FRANCE. A deputation from the inhabirants of Paris and the suburb, consisting of from 1.5 to 20 person=, each attired in a full suit of black, waited on the President of the Republic on Tuesday, to present him with a bouquet of fl,wers en the occasion of his birthday. On quitting the Elysei they gave expressive signs of the satisfaction they felt at their reception. According to the military almanack, just published, the French army comprises 18,304 officers. It is commanded by the President of the RFpublie, having under his order five Marshals 78 Generals of Division, and 152 Generals of Brig'id'. The Court of Assiz4s of Go.ics tried, a few day ago, a shoemaker, named Augu , tin Cicuc , 2i, for the mur der of his brother Peter. It ap?eared that a dispute arose between them about a sum of the baiance due on a division of some faintly property. A violent quarrel followed, and at length the two brothers, both of whom had bean drinkiost, discharged their guns at each other, and Peter tell mortsLy wounded. The jury declared the accused 'guilty with extenuating circumstances, and the court con demned him e.) fifteen year.4' hard labour at the hulks. The Court then tried a Garde C -.re, named Orsatelli, tor rnurd , r. 0 k the 29h of May, 1R.19, he met a day l*hoitrar, rialvid Orsini, at a public house, at Alhitro, en 1 de sianded from him 80a., which he declared to be due. Orsini denied the debt, and refused to pay. A iii•pa:*e ensued. and they defied each other to sunlit combat. Soros persons, how.v.r, 44H4,ed them, and o:si ni went away accorn,)Ani by his wife. After proceed ing some dis:ance, preaented himself before them, and cried to Pray to Gyi, for you are about to die !" Orsini's wife threw herself before him and implored Orsatelli not to take ven geance, and Orsini himself offered to give him all the money he ha , !, if he would let him alum:. " Bu'," crud ' it is not money, but blood that I require! ' And at the same mome nt he dis charged his muNkat at his breast, and the unfortunate man fell mortally wounded. The wife of the de ceased gave evidence, and when she had concluded she cried to the jars: : I have several children, .And oh ! punish thi- murder that they may no bec.nm) assassins to avenge their Ustner Tne jury brought in a verdict of guilty, with extenuating circumstances and the Court sentenced him to twenty years' hard labour at the bulk'. 1T AL .

A special ordAr has arrived, from the general of the district, at Montefusco, which says, " Theseprisoners are to he treated with the full prison severity, espe cially Poerio and Nisco, who are not worthy to live. They are to have no medical treatment." Such is the treatment of the constitutional prisoners of Naples. and thin, too, after energetic representa tions of friendly tiovernments—after a representation of the bishop of the district, awl an humble petition to the ThTone of the wives and Tamilies of the victims of cruelty unworthy of the ags in which we live.

A.ND MUSIC Oi'aaa CONtiQUe.—An operetta has been produced here wider the title of Galatie, with better founded claims on the permanent favour of the public than the trifiss which have b-en recenly brought out here. It is founded on the graceful mythological tale of Pygmalion and Galatea, but in this case it is Venus, wino, to punish the sculptor fur his disregard of her worship, animates his statue, of whom of course he becomes enanoured. Galatea, however, like her name sae in the eclogue, turns out so desperate a coquette, And causes her lover such pangs of jealousy, that the , 40 ddeaa-5.4. Qiem sTe•Tue circurnvolat, et Cupido"— takes pity upon his sufferings. and finally restores Gals tee to her pristine stste. Mien this little sketch, the joint production of M Core é and B irhier, the com plier, M. Ma-4, has written a partition displaying freshness and melody, and, occasionally, an imps sioued tend - •riless that augur well for the future career of this young composer. Madame Ugalde was the Gslatee, and sang the music allotted to her with her usual brilliancy awl entrain, which made some amends felt her physical disqualifications for the 'part: This laily r a'style, as well as her voice, has how ever undergone a deterioration since her first appear at the Opera Connive, quite painful to witness. Enough remains, however, to place her beyond any other cencatrice this theatre can boast. The Pyg rnelion was Mile. Wertheirnber, who displayed her fine contralto organ to the best niventage, and fairly. shared the applause with Mme. Ugalde. En pas sant, let us say that the enthusiasm of the public, a •• first representation public " it is true, broke forth in plaudits as loud and frequent as though they were listening to a work combining the efforts of Mozart, Weber, and Meverbeer all put altogether! The get ting up of Galatie is elegant and tasteful, and the care with white' Mocker and St. Foy went through a brace of secondary pars, greatly contributed to the perfection or the ensemble. A fashionably attended concert took place on Thursday at Pleyel's rooms, the biueficiare being M. Albert, a pianist of greet merit, but as yet better known in foreign musical circles than in Paris. M. Albert posfesses remarkable agility and correct ness of fingering, combined with a rare power of siaging, as it were on his instrument, and though not wautiug in energy, he never makes those fi-rce onslaughts on his piano which are so much the tashien of the day, and that really make one feel for the unfoKunete iestrument. M. Albert played a sonata of Beethoven''',and several morceaux of his composition, all of which were warmly eppisuded ; two pieces, however (a due for two pianos, with M. Cello', and yerietiolis on the Schleswig-Holstein Hewn), were special favourites. M. Jecuard played a fantasia of Servei'e on the . vielincello in a manner deserving the highest commendation. The greatest praise that can be awarded, however, is to mention the fact that this gentleman's performance strongly reminis, one of that of M. Bizzini on the violin. Toe other vecaliets were Mines.

