( as we understood). At the same time, if this is to be a he neral and permanent tax, I cannot object to the landed property of Ireland bearing its share. It seems that there is to be a remission of 4,000,0001. out of the consolidated annuities. Now that is one of the oddest compensations that has ever been made. There are districts in Ireland subject to burdens which it is impossible they can ever ' 'bear, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer says, " I will relieve you from these burdens which you cannot be.ar,and that is to be a compensation for the new burdens which I am about to impose on new districts and individuals neve'r, - before subject to them." The right hon. gentlgnian com pensatea one person by taking something out of another person's pocket. The noble earl has taken great credit for the system introduced by Sir R. ,Pgel, the constant reduc tion of duties, the revision. of ,taxation, and the inestimable advantages to be derived from it ; but he does not observe that he thereby aeitroys his whole case. If in the course of seven years you go on reducing taxation, although at the ( expiration of seven years the country may have rec overed the revenue which she now sacrifices, yet if you go on making further reductions, and taking off other taxes, o and using your surplus in carrying out the principles e e trade as fast as you make it—and in the p resent feelings of Parliament there seems to be an intention of puEsuing that course—it is quite clear that, instead of having 5i the noble earl will not have one shilling more in the exche quer, which he calculates upon for the purpose at the end of seven years of getting rid of the income tax—(hear)—and I do not believe that Parliament will submit for the next 7 years to see accumulated a surplus which will amount in 5 or 6 years to an annual surplus of 5,000,0001., without be ing disposed to avail itself of that surplus as it arises, and, consequently, revenue and expenditure will be brought nearer together, and the object you profess to have in view will be defeated. I submit to this income tax—l believe it to be inevitable, and I am not prepared to ask your lord ships to refuse that which is necessary for the credit of the country. But lam not deluded by the suggestion on the part of the Government that this is intended to be a merely temporary tax, nor by the credit which theyhave taken to themselves for the sincerity of their intentions to get rid of it within a limited period. I believe that there will be continual renewals of this tax, and that in submitting to it, with all its injustice and all its inequalities, we are sub mitting to a tax—nominally indeed for 7 years—but of which neither the noble earl nor I will ever see the end. Lord PORTMAN wished to say a few words on this subject, as he felt that he should not bo doing his duty to their lordships, who had entrusted him with the chair of the committee appointed by the house to consider the question of the income tax, if he did not inform their lord ships that there was a clause in this bill directly opposed to the unanimous recommendation of that committee, and which, as it seemed to him, inserted the narrow end of the wedge, and w ou ld cause , a t no distant time, a larger fis sure. He alluded to the clause which, for the first time in legislation, provided that the fees and emoluments of the clergy were to be deemed as fair subjects for remission of taxation, so far as such charges were necessary to the per formance of their duties as clergymen. This was a subject which the committee had inquired into with the greatest possible attention, and the Bishop of Oxford had taken every pains to induce the committee to come to a resolution that, in all assessments of charges for the clergy, a certain remission should be made in their favour. This remission was now for the first time admitted into the bill, and if he were to allow the matter to pass in silence, he felt that he should be neglecting his duty to the committee and to their lordships. He must say that, when all the charities of the country were about to be taxed, he did not think it quite a wise antagonism on the part of the clergy to come before Parliament in this fashion. With respect to the general merits of the measure he would observe that, in his opinion they were e x t en di n g 'too widely direct taxation. Direct taxation was constraint, but indirect taxation was consent. The income tax and the succession tax were alike con straint—the money must be paid on a given day. • But the tax on beer and on tobacco was not felt, because it was paid only when parties chose to have the commodities. Direct taxation was very expensive to individuals, and it was equally true that indirect taxation was very expensive to the country ; but he did not see why both one and the other species of taxation might not be made less expensive than they were. But they were told that some of the in equalities of the income tax would be removed by another direct tax. Now, with respect to that tax—the succes sion duty—he believed it would be a considerable boon to those who held land in fee, but it would confer no benefit whatever upon those who possessed only a life interest -in land. (Hear, hear.) For these reasons he objected to the continuance of the income tax in its present shape. Lord BERNERS (who was very indistinctly heard) was Understood to object to the income tax generally as an bust and inquisitorial, and compl a in e d especially of this ill, by which nominally a tax of 7d. in the pound was imposed on land, when in fact it amounted to 9d. ; and he denied that any one could defend the incidents of a tax of this description. Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the noble lord who had just sat down with regard to the great evils of the tax which he had pointed out ; but there were also many others besides those which the noble lord had noticed. For example, money invested in improvements or in trade, 'with a view to its being replaced by profits at a future time, but not immediately, and from which the most provident man never expected any real income for two or three years, was dealt with at the very instant it yielded , any return, and was pounced upon and made subject to . • this tax. This was in fact making it a tax not on income but on capital. That was one of many objections to the tax, but it was liable to one observation, namely that it was unequal, and not modification of the tax could ever remove that inequality. Therefore, when his noble friend complained of the peculiar position in which the house was placed in consequence of what he (Lord Brougham) would call the conflict between the two houses, on a point of privilege, which he did not admit to belong solely to the other house, but which their lordships yielded, and by reason of which taxes were received from the other house as they came, he would say that there was no means of getting rid of that inequality by altering the bill in their lordships' house. Again, income derived from land in fee simple was dealt with in the same way as that derived from settled property, and the tenant for life treated in the same manner as the possessor in fee. But there was great difficulty in making any difference between the two. Income derived from land or personalty was also dealt with in the same way as that derived from labour. Never theless, the difficulty of adjusting those inequalities had been found insuperable, and that caused his late lamented friend Lord Melbourne to say of this tax, that "he was aware of the hardship and pressure it brought on every class, and in his view that was its great recommendation, for no property escaped, and every one was compelled to pay it." That was true, but it was asked, could it not be so applied, as that while every one paid it, the inequality could be lessened. But every one who had had to deal with it had found, when it was examined, that partly from the difficulty of adjusting a scale, and partly from the danger of evasion, it was impossible so to construct the tax. Those were not all the objections to the tax. He had stated in 1842 and 1851 other objections. There was no doubt that one of those objections could not be removed by any modification, and that was the inquisitorial nature of the tax. That objection did not apply so much to in comes derived from land, which were generally tolerably -Aerie - le -vil— BATTERSEA PARS. Sir W.

When he urged those arguments, and moved resolutions Tho Marquis of BLANDFORD presented a petition in accordance with th em , hi s l a t e illustrious friend, from 800 incumbents of district parishes, stating that there the Duke of Wellington, and the noble earl then were many church endowments which did not exceed 131.

This tax was of episcopal and capitular property, he must ask the indul only not worse than a tax on the food of the people„- than gence of the house while he entered upon a subject wide in a tax on the knowledge of the people ; and than a tax on its range and almost incalculable in its results. He wished law proceedings; and, looking at it as one of the worst first to allude to what had been previously done as re taxes, he retained the opinions he expressed, and would garded Church legislation, tending as it had done to place be ready to reiterate tam resolutions which he moved in the Church in its present position.

Then came the important act of species of income. Without the hope of the tax ending at 1810, the 3d and 4th of Victoria, constituting the ecclesias the time his noble friend stated, he yet admitted that the tical commission. Then they had the 6th and 7th of Vic state of the finances of the country rendered it necessary. toria, commonly called Sir Robert Peel's Act, in which The Marquis of CLANRICARDE was one of these who , was first adopted the principle of providing, in the sub oppcsed the income tax when it was introduced by Sir R. division of, parishes, for the creation of a permanent en- Peel. They were told then that it was imposed for three dowment. Then there was an act passed in 1850, recoil years, but he thought then that it would be permanent, stituting the Ecclesiastical Commission, and appointing a and he did not now see any real reason why it should now most important body, called the estates commissioners ; terminate in seven years. The tax was at first calculated and, lastly, there was an act passed in 1851, permitting the to produce three millions, and he (Lord Clanricarde) said voluntary enfranchisement of the property of the Church — then that it would produce five millions, and he agreed an act which had gone far to set at rest the long vexed with the noble earl (Derby) that no minister nor any House question between the Church and its lessees. To all these Of Commons would give it up in 1860. His objection to acts the bill which he now proposed had more or leas im the t x was that it was dangerous to rely on as a source of mediate reference. There were, however, other acts which finance ; for, if a government was strong enough to carry had a very important bearing on the present position of a large amount of taxation, this tax afforded great facility the Esti blished Church. One of these was, the act for the for imposing high taxes. It also afforded a temptation to commutation of tithes ; another was the act for preventing an economical House of Commons to curtail necessary ex- plurality and non-residence ; and then, again, there was penditure. He objected to the system in the present bill the important order in council of 1851, limiting the income of graduated direct taxation. The Chancellor of the Ex- of bishops and fixing their future amount. In addition to chequer had laid down excellent principles by which all this, efforts had been made by private individuals, direct taxation should be guided, and yet in three instances which it would not be right for him to pasi over.

