._%-r i sotrow` IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The house resumed at five o'clock. REPLY OF HER MAJESTY TO THE ADDRESS. After the presentation of some petitions, The LORD CHANCELLOR said--I have to ac quaint your lordships that the house waited this day upon her Majesty with the address, which was voted by your lordships on Friday last, and that her Majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious answer : " I have to thank you for your loyal and dutiful ad dres. It is highly gratifying to me to receive an assurance of your co-operation in giving effect to the measures which I coo,i , ler necess try for the honour of my Crown, and the welfare of my people." ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. The Earl of ABERDEEN gave notice of his inten tion to move the adjournment of the house for the Easter holidays, from Tuesday the 11th inst. until Thursday the 27th. CHURCH BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of HA.RROW BY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to enable churches in parishes, in cities and market towns to be pulled down, and to permit benefices to be united for religious pur- poses. Earl POWIS objected to the loose wording of the bill, which rendered it difficult to ascertain to what localities it would be applicable. He thought the measure would not prove so innocent as it seemed to be at the first glance. The Bishop of LONDON explained that all the pro visions of the bill were conditional. He supported it, as being absolutely necessary in the present condition of the metropolis. Lord ST. LEONARDS contended that all the churches which were to be pulled down under the provisions of the measure should be determined upon and designated before the bill was allowed to pass. The bill was then read a second time. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL The house went into committee on this bill, On Clause 6, Lord WYNFORD said the commission which was appointed on this subject refused to recommend the transfer of the jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery, and and the majority of those who voted on the report were the judges to whom under this bill the jurisdiction would be transferred. He moved, as.au amendment, that in stead of the words " exercised by her Majssty's High Court of Chancery," the words " exercised by her Ma jesty's Court of Probate" be inserted. The LORD CHANCELLOR said if this amendment were adopted the bill would be male a t,tally different bill, and every word of it must be altered. tie there fore trusted that their lordships would not a gree in this amendment. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE suppOrted the amendment. Lord CAMPBELL thought that instead of erecting a Court of Probat e it wou ld b e better to let the bd.i stand g there to the wa s as it was, and l e t the business of Probate at Court of Chancery, always supposing th • one tribunal in the Court of C hancer y to which parties could resort Lord ST. LEONARDS agreed that the jurisdiction should be in the Court of Chancery and not in a Court of Probate ; but he wished that it should be confined to one Court in Chancery, and that the Udge of the Prerogative Court, whose office-had been kept up at his suggestion, should be called on to sit with the judge of that court when necessary. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought that the clause in the bill provided all that was necessary, and avoided difficulties which the laiiguage of the clause of his noble and learted friend caused. Lord ST. LEONARDS said that he had been told by one of the principal advocates that the giving them precedence in the court would be a great boon ; but as he only wished to benefit them, and they did not desire it, he would strike that provision out. The Earl of HARROWBY inquired whether the es tablishment of one court in Chancery would have the effect of keeping up proctors and advocates. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he hoped so. He thought the business would naturally fall into their hands, although they could not have precedence. As to exclusive right to the business that was never con templated. Lord ST. LEONARDS said that he could not strike out that part of his clause which related to the prece dence of advocates in the new court. The clauses up to 36 were then agreed to, with verbal amendments. Before clause 37 was put, Lord ST. LEONARDS moveck the. clause above stated, with reference to confining the jurisdiction of probate to one court in Chancery ; Which was opposed by the LORD CHANCELLOR. Their lordship then divided For the clause For the amendment... lO-4 The remaining clauses and the schedule having passed, the house resumed. The bill to be reported this day. Their lordships adjourned at 20 minutes past eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—L(YESTERDAY.) The house resumed at half-past 5 o'clock. THE ADDRESS. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that the house had to-day been with her Majesty, and presented the address in reply to her Majesty's message, to which she had been pleased to make the following most gracious reply : " I thank you for you loyal and dutiful a ldress. The declaration of your sentiments on this occasion aff irds me great satiNfaction, I rely with confidence on your co-ope ration in the measures which I may consider necessary for thehonour of my crown and the welfare of my peo►ple." PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords amendments to the Leeds New Gm Bill were considered and agreed to. ' The following bilis were read a third time and passed : —Bacup Improvement, Brighton and Hove Gm, Clyde Navigation (Amendments to be proposed), Doncaster 'Cemetery, Glasgow New Street, Hereford Improvement, Imperial Gas Company,' Stockton, Middlesbrough, and Yarm Water, North London Railway. " The following bills were consigleretl, and ordered to be read a third time :—A.rnbergate, Nottingham, and Boston, and EamternJanction ; Belfast Harbour ; Blyth and Tyne Railway ; Bolt. m Gas, Cardiff Ga Chesterfield Market, Hamilton Waterworks, Harrow Waterworks, Havering, Dagenham, Sewers ; Kingswood Roads ; Port Gordon Harbour ; Ridghil., Lanes, and H dettouse Road; Salford, Stockport, and •MAnche‘ter Division; Tyne Keeltnen ; Wellin.gton (Salop) Improvement ; Whiteha.ven, Cleator, an , l Ezrement Railway ; Loudon, Bri