Oa Wednesday a very crowded assembly attended in the tilll of the society, John-street, Adelphi, Lord Monteag le in the chair, to hear the lecture of Mr.D igby Wyatt, on " An attempt to define the principles , ehich should determine form in the decorative arts." rhe lecture, we need hardly remind our readers, is one of a series undertaken by the members of society to illustrate the obj,cte displayed at th- Great Exhibiti )n. The lecture delivered on this occasion by Mr. Wyatt was a very elaborate disqui sition on the principles exhibited by nature in all the departments of the physical crecion, which must ever guide the artist in his formative pence-see, and a dili gent study of which, therefore, was indlipensable to success in the decorative arts. The leading prin ciples of nature which a diligent observer would meet with everywhere, and which should therefore determine form, were thua descrihsd by the lecturer. The first quality with which the observer must be struck is the infinite variety of form which pervades creation. When the most complex fl )wer is submitted to the test of a , cientiflc botanical examination, no particles are found to be adventitious—all are concerned in ful 6lling the appointed functions of vegetable physiology. As those functions vary with the growth of the plant, ao in every case does it form—changing from tender bud to blooming flower, and from bloom ing flower to reproductive seed-pod, as each suc cessive change of purpose progresses. lufinite variety and unerring fitness thus appear to govern all form in nature. While the former of these properties demonstrates ,her infinite power of 'einnplexity, the latter restrains the former, and binds - in beautiful simplicity. In every case -ornament appears the offspring of necessity alone, and where :vverr structural necessity permits, the simplest lines in 9 case consistent with the variety of uses of the which spring erect object are adapted. T hus, _ the principal forest tree?, their normal stateand noinfluenced by special condi houghs equally Mons of light on all sides, growing so Gym. heat, shoot straight aloft, with i r a no e s tr t ic in a s li t y a r, ee th es a , t p a re r e e i g sv u l la d r cone _or . oviform would, in balanced y fro e m fine th t e h . eir outline; and thus the climbing plants, along the ground in creep weal:rise:ratappearance, wayward lines, until they reach something stron ger more erect than themselves ; to this t h ey e a r from it they hang either vertically or in " and propriety of most graceful festoons ; to each its characte7thef form as of purpose—to each the simplest line o con sistent with its appointed functions an d expression. While a consideration of the quality of fitness binds us to simplicity, that of variety, as if in counterbalance, conducts us to a just recognition of the value of contrast throughout the works of crea tion. Simplicity becomes appreciable only when op . - posed to complexity, while complexity itself will, on analysis, be found to crnsist only of the combination of parts, individually, of extreme simplicity. Nature, in working out her harmonies of contrast, abounds with optical corrections. The infinitely„ gentle convexity if her water sky line is precisely corrected into perfect apparent horizontality by con trast with,any line at right angles to a tangent to its curve. It is by attention to the optical effects pro duced by_the impact of lines upon one another in na ture, that the artist can alone store his mind with the most graceful varieties of delicate contrast. Thus it is alone that he can appreciate the extreme beauty and generally inappreciable doifvhergerecLen't;rt minute, e nu p t r e eoise rna . thernatical figures, in licrtgialtba Wiaigie 341 40 117 *WA e We, have already sho.vn, that her leading forms should he modAled. We have now arrived at a recognition of the four principal elements which invariably