proved either of the suspension or repeal of the colonel 11,toweta„ Mr. CRoiER, and Mr. FITZ GERAiD opposed the Amendment. The House then divided on the Amendment-- Against it 52 For it 7 Majority MR. PALMER'S CLAIMS. On the motion for bringing up the Report, Mr. S. WORI'LE.Y said, he had no doubt that Mi.. Palmer's invention was of great service to the coemiry, for which reason he thought that he might be allowed two-thirds of the sum claimed, not as matter of right, but matter of gratuity.— For.the purpose, therefore, of some amendments, Ire would move that the Bill he recommitted. Colonel PALMER observed, that the arrange ment proposed by the Honourable Member • had not been sanctioned by the 'Administration, he bad therefore no alternative but to press the Bill forward as it stood.--That he had constantly en deavoured,' as fur as his duty to Mr. Palmer per mitted, to prevent a further appeal to Parliament in - this case ; and that he most sincerely lamented that the offer made by him to Government after the last Session, to refer the whole affair to arbi t .ation had been tejected ; he hoped, 'ltherefore, that the friends to the Bill would pardon the trouble Which he had been- thus compelled to give them, and that they would not cc:mica to the re conunitment of the Sir CHARLES BURRELL suppm ted the motion. Mr. PETER MOORE spoke in favour of the claims of Mr. Palmer. _ _ _ Mr. HOIWZR thought, as the claims of Mr.Pal suer did not come before the House , with the re commendation of the Crown, they could not he entertained, The SPEAKER said, that that question did not arise at present. After a few remarks from Mr. Lung, Mr. Drowne, Sir William Dundas, Mr. Home Sumner, Mr. Palmer, and Mr. Gouldburn, the House di vided— Against the Amendment 77 Far it ... 44 Majority 7-33 On the question that the Bill be read a third time to-►aorro►r, being put ; Mr. BANsts proposed that .the. third reading should be post poled until Thnrsd►y. Upon this the Gallery. was clew►ted, but the House divide. — The Bill was ordei'ed to be read a third time to morrow. lIELSTON ELECTION. • Upon the speetial r4ort being.read, SwAg rose..for,the purpose of moving, that the. House do agree with the resolution of the C;oinn►ittee by which the HeMon election had been trio!. The Honourable Member went into a long history of the abuses that prevailed for some time. iii that borough. It had been lately at the disposal' of five Aldernien,lhree of whom were of the same family. The. Duke ar Leeds, he said, held the patronage upon the condition of pays log the parish dues, which amounted-to 17001. per annum, it was for the House to say, whether they would permit such abuses as existed in 'that place to continue there. He spoke with much se verity of, some of The Clergy, who, be said, throughout Cordwall were the principal avuts in such infamous transactions. A greater tradic for seats in Parliament for thiS place had been carried on than for any borough in Cornwall. The only borough in Cornwall that had even the semblance of independence be took to he that which he Te r presented.--qLou4 laughter.). He expected they would laugh at this.; he had said it on purpose. It ' was, however, true. That which he represented hacl been differently situated formerly. It had 100 voters, who received twenty-four guineas each from the patrons of the borough. Now the num ber of voters had been increased to four hundred. The adherents of the patron had su managed things. for his interest at the last dissolution of Parliament that a rate was made out on Friday or Saturday, yet he (Mr. Swan) had been unable to obtain it before twelve o'clock on Monday night, so that it was not till Tuesday that he knew among whom he'was to canvass. A distinction was made in speaking of the Charter and the Borough ; but those who had onehad both. This he illustrated by recounting an anecdote of Sir Robert Walpole, who had said, on giving a charter to the borough, of Lestwithiel, to the party who obtained it,— " There is the charter, now if you lose the bo rough you ought to be The Honourable Gentleman proceeded to contend, that the parties concerned in tbe Holston election ought to be pu nished, if the - House passed . ever their c Induct, how could it justify chic course pursued with re spect to Grogan, who was now in chai»s in New gate for attempting to traflic,in boroughs, though he had not, effected any thing ? Here was a direct contract for seats; anti how could they excuse themselves if they did not visit this offence with severity ?. lie then read to. the. House the form of the ti , reernents entered into between the pa trons ar>d the yoters of some of the boroughs in Cornwall, deseribetl more at large the means .by which semi were somethOs obtained, and eon- chideil by moving, ''That the Attorney-General do forthwith prosecute George Frederick Duke of I.4k.etk for the , iaid offence." (The offence set forth in the report.) further, stated, that it was his intention to follow this motion up, if it were car, lied, by another, the object of which, •we uncler. tatui, was to bring to justice the 4ather parties concerned. Mr. D. GIDDY said, had he been an this Com niittee he should entirely have concurred in the Report, satisfied as he was, 'that the connection which had existed between the Duke of Leeds and the borough of Helston wa s contrary to law, and contrary to the privileges of that House. Believ ing, at he did, the law to have been broken, still, before he agreed to . the !notion, it was proper for I! , int, to . consider the motives of the persons accused. k i:o hw the circuoistances of the case, and a view of the•situatimi in which they had been placed , and-in which they had found things, be did not think their iiitcutious beewbad, but that their conduct %11'Wit I ' l'olll a reluctance to Offend the peo ple by alteriog that system which had been long established, and to which they were attach e d.