MORNING EDITION ships could be postponed until to-morrow. He hoped his Noble Friend would persevere in his motion for ex punging the clause. The Marquis of NORMA.NBY explained. The Earl of DEVON saw no occasion to postpone the debate. There was at present a full attendance of Peers, which it might not have on another occasion. He thought the division of their Lordships should now be taken upon the amendment of the Noble Earl (Winchilsea). He had always been an advocate for the mitigation of the criminal code whenever it was calculated - to lead to a certainty of prosecution and conviction ; but he did not think the alteration proposed by the present measure would produce that effect, and he should therefore give his vote in favour of the amendment. The Earl of HAREWOOD thought that the House ought not to be bound by the opinions of the Judges, however valuable they might be, when they were taken in private. Whether juries would do their duty or not, he thought the crimes enumerated in the clause were worthy of death. The Earl of RADNOR said the wish of all good citizens must be to repress crime, and if Juries would not convict, if they would commit perjury rather then find persons guilty when the punishment was drAtn, it was their duty toalter the law. The Earl of HADDINGTON said he saw no reason why there should not be as full a House to-morrow as to-day, as he felt convinced that every Noble Lord must take an interest in this matter. He thought they ought therefore to adjourn the debate. The Earl of WINCHILSEA said he thought it would have been advisable to have COnsulted the Learned Judges in the matter. Lord DENMA.T. said that had he been aware that such an amendment as had been proposed had been con templated, he would have taken an opportunity of con sulting the Learned Judges on the point, for the purpose of the House having the advantage of their experience ; but not for the purpose in any way of dictating - to the House, but that their Lordships might have the opinions of parties who must naturally be well acquainted with the subject. After a law words from Lord ABINGER, Lord BROUG HAM, and the Earl of DEVON, The Duke of WELLINGTON said he thought there could ha no difficulty in adjourning the debate till to morrow, as all the questions involved in the Bill would still remain, open for consideration. It appeared to him that those questions required for their consideration time and opportunity. But he was afraid if they did not ad journ the debate, that they would neither have time nor opportunity.—(A laugh.) The Earl of WINCHILSEA said that he should move to-morrow that the clause be expunged. The motion for the adjournment of the debate until to morrow was then put and agreed to. The School Sites Bill was read a third time and passed. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. quis of NORMANBY having moved that the House 14 uld resolve itself into a Committee upon this Bill, Lord _BROUGHAM said he thought some measures should be taken to abolish that detestable practice, which bid fair to destroy the elective franchise of the country — he meant the system of wholesale bribery at elections ; but he did not think that the present Bill was calculated: to produce the desired effect. He confessed that he did not see any ob;ection to the last clause of the Bill. Lord ABINGER said that many attempts had been made in the House of Commons, to put an end to the practice of bribery at elections. He could not but think. from the vary history of the subject, that the measure ' was one of that nature that demanded the most delibe rate consideration, which could not be given on this, the last day of the Session but one. He could not think that the framers of the Bill ever intended that it should pass. He would, however, in consequence of what had fallen ,from the Noble and Learned. Lord opposite (Lord Brougham), abandon his original intention of moving that the Bill be committed that day three months. The Marquis of NORMANBY repudiated in the strongest manner the idea of the framers of the measure never intending that the Bill should pass. Their Lord ships might dissent from, the introduction of a novel principle in the law of evidence ; but he could nut for a moment imagine that the framers of the Biil never in tended that it should pass. The Bill then passed through Committee, on the un derstanding that it should be amended on the third reading. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 17 The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.

On the motion / of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL the Ordfr of the Day for the Committee on Offences against the person Bill was read for the purpose of being dis charged. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman stated that the enactments in the Bill were embodied in another measure, which had previously passed the House.—The Order was then discharged. FOREIGN FACTORIES. Mr. WODEHOUSE moved "That an humble Address be presented to her Ma j esty, praying that she will be gra ciously pleased to g ive directions, that there be laid (3be fore Parliament , throu g h the medium of her Ambassado rs o r other Diplomatic Residents abroad, co p ies of all re gulations establi shed in foreign factories, together with such explanations in detail as the nature of the cases will admit ; describing the character ,of the food used therein, the wages paid th erein, whether in specie or hi kind, &c. &c., in order to enable Parliament to form a iva as to the degree in which the usages of other countries are at -variance with the tastes, habits, and enjoyments of the manufacturing population of Great Britain." The Hon. Member said that he had, a few days ago, called upon the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colo nies, to press upon his attention the advantages she which would result from th e p ro p osed inquiry ; an ha understood that the Noble Lord would not oppose the -motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not wish that the motion should be agreed to in the absence of his Right Hon. Friend, who had, he believed, some suggestions to make upon the subject. He was anxious that the motion should be)stponed until the usual ti me for publi c b us i ness , as had been just done in the case of the Court of Chancery Bill. _ Mr. BAINES did no t wish that the question should !):carried at that early period of the evenin g , the r absenc e o f hi s H on .

I On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL this Bill went through Committee, was reported without amendments, and was ordered to w he read a third time to morrow. PRDTCE EDWARD'S ISLAND. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the Speaker of the House of Assembly of Prince Edward's Island. It referred to certain printed documents which accompanied it, but which of course could not be laid before the House, but only before a Committee. He should move that it be printed, and he hoped that the new Parliament would cause inquiry to be made into the grievances complained of by the Assembly of Prince Edward's Isla d. One of the principal grievances of which they complained related to the tenure of lauds. They contended that the persons to whom the lands had been originally granted had not fulfilled the conditions of the grant, and that consequently the lands ought to be es cheated, and the cultivators enabled to cultivate them in sueha manner as s h ou ld b e most beneficial. He had pre sented a petition on a similar subject two years ago. The la Governmenthad investigated instructions t o the island ihesubject, and hadsent out ' a in consequence ";those instruc tions, althou g h they had been accepted by the Council, had been rejected by the Assembly so that there was at present a difference on ethgiesliztuubject between the two branches of the Colonial .we e rf : oeu T rledz he ee pe o ti ft to e n H un ou d se er . these circumstances prayed the,irnst Ho hoped her l‘T.aj the tsJce subject into their serious conerieration.

