With respect to eseepoon, it was admitted that the court had no jurisdiction over them until deem, last, and since that 900 lioness had been drained, sod two miles of sewers bad bean built within their Juriediee dos. Mr. Simon admitted that, ma that his accusation and uselpu ton went together. Mr. SIDON —No seensation. Mr. BLAKE—The pineal tons of lbe report was eft sl edinsatioa. (Hear, bear.) Mr. SIMON beeped most unequivocally to disavow any hit ntios te• a iopting an *nugatory tone in his repott. Mr. BLAKE accepted tte disavowal. As to closing all the usegools in London within twelfth months, he believed it would bs impreeticable; and, even it it were, the nuisances created would he greater fur a time than that which was removed. In one point he agreed cordially with the report, and that was its maw neadation that a tid .1 OM should not be made the recipient of the bump of a gnat city. (Hear, hear.) The recom satiation ter lengthening the sewers to proven' nine at cartels periods of the tide, he thought was premature : kientifio men were at present employed in foundering a I means hy which the sewage should be diverted from the c*ty altogether (Hear, hear.) One word or two with respect to the water supply. He quite concurred se to the advan tage of a more akindent supply, but Mr. bison did not tell them where they were to ge. it, and it wee motorbus that they could i of inert see the till pply from the am cm at present andehle. Now, with nine' to the comparative alvantagu of continuous end intermittent supply, ha begged to call the atten d icsa of the court to an tmalypis which had been per ! pare by Dr. Wicket. ed for the General Board of Health, I is,.. which it appeared that in awes untionously supplied the -upply was only 80 gallons per house* per day, while in London with its intermittent supply the inhabitants of epoch house had 200 galloos. (Hear, sear.) It was quite clear that is pieces when the water was dribbled through • pipe ado Niger than a quill, the supply altiongh eciatinuous nu ,ht be lass e M ant than on an intermittent system so abuudast as that of the City of Landon. (Hear, hear.) Bewley it was quite Mu that hat any &endont happened to the main pipe, the supply would be at onus stoppid, wherks, with en intermittent supply, and a system of ca. furnace, there would be time to remedy the inconvenience. (Herr, bear.) As to the argument against leaden cisterns, it cutlet be got rid of by the eithetdution of slate, which was the cleanest et all possible reservoirs. Ou the point of is pesos, also, it appeared that the intermittent system had the advaninte, es it gave an average expense to nab cot tau of 7e Id., while the continuous supply cost 10s. 41.

Yesterday the first anniversary dinner of this in stitution took place at the Albion Hotel, Aldengatt-'treat Mr. Charlet, Dickens in the chair. After propoidog the health of bar Msjeerv. Mr. Dickens gave " Priam Almrt, and the net of the Royal Family," and he reminded the company that this was the anniversary of the birthday of the Pioneers It lye!. Ho would therefore savant that they shntld connect with the toast their good wishes for many happy returns of the day to that dastinguished young lad ifte tout having been received with enthusiastic applause, • The CHAIRMAN said at now became his duty to give what was usually milled the toast of the evening; but he would promise them that what he said should ha said earnestly and to the purpose, at once as mush and as little as possible. As be learnt from the pamphlet which bed been pla , vii before him it was tea years since the newevenden (being a large and industr:ous body) established a benevolent and provident ir.stitution, for granting temporary relief and permanent ass SWIM to persoas engaged is their avocation. And he observed that the institution, as originated, had this ezeollent feature — that only those were eligible as permanent pensioners, who were members of the society, and had contributed to its fends—as he thought a very salatory and wise regaled in, not only as encouraging provident habits and a tech ig of brotherho d, but also as sparing the reduced recipients of their bounty, any humiliation in the receipt of those funds, as inspiring tee thought that they could take the money withaut • blush ; that he had done a just thing in subsuib lag to this society, and he did it for others no lees than for himself. He did not then know that the hour of sickness and distress, which came to so many of his fellow labourers, would come to him; bat having come, he thanked God that he wee mindful of it, and could take the pittance with an in , depoodent spirit and upright head. This institution lbw. it had a thousand pounds out at interest, was still lemendingly young — its whole life had been pa ssed in the onesery—it was so young, indeed, that it had never until this day come down to show itself after dinner. (Loud laughter.) But as there was, in the infancy of almost every Younfidnitturee& certain period when the frame was collecting vitality and strength, so he believed that this youdg creature had been employed during the 10 years of