These Engines are carried by hand and placed immediately 'where they can assail the main source of the fire at close quarters, to the greatest advantages ; when they deliver their whole uniform streams of water directly into the flames with unerring certainty and such surprising Impetuosity, that the fires are banged out before the common engines can be brought into act ion. If the engine lever be worked briskly with one band, and 'the delivery pipe pointed at a window 10 feet distance with the other band, it will show how furiously, steadily, and irre sistibly the little fire destructor combats and conquers the terrific foe.

And the 3 ►ikewise take this oppo tunity particularly to re commend Mr. Shalders' Portable Fountain Engine, which was su efficient in preserving their premises from total de struction. Queeu .strect, May 26. .REMARKS OF, THE EDITOR OF THE "NORFOLK Ci-IRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES 'AFTER THE FIRE:— " About hilf-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the 'premises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered L. be on fire by the night watch, who gave the alarm and called Mr. Butcher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the 'dark what part of the premises was on Ere. Mr. Butcher thought that it originated at his neighbour's house, hut going ' up to the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when he came down and opened the door of his store-room over the tack part of his shop, the fire and smoke burst forth $3 violently that he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the ire had originated in this store-room directly over a paper loft, but ho w , it is impossible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from over the may, immediately brought two of his engines, by means of lehich Mr. Butcher attributes his house being saved • and per baps the whole street, for there being a good deal of gun _ powder en the premises, had this ignited the consequences Would have peen awful. Notwithstanding the natural agita lion occasioned by the near prosPect of danger from fire, Air. Butcher himself removed the gunpowder from the premises, And most of the goods from the vvarehous. and shop were ihrought out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea Church. The engine from the Guildhall was on the spot within a few minutes of the first alarm being given, but it was impossible to bring this into play for some time, as th e water uas not turned on ; but in the meauohile Shalders' engines (Mr. S. working one and his brother ' • tie other) were supplied with buckets full of water from the pump near at hand. Mr. M. Yarington and his men acted -*with much energy and promptitude. Mr. Steel, Mr. Plummer, Shalders, and others of Mr. Butcher's neighbours, were lenost zealous in their services. In about an hour and a half all - danger was removed. Mr. Butcher is, we understand, insured , ist the Norwich Equitable Office. I The delay which appears to have occurred in furnishing the amines with water on the above alarming occasion, impera vely the immediate attention of the proper authori '.". If the New hills Company's works are the main public Pace of supply, some arrangements should be made for the Mere sure and speedy turning on the water into the pipes ; or pity will sooner or later rue the consequences. 1/.7 THE EDITOR OF THE " NORWICH MERCURY." On Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock, a fire 1 , 1 4, discovered in the house of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank a ' ti n, by the watchman Item duty. Mr. B. immediately rose. :a after examining hi' ises found it, had taken placa in a store-room situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being Z I Tno Mr. Shalders attended with his pa tent fountain engines, •., et 7 after great exertions the fire was exting uished before an y x i b us consequerces had taken place. T here is not the 4 1 1 test doubt that this fire would have been attended with a ;treat loss had it not been for the fountain pump, and it. was • tr9ly by th a t and the exertions of Mr. Shalders th at the fire 'so promptly extinguished, it being an houi and ten minutes the engines could be got into play ; and at the time the Itr••e_,,Tas .discovered the whole store-room was in flames,a for on Butche r opening the door he was twice knocked ,wn by ‘,7e, smoke and flannel. but fortunately received no injury.

