were foreigners, were at issue, knowing too that the counsel on both sides were not prepared with authorities upon the point—under these circums•auces he hoped that the Right Hon. Baronet would advise that these unfortunate men should have the benefit of these appeals. Sir J. GRAHAM said the question put by the Hon. and Learned Member was one of the highest importance. He had heard the particulars of the case, and after giving the matter every consideration he had communi cated with the learned judge who had presided over those trials, and he had consented to reserve the point. NEW ZEALAND. Mr. P. HOWARD wished to ask the First Lard of the Treasury whether he was prepared to state if any, and what, arrang-ments had been come to with the New Zealand Company, as it was important that the House and the country should have every information Dn the subject? Mr. G. W. HOPE said that he had to inform the Hon. Gentleman opposite that a suggestion had been made by the New Zealand Company to the department of Government in which he had the honour to serve, and he had had an interview with a deputatioq from that Comp Any. Communications were still passing- be tvveeii them. SOUTH-EASTERN AND DOVER dbMPANIES— ;o:CIDF,'NTs. Lord PALNIERSTO,N said that he had bed a commu nication with the Directors of the S aith Eastern and Dover Companies, and they stated that the ~uric of the late accidents was that the engines were to. weak for the work required fr ,, m them, and that the -übject had been fully considered by the Boord of Directors. They assured hint that there was no mistake in the quality of the material, the mistake was in the calculation at the time the engines were made. They also stated that the party who were directors at the period he had alluded to, were not directors at that time ; and, they added, that, on the Ist of October last, when they found that the en gines were too weak, they gave fresh orders for engines of greater power. He did not, however, think that ex planation was sufficiently satisfactory. He thought that when they found out that the engines were weak, they ought to have proportioned the weight of the trains to their capacity, and instead of putting two weak engines to a heavy train, they ought to have lighter trains to the weak engines. According to their own explanation they did not do so. They stated that it was only on one part of the line where the inclination was very steep that they did put one engine before and another behind, and that the trains in these cases did not go at a greater rate than ten or twelve miles an hour. He was no engineer, and. therefore, would not presume to say that his:opinion was entitled to any value, but it appeared to bun that that pace was too great for public safety. He thought the two engines ought to he in front ; but if the one were to be in front, and the other behind, then, in his judgment, four miles were amply sufficient__ THE Czi.gE OF JOHN MAYES. Mr. TUFFNELL put a question to Sir James Graham respecting the imprisonment of one John Mayes, who had been tried before Lord Chief Justice Tindal at the Spring Assizes, and in whose favour the ,judge, sheriff, and others, had declared themselves. The Hon. Member was not distinctly audible in the galery. Sir J. GRAHAM said some delay had necessarily oc curred with resp:fet to this case, but the individual was only kept in prison until he opinion of the judge who tried him (Tinda!) was ascertained upon some documents which had been submitted to him. It was believed the party had not been guilty of the crime of which he was convicted. He had been originally sentenced to trans portation for 15 years, which had been commuted to seven years, and the sentence was ordered to stand over until facts, which had subsequently transpired, were in quired into. If the judge's opinion were favourable, he would feel great pleasure in recommending her Majesty to grant him a free par lon. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. MOFFATT asked when the new houses of Par liament would be finished. The noble lord opposite (Lord Lincoln) said in 1842, that they would be finished in 1846 ; but there was now no chance of such a cotn pletion.—Wonld they be finished in 1847 ? Lord LINCOLN said that Mr. Barry was doing his utmost to forward the building—that he could answer for. No great national building of the same magnitude had advanced so rapidly. Last summer some imputa tions were thrown upon Mr. Barry, which had an effect the reverse of what was intended, for it threw him into a state of nervous anxiety, from which he was ill for two months. He could only say that the Central Hall would not be ready in the session of 1847. The COll3- mittee-rooms of both houses would be ready by that session ; and it would be for the House to say whether it would be more advisable to complete the other parts with undue haste, or wait for another session. _ SPAFIELDS INTERMENT NUISANCE. In answer to a question from Lord EBRINGTON, Sir J. GRAHAM, who, as well as the noble lord, was heard but imperfectly, said that measures had been taken to abate the nuisance of the Spafields interment, and to prevent the recurrences of the revolting transac tions connected with that place. The House then proceeded to the orders of the day. BRAZIL AND BRITAIN. On the reading of the order of the day for bringing up the report on the Exchequer'Bills (.£9,024,900) Bill. Mr. M. GIBSON took the opportunity of pressing upon the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Govern ment the necessity of taking into consideration the pre sent position of British subjects resident in Brazil. It appeared, previous to the expiration of the treaty in 1844, they had the privilege of disposing of their pro perty by will, and also certain personal privileges, of which they were now deprived, although other foreigners possessed them. Thus the property of the British in that country was placed in great jeopardy. The Brazilian Governm,nt had also imposed a differential duty of 20 and 30 per cent. on cotton goods, the manufacture of this country, over and above the duty upon other foreign manufactures. It was, however, intimated by the Brazilian Government, that the differential duties against us would be continued no longer than we continued to proscribe their sugars. On these grounds he did not think he would be warranted in allowing this oppor tunity to pass without endeavouring to impress this sub ject upon the attention of her Majesty's Government.— (Hear, hear.) .111 these unpleasant circumstances and ciitf , rences bad been owing to the unfortunate policy of the Government of this country in reference to Brazilian sugar.—(Hear.) He would not now say a word about slave-grown sugar, or the impolicy of the mode in which slave-grown sugar was admitted into this country kom Brazil ; but, in consequence of the mode in which that measure had been allowed to exist, and the monopoly of labourers exercised by the producers of slave-grown sugs.r, he would wish to ask whether any steps had been taken for the immigration of labourers into the interior of tie West Indie., in order to meet this alleged dearth of labour ? He had understood that a measure was in tended to be proposed by which to procure funds to carry on this immigration, He would say nothing now on the policy or impolicy of the other measures of the Govern men t on this subject ; but he trusted he might be allowed to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for the CiA.mies, whether any such loan bad been asked for or guaranteed ; and if not, whether any steps had been taken in refi rence to the dispatches laid upon the table of this House int reference to the subject.—(Hear.) Nlr. HOPE said the state of the case was simply this, that a loan ordinance had been proposed, by which to raise the means of defraying the expenses of the immi gration, and had not been objected to ; but at the same time other parties not connected with the Government had declared their intention of raising a fund for the purpo,e, independent of the loan ordinance. _ - Sir R. PEEL said, he stated at an early period of the sessi..n that pleniporentiaries had been appointed to ne priate a treaty with the Brazilian Government on this subject, with a view 0, conferring on British subjects all the privileges in re,pect to this question, which the sub jects of other nations possessed.