Mr. Rowland put in some corrections of his evidence on Wednesday, which were admitted. Mr. Bloomfield, one of the witnesses, complained to the Chairman, for himself and others, of the allowance they had received for their expenses. Some parties, he said, had been allowed double and treble what had been received by others, and been paid at a rate far exceeding what they were entitled to from their rank and station in life. One person, who was a master lithographic printer, and who was obliged by his absence to leave all his presses idle, only had seven shillings a-day, while a common porter, who called himself a commission agent, received a guinea a-day. He was himself a brazier and tinman, in extensive business, and he received fifteen shillings a-day. They were paid 41. 10s. for their ex penses in coming up from Belfast, and he could prove that they exceeded that sum. Mr. COPPOCK, the agent for the inquiry, said the witnesses were paid by a scale, according to the occupa tions and stations in life they gave themselves. The al lowance in no case exceeded a guinea a day, nothing was ever given for loss of time, nor anything allowed but the actual out-of-pocket expenses. Mr. Bloomfield had received the allowance of a shopkeeper. It appeared that one witness, who was a . bricklayer, by styling himself an " architect," got a guinea a day ; others had received proportionably less than they con ceived themselves entitled to. The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible the Committee could alter the scale fixed by the Treasury. The room was then cicarjd for the Conimittee to con sider its decision. The room remained closed till four o!clock, and on its bring announced that the Speaker was at prayers, Alr. Shaw left to apply for leave from the Speaker to remain sitting. SOUTHAMPTON. The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the ion. J. S. WORTLEY in the Chair. William Andrews, a tailor and barrowman of South ampton, was called, but the witness appeared reluctant to answer any questions, and those which he did answer were of no importance. Mr. BAKER said that he had a person called Johnson, who specially attended the witness from Southampton. The witness told him he saw Mr. Wyatt, the town-crier, before he left Southampton, and that he had an uncle, Crouchcr, in London, whom he must see.—(Laughter.) They called at Mr. Crouch's office in.Brydges-street, and one of his clerks came out with them, and the three, Johnson, witness, and the clerk, went together to a pub lic-house in Hungerford-market, where they had some beer. After some time the clerk left and came back with a cab, into which he and the witness went, and from that time to the present he (Mr. Baker) did not know where he was. The CHAIRMAN said they had reason to suspect, from the absence of Luce, and from other circumstances, that this was rot the only case in which witnesses were tam pered with, and if Mr. Baker could prove what he had stated, the Committee would feel called upon to put a stop to such conduct. He could not but say that such conduct must east strong suspicion on the defence, and wheeler was at the bottom of it, it was not likely to benefit their cause. He certainly would not give any order for expenses, where such a mode of conduct was proceeded with. Mr. HEARN said that, with regard to the absence of Luce, be received a letter, stating that he (Mr. Luce) had long since made arrangements to go to France. Mr. BASER said he bad a document, which he would lay before the Committee in a short time, to show that Lace was in England two days ago. Mr. HEARN said he should be very glad to know where Luce was. Sir J. HANDIER said this subject was one which the Committee ought to sift to the bottom. William Wing, a licensed hawker, was called—He got two summonses to appear before the Committe. He had not money to come when he received the first sum mons. He got money at the last election. He got 201. on the nomination day from Mr. Mackay. Had not made any arrangements with Mr. Mackay relative to the 201. Never spoke to Mr. Mackay before. He got the money for the purpose of paying persons to keep the town in order, and to have a good show of hands. A person whom he did not know spoke to him to employ the, men, and desired him to go to Mr. Mackay who would pay him. He employed about 100 men. lie also employed men for the chairing. He got 2CI. from Mitekay to give them some beer. He employed more than 100. The CHAIRMAN—You were desired by a person you did nut know to employ so many men, and you %ent to Mr. Mackay, whom you did not know, and received money from him without asking any questions. Do you think the Committee wili believe that ? Witness-1 hat is the truth. Robert Donkin, a tailor, residing