LAMBETH ELECTION. STATE OF TLIZ POLL. The returning officer for the borough having appointed eight o'clock yesterday morning for the commencement of the polling, the greatest exertions were made on behalf of all the candidates to bring their supporters to the poll, but it was quite apparent to all after the first hour's polling that Mr. Williams was tho most likely candidata to obtain the vacant seat. The following was the state of the poll: NINE O'CLOCK. Williams Napier Palmer ... 610 ... 189 ... 82 TEN O'CLOCK. Williams Napier Palmer ... 1,263 ... 425 ... 213 ELEVEN O'CLOCK. Williams ... 1,745 Napier Palmer cos 292 TWELVE O'CLOCK. Williams ... 2,141 Napier Palmer ... 741 ... 352 ONE O'CLOCK. Williams ... 2,616 ... 847 ... 407 Napier Palmer ••. ••• ••• TWO O'CLOCK. Williams ... 3,084 ~. 965 ~. 455 Napier Palmer ... ... ... THREE O'CLOCK. Williams Napier Palmer ... ... CLOSE OF THE POLL. ... 3,569 ... 1,039 ... 503 A large number of persons were assembled at four o'clock on Kennington-common to hear the final result of the poll. The official declaration, however, was fixed for to-day by the returning-officer, Mr. Onslow. Ace)rding to the calculation of Mr. Williams' com mittee the final state of the poll was as follows: Williams ... ... ... Napier ... ... ... Palmer ... ... Mijority for William 3 ... 3,960 ... 1,152 ... 553 - 2,508 Mr. WILLIAMS was present and addressed a few words of thanks to the electors assembled. He had given them a full exposition of his political principles, and as far as it at present appeared, they had approved of them and elected him as their Member; and he could assure them firmly that it should never be said that they had iLtroduced a man who had not carried out the principles he professed. He would not detain them longer than to express his gratitude for their exertions in the cause of liberty and the people.—(Cheers.) They must be aware that he and his committee would be fatigued with the labours of the last two or three days, and that would farm his excuse for leaving them. He would meet them there again to morrow at twelve o'clock, and ho bad no doubt that they would have to congratulate him as the Member for Lam beth.—(Cheers.) Neither of the other candidates were present. - 11L01:5-VY:E1 4 i'T-TO THE_LATE Dini A k OF CAMBRIDGE. MEETING AT THE MANSION•HOUSE. A public meeting numerously attended was held at two o'clock yesterday, in the Egyp•ian Hall, at the Minsion-house, " for the purpose of coesidering the best measures for carrying out the resolutions of the committee for erectint , to the memory of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Cambridge a monument com mensurate with his exemplary virtues, and in remem brance of the munificence, untiring exertions, and un wonted self-denial of that good Prince in the cause of the public charities of the United Kingdom." The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. Among the noblemen and gentlemen present upon the platform we observed—Earl Talbot, Lord Robert Gros venor, M.P., the Marquis of Granby, M.P., Sir Howard Douglas, Mr. B. B. Cahbel;, M.P., Mr. C. Cochrane, Mr. Harley,' of Drury-lane Theatre; Mr. J. G. Farrance, Mr. Christopher, M.P., Mr. Wm. Bennett, the Arch deacon of Waterford, Colonel Sir Edward Cast, Sir George Carroll, Mr. G. F. Anderson, M.P., Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, Mr. Under-Sheriff Wire, Mr. Richard Twining, jun., and many others. The Right lion. the LORD MAYOR, on taking the chair, briefly explained the object of the meeting. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR rose to propose the first resolution, which was as follows: " That this meeting deeply deplores the demise of his late Royal Highness the good Duke of Cambridge, a loss which must be felt as irreparable by the benevolent world; that among the many rare and noble virtues which distinguished that illustrious personage, the benignity of his disposition and affability of manner were strikingly conspicuous, endearing him to all who had the honour to approach him; that his conduct was equally characterised by the dignity of a Prince and the unaffecteu humility of a Christian; whilst his whole life and fortune were devoted to the protection and affectionate care of the ,ielt and the afflicted; more espe cially in instituting and upholding the varied and num berless charities of the metropolis►. Anxious to pay a tribute due to great moral worth, this meeting resolves on raising some permanent monument to the memory of the " good Duke of Cambridge," which, whilst it ne cooses a record of public sorrow at his death, of ad• miration and gratitude for his self-sacrifices in the cause of charity, shall serve as a guide and example to all who wish to become the benefactors of mankind." He said he never came f 'maid to perform a public duty with greater readinesss than he did on the present occa sion. —(Cheers.) They might have met to commemorate the virtues of a !Jerson who had run a more striking career, but he really would say thst he thought it hardly possible to consider the acts of a man who had conferred more last ing benefits on suffering humanity than the late Duke of Cambridge.—(Cheers.) He thought the public ought to recollect whs.-, was the possible career that was open to a Prince of the blood. If he had great abi lities, and a natural ambition and desire for power, how was he to give vent to it ? IF he took a part in public affairs as a Peer in Parliament ho could scarcely escape joining one of the political parties in the country; and if he did so he might possibly find himself in opposition to the Sove reign on the Throne, and whatever his discretion and prudence might be, he could scarcely hope to escape misrepresentation. He (Lord 1 bert Grosvenor) was quite sure the public would very little like to see acted over the Parliamentary scene which took place between 1812 and 1814, when they saw a Prince of the blood acting in dire,:t• opprrition - to his father. They must recollect therefore that under all those diiadvantages, and with every temptation. to spend a life comparatively speaking in retirement, his late Royal Highness could not consent to accept that alternative. Insteai of doing that, he sought out not certainly the most captivating of duties—that of attending to the hospitals and various charities with which this country fortunately abounded. But hie Royal Highness did not shrink from accepting that course; and thPre was really no humane or beneficent proposition emanating 'rom a respectable source which had not the warm and cordial support of his Royal Highness.—(Cheers.) Mr. B. B. CABBELL, M.P., seconded the resolution. He had no hesitation in saying that the illustrious Prince who had now left us could not have taken a more use ful or more acceptable ciurse than in supporting those charitable institutions which are the honour and glory of our land.