"Westminster, 27th Aug., 1841. "It is hereby agreed, that-the letter of Mr. Warburton to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of this day's date, soliciting the Chiltern Hundreds, is deposited with Mr. Leman, on behalf of Mr. Warburton and Mr. Cochrane, on the conditicn and honourable understanding that it is so deposited confidentially, and is not to be made known or used, ender any circumstances, b e f ore t h e exp i rat i on of fourteen days allowed for the presentation of election petitions ; and it is further understood and agreed, that the letter is to be returned to Mr. Warburton, if Mr. T. A. Mitchell, within such fourteen days, shall have ac cepted the Chiltern Hundreds. It is also honourably understood that no opposition, either 'directly or indi rectly, is to be offere3 to Mr. Warburton or Mr. Nicht).- letts'or their mutual friends in the borough, to. the return of Mr. Cochrane as Member for the borough, on the vacancy to be created, whether by the resignation of Warburton or Mr. Mitchell. - "JAMES PARSES. " JAMES LEMAN." The circumstances which induced Mr. tVarburton to make this agreement are stated in his evidence to have bern— fear that his friende might stiffer in consequence of the exposure threatened by Mr. Cochrane ; afterwards finding that he himself might be supposed implicated in the map -practices of the election, he was desirous to hare a public inquiry ; but deeming himself bound by the offer of hi s agent , an d t h at the negotiation bad -one too far fbr him to b rea k i t o ff w i th honour, he yielded to the necessity, and relinquished his seat. Mr. Warburton declares most solemnly that he him self was not merely not cognisant of bribery on the part of his friends, bnt that. be believed, during and till Tong after the election, that no such practices could be by any possibility charged against himself or his agents ; that. the bribery at. the election was enrried on wholly with ott't his knowledge and without his sanction, express or implied ; and that his fear, on this subject, was not for himself, but for his friends, whom, after the election, he discovered to have been implicated in the bribery carried on by the friends of Mr. Mitchell. In consequence of this agreement, Mr. Warburton accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and Mr. Cochrane was elected without opposition ; as the opposition threatened was averted by the interference of Mr. Warburton and his agents, and by means of a negotiation, the particu lars of which will hereafter be explained. That the cost of Mr. Warburton's election was 2,1661. Part of this sum was expended in treating ; and to me peculiar portion of the subsequent expenditure yew.- Committee would solicit the attention of the House. A custom, it appears, has long prevailed at Bridport. fbr each successful candidate to give a dinner after tl.c elec tion to such of the constituency as have voted in his fa vour ; in the case now before us, the sum expended by Mr. Warburton, in accordance with this custom. was about Toot ; and, the other successful candidate, Mr. Mitchell, for the same purpose, expended a like sum of 7oeL it would be well if some means could be devised of putting an end to so mischievous a custom. That the number of registered voters was 5 5 . That, after Mr. Warburton had undertaken to resign, a petition was presented against the return of Mr. Mit chell, on the part of electors in the interest of Mr. Coch rane and that of this petition Mr. Cochrane had the control and management. This petition contained charges of bribery and corruption, alleged to have been committed by Mr. Mitchell and his agents. That a petition was presented against the return of Mr. Cochrane by electors in the interest of Mr. Mitchell; this petition contained charges of bribery and corruption alleged to have been committed by Mr. -- Cochrane and his agents, both at the general election, on which occasion Mr. Cochrsne was defeated, and at the second election, when he was elected ; this petition was under the control and management of Mr. Mitchell. Your Committee also fotind, that various actions were brought for penalties in consequence of bribery, both on the part of Mr. Mitchell's friends, against those of Mr. Cochrane, and by friends of. Mr. Cochrane against the partisans of Mr. Mitchell. • That mutual indictments were also preferred, and that a rule on the same ground of bribery, to show cause why a criminal informatiox should not be filed against Mr. Cochrane was also ob tained. . 