Where there is such great dis tress, and such thorough moral prostration and debasement, the PI iesthood must necessarily have great power over the mass, and, there fore, a long time must elapse ere the population can be brought to appreciate and demand the full amount of their rights. Something, how ever, in the way of concession must be done im mediately, or the middle classes, who are begin ning to complain, will take the affair into their own hands; and as the mass of the people al though in a state of apathy favourable to des potism, when there is no strong current to op pose, could not be easily raised against those who desire their liberation and happiness, the Government would struggle in vain, and would be soon subdued. By gradual concession, however, it may ward off the blow, and retain sufficient power for those enjoyments which the many are compelled to provide for the few. Up to a late hour this morning no further in telligence had been received, either at the To reign-office or at the Portuguese Embassy, from Portugil. An arrival is hourly expected. Nothing has transpired officially respecting the rumoured intention of sending troops to Portugal. It is believed that there will be an expedition of this sort, but no arrangements have yet been made for it at the War Office. It is now said about the Government offices, that Parliament will not be prorogued before the first week in September. It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that Mr. MURRAY, the Member for Leith, triumphantly carried his motion for the repeal of that vain and fooli,h Act, the Foreign Enlist- ment Act. He is appointed to bring in the Bill for its repeal, in conjunction with Sir J. BYNG and Sir E. CODRINGTO.N. We refer our readers with pleasure to the important statements, last night made in the House of Commons by Mr. WALLACE of Greenock. It may be true, as was stated by Ministers, that some of them relate to a by gone system ; hut it is no less true, that the whole system of the Post-office wants thorough revision. It is monstrous that all the secrets of a man's family, or of his trade, should be ex posed, for the sake of an additional penny post age being obtained for the revenue. We trust that Mr. WALLACE will persevere till he has obtained a thorough reform in an establishment, which of all others should, in a free country, be watched with jealousy. At a late hour last night, the report of the Committee of the previous night, which had agreed to the resolution granting a million of money to the persons entitled to the arrears of tithes in Ireland, was brought up. After some discussion on the question that the report be read, the House divided, when there appeared —for the motion 34 ; against it, 15. The Bill was then ordered to be brought in by Mr. LITTLETON and Lord ALTHORP. Some such measure as this was perhaps necessary to the peace of Ireland ; hut the Bill must provide sa tisfactory means of repayment of the loan. As to the landlords of Ireland being able to resist payment, as the peasantry have done, the idea is absurd. The reason of the success of the pea santry is, that they have little or nothing to lose. The landlords have got something to lose, and even should they be knavish enough to desire to cheat the country out of the tithes, the sale of an estate or two would soon restore them to their senses. Stafford appears doomed at length to receive the reward of its long and shameful corruption. The motion of Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE to disfranchise it was opposed by Mr. CHETWYND as too violent a remedy for the disease, and he moved, as an amendment to it, that leave be given to bring in a Bill for preventing bribery and corruption in the election of its Members. Lord A LTHORP, however, having advocated the total disfranchisement of the borough, Mr. CHETWYND found himself obliged to withdraw his amendment. A Bill to disfranchise the borough was accordingly ordered to he brought in by Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, Mr. ORD, and Mr. MACLEOD. It is vain to deny that Stafford has for years been a sink of corruption—that its few honest and inde pendent voters have not always been over borne by the bribed majority ; but the disfranchisement of a whole community is a serious step, only to be justified as the sole remedy for the evil. The question is, whether remedies do not exist which have not been tried, and which would in all probability prevent the recurrence of corruption ? We think that there do, and we shall think the Legislature guilty of a monstrous stretch of power if it do not try them before resorting to the infliction of con stitutional death upon the county town of one of the most important and populous of our coun ties. This