Witness did not anticipate a contested election, but he was making preparations for it. He did not tell this gentleman about the compact with the Conservatives, that there should not be a contested election, as the gentleman was a stranger to him, and, had he not been introduced by a gentleman so respectable as Mr. Durant, the deputy clerk of the peace, he would not have opened his lips to him , on the subject. There was nothing said about an I unconteeted election. This gentleman turned out to be Mr. Brace. Mr. Breice told witness that he had already called at the printer's and ordered a placard to be issued calling upon the voters to withhold their promises in the meantime. Witness told him that he thought he had acted very wrongly. Mr. Brace left him with the understanding that •they were to meet next morning at the Watford station. Witness said h e might hero mention that Mr. Brace was like a dumb man. He was afraid of witness, and witness was afraid of him. Witness went to Watford on the following morning, according to appointment, and had a consultation with Mr. Brace in the presence of Mr. Debenham. Mr. Debenham took no part in the con versation. He found Mr. Bowen also at the station, and observed him deliver a letter to Mr. Brace. They all went into a room at the Clarendon Arms, where Mr. Blagg afterwards joined them. Mr. Brace said he now wished his friend should not come forward, but that others had a different feeling. Witness saw another gentleman there, and asked Mr. Brace if that was his candidate. Mr. Brace smiled, and witness presumed • he was correct in his suppo• sition. That gentleman 'tamed enatto..e Mr. Bell. Witness did not speak to him. Mr. Brace said that as witness was going to London he had better call upon Mr. Coppock. Witness concluded from that that Mr. Brace had been in communication with Mr. Coppock. He accordingly went straight to Mr. Coppock's with Mr. Blagg and Mr. Debenham, and told him what had transpired on the previous day. Mr. Coppock told him to look back in about an hour and a half. He did eo, and on his return he was in formed by the clerks that Mr. Coppoek was engaged with Mr. Colt. Mr. Colt went out at one door, and witness went in at another. Mr. Coppock told him that he had not a candidate in view at that moment, and desired him to call again next day. That was the 21st he was speaking of now. Nest day he went to Mr. Coppock's and he bad an interview with Mr. Colt. There was nothing said in the presence of Mr. Colt about money. The question of a candidate was still undecided. On the 23,1 he had another interview at Mr. Coppock's with Mr. Colt, and, after a deal of pausing, it was agreed that a candidate should be forthcoming. This was the first time he heard Mr. Bell's name mentioned. There was nothing said about money, but it was perfectly understood between Mr. Coppock and him self that, unless 2,500/. or 2,700/. were provided, witness would have nothing to de with the proceedings. Two or three days elapsed before be went up to town again, and in the meantime he told the constituency that he was prepared with a candidate, but no name was cur rent in the borough before the 38th. On the 28th he went up again to Mr. Coppock. Witness thinks he wrote to him to say that he was coming, and that he should like to see the candidate and have the address printed. (Witness here stated that as at the election before leaving the hustings :a petition was threatened, he took care to destroy all the papers that were likely to be prejudicial to Mr. Bell, but he believed that nothing was lost by that, and he had a good recol lection of all that had passed.) When he went again to Mr. Coppock's Mr. Bell was introduced to him as the candidate. Mr. Bell then produced a copy of his address, and asked him how he thought it would suit his party. Witness said he thought it very good, and undertook to have it printed. Witness afterwards went back to Mr. Coppock, and told him that the expenses were beginning to be incurred, and that it was time that be had some payment on account. This was cn the 28th. He told Mr. Coppock that the best way would be to advance 5001. in the mean time, contingent upon circumstances as to what would be required afterwards. Mr. Coppock agreed to this proposition, and told him to call again in about an hour. Mr. Coppock asked him how he would like the money, and he said in sovereigns. Witness went back, and still the money was not ready. He called hack a third time, and was told to go himself to Surrey-street, to the firm of Brace and Co., and say that Mr. Coppock sent bins, lie went to Surrey street accordingly, and saw Mr. Colt, who seemed angry with him fur coming. Witness told him that he was obliged to be plain with him—that he must have the money. lie did not think that the word " money" was mentioned, but he was sure he suc ceeded in perfectly conveying his meaning. Mr. Colt said, he had better go back again to Mr. Coppoek. Witness said there was no use in going back to Mr. Coppock, as he had gone to dinner. Mr. Colt then told him to call back in an hour. Ile did so, and