CHRONICLE.—The " Committee for conducting the election of the four Conservative candidates " for the City of London has put forth an Address, accompanied by and adopt ing a well-known fraudulent statement on the comparative " reduction of taxation " by the Reform Ministries, and by the Tory Ministry which preceded them. On this statement they rely for showing "who they are that add to the taxation and burdens of the country, and which party it is that. really prac tises economy and retrenchment." That is to say; they rely on it for a deception. Can any Government be fairly praised for comparative economy, as this document praises the Tories, which, having the power to effect every possible reduction, and professing to have actually effected every im-sible reduction, i 'ayes its successors the opportunity of retrenching to the amount of three millions more annually? Now this is what the Tory Government did, by the figures in the Conservative do cument. After ten years of settled peace, the transition from war having had time previously to subside, holding power con. tinuously, and supported in every attempt at economy by their political opponents, they cowess to not having carried re trencament so far as they might have done by three mil lions of pounds sterling per annum. In economising, every thing depends upon the first trial. The Whigs had not the expenditure of 1821 to reduce from. They only came in after ten years of retrenchment professedly carried to the uttermost. Tory economy had knocked up. Had it been as vigorous as Whig economy, nothing would have been left for reduction. Yet Messrs. Lyall and Company confess to three millions left. The balance, which ie that of their own figures, demolishes their own argument. ,The character of the reductions has something to do with the question. The Tories, resting on the corn mono poly for support, while they enabled that monopoly to tax the people's bread for the increase of rents, also consulted the in crease of lents by untaxing agricultural horses, malt, hides, &c., thus working the fiscal machinery of Government both ways for the benefit of a class. Their opponents have taken a different course, untaxing, for instance, the means of informa tion, in newspapers and correspondence, for the whole commu nity, and at length laying the axe to the root of fiscal misgo vernment by striking at the imposts which keep down industry. Besides, what an omission from the debtor side of the Tory ao count is this monster tax of all, the bread-tax itself ! Whose wok is that? Or is it the less onerous because the revenue gets nothing by it? As to the party which nut on that, it matters very little what else such a party may have taken off. TIMES.—The wretched insincerity of the Whigs as a poll tical coterie has long been proverbial, even among those who, from various motives, still continue to support them. t When their conduct is talked over tete-a-tete in the Liberal clubs, the prevalent feeling respecting them, how much soever a re gard to party interests may refrain from giving it publicity, is one of reproachful and deep-rooted distrait. Same of the more plain-spoken Radicals, such as Sir W. Moleswoith, Mr. Leader, and Mr. Wakley, have, on various occasions, had the manliness to tell the Whigs in Parliament what their no minal followers really think of them—nay, even Joseph Hume himself has sometimes culled the selected phrases of . invective, to hold them up to the scorn and detestation of the country. " What signify their fine promises and professions," (say the club oracles of liberalism,) we cannot trust to one of them. Like all other hypocrites, their disclaimers and pledges are invariably a time-serving cloak for baits deception and perfidy." Whether they promise to organize a free and easy style of education, or assure the Dissenters that Church-rates shall be abolished, or positively declare that there shall be no settlement of the Irish Tithe question without an appropriation clause; or vociferously depre cate the insanity of altering the Corn-laws—these vows of theirs have either vanished into nothing, or ended in absolute evil. Perhaps, however, there are few things that more palpa bly illustrate the political profligacy of the Whigs than their pharisaical diatribes against bribery and corruption. " Purity of election" has been their cant cry for a good many years past. In professing an anxiety to secure that object, which of course is infinitely desirable in itself, they have uni formly cast the most foul and slanderous aspersions upon the ' great constitutional party who, on other roans, are opposed to their Min sterial policy. Toryism and bribery, they have re peatedly declared, are synonymous terms ; and although the Conservatives have either devised or supported every feasible measure that could tend to suppress a practice which they generally hold in abhorrence, still the Whigs have perseveringly calumniated them as the systematic abet tore of corruption and perjury ; nor have the Government Newspapers been slow to insinuate that they have gained their preponderance in Parliament rather by the lures of filthy lucre than by the spontaneous and unbought suffrages of the coun try. Now, language like this in the mouth of the Whigs the Whigs who bought Mr. Kennedy out of Tiverton—the Whigs who purchased elonel Fox out of Stroud—the Whigs who bartered Sir Leith Hay out of Elgin—is surely not very decent. The humiliatin g fact, too, that they have recently beers compelled to cyder their own Attorney-General to prosecute the nefarious bribery whereby, in a sore strait, they secured St. Alban's for one of their Bedchamber de pendents, will not soon be forgotten. HERA LD.—lt is especially in the practices of the phari - saical Reformers—who are so rigid, so punctilious, so delicately susceptible to the paramount claims of the elective franchise to be exercised its its unspotted putity and freedom—that the political hypocrisy of our days is most monstrous. Show us the man, representative or elector—show us the constituency, county. or borough—who are most declamatory on the hustings or in Parliament—or who expatiate ever most largely and indignantly in placards, letters, and hat dbills, on " triumph of the representative principle;" "duty of electors ;" " integrity of the elective franchise," ; and we shall venture, in three cases out of five, to detect the most wholesale jobbers in " seats," in " candidates." in " votes," in the "establishment of influences" (as local bribery is delicately called), in all the dark and crooked ma nagement by which men's consciences are bought, sold, and " worked to profit." To this set of - intriguers belong your political agitators, of every class, under whatever denomina tion. To obtain some objects which the law will not enable them to accomplish, and to the accomplishment of which they cannot bend the law—they agitate by means that are in them selves unlawful. On these principles (we speak now only of English ele tions and proceedings connected with them), the Whig-R dical Registration Clubs, such as that preposterous or, cle which has established its mummeries and its Juggles initial-) le bone, and the lulicrous but active lodges of the Anti-Corn-law Association,— avail themselves of means which neither the law of the land nor the theory of the Constitution, nor the antici pations of common sense ever recognised,—or can recognise as compatible with the very notion of " election." Where ex ternal forces like these are brought into action, with all the intimidation that accompanies, and ail the bad faith that re sults from them, what becomes of that free will-that un biassed judgment,—that unrestricted declaration of conscien tious opinion which are of the very essence of " election," in the proper acceptation of that word ? Such forces,—like pledges exacted from candidates who are trembling in a balance of return or rejection, that is controlled by the finger of the lead • ing constituent or body who demand those pledges,—such forces really eliminate no " election." Returns thus proeured, and pledges thus extorted, are results due to intimidation, and to " duresse," not to choice. There is, however, another section of this class of pseudo-purists, who are not guilty of bribery, who abstain from all intimidation, who (for aught we know to the contrary) are not even members of Registration Clubs, nor Anti-Corn-law Associations ; and yen who ley their very acts and deeds, and even still morn by the influence of their example—do quite as much violence to the real principle of election. There are two notable facts to be remembered of this section, to which we respectfully invite the serious atten tion of the Citizens of London. They are, That the offenders we speak of