qtgp r✓ • n 4 E 4 - THE SUN. LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1860. So, even the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill has died the death among the number of the Innocents. It was to be the one redeeming act of the present session. If nothing was done that would be done for certain—and it certainly has been " done," though in a different sense from the one actually pre dicted. The measure that was to compensate those most eager for the advance of legislative improve ment, for the dropping of the Reform Bill, and for the masnacre of all the Innocents—the bill elabo rately prepared by one of the greatest lawyers of his age (the present Attorney-General) for the better organisation of the whole system of our jurisdic tion in regard to Insolvency and Bankruptcy— even this, the latest masterpiece of Sir RICHARD BETIIEL'S ingenuity as Attorney-General, has now been formally withdrawn by that lion. and learned gentleman in the name and on behalf of her MAJESTY'S Government, The resolution to abandon the bill for the present session was arrived at only so recently as two o'clock yesterday morning. That intention was at once communicated to the officers of the House of Com mons, and upon the House going into committee last evening upon the Bill, the Attorney-General rose and explained the necessity for its withdrawal. It is worthy of particular note that Sir HuGH CAIRNS, immediately - upon the close of the hon. and learned gentleman's remarks, rose in his turn for the express purpose of exonerating Sir RICHARD BETHELL from any blame whatever in adopt ing or acceding to the course which had just been announced. On the contrary, far from blaming Sir RICHARD BETHELL, the late Premier's ex-Solicitor- General remarked emphatically that he believed they would all join in expressing the debt of gratitude, which was Sir RICHARD BETIIELL'S due, for the labour he had bestowed upon the bill just with drawn in the name of the Administration. It is the recollection of this, indeed, which lends peculiar poignancy to our regret that so much labour on the part of so gifted a lawyer in the preparation of a bill in itself of such extraordinary . importance, should for this session go for nothing and be lost altogether. The bill had gone so far that We would fain have had it go yet a little further. It was ripe for the gathering. A night or two longer and it might have passed through). its remaining stages, and before the proro • gatio't have been perfected into an enactment worthy of redeeming all the many shortcomings of 1860 in the way of beneficent and comprehensive legisla tive achievements. Such, however, was not to be— and the bill is quietly cushioned. The whole session is certainly thereby rendered more of a piece—but that can be regarded as anything assuredly but a Source of satisfaction to any one. We can only regret that Ministers should thus have lost their last Opportunity for adorning the session of 1860 with one good and wise act of legislation, capable of refl ecting glory and honour upon themselves as an. Administration. The Edinburri4 Rebiiew and the Ballot! Who will not read, mark, l earn, and inwardly digest? After an incubati on, too,r '''. on the subject, we are told, of nearly 30 yea just after the great Reform Bill it did not like, what a lib era l re view ou ght, if it could, to have warmed into life, and since then Long brooding „ better reason ' the matter only confirm ed its aversion. Pot o ' ll has our quarterly contemporary had betr haveos -- Teo nothing about the time o sup it is intended to meal SYDNEY SMITH to our recol lection; but we must acknowledge that the memory of wit and humour on the wrong side makes it very hard work to get through very dull wrongness.