is not a case like that of the Liver pool freemen. The Liverpool freemen might, as a body, he disfranchised without injustice to any party. Not tally their unborn de scendants, perfectly innocent, of course, of their fathers' crime, but themselves, might rise to a station in which they could exercise their franchise in an independent manner. No such grace is shown to the Stafford electors, for not only are they to be deprived of the elective franchise, but their children for ever. Stafford may, in the next generation, maintain its rank as a county town, or it may double its present population, but in consequence of the barefaced conduct of the pr e s ent cotrupt c onstituency, it will not be in the en j oyment of privileges to which its character, as well as magni:nde may then entitle it. The question is, whether we cannot avoid the commission of this injustice, and put a stop to future bribery. We think that there is a means left by which both these objects might be accotrplished. We allude to vote by ballot. Let Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE and his friends, whose only object of course is to secure a pure constituency, try this remedy before taking the extreme step they now propose. The most strenuo us op ponent of th e b a ll o t can not with consistency object to t h e course we s uggest. It will be expe r i men t urn i n cor p or e v i i i , and cannot possibly be attended with any of the mischiefs they constantly predicate of the hallo!. That the constituency is as bad as it can be, is the very ground upon which disfranchisement is proposed ; so that it the experiment be attended with any result at all, it must be beneficial. What we would advise the Stafford voters to do—we mean that portion of them who have reprobated the past conduct of the borough—is, during the vacation, to get up a strong petition to the House of Commons in favour of making trial of the vote by ballot. This would be the means of drawing over to their side all sincere Reformers, who, as the matter stands, feel reluctantly com pelled to involve them in the punishment of the guilty. There appears to be a complete misunderstand ing on the part of most of our Contemporaries relative to the late disgraceful job in the Sta tionary-office. Two or three Members of Par liament (and they have been backed up by some of the Morning Journals) imputed the whole blame to the Comptroller, and asked why he did not object to the appointment of a person under age to the office of store-keeper. One of the Journals even goes so far as to insinuate a collusion between him and Sir JOHN KEY for mercenary purposes. Both the imputation and insinuation are equally groundless. The report of the Committee will soon clear up the mys tery, and place the blame on the right shoulders. The Comptroller was appointed by a Tory Go vernment, and is said to be a racy Tory himself, though we have no knowledge of the fact ; but these, surely, are no reasons why liberal journals should not only deny him justice, but charge him with guilty connivance at fraud and delusion. So far from conniving at the ap pointment of Mr. KEY, we believe he protested against it from the beginning, partly on account of inexperience, and partly because a person under age could not enter into the bond re quired by the Treasury regulations; and during the two or three weeks that the young man was at the office, he was not allowed to inter fere in any way, or even give his opinion on the quantity or quality of the paper furnished by the contractors. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER gave notice last night in the House of Lords, that early in the next session he should trove for the abolition of the privilege of voting by proxy. This privilege is one of the many blessings that we owe to the " wisdom of our an cestors." It is a fine sample of the legislative sagacity of the "good old times," when the many, like the beasts of the field, were reared only to contribute to the advantage of the few. It assumes the startling fact, that our hereditary legislators are, of necessity, so omniscient, so prone to suck in wisdom with their mo ther's milk, that there is not the slightest occasion for them to hear and deliberate before they decide upon a question—even though that question may be a matter of life or death to the national interests! Your vulgar plebeian, whose mind is as narrow as the neck of a claret bottle, must pause, meditate, weigh motives, examine arguments, and sift conflicting evidence, before he ventures to make up his mind on any public question ; but your lofty, intellectual patrician, who is wise by right of rank, and patriotic by virtue of his pedigree, need impose on him self no such painful restraints. He cannot possibly