Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this The Earl of DESART moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day three months. The Marquis of LANSI)OWNE supported the Bill, and expressed his surprise at the opposition of the Noble Lord at the present stage of the measure, when no notice had been given of his opposition. The Earl of FALMOUTH deprecated the course pursued by the Government i❑ bringing forward the measure at that late period of the session. He under stood that about nine• tenths of those engaged in mining operations were opposed to it. Earl GREY said the way in which the present opposi tion was given was not a dignified mode of conducting an opposition to a great measure, since a silent assent was given to the Bill last night, when it was brought forward for a first time. The reason of its being brought in at that late period of the session was in con sequence of the vexatious opposition which was given to the Bill in the other House of Parliament. Lord GRANVILLE said, it had been arranged by the Government that the opposition to the Bill should be taken on the first reading, and that, as no discussion then took place upon it, he considered it was undignified for the Noble Lord to oppose it under such circumstances. The Earl of DESART said he was not aware of the understanding alluded to by the Noble Lord. The Earl of LONSDALE defended the conduct of those Members of the House of Commons who opposed the measure in the course of its progress through that House. After a few words from the Earl of CARDIGAN and another Noble Lord, The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The following Bills then went through Committee : Taxing Masters (Court of Chancery) Bill. Slave Trade (Muscat) Bill. Exchequer Bills' Bill. Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill. West Indian Colonies (Mauritius) Bill. The following reports were considered and agreed to, and the Bills read a third time and passed:— Postage on Newspapers Bill. Slave Trade (Equator) Bill. Post-Horses Licenses Bill. Drainage Certificate Bill. Lock-Up Houses Bill. Spirits (Dealers in) Bill. British Spirits Warehousing Bill. Distillery from Sugar Bill. Their Lordships then adjourned shortly after Ono o'clock, until half- past Twelve on Monday. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) John Seers, the keeper of a chandler's shop in Maiden lane, St. Pancras, was charged with selling beer during church time on Sunday last. It was proved by the police•constables that before twelve o'clock on that day three or four persons were seen smoking pipes and drinking beer in the defendant's shop, whilst seven others were similarly enjoying them selves on a bench in front of the house. The defendant pleaded that the beverage which he supplied was only small beer, at three halfpence a pot. The MAGISTRATE said the defendant knew he was not allowed to sell his small beer before one o'clock, for he had been twice summoned before. The first time he was let off with a caution, but the second time he was fined twenty shillings. As he would not take warning, but continued the unlawful practice openly, he must he fined 3/., but if he repeated the offence after this, he would be sent to prison for a month. ,~_ IRELAND. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. LEWES - ITR. FRIDAY, :DEPT. nomination of catAtidAtes tor the representation of the borough of Leicester took place at the hustings, in the Market-place, this morning. Pre cisely at ten o'clock Mr. R. Harris and Mr. J. Ellis, with a large number of their friends, arrived at the hustings in procession from the New Hall. They were loudly cheered by their supporters, but there were no colours displayed nor banners exhibited. Soon after Mr. H. Paget, with his friends, entered the Market-place and took their stand on that side of the hustings occupied by the Conservative party. The Bribery Act having been read, and other preli minaries gone through, Mr. JOSEPH Blocs nominated Mr. R. Harris as a gentleman of the highest character, who had the inte rest of his townsmen and of his country at heart. He called upon the electors to support Mr. Harris, from his independent character, his uprightness as a citizen, and his sympathies on the side of the people.