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 rnoraent, 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 court 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, haying 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 completed the water will be 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. —Co2 k Constitution.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1854. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. purposes. The first bad effect of these 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. He 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 cruel to throw on these little provincial legislatures such 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 lands, and if so, to what extent. The governor was called on by Sir J. Pakington to select the nominated members of the upper house. That he did not do at all. He first waited to see who would be elected by the people, as if that was of the slightest moment. If he had named these who were elected, all that would have happened 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 had been authorised to leave the colony till the General Assembly and the con stitution had been in operation. Sir G. Grey had been rewarded and promoted, but notwithstanding that he did not believe his noble friend would defend him on all the points he had referred to. It was a right principle no doubt to defend at home the acts of the colonial governors, but still more important was the defence of the rights and interests of the colonists, and the obedi ence and respect which was due from all governors to the law. He knew the little interest that subjects like the present created at home, but he believed it would be some satisfaction to the colonists to find that at least one voice was raised in denunciation of proceedings as arbi trary and as indefensible as 'ever came under the notice of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) 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 her 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 said those eases were greatly to be re grata, but it was impossible to stop emigration from a port like Liverpool. However, if in the course of the autumn the epidemic should increase, stops would be taken to restrict emigration. TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord CAMPBELL gave notice of his intention to move an amendment, when the house went into com mittee on the Navigation Bill, for the purpose cf getting rid of 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. Mr. FIEYWOOD wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it is intended to create exhibitions 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 i the,Board of Con trol whether it was his intention to recommend to her Ma jesty that the officers of the Indian Army should be placed in regard to the recggni,tion of their rank in this country, and the other European , possessions of her Ma jesty, in the same position' as they are in countries east ward of the Cape of Good Sipe? • Sir C. WOOD could not take upon himself to make such a recommendation. In fact it was not in his power to do so. , The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that he sincerely deplored the state of the house at' that moment (there were but ten peers present), because when the charac ter and policy of an eminent. man like Sir G. Grey were at stake it was most desirable, for the sake of the house and the country, that a, 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 I 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 it did give the governor power to reduce h price of the waste lands. That was certainly the intention of 9 lid not act . intentions. The governor; therefore, l lauds. But the price . of the waste s. illegally in reducing , p a c a t ici .a n n g d t °n instructions aethe r iauthorising eg were thesubseque ntly governor te ieses(rureyd outby Sir u Ie e . the e l g it r ic es a e n e d t w ß i u s t e. the H n iene came the question if' it of die b er le eti f e ri n en t d ha s t ai a d ey it g s e va v i ei e e n e w e r guilty of. But he believed his noble friend was igno oahfsad been ever rant of the circumstances under which this discretion had been exercised. The price of land in the. colony exercises . when the instructions were sent out Was 1/. 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 general assembly in reducing the price of land with the object of depriving that body of the pleasure and popularity which that act 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' etown, 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 sthe 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, he induced them to de what they had always before refused—natnely t. ,to sell,tor au in significant sum a vast tract atid - r6.':eli3ehd 'thr purchase money in re-buying so much of the land as they wanted for their individual purposes. Thus, nearly the whole of Middle Island, as well as other parts, became vested in the Crown, nod were handed over t o the General Assembly to be dealt with by them cleared of all tribal rights. Sir G. Grey reduced the price from U. 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 governor was not only justified in proceeding as be did, but that he had no other course to take. The next point which his noble friend referred to was the delay which he said the governor had thrown in tho way of the meeting of the General Assembly. This charge was one of a most extraordinary nature. It was not said that the governor had literally fulfilled the act of Parliament. It was not said h d. sail t pltfnww t ,rh l oi l ai:ace a ,vrrsin t ,t:cttiet l l h:. i odo e tTetnithrs e isteeet ; ,niel c vtidith)eu e eetia e t; idarifogieiye:nn.ieditidifnactitloseoli were the uld :iinry:ec e o.

Everything months, and seeing that th e provinces were distant from w as done in so within niecas es, he did not think that the governor was liable to any charge on the ground of delay. (Hear, hear.) The governor was justified in keepi ng withi n th e l a w in all the steps he took, for there were no indications of an in tention to dispute those steps. In the alleged appropria tion, the governor had acted not only rightly, but legally; he had handed over to his successor the funds which of t a h h e e g e o e v ee e , rn it or were in possession at the time he came i nto office.