—(Hear, hear.) The l as t 4ccoutits received from Brazil stated, that a change had taken place in the Brazilian Government, and that the Secretary of state had been removed from office ; but it would be seen from the report, that the Minister at the Court of Brazil had said nothing in reference to the Lion. Members question. WEST - MINSTER ABBEY. Mr. HL ME said he had delayed, until this late period of the ~ e ssion, asking the light Hon. Gentleman opposite, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any steps for discontinuing the fee now exacted from persons visiting Westminster Abbey ? (Hear.) He should say it was extremely discreditable to exact such fees, and it was the first thing complained of by all foreigners visiting the Abbey, on their return to their own country, knowing, as they did, that nothing of the sort was known on the Continent. The Hon. Member concluded by reading his motion, as follows, but did not press it :—" To call the attention of the House to the practice of exacting fees or receiving gratuities from the public as the conditions of their admittance to cathedrals and other public buildings ; and to move, that, in the opinion of this House, the practice of ex acting fees from the public as the conditions of their ad mittance to cathedrals is highly improper, and ought to be discontinued." . . Sir R. PEEL sail he had always expressed an opinion in favour of free admission to all the public institutions of this country, in so far as was consistent with the safety of the works of arts, for he conceived that nothing exercised a more beneficial effect on the minds of the people than being permitted to have free admission to such places.—(Hear.) He should here add that no thing could be more exemplary than the conduct of the working classes at those places, for instance, during their free admission to the cartoons at Westminster Ha l.—(Hear.) But then due caution was necessary to be exercised in order to guard against such occurrences as had taken place, in reference to the destruction of works or art, as in t'.e ease of the Portland vase. The Right Lion Baronet then read a letter, which he said he had received upon this subject, in which the writer stated that measures had already been taken whereby to effect a change in the charge now made for the ad mittance of stratr.zers to Westminster Abbey. The substance of which was, that, in future, strangers were to be admitted to the nave, and the choir, and the north and south transepts, wi t h out any charge ' • in fact, there wa:, to be free admittanc e to all persons the body ' of the church.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WM. C )UPER said that it afforded him very great gratification to have heard th e statements of the Ei g ht Hon. Baronet, for he did conceive it was a great scandal to the church that such exaction should ever have been male ; aid he doubted very much whether the Dean and Chapter had ever any right to make any such charge.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that this change would prove to be but the forerunner of a total removal of the exaction of any fee whatever.—(Hear, hear.) Mr.WILLIAMS concurred with the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, and said that this was the only country in Europe in which the clergy exacted such charges. Mr. P. BORTHWICK quite agreed with the Right Honourable Baronet at the head of the Government, that it was better this thing should be carried out by the good will and concurrence of the clergy, than by compulsory enactment. Still he thought all those public buildings ought to be opened without any tax whatever. English men ought to be at home in their owa country, and not be met with charges continually whenever they went to examine any of the public monuments. It was not so on the continent, where all the cathedrals and public buildings were thrown open to the public without a tax. He condemned the practice of turning St. Paul's Ca thedra and Westminster Abbey into show-rooms. They ought, as had been originally intended, to be open at all hours of the day for religious purposes, when the public could be allowed to enter without money and without price. Mr. HUME said, that what the Right Honourable Gentleman had stated was quite satisfactory. TTe was sure that by carrying out such an arrangement as that spoken of, the greatest good would be realised. The report of the Exchequer-bills Bill was then agreed to. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—THE CASE OF any prospect of reward from the company—(Hear, ' hear)—that was expressly set forth in the report, and borne out by the evidence. It did not appear that the money paid to Mr. Benham was made at Mr. Wray's suggestion, but at that of a gentleman connected with the company. He had said that Mr. Wray was unknown to him, whereas Mr. Bonham was intimately and well known to him. He was still proud to call him his friend. —(Hear.) He committed a grave error—he acknow ledged that he committed a grave error. He could not offer to extenuate it. He (Sir J. Graham) regretted that he could not extenuate it, but still he said Mr. Bonham was his friend. The Hon. Gentleman said that Mr. Bonham was under obligations to Mr. Wray. The statement that the money paid to Mr. Bonham went to liquidate a debt owing by him to Mr. Wray had been refuted, and was without foundation. Mr. Wray's was only the hand that gave it to him. The evidence proved that Mr. Wray did not directly or indirectly receive any benefit from the money. It Elsgood, who was in at tendance on the Committee, had been examined, he would have proved that the money did not pass through Mr. Wray' private account. He called upon the muinhers of the Committee who were present to state, whether he dig not include, in the statement which he had male to the House, hip strong disapprobation of the conduct of Mr. Wray ? With respect to Mr. I lig nett, he distinctly stated that his conduct rendered him unfit to be employed as a servant of the Crown. Then with regard to Mr. Bonham and Captain Boldero, who had stated that they were of opinion that they had done nothing to impair their efficiency as members of the Ordnance ; but thinking that the public service would be impaired by their remaining in office, they tendered their resignations, which were accepted by the Govern ment. The report of the Committee stated that the con duct of Mr. Wray was deserving of serious animadver sion. —(Hear, hear.) He would state cordially the in formation he had received with respect to the proceed ings of the Committee. In the draft framed by the chairman, the words " deserving of serious animadver sion" did not stand alone, as there were added to them, and afterwards expunged, " that the attention of the Secretary of State be especially called to this subject." —(Hear, hear.) It those words had been inserted, they would certainly have called his attention to the subject more strongly than " serious animadversion." He thought it right to state that the suppression of that pa ragraph by the Committee materially affected his deci sion.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. Hignett had been ignomini ously dismissed. One Member of the House had re signed his office under painful circumstances to himself and to his friends. No dispassionate person could blame him for the course he had adopted ; but if he had erred, it was for the House to say. Mr. HAWES said as the paragraph in the report was originally framed, it stood thus—" That Mr. Wray's conduct deserved the immediate notice of the Secretary of State for the Home Department." Some objection was raised in the Committee to referring the subject to the Secretary of State, the general opinion being that it should be referred specially to the House, and, conse quently, the words " that his conduct deserves the notice of the Secretary of State" were expunged, and the words "serious animadversion" were inserted in their place. Mr. SHELL said it appeared from the statement of the Right lion. Gentleman that, with respect to the conduct of Mr. Wray, he did not come to his determina tion without. the utmost deliberation—at all events he was in communication with one of the Members of the Committee. He (Mr. Sheil) thought he mentioned the Noble Lord (Lord Ashley) whose name he found in the Committee. He understood he was the noble and dis dinguished person to whom he referred. He (Mr. Sheil) thought that it was rather extraordinary that he should not have consulted the Chair man himself on that point—in which he was the principal and original agent. The draft of the report was furnished by the Chairman of the Committee in the performance of his official functions as the head of the Committee. Would it not have been more regular, and more consistent with the duty of the Right Hon. Gentleman, to have sent for the Chairman instead of en tering into a communication with one individual Member of the Committee. At all events, it appeared that the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Home Depart ment did not write the letter in a hasty mood. Now, it was singular that the Hon. Gentleman should have omit ted from the letter addressed to Mr. Wray all mention of the moat material charge against that gentleman. The report of the Committee made a distinct specifica tion of that particular charge upon which the Hon. Gen tleman has expatiated.