PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In thi LORDS, the Select Committee on the building of the two Houses of Parliament was moved for by Lord DUNCAN -14011. Lord BROUGHAM moved the Order of the Day for the adjourned debate on his Resolutions relative to General Edu cation. Lord MELBOURNE agreed in the principles embodied i n the Resolutions, but was not quite sure that the mode of Proceeding by way of Resolutions was the wisest and best c ourse for ca rr yi ng those principles into effect. He therefore rec ommended to hi s N o bl e an d L earne d F r i en d to bring in a 13111 on the s u bj ect . L or d BROUGHAM adopted the recommen dation, and withdrew the Resolutions. In the COMMONS. a Committee on the Penryn Election Pe tition was Ballotted for. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a Petition fr om York, complaining of bribery and corruption practised at the last election for that City, and gave notice that he would to-day move that it be referred to a Select Committee. Three of the Ipswich Election culprits were brought from Newgate up to the bar of the House, and after being reprimanded were discharged. A motion was renewed for the liberation of an other of t h ese gentry, on. the certified plea of illness Addi tional medical evidence is to be furnished to-day, when be will probably be set at large. Mr. GISBORNE moved that all the persons who a pp eare d to h ave b een gu ilty o f b r ib er y at the I pswich Election, should be prosecuted by the ATTORNEY GENERAL. The motion was agreed to. The House hen Went into Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill, when several amendments were made, and several post poned and negatived. On resuming the consideration of the 14th clause, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he intended to ' the revision of the lists of voters to the Revising Barristers in the present year, and that for the fu hire the duty of revision would devolve on the Mayor and two Auditors. Mr. WYNN moved an amendment to the effect, that the Revising Barristers should be permanently appointed. Thu amendment was negatived by 86 to 53. Clauses 15, 16, 17, and 18, were severally agreed to. On the question that clause 19 be agreed to, Sir R. PEEL moved an amendment, which, after some discussion, was negatived by a majority of 63. On the 23d clause, Lord STANLEY moved an amendment, the object of which was to lengthen the term during which the council should hold office. This amendment also was nega tived —the numbers against it being 220 ; for it, 176. The clause being then agreed to, progress was reported. Leave was given to bring in a Bill to amend the Beer Act. Mr. Wasorq presented a petition respecting bribery at Yarmouth ; and the House adjourned at One o'Clock. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION REFORM. (FROM OUR OWN CORRIISPONIDENT.) PLYMOUTH, JUNE 27. This borough, as well as the adjoining town of Stone house, i t quite in a state of excitement, consequent upon a no tice having been given in the House of Commons of a motion which is intended to be made for an amendment in Sec. 2, Schedule A, of the Corporation Reform Bill now pending be fore Parliament--that, " for the purposes of the said Act the Parliamentary boundaries, with the addition of Stonehouse, be taken as the boundaries of the borough of Plymouth." This notice of motion has we understand been given by Mr. Miles, M. P. for Bristol, but upon what ground he will found his motion no one here can divine. The greatest dissatis faction prevails among all parties and classes in both places, and should this monstrous proposition receive the sanction of the present Government, we are convinced that they could take no surer way to become unpopular amongst the inhabi tants of the two places. Stonehouse by the Reform Bill is tk . pited wi t h Devonport, so that the junction of the former with Plymouth would pr esen t an anoma ly o f a truly extraordinary Li descripti on . T o- d ay a gentleman of t hi s p l ace (Pl ymout h) left for London, to explain to Lord John Russell and other Members, circumstances bearing on the subject, which he might not oth erw i se be acquaicted with ; and we d ou b t not the result will be that his Lordship will see the propriety of opposing the motion referred to. Meanwhile the Mayor of Plymouth has i ssued an announcement request i ng a genera l meeting of the inhabitant householders of the borough, rated y) the relief of the poor for the parishes within the same b orough, to b e holden on Monday next the 29th (June) inst., 4! . t one o'clock in the afternoon, to take the subject into consi deration, and to determine on the measures proper to be adopted in reference thereto. BR .ITISH COLONIAL TIMBER TRADE. Today a m ee ti ng o f the Cham b er of C ommerce o f t hi s port pl 317 "uth), and of the shipowners, merchants and others, was held at the Exchange on the subject of the proposed alteration of„ Duties on B r i tish Colonial Timber—Henry Wool l com b e, ' B cl. was call e d to t h e Ch a i r . The meeting was addressed by the leading merchants of this place, after which a committee was appointed to prepare a pe tition to the House of Commons, praying that the duties on Canadian timber should not be increased. It was contended by some of the merchants present at this meeting that should the proposed change in the duties on timber take place, the Whole of the timber trade would get into the hands of foreign ers. One gentleman said that out of twenty-nine vessels Which had arrived here from the Baltic with timber, between August 1833 and the present time, twenty-five were foreign Vessels. There