It is now certain that the result will be communicated to the As sembly on Wednesday, and borne by the whole house to St. Cloud the same evening. The pro clamation of the Empire will be made next day at the Tuileries, in presence of all the great bodies of the State. The President will come to Paris from St. Cloud on horseback, surrounded by his family, by the Ministers, his staff, &c. All the army of Paris will be under arms. The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin, says :—" There has been this week less activity in the manufactories of Paris, most of the orders for the new year, as regards the capital, having been completed ; but there has been no great falling off in the business for the departments, and new and important orders have been received from abroad. The manufacturers of articles of luxury and fancy, called Articles de Paris, and especially of jewellery and bronzes, have sent large quantities to foreign countries, principally to the Brazils, Mexico, and the Havanna, and also to the French West India, colonies. The silk manufacturers at Lyons con tinue to execute orders for England and the United States of America. Every packet from New York brings fresh orders for rich silks and velvets, and also for the manufactures of Mulhouse." At the reception at Saint Cloud, on Saturday, says the Constitutionnel, a member of the Legis lative body asked the Prince President whether the time had not arrived for using the word Sire in addressing him. The Prince smiled and replied, " No, not yet ; let me enjoy the short time that is still left to me (Laissez-moi jouir demon reste)." A subscription is now being organised among the deputies for a grand banquet to take place on the 2d December. The number of names already in scribed is very considerable. The vote of the House of Commons on the motion of Mr. Villiers, and the amendment of Sir James Graham, is noticed in the leading columns of nearly all the journals. The Pays enters into on inquiry as to the probable effect -of this vote, and in doing so indulges in remarks which indicate anything but a desire that it should tend to the consolidation of the Derby Ministry. Towards Lord Palmerston the Pays is very complimentary, and the influence which the noble lord has obtained in the new House of Commons by the peculiar policy which he has adopted, is regarded by the Pays as of a nature to render his return to office almost indispensable. The Debats, in concluding its summary of the proceedings in the House of Commons, says— " This was the first time that the new Parliament was called on to give a political vote, and that which it has given is a proof of a difficult state of things. The last elections appear not to have produced a decided majority and serious embarrassments will necessarily result from it. There must, however, be no exaggerations. The representative regime practised by men so intelligent and sincerely patriotic as the English possesses wonderful elasticity and resources. We may be allowed to foresee, in a not distant future, the necessity of a ministerial mo dification ; but the prudence and moderation, which have presided over these long discussions, prove that this modification will be made without effort and with out danger for the country." It is now understood on all hands that all the Foreign Powers will at once, and without any diffi culty, recognise the new order of things. M. de Kisseleff has returned, charged with the instruc tions of the Northern Courts, which are of the most satisfactory description, to the Government of France. Several of the corps diplomatique have already received from their respective Courts the dispatches which recognise the Empire, and ac credit them as Ministers at the Court of Napoleon 111. There is a lively emulation amongst them as to which shall be first to present his credentials. It is a most curious fact that the Ministers who are first in the field are the representatives of the House of Bourbon, viz., the representatives of Naples and of Spain. During his term of office, Louis Napoleon has reduced the French army by 76,000 men. It may not be uninteresting to quote a valuable statistical paper which has just been prepared, and which shows how much Louis Napoleon has reduced the very sinews of war. It appears, under the reign of Louis Philippe, the credits allowed by the Chamber for naval expenses amounted in -1846 140,247,101 fr. 1847 158,093,515 1848 153,615,777 The terrible financial disorders of 1848 forced the Legislative Assembly to cut down the budget of the navy in -1849 to 128,137,318 The Government of Prince Louis Napoleon has actually made further reductions, and the b d udge for 1852 and 1853 show the following credits ts al lowed to the navy : 1852 117,215,804 fr. 1853 117,181,001 The price of public securities was firm at the Bourse to-day, with the exception of the shares of the New Bank of Credit Mobilier, which opened at 1,575 f., and closed at 1,475 f.

