PETER AUBER, Secretary. KILKENNY ASSIZES, JULY 25. EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE KIL- We were yesterday, in our Second Edition, enabled to publish the REPORT of the Special Committee on the LIVERPOOL ELECTION case, presented that evening at five o'clock. The re formed House of Commons is faithfully discharg ing its duty by their uncompromising denuncia tions of political corruption, and their determina tion to extirpate the rotten parts of the elective franchise. The Liverpool report, like the Warwick, enters the marrow of the freemen, and stigmatizes the Corporation as a close municipal body deserves in these times:— The Select Committee appointed " to pursue the inqui ries commenced by the Committee appointed 6th March last, into the matters complained of in the petition of the electors and inhabitants of Liverpool," pies ented 20th Fe bruary list, containing allegations of long prevalent gross bribery—treating and other corruption at elections for Chief Magistrates and Members to serve in Parliament for the said borough, and praying the disfranchisement of the burgesses of the said borough, and to whom petitions presented respecting the said borough were on the Bth July last referred, Have, pursuant to the order of the House, heard evidence and witnesses examined, as well by counsel on behalf of the said petitioners, the electors, and other inhabitants of Liverpool, as by counsel for the mayor, aldermen, bailiffs, and common council of the town of Liverpool, on behalf of the burgesses of the said town (whose petition, presented on the 12th of March last to your Honourable House, was referred to your Committee) and have also considered the matters to them referred, and do agree upon the following report That bribery and corruption have existed in the elec tions of Members of Parliament, and chief magistrates for the borough of Liverpool, and in some cases to an enor mous amount. _ _ . tinue several days ; and, according to the custom of th.• borough, when St. Luke's Day falls on a Sunday, the election for Mayor commences on the morning of that day, and have been known to continue until 12 at night. truly that none spoke move in favour of liberty than he did.—(Oh, oh.)

John M'Donnell, Mich. Bradley, Dennis Brennan, and Mich. Cantwell were placed on their trial charged with assaulting the house of James Neill on the 21st of November, and firing shots, &c. Mr. SCOTT, K.O , for the Crown, said it would appear that a party of Whitefeet received countenance and encouragement from persons in a rank of life superior to their own, and who had neither courage enough, or wanted courage openly, to lend themselves to the guilty doings of persons engaged in ouch confederacies. This gang went to a person of respectable rank in life, and stipulated with him for the use of fire-arms ; that person agreed to lend them, but said that if his wife knew of it he could not stand the house. Mr. Scott then detailed the circum- Your Committee, therefore, having duly weighed and considered the evidence laid before them in support of the petition, as well that on the part of the defence, feel them selves in duty called upon to recommend your Honourable House to introduce a Bill to restrict the franchises, and to alter the whole system of elections in that borough, as well for Members to sit in Parliament as for the municipal officers ; and that you will adopt such measures as under the circumstances may appear to your Honourable House best suited to obtain the desired purity of elections. Your Committee cannot conclude this report without directing the att ntion of your Honourable House to the conduct of freemen, in a better class of life and in good circumstances, who have shown fully as much readiness to take bribes as the poorest and most destitute of their fellow burgesses. until the present privileges of the Thuile were made to appetr so ludicrous, that no man would afterwards talk of the ditnity of the Ilous , ?.—(Hear, hear.)

