IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS--(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the proprietors of a patent flour mill, playing that the merits of their economical invention might be inquired into, and that it might be applied to the use of the army and navy, The Earl of CLARENDON presented a petition from certain Presbyterian clergymen in Ireland, in reference to the present system of National Education in Ireland, The noble earl took the opportunity of stating that con siderable apprehension had been excited in Ireland by a speech made by the noble lord at the head of the Go vernment in th e course o f t h e l as t sess i on th a t some in tention existed in his mind to introduce some change in the existing system of national education. He was bound to say that no such apprehension ever existed in his ini nci, and he believed that by this time it had been en tirely removed from the minds even of the petitioners, chiesy in consequence of the speech lately made by the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland. The Earl of DERBY said that the attention of him self, and of his noble friend at the head of the Irish Go vernment had been directed to this subject during the recess, and the determination which had been come to Y's-3 that it wou l d not b e exped i ent to ma k e auy c h ange 111 the present system. FREE TRADE. , The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that he s hould, on a convenient day, move the adoption of a re- Zob , ttion with respect to free trade similar to that which 1 3 46, lately been adopted in the other house. He had t ri in hopes that the Government would have under -1.„' -en the duty ; but, as they had not done so, he should he it upon himself, thinking it due to the honour of this t i p s e , as well as to the magnitude of the question u, that th e matter s h ou ld b e su b m i t t e d t o the deli erate judgme n te o f th e i r L or d s hip s ' H ous e. He would eh 1 ' now definitely fix the day, but if Monday would suit u l c onvenience of noble lords opposite, he would be q uit e read y to take it on that day. The Earl of DERBY said that after the announce mentlent which h e h a d ma d e t h e ot h er night that no public i nsines s would be brought before the house, many noble i„ °r l hart left t own ; an d if th e no bl e marqu i s p ersevere d t ue motion, h e th oug h t su ffi c i en t ti me oug ht t o b e allowed or them to return. So far as his own convenience was con ewearned Monday would suit him perfectly well. He w 8 perfectly willing to adopt such a resolution as b°lad definitively acknowledge the free trade system ; ey. h he Was not prepared to call upon noble lords who, Willing to adhere to the free trade system, were 21 disposed to acquiesce in the original policy of the ,I'lsure of 1846. Some such resol-ition as this, he ught, might be acquiesced in by all sides of the th e That That this house thankfully acknowledges , general prosperity of the country, and recog `ng the evils of frequent change in the financial la Ys er tern of th e country, is prepare d t o accept and ad a e to the commerc i a l s y s t e m recently established, would view with regard any attempt to disturb. " would, however, be quite willing to confer with the 0; marquis o n th e su bject, so as to avoid that Nc-ran --ng about words which had been so little creditable in the other house Ce MARQUIS OF CLANRICARDE said, he the . noble earl to adopt the r same resolution as that ul eh had been adopted in the other house. 11 The EARL OF DERBY s uggested that the noble „i_a.quis Th should defe r pl ac i ng hi s no ti c e on the paper bum , y, ua when perhaps some arrangement would " 3 Com e to as to the words. CANADA CLERGY RESERVES.

CITY OF CORK ELECTION. f r The EARL of DONOGHMORE presented a petition 033 1 the city of Cork complaining of certain practices at the late election. After a few words from Lord Bandon, Lord Mont eagle, and the Earl of Derby, the petition was ordered to be laid on the table. RELIGIOUS TESTS IN THE SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES. In answer to the Duke of ARGYLE, The Earl of DERBY said that he could not pledge 9.litself that it was the intention of the Government to totroduce a bill to abolish the religious tests taken by Professors in the Scotch universities. Their lordships then adjourned. OUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS EVENING.) the SPEAKER took the chair at a few - minutes - to four ELECTION PETITIONS. irle SPEAKER intimated that the Examiner of Re "gnizanees had reported that the recognizances of the Petitioners against the returns for Clitheroe, Chatham, Stoke-upon-Trent, and Wigan, were unobjec tukaable.

