The Committee for conducting the Belfast inquiry met this morning at one o'clock. The committee-room was not opened till two, when it appeared that it had been decided to admit the public, as in the case of the South- ampton inquiry. The Committee consists of Mr. Liddell, Mr. Cripps, Mr. Protheroe, Sir B. Hall, Viscount Ebrington, Mr. Shawe, Mr. East, and Mr. Dennison. Mr. Emerson Tennent was present, and took notes of the proceedings. The first witness called was Mr. R. Gordon, who stated that he was a burgess of Belfast, but not a registered elector. He knew Mr. Dunbar intimately ;he did not stand as a candidate at the last election. He could not tell whether his reasons for not standing 1 were connected with any pecuniary arrangement, pend ing the last petition. He was in London by accident, and was present at an interview between Mr. Campbell and Mr. M'Neil, but had no authority to act. It was on the Wednesday. morning that the Committee was to meet. He had no communication with Mr. Bates as to his (witness) taking any parties the compromise, but he had a good deal of conversation about the petition. The conver sation between Mr. M'Neil and Mr. Campbell, referred to a former one, at which witness was not present. It began by Mr. Campbell stating that he must have a thousand pounds ; Mr. Campbell was acting in behalf of the Liberal and petitioning party. The reply of Mr. M'Neil was, that if the petition went on it would cost both par ties a great deal of money, and that it was a pity some arrangement had not been made. The thousand pounds was demanded to cover the expenses, as he had been 600/. out of pocket, and was sure that he owed 6001., more. The 4001. more was required to defray the expenses of the petition. If the matter was left to arbitration whether a thousand pounds should be paid or six hundred pounds, it was understood that Mr. M'Neil and Mr. Campbell should do their utmost to prevent a contest. Mr. M'Ncil was called. Was a Director of the Northern Banking Company. He was not aware that the Conservative Fund was lodged in the Bank. He did not know anything more of the Conservative Fund at the la..t election, except that he subscribed 250/. to it him self. He did not pay it into the Bank, but handed it over to Mr. S. Thompson. There were other subscrip tions. He believed Mr. Gordon, the last witness, was also a subscriber. A Mr. Fenton also subscribed. He could not recollect the particular sums and names, the whole amount he had heard was about 4,0001.; he did not know whether through the medium of the Bank, they could get at the amount cif names, as he could not tell whether Mr. Thompson kept it in the Bank in his: own name or not. He was in Lon don at the time the petitton was pending, on other business, and interfered to make an arrangement, but not a c6ropromise. He did not think that a com promise where the petitioner had his prayer granted in full. The proposition of the arrangement passed from himself to Mr. Campbell. He first suggested that the Conservatives should resign and go to a new election, and that himself and Mr. Campbell should use their in fluence to prevent a contest, as they had had five in the last ten years, and had spent ten thousand pounds on the last petition, when they unseated Lord Belfast and Mr. Gibson. Mr. Camphell regretted that such an arrange ment had not been proposed before they left Belfast. He and Mr. Campbell came to no agreement) that day ; he asked for money, demanding a thousand pounds. He did not agree to that, and the next morn ing Mr. Campbell called at his rooms and represented that a great expense had been gone to in bringing wit nesses to London, and that it would cost as much more to get them back again, which might have been avoided had the arrangement been concluded at Belfast. Wit ness thought that there was some justice in the representation, especially as the presenting the peti tion would only obtain the petitioners a void elec tion. He agreed to let it be a void election, and on condition that there should be no contest at the ensuing election, he agreed to pay Mr. M'Neil 6001. lie had not paid that sum, as he considered one of the conditions was that the election should be gone into. The arrangement was made on the day the petition was tried. lie had heard that there had been bribery on both sides, but did not know any instance of it. No proof was to be offered on the petition of bribery or personation. They got the opinion of Mr. Austin as to the validity of the election, and it was unfavourable, four of the deputy returning-officers being under age, which was of itself sufficient to vitiate the election. Bribery was alleged in the petition, but no evi dence was taken on it, though Mr. Campbell told'him he was prepared with evidence on all the points in the petition. There was no threat held out of start ing other candidates. He believed that