are among the most strenuous advocates, and the most eager chosen champions of " purity of election :" That the most deeply-committed of such offenders, and, in his own person. the most flagrant violator of that principle, is—Lord John Russell. POS . We never read anything more grossly unjust and unreasonable than the complaints of the beaten Ministerial party, that the Conservatives will tint encourage any dis cussion in the House of Commons upon the Corn-law ques tion. Do not these_ complainers remember that they and their leaders have appealed to the country ? Why, then, do they not go to the country? Lord John Russell bas himself stated that, circumstanced as he and his party art, n diteussion in the House of Commons would be wrongs Hellas declared that he had advised his colleagues in the Cabinet to that effect. What, then, can be more absurdly unjust than the complaint of his party that -the Conservatives give no encouragement to such a dis cussion, but rather avoid it? To be sure they do, The) want to go to the country. The Ministers have said that the country is with them, though the House of Commons is not. The Conservatives deny the truth of the assertion, and de mand that it be pat to the proof with as little delay as possible. But from this proof the Ministerial party recoil. They are very reluctant to make that appeal which they say will show that the country is with them.• They shirk it open all sorts of stnall excuses. They invite the battle, and then seem much disposed to run away from it, or at all events to keep it off as long as possible. They are like condemned criminals crying out in the dock, " A long day, my Lord." The Con servatives have no fear of the discussion ; but they wish to have it in the place to which Ministers themselves have appealed, namely, the hustings in the first instance, and sttbseinuently in the new Parliament. There we are ready and willing to figin the battle, but our challengers seem afraid to come to the corn bat, even in the places and upon the terms which they them selves have fixed. They quake with fear, for they have a dis tinct presentiment that the hour of their defeat is at hand. ADVERTISER.—Like Yorick's skull, "quite chop-fallen, without a word to mark its own grinning," appeared the Times yesterday morning, in reference to the glorious demonstration at the London Tavern. The effects of this demonstration were at once felt throughout the whole metropolis, inspiring the advocates of free trade with confident hope, and overwhelming the monopolists with bitter de err. Participating in the shock sustained by their party the Times published the proceedings ithout commentary, and the Herald and Post contented them selves with indulging in most doleful, yet ludicrous, complaint of the impropriety and indelicacy of Lord John Russell al lowing himself to he put in nomination as a candi date for the representation of the City. With the impotent indignation c drivelling scurrility, the Herold exclaims, "We must takt leave to express, in /benne, one- strongest protest against the step which Lord John Russell has adopted ir offering himself to represent the City of London." And, in support of this pompous protest, our querulous Cotemporary continues to argue, " His Lordship is still a Minister of the Crown, occupying, probably, among all its Ministers, the second rank in the personal confidence of the Sovereign, anti in virtue of his leading their party in the House of C om .. mons, filling, • perhaps, the first station in that Ad. ministration in point of political importance, and of public consideration. In this three-fold capacity of e. principal Minister of the Crown—of a confidential sernant and adviser of the Crown—and of the organ of comMunication, as it were, between the Crown and people in virtue of his position in the House of Commons—can Lord John Russell hope to discharge the duties of a Representative of the City of London? Can he at once discharge'bis Ministerial duties to the Crown, and his representative duties to his constituency ? Can he, even with all the advantages of the absolute wisdom attaching te the Council of three' 'with which he hopes to be as sociated, by the coincident return of Mr. Crawford, Sir M. Wood, and Mr. Pattison with him, can he equally acquit himself of his duties as a Secretary fur the Colonies and a Member of the great emporium of their produce — as a Mi nister sworn t o uphold, maintain, and vindicate the privileges of the Monarch, and on the delegate of a constituency at all times to the lest degree jealous of and opposed to every distinct assertion of the m ?

If, as implied in the above extract, Fa Minister sworn to uphold, maintain, and vindicate the privile ges o f t h e M onarc h, canno t cons istently acquit himself of the duties incumbent on a delegate of the Loudon constituency, then ought the metropolis to seek out sore four r. bed sue: a , it c. have 110 culty its-finding amongst th e B ra d s h aws and other malignere of hit; tlajeity, with whore, as a faithful type of the Tory Char- Notwithstanding that the''liallot" of Wednesday puts it out of the limit of probability that the Tory candidates can have the least chance at the approaching election, or that disunion can again be raised in the ranks of the Reformers, . a new de vice has been resorted to to effect the purpose of the Conserve. tives, by detaching a few Chartists from the Liberal body to vote for a candidate professing their peculiar tenets. The number of those who can be influenced by the artifice must he insignificantly small, and cannot pos sibly affect the election. It acknowledged this morning on all hands, that the supporters of Mr. Young included all the extreme Radicals,. from whom a division could be appre hended, and that they polled yesterday almost to a man. Now it is not to be supposed that many of them will violate the pledge in which they most warmly engaged last night with Air. Young, at the close of the poll, to give every support to Sir Charles Napier and Sir Benjamin Hall. That pledge was this morning renewed, in the most earnest and hand some manner by Mr. Young, who called at the Committee -room of tke Marylebone United Reformers, at the Cafe Co losseum, New-road, and offered his most zealous and active service to promote the return of the two candidates. The vast importance and conclusive character of the Ballot last night may be inferred from these considerations. The ex tent of the borough is four miles from Westbourne, Bayswater, to Maiden-lane, Islington, and four miles and-a-half from Ox ford-street to Highgate. Now it is to be observed that the poll ing was at one particular spot, not very central in this extensive and populous area, the object not bang considered by a large pro portion of the Liberal electors to require the same degree of exertion and sacrifice, as they would be prepared to make out the actual election, for many of them thought too little of the force which Mr. Young's perseverance could draw from the good cause. It is not, therefore, too much to calculate, that when they will have polling-booths in each of the nine districts into which the borough is divided, and when the object of the poll will be the actual election, at the very least double the number of Liberals will vote. This would give full six thousand votes to the Liberals, and 4,500 is an ample num ber to carry the election. We say six thousand, for the number who came to poll was nearly three thousand—the dif ference above '2,876 who did actually poll being caused by impediments of various kinds, impatience of delay, the loss of balloting cards, and other unavoidable accidents on such an occasion of haste and bustle. _ _ _ _ . It is, however, of vital importance that the Reformers should not make the matter too sure. The enemy is rich, prodigal, united, atd numerous ; and it will even in this happy state of our prospects, and with so imposing an array of our forces as the manifestation of last night presented, constant activity and energy on the part of the influential Reformers is indispensable to prose: ye the victory, which seems already to be half won. Every man who can influence his neighbours should impress on them constantly, from this to the grand day of battle, the necessity there is for every man to go up early to the poll, and not to loiter, on the supposition that there were enough without them. The unbounded gratification which prevails throughout the borough at the sph•ndid exhibition of ycstt•rday, aid its imme diate result, may beget a dangerous confidence, through which all might be lost. The Tory ladies are canvassing this morning in all direc tions with great skill and profuse liberality in purchases, at th , .: shops of the smaller tradesmen. e• PUBLIC DEBT, &c.