In the same year Mr. Hemmen not think it possible the Government ever in- moved for an inquiry into the full value of all Church tended to presd it. Again, he saw no provision in the property under lease.

Tho object with which the Government had fixed the period of seven years for the continuance of the tax was the very reverse of that which had been assumed by the noble lord opposite—that of fixing it more firmly upon the financial system of the country—that period had been adopted on the assumption, founded on facts, that year after year the revenue would so increase from the impetus given to trade by the removal of those imposts and excise duties which had hitherto acted as checks to the full de velopment of the resources of the country, that by the year 1860 we might• altogether dispense with a tax which, he admitted, should be resorted to only under special cir cumstances: As a permanent source of revenue such a tax was in the greatest degree objectionable and unconsti tutional, being, as it was, a tax not only on the pockets, but on the feelings of the people. With regard to the ex tension of the tax to Ireland, he thought the time had come for considering how far the taxes of the two countries should be imposed upon the principle of equality. It was not because the consolidated annuities were remitted that the income tax was imposed, but as it was considered un just to continue to exact from Ireland the payment of those annuities which formed a galling and most unequal impost, and as it was impossible longer to exempt that country from the taxes paid by this, the moment was thought favourable for sweeping away those consolidated annuities, which, more than any income tax could do, had tended to check the prosperity of the country, and at the same time establishing something like equality between the two ccuntries. (Hear.) As to the mode of levying the tax in Ireland, the Government had given the subject the fullest attention, and had adopted the mode proposed in the bill as the most equitable and fair to all parties. It had been said that a property tax was a war tax, and shOuld only be imposed in time of war. He earnestly hoped that it might be long before we should have to resort to it for that pur pose—(hear, hear)—but should war unfortunately . come, the continuance of this tax would be found to have raised up a giant ready to be appropriated to the national-defence and the national honour, and by placing the 6011088131 the country in a position to enable it to maintain ita,Position a aunc , st the nations of the earth. In the eir"Ortt of a .waf we should take the surest means of preserving keace. The Earl of WICKLOW approved of the extension of the tax to Ireland, but objected that the mode in which it was to be imposed would make it equal to upwards of a shilling instead of sevenpence in the pOund upon the land in that country. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) CON TINUANCE ACT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of this bill, entered into a brief explanation of the nature and extent of its provisions. After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE and the Earl of CLANCARTY, the bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed. BURGH HARBOURS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. Their lordships then adjourned at twenty minutes to nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY. ) The SPEAKER took the chair at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Londonderry, Ennis killen, and Sligo Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway ; and West minster Improvements. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—British Electric Telegraph Company; Great Southern and Western Railway (Ireland); Liver pool, Crossby, and Southport Railway. The Spitalfields to Shoreditch Improvement Bill was read a second time. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved that the Spitalfields to Shoreditch Improvement Bill be referred to a select committee, and that the committee do consist of Sir William Molesworth, Sir William Clay, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord Seymour, Mr. Osborne, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, and five to be added by the committee of selection ; three to be the quorum. That the com mittee have leave to sit and proceed upon Monday next. —Agreed to. Russell) heartily concurred in the motion for leave to in- ' troduce the bill ; and he trusted the noble lord would not unduly press a measure of such importance at a period of the session when Parliament might not be able to give to it that attention which it deserved. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME considered the bill of the noble lord was of the utmost importance, but he complained that it - wholly overlooked the secular education of the masses of the people. His (Mr. Hume's) opinion was that the interest of the Church required that no dignatary should bo maintained in her ser vice unless he had duties to perform, and that her ser vant should be paid in proportion to the duties they had to discharge. When so large a sum as 3,000,0001. had been raised by the voluntary contributions of the Free Church of Scotland, he surely was not wronc , in expecting that much more zeal and spirit might be shown by the rich and wealthy in this country. At any rate, he rejoiced that now the first step had been taken ; because, though he could not agree with all the propositions of the noble mar quis, he was sure it would effect a great reform which had long been wanting in the Church. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HEADLAM expressed his entire concurrence in the object of tho noble lord. With respect to the diocese of Durham, the operation of the scheme of the commissioners was to divert the church funds of that district, and apply them to the country at large, leaving the population of Dur ham comparatively destitute. Newcastle, with Gateshead, contained a population of 113,000 ; they had been applied to to raise a fund for the Church, to which they had ac ceded, though it was very hard upon them that their own funds should be diverted in the way ho had described. Tho population of this county of Durham had increased faster than any other district, with the exception of Lan cashire and one or two others—the result of the open ing of the great coal field there ; and there was no doubt that r. district with a population so rapidly grow ing musk equiro a great extension of. church accommoda tion. H.. eshoulti endeavour to introduce into the bill a clause giving the districts where the funds were produced a prior claim upon triena. Sir B. HALL said he had long paid attention to this subject, and had endeavoured to bring about a better dis tribution of church property, in consequence of which he had been exposed to•much obloquy. He certainly did not expect, at so early a period, to see the House of Commons acquiescing in the proposition to permit a bill like that to be introduced, which went further that anything he had ever proposed. He .would not enter largely into the sub ject, as there seemed a unanimous feeling that tho propo sition should go forward, and should be discussed on the second reading. If it were proposed that the revenues of the church should be made available for the church gene rally, instead of for particular districts, he would give it is hearty supports The church ought to be viewed generally, not in sections ; and if any district was more richly endowed than. another—if there was more property in Durham than was necessary for the wants of the community—the poorer districts ought to have the benefit of the distribution of that property. (Hear, hear.) In Wales, real poverty might be seen among the working clergy ; and any proposal to make the su perfluous' wealth of the diocese of Durham available for the wants of the church, Dither in the poorer districts of England, or in the principality, should have his hearty support. He sincerely hoped that the bill would pass into a law this session, being confident that its result would be to render the church more beloved and more cared for. Mr. EWART expressed his approval of the loading features of the bill. Ho wished to call attention to an anomaly in the working of tho capitular act, by which the deans on the old foundations received more than those on the new, who were limited to 1,0001. a year, and somo of them actually received less than the canons. In this respect, the object of the act had been defeated ; and he hoped the bill now proposed would.supply a remedy. Mr. FERGUSON spoke in praise of the efforts of the hard-working clergy, to whom, he said, the present efficient state of the church was mainly due. (Hear.) In his own name, and in the name of the working clergy, he thanked the noble marquis for having introduced the bill. Mr. A. PELLATT concurred in the tribute of praise which was bestowed on the noble lord for having intro duced the bill. He sympathised with the distresses of the working clergy of the Church of England, but, at the same time, there were clergymen in the enjoyment of large incomes for which they did but little in return. He thought there ought to be a most searching inquiry into those incomes, and into the management of church pro perty. As a nonconformist he thought he was entitled to claim a part of the merit for the nonconformist clergy in helping to bring about the improved state of things which the noble marquis referred to. Mr. PHILLIMORE observed that pluralities were rapidly disappearing, and by the existing laws it was im possible they could be renewed. The Marquis of BLANDFORD, in reply, tendered his thanks to the government for the manner in which they had received his motion, which he agreed in thinking, with his hon. friend the member for Marylebono, was a sign of a great advance. (Hear, hear.) Leave was then given to brillg in the bill. SEPTENNIAL ACT. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING I :;JUNE 22, 185:3. hearts of all true lovers of the wooden walls of Old Eng land.

With the exception of what has been done upon the Northumberland Plate (which has been an excellent betting race for those who commenced laying early), there has been little betting since Friday. Coomberland Stathesman, who has for some time been shaky, now seems to be quite gone. Colsterdale has been destined to have many ups and downs in the market ; since Sa turday as much as 9 to 1 has been laid against him, and on Monday, for some time after they began to muster at the Post-office Hotel, he seemed nearly friendless ; one individual, hOwever, who generally drops in rather late, began taking eights, seven, and in one bet 600 to 100, and seemed inclined to go on at that price, and, at the finish sto 1 was the highest offer. A few investments were made upon St. Michael at 13 to 1, and 100 to 8 was taken a time or two about Harbinger for the Liverpool Cup. 20 to 1 was taken to 501. about Blight for next year's Derby, and Marley Hill was supported at 25 to 1.

