The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The following bills were read a second time :—Th e York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway (construction, of docks, &c.) ; the Cornwall Railway ; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway (Stratford upon-Avon and Stourbrldge branches) ; East Lanca shire, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Manchester and Southport Railways ; Bagenalstown and Wexford Railway (No. '2) ; Mellow and Fermoy Railway; the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway (Pontop and South Shields, &c.) Bill, and the North London Railway Amendments Bill, were read a third time and passed. _ . _ LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (CANADA) BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTHE postponed until Thurs day next this bill, on the ground that it had only just been printed. NOTICE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of this hill, gave a historical sketch of the law on the subject to which it referred, and which, he said, had engaged the attention of the Legis lature for a great many years. Prior to the Reformation marriage in England as it was still in some Roman Catholic countries, was treated as a sacrament and as absolutely indissoluble, but recourse was had to vari ous expedients whereby marriages were declared to be null and void from the beginning. In the reign of Henry VIII., and afterwards in that of Edward a commission was appointed to inquire into the state ()I law connected with the Church, which included the sub ject of divorce, and they recommended that marriages should be set aside for adultry, and a variety of other causes. Their suggestions, however, were not carried ieto effect, but they w ere so conformable to the f - eling a of man kind that, at the end of the sixteenth or the beginning of the 17th century, divorces were granted by the eccle siastical cout;:,s cc mensd d thoro, but this only separated the parties, and in3l rot enable them to marry again. Towards the close of the 19 ',A century it W 25 felt that this state of the law subjected p..rties to g. eat hardship, and by means of a bill. in Parliament, they were enabled to procure a divorce a tinculo mearimonii, which placed them in a position to again marry. Three years ago a commission was appointed to inquire into the existing law, and to suggest remedies for its defects. Their report was presented to the house last session, and the present bill was, with seine slight modifications, founded upon that report. Two classes of questions were considered by the Commissioners —first, what was the elms of cases in which it would be safe and proper to permit 'divorces ; and secondly, what tribunal could t: decision of such questions be ~.afeiy and prope - confided. With regard to the first, the ca, - missioners came to the conclusion, in which he enti. elv concurred, that it was expedient to confive the grourid fir a divorce to adultery on which for a century and a ha'e their lordships had alone granted divorces. In regar to the second question, the commissioners proposed a tribunal consisting of a Vice Chancellor, a common law judge, and, an ecclesiastical judge. By the present bill the Court of Chancery, taking the jurisdiction now exer cised by the ecclesiastical courts, would have power to hear and deterioine all matters matrimonial, to make decrees of nullity of marriage, divorces a, mcnsa et tloro, for alimony, and restitution of conjugal rights ' • and in all such suits and proceedings it would p rocee d accord ing to the rules and principles which had heretofore guided the ecclesiastical courts. The court of divorce would be a new tribunal, and have power to dissolve marriage, but only by reason of adultery on the part of the wife, or of incest or bigamy on the part of the hus band. It was proposed that it should be constituted of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the Master of the Rolls, and two other persons to be appointed under the great seal, who would most probably be two learned civilians. Although the practice of dissolving marriage by legislation would be abandoned, an appeal would lie from this new court to the House of Lords, which would remain, as heretofore the court of final resort. _ Lord BROUGHAM expressed a general approval of the measure, particularly of the departure from the existing legislative practice, which made each case of divorce a IN ivilegium, and the substitution of a judicial system. The transfer of jurisdiction from the ecclesias tical courts would impose but little additional duty upon the Court of Chancery, while it certainly would not un safely extend the facilities for divorce; but he thought the constitution of the proposed new court would be found to require some modification. Lord CAMPBELL warmly concurred in the principles upon which the bill was founded, but he entertained doubts as to the efficiency of the judicial machinery by which it was proposed to be carried out. He thought that, as recommended by the commissioners, there ought to be only one tribunal for divorce and all causes matri monial, which should not be the Court of Chancery. Lord REDESDALE said that, as one of the divorce commissioners, he had paid great attention to the sub. ject, and had arrived at the conclusion that Parliament ought to adhere to the old principle of our law, that marriage was indissoluble. This bill, however, introduced a new principle, that a court of law should have the power of dissolving marriage, and he cautioned the house against thus opening a door which, by creating an impression that divorces could be readily obtained, might be pro ductive of great social evil. He admitted that the exist ing legislative system was capable of improvement ; but he denied that there had been any such great or general demand for additional facilities in the way of obtaining divorces ns to justify the proposals conta;ncd in this bill. Lord