EVENING EDITION IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clock. Mr. BERNAL and others from the Commons brought up a number of private Bills. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON, the Sugar Duties Bill was read a third time and passed: The Tithe Composition (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from a place in Cornwall against any alteration in the Corn-laws. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from a place in the County of Edinburgh against the present Corn-laws. Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented petitions from Paisley and other places in Scotland ag ainst the Corn-laws. The Marquis of BREADA LBANE presented peti tions from Scotland, praying for some legislative enact ment for the better observance of the Lord's Day, by the abolition of Sunday travelling. Also, petitions against any further grant to the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth. The Earl of CLARENDON laid on the table his Bill for regulating the law relating to principal and fac tor, which was read a first time. The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented a petition from Peckham, against the Jews Declaration Bill. SPANISH LEGION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY put a question to the Noble Viscount opposite (Lord Melbourne), relative to the payment of the half-yearly . instalments to the officers engaged in the Spanish Legion. He had put a question on the subject before, and the Noble Lord had promised to make an inquiry into the matter.—(Hear.) Viscount MELBOURNE said measures had been taken preparatory to informing the claimants when the instal ments would be paid, but no claimants had been paid yet. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he should not let the matter drop in the present Session of Parliament. MEETING AT MANCHESTER. The Earl of WILTON wished to put a question to the Noble Marquis (Normanby) opposite, relative to an oc currence which had lately taken place in Manches ter. The transaction to which he alluded, if true, was one of a most disgraceful character. The statement that had been conveyed to him (the Earl of Wilton) was, that a requisition had been sent to the Mayor of Man chester, requesting him to call public a meeting for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the ex isting union between England and Ireland. With that requisition the Mayor refused to comply, and the requisitionists paraded the streets of Manchester with flags and banners. They held a public meeting, and on the hustings were three county Magistrates. During this meeting a riot of a most serious description took place, during which 11 individuals were so injured that they were conveyed to the Infirmary. He (the Earl of Wilton) wished to ask the Noble Marquis if any inquiries had been instituted by the Government re specting it. The Marquis of NORMAYBY said he had not yet made inquiries on the subject, but he would do so. He thought that the statement made to the Noble Earl had been exaggerated. Sir Charles Shaw was at the head of the constabulary force in Manchester, and he felt convinced that if any serious disturbance had taken place he should have heard of it. From what he had heard it appeared that there were two parties at the meeting, and both were violent. IN would, however, make inquiries, but he thought the individuals to whom the Noble Earl had alluded, were not very seriously injured, as they were all out of the infirmary in a day or two. Tho Earl of WILTON said, the circumstance of which he principally complained, was the fact of three county Magistrates being present without attempting to quell the disturbance. THE JEWS DECLARATION BILL. The Marquis of BUTE moved the third reading of the Jews Peclaration The Bishop of LLANDOT would trouble their Lordship's with a few words on this subject. If this Bill passed, it would no longer be necessary for any person holding a public office to be possessed of any reli gion whatever. He (the Bishop of Llandaff) looked on that as calculated to aim a vital blow at the religion and Constitution of the country. The question had often arisen, what was Christianity ? Theologians had differed on the subject ; but he ob jected that a body of men should be included in the pale of that Church who had nothing to do With Chris tianity, and who objected to its principles. He thought if any change was to be made on the subject it ought to he the subject of a specific measure. He should, there fore, more that the Bill be read a third time that day three months. Lord LYTTLETON said he would trouble their Lord ships with but very few observations on this question.. If he had ever heard any argument advanced which could show him that the supporters of this Bill could, with any consistency whatever, refuse to supporta further measure for the admission of the Jews to Parliament, to which he believed the Jews themselves considered this measure as . ' a stepping stone, he might hesitate as to the course which it was his duty to take.—(Hear, hear.) But it was out of doubt that this Bill was but a stepping-stone to what he should consider a monstrous anomaly—namely, the presence of the Jews in the legislature of a Christian country.—(Hear, hear.) It was easy to say that it was impossible to oppose this Bill with any arguments which would not equally apply to the exclusion of any but mem bers of the Church of England. It was a common arti fice to pith to the extreme abstract arguments without regard to those modifications of which they were legitimately capable. It was found that an over whelming proportion of the people of this country belonged to the Established Church, while but an insig nificant minority of the people of this country were of she Jet...jell persuasion. But they found also here a.dif lerence in kind, as well as degree. The Christian pro feesion meant something ; but he would not dwell upon this .subject, which had been so ably argued by the Right Rey. Prelate. Surely the accomplished person who had eahl that there was a greater difference of opinion be tweet the various sects of Christians than between some of them and the Jews, had made a very ill-considered - eeelration.