THE COURT-MARTIAL AT WINDSOR.—The Court- Martial on Lieutenant Perry, 46th Regiment, re-assem bled yesterday morning. The president made some angry remarks about the publication of the proceedings in the daily papers. The Judge Advocate also added some unintelligible threats, and talked wildly about pro ceedings under the Mutiny Acts and Articles of War. After which Lieutenant Perry read his defence, which was listened to in profound silence, and appeared to make a great impression on the auditory. It set forth that being personally unwilling as he was pecuniarily unable to indulge in excesses, he had always been what is called " a quiet man "—a course which had subjected him to unexampled persecution at the hands of many in the regiment, to whom he was an object of laughter and reproach. After entering largely into this matter, and mentioning his vain appeals for redress to his superior officers, he detailed minutely the outrageous conduct of Lieutenant Greer on the night of the assault—conduct which had provoked him to so great an extent that on the impulse of the moment, and also in defence, he had acted as he had done, and as, he contended, under the circumstances, was morally, legally, and honourably justifiable. After remaining a long time in deliberation, the c )urt broke up. The verdict will not be pro mulgated until it has been approved by the highest authority. QUEENSTOWN HARBOUR.—In consequence of the mooring chains attached to the anchors to which her Majesty's vessels of war were usually moored, having by some accident sunk in the channel at Queenstown, an experienced diver in the employment of the naval au thorities arrived from England, and succeeded in raising the chains with little difficulty. The admiral of the port, Sir W. F. Carroll, kindly made an offer of this man's services to the Messrs. Scott, who have recently pur chased the wrecked vessel lying on the Spit Bank. The offer was accepted, and the diver is now at work staunch ing her, and when compl e t e d th e water w ill b e pumped out, and the hulk towed off. The party who originally purchased this wreck expended nearly as much as he had paid for her in trying to effect her removal, but un successfully.—oO2k Constitution.

The L•aRD CHANCELLOR took his soat on the woolsack at five o"clock. Lord CAMPBELL gave notice of his intention to move an amemdment, when the house went into com mittee on the Navigation Bill, for the purpose cf getting rid A* a provision which, in the event of a ship and cargo being lost, at sea, would deprive the sailors of their wages, and which he said involved a principle not only hitherto unknown in this country, but all over the world. TITS BOARD OF HEALTH. The Earl of SHAFTESI3URY in moving for papers relating to the Board of Health, entered into a defence of the mean'oers of the board in answer to what he termed t'ao unjustifiable attack which had recently been made U T on them in another place, and which he con sidered. 'could only be attributed either to extreme igno rance o r malignity. It was asserted that the board had by ita conduct completely checked the progress of sani tary reform, and by its despotic and overbearing be l anxiour had disgusted the whole country. (Hear, hoar.) In no case, he stated, had the act been apjAed, but on the representation of a large body of people in the locality assembled in public meetings. In 182 places the act had been put into operation ; in 168, on the application of ratepayers by petition, and in 14, after the representations of town councils and vestries, and after a certain per tentage of mortality was proved to take place annually among the population The noble lord mentioned that since the attacks had been made, the board had received a number of letters frown Manchester and other places in the country which haxl been voluntarily sent, and the writers of which de cl.ared that they believed the attacks were wholly un founded. The noble earl entered into a defence of the board as to the charges, and concluded by saying that a more diligent, active and zealous body of men, or one more desirous to do good, and to promote the interests of the poor and working classes, could not be found, The BISHOP of LONDON said that if the Board of Health had not been thwarted by the Government, every poor dwelling in the metropolis would at this moment have been supplied with pure water at a price so small as not to be worth consideration. He then paid a high tribute to the official merits of Mr. Chadwick and Dr. Southwood Smith ; and expressed a hope that the Go vernment would feel it their duty to uphold those gentle men in the difficult position which they at present oc cupied. The Earl of CARLISLE eulogised the long public services of Mr. Chadwick and Dr. Southwood Smith, and said it was difficult to account for the hostile feel ings which had lately' been expressed towards them. He trusted that these feelings would soon subside, and that in the meantime the consciousness of having done right would enable them to sustain the present trial. Lord BROUGHAM also spoke highly of the merits of Mr. Chadwick, and described his public services in the establishment of the present poor-law system. The motion was then agreed to. BLEACHING WORKS BILL. The Bleaching, &c., Works Bill was read a third time and passed. THE GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND. Lord LYTTLETON said he could not concur in the opinion that the defence of the Governor of New Zea land by her Majesty's Government was quite satisfac tory. He was well aware how utterly uninteresting the question was, and ho had no pleasure in bringing charges against any public man. The colonial governors had a fair claim to have their conduct fairly considered at home ; and he admitted that Sir George Grey had been a good and efficient governor in some respects, and that financially he had been so, but he was quite unfit for the introduction of a constitutional system for the English people, and he thought it a misfortune that it had been entrusted to his hands. The noble duke oppo site was aware that it was conceived that the main grounds of complaint were, and be proposed to confine himself to those proceedings under' the Constitutional Act for New Zealand, the dealing with the price of crown lands, and the delay in summoning and assem bling the House of Representatives. He had always thought that the late Government, whatever might be their merits or demerits, were entitled to lasting honour for the Constitutional Act of New Zealand. The great question was not what the colonists themselves asked for, but what powers and what duties they ought to be called on to exercise. He did not doubt that what Sir George Grey had done with land was exceed ingly agreeable to many persons in the colony, includ ing land sharks and speculators in land, and those also who honestly thought that land ought to be cheaper He need not remind the house of the distinguishing feature of the New Zealand Act, that for the first time the colonists had conceded to them the unreserved control over their own lands I and he had always considered that that was a wise, and that it was undoubtedly a great con cession. That was granted to the colonists themselves, and the simple charge against Sir George Grey was, that he took on himself to exercise that great authority that had been given not to him, but to the colonists, and he issued a proclamation makiog the most sweeping changes in the price of land, and lowering the price in many