(From the New York Enquirer.) We gave yesterday, on the report of a Captain of a vessel just arrived, a brief account of a frightful earth quake which has devastated some of the principal towns on the Island of Hayti. We have since obtained a Port au Prince paper, from which we translate the particulars we publish below. To those who have listened to the glowing description which the refugees from St. Do mingo were wont to give of its thriving, happy popula tion, its crowded citivs, and abundant cultivation, it is painful to think of the present position of the once Queen of the Antilles.—What abolition and les antis des noirs have left undone, the inscrutable hand of Provi; deuce would now seem to have almost accomplished. (From Le Patriote of Port au-Prince, May 11.) On Saturday, the 7th inst., at 20 minutes past seven in the evning, we experienced some severe shocks of an earthquake, whicli put the whole town in commotion. At mid-day a large meteor was perceived passing to the east. The heat was excessive, and thick clouds hung river the neighbouring mountain, going in a direction from the south-east to the north-east. The seamen who were in the roads report that they • felt the shock before they saw the houses shake, which would indicate that the shock came from the east. Many persons, however; think they observed that the oscillations -came from the north and went south. There were two very decided shocks, the first was not as long as the second ; the latter was the most viols nt and fisted about three minutes. All abandened .their houses, and the streets were filled with the affrightemd population. But a little more, and Port-au-Prince would have been the scene of a disaster similar to that of 1770, a fatal year which occurred to the minds of every one. There is scarcely a single: brick or stone house which has not suffered damage, they are all more or less da maged. Some, it is said, are scarcely habitable. The facade of the Senate House, on which is sculptured the arms of the ilepublic, surmounted by the tree of liberty. were detached from the edifice and broken into pieces by the fall. The interior of the building has also received some damage. In the night between Saturday and Sundav, two shocks were again felt, but not so violent as the first, one at 10 o,eloek and 'the other at 12. At 11 o'clock in the morning of Sunday came another shock, mass at church was interrupted, and those officiating at it ran away and many females tainted. Monday, at eleven o'clock in the morning, another shock. The weather during these three days has had a low ering and at times a threatening appearance. Mon :y evening a little rain with excessive heat before and after wank ; night cool. 'Tuesday, a change of weather, re turn of the breeze and appearance of rain. -In the evening at eight o'clock, the weather «as stormy, and everything seemed to indicate an abundance of rain. The hopes we entertained yesterday have not been realised. On Wednesday we were awoke at ati w minutes before five in the morning by another earthquake. During these latter days it appears to us as if the earth on which we were walking was constantly quaking. SAINT MAnc.—A letter from this town,. which has been communicated to us, informs us that there too the earthquake of Saturday last was felt with the greatest violence ; many houses have been so much shaken that they threaten every instant to fall down. On some plantations in the neighbourhood of the town very great damage has been done. GONAIVES, MAY B.—Yesterday afternoon an earth quake was felt in this city, which was so violent thi.t most of the houses in it were thrown down. At the same time, in consequence of the shock, a fire broke out in the apothecary's shop of Air. Invernezzes and consumed in a few moments an entire block. The flames destroyed everything that came in their way; there was not a drop of water in the town. All the houses which have not been burnt down have been injured by the earthquakes, and this morn ing the shoeks occur every quarter of an hour. — The shops of Madame John Joufferts and Al. - Dupny • have fallen a prey to the flames. The shops of M. Richard Dauphin and•M.•Oster, built of stone and brisk have fallen down. Houses and shops are inaccessible, and we write these hurried lines in the street. The whole population has passed the night in the middle or the streets. Of the' ur,:rchandise, which the merchants hadbeen obliged to pile up in the public square, a great part has been stolen. It is impossible at present to eSti mate the extent of the loss. The church, the prison, the national palace, the treasury, the arsenal, and the house which - was getting ready fur the colonel 'commanding this district, arc now nothing more 'than a:heap of ruins. In short,- no: one, has escaped the calatnay. Now, l'-while we are ,writhigiAlie :fire '.is entirely. .extinguished, but the sky looks threatening, and we are afraid of more ihOcks;--7,-If- 'unfortunately our fears should be rre:4lli:ell, there, will be an end of the few houses re- Gonaives will . be no more. priOipal shock laated about five mi -01144 04 -AN-Is folloWed, during the .

