The following Members wer e a pp o i n t e d to try t h e merits of the petition against the return of the lion. E. M. L. Mostyn, viz., Sir E. Hayes, Chairman, Mr. Gibson Craig, Mr. Escott, Mr. Irton, Mr. Baring Wall, Mr. S. O'Brien, and Mr. A c l a nd ; to s i t to-morrow, at ten oclock. reading of the Poor-law Bill he would move an amend ment to the effect, that from and after the passing of the Bill, the Board of Commissioners and the Assistant- Commissioners be discontinued, and that the Guardians of the Poor have the sole management of the poor in their respective unions. was desirable that the proposed inquiry should take place, and he should therefore support the motion. Sir J. WALSH complained of the alteration made by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath in his motion at the close of the discussion on Monday ,night. He did not mean to 'impute any improper motives to the Hon. and Learned Member, for whose character he entertained the highest respect ; but he could not help expressing his regret that the original motion bad been clandestinely altered, in the absence of many Members who took an interest in the subject. The SPEAKER was understood to say that the Hon. Member was out of order.—(Hear, hear) On the ques tion before the House he could only object to names. Sir JOHN WALSH (who was repeatedly inter rupted with loud cries of "Order, order," and Ques tion") said, that the Speaker had decided that he could only object to names.—(Hear, hear.) if so, then, he hoped he would not be required to give his reasons. —(Hear, and " Oh, oh.") To do so would render a task always invidious 'doubly painful. The Hon. aud Learned Member for Bath had extended the duties of ate Com mittee so much that it was necesaary it should ilse com posed of men of the highest character in the House and of the highest personal character, and he conceived that he was perfectly justified asking that persons Af that character should be placed upon that Committee. There was a voice that once commanded universal at. tentiprt in that House'; tiiere was a voice which, whenever its times were beard, all those who could appreciate the talent of the greatest living orator w o u ld en d eavour ' to catch; and he had heard a certain Noble and Learned Lord say not long ago, in commenting upon the composition of Election Committees, that he regretted that persons of high professional character were absent from the list of those who composed such Committees. ;Was he then out of order in moving that such persons should be added to the Committee? The motion of the Hon. Gentleman was original], for a Select Committee to inquire whether certain parties connected with election petitions pre sented to that House against the return of certain Mem bers, were not guilty of a gross breach of its privileges. The motion founded upon that was, that a Select Commit tee be appointed to inquire into certain corrupt practices which had occurred at the recent elections. That was the motion that was submitted from the chair. He con tended that this Select Committee to inquire into the nature of these compromises was a judicial inquiry of the greatest possible importance. It was an inquiry which not only concerned the honour and character of several Members of that House, but it was a judicial inquiry in which the interest, the rights, and privileges, of five con stituencies of this country were concerned—the rights and privileges of those who returned nine seats to that House. This might be a small portion of the House, but he re collected the time when upon nine seats, and upon votes of Members of that House, the fate of a Ministry depended, and it was not impossible that, in 50 years, nine seats would determine the fate of a Monarchy.—(lronical cheers, and cries of " Question.") It was impossible for the Hon. and Learned Member to ground an objec tion to the issue of the writ for Nottingham on his original motion. B u t h e f oun d e d hi s o bj ect i on upon a subsequent addition to his motion. It was a very serious thing for the House to agree to the suspension of a writ. Nothing could justify this but the strongest grounds. He drew this conclusion from the Hon. and Learned Member's motion, that upon the Report of the Committee ulterior proceedings should be taken against the bo rough of Nottingham, and then ulterior proceedings would be taken against the other towns named. The House, therefore, voted a Committee which might be said to combine the subject matter of five Election Com mittees in one. He said it was a case which required the assistance of Hon. Gentlemen of professional expe perience of the highest legal character in that House. Though he had many friends of his own on the Commit tee, he should still say, frankly and openly, that he did not think the Committee were possessed of that profes sional knowledge which would justify the House in re posing a trust of such importance in them. He thought the assent of the House was given by surprise to the ap pointment of this Committee, and the only remedy that now remained was to appoint professional persons to as sist on a subject which concerned the rights and privi leges of the people of the country. Mr. COCHRANE wished to put a question to the Hon. Member for Derby, in reference to the petition that was presented to the House this evening from Mr. Warburton. The question he had to propose was —and he thought he had a right to put it, as the Hon. Mem ber was a Member of the Committee—whether the Holi. Member had given any counsel to Mr. Warburton to demand ati inquiry respecting the borough of Bridport Z>efote the Select Committee ? Mr. STRITTT Jieggef./. the Heil- Member to,sapeat his question, as he did not understand it. MENT. Established in February, 1836, and now Incorporated by Royal Charter, dated March 3, 1841.