—(Cheers ) The late Members were unseated by means the most cowardly and unwarrantable. If their opponents had gone into court with clean hands—had not been equally culpable, then they could hare understood their motives and respected their conduct; but it was notorious that those men were always the foremost in bribery and corruption. Mr. Biggs then, at great length, went on to declare that the party to which his oppo nents belonged were always the abettors of bribery. He did not wish to unjustly disparage the character of the candidate who had entered the field as an opponent to Mr. Harris and Mr. Ellis; but he must say in reference to the qualifications of their opponent, that if the Mini sterial bench was an ale bench, the House of Commons a skittle-alley, and political principles ninepins, then Mr. Paget would be just the man. Mr. A. BURGESS seconded the nomination. He re commended Mr. Harris, because he was a man of business in contra-distinction to a man of talk. Alderman FIELDING (late Mayor) nominated Mr. John Ellis. Mr. Ellis had resided amongst them from infancy, and his political creed needed no elucidation. In every movement for the political and social welfare of his townsmen, and for the welfare of humanity, Mr. Ellis had always been in the foremost rank. Alderman NUNNELEY seconded the nomination. Mr. T. MoxoN, on the Conservative side, then came forward to nominate Mr. H. Paget, of Birstall, near Lei cester. Mr. Paget, he said, was an independent gen tleman, an advocate of free-trade, but an enemy of revo lutions. Messrs. Harris and Ellis were only warming pans for the late Members.—(Uproar.) Mr. HIND, of Grooby, seconded the nomination. The MAYOR then took a show of hands for the can didates, which appeared to be about equal for the three candidates. The Mayor declared the show in favour of Mr. Harris and Mr. Ellis.—(Great cheering.) Mr. Moxosr demanded a poll for Mr. Paget. Mr. R. HARRIS then addressed the electors, stating his regret that the town bad lost the services of the late Members, which were the best Leicester ever had. The evidenne, too, on which they were unseated, was false in a great measure, poor men having been induced to give it from tempting promises. He (Mr. Harris) was in the Committee- room of the House of Commons and heard evidence given in reference to himself which was false, and which he could have shown to have been untrue had he been allowed, but he was not allowed. He (Mr. Harris) had no ambition or interest to serve in going to Parliament, and had only come forward at the earnest request of his fellow-townsmen. They had appointed him to the highest offices of honour in his native town, and, after due deliberation, he felt that he could not de clinea nd to uproar.)se serve them His in rin the i p presentes were emergency. —(Cheers e l i known rgen c i to them - .—(Cheers from the part he h a d taken during the last f orty years in every effort for progressive reform. Those p r i nc i p l es he should act up to, if sent to the House of C ommons, in an independent manner. He was indep en d ent, and principles should have no inducement to swerve from that con sistent advocacy of cheap, enlightened, and liberal go vernment which, through a long life, he had supported in his native town. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, FRIDAY. Her Majesty and the Prince took an early walk this morning. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNINa.—The Special Commission for the trial of the leaders and other parties implicated in the late insurrection was fixed yesterday to be held at Nenagh on Tuesday, the 19th instant. The presidirg Judges are to be the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench and Chief Justice Doherty. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. The Prince of Wales and younger members of the Royal Family, rode and walked in the grounds. The royal dinner party yesterday included her Roy al Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Hohenlohe Langenburg, Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Langenburg, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and Colonel and Lady Cathe rine Harcourt. Sir Lucius O'Brien, M.P., arrived in town this morn ing from England. Lord John Russell is expected in Kingston Harbour about noon to-day, in the Banshee, steamer. During the past week the Earl Fitawilliam paid a visit to the Earl and Countess of Rosse, at the Castle, Parsons-town. Sir William Hamilton, professor of as tronomy, and Astronomer Royal of Ireland; G. B. Airey, Esq , of the Greenwich Observatory, and As tronomer of England; Colonel Sabine, R.A., and Mrs. Sabine, are also at present on a visit at the Castle. Sir Charles Henry Coote, Lady Coote, family, and suite, have returned to Ballyfinn House, from a tour. The Earl of Glengall has arrived at Morrison's Hotel, from London, en route for Galway. The Knight of Kerry has left town for Zilva, Valentia. VISIT OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCE.—The Freeman's Journal, on the authority of its London correspondent, announces that Lord George Bentinck comes to Ireland immediately after the recess, nominally on a visit to his friend', the Marquis of Downshire, at Hillsborough Castle, but in reality to ascertain what practical legis lative measures can be originated by him, and carried(?) for the social and political improvement of the Irish people. No day is fixed for his departure. His pre sent intention is to remain for a few days in Dublin, and then proceed by slow stages into Ulster. Mr. T. F. MEAGITER.