inquisition, for the purpose of preventing bribery or corruption. At the same time, he stated it would not be fair to select individuals concerned in compro mises for the purpose of holding them up to public odium.—(Hear.) The object of the inquiry was not a personal one. It was for the purpose of laying such filets before the House as would enable them to legis late on the subject; and he thought the Committee had acted fairly in directing the investigation to that end. With regard to the particular proposition before the House, he did not know, after the reading the Report, what motion could be practically made upon it.—(Hear, hear.) He did not see any alter native between leaving the Committee, constituted as it was, with its present powers, and making it a secret Committee.—(Hear, hear.) If the Committee were left as it was originally constituted, Members would have the right of being present, and it was a matter of individual discretion whether they would be present or not. He would, as far as he was concerned himself, waive his individual right to be present. — (Hear, hear.) He was of opinion the Committee should be left with its present powers, or that it should be made a secret Committee, for there was no alternative. Sir R. INGLIS would not view the question in the light of individual Members having a right to be present. He thought that the accused party had always a right to be present in the court when they were accused, and he looked upon the Committee in the light of a court of justice. According to the common principles of the law of England, the persons accused before this Committee were entitled to know who their accusers were, and who were the witnesses; they were also entitled to be present at the examination. Now, he would go further and say that they had a right to be assisted by prpfessional advice. This ought not to be a tribunal where alone, of all the tribunals of the kingdom, the person, whose innocence was to be proved, should be deprifbd of the means of proving it. Mr. O'CONNELL thought that the Zion. Gentle man ought to have jrxempted the Belfast Committee from his censure, bedause the Membitiss of that Com mittee had unanimously agreed that the inquiry should be an open one. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said that, although the Committee of which the Right Hon. Gentleman was Chairman, had opened the doors of their Committee room to the public, yet they might if they chose to-morrow adopt a very different course Hu objected on principle to the course which had been adopted. . gr. F. SHAW considered that they were in substance discussing whether the House would sanction the Com mittee in keeping their proceedingS secret. So long as the Committee had chosen to exercise their own discre tion on the subje:!t. he (Mr. F. Shaw) did not feel himself called upon to interfere; but if he were called upon to give the sanction of the House to their proceedings, and if silence were supposed to give consent, he must say that he for • one protested against anything like secret in quiries. —(Cheers.) It was contrary to all our notions of English jurisprudence. Every British subject, who was accused of any crime, had a right to be confronted with his accuser—to be brought face to face with him—to know who brought the accusation, how he brought it, and to subject his accuser to cross- examination. —(Loud cheers.) Publicity was the best guardian of justice ; publicity might sometimes be attended with inconveni ence, but it was necessary for the efficient administra tion of justice that it should be open and public. Mr.. S. CRAWFORD rose, amidst loud cries of " Divide." He was understood to say that he should not sanction the proposition of the Hon. Member for Bath. The gallery was then ordered to be cleared, but Mr. M. MILNES rose, amidst much confuSion and efies of" Divide " He explained his reasons for voting against the amendment of the Gallant Colonel. He had opposed the appointment of the Committe at first, as injurious, but- nevertheless he should now vote for the motion. Strangers were again ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, and on our return we found Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN trusting that the Hon. Gentleman would demand admittance to the Committee as a Member, and thus, according to the pledge he had given, bring the question fairly- before the House. Mr. ROEBUCK: said, after the opinion given by the Noble Lord, and the expressed opinion of the Right Hon. Baronet, and after the general feeling of the House, expressed as it was, he was perfectly willing not to press the question.—(Cheers.) The good taste and feeling of Members would teach them that they would best dis charge their duty to the House in the present state of the question.—(The latter part of the sentence was lost in the cheering which followed.) Mr. EsTCOUR'r rose amidst loud cries of " Di vide, divide." He wished to know if the Hon. and Learned Member could point out to him any tribunal in which English justice was administered, where the party accused was refused admission when the witnesses were being examined against hint. Was he to be told that the Hon. Gentleman, the late Member for Nottingham, Sir G. De Larpent, who was a candi date for Nottingham, the Hon. Member for Bridport, amt. whom he would not run through--(Roars of laughter) — he would ask if the lion. Member considered it justice to them? It was stated that this Committee would prove to the House that there had been something wrong —something corrupt. Was not that an accusa tion ? He would not refer to the debate in which the Honourable and Learned Member had spoken on this subject. He would refer to the Oedwr of the House appointing that Committee. On that occasion it was stated that corrupt compromises had been entered into. Vas not that an accusation? And how could the inquiry be conducted, unless the party accused were allowed to hear the charge ? As the Hon. and Learned Gentleman knew, at the beginning of the proceedings he (Mr. Estcourt) was ready to vote for the Committee. His objection was not to the Com mittee, but to the manner in which the proceedings were commenced when the Committee began to sit, contrary to the , principle of law and justice. For these reasons he should vote against further inquiry. After a