Madrid Bourse, Nov. 24.—The Three per Cents., 46 ; Exchange on London, 50 80 paper. tical matters, in connection with certain revolu tionary pamphlets published in London. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Vienna, the 23d : " On Thursday last, as the Count de Chambord was returning to Frohsdorff from a hunting party, the horses took fright, and he was thrown from his carriage, at a slight distance from the place where four years ago he broke his leg. On this occasion the count received no injury." In consequence of the devastated condition of Hungary, the supply of provisions at Pesth is so short, that prices have reached an enormous height. Instead of trying to restore agriculture, or of en couraging imports, the Austrian Government fixes a maximum of prices. Intelligence from Frankfort states that negocia tions have been resumed between the Governments of Austria and Prussia, with a view of arriving at a settlement of the customs questions. It is stated especially that the states of the coalition are in clined to accede to the treaty of September for twelve years, but on condition that Prussia imme diately becomes a party to the treaty of commerce of Vienna. As a similar report was current some time ago, much reliance cannot be placed on the present statement, especially as the Breslau Gazette, of the 25th, states that the negociations between the two Governments had been suspended for a week, though, it adds, Count Buol Sehauenstein had addressed a note to the Prussian Cabinet in viting it to resume them. ITALY. The funeral obsequies of Gioberti were celebrated on the 23d in the church of the Corpus Domini, at Turin. The following inscription was placed over the church door : " To the priest Vincenzo Gioberti, the ornament and glory of the Civic Council of Turin the municipality of his native city, which, by its own grief, judges of that of all Italy, whose intelleotual and civil greatness was the object of unceasing study and affection of that profound philosopher and eloquent writer, offers ,up tribute of prayers and tears." a solemn The funeral procession left the church at 11 a.m. It was headed by half a battalion of National Guards ; the coffin was borne by forty National Guards, who had volunteered to perform this office. The Municipal Council and the staff of the Na tional Guard followed. The pall was held by the Mayor, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guards, the President of the Chamber of Deputies , and M. Gorresio of the Academy of Sciences. Depu tations of the Senate, -are Chamber of Deputies, the University, the Academy of Sciences, the working classes, the Italian refugees, and National Guard, brought up the rear. The insignia of the priestly office and of the degree of doctor were laid on the coffin. The streets and windows were crowded with spectators, quantities of flowers were showered all along upon the coffin, and costly bouquets were presented by the students and other bodies. Eighty ecclesiastics awaited the body at the churchyard, where, after due service performed in the chapel, it was entombed in the vault destined to it. Up wards of 20,000 persons were present in the church yard, but not the slightest disorder occurred. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock. Lord WODEHOUSE gave notice that he would to morrow put a question to the Government with respect to the subject of the Clergy Reserve in Canada. THE ENROLLED PENSIONERS. Lord PANMURE rose to put a question to the Go vernment with respect to the body of Enrolled Pensioners settled at Toronto. It would be in the recollection of the house that in the year 1843, Lord Hardinge, then Secretary-at-War, had thought it advantageous to the public services to enrol a body of pensioners for service in this country, to the number of 10,000, which he (Lord Panmure), when Secretary-at-War, had increased, with the consent of Parliament, to 30,000. The system was found to work so well, and the services of these men , so useful, that in 1847, Earl Grey at the Colonial-office, and himself at the War-office, had determined to extend the system to the Colonies, and bodies of en rolled pensioners had been sent out to New Zea land, Australia, Van Dieman's Land, and the Colonies. The conditions on which they were sent out were, that they should have a certain portion of land, with a house for each man ; conditions which he believed had been carried out except at Toronto, where there had been sent out a body ofpensioners to the number of 220, who he be lieved at present had not yet been settled. He wished to know whether it was true that these conditions had been carried out, and whether it was the intention of the Go vernment, if they could not be carried out, to make any compensation to the pensioners ? The Earl of DERBY said, that whatever might be his opinion of the original policy of the system of send ing out bodies of enrolled pensioners—and he must say he thought it very doubtful—yet certainly it was the inten tion of the Government to keep faith with these men, to fulfil, if possible, the conditions on which they had been sent out, or otherwise to make them such compen sation as they themselves might ,think sufficient. He could not help thinking that it would have been quite as well if the Government who had sent out these men to Toronto had taken pains first to ascertain whether there was sufficient land at the disposal of the Ordnance autho rities to settle them. It turned out that there were at Toronto only 400 acres disposable for this purpose, of which 270 were leased to the corporation, and 9 more were required by a railway company, the bill for which was passed by the Colonial Legislature. There were thus only about 120 acres disposable for the settlement of 220 men. The matter had been very anxiously con sidered by the Secretary for the Colonies, and he had no doubt but that at no very distant period a satisfactory arrangement would be made. After a few words from Lord PANMURE, the subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YEkERDAY). The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock.

