This being notified to me. a negotiation took place with them, and an arningemeut was entered into by which the Government undertook that the new Reform Bin should be laid on the table of the House On its meeting at the begin ning of this year. but should not be proceeded with until the next session. This arrangement was considered satisfitetory, and the discontent was dissipated. CHIEF COMMISSIONRR : Was the arrangement ever carried into effect? Nlr. HATTER : It was not. CiitEr COMMISSIONER : Has the discontent revived? Mr. HATTER : Not particularly ; the Liberal party has become more rational in the interval. CHIEF Commission:a : Somewhat tamer? Mr. HATTER : Yes : I believe now they are as tame as you ever reeol lect them. CHIEF Commissiost:n : Are you aware of any negotiations with respect to the formation of at Government which, after the late general election, were entered into between the leaders of the Whig party and the Manchester school? Mr. HATTER : I cannot say I /1111 altogether unaware that certain communications took place of that character, but they were not conducted by Inc. CHIEF CommissioNEn : By whom were they conducted? Mr. HATTER : They were conducted by a very eminent hand. • ( 'HIRE COMMISSIONER : We must trouble you to be explicit. Mr. HAYTER: I believe they were conducted by the Right Hon. Edward Ellice. CHIEF COMMISSIONER: He must be summoned. Who entered into communication with Sir William Molesworth? Mr. lisytEn : If the Commissioners would permit me to ask for a glass of water CHIEF COMMISSIONER: Aud with Captain Bernal Osborne? LHere Mr. HAYTEIL umlauting that the gallant officer was himself present, fell into an easy swoon, and was caned out in the arms of Mr. GRENVILLE BERKELEY. The Chief Commissioner insisted that Captain BERNAL OSBORNE should at once take the chair of the witness, and, after being sworn. his examination commenced.] CHIEF COMMISSIONER : What is your name? Captain BERNAL Osnot:st: : Pudding and Tame: if you ask we again, I will tell you the saute. ( Load cheers and lanyhter frows the spectators.) CHIEF COMMISSIONER (ill a statt., of consternation): Do you know who we are, sir? Captain BERNAL Osnoust: : I should think I did. You are Mr. Chiselem Pigsty. (Loud laughter.) You get five guineas a day for inquiring how I get about the mune sum, only I hope mine will last rather longer than yours. (Cheers and laughter.) You were not paid so well for your impeachment of Lord Palmerston, except, to be sure, lw paid you off. (A laugh.) You want a large measure of parliamentary reform? Well, we have given you one. There can't be a larger measure of parliamentary reform than that which hats changed me from a brawling demagogue into at silent secretory. (hanyhter.) You will excuse Inc. Mr. Pigsty, but I am a straightforward man. You have heard of nosey tellurian. I know myself, and I know you. (Great laughter.) I also know the gentleman on your right. How d'ye do, Sir Benjamin? How is the Mephistophiles of Marvbone ? (Great cheering and laughter.) 1 wish, for your own sale, you were more like Punch, because then you would have a hump on your back, and would be called My lord. 1 Mares or laughter.) Do you ever read history, Sir Benjamin ? Do you remember the words of Oliver Cromwell when he turned out the Rump ? I shan't quote all of them, because I might offend the modesty of Sir Robert Inglis. But when Oliver Cromwell came to Sir Harry Vane he said, "The Lord preserve me from Sir Harry Vane ;" and I say—the Lord preserve me from Sir Benjamin Hall. ((Groat ckeerisy.) Sir Robert, your servant I have a great respect for you—(6th mndt earnestness)—l have, indeed. I often fight your battles behind your back—sty, that 1 do: and when I hear you called a humbug—(and generally, let The tell you, by your most intimate friends)—l speak my mind, and say that, if you be a humbug. you have always been eon aistent—(ekeers mid laughter) :—that you were a humbug in the beginning, are a humbug now, anal always will be a humbug. (Groat Wetter.) 1 admire consisteney, sir—l appreciate it. (Cheers.) What induced von to inquire into the conduct of her Majesty's Ministers?' I should have thought you had had inquiry enough into the debts of the Nabob of Arcot. You know something about that, I believe ? (Great cheering.) Take my advice,—l speak as a friend ; you don't look very well—the influenza or the hay fever, I suspect. You go home, say your prayers, and put your feet in hot water. The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman here, amid tumultuous cheering, applying his dexter thumb to his nose, bowed to the three Commis sioners, who leant back in their choirs apparently speechless with astonishment, while the Right Hon. EDWARD ELLICE, ueltuucing from the background, and benignantly smiling. murmured, "Well done, Osborne ! I always told John Russell how his Commission would end." DOWN.
