The report of the Select Committee on the petitions of Thomas Hughes Bradford and John Strutt having been read and agreed to on the motion of the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL, The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said as John Strutt and Charles Cunningham had caused the name of Tho mas Hughes Bradford to be attached to the petition with out his consent or knowledge, he should move that, being guilty of a breach of the privileges of the House, they should both be consigned to the custody of the Sergeant -at-Arms. The motion was then put and agreed to. ST. ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISSION BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. On clause 1, Mr. BANKES said he objected to the preamble alto gether, although he did not object to a further inquiry into the St. Alban's election proceedings. Indeed, it was due to the honour of the House that a further in. quiry should take place, but how that inquiry should be had was not quite so settled a matter. A petition had been presented against the sitting Member for St. Al ban's, and virtually that petition remained undisposed of. In fact, the opponents of that petition bad baffled the Committee, and defeated the ends of justice. Hence justice was not done to the petition, and at the request of the Committee, who occupied several days in sifting its allegations, they were now about to take extraordinary measures for completing the investi gation. He fur one, however, thought it would have been more judicious had the Committee applied to the House to pass a declaratory act of law, and then the Committee would have been in a situation to render strict justice to all parties. The Committee reported to the House that the witnesses who were to support the allegations had been spirited away, and therefore he they could not continue e inquiry ; b ut the Committee at the same time also reported that a sys tem of gross corruption was carried on at the last election, and yet they seated the Member whose party had be en guilty of that very corruption. Now, was it a creditable proceeding for the House to sanction the return of the sitting Member. If there was gross prod corruption it must h ave b een uced by that very Member, and still i n t h e face of all this the House pro posed to pass a Bill which should punish the corrupted and screen the corruptor, Now that he considered was a moat inconsistent course, because if one was punished so ought the other, and the amendment which he wished to propose would have that effect. He proposed that in the present state of the proceedings the House of Commons should not part with this inquiry. He did not mean to question the ability or fitness of those whom the Government proposed to nominate as Com missioners; but before they could hope to pass a Bill like this through the House of Lords they must do everything to bring the inquiry to an effective conclu sion. Ho proposed that the Commissioners for follow leg up this inquiry should be Members of the House of Commons, who should not only be invested with the powers suggested by the Bill, but far more stringent powers which he was not prepared to intrust to the hands of Commissioners. Unless they did that any future inquiry would be a mockery, a delusion, and a snare. It the Howe wished really to root out the cor ruption that was known w prevail at St. Alban'si they Wait got at and punish the agents who were instrumental in promoting the corruption. He therefore proposed to introduce a clause for giving power to his own Commie sieners to examine the agent of the sitting Member and punish tbern if they should so think fit after due and proper inquiry. Ile regretted that the Noble Lord at the head of the Government was not in his place to watch the progrers of the Bill, because when the Noble Lord passed his Reform Bill he seemed to imagine that it would have the effect of putting an end to bribery. What had been the result though? Why, since the pas sing of the Reform Bill bribery had frightfully increased, and at the end of the last general election no less than 14 boroughs were petitioned against on that ground alone. This induced the Hon. Baronet the Member for the Flint Burghs to make an attempt to check this wholesale bribery; but after struggling manfully through a whole Session, he failed in its accomplishment, except in so far as he extorted a promise from the Noble Lord at the head of the Government that in the next session he would introouce a measure upon the subject. Accord. ingly when the next session came the Noble Lord dtd introduce a Bill, but it was delayed till such a late period of the session that it en.. countered the opposition of Lord Denmau when it was sent pto t Loos, e h and uliimat e l y i t was thrown out be- cause there was no time to mend its defective details. The Government were then, lore to blame for having so long neglected this important subject, and it was because be was anxious that the Bill should not meet with the same fate as the others, that he now proposed to move the amendment which he had already introduced to the H ouse . I t was never too late to do justice, and if they had to contend with Some technical difficulty, that was no reason for refusing justice. Let them, therefore, keep the inquiry alive by making Com missioners Members of Parliament, and in order that the House might have an opportunity of doing so he would move the omission of the first clause. He was quite willing that the members of the Committee should be the commissioners if they were disposed to act, but if they were not he should be ready to find five Members who would carry on the inquiry, and sa tisfy the public that the House Was ready and willing to root out these evils. Mr. ELLICE, jun., said, so far as the sitting Member was concerned, he looked upon the case a; fully closed end disposed of; and he would, therefore, confine his ob servations to the main point of the amendment, namely, whether the commissioners to be appointed under the Bill should be Members of Parliament. Now, he did not think it would be advisable to adopt the suggestion of the Hon. and Learned Member, because, if th e y made the c o mm i ss i oners Members of' Parliament, prac tically speaking they would have leas power to act effec tively than those which the Bill proposed as it now stood. Mr. FRESHFIELD considered that this was a case in which there had been no decision whatever of a Com mittee. The great point, however, was the appointment of commissioners, whether they should be Members of Parliament or not, and how they should be appointed. He objected to the provisions contained in the clause for this purpose, and he Should certainly vote for the amendment. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... ... ... 17 Against it ... ... ••• ... 66 Majority against the amendment... —49 On our return to the gallery, Mr. MILES was objecting to the provision confer. ring upon the Lord Chief Justice the power of naming the commissioners.