—(Bear, hear.) It was said that the law, as ir at present stood, was easily avoided ; but they must 'either show that they could not make the law sn as it onid not be avoided, or that it was not desirable that )iis law should be complied with. He imagined that *either could be said, and he could not think that any man who sought to fill a municipal office would avni to evade the law. The only other. allegate he rsecrild notice was that the words " on the true faith of a /Christian," introduced in 1702, were not introduced for 'the specific purpose of excluding the Jews. Undoubt '&lly they were not, but they were introduced to excl u d e t ersons not professing the Christian relieion, anel he tied that the test would not be abolished. ' —(Hear.) The Earl of AVINCHILSI?,A. said he thought if the House conceded this point, they could not, with consis tences, refuse any ulterior measure. Up to that moment ,christianity had been part and parcel of the law of eangland, and the English Government had been con -.sidered to be distinctively Christian. If they passed :this Bill they would abandon the claim of the country this proud distinction, and the country would lose its Christian character. It was often said that religion was e v . matter b etween an e individual an d hi s G o d . the cared not whether he was deemed in tolerant, or not, but he would maintain that j eich an opinion was not tenable by the Bible.—(Hear.) the Jews were asked whether they would admit us, -as Christians, to legislate for their country, they would _gay that they could not conscientiously do any such ti l i ng . He did not believe it was the religious Jew de • sired this at their hands it was the political Jew only. alle was sure that the Christianity of this country was the cause of those natio na l bl ess i ngs they had received - itt the hand of the Almighty.—(H ear, hear.) For these - treasons he should support the amen d ment of the Right 'Rev. Prelate.—(Hear, hear.) t ' . The Earl of WICKLOW intended to support the Bill, :.not for a moment thinking it would oblige him at a fin_ tare period to support any Bill for allowing Jews to sit in the Parliament of a Christian country. The law at present was 'extremely loose, as it left the ad m i ss i on of • Jews to Corporations to be settled by the Corporation eitstlf ; and there were three Corporations in En_ land in which Jews now sat. That was not a proper footing on which the law of England ought to stand. They ought either to be admitted or excluded by l aw . Another' circumstance in favour of the Bill was, that thirty-nine Corporations had petitioned for the Bill, and it would be absurd to allow a Jew to fill the important office of Sheriff, and refuse to allow him to be a Com . Orion Councilman, or an Alderman. He would give his hearty concurrence to the Bill. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S thought it highly de sirable to concili4te such a large and wealthy body as our countrymen the Jews, to the land of their birth, although they must always remain so far foreigners and :diens amongst us ; he would therefore support the Bill, which would not alter the nature or character of our Institutions. The Bishop of LONDON said that he heard the speech of the Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of St. Da ..Rl's) with great mort ifi cat i on . He hoped , there was nothing improp er i n th e ex pr e ssion, because his mord -1.,..ati0n arose from the painful sense he had of the weight_ "Mai must be giv en t o an y s ide of the question by a .'mine of such eminent talents and learning as the Itight Reverend Prelate. It was said that there were unbelievers, heretics, and Atheists, who took a part in the Councils of the State, and why not ad mit persons w h o b el i eved in the greater portion of the Scriptures ? To that he would reply that all who were admitted to har e a s h are in the legislation of the country, , - d'r the administration of its laws, were at least Chris tians by profession, and any provision on that score would go no further. But those persons whom this Bill idfected were not only not believers in Jesus Christ, but 'hey were persons who despised His law. He certainly believed that the Jews were men of honour and veracity —many of them men of religion, but he could say, on cauthority which was well founded, that the religion which most of the Jews throughout Europe professed was not the religion of Moses, but the religion of the Talmud. Many of the Jews,too, he had reason to know, doubted whether they could, consistently with their re ligious belief, accept of the political privileges now sought to be conferred upon them. It was for their Lordships to say whether they were content to overturn the sacred principles of the Constitution of this country, to break down the great national bulwark of the religion of the nation. The Earl of GALLOWAY opposed the Bill. whThe Marquis of BUTE replied. , He saw no reason yse Jews should no t b e allowed to perform the same ' in Municipal Corporations which they had done previous to the passim-, of the New Municial Act. It a- Cou depend e d upon the m p of the To wn h Corporation whether the Munieipe.l Act should eput to th e J ews or not. decla ra ti on required by thencil of each The House then divided on the amendment when there apptared-- Cont•nta ................................. c Majority aga i nst the Non-con tenti ........................ Bill ................ _34 PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Punishment of Death Bill. He said that there were some offences such as rape, and riots of a certain descrip tion, and some other offences for which the punishment of death was inflicted by the law, as it before stood, and with respect to those offences the present Bill made no alteration in the punishment. Now, he heartily aproved of the policy of mitigating punishments ; instead of increasing the commission of offences, it had the effect of tending to, and ending in, the diminution, and not the increase of their number. He should state .to their Lordships a fact which would demonstrate the conse quence of the wise and humane provision of the new law. In the three offences of burglary, robbery, and horse stealing, the committals, before the alteration of the law, in a given number of years, amounted to 8,774, and during the same number of years, after the alteration lof the law, they amounted to 7,820, being a diminu tion of 954, or one ninth part of the whole, although, during that period, the population had increased by one-seventh, so that the real diminution was not one ninth but one fourth. He would only remind their Lord ships, in the next instance, of the crime of forgery, to which precisely the same observations applied through out a period of ten years, He thought it his duty in open ing this measure to the House to state these gratifying facts. The Marquis of NORMANBY did not object to the motion of his Noble and Learned Friend. If he had not made the motion it was his (the Marquis of Nor manby's) intention to have taken the same step. He would take thin opportunity of reading to their Lord ships the result of an investigation he had made during last vacation upon that subject. In three instances in which executions had followed conviction within the last few years, the result in the succeeding year was a dimi nution in the number of capital convictions in relation to the committals. Lord BROUGHAM was not aware when he had risen of what the Noble Marquis's intentions were with regard to the Bill ; he would therefore consign the charge of it to the Noble Marquis. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that notwith standing the awful odds that were opposed to him, he would, even if he stood alone, stand up against the en actment of a clause which took away from female weak ness any protection it could have from ruthless vio lence. Parliament ought, before abolishing the punish ment of death for the crime of rape, to consult the elder classes of the female portion of the inhabitants of the country.—(Hear, hear.) If he stood alone, he would divide the House on the enactment of the clause. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Several Bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 11. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. The following bills were read a third time and passed : The East Retford Court of Requests, the Gainsborough Small Debts, the Canterbury Pavement, the Dublin Wide Streets, the Scottish Insurance Company, and New ton Heathcote Estate Bills. Stone's Estate Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Mr. GROTE presented forty-two petitions from London and Westminster, praying for an alteration in the Corn-laws. Also, a petition to the same effect from Worcester. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from an individual of the name of James Surrey, of Bat tersea, praying that foreign corn might be ground in bond for exportation. Mr. STRUTT presented a petition praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. General JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the borough of Oldham, very numerously and respectably signed. The petitioners stated that the Corn-laws were contrary to every principle of morality and religion ; and they . prayed that they, and all taxes upon food, might be immediately repealed. Petitions in favour of Church Extension were pre sented by Mr. Codrington, from . Gloucester ; by Mr. Pakington, from seventeen places in Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire ; and by Lord Ingestrie from Staf ford and Gloucester. Petitions in favour of the Cizn-law were presented by Mr. Round, from places in Essex ; by Mr. Dugdale, from Warwickshire :by Colonel Rolleston, from Upton, Not tinghamshire ; by Lord Ingestrie from several places in Staffordshire ; and by Lord Charles Manners from places in Derbyshire, and from Ashby-de-la Zouch and three other places in Leicestershire. Petitions, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws, were presented by Mr. B. Wood from St. Mary, Rotherhithe ; by Mr. T. Duncombe, from Finsbury, and three other districts of the metropolis ; by Mr. Ward, from Preston and Teddington, in Yorkshire ; by Mr. Dunbar, from Orkney and Argyleshire ; by Sir John Hobhouse, from Nottingham and three other places ; by Mr. Gibson Craig, from Glasgow ; and by Mr. Collins, from War wickshire. Dr. LUSHING TON presented a petition from the Minor Canons of St. Paul's Cathedral, complaining that no compensation lihd been awarded them under the Ec clesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow against any alteration in the Scotch currency. Mr. MERVYN ARCHDALE presented a petition from Fermanagh, praying for the restoration of the Episcopal Sees, and in favour of the Maynooth College_ Bill. Sir J. C. HOBITOITSE moved for certain returns re lating to the Importation of Hill Coolies.—Ordered. Mr. BINGHAM BARING presented several peti tions in favour of Church Extension. Mr. VILLIERS presented petitions against the Corn laws, numerously signed, from Ramsgate, from 'North wich (360 women), from Old Swinford (Worcestershire). from Wilsford and Broniham (Wiltshire), from Yeovil (Somersetshire), from the wood-sawyers in Bilston, from Messrs. Hooper and Co. (Eastington Mills, Gloucester shire),from G uisborough,Langford,andllepton Hall,York - shire ; operatives at the Junction Factory, Statfbrd ; from the labourers in the parish of Haddenham, in the county of Bucks ; and from the inhabitants of the borough of Elgin, in Scotland. postponed to Tuesday next tho mo tion of which he had:given notice, on the Order of the Day for going into Committels of Supply being read, to call the attention of the House to the injustice done to the middle and lower classes of society by the present system of legislation, and particularly by the existing Corn-laws. On the motion that the School Sites Bill be read a third time, CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. Mr. FRESHFIELD said he would avail himself of that opportunity of calling the attention of the House to a question he believed to be of some importance to the general business of the House. He saw upon the paper a notice of the Hon. Member for Sheffield, that he should move , that the Attorney-General be directed to _ prose cute the Honourable Henry Thomas Manners Sutton and his agents for bribery at the last election for Cam bridge. The Hon. Member no doubt had given his notice upon the supposition that this was a matter of privilege. The Honourable Member might press his motion, on the ground of the importance of the subject ; but if he argued that it was matter of privilege, it would then become necessary to take the opinion of the Speaker upon the subject. Now, he (Mr. reshfield, contended that it was not a matter of privilege. It neither related to the conduct of a Mem ber of that House, nor was it a matter which in any degree tended to obstruct the functions of that House. These matters had sometimes been treated as matters of privilege if the proceedings were recent; but this par ticular motion had reference to a by-gone transaction of two years' standing. If it was to be treated as a question of privilege, he hoped they would be favoured with the Speaker's opinion on the subject. Mr. WARD said that every one of the arguments against his motion applied equally to that of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, respecting the St. Alban's election. Yet the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. W. Wynn) was so im pressed with the opinion that it was a question of privilege, that he made it a matter of grace and favour to spare the House a discussion on Monday, giving notice that he should bring it for ward before the orders of the clay on Tuesday. Ho would therefore submit to the House that the cases stood in precisely the same position, but even if there was a doubt on the question of privi leges, the one case was as doubtful as the other was represented to be, and he would put it to the House whether in common justice the same facility should not be afforded to the examination of the one as the other.