GLOBE.—What the Tories want, anti what we have got, in the present contest, is a good cause—a rallying cry which can procure them unpurehased supporters. Thew will find this want expensive ; and find it already enal;arrassing. When any Tory, anywhere, can excite such an honest enthusiasm as greeted Lord John Rus sell, both inside and outside the London Tavern—when any Tory, anywhere, can command such an address, so signed, as that which. we publish in our to-day's columns, pledging its authors, " individually and collectively, to shrink from no sacrifices, and to spare no exertions by which we can promote the triumphant return of Lord John Russell," then they may hope mere from the un stinted and unscrupulous exercise of those other means in which we admit their undoubted superiority. But with this utter want of a watchword-this utter bankruptcy, not of purse, but of principles—we have good hope they will have to exclaim, after all, " Truly our tine gold hath perished ! It might as well have been 'fructifying' in our pockets as spent on bribes and bullies. Lord John and his colleagues have found out a bribe for the unbribeable —they have bought, with a word, better efforts than money can buy for us. And that word is one which we dare not openly to contradict." Was ever " a great na tional party" so hard put to it for a cause or pretext ? The Address to the City electors states' as - follows the dilemma of the Tories :—" If the opponents of the existing Government are thrust into power, either the present measures will, under some specious disguise, be carried by those who are now the loudest 'in de nouncing.them, hi which case not only the efficacy of the measures themselves will be impaired, but all confi dence is pub\ men will be utterly subverted ; or, in place of the wise and beneficial policy now recommend ed to you, we must look for a heavy increase of direct taxation, accompanied by the 'retention of those corn. mercial fetters by which your powei-of sustaining even your present burthens is seriously crippled-" The man document asks forcibly, " Why is it, with the multiplied advantages which this country possesses—skill, capital, machinery, coal, means of communication by land and by sea, intelligence, industry, and a moral tone of feeling superior to most other countries—we arc still thus dis tressed ? It is because, in the vain hope of serving a few favoured interests, we interfere with trade, and make that, which can only exist in a healthy state when left free to pursue its own objects, the subject of restrictions equally absurd and unjust." ST,PTDARIi.—It has been subject of • complaint against the Conservatives that there were but twenty • four members of the House of Commons in attendance to discuss Mr. Scholefield's motion ; and the fact is used as an argument to show the unwillingness of the Conserva • tive party to meet an investigation of the Corn-law question. Such a charge against one-half the House of Com mons, where,if there be guilt, all must be equally guilty, is at the least absurd. If it was criminal fur 317 Conservatives to be absent,. was it not equally criminal for 317 Whig- Radicals to neglect their. duty ? or, rather, was not the negleet much more criminal on the part of Ministers specially charged to watch over public interests, and for a party professing to agree in Mr. Scholefield's views. to desert that gentlman, than for Conser vatives, who have no - official obligation to be present at all debates, and who have no political relations with the Member for Birmingham ? Be sides, Conservatives had been told by the Ministerial leader that the Corn-law • question, or any other 'ques tion affording a pretext for " hustings speeches," is not to be raised during the remnant of the Session ; and on the faith of such an en gagement they might very well absent themselves, though as much cannot be said for the members of the party who sent down the President of. the Board of Trade with a prepared speech in violation of the engagement. When, therefore, it is said, as the Morning Chronicle says with reference to the thin House of Tues day night—" What a party to have the assurance to lay claim to the GOvernmentof this country, without having the- manliness to meet' their 'political opponents on the very question at issue between them ! Matters are come to a strange pass, indeed, if conduct like this finds favour in the eyes of the people of En' aind"—we can retort, with a very slight change in the words, " What a. part y to have the assurance to retain the Government of this , country, in defiance of multiplied defeats and of a distinct vote of condemnation, without having the manliness to meet their opponents, though officially bound to be present, upon the very ques tion at issue between them—nay, having the meanness to skulk from the fair discussion of that quesCon upon a false engagement. Matters are come to a strange pass indeed, if conduct like this finds favour in the eyes of the people of England." CO LIRIER.—The Chronicle, which has notoriously long been complained of by its own party as into lerabl y dull when not ridiculously ranting, has, we are glad to see, taken to diversify the scene with a little fun and foolery. In the very first paragraph of the first leader this morning this first appearance of a new line is made, and we must say a very promising commencement it is, al though, under any circumstances, first appearances are en titled to very charitable forbearance. Here is the extract alluded to. "An eloquent address to the electors of the City of London, to which the very first names in point of wealth and Importance are attached, will be foand under the head Elections.' This document cannot fail to pro duce a powerful impression on the electoral body of the first City of the empire. And we need hardly observe, the decision of London Must powerfully influence the re sult of other elections throughout the United Kingdom," Never in the least suspecting our heavy contemporary of being a wag, and that this was his initiatory probate in the school of Joe 'Miller, we turned to the address of mighty import with something like the same solemn cu riosity as of yore the ancients waited for the fiat of fate from the lips of the Delphic chronicle of their day. Great was, not our chagrin, but our delight, on discovering the fantastic cheat with which we and the public were taken by surprise, and our readers will participate with us in the feeling when we present the key of the riddle or rather the glossary of the mysterious teat of the oracle. Know, then, that the document in question, elevated with burlesque gravity into the stilted dignity of an Ad dress to the " Electors of the City of London," purports to be signed by some fifty-eight perscns firms, the number of the latter being five, out of some fifty-eight thousand persons and ants, who may be found in this great iilbtfdpd l6 tie fifteen itiltidred thousand souls, equally qualified by station, by wealth, by electoral right, by education, by intellect, or by private and public worth, to address the electors of the 'City, and dictate the choice of a candidate. Some people may see fit to challenge this memorable enterprise as an act and a proof of the direst despefatitti Of the pan,* driven as a last shift to embark in it, and assuredly the reasons for such an assumption are by far too plausible to admit of an attempt at refutation. We incline, nevertheless, to view the matter in that more cheerily and amusing shed on it by the, sportive lys of our Contempo rary's wit, when so glibly assuring ifs that " the very first names in point of wealth and importance " are attached to the instrument, in incontestable proof of which we may add, that the list winds up with the for midable name of little " D. W. Wire ". himself, mem ber of tilt tidnini3ii edilileil, t Vet-tinder f4herill; Attorney at law, and ex-counsellor of the late Hebrew Legation to the Courts of Gr,init Cairo, Tyre'Sidon, and Damascus, where so nobly he fleshed his forensic and diplomatic blade in the pure idiom of Cockaigne to the otter route of testified Turks and barbarously ignorant Tartars. It.might seem an unkindly cut of the Chronicle to thrust little David, " the tryst And foremost man of all" the City, into the tail and as the very last joint of this portentous agglomeration of great names, but in this consists the exquisite touch of the enchant ing Chronicle's art, by which, with it noble sim plicity mote Pf*Cti*# than tett thousand rhetorical dourishes, the beautiful accuracy of that eccentri c pos tulate is thrown into bolder relief, according to which we are taught that " from the sublime to the ridiculous there is but Orie step," this achievement alone stiffiees to establish the surprising progress made in so brid .;pace by our right merry Contemporary, who is clearly fualifying, and bids fair to distance all competition in he race, for the long obsolete but shortly to be re vived post of " Master of the Revels," when will hap • pily recommence the jocund reign of quips and cranks, and gibes and jeers, and masques and mummery, with— " Laughter holding both his sides" — and happily putting to flight the—it we may be allowed to borrow from the magnifcent imagery of the " eloquent address" of the addressers, which is greatly in the heroics of Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd—" demon form" of free trade Mummery and roguery. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S) the demand no doubt, but if we bettered the eondition of the purchasers by admit ing their staple articles of proddde into our H OUSE OF L u I C DS, ja 17. parts (their flour and bread stuffs," as the Anwricans tend :7,: them) at a moderate fixed duty, the glut would dsappear, and Their Lorclshipi sat in a Committee of Privileges this the demand would far exceed the supply. By the great in- morning. The Peen; present were the Lord Chancellor, crease of our export trade, both with the old world and the the Earl of Shaftesbury; Lord Brougham, the Earl of new, under a revised and liberal tariff, the Bank of Eng7atel Rosslvn ' the Duke of Rutland, Lord Sidney, Lord Bel would, in fact, be relieved from the recurrence of s u ch a drain - of bullion as that which nearly made her stop payment in nester. 1839, and great additional scope for the employment of capital in banking business would be oecasiened to supply the wants of our extended production. This accounts clearly and satisfactorily for the support welch the measures of the Queen's Government have received from tai, London capitalists and bankers. That support will not be confined to the bankers within the City. It will be general, we are confident, among all the country bankers, for gentle men of their practical knowlidge and intelligence cannot fail to see that their interests and prosperity are identical in the present crisis with those of the people. The joint-stock banks here the same real grounds for adopting the same line of con duct, although these institutions stand, no doubt, rather in a peculiar position. The interests of the proprietors as bankers are plainly in favour of a free trade ; but in such extended constituencies the class interests of many of the shareholders, as part of the protected clan es, may be at variance with the success of those measures, which would tend greatly to ex tend the business and profit of the banks in which they are concerned. That is an anomaly unavoidable in suclees ablish ments, and it is for the shareholders to decide which interest shall have the preponderance. It is stated in the leading monopolie Journal to-day that the deputies of the Joint Stock Banks luxe resolved not to take any part in the approaching elections. This, perhaps, is the ssfest course they could have resolved upon ; for it they should interfere either way, some of their prqeietors would be offen ded, If, however, they saw the que,ten in its true and proper light—if they would consider it simply on its mei its, and not on political or private grounds,-we are iatisfied that, as bankers, they could not hesitate to declare for ti s abolition of monopo lies, as tending most strongly to increase trade and monetary transactions. The deputation threw ott a hint, th-ough their organ (•ghat of monopoly), that although the Joint Stock Bank Committee will " take no part in . be elections, there is but little doubt that 41. bias will be gvon to the Directors and shareholders—in their individua capacity—and that they will give their votes to such candida• ee as they may conceive favourable to their own vievs on banking." We do not know the component parts of this Jaint Stock Bank Com mittee, but if the statement we have quoted be official we con sider them a very inconsistent body. They first say they will take no part in the elections. and then, in the same breath, very sagely announce that they will do the very reverse ; for they conclude by stating, that they will end eavour to " bias" the Directors and shareholders, in their inlividual capacity, and " vote" for the candidates they conceive favourable to their own views of banking. What those views may be we are not informed, and we shall not attempt to gtess ; but the notion of foisting in their " views of banking" as a bone of contention in the coining contest is 'ither too much, particularly when they do not take the trouble to tell us what they are. The deputation of joint-stock banks will act most wisely and ju diciously, either by adhering fairly and honestly to their declaration of - neutrality, and not bloving hot and cold in the same breath, or they will at wee endeavour to " bi 13 " their Directors and Shareholders tc give their " votes" in favour of those candidates who denounce monopolies. and support the Ministerial measures of fiscal aid financial reform. The Deputation should do their best for the success of those measure s, for their success is necessary to the development of our national industry, and to cause a healthy action in the !do ney Market. A stringent and limited course of banking must continue until restriction gives place to fret trade, and they should therefore be content to allow their teculiar views of banking to remain in the back ground until amore fitting. and Jones Loyd, season. Let them follow the exanple of Mr. Loyd, and other City bankers, by putting tleir shoulders to the wheel, and lending their best assistance to the common cause. We should then have the satisfaction• of seeing their motives and actions vilified and denounced in columns where the greatest abuse is looked upon as the greatest praise by honest men. The Deputation of Joint-stock Banks have no interests in common with the monopolists, ant the sooner they leave their company they will be the more respected, and more likely to meet with support for their " own views of banking," if they really be deserving of it, when the proper time for dis cussing them arrives." TIMES.—The interest which is felt concerning the ap proaching election is so great, that not only foes it cause an Interruption of business, but it is the all-engrossing subject of conversation in the City. At the coffee-houses and other re sorts of gossips on 'Change, and even in the streets in the vicinity, neth ng is heard but conjectures as to the success of the contending parties and the obstinacy of the struggle. One rumour is, that the Whig party feel them•elves so weak that they have tried to come to a compromise with the Conserva tives, the result of which would be the election of two candi dates on each side; but that the Conservatives, strong in their confidence as to the issue of the struggle, have refused all overtures of thekind. Although it is believed that the victory of the Con.ervatives will be .far more decisive than the ob taining a mere equality with their adversaries, still, such a result even as this would be a serious loss to the Ministers, by depriving them at once of the four votes for London. It is scarcely possible to conceive the . existence of a mote stagnent state of business than at present pervades the whole of the Stock Market ; and if anything were wanting to abstrac attention, nothing could more effectually do it than the excite ment everywhere apparent connected with the elections. As this is likely to bear away all parties, whether speculatively inclined or not, the present struggle being one of more than ordinary importance, the most experienced ' dealers confidently express the belief that, as the principal of the money required for the several contests has already . been withdrawn from the market, there will be no material increase in business or fluctuations in value till they are concluded. At least, if fluctuation should occur, they only look to sue cause as likely to produce it, which would be unfavourable news either front China or the East Index presidencies. Money is easy at 4 to 5 per cent., as vie stated yesterday, and while there is little business in the market it is likely to remain so, although it is not impossible that large operations might occasion a temporary scarcity.

