tions before the Committee were appointed. It was a standing order of the House that no party interested in a Bill should be appointed as a member of a Committee on that Bill. Now, here was Mr. W Stanley, who was deeply interested on the subject of this Bill— Why should he be appointed on the Committee ? He regarded this Bill as a public measure, and, therefore, he treated it as such ; and he thought that the rules of the House should not be set aside on this case. lie would therefore move that Mr. Stanley be slot appointed on the Committee. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said he had no wish what ever to be appointed ou the Committee. The motion for the appointment of Mr. Stanley was agreed to. Mr. WILLIAMS proposed that five Members should be chosen by the Committee of Selection and added to the Committee. He did not think that he was out of order in making such a motion. The motion was then agreed to. ABOLITION OF TRANSPORTATION. Mr. KELLY wished to know whether in abolishing transportation, periods of imprisonment, compulsory la bour, and exile, were to be substituted equivalent to the fixed sentence of transportation now passed; or whether it was to be left to the option of the Executive Government, according to the circumstances of the case? Sir G. GREY said that he had already stated the course to be taken in his observltions the other evening. THE CORN AND NAVIGATION LAWS. Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said—Sir, I beg to give .otice that I will to-morrow move fur leave to introduce sßill to extend the period of the suspension of the duties in the importation of foreign corn. I shall also move for leave to introduce a Bill to continue fur a limited period the suspension of the Navigation Laws. RAILWAY BILLS OF THIS SESSION. The CUANCELLt )R of the EXCHEQUER said as it was exceedingly desirable that no time should be lost is proceeding with the resolutions of the Committee with respect to these Bills, he begged to propose that the consid , ration of them should be proceeded with before she other ordsrs of the day on Wednesday next. The maximum and minimum of the imprisonment would much depend upon the goad conduct and industry of the convict. The Act of Deportation would take place at a liter PE'rino. but the plan subsequeirly adopted would be the same as that laid down by Lord Stanley. FF.IIRS OF rola udAL. Sir R. REEL wished to know when the papers with 1 , . i'u.!tigal would be presented to the House. It was ne,i-ssar) thw they should ti,": presented without de lay. as tti,! Hon. Get:tleman (Mr. Hume) had expressed his ualliitiligness to postpone his motion. Certainly it waa moat important that no time should be lost. Ly'fl J. RUSSELL said his Noble Friend time Secre tary t . 4 - ,.r Foreign Affairs had stated to him that the papers would be presented to-night, but tile printer could not have a sufficient number of - papers printed to supply Hon. - Meruh-rs before to-morrow. Lord BEN fiNCK wished to task a question of the Noble L - >rd oppoeite. It was welt known that when the fleets of different nations were engaged, it was the practice that the superior offiter should command. In the case of the French fleet taking part in the operations on the coast of Portugal, he wished to know whether the Prince Joiuvite, being Lord High Admirol of France, should command the combined fleets of France and England r.) Lord J. RUSSELL had not heard that the French fleet were likely to be engagiA, and, therefore, did not anticipate that the question with respect to the Prince de Joinville would require to be answered. Mr. ELLICE wished to know whether it was the in tention of the Cnairman of the Railway Board to bring on his Railway 811 l this night ? Mr. STRUTT was understood to say that it was not likely to be brought forward, in consequence of other business which had precedence. ELECTIONS IN IRELAND. Mr. LABOLJUHERE, in reply to a question, stated that the subject of polling at elections in Ireland had received the attention of Government. In counties in Ireland it would be extremely difficult to shorten the duration of the term for polling, a.; it was extremely difficult to appoint a sufficient number of polling places for that purpose. He regretted that it had not been in the power of her Majesty's Government to intro Luce some measure to the House on this subject, which would enable Hon. Members to consichr the subject, with a view to the whole reconstruction of the electoral system in Ireland. ' With regard to the boroughs in Ireland the case was different, and he did not despair of being able to introduce a Bill to shorten the duration of the polling, which he thought could be so framed as to meet the sanction of both sides of the House. 