Lord PALMER.STON said he wished to put a ques tion to the Right lion. Baronet opposite relative to a pe culiar circumstance which had occurred in con nection with Syria. He had been informed that within the last ten days accounts had been received which stated that Omar Pacha, who had been the subject of observation in that House a few nights before, had kidnapped and sent to Con . stantinople five or seven Chiefs of the Druses. He wished to know if her Majesty's Govern ment had received accounts of such transaction. He would. wish to ask another question, but he was sure the Right Hon. Baronet would not answer it ; but still he might express a hope that if this circumstance had happened, that the Government would find, in the nature of the case, sufficient grounds for assisting and affording their good offices in favour of the persons who had been apprehended in a treacherous manner, and removed from their country. He did not ask what the intentions of the Government were;. he simply wished to know whether the Government had Any official information of the 'circumstance. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that despatches had been brought from 'Syria, which contained the intelligence that five of the Druses had been apprehended by Omar Pacha, under these circumstances ; they were invited to dine with Omar Pacha, and they accepted the invitation, under the natural impression that the Paeha's disposition i was friendly. When they were apprehended they were ' not sent to Constantinople, but to Beyrout. Their des patches proved that the report was not without foundation. He had better not refer ,to the proceedings of Omar Pacha, upon whose appointment he had observed the other night, further than to say, that these parties had been invited to dine in a friendly manner, an,d were then apprehended. He certainly might say that her Majesty's Government were necessarily limited in their information respecting their circumstances, and he would state that every representation in favour of these persons would be made by the Government. Dr. BOWBING sail. l. he had understood the Right Hon. Baronet to say other night, that an engage ment existed between this Government and the Porte, CORK ELECTION. The following Members were appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., and Mr. E. B. Roche, viz. :—Mr. Hayter, Chairman ; Sir J. B. Guest, Mr. Dickenson, Mr. Collins, Mr. Grainger, Mr. Cholmondeley, and Mr. Lawson ;to sit to-morrow at half-past one o'clock. Mr. W. PATTEN presented r& petition from Lanca shire against the Turnpike Trust Bill. BRIDPORT ELECTION. Mr. C. BULLER said, he rose according to notice, to present the petition of Mr. Warburton, detailing the circumstances of the late election for the borough of Bridport, together with ..the resignation of his (Mr. Warburton's) seat. He (Mr. Buller) had given notice to the two sitting Members, on Wednesday, that he in tended to present the petition yesterday, and that on this day he should slisesial than ,- .petition, and that he should then request renburable -Member far `Bath to include' - Bridport in his Committee of Inquiry.--(Hear, hear.) There being no House yesterday it • was impossible for him to present the peti tion, and he could therefore now only present the peti tion without taking a vote upon it, as it was impossible to take a vote upon a petition of which the House had no knowledge, but he should do so the first opportunity after Whitsuntide. He would, however, state the outline of the petition. The petitioner stated that his resigning his seat had been subject to considerable comment, and had been more particularly commented upon by one of her • Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State at a public dinner in 13ridport. It stated that, in 1826, when he became a candidate, it was the custom in the borough sf Bridport to pay after tho election 10/. to each voter, under the denomination of head money, but that no previous promises had been made ; that every gentleman of honour felt himself bound to pay this money; that 2,0001 were paid at his first election ; that in 1830 ; money was paid on the same understanding ; that after the Reform Bill it was hoped a better system would be introduced ; the petitioner begged that from consideration for the poorer voters, the House would not go too severely into a general scrutiny of their conduct in this respect. He stated that the usual expenses of the election were from 1,500/. to 1,700/., of which 100/. consisted of the cost of dinners after the election, and 4001. for the expenses of the processions ; that he was assured by his agents, that the expenses paid were only the usual expenses, and that large sums were paid for breakfasts at the election ; that Mr. Mitchell became a candidate in 1839, and that from some correspondence which he saw, he understood the friends of Mr. Mitchell expressed their determination to carry that election by bribery, and