Tke LORD CXANCRILOR took kis meet oat& woolsack at five o'clock. report was that that despatch was submitted in draft, for the approval of the French government, or, at any rate, that com munications had taken place between the governments, for the purpoee of arranging the terms of the despatch. (Cries of "Order.") The SPEAKER—I considered, when I requested the hon. member to put his question, that he had stated as much as the orders of the house would permit, in the way of pre paratory information. Mr. CRAUFCRD said ho would endeavour to routine himself to the rules of the house; but he wanted to point out certain dates upon which his question was founded. The papers which had been laid on the table of the house bore certain dates. It would be in the recollection of the house, that on the 2nd of February it was announced to both houses of parliament that the Earl of Derby had undertaken to form an administration. (Order, order.) The SPEAKER—This does not appear to me to be neces sary to lay ground for the question which the hon. member proposes to Ask. (Cries of " Pat the question.") Mr. CRAUFURD—The first despatch which I have before rue board date cm the 24th Feb. (" Order, order.") The SPEAKER—The hon. member must ask the ques , lion which appeers upon the paper. Mr. CRAUFURD was proceeding to make some farther statement, but was met with loud cries of " Order." lie that said he would simply put the question, which was as follows :—" Whether the despatch of the date of the 4th day of March, addressed by the Earl of Melcuesbury to Count Wale , less submitted formally or In substance either to the Fres& authorities he Pert, ur to their representatives in England, for the purpose of ascertaining the opinion of the French government th&eon before the official preeentation of that document to the French government on behalf of the British nation." THE . Lord LYNDHURST celled the CAGLIARI attention of her MiCesty's ministers to a document which had reoently emanated from the Neapolitan government, with reference to the cam of the CogSeri, and of course to that of our unfortunate country men. The law upon the subject had been stated very pre cisely a short time ago by the noble viscount who was at the head of her Majesty'. late governmeat. The noble lord said, that if the captain of the Cagliari had voluntaaily surrendered his vessel we should not be justified in attempt. Mg to interfere in order to procure the liberation of Watt and Park; but that if the vessel had been taken toy a supe rior force on the high seas, and brought into the Neapolitan waters, then, in that ease, we should be entitled to demand their liberation. He (the noble lord) had no doubt that what the noble lord had stated was the substance of what had barn communicated to him by the late law oftioere of the crown; and he (Lord Lyndhurst) bagged there free to direct their lordships' attention to the pub liention to which he referred, bemuse it admitted ia the most distinct trams that the newel had bean captured by two Neapolitan frigates, and had been brought Into the Neapolitan waters. It went on t o grate that as the capture bad • good capture, the vessel had been °undimmed; het ft followed from the acted...ions of the Neepoeftnn go vernment, that according to the law laid down by the' noble lord, we had had a just right to insist upon the hbora lion of oar countrymen, which right existed even to this moment. (Hear, hear.) He (the noble lord) did not for ea instant pretend to say what should be the policy to be pur sued by her Majesty's government. H e waa willing to leave that to th eir discretion, especially after the long period of acquiescence in the conduct of the Neapolitan government which had taken place. He would put no question to his noble friends ; but he had thought it right to state this mat ter for their consideration, and for the consideration aLo of their lordships. ((fear, heir.) The Earl of MALMESBURY reminded the house that the rat government was in no degree responsible for connected with this cue up to the 26th of iiimVar e Y. Ile admitted that some new facts had been as certained which would justify the government in referring the whole matter again to the law officers of the crown ; their opinion and all the papers would be laid before parlia ment ; and in the meantime every means would be taken to secure for the prisoners an alleviation of the cruelty of their confinement. haring bent ex were perfectly ital. bat at the tease relative to ()wenn% for the tare the =Wi th@ poor idiot cotdd sot 1. ao Is sabers, al cribi sot to oar of • reap I that the poor it vaiortaarely adical arbiters drib arra boo marl bred all acadist. hubs& t l, TEAM to NEW TORE Direct, and the Gad Awls* mete le Came, WaL—Tlie LIP Karon'. 7I If . ami PRILAINCLPAIIA NTRAN.SIIII.