NICKEL INK ; or JOHNSTONE'S PER MANENT WRITING FLUID, under the patronage of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. W. PEACOCK (by appointment) sole Agent for the above incomparable Fluid, respectfully invites the attention of the commercial public, and the literary and fashionable circles, to some of the paramount properties of the Nickel Ink. It stands unrivalled for its clearness and facility in writing, being free from that gelatinous deposit which clogs and corrodes the metallic pen. As a preventive of fraud in banking and other commercial transactions, it piesents an important gua rantee, as it is indestructible (without. injuring the surface of the papers by any of the chemical agents which destroy the common inks. The colour of the Nickel Ink is a Seheelcs green, but it dries a vivid and permanent black—a striking con trast to the rusty black of other inks and writing fluids. Sold by W.

A TRAGIC ACTRESS.—We find the followino• in a N ew York . paper :—" Miss Clifton has twrsewhipped one or thc—fishionable loungers of Richmond—probably one of these chaps wlio eat soup at the close of dinner to fill up the chinks —and walk through the ladies' drawing-rooms cf the Exchange Hotel with their hats nailed down upon their heads. We wish her Highness would go to Washingtoli, and horsewhip Con gress into some decency." The Sixth Annual Distribution of Prizes in con nexi 7n with this Institution took place yesterday, at the Theatre Royal Drury-lane. The h ouse was crow d e d as it was never crowded beti)re, from pit to shilling gallery; every available space—orchestra, private boxes, and slips—was crammed with well-dressed individuals ; and the whole of the stage was occupied with ladies and gen tlemen of rank and fashion. The theatre was lighted up in the usual style,. and the scene was altogether most pleasing and animated. At twelve o'clock, Mr. GODWIN rose and said—Ladies and Gentlemen, I have received a letter from Colonel Jones, the Aide-de- Camp of his Royal highness th 4 Duke of Cambridge, which I shall have the honour of reading to you. It is as follows : DEAR much regret being the channel of commu nication to you of unpleasant news, but I have the command of the Duke of Ctimbridge to say how extremely sorry his Royal Highness is to be prevented attending the Art Union to morrow, by a severe accident on the knde, which will probably confine him to the house for some days. Under these circumstances, which are very much to be regretted, I beg to move that Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., F. 8.5., take the Chair.—(llear, hear.) Mr. CAnitum, was then unanimously voted to the Chair, amidst loud cheers, and spoke as follows:—La dies and Gentlemen, I have to thank you for the compli ment paid me in calling me to fill this situation ; and at the same time to express my deep regret at the absence of his Royal Highness. As we are limited in time to day, being obliged to leave the house by four o'clock; hope you will allow the proceedings to go on without any unnecessary delay ; I therefore call on Mr. Godwin to read the Report. Mr. GOD WIN, F.R.S., F.S.A„ the Honorary Secretary, then read the following " REPORT. " For the sixth time your Committee have the gratifica tion to meet you %vita a most satisfactOry statement of the in crease of the Society, both in means and influence. An in crease, indeed, which exceeds their most sanguine anticipa tions, and is almost unexampled in the history of artistical associations. " In the last Report made to the Subscribers the progress of the Society was traced from the first year of its establish ment, when the amount collected was 489/. 65., to the close of the year 1841, when your Committee congratulated the members on having attained a subscription of 5,562/. 18s., an amount which some considered would net be exceeded in tu tore years. On the present occasion, however, they have the pleasure to state that the number of members is 11,919, of whom—one subscribes 10 guineas, one 7 guineas, thirty-three 5 guineas, four 4 guineas, fifteen 3 guineas, one hundred and eighty-three 2 guineas, and eleven thousand six hundred and eighty-two 1 guinea each, making a total of 12,9051. I Is. When it is remembered that the greater part of this large sum, to be applied in promotion of British Art, could not have been so appropria' ed but for the means afforded by this Association ; that nearly twelve thousand persons in this one year are led by it necessarily to think more of the Arts, be it much or little, than would otherwise be the case ; and further, that by its ope rations, a copy of a fine effort of mind, by one of the most ac complished artists of our period, now unfortunately no more, will be hung upon the walls of every one of the Subscribers, silently to exalt human nature, the advantages of the plan, and the good (good in the highest sense of the word) which ought to result from it to the whole British nation, become at once strikingly apparent. " To centemplate advantages arising to the whole nation from this Association may scent to some at first sight extra vagant. Surely, however, it is not so. Man affects man. The elevation of one mind entails involuntarily the elevation of thousands; and what in the first instance is special, becomes at last universal. As has been justly remarked, it is hardly pus. sible to doubt that the distant inhabitants of the Frigid Zone have been benefited by the writings of Shakspere, or the paint ings of Raffaelle, although they may neither have read the one nor studied the other. " With regard to the possibility of failing to produce this good, or of abusing the powerful means at the disposal of the Association, your Committee will venture to speak hereafter. " Pursuing the statistical details of the Society's operations, they have to report that one hundred and thirty-two pictures, and one piece of sculpture, were purchased by th e prizeholders of the year 1841, at the cost of 4,3301. 