In the Country. _ to a recent period there might have been some question as to whether the constitution of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion was such as to have warranted such a step ; but a short time ago a committee was formed to inquire into the Management of this kind of property, and the result had been the appointment of the Estates Commissioners. The advantages that would accrue from his proposition would be great and manifold. In the first place, it would strength and improve that great parochial system, the full effects derived from which were rarely attributed to it. He believed, however, that it had contributed largely to the formation of the temper and moderation of the people of this country, besides bestowing upon them those spiritual bless ings which it had been enabled to convey The subdivision of parishes into smaller ones was a process that ought to go on concurrently with the increase of the population. (Cheers.) This house had been forward to promote the building of churches and the formation of district parishes, eash one of which had tended to repress crime, and to form a nucleus round which charitable societies of all kinds — schools, district visiting societies, provident societies, lite rary societies, and other benevolent institutions, the object of which was to benefit the people and to ameliorate their social, mental, and moral condition might cluster. (Cheers.) Nay, more ; the poor had been enabled to find by this means that which no civil institutions could pro vide fur them, the care of a Christian pastor, and the sym pathy of a common friend. (Hear, hear.) That was his (the noble lord's) view of the parochial system. (Cheers.) Betvveen the years 1845 and 1850 the sum granted from the public purse to promote education in Church of Eng land schools, was 327,2301.; and the sum raised by private subscriptions to meet that amount had been no less than 399,8171. (Cheers.) There could, therefore, be no doubt that the offer of endowment would operate as a powerful incentive to church building. (Hear, hear.) The number of churches erected under the Church Building Acts was 857 ; the number of districts formed under Peel's Act was 233 ; and the number of churches, shown by recent in quiries to be necessary, was 580, making a total of 1,670 tu endow which with 1501. a year each would require 250,5001. To this must be added 100,4671. required for the fulfilment of the virtual promise which had been held out by the commissioners in 1836, and the gross annual charge would then be 350,9671. Now, the returns of 1836 showed that the sums,received for fines and renewals, calculated on an average of three years, was about 25 per cent. of the real value of the estates. The entire annual value of the ' • episcopal capitular property was 661,4351. Adding the value of the episcopal property, the total value of the church leases was 961,6971. per annum. It appeared from the results of the enfranchisement of leases, which had of late been gradually going on, the church parted with half the value, of its estates, and that the other half remained in hand. That would give about 480,0001., and, adding the sums that would accrue from other sources there would be a total. of 700,7751., a year. Of course it would be rather difficult to calculate the precise income of church dignitaries; but remembering that the incomes of the bishops had already been settled— commuting the incomes of deans and chapters at the rate recommended by this house, at 1,0001, and 6001. respec tively, and reckoning the average yearly cost of the cathe dral establishments at 1,.001. a-year each, the result they would arrive at would be that the total charge on the fund for all the dignitaries of the church would be 363,7501. a year. Deducting that from the sum with which they had to deal, it left a surplus of 337,0261.; while the sum required was 351,0001. Upon a calculation, the value of the episcopal leasehold property was 299,0001. ; and taking that of the chapters at one-fifth, instead o one-sixth, the value of capitular leasehold property was 826,729/. ; giving a total of 1,125,8421. Adding the property derived'from other sources, 809,7181., the available surplus, after providing for the incomes of the dignitaries, was 445,9681., whereas the sum required immediately was 351,0001. Ho might fairly conclude that, under a wise and efficient administra tion, there would be not only sufficient to meet the imme diate wants of the Church, but that as the ,population increased a further appeal might be made, and not in vain, to the resources of the Establishment. He proposed by this measure simply to transfer the entire management of the episcopal and capitular property into the hands of the Estates Commissioners, and to invest them with legal con ' trol over the property or the purposes of management only, making them the lawful receivers of the rents and profits, with some exceptions. He wished this great step to be taken with as little alteration as possible ; and 'the bill did not in any way take the property out of those Corporations in which it was now vested. The bill further provided that a separate account should be kept of the properties of each individual corporation, to which they should have at all times access, either by themselves or by their agents, and that a seal should be used, having a distinctive die for each. With regard to the transfer of property, the bill did not interfere with the enfranchisement pro vided for in 1847. It provided that estates might be assigned to each see stfficient to yield its annual in. come, instead of the plan now adopted, whereby