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It would have been hardly fair for the hon. gentlemen to address this question to the Under-Secretary of State, because, if there were the slightest foundation for the gratuitous assumption of the hon. gentleman, he must know that this matter could not be within the cognisance of my hon. friend. (Hear, bear.) There is the utmost inclination on the put of her Majesty's government to deal frankly with the House of Commons with regard to our foreign policy—(bear, hear) — but I put it to the house whether they think that a question of this kind ought to be sanctioned by the house Y (Cheers from both rides of the house.) And I should not have said another word in answer to the inquiry of the hon. gentle man had be not, though very irregularly, gone into /OHIO comparisons and calculations of dates, from which he would seem to infer that from the interval that had elapsed there had been some unusual communication--anne surrepti tious communication, as he seems to intimate—with • foreign government. (Hear, hear.) But if the honourable gentleman, before he asked • question of this great delicacy, had taken • little trouble to inquire into the circumstances, be might have found some sufficiently valid to account for that apparent delay. In the first place It wee necessary before a despatch of that importance was transmitted by the Foreign Minister that he should at least have the advsntageof the deliberation of his colleagues. It was necessary to submit that deaw.tch, nut formally, but completely and entirely, to her Mojoety ; and her Majesty was then at Osborne. Then the state of the weather was such at that time—which I dare say the hon. gentleman did not at all consider—that for forty-eight hours no parson could cross the Channel ; and in them circumstances the apparent delay in the transmission of the despatch might easily have been accounted for. having noticed these cir cumstances--which I hope will be satisfactory to the house—l must again protest against a elms of questions which can have no advantage. (Hear, hear.) If we were to apply to the settlement of misunderstandings and misconcep tions in private life the same spirit in which the hon. gen• Homan would treat public disputes, I don't think that the peace of society would be at all promoted by such a course.

SMITH moved for • select committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the erection of the Godrevy Lighthouse, and to report their opiidoCo;7) the proper position for the same, prefacing his motion with copious details upon the subject. The motion was seconded by Mr. PAULL. Mr. HENLEY, after reviewing very fully all the skean stances connected with the lighthouse, said that, in his opinion, no practical good could result from an inquiry Were a committee, and if the motion was pressed, he should oppose it. Mr. Wyld and Mr. Bentinck supported the motion, which was opposed by Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Lindsay, and Mr. Lowe, and ultimately negatived. IMPROVEMENT OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. SLANEY then rues to move that It was expedient to establish a standing committee, or unpaid board or oorambi sion, to consider and report f romi time to time on practice suggestions likely to be beneficial to the working classes. He maid that as this was • new suggestion he felt bound to give • reasonable ground for the demand he made on the house and the government. It would be the duty of such • tribunal or council to consider and report on any plan pro posed to them, bat not to do anything that would lead to unreasonable hopes or unbounded expectations. One ground on which he made this motion wee that the committees to which separate matters relating to the working classes had been referred, had not worked out the advantages which might be desired from them or the awes of failure. Another cause which ought to induce the house to take up this matter was the great change which had taken place in the circumstances of the working chasm within the last half century. Mr. S. ESTCOURT said no man could have listened to the speech of the hon. gentleman without respecting the motives by which he was actasted—(bear)—but having hewed very attentively to what had fallen from him, he could not, he confessed, usderstand what practical measure ho was desirous of having carried out. His hon. friend would perhaps permit him to put thin matter at once to • tad. He would suppose that the motion was acceded to. that the commission was leaned, and that his hon. friend himself was, sa he very properly would be, placed at the head of it. He was quite at a lose to conceive what was likely to be the first step of the commission. Perhaps his bon. friend would desire to afford facilities, by means of that commission, to the labouring classes for sweetening how they might beet lay out their money. His hon. friend gave a sod of sweat. If the commission were appointed its practical business would be to enable the working classes to Improve their income. With