—(Applause.) The resolution was then put from the Chair and car ried without a single dissentient. _ . The Marquis of GRANBY moved the next resolution:— " That, whilst the present endeavour to do justice to the memory of the Prince properly originated with those charitable institutions immediately benefited by his Royal Highness' liberality, the national feeling demands a participation in the honour of perpetuating so princely an example of Christian beneficence; it is therefore re solved, that a general subscription list be now opened to procure funds necessary to erect the monument referred to ; that the London bankers be requested to receive, and the secretaries of the metropolitan charities to collect subscriptions ; and that the following gentle men be invited to become treasurers :—J. Labouchere, Esq., B. Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., Samuel Gurney, E.q., and John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P. And farther, that a General Committee of Management be now formed, con sisting of the Provisional Committee and such gentlemen present, and others, as may he willing to aid by their personal co-operation." He (the Marquis of Granby) could reiterate the senti ment which had fallen f t om hi s N o bl e Friend (Lord Robert Grosvenor), and say th a t ho never was called on to perform a public duty with greater satisfaction then the present. He believed that no man ever breathed who- was so sincerely and so unselfishly desirous.of pro moting the welfare of all classes in this eountry—(A p _ lause)—but more especia l ly of th ose who , from no fault of their own, but from the accident of birth, or from some misfortune, were unable to relieve or help themselves, as his Royal Highness the late Duke of Cambridge. He believed also that no - man ever breathed whose life was more admired, whose virtees were more appreciated, and whose loss was more sincerely felt; and he (the Marquis of Granby) would venture to predict, that long after that oceesion had passed away, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge would live in the hearts and recollections of the people of England. Earl T4.LBOT, in seconding the resolution, said the late Duke of Cambridge, in all the public charities in this metropolis, was ever ready, not only with his purse, but with the influence which loliowed his exalted rank; and he (Earl Talbot) had reason to believe that there were numerous acts of charity which that ilitistrieuS Prince performed, and which were unknown except to himself.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. M. JOHNSON bore his testimony to the zeal shown by his Royal Highness to promote the Jewish charities in the metropolis. Mr. MoottE, the private medical attendant of his late Royal Highness, related instances of charity on the part of the deceased which had come within his knowledge.. The resolution was then put and earri.d unanimously. Mr. RICHARD TWINING, Jun., briefly proposed the next resolution, as f " That measures be taken to convene a public meeting, similar to the present, at Willis's Rooms, St. .Tames'; that his Royal Highness the Prince Albert be respect fully requested to preside on the oco,alion; and that a depatatio❑ do wait on his Royal Highness to solicit that hatwor." Lk/ Colonel Sir EDIT..II,D Cr,D - S in seconding the resolution, said the example which the late illustrious Prince had given was a great and eminent proof of the advantages we enjoyed under monarchical institutions, and of the benefit we derived from the illustrious family who reigned over us.—(Applause.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. CHRISTOPHER, M.P., moved, and Mr. Sheriff NI coLL seconded a vote of thanks to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor for granting the use of the Egyptian Hall, and presiding on the occasion. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR briefly acknow ledged the compliment. The following, among other subscriptions, were an nounced:— s.

We have again visited the above interesting exhi bition, and, from the satisfaction we have experienced o❑ our last visit, we are certainly of opinion that one short visit or two is not sufficient to see and fully appreciate the various curiosities and geological spe cimens collected by Mr. Cumming. This exhibition will well repay a second, or even a third inspection. And since Mr. Cumming has lately published his travels and adventures, we find that every akin, head, or tail in his museum has some interesting story or adventure connected with it, and thus the exhibition is rendered still more attractive. Some of his trophies, indeed, would be a great acquisition to the British Museum. One head in the room (and a very beautiful one too), that of the black antilope, we believe to be extremely rare, and have heard it re marked that Mr. Cumming's specimen is the finest in England. There are many other heads and antlers which may even vie with any in the National Mu seum. A trophy was pointed out to us as having at one time belonged to a certain hippopotamus, with whom Mr. Cumming facetiously remarked he had a " waltz." Waltzing, we have no doubt may be a very agreeable amusement, even in South Africa, but plain-going Cockneys, as we are, would not feel particulary anxious to have such a monster for our vis-a-vis in a dance. By the way there is a drawing in the room of the Terpsichorean feat to which we allude, and it struck us very forcibly that Mr. Cumming's way of " doing the amiable" to his partner, if not strictly in the present fashion, is at all events perfectly original ; and we may say, how ever, that it certainly would not do at Almack's, however agreeable it may be in the deserts of Africa. among such a number of specimens of one sort or another, it is quite impossible to direct , attentierr to "any ,•• particular. one,.but we,cannet pass Unnoticed two etioraillis.o44tnes,tuskg, which 'attract the attentions 'of a visitor immediately he enters the room. They are really splendid specimens, the largest, without exception, we have ever seen, and it must have re quired a man with no ordinary courage to have fought a single combat with their original owner, when he was able to use Such weapons effectually. But w ith courage Mr. Cumming must be endowed in an extraordinary degree. To look at the number of lions' and tigers' skins, elephants' heads and tusks, and the immense number of other remains of savage denizens of the forest, one must be struck with the indomitable perseverance and pluck which could enable a man alone to face such dangers, and that too in a foreign and unhealthy climate. It is gratifying to believe, that in return for the extraordinary hard ships he must have undergone, and of which he gives such a graphic account in his lately published vo• luines, his exhibition is daily crowded with people inspecting his museum, and some, we have no doubt, quite as eager to catch a glimpse of the redoubtable lion-slayer himself as of his trophies. Want of space prevents us from noticing many of the other more prominent