Members of that House repaired to their clubs and coffee-houses on Sundays, and there ate more than was conducive to their health—(Laughter)—that the poor man should be compelled to bolt his food, and immediately leave his tavern, without being allowed time to quench his thirst.

After suggestion from Mr. GREENE the clause was , • PAKINGTON moved the next clause, on the • theaub Ject of which he had received strong representations t c . °_tn the li censed victuallers.

The Hon.

R OEBUCK was not one o f t h ose w h o w i shed to emir drunk enness, although he opposed this clause. th - e m t hought the enactment would create a greater evil em ber the one again s t w hi c h i t was aimed. The Hon. himself admitted that the clause was ambigu 2blislY word e d . It went to create wholesale crime, and -1t it w ent to encourage informers.

The sailor had to home in port but the public-house, and if they drove him out of the public-house, they would drive him ti a worse house.—(Hear, hear.) It was impossible to carry such a clause into execution. The last Govern ',lent were not so absurd as to lend themselves to the k tioduction of enactments of this nature in the Liver rkil W a t c h Bill , an d h e trusted that the present Go- Zrninent would, in thi s i nstance, take a leaf out of their . 1 .74.

The CHAIRMAN reported. progress, thh.• House re sumed, and the Report was ordered to be.hrought up on Wednesday. SUDBURY DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Mr. REDINGTON moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. BAGGE objected to the second reading of the Bill, on the ground that it was not faii . to disfranchise a borough because some of the voters 'were corrupt, and he was bound to say the'• most corrupt portion of the constituency were the 101. householders, and not the freemen. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY denied the general cor ruption of the household constituency, and was surprised to hear the Hon. Gentleman say that Sudbury was Conservative. Did he mean to say that all the Conserva tives had been bribed?—(A laugh) Mr. DARBY objected to going, on with a measure of such importance at such a late hour. Sir GEORGE CLERK said it had hitherto been the practice in all similar cases to serve a copy of the Bill upon the returning officer of the borough, before pro ceeding to read the Bill a second time. That had not been done in the present instance, and he would suggest the postponenient of the second reading until a copy should have been served upon the returning officer. Mr. REDINGTON thought that defect had been cured by the motion of the Hon. Member for Mont gomeryshire. Mr. WYNN had merely given notice of his intention to bring forward a motion on the subject on going into Committee on the Bill. Mr. REDINGTON had no intention of pressing for ward the Bill without serving a copy on the returning officer; but he apprehended there was no necessity for serving it on him before the second reading. Colonel RUSHBROOKE had presented a petition from the inhabitants of Sudbury, in which they stated that they considered it a great hardship that Sudbury should be treated in this way, when there were other boroughs equally bad. Mr. BLACKSTONE did not know the locality of Sudbury, and therefore could not say whether throwing open the borough to the neighbouring hundreds might not cure the corruption. In the borough which he represented that had been the case. Before the Re form Bill, it was one of the most oorrupt boroughs in the kingdom—that measure had added eight or ten ad joining agricultural parishes to the constituency, and had by that means completely put a stop to bribery. He did not think it right to discuss a measure of such im portance at so late an hour. He also thought it advis able that the House should hear the opißion of the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government on the subject, and for these reasons he should move that the debate be adjourned. Mr. PAKING'TON, although he had originally con curred in this measure, had serious doubts whether it ought now to be proceeded with. Bribery of an exten sive nature had been discovered to exist in so many other boroughs, that he doubted the propriety of making Sudbury a solitary victim.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the wisest course would be to draw a veil over the past. Mr. STUART WORTLEY considered this notice a mere local question. The House was called on to affirm a principle. They were called on to determine the exact amount of corruption which should be punished by dis franchisement. The case was surrounded by difficulties, which required the most mature consideration. Ile should, therefore, support the motion for adjournment. Sir R. INGLIS supported the motion for adjourning the debate. Lord SANDON thought they would never create a moral feeling against bribery, by hunting down boroughs in this way. He would suggest to the House, before they decided on disfranchising a borough with 2.000 inhabit ants, to consider what they would do with a borough with 40,000. The most effectual remedy, he thought, would be to send down a Committee to Inquire, and let that Committee publicly disfranchise every individual guilty of corrupt practices. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE bad presented a peti tion from one hundred and fifty electors of Sudbury in which they stated that they entirely concurred with the Committee in the opinion they expressed of the ex istence of corruption at the last election. They also ex pressed a desire that every corrective means should be tried, before recourse was had to disfranchisement, and they suggested that extending the present constituency within the limits of the borough, and giving that consti tuency the protection of the ballot, would effectually put an end to all corrupt practices. He thought it right, having presented the motion, to remind the House of it. He heartily concurred in the motion for the adjourn ment. Mr. P. STEWART saw no other course before him. than to move that the second reading of the Bill be post poned for a week. He should withdraw the motion. He begged to move that a copy of the Bill be served upon the Returning Officer of the borough of Sudbury. BRIDPORT ELECTION. Mr. C. BULLER felt that it was his duty to resume the adjourned debate on this question. The House having resolved that an inquiry should take place into certain corrupt practices alleged to have taken place at Bridport ; he wished to find out the manner in which . . - that inquiry should be conducted. He wished not to mix up with this inquiry any personalities which had existed in the former debate; he thought that this bo rough should have been the first into which the Corn mitte of the Hon. Member for Bath should have in quired. He should move that the Order of the Day be read. Mr. GEO. BANKES could not agree with the Hon. Member opposite ; he did not think that the petition of Mr. Warburton should be treated in any manner dif ferently from the petitions of any one else, He thought the House would have acted more consistently if it had not been so hasty in adopting the proposition of the Hon. Member for Bath. He should indeed tremble to carry that principle out to any extent. A certain num ber of decisions were contravened, and had not been carried out because compromises had been made. That principle he could understand ; but the principle which was now proposed he could not understand ; but he did see a great deal of harm in it. With respect to the ma jority the other night, it certainly was a very large one ; but Honourable Members did not appear to be at all decided in their ulterior views. —(Hear. hear.) Was this a subject for a Bill of Indemnity ? No ground had been shown for such a Bill, and he, for one, would never concur in the passing of a Bill of In demnity on such grounds as had been stated in the pe tition of Mr. Warburton ; and without such a Bill, to conduct the inquiry proposed would be utterly useless. For these reasons, therefore, he should oppose the proposition of his Learned Friend, the Member for Liskeard. Mr. BROTHERTON said, that if Hon. Members would not postpone questions that were opposed, he had no other alternative than to move the adjournment of the House.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " Go on.") Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion. Mr. C. BULLER said that his object in bringing this question forward was, that his Hon. Friend's Bill should not be disposed of before the present question was decided. Mr. ROEBUCK had no desire whatever to have this matter referred to the Committee he had obtained, but he wished to set the House right as to the mode in which the matter stood. The Hon. Gentleman who had spoken last was mistaken in supposing that the House had in trusted any powers to him ; all that it had done was to appoint a Committee, and to entrust the powers referred to to that Committe. For his own part, he was averse to any more cases being referred to the Committee, as he thought it had a suf ficiently heavy burden to deal with at present. With respect to the observation made the other night by the Hon. Member for Bridpoit (Mr. Mitchell). relative to his (Mr. Roebuck's) absence, he must observe that in making the motion for the Committee which had been granted, he had not, in his opinion, subjected himself to listen to all the tediousness which was to be uttered re specting bribery. If the House thought that this elec tion should be referred to the Committee, he (sir. Roe- buck) must bow to its decision. Mr. B. COCHRANE said, that if Hon, Members re ferred to the petition, they would find that he was not charged by the petitioner with bribery, but with having spent sums unknown ; which merely meant that the peti tioner did not know what amount of money he (Mr. Coch- rane) had expended. He had no objection to having the petition referred to the Committee. Mr. DARBY thought