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 inter es t s o f th e country. He (the duke) rejoiced that his last act as Co lonial Secretary was to reward and promot e Sir George r.) Grey. (Hear, he a He could not believe that those were the best friends of good colonial government who took pleasure in running down the officers engaged in carrying out the views of this country. I n selecting Sir G. Grey for the governorship of New Zealand, he had sought to appoint a man who would prevent another Zulu war. (Hear, hear.) Lord LYTTELTON replied, and the motion was agreed to. COMMONS INCLOSURE (No. 2 ) BILL. The second reading of this bill was postponed. INSPECTORS OF NUISANCES BILL. This bill was read a second time. BANKRUPTCY, ttc-, BILL. This bill was reported, with amendment s . 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. The Lords' amendments to the Newport Dock Bill and the Portsmouth Railway Bill were considered and agr ee d to. The Londonderry and Coleraine Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Sir H. SALFORD, from a place in Leicestershire, in favour of ocean penny postage ; by Lord HOTHADI and other members, against the opening of public-houses on Sunday ; by Mr. M. GIBSON, from the corporation of Manohester, praying that th e N uisances Removal Bill may not pass into a law in its pr esen t s h ape; 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 th ese cases in to account , and the extensive mortality from cholera in the , emigration of last autumn, and that from Limerick in the THE BOARD OF HEALTH. The Earl of SHikFTESBURY in moving for papers relating to the Board of Health, entered into a defence of the members of the board in answer to what ho termed the unjustifiable attack which had recently been made upon them in another place, and which he con sidered could only be attributed either to extreme igno rance or malignity. It was asserted that the board had by its conduct completely checked the progress of sani tary reform, and by its despotic and overbearing behaviour had disgusted the whole country. (Hear, hear.) In no case, he stated, had the act been applied, 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 from Manchester and other places in the country which had been voluntarily sent, and the writers of which de clared that ;they believed the attacks were wholly un fotindell: 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 dne 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 he had no pleasure in bringing charges against any public man. The colonial goyernors 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 financiallrhe 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 he 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 ! 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 making the most sweeping changes in the price of land, and lowering the price in many cage. half, and in others three quarters. No doubt he might have done worse, but what was objected to was the principle of what be 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 exercise& 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 e in rr n o o n l e o o n u iai for thaterroneous, for tell theig(tivleernwoarstltioathat power it in to virtue ot, with desp these lands, despatch h ies o e f „ that no -nth instruction , had Keen received newspapers the 16th,oafv.eTunloy such; l)u t p t o h ll a , e t s He foundundoubtedly s could have br , n sPut, ""ld not conceit „„ ie , s i nce 1s:,O . H e „0,04 n ot lion Ally such iii T if t t:t .h l( Bt t , i, t i . n : Instructions could -n beyond the art it . eit. ti t accordance with in reference to waste laud ; but only is claur c confined the the law, and this wholesale lowering of t he p ice of land WYNN ' z in the a7',:ciiibly to make laws was in direct conflict with the previous act, The in and there was a very strong presumption that the power structions ought to have been under the si g n manual, had not been so delegated, for they would find that Sir John Pakington did delegate powers to deal with lands in Canterbury colony without any document u nder the sign manual, and therefore he was incredulous of any sign manual existing in this case. It might have been necessary in individual cases, 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 the Supreme Court, and twice over, on argument, the 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 Supieme Court a nullity. He should like to know what the Queen's Bench under its present head, D h or ay s e til d l o m ne ore un u d n e d r er th it late head, L circumstances oes or ? ci Iv e h n y m e a v n e , r w y o p ud e l r. son connected with the matter would have been sent to prison. H e must a d vert in a few words to the answers notto these been a charges. question H w e h w et as her mt such su re injunction had eehadbeen issued, but the fact was notorious. It was said that the governor did not know it ;. but he was bound to know it, for the matter had been pending for two months, and 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 ased 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 arrived in the colony on the 22e1 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 be bad 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 were other arguments upon this point which lie 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 lie 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. Bin 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 was 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, and kept one-third for general MORTMAIN BILL. Mr. HADFIELD asked Mr. Headlam what course he in- tended to pursue this session - with respect to the Mortmain Bill. 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 procebd with it this session. Lord J. RUSSELL could not promise a day at prespnt, but he would endeavo ur t o fi x o n e if p oss ibl e nex t week." DRESS OF THE ARMY. Sir G. HEATHOOTE asked the Secretary-at+War, whether measures have been taken to carry out the anaelio: 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 theta 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 lot the Ifie of the troops in the East. 