—(Hear, hear.) Sir E. SUGDEN said there was a clear distinction between the two cases, the one being recent, and the othe r a b ygone transaction of a former Session ; but as th ere might be a doubt whether it was a question of privilege, and as no objection was made on tithnenontfheprrisvidilengthe,atntehehSopt. Ad l h ba is n's llo c n ase e.r was not a ques press his objection, btallohwis tpoaHrtoyn clanimdo . Gentlemen oppo site the same advantages them selves.—(Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER said, that his opinion having been asked whether the m o ti on of the Hon. Memberfor Sheffield was one relating to privilege, he answered that he had no doubt that it was in no way a matter of privi lege. But as the Honourable M em b er had given notice of his motion before the other Orders of the Day, there could be no objection to his so bringing it forward, but the Hon. Member could not claim precedence on the ground that it was matter of privilege. If the question had been I.lt to him (the Speaker) the other evening, when the St. Alban's case was brought on, whether it was matter of privilege, he should have had very great doubt about the matter, but he was not inclined t o think it a question of privilege.—(Hear, hear.) The subject was then postponed by consent until one or two Orders of the Day were disposed of. SCHOOL SITES BILL. The School Sites' Bill was read a third time and passed, BANKS OF ISSUE BILL. On the motion of Mr. C. WOOD the Banks of Issue Bill was read a third time and passed. DOG CART BILL. The Dog Cart Bill was also read a third time and passed. Sir R PEEL moved for and obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Bill, already in existence, for the trial of controverted elections. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. Mr. WARD then rose to make the motion of which he had given notice, for the prosecution of Mr. Manners Sutton and his agOnts for bribery at the Cam bridge election. He could assure the House that he rose with great pain and reluctance to undertake a duty with which he should never have thought of saddling himself, except for the new reading which the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montgomery had given him of his duty with respect to bribery at elections. After quoting from the speech of Mr. Wynne of Monday, he said the eases of briber y y in the blue books were so numerous, that the only difficulty was the difficulty of choice. There was the Evesham case where Mr. Borth- ; wick was dispossessed from his seat for an act of bribery committed by his own hands. He might have cited the Ipswich case, or that of York, but he preferred to take the most recent case, and therefore he had chosen the case of Cambridge. In that case they had many things which were wanting in the case of St. Alban's. In the Cambridge case, the evidence of the witnesses was sifted, and -the accused party had an opportunity of making his defence. None of these things were to be found in the St. Alban's case ; and in the Cambridge case they had a one-sided decision ; for the Noble Lord opposite (Earl Darlington) and an Hon. Gentleman, one of the Members for Kent, voted in the majority. It was a case which had been too long overlooked, and, after what had been stated on Monday night, could be overlooked no longer. It was then stated that bribery was greatly on the increase—that it had become a trade, and was conducted with so much dexterity that it was almost impossible to be proved. Well, here was a case which had been proved to the satisfaction of a Committee of that House, why not make an example? The Hon. Member for Monmouthshire said because of the position of Dr. Webster—because he was not an ig norant man, but belonging to one of the liberal profes sions—his example was doubly pernicious. He quite agreed with him in that. Well, here was a case in which higher game was concerned—they had higher game to fly at. Here was a gentleman who had almost a hereditary right to a knowledge of the rules and practices of that House. Now, he hoped he would have the honour of the Right Hon. Gentleman's support on the present occasion, al though he found the principle and practice did not always go hand in hand together. He thought there could be no better proof before the House of the nature of the bribery that was carried on, than the Report of the Committee appointed by that House to try the merits of the petition. They reported that the Hon. Henry Manners Sutton was, by his agents, guilty of bribery and treating at last Cambridge election ; and that an extensive and corrupt system of bribery and treating was carried on among many of the influential members of the constituency. These resolutions were carried by majorities of five and six to one of the mem bers of the Committee. It appeared that the agents of the Honourable Candidate were William Swan and , Samuel Long, and the latter appeared to be one of those individuals, designated by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montgomeryshire as employed to de stroy the link of evidence between the briber and the bribed.—(Hear, hear.) Samuel Long was proved to have been an instrument in the bribing of two electors, the one George Smith, and the other William March. The case of George Smith was to be found towards the close of the Report, and it seemed to have been conducted with much cleverness and inge nuity on the part of Mr. Samuel Long. Smith was a shoemaker, and Long went to him and ordered a pair of shoes. On that occasion he gave him some advice as to the duty of a poor man to disregard politics, and to vote as his own interests might require ; adding that he could put a few pounds in his pocket if he voted for Mr. Manners Sutton. At a subsequent interview he tried not only advice but wine ; he gave wine to the voter, and then told him, to cut the matter short about the election, that he would give him 101. for his vote. He could give 9/. then, and he would receive the re maining pound when he brought home the shoes. He afterwards changed his mind, under an apprehension, perhaps, of the consequences, and told the man not to come himself, but to send his wife. for the money. As to bribery, he said it was all nonsense and stuff.