The petitioners prayed for cheap law, cheap corn, cheap eve's, cheap Government, free trade, and a Reform in Parrainent.—( Hear, and laughter.) With the latter pirt of the petition he must say, that if the re presentation of the people in England was bad, that. io Scotland WAS much worse ; it was a mere farce. It must exceed everal the imagination of the Noble Duke opposite (Wellington), who could not "conceive tit.y thing so perfect." (LEFT SPRAEING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. ILCEIESTER ELECTION. Mr. GREEN brought up the Report of the Commit tee on the Ilehester Eleceon, which declared that the sit ting Members had been duly elected ; but that the peti tion against their return, and the opposition to it, were neither frivolous nor vexatious.

REPEAL OF THE UNION. • Lord KING, in preaenting several :petitionm from different parts of Ireland praying for a IN peal of the Union, felt him. self -called upon to say a few words, in consequence of his differing with the sentimi;nts of the .netitioners. The petitioners stated that the Union was brought about by corruption. lie (Lord King) had no doubt it was, and fir that reason he had votA against it, wishing not to bring the corruption of Ireland to increase the corruption of England, but at the present, moment lie thought it was impossible to repeal the Union without doing much more harm than good. If he was now to consult hie own feel ings, supposing himself' to be an Irishman, he should, there was no doubt, be in favour of a repeal of the Union,; but if he consulted his reason, he cer tainly! should pursue a very different course. It was true there was great mass of misery in Ireland, but he (Lord King) did not see how that misery could he cured by the repeal of the Union. In his opinion the best thing for Ire land would be an increase of Englsh capital into it. —(hear.)—lle bad been informed that at the present moment there were evident signs of great improvement in the general condition of Inland; the repeal of the Union would, in his mind, be that of preventing English capital sowing into that country. The markets of England, which were so important to that country, would he shut nut, and he had no doubt, if the repeal should take place, of shortly seeing Ireland in a ten times worse condition than she now was. Earl DARNLEY concurred entirely with what had fallen from the Noble Lord, He believed the effect of the Union was now beginning to work well in Ireland, and he had no doubt of shortly seeing that country rising to that degree of prosperity for which nature laid, intended her. Lord FARNHAM iuoved for the return of all parishes in Ireland in which tithe composition had been made, and the amount of that composition; also whether the whole, or if not, what part was payable to the incumbent or any other person. The Noble Lord also movcd for a return of those parishes in which . the composition had not taken place. The Noble Lord thought that the composi tion of tithes in Ireland had been attended with good effect, Lord KING, after a few remarks, read the following sample of tithe collection ; Barney Cooney to At civic/icon Magee, out of the Lands of Grange, £ a. d. To tithe of 4.7 tons of hay at 30e. -197 barrels of Barley, at 16e. 88 ditto of Wheat, at SOs. 193 ditto of Oats, at 15s l3 10 2 Making a total of £49 10 4 ,--(Great laughter.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Glasgow, -praying fur precautionary measures to be adopted leading to the abolition of Negro Slavery. On the motion of Lord GODERICH, the Colonial Acts Validity Bill was read a second tine. SCOTCH REPRESENTATION. Lord NAPIER. moved, for returns respecting the Iv presentation of Scotch counties and burghs, Lord ROSSLYN did not tliinlr that there were any persons in Scotland who could furnish the returns com prehended in the Noble Lord's motion. Ile wished the Noble Lard to postpone his motion for ,twenty-four.houro, to afford time for inquiring as to whether or not the returns could be obtaioech The LORD CHANCELLOR joined in the recommen dation that the Noble Lord shoul,l postpone his motion.— He (the Lord Chancellor) thought that a great part of the information called for by the Noble, Lord's motion could be obtained from the county (Tee books.. REGENCY BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the amendments made by the House of Commons in the Re gency Bill were agreed to. REFORM. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from the inha bitants of the ward of ALlgate, in the city of 'London, praying for Reform in Parliament, and for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. lie agreed with the petitioners as to the necessity of Reform and Retrenchment; and he would give the Ministers his support, with perfect confidence that they would act according to their declarations on those subjects. The orders of the day being disposed of the House ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS, DEC; 16. ST. 11.