is, however, doubtless a great deal of sound ness in the arguments advanced by those who contend for the proposed alterations. Yesterday Mr. Mathew Davenport Hill, Mr. Ashton Yates, and Mr. Northouse, obtained an appointment With Lord Brougham, for a conference with a Committee of the Deputies of the Corporate Cities and Towns, regarding his Lordship's suggested alterations in the Municipal Reforiii Bill, Mr. Rathbone, the Chairman of the Deputies, and nine other gentlemen, had a long interview with his Lordship, the result of which we have not heard, but we believe that it is to be resumed. We have to announce the death of Alexander Swictolawski, the Polish refugee, in his twenty- e i g h t h year. He wag one o f th e s i x t een w h o gave the signal for the revolu tion at Warsaw by attacking Belvidere, the Palace of the Archduke Constantine. Another hero of the first French Revolution has Just died; M. Francis Raisson, at the age of sixty-five. This worthy was chiefly known for the part which he took in the preparation and issue of the assignats. AMERICAN THEATRICALS.—Sheridan Knowles and Miss Phillips were playing at New York at the last ad 'noes. M r . W. Chapman, son of Mr. Chapman of Covent- Garden, died on board the floating theatre on the Mississippi. plus Placide, who made her debut last season at Covent garden, as Elvira, in Pizaro, has likewise departed this life at gew Orleans. She expired on the same day as Mrs. Roe, wife of the manager, and, by a singular coincidence , these t wo actresses were born on the same day, came out simulta neously on the stage, and were buried in the same grave. THig MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S GRAND FETE, its: l Ell'es PARK.—We understand the tables were laid by Messrs. Gunters for nearly 500 royal and noble visitors, under the spacious and elegant tent supplied by Mr. Benjamin Pdgington, 2, Duke-street, Southwark. This tent, from its facility of erection, and security from the weather, I ,s well a d apte d f or pu bli c b rea kfasts, and having a boarded floor, effectually prevents any inconvenience arising from damp.

Indeed, he has found a tale in everything, in the "thick-ribbed ice," in the whale's belly, kid, a s if earth had been exhausted, he procures one half way to heaven, in a water-spout. But whether they be of earth, water or air, we find all the tales to be good, and we recom lnend them strongly to the notice of our readers. The Committee for the Establishment of a Litho triptic nospital, for curing patients of the stone without it-lei t":4l, think it their duty to contradict several rumours which h ave been circulated to the prejudice of Baron Heurteloup, 11 1 d consequently to that of the above named Institution, of which he is surgeon.

TORY DEFEAT AT LEICESTER. The extraordinary interest the Tories now affect to feel for the rights of those freemen whose privileges and pro perty they have so long usurped and abused, is truly ludi crous. At Leicester, on Monday morning last, the town crier gave notice, that a meeting of the freemen would be held upon the Freemens' Common, to take into considera tion their interests, as affected by the Bill now before Par liament. In consequence of this novel announcement, from 1,000 to 1,500 freemen assembled at the time and place appointed. Many of the freemen then inquired by whom the meeting was convened ;to which no answer was returned. After waiting one hour and a half, a proposal was made to several individuals to take the Chair, which they declined. A freeman then rose and moved that the meeting should ad journ sine die, which was carried all but unanimously, one hand only having been held up against it. The following handbill, printed by the Editor of a rank Tory Journal, was circulated in great numbers in the town and at the place of meeting. 4, FREEMEN OF LEICESTER. " Your liberties, and your rights, and privileges are invaded ! Those who promised you protection under the Reform Bill, are disfranchisiv you I Hear what the Whig Attorney-Ge neral says, when speaking of you! ! I " The freemen existed only by corruption !—they had been the curse of the country. Instead of this Bill being a ble.- sing, it would be a curse if the amendment were adopted (Sir William Follett's amendment to protect your rights). It was essential to the success of the Bill before the Committee, that the power should be taken away from the freemen, and that their hands should be tied up to prevent them doing further mischief. In a majority of cases they paid no rates—had no property—did not even discharge scot or hear lot—and the time of many:of them was passed in gaol the greater part of the year. Mean, beggarly, wretched, and exceptionable individuals. " This is the opinion the Whigs have of you. You can readit in all the daily papers of Wednesday last. Petition the House of Lords I Up, and petition the King 111 " A FREEMAN." This circumstance, coupled with the fact of the town crier having been the person employed to give notice of the meeting, leaves no doubt as to the quarter where the meeting originated ; although it is now convenient for the Tories to disclaim all knowledge of it. This attempt to excite the feelings of the freemen of Leicester against the proposed alteration in our municipal institutions, has proved a signal failure, and we know that the sentiments of a large majority of the freemen are decidedly opposed to the per petuation of any privileges inimical to the general interests of the community. P.S. Out of the 1,700 freemen in Leicester and its vicinity, there are only 250 who avail themselves of the right or privilege of grazing the freemens' piece. MILITARY OBITUARY.

