The proceedings extended ov er several hours , but partly owing to its having been thought . a d v i sa ble to examine cert a i n w it n esses privately, an d partly to the fact that much of the evidence was Tavern, rn r , eB ß um ro e m d le on the the s s th wask inst., li g ht beyond those with which th e p u bli c a re already fa imainvestigations. At l jury, while the Court was merelyii clearedronog of of from a of srtetrhpaoenrgltasofeg s corroborative sittings piatrtei‘n,u t l e, personito as os u f nature, few facts were brought to the na named Barrett, who holds a responsible situation in the Bromley post-office, produced an anonymous letter, which he stated he had received a day or two previous. The letter charged him with having been accessory to the death of the deceased, and called on him to confess his guilt. The handwriting was not known, nor was any suspicion entertained as to who was the author of the communication. Subsequently to this letter being re ceived by Barrett, the coroner received two anonymous let ters in a similar handwriting, each describing Barrett as the guilty party. The authorship of the two latter letters was owned on Friday by a person who stands in a near degree of relationship to one on whom some suspicion has fallen. His object in writing the same was not satisfactorily explained, and the effect certainly does not tend to weaken that suspicion. A letter, which had been received from Miss Williams, in which she stated that Thomas Churcher had brought some biscuits to her house on the Monday night on which deceased was first missed, was produced. Several witnesses were examined, and questions having been addressed to Mr. Verret], the minister of Rromley Chapel, and one or two other persons as to the authenticity of a letter received by the coroner, signed " Chymicus" (in which it was attempted to be shown that the deceased had attempted suicide), without any satisfactory result, the pro ceedings were, at 4 o'clock, adjourned.

IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL, IN PARLIA- MENT ASSEMBLED. The Petition of the undersigned Subscribers to the Irish Great Western Railway. Humbly showeth, That a Bill has been brought into your Right Honour able House, called the " Midland Great Western Rail way of Ireland (Mullingar and Galway) Bill, for making a railway from Mullingar to Galway. That a certain other Bill has been brought into your Right Honourable House, called the " Irish Great Western Railway," fur making a railway from Port ar:ington to Galway. That an attempt was made during the last session of Parliament, by the Midland Great Western Railway Company, to obtain the consent of Parliament to the project for the construction of a railway to Athlone and Galway, when the said Company presented a Bill in the House of Commons to enable them to carry into effect that portion of the scheme between Dublin and Athlone. That the said last mentioned Bill, together with a Bill to enable the Irish Great Western Railway Company to construct a railway from a point on the Great Southern and Western Railway to Galway, were brought at the commencement of the last session of Parliament, under the consideration of the Board of Trade, which tribunal reported strongly in favour of the Irish Great Western Railway, and against the said competing project. That an agreement was subsequently entered into be tween the two Companies, to the effect, that the Irish Great Western Railway Company should construct their line to Galway, and that the Midland Great Western should abandon that portion of their scheme between Mullingar and Athlone, and confine their operations to the north western parts of Ireland, by extending their line to Longford and Sligo. That the said report of the Board of Trade was brought under the consideration of the Select Com mittee of the House of Commons, to which the said Bills were referred in the last session of Parliament, whose "TteWon Was In 2lt - (2 ,,, r.L.m. , with gie recommendation of the Beard cf Trade, and the said committee sanctioned the said agreement entered into between the said com panies, having added to the Dublin and Mullingar Bill the title of " Midland," and struck out of the said Bill all the clauses enabling the said Midland Great Western Company to construct the branch from Mullingar to Athlone. _ _ That the said agreement was faithfully observed by the Irish Great Western Railway Company, who with drew ell opposition against the Mullingar Bill, which consequently obtained the sanction of Parliament, hav ing passed into a law under the title of "An Act for making a railway from Dublin to Mullingar and Long ford," to be called " The Midland Great Western Rail way of Ireland." That the following is a copy of the said agreement:— (No. I.) MEMORANDUM OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DUBLIN AND GALWAY COMPANY AND THE DUBLIN AND MIILLINGAR AND LONGFORD COMPANY. " That both parties waive all opposition on the standing orders, in consideration of the several matters hereinafter mentioned, viz.:— _ _ " Ist. The Mullingar Company giving