7 That in September, 1841, and before his electiuu, and in consequence of opposition threatened to his election, Mr. Cochrane agreed, with certain electors at Bridport, to withdraw all actions against certain persons for bribery, provided that the threatened opposition was ‘‘ithdrawil. That, at the same period; Mr. Cochrane further agreed. I that if the opposition Were Withdrawn. he would prose cute the petition against Mr. Mitchell's return on docu mentary evidence ; promising not to .employ any oral testimony, as that might implicate certain persons, the friends of those with whom he was negotiating. It should be remarked that, at this period, Mr. Coch rane's agent had in his possession documents proving the bribery at Bridport, on the part o f Mr. Mit c h e ll' s f r i en d s , which - documents came into his possession inconsequence of a quarrel between Mr. Mitchell and his legal agent at Bridport. That, on this arrangement, the Opposition was with drawn, and the actions withdrawn. That in the month of March, 1842, before the time appointed for the trial of the election petition against the return of Mr. Mitchell, certain actions were to be tried at the Somerset Assizes, which had been brought against the friends of Mr. Cochrane : in this state of circumstances, and before any of the trials came on, the following arrangement was made between Mr. Mitchell on the one part, and Mr. Cochrane on the other. Mr. Mitchell agred to withdraw all the actions and indictments, and all other criminal proaecdings against Mr. Cochrane end his friends, together with the petition. which had been presented against the return of Mr. Cochrane. Mr. Cochrane, on the other hand, agreed to withdraw tl:e petition against the return of Mr. Mitchell. The circumstance which led Mr. Mitchell to agree to this arrangement, was the fear of being unseated on the charge of bribery by his agents. On the other hand, Mr. Cochrane was led to agree to this arrangement from a fear of the consequences of the various investigations to himself and his friends. Thus, in the various transactions, the following com promises wero entered into:-- _ _ _ 1. That of Mr. Warburton and dr. Cochrane. 2. That of Mr. Cochrane and certain electors, his op ponents, at Brid port.. 3. That of M. Mitchell and Mr. Cochrane. 4. That of Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Mitchell. The sum expended by Mr. Mitchell iu this election was 3,3001. Of this sum a large portion was spent, some in treat ing, some in direct bribery. This bribery was eon). menced without the cognisance of Mr. Mitchell, but was continued after it had become known to him, not being interdicted by him. This fact was learned from Mr. Mitchell himself, and from one of his friends. The Committee would have been glad, did their duty end here ; but they are obliged, by their respect for die House, and from an anxious desire that no act of theirs may compromise its dignity and power, to call the at tention of the house to another circumstance attending this inquiry, which it is proper the House should know, though upon it your Committee will not offer any remark. During the various investigations made by your Com mittee, as they have already had occasion to observe, their endeavours have been much facilitated, and the ob:ect whi.7h the House had in view, when they deter mined upon the present inquiry, greatly' furthered, by the wiilingness and candour with which most of the witnesses have come forward to afford the information which the Committee needed, and which those witnesses could for the most part alone afford. No material ob struction has been offered to your Committee, except in the ease of Bridport ; and the chief obstruction here has arisen from a Member of your House, viz. Mr. Alex ander Cochiane. (Some extracts here are given of the questions put to Mr. Cochrane, who decidedly refused to state to the Committee how the money bad been expended.) Mr. Templer, the agent of Mr. Cochrane, claimed . Lia privilege as the attorney of Mr. Cochrane, and refused kis evidence because not released by his client from the necessit y of claiming his privilege. ]our Committee have also to call the attention of the House to the direct and positive refusal of Mr. Thomat, Flight to give any evidence of whatsoever description respecting the election at Bridport. As regarded the inquiry itself, your Committee hate to remark, that the information refused by Mr. Thomas Flight has been supplied by others; and as respects that refused by Mr. Cochrane and his agent, viz., the specific sums spent, and the mode in which they were expended, it was not absolutely required for the purposes of the inquiry. Your Committee, therefore, did not press the questions, and did not think it neccessary to invoke the undoubted powers of the House in order to enforce an answer. That bribery in the present case did take place. all the evidence plainly shows ; and that it was extensive and systematic, and that it was practised by the partisans of Mr. Cochrane, as well as those of Mr. Mitchell, your Committee cannot doubt. 18th July, 1842. The Committee originally consisted of Mr. Bramston, i Sir William Hcathc-AN Mr. William Miles, I Mr. Strutt, Sir William Somerville, Lord W 7 orsley, and Mr. Hawes, I Mr. Roebuck ; Mr. Sebright Lascelles, But on the 21st of June Mr. son Patten were substituted Eliot Yorke and Mr. WO. for Mr. Miles and Sir Ham Heathcote. _______.