Martin Cavanagh, a sturdy-looking villain, came for ward as an approver. On the 21st of November, he and his party, consisting of a large number, went to the house of Mr. Purcell, who keeps a bakery and brewery. Four went in and asked Purcell for the loan of his arms, as they were going to beat Neill to make him give up his land, and if Neill refused they were determined to shoot him. They got from Purcell a blunderbuss and a pistol. Purcell said that on a former occasion he had lent his arms to a man, who returned them in the presence of his wife, and they were in consequence at variance for a week, but he should now lend them lest they should meet the police and not have arms enough to attack them. Purcell sti pulated, however, that the arms should be returned du ring the night, and he should leave his man, Philip Byrne, to receive them. The witness then stated that the party left Purcell's, loaded their arms, and called at various places on their way to Neill's, near which they met a man named Andrew Brenan, whom they beat and swore to keep secret, as the police were in the neighbourhood. It was between eleven and twelve when they reached Neill's. They called out, but got no answer, when James and Michael Bradley broke in the door with a large stone. Witness burst in the door of Neill's bed-room. They found him sitting in bed. Wit ness had a candle lighted, and took from the bead of the bed a pistol and gun. They took Neill out of bed awl beat him " very hard ;" they dragged him about by the hair of the head. Witness g ive him a punch of the butt end of a gun, and James Bradley gave him a blow of a pistol. James Bradley, " the captain," swore Neill to leave the house and place after a certain number of days. They searched for Neill's title-deeds in his trunk, to burn them. When they returned to Purcell's they met Philip Byrne at the brewery gates, and gave him the blunder buss, but could not say whether they gave him the pistol. The party then dispersed. On his cross-examination the witness displayed the most heartless depravity. He acknowledged that he had been present at a murder; that he had been tried and transported. He thought be could sleep well if his hands were imbrued in innocent blood. Had rather kill twenty men than take a false oath ; if a man took a false oath he never could repent, but if he committed murder he might repent. He would not act as a hangman for 1001. He would not put a rope round a man's neck, hut he would shed the blood or blow the brains out of an innocent man. Had rather do that than put a rope round the neck of a man convicted of murder. Mr. HATCHELL, who cross-examined this witness, here exclaimed with indignation, " Go down, felon." An attempt was made to prove an alibi, and some re spectable persons gave the prisoners a good character up to the time of the occurrence. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoners were sentenced to transportation for life. 8 10 3 7 6 8 e 7 CHICHESTER, MONDAY MORNING. The ensuing races bid fair to eclipse Ascot, Epsom, and other popular meetings of the present and of all pre vious years in all the essentials of sport, company, and general eclat. The list is decidedly the most attractive that has ever been seen even at this fashionable spot, at once bespeaking the importance of Goodwood as a racing club and the great popularity of the Noble Duke its founder. Commencing earlier than usual it gives an opportunity of running a horse in the Drawing Room Stakes and of tending him to Doncaster for the St. Leger. This is a good alteration, for by the old time a horse could not be sent northward subsequent to these races without compromising his chance by want of due preparation. The principal races to be decided are the Drawing Room Stakes to-morrow, the Goodwood Stakes on Wednesday, the Gold Cup on Thursday, and the Racing Stakes on Friday; these stakes are worth very little short of as many thousand pounds. The favourites for the Goodwood Stakes are Windcliife, Little Red Rover, and Tourist; the former was purchased at the sale of the late Lord Scarborough's stud, did not run last year, is well bred, and comes from Man chester with plenty of money and a racing weight on his back ; his owner is very sanguine. Little Red Rover, a pony in size, ran second to Priam for the Derby, trained off, and was amiss the following year; ran in an improved form last season with middling horses, and comes to the post heavily backed, receiving a pound from the Manchester horse. Tourist has nothing to recommend him beyond the favourable weight put on him. A large field is expected, and great interest excited by the unusual extent of spculation. The most important of the events will be the Drawing-Room Stakes, inasmuch as the three favourites are engaged in the Doncaster St. Leger. Revenge ran third for the Derby, his condition at that time being very defective ; he has benefitted subsequently by experienced training, and will start under better auspices. Young Rapid's public running has been invariably success ful this year; last season he also ran well, but was de feated at Ascot by Revenge ; the horses beaten by him this year are of inferior grade. Trepidation ran three times last year a winner, and has never been beaten : he had the good fortune to beat Dangerous at Warwick, the latter not ex actly in his Derby form. The Stakes are worth eleven or twelve hundred pounds, and have been the source of exten sive betting. The Cup is of great value and interest. Sir M. Wood's famous mare Camarine, the " conqueror of conquerors," and supposed by many to be scarcely inferior to Priam, is an immense favourite; she looks well, and goes beautifully. Beiram is in admirable condition, and knows the ground, having won the Drawing-room and run close second to Priam for the Cup last year. Ga lopade labours under the disadvantage of extra weight. A good field is looked for, the conditions being of a nature to give every horse a chance. The field and the betting for the Racing Stakes will mainly depend on the Drawing- Room.