still there was a similar difficulty about the money. Mr. Colt and himself then took a cab, and drove to a house in a street in Tottenham-court road. Mr. Colt went out of the cab, hut witness did not. There . tbn C yn o -a l s t t ug h ae e rn n et,l e t a o li k ad i h hw i e m hwo t n o uw g i do o ue t le o dn d t a h s a e . wa s still an error somewhere, and th e money did not n come h t i h in e mt n e i tlie liA re lurs packet lr iet o r t a o sume the name of Jenkins. A gentleman did come to him there with a packet. He distinctly remembered him asking if Mr. Edwards was there. Witness did not know who he was. He merely delivered the packet to witness, said nothing, and went away. He did not say where the packet came from. Witness was just in time for the mail-train to St. Alban's. He took the packet with him, and caused it to be locked up in a house in Checker-street, since known by the name of " Sovereign-alley." There are two printers in St. Alban's, and he employed them both to print Mr. Bell's address. The first person who saw the address was Mr. Woolham, of Silkmill, who said he highly approved of it, and would certainly vote for his friend. Ile then directed the address to be sent round the town in the usual way. lie after wards deposited the packet with Mr. Healy, of the George Inn, without counting it or knowing any thing of its contents except by weight. On the fol lowing morning he commenced making preparations for the contest, for iminediatedly on his return to the borough he became satisfied that a contest was in evitable. He anticipated a contest after separating with Mr. Simpson, who said that he would certainly put forward a candidate. On the 30th of November he received a letter from Mr. Randall, of 23, Birchine lane (which he read), to the effect that Mr. Bell in tended to leave town with some friends on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and requesting witness to order a relay of horses for the carriage at Barnet. The letter also contained a protest on the part of Mr. Bell against treating, bribing, and corrupting voters, in any form whatever, and a distinct assurance that Mr. Bell would not be answerable for paying any bills or accounts, except such as were strictly legal. Wit ness was also requested to order a dinner for Mr. Bell preparations for Mr. Bell's comin g . Mr. Bell and his friends.

There they were merged in t about 50 or 60, and, enhered 151 votes, and it was a third party, which nui,ided by the Conserve was a portion of this party, i into the field. Ile Liberal Conservative att ic hid relied upon the whole ofi‘tile 13t11. This under as he had said, voting for r.ibneen tives, that brought Mr. Cert d e i h through witness s e had previously referred. It was instrumentality that Mr. Repton, the Tory candidate, standing was based upon the compact to which was returned, and it was agreed, in consideration of that circumstance, that at anot her election they would pay the witness in the same coin. At the previous election o n ly 16 Conservatives gav e p lum p ers for Mr. Repton, and a ll the others split th eir votes for Mr. Raphael, th e R a di ca l. Flaying ca lculated up on a contribution of 60 from the Tory party at the late election, he was very much disappointed at their not corning over to him, because, if the compact had been carried out, there would have been no opposition. Throughout the whole of the proceedings witness was in daily and hourly communication with the leaders of the Liberal party. Mr. Carden was publicly mentioned as a candidate within a week after. During the same week Mr. Gresham brought a letter of introduction to me from Mr. Mullen, of the Royal British Bank. Mr. Gresham asked witness whether he was engaged with a candidate. Witness said he believed he was. Mr. Gresham asked him whether he could not co-operate with him—that he knew of a good man that had plenty of money, and he mentioned the name of Sir Fitzroy Kelly. Wit ness said that that was a very good man, but he was of a different party to his. Mr. Gresham then said that he must have a slice of what was going ; he was determined not to sit quiet no a , that he was going to reside in that locality. Witness said that he did not wish to engross all; he was willing to share it with the legal profession, though be did not belong to it, 'and he wished to know what Mr. Gresham expected. Mr. Gresham said ten guineas a day. Witness said he thought five guineas a day enough, but ultimately agreed to give him what Mr. Mullen, of the Royal British Bank, should say was right. A meeting was afterwards held at the White Hart Inn by the third party, for the purpose of getting a candidate, and he was informed by Mr. Debenham that Mr. Gresham attended that meeting, and proposed a form of requi sition to Mr. Alderman Carden. When Mr. Deben ham gave him that information he was very much surprised and hurt, and immediately wrote a letter to Mr. Gresham to say that he was very much asto nished to hear that, after what had passed between them, he had been assisting in getting up arequisition to Mr. Carden. Mr. Gresham