come to a wrong conclusion, or give a vote against the interests of common sense and the country. He is well born, therefore he must be well informed. He is a Peer, therefore he must be a patriot. Never was there a more logical sequitur. Oh, the advantages of a title ! It can work more magic changes than even the wand of harlequin. It can convert brass into gold—folly into wisdom—selfishness into patriotism. Who would not be a Peer, when together with his coronet he assumed also the attributes of omniscience ? But, alas, the dazzling halo which once sur rounded rank, is fast fading " into the light of common day." The Peerage has fallen on evil times. The scales have dropped from people's eyes, and they can now see matters clearly. They have come to the conviction that hereditary rank has no connection with hereditary wisdom ; that the aristocrat of a hundred sires may very easily be a sample of supreme stolidity, and the plebeian of yesterday a model of sterling sagacity. When such opinions are generally prevalent, it is fair to conclude that such an aristocratic privilege as vote by proxy must be in the agonies of dissolution. As nothing can justify this absurd privilege, so nothing that we know of, can prevent its abolition. What can be more monstrous—what more irreconcileable with that common sense on which Englishmen pride them selves, than that a thick-sculled lordling just es clped the birch of Eton, should be entitled to record his solemn vote on a great public question, of the merits and demerits of which he has not heard one single syllable, being at the time hundreds of miles away from the theatre of discussion ? Conceive the Most Noble the Mar quis of Mountebank, sending over his decision in favour of St. Andrew's Sunday Starvation Bid, from Paris, Vienna, or Constantinople ! How, you will ask, under such circumstances, could he come to a correct vote on the subject ? Why, by virtue of his being a Peer, which at once endowed him with omniscience ! Plrbeians may err ; patricians cannot. Folly's cap and bells fit only uncoronetted foreheads. If the vote by proxy be justifiable in the House of Lords, it is equally justifiable in the law courts. If Peers may decide upon a poli tical question without hearing a syllable of the matter, jurors may reasonably claim the same privilege in a legal question . The absurdity in the one instance is not a whit behind the absur dity in the other. A juror in a trim. con. may date his verdict from Vienna, with quite as much propriety as a Peer may send his vote against a Reform Bill from Paris. Indeed, the juror has the stronger claim on the pri vilege (supposing it right and fitting that it should exist at all) for he may allege that his decision, when detective, can injure only the parties concerned ; while none can deny that the Peer's blunder may be the means of inflicting a mortal wound on the interests of a kingdom. The one commits a public, the other, only a private wrong. The vote by proxy will not, we suspect, out live next session. It will die by the visits ion of common sense somewhere about the middle of the spring, and though all the Tory Peerage will go into deep mourning on the occasion—though E 1.,D0N will shed tears of anguish—NEW CASTLE stre ,v sackcloth and ashes on his head— and the pensive gen i us o f E LLENBOROUGH g i ve vent to its tribulation in the Morning Post— yet the country, like Irishmen at a wake, will eat, drink, and make merry at the funeral. - - A gentleman who married a lackadaisical young lady, was visited by an old friend.

M PE RIA_L PARLIAMENT THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7. HOUSE OF CO.VIMONS. At a quarter past twelve, when the gallery was opened we found about 25 Members in the House. Colonel TORRENS preseneed a petition from Bolton, signed by 3,000 inhabitants, praying that the Rev. Robert Taylor, Mr. Carlisle. and other persons confined for , ffences involving religious opinions, might he released. He con curred in the prayer. Colonel EVANS said that he understood the Rev. Robert Taylor was already released, but that Mr. Carlile was still in confinement, because he refused to enter into personal security for the next ten years. The present incarceration of that individual was the second he had suffered for what be considered the proper maintenance of his religious opinions. Without going into that ques. tion, he (Colonel Evans) would observe that the first sentence the prisoner bad received was for three years, at the expiration of which he refused to enter into per. sonal recognizances, and the Government of that day caused him to be kept in prison for another three years. He had now, by another sentence for three years, made up altogether a period of nine years' imprisonment—(Hear, hear)—and