cases half, and in others three quarters. No doubt lie might have done worse, but what was objected to was the principle of what he did. The first clause of the act said that it should be lawful for the General Assembly to make laws for the disposal of the waste lands of the Crown. The justification was said to be founded on the 79th clause, which said that it should be lawful for her Majesty, by letters patent, or by a document under the sign manual, to delegate to the governor any of the powers reserved to her Majesty as to the sale of waste lands. One question was, whether this power had been delegated to the governor, and they were informed that such instructions were not to be found, though it was said broadly in reply that the power had been legitimately exercised. He quite admitted that the late Government and some members of the present Government, and the noble duke most of all, were to blame for allowing the slightest ambiguity, for so alive had he been to this matter, that in another act it was at his instance that words were put in distinctly providing that governors should not have the power to lower the price of land. But what had been said was not literally correct, for no such instructions could be found. He was almost bound to believe that there were such instructions, for he was told so by the highest authority—(hear) —and he was bound to think that there must be some confusion of memory, and that the document referred to was the one which they had before them. There were despatches on the 16th and 21st of July, and the second of them did lands,t e l the but gov ernorwas that o h have e had t in p v o ui r w nt d e n r oe ut of ft et(l deal le y despatch w e r i r t o l n these eouosf the 16th of July; but that wa s i n for that gave no such power.

It might have been necessary in individual uses, or in dealing with the natives, that the governor should have some such power, but it should be exercised with the ut most care. On the next point he had to inform the house, what would be startling news to those who took an interest in this subject, that the views he had taken had been taken in the colony and submitted to 1 the Supreme Court, and twice over, on argument, the I the Court had adopted them, and a solemn injunction had been issuey by that court, restraining all parties from acting in the matter, and yet the governor took no more notice than if the injunction had been waste paper, and the Supreme Court a nullity. He should like to havekorn o wh still dnneo a the Queen's more eunudn under under hi tescircumstances u e mh n es c at h ad under cLesor? d its spvehpnyrme every present tr would o e pn a el d rd , - governor it,ooor n ivttfs ehooborrenoens.neteohnnr the matter Hadh e i t anged e rau d gn atneet o N sesn y tt.rs i t t h a d t h v e e r t m a n t t a e r f e w w o u w l d o r h d a s v t e b o t e h e e n a s n e s n w t e t r o s question na lie ndo wb was ebeen n whether; p ebo pending such sure nhh gefor whether stn h we e bt t ooi heeumnrr, months, hadn therettho k,beennah on a wd d issued, but the f ac t was notorious. It was said that the there was, in fact, evidence that he had been told of it. There was two letters informing him of it, and one of them from a gentleman, who asked what he was to do in consequence of the conflict between the proclamation and the injunction. But it was said that Chief Justice Martin had reviewed and reversed the injunction. But he had no power to review it. Then it was said that the governor was told that this injunction was not to be acted on ; but the injunction was there, and ought to have been acted on. On another part of this matter he might state that the act arri ve d i n the colony on the 22d December, 1852, and the General Assembly was not to meet until 17 months afterwards. It was said that the governors used all possible expedition, but that was not so ; and he had seen a letter of a gentleman, an opponent of the governor, in which every possible reason was suggested, but this one was not mentioned. He had taken the full time to the last minute before he issued the writs to return members ; and when he issued them, he did not appear to have named any time for the return of those writs. There wero other argum en t s upon this point which he would only just take notice of. It was said that the governor could not call together the General Aseembly till the returns had been notified. It might as well be said that he should have known the electors before he issued the writs. The consequences of the delay in the calling together of the General As sembly, were an illegal appropriation for several months of the whole of the revenues of New Zealand. It was said that the governor was in an inevitable dilemma. But if the governor found a difficulty in calling the as sembly together, he ought to have continued the old council in their functions till the General Assembly w as formed. It was said that he acted in the complete spirit of the act. But he issued of his own authority an ukase by which he transferred two-thirds of the revenue to the provincial council s and kept one-third for general purposes. The first bad effect of those proceedings on the provincial councils of the six middle provinces was that they participated in the illegal appropriation of this money, whilst others were driven to refuse what the governor had offered them, and levied the revenue on their own limited authority. ' lie believed that, in the difficulty in which they were placed, the latter took the right course ; but, in the first working of a constitutional system, it was maid to throw on these little provincial legislatures sitch onerous and deli cate duties. From the want of the controlling power of the General assembly, the provincial councils were crippled, and were unable to decide whether they had power to deal with the waste latifls and if so, to what extent. The governor was calleclku; by Sir J. Pakington to select the nominated members of the upper house. That he did not do at all. He lrst waited to see who would be elected by the people, as 'if that was of the slightest moment. If be had ;panted those who were elected, all that would have happined would have been a second election in that case. He wished also to have another paper—viz., that which'referred to the leave of absence of the governor, because till he saw the despatch he would never believe that he "bad been authorised to leave the colony till the GeneraUkssernbly and the con stitution bad been in operation. Sir G. Grey had been rewarded and promoted, but notwithstanding that he did not believe his noble friend seVuld, defend him on all the points he bad referred to. It•wair a right principle no doubt to defend at home tlis acts of the colonial governors, but still more itnporiant.was the defence of the rights and interests of the colonists, and the obedi ence and respect which was d ue ,from .all governors to the law. He knew the little interest that subjects like the present created at home, butpe believed, it would be some satisfaction to the colonist ..944that at least one voice was raised in denunciation as—arlii, trary and as indefensible as ever ; came under the notice of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of NEWCASTLEtaaid that he sincerely deplored the state of the house 5t that moment (there were but ten peers present), use when the charac ter and policy of an eminent mai like Sir G. Grey were at stake it was most desirable, for the sake of the house and