eiltir boy going into Committee on the Poor Laws' An l .ndment Bill, A;r. C OBBE TT rose to bring forward an amend taeot of which he had given notice— ,' That there be laid before this house an account of all klaries, allowances, printing expenses, expenses of messen and expenses of every description occasioned by the oor Laws' Commission ; also a statement whether any cif th e Commissioners hold other commissions, or fill any °feces for which they receive pay out of the public purse, 51 4 !eifying what commission or what office, and also speci luig the sum or sums so received ; and stating further, whether the secretary to the commissioners holds any other Publi c ' post of emolument, and what post, and the amount such emolument." The hon. gentleman said the object of his amendment Was to show what kind of stuff they had to pay for, tad how the money of the people was spent. In his opinion the commission had not cost less than 60,000/. : aticl what were they to have for that great sum of money? Why, a great number of volumes of nonsense ''-mere nonsense. H e sa id it was u tt er l y i m possible Tor any man in that house to come to any fair or honest decision upon the noble lord's bill until he had read the evidence that accompanied the report of the com missioners. This report and evidence consisted of I °,ooo folio pages, every word of which ought to be read and well considered. It was physically impos- Cile members could attend to the details of this bill. To read and understand the report it would take up at least 365 days. Who could that had any business SPend so much time ? This was a pretty sample of What might be expected from a reformed Parliament. Any other Parliament but a reformed Parliament Would have acted better. ( Hear.) Nobody could lay but that the acts of the reformed Parliament left !ouch to be desired. Every body who was capable of Judging would see that in the acts of the Whigs there Was nothing but muddling confusion. He considered that the whole matter was a job between the Govern ment and the commissioners. The point he wanted to arrive at was this : would Ministers refuse to give fl account of what this commission had cost ? Would the noble lord agree to that return being Lord ALTHORP—To be sure I will. Mr. COBB E TT—To be sure he will. ( Laughter. ) Does the noble lord then agree t o m y mot i on ? ( A la ugh. ) Lord A LTHORP (touching his hat)—Yes. Mr. COBBETT—Oh ! then you know I shan't 'Peak any more. The noble lord agrees to my mo tion. (Laughter. ) Mr. T. ATTWO OD seconded the motion. The amendment was then agreed to. The house then resolved itself into committee on tho bill. The discussion on the 46th clause was then resumed. Mr. HARDY said he thought it right that the 1 4erseers of the poor should be allowed to extend relief to all cases of emergency, and he should, therefore, mov e as an amendment on the clause that at the end 4 1 th e 18th line, after the words " overseers and guar w; the words "be empowered to give such relief f orthwith" should be inserted. Lord Althorp, Sir G. Philips, Mr. Pease, Mr. Benett, and Colonel Wood said a few words for and I gltinst the clause. Sir rf.FiIgiiANTLE thought that the present as one of the most important clauses in the bill, and if they did not fence it round with securities it would °e constantly broken through. If they left a discre tionary power to the overseer they would return back to th e state of thinks now complained of. Th e amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. HALCOMB said that he had an amendment t 4 Propose, to the effect that fishermen should be en 14,bled to obtain relief without being sent to the work 'ouse. The clause stated that the overseer should 40t give relief to able-bodi e d men ou t o f the work °use, but he (Mr. Halcomb) th oug ht th a t an excep tisk% should be made in favour of th e i n d us t r i ous body " had alluded to. Lord ALT HORP saw no necessity for making any "ange. Of course th e case o f f i shermen, as the c n alles of oth ers , wou ld come un d er t h e attention of the - '"Tntnissioners, to whom a discretionary power was Intru sted. Mr. WARD objected to the exception in this case. Mr. GROTE said that he was surprised that hon. I llembers were not ashamed in persisting in making r ibjections of this nature, which had been so often re- 16. COBBETT was astonished that the committee 11( lould listen to a clause like the present. It was most t ' b ieetionable on every ground. The truth was, hon. gentlemen were anxious to have a system of poor laws "`miler to that in Scotland adopted in this country. a n e intended to make some observations on that point, Vlid regretted the absence of th e h on . mem b er f or 'ddlese x , who was always away wh en h e s h ou ld b e L ' his place. The hon. member then proceeded to rea d aa-extract from the report of the commissioners °f the p oor laws on the subject of Scotch poor laws. Sir J. WROTTESLE Y called the hon. member 4 _ til Order. He wa s t a ki ng up t h e t i me o f the commit ‘" With a subject having no connection with the clause ti nder consideration. Mr. - COBB E TT contended that he was not more Qta of order than the noble lord ( Althorp). Sir J. WROTTESLE Y said if the noble lord had f or o u t of order, it did not j ust if y t h e h on. mem b er " 31 ' also being out of order. M r . COBBETT said that he would reserve to kloth er opportunity the bringing forward all matters ;kaanected with Scotland, as they at present refused to • him elucidate the subject of poor laws in Scotland. 