here objected to Mr. Edwards's statement of the contents of the letter in question, and undertook to produce it, if it was in existence, on a subsequent day. Mr. Edwards, in continuation, said that on the 30th of November he received a letter from Mr. Gresham, in reply to the before-mentioned communication, denying his knowledge of any Carden party, and that he was acting for any party whatever. The first time he was made aware that a candidate opposed to his interest was really in the field was about the 30th of November, when he was informed that Mr. Alderman Carden had positively come forward. He then began to take active measures in support of Mr. Bell. He did not attach much consequence to the threatened opposition, as it was said that Mr. Carden was a Liberal, and he was not afraid of a serious op position from the party who supported him. Before Mr. Carden had canvassed a single vote Mr. Bell told him that he was surely not aware of the po sition of affairs in the town, or he would not dis • turb it ; that it was quite ascertained that the number was considerably in Mr. Bell's favour. Mr. Carden bowed and thanked him, but his party said something to him which appeared to be " fudge," and then went away. He repeated that at no time was the opposition serious. He would not have minded two such candidates. Some of the electors upon whom he relied did decline giving pro mises i❑ favour of Mr. Bell, but not more than usual. Some of them wanted a good deal of solicitation. He did not find it necessary to hold out any promises of reward. When he gave anything he always gave it at once. It was always understood that something should be given. It was notorious that the electors went to the different agents for what was commonly called "head-money." Out of the 324 electors whom he reckoned favourable to his interest, there were about 250 whom he looked upon as persons requiring head-money. It was the same with the other party. He had acted on both sides. He should think it very strange if Mr. Carden's party had not done the same thing. The Conservative party was very much altered if it did not look for money on such oc casions. The fixed sum given ,was Si. a head. The maximum was Si., and one or two voters had less than 51. The way in which the money was given was this :—They first canvassed the town all day; but there was not much to be done that way. In the evenings witness generally took up his position at his office, and in accordance with the regular custom tor 20 years, the voters called upon him there, and, if they promised their vote, he gave them head-money. Formerly he had a brother-in-law who acted with him, and he took up his position at the top of the stairs, and introduced the voters to him, one by one. His own sons afterwards took up that position. Ge nerally the whole money was paid on such occasions, but there were some few exceptions. Every one who received money was in some way engaged in the election, as spies, messengers, and various sorb; of ways, and he paid them according to what he thought the value of their labour. 51., as he had said, was the usual sum ; but if a man had rendered efficient ser vice as a messenger or spy, he received more. Some of them were actively and some of them only colour ably employed. Those who were only colourably employed received a small sum, those who were ac tively employed a larger sum. He began paying money on the 30th November. He had a list of the persons who received head•money, but that was one of the papers he had particularly destroyed. Ile wished to avoid mentioning persons' names, as it was a very painful thing to do so. Mr. SLADE-But you must mention the names of the persons, if you remember them. Mr. Edwards—Will you tell me, in the presence of this meeting, what will be the consequence of my re fusing to mention the names ? Mr. SLADE—YOU will be imprisoned till you do, and the imprisonment may last your life unless you disclose the names. You have no option, Mr. Ed wards. You must disclose the names. Mr. Edwards—l have already suffered eighteen weeks' imprisonment, and am ready to suffer another eighteen weeks rather than mention names. - Mr. SLADE—I fear you will have to suffer more than eighteen weeks, unless you comply with the Act of Parliament, and answer the questions put to you. I feel for your position, but you have no alternative. It was then agreed that the Commissioners should take the register and call out the names of the several electors seriatim, at the same time requesting Mr. Edwards to say whether he had paid them any and what sum for their votes at the late election. In this way the names of about 100 persons were mentioned as having received " head-money." About 30 of them had receives 51. a-piece or upwards; 10 had received 8/. or upwards; three of them 61. or upwards; two of them 101.; one 181. or 201.; and one l /., 2/ , or 3/. In most of the cases where more than 51. had been given the witness stated that services had been rendered to more than the full value of the sum received. One supplied committee-rooms, another furnished apart