up their line from Mullingar to Ath lone. - - - "2d. Mr. French undertakes for himself and the other petitioners against the Mullingar line, to withdraw all opposition to the said Mullingar and Longford line, and to give this latter undertaking, and the branches to the north connected with it, all the support in their power. " 3d. Mr. Perry undertakes for himself and the others concerned, to withdraw all opposition to the Galway line, and to give it and its branches, to the southward, all the support in their power." Dated this 4th April, 1815, and signed, FITZN. FRENCH. JAMES PERRY. "If Mr. Perry shall be unable to prevail on the Grand Canal Company to withdraw their opposition, and tha they shall not succeed in throwing out the Galway Com , pally, this agreement shall exist the same as if the op position had been withdrawn." (Signed) F. FRENCH. J. PERRY. (No. II.) At a meeting of the deputation held in London, the 9th of April, 1845, it was unanimously agreed : That in the fullest confidence that the arrangement entered into between Mr. French and Mr. Perry, will be carried out by both gentlemen and the Companies they represent, as well as all those by whom they are sup ported, or with whom they are connected, to the utmost of their ability for securing the Acts of Incorporation for both lines, we acquiesce in, and confirm the said agreement. Signed by FITZN. FRENCH. John Ennis, Deputy Chairman to the Mullingar line, and Hugh M. Tuite. (No. III.) MEMORANDUM, STH MAY, 1845, LONDON. The heads of an agreement for carrying into effect the proposed measures for a railway from Dublin to Mullingar and Longford, to be ultimately continued to Sligo, and another railway from Portarl.ngton to Gal way, through Athlone. It is agreed that the petitions now pending in Parliament for the above purpose be withdrawn, and that each party assist the other to carry the pending Bills (but confined to the above objects) into effect. If any difference shall arise as to the mode of carry ing the above arrangement into effect, it is hereby dis tinctly agreed by all parties signing this paper that the mode of doing so shall be submitted to the decision of the Committee to whom the Bills be referred. For the Dublin and Mullingar Company, JAMES PERRY. For the Galway Company and other petitioners, FITZN. FRENCH. That notwithstanding the said agreement, the said Mullingar Company covertly assisted other parties in opposing the Bill of the Irish Great Western Railway Company in Parliament in the last session, and when an arrangement was entered into between the secretary of the Grand Canal Company and the Irish Great Western Company, that no opposition should be proceeded with on the part of the former, and that certain clauses should be introduced for the protection of the interests of the Canal Company, Mr. Perry, who had signed the under taking on the part of the Mullingar Company, entered an opposition against the Irish Great Western Railway on standing orders, in direct violation of his solemn pledge, which he kept up until the arrival in London of Sir John Kingston James, one of the Canal Directors, who refused to ratify the ageement of the authorised secretary of the Canal Company. That Mr. John Ennis, also, who had signed the declaration hereinbefore mentioned as deputy-chairman of the Mullingar Line, setting forth, " That in the fullest confidence that the arrangement entered into between Mr. French and Mr. Perry would be carried out by both gentlemen and the companies they represented, as well us those by whom they were supported, or w . th whom they were connected, to the utmost of their ability, for securing the Acts of Incorporation for both lines," and who thereby further declared, " That be acquiesced in anp confirmed the said agreement," had a petition signed by himself, and presented to your Lordships' House, as soon as the Act for incorporating his own company had been secured, setting forth amongst other things that the said petitioner, John Ennis, was prepared to show another and a better line of railway for connecting together Dublin and Galway than that which had been adopted by the Irish Great Western Railway Company, and praying that the Irish Great Western Railway Bill might not be allowed to pass. That following up this open and flagrant violation of good faith and honour, the Midland Great Western Company have brought into your Lordships' House, in the present session, a Bill to enable them to construct a Railway from Mullingar to Athlone and Galway, in opposition to the said Irish Great Western Railway Company, and in violation of the said agreement. That your petitioners submit that this breach of a written engagement and total disregard of the former decision of the Committee of the House of Commons, on the part of the Midland Great Western Company, have been productive of great expense and inccnvenience to your said petitioners, and also of serious injury to the country, by reason of the delay thereby occasioned in the construction of a Railway to the West of Ireland. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Right Honourable House that they may be heard by their Counsel, Agents and Witnesses, in support of the Alle gations hereinbefore contained, and against the pream ble of the said Midland Great Western Railway of Ire and (Mullingar and Galway) Bill. SUMMER SESSION AT THE ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY Arrangements are now in progress, we understand, for in stituting a Summer Session. It is not intended in any way to interfere with, or supersede the studies of the winter, but to afford the students an opportunity of prosecuting these with greatly increased efficiency. Thedesirableness,nay, neces sity of this educational improvement has long been felt and acknowledged. The matter has been zealously taken up by several most influential and public-spirited gentlemen, with whom Provost Blaikie, with his usual zeal in the public service, has heartily co-operated. Others of our civic func tionaries are, we understand, very friendly to the object in view. Several professors, with whom the individuals above referred to have been in communication, have signified their entire willingness to engage in the work. We are informed that, as the result of a meeting, held on Thursday, of the parties who have chiefly interested themselves in this movement, including some of the professors, with the provost, in the Council Chamber, it was agreed to try the experiment cf a Summer Session, for certain classes. As the details must almost immediately be laid before the public, it is unne cessary to say more at present; but we must express a strong hope that the experiment will receive from the public such support as to afford ample encouragement for carrying out the scheme on a scale of greater extension in future seasons.—Aberdeen Herald. LITERARY MEN.—We believe the truth to be, that Potent ministers, great commanders, and rulers of every ge nius, do not like independent literary men. They fear them in their energy, and applaud their own cunning generosity when they can stop their late and dying accents with some paltry pension, or bury them with cathedral honours, or redeem their widows or orphans from starvation and the union workhouse.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, SOUTH A M PTON-B UILD • INGS.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Henderson delivered the concluding lecture on " London " to one of the most nume rous audiences of the session, and judging from the applause, the subject gave entire satisfaction. Various statistics were brought forward of considerable interest, and while informa tion was imparted, a captivating cheerfulness, and healthful ness of tone pervaded the entire discourse. The pictorial illustrations exceeded in our opinion the last, especially " Bucklersbury in the olden time, " which was worthy the pencil of the first artist in that particular line; we hope to become more familiar with the works of Mr. W. Shalders. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The making of hose, especially cut-ups and other slop goo,!s, has a shade improved, and most of the wide frames in this vicinity are at work. The wrought hose branches have, if anything, a shade improved. The cot.' on glove trade is still tolerably . brisk, though the bagmen have met with a severe check in obtaining the India rubber web, which has been wove on looms in secret ; some of the welt weavers have been injunctioned, and an explo sion and great confusion has taken plate in consequence, as they must now have the web from the patentees. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch can scarcely be said to be amended, though they have in some quarters a little more employment. The silk glove trade still continues pretty good. The manufacture of silk stockings, once the main support of Nottingham. still keeps declining, and from the bad qualities of the silk used, is likely to further decline. The fancy bobbin net trade is still in a most depressed condition, though we find that in some quarters a few branches are again set going. The warp lace is still in a most depressed state, with the exception of the making warp jacquard mitt; gloves, and sleeves, which are rather brisk. — Nottingham Review.

PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PowraNtount, FRIDAY.—The Caryafort, 26, Captain Sey mour, left Portland Road?, on the 18th, for Sydney. . . The Bth (King's Own) Regiment, under the command of Colonel Sir Henry Bayley, G.C.H., and Lieutenant-Colonel Hartley, was inspected this afternoon, on Southsea-common, by Major-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.8., in command of the south-west district, and Lieutenant- Governor of this garrison. The men were put through the various evolutions by their respective officers in a manner showing the well-skilled officer and practised soldier, and performed them with a precision and minuteness of detail we never saw surpassed by any regiment in the service. The Gallant General was pleased to express his warm praise at the highly efficient state of the regiment, the excellent order of their movements, the precision of their fire, and their war like and soldierly appearance, before leaving the ground. The Bth now musters 900 strong, which will be increased to 1,000 before leaving on foreign service. It has been reported that the Bth is about to proceed to India, but we have good authority for stating no troops will proceed from this quarter for India before June. Notices for tenders fir conveying troops to India are not yet issued by the Government or East India Company. CHATHAM, MARCH 20.