curiosities in the room so fully as we could have wished ; we can only conclude with a hope that when those who have been there already visit it a second time they may receive as much pleasure and gratification as we have done. CAPT. AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION. WhAle Islands, June 22, 1850. We anchored here on the 14th, after a passage of thirty days from Stromness. Nothing worthy of notice occurred during the voyage out beyond having some rather rough weather, our schooner being about fourteen days out of the thirty under water. We made the ice and sighted Cape Farewell on the 2.8!h of May, and on the 30th fell in with the Emma Eugenia transport, bound to Whale Island, with our provisions and stores on board. On the Ist of June observed another strange sail, which proved to be the Danish brig of war Pearl, bound to Leivly (Danish settlement in Davis's S:rait). On the 10th, it being a perfect calm, a signal was made to prepare to tow, Pioneer taking the Reso lute, and Intrepid the transport in tow, leaving Assist ance behind to her eauviss, Whale Islands hearing N.N.W., distance about 290 miles. On the 14th we anchored in Whale Islands, viz., Resolute, tae transport Pioneer, and Intrepid, after having had the ships in tow about 101 hours. :Early next morning the Intrepid started under steam to look for the Assistance. On clearing the harbour's mouth, discovered her about eight miles in the offing, closed her, took her in tow, and brought her into harbour. The ships have filled chock up with provisions, and the schooners have taken in 150 tons of coal each from the transport. The Joseph Green (whaler) has been here and landed coals for Captain Sir John Ross. We can form no ides yet as to what sort of a season we shall have. All that I can say is that we have met with no ice, with the ex ception of some straggling pieces, since we arrived in the Strait ; it is either all down or all to come ; from the heavy swell there is lam afraid the latter is the case. I should not be afraid to wager 1,000 guineas to 1 (if I had them) that we don't cross this year. I may be wrong, but that is my impression. A word or two as regards the efficiency of the screw steamers in towing. In a dead calm the Intrepid ma naged to tow the transport 3i miles per hour; with the fore and aft sails drawing light breeze, 4 miles; under all plain sail, moderate breeze, 4} miles; in a calm with a swell on, 21. miles; head wind, moderate breeze, ' 1 mile. We have nut as yet tried them amongst the ice, but they can be of no service amongst the stream or pack ice, with a vessel in tow, nevertheless, in pushing through a neck or lane, the screw-steamers may be of great ser vice; under canvass they are not of the slightest use; in the first place, they are about thirty feet too long, and they have not canvass enough to enable them to work; in Fact, they are useless as sailing vessels. An intelligent Dane, resident in Litvly, the Danish settlement, informs me that there has been an immense namber of whales seen this season in the latter end of March and first part of April—there not being a ship in the country at the time. What a pity that the whale ships don't go out earlier, as they used to do formerly. I have no other information of importance to communi cate to you. In this forlorn region there is neither scenery, manners, nor customs to describe. All is bar renness and desolation, no flower nor shrub adorns the ice-bound precipices of this sombre locality—where, seated on his icy throne, stern winter reigns supreme, crowned with the gat': ered snows of 6,000 years, exhibiting a singular contrast to the delightful gardens or our native land, whose flowers and plants are at this moment dis playing their odoriferous beauties beneath the genial rays of a midsummer sun. " hen I look on this picture and (with a mind's eye) on that" imagination conjures up another Eden, minus its forbidden fruit. My leisure hours are expired, so good bye, wishing you all happiness and success. We shall no doubt have a yarn together before Christmas '5l. SUNDIY, JUNE 23.—Expedition completed with three years' provision-, the schooners having on boarJ, besides provisions and stores, 315 tons of coal each. Capt. Penny passed the Whale Island 34 days ago, and the American expedition has passed. Yesterday, from the top of the hill, five whalers were observed standing to the southward— rather a bad omen, but corroborating my opinion as to the ice bring fast to the northward. I have every hopes of shaking hands with you before next Christmas; should the ice not be kroken up above, I should like Captain Austin to attempt a passage through the middle ice, abreast of where we now lay—'tis rather a dangerous expetiment, but 'tis better t) run any risk than the risk of not crossing at all, and should wo succeed, it would be k, a glorious w eshall thingprob probably have Shouldanother chancee cal l of a tU e p o p m o r m n u a nication with Eingland.—Nautical Standard. PAT ENT REFORM —NEW ACT. (From the Mining J o / ) is a brief abstract ur' r .-, • Amendment (1 the La w of Copyright of 1.1 , 1 l for the Inventions, referred to by our correspondent, and Cam pin, the patent agent, as carrying into effect much r. that grew; reform he has been seeking to much of for inventors—viz., their legitimate rightto immediate,cure protection for their property in inventions or de signs, at such a cost as , to r,nderthe prot ect i on avail able for the poor as well as the rich invent ,r; so that the humble artisan, who may be able to produce a great improvement in the arts, shall no longer be debarred of his rights because of his social status, and the commu nity may not lose valaable improvements by their being carried to the grave with their authors, who prefer to act thus rather than see them clandestinely filched away from them, as they may be under the existing law. This Act, after stating that it is necessary to amend the Law of Ccpyright and Designs. sets furth :- 1. That in future any design, being within the pro vision of the Designs Act, or any invention within the scope of the patent laws, may be provisionally regis tered for one year, which may, in certain cases, be ex tended by the Board of Trade for six months more. 2. That every design or invention thus provisionally registered shall, during tie above term, be secured to the registree with as full protection for his design or invention, as if it were c:inpletely registered under the present Designs Acts, and the Act accords this protec tion in even larger terms. 3. That, during the term of the said provisional re gistration, neither such registration, nor the exhibition thereof, or of any article made in accordance therewith, in any place of exhibition not being gratuitous, or a place of sale, nor in any exhibition allowed by the Board of Trade (the Great Exhibition of 1851, for in stance), nor the publication of a descriptive account of such exhibition, shall debar the registree from patent ing his invention, or completely registering his design. 