IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, June 24. BENNET'S DIVORCE. MOUNTCASHELL mevect the second reading of 1 3d1, the consideration et which, it will be remem be • 1, was postponed eine die. The Noble Lord entered • insiderable length thee the circumstances of this case, which were reported in our columns at the time they were given at the bar of their Lordships' House. The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the motion. The Noble Lord had introduced matters not upon the evidence taken at the bar, and he bad been guilty of the greet irregularity of referring to a speech asserted to be deitetersd by him (the Lord Chancellor) at the conclu sion of the case. In vindication of the justice of their Lenelahip's house, he (the Lord Chancellor), as wholly responsible for the circumstance of the second reading not having taken place, then entered into a detail of the whole case. He moved the Bill should be read a second time that day three months. Lord 'BROUGHAM had entire confidence in the judgmerat of his Noble and Learned Friend; but he called upon the House to reflect upon the most anaoma lous course taken in respect to D.vorce Bilis in Parha m-en t, not one of their Lordships having heard a single word of the evidence, though they were called upon to ureie a decision upon it. Afrer a few words from the Earl of MOUNT CASHELL, The amendment was agreed to, and the Bill was or dered to be read a second time that day three mouths. STANDING ORDERS. The Marquis Of CLANRICAIIDE then proceeded to r call the'attentien of the House to the standing No. 185, with a vies to the modification of theprovi sions thereof in respect of Bills to be brought into Par liament in any future session. The order it imp impossible o uestion was the " Wharncliffe" order, and rendered nt of railways to effect any change in the m without the expense of an Act of enies. The effect Parliament.""g"ne This was a great hardship upon the railway companies. of the order was to enable large companies to prevent scheme of competition to the Orders . Parliament from considering any He proposed to refer the order . propriety of Committee, with a view of considering the Standing reducing the majority of shareholders now required to Parliament f rom four-fifths to sanction an application to three-fifths. said the object of the order was Lord REDESD ALE to protect the sharoholdera from the dir ec t ors o f com panies, and if it ha d been f ound to act oppressively, there would have been more than the single case of the Shrewsbuey and Chester and Shrewsbury and Birming ham Companies to cite. He knew in-tances in which the proportion of four-fifths had prevented injury being done. As to the suggestion that the shareholders betore voting should have had their shares fur a certain and definite time, he thought it a valuable one; and with re spect to the proposition of the N able Mirquis he thought it better to refer the order to the consideration of a less numerous Committee than the Committee on Standing Orders, andany if alterations were made in the present regulations, it should be done on the fullest and most impartial inquiry. leird HA: MERTON observed that the proportion of four.fifths appeared to have been adopted by the Com mittee without any grounds being stated for that course, and he was surprised that he had heard no grounds stated by the Noble Lord (Redesdale) for its adoption. With reference to the specific ease which had given rise to the discussion of the matter on a late occasion, be thought it hard that the ironmasters of Staffordshire had no means of direct communication with the coast by railway. It was only by competition between the various railway companies that that could be effected, and if this order operated to prevent the establishment of that competition, he thought a modification of it, upon that and upon general grounds ought to be adopted. Ho had no objection to three-fifths being the majority instead of four-fifths. The Earl of STRADBROKE thought that three fourths would be a fair majority. The Earl of HARRO WRY thought it advisable that the standing order should be maintained, for the pur pose of preventing the interests of the great body of the shareholders from being sacrificed to the jobbing of directors. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE urged upon the House the necessity of protecting the interest of the public. Upon the subject of amalgamation, that was a question upon which it was most important that their Lordships should be able to pronounce an unfettered opinion, re gard being had to the merits of the case. It was not to be determined by the particular interests of small com panies, liable to be influenced in the various ways their Lordships had heard described. But when the question arose between two great and powerful companies, he though they should look at it on public principle, and see which of these companies was the most likely, with reference to all the local circumstances, to become an amalgamated body the most useful in providing for the wants of the public. Now, he thought that if minori ties were allowed to settle these questions—and minori ties might be tyrants as well as majorities—their Lord ships might find themselves in this position, that with the strongest possible public case in favour of certain companies to provide for a great line of communication, they would be debarred from entering into its considera tion by small companies stepping in and availed them selves of the order of the House, and saying to their Lordships that they could not and should not consent to the amalgamation. Earl GRANVILLE was of opinion that the House was quite prepared to entertain the question without referring it. Lord BROUGHAM said that the question ought to be referred, and that that should have been done three years ago. Lord LYNDHURST said there could be no doubt that legislation upon this subject was in a most unsatis factory state, The railway which had given rise to the question was one of the utmost importance to the inte rests of the country, and it was altogether monstrous that those interests should be defeated by combinations amongst snaellr companies. He admitted that the re cent decision of the Standing Orders Committee was correct, and that th,_Te was no sufficient evidence to es tablish the charge which had been alleged against the company on that occasion; but it did certainly appear in the evidence before the Standing Orders Committee that on a previous occasion shares were ostensibly pur chased by, and registered in the names of, the servants of the company, for the accomplishment of a particular object, and he did not know what reason there was to suppose that the same contrivance had not been resorted to in the present instance. To prevent the recurrence of such a circumstance, he was convinced that the best step would be for their Lordships to reduce the proportion of the majority of votes from four-fifths to three-fifths. The Earl of DERBY preferred sending the question . to the Standing Orders Committee to taking any hasty Step with regard to it a t th e p resen t mom e n t. He w a s no t at ail satisfied that the best or most eff'ctual mode of fifths with it woull be to fix the majority at three- Zn r tt or four -fifths.- But he thought it would be a point iir) %` t nV consideration by the Committee whether the shares -etuel step would not be to require that the • of all certain sty. persona who voted should be held for a thought aid before their votes were given.

Ho thought it would be most unjust if compen sation were not awarded t o t h e junior clerks also, in respect to such fees, inasmuch as under the existing sybteill they would be entitled to o ccupy the offices of the senior clerks, and of course to receive such fees in the event of vacancies occurring. He had therefore prepared a pro viso to effecr that object. The Le;RD CHANCELLOR, having made some ob jection no such a proviso being added to the clause, at a )striod of the session w h en it wou ld b e i mpossible to pass 11 e B'',ll if the other House of Parliament should dissent frond the amendment. Lord LYNDHURST said that he, for one, could fever assent to what he considered was injustice, in de fierenca to the will of the House of Commons. • The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Bill was not theirs, bat that of the late Government.. The House that Rouse , had kept it so late before it came up to tionse, that, it was impossible to make such an al teration in it as was proposed, without risking its tet,safety p resen t session. Now, he thought the Bill, in its main featurea,a most excellent measure, and he would be very sorr y LYNDHURST to risk it by making any alterations in it. facts connected ila v y t ßST said there were some curious report of o,,iuul t i n tt this Bill.

He would not agree to pass a mea nt:a into a law which in his opinion involved • - a principle c , f injustice. The question was then put, and (as we understood) the proviso was negatived without a division. The Bill then passed through Committee.