[AIVI. 7 .'S ELECTLON• Mr. M. FI'VZGERALD brought up the report of the Committee on the St. 14Swe's Election, which declared that the sifting Members were duly fleeted ; but that the petition against the return was neither, frivolous nor vexatious: CARRICKFERGUS ELECTION. . - - Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition, signed by IS voters of the town of Carrickfergus, which stated that the' signatures of several persons to the petition, complaining of the undue return of the. sitting Member, were forgeries. —Ordered to he printed. • Mr.IIOI3HOUSE presented a petition from St. James's, Westminster, complaining of the appointment of Select Vestries. The Hon. Member said, that the petition had, in the course of a few hours, received a thousand signatures, and the parishioner's justly complained of the great griev. ance they endured in being deprived of their natural rights. In these sentiments he cordially and sincerely concurred. Such a system of intolerance was the Select Vestries, that the inhabitants of St. James's had almost come to an unanimous determination not to pay any More rates unless they could controul the expenditure. To do, therefore, away, if possible, with the disgust that now 'existed, he would give notice of his intention, on the first day after the recess, to bring in a Bill upon the subject: Mr. resset Pelhain Mr. Denman, Mr. Alderimm Wood, Mr. Ifurne,-and Sir Francis Burdett, supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. WILKS stated that the abolition of the Select Vestry in the parish of Shoreditch was attended with' a reduction in the rattcor2a.—namely, from 4.5. Bd. to , Jr. Bth Mr. HOI3HOUSE said that the Bid he intended to bring in, would give every rate.payer an opportu nity of voting in the election of parish officers.— He should i n t r od uce a c l ause , h owever , to re nd er it optional with parishes to have the Act extended to . them or net, to be decided by a majority of the parishioners. Mr.' HOBHOLISB presented a petition from Mr. Thinn, a surgeon, complaining of the present laws releting to mad-houses.• Mr. EWART presented a petition front the Jessgs at Liverpool, praying that their civil rights may be granted tht rn. Mr. WILK'S presented it petition from Boston, pray ing for Reform, retrenchment, and a general reduction of taxation, particularly for a 'repeal of the • Assessed Taxes, the nuties on Coals, Soil), and candle,, and that al solarles aright be reduced to the standard of 1793. • CORBETT'S REGISTER. Mr. TREVOR wished to ask the lion. and Learned Member for Nottingham, if he had had his attention called to an anonymous letter in a weekly periodical, which he then held i n hi s h an d ? Il e h a l no hesitation in saying it was a most scan d a l ous and diabolical prabli cation, and, et a ti me like the pres e n t, when special com. missions were issuing for the repressing of anarchy and non' fusion; at a time when the Legislature' was endeavouring to alleviate the distresses of the people, it was a most serious evil that circulation should be given to papers of the description to which Le alluded. They were circulated through _the kingdom, and perused by those individuals who were the most discontented and disaffected, The pub lication to which be eroded was degrading to the press. The SPEAKER here said he was unwilling to inter rupt any flommeable Member, .esrcially at a time when he was about to ad: a queNtion ; but the argument into which he was enterinv was irregular, unless the lion. Member iotended to Mow it up by come distinct motion. Mr. E.

Mr. HOY complained of the stitement of the Hon. Gentleman, in saying that he had lost the coofidenee of his constituents. The fact was, that the petition which had Feed presented was one propo ed as an amendment by one lawyer, ,and seconded by another. ; When he mentioned th profession of these gentlemen, he did not do it invi diously, but only to show that at all events they were not persons of first•rate consetplence,in Southampton. It was likewise worthy of notice, that nue of these gentlemen had been agent to his opponent at one ,election, and the, other had written to him (Mr. Hay) to employ hi m a t the late election, with which request, however, he had nut complied ; besides which, he thought that if the lion. Oentleman would take the trouble to, inquire, he would find that the petition was by no means signed by the ma jority of the electors of Southampton. The lion. Gen tleman, however, wee very fond of setting himself up as the censurer of the whole House—(dear, hear)—lectur ing every person on his course of cooduct. Hear, bear.)

