Inning would, as my learned friend the Lord Advocate has j justly argued, be hostile to the general spirit of liberty in this country. (Hear.) That spirit of liberty has grown I in this country by the boldness and courage with which men have stood forward and were ready to suffer sacri fices in behalf of those opinions and that free Government which they wished to establish. (Hear.) From the day when Sir J. Eliot allowed himself to be imprisoned until death to the day when Sydney was willing to be con demned with unmoved pulse by the verdict of an adverse and packed jury—men were ready to make any sacrifice, and at any cost, to establish the principles of liberty. But if you depart from those principles — if you say men are to exercise secretly any of the public trusts of this community, and that they shall be saved harmless, what ever their motives may be, you do much to quench that spirit, and you produce an opposite spirit, tha t of skulking_e from the responsibility atttached to such a trust. (IFlar • ) I will not now go into arguments with regar d to foreign countries, with one exception, to which the honourable member for Manchester has alluded, and it is worthy cer tainly of remark, because we have usually heard that the example of the United States of America no doubt a great and free country was one that ought to be held forth for our example and worthy of our imitation; but, if it should appear that some of the United States of America themselves have great doubts with respect to the value of secret voting, I think it is an argument for us to pause, at least, before we adopt a plan which they for a long while pursued, but upon which they do not seem to have decided as an advantageous plan. (Hear.) The hon. gentleman has, I believe, truly related, that in Massachu setts the ballot has for a long time been established, but the law establishing the ballot stated that the name of the voter was to be written ou a paper, open and unfolded— (hear, hear)—there was no secrecy whatever about the vote—(hear, hear)—it was a mode of voting different from ours, but a mode of voting which did not imply secrecy, which did not practically carry secrecy with it ; and there fore in principle resembled our mode of voting, rather than the secret mode proposed by the hon. gentleman. (Hear, hear.) It is true that the party who had the majority stated that there were such abuses, such intimidations, that it was necessary to establish the secret ballot; a great party opposed that change, but it was carried. However, within a year after it was carried there was a majority of, I believe, 184 to 7 in favour of the repeal of the secret bal lot law. The hon. gentleman says there has since been a convention, and that the majority of that convention are in favour of secret ballot, and will make it part of the constitution. We do not know how that may be, but we know that after the secret ballot which the honourable gentleman proposes had been tried for a year in that noble and free State of Massachusetts it was abandoned by a large majority, and that majority, I may say, con tained some of the most distinguished men, and was supported by the opinion of some of the most patriotic, moat learned, and most eminent men in the State. (Hear, hear.) Then all I argue from this is not that the State of Massachusetts may not finally establish secret bal lot, but, at least, it is matter of contention among them ; and one party, at least, having this year a majority in the Legislature, refuses to carry on that secret ballot, and de cided that it should be repealed. We know, likewise, that, as my right hon. friend the Secretary at War has stated that the Government of New York has stated openly that bribery and corruption are making great ad vance in that State, and was an evil that required to be checked by a new law. Can any man any longer state that for bribery and intimidation they have a perfect and infal lible remedy when you have such accounts from the United States of America, where it was said to have been most successful ? Well, I say, not that America certainly will finally have recourse to open voting—although au old pa triot of America, John Randolph, said that secret voting, if it did not find a nation scoundrels was sure to make them so—(laughter)—for it may be that the United States of America may think it expedient to adopt some course of secret ballot • but what I believe is, that they will not persist in that law, but will prefer the open ballot. If that is the case—if we, in fact, have no example, either in ancient or modern times, of this mode of secret voting be ing successful (the only example of its success being in the Republic of Venice, where it established despotism), then I say, at least let us pause until we have some surer foun dation to rest a belief on that this secret voting is a suffi- , cient remedy for the evils complained of ; and let us keep that mode of voting which has been found consistent and compatible with all that is noble, with all that is manly, and with all that is free in our institutions. (Great cheer- ing. Lord D. STUART moved the adjournment of the de bate. (Loud and general cries of "Oh !") Lord J. RUSSELL appealed to the noble lord not to persist in his motion for adjournment. Mr. W. WILLIAMS hoped the noble lord would per sist in it. (Oh, oh !) The question was of vast importance, and members representing large constituencies should have an opportunity of expressing their sentiments. (Oh, oh !) The house then divided. For the adjournment Against it • Majority against the adjournment 264 The house again divided, on the motion that leave be given to bring in the bill, when there appeared— For the motion Against it 232 Majority against the motion 6O The motion was accordingly lost. Mr. AGLIONBY, at the request of Mr. Wilson, post poned for a fortnight his motion for an address for certain returns relating to the appointments under the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests. On the motion of Mr. BOWYER an address for further papers regarding the relations of foreign states with the 'Court of Rome was agreed to. DURHAM ELECTION. Mr. BENTINCK moved that the following members should compose the select committee on the Durham etiec tion petitions:—Mr. Bentinck, Mr. Biddulph, Mr. Fellow es, Mr. R. Phillimore, and Mr. I. Butt. Mr. HUTT objected to the proposed committee, and moved, as an amendment, that the general committee of elections should nominate five members to serve, instead of those proposed by the hon. member. After a short conversation, Mr. BENTINCK said that he would not press his motion. The motion was then negatived without a division, and the amendment was agreeSto. Sir J. YOUNG obtained leave to bring in a bill to ex tend the remedies for the compensation of malicious in juries to property in Ireland ; and also a bill to amend the acts regulating the salaries of resident magistrates in Ireland. THE CONVICTED PRISONERS' REMOVAL AND CONFINEMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee on the soap duties having been read, Au Hon. MEMBER moved that the house be counted. , The house was accordingly counted, and there being but 22 members present, it stood adjourned, at half-past ,two o'clock, until twelve o'clock this day. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 14. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The share market has been firm to-day. The following are the transactions :—Caledonian, 341 ; Eastern Counties, 131-16 ; Lancashire and Y or k s hi re , 78i ; London and North Western, 11.5 t ; Midland, 7 2 i ; South Eeastern and Dover, 21i ; York and North Mid land, 30./. MANCHESTER, JUNE 14. STOCK EXCHANGE.—There was a fair amount of business done to-day, and the tendency of prices was upward, though only slightly so. BIRMINGHAM, JUNE 14. STUCK EXCHANGE.—There were few commissions re ceived from a distance to-day, and consequently few trans actions, and no material alterations in quotations.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. - The departures from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the past week show a considerable increase, and the vessels, with one exception, have been of the larger class. They have comprised four to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of 2,676 tonnage ; five to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 2,6'26 tonnage ; two to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 1,252 tonnage ; two to Hobart-Town, with an aggregate burden of 704 tonnage ; and one to Portland Bay, of 851 tons. Their total capacity consequently was 8,109 tons. The ship ments of manufactures and ordinary descriptions of mer chandise have been large, and the rates of freight con tinue to exhibit a tendency to decline. The• Emigration Commissioners have advertised for a vessel to carry emigrants to Melbourne and to Victoria. She is to be ready for passengers on the Bth of August. ~. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY AND INVENTION FOR GRINDING WHEAT.—We observe by the journals that Westrup's conical mills are excitinc , great attention. A working model was before the Institute of Civil Engineers last week ; another is in the Dublin Exhibition ; a third was in the Great Exhibition, and gained the prize. Mills are already erected in London, France, Austria, Bel gium, and Mexico. The mills in London are working night and day, grinding three times the quantity of the ordinary mills, and yet unable to supply a tithe of the demand. The eminent Dr. Thomson, F.R.S.E., has certified from analysis that the flour made from the conical mills contains one-fourth more of nutritious matter—we presume gluten—than that produced by the common process. We observed one of the patentees (Mr. Northouse) on the Bench yesterday at the Town hall, and infer from thence that as our town mills were intended for the common good, that a system which makes more and better bread will be adopted at Cam bridge. It is stated that the saving in quantity annually from the wheat now consumed in this country would be (in the event of the adoption of the conical principle) not less than eighty-one million quartern loaves, which, at 6d. each, makes the prodigious money saving of up wards of two millions sterling.—Cambridge Independent. _ lADVRRTISEMENT.I—Summer dresses.—Bankruptcy of Mr. B.