—. He did not urge thi3 u a justification of their con titics,t, but merely to show that it was Uut without lie thought a qui tem actio n might Home excuse. be brought against the parties, but , be Saw no reit, son why the House should gb Out of its way to punish this offence. The elective franchise he statetito have been extended to 80 freemen, who had-the right of voting before, and who were not selected in any way which could give them a par ticular bilis. He objected to prosecuting the indi viduals concerned. in the late election, but Wished the practices imputed to them to be discouraged. He hoped, therefore, the House would not accede to the present ►notion, but he had no objection to the borough being thrown open. To do this would, in his opinion, be better than to prosecute the in dividuals accused ;. and he would therefore move, if the present motion were negatived, " that early in the next Ses don of Parliament, the House should take into consideration the situation of time Borough of Helston." "Mr: W. WYNiNTP. stated, a great part of what he had intended to say, lila been rendered unneces sary by the resolution of the House, (which, had been come to without a word of discussion) that the connection which had subsisted :between the Duke of Leeds and the borough of He!sun) was illegal, and a breach of the standing order of the House. lf, as the • last speaker thought, there were circumstances to be urged in palliation, he thought it would have been better to have moved" them as - an amendment on. the resolution before the House, than to put a negative on it altogether. In such cases, if an excuse were once admitted, there would be always excuses in the way of jiis tiee. When a similar charge was proved against Oxtortl, it was voted a high breach of theprivi leges of Parliament, on the Mayor, Aldermen, and. Bailiffs, in all ten persons, most of them of great respectabrity, were :sent to Newgate, sod afterwards reprimanded. It was clear from the evidence, that the Aldermen knew they were act ing contrary to law. lie denied that that House; would be departing front its ordinary course, in proceeding to punish those implicated in this bo siness. He called upon the Gentleman opposite (Mr. D. Giddy) to show him an instance of their passing over such conduct on their joitrnals. If they were not to "punish it, it would •appear that that. might be clone with impuhity , by a Member of either Hottse of Parliament, Which they visited with severity on others. H e s hould vote f or t h e motion. 'm:yinYr:l; wished punishment to (all on the borough, but not on the individuids accused, who did not appear to he actuated by bad motives. fie would wish the borough to he thrown open to the freeholders Of the hundred, but should vot e Against the motion for prosecuting the' individuals concerned in the late election.. Mr. Bantso, though bethought there was less of criminality in this case than in many others of a similar nature which bad been brought before the House, could not see, how,• - after the report of the Contu►ittee, they could pass Over the indivi duals ccn►cerned. For the borough, he hoped, at an early day a Bill would be brought in to throw it open to the surrounding hundreds. He, had urderstood that the inhabitants of those hundreds were as ,likely to send .a pure, honourable, and dependent Representative to Parliament as the voters of tiny other ptirt of the country. But for his having received this hiformation, he should not have proposed toy throw it open to the sUrrounding hundreds, but he should have moved an .amend ment to the Bill, to give it, to some other hundred or populous district. Though in the present in stance be thought it desirable to throw the bo rough open to the surrounding hundred 4, he was by no means of opinion 'that. this would he proper ii revery similar case, and now wished to give no tice, that it was his intention, when next n Cor nish borough fell under the censure of the House, to move, that its franchise be presented to some of the populous, but unrepresented districts of Yorkshire. - - - Mr. TREMAYNR. explained. Mr. BA.NKES Objected to the motion for a prose seention; as, flit should fail, they would stand in a worse situation than at present, and he thought it had little or no chance of success. Whatever, might be their Opinion of the criminality of 'this case (and he did not mean to palliate it) lie ob jected to the course proposed, not because he was notdesirous Of punish in 4 the offence, , not because he was not anxious to prevent its recurrence, hut because he feared the I esult, instead* of punish ment, would give the indemnity. The most e.f