—The African steam-vessel, J. King master, arrived here on the 18th instant with seamen from the Trafalgar, flag-ship at Sheerness, for the Raleigh, 50 guns, Captain Sir T. Herbert, K.C.8., and returned to Sheer ness again the same day, taking the Goodwill lighter in tow, loaded with s t ores f or that dockyard. The Duck, Savage master, arrived on the 19th inst. with stores from Portsmouth yard. The Cockatrice schooner, fitting for a victualling vessel for the coast of Ireland, is nearly completed, and is now getting her masts in place. The Magpie, fitting for a water tank, is masted and nearly completed for service. The Teazer steam-vessel, building—The caulkers have completed caulking this vessel. She is expected to be ready for launching the middle of next April. The Raleigh, 50 guns, is nearly completed in her rigging. The painters commenced yesterday painting her. She is ex pected to be ready for service next month. A party of caulkers have been lent from this yard to caulk the Sidon and Hound steam-vessels building at Deptford, and another party are ordered to be lent to Sheerness to caulk the Trafalgar in dock. _ _ Fift3; ropemakers and eighteen boys are ordered to be en tered in the ropery at this yard. The Ttlawir V. sk .sr otoam Master-Commander S. B. Cook, returned to Woolwich on Monday, after having conveyed the Lords of the Admiralty to Sheerness and Chatham, on a visit to these naval ports. She is to be fitted with new boilers. The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jen- kins, went to Greenhithe on Monday to have her compasses adjusted, and subsequently proceeded to Portsmouth where she will be paid in advance, and is expected to serve on the Mediterranean station _ _ _ The Phoenix steam-vessel, Commander Dennis, will be ready for sea on Sunday. She will be paid advance at Portsmouth. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsey, was taken out of the basin at Woolwich on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of a great number of naval and military officers, who had visited that fine vessel during the day. She will leave for Greenhithe about the middle of next week. The Mastiff, Master-Commander Thomas, with her tender, the Woodlark, left Woolwich yesterday for Kincardine, on the coast of Scotland, to resume her surveying duties. The Violet steam-vessel, built for the Dover station by Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare, and fitted with engines by Penn, was tried down the river on Tuesday, and her average speed was found to be 14.270 knots per hour. Captain Jerningham has continued his experiments in Woolwich marshes during the week, with a ♦iew of ascer taining the simplest and most effective mode of saving lives from shipwreck, and to-day Lieutenant Knolleart, com mander of the Adder war schooner, belonging to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, attended in the marshes to wit ness them. The mortars were fired at an elevation of 33 de grees, and charged with 12 ounces of powder, which enabled the shot fired to carry a strong rope of Manilla hemp, one inch in circumference, and very elastic, a distance of 320 yards. The Manila rope was rolled up on this occasion in the manner used by riggers, and the inside end of the ball attached to the shot; the ball was then placed in a tub and run out when fired all clear, and this appeared to be the best plan yet tried. The anchor was also fired, and carried a dis tance of 182 yards, and when it alighted its holding powers were so great that the united strength of twenty men could not bring it home. Yesterday two lines were fired at one time, and carried a distance of 210 yards, and this mode gives great advantages, as on being spliced, those on board and on shore could make an endless rope of them, which would be of great assistance during shipwreck. SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN M'LEOD. The following is an extract from a letter written by Mr. Santos, agent for the Peninsular and Oriental Company at Corunna, dated March 12 : " I returned from the wreck of the Great Liverpool on the 10th inst., and have relieved Mr. Baker, from the temporary duty as agent to your company at this place. " The melancholy death of Captain M'Leod, which took place on the morning of the Bth instant, has, as you may well suppose, added greatly to my labours, and, indeed, must plead for my present hasty report, relying upon your indul gence to permit me to furnish more details when the depar ture of the Queen shall afford me more quiet and leisure. " Poor Captain M'Leod his been, ever since the unfortu nate loss of