It has been brought by Mr. Obas, son of the General connuanding the district of Plaisance. In consequence of tbe earthquake which was felt here on Saturday evening, Cape Town has entirely disappeared, and with it two-thirds of the population. The families which escaped this disaster have 'taken refuge at La FosSette, where they are without shelter, clothes, or provisions- Such is the news circulating in town, and which un fortunately is probably too true. It is to be hoped, how - ever, it will not be confirmed in its full extent. It it Said that the President of Hayti has given orders to the phySicians and offieers of health attached to the hospital, to set off this evening and give their assistance to the unfortunate victims of this disaster. The earthquake which proved so disastrous in Hayti it appears extended to the Island of Porto Rico—as Captain Brown, of the schooner Franklin, arrived yes terday from Mayaguez, reports that on the 7th inst., a very severe shock of an earthquake was felt there ; fur two minutes the ground moved dike the waves of the sea, and the inhabitants fled to the sea-side to take boats fur the shipping. There was not, however, much da mage done. Captain Gould, of the brig Maria J. Estelle, arrived last evening from Guayanilla, states that there was a slight shock of an earthquake felt at that place on the same day. TIIE BOUNDARY QUESTION. (From the Boston Atlas.) NORTHERN EASTERN BOUNDARY.—MAINE LEGISLA TURE.—We have received the folloxing letter from our obliging correspondent at Hallowell. The proceedings of the Maine Legislature are deserving of great com mendation. We entertain little doubt, now, that the Boundary Question will be .speedily and satisfactorily adjusted. The Board of Commissioners appointed on the part of the State of Maine are intelligent and judi cious men, and we have no doubt they will do all they can towards a pacific arrangement of the questions sub mitted to them :- - ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS. HALLOW ELL, MAY 25.—1 am gratified to announce to you the fact, that the Report of the Committee, re commending the choice of Commissioners to treat with the General Government upon the North-Eastern Boun dary question, and investing them with full powers, has pr ssed the House of Representatives, in concurrence with the Senate, with but eleven dissenting votes. This day, at twelve o'clock, both branches of the Legislature met in Convention, and selected with great unanimity the, following gentlemen to act as Commissioners, viz., Hon. Edward Cavanagh, and Col. John Otis, of he Senate, Judge Preble of Portland, and Hon. Edward Kent, of Bangor. The selection is a judicious one, and ,gives great satisfaction. The gentlemen designated are admi rably qualified to discharge the trust confided to them and while, on the one hand, they will guard the rights and honour of Maine, they will present no factious -op position to an honourable arrangement of the important question in controversy. The people of this Siate are anxious that this vexed question should be settled, and never was a more favourable opportunity than the pre sent to accomplish that object. LATEST FROM MEXICO. - We have been favoured with Mexican papers, and the perusal of letters from Vera, Cruz to the 11th of May. Great complaint is made of the dullness of trade and hard times in that country. sickness prevailed in the city of Vera Cruz, and also among the shipping. On the 21st of April Mr. Ellis bad his audience of leave, and General Waddy Thompson was presented to President Santa Anna, as Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States near the Government of Mexico. The papers publish what was said on the occasion, and the tone of all parties contrasts singularly with that of some of our contemporaries in this country. SPEECH OF MR. ELLIS.-Mr. President—l am in structed by the President of the United States to lay before your Excellency my letter of meal as accre6ted Minister near this Government. In like manner, he has directed me to assure your Excellency that .my Government is - parti cu l ar l y desirous of cultivating 'and maintaining with the Mexican republic the most friendly and frank relations. That our p o li c y i s th at o f j ust i ce and peace with all nation!, and that tha policy will be manifested whenever the occasion may call for it. Before taking leave of your Excellency, I beg leave to express my ardent hopes that your estimable spouse may soon be restored to health ; and, in the meanwhile, I wish your Excellency to enjoy every felicity that can rail to the lot of the illustrious head of a great nation, labouring to rix,her political institutions on a basis that may secure the happiness and prosperity of the country. offer to your Excellency my sincere thanks for the release of Mr.- Houghtaling, and still hope that your Excellency will have the goodness to permit the other • citizens of thelinited States I named in our interview on the 14th to accompany me on my return home. REPLY OF PRESIDENT - SANTA IS with deep and sincere feelings 1 learn that your Excellency h as 1 .,_ ceived his letter of recal, and nothing consoles me so much as the-knowledge that your successor is worthy of filling your place. The sentiments you have expressed in the name of vOur Government, are very 'gratifying, for I always 'eished that our sister, the, great republic cf the 'North, •should preserve and cherish the most frank, sincere, 3nd friendly relations with Mexico, and that the latter should' demonstrate by her actions a disposition to reci procate with the same good will. I appreciate, as I ought, the delicacy and kindness of the interest you take, in my spouse, and I cordially receive your wishes for my success as the head of this noble and generous nation. Anxious to oblige an illustrious citizen of the United States, who, through.you communicated his prayer for the liberation of Mr. Hough taling, I concede it with great pleasure. more especially as I wish to give's solemn and public testimonial of the esteem you have gained by a conduct alike wise, prudent, and noble. I promise you, then, that you shall return to your country with the six citivens of the United States, who have not yet obtained the benefit of liberation. I hope, sir, your government will duly estimate my sentiments, and the conduct on your part, that has merited the friendship and esteem of the Mexican nation. _ _ On the 9th of April, a fire broke out in the town of Tehuantepec, by which 206 houses, and many goods and chattels were destroyed. Preparations are making in all the departments of Mexico, for the election of members of Congress. On the result, or the character of the men elected, mainly depends the stability of Santa Anna's power. General Houston's proclamation, declaring the ports of Mexico in a state of blockade, produced consWerable excitement when it reached Mexico. Not few, or mild, were the epithets applied to the Texians ; and the in terference of France and Spain to annul the blockade seemed to counted on. In the papers we have, any more than the letters we have seen, there is no allusion made to England, the ses sion of the Californias, &c.