bton, and South Coast R hilts. The Dackbarn Improvemei.t (No 2) Bill was read a second time, anti or lereti to b coonnittel NORTH LONDON RIILWXY. The Marqu's of C FIANDOS moved the third reading of this bill, which gave rise to considerable discussion, in the course of which Mr. CARDWELL announced that on Thursday next he should state the course which the Government meant to pursue with rtgard to the general question of railway legislation. The bill, as well as several other railway bills which atood on the paper for progress, were postponed until Monday next, in consequence of this annourv.:eroent. CHURCH LEA3EHOLDS. On the motion of Mr. INGHAM the following address was agreed to :—Address for return of the number of leaseholds (every lease being considered as a distinct leasehold) in the several dioces-s of England and Wales, in respect of which applications have been made by the lessees either to the archbishops and bishops, or deans and chapters resp ec ti ve l y, for the purchase of the rever sion or for the sale of the term, or for both in part ; and whether on such appli cat i on terms have b een either agreed upon and refe rre d t o th e C hurch Estate Commis sioners, or declined by the lessees, or whether such ap plications have been declined by the lessors, and, if de dined, on what grounds, or remain under consideration. RAILWAY SCHEMES. On the motion of the Marquis of CHANDOS the following return was ordered :—Copy of any communi cation from the General Committee on Railway and Canal Bills to the Board of Trade, in reference to the report of the tatter on railway schemes, dated February, 1854 ; and of any answer of the board thereto. SCOTCH EDUCATION. On the motion of Mr ALEX. HASTIE, the following ad• dress was , agreed to :—Address for copies of correspon dence that has taken place between the promoters of. the Secular School, St. Andrew's square, Glasgow, and the Coinmittee 4 of Council cm Education ; and of the cor• respondence between die promoters of Williams's SeCular School, E linburgh, and the stout committee. LOUTH ELECTION. The SPE.&KER acquainted the house that he had received a report from the examiner of recognisance% stating than the recognioance , in the e4ge of tha county Louth election petition were unobjectinTAthte. BUSINESS FOR. TUEiDNY. In reply to S;r JouN PAKINGTOM, Lord J. Rli-iiELL stated that it was proposed to morrow (this day) to take the second reading of the Elucation (Scotland) Bill, but the committee on the Clergy Disabilities Bill, which stood also for to-mor row, would be po-dponed. THE BLACK, SEA. FLEET. Captain SCOBELL sa! , l a report had gone abroad that the Black Sea fleot been imps led in its opera and would be satisfactory toms by the want Weo ale, to the house,-no doubt. if the first Lori of the Adati reity would state whether or no there was any founda tion for the rumour. Sir J. GRAHAM b a d much pleasure in informinz the house that he had received a letter from Admiral Duna's, dated at Constantinople as late as the 19th of March, which contained no mention of the subject ; but be knew of. his Own knowledge that, since the 14 of January, 10,000 tons of colt had been seat to Const.tn tinople for the use of the &et, while there were about 6,000 tons in store at Malta. The letter to which he referred stated that the Let would be in the B ,:phoras for a-few days, but he understood that this morning a telegraphic despatch had received announcing that the fleet had arrived in - the (Hear, hear.) neighbourhood of Yarns. THE CASE OF MR. STONOR. Lord D. STUART moved the adjournment of the house for the purpose of re-opening th e case of Mr. Stonor, which had already been twice btiore the house. The noble lord, howelsr, who had simply gi ven notice of a Taeston, di4 110 t prkit is ths ilauti94l- making a statement, he concluded by asking whether her Majesty's Government would send out a despatch for cancelling the appointment of Mr. S onor, a com mittee being pendiwr to inquire into the cir umstances. Lord - J. RUSSELL protested against the course which the noble lord had taken of moving the adjourn ment of the, house, and then went on to say that the motion for the committee would be made on Thurs day, when the Government would be quite ready to accede to it. All the circumstances touching the appointment would then come before the com mittee, and the house would find that the recom mendations of Mr. Stonor were entirely of a legal and professional nature, and that it was quite an oversight of the noble duke at the head of the colonial department in not being aware of the report which had been made against Mr. .Stonor. He trusted, however, that the committee would make no recommendation that the appointment should be continne 1, although it might be a c Lse of great hardship on Jr. Stonor, but the real state of the matter was this. The appointment had been made in Victoria, but when it cane home for confirma tion the noble duke would decline to confirm it on the part of her Majesty. STATUTE LAW COMMISSION. Mr. BOWYER asked what course Government pro posed to pursue with respect to the Statute Law Conso lidation Commission, whether it was to b e renewe d or allowed to drop with all its valuable labours incomplete. Lord J. RUSSELL replied that as the Attorney- General was not in the house he was unable to answer the question ; but he understood his learned fnend had been in communication with the Lord Chancellor on the subject. NEW REFORM BILL. Sir E. BERING gave notice that on Monday next he would ask the noble lord the member for the city of London, whether be intended to move the second read ing of the Reform Bill on the 27th inst._ BRIBERY Fee., BILL. , On the order o f th e d a y f o r the committal of this bill, Lord J. RUSSELL, i n m oving that the Speaker do leave the ch a i r , appea l e d to the hon. and learned mem ber for Suffolk to allow his bill to come on next, and before the Controverted Elections Bill. Sir. F. KELLY was understood to assent to the proposal. Mr. V. SMITH then moved as an amendment that the bill be referred to a select committee, announcing that it this amendment was carried he should more that the other two bills be referred to the same committee. The three bide ought to be coniniered together, but it was impossible to do that in committee of the whole h ou se, and hence arose the necessity for a select com mittee, where all