If papers went on publishing the busi ness of Parliament, and that incorrectly or falsely, the. only remedy was to prevent the reporting of any. An lion. Member had spoken of the infringement of the BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. O'CONNELL moved that the order of the day for calling the printer and one of the proprietors of the Times liberty enjoyed under sufferance by the presa ; he should like to I , e told, if it was necessary he should submit to the infringement of his liberty. The King could not control the liberty he enjoyed ; nor could the (louse of Lords nor the Judges control it; and he would ask the House if it would set up this system of reporting, and esta- to the bar be read. Mr. AIETHUEN said he rose to move that the order blish it as a higher tribunal than that of the King, Lords, or Commons, or the laws of the land ? The power possessed by the press at present was such as it ought not to possess. It had been accumulated by a monopoly of the press, arising out of excessive taxation, and to so great an extent, that it required a fortune to establish any thing in competition. This monopoly was now become a most domineering aristocracy, and it was said that nothing could put it down; but he had put his hand to the business, and he would try. The re porters boasted that they had succeeded in putting down some of the greatest men the country had produced, that they had overcome a Member of the present Administration—nay, that they bad overcome the Lord Chancellor himself, and they added to the list the names of Tierney and Wyndham, the last of whom had conciliated them by a dinner. . But they should not pat him down, and that they would find. It was saint that the time of the House had been taken up with Ireland ; but what blessings had the House conferred upon her? She had rather cause to regret than appre ciate those attentions. He would have the House not to be misled on this question ; but calmly to consider that if its proceedings were not fairly reported in any paper, that paper was not worthy the sufferance of reporting at all. He wanted to know who were the managers of the Timor, the reporters or the proprietors? al 2 . 1 '"'" 31 30 27 ." 23 18 45 25 „ he cou' /24. .40 lay, a" na la4l3ssijeseiCee4 Bd. t°, 8 0 0 0 7 6 6 6 43. 6 0 10, nis# l S Colonel EVANS said, although generally acquiescing with the Hon.

A more miserable apology for a rowing wager was never wit nessed, it being in three heats, and only four meo contend ing. At the conclusion of what was misnamed the grcnd heat, J. Jeffs, light blue, was the winner. We learn from an euthority on which we can rely, coming from a quarter not a hundred miles from " Haddington," that some of the Scotch Peers are &tee mined on trying to throw out the Burgh Reform Bill. We hear that their Lordships calculated on the support of a nobleman of very opposite principles, but we believe they reckon without their host, his Lordship having been very anxious to give to the whole of the Scotch burgh., the same liberal Constitution which he was mainly i n . strumental in procuring some years ago for the town with which he was locally connected ; but in the mean.. time his Lordship is quite ready to give his cordial support to the Lord Advocate's Bill, which cuts at the root of the system of self-election in Scotland. This note of preparation on the part of the Scotch Peers, we under stand, has created some sensation among their countrymen in the Lower House, and a meeting of the latter is, we learn, fixed for to-morrow, to adopt such measures as they may deem necessary, should their Lordships perse- Yere in throwing out the Bill. Where is this to end ?- -Morning Chronicle. CHARLES X.—The Temps relates the f o , lowing anecdote The influence which Cardinal Lati has obtained over the mind of Charles X. is notorious, but the origin and causes of this influence, which has been so fatal to the Ex-King, are not so well known. The fol lowing has been communicated to us by persons whose positions have enabled them to become well informed on this subject. Charles X., when Count d'Artois, had a great many mistresses, but the one to whom he was most tenderly attached was Mdme. de Polastron. This lady, in her connection with the ContE d'Artois, felt all that excess of sentiment so natural to a woman of southern climes, and the Prince met these sentiments with equal intensity of feeling. Some time before the death of Madame de Polastron, the Chaplain in ordinary of the Count d'Artois died, and a substitute was sought for. M. de Latil, then only an Abbe, was preparing to embark for America, when the vacant ap pointment was offered to him. It was then but a poor provision, but the young Abbe preferred it to taking the chances of a voyage to America. Mdme. de Polastron, who was then in a dying state, wished to prepare for her approaching end, but she had lost her ordinary confessor, and had but a limited confidence in the young chaplain. She, however, desired to see him, and, after frequent interviews, made her confessions. Upon this she entreated the Count d'Artois to promise to comply with a last request she would make to him. The Prince entered into the engagement. Mdme. de Polastron then made him solemnly swear he would never give his affections to another woman. This oath was taken in the presence of the priest, and in order to render the obligation more impressive, she desired that the same band should at the same time administer the Holy Sacrament to them both. M. de Latil then received the