— 'e Orleans Com ier. MURDER IN MEXICO. On the morning of the 29th of April, the city of Mexico was thrown into the highest excitement by a re port that Mr. Egerton, a landscape painter of great talents, had been inhumanly murdered at Tacuhaya, together with a woman with whom he lived as his with —of rare personal attractions, and who also possessed high endowments as a landscape painter. Tacuhaya is a small village some three miles from the city of Mexico, and is a place where many families of distinction reside, especially in summer. The palace of the Archbishop is also in Tacuhaya, as well as the summer palace of Santa Anna. It seems that on the evening of the murdei, Eger ton and the'unfortunate woman were walking in a large garden attache:l to their residence, as was their cuitom. While walking they were attacked by some person or persons unknown, and both of them murdered. The body. of Egerton was found some distance from that of the Woman, run through ap parently with a sworl Near him was found his walking stick much hacked, from which it is evident he made a stout resistance. That of the Woman was found, also stabbed and otherwise horribly mangled, and this induces to the belief that she also, resisted to the last. She was enciente at the time, and within a short period of her delivery, and the perpetrator abused her in the most shameful manner before taking her life. Her face was scratched and otherwise much disfi gured, and a. large piece was bitten from her breast ; and the perpetrator, probably fearing that he might not be recognised, wrote her name upon a piece•of paper, and pinned it to a fragment of her dress, the m6st of it having been tore off in the struggle which ended in her death. The formation of the letters of her name - were plainly English, and :this cireumstanca renders it certain that the murder t% as neither planned nor matured by Mexicans. Dlr. Packenham, the British Minister had exerted himself to the ut most to arrest the perpetrators of these horrible murders, and he had also been assisted by General Valencia and the Mexican authorities ; but up to the latest dates no clue to the authors had been discovered. As no robbery was committed, as the watch and money in the pockets or. Egerton, together with the jewel lery of the unfortunate woman were left untouched, it is almost certain that the act, by whomsoever com mitted, was one of revenge. Egerton had a wife and family in England, and some two years since eloped with the murdered woman. Hu has since lived with her as - his wife. Rumour also has it that this female was engaged to a young man in England at the time of the elopement. Whenever Egerton left his residence at Tacuhaya, he locked her up, and never permitted her to go out except in his com pany. Thbk,circumstance was undoubtedly well known• to the perpetrator of the murder. The whole affair is shrouded in mystery, and thousands of spe culations are afloat in Mexico in relation to it. .The one which receives the most credence is, that the murder was planned in England, - and earned out by some acquaintance of the woman as a matter of revenge. Another story is, that Egerton had been involved in an amour with some fair Mexican ; but this received but little:credit. Time only will solve the mystery.—N. 0. Picayune. INSOLVENT CO URT---(T HIS DAY) IN RE DANIEL BRITTEN. The insolvent's petition to be discharged was opposed by Mr. WOODRUFFE. The Learned Counsel said the grounds of opposition could be best understood by givinh a short outline of the case previous CO calling evidence. In the year 1824 the insolvent became a bankrupt for a sum of about 25,0001., and soon after the issuing of the fiat got his certificate in consequenee'd the petitioniiig creditor, who proved for 24,0001., having agreed to sign. In 1831 a docket was again struck against him, and the statement he made in his schedule was to the effect, that he was made a bankrupt at the instance of Messrs. Perrot and Watts, with whom he carried on business in partnership as a calenderer and packer in Lenter street. Since the time of his - declaration of bankruptcy be had caused proceedings to be taken ao-ainst the as signees in Chancery, - in -the Vice-Chancellor's Court in the Court of Review, and in the Exchequer and Com mon Pleas, by hieh theywere put to law costs exceeding ,2,sooL—he cueing in many. of the cases in fornla pauperis. ' . Chere' were certain houses in Basinghall-street which welt? morigaged for a sum of 2,0001., and the counter parts of the feases of which were held by the insolvent, o by some person in trust for him, and which Mr. Woodruffe contended should be handed over to the as signeeS under the fiat of baunkruptcy, as well as certain household furniture accounted for before he should be entitled to his discharge by this Court. After evidence had been adduced, The insolvent said that the property alluded to by the opposing counsel, was held under a deed of gift from his father in the first instance, and that a will had been.sub sequently made by which the right became vested in his (ink)lvent's) wife. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said he should order the case to stand adjourned; in order to procure the attend ance of the holder of the counterpart leaks. Two days' notice to the creditors would be required, and the schedule to be revised in the meantime. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) BUCKINGHAM PALACE, JUNE 14.