that such facts could be proved ; and that Mr. Mitchell stood and was returned. The Hon. and Learned Member then proceeded to read part of the petition, but in so low a tone as to render it almost impossible to catch a single word in the gallery ; we, however ; understood him to say that the petition stated that as Mr. Mitchell had conducted the bribery, it was only just that he should resign his seat ; thit the seat was resigned on the Bth of September, and Mr. Cochrane was declared to be duly returned ; that he understood that it was Mn Cochrane's intention to Ittenapt to unseat Mr. Mitchell, but that Mn Cooh rane's agent at the same time stated that can! should be taken not to compromise the petitioner in any manner. The petitioner then went into a minute history of the transactions .respecting the electing; and subs equen tly stated that Mr. Warburton's expenses at the last eletion had amounted td 2,1501., Mr. Mitchell's to 3,2001., and Mn Coehraile's to a considerable sum, the exact amount of which Was unknown to the petitioner. The petitioner concluded by praying that his petition might be referred t o th e Beleet Coititnititej to be appointed, to investigatethe compromises which had t a k en place, be , fore which Committee the petitioner would be willing to attend to give every information in his power.—(Hear.) COCIIRANE would ,not then enter into the parti eulars of what had ck . ,•6iifiT.Ll flii_'V.isf,PPidpcyrt election. He had yeste r d a y rece i ve d f rom the Hon. ititifibal: for Liskeard a note, stating that it was his intention to pre sent the petition that evening ; but he had not antici pated that the Honourable. Member would have taken that oppOriunitY 44546-.4,441 he had done, without coCeltsdii4samith A atittlibii, He (Mr. Cochrane) would not then enter into any 'expla nation with reference to what had passed at Bridport at the last election; but he felt great satisfaction, that as regarded the questions Between himself end Mr. War burton, he should have an opportunity next week of lay= ing :a statement fully before the House. After that statement should hate been made ; ho (Mr. Cochrane) felt satisfied that no implltation eniild rest ,on him, and that not even t h e breat h dr §lkikler could tarnish his character. If he (Mr. Coatis rant) had acted at all erroneously, his error had arisen from over-sensitiveness and over-regard for the interests of Mr. Warburton.—(Checrs.) If he had acted as many others would have acted under similar circumstances, he would not have been subjected to the harassment from which he had suffered since he had become the representative of that borough. He should avail himself of another opportunity of laying before that House a full and entire answer to the peti• tion which had just been presented ; and, dt the eagle time, he would express his conviction that that answer would add to his own character as a gentleman and man of honour. He felt assured that it would reflect no cre dit upon the Hon. Gentleman who had signed the peti tion.—(Hear, heir.) Mr. MITCHELL said that he had not been aware that it was the intention of the Hon. ,Member for Lis keard to read any portion of the petition. and he bad not on that account taken care to be present during its presentation. He had only heard a portion of its con tents ; and he could not, therefore, undertake to an swer its various allegations on that occasion. He would, however, take that opportunity of giving his di rect and positive denial of the few words which he had heard, at the end of the extracts read by the Hon. Mcmber for Liskeard, to the effect that a gentleman, of the name of Hutchisson, had acted as his (Mr. Mit chell's) agent , in spending his money at the elec tion. To this assertion he gave an explicit denial. and he could not help expressing his surprise that it had been made by Mr. Warburton.---(Hear, hear.) He would, on a future occasion, answer more fully the alle gations contained in the petition, and he would not, therefore, allude to the matter any further on that oc casion. SOLICITORS IN LONDON—Messrs Johnson, Farquhar, and Leech, 64, Moorgate-street. LONDON AOENT—Philip James Green, Esq., 6, Great St. Helen's. In the year 1836, some Scotch gentlemen, then resident in Greece, formed at Nauplia a Banking Establiihment. Its suc cess so far exceeded their anticipations, that they were induced progressively to increase the capital, upon which a regular di no,of profits has been made each six months, averaging hi therto' from 11 to 12 per cent. per annum. With the view of extending the undertaking, arid of pro curinefM'all its operatioes' the countenssis said support of the LavriAiraPicee, a Royal Charter of Incorporation has been ob tained from his Majesty the King of Greece,. recognizing the Establishment under the name of the Commercial Bank. The Laws of Greece, and the terms of the Charter, ex pressly limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their investment.