195., being 6801. 19s. more than the total amount of prizes. A list of these works of art was printed at the end of the last Report, so that it is not necessary to introduce it here. They were exhibited four weeks, by the kind permission of the Society of British Artists, in the Suffolk-street Gallery, together with the various en gravings issued by the Art-Union. For the first three weeks the members and their friends were admitted by tickets, and for seven days afterwards the public were invited by advertise. ments to visit the gallery. " It was estimated that during these four weeks, no less than 75,000 persons viefed the collection, and it is a grati fying circumstance to record that, notwithstanding the pressure occasioned by the crowded state of the rooms, not one accident occurred. During the Exhibition a large number of cata logues were sold, by which means a considerable sum of money was realised. With this amount, derived for the most part from visitors, your Committee propose to commence the forma tion of a Reserved Fund,' to be increased hereafter by the addition of all monies accruing to the Society, other than the actual subscriptions of the current year. By this means the future stability of the Art-Union will be rendered more certain, the trustees secured with regard to prospective engagements with engravers and others, which it may be desirable to make, and a fund will be provided, where from Art in the abstract may ultimately be aided, without any sacrifice of the Subscribers' pecuniary interests. " In the month of December last, prints of Mr. Charles Landseer's picture—' The Tired Huntsman,' ably engraved in the line manner, by Mr. H. C. Shenton, were distributed, through the kind assistance of Messrs. P. and D. Colnaghi, to the subscribers of the year 1840. Proof impressions were pre sentedto her Majestrthe Queen, and to his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, who were graciously pleased to accept the same, and to express very satisfactory opinions. " For the subscribers of 1841,111 r. W. Chevalier is now en graving Mr. J. P. Knight's picture, ' The Saint's Day.' The engraver had engaged that the plate should be ready for printing from in March last. Circumstances, however, have occurred to delay it, and it will, therefore, not be published quite so early as was hoped for. Your Committee feel satisfied the subscribers will agree with them in thinking it less objec tionable to wait for excellence, than by any undue haste to risk the goodness of the work. " Formerly, the number of impressions required in order to present to each subscriber a copy of the print, would have thrown great difficulty in the way of the Society's operations. Lately, however, Science, in return for the many benefits de rived by her Illustrative Art, has come in powerfully to the aid of her ally, and your Committee hope, by means of the Electrotype process, to be able to present to every Member a perfect impression of the various prints which may be issued by the Society. " For the Subscribers of the present year Hilton's picture, Una enferinss the Cottage,' has been placed in the hands of Mr. W. H. Watt, to be engraved in line. " The readers of Spenser being comparatively few, it may he desirable to refer briefly • to the passage in the Fairie Queene illustrated in this picture. Una (by whim the 1 oct intends to represent Truth), while wandering through the woods, depressed by misfortunes, is attacked by a lion. With a perception of her innocence, however, he kisses her feet, and becomes her attendant ;to exemplify how simple truth subdues avenging wrong.' Meeting a damsel, Una endeavours to learn where she may obtain shelter; but being unable to overtake her, follows the girl to the cottage of her blind mother, represented by the poet as praying day and night ' upon her ,beads devoutly penitent.' Here - the door is at once shut upon her, but Una 's ' unruly page' with Ws claws rends the wicket, and it is this moment of the action that the painter has , chosen to represent. How he has eitecuted the task is well known ; suffice it now to say the picture is most honourable to the Britislr school of painting. and that your Committee owe their warm thanks to Richard Ellison; Esq., the owner of • the painting, and to the executors of the lamented artist, for permitting them to render homage to his memory, by engraving it for distribution amongst the mem bers. Hiltons fame, it may be safely predicted, will with increase of ages grew, As streams roll down, enlarging as they flow.' " The plate is already in an advanced state, and will probably be fit fur the printer by Christmas next. A redticed etching of the picture has been kindly presented by Mr. Watt, and will illustrate this Report when printed for the Subscribers. " Relative to engravings for future years, your Committee have the pleasure to state that by the kindness of the respective owners and artists, Sir Augustus Calcott's picture, ' Raffaelle and the Fornarina,' bel ong ing to Sir George Philips; and Mr. Mulready's picture, ."f he Convalescent,' the property of Lord Northwick, will be engraved for the Society. For the imme diate execution of the former of these, arran gements h ave b een entered into with Mr. undertaken L. Stocks, who has to com plete the plate within about eighteen months from the present. time. Your Committee have it in intention to make still further provision