—(Laughter.) " I suppose," said the Counsel, " you washed that down with another glass of wine ?" to which the witness answered that he be lieved there was another glass. The evidence of Smith was confirmed by that of his wife, who stated that she had received the money, and took it home to her hus band. He marked the sovereigns with a file, and af terwards carried them to Mr. Francis Eden, who pro duced them before the Committee. The Committee was of opinion, from the evidence adduced, that Long, against whom the charge had been proved,wasthe agent of Mr. Ma nners Sutton. He would next come to the case of W.March. The case of March was different from the case of Smith in one respect only. March was a watchmaker, and a diffe rent mode of action was adopted. The agent went to March and purchased a brooch, but precisely the same mode of argument was used as had been used in the case of Smith. March was told that a poor man like himself had little to do with the election, that he had best look out for his own interest; he gave him wine, and he (Mr. Ward) supposed, deducting a per tentage from the bribe on account of his cleverness in bribing, he gave March nine sovereigns instead of ten. March had a conversation with Cooper on the subject, and when Long accused him of having betrayed March, said that he had no wish to injure Long, but that he hoped that those who had employed him would be punished. If, they really wished to put an end to this system of corruption they should not merely pro secute the agents, but the persons from whom the cor ruption originated. It was sometimes difficult to trace the corruption up to its source, but in the present instance the links in the chain were more than usually complete— so complete that they traced their agents as canvassing with Mr. M. Sutton, and as in constant communication with Mr. Manners Sutton's known and recognised agent, as ordering beer for the refreshment of Mr. Manners Sutton's voters, which were all paid for to the amount of 800/., by Mr. Fiske, Mr. Manners Sutton's known and recognised agent. The House having laid down the broad line the other night that it would pro ceed against the parties in all cases of bribery, he thought it was bound to proceed in the present case where a prima facie case of bribery had been made out, and the House if it wished really to put down bribery ought not to proceed merely against humble individuals like Mr. Webster, who was now declining into the vale of years., and who had no longer the energy of youth about him, but against individuals who, like Mr. Manners Sutton, had had the honour of a seat in that House. The parties who lodged three or four thousand pounds in the hands of their bankers for the purpose of corrupt ing the electors, were the really guilty parties, and ought rather to be prosecuted than those who were detected in dealing out a fractional portion of that corruption to the electors. The House, therefore, having taken the line that it did the other night—he did not say whether it was a prudent line or not—were bound to follow up that course, and the greater and higher the personages were against whom the prosecution was instituted, the greater would be the effect of the example, and the more effectually would they put an end to those practices to which they ' were desirous of putting an end. They would more ef fectually arrest the crime of bribery than by merely proceeding against obscure individuals such as William Swan and Samuel Long. He might be told that a person who had not committed bribery in his own person, but by an agent, was not guilty of bribery. He (Mr. Ward) said that such a man was morally guilty ; but he did not mean to risk his motion on such a question as that, and he had, therefore, in addition to the first re solution relative to the prosceution of Swan and Long, introduced a second resolution, for which he would cer tainly vote himself, whether largely supported or not, and by which further proceedings were directed to be taken against the Hon. Henry Thomas Manners Sutton, believing as he (Mr. Ward) did, that the links connecting Mr. Sutton with his agents Swan and Long were complete. He should theretore put his motion with confidence to the House, and leave it with Hon. Mem bers to deal with it as they thought fit. Sir C. LEMON said, as chairman of the Committee On the Cambridge Election, he thought it was important that the House should understand what were the grounds upon which the Committee adopted their Report. the Committee first came to the conclusion that the agents of Mr. Manners Sutton had been guilty of bribery. It was suggested to them afterwards that they departed in some measure from the usual form adopted by the House, and they then altered their resolution to the form of the second resolution proposed by the Honourable Gentleman.—(Hear, hear, hear.) They thought that the question which they had to try was not whether Mr. Manners Sutton, in his own person, had been guilty of bribery, but whether his agents had been guilty of it, and they came to the conclusion upon the evi dence that they had been and were connected with hlm. But he would remind the Honourable Gentleman of the distinction drawn by Chief Justice Abbott between this case and a prosecution in the Courts of Law. With respect to Mr. Long, the evidence was as clear as it possibly could be, He net only gave the bribe, but he explained to the party for what purpose it was given —namely, with the view of influencing his vote ; and there was not the smallest doubt that it Mr. Long had been prosecuted at the time conviction would have fol lowed. The question,however, for the House to consider was whether, after this matter had been allowed to rest for a year and a half, it would be proper to commence a prosecution. If not vindictive, the proceeding would at least be retaliative. However worthless the individual might be, he thought, after a twelvemonth had elapsed, it was too late to commence a prosecution. If the motion, thersfore, was persisted in, he should feel it his duty to oppose it. The Earl of DARLINGTON concurred in the re marks which had fallen from the Honourable Ba wnet. It was needless to say that whoever might be the individual concerned, whether of high or low station, whether friend or foe, in any act of delinquency, he would give his verdict impartially. He was not present when his Hon. Friend brought forward his motion with respect to Dr. Webster; but he certainly was astonished when he found that a number of Gentlemen who professed the greatest horror of bribery had done all in their power to shelter him.