SUN.—The prices of the Funds towards the close evinced a tendency to improve still further, and the last price of Consols was 901- 901,- . for Money, and 90 1 8 91 for the Account ; Bank Stock, 165) 1661 ; India Stock, 249 25U ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 46 48 ; New, 44 46 prem. The nominal prices of Foreign Securities, for no real business was done, were—Belgian, 1011 10:4 ; Dutch Two-and• a-Half per Cents., 51 511; the Five per Cents., 101 1011 ; Danish, 82 83 ; and Brazilian, 63 65. The quotation for Mexican remained at 36+ 361. Scarcely any transactions were entered into in Shares; London and Birmintham were 178 180 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 48 50 ; Grew. - Western, 861 871; ; the Hail* Shares, 61-k 621, ; South Western, 61:1 F 62 - 4 ;- North Midland,s9 60 ; the - New Shares, 29 30 ; South Eastern and Dover, 221 23 ; the New Shares, 21 3 ; lit;::stern Counties. 8 91; Northern and Eastern, 401-411 ; Black wall, 9 9k ; and Brighton, 331 33:4 per share. The usual return of the average assets and liabilities of the Bank of England, for the twelve weeks ending the 16th instant, was publish Lil in the Gazette of last night. The circulation, by comparison with the former return, has increased 484,0001., the difference between 18,279,000/. and 17,795,0001. ; the deposits are greater by 554,000/, the difference between 8,565,000/. and 8,011,000/. ; the securities in deposit are more by 532,000/., the difference beta een 21,715,0001, and 21,181,0001. ; and the stock of bullion is larger by 498,0001., the difference between 7,818,000/. and 7,320,0001. There is a trifling decrease in the rest, the balance between the liabilities and the assets last time being 2,695.0001. and now 2,687,0001. In ordinary months this increase in the circulation might be viewed as indicative of an improvement in commercial prosperity ; it must, however, be remem bered that in the present return the amount necessary for the payment of the dividends has to be eplculated. It has to be 'admitted that the enlargement is not wholly owing to that circumstance, but that the demand for money, for commercial purposes, has decidedly im proved on the month, of which the present accounts embrace a part. The payments, on account of duties, and the impetus which the tariff has given to trade, have caused a larger amount of bills to be thrown into circulation, and so far the (figures may be viewed as fa vourable, but no decided opinion can be given until the returns of the general circulation of the kingdom be published, from which the state of trade throughout the country at large may be deduced. The stock of Bullion, taken in connexion with the ac counts of the harvest, is doubtless favourable. It is at this season of the year, that the necessity for gold first shows itself, should there be any undue demand for coin, but the amount of metal in store shows a steady increase, thereby proving, in conjunction with the rates of Ex change, that the inquiry for exportation has not been large. It was expected, that the quantity of light coin paid into the Bank would have given a large supposi tious increase in the present return, but it has been ascertained that almost the wholei received had been delivered to be recoincd, as well as, a large amount of silver in addition, so that the accounts now presented may fairly be considered as representing an approximation to the truth, The letters from Rio Janeiro, the latest of which ari.t : dated the 25th of May, state business to be still ex cessively dull, and without any new feature. Hopes, however, are held out, that an improved demand will arise for our manufactures, but consequent only on a diminu tion of the stocks.