the richer sees paid over their surplus to the com missioners, while the poorer sees received an annual sum from them. The payment was to be a first rent charge upon the property ; and in the event of the payments not being regularly made, or delayed after a certain time, immediate powers for re-entry would be con ferred. Some of the sees were already in the receipt of fixed incomes, including those appointed since 1848, also some others who had agreed to take them. He proposed, with regard to those and all capitular estates, that they should immediately come under the operation of the bill ; as to those appointed prior to 1818, it was proposed that the operation of the bill should be delayed till after the next appointment to the see. With regard to incomes, the bill provided that half-yearly returns should be made to the commissioners of all sums derived from accepted sources of income, which were not under the eyintrol of the commissioners ; and it was necessary that the income of the dignitaries should be made a first rent charge upon the property. Those dignitaries who were not in possession of a fixed income were to have such a sum paid to them as should make up what they were in any case entitled to re ceive. The provisions were very simple. The step he now proposed was the necessary consequence of all the previous legislation, and appeared necessary to render it complete. He had shown that the commissioners were already in possession of property to a considerable amount, over which they exercised little or no control. The position of the bishops was exceedingly unsatisfactory. (Hear, hear.} He proposed that it should be in every case their own property that should yield them their lawful amount of income ; that they should have constant access to the accounts of those properties ; that an account should be kept in every case distinct; that the fee should remain in themselves, the commissioners be ing only their agents ; and that the strongest caution should be adopted of which the law was capable to secure prompt and immediate payment. The population was increasing, and as thousands of forms of vice and danger were threatening the state, a heavy resposibility lay on the legislature, not only of framing enactments whose terrors Should repress crime, and of providing for the temporal comforts of the people, but of regarding them as beings entrusted to their care, with understandings given them from above, and with spirits framed in the mould of time, but destined for eternity. He would urge thts house to assert its indisputable rights over all matters, ecclesiastical as well as civil, and so to discharge its inalienable duty as to prove the necessity and the advantage of the union between Church and State. Events were now daily pro claiming that it was not only to human law, but to Divine assistance that we must look for the inviolability of our empire. The noble lord concluded by quoting some words of Archbishop Tillotson, in reference to Queen Anne's bounty to the church, and expressing a hope that they might prove applicable to the present time. Ho then moved for leave to bring in a bill to make better provision for the management of episcopal and capitular property. LIVERPOOL ELECTION COMMITTEE. The consideration of tha noble marquis's motion was suspended for a little by the appearance at the bar of Ingham, the chairman of the Liverpool, Election Commit tee, with the report of the committee, which he read as follows :—" That Charles Turner and William Forbes Mackenzie, Esqs., were not duly elected burgesses to serve in this present Parliament for the borough of Liverpool. " That the last election for the said borough is a void election " That the last election for the said borough, so far as regards the return of the said Charles Turner and William Forbes Mackenzie, Esqs., is a void election. " The committee have also agreed to, the following reso lutions : " That Charles Turner and William Forbes Mackenzie, Esqs. were by their agents guilty of bribery and treating. That it was proved to the committee that Wm. Dodd, Felix M'Leary, J. Underwood, William Harris, Owen Jones, John Foulds, Simon Croft, Charles Maxwell, Thos. Walthew, Robert Cook (of Clive-street), Joseph Parkinson, Robert Cook (of Walker's-court), Joseph Ovens, William Coward, Peter Rice, William James , Hamilton, John Brecken, Thomas Wilson, Richard Joyason, Robert Sar geant, and William Whitby, were bribcd by the payment of ss. each. (Laughter.) " That John Westmore, Robert Talbot, and John Brown were bribed by. the payment of 4s. each, and Thos. Cannell 'by the payment of 10s. ; but it was not proved that such bribery was committed by the knowledge and consent of the sitting members. " That refreshments were provided on the polling day for voters' in the interest of the sitting members, at'numer ous public-houses, where such voters had been directed to assemble for the purpose of being conducted to the poll ; but that it did not appear on the evidence that the treat ing which took place at such houses was of an extravagant character. " That the several sums of ss. and is., by which the above-named electors were reported to have been bribed, were given to them 'on account of having voted for the sitting. members 'under the name of the day's pay,' and in compensation for time alleged to have been lost by, attend ance at the election. " That these payments were net of an amount beyond the average daily earnings of the voters who received them, but from the disposition of the polling places in the several wards of the borough, every voter might have polled with-' out any such interruption