he could not now obtain his liberty, b.scause he could not conscientiously enter into recognizances, as that would be admitting an error which, he contended, did not exist. Another ground of objection was the alleged illegality of his con viction, as he stated that the late Recorder of London, b.fore whom he was tried, had tampered with the jury. It was a fact that one of the jurymen declared he had been obliged to yield his assent to the verdict by sheer fatigue and weariness. The Hon. and Gallant Member put it to the Government. whether the periods of imprisonment this man had suffered were not altogether unreasonabl.., and expressed his earnest hope that his MajAsty's Govern ment would order the release of the prisoner. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE said he could not see that the man had anything of which to comp] ►in. He had outraged the feelings of society, and it was only just that he should he prevented from the continuing of such conduct. It di l not sry much for the religion of the country from whenc. the petition came (Lane shire) that out of 1.300,000 inhabitants, only 200.000 received religious education ; and it was a mistake to say, as was too fres qnently said, thit any religious opinions might be ewer tained in America s as blasphemy was punishable there as here. Mr. SINCLAIR thought that prosecutions of this kind only tended to propagate erroneous religious opinions, and to increase the number of proselytes. Mr. CORBETT begged to remind the Howe that Car lisle was not in prison on account "(any religious opinions, hut for publishing a pamphl-t relative to the incendiary fires, and that every person censured the sentence which had been passed upon him. Ttiat pamphlet which would, nut have been thought worthy o! not re at any other time, was wholly insignificant, not above 250 copies having been published. The prosecution was not conducted by the Government, but by one of those busy, medding societies in the City of London which ought not to have troubled itself about the matt. r. As to the religious toleration in the United States, we should not lo.tk to them for religious toleration, for when he was there I,s' a man was in gaol at New Jersey simply for being a Unitarian. With regard to the people of Lancashire, he believed them to be as reli gious as in any other part of the kingdom. At all events, 20 new churches had been built there, and there were plenty cf m-eting houses. The Honourable Mem ber (Mr. Johnstone), had not done justice to the people of Lancashire, for they were not only fully as religious as the people of any other part of the country, hut they were religious enough. Mr. JOHNSTONE explained that he merely went by the public papers, that out of a population of 1,300.000 in Lancashire, only 200,000 had the bentfit of reli g ious instruction. Colonel TORRENS bore testimony to the religious dis position of the inh ibirants of Lancashire, and stared that there were a great twiny Sunday schools in that county. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL thought he could ex plain the statement of the Hon. Member fur St. Andrews (Mr. Jo' , nitwits). In L incashire there were a great many Catholics, and the Hon. Member, he believed, did not in clude those persons as Christians.—(Laughter. ) Mr. JOHNSTONE begged in as strong language as the usages of Parliament showed, to deny that he ever in tended to make such a religious distinction as that alluded to by the H.in. and Learned Gentleman. Mr. R POTTER said the Hon. and Learned Solicitor- General had mistaken the sect which the Hon. Member for St. Andrews said were not Christians; the Unitarians were the sect which that Hun. Gentleman said were not Christians. He could tell him that there were in Lan cashire many thousands of that persuasion. The circum stance m-ntioned by the Hen. Member for Oldham of a person having been put in prison for professing Unitarian principles, was another proof that persecution generally pro duced an opposite effect to what the persecutors intended ; for he could also tell the Hon. Gentleman that the spread of Unitarian opinions in America had been most rapid. There was now hardly a town in that vast country in which there was not a Unitarian Chapel—in the larger towns two—and in the town of Boston, no less than sixteen congregations professing Unitarian belief. So much for the effect of religious persecution. Sir E. CODRINGTON presented a petition from Gloucestershire, in favour of a Local Courts Bill. The GALLANT ADMIRAL gave notice, th it next session of Parliament he would move that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would be gra- ciously pleased to take into consideration the claims of the poor seamen who had been