— (Hear.) He believed a more flagrant case than that had never come before the House of Commons. He would now address himself to the subject before the House. Mr. Long (we understood the Noble Lord) had undoubtedly been guilty of bribery, but he ought to have been prosecuted at the time, With regard to Mr. Swan there had been a good deal of discussion as to whether he could be proved to have been connected with Mr. Manners Sutton. So far as his (Lord Darlington's) memory served him, there was no evidence to show that Mr. Swan had any personal communication whatever with Mr. Sutton. There was a good deal of difference of opinion upon the subject among the Members of 'the Commiteee, and, for his part, he had voted that Mr. Swan's agency had not been proved ; but the Committee having come to a contrary decision, he afterwards voted that the case of bribery had been made out. He would also add that, though Mr. Swan'had been subpoenaed by the Counsel for the prosecution, they never brought him forward and for no other reason, as appeared to him (Lord D.), than that his evidence upon a cross-examination might militate against them. He would leave the House, after a statement of these facts, to judge for itself upon the case of Mr. Swan. He would next come to Mr. Manners Sutton, against whom he thought the Hon. Gentleman opposite had not established one single charge. Let him be allowed to add, that so hard did the- Committee think the case of Mr. Manners Sutton, that, though he could not retain his seat, so guiltless did they consider him of any kind of bribery, thp in • THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDA V. JUNE 12. 1841. the resolution they had passed in the first instance, they had omitted his name altogether. It was only in the second resolution they had come to, after the objection of Mr. Austin to the first as illegal and unprecedented, that it had been de cided that Mr. Manners ,Sutton had been, guihy of bribery through his agents at the election. Mr. Sutton took no part in the election whatever. He was applied to by the Conservatives to stand for the borough, and he was required to pay 3001. towards the expenses of the election. It was the only part Mr. Sutton took in the election, and he did not think a sufficient case had been made out to warrant the Hous3 in giving its assent to the motion of the Hon. Membe2 for Sheffield. Mr. PROTHEROE said it had been distinctly proved before the Committee that the agents of Mr. Sutton had contributed to a fund the avowed object of which was the corruption and bribery of the electors. He believed, however, that as far as Mr. Sutton was concerned individually that he stood as clear as any man could who represented one of those old and corrupt constituencies.—(Hear, hear.) It certainly appeared to him that much more blame ought to be attributed to the electors than the candidates, for it was impossible to ex ercise any influence over the constituencies without falling into the corrupt practices that prevailed in these boroughs; and on these grounds he objected to the prosecution of Mr. Sutton. Mr. THESIGER thought it was quite impossible that any success could follow the prosecution of the individuals who were named in the resolution of the Hon. Member. It appeared to him that the sole -object for which it was brought forward was to meet a resolution emanating from his side of the House. It was not consistent with the dignity of that House to proceed upon a spirit of retaliation.—(Cheers.) Each case should stand upon its own merits, and it was no light mat ter to direct a prosecution against a gentleman, to meet the wishes of his political opponents. He thought that the House ought to be very careful in deed before it sanctioned the carrying on of such a prosecution as that proposed by the Hon. Member for Sheffield. He would not refer to what had taken place a few nights since —(Cheers from the Ministerial benches) —because he considered that it had nothing to do with the present investigation. For his own part, if he thought that the case now under the consideration of the House called for prosecution, he - would have given his vote in favour of the Honourable Member for Sheffield. What was the state of the parties in the present case ? There were three parties before the House, Mr. M. Sutton, Mr. Swann, and Mr. Long. Now, he was ready to admit that if either Mr. Long or Mr. Swann had been guilty of bribery with the know ledge of Mr. Manners Sutton, he would have been as much implicated as any of these parties ; but no person would venture to say that such was the case. There was, therefore, not the slightest pretence for the present prosecution, and he submitted to the House, whe ther it would not, by adopting the present motion, place itself in a most odious situation with the country. Against Mr. M. Sutton there was no case, against Mr. Swann there was no case sufficient to secure a convic tion. He was not going to defend the conduct of Mr. Long. A clear case of yersonal bribery had been made out against him, and if a presecution were instituted against him there could be no doubt but that it must be followed by conviction. But perhaps the House was not aware that at the present moment there was a prosecution against Mr. Long. After the Borough Session in 1840, he had been taken before a bench of Magistrates, on a warrant issued by Professor Henslow for bribery, and had been held to bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each. That indictment had sub sequently been removed by certiorari into the Court Queen's Bench, and it was ripe for trial in the spring of 1840. But the attorney for the prosecution, who was also the attorney for the prosecution against Mr. Manners Sutton, had met Long, and an agreement had been en tered into between them that the prosecution should be foregone provided Long would give evidence, before the Committee, against Mr. M. Sutton. He had stated to that attorney that at the Eagle Mr. Mitchell had, in the presence of Mr. M. Sutton; handed dver to him, Long, forty sovereigns for the purpose of bribing the electors, but when he appeared before the Com mittee on his oath he denied the whole statement. He (Mr. Thesiger) would not defend the integrity of Long ; but however worthless he might be, it was much more likely that when speaking under the obligation of an oath he would speak the truth, than when speaking to the agents of the opposing candidates. He appealed to the Attorney-General whether he had ever known of a person being criminally indicted for acts of which he had no personal knowledge or cognizance. The parties who actually bribed were liable to action and to penalty, but he trusted they would not introduce a principle un recognised in law, and which could not be attended with any success.