4 his empire was compose d of three countries ; in one theyth e had all meat an d beer, and knives and forks ; i n he second oatmeal brose ; and in the the third there w ere p otatoes, seaweeds, and paws. ( L aug h ter.) t he first country, namely, England, there had been Poor laws for 140 years ; in Scotland there had been „ II defective state of poor laws for a century and a half; . "'d in the third there were no poor laws at all. Hon. 1 1 11 ,einbers at presen t w i shed to assimilate the first with to second, and in a s h ort time they would endeavour lo assimilate the two first with the last. Mr. BAINES opposed the amendment. It was then withdrawn. kr. TO WE R proposed a proviso, to the effect that " 4 able-bodied man having a wife and family should compelled to lodge in the workhouse as the sole :°odition of his receiving relief, if he be willing to h -4 PPort himself by cultivating a small allotment of land, ,r t ,Ovlded the expense the parish was put to by such tha t L was not greater than the interest of the money 44'14 would be required to convey him and his family to Y of his Majesty's colonies. lions Lord ALTHORP agreed that allotting small por of land to the poor would be a great advantage, di g as that was a matter which ought to be left to the th is of the landlord he could not consent to have Is proviso added to the clause. T s l.to motion was then put and negatived without a hill. P and the clause agreed to stand part of the The 47th, the appeal clause, was also agreed to. tOn the 48th cl ause (d eclaring that no relief should e given except by the Boards of the Guardians of the oor) being put, , In reply to a question f rom Si r T. F REMANTLE \Who was inaudible in the gallery), ceder ALTHORP said that whe re th e par i sh was 'lder the provisions of this act—that was, under the rernment of a select vestry or a board of the guar_ toffs of the poor—a Magistrate would have no power w order re li e f t o b e g i v en to a pauper out of the : r kilouse hut where that was not the case, the it Wer of Magistrates would be precisely tne same as Ovia at pre sent. th se WILLOUGHBY said that as he construed .e clau it did not appear as if any relief was to be ll'as i ve n to th e aged poor in those parishes where there no workhouse Lord ALTHORP admitted that the clause would w e• re t o h ave the effect attributed to it by the hon. ` 4 ronet. Where no workhouses existed the power of "dering relief would continue in the magistrates, but There there were workhouses the magistrates would Ae deprived of th a t power. The effect of this would to restore parishes to the condition in which they ere previous to 1796, wh en the situation of the poor 4 i so much better than it had b een at any subsequent Per od. Mr. P. SCROPE did not think it would be expe oletiLto deprive magistrates of a power which had for hPwards of three hundred years been vested in their fi c i a t and which they had always exercised so bene the s i for the poor. In fact that power constitut e d w er `cority of the poor to the relief to which they entitled, and therefore he called upon the °Use to pause and consider well before they took IlwaY fr om s ory po !magistrates an astringent and compd.. voluntarwyeriorin ctiosreder to substitute in . its place a ,r?tionary power, which, owing to the hands in Which it was to be placed ' , would 13 ,! likely to w He admitted thaotrkthunfavourably towards the poor. Poor under the administration of relief to the atosteyroiafl sanction had been very finch bused, especiall kared that, for the space late r years, yet, as it . sp ot th e pauper . to such eftrelh ee centuries, the rights had been admitted and provided for in the strongest terms by act of Parlia ment, he thought it u n j u st to deprive him of it entirely. He should, therefore, conclude by moving a proviso to the present clause, reserving a power to two justices at petty sessions to order relict, after complaint on oath by the pauper, and summons and hearing of the over seer ; and that the word " exclusively " be omitted. Lord AL THOR P said that the amendment pro posed by the hon. member for Stroud tended directly to alter the principle of the bill in a very important