Tlirre sere three wherein the legitimate electors were in capacitated from voting or receiving a warrant In rote on account of bribery owl corruption, awl three from bribery aloue ; some Councils lost thr:e capacity to elect by being concerned is. the Itel•. I lion of 1713. On that occasion the then boil Advocate, the Solicitor-General, and the bad JII4. tice Clerk, being consulted by the Privy Council, gore their °pianos that it was the duty of the limg to jam, warrants of election to all pre-existing LOsielh not disqualified by haring taker, a rot iii eU Rebellion; but where such disability did e xist, it WAS necessary to base recourse to a popular t %Unit There, lastly, was .me example of a warrant for s poll election. occasioned by a double election, there 'unit's/been two parties in the burgh. 'hie Hon. Gentleman then cited the a udit:lilies of rer uns writers to support 11:s view of the question. He trusted lie had made out the principle, that where the King was c died upon to issue a warrant, when nothing had occurred which would legally in. capacitate the electors, it was his duty to eillurce the Art 01 . 1469, the norepraled law of the laud, and a ppoint the old common council to elect ; but that, on the contrary, where the voters had been guilty of on act which entirely disqualified them, Il e oar bound to do what the law authorities and the Court of Session had advised in 1715 and 1746. The King had no discretion in the case, but sous hound by establi,lied rules of law. With respect toes control over the ex peoditure of burghs. on which so much had been slid, he thought that the mea sure lie had proposed last Ses-ion would have been of use, and be better than sioiliing, as it at least give the burghs the right of briuging their cases before the Court of Session. On withdrawing it lie hid said hr should gladly and cordial l y adopt any ex prdiesits proposed for rentlerisig It Inure effectual, and he had deferred giving moire of bringing in a new Bill till the ttttt non of the Noble Lord should hare been disposed of, und the duratiosi fully die. cussed; hut lie now took the o pportunity to give notice that he should m :ve for leave to britig in re Dill pis the subject to-morrow. The giver. mesa rerpecsiug the virile) of the dilapidation of the bungles was must tlwarrUntable. That event took. place more than u century ago, at The time Charles 11. gave grants to the. Duke of Lauderdale, who levied fines in Elinhurgli and .fiber plagues. As to the grant or the warrant to Alinitrose and riot to Aberdeen, all he should my was, that in the former it became necessary, not in the latter. Ile concluded by stating that had he nut acted as he had done upon this occasion, he would have deserved the ridicule of thaw who wished well to the iot.rests et the country.— Hear, liter.) Mr. Hums said, that the Noble and Learned lord who had just eat down had not contradicted or contioverted one of the facts er arguments laid direst by the Noble Lord who made the pre sent motion.--(Hear.)—The Learned Lord aye, that if this application be conceded. it will lay the ground of Parliamentary esamivation. lie (Mr. Hume) hoped it would; and it was fur that MIMI lie gave the motion hip cordial support.—/ Hear.) —What war the state of frainchiee at Aberdeen. sod thy stature of the debts which placed that town in a state of bankruptcy ? The debts due by the town unwonted to upwards of 230,0001.-166,0001. for sit improvement in a new Direct, and 6.1.0001. for an tinproveineut in the harbour. An estimate was made by Mr. Abercrombie, in the year IGO% re specting the prajected street, ad that Gentleman was of opitriuti that the purchases of property to 'clew the avenue wools' ismartut to 30•0001. Au Act of Parbetnent was obtained to commence the work, and by it the trusters had only power to borrow at the outset 110,000/. ; instead of that it seemed they had borrowed in silence and conceal meld 190,0001. So quietly was this amount her. rowed, that not a trace of the items was to be found in the Treasurer's books during the last seicuteen years. He held a letter in his band hoot • Member of the Council in 1811, who. sus. Pecling all was not going on right, refused to be sobservient, and Was consequently not re-elected. This Gentleman stated, that during the meetings of the Cistrocil, which he bad attended, not a ward bred ever bees. stated on the subject of borrowing motley. though he anbsequeutly found in the ini tiates of the Council, that his name was put ` l "isor outtrog other.. ,as assenting to au arrange ment fur borrowing the sum of 10.000L—(ilesr.) The Magistrate* in question were good private homeless. but it was the system. which made their acts odious, and rendered it impOssible fur their private inclination* to have fair play in their pub• lie procerdiugs.--/Heer, hear.) —What formed an add' ban/slap in viewissg this 'insists's* was, Ault 51 or she creditors of the woo were persons who had the management of some of the public charities. tire pensioners of which were of coons sleprired of their utensil of subsistence at the claw of their lives.