This afternoon the home trade operated freely in Coffee sub ject to 6d per lb duty ; but in Cape sorts little business was transacted either for home consumption or shipping, the deter mination of Government having produced much dulness in the market for these sorts.

A message from the Commons ako appeared at th e hi, and reque'stedit copy of the evidence taken before their Lordships on the second reading of Ashton's Di vorce Bill-Ordered. THE PROPERTY-TAX. - 7 - The Duke-• of WELLINGTON moved the Order of the Day for the House to go into Committee. upon the Property-tax Bill. The'Earl of RADNOR wished to have it clearly un derstood that there would be an.opportunity of dis cussing the, principle of the Bill on Friday, on the question of the third reading. The Duke of -WELLINGTON. replied that most certainly Noble Lords opposite would not be pledged to the Bill by consenting to its passing through Committee, and - that the diseussion would be taken on the third reading.. - The .- Marquis of - CLANIIICARDE expressed his regret that there was nut - opportunity for two evening's discussion. Lord .REDESPALE said, that it would be very con venient if any Noble Lord, who could put the House in possession of tl:e Noble Marquiss's (the Marquiss of Landsdowne's) resolution, would do so, in order that they might be precared to discuss it new. Lord BROUGHAM was sure that his Noble Friend, the Marquiss of Landsdowne, would have no objection to such a course being taken. After sours conversation, Lord.DUNcANNON moved for lea* e to lay a copy of the resolati on on the table. _ _ The motion was agreed to, and the copy laid 'on the table After seine further copservation, the Bill went through Committee, and was rep6rted without amendment. DOCKY.4BI)' EMPLOYMENT. The Earl of -.MINTO gaue notice that on Monlay next eizsilnios and sb uld-nioli v et:or a -return of all monies pair' to the rihtseruPloyed at her Maj es ty' s dockyard at Woolwich, from the Ist -April; 1 . 841, to the Ist April, 1842. The MarqUis of CLANRICARDE wished to ask a question of her Majesty's, Government relative to a Com- 1 Mission which he had . learnt from the newspapers, was to have L ndon for Tipperary, and to open there on the 27th. The assizes commenced at Tipperary on the 24th, and though he highly approved of striking terror into malefactors, he must say that if that were the case— if the Commission were not to be opened till the 27th, the Commission would have the appearance of a gross job, the expense of which to the country he had heard estimated at 3,0001. He wished to ask the Government when the CoMmission was to open at Tipperary, when the Leinster Circuit commenced, .and whether any esti mate of the probable expense of the Commission had been forwarded to the Government ? The Duke of WELLINGTON said if the Noble Lord would give notice of any question which he intended to ask, he would endeavour to answer it ; but in the ab sence of such notice, be must decline giving au answer at present to the questions which had been proposed. . The Earl of WICKLOW said the information of the Noble Marquis could not be correct, as there were no Judges to go upon the Commission, they being all on the Circuit. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, ilitluA was the case, the whole of his accusation fell to the ground. But he did not make an accusation ; he asked the ques tion for information. Lord WHAUNCLIFFE thought that the Noble Lord ought to have given the Government time to inquire, be fore he-accused them of a job. Lord MONTEAGLE expressed his satisfaction at the course taken by the Government. Lord FITZGERALD said he was not the Houfe at the time the Noble Marquis made his statement, but from what he had heard, he must say that he was much surprised at what he was reported to have said upon this subject. After the many murders and assassinations which had taken place—assassinations which had dis graced Ireland more than it was ever disgraced before— he-could hardly have thought that the Noble Marquii would have designated• a Commission on the subject a job. .He ( Lord Fitzgerald) thought the Government are entitled to great credit for having lost no time in ap pointing that Commission. The Earl of RADNOR said the Noble Marquis did not say the commission was a gross job, what he said ‘ , /ts that it' is hat he had heard was true, then it was a gross job, and he - therefore asked for information on the subject. " After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARDE and the Earl of GLENLL the conversation dropped. POOR-LAWS. Loral WYNFORD presented several petitions on the subject of the Poor laws, and read one of them at length; but in such a tone that scarcely a word, not even the de signation of the petitions, or the precise object of their prayers; could be heard in the gallery.