in Southampton, was called and examined—ls a voter of Southampton. Voted for Lord Bruce and Mr. Alartyn. Mr. Mackay gave him four 5/ notes on the day of polling. It was not to bribe him, but to get the money changed. He returned twenty sovereigns to Mr. Mackay. Did not shake any money in the presence of any voter. Mr. Cheeseman changed the notes. Might have asked Mr. Locke, the brewer, for the change. Mr. Locke did not say he would not change the notes because he (witness) could not have got them honestly. . . - John Watson was next called and examined—ls a coachmaker in Southampton. Is Deputy- Postmaster. Received a printed letter not to interfere in the election. He ordered a dinner at Ballinger's for 100 per sons. The price was finer shillings a head, ex clusive of drink. There were five or six other dinners in other places. Ballinger's bill was 44/. 17s. He paid for the dinner out of the Conservative Con vivial Association funds. He made a fly for Ballinger for which he gave a bill for 60/. at a month's date. In a short time Ballinger called his creditors together to com pound with them. When witness got the money from the Conservative Society, he placed it at the back of the bill due to him from Ballinger. Does not know the per son who gave him the money. He got it through the Committee. Mr. Scobell was the treasurer. He found the money on the table. There was no person present. He got the money from the Committee. Reg-a it through Mr. Cheeseman, he believes. Mr. Cheeseman was then called. On the 2d of June he ordered a dinner for 100 persons at Ballinger's. The money was paid from the Conservative Society funds. -Part of the money was paid by Mr. Stebbing : he (wit ness) wrote to him for money, and he sent 100/. Mr. Stebbing was an honorary member of the Society. His subscription was 11. Does not know why he sent 1001 Does not know where it came from, except that Mr. Stebbing sent it to him. He objected to give the 441. 17s. to Watson. He paid it to Lisle to hold it. 'He since understood that - Watson was paid the money. Does not know by whose direction he was paid. Mr. C. Deacon, Town-Clerk of Southampton, was called and examined by Mr. HEARN—He practiced for many years as a solicitor in Southampton. Was not one of Lord Bruce's and Mr. Martyn's Committee. Did not interfere in the election more than to give his vote and interest to the Conservatives. Knows Mr. J. Wren. Met him on the day of nomination. It is a base fabrication, to say that he told Wren a , per son of the name of Houghton was to be had for money. Mr. Corfe, the coroner, was with him. Mr. Wren and, he believed, Mr. Pike met him and Mr. Corfe, and they spoke on the subject of the elec tion: Wren said that he believed Houghton was a doubt ful voter. Witness said he knew his brother, who was a Conservative, and that he believed Houghton himself would support Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. He never made use of the word bribery in connection with Hough ton. Saw Mr. Wren daring the late proceedings. Chas. Brown came to him and said that Wren wished to Speak to him. Wren said that he was badly used by the Con servatives ; that he could not get any protection ; was treated like a dog ; and that Mr. Crouch would not let him dine with the other witnesses. Witness said, "Do you not deserve it ? You were seen frequently going into Messrs. Sharpe and liarrison's office after the election, and: you are said to have decLred that you were offered 3001. to sell the election." Wren answered that he was offered the money, but never received 6d. ; he only went once into Sharpe's office on private busi ness ; that he only went to Mr. Baker when the Con servatives cast him ott and that he had no desire to in jure Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. It is a base and wicked fabrication to say that he ever desired any person to offer 100/. or any other sum to Wren for any purpose. Knows Mr. Abrahams handwriting ; saw him write under every circumstance; the signature, " A. Abra hams," is not that of Mr. Abrahams; it is a forgery; it has some resemblance to his handwriting, but believes it is not his; was agent to the Conservatives in 1837; be lieves there was no bribery at that election; there was treating; he was the conducting agent there; was not connected with the finance department; did not tee all the money tic( ounted for. Alfred Gandy was next -called—Was not offered any money for his vote by Lisle. . Might have said so. Does not recollect. Does not recollect telling a person called Blake that such was the fact. John Sadler Moodie was next called. The witness produced the canvass-book of the Conservative party, in which the names of the voters who promised to vote for Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn were placed, with the names of the person who got each vote. The -name of Abrahams was opposite the voter Twyford in the can vass-book. The CHAIRDIAN—Then would it he true if 111 r. Abra hams stated that he did not canvass a single vote. Wit ness—l cannot say. The book was left in the Com mittee-room, and every person coming in had access to it. To Mr. llEAtoi—Nir. Wren might, be the name for aught he knew. Does not :believe Wren brought in a single vote. . _ The Committee then adjourned till Monday. 1 ANTI CORN-LAW.CONF ERENCE.