ABOLITION OF DUTIES ON BUTTER, CHEESE, &c. Mr. THORNLEY, on behalf of Mr. Ewart, post poned that gentleman's motion for the repeal of the du ties on butter, cheese, and eggs, for Thursday next un til this day fortnight. COLLECTION OF LOCAL TAXES IN IRELAND Mr. J. BALL asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to introduce, during the present session, any measure for amending the laws relating to the collection of the local taxes in Ireland. Lord NAAS said it was not the intention of the Go vernment to introduce a bill relating to the collection of the local taxes in Ireland,- observing, that they hardly thought it prudent to deal with that subject until they saw the effect of the General Valuation Act which was passed last session. MINISTERS' MONEY IN IRELAND. After a large number of petitions had been presented from various places in Ireland praying for the repeal of Ministers' Money in Ireland, Mr. FAGAN rose to move—" That this house will, upon Thursday next, resolve itself into a committee, to take into consideration the law relating to the rate or tax called Ministers' Money, in Ireland, with the view to repeal so much thereof as relates to the said rate or tax ; and further to take into consideration the act 3 and 4 Will. IV., c. 37, called the Church Temporalities Act, for the purpose of amending the same, so as to provide thereby a substitute out of the revenues of the Ecclesias tical Commissioners as a provision for the Protestant ministers in certain corporate towns in Ireland, in lieu of the annual sums now received by them under and by virtue of the act 17 and 18, Charles 11., c. 7." He had so often brought this subject forward in a former Parliament that it was hardly necessary for him to detain the house with any lengthened statement ; but there were several new members in the house who were no doubt quite ignorant of the merits of the case, and he must therefore, to some extent, go over the ground a g ain. He had no desire to rob the Established Church of any of its just revenues, nor did he wish to aim a blow at that Church through this motion. Those who received the tax were equally as much opposed to it as himself, and they were joined with him in endeavouring to get it abolished. It yielded some thing like 15,0001., and was imposed upon a num ber of corporate towns in Ireland, the inhabitants of which were Roman Catholics. It was raised upon an obsolete valuation, while, -from the change of circumstances which taken place since it was established, more than a century ago, it fell upon the poor in an unjust proportion compared with the rich ; for instance, in Cork where the rich portion of the city only paid upon a valuation of 8401. a-yea; the poorer portion had to pay upon 3001., and to show the injustice of this, he need only mention that under the poor law valuation the latter paid upon 6,000/. a-year, while the former had to pay upon 30,0001. a-year. (Hear, hear.) When he brought this subject forward before, he was met with the assertion that the in justice of the tax could be got rid of by remov ing it from the shoulders of the occupier to the owner of the house to be levied in the shape of a rent charge, but in every phase the tax was too objectionable to admit of its continuance in any form. The report of the select committee appointed in 1848, had reported against the tax while the present Prime Minister, when he was Secretary for Ireland, denounced a similar impost in strong and eloquent language. But there was an ad ditional reason for his success on this occasion. The noble lord the member for the City of London, when he was in office, promised to introduce a measure for the abolition of this tax, and he called upon the noble lord to show that he was in earnest then by voting for this motion. The revenue of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, so far as the Irish Church was concerned, had increased upwards of 20,0001. since 1848, when the select com mittee recommended the abolition of this tax, and he must therefore insist that no difficulty could possibly arise in finding a substitute for this tax. (Ee:,-,r, hear.) But if the house would only grant him this comniti,ee, he was prepared to show how the income of the commis sioners could be still further increased, and this he thought was an additional reason why the house ought to adopt his resolution. He had now done ; he had shown to the house that the Protestant clergy were op posed to the tax, that a committee of the house had recommended its abolition, and that one side of the house had pledged itself to remove it, and he now called upon the house to adopt the resolution, and thus carry out the recommendation of her Majesty to legislate for Ireland in a liberal spirit. (Hear, hear.) The motion having been seconded, Mr. WALPOLE thanked the honourable member for the temperate manner in which he had brought forward the subject. There could be no doubt that the tax which the motion referred to was highly objectionable in many points of view. It was levied upon gan unjust principle, and the Protestant clergy:who received it were as much opposed to it as the Roman Catholics who paid it. (Hear, hear.) That he thought was a strong circumstance in favour of its removal, and the house had to consider how it could be abolished. f this was simply an abstract motion, pledging the . _ house to abolish the tax in its present shape, he perhaps should have found no objection ; but it unfortunately went further, and required the house