the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath pursued a course in the present case which was scarcely justifiable. Mr. ROEBUCK rose to order. He did not think the Hon. Member was in order in using that expression. Mr. DARBY said he used the words "scarcely jus tifiable," and he never knew that such language was un parliamentary. The motion of the Hon. and Learned Member was for an inquiry into corrupt compromises, and not into cases of bribery. When the Hon. and Learned Member made his motion this very objection was urged. He could not, therefore, consent to the motion of the Hon. Member for Liskeard. Lord SANDON said the real question before the House was whether the case of Bridport was parallel to the other cases which had been referred to the Com- mitteee of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath, the question that the case of Bridport be inquired into was already decided. Now in the case of Bridport it was ae lcraowledged that compromises had taken place, and the gentleman who presented the petition stated that he en tered into those compromises in order to screen certain elt ctors.—(Hear.) He therefore thought that Bridport stc od in the same category with the other boroughs, and for that reason he would vote for its being referred to thee Committee, which was obtained by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath.—(Cheers.) r The House had nothing whatever to do with the motives which induced panties to bring this case forward.—(Hear.) It was enough to kno‘;; that compromises had taken place. N Tr. ROEBUCK trusted the House would permit him to d efend himself against the charge which had been brat fight against him. He had been accused of having adt opted an unjustifiable proceeding. He had made a rue bon. It was complained that the motion was not suf fici intly definite ; he had altered it, still it was not con sidered sufficiently definite. He had made a third att€ vnpt, in which he had succeeded, and had introduced cert t iu alterations at the suggestion of the Right Hon. Bare .nsit at the head of the Government. At that time the I to use was full. Every Member's attention had been draw nto the subject. One Hon. Member,whohaisinee givet L notice of a motion on the subject, had actually antic' ad to this very case of Bridport. How, therefore, could . he be accused of anything unjustifiable ? It was absv 0:d to imagine that he could palm off a motion in that,.way on such acute men as the Right Hon.

After a few words from Sir JOHN WALSH, strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided— For referring the case to the Committee 44 Against it Majority WITNESSES INDEMNITY BILL. -28 The second reading of the Bill was deferred till Friday. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. WANT OF ROADS IN THE HIGH LANDS. The following documents point out conduct on the part of the Parliamentary Commissioners for making roads in the Highlands of Scotland, which requires the immediate attention of the Lord Advocate and the Home Secretary. An Act was passed in 1805 di recting roads to be made in certain districts, and Com missioners were appointed for carrying the works into effect. Whether, owing to the more powerful interest of the landlords in the favoured district, or the par tiality of the Commissioners, the money has been ex pended on a few of the lines, while one district, con taining a population of 9,679 individuals, and com prehending more than one-third of the extensive county of Ross, has been totally neglected. This is not only unjust towards the landlords, but it is the cause of great suffering to the inhabitants. Crime is thereby encouraged, industry is checked, and the poor people, having no means of communication with the sea or the neighbouring country, are, in had sea sons, reduced to absolute starvation. In addition to this the ends ofjustice are defeated, as the county town is distant some fifty miles, and owing to the want of roads, and the enormous expense of prosecutions, not one criminal in ten is brought to trial. In fact, during seasons of scarcity, the districts of Lochbroom and Gairloch are in a more lawless condition than even the county of Tipperary. This is not a mere ques tion of pounds, shillings, and pence—it concerns the morals, the industry, and the peace of the community, and a humane Government must, therefore, be anxious to abate the evil. A correspondent, in adverting to the small sum required for forming the roads makes this significant remark : " The 6,0001. given to the Scotch parsons to build them a splendid house in Edin burgh, or Temple of Discord for the General Assem bly to wrangle in, would have been nearly sufficient for that purpose, now that the price of labour is fallen, and would surely have been as well bestowed in giving justice to the nine thousand inhabitants of Lochbroom and Gairloch as for the convenience of the Scotch clergy " The letter of Mr. Jardine, the Sheriff of the county, ought to have some weight with the