the three bills could be discussed together and ultimately coasolitleted into one effective measure. Several points embraced in the other hills were omitted from that of the noble lord. This showed the impossibility of coneidering - the - Measures apart ; and there was not time to take them in eueceesion on the wee evening. Oue important matter was that neither of the bile had any provisions relating to agents, not legal agelits, but those mysterious persons who went ' about telling people ta Open their hands and shut their eyes and see what they c mid get. (Laughter.) Tnese were the real authors of the mischief, and yet there was no provision to reach them. The proper course would be to refer all the bills to a committee up-stairs. It might he said they would still have to be discussed by the house, but this would be done much more conve niently after an investigation before a se set committee. They should then know what they could do, and how the evil could be reached. An enthusiaern at amst bribery had arisen that session such as was never shown before ; but out of d iore this feeling very widely pre vailed that there was a great deal of hypocrisy in this. (Hear, hear.) People thought that hon. members found it an easy virtue to disclaim - against that bribery of which, owing to the interposition of agents, they could not possibly be convicted. It behoved them, therefore, to proceed cautionely, and not rashly to inflict such penalties as were given by the noble bird's bill. Could they carry ent the serious penalty of depriving a man of his qualification for life, and would the public go with them in such a course? Suppose that, in early life, Lord John Russell himself, when party feeling was much hieher than now, had been deprived by the vote of a parliainehtary committee of his se..t for life ; and he hail stVisequently diepleyed the abilities for legislation which he possessed, would the public have acquiesced in his perpetual exciueion from public life ? (Heer.) There would be a difficulty in finding prosecutors ; for who would come forward in such a case where the result might he to deprive a man of the chance of ever again being elected? It became both the convenience and the honour of the house to proceed cautiously in such a mat ter, lest they should do more harm than good. A great deal might be done by themselves. One gentleman had admitted before a committee that he purposely refused to look at any vouchers. If candidates would directly discourage every species of bribery and undue influence, that would do more than anything else to put an end to the system. It should be remembered that their object was not backed by any strong feeling among the consti• tuencies. In one case the committee found that it was not poverty by any means which induced the acceptance of bribes ; men renting houses of 201. or 30/. had taken them as readily as occupiers of 10/. houses. Any violent legislation must fail, as in the c Ise of smugglers or poachers, until the same feeling was excited in the public mind against the offence as existed in that house. He could not recognise the distinction taken by the bill be tween bribery and undue influence. He thought that a pound's worth of any kind of goods was as much bribery as a pound in money; in fact, he was at a loss to know what was undue and what was due influence. He con cluded by moving that the bill should be referred to a r select committee, in the hope that it would be promptly Iproceeded with. Mr. DEEDES seconded the amendment, and ex pressed the difficulty which he felt in dealing with the three measures sep irately, all of which related more or less to elections. He hoped the noble lord would con sent to the proposal. All who set on election commit tees must have seen that this was a growing evil, and one which cast opprobrium on the house and on mem bers individually. If the committee went into the ques tion with a determination to apply a remedy to the evil, he was certain their end would be attained. It was most important to deal with the question conclusively. Lord J. RUSSELL said he was grew ly disappointed at the amendment of his right lion. friend. He con sidered that, if it were successful, it would be equivalent to postponing till another session any consideration rela tive to bribery. (Hear, hear.) In the way he proposed to consider these bills there wars not really any practical difficulty. The hon. and learned gentleman opposite, who had con-idered both the hills, had pointed out that clause 2 and the two following clauses in his (Lord J. Russell's) bill, with reference to oaths, and likewise clime , ' 7, with reference to agents, related to the same subjects as were treated in his bill. Undoubtedly he was criite right ; and it would b' inconvenient for the house to discuss one set of firoVieirinS of that kind with out having others before them, which the author of the bid, at leest, censiilered more effectual. But he should have had eo difficulty in proposing the poetponernent of all these clauses. When the committee had gone thrimeh the other clitusee he should have pr posed tint the chair man d i report progress ; they could then immediately go into the bill of the hole agel learned gentleuati, and consider its various provieions with reference to that and other su ijecte. Besides these few clauses there were several 'natters treated in both bills for which different provisions were made ; and the house would have no difficulty in dealing with these propositions in o ominit tee. The last speaker pointed out several other provi sions which were not in either bill, and said that there were several persons competent to suggest other provi sions which ought to be introduced. But let the hon-e consider what a large field was thus opened. If the bine went before a select committee it could not he expected that the members would agree as to their provisions ; for many members of the house had different opinions on these subjects. There would therefore be all the provisions of these hills to consider—all those which the right hon. gentleman had recommended, and all the others which might be suggested ; and, this being so, they could hardly hop e , to get the bills back from theecommittee before the end of May or the beginning or middle of June. They would then have to be discussed in committee of the whole house ; and it was a subject on which so