'TIME OF IMPRISOSMENT. Sir FITZROY KEI IX said he begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir George Grey) whether it was intended to specify the maximum and minimum period of imprisonment. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he had already statei.fo the House th a t th e su bj ect h a d b een ta k en i nto consideration. It was intended (as we understood the Hon. Gentleman, who was most indistinct), that the im prisonm-nt should hava reference to the term of tran sportation. EMIGRATION. The Earl if LINCOLN ruse for the purpose of making an explanation relative to what had been stated a few even.iqgi Igo, that he (Lord Lincoln) intended to bring krward the plan fur e.nigration which hld b , ?en pro post,' oy Mr. Gridly. It had been asserted that the deputation haq stat!7d to ;he Government that they had authority to say thlt he (Lord Lincoln) should brig? fel-wardMr. Godley's ectieme hef Iv the House. New, as that assertion was obviously intended to apply that he was to bring forwani his in eion in a hostile form, and thit he ititen led taking advantage of the Govern. ment as far as 1 ty in his power, he begged to give that assertion his mesa t roil is l tieitiel. lie had stated •-ey ieitly to Mr. G t.d y, and the other gentlemen who ever! +len hilt:, ti,t• form 1f m - 44in, and tne ele in ho intend, 11 to tiring that yeestioci forward. H e led never for an intent deviated from tire fordo, and if tirese epee lem ee were d eo : ie ....a. i 6 iy,is their own fault. He fiti7l told them each efei ail what he had intended to do. With reference to Mr. Godley he held a lettertrom him, in which be expres ,ed his regret that such state ments should have tone abroad. He regretted the matter the more that Mr. Godley, who anxiouelv desired to benefit his kind, who was sinceri ly desirous of serving his country, should have also been subjected to the petty filppancies of anonymous writers. Unfortunately his Noble Friend the Member for Dorsetshire was not present, but perhaps the Hon. Member for Kerry would sunstantiate th aecuracy of his statements. Mr. NIORGAN O'CONNELL said that as far as his recollection extended Mr. Godley had carried the in tentions of the Noble Lord into eff.ct. The fact was, that two subjects were started when the deputation went to the Treasury. Two subjects were leid before the Government, one was Mr. Godley's scheme, and the other was the Government's consent to such an inquiry as the Noble Led proposed the other night. The Go vernment did not consent to this inviry, and Mr. ' Godley said he was authorised by the Noble Lord oppo site, to say, that he would bring the matter before the House. He (Mr. M. J. O'Connell) understood by that that he should forward the general subject of colonisa tion, and not the Wan of Mr. Godley. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that the Hon. Member !or Kerry had stated that which was in perfect confir mation of his owa recollection of the subject. Two subjects were mentionel One was Mr. Godleys' plan, and the other was the question of appointing a Com mittee to invire into the subject of colonization. It did not appear to him that the subject of Mr. Godley's plan was brought especially before the notice of th e Government. When informed that the Government did not intend to support the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry, he understood Mr. Godley to say, that the subject would be brought forward before the House. He (Lord John Russell) was left in doubt whether it was the appointment of a Committee or the general subject of colonization, that would be brought forward ; but he never for a moment thought that it was intended that Mr. Godley's plan was to be the matter brought before the House. CASE OF SIR E. WILMOT. Mr. SPOONER, rose to bring the case of the late Governor of Van Diemen's Land before the House. The Hon. Member, who was very indistinctly heard throughout, prayed that the House would grant him its indulgence while he proceeded to lay before them the facts connected with the dismimial of the late Bir Eardley Wilmor.'nhich had excited so deep a sensa tion both in that House and out of doors. That lamented individual was now beyond the power of persecution ; but it was due to his memory to clear it from the charges which had been made against him. These charges bad never been stated in plain terms ; even the dispatch of Mr. Gladitont:.. stated that they were defined with the words " living in a state of coneubinege with convict women ;" and to his dying day the subject of them was la') more than this : What were the char g es, or who Were the persons behind his back, who advanced what he 01r. Spooner) had no h esitation i sa • ' , were mere eharg,,, _.