Mr. Dunbar's motive for declining to stand was a personal, not a pecuniary, one. Mr. Johnson subscribed, he be lieved, 1,000/. to the fund, but Mr. Emerson Ten nent did not give a farthing. He was not an elector, and did not vote. He did not know that any Conservative Committee was appointed ; he had attended meetings of ten, twelve, or twenty persons at a time, but he did not consider himself a member of the Committee. He did not read the case submitted to M. Austin, but saw his opinion ; that opinion was given to the oppo site party, and they got a copY ! - ,f it. Mr. Aus.ia was counsel for the opposite party. The opiniou applied to every allegation of bribery, personation, and every sin under the sun usually put into an election petition. The point which he thought they should not be able to fight against, and on which he acted, was the obstruction that took place to the polling in one of the booths, and the juniority of the Re turning Officers. The arrangement was never put in writing. The list of deputies was made up by Mr. Vernon, he Returning-officer, and shown to both parties, by ;horn they were approved. He was influenced by the state of the constituency, to propose the arrangement ; the list of voters contained 5,000 names, but he did not believe that the bona fide voters were more than 2,000. The difference arose from a great number of persons within the last eight years having removed two or three times, and appearing on the list two, three, or even more times over. Under the Reform Bill, also, a large number of low persons had been put on the registry, who ought not to have been put there. The state of the town, during an elec tion, was extremely riotous and disorderly, and this, and the state of the constituency, was what induced him to propose the arrangement. He had not yet paid 6001.; but, if he had done so, he was quite sure that his party would pay him again. He considered the 6001. was merely to reimburse the other party for the expense they had been at in bringing witnesses from Belfast. While the arrangement was pending between him and Mr. Campbell, Mr. Gordon and Mr. Ross were the only persons he communicated with. He did not communicate with them at all till after the petition was decided, and then he did not state the particulars, but merely said he had every reason to hope that there would be no contest at the next election. He believed there might be some persons at Befast who were dissatisfied with the result of the arrangement, such as those who had cars to hire, and those who were disappointed of what they might have expected to get. SOUTHAMPTON. he wrote his name. His counting-house was not far distant. It might be from 14 to 20 feet away. When he received Mr. Abrahams' signature he believed he went home. The first time he showed it was to Mr. Mackay to obtain the money for Twyford. He directed Mackay's attention to Abraham's signature. The first person he showed the book to after the election was Mr. Woulfs. He is a Whig. He showed it to him two months previous to the inves tigation' before the late Committee. He did so because Mr. Woulfe was a friend mid a tenant of his. He showed him the book, and said to him, you see what I can reveal, and I would wish to protect Mr. Abrahams. He though he was justified in showing the book to him, from the treatment he received. To the Committee—The protection he requir ed was, that knowing the manner in which he was mixed up with the transactions of the late election, that the case should be laid before counsel to advise him how he was to proceed. He ap plied to the leading Conservatives of Southampton when he received the Speaker's warrant, and they did not offer him the least protection. They left him to himself. Does not know what to attribute this change of conduct on the part of the Conservatives to. Had no fear that Mr. Woulfe would tell that he had such a book. The next person who saw the book was a member of the House of Commons. He does not at present recollect his name. He is a Scotch Member. After the late pro ceedings before the Southampton Committee he had no wish to keep it a secret that he possessed this book. He had frequent conversations with Mr. Blanchard. He told Mr. Blanchard that he spent money in bribing votes. He did nut tell him he would blow up the Tory party. He saw Mr. Blanchard in his (witness's) house. It was a short time before the election. It might have been before the book was shown to Woulfe. Has not any dates. The book was at home when he appeared before the Committee. It was in his desk. His wife had the key of it. She saw the book. He never said that he was offored 3001. for the purpose of selling the Conservative cause. He never said su to Mr. Abrahams, or to the like effect. Did not say so to Mr. Pike or Mr. Coulson. If any person swears so, he will swear what is not the fact. He never received a shilling, or was made any offer by the Whig party. Mr. Abrahams was in the habit of discounting bills. He discounted a bill for him for 3CI. four months previous to the election. Mr. Abrahams gave him a cheque on his banker for 261 los., and kept 31. 