ments, and others acted as spies, messengers, or door keepers. In one or two cases the money was given to the wives of the electors, but the husbands de clined to recognise the bargain, and voted for Mr. Carde❑ or not at all. The money in none of these cases was ever returned. Three prize fighters were employed to keep the peace, and received the usual allowance of 51. Witness would not have done their duty for 501. This examination of the register only exhausted one parish. The other parishes will be gone through to-morrow. Mr. SLADE reminded the reporters of the caution he had given them at the cemmencement respecting the publication of the evidence, and he particularly wished to call their attention to the great unfairness of publishing, at this stage of the proceedings, the names that had been mentioned by Mr. Edwards that day. The inquiry was adjourned at a quarter past 4 till half-past 10 to-morrow (Thursday). CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. BASE COIN .—The officers of her Majesty's Mint have received information that the eoiners in the metropolis have adopted a new process for the production of base coin, with which it is of some importance the public should be acquainted. There are at the present time in circulation a large quantity of counterfeit half-crowns, which have bean produced from dies in brass, and then electro-plated with silver, and by this method tho base coin has much more the appearance of silver than that produced from moulds, many of the defects apparent in the latter being by the now process altogether avoided. For instance the milling round the edge of the coin struck from the die is as perfect as that on coin issued from the Mint; and it is well known that the greatest difficulty the coiner had to contend against was, to mill the edge of the spurious equal to the genuine coin. To these braes half-crowns, the little " coin detectors" now in general use are of no avail, for they cannot be bent by them. The preparation of these dies is rather an expen sivoa affair, and one sot have already found th e i r way into the possession of the authorities. Th ese half than spuriouse c u o i i n n e , t hero half crowns have been pronounced the best i m it at i ons of the genuine coin yet produced, and they are on l y to be glt de tected by the peculiarity th o a f t th al e t ring and nd b y half-crowns tr w ofis weight, half crown.tlas The moulded counte r f e it half-crown about three pennyweights lighter. Th e pol i ce are endeavc,ur iti being to lighter truce the b y one pennyweightmanufacturer being reason to believe of this the genuine character at present in circulation have emanated from One source. MELANCHOLY OCcußßinelantholy 00. currence, attended with f atal consequences, happened in the parish of Ordiquiffill on Thursday. Two parties, one of them named Mackay, gam e k eeper, Marnoch, and the other John Ellis, ground officer, Ordiquhill, had been on the hill of 111e more shooting, when a hare crossing their track, both tired at it in a kneeling posture, and on Mackay rising to his feet he found, to his horror, that his companion was shout through the head. The unfortunate man only lived about two hours. —SC0(8711E171. [PRICE SD. R I h V a A l f y Y e a r I l y N t n T e e E t Lng Gof :hEe The fourth A I GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. of this railw a y was h e ld yesterday, at the company's offices in New Broad -street. L or d Wharncliffe was in the chair. N Mr. NICIIOLSO N sha C re E hOlders , the secretary, read the report of the directors, as follows : " At the last half -yearly meeting of the company the directors report e d th at t h ey had entered into contract with Messr s . F av i e ll and Fowler for the a con struction of twenty-one miles of railway, from Bom bay to Tannah. These contractors have carried out to India an ample supply of materials and a sufficient staff of superintendents and skilled labourers to en sure the due execution of the works of their contract. The earth -works had been finished, up to ' formation level,' to the extent of nearly one-third of the distance embraced in this contract, when the periodical mon soons interposed an obstacle to further progress for a time. Before the issue of this report the rains will be over, and active operations will again be resumed. " Within the past half-y. or the construction of a further portion of the railway has been let to Mr. George Wythes, which carries the line from Tannah (where the first contract terminates) to Perseek Point, a distance of four miles. This contract embraces works of some magnitude, including a viaduct across the navigable estuary at Tannah, and two short tunnels. Mr. Wythes has sent out a large quantity of plant' and working material., and has, through his agents, commenced operations in a manner which gives every assurance of a satisfactory fulfilment of his contract. " The directors have also given orders for the con struction of a branch line (of about one mile and three-quarters in length) to the port of Mahim, between which place and Bombay, a considerable