A short discussion followed, in the course of which Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr. MANGLES expressed their readi ness to substantiate every charge they had made ; and the latter Hon. Gentleman designated the Colonial De partment as a plague and a nuisance. Sir R. PEEL had no wish to force on a discussion on the general question, but his Noble Friend, at the head of the Colonial Department, having been accused of bad faith, was desirous that the House should not separate for the recess until he had an opportunity of vindicating himself. Mr. HimlE and Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that the charge against the Colonial Government should be taken on a Government night, and the charge against Lord STANLEY personally shotild be taken separately on a motion night ; and on Mr. G. W. HOPE repeating his expectation of being able to bring on the matter on Tuesday, the conversa tion dropped. Various questions were then asked; after which the House went into Committee on the Sugar Duties Bill. Mr. HAwEs moved " that provision be made in the Bill for the drawback of the amount of the duty re duced, on such duty-paid sugar as now remains in the QUEEN'S warehouse." After some discussion, Sir ROBERT PEEL stated that there would be, he thought, no objection to allow " upon sugar in bond a drawback equivalent to the actual loss sustained. With this announcement Mr. HAwES expressed him self satisfied and withdrew his motion. Several other amendments were subsequently pro posed, all of which were lost ; and the Bill eventually passed through Committee. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'Clock. We have received a copy of the "Address of the Equitable Debtor and Creditor Association to the Members of the Trading and Mercantile Interests," the object of which appears to be to induce the great community of the latter to join the "tyrant inaloity" of the former in a very determined crusade against those worst of modern infidels, the men who run in debt. To say the truth, at the outset, we hare not often perused a document less marked by evidences of a Christian spirit of charity for the unfortunate, or of common equity in considering the relations between those who have fallen, and those who maintain their places, in our social system. Indeed we do not remem ber to have once stumbled, in passing through sixteen well-filled octavo pages in which the " Address" is composed, on the words "charity" and "misfortune. After announcing that the addressers, "being men in trade," have an " entire and practical knowledge of the evils under which they now labour in conducting their business"—which may be supposed likely enough—" and of the legislative remedies those evils require"—a fact much more problematical, they observe, that " for thirty years last past successive Acts of Parliament have passed hostile to the interests of the creditor." They omit to notice the converse of this allegation—that for centuries before the statute-book had been loaded with "Acts of Par liament" hostile to the interests of the debtor. There are other omissions of essential facts, tending towards conclusions very different from those which the " Ad dress" endeavours to establish, which we can readily ac count for. The party or parties who have framed this document appear to have been so completely preoccu pied by sensitiveness to the supposed peril of their own immediate interests under the present state of the law, that they could entertain no considerations which did not lean, like the trees for many miles in the vicinity of Liverpool, all in one- direction. For the same reason, too, they rest their whole case on premises which have reference to the wrongs of tradesmen exclusively, not to those of the commercial classes, who are included merely in the superscription of the "Address." This is a species of egotism which we have often noticed in the constituency of the addressers. The course of Government on great national questions—the policy of the measures it may have adopted in vindication of the national honour — the ultimate results of so vast a disturbing action as that of the Reform Bill—these are always put in the same category with a proposition for repealing the small receipt stamp duty, or the duty on rice. " The" question with every tradesman, and the only one he ever dreams of in connexion with any measure of the kind, is—" Will it make good for trade?" An Emperor dies, and there is a court mourning here, and there are sanguinary tumults, with fearful violence, elsewhere. The court mourning goes down to the credit of the event; the consideration for the mass of human misery which accompanies it appears nowhere on his books. A man like RoMILLY, or BUXTON, passes out of existence : there is no court mourning, but a voice of lamentation from the friend less, the indigent, and oppressed. His death, however, does not " make good for trade," and on that account is " not" a matter of congratulation with the thrifty London trader. Eight hundred thousand of our fellow-creatures, negro slaves in our West Indian colonies, are, by a magnificent act of retributive