concur in produoing those et:notions of d- light, which may be reg-trdea as infallible tests of our contact with real beauty in the produ‘ttions of natur—variety—fitness, simplicity, awl contrast. The rest of the lecture, which occupied altogether about two hours in the delivery, consisted for the most part of an application of these principles to the works of art that adorned the Great Exhibition, and were illu.trat_ed by various beautiful specimens in w. rks of metal, Klass, and textile fabrics, which bad been lent for toe purpose. At the close of tb• lecture a vote of thank., moved by Mr. R•dgrav,<, and seconded by Mr. T. H. Hope, M.P., was uf,annnou,dy accorded to Mr. Wyatt., for his lecture; and thanks were also voted to the manu facturers who had sent their manufactures to the society. STEAM NAVIG kTIoN—SAFETY VALVES. The following instructions helve been issued by the Lards of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, for the guidance of engineer survefurs, under the Steam Navigvion Act, 1852. with rvspect to the safety valves required by the 2lst section of the Act: — The 21,t section of the Act rt quire* that after the 31 , 4 d ey of March, 1852, each bce er of every steam vessel shall have a saf ty valve "ftee from the care of the engineer, and out of his control and interfetence." Some doubts having been expressed as to the weaning of the above section, and some practical diffi,fuli having been experienced in bringing it into operation, the atten tion of the engineer surveyors is directed to the follow inginstructi,n-, which have been aclopted,by my Lords after mature delineraiineyand are now issued fur the future guidance of these officers. Each boiler must be d with a safety valve con structed so that it shall be entirely out of the control of the engineer when the steam is up, and so that he may not have the power of increasing the pressure upon it in any manner whilst the ve*sel is under steam. My Lords consider that the responsibili y of seeing to the efficiency of the mode in which this is done rests with the surveyors; but the following are modes which appear to them to be satisfactory. The valve may either be contained wholly within the boiler and sccessibla through the man-hole only, or on the out'ide ut the b filer , enclosed in a box sufficiently large only for the weights and the necessary motion for them, and secured by a lock, of which the k.y is ant t) be kept by the t•nginer, a:.d it kept on board, to be in charge of ;he mAbter of the vessel, who will. of course, in such c ise he respousib'e, should any atditional weight or pressure Iv.. placed on the valve. These safety valves are in all cs, , :es to be of the same areas ai the orlinary safety valves upon the same boiler. and to bear an t qusl or less pressure, but not in any case more. In cages where two or more boilers of a steamer hive a nolancon steam chest, and there is no means of shutting cff eett•Ti from, or disconnecting either of them, they may, so far ai the slfety valve in vestion it concerned, be considerei a , one holler. My Lord, think it extremely desirabh that the safety valve required by the Act should be in addition to the or dinary v.►lve and the .urveprs sttould point this out to the ownrri of ves4els; but IA! it is not expressly enjoined by the Act, the; are not to reuse a drclaration on ac• count of the recommendstion not being complied with. The engine.-r surveyors ate, 9.) far as in tteir power, to makA my Lord,' opinion ou these points generally known to the proprietors of steam-vessels carrying pas4engers. In order to give time for preparation, the 30th day of June next ha, been fixed as the time at which the above instructions are to come into lull operation; and the stir• veyors arrn, th,reFore. not to give any deolarerion for steam vessel after that dive, unless they are satisfied that the requisite saie:y vAlva is fitted a ceor di„l y .