•.n n ifrfl., alike unfounded and nnjuit? What were the facts,an.* hnw did they originate ? Three gentlemen came to this country from the eebny, and had certain communications with the Colonial olth;e. Two of these gentlemen laid no restr a ieti.7,nupon the use of their names, j ip b b a o t n o : a n one o notf th.reefneirdibay;,:r.ot, therarou , , he (Mr. Spm,ner) thento either of til..ni. Having made the charges, the Se cretary of State (Mr, Gladstone) sent off a dispatch —a —to Sir E rile) , Wilmot, with w hi c h, a s i t dis Pate h my j ct of tie charges, he oir a . llu s led not to the (a an pooner) had r ottiiug to do.

But he did what Sir George Arthur had done under similar circumstances ; he called his Council together, and said—Here are certain charge.; preferred against me by the Government at home ; if I lull guilty, say so ; if I am not guilty, then represent to the English Government that they were unfounded. During the time that this subject was under discussion a paragraph appeared in the Naval and if iligarg Gazelle, recap: tulating the charges. To that paragraph the Lord Chief Justice of the colony replied in a letter to the editor, giving the statement his unqualified contradiction. The Hon. Member then read the letter of the Chief Justice, to the effect that there was no truth in the latter part of the charge, which stated, that no persons of character or respectability went to the Government house except on business. The reply of Sir E. Wilmot en the sth of October, 1846, denied the imputations con- . TIIE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 184/. tamed in the letter of the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Glad stone, and requested to be informed of the names, the dates, and the specific charges which were made against him. He also said that he would lay the letter of the Colonial Secretary, of the 30th of April, before the Executive Council, that the whole matter might undergo full investigation. That letter was written by Sir E. Wilmot, to the Colonial-office, and it was worthy of him, as being an honest man, guiltless of the charges made against him. -- (Hear, hear.) Having left the charges before the Council, a Committee was appointed to investigate their, and the result was that they acquitted his Excellency of the charges. They also stated that the Bishop of Tasmania and the Right Rev. Dr. Wilson, a Catholic Bishop of the colony, would be shortly in London, end would bear testimony to the good conduct of his Excellency. They certified, in the most explicit terms, that as far as they could ascertain, no thing had transpired to justify the charges which had been made. There was also a document, signed by all the officials and principal people of the colony, to Sir E. Wilmot, on his resigning the government of the colony, that he carried with him into private life their best wishes. Mr. Gladstone's reply was that he was not dismissed in corsequence of any specific . charge, but of the general notoriety in the colony of the badness of his character. Now these charges he (Mr. Spooner) had shown had been denied by every gentleman and every Christian in the colony, and that all the statements were false in every respect. (The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter to the eldest son of Sir Eardley Wilmot from Mr. Gladstone, which stated that there was more than a full acquittal of the charges brought against him in the memorial signed by the inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land.) With these testimonials, he was sure that the House would join in the acquittal they already pronounced. But he did not rest his case only there ; he had a letter from a person whose name would be well received in that House—the Bishop of Tasmania—(Hear, bear) —which spoke most highly and favourably of Sir Eardley Wilmot. and designated the rumours respecting him as false and slanderous. The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter from the Catholic bishop of the colony (Dr. Wilson) which also gave from personal knowledge the most unqualified contradiction to the unfounded slander against the moral character of Sir Eardley Wilmot. The family had a right to complain of the conduct of the Noble Lord at the head of the Colonial-office, who had refused to give the accused the opportunity of defending himself. Such conduct was not to be expected from him who had ever set himself up to be the jealous defender of pubic liberty.