justice and British magnamity, set free in a single day. Eight hundred thousand human beings spring, at a bound, from the lowest depths of social degra dation to the status and relations of freemen—a noble spectacle, worthy of a festival holiday in its honour to be celebrated by all the races of civilised mankind in all time to come. In London it was difficult to show that this mighty manumission " would make good for trade ;" and on that account no entries are to be found in its day-book or in its ledger to record this proceeding as matter for con gratulation. It is really pleasant to contemplate the emotions of resentment with which the Address adverts to the statutes that have ameliorated the severity of the old penal law against debtors. " This hostility consiste in the furnishing of increased facilities to the debtor to get rid of what is mildly and tenderly termed his difficulties.'" Of course these could not possibly be the result of " his misfortunes." These latter-day evils of mitigation are attributed, among other causes, to the Insolvent Debtors' Court, the abolition of arrest on mesne process, and Lord Buotionam's late Act " until, at length, the creditor is left without any power" ! !—(there are no writs, no judgments, no ex ecutions, no costs, no imprisonments, now, then ?) " and lays (lies) entirely at the mercy of his debtor." That is, we suppose, the debtor can proceed against his creditor for giving him credit, and only abstains from so doing as an act of mercy ! " Formerly the debtor was at the mercy of his creditor." Now, there's the rub. Why should the Legislature have ever taken away from the creditor the useful and delicious powers of ingeniously tormenting ? Alas, for the good old times when a creditor was armed, like a cat, with strong legal talons and unescapable eyes, anal paws and mouth, to frighten, toss, worry, agitate, wound, mutilate, and destroy his victim, for his wholesome sustenance, as well as fur his pleasure and amusement! In 1845 we could not have anticipated that one hand would be raised again, as it is here, stealthily, in favour of the arrest on mesne process, and that we should hear a Jeremiad over the days that are gone of swarming prisons, with broken-hearted unfortunates herded up together with fraudulent and felonious swindlers, knaves, and cheats. Why, we know that in the eighteen months subse quent to the peace of December, 1825, produced by one of the many convulsions which Sir R OBERT PEen's Currency Bill of 1819 has already occasioned, and, alas ! is still destined to generate; no less than 101,000 writs for debt were issued from the Courts in England alone. Is it to this wise and humane and politic state of things that this " Equitable" As sociation would desire to force the country back ? \V know that in the year ending sth of January, 1830, to the several prisons of London alone, 7114 persons had been committed for debt, of %%limn 1547 on that day were still confined. Is this the standard number of hecatombs which the Association's pro pensity to victimize would still demand? The As sociation seems to rely for a confirmation of its amiable views on a very foolish speech attributed to Mr. Commissioner EvANs, who, if ever he pronounced it, was guilty of a strange excess of judicial indecorum so to express himself of the very Act of Parliament, the provisions of which he was sitting expressly to administer. The spirit in which the address is con ceived may be further inferred from this passage : " The workhouse has been rendered as repulsive as possible, to induce persons to support themselves by their own industry and conduct; but the Insolvent Courts have been rendered as attractive as possible to people in difficulties ;" and then comes the ugly argu- * ) -2% • ftv .V. • , ' • t., .„.-, • • -,ECOND EDITION. v.;.AJA,411:1141 LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1845. The House of Lords met et Five o'Clock. In consequence of the continued indispcsition of the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of AlLvro post poned his motion on the subject of the naval force at Otaheite, after the Easter holidays. The Fresh Water Fish (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. —„-- Lord BnocanAm stated that he did not intend to in troduce the Bill of which he had given notice on a pre ceding, evening, on the subject of the non-free traders of the city of London, and moved for a return of the number of non-freemen admitted to the freedom during the year ending April 1544. - The Earl of ROSSLYN gave notice that, on Tuesday, he should put a question to the Government, on the sub ject Of their ieter.tions with regard to the Scotch bank ing system. The .L2wi.,11 11-, , lief Bill was then read a third time and passe?, afttr a short but energetic :perch in its favour by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and the House adjourned. The House of Commons met at twelve, and immedi ately went into Committee on the Railway Clauses Con solidation 13111. _ The Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be rep - )rtod at twelve o'clock on Monday. The House then went into Committee on