—(The Hon. Gentleman then read the resolution of the Committee, which stated that 3001. was paid to ell. Bonham, and that 100 shares were re served for him before the passing of the Bill, which were disposed of for his sole benefit, and paid to him by cheque as a gratuity for the services rendered to the South-Eastern Counties, both in and out of Par liament, as a Member of the Committee on their Bill.) He would now pass from one branch of the transaction to another, namely, to the letter of the Right Hon. Bart. What was the complaint made by the Right Hon. Bart.? Why, it was limited to what was not really the most serious part of the charge which the report of the Com mittee made against Mr. Wray. The Right Hon. Baro net only animadverted upon the charge, that Mr. Wray had been the paid servant of the company, while he was one of the paid servants of the Government ; but the Right Hon. Baronet spoke of his having canvassed men out of Parliament,—he did not say a word of the trans action which took place between them, and which was so minutely detailed in the report of the Committee,—so minutely indeed, that the whole evidence of Mr. Bonham upon the subject was transcribed and • cited at length. N,)%l' a general canvass of Members of Parliament was a very different thing from applying to a Member of a Committee to whom a Bill had been `feferred to support that Bill. Every clear minded man would see that it was something to canvass Members of Parliament in the lobby of the House, and an ther to canvass an individnal sitting as it were as kjitren; and solicit his sentiments upon the measure which had been referred to him in his judicial capacity. Now in the report of the Committee they had evidence coming from Mr. Bonham, and a statementgiven by Mr. Wray. Mr. Bonham stared that in the early part of the session of 1836, Mr. Wray, to whom he was under considerable obligations, and to whom he owed money, came to him and said he was very much interested in the success of the South-Eastern Railway, and he wished him to give it a lift, and wished his advice upon some points. He reviled that he was under considerable obligations to Mr. Wray, and should be glad to do anything to serve him, and the report added that Mr. Bonham regularly attended, and voted in the committee. Now, he thought everybody who read the evidence must admit that this was a case entirely dis tinct from that of simply canvassing members of Parlia ment. Mr. Wray said no conversation took place be tween him and Mr. Bonham as to the advantage the latter was to receive for "giving them a lift ;" but he admitted that afterwards Mr. Bonham received 3001. as a gratuity for his services in behalf of the company, both in and out of the doors of Parliament. Now, could the House, under these circumstances, be of opinion that the letter ad dressed to Mr. Wray by the Secretary of State for the Home Department was a sufficient reprimand upon Mr. Wray ? The committee was composed of men of all parties. and of high rank and station in that llonse, and they were unanimously of opinion that the conduct of Mr. Wray was deserving of serious animadversion. The Right Honourable Baronet, however, had omitted all mention of the most serious accusation against Mr. Wray, and he thought, in this respect, the Right Honourable Baronet had been guilty of some departure from his duty. Mr. W. PATTEN said, whatever might be his opinion upon the conduct of Mr. Wray he could not but lament . that the Hon. Member for Lambeth had felt it to be his duty to bring a motion forward upon this most painful subject, for the question could not be discussed without pointy being entered into which were painful not only to the House, but many individuals out of it. Upon two of those individuals a punishment had been inflicted quite commensurate with the nature of their offence ; and he should abstain as much as possible from saying anything upon the subject. Allusion had been made to Mr. Bonham, and perhaps he might be allowed to say a word or two with regard to another individual concerned in the matter, namely, Captain Boldero. He believed that the Committee concurred in stating that Captain Boldero's character remained perfectly unimpeached. The honour of Captain Boldero, they said, was unsullied and untouched, and he thought his resignation added still more to the honourable nature of his feelings.—(Loud cheers.) He was bound to say, as a Member of the Committee, that he had been taken by surprise by the Hon. Member's motion, and he thought, if the Committee were again called together, to consider this subject, they would not express themselves upon it in exactly the terms of the Honourable Gentle man the Member for Lambeth. The Committee, in his opinion, only intended that a serious animadversion should be passed upon the conduct of Mr. Wray ; and he thought the Right Hon. Baronet had placed a fair and proper construction upon their report.—(Hear, hear.) Under all the circumstances of the case, had the Right Hon. Baronet proceeded to dismiss Mr. Wray from his office, he would not go so far as to say it would have been gross injustice ; but the Right Hon. Baronet would have pursued a rigid course of justice towards him. He concluded by moving the previous question as an amendment. Colonel PEEL seconded the amendment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, the question before the House was whether the House should take any notice of the transactions in respect to which the Committee had laid their report upon the table, or whether the Hu o s e w s h ho u om l d o v e entirely he e it pre p v a i s o s us by. question, The had Hon. sa d Gen tlemanthat rtaheetesrusbojefeitndwiaysida ual p s a o in u f t ul or on d e o , or a s n ; d b i u n j o b lv e e ca d us t e he it eNtivaas a painful case were they altogether to abstain from ex pressing an opinion upon it ? It was a question upon which the House was bound to express an opinion, and it being a painful duty was no reason why they should shrink from the performance of a duty which the Con stitution had placed upon them. The Government complained of the Hon. Member for Lambeth having brought the question forward at this late period of the session, but he had postponed it with a view of suiting, not his own, but the convenience of the Government. When the report was laid upon the table, he asked his Hon. Friend whether he intended to take any notice of those transactions; and he replied that he thought it right to wait a week before he did so, to give the Government an opportunity to deliberate and decide upon the course they intended to pursue.--(Hear, hear.) It was rather hard, therefore, for the Government to complain of the delay which his Hon. Friend had allowed to take place before bringing the question before the House. The Right Hon. Baronet had said that he acted upon the re port of the Committee, and had carried into effect what he understood to be their intention. But he (Lord John Russell) had never heard of a case in which the Com mittee did more than report the evidence adduced before them, and their opinions as to the charges referred to them. He had never heard of a Committee specifying the punishment to be inflicted, or the course which the House ought to take in any particular caw, A a f or instance, in THE S UN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORN ING, AUGUST 5 1845. the case of Sir Jonah Barrington, whose case was much graver than the one now under the consideration of the House, the Committee in that case did not lay . down what was to be the penalty. They stated no more than that he had been guilty of a grave offence in appropri ating to his own use money paid into his court. But they never attempted to indicate the course which the House or the Government was to take in that case. Both Houses of Parliament considered of themselves what was the course, and they addressed the Crown to dismiss Sir Jonah Barrington from his office. The Right Honourable Baronet was in error, also, when he applied to members of the Committee for their individual opinions. If he thought it necessary to ask any one's opinion, it should have been the chairman of the Com mittee.—( Hear, hear.) He (Lord J. Russell) thought that his Honourable Friend (Mr. Hawes) was justified in bringing before the House this grave case which could not be passed over without injury to the character of the House.--(Hear.) The offence was that of offering a bribe of £3OO to a member of that House for services rendered to particular persons in his capacity of Member. What was the punishment inflicted on him by her Majeety's Government ? It was to inform Mr. Wray that he had done something which was in compatible with the efficient discharge of his duties in his office under the Government.—(Hear, hear.) It was much the same as if the Right Hon. Baronet reproved a messenger in the Home-office, that he could not attend to his duty in that office, if he employed his time in running about to distribute bribes to parliamentary olectors.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet said that Mr. Bonham had not been bribed—that it had never been said to him that he was to receive money for his vote. But if the House looked hack to what had been done in the reigns of William 3rd and George the Ist —in those reigns it was declared to be bribery to give any gratuity to any elector after the election, whe ther it could be shown that he had voted in the expec tation of such a gratuity or eiot. Would the House, in the present day admit, or allow it to be inferred, that they were less pure, and less sensitive as to the evils of the bribery of their members, than their predecessors in the reigns to which he referred, and in which two Acts were pa-7sed to prevent the offer of any gratuity to mem bers?