Mr. 13 11 OTH E RION had been requested to support the prayer of the petition from Durham. In doing so he would merely take occasion to remark that in that county where the eccle siastical revenues were the largest, the condition of the people with regard to education was the most deplorable. Mr. TREVOR was obliged to protest against the s'ate-, ment just made in the strongest manner. Hr would be on!. worthy of the situation which he held, the representative of a large clerical constituency, if he sat still and• hea-d such a charge made without giving it a decided contradiction. Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from Worcester in favour of the Manchester and Chester Railway Bill. Mr. ANG EIZ STE I N brought up the Report of the Green wich Improvement Bill. Sir R.

Gentle man opposite (Mr. Shaw Lelovre) when he expected the Report of the Commissioners on County Rates would he pre sented ? Mr. S. LEFEVRE said that he expected the Report would be made shortly. • REGISTRATION OF VOTERS' BILL. On the motion of the ATTORNE Y-GENER AL, the House went into Committee on this Bal. Mr. BERNAL. in the Chair. . Clauses 49 and 50 were then agreed to. On clause 51 being read, Mr. DUNCOMBE wished to add the clause of which he had given notice, the object being that no tenant should be deprived of his vote in consequence of his landlord having cesrapounded with the parish for the parochial rate. The ATTORNE Y-G ENE RAL objected to the clause on the ground of irregularity. Mr. DUNCOM BE said the object of the clause was to place the electors of boroughs on the footing of those of coun ties. He hoped his Majesty's Attorney-General would give some reason for his objection besides the grounds which he had stated. He (Mr. Duncombe) maintained that his amendment was perfectly regular. The amendment having been put from the chair, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL would feel it his duty to oppose the motion. In the first place it was quite irregular, and the Hon. Member was endeavouring to do indirectly what he could not do directly. The present was quite a dis tinct and specific clause, and had no relation to that to which it was said to be an amendment. He objected to it further, inasmuch as the present Bill did not seek to make any change in the qualification in the franchise, it was mere)) , a Bill to facilitate the registration of voters. He was not bound, he thought, to enter upon the merits of the question, but he apprehended it would open the door to much fraud. Mr. KEMP totally differed from the view taken by his Right Hon. Friend the Attorney-General. He thought the amendment would be highly advantageous. After a few words from Captain PaCUELL, Mr. ROBINSON said he supposed the Hon. Member for Finsbury would be satisfied if the Attorney-General would re cognize the principle embodied in his resolution. He (Mr. R.) warmly supported the principle. Mr. DUNCOMBE thought the Attorney-General was rendering the Bill as vexations as it was possible. He would divide the House. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his only object was to preserve the franchise as it was before. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the clause as it stood For the amendment Majority . ~.. 97 The clause was then - agreed to. On the 52d clause being put, Mr. PEMBERTON said he had heard with the greatest pleasure what had fallen from the Attorney-General, because unquestionably on the same prin ciples his Hon. and Learned Friend must support him (Mr. Pemberton) in his opposition to the present clause.—( Hear.) He (the Attorney-General) had stated that it was no part of the object or principle of their Bill to alter the right of vot ing, and that its object was to provide a more convenient re gistration, and to remove any doubts that existed as to the present right of voting. If, therefore, he found that this clause was - one which beyond all doubt altered the right of voting, and destroyed existing qualifications, and made new ones, he called upon him (the Attorney-General), in common consist ency, whether he approved of this clause or not, to concur with him (Mr. Pemberton) in throwing this clause out of the Bill. The clause stated that doubts existed upon the subject. Now no doubts did exist, and if they did, the clause would not remove them. Ile wished that either land alone or houses alone should give the right of voting. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the clause was intended to remove doubts which existed, and for the better registration of voters. The framers of the Reform Act were aware that it would become necessary, from time to time, to take measures for the purpose of explaining parts of the Act, and that it would be requisite to apply to Parliament to make amendments in it. The object of the clause was to entitle any person occupying a house or shed - or tenement with land attached, to have the value of that land included in the valuation.—(Hear, hear.) He could net agree to omit the clause altogether, but he had no objection to put the other one to the sense of the House. Mr. PEMBERTON hoped if the Noble Lord brought in a Bill to disfranchise these voters, he would also bring in a Bill to disfranchise the forty-shilling voters of Dewsbury. Mr. W. PRAED said he would oppose the clause decidedly, and would divide the House upon it. Mr. E\VART would cordially support the clause of the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Pemberton). Mr. M.LE AN also supported the clause. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clause. Mr. S. WORTLEY said that the effect of not inserting the proposed clause would be the means of disfranchising 18 or 20 persons. After a few words from Mr. C. Woon, Sir J. GRAHAM objected to the clause as it stood, on ac count of the inequality to which it gave rise. It gave an advantage to the voters in boroughs and towns over these in the agricultural districts. If the Noble Lord (Lord J„ Rus sell) would consent to the omission of the words " not being a house, warehouse, counting-house, or shop," he thought that it would remedy this inequality. Mr. C. BULLEIt thought the proposition of the Hon. Bart. very fair, except as it applied to the word Dwelling House. After a few words from Mr. C. BULLER 'and Lord JOHN Russ6.l.l„ Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to put on record his objec tion to the clause altogether, inasmuch as it was a dangerous precedent in a Bill professing to facilitate the registry, to introduce a clause changing the qualification itself. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. After a few words from Mr. G. F. YOUNG, Mr. PRAM and Sir I'. FRE MANTLE, which, together with the r.st of the debate, was uttered in a broken, colloquial, and inaueible tone, the House divided. “S, /V ••• • • v On our re:urn to the gallery, it was understood that the amendment had been agreed to without a division. Clauses 53, 54, and 55 were agreed to. Clause 56 was struck out. And on dlause 57 being proposed, The ATTORNRY-GENERAL moved as an amendment that the third question to be put to the voter, as to the pro. perty for which he proposed to vote being the same for which he was registered, be left out, and also to insert words to make the register conclusive evidence on the point of continued qua lification. On Clan:o 57, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL proposed as an amendment that in all eases the registry shall taken as conclusive evidence of the right of voting of all electors whose names are therein contained. _ Sir J. GRA lI A M opposed the amendment, and after some discu:ision, in which several Members took part, the Clause as amended was agreed to. Clause 53 was also agreed to, with a verbal amendment. The remaining clauses of the Bill, together with the sche dules, were then agreed to. Mr. E. DENISON moved an additional clause, to the effect of increasing the number of polling-places in counties where it might he necessary to do so. Lord E B IN GTO N supported the motion. The clause was then agreed to. Several other clauses were also amended and agreed to, and the chairman reported the Bill to the House. The House tlien resumed. The Bankruptcy (Scotland) Bill went through committee. The Cessio Bonorum (Scotland) Bill also went through committee. Mr. Bernal brought up the Reports on the Bastards' Testa ments (Scotland) Bill, and the Commissary Courts (Edin burgh) Bill. INSTRUMENT OF SAS!NE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE moved that the House resolve into committee on the Instrument of Sasine (Scotland) Bill. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE wished the further proceeding with the Bill tobeyostporied. Mr. WALLACE opposed the postponement. Captain GORDON wished to know if this Bill differed froni the Bill of last year, which was rejected by the House on the ground that it did not affect eases upon which actions had been brought, which were still pending. The LORD ADVOCATE said that the present Bill did differ in that respect from the Bill of last year, for it embraced all cases, as well those under litigation as those which were not, for it went to bar all actions pending or in contemplation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the Bill would not have done sufficient justice or service if it did not put a stop to all litigation. The Bill then went through Committee, and was ordered to he reported. The Court of Session (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. WES!' INDIA JUDICATURE BILL. Sir G. GIZEY moved the second reading of the e Jud:eature Mr. MACLEAN hoped a system of amelioration would be introduced into every department in the west India Colo nies, and especially in the Courts of judicature. • Mr. JOHNSTONE expressed his approbation of the Bill generally. Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN approved of the principle of the Bill. The Bill was then read a second time. DUBLIN SOCIETY. Mr. O'BRIEN moved that the name of Mr. Sergeant Jackson be added to the Committee appointed to make in quiry on the subject of the Dublin Society. Mr. WARBURTON said such a course was unusual, un less upon matters of great importance. Colonel PE RCE VAL said it was a subject that excited great interest in Ireland. After a few words from Lord MORPETII and Mr. F. BARING, the motion was postponed for the present. Mr. A. TREVOR moved for a statement of the number and value of all benefices in England and Wales which are i❑ the gift of private patrons, specifying the diocese in which each of them may be situated ; and also whether in any the presentation is only alternate, and in such case with whom... Ordered. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the [louse ac'journed at a Quarter to Twelve o'Clock. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. ELECTORS FOR COUNTIES.