Mr. FERRAN]) gave notice that when this Bill went into Committee, he should move that no person holding the situation of Clerk of the Board of Guardians, should in any way interfere in the election of the Board of Guardians. NEW WTRIT FOR BELFAST., Mr. B. HUGHES presented a petition from Berast, impugning the veracity of Cropper, who, in a peti tion some time ago presented to.the House of Commons, had reflected on the* character of Mr. Emerson Tennent. Mr. SHAW then rose to move •the issue of a new writ for the borough of Belfast. He did so with reluctance, as he was aware that he was interrupting important public business. He entirely concurred with the opinion expressed by his Right Hon. Friend, at the head of the Government, that in c\ses of this kind the House ought to act judicially, and without party feelings ; it was entirely in that spirit he brought the present case under consideration. The facts of the case were very short ; on Friday, the 3d of June, the Election Committee reported • to the - House that the sitting Members fur Belfast were not duly elected, and that the last election for - that borough was a void election. On that night the Right Hon: and Learned Gentleman, the Member for the county of Cork, gave notice that he would move for a Committee of Inquiry into the subject, and Consequently there was a suspension of the writ. But it was remarkable that, in . the 'notice cf the Right Hon. Member, no men tion whatever was , . made of bribery. He founded his motion entirely on personation and • - perjury. , He would not refer to the petition that had, been pre sented to the House ;. it appeared that the only feet Mr. Cropper was in a condition to prove was, that after leav ing Canaroon, he set up a public-house in Belfast, and that there he had received a bribe of SCL : The Henonr able and Learned Member might prove the perjury and personation--twogreat crimes—but it -would ap pear • that the -.beau- -fide constituency were the in jured, and not the offending party,—(Hear, hear.) If such a course were pursued it would be utterly de structive of the character of that House. He did not otject to the most searching investigation into all eases of bribery, and into the most exemplary -punish ment being inflicted on all those found guilty. Pre vious to the present Session it had been the established rule of the House, not to suspend the issue of any writ unless general bribery had been reported to the Reuse, and the House proposed to legislate upon the subject— or unless alarming riots • existed in the borough at the time.. The present case certainly was not in the latter category. During the present Session, however, the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath had introduced a new kind of law on the subject, which he (Mr. Shaw) might perhaps be permitted to call the law of compromise. He thought that the House had gone rather too far in suspending writs upon the unsupported allegation of the lion. and Learned Member. Ile was not aware that the Hon. and Learned Member had even averred his own. knowledge of the existence of the facts. He was,' how ever, free to confess that the notoriety of the cases to which the lion. and Learned Member had directed the a tt e nti o n of the House certainly seemed to .-jus tify the interference of the House. But his argument was, that even admitting the law of compromise, as laid dOwn by the Right Hoe. and Learned Member for Bath, there was nothing in common between the cases of Belfast and Nottingham. In the 'ease of Not tingham, the Election Committee had decided contrary to the prayer of the petition, that the Sit:ing Members had been duly elected. In the present case, in pursuance of the prayer of the election - petition, the Committee had declared the late • election void. They had now the same parties in the field as candidates at the ensuing election. Supposing the writ to issue, he apprehended that no person of Par liamentary experience would deny that, supposing the same parties to be returned, or to become petitioners in the case, all the matters that had occurred at the last election would be brought under the consideration of the Committee. .He had now stated all the facts of this case, and he would leave it in the hands of the House. H. begged only to submit to the good sense of Honour able Members, whether they should n'ot consider they bad already become sufficiently entangled in the suspension of writs, and the difficulties of appointing tribunals for inquiries of this nature. He was extremely anxious that the House should deal with the CUSP judicially, and without any party bias, nut condemning parties unheard, nor punishing the inno cent for the guilty. He desired to be guided by the general sense cf jhc House as to the propriety or ire propriety of granting the writ in this case. Lord SA.NDON said he should not rise for the pur pose of entering into the discussion, but simply for the purpose of reading a letter which (as we understood the Noble Lord) he had receilcd from the agents of the late Members for Belfast. It was to this effect :—" I am requested to stew, on behalf of Mr. Emerson Tennant and Mr. Johnstone, in reference to the late compromise of the Befast petition, that if any such arrangement was ever moue