The Gentlemen to whom the Management in Greece is in trusted, having resided in that cuuntry for many years, are in timately conversant with the manners, habits, character, and dealings of the people, and thus encourage the confident ex pectation of a continuance of that success which has hitherto attended their exertions. The affairs of the Bank are, and will continue to be, entirely under British direc'ion and control. About one half of the Shares have already been allotted, the full amount paid up and profitably employed, and, in conse quence of the recent strong recommendations of the Managers, the Directors have resolved to issue a certain further number at Par; a preference will be given to such applicants of re spectability as may wish to obtain Shares as a permanent in , vestment, and not with the mere object of immediate sale or transfer. The Bank having been in Operation for about six years, its success has been placed beyond all doubt. Applications for Prospectuses and Shares to be made to the London Agent, PHILIP JAMES GREEN, 6, Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate-street. for the removal of Omar Pacha. 81r IL PEEL did not say that any engagement ex isted, but that a communication had been had with the Porte, in respect to the propriety of re moving the Pacha. That communication had led the Government to hope that such would be the case. They had not heard anything further respecting it, but this latter circumstance had confirmed them in their opinion, that the appointment of the Pacha was not judicious. W 7 R - ITE SWAN, COMMERCIAL INN and POSTING. HOUSE, HALIFAX. JOHN AVISON respectfully informs the Nobi lity, Gentry, Commercial Gentlemen, and the Public generally, that he has retaken the old established and much noted Inn, known as the WHITE SWAN, and in humbly so• liciting a continuance of the kind patronage he has hitherto so liberally experienced, he begs to add that nothing shall be wanting on his part to merit and maintain future favours. Halifax, 10th May, 18.42. Mr. COCHRANE having repeated the question, Mr. STRUTT said th a t h e gave hi s friend (Mr:War burton) noa, e upon the subject.—(Hear, hear.) He was not sure that he had not heard Mr. Warburton speak of his intention to present such a petition ; but.he (Mr. Strutt) did not give any opinion on the subject.— (Hear, hear.) He had no knowledge of the petition till he saw it in the Votes, and he never knew anything of its contents till he had heard them from the Hon. Mem ber for Liskeard.—(Hear, hear.) Captain BERNAL wished to ask the Chair, as a boung Member of the House.—(Great lau g ht er .) H e egged pardon, he wished to ask the Chair whether this system of putting questions to Hon.'Members, not Mem bers of the Government, was strictly in order. The SPEAKER said, that the original practice was, that questions should be confined to the orders of the day. The rule since then had been relaxed and ques tions had been put to Members of the Government, and also to Members of the House, on subjects with which they were connected; any further relaxation of the rule he did not remember, until the Hon. Member for Bath had put certain questions.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. M. MILNES observed, that whit he had stated, referred to compromises, and not to bribery and cor ruption. The names of Mr. Wm. Miles, Sir Wm. Heathcoat and the Hon. W. Lambton were added to the Committee. On its being iaroposed that Sir Wm. Somerville's name be added to the Committee, Sir WM. SOMERVIIIE observed that the post assigned him by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath was not a very enviable one, but if he could facili tate the object he had in view, he should be happy to be a Member of the Committee. The name of the Hon. Baronet was then added to the Committee, as was also that of Mr. Hawes. On the question that Mr. Strutt's name be added to the Committee, Mr. STRUTT stated that if any Hon. Gentleman o bj ec t e d t t ; bis name being on the Committee, he should be happy if he would make that objection, as he was most desirous of being excused from being on the Committer, The Hon. Gentleman's name was then added to the Committee, as were also those of Lord Worsley and Mr. Roebuck. Mr, C. BULLER was proceeding to say that the Hon. Gentlemen could not complain of the course he had taken on that occasion, when the Hon,Gentleman was interrupted by cries of " Order, order." He then moved that the petition should be printed and circulated with the Votes, for the use of Members of the House ; and gave notice that on that day week he should call the attention of the House to the subject of the petition, NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. YORKE gave notice, that on the House going into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Act, he would move that the Commissioners be not empowered to enforce any separation betiven man and wife. ELECTION PETITIONS. Sir J. WALSH gave notice that on Friday next he would move that, in the order made by the House, for the appointment of a Select Committee, to inquire respecting certain alleged compromises of elec tion petitions, the words " and whether such bribery has taken place in the aforesaid terms," be struck out, and the inquiry be confined to the objects indicated by the previous notice of the Hon. Member for Bath, ar.d embraced by the motion which lie first submitted to the House. On the question that five bo a quorum, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to the motion, becaus, he had given notice of p. certain test to be proposed to Members forming the Committee, and if several gen tlemen objected to take that test the number of Members might be considerably reduced. Lord POLLINGTON objected to the Hon. Member for Bath being a Member upon the Committee. After a few words from Mr. DuNcoinnE and Lord J. RUSSELL, which were inaudible, Sir ROBERT PEEL said, the Committee ought to be analogous to one appointed under the Election Juris diction Act, and it was of great importance