By accounts from Lisbon of the 19th, we learn that the long expected list of the directors in Lisbon and London of the " Portuguese Railways Com pany," has at last been published in the Diario do Governo. The committee of directors on this side is composed of the Marquis of Louie, Count Far robo, Barons Almeida and Foscoa, and Messrs. Rio Tinto and Hislop. The London directors are Sir John Pelly, Captain Fitzmaurice, and Messrs. Sadleir, Blythe, Braine, Barry, Garrard, Kennard, and Strahan. The capital required for the first section of the projected line, viz., from Lisbon to Santarem, is 800,0001. in 40,000 shares of 201. each, the first instalment on each share being 31. Ten thousand shares are to be offered for sale in Portu gal ; the other 30,000 are reserved for the good of the people at home. On the 18th inst., the day of the Duke of Wel lington's funeral, the Portuguese ships of war and forts had their colours half-staff high, and the sen tinels mounted guard with reversed arms. Her Majesty's ship Inflexible likewise bad her colours lowered. GERMANY. The King of Prussia went on the 23d to Frank fort-on-the-Oder, to the funeral of General Von Thile, who was not only for many years Prime Minister under the late King, but also held that office under the present King till 1848. Several arrests were made at Mannheim on the 24th ; they are supposed to be connected with poli- PETITIONS. Mr. G. DITNCAiT presented a petition from the Guildry Incorporation of Dundee, stating that they are deeply interested in the completion of the trigonometri cal survey of Scotland, and praying that the six inch scale may be extended to Forfarshire. Mr. G. THOLIPSON presented a petition from a place in Scotland for the repeal of the Maynooth Gran THE DIVISION OF FRIDAY. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he wished to say a few words on a matter which was personal to himself. He stated before the division on Friday, that he should abstain from voting on the amendment of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, but after the division was taken on the original motion, he was unable to get out of the house, and therefore he was obliged to vote on the amendment. Mr. KEOGH also wished to say a few words on a point of order, connected with the division of last Fri day night. After the motion of the hon. and learned member had been considered, and the division had taken place upon it, a division, consequently, took place on the amendment of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, and whilst that division was being taken, there were some members of the house, including the hon. and learned Solicitor-General, the noble lord the member for West Sussex, and he thought also his hon. and gallant friend the member for Middlesex—concealed in a room behind the Speaker's chair. (A laugh.) It was not for him to say for what reason they were concealed there ; but, for the information of himself and other honourable members, he wished to know if that room was a place of legiti mate retreat for honourable members of the Govern ment, when they were not prepared to vote with the Government. (A laugh.) He wished to know if the honourable members to whom he had referred, ought not to have been brought to the table and compelled to vote. (A laugh.)) The SPEAKER said the rooms referred to had al ways been considered to be separated from the house, at least it was not within its division limits, and, there fore, the tellers could not compel members to leave it for the purpose of voting. POOR-RATE ASSESSMENTS ON REAL PROPERTY. In reply to Mr. MOFFATT, Sir J. TROLLOPE said the return ordered on the 7th of June last, respecting the amount assessed in the year 1852, on the different species of real property, was in preparation, and would contain a most comprehen sive digest of all the information which the hon. mem ber required. He hoped, as it would be most costly to the public, that it would satisfy the hon. member. (Hear.) NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. F. MACKENZIE, a new writ was issued for Lisburn, in the room of Sir J. E. Tennant, who had accepted the stewards hip of Northstead, county of York. UNANIMITY OF JURORS. Mr. PHILLIMORE asked the Attorney-General whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to bring forward any measure to render the unanimity of jurors unnecessary ? Sir F. THESIGER said it was not the intention of the Government to bring in such a measure. Mr. PHILLIMORE gave notice that after the recess he would ask for leave to bring in a bill to make the ver dict of three-fourths of a jury as binding as it was nw by the general unanimity of the whole jury. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. In reply to Mr. COLLIER, Mr. WALPOLE said the hon. member was wrong in supposing that a distinct commission had been appointed to inquire into the ecclesiastical courts ; it was only an extension of the Chancery Commission, by the addition of certain civilians, for the purpose of inquiring into the jurisdiction of all the courts. The Government proposed to bring in a large and comprehensive measure on the subject. COUNTY FRANCHISE. An HoN. MEMBER gave notice, on behalf of Mr. Locke King, that he intended to postpone his motion respecting the qualification for the county franchise, from Thursday next until after the Christmas holidays. EXTENSION OF THE FRANCHISE. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that immediately after the Christmas recess he should move the following resolution—" That it is the opinion of this house that the state of the representation of the people in Parliament demands immediate consideration with a view to an enlargement of the elective franchise, and the correction of those abuses which the Reform Act of 1832 intended to effect, but which it has failed to accomplish." (Hear, and laughter.) Mr. HUME gave notice that on Thursday next he should ask the Government whether they intended to Introduce any measures for the purpose of apportioning the number of voters to the extent of population. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that after Christ mas, he should move for leave to bring in a bill pro viding that the votes for members of Parliament should be taken by ballot. THE STAMP DUTIES ON NEWSPAPERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice that to morrow he would ask for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to stamp duties on newspapers. (Hear.) TREASURY MINUTE RESPECTING COFFEE. Mr. COWAN asked the Secretary to the Treasury ' (the Board of Inland Revenue having lately intimated to dealers in coffee, that no article whatever shall be allowed to be mixed with coffee previous to its sale), if it be intended that this order shall extend so as to pre vent the sale of a fluid used and known as the essence of coffee, two articles, at least, being indispensable for that preparation, namely, water and saccharine matter, as a conserve. Mr. HAMILTON said, the Treasury Minute did not apply to coffee when other ingredients were mixed with it with a view simply to its preservation. ILLNESS OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. Mr. A. PELLATT, asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether the Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, who are empowered, under the Act 5 and 6 Will. 4, to dispense with certain oaths, and to substitute declara tions in lieu thereof, in the Excise, Customs, Govern ment, and other Public Offices named therein, have used, and still continue to use, such powers ; and whether, in consequence, any and what benefit has resulted to her Majesty's service. Mr. WALPOLE said, the Chancellor of the Exche quer was too unwell to attend the house, and as he had not intimated to him what answer should be given to the question, it would be better for the hon. member to postpone it until some future occasion. BUDDHISM IN CEYLON. Sir H. INGLIS asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the connexion between the Queen's Government in Ceylon, and the idolatry of any part of her Majesty's subjects therein, be or be not severed : whether the custody of the Buddhist relic be or be not transferred to those who regard it as sacred ; whether an y act of the Queen's Government be or be not re quired to entitle the priest of a Buddhist temple to exer cise any function in respect to the property of s uch Buddhist temple ; and lastly, whether it be or be not the intention of her Mvjesty's Government to transfer to the Buddhist priests all the concerns of their own reli gion in Ceylon. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the su bject had occupied the attention of successive Administra tions, and had given rise to gr eat difficulty and embarrassment. In 1815 a conve ntion was agreed to by the British G overn ment, which declared the Bud dhist religion in v i o l a te, and gave protection to its priests, and he for one would be no party to breaking the terms of that convention, though some had said it would not be binding, as it had been entered into with idolaters.