One of the collectors told him (Mr. Bradley) yesterday, that out of 3,659 houses where he had called for the last rate, o n l y 300 paid on the first call ; but this parish does not embrace any considerable part of the town where the distress most prevails. Several of the Cabinet Ministers visited Sir R. Peel Ills morning. - - SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF, THIS_ DAY. GLOBE.—Every argument of Sir Robert Peel against Mr. Bannerman's motion was not less an ar gument against Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law. To do the Right Hon. Baronet justice, this appeared to be no secret to himself. Sir Robert Peel, however can did with malice prepense, never throws-away candour ' without having some purpose to serve by showing it. We are justified in supposing therefore—and doubt less the benches behind him "believed and trembled" --that there was miching mdecho—mischief meant — in the following very candid admission : " Whether the article be free of duty, or have only a nominal duty affixed to it, the probability is, that those who hold it will detain it when they have any prospect of realising a high price. I admit at the same time that a varying rate of dm y has a tendency to strengthen that propensity.—(Loud ironical cheers from the Opposition.) I do not deny it." By Sir Robert Peel's express . admission then, his own Corn-law is itself liable to the very argument which he used, we think conclusively, against Mr. Bannerman's motion : " There Al as a reasonable prospect of 6s. duty under the present law, and as there were 1,400,000 quarters of corn now in bond, the revenue would be benefited to the amount of 500,0001.—(Cheers.) If, however, you give a discretionary power to the Government, corn will be held back in the hope that Government under a severe pressure will give way •, the ordinary operation of commerce will be disturbed ; and if Go vernment must give way you will hue the amount of duty, which, on your own showing, could be realised without disadvantage to the consumer." The above - argument is as clearly condemnatory of the sliding scale, as of the proposed discretion ; and ' not less clearly is it a tribute to .the superior advan t tage of a fixed duty. Sir Robert Peel, in fact, openly borrows from Lord John Russell the cudgel of com mercial principle wherewith he floors Mr. Banner man. He assumes the very position which is taken by the advocates of a fixed duty, in order to meet the arguments of the advocates of discretionary power. STANDARD.—In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Sergeant Murphy moved for a Committee to ! arrange the abolition of the dues payable to the clergy in the several corporate towns of Ireland. Mr. Sergeant Jackson opposed the motion. Mr. Sheil promised that " unless the Government should exhibit a disposition to accede to the wishes of the Irish people, they might expect to have the Roman Catholic ques tion revived, in all its force, in the course of next session." 21r. Morgan O'Connell and others sup ported the motion. Sir Robert Inglis observed that the motion, and the threat just pronounced, proved how little had been gained by the concessions of 1829. Mr. Litton and Mr. Shaw opposed the motion. Lord Eliot said, that he could not look upon the clergy of Ireland as an adequately remunerated body of men, and could not consent to see them deprived of their present sources of income, unless a proper sub stitute was proposed. The motion was rejected by a majority of 85 to 56. THERE IS AN OArit—An Oath which we have often printed—an oath - solemnly' :taken upon the Holy thispels by Mr. Sergeant Murphy, the Right Hon. Richard Shea, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, and Mr. Daniel Callaghan, all of whom last night exerted them selves to deprive the United Church of the sole means of supportim.f the clergy in the corporate town of Ireland. We shall print this oath at length if pro voked again, but at present we shall charitably believe that it has been only forgotten, and content ourselves with reminding gentlemen, that they have sworn to something, upon which it would be well to refresh their memories by a perusal of