HEREDITARY C A.SUAr REVENUES IN THE • i COLONIES BILL. ()a the motion that this Bid be ia -A a third time, The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he Was not alto gether satisfied with the Noble Earl's explanation of this measure. He wished particalhrly to have some explana tion of the second claus e providing for appropriating the surpins arising from the sale of waste lands. As tar as he understood the principle of the Bill, he thought that the Government had acted most wisely in reference to the waste lands and mines. The Earl of DERBY said that the Bill was framed because they consideration had with the view of removing som e doubts that exist ed in reference to the legal appropriation of those r evenues, arising out of the sale onfdwwasetree lands,give n in been hitherto considere d p art of the here ditary re venues of the Crown, a of the civil list, which was appropriated by Parliament. It was now intended by this Bill to give to the colonies the profits arising out of the sale of the waste lands and any mineral treasures of the colonies, instead of leaving them to be appropriated by Parliament. i n reply to an observation from the Duke of NEW teTchoensEidterrleodtfilDaatEpmßeirgß7Y3tns,ae C ASTLE, vn id itsa t o h n rt ei t nt t h h ta i h s tow ns u a ci s tj u ilo r m e nie c ee o st u . l e d ve n cr o yf t c c° o n ur ti s n o g' a ne n Y ew arrangement must be made if the re venues of those colonies should hereafter be such as to require it. The Bill wan then read a third time and passed. The Turtnike Acts Continuance Bill and the Poor law Board Continuance Bill, the Inland Revenue Office Bill, and the SAvings Backs (Ireland) Bill, were seve rally read a second time. WATER SUPPLY BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY trusted that this Bill ' would not preclude the introduction of some other mea sure, having for its object the supply of purer water to the metropolis. The Earl of DERBY said the only alternative was to pass or reject the present Bill. He admitted the subject had not been folly considered, but still the only course left open to the Government, was to propose the pre sent miasure or postpone legislation. If the measure were rejected for another year, most likely the public would be found is the same disadvantageous position in which they were at present. But there was undoubtedly this merit in the Bill, that it pro vided a purer supply of water to the people of the metropolis than was at this moment within their reach. Lord CAMPBELL expressed a hope that the Govern ment would apply their attention to the general subject of a water supply to the public. The subject had hi therto been much neglected, but he did not charge that neglect on one Government more than ancther. Be hould much like to see measures of this kind originated in their Lordships' douse. Tate Bill was then read a second time. On the motion of Lord COLCHESTER, the Thames Embankment Bill was read a sc:ci,nd time. The Earl of DONOUGUMORE presented a petition from Dr. De Ryshere, complaining of the manner in which his estate was sold in the Irish Encumbered Es tates Court, and moved for a return of the petition, affi davits, orders, rental, and particulars of sale, and all other documents recorded in the Irish Encumbered Estates Courts relating to the sale of the estate of Dr. De Ry shere. The petition prayed that the case might be re ferred to a Select Committee of their Lordships' House. Their Lordships then adjourned. ourtb laVition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. tiVIPERIAL PA RLIAMEN (THIS DAY.) ROUSE OF LORDS; The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. LEGAL EDUCATION. Lord LYNDLIURST asked the Chief Justice whether he was satisfied with the present state of legal education? Lord CAMPBELL said he thought the state of legal educaion had hitherto been very disgracrful, but re cently steps had been taken to place this in a much better condition, and he hoped that these improvements would be carried much further. Lord BROUGHAM said that, as a bencher of Lin coln's Inn, he wished to say that he thought it was the desire of his brother benchers to carry tne improvements lately adopted much further. For his own part, he thought the degrees sought to be conferred ought to be the result of compulsory examination. Earl GRANVILLE brought up the report of the Select Committee on the mode of Printing the Papers and Proceedings of the House, and made several sug gestions, the nature of which did not reach the gallery. A short conversation ensued, in which Lord Redes dale, Lord Brougham, Lord Monteagle, the Earl of Derby, and Lord Grey took pare. (LEFT SITTING.) TIOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Two o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed to: — Landon Necropolis and National Mausoleum. Lancashire and Yorkshire Rsiiway. Humber Conservancy and Kingston-upon-Hull Docks. Oxiurd, Worcester, and Wolverht►mpt , .n Railway (Nu. 1). The Birkenhead D Trust, a, Jarvis's Cnarity Es tate, and Thornhill's Estate Bills were read a third time and passed. ABERDEEN BOYS' AND GIRLS' HOSPITALS BILL. On the motion that the Lords' amendments be consi dered and agreed to, Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the word " Right" be ins,.rted b•fore rend Prelate, " Right Reverend" being the legal title of a Bishop. The House divided, when there appeared— For the motion ~. ... ••• 64 Against it 15 jority —49 Mr. GLADSTONE objected to the description of Bishop Skinner as " Episcopal Bishop" of Aberdeen, and he therefore proposed to strike out the word '• Epis copal," and insert in its stead, " Primate of the Episcopal Church in Scotland." This motion was also agreed to, but without a division. PE LITIONS. Mr. MASTERMAN presented a petition from the City against betting offices. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from an in dividual proposing a new plan for improving the sewer age of the metropolis and the water of the Thames, and praying the Howse to inquire into it. BISHOPS IN AUSTRALIA. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to put a question to the Secretary of Sate for the Colonial Department, on the subject involved in the Lord Bishop of Sydney's remon strance, dated May 22, 1850. He wanted to know whether the Roman Catholic Primate in Australia was to be permitted to take precedence of the Bishop of the Established Church. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON was not aware until be entered the. House of what woull be the:exact shape of his Hon. Friend's question, but he was nevertheless pre pared to give it a detailed answer. The House must permit him to refer to the dispatches to which his Hon. Friend's question had reference. The first dispatch was a circular dispatch of Lord Grey, dated the 20th Nov., 1847, and in that dispatch these words occur:—" As Parliament by a recent Act, viz., the Charitable Trusts Act, recognised the titles of Roman Catholic prelates, and virtually directed that the Roman Catholic Arch bishop shall take rank with the Protestant Archbishop, the Governor is instructed hereafter to address the Roman Catholic archbishop or bishop by the title of Your Grace' or 'Your Lordship,' as the case may be." Some misapprehension arose in the colony as to the construction to be planed upon this passage, as the pre mises did not justity the conclusion. It was thought that, according to this passage, Archbishop Cole had precedence over the Bishop of New Zealand, and a dispatch was forwarded from the colony to that effect. On the 9th November, 1849, Lord Grey sent another dispatch on the subject, in which he stated that he looked upon the Bishop of Sydney as a metropolitan, and there fore he considered that the Right Rev. Prelate took pre ctdence of the Roman Catholic Archbishop. Then tol . b owed the remonstrance of the Bi s h o p of Sydney re terre. Al to bv his lion. Friend, which was received at the C • , c.b ° l, l ?n n ia_l•office on . the . 4th of January, 1851, and which wetr entitled the bishops of the Established Church catZ by law to take precedence of all the Roman rew tt C.p u relates and primates. That remonstrance still Ws a tttn g tio n_aeswered; . but he intended shortly to give intheenctutloo,4l:oto the subj-ct, and to send a dispatch to oi t i ttounicattng the views which the Govern p do oc Anr.c. or 0 I lime ho roc S o.fni h )t tt. o hi I: itlea e , ai d a iw t ei h d: a h. it t t id hiss precedence .. li IRLwi g ihs h i, t e h II t o h n e .

THE CAPE. Mr, ADDERLEY wished to ask the Secretary of State for the C lorries it recent information from the Cape of Good Hope represented General Cathcart's policy to be that of driving the Gaikas over the Kei upon the tribes beyond, and occupying their vacated territory; and if so, what prospects there may seem to be of any remote termination of the war? Sir J. PAKINGTON said that he had to state that the last dispatch received from General Cathcart, which was the first the General had forwarded since his arrival at the seat of war, did announce to the Government that he had made public in the colony his intention to drive the Gaikas across the Kei, but the Government did not regard that announcement as one which was in tended to be put in force. It was looked upon as a threat which General Cathcart had thought necessary for the purpose of bringing the war to a speedy termination. In answer to the latter part of his Hon. Friend's question, as to whether there was any prospect of a termination of the war, ho had only to state that General Cathcart'e dispatch did give hopes of such a result. METROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL. The House astir into Committee on this Bill. In reply to Lord EBRING CON, Lord J. MANNERS said it was the intention of the Government to oppose any proviso to prevent closed private burial-grounds being used for building purposes. On clause 2, Lord EBRINGTON moved the addition of a proviso to the eff-ct that no dwelling-houses, shops, or ware houses should be erected on burial-grounds in the metropolis in which burials were discontinued by order or the Treason. Lard R. GROSVENOR should be sorry to see closed burial-grounds built on, but thought if the proviso were agreed to the proprietors of the grounds ought to receive compensation. Lord DUi)LEY STUART did not see how it was proviso to pass the proviso without giving compensation. Sir B HALL took the same view of the question. Sir W. CLAY was glad the Noble Lord had done him the honour of taking up the proviso which he had origi nally proposed. He, however, admitted that the proviso without a compensating clause would be a great hard ship to parties, and for that reason he would sugges that the Noble Lord should withdraw it. Sir W. MOLESWORTH opposed, and Mr. B. COCH. RANE supported the proviso. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the proviso ... Against it ... 