to resolve that on a future day it would go into a committee of the whole house for the iiiirp — ose of considering of - a substitute. There was no question that the tax was levied in an objectionable mode, but to remove it on that ac count, without providing a substitute for it, would be grossly unjust, and before the house should consent to its abolition they should be satisfied that the tax could be provided for through some other means. Cer tainly, the funds in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners would not be available for such a pur pose, but if they were he doubted very much whether it would be right to use them in that manner. The funds possessed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were obtained from taxes that were levied upon the Protestant clergy, and the house would, therefore, per ceive that, if their suggestions were adopted, the effect of it would be to deprive one portion of the Irish clergy of their income, and to tax another portion to provide a substitute for it. (Hear, hear.) Still, he thought something ought to be done for the purpose of re moving the injustice and inequalities of the impost. (Hear, — hear.) He was now in communication with the Lord-Lieutenant upon this very subject, and if the motion was withdrawn, he would pledge himself that after the recess the matter should be again brought for ward by the Government in the shape of a pledge. He would, therefore, not negative the motion, but simply move the previous question by way of amendment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Serjeant MURPHY said the pledge of the right hon. gentleman was too indefinite for him. He had long been connected with the question, and over and over again had he pointed out the injustice and inequality of this tax, after receiving pledges from the Government of the day that the matter should be looked into, and the evil removed, if it could possibly be done, and never find ing that such pledges wcre ever redeemed. He must, therefore, press the right hon. gentleman opposite for something more definite than the faint pledge he had undertaken to give. The annuity tax in in Scotland was a somewhat similar impost to this minister's money ; and since a remedy had been found for the removal of the injustice in Edinburgh, he could see no reason why a remedy could not be discovered for Ireland. (Hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was not in the house to-night, and it may be, therefore, presumed that he has not recovered from his indisposition. No question was put to the Government as to whether the financial state ment would be made on Friday, the day which the Chancellor of the Exchequer said on Tuesday, he thought would be the most convenient to select for the purpose ; and the probability is, that the right hon. gentleman's Budget will not be developed to the house until next week. It was mentioned in the lobbies, to-night, that his illness was not of a very serious description, having only been occasioned by a slight attack of influenza. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was operated in with reluctance for home consumption, and in some cases the rates accepted were rather under those of Friday, although there was not a large supply. Of Borbadoes 200 hhds at auction were only in part dis posed of at barely previous valuations, fine yellow went at 38s 6d to 40s, and mid to good 36s to 38s per cwt. Total preparations are only 300 hhds, &c. REFINED.—There is yet a reluctance to operate in re fined sugar for home consumption, and supply being plentiful, prices incline downwards, especially for inferior qualities. The rates taken for brown lumps have been 44s to 44s 6d; Titlers, common to fine, 44s 6d to 495, double 49s 6d to 50s ; Hambro loaves 45s to 49s 6d, and standard lumps 46s to 45s 6d. For forward delivery there are several buyers rather under present terms. To-day home dealers were reluctant to operate in refined sugar, and the rates taken for brown lumps were 445, and low to fine grocery 44s 6d to 47s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar is still wanted for shipping, at previous prices. _ MAIIRITIIIS.-There is no further decline, supply being less than previously, fine yellow at 36s 6d to 38s 6d, good 35s to 365, low to mid 33s to 34s 6d, good to fine brown 30s 6d to 32s 6d, low to mid 27s 6d to 30s, common to fine grey 31s to 375, grainy brown 33s to 355, yellow 36s to 425, and white 43s to 47s per cwt. Stock differs little from last season. This afternoon Mauritius Sugar attracted little attention, and prices declined 6d per cwt for inferior and brown. At auction 7,065 bags were sold, good to fine yellow went at 35s to 36s 6d, mid 33s 6d to 34s 6d, low 32s 6d to 335, good to fine brown 30s to 325, low to mid 27s to 29s 6d, very inferior 25s to 26s 6d, and common to fine refining 31s to 36s per cwt: EAST INDIA.-This afternoon there was a reluctance to operate in Bengal sugar, yet lower rates were not ac cepted.

The committee of the Corps Legislatif sat on Sunday, and continued to examine and certify the returns of votes on the plebiscite. 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 Press - e, 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 th ere h as b een 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 do 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)." 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— tiviitrb Mbitions CREWE STEEPLECHASES (THIS DAY.) Benedict Clatterbox . Nine ran.