—(Hear, hear.) To say the least of it, his answer to heartrending appeals was celtl. unfeeling. and hardly to be expected, Lord BROOKE, after the clear statement of his Hon. Friend, felt that little remained !br him to do than concur in what he had dare. Ho regretted and deprecated the anonymous charges which had been made against Sir Eardley Wilmot. But documents had been laid before the House, on the ground of which he did boldly expect an entire acquittal of that gentleman scharacter troai the stain which had ben thrown upon it. Sir R. PEEL said he rose to express his opinion then upon the subject, hecatne he had stood in the same relation to Sir Eattlley Wilmot as the lion. Gen tleman who had spoken before him. He had been one of his constituents ; he knew the manner in which he had discharged his duty ; and he was influenced by the same f , elings as the Honourable Gentleman who had already spoken. He welt knew the circum stances under which his Right Honourable Friend the Secretary for the Colonies had made that appointment which placed Sir Eardley Wilmot in office as Governor of Van Diemen's Land. The re sponsibility of an appointment, such as that, was great, for a colony so distant. His H .n. Friend did Lot wish to appoint a military gentleman to an office where he should be called to exercise the duties of a civil func tionary. But the sole reason for appointing Sir Eardley Wilmot to the governorship of that colony, was his ex perience in the administration of the law as a magistrate for a long period at quarter sessions. Having him ap pointed to that office by the universal voice, having filled that office with entire approbation, and having as a Member of this House directed his attention to the amendment of the Criminal Law, it was thought that it was not possible to find a better or superior individual to fill that appointment. But he (Sir R. Peel stood in an other relation to Sir Eardley Wilmot. He had been connected with the Government in which his Hon. Friend Mr. Gladstone held office, and he would now speak of the feelings of Mr. Gladstone in reference to these charges. As for the grounds on which he thought proper to remove Sir Eardley Wilmot from the appoint ment which he held, his Hon. Friend who first spoke on the subject had exercised a wise discretion in declining to enter upon them at all. Those were points which could not with much rood effect, and with very little propriety, be canvassed in that House. He must say, however, that Mr. Gladstone, in writing to Sir Eardley Wilmot, had not advised his withdrawal on account of any neglect of the duties of his office, but the peculiar position of the colony, and the general tenor of his dispatches indicated the propriety of the appointment of his successor. It was admitted then, that no neglect of his own had led to his removal from office. He (Sir R Peel) spoke now of the public character of Sir E. Wilmot. But his Friend Mr. Gladstone was placed in a most peculiar position by the private information which was conveyed to him. There were three persons—persons in the colony, and living independently of the Govenment, voluntarily con firmed the rumour which had re.iched his ears, and which had been spread in New South Wales. These par ties, all of unimpeachable character, informed his friend that the character of Sir Eardley Wilmot was such as to unfit him for the discharge of his pubic duties. That rumour, and that confirmation, had not influenced Mr. Gradstone in what he had dude, fur the removal of Sir E. Wilmot was an act done independently of such a report, or such thanes. At the same time his friend did not think it weuld be consistent to re-appoint him to another colony till such charges upon his character had been totally cleared off. What was Mr. Gladstone to do? It was right that Sir Eardley Wilmot should know the charges winch had been made against him. Mr. Glad stone. therefore, in a private dispatch, made the commu nication to him. 1 . 1- ith a view to that, as one of the pintos giving the information was within the colony, he was applied to for liberty to use his name, in connexion with the charge ; but that was refused . — (Hear, hear.) And his lion. Friend had stated that the trieuds of Sir E. Wilmot had received the admission from the other two that the charges were false. On the pert then cf his Hon. Friend. he had to state to the House his entire con viction tbat that information was totelly and entirely wrong, and that Sir Eardley Wilmot was entitled at his hands, to the full admission, that the charges aff. cting his private character were without foundation. That admission, and such a statement, as it was but justice to the character of the deceased, must also be highly satis factory to his friends. He (Sir R. Peel) only added, that having heard the documents and statements brought before the House by