few words from Mr: O'BRIEN the House divided. when there appeared— For the original motion.... For chi.. amendment MAjority for the motion On nur admission into the gallery we found -132 .11r. ROEBUCK moving that Mr. Cochrane should attend the Committee and give evidence on Monday next. Mr, COCHRANE was sorry to be again called upon to add :es the House, and when he begged to apologise for trespassing on its time, he must be permitted to say tLat the fault aid not rest with him, because, had not the House and the Right Hon. Baronet acceeded to the mo tion of the lion. Member for Bath, the Committee woUld never have been appointed. Charges had been made against hint (Mr. C.), and those charges had been rebut ted by him by a full and fair statement in a public news paper, and those statements he would now again repeat. He had roquested that the Committee should be ap pointed, and at the time he did so, he did not expect that he should be called before it—( a laugh)—his reason for requesting that the Committee might be appointed was, that Mr. Wnrburrton might have a full opportunity of nicking clear any charge that might be thought to have been - brought against him. He - had no wish to be examined before the Committee, or turn informer against the borough of B:idport. The particular reason why be did not accede to the reqlkst to attend the Commit tee was one which he was certain the House would pay attention to. and think reasonable, as it was one personal to himself. There had been indictments pend ing against him in the county of Dorset ever since he had been returned for the borough, and those indictments had not yet been disposed of. Now, he would ask any Honourable Member, whether it would be fair to compel him to appear before the Committee, and to make statements which might inculpate himself tinder the circumstances in which he was placed ? Any Member of the Committee would have it in his power to prove, in Dorsetshire, the statements which he (Mr. B. Cochrane) might make, and they would would thus mili tate agaiiisc himself. He did not wish to cast any re fiwtioni on the Committee generally, but he should say tharthe Hon. and Learned Member for Bath had not, as he thought, acted impartially towards him. What was the object of the Committee ? It was, as far as reearded him, that certain statements of Mr. Warbuton's should be inquired into ; but the Ho nourable and Learned Member for Bath seemed determined on keeping Mr. Warburton's examination to the last, so that he (Mr. B. Cochrane) would have no opportunity of refuting charges which Mr. Warburton -might bring against him.—(Hear. hear.) He and his 1-lon. Colleague (Mr. Mitchell) had been ordered to at tend that day, while Mr. Warburton would not be called upon to give his evidence till some future period. Be would ask the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath if that were not the case ?—[Mr. Roebuck was under stood to say that it was.] Now he (Mr. B. Coch rane) did not think that that was a fair mode of proceeding.—(Hear.) But the parti cular ground upon which he objected to appear before the Committee was, that there were indictments against him, i iptd under those circumstances he did not -wish to give illy evidence which might convict himself. There were also certain public grounds, although he should not have thought them sufficient in themselves, which induced him not to attend. The proceedings of the Committee were unparalleled in history. They were secret proceedings ; parties had no opportunity of confronting their accusers, and the judges were not res onsikle. Ha was certainly surprised to fines, that the Noble Lord, the Member for London, should ba a party to such proceedings. He had lately been reading a work of the Noble Lord's, relatiw to civil liberty. He believed it was written many years ago—(A laugh) — in which the Noble Lord, when enumerating the advan tages of the British Constitution concluded as follows : " We must never forget, however, that there is yet an other security which is,:p r erhalr,sn , ore valuable than any other, that the tri a l s lic, that th-i accused is brought face to face w i t h c i r was he before the coun try." — (Hear, hear.) H ow to know what Mr. Warburton stated when he went before the Committee ? or that he would not be convicting himself in every word he stated ? Having said this, would leave it to the House to decide whether he should attend the Committee, .should he ould bow to that deci s i on, sacrificing he was perfectly aware that in doing so he was great principle, he was conscious that he cwrolueldingbea sacrificing a still greater one in not performing what he considered his duty to the House.—(Hear.) But he would say this openly, and in the face of the Ho use and in pite of any consequences that might resnit---h would a, there firmly to it, that he would produce no do cuments and would not answer a single question that might in the very shadow of a degree compromise, or even castes, slur on the character of any one person in the. borough hie lotd hand to represent.—(Conservative cheerE.) Though he might bow to the authority of the House in attending before the Committee, he considered there was no command superior to a point of honour in a man's own breast.—(Cheers.) And no human autho rity whatever which could sanction the violation of the confidence reposed in him.—(Cheers.) lir. ROEBUCK was understood to say that the Com mittee made it a rule that the Members of that House shonld be examined first; but if the Hon. Member ob jected to that, Mr. Warburton might be examined, not before the Hon. Gentleman in point of time, but before his face. . Mr. MITCHELL said that he had just now given his vote for the continance of the Committee, but in doing so he wished to be understood that he by no means considered that vote would bar him in any shape from attending as a Member of the House from being present when the evidence with regard to Bridport came before the Committee. At the same time it was his intention to go before the Committee and state every thing which he knew, except that which might affect criminally or morally any other person. Mr. LIDDELL said that it was possible the Hon. Member for Bridport would be called on to`give evidence which would damage his own character, and that he (Mr. Liddell) did