Lord BROUGHAM moved the Order of the day for re suming the adjourned discussion upon his resolutions respect ing the above subject. Viscount MELBOURNE said he would certainly have liked to have heard more upon the subject before he had been called upon to address their Lordships. He had listened with great satisfaction to the speech of his Noble and Learned Friend on introducing those resolutions, and he had had the pleasure of reading them in an authenticated shape, and, of course, had had more time to study the convincing arguments put forth upon that occasion. He agreed with his Noble Friend in all his arguments, and agreed also in the principles then advanced, which he bad no doubt would produce all the effect which his Noble Friend expected from them, so far as it was posssible to place any reliance upon any opinions or principles of a specula tive nature. He agreed in the possibility of carrying them into effect, and was perfectly convinced that great benefits would accrue from early education—provided that education did not lead to too close a confinement, which was destruc tive to the animal spirits, and led to the destruction of the human frame ; and also if ? it did not interfere with that course of natural instruction, so beautifully described in the opening of his Noble and Learned Friend. He believed that the plan proposed was feasible and practicable, and he quite agreed with his Noble Friend that the subject was one deserving of the most serious attention of the Parliament. He was quite of opinion that the country would be much more moral if it had the benefits of early education, and he entirely agreed with his Noble and Learned Friend that there were now many and pernicious abuses in the old schools which had been established by foundations. He then came to take a very short examination of the resolutions now before their Lordships. He here begged to suggest to his Noble and Learned Friend, whether the way of proceeding by resolu tions was the most safe, the most expedient, or the most advantageous means of carrying into effect his own plans. He did not think that justice could be done to this subject by means of resolutions. He had read them, and it appeared to him as if they intended to convey that nothing had been done on this subject before, and as if the matter were entirely a re t; integra et intacta, and as if neither House of Parliament had taken any steps upon the subject. He would remind his Noble and Learned Friend that, in the session of 1833 and 1834, under the auspices of the Government, and very much at the recommendation of the Noble Lord himself, the sum of 50,0001. had been voted for the only f this,p rom b o u t t ing wh t e h a e educationo G f o t v h e e r a m co e u a n t try,and not retired pfrumpooesaffiel office, they found amongst the Estimates that it was the intention of that Government to propose a similar grant for the present year, and this intention his Majesty' s p re sent Government weredetermined to follow up. But not only was the money granted, but they were disposed to agree with the Noble Lord upon any great principle which that Noble Lord had inculcated in his speech on a former oc sasion.—( Hear, hear.) One of those principles was done, that this money should be given for the building new schools. It was unnecessary for him to explain that this was that private benevolence might be stimulated, not repressed by public aid ; and this principle was inculcated by the Noble and Learned Lord with that strength of argument and felicity of illustration which belonged to him.—( Hear, hear.) Another principle upon which these grants were made was, that all applications should be made through the National Society, or the British and Foreign School Society. And this mode of proceeding was found to be in the highest degree satisfactory to all parties—both those connected with the English Church, and also the great body of Dissenters who had a share in the benefit of this grant. It was not his intention to remark upon those regulations—he would avoid that question because it was impossible otherwise, at least so he apprehended, to avoid a discussion in that House upon questions arising from the unfortunate differences of religious opinion which prevailed in that country—differences which he was sure was always painful to hear made a subject of public discussion, especially when they were able to avoid it ; and at the same time to give satisfaction to all parties concerned. There was not a principle in. these resolutions which had not been ad mitted in Parliament, and he did, therefore, submit to the House, and particularly to the Learned and Noble Lord, whether he thought it necessary, especially after he had given his most decided assurance on the part of the Government, of their anxious wish to promote a system of education by all means in their power, and upon the prin ciples which the Noble Lord proposed—he put it to him whe ther, upon the whole, he thought it prudent to press it upon the House, to place these resolutions upon their journals.— ( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He did not question the truth of the greater part of these resolutions—he thought many parts of them were somewhat too generally worded. By the 3d and 6th resolutions, it was proposed to call their at tention to the establishment of Infant Schools. He admitted the advantages, the necessity, and the utility of Infant schools, and he had endeavoured to encourage them by all the means in his power; but he rather doubted, ,if the resolutions were adopted, whether it would be a wise means of calling the attention of the public to the encouragement of these institutions. He knew a little of these infant schools himself. There was one establish ment in that part of the country with which he was con nected, and considering that the funds, though large, were not sufficient, and upon representations which had been made to him he had contributed to supply the requisite expenses. He did not know that he should have done so, if he had had those resolutions so distinctly and clearly before his eyes : they would have a little chilled his benevolence, and he doubted much whether other persons, before contributing in a like manner would not say " let us first try the Government, and see what we can get out of them." — ( A laugh.) Feeling that this might be the result, he thought that others might have the same feelings, and he doubted, therefore, whether it would be wise or prudent to point the attention of the public so much and so distinctly to the public aid that was professed to lee given in favour of these schools. Respecting the establishment of model-schools, a measure on that subject had been under the consideration of the Government. With respect to the 9th and Bth resolutions, which went to establish a Board of Commissioners with control over all charities, and with the management of all charitable funds bequeathed for pur poses of education, he apprehended that such a Board was not entirely new. He believed that such a Board had been adopted in Ireland, and had worked well ; but consider g the great extent of power given the delicacy of the matter—and considering also how very much the pro priety of the resolutions would depend on the details of the means by which they were called into effect—he ventured to put it to the Noble and Learned Lord whether he would call upon the House by a single vote in one night, by way of reso lution, to lay down a principle of such importance and magni tude. Upon these grounds, he recommended to the Noble and Learned Lord not to press his resolutions.-4 Hear, hear. ) Lord BROUGHAM—It would be an ill return to the Noble Lord's candour and courtesy to press these resolutions to a division, especially as he did not believe the House would agree with him if he did.—(" Hear," and a laugh. ) The resolutions he had proposed were distinct and clear. In 1833 resolutions were passed in both Houses recognizing the principle of free trade in tea to China, and in in the same year resolutions were passed for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. Now, no objection had been taken to the mode of proceeding in either of these cases, and although he was no great stickler for precedent on all occasions, still he thought no objection would be made to it on the present occa sion. His Noble Friend complained that he had not done justice to the measures that had been adopted by fo dnph2loeia r di cd:nmot not obdn r otetlo.

It was erroneous to suppose the grant made by Government was all that had been expended on the education of the people, because nearly twice as much had been advanced from private sources. He differed from him when he spoke of infant schools, and that the proposed plan would be the means of suppressing private benevolence. The funds had been generally entrusted to the National and British and Foreign Society for distribu tion, and thi s pl an h a d appeare d to g i ve sat i s f act i on to a ll parties.