Counsel were heard and witnesses examined on behalf of Lord Trimlestown, who claimed the right of voting at the election of Representative Peers for Scothull Their Lordships resolved that the Noble Claimant had made out his claim.—Claim allowed. THE EARL OF STAIR'S CLAIM. In this case the Earl of Stair claimed the right of vot ing at the election of Representative Peers for Scotland. Counsel were heard, several witnesses were examined, and several documents read, to prove the descent of the Noble Earl, after which the Committee resolved that the claim ant had made out his right to vote.—Claim allowed. EARL OF ATHLONE'S CLAIM. The consideration of the claim of the Earl of Athlone to vote at the election of Representative Peers, was ad journed to Monday next, in consequence of some defect in the evidence.

FROM TAE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.. CiiONIGLEs—The ordo.te6c.ling.S at the glerieuS demonstrae lien yestersay in th 6 city et London Teem, to receive Lord John Russell, affords gratifying evidence that the leading capi tabs's, bankers, and merchants of the C.ty coincide with us in opinion, that the adoption of the measures of fiscal and financial reform proposed by the Queen's Government is essen'ial to the safety of the Bank of England, es the malnsspring of public credit requisite to restore life and energy to the trade and pro ductive resources of the country, and to guard the Money Market against fresh convulsions and panics in time to come. it is peculiarly gratifying td See the Rothgcltilds, the Loyds, the Gurneys, the [loves, the Smiths, and many other houses of Treat wea!th and influence, coming forward on such an occa .;ion to give the weight of their presence and example Against the continuance of restrictive duties, and in favaer of a Liberal commercial policy. Tile London bankers generally support free trade, and we arc confident that a large g , tajority of the citizens, including the proprietor s of the Bank of Engl a nd, en t er t a i n s i m il ar principles. They have long seen supported by Mr. Horsley Palmer, Mr. Mattison, Mr. Norman, M r . G ren f e ll , an d other Directors of the Baak of England; and we a-e persuaded that there are many converts o the sam e v i ews amon the proprietors of Bank of En g land stock, which will b e manifested at the first fitting opp ortunit y . It cannot b e o th erw i se, f or t h e b es t o f all reasons—that their interests, as Bank p ro p r i e t ors , are one and the mule with the great body o f th e peop l e. I t i s th e interest of the latter to obtain che a p food, and it is the interest of the forme r t h at th ey should alw a y s h ave i t to save t h e co ff e rs of the Bauk from the heavy drain which nearly cleaned them out in 1839. Without ncluding the. loan of two millions and a half borrowed is that year from the Bank of France, the bullion taken off from the Bank has never been estimated at less than seven and a half millions of money, the average price of wheat during that year bei ng 70 s . per qua rter. In 1840 it is esti mates that in the f ace o f an abundant harvest the p ri c e of foreign corn impo r t e d was nu t un der 3,0 00,0001 . , the average price being k e p t at a range o f f ro m 645. to'6Bs., in order to suit the views o f specu l ators. S u pposing, then , that the sub stitution of a fixed duty would keep whe at at a stead y p rice of about 50s. per quarter, the drain u p on the Bank in the event of a heavy importation would be d iminished b y the ex tent of the difference of price per q uarter nearly equal to 3,000,0001. in 1839, and to 1,00 0 , 000 / . in 1840, even sup posing that the price would still be remitted in gold, instead of being taken in the manufactures of this coun try. But the nak e d s t a te of trade wi th the Continent, which takes nothing f rom us but g old, is b y no means likely to continue under a free trade principle of international. intercourse ;• and besides the interchange cf products with the Continent, we should have a great addi tional demand for our goods in the American markets. list it is car..