10s. for discount.—(Laughter.) Mr. SUIEL—I suppose Mr. Abrahams is of the Jewish persuasion ?—(Laughter.) Witness—He is. He did say anything to him about his signature. He asked him for protection. The witness then went en to detail the circumstances of 6aTlfan's case, and said that he told Mr. Parks he was offered 100/. by Mr. Brown. He did not know why it was not stated in the petition. - 'The cross-examination was proceeding with, when it was announced that the Speaker was at prayers, and the Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow. CRICKETMATCH-(THIS DAY.) THE COUNTY OF SUSSEX v. THE MARYLE BONE CLUB. This groat trial terminated this afternoon at Lord's in favour of the County of Sussex by a majority of 145 runs. The Committee met this day at 12 o'clock, the Hon. J. S. Wortley in the Chair. Mr. lIEARN said that as the presence of Mr. Blanchard was very necessary to him as being the agent of the Con servative party at the last election, he hoped he would be called before the Committee to give his evidence. Mr. BAKER said he would call Mr. Blanchard as soon as possible. Mr.; Blanchard said that he was looked upon himself as an agent in the case. The CHAIRNAN said that there could be no objection to Mr. Blanchard's being present in that character. . . Mr. Blanchard then withdrew to procure a written ap pointment of agency, and having produced one was al lowed to be present. John Bennett Luce, who was called yesterday even ing, and did not answer to his name, was called again this morning. The Committee finding that he was not forthcoming, John Horn, a messenger of the House, was called, and proved that a summons was sent in the usual way to Mr. Luce. John Wren was recalled and examined—A bill for 301., draw n by the witness upon Mr. Woulfe, of South ampton, and discounted by Mr. Abrahams, was handed in and proved. Mr. Stebbing had the books relating to the festival which was given in Southampton in his possession. Saw them with him. Cross-examined by Mr. IIEARN—With regard to the suppers and refreshments, which he stated were prepared in almost every public house in Southampton, he would not undertake to give the names of any of them. He voted in 1820 for the Liberal candidates ; in 1830 he noted for the Tories; in 1832 for the Reform candidates; did not vote in 1835; in 1837 he voted for the Tories; and in 1841 for the Tories. He stated in his petition that the losing candidates hi 1835:expended 2,0001.; had that in formation through Mr. Sharp, who exerted himself for the Liberals, dr. Parks, of Great George-street; told him so when he went to get his petition drawn. He stated in his petition that the Conservative party lost 3,000/., and the Liberal party 2,500/., or about that sum, at the election of 1837. The late Mr. Edward Oak told him that the Tories expended that sum. He heard from Mr. Parks, through Mr. Sharp, that the Liberals lost 2,5001. ; to the best of his belief Mr. Parks told him that Mr. Sharp told him (Mr. Parks) so. With regard to the sum expended in 1841 he had his information from the same source. He means to say that the names on the Finance Committee which he handed in wer e th ose t o w h om th e organ i sa ti on o f ex tensive bribing was committed. He was not a member of the Committee. Considers himself a Member of the Bribery Committee, because he unfortunately was engaged in various acts o f b r ib ( r y. H e was in the Finance Committee th ree ti mes . H a d not . a right to go there. The Fi nance C omm itt ee sa t up stairs in the Dolphin, th e G eneral Committee sat below stairs. Did not see Mr. Abrahams in the Finance Com mittee. Put his name d own as one of the members of it because he carried out the arrangements of bribery made by himself. He (lid not see Mr. Stebbing there. He put his name down because Mr. Selwood told him that Mr. St e bbi ng dealt out the money very sparingly. i Mr. St e bbi ng was the She riff, and he did not appear n the room on that accouut. Saw Mr. Mackay and Mr. Bennett there. Saw Mr. Deacon in the general Committee-room during the c:tiivass. The witness then . went over the evi dence he gave before respecting the memorand um book. He had it in his possession when he g o t the Speaker's warrant, requiring him t o produce all books and papers, lie did nut produce that book. Mr. Abrahams did not see the book from the time he wrote his name in it. It was a day or two le. fore the election that Mr. Abrahams wrote his name in it. It was during the day. He wrote the name at his shop. door. He (Abrahams) called witness as he was passing. It is a jeweller's shop in the High-street of Southampton. It is a public street.