its existence in taking the aecessery amount of deep and sustenance, and that to-day • young giant was exhibited to theta for the first time which , liks the giant is she " Arabian Nights," would kick over the casket which had contained it, and Nutlike that giant) sever be able to get into it again. (Cheere end laughter.) Toe rapidity with which young children outgrow their clothes was a complaint in many families—he knew if was in his own, and' was familiar to them all. It this child of theirs did wit grow out of its first salt of • 1,0001., and get measured in quick succession for • suit of 2,0001., 6,0001.. or 10,000 L, the fault would be only theirs, and they would deserve to be made an example oL (Cheers.) For himself, as • member of the family, he should sot be satisfied unless he had an opportunity of saying to the grown-tip beatifies, " I knew you when you were a mere baby, with a very weak chest; I sat at the head of the table on the first occasion when your pinafore was taken etr; and now I ace you • 'Moog mos. who (if I may venture to adopt the phraseology of the sporting port ion of the mem) may be heard of eves • year at the bar of the Albion, and whose mousy is reedy for comers, sad who would be very slad to meet with may eastomers that Wight call upon him." (Cheers.) The skims at the newsvendine upon one another and epos the public, to erect a president institution of their own, sad to elevate themselves in the amid male, were undeniable. It was not that they toiled in all weathers—that they were up early and late— that they were watching whilst others were sleeping—that they ministered throughout the whole year to our enjoy meats—it was that they were consented with that great power which * had become the axis upon which the moral world turned mmad—humbly con nected, so doubt, but usefully and inseparably, the newsvenden were to that fountain of knowledge, popilarly sailed " the Press," what the modusts were to a Will of water, or what the pipes nader the streets of this city were to the great gas-works from which the light came that tensed the slight tato day—it was that they went for ever between us and those mighty engines which, working the whole night through, were fe t, in their faintest throb, throughout the world—it was that those men should be in some degree worthy of their trade, and should not be bottled the members of any other industrious sass, but should be up wish the foremost. It was sot more than 260 years since that the very first idea of a neweptpar was con ceived in this island, to stimulate the people to resist the Spanish Armada. It was ..ot 200 years since the first notion of • regular newspaper, In anything like the present form, was reduced to pewit.). 160 yews ago there did not appear to have been a stogie daily newspaper is Bagland, and 10 years later only one. When he compared such a state of things with that whir* now existed, he felt as if the humble men connected with news veadlog should be la advmos of those times, ia the eases degree as the newspapers themselves, and that they shetald he as musk respected in it as the papermaker or the Sttte, Tea object which had brought them together to r might at lest appear small enough—but it was so large aid emamprehemelve in principle that it deserved their best coadderatim. His opinion was that every follower of that peat plonk whisk was ever turning up the world, and knew no semen of passe is Ib work, was entitled to their highest ososideradon.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM EVESHAM—cownenan. Gentlemen who desire seats in Parliament ars the very moths of hozsaity. Wherever the consuming flame of corruption barns the most intensely, there the parliamentary candidate of small pretecemotm and large poise is certain to be found latteriog. Mr. Alexander Raphael, —l, O -roreered r es the whig can didate fot lavalliere i; 183 b: is a resserirAhle instance it: 'yang, for this gentleman has suceessi himself to th e worst constituencies in it whisk Bysshe's, Pootefrest, sad St. Mbsas say be beentand has managed to quarrel with all of them, k getting into a little scraps respecting a bo rough in the sister island. Bat at Bonham, in 1830, Mr. Raphael was not the may moth. Mr. Quineey Harries, whose name has also been associated with many corrupt constitnen eke and lost elections, came down and put himself in the hands of the agent for " the Blues," the same esucientions gentleman from whose correspondence with Sir Roger Greeley we have ventured a few ex treme,. Mr. Harries wee introduced to Evesham by Mr. Retch, the Middlesex magistrate, and subsequent member fur Ktaresborough, who was engaged at the time in procuring candidates for *pen constituencies, krespective, it would seem of politics . Mr. Retch went down with Mr. H urries and remained at Benham half a day, making a humorous speech is favour of his friend, and then leaving him to con duct his own affairs. Bat Mr. Harness conduct of his own affairs only showed how unfit he was to manage them. The very first thing he did wu to place unlimited confidence and 1,0001. in the bands of the Blue agent. This