this view it would, he sup posed, provide two tables—one setting forth the schemes which the commission recommended, and the other those which itswiahed to deter working men from embarking In. The first result of this would be that all who were connected with the schema denounced would band together against tho com mission, and, benevolent as were his hon. friend's intentione, perhaps he would not be able to reach his own offfos without the assistance of • body of police. (Laughter.) He would suppose that • work g man laid out his 20L in accordance with the advice given to him. It might happen, notwith -1 standing the best arrangemen t beforehand , that the scheme recommended and selected would be mismanaged and fail. Mr. SLANEY laid his hon, friend had mieunderstood him. What he said was in effect that the commission should report from time to time as to what was most likely to benefit the working climes. Mr. S. ESTCOURT faired the effect would be to encourage speculation, and to excite expectations not likely to be real ised. (Hear. hear.) Bare advice would as usual prove un palatable. After the commission bad existed for a year or two Meas. friend would advise in vain. Besideeteingimpeseticable his hon. friend's plan would, he believed, be mischievous, in set:linch as it would be made a substitute for the caution and intelligence which every man wee bound to exercise for him self. View, hear.) The commission being issued on the authority of parliament, men would be led to depend upon it rather than upon themselves, and if It led to no good remit the discredit of failure would fall upon parliament. His hon. friend need not come to parliament in order to carry out his object. Why should he not himself be the unpaid com missioner P In that came the advice given might, like that of some of the wisest men, prove not to have been the best ; but it would be the advice of a private individual, and par liament would not be responsible for the result. He trusted that his hon. friend would be contented with having ex pressed his views and not press the motion to a division. and if he did not act upon this suggestion he should feel bound to divide spinet the motion. Mr. SLANEY said, after what his hon. Mend had mid, he Amid withdraw the motion. He wished, however , to bi Z i observe is ez km that he had never contemplated work lag people advised how to lay out their money, or pre mated- from on their own Industry, care, and fore- The motion ins then withdrawn. ___ TREATMENT OF THB ERPOYS AND INSUR GENTS IN INDIA. Hr. RICH this rose to call the devotion of the house to the treatment of the mutinous semi and other Insurgents in India, and to more for the following papers :—Copies of any report or despatch relative to the protection afforded by Mann Singh and others to fnetive Europium* at the out break of the Sepoy mutiny. Of any instructions given to Akers in command of troops as to the treatment of mutinous Sspoys or deserters. And a. to natives of Dude (not being Sepoys) found in arms within the territory of Dude. The km, muaber said Ito wished W call the attention of the hones to the treatment which the rebellious Seinera bed received, and were receiving, in India. In the earlier stages of the mutiny, when men's minds were as tounded at the atrocities oummitted, it was almost impossible to secure • calm discossiou of that subject ; but the tone had now arrived when they might look the Indian calamities fairly in the face. He hoped that in the observations he was about to make he should not be misunderstood. He loathed and detested as strongly as any man could do the atrocious crimes which had boom perpetrated by the insurgent troops ; but the very fact that the nation f e lt so strongly made Mrs anxious that it should stand clear of any im putation of retaliation or vengeance. As regarded the early stages of the rebellion, he would make every allowance for the feelings of those who found themselves beset with treachery and danger, and for the stern and resolute meaner in which they stood on their defence. But at the same time he must pay his tribute of gratitude to Lord Canning fur the manly fortitude) with which he held the scales of justice, unmoved by the cruelties on one aide and retaliations on the other. The most extravagant tales had been told in this country, and bad run through it like wildfire. Some of those tales were such as made one's blood run cold. They heard of swarms of mutilated women and children coming to this country. Well, those who were most competent to form a correct opinion —the committee of the society formed for the re lief of those who wore sufferin i f throughthe outbreak in India— stated that after the most diligent inquiries, extending over six wake or two mouths, they had been unable to ascertain • dangle:ease of mutilation infteted on any one who had Lateens the shores of this country. He hoped that some immo ral instructions had