4. That during the continuance of the said provi sional registration, the registree must not sell any articles made according to the registration, or forfeiture thereof will ensue; but he may sell his property right therein. 5. That sculptures be brought within the Designs Act, and ornamental designs in ivory, &c., be under new regulations. 6. That the Board of Trade may extend the term of protection in ornamental designs. 7. That the Board of Trade may make regulations as to registration and provisional registration. 8. That the registrar may, in certain cases, register a design without requiring a drawing, upon pr Auction of a specification only, if he shall deem it necessary. 9. That the registrar's certificate, under this Ace, be prima facie evidence of validity. 10. Teat the books of the designs offica be subject to certain provisions. 11. That certain provisos of the other Designs Act be extended to this Act. The Bill then winds up with an interpretation clause, and enacts that, in citing this Act, it shall be sufficient to term it the Designs Act, 1850." MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, August G. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat un th© Woolsack at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from several officers of the line retired on full pay, praying that they might hold brevet rank without any increase of pay, so that they might be raised to the tank of major-general when it should come to their turn wite out any increase of their present pay. The NOBLE DIKE also presented a position from Derby against the admission of Jews to Parliament; also several petitions from agriculturists complaining of the effects of free trade. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the merchants of Edinburgh, praying for au inquiry into the charges of railway companies for the conveyance of goods. Lord PORTMAN presented several petitions in favour of an equal rating to parochial assessments. BOROUGH GAOLS BILL. On the motion of Lord BEAUMONT, this Bill passed through Committee. FEES COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. This Bill was read a second time. COMMONS ENCLOSURE BILL. On the motion of the Earl of CARLISLE, this Bill passed through Committee. CARRICK-ON-SHANNON UNION. Lord BEAUMONT brought up the report of this Committee. He and several other Members of the Com mittee dissented from the report, as they did not think the evidence bore out the severe observations made on certain of the officers. He suggested that they should adopt the practice of the other House, and have the minutes of proceedings before Commitrees reported. Lord WHARNCLIFFE thought that all witnesses should have the power of dispensing with the adminis tration of the oath, or, if sworn, that the witness should be sworn before the Committee. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought it would be exceedingly useful if they were to adopt the practice of the House of Commons with regard to the minutes of proceedings before Committees, as suggested by his Noble Friend (Lord Beaumont), and in another session, unless he heard valid reasons against the practice be should certainly support any proposition to that effect. He was not prepared to dispense with the swearing of witnesses. Lord MONTEAGLE thought that there might be great reforms introduced into their proceedings before Committee. He was surprised to hear from his Noble Friend the Chairman of the Committee an expression of dissent from that report. The report heel generally been considered as the report of the Committee, and he would explain how it came that the difference took place. 'The Committee had been appointed in opposition to the wishes of the Goverement. The majority consisted of those who had attended to the evidence, and the minority, on whose behalf his Noble Friend had adopted this unwise course of making a protest, consisted of those members of the Cabinet who had attended at the con clusion, but who had not heard the evidence. The Earl of MINTO, as one of the members of that Committee alluded to by the Noble Lord, begged to state that he had attended during a great por tion of the time that Committee was sitting, and that he had taken a part in all the proceedings, and bad heard all the evidence relating to ihose matters in which be dissented from the majority of the Committee, and be hoped their Lordships would attend rather to the evi deuce than to the report. Lord BEAUMONT explained. His Noble Friend was incorrect imatating that he 'did- 0 t lay the report on the tabli.as the report Of the Cortitiait se. He distinctly ti stated that he laid it on the table a the report of that Committee. The Noble Lord then proceeded to detail the course adopted by the Committee, and declared that the grossest false swearing and contradictions had taken place in the evidence taken before the Committee, and if he rejected this damaged evidence. he could not come to the conclusions to which the daring spirit of his Noble Friend (Lord Monteagle) had come. PRIVILEGE.—JUDICIAL BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord BROUGHAM rose to draw their Lordships' attention to a violent and slanderous attack made on the manner of conducting the judicial proceedings in that House, and a more unjustifiable and indecent attack had never been made on any court of justice. It was one thing to comment even with scurrility upon the proceedings of that House in its political capacity, but another thing to comment on their proceedings as a court of justice. This last course tended to bring the administration of justice into contempt. Such an attack upon the Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, or Chancery, would subject the offender to condign punish ment, and surely those who were guilty of such an attack on a court superior to them all should subject the offender to the punishment of imprisonment and fine. For some weeks past he had sat with other Noble Friends, he being the only law Lord, to dispose of appeals. The ignorance of the person making these attacks was in conceivable. That person said tbat he (Lord Brougham) had only so sat since his Noble Friend had held the Great Seal; such was not the case; he had heard these causes during the time the Great Seal was in com mission, and he had dispose 1 of , everal most important cases; he had sat until five o'clock and not risen at four, and this was of great importance to suitors, because if a cause could be finished by sitting an addi tional hour the suitor was saved the expense of re freshers and of additional fees, which would have had to be paid if the cause had been adjourned to the next stay. lie had on every occasion heard all that could be urged. Ile had also sat on Wednes deys and Saturdays, his object being to cut down the anenr before the ri-ing of Parliament. He had suc ceeded in that object. He had disposed of every cause except one, %filch stood for to-morrow; and he had given judgment in every one, and he warned his Noble Friend on the Woolsack, who would hereafter preside over those appeals, against the bad habit of post poniug the judgment until some of the circumstances of the case and the impression of the arguments should have been effaced from the mind.