ST. LEONARDS, whilst giving a modified sup port to the bill, stated a number of points in which the constitution of the proposed new court was defective. He also objected, in some respects, to its intended mode of proceeding. Too much labour, he thought, would be thrown upon the Lord Chancellor and the Chancery judges, by extending the jurisdiction of the Count of Chancery; and he foresaw that the compensations to the judges ao,d officers to be removed in consequence of the establishment of the new tribunal would be enormous. The LORD CHANCELLOR having replied, the bill was read the second time. The High Treason (Ireland) Bill was read the second EXCIIEQIJER BONDS (6,000,0001.) BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the third reading of this bill ; and in the course of a very few observations, he de nied that it was a loan bill in the proper sense of the term. Lord MONTEAGLE said he could not assent to the third reading of this bill without calling attention to its peculiar provisions. Complaining that the bill had been introduced without explanations, and that it was liable to be productive of signal disturbance in our financial arrangements, he asserted that it was a loan bill and no thing but a loan bill. To deny this proposition was to embark upon the intellectual effort of proving a distinc tion without a difference. It was proposed to raise 6,000,000/., at 4 per cent. This was a rate of interest disproportionate to the rates paid on Consols and Ex chequer-bills, but the Government were obliged to offer it because the security was distasteful to the public. And this was done at a time when the rate of interest upon the best securities in France bad been lowered. He asked whether it was not strange that in the course of one year the rate of interest upon our unfunded debt should be raised teem 11 to 4 per cent. ? Yet this had been done by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he contended that such a fact was unexampled in the mone tary history of the country. The bill called upon Par liament to cast on the years 1858, 1859, and 1860, an annual burden of 2,000,0001., in addition to the ordi nary ways and means of each year. This was incon sistent with the notion of providing for the service of the year within the year ; while there was obvious risk in saying beforehand what would be the financial posi tion of the country in those years. But it was said that when those years arrived the bonds would be replaced by other bonds. If this were so the bill was an impos ture, for it contained no such power of substitution. This might be one cause of the unpopularity of the new secu rities ; but there was another cause, which he would point out. The public did not like any security which was small in amount. A public security, to be effectual, I must be of sufficient extent to make a market for itself, but in this case the 6,000,0001. had been divided I into three series of 2,000,0001. each, which was far too small, while by the arrangements that had been subsequently made, there were no very great facilities for their transfer from hand to hand. His great objec tio a to the bill, however, was to the power which it gave to the Government to interfere with the Savings Banks Act, by enabling the Chancellor of the Exchequer to se'l savings banks stock, and of investing the money in the purchase of the new securities. He regarded this power as extremely dangerous, and, observing that it was not contained in the original bill introduced into the House of Commons, be contended that, after 1858, it would become part of the permanent debt of the country. Thus the Chancellor of the Exchequer was practically doing that which he professed not to do. Adverting b the question whether these 6,000,0001. was a loan, be submitted that. whether regarded by the inspiratiors of common sense, or tested by the nature of the case, it was a loan, and nothing but a loan. It was said to be a provision for the temporary raising of money. What wee this, he asked, but a loan ? In conclusion, he admitted the general merits of the Government, par ticularly in their selection of war taxes, and said it was with regret that he had felt himself compelled, by a sense of public duty, to make these observations. Earl GRANVILLE, in reply, said the noble lord bad entirely failed to make out a case against the bill. He denied that the new security was die tasteful to the public ; and said the noble lord, in com plaining of the rise in the rate of interest, had entirely omitted from his consideration the state of the harvest and the breaking out of war, circumstances sufficient to account for the advance. There would be no embarrass ment whatever in providing for the payment of these bonds in 1858, 1859, and 1860. We were now accus tomed to provide every year for 16,000,000/. or 17,000,000/. of Exchequer-bil:si ; and surely there would be no difficulty in meeting 2,000,0001. a year for three years. It was, in fact, idle to talk of difficulty from such a cause. The omission in the clause relative to the savings -banks, which the noble lord bad mentioned, had been made advisably, inasmuch as the words, bad they remaited, would have le d to ambiguity ye to the powers of the savings bank : - rustees to exchange stock for bonds. It was monstrous that the Government should not thus have the power of dealing with the public money in a manner most advantageous to the public, for he denied that the funds alluded to belonged to the savings -banks. They belonged to the Government ; the Government was responsible for them ; and he contended that their investment of tho purchase of bonds would be advauta• 1854. genus to the country. I❑ conclusion he repeated that the bill was not a loan bill. After a few words from Lord MONTE:I.GL; the bill was read the third time and passed. The Railway and Canal Traffic Regulation Pill was read a third and passed. Adjourned. HOUSE 07 COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.)