S P. ALBANS DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. The Earl of DERBY rose to move the second reading of this 13111. The Noble Earl said he was aware t h at their Lordship would be very unwilling to agree to any measure of disfranchisement which bad not been pre ceded by an investigation, or which could only lead to the punishment of many for the sins of a few. But if he could show that in the present case the bribery bad not been ce.ntined to a few, but had extended over the whole electoral body; that it had not been limited to a single election, but had prevailed at several successive elections—it he could show that the bribery had been exorbitant in its amount, and if the whole of these facts sad bean substantia . ed betore a comeetent tribunal, which had entered into an inquiry on the subject under the sanction of an Act of Parliament—he felt persuaded that they would not then be disposed to save the offend ing borough from the esoialty justly due to its offences. Ia the course of the year 1850 a vacancy had taken ()lace in the representation of St. Alben's, in conse quence of the death of one of the members. A contest had ensued, as had almost always been the case;and the result of that contest had been the retu rn o f a Mem ber who had been petitioned against, in the session of 1851, on the ground of gross and notorious bribery. The petition had been tried before a Committee of the House of Commons, and the evidenc e wh i ch had been brought before that Committee had been sufficient to satisfy them that extensive bribery had been practised at the election; but in consequence of th e evas i on an d escape of some of the principal witnesses, it had been found impossible to bring home that bribery to the sitting Member or his agents. The Committee had, therefore, made the somewhat inconsistent report that gross bribery hal been committed at the election, but that it could not affect the seat of the sitting Member. He (the Earl of Derby) w ould say a few wo r d s in pass i ng, on the effect the alterations ma d e i n the tri b unals to which r trial of elections h a d b een referred. Un peordt produced e by ifotOtedly great abuses had been pat an end to by the introduction of the Grenville Ac'; but, in spite of that Act and the various incififications and improvements which hed twist - vend); been mole in it, those election 'ribunals had been pervaded by this detect, that the inves option of that which was a public grievance could only ne prosecuted by individuals, and mat the investigation could not take place if private individuals were unwilling to incur the great expense by w hi c h i t was amempas nied. He was Wrairi that under that arrangement gross oribery had prevailed at the elections in various bo r o uges, session after session; although he would not go so far as a person of the n L,me of Coppock, whose expe rience in the annals of corruption was unparalleled on *he part of any other individual in this country, who for the last fifteen or sixteen years had been a leading agent in contested elections, and who, after having stated that be knew something of most of the borou e tbs in England, added that, if he were to go through them from the first to the last, he should be able to mike quite as extraordinary revelations with respect to them generally as Mr. Edwards had made with respect to the He (th e E ar l of D er b y ) re peated prepared t o go qu i te that l engt h, borough of hSat. was Alb not ati 'e . although he admitted the great experience and knowledge of Mr. Coppock in that matter; and he hoped it would be remembered at the next election that the appearance st Mr. Coppock in a borough afforded a prima facie evidence that bribery was to be practised there. The House of Commons h a d t h ought it necessary to ta k e up the question affecting th e borough of St. Alban's, not tor the purpose of unseating the sitting Member, but in order to aeaertaia how far bribery had prevailed in the borough. They had passed an Act, wnich had sub sequently received the assent of their Lardshipe, by which a Commission had been appointed with very ex tensive powers to inquire into the proceedings in the borough, not only at the list election, but at any pre ceding e lection to whmh they might think it desirable to extend their investigation,. The disclosures made to that Commission were as open and as frank as any one could desire. It appeared that previously to the passing of the Reform Act the constituen of St. Albaa's had consisted of b etween 600 and 700 voters; but when the non-resident freemeu had be en s t r uck off by that Act, and the 101. householders had been introduced, the number of the electors had been considerably diminished. The total number of them in 1850 bad amounted to 483. It appeared that the political influence in the borough had originally been divided between the two great families of Spencer and Albemarle. Previously to the Reform A ct i t had been the practice to g i ve a speci fied amount of h ead money to each elector. But it had subsequent l y turned out that the 101 . householders had b een much more vena l t h an t h e o ld voters, and th at h igher sums ba d b een p a id to :hem. The C omm i ssioners had come to t h e conc l us i on that previously to t h e Reform Act one t hi r d par t o f t h e total sum expe n d e d