DESTITUTION IN IRELAND, Mr. DILLON BROWN wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, if he had received any account of the dreadful destitution, from which the people were suffering, in the counties of Mayo and Galway ; if it was the intention of Government to adopt any measures to alleviate that distress ; and whether any . subscrip tions for that purpose had been entered into in the lo cality ; and, also, if the Government, in case no private subscriptions should be entered into, intended to adopt any measures for the relief of that distress ? Lord ELIOT begged to state that the Government had received information of the great distress existing in d fferent parts of Ireland, more particularly in the Co-un ties of Mayo and Galway, and throughout the province of Connaught generally. The Government was in constant communication on the subject with nume- rous persons residing in those districts. The Govern ment had taken such means as had been thought expe dient to mitigate that distress ; but he did not consi der it expedient more particularly to describe what those measures were. He thought it right to add, that, with very few exceptions, the persons residing in that neighbourhood, who were . in a situation to afford relief to their poorer neighbours, had come forward to do so—(Cheers) —and he was happy to add that there was every prospect of the dis tress coming to a speedy termination. Mr ; O'CONNELL asked the Noble Lord if the Go vernment had received any information that the people in the distressed districts had been obliged, through absolute starvation, to take the property of others in order to prevent themselves from perishing. Lord ELIOT'S answer was inaudable in the gallery. OUTRAGE AT BANDON. . Lord BARNARD wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland if he had received information that a party of gentlemen had left the town of Bandon for the purpose of dining on the sea-shore ; that while they were seated at dinner a party of persons arrived in. boats, and, having left their boats, attacked and violently assaulted the party who were dining. He wished to ask if the Government had empowered a Stipendiary Ma gistrate to investigate these proceedings, and if that magistrate had reported that the attack was a premedi tated one. Lord ELIOT said that the stipendiary magis trate of the district, assisted by the local magis trates, had, in the course of his ordinary duty, instituted - an inquiry into the case alluded to by the Noble Lord. The result of that inquiry was, to satisfy the Magistrate that the attack was wanton and unprovoked—that the party was a mere party of pleasure—that the gentlemen constituting it displayed no party emblems—and that the music played no party tunes. He was quite at a loss to discover the motives for so cruel and wanton an attack. Every means had been taken to apprehend the perpetrators, of it. None had as yet been taken, but he hoped that the leaders would soon be brought to justice. MARKET IN TELL GEN CE. ( From the London New Price Current of June 28.)

Mr. LACOUCHERE bad last night understood the Right Hon. Baronet to say that he should to day first move the third reading of the Tariff Bill, next the third reading of the Colonial Customs Bill, and then the Committee on the Poor-law Bill. Now from the votes it appeared that the Right Hon. Baronet had given notice that he would move the third reading of the Tariff Bill first, then the Committee on the Poor law Bill, and lastly the Colonial Customs Bill. Sir ROBERT PEEL said the Right Hon. Gentleman was perfectly right in his recollection. He (Sir R. Peel) was surprised when he saw the votes this morning, and if the House had uo objection he would adhere to the course which he had originally proposed to the House. COINAGE OF HALF FARTHINGS. Mr. HUME, seeing the Right Hon. the Master of the Mint in his place, wished, as a proclamation had been sent to him with respect to the coinage of half farthings, to ask whether it was a hoax or really the case. - Mr. GLADSTONE said the Hon. Member should by right have put his question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; he would, how: ver, inform him that it was not a hoax that the Government intended to make an issue of such coin, it was not, however, a coinage in tended exclusively for the people of this country, but such a coin being in request in some of the colonies, it had been thought advisable to issue such a coin. DISTRESS IN PAISLEY. Mr. WALLACE, seeing the Secretary of State for the Home Department in his place, begged to inquire if it was true that the Commission and Commissioners, who had been intrusted to provide for the destitute poor in Paisley. had been withdrawn ; and, secondly, whether they bad left means behind them to provide fir the desti tute population. Sir J. GRAHAM said that the gentlemen adverted to had not been sent to distribute public money, but charitable fund; raised for a charitable purpose, and their services being no longer required they had left Paisley. The subject then dropped. CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord ELIOT moved the third reading of the Corpora tions (Ireland) Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the Government were entitled to great credit for having taken upon themselves the bringing forward the present measure. He believed it would be productive of great good. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. NOTTINGHAM COMPROMISE. The Order of the Day was then read, for the attend ince of John Walter at the bar of the House. The SPEAKER then called upon the Clerk to read the Special Report of the Committee, presented yesterday. The Clerk having read the Report, . The SPEAKER said that he had now to ask Mr. John Walter, whether he had any further statement to make besides that contained in the Report just read ? Mr. Walter said he begged to assure the House, that in refusing to attend that Committee he was very far from attemptiing any disrespect to the House ; neither did he feel any reluctance to lay before the Com mittee appointed by that House the fullest explanation in his power of all the transactions in which he was personally concerned as connected with the late elec tion for Nottingham • on the contrary, he should feel excessively pained if he were prevented, by what he conceived to be a paramount duty, from rendering obe dience to the Hcuse by declaring all he knew. He hoped that it would be considered additional proof of his re spect for the House, if he abstained from consuming its time by any lengthened defence of the course he had ' taken—a course dictated by the deepest and most con scientious sense of the obligation imposed upon every subject of the British Crown, to stand upon his constitutional rights, and to demand that he should be tried by none but an impartial tribunal, to which personal prejudice and affection should be alike unknown. He had received a summons at a quarter past three o'clock last Friday, requiring his attendance forthwith, with an injunction to produce papers he had never even seen, especially the much talked of compromise. The House Was now in possession of the grounds which had induced him to take the course he had pursued. He believed it would be difficult to find any parallel in the records of a free State, any example, any precedent, not already revoked with indignation by the public voice, for a proceeding by which a subject was to be arraigned before a Court, the presiding mem ber of which had used expressions of so much personal hostility as the lion. Member for Bath had used respect ing him ; and the House would be pleased to observe that those expressions were used, not privately, not in a whisper, but openly and loudly in that very House, in the superior tribunal itself from which the inferior tribunal, over which the Honourable Member presided, had emanated. He trusted, therefore, that he might claim the indulgence and protection of the House, when placed by no act of his own in so embarrassing a position. Having with all deference to the House made those observations, which he hoped would be considered in the nature of a respect ful protest, he would submit himself to any order which the Speaker would think proper to address to him, and he placed himself in the hands of the House. The SPEAKER then asked, whether any Hon. Mem ber had any question to ask ? The question having been put, The SPEAKER—Addressing Mr. Walter, said—You may withdraw. Mr. Walter having, accordingly, withdrawn, Mr. ROEBUCK rose and said, that he conceived he should best perform the duty imposed upon him, which was a Ministerial one, as Chairman of the Committee appointed to inquire into certain proceedings relating to the late election at Nottingham, by,moving simply, in the formal terms, " That Mr. Walter do attend the Committee, and give his evidence, on to-morrow, at eleven o'clock., Sir W, SOMERVILLE seconded the motion. The qiiestion having henti puf f ilffe R. H. INGLIS rose and said, that he retained the op tions he had already repeatedly expressed. He had, in a Mind" occeeiote alluded to the position of the Hon. Old Learned Member for bath, to whom he might now refer, without being guilty of any informality, - because he was the individual who had moved the attend ance of Mr, - Walter, If lie had been informal on afeteert occasion, he trusted he should not now be violating courtesy or. propriety by addressing himself l . more especially tu him, He would not enter into ar t e e question hoW far the individual who had Inte l !) , , appe _d a right at the Bar of the House Might or might not to eX Atli' br ittid teamed Memhera‘feor Bath. Strictly speaking, no party had a right to allude to former discussions in th at House. He hoped, irOWeVnia that the House enforce ly the present instance that technical ad . .r .

The distinction might be suffi ciently clear to a legal mind ; but it was not so clear to the mpjority of that House as to make it very import an t w h at would be used. Practically speaking, every individual called before that Committee, by the acknowledgment made on the previous day, was summoned before an inquisition.—(Hear, hear.) He used the word delibe rately. He was called before an inquisition, in which, without knowing who may have been heard before him, or who may be heard after him, ho is to answer before an individual who had declared himself personally aggrieved by him, He was there required to answer any such questions as the majority of! the Committee raiglit think fit, touching every • matter connected with the last election .foe Nottingham, and without heieg his accusers, without seeing any witness, be was compelled to sub- . ject l self to theix inuisitinn.--(lear, hear.) He had understood that the Committee had resolved that whenever an allegation was made against any individual, that person should have due notice given him of it. Would that be tolerated in any court of law Whatever ?—(Hear, hear.) Was there any court in England, in which such a perversion and denial of law and justice would be permitted ?—(Cheers.) He did not look to one side of the House or the other; he appealed to the House generally, and he asked them as English gentlemen, whether they would consent to the continuation of this system ? He had intended, a few nights ago, when he heard that an Honourable Member had been refused admittance to the Committee as a party, though he was told he might be admitted if he insisted on his right as a Member, to have tried whether this tri bunal, giving it credit for every impartiality and desire for justice, ought not to conduct their proceedings on the same principles upon which every other Court of England, from the highest to the lowest, conducted its inquiries with one memorable exception. That exception was the Star Chamber—and in another country there was another exception in the Inquisition. Let him not be told of the case of a Grand Jury ; that was a preliminary inquiry, and there was a wide dis tinction between that tribunal and the tribunal which the House had, he ventured to say, too hastily instituted. A traduced person required to appear and submit himself to seven judges