Go • vernment. " 1 • t is scarcely possible," says he, " when any crime is committed in that district, to reach the delinquents." This is a disgrace to a civilized com munity. But the statements require no comment ; and we, therefore, lay them before the public, with the hope that immediate steps will be taken to do justice to the landed proprietors as well as the dis tressed population : STATE OF THE DISTRICT OF LOCHBROOM AND GAIRLOCH. The district of Lochbroom and Gairloch, on the west coast of Ross-shire, comprehends in extent inure than one-third of the county, with a population, by the late census, of 9,G79 individuals, nearly all engaged in the fisheries. There is not a single passable road in the whole of this extensive and populous district,. nor a road of communi cation from it to the other parts of the county passable by even a small cart. The consequence of this is, the people are in a state of poverty, often almost. of starvation ; half civilised and lawless ; and committing outrages unknown in other parts of Scotland, and which the constituted authorities have hitherto been unable, from the rugged and imper vious state of the district, to punish or prevent. 1. They are poor, because they have no access to mar kets, a circumstance which would soon reduce any dis trict, either in England or Scotland, to poverty : they cannot sell to each other articles which all possess, and have no means of carrying them elsewhere. Should their potatoe crop fail, and their families be starving, they have no way of bringing provisions to them. When their corn-crops are damaged by a wet harvest, which often occurs in that wet climate, they are obliged to sow their damaged seed, which occasions another defi cient crop, there being no road by which they could pro cure sound seed. When their cattle are dying, in a severe winter from want of provender, they cannot, if they had the money in their hand, bring hay from the more culti vated parts of the county for their relief. Is it any wonder, then, that these unfortunate people should often be in a state of distress requiring public aid ? and the public have often given them generous relief. 2. They are in a half civilized state, from want of in tercourse with the more advanced parts of the country. They are, in point of civilization and the arts of life, at least a full century behind the inhabitants in the eastern extremity of the county, intersected as it is with roads, and occupied by farmers who vie with those of the Lothians. In the district of Lochbroom and Gairloch, with its nine thousand inhabitants, there is scarcely a dozen carts. On it, while improvements are so rapidly advancing elsewhere, with railroads, &c., a cen tury has made no difference. The people are still in the same condition as their ancestors, without industry, or an impulse to industry. 3. And they are lawless, as a necessary consequence of their uncivilized state, and of their distance from the courts of law. They think the law cannot reach them, and they therefore take the law into their own hands, and commit outrages, such as incendiarism, firing shots through windows, houghing cattle and sheep, cutting the throats of horses, and other barbarous acts, not one of which has .. hitherto been followed by. punishment, because the officers of justice say that they cannot, in that wild impenetrable country, get hold of the delinquents. Such is the state of justice there. Even a small debt, too, cannot b e recovered without the parties and the witnesses going to Dingwall, a distance of from forty to seventy or eighty m il es f rom the mass of the population, without roads or bridges, and at the loss of a week of time, which i s o ft en more than the debt is worth. Now, her Majesty's Ministers may no doubt say, "if the people are poor from want of access to markets, let them starve, we are not bound to relieve their poverty, or to support them." Granted ; but it is humbly con ceived that a population of 9,679 individuals have some claim on the Government of the country to protection to property and access to justice. If the roads, which were directed by Act of Parliament to be made in that quar ter had been executed, as the Act directs, both evils would have been removed ; .but this, by a gross breach faith, on the part of the Parliamentary Commissioners, • was not done. All, then, the people ask is, that these unexecuted roads be yet proceeded with, which may be now done at a much less expense than was formerly estimated. On this point, at least, they have a claim on the honour and good faith of the Govern ment, since they paid for the other roads in the county, on the express words of the Act, that their own roads should likewise be made, as will be seen by the Memo rial to the Parliamentary Commissioners. At Loch carron, where a Parliamentary road has been made, the inhabitants carry their fish and other articles to Ding wall. and bring seed-corn, hay, and provisions, for their families in return. Last year