Cooper, and was dated April 27, 1841. lion. Gentleman then presented twelve petitions, signori by 1,940 persons from various parts of the county of Mid - dlesex, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and an al teration in the tariff. Mr. WODEHOUST then brought forward his motion, the Hon. Member forliilkenny having previously entered the House. Mr. LABOUCHERE said the information sought for by the Hon. Member was already . before the House, having been procured from the Foreign Consuls, for the use of the Poor-law Commissioners. He was not aware that any new information could be obtained. Mr. HUME s aid he had given notice several days previously of his intention to move an amendment, which would have raised a general discussion on this subject, but in tlril present state of the House it appear ed to him that no vantage would be derived from such a course. It was his intention to have brought the subject before th e xfousc this Session, and he would suggest to the President of the Board of Trade that he should do as was done by the Government of the United States, where the tariffs were collected, and a copy of them distributed among the Members of Con gress. He thought that it was the business of her Majesty's Government to collect the tariffs of every country with which we had commercial intercourse. We ought to know at what rate our manufactures were received in every country with which we dealt. This ought to be the business of some department or of some individual officer, and he knew no one better qualified for it than the Board of Trade. When he (Mr. Hume) was in Holland, he found. they were publishing a quadruple tariff of the principal nations with which they dealt, and he did not see why England should be backward on the subject. Ilis object was that the House should be put in possession of the tariff of every State with which we traded, and that authentic copies of them should be in the possession of every Member of that House who felt interested in such subjeets.—(Hear.) Mr. WODEHOUSE felt almost disposed to withdraw his motion, as the Hon. Member for Kilkenny had made a statement far beyond it. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Hon. Mem ber opposite would have any objection to amend his mo tion so as to give the tariffs of all States ? Mr. LABOUCHERE could assure the Hon. Gentle man, the Member for Kilkenny, that some of the offi cers connected with the Board of Trade had been employed in collecting information on the present sub ject, and as some of their labours were concluded the result should be laid before the House. If the Hon. Member thought that any information could be obtained by acceding to the present motion he should have no objection to it. After a few words from Sir JOHN GUEST and Mr. BAINES, Mr. VILLIERS said he had never heard of such a motion in his Parliamentary experience. The House had as much right to call upon our Ambassadors to in quire into the private affairs of foreigners as to call upon ng them to make the inquiries sub in the motion. After a few words from Sir°C. BURRELL, Mr. WILLIAMS said it would be desirable to receive information with respect to the management of the fac .ories in the United States. He believed, on inquiry, it " be found that the working man i n the fae :ories of the United States did not receive more wages than the persons employed in the factories of this coun try ; but they were in a better condition, because they could buy provisions nearly by one half cheaper than could be had in this country. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. WODEHOUSE then brought forward the follow ing motion of which he had given notice :--" To reprint Despatch from H. H. Addington, Esq. to Mr. Canning, dated Washington, the 39th day of May, 1524, pub lished in pursuance of au Address the 12th day of July, 1828 (see Papers relative to American Tariffs, and re ferred to by J. B. Smith, Esq., President of the Chamber of Commerce, Manchester in his evidence before the Im port Duties Committee, the 27th day of July, 1840, p. 161, 2,043) ; together with an Extract from the Report of W. E. Hickson, Esq., Commissioner of Inquiry into the state of the Haudloom Weavers, presented 11th August, 1840, p. 30, s. 59 ; showing whether any and what expressions are to be found in the concluding paragraph of the Despatch of Mr. Addington, different from those which are cited in the Report of Mr. Hickson relative to Ame rican Tariffs, regarding other States of Europe as well as that of Great Britain." The Hon. Member, after having complained of the inaccuracy with which the despatch was quoted in the report of Mr. Hickson, con cluded by expressing his determination not to persevere in the motion. Mr. LABOUCHERE admitted that . the words had not been accurately quoted, but the difference was not very important, and the error was such as any one quot ing from memory might easily have fallen into. Mr. HUME said the Hon. Gentleman in his motion had alluded to the statements of the Chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Now he (Mr. Hume). had investigated the subject, and he could take upon himself to state that the statements of Mr. Smith were perfectly correct. The quotations of Mr. Hick son were perfectly correct in substance, and to say that the statements of Mr. Addington referred to the Berlin decrees, as had been stated, was perfectly ridiculous, for the despatch of Mr. Ad dington had been written 14 or 15 years after the Berlin and Milan decrees had ceased to be in operation. (The Hon. Gentleman was here interrupted by loud cries of " Order, order.") The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member was clearly out of order, as there was no question before the House, the Hon. Member not having proposed his motion. Mr. HUME said the whole proceeding was irregular. It was quite as irregular for the Hon. Member to have made a speech without concluding with a motion, as it was for him (Mr, Hume) to reply to that speech. The SPEAKER said that if he had known that the Hon. Gentleman would not have concluded with a motion, he certainly should not have allowed him to make a speech. The Lords' amendment to the Tinsley and Doncaster Estate Bill, the Salisbury Small Debts Bill, and the Kentish Town Paving Bill were then agreed to, and the Touse Adjourned at a Quarter before Six o'Clock. virou!

Christopher Smith, a middle-aged man, was indicted for feloniously forging d uttering a bill of exchange, for the sum of 851., with intent to defraud Wm. Moss.- Mr. Phillips prosecuted, and Messrs. Clarkson and Chambers defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, a, solicitor, residing in the Old Jewry, stated that he had been acquainted with the prisoner for some years, - and had been in the habit of discounting bills for him. The prisoner, who described himself as a tailor and draper, in February last gave him the bill produced purporting to be drawn by a person of the name of Boulton, whom lie represented to be a gentleman of property, residing at Staines ; he at the same time gave the card produced, on which was printed, " Mr. Benj. P. Boulton, Staines." The prisoner was desired to make inquiries respecting Mr. Boulton, and went out of his office for that purpose, but returned in a short time, and stated that he had met Mr. Boulton at Morley's Hotel, Charing-cross, and that it was all right. During his transactions with the prisoner the name of a Mr. Fletcher was mentioned, and that person was said to have had an extensive connection amongst the west end tailors. The prisoner refused to give him Mr. Fletcher's address, alleging that if he did so, he and wit ness would get dealing together, and then he (prisoner) should lose his commission. The bill in question was dishonoured When it became &ie.! Subsequently the pri soner told him that Mr. Fletcher resided at 22, Old Burlington-street. The witness was subjected to a most rigid and search ing examination by Mr. Clark Son. There were two other indictments • against the prisoner. When before the Magistrate he did not make any mention of Fletcher's name.. In the year 1838 . he had some land at Norwood, which he wished to dispose of, and suggested to the prisoner, that if he could raise enough money to purchase it, it might answer his pur pose. Did not recollect about that time sending for the prisoner, and expressing a wish to have a confidential communication with him. Had been an attorney about fourteen or . fifteen years.. During two years has had bill transactions with the prisoner to the amount of 20,0001. The first bill lie received from the prisoner in Fe bruary, 1838. Was not then aware that his circum stances were bad. The bills woe discounted some times by checks; and sometimes by cash. The bill in question was discounted with various others, amounting to 2801. Could not tell how they were discounted. Sometimes he discounted them by giving other bills in exchange. On referring to this book, he found that four other overdue bills were given. • Wit ness's • commission on that transaction amounted to the sum of . 