many members of the house were informed, so many having served on election com mittees who could not poisibly be on the select com mittee, that considerable time must be occupied in die cumin the bills in conirnittere of the whole house. They would hardly reach the House of Lords before a very late period of the session, when there would be great danger of their being put aside for the Beaten. Therefore the rea l question for consideration was,_ whether or not the .) gentleman said he .objected to m an y o f house was dispose d to e n t ertain the bills. (Hea r , h ear d The right hon. their provisions ; but the house in committee could en tertain' those objections. . If it ;need. _that too se vere penalties were affixed to persmis committing the offence of bribery, that surely was a question of principle to be considered in committee of the whole house ; and they might decide, if they saw fit, in favour of more lenient penalties. There was no practical difficulty in dealing with the q uest i on. On the ot h er baud, if the bills were sent befor e a select committee h e (Lori J. Russell) should be utt er l y take part in the discussion in creitmittee of the whole unable to attend on it, he could only i house when the bills came back; ' li into k w i ( io l iv ili n l ; oo l w ie g p o r ) .ipsed to ' Consotidate vieiers committee and consider these pro . .

In the first place he should be willing to take any the object of preventing the measure from passing this session, or which might seem to be in any way of a party character. The noble lord hail taken the fairest possible course that could be suggested ; he proposed to take Sir F. Kelly's bill second in order, relating as it did to Cie some subject, the prevention of bribery, and to postpone the controverted clauses in his own bill. Another reasen fur objecting to the amendment wan , that stated by the noble lord, that he himself would be I unable to serve on the committee ; and any committee without the noble lord's as- istance would not give satis faction. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore, hoped that the amendment would not be pressed. He thought it right to take that opportunity of stating that there were cer tain clauses in his bill of of last session which be sheuld be under the necessity of proposing as fsl , etuitneuts op this,... ........ - • - • " ---- CA saTilogf gddi that witiongr4 14 liTitizry 43 _ _... _ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1854. had as much objection to it as any person ; but, after being twenty-six years in that house, he had yet to learn what bribery was. The noble lord attempted ; to define i it in his hill ; but he (tliti; ailonel) could not subscribe I to his definition. (Laughter;) What he defined as bribery was practised almost every day by those who had the honour of sitting on the treasury bench. (A. laugh.) It appeared that the noble lord—the pure lord —the spotless minister of the crown—had chosen to give an appointment to Mr. Stonor, after he had been con victed of bribery. (Hear.) There was purity for you ! (Great laughter.) He had read all these bills, but could not approve of them, and should oppose the house going into committee on them. He thought, now that we were engaged in war, that such a subject ought to be allowed to drop. He found that the noble lord's two bills had not been introduced until a week after Mr. Walpole's, and yet the former were to he considered first. What was the meaning of this ? Was there an understanding between the whig and tory benches ? (Liughter.) He should move the further postponement of the bill till that day six months. The SPEAKER said the hon. and gallant member could not move that amendment now. Mr. PIIINN regretted that the noble lord had not consented to refer the bill to a select committee The noble lord proposed to repeal no less than 10 statutes, incorporating many of their provisions into different sect'ons of this bill ; and the mode in which this was done required the most careful consideration. The committee on the Dungarvan election put a construc tion on the Treating Act which was much more stringent than that usually put upon it by election committees. It was, in fact, almost impossible to reconcile the con flicting decisions of committees on that subject. (Hear, hear.) He did not agree with the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) that the reference of the bill to a select com mittee would cause its postponement to the next ses sion. Al fortnight would suffice to get through it, and he saw no reason why it should not be ready to be submitted to the Lords by the middle of May. Mr. F. PIGOTT opposed the amendment. Mr. I. BUTT should vote for the amendment if it were pressed to a division. The noble lord said if the bill were referred to a select committee it must be post poned till next year. Even if that were the case, the question was whether it was better to have a bad bill this session or a good one next. (Hear, hear.) Hasty legislation was not likely to be at all effectual. Mr. NAPIER thought the sooner the house got into the subject the better. He should himself have pre ferred a select committee, but if the noble lord was op p ised to it he should not vote against him. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wa- convinced that if the house g..it into coimuittee it would never get out of it. (Lauguter.) So many intricate questions were in volved that there would be a perfect war of words. He wished to know what was meant by the provision as to having received or asked for, directly or indirectly, place, office, or employment. Wnether or not any Go vernment could exist is this country without the exer cise of patronage, he could nut pretend to determine ; but it became toe house to beware iu what position they placed electors. Mr. CROSSLEY was in favour of at once going into committee, not because he thought the bill would prove effectual, bat because he wished she Government to learn that they must, after all, come to the ballot. (Hear.) Mr. PACKE supported the amendment. He would suggest to the noble lord to consider whether, during the hours of polling a restriction might not usefully be placed on the sale of intoxicating liquors. Lord HOTIIAM said it appeared to him that, with tile ex !epti ni of toe noble lord tii,nAdlf, who held no office, the whole of the members of the Government would come under the charge of bribery as defined in the bill. It was notorious that nine out of ten of the public offices were distributed fur political purposes. Toe whole subject was ,o•c,ainplicate.l, that there could be no satisfactory legislation upon it without a select committee. The house then divided— prosecutions would be subject to the control of the At torney-General. Mr, G. BUTT opposed the proviso. Mr. P [JINN observed that in all cases the costs were at the discretion of the court, and if it saw that the pro secution was improperly instituted it would not allow the costs. Lord R. GROSVENOR asked if it was intended to prevent candidates being charged with travelling ex penses, which were frequently made the means of bri bery. Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not propose to make any alteration in that respect in this bill. Clause 5 was then agreed to. On clause 6, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—April a OLD COURT. The April sittings of this court commenced this Morn"; ing, before the Recorder, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Kelly, Mr. Alderman Farneomb, Aldermen Carden and Salomons. The calendar contains the names of 147 prisoners, one of whom stands charged with murder, one for manslaughter, three for cutting and wounding, one for feloniously shootinz with intent to murder, and no fewer than 47 for passing bad coin, and three for coining. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The Recorder said, it was with much regret he saw that the calendar before him was a very heavy one, heavier in point of numbers than any that he had ever had before him, but, still he was glad to find that the crimes charged were not so very heavy. Although there were some cases of cutting and wounding, he was glad to find that the crime of violence to the person was di minishing, a circumstance he attributed to the spread of education. With re.rard to the case of murder, there could be no doubt that the unfortunate woman met her death by the act of the prisoner, and although a question might arise as to the state of the pri soner's mind, their duty would be to find the bill, and leave the petty jury to decide that issue. All the cases in the calendar had been investigated by the magistrates, but doubtless some bills would he brought before them that had not passed that or deal, and those bills they should look upon with jea lousy, as, generally speaking. the course was an objec tionable one. Still he did not say but that in some in stances it was a proper one. Another case which he would draw their attention to was, that of a person who, charged with embezzlement, had fired a pistol at the prosecutor, and the act was attributed to an accident ; that would also be a question for them to leave to the petty jury. He now came to a case of which they (the grand jury) had doubtless heard through the press, which was th t of two persons named Harrison and Desaux, which would come before them as a charg- of conspiracy, with others not in custot'y, to obtein the prostitution of a Belgian girl. The only difficulty that arose in the case was, that part of the transaction took place in Belgium and part in France, for which parts they could not be charged in this indictment ; but if they conspired in this country to commit any part of the offence, that was an offence at common law. He did not know of any case in point, but-it was certain that the act known as the Bishop of Oxford's would meet the case, and said, that he should recommend them to fled the bill, and leave any point of law to be dis cussed in court. He thought it likely that duri► g the session there would be another bill preferred. fur an asault an l false iinprisonment arising out of the same Me. WALPOLE said clause 5 dealt with persons who offered bribes, and clause 6 related to persons who re ceived bribes. By this clause they made a person guilty of bribery who asked for any place on account of having voted for any particular candidate. Suppose a person who voted for the noble lord (Lord John Russell), and within a year after he asked for place which he was perfectly competent to fill, was he to be deemed guilty of bribery? Col. SIBTHORP said a wink was as good. (Laughter.) The whole of this bill was nothing more nor less than an attempt to undermine the fair and legitimate right of those who possessed the property—he meant the aris tocracy. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said his present im pression was that the words "ask for" bad better be left out. (Hear, and laughter.) It would be necessary to make this ense and the counterpart of clause 5 corre spond. He would therefore take it into consideration previous to the re-committal of the bill. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the clause would have very little operation, as it would be difficult to prove a case so as to bring about a conviction. Mr. HILDYARD said it was absurd to inert such a clause. When Lord Derby took office, he (Mr. Hild yard) had many applications from his constituents for places ; and when Lord Derby left office those applica tions ceased. Was the noble lord about to declare that the practice which had heretofore prevailed should cease to exist ? Mr. MALINS also opposed the clause on similar grounds. Colonel SIBTHORP said that during the six and twenty years he had been in the house he had never asked a favour of any Government. At the same time he had always been courteously treated by both Whigs arid Tories, and lie attributed that to the straightforward course he had always pursued. Lord J. RUSSELL s Lid the obj , ct of this hill was to consolidate and amend the law relating t ► bribery. fin t, gentlemen, however, spoke as if he were intro ducing for the first time a clause against persons receiv ing a bribe in the shape either of moiety or employ ment ; but they entirely forgot that there were already upon the statute book laws fur that purpose ; and what he proposed to do chiefly by this clause was to reduce the penalty imposed by the act of George IL from 5001. to 50/. There was no doubt whatever that there were some words in the clause that went beyond the existing law, and his hot,. and learned friend pr. p rased to recon sider it with the view of making an alteration in its phraseology, though without any alteration it would not apply to the case which had been put by the hon. and learned member for Cockermouth. _ _ transaction. There was also another case which was one of the most paramount importance to the adaiinis tration of justice in these.courts. It was one where two men, named Jones anCPull, had obtaine,l, by an order at the Middlesex Sessions, the sum of 2/. 