—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord then read the evidence of Wray before the Select Committee, from which he contended that Wray admitted that the sum of £3OO was given to Mr. Bonham for the assistance which he had ren dered to the Company by his services in Parliament. —(Hear, hear.) If such bribery were passed over, how could they condemn to a prison the poor hand-loom weaver, the cobbler, and the daily labourer, for accepting bribes, to which he was almost driven by the necessities of his family ?—(Hear, hear.) Would it not be a gross injustice to punish such persons when a gentleman of high station, a Member of that House, was allowed to receive 3001. upon his vote, and the person who offered it escaped with a mere reprimand.—(Hear, hear.) Taking that view of the case, nothing should binder him (Lord J. Russell) from giving his vote to maintain the purity of the House as muc as he could.—(Cheers.) The Bight Hon. Baronet said that the offence of Mr. Wray had been committed so long ago as 1836. But, looking to the case of Sir Jonah Barrington, he found that the subject was brought before Parliament and inquired into, and that addresses were pre sented to the Crown for his dismissal from office. in 1829—the offence having been committed 25 years before, that is in 1804 or 1805.—(Hear, hear.) But the Right Hon. Baronet further said that the proposition of his Hon. Friend would be a vote of censure upon him (Sir J. Graham). He could not admit that the House should not preserve its purity, because it might imply a vote of censure upon the Secretary of State.—(Hear.) It was not attempted to be implied in the motion of his Hon. Friend, that the Secretary of State was at all involved in the objectionable transaction.--(Hear, hear.) But only that his reprehension of the offending person was not sufficient to vindicate the purity of the House. (Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet complained of the late period of the session when this motion was brought forward, and said it should have been made ten days ago ; when, in point of fact, the motion e as delayed out of forbearance to the Government.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet said that he had acted from motives of lenity. That had not always been the ruling motive of the Right Hon. Baronet in the discharge of his duty. He had not been lenient to those foreigners whom he accused of being suborners of assassination, and whose innocence was admitted by his Right Hon. Friend four teen months afterwards.—(Hear, hear.) With - respect to Captain Boldero. he (Lord John Russell) did not think that he was not guilty of any criminality, but that he was the least culpable of the three--(Hear, hear)—and he thought that the vindication of the purity of the House required him to give his support to the motion of his Hon. Friend.—(Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL said that the Noble Lord had en tirely mistaken the purport and intent of his Right Hon. Friend, in complaining of the introduction of this motion at so late a period of the session. What his Right Hon. Friend complained of was that the letter to Mr. Wray was laid before the House on the 22d of July, and notice of this motion was not given until the Ist of August.—(Hear, hear.) Whereas the notice ought to have been given on the day when the Secretary of State announced to the House whet he had done.—(Hear, hear.) The Government had not shrunk frcrn the pain of accepting the resignation of Captain Boldero and Mr. Bonham, who were the personal and political friends of hts RightHon.Friend and himfelf.--(Ministerial cheers.) He did say, that having had occasion, in his public ca pacity, to perform many painful acts, yet it never had fallen to his lot to have acted a more painful part to his private feelings, than when he bad advised the Queen to accept that resignation —(Hear, hear.) With respect to Mr. Bonham, he (Sir Robert Peel) had long been upon terms of private friendship with him, and when that Hon. Member was labouring under the in fliction consequent on his removal from the public ser vice, yet he would say, that his friendship for him remained the same.—(Hear, hear.) And with respect to Captain Boldero, though he was not upon the same terms of private intercourse with him that he was with Mr. Bonham, yet when he advised the Queen to accept his resignation also, he did feel a considerable degree of pain ; and this he would say further, of that Hon. Gen tleman, that in the whole range of the public service he did not believe there was a man who had discharged his duties with greater industry, integrity, or fidelity.— (Hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) knew all the difficulties of his position, yet he would appeal to his Hon. Friend, and ask him if he ever knew a man who had discharged the duties of his office with greater satisfaction.—(Hear-) With respect to Captain Boldero, again, he (Sir R. Peel) would ask why had he tendered his resignation ? Not because he felt he could be accused of any breach of official duty, or that his official conduct could be questioned ; but he tendered it in that spirit which he felt should actuate him, having seen the report of the Committee.—(Hear, hear) But even under these cir cumstances he (Sir R. Peel) would have no hesitation in saying that no feelings of private pain would have de terred him from the performance of his public duty. — (Hear.) He did think, then, that he had shown through out the whole *f this affair, in the acceptance of the re- - signation of these two gentlemen, a desire to set an ex ample, and protect the public.—(Hear, hear.) But the Noble Lord said that the House should not be deterred from passing this resolution ; now, he (Sir. R. Peel) begged to assure the House that his Hon. Friend did not seek any exemption from any punishment his conduct in this affeir7might merit.—(Hear, hear.) But let him ask, did his Hon. Friend'slconduct deserve censure? for that was really the whole question now be fore the House.—(Hear, hear.) It was a question as against Parliamentary privileges, and not as against an officer of the police. Well, then, this House took cog niaances of it as such, and appointed a Committee to in vestigate it, and on that Committee devolved the duty of reporting upon it. Now, if the House were to be called on to decide this question, without reference to that re port, why then he would say it was an attempt to lead this side of the House into a snare.--(Hear, hear.) Let him just read what the decision of that Committee had been. Here the Hon. Baronet read an extract from the report, which was to the effect that the conclusion the Com mittee had come to with reference to the South-Eastern Company's case was, that Mr. Hignett bad corruptly used the influence of his station, and was, therefore, un vieorthy of a continuance of the confidence reposed in him.—(Hear, hear.) By that the House could see that the Committee did not, as in other cases, *lle the facts and leave the punishment to this House ; but they stated at once what punishment ought to be inflicted ; and upon that report he (Sir R. Peel) advised the dismissal of Mr. Hignett.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then it had been said by Hon. Members opposite, that the Committee was composed of distinguished men, and that they were una nimous. Why, that is the very thing that they at this side of the House had acted on, for they conceived they could not have adopted a better course than to carry out the intention and recommendation of the Committee.— (Hear, hear.) With respectlo Mr. Bonham and Capt. Boldero, the report stated that those gentlemen's con duct had been inadvertent and inconsistent with the integrity of Members of this House, and the conse quence was, that they had tendered their resignations.— ( i fear, hear.) Well, then he came to the case of Mr. Wray; and what did the seine tribunal of this House, that pronounced Mr. Hignett corrupt, say of Mr. Wray ? Why this, that the conduct elif Mr. Wesey deserved the most severe animadversion. Well, then, what had he (Sir Hobert Peel) done, in pursuance of the report of the committee ? Why, this, that Mr. Hignett had been dis missed --the resignation of Mr. Bonham and Captain Boldero had been accepted, though his own private and political friends, and they had expressed their disappro bation of the conduct of Mr. Wray.—(Hear, hear). Well, now, let him contrast the meting now before the House with the recommendation of the Committee.—(Hear, hear). The Committe , , in their report, had drawn a marked disti nc ti on b e t ween th e merits of the case of Mr. Hignett and that of Mr. Wray ; for in the former they state he is unworthy of confidence, while in the latter they say th e while the mo ti on b e f ore th e House says that Mr. Wray party deserves " severe animadversion," "not only" deserves animadversion ; but had not the confidence of the House.—(Hear, hear). By putting in these words the conduct of Wray and Hignett would be assimilated, which the report of the Committee had not done.