TITESDA.Y. JULY 27, 1852. anythin g Scarcely - .n .--.4D remains to be learnt i n re ference to the Ge ßera t r l constituency in Scotland, and Orkney is th e on l y Donegal in Ir e l an d , f ro m which we still await intelligence as to the candi. dates elected as represontat t i i, v e es. ll Three out of the 654 Members constituting hos been disfranchised°llBeof Commons bei as well (noW that St. Albans cribed upon as Sudbury) alone remain to nominated to the catalogue of politicians recently the what Legislature. Lower House of the Imperiall t is already manifest, therefore ) i n position the various parties will be in regard to each other on the asse mbling of th e new Parliament. October e scarcely render their position more comprehensible than it is at present, in height of midsummer. Ac. cording toe very rational calculation, the Cabinet has secured to itself somewhere about ten or twelve below three hundred. —whereas ten or twelve above three hundred have been obtained by th e Opposition. This is remarkable, as the most recent estimate made, and singularly enough it accords with th a t advanced by ourselves before the final return had been received from the counties of England or frorn the boroughs and counties conjointly of Ireland. It leav es a clear majority of about twenty or four-and-tw enty eJss TY's Government. Tto the opponents o f her It i:, of course, exclu des a doubtful clust er of fro m fifty to sixty "doubtful" Members—otherwise designated as Peelites or Liberal C ons ervatives. What the cours eo be assumed by this section of the House is likely t long matter of uncertain t y . Fro m th e first moment it i cannot rem ain can be readily conjectured , There is 14 more easily I TIIE traceable affinity between these occupants of the cross benches ani 1 the occupants of the benches of the Opp )sition tb an between the former representa tives and the strenuous upholders of the DERBY Adrairdatration.. Upon the one great question of the dey—the quest ion upon which Ministers originally entered office- —One dominant and absorbing ques ti sn of Free Trade—the Liberal Conserve -1 lives are identical in their sympathies with the leading r nen of the Opposition. Upon tire yet more remarkable questions of reform in re ference to the organization of Parliament, and the 1 extension of the franchise, and the better distribution of electoral districts, the Peelites are more intimately associated wis.h the ultra-Liberals cf the Opposition dlan with the ultra-Conservatives of the Administra tier. Whatever may be the result of the delibera: lions now going forward in the camp of the " Doubt fuls"—there can be little hesitation on their part, when the " tug of war" commences, as to whether their votes shall be given to the mea sures of the Cabinet or to the measures of the banded foes of the Government. Foremost among the difficulties of the Opposition is obviously that of its divided leadership. Never theless, while in this particular there are discoverable the provecatives of divisions among the anti-Minis terielists—a similar source, first of confusion and aub- SEquently of disnendment, may be discerned in the reeks not so much of the Mauls , erialisrps themselves, as of the very members of the Administration. An extraordi nary variety of subjects might be enumerated in re gard to which the different members of the Cabinet are diametrically opeoeed to each other upon prin ciple. Insomuch has this proved the case ever since February, that the leaders of the Government have delayed the necessity of clearly defining their dpo li c y from time to time by a series ofn t e n adroit and singular l y ingenious postpone ments.id It was maintained by them to this end, for example, that the Cabinet would re frain from speaking out plainly and with any degree of generally satioactory explicitness until such time as the country had pronounced its decision, either in the negative or in the. affirmative, as to the continued existence of the DERBY Govern ment. As if the necessity for a Ministerial expla nation were no greater before than after any such national demonstration ! As if ;,he patriotic course could be other than a candid avowal of the views of the Ministry prior to the dissolution cf the Parliament ! As if common justice did not require that the appeal to the country should be preceded by the announcement of the views entertained by the councils of the Govern ment ! But no—in the silence preserved in this emergency by Lord DERBY, his prudence and not his patriotism was implicated. He could not by any possibility have framed a Ministerial document an nouncing their intentions, upon which be purposed to carry on the affairs of the Administration, without instantly scattering confusion amongst the other wise apparently compact body of his colleagues. In this respect the Cabinet has been situated as a man is situated who is labouring under the affliction of mo nomania. Talk to him upon the ordinary business of life and he is agreeable enough, and rational enough for practical purposes. But whisper a word about the themes upon which he happens to be dazed, and there are speedily evidenced the most irre , fragable testimonies that the silver chord is frayed 1 and jarring, if it be not altogether loosened, and that the golden bowl is cracked, if not irreparably broken. So with the Cabinet. It maintains a decent appearance so long as the routine business of administration is all that is required to be accomplished by its members ; but so soon as it be compelled to define, with something like accuracy, the nature of the principles upon Wbich it builds up the scheme of the new Government, so soon will the signs of its inherent incongruity become visible. The Op position will then appear