been issued for the undue) of those In India. That something was required to be done in this direction was plain from the very last telegram which had reached England. From this it appeared that 1,200 men had been cut down by our troops, with the loss of but three men on our part. It was clear, therefore, that no resistance was made by the Insurgents , and it was unworthy of England and of the English soldier, that such • state of Wage—little short of butchery—should occur. He also found that one of the contingents hail been most harshly dealt with. There contingents, it should be remembered, owed but a qualified allegiance to this country. They were the soldiers of princes in alliance with us. Now in the ale to which he referred 110 men of a contingent were huddled together, shot and bayonetted in a body, in the dusk of the owning. No proper trial and calm inquiry appeared to have taken place. Again, in many letters from India the killing of Sepoys was spoken of in the most flippant manner. It was stated that they were hung up es soon as caught, and if any aatives harboured them they were themselves hung up. He could not believe this ; but he thought that it ought to be publicly disavowed by the government, as otherwise an unjust idea would prevail throughout the length and breadth of the continent. How different to this was the course taken by General Calton In Canada, shortly after the death of General Wolfe. That general had a due re gard to the honour of the British name, and he issued a manifesto holding out the hope of mercy to those misguided wretches who had fled to the woods. He did not say that the cases of India and Canada were parallel in all respects. Ho would, however, now come to a ease which was not widely different from the case of America. He alluded to the annexation of Oude. In that case intrigue was first tried; first one great personage and then another was sought after to be suborned. Those attempts failed, and then the country was seized by a coup Viet. It was no doubt necessary now that our position in Oude should be maintained, but we were not justified in treating the natives of Oude as rebels, and treating them as revolted soldiers He Raid this because he saw in the Calcutta pipers demands that Oude should be made one great slaughter-house. (Hear, , hear.) He regretted to hear that cheer ' • he had hoped that no hon. member would be bound to support such a view. He had hoped that here at least tome regard would be shown to those who were fighting in behalf of a out down country. Let the hon. member who cheered terneraber what even the Sepoys had gone through—let him remember how often they had been tried and not found wanting—let him consider whether he himself would have proved as firm as they under similar privations and temptations, and let him not, until then, venture to cheer the sentiment that without ! mercy—nay, without trial—these men should be consigned to a bloody grave. And in the instance of Oude, let the hon. member bear In mind that it was the case of a people struggling for its independence ; a people, therefore, to be treated, as an enemy, truly, but not to be treated as re volted subjects. The hon. gentleman concluded by saying that he.hoped that stern, resolute justice was done on thou l miscreants who had beezi guilty of atrocitiee, yet that mode ration should be used towards the great mass of less notorious offenders. With regard to the paper. for which he wialuid to move, he had learned, by the courtesy of the Secretary to the Board of Control, that those which related to ',limn Singh might be found, and would be produced. With regard to those relating to the instruc tions to officers, there might perhaps be a difficulty about them, and he would not prey for them ; but as regarded the third set of papers, relating to Oude, he thought there might be some papers whick night be produced. General Til.OlfOSON rounded the mottos. Mr. H. I. BAILLIE could not think that the people of Oade who were assembled under the banners of thetrets and fighting for their independence could be placed in the name category u mutinous Sepoys who bad murdered their officers. On that subject he had no doubt that proper In structions would be given. With respect to Malin Singh, when be (Mr. Bane) came into the home he was prepared to say that he had no information to give ; but since he came into the house some despatches had been sent to him, in which he found some statements relating ts Mann Singh. They were to the effect that Mum Singh, at the commencement of the rebellion, declared for the British government, and took under hie protection a number of women and officers ; but be (Mr, /Untie) was afraid that afterwards he changed his opinion, and marched at the head of a large force to Lucknow. Any information that was to be found with regard to him could be given. as to the other pspere he bad no information to give, and he hoped the