Mr. J. E. LITTIATUN thought Itlinisters ought to come forward at once, and declare that they would not Countenance ratty new duty. (Hear !) Mr. Ilxarirrt was also against the agitation of any 11111C11 duty. Mr. CLLCRAFT was favourable to an egoalissiion of the duties on Coals.

WRIGHT, as Chair's:ail of the CriWU;iltee appointed to try the merits of the Peurliya Election Petition, appear. ed et the Bur, and read their Report. It stated that both the Sitting Members had been unduly relit' tied and farther, that Henry Swam, owe of those Members, hid been guilty at bribery; and was thereby inceletritaird to Mt in the pre sent Parliament. Besides this Resolution, the Report added, that John Woodritle, and two ethers, engaged In the electiou, bad been guilty of corrupt practices; and that Henry Carter, and about ten where, had been guilty of taking bribes. Mr. A. WRIOBT then inured, that a new writ he issued for Pearhyn hi the roow of H. Swann, not doily elected. Sir C.

Those who were fdVOUI:IbIe to 111Wil opinionlconstituting al specific part of the Report, /to vi ewer., were lett iu a mino rity ; out, notwithstanding such de cision, he thought the House could nut adopt a stronger, wiser, or better course, than to avail themselves of such cases as often us they ticcorreil, either w abolish! the elective privileges in the particular instances m le transfer the right of sending Representatives to Parliament to oilier and more populous pieces.—(Hear, hese.) No coarse of proceedlii,g would, in his opinion, be better calculated to silence the complaints made out of duets respecting the Constitution of that House; no better way could be devised to reform and purify that Howie by sate and gradual means; and it was a course that be should like to see adopted ; tor lie was not ashamed to avow, that he was a moderate Reformer.—(Cheers.) 11 here Electors basely and shamefully sold their birthright, as was proved to have been so glaringly done ha tke present case : where they acted in a man. tier that was calculated to reduce them below the stated the most slavish condition on the Cuatinent ; the Boroughs ought to lie distrateckised, and the rights conveyed to more populous places, and places which returned Members, such as Man chester.

Lord CASTEREA6II obsei yeti, that the course to be adopted oti the present oreasio:i was the civet difficulty. It the Repoli, were to be deemed special, it was clear; hut he should tile to lent n from the Chair what rouise had bee. adopted on turner occasions under 'tar ciicuuistahees. (Hear.) The SrEAK ER replied, that it WAS AM customary to delay the issuing of a ‘t rim, except on a Special Report 1 hot he apprehended that the Report in the present case mast be viewed as special. It' that import were given to the Report, the course to he pursued was deal; it was, however, to be determined, whether the cortupt practices applied to indi votliials or to the Borough at large. It was not adviseable to delay the is • g of the Writ, except the Report was dee Ott' Special, because it was desirable that the number Ct . Km prearuutives should be finished ; but iu this oil-hand answer he could not pretend lulty to inform the House on the suite-et. . . Lordtaart.Eueauu moved that the Debate be adjourned to Mouday. Mr. 'WYNN observed, that there were several similar in. stances, Winton, Aylesbury, Sc.; but in those cases the House proceeded, in consequence of a motion flout the Chair man of tee Cuutlnittec, tatinded ou the :corrupt pi actices of the Borough. lie admitted that the suggested mode of II moment of assets eases, when they occurred, was the most u-eful and most ellicieut course of Reform that could be adopt ed; read he trusted it would be pursued whesever au instance wars:misting it came helm e the Hear, hear.)

This Esunimaux has occupied a considerable share of the public attention, and his loam will be generally felt, lle had al ready rendered important servirts to the country in the late Expedi tion of Ihscovery, and great expectations were naturally formed of the utility which he would prove on the expediter/. about to sail for Raflin's Nay. 'l•he Admiralty, with gr:st liberality and judgment, bad directed the greatest pains to be taken in his further education, and he had been several months in Edinourgh with this view, when he was seized with a violent inflammation in the chest, which carried him off in a few days. He was extremely docile , and though rather slow in the attainment of knowledge, he was Industrials, zealous, and cheerful, and always grateful for the kindneas and attention shown to hint. His amiable disposition and simple manners had in terested those wino had opportunities of know•irg him personally, in a way that will not be forgotten.