a compact and cor dially united body, when compared with the divided views and interests of the Administra tion. The Opposition, thereupon, will not only appear, it will actually become " compact and united" in the hope of destroying the energies of a tottering and hesitating Government. It is with these confident anticipations that we look forward with eagerness to the first assembling of the new Par liament. Daring the brief session of the ensuing autumn it is possible, no doubt, that the Ministry may gain their Ligny—but after Ligny, in the more 'ormidable session of 1853, comes Waterloo! All honour to Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS I Al though firmly convinced of the propriety and justice of the rule which he bad established, " not to admit any insolvent to bail who had accommodation bills or liabilities for other: persons on his schedule," he has bowed to the decision of his brother Commis sioners in order to obtain an uniformity of proce dure in all such matters. This is as it should be. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, by so doing, h a s made no inconsiderable addition to the many valuable services which he has rendered to the community. It requires no ordinary amount of moral courage to ac knowledge a fault, but th ere is a still hi g her q ual ity , a readiness to yield in a matter where you are st i ll satisfied of the correctnes s of y our own views, a nd the beneficial results that wo uld attend their general adoption. There is a for bearance in the act de serving the highest approbation, and which we have n o d ou b t will be generally appreciated. Although we differed from the Lea rned Gentleman on the propriety of the regulation, we fre e ly an d willingly admit the fearful extent of the nuisance which it was intended to abate ; most justly and truly it was designated as t. a desolating system"— a desperate expedient of propp in g up a tottering credit with delusive paper. Anything th a t cou ld even mitigate, if it could not alto gether abolidi, the glaring gtievance, would be exceedingly valuable, not only to the parties who are defrauded by means of such acceptances, but even more so to the un thinking end luckless young men, who seal their own ruin the moment they become parties to such trans actions. It w a s w ith the hope of inflicting a heavy blow and a great discouragement to the entire system, of checking the "fatal facility" which has lured and will still l ure aa many victims to the eecrifice, that the re gulation was acloptt-d and propagated. In that respect the mo • tile was unimpeachable, and we could scarcely object to a n y means that could achieve the great de sideratu m. Bet, as we have already stated, we do not believe that it would have the intended effect; first, because it would have been only partial in its operation, and secondly, because it would add to the number of the tempters, by giving additional secu rity to their demands. Men who become involved in such transactions seldom contemplate insolvency. They a re still disposed to hope against hop e , to believetothtahte so me almost miraculous occurrence will lead liquidation of the liability. The ho pe may appear perfectly absurd to any 'prudent and reflecting m i n d, but it is indulged in ; and, we are thoroughly con. vinced that the only way of diminishing the evil--it can never be wholly eradicated —is to direct all the powers of the tribunal against the creditors in place of the debtors, unices the former can come into court with perfectly clean hands, and show that their con duct in the transaction has been entirely blameless. There will always be borrowers if lenders can be met with. The latter are generally of prudent and calculating dispositions, they charge sufficient to become their own insurers, and to provide amply against any possible loss. But if satisfied that the victim must undergo a lengthened imprisonment, either by way of a remand or by the refusal of bail , they will con s i,l er i t enter more freely into such transaction. as an additional guarantee and There is a wide difference between di ff erent classes of accommodation bills. through a desire A ' father may ' become in volvedrum, or a son to rescue hie par en t. his child t c h h e ild par f ty ro t m o whom the security is given be teaar of the transa c tion he canno t b e ou i e nju a r f ed t , he n n or at c u a r n e he ejustly complaim of the the debtor , who may have been influenced conduct of his highest and purest feelings and ghby there principles. although Again, th ere may b e cases w h ere, no such e x t enuat i ng c i rcumstances, there is a re deception, the yet no creditor being p e f ect l y nognizmit of of the all the circumst ances transaction. There un questionably is a grievance, bat both parties are in fault, both are worthy of punishment, but which will best serve as an example to deter others from of fending in like manner. We do not, of course, allude to commercial bills, which should be treated in a totally different SUN, LONDON, way, but in those where professional money lenders are concerned, we, believe that the object which the Commissioners are desi rous of achi(ving would be best advanced by reversing their former rule, and not only admitting to bail, bu discharging from custody every person against whom no more serious charge can be pre ferred than that he has become a party to accommo dation bills. The magistrates at Derby, after a careful investi gation into the charges against THOMAS MonGAN— e a bricklayerleco imported from Shr ews b ury d ur i ng t h e recentn at Derby—ha ve b oun d hi m over t o t appear in due season. The charge is a very serious one—tbat of actually bribing certain electors, and it is alleged that he, in 