The unionist they gave might be Ss. or 10e.

The committee, cuOsi;itingOf Sir George Grey, chairman, Mr. Montague Chambers, Mr. Coles, and Mr. l'iikington, met again on Saturday, when Mr. Ffookes DrO duced a statement of the witness Bartlett, examined on Fri day, and made to Mr. Baker, the parliamentary agent; the object in-producing it being to show that that statement and the evidence given by Bartlett were completely contra dictory. Mr. Cox objected to its reception, and The Hon. Chairman said that any statement the witness had made elsewhere could not affect the issue of the cue. If it should hereafter be found that he had committed perjury, proceedings could be taken against him. William Finn stated that shortly before the election he mw Hermman, but he did not then ask him for his vote. On the Monday before the election he was going to Willing ton, and was overtaken by Wbitwham, one of the agents of the sitting member. Whitwhena said to witness he had a couple of sovereigns for him if he would absent himself from Taunton on the day of polling. Witness said be had promised his vote, and should not do any such thing, but Whitwham, giving it, said there are two sovereigns for you, and IN. for your vehicle, and left witness, who how ever went on to Crowecombe, where he slept at the Lamb and l':ough. The next morning he had some conversation with Purley, the landlord, and told him that if Whitwham hal oilseed him 51. he did not know but he might have done what Whitwham asked. Purity then said, if I get you 5/. will you stop from home? Witness answered he did not know. The next morning witness went to Taun ton with Purley, and dined with him at the " Old Angel" and had plenty to eat and drink without paying. He was given to understand that if he left home on the following day he was to have 51. and Purley IL for taking hint away. Pursey said he would guarantee the witness 51. Witness went out of town, did not vote, and afterwuds Miss Purvey gam him 21. and Purely himself 21. James Weller, a tailor, deposed to having overheard a conversation in the Arcade at Taunton between Farmer and Tads. Turle asked Farmer if he would vote for Mills, and Farmer said he would not. Tune said. " Why not ? Is it not enough, what do you want more ?" And Farmer replied, " A great deal Min." After some hesi tation Tussle said he would double it, and make it 101., and Farmer said, " That's better, I don't care if I do." Wit ness then heard a jingling of money, and saw Turle's band go across to Farmer's. Tussle said, "Do not speak a word, and I will be a friend to you." They then went across to Mills'. committee room, and witness went to Farmer and ss,d, " You've mad* it all right, have you ?" Farmer looked at him rather suspiciously, and witness said, " All tight," and Farmer, winking at him, said, " Yea," and showed him gold in his hand. Farmer told him it was 101. Cross examined—Had formerly been a policeman on the railway, but was reported and dismissed for stopping • train. Hail alwsys voted liberal. All he had was to. for two days. Stephen Hemming', a stoneaesoe, voted for Labouchere and Mills. One tioodlarn asked him how he was going to Tote, and told bsm that House wanted to speak to him. House, the day before the election, risme to witness, and told him that be could get his 51. if he would vote for Mills. Ile went and slept at House's the day before the election, and next day House gave him 51., and he went and voted for Mills. Jane Sibley's husband kept the Ship Inn. Henry Tittle, one of the agents of the sitting member, was their landlord. They owed 101. rent, and one Matto: gave her husband 71. for the repair of • rood, and her husband voted for Mills. The committee here adjourned to this day. ATHLONE. This committee mat for the first time on Baturda , r, Mr. Bramsten in the chair. The other members were Mr. Bright, the lion. Mr. Tufa*ll, Sir J. IL Duckworth, and Mr. Egerton. Counsel for the petitioner (Mr. Lawee, the unsuccessful candidate) were Mr. Andrew!, Q.C., and Mr. Montague Nmith. The sitting member was represented by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. lluddlestone, and Mr. Meagher. Mr. Andrews, Q.C., opened the case for the petitioners, who alleged a want of qualification on the part of Mr. Keogh, and that Mr. Lewes, the other candidate, ought to lasve been returned. Mr. Keogh had not the qualification he was bound to have, and on being called upon on the polling and nomination day to give a declaration of his qua:ineation under 1 & 2 Vie., did not comply therewith, and if any declaration of qualification was made, it would be foun d that there were such heavy incumbrancea upon it that it would