Gentleman, but he could not help wishing that some sarcastic giant would arise, or that this political Quixote would tilt against some winihnill, and then his (Mr. Hoy's) only task would be to write his epitaph, which should be— " Proumbit Humi Box," (Loud and leng-continued laughing.) Mr. HUME said that as to the rapectability of the pe tition, he should have the Hon. Gentleman to settle that question with his constituents. This be (Mr. Hume) knew, that it was signed by the Mayor, and delivered to him by the Mayor's brother, With respect to his courting pnpularity, be knew that no instance could be cited in sup port of such a.prialtion—(Hear, hear)—end he would give the Hun.

Gen tleman shOuldhave cheered the attack that had been made upon hini dithnot surprise him; for he had ever shown himself the patron of every abuse that had been brought forward, and the perpetual and interminable supporter of every corruption. Mr. GOITLBURN, as he had been appealed to, would mention one of the cases where the Hon. Gentlefnan had not always shown himself impelled lay that feeling for which lie had been' so ready to take credit. ln citing that in stance he would go no further back than to almost the last transaction of the last Session of Parliament. It was well known that' he (Mr. Goulburn) had last Session brought forward a measure for throwing open the trade in beer. On the filet discussion of that measure, the Urn. Gentleman had concurred in the propoN;tion ; but in a subsequent 'stage of the Bill he' had recorded his Vote against it.--(Hear, hear.)—lt was true, that bet Ween the first week of the measure, and the period of that vote, the Hon. Gentleman had become a candidate for Middlesex ; but Inc Geulburn) would not take on' himself to say what influence that circumstance might have had on the trensac t sou. —( Hear. Mr. :WARBURTON said, that We WM. Friend hail entertained doubt, on the subject many week' before that vote wee recorded, and long before he had 114 idea of be- Coming a candidate for Middlesex. Me. IltJMi explained, Mr. MABERLY was able to Mate that the Hen. Mem- ber'for Middlesex had made up his mind to vote as he did, before Inc even thought of becoming a candidate fur Middlesex. Mr. courxurlN had stated what had occurred on the Beer'Bill, of course leaving it open to explanation, if it Was susceptible of it, Mr. MAIIERL Y explained. Sir J. NEWPORT deprecated one Han.

The Marquis of CHANDOS, in rising to make az motion on this subject, ; said, that the Committee 'ap pointed by alehouse had unseated the Members that were returned, on the ground of bribery; and with this charge before the Bottle,: he certainly thought that they Were hound to oonlider whether a new election should he al lowed to take place. The evidence before the Committee had not yet been printed; hut, at all events, it was known that that. Committee bad decided against the two Members on the ground of corruption; anti thin, be contended, was enough to mil for the interference of the House, when it was' proposed to entrust the borough again with the right of returning Members, All that I Je 4_ t present asked was, that a short time should be allowed for the printing of the evidence, in order that the House might judge for itself; end he . should therefore move, that the Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crowe,. to make out a rupersedeas to the writ that had been issued, for the elec. tion of two Members for the borough of Evesham. Lord OEORGE LENNOX lecontled the motion, and (sailed the attention of the House to a paper signed " Ed. ward , Protheroe, jun.; in which that gentleman made the following etatement I plainly acknowledge my desire to renew our connection. There is no inconsistency in this. • With you, Gentlemen, I never bad the slightest emus° of - dissatisfaction : it was with the old system of your borough, with that unjust aysteni which, after faithful arid diligent services, accompanied by manly independence and 13.interestedness in every speech • and every vote, left me no hope of being re-elected, unbent trondeseended to trait° for my seat with those who bartered your privileges." 