Admitting that they' were of absolutely unimpeachable character, was it fitting that an English subject should be ca!led before this tribunal without any power of protect ing himself, when if it were a jury he might challenge the Jurymen? The Hon. and Learned Member himself (Mr. Roebuck) would not contend that he should sit as a, juryman at the trial of Mr. Walter, and if not as a juryman ought he sit as a Judge ? But the lion. and Learned Member was not the only party with whom the House had to deal. Mr. Walter had appeared at the bar of the House, had made his protest, and stated his willingness to sub mit to its order. With that order he did not, in the circumstances of the case, think it his duty to interfere. Who had been Mr. Walter's advisers, or whether he had had any at all, he (Sir R. Inglis) knew not ; but, if lie had been his adviser, he would not have counselled him to take that course he had done. In his opinion he had relinquished the high ground upon which he might have stood. First, by writing the letter which he had done; and, secondly, by the statement that he had made to the House. Then they had a willing witness, but a different case might occur. With that will ing witness they might deal as they thought fit. but suppose an individual should claim the benefit, nut of the law of the country, but of the principle of the law. —(Hear.) An individual might claim to be tried before a Jury, against no one of whom they could make an ob jection ; at all events not to be tried before a Committee, the leading Members of which had pronounced an opinion decidedly unfavourable to him. He could conceive no situation more painful than that of a Judge, situated like the Han. Member for Bath, and for the lion. Mem ber's own sake, as much as for that of Mr. Wal ter's, he would deprecate the Hon. Gentleman's continuance as Chairman of that Committee. In any, other tribunal, but a Committee of the House of Commons, the Judge would shrink from presiding under such circumstances. Mr. Walter having submitted to the order of the House, he did not feel himself justified in making any motion for the purpose of preventing the Order of the House from taking effect. Colonel .SIBTHORP said he cordially agreed with all that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Oxford. He knew not whether more to admire the able speech of the Hon. Member for Oxford, or the straightforward and respectful conduct of the gentleman who appeared at the bar. He gloried in the conduct of that gentle man, and . if it should be the pleasure' of the House, to visit him with its pains and penalties, he would be the first to pay him a visit.—(Loud laughter.) A more un constitutional and arbitrary system had never emanated from the British House of Commons.— (Hear, hear.) Sir GEORGE GREY though t . the House ought not to be satisfied with merely adopting the motion, but that something should be done to enforce the authority of the Committee. He could make every allowance for the feelings of a Gentleman who had been attacked in the loose, and therefore he had no wish that any harsh steps should be taken ; but if he rightly understood the speech which had been made at the bar. The Gentleman who made it had demurred to the authority of the in ferior tribunal, though he bowed to the authority of the House, and he thought it most important, they should not 'sanction any such distinction. He would thereford suggest that the motion should be followed up by an admonition from the Speaker. Sir R. PEEL said he was quite prepared to support the authority of the tribunal which had been regularly appointed by the House. The authority rested in fact not with the Committee but the ,House ; but it would be impossible for the Committee to carry out their powers unless they come supported by the House. Considering that Mr. Walter had expressed his readines to submit to any order of the House, he (Sir R. Peel) on the whole thought the best and most dignified course to pursue would be to signify to Mr. Walter that it was his bounden duty to attend the Committee and give evidence. That he thought was the best course, which had also been adopted in the case of Mr. Fleming, who had refused to give evidence, which he deemed inconsistent with his character as a man of honour. The order of the House, on that occasion, was, that Mr. Speaker should inform Mr. Fleming that he was bound to attend the Committee and give evidence, and also that, whatever objections lie had to advance should be submitted to the Committee for their decision. After some further discussion, The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the motion 223 Against it Majority for the motion [LEFT SITTING.] -146 EAST INDIA HOUSE. COURT OF PROPRIETORS. ADJOURNED DEBATE ON THE AFFGFIAN WAR. (Continued from our Third Edition of last night.) Mr. THOMSON (in continuation) proceeded to say-- The most important communications were dreadfullY mutilated ; and a great many had not been supplied at all. All that was left out was important, as showini the state of the Affghans, and containing the real opinions of Sir Alexander Burnes. Sir Alexander Burnes was a victim to their policy ; he (Mr. Thomp son) would say it—he was a murdered man. His under: standing, his patriotism, his charity, and experience, all said," Go not to the war." To depose Dost Mahomted was a stroke of most unwise and unjust policy. He wr49 the man to preserve peace, and were he still in power they might be at peace with Affghanistan. He (Mr. Thoinir. son) was a native of this country, and a member Of that Court, and he said that the country ought to o PaY t the expenses of this war.—(Hear, hear.) lie did n care tor the dividends—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that none of them would get their dividends next year, an d i then they would perhaps evince a more Pen eefli character. Perish the money—live the law of God. (Hear.) What right had we to talk of revenge ? venge, indeed, upon the Affghans For what ? ; cause we had attacked their country, dethron ed the king, and they had resisted our attempts, we mast I s out for revenge ; and the melancholy spectael!: t h presented of a Bishop in India finishing a speeen with presented the. words " Only let us get at them." He did th. that Daniel Wilson forgot himself there. Get at tr 13,,,„; indeed. Yes, to thiow ourselves on our knees, an d fr i for mercy for the injuries which we had inflicted use them; but he did say that the country should bear t h expenses.