Let us then have a little easy conversa tion—E. R. of the Review, and E. S. the Editor of The Sun. E. R.—Mr. MILL, and higher authority, could hardly be quoted, is against you. E. S.—We admire Mr. MILL as a writer, and replied to him at the time. His authority on this subject is that of an easy living recluse. We have more political faith in MILL the father, than in MILL the son. E. R.—But he says the danger is, now, not coercion by landlords, employers, and customers; but of voting from per sonal interest, or class interest, or some mean feeling in the elector's own mind. E. S.—But Lord DERBY says, tell me the politics of the landlords of a county, and I'll tell you the politics of its representatives. Our observations coincide in their result with Lord DERBY'S. As to the latter notion of Mr. MILL, it is in direct antagonism to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S argument for small boroughs ; he defends them because all classes, even the class of little agricultural boroughs, should be represented. For ourselves, we think, that if every man voted as he thought would be for his own interest, we should get a real representatiou of the interests of the nation. If all mistook their interests, let experience teach them. Better vote for their own interests than for those of landlords and lawyers, and all the other political tyrants. E. R.—lts (the ballot's) reputation, after all, is founded much more on what it professes to do, than on any real ability to come up to its pretensions. E.S.—Whose fault is that ? You give us no chance of displaying its real ability. At Hull, at Cambridge, at Norwich, at Gloucester, at Wake field, we were willing to have our professions tested. Your party always shrink from the test, even in the "vilest body." We are obliged to believe that you know Corruption Prevention Acts to be quackery, and our cure to be efficacious, but that you hate complete electoral independence. E. 11.—Yes, we do (p. 281). We object to throwing the voter loose from efficacious and salutary control—to leave him to his own guidance entirely—(p. 282) with no check of public opinion—to become indifferent, or to yield to the first impulse of passion, interest, or chagrin. E. S.—We thought as much. We on the con trary wish to leave the voter to his own guidance, after he has heard " addresses," listened to discus sions, and read the free press of his country. As to indifference, coercion has made the country electors as indifferent as voting machines ; and bribery does not create the " interest" you would defend ; but as to " passion, interest, and chagrin," we do not know what difference it makes, whether a few indivi dual tenants yield to their own passions and chagrin or whether they have to yield by the fifty and the hundred to the "passions" and all that sort of thing of landlords. We have heard of such things as JOHN BRIGHT himself being let into the city of Durham to show what a chagrined Tory marquis could do. Nor is that a solitary case. E. R.—Never (p. 262), at any period of our history, under Plantagenet, or Tudor, or Stuart, or Com monwealth, have we hitherto had anything to say to secret voting at elections. History and experience give us no reason to assume with confidence that secret voting will promote civil liberty. E. S.—At one time history and experience did not tell us that reporting the debates of our repre sentatives would promote civil liberty, nor that the abolition of the Test and Corporation Acts, and of rotten boroughs, and of Catholic disabilities, and the taxes on knowledge and free-trade would pro mote civil liberty. But all history and experience, so far as we personally know it, tells us that the Ballot, in even humble book societies, in clubs, and in court-martials, does promote social and civil liberty. E. R.—But a scrutiny is the great constitutional remedy against frauds, mistakes, and impostures ; they will be far more easily perpetrated, and utterly incapable of detection under secret voting. E. S.—A scrutiny is nothing but a great, and awfully costly constitutional imposture ; a fraud itself, on the poor candidate, and a mistake if in tended to prevent tindue influence, or, even as facts prove, bribery. But we deny the greater difficulty of detection. The evidence of bribery would be the same as it now is ; and, as you confessed (p. 270) that bribery under the ballot must be by head money, it must be bribery of such numbers as are always found to be the chief means of detection. E. R.—But you could not possibly tell how the votes were given, and who, therefore, ought to be returned ? E. S.—We can tell that the candidate who bribes ought not to be—or that the agents who bribe ought not to get their man in. And where candi dates are really personally innocent, if any such number of bribed persons, or other bad votes, have been given as would affect the return, the worst result would be that another election might be ordered. E. R.—But what vast interests you would intrust to mere mechanism, while you deprive them of the safeguards of publicity. E. S.—On the contrary, we would have the voter come forward publicly and deposit his vote pub licly, and have it taken out and counted publicly . we would only exclude the private corrupt bribery and intimidation, by counter-privacy in regard to the vote publicly given. E. R.—The most ingenious devices can be met by more ingenious ones. Why should the ballot-box be an excep tion ? In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the ballot might be fairly taken, but in the hundredth there might be fraud ; but if in the hundredth it were not so, how great a blow would be struck at our liberties I E. S.—The most ingenious locks may be picked ; being therefore no more of HODGES and BRAMAHS. The best checks which bankers can devise may be evaded; give, therefore, free scope to your PUL LINGERS. Every Corrupt Practices Prevention Act can be defied ; repeal, therefore, all of them. By open voting not one election in ten is quite honestly taken ; how have our liberties survived such blows ? E. R.—But you ballstists say that a vote to be honest must be secret. Now discussion and combination have a tendency to prevent the secrecy of a vote ; therefore—by ARISTOTLE I—you are against discussion and combination. E. S.—By ARISTOTLE !