on this bead, in order to ensure, so far as may be practicable, the delivery of an engraving annually to the subscribers. " The Engraving Account for 1841 is not yet cl ose d, and is, therefore, omitted for the present. " Reference has been made to the Illustration of the Report. Your Committee, wishing to obtain an appropriate device, a premium of th Off e t m e •h n e g r e u s i v n i t e h a s t o fo h r e a a d d t e h s e i g n S o i c i i i e o ty u ' t s i i p n a e p e f o r s r , esr a e rn d e• More than one hundred drawings were submitted, and from those your Committee selected one, which was found to be by Mr. F. R. Pickersgill. The subject of it is Minerva encouraging the Sister Arts.' " There were, amongst the drawings several other very ex cellent designs, and your Committee, desirous of rendering the Annual Report interesting to the subscribers generally, and so inducing its preservation as a record of the Society's operations, as well as to aid, although slightly, the art of wood engraving —selected two other dev►ces, which, by the kind liberality of the authors of them, they are enabled to engrave for its adornment. " The first (without reference to the order of •merit) is by Mr. Bonomi, and is described as " Minerva replenishing the Lamp of the Genius of Art." The second is by Mr. Selous, and represents " Genius nurtured in the lap of the Society." The three are engraved respectively by Mr. Thompson, Mr. Orrin Smith, and Mr. Jackson. " To the other artists who kindly responded to the adver tisement, the Committee on your part return their thanks. " To continue the grateful duty of acknowledging favours received, your Committee beg leave to tender their warmept thanks to the various gentlemen who have acted as provincial honorary secretaries, or as. agents for the Society. Their number now amounts to 181, and it is hoped the list will soon be still further increased. " A series of Regulations for the appointment of Local Se cretaries, and for their after-guidance, has been drawn up, and may be obtained on application at the office. " For the due execution of the Society's business, which, as must be apparent to all, has now become of great magnitude, your Committee found it necessary to increase the number of clerks, and to obtain more commodious premises than those for merly occupied. " Chambers in Trafalgar-square, Charing-cross (No. 4), have been accordingly engaged, and there, for the future, the affairs of the Association will be conducted. The central position of Trafalgar-square, and its proximity to the Royal Academy and I "At the close of last year, your Committee, observing the great extension of the Society, and feeling the heavy respon sibility of its proper conduct, appointed a Sub-Committee to consider its future prospects, and the most efficient mode of working its enlarged means. This Sub-Committee devoted much time to the investigation, and ultimately brought up an elaborate Report on the subject. This, as it was extensively reprinted by the periodical press, and is probably known to the majority of the Subscribers, your Committee do not think it necessary to publish now. Two of the recommendations con tained in it, however, it is proposed to adopt, and to these, therefore, they beg leave to direct your attention. " The first, quoting the words of the Report, is as follows Your Sub-Committee are unanimously of opinion, if a re duced model wore to be made of some celebrated group or piece of sculpture, to a size fitted for a drawing-room table; and if ten or twenty casts were to be made in bronze, and annually to form a portion of the prizes, it would meet the general approval of the Subscribers. This might be done at a moderate expense. A fine work of art, of a convenient size, would result, and might be a very efficient instrument in diffusing a taste and love for art in many a family circle.' For the execution of this, in the most perfect style, the Committee have set apart a very considerable sum of money. " An appropriate subject will be selected, and twenty casts of it will be made to form prizes for the present distribution. The casts, it may be expected, will be ready for presentation to their owners with the other works of art, which will be selected from the various Exhibitions of the current year. " The second recommendation is to this effect---' We also consider that the Art- Union should assist in the encourage ment of Medal-die Engraving; and we conceive no means better calculates' to do this than by commencing a Medalic Series of the History of British Art. One Hundred ounds per annum would ensure the execution of the dies of one medal annually, to be of uniform size, to contain on it the head of some distinguished British artist, with an appropriate reverse, taken from one of his works, where prac ticable. " Thus should we at ewes give some scope to the genius of our countrymen in this important branch, render a just tri bute to our departed artists, and best illustrate the • History of British Art.' " Anxious to carry out this suggestion in the first style of art, your Committee called to their assistance Mr. William Wyon. R. A., and they are happy to be able to state that that gentleman at once entered warmly into the views of the So ciety, and, prompted only by a desire to forward its interest, undertook to commence the series. The late Sir Francis Chan trey, who, 131 his munificent bequests for the encouragement of art in England has entitled his memory to our greatest respect, is selected for the subject of the medal. It will not form part of the present year's proceedings, and the mode of distributing the impressions, whether as prizes or otherwise, will be a matter for future consideration. " The receipts for the current year amount to 12,905/. 