Calling in the aid of pencil to depict that which can only be but partially accomplished by the pen, we are but following the text of a learned writer, who has said that " we can convey to the mind by means of a picture those circumstances of relative situation, and peculiar interest, that no written description could ever achieve, but which the pencil must at all times materially enhance." The war in Affgh3nistan, the sad defeats and suf ferings of the British Army, and we hope its also glorious tri umphs, will open a wide field for pictorial representation, and our artists will not fail in their task. Foreign circarnstances, however, are but a slight feature in our gallery—the realities of London life, the physiognomy of its police courts, its theatres, exhibitions, public amusements, its out-door society, its daily in • creasing public buildings, its works of art—all that has the charm of novelty will be brought before the reader in a pictured form, and will give to the country resident that exact impression of London progress which no other Journal, by description alone can convey. Correspondences have been opened in each of our provincial towns to insure a quick transit of illustrations of all matters of interest. Racing and sporting scenes, rowing and sailing matches, military reviews, public festivals, cattle shows, and other agricultural assemblies, will be reported with the pencil as well as by the pen ; while, for the particular en tertainment of our fair countrywomen, engravings of the fashions, gardening, fancy needlework, sketches of public balls and concerts, will be from time to time provided. A vigorous tone will be adopted in politics, freed at the same time from all party views. Arrangements are made for giving with more than usual effect the fullest and latest reports of the Parlia mentary debates, public mee ti ngs , po li ce i nte lli gence, t h eatr i ca l information, &c. Critical reviews will be given of all British and Foreign literary publications of sterling interest. The latest accounts of mark e t s , & c ., w ith th e f u ll es t commerc i a l information, and all the usual contents. The illustrations are entirely confided to Messrs.

REPORT Op THl,' COUNCIL TO THE SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE • NATIONAL ANTLCORN-LAW LEAGUE, ..NIAY 11, 1812. The circumstances which have induced the Council to convene this Special Meeting of the Members of the League, and which they trust you will consider fully jus tificatory of such course, may b.e eery briefly stated. Subsequently to the adjournment of your Delegates assembled in the metropolis, millions of bread eaters have again petitioned the Legislature for justice, and have been cruelly answered by the re-enactment of an iniquitous bread tax. Each succeeding day of the intervening period has but aggravated the disastrous effects produced by monopoly upon the commercial and trading interests of our country, and the privation and misery inflicted' upon the great lacidy of the people, as it were in fulfilment of all your previous. predictions. Convinced that there can be no great-and permanent. improvementin the condition of our industrial popula tion 'so long as the neces sar i es o f li fe sha ll cont i nue to b e taxed ; and considering the re-imposition of a bread tax by the legislative landowners as a reckless refusal of the just claims of outraged humanity, yoUr Executive Coun cil have felt it to be their (hay to advise with you, as their constituents, on the co urse o f act i on w hi c h, un d er existing - circumstances, it may best befit the League to pursue in the further prosecution of their legal and righteous purpose. Not perceiving in the present aspect of affairs any rea son for doubting the final issue of their labours, and re garding the blind infatuation of a monopolist Legislature as the best guarantee of an eventual, and the most sig.. nificant assurance of an early triumph; your Council take leave respectfully to observe that, as the League is banded together for the working. out of a great and vi tal principle, there can be no halting on its onward course without grievous dishonour and irretrievable disgrace. Seeing no present necessity for occupying your valu able time with any detailed recurrence to past efforts, or with evidence of the signal effect of those efforts upon the great political parties in the State, - or upon the general intelligence and right feeling of the people, the Executive advisedly abstain from such gratification; but impressed with a deep sense of their duty, at this unpre cedented period of national embarrassment and indivi dual suffering, the Executive Council invite your earnest consideration of a scheme for the future operations of the League, which, after bestowing upon it their most serious and anxious a tt en ti on , they beg to submit for your approval and confirmation. Your Council believe that to hold out further encou ragement of popular hoperfrem petitioning the monopo lists, who, in the arbitrament of their own cause, have scorned the oft-preferred • prayers of famishing millions, were cruelly to trifle with the outraged feelings of the people, by fostering