the country, thata greater number should be present to listen both to the attack and the defence. (Hear.) He was sorry that his noble friend had not brought for ward the whole of the charges against Sir G. Grey, be cause the public might be apt to draw erroneous infer ences when he heard from his noble friend that there were other charges which he left untouched. He was glad to learn, however, that these charges, whatever they were, were of a trivial and insignificant character. His noble friend concentrated his attack on two heads, first, the conduct of the governor in reducing the price of the waste land ; and secondly, his delay in bringing the constitution into operation. His noble friend said that was a great boon, which had been marred and em bittered by the way in which it was carried out. Hi s noble friend said that the governor acted contrary to strict legal right in reducing the price of the waste lands, as the act gave him no such power. His noble friend might be a very good lawyer, but he (the Duke of New castle) would rather take the opinion of the legal gentle. men who drew up the act of Parliament, and said that t that 0 the it did give the governor power reduc? price of he waste lands. That was certainly the act, and instructions were subsequently Pakington, authorising the governor to carry out these intentions. The governor, therefore, did not actthe issued intentionhy SirJ. illegally But then came the question ifit was politicwaste lands. His adosd. wise. nob in reduc ing lefrien the dsaid it e of was the of the grossest exercises of discretion that an y go vernor had been ever guilty of. But he beli eve d hi s no ble friend was igno rant of the circumstan ces un d er w hich this discretion prie one had been exercised. The price of land in the colony when the instructions were sent out was 11 - per acre, and Sir G. Grey had to consider what the general as sembly would be likely to do on that subject. If; in deed, the governor anticipated the generl assembly in reducing the price of land with the object of depriving that body of the pleasure and popularity which that act t s t To i ffih Parliament. sdat charge hl n i w aa would give them, he would consider with his noble friend that it was an improper act of discretion. But such was not the case. The land in the possession of the crown, with which the assembly would have the power of dealing, was at the time very limited indeed. But there was another class of land over which the natives held rights appertaining to them not as indivi duals but as tribes, and which furnished a constant source of discord between them and the colonists. One class of colonists, who, he thought, took the just view of the case, considered that they had no right to any of these lands, except what they obtained from the natives by purchase ; whilst another class of colonists main tained that the crown had by prerogative a right over all lands, unless a clear counter-claim could be es tablished by the natives. Sir G. Grey had obtained a power and influence over the natives such as no pre vious governor ever had ; and, in consequence of that power and influence, lie induced„them to do what they had always before-refoaed;-• :' ' -„tor—a.n...iu, significant sum a vast tract o - mid - tlThipend the purchase money in re-buying Llnueh of the land as they wanted for their individuat'purposes. Thus, nearly the' whole of Middle Island,,,; as well as other parts, became -vested in the Crown, and were handed over to the General Assembly to be dealt with by them cleared of all tribal rights. Sir G. Grey reduced the price from 1/. per acre to 10s. per acre ; but he did not extend the reduction to those parts of New Zealand where such a step would be detrimental. He did not, for example, extend it to the Canterbury settlement, in which his noble friend took so great an interest. His noble friend said that an injunction had been obtained from the Supreme Court against the governor. That was quite true. An injunction was applied for and obtained by two gentlemen who had just arrived in the colony ; but that injunction was never issued. His noble friend insinuated that the judges were afraid to do so, as the governor had power to remove them. No doubt such a power was given to the governor to meet cases of great exigency and delinquency ; but if those gentle. men thought that Sir G. Grey intended to make such a monstrous use of his power on that occasion, it was their duty to have put the matter to the test by applying for the issue of the injunction. He believed that the frivolous ,g rvi V hf l ia h avd v ti i tot: e c l ell e h r i 1 odt n e ueGioirsti g ov ernor ell : l n hye a tar o ha s r b gel exceededl fulfilled n e e o l fetar:l Assembly,i 1 tue only n tl ddi d 1 e referredaj rma gs ee the llhvte.a proceeding sdleotl nawyea a osw s fnihaioiectmhsd said h d is det , but that he had no other course to take. The next point said the governor had thrown in the way of the meeting extraordinary nature. It was not said that the governor :ny timeot bewithinm a u w , authorised e I b i which each tn e h a ce c a h ar crs carrying i p onf a g r p a o t au e r ti a i o c a ft was to be performed. What was said was that he had rnent. Even if this were true, which it was not, a more the constitution for the Cape he believed that the nor there delayed till the last day allowed by . the act Parliament ; and that the same thing happenede awcheon constitutions were put into action ri otlier colonies. But Sir Geor ge G rey issued his time reclamation for th e General Ass em bl y i n half the p that Ras allowed by the act of Parliament. Everything was done within 12 months, and seeing that the provinces were distant from each other, and that the sea intervened in some case,, he did not think th a t t h e governor was liable to any charge on the ground o f delay. (Hear, hear.) The g overnor was justified in keeping within the law in all the steps he took, for there were no indications of an in tention to dispute those Steps. In the alleged appropria- the governor had acted not only rightly, but legally; he had handed over to his successor the funds which were in possession at the time he came into office. When Sir George Grey, the governor of NO W Zealand had ap plied for leave of absence, it had been granted by the Colonial-office, the colony being then in the best possible state. He had been 13 years out o f England, having gone from South Australia to New Zealand as a means of saving that colony. He was now accused of coming home too soon, having left in this country a mother in infirm health, who died before 'he reached this country. (Hear, hear.) On his first appearance at the Home-Office, he ' had expressed his readiness to return to New Zealand without delay, if that were considered necessary for the i n t erests of the country. He (the duke) rejoiced that his last act as Co lonial Secretary was to reward amildnd p ro mote Sir Georg e Grey. (Hear, hear.) liecould n?t belie ve that those were the best friends of good colonial government who running down the officersengaged • took pleasure in _ in f this countr carrying out the views o _ o _ __ y. in selecting Sir G. Grey for the governorship tN ew Zealand, he had sought to appoint a manwho would prevent another Zulu war. (Hear, hear.) Lord LYTTELTON replied, and the motion was agreed to. COMMONS INCLOSTJRE (No. 2) BILL. The second r eading of this bill was postpo ne d . INSPECTORS OF NUISANCES BILL. This bill was ßA readßauspecTcol, time. Nic &c., BILL. . This bill was reported, with amendments. Their lordships adjourned at a few minutes before eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho Lords' amendments to the Newport Dock Bill and the Portsmouth Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The Londonderry and Coleraine Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Sir H. HALFORD, from a place in Leicestershire, in favour of ocean penny postage ; by Lord HOTRAM and other members, against the opening of public-houses on Sunday; by Mr. M. GIBBON, from the corporation of Manchester, praying that the Nuisances Removal Bill may not pass into a law in its present shape; by Mr. BASS, from the Derby Gas Light and Coke Com pany, against the Nuisances Removal and Diseases Pre vention Acts Consolidation and Amendment Bill ; by Sir J. V. KELLY, from the churchwardens and ratepayers of St. Clement Danes, complaining of the water supply of the metropolis, and praying the house to appoint a com mittee to inquire into the subject. CHOLERA ON BOARD EMIGRANT SHIPS. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL asked if the attention of the Government has been called to the recent cases of outbreak of cholera on board of emigrant ships, in particular to that of the ship Dirigo, chartered by the Emigration Commis sioners for Melbourne; and whether, taking these cases in to account, and the extensive mortality from cholera in the omigratim of last autumn, and that from in_the Bill. spring of thisyear, the Government will not, in pursuance of one of the recommendations of the Emigrant Ships' Com mittee, pass a bill this session, to enable Liar Majesty, by an' order in Council, to stop emigration from any port where cholera, or any other epidemic, may prevail, during the time of its prevalence. Mr. F. PEEL sa id th ese cases were greatly to be re sebootfaktehne like t h L e i e v p e i r d p e oo m l i .c shHoouilvderienrc.reaifsei,nstetphsewcootialra grettei, but it was i m p oss ibl e t o stop emigration from a autumn port to restrict emigration. TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN. Mr. HEYWOOD wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it is intended to create exhibition s in Trinity College, Dublin, open to students without any re ligious test, and when and from what funds such exhibi tions will be provided. Sir J. YOUNG replied that the governing board of the college were about to take steps to increase the value and number of the exhibitions, and they would be thrown open to all sects and denominations. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. This bill was brought . down from the Lords in an amended form. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the bill be reprinted as amended, and that the Lords' amendments be taken into consideration on Thursday next. THE INDIAN ARMY. Mr. OTWAY asked the President of the Board of Con trol whether it was his intention to recommend to her Ma jesty that the officers of the — lndian Army should be placed in regard to the recognition of their rank in this country, and the other European poisessions of her Ma jesty, in the same position as they are in countries east ward of the Cape of Good Hope? Sir C. WOOD could not take upon himself to make such a recommendation. In fact it was net in his power to do so. MORTMAIN BILL. Mr. HADFIELD asked Mr. Headlam what con to pursue thia_seasium.44ltrestruut_tOlie Mr. HEADLAM said if the Government would not give him an opportunity of submitting the further considera tion to a full house, he certainly should not proceed with it this session. Lord J. RUSSELL could tot promise a day at present, but he woilld endeavour to fix one if possible next week. DRESS OF THE ARMY. Sir G. HEATHCOTE asked the Secretary-at-War, whether measures have been taken to carry out the amelio rations announced to the house in the clothing and dress of the army, both at home and abroad ; and also in the equipments of the soldier, with the view to render them less burthensome, and more adapted to actual service : And, whether hospital waggons for the conveyance of the sick and wounded have been despatched to the seat of war ? Mr. S. HERBERT replied to the last question, first, such waggons had been sent out, and must have reached the army ere this. With regard to the first question, the change would not take place until next year, but in the course of the autumn additional woollen clothing would be sent out for the use of the troops in the East. He might, perhaps, be allowed to take the opportunity of cor recting an erroneous impression that prevailed in the public mind as to the weight of the soldier's kit. It was not so heavy as that ; of the French kit, owirg to the amount of ammunition which the French soldier had to carry. PROMOTION IN THE ARMY. Colonel NORTH asked the Secretary at War iiky the report of the Commissioners, upon Military PromMions, laid upon the table of the house on the 7th inst., and pub lished in all the newspapers, had not yet been delis-prod to members of the h ouse ? Mr. S. HERBERT said the report was published first in the newspapers, for the convenien ce o f mem b ers as well as the public, for, from the pressure of business at the public printer's of the house, the report, although it was prepared some days ago, would not be got ready for delivery until to-day. BISHOPRIC OF NEW ZEALAND. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Colonial Secretary if, he had received a letter from Sir G. Grey, the late Geyer4or of Now Zealand, holding out a prospect that the'local. legislature of that colony would make good the stipend of the bishop of New Zealand. Sir G. GREY had received no letter, but he had had. a conversation on the subject. Whether the result of that conversation had been reduced to writing he could not say, but he would inquire. Sir J. PAKING-TON—And produce the memorandum. Sir G. GREY—Yes; if there is any. DISTRICT LETTER-CARRIERS. Mr. NEWDEGATE inquired if the Postmaster-General had made any .new arrangement in reference to the pay ment of the district letter-carriers ? Mr. J. WILSON replied that a committee of inquiry had recently been appointed to inquire into the Post-office arrangements, and their report had been presented to the Treasury, and would in a few days be laid before the house. That report, amongst other matters, referred to the pay of the letter-carriers, and the relative position of the district and general letter-carriers, and if that report should be sanctioned, the Postmaster-General would pro ceed to act upon it. Mr. V. SCULLY—Does that report'refer to the pay of the letter-carriers and postmasters of Ireland ? Mr. J. WILSON—No ; the inquiry was confined to the London office. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, Lord J. RUBSILL said that on Monday nest he pro peed, the ota ittr-thhewnier 11Wi army department in committee of supply. - • POSTAGE OF PRINTED PAPERS. Mr. M. GIBSON—When will the Secretary of the Tree. eury lay upon the table of the house the now Treasury inf. nute he informed us was in course of preparation in refer ence to the conveyance of printed papers by the Post•olsce —that is, for permitting a larger weight to be carried than is now allowed ? Mr. J. WILSON said the minute in question had for its object merely to make the weight allowed to pass through the Post-office correspond with the increased dimensions of newspapers sanctioned under the recent change of the Newspaper Stamp Act. BRIBERY BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Progress was resumed at clause 17, which provides for the appointment of an officer for auditing election ex penses' to be called an electi on o ffi cer . Mr. V. SCULLY moved as an amendment, to leave out of clause 17, from and including " provided always," in line 26 of page 7, down to and including " election officer," in line 31 of the same page, with corresponding alterations in subsequent part of the bill. Sir J. SHELLEY said this clause applied to the candi• dates ; and before they went further they ought to define what a candidate was. Was every person who said he should be a candidate, but did not go any further, to have a share in the appointment of the auditor? Ho thought that the appointment of the election officer should be made after the nomination, and he suggested that the words " previous to" be left out of the clause and the word " after" inserted. Sir F. KELLY said that the word " nomination" was used in the bill in its popular sense, and what was meant by the candidates were the persons who appeared in that character at any time before the day of election ; and they " might" agree among themselves who was to be the election officer. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to take this opportunity of expressing his views on this important part of the bill. He believed they owed the notion of an election officer to his hon. and learned friend the member for Suffolk, and he (Sir J. Pakington) thought that tho appointment of such an officer, if carried out properly, was one of the most im portant steps towards putting an end to bribery that had yet been suggested ; and therefore the greater should be the care taken with regard to the manner in which that officer was appointed. Mr. WALPOLE said the select committee considered it advisable that the candidates should concur in the appoint ment of the election officer, and that it was a matter of the greatest importance that he should be appointed before the day of nomination, but as the clause stood if the candidates did noticoneur in the appointment the returning officer could not appoint him till the day of nomination, because lie could not know till 12 o'clock the night previous that they would not concur. It was considered by the select committee that if the candidates did not concur the re turning officer was the proper person to make the appoint ment. He did not think it would be satisfactory, that the appointment should be by the sheriff. There seemed to be a misapprehension as to the character of the election officer. He was not a judicial officer, but a ministerial officer, whose duty it was to audit and pay the election bills. Mr. BRIGHT said it was intended by the select commit tae that this officer snould be some reepectable trustworthy person who should merely pay the bills with the money furnished to him by the candidates. There was no necessity whatever to have a lawyer to do this. The hon. and learned gentleman (Sir F. Kelly) was in favour of having barristers. Now, he should like to know if, at a general election, they were to have 400 barristers thrown loose upon society. (Laughter.) Besides, the connexion between lawyers and arithmetic was not a very close one, anti though lawyers might be better able to get in money than other people, he did not know that they were better payers. (Laughter.) He did not think that the appoint ment of this officer by the sheriff would be at all satis factory to the boroughs, and, indeed, he thought it would be the worst mode of appointment that could be. If the candidates could not agree the law might be framed in such a manner that if there was a particle of honesty in the person appointed there would be no difficulty. The election officer would not have near as much power to act in a party spirit as the returning officer had. He did not think it made much difference whether the appointment was made previous to or after the election. Mr. E. DENISON remarked that if this bill passed the agent of a candidate could not even pay for his post-horses that conveyed him from place to place during his canvass, but such expenses must be paid through the election office. He thought the election officer ought to be ap pointed by the time that the expenses began to be in curred. Mr. WALPOLE said by the interpretation clause` er .` p a _ e sonal expenses," which might be incurred by a candidate included travelling expenses to and from the place of elec tion. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps those words oug ht to be a little extended. Sir F. KELLY said expenses were necessarily incurred before the day of election which could not always be on credit; and as the payment of ready money would be an infraction of the act, ho thought the appointment ought to take place previous to the election. Mr. HENLEY thought the committee was placed in a position of extreme difficulty. Three months ago the bill was sent to a select committee, and now they found that they had got this clause, and that all the following clauses were taken from a bill intended for totally different ma chinery. All candidates were to concur in the appoint mentofficer.personsA Cc e t a e n d d ais of this What was a canaldil el date date" was in the first place to mean members to serve in Parliament at such election." That was, of course, clear; but then the definiti on went on to include "all other persons who have been, or are about to be, nominated or proposed as candidates at such election." But how was a returning officer to know who was about to Hear, and laughter.) The hon, member be proposed ? ( fol. Leominster said that a banker's clerk would do as well for the office as a barrister, his functions being merely Ministerial. He (Mr. Henley) thought, however, that his duties would be about as delicate and difficult as could be well conceiVed, Without his sanction. A 041440 would [PRICE SD. not be able to compound an action or suffer it to go by de fault. That he thought was a very considerable power to entrust to any one. (Hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said they all know the wonderful acumen which the right hon. gentleman always brought to bear upon the clauses of a bill : but ho must say he had never known him exercise his powers more con amore than he bad clone with respect to the measure now before the committee. (Hear.) The right hon. gentle man, however, would admit that the bill was a most im portant one—(Mr. Henley :—" Hear") —and therefore it was the duty of every member to endeavour to make it as efficient as possible. lie thought that the effect of a clause by which it was provided that all payments with re spect to elections should be made through a responsible officer, and that the accounts should afterwards be pub lished to the world would be a far better preventative of corruption than any penal clause which they could devise. (Hear, hear.) At the same time he must freely admit that the difficulties that stood in the way of the appoint ment of this °dicer by the candidates themselves appeared to him to be insuperable. (Hear, hear.) The objection to le'aVing the appointment to tbe judgesor revising barristers was, that they could have no local knowledge. It must therefore be left to the sheriff of the county, or to the re. turning officer ; and of the two he preferred the latter. It might be said that returning officers were subject to par tiality; but after all this new duty would be a trivial one compared with those which