—The Cork Reporter is " au thorised" to state that Mr. Meagher has retained as counsel for his defence Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., and Sir Colman O'Loghlen. MORE ARRESTS. The following curious statement appears in the Cork Reporter of yesterday : " On the 7th of this month a man named James Red mond, who had taken up the surn of 40/. 13s. 6d., from Air. Dargan's office, in the name of Mr. H. Fitzmaurice, absconded, and that gentleman having some suspicion that he was proceeding to America in one of the vessels lying at Cove, proceeded thither yesterday, in company with Head-constable Crowley, for the purpose of search ing for him. When they arrived in Cove they were joined by Constable Casey of that district, and the three proceeded on board an American vessel, named the N. D. Chase, bound for Boston, where the passengers un derwent a rigid scrutiny to ascertain if Redmond was on board. While examining the emigrants, Head -constable Crowley perceived a gentlemanly looking man, whose face he thought familiar to him, upon which he asked him his name, which the other replied was Corcoran. The head-constable, having some suspicion of him, con sulted with Constable Casey, and eventually they deemed it their duty to take him into custody, notwithstanding that another young gentleman stepped up, who stated that his name was Daniel Corcoran, and that the prisoner was his brother. Having brought him to Cove, Constable Bean of the Monkstown station was sent for, who identified the prisoner as the gentleman who stated his name to be Murray at the Monkstown Hotel, and who had made his escape from the two po licemen. Upon this the prisoner admitted that he was Mr. Terence Bellew M`Manus, and gave satisfactory an swers to every question put to him, stating that Mr. Corcoran was not aware who he was, but thought he was going to America for family reasons, and did not wish his own name to be used, and he therefore permitted him to use his. He expressed great regret at the two police men having been dismissed on his account at Monks town, and with tears in his eyes stated that if he had succeeded in getting to America he would have provided handsomely for them and their families. As to his own fate, he said be was indifferent about it, provided that he had been of any use to Ireland, which he trusted he had, but that he feared that she was become the scorn of the surrounding nations. Mr. M‘Manus having been se cured, the constables again went on board to arrest Mr. Daniel Corcoran, for harbouring him and aiding him to escape, but as soon as they got to the vessel some dispo sition was evinced, particularly by the women, to prevent any further arrests. However, when the mate was in formed that the vessel could be put under seizure, he permitted the police to arrest Mr. Corcoran and convey him on shore. Both prisoners were brought up in the Cove steamer last night and placed in the Bridewell, where two policemen were left in the cells of each of them, ho were relieved every two hours. " This morning they were brought up handcuffed, and guarded by three policemen, with their guns and bayonets, to the police-office, for examination before Captain White and Mr. A. F. Roche. Mr. J. ELLis next addressed the electors. He stood before them in furtherance of the principle of purity of election. His political principles were too well known to need any definition of them at the present time. If they sent him to Parliament he should faithfully adhere to them. Mr. PAGET also addressed the electors. The reason he appeared as an opponent to Mr. Harris and Mr. Ellis was, that those gentlemen were only keeping the place warm for Walmsley and Gardner. His (Mr. Paget's) principles were of the old Whig school. He did not agree with Mr. Gardner that the Churchahoiidl; Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governors of the North American Colonies. Dispatches were also sent off last evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governors of the West India Colonies. Mr. M'Manus was in most excellent spirits, and very communicative to those friends and persons who thought proper to ask him any questions ; but Mr. Cor- coran was rather reserved, and preserved a rigid silence. "After the examination of two constables, informations were drawn up and sworn to, the prisoners having first read them. Such evidence having accordingly been put in, The Committee then adjourned till to-day. A Committee of the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations had a meeting yesterday, in the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were the President of the Board of Trade, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the