being as much as the Blue agent could possibly expect, he took very little farther trouble on Mr. Harries% behalf. In a very few days Mr. Harries became so dissatis fied with his position that he left the town without finishing his canvass. He applied for the return of his 1,0001. It was uncommonly likely that he would get it. The agent considered 500'. of the amount in the light of a retaining fee for himself and his son in-law, and Mr. Harries might still have the benefit of their services if be pleased. With regard to the o.her 5001., he replied to him much as he replied to Sir Roger Gresley, "how c in you expect me to make out an account at such grime as this ? " But if the debt to Mr. Harries was of no other use, it wee at least savioeable in negotiating with other candidates who were now a-ked to supply the place which Mr. Harries bad abandoned. Among these candidates was a Mr. Hudson, of Park Crescent, a Portuguese merchant, who aspired to a seat in parliament. Mr. Hudson had been nibbling at Evesham, and, although a whig, had, somehow or another, gone in the first instance to the Blue . agent Tee agent told him that the party was in such a state IM cons, quence of Sir Roger Gresley's and Mr. Harries's, defections, that it was absolutely n to pat down 1,0401., as " earnest money," before he matte any canvass of the town, and he admitted that a part I of this amount would go in discharge of Mr. Harris% claim, who, said the agent, " is plaguing me and my I Ifriends to death, and applying Orr most scandalous epithets to us for not refunding." The consideration for this " earnest money ^ was to be that all Mr.' Harriss's voters (that is to say, all who had a share of Mr. Harris.% money) would be handed over to Mr. l Hudson, which would not be bribery, or a purchase— by no means,—but only "an honourable negotiation." Mr. Hudson, however, could not at this time be in duced to scatter all this bread upon the waters. He would not stand. Mr. Rotcb, therefore, was again applied to. Somebody talked of Mr. B otch himself, but it was very questionable whether Mr. Botch him self had many loose thousands to dispose of, so it was thought better that Mr. Botch should get somebody who had, and come down with him as an agent or a friend. Mr. Botch very soon after came down to Evesbam, and the electors were speedily informed that be had found them a candidate—" a man of money, and no less glum a lord r The electors of Evesham were enrap tured. The man of money, and of the peerage too, arrived a few days after in the person of Archibald Lord Kennedy, eldest son of the Earl of Camille, and father of the present Marquis of Ails& Lord Ken nedy wee a young man of noble appearance and popu lar manners. He was quite new to public life, and he entered into the fun of the election with amazing zest, leaving all the drudgery to the agent, and the speechifying to Mr Retch. As for his polities, it was by no means certain what they were. Bat no ' litics were of comparatively . little moment ; the money was of infinitely more importance. How Mr. Rotch secured Lord Kenrody is not at the present time altogether clear. He was examined rather closely upon that point before a committee of the House of Commons. He first of all declared that he was " a friend of Lord Kennedy's", then it came out that he was not " personally acquainted with him, but he was very intimate with his family." What members of his family do you know ? Lord Cassilis, his father, and I also know Lord and Lady New burgh, his sister, and Colonel Mrs. Peel. Are you in intimate habits with Lord Casoilia ? I am. In the habit of di, ing with him, perhaps, both in London and at Twkkenhain ? I am. Bat still it did not appear how Mr. Botch came to AK upon Lord Kennedy. Except that he was " a man of money, and no lees than a lord," he never told even the Evesham people why, or under what circumstance*, be brought him forward. However, Lord Kennedy was in the field in the interest of " the Blues." Sir Charles Cockerell stood on the old family influence, and, as we mentioned before, Mr. Raphael was brought down ea Sir John Erstbope's recommendation by the old whig clique I which bad supported Mr. Protheroe. Mr. Raphael's financial arrangement with the agent of this party wu peculiar and characteristic. It was 4,0001. for the NEL That he might not get the seat hie agents could Dot suppose for a moment. They could not press him to arrangements beforehand for that contingency. For his own park Mr. Raphael, as he subeequontly de clared, never intended to pay a saver if he did not get the seat "It wu not in the bond." Under these circumstances it wee highly augury for both parties to this election that they should win. Tte blue @gents, after two mel-apropos occurrences, had to gain the confidence of the electorate, and with a good candidate, " a man of money and no lees than a lord," they bad a fair opportunity of doing so. On the other hand, the whig attorneys felt the delicacy of their position. The contract with Mr. Raphael did not specify payment if the eketion was lost, and their man might repudiate and leave them in the