Mr. HERRIES gave notice that on Tuesday next he should move an address to her Majesty, praying her to take such measures with regard to fcreign ports as would be most fitting to carrying into effect the provisions of the navigation-laws. HARWICH ELECTION. Mr. BANKES moved that the petition which he had presented on the subject of this election be printed with the votes. Sir DE LACY EVANS opposed the motion, and quoted the speech of Sir Robert Peel on a similar occa sion, who had objected to this course on the ground that the minds of lion. Members appunted to try the ques tion in Committee would be prejuciced. Mr. HAYTER said the petition complained of inti midation at the election, and wits very much of the nature of an election petition. Mr. BANKES should press hie motion to a division. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appre hended that there would be no objection to printing the petition if it were not intended tc take any further dis cussion on it. An FloN. MEMBER put it to the Speaker to say whe ther it was right to receive this petition. Mr. BANKES said it had already been received. Mr. HUME suggested that the matter had better be referred to a Committee. Mr. V. SMITH could not understand what necessity there was for printing the petition, it it was not intended to take any further discussion upon it. Mr. BANKES said the petition imputed misconduct to the Government, and it ought to be printed. Sir G. GREY did not think the House could think the petitioh could be printed if it were not in tended to found a motion upon it. Mr. BRIGHT said the House could not discuss a question that was under the consideration of a Com mittee. Now, the election referred to in this petition was now before a Committee ; and what, therefore, was the use of printing the petition? Mr. DUNCAN said the petition would come under the consideration of the General Committee of Elections to-morrow, and no doubt it woald be ordered to be printed. Mr. BANKES said under these circumstances he would not press his motion to a division. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. ST. ALBANS ELECTION. Mr. HEADLAM presented a petition from William Prescott, an elector of the borough of St. praying the H ouse not to discharge Henry Edward Albans,s from custody u nt il h e had been subjected to an examin a tion such as should be sufficient to disclose the extensive system of bribery which had long prevailed in elections at St. Albans. Mr. SI'OONER in rising to make the motion of which he had given notice to discharge Henry Edwards from Newgate, adverted to his petition as being unsup ported by evidence, and not deserving of having suffi cient weight attached to it as to prevent the release of Henry Edwards. That gentleman now came before the house in a position of contrition, he acknow ledged his participation in the original offence of with drawing the witnesses from the COamittoe, but he maintained he had no share in keeping them away from this country. He had been in prison nine weeks, and his affairs were getting into the greatest dia. order, and under those circumstances, though he (Mr. Spooner) would be the last man to defend the practices of Mr. Edwards, yet he thought he had suffered enough I.) expiate his offsnee. Mr. FORBES seconded the motion. In answer to a question from Mr. BANKES, The SPEAKER said it would not be competent for any lion. Member to put a question to Mr. Edwards when brought before the bar. Mr. HUME said that a bill being under the con sideration of the House for the investigation of the case of bribery at St Albans, he thought it was premature to ask for the discharge of Mr. Edwards. The AT CONEY- GENERAL reminded the House that its authority had been set at nought by the agency of Mr. Edwards. The witnesses who :had been taken away were still living ut Boulogne, and that too with a person named Edwards and he should like to know whether that gentleman was any relation of the Mr. Edwards now in custody. After a few words from Sir G. GREY and Mr. AN , STEY the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion... ... 4 Against it 133 Majority agaipst the motion (LEFT SITTING.) ...-129 ----------- ISLEIVORTH REGATTA. This regatta, under the immediate patronage of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, came off last Satur• day, and was most fashionably and numerously attended. His Grace and the Duchess entered the pavilion facing the river at three o'clock, and were received by the band playing " Rule Britannia;" a salute of guns, a peal of bells from the ivy -mantled tower of Isleworth, and the hearty cheers of a vast assemblage on board two steamers engaged for the occasion, and the beautiful State barge of Styles's late of the Goldsmiths' Company. The races were started with great punctuality, and gave the utmost satisfaction. Bands of music played in every direction, and everyt hi ng around presented a gay and animated appearance. The Amuo.ur Scullers' Match was won by G. P. Ed. wards. The Junior Scullers' Match was won by Mr. Cadogan. The Four -oared Match by the Petrel Club. The Double.scullers' Prizes—a number of purses given by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland—by Smith and Marriner, Turner and Gadney, T. Mackinney and Higley, and Platt and Coxon, who severally belonged to four different districts ; and a race succeeded amongst purse, which above-named, as won t by the respective winners, for another T partner.