On the resolution for repealing the duty, Mr. FREWEN moved, as an amendment, the inser• tiou of words to repeal the hop duties also, but the Chairman decided the amendment was out of order, and it was withdrawn. The original motion was then agreed to, and the house having resumed, the resolutions were ordered to be reported to-morrow. SEAMEN'S SAVINGS BANKS. Mr. FRENCH obtained leave to bring in a bill to establish seamen's savings banks. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at 6 o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day). MANCHESTER, June 14.—The American accounts (ex tracts fromwh ich will be found elsewhere) report an upward tendency in the price of cotton, notwithstanding the receipt of dull advices from this side. The then unfavourable state of the weather for the new crop is the alleged cause. The circumstances just named, aided by the opera tives' demand for higher wages and reduced hours of labour, have occasioned, on the one hand, rather more inquiry for yarns and goods, and, on the other hand, a disposition to harden in price on the part of spinners, with greater firmness amongst manu facturers. Yarns may be stated as decidedly firm at the extreme quotations of last week. The buyers, how ever, proceed with caution, and the transactions of the day are not large ; indeed, producers are not inclined to enter into long contracts in the existing state of the rela tions betwixt themselves and their work-people. For India and China there is scarcely anything doing either in yarns or goods. At Stockport, as we stated on Sa turday, all the mills whose occupiers are members of the association have entirely ceased working. The number of hands thus withdrawn from production is estimated at 15,000 to 18,000. . . . ROCHDALE, June 13.—The market has been quiet to day and very little doing. This is generally a slack month, as it is too early for the commencement of win ter orders. The wool dealers are very willing to sell at the old prices. HALIFAX, June 11.—The threatening aspect of the political world has made even this dull market duller than it was ; and there is very little demand for any de scription of worsted goods. Yarns continue much the same. There is but little doing in wool, and the quota tions are much as they were. The new clip has not, so far, had any noticeable effect upon prices. HUDDERSFIELD, June 14.—There has been a slight improvement in the tone of our market this week upon las . Rather more has been done generally throughout the trade, but more especially in new patterns, of which they are pretty well bought up ; low qualities in fancies seem to be in pretty good request. BIRMINGHAM, June 13.—The prospects of the trade have not improved during the past fortnight. Several circumstances have transpired to prevent any revival of confidence, or renewed activity among merchants and consumers ; not the least prominent of these has been the continued exhibition by the ironmasters themselves, with a few honourable exceptions, of distrust in their own position, and the shameless underselling resorted to in some descriptions of both wrought and pig iron. A reduction of 10s. or 20s. is predicted in some quarters, and at the same time an expectation is naively expressed that the principal of going down with the prices of iron will be cheerfully recognised by the workmen, in ac cepting a corresponding reduction of wages with grati tude for past favours.

WHITECHAPLE IMPROVEMENT BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. A. PELLATT objected to certain provisions in the bill, which sanctioned the raising of 2,0001. for the repair of Whitechapel church, and gave the parish power to levy a church rate for that purpose. He was de cidedly averse to such a provision, but considering that the parish had already been put to considerable expense in printing the bill, which contained many useful enact ments, he should not oppose the third reading. The bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time :—East Lancashire Railway (No. 1) (Clifton to Salford) Bill ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Barnsley) Bill ; Montgomeryshire Railway Bill ; Newry and Enniskillen Railway Bill ; Saint Ives and West Cornwall Junction Railway Bill ; Saint Ives (Cornwall) Harbour Bill ; Warrington and Altrincham Junction Railway (Warrington, &c.) Bill. Cotham's Estate Bill and Richmond (Yorkshire) Bur gage Pasture Bill, were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Mr. A. PELLATT presented a petition from the glass -cutters of Birmingham in favour of the Combina tion of Workmen's Bill ; also several petitions from various building societies against the Registration of Assurances Bill. Mr. LEA presented a petition from Warwick against the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Lord's day. Mr. BLACKETT presented a petition from the brass-founders of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in favour of the Combination of Workmen's Bill. Mr. COBBETT presented petitions to the same effect from Glasgow, Maidstone, Oldham, and Barnsley. Several petitions were presented against the Inspection of Nunneries Bill. Mr. T. CHAMBERS presented a number of petitions from different parts of the country in favour of the bill. Mr. SCOBELL presented a petition from the artizans of Bath, in favour of the Combination of Workmen's Bill. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition from the Society of Friends in Preston, praying that beer shops and public houses may be closed. on Sundays. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from the inhabitants of Kingston, in Jamaica, in favour of ocean penny postage. Mr. COWAN presented a petition from the Scottish Reformation Society in favour of the Inspection of Nun neries Bill, and praying that it may be extended to Scotland. Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from Stockport, praying the house to address her Majesty to use her good offices for the withdrawal of the French and Austrian troops from Rome. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL presented a petition from certain solicitors, praying for reforms in the Equity Courts. ELECTIONS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. In clause 1, Mr. FREIVEN said this clause provided that the election for a county should take place within six days after the issue of the writ. Now if this bill only applied to general elections there would be no objection to it, but a county member might be appointed to an office, and in the event of the electors being anxious to change their representative, there would be no time to find a successor within the brief space of six days. He would therefore suggest that words should be introduced for restricting the operation of the bill to general elections. After a few words from Mr. BUTT, who could not accede to the amendment, Mr. E. DENISON recommended the committee not to proceed further with the bill, as the whole question of Parliamentary reform would have to be considered next year. Mr. AGLIONBY had no confidence in the anticipated large measure of reform, and he hoped the committee would not consent to part with this small measure.. Mr. HUME also thought it would be better to leave the matter embraced in this bill to be dealt with in the larger measure next year. Mr. SCOBELL saw no necessity whatever for delay, as it would be just as easy to incorporate the provisions of the bill with the larger measure after the bill passed as before. Mr. BUTT could not consent to withdraw the bill at his stage. Mr. V. SMITH urged the propriety of withdrawing Jie bill, more especially as notice had already been given by the right hon. gentleman the member for Mid hurst of a bill to deal with the whole question of elec tions, whereas this bill only related to elections for et:unties. After some further discussion it was agreed that clause 1 should be postponed, with the view of being amended with clause 2. Sir G. GREY suggested that the limit between the issue of the writ and the election should be twelve in stead of six days, and Lord R. GROSVENOR supported the suggestion. Mr. BUTT said he should htWre no objection to adopt this amendment, but as clause 1 had been postponed, it would be necessary to postpone this clause too. After some further discussion, the clause was post poned accordingly. The remaining clauses were then agreed to. Mr. BUTT then proposed several additional clauses regulating the manner of taking the poll at the elections for the Universities, which were agreed to. Captain SCOBELL moved the following clause : That no poll at any such election shall be taken at any inn, hotel, tavern, public-house, or other premises licensed for the sale of beer, wine, or spirits, or in any bwoth, hall, room, or other place directly communicating therewith, unless by consent of all the candidates, expressed in writing. After a short discussion, in which Mr. Palmer, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Mills, and Lord R. Grosvenor took part, the clause was agreed to. The Chairman then left the chair, and the house resumed. SALE AND rIIRCHASE OF LAND DILL. Mr. DRUMMOND moved the second reading of this bill, with the object of referring it to the select com mittee appointed to sit on the bill on the same subject sent down from the House of Lords. _ _ Mr. BOUVERIE objected to the practice of referring two bills on the same subject, but different in principle, to the same committee. It was calling on a committee to do that which was the proper duty of the house to decide between two different principles. Mr. BUTT said it was the desire of the committee on the Registration of Assurances Bill, to have this bill referred to it. . Mr. MALINS had the greatest objection to the prin ciple of the bill, and certainly would not have consented to its being read a second time, except on the condition that it was to be referred to a select committee. Mr. E. DENISON, as chairman of the Registration of Assurances Bill committee, said it was the desire of that committee to have this bill referred to them. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be referred to the committee on the Registration of As surances Bill. LEASING POWERS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said this was in fact a Govern ment bill, as it had been brought in by the late Attor ney and Solicitor Generals for Ireland. It ought, there fore, to be postponed until after the other orders of the day. After a short discussion. The SPEAKER decided that the bill could not be un derstood to be a Government bill. The house then went into committee on the bill. Progress was made as far as clause 10, when the Chairman was directed to report progress, and the house having resumed, the Chairman did so accordingly, and obtained leave to sit again. COMB INATION 'OF WORKMEN BILL . This bill " amended, was read a' third time and passed, BRUTAL MURDER IN GLASGOW. A murder of a most savage character was perpetrated here on Sunday morning. It appears that two men, named Alexander Boyd and James Law, and who are ship car penters by trade, had been drinking together very freely in the course of Saturday night.. About one o'clock on Sunday morning they were in the street, when they were accosted by some loose women, who enticed, first Law, and then Boyd, into a low den in the New Vennel, kept by a woman named Helen Blackwood. About an hour after wards Boyd was precipitated from the window above to the street below, by which he sustained such severeinjuries on the skull that he died instantly. So far as we have beeh able to ascertain, the circumstances attending this brutal case were as follow :—Shortly after they bad been decoyed into the house liquor was produced, of which the two men partook. This drink, there is good reason to believe, had been previously drugged, in consequence of which Law became totally insensible, and his companion par tially so. When they had been reduced to this state the woman Blackwood, already referred to, a man named Hans Smith Macfarlane, with whom she cohabited, and another woman named Mary Hamilton, proceeded to strip the insensible men of their clothing and property. As Boyd was a powerful man he was not so completely stupefied as his companion, and he made resistance when he found the wretches in the act of taking off his clothes. They succeeded, how ever, in overpowering hint and removing his boots, trousers, vest, and jacket, and one of the women was observed to rifle his pockets after the clothes had been taken off the man's person. Boyd, how ever had so much consciousness left as to know that he had been plundered, and, when demanding back his property, or threatening the thieves with the police, he was dragged to the window and tossed over head foremost from a height of three storeys, or about 26 feet. He fell heavily on the back of his head, by which the skull was extensively fractured, and, as we have said, death was instantaneous. The den in 'which this bloody tragedy was acted is only eight feet in length by six feet fbur inches in breadth ; and it happened that, in addition to the perpetrators and the two ship carpenters, there were present two destitute boys, the one aged 14 and the other 10, who, from some acquaintance with Blackwood had got shelter in the place and under the bed. These boys, the pre sence of whom must have been forgotten for the moment, witnessed all that took place ; and, moreover, some women, who suspected that unfair play was go ing on, also observed what was in progress inside through a chink in the door. When Boyd's body was tossed over, the alarm was given by the women who had been lo•king through the hole, and the police were immediately upon the spot. The women Blackwood and Hamilton and the man Macfarlane had meanwhile decamped, the only persons left in the house being the boys. already referred to and Law, who lay on the floor in a state of insensibility. Officers were instantly dispatched with a description of the offenders to the various police-stations, and men were also set upon the watch at almost every portion of the municipality. The woman Hamilton was speedily captured in High-street, and between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning Macfarlane and Blackwood were ap prehended while passing through a vacant spot of ground in Bridgeton, the one following the other, with the evident intention of escaping from the city. In addition inquiries were set on foot by Captain Mackay, which are likely at the proper time to produce a con vincing body of evidence regarding the actual perpetra tion of this cruel and reckless murder. The man Law was taken to the police-office, but from the large quan tity that he had drunk during the evening, and the drugged liquor which was afterwards administered to him, he had no recollection of a single circum stance that occurred. It appears that the unfortunate man Boyd had been recently living in Valparaiso, and came to this country a few months ago to look after some property which he had i n h er ited in consequence of the death of his mother in Edinburgh. During his residence in this neighbourhood he lodged in Finmeston-lane, which place he left On Friday last with the intention of going to Port Glasgow. Whether he went there or not we have no means of knowing, but on the following day he met with Law, who was an old acquaintance, and at that time he was on his way to Dumbarton. Instead of going there, however, the two men, unfortunately, commenced a drinking bout which has had the lamentable termina tion we have already detailed.