—(Hear, hear.) He considered it was the bounden duty of every judge to let as short a period as possible elapse between the hearing of the argument and giving judgment, In tour cases brought before their Lordships on appeal the decisions had been reversed, in the others they had been affirmed ; and he would engage to say that the profession was sa tisfied with his decisions. He should not read the ribaldry or the attacks on his character, which he de spised, but he would take the assertions; first of all, it was said that it had never been heard of that a p Lord, who was not a judge, had sat to hear his Noble Friend (Lord Truro) had been appointed to Wool s a c k. Why, it had taken place appealsspioninlg t e e l du a n t w in 1835. It was very true that ass Irish demagogue, who had fastened a quarrel on him, had interposed to prevent him from presiuing during the time the Great Seal was in commission, and his Noble Friend the Earl of Shaftesbury had in cons( quence come down and pre sided, he (Lord Brougham) sitting in his place and deciding, and the only consequence W that interference of the Irish demagogue was. that counsel standing at the bar were obliged to twist their necks in order to address him in his place. (The Noble and Learned Lord then proceeded to read portions of the article in the Daily News to which he wished to direct the attention of the House.) He denied that any remonstrance had been presented by the Bar to the Lord Chancellor against his (Lord Brougham's) sitting in the House of Peers to hear appeals. Ile declared that there was no shadow of foundation for these assertions, and that they were the reverse of the truth. No remon strance from the Bar would prevent him from performing his duty, but he should be surprised to hear that for the first time there had been a vote of want of confidence by the Bar in his learning and honour. The LORI) CHANCELLOR regretted exceedingly this attack which had been made en his Noble and Learned Friend for the very valuable services which he had rendered to the country by disposing of the appeals. In consequence of the illness of Lord Cottenham, and of the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land and Vice - Chancellor Wigram the business ha aceumulated to such an extent that he could not have disposed of them, had not hie Noble Friend presided in this House. There bad been no communica tion made to him from the Bar with regard to the manner in which his Noble Friend had discharged his duty, and the only communication he had received from an individual member of the Bar was to express his high satisfaction at the judgments of his Noble and Learned Friend. He thought these attacks emanated from some personal enemy, and were only worthy of contempt, for his Noble and Learned Friend had presided here too often to be affected by them. If they were often repeated it might be worth while to notice them, but an isolated attack of this sort should be treated with contempt. The country and their Lordships were under the greatest obligations to his Noble and Learned Friend for having completely got rid of these arrears.—(hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON thought the House was under the greatest obligation to his Noble and Learned Friend for the great activity he had exhibited in getting rid of the accumulation of arrears, and he thought his Noble and Learned Friend was right in drawing the attention of the House to these foul libels in the administration of justice by this House. If by any chance there should have been error in any of the decisi ons p r onounced by his Noble and L ea rned Friend , he was much mistaken if there were no t ma ny in that House capable of discover ing what was wrong; and, until errors were discovered, the House was bound to look on his decisions as satis factory. He hoped the Noble Lord would not withdraw himself from aiding in the judicial business of the House on account of attacks like these. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was almost unnecessary for him to Say anything, but he certainly felt bound to express his concurrence in the remarks of the Noble Duke, and must bear his testimony to the services rendered to the House by the Noble and Learned Lord, who devoted his time, talents, and experience to sustain the dignity and character of the judgments of that House.—(llea(.) lie was unacquainted with the article in question, and with the particular merits of the cases on which his Noble and Learned Friend had been called on to decide; nevertheless, he felt a deep convic tion that the judgments which he had pronounced on those appeals being open to those Members of the House who, a s the Noble Duke had said, wero most competent to discover error, must, until errors were pointed out, be assumed as correct. He thought the public derived great benefit from the services of the Noble and Learned Lord, and, therefore, it was not necessary to pursue this matter further. . , The orders of the day were then proceeded with. SMALL TENS lENTS RATING BILL. Upon the motion that the Bill b e read a third ti m e, The Earl of HARDWICKE moved that it he read a third ti me th a t d ay s i x months. ,I The motion was subsequently withdrawn. The Bill was read a third time and passed. °ll the motion of Lord 13BOUGJIAII, the Adnainis- ' tration of Justice (in Court of Chancery) Acts Continu ance Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord BROUGHAM then gave notice of his intention, on Thursday next, to call the attention of the House to the state of the criminal law. PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL. The Comm‘ins' amendments to this Bill were brought up to be considered. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he would pro ceed to call their Lordships' attention to the amend ments msde by the other House on a Bill which had been much discussed by their Lordships, and which had been sent up for adoption by their Lordships. He would shortly state the amendments madn by their Lordships, to which the other House had agreed. The first was to exclude any fraudulent occupier from voting under this Bill, by requiring occupation for a given period. They also had agreed to the omission of the clause enabling: joint oc cupiers to vote. Their Lordships thought that the qualifi cation should be 151. The House of Commons had sent this Bill up with an amendment, substituting a 121. quali fication for that of 151. as proposed by their Lordships. He wished a Bill to pass which should do away with all cause of ferment in Ireland. It was by a representative Government alone that any part of the kingdom could remain happy and contented, and he therefore hoped their Lordships would not so nullify the effect of the franchise, by making it so high as to exclude any large portion of the people. If they did so, they would find unconstitutional modes of expressing their opinion, which might be at-ended with great danger.