The LORD ADIrocATE, in explenatinn, utterly denied there was any foundation fur the assertion that lie had promoted the Petition alluded to. From whatsoever granter it came, it was false and uisfoundeol. The Hun. Member had been very erroneously informed in this subject. Mr. !lulus was proceeding to comment on the harsh terms used in the Learned Lord's explana tion, when the SPEAKER interposed, and he sat down. Mr. JAMES FEROUsoN bore the highest testimony to the character and honour of the Magistrates at Aberdeen. Mr. C. FORBES begged leave to state a few facts in contradiction to the statement of the Noble Cord who made this metros,. The Hon. Gentle man then entered "ow a detail of the local expen diture at A herder's, and denied that the town could, with truth, be said to be iu u state of bank ruptcy, for they bud arises to the full amount of their debt., and dues comoetent to pay the iiiterest, until the principal could be redeemed.-e -los refutation of the charges urged against the Magistracy of Aberdeen, he felt it sufficient to slate, that the commerce of the town had very con siderably increased. In the year 1010 the tonnage of the port was only 16,000 tons, while it now amounted to 40,000 tons.—(Hear.)—Witli regard to the debts of the town, he alleged that the credi tom now received four per cent. for their money, and would shortly receive five, but, in the mean time, not a single charitable institution lost a shil ling, ssor 'hostel the creditors eventhally lose one farthing of their just deists.— ( Hear.)—He !o utmoded that charges should be brought against public bodies, Or individuuls, without sufficient grounds; mud, after paying a compliment to the integrity and 'idiom of the present Magistrates of Altertleen, lie expended a determination of placing Ia i aaa self in opposition In accusations of such a na ture. He hoped the Noble Lord opposite would inure fur the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of those Illogirtristes, mud the general gores iiment of the hurgh.—(Cries V "Question ! question !" ) Sir GINDROE hoped the explanations gives by the Hun. Member who just sat dowse would hare the effect of relieving the much-injured Ma giMratee Irons the gross misrepresentations which bed been affixed to their character. lie'remarked, that the question of Parliamentary Reform laid been most injudiciously and improperly involved its the subject now before the Hourf . ; but the pre per question was mine relating solely to the burgh government of Scotland, which must necessarily be determined by reference to lege! decisions. On this point the Learned Lord Advocate had ex hausted the enbject, lie, therefore, should be guilty of great presumption. were he to occupy use attention of the House in the same hue of argument. Had, however, Honourable Members read the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons nu this subject, it wriald be found that the tight of election had never been vested in the burgesses, and that the Council had always, pre vious .0 the Uisiou, been appointed for life. He then took a review of the cases decided on this pima, and attempted to prove, by reference to these, that the motion)) practice and principle had been as he had stated them. NVitli reference either to the decisions of law. to the constant praCtice, or to the discretional!' exercise of the prerogative of the ( row'', the Noble Lord had laid down no ease to justify the House in acceding to his motion.— (Question, question !) Sat JoIIN NlastwELt. couteteled shortly that the warrant issued ill the case of the burgh of Aber deen was integral. Ile trusted that Geritlenseir on the opposite side of the House would not give their votes iii such a way, mid to induce a belief that they were reso;ved to legislate in support of the private leierests of a Junto, in opposition to those of a set of people whom lie might especially deeig unite us the most religious, moral, peaceable, best silocaord, and, he might add, the most loyal in the Ereopire.—(llear, hear.) —The object sought for by these 'movie was nut a gild reform. but the establishment of such a form of government as was dune capuble of preserving the prosperity of the burgh from being wantonly dissipated.—(llear, hear.) Mr. Wir.ocarooca hoped. in a mater of such deep interest. the House would not think of stifling the subject, but would suffer investogation to pro ceed to the utmost hunts. A statertirot had been wade. of which he saw too mason to doubt the oil theimeity, that the system hitherto pursued was cal culated to destroy the best interests of the great city of Aberdeen, that the practice of electing Ma gistrates was unsupported by any legal uuthority, and that the general system was fraught with dan gers to the property of the bough. These truants had rout beets denied, and they undoubtedly were of a natuie that 'periled inquiry.—(llror, hear„)-.. I lud such practices taken piece in Earglarid, as were shown to have happened in the Scottish burgh, %bat would the House think of it ?—( ifear.)