80 ... -59 Majority ... Clause 2 was then agreed to. The other clauses were then agreed to, the House re turned, and the Bill was read a third time. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (NO. 2) BILL. The Bill was read a third time and passed. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. On the motion of Lord John Russell the Lords' amendments to this Bill were read. Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not say that the Bill had been at all improved in its passage through the other House. The first amendment was that an address for inquiry should be agreed to by both Houses, instead of proceeding from the House of Commons alone. The effect of that amendment would be to render two preliminary inquiries necessary be fore the effectual and real inquiry could be reached.—(Hear, hear.) This he thought would be an obstacle in the way of inquiry. Lord Lansdowne had told him that he was taken by surprise when the amend ' ments were proposed in the House of Lords, but that he did express his disapproval of them, considering, as he (Lord John Russell) did, that they would diminish the efficiency of the Bill. The other amendments ,were not of so much importance. It was true the Lords had de cided that it should not be in the powor of the Commis sioners to make a retrospective inquriry in the event of its not being proved that corrupt practices existed at the election with respect to which the inquiry was to be made. It would appear, at first sight, that if an election took place by compromise all the corrupt practices that had existed for a series of years in the borough would pass without inquiry, but that was not the effect of the Bill as amended. At a general election, for instance, every per son in a borough might be bribed, but if another hap pened in a few weeks afterwards, at which none were bribed, that would not prevent the House inquir ing into the corrupt practices at the general election. He therefore did not think that amendment would be so injurious. The next amendment was the omission of the word " treating" as one of the offences to be in quired into. It should be recollected that this Bill was intended to deal with bribery and corruption, and not treat ing; but still if there was;tl gross case'of treating sufficient to affect an election, the House had the power of proceed. ing by way of a special Bill, as well as by an address. He did not think it unreasonable that the House should retain the power of proceeding by Bill in special cases, for there could bo no doubt that treating in some instances might be as corrupt as bribery. On the whole he considered that this Bill, even as amended, would be a considerable advantage in regard to dealing with corrupt practices and bribery in boroughs. Though lamenting the changes in the Bill, ho should propose to agree to them, believing that it was impro bable, if they rejected the amendments, they would be enabled to restore the Bill to its original state. Sir A. COCKBURN intended to take the same course as the Noble Lord, though he could not help thinking that the amendments were most material ones, and would seriously affect the operation of the Bill. He was astonished at the introduction of thee amendments, inasmuch as the Government in that House had given their cordial co-operation in passing the Bill in its original state. This was another instance of what he might term the duality of the Government, having one leader in the House of Commons, and another in the House of Lord. The Bill passed this House without any important alteration, but when it got to the Lords it was dealt with by the Government in a different spirit, and great alterations introduced. He complained of the second alteration, preventing retrospective inquiry into corrupt practices at elections, observing that inn!) in stance had Parliament disfranchised a borough for proceed ings which had taken place at one single election. It was only when they were convinced of the long existence of an inveterate system of corruption that they disfranchised. He therefore thought that this amendment would frus trate the intentions of the Bill. He thought the altera tions most mischievous—that they entirely mutilseed and spoiled the Bill. The Bill as amended might be some use, but it was very much limited. He thought that in making these alterations in a valuable and effective measure' tor preventing corruption, the Government incurred serious responsibility both in regard to the House and public. Mr. WALPOLE was astonished at the last observation of the Hon. and Learned Member. He attacked the Government fur making alterations in the Bill which emanated from them neither in that or in the other House of Parliament. He also at tacked the Government for having supported one Bill in the House of Commons, and another in the House of Lords. Was it his doctrine of the Constitution that an independent Member in the other House of Parliament had not the power of pro posing an amendment which he thought just, and that the Government had not the power of agreeing to it if they thought it right? That was Pitactly whit hall taken place in the House of Lords. The first amendment was suggested by a Noble Lord, not a member of the Government, and had been adopted by the Government because they thought it just and ressonable—(Hear.) The constitutional doctrine stated by the Learned Gentleman was quite novel. He (Hr. Walpole) would even go a step further, and say that even the constitutional doctrine stated by the Noble Lord was