—(Hear.) Instead of quarrelling with Atfghans, he thought the Russians were more wOru . V. t i, our ire, yet we were on the most friendly terms them. Indeed, he thought that the Russians should be the expenses of the war, for they certainly derived WI benefit from it than any other people.—(Hear, ht.; Upon the showing of Sir John Hobhouse, he (i."' Thompson) declared this war to be an unconstitutionai. and an inhuman war, and one of a most impolitic for In answer to the question, however, " Who is to pay. it?" he ansn ered, most unhesitatingly, " Great Brital ° ,' —(Hear.) It was not the interests of India, but tha,g; terests of Great Britain, that stimulated this war. •L'' t interest of India was not to spend 6d. in it. Parliatne,% had been accountable for the war, and Parliament 135°, right to pay for it.—(Cheers.) Whether he looke d at t",, the the characters to have been promoted by its success , or e characters to have been impaired by its failure , or a d honour of the flag—the flag of Great Britain—which , been planted in the country, he felt that this Wile ° r ` r tional question, and not one fbr the East India COrc pang. He did hope that they would prosecute th'lso suit, though he had little hopes that they would do successfully.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN expressed his satisfaction that tl' i . s question had been brought before the Court of Fr° prietors. He agreed with'the mover of the resolatio,t that this was a question of an European character. to (Hear.) There was one point on which it appeared him they had not sufficiently touched. It was this—b ir d INISNeiI who was extremely anxious that the siege,-/ Herat should be raised. He had nearly completed o' n t thing to the satisfaction of both parties, when C°ll-re Simonovich arrived, after which his exertions "' e ,t rendered of no avail, and Shah Soojah underwent a gr"-as change. This he (the Chairman) thought was a stt°-d, Nproof of Russian interference. It was there that GOA esselrode, in reply to a demand for an explanation, sta b ' o t tha Count Simonovich had acted against orders; . 0 did they not see that it was possible for there to be L:ic kinds of orders—one in the case of things going seanntot and all being successful, and one in case they should lila succeed ?—(Hear, hear.) He (the Chairman) confesli, he was surprised to hear Lord Palmerston say th2t',,tbs, was not a foreign question ; if it was not, how ba ," as Foreign Minister, so much to do with it ?—(11-ehs hear.) This matter had claimed the attention of Board of Directors for a long time, and so long sc as the month of April last, a remonstrance was trap mated on the subject to her Majesty's Government. In thought this Court ought to pursue a middle courses,"er, not say that this was an European question altog' r o f but that it partook in a great degree of the charact,e,s an Indian question. He did hope, that the proceena3,7o of her Majesty's Ministers would be such as not on Y es) restore their finances, but peace also, in India.—(C hee tee He should propose the addition of a word or two V 340 motion of the Honourable Proprietor, which he Chairman) might say he hoped would be es" t i,n almost without a dissentient voice. The people of a, country were already very heavily taxed, and he 11,,,n sure that the Minister of the country could Mardi}' e a v r sent to burden the people anew in order to pay ti °e : a t, penses of this war. The Hon. Member's motion at pres,.l,es was to the effect that it was not right that the ealn,s of the war should be borne by India, but by the I,,ceg• quer of the United Kingdom • ho (the Chairman) ~"d e ged to recommend that it should be altered so as t° of vey the meaning that, it was not just that the wb °l o l.- the expenses should be borne by India, but that a P, b is tion of them should be paid out of the Exchequer efilist country.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it was desirable that they should - be unanimous in the dete rmin ° iila they came to.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WEEDING recommended that the expens es sh° be borne equally between Great Britain and India. y e Mr. SALOMONS consented to insert the aniendnie recommended by the Chairman in his resolution. 0 , 31T. BARNWELL supported the view of the Directo., An Hort. PROPRIETOR thought it of the great tl ot portance that some means should be adopted top r Ato these great and terrible wars in India. It appeare„'„w him, that at present the President of the Board of t'io trol and the Governor-General caused these " " to whenever they pleased, and they had no means prevent it. After a short conversation, t ss ob' Mr. SALOMONS rose to reply. He stated that le 0 . ject in bringing forward this motion bad been O ic ig pletely answered.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. Phelan has refused to comply with their Lordship's order to give a return of the answers which he had re ceived from 93 persons, to whom his letter, marked private, was addressed. He made that refusal with the sanction of the Poor-law Commission ers, from whom he obtained leave to insert in the appendix to the returns made by their Lordships' order, only fourteen letters which happened to be favourable to the views of the Commissioners. The latter gentlemen, assuming to themselves an " autocratic " power—(A laugh, and cries of " Hear " from Lord Glengall)—and defying their Lordships' orders, entered a minute on their books, that " Mr. Phelan. might deposit in their office copies of such letter as he thought he might publish without breach of confidence, and that he might retain the others in his possession until they should be again called for."