11s., and the disbursements to 10,572/. 9s. 10d. . .. " The amount set apart, according to the foregoing state , ment, for the purchase of pictures, statuary, or other works of art, viz. 8,9001. will be allotted as follows : 60 works of art, the value of £lO each 15 „ 880 40 ~ 44 11 30 70 PP 20 14 Pf 10 tv ft ff 68 IP PI 6 9 9 780 I t, f, 1 /1 97 9.0 -„ 30 ~ 40 ~ 50 ~ 60 It •• . 600 70 ~ 80 ~ ... 4BO , 0 10 0 1, 71 150 3t 600 450 400 200 „ 300 ...... ........ ... 400 271 £8,900 " To these must be added twenty bronzes before-mentioned, making 291 works of fine art; in addition to which, ten casts, in plaster, of the marble figure of a Magdalen,' purchased by a prizeholder of last year, will be distributed. " 'f he mode of distribution will be that which was adopted on the last occasion, and therefore. hardly needs explanation here. " With regard to the larger prizes, it has been strongly urged from various quarters, that the Committee should reserve to themselves the right of confirming, or otherwise, the prize holder's choice, in order to prevent the possibility of any fla grant misappropriation of the funds. Unwilling, however, to interfere with the prize-holder's right of choice, your Com mittee are not disposed to alter the present regulations, but desire to impress strongly on those who obtain prizes, the neces sity of using the utmost care and judgement in their selection; to the end that the great object of the Association, namely, the advancement of the Fine Arts, and the elevation of the general taste, may be satisfactorily attained. " To appreciate the highest efforts of art, education and study are necessary. The power to enjoy these, and the ma nifold delights this power brings with it, will not come by in spiration, but must be sought for diligently. All can compre hend the merit of a faithful imitation of a familiar object ; most persons can value representations of special and individual nature, so to speak. These, however, useful and delightful as they may be, are not the works which elevate the beholder, and immortalize the artist : it is universal and general nature which genius grasps and delineates—which exists everywhere in part, nowhere as a whole; which, when represented, is called the ideal, but is, in reality,nature, freed from the disfigurement of accidents and circumstances, viewed at large, and from on high Power to enjoy such works (almost equally as to produce them), must be gained slowly and with effort; rich and ample, how ever, will be the reward of the endeavour, and most sedulously should it be made. Let those who mistrust their present power of judging, should they to-day gain the right of selecting prizes, take prudent counsel, and let those works of art be sought for which speak to the mind rather than to the eye. Cei tain it is, that only by pursuing such a course may great good be expected to result from the Association. " For the two chief prizes your Committee would strongly recommend subjects from the Bible, from some incident in British history, or from some English author, animated by a desire, next to that of illustrating the Holy Scriptures, ' to en list British art more immediately in the service of British his tory and British literature.' ‘-‘ Sculpture, they trust, will not be disregarded by the prize holdets ; so that the younger professors of this elevated art, encouraged by the prospect of that aid from the public which, as yet, has not been given to them in England, may be induced to labour strenuously to advance themselves in their art. " To the artists of the United Kingdom generally, your Committee, in concluding their Report, would point out the present scheme of prizes as an index, in part, of what the Art-Union of London may expect to require next year, and they venture to express a hope that efforts will be made to produce, not merely pictures for the wants of to-day, but works for posterity. Simply a pecuniary return for his labour and ability, cannot be the aim of a true artist, of one proud to say, 61, too, am a painter.' To induce new ideas and images—to uphold and inculcate the beautiful—to influence the growing mind of a country—to enlarge and elevate the enjoy ments of a world—these are the motives which lead to fame, and may end in immortality. Let then our young artists, in applying to the task so prompted, address themselves to the mind, and satisfied now that their endeavours will not pass un rewarded, find their chief delight in the pro.luction of truth and beauty, and know no higher reward than the exercise of their art. Every step forward will be a source of increased ratifi cation, and every fresh triumph will make succeeding triumphs more easy. " GEO. GODWIN, Jun. } Hon. Secs."- LEWIS POCOCK, - - Mr. HUGHES ikonEs, M.P., then rose, and briefly recommending the attention of those who should be suc cessful in obtaining prizes to the suggestions contained in the Report, concluded by moving that the Report now read be received and adopted. Mr.WHIE seconded the resolution; which was put from the Chair and carried unanimously. Mr. C. HALL, in a tone whin was quite inaudible, even on the stage, moved that the thanks of the meet ing be given to the Committee for their zeal and atten tion durinr , the past year, and that they be requested to continue their services for the ensuing year. This motion was seconded, an d carried nem. con. Mr. G ODWIN—We will now proceed to the distribu tion of the prizes. --(Loud cheers.) Mr. Kirby and Mr. Wishaw, were then appointed scrutineers, and two young ladies, named Eger ton and Dowce, were appointed to draw the prizes. The distribution of the prizes, 271 in number was then proceeded with in the following manner:—, Two wheels were erected in front) f; ne stage : one of these contained 271 buttons, 13 of which contained the name of one subscriber and., number upon it ; the other contained 271 prizes. A button having been drawn from one wheel, the name Of the subscriber was then read aloud. A ticket was then drawn from the other wheel containing the amount of prize correspond• ing to the number just drawn. The following is a list of the most fortunate sub scribers :—William Wycherly Brooks, 4001.; Alexander Cross, 300/. ; William Watson, 2001. ; Richard Steive, 2001. ; RiChardLQuinccy, 1501. ; M. S.