of his ordinary employment, so as not to occasion the loss of wages, and without any neces sity for refreshments. ' • That so far as the conduct of the election on the part of the other candidates, came incidentally before the com mittee, there was no evidence, and the committee had no reason to believe, that any illegal practices took place with regard to the voters in the interest of such candidates, and in the majority of the cases where bribery, has been reported it did not appear to the committee that the illegal pay ments received by the voters had been the primary motive in deciding their votes. " The committee therefore do not think it right to re commend that the issue of a new writ for the said borough should be suspended, or that any further inquiry , should take place into the proceedings at the late election." ' The report•was ordered to lie upon the table. Mr. FRESHFIELD gave notice that he would on that day week move that a now writ issue for the 'election of two members to serve in Parliament for the borough of Liverpool. Lord D. STUART gays notice that when the hon. mem ber (Mr. Freshfield) brought forward that motion ho should move an amendment, the effect of which would be that at the next election for that borough the votes be taken by way of ballot. (An ironical laugh.) The SPEAKER having put the motion of, the Marquis of Blamlford, Lord J. RUSSELL said the noble lord had devoted a great deal of labour to this 'subject, and ho believed that the noble lord was animated by a very great regard for the good of the Church and the spiritual Welfare of her people. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the particular purpose of the noble lord, and the details •of his bill, he (Lord J. Russell) thought it was far better that the house should assent to the bill being brought in, and that they should thus have a full opportunity of considering its details, than that they should then enter into any dis cussion of the statement which the noble lord had made. It was evident that many of the propositions of the bill were of great importance, and that there were some to which objections might be made. He quite' agreed with the noble lord tilt% the house should not consider the acts which had been paised from 1836 to the present , time as forming a complete system, but that they should from time to time remove the objections. and extend the bene fits of those acts. With those 101(i - fords . Iv 3 (Lord J. 0101 -Amia The SPEAKER having called on Lord Dudley Stuart, whose motion for the repeal of the Septennial Act and of shortening the duration of parliaments, stood next on the notice paper, Mr. HUME submitted to his noble friend whether, con sidering that the government had promised to introduce a reform bill next session ; considering also the great im portance of the subject, the state of the house (which was very thin), and the prospect of the debate being inter rupted, it would be better for his noble friend not sub mit his motion under these circumstances. (Hear, hear.) Lord D. STUART said lie was most unwilling to post pone a question of so much importance as the shortening of the duration of parliaments, but at the same time he was desirous of giving every weight to the opinion of so old, so tried, and so steady a reformer as his hon. friend. He was quite aware also that he rose to bring forward his motion at the most critical hour of the day. (Laughter.) .Under these circumstances he would bow to the better judgment of his hon. friend. But he should decline to give any pledge as to the course he should pursue in reference' to the sub ject in the present session, or any future session of Parlia ment., (Hear, hear.) - The nietionwas tlien withdraws. SEIZURE OF WATCHES. ' Mr. M. CHAMBERS rose to move forle.' select com mittee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the unlawful seizure by two officers of the customs, on the 10th day of February, 1852, of foreign and English watches of the value of upwards of 5,0001., and of books, 'letters, papers and bills of exchange, the property of Lucien Marchand, and to ascertain what steps have been taken by the commissioners of customs to investigate the conduct of the officers, and to make restitution of such property. The hon. and learned gentleman, after a few introductory observations, and characterising the seizure as unlawful, was proceeding to state the circumstances under which it was made, when An HON. MEMBER moved that the house be counted. And there being but 35 members present, the house adjourned at a quarter to eight o'clock. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 21. ARRIVAL OF REAR-ADMIRAL CARRY'S SQUADRON AT SPITHEAD. Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron, consisting of the Prince Regent, 90 (flag) ; London, 90 ; Imperieuse, 60 ; Alnphion, 34 ; Highflyer, 21; and Leopard, 12, hove in sight off this port this day at half-past 12, and came up to Spitileaci - in the following order :—The Prince Regent, towed by the Leopard ; London, towed by the Impe rieuse ; Amphion, towed (!) by the Highflyer. The Prince Regent anchored at 1 55 p.m. ; London, at 2 ; Leopanl, at 2 4 Imperieuse, at 2 16 ; Amphion, at 220 ; and Highflyer, at 2 34. There is now assembled at this port the most powerful fleet of steamers of war the world can produce, among them nine sail of the line (sailers and steamers), and eight first-class frigates, as the following enumeration of their character s ill show : Horse- Name. Guns. power. Class. Duke of Wellington 131 780 Screw three-decker. Neptune 120 Sailing three-decker • Agamemnon Prince Regent OO Sailing two-decker. London _ .