the Liverpool, in an extremely depressed state, and caused me very serious apprehensions. At five o'clock in the morning I went to the habitation where he, with one of his officers and the doctor, had been sleeping. I told them to get ready, as everything had been arrrnged by me for an early start for Corunna. I asked Captain M'Leod how he had rested, when he replied that he had not closed his eyes, went to the window, and agreed with me on our having tine weather for our journey; immediately after he took off his coat and went into his sleeping room, I thought to wash ; we soon heard a noise, and the landlord coming in to report the same, made us all rush into his room, where we found him weltering in his blood, and his throat cut from ear to ear. All our efforts could not prevent his expiring within ten minutes, so effectually had the rash act been done. You may well conceive the consternation we were thrown into, but, overcoming my feelings I immediately proceeded to go through everything that was necessary to be done. I sent for the judge, and ar ranged matters for holding an inquest. I interred the body of the unfortunate Captain M'Leod the same evening, and esrly the next morning set out upon my journey with all the remaining officers and crew." The following additional particulars are contained in a letter from Southampton : " I have very little to communicate in connexion with the melancholy death of poor Captain M'Leod, of the Great Liverpool steam-ship. It appears that everything was in readiness to depart from the inhospitable shore on which the remainder of the passengers and crew had been located since the unfortunate wreck, and Captain M'Leod had retired to his room to make preparations for his departure. His protracted stay was remarked; and on one of the party knocking at the door of his room, to an nounce that every person was in readiness, no answer was returned, and after repeated knockings with the same result, the door was opened, when the horrid spectacle of the unfortunate gentleman with his throat cut from ear to ear, presented itself to view. So determined was the suicidal act that life was quite extinct. He was buried in the village of Cee, where the distressing catastrophe was perpetrated, every one of his fel!ow sufferers following his remains to the grave with heavy and mournful hearts. " Captain M'Leod was a gentleman of extremely high spirit and honour, and it is not improbable that the severe suffer ings, anxiety, and trials, the loss of the vessel entailed upon him, su p er induced the committal of the dreadful deed. "Mrs. M'Leod, with her yonthful family (and a prospect of further increase shortly), is resident in Southampton. The distressing intelligence was communicated to her as delicately as possible immediately on the Queen's arrival, but it is impossible to describe the agonising state of mind of this truly unfortunate lady. " Captain M'Leod was a lieutenant in the navy; his com mission bears date the 19th of July, 1823. " The conduct of the natives is described by the passen gers as villanous in the extreme; they openly filched every thing they could lay their hands upon, accompanied in many instances with acts of violence. Even the guards sent by the British Consul at Corunna are, it appears, not exempt from the charge of robbe r y . Au investigation, it is said, is about to take place on a char g e brought forward against one of these worthies, and, if proved, no doubt the rascal will be shot. " The unfortunate ship had entirely disappeared ; not a vestige of her was to be seen. Occasionally, however, things floated ashore, but they were quickly pounced upon by those rave nous wolves in human shape, and divided amongst them." LORD PALMERSTON AS A SPEAKER. All things taken into account, Lord Palmerston is, perhaps, the best debater among the Whig leaders of the House of Commons. In the different qualities which, when combined, go to render a man an orator, he is excelled ,by many indivi duals among his contemporaries. Lord John Russell shows more tact, more intimate acquaintance with party his tory (not with parties, for, in that knowledge, Lord Palmerston beats all men living, having been a member of almost every Government within the memory of man), greater skill in pointing allusions to the political errors of oppone nts,and altogether more refinement in the management of his Parliamentary case. In eloquence, both of concep tion or in delivery, Lord Palmerston is, of muse, excelled by Mr. Shiel or Mr. Macaulay, and even by men holding a far inferior rank as speakers. In soundness and vigour of argument he cannot stand a moment's comparison with Mr. Cobden, or with Earl Grey (when that nobleman does justice to his own powers) or even with Charles Buller. Each speaker on his own side, in fact, is in ad vance of him in some particular quality of the orator. Yet no one would for a moment hesitate to place Lord Palmerston amongst 'the first speakers in the House of Commons, or would deny that he had derived from hearing one of that nobleman's speeches as much pleasure, of its kind, as