they had already to perform ; and which, in the great majority of cases, they did perform in a perfectly satisfactory manner. He thought that the power of deciding whether an action should be compounded or not was indispensable to prevent collusion. (Hear, hear. As for the time at which the appointment should be made, he was of opinion that the election auditor should be chosen by the returning officer immediately after his own appointment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MASSEY agreed with the right hon. and learned gentleman, but he doubted whether bribery could be pre. nal enacticauktik— Lord. RUSSELL thortaht that it was, at any rate, 'isnent of the .4t # W.. 11 4 1 1 J agreed with what had falle n f rom th e Attorey-Ueneral, and he proposed to make the clause run thus :—" The sheriff of every county, and the returning officer of every city or borough, shall, immediately after his appointment appoint an election officer, to be called ' The auditor of election expenses.'" (Hear.) Sir F. KELLY said he had drawn up a new clause, which - he thought would answer the purpose better than that of the'noble lord. "Once in every year, in the month of August, the returning officer of every place returning a member or members to serve in Parliament, shall appoint an election officer to be called `The auditor of election ex penses,' to act at every election during the year then next ensuing." Mr. J. E. DENISON thought the election auditors should give some security that the funds placed at their disposal should be forthcoming when required to pay the election bills. Sir . F: KELLY observed that the money was to be paid into a bank, and thence drawn out by cheques signed by the election auditor, countersigned by the candidate. •GROGAN said if M 1; Massey would move the omission of the clause, he should have his support. (Hear.) • Mr. G. H. VERNON preferred the appointment of the election officer by the returning officer immediately after his own. The returning officer would then be responsible for his own nominee. Mr. HILDY.A_R.D expressed some alarm lest the validity of elections should be endangered by the irregularity of the election auditor's appointment. He had never seen a bill in his life which laid more trapfalls for candidates than did this bill, and the committee ought therefore to be doubly cautions in deciding upon its phraseology. Mr. J. FITZGERALD reminded the hon. and learned member that it would be no duty of the candidate to in quire into the appointment of the election officer. Captain BENTINCK suggested that this election officer should be a permanent officer, holding his office during good behaviour. ...Mr. BONHAM-CARTER thought the difficulty in this matter was to decide when a man became a a ndidate Very oft en i t was very long before the electi on took c place, atid all this time expense s were being otnhstantg:lndcurred. Under these circumstances he thought set np some landmarks, from which the electio e n y o s fficer should • have power to start in authorising the payment of expenses. ' Mr. NEWDEGATE concurred very much with what had fallen from the last speaker, and unless they decided what should be, and what should not be, election expenses, there would be no end to disputes and litigation under this bill. Let the committee, then, put some words in this clause which should clearly and explicitly define what election expenses were. Tho latter part of this bill was objectionable; and it'seemed to him that, in their anxiety to guard against bribery, they were exposing members to penalties and imputations that could have no other effect than seriously.to lower the cnaracter of the house in the estimation of the country. With regard to the appoint ment of the election officer, he thought the responsibility of the office ought to rest with the returning officer, and not with his nominee. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said the discussion had not re moved his objections, and he must therefore persevere in pressing upon the attention of the committtee the views which he had propounded in the early part of this debate. The bill gave them no security for the character and pro per conduct of this election officer, while he was very much afraid,,if,they entrusted his appointment to the re turning officer, the whole -matter might end in a local job. (Hear, hear.) Upon these grounds he did look at the clause with great suspicion, and he must again object to estrus -shad acq uir ed the rad "or wo n t iscciired *me her equally respo'nsalii position. (Hear, hear.) Lord R. GROSVENOR was verry sorry to add his voice to the objections which had been raised against this clause, but it appeared to hina that if they passed it in its present shape , it would be difficult for any one to decid e w h a t th e l aw of election really was. Mr. BRIGHT believed all parties were agreed upon two points, viz., to get rid of this scandal on elections, and that the subject was a difficult one. (Hear, hear.) He thought all who had voted against the ballot were bound to agree in the adoption of the most stringent provisions for the purpose of lessening the evil, and to show that the ballot was unnecessary. Mr. HENLEY thought the more the clause was dis cussed the greater was the difficulty that presented itself in reference to it. The hon. member for Manchester had suggested that those who opposed the ballot should sup port this clause but that the ballot would be the most satisfactory remedy. He differed from the hon. member. He believed that with the ballot there would be more bribery than now, and he did not see, that, as an opponent of the ballot, he was bound to vote for this clause. The hon. gentlemen had further said that they would probably have the opportunity of judging of the effect of this pro posal in the elections for the boroughs, which, by the sus• pension of the writs were now unrepresented ; but he (Mr. Henley) did not attach much value to that experience. Ho believed with the noble lord (Lord Grosvenor) that the effect of the clause would be to surround the candidate with traps and pitfalls, and he hoped therefore it would not be persisted in. Lord . J. RUSSELL reminded those hon. gentlemen who considered that the effect of this clause would be to sur round the candidates with traps and pitfalls, that there were traps and pitfalls existing as the law now stood. (Hear, hear.) L a st y ear th ey had more than a u sua l num ber of ? charges of bribery at the previous general election, and more than the usual number of members were un seated on that ground, many of whoin he would venture to say had no intention when they became candidates of securing their seats by corrupt means. But the position of things was such under the existing system, that a candidate honestly desiring to confine himself to the strict legal expenses, might find, six months after his election, that, unknown to him, large sums of money had been expended on his behalf in bribery, and might lose his seat in consequence. This was no unusual occurrence, and ho thought it would be a great security, therefore, if, by any plan like that provided in those clauses, they could be sure that all the legal expenses incurred at the election should bo published, and that the person who expended the money should know that if the published amount were exceeded, he would not be entitled to recover it from the candidate. He could not but think that the end to be ob tained by this clause was important ; viz., that