—(Hear, hear). Well, then, if so, let him ask would there be any justice in the House adopting this motion?—(llear, hear). He begged to declare most solemnly, that if the Committee had come tothe same de cision in reference to Mr. Wray that they had to Mr. Hignett, he had not the slightest doubt but that his Hon. Friend would have dismissed him at once.—(Hear, bear). He also begged to say that, considering the position of Mr. Wray as a member of a high and honourable profession, and that he had had inflicted on him the expression of the sense of disappro bation of this House—he did not know what the Noble Lord opposite might think of such punishment—but he (Sir R. Peel) should say that, next to dismissal, it was the severest punishment he could have got.—(Hear, bear.) And what was the object of punishment of any sort, if it was not to deter others from similar courses ? —(Hear, hear.) He would say then that, looking at the i whole of this case--taking into consideration the fact of the dismissal of one party, the resignation of two others, whose resignation the Queen of this realm had been advised to receive, and the reprimanding of a fourth—if the object was to deter others by punishment—surely he (Sir R. Peel) could not be accused of not having inflicted that punishment.—(Hear, hear.). If the House went further than that, they would not only be driving punish ment beyond its legitimate limits, but they would also be taking out of the hands of their own tribunals the powers they had invested them with. Mr. HUME said he was sorry he could not agree with his Hon. Friend the Member for Lambeth on the pre- ' sent occasion. Not that he did not concur with the con demnation of such practices as those he had referred to, but because he thought the matter against Mr. Wray had already been carried too far. He had known Mr. Wray for twenty years, and until now he had never known that gentleman guilty of a mean or a dishonour able action. He (Mr. Hume) admitted that Mr. Wray had acted a very improper part, but he did not think his conduct at all assimilated to the conduct of Juk e Bar rington, in the case of 1795, which had been refired to. He blamed Mr. Wray for his iedisereti,n, but he did not think he b;.d been guilty of corruption. Thin-e had been no evidence of that kind adduced before the Committee. Mr. Wray had already suficrid inch ; he had been severely punished in the publication of the letter of the flight lion. Gyn tie:flan the SecretAry of State for the Home Department, which must onerate very severely on a sensitive mind. That, with the de bate of to-night., he considered punishment sufficient. Viscount EBRINGTON was surprised at the course recommended by the Hon. Member for Montrose. He recollepted the case of the Durham election, on which a Committee of that House sat, and though there was no evidence adduced that Lord Dungannon had used cor rupt means to influence the voters, yet as money had been used by the agents engaged in the election in some form, so as to give a colour to the suppositiob that the electors had been unduly influenced—he wee unseated. This was an analogous case. Mr. WI ay had been the agent of the company conveying money trim that company to Mr. Bonham. He was surprised that this extraordinary fit of generosity should now be shown in favour of Mr. Wray which on other occasions had been denied to other parties. It was imperatively necessary to preserve honesty and integrity in those who held public offices, when such excitement prevailed in the money market. He should support the motion of his Hon. Friend. Mr. WART ; said he would troble the House with few words. This was not a question whether the letter of the Right Honourable Gentleman the Home Secre tary was perfect, but whether by affirming the last reso lution proposed by the Honourable Member for Lambeth they would inflict utter ruin on the party referred to. Nothing, he admitted, could be less a..rinionious than the tone and observations of that Hon. Member, yet they ought to bear in mind the palliating circumstances con nected with this case. The House ought to recollect the bad practices which prevailed in 1836, when there west not fifty Members in the House but what wcra mixed up in railway matters to a much more questionable extent than Mr. Wray. At that time it was impossible to carry a Bill through the House without doing what had been charged against Mr. Bonham. He believed that Mr. Bonham had never applied a farthing of the money to his own use, and as far as Mr. Wray was con cerned it had yield, dno advantage to him. There had been no previous undertanding between them as to what was then done ; for the offence the suff,ring had already been great, and as Mr. Wray had a large family de pendent on him ho hoped the House would not act harshly and run down such small game. To pass such a resolulon as that proposed by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hawes) would be utterly to destroy and ruin a man who had already greatly suffered.—(Hear, hear.) Colonel PEEL considered he was perfectly quali fied to give an opinion disinterestedly in this question as he had never held any railway shares lin his life. The Gallant Member, though in a very inaudible and rapid tone of voice, went through the leading particulars of the transactions involving Mr. Wray, Captain Boldero, and Mr. Bonham, contending that none of the gentlemen had been influenced by cor rupt or pecuniary considerations in the course they had taken. • • Sir J. EASTHOPE differed with the Gallant Colonel and the Hon. Member for Sheffield. Mr. Wray he did not know, but one of the Hon. Gentlemen he did know, Captain Boldero ; and he was pleased that he had been acquitted of all dishonourable motives or practices by the general sentiment of the House. With regard to Mr. Wray's case, he thought something more should be done. What would the public think if they went out of the usual course to screen this party, while on humbler persons they inflicted the full rigour of punishment. He should vote with the Hon. Membr for Lambeth. Sir H. INGLIS said that being originally one of the Committee, he might he allowed to say a few words, He had not attended the first day's sitting, but he had after wards carefully attended to the case, and carefully exa mined into, day by day, the report of the evidence ad duced. He then thought the case was pressed too heavily against the three gentlemen ; and if he thought so then, he must view the case of the Hon ourable Membox for Lambeth with much -less favour now. Ile considered the punishment had already been too much, and he hoped the Hon. Member for North Lancashire (Mr. W. Patten) would withdraw his amendment of the previous question so as to give a direct negative to the motion. He hoped that the House would negative the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman, and thus testify their respect for the House and their confidence in the conduct of the Secretary of State. Mr. MITCHELL said those who Inidrisen to defend Mr. Wray had only induced him to depsrt from his original intention of not voting at all aid of voting for the motion of the Hon. Merd9cr. if Mr. Wray was to retain his situation, why did they accept the resignations of Mr. Bonham and Captain Boldero ? Sir J. GRAHAM hoped the Hon. Member for North Lancashire would persist in his motion. Mr. Wray was not placed in so responsible a situation as either Mr. Bonham or Captain Boldero ; but nevertheless he would not defend his conduct. Mr. B. ESCOTT held that Mr. Bonham and Captain Boldero were honourable men, and that Mr. Wray, who had offered money to Members of that House, was the guilty party, and ought not to be allowed to escape. He should vote for the motion of the Hon. Member. Mr. HAWES then replied, and said that the Com- mittee considered that their resolution would have the effect of leading to his resignation or dismissal. Their words in the report to Mr. Hignett were not so distinct, yet he was dismissed, and then with respect to Messrs. Boldero and Bonham, why did the Government accept their resignations if they did not intend to dismiss or. Wray? The Hon. Gentleman had not condescended to allude to the standing order of that House, which ren dered it a breach of privilege to offer a bribe to a Mem ber of that House. With respect to the time he should have breught forward the motion, he held that as lung as the Parliament sat he was at liberty to do so, and he was not to be prevented from doing so, because other Hon. Members neglected their duty, or because the time did not suit the Government. The 'louse then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority against it —63 INCOME-TAX COMMISSIONERS. On our return to the gallery we found The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explain ing to the House that it had been found impossible to obtain the precise return, which related to the pro ceedings of the Income-tax Commissioners, moved for by the Hon. Member for Rochdale, and ordered to be made a few evenings ago. After a short discussion the modified return was or dered to he made, and the