THE TIGER. Captain SCOBELL wished to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any official despatches have been ra ocived relating to the loss o her Majesty's steam-vessel Tiger; and whether, if so received, or when received, there w: beingbe any objection to su c h d espatches being made public ? ,Sir GRAHA.II said the Board of Admiralty had ra ce' ved an account from the first lieutenant of the Tiger of tai circarnstances which led t o th e l oss of the Tiger. All tn.) cir;. itusta,nces which really interested the public had beuu m..lde known through accustomed channels; but in the i•epoi t from the first lieutenant, there were certain questions of a professional character relating to the loss of the vessel, rhich must become the subject of investigation before a c Burt-martial, and in the opinion of the Board of Admi ralty the publication of these dotai's would prejudice the BLOCKADE OF RUSSIAN PORTS. Mr. HORSFALL asked the First Lord of the Admiralty wilejler it was interded to establish an effective block.) le oir the Russian ports in the Balti the Black, and the Whit.; Sea, or whether there was to be a distinction in faxour of foreign flags. Or J. GRAH3I hail already stated more than once th,o.t an of dive blockade of Rwsian ports bad been esta hi; shed in the Baltic and the Black Sea, but none had been titnted in the White Sea, though he believed such a blo'ckad3 was in contemplation by the French Govern ment. The blockades we'd be relaxed in favour of no flags whatever. THE STAR.

This awed ha.linst returned ii to port, from foreign service, and o a its being corninunicaic 1 to the crew that the ship would not be Niel off, but that she would be r?- ' fl `toil for service hi Cie r.dtic, they held a council tetween decks, and signcd a round robbin, calling upon tl'o Board of Adwi-r-Ity to change their commander, on the ground that he had beau guilty of gross cruelty towor , lB tl iem. it appeared that scarcely ono of the men had e_ 'Gaped flogging, and none of them so fl ogge d h a d r ece i ve d , .I.E •68 w.an four dozen lashes each. Sir J. GRAHAM said there was no truth in this re poor, but in consequence of an anonymous letter which w Is sent to the Board of Admiralty, an inquiry was iusti t e .t al into the conduct of the commander, and it was found ti, at, although it had been indiscreet, it was yet not wholly in defensible. At:anvil - lents had ben made to appea th.e fears of the crew, and the ship was now refitting for aeti ve service. THE POLICE BILL. C aptain SCOBELL asked the Secretary of State for the Hoc ne Department, w'aether a return (ordered to be laid on the hble of tl:e house, about three months ago) of the nut über, cost, of the mike force in each city and bor .ugh in Eng' I and Wales, will be so renderei, and be :in the hands c: members previous to the second reading of the Polic , z Lll_ being moved. Lord PALMERSTON promised that the return should be forthcoming before the second reading. Mr. M. GIBSON thought. there would be little chance of carrying the bill this sei3ion, but, at the same time, he Ella( )uld be glad to know when it was proposed to take the sc and reading. He also wished to know when the noble for d intended to bring in his promised bill to give the rate payers of counties a control over the expenditure. Lord PALMERSTON observed that as to fixing the day whet I the second reading would come on, that must depend, of co urse, upon the progress of the other business of tL• house, which was of a more pressing nature, and after the expe:rienee of last night it was impossible to say when many bills before the house would be brought on. But it un do nbt,edly was his intention to ask the house to pass the P, )11 . 00 Bill into a law; h e s h ould b e ready to hear any ob th je.ons that might be made to any particular parts of the and those objections should receive his best attention. With regard to the other measure, such a bill was pre pared, and whenever he saw a chance o f b r i ng i ng i t i n h e sitould avail himself. of it. THE BALLOT. Mr. Serjeant SHEE presented petitions in favour of the . . Mr. H. VERNON - prez,ented a similar petition from Truro. _ Mr. H. BERKELEY presentei a petition to the same effect from Chatham. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from Carno.rvon for the ballot, and one from Bodmin praying that there may be no extension of the franchise without the ballot. Mr. BERKELEY, in rising to bring forward his motion in favour of the ballot, said he did so unelated by transept enecess and undismayed by usual defeat, for he was equally persuaded that the measure was one required by justice and expediency, and one which the house would never agree to until compelled by necesseity. He justified his .couduct by the pertinacity of Lord J. Russell in respect to the claims of the Jews, which were certainly not stronger than those of the Christian electors of this country to pro tection. The case of an elector was surely as strong- as that of the Jew; but the simple question to decide was, should the elector elect ? Now on this point nothing could go beyond the reasoning and argument of Mr. Grote, and those who followed Viet gentleman in the advocacy of the ballot had only to contend with the ghosts of the arguments which he had demolished. (Hear, and a laugh.) One of the last spectres which had appeared was the theory that the elective franchise was a trust to the electors, to be used for the benefit of the non-electors, and that the voting must be open in order that the non-elec tors might be made acquainted with the manner in which the duty was discharged. A more delusive theory, .or one more dangerous in practice, could not be advanced; for it was ono which assuredly encouraged intimidation. 'The elective franchise was a right, and not a trust; but, if a trust, he contended the elector could not discharge his duty under a system of open voting. But he denied that open voting fixed the responsibility of the voter and on this point he again quoted the authority of Mr. Grote. To s how the danger of this theory, he would refer the house to u , hat were called the Parliamentary blue, but which ought tee be called the Parliamentary black books—the accurnu latlon of the committees who had sat on the proceedings a t the lost election—he meant thil Cork election. At that elecelon Mr. Murphy, Mr.. Fagan, and Colonel Chatterton were the candidates. Murphy and Fagan were Liberals a nd Eoinau Catholics; Colonel Chatterton a Conservative and Protestant. It was in evidence before the committee that the Roman Cetholic priests took a warm interest in Murphy and Fagan, and addressed their congregation after Di v i ne sorvice, having evidently studied in the Russell school—th et school in white' the Secretary at War had tal:en his de‘gree. (A. laugh.) " You Ka, boys," said these priests, " tiya the elective franchise is given to the electors in trust for y on, the non-electors; and, uoys, all those who vote for Chatterton are guilty of a breach of trust. Now a breach of trust is a sin, and you are perfectly warranted in preventing the electors from going to the poll to commit that sin." (A laugh. j Well, the non-electors took the hint, and did prevent the electors from going to the poll ; but he would admit that the violence which took place did not arise from the recommendation of the Roman Catholic priests; and he wags bound to suppose that such violence did not meet with the+ approval of the noble lord the member for London. (A laugh) The violence arose from the dangerous doctrine proolulgated by the priests and by the noble lord ; for the non-electors, acting as they were desired, watched the polling•booths to see how their trustees voted—(a laugh)—and when they found them vote " sinfully" they chalked their backs—(a laugh)—and when out of the reach of the military nearly stoned them to death. (More laughter.) To prove the accuracy of this description he need only refer to the speech of Colonel Chatterton at the dinner given to Mr. Isaac Butt, the member for Youghal. (Hear.) Speaking of the Cork election the gallant colonel observed, that, although his profession had compelled him to witness many scenes of bleed, he had never been more horrified than at the scenes enacted at that election. He described the appearance of the wounded " trustees" as most sickening, and nothing could be more constitutional than the language of the gallant