engaged in the battle of Navarino. POST-OFFICE. Mr. LYALL presented a petiti , in from the merchants, brokers, and others in the city of London engaged in the American trade, praying that an Act might be passed to regulate the Post-office revenue, and to leave parties at liberty to send their letters for foreign parts to the out_ ports of this country, by whatever means they might think proper, without any control or interference on the part of the Postmaster-General. The petitioners had been in the habit of sending their letters for Ame ica, since 1814, to Liverpool, for instance,hy the most convenient con veyances to he sent by the earliest despatch ; that had gone on until the Postmaster-General had interfered and threatened prosecutions if it were longer persisted in, requiring that the letters should be transmitted through the Post-office. Every person in business most he aware how importa•it it was fur merchants to have their letters at the nutports by given periods, as no one could stay the wind and tides. The Post-office could not insure the earliest and most certain despatch, and it might be most important that in dividuals miAt he at liberty to embrace the oppor tunity of sending off their letters early in the morning in stead of waiting till the evening. N t doubt by granting what the petitioners now asked for a little postage re venue would he lost, hut surely the postage of two or three thousand letters ought not to he put in competition with the interests of this great cammercial country. H 0 (Mr. L.) had had an interview with the petitioners, and with the Postm ester General, and he found that his Grace was disposed to rendcc every facility to the petitioners in his power, but the petitioners were decidedly of opinion that he could not afford them the required facilities with out an alteration being made in the law as it now stood. S r J. GRAHAM wished that some person more in timately connected with the post-office than himself had b.en present to give an explanation. The Hon. man had done bnt justice to the Noble Postmaster in saying he was desirous of affording every facility in his power to the transmission of letters by merchants here to their foreign correspondents ; but there was nothing more unpleasant than that an executive officer should be charged with a discretionary power. It was very well known that it was a great annoyance to he put to the trouble of an swering letters—it was equ illy well known that it was a greater annoyance to be put to the trouble of paying the postage of thetn—(Latighter)_and the anxiety shown to get franks pretty clearly proved how desirous persons were that their friends should not be put to the latter 111111 yance. On the other hand, it was the duty of the Postmaster to take care that all the revenue that ought fatly to conic from the transmissi on of letters should be obtained.— (Hear, hear.) The mode of transmitting ship letters to the outports, adverted to by the Hon. Member, who bad presented this petition had gone on until a most glaring abuse bad been de , ected. An irregular Post office had been established at a Coffee-house without the knowledge of the General Postmaster for the con venience of persons sending to their foreign corres pondents; that Post.office actually charged the inland postage upon the letters so transmitted; and even that practice might have gone on to this day, but it was found that the bag belonging to that Post-A - toe actually con tained letters for person s merely residing at the outpnrts, and thereby a direct fraud was committed on the revenue. Upon this discovery taking place, it was impossible that the practice could be permitted to go on. Mr. LYALL was not instructed, nor did he mean to bring any eh age against the Postmaster. General. Sir J. GRAHAM assured the Hon. Gentleman that any communication that could be made, of any feasible arr eigement by the petitioners, would he listened to by tl Noble Postm a st er w i t h t h e greatest attention, an d receiveie his best consideration. Mr. HAWES mentioned an instance in which a letter lag had arrived in Liverpool several hoot= before the racket sailed, awl yet, from the neglect or w•mt of zieneo, n the part of the Post-office agent, was left for do next packet. He also stated that the made of deliverint letters at the Liverpool Post-office to the clerks of 111,1'- 0111 rue, was determined by a species of interested fa vouriism. Mr. CLAY urged the necess'ty of hiving the inter course of this country with America at unrestricted as possible. Mr. WALLACE expressed his fear that nothing effec tive could b e done, until the 101 statwes now in existene+ for the management of Post office affair= were consolidated. Toe petition was then ordered to be laid on