A letter from St. Petersburgh states that on the 3d there were 57 new cases of cholera and 27 deaths. The number of cases under treatment had been re duced to 267. The New Prussian Gazette, under date of War saw, 17th, says :—" While the Customs' question is still awaiting solution in Germany, Russia is de veloping her prohibitive system on an immense scale. We will give an instance of it. Some gold smiths of Kelisch and Warsaw had imported from Germany not only the raw materials, but jewellery ready made ; and, notwithstanding the heavy duties which they had to pay, their speculation was a profitable one. From the Ist of January next, the goldsmiths will be compelled to send to a spe cial commission, established at Warsaw, all their metals, which will be melted down and stamped ; and henceforward they will not be allowed to use a ny metals that do not bear this stamp, so that all foreign objects of luxury will disappear from com merce. Any one offending against this order will be punished with a fine, and the articles will be confiscated." lONIAN ISLANDS. The Corfu Gazette of the 6th contains a notifica tion from the director of police of Cephalonia, an nouncing that the Lord High Commissioner, having seen with pleasure from the official reports he has received, that tranquillity has been restored in the island of Cephalonie, and that its inhabitants ap pear to be sensible of the necessity of respecting , the laws ; and having, moreover, received favour able accounts of the prisoners condemned by Court martial to various punishments, for their partici pation in the insurrection of 1849, has granted a full pardon to 17 of those prisoners, who have been immediately set at liberty. Of these seven had been condemned to imprisonment for life, one to the same punishment for 20, one for 14, seven for 10, and one for seven years. As to the four pri soners still remaining, one, being deranged, is to be sent to the lunatic asylum at Corfu ; the other three have been pardoned on condition of their leaving the lonian States within a fortnight.

The United States mail steamer Atlantic arrived at New York on the 1 5 th. The Asia, hence for New York, was passed on the 18th. The steamer City of Glasgow, arrived at Philadelphia on the 14th. The Africa's advices are devoid of interest. The Spanish Government had opened a credit of 100,000$ on behalf of the sufferers by the earthquake at St. Jago. Cholera was very prevalent at St. Jago.

A Treatise on, the Law and Practice of Copyhold Enfranchisement ; with all the Statutes, Forms, and a copious Index. G EORGE -10 ..37 vr EORGE WINGROVE Coop, of the Middle Temple, Barrister, Author of Treatises on " Rights of Common," "Inclo sures," " Agne London, Tenancies," &c. Stevens and Norton. 1852. Mr. Wingrove Cooke has made the subject of Agricultural Law Reform s very much his own, and has had no small share i n the prepara ti on o f th e Acts by which they have b een carr i e d ou t. Th e plan of this work is to make the Copyhold Enfran chisement Acts comprehensible, and .to enable every country attorney thoroughly to use the w h o le machinery. In one hundred and sixty pages the author gives an fin? epito zie of the whole law relating to manors , ) fees, heriots, services,-and all other incidents to his subject. He then prints the four statutes at length, annotating every clause and coll a ti n g each provisio n . A very copious Index completes the work. The Lord or Steward of a manor, or the Enfran chising Copyholder who does will certain ly be taken at buy and read this book, at a disadvantage by him who has done so. The Marvels of Science. By S. W. Fullom. Secon edition. Colburn. It is not surpris in g that thi s wor k h s so rapidly reached a second e dition, wh en we ca ll to a mind the interest and i mpor tance of its subject, and the very delightful manner in which that subject is treated. In a style most vivid, and even eloquent, the many ma rvels of scien ce are here set before us in a way that cannot fail at once imagination to impress the of the enthusiastic, and to enlighten the intellect of the uninformed. A mere enumeration of some of the subjects intro duced in this volume, wili be sufficient to indicate its important and int erestin g character. The mar vels of the celestial world, the sun, the stars, the comets, and the mil k Y way first astonish, as at every fresh investigation they cannot fail more and more to astonish the inquirer. Electricity, the thermometer, the prism, the steam-en g ine, the rain bow, the tides, the various wonders of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and the human com plexion, and the race of man ; these are only some among the wonders of which Mr. Fullom speaks. He has given, moreover, no dry epitome of facts, and yet he h as cont rived to introduce into his very effective descriptions suff i cient informa tion to render the " marvels" more comprehensible , and consequently more attractive to those general readers who are not already deeply versed in the mysteries of science. We can imagine no more delightful introduction to that study than is afforded by this charming work, while from those who, having already passed the threshold, can better appreciate the unexplored wonders of the realms of knowledge. Mr. Fullom's treatise cannot fail to receive its due meed of admiring commenda tion. vernment and the Buddhist idol had been discontinued, and the custody of the relic was left with the Buddhists themselves. However, instead of giving the 3001., which the Government has hitherto allowed to the Bud dhist priests, he proposed that they should have compen sation in the shape of land to an equivalent value. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to make one observation upon this answer. Mr. GOULBURN rose to order. It was exceedingly objectionable to have observations made upon answers to questions. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished simply to ask whether the right hon. gentleman was prepared to lay the papers re lating to this subject on the table Sir J. PAKINGTON had no objections whatever to produce the documents. THE CAPE. In reply to Mr. F. PEEL, Sir J. PAKINGTON entered into some explanation of the nature of the papers which he intended to lay be fore the house on the subject of the franchise in the Cape , N ; 170/117.-7% ~, of the voters and their numbers on the register , against several of these names certain sums were mark indicating, no doubt, the amount they had received, 1-. l _ were about to receive, for their votes. They furthe found a letter, to which he must call attention. This w as„ the letter : "A good and safe man, with judgment : '' tzriktJAS.S.V and quickness, is wanted immediately at Derby. I suppose that you cannot leave your own place ; if not, send some one whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to Derby on receiving this and find the County Tavern, in the centre of the town. Send his card to Cox, Brothers, and Co., Lead Works, as coming from Chester. That will be enough.—Yours, W. B.—Mon day." Besides this, the police found upon the man two cards, similar to the one he held in his hand, which had been delivered by Radford to Flewker, with the address of "J. Morgan, Shrewsbury." This man was brought before the magistrates, and when there he made no secret of the business he had been engaged upon — he admitted frankly that the book did contain the names of voters who had received sums of money from him, and others who were yet to be paid, and he added, " after all it is but a very small affair, that the voters were satisfied with 2/. or 3/. a piece, but at Shrewsbury two votes would be worth as much as 20 in Derby." (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) There was one thing he (Sir A. Cockburn) thought perfectly clear from this statement—that this man Morgan was at the time engaged in corrupting the voters at Derby by means of bribery. (Hear, hear.) That was a point which admitted of no doubt. (Cheers.) But then came the far more important and the more painful question. How far, on the evidence of this man, the right hon. gentle man the Secretary at War was to be considered as hav ing been accessory to this work of corruption ? This letter he had read, had been sworn to be in the hand writing of the right hon. gentleman. It was found in an envelope addressed to Mr. John Frail, clerk of the course, Shrewsbury, and bore the impress of the seal and postmark which, to some extent, went to show toad the letter was a genuine one. (Cheers.) But beyond this, the right hon. gentleman had never denied that the letter w.l.s genuine, and he took it that it must be assumed to be so. And, if so, how far did the letter implicate the right hon. gentleman ? One • thing cannot fail to strike the most casual observer. That was, that this man went to the place, where he was committing this bribery, by the direction and at the instance of this letter of the right hon. gentleman's. (Hear.) The letter, it would be observed, contained a course of explicit directions, and it would be found that Morgan, the briber, complied with those directions so given, to the most minute'! particular. The letter di rected that a man should be sent from Shrewsbury to Derby immediately on its being received. Now, the letter was dated on the Monday and not the Tuesday morning. Morgan was seen on the platform of the railway station at Shrewsbury, ready to start by the 8 o'clock train. That train, however, did not go by way of Stafford, and he was obliged to wait for a later tram, which was the earliest that would arrive at Derby. The next direction was that that he should go to the County Tavern, which he would find in the centre of the town ' • and on his arrival went immediately and estab lished himself there, and the County Tavern became the scene of acting, and the place where the bribery was carried on. Next, the man was directed to send his card to Cox, Brothers, and Co., lead works. On this point he had the statement of the landlord of the inn, given with great reluctance, for the man was a staunch partisan, and not willing to give evidence against his party if he .could avoid it ; but he stated that no sooner had Morgan arrived at the inn, than he gave a card to him to take to Mr. Cox, at the lead works, which he gave to the ostler, who delivered it to Cox. Then the letter directed that the card should bear the address " Chester," and on the card which he (Sir Alexander Cockburn) had in his hand, and which, in all human pro bility, was the one sent to the lead works—on that card, as well as on the one seized by the police, there was the address, " Chester." All the directions, then, were obeyed to the very letter. Another observation on this