'non such n declaration as this was made by a gentleman well acquainted with the transactions of the borough, he thought that the House lied pretty good evidence before it of what woe the real 'State of the rase; anti be therefore trusted that Evesham would be disfranchised, and the represents- thou given ta some name worthy piece. He begged, how• ever, to say that be bitneelf personally knew nothing of Eveshum, nor had he any acquaintance with the two gin. tlenten against whom the Committee had decided. • Mr. BOLTON CIIVE was convinced that, although there Was enough teidence adduced to unseat the two Membet to who were returned, there was not enough to diafranchise the borough. • The number of voters in the borough were 4,26, of whom 14 , 1 resided in the horough, and 285 were non-residents; and of this whole number it Was only it small portion against which corruption had been proved. • He believed, therefore, that, es Chairman of that Election Committee, he inui been suite comet in Mr. ROSS said, that the sitting of pat ocular Item hers, and ulterior proceedings againet a borough for bribery I were two questions of a totally distinct character. The , Hem Member referred to the cases of Pent.loyn and Camel. fiord, as precisely similar eases. in them bribery was proved, and the House was called on not only to suspend th e write, hut to ritsfranchise the boroughs. In Evesham there were 426 voter'', end of course they did not all vote for the sitting Members; hut it hail been proved that every one of the non-resident voters who dill vote were bribed. Every one of them actually received a bribe. On these grounds he looted support the motion of loie Noble Friend fur eitpereeding the writ; which would give the Heusi, en opportunity to inquire. Mr. TENNYSON thought no case to justify the mo lion had teen made out, either ige the Weide Mover or the Hem Member who spoke last. Hi pot it to the Houle whether the case as it stood, could justify 'suspending the writ. In the other cases referred to, the Chairmen of the Committee had been instructed to move for the sulprnsion of the writ--(No,' no)—.hot that hail not been done, unless at the instance of a Cumtrittee. As the Hon. Member hail observed, that was not the case with the present Com mittee: The House, tom, had agreed the other evening to issue the writ ; and it would not he very judicious now to suspend its own order. An the persons convicted ef taking bribes amounted only to 22 out of 426 vat-re ; they were ellont.vozere, and funned a very sznell minority. To the cuee of East Iletford it seas piloted that a very large ma jority of the electors cotnpleined of were corrupt. They were proved to be corrupt, not at the boot election heron, the investigation; but at several f.srmer elections, and it eves proved that they were a great mass of corruption. The House in that ease 'suspended the writ, and enter. tained a Bill to disfranchise the borough. In the ease of East Tinton' it was not a single act of bribery and corrupt on 13 the lest eieetion, hat a gross case extruding through several elections, and not proved to exist at the list. There was long-continued corroptison. lisle there was nothing like that. Ile should object, however, to the motion, that now there was as Aolonieberetion formed which had given a distinct and positive pledge to litre,+ tigate the state of the reprzesntation with a view to amend it, he was disputed to clove full somfidence in that pledge, and to believe that the Ministers would persevere in that course. If the borough of Evesham required cor rection and excision, he would leave it to the Ministers to inquire end correct it.—(No, ne.)—When lie saw whence the present motion moceedeil, and recollected that the gentlemen who supported it had last session supported the motion respecting liassetlew, he could out avoid suspect ing their motives. The Hon. Gentlemen who spoke last hail always opposed the motion fur disfrenehiting Eat Retford, and therefore he mast have aims doubts as to the consistency of his fresent opinions. if the Hun. Member wanted to establish another Bassetlew, that itself could be with him a reason for objecting to the motion, and Would operate, he hoped, with the Henn to refuse the motion of his Noble Friend. He witted that one of the first mea sures of the new Government wouhl he rescind the Bill for transferring the franchise to Bessetlaw.—(A He did not knew say measure by which the Commons bad se degraded themselves in the eyes of the country as by their conduct on that oeeesien.—(No, eits.)—Even the Right lion. Gentleman opposite obtained on credit for hie conduct on that occasion, and it contributed, lie believed,. to the overthrew of his Administration. There was now a prospect of peered Reform, and he was not disposed to angle with the Noble Lord fur minims in the seine water, anti he hoped the House would reject the measure. An Hoe. Mxatexa, when spoke from under the Gal lery, contended that a gross ease hail been made out, which called for the severest censure of the }louse. The Report of the Committee had turned out the Members on account of corruption. He did not think that this ques tion ought to be deferred, because the general question was to be discussed ; for they knew neither when the Govern. tetent would bring forward the subject, nor what measure it would propose. Lord JOHN RUSSELL meant, in the few words he should address to the House, to