the Land Clauses Consolidation Bill. The Bill passed through Committee, and the House adjourned to Five o'clock. On the re -assembling of the House, The SJI-ICITJR•GEtiERAL gave notice of his intention to move for leave to brig in a Bill for the protection of property in the British Museum, and other public places. On the motion of Mr. WAELEY the petition from Finsbury, on the sub eet of Post-office espionage, was ordered to he printed. Mr. G. W. iiOPE gave notice that, on Tuesday, he THE SUN, LONDON, SATTJRDA Y EVENING, MARCH l5, 1845, citement. A correspondent, who writes from Zurich, on the 9th, gives the following remarks made by some of the speakers: --- u M. Kera, the deputy for Thurgau, was the first who alluded to the subject. He said that the communication was, to say the least of it, strange, considering that the French Ministry must have been perfectly aware that the instructions given to the deputies relative to the corps francs, are almost unanimous in favour of the suppression adult force. M. Drouey, the deputy for the canton of Vaud, went into a lengthened examination of the dispatch, which lie considered as a direct intervention on the part of the French Government in the internal affairs of the Confederation, which ought to rouse the feelings of the country. M. Neuhaus, the Deputy for Berne, also considered the dispatch as an insult to the Swiss nation, and an unwarrantable interference on the part of a foreien Government. Ho demanded of M. Mounson, the President, what anewer he had made to the note. The President replied, that no one was more anxious than he was to repel anything that could militate against the liberty and independence of the nation; but he would not allow his anxiety to respect the susceptibility of his countrymen to go so far as to compromise their relation with foreign Powers who were friends and allies of Switzerland, by misconstruing the intentions of those Powers in lending their advice. The Deputy for Bide accused the Jesuit party of having begged the dispatch from the French Government as a means of de feating their adversaries. This accusation was strongly re pelled by the Jesuit party, and especially the deputy for Neufchatel, who said that the position of those with whom he acted was a painful one, because, though disapproving of the conduct of their adversaries, they could not avoid being in some degree involved in the severe censures which that con duct had drawn upon the whole Confederation. The Diet then took up the question of the corps francs, and after a long iiscussion the subject was referred to the same Committee as has already been appointed to consider the question of the Jesuits." The Gazette de Basle draws the following comparison between Lord ABERDEEN'S note and M. GUIZOT'S : " Whilst the former breathes sentiments of kindly feeling towards the Confederation, although England is less inte rested in Swiss affairs than France, the note from M. Guizot is, on the contrary, in a decided tone, like a newspaper ar 'icle, and not like a diplomatic instrument. It contains lessons which are orders, notices which are threats, and is thus offensive. It must, however, be admitted, that it speaks 'lie truth in respect to the free corps. It is a great humilia tion to Switzerland to be told, that a country situate in the centre of European civilisation is not to be made the instru ment of barbarian anarchy. As the disturbances of the free corps may be said to have been over, this note was no longer [ necessary." inent for the propriety of the new legislation which the association deprecate so much. But it is said " That these increased facilities fur debtors getting out of their difficulties should have made creditors more cautious in giving credit ;" that" they have the power of withholding credit, and that if they will give credit, they must take the consequences." "It they will give credit?" Why, they must give credit. Busi ness could not go on a single day without givinc , credit, and the general stoppage of further credit woad bring the whole country to a stand. There is a vast number of tradespeople who cannot be ready-money men. Men whose labour must be completed on certain materials before they can ask for their money. To say to such people "You must not give credit "—is equivalent to saying " You must do no more work ;" and t o sa y to the shopkeeper, "You must not give credit," is equal to saying to him, " You must close your shop." The fact is that credit must be given and taken from the highest to the lowest; from peers of the realm down to peasants so the plough. Very well. If this excessive credit be essential ti the present extent of trading, give it. But don't let tradesmen insist, on the one hand, on the necessity oi continuing an admitted evil practice, that they excuse on the plea of its being essential to their suc cess and prosperity ; and on the other, ask the Legis lature for heavy penalties on those on whose head the accommodation afforded by this practice turns out to be actual loss, instead of the contem plated profit of the tradesman who has given it When we read the list of the members of this Society, we