not what he should have expected from so high an authority, who was always ad vocating the rights of the House and the people questions of this kind, in order that no undue influence should be exercised. The amendments as proposed would in reality take away from the Government an enormous power, which they might have used for disfranchising boroughs which were opposed to them. The majority in that House generally supported the Government, and if the Bill had remained as it was, it would have been in the power of the Government to appoint com missions independently of the House of Lords, in order to institute inquiries with respect to any particular bo rough. It such a proposal had emanated from a Tory in stead of aW big Government, the Opposition would be the first to say that a power of this kind, which might be exercised in an arbitrary manner, ought not to be given , unless the matter was thoroughly investigated by both Houses. Ho therefore begged to demur to the consti tutional doctrine both of the greatest constitutinal authority in that House, and also of his legal adviser. With regard to the first amendment, it was nothing but right that the House of Lords should have, as well as the House of Commons, a voice in the question of ap pointing a commission to disfranchise a borough. In the cases of Sudburyland St. Albans the Legislature proceeded by Bill, and the House of Lords was called upon to confirm or reject the disfranchisement, and why should they make an exception here, simply because it was ;proposed to proceed by address? It was neither unjust nor unconstitutional, and he therefore called upon the House to agree to every one of the Lords' amend ments.—(Hear.) Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said the Prime Minister moved the amendment as to the joint address, and yet it was now stated that it proceeded from an independent Peer. Mr, WALPOLE—Yes, Lord Redesdale proposed it. Mr T. DUNCOMBE—But the Prime Minister moved it. When he c,me into offica the Premier stated that he approved of this Bill which did not then cuatain this amendment.—(Hear, beer.) He was very much afraid the amendment had been in- troduced to defeat the;ohject of the Bill, and to secure the rotten boroughs of the Tories.—(Elear, bear.) The other amendment, that the Bill in a certain case should not be retrosprctive, he was et:pally opposed to, for he could not assume that all the constituencies of this country were devoid of corruption, and he therefore re gretted to find that the Noble Lodi the Member for the City of London was prepared to accept the amendnientr.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The leading principle of the Government was concession and compromise, and he wanted to know why there could not be some little concession and compromise here, for the sake of securing as much purity at the next el.ction?—( hear, hear.) Ha would take that oppor tunity of pointing out an anomaly that existed in their recent proceedings in reference to Si. Albans. St. Albans had been disfranchised, and yet there was an lion.

Mr. MIME concurr e d with all that had fallen from the Hononrable Memb,r wh o l ast a dd resse d t h em . I t looked as if the Noble Lord t h e M em b er t or t h e c i ty o f London and the Government were not s i ncere i n pro posing to redress the wrongs of the people. The time, however, had setee when th e y must b e f r i g ht ene d at the word de mocrat, which meant nothing more than Government by the people, and he objected to Honourable Gentlemen who we re the mere nomi nees of Peers talking so slightly of the Liberal parry. The Peers were always found g sup portin • abuses, and looking at the objectionable amendments that they had introduced into this Bill, it would have been much better had the Noble Lord the Member for the city of London abandoned the Bill, rather than succumb to the desire of the Peers to secure their oligarchal system,—(Hear. Mr. HUDSON could not ) help expressing his satisfac tion at the improvements which the Lords had intro duced into the Bill. The Lords ought to have a vo i ce in thi s matter, for the sake of se curing the privilege of the Bill, and ho for one agreed with that eminent personage, who once said, e rhank God, we have a House of Lords."—(Hear, hear.) Either let this House of Lords be an active and efficient part of the Legislature, or do away with it, and as he, for ono, e ntertains d the former and not the latter, he was not sorry that these amendments had been intro duced into this highly y objectionable Bill.—(dear.) Mr. BELL could appreciate the merits of the Bill, having had some experience in corrupt practices. Too much importance seemed to be attributed to the amen dments introduced by the Lords, for he was co nvinced that only simple and whirformed parties who fell into the hands of designing electioneering agents would come under its operation.—(A laugh.) This Bils Bill would, h owever, never put an end to bri bery, for within the last few days he had several boroughs offered him at from 5001. to 3,060/, and he was satisfied Ant the House was not going the r i g ht way to Put an end to these corrupt practices. p art i es who were convicted of bribery ought to be dis graced, while every facility ought to be afforded for the de tection of the c orrupters. The electors receiving the bribe should be fined and disfranchised, and the party admi nistering or sanctioning the bribe disgraced iu some man ner by the lave__(flear hear.)