Every day not employed by the ruler and the Government in such a pursuit might be deemed to be thrown away and wasted. There ought to be no diffi culties in the distribution. He agreed that religious educa tion should form a part of general education, and he hoped that means would be adopted to render it possible to attain that end without incurring the danger of exciting religious disputes. This brought him to the subject of the sixth reso lution. That related to the administration, by a Board of Commissioners, of charitable funds already existing. He did not propose to take the management of the funds out of the hands of the present trustees.—( hear, hear.) He proposed to go hand in hand with them, taking care only that the funds they possessed should be properly managed. By the proposed measure of Municipal Reform they were going to establish a new body of constituents, who were more likely to interfere actively in the management of Corporations than the old. They were about to take the management of cha ritable funds from the old corrupt Corporations, and give it to the new bodies. It might be said, " You are never going to take the trust from those to whom it was given by the donor, and to transfer it to other parties."—( Hear, hear, we believe from the Earl 'of Falmouth.) He was far from saying that they ought not to do so; in his opinion they ought. The cheers of the Noble Earl so seldom met his ears that he might be supposed to feel a solace from them he must not purchase it, however, by false pretences—therefore he begged to say that if the Noble Earl supposed he agreed with him in de precating that change he was mistaken ; he was merely stat ing the fact that the Bill would have that effect. He did not complain of it ; on the contrary he thought it a useful reform, provided it was accomplished with proper checks.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He would say, then, that because they were now going to pass this strong Act, and he would add this necessary and salutary Act, making that transfer from the old to the new body, and perhaps to a body to whom the donor never would have given the trust, if at the time when he made the bequeit it, had been in existence, and he had been acquainted with its nature—( Hear, hear)—he was giving the Noble Earl (Earl Falmouth, we believe,) the full benefit of the argument—he was fairly and candidly stat ing the case, and let the Noble Earl make the worst and the most of it—because they were going to transfer from those corporations which were now the sinks of corruption—(the No ble Earl intimated dissent)—he knew there were many that were pure : some were exceedingly pure ; he knew one that was perfectly pure, and so did the Noble Earl.—( Laughter.) He was about to say, because they were going to pass this mea sure, now was the time, when they were turning over a new leaf, when they were making a new distribution of trust power, when they were taking the management of property out of the hands of one body and giving it to another—now was the time for them to see whether they could not establish an effectual controul against the abuse of trusts. Under the old system such an alteration was not called for in individual cases ; be cause the system had endured for two or three hundred years ; but when they were about to form a different consti tution and a new body, he felt it to be their imperative duty to see that the strongest precaution was taken to prevent the possibility of this new arrangement leaving the funds, as before, subject to be mismanaged. The plan he had to recommend would, he thought, be the most convenient and fit mode of giving that security. There would exist a body of respectable persons, consisting of Ministers of State and working men, who would exercise a constant supervision and control, instead of leaving that duty to the most inefficient, or to the, in every respect, inconvenient operation of filing an information. The course open at present was for some indi vidual to become a relator, at whose instance an attorney filed au information, for the costs of which the relator was liable. It was true any one Might become a relator who chose, but very few liked to involve themselves in all the perils of a Chancery suit. The mode of proceeding by petition was in some respects better, but that was attended with considerable expense. He apprehended that the appointment of a Board would be the-best course. They would exercise a control which would be the more likely to be exercised with im partiality and strict propriety, as they would be wholly in dependent of the Corporation. With respect to this ques tion they were now in a situation in which they had not been for the last twenty years. The control of the Com missioners of Charities had ceased. The Commission ex pired last July—and indeed for the last eight or nine months they had not sat for any effectual purposes. The consequence was, that the whole of the trusts all over the country, thinking the Commission was at an end, and having little reason to fear that they would be called over the coals by any one adopting proceedings against them in the Court of Chancery, felt themselves quite secure. That their Lordships might see what would be the usefulness of a Board, he would refer to one case in which the Commissioners called the trustees before them. They discovered that forty or fifty children were benefitted by the trust, but that the funds were sufficient for the children of half a dozen parishes, containing a population of five or six thousand people. In another case the trustees consisted of a