The argument on the vote of Edward Stanley, which com menced on Thursday, was resumed to-day. The voter, it ap peared, acted at the election in the capacity of the Sheriff's poll clerk, and it was contended by Mr. Austen that this case came within the disqualifying clause in the Act of Parliament. The Learned Gentleman quoted a decision in the New Wind sor Committee, where it was held that such votes were in valid. 'The vote was allowed. _ _ John Stanley, a deputy clerk of the peace, was next objected to. The objection was however over-ruled. Mr. AVSTEN thea proposed to strike off the vote of John Franklin, who, it appeared, was personated at the election. It was proved that the voter whose name was on the poll for the petitioners had died 12 months before the 12th of Jan. 1835, Vote struck oft William Jones, in the same class, was next objected to. A ►vitness named Malachi Coyle stated before the Commissioners that he voted in the name of William Jones at the election for West and Hamilton. The evidence relating to this case was very voluminous, and was read at length by Mr. Hutton. The Committtce resolved, " That the case of personation resting on the testimony of Malachi Coyle, who is considered by the Committee to be utterly unworthy of credit, the name of William Jones must remain on the poll." Mr. Herron next objected to the vote of Rainsford Collins for not having been six months on the registry previous to the election. It appeared the name on the poll book was entered through mistake Beresford Collins, and the sitting Members not having stated an objection to this person in their exchange Ests, and no evidence having been offered before the Commissioners, the vote was allowed. William Dunbar was objected to by Mr. Hutton, as havinfr voted, his name not bei n g u p on the re g is try , as required by the Reform Act. The vote was allowed, and the Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock this day. OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY. A united and a determined movement is looked for in Parliament on the part of the Bench of Bishops to the effect that the Sunday press be exempted from all participation in the proposed reduction parity of the of the Newspaper Stamp D uty. Some Right Rev. Prelates have delarcd it to be their intention . t o get appended to every Railway Bill a provision interdicting i n toto railroad travelling on Sunday ; and it may be supposed . from the cases that the same conscientious. in di viduals will not fail to take such additional means as passing c ircumstances permit, to secure to the public mind one day of rest in the s even f rom the turmoil and excitement of politics and of scandal. Of course the Bench will be impelled to such a step by mot i ves far too exalted to induce them previously to ascertain how the balance stands with regard to Sunday Liberal and Sunday Conservative Journals.

WRECK OF TIIE CANIELEON.—We understand another attempt is about to be made to raise the hull of this ill-fated vessel, by Mr. Kemp, who, having obtained a patent for the invention of his buoying principle, has received per mission from Government to make an experiment on the Came lean ; and in the event of its proving successful, the wreck as it may be raised will become the reward of the enterprize. Mr. Kemp's apparatus consists of a number of empty pun cheons, each open at one end, and having a bar of iron across, by which, after being sunk, they are attached to a chain, pre viously passed round the wreck by the divers, who next employ themselves in successively applying to each cask the elastic tube through which they are filled by the air pump, and the water consequently expelled. The puncheons thus charged with air acquire a perpendicular position, and are so buoyant as to render certain the raising of any weight proportionate to the number of them employed. The operation of filling the puncheons with air will be comparatively easy in this instance, as from the favourable circumstance of the wreck lying in less than thirteen fathoms water, little more than two atmospheres will be required, and scarcely ary doubts are entertained of the attempt proving successful.—Dover Telegraph. 267 6518 1,073 1,518 615 2,635 910 2,007 621 1,863 CK$ PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK Si t.