if he had listened to the most brilliant efforts of Macaulay, the most spirit-stirring of Sheil, or the most skilful and satisfying of Lord John Russell. The peculiarity in Lord Palmerston which gives him this singular power of charming with an oration as a whole, the several parts of which are not calcu lated to please. if critically analysed, is the thorough and hearty spirit of partisanship, not malignant, or angry, or mean, as is that of most ze a l ous a d vocates of em bodied un o d p i g ini u o i n se o d, or isnotermesutsc,h so a but frank, to assumek,manly,open a - l h m e o a s rt t a ed, sportive character, as if Parliamentary politics were a mere pastime, a kind of relaxation from the heavier cares or labours of administration or of ordinary political life, in which all men are bound by a sort of mutual compact, answering to the laws of a game, to exert their utmost powers to excel or to overcome each other, for the sake cf the distinction and applause which are the reward of success.—Contemporary Orators, in Fraser. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—WORTHING, FRlDAY.—Yes terday a young man named Smart, a resident of Shoreham, employed on the works of the Brighton and Chichester Railway at Leominster, was killed under the following circumstances :—A train of muck waggons, which had come from Brighton, had reached the parish of Leominster, and, the steam having been shut off for some 500 yards, the speed of the train was reduced to a rate of about four miles an hour. The waggons being slack-coupled, there was a reaction of them against one another consequent on diminishing the speed, and the deceased, who was standing up on one of the waggons, was jerked out headlong. In his fall, between two of the waggons, he broke his neck, and the train passing over him, both his arms and one leg were also broken, and his chest was crushed in. Ile was picked up dead—life was destroyed instantaneously. BY JAWS W. KENT, SURGEON, STANTON, SUFFOLK. In submitting the following plan of voting and conducting of elections to the notice of the public, I beg leave to state that I am not so vain as to presume that it is a perfect one, but, on the contrary, I offer it as the outline of a system which when per fected by wiser heads then my own', will, I believe, be found to be far superior to our present system, and of great use to the voter, the Member of Parliament, and the public in ge neral. I flatter myself that the lovers of peace and good order will readily acquiesce in a plan which has for its base justice, peace, and order; but those persons who are great admirers of the present "good old English system," as they termit, ofconducting elections by bribery, treating, drunken ness, riot, and bloodshed, and forcing electors to travel miles to give their votes, amidst threats, insults, and as saults from hired bullies, armed with bludgeons, to overawe and intimidate the peaceable voters, will instantly reject a proposition from their " exalted minds," which is diametri cally opposed to their refined taste and sordid interests. The following is the plan which I would propose, which resembles, in some few respects, the system adopted for test ing votes at 'municipal. elections:- 1. The registration of voters to remain as at present. 2. That an office be established by Government called the " GeneralElectoralßegister Office, -; ' to be conducted by suitable officer, ffi cer, or_ocers, for the purpose of annually regis tering the total number of all the voters in every county, city, and borough in the United Kingdom ; and also for printing, making, and distributing voting papers and enve lopes to enclose them for all the voters. 3. The voting papers to be ornamented with marks, &c., . . like bank-notes, to prevent forgery, and a blank space should be left in the centre of them for containing the names of the candidates—and, if deemed advisable, the name of -.- the county, city, or borough, might be printed on the voting papers, and a supply for all the counties, cities, and boroughs, in the United Kingdom might always be kept printed, so that only the names of the candidates would want to be printed on them. In all other respects the voting papers for the whole kingdom should be precisely similar; and when they are delivered to the voters, they should not contain the voter's name, initials, residence, trade or profession, number of his house, or of his registration ; nor should the officers appointed to deliver or collect them, or any other person affix the name, number, or initials, of the voter, or other mark, whether on the voting paper or the envelope, fir the purpose of rocognising them again, Under penalty of five, im prisonment, and disfranchisement. The voter, also, shall not affix his name, abode, seal, or other mar k, to the votin g papers or envelopes; but there shall be printed instructions given on each paper, directing the voter to draw a line with a pen across the names of the candidates that he does not in tend to vote for. A notice should be printed on the voting paper requesting the voter to