entirely reduce the clear annual value of thc qualification required under the act. The polling at the election took place on the 12th of July. Mr. Keogh, the Solicitor-General, polled 184 votes, and Mr. Lewes only a few, probably relying upon the [chance of Mr. Keogh being unseated on the ground of disqualification. The second petition, alleging turbulence or disturbance, had been withdrawn. The learned counsel, at considerable length, drew the attention of the committee to the Qualifi cation Act of Victoria, which provides for a property qua lification to entitle a member to a seat in parliament cf the clear annual value of 3001. Notice of defective qualifica- Um. was served on Mr. Keogh, who made a declaration of hio qualification bet rc ju-t , ces of the peace. The hoe. amber's qualification consisted of property in Mayo and ela.where, alleged to be of the annual value of 1,0001., be ewe t personal qullification in mortgage and lands in which sperional interest to the extent of 6, 1 :1 4 . 1 1. The various registers in Ireland had been searched, bat they had fa , led to find any entries of the property in question. The evidence would go so to cut down the rent charges that they could not go in aid of qualification. Then were, moreover, 23 outstanding judgment debts against Mr. Keogh in Ireland, and two en England. and which in the aggregate, withsut interest, amounted to 10,0001., and for which there was no satisfaction on the register. I I Mr . Fitsaienou, clerk of the Hewer in Ireland. produced the various declarations of qualification made by Mr. Keogh before the justices in Ireland. Mr. W. Cox, solicitor, of Pinner's Hall. deposed that he bad searched the register in Ireland, and found that Mr. Keogh had no interest in the lands or estates mentioned in his qualification. He produced aHA of judgment debts against Mr. Keogh, and deposed that there was no satisfac tion of them entered on the roll. __ - - - Cross-examined by Mr. James—Was attorney for Mr. Lewes. Ceuld net sty that there judgment debts had horn satisfied to the extent if 5,0571. Did not know whether there was an office in Ireland where satisfaction for judg agents was entered. There was no satisfaction entered in the majority of eases, and certainly not to the extent of 45,U57f. Unless it appeared on the iud,;ment roll witness could know nothing about it. Nb itness had obtained from the registrar of judgments certificates as to all the judgments and decrees against Keogh, from Vith of June, 1828, to June, 1852, and wax told by the clerk that if any of these judgments were satisfied it would be entered on the roll. Did not know that a seri large amount of property in Ireland was not registered. Witness's partner, and not witness himself, caused Mr. Keogh to be guested under one or the English judgments as he was coming out of the House of Commons. His part ner issued the process, and the sheriffs officer would not gamuts the writ, because he alleged that Mr. Keogh being a mertiber of parliament was privileged. The Eng lish judgment in question was for 304/., by a Mr. Maste, one of witness's client.. Did not know that Maule on be coming insolvent assigned over this debt. Witness did not go over to the National Bank of Ireland and ask them to allow him to enforce the writ against Mr. Keogh for debt, but took his instructions from the hoard of the bank in London to enforce its execution. Was not the solicitor to the bank, but seAng that they were eredimrs of Mr. Keogh, and being a private friend of Mr. King, the secretary of the National Bank, witness told them that Keogh bail given a qualification of land to avoid pay ing them their money. It was said, you will have an oppor twiny of seeing what these lands are when you go to inquire about the judgments. Witness received instruc tions from the board to do this, and went to Mr. Mahoney, a solicitor, in Dublin, and asked Mr. Mahoney to issue exe cution for judgment against Mr. Keogh, without giving him notice of it, and that if he did Keogh would get out of the way, and that he (Mahoney) must take the responsi bility. Mr. Mahoney refused to issue execution, and said Mr. Keogh is now Solicitor-General and if you write to him, no doubt he wil: pay you. Mahoney said lie did nut like to do this, because Mr. Keogh had interested himself in getting him a situation. The money was paid on the day the letter was written. Upon a careful reading of the art of parliament relating to the privilege of members, witness was of opinion that Mr. Keogh, under the circumstances, was not privileged from arrest, -eeived instructions thi rim- from the Bank and roceis-- reupon . to have Mr. Keogh taken in