part of the case. It was quite impossible that this letter could have been written by the right hon. gentle man without previous concert with the parties at Derby—that was with Radford and the others. In the first place, the right honourable gentleman could not himself have known the County Tavern, or that it was a place that would afford the necessary facilities ; but Radford, it could be shown, was a gene ral frequenter of that tavern. Nor was it likely the writer of the letter would have directed the man to send the card to Mr. Cox, at the lead works, on his arrival, unless there had been some preconcerted arrangement by which the card, on being sent there, would be certain to do its office. He next turned to the letter, to see if it threw any light on the object for which the man was to be sent from Shrewsbury to Derby, and for which all this machinery was set in action. And the first thing that struck him, as showing the animus of the writer, wa s—for what legitimate purpose was a perfect stranger to be sent all the way from Shrewsbury to Derby—a dis tance of seventy miles ? If a safe man for the election was all that was required, could no such man be found in Derby, or in any of the neighbouring towns ? The experience which they have all had in the cases in which systematic bribery had been brought to light must have made them acquainted with the fact that when wholesale bribery is about to take place, it was always a stranger that was brought into play. The presence of a stranger was always less suspicious, and if you succeeded in cutting off the trail, detection was less likely to follow, and was sometimes impossible. Any article would, there fore, be used for cutting off the trail in a case like this. Then came the next question—why was a false address used ? (Hear, hear.) Every one knew that if a stranger could be got for the purpose of bribery, and he could leave the place without leaving any trace behind him, detection was so far less easy. No one wanted a false address for a legitimate purpose. If you wanted, after a man had done his work, to cut off all chances of following him, then one of the means would be for him to give a false address. He (Sir A. Cockburn) then asked for what purpose did this man give a false address ? Nothing was so common as for a guilty man to endeavour to shroud himself from detection by shrinking from creating ordinary suspicion, and he could only say that if the right hon. gentleman laboured under any suspicion, he had only himself to thank for having been accused of a guilty purpose. He (Sir A. Cockburn) looked back on all this as part of a combination ; and he would take the liberty of putting this case : He had himself assisted in the administration of justice, and he saw before and around him a number of legal friends who were equally accustomed to do so ; and, at the same time, he ob served many hon. gentlemen, who, in different districts of the country, were in the habit f assisting in the admi nistration of criminal justice ; and he would put to them the case of a man taken, flagrante delicto, and on him was found a'letter directing him to a certain place, directing him what to do when he got there, and putting him in communication with a person who was to instruct him with regard to the result of the work he was about to do, and directing him to assume a disguise to prevent detec tion ; and if on a criminal trial the party writing the letter was charged with being an accessory before the fact, would it not be the duty of a judge to tell the jury that such facts, unanswered and unexplained, was evi dence of complicity ? He said only if unanswered or unexplained ! Heaven forbid that he should say that the present case was not capable of being answered or ex plained ; all he meant to say was, that it demanded in quiry. In his long professional experience he had often seen how appearances might deceive, and how often, in what seemed an irresistible and overwhelming case, the introduction of new facts put the matter in a new light. He did not say that this was not such a case, but he did say that it was a case which demanded sifting and inquiry, and that the public mind would not be satisfied without such an inquiry. (Hear.) But for the circumstances to which he was now about to advert, he should leave the case here, satisfied that he had done enough to induce the house think it worthy of an inquiry. But there were other circumstances which rendered in ne cessary to go further. The right. hon. gentleman had spoken out, and declared at a meeting of his constituents that the facts which he had stated were the result of a conspiracy and infamous fraud, and that the case a gainst him was supported by fraud and perjury ; and he (Sir A• Cockburn) had heard from all quarters that the friends of the right hon. gentleman declared that the letter found on Morgan, even if genuine, had reference not to the election of 1852, but to a prior election, and was written when he was not fettered with the responsibi lities of office, "' and therefore it was unfair and un generous to visit him with the consequencepanldf staalet hypothesis were true, and if this wa s ould be u n i o n a w o r l d o r, h h i y s o w f e h n e transaction, he agreed that it ,a house to rake it up. (Hear.) api:h li e ed: o. t o o se, b eh y re the fe.lt i p t we in cumbenttai-a he (Sir! A.