—we have not time for further discussion just now. But you put a universal into our mouths where we should use a particular only. We ballotists say a ' vast number of votes must be secret to secure honesty. We also say that the secrecyenables all these persons to listen to discussion, with the advantage of knowing that they can fearlessly vote according to the impressions the discussions make upon their minds, no one daring to interfere. Com binations are often tyrannies. They were so in the case of workmen in New South Wales. The Ballot leaves the combinations untouched so far as they are not oppressive. But at Sydney the Ballot proved in the case of the artizan the truth of your description (p. 277)—" But under the Ballot JONES may be quite at case ; he may smoke his pipe, drink his beer, shout his three times three to the last, march up to the ballot box with his brothers in arms, and betray them without suspicion." We must part for the evening ; perhaps we may meet again. We would most earnestly direct public attention to another part of our impression of this evening, in which will be found the announcement for Wed nesday next (the 25th instant) of a very remarkable dramatic entertainment. It is a performance of a peculiarly attractivg and miscellaneous character, announced by the Committee of the Savage Club for the beifit of the widow and children of one THE SUN, LuiNDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 20, of their late members recently deceased under very melancholy circumstances. It is a generous tribute in effect which is about to be offered to his memory by the friends and admirers of a young man of letters suddenly carried off by a swift disease in the midst of his honourable toils and in the plenitude of his intellectual powers—a tribute of a substantial kind proffered (as he himself could best have wished) to his lamenting relict and his three little orphan children. It vial be yet fresh in the general recollection that the departed writer—the late ROBERT BROUGH— died so abruptly and unexpectedly, that his decease occurred during a casual journey to the north of England, we believe to his birthplace: His demise was so wholly unlooked for that no provision what ever appears to have been made for his young widow and their almost infant children—a circumstance the less surprising seeing that the young father and husband himself was struck down by death so very prematurely. The sympathy excited by this melancholy bereavement of the widow and orphans of ROBERT BROUGH has been at once and on all hands proved with affecting earnestness among the mass of the dead litterateur's fellow labourers in literature. Striking evidence of this will be found in the very announcement already referred to as given elsewhere in to-day's impression of The Sun—in which announcement will be discerned so many tokens of ROBERT BROUGH'S appreciation by so very many of his gifted contemporaries. The general committee acting upon this occasion will be there seen to number no less than seventy-four names honourably, some of them resplendently, dis nguished in art and literature. At the head of the list appears, for example, the great name of CHARLES DICKENS—type of a noble genius, and a yet nobler heart, always ready to sympathise with any brother of the pen sorely in need of sympathy, or to co-operate (as in the present instance) in aiding materially those whom any departed labourer at the desk may have left behind him in the wide, wide world without adequate provision. Asso ciated with Mr. DICKENS in this enterprise of generous and practical sympathy, are seventy-three other committee-men, among whose names it would be invidious to make any further selection. Per sonal friends they are for the most part, we be lieve, of the young humorist and dramatist, whose brilliant talents and amiable disposition they have thus united to commemorate. In aid of the committee no less than six of our metropolitan managers have readily come forward with the con cession of the services of some of the most eminent members of their respective establishments. The Companies of the Haymarket, the Adelphi, the Olympic, the Princess's, and the little Strand Theatre thus contribute effectively towards the diversity and general excellence of the proposed entertain men. The Theatre-Royal Drury-Lane, is the spacious house wisely chosen for the scene of these performances. The actors and actresses who have volunteered their services for the night include amongst them some of the chief of our London favourites. It is announced already as certain, that the entertainments on Wednesday will conclude with one of the most humorous and bril liantly successful of the burlesques of the Brothers BROUGH, namely, The Enchanted Island. The more miscellaneous part of the performance, com prising an Original Prologue to be spoken by Mrs. STIRLING—at dan Occasional Address delivered and written by Mr. G. A. SALA—together with ROBERT BROUGH'S poem of " Godiva," to be recited by Mr. LEICESTER BUCKINGHAM. We cannot entertain the smallest doubt but that the generous efforts thus made by so many gifted collaborateltrs will ensure, on Wednesday evening, a triumphant suc cess within the walls of Drury Lane Theatre to the " ROBERT BROUGII Testimonial."

Austrian Lombard MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. There has been rather less activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Tea has been exceedingly quiet, the dealers deferring their operations until after the arrival of advices by the Overland Mail. For sugar there s t has been a steady enquiry, chiefly for home con- sumption, and prices have been fairly maintained. sti Coffee at public sale went at slightly reduced rates, St ' but the enquiries for the better descriptions were to an average extent. Rice continued dull and the dealings in saltpetre were only to a limited extent, at about former quotations.

TIIE 'MYSTERIOUS MURDER NEAR FROME.-- The Sherburne Journal of yesterday says :—" Th e re is no thing fresh relative to this horrible * affair. The detective has entered upon his difficult—almost hopeless—task. The girl has returned to Mr. Kent's , ha vin g been persuaded do so, we believe, by one of the Magistrates. She told them that the child being in her charge when it was mur dered, she considered herself in some measure responsible for it, and was a n xious to do her part to de tect the mur derer. She was also afraid if she went home that her motives might be misconstrued. Up to the present hour this most revolting deed of darkness remains wrapped in obscurity."