a miserable delusion, and sanctioning the performance of a legislative farce, pending the enact ment of a national tragedy . With what reluctance your Executive have arrived at this conclusion may be deduced from their nnremiting exertions, for nearly four years, to direct the just dis content of the starving masses into the constitutional channel of Parliamentary appeal. Happily there is other outlet to national complaint, and other and better hope of national redress. The prayers of the oppressed and despised millions should now be addressed to the SoVereign on the throne, as the last pivot for the leverage of hope to a much-plundered, greatly-suffering, and long-enduring community. That these appeals to our beloved Queen may be most worthy her beneficent attention, and most conducive to the success of our labours, because best calculated to set all opposition at defiance, it would seem imperatively necessary that the League.- should greatly extend its efforts to enlighten all classes upon the momentous sub ject.on which hinge not merely the usurpations of a landocracy, and the happiness or misery - of a nation, but the honour of our Sovereign and the stability of her throne. The voice of truth must be made - to penetrate the darkest recesses of error and ignorance ; the demand for justice must be shown to be reasonable throughout the thousand serfdoms of the monopolist oppressor ; the requirements of religion must be proclaimed among the huts and hovels of the miserable peasantry, and the stately domes of collegiate and episcopal bread-taxes ; in short, the empire must be traversed by your agents, through all its sinuosities and to all its extremities, that . the public mind may be excited to a full comprehension of this all-important question, and led to a due appreci ation of that free trade in-too:land fair play for industry, by which alone the lives of perishing millions may be preserved, and national insolvency, beggary, - and anarchy be averted. To this end, your Executive have caused that portion of the United Kingdom. comprising England and Wales, to be mapped into twelve districts, (and they are extend ing such -plan to Scotland and Ireland), that the accre dited lecturers of the League may be located in these several divisions of the empire, charged with the special duties of---the instruction of the people ; the organiza tion of every - borough, town, village, parish, and hamlet in the .counties assigned to hem ; and the enrolment of every loVer of justice as a Member of the League: The Council is not unaware of the very heavy expense with which this national' effort will charge the ffintle within its control ; but, thanks to the Christian zeal of its best allies, - the fair philanthropists of the empire, it has thousands at its command for the vindication of the honour of God by the furtherance of the bappiness of man. And, now that such object of the League is freed from all suspicion or factious or other sinister purposes--now that, by years of faithfulness to its principle, the League has approved itself the honest and earnest champion of a good and a holy cause, the Executive Council cannot, for a single moment, entertain the remotest doubt of that national support, which shall enable them, unceasingly and effectively, to war against the oppressor of the poor, until the right of all, freely to participate in the bounties of our common Creator, shall have been fully recognised and firmly secured. By order of the Council, GEORGE WILSON, Chairman. MR. WARBURTOIPS PETITION. The following is the petition of Mr. Warburton, pre• sented by Mr. T. Duneombe, on Friday night:— "To THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF CHEAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PAR- LIAMENT ASSEMBLED : " The humble petition of Henry , Warburton, of Chelsea, in the county of Middlesex, " Respectfully showeth—That your petitioner was re turned a Member to serve in Parliament for the borough of Bridport at the late general election in June last, and resigned his seat, by accepting the Chiltern Hundreds in the following September. " That the conduct of your petitioner, in resigning his seat, was shortly afterwards commented on at a public meeting by one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, and has since been alluded to in public by other persons in other places. That your petitioner perceives, from the Votes of your Honourable House, that your Honourable House has resolved to appoint a Select Committee to inquire whether corrupt compromises have been entered into in the cases of election petitions presented from Harwich, Nottingham, Lewes, Penryn and Fahnouth, and Read ing, for the purpose of avoiding investigation into gross bribery, alleged to have been practised at the election for the aforesaid towns, and whether such bribery has really taken place. " That your petitioner has been informed that a motion may not improbably be made in your Hon ourable Honse to extend the proposed inquiry to the borough of Bridport ; and believing, as he does, that the circumstances ; leading to, and attending, and consequent upon the resignation of his seat would properly come within