At the conclusion of the distribution, a vote of thanks was passed to the scrutineers and the young ladies who had assisted in the drawing. Mr. Gonwng then proposed that the warm thanks of the Art-Union of London be tendered to William Charles Macready, Esq., for the kind readiness and liberality with which he granted the use of Drury-lane Theatre this day. Standing, as he did, on the boards of Drury, which had witnessed so many of his triumphs, he should wish, if time would allow, to expatiate on the merits of Mr. Macready, who could not but be ranked as an artist of the first order. As time pressed however, he could not say another word. The resolution was received with the most vociferous cheering, and having been seconded, was, of course, car ried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said, our labours are now concluded, and I have to thank you for your attendance, and, with your approbation, this entertainment will be repeated every year until further notice.—(Loud cheers.) The Chairman then left his seat, and a vote of thank 3 having been unanimously passsed to him, and the honour briefly acknowledged, the vast assemblage began to dis perse, it being a quarter past Three o'Clock. • A letter from Boulogne, in the Gazette dt. Flandre, states that an English medical man, named O'Reilly, residing in that town s has abjuredthe Protestant religion, and become a Roman Catholic. The Cardinal Bishop of Arras administered the sacrament of baptism to him in public, and received his profession of faith. A man of the name of PeeterA, of Granshoren in Belgium, was last week visiting a brewery with one of the men, when the latter, wishing to show his strength, held his visitor over the vat, and, unfortunately, let him fall into the boiling liquid. The other workmen with some difficulty got him out, but so dreadfully scalded, that no hopes were entertained of his recovery.. THE TARIFF. The Earl of gave notice that .on Friday he would present a petition, sinned 'by 5;000 fruit-growers and occupiers of land in the eastern part of the county of Kent, against the reduction of the duty on foreign fruit, and coMplaining.of other parts of the tariff.

EASTIIOPE presented a petition from an in dividual, praying to be heard against the Croydon Rail w•ay Bill. SOUTHWARK IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. R. PALMER moved the adjourned debate on the Southwark Improvement Bill. Mr. LAMBTON differed from the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Oxford, when he stated that this was not the proper time to discuss the present ques tion. The Bill proposed completely to alter the law with respect to compensation on Church leases, and it was certain, if some such clause was not introduced as that proposed by the Hon. Member for Berkshire, the present Bill would be productive of the worst consequences: He contended, there fore, that the present moment was most op portune for discussing the question. Upon all the discussions that had taken place, the principle of compensation had been decided upon. The highest autheritiesiof the law were in favour of the principle. It had been discussed in the debate on the Farnham Rec tory Bill, and this very Bill itself had even passed the House, but had not been discussed in the House of Lords at the dissolution. The common sense and common justice view of the case was this:—They came on parties by a private Bill, and compelled them to sell their Church leasehold property. and the holders justly said, " If you compel us to sell, you should give us compensation." The Honourable Member cited several law authorities which bore out his View of the question. He concluded by moving, as an amendment, the addition of a clause providing for full compensation to the holders of Church leases, according to their marketable value. The SPEAKER said that he could not put the clause now proposed until after the second reading of the clause already under discussion. Captain FIT ZROY had been one of those who in the Committee opposed the insertion of what was called the compensation clause; for in the jury clause provision was made for equitable compensation for all those whose property would be interfered with by the improvements. Of course the juries, composed of honest men, would take into consideration the chances of renewal of the leases, by which the value of this kind of property was very much affected. When there was an understanding that the lease would be renewed, of course it would have a much higher value in the market, than if it were supposed that the Bishop did not intend to renew. The jury would take these circumstances into consi deration and give them their full weight. Mr. TIIESIGER understood from his Gallant Friend (Captain Fitzroy) that it was the intention of the Committee to give the holders of such property the full value of their leases : he could not see, therefore what objection the Committee could have to the in sertion of clause, which only went to provide, that they should have a compensation of the real value. Me (Mr. Thesiger) voted fur the clause, because the parties whom the Bill affected could not obtain justice without the insertion of the clause. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET would prefer the clause suggested by the Hon. Member for Durham to the clause before the House, and he thought the ques tion was whether that clause could be adopted instead of the other. The SPEAKER said the Honourable Member who had suggested the clause referred to by the Noble Lord not having given notice ofit, it could not be received, but if they passed the clause now before the House it might be so amended as to make it in effect the same as the clause proposed. If that clause were not adopted, the clause could, by notice being given, be brought forward at another period. Sir R. 11. INGLIS said that they were not content with leaving the parties to the existing law, but they were giving them a right which the law never contem plated ; and they were forming a precedent which would be brought down as the establishment of a principle in reference to a great amount of property in this country. If the parties had a right, the law would give them a. remedy ; if they had not, why should the House now give them a right above the law ? He hoped now that the House was pretty full that the question would be de cided, and that they would not adopt the suggestion of postponing the further consideration of the Bill. If the House would comply with its usual custom of not insert.- ing clauses into private Bills, taking them so far out of the hands of the promoters, he believed the Bill would be all but unanimously adopted. Sir T. WILI)E said the Hon. Baronet had mistaken the real question. Nothing was asked for above the law. All that was asked for was, that the possessors of Church leases might be left as they were. Now, the possessor of a Church lease coming into the market with it would get a sum of money for it beyond the value of the present term, 'on the expectation of a renewal of the term, an expectation that had never been disappointed. This ad ditional value arising from such a probability the House was now asked to take away. If the House were deter mined to promote public improvements, they should take care that in doing so they did not take away people's property, giving them by way of compensation, much less than they would get for it in the market. Lord J. MANNERS opposed the clause. Mr. R. PALMER said that the House would only be doing an act of justice by consenting to the clause. He (lid not think there was any precedent for the present Bill. We understood the Hon. Gentleman to oppose the clause. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was with great reluctance he felt bound on this occasion to differ from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Oxford. The only object of the Bill was to give those whose pro perty was taken away the full market value. Ile was not, however, disposed to vote for the clause which was printed with the Votes. With regard to the clause prepared by the Honourable Gen tleman, the Member for Durham, with the substantial part of that clause he agreed. It was competent for his lion. Friend, the Member for Berkshire, to withdraw the clause, and adjourn the third reading of the Bill, and then, in proposing the third reading, he might bring up a clause embodying the clause of the lion. Member for Durham. Mr. PALMER consented to withdraw the clause upon the suggestion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The clause was then withdrawn, and the further pro ceedings upon the Bill postponed to that day week. BLACK WALL RAILWAY. Mr. STUART WORTLEY brought in the London and Blackwall Railway Improvement Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time. LICHFIELD ELECTION. Mr. DIVETT wished to call the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Go vernment to the provisions of the Controverted Elec tions Bill; for the purpose of ascertaining the opinion of the House and that of the Right Hon. Baronet as to the course that should be pursued under the circum stances which had taken place. A question had arisen in the Election Committee of which he was the Chairman, as to the attendance of witnesses who were in prison. A question had arisen before the Committee whether it was competent to the Chairman to direct the attendance of those witnesses ; a consultation had taken place among the Committee ; some of the Members of which thought that it was competent to the Chairman to do so under the 74th section. He would now move that the Speaker do issue his war rant to the keepers of those gaols respectively, command ing them to bring up the said witnesses before the Committee. He (Mr. 1).) thought that the 74th clause of the Election Committee's Act would justify him, as Chairman of the Conimittees in issuing a summons to each of those keepers to the same effect, but as there was some doubt on the point, he had resorted to the present motion. At the same time, he would ask the Bight Honourable Baronet at the head of the Government, whether the Committee had the power to issue such a summons under the 74th clause of the Act ? Sir ROBERT PEEL had great diffidence in answer ing the question, without some consideration before hand. The best opinion he could now giVe was, that the Hon. Gentleman had taken the proper course in asking for the interference of the Speaker. Committees, it was true, had the power of committing witnesses to the custody of the Ser geant-at-Arms, but the Act had overlooked the Kobability of the wanting to get . witnesses out of , prison. He believed similar difficulties luM already occurred to Committees, and they applied to the;. , :peaker of the House to issue his warrant to bring up The re quired witnesses out of custody. On these grounds, he (Sir R. Peel) tliought the Hon. Member for Exeter was now taking the proper course. After a few words from Mr. C. WOOD, Mr. ROEBUCK said it seemed an important point to ascertain whether the House could interfere with persons in custody under process from the Queen, and bring them up without a luzbeas corpus. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the question was how they • could compel the appearance of persons now in custody ; he believed that the summons of the Chairman would be of no effect, but he appre hended that an order of the HouSe would compel their appearance. The order would be addressed to the gaoler, who would be bound to bring them up according to it, and would be liable to punishment for a contempt of that House if he did •not. The gaoler also would be examined, as his evidence - would be material. The motion that the Speaker do issue his order was then agreed' to. „ • SAUNDERSFOOT RAILWAY. On the motion for the further consideration of the Report of this Bill, Mr. GREENE rose with the view of obtaining the opinion of the House whether it be not inexpedient to allow the introduction •of similar provisions into Rail way Bills, to call the attention of the house to the clauses relating to taking temporary possession of land durit ' s • the. construction of the Railway, and especially to the following clause (96) And be it enacted, That.' subject to the pro visions herein contained, it shall be lawful fin. the Com pany at any time befol-e the expiration of the period by this Actlimited'for' the completion of the railway, with out making any previous payment,' tender, or deposit, to enter upon and use any existing private roads nut being more titan live hninked'yards distant from the centre of .the railway, and also to enter upon any lands not being more than two hundred and fifty yards distant from the centre of the railway,and not being a garden, orchard,parks • plantation, planted walk, avenue, or g round planted and set apart as a nursery for trees, and not being nearer than five hundred yards to the mansion house of the owner of any such lands, and to occupy the said lands during the construction or repair of the railway, and to use the same for any of the following purposes (that is to say), for the purpose of taking earth or soil, by, s i c k ; cuttings therefrom; for the purposeOf obtaining mat er i a l s therefrom for the formation of the railway ; or for the purpose of forming roads thereon to or from the railway. And, in exercise of the powers aforesaid, it shall be law- . till for the Company to deposit, and also to manufacture and work upon such lands materials of every kind toed in constructing the railway ; and also to dig and take from out of any such lands, any clay, stone, gravel, sand, or other things that may be found therein useful or pro per for constructing the railway, or any such roads as aforesaid. He proposed to have the Words " two hundred and fifty" struck out of the clause, and to insert instead the words " one hundred." After a few words from Mr. LABOUCHERE sug gesting (as we understood) that the question• should be postponed for the present.—The amendment was with drawn. The Report was then received, and the Bill was or dered to be engrossed. REFUSAL OF A MEMBER TO GIVE EVI DENCE BEFORE A COMMITTEE. Mr. IZEDINGTON appeared at the bar, and ,said that he was directed by the Southampton Committee to inform the house that John Fleming, Esq., a Member of the House, refused to answer a question put to him by the Committee, on the ground that it would be a betrayal of confidence improper on his part, and de grading to him as a gentleman, and although the Com mittee insisted upon receiving an answer he persisted in his refusal.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) On the question that the Report be brought up being carried. Mr. REDINGTON laid the Report on the table, and said that the Committee had done in this case what the Act required, but they had not authority to deal ►►ith it as with that which they yesterday brought before the House.—(Hear, hear.) They could not: order a Member of the House to be committed; and he had now to ask the House to interpose, and that, as they had yesterday compelled a witness to answer they would not now allow any other to refuse.—(Cries of " Move, more.") He then moved that John Fleming, Esq., a Member of that House, be required to appear before the Southampton Election Committee, and answer such questions as ►►ere put to him by that Committee. The SPEAKER made some suggestion to the lion. Member, who ultimately moved that John Fleming, Esq., a Member of that House, be asked by the Speaker whether he persists in refusing to give evidence. The question was put in that form, and was carried by a large majority of "Ayes " to two " Noes," the latter causing great laughter. The SPEAKER—Is the Hon. Member in his place ? Mr FLEMING—Yes. The lion. Member was about to answer the question, when— The SPEAKER said that he would put the question formally. The SI'EAKER then put the question.—Do you still persist in refusing to answer before the Committee ? Mr. FLEMINb—In answer to that question, I feel, as a man of honour and as a gentleman, that I cannot an swer.—(Loud cheers.) The SPEAKER—The Hon. Gentleman haviug an swered the question, will feel it his duty to withdraw. Mr. FLEMING—May I not be allowed to explain ? The SPEAKER—If the Hon.