triumph to Madrid. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PARIS, SuIDAT ERWIN°. The departure of the Emperor and Empress for Osborne is fixed for the bth inst. It is said that hie Majesty will only bc accompanied by General Rollin, Adjutant-General of the Palace, and Count Walewaki, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Empress will only be accompanied by one of her ladies of the palace. The King of Wurtemburg has made but a very short stay indeed in Paris. He left this morning for Biarritz. The Emperor came from St. Cloud to the Tuile ries at two o'clock this afternoon, to give an audience of ceremony to the new Spanish ambassador, the Duke de Rivas. After the reception his Majesty took a drive in the streets without an escort. According to a correspondence in the ledependanee Beige, the Procureur Imperial will be compelled, for want of evidence, to abandon the clause in the indictment that the plot of which Tibaldi, &c., are accused had "received a commencement of execu- tion." If this be so, the prisoners cannot be sen tenced to capital punishment, and the plot at once assumes contemptible proportions, considering the immense noise which the Muaiteer made in herald ing it forth to the world. A awe of high treason, without any overt act, and attested by spies and approvers, deserves to be very narrowly scrutinised by the public. The Leader and Saturday Review, and the Opi clone of Turin, were seized to-day. I announced some days since the resignation of M. Verna, sub-governor of the Bank of France. M. de Germiny made an ineffectual effort to induce him to change his determination, and the Maniteur now contains the nomination of M. Andouille, Di rector of the General Movement of Funds at the Ministry of Finance, as his successor. The Preue says, in its weekly commercial review : A good deal of activity Is now observable in sans parti cular trades in Perim.

PAB,IB, SATURDAY EVENING. The King of Wurtemburg arrived yesterday in Paris, sad alighted at the Hotel du Louvre. At four in the afternoon the Emperor paid a visit to his Majesty, and took him to St. Cloud. At seven o'clock the King returned to the hotel. Prince Napoleon arrived at the Palais-Royal last night. His Imperial Highness reached Havre yes terday morning at half-past four In the imperial yacht, the Reine Hortense, from his excursion to the coast of Ireland. After waiting in the roadstead until the full tide at noon, the yacht steamed in, and took up a position in the Florida dock. The Prince left in the evening for Paris by the ordinary train. Tibaldi, Bartolotti, and Gnlli, alias Saro, were this day removed from Maras to the Conciergerie, to await their trial. M. Desmarets visited Tibaldi. Bartolotti and Grill accept the counsel assigned to them by M. le President `gain. M. Lacan, whose name has been already mentioned, will defend Grilli, but in consequence of M. Templier having other engagements, M. Desbondets has been ap pointed for Bartolotti. The two last named prisoners, who cannot speak a word of French, conferred with their counsel to-day through the medium of an in terpreter. It is understood that they reiterated the explanations they gave to the Judge of Instruction. They assert that they were sent from London to kill the Emperor, and were supplied with money to enable them to live in Paris, and take measures for the execution of the project, but that they never in tended to do the bloody deed required from them. They were, they say, in distress, and took the money with the sole purpose, in their own minds, of coming to France to enjoy themselves with it. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. We (Time') have received the following , telegra phic despatches from our Constantinople correspon dent : "CONSTA,TTINOPLE, Aro. " The French Ambassador, failing to obtain the setting aside of the Moldavian elections, suspended relations with the Porte on Thursday last, and pre pared to leave Constantinople. "To prevent that step the Sultan changed his ministers. " Mustapha Path* (of Crete) is appointed Grand Vizier ; Aali Paths, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Resehid Paths (ex-Grand Vizier), President of the Tanzimat ; Hiamil Paeha (of Jedda), Seraskier." ; STATES. LIVERPOOL, SCNDAT. The Canard loyal Mail steam-ship Arabia, Com mander Stone, which sailed from New York on the 22nd ult., arrived in the river at 10 am., with the usual mails. She has brought 105 passengers, 1,400,978 dollars, 3001., and a general cargo of merchandise. The above amount is to be divided as follows : 206,826 dollars for London, 102,189 dollars for Havre, 1,000,163 dollars and 3001. for Liverpool. The Vanderbilt, from Havre and Southampton, and the Atlantic hence, arrived at New York on the 19th ult. The news from Kansas is important. The recent insurrectionary movements had reached a crisis. The despatches received by tho United State government state that on the 17th Governor Walker encamped outside Lawrence with eight companies of dragoons. The citizens had, up to our last accounts, refused to negotiate, and bed resolved to resist when fired upon by the military. Other amounts derived from the Free State party say that the Topeka con vention was adjourned on the 16th after renomi nating the old state officers. General Lane is to