not consider just.. He thought that the Hon. Gentleman ought to be called on to give evi dence before the Committee as long as the indictments were pending. He (Mr. Liddell) could not consent to any lion. Member in the position in which the Hon. Member for Bridport, was to be called on to give evi dence which might criminate himself, and might pre judice the settlement of the indictments. Sir R. PEEL said he must have misunderstood the speech of the Hon. Member for Bridport on a former occasion, because he understood him to be exceedingly anxious to have an opportunity for fully investigating the matter. When the Hon. Member• had expressed a hope that the Bridport case should be referred to the Committee, he (Sir R. Peel) had certainly thought that he had done so with a view of having the investigation in this case on the same principle as that of the others. He (Sir Robert Peel) could not help thinking that, considering the very , natural wish which gentlemen, conscious of their innocence, had to have the Committee appointed, if he (Sir R. Peel) i had thrown any obstacles n the way of it, he should be justly blamed. He had not understood the Hon. Mem ber to say that Mr. Warburton alone should be exa mined. He understood the object of the Hon. Gentle man was merely to ask for an inquiry. He (Sir R. Peel) thought that the objection to the examination, on account of the suits pending, should be stated before the Committee,. as in the case of Mr. Fleming. There was another point to which he wished to call the attention of the House, because of the in convenience of establishing any new precedent on this subject, without mature deliberation. On a question so important, and in which a constitu tional right was involved, he thought they ought to look at the instances in which the House had compelled the attendance of Members at Committees. He was not sure that there was any precedent of that kind. He believed there were cases in which application had been made from Committees far the attendance of Mem bers, but then it gas doubtful whether, in those cases, the consent of the Members themselves was not pro cured. In the first instance, he should wish to appeal to the high authority of the Speaker, to state what ap peared to be the usage of the House with respect to or dering Members of the House to attend before Com mittees. The SPEAKER said he had examined the Journals of the House, and he found no case upon them of an order inade by the House upon any Member to attend a Committee. He found cases in which Members had refused to attend Committees and be examined, and the House resolved that when this occurred, the Committee should report the name of that Member to the House. On an inquiry relating to the abolition of the Slave Trade, the Committee supposed that Sir G. Brooke, a Member of the House, could give important information, and the House then resolved that it be an instruction to the Committee, that he be called before it and examined, if he should think fit to do so. In 1782, Mr. Barlow, a Member, was called before a Committee, and he refused to answer certain questions, and the Com mittee reported the fact to the House, and Mr. Barlow being in his place consented to go before the Committee; but lie had been able to find no case in which the House had made an order on a Member to attend before any Committee. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that this authority must, he thought, be decisive ; but it appeared to him that sonic such proceeding as a Committee to search for prece dents would be desirable before they adopted any other course, particularly after the manifestation of opinion made by the Hon. Member. Mr. COCHRANE explained. Mr. ROEBUCK thought that after all that had passed it would be extremely desirable that the Committee should be relieved from the further prosecution of the inquiry, as far as it related to the borough of Bridport. That inquiry had been forced upon the Committee by the House, and if it was desired that the inquiry should be pursued by the Committee, the House ought to afford them the means of doing so. Lord JOHN MANNERS thought it would be exceed ingly advisable that all further proceedings relating to the Bridport Election should be dropped. The prece dent in the case of Sir George Brooke, was decidedly against the granting the ;motion of the Hon. Member • Mr. O'CONNELLsaid that there was no precedent, it appeared, for compeiiing the attendance of a Member before a Committee, but on theother hand there was no precedent such as that they would be making, if they were to negative the present motion. They ought to adopt some middle course, so as to avoid establishing a precedent either way. After a few words from Mr. SMYTHE, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it would be a matter of serious consequence to have it supposed that the House had not. the power to order the attendance of Members before the Committee. He was inclined to propose that the debate should be adjourned until to-morrow or Fri day. Mr. ATTWOOD said there was no precedent for alopting the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath. Lord POLLLNGTON said he did not think a Member of that House should be placed in a different situation to a Mcniber of the other House of Parliament, with respect to his examination before a Committee. Mr, DARBY did not object to the inquiry, but he did to the mode which had been adopted for conducting it. Mr. E. YORKE was ready to identify himself with every proceeding of the Hon. Member for Bath—for he was hound to say that he had never seen any gentleman act a more honourable or delicate part to every indi vidual t.lan the Hon. Member. The debate was then adjourned to Monday. Sir R. PEEL would now move, with the permission of the House, for a Committee to search for precedents as to the usage of the Hcuse to order the attendance of Members on Committees. The Right Hon. Baronet then proceeded to name the Committee as follows : Lord J. Russell, Mr. Goulburn, Sir George Grey, Sir George Clerk, Sir Robert Inglis, Mr. Charles Wood, Sir Thomas Acland, Mr. Bernal and Mr. Greene.— Agreed to. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that he should post pone his motion for a new writ for the town of South ampton, as he was aware that the understanding was when the question had been last before the House, that no further proceeding should be taken in the case until the Report of the Committee was made public. As soon as the Report was laid on the table, he should move the issuing of the writ. Mr. ESCOTT wished to say a few words before the motion was withdrawn. The writ for the election of Members for the borough of Southampton was now de tained for six weeks, and during the whole of that time, those persons who were not guilty of, bribery at the late election, had a right to be represented in that House. The parties who were guilty of bribery were known, and mirb t be prosecuted. Mr. HUME rose to order. He believed the Hon. Member was speaking after the motion had been post poned. The SPEAKER said the question was not put. Mr. ESCOTT was not surprised at the interruption of the Hon. Gentleman. He always saw a desire on the other side of the House to suppress the rights of the sub ject.—(lronical cheers from the Opposition.) He did not see why those who were innocent, and were not guilty of corrupt practices should be punished, because there were some electors who received bribes. He could not understand on what principle the writ was suspended, and he protested against it. Mr. I . IITME was sorry the lion. Member should stand up and accuse them of infringing the liberty of the sub ject. He did not consider that either himself or any one else on that side of the House had been guilty of such conduct. Mr. ESCOTT explained. After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP the matter dropped. SUDBURY DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill being read, Mr. BLACKSTONE moved the following amendment and clause :—" In line 14, after the words •passing of this Act,' be held and considered as comprising within its limits the hundred of Babergh, in the county of Suf folk, and the hamlet of Ballingdon cum Brandon, in the county of Essex, and that the right of voting for any burgess or burgesses to serve in Parliament for the said borough of Sudbury be hereafter vested in those per sons residing within the said hundred of Babergh and the said hamlet of Ballingdon cum Brundon. having the qualification required as electors for cities and boroughs under the Act 2 Will. 4, c. 45." And be it further en acted, that from and:after the passing of this Act, the f o li mv i n g persons whose names are hereinafter inserted, be disqualified from voting at all future elections for the borough of Sudbury, riz.: John Francis Sykes Gorday, William Warner, Thomas Goody, James Bell Johnson, Francis Making, James Bro Am, Thomas Brown, Charles King, Richard Steed, WilliaM Jolladay, Samuel Shel ler, and Joseph Wheeler, junior." The Hos. MEMBER was proceeding with his argument -when he was interrupted by an Hort. MEMBER on the Ministerial benches observing that there were not forty Members present. The House therefore adjourned at Eight o'Clock. - Thursday afternoon Mr. Higgs held a n inquest at the George the Fourth, Gilbert's - passag e, Clare- market, on the body of James Serjeant, aged 38, an attorney's c l er k . From the evidence of cleaned's wife, it appeared that en Sun day morning last, between four and five o'clock, he was seised, whilst in bed, with a fit of couching. He arose, and brims diately afterwards blood, at first liquid, but afterwards clot ted, gushed from his month to the extent of a wash-hand basin full. A surgeon was sent for, bet in the meantime deceased expired. He was subject to asthma. Mr. John Phillipps, assistant to Mr. G. A. Walker, surgeon, Drury lane, attended directly he was called. He found him dead, and believed that death was the result of rupture of the pul. monary artery. Verdiet—'. Natural death, through the rup ture of a blood venel."

The body was conveyed from the Euston-square Hotel, where be died, in a hearse and four, accompanied by two mourning coaches, in which were Mr. Gladstone, the partner of the deceased, Master Frederick Yates, son of the late manager, Mr. Manby, Dr. Yates, Mr. Wilkinson, and Mr. Lyon. Several performers of the Adelphi Theatre were on the ground, with a number of the workmen, who have been for many years employed at the theatre, to pay the last mark of respeet to a manager who, despite some in firmity of temper, was Waved by all who served under his banners. TEXAS AND GREAT BRITAIN. We understand that the Treaties between Texas and Great Britain were exchanged and signed on the 27th instant, at the Foreign-office ; and we hope that will soon be followed by peace between Mexico and that - ountry. It is to be regretted that those young States thould be checked in their progress by war, which not only exhausts the resources of both countries, but does even snore mischief, by preventing settlers from going there, and by interrupting the works of industry and commerce. ELECTION COMMITTEES. SOUTHAMPTON, The Committee met at twelve o'clock, the Hon. J. S. Wortley in the Chair. Thomas Trew, manager of the Hampshire Banking Company, was called, and proved the signature of Mr. Abrg,iiams in the memorandum-book. He was well ac quainted with Mr. Abrahams. Cross-examined by Mr. HEARN—Saw Mr. Abrahams write frequently. Mr. Abrahams is a Jew ; he is a member of the t3orporation of Southampton. Mr. BAKER—I believe ho goes to church? Witness —lle does. Mr. SHIEL—He believes in the New Testament, and practices the Old.