it was utterly without their concurrence, and without any con cert or understanding on the part. of either of them." Mr. O'CONNELLroee to move as an amendment, the appointment of a Select Committee to enquire whether a corrupt compromise had been entered into, for the purpose of avoiding investigation into gross and ex tensive bribery, and gross and corrupt personation of voters, and consequent perjury alleged to have been practised at the late election for Belfast. The House would perceive that there was not the least • at tempt to deny that a compromise had taken place. All that the letter contained was a denial that the parties to whom it referred were concerned in it. It had already been decided that a corrupt compromise was* breach of the privileges of that House, and the House must, therefore, either grant his motion, or declare that their former decision was wrong. The Hon. Member said all the questions in this case might be raised before the Select Committee. It was plain that they could not. They might go into the circumstances which would render that compromise advisable, but they cou!cl not by possibility inquire into the compromise itself. The bribery which had taken place was not confined to either party, but bribery had been committed by both parties. His statement was this—that he was informed by so Much of authority that it was impossible for him not to believe it, that it could be proved io the House that ex ceeding geese and extensive bribery took place at the last - election for Belfast—that there it had been au organised and systeMatie bribery, emanating from the Committee , room of the Conservative candidates, that one person ac tually got 401., another -5C1., and others different sums varyingfrom Lau pwards. He was also informed, and could prove, that personation of a most corrupt nature took place at the last election, that a list of those who at farmer elections voted for the Conservative candidates, .was actually stereotyped by an elector, and that although many of .thepasons on the list were dead, or were nut entitled to vote, persons were brought forward to per sonate them. He understood that those parties had been brought from Monaghan, that suits of clothes had been. purchased fie. them, that _disguises_ of every description had- been resorted to, and that a great deal of Quaker's apparel had been used for that purpose; that although presenting themselves, having no right to vote, they actually took the bribery and other oaths administered to electors ; that one person voted three times. He • (Mr. O'Connell) had • been furnished with the names of thirteen persons who had personated others. Witnesses had been brought to London to prove the facts he .had stated. The.case, therefore, stood for trial. Attempts, however, were made at Bel fast, unsuccessfully, to compromise the mutter. A case of compassion was attempted to be raised towards one of the sitting Members at Belfast. It was refused, and now he was in a condition to prove that a compromise had been entered into. The arrangements were this—first, that the sitting Members should be unseated, with -the co-operation of counsel upon both sides, upon mere matters of form ; and next, that the entire expenses on the part of the petitioners of appearing before the Committe e should be forthwith paid. He was ready to -prove that they had been either actually paid or. that they had been per fectly secured. - NoW let them loOk to the :Report of the Committee. They had not reported that the petition. on • the defence. of the return was frivolous or vexatious ; and of Coursee• • therefore, the costs could, not be - either 'party. But by the corrupt consprondee _which had been entered into, the costs of the petitioners were secured.. He. was able :to e prom these :fact& ; .and he had before him the petition of one of the person.; bribed. It, was said, however, that the partY owed money at.Car narvon, an&it seemed to be supposed: that whoever owed money at ,Carnerion. -- must be: a bad character. Dint was.the accusation against hinn but lies(Mr:43'Connell) - wanted to, knew : : whether e that was not, the Gentle man to whim one 'Of the sittingMensheiS wrote in affectionate terms, signing lejmeelf e " Mica - 14.0y; yoinie." —(A laugh.) These expreesieas he -would not have used to any _man whose character he did Rot think respectable. - 'But, at all events, that wels;a matter foie the :Committee to decide. - The - allegaticitia" were: not bit; err. U! - C's.) They had all. that they desire in the rase. In the instance brought rorward- by Ills Hen: . and Learned . Friend the Member - for Bath; his isiiereike was ptttele .this,' that .." he y..as totd, ar d hadi . been believed, and . Was. COD viec (1, ;ITifit:rliiriEoY., But they hed e More in the present O'Connell) had it het of witnesses would prove the facts. He hadAlietinct allegations' of a man of the name of. Cropper_ of the: existence of ..a compromise. - eHe 'stated. that. the sitting Members had agreed to pay -all the expenses of. that petition, - - and that. the inquiry into personation mid. bribery Was conse quently abandoned ; the underSteitiding ' between - the. parties being, that the return 'should. be - Worded on the sole ground of, illegal conductjtt the. poll. that