hon. gentleman would withdraw thole' two portions of hie motion, and the other papers re fared to would be granted. Mr. W. VANSITTART said that in his opinion the course pursued by Lord Canning towards the committers and Astray of the crimes which had been committed, was too conciliatory and inadequate to the occasion. Mr. C. BUXTON said that no one who had considered the events of the last few months in Indi• would do anything to din:garage the men who het done their duty so well, but he thought an expression of opinion from that house would strengthen the Indian government in carrying out the manly and conciliatory policy of Lord Canning. It would be difil cult for him to keep his subordinates within bounds, and he needed some backing up from parliament. What he wanted to know wsa, whether it was the judgment of the house that I natives in India should:be hanged for simple dieaffootion. ' He, for one, repudiated these dogmas of stern retribution. I At a moment when the Austrian government was hanging up people for simply showing disaffection to their rule, it would ill become this country , to follow such an example, especially after protesting agmnst it, and also complaining of ! our countrymen being imprisoned In Naples. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that we should not repeat the cruelties of Denton ! and Colet do Herboisi, but that the government would put a ' stop to the hanging up of men simply for seeking to deliver their country from a foreign sway. This course, if persisted in, must make our remonstrances against the tyranny of Naples a mockery, and cause us to be hated throughout the civilised world. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MANGLES said that Lord Canning had shown throughout such jar t, firmness, and moderation, that he was entitled to the hest honour • end on that account be regretted the opposit that was ;need in that house to his ten name being included in the vote of thaalts. In a letter from his lordship ha expressed his belief that though he was now accused of too great moderation, in a few months he should be charged with too great severity. He Mr . Mangles) concurred in much that Mr. Rich 'had said, but thought he had made too great excuse for the rebellions conduct of the Sepoys, He spoke of the greased cartridges as buying been supplied to every regiment in the army, and their use enfireed in spite of temonstrances. To the best of his know ledge these cartridges were not issued to • single regiment as a regiment, but only to rifle schools where the men were being instructed in the use of the Mini& rifle. The very same cartridges had been wed by the soldiers for ordinary arms for years, and without the least objection the objection wee only mode when they were applied to the Ifinie rifle. (Hear, bear.) Some of the newspapers referred to by the bon. gentleman had told monstrous lies about Lord Canning, and had done all in their power to throw odium upon his measures. Much had been said about the horrible system of mutilation ; but he bad not been able to ascer tain that a single well authenticated case bad soared in Eng land. He wholly disbelieved those stories ; when they were inquired into it was generally found that the witnesses were stated to be dead. (Hear leer.) He had conversed with Captain Storey on the subject, and he was unwed that Mile Jennings was pat to death at Delhi without any We. Vio9l cruelty. (Hear, bear.)

The mea sures complained of were measures of justice. The Week dars were not the rightful proprietors of the soil, and it was an act ofjustice to expel them. (Hear, hear.) There was no objection to the production of the papers moved for. He was glad the discussion had taken place; it would tend to place Lord Canning's character in a proper light. He was confident that rebellion would not be punished as mutiny, that justice would be tempered with mercy, and that Lord Casting would prove fully equal to the duties of his position. Capt. SCOTT reterrrd to a cue which he had heard from • brother officer, where great cruelty had been practised on • young lady. Mr. ADAMS said the charge, naiad the officers rested on no better authority than neaps cut oat of newspapers ; and he was glad to find that the home was not disposed to listen to them. (Hear, hear.) It was a sad state of things,. of which the best that amid be said was, that the women and children had been mustered. (Cheers.) There might have been some extenuation if British officers had exceeded the bounds of the calm dieciretion displayed in that house. It wee an ill return for their gallantry that three slanderous charms should be brought against them. (Cheers.) Indis criminate slaughter would doubtless be a stain on t heir cha racter and ours ; but where was the proof that each Led takes place P (Hear, hear) In these diecueelons there was too much of maudlin sentiment to wards that who were no doubt great crimi