'He might, perhaps; be allowed io take the opportunity of ctn.- 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, owing to the amouilt of ammunition which the French soldier had to carry. • t . , PROUOTI9N IN THE ARMY. Colon©t NORTH asked the Secretary at War why the report of the Commissioners upon Military Promotions, laid upon the table of the house on the 7th inst., and puh, lished in all the newspapers, had not yet been delivered to members of the house? , Mr. S. HERBERT said the report was published first the newspapers, for the convenienc e o f mem b ers as well as the public, for; from the prasure of business at the public printer's of the house, the report, although it was prepared some days ago, would • not begot ready for delivery until to-day. 'BISHOPRIC OF NEW ZEALAND. Sir J. PAKFNGTON asked the Colonial Secretary if he had received a letter from Sir G. Grey, the late Governor, of New Zealand, holding out' a prospect that the local' legislature of that colony•,woul4 stake good the stipend of the bishop 9f 41 - ew Zealand. Sir G. GREY had received no letter, but ho had had a donversatiorron the subject. Whether the result of that conversation had been.reduced to writing he could not say, but he would inquire. . Sir 1. PAKINGTON—And prOduce the memorandum. Sir'G. GREY—Yes ; if there is any. DISTRICT LETTER-CARRIERS. Mr. NEWDEGATE inquired if the Postmaster-General bad made ahy new arrangement in reference to the pay ment 'of the districtletter-carriers? Mr. J. IVILSONT replied that a ,committee of inquiry had recently been appointed to inquire into the Post-office arrangements, 'and theit report had been presented to tho Treasury, andA would in a few days be laid before the house. That report, ~amongst other .matters, referred to the pay of the 'letter-ckrriers, and the 'relative position of the district and general' letter-carriers, •aud if that report should bo sanctioned, the Postmaster-General would pro ceed to act upon it.

GIBSON—When will the Secretary of the Trea sury lay upon the table of the house the new Treasury mi nute he informed us was in course of preparation in refer ence to the conveyance of printed papers by the Post•office —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. BRIBER'S?: 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 election officer. 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? He 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. l'akin:ton) thought that the app ,, intment of such an ofti4;p,r, if carried out proppaly, was one of the mot tow:u.is petting ' A u end to bribery that had of, been 7ind 1,13?k - efor , the greater should be th e care t,,,k et , with 1.0 z .e.A. 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 not!concur in the appointment the returning officer could not appoint him till th e d a y o f nom i na ti on , because ho 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. Ho 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 reepectablo 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 bon. 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, and 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 bad. 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 "per 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 ought 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, he thought the appointment ought to take place previous to the electidn. 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 ment of this officer. What was a candidate ? A " candi date" was in the first place to mean "all persons elected as members to serve in Parliament at such election." That was, of course, clear; but then the definition 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 be proposed? (" Hear, and laughter.) The hon. member for Leominster said that a banker's clerk would do as well for the office as a barrister, his functions being merely Ministerial. lie (Mr. Henley) thought, howe ver, i that his d u ti es would be about as delicate and diffic ult as ono yived, Without his s anc ti on a can didate acoul d wourd3 [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 knew the wonderful acumen which the right hon. gentleman always brought to bear upon the clauses of a bill : but he must say ho had never known him exercise his powers more con amore than he had done 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 aa possible. He 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, anti that the accounts should afterwards be pub lished to the world would be a far better preventative of corruptionthan 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 officer by the candidates themselves appeared to him to be insuperable. (Hear, hear.) 'The objecti o n t o leaving the appoi n t men t t o the judges or fevising barristers waerthstrthey 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 t wo h o pre f erred 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 vented by penal enactments. Lord J. RUSSELL thought that it was, at any rate, worth while -to t the experiment of - the clause.. He agreed with what n•-from-the Attorney-General, and he proposed to make the clause run thus :--' 4(l Th6 sheriff of every county, and the returning officer of every city oat borough, shall, immediately after his appointment appoint an election offieer; 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 membeis to serve in Parliament, shall appoirt an election officer to be called `The auditor of electionmx penses,', to aft'at every , election during the year then - neit ensuing." Mr. - J. E. DENISOi4 thought the election auditors should gi9e"SOme security that the funds placed at their disposal should be forthcoming when required to pay the electiarr 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. Mr. GROGAN said if Mr. Massey would move the emiesiOnicif the clause, he should have his support. (Hear.) Mr. G. ff. VERNON preferred the appointment of