have his voting paper ready by eight o'clock on the morning previous to the day of election, as the officers might possibly collect the voting papers on that day if the high sheriff or mayor thought it expedient. The voter may seal up the voting paper in its envelope with a wafer or sealing-wax, but must not affix any seal to ittat_ig,in case of his not sealing it up, the officer who col lects tbeatrxigpapz,rs shall sea Tit with his seal.f office. With respect to the probability of forging the voting papers, it seems to me to be a matter of impossibility, be cause the officers, who deliver them in company with the friends of the candidates, would take special care when col lecting them to receive only the same number of voting papers, and at the same places where they delivered them. Even supposing it to be possible for them to be forged, would not the fear of the law of transportation for forging operate' powerfully as a check upon those whose dishonest motives might incite them to attempt it. 4. When a writ is issued for the election of a Member or Members of Parliament for any county, city, or borough, the high sheriff or mayor, as soon as he has ascertained the names of the candidates who intend to offer themselves for the choice of the voters, shall forthwith transmit the names of such candidates to the general register officer, who shall cause their names to be printed on the voting papers of such county, city, or borough, and forward them to the high sheriff or mayor, which latter shall appoint a sufficient num ber of respectable officers to deliver a voting raper in its en velope to every voter six days previous to the day of polling, or collecting the voting papers; and each candidate shall be allowed to send a friend with the above officers at the time when they deliver out the voting papers, and likewise when they collect them again, in order to see that the officers exe cute their duty with justice and efficiency. And the officers and candidates' friends with them shall not enter into any political conversation with the voters, or persuade them to vote for any particular candidate, under a severe penalty. Should the officers find that any of the voters on the regis tered list are dead, in foreign lamb, incapacitated from voting by insanity, or by crime, or any other natural or legal pro hibition, they shall return such papers to the high sheriff or mayor, stating the cause of their returning them, and such voting papers shall then be destroyed in the presence of the candidates. _5. On the morning of the election or polling, the above officers, with the friends of the candidates, shall - proceed to each voter's residence to collect the voting papers; the voter must deliver his paper in its envelope to the officer, and if not sealed, the officer shall affix his seal of office to it, and put it into the box appointed for that purpose, which box shall be locked, and the high sheriff or mayor shall keep the key of it; and a small narrow opening shall be made in the lid of the box, just sufficient to allow of the voting paper be ing slipped in. In county elections, or large towns, in order to facilitate the collecting of the voting papers, it might be deemed necessary for the officers to be supplied with horses and vehicles, and they might commence collecting the papers on the day previous to polling, taking due care at night that the boxes are placed in a safe place, under a guard ap pointed by each candidate, to prevent their being interfered with or stolen. 6. Oa the day of polling or election, efficient officers ap pointed by the high sheriff or mayor, shall open the boxes one by one, and shall open each voting paper and proclaim in an audible voice for what candidates the votes are given, and the polling clerks shall enter each vote properly against the name of the candidate for whom it is given. The voting papers being all delivered in and written down, the high sheriff, mayor, or their deputy, might proclaim the state of the poll on t he same day, or wait till the following morning. Respecting polling booths, in consequence of the voters not appearing in person to give their votes, these places would not be required, except in county elections, where the polling places are sometimes fixed in villages, and even here a good large magistrate's room, or club-room at a public-house, would suffice; and in towns, the itown-hall would be suffi ciently capacious. 7. The payment of the ofiicer4 who distribute and collect the voting papers, polling clerks, and other expenses in curred in conducting the election on this system, to be paid by the county or borough where the election may take place. 8. Candidates not to be allowed to canvass personally, or by agents, under a severe penalty; but voters may wait upon them to learn their political principles, or elicit the like in formation from them. 9. Bribery, on the part of a candidate, or any one else, to be punished by a heavy tine, imprisonment, incapacitation for filling any office, and disfranchisement. Persons endea vouring, also, by dishonourable means, threats, treating, and the like, to induce a voter to vote for a particular candidate, or demanding to see him sign his voting paper, or to see it after it is signed, or opening it after it is sealed up, or making any mark upon it, shall in each and all such cases be subject to fine, imprisonment, and disfranchisement. 