execution. Fenton, butler to Mr. Lawn, pointed out Mr. Keogh as he was coming from the House of Commons. Maisie sa:d his own solicitor had gone to Australia, and that the matter must be executed by some one. Witness was afterwards told by the sheriff's officer that the money was payed and the debt arranged. One day, when thole was in witness's office, Mr. Lewes was announced ; but the subject of Mr. Keogh's arrest IMO not spoken of, but witness was talking tom, Mauls about dm arrest. Mr. Lewes ' however, knew witness was going is arrest Keogh. A Speaker's warrant was served on 'gosh, by Fenton, in Ireland, to attend before the com mittee. Mr. Keogh came over, in conformity with the warrant, and then he was arrested. Mr. James then said he should be prepared to show the committee that upward. of 5,5001. of these judgment debts had been satisfied, and also that some of these judgments were penal bonds, and that they were for double the real amount. The committee then adjourned to this day. . THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING: APRIL 11, 1853 THE RAILWAY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SESSION.

The Great Northern Railway Company, under the provisions of their bill for extending their line towurds the City, had purchased several houses in Ray. street, the re moval of which was necessary to the carrying out of the scheme, and the men in the employment of Mr. Bedford, the deputy-contractor, hal just begun to take one of them down, when it fell, and buried some 20 of them under thu ruins. Immediate assistance was procured, and after tome hours' exertions, the pour men were dug out of the mass of brick'', timber, and mortar. Three of the labourers were severely injured, and one had his legs broken. The injured men were conveyed to St. Bartholomew's hospital, where cycry attention is being paid to them. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Oa Saturday a court was held for the purpose of taking into consideration a motion, of which Alderman Wilson had given notice, relative to the reform of the cor poration. There was a numerous asvemblage of Aldermen. ♦DDREEU OP CONOHATVLATION TO THE uultzti. Upon the motion of Ald-rtnan 'fitotarsox, scemptcd by Sir Pavan Lamina, an address of congratulation to the Queen upon the birth of the infant prince was voted, and ordered to be presented to her Majesty by the whole court. CORPORATION REFORN. Alderman WitrinisaiTilfetooTit for granted that, in consequence of what had transpired in the House of Con- 1 mons on the subject of a measure of reform for the corpora tion, the court would have no objection to allow him to alter the shape of the proposition, of which he had given notice, in order to adapt it to the investigation which was to take place. lie would now simply move that "it be re ferred to a special committee of the whole court, to consider the question of reform of the corporation of Londoa,to confer with her Maj.sty's tniniate rs thereon, and to take such mea- ' sures as they ai.y be eels i.cd,and to rep ,rt from time to time to the court." The commissioners who were to be appointed would no doubt be willing to hear the members of the Court of Aldermen, as well as the members of the Court of Com mon Council, upon a question of such importance. It land ' always been his eminioe that the delays and disappointments which had occurr.ol even after the expressed anxiety of Lord John ltussel► in IS3S to know whether the corporation had drawn up any plan of reform of its own would inevitably lead to the irtereosition of the glvernment. Still his attempts to induce the court to act had been frustrated. His object now was to supply the commission with all the necessary information relative to tree Court of Aldermen. The com mittee of the Court of Coronae:. Council was an doubt occu pied in deliberating upon the same question, and as there were certain members in tl.at assembly who were desirous se see the privileges of th•r aldermen reduced, if nut com pletely annihilated, it became indispensable that imme diate measures should be taken to counteract the effect of such opposition as the latter had reason to anticOate. Sir Perm Laynta thought that such • charge was cal culated to provoke the members of the other sou: t. Alderman WILSON proceeded Ile considered that neither court was qualified to reform the other, and that whatever improvements the Court of Common Council might suttees in effecting in its own elements and construc tion, its judgment end candour were not to be at all relied upon in any project for a change in the Court of Aldermen. ,(Bear, hear.) lie believed that a commission was the most advisable alternative which now