fectual way of punishing the offence, would be to throw 'open the . borough, to teach other bo roughs, •that in such-cases, Parliament knew'how to breult that , constitution which had been thus abased. Mr. Pamiori spoke nearly to the, same effect, and moved an amendment, that all the wordS of the original resolution should, he omitted after the word " that," ,for the purpose of inserting these, " this House will, early iu the next Session of Parliament, take into its consideration the state of the borough of Helston, with a view of extend ing-the right of election therein." Mr. ASTELL stated it to be his intention to at tend to the arguments used on both sides of the question, but at present he had a most decided objeethut to the motion helore the House. Mr. S. WoRTLEY objected to the Motion. The consh Ant' the parties accused had been illegal, but , it was not proved to be corrupt. That word, when proposed to be .applied to them in the Com mittee, bad been thrown out. Notice had been taken'of other Boroughs in the course of this.dis cussion. He did not approve of tins. Let He': stop, if proved to be guilty, stiffer, but let them not punish :by heaping ou her that vengeance which was due to others. STUART WORTLRY was against the motion. Mr. BARHAM observed, that it was not the in variable practice at the liduse to proceed by pro sedition, and instanced, as a proof of this, the ease of his own election, in which his opponents were guilty of bribery„ Mr. POLE CAREW Was for the Amendment. • Mr.flotAms rose in consequence of an obser vation that fell front the lion. Member (Ti. Swan), respecting the Clergyman of Tregooy.----- Ue snit! he felt it Lobe due to that Reverend Gen tleman's character to state, that he, from his oun knowledge, could confidently assett, that the grossest represe ntations concerning him had been wade before the Committee, and. that bills of in dictment were found against two of the infamous actors iirthat affair. The Hon. Gentleman was then prueecding to state bow unjustly the tfouxo had acted agaiti;t Thomas Cro,,rtgati, when lie was &ailed to osier ; and in conclusion said, he would give notice of a motion foi his (Croggan's) dis charge. Lord CASTLEOAGII sillily that, in the ease ba fofe the lionSe, no view to corrupt influence was imputed ; but on the contrary, 'the 'miles ac cused had only acted On an ancient practice which few could suppose came within the meaning of the Act, if prosecution Would be effective; and the evil thus corrected ; he would infor pursuing that course;" but if not, he thought it unnecessary and unadvised to proceed in that way, when a better remedy lay before them. Mr. Wynne, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Barham, and Mr. Preston, Severally explained. 0u the nun ion of Lord A. 11ANIILTON, the Re. port of the Tregony Election 'Committee was read, and the Noble Lord proceeded to found thereon a comparison with the present case,, and spoke in favour of the motion. • The ATTORNEY GENERAL, ill reply to some usions thrown out against him, assured the House that his opinion on ibis question hAd not been communicated to any person. Lord A. 11A.MITLTON explained. Lord CASTLEREAGH•i thought the insinuations of the Noble Lord Were unwarranted. Lord A. 11AmAt...1'os - explained. Mr. CANNING spoke in favour of the Amend _meta; It this had been,a ease of gross personal corruption, it would have been right to have ani madverted on the persons coneerue I in it; but where it was notoriously otherwise, they would do better to. apply a rewcdv to a tlragrant,abuse. Au ellectke remedy, was to be preferred to a yin. died we prosecution. Mr. BATnuasT was in ftivour of the !notion, as he thought it right to go against the s ,corpus ctelicli where any sufficient caut , e was in:nle. out.. After a feW \vim's from Sir \V. Lemon, Mr. D. Giddy, and Mr. Oti,,low, and a reply. from Mr. Swan, the House divi,led on the miginal (notion. 41.} - es . is;oes Majority agitinit the Proieentioo (fin our return to the Gallery, Air.

PROTHEROE, and Mi. WESTERN, supported :tlkg. potion, as. inure consistent with the d;giiity character of the 'House, than delaying it to another Session. EAST INDIA BILL Lord CASTLEREAGH intimated that he would t l i ; night present the East I wlia Bill, which would be printed and delivered to Hon. Members to-mor row, or Wednesday at farthest. As this Bill merely embodied the Resolutions, he could not anticipate anyobjection u its being react; a second time on Friday, and he would then move for a Committee on Monday. Sir 11. PAimmt, moved the Order of the Day for the HoUse going into a Committee on the Coin Trade, Upon this question along and desultory: discus skin ensued, 10u:titer it thould .come ou at that time, or he postponed to another Session. Mr. BARING, Mr. ItOSE ) llr. Latceta.Es, Mr. BANti.e.s, Mr. IltrornithOE, M.

Lord CASTLERAGH brought in the Bill for re newing the East India Company's Chi'.; ter. It was read a fist, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday, and (on the motion of Mr. W.

IrtV,LAND, Tuesday se'imight, at the fair of Kilelaran, in this County, two parties to the amount of five or six hundred, assembled for the purpose of riot ing, r which . f . or.` that . :day. was prevented by the neighbouring Gentlemen.