SPORTING. No handicap in the year excites the same interest or is:the subject of so deep speculation as the Goodwood Stakes. The Chester Cup, the July Cup, the Leaming ton Stakes, the Cesarewitch, large stakes, are all insig nificant as compared with the great Goodwood Handi cap. I trust the following analysis will not be ma I a propos Comparing the number of acceptances in the last five years, I observe that, in 1837, thirty-nine were left in out of the one hundred and seven named : in 1838, forty out of one hundred and eighteen : in 1839, forty-five out of one hundred and twenty-eight : in 1840, sixty four out of one hundred and twenty-seven : in 1841, forty-nine out of one hundred and fifty-one : and now, fifty out of one hundred and fifty-two. The number of subscribers,. you see, increases annually, and there is no reason why it should not reach two hundred. Surely, the absurdity of not di viding this stake into classes must be appa rent to the veriest dolt. The public complain of the badness of the handicap daily ; why, how is it possible so to weigh such a number of horses as to give them each and every one an equal chance, for so I inter pret the word handicap. Does the man live who can handicap . one hundred and fifty horses so well that tht list he given to me and I cannot strike out one-third tha shall have as much chance as if they were stewed ? You cannot handicap good old horses with bad three-year: olds : I was about to say sixteen stone and a feather would hardly, in some instances, do it ; at all events, with racing weights yen cannot bring them together. It is quite as important that the horses should be classed as that the stake should be divided into classes. I have before- suggessed this alteration ; I can now do no more than leave it in the hands of higher powers, who, I am certain, sooner or later, will see the propriety—aye, the absolute necessity,--of attending to my suggestion. For the Wokingham Handicap at Ascot thirty subscribers are considered sufficient for two classes, and the two races the week before last brought, out fields of fourteen and twelve. Here is a specimen at once of the increase of sport afforded by - this simple method. Nine of the korses named in this great stake were in Scott's stable, out of which two only accept—Knight of the Whistle and Rhodanthe, John Day had eight en tered, and pays forfeit with eve;' one, and Mr. Isaac Day with his four, shows the same aiscontented disposi tion. Ten were named out of the lot traLled by Kent on the spot. Of These Bracelet and Proof int only accept. Ten also were named in Dawson's stabl6 so two (Bellona and Arnagill) only accepting. Thus tit: great stables are in an unusual minority ; so much the better for the small fry. Trenn named tour (Fitzroy, Una, Muley Hamet, and Haitoe), and accepts with all. Osborne leaves in Satirist and Van Amburgh, re serving Sleight-of-Hand for the Cup. Forth had six entered, and accepts with Hyllus, Lucy Banks, and the Golden Rule. Lord Miltown named and accepts with three ; Lord Exeter with two ; Heseltine with three— Squire, Alice Hawthorne, and Millepede ; Cooper had three named, leaving in all but I-am-not-aware, a horse thzt pays forfeit for this race for , the first time in his life. Mr. Shelley accepts with two out of four ; Dilly is a satisfied man, leaving in all three entered. Alto gether, if my calculations be correct, thirty-one different trainers have horses engaged in the Goodwood Stakes. The public think the handicap unusually bad : I cannot agree with them, considering the impossibility of fairly putting together such an immense number of horses, several of which have probably run expressly to get favourably weighted in this very race. Moreover, I hope never to see more than fifty acceptances for any hi;nclicap race in England. t i e following are the Goodwood Cup weights, cor rea;(l Since the :: : t ac i . i s o at Newcastle and Bibury Attila, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b Lanereet aged, i Maritis, 4 yv, 7st 8113 giarks Thelfth, 6 yrs, 931. - :," - n i ail gelding, 4 yrs, 7st 81b Win, 6 thi Pst Plb vrs, Tat 81b kesidfig, aged.