Committee, and it having been de cided that it was illegal that the Committee should employ any of its own members, se determined were they to evade the de cision, that under an arrangement by which the Committee was changed every year, they employed their predecessors, the effect being that their profits were reduced one half, for in the succeeding year it became the turn of those who had given employment to receive it. Where there were two sets of butchers, bakers, and other tradesmen, their profits were not diminished at all, the only change made being, that instead of the two tradesmen affording the supply for the half year each, they were alternately employed for the whole year. With respect to his resolutions, his Noble Friend having expressed an opinion, he would not stand out against his better judgment. He had no hesitation in stating, that having laid these resolutions before their Lordships, having had them printed, and their having undergone, both on the last and on this occasion some discussion, substantially the end he had in view had been gained, for the subject was now no longer new to any one. He should, under these circumstances, be enabled with the less trouble to give them a measure founded on these resolutions. What he proposed, then, was to withdraw them, and substitute for them a Bill, which in a few days he would have the honour of presenting to their Lordships. In conclusion, he thanked them for the attention with which they had heard his explanation ; he thought it would not have been fair either to the resolutions or himself, if he had withdrawn them without making a few observations on the subject. The resolutions were then withdrawn. Lord BROUGHAM hoped their Lordships would allow him to refer to a very great misrepresentation that had been made of what he uttered on a former occasion. He was most unwilling to give the French Government any cause of complaint. He had been accused in the French newspapers of having stated that the French Government precluded the study of history. Now this was not only not true, but he had expressly stated that in the observations he made he did not mean to allude to France. He did not name the Go vernment to which he referred, because it was not a pleasant thing to do that which might be considered invidious. Yet in the French newspapers he had been replied to at great length, and numerous instances were very unnecessarily given to show that the charge he was supposed to have made was unfounded. Their Lordships would bear him witness, that, as he had before stated, he expressly said he did not refer to the French Government. Such a misrepresentation as this showed that there was no safety in making any statement. Sir M. S. Stewart and other Members of the House of Commons, brought up the Leeds Gas Bill, which was read a first time by their Lordships.—Adjourned. 2,0 )0 2,100 1,500 5,100 11,000 4,000 1.',000 n,cooo F,47,00 2 0,000 6,153 2 ,0010 11,50 c ),000 i,f 00 01 50 57 103 98 10 imi ;,Ym ;-....7:-.7.-71: • ' > : 1 , 1 ;,,,t.

These were the facts generally, and he truate . dr_igul49 l. that he had had a sufficient foundation for his raotioii, \ r. 1.• that this petition be printed. If the Hon. Member whosii name was alluded to in the petition, wished to have it post- • poned to a future day, he should willingly accede to that pro position. The petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed with the votes of the I-louse. (tr" , The HON. MEMBER then gave notice, that to-morrow he should call the attention of the House to the petition, with a view to having it referred to a Select Committee. Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY presented a petition from the burgesses and freemen of Newcastle, expressing their gratification at the measure of Municipal Reform, lately introduced into that House.—(Cries of Hear.") They prayed that the right of voting, the only point to which they objected, would be preserved to the freemen. The Hon. Member also presented petitions from the companies of smiths, coopers, and others of the town of Newcastle, praying that property bequeathed to them far private purposes may be pre served to them. Mr. TULKE presented a petition from Frome in favour of the Municipal Corporation Bill. Sir R. VYVYAN presented a petition from the free Bur gesses of Bristol, praying for the retention of their existing rights in the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill. The Hon. Baronet gave notice that on the bringing up of the Report, he should move for the insertion of a clause to protect the rights of the sons of the freemen of Bristol. CASE OF MR. O'MALLEY. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON moved that Mr. Bransby Cooper be called in. Mr. Cooper having been introduced, the House proceeded to examine him as to the state of Mr. O'Malley's health. The SPEAKER—Are you a surgeon, Mr. Cooper? Witness—l am, Sir. The SPEAKER—Have you attended Mr. O'Malley in Newgate ? Witness—Never, till yesterday. The SPEAKER—Have you seen him to-day ? Witness—l have not. The SPEAKER—Have you only seen him once? Witness—Never more than once, professionally. The SPEAKER—In what state did you find him yesterday? Witness—Very ill. The SPEAKER—Did he labour under any particular com plaint ? Witness—A state of general debility, which, from living near him, I have known him to be suffering under. He was worse yesterday, which I attribute to his confinement. The SPEAKER—Was he labouring under general debi lity, or any local complaint ? Witness—General debility. The SPEAKER—You have not seen him to day ? Witness—No. The SPE AKER—At what time did you see him yesterday Witness—At five o'clock in the afternoon. The SPEAKER— Has he been attended by any other me dical person, before you saw him ? Witness—Sir Astley Cooper and Dr. Farr. The SPEAKER—Recently? Witness—Up to the period to which I allude. An HoN. MEMBER—Did you prescribe for him? Witness—No, I did not. An HoN. MEMBER—I suppose you thought him in that state that physic would do him no good ?