ccnfession of the Prince, and admitted the two lovers to the altar, where they mutually swore eternal fidelity. This ceremony left a deep impression on the weak mind of the Count d'Artois. Mdme. de Polastron, having thus enchained the future life of her lover, died contented. Charles X., who was then only 45 years of age, remained ever faithful to his sacred engagement. From this time M. de Latil became the confidant of every thought of the Prince, and his ascendancy increased with the age of his penitent, till it attained an extent impossible to describe, and to which may be attributed all the faults of the reign of Charles X. In 1814 be was frequently urged to marry again. The friends to the dynasty, seeing with pain that the Duke d'Angouleme had no child, and not knowing whether the Duke de Berri would be as fortunate in his marriage as he had been in his previous amorous adven tures, were induced by the perspective of a failure of the elder branch of the family, to reiterate appeals to him to contract a new alliance, but he as constantly refused. One of those who were most attached to the Count d'Artois carried his importunity farther than any others, and wrote a long letter to the Prince, stating that the affection he had ever shown towards his two sons made it an imperative duty for him to take a new consort, in order that his children by her might be able to protect their elder bro thers, as every thing was to be feared for them, in any moment of political excitement, occasioned by the parties known to be so exasperated against the family of the Bourbons. This letter had no better EUCCtSS than the ver bal importunities to which Charles had been subjtcttd. M. de Latil was by bis side; he ruled the mind of the Prince, and would not suffer him to break his oath. The tat assassinationhee Countworuinth r o d:A of r t t o h i se Dukethe le t de ter Berri which recalled Nvati addressed the mindto b hint I in 1814. Ab ou t one i n t h e morn i ng o f th e 14th February , the found him bltleatlheed in letter entered a t n h d e i C n ab a in st e a t te of of g the re P a r t in ag ce i. , . laden. The reception was a silent one, and a mutual pressure of the hand was the only communication of their respective feelings. At length the Count d'Artois, turning towards his desk, broke the silence by saying, My dear V--, take up that paper, and see what I was leading when you Came in,' It was the letter written in 1614. That your Committee have confined their inquiries to the corrupt practices existing in the elections of Chief Magistrates and Members of Parliament, since the year 1823 inclusive. And your Committee have not instituted any further inquiry into bribery and corruption alleged to have been practised at the election of 1832, such inquiry having been the immediate object of the former Committee, and having been already reported upon by such Committee to your Hun. House. That between the years 1823 and 1826, both inclusive, and in the year 1828, the elections do not seem to have been keenly contested, and that there is no evidence of particular bribery or treating having been resorted to. That at the contested election for Mayor in 1827, the price of votes began at the sum of 6s. each and rose to 201 ; and at the contested election for a Member for the representation of the borough in 1830, the price began at 2/. and rose to 601., and in one instance to 801. That at this contest in 1827, for Major, the election cost each candidate or his friends seven or eight thousand pounds ; and that at this contest in 1830, for a represen tation, the election cost each candidate or his friends up wards of 40,0001. That from documents and evidence on the minutes of this Committee, it appears that 2,661 individual freemen of the borough at this election were systematically bribed, and that no evidence has been tendered before this Com mittee to refute this imputed bribery. That of the 2,661 freemen thus bribed in 1830-1,880 of the same pereons still remain on the register entitled to vote; and that your Committee deem it proper to report to your House that the burgesses or old freemen are the only persons entitled to vote at the annual elections of chief magistrate and bailiffs for the borough. That it has been proved that at two different periods before 1823 two offices in the Customs were bargained for and sold, and that the proceeds of these sales, as they arose, were separately handed over to the Committee for the time being of one of the candidates for the representa tion of Liverpool, under the name of " A subscription to wards defraying the expenses of the contested election" on the part of the said candidate. That at present many houses in Liverpool, assessed at the bona fide value of 10/., and under 12/., are corm• pounded for, the rates for such houses being now paid by the landlord. Yet there still remain on the register en titled to vote 7,656 householders, which number is con stantly increasing. That the corporation of Liverpool, conducting the de fence on behalf of the freemen in this inquiry, are governed by a council of forty-one members, who are self-elected, and disburse a revenue of 98,000/. per annum, the accounts of which are annually published and circulated ; and the members of this council are alone eligible to the office of chief magistrate and bailiffs. That the bribery and corruption, both at elections of chief magistrates and members of Parliament were presented by the grand jury in the open court, in 1827, as a nuisance. That it appears from