Secretary of the State for the Colonies, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Sir Edward Ryan. THE SUN, LONDON,' SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1848. ELECTION COMMITTEE. HORSHAM. Mr. Crowder, in the course of his reply on Thursday made some observations reflecting upon the character of the sitting Member, Mr. Fitzgerald. It would seem that the Learned Gentleman insinuated that Mr. Fitzgerald had tampered with his own servants to give false evidence before the Committee, and after the rising of the Committee a personal alterca tion took place between the Honourable Member and the Learned Gentleman, who represented the peti tioner, Lord Edward Howard. The lion..Gentlemati, it appears, warmly protested against the personality of the remarks the Learned Gentleman had indulged in at his expense, denying that they were founded on truth, and giving his deeided opinion that such observations re flected great discredit upon the bar. At the sitting of the Committee yesterday morning, Mr. CROWDER tendered an apology to the Hon. Gen tleman, disclaiming all idea of having meditated a per sonal attack upon the Hon. Gentleman, or intending, in the remotest degree, to impute improper motives to him. Mr. Fitzgerald readily accepted the apology, which he considered most ample, and he begged leave to re tract any inadvertent observation that might have escaped him yesterday in a moment of excitement. Mr. CROWDER then closed his reply on behalf of the petitioners, after which the room was cleared, and the Committee having deliberated for about two hours, strangers were re-admitted, when The CueinmAN announced that the Committee had unanimously come to the two following resolutions:— " That William Robert Seymour Fitzgerald, Esq., was not duly elected at the last election to serve in the present Parliament as a burgess for the borough of Hor sham. " That the said William Robert Seymour Fitzgerald, Esq., being a candidate at the election for the said bo rough, held on the 9th of July, 1847, was by himself and his agents, guilty of treating, and the said William Robert Seymour Fitzgerald, Esq., was in consequence thereof at the last election, held on the 29th of June, 1848, incapable of being elected or sitting in Parliament or the said borough." The COMMITTEE wished to know what course the pe titioner proposed to pursue now ? Mr. CROWDER said, the petitioner claimed the seat or Lord Edward Howard, on the ground that previous to the last election notice was given to the electors of Mr. Fitzgerald's disqualification, and having proved that fact, he hoped the Committee would declare his Lordship to have been duly elected. _ DIVIDENDS.

A meetirTgCilthe — rnenfier; was held at the Squadron [louse this day, at which the commodore and about twenty other members were present. Several members had written protesting against the election of a commo dore being proceeded witb before the general annual meeting in May next, but no one attending to oppose it, the Earl of Wilton was pr.posed, seconded, and elected iu the place of the Marquis of Donegal, who had re signed at the last meeting. The Hon. J. W. Spencer, R.N., and Captain Richard Triscot were elected honorary members, and the meeting broke up. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER. Her Ma-. jesty proceeded to Ventnor yesterday afternoon, and re turned to Cowes at one o'clock this day, the houses taken for her Majesty here are not large enough for her Ma jesty's establishment, end notice has been given that the Royal party will leave Cowes at ten o'clock to morrow morning, via Southampton for Bushy; the only houses here at all likely to accommodate the Royal household are Harriet Lodge, at present occupied by the Earl of Glengall, and Grantham House, which Sir Bellingham Graham has. The two would make up forty beds, and have eight best sitting-rooms, with servants' halls, housekeepers' rooms, and suitable offices. Her Majesty is much pleased with the scenery, but not with the Houses. In fact, nature has done everything to please the eye, and invigorate the frame, but we have done nothing for ourselves; art has never been called to our aid. If mansions and palaces would but grow, we should have plenty of them; but though we have some of the most beauti!ul situations in England, we have but very few good houses. Three Royal carriages have just passed through the town from Osborne, proceeding to the Queen Dowager's present residence, containing her Majesty, Prince Al bert, the Duchess of Kent and their suite. It is sup posed that an attempt is to be made to prevail on the Queen Dowager to alter her arrangements, and it is hoped she will not leave to morrow, but reside here for the autumn, although part of the baggage, and some of the servants left this afternoon for Bushy.