remained, and that the commissioners would be soon able to ascertain upon which court the hanu of reform should be laid. If his ad vice had been taken years ago, the obloquy which had been poured with such industrious malignity upon the beads of the aldermen, as the enoicies of improvement and the up holders of invete rate abuses, would have long since vanished, and their t'aims to independence and integrity and to the station which they held in the opinion of those who hest knew them would have b,en universally acknoselerteed. (Hear, hear.) He rejoiced at the appointment of the- commission, as it must lead to the admission of the blemeless conduct of the Court of Aldermen ; and he hoped the court would assent to his motion, upon the ground that the more strict the inquiry was the more advantageous would be the result to those must essentially interested. (Hear, hear.) Alderman 11IONIPSON said the commission would no doubt be appointed, and the court would consistently accu ululate all the information in their power for the use of the commissioners; but there was one part of the proposition of Alderman Wilson which he could not think of adopting. He did not see why the court should use language calcu lated to show that they had a lurking desire to be in favour with her Majesty's ministers. '1 hey should act indepen dently of all ministers. (Hear, hear.) He was glad of the inquiry. it would show that • (else estimate had been made of the Court of Aldermen ; and if, after the inquiry, ministers should briug an unjust measure into parliament, there was still au appeal to which resort could be had. , (Ilea., hear.) Alderman F, I throne. Lza—We can go tt the foot of the Alderman 'l UONIPSON—The court was conscious of the reetitude of its actions and intentions, and an application for extraneous aid would be altogether despicable. He should therefore more as an amendment that the words im plying the desiro to confer with her Majesty's ministers should be omitted, and he trusted that the court from re gard to its own character would adopt his view of the question in that respect. (Rear, hear.) Alderman F.titrrsttoTnut seconded the amendment, and declsred that he had in his speech on Easter Monday, at the Mansion-house, given a hearty invitation to her Ida jesty's ministers to investigate and inspect all the proceed ings of the Court of Aldermen. lie had stated upon that occasion that the sidemen performed their arduous and important dui ies without the slightest reward or remu oeratioo, except the tccompcnse which sprung out of the gratification that they honestly performed their duty to their fellow citizens and the public. (Hear, hoar.) Sir PETRI. LAURIE denied that there was any charge against the Court of Aldermen, or ground for charge. The administration might, it they pleased, proceed at once with the commission. lie did not apprehend the slightest dazger. Already the noise about the coals was at an end ; and other misapprehensions and misrepresentations would have a similar issue. Alderman WIRE supported Alderman Wilson's proposi tion, and rejoiced that toe commission was to be appointed, for he was of opinius that an investigation into the affairs and proceedings of the Court of Aldermen was necessary, in order that a public and perfect refutation might be aff trded to the idle and scandalous generalities which were written an# uttered to their prejudice. The court loudly applauded the speech of Alderman Wire, but the majority decided in favour of Alderman Thompson's amendment, and the words signifying that the committee were to confer with her Majesty's ministers were expunged. Alderman Wth.sosr expressed much regret that the court had not adopted Dice view of the question by proceeding to reform themselves. The court then adjourned. DUBLLN AND KINGSTOWN RAILWAY. The stated half-yearly meeting of this company was held in Dublin on Saturday, Mr.A.B.CaNz chairman. The directors' report, which embraced the whole year, conveyed the following, among other items of information to the shareholders:—The gross number of passengers Turing the year was 2,479,494, being an increase of 176,404 over the preceding year ; the gross income for the year from all sources was 52,970/., being an increase of 3,639/. over that of the previous year. Nor was this additional traffic accompanied by any material increase of expenditure, a small increase, which appears under that head in the accounts being chiefly caused by a payment of arrears of rent for land occupied by the Dalkey line, and by some addition to the stock of materials in the engine and car riage departments. The report says—" During the last year