—(Laughter.) To Mr. HEARN—Believes the signature "A. Abra hams," in the cheque, is the handwriting of Abrahams ; it is bsttar than the signature in the memorandum-book, but he believes both were written by the same person. John Wren was then recalled, and the cross-examina tion was resumed—When the offer of one hundred pounds was made to him by Mr. Brown, he did not speak to Mr. Deacon. lie had no conversa tion with him during the day, to the best of his recollection. He did not tell Mr. Deacon that he was shunned by all the Conservatives. He did not tell him that he spoke to Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Cockswell, and that he was treated like a dog. He told them so since. He (lid not tell Mr. Deacon that Mr. Baker offered him 3001. to give evidence against the Conservatives. Mr. Deacon (lid not say to him " Tell the truth, and shame the devil." Had no conversation with Mr. Deacon till last Saturday week. He knows Mr. Page. He told Mr. Page that he had Deacon's authority for giving money to a voter. That was with regard to the voter Houghton. He did not say that he had nothing to say with regard to Mr. Deacon. He told Mr. Deacon in his (Mr. Deacon's) office, when he went to him in reference to the case of Squib v. Wren, that he did not wish to speak to him on the subject of bribery, which Mr. Deacon brought forward, but that he would state the tact at the proper time. Does not know a person of the name of Coppock. Had no conversation with any stranger previous to the election petition. Knows Mr. Duncombe. The first time he saw Mr. Duncombe was in the lobby of the House of Commons, when he pre sented the petition. He took the book to Mr. Dun combo's the day after the petition was presented. Mr. Duncombe expressed a wish to see it. He got the book when he came up to London. There were about 1,200 persons who voted at the la;t election for Southampton. There were 300 of that number who, in his opinion, were bribed in some way or other. He did not take a list of persons ; it was his opinion. 1n1832 he knew that about 100 persons were made chairmen and colour j men. He had no doubt that the same thing was done at the last election. The price in former times was a guinea or two for chairmen and colourmen, but on this occasion Mr. Mackay thought fit to say that 51. would be given. He heard that from Redwards. He only em ployed two persons himself in that capacity. He gave :3/. to each. In the year 1832 he saw 100 persons paid in Mr. Sharp's office. Most of them were electors. It was the general custom to employ them as chairmen and colourmen. At the election in which Mr. King was a candidate, he employed some of his own men, who were voters, as chairmen and colourmen ; and Mr. Hearn himself knew it, for he countenanced his doing so.—(Laughter.) There were more than 100 employed as colourmen and chairmen by the Conservatives at the last election. Ile had no doubt an equal number were employed on the other side. The cross-examination having closed, Mr. Mackay was asked if he wished to put any questions ; to which he replied that he did not. Ile-examined by Mr. BAKER—He had no offers from the Whig party. He had two communications with Mr. Fleming after Christmas. He received a letter from Mr. Fleming, enclosing one from Sir Thomas Free mantle, relative to the situation he asked for. The letters were at home.. qe was promised a situation at a dis tant day.—(Laughter.) The application he made was founded upon the services he rendered the Conservatives. Mr. Fleming took a very active part in the elections fur Southampton. He applied to Mr. Stebbing to use his influence with Mr. Fleming relative to situations which it was expected would occur in the Custom-house of Southampton. Mr. Stebbine• told him that those situ ations were promisedtoMr.'Lefevre and Mr. Selwood. The CHAIRMAN said he did not see how those mat ter:: bore upon the inquiry before the Committee. To Lord BARRINGTON—I bribed seven voters at the last election. I divided 631. between them. I never bribed a voter before. The witness was then directed to withdraw. Joseph Lankaster was next examined. Is one of the Corporation of Southampton. Knows the hand writing of Mr. Abrahams. Has no doubt that the sig nature in the memorandum-book is that of Mr. Abrahams, The next witness produced was Mr. Redwards, who proved that he got a bribe of 51., and was treated before the election took place. The Committee then adjourned. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTEII.—We do not remember a more gloomy market than that of yesterday ; the demand for nearly all descriptions of goods and yarn being extremely limited, and prices generally lower than during the pre ceding week. It was currently reported that the house of Oppenheim and Co., whose failure has been recently announced, had succeeded in making ? . arrangements which would enable them to resume their business ; but we arc not able to say whether the statement was well founded. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 27. — The market to-day has been very similar to that of the preceding week—a steady demand, but low prices. The manufacturers complain very much at being obliged to receive light sovereigns for their goods, or otherwise not selling. This alternative reduces their poor remunera tion still lower.—ln the wool market there is no change to report. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 28.—Perhaps this was not a worse market day than the one last week ; but the state of trade is alarming, and the prospect of amendment more remote than ever. Very few buyers were in the market to-day, and very limited purchases wera made. As to prices, they are ruinous to all con cerned. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM TEE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Ipswich Tories have, it seems, ce lebrated their triumph—that is they have been sup plied with a gorge at the White Horse, the focus of election purity in that borough, at the expense of Earl Desart and Mr. Thomas Gladstone, who, for the present, represent that immaculate constituency. We pass over the parts of the report which chronicle the mere routine business of the day. The matter of-course toasts, drunk with " due honours ;" the "health of Sir Robert Peel, and her Majesty's Minis ters," drunk " with three times three, and continued applause ;" and other such like demonstrations of " enthusiasm," may he well imagined, and need not be described. The speeches of Earl Desart and his Hon. Colleague, in returning thanks, exhibit a few points too interesting to be dismissed in an off-hand way. The first remark which suggests itself on read ing the Earl's oration is the excessive modesty it displays. How true the adage, that modesty in the young invests every other excellence with a charm ! 