— Os ' such a subject the Eroglibli 11embers were, per. loo.pro, better calculated to decide thorn those Itllllle dlately concerned ; they eliould, therefore, bring lull, the coloarleration of the subject their cool joid i nent, mod protect the people of Scodatid front g one- abalie.—(llear.) Mr FIN isAy, iu storing term., comletnned tire esorrpag system, and remarked, that although tire Lord Advocate of Scotland had attempted to slew . 0 1111,ts that it was supported by the practice since 1469, he IA not ventured to say it was a Kepi, system.-- (//cur, hear.) Lord Casat.tattacH bad no intention of offering hinivelf to the notice of the fluthe on alio subject, bring pet fectly sittisticif to rest the question till the ably !..Ilf.f!CII (Jl . his Learued Friend the Lord Ail vor•ate- —/ Loud tiughier /loin the Opposition Benrhes)—hut he could mil avoid remarking mi the nit:one, t ili,.de of urgutneht used by the sorter side of the House. Gentlemen founded their arguments oil a supposed criminalsty in the Magistiati-s, whereas in fuel no oilier Crillle WAS emiiiiiitird by them titan that of borrowing trolley --(Bear, hear) —money which was in fact .imlicd to the improve ment of the town, and now because the application of that money did not tutu out ;is profitable as they bad anticipated, they were to he cli.d . ged wills mak vetsation. The (July legul 41efasilt they had commit ted was the failure of an election 111 Colll4tlillellee of the absence of a proxy for a single Magistrate. The Noble Lord opposite (Lord A. hi•inoltoo) Isiol dis claimed every idea of Pal liametituly Reform, but it would argue great credulity iii the House were they to imagine that the preseia motion was any thing else than a motion for Parliamentary Reform, limier the mark of a reformation in the Scottish burgh.. He argued, however, by referring to the Act of Union, that IA reform to the represen tation of Scotland could not be entertained by Parliament collectiv ly ; and that it would be c e absurd in the extrem • to suppose Parliament could enter on the question riutio, which it could nut undertake altogether. The question was one of law altogether, but the Noble Lord avoided the law rod in/wilco., and confined himself to censur ing the exercise of the prerogative of the Crnu tr.— After some further remarks, the Noble Lord con cluded by saying he should object to the motron. • Mr. M'ILBERFoucE said a few worth , in expla nation, and reworked 'lint such itClll hell hero sltewo to have taken place in the burgh of A lier deen, which would not lie Attuned in en English corporation.—(Cries of " Spoke, spoke !" and Question, question !"J Lord A. HAMILTON, iu reply, said, that the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) had no right to impute to him the intention of concealing the object of Parliamentnry Reform under the guise of the pre sent question. He kid carefully excluded it from his mind, and did not choose to be represented us a hypocrite, seeking one thing under the veil of auother. He then entered into a review of the arguments used on the opposite side, and re capitulated those lie had previously urged, remark ing, that the assertions he had wade were not answered, and that his arguments remained un shaken. An Hon. Member (Mr. Forbes) stated that the Charitable Institution). had rustamed no injury, for that they were receiving four per cent. fur their money. Why should they not? Hut it was evident that if they had now the power of ilia posing of their property they might obtain five, so that they sustained a certain loss. He hoped Parliament would not condemn the Scotch burghs to their prevent ruinous system, but would give them souse chimer, under lagistrates of a different character, of ricovering their origi n al prosperity.

The phut was acesedingly " lsanded up to his Lord.. ship. The SoLlcietta•Geiteitei. in continuation. said, that Lord George Cavendish had made a number ' of improvements to Burliugtots House. and p.sts eslarly he had erected a member of shop..

The Western Exchange was to WV west of the Arcade, and was well ithowts to be place of fishionuble resort. Mr. Weir; us the sur veyor and agent of Lord Gatrge Cavendish. was employed hy his Lordship to let the shops, and .A cortlingly he sent a printed circular letter to the Plaintiffs, asking them to become tenants. Lord George Cavendish, thinking it was unly au act of justice to give them the first sifter, as they resided in Bond-street, and he by building the Arcade had darkened the backs of their houses, and also he al. lowed them to make a door freiu their houses into their shops in the Arcade; but this was all indul. genet not allowed to any tither of the tenants.

It was also ag r at d th a t theta should be bat two public entrais.es, one at the north and the other at the south end ; the pest for • single situp was to be 34!. per minim, .t 61. a year for repairing, watching, lighting, &c. the Arcade; the double shops were to he doulde mute ; a lease fur fourteen years to he granted for a single shop on the tricot of a liar t.t . 150/. and for a double shop on the payment of OCR. : on those conditions the Plaiotiffs be came tenants.