Mr. °S " ALI) said the amendments ought properly to be considered in Committee, where they could be discussed in detail. He objected to handing over the privilege to the tender mercies of the House of Lords, and charged the Government with having allowed the Bill to he burked in the House of Lords for the sake of securing the Votes of those of their supporters who owed their return to Parliament entirely to bribery and cor ruption.—(Hear, hear.) He should, therefore, take the liberty of moving that the House do negative the Lords' a mendments,_ - (Hear, hear.) Sir DE LACY EVANS said the Bill had been so disfigured that he was at a loss to recognize it as the sa me Bill which went up from this House some short time ago. Re considered the amendments were unjust and uncalled fur, so much so indeed that the Bill was now little better than a sham.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT thought the observations which had been made would satisfy the House and the country that the opposition did not approve of the motion for the adoption :of the Lords' amendments. There were innumerable boroughs notoriously in a state of corrup tion, but the next election might be com promised 'so as to aviod a contact, and then should any future case arise Parliament would be precluded from inquiring into all the former corruption.—(Hear, hear.) No good Bill ever had a chance of passing the Lords unless there was some se vere pressure from without, and the amendments which had been introduced into this Bill we , e simply for the put , pose of throwing obstacles in the way of a searching is quiry into the corrupt practice at elections. The elections Lit le-ast some of them—of this country would be a disgrace to any nation, and he regretted that for the sake of mora lity the Lords had not allowed the Bill to pass in all its iutegrity.— ( El ear, hear.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM allowed that his Noble Friend, the Member for the city of Landon, had been most successful ire his exertions to checkcorrupt practices atelections.

He bel i eved that, into a practically, law.—(it an address were agreed to on a prima facie cage by this House, the House of Lords would concur in the address. He felt that the Bill would be extremely valuable in checking corrupt practices at the elections for the future Parliament, and if a division took place, he would vote in favour of the amendments.

NATIONAL PATENT STEAM FUEL COMPANY.— Contracts for the supply of this company's fuel have been tendered to the directors this week to a very large extent. One foreign steam-packet company is desirous of being sup plied with 150,000 tons during the next three years. It has been proved on board some of our largest steamers that this fuel succeeds in getting up steam — quicker than the best South Wales coal, and that it will neither clinker nor make cluck, qualities which are duly appreciated on board ship. FETE AT CHARLTON HOUSE.—The annual file held for the benefit of the Royal Kent Dispensary took place on Wednesday, with more than usual éclat, in the finely-wood e d grounds of Sir Thomas Wilson's residence, Charlton-house, near Woolwich. The amusements comprehended an eques trian pageant, performed by a selection from the tr oupe , biped and quadruped, of Astley's, with a variety of gymnas. tics and tight-rope feats, and closed with a monkey race, the animals acting as jockeys. There was some good music the bands of the Royal Artillery, of the Royal Marines, and the brass band of the Sappers and Miners being present— while, as the number of the company was unprecedentedly great, it is to be hoped that the hinds of the institution will benefit accordingly. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE SCREW STEAM SHIP PEARL.— YARMOUTH, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.— A most alarming and serious disaster was made known here yesterday by the arrival of the Southwold pil o t b oat, ca ll ed the Providence, with intelligence of the total burning of a large steamer, called the Pearl, belonging to Dublin, while on a passage to Rotterdam from Hartlepool. The un fortunate vessel was a screw steam-ship, between 400 and 500 tons burthen. The crew made strenuous but unavailing efforts to subdue the fire, and were forced to abandon the ship when about 45 miles from Yarmouth. In a few hours after they were picked up by the pilot boat Providence, and brought into this port. The Liverpool Standard says that a lady resident in that town was on Wednesday delivered of two sons and a daughter, who, with their mother, are as well as can be expected.