60, was caught in the very act. Tie particulars of the case are interesting, and may be briefly stated. In the ancient town of Shrewsbury there resides a hair-drasser and barber named JOHN FRAIL, who also is "clerk of the course" at tl'e rcca there. This person has been "concerned," for many years past, in most of th e con t es t e d e l ec ti ons i n an d near t o th e county of Salop. It may be recollected that his name was brought into public notice at the Ludlow election inquiry in 1839-40. Although a man of very scanty education, of profession not very exalted, and of appearance not very inviting, FRAIL has been so fortunate (by reason of his election con nexions and tactics) to be on a fooing of some inti macy with political personages in his own neighbour hood, and his fame having reached London, it is said that he has got into correspondence with certain eminent members of the Carlton Club—that famous purity-of-election confederation ! On Thursday, on the inquiry at Derby, was pro duced an envelope, bearing the seal of the Carlton Club, addressed to " Mr. JOHN FRAIL, Clerk of the Course, Shrewsbury," and containing the following letter : " A good and safe man with judgment and quickness is wanted immediately at Derby. I suppose that yen cannot, leave your own place—if not, send one whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to Derby On receiving this, and find the Ccunty Tavern in the centre of the town. Send his card to Cox, Brothers, and Co. lead works—as coming from Chester. Thet enough.—Yours, " W. B. " Motday " Mr. Jour/ KEOGH (bnAber to the excellent and distinguished Member for Athlone) was examined at Derby, and stated—" I reside at 85, King Wl:liana street, London-bridge. I am now out of business- I was thesecretary of the Reading and Reigate Rail way Company. Major Was. BERESFORD, the present Secretary at War, was the chairman of the board of directors. Major BERESFORD is a member of the Carlton Club ; he is the wutleman who sat for a di vision of the county of Essex, and who has been again returned for that division. I have bad frequent opportunities of seeing Major BERESFORD'S hand writing. The whole of the letter now produced is in the handwriting of Major BERESFORD. The direction on the envelope is also his writing." This, we rather think, fixes the authorship cf the FRAIL epistle on Major BERESFORD, Of " rabble" celebrity, who holds a public situation in the Ministry as Secretary at War, and has another appointment qu ite as ostensible as" Tory whipper-in:' It would seem that the Salopian friseur was unable to comply with the urgent request of the Carlton Club " polite letter-writer." FRAIL did NOT go to Darby. Somebody else went--for, on the polling.. day, THOMAS MORGAN was caught i n a back room at the County Tavern, with gold and notes in his posses sion to the value of some hundreds. The man thus rejoicing in this plethora of cash is—a bricklayer ! But, in all likelihood, be was the " good and safe man with judgment and quickness," whom W. B. " wanted immediately at Derby." It appeared, from the evidence, that Police-sergeant FEARN, of Derby, apprehended MORGAN, on the Bth inst., having got into his room by using certain pass words which had been confided to him—we presume, by some one who had " split ;" that he found the money on his person; that be also found a card in scribed "Mr. T. MORGAN, Chester;" that, the next day, the prisoner said— " His name was Thomas Morgan; but that he did not come from Cheater. The reason why he put Chester upon the card was because Frail wished him to do so. He then said that ho came to Derby on Tuesday ; that Frail sent for him, and said he wanted him to come to Derby to the elecion; and he (Frail) gave him the letter, and that he came direct to the C,:unty Tavern according to his instructions. That when he got there he sent his card to Cox, Brothers, and Co., at the lead works; that he did net know them at all, and, thoreforo, did not know if he had ever seen them. That nobody came to him for two days. He said the gold in the bags was no mere his than mine. The louse gold was his. One bag of gold was brought to him over night at the County Tavern, and the other bag of gold and the notes on the ' following morning. They were given to him in a dark room, but he did not think he should be able to identify' the man who brought them. Ile also told m e th a t h e was to wait in the room and pay the money to persons who brought cheques; which he did, and en t ere d it in the book with the numbs r 3. As he was a stranger here he did not know whether they were elector s ornot." On the Bth the prisoner was remanded, but on his way back to the lock-up a letter was written for him at his dictation (the " good and safe man" is pro nSatlmreewdsbTurlysn:Awnne u in nde s r h s r ta e n w d sb tb n e r r y e , bably not much of a r.cribe), direct e d t o T ISDALE , Ebi is I t ' c n e l‘ r i t °a a uu i certainly en n ie o des t r' any Esquire so named. MORGAN was very communicative to the police-officer, and (to quote the very words)— ~ tie then repeated to me, that Frail had sent him to Derby; he said he thought he was coming to Derby to be u poll-clerk; if ho had known that they had wanted him for the job ho was come for he would have seen them d—d before he had come; ho said ho was tic tirnifed. I then said to Mellor, Why, that letter has no post-mark upon it.' The prisoner said, But tilers's the seal, that has not been breker.' 