nals. (Chime.) It should be remembered timk we were deal* with rebels, who were fighting us with ear own arms and store", and not patriots rising in behalf of their country. (Hear, hear.) They were now brought to their last stand, and he hoped there would be no more misplaced lenity shown. The great loss on the side of the rebels and the smalluess of our loss was the strongest proof the great military skill that was evinced by our forces. (Hear, hear.) While we showed mercy to the rebels, let us never forget the justice that wearies to oar own brave countrymen. (Hear.) Colonel SYKES said that there could be no doubt es to the opinion which he entertained on the subject under die cusaioe, but It gave him pleasure to find that those views were reciprocated by the hon. gentleman the Secretary to the Board of Control. It was remeaty to dispense justice, but it was also necessary to discriminate in dispensing it and to act in the sense of the instructions issued by Lord Canning. He had read the proceedings of the court-martial in the case of the Meerut mutineers, arid they confirmed the view lie had taken, that the mutiny was not caused by the issue of greased cartriges. In fact no grossed cartel's' had been issued at all, and the men of the third regi ment of Bengal Cavalry were aware of the feet, but a change had been made in the paper of the cartridges, and this gave rise to suspicion. The men, therefore, said, We know that these cartridges are not greased, but the other men and our own families believe they are, and therefore we eek that we ma not be forced to use hem." His hon. friend (Mr. Mang les) said the Asiatics were accustomed to nothing but despotism, and knew nothing of patriotism. He believed that was contrary to the feelings of human nature. Two thousand years ago, under the Buddhist system, th e in habitants of Wash—the present Allahabad—elected their own magistrates. In fact, every village throughout India was a little republic. There was a hereditary chief, with a village council, in which every man who held land in the village bad a tight to sit, and that was the reason that political storms did not reach them. (Hear.) Even at the present time in several of the rajah principalities, the rajahs were elected. (Hear, hear.) He thought he was, therefore, entitled to say " no," notwithstanding the high authority of his hon. irked who asserted that the Asiatics were accustomed to de spotism only. (Hear.) Mr. P. O'BRIEN disclaimed any intention of throwing a slur on the officer* of the British army in supporting the motion. It wee one thing to condemn atrocities, and another to speak against an exterminating temper now that the in surrection was nearly ouppreesed. (Hear.) It was wise to chow that they had no ideas of vengeance, and that it was their intention now to settle the government of India on solid and jut foundations. He considered it his duty to protest against the hinging(' of the hon. member for Boston. Sir H. RAWLINSON was sure it could not be the object of hon. gentlemen who supported this motion to justify the Sepovs, but to obtain en expression of opinion that It would be neither wise, just, nor politic, to be severe beyond what the necessity of the case demanded. (Hear, hear.) They had been at war fur ten months in India, and had probably fifty different combat" with 100,000 of the revolted &pop yet be believed that they had not a single prisoner of war. That wen • grave fact, because theinferencetrom it was that no quarte; was alien. (Hear.) [An hon. member: t` The King of Deihl."] The King of Delhi was • state prisoner, and not a prisoner of war. In the letterof offloers received from India it was broadly stated that no quarter was given ; and the officers seemed to glory in it. Now, this arose from no cruelty, because the English army were breve men, and cruelty was not natural to brave men of eny nation. (Hear.) It arose from a feeling of disgust in the army at the atrocities committed upon women and children by the Sepoys, which feeling was incrceeed by the reaction of the public usdignatka of this country in India. It was therefore desirable that an expremion of their opinion should now go forth to India that the time for mercy had arrivel—(hear)—that sufficient blood had been shed, and that justice should be tempered with mercy. (Hear.) It would not only be uns.ldierly end unchristian, but imflt i i e that this proceeding of giving no quarter should be any further. It would cause too severe a drain on the mili tary and pecuniary resources of this country to maintain an exclusively British army in Indio. It was therefore politic to leave a door open for reconciliation with India. (Hear.) He did not say, as Mr. Colvin's proclamation did, that the time for proclaiming an amnesty was come; but he thought that it should be granted when the proper time arrived. Mr. RICH replied, and reminded the hon. member for Boston that he bore u strong