pictured to ourselves, in reference to their trades and addresses, sleek oilmen, in Bishopsgate-stre7t, portly leather sellers, wealthy ironmongers, ruddy salesmen, &c. &c., of Thames street, Milk-street, Newgate- market, &c. But we soot! found our error. At p. 11 we learned they were but " shadows of their former selves," mere walking anato mies ; their natural fluids exhausted, or replaced by the atrabilious secretions consequent on bad debt! and worthless schedules. " All these legal evil: combine to giving credit—and yet credit must be given—precarious ; and to make the life of t tradesman a corrosion of core—and the conduct o• business anxious and perplexing in the extreme." \V, had prepared other extracts from this paper; but i is hardly needful to press further such self.evi dent and post-dated appeals from the lab decrees of the Legislature to the angry ant nterested passions of one class of the community, ,vith a view to reinforce the absolute severity of the A Bill has been brought into the French Chamber of Deputies to prevent electors from voting in arrondisse ments where they do not pay at least 50f. of direct taxes. The law at present allows electors paying 200 f. to choose - he college in which they are to exercise their right of voting, and the opponents of the measure consider this perfectly in accordance with the object for which a De puty is returned to the Chamber. The Conservatives, on the other hand, for the Bill is brought in by them, contend that it is not just to allow voters the privilege of turning the scale of victory in a college with which they :lave not the slightest connexion ; and that some amount .)f taxes ought to be required to prevent such an abuse. The general discussion closed on Wednesday, but [lone of the Ministers had spoken on the motion. At the commencement of the sitting, the Minister of law upon another. The "remedial" propositions t( be pressed on Parliament include one for taking th, cognizance of all debts for sums over 201., and no' above 1001., from her MAJESTY'S Courts at Westmin ster, and giving this jurisdiction to the Sheriff! The Property and Income-tax Renewal Bill ha assed the House of Commons. AU that could hav, Public Works presented a Bill for a vote of 80,000,000 f. (3,200,0001.) for improvi►:g river navigation, and espe cially the Yonne, Seine, Sarthe, and Mayenne. It is proposed to make a canal along the Marne between Join idle and Vitry, for the purpose of linking the ironworks A' the Upper Marne to the groat navigable line of the Marne, to the Rhine, and the Paris market. The plan also contains a proposition for another canal, that of the navigation of the Upper Garonne, and for establishing on he height of Lannemezan, from which there are nume rous streams, a cluster of reservoirs for the purpose of rrigating the country. In the Chamber of Peers the .stimates were under consideration, when it appeared hat in a previous year, 1,500,000 f. had been voted 'or improving and fortifying the harbour of Algiers. One of the Members objected to the amount, but Baron CuartLEs DUPIN supported the vote, and regretted that it should be limited to such a small sum. Admiral e- been hypothetically urged against it on the argument derived from its inequality, its anticipation in peace of the resources which should have been preserved inviolate for the exigencies of war, the tendency of its operatiot. to repress exertion or industry both in material am, intellectual enterprises or occupations ;—all this ha• been ce,nceded by its Ministerial supporters—and the house of Commons have passed the measure without even dividing on the question of the passing. What ever objections could be sustained to the vexation anc inquisitorial nature of the machinery, by which alone it has hitherto been possible to assess or to collect it ; tt the lowness of the point or extremity at which the amount of income liable to pay this impost shall commence; to th. hardship of that liabilityon the recipient of 1501. per annum, from %N hick the recipient of 149/. 193. 11d., or any lessee sum per annum, is wholly exempt ; to the gross injus lice of mulcting, in the same proportion, the income al ready below the demands of the most modest, or eves needy household, and the incomes of many superfluous thousands ;—all these have been taken, discussed, an(' overruled. Yet the Bill has passed the House of Corn mons. The Premier, when he first brought the schem, forward three years ago, admitted that any tax was a' evil. It has been admitted since, by his own partisan and colleagues, that this tax has about it all that evi. which belongs to a severe impost, without even taking into account these aggravations of them to which wb have just referred. And yet it has been adopted by 01( Commons after defeating, in the most signal manner, every proposition for its amendment and modification, however reasonable or equitable it might be. But 11AcKau, after supporting the grant, said, the works at :11giers were now in such a state that the place could re ,ist with advantage any attack on the sea side. The leading articles in the journals relate chiefly to the dote