10. On the day of election no flags, banners, colours, musk, or processions to be allowed, or other party demonstra tions tending to emelte the passions of the people to dis orderly conduct and breach of the peace. At elections conducted on the foregoing system every voter, whether sick, bed-ridden ' infirm, or absent from home, would be capable of exercising his privilege of voting; and every voter would note at his own house in a peaceable man ner. There would be no intoxicating of voters, feasting them at public-houses, shutting them up or stealing them away to prevent their voting conscientiously; no bullying, insulting, and assaulting of voters when going to give their votes; no false swearing; no hiring of bullies armed with bludgeons to intimidate the peaceable voters ; no breaking of windows, mobs and rioting, and calling in the aid of the police and military, because the public safety was endangered. The town and neighbourhood would be left in as quiet a state as before the election ; personal animosities would be lessened, and the injurious and malicious system of exclusive dealing arising therefrom would be much less frequent. There would be no mischievous and demoralising system of exciting the passions of the populace by music, flags, drunkenness, and processions ; and public-houses would not be opened for dining and treating of voters who came from a distance, thus incurring a double expense on the candidates for conveyance and treating. And lastly, but not least, the Members' ex penses incurred in elections carried on in this way would be merely nominal, and their constituents would therefore have better grounds for hoping they would do their duty more honestly by them in Parliament, and not turn and sell them for pecuniary considerations or office, as it is feared has too frequently been done where the Member has been put to an unreasonable expense. The respect and good feeling between Member and voter would become real and not affected. All these advantages, and many more, would be gained by the foregoing plan of conducting elections and taking votes, and which are not enjoyed by the method of voting now in use, and which cannot be enjoyed even under the system of vote by ballot as hitherto proposed. It is likewise superior to the ballot, because it would have a double advantage of being exercised both openly and secretly. To his neighbour or friend, the voter might, if he pleased, disclose his senti ments, and show him for whom he had voted ; the voter who needed secrecy or protection in exercising his privilege of voting conscientiously would be benefited by it, because the wretch who would like to influence him in voting dare not attempt to coerce the voter to vote for whom he pleased, nor yet demand to see his voting paper signed, or to see it after it was signed, for fear of the law which would fine, im prison, and disfranchise him. Besides, the timid voter might mark his voting paper soon after he received it and seal it up, and no one would dare to open it. It is superior to the ballot, also, in another respect—that is, the voter can vote at his own house ; but by the ballot system the voter must go to the ballot-box which may be miles from his house, and in the confusion which prevails at elections, an ignorant or timid voter might as well put his ballot into the Wrong as into the right part of the ballet-box, whereas at his own house, by the system proposed, he would have five or six days to reflect on before he marked his voting paper. By adopting this foregoing plan, we should approach much nearer to the so-much vaunted " purity of election" than we yet have, or ever can, by our present disgraceful and unjust method of conducting elections. In conclusion, I would say to those who approve of the ballot, "Can you state any objections to this plan as not being capable o f g i v i ng a ll the security to the voter which the ballot offers, and that it does not secure much greater benefits to the voter, Member of Parliament, and the public ?" To those who dislike the ballot, "Would you nut prefer the method proposed to that of the ballot ?"—and to those who so much admire the present manner of voting and conduct ing of elections, "Tell me why you prefer driving the honest and respectable voter ta give his vote personally at the polling-booth (and, perhaps, driven up to vote against his own conscience and the interests of his fellow-subjects), amidst the yells, insults, assaults,* riots, and bloodshed, of ruffianly and fiendish mobs, hired for the unholy work of carrying the election by brute force, in order to get some corrupt Member returned, who, in return for the infamous support they have given him, will, as soon as he is seated, vote away their and their honest neighbours ' birth KE rights?"