The Rev. G. C. Gorham has addressed the follow ing letter to the reverend " Rural" of this deanery : ~, The Vice rage, Brampford Speke, June 10, 1851. Rev. Sir,—You inform me that a meeting of the ruri decanal chapter of Cadbury, will be held at Cadbury on Thursday, the 12th i nst, l4 to deliberate on the matters to be con s id ere d at the diocesan synod, and to elect two representatives at the synod from this deanery." Even were that synod legal and expedient (on both of 'a hich points I entertain serious doubts), there does not exist any precedent for constituting that body an elec tive, and consequently, a representative assembly, so tar as I am aware, and I have looked into the subject with some carefulness. Mr. STUART objected to the powers given to the Commissioners, which made them both prosecutors and judges. The rights and privileges of the electors were disregarded; and the Attorney and Solicitor-General in supporting the Bill were acting in a manner utterly op. posed to the opinions of Lord Denman and Sir R. Peel, as expressed upon similar occasions. All he wished for was fair play, and an assurance that none but guilty persons should suffer, and that every person s h ou ld h ave the oppo r t un i ty of defending himself. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 3,4, 5,6, 7,8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, were then agreed to. The remaining clauses were also agreed to, and the pre3table having been aseented to, the Chairman was adeirTechteeditiootrir r r e t s t u h m e e L d ii , ll to the House. and the Chairman reported c° rdingly, and the Bill was ordered to be printed as amended. 1 With thiS ;fe w — of the assumed authority which you, and the cler g y men w h o may meet toget h e r at Cadbury, propose to ex erc i se , I must not on l y d ec line, as a bene ficed presbyter of this diocese, attending your run decanal chapter to vote for re presentatives, but I must dolem o ly protest against such a proceeding, as tending to subvert ecclesiastical order, and to create division and discord at a period when union and hsrmony are pecu liarly desirable.-1 am, Sir, yours faithfully, G.

The Sergeant at-Arms reported that John Strutt and Charles Cunningham, the parties who hid presented a fictitious petition against the return of the Member for Aylesbury, were in attendance. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that they be brought to the bar for the purpose of being reprimanded and then discharged. He made this motion with the sanction of the Committee who had investigated this ,matter, and who th3ugtet the parties seted oa they did through error. DIRECT CHICHESTE R AND PORTSMOUTH RAILWAY.