of M. GuizoT addressed to the Swiss Diet. The Opposition papers denounce it vehemently, and contrast it mfavourably with that of Lord ABEIIDXEN, which they praise for its moderation. Iu rererence to this sub iact the Journal des Debuts says : " This is the note, equally discreet and firm, which the journal of M. Thiers, carried away no doubt by its recollec- tions of the last campaign in the East, calls a hatti sheriff; a oisir's ordonnance. While it is the vein of figurative-lan guage, the Constitutionnel permits itself to go so far as to say that M. Guizot treats the Swiss as a Pacha would treat •roops of infidels, or a Tartar a tributary race of people. Chia criticism ou the note of the French Government would not hare been complete, had not the Constitutionnel added its eulogy upon the note of the British Government, and exalted the moderation, reserve, and politeness of Lord Aber been, in order to thrown out with greater prominence the harshness and arrogance of M. Guizot. Leaving to the Constitutionnel the full enjoyment of its oriental style, we thall content ourselves_withfillringlifilaiißLACitile&hg true character wnlchDa B t. as W o r . e s g h a a r l d l sbtehgei effects wi t h a o ffi n rn tee ng ge th ne a r tlo p r o d lic A y b o e f rdeen, as Europefir that would be the result of any change in the constitution Switzerland, speaks in a manner fully as significative as A. Guizot; and if the English Minister does lot express liimself in equally explicit terms cn the subject of the free :orps, it is from the simple reason that this question touches France much more closely than it does England. In the dfairs_of Switzerland, France has interest in common with the last debate elicited certain other acknowledgments of inherent defects and vices in the working o' this tax which make it almost incredible that even on Wednesday night, at the eleventh hour, a Sir ROBERT PEEL or Mr. GOULBURN would say—el the penultimate proposition of the third reading—os even the final question "that the 13111 do pass"---soLur vigorous stand should not have been made on the pars of some independent Members for the institution o searching inquiry into the matters which had then beet brought under their notice. What were these ? There was, first, the strongl3 propounded hypothesis of Sir ROBERT INGLIS—the inti mate and confidential friend, supporter, ally, of tin Premier especially, and of his . Government generally— •' that the income-tax was meant to be perpetual." Thi hypothesis was neither denied, nor objected to, by tin Government or by the Premier. If ever " silence gives consent," the inference is irresistible under such circum stances as these.

The Duke DE BROGLIE, it appears, has postponed his departure for London to hold a conference with Dr. LUSIIINGTON relative to the right of search. On this subject the Const:tutionnel says :—" Two systems are -spoken of for the arrangement of this difficult question —one would consist in the establishment of mixed crui- - , ers, placed at the entrance of rivers, and in the ordi nary rendezvous of slave vessels, and the reciprocal right of search between English and French ships would be suspended ; the other would consist in two means of putting down the slave trade ; first, the destruction of the slave establishments founded on some points of the :• asec c ° m lld t il.Y he coast who carry on the slave a declaration of war against dl 2d s e t ." of A eg fr o i This a chiefs journal obje c t s t o b ot h s y s t ems; but there r ° thenr 's nothing to show that either will form the basis of the 1 approaching conference. The following are miscella ueous extracts from the papers : The Gt.:cite des Trdninaux says " We understand that warrants were issued on Tuesday against several of the persons who took part in the meeting in which M. Dujarrier, the responsible editor of the Presse, was killed. We take this opportunity of declaring that it was by an error we designated MM. Grainier de Cassagnac and Solar as seconds of one of the parties. These two gen. tlemen had nothing to do with this deplorable affair." Two new articles have just been added to the postal treaty between Franco and Great Britain. They have or object—l. To place the post-office of Boulogne in iirect correspondence with the post-office at Folkestone, ay means of the private steamers between the two ports. 2. To regulate the transit through France of the letters, paid or unpaiJ, from Great Britain and her colonies and possessions for the kingdom of Greece.