testimony as tho hon. gentle man himself did to the absence of ferocity on the part of the British officers, and he could do so with a warmer heart then the hon. gentleman, because he had the honour of serving in that army. tHear.) He thanked the hon. gentleman the Secretary to the Board of Control for the humane declaratim that due diecriminetion would be used in awarding punish ment, and trusted that the humane instructions issued by Lord Canning to the drillau would more or less extend to the military authorities. He would not press his motion to a division, and would be contented with the production of the paper which the hon. gentlemen had no objection to give. The motion was then withdrawn. GALWAY FREEMBN. Mr. G. CLI VE, in moving for leave to bring in a bill for the disfranchisement of the freemen of the city of Galway, said that during the investigation over which he presided the witnesses folly and fairly admitted the corrupt practices which prevailed in the boron h. They did not deny or make apology for those practices, but looked upon the money given to them as merely a proper remuneration for lost time. The charter, which woe given to Galway by Charles 11., conferred the rights of freemen on the trades and (Mermen residents of Galway on the payment of 20e. At that time 20e. wee more than it was in these days. The act of George 1. called the Galway Act, took away the condition of the payment of 20.., but required that the freemen should be Protestants. The Irish Rdorm Act, however, did away with this, and the consequence was that almost every person who had a residence in Galway could claim the franchise. There were 1,080 electors in Galway, of whom about one half were freemen. Of the remaining half 60 or 70 were freeholders or leaseholders, and 4.50 were 81. occupiers. It followed, therefore, that if the freemen were corrupt the constituency fell entirely into their power. The commissioner. did not carry back their inquiries before 1317, there having been no contest in that year, bat they stated that there was ample reason for believ ing that bribery had prevailed extensively prior to that year. In 1852 and 1857 there were contests, in both of which there was great competition; in fact at those elections 250—0 r ' nearly half the entirebody—of the freemen were proved before the commissioners to have been bribed. Formerly the duty of deciding who should be on the freemen's roll rested with the mayor, but It now devolved upon a person appointed for the purpose by the Lord-Lieutenant. That person at the present time was a very respectable man, but be was not armed with any of the requisite powers to enable him to institute an efficient inquiry ; end the result might be easily imagined. The freemen were chiefly persons of a very hum ble rank of life; and the commissioners reported that for some time previous to an election industrial employments in the neighbourhood nearly all ceased. In 1862 there were three candidates—Lord Dunkelliii, Mr. Martin Blake, and Mr. O'Flaherty. Two thousand pounds were spent by Lord Dunkellin's supporter', and 1,2001. by those of Mr. Martin Blake, without, there was reason to think, the knowledge or approval of the candidata themselves. In 1857 a gentleman came forward, but the de mends that were made upon him were such that he said "the Bank of Ireland itself could not stand Galway," and retired. The amount impended at this election was also very consider able. He (Mr. Clive) had nothing farther to add, except on the score of precedent ; but if in the case of Great Yarmouth the freemen had been disfranchised because bribery had been proved against fourteen of them before an election com mittee (for there was no oommimion), be thought he had made out ample grounds for the bill which he now moved ter leave to bring in. (Cheers.) Sir T. BURKE thought it right to second the motion, because at an earlier part of the evening en extraordinary , petition bad been presented by the hon. member for Sheffield, mwhich an attack was made upon a noble lord in another place, for which he (the hon. baronet) could assure the how there was no ground whatever. Ilia (the hon. baronet's) noble friend ((Lord Dunkellin) wan then In Calcutta, and his father (the Marquis of Cleariar6e) wrote to him (Sir T. Burke) making hint to canvass the town, and see if there was any chance for hiseion ? He did so • end he did not receive the promise o; two respectable tradesmen for Lord Dun kellin. He wrote and told Lord Claericarde how the case stood, end he bad had no further intercourse with the noble maratie, who wrote back to his steward, sad said: " What ever money Sir Thomas Burke s pends la Galway, you will me repaid to him." (Hoare of Laughter .) He (Sir Thomas Bake) was neither ashamed nor 'bald of anything he had done. It wee, in face, ens of the most extraordinary cease ever brought forward of purity of election. (Renewed , laughter.) It Wag %kg vat a mow; hi spend thg hod caused the opposition. (Laughter.) What was done he would briefly narrate. He had canvassed for Lord Dun kellin. Mr. O'Flaherty was also there, and so were Mr. Blake, a lawyer, and Colonel French. Colonel French was the first person to retire ; and on the Friday before the nomi nation Mr. Blake followed. The field was thus left open, and there was not a single shilling forthcoming to spend. That caused a great s ti r i n t h e town of ClalwttY. (Laughterj They were determi ne d t o get a candidate. 