By GEORGE WINGROVE COOKE, of the Middle Temple, Barrister , , Author of Treatises on " Rights of Common," "Inclo sures," " Agricultural Tenancies," &c. Stevens and Norton. London, 1852. Mr. Wingrove Cooke has made the . subject of Agricultural Law Reforms very much his own, and has had no small share in the preparation of the Acts by which they have been carried out. The plan of this work is to make the Copyhold Enfran chisement Acts comprehensible, and to enable every country attorney thoroughly to use the whole machinery. In one hundred and sixty pages the author gives an epitome of the whole law relating to manors, fines, fees, heriots, services, and all other incidents to his subject. He then prints the four statutes at length, axinotapng every clause and collating each provision. A very copious Index completes the work. The Lord or Steward of a manor, or the Enfran chising Copyholder who does not buy and read this book, will certainly be taken at a disadvantage 17 him who has done so. The Marvels of Science. By S. W. Fullom. Secon edition. Colburn. It is not surprising that this work has so rapidlY reached a second edition, when we call to mind the interest and importance of its subject, and the very delightful manner in which that subject is treated. In a style most vivid, and even eloquent, the many marvels of science are here set before us in a way that cannot fail at once to impress the imagination of the enthusiastic, and to enlighten the intellect of the uninformed. A mere enumeration ,willme of the subjects intro duced in this volume, be sufficient to indicate its important and interesting c haracter. The mar vels of the celestial world, the sun, the stars, the comets, and the milky 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-engine, the rain bow, the tides, the various wonders of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and the hum an com plexion, and the race of man ; these are only some a mong the wonders of which M r . F awn speaks. He has given, moreover, no dry ep it ome of facts, and yet he has contrived to introdu ce i n t o his very effective descriptions sufficient informa tion to render the " marvels"more comprehe n sibl e , a nd consequently more attractiv e to those general readers who are not already mysteries of science. deeply versed in the Weo 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 tion. commonda- IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY). (Continued from our Third Edition of last night.) Sir A. COCKBURN having explained to the house the discovery, at the County Tavern, Derby, o the letter signed "W. 8.," proceeded to say—. 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 that the letter was a genuine one. (Cheers.) But beyond this, the right hon. gentleman had never denied that the letter was 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 minutel 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 train, 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 di rec ti ons , t h en , 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 gen tl eman 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 th e wr i ter, was—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 of assisting in the admi nistration of criminal justice ; and he would put to them the case of a man taken, flagrante de2icto, 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 1 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 demandedit ehe had often in quiry. In his long professional e what seemed an irresistible seen how appearances .. mitihglhetadnedceoivxleervv,enahneericmhionwg case,often, thine introduction of new facts put the matter in a new light. He did not say that thi s was not such a case, but he did saywhich demanded sifting and inqui ry, n would not be satisfied with ou t such an which inquiry. (Hear.) But for the circumst ances t public mind case wasnow about to advert, he s h ou ld that that it the was a aohe leave the case here, satisfied that he had done en oug h t o 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 against him was supported by fraud and perjury ; and he (Sir./ Cockburn) had he ar d from all quarters that the friends of the right h on . gen tl eman d ec l are d th a t the letter found on Morgan, even if genu i ne , h a d referencen.ot wasto the election o f 1852 and , but to a prior electi on, lities of office, land th ere fore of the house to rake it up.

Mr. Flewker, and those who had adopted his infor mation, were anxious to throw light on the matter, and to obtain information in order to show whether the letter which was in Morgan's possession row ferred to the election of 1852 or to a prior election. Hip had found on inqui r y th at i t appeared that the right hon. gentleman had corresponded with 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 appeared 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 on matters were concerned, till 1848. It was important p so by t tl t i o e make this clear, and he should be able to himself. Mr. correspondence of the right hon. gen tlem an for Derby in 1847, Strutt and Mr. Gower were returned their return. The and a petition was presented against to for his assistance in right hon. gentleman was appliesnd lie wrote to Mr. Flewket carrying out that petition, a 1849 "Ashbury-park on the 21st of November, letter in I received your London yea- Dear sir, was starting.

Cockburn) notcomplain o f th at. were all influenced b y kindl y and a miable 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 have not funds at my disp osa l, j us t a fter the expendit ur e attending a general e l ec ti on , t o pa y th e costs of the petition." He (Sir A. Cockburn) supposed that, after this election, considering the number of petitions, the funds were more flourishing. (Hear.)