organise the Free State men with a view to action at the October election. From all quarters of the country the prevailing character of the crops by latest intelligence is cheer ing and in great abundance. Captain Conway, of the ship Switzerland, who was charged with an assault upon his female pas sengers, was, after a lengthened examination, acquitted of the charge. _ . iiavannah advice, to the 16th alt. state that, notwithstanding the late anti-slave trade decree of General Concha, several cargoes of African slaves had been landed on the coast. A submarine tele. graph cable was to be laid between Cuba and Key West in Florida. Sugars were unchanged in value. Our &dykes from Mexico state that the govern ment there was to pay to England 240,000 dole., within four months, of the sum stolen from the English consul's house, at San Luis Potosi. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Massy still continue' easy at Now York. Rates un changed. Stocks slightly improved. Exchange on London doted firm at 1001 tot. A large Memos Is expected in the specie shipments to Europe. Cotton closed firm. Flour was dull, and sales were moderate, without say change of moment in prices. Wheat wes in good demand, especially for prime qualities. Indian corn was higher, with sales of Western mixed at 811 c., to 88c. Rork was &mar , but km active, with Isles of moss at 24 dol. 12c. to 24 dal. 25c., chiefly at the latter figure. fingers are in fair demand. In freights dwells more offering, and prikve have an up ward tendency. The New Orleans cotton market, on the 20th ult., was re ported quiet. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. r, SUNDAY, The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Sultan has arrived with the Peninsular mails. She left Lisbon the Nth ult. Amongst her pansengers is Mr. Drummond Hay, our chargé d'alfaires at Tangiers. . . . . _ Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of 3,9871. sterling. H. 11.8. Vulture was at Gibraltar. The Bruns wick had sailed for the West Indira, and the Cu. cacao for England. The Tentonia bad arrived at Lisbon, from the Brazils. _ _ A great sensation had been caused at Oporto by the discovery of extensive frauds in the wine trade. It appears that mixtures to represent port wine are manufactured in England and Hamburg, and sent out in ships to Oporto, when by means of falsifiedl certificates the mixtures are imported into England I as port wine. About three thousand pipes of these Warms sea now in London. Ten pipes of the mislanas have been seized by the customs at Oporto as board a ship from England. The captain declared he had the pipes on board merely to give the wine the benefit of a sea voyage. The mixture has been tested, and found to be a composition of bad alcohol, molasses, and the essence of tar. The Portuguese authorities refuse to give up the ten pipes. There can be no doubt but that they would have been im ported into England and *old as the veritable pro duction of the Douro shipped at Oporto. The Prince of Orange is shortly expected at Lisbon on a visit to the Xing of Portugal. The salt deposits at St. Übe, will not be more than en average yield. Exchange at Lisbon on London for thirty days is 631 ; at ninety days, 54. From Gibraltar we learn that the 30th, 47th, and 65th regiments are to proceed to England. The 48th is to be moved from Malta to Gibraltar, and the 68th is to be sent home from Corfu. The French ship-rigged clipper St. Louis, 2,000 tone burden, with an auxiliary engine of sixty-horse power, has been chartered by the British govern ment to take out troops to the East Indies. She left Gibraltar for Cork to take in the troops. THE WEST INDIA MAIL The Royal Mail Company's steamer Parana, Cap tain Bevis (Admiralty agent Lieutenant Cartwright, lts.), arrived at Southampton on Saturday, with the West India, Pacific, and Mexican mails. Her dates were Tampico, June 30; Vera Cruz, July 6; Havannah, 10; Santa Martha, 7; Greytown, 5; Carthageua, 11; Chagrea, 0 ; Jamaica, 12 ; Hayti, 13; Porto Rico, 15; Demerara, 10; Tobago, 9; Trinidad, 10 ; liarbadoes, 12 ; Grenada, 11 ; Cariacoa, 10; St. Vincent, 11 ; St. Lucia, 13; Martinique, 13 ; Guadaloupe, 13 ; Antigua, 14; Dominique, 14 ; Montserrat, 13 ; Nevis, 13 ; St. Kitts, 14 ; Tortola, 14 ; St. Thomas, 10 ; La Gwyn, 6. Her cargo comprises silver and gold to the value of 2,169,383 dollar,, on merchant account. The whole of the cargo was contained in upwards of 700 packages. The Parana brought home 121 saloon passengers, amongst whom were the Spanish Admiral Quesada, Mr. Corral, the Venezuelan envoy to France, and Mr. Hesse, the charge d'affaires from l'russia to New Granada. The yellow fever is believed to hive been at its worst in the West Indies, and a change for the better was thought to be approaching. The Parana had 30 cues, and only three deaths, the last of which happened on the 26th ult. From the West India Islands there is no news of importance. The crops are rather over the average. The planters are prosperous, and in good spirits. Estates are in great demand, and when one is to be sold adosen persons arc competing for it. Advice' from Verona Mate that Marshal Radctzky had so far recovered that he was on the 30th ult. to remove to Milan. Our correspondent at Bombay (says Smith, Elder, end Co.'. Hartman!