that the Gentleman appointed should undertake the duty with the understanding that they should give their regalar attendance. Should any indi vidual Member unfortunately be unable to attend, the House would be empowered to supply his place, and this would be a very imperfect :remedy, because the new Member would not have heard the whole of the evidence. With the respect to the quorum, he trusted every gentle man composing the Committee would feel it his duty to give his regular attendance. Mr. DUNCOMBE then moved that nine Members form a quorum. Lord F. EGERTON said, as far as precedents went, every Member of the Committee understood that he was to give his attendance precisely the same as if on an Election Committee. This would make the proposal of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, unnecessary. Mr. BRAMSTON said, though he should not perhaps undertake the duty cheerfully, still he would endeavour to do his duty. He trusted that there would be an order of the House that the Committee should always attend in full number. After a desultory conversation between Mr. Christ mass, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord J. Russell, and Lord Worsley, the motion was withdrawn. On the question that the Committee have power to send for papers, persons, and records being put, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he believed this was the proper period, for hint to submit to the consideration of the House the motion of which he had given notice the other day with respect to this Committee. He begged to move " that each Member appointed to serve on the Select Committee on compromises of election petitions, shall subscribe the following declaration in the presence of Mr. Speaker : " I do solemnly declare that I never directly, or indirectly, have been guilty, by myself or agents, of any act of bribery or corruption in procuring a seat in Par liament ; that I never paid, or promised to pay, intend to pay, or sanctioned the payment of. any sum or sums of money beyond the legal expenses for my last or any previous election ; nor have I at any time connived at, been privy to, or assisted in, any corrupt practice for the purpose of returning any Member or Members to serve in Parliament. (Signed) Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice, that on the motion that the Poor-law Commission Bill be read a second time, he would move as an amendme n t, t h at i t be read that day six months. The Hon. Member further gave notice, that on the motion for the third rea di ng of the Income-tax Bill, he would move an amend ment to the following effect ;—" That as by the existin g l aws a ;for Members of Parliament, an d cor . large class of the population of this country are pre cluded from votin ruin practises had been proved to an unprecedented ex tent, in procuring the return of Members to the House of Commons, and as from both these causes that House could not be considered a fair representative of the people, it was therefore unjust and a violation of the principles of the Constitution, that any system of tax ation should be imposed by a House of Commons so con stituted." Mr. RICARDO gave notice, that on the meeting of the House, he would put a question to h er M a j esty ' s Government, relative to their intentions with regard to the renewal of the Bank Charter, Mr. FERRAND gave notice, that on the 25th instant he would move for a copy of all the correspondence which had passed between the Poor-law Commissioners and the Guardians of a Union in Yorkshire relative to the granting of out-door relief. PAYMENT OF WAGES COMMITTEE. Mr. FERRAND moved that Mr. G. W. Wood be dis. charged from attending on the Payment of Wages Com mittee. Mr. GREENE said, that if he were not mistaken, the House negatived the motion for putting Mr. Wood upon the Committee. Mr. WOOD said that he believed his name was not on the list.—(Hear, and a laugh•) Mr. FERRAND moved that the name of Sir Ben jamin Hall be added to the list of the same Committee. Sir GEORGE GREY objected to a departure from the rule, that no more than fifteen Members should be appointed to any Committee, without good reason being assigned.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME also protested against the proposed de. parture from the rule ; and-the motion was withdrawn. POOR-LAWS. Colonel SIBTLIORP gave notice that on the third , Some short time since he had taken the liberty of ask ing the Right Hon. Baronet if it was his intention to in troduce any measure for the prevention of treating, bri bery, and intimidation, and he (Mr. T. Duncombe) had then stated that his reason for asking that question was, that it was perfectly notorious that at the last general general election there had been more bribery, more corruption, more treating, more intimidation, than had ever been known in the most cor- AUDITORS.

LONDON, SATURDAY M,irRNING SU Ng r , - 21 -0,, ,„, f iz, rupt age or the most corrupt p e ( o id. ,) , F- , •4 -,t4 Llf • The Right Hon. Baronet had said thlie the press of ,-- public business would prevent him from \jsringing for -4, ward any measure for that purpose, but that he trus that the Noble Nord, the Member for London, would- Coik-2 -411116- ' again introduce the measure which he had introdined in the former Session, and would again take up tine sub ject. At the same time the Right Hon. Baronet ad mitted that it was his. (Sir R. Peel's) belief that at the last general election gross bribery, gross corruption, and gross intimidation had been practised.—(Cheering and counter-cheering.) He (Mr. T. Duncembe) could only say that if any one expressed the slightest doultis on the subject, he could undertake to prove at the bar of the House that a majority of the Members of that House had been returned by gross bribery, corruption, and intimidation.—(Cheering and counter-cheering.) He was now prepared to prove that assertion, but he was not prepared to carry that great question' to a private room up-stairs, to gratify party feelings avd private animo sities.