It was a mistake however, for keeping up the roads. Those expenses should, ,og oat she bowie wag eitaer for a beer than to y__ be included in the vote for the future. than Lori: DUNCAN said, his Noble Friend must be MiSP i taken upon one point, fur it appear: d from the report of the Uemminsiuners of Weeds end Forests last year, that the expenses in Richmond Park bad amounted to not less than 5,174/. Colonel SIBTHORP took occasion to allude to the Exhibition, to which he continued to entertain the most decided objection. He detested everything that robbed the fair tradesmen. He had to add that ho never had been in the Exhibition, nor had ever been even near it. Mr. HUME said he was at a loss to account for the sum of 1,480/ for " the department of the ranger." He was also unable to understand how an outlay of 3,0001. had been incurred in Hyde-park. He knew of no recent work in the park except the erection cf the marble arch; and he believed that the expenditure in question could not have been incurred under that head. Lord DUNCAN paid he wished to repeat his ques tion—Why Richmond-park, Bushey-park, and Hampton Court park had not been included in Ale vote? To that question he had received nu answer. Ho found that 5,174/. had been expended last year on Richmond-park, and 2,699/. on Bushey and Hampton Court-parks. Was he to understand that no expense whatever was to be incurred in those parks in the course of the present Year? And if such expense was to he incurred why had not the amount been included in the vote? Lord SEYMOUR said that these estimates had been prepared from the Bill which had been presented to Pe; liament last year, and in which those parks bad not been included. But when he had further considered the subject, he had dee-rmined on including them in the Bill of the present year, and on piecing them in the estimate fur the future.. With reeard to the sum of 1,4804 for ranger's department he h h ad to observe, that the ranger received nothing for himself, end that sum was divided amone the gate-lc, epers and other persons to whom pay ments were made through the rat ger. Ho had further to state, that the expense in Hyde-park had been in curred, not for erecting tie marble-arch, but tor widen ing the road near the Se, I.entine, and for the purchase of iron -railings. Iron was at present cheap, and es many of the wooden railings had become old and useless, he had thought it advisable to is place them by ridings of a more durable material. Lord DUNCAN said that the answer he had received to his question was not a satisfactory one. The Bill in troduced last year had been abandoned tow ads the diet e of the session ; and he confessed that r othing Mani g to that Bill had surprised him more then the omissitn of Richmond, Bushey, and Hampton C. trt Parks from its provisions. He wished to know from what quarter his Noble Friend intended to take the money for thet - penditure of thos e p ar k s, i f any expend i ture should be necessary. Did hi s N o b le Friend mien to ta k e i t out of the land rev enue , w hi ch did not come uuder the notice of Parliament? Lord SEYMOUR said he proposed hat the expenditure this year should be taken out of the land revenue; but in future years it would be included in that vote. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know what was done With the sums paid for pasturage in the parks? Lord SEYMOUR said that those sums were Field ittO the Exchequer. Mr. HUME wished to receive some explanation with, respect to the su m of 2 ,347/. for improving the grot ad in the n e i g hb ourhood of Chelsea Hospital. Lord SEYMOUR said that the gardens at Chelsea, Hospital h a d l ate l y been thrown open to the public; and it was thought that it would be desirable to fill up the, canals and po o l s b etween the hospital and the river, an d then to improve and beautify the ground so reclaimed, and give the public free access to it. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that after the death of the late Governor of Chelsea Hospital he had written to the Duke of Wellington to state that it was the opinion of the Commissioners for the Management of the Woods and F orests t h at it would be desirable to throw the gardens of the hospital open to the public. The Nob e Duke had immediately acceded to that arrangement , and it had since been carried into effect. Mr. HUME expressed his approval of the arrange ment. • Colonel SIBTHORP said that a sum of 4,5001. MO been granted specially for meeting the expense of re moving the marble arch, He wished to know whether that sum had covered the cost of the removal? Lord SEYMOUR said that all the expense of the removal of the marble arch had been defrayed out of the sum stated by the Hon, and Gallant Member. Mr. HUME said he thought the Noble Lord deserved the highest credit for the mode in which be had ar ranged that matter. In his opinion the marble arch was very ornamental in its present situation, and all the sur rounding portion of the park had been very considerably improved.—(Hear.) Colonel SAL W EY said that as the road from Pimlico to the Stableyard in St. James's had been opened for private carriages, he would suggest that it should be opened for hackney coaches and cabs also. He believed that many persons would find that arrangement a very convenient one. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said it appeared that the cost of maintaining 2 000 acres of parka amounted to not leas than 32 640/ a year; and he certainly thought that was an excessive Expenditure, Colonel SAL WEY said he hoped his suggestion with respect to the opening of the road between Pimlico and the Stableyard of St. James's to the public generally would receive the must favourable consideration. Lord DUNCAN said that if that suggestion were adopted he trusted that the additional expense whtat would thereby be incurred would not be thrown upon 111 land revenue, but that it would be included in the mi. mates brought be'ore the House. Mr. HUME said he thought that what the public generally paid for ought to be open to the public get e rally.—( Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not think it would be desirable to open the road in question to cabs and om nibuses. Colonel SALWEY did not want to have it open to omnibuses. Lard J. RUSSELL could not see why omnibuses should be exclude" from the road any more than cabs, if it were to be op“ni-d to the public generally. Colonel SAL WEY only asked for the same indulgence in that case which had been granted in the case of the Bird Cage-walk, where cabs, but not omnibuses, were allowed to pass. . The vote was then aereed to. A vote of 3,529/. having been proposed for the hire of temporary Committee•rooms, cod for the temporary residences of officers of the House. Mr. HUME said he saw that a sum of 1,2001. was charged for warning and ventilating the House of Com mons, and a similar sum for cleaning it. Now he could not help thinking that these were excessive charges. Mr. EWAR ?said he believed they should continue to pay a lar ge sum f ur cleaning the Huse as long as they had it warmed from beneath the flior instead of from above it. The House of Lords was warmed from above, and there was therefore no expense there for cleaning. Mr. BRIGHT said it appeared to him that a sum of 500/. a year was an excessive one for the rent of a house for their clerk. He believed there were many gentlemen of large fortune who occupied less expensive houses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be believed it would be difficult to obtain a turteshed house in the vicinity of the Houses of Parliament for less than 5004 a year. The vote was then agreed to. The vote of 3,5291. for the temporary accommcdaticn of the two Houses of Parliament was agreed to. On the vote of 116,3854 for the works of the new Houses of Parliament, Viscount I ) UNCAN asked why they had not sat in their new House since the Whissun recess, as bad been expected; and if there was any prospect at all of their over sitting there? Tne CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would be desirable to have one or two sittings in the new House in order to see bow the arrangements had been made; b u t he did not ant i cipate that they would be able to occupy it during the present session. Mr. HUME said if his advice had been listened to five years ago, and Mr. Barry removed, the House would have baen finished by this time. For his own part, he had abandoned all hope. Roofs seemed to be put up only for the purpose el' being taken down again, and the architect had set them at defiance. But he blamed the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Go. vernnaeet, fur it Ras they who were responsible. ?hey and money, would have expend, d very ',early and there would nut be an apartment in the whole build ing fit for the purpose for which it was designed. In every Committee-room they would be obliged to con struct a new roof; and thus make an eetregol, or ii would be impossible to bear. Were they to be treated like children by one individual, who had shown such utter incapacity ? Every day somethin g ne w was started, and unless they got rid of Mr. Ber-aiy would have n- chanc e of seeing the works finished for the next four years. The CHANCELLOR nied th at of the EXCHEQUER de he was q way for the bu Id cin,gro• t.h.e.workano-f Pmrlireeruspe7ts,iwblheo appointed a c which st ti ed the scheme and plan.

WMVN could not allow the Government to shift their legitint (to) responsibility en to a Committee. The vote was then agreed to. Tne vote of 7,0004 for a repository forpublic records was agr ee d to. p On the vote of 61,481/. for the new packet harbour and harbour of r. fuse at Ilolyfn tad, & e ., Colon e l DUNNE thought it extremely dobbtful whe ther Ouse we would answer the purpose for which they were intended. It was moreover stated on the au thority of some of the best engineers that it would take t rove 1 ,800,000/. to 9 ,000 0001. to complete the harbour. No doubt it would answer as a packet station; but was it prudent to incur such cost when it was extremely doubt. ful whether af , er all it could be made available as a na t . hour of refuge? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not know how more pains could have been taken to as certain the fitness of the situation. The n and tw o been Inver:floated by three or four Commissions and two three Committees, and the result, if their inquiries was a unanicricus recommendation of the plan, which h a d since be en acte d upon .

Ile believed that the works were go i ng on in a very satisfactory manner; and, as tar as they had gone, were rather below than above the estimate. Mr. F. FRENCH sad the merchants of Liverpool objected to the formation of a harbour of refuge at that point. For his own part, be confessed he thought that those who represented Irish constituencies were particu larly interested in the question ; for he believed that this scheme was hol.terA up by certain parties to deprive Ireland of the natural advantages which she possessed as a point of departure for America.