the Journals of the House that on the 4th of February, 1828, a petition from the mayor, bailiffs, and burgesses, of Liverpool, was presented to the House, and a Bill was accordingly brought in and read a first time on the 12th of February of that year, " for pro viding a more convenient place, and making certain regu lations fer the elections of Members to serve in Parliament for the borough of Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, and also of a mayor and bailiffs for the said borough fur fixing a certain period within which persons admitted to the freedom of the borough shall be entitled to vote, and for preventing frauds in the personation of voters," and the same was read the first time and ordered to be read a second time. And that no further proceedings have since taken place. That your Committee find that in 1831, March 28, a Committee of the House appointed to try the merits of the petition, reported that gross bribery and treating prevailed during the late election for a burgess to serve in Parliament for the borough of Liverpool. That in 1831, March 29, the House suspended the writ nem. con. That in 1831, April 16, the House further suspended the writ. That in 1831, April 22, Parliament was dissolved. That in 1831, May 3, in a new election for Liverpool, Mr. Ewart and Mr. Denison were returned. That in 1831, Jurw 24, Mr. Benett gave notice that he would, on the 29th of June, move resolutions on the state of the representation of the borough of Liverpool. That in 1831, July 6, Mr. Denison, having been elected to serve for Nottinghamshire, moved a new writ for the borough of Liverpool, when the Marquis of Chandos moved the adjournment of the debate until the next day, which was agreed to nem. con. That in 1831, July 8, Mr. Denison again moved for a new writ for Liverpool, and the Marquis of Chandos moved the adjournment of the debate until the House had disposed of Mr. Benett's motion, and that the House divided—For the issuing of the writ 99—Against, 117. That in 1831, September 5, Mr. Vernon moved for a new writ for Liverpool, when Mr. Benett proposed as amendment, that the House do agree in - the report made on the 26th March last, " That gross bribery and treat ing prevailed during the late election at Liverpool, (viz.) 1830." The House divided—For issuing the writ, 35 —Against, 76—when it was resolved, That such bribery and treating require the most serious consideration of the House. Ordered. —That leave be given to bring in a Bill to prevent such bribery and treating. That in 1831, September•l9, a Bill for disfranchising the freemen was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time. That in 1831, October 12, the Bill was read a second time. That Mr. G. Vernon moved a new writ for Liverpool, —For issuing the writ 93, against it 67. That in 1831, November, there was a new election. That in 1832, January 27, leave was given to bring in a Bill to prevent bribery and treating at Liverpool. That in 1832, January 31, the Bill was presented and read a first time. That in 1832, May 23, the Bill was read a second time—Ayes 44, Noea 10. That in 1832, May 24, witnesses were ordered to at tend the Committee [1 832, June 273—Resolved that the House will resolve itself into the Committee, 1832, July 4 th---Resolution read.—Ordered, that it be an instruction to the Committee that they have power to e xamine wit nesses in support of the Bill. That during the period comprised between March 28, 1831, and th e mon th o f J u ly, 1832, two elections for Members for the Borough took place. LThat in the elections subsequent to 1830, the suspension of the writ, and the proposed Bill for the Disfrauchioe of the House be discharged. He could not be suspected of being actuated by any personal feeling towards the Hon. and Learned Member, and had no doubt the Hon. Member had been guided by a sense of duty. Buthe (Mr. Methuen) had a duty to perform also, as a Member of that House, to take care that it did not get into a situation of great difficulty, whilst absolutely called upon to do so, and he did not think the House so called upon on this occasion. He objected to the printer of the Times being called to the bar of that Hone, when it was entirely a personal quarrel between the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman and the reporters, which quarrel arose out of a private dispute, on account of something which the Hon. and Learned Member said at a public meeting. The complaint of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was strange and contradictory. The privilege of the House was, that there should be no reports, and the complaint was that the privilege was not violated. The complaint of the Hon. and Learned Member was, that he was not reported enough. There could be no doubt of the power of the House; but though it was excellent to have a giant's strength, it was tyrannous to use it like a giant." The Hon. and Learned Gentleman complained of partial reports, but if he (Mr. Methuen) was not misinformed, the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had pro fitted more than any one else by partial reporting and there was one paper, the Tralee Mercury, which never repotted any speeches but those of the Learned Gentleman. Three Dublin papers also always reported the speeches of the Learned Gentleman, but never gave those of the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies in reply. I roust say one word, said the Hon. Member, respecting the reporters. Human nature is frail, and I would put it