—(Hear,-hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had not on the for mer occasion, and he should not on the present, offer any opinion whatever upon the matter ; because sitting in that House as the public officer of the Government, it might devolve upon him afterwards to prosecute these parties.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think it would be decent for him, under such circumstances, to say anything upon the merits of the ease ; and he did not think his Hon. and Learned Friend had exercised a sound discre tion in making an appeal to him.—(Hear, hear.) Sir E. SITG DEN said that there was no ground whatever for instituting a prosecution against Mr. Man ners Sutton, because his name had been very reluctantly introduced into the resolution by the Committee, on the suggestion of Mr. Austin, who said that otherwise the resolutions would be inoperative. He denied that there was any ground for imputing personally to Mr. Sutton any share in the bribery that had taken place. He should certainly oppose the motion. Mr. IVARD said, after the expression of the opinion of the house that had been given, he did not mean to divide it upon the second resolution with regard to Mr. Manners Sutton, bur he thought he was justified in pressing the resolution With regard to his agents (Messrs. ' Swann and Long) to a division, because they had been proved to have been guilty of the grossest bribery and corruption. Lord RUSSELL said it appeared to him that the Hon. Member had acted judiciously in withdrawing the second resolution ; and with rospect to the two parties to whom the first resolution referred, Swann had not taken any active part in the matter, and it would require addi tional evidence to bring the charge home to him ; but it was clear that a case of gross bribery had been made Out with regard to Long; and that the House might, in his case, very properly interfere. He would recommend to the Hon. Member for Sheffield, therefore, to separate these two parties, and bring forward a resolution with respect to Long only.—(Hear.) Mr. W. WYNN said he should be very sorry to see a prosecution for 'bribery entertained where the bribery was by agents only, without proof of knowledge, be cause it would interfere with the Committee, and prevent them doing that with respect to the sitting Member, which they could legally do, though there were no grounds for prosecution. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he thought the object of the prosecution would be fully gained, by passing the resolution now moved,' because it would then be left to the discretion of the' Attorney-General, which he hoped would be faithfully exercised, as to the mode in which the prosecutions should be instituted.—(Hear.) Mr. HOBHOUSE hoped his Hon Friend would have no objection to put his motion in the technical form that would be agreeable to the House, and for his own part he should give it his support. Mr. WARD said he should not object to the propo sal of the Noble Lord, to place two resolutions in the hands of the Speaker, making the prosecution apply in the first' instance to Long, and afterwads to Swann. With reference to what had fallen from the Honourable Member for Woodstock respecting i is being derogatory to the dignity of the House to institute retaliatory pro secutions, he begged to observe that there was a spirit of consistency as well as of retaliation, and it was his opi nion the House would best consult its dignity by showing its impartiality.—(Cheers.) He would, therefore, re quest leave to put the resolution in a twofold form, the first with reference to Samuel Long, and the second with reference to William Swann.—(Hear, hear.) Strangers were then ordered to withdraw ; we un derstood that in our absence the motion, as regarded Mr. Long, was agreed to, and on the resolution, as regarded Mr. Swan, the Housedivided, when the numbers were— For the motion 7B Against the motion 46 Majority —32 The resolution for the prosecution of both parties was therefore carried. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Report upon the Bribery at Elections Bill was agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners Bill was ordered to be committed to-morrow. The Church-rates Abolition Bill was withdrawn. The Tralee Navigation and Harbour Bill was read a third time, and passed. The further consideration of the Debts of Parishes Bill was adjourned till to-morrow. HERTFORD REGISTRY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE obtained leave to bring in a Bill more effectually to enforce the printing, and the speedy delivery, at a reasonable price, of copies of the registry of electors in England and Wales ; and to make provision for the printing of the registry of the present year of the electors of the county of Hertford. The remainder of the business was then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter after Eight o'Clock, until to-morrow.

During the year 1840, 21,863 bales of wool were shipped from Sydney for London, 5,410 for Liverpool, 70 for Bristol, and 344 for Boston, United States. The number of vessels which arrived at Port Jackson was 331 ships, 123 brigs, and 72 schooners, exclusive of those from the different ports in Aus tralia. The number of steamers belonging to the colony was 13, and an additional one wars being built for Port Phillip, to be launched in February.. The increase to the population during the year had been 9,491, including 2,543 convicts. Upwards of 2,000 more had arrived at Port Phillip. Abaut 8,000 of the attire number had come out under the bounty sys tem. Sydney supports seven newspapers, one daily, four three times a week, one twice a week, and one weekly. _At Mel bourne there are three, twice a week. At Geelong one, weekly. Maitland and Portland Bay will each shortly have its journal. A Mutual Insurance Association exists in _Sydney, which has already received premiums upon upwards of 600,0001. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Sir R.lnglis last night gave expression to the hopes which animate that, by no meaussmall, section of the Tory party of which he is the leader—and thus disclosed what ought to operate as a warning to the country. We by no means attribute to Sir R. Peel a disposition, even if he possessed the power, to indulge the " Church Ex tensionists" in their mischievous project of increasing the national burdens for the purpose of " extending" the Church by building a large number of additional churches. Sir R. Peel knows well, as every one who observes what is passing a7o:lid him must know, that to carry such a project into ezenation would create disgust in the minds of men of all creeds, not excepting that of the Establishment itself—a feeling which would not merely diminish the influence, but might endanger the stability of the institution it is designed to extend. But should the Tories be called to office, their leaders would not be allowed to act upon their own opinions. The party which clamour for " Church Extension," as the panacea for our national disorders, are too sincere in their opinion of the infallibility of their nostrum, and too ardent and persevering in their zeal to secure its adop tion by means of Parliament, to be turned aside from their purpose. Expediency forms no part of their poli tical system. They repudiate it, as alike odious to Hea ven and to righteous men—the source of weakness to a political party—the abandonment of principle for the ever-shifting scale of convenience. The Church Exten sion scheme was well nigh causing a serious breath be tween Sir H. Inglis and the moderate Tories in the course of last session. Sir Robert Peel strongly urged its postponement. To bring it forward at such a time was exceedingly inconvenient highly inexpe dient : it would damage the party by exciting a powerful feeling in the country against it. The im practicable representative of Oxford University con tinued firm to his purpose ; and threatened to with draw his support from the expectant Premier i he did not show his approbation of the scheme by voting for his resolution. It was notorious that Sir R. Peel's constrained, sulky, silent vote on that occasion was anything but sa tisfactory to Sir R. H. Inglis and the Church Eaten simists; and the absence from the House of the " worldly politicians" of the party—some of whom were heard to wish the motion and its author at a place which must not be named to " ears polite"—by no means tended to dimi nish the dissatisfaction. STANDARD.—It will be seen with regret that the hurry and confusion into which the greedy tenacity of office by Ministers has driven all the important legislative business of the country, have compelled Sir Robert Inglis to defer his motion upon Church Extension for another Parliament. The postponement is in one sense unsatisfac tory, because it is a calamity that a single hour is lost in providing for the religious wants of the people ; but there is the consolatory assurance, on the other side, that the next Parliament will be one better disposed to second the exertions of the admirable Member for Ox ford University. Sir Robert last night presented 164 peti tions in fevour of Church Extension, making with those previously presented by him no less than 500 ! Last night exhibited another shabby, and therefore charac teristic, trick, played by Ministers. At an early period of the evening, Lord John Russell volunteered an expression of regret; that it would not be possible to proceed properly with the Bribery at Elections Bill ; this volunteer ex pression Sir Robert Peel understood as a formal aban donment of the measure, and left the House, saying that the Noble Lord "had exercised a sound discretion in withd; awing the Bill." Sir Robert Peel was fol lowed by many of his friends ; and no sooner were their backs turned than Lord J. Russell moved the com mittal of that very Bill which he had but a few minutes before pretended to abandon. Mr. Wynn, Sir R. Inglis, and others, remonstrated against this flagrant de ception, but Lord John happened, as there were only about 70' Members present, to have a majority, and he was determined to make the most of so rare an op portunity. Accordingly, he proceeded with his Bill. The thing is of little importance or interest, except as an illustration of the tricky propensities of the Ministers, for the only fault of the Bill is, that it will be wholly in operative. COURIER.—Lord John Russell may chance to find hereafter, if he do not find already, the inconvenience of a too well established repute for cunning and chica nery. In the end, even those who cultivate these arts or qualifications with the most eomplete success, often finish by overreaching themselves, in the overflow of their own zeal and confidence. Lord John afforded last evening an other sample of his peculiar 'dexterity for achieving a small advantage by getting rid of a troublesome Mentor, when standing in the way of a favourite scheme to be surrepti tiously accomplished. The Bribery at Elections Bill stood on the vote parr for discussion in Committee last night—a Bill clearly of too much importance to be summarily disposed of, or to be entertained at all further, perhaps, at so advanced a period of a Session, which, it is not only understood, but agreed on by compact, is to terminate within a very few days. Moved apparently by these reasonable considera tions, Lord John proposed to postpone the measure. He said that, "if he could hope that the House would be able to devote a sufficient degree of attention to the de tails, this was certainly a period at which it was most important to have such a Bill passed ; but he very much feared that they would not be able to give the sub ject such a degree of attention as would be neces sary and satisfactory to the House and the country, if they were to go on with it." To which Sir Robert Peel rejoined that " he had voted for the second reading, and lie thought that it was most important for those who wished to act fairly at the elections that an accurate defi nition of bribery should be laid down." And, after re marking on the difficulties which beset the question of the definition of what was bribery, he concluded thus— " However, considering the very few days which must elapse before the session closed, he was inclined to think that the Noble Lord had exercised a wise discretion in withdrawing the Bill." Shortly afterwards the Right Honourable Baronet quitted the House, with the under standing, of course, that the Bill would not be proceeded with. Some further business was then disposed of, after which, to the surprise of all the Members present, \Sir Robert, as before said, being absent, Lord John Rus sell proposed to go into committee on the Bribery Bill, and actually persisted in forcing on the discussion of various clauses, although distinctly reminded by Sir Robert Inglis and Colonel Sibthorp that Sir Robert Peel " had left the House under the distinct impression that the bill would not be proceeded with." It is not necessary to characterize conduct so shuffling and incon sistent, as the bare recital of the facts is sufficiently con demnatory. !ROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WAR-OFFICE, JUNE 11, 1841.