remaining orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at a Quarter past Eleven o'clock. MR. WRAY. Mr. HAWES rose to move the following resolutions of which he had given notice :—" That it appears from the report and evidence laid before this House by the Select Committee on the Soath-Eastern Rtil-say Coin pany's petition, that Mr. Wray, the Receiver of the Metropolitan Police District, was, in the year 1836, the retained arid paid agent of a private Company, to pro mote the success of a Bill introduced into Parliament on their behalf. That it also appears, from an address of this House, that the Secretary of State for the Home Department has, in consequence of the report and evi • dente referred to, addressed a hitter to Mr. Wray, ex pressing his strong disapprobation of Mr. Wray's con duct. That it appears to this House, upon a reference to the evidence, that Mr. Wray, on behalf of the South- Eastern Railway Company, paid the sum of 3001., de rived from the sale of railway shares, to Mr. Bonham, for his services as a Member of this House, and as a Member of a Select Committee, to which the Bill of this Company was referred ; a circumstance to which the Secretary of State has not adverted in the letter ad dressed to Mr. Wray. That, in the opinion of this House, such conduct deserves not only the serious ani madversion of the House, but disqualifies Mr. Wray from holding an office of trust and responsibility under the Crown." The Honourable Gentleman said he regretted to call the attention of the House to the subject, as he had hoped that the conduct of the Government would have spared him the necessity. He had no personal ill will towards Mr. Wray, but he thought it was perfectly impossible for the House to pass over the subject in the way the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of the Home Department had done. It was no doubt a late period of the se•sion for him to introduce such a motion, but in justification of that he would call the attention of the House to the fact that the report of the Select Committee, that sat to inquire into the allegations preferred against certain Members of that House in relation to the South- Eastern Company, was not laid on the table till the 12th .July. After that, it was not till the 19th, that the Honorable Gentleman at the head of the Home Department addressed the let ter to Mr. Wray, in reference to his conduct,and it was not till the 22d that it was printed. It was, therefore, impossible to have brought it befbre the House on an earlier day. What was the conduct of this person, as shown in the report unanimously agreed to by the Committee, not one part which but what was sustained by the evidence adduced ? Mr. Wray was a public officer, holding an important and responsible situation, and a person who from his office held large sums of public money in his hands. In 1837, while holding this situation, he allowed himself to become the paid agent of a private company, in order to promote a private Bill through the Legislature, and it had been clearly shown that in that capacity, while fulfilling engagements that were strictly private and confidental on behalf of this company, he h* , (l been engaged canvassing Members of Parliament to support the Bill for which he was retained, and on one occasion he paid 300 L to a certain Member, in order to obtain his assent to the Bill, that Member being one of the Select Committee on the Bill. This could not be considered professional conduct. He (Mr. Hawes) had conversed with most respectable legal gentlemen on this subject, and they all expressed their indignation at the circum stances, and condemned the conduct of Mr. Wray as altogether unprofessional. The Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government had given permission to Mr. Wray to follows his private business. But proceedings such as these could not be considered a legitimate following out of private business. Here was a public officer becoming the paid agent of a private Company, and in that capa city pa) ing sums of money to Members of that House in order to obtain a favourable result to his measure. Yet the House would be surprised that the Right Hon. Baronet the Home Secretary, in his letter to Mr. Wray, had not made a single allusion to that remarkable oc curence. There was no fact in the case which had not been developed in the admissions of Mr. Wray, in the evidence he had given before the Committee. But it would be important to learn what the House had done under similar occurrences in former times, in order to see whether the House could agree with the slight man ner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary had passed over the conduct of Mr. Wray, who had evidently committed a breach of the privileges of the House. In 1695 serious abuses and corruptions were brought before the House of Commons, affecting certain Members. The inquiry took place, and the re sult of this inquiry, and exposure of the transaction, was the passing of a general resolution to the effect:-L-That all offers of money or other advantages to Members of Parliament, in order to obtain any legislative advantage, or to forward any Bill, was a . . „.. high crone and misdemeanour, and subversive of the Constitution of the country.—(Hear, hear.) After that resolution was passed, a certain individual commit ted the identical offence, a Mr. Bird, and he was in con sequence summoned to the bar of the House,' and repri manded by the Speaker for having offered a certain re muneration to a Member of that House. He (Mr. Hawes) called the attention of the House to these precedents, that Hon. Members might see how such transactions were dealt with in former times, in order to guide them at the present time—a time which never had its equal for a disregard of honesty and fair dealing, and for over looking all prudential considerations. But the House had another case much clearer to assist them. He would give the opinion of a former House on public corn panies that tampered with the honesty of Members. The South Sea Bubble Companies employed large sums of money for that purpose, which were distributed among public officers and Members of Parliament. In conse quence of this, the House passed a resolution that the taking in, or the holding of stock by Members without giving in exchange any valuable consideration, or pay ment in money, were infamous and disgraceful practices. He gave this to show the opinion of Parliament at that time. Under these circumstances, he thought the House ought not to pass over that delin quency of Mr. Wray ; nor should they be content with the weak and unsatisfactory letter of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State. Considering the important admissions of Mr. Wray, he could not be lieve the House would pass the matter over with the re proof of the Right Hon. Gentleman. It was right to make a stand on the part of the public, and for the cha racter of the Government, against such malpractices. It was especially necessary that the Government should hold up the purity of its subordinate departments, and show its decided repudiation of such conduct. It was of no little importance that that House should look to the character and proceedings of those who held offices of trust under the Government; and hence it was that he brought the motion under the consideration of the House, as he had no objection to Mr. Wray on private grounds. He had avoided saying anything harsh or un kind respecting that gentleman,but he must say hisconduct had been such as ought not to be passed over by that House. He took this money to Mr. Bonham, whose services he tad purchased.—(Cries of "No, no,”) He said he took this money to Mr. Bonham, Mr. Bonham being under obligations to him. He did not say this to the dis paragement of Mr. Bonham—his observations were directed to Mr. Wray. He should have been the last man to solicit his services, and if Mr. Bonham unhap pily lent himself to Mr. Wray, he said Mr. Wray was to blame. Such conduct in one holding a public office, like Mr. Wray, could not be too highly censured. He (Mr. Hawes) had discharged a painful duty in bringing the subject before the House. In the expediency of bringing it forward he was borne out by the judgment of those most competent to judge. He should therefore leave to the House, and to the Hon. Gentleman, to de cide what course they should take ; for himself, he should divide the House on the motion he had made. The SPEAKER having put the motion, Sir J. GRAHAM said if the Hon. Gentleman entity tained doubts as to the course he was pursuing in hisofficial capacity with respect to Mr. Wray, he could not but doubt that it was a painful duty which he had to dis charge. The case lay in the narrowest possible compass. He should not, therefore, discuss the constitutional doc trines brought forward by the Hon. Gentleman, who rested his arguments on precedents and on the strong declarations of that House in past time. There was not a Member in it more anxious than he was to guard its purity, especially at a time when it was exposed to some danger by the wide-spread speculation of the pre sent moment—(Hear, he a r)— as h e cons id ere d that the high character of the House should be steadily guarded against its influence. With these general doctrines, he would proceed to the question. He was not about to extenuate—he was not there to defend the conduct of Mr. Wray. To the best of his (Sir J. Graham's) judg ment he had endeavoured to do justice to that House, and to give effect to what he thought was the wish of the Com mittee over which the Hon. Gentleman presided.