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms DAY.) Tho SPEAKER. took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Aylesbury and Buckingham Rail way (by the promoters) ; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (Deviations and New Lines, dm) ; Mid Sussex and Midhuret Junction Railway Deviation ; Peters field Railway ; West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway ; and Manchester and Milford Railway. The Galway Harbour (No. 2) Biil was read a second time ; and on the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the following was agreed to :—That the standing orders be suspended, and that the bill be referred to the former committee on the Galway Harbour Bill, with leave to sit and proceed on Monday next. SAVINGS BANK AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. S. ESTCOURT said he felt bound, from a sense of duty, to oppose this bill, which he did with pain, as he considered that this was a measure which should be in the hands of Government. He objected to the entire scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in reference to the bill, which was fundamentally at variance with the recommendation of the committee. It was proposed to deal with the whole stock created by the accumulation. of savings bank depositors for several years, and this stock is held by Government as a secur ity t o local banks in the same way as any other Government security is held in reference to individuals. It was proposed also to cancel stock to the amount, in round numbers, of £29,000, and the bill had other provisions which were very objectionable. He repeated the arguments urged against the bill on the second read ing, and contended that all the objects proposed by Govern ment would be effected without the creation of a book debt, as proposed by the bill. The matter involved was not a mere savings bank question, but a question of public policy, nd though he had carefully studied the subject he was satisfied that the evils would exceed any advantages re sulting from the measure. He concluded by moving the omission of the clause. Mr. BRISCOE considered that if the Chancellor of the Exchequer required money he should obtain it constitution ally, and not employ for State purposes the money confided to his custody. He thought Government should not be tempted to use such money fer financial operation/3, but that they should regard it entirely as trust property. Mr. HUBBARD said if this bill were introduced simply to confirm the rights of depositors with reference to money deposited in,savings banks4t was, unnecessary, because at present Government were obliged to return the money to the depositors. But he considered it went further, and ' proposed to simplify, amend, and improve the management of savings banks with respect to the money in the hands of Government. As regarded the objection of the hon. member (Mr.lEstcourt) in referenceite the creation of book debts, he drew attention to the fact that on the books of the Bank of England would be found an item of £11,000,000 from Go vernment, and that was considered as good a debt as any other security of Government, although nothing more than a book debt. He strongly deprecated the use of the money of savings banks for the purposes of financial in trigue, and he thought such a practice would be most ad vantageous to the interests of a Government. He also strongly objected to the clause which gave the Chancellor of the Exchequer the power to create a new stock, but he denied that the bill was open to other objections which had been advanced against it. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer wished to have the money deposited in Savings' Banks for financial operations, he would not have introduced the present bill which frustrated any such intention, if it were ever entertained. He was aware that the measure waii unpopular out of doors, but he had exa mined the several petitions against it which were all one sided, and were not really directed against its essence , being founded on an entire misapprehension. He concluded by expressing his approval of the bill generally. Mr. HENLEY asked who wanted this bill--had any one petitioned from any quarter for any bill of the kind If the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose to waste the money of the savings banks, or to do what he liked with it, the country would be pledged to pay the money so expended. Now, be did not think that the present bill made any al. teration on that point. Tie committee who had investi gated this subject and the public had avery strong feeling as the question. [LEFT SPEAKING.' THE REV. JAMES BONWELL'S CASE. COURT OF ARCHES. THE BISHOP OF LONDON V. THE REV. 7A:ISIES BONWELL. (Before Dr. Lushington, Dean of Archesi The promoter of this suit is the Bishop of London, and the defendant, the Rev. James Bonwell, incumbent of St. Philip's, Stepney, in his lordship's diocese. Sir J. Harding, the Queen's Advocate, and Dr. Tristram, appeared for the Bishop. Mr. Bonwell