the table. Mr. LYALL presented a petition front the merchants and others in the City of London, praying that the scavaer and package dues leviable in the port of London might la repealed. The Hon. Member went into statements show ing the oppressive nature of these charges, and their in jurious tendency on the trade of the port of London, it, wh;ch they were alone made. Mt. H. PARKER presented a petition from the hundred of Costord against the English Tithe Commuta tion Bill. Also a petition from Long Wittenbam, Berke, against the Beer Bill. Mr. SINCLAIR presented a petition from the Mem hers of the provincial Synod of Su , herland and Caithnes• against the Government system of education for Irelatri. Also petitions from the ministers and elders of the Presby tery of Glasgow, and from the heritors of Brechin, aphis , he church patronaze of the Church of Scotland. Sir H. PARNELL presented a petition from the weavers of Brechin, praying that they might be paid hs the web in place of by the ell. THE ST. MARTIN S VESTRY.-GROSS 'MIS APPLICATION OF THE PAROCHIAL FUNDS. Colonel EVANS presented a petition from the inhabi. tants of St. Mar , in's in the Fields, in favour of the Paris Vestry Act. The petitioners complained that nine indi. viduals, with a salary of 150/. a year, appointed thei , successors in office as overseers and churhwardens, and raised and distributed the sum of 50,0001. in poors' rates, one halfof which, it was ascertained, they expended annually in banqueting, and other improper expenses not concerns with the support of the poor. About three Sundays back an entertainment was given to them anti their families. out of the parochial funds, which cost 6S/.—( Hear, heir.) They were not content with a good dinner aro , wine, it seemed, but they must also have music an , profession!! singers from the Opera.—(Hear, bear, and laughter.) The Hon. and Gallant Member depre sated strongly so gross a misapplication of the p►tochi.t funds, and called upon the Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer to repeal that part of Sir John Hobhnuse's or Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, which hound the majority in numbers of the inhabitants of a parish by the will of the minority, in consequence of the superior influence of their property. It was the duty of the Noble Lot d to to something, to put an end to such atrocious and gross mismanagement and misapplication of the parochial funds —( Hear, hear.) Lo,d ALTHORP said he had voted for Sir J. Hob hous,'s Bill, but gave no anstv,r to the latter part of the appeal of the Hon. and Gallant Colonel. Colonel EVANS then preserved two petitions from R. Cathie and two other persons, praying for their iris charge from prison, in which they had been confined fin the expre-sion of their opinions on religious subjects. Mr. CLAY presented several petitions from Fulham, and from All Saints, Poplar, and other parishes in the eastern vat of the metropolis, in favour of the introduc tion of pier laws into Ireland. The Hon. Member sup ported the prayer of the petitioners. Mr. Sergeant PERRIN expressed his gratification at the manner in which the subject of those petitions had been t iken up by the population of England. Whatever daub there might exist as to the best plan of poor laws for Iceland, there could be none as to the immediate and pressing neces ofsome enactment to provide sustenence fur the poor of that country. If, in the ensuing session, no Member of more weight and consequence than himself should be found to take up the subject, or if his Majesty's Ministers refrained from bringing it before Parliament, be should himself undertake that task. Mr. CLAY then presented a petition from Wm. Crush, late a licenced victu filer in Whitechurch, complainin.; of not being able to obtain a licence, in consequence of undue iufluence being exercised against him. Mr. COBBET r asked the NoWe Lord opposite if it was his intention to make any alteration in the Beer Laws during the present session ? Lord ALTHORP—Yea. Mr. COBBETT made several comments on the evi dence given below the Committee appointed by the House fir the purpose of inquiring gerieraliy into the present system of beer laws, among which he stated that Mi. Simeon, a magistrate from the county of Oxford, who came before the Committee well prepared to give evi dna., h.d ascertained by queries sent to farmers residing in different parts of the country, in fourteen cases out of fifteen, that they were of opinion that the only radical cure for the evils of beer shops and public house+, would be the repeal of the malt tax. This was also Mr. Si. meun's opinion, and in that opinion he (Mr. C.) concurred mist beau tily. Sir C. BURRELL said he was sure that the Magis trate+ had no desire