'I said, the letter has been opened; he seid, ' The seal bag not bean broken, and the crest is upon it, and that will tell where it came from: He said the money was not his, but that as it was given to him he should claim it. Ile said, that many a man fixed as be was would have gone off with the money. He told me lie was a bricklayer, and came from Shrewsbury. He said there were three newspapers in Shrewsbury; one would expos) him,_ and the other two would try to smother it up, Ile said, there was a new law for bribery, but be did not know what it was; he said he expected they would make a witness of him, end he should speak the truth. He said, the figures in the book was the amount of money that he had paid, and the numbers; that if we had not found the book we should have been bothered. He said, the figures were iu his handwriting." A voter named SHARROCS proved that he had voted for floasFam, the Tory candidate, on a pro mise of Two Pounds—that he then went up-stairs to a bauk•room in the County Tavern, 'where (he says) —"I found a man at the top of the stairs; he allowed the stoutish man to pass by him into a room at the top of the stairs, but he would not allow me to pass. The stoutish man remained in the room two or three minutes, when he came out again, and called me up to the door, and putting his hand on my shoulder, turned me round with my back towards the door, the stoutish man put my right hand behind me, the door was opened, and some one in the room put two sove reigns in my hand. I was not allowed to see the person who put the sovereigns in my band ; the per son inside the room shut the door, and I went down stairs." The room at the door of which SumutocK received the two pounds was that in which MORGAN was apprehended. As to the facts there can be no doubt. The pay ment to S IIAR R OCS i s mar k e d off in the briber's book, and th e b r ib er (who scorned to think that h i s Salopian employer had led him into jeopardy) has admitted th e t ruth of the evidence adduced. He promised, in his fright, that lie would tell the truth. He may, if ever produced before a Parliamentary Com mittee. But is it probable that this MORGAN will be allowed to remain in England ? He is personally bound in 3001. for his appearance, with two sureties in 1501. each. Can any reasonable man expect that he will appear? The amount of bail is insufficient. The Carlton Club correspondents can readily pay the amount, and allow 2loaoas; to retire to Boulogne, as r F e n n A I r L o , ut vi e e to e t b lie ervi'' has arrived in Continent we know not. L ED: d A on n_ns w d h i e d t . he _• _ ---- The part which Major Bunrsponn is said to have taken in the transaction indicates Fuel intense folly that we really can scarcely imagine how that astute and acute tactician could have been so concerned. It is for him to rebut, promptly and publicly, the heavy implication against him. In a light, flimsy, and weak manner, he has given a sort of denial to the charge. This was in a speech at Braintree.

TWO O'CLOCK. Th e Bales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12000 bales, of which 1,0 0 0 American were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The market was very active at advanced prices; Surat and American wore id. higher. The sales comprised about 10,750 American, 70 Pernam and Maranham at 63d., 200 Bahia at 6d., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to 11d., and 500 Surat at 30. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. ' The Indigo sales to-day have gone rather heavily. Upon the prospects of the Currant crop in Greece we have the following particulars from Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:— "Currants, almost the only article in the colonial market which had not participated in the late general reaction, have at length taken a start, and during the last three weeks have outstripped all other commodities in their sudden augmentation of value. This has re sulted from intelligence of the crop, both in the Morels and the lonian Islands, having been attacked by a disease of a novel and so destructive a character as to cause serious apprehensions as to the fate of the grow ing crop—a disease akin to that which exhibited itself last year in oiler countries, and is now committing ravaees in the vineyards of Sicily, N a ples, and Northern Italy. As on the issue of the Currant crop depends not only the well-being of a large C0M131116. pity, but also much of the revenue of the Greek Go vernment, this fresh calamity so soon following the rain damaged crop of 1850 and the losses from the low prices of the present season, cannot bat excite a feeling of sympathy. The accounts from the places of growth nearly ail concur in the opinion that over half of t he entire crop of the Morea and lonian Islands will have been lost. It must not be concealed, moreover, that, es this season will undoubtedly he a late cue, there may be a recurrence of the rain-damage of 1850, and this apprehension is now giving a fresh stimulus to Currants on the continent, and driving up prices above the level of our own." There are accounts from Vienna which give the Austrian revenue during 1851 at 223,252,038 florins, and , the expenditure at 278,420,470 florins. Idle Stock Markets abroad were very steady at the latest date. Tee proprietors of the Commercial B a nk of London, at their meeting this morning, have received a very favourable report. The year's profits are stated at 21,3eg1. up to the 30th ult., and a dividend at Cee rate of 6 per cent. per annum, with a bonus o f Bs. p er share, free cf income -tan, was declared, leaving 3,0431. to be added to the reserve fund. The English Funds are very depressed egain, and business is chiefly for actual transfer, spculetion con tinuing inert. Consols have been 100* to 100i1 for Transfer, and 1001- for Account. The New Three -and a Qasrter per Cents, have been quoted 1044 to 1051; and the Three per Cents. 1008 to 101*, a decline in each instance. Bank Stock is still rising, having touched 2301 and 232.