'They telegraph to London, and Colonel French strived on the Sunday even ing, to hie (Sir T. Burke's) utter astonishment. (Great laughter.) They bad no conception that Colonel French would come to the poet. (Renewed laughter.) A list of the freemen was brought to us annulmmuly, showing 321 for Colonel French, 310 fur Lord Dunkellin, and 184 for Mr. I;) • Flaherty. The freemen asked him (Sir Thomas) what he 'would give. " Nothing," was his reply. (Laughter.) He 'did not deny that he had pledged lumself _tiot to interfere with the other candidates. EM whole and sole anxiety was for his noble relative, end he ,did not care for the others. (Loud laughter.) He was determined that the noble lord should be at the- head of the poll. What was he to do? (Laughter.) He sent over to Mr. O'Flalterty's committee and said—. If you poll me a hundred votes before ten there ia 2501. for you." (Loud laughter.) Hon. gentlemen would remember what a hard case it was. (Lau hter.) Bat was there any petition against Lord ? The commianion, it was tins, was belied, and he (Sir T. Burke) was summoned to Galway to give evidence before three learned gentlemen, and a mere =- hour he never spent in his life. (Roars of laughter.) re a ltred fur the sake of the poor freemen themselves, who, he did not think got 2s. in the pound of the monev—(re sewed merriment)—he hoped even for their sakes that the house would allow the bill to be brought in. Lord LOVAINE, as one of the Galway election committee, and as the member who had moved for the commission, cor dially supported the motion. Colonel FRENCH objected to the measure, on the ground that the 16 and 16 Vic, held out a promise of immunity to those witnesses who made a full disclosure before election oommitteep. Most of the freemen who had been bribed had been examined, and if therefore, they passed the bill, they would break faith with them. The whole subject of the franchise would be dealt with no:tees/don, and there wee thus no necessity for hasty legislation. Mr. MAGUIRE said he had no personal political interest in this bill, but he thought theyonght to punish the corruptor as well as the corrupted. He believed that the rich man who gave the bribe was as guilty before God and mai as the wretched individual who received it. (Hear, hoer.) The bill was unfair and unjust. It was a one.sided bill. It was not difficult to account for the anxiety to get rid of the free men. An hon. gentleman was known te ave bad his eye on tho borough for some time, and if this bill passed the Whig party might have another vote to support some in-coming minister. If the house agreed with him that the party who gave the bribe was equally guilty se the receiver ' he would ask the virtuous chairman o f this inexorable committee what he had to say to the conduct of Dr. Brown, the Pro tester at the Queen's College, who for the basest motives bad made himself the conduit pipe of corruption—(lattighter)— and did the dirty work of his party, although from his posi tion he was bound to give the example of neutrality ? No money was paid without his stamp. The agent gave the ticket; the voter then went to a certain place, and put his hand through a hole in the wall ; but whether the money was 2e. or 61. it was not paid unless the ticket bore the stamp of Dr. Brown. Motives of delicacy would prevent him from re ferring to the seconder of the motion. The hon. baronet might have left the Lai to some other person. He represented him self as the friend of the freemen . if he was, they might well say, save us from our friends. The freemen and the in habitants by their petition asked for equal justice. It appeared from the report that two magistrates, Mr. Hirst and Mr. O'Flabetty, and also Mr. Carter and Dr. Brown, had been guilty of bribery. Were these men to get off soot-free, and the poor ignorant voters alone to suffer ? There were 600 freemen in the city: of these 128 were new men, who had no share in the transaction. In point of fact only 180 were guilty ; the rest were perfectly innocent. The freemen in Ireland were looked on with a distaste (which he shared) by a certain party, because their poverty laid them open to oorruption ; but they were now promised a Reform Bill let them wait for that. They need not be in such a desperat e hurry to show their virtue. Even if they were, let it not be one-sided virtue, tolerant to broad cloth but Inexorable to rags.