the scope of the inquiries of the Select Committee to be appointed, he earnestly prays your Honourable House to give that extension to its inquiries ; since he neither wishes to avoid incurring any blame which your Honourable House may think he de serves, nor, by reason of mystery and concealment, to be :objected to unjust reflections on his public character and conduct. following "That your petitioner conceives that it is necessary to state some grounds to your Honourable (e l ii ; rte is u e ;se fo e r f the e prayer a this his petition, that thegapenroepraosiTedieciantniqodintihriyne Member for the sthheoruelfdorbeebeexgtsetnodeittlirmtlieyobtoury y o h no o u f r t m i l following circumstances. p ti o le litical party in the years 1826, 1830. saidis '2t: borough, oh and ic y lig . o ha u ,t r . ti crrs petitioner ‘t,.ahredis, rsatt si t ' it a mh s ee r , e s t ai u xt r t n b e feo d K successive general elections, the time between the first and last of such elections being sixteen . years. anc ‘ l l l ' B h :ll t , t ‘ h v e er i e ir borough returning one Member ; that the elections of 1832, 1834, 1837, and 1841 were all contested, two islem 'aers professing the same political opinions with your iiidnpcoorntteeslectedti,oenaes ohf petitioner, being returned at each of those elections, ex ception that of 1834, when one Member of opposite opi nions was returned. " That in 1826, when your petitioner first became connected with the said borough, he found it to be the established (custom and practice in that, as it then was in many other ' open boroughs, for each successful can didate, a twelvemonth after his return, to pay to every elector who had voted for him, and chose to claim it, 'head-money,' which, in the case of the said borough, was 101. for every vote ; and. that, though no previous promises to pay were ever required or g i ven, .;et. pay ment of such sum of 10/. was expected ; and the major part of the electors usually claimed payment. And your petitioner begs to state that, a twelvemo nt h after his re. turn, he paid into his agent's hands the sum of 2,0001., which, he has no doubt, was applied iii payment of the said head-money. " That in 1830 your petitioner was re-elected under the expectation that, at the usual time, he would comply . with the ancient usage ; but that shortly afterwards, on the introduction into Parliament of a fill for reforming your Honourable House, the principal political suppor ters of your petitioner 3n the borough assembled and de-. termined that the custom of paying ' head-money' should be abolished, and required your petitioner., on , pain of losing their support, to abstain from paying the head -money' for the previous and any future election ; and that your, petitioner obeyed their direction, but de voted a much larger sum than the head-money' for his then last election would have amounted to, in the erec tion of a public building for the advantage of the town ; and your petitioner begs to add that, to the credit of the poorer electors nt that period, not more than two indivi duals complained that your petitioner had disappointed them ; and that, from and after the period referred to, the practice in the borough of paying head-money en tirely ceased. "That, at all the above contested elections, your peti tioner was always returned at the head of the poll and by a considerable majority ; and that the return of your petitioner at such elections was always an event, as nearly as such events can be, morally certain, the con test lying entirely between the two candidates ; and that the body of the electors who, at every election from 1831 to 1841, supported your petitioner, did so from disin terested motives and from approval of his political prin ciples and conduct; and your petitioner trusts that, if the inquiry he prays for should be granted by your Honour able House, and it should appear, on investigation, that some of the poorer electors have occasionally yielded to the temptation of bribery, ydur Honourable House will not judge them severely ; for your petitioner begs to de clare to your Honourable House that, so far as regards the general conduct towards him of those electors who have been his supporters:it has been the reverse of any thing mercenary or corrupt. "That it has been the ivariable practice of your peti tioner, at all his elections, not to have any committee to assist in promoting his return, nor to interfere himself in any way in the conduct and management of the election ; but to employ one agent for that-purpose ; that, with re gard to any second Liberal candidate for the borough, whenever there has been one, the practice of such second candidate 'has in all cases been, to employ a separate and distinct agent, and also to have a committee to assist in promoting his separate return. " That your petitioner's knowledge of the occurrences at the different elections at which he has been returned, is derived almost entirely from the statements made to him by his sole agent ;.but _so far as your petitioner knows, and as he believes, no money inducement for a vote in favour of your petitioner, at either of his said four last elections, was offered, or