one Member should be returned 'on each side, and that the new Tory -amber should be Mr. E. Tennant. Now, Mr. Tennant Ead comeforward. with a declaration setting himself free from the compromise ; - but did. he tell the House that his petition was not, insured - ? Did he tell tem that it had not been. agreed on-that one Member • not coinciding with . him self in opinion should be also returned.? Did he . venture to deny that the arrangement in ques tion had not been made ? It was stated, no doubt, that there were several candidates in the field, but Mr. Ten nant did not say that he was not bound in honour to re frain from opposing the return of _one Liberal Member. Against the party who had made these allegations there was no charge by.whieh he •could he disparaged, unless it was a disparagement that he: had once been. in debt. He heard statements that enormous bribery had been committed at Belfast-e-that a compromise had been entered into, and that the electors were indignant that this compromise should have - taken plane. He heard it stated that the general feeling in Belfast was that the crime should_ he hunted out, and that the guilty party should. be punished, and that the fleets of hideous personation and multi tudinous • perjury • should be fully investigated. All he wanted was the Committee, .and he would leave in the hands of the House - what the composition of. the Committee should be whether it should be referred to the! Committee to which the other cases were referred, or whether separate one should be appointed. All he desired was, that what was done with regard to the Engl:sh cases, might be done with respect to the Irish one. What would be seid if this enquiry was refused ? He heard it said the writs were issued alternately—now blacks---now (Laughter.) Bi.t something wore would be said if the writ was issued in the present case. The writ aas not issued in the case of Nottingham, in which a Member of the late 'Administration was concerned, and .would coil trary course be pursued with respect to a Member of the present Government ?—(Cheers and laughter.) Both individuals were also in the same of fice—the Board of Control.—(" Hear, hear," and laughter.) And how could they allow a - - Committee to inquire in the one case, and refuse it in the other. That Gentleman, (Mr. L. Tennant) to be sure has pa tronized the Government—(Laughter)—for he says in his address to the electors of Belfast, " the best proof of my confidence in the present Government may be guessed from the fact that I have accepted office under them." — (Much laughter and cheering.) Mr. SHAW, who held what we believe was a copy of the address in his hands, said that was not contained in the address. _ Mr. O'CONNELL—Oh ! you have been sent a copy ei it.—k Laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was here handed a copy of the Address by Mr. M. J. O'Connell from which he read the extract as before, .amidst continued laughter and cheering. It seemed then that he (Mr. O'Connell) was lierfectly right.--7-(Loud . laughter.) It appeared then that- he patronised the 111mistry. Would the Ministry in return patronise him.—(Continued laughter.) He (Mr. O'Connell) had produced infinitely stronger documentary evidence than had been produced in the Notting ham case. The notoriety was as great as it had been in the Nottingham case. He had proved that by the newpapers. he had the information of • a greater . - ninnbcr of • witnesses to appeal to, he had the distinct assertion of the petitioner, and there fore he thought he Was perfectly justified as to the same stating that there was the strongest reason for believing that a corrupt compromise had taken place. - Then there was, in addition to all that, the evidence ofpecuniary cor ruption by the payment of all expenses, or what amounted by g iving security that such payment should take place. Be felt convinced that he shonld be able to prove the existence of bribery and corruption. He submitted that he had made out a case stronger than any of the English cases. If he had said any thing implying an idea that this case would be more leniently dealt with, because the party implicated be longed to the Administration. That was a conviction that he would altogether postpone for the present. — (Cheers and laughter.) He would therefore move, as an amendment, `.` For a Select Committee, to inquire whe ther a Corrupt compromise has been entered into, for the purpose of avoiding investigation into gross and exten sive bribery, and gross and corrupt personation of voters, and consequent pirjury, alleged to have been practised at the late election for Belfast." Sir 11. W. BARRON seconded the amendment. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Messengers from the Lords brought down (livers Bills. BELFAST ELECTION RESUMED. The SPEAKER having put the question, Captain POLHILL said that having been a Member cf the Belfast Election Committee, he hoped the Houee would hear with a few observations from him on the matter. He most readily and cordially supported the motion of his Honourable and Learned Friend (Mr. Shaw). He would state very . shortly the reasons why Tile evidence that came before them on that occasion was in his opinion clear, lucid, and free frcm anything . like proving bribery.