the words of . the oath which they have sworn. This will be the more useful if Mr. Shell's threat of a revived Catholic queition shall be realised. Mr. Sheil's threat, how( ver, deserves a separate consideration. It will be remembered that before the accession . of the present Government to office, the party to which they _belong was charged with a purpose of repealing the Bill of 1829; that party, now nine months in power, has been so pro vokingly forbearing in this particular, that the Act in question has not, we believe k been in a single instance referred to in either House of Parliament, in speech or sermon out of doors, or in any public journal. At length, however, we have a threat, that the settlement of 1829 is to be at tacked, and this threat . comes not from any Con servative, ultra-Tory, or Orangeman, but from the Right Hon. Member for Dungarvon, one of 'the foremost among those who for bng years pro nounced that such a settlement must be final. We do not charge Mr. Sheil with perfidy, because, though a clever. man; he is too giddy, and, must we say it, too shallow a person to he guilty of anything deliberate—we can add, with pleasure, too honourable in his nature to be volun tarily guilty of anything base ; but still the realisa tion, by his party, of his threat would certainly be nothing less than foul perfidy, aggravated by more foul perjury in its • Parliamentary repre sentatives. But be it so. Let that party try its new Catholic question. Let it attack the settle ment of 1829 —we, and the country we believe with us, are prepared for the struggle. We do not want the repeal of the' Bill of 1829 ; but if the parties inte rested insist upon it, they may perhaps be indulged, I The Duke of Wellington, if we remember rightly, gave a promise upon the introduction of the Bill in the House of Lords—a promise, that if the Bill should fail of giving contentment and ensuring tranquillity in Ireland, he himself would move for its repeal. Mr. Shell is, therefore, sure of a proposer in the House of Lords, if he wants to get rid of the law in question. He may himself pro pose the repeal in the House of Commons. Let the struggle then come as soon as it may, we are all ready for it ; something stronger then we were thir teen years 'ago, by the help of the thirteen years' ex perience—last night's work alone is worth something —but come the struggle soon, or come it late, let it be remembered from whom the challenge comes.

PEEL presente 4 a petition from the classes being instructed in vocal music at Exeter-hall, under the sanction of the Privy Council Committee of Education. The Right Ron. Baronet did not state the prayer of the petition. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND. Mr. AGLIONBY begged to ask the Right Iron. Ban qiet whether he intended to bring funs era any remedy for the defects in the; management and appro priation of the Merchant Seamen's Fund, into which a Coulnittee was appointed to inquire in 1840 ? Sir P. PEEL said that the lion. Gentleman must be aware that in the Reports of the Committee difficulties were suggested, which would require consideration, and these should be considered before any Bill was intro duced. Mr. SHEIL said that there was a - draft of a Bill on the subject, founded or, the last Report but one. TREATY WITH THE BRAZILS. In answer to a question from Mr. FOSTER, relative to the traaty with the Brazils, Sir R. PELL said that he was aware of the importance of the subject. The Hon. Gentleman must be aware that darenees for several years existed bete een the Govern ment of this country and the Brazils, as to the operation of the commercial treat v. Their Government contended that the treaty would not expire till the year 1844, while the Government of the Brazils cOntendeO that it would expire in 1842.; and on their accession to office the subject came under consideration, and the Government stated their impression to the Government of the Brazils, and, not content with that, they submitted to the Brazilian Government the policy of inakiog new treaty, which would solve the difficulties which arose tram the different constructions as to the existing one. That treaty had been before the Brazilian Government fly some time, but delays arose respecting it from casual circumstances—the indisposition and the instability of the present Brazilian Ministry. The Hon. Gentleman would not, he hoped, expect him to give any further in formation on the subject. Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to know from the Right Hen. Baronet whether he was to conclude, from what he had stated, that the Brazilian Government heti given any notification of its .intention to bring befi're the Chamber a measure for an alteration of duty on Bri tish goods ? Sit. R. PEEL said that no notification had been given ECCLESIASTICAL COI ORATIONS LEASES BILL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to know whether it was the intention of the Right Hon, urable Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, to proceed with the EcclesiaStical Corporations Bill. It could not be considered until after the Poor law Bill and other measures were gone through ; and as it was a measure of considerable importance, and his Hen. Friend the Member for Oxford had given notice of a motion on the subject, he trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would not press the Bill this session. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said (as we understood) that it was not his intention to do so in the presencsession. MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND) BILL. _ _ _ . . . Mr. LITTON wish. d to knoN't , from the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, whether it was his intention t:t bring in this Bill during the present session, and it 'so, whether he intended to proceed with it ? Lord ELIOT hoped .he would be able to lay the Bill on the table in a few days ; and as he did not think that sufficient opportunity for discussing the Biil would Le afforded in the present session, Iv? only intended to ask the House to sanction the principle of the Bill, and to allow it to be read a second time. The public in Ireland would then have an opportunity of considering the measure. LAW OFFICERS.—(DUBLIN.) Mr. SHAW wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was the intention of Government to alter the licenses of the officers of the Law Courts in Dublin. The CHA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he was in course of framing a Bill on the subj Let, and would submit it to the consideration of the House. Ile was not prepared to say.that he would proceed fur tin,r with it.at present. ADJOURNEIi DEBATE ON THE DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. Sir G. CLERK having moved that the House do re. solve itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. O'CONNELL said he hoped it would not be sup posed. that, in rising so early in the evening to address the house, he did so because he felt himself inadequate to discuss the subject in the manner it deserved. He I believed that great perils, were at hand ; that the social state was in danger. There ti as no dispute that distress pervaded the country. He never knew such unanimity upon any one subject as upon the general statement of distress. Ireland was suffering, though, alas, that was nothing new, to a direful extent at the present moment. There were two sources of the diffi culties of Ireland. There was one in its nature temporary, which often occurred there ; another of a more permanent nature, and for the relief of which he saw no possibility of any measure being adopted which did not first secure the prosperity of England.—(Hear, hear.) The first kind of distress was the consequence of three bad harvests. He had a confident hope that the poor man's harvest was likely this year to be abundant ; but the wheat har vest and the oat harvest were likey, he feared, to be very deficient. He wished it might not be so, but he was afraid there was great accuracy in the information which ha had received on that subject. The other dis tress which was more permanent in Ireland was the distress of those who were engaged in any kind of trade, and especially the retail dealers. Accounts from every town with which he was acquainted stated that the business of the shopkeepers was diminishing daily; and lie saw no possibility of their being relieved fromsheir difficulties except through the prosperity of England. The light lion. and Learned Gentleman then read an extract from a newspaper upon the distress in Mayo and Galway. Now (he con tinued), could it be doubted that equal distress existed in this country. The statistics of misery had been re peated again and again by every Gentleman who had risen on that side of the House. The question had been not whether distress existed, but what place was most afilicted,—what class of opera tives are most distressed--% hare the families ' whifth were pitting in want and suffering were most numerous. Such was the condition of this great country, a country which held a proud station among the nations of the earth, a country which was first in arts, in sciences and in arms, in commercial industry, in genius, in talent, and in mental power, a country Which had once been the envy and admiration of the world. how has it fallen .? The scream of distress, the cry of want there, families famishing with want in every direction. He could not depict hi lan guage strong enough the extent of the misery . of the country. Were these things to remain thus ? Were they safe in ronaning thus? Was ~;~ the social state safe, if they remained thus ?