larch. Lord Kennedy had the start. At this time the electorate of Evesham was oompireed, it may be said, of non-resident electors. There were only 145 resident voters out of a constituency of nearly 600. Forty non resident voters lived at Birmingham. There were a considerable number in the villages and hamlets round about Evesham, as at Broadway, Pershove, &c. A number of others were scattered through the west of England, and about 90 lived in London. Lord Kennedy made a good canvass amongst the residents, and then went to work in London. His committee-room, established for him by his friend, Mr. Retch, was at the Holioin-the-Wall Tavern, in the dubious locality of Chancery-lane. Here there were " suppers" and other festivities. The election was early in August, 1830. The Lon don voters in Lord Kennedy's interest were all taken down in coaches provided for them. They slept at St. Alban's the first night, at Leamington the second, and went into Evesham the third day. After they to had polled, they repaired Mr. Anthony . Kew's, in Bridge-street, Evesham, where they meowed 101. a piece for their votes, and 21. to pay for their convey ance up to London. These payments were made nn disguisedly, and as a matter of course. The out voters in Sir Charles Cockerell's interest were paid in the same way. The election wu determined by the second day% poll, when Lord Kennedy was 34 a had. On the morning of the third day • gentleman acting for Mr. Raphael proposed to poll some soot and lot voters. This was nothing lees than " a signal of distress" : the question about the paymasters having been settled at a previous scrutiny. The Mayor said he should not receive the votes of any paymasters. Thereupon a conversation earned, the partaculars of which are differently narrated by different parties. bat it ended in the mayor declaring that the poll was closed, and that Sir Charles Cockerell and Lad Keened were elected. The numbers were, for Cockers le 2 3 1 i Kennedy, 148; Raphael, 110. 1 There was no resource for Mr. Raphael's party but to petition against this return. They did so on the ground of irregular closing of the poll, in addition to which they alleged bribery and treating by both the sitting mmabars. HUNGARIAN, POLISH, AND I rAIAAN EXILE MUTING AT NEWCASTLE. Oa Monday evening a public meeting was held at Newcastle, fee the purpose of aiding the Hungarian, Polish, and Italian exiles, of thanking the 'overuse:at fn the sup ur..tt had given t e e si T i s to rkey is the refus al poo t tr i a a rve st! s tl a t l e l tstas lfik.thusragde,r, coups% I:ne. tr i penny was dined dr admiseies to defray expenses, and long be deaths Mar for cuemencicg the business the seats were all i.e,M end enheequently husdreds had to stand.

On the of Mr. Larkin, Biz Join' Fara was called t 3 the chair by anima. dos. The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceeding*, Mr. GEORGE CRAWSHAY, who was loudly cheered, regarded this not merely as • Hungarian but as aa European question; nothing but the energetic conduit of this emote, hat prevented Resale from setting upon Tratkey. That was the termination of the series of movements which commenced at Paris in Fobruary, 1841, and he (Mr. Crawday) might remark that, upon a calm exa• saissation of the proceedings of the people of Europe, he was convinced that the example of France had been too hastily followed ; and he trusted that, should France make any fresh movement, the other nations of Europe would remember that the npubbc of February had been followed by the rising of Jane—that the establishment of a republic at home had been followed by the do etruction of a republic abroad. (Omen.) owevor, in spits of the temporary defection—for he hoped it was no m' re than tem porary—of France from the cause of Esropean liberty, use Hungarian cease, but fey the intervention of Russ.a, would have triumphed. (Cheers.) He regarded the fell ot that cause as • European calamity. Some even in this country had described it u the " establishment of order " —but it was that sort of order which • Russian general once described No reigning at Warsaw, after the city had been sacked. (Hess.) Mr. Cobden had done great service in showing the weakness of Ramis, as well as el:poring the Austrian loan though he (Mr. Crawshay) could not go with him in hi:recent declarations with respect to peace. (A votes "We of no use preaching peace to a bear.") There would hove bun great claimer to this country if ado tided stand bad not been made. The strength of a country in relation to the world consisted not merely in the amount of its physical powers, but also in its boldness and spirit : and even • powerful country might be brought down 'enough the imbecility of its own government. It Britain had receded in this matter, all Europe would have said that she was afraid. There was another thing : we had • large trade with Turkey. He would not say that we ought to interfere with the affairs of every eountry in the world ; there must be seine relations before we could pros erly interfere ; but we had had relations with Turkey for • very long time. Our commeree with Turkey