paid, or promised to any voter, by authority of your petitioner's said sole agent • and he aVers that, if ever any such inducement was held out, it was utterly without his knowledge, and would have been disapproved of and strongly reprobated by him. " That the usual expense of 'your petitioner's election was from 1,5001. to 1,700/4 of which sum your petitioner believes that from 700/. to 8001. was the cost of dinners given after the election ; that from 2001. to 3001. or 400/. was incurred in processions, one at the entry of the can didate into the borough, and the other at his chairing, and the remainder in agency costs and in public house expenses preceding the test of the writ. And your pe titioner begs to state that, on the Bth of June, your pe titioner, being then in London, received a letter from his sole agent, stating that your 'petitioner's expenses at the ensuing election would not.exceed the usual average. " That the actual amount which your petitioner's agent stated to your petitioner that he had incurred on your petitioner's account, and which your petitioner paid as soon as demanded, was 2,1661. 17s. Id., and that the extra cost between the usual average arose, as your petitioner is assured and believes (and is accounted for in the bills), from breakfasts which were given to the electors on the morning of the polling. TLat your petitioner was apprehensive that this electors' breakfast would come within the law of treating : that he was not consulted before-hand respecting it ; that he did not know of such breakfast at the time ; that he believes. and has been advised, that if he had been petitioned against, and such breakfast . had been brought home to hun, he might have been unseated in consequence, by being legally guilty of treating through his agent. " That the candidates to represent the borough, be sides your petitioner; at the late general election, were Thomas Alexander Mitchell, Esq., and Alexander I)undas Baillie Cochranb, Esq., neither of whom had ever before appeared as a candidate at the election for the borough ; that the former candidate professed the same political opinions with your petitioner, and the latter candidate opposite opinions. " That the former of these ,gentlemen, as your peti tioner has reason to know, determined to become a can- didate for the borough at the next vacancy, so long ago as in May, 1839 ; and was induced to do so, not in con sequence of any communication made to him by your petitioner (with whom he had no acquaintance) but of his own accord, in consequence of a commercial con nexion of long standing he had with some manufacturers in the borough. " That, from a correspondence which (with the ex ception of one letter) your petitioner' had, for the first time, the opportunity of reading in February last, your petitioner believes, that there existed, on the part of a person in London, hereinafter named, at that time in direct communication with Mr. Mitchell, a deliberate intention of carrying Mr. Mitchell's election by force of money. That your petitioner is confident that if the Select Committee of Inquiry be granted, such fact will be proved. That on the 14th of May in last year, when a speeiy dissolution of Parliament appeared probable, your pett tioner was informed, by letter from his agent at Brid port, that the success of a second Liberal candidate could riot be confidently expected ; for that, making allowance For all the doubtful v ote s , the majority for any second Liberal could not exceed four. " That three days subsequently to such letter, namely, on Monday the 17th of May, a letter from your peti tioner's agent was delivered to your petitioner, in the lobby of your Hon. House, by two gentlemen, agents of Mr. Mitchell, stating that a difference had arisen between Mr. Mitchell and those agents, and requesting your pe titioner to endeavour to mediate between Mr. Mitchell and them ; and that, in consequence of such application, your petitioner on the following day saw Mr. Mitchell, for the first time since your petitioner knew of his being a candidate ; and, in the course of that interview, your petitioner informed Mr. Mitchell of his estimated very narrow majority, and warned him, in case he should continue to be a candidate, carefully to avoid having any difference with his agents, and advised him to weigh well the discretion of continuing a candidate under those cir • cumstances. "That Mr. Mitchell had no further consultation with your petitioner on the subject of their previous confe rence ; but, on the 19th of May, in an address to the Bridport electors, announced his intention of becoming a candidate, and on the 21st personally visited the borough. That, on the same day, an active canvass began in favour of Mr. Cochrane, and, on the following day, a similar canvass for Mr. Mitchell. " That Mr. Mitchell's first canvass was completed on the evening of the 26th of May ; when, it appearing to Mr. Mitchell's agents that the success of such canvass was not sufficiently decisive to justify them in calcu lating upon a certain majority, they came to the deter mination of buying votes, and acted on that determina tion from the 27th to the 30th of May