'The young lord—his faculties imma ture, and his fitness for the station to which he has ventured to aspire yet untried—had the grace to assume that the eyes of England were fastened on the Ipswich contest; and that the entire nation—" the country at large "—poured forth its gratitude to the Ipswich Tories for sending to the House of Commons the scarcely fledged Earl Desart ! His Lordship " thanked the electors again, not for himself, but for the country at large ! " The little stars of that hemis phere will henceforth " hide their dimnished rays " in the presence of the resplendent luminary whom the Ipswich Tories have introduced to shame them inte obscurity ! After pronouncing a high eulogiuirt upon the tariff, which his Lordship characterised as " a large and comprehensive measure," of which the more he saw the higher his admiration rose, his Lordship " deplored the factious and party opposi tion at present manifested in the House of Com mons ;" and deplored the dulness of Sir R. Vyvyan's comprehension, who in his letter to his constituents had, though a Conservative, denounced the measures of the Government. If Earl Desart's sensibilities be moved by such causes, we predict he will have increasing cause for mourning. " The Government Poor-law Bill would also have his support." These topics were dismissed to make way for others more interesting to " the country at large," viz., "the prevailing distress," and the unsullied purity of the Ipswich Tories : the first of which is too ge nerally felt to require proof—the latter will demand stronger evidence in its favour than even his Lord ship's present means of knowledge can supply, or his partiality for his new relations allow hi m t o furnish. Those who know—as almost everybody does know— the notoriously inveterate corruptio n w hi c h h as l ong pervaded Ipswich, will admire the temerity of assertion indulged in by the elated Member. STANDARD.—In the House of Commons Mr. Walter appeared at the bar, in obedience to the order of the House. Mr. Walter expressed his great respect for the authority of Parliament, his perfect readiness to submit to that authority, and his desire to give, without reserve, all the information he possessed; but respectfully remonstrated against the necessity of appearing before a tribunal, presided over by a declared enemy, and one who had insulted him in the grossest manner, within the walls of the House itself. Mr. Walter, however, concluded by declaring that he would subthit himself to any order which the House might make. Sir Robert Inglis opposed this motion in a speech which we cannot pretend to charac terise. He denounced the constitution and the pro ceedings of. the Committee as alike repugnant to the principles of British law and to the interest of justice and truth. But more hereafter of this noble argu— ment. Colonel Sibthorp followed in opposition to the motion. Sir G. Grey, on the other side, intimated an opinion that the proposition was too mild. Sir Robert Peel supported the motion on the ground that the responsibility of the Committee lay upon the House, and that the House must support its Com mittee by apprising Mr. Walter that he ought to obey, but no more. Lord Howick thought some thing more was necessary. A division was called for, and the numbers were— For Mr. Roebuck's motion .. 223 Against it .. Whenever we find ourselves in agreement with sir Robert Inglis, we have the same encouraging sense of security which occurs to one who first finds a sure footing after a long struggle with the waves ; it was with sincere pleasure, therefore, that we read his speech of last night. That speech will be read long after all the interest of temporary politics shall have faded away ; it will be read as a plea—and how eloquent a plea—for the rights of the British nation and for the purity of the administration of justice everywhere— it will be read too as a warning of the danger of hastily conferring irresponsible power upon any set of men, whatever their professions or pretensions. it is thus Sir Robert speaks of the Roebuck Committee : —" Practically speaking, every individual called before that Committee is, I understand, by an ac knowledgment made yesterday, called before an in quisition. I use the word deliberately ; the individual is called before an inquisition, where, without know ing who may have been heard before him, or who would he heard after him, he is to answer all ques tions that may be put to him by, or in the presence of a person who has himself proclaimed that he is not strictly impartial." To do justice to the excellent speaker, the whole of his speech must be read, and, after reading it, few, we imagine, will accept the doctrine that the House of Commons was bound to support such a Committee. To appoint a Committee is one thing, to support it " through thick and thin," another and a very different thing. We approved of the appointment of Mr. Roebuck's Committee, and if it were to do again, we should approve of it, although we might wish to see its con stitution very different, and its powers more strictly defined. But Committees of the House of Commons are not infallible, We need go no further hack than to the reasons for Sir Robert Peel's Election Trials Bill, for proof that Committees of the House Com mons may be partial—may be tyrannical —may be corrupt—may even reach that pitch of depravity to disregard the obligation of an oath. Is it, then, to be endured that a Committee of the House of Com mons must, because it is such, be supported in all its acts? Why, the Roebuck Committee has but one other step to take to consummate all that has been charged upon the Star Chamber or the Inquisition. It has Dnly to apply the torture, and according to the doctrine of the House of Commons last night, the House must support it, even if it take this step ; while, according to the doc trine laid down in Stockdale's case, the man whose joints may be racked, will have no legal remedy against his torturer. As Mr. Walter felt his personal honour concerned not to seem to withhold evidence, his submission may be excused, though it cannot be defended ; but we trust some one will be found to try the question whether this monstrous tyranny—an in quisition sitting with closed doors—shall be permitted in England ? We trust that some witness summoned will have so much courage and• so much of the old English love of liberty as to refuse entering a Court which must remain an inquisition until the doors are thrown open to the country. The custom of England, which is the law of England, will' warrant the refusal. Let us see, will the House of Commons dare to support its Committee in defiance of this law. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, June 29. The Lord-Chancellor, after disposing of several lunatic peti. tions, proceeded to hear the farther arguments in the part. heard petition of THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. VISCOUNT CANTERBURY. This case, our readers will recollect, came on before the Court, some time since, upon the petition of the Attorney- General against the claim set up by Viscount Canterbury for compensation in consequence of the fire at the Houses of Par liament during the time his Lordship vas Speaker. At the conclusion of the arguments the LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, June 29. The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with cause petitions. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 29. BREESE V. BRAKE. This was an action brought to recover the value of a gold watch and appendages, and also some money, the property of the plaintiff, which it was alleged was unlawfully detained by the defendant. The defendant was an inspector of police, and the plaintiff had been taken into custody in connection with a charge brought against certain parties for smoking in a Blackwall Railway-carriage. The plaintiff, on being taken to the station•house, was searched as usual, and the property found upon him taken charge of by the Inspector, in accord ance with the police regulations. The defend int was taken before the Lord Mayor the next morning, and the charge was dismissed. The Inspector then proposed to give him up the property found on him, namely, the watch and appendages, and the money, to recover the value of which the present action had been brought, on his (plaintiff's) signing the charge sheet, as a receipt for the articles. This it appeared was the usual practice of the police in all similar cases. The plaintiff refused to sign the charge sheet as required, stating that if he were to do so it would be an admission of the charge. The defendant then, it was alleged, presented the plaintiff with a blank sheet of paper, and told him if he would give a receipt on that (which would be no ad mission at all), the articles would be restored to him. The plaintiff, however, refused to do so, contending that the givirg of any receipt would be an admission of the charge, and the Inspector refused to give up the pro perty without a receipt, and still retained possession of it. With regard to the nature of the receipt demanded there was a great deal of conflicting evidence, the plaintiff's witnesses utterly denying the statements of the police. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, told the Jury that if they were satisfied that the acknowledgment demanded by the de fendant was only a proper acknowledgment, then they must find their verdict for the defendant. If, however, they shotild be of opinion that the defendant had demanded more than a proper acknowledgment for the articles, then their verdict would be for the plaintiff. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 51., for the unlawful detention of the articles. Lurd DENAIA N said the verdict had better be taken for 251., to be reduced to Si. on the restitution of the articles in ques tion. One of the police authorities gave an assurance that the articles would be given up the moment they were claimed. COURT OF EXCIIEQUER, June 29. SOMES V. LAW/ON. This was an action for an alleged libellous article in the Times newspaper. The defendant is the publisher of the Times, and the plaintiff is the extensive ship-owner in the City. It appeared that a vessel, the property of the plaintiff, had been engaged to convey emigrants from Scotland to New South Wales; but after a few days' sail from the part whence she had embarked she had been found in so leaky a condition that it became necessary to put her in at Plymouth, where she underwent a thorough repairing. The case had attracted much public attention at the time • and the Times newspaper in commenting on it, stated not only, as was admitted by allparties, that the vessel was leaky on leaving Scotland, but that she had not been put in a seaworthy condition at Plymouth. It was now admitted by the counsel for the defendant that this latter statement had been ascertained to be erroneous, and that his client was ready to withdraw it. An arrangement was then entered into between both parties, that the jury should return a verdict for the plaintiff, damages forty shillings. This verdict was accordingly returned. The Attorney-General appeared for the plaintiff, and the Solicitor-General for the defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, June 29. IN RE C. J. TRAPE. The insolvent in this case, who was a ship and insurance broker, carrying on business in Four Nags Head-court, Grace church-street, applied to be liberated on bail until the day ap pointed fur his anal hearing. His son having been examined, along with three or four other witnesses, relative to the disposal of certain furniture at the insolvent's private residence, Grove-terrace, Pedham, and some property at his country house, in Gracecburch-street, the bail was allowed to justify, when the insolvent was dis charged.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday afternoon, an ac• cident occurred to a young man in the employ of Mr. Bal lard. minter and glazier, 22, Red Lion-greet, Holborn. He had been engaged with some other workmen to clean the paint in front of the house, and was standing on the shop-leads at work at the first floor window, when his foot blipped, and he fell backwards on the flag-stones before the door. He was imme diately picked up and conveyed to the nearest surgeon, who, finding his skull fractured, advised his removal to King's Col lege Hospital, where he expired in less than half an hour.