55., alleging that-they had been engaged to prosecute a man charged by Mr. E. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, with robber). The man had, it appeared, pleaded guilty, and ?Jr. Smith had never employed the prisoners to con duct the prosecution It was by this fraud they had imposed upon Mr. Serjeant Adams, a gentleman not generally easy to deceive. The grand jury then retired. Mr. Clarkson applied to the court upon the part of the Bank of England, to withdraw from the prosecution against the wife of the late Frederick D 4 Molyns, who stood charged with having uttered a forged power of attorney for the transfer of stock. De Molyns had since died in Newgate, and it was clear that the wife had acted under his directions. Mr. DISRAELI said the bill not only consolidated, but it also amended and extended the law in a very ma terial particular. The great fault of these consolidathtn bills was that they consolidated that which often ought to be repealed. The clause as it now stood was mon strous in its provisions, but it appeared to him that if they were to leave out the last two lines many of the obj:ictions would be got rid of. Sir W. CLAY suggested that the best way to pre vent these cases was to extend the constituencies. Most of the applications for places came from small con stituencies. Mr. WALPOLE would answer the suggestion by reading a few words from a return which had jest been laid on the table. It was a return of the boroughs con victed of corrupt practices between 1833 and 1853, and the total number was 76 ; of those, being boroughs in England and Wales, 12 had a constituency of less than 500 ; there were many between 500 and 1.000, while there were 22 places where the c instituency was more than 1,000. In 1850 it was found that the majority of the bribery cases applied to large towns, the worst of which were places like Hull and Liverpool. Sir W. CLAY had said nothing about bribery, he had simply referred to applications ior places, but even in these large towns the bribery was confined to freemen. Mr. BOOKER viewed this bill as a thorough piece of humbug, but as it was intended to revolutionise the system of Government patronage, he would'propose that the further consideration of the bill should be postponed to a more fitting opportunity. It was ridiculous to sup pos3 that the Government would ever d stribute their patronage amongst other than friends aul supporters. After a remark from Mr. V. SCULLY, Mr. BOOKER moved that the chairman do report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL observed that it appeared to him that the hon. member *as favourable to bribery. How ever, all that the committee was now required to do was to pass the clause, with a view to its being altered, and the bill afterwards re-committed. Mr. DISRAELI saw no objection to that course. Mr. BOOKER assure , ' the noble lord that he wag as much opposed to bribery as any man, but he decidedly objected to imposing pains and penalties upon the poor constituency, when in nine cases out of ten the member was the really offending party. He withdrew the amend ment. The Recorder said they had better not go before the grand jury with the bill. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-April 3. Fur going into committee 146 For the aliendinent The house then went into committee, and clauses 1 to 4 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 5, Mr. WALI'OLE said he thought the words of the clause made the offence of bribery too extensive, treating as bribery what was not so in fact. If any person gave valuable camideration .to a voter who wag "about to vote," though it might opt be in order to induce him to vote, the traosaxtion was treated as bribery. A. person who was about to vote might have a place given to him without any corrupt intention. The words which he would suggest, instead of those used, were, " with the intent to induce any voter to vote, or to refrain from voting, at any election." He would also suggest that the 5 and 6 Vic., c. 102, with regard to head money, should be inserted. He thought, too, that there should be a provision with regard to kindred or affinity. He men• tinned this because last year a case came before an elec tion committee in which a father, who was not himself a voter, was led to persuade his son to vote in a par ticular mariner for his own advantage. Lord J. RUSSELL thought that the words "about to vote" sufficiently conveyed the object for which the place was given. With regard to head money, that was provided for in a subsequent part of the bill. With regard to the third point, he thought it better that the words "kindred or affinity" should not be introduced, because the voter might be influenced by a person who was no relation receiving a bribe. Mr. V. SMITH wished to know the meaning of the words "any person authorised to act as agent." The case of agency was one of the greatest difficulties they had to contend against. It was, therefore essential that it should be defined. The April general quarter sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at Clerken well, there being 94 prisoners for trial. The Assistant Judge, in addressing the grand jury, said that during the last 12 months 2,500 bills had been sent to this court, 75 of which were ignored through the non-appearance of prosecutors. In six of the cases there had been a full confession of guilt by the prisoners, and in others women who had been bound over to prosecute their husbands for assaulting them had denied before the grand jury that they had ever been beaten at all, their object being to save tiivir husbands from the con sequences of a trial. Atter some general observations on the cases that would come before them he dismissed them to their duties. THE ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON THE LESSEE OF DRURY LANE THEATRE. - Henry Joseph Perry, convicted last session, was brought up to receive judgment. .He was convicted of steal►ng half of a 101. note from,the offices of the Wesleyan Re form Association, at Exeter Hall, and was given into custody in consequence of having attempted to obtain some money upon it from Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, representing that he had been sent by his father, Mr. Flexrnore, the clown. The Assistant Judge said he considered the best course he could take would be to sentence the prisoner to a long terra of imprisonment, with a view of being ad mitted into the Philanthropic Society's S,•huol at Red hill. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' hard lahrmr. George Cooper, 14, pleade , i guilty to a charge of having stolen a handkerchief from the person of Abraham S.tq ut. Some observations were made by the AsAst ‘nt Judge with reference to this prisoner haying, while in the House of Detention on the charge of pocket Ticking, committed an act of wilful damage for the purpose, as he afterwards informed the visiting justices, of getting a long term of imprisonment, so that he might be tatrilit to read and write. This was a case, he said, which showed the 'necessity for something to be done in the way of instruction for these unhappy juvenilo delinquents, and he trusted that though all thought was directed to war, they would not stop in their career. which had been rapid and promising of late, of improving the present system. He should sentence the prisoner to two years' hard labour, with a special re commendation for his being sent to Redhill. Sentence accordingly. Mr. V. SMITH asked what was the alteration pro posed to be made in the clause ? Lord J. RUSSELL intended to introduce the words "in consideration of," suggested ny an hon. and learned member, so as to keep the clause within the bounds of the existing law. Lord C. HAMILTON sugge.ted that as such great alterations and modifications were to be made in the clause it had better be postponed. Lord J. RUSSELL said he had had a good deal of experience in passing bills through that house, and he had found it the best course to have a discussion in com mittee on the clauses, but not to weigh every word so as to fix them, and then to recommit the bill. He had passed the Tithe Commutation Bill, and the Municipal Corporations Bill. After some conversation in which Mr. I. Burr ob jected to clauses being thrown on the table one after the other merely to be postponed, and Mr. WARNER sug gested that the Government should reconsider their de termination and let the bill go to a select Committee, Mr. BOOKER said he bo.ped the noble lord would not press tce clause, or he must move that the chairman report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed to the postponement, and the house resumed. _ _ Sir F. KELLY apprehended the words were not in• tended to include any case of agency except that of agency directly authorised by the candidate. fie would suggest, therefore, in order to render the clause more clear, that the words "by him" (the candidate) should be inserted before the word " authorised." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said this being a penal clause, it was not intended to apply to the case of con structive agency, which had been the subject of great anxiety and some opprobrium. The agent here in tended was the person directly authorised by the candi date to commit the act prohibited, arid though that was necessarily implied by the words of the clause, no doubt the words suggested by the hon. and learned gentleman would make the cause more clear. Tine object of the clause was to strike at an offence characterised by a males aeimus. Mr. G. BUTT thought that the addition of the words suggested by his hon. and learned friend would be ne cessary. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL signified that he had no objec tion to their insertion. ' Colonel SIBTLIORP said this bill struck at the free men of England, who were more pure than the members of the Treasury bench themselves. (Laughter.) He would wash his hands out of the bill for the present, but would oppose it in future stages. Mr. PHINN suggested the words "employed by him," which were the words used in the statute of George 11. Mr. I. BUTT thought it quite right that the agent .1ire.:..e.1 t i conuuit snout(' be dee:ued guilty of a crbui niti offence ; but they stiluld be cautious that, in crea ting a criminal offence, they did not alter the whole soote 1 tw which subjected the member to loss of his seat tor constructive agency. The words proposed by Sir F. Kelly were then ordered to be inserted. _ _ The Towns Improvement (Ireland) Bill went through committee pro forma. The Church Buildings Continuance Acts Bill as amended was considered. The Dublin Port Bill was read a second time. MINISTERS' MONEY BILL. This bill was read a third time, and after a clause brought up by Mr. PAGAN had been added to it and certain verbal amend►nents made, was passed. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and The house adjourned at 20 minutes past 12. After a lug discussion, on some verbal objections raised by Mr. WALPJLE, Mr. AIALINS, and Mr. I. BUTT, Lord J. RUSSELL promised to recommit the bill, in order that an opportunity might be afforded the house to reconsider the phraseology of this and other clauses, after it had been finally settled by the Government. In the meantime, the suggestions of the hon. and learned gentlemen would meet with every attention, and would in all probability be adopted. Lord HON:UM thought the latter part of this sec tion would extend to cases not within the intention of the framers of the measure. For instance, if a gentle man, wishing to get hie so n a seat in Parliament, were to make a present—not in money—to a person who had exerted himself in obtaining the son's return, that would be an offence under this clause. Lord J. RUSSELL thought that the introduction of the word " corruptly" would obviate all difficulty. Lord HOTHAII thought that, inasmuch as the in terpetration of this clause would have to be made by committees of the house, the introduction of the word "corruptly" would not get over the difficulty. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL reminded the com mittee that the clause under consideration was a penal clause, imposing a penalty of 1001. Committees of that house did not impose penalties or enforce penal statutes, therefore the noble lord was not quite correct when he said the interpretation of the measure would rest with committees of the house. _ _ _ _ PARLIAMENTARY DI VISION.