to have the power given to them of iieensing houses. He was of opinion, that if the Govern ment could consistently with the state of the revenue take the duty off malt, it would be the greatest boon thi y could confer upon the country—far greater than the re duction of the assessed or any other taxes. Mr. C. BULLER said, if the Noble Lord (Althorp) persisted in bringing forward such an important measure is the Beer Bill at this late period of the session, it woulo be better to have a call of the House, when the Nable Lord would find much more opposition to it than he pro. bably expected. Lord AL I'HORP said it would be better to wait until the Hon. Member siw the Bill—(Herr, hear)—when lie would most likely find not so much opposition to it as he supposed there would be. After a few observations from Mr. CLAY and Mr. Runt YEN, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. R. CAVENDISH presences petiti ins from three parishes in Sussex, two of which were against the tithe system, and the other in favour of Church Reform. THE POLICE SYS FEM. Mr. CORBE I T pr. seated two petitions, one fi•om the National Political Union of Newcastle •on-Tyne, and the other from Nottingham, azainst the sys.em of police adopted in the metropolis ; the Hon Member read a portion of the first petition ; it stated their abhorrence at the conduct of Popay; who was a member of that novel and unconati tutionasi force calle f the New Polk-, the members of which were employed as spies, as instigators of mischill, as ensnaritu, netrayine., and coercing the people. In those opinions, and in th it description, he most cordially concurred, and the whole of it bad been proved to fie correct by the evidence taken before tne Committee, whose report was presented Let night. He did not approve of that report, and so he told the rest. of the Committee, and he told them also that he should say so in the House ; it fell so far short of what he approved of, and of what he felt due to the petitioners, to the House, and the coutury, that he could never give his consent to it. He knew when he first presented the petition not a Member of the House could have 'ielieved the facts stated in it were true.—( Hear.) The petition divided itself into eighteen different allega tions, every one of which had b-en distinctly substantiated. The witnesses, without exception, proved themselves to he men of good characte' ; and after the in lulgence of a fortnight given to Government and the C immissioners, nothing coun be brought forward in any way to impeach their character or testimony. They had before them the most infamous spy ever employed by any Government in the world, and he was proved to be guilty of the grossest prevarication and barefaced falsehood. The Superintendent also had been fund guilty of equal prevaiica ion, and he must be taken notice of by the House. They had traced the money into the hands tif the spy, from the Secretary of State himself, and the only apology they received was that it had not come out of the parish money, but from the Home-office, out of that secret service mom): which that House voted every year. They had fixed the same prevarica. tion, though not to the same extent, on the Commissioners themselves ; and he (Mr. Cubbett) did not see how the House could refuse calling them to the bar. Government had been clearly convicted of encouraging and supporting a notorious system of espionage. They said the word was unknown to our I inguage, but happy would it be if the thing itself were unknown to our Government. What then was to he done ?—( Hear, hear.) The House must either say that the spy system was proper, and that gentleman could nut eo on without it, or they must put a stop to it at once and for ever. He h id in his possession the reports of the spies which had been sent to the Secretary of State and sinned by him, and which were produced before the Committee. He (Mr. Clibet) had taken copies of them, and when Hot. Members came to look at the minutes of evidence they would be as astonished at he was. If the system was not put an end to, Govern ment would le come irretrieva.aly the detestation of the people. The Hon. Member tl.en presented another petition from the 'own of Nottingham to the same effect. Lord W. LENNOX thought the Hon. Member for Oldham had not acted fairly towar,is the House in giving parbled and exaggerated statements of the evidence given on the Committee. With every respect for the Hon. Member's talents, he mould not think be could in five kites give the pith of the evidence. When die evi h v,t).Nt ,‘t tit- c•••:- Ito a the police. la th, meantime, he (L -rd TiViatu Lennox) would only say that he ilislwelieved •htemenis c.f the Hon. Gentleman. and that he had n rom-olttee heard the evidence of the good conduct of the police. Mr. said that at the time this re. r port was agreed upon, some conversation tool: place respecting the propriety of raising a di.eus. .ion upon its being brought up to the How., and t‘!at the Committee were decidedly of opinion that such a liscussi , .n would be extrem ly unfair. For his own part, e thought the better way would be that nothing more 4%nuld he said upon it, as whatever was said was cal. •tilate.l only to produce an inconvenience and mis. which nothing could counteract.