traffic may be expected, both in goods and passengers. " The surveys for the extension of the main line from Perseek Point to within a short distance of Callian are finished, and the works on this part of the railway are shown to be very favourable. These works wil be put under contract as soon as the pre liminary arrangements can be made. " The before-mentioned works, conjoined, will con stitute a railway from Bombay to within one mile of Callian (with a branch to Mahim), about 35 miles, thus completing the first object contemplated in the contract between the Honourable East India Company and this company. Prom the proposed station near to Callian the line can, with equal convenience, take the direction of any of the three routes which have been suggested for the passage of the railway into the interior. And the directors hope that by the next meeting of proprietors they will be in a position to arrive at a correct judgment upon this important question. " A resolution will be submitted to this meeting for confirming the forfeiture for non-payment of calls of 235 shares, upon which five rupees per share were paid in Bombay. " The statement of accounts up to the termination of the half-year ending 30th June last will be found appended to this report. This statement, together with the books of accounts, have been examined by the accountants of the Honourable East India Com pany, in addition to a minute audit by the company's auditors." 'he CHAIRMAN said it now became his duty to ce that the report as read be approved and adopted. so doing it would not be necessary for him to take much of the time of the meeting, not because Ie was nothing to report, but because the report f contained all the explanations necessary as to the sent condition of the company's undertaking. The ...ent accounts received from India extended over a ripd in which, from the nature of the climate, little ogress could be made; but the statement laid before em showed that their agents and officers in India ere not idle, and were busily attending to the va ous arrangements necessary for the completion of ie 'railway when the proper time arrived. Ile was appy to say that the best understanding prevailed with the directors of the East India Company as to future progress, and that there was every reason ,o anticipate the successful termination of their un lertaking. From the statement of accounts sub. joined to the report, it appeared that the total amount received on shares in England and India, up to the 30th June, 1851, was 332,0991., and the amount dis bursed 94,6681., leaving a balance in hand of - 2.37,4301. The latter sum might be regarded as the free balance, though the proprietors were of course aware that, by the terms of their agreement with the East India Company, the whole amount received was paid im mediately into the company's treasury, and interest of 5 per cent. guaranteed and paid thereon.—(l Lear.) Captain BARBER seconded the motion. He was happy in the certainty that, so long as they went on in harmony with the East India Company, no diffi culties would be experienced that could at all impede their progress. Colonel DICKENSON wished to express his hope that the Gavernment of India would be stimulated to greater activity in effecting the requisite surveys. It was not yet decided to what point of the Ghauts the railway was to be advanced, though in October, 1850, they bad been informed that the question was under going consideration, and that the determination of the Indian Board would be speedily pronounced. The cost of the railway to Tannah was to be 200,0001., or 9,0001. a mile. They were, therefore, no longer in doubt as to the essential point whether their under taking would be attended with profit or not. He begged to suggest that, with a view to the simul taneous bestowal upon the inhabitants of the Candeish, Ahmednuggur, Poona, and Sholapoor districts of the advantages to be derived Irma the completion of the railway as far as Callian, the Indian authorities be urged to lose no time in the construction of efficient roads or tramways communicating with the railway, with a gradient in no case exceeding one in twenty. This would at once add to the value of their line, and give the greatest possible facilities to the inhabitants of the adjoining country. The CHAIRMAN said, with regard to the passage of the Ghauts, when the enterprise was first projected it was intended to carry the line across the peninsula, and one of the earliest operations was to effect a general survey of the different passages. After com municating with the directors of the East India Com pany, it was resolved to confine their views for the present to the first section of the line, to extend from Bombay to Callian. They were yet some little dis tance from the completion of this first portion, but their surveyors were now engaged on a more minute survey of the different routes proposed for the con tinuation of the line, an expenditure from the surplus funds having been sanctioned for that purpose, and no time would be lost is proceeding with the work. The question was