Member for Oldham, whose name is associated with a 1 recollections that are honourable to the integrity of the bead of a vast manufacturing concern, and the extensive charity of a capitalist whom prosperity has never made oblivious of the humbler beginnings from whencs it has raised him. It may be remembered that three years ago the Messrs. FXELDEN protested agains the assessment which had bten made upon then, in respect of income from the profits of theie e,tablishment. They demurred to the assessmen on the very reasonable ground that, upon an averag , *of the three years on which the assessment was to be taken, their works had been car rind on at a loss, instead of any profit. After a fruitless correspondence, the pre test was overruled, and their property was distrainer upon for the original assessment. Since this, the Loca' Commissioners have thought proper to assess the profit. of their concern at 24,000/. per annum—an assessmem which, it may be imagined, they at once disputed. The Local Commissioners, finding",that Messrs. FIELDEN in tended to resort to the means of legal appeal against their assessment, requested Mr. JOHN FIELDEN to alloe the matter to stand over till after the ensuing Easter quarter. He did so ; and in the meantime they hair( actually claimed, and propose to enforce the assessment on profits of 24,000 L a year, in the face of the same par ties' declaration to a similar effect as that made by them in the first instance. Mr. WAKLEY might well severe]) animadvert on this proceeding. It was distinguished alike for its bad faith, its insolence, and its inquisitorial oppressiveness. The Chancellor w the Exchequer's answer was—like the answers of Sit ' JAMES GRAHAM and Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, on all questions addressed to them in respect of the gross mis conduct of Government functionaries of any kind :—" The Chancellor of the Exchequer knew nothing about the case. It was the first time he had heard of it." Doubt less. So trivial a matter as the assessment of profits at 24,0001 a year, where the parties were prepared to show they had worked rather to a loss than any profit at all, had no pretensions of gravity sufficient to disturb the epicurean reps° of the gods of Downing-street. Be this as it may, Mr. GOULBURN'S :answer was ready and conciliatory to a singular degree. " li the Local Commissioners were in error, it was to be re gretted that Mr. FIELLEN had not personally waited on the Chief Commissioners under the Act in London, who would have given hiu; every assistance in getting it rec tified." A pretty dilated expression this " error, " it Mr. FIELDEN'S complaint be well grounded ; for such an outrageous and fraudulent proceeding as the assessment in such case amounts to on the part of the Local Com missioners. The remedy, too, so simple. Mr. FIELDEN would have only to come up from his "dear, native vale of Todmorden," as we have heard him call it—florn one extremity of Lancashire to the capital, in Middlesex—to obtain that justice which it has been sometimes con t• nded, "is virtually to be had at every man's door.' Yet even this case does not so powerfully illustrate the intolerable and unconstitutional operation of such a sys tem of taxation as the very significant fact distinctly stated by Mr. BRIGHT, that the most shameful cases of arbitrary and excessive assessment occurred in the coun try, owing to the Income-tax Commissioners, in many instances the same individuals as the land-tax or taller Commissioners of the district, who, from that position, often exercised their power to annoy and over charge in the most unscrupulous manner their rivals in trade or their opponents in politics. Yet still this Bill has passed—we might have almost said, unanimously— the House of Commons. Is there any hope of getting its odious injustice modified, at least, elsewhere ? ..1164 .. 625 ▪ 393 ••1140 • 964 . 637 50 395 1165 ..13j0 336 25 - 630 392 ~ 960 • 1290 . 3625 DEATH OF THE HON. Miss Fox.—The Hon. Miss Fox, only sister of the late Lord Holland, expired at half past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, at Little Holland House, Kensington. The deceased was eldest child and only daughter of the second Lord Holland, by his marriage with Lady Mary Fitzpartrick, daughter of John, first Earl of Upper Ossory, and was born 3d et' November, 1767, and con sequently was in the 78th year of her a,,e. By her demise the families of the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, Viscount and 'Viscountess Lilford, Lord and Lady Holland, Colonel and Lady Mary. Fox, the Dowager Lady Holland, the Countess of Kerry, the Earl and Countess of Shelburne, &c., are placed in mourning. The Hon. Miss Fox was niece of the Right Hon. Charles James Fox, the distinguished Whig statesman. In a paragraph relative to the severity of the weather, which appeared yesterday, it was stated that the highest point which the thermometer n ached, in the course of 'llursday, was 35. The number should have been 21. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening Mr. Joseph Payne, Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholo mew's llospital, on the body of Dederick Merlin, aged 35, a commercial traveller, in the employ of Messrs. Pritchard, wholesale tobacconists, of London-wall. It appeared that the deceased, on Thursday week, was returning from Stratford, in a light chaise-cart, in which was alas a youth. Upon reaching the Mile-end-road, the cart came in contact with an omnibus, proceeding in the contrary direction. The two vehicles struck with such violence that both deceased and the youth were thrown out. The latter escaped with very slight, if any, injury ; but the deceased, upon being picked up, was found to be perfectly insensible. He was taken to the above hospital, where he died on Thursday last. Verdict—Accidental death. The accounts from Zurich are to the 10th instant. %hen the Diet was still sitting. The note of M. G UIZOT had caused much excitement among the Liberal Members, who regard it as put forth in aid of the Jesuits rather than for the purpose of calming the ex- THIS DAY'S NEWS. DARTMOUTH ELECTION COM MITTEE.