He had to satisfy his own mind on the point, and he found that materials were not wanting to guide him in the investi gation, for the charge of conspiracy having been con cocted, had put every one in Derby on his Mr. Flewker, and those who had adoptedhs mettle. is infor mation, were anxious to throwlight a nd to obtain informatio n in on the matter, order the letter which was Morgan'ser to show whether re ferred to the election of 1852 or possession appeared a prior election. had found on inquiry th at i t that the eright hon. gentleman had corresponded wi th Mr. Flewker on a previous occasion with regard to an election at Derby , but he was satisfied that the letter in question had no reference to any election previous to 1848. It app eared that the right honourable gentleman had not interfered in the election for Derby in 1847, and that Mr. Frail was a stranger to that borough so far as e lectioneering matters were concerned, till 1848. It was important to make this clear, and he should be able to do so by the correspondence of the right hon. gentleman himself. Mr. Strutt and Mr. Gower were returned for Derby in 1847, and a petition was presented against their return. Th e right hon. gentleman was applied to for his assistance in carrying out that petition, and he wrote to Mr. Flewker on the 21st of Novem ber, 1849 --" Ashbury-park.— Dear sir, I received your letter in London yes terday, just as I was starting. I should think it a good thing, indeed, to unseat Mr. Strutt for Derby." He (Sr A. Cockburn) did not complain of that. They were all influenced by kindly and amiable feelings to wards each other ; but when they came to an election they were not over nice. The letter went on—" But I fear that I have not the means of accepting your pro posal, as I ha ve not funds at my disposal, just after the expenditure attending a general election, to pay the costs of the petition." He (Sir A. Cockburn) supposed that, after this election, considering the number of petitions, the funds were more flourishing. (Hear.) "If you get up a case, and a subscription for the purpose, I can pro mise a subscription of 100/. ; but I cannot do more. I TENANT RIGHT. In reply to a question, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said the Tenant-Right Bills of the Government would be printed and ready for delivery to-morrow. DERBY ELECTION. On the order of the day for the consideration of the petition of the inhabitant householders of Derby on the subject of the last election, Sir A. COCKBURN rose to bring under the atten tion of the house the allegation of the petitioners. He said they alleged that gross and profligate bribery had been • carried on at the last election, and with that bribery a member of her Majesty's Government was closely connected. He should abstain as much as possible from saying anything that was unbecoming a gentleman or at all hurtful to the feelings of the right hon. gentle man to whom the petitioners referred. The hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded to relate the circum stances connected with the last election, and in doing so, reminded the house that until recently, Derby was one of the strongholds of liberalism, but at the last election Mr. Horsfall, who had not been previously associated with the borough, entered the field on the part of the Tory interest. At the previous elec tion a solicitor of the town named Lewis, had succeeded in unseating on petition the two liberal candidates ; but, greatly to his annoyance, he found, when success was accomplished, that he was 7001. out of pocket, and, as none of his Tory friends were disposed to come forward with the necessary funds to reimburse him, he deter mined to have nothing to do with the last election. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Now, it was generally ad mitted that nothing made a man so sore as losing money —(" hear," and a laugh)—and at the last election this Mr. Flewker refused to act as Mr. Horsfall's agent, or to take any part in the affair. His services, however ; were much desired, and a correspondence took place be tween Mr. Huish, the chairman of Mr. Horsfall's com mittee, and Mr. Flewker, which at the close assumed rather an angry tone, and the latter afterwards sent a statement of the reasons which had induced him to re fuse to act with the conservatives as he had hitherto done to a newspaper, which, however, was not inserted. At the very eve of the election, however, a person of the name of Radford made a last effort to induce Flewker to act for the conservatives, and succeeded. At the in terview which took place between them, Radford com municated to Flewker important facts as to the prepara tions which had been made to carry the election by means of money. He told him that a stranger was in the town, located at the County Tavern, and that he was to go to that man, who was prepared with the means to carry on the work, and a card was given to him, which card he (Sir A. Cockburn) had in his hand, bearing the address of "T. Morgan, Chester." Flewker, with this card, went to the County Tavern, and was admitted to a private room, where the man was. He told this man, who was a perfect stranger to him, that he had come from Mr. Radford, and produced the card. The man said it was all right ; and in some conver sation that occurred, Flewker having alluded to the supposed fact that the former had come from Chester, he said, " No, I don't come from Chester, but from Shrewsbury, from Mr. Frail." He then shewed a letter to Flewker, who, the moment he saw it, said, "that is the writing of Major Beresford." That was all that passed, except that the man explained the arrangements he had made, and the manner in which he proposed to carry on the business. Flewker then saw Radford, and told him that the man had not come from Chester, but from Shrewsbury. " Oh, its all right," said Radford ; "he knows what he has to do, and I have promised him 1001. when the work is done." This conversation having taken place. Radford proceeded to request Flewker to take on himself a mission of great import ance : that was to go to Nottingham for a purpose he (Sir A. Cockburn) would state. Now, at Nottingham there was a man living named -Hibbert, who had ob tained great celebrity in election matters. This person was at the head of an