—(Hear, hear.) That was therefore an amendment to which he earnestly entreated their Lordships to assent. There was another amendment restoring the clause by which the clerks of the peace were required to record the names of all per sons entitled to be upon the register, and also to record all their votes. There was another amendment as to dates. The remainining amendments were of no particular curl sequence, and enireating an approval of the amendments to which he had particularly alluded, he left them for their Lordships' consideration. Lord STANLEY said he did not intend again to re open the whole question, which had been very fully dis cussed. He had heard with some surprise the amend ments of the other House enumerated by the Noble Lord. They did hot appear to him to be of a very ma terial or important nature. He contended that the per soffs holding property should be bona fide occupants, else they should not be entitled to a vote. He explained on a former occasion to the Noble Marquis (the Marquis of Lansdowne) that his motive for the rejection of the clause relative to the joint occupier was because he knew that there were several consequential clauses dependent upon it which could not be entertained. Now he should again raise the same objection against the amendment of the House of Commons, which went so far as to reduce the joint occupier's assessed rate from 121. to 84 There were two other points which had been already discussed by their Lordships and car ried by a majority. This the House of Commons wished by their vote to rescind; the one was the assessed rate of 151., the other was the self-acting registration clause. He, therefore, hoped, that their Lordships would adhere to their former decision, and not by any means reject the rating of 151., particularly as they considered that it should be the lowest rate of qualification that could be beneficial to the people of Ireland, for it would properly balance the power that existed between the proprietors of land and the numerical strength of the lower classes. He argued that the amount of 151. was what the consti tuency of that country required, as it would include per sons who lived in the neighbourhood of towns, though not possessing more than four acres. He feared that in the result of those amendments being carried by their Lordships that neither intelligence e l or propexty.would be consulted, but the numerical ma sa of illiterate and unenlightened, and that consequently property would be overbalanced by numbers. He contended that the present question was one of degree and not of principle, and he felt it his duty, consequently, to offer every opposition in his power to it. It was well known that the constituency of Ireland had fallen very low, owing. as their Lordships knew, to several causes, and this falling off was more especially illustrated in the county Mayo, where, at the last election, there were not more than 230 voters who polled, though he was well informed there were a great number of electors at that time in the county, many of whom were prevented from recording their votes through the instrumentality of the priests. It was well known that neither the question of foreign or domestic policy, nor that of any difference be tween England and Ireland, nor of free-trade policy, en gaged the attention of the people, but a stern opposition to the landlords, and that actuated by the priesthood of that country, which he pronounced to be most scandalous. In a word, he felt assured that the Hon. Gentleman who was returned obtained his seat, not by the property or intelligence, but by the dictation of the Roman Catholic Archbishop and his clergy. This be considered to be a question which required the due deliberation of their Lordships—this was a ease where one step taken in the wrong direction would prove to be irretrievable. He argued that the Noble Marquis was not correct in his calculation, in which he compared the number of voters in England, Scotland, and Wales, with that of Ireland ; and should his project, and that of the Government in the House of Commons be carried cut, he feared that it would throw greater influence and power into the hands of the lower classes of the people of Ireland than that pos sessed by the people of any of the other three countries to which he had already alluded. He was fully assured that of the 25,000 tenantry in the county of Mayo, there were over 40,000 who were not rated at more than 5/. He hoped that if their Lordships had any judgment (and that he felt assured they bad) they would adhere to their former decision, and uphold the 151. rating. He should next say that he was astonished that the Noble Marquis, who had so strenuously opposed the 8/. rating on the joint occupiers, should now have altered his opinion, and acquiesced with the opinion of Government in the House of Commons, in opposition to his own avowed opinion in that House, for he felt assured that the 81. clause would not be sufficient, and that nothing but the 12/. clause would answer the object of the Bill. He would next allude to the compulsory clause, fur it was most unjust that persons who wished to attend to their re spective business should be coerced to register, and thus be exposed to the anger and animosity either of their landlords or their priests. Could anything be more harassing or objectionable than that the lower classes should be coerced to put their names on the registry, which must necessarily interfere with the influence, in telligence, and the respectability of the country; yet, at the same time, he should admit that there was a dif ference of opinion on this question in Ireland, and he should say, that on this compulsory question, as well as the other, that their Lordships should strictly adhere to their former opinion. In a word, he thought that it would be better to uphold the old system rather than adept so pernicious a measure as that suggested by the House of Commons. —(Hear.) The Marquis of CLANRICARDE was of a totally different opinion with the Noble Lord (Stanley) as to the effect of the working of this measure in Ireland. He believed it was the only way in which they would obtain a representative system commensurate with the population and property of Ireland. The question was really, not whether there should be a franchise founded upon a 12/. or a 15/. qualification, but whether they should have such a constituency as would fairly repre sent the people of Ireland. He contended that the amendment of the Noble Lord would be the ruin of the landed property of Ireland. As the 104 franchise was the ruin of what was called the squirearchy, so the raising the