Highflyer Odin Encounter Vesuvius, 14 360 Screw corette. 6 280 Paddle sloop. Banshee 2 360 Paddle express boat, A most appalling accident occurred on board the London. The Imperieuse had her in tow. By some unaccountable means the chain at the end of the towing hawser snapped, and in an instant killed First Lieu tenant Wellesley P. Chapman and five men, besides severely wounding five others, one of whom died shortly afterwards. On the same day a marine jumped ever board from the London, and was picked up by. High flyer's boat, which was instantly manned and lowered in time to pick up the man and save his life. The above accident happened when the Lizard bore N.E. by E. 730 miles. Barring accidents, the squadron, is healthy. It appears, that on coming out of Lisbon, the Am phion., broke her slide-valve, which placed her, as a cripple -in regard to steam. The squadron exchanged signals with the French merchant barque Brilliant, in lat. 41 55 N., and long. 14 15 W. ; they also, in leaving Lisbon on the 12th, passed the William M'Gower, of Dumfries. The evolutions of the squadron consisted of bending and reefing sails, beating to quarters, night attacks, boarding, &C. The Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, came out of the basin to-day, .and took up moorings off Gosport. She is fitting for sea with all expedition. The Odin, 16, Captain F. Scott, came into harbour to day to have her bottom examined. The Oberon steam-vessel, Lieut. Wise, came into har bour to-day to be paid off. The Banshee dispatch steam-vessel, Lieut. Hosken, came into harbour this afternoon to coal. The Royal yacht Victoria and. Albert, Capt. Crispin, received her crew to-day, and is now ready for her Ma jesty's service. -The Vernon Indiaman passed this port for London this morning, from Bombay. She sent in, by the Deal lugger, Axton, master, the following passengers : Lieut. T. J. Francis, of the 9th Lancers ; Ensign W m . Sheehy, 64th Regt. ; and Mrs. Abbott and family. COURTS-MARTIAL.--A court-martial took place on board the Victory this day to try Thomas Calmeaton, quartermaster of her Majesty's steamer Encounter, for stealing and disposing of an eyeglass belong in g to Mr. John Browne, naval cadet of the same ship. The case - depended upon the identity . of the receiver, and this not being satisfactory to the court the prisoner was acquitted. A court-martial has also been ordered on Thomas Ben nett Clarke, gunner of the Royal Marine Artillery of her Majesty's steamer Arrogant, for leaving his station, re fusing to do his duty, and for striking his serjeant. PRINCESS ROYAL, 91, SCREW.—Everything in connec tion with the progress of this launch is being carried into effect with the ,utmost energy. Seats have been erected for the accommodation of upwards of 5,000 per so4s. It has been considered necessary to carry out her ways some 20 feet, in case of any falling short of the rise of tide. Nothing has been spared to give effeet,.to the launch of this sister ship to Agamemnon, and we trust that a fine day will give effect to a scene ao dear to the and a half. 30 subs.

Deafness—New Discovery— The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful and, newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of sining noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons, Aurists and Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe, opposite the York Hotel. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills have successfully cured Ulcers, Wounds, and dreadfully Swollen Limbs.—Extract of a letter addressed to Messrs. Barnett, Brothers, wholesale agents for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, Surinam :—" Gentlemen, I beg to inform you that I considered my son lost to society in consequence of swollen limbs and ulcerous sores with which he was severely afflicted. I have sacrificed large sums of money to doctors, who have afterwards told me that it was a hopeles s case ; but at last I tried Hollo way's Pills, and the result has been so favourable that it has astonished all who had seen the deplorable 'state my son was in. —(Signed) Joseph Machielse."—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish meat, 244, Strand, London.

A Belgian soldier, while bathing three days ago in the fosses of Antwerp, perceived some dark substance floating in the water. He, v,:th the assistance of another person who happened to be near, pulled it to him ; and it turned out to be the body of a young woman. But on further examination, they perceived that it was firmly attached by a cord to the body of a young man. Both bodies were sent to the hospital, and there it was ascer tained that the young man was a coachman named Carolus, that the woman was named Cock, and thlt they were lovers who had committed suicide through poverty. —Galignani's Messenger.