inclusive, Mr. Mitchell and his agent, Mr, Matthew Hutchinson, jun., being at that time in the borough. " That the said Matthew Hutchinson, junior, quitted the borough on Monday, June the 7th, and returned to the borough on Sunday, June the 13th ; and that on Monday, the 14th, the buying of votes, by order of Mr. Mitchell's agents, was resumed, and was continued during the remainder of that week. " That Mr. Mitchell continued at Bridport until the 2d of June, when he quitted it, returning to the borough on the 14th, and remaining there until the Ist of July, two days after the election. " That your petitioner remained in London until Monday, the 21st of June, on the evening of which day your petitioner entered the borough. "That, from the 22d to the 28th of June inclusive, the time of your petitioner was busily occupied in can vassing the electors in the, company of his agent, and another elector acting as an assistant canvasser. " That in the course of this canvass, your petitioner's agent having incidentally observed in conversation, that he had consented to allow such assistant canvasser to aid Mr. Mitchell in hiS canvass, and also that during Mr. Mitchell's absence from the borough, he (your pe titioner's agent) had lent the sum of 1501. to an agent of Mr. Mitchell, your petitioner became, for the first time, aware that he might be thus implicated in the proceedings of Mr. Mitchell,. and as the rumour was current in the town that Mr. Mitchell's agents were having recourse to bribery, your petitioner expressed to his own said anent his regret that a common can vasser had been so lent in aid of Mr. Mitchell, and that money had been lent to Mr. Mitchell's agent ; and also your petitioner's fear that such connexion between him self and Mr. Mitchell might endanger the return of your petitioner. "That, at the said election, your petitioner was re turned by a majority of GO, and Mr. Mitchell by a ma jority of 38, your petitioner receiving 304 votes, Mr. Mitchell 282, and Mr. Cochrane 244, 555 electors having voted out of 594 on the Register, and 272 electors having split their votes betlieen your petitioner and Mr. Mitchell. " That, in the month of July, disputes having arisen between Mr. Mitchell and his (Mr. Mitchell's) agents, respecting the settlement ofelection accounts, your peti tioner was requested by one of such agents to intercede with Mr. Mitchell for their adjustment and payment, which your . petitioner consented to do, and subsequently did. That in the course of such agent's conversation with your petitioner, that agent intimated that the ques tioning of Mr. Mitchell's return might involve also the return of your petitioner. " That your petitioner, On the occasion of such, his communication with Mr. Mitchell, repeated his warn, ings to Mr. Mitchell of the peril he incurred by giving offence to his agents and he informed Mr. Mitchell of the hints thrown out by one of them that the entire re turn might be questioned. " That part of the balance of account demanded of Mr. Mitchell by his agent, was paid to that agent in a manner offensive to him, and a promise was given to your. petitioner's agent by Mr. Matthew Hutchinson, jun. (an agent of Mr. Mitchell), that the remainder should be paid before the - meeting of Parliament in August but which promise was not kept. " That, on Monday, the 24th of August, your peti tioner's agent arriveli in London with information, that the agents of Mr. Mitchell had placed in the hands of Mr. Cochrane's agent decumentary and other proofs, es tablishing in a conclusive manner the fact of an exten sive system of bribery having been practised to - return Mr. Mitchell as Member for the borough. " That your petitioner thereupon instructed his agent to ascertain, in the best way he could, what would be the effect of these disclosures on the legality of your peti tioner's return ; when your petitioner's agent returned with the intelligence that there were proofs in the pos session of Mr. Cochrane's agent of your petitioner's agent having lent the use of a person in his employ as a can vasser to Mr. Mitchell, and also evidence of that person, while acting for Mr. Mitchell, bribing certain electors to vote for Mr. Mitchell with money borrowed of your peti tioner's agent by Mr. Mitchell's agent. "That, coupling these facts with the further fact that most of the voters so bribed for Mr. Mitchell had split their votes between your • petitioner and Mr. • Mitchell, your petitioner could not but be apprehensive that though himself guiltless of the bribery committed by the agent of another candidate, nevertheless he might, in a legal sense, by the law of Parliament, be implicated in Mr. - Mitchell's proceedings, so far as concerned the validity of your petitioner's return. " That your petitioner further ascertained that Mr. Cochrane was principally minded to unseat Mr. Mitchell, and was desirous of not unnecessarily questioning the re turn of your petitioner, or subjecting your petitioner to useless annoyance and expense ; and that, if Mr. Mit chell would resign his seat, and the political supporters of your petitioner and Mr. Mitchell would consent to re turn Mr. Cochrane, no petition