—(THIS DAY.) The Committee sat this day at eleven o'clock, pursuant to adjournment. The CHAIRMAN announced that it was the wish of the Committee that that part of the petitioner's case, founded upon the allegation that the sitting Member -was a Government contractor, should be closed before any other point could be considered. Mr. W. Prout, the town-clerk of Dartmouth, was then called, and he proved that Mr. Somes had been a candidate,. had addressed the electors, and was elected, &c. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM then proposed to close this past of the case, and sum up upon it. The CHAIRMAN said he considered it would be better and mere convenient to all parties to close the whole of the evi dence first. The room was then ordered to be cleared, and upon our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee had come to a resolu tion to the effect that, as there appeared to be some misap prehension amongst the counsel for the petitioner and the sitting Member as to the rules the Committee had adopted, they would not object to counsel summing up on the branch of the case that had been closed; but this should not apply to any other allegation. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM wished to know, if his Learned Friend Sergeant Kinglake, were now to suns up, would he be precluded fiom entering upon the allegation of bribery? The CHAIRMAN said, that one of the first rules of the Com mittee was not to allow any other allegation to be gone into without a special application to the Committee. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE then proceeded to sum up. He said he would be very brief indeed in his observations, for he had only to contend that it had been clearly proved that a case of disqualification had been made against Mr. Somes; and he (Mr. Kinglake) hoped to be able to satisfy the Corn mittee that not only was Mr. Somes disqualified at the time he was elected, but that it was utterly impossible for him to have got rid of that di qualification. He believed that the undisputed facts in this were, first, that Mr. So:nes was a ship owner in the month of December, 1844, and that he had also been engaged in Government contracts at the time. Certain charter parties had been produced before the Committee, in which persons of the name of Lackland and M'Leod appeared as contractors. It was true that these persons were the contractors under the Admiralty in law ; but then Mr. Somes would still be disqualified, unless it was made apparent that those parties did not hold those ships in trust for him. The charter party said that it was executed for and on behalf of the owner, and he (Mr. Kinglake) would insist that Mr. Somes was the legal and equitable owner of those vessels on the 27th of December, 1844, though he made an attempt to get rid of the ownership on the 17th of December, 1844. The Learned Counsel then read sec tions from different Acts of Parliament, and opinions of various legal authorities, which, he contended, bore him out in his assertion that Mr. Somes was disqualified as the owner of those vessels, un less a release, of which he had heard something, should be produced from Messrs. Lackland and M‘Leod. He would also contend that, independent of Mr. Somes' owner ship in the vessels themselves, he was also the owner of articles for the use of those on board the ships, furnished by him and at his expense, and therefore those .articles were his property, and were on board those ships while they were at sea on the 27th December, 1844 ; and, therefore, that fact would disqualify him, for such was the law. The Learned Counsel opposite said they admitted that Mr. Semee was an owner of those ships at that time; if so, then that was his (Mr. Kinglake's) case, for it would be idle to attempt to divide the ownership into two parts, and say that, though Mr. Somes was the owner of one part or portion, he was not the owner of another. Then there was the additional fact, that in December, 1844, the Admiralty owed a debt of 50,0001. to Mr. Somes for services rendered by him through these ships, and under the charter party, and IN ithout the production of which the debt could not be recovered ; and this debt could not be assigned, for there could be no such thing as in assignment of a contract ; if there were, then the whole policy, the whole intent, the whole wisdom, and the purport and object of the Registry Act would be ren dered totally void and useless. With these observations he would conclude, again repeating that his case had been made out by the admission that Mr. Somes was the owner of those vessels in December, 1844 ; or that if there was an assignment at all, it was only a colourable transaction, done o effect a certain object.