"My Lord,—At a meeting of the committee held this day, which was summoned in consequence of your Lord ship being in London, I was directed to write to your Lordship, to express the high sense they entertain of the most efficient services rendered by your Lordship to the bondhelders in the late negotiation with the Spanish Government, for a settlement of their claims. The committee are quite aware that all the success your Lordship desired, and most certainly deserved, did not attend the great exertions your Lordship made on their behalf ; nevertheless the committee and their constituents, the bondholders, can never sufficiently appreciate the zeal with which Your Lordship applied yourselt to enforce a due sense of their rights. " The committee wish me to ascertain from your Lordship whether it would be agreeable to receive a deputation from them, to express verbally to your Lordship their gratitude for the past services your Lord 'hip has rendered to the bondholders, nod also to re quest, if opportunity offer, your further aid may be given to any endeavour which may be made to obtain a recognition of the certificates issued by the various com mittees for the portions of arrears of dividends not funded by the Spanish Government. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, "Your Lordship's moat obedient humble servant, J. S. COLLETT, Secretary." Lord Howden's reply is as follows: " Hereford-street, July 25, 1852. "Sir,—Having come to-day to Loudon, I had the honour of finding your most kind letter. The circum stance of my not having been in town, will excuee me for not having instantly answered it. "I feel greatly flattered, and accordingly pleased at the expression of regard contained in the communication which I am now answering, but I feel that any exertions I have been happy enough to make in the cause of th e bondholders have been greatly overpaid by their kind ness already manifested to me, in various ways an d on different occasions. I, therefore, gratefully an d re _ me , though at the same tim e , I am Te c tf u lly decline giving any g entlem an the trouble of m yself of this opportunity to faithf u lly bi n d g ea la ll d ia to g a u v p ai o ll:l myself to a continuance of every endeavour that it shall ever be in my power to make in favour of the much ill-used body of Spanish bondholders, and they may depend upon me at all times as their willing and anxious supporter. All o w me to thank you, Sir, with w h om I h ave had so much correspondence personally, for the courtesy I have always met at your hands, and to subscribe myself, with great truth and regard, very faithful servant.

The clearance:-; from the port of London for the gold colonies of Australia during the past week have been large. They consisted of seven vessels to Port Philip, of an aggregate capacity of 4,290 tons, and one to Geelong (in ballast) o f 33 1 tons. There was also one vessel for Ade laide, of 333 tons, besides two for Van Diemen's Land, of a joint capacity of 940 tons.• Spirits and wines continue to be freely shipped. but the proportion of other goods has not been relatively large. The two vessels to Van Diemen's Land, however, took considerable cargoes. Tho total num ber of passengers has not been ascertained, but it is supposed to have been nearly 1,090. The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces daring the past week are all satisfactory. At Manchester the general course of business has continued to show much steadiness, and, in consequence of the state of the Liverpool cotton market, there has been a tendency to higher prices. At Birmingham both the home and foreign orders have been good, the demand for Australia also being particularly large.

In the woollen districts there has been no alteration of importance. From Nottingham the reports show that the recent improvement in the lace trade has been strongly maintained, while for hosiery there hasbeen an aug mented demand both for home use and for exportation to Australia.

And, nevertheless, who will dare to say that Thiers is a complete statesman ?