then put, and the motion carried unanimously. Mr. FRITR begged to read a letter he had received from Mr. Willoughby, formerly member of Council at Bombay, a gentleman of the greatest experience and knowledge of India, which he was sure it would give those present the highest gratification to hear. It was as follows : " 99, Westbourne•terrace, Oct. 22, 1851. "My dear Sir,—l very much regrdt to inform you that I am obliged to leave this for Somersetshire and Wales to-morrow, and that I shall not therefore be able to accept your board's invitation to attend the meeting of the Great East Indian Peninsular Railway Company to be held on the 29th inst. " I was quite unprepared for the kind: notice in tended to be taken of my efforts to promote this great and important undertaking. It is true that from the commencement of the discussion regarding the intro duction of railways into IVestern India I exerted myself to the utmost in the high position I then held, to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion ; and when, on the 31st October last, i was invited to turn the first sod of the first railway in India, I received my reward. , 4 That ceremony was performed in a very unpre tending manner—th e j u bil ee with which it might have been accompanied, being reserved for the O the railway, whi c h it i s calculated will occupreinningNoo-f vember, 1852. I trust that nothing will occur to dis appoint that expectation. " I am happy to be able to state to your board that when I left Bombay, on the 3d May last, satisfactory progress had already been made in its construction; and that, as you will have doubtless been informed, it has since withstood without any serious i n jury one of the h eav i est monsoons perhaps ever remembered ; I cannot therefore foresee any circumstance likely to impede its early completion. " Indeed, with the cordial and liberal support of the lion. East India Company, and of the distinguished statesman who now rules over British India, with the vigilant supervision exercisod over its construction by the local government, enforcing economy to the ut most extent consistent with durability, and the interest with which the work is regarded by all classes of the community, European as well as native, I indulge a confident expectation that a new era is about to dawn on India, and that its greatest and almost uni versally admitted want, the imperfection of its present means of transit, is about to be removed, not only by the construction of ordinary road s , b ut b y the exten sive introducti o n th roug h i ts l ength and breadth o f those iron arteries of traffic which are the most useful invention of this pr ogress i ve aged.

The room was again crowded with the townspeople, who seemed to listen to the proceedings with great interest. Mr. Brace wished to explain some matters which he had stated yesterday. He then stated that he bed had lent Mr. Hills (Mr. Bell's partner) 2,0001. He found, however, upon reference to his books, that the the sumwas otherw advanced as n os ol y 1 0 1 .0 , la wouldooA 1 / r , . butbe Hills'sanotherexplained behalf. 50 b y ol x I . , Thisr. he c ol factt. believed,H of e (Mr. Brace) knew nothing about it himself. The sum of 2,0001., however, was repaid by Mr. Hills. Mr. Colt also explained several points of his evi dence. His object in calling on Mr. Cappock, he said, was to see if he would give his influence to Mr. Bell. He understood Mr. Coppock was a sort of agent of the Government, and he wanted to know if his influence would prevent a contest. lie had stated yesterday that Mr. Brace had advanced Mr. Hills 2,0001. This was substantially correct, but he had since found that cheques for 3001. and 2001. did not pass into Mr. Hills's hands, but through his (Mr. Colt's) own hands into those of Mr. Freeman, of Cheltenham. Some conversation took place between him and Mr. Freeman with respect to the St. Alban's election, ',in the course of which he believed he conveyed to Mr. Freeman the wish that the cheques should be delivered to Mr.:Cop pock. He had never been told what what was done with those cheques, and had never had curiosity enough to inquire. All the cheques were drawn in Mr. Hills's favour. There was one for 1,0001. on the London and Westminster Bank ; and one for 5001., another for 2001., and another for 3001. on the Bank of England. The whole of that money was drawn from his own private resources. Mr. Hills wished to state that the sum borrowed from Mr. Brace was 1,5001. and not 2,0001., as be had stated on the previous day. He could not recollect whether Mr. Brace sent to the bank for the money or whether he handed it over to him at once. Al though he had only received 1,5001. from Mr. Brace, he understood, either directly or indirectly, that another 500/. was advanced. lie was not aware whether that 5001. was repaid. He could only ac count for 1,5001. The truth was, he had complicated the affair as much as possible, so that if any inquiry should afterwards be made, it should not be found precisely where the money came from. Mr. Brace stated, that he might have drawn the