—(Cheers.) tie wished that an inquiry into the constitution of that House should take I.'lace at the bar, ,in the face of open day, and of the whole country. — (;Loud cheers.) The whole country regarded their transactions during the last week with the mest unmiti gated disgust at their injustice and hypecrisy.--(Lotel cheers and laughter.) The public knew perfectly we-,'l that when they were about to persecute six or eight, individuals there were at least 600 of them in the House who were just as bad. There was a sense of justice in the British public, that did not like to see eight or ten men hunted down by 600 others, who were equally implicated.—(Cheers.) Three millions and a half of the people had already told them so, in the petition 'which he had presented, and which they had refused to hear, although the petitioners had offered to prove their allegations at the bar. What did they say in that peti tion, which had been so unjustly maligned?—(Hear, hear.) The petitioners stated that seats in that HOMe were improperly obtained, that they were sought for at a most extravagint cost, which proved an enormous de gree of fraud and corruption. They stated, and oases? . most truly, that bribery, intimidation, corruption, and treating prevailed in Parliamentary elections. Now, if' they were to inquire into these practices, let it be seen that the gentlemen, who were to act to a certain extent as volunteer inquisitors, at all events, mounted the judg i:nent seat with clean hands. That was-the object of his fl iction. He-also agreed in thinking, that the Committee , s h ou „i . be presided over by some gentleman of great legal ability, .of calmness of temper, and moderation of habits. He hoped lilsey wot:ld be enabled to find nine men, at least, who would be e e rae from the corrup t practices complained of. He could only say .that, if he been named upon that Committee, he coula not make. the required decla ration.—(Hear, hear, an d I , , ughter.) He could take it as the representative of Fins:bury ; ,but, unfortunately for him, lie was once a candidate for the very pure and O. aughter.) He immaculate borough of Pontefraeie— had spent 4,0001. to get into P a rli a me n t I,Dr Pontefract,. and he had no hesitation in saying that thee' money was spent in gross bribery, treating, and corr uptica.i. On that occasion, he was unsuccessful ; he was defeatecs by Lord Pollington, and the father of the Hon. Gentleman.' oppo site (Mr. M. Milnes). At that election, corrupt prac tices had been resorted to ; and he would say more • he did not believe that any one was returned for Ponteiract without bribery.—(Hear, and laughter.) Mr. MILNES—I deny it. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE continued.—He had unfortu nately stood a candidate also five times for Hertford. — (Hear and laughter.) Three times he succeeded, and twice he was defeated ; but at all events he contrived to leave 30,0001. behind him at Hertford.—(Great laughter'.) He had to contend with a very great aristocracy. H i e had to contend with "seven days leases"—(Hear, hear) --r which the voters held under the Marquis of Salisbury, so that they would be immediately turned out if they voted against the pleasure of their landlord.--(Hear„ hear.) Well, he (Mr. Duncombe) had to build houses for them.—(Laughter.) He had to build or buy sixty three houses.—(Roars of laughter.) A great portion of his money was spent in treating, but the greater part in direct bribery.—(Laughter.) Having only shown that he himself could not take the declaration, he should like to see the nine men who could.—(Hear and a laugh.) They would be the admiration of the country. The whole city would come down to see them, especially after they had passed sentence upon the gentlemen accused of offences of which almost the whole House had been guilty.— (Hear, hear.) If the resolutions were not agreed to, he, should, immediately after the holidays, move that an. humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to dissolve this t Parliament, after the extensive and disgraceful practices of corruption which prevailed at the last general election ; without the total discontinuance of which the House could not be restored to that degree of respect and confi dence which was necessary to the due exercise of its legislative functions. The SPEAKER having put the question, Lord POLLINGTON said the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, had applied such language to the borough which lie (Lord Pollington) had the honour to represent, that he felt it his duty—(Laughter)—that he felt it his duty to inform the House of the circumstances of the election to which the Hon. Gentleman had alluded, when lie confessed that he spent this large sum of money, which was unsucessful ; and he would tell the House why it was unsuccessful. It was because it could not succeed in corrupting the people.—(Hear, hear.) In the borough • of Pontefract there had only been one election before the time, when the Hon. Member came down in reference to which charges of bribery and corruption had been made. On that occasion there was a very severe contest in desse, and the- metnory of that contest- rare.aio44 to this • day in the town. In (lie year 1834 Mr. Raphael, the then Sheriff of London, - came down in the Sheriff's coach to stand as a candidate for the borough. There was a report in the borough that lie was a Jew, but when he was asked the queston, he replied, " I am not a Jew, but I am as rich as one." Mr. Raphael paid as much as 4,0001. into a bank in the town, but lie was unsuccessful in his attempt to gain the election. If bribery ever prevailed in that borough it had originated with Hon. Members on the other side of the House. He believed that if there had been any corrupt voters, a better class were now taking their place, and lie made no doubt that if the imputations were true, which he denied them to be, the borough would very shortly be relieved from them. Mr. M. MILES would simply say, as it seemed these assertions were to be made, that since he had repre sented