—( Laughter.) Witness—l cannot say—his mind and b , ,,dy are in that state that air and exercise only can benefit kirn. Sergeant JACKSON—In your opinion would his constitu tion be injured by the contininlnce of confinement ? Witness—lt would, By Mr. GI SBORNE—I was never consulted before by him ; but I was a near neighbour, and had frequent opportu nities of seeing him. Mr. WAKLEY—When did you see him for the first time? Witness—Last night. Mr. WA KLE Y—By whom were you required to see him? Witness--By Mr. Kelly. Mr. WAKLEY—When you saw him did he speak with regard to any particular complaint? Witness—He did. Mr. WA KLE Y— Are you aware of his complaint ? What is it called ? Witness--There is no particular name—it is something of the nature of tetanus. Mr. WA KLE Y—What did you prescribe for it ? Witness—Liberty. Mr. WAKLE Y—Did you send your prescription to a chemist, or to this House? Witness—To this House,--(Laughter.) Mr. HUME said it was not usual for the House to act upon the evidence of a medical man that had only seen the person once. He thought the House, after the evidence that had been given, would require a certificate from some other medi cal man, as to the state of the health of Mr. O'Malley. Mr. O'CONNELL thought it was a complete mockery to bring a Gentleman forward to give evidence as to the health of a person who had only seen him once. Mr. SHAW defended the course that had been pursued. The gentleman brought to the bar was a person of talent and re spectability, and capable of judging of the health of Mr. 0' Malley. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the evidence of the gentleman that bad been examined was of the most slight description. It was evidence apart from the statements of Mr. O'Malley, that ought not to be attended to at all. Comparing the certificate brought for ward yesterday, and the statement now made, the House would find a great difference. If the House received the evidence that had been given in the case it would be bound to receive it and every other, and if they did so the powers of the House would become a mere matter of course, and the man who. regulated the privileges of the House was the person who could produce the best concocted evidence. The Right Ho nourable Gentleman thought the best course to adopt would be to produce those persons at the bar who were best capable of speaking to the real state of Mr. O'Malley's health; as with the production of that evidence, the House would be enabled to act with justice and humanity. After a few words from Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, Mr. Hawn, and tlr CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it was agreed that no order should be made upon the subject, but that the ques tion should be postponed in order to give Mr. O'Malley an opportunity of bringing forward better evidence to show that longer confinement would be permanently injurious to his. health. The parties, Bond, Clamp, and Cooke, were then called in, when The SPEAKER proceeded to reprimand them, but in a tone of voice which was scarcely audible in the gallery. He said that the House had resolved that they had been guilty of a breach of its privileges, in absconding to avoid the service of a summons requiring them to give testimony before the Com mittee to whom the petition, complaining of an undue return for the borough of Ipswich, had been referred. That was a very grave offence, no doubt, for there was no obligation more binding upon all persons of all ranks and conditions of society, than that of giving all the assistance in their power to the tribunals appointed by that House for fur thering the cause of justice ; yet they having anticipated that an inquiry was likely to be instituted by the House, acting for and in behalf of the people, with the view to maintain the purity and independence of election, and the rights and liberties of their fellow-subjects, knowing well the consequences to which they exposed themselves, had absconded. The House, however, in its clemency and mercy had taken their petitions into consideration, and finding that they had ex pressed their sorrow for the offence which they had committed, were disposed to administer justice mildly, in the hope that what was then sa'd would operate as a warning, and would pro duce a salutary and permanent influence on their future con duct ; and that they would always bear in mind that the best atonement which they could make for the offence of which they had been guilty, and for which they were suffering, was the being ready in all future times to afford that assistance which had been required on the present occasion for further ing the ends of justice. He had only further to inform o:ern that they were discharged on payment of their fees, On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, it was ordered that the reprimand be entered in the journals. Mr. G I SBORNE then rose to make the motion of which he had given notice on the previous apprehended no objection to it, and said that as he sl):Juld not say a single word upon the subject, but content h A ; :naself with moving " that the be instrej oted prosecute all parties who appear, from the evi Committee, to 4 '..e.nce taken before the Ipswich Election }. .ave been guilty of bribery." The 11 7:,.i0n was agreed to, almost without objection—there bein-- 6, we believe, one dissentient voice. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved the Order of the Day for the Committee on this Bill. Mr. HUME, in a low tone of voice, then alluded to the motion of which he had given notice, to the effect that all offices hereafter accepted should be held subject to all such limitations and regulations as Parliament should make. He said that as such large sums had been already paid by way of compensation,_ he trusted that those who accepted offices ander the present Government, took them with a full understanding that the appointments were always held subject to such changes as Parliament might make. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that with respect to any offices accepted under the present Government, the rules which had been laid down by Lord Althorp would be con sidered fully applicable ; but the motion of the Hen. Gentle man went much further. The Noble Lord was then pro ceeding with some further observations, when Mr. HUTT rose to order, saying that he himself bad a motion on the paper, standing before that of the Hon. Member for Middlesex. Mr. HUME was not aware that his Hon. Friend had been in the House. The Hon. Member then postponed his motion, as several other Gentlemen postponed their motions, in order to enable the Municipal Corporations Bill to be brought for ward. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that there was an impression entertained, either real or feigned—not so much, he believed, in that House as out of it, that there existed on the part of himself, and those with whom he acted, a desire to throw some obstruction in the way of the Noble Lord's proceedings with reference to the Bill which the House was now about to con sider. He begged to say, for himself, that he did not enter tain any such reeling ; that, on the contrary, he was most anxious to give every aid in his power to the Noble Lord, on every occasion. He Iv islied, indeed, that some arrangement could be adopted, by which a steady perseverance with the Bill might be insured. The plan of devoting an hour and a h a lf one night, and two hours another night, was not one which admitted of their paying proper attention to the mca sure, and it insurcd the certain result of a succession of a;nendreents beinf! - brought forward on the Report, which ought to have been made in the committee. He knew vvell HOUSE OP COMMONS, Jw 30. In consequence of the Ballot for the Committee on the Penryn Borough Election, the Gallery was not opened until a quarter past four o'clock. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Shef field Gas Bill being moved, Mr. BARC L A Y (we believe) proposed that it be read that day six months. Mr. Halford, Mr. Strickland, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Baines, supported the third reading. Owing to the noise which prevailed in the House, the re marks of the Hon. Gentlemen did not reach the gallery. The Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. E. TENNE NT presented a petition from Belfast, against the Belfast Railway Bill. REDCAR HARBOUR BILL. Mr. CAYLEY, in consequence of some communications he had received, postponed the second reading of this Bill. LEEDS GAS BILL On the motion of Sir G. STRICKLAND, this Bill was read a third time and passed. Sir S. WHAL LE Y presented a petition from the Vestry of Nlarylebone, praying that certain clauses in a Bill then be fore the House, by which the power the Vestry at present pos sessed, of fixing and regulating the stands of hackney cosi-L iles was limited, might be expunged ; also a petition fror - , an indi vidual praying for the repeal of taxes upon ir. iiowledge, and a petition from another individual, g c°n3Pl ' - inin of having been dismissed from the servic e o f th e F- _,Ast India Company, without receiving any compensation.

GORE LANGTON presented a petition from Somersetshire, signed by 400 persons, in favour of the Muni cipal Reform Bill. Sir G. C ARE W presented a petition from Derby, signed by 350 persons, in favour of the Established Church. Mr. MILES presented a petition from Bridgewater against certain parts of the Municipal Reform Bill. YORK ELECTION. Mr. AGLIONBY had a petition to present of considerable importance, to which he wished to call the earnest attention of the House. The petition complained of certain matters con nected with the elections for the town of York, and he should in the first place move that it be printed, in order that it might be in the hands of all the Members of that House previous to his making any motion upon the statements con tained in it. The name of the Hon. Member for Ycrk was alluded to in the petition, but it was not so much an attack unon that Hon. Member, as a complaint against the mode of conducting elections in that town.—( Hear, hear.) He did not go into particulars, but the petition alleged that gross bribery, corruption, and drunkenness were carried on to such a pitch, that electors were unfit to gibe a vote during the election. It also alleged that letters were sent to the voters. containing enelosures of one and two sovereigns, and that the postma❑ had delivered as mane as five or six hundred of a day, taking receipts from the persons to whom they were delivered. It was a rather extraordinary circumstance that lie (Mr. A.) - 4 L / OG~ l Fes.-:: ted the L at red rh ha. Us, 44. mad at- lots is is ued the, , 25. )ek, Lttle asly sent een tee Its.„ glY o ' 10SX t d