would be • presented against either of the then sitting Members. "That your petitioner's agent at once communicated these facts to Mr. Mitchell, suggesting to Mr. Mitchell that, as he and his agents had both conceived the execu tion of the bribery and directed it, and as they were his agents and not your petitioner's, who had disclosed the secrets of their employer, and as it was his refusal to pay his election accounts, and his neglect of the warnings given him by y our 'p e titi oner , t h at had led to that dis cosure, it was just that Mr. Mitchell should resign his seat, and not your petitioner ; and other reasons were urged upon Mr. Mitchell,. arising out of the conditions on which he was supported by your petitioner's friends in the borough, viz., that your petitioner's seat was to be the first secured. "That various representatens to the same effect 'were made by your petitioner's agents to Mr. Mitchell and his agents without effect ; and various personal communica tions took place, the particulars of which your petitioner is ready and anxious to make known to yourHonourable House. " That, after two or three days thus spent in negotia tion with Mr. Mitchell and his agents, your petitioner, fearing that many of his old friends anti supporters in the borough were compromised more deeply in Mr. Mit chell's transactions than your petitioner was aware of, your petitioner suggested to his own agent that he, 'your petitioner, should resign. his seat for the purpose of saving those friends from danger, and he directed his agent with that view, to see the agent of Mr. Cochrane, and report to him, your petitioner, the result ; which overtures ended in two meetings, which your petitioner and his agent had with Mr. Cochrane and his agent, on the 26th and 27th of August, for the purpose of arrang ing the terms and conditio ns on w hi c h y our p e titi o n er should resign his •seat ; but before the conclusion of any such arrangement, information was given by your peti tioner's agent to Mr. Mitchell, that your petitioner was then negotiating on his own behalf, and your petitioner's agent distinctly and repeatedly informed Mr. Mitchell's agent, that one seat must be abandoned to secure their common partisans from danger. " That the conditions which your petitioner enteredinto and stipulated to perform towards Mr. Cochrane were the following :—That at the end of the fourteen days allowed for presenting election petitions, he, your pe titioner, would accept the Chiltern Hundreds, unless Mr. Mitchell, within that time, should agree to do so ; and further, in case of the vacancy to be created by your petitioner, or Mr. Mitchell's resignation, neither your petitioner, nor his agent, nor their mutual friends in the borough, should oppose Mr. Cochrane's return, and that so far as regards that part of the understanding, your petitioner begs to say, that his and his agent's under standing has been carried into effect, for that he resigned his seat on the Bth of September, and that Mr. Coch rane was elected and returned on the 15th of that month, , and that on the 27th of September your petitioner re ceived from Mr. Cochrane's agent a letter, containing the' following voluntary acknowledgment, : " Allow me to take this opportunity of expressing, on behalf of Mr. Cochrane and myself, the deep sense we entertain of the honourable and straightforward con duct which has marked the whole of the proceedings of yourself and Mr. Nicholetts in this matter.' And to your petitioner's agent, on the same day, a letter was addressed by Mr. Cochrane's agent, front which the fol lowing is an extract :---‘ Allow me to take this oppor tunity of expressing to you how deeply both Mr. Coch rane and I feel ourselves indebted to you and Mr. War burton for the honourable, straightforward, and ener getic manner in which you have carried out our London arrangements.' " That it being stated at the meeting of the 26th of August, that no stipulation could legally or safely be entered into that would affect Mr. 'Mitchell's seat, your petitioner requested Mr. Cochrane to take no further proceedings on the petition against that gentleman's re turn ; to which Mr. Cochrane replied, that it w a s hi s fixed determination to unseat Mr. Mitchell, and that he could not entertain the request made to him by your petitioner. " That the conditions which Mr. Cochrane entered into and stipulated, with regard to your petitioner, were, that no petition should be presented against his (your petitioner's) return ; that his letter of application for the Chiltern Hundreds should not b e made known or used before the expiration of the fourteen days allowed for presenting election petitions, and should be returned to him in case Mr. Mitchell should, within that time, agree to vacate his seat, by making a similar application ; that the petition against Mr. Mitchell's return, which Mr. Cochrane declared he would not abandon, should be pro secuted in such a way as to save the legal liabilities and reputation. of your petitioner's friends ; that on this matter your petitioner was informed by Mr. Cochrane and his agent that reliance must be placed on their honour. " That on the 