at an election in t he b oroug h was spent in brib ery , while two-thirds of the tota l expense of an electio n t h ere since the passing of the Reform Act had been de vote d to the corruption of the e l ectors. Th e cost of the v a ri ous candidates at seven e l ect i ons d ur i ng a period of 19 years had amounted to 37,0001,, of which two-thirds, or 24,6001., had been spent in bribery; and that gave an average of more than 3,000!, spent in bri bery at each election. In 1841 the bribery oath had been administered to every voter who had gone to the poll, and the oath had been taken by each of them; and yet there had been spent at that election upwards of 6,0001., of which 4,0001. had been employed in bribery. The tote' Dumber of 101 voters was 354, and of these 212 ha bitually sold their votes ; and of 66 snit and lot voters 64 habitually s o ld : h e i r vitas. There were two part i es i n t h e borough —the C onservative party, which was represented by a gentlem an o f the name of Biagg, an d t h e Lib e ral party, which w as represented b y a gent l eman o f the name of Edward s . T here was also a th i r d or a neutra l party, which h a d b een establishe d un d er the auspices o f Mr. Webster. That, latter party embraced 200 voters-- a number amply sufficient to turn the scale at an election. The member; of that Fatty had be e n la the 1121 ' 4 of hanging up a ksy in the town as an indication that they were about to take part in a contest. The C.inamis,ioners reported that there was no doubt of the gross general senelt y of the borough. and th at, as Mr. Ceppoek said, the great rnsjority 4 the electors had always been bought and tultl, I'i the year 1847, tt ter a variety of intrieues between Mr. Ceppock, Mr. Blagg, and Mr. Edwards, Mr. Raphael had been returned as the Liberal candidate, and with him Mr. Repton, a Conservative; and it was a remarkable fact that the voters for Mr. Repton had been bribed with the money advanced by Mr. Raphael, in order to carry out a previous arrange ment; for i, app-ar..d that there was honour even among lavtion agents.—(A laugh.) Mr Raphael hid not lived long enough to enjoy nis success. tie had died in the sear 1850. Mr. Coppock had instantly been in the field. At an interview with Mr. Edwards he had promised a situation to the son of the la ter, and there was ample evidence to show that Mr. C ip pock bad possessed the power of obtaining public situa tions. At that time there hal appeared un the stage a gentleman of the name of Simpson. who had been a clerk to Mr. Blsgg and then to Mr. Edwards, and whe en finding that the bribing of electors bad not been an unprofitable trade, had set op for himself. He and Mr. Edwards had hit on a candi late in the person of a practising chemist and druggist, who had been desirous of obtaining a seat in Parliament, not for the purpose of exercising any p deice' influence. but for this purpose of carrying some measures connected with the medical prwession. Bolt these gentlemen came to Mr. Bell, whom they found ready to treat. It was true that Mr. Ball throughout the contest declared that he would have nothing to do with the election, and that all matters of expense should be dealt with by his friend. It ap peared, however, that this friend, who had negotiated payments to the extent of 3 0001., was the confiden tial partner of Mr. Bell, carrying on business with ' him, and with whom he was in daily correspondence. It appeared that Simpson found it necessary to get an other candidate, and Alderman Carden was applied to. It was but justice to Alderman Carden to state that he seemed desirous of representing St. Alban's on the purity system. He was told that if he went to St. Al ban's he would be the means of restoring the borough to a state of purity, as there were many voters there sick of the bribery system, and anxious to support him. It appeared, from the evidence of the witness Blanks, hat he went to London to seek for a candidate to pre vent the course being walked over, and that Alderman Carden went down. It appeared that he was received by the town conucVlors, some of whom walked arm in arm with him, and that out of the sixteen councillors, twelve voted for him, two against him, and two remained neutral. The solicitor of Alderman Carden found out what was going on in the borough, and informed him that he had no chance unless he bribed. Alderman Carden refused to do this. Though he had spent 6001., there was no reason to suppose that he was cognisant of any bribery, and the result was, that Mr. Bell polled 276 votes, and Aldermen Carden, the candidate on the purity system, polled only 147 votes. Mr. Bell, after having spent a large sum, was returned, and ho must do that gentleman the justice to say that he appeared to be a forgiving and much enduring man, for when the Bill for the disfran chisement of St. Alban's met with the unanimous support of the other [louse in all its stages, Mr. B-ll'a was the only voice raised to protest against the hardship done to St. Alban's, and to utter a melancholy plaint on the too probable fate of the corrupt borough which he repre sented. In conclusion, he begged to read the summary which the Commissioners had given at the end of their report, as to the bribery which had been practised:— " We find that a sum of 3,5001. was advanced by Mr. Raphael to Mr. Henry