colonel when ho asked whether men would re cord their votes through such murderous scenes of blood? but be (Mr. Berkeley) confessed astonishment at the concluding sentence of the gallant colonel's ad dress. After his description of all this bloodshed it might have been supposed that some alteration in the mode of voting would have been suggested ; but the concluding words of the gallant colonel were, simply, " Attend to the registry." (Laughter.) Attend to the registry ! when the effect of the system was to doom the electors to the martyrdom of St. Stephan, and to have their brains knocked out. (Laughter.) The gallant colo nel said his heart and soul were bound up in the Conserva tive cause ; and it was well known that the protection of the voter was a brand of heresy in the Conservative creed. The bruised and battered electors of Cork, then, must turn to the Liberal members for Cork if they desired a sincere advocacy of the ballot, and he trusted he should have the assistance of the senior memb er for that city on this occasion. Two principles he (Mr. Berkeley) contended. d not be ur for ; first, that the vote of the electors h chased by mosey; and, secondly , f Oat the reit a sh lm ou . ld n To ot p be pre placed within the.control of a p o vent the elector from being troddenoratniobayofthethpaurchhalalsoetr, or the peer, let him have the to the voter which had never failed to give security pr ently been exchanged where ever it had beenatlepted. In proof, it was only necessary to state that open' voting frequ for open. (Hear, had for seeeet votings-but never secret voting _ hear.) 'Americatheil been cited as an instance of the failure of the b a llot; best the result of correspondence with able America, and with a society which enrolled amongst in eagst its names that of Mr. George Grote, showed the direct contrary." In America the ballot was in force in 29 states out (of 31. It was instituted in Massachusetts in 1631, remained" in force to this day, and election dis turbances were unknown there. It was in force in Connecticut, in Pennsylvania, New York, Louisiana, and K en t uc ky ; and whereas, in the two l a tt er states, before the adoption of the ballot, in 1830, the fighting and ge neral disturbance rivalled our own election scenes at Black burn; Clitheroe, Six-mile-bridge, and Cork, the elections were now conducted in the most peaceable manner. But the ballot had worked equally well in Switzerland, Hol land, and Belgium. Yes, in Switzerland the ballot had been found to work well; in Belgium, as he had himself lately proved, it was ,equally successful ; and France af forded a third instance of its advantages, although it was once the fashion to declare that it had been weighed in the balance and found wanting, because, under it, the present Emperor had been elected to power. For need he recall to the recollection of the house that, at the time of the coup d'etat, the nano of 'Napoleon was hold in about I:ar Marshal s much reverence in this country as the name of 1 Haynau, of woblai-flogging memory. (Laughter, and cries of " hear, hear..")' Why, the time was when my Lord Pal merston himself was almost hunted abou t the country like a mad fox, because he was deemed no t to be e a e smuch op posed to the bead of the French nation as the rest of his colleagues. (Renewed laughter, and cries of "hear.") Nor could he forget that. Lord Panmure, then a Secretary of State under a Wig Government, actually declared, that although he bad lirsys auPPortted , tilt 1 ; 4410 3 11 ° Q 91114 9 11 • - longer support it, bee, tune under it had been elected the French Emperor. (I .oucl cries of " hear, hear.") Aid then, to crown all, th, > 7ttniee newspaper must needs lay hold of this most nota, 'ale declaration and embalm it with a leader. (Much laugh 'lota) Need he remind the house how vain were el his efrorts at that time to stem 'the toi:eat which bad set in against the ballot. They had got hold of an unpopu. iar Frenchman, anhdooth. beilot was wrong. Bu t why, said the gentleman oga e ar, Thankhea bear.) the Thank ba tiet (facile) . the Treasury bet leh), why should I not now t round upon you, confoa sling you with your claptrap, and 712 ; 2 :o i s e s s es ? sed (H .