" My curse upon your whunstane hearts, Ye Embrugh gentry The tythe o' what ye waste at cartes, Wad stow'd his pantry !" BURNS. Sin,—Such was the indignant apostrophe of the " Bard of Coila" at the shameful state of destitution in which his brother poet Ferguson had been left by his countrymen. By the simple alteration of the pronoun in the last line it is singularly appli cable to the state of utter destitution in which the sister of the bard is at present unhappily left. The Sun was the first newspaper to announce the melancholy fact that the sister of Robert Burns is still living, at an advanced age, at the village of Tra nent, in Haddingtonshire ; that she is entirely de pendent on her two unmarried daughters, who, though active and respectable young women, yet, in spite of all their exertions, are barely able to keep house for themselves and their aged parent—in short, that .the sister of Burns has fallen into poverty, the dread of which is the theme of so many of her brother's verses. How frequently does he speak of " That iron-hearted citric, Want, Attended in his grim advances By sad mistakes and black mischances." And with what dire forebodings does he look forward to the possibility of such a consummation. One only alleviation of her fate, it appears, has sprung from the fame of her brother, in the shape of the most trifling annual pittance from the Scottish Exchequer. It would be needless to expatiate on so distressing an appeal, as such would only be an echo of the senti ments you have already expressed ; but it is truly melancholy to think that the last survivor of the fa mily of Burns's father should, in her latter days, be suffering from the chill hands of penury, and sus tained chiefly by the exertions of two dutiful children. There is one thing which somewhat surprises me. Three of the poet's sons are still living. The eldest, Robert, resides at Dumfries, and is in the enjoyment of a pension ; Major Burns resides in England, and I believe is in the receipt of a pension from the East In dia Company ; the third is in the Company's service in some part of India. Could they have been aware of the painful circumstances in which their relative is placed ? and if so, have they at any time endeavoured to alleviate her distress ? it is to be hoped they have. However, through i lr. H. Chambers, whose • conduct throughout merits the warmest commenda tions, the case has been brought before the public. It gives me great pleasure to add, that since the above notice, Sir Charles S. Monteath, Mr. Carlyle, and the celebrated vocalist Mr. Wilson, who ,was Among the first to promote so laudable an undertaking, have en-' gaged to act as a committee to superintend the .collee tion and disposal of a fund for the benefit of Mrs. Begg (the sister of Burns), and that already some handsome tributes have been paid in, affording ground of hope that a sufficiency will be obtained to procure her a small annuity. It is to be hoped that a portion of what has been already collected will be given her to alleviate her present wants, and that enough will be collected to provide for her future maintenance. Your obedient servant, C. P. J. . NIS-STATEMENT OF PROSPERITY.—As we copied last week that statement of the Manchester Guardian, relative to the increasing prosperity of the country, which was afterwards 'quoted in the House of Commits by Sir litlbert Peel, we have now to notice that the Guardian has retracted it to a considerable extent. That Journal of Saturday said :—" We feel it due to our readers and ourselves to admit, that on one point we were undoubtedly in error. We never understood or meant to say, that the orders from the United States were considerable, but that orders considerable in the aggregate had been received, some from the \Vest In dies, sonic . from Canada, and some from the United States, placing those countries in the sequence which we understood to indicate the relative importance of the orders received. So far as the United States are cot - corned, however, we find that we laboured under a mis conception of the meaning of what was said to us; and that the orders which have been recently received from that quarter are of a very trivial character." The Globe states that in the diplomatic circles at , Berlin there is much talk of the creation of Syria into a king doin under a German prince, who should have the protection of the great powers, like the King of Greece. 11 AMWAY TRAFFIC.—The following calculation of the last weekly returns of thirty-eight railways, 1,337 miles in length, given in our present nuMber, will, we believe, be of interest :—Number of passengers on twenty-five railways, 361,738, consequently the total for the week must be about -10000. The receipts for pas sengers on thirty-seven railways, 76,9211. 19s. ; ditto for goods, on thirty-one railways, 17,3691. 4s. 2d. ; total, 94,2911. 3s. I Id. This is an average of 70-A-1. per mile per week. The traffic, therefore, is certainly at the rate of about four millions a year, and carrying fifteen mil lions of passengers.