FRU' raid. W. . . Aloatiromery, Et. Lord LIOTHAM wished to know whether the gift of offices and places by members of her Majesty's Govern ment would be bribery within this bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Not unless corruptly given. Mr. HENLEY thought that the duties to be per• f" , nei by coalmen apace would briug thew within the bill. Mr: : It: PALMER said that the bill followed the language of the statute of George 111., which had been held not to include common agents. Upon that part of the clause fixing the penalty at 1001, being real, Mr. WALPOLE prop ose d t o a l ter the amount to 501. The only effect of fixing the penalty high was to wake the measure a dead letter. Mr. MASSEY was for doing away with the penalty altogether, and making bribery an offence at common l a w. If an agent became liable under the present bill, the candidate, feeling that he bad got the agent into the, scrape, would be sure to pay the amount of the penalty, and thus the system proposed in the bill would ineffect' only swell the election . expenses. The CHAIRMAN said it would be irregular to put the amendment at the present time, but it might be pat afterwards. drawn, After a short discussion t he amendment was w ith - Mr. PHINN asked the Solicitor General if he would consent to a proviso giving costs to the prosecutor in case of convintion. As the law at present stood, if a periAt prosecuted for bribery be had to pay the costs, whiie if he prosecuted for riot the costs were allowed. , The SOLICIFOR-GRNER,A.E. said the suggestion was an exceedingly valuable one. The Attorney-General was at present nut in the house, but he would consult Jum upon it. lk;r. HENLEY hoped the hon. gentlema n would w e ll --eo&ider an thi s subject bet re. he made up his mind upon it.

MARYLEBONE..— William Carpenter Phillips, aged 17, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having robbed his master, Mr. Henry Pike, 7, Newcastle-place, Edgware-road, of cash and other pro perty to a considerable amount. Sergeant Haseltine said that upon a future day he should be able to prove a former conviction for felony against the prisoner. t • Mr. Broughton, iA order to afford time for the officer to institute other inquiries, remanded the prisoner, who had nothing to say, till Monday next. WORSHIP-STREET.—Charles Smith, 50, a mu - cian, Thomas !lardy, a hawker, and Thomas Lewis, a weaver, were charged with outrages upon their wives. In Smith's case, the wife stat ed that she sat up waiting for her husband till nearitmdnight, when he returned home furious with drink, and, after loading her with the vilest epithets he could think of, swore that he would dash her brains out • and, grasping hold of the poker, levelled such a terrii:le blow at the side of her head with it that, if it had taken effect, the woman said it must have instantly killed her. She stooped, however, and so evaded part of the force of it ; on seeing which, the prisoner levelled a second blow at her head, and, not so fortunate in escaping it this time, the poker deseended'heavily upon her shoulder, injuring her very much. "he is constantly illusing me in this way, sir, and I am always in great danger of losing my life through him." . Mr. Hammill sentenced-this man, who simply pleaded intoxication, to be imprisoned for six months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour, and to provide bail for his peaceable behaviour for six months more. _ _ _ _ _ In Lewis's case, King, a constable of the H division, was on duty in. Charlton-street, Bethnall-green, at a late hour at night on the 18th ult., when he heard a woman uttering terrifying screams ; and, upon hastening up, found the prisoner's wife in the street, almost naked, her mouth bleeding profusely, and so contused and swollen " as to have the appearance of apiece of liver." She complained that her husb and . had inflicted these in jur.es, and detailed another injury of so brutal and inde• cent a character that. it cannot be stated. Notwith standing this both the woman herself and her married daughter positively refuSed to give any evidence against the man, the wife protesting that it was all her own fault, and, though they were both obliged to confess to former and repeated illisage,- - they obstinately perse vered in screening Mitt ITU they could. Mr. Hammill said they, were evidently trying to con ceal all the facts, but more than sufficient had been eli cited to establish the case, and he should therefore sen tence the prisoner (who had been remanded since the 18th, and expressed great contrition) to three months' imprisonment in addition. Hardy's wife, whose countenance was shockingly con tused, said—l was in Shoreditch at half-past 11 last night, looking for my living, which is that of a prosti tute, as ray husband, who will not work, has refused to support me, and I am therefore obliged to support him in that manner, when he came up and told me to go with him. I did so, to his mother's, when he struck me with his fist, tore all my clothes, called me scanda lous names and then ag a i n d ea lt me a blow on one of my eyes. I ran home to get another bonnet, as he had crushed the first, and went into Hare-street, when I found him following me. I ran into a beer-shop to escape him, but he followed me in, dragged me out, and struck me again heavily upon my left eye, injuring it as it now appears. I have only been married to him two years, but he has beaten me in this way a great many times. Emery, 92 H.—Seeing the wife crying and running as fast as she could, with the prisoner close behind her, I stopped and took him, and she gave him in charge. On the road to the station he declared he would do for her, if he had to wait six months in prison to do it ; and this morning, on leaving the station, he declared to me that be would be revenged upon her. Sergeant Busaine—While just outside the court this morning I heard the prisoner threaten his wife, " If you send me to prison I'll do for you ; recollect there's more ways than one to do it." The prisoner stoutly denied all that his wife had stated, but Mr. Rammill sentenced him, like the first, t&be im prisoned in the House of Correction for six months, and kept to Lard labour, and, to insure protection to .the wife against further illusage, ordered him, in addition, to put in substantial'• sureties fan s L Awri,cur fOW a:> vt4e: taw of Wie 4J;004.
