This, of courser exc ludes a doubtful cluster of from fifty to sixty ". doubtfu l " Members —otherwise designated as Peelites or Libera l Conservatives. What t he be readily conjecture secti on of the House 1• cours e assume i by this 3 law long matter of uncertainty.. F rom to be cann ot remain call be roto the first m tom ent it Ther e is a mcire easily traceable affinity between these occupants of the cross benches and the occupants of the benches of the Opposition than between the former representa • tives and the strenuous upholders of the DERBY Administration. Upon the one great question of the day—the question upon which Ministers originally entered office—the dominant and absorbing ques tion of Free Trade—the Liberal Conserva tives are identical in their sympathies with the leading men of the Opposition. Upon the yet more remarkable questions of reform in re ference to the organization of Parliament, and the extension of the franchise, and the better distribution of electoral districts, the Peelites are more intimately associated with the ultra-Liberals of the Opposition than with the ultra-Conservatives of the Administra tion. Whatever may be the result of the delibera tions now going forward in the camp of the D oubt fuls"—there can be little hesitation on th eir part, when the " tug o f 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 provocatives of divisions among the anti-Minis terialists—a similar source, first of confusion and sub sequently of disbandment, may be discerned in the ranks not so much of the Ministerialists 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 opposed 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 intended policy from time to time by a series of adroit and singularly ingenious postpone ments. 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 satisfactory 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 she patriotic course could be other than a candid avowal of the views of the Ministry prior to the dissolution of 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 nc—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 he 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 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 which 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. Is is with these confident anticipations that we look forward with eagerness to the first assembling of the new Par liament. During 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 formidable session of 1853, comes Waterloo! All honour to Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS ! Al though firmly convinced of the propriety and justice of the rule which he had 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 ord er t o 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 comm un i ty. It requires no ordinary amount of moral courage to ac knowledge a fault, but there is a still higher quality, a readiness to yield in a matter where you are still satisfied of the correctness of your own views, and the beneficial results that would attend their general adoption. There is a forbearance in the act deserving the highest approbation, and which we have no doubt will be generally appre ciated. Although we differed from the Learned Gentlema n 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 ‘• a desolating sys t em"— a desperate expedient of propping up a totteri ng credit with delusive paper. Anything that could even mitigate, if it could not altogether abolish, the glaring grievance, 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 and luckless young men, who seal their own ruin the moment they become parties to such trans actions. It was with the hope of infli c ti ng a heavy blow and a great discouragement to the entire system, of checking the "fatal facility" which has lured and will still lure so many victim' to the sacrifice, that the re gulation was adopted and propagated. In that res p ec t the mot i ve was unimpeachable, and we could s carce ly object t o any means that could achieve the great desiderat um . But, as K e have already stated, we do not believe that it would have the intended effect; first, 6.—cause it would have been only partial in its operation, and secondlyi because it would add to the number of th e tempters,_ by se ld giving additional secu rity : u cha to tr a t n h s ei r e tidemands,on s Men w h o b ecome i nvo l ve d i n m contemplate insolvency. They are still disposed to hope a • gainst hope, to believe that some almost miraculous occurrence will lead to the liquidation of the liability. The hope may appear perfectly absurd to any prudent and reflecting mind, 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 dir ec t all thel powers of the tribunal against the creditors in place of the debtors, unless the former can co me 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 lendels can be met with. The latter are generally of prudent and calculating dispositions, they g char e sufficient to become their own insurers, and to provide amply a g ai 'nt 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 