—(Heits hear.) He had listened v.ith gn at attention to 114 speeches of the Right Honourable Baronet, the Sc - cretary l`f State for the Herne Department, the Right lion. Baronet, the head of the Government and the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies; but he could not find that they held out any hope of relief. The spend' of the Noble Lord, was characteristic—it was a reply, aud, of course, an able reply—but it had no more to do with the distress of the • people of this country, or of ally mode of relieving that distress, than it had to • do with the late Cabinet of Shah Soojah, or the convocation of mandarins at present established in Canton.—(Laugh ter.) The Noble Lord gave a king catalogue of the causes of this distress. What signified it what were the causes—the grand question was how a remedy could be be applied. The speech of the Right Hon. Baronet was equally bare of hope. He. too, held out no prospect of. relief. In his objections to the words of the motion he was perfectly triumphant ; but there would be no difficulty in getting rid of words, provided they could get rid of things. The Right Honourable Bart. concluded his speech by stating that the quantity of corn admitted for home consumption this year was equal to that admitted last your, and he went t , n to tell them that some new mills were about to be opened. It was a kind of mystification; there was no hope afforded of better times.. He answered to that mystification that the people were starving. The Right Hon. Baronet boasted of the superiority of his tariff to the plans of the late Ministry, and he entered into several details upon the subject. He answered to that tariff argument that the people were starving. The wave which. overwhelmed everything in its course formed an apt illustration of the evils under which Ragland now suftered. Day after ',lay one trade and then • another was declining.--(Hear.) Day after day more operatives were discharged from wot k, and more want and woe ensued. Nobody denied that ; and yet, there they were, without having yet de vised any ,remedy for the evil. For his part, he could not divest himself of the impression that something fatal to this country was approaching. The House should not forget that they were class legislators—that they represented almost exclusively the wealthier classes, and especially the farming interest. They should not forget that the people were as well aware. of that as they could be themselves. They should not forget that it was generally alleged that that House was strong with per sons who owe their seats to the most barefaced and scandalous bribery. Why, that was admitted on all hands, although the admission might be qualified more or less. Was it. a wonder, tken, that the people should say that Members owed their seats to the worst and foulest means ? He had seen some strong language in print upon that subject—much stronger than any he had heard in that House. They all knew_ that Anti-Corn-law Delegates from the diffe rent town of the kingdom were at this. moment sitting in London. He supposed there was no Member present so insensible to passing events as not to have read the speeches delivered before that body.— (A laugh.) He was met with a laugh. Such a circum stance only confirmed his apprehensions that some strange calamity was about to befal this country. The House seemed disposed to treat with ridicule a description of the public miseries. He would read an extract from a speech delivered before the Delegates, to whom be had referred. The Right Hon. mid Learned Gentleman then read the following extract from a speech of Mr. Taunton, of Co ventry, delivered at the Anti 7 Corn-law Conference : " Had not the working classes and the middle classes reason to speak with unqualified contempt of the House of Commons ? Had they not been returned by gross bribery ? Had they not all declared such to be the case ? Had not the aristocracy of England, and also the money-bag aristocracy assisted in bringing about that consummation ? Ilad they net caused thousands of honest and independent minds to be brought to commit nieatal and moral treason against their country ? %Vould they not abominate that system that scourged men into vassalage, that cursed them with slavery, that maddened them into lu natics, drove them into rioting and incendiarism, and under which, if they did nut etid their lives on the - scatlbld, they were made paupers and buried as such ?" It should be remembered that that language by what are called professed agitators ; but that was the language of men in the middle class of life—of mea devoted to industrious pursuits—who under the pressure of Le calami ties from which the country suffered, were driven to the use of expressions, which under other circum stances they would never have employed. . - s (LEFT SPE AKING.) INCENDIA.RISM.