more than 100 carts have been seen on that road in one day, carrying herrings to Dingwall, Easter Ross, and Inverness, while not one could go from Lochbroom and Gairloch. Were the roads which the Parliamentary Commissioners left un executed only made, the 9,679 inhabitants of the Loch broom and Gairloch district would become useful, indus trious members of the community ; distress would be re moved, and the law be respected ; and as it is essentially a fishing population, there would not be a better nursery for hardy seamen, accustomed from their infancy to a most boisterous ocean, in her Majesty's dominions. It is, therefore, hoped that the Ministry will take the state of this neglected, ill-used district into their consideration, and see at least justice done to them, and they ask no more, John Jardine, Esq., Sheriff Depute of the County of Ross, to M. Mackenzie, Esq. My Dear Sir,—l am happy to find that you are re newing your attempt to get the aid of Government in executing the roads from Dingwall to Ullapool and Poolewe, which were left unexecuted by the Parlia mentary Commissioners ; and I sincerely hope you may succeed in your endeavours, and thus open up an impor tant portion of the county of Ross, which, at present, is almost entirely inaccessible. As matters stand at pre sent, it is scarcely possible, when any crime is committed in that district, to reach the delinquents, and the want of a road puts it out of the power of the Sheriff to hold Circuit Courts in that district, while the distance from Dingwall is such as in a great measure to preclude the inhabitants from access to a court of justice, and induces them to take the law into their own hands. I am sure you will do a most essential service to the county if you can succeed in this object, for which you have my earnest wishes. Ever, dear Sir, yours, (Signed) JOHN JARDINE.

TIMES.—A very rapid advance in the value of silver but lion has taken place from the 27th of May to the 31st (yester day). The Mexican dollar, which at the first of these dates was worth 4s. 91d., has risen to 4s. 10A1. ; the Spanish pillar dollar ha; risen from 45. Mid. to 45. I I d., or 4s. 11 d. ; and silver from 4s. Hid. to 4s. 11 0. It is generally supposed that this rise it to be attributed to the raisin , - of the rates of ex change on India bills by the East India Company, whigh was at the time, expected to cause a drain of silver bullion. Thin supposition is strongly confirmed by the fact, that of the dif ferent kinds of bullion above enumerated, the Spanish pillar dollar has advanced the most. This is the coin that is readily taken in Chiba, and which therefore has a fietitions value, which in operations with that country raises it above the mere bullion value. Hence an advance in this particular coin occa sions the opinion that it is for remittances in the direction of China that it is in request. The East India Company have advanced the rates since the 26th of May in all the presidencies, raising that on Calcutta from 2s. to 2s. Id., that on Bombay from 2s. Op. to 2s. 1 Id., and that on Madras from 2s. Oid. to 2s. 1 1 / 2 d. It is thought likely that the real object of this ad vance of the rate is to prevent any offers being made for their paper 011 India, singe, with the expenses of the Affghan and Chinese wars, it is not improbable that so much revenue may be absorbed abroad that there is comparatively but a small amount to be sent to England. SUN.—The Funds closed very firm, and the final bargaia in Consuls for immediate transfer was made at 921 ; the last quotation for the Account was 93A 93i, with a firm appear.. ance ; Bank Stock, 1671 1681 ; India Stock, 250 252 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 41 44; Advertised, 36 38 rem. The books for transfer in Consols and most of the other Stocks are now closed preparatory to the payment of the July Dividends; bargains for the future until the 15th of that month will only be for a time, transfers not being permitted. except by special permission of the Directors, and then only under particular circumstances. Eastern Counties, 9i 9i ; Northern and Eastern, 42 43 ; Blackwall, II Ili; and Brighton, 358. 3.5 i per Share. The Bonds were thus quoted—Colombian, 261 A 26 ; Peruvian, 18i l9i ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 37i ; the Three per Cents., 214 24; Spanish Five per Cents., 226 ; and the Three per Cents., 234 24. It will be observed that Spanish Stock has rallied since the afternoon, and recovered from the intelligence of Senor Rull's resignation; whether he or any one else be Minister, the position of the Bondholders cannot be altered, while the finances remain in the state they are. Foreign Securities %ere without particular business, and although money continues scarce in this market, prices are steady. Belgian Bonds were 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 524 ; the Five per Cents. ICI 101 i ; Danish, 801,4 81%; and Brazilian, 67 63.

ATTEMPT on the QUEEN'S LIFE.