—Railway Magazine.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) The following refers to READING: 'The petition on these terms was withdrawn. The circumstances which induced the sitting Members thus to give up one seat and run a risk, deemed by Mr. Russell himself almost a certainty, of paying 2,1)001., are st:..tud to have been— !. An apprehension on the part of the counsel of the sitting Members, that there was great danger incurred, by defending the seats, of losing them both. 2. The certainty of great expense, with very great chance of an unfavourable issue. On the part of Mr. Mills, the expectation was that he was ceitain of being returned upon the vacancy. That the constituency of Reading is 1,050. That the gross cost of this election to Mr. Russell the Committee could not accurately ascertain, as the accounts have not yet. been rendered to him. He himself states that he has paid on account abort 1,1001. or 1,200/. The agent of Mr. Russell says that lie has delivered to him self, as agent of Mr. Russell, further bills to the amount of above 3,0001., some of which he believes are joint bills of Mr. Russell and Lord Chelsea. Lord Chelsea himself believes, as appears froyn his answers to the Committee, that his expenses will not ex ceed 2,00 a Of the application of the whole of this money the Committee could gain no accurate information. Mr. Russell, Lord Chelsea, and their agent, distinctly asset t that part was expended in direct bribery ; though it is admitted, by both sitting Members, that so large a seat could not all have been spent in legal and proper dis bursements ; and their agent, when asked as to this ex penditure, and snore especially whether beer-shops had been opened, declined to answer. The opposite agent speaks in very positive terms as. to the charge of treating and bribery he expected to prove. 't bat the gross cost of the election to Mr. 'l'. Mills was 1,6001. Of the expenditure of this money nothing very accurate could Le ascertained ; that any part of it was spent in direct bribery all parties concerned in its distribution deny ; but, at the same time, it is admitted by Mr. Mills, and also by his agent, that much must have been spent improperly. Your Committee also found, in the case PENRYN AND FALMOUTH, that at the last general election Captain Vivian and Cap- tain Plumridge were returned as duly elected; that the opposing candidates were Mr. Gwynn and Mr. Sartoris. That the state of the po!l was as follows: Captain Vivian 462 Captain Plumridge Mr. Gwynn Mr. Sartoris That a petition was presented by certain electors on behalf of Mr. Gwynn, praying for a void election in the case of Captain Plumridge, which petition contained, among others, charges of bribery and corruption on the part of Captain Plumridge and his agents.—(See Ap pendix K) • That a Committee was appointed to try this case, and proceeded so to do: when on the fourth day of its sit ting, and towards the close of the petitioner's case, the labours of the Coinmittee were brought to a sudden ter mination by a compromise entered into by the agent of Captain Plumridge on the one hand, and the agent of the petitioners and Mr. Gwynn, the opposing candidate, on the other. The terms of this arrangement were merely verbal, and were to the following effect :- 1. That the petition was to bee ithdrawn. 2. That Captain Plumridge would thereupon, and before the Ist of July, accept the Chiltern Hundreds, and thereby vacate his seat. 3. That no opposition should be given by Captain Plumridge to the return of any person proposed by the party presenting the petition. . That this arrangement, though made by the autho rised agent of Captain Plumridge, was made wholly with out his knowledge or consent. The circumstance which by the agent is stated as the cause of his making this compromise was the apprehen sion on his part that any further defence of the seat would have been useless, as lie felt certain that the case I of general corruption would be believed by the Election I Committee. That, indeed, he had no further funds for the defence ; but that, if he could have had all the money that was needed, he would not have continued the de fqnce, and that he was entirely led to this determination by the certainty that extensive and systematic bribery would be proved to the satisfaction of the Committee. It appears that during the election Captain Plumridge spent- )10 money, bore no part of the expenses, and he declares solemnly that lie was personally not cognisant either of any direct or indirect act of bribery or corrup tion. His agent for the conduct of the petition states that a general system of bribery did prevail at the election. Ire states further that bribery was common to both side, and this was admitted also by their agent for the I petitioners. Tim gross sum expended on the joint election of Cap tain Vivian and Captain Plumridge was, by their agent, stated to be about 4,0001. The