was more important than with soy other country in Europe. Mr. Crawebay concluded by moving the adoption of a memo rial to the government expressing the objects mentioned above. The Rev. W. PALMER, of Chatham, seconded the memorial. Lord DUDLEY STUART rose amidst much ebonies, and said-1 know that among great dies and important towns of this great eonatry which have come forward, to their honour, to proclaim their sympathy for Hungary, their desire to see the ancient constitutional rights with the modern improvements designed by Komuth established in that onuntry—l know that among these great commu nities Newcastle has been one of We first. Almon the very first meeting held upon this subject, during the struggle for Hungarian independence was held here ; I read the accounts of it with satisfaction and delight. I have since seen that noble example hollowed ins different parts (nth , country, from the north et Etoonsed down to the west of England ; and I have said to myself that it would be for me a happy and a proud day if ever I thAtid have an opportunity of expressing to you, face to face, how much 1 rejoice to find you sympathising with CI • ia may sympathy for the patriotic brave. (Loud cheers.) Bet I knew that your attachment for the psi•toi• plea of liberty, that your sympathy for those who in ionise parts, like your own forefathers, have struggled for liberty is not of recent date in your history, that it Is sot Li nhed to the present year. You have come here to con sider w hither you ought not to raise your voice* in behalf of thus gallant men who alter strugehug and fighting a brave and glericnu fish: against se paralleled odds, after deeds of the greatest valour and noble sacrtfioes for the sake of their coun try—succumbed not code Telenet the Austrians; for I do not know where that va.our has been demonstrated, except against unarmed men, prisoners of war, and helpless women --(bear, beer)—not to the valour of the Austrians whom they beat Apia and again, and turned out of the country • for there was a lime when there was scarcely an Austrian moldier in all Hungary, there were only • few in • remote corner of the country. (Applause.) You are met in the cause of those refugees who were not vaernatetted by the Austrians, but were overwhelmed by innumerable hordes et savage Muecovitei; who yet, however, would not have suc ceeded, had it not been for treachery in the Hungarian man. You are met in the cause of these men who, after on daring much distress, and after such a struggle, sought and obtained refuge on the Turkish territory When they had come there, they thought they were safe ; the Turks received them with epee arms. and smeared them of protection. They thought that at least they were personally safe, when ot a sudden there came a cruel and ruthless demand from two northern despots to have them given up, that they might be barbarously put to death. (Cries of "Shame.") The Sultan, setting sgreadenunple, Mehometan as he is, to many Chris tian rolers—(load teeters) —imp lied by generous impulses, at ogee met the odious proposal with a decisive "No." That was the answer of the pliant young sovereign to that infamous demand—(applause)--and the consequence was, a suspension of diplomatie internam, which, in fact, amounted to • threat of war. War is a great evil under any circum stances; but what must it be to a weak country attacked by • powerful neighbour? Tug Turkish government appealed to us; and I rejoice to know that Lord Palmerston, In hie answer, urged it upon the Sultan to be firm ; and that ad vice was backed up by men-of-war sent to the Dardanelles. The Austrians had spread • report and stated in official documents that the Sultan had agreed, with the consent of our own government , to keep them in confinement. I do not believe it; but it is not ,ufficient for a man to stand up and say he doss not believe • statement without giving a rea son for the contradiction. The t: Okla rep rte from Vienna, all through the war, were often false; and the same system is pursued by the base Austrian government now. (Applause.) They killed Count Louis Batthyany, and, not masted with his death, they now malign his character, by cnareing him with having planned the murder of Count Latour. Thera is no foundation for this state. meat ;it was not proved before his death—it was not even charged then• but they state it now. Sod are the edemas; of the base tools of the Mutant government. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord hav ing, at some length, urged the improbability of the Turkish government having taken any such course, addressed the meeting Ur some time wager upon various bombes of the question before them, and ant down amidst long-cmtinued applause. - Mr. S. DAVIDSON, a mein of Hungary, reading in the town, briefly expressed his duke for the sperstby shown towards his countrymen; and the memorial was then adopted with ono disesatient. Mr. C. LARKIN moved the adoption of a memorial &- premise Freest intervention in Rome. Mr. JOHN GALLOWAY seconded the motion, which was carried with two dissentients. Thanks having been voted to Lord D.