feature. The power of the magistrates to order tem porary relief to the pauper had b een l ong re c ogn i se d by act of Parliament, but he believed it to be generally admitted that that power had not been always very discreetly used. It was under this impression that the framers of the present bill had thought it better to take away the power from persons who, from the very best motives of humanity, had too often misapplied it. The hon. member for Stroud thought that the present clause would cause an act of injustice by depriving the pauper of his vested right to relief in case of need. He (Lord Althorp) certainly did not think it would be found to have any such effect ; nor did he think that in its administration it would be productive even of that harshness which the hon. member had antici pated. If he recollected rightly on the occasion when he (Lord Althorp) opened this question to the house the sense of the house was almost unanimous on this point, and agreed in admitting the principle that ma gistrates should be deprived of the power of compelling relief, except in the workhouse. That was certainly his (Lord Althorp's) opinion, and under that convic tion he was opposed to the amendment now proposed to the clause under their consideration. Sir T. FREMANTLE said a few words in support of the amendment. Mr. SLANEY thought that, under existing cir cumstances, it would be advantageous to have some very limited power of the kind in the hands of the magistrates. Mr. G ROTE opposed the amendment. After a few words from Mr. HALCOMB, Mr. EWART, and Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, which were very indistinctly heard, Sir M. W. RIDLEY opposed the amendment. He thought there should be left open a field for the exercise of private charity, and he thought that a dis cretionary power should be left to the Select Vestries to grant relief. After some brief remarks from Mr. LLOYD, Colonel WOOD, and Major HANDLEY, which from the noise in all parts of the house were utterly unintelligible to us, Mr. COBBETT said that he should be sorry to strip the magistrates of the last remnant of their autho rity, for that authority should be upheld. Their duties in the administration of the poor laws were not worse discharged than in other cases. Take away their superintendence in the case of the poor laws, and they would sink into insignificance and be exposed to scorn. (Murmurs of disapprobation, and a sound like that of a whistle.) Gentlemen may whew and whistle, but those unseemly noises in that house would not restore to them their power or to the people their protection. (Cheers. ) Sir E. KNATCHBULL would oppose the amend ment, yet he did not think the magisterial influence would be so sunk as the hon. member had imagined. ( Here the hon. member paid a high tribute of praise to the magistracy. ) Lord AL THO RP said that the evils anticipated by some hon. members could not occur. Mr. COBBETT said that paid overseers caused most of the insurrections of the country. Their ty ranny went so far as to tear the hair off the heads of girls. __ _ Mr. HA L CONIB said he was present at the trials in Winchester, and the contrary of the hon. member's (Mr. Cobbett) statement was proved. (Cheers.) Mr. COB B ETT said the hon. member had en tirely forgotten that the liberal Whigs had brought him to trial upon the confession of Goodman, and that they had been most completely defeated. The hon. member had also forgotten that 111 respectable per sons of Battle had signed a document disproving the statement of Goodman. Farther, it was proved that Goodman had set fire to two or three of the five ricks out of private malice. The hon. member ought also to have stated that the confession was obtained from Goodman, and that it had been clearly proved that the orthography of the confession was markedly different from that of Goodman's private communications to his friends. Did not the hon. member, too, know that Goodman, guilty as he was, had been pardoned, for he signed the confession while another convict, far less culpable, had been executed ? ( Hear, hear.) The time might yet come when he would prove that cer tain persons in Battle had actually received money from the liberal but beaten Whigs for taking part in that base conspiracy. ( Hear, and a laugh.) • Mr. GORING said he had had the original confes sion in his possession all last session. Mr. COBBETT asked if the hon. member saw Goodman write it ? ( A laugh.) Mr. GORING said the High Sheriff of the county only could have seen that. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 25 Against it • 125 Majority —lOO Clause 48, as amended, was then agreed to. On clause 49 being proposed, Mr. HAL C 0 l B recommended a monthly publi cation of the names of all persons receiving relief from the rates. Lord ALTHORP said something which was in audible in the gallery. Mr. COBBETT said the proposition was hard hearted, and unworthy of an Englishman. Mr. HALCOAIB said his object was to promote independence. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 50 being proposed, Sir T. FREMANTLE recommended that the clause should be left out altogether, or that the word " ten," referring to the age of children dependant upon their parents, should be substituted for that of sixteen. Lord ALTHORP objected to leaving out the clause altogether, but would consent to substitute " twelve" for " sixteen." The amendment was then made and the clause agreed to. — Clause 51 was agreed to. On clause 52 being put, Lord AL THO RP proposed to strike out the pre amble, which was agreed to. On the suggestion of Mr. HAL COMB, an amend ment was introduced to prevent persons under 21 years of age being charged with debt to a parish on account of relief received. The clause as amended was agreed to. Clauses 53 and 54 were agreed to, and clause 55 was postponed. Clause 56 was passed with amendments, and clause 57 was postponed. Clauses 58 and 59 were passed. On the motion of Mr. W. WHITMORE, clause 60 was postponed on the ground of its importance, and that the lateness of the hour precluded any adequate discussion. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM stated that he had received from the outports so many communications relative to the Merchant Seamen's Bill which he deemed of import ance that he was induced to make many alterations in it. He therefore should move that the bill be com mitted pro forma, and that it be reprinted and taken into further c ons id eration that day se'nnight. The bill was accordingly recommitted further proceedings i‘ir. p LONDON oT N fi i :Do e d om f N o s r op F No r Friday the e t hpteou2l- is move in a committee i BILL. nst , and . he might of the whole house a resolution upon which i obtain leave to bring in a bill to alter th e p ort dues of London, and by which a saving of 40,0001. a year might be made to the trade. By the 39th and 42d Geo. 111. certain port dues were to be levied, in order to pay off an existing debt, and to form a fund fo r t h e expenses of the river and port of London, so that eventually the duties might be altogether removed. Ministers were now of opinion that the port dues ought to be reduced to the extent of only covering current expenses, and without any relation to accu mulating the fund. The bill had received the sanction of the shipowners of London. After a few words from Mr. YOUNG, the resolu tion was put and carried, and the hon. member ob tained leave to bring in the bill. COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. LITTLETON moved the order of the day for the second reading of the Court of Chancery ( Ireland) Bill. After a short discussion, in which the Solicitor- General, Mr. O'Reilly, Mr. Shaw, Mr. D. Browne, and Mr. Ruthven took a part, the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The Greenwich Hospital Annuity Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The report on the Weights and Measures (Ireland) Bill was brought up ; to be taken into further consi deration on Friday next. _ The Registry of Births ( Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BILL. Mr. EWART moved the third reading of the Capital Punishment Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the clause which subjected only to capital punishment those who entered a house with the whole of their bodies. It was well known that the most guilty per sons generally stood outside, armed, and assisted the less guilty to enter the house. Mr. BERNAL and Mr. LLOYD supported the bill. Mr. SHAW objected to the clause to which the Attorney-General alluded. Mr. E WART contended that although the bill might be open to some objections, it was, upon the whole, a great improvement in the law, and if the house would support him he would press it to a divi sion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the omis sion of the clause relating to burglary. The gallery was cleared, but we understood no di vision took place, but that the clause was omitted, and that the bill passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past one. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION, JUNE 13. The election having terminated last evening, the successful candidate, Mr. Spring Rice, appeared this morning on the hustings, for the purpose of returning thanks to the electors. The right hon. gentleman was attended by a large party of his friends, and a very considerable body of the electors assembled on the front of the hustings to hear him speak. On the making up of the books, the numbers ap peared to be— For Mr. Spring Rice 615 Sir Edward Sugden 590 giving Mr. Rice a majority of 25 over his opponent. Numbers of the electors at the hustings wore a laurel-leaf in their hats, as an emblem of their victory, and all were decorated with Mr. Rice's favours, com posed of light blue and buff colours. Beyond the line of the people a number of carriages, filled with very elegantly dressed ladies, took up their stations. The necessary preparations in closing the books and other forms having been gone through, The Mayor declared the state of the poll ; and on announcing the majority of 25 in favour of Mr. Rice, the cheering was very enthusiastic. Mr. RICE then presented himself, and was received with long-continued cheering. He rose, he said, under feelings of the deepest emotion and of grati tude, to return thanks to the electors of the town of Cambridge: for the great favour they had conferred on him in returning him ; and he could assure them that there was no individual who would discharge the im portant trust they had reposed in him with more zeal and fidelity•than he would. (Cheers.) He had ad dressed them frequently in the course of the election under alternate feelings of " hope and fear," and he now met them, he rejoiced to say, under one feeling —that of heartfelt gratitude and joy. (Cheers.) The independent electors of Cambridge deserved high cre dit for the manner in which they had acted on this occasion, for every means had been exercised to sway them in the disposal of their votes, and to corrupt them. They had nobly resisted those means, and had achieved a victory for themselves, their children, their friends, their town, and their country. (Loud cheers.) They had shown themselves worthy of the elective franchise which the Reform Bill had conferred on them, for they had used it as men ought to use it. (Bravo.) The experiment of intimidating and brib ing them had been made ; and had they allowed them selves to be corrupted they would have lowered them selves in the estimation of their oppressors, and have stood degraded in the eyes of their country. ( Hear, and applause.) If those means had succeeded what would be the use of the Reform Bill ? Sooner far would he see a man get into parliament by the purchase of Old Sarum, or rotten Gatton, than that such corruption should succeed under that bill ; and it would be a far less foul thing for a man under the old rotten system to get into parliament by paying 50,0001. for his seat, than for a man trying to get in under the present to offer 101. for a vote. This had been done, and nothing worse could have been attempted by an old Jew parliamentary broker. (Laughter, and much cheering.) He had been opposed by a most powerful body in the town, and if he could have con sented not to meddle with the abuses of certain insti tutions in the country he could have had the highest authorities in the town to canvass for him. He could have had the heads of the University, he could have had the Vice-Chancellor, and he could have had the Corporation. (Much laughter.) The electors of Cambridge proved that they were not to be influenced by gold. ( Cheers.) The right hon gentleman here asked what was that gentleman's name who was treated rather scurvily in the town on a former occa sion? (" Thompson, was the name," answered some of the meeting, which produced much laughter.) It was then the custom to say to the voters, " Don't dispose of your vote to-day, and you will get double for it to-morrow." (Much laughter.") He re gretted the threats that had been employed against those who supported him, but should any one of them be attempted to be carried into execution, let (said the right honourable gentleman) the persecuted in dividual call on me, and I now pledge myself in a solemn contract to them, that I will take up their case and bring it before the House of Commons, which will deal with those persons. ( Enthusiastic cheering.) He, however, hoped that the threats were idle, and that they would never be attempted to be enforced. He believed they were empty threats, and that they would not be carried into effect. He, however, trusted that the electors would disregard such threats in future, and that they would use the elective franchise which had been conferred upon them in a manner becoming freemen. ( Cheers.) He had heard much since he came there that established ties of connection between him and the electors, and to these ties were added the ties of the risk that they had run—the threats they had scorned • and the intimidating influence which they had nobly despised. (Cheers.) One point he could not but remark upon. A gentleman near him (the Mayor) had said, however the election might go, that he Sir E. Sugden and his party had all the ladies on their side. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Rice) thought not. The ladies, who were the only legitimate can vassers ( A laugh) and those against whom no man could say a word for any course which they might pur sue, had not been all on his hon. and learned oppo nent's side. But it was still contended that they were, sweethearts and wives ( Laughter), all for the Chancery lawyer, and none for the Irishman. ( Much laughter. ) He ( Mr. R.) might be now on his way toLondon but for the kindness of the ladies, to whom he owed much passive obedience ; and as far as the allegiance to them was concerned, if they would take the word of a veteran, he assured them that they would find in him a most faithful subject ( Laughter), and that there was no man who more valued or honoured them. He should return to his duties in Parliament deeply impressed with the responsibility which he owed to the consti tuency of Cambridge ; and he assured them that, in returning to official life, he would pay the most devoted attention to the interests of their town, and of the country. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) If his polling book could be anatomised under the present Reform Bill, and contrasted with the rotten proceedings on oc casions of this kind which preceded the Reform Bill, if there was one thing which would show more than another the improvement under the present system, he thought the exhibition they would present would do so. ( Hear hear.) He was now going away from the hustings, and he assured the electors that one of the first questions to which he would give his attention—one of the greatest importance to the town of Cambridge —would be corporation reform (Loud and long-con tinued cheering), and by the manner in which he would deal with that question, he would prove to them the sincerity of his pledge. ( Loud cheering.) He 1 hn ae r dn p t o r hadat i never o r e n - it condemned, ( would not b r i ng to t h e e l ectors, on h i s return to Cain bridge, a b oo k of evidence respecting the doings of their ad co bookL awhichLaughter) h although t e r 1 1) i ; s b h u o t nhh. he would a w r. ho d aud learnedld bring admitted g o t p h p eh o ne: an Act of Parliament, h w ic would insure them a protection of trust -property, a removal of abuses and waste of charities, and termination of " Rutland' clubs." (Laughter and cries of " Bravo.") He thanked the electors for the support which they had given him, and their return of him answered the often-repeated assertion that he would be now on his " Peterborough." (Laughter.) He would now give his hon. and learned opponent, Sir E. Sugden, leave to take that road. ( A voice from the crowd, " and let him go home to his own fireside,' " much laughter.) He ( Mr. Rice) was beginning to feel exhausted, and he again thanked the electors from his heart, and assured them that he was now about to return to his duties, gratefully and deeply impressed with a sense of their kindness towards him, and of their independence. The hon. member concluded by again acknowledging the deep responsibility of the duties which he had to discharge for the electors, and by re-assuring th em that he would discharge those duties with zeal and fidelity. (The conclusion of the right hon. gentle man's speech was marked by loud and long-continued cheering.) Mr. GUNNING then presented himself, and having congratulated the constituency on the choice they had made, said he now appeared before the electors as a voter under the Reform Bill, a situation prior to the passing of which he, in his wildest wishes, never sup posed he should stand ; for under the old system there were three ways of qualifying for a vote—one by pur chase, for which he was not rich enough—by service, for which he was too proud—and by arts and trickery, for which he was not capable. (Cheers.) After al luding to the threats which had been used during the election, Mr. Gunning observed, that in his canvass he called on a woman, and requested her to get her husband to vote for Mr. Rice. She said she should like to do so, but that, in consequence of his having done so on the last occasion, a noble captain had dis continued taking milk from them. (Laughter.) He would not say that captain was the mayor, who now stood near him. ( Much laughter.) Mr. FOSTER addressed the electors, and strongly impressed upon them the necessity of registering their votes, and the great care that they should take to see that they were properly registered. The time for re gistering them was quickly approaching, and he warned them not to allow any delay to take place. Mr. SKRINE observed that a cry had been raised about the pulling down of the• Church, but the only church they wanted to pull down was the old church of Barnwell. Sir Edward came down an almost "dead man" in a gallopping consumption (Laugh ter), and attended by no less than six doctors, which were enough, he thought not only to kill Sir Edward but to kill the devil ; and if they were not sufficient, he would recommend him " Morison's pills." (Much laughter.) Stones had been liberally shied in this contest, and he was himself struck by a large one which he had in his pocket. Gold dust had been pro fusely