cheque for 1,000/. which he gave to Mr. Hills while Mr. Hills was sitting at the table, and sent to the bank for notes, but he was not sure. The dates of repayment were, 400/. on the 17th of December, 1850; 1001. on the 19th of December; 4901. on the 31st of December; 101. on the 3d of January, 1851 ; 6931. on the 26th of February; 71. same date ; and 3001. on the sth of March. He could not state whether he ever communicated to Mr. Hills the fact of an advance of 3001. and 2001. through Mr. Colt to Mr. Freeman, but thinks he must have done so. He bad come to no reckoning with Mr. Hills. He was satisfied with finding himself repaid. Mr. 11. Edwards was then called. He was in formed that the Commissioners were ready to hear from him any statement respecting the part he had taken in the late election for St. Alban's. lie re plied, that as he appeared there not as a volunteer but upon the summons of the Commission, it would be much more pleasant to him to answer questions than to make a statement. After some hesitation, he proceeded to give his evidence, partly in answer to questions, and partly of his own accord. He stated that he was not a voter in the borough at present, and that he resided four miles out of the borough. He was once a voter, but it was ten years ago. He was now a farmer in the neigh bourhood, but was formerly manager of the St. Alhan's bank, and had taken a part in all the elec tions at St. Alban's for twenty-five years. He was induced to take part in the late election by a letter from Mr. Coppock, of Parliament-street, London, dated the 16th of November last. He went up to London on the following day, and saw Mr. Coppock, who asked him whether he (witness) would act with him on that occasion. Witness had not acted with him at the two previous elections, but he consented to do so on this. Mr. Coppock asked him what the ne cessary expense was likely to be. Witness told him that :000/. might be required. Mr. Coppock said he would communicate with the Hon. Mr. Craven (the candidate whom he had then in view), and with certain other persons, and that witness had better call next day. Witness told him that a compact had been entered into with the heads of the Conservative party that there should be no contest. The sum which he mentioned as the probable expense of the election was of course contingent upon the circumstance as to whether there would be opposition or not. There was nothing said about expenses in the event ofsti th nctly ere being no contest ; but it was di iuondaeorsytoocdonttehsatt fhore th(owbitonreosos)ghswhoiuthldoutnobteinegmbark pro vided with money to the amount he had men tioned. He had alwa y s found money necessary in his experience of elections. He return n ed to St. Al ban's that night , and went up to tow again next day. He saw Mr. Coppock again. Mr. Coppoc k had not received the answer which he had anticipated, and he desired him to come at six o'clock to l th e, and e Re form Club, where a meetings as to take to pa the Re an answer would then be give He went form Club accordingly, and saw Mr. Coppock, who told him that the Hon. Mr. Craven did not find it convenient to become a candidate. No other name was then mentioned. Mr. Coppock and he talked over the probability of getting another candidate, Mr. Coppock remarking that there would be no diffi culty about it, and that be hoped to be able to name another candidate in a few hours or days at furthest. Witness impressed upon him that no time ought to be lost. While he was with Mr. Coppock Mr. Simpson came in, and had some conversation with tie comm ittee apart, which witnes s did not hear, bu ended in Mr. Coppock advising Mr. Simpson and witness to go and see a certain gentleman, and ask him to become a candidate. That gentleman was Mr. Sergeant Shee. Mr. Simpson and witness went, and found Mr. Shee at a dinner party at his own chambers. They had about half-an-hour's con versation with him. They told him the necessary expense, and Mr. Shee said that his only objection was that the state of politics at that time might throw some difficulty in his way, as he (Mr. Shee) was a Roman Catholic. He said, however, t hat at a future time he should be very happy to stand for the borough. This was on the 19:h of November. Mr. Simpson and he returned together by train and a private fly to St. Alban's. Next day he went back to London in search of a candidate. He saw Mr. Simpson in the evening, who told him that if Mr. Coppock was not prepared with a candidate be (Mr. Simpson) knew of a good man (he did not mention his name) who was ready to spend :3,000/. if necessary, but that Witness said that that wa s q(aeluni altogether hNna i ih m ot r et . im p os si ble.

That same day, while dining at the Blue Boar, Mr. Durant came to him and introduced agen tleman to him, who he said was highly respectable, and whom he had known many years, but he did not mention his name, and desired witness not to mention ne rt sOoo of tr h hei his introducing this unknown gentle- Mr.his name. 0 as k e d him whether he was engaged with a man, Durant ran away and left them.