consider it as an additional guarantee and enter morn freely into such transaction. There is a wide difference between different classes of accomn iodation bill,, A father may become in volved through a desire to save his child from 1 ruin, or a sell to rescue his parent. If the party to whom the sEcurity is given be aware of the nature of the transaction he cannot be injure d nor can he justly c omplain, of the conduct of his debtor, of his debtor, who may have been influenced by the highest and purest feelings and l,ria -i lea Again, the' 'e m a y be cases where, although - c-13 - • there are no such extt muating circumstances, there is yet no I deception, the creditor being pefectly co • gru aant of all the circumstances of the transaction. There un questionably is ,a grievance, but both parti es are i n fault, both ar e e b ion yo f punishment, but which will best serve as an example to deter others from of fending in like minder. We do not, c f course, allude to commercial which tibould be treated in a ..totally different LONDON, way, but in those where professional money lenders are concerned, we believe that the object whizh the Commissioners are dc-i -rous of achieving would be ba-st advanced by reversing their former rule, and not only admitting to hail, but 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, aft e r a care f u l investi gation into the charges against THOMAS MORGAN— a bricklayer imported from Shrewsbury during the recent election at Derby —have bound him over to appear in due season. The charge is a very serious one—that of actually bribi ng cer t a i n e l ec t ors, an d it is alleged that he, in f ac t, was caught in the very act. The particulars of the case are interesting, and may be brie fly stat e d. In the ancient town of Shrewsbury there resides a hair-dresser and barber named JOHN FRAIL, who also is "clerk of the course" at the races there. This person has been "concerned," for many veers pest, in most of the contested elections in and near to the 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 bas been so fortunate (by reason of his election con nexions and tactics) to be on a footing 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, wa s pro duced an envelope, bearing the seal of the Cerlton Club, addressed to " Mr. Jolter 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 you cannot leave your own place—if not, send one whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to Der b y on receiving this, and find the Ccunty Tavern in the centre of the town. Send his card to Cox, Brothers, and lead works—as coming from Chester. That will be vv. B. enough.--Yours, " Monday." Mr. JOHN KEOGH (brother to the excellent and distinguished Member for Athlone) was examined at Derby, and stated—" I reside at 85, King William street,l was the secretary of the Reading and Reigate Rail way Company. Major WM. BERESFORD, t he Secretary at War, was the chairman of thepresent board of member of the directors. Major BERESFOUD is a Carlton Club; he is the gentleman 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'a hand writing. The whole of the letter now produced is in the handwriting of Major BERESFOUD. The direction on the envelop e i s a l so hi s wr iti n g." This, we rather M think, fix es th e aut h ors hi p o f the FRAIL epist l e on B ERESFORD , o f " ra bbl e " celebrity , wh o hol ds a public situation in the Ministry as Secretary at War, and has another appointment quite 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 Derby. Somebody else went--for, on the polling. day, THOMAS MORGAN was caught in a back room at the County Tavern, with gold and notes in bis posses sion to the value of some hundreds. The man thus rejoicing in this plethora of cash is—a bricklayer! But, in all likelihood, he was the "good and safe man with jud gmen t and quickness," w hom W. B " wanted immedi a t e ly 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 be found the money on his person ; that he 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 Chester. The reason why he put Chester upon the card was because Frail wished him to do so. lln 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 election; and ho (Frail) gave him tho letter, and that he came direct to the County Tavern according to his instructions. That when he got there he sent his card to Cox, Brothers, and Co,, as the lead works; that he did not know them at all, and, therefore, 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 more his than mine. The loose gold was his. One bag of gold was brought to him over night at the County Tavern, and the other bog 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. He also told me that he was to wait in tho room and pay the money to persons who brought cheques; which he did, and entered it in the book with the numbers. As be was a stranger here, he did not know whether they were electors or not." On the Bth the prisoner was remand e d, b u t on hi s lock-upgo good d letter a nd was safe a fe written m a n" for i s pro bablyhi m atw a hyi abdictation h the ys d D i : r A e ,w c E t e e d ui nn t o d es — rhs rt T ea ow e d e s n bt h a u L er yr z ,: , Eissg a,n m n o ao t uu m cn tti u fio c ne h iede o s : ns a ah s mr c ee r w i d b s e b ) Tu , but a certainly y r not any Esqui re so name d. M oaoaN w communicative to the police-offic e r, an d v e (to quote the very words)— 4 , He they repeated to me, that Frail had sent him to Derby; be said he thought he was coming to D..rby to be a poll-clerk; if he had known that they had wanted him for the job he was come for he would have seen them d—d before he had come; be said be was vic timised. I then said to Mellor, Why, that letter has no post-mark upon it.' The prisoner said, But there's the seal, that has not been broken.' I said, the letter has been opened; he said, The seat has not been 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 bhould claim it. He said, that many a man fixed as he was would have gone off with the money. He told me he was a bricklayer, and came from Shrewsbury. He slid there were three newspapers 'in ShreA sbory; one would expose him, and the other two would try to smother it up. He said, there was a new law for bribery, but he did not know what it was; he s!.id he expected they would make a witness of him, and 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. Ho said,.the figures were in his handwriting." A voter named Smturtocx proved that he had voted for HOMSFALL, the Tory candidate, on a pro mise of Two Pounds—that he then went up-stairs to a back-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 stain., 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 m?, 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 hand ; the per son inside the room shut the door, and I went down stairs." The room at the door of which SHARROCK received the two pounds was that in which MORGAN was apprehended. As to the facts there can be no doubt. The pay ment to SHARROCK is marked off in the briber's bank, and the briber (who seamed to think that his Salopian employer had led him into jeopardy) has admitt e d t h e truth of the evidence adduced. He promised, in his fright, that he 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. fur his appearance, with two sureties in 1501. each. Can any reasonable man expect that he will appear ? The amount of bail is insufficient. The Cirlton Club correspondents can readily pay the amount, and allow MORGAN to retire to Boulugne, as ED WARDS did. FRAIL, we observe, has arrived in London—whether en route to the Continent we know not. The part which Major BERESFORD is said to have ihave been so concerned. imagin e h ow t h at astute d taken in the transaction indic ates such intense folly andthat w a - c e u really ,cctiacni a s n c scarc ely is for him to r ebut, p rom p tl y and publicly, the heavy implication ag ainst him.

VICE CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY v THE EAST AND wEST INDIA D, CEs AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, —JUDGMENT. This case, whi c h was f u ll y reported in The Sun of Friday last, again came before his Honour Vice-Chan cellor Parker this morning for judgment. It will be re collected that the case stood over fcr the purpose of some plan being agreed to bet:Teen the engineers of the two companies for forming th e j unct i on from t h e plain•iffs line to that of the defendants, the objection to which by the latter was the cause of litigation. Mr. DANIEL stated, at the sitting of the Court, that the parties were making some arrangement, and it was possible that an agreement would be come to without prejudice to any of the parties. He had, therefore, to ask his Honour to let the case stand first in the paper for Thursday next, when the parties he had no doubt would be agreed upon a plan. The Counsel on the other side agreed. His HoNoun stated that he thought he must refer the case to the Master, but the caue could stand over for the day mentioned. The matter then dropped.

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 Mores and the lonian Islands, having been attacked by a disease of a novel and so destructive a character as to came serious apprehensions as to the fate of the grow ing crop—a disease akin to that which exhibited itself last year in other countries, and is now committing ravages in the vineyards of Sicily, Naples, and Northern Italy. As on the issue of the Currant crop depends not only the well-bei ng o f a larg e commu nity, but also much oi , the revenue of the Greek Go vernment, this fresh calamity so soon following the rain danasged crop of 1850 and the losses from the low prices of the present season, cannot but excite a feeling of sympathy. The accounts from the places of growth nearly ail concur in the opinion that over half of the entire crop of the Mores and lonian Islands will have been lost. It must not be concealed, moreover, that, as this season will undoubtedly be a late one, there may be a recurrence of the rain-damage of 1850, _lnd this apprehension is now giving a fresh stimulus to Currants on the continent, and driving up prices above the level of our owe."