- Member has anything to offer in explanation he may do so. Mr. FLEMING then said, that it was extremely painful to him to have it thought that he could do any action which would render it necessary that he should be reported to the house. It Was nect'ssan; for him to state that in the conduct which w as complained of he did not intend any disrespect to the Chairman or Members of the Com mittee.—(Cries of Hear, hear.) With respect to the question put to him, if he could be . so unworthy as to solicit subscriptions to carry on those corrupt acts im puted by -the petitioners before the Committee, he should not attempt to refuse an answer. But the position in which he stood was this :—After the termi nation of the Southampton election, he went with his family to Ireland, and on h s re turn he heard from his friends in Southampton that they were endeavouring to defray the legal expenses of the agents who conducted the election.—(Hear, hear. and laughter.) He begged to assure Honourable Members that such was the fact. The object for which funds were required, being strictly legitimate, he did, under the circumstances, say that he would repre sent the case to many of his private and intimate friends, and he received subscriptions from them, which he paid into the bank on account of the election. That was six weeks after the election had taken place, so that it could not be for the purpose of corruption. (Hear, hear.) He felt that he was not doing anything wrong in endeavouring to get his friends to assist ltint for the purpose he had stated.—(llear, hear.) Ile was satisfied that the question was put from `mo tives of curiosity, in order that they might have several honourable names to peck at. Under these circumstances he would put it to the House whether Hon. Members were to betray the confidence reposed in them by their friends, when that betrayal would answer no beneficial end ? He thought if he was to pursue such, a course he should not be worthy of a seat in that House. He would not say more, but would retire from the House. (The lion. Member left the House amid loud cheers from the Ministerial side.) _ Mr. REDINGToN trusted that, as Chairman of the Southampton Election Committee, the House would do him the justice to think that, in the course he had pursued, he was only doing that which he considered to be his ditty.—(Hear, hear.) He had no personal fieling against the Honourable Member, and all that he had done he considered he was bound to do in the discharge of his duty. He could not go into the matter which arose before the Com mittee, but he might state that a question was put by counsel to the Honourable Member, which he refused to answer. The Committee then consulted as to whether the Honourable Member was holm(' to an swer the question, and they determined that he was. Such being the case, he had now to ask the House, as they last night decided that Election Com mittees were the parties to judge whether a -witnes s should answer a question, to pursue the sa me course now. He could not move that the Honourable Gentleman should be called to the bar, but he believed the proper course would be for the Speaker to ask the Honourable Member in his place if he still persevered in refusing to answer the question, and if he did, that he should ho informed by the Speaker that he was bound to answer it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, there could be no doubt that whatever the private opinion of the Honourable . Member might be with regard to the obligations of honour and confidence in pri vate, that all those considerations vanished for the demand of justice, if the individual was called on to give evidence. This principle was placed on so firm a basis, that. he need scarcely dwell on it ; but he would juct men ti on th e ease o f Lord Langton, who was called on, in the trial of the Duchess of Kingston, to state if he had ever learned whether or not she, was ever married to Mr. Harvey. He had at first refitted to answer the question, on the ground that in doing so he should violate the honourable confidence of the private intercourse of society. The House of Lords adjourned and consulted,- and decided that he must answer the question. He therefore prepared the best answer he could from the conversation which had taken place twenty years previously. He had no drnrbt that the Committ ee wa s par question if th e y th oug ht rilgvillitatienverputht:nag the it matcr!al, and the witness was bound to answer the question so put. Every person, whether a Member of the House or not, appeared bef ore th e C omm ittee as before a Court of Justice, and if that Committee had the power to commit a witness, it had also the power of report ing a refusal to answer a question to the House. Be (the Attorney-General) then cited several clauses of the Act 'bearin7, on the point, and proceeded to say be thought the Committee had exerc i se a sound discretion, and had acted with every respect to that House in not having committed a Member of it to custody. But Igen tbe Hon. Member was apprised of the opinion of • the House, and what must he the opinion of every legal authority, that because, under : 4 ' legni obligation to an ,z,wea h e wou ld ta k e a different ►hey of the circumstances, g if iv a e answer, it reremain‘v gtrestiou put to a itlless' avid he ref use d t o to be seen to what extent he would be justified in that refusal. It, was not because a Learned Counsel had put a question that the Committee were bound to enforce it—O.lear.) H e wa s sure that the manner in which the Committee had acted would induce the House to repose confi dence in their decision, even if they had not the au thority of the law on their side. But the question was one solely of discretion ; the House could repose confidence in a discretion which had been so soundly exercised.