"I ens proud to acknowledge that for this proape6e- Western India is largely indebted to akeiertions-of - your hoard, but more particularly to the xe), energy; • . influence of your noble chairman. - " It has, indeed, been remarked by some that India requires ordinary roads, and not railroads. From this opinion I entirely dissent ; for although no one is more sensible than I am of the great want at present in India of ordinary roads, and of the great advan tages which would result from their construction on some comprehensive plan, nevertheless I anticipate, among other numerous benefits, that the introduction of railroads will cause a large increase of ordinary roads. Construct grand trunk lines of railway, and the con struction of ordinary roads as feeders thereto will necessarily follow, either on the part of Government or of individuals prompted to undertake them by a due-regard -to their own interests. " I may, however, be permitted to remark, that I can only considt r the works now in progress merely as the commencement 0f a noble but gigantic under taking whereby. W 6 may h pa ultimately to repay a portion of the vast debt England owes to India. A railway from Bombay, a few miles beyond Tannah, although in'the right direction, will of itself be of little value. -I do not myself despair of seeing, at no distant day, your rail approach, if it does not unite , with, the line now under construction from Calcutta Ito the upper. provinces ;. but, at an events, the Bom bay line must ascend the Ghauts, and after, if possi ble, having intercepted the traffic now carried on both ' by the Thull and Bhore •Gthauts, it must approach the cotton and opium producing districts of Berar, Omrawuttee,:- and' Malwa.

" I trust I shall be pardoned these few remarks, and • with my best acknowledgments to your noble chair man, and to the several members of your board, for their flattering and unexpected recognition of my ser vices in a cause in which we all feel a warm interest, I remain, my dear sir, yours very faithfully, "J. . Firth, Esq." "H. WILLOUGHBY. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution for the forfeiture of 235 shares on account of the non pay ment of the calls due. He could not omit the oppor tunity of expressing his gratification at hearing such sentiments from a gentleman so well acquainted with India as Mr. Willoughby, and cordially concurred with him that it was the bounden duty of the autho rities of India to spare no exertion whatever to im prove its internal communications, and execute every public work of which the completion would confer benefit on that country. In answer to a proprietor, The SECRETARY stated that the forfeited shares belonged to parties resident at Bombay, Poona, and Sattara,_ the largest number being held by a contrac tor at Bombay. The calls due on them up to the 15th of July, 1850, remained unpaid. The resolution was then agreed to, as was another resolution recommending a grant of 20 guineas an nually "to the auditors, Messrs. Anderton and Keating, in consideration of their efficient services to the com pany. Colonel DICKENSON moved a vote of thanks to the noble chairman and directors, for their attention to the interests of the company. Mr. Caawcouit seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment, and stated that the East India Company had promised them an additional capital of 500,0001., when they were ready to undertake the extension of the line. They were now in a position to take immediate measures for that purpose, and no time would be lost. The meeting then broke up. PORTS AND HARBOURS. It may not porliAps be generally known that a Bill " For the better preservation and regulation AC th 9 Ports and Harbours in the Unit e d Kingdom," itms few days prior to the close of the last session of Par liament, laid on the table of the House of Common,, ~ by Sir F. Baring, for consideration d ur i ng the . , - Copies of the Bill are, we understand, in c o urse T o v. tribution amongst those parties and eimanaiiiiktieit whose interest is sought to be improved by it; and -- for the information of our readers we proceed to:ex-,_ plain the nature of its provisions. The seaboard of the United Kingdom is indented • with, innumerable small but useful creeks, under no local management or conservancy, and are permitted to remain in a state of nature unimproved and un cared for, while a trifling sum judiciously expended on their improvement might prove a lasting benefit to these creeks and their immediate neighbourhood. There is no remedy for this evil but the costly one of procuring an Act of Parliament for each locality. ' It is proposed by this Bill, that on a memorial, signed by a certain number of ratepayers of the district, pre sented to the Admiralty, a local conservancy board may be constituted by an order -of her Majesty in Council, with authority to levy a small tonnage due on shipping frequenting the harbour, and likewise to borrow money on mortgage of the dues, with a view to procuring a fund to carry out the necessary im provements, and to pay a harbour-master. It also provides for the removal of sunken wrecks, and imposes a heavy penalty on all persons depositing material of any description within the limits of the tide ; thus consolidating the several powers vested by Parliament in the Admiralty. Such are the principal heads of the Bill, and it is important to observe they materially differ in effect from those embodied in a Bill which was introduced in the session of 1846, but which was not proceeded with. Without committing ourselves to an opinion on the merits of this particular Bill, we think that much may be done by some such means as it proposes, for bene fitting the trading and shipping interests of the em pire. In other words, we consider this measure a step in the right direction. SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