45!. Allowed the prisoner a commission of 2s. per cent. for his trouble. Gave the prisoner most of the checks .produced, to take up dishonoured bills with. Would not swear that he had not given him checks 30 times to take up bills with. His property at Norwood he purchased for 1,000/., of a builder of the name of Plaskett, and paid him cash for it. Had had bill trans actions with Plaskett to the amount of about 10,0001. or 12,000/. Did not engage the prisoner for the purpose of • carrying on his bill transactions. Never sent the priso ner, in 1839, to take up any over-due bills. Witness at present had three or four over-due bills of Boulton's in his possession. He produced 47 bills, which he had re ceived from the prisoner. Never told the prisoner,when he applied for money, that he had not any, neither did he ever offer him his watch and appendages to raise money upon. But on one occasion when there was an arrear for commission due to him, and he pressed for money, he (witness) certainly offered to sell him his watch if he would take it at a certain price. The prisoner absconded on the 19th of February, and went abroad. The last check he gave the prisoner was on the 17th of Febru ary. Never recollected giving him a letter to a Mr. Cooper, of Baldwin's-court; but went himself to •that person to get some bills discounted. He banked with Messrs. Williams - and Co., of Birchin-lane. The first letter he had from the prisoner after he absconded was in the month of April ; it was not signed with any name. On the 12th o February witness's affairs were not in a desperate state ; he then believed that the bills were all good, believed the body of the bill in question was written by the prisoner. He - stopped his account at his banker's on the 17th -of • February, after he gave the prisoner the last check; had given the prisoner a few checks to take bills up with; gave him a check for 60/. on the 24th of November to take up a bill in the possession of a Mr. Brown, of Sunderland. The prisoner said that nearly all the bills were drawn by tailors uporafashionable young men, who did not care about drawing bills upon hankers, although they kept no account. Made no inquiries about the persons named in the bills he - received from the prisoner. Mr. Brown had received about 3,009/. worth of bills from him. Had not changed his bankers, but had not had any transaction • with theM since the 17th of Fe bruary. A cheek was sent in on the 18th, but the account was overdrawn ; his bankers still held two of his overdue bills in their possession. The pri . soner had borrowed checks of him to the amount of 4701., but that was previous to the account with his bankers being closed; they were all but one dishonoured ; they were given for the accomodation of Fletcher. An action had been commenced against him for some of the dishonoured checks. Had frequently given check: for the purpose of taking up bills, and received the bills in payment. Had also given the prisoner occasionally post dated checks. Had given two or three such checks l at one time. Woe never aware that any of the bills had been. refused to .he „given up in consequence of a suspicion being entertained that they were not genuine. ' A person of the name •of Stevens had commenced an action against him. for the amount of one of the disho noured checks. . The prisoner called at his office after lee had heard that the bills were forgeries, but lie did not give . him into custody, because he did not like to prosecute a man who had five children to support, and he also thought that his evidence might be of service to him in the action brought against him by Heraans. . Was aware that the prisoner owed a person of the name of Henet I the sum of 301. At his (witness's) suggestion a sheriff's officer was placed in a picture-shop opposite his office, and he - also had Forrester, an officer, in the office. He expected the prisoner to call upon him on the day alluded to. Had funds to meet some of the overdue bills, but would be compelled to dispose of some property to raise money for the purpose. The property he intended to sell was already mortgaged for 1,200/. • Re-examined.—Had received upwards of sixty bills from the ,prisoner, all of which he discovered to be for geries. Received a note from the prisoner, dated Feb. 14, in which he stated that he was going into the country to get 300/. o,nd he would call on him the following rning. He did not call, and witness saw nothing ' him till May. more ca . ` era that had passed between the parties Several nd in one of them the prisoner wished were then put in, ante some money to his wife, and the prosecutor to ad . . , n as he came to England. promised to return it as sow. rove that the bill in Mr. BoultOn was then caliej to p neither did he ever question was not in his liandwritine - , authorize any one to draw such a hilt. The card that • had been produced belonged to' him, but he could riot tell how the prisoner. became possessed of it. Several other' witnesses were then examined. fir. CLARKSON addressed the Jury, and commented upon to facts of the case, and called witnesses who gave the pri soner a good character. Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. There were two other indictinents against the prisoner,.,, but Mr. PHILLIPS declined to offer any evidence upon them. Arthur Woodroffe, a youth aged 18, pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery, and uttering a bill of exchange for 100/., with intent to defraud Messrs. Glyn and Co. Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the prisoner, said he had bean in very respectable employment, bet latterly it had been observed that he had got acquainted with some showily-dressed females, and it was supposed his connection with them had been his ruin. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared for the prosecution, said he believed this to be the case, and he would leave the prisoner in the hands of the Court. The CUIEF JUSTICE ordered the prisoner to' be transported for seven years, but his Lordship said he should recommend that he should be sent to the Peni tentiary. The business of the Court was again delayed for a considerable period yesterday in consequence of the non attendance of any Aldermen. ----- --- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.)

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT...--It 15 P. nerally supposed that the large arrear of public business need, 7 sarily created by the sudden dissolution of Parliament will s u: t ie''' . gest the necessity . for the assembling of the new Haase 0 e_ A j',e , C o mmons as speedily as possible. The last Parliament ' c c! r. dissolved on the 18th of July , 1837, an d the writs were ite - returnable on the 15th of November following, thus el e , 1 1: ing an interval of nearly four m onths for the elections, 14°r " a considering the ,mode of canvass , and the short time alio longe r for taking the'poll under the Reform Act, was a much period than could by possibility be required. It is, however' conceived, that the utmost despatch, compatible with the„ e , oo l) , venience of the several candidates an d constituencies. w ill e employed, so as to ensure the opening of the new Parli ament an early period. The choice of a Speaker will be the f irst set e 4 the new Parliament. Mr. Manners Sutton ( Vise. Canterb lul e ; held the cliair for eighteen years, and presided over seven P r. Houses of Commons; Mr. Abercromby (Lord Dunfervolin ° for four years ; and Mr. C. Shaw Lelevre for two rears. ,L e last election for Speaker was on the 28th of May, 1639- next will be the fourteenth Parliament of the United dom. It appears by a return prepared from the rolls r o , journals of both Houses that , since the y ear 150 .( when i t • g supposed the duration of Parliaments was e x tended be y oudt year), only . tour Parliaments have existed beyond seven and only nine have had a sexennial duration. Of the f r only nine Parliaments have lasted above fi v e y ears, threes bee`- e four years, and three above three years . Onl y ten eket above two years, and no less than thirty-six for a shorter l:P riod. The average duration from 1509 is the Re es r i e e time (including the Long Parliament in the reign of uh e eT ee 1., and that in the reign of Charle s 11., which lasted n ear seventeen years) does not exceed the space of three each ; so that, although nominally septennial, Parliaments - be said to have not more than a really triennial existeneewed, SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREET.--0 11 nesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Fish and Bel l Par lie-house, Charles-street, Soho-square, before Mr. fige' bo se roner for Westminster, on view of the body of a. meet "%re name is unknown.