—On Saturday. the police received information that on the 24th ult. some evil disposed person, or persons, wilfully set tire to the tower at (p Park, near 1-lart ing, Sussex, the seat of Sir Harry Featherstonehaugh, Bart. One hundred pounds reward has been offered for such informa tion as may lead to the appreben,ion and conviction of the offender or offenders, and any one concerned in the said offence will be entitled to the reward in question on impeaching his accomplice or accomplices, and every means used for obtaining for him her Majesty's pardon. _ _ Mr. Munti, and a deputation from Birming ham, had a long interview with Sir J. Graham this morning at the Home-office, on the .subject of the Po lice Bill for that borough. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Coto t was held to choose eight persons, four of whom to be Aldermen, to be' returned to the \layor and Alder man, for ( .on.missioners under the Act. of tarPament for grant ing to he Alajesty duties on profits a. is,ng horn property, pro te•sions, trades and offices, and other busiitess. THE CITY ADDRESS TO THE KiNG OF PRUSSIA. The A idress voted to his Majeaty the King of Prussia, wt itten upon vellum. by Air. Paton, the celebrated ornamental writ, r, was exhibited in the upper part of the Court, in a mag nificent frame, and high praise was bestowed upon the ptnman ship and the splendidly emblazoned border. In answer to a quesa. , n from Alderman COPELAND, The LORD MAvon said he would himse:f lake e4pecial care that the Address should be safely delivered to his Majesty. THE ELECHUN OF THE INCOME-TAX COM- MISSION ERS. The Court then proceeded to the election. of the Commis sioners under the new Act. The following Aldermen were chosen, viz., Aldermen Sir James Duke, Farebrother, Gibbs, and Alagnay. . Before the Commoners were elected the following section was, upon the motion of a rat mher, read by, the Town Clerk: —l* That the qualification of a Commissioner for general pur•• poses, for London and other places, shall be the possession of lands, tenements, and'hereditatneLts, in Great Britoil), of the value of 2001. per annum, or mote, of his own estate, being freehold, or copyhold, or leasehold, for a team m hereof not less than seven years are unexpired, over and above all ground rents and incumbrances or the possession of person :1 estate of the value of 5,0001., or a personal estate, or an interest therein, being together of the value of 2001., estimating in every such ease 1001. persona estate as equivalent to 41. per annum, and an interest from personal estate of 41. per annum us equivalent to 1001 . p . ersonal estate. The following Commoners were then elected Commissioners, viz., Mr. John Dixon, Mr. Cope, Mr. Knott, and Mr. Eyion. The Tows CLERK informed the COurt that they were immediately to loomed to elect under the 32d section, by which it was ena c ted " th a t th e M ayor , Ahteinien , and Com mon Council of every Corporate City throughout Great Britain, or any three or more of them, 'At in any case exceed. ing seven, should be Commissioneis for executing the Act, and the powers therein conteine", in relation to -tbe public offices or employments of profit in such City, and in every guild, fraternity, compan 7 , or society, whether Corporate or not Corporate, within such city." Upon the motion of Alderman CoraLaNn, it was resolved, that five persons should be appointed Commissioners to per form the duly specified in the .ection just read. The followitg gentlemen were then appointed - to act as Com missioners, under the 32d section of the Act, viz , Mr. Brown, Mr. Bridge, Mr. Finnis, Mr. Lart, and Mr. Westwood. All the Commissioners appointed by the Coin t, were, it was st:.ted, as well as possibly- ceuldhe adapted to the office, being, according to the definition of an Income-tax Commissioner, given by Sir Matthew Wood, every man of them able to keep their own secrets, as well as the secrets of others. THE MASSACRE IN AFFGHANISTAN. The motion of Air. King, for the grant of 500/. in aid of the fund for the relief of the families of those who have suffered by the =mere in Affghanistan, was adjourned until the arrival of more information by the overland mail. 'IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, .114 7. MINISTERS' WIN EY. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY moved, " That this House will, on Wednesday, the 13th duy of this instant, July, resolve itself into a Committee. of the whole House, to take into consideration the Act 17 and 18, Car. 2, c. 7, intituled an Act for provision of ministers in cities and corporate towns, and making the church of St Andrews in the suburbs of the city of Dublin presentative for ever, with a view to the repeal of so much thereof as relates to the provision of minis- ters in cities and corporate towns in Ireland." The Act to which his motion referred was an Act passed in 1675. It was an Act passed for the purpoie of providing payment for ministers of corporate towns and cities . - in Ireland. When they considered the period when this Act was ori , ginally introduced as the law of Ireland, there were peculiar circumstances which rendered that law then not a peculiar grievance, because, according to the state of the population of the then corporate towns, they were doing no more by levying this tax than making those who were the predominant sect pay for the support of those whose ministry they followed. It must be recollected how completely the .state of things in Ireland had altered since that time. In Cork, for example, the city which he had the honour to repre sent, instead of the majority being . Protestants, the population consisted of 10,000 inhabitants, and the ratio of Catholics to Protestants was, at the very least, as five or six to one. And he believed throughout the whole of Ireland, where, according to the lute census, the population amounteff•—te 1,000,000, the ratio of Catholics to Dissenters was as eight to one. They all knew that the tithes, which were burdens upon the land, had been - done away with by legislative enactment ; they all knew that Church-rates had been done away with by legislative enactment within the last seven years ; and let it not be said that he was actuated against the maintenance of the Protestant Church in Ireland. He had no such notion. He was of opinion that Protestants in Ireland had a right to the same liberty of conscience which he (Sergeant Murphy) claimed for himself as a Catholic ; but he did believe that the repeal which he sought for would go farther to maintain the Protestant Church in Ireland than any other measure which could be adopted. He did not be lieve, therefore, that he was violating the oath which he took when he entered that House, by bringing forward this motion. And he was happy to say that her M a j esty ' s Secretary for the. Colonies, who had sep arate d and disunited • himself from his own political connexions by reason of his ad berence.to what he believed to be right; in 1834, when there was a mot i on b efore the House .to do away with , Church-rates, and when those of the same opinion as himself voted fur the abolition, and were taunted by lion. Members en the other side with breaking their oaths, Lord Stanley said that he would not consent to any measure which he thought would destroy the PrQ testrtnt Church in Ireland ; he was anxious on 'polities as well as ragious grounds_to see it ex:end and p1:01c7; He could neverthel e s s su ppo r t th a t measure in each an every part of it, in - the firm conviction that so far front weetkening it tended to strengthen the Protestant Church,, not in that sense, in which he wished never to hear its supremacy mentioned, but in the s esise in which the Protestant Church. ought to be maintained lie eetirely agreed in those sentiments. 'I hose are' mews which were good in 1834 ugainst Church-rare s t and, in 1835, against tithes, ought to be equally good 41 1842, against the imposition of ministers' money es f (Cheers.)

Mr. Sergeant MURPHY asked if those who had Pty posed to do away with Church-rates or tithes had ear posed any substitute ?—(Hear.) was not called ur n : to propose tiny substitute. It was the duty of the vernment to 'do so.e--(Cheers.) They had said the! would reform every proved and admitted abuse . ' 1. (Cheers.) He presente d them with an admitted abuOeo end called upon them to redeem their boast and pall the remedy.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Sergeant JACKSON would give his decided Olr i position to the motion brought forward by his lion. 0 °". Learned Friend. He gave him credit fur the sinceritrs of his intentions, but believing theta to be erroneous, he could not agree with him. • it Mr. SIIIEL supported the motion. In tieing so was not his wish to deprive any of the present • bents of the Irish' "Church of any portion of their incomes. He admitted that if the effect of the mutton of his Hon. and Learned Friend Would be to dirnlo r t the revenues of the existing in cum b en t s , it woul l blue fair to make up the deficiency in so u le other way. I hoped his Hon. Friend• who had i n tr o d u ced the motioa would be supported in it by the feeling of the IristspeoP t le ' Mr. SHAW could not believ e th a t an y lion.