qualification to 15/. now would throw the re presentatiUn into the hands of the small traders and shopkeepers. The Noble Lord had referred to the Mayo election in terms that the circumstances of that election did not warrant; but he begged to remind the Noble Lord that so far from there being no principle in volved, the candidate who was returned fur the Mayo constituency was cue who declared himself in favour of free trade, while his opponent was an advocate of what was called the protective system. He did not deny that efforts were made to prevent some of the electors of Mayo from recording their votes, but that was an argu ment in favour of the enlargement of the constituency. in which case such an event could not arise. He hoped their Lordships would not adopt an amendment which would have the effect of improperly narrowing the constituency of Ireland. He was satisfied that a better proposition, or one more in accordance with free insti tutions, had , never been submitted to that House. Ho was surprised that the intelligence and judg ment of the Noble Lord did not - satisfy him that the measure before the House was the best that could be devised for conferring a suitable constituency upon Ire laud, and would give his vote in favour of the restora tion of the 12/. qualification. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the 121. franchise, Present ... 56 • • • ••• ... 70-126 •.• Proxies ... For the 151. franchise, Present Proxies 62 52-114 Majority •for the 121. franchise 12 The Earl of DESART then rose and moved the rejec tion of the Commons' amendment making the registra tion self-acting. He could not, consistently v.ith his sense of duty, concur in the amendment, for he regarded it as little short of persecution to the voter. He should be sorry to see their Lordships' reverse a decision at which they had arrived by a large majority, without any change of circumstances iu tho interval, and could not help thinking that the result of such a course would be to inflict a heavy blow and great discouragement to those hopes with which Ireland was beginning to regard their Lordships' House. He regretted to see the Government so prone to yield to agitation ' or rather to apprehended agitation, for the result of such a course had always been to encourage the evil which it sought to repress. Lord STANLEY advised his Noble Friend not to divide the House, although he remained quite uncon vinced by the arguments which had been urged against their Lordships' previous decision, and believed that by reversing that decision they would bo introducing a dangerous principle, which was capable of b e i ng extended with equally mischievous effect to England. But when he recollected that among those Noble Lords who were present the same opinion prevailed as when their last vote was given on this point; when be recollected that the majority of their Lordships who were in favour of insisting on their own amendments he I been more than counterbalanced by the large majority of proxies—(Hear, hoar)—when be remembered, also, that that majority, however powerful might be th e argu ments used, was incapable of being affected by any dis cussion, for the " litera seripta mance ho felt that it would be a mere waste of their Lordships' time to trouble them again. If it depended, indeed, on those who were present and were willing to hear arguments, he would have no fear for the result, and would request his Noble Friend to persist in his mo ti on. B ut as ho presumed the Government would take the very convenient course of sheltering themselves from an adverse_ majority by calling forth their proxies, he n would suggest to his Noble he u Friend that he wo u ld necessarily taking up their Lordships' time by callin g on them to divide. On a fgaier gccuicm he had commented up Q 4 it major i ty 6i.. milarly obtained, and it had been said over and over again that he desired to deprive their Lordships of the right of voting by proxy. He desired no such thing. He desired to maintain that right—(Hear, hear)—but lie must ray there never had been any Government so much indebted as the present to that means of obtaining a majority; and, however convenient or necessary it might be, he hardly thought it satisfactory that the Go vernment should continually depend on such means of reversing the opinion of those present.—(Hear.) The Marquis of LANSI)OWNE said, of course the Noble Lord would take that course which he thought best adapted to secure his own objects, but he (the Mar quis of Lansdowne) could hardly be expected to facili tate them. He would certainly call for proxies, being convinced that in doing so he was following a perfectly legitimate course, and one to which the Noble Lord bad himself resorted before now. Lord STANLEY—I never called for them when I was in a minority. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought that if the Noble Lord would search the journals be would find that his (the Marquis of Lansdowne's) impression was correct. However that might be, he maintained that if ever there was a question upon which voting by proxy might be held to indicate a distinct opinion it was this, for the subject bad been before the public for three months. It hid been agitated both in that and the other House of Parliament, and the nature of the amendments intro duced by the other House was perfectly well known. Of course the Noble Lord could divide the House if ho thought proper, and if he thought he would thereby gain a single vote he would advise bum to do so. The Earl of DESART was understood to withdraw his amendment, and the Commons' amendments were agreed to. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and Their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 6. CRIME AND OUTRAGE ACT (IRELAND: CONTINUANCE (No. 2) BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. T. B. ROCHE was one of those who, from the commencement, objected to the introduction of this Act. At the time it was passed he was alive to the state of crime and outrage in Ireland, but then and now ho was of opinion the ordinary law of the land, it properly ap plied, was amply sufficient to put down crime in that country.