the borough of Pontefract, he had never heard the subject of bribery so much as alluded to, and ho had never heard any accusation of that sort made. All he had to say was, that if the Hon. Member for Fins bury divided the House. he should support him (as we understood). Mr. HARDY, who rose amidst much laughter, said, that as he had been alluded to in this ace usation, he ought to be allowed a few words in explanation in re spect to his connexion with Pontefract. He had con tested the borough ofPontefract in 1826, and he had the good fortune to prevail on the returning officer to take the election in one day instead of two, as had always been the case, and by this means he avoided the prac tice which prevailed in the intervening night of an elec tion. He certainly did prevail on the returning-officer to take the election in one day, and lie was told, when that day had considerably advanced, that if he would spend 5001., and leave a sum of money in the hands of some person, he should win the election ; but he re fused to do so. He was not cognizant—as he was an swering to that House—of bribery in respect to that election, and to show to the House in what way , he considered his own conduct on that occasion, when the Committee sat on the petition, on which his Right lion. Friend below him was his nominee on that Committee, and he put himself in the witness-box, and was examined by the counsel on the opposite side with respect to his conduct on that oc casion, they refused to put any question imputing anything unfair to him. He was perfectly aware, and Hon. Gentlemen who had spoken were aware, that when the late excellent Member, Mr. Daniel Sykes, the Mem ber for Hull, was first chosen for Hull, his legitimate expenses were less than 3001. ' 'There was a little me moir in the library of the House in which this fact was stated. Owing to the spirit which prevailed in Pontefract, he was obliged to leave behind him what Hon. Gentle men .knew by the name of head-money ; but he took care that it should not introduce him again to this con stituency. He had stated plainly to the House the facts, and he should ever strive to follow in the steps of Mr. Daniel Sykes in all his elections, Mr. WARD said he would vote against the motion of his Hon. Friend. He thought that motion was of a na ture to cast ridicule on what he conceived to be a grave and important proceeding. The motion of his Ham and Learned Friend (Mr. Roebuck) was brought for ward with temper, tact, and firmness, and he considered that a test so impracticable—(Oh, oh)—and so ill. act vised—(Oh, oh)—.he said ill-advised, because no perso was agreed as to what legal expenses were, and no peril son could take the test with a safe conscience. —(0h - oh.) The Hon. Member overshot the mark in pro-, posing it.—(Hear, hear.) He looked on it as en alt. tempt to interfere with the motion of his Hon. and Learned Friend. His Hon. Friend did not intend it, he was sure ; but that would be the effect of it, and Ise shueild therefore vote against it. , Sir R. PEEL said that the House saw the Com mittee, and it would judge whether they were fit to dis charge the duty imposed on them. And in his opinion_ the Committee, constituted as it was, were fit, as honour able men, to discharge the duty confided to them. No such test was required of the Committees selected to try election petitions ; and if the members of such Com mittees were not considered disqualified from deciding cases Involving the rights of Members and constituents, why should such a test as that proposed by the Hon. Member be imposed in the present instance ?—(Hear, hear.) It was a dangerous precedent to establish, that a test of thiS nature should be imposed on certain of its Members by the House. He thought the Hon. Gentle man said that supposing nine Members could be found who took such a test, the whole town would flock down to see them. That was a ver y facetious senti ment, b ut if, as he expected, a considerable number of wondering spectators came to see the entry and departure of the Committee—if 600 out of the 658 Members could not take !the test, he (Sir R. Peel) did not see how they could expect a satisfactory result from the inquiry he proposed to institute.—(Cheers.) His objection was of a general nature. He believed that to appoint a Com . mittee in the manner proposed by the Hon. Member for `Finsbury, would be forming a most dangerous precedent. He-should therefore dissent from the proposal of the Hon. Member. Mr. HUME could not vote for the motion, because he believed, if he did so, he should frustrate altogether the motion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Bath. Mr. ROEBUCK thought that it would be desirable, when Hon. Members wished to oppose a. measure, that they should do so in a straightforward 'manner, and not to pretend to patronise when they were doing all in their power to render it inefficient. •When he proposed to the House th e inquiry now under consideration:: he. was anxious to state, and did state explicitly, and it received the assent of a majority of the House, thitit was the system at which he weed, and not th• individuals.

STEWART said, that out of the nine pro prietors of Loehfoyle six were supporters of the Bill, two weie neutral, and one only gave it his opposition. That gentleman was at present abroad, consequently he could not be consulted. Dr. BOWRING suggested that the better course would be to read the Bill a second time then, and go into the details of the Bill in Committee. Mr. Alderman WOOD said that he came down to support the Bill, in the belief that the Hon. and Gallant Member opposite had agreed to all the clauses. Mr. BROTHERTON said, that there had been em ployed last year, in reclaiming these lands, upwards of a thousand people, and those who undertook the works were ready to expend 200,0001. upon them.

Gait:men the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any arrangements were made with regard to the pay ment of small sums of money due for four mouths in cer tain parishes in Ireland.