—(Hear.) B-fore .itting down, however, he would say that the Hen. ',entlemin had taken away the police reports which had een furnished to the Government, and by the Gsvern. nent to the Committee. without any right in him so to I and of which he had kept posaession for at leant wo dayr. Mr. COBBETT said, with respect to those police reports, hey were the reports of the spies, and it was the duty of the Members of the Committee to put themselves in pes , es. eon of their contents. The day after they had been laid hefore the Committee, he inquired of the Han. Alderman vho filled the Chair, what had become of them, who replied, that they were at his house, and that he had read hrough a great part of them during the previous night, le (Mr. ('.) then said to the II an. Alderman, " W II Wo d, suppose I sit up, and read a good part of them, -nags t?" He got them, and did read a good part of them that night. On bringing them bark to the Coin eittee, he intended, if possible, to read them through, and remained in the room after the Con • nitt,e bad all dispersed, perusing tho.e reports, Hr. Witham, the Clerk, preferring his (Mr. C.'s) mom to his presence, told him they would not be wanted again till Monday, and that he had better take them home with aim, where he could read them more conveniently. He lid so, and brought them back to the Committee on the 11.mday, having in the interim read every s)1131.1e. An Hon. MEMBER rose to order, and submitted that these observations could not be considered to fall within the Hon. Gmtleman's reply. The SPEAKER considered that they were within the r ply, and even if they were not, the statements were of the greatest importance. After the candid manner in whit!, he Hon. Gentleman expressed himself, there could be eo doubt that both he and the Hon. Chairman had acted inter the purest, although the greatest misapprehension,. be !ause it was impossible to suppose that any Me bet of Committee had a right to take away with him the pri ate 0411., that were laid before any Committee appointed by that House. Nr. O. MOSLEY presented a petition from Eccle 411all, in the county of Stafford, against the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill, and praying that they may be joined with the borough of Stafford in returning Members to Parliament. Mr. O'DWYER hoped the House would take care, if the borough of Stiffold were to be allowed to return Umbers to Parliament, all the voters whose names were appended to the report as having accepted bribes would 1 ) e prevented from ever exercising their franchise again. Mr. CHETWYND admitted the corrupt practices ,f some persons at Stafford, but that was no rea von why the innocent should be confounded with the guilty. _ Air. RUTHVEN was in favour of disfranchising the o igh altogether. Mr. N. CALVERT repreeent d the borough of Stafford f 23 years, and during that period be never heard of aoy eJrrup , ion being practised there. Several ()thei. 'petitions were then presented, and the Speaker left the Chair. CITY ELECTION.-(THIS DAY.) An advertisement, with the above heading, appeared in the papers of yesterday, calling a public meeting r•f electors of London, for the purpose of inviting someii vial candidate to Stand in the place of Sir John Key, amd to pledge them to his support. At one o'clock (the time appointed) we attended, and , ound the ball-room at the London Tavern prepared, and 'hoot 30 persons assembled. Between that and two i'clock there were about f.om 90 to 100 altogether, going out and in. Near that time a gentleman mounted the platform, and moved that J. IVA, El., be called to the chair, which was seconded and carried unanimously ; but llr. Bislo (who hat just then been in the room) was no where to be found. After another quarter of an hour's waiting, and there being no appearance of a Committee, or any managing per-on, Mr. BRASHER rose and said, he had attended to assist in the proceedings, but as it was then more than an hour past the specified time, he would move that the meeting do then adjourn The meti•'n was put and carried amidst murh laughter. W e could find no ane to tell us who were the originatm a of the affair which was PO badly sarrang-d. THE MARIE FS.-(THIS DAY.) COHN ExCHANGE.