—(Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman said that he had no personal con nexion with Mr. Wray. It did so happen that in the execution of his official duties with Mr. Wray he had never been called into personal contact with him, and therefore he. could have no favour with him. He might, therefore, say solemnly that, until he wrote the letter, from no friend of Mr. Wray, and from no individual what ever did he receive any application concerning him. (Hear, hear.) He was, therefore, solely responsible for tae letter, which was written by himself. After a dis passionate view of the circumstances of the case, that judgment not being grounded on personal favour, either one way or the other. The Hon. Gentleman regretted that he had brought foward this question at that late period of the session. He (Sir James Graham) re gretted that he did not bring it forward a week or ten days ago. There were only three out of the Members to whom the question had been referred present.— (Hear, hear.) This showed that the subject did not greatly interest those that were absent. After all, the matter really at issue was—had he or had he not followed the recommendations of the Committee.—(Mi nisterial cheers.) He repeated that he had endeavoured to carry o u t th e i r recommen d at i ons to t h e b es t o f his ability. However there were two or three circumstances which, before they could decide the question whether he had fairly carried out the recommendations of the Com mittee or not, ought not to be lost sight of. The Honourable Gentlem an use d the expression that a b r ib e had been given to Mr. Bo n h am . — (M i n i ster i a l c h eers.) In the first place, it ce, was distinctly shown by the evidence, and admitted in the report, that the part taken by Mr. Bonham, as a Member of that House, was t a k en without MANUFACTURING AND WOOL MARKETS. MANCHESTER TRADE, Ana. 2.—We are gratified to be enabled to state that every branch of business in this dis trict appears healthy. The Yarn Market is still buoyant, and at prices that must satisfy even the most diisatisfied of our spin ners. The Cloth Market was on Thursday very animated, and a heavy business done in domestic cloth and 40-inch shirt ings at advanced rates, and many makers of 40's shirtings are engaged for all they can produce for the next two months, at an advance of 3d. per piece upon the prices current a few weeks back. The printers are also better employed, al though this branch of trade is more depressed than any other in the neighbourhood. Another shipper has failed at Liverpool, and his creditors, we are sorry to say, are nearly all Manchester ones. 27-inch 66's may be quoted ss. to ss. 5d.: and 72's, ss. 9d. to 6s. 3d. 40-inch 66's, 81b. lOog. to 91b. weight, 9s. 9d. to 10s. 6d. _ _ HALIFAZ TRADE, Also. 2.—Stuff goods are in general de mand. Wool is on the decline, except the finer qualities, which keep up in price; and the better quality of Noils have somewhat advanced, being in general demand. LEEDS TRADE, AUG. 2.—Our Cloth markets, like the Corn markets, are just now ruled by the state of the weather. The few fine days we had at the latter end of last week caused lively markets both on .zaturday and Tuesday. The demand was principally for beavers, pilot cloths, heavy tweeds, fancy cloak ing', and shawls, the stocks of which are very light to meet the season, and prices are firm, but without any advance. More buyers have beet► in the town during the past week, and, in con sequence, business has been pretty good in the warehouses. HUDDERSFIELD TRADE, JULY 29.—The activity of this day's market, and also of the warehouses during the week, has has been on an equal scale of extent to those of the past few weeks. The Wool market is very brisk. LEEDS WOOL TRADE,I AUG. I.—Foreign.—There has been no apparent change in this branch of business since our last report. Sales to a certain extent have been effected, and recent rates are firmly supported. English.—We have not much alteration to notice this week. The demand still con tinues steady and prices firm. Low clothing wools are scarce, and very much inquired for. ImrouTs or W00t..--Entered at Hull for home con sumption during the week ending July 24.—Hamburgh, 1,260,7951 b. ; Konigsberg, 1,5431 b. ; Ant werp, 2,888111. ; Petersburgh, 100,9161b.—Total, 1,365,0421 b. The raising of the deposit on projected railways to 10 per cent. is generally looked upon as a wholesome measure, as likely to have the effect of deterring from speculation all who merely intend to make a profit by the speedy resaie of their al lotments—that is to say, all who, in modern parlance, are called " stags." On the other hand, some are of opinion that the measure, in its present form, gives too much power to the promoters of a scheme, by placing in their hands a sum of money twice as large as that which they would have commanded under the former system. It is suggested by a correspondent, that if the money were to be paid directly into the Court of Chancery, it would be a great imprcvement to the plan, as the share holders would then be efficiently protected.— Times.

(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE CHAMBERS AND CO. A meeting was held this morning for the audit of the ac counts of Messrs. Chambers and Son, formerly of South Molton-street, and Bond -street, bankrupts. The fiat was issued nearly twenty years ago, and from that time to the present, litigation to a great extent has been carried on. but which it now appears is likely to terminate in the pay ment of a dividend, and a winding up of the affairs. The proceedings of the audit were not of a public nature ; but it was stated that the funds in hand, the bulk of which was from the proceeds of the Opera House estate, applicable fur a dividend was 100,0001. The proceedings taken against Mr. Wilton, formerly soli citor to Mr. Chambers, have been so frequently before the Courts and the public that Mr. Wilton had threatened to eject the tenants of the Chettle estate, of which Mr. Wilton was trustee, under the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Chain ; bens. Since the last audit an order of commitment bad been made by the Lord Chancellor, in consequence of-his not having entered up satisfaction on judgments obtained against the estate. He had refused to do so, but had re-registered four j'sdgments, amounting to 21,000/. A printed letter was ex tensively circulated containing some correspondence between Mr. Wd'on and Messrs. Few and Co. in explanation, and an offer to come to terms. Ha had given notice of his intention to publA the correspondence, i.nd attend before the Learned Commissioner to explain pursonally, but did not do so. CORONERS INQUEST. Satunlay waa held before Mr. I , 7 cralcleY, M.P., on the body of Mr. Tiu.anas Everitt, formerly 4 lecturer on chymiairy the Middlesex Hospital, end late an inmate of the lunatic asylum at. Southall-park. where ho died on the morning of Wednesday last. Mr. WAKLUY thought it but right to premise to the jury that no complaint had, up to that moment, been made against any person in reference to the death of the dec:eased, which was stated to have been the result of an accident. The following witnesses were then sworn and exa mined G. W. Daniel, surgeon to and one of the proprietors of the insti:ution ; Mr. Cooke, resident me dical superintendent ; G. Fountain, one of the attendants having the care of the bath department ; J. Safe, an as sistant ; and T. White, the servant of one of the inmates, who occasionally assisted in attending others. From the evidence of these witnesses, it appeared that the deceased (who was about 40 years of age, and had been in the institution for about eight months) was af fected with paralysis, and had recently been in so debi litated a state as to render occasional ablutions of his entire body necessary. With this view he was put into a bath of about the temperature of 90 between eight anti nine o'clock on Saturday- morning, the 26th of July and while there received au extensive scald from a sud den gush of water through the pipe leading from the boiler, and the stop-cock of which (placed in a dark and covered recess at one end of the bath) was omitted to have been turned after the bath had been prepared. There was some difficulty in at once comprehending how the water from this wipe could have ceased and re commenced flowing as it were of its own accord ; having been stated that the cock had been turned but once, and then for the purpose of' letting the water flow. But it appeared from the evidence of Fountain and White, that it frequently ceased flowing for four or five minutes, and then gushed out with such violence as sometimes to reach the