REPRESENTATION OF BIRMINGHAM. On Saturday a large meeting of the liberal elec tors of Birmingham took place, for the porpoise of discussing the choice of a successor to the late Mr. Moats. Mr. Alder man liodgmn presided. Mr. Aldermen Lloyd introduced the name of Mr. John Bright, whose services in the cause of commercial freedom and general promos Mr. Lloyd thought peculiarly qualified him fora ropreeentative of Birmingham. Admitting that Mr. Bright's view, on the peas question differed from those of the constituency generally, Mr. Lloyd thought this a minor oonaideration, so there was no fear of the peace party becalming too powerful in the House of Commone. Mr. Aldermen Manton, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Holland, and other gentlemen strongly sup ported Mr. Bright's name, which was most favourably received by the meeting.

Mr. Att wood, who was present, and had been spoken of, covered his determination not to come fanfold, and it was intimated by one or two speakers that Mr. Matthews, of Corbym's Hall, was not "up to the man on the Jew iv:welkin." The meeting wee adjourned till the evening, when it wee again very numerously attended.

THE ifellN DR4INAGE OF LONDON. The gentlemen who have had under cousidemtion the plans proposed by the Metropolitan Board of Works for carrying nut the main dunnage of the metropolis have made their report, in the form of a aerie* of " ooncluaions." They are of opinion that the plans do not provide for the removal of a. sufficient quantity of sewage from the metropolitan districts. The report, after pronouncing against " the /*- celled deodoriestion of sewage," goes on to obecrve, "That the valued the fertilising matter contained in London sewage is undoubtedly great, bat that the large quantity of water with which it is diluted precludes the possibility of ling more than about one-seventh part of this fertilising matter by any known economical process." The sewage is too large to he conveyed from both sides of the river to one outfit'. They are of opinion "That the beet outfall on the north tide is a piece between Mucking Light house and Thernex Haven, in Sea Reach; and that the hmt outfell on the eolith side is Hien= Creek, in the Lower Hope. That in order to intercept the sewage of a large area, a level should be adopted a little shove that of the highest tides—vie., five feet above Trinity high-water mark, es the level from which the sewage should gravitate et the River Lea on the north ride and the River Itavenebourrie on the south side; that the sewage should flow thence into main mitten channels ; and that in the main outfall channels use should be made of tidal water near the metropolis to amid the flow and to effect at the semi time the dilution of the sewage." The commission estimate that the works would occupy five years in construction, and they recommend that all districts which make use of the main outfall channels should contribute to the cost. With regard to the latter point, they state "That the coat of the main outtall sewers will be 3,144,3001., and the cost of the internal system of intercept ing sewers in the metropolitan district will be 2,292,963/. end the total coot 5,437.963'. That if the coattail channel; were not carried beyond B in Erith Reach the expense would be reduced by a cam of 1,719,3001." The report, which is eddivesed to Sir B. Ilan, tie mined by nought. flatten, Thomas Simpson, and T. E. Blackwell.

This committee assembled this morning at 12 o'clock; Mr. Sothoron Esteourt in the chair, and pro ceeded with the evidence of tho petitioner The first witness called was Mr. St. George Smith, the proposer of Captain Moore at the last election. Ile stated that be had lived all his life in Dregbeda end took a great in.. tenet in the elections there. Some of the moot respectable of the liberals at the las election offend their support for the re turn of a efinaervative. Captain Moore we not altogether stranger. Witness accompanied him in Ms canvani,which met with a moot favourable reception. The non-electom themeeleas cheered Captain Moore and his conveners ea they passed along the streets. On the Monday, when the ex/indention woo made, it wee found that the number of promisee obtained by Captain Moore was se large that there was no moral doubt of hie being returned, but on the following day a mast material change took place In the feelings of the people, who had become so much prejudiced in that short time that Captain Moore could not venture to shoe eh. self In a crowd, and when they attempted to mat e ,. the canvass they met with frequent interruptions. The ex citement was then el) intense that it was not safe to go through the streets. On the day of nomination the scene outside of the Court House wee terrible, and much rioting was going on. When the door was opened there was a terrific rush, which carried him in and in a moment the ball was crowded. When Mr. &Mann was proposed the people were quiet, but when he (witness) attempted to 9eek hie re ception was meek worse then he expected (Laughter), and Mr. Jordan's reception was still worse. The seems in the hall became extremely violent. Mr. Jordan was spat upon and greedy needled. but he did not see missiles thrown. After the nomination via over, the people were in a very excited state ; he was insulted on his way home. After discussing the subject with others of the committee, he made a eommunication to Captain .Moore, to the effect that, from the excited state of the