IN RE JOHN WADDINGTON. This insolvent likewise applied to be liberated on bail. In his schedule he was described by his attorney as being " by profession " a brush-maker and carpenter. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said it was most ridiculous for persons to adopt such terms, descriptive of their occupation in life. He always understood the proper designation in cases like the present would be a trade, and he was sure that the in solvent ,4 ould be recognised much more easily by his numerous creditors if he were described as a tradesman than as a profes sional man.—Bail accepted. Twenty-seven bail cases appeared on the paper, the greater number of which were disposed of without involving any point of interest. POLICE IN TELLItiENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Curling, an elderly shabbily-dressed man, was charged with making use of insulting and abusive lan guage towards Weston Jolliffe, Esq , of No. 62, Pall Mall, M.P., for Surrey, tending to promote a breach of the peace. Mr. Jolliffe stated that about half-past seven o'clock last evening, as he was proceeding through Church-passage, Pic cadilly, he met the prisoner, who accosted him by saying in a loud and threatening tone, " Well, have you got nothing to give me yet?" Complainant endeavoured to avoid him and pass on, but he followed close at his heels, and called out, " You're a hard, b-y villain." In consequence com plainant gave him in charge to the police. Mr. MALTBY asked if this was the first time the defendant had behaved in this manner ? Mr. Jolliffe said he had been annoyed by him continu ally during the last twenty years, and the defendant had been frequently imprisoned for his misconduct. Mr. MALTBY asked what was the prisoner's motive? Mr. Jolliffe said that the defendant imagined that he had a right to an estate now in the possession of him (complainant) and Sir Francis Shelley, left by the late Marquis of Camden. The case was tried before Lord Mansfield, and the defendant's claim negatived. The defendant begged to be set at liberty, and he would so lemnly promise not to annoy Mr. Jolliffe any more. Mr. Jolliffe said the defendant had so often broken his word, that no dependence could be placed on his . promises. He was then fined 405., or one month's imprisonment. Yesterday Caroline Guest, a perfect virago, who passed at least eleven m on th s out o f t h e t we l ve in prison, was charged with b rea ki ng two l arge panes o f plate glass, at the Army and Navy Club-house, St Jamel's-square. George Williams, one of the night porters, stated that about twenty minutes to two o'clock yesterday morning the priso:•:er deliberately walked up the steps of the hall entrance, and, with her fist, broke, one after the other, the large panes of glass in the swing folding doors, and in doing so cut her arm in a most dreadful manner. She was directly given in charge to the police, but behaved with such violence, that she was obliged to be conveyed to the station-house on the police stretcher. The damage done amounts to upwards of six guineas. Mr. MALTBY asked if the prisoner was known at the Club-house ?—Witness—Yes, Sir. She broke the same windows there two years ago, and was on that occasion committed to prison for a month. Inspector Plumey, of the C division, stated that th:" prisoner's clothes were completely saturated through. with blood, and so severely had she wounded hersel , that there was no doubt but that she would have bled to death had not the assistance of a surgeon been procured. Mr. MALTBY (to the prisoner)—What have you to say in answer to this charge ? Prisoner—Well, to be candid with you, as I know I shall go to prison for what I hay. done, I'll tell you all about it. Two years ago, a noble man fell down on his face on the pavement, as he was coming from the club ; I picked him up, and also his hat and silk pocket-handkerchief, which I gave him, although I might have run away with both of them ; and I also, with my apron, wiped the mud from his waistcoat, and for this kindness I says to him, rou may give us such a thing as half-a-crown," upon which he took and kicked me, and urged on one of the waiters to me, and I therefore, as any woman of spirit would have done, broke the windows as a matter ofcourse. From that time I have entertained a spite against the Club-house; and, as I was passing there only this morn ing, it occurred to me all at once that, in the ordinary course of events, I should not be out of prison above a day or two at furthest, and so I thought I might as well go at once, and for something worth while. Mr. AIAI/rBY said she was really incorrigible, and committed her to Westminster Bridewell fur two months, with hard labour. CLERKEN WELL. A young man, who described himself as the property man in Sadler's Wells Theatre, applied for a summons against one of the chief actors there for pulling his nose. Mr. COMBE—What was the reason of his doing so, and where did it take place? Applicant—He struck me on the stage because I had not placed a spoon on the table, which formed part of the apparatus of t).e scene in the play. Mr. Cosiae—And why did you not do so? Applicant- - Because I had not got it, nor orders to buy it.—The summons was granted. UNION- HALL. Samuel Fish, a policeman of the and Olivia Davis, cook in a gentleman's family at Tulse-hill, were brought up under the following circumstances:— On the preceding night the female prisoner was mining, 0 , 1 1 late hour, from her master's house, and on search being mad' for her, she and the policeman were found together in a soot' mer-house at the bottom of the garden drinking a bottle of wine, while his lantern was placed on the settle to "throw 11 light on the subject." The wine cellar having been broken open in order to procure the beverage for the policeman ; both the parties were given into custody. On a further examina tion of the female prisoner's boxes, several articles belonging to her master were found, together with a quantity of tea and sugar, and the whole of the property being identified as stolen , Davis, the cook, was committed for trial, and the policeman was fined 10s. which incapacitates him in future from serving ht the force. _ . _ Mary Skeen, a woman of the town, was charged with robbing. George Gibson, a sailor, just paid off from a frigate recently arrived from foreign service. The sailor was paid off at Chatham, and on landing from a Gravesend steamer, in walking along Tooley-street, be accosted by theprisoner, and was prevailed upon by her to ac company her to a house in that neighbourhood. He had not been long in the place when his companion, under the pretence of going for some rum-and-shrub, left the house, and not re' turning, he discovered that he had been robbed of a bag, con" taining thirty-one sovereigns, the whole of his wages while, cruising on the coast of Africa. The money was not fenno upon the prisoner when taken into custody. She was remanded for further examination.