(Loud cries of Hear, hear.) However, layin, e aside all such considente tioua, he held that the virtues or the vices of the man elected by ballot proved no criterion of the goodness or badness of their system of voting'. But hon. gentlemen had turned round on him anti said---' Why press this measure of reform at all at a moment when the Government had just consented to withdraw their ;Reform Bill." Now, that was a position which he could not understand at all. Why, they might just as well say that hon. gentlemen should not go into Scotland to shoot grouse, because Lord Aber deen did not wear Scotch phillibegs. (Great laughter.) In that of reform he did not find one scintilla of pro tection to the electors of the couutiy ; the bill did not con tain one word about it worthy of a thougEtt. And let the house rnaek, th a t %voile this language was field to him, he found thee we• omelet —aided and abetted, indeed, by some hon. ge itlemen on both sides—loading the table with bills which they pret en d e d would cure all the evils of our sys e ;ri w her e ; antithe trey a l the re h e e e i og billstioihcearveed with,been got to e togetheru s p th s e tg f& rs ts , of all tinkered wo r k--b y go i ng to tiece d hear, hear.)

(Cheers from the members below the gang way on the ministerial side of the house.) Well, the Ref form Bill slumbered, and, hoping always to speak of it int the past tense, he would say, reqaifscat in pace. (Laughter.> Ho believed that the intimidation and corruption existing at the present time was as bad as that practised at the re mote days of Daniel Defoe. And did they suppose it was to be put down by penal enactments?

(Hoar, hear, below the gangway.) Well, but there was the bill of the hon. and learned member for Suffolk (Sir F. Kelly), imposing the necessity of an oath upon the electors. But had they not already oaths enough, aud appalling violations of oaths ! Did not men sell their votes as they sold pigs, or sacks of flour, or sacks of apples, and then go to the polling booths and swear that they were guiltless of being bribed ? He knew himself a case where au elector, on his way to the poll, received a bribe of Si., and then took the bribery oath with the 51. in one hand and the Prayer-book in the other. Ha knew another instance where an elector proceeded to the poll between the two contending parties, one of them contrived to slip 53. note into his right hand. Oa this the other party in- Bitted on his taking the oath; but he slipped away, and the people imagined that he could not stand the test of the oath. But what happened ? Why, towards the end of the dray he turned up again and voted; explaining that in the reoleing, having the 5/. note in his sight hand, he could. not take the oath without exposing it. (Laughter.) Again, all those bills at whi c h th e y were a t wor k so zea l ous ly sa id not one word about intimidation, or if it was mentioned it was after so puerile a fashion that no one was believed to be is earnest. After all the corruption and intimidation of 1853 they had had but one bill purporting to amend the law against bribery and intimidation, and ordaining a penalty of 501. against any one who should resort to force or threats to influence an election. But did that meet the intimidation of landlords—did it meet the intimidation of customers ? Was a landlord compelled to avow his reasons for discharging a servant—a customer for discharging his tradesman ? In conclusion, he would quote two cases to show that no law which they could make would meet or check some kinds of intimidation. The first case to be mentioned was on very high authority, it was one of in timidation quoted by Sir James Graham, the First Lord of the Admiralty. (Laughter.) He found it in a speech addressed to the Conservative electors of the county of Cauaberland at Carlisle, on the 4th of June, 1835, by the right hon. gentleman. After his defeat on that occasion the right hon. gentleman brought to bear all his great power of sarcasm and quiet irony against we poor Whig- Radicals, as ho delighted to call us. (Much laughter.) Poor 3lr. Hume especially came in for his share—the right hon. gentleman, consielering -him "a-very bad poli tician —(laughter)—and something addicted te rebellion. (Great laughter.) He found great fault also with the noble viscount opposite (Lord Palmerston), and described him ae having been "indiscreet enough" at the Westminster elec tion to vote for " Leader and Evans." (Renewed laughter.) And then the right hon. baronet proceeded to lay it. well in to the Comptroller of the Royal household. (Laughter.) He said—" What was the course which the Whig Ministry —the Ministry of Lord Melbourne—pursued at the last general election ? Why, on that occasion Mr. Leader stood for Westminster, in opposition to a man who was no un tried man, but a most distinguished officer—a man most eminent by his public services, moderate in his opinions, and of the greatest suavity of manner. And what decision did her Majesty's Government come to between two such characters! I blush to state. (Laughter.) Would it be believed that an officer high in her Majesty's service, no