YORKE begged leave to ask a question of frfhieli he had given notice, of the Right Hon. Baronet the head of her Majesty's Government. The question he desired to ask was, whether the Government insti tuted or intended to institute—sanction, or intended to sanction—any public subscription for the relief of the destitute districts of the country ? Sir ROBERT PEEL said that her Majesty's Go vernment having become acquainted with the distresses which prevailed in the country, did intend to institute a public subscription.—(Hear, hear.) Speaking generally, the patience of the people was so e.lentplary, that her Majesty's Government did intend to raise stifteriptions by the Queen's letter, and he trusted that the.aypeal Would be generally attended to.—(l:lev.) .XVQ.I4-1411rs. Atr:RA ti:LES - WiAed to lino* whether the Right lion, Baronet, the Home Secretary, had any objection to lay on the table of the House, what proportions of the persons he had alluded to the other night, as receiving relief in and out of the different workhouses, belonged to the agricultural and what to She manufacturing eh:steal Sir JA.MES GRAHAM had no returns showing the proportions requfrsd by the Hon.

The SPEAKER, having put the question, declared that the Ayes had it. The house therefore stands ad journed till Friday. _ ELECTION COMPROMISE COMMITTEE. oved the appointment of the Com mittee for inquiring iwto election compromises. It walhis wished to take every pains with the subject, but he had felt that it would hot difficult to nominate such a Committee as would command at once the attention of the House, and the confidence of the country. The names of the Committee had been altered as they stood on his paper, and he thought he need only read them without further preface, to show that all parties had been considered. The Hon. Member then read the following names as the Members of the Committee :—Mr. Bramston, Mr. Miles, Sir W. Heath coat, Hon. W. Lascelles, Mr. Hawes, Mr, Rrutt, Sir W. Somerville, Lord Worseley, Mr. Roebuck. Sir W. SOMERVILLE excused himself, orr the ground that he was one of an important Irish Com mittee, and also a Member of the General Committee of Elections. Mr. ROEBUCK thought that he might count on the Hon. Baronet's consenting to act on the Committee. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that if it was Abso lutely necessary, he would waive his objection to attend on the Committee. Mr. MONCKTON MILNES thought that after the notice of motion given by the Hon. Member for Radnor, and after the expressions of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite,Tho private steps, such as ap peared now to be the case, should be taken on the present occasion. lie believed that the result of the reflection of the last few days, induced lion. Members to come to the conviction that the House had done wrong in granting the Committee at all. It was his opinion that in granting the Committee the House exhibited a want of moral courage. He did not accuse the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Govern ment of a want of moral courage, for he knew that the Right Honourable Baronet bad expressed himself with what he considered exaggerated sentiments on the subject ; but he accused:many Hon. Members of a want of that moral courage which should induce them to repel the feelings that made them assent to the motion. However, justly and rightly the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had acted in bringing the subject before the House ; yet, in granting the Committee, they had entered upon a , course of which it was difficult to foresee the end. Why should they appoint a Committee to investigate a matter which on all sides was allowed and permitted ? Why should they make victims of certain unfortunate Members for doing that which every Member of the House might have done himself under certain circumstances? If they legislated in that manner, they would be legis lating in anything but a sincere spirit. If they spoke of bribery in that House in a different tone from what they spoke of it in their private con versations—if they pretended to repudiate bribery in that House, while they laughed at it among themselves, and while in general the loudness of the laughter was in proportion to the grossness of the case—(Hear)—how could they expect to get credit for sincerity 2 . He did not admit the great necessity which some Hdnourable Gentlemen pretended existed for legislation on this subject. He would not admit that bribery existed to such an extent as Hon. Gentlemen pretended, because if he did so, he could not resist the conclusion, that the people of , this country were not fit for representa tion ; that every extension of the suffrage was a detri ment, and not a good ; and that the proposal of the Hon. Member for Rochdale for extending the suffrage was a delusion and an absurdity; that the people, instead of using, had abused every power which had been given to them, and that they were grossly corrupted, simply because they were easily corruptible. He attributed the increase of bribery to the increase of public vigilance, to the increased value which every man s e t u p on po litical privileges, and to their increased vigilance in look ing after these things. He believed, therefore, that the Committee was uncalled for, that they were setting out on a wrong principle, that they were not proceeding on a sincere principle, but that they were trying to make the people believe what they did not believe themselves. For those reasons he should raise every i m p e di m ent in his power to the forniation of this Committee. Mr. HUME said that the Hon. Member who had begun by stating that they all very well knew that such practices had existed, would do well to speak only for himself. Mr. M. AILLNES said that what he had stated was that the House knew that arrangements took place. Mr. HUME was surprised to find that the Hon. Member objected to the inquiry. He believed, however, for his part, that the most effectual means of putting an end to those corrupt .practices which. disgraced the country would be to extend the franchise, and to give a votelo every person who paid taxes. Still he thought it 3cfs er er ne ~ 11c• ... g • , 48 4(' 99 L 4 6. rag** 1 a' 5 5 ii s o 8,8 • tl 0 " .1 01° • k,el4