the election officer by the returning officer immediately after hie owvi::•• • ThUreturning officer would then be responsible for his own nominee. Mr. HILDYARD expressed some alarui lest - the validity of elections shdrild be endangered by the irregularity of the election auditor's appointment. He had never seen a bill in hie-life•whielt laid more trapfalls for candidates than did this bill, and the committee ought therefore to be doubly cautious in deciding upon its ”hraseology. Mr. J. FITZGERALD reminded the hon. and learned member thait 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 de c ide • w h en a man became a candidate. Very often it was very long before b the election took place, dud allthis time exPenses • uo t n b stant i l o y incurred. Under these circumstanceswaethoenin some landmarks, from which the g election ey o s ffic u er should have have power to start in authorising the payment of exp enses . -- Mr. NE WDEGATE concurred very much with - what had fallen from the last speaker, and unless they decided what should be, and what should not. bo, election e x p enses, ' there would be no end t o disputes anti litigation under .this bill. Let the committee, then, put some words in this clause which should clearly and explicitly define what eleation expenses were. Thu: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 oughb to rest with the returning officer, and 'not with his nominee. (Hear, hear.) Sir, , I—PAKINGTON said the discussion had. not re moved his objections, and he must therefore persevere in pressinc , upon the' attention of the committee the views • which he had propounded in the early part of. this'debate. The bill gave them no security for the characterAnd'pro per .conduct of this election officer, while he was.. yen' 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 191 k at the clause with great suspicion, and he lutist again object to entrust ing...ita,psavers to,„ any alerjskwakulaiLat'd the degree of barriker-at-law, or Who had Efore - 440 iATIOi7ue other equally responsible position. (Hear, heal:) Lord R. GROSVENOR was verry sorry to add his voice to the objections which had been raised against this clause, but it appeared to him that if they passed it in its present shape, it would be difficult for any one to decide wh 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 su bj ec t was a diffi cult 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 81 • 1 1 ,- 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 bo 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. He 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. (Hoar, hear.) Last year they had more than a usual 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 whom he would venture to say had no intention when they became candidates of securing their seats by corrupt means. But the position o f th w: 3 such enri er thp oxiAing svrtem, that s eandidAte honestly .ieliriag to cnn6ne hint;eit to the c\ tied, 05 - month' xl . t'n . I"' election, tbs.t, unknown to him, Irge. sow, of money had been ea pend s ct on behalf in biibery, sad might lose his seat in consequence. This way no unusual occurrence, and he thought it would be a great semi ity, therefore, if, by any plan like that provided in these clauses, they could ho sure that all the legal expenses incurred at the election should be 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 he believed that if candidates and those who were concerned 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 of such publicity would be that the expenses of e r lcti e e ne o r n e : much\votl would e b e se objectionablegreatl been urged that under this clause many questions of o frequently were. (Hear.) But it ,hand d and diminished r u r u a p m t o t u h l l a t u , t a h n e d y now d too l arise, and-that, for iustance, it would t h d e idffiiff i cu n l u t Tt would sapuld doubt there were ques ns of sibility commenced. No m uch debate, and if they where an election began, or where the candidate'sirieespon this kind that might require would not be likely now in the bill, he admitted they he ende o d f , th to e were called upon to settle every one of them in the pre sentee beginningapprehended, p r e the bill in the present ses • month month f f duly, session y r , ti o a r ry e , ve to n i p f s t s —that practical men would tolerably well when they come solve those questions before before sy b w e er a e bl a e t , if it were contended an election them ; and because he might com mittee that a gentleman, liberality in have exhibited great hospitality and great hadbefore, done so as a candidate, and with a v i ew to influence the electors, he thought the committee would very soon dispose of su c h au allegation. (Hear hear.) He 'hoped for th e reasons he had stated that his hon. friend, the chairman of the committee, would not be a party to the withdrawal of the clause. (Cheers.) Sir J. SHELLEY remarked that as his objection was to the appointment of the election officer by the candidate, and as he underst3od 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 w ith th ose who thought differently when they proposed a measure they c ons idered would which cure the evil. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE 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. an observation from Sir F. KELLY, suggesting that the election officer should be appointed annually in the month of August, some discussion followed on verbal amendments, which were proposed. At length the clause, as amended, was put by the chairman. On the question 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 ensure that the appointment was placed in such , hands as to make it certain that a fit and proper. p t e mnt r e n would he appointed, and secondly, before the aPPc" I of a person who was to have the sole control of all election e<_-/ Gin 133 • 74 -59 Mr. FITZGERALD said the object of his suggestioa war 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. inclu,le it in the clause. ..., . ~,. „,„.„........... _. Ni 1 . S.