to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman himself to say whether the statement of " deliberate falsehood" is not one which must rouse not only the feelings of a gentleman, but of every man. Sir, I have made inquiries into the character of the gentlemen who are usually acting as reporters, and I have reason to believe that many of them are men of education—many brought up to the Bar ; and that there have been many proud instances of persons having risen to the highest eminence. from that situa tion. There is another reason why I do think it impolitic in the Hon. Gentleman having again brought forward his motion. Every Member must feel the pres sure of public business at this time; and I think after all the time that has been given to Irish business—(Hear, hear)—the Hon. Gentleman least of all is entitled to take up our time with his private affairs.—(Cheers.) I really am surprised that he should have brought forward this at this moment.—(Hear, hear.) It does ap pear to me to be like an act of tyranny, and there is no gentleman within these walls upon whose lips I have heard more of liberty than upon the Hon. Member's.—(Hear, hear.) Now, if the Hon. Member will give one practical proof of his liberty, by consenting that this motion be discharged without going to a division, he will do more to gratify the feelings of the country than any thing lie can say or do by oration. I shall not take up more time; but I could not stand here as a Member of this House, and allow the House to be brought into a situ ation, which, I am certain, will be one of great difficulty. Mr. ROBINSON had great pleasure in seconding the proposition that the order of the day be read and discharged. He was satisfied this question arose from circumstances not at all connected with conduct in that House ; therefore, without pretending in the slightest degree to say the persons who had fallen under the dis pleasure of the Hon. Member for Dublin were right or not, he was prepared to state, that the House would take a most unwise course if it adopted the line of conduct now proposed by the lion. and Learned Gentleman below him. He understood it was the intention of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to follow up the proceedings by moving that the proprietors of one of the newspapers should be called to the bar for having reported its proceed ings. It was unnecessary for him to state that by a standing order of that House it was a breach of privilege tG report the proceedings of that House ; but be would ask the House, if it agreed to this motion, how it could, in consistency and with regard to its own dignity of character, not follow it up by summon ing to its bar all the proprietors of the news papets in England who were equally guilty of the same offence. He believed that on one occasion before, the House was prevailed on to follow the course which the Hon. Member had recommended. In 1771, the last time be believed a question of this sort was brought before the House, the printers and publishers of two newspapers were on the motion of Colonel Onslow brought to the bar; and the consequence was that the House of Commons got involved in a discussion which lasted from the Bth of Feb. to the 30th April before they could disentangle themselves from the difficulties of their position.—( Hear, and laughter.) Hon. Members might laugh, but if they con sulted the debate of that time, they would find that the dis cussion had led to angry debate, and popular excitement and commotion, to the ultimate imprisonment of two of the Members of that House in the Tower, and "certainly without advancing the House in its own dignity or character. The lion. Member complained, not that he had been reported, and this was one of the anomalies of the present case, but that be had not been reported. If that was the fact, how many others had, with much better grace to make the same complaint, and he must be excused for stating, that, although the Hon. and Learned Gentleman might perhaps think that his talents and position in that House should cbmmand their notice, yet it was of equal importance for the most humble Member of that House, that his expressions, in reference to his own justification and constituents, that his sentiments should be given as well as those of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman.—(Cheers.) Any other Member had an equal right with the Hon. and Learned Member to complain of occasional omissions or mistakes, or accidental misrepresentations. He, however, cordially concurred with these Hon. Members who had stated that not only were the reports of that House made with won• der ful fidelity, but their general accuracy and fidelity were quite surprising.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Member should be the last to make this complaint ; and he implored the House not to accede to the presentmotion. He heeged leave to support the amendment. r ' c C layl O ra. N t N Atil E ieat L th L u pe re)tai with e o l f t t l e e, e amendmentconsiderable a o bG f i ee the nstul er mp H ra on. A p l a e A r n t i i i r e b . u e l ( r a ) speech, wherein he alluded to his (Mr. O'Connell's) motion being directed against the tradesman printer. When,zhe commenced the controversy he had complained that the re ports of the present Session were to his own knowledge ex• cedingly defective, and to his knowledge also designedly false, and then the kindness of the Hon. Member (Mr. Methuen; induced him to applaud him.