gross sum expended by the opposing candidates was, by their agent, stated to have been 4,000/. As to the acknowledged illegal expenditure of these sums, your Committee beg leave to refer the House to the evidence of the agents of the sitting Members and the petitioners. This case gi% es rise to the observations of the Com mittee on the injustice resulting from the present state of the law in those cases where a void election is simply prayed for, and not the seat. Your Committee, to whom was also referred an inquiry ordered to be made into certain corrupt compromises alleged to have been entered into for the purpose of avoiding investigation into gross bribery, which had been alleged to have been practised at the election of the borough of Bridport in June last, and also whether such bribery had taken place in the aforesaid town ; and who were empowered to report their opinion thereon : Have considered those other matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following separate Report thereupon : Acting on the principle which had guided their in quiry, respecting the cases submitted to them by the first reference of the House, your Committee proceeded to investigate the allegations respecting BRIDPORT, which formed the subject of the second reference. The peculiar circumstances attending this inquiry have compelled your Committee to pursue a course ditferen from that which they have adopted in all the cases sub. mated in the first order of reference. Your Committee, as soon as they commenced their task, with respect to the late elections at Br:dport, and the compromises alleged to have taken place to avoid in vestigation into the proceedings of those elections, dis covered that two very distinct subjects of inquiry were by all the witnesses forced upon the attention of your Committee ; viz. one, the question of public import, which was deemed common to this and all the preceding cases ; the other, private differences between the various parties concerned in the elections which had taken place. Your Committee determined to confine themselves en tirely to the public question, and refused to inquire into, or to express, any opinion upon the matter of private difference ; and every witness .called before them was carefully desired to restrict his evidence to the point which your Committee sought to investigate, and to abstain from any mention of matters of mere personal and private consideration. It was, nevertheless, found impossible so to restrict witnesses, whose chief object appeared to be, by means of a public inquiry, to justify the part which each had taken in a private dispute ; and in spite of the continued and strenuous efforts of your Committee, the evidence submitted to them assumed a. character so decidedly personal, the public and the pri vate questions became so mixed and blended together, and private feeling so prevailed in every part of the tes timony, that your Committee felt themselves obliged to decline the responsibility of reporting it to the House • and to assure the House, that, in their opinion, no good object could be obtained by circulating a mass of evidence of the nature described. In the progress of this investigation your Committee I obtained evidence sufficient to enable them to fulfil the orders of the House, and to report upon the inquiry submitted to them. From the evidence as it now stands, your Committee have unanimously drawn the conclusions which they are now about to lay before the House. For public purposes, the investigation bps been sufficiently accurate and extensive. It would, however, be impossi ble to determine how much further time would be ne cessary fully to inquire into the subjects of private dif ferences connected with these transactions. As the I Committee did not consider it a part cf their duty to prosecute such inquiry, they have, without hesitation, stopped short the moment they found the public object attained, thus of necessity leaving the evidence altogether incomplete as respects the questions of mere private and personal consideration ; and from this circumstance alone, it' no other objection existed, your Committee would have considered it expedient as well as just, to let the evidence remain unpublished. They hope I that when th e H ouse h as duly weighed the reasons hick they now offer for the course which they have deemed themselves obliged to adopt, that their determi nation will receive its sanction and approbation. Your Committee have been enabled in the case of Bridport to come to the following conclusions, which they new lay before the house : 'they folud that at eta, last general election ' Mr. Wal - but toll' and Mr. Mitchell were r eturned- as duly elected, n the opposin candidate being' Mr. Abixander Cochrane. The poll was as follows : :104 Mr. Warburton...... 282 Mr. Mitchell 244 6 MI. Cochrane That soon after the election, Mr. Warburton, hearine, that a pet i t i o n was agog`to be presented against his re t„rn. ei well as that of elr.