distributed from the " Charles-street" Ex chequer ; but if the agent of that party should again make his appearance in Cambridge, the electors would most certainly duck him in the river Cam. ( A laugh.) Mr. RICE said that he had just received a communi cation of which he felt very proud, it was, that the ladies of Cambridge had presented him two flags to be used in the procession on this occasion—the one exhibiting his paternal arms, and the other the arms of Cambridge. (The flags were very handsome, and excited universal admiration.) CHAIRING OF' MR. RICE. The business having concluded, the cavalcade in tended to accompany the right hon. gentleman in his procession, advanced in the most imposing order towards the hustings, where he was to enter the triumphant car. The cheering which marked his entry into the car was loud and long-continued, and on his looking around and bowing to his friends, as he stood erect in the car, the cheering was renewed in a most deafening and enthusiastic manner. The following was the order of the procession :- 4 The Marshal on horseback. Three Trumpeters on horseback. Chairman of the Committee. f, Gentlemen on horseback, three abreast. FL 5 G entl, . lags. Band. the Cor E . semen of the jmmittee, six abreast. THE TRIUMPHAL CAR, co In which was seated the Honourable Member. cz Electors, six abreast. Di FT; Carriages to close the Procession. The procession altogether was one of the most splen did pageants of the kind, perhaps, e v e r w it nesse d, an d the mutitude of persons forming it was surprising. The car in which the right hon. member was seated was beautifully and classically formed, covered all c) er with blue and buff silk, tastefully fluted, and decorated with rosettes. It was drawn by six blood horses, richly caparisoned, and conducted by three outriders, wearing rich silk dresses, composed of the right hon. member's colours. The horsemen, three abreast, and all wearing favours, numbered about 300. The musi cians and wand-bearers were numerous, and all deco rated with sashes and rosettes. The carriages, filled with very elegantly dressed ladies, all wearing the right hon. gentleman's colours in their bonnets, reached more than a quarter of a mile in lenv,tli. On the close of the chairing, Mr. Rice, accompa nied by Mr. Barrington, Mr. Empson, Mr. Humphreys, and another gentleman, entered his carriage, and pro ceeded to London. Sir Edward Sugden left Cambridge at the close of the poll on Thursday evening. The University printers, who had come up to vote for Mr. Rice, in the event of his election being in danger, were not polled. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

The meeting was brought to a close yesterday after four days' sport, the abundance of which must have satisfied the most greedy. Beyond this nothing can be said in its praise, for it has seldom happened that so great a number of races have been run without pro ducing even the semblance of a struggle, or on which so little excitement has been observed amongst sport ing men; the horses came together badly, and the fa vourites won all the principal stakes. In the manage ment of the races one fault only presents itself to us, and that is a serious one to those who have been ac customed to the clockwork regularity enforced by the Newmarket rules : we allude to the want of punctua lity in running, the last race on Tuesday being one hour and a half, and the last race on Thursday more than two hours after the time appointed for it. Many inconveniences arise from this inattention, and we have no doubt that it will be avoided next year. The Heath was but thinly attended yesterday, either by fashionables or general company, most of whom, what with the crowd on the Heath, and the rain on quitting it, must have had a sickener. The following is a list of the company present : The Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Grafton, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, the Marquis of Worces ter, Marquis Conyngham, the Marquis and Marchioness of Tavistock, Count Matuszevic, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl of Verulam, Earl of Lichfield, Earl of Jersey, Earl of Or ford, Earl of Stradbroke, Earl of Albemarle, Lord Sidney Osborne, L or d J o h n Fit zr oy, Lord G.

As we approach the Liverpool July Meeting, we find an increasing disposition to transact busiuess on the leading topic of the meeting. From the spe, culations made upon it for the last ten days, no doubt remains but that it will be eventually the most popu lar Cup event that has been run for in this division of the country for many years. A weight of money has been laid out on The Chancellor within the last week. which has " absolutely" placed him at the head of the poll. This, looking at hes weight (and the com plement of all but " feather weight'' to others in the race), is what few could expect to see.