At the meeting of the Botanical Society of London, held last evening, at the S oc i e ty' s R ooms , 20 , Bedford street, Strand ; J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S., President, in the chair; Dr. Parkin read a paper, "On the Potato Disease." The writer commenced by stating that, al though it was too late to adopt the measures recom mended by him in the work "On the Prevention and Treatment of the Potato Disease," there was yet time for the adoption of those which he had advised for avert ing its progress after it had commenced either in the haulm or the root. These measures, in addition to the employment of chalk and sulphuric acid, and the burning of stubble, which Dr. P. recommends in all eases when these agents can be easily obtained and the crop is small, consist either in cutting off the haulm, pulling up the stem, or raising the roots with a fork, according as the disease exists in the one or the other of these parts of the plant. It was stated by Dr. P. that sometimes the disease commences in the haulm, sometimes in the root —the root proper—but more generally in the under ground stem. The modes operandi of these measures was explained by Dr. P., but want of space prevents our giving this explanation here. This part of the subject has been, however, as we understood, fully entered into by this gentleman in his work. Dr. P. further advised that the tubers should be left in the ground until re quired for use, as no doubt, he said, could exist that had exposure attacked t t t a o c iethed the a t . r b hastenedtue tubers. the Thew r process iter o concludedf decay after it stating it to be his intention to favour the society on a future occasion with additional evidence which he had obtained, not only with respect to the efficacy of these measures, but of those also which he has recommended for the prevention of the disease, and which, of course, are of the most importance. The Vernon, 50 guns, built by Sir W. Symonds, and one of the largest frigates in the service, is on her pas sage home from the East Indies. She is ordered to be paid off at Chatham, without her bulkheads or any of her internal fitments being removed. pulled down; it was a useful appendage to the State. He was a free-trader. He believed also that an eaten.• sion of the suffrage might be granted if the people were educated. Education must go first. If they sent him to Parliament he should vote independently. Mr. T. MACAULEY then begged to address the meet ing, in answer to the charges that had been made against the Conservatives. It had been said that they had not clean hands in the last election. So far as he was con cerned, he must emphatically deny it. The corruptions of the old corporation were thrown in their teeth. He would say, let the old corporation alone—it was dead; and " a live donkey was better than a dead man." It had been asked why Mr. Parker did not come forward again. Mr. Parker would be ready when he could get sufficient promises of support to secure his return. The meeting was then dissolved, the polling to com mence at eight o'clock this (Saturday) morning. DERBY. Yesterday the nomination took place in the Guildhall, Derby, which was filled by the friends and supporters of both parties, and the usual ebullitions of feeling took place during the proceedings. After the preliminary forms had been gone through, W. Everrs, Esq., M.P., rose to nominate Michael R. Bass, Esq., as a fit and pro_per person to represent this borough in Parliament. He expressed his deep regret at the loss the borough had experienced in the unseat ing of Mr. Strutt, a man of the strictest integrity, of great ability, and business tact.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Evans, had heard a great number of Members on both sides of the House of Commons express their deep regret at this occurrence, and say that Mr. Strutt's absence from Parliament was a great public loss. The Hon. Gentle man then proceeded to dwell upon the merits of Mr. Bass, whom he had great pleasure to nominate, and ex pressed his firm belief that if he was returned to Parlia ment—as he believed he would be—he would promote their interests with zeal and ability. D. Fox, Esq., seconded the nomination, and in doing so attacked the Tory party for unseating Mr. Strutt, while, at the same time, they were guilty of worse prac tices themselves. 