7th of September, the day before your petitioner resigned his seat, on his expressing his doubts to Mr. Cochrane and his agent, whether they would be able to comply with the last stated condition ; Mr. Cochrane's agent stated, that of evidence to prove Mr. Mitchell's bribery he had such an embarras de richesses,' that he would have no difficulty in proving the bribery, and at the same time saving the reputation of your petitioner's friends. _ " That in further elucidation of the nature of the per formance intended by Mr. Cochrane and his agent, in part of the above compromise, your petiti oner begs to give an extract from a letter, dated the 27th of Septem ber, addressed by Mr. Cochrane's agent to your peti tioner's agent : " I need not assure you that, except to carry out the arrangement for the benefit of Mr. Warburton,'and you r friends as well as his, and in strict conformity with the honourable understanding between us, Mr. Cochrane and I have no wish to take any steps whatever ; and that, therefore, we feel ourselves entirely in your and Mr. Warburton's hands, to act as you may direct, as to the actions and petition for Mr. Warburton's benefit. You will see Mr. Warburton's very correct and honourable feelings towards us in this matter, and all I beg of you, for his sake, is, not hastily to decide on steps as to Hut ehinson's actions, &c., which may have the effect at last to leave Mr. Warburton the only sufferer.' " That, at the instigation of the above-mentioned Mr. Matthew Hutchinson„jun., a petition had been got up in the borough against the return of Mr. Cochrane, on an allegation of bribery committed by Mr. Cochrane, when a candidate at the election in .Tune ; which peti tion was to be presented to the House on the 28th of September, the day following the date of the letter last referred to. " Thal, on the morning of the 28th of September, Mr. Cochrane and his agent called on your petitioner, mid asked him to be a consenting party to the withdrawal of the'petition against Mr. Mitchell, as, in that case, the petition against Mr. Cochrane would not be presented ; which proposition your petitioner said he should refer to the consideration of his friends. " That, on the 29th of September, your petitioner ad dressed a letter to Mr. Cochrane's agent, stating that your petitioner had referred the proposal of the former day to his London agent, to whom he (your petitioner) had stated the view he took of that proposal, in the fol lowing terms That, in my judgment, I stand in that position, that no appeal made to me, as to what Mr. Cochrane shall or ought to do, can with propriety be answered by me. If 1 advise one course, my friends will consider me as abandoning them, and as sanctioning the most monstrous injustice ; if I advise another course, it may be Imputed to me that I have conspired to turn Mr. Mitchell out of his seat ; that to Mr. Cochrane and his advisers, therefore, I must leave the undivided responsi bility of determining on their course of action.'

Christy's, the celebrated hat manufacturers, No. 36, Grace church-street, London, as a fashionable tailoring, woollen dra pery, and general outfitting establishment. In all new under takings it is necessary to enter into an explanation of the system on which the business is to be conducted. His intention is to establish one of the largest, cheapest, and best conducted con cerns ever established in or out of the mecropolis, having a thorough knowledge of business, unlimited capital, besides having several first- rate establishments in most of the principal towns in the kingdom. The Proprietor is enabled in conse quence of his large consumption to buy goods frem the best manufacturers considerably under price, and as his system is to sell as cheap as he buys, charging a uniform per centage, those who honour that establishment with their natronage will find his stock the cheapest and best selected in 'Landon. An irspection of the annexed list of prices will convince the most sceptic and cautious that he can nowhere else meet with equal advantages. The Proprietor challenges the West-end to excel him in any of the requisites of gentlemanly dress, and his charge for a whole suit does not amount to that demanded for a single garment. even by most of the houses who boast of the economy of their arrangements. Trial is the test—let it be made, and conviction must follow : Gentlemen's fine dress coats, from £l 8 oto 2 2 0 Extra imperial ditto, the beat quality manufactured SURTOUT AND FROCK COATS. 2 12 0 Superfine frock coat, or surtout, with silk facings, from Extra imperial ditto, the best quality manufactured... 2 I• 0 WAISTCOATS.

Mourning to any extent made at the shortest notice. Another feature of this Establishment is its system of con. tracts, by which gentlemen obtain tour suits at a less price than they have hitherto paid for two. Gentlemen, to whom fashion, economy, and regularity are an object, are recommended to contract by the year, the following List of Prices being the lowest ever yet offered: SECOND QUALITY. Two suits of superfine cloth, any colour £6 10 0 Three ditto ditto ditto 9 10 0 Four ditto ditto ditto WARRANTED THE BEST MANUFACTURED.