—(lronical cheers from the Op position benches.) The grounds put forward by the Learned Counsel, and on which the Committee decided, were, first, the minority of certain of the deputy relieving officers, that they . had adminis tered the bribery oath, they being under age. That - circumstance a as of itself, both in his opinion and that of the Committee, fatal to the claim of the sitting Members. The second ground counted upon by the Learned Counsel was, that in a certain booth marked letter M, great delays were occasioned in bringing the tal lies up; the bribery oath was administered to almost every I. person that presented himself to vote, .except to a few respectable persons ; .and in this latter case, where the oath was not administered, A certain compromise was entered into, of grant" inm a delay of three minutes, so as to equalise the position of the contending parties. Upon tbo counts his mind had been made up, and they formed the. grounds fi,r the dtciAon come to by the Committee. Be hoped, then, that the Right •Hon. Baronet at the hec,d of her Majesty's Government would support the mot:on of his Right Hon. Friend. • Sir H. W. BARRON said he was empowered ta' state to the House the names of the two parties. who had made the compromise, and the amount of money they were to have been paid. Th o peisori'who acted on behalf of 'the Tory Members was Mr. J. M`Neile, and the manger on the part of the peti' tiont.rs was Wm. Cander ; the money that was to WO been paid for preventing the case from going before the Committee, and keeping back the evidence was 600/. down, and a further sum of 4001., It•it solely t° the arbitration of a gentleman resident in Belfsst ; he need not give the name of that gentlenotn, who 11... d not properly been mixed up vrith the business, but if the facts were denied, he was pre pared to give it. The other two Gentlemen had cow promised the Bowe, and had stultified the Committee of which the Hon. and Gallant Officer was a member:, Why it would be ridiculous. It was a solemn and ri4k , - coleus, but a very thin-veiled farce. The whole faa.t s. In come before the public, and were notorioaS to, every club in London. He had- heard • 44 ° names sod facts stated by several parties. ( t x* of them was now living- at the Berlinge,. hotel. Let him be called to the, s= of the House and examined upon oath. Lo t call to the bar of the House John M`Neil, who bartg . for the Tory candidates, and see whether he wetut4 that he was a party to that compront*, , Stt the money was paid, or promised to be paid, and that P . acted for those candidates. If, after suspenOlgrtt writ in the case of • -Nottingham, they xetliklw to suspend it , here, there would be an end of- P . oe, an end of common sense, and• they . would be attettll4 4 w the grossest, delusion, but a delusion which weulstli pass current with the most thick-headed dolt who , 00 • their proceedings.—(Hear.) After a few words from Sir R. Peel, Lord J. Rusag and other Nembers, the house divided, when theca appeared= For issuing the Writ Against Msjority against issuing the Writ —47 ' 3 (LEFT SITTING.) ,A DEATH OF OW:ARNOLD, OF RUGBY.. We announce, with sincere regret, the death of the . vt , t; t e Thomas. Arnold, D.D. e llead Master of Rugby School, t on , took place at Rugby, on Sunday morning ;ast, after a few hn d " illness, of a disease of tie heart. Dr. Arnold, was well 00.'7 as one of the most distinguiehed writers and profound clar i fi . scholars of the day. His edition of " Thucydides," 50 1 we fear, unfinished " History of Rome," are works w hich always hold a high place in our literature. Besides these have hie Sermonsand Miscellaneous Works, and his recent $ lication of the lectures delivered by him at Oxford in bida -: city of Professor of Modern History in that University. • e i: it would be great injustice to Dr. Arnold's memory to aPrtle,. him merely as a scholar and a historian. During therfiSie years he has been Master of Rugby School, he has ziot"" — governed that institution with admirable a'iility and 04e .4 cess, but few men have done so much . towards raieitio the standard and the character of education itself in t of country. No man was ever more beloved by his pupils'ol by his numerous acquaintances ; nor has the death of , jr , given a more severe shock to his family and friends.. ' re Arnold was remarkable for the uniform sweetness, the Pa tieD , et Val forbearing me. kness, of hie disposition . He was an In ,',", s e rt ; Christian the bad passions might almost be said to have '` ie l omitted by nature in his constitution. But his :truth s o f hoeesty were unflinchingly regardless of his owninterest c, temporary consequences : he followed truth with a rate t.. ness of purpo - e and simplicity of heart. Dr. Arnold - +' fte e ' tached from principle to the Whig party, and has been ° bil 6, 'considered as very near promotion to the episcopal bench;. o f that such was not his own wish we have the best mealeis knowing. The learned Docter bad latterly de votedthe whole: y e time unoccupied by scholastic duties to his Lectures on 1 ‘ 1 „•s History arid to his His!ory of Rome, and was conternplatlle e retirement, in the course of a few years, to his favourite sidence at Fox-how, in Westmorland.