1 Mr. JOSIAH LEwis (manufacturer) nominated Mr. Fresbfield, in a speech chiefly referring to local matters and the violent language of the Chartists. He called upon the electors of Derby to support Mr. Fresbfield, alleging that this was not a question between Whig and Tory, but between Conservatism and destructism. W. E. MONSLEY, Esq., seconded the nomination, and dwelt upon the high character,: business habits, and in tegrity of Mr. Freshfield, and of his being well fitted to represent the borough. JOHN Moss, Esq., then rose to nominate Mr. Lawrence Heyworth. The Hon. Gentleman compared Mr. Fresh field's promises in his published addresses with his votes when in Parliament, with telling effect. The fable of the " wolf in sheep's clothing" was realised. Now, what had saved the country from revolution? Why, timely concessions, and the progressive principles of reform. Mr. Bey worth was no revolutionist, but a real Conser vative, and he called upon them to prevent revolution by electing men of his station and principles.—(Cheers.) Mr.. MonLuir seconded the nomination. Dr. lIEYGATE briefly moved, and Mr. Cogg seconded, the nomination of Mr. Lord. Mr. BASS then rose to deliver his address, and was re cei% ed with loud cheering. He declared himself in favour of progressive reforms, vote by ballot, shorter Parliaments, a reform of all abuses of the Church, the abolition of church-rates, and a better distribution of Church property, though he was opposed to separation of Church and State. He declared his firm conviction, from the number of promises he had received, of his in every depart the preserva tion of triumphant return. Mr. FRESUFIELD defended himself from the charges in Mr. Moss's " cutting speech," explaining his votes, and protesting his opposition to free trade. He was not op posed to slight changes, but was opposed to extensi ve reforms. Mr. lIEYWORTH then declarerdinhdimiresceltflyi,nbfraibveoruyr or universal peace,suffrage,d an a progressivereduction m or reforms f o taxation, r s meet of th e St a t e .

REPRESENTATION OF CIIELTENIIAII.—CIIIILTEN HAM, THURSDAY.—The Hon. Grenville Lennox Berke ley, a cousin of the Hon. Craven Fitzhardinge Berkeley, recently unseated, has now declared himself a candidate to represent this borough until Mr. Craven Berkeley is in a position again to offer himself, i. e., after the disso lution of the present Parliament. Yesterday morning an announcement was made, by handbills circulated about the town, that Mr. Grantley Berkeley, M.P. for West Gloucestershire, would address the electors in the afternoon from the balcony of the Royal Hotel, and accol Jingly, it being understood that his object was to propose Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton as a candidate, a large number of persons assembled at the appointed hour. On Mr. Berkeley appearing before them, how ever, he was received with such unequivocal marks of disapprobation, that he withdrew without making the promised speech. Subsequently, however, Mr. Grantley Berkeley issued a manifesto, which has been circulated to-day in the town, in which he says :—" My speech was prevented by the noise of a few individuals who ap peared to have been sent into the street to burke th e my intention to have proposed to your notice a Liberal utterance of truth, and to prevent expla yl n oo a nu t g io a instead of Mr. Grenville Berkeley, the rejected nominee of West Gloucestershire.

EARLY CLOSING.—A public meeting wag mg was held on Thursday evening last, at the Hall the purpose of securing an ear:ler h of Commerce, for our of closing in the wholesale grocery, tea, coffee, meeting, though a merelyand spice trades. The preliminary one, and' not withstanding the very unfavourable state of the weather, was numerously attended. Ir. Lilwell (the secretary to the General Association) stated that, on being so licited to turn his attention to the hours of employment l grocery business, it appeared to him that it was desirable ga to ascertain, as far . as possible, in the first place, whether those engaged in the before mentioned important branches of trade were of opinion that a curtailment of those hours was practicable; and, in the second place, whether they thought such curtail ment desirable. his, observed the secretary, was the more immediate object for which the meeting was con vened. A resolution to the following effect was then unanimously passed:—" Encouraged by the success which has marked the early closing movement in con nd o nexion with the bankers, merchants, and various other woulds It onlylvwas trades, and believing that the wholesale grocery, business may with ease and advantage be suspended at the uniform hour of six o'clock in the evening, this meeting hereby resolves that a respectful memorial re questing employers to effect that alteration shall be pre pared by the secretary; and that the same shall be sub mitted at a subsequent meeting." The names of those present having been taken, pledging themselves to do their utmost to carry out the spirit of the above reso lution, the meeting, which was a highly intereresting one, separated.