the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company have made much progress in the construction of their line from Dun drum to Bray. In October last, they opened negotiations with this board for carrying out the arrangernsnts existing between the companies, with some modi fications therein; believing your interests would be pro meted by amicable arrangements, we have given our best attention to this important subject, and expected that at this meeting we should have been able to bnng the matter under your consideration; we regret, however, having been disappointed in this expectation, but expect we shall soon have an opportunity of submitting, for your consideration, any arrangements which may be proposed ; and, until then, we submit it is not expedient to enter into details. The statement of accounts shows an available balance of 26,0051., including 2,5711. carried forward from last year. Out of this the board paid in October last a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year, amounting to 13,7501. ; and they now declare a further dividend of 3 per cent., making together a dividend of 8 per cent. for the year on the paid up capital of the company, and leaving a balance of 4,0051. to be carried to the next account." A long discussion took place, some of the shareholders arguing in favour of a larger dividend, inasmuch as the directors had retained a sum of 4,0001. to be carried to the next account, for the purpose, as alleged, of keeping a suffi cient amount of capital on hands to meet the expenditure attendant upon the building of a shed at Kingstown, and other sources of outlay ; while the shareholders seemed to be of opinion that the net revenue arising from the traffic should be applied to the payment of a dividend, and that the erection of the shed at Kingstown should be at the expense of the capital account, After some explanations on the point, and on this project of the Dublin and Bray, and the Dublin and Wicklow Railway, the report was unanimously adopted and the meeting separated. THE WAGES QUESTION.—A good deal of nits- tion is going on among the working ; classes at Bristol and its neighbourhood, for the purpose of obtaining from the employers in the different trades, a higher scale of wages. The movement has been participated in by carpenters, joiners, masons, shoemakers, plasterers, and other trades; and it has now extended to the lowest class day labourers. in many instances the wishes of the men have been acceded to, in others modified arrangements have been come to be tween the parties, while in some cases strikes had been re sorted to by the men. Some labourers employed at the ex tensive bone crushing and manure factory of the Messrs. Procter, wbo had been engaged by the firm in consequence olthe refusal of their old hands to work, were attacked by a mob of men, who beat and ill-treated them. The assistance of the police was called in, and two of the ringleaders were apprehended, taken before the magistrates, and heavily fined. A letter received at Bristol from i taverfordwest, states that there has been a partial strike among the "navvies" engaged in making the railway near that town, and that Mr. Cornier, the contractor, bag been compelled to apply to the magistrates. the navvies require 3d. per day extra. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A lad accident °C oined on Tuesday to a poor fellow named Frank, well known at the Cheltenham station of the Midland Railway. Frank had met with an accident once before, when he suf fered amputation at the thigh ; but his agility in hopping across the line with his wooden leg was often the subject of wonder to parties waiting for trains. Yesterday it appears ho was shunting a train, when ho was caught by one of the buffers,•and before lie could extricate himself was mutilated in a shockint manner. Tile body now awaits a coroner's inquest.—Cheltenham Examiner. PRINTING IN KALMUCII.—The imperial printing establishment of Vienna, the polyglot pro auctions of which attracted so much attintim tiro Lirc3t Exhibition in Ilyde Park, has jast added t its typoeraphicai resources a rat of Kalmuck types. By means of these the wide re searches of Professor Jul, iii the Kultnuck language will shortly be glum to the weed, .

A good deal of even money was betted between them. At the clote, hewer, r, the cur rent offer against the laver was only 9to 1. Iloneywood also sprang to 10 to 1, taken; and Ninnyhammer ad-anced a point or two. For the Newmarket Handicap E:belbort and Content ment were by turn , the leading favourite. The closing quotations showed them to be " head and head." Norm had numerous friends; 7,6, and 5 to 1 were taken to various gums.