Edwards for the purposes of the election in 1847; that the greater part of that sum was expended by him with the knowledge of Mr. Raphael in bribing voters; and that Mr. Raphael owed his elec tion in 1847 to such bribery. " We find that the sum of 1,2001. was expended by Mr. Blagg on behalf of Mr. Repton, for the purposes of the el , ctai in 1847; that 500/ , part of this sum, was ad vanced by Mr. Edwards to Mr. Wage, for the express purpose of bribery, and was expended by Mr. Blagg in buying votes fur Mr. Repton ; that Mr. Repton, during the polling, and before the election, knew that bribery was being practised on his behalf, and we find that he owed his election in 1847 to such bribery. "We find that nearly 1 0001 was advanced by the Hon. Mr. Craven to Mr. El ward Gibson for the pur poses of the election in 1847, when he was one of the unsuccessful candidates; that 3001, part of this sum, was given by Mr. Gibson to Mr. James Vass for the purpose of bribing voters on behalf of Mr. Craven; and that the said sum of 3001 was expended by Mr. Vass in bribery. " We find that Mr. Craven was not directly cognisant of any portion of the money having been expended is bribery ; but that he had strung suspicion of the way in which the money had been employed. We find tbac a sum of 800/ was advanced by Mr. Wilks for the purposes of the election in 1847, when he also was one of the unsuccessful candidates; and that a large portion of this sum was expended by his agent, Mr. Thomas Harris, in bribery on his behalf; that Harris gave 751. to George Perry, and 501. to Mr. Frederick Theophilus Webster, for the purpose of bribing voters for Mr. Wilks; and that the said sums , were expended by Perry and Webster iu bribery. " We find that at the election in 1850, 2,5001. was ad vanced by Mr. Thomas Hydes Hills on Mall of Mr. Bell to Mr. Henry Edwards; that the greater part of this sum was expended by Mr. Edwards in bribery; and that Mr. Hills well knew at the time that he ad vanced the money that it was to be so applied. " We find that 2,0001. of this sum was advanced by way of loan to Mr. Hills, by Messrs. Brace and Colt, who knew the purposes to which it was to be applied. "We find that of tne 2,5001 2,0001. was first trans mitted by Mr. Hills to he effice of Mr. Coppock by his direction, and was thence forward. d to Mr. Edwards at St. Albana by Mr. Coppock, with full knowledge on the part of the latter that it was to be expended in bribery. " We fled that Mr. Bell knew that money was being advanced on his behalf for the purpoes of bribery, and we find that he owed his election to such bribers " The report then stated the number of voters who received bribes at the election of 1847. Out of 450 electors the names were given of 307 who bad received bribes, The total number who received bribes at the election of 1850 was proved to be 219, though, doubtless, there were others whose cases had not been proved. He thought he had stated suifictent to show that the bribery had n o r been incidental—that it was not confined to a few, and that disfranchisement would not, therefore, be an unme rited punishment of the whole for a fault of the few. On the contrary, the bribery had been systematic, election after election, and at least two-thirds of the voters had been proved to be corrupt. Such a state of things would, he feared, continue if the borough were allowed to return Members to Parliament, and so long as the constituency, without any consideration except that of money, allowed themselves to be driven like sheep to the poll by those from whom they received their bribes. The House of Commons in this case bad taken the only course it could take, and after the clear and conclutive evidence which had been laid before Parliament on the subject, he trusted their Lordships would agree unani mously in reading a seennd time this Bill tor disfran chisiug the borough of Ss. Alban's. Lord ItEDESD ALE ( Rho occupied the Woolsack) said that b-fore h.- put thi vestion he wished to inform their Lordships that a petition had been presented from St. Alban's by eeriain persons praying to be heard by counsel againat the Bill. 'rho Earl of VERULAM said he had presented such a petition, thquv,h he disagreed in its prayer. After the e vidence which had been taken, he thought it impossible for the borough to make out a case for itself. The Marquis of ULANRICARDE thought their Lordships were in a position to legislate on the qiesfion without hearing counsel. Lord CAMPBELL thought the parties affected by a Bill of pains and penalties like this had a right to be heard at the bar. Llrd MON ['EAGLE agreed that parties aff-cted by a Bill had a right to be heard against it; but the parties in the present case had been heard, and had been tuund guilty. The Earl of HARROWBY was in favour of hearing the petitioneri at the bar, if th-y desired it, 'rho Dud of WICKLOW said he should be guided by precedent, and emu d vote fur the parties being heard by counsel, if it could be shown that that course had been adooted in similar tsar The Earl of DERBY said, no doubt the petitioners were anxious not to be inclu ltd among those who had been gad!) , of bribery, but there could be no doubt as to the extent of it. It was stated in the report that the bribery was not confined to ;persons of one station, but extended to professional men, tradesmen, and