organised gang of men who were paid by him, and took their orders from him, and had acquired great notoriety for their skill in managing election matters. (Hear, hear.) At Derby there was an attorney of the name of Huish, who acted as Mr. Horsfall's agent, under his solicitor Mr. Forshawe. Huish and Radford, impressed with the importance of obtaining the assistance of Hibbert and his men at the election, sent a man named Simpson to Nottingham, to an attorney there of the name of Bowley, to negotiate tforHibbert's services ; but Bewley, having heard some rumours of what was going on at Derby, thought it better to have nothing to do with the matter, and sug gested he should go himself to Hibbert. Thereupon Huish wrote to that person requesting him to come to Derby with his men ; but no answer being received, Radford supposed there might have been some misunder standing between Huish and Hibbert, and Flewker was sent over to Nottingham. There he saw Hibbert, who told him he had received the letter from Huish, but would not come for that ; but as Radford would undertake to see him paid, he would come over to Derby and do the best he could. Hibbert and his men could not start for Derby on the same day, and in the meantime Flewker saw a person of the name of Cox—a partisan of the liberal party—and stated to him what had taken place. He went to the town clerk, got an introduction to Mr. Moss, the chairman of the liberal committee, and at an interview with him detailed the facts he had learned. After this he remained in the town, and became the means of communication between Huish and Morgan. Flewker, on returning from Derby proceeded to Rad ford, and told him he had secured the services of Hib bert and his men. He saw Radford coming out of a door, in company with a man named Lund, a cattle dealer ; and having told him that he had brought over Hibbert, received directions from him about watching an inn in the interest of the liberal party which commanded a view of the County Tavern. He afterwards went to the County Tavern, and while he was there Lund came in and said he had a private matter to speak to Morgan about. When Lund came out of Morgan's room Flewker went in, and Morgan said to him, "that person who has just left is a friend of Rad ford's, and has brought me the 'needful.' " While Flewker was in Morgan's room a man named Rice came in to see about certain lists of voters, i. e., lists contain ing the names of those persons who were supposed to be open to pecuniary influence. Morgan had complained that the two lists with which he had been furnished were not sufficiently numerous. Rice, on coming into the room, said he understood there was so me ob j ection to the lists which had been made out, and asked what it was. Morgan showed him the lists. Rice then lists, "There is some mistake ; thes e are not thv.ight men- I will bring you the right li sts by-and-bye. He tioned these circumstances, as he thought it right the right hon. gentleman whose conduct was implicated should know the nature of the evidenee and the names of the parties furnishing it. He had now brought the proceedings to the close of the evening of the Wednes day, the eve of the nomination. On the morning of Thurs day Flewker went to the County Tavern, and saw Mor gan, who said to him that he would be obliged if he would go to Mr. Radford, and tell him that Lund had only brought 2001., which was not enough to win with, and to say to him (Radford) that he (Morgan) wanted some more " horse nails." (A laugh.) It should be stated that orders were given at the tavern that no man was to be admitted to Morgan's room except such as gave cer tain signals and uttered certain pass words to the man who kept the door, the signal being the putting the fingers to the mouth or chin in some particular form, and the pass-words to be uttered were, " It is all right ; Mr. Radford has sent me." Morgan's message, that more "horse nails " were wanted, was taken to Mr. Radford, but that gentleman being unwell, and not up, it was de livered by Flewker to a woman servant, who took it up stairs to her master. Cox, the partner of Forshawe, was present at the time the answer to the message was brought back by the servant " that the horse-nhalls should be sent, and that the gentleman who €l ,, them would be with him (Mr. Radford) all day. About two hours after, Flewker saw Rag ° , r a d; who told him that "it was all right, the money n. been sent." All these circumstances w.ner.egctoomcmouxnoif cated by Flewker in the course of the o Nottingham, and by him, with the c l ni n s o e e o i n m t i m e of it F te l e e . wk H er e , to Moss, the chairman of the libera k ns er— he (Sir A. Cockburn) was not t . he there could be no doubt that m a re ll theese defend t ran F a c l e t i w o was acting a most unworthy part,and was betraying the confidence of his party, actuated by motives which none could approve, viz., vindictiveness and his cupidity. (Hear, hear.) Still that w as no reason to reject evidence, for they all knew that c rime was to often prevented means of dan o d criminals arreste d and brought justice by information obtained from parties whose motives in fur nishing such information it was impossible to approve. The evidence of the informer, the spy, and the accom plice, was justly viewed with suspicion and distrust ; but no prudent man would refuse to avail himself of such evidence, especially when supported by the corroborative testimony of others by whom the offenders were caught in fiagrante delicto. Well, Mr. Moss h a ving this information, and being in p ossess i on of the signal and the watchword, obtained the assistance of the police and proceeded to the County Tavern, to Morgan's room. They found the door guar d e d b y a an who was a stran g er to them, and who p u t ou t hi s h an d to pre vent their going in ; but, on their giving the signal and pronouncing the password, the door was opened and they were admitted. They found Morgan in the room and apprehended him, and upon him they found 2651. in gold and 40/. in notes, including 11. to 101. notes. On the table at which Morgan was sitting, and immediately before him, was a book, in which was entered the names Slit I pi 4 - 0 - 100 100 100 34 5 80 2 32 3 87 51 50 105 i 98 43i 3 13i I 72 1 83 2 20 20 338 10 20 MIN. •~LQ4 ~. e 0