opposite side of the bath-room. The jury, after inspecting the body of the deceased proceeded to examine the bath and the apparatus for supplying it with hot water, which they pronounced to be defective, and requiring alteration. The boiler, placed about 12 feet below the bath, received a tube at either side, through one of which descended cold, and through the other ascended hot water, forced up by tie operation of steam, to supply the bath. It was also furnished with escape-tubes ; but the pressure by which the water when boiling was caused to ascend not being always equal, the flow from the pipe into the bath was libewise at times unequal. The jury were also of opinion that the stop-cock ought to be placed in such a position in the bath-room as to enable the attendant to see at a glance whether it was turned on or off. Mr. Daniel stated in his evidence that it had been purposely placed in a recess lest the patiente . migheineddle with it if exposed to view; but to this Mr. Wakley replied that, although no doubt that object was a necessary and useful one, it might be attained by some other means—such, for instance, as a small aperture immediately over the baths, on the plan of a keyhole. Mr. Daniel concurred in the suggestion, and promised that an alteration should forthwith be made in order to meet it. Mr. Wakley also suggested the pro priety of having printed rules for the guidance of the at tendants, who, it appeared, put the deceased into the bath without any orders to that effect. In fact Mr. Daniel had discontinued giving the deceased hot baths medicinally, because he found that they had an injuri ous effect upon hint. lie did not order him to be put into a bath, even tor the purposes of ablution, on the morning in question: Mr. Cooke made the sane allega tion on his own behalf ; and when the witness Safe (the regular attendant of the deceased) was asked by whose authority he put the deceased into a bath, he said, by the direction of Fountain, but this Fountain positively denied, adding, that he had prepared the bath for ano ther of the inmates, and that he never directed any of the patients to be put into a bath without instructions to that effect from Mr. Cooke. White was the only per son in the bath-room when the accident occurred. lie said he had been left there by Safe, to watch the de ceased ; that he lifted him from the bath as speedily tie possible on seeing the water rush in, and that the de ceased did not appear to be severely scalded, and showed no symptoms of pain. Some of the water fell upon his (the witness's) hand, but he experienced no inconve nience from it. Mr. Daniel, who had the medical treatment of the ch.- ceased, gave it as his opinion that, being in a very debili tated state, he could not. have survived very long, and that even a much less shock than that which he received must have hastened his death. Who was to blame in not having turned the stop-cock did nut clearly appear. White was an irresponsible agent ; Fountain had the superintendence and pre paring of the bath, and delegated to Safe a portion of that duty. Safe, who had been in the establishment only a few weeks, candidly confessed that he thought the blame rested with himself and White ; and under these circumstances The jury were of opinion, and returned for their ver diet—" That the deceased met his death by an accidental scald, while in one of the baths of the establishment, and that the accident was attributable to general defective arrangements." Two members of the deceased's family were present during the investigation, but took no part in it. MARKET NE W S—(YESTERDAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. During the past week fair average supplies of Wheat have been received up to our Market, principally from Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Of Foreign and Irish Oats the arrivals were extensive, and nearly the whole of the former were en tered for home consumption, at the prevailing duty. The fresh supplies of Barley, Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour were scanty. Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples, upwards of 2,000 quarters, in addition to the quantity imported up to Saturday evening, came to hand, chiefly from Essex; notwithstanding the stands were much better supplied than for some time past, and which will be observed, when we intimate that the total arrivals since this day se'unight have rather exceeded 10,000 quarters—the factors, at the opening of the Market demanded ridiculouslyihigh rates, many of them asking as much as 78s. per quarter for White qualities. This, as might well be imagined, had the effect of causing the buyers to hold off ; hence the sale for the article was by no means so animated as it otherwise might have been. However, notwithstanding the demand was not to say brisk ; the holders succeeded in ob.• taining an advance in the currencies paid on Monday last of ls, and in some instances 2s per quarter, and at which the principal portion of the supply was disposed of. The show of fine foreign Wheat was not large. For the best parcels of both red and white the inquiry was somewhat active, at a rise of 2s. per quarter, and other qualities sold at Is. per quarter more money. Bonded samples were in active de mand at an improvement in value of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter, and at which upwards of 10,000 quarters were disposed of. The accounts received from various parts of the kingdom, respecting the growing crops, were of a very conflicting cha racter, yet we have every reason to believe the wheats have sustained but little damage. Grinding Barley was in fair request, at full prices, but malting and other parcels hung heavily on hand. The supply of Malt was limited, yet the demand for it was inactive, at late rates. Owing to the large supplies of both Irish and Foreign, the Oat trade was dull, and prices were with difficulty supported. Beans were very dull, and the turn lower. We had a parcel of new Peas en offer. Flour was active, at further improved quotations. New Canary-seed sold at from 48s to 50s per quarter,:and new Rapeseed 281 to 30/ per last.

During the past week the imports of live stock from abroad, for our market, have been on an extensive scale, they having amounted to 175 Oxen and Cows, together with 163 Sheep, and 27 Calves, from the Columbine, Batavier, and Giraffe steamers from Rotterdam ; while the Caledonia has arrived from llamburgh having on board 50 Oxen. We had on offer SO Oxen and Cows, and 12 Calves from the above ports; in which, however, though there were some useful animals amongst them, a decided falling off was apparent in their general quality. The demand for them was, therefore, inac tive, at s ,mewhat depressed currencies, yet nearly the whole of them found buyers. In consequence of the comparatively high rates ruling here, very few shipments have been lately made to our outports. At Hull only about 90 Beasts have conic to hand since our last. Still we find that two cargoes, comprising 75 Oxen and Cows, have been lately landed and disposed of by public auction at Dundee. The Oxen from Holstein sold at from 11/. to 161. ss. ; those from Jutland, 10/. to 13/. each. The purchases were wholly made by the graziers. The foregoing arivals, added to those previously reported, form the following totals of Beasts and Sheep for the present year:—Beasts, 6,496 head; Sheep, 1,843 head. Fresh up the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing dis tricts were somewhat on the increase; while a further slight improvement was noticed in their quality, especially in that of those from the western and midland counties. Al though the attendance of both town and country buyers was rather numerous, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, the highest figure for the best sorts not exceeding 4s 4d per Blbs, and at which a clearance was with difficulty effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, we received about 700 Scots, Home-breds, and Short Horns ; from the northern districts, including 80 by railway from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 200 Short Horns, &c. ; from the western and midland counties, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of yarinua breeds; and from Scotland, 380 horned and polled Scots, the remainder o f the supply being derived from around the metropolis. For the time of year, the numbers of Sheep were very limited, and their condition was by no means good, notwithstanding the plentiful supplies of fodder on the whole of our large stock farms. The primest Old Downs were in steady re quest, at full rates of currency, but all other kinds were a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. There were very fine store animals on offer, and for which high rates W ere again demanded. The supply of Lambs was small, owing to which, the Lamb trade was active, at full quotation' The foreign Calves found ready buyers, at from 4s to 45 6 4 per 81bs. Generally speaking, the Veal trade was steady, 14 last week's figures. In Pigs—the supply of which Was small—only a limited business was doing at late rates. s. d. to S.