the ex penses of elections, which they knew to be now enormous, should be limited to the strict legal charge; and ho believed that if candidates and those who were concerted in elections were to agree to place the accounts of each election in the hands of an officer appointed for the purpose, and that those accounts should be pub lished, and open to the inspection of every elector, that a very considerable check would be placed upon corrupt practices. (Hear, hear.) Whether they called such officer an election officer or an auditor of election expenses mattered not, the proposal was the same. But by means of that person publicity should be given of all the election accounts, and he could not but consider that the effect ef such publicity would be that the expenses of electio ns b r j e o a o t t l i y o oa diminished ble m wo u n c i h d le l s 'e s objectionable now renderedtoo nd corruptin amount, thai t a h n e d y frequently were. (Hear.) But it had been under this clause many questions of great difficultyurgedwothoaldt e s respon sibility an election began, or where the e them begi inni beginning the f p t r h e :- arise, and that, for instance, it would so b th e d d i aq ffi tau c ne, u sd l t t riiof t n o s sa o y f they this sib il kindty commenced. that might were called upon Nrooqudioruebtmot would eve r o n o o a n t t e b t o h e f e l likely now in th c h h ere de w ba e te re , mseonnttbhillo,fhjouadmittedly,orte stehtetyle e bill in month of February, to pass the the present session • men would be able, he apprehended, to —that practical o ven if they w solve those questions tolerably well when they come before them; and if it were contended before an election com mittee that a gentleman, because he might have exhibited great hospitality and great liberality in the borough or v o s i influence disposet the electors, t ootr suchs, he an thought allegation.o ght the cou nty five or six years before, had done so as a can did ate, and h a w vioeuw t ld ry so eonnce (Hear, hear.) He 'hoped for th e reasons he had stated committeewit that his hon. friend, the chairman of the committee, would not be a party to the withdrawal of the clause. Sir J. SHELLEY remarked that as his oie ; : (Cheersi o the appointment of the election officer by L e e c le a n ndl 'e ate, and as he underst)od the noble lord was about to move a proviso to prevent that, the difficulty he had felt in the matter was removed. He believed the ballot was the only effectual remedy for bribery at elections, but he felt bound to unite with those who thought differently when they proposed a measure • which they considered would cure the evil. Mr. J. G. PIIILLIMORE proposed that the election officer should be appointed, not by the returning officer, but by the revising barrister in England and the assistant barrister in Ireland. Mr. G. VERNON thought the returning officer ought to be the person responsible for the appointment. He hoped the original suggestion of the noble lord would be adopted. After au observation from Sir F. KELLY, suggesting that the election officer should be appointed annually in the mouth of August, some discussion followed on verbal amendments, which were proposed. At length the clause, as amended, was put by the chairman. On the que•tion that it stand part of the bill, Mr. BENTINCK moved that the clause be omitted. He said that if such an officer as this could be appointed with out the objections which were contained in the clause, he thought it would be an admirable thing. But-before ap• pointing such an officer two precautions should be taken, firstly, to en sur e that the appoi n t men t was pl a ced in such hands as to make it certain that a fit and proper pers 3 n would be appointed, and secondly, before the appointment of a person who was to have the sole control of all election • expenses, you were bound in justice to the candidates and electors to state what were and what were not legitimate expenses. Mr. CAIRNS said he thought it desirable that the clause should bo negatived unless some understanding was given that it would be brought forward in a different form. After a few words from Mr. GROGAN and Mr. L. HEY WORTH, Mr. V. SMITH, as a member of the select committee on this bill, wished to say that if there was one point on which the committee was agreed, it was the appointment of an election officer to audit the expenses of elections, The hon. member for Belfast said this officer had no discretion or jurisdiction, and that certainly was felt to be a difficulty in the committee; but the great point was the publication of election expenses, and he (Mr. V. Smith) had groat faith in that plan, and he believed that it would have the great est effect in deterring persons from the commission of bribery. He thought it the best and most important part of the bill. Sir F. 'KELLY said several of the objections which bad been taken to this clause arose not on the clause itself, but on others which followed it, and to which the oommittee had not yet come. This clause provided for the appoint ment of an election officer, to whom, and through whom, all election expenses were to be paid. The evil that they had to deal with was a most gnevons and enormous ono ; for in spite of election committees and other judicial action, bribery had gone on increasing until it had reached a magnitude which was most discreditable to the constitution and to the people of this country. He must remind the committee that the law with regard to what constituted bribery and other illegal practice would not be altered by this bill ; and all that the candidate or his agents would have to do would be to take care to pay no money except in the manner provided. (Cries of " Divide.") The only effect of this change in the law would be to prevent the misapplication of moneys which could not be avoided at present. After a few words from Mr. MALTS and Mr. W. WIL LIAMS, The committee divided— For the clause 133 Against it. Majority --59 Clause 18 was negatived. Clause 19 was agreed to, with some verbal amendments. On clause 20, which provides that the candidate or his agent shall, within two months of the day of the declara tion of the election, or within one month after the bill has been delivered, send it in to the election officer. 3lr. HILDY.A.RD objected to the shortness of the time, and moved as an amendment that the periods be three months and two months. The amendment was agreed to. PlGOUmoved to-alter the 5Ol. to 201. — This Was penalty Lord J. RUSSELL then moved that the furtherieilielir i . , of 201., imposed by th e same clause, be altered to 1 . Agreed to. The word " wilful" was also inserted before the word "default." In answer to Mr. MASSEY, Mr. WALPOLE said the committee thought that ; those penalties which involved disfranchisement, or the lose of seat, should be recovered only in a superior court, but that all the others shouldbe sued for in the county courts. Mr. MASSEY gave notice that he should move a proviso barring the jurisdiction of county courts in all cases. Mr. WALPOLE asked whether tinder the clause it would be unlawful to pay bills not sent in within the month. Sir F. KELLY said that if a tradesmen was inadver tently to omit sending in a bill, he could certainly not re cover it, yet if th e bill were a f a i r one there could be no foga) "abjection to its being paid. He felt very much dia. Poeedto support Mr. Massey's proviso. The, clause was then agreed to. On clause 21, which enacts that no payments are to be made except through the election officer, personal and ad vertising expenses excepted, the words " any money what• ever" were inserted after "claim" in the first line. Mr. E. DENISON thought there should be some limi• tation with regard t o ti me in connexion .with current ex penses. Mr. WALPOLE proposed to strike out the words "or in connexion with" in line two, which was agreed to. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said that by the operation of this bill the candidate would be involved in a network of difficulty out of which it would be impossible sometimes to escape. Lard SEYMOUR thought that the clause should more clearly define the tribunal before which the proof was to be made, whether before a court of law or a committee of the house. (Hear.) Mr. HILDYARD doubted if an election committee • would have jurisdiction if words were not introduced more clearly defining the tribnnalbefore which the proof was to be taken. It seemed to hint that it would be necessary to exclude registration expenses under this bill, because agents might be bribed indirectly in that way. He believed that a great number of election petitions would be presented under the hope of hitting the member through the opera• tion-of the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the penalty in the clause too severe, and was willing to adopt the amendment pro posed by the hon and learned member for Ennis. Mr. WALPOLE concurred in the same view. Mr. COBDEN said that by clause 33 the member was re quired to make a declaration'on taking his seat to the fol lowing effect I, 4.8., do solemnly and sincerely de clare, without any equivocation or mental reservation, that I have not knowingly made, authorised, or sanctioned, and that I will not knowingimake, authorise, or sanction any payment on account of my election, other than is al lowed by law under the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act of 1851. . Now, if the member who had tak e n h is sea t after that declaiation,4md who had violated the law was subjected to a penalty of only 101., it might appear that they were dealing in a different spirit twirds the mtmber, and towards the elect Ors, whom by previous clauses they struck off the lists. (Hear.) In assenting to the amend ment they should take care that they were not acting in consistently and more leniently towards themselves than towards the electors. Mr. J. G. PHILLIVORE said the object of the amend ment was not to avert the consequences of corrupt practices on the part of the members, but to guard against the con sequence that would arise-if some trilling payment had not passed through the hands of the election agent. Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to know if it was intended to assign a limit of time within which this provision was to operate. Mr. H. WILLOUGHBY said that customs varied in different boroughs, and money was often paid, not as bri bery, but because it was customary, as was the case with respect to chairing exre ises. His right hon. friend (Mr. Walpole) should append a schedule to the bill defining the expenses that might be paid and those that might not. Mr. WALPOLE said it would be impossible to define beforehand the expenses that would be legal and those that would not. The payments might not be unlawful in them selves, but the purpose and mode in which they were made would make them unlawful. Mr. HENLEY said that in that case it was of the first importance to define the time and circumstances under which the payments which were lawful in themselves were to become unlawfuL (Hear, hear.) Sir F. KELLY said, if they were to pass this bill at all, they must adhere to what were invariably considered legal expenses ; and the committee having already agreed to the appointment of an election officer, it was only right that all expenses which a candidate was put to, whether ordinary or extraordinary, should be made through him. Lord R. GROSVENOR viewed this clause with serious apprehension. The object of the bill was to obtain publi city, and that publicity being obtained by the appoint. , ment of a public officer, he could not understand why all the payments of an election should be made through the public officer. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COBDEN retorted, that if a payment was not made through the election officer, the assumption might, and ought to be, that it had been made for an illegal purpose. There might be reasonable exceptions to that rule, but until they had determined what these exceptions should ' be, they ought either to withdraw the clause or agree to it as it stood. Mr. FITZGERALD said the object of . his suggestion was to protect the candidate as well as the public. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it would be better to re. serve the question of a penalty for future consideration, and not include it in the clause. Mr. S. WORTLEY said the clause was surrounded with so much difficulty that it would be better to postpone it altogether. It was quite impossible to del ide what mut or what was not a a payment incident to thnelection. Mr. PIGOTT also thought there was a di ffi culty in de ciding what were election payments. . For in stance, didates were often called upon to cont r ibute towards n. repairctahefo t i h ho e a os of f e subscriptions o a tio ochurch o w r a race er to h o f fund, Lk an e f n i a hes payment wanted incidenti t not. WALPOLE had no hesitation in saying decidedly Mr. HILDYARD con tended u t liiatthbeo carried all members legislation u h d ne adr was useless, because bribery would the guise of the subscriptions w hic h Suggested. Suppose a coal fund we re established in a bo rough, and one candidate subscr ibed 1,0001. to it, w hil e the other declined to contribute anything to it, could the committee have any doubt in deciding which candidate would be returned? (Hear, hear.) Mr. V. SCULLY wanted to say a few words on this clause. (Cries of "Divide, divide," and " Brotherton. Brotherton.") Well, if the committee thought the time • had arrived for reporting progress, he would move that the chairman should do so accordingly. (Hear, hear.) Lord. J. RUSSELL hoped the committee would consent to dispose of this clause before they reported progress. On the question that the 21st clause should par t of stand of the bill, Lor&R. GROSVENOR moved that the claw should be omitted. Mr. WALPOLE gave a history of the clause on its pas sage through committee, and expressed his intention to vote against it if a division was taken. The committee then divided— For the clause l4B Against it , .. 67-81 The house then resumed. STAMP ACTS. ~~. The report of the committee altering the rate of the pre• sent duties was brought up. Mr. HADFIELD moved that the proposed rate be sr duced in one instance by one-sixth. Mr. WILSON hoped the hon. member would not call for a division at this mere formal stage of the proceed ings, seeing that opportunities would be afforded for PM' posing the amendment on the bill. Mr. HADFIELD intimated that he would divide, but the opinion of the house being obviously against him. aft" the house had been cleared for a division he consented to the amendment being negatived. The new schedule of duties was then put and agreed to. POOR-LAW COMMISSION CONTINUANCE (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into commi ttee on this bill, Colonel DUNNE objected unless the Government would consent to limit the duration of the commission for two years. (Oh, ob.) Sir J.