—(Hear, hear.) That this opinion was well founded he need only remind the House that the present peaceful state of Ireland had been brought about not by the aid of this Act, but through the instru mentality of the ordinary law. To continue this Act, then, would be most unconstitutional. The root of all the evil, and the cause of all the crime in Ireland, was the unsatisfactory state of the law of landlord and tenant, and rather than pass such an odious Bill as thii, the Government and the Legislature ought to turn its atten tion to plans for improving that law. The people of Ireland, though suffering from unparalleled injustice and distress, were perfectly free from crime, and under these circumstances this Bill was more calculated to pro mote outrage than suppress it. Mr. A. STAFFORD said this was a question of confidence or no confidence in the Government. Could they safely entrust them with the powers to be continued by this Bill? He thought they could. Those who entertained a different opinion should not fight the battle on this Bill, but boldly propose a vote of want of confidence. No one, however, had found courage enough to blame the administration of Lord Clarendon, for all parties concurred in eulogis ing the wise and conciliatory policy of that Noble Lord. - On a former occasion he opposed a similar Bill t‘gthilt• not because he llisippecived-of its powers, but be cause he thought it was for the interest of the country that the then existing Government should be thrown out, and he was ready to admit that if those who ap proved this Bill felt the same towards the present Executive, they were justified in their opposition. But, on the other hand, if they were not ready to take upon themselves the government of the country, or could point out a party ready to do it for them, they were bound to pass this Bill, because the Ministry had declared that they could not carry on the government of Ireland without the powers of this Bill. For bis own part, he knew no man to whom he would more readily entrust the extensive powers of the Bill than Lord Clarendon, and as he was not prepared to under take the responsibilities of the Government he should give the Bill his hearty support. Mr. P. SCROPE thought it strange that the Ho nourable Gentleman who last addressed them should have such unbounded confidence in the present Government, for, if he were not mistaken, the Hon. Gentleman was one of the bitterest opponents of its policy.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Now, the circumstances which justified the passing of this Act did not exist at this present time; on the contrary, Ireland was compsratively speaking free from crime, and nothing should induce him to support the Bill. It was monstrous to argue that be cause the power of this Act had at a period of unusual excitement succefded in repressing crime, they ought to continue the Act in force in a time of peace and tran quillity. As well might they say that as despotism enabled Governments to repress crime despotic mea sures ought to be passed by the Legislature. Sir D. NORREYS was favourable to the introduction of this Bill as a vote of confidence in the Government. He was not afraid that any Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland would so brave the feelings of the country as to exercise vindictively the provisions of this Bill. Colonel CHATTERTON was surprised that any Member from the sister isle should object to the Bill. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, aid the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it ... Majority against the amendment ... —53 On the original motion being put that the Bill be read a first time, ... 28 Mr. HUME objected to the suspension of the constitution in Ireland, when no case had been made out to justify such a proceeding. He thought the Irish Members were justified by every means in their power to resist such a measure as the present, and, keeping within the firms of the Home, he would give them every assistance in his power. Mr. ItkYNOLDS thanked the Hon. Member for Montrose for the manly and straightf,rward course he had adopted. He looked upon this Bill as an insult to the people of Ireland, and would give it his determined opposition. ' After some discussion, _ _ Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, in answer to a ques tion from Sir James Graham, that he thought the best course to adopt would be to finish the present discussion and then adjourn for two hours. He was most desirous that orders of the day should take pre cedence in the evening, bat if Hon. Members who had notices insisted on bringing them on, there was nothing to prevent thi-m. Mr. S. CRAWFORD had no confidence in her Ma jesty's Government relative to their policy towards Ire fund. He was glad to see the manly stand that had been made by the Honourable Member for Montro,e, and he trusted be would divide the House on the ques tion of the in roduction of this Bill. Sir J. WALMSLEY strongly urged upon the Go vernment the propriety of withdrawing this Bill. The time had come when they must govern Ireland by love and not by tear. After some observations from Colonel THOMPSON, strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. Mr. Fox having moved the adjournment of the de bate, after some observations from Mr. REYNOLDS, strangers were again ordered to withdraw, and the. House divided upon the question of the adjournment of the debate, when there appeared— For the adjournment of the debate .-. 24 Against it... ... ... •• • ... 85 Majority ... •.. —6l The House then divided on the main question of giving leave to bring in the Bill, when there ap peared— For the motion Against it ... 24 Majority •••-60 Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The House then adjourned at ten minutes Wore Four to Six o'clock. The House met again at Six o'clock. The CHANCELLOR of tho EXCHEQUER an nounced that the sitting would be held in the Now house to-marrow (this day) at twelve o'clock. Some altera tions had been made in the ceiling, which it was expected would cure the defective hearing. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY pre s ented a petition from a place in Shropshire, against the admission of the Jews to Parliament. Sir G. PECIIELL presented twenty petitions from Brighton, praying that such laws may be enacted as will leave every • religious community self-supported, and to apply to the relief of the national burdens what ever public property is now devoted to spiritual pur poses, and in particular that of the Irish Church Esta blishment. Sir H. INGLIS put a question with reference to the precedence of Roman Catholic clergy over the clergy of the Established Church, in certain of the colonies. He wished to know whether such precedence had the sanc tion of her Majesty's Government. Mr. HAWES was not aware until that moment of the direction which the Right lion. Baronet's question would take. The papers on the table of the House" contained all the information on the subject he could give. A cir cular, addressed by the Colonial-office to governors of colonies, provided that the Roman Catholic priests should be recognised by the titles of ecclesiastical dig nity they bore. As to the question of precedence, such recognition did not involve the right of prece dence. The question of precedence was governed by different rules. Sir H. INGLIS said he should call the attention of the House to the latter part of the answer at an early period next session. EXHIBITION OF 1851. In reply to a qtvistion from Colonel SII3THORP, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the report of an advance of 14,0001. made by Govern ment towards the exhibition was a total mistake. He declined to give any assistance to the exhibition. IRISH MAILS.