less a person than the Comptroller of the Household, with the full sanction of the Government, was appointed chair man of Messrs. Leader and Evans's committee, in opposi. • tion to Sir George Murray. (Cries of ' shame,' and oh, oh,' and immense laughter from all sides of the house.) Well," continued the right hon. baronet, "you may sup pose I have stated the whole of the case • nothing like it. We have heard much of the intimidation said to be em ployed by landlords during the last general election ; but what was that to the conduct pursued by this chairman of the Westminster Radicals, this Comptroller of the House hold." (Laughter.) " Why, he actually withheld the warrants of appointments front tradesmen until the elec tion was over, with the avowed purpose of 'influencing their votes (groans)." (Renewed laughter.) Now, that (said the hon. member) was a sufficient case of intimida tion upon excellent authority ' • and it was perfectly' amusing to see how virtuous a Whig was at the expense of a Tory, and how virtuous a Tory could become at the ex pense of a Whig. (Laughter.) Why the right hon. gen tleman got the head of the amiable Comptroller of the Household into Chancery, and filially floored him by a regular cross-buttock. (Much laughter.) He was per. fectly astonished that the right hon. gentleman did not see that there was but one way to control comptrollers of the household—great chairmen as well as little chairmen— silver sticks as well as gold sticks ; and that was, by giving the electors protection against them. (Hear, hear.) The next case which he had to mention was a frightful case of intimidation. Here, however, ho bad to depart from his usual practice, and claim the indulgence of the house, a% he could not name the parties concerned, nor even the locality where the circumstance occurred; and he was quits sat;sfied that the gentlemen who had heard of the case, with the innate delicacy of gentlemen, would agree thatit was necessary to forbear from mentioning names. The facts took place at the general election of 1 841, and up to that moment he had never been able to usethe cas e , having bound himself not to do so until the death of the parties, It appears that a master tradesman, an active Con servative in a certain borough, vote d for the Liberal candidate, as well as influencing five tenants and workmen of his to vote the same way. It was here well to observe that neither of the candidates knew anything of the case, for both of them were too honourable men not to have turned their backs upon the guilty agent with i ndignati o n.haea Wel, this tradesman did not hesitate had say done by a man been intimidated into voting wa a s s o u h n a der deep obligation, This strange par's o of wi p o r g oc i e uto rty s , vo to ry l N a v r b g o e m sum be ofjp was c ountry county, and rk• „gentleman residing in a distant lik ew ise a tive But now he came to point out the of the case, however, was that the creditor e strong Conserve • too, to support a Liberal. The country nature of the screw which induced a . Conservative, and a p a n7a er c t r y editor, had a sister well married and settled gh where the debtor resided. Well, on the day o o u the election an attorney called upon thislady— hPrgmnreeaentp:th.rileo:o:fibl'uocrted a packet of letters and said, " Through A* death of a client of mine these letters are in my possession. I know them to have been written by you venous to your marriage ; and if they fall into your husband's pos. session, ruin and disgrace will attend you and your children. I know that your brother has advanced a l a rge sum of money to a man in this town ; now you must, therefore, have some means of influencing this person to vote for the Liberal candidate, and if you don't your hus band will get possession of these letters." In short this base election agent applied to this unhappy lady the screw of ruin—the poor lady applied the screw of compassion to her brother—the brother applied to the debtor the creditor's screw—the debtor applied to his tenants and workmen the landlord's and master's screw, and thus a ramification of election screws was applied, to influence five electors to betray the best interests of their country, and tel a lie before th e ir God. (Hear, hear.)

It was therefore w ith th e high and constitutional object of endeavouring to procure pm ity of election that he most humbly yet earnestly en treated the house to grant him leave to introduce this bill. (The hon. gentleman on resuming his seat was received with loud cries of " hear, hear," by the Radical members.) Lord D. STUART said he rose to second the motion, and after the eloquent, witty, forcible, and convincing speech of his friend it was only necessary for him to say a few words. It was, he believed, the earnest wish of the people of this country that the ballot should be esta blished, because they felt that all bribery bills and similar attempts at legislation would prove ineffectual. He was himself always in earnest in political matters, and he liked to sea government in earnest too, whether the matter in band was W" With Ital§gia or Pao romoTal of grivraco. ---~ I