" That your petitioner believes that the gross cost of the said last contest for the borough of Bridport, in June, IS4I, exceeded that of all former election contests since the Reform Act ; that the said Thomas Alexander Mitchell expended 3,2001., er thereabout, besides other sums laid out on his behalf by hiS agent, Matthew Hutchinson, jun. ; and that the said Alexandkr . Dundas Bailey Cochrane also expended a considerable sum, in amount unknown to your petitioner ; and that further considerable sums of money have been paid for legal proceedings, and for compromise of actions and indict mentsby the said Messrs. Cochrane and Mitchell. "'That your petitioner, on coming to the knowledge. of these latter circumstances, which it appeared to him re quired investigation, saw the more reason to regret that the petition against Mr. Mitchell's return had been with drawn, since under an Act of the last Parliament (4th and sth Victoria, cap. 57), his, your petitioner's personal conduct, as a candidate, might, before the Committee ap pointed to try that return, have been submitted To strict investigation, and might have been reported on by that Committee to your Honourable House. "That your petitioner humbly trusts that in the fore going recital of facts he has stated sufficient grounds to justify him in praying your Honourable House to refer the same to the Select Committee to be appointed to in quire into similar compromises, bribery, and election corruption. _ " 'That your petitioner and his Bridport agent,_ Edwin Nicholetts, and your petitioner's London agent, Joseph Parkes, will prove to your Hon. House the above facts. and unreservedly communicate to your lion. House all documents and correspondence relating thereto. " And your petitioner will ever pray, &c." The Hon. and Learned Member concluded by expressing his intention to move that the petition be printed and circulated with the Votes. ELECTION COMMITTEES. CORK (COUNTY). The, Committee chosen to try the merits of the pal lion against the return :for the county of Cork met on Saturday at half-past one o'clock, in the Committee room, No. 1, Q. Hayter, Esq., in the Chair. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Montague Smith appeared as Counsel for the petitioners ; 31r. Austin and Mr. A. Stephens for the sitting Members. Mr. Sergeant WRANYI4.OI opened the c a se f or t h 4 pe titioners, Mr. Leader and Mr. Longfield. At die 13. St. election for the county of Cork, there 4vere four candidates in the field, Mr. Leader and - Mr. Long field, the petitioners, and Mr. E. B. Roche and Mr. Barry ; but shortly bek're the day of no mination Mr. Barry withdrew, and Mr. O'Connell took his place. The election took place on the 12th of July, 1841. and was to continue for five days. The polling commenced on the 13th of July, and the result of the first day's poll was for the sitting Members 399, and for the petitioners 387. Ile gave these numbers, be-- cause they might be of importance in the consideration, fpf , the question the Committee had to determine. Duri.llg the day of - polling, and for days previous, the petitioners with drew, in consequence of what came to their knowledge; the polling on the part of the sitting Members, however, proceeded, and at the close of the poll the numbers were —for the sitting Members, 1,274 ; and in favour of the. petitioner, Mr. Leader, 496, a few stray voters having recorded their votes in his favour., After the first day's polling the sitting Member :s were accordingly returned, and it was that retort , _ h e now sought to set aside. The grounds of the petition were, that an organised system of agitation, menace, violence, and outrage was acted upon during the election fur Cork, and that several electors were deterred from voting in consequence of such a system, so that the freedom of election was entirely destroyed. The Learned Gentleman went on to say that u. very old statute, almost coeval with the existence ot: P ar li ament , was passed to preserve the freedom of c+ection. That was the statute of 3d of Edward First, chap. 5, which enacted that no force of arms or menace should be allowed at elections. The Learned Gentleman them went on to detail particular eases of violence, and said that sufficient voters baying remained unpolled they must be presumed to vote for the petitioners till the con trary was shown. The poll-book 6 were produced by Mr. Ware, the Clerk of the Peace for the county Cork. Mr. Barry, the High Sheriff for Cork at the lase election, was called to prove the protests that were en tered by the petitioners at the election. Mr. AUSTIN was proceeding to cross-examine the witness, but Mr. Sergeant Wrangham objected. The room was then cleared, and the Committee de cided that the cross-examination might be proceeded with. The Committee then adjourned till 11 o'clock to-day. FLINT (BOROUGH). The proceedings on the petition against the return of Sir R. W. B. Bulkeley were very speedily terminated. The Committee met at eleven on Saturday, and procei:ded to the investigation of the allegations of the petition. These were very well supported byeonelusive proof, and 87 votes being proved to be disqualified, the sitting Member was declared to have been unduly etecota. LYME REGIS. The Committee continued the scrarAny on Saturday into the votes to which the objections were made on the ground of removal. The vote of tit man named John Lakey occupied nearly the w'dOle day. Mr. Talbot argued in support of the vote, and Mr. Cockburn for the objection. The room was cleared, and the Com mittee decided that the vete should be struck off. This leaves the numbers equal on each side. The Committee immediately adjourned till eleven o'clock to-day. RAILWAY RETURNS.