—(No, no, from - Mr. Me thuen.) He understood that Hun. Member bad said at much its that he was misreported. Mr. METHUEN declared he had said no such thing. _(Hear, hear.) his own importance in the public eye. In placing himself in opposition to the reporters he forgot his own past life. It was not in the power of any set of literary gen tlemen to put down the Learned Gentleman. The Times had endeavoured to prevent his return, but he hid suc ceeded nevertheless, as had every one the Times had op posed since the general election. Mr. Hill, whose election to the office of Common Sergeant in the City of London it had advocated, had failed. Some of the privileges of the House were obsolete. The exclusion of strangers was a power preserved by every Member ; but this was a fitting time to consider whether that power should not be tau,. ..may enni t ietition. favoured by a reduction of the taxes on knowledge, would produce impartial reports. It was highly important that the sub stance of their proceedings should be reported to the public, and he entreated the lion. and Learned Gentleman to withdraw his motion. He had no doubt the present affair would blow over, it being the interest of the news papers to give the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's speeches. Looking to the anomalous position in which they were placed, he should suggest that if it were ton late this ses sion; a Committee should be appointed next session to examine into the matter. Sir R. INGLIS had no hesitation in saying he thought the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin had, by his proceedings upon the present occasion, placed himself as well as the House in a very awkward as well as unpleasant predicament.—(Hear.) Did the House, nay, did the Hon. and Learned Gentleman himself, know the real position in which the motion placed them ? He (Me. O'Connell) stated that it was it breach of the privileges of the House to report its proceedings. It was quite true they sat in that House under the fiction that no one sew them, that no one heard them, and they enjoyed the p'easing delusion throughout the night, until the following morning, when the Morning Journals proved to a demonstration that if they had not been seen they had been beard.—(Laughter.) Yet the same self-deceit was indulged in again the next day. But what was the real ground of complaint in the present instance ? It was, not that certain privileges had been violated, but that they had not been violated. The Learned Gentleman did not complain that a certain class of individuals had committed a breach of the rules of the House, but that as fir as respected himself those rules were nut violated.—(Hear.) The reporters who were the object of the Hon. Member's attack had not in ' timated an intention of publishing what the House had declared should not be published, but, on the contrary, they had declared that so far as he was concerned they would never hereafter commit that breach of privilege.— (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Was not, he asked, such tne very sum and substance of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman's complaint? It had been truly stated that on many occasions not one half of what fell from Mem bers found its way into the reports; but did any of the Members who suffered from such suppression think of adopting such a course as that adopted by the Hon, arid Learned Member for Dublin? He (Sir R. Inglis), for one, had on several occasions been a sufferer by the omis sion of his speeches, but did he make any complaint of that omission? Certainly not. He I.tl always consi dered it a matter of right with the proprietors of news papers to insert only such information as in their opinion the public might most appreciate, and he invariab y attributed to an exercise of that right the insertion or non-insertion of his speeches.—(Hear, hear.) The physic ,1 impossibility of inserting everything that took piece in that House in the compass of space allotted to de bates, which, considering the mass of news of all descrip tions of daily occurrence, and the necessity of catering sor various tastes and different inclinations on the Nit of the traders of newspapers, must be extremely limited, was, he contended, quite sufficient to account for that suppression of which be understood many Hon. Members comp Lined. Those who had to minister to the tastes of all classes were the persons alone qualified to deiide and select what matters should and what should not meet with insertion; and all attempts to interfere with their decision wouli, in his opinion, be most unjust, if not altogether iinpracticab!e. —(Hear, hear.) It was altogether a matter with which no person but the proprietors of the newspapers them selves had to deal.—(Hear.) But to resume. lie repeated he thought the Hou. and Learned Member' for Dublin had placed both himself and the House in a very unpleasant predicament. He would suppose the individuals whom it was proposed to bring to toe bar already there, and he would then ask the House in what manner were they to be treated ?—(Hear.) He put it to the House whether it was possible fur any one, be he ever so conversaut with Parliamentary law or Parliamentary phraseology, arid no one cutial possibly be more vetoed in both than the indi vidual who tiled the chairof that House, to d e vise any , ny form of speech by which the real nature of tit l e t , which the Hun. and Learned Gentleman comp a nod cud , 1 tie intelligibly stated.—(Hear, 'l'he proprietors ad committed nu breach of privilege whatever.—(Resit, zeal.)