The committee was struck on the 9nd of December, 1890, jut after Bail Grey's govenur ant had sea ' (welded to Ake. The committee was a whig committee, Mr. B. B. Clive, the member for Hereford, vru chairman. It was obvious from the opening speech of counsel, that the object of the petitioners was to upset the return on the ground of Informality, in order that there might be a chance of getting Mr. Raphael in, Mid of securing the 4,000 k The committee very phtiently baud the evidence about the closing . of the poll ; bat it was clear that it made very little mi preesion. There appeared to have been a wrangle, and the worst that could be said wu, that the poll was closed under misapprehension as to the intention of the parties. It was far, indeed, from clear, that Mr. Raphael's friend had not consented to the poll being closed—certainly the Mayor so understood him. Under these einumitanees it was necessary, in order to upset the election, to go into evidence u to the remaining allegations contained in the petition. There was no difficulty in vroving that from 101. to 121. a piece had been paid for votes. This matter, indeed, was so notorious that almost any one to be met within the street at Evesham could have told the committee all the details. The evidence laid before the committee was as slight as could be placed before them consistently with the accomplishment of the object in view. The attorties saw the delicacy of their position. A very little proof beyond that which was necessary might lead to awkward consequences. It was not by any means their wish to bring people to the bar of the house, nor to ran the borough upon the shoal of dis fr:uchisement. They were very careful, therefore, what they proved, and they only proved just what was sufficient. The committee came to resolutions that Sir Charles Cockerel' and Archibald Lord Kennedy were " not duly elected, and that by their agents they were guilty of bribery at the last election for the borough of Beecham. It was discussed whether the com mittee should report upon the date of the borough; but, by the casting vote of the chairman, it was de cided that there was not sufficient evidence to war rant that step being taken. The report of the committee was presented on the 13th of December. Mr. Clive, the chairman, moved in the usual way that a new writ be issued for the election of members for the borough. The motion was carried. Something was then said as to the printing of the report. Mr. Clive said he saw no necessity for incurring that expence. There the matter dropped for that evening. On the next night Capt. Arthur Durcombe, a tory, who represented Bassetlaw, or, as it is now called, Rest Retford, and who had be en a member of the Evesham committee, moved, after the disposal of private business, that the evidence taken in that case be printed. It appeared that he bad been one of the minority in favour of reporting upon the state of the borough, and probably he was influenced by a desire to show that there were other places in the world as corrupt as East Retford, which only a year or two before bad escaped disfranchisement on condi tion of the hundreds being added to it. Mr. Due combe assailed the chairman for trying to stifle the case, and he expressed an opinion that the writ had been moved too hastily. Some discussion followed, and ultimately the motion for printing the evidence hay inghs been agreed to, but Lord Chandos gave notice that heintended to move that the clerk of the crown be in structed to issue a supersedes' to the writ,—a course for which there was scarcely a precedent in the parlia mentary annals. It might well excite, as indeed it did excite, sae prise, that a motion of this nature should pr oceed from the tory benches of the House of Commons; and in the case, ton, of a borough reorning tory repre sentatives. The causes of so unusual an occurrence deserve some explanation. They were these: Although no public intimation had been given of the fact, it was, even in three early days of the Grey ministry, pretty generally understood that the go vernment, at the earliest passible period, would intro duce a large and comprehensive measure of reform. Now, nothing was more desirable than to embarrass the new government, and to place theta in an unfa vourable light in the eye of the country with regard to the mermen they intended to propose. fns Evesham case appeared to present a very favourable' opportunity for so doing. The committee was a whig committee. It had only done half its work. The government must either let the writ go, which would place them in an un popular position with the country, or they must with hold it, which would place them in an unpopular puitivn at Evesham. If they flinched, they would injure theme Ives with the nation on the question of reform : if they upset the report of the committee, they might offend seine of their own friends • ithin the house. It seemed to the tories that this Evesham writ placed the government in a dilemma, and they consequently resolved to take up the subject and have