even to persons holding subordinate offices connected with the administration of justice in the borough, and that the exceptions were the clergy of all persuasions, and some of the principal inhabitants. The second reading was then agreed to. Lord REDEiDALE then presented a petition, and moved that leave 13, given to parties affected by this Bill to appear by counsel, as such a course was conformable to preci dent, though he did not think the parties would be disposed to incur the expense. Lord C A NIPBELL would not refuse to support the petition, as the prayer of the petitioners was reasonable and customary, and the Bill itself one of a very stringent character Earl GREY said that House ought not to be bound by narrow or technical rules which obtained in courts of law. It was the duty of that House to do justice on a broad basis irrespective of the practice of other courts. He did not think counsel could advise the House of the course they ought to pursue, nor did he think it was consistent with the dignity of that House to call counsel to the bar in order to induce them by arguments to alter their opinion on fac.s, and to influence their decision. The Earl of DERBY did not think, if leave were given, that counsel would appear, on account of the ex pense, and even if they did appear, he doubted whether they would have any effect on the proceedings or de cisions of their Lordships. He should. however, sup port the motion, because the case of Sudbury was a pre cedent, and it would be advisable not to deprive fedi v;duals of what they might consider an advantage. L MONTE AGLE said it this had been a sing le case he for one would have been ready t o hear counsel, but the case was but too common. The precedent of Sudbury had been adduced, but it was for their Lord ships to decide whether that was a usetul and a whole some precedent to follow. lle thought, therefore, the coun.el ought not to be heard. L vd BE 1U I , ION r denied there had been any cial inquiry into the case. There had only been a com mission to report to that Rouse, winch was, in fact, the judicial tribunal. Th e parties had not been heard in their defeec 4 , and now was the time tohear them. I . f the House refused to h ear c,)unsel, he asserted their Lordships would do a monstrous injustice, and would act dinrently to every other tribunal in the country.

Mr. MILNEE G-IIISON hriught under the notice of the House the policy of driving rev.-sue from taxes up in knowledge, for the purpose of moving, in separate resolutions—,hat such financial arrangements ought to be made as would enable Parliament to dispense with the duty on paper; that the newspaper s c a mp ought to be abolished; and that the tax on advertisements ought to be ' repealed. The Honourable M. mber said that on bringing forward a motion fur the repeal of any portion of taxation an independ'nt Member laboured under considi rable difficulty, inasmuch as it might be considered that he was yi. )ding t ) a clamour out of doors agains paying any taxation. He admitted there were persons who wore rather indiactiminatieg in the course they took with re . gard to the repeal of taxes, but he for one had avoidod supporting auy motion for the repeal of taxes without having satisfied himself of the gr 'our's on which it pro carded. He hoped, therefore, that he might be unerditterriettitvit;ds. as bringing for ward his motionori grouuds of public p u l ley and in reference to the character of a tax and its effect's on the morals of the nation, rath a e l l s th to an et t ic h o e u i n ff tT , in increasing the price of the article taxed. another difficulty which he bad were sometimes told, after the financialtoer s t t i a , te h e m i r t . e u n g T t thhhearyd itbewcoauuside w been ard (fl e a d motion''' that i f t o r wouldthe be repeal itri p r gweemreeniktostnethimadea tLoldtathili: and the then be improper to propose such a i mution until the th c e o fi m n p a le n t e e i d al ; been presenter) to the House.

Neither could he permit this to be tr ea t e d as a ptrty quest i on . When his proposa l was submitted to Parliament, two years ago, it was cup ported by gentlemen of all political views. It was supported by no less than tour distinguished members of her Msjesty'a present Government. His first motion had reference to the repeal of the paper duties. Ile did not propose asking Members to agree to a large reduction of taxation, end he had put his motions separately in order tha t Members might, on sup p or ting one, not necessarily pl. dge theirksols,s to the principle of the others. With regard to the first motion, he only asked the House to agree to the recommendations of the resolutions which had been passed by one of its own Committees in 1834, when the revenue of the country was in a much less satisfactory state. That Committee resolved that the duty on paper, in °lnjunction with the other two duties ought, on co o la d l as well the s a gen izs a t l commer cialpossible grounds, be rep dupes:-,i(ileitr, kw) lIIS EllOtical wito iimply I , . !het the duty on piper euent net to be gentile*" 59 pert o f our permeneut*syse.lll of texatein The Excise regulation s coutiected with the manufacture of paper were in at oripaesAve end vi x repels; yr t thee" v.iore not sufficient t o protect t h e h onest Lit emu. the fraudulen t manufacturer.