Mi. PlOOl l l also thought there was a difficulty in de ciding what were election payments. For instance, can didates were often called upon to contribute 'towards the repair of a church or a race fund, and he wa nted to know if those subscriptions were to be taken as pay ment incident to the election. Mr. WALPOLE had no hesitation i n, sa y in g decidedl y not. Mr. HILDYARD contended that all this legislation were established in a be rried on under was useless, because bribery wd th b6 e h ca o the guise of the subscriptions which n. member . had candidate subscribed 1,000/4 to it, while the other declined to contri bute anything to it, could the r s o ug ig g h es , t a ed n . d o S n u e ppsea coal fund committee have any doubt in deciding which candidate would be returned? (Hear, hear.) Th.. V. SCULLY wanted to say a few words on this clause. (Cries of "Divide, divide," and "Brotherton, Brotherton.") Well, if the committee thought th e ti me I cotite would stand that hopedthe 2 thest clause mn should te an had arrived for re porting progress, he would m ove th a t th e chairman should do so accordi ng ly. (H ear, h ear. ) On Lo the rdJ J. questionRUSSELL to dispose of this cl ause b e f ore th ey reported pro gret consent progress. of the bill, Lord ' 'R.

In answer to Mr. MASSEY, , ; Mr. WALPOLE said the committee thought that those penalties which involved .disfranehisernent, or the lose of seat, should be recovered only in a superior court, but that all the others should be sued for in the county courts. Mr. MASSEY gave notice that he should move a provise barring the jurisdiction of county courts in all cases. • Mr. WALPOLE asked whether under 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 the bill were a fair •one there could lie no legal objection to its being paid, lie felt very much die: posed to support Mr. Massey's proviso. , The &also was then agreed to. On clauiso2l, which enacts that no payments are to by made except through the, election officer, personal and ad vertising expenses excepted, the words "any money what ever" were inserted after "claim" inthe first line. Mr. E. DENISON thought there,ahould be some limi tation with regard to time in connexion with current ex penses. . Mr. WALPOLE proposed to strike out the words g• or in connexion with" in line two, whichwas agreed to. Mr. J. ELFITZGERALD said th .ee 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. Lora 'SEYMOUR thought that the,:clause should more clearly define the tribunal before which the prod was to be made, whether before a court of lew or a committee of the house. (Hear.) Mr. HILDYAIID doubted if alp xiection committee would have jurisdiction if words were net introduced more clearly defining the tribunal before whtql the proof was to be taken. It seemed to him that it iiould be necessary to exclude registrationexpenses under this pi 11, 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 trough the opera tion of the clause. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the p ty in the, clause too severe, and was willing to adopt the Amendnienti pro posed by the Ton and learned member for Ennis. Mr. WALPOLE concurred in the seryView..• Mr. COBDEN s a id th a t b y c l ause 33 the-member was re quired to make a declaration on taking his seat to the fol lowing effect :—" I, A. 8., do solemnly alicl sincerely de clare, without any equivocation or mental reservation. thus I have not knowingly made, authorised t or sauctionesl, and that I will not knowingly make, authapitie, or sanction any payment on account of my election, other than is al lowed by law under the Corrupt Practices Ptevention Act of 1851." Now, if the member who had' tiken his seat after that declaration, and who had violated the law was subjected to a penalty of only 101., it might appear that they were dealing in a different spirit towards the member, and towards the electors, whom by prev,ious clauses they struck off the lists. (Hear.) In assenting to the amend.- merit they should take care that they were not acting in consistently and more =leniently towards theinselves than towards the electors. . Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE said the object of the amend ment was not to avert the consequences of corrupt practies on the part of the members, but to gnard.against the con• ssxuence that.would arise if some trifling,payment had not passed through The hands Sr the eledion • Mr. NEWDEGA.TE wished to know if it was intended to assign a limit of time within which this provision wss to operate. Mr. H. IVILLOUGHBY said that customs varied. in different boroughs, and money was often paid, not as bti- Wry, but because it was customary, as was the case with respect to chairing expo 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 inthem 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 apprehensiou. 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 ttnderstand why all the payments of an election should be made through the public officer. (Hoar, 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 Its it stood. 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 re duced iu 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 pro posing the amendment on the bill. Mr. HADFIELD intimated that he would divide, but the opinion of the house being obviously against him , the house had been cleared for a division he connoted to the amendment being negatived. The new schedule of duties was then put and agreed to. POOR-LAW COMMISSION CONTINUANCE (IRELAND) BILL.