a party debate upon it. Accordingly on the 18th of December the Marquis of Chandos moved that the sepersedeas to the writ be issued. Mr. Rue, the tory whipper-in, came for ward with precedents to support the motion. One or two members objects d to it; they were chiefly whig out siders. At length Lord John Russell rose. He said that this was a subject on which he should be dis posed te consult the feeling of the house. If they thought it better to suspend the writ he should not object, although such a course was very unusual, and might be very unnecessary. Sir Robert Peel argued that the writ ought to be suspended, and Lord Althorp followed in the same strain as Lord John Russell. Ultimately the motion was put, and the Speaker decided it to be carried in the affirmative. A few days after the house adjourned for the Christmas recess. During the vacation the report was printed, and immediately on parliament re assembling Lord Chandos gave notice, that he should move a resolution that " the corrupt state of the borough of Evesham requires the serious attention of the house." This motion was fixed for the 17th of February. The government at the same time gave notice of their intention to bring forward the Reform Bill on the let of March. Evesham, it was evident, was to be the skirmishing ground preliminary . to the great fight between the two parliamentary armies. On the 17th of February, pursuant to him notice, the Marquis of Chandos proposed his resolution. " For the last 40 years," he said, " the borough had always been in the market. It was put into the hands of him who would give the highest sum. and he was prepared with proof of its corruption." He then defended the purity of his own motives in bringing the case forward. It would "create genera! disgust if when a case of corruption was proved the house refused to notice it. He proposed, if this resolution was adopted, to introduce a bill to disfranchise Evesham, and transfer its representa tion to Birmingham." The resolution was adopted, and on the next night the Marquis of Chandos introduced his bill. He moved that a copy of it should be served upon the Mayor of Evesham ' and that the Speaker do issue warrants to Edward Protheroe, Esq., and a number of other persons, to attend at the bar and give evi dence upon the bill on Monday the 28th of February, being the day before the introduction of the govern ment measure of reform. Mr. Hume objected to this proposal, as calculated to impede the progress of public business, and to put the country to unnecessary expense. An animated discussion followed; the opposition urging theimportance of the business and the delinquencies of Evesham—the go vernment treating the motion as a mancetivre 0 em barrass the intended measure of Reform and as • proceeding quite unprecedented, pending ihe disclo sers of the ministerial plan. Ultimately, it was agreed that the bill should be read a second time upon the 28th February, but that the examination of witnesses should be postponed until the 7th day of March. On the 28th, however, Lord Chandos and the tories found the public excitement so strong upon the measure which wee to be propounded the next day that they " postponed the bill fora week;" which war tantamount to drop. ping it in tote. The Evesham Disfranchisement Bill was never heard of after. Benham appeared in &Wale Bal the first Reform BilL Within a very few weeks after, parliament bad dissolved. The new writ for Remit= was issued se a matter of course, and thus the borough bad a lucky escape both from temporary and per manent disfranchisement. FRAUD ON THE NOBILITY.-MRS. MARY HOWITT. To Tim 11:11T01 or Ts■ alumnae. earnestly request you, by the immediate publication of this letter in the columns of the Bop's**. • to make known an audacious fraud which tee lately been practised on the nobility and other per sons of influence, and, by so doing, to dear me from the foul stigma which it has endeavoured to fix upon me. Letters have been written in my name from 16, Upper Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, falsely repre senting waif and family as in abject cirennutanoes, and begging for pecuniary aid. Considerable sums of money have been, it is feared, obtained in this in famous manner at the above address, when rooms were hired for the purpose. I have received one of these letters, which appears to be a circular, from Lord John Russell, and I beg here distinctly to state, that the whole is a gross falsehood and forgery. Any person who 111111 received applications of this kind will deeply oblige me, and further the ends of justice, by transmitting, it' possible, the letters in questior, acd also by stating what money, if any, was sent in consequence, as the cue is now in the hands of the proper authorities, and every evidence is de sirable for the conviction of the offender, who is known. It is but justice to add, that the person from whom the rooms were hired wu, at the time, ignorant of the deception.—l am, &c., MARY HOWITT. 28, Upper Avenue-road, Regent's-park, Nov. 20. IRELAND.