confine himself to the none rowed limits. Ile should not' enter Into the general question of Reform, nor assert that it would be improper to assent to the motion, hems, the Hoes. Uri already ordered the writ to issue. there were tasty right," to be coneilleeed before the House resolved to sumpeed the writ. An inquiry should be instituted, and evidence received, to ascertain if the borough of EViShilli were as Corrupt as it was represented to be. There were many points which the How ought to investigate; for he had always been of opinion that the Grenville Act, by the inquiries it insti tuted through Committees, frequently screened eases of bribery, mil prevented them from being so frequently ',nought before the House, as they were before that Act wise paused. The•opinions of Election Committees were often, be thought, an obitaele to those immiriee, which the House was bound to make into eases of corruption. The question, however, before the Ileuse, was ant whether an inquiry Amid now take place into the corruption of the borough of Everhart, but 'whether the issuitig of the writ should be suipenzird or not ? The circumstances of the case were these a—That after an inquiry by a Com mittee, that Committee had not given the Chsirmee in structions to propose that no new writ should issue. The Mit thing the House had to look at mist be its own precedents. He bad looked at the precedents quoted by the lion. Member opposite (Mr. Rosi,) and that Hon. Geutleman colds! not deny that there were numerous pre cedents of the allegation of bribery tussle against Mem bers, and yet the writs for those plates lied issued. There was no instance of a Committee reporting merely against the Sitting Members, and on that report the House sure pending the writ. To justify that, there must be some special report against the electors. It was only said by some of the Members who composed the Election Com mittee that the Cali implied further corruption ; but that should be nude a matter of special report before the Home could be able to acts upon it. The precedents, then, were many in favour of iesuing the writ. At the same time, he admitted, that the House was not to be slavishly bound by the precedents of former times, though it was proper aid right that the House should Mem, pregame, untees something very strong could' be urged against it, that the preee dents of former times were founded in reason and justice. By the restthition of the Committee, it appeared that corruption had been preyed its the borough of Eve sham ; but, as his Hon. Friend had observed, it did not 'extend ever the whole borough, though, whether it'were confined to the twenty-two voters who heel been convicted, or to•two, or one, it was impossible to say. The Noble Lord who *amides' OM Motion thought the corruption was general, and seemed to argue that the House was bound to disfranchise the borough • but the Chairman of the Committee seemed to think the entruption - only pirtial, •and not to deserve diefrenchisemeat. lie Was at a loss to say, from the report before the House, whether the bo rough was se corrupt as to deserve disfranehisimert or not. Till that was proved, he thought it teas consistent with reason and precedent, that the noose should not sus pend the writ. The House had generillY issued writs as a matter of course, as conferring en the people the power of exercising their tights,. That was dee to the electors, and due tie the Houle, which bad' generally procesiiol on the prineiple that the House ought so he as complete as posonble. Principle then, as well as precedent, was in favour of issuing the writ. To suspend the writ would hoe strong measure, and one for which lie did not, yet see a sufficient reason ; Mail any stronger moons than he had yet hears' should be advanced, and it should appear to be due to the character of the House, neither he nor hit Noble Friend, Ito believed, would oppose any obstacles to the motion, H e certainly wished to know ',mutely the state of the case, but he did not see how that would he promoted by the motion. In the lest Parliament the writ for East Retforsi ' was suspended for three years, and he recollected that the Right lion. Gentleman opposite then stated, and lie fully agreed in the statement, that such a course was not to be followed,' but attoided. Ile recollected also that hie Noble Friend, now the Lord Chencellnr, felt and stated the .strongest objection to that courts of proceeding, anti fre quently supported a motion for the issuing of a writ; In general it would be very inconvenient to withhold the hitting of e writ, even though an investigation was going act to pause on. upon lie anybegged lmo the e ,Hhotlllts House with always due ie ti " i t d: i e n l a t i b ri u c t i i r;:t e i d o o t n i . l l 4 l Sir R.