conducted his own case, assisted by Mr. Sorrell, his solicitor, Sir J. Harding said he had little to say as to the opening of the case, which he thought he should be able to prove. With regard to two of the witnesses he should produce he had to say that they had been in Mrs. Bonwell's service, and were thus as it were brought out of the opposite camp. (The learned advocate afterwards said he did not mean to imply that the witnesses had been in Mrs. Bonwell's ser vice ). Mr. Bonwell said he was prepared to declare that the evidence of the witnesses alluded to he could easily upset if they were called. Their evidence had been concocted, and if they gave such evidence as was stated in the articles he should certainly prosecute tbem for perjury. One of these witnesses stated in the articles that Miss Yorath wore a nightcap. He had ascertained that Miss Yorath never wore a nightcap. Mr. Collis, a clerk in the Consistory Court, proved the license of Mr. Bonwell to the perpetual curacyof St. Philip Stepney, on 11th April, 1845, vacant by the resignation ol the Rev. G. T. Duffield (now rector of Bow), on the floral' nation of the Principal and fellows of Brasenose College , Oxford. He produced a certificate of Mr. Bonwell's „err' riage with Miss Sophia Bird, at Christ Church, Bradfor d, Yorkshire, on the Ist of January, 1839. Mr. Bonwell was described in the certificate as a bachelor and a schoolmaster. Mr. Humphreys, coroner of East Middlesex, gave an account of an inquest held in September and October last on the body of Philip Yorath, the child, out of whose death the present inquiry arose. Miss Georgiana Ames said she now resided in Bath with Major Watts, her grandfather. She had known Elizabeth Yorath for two-and-a-half years. She paid a visit to Major Watts on the 12th of September, 1858, at Margate, and left on the Ist of December. She knew a Mrs. Robin son at Margate. She recollected meeting Mr. Bonwell at their house. That was the first time she had met him. Miss Elizabeth Yorath was with her. She was not a ware that Miss Yorath had met Mr. Bonwell before. They became acquainted on that evening, and talked together. After that Mr. Bonwell called at her grandfather's house, when MisS, Yorath was there. He called on Miss Y ora th. H e celiac , frequently, and they were often in company together. Sho had seen them sitting on the sofa together. She had seer , him put his arm on her shoulder and round her waist, but she had not seen any improper conduct. This was not till he believed he was engaged to her. From his general conduct to her she supposed he was engaged to Miss Yorath• He was exactly like an engaged lover to her, and Miss Yorath told her that she was engaged to him. Mr. Bonwell—That is not evidence. The Judge—Certainly not. Dr. Tristram—Did Mr. Bonwell ever tell you that he was engaged to Miss Yorath? Witness—No. Mr. Bonwell—l never told any lady . so.

Mr. Bonwell—lt shall come out in evidince that Miss Yorath knew all the time that I was married Examination continued—She remembered Mr. Bonvvell, and Miss Yorath going together to Ramsgate. She thought they went to Ramsgate two or three times while they were all at Margate. Mrs. Robinson accompanied them, witnt she thought, one exception. She believed they wont alone when Mrs. Robinson did not accompany them. On that occasion they went away between one and two o'clock in the day, and returned between eight and nine in the evening' She did not see Miss Yorath again until the Bth of June? 1859. She called at Major Watts' house in Margate, and left on the next day. She believed, from her appearance? that Miss Yorath was pregnant. Cross-examined by Mr. Bonwell—She did not remember on what day it was she accompanied Miss Yorath alone. were a a n t t e e n n g t a i v g e e d to person her. l' Witness—You Mr. Bonwell—What do you b e li eve t o b e t h e distin guishitinugesce—hayraecutewriest characteristics svery of Mr. Bonwell—l was very attentive to you, was I not ? Witness—Yes; but not so attentive to me as you were to Miss Yorath. (Laughter.) Mrs. Anne Rod inson, wife of Mr. Henry Robinson, said she was living at Margate in September, 1858, and was on friendly terms with Miss Ames and Major Watts. Sh e made the acquaintance of Miss Yorath there at tne time through Miss Ames. She also made the acquaintance ca Mr. Bonwell through having seen him at the Bedford Hotel. He was afterwards several times at their hone° with Miss Yorath, and dined with them on the 14th of October. Mr. Bonwell's manner to Miss Yorath was vet/ polite and gentlemanly. He seemed pleased with her. She could not recollect that Mr. Bonwell ever said he was un married or a widower. Mr. Bonwell sat OR the sofa, with his arm round Miss Yorath's waist. There were several people in the room. Miss Yorath went to town on Decerir ber Ist, as far as she could recollect. She saw Mi ss Yorat h in May or June, 1859, at Marget°• There was 5 peat alteration in her appearance—in her size. Sh e alr Miss Yorath wont? peered to be in the family-way.