town, and the violence that had taken piece, it was thought ad visable that ho should withdraw, inasmuch so it would be impossible, without riot and bloodshed, to bring up his voters. At that time the subject of the petition was never mentioaed—never dreamt of. Cream-examined by Mr. Chinn—Wan not an orangeman. Was never pedant at an English election when a proteo tionie candidate was proposed. tip to Saturday he wise not aware who the conservative candidate was to be. Re had been hooted. On the Tueaday be called upon the stipendiary magistrate, and said that there was a report that the troopa were to be withdrawn, sal it was impossible, if they were, that Captain Moere's votes meld be brought to the poll. He may have been out of the way se long as 1818 to avoid a Speaker'e warrant. Nether hi nor the committee were applied to for money to carry the election, but the question of money was certainly mentioned before Captain Moore commenced his Genesee, and the amount of from 1,200/. to 1,8001. wee calculated as being neeessary. It was thought that the money would be necessary to protect the Totem, because they anticipated a riot, but he would wear that they did not provoke it. The witness was being cross-exarei- -. • report left. very sharply when DUBLIN. The select committee appointed to inquire into the validity of the return of Messrs. Greg" and Vance for the city of Dublin, re-assembled this morning at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the further hearing or evidence. Mr. James Farrell, a weaver, stated that be had been secretary of the I'retestant Freemaeone' Fellowohip Society of Dublin for four years. That society was a benefit society, in which Mr. Lilly had some Interest, and by the organise lion of the society it was understood that its sup porters could use it for election pure ere. He euppoeed that every man felt uneasy at not being remunerated for hie vote in 11852, what else could they be uneasy at f (Laughter.) They thought that the ormaitatim of the society would procure there ouch an influeneethot they would not be again disappointed. There were perhaps NO members. The tint regular election meeting was held on the Monday be fore the polling day, and another was held on the following Friday, when Lilly was pmeent. Setae excitement was mired by the reports about Vance and Grogan's getting their courage up to the point. (Laughter.) The remit of the meeting was that the members present pledged themselves to support tended .1:-11:6;iNn . oatnmatteliknde2Zfal. tprlre re solution which was passed at is meeting when Mr. N awe was present, but witness was out of the room at the time. The society subscribed towards relieving and burying the freemen, and at the meeticg of Monday, to which be bad alluded, it was arranged that the fresiuen Mould attend the nomination, and make a decent appearance. Those who went got 2e. fed. cash. There was a meeting at the Music-hall, et which witness be lieved Maser,. Grogan and Vance were prevent i but the cheering—(Kentish fire, no the witness called it) — was so ince...sat that he himself could not stay there. The freemen who attended the meeting had 2a. 6d. There were about _forty there, and they kept up the Kentish fire as well so they could. (Laughter.) There was also a meeting at the court-house, and about thirty-oil freemen, who were voter.. attended there, who were oleo paid for their attendance The funds came oat of the society. Lilly took the chair on one occasion • he mom specially to answer the grumblers, whO complained that they did not get what they had been promised. He said—" I suppose that you expect I will say something to you," and they all cried out—" Yea; whereupon he said—" All the premises I made to you shall be fulfilled, hut it would not be prudent to say more jolt at present." (Laughter.) Lilly is a shoemaker and sexton at Molyneux church. The men were grumbling about what they had grumbled at in 1852—not being paid. There were about eighty freemen present at that meeting, which was held after the election. Amongst them were Hulett and Moy, also Joshua Conway. After the meeting, when the otragglme went away, a ',elect few remained behind, to whom Lilly made a statement. By that time it was known that a petition had been proiented, and Lilly had told the men that he diatinctly pledged himself that their expenses would be paid, but he could Lot tell when. After the diapered of the meeting witneos asked him for some better assumeee than he had as yet given, that the poor men would get then money, when he said that he had been several times at the committee-room., and at last got the word of a gentleman upon whom he could rely, end that gentleman was Mr. Cumek. lie stated, too, that be knew he should be posed by sueh quoitione, and therefore he avoided as much so pomitile coming to tee meetings. Cross-examined—The society wee formed partly for poll. Geed purpesea and partly for the benefit of paupers. (Laughter.) There were many gentlemen connected with It who entertained strong preteetent feeliage, and he would not any that there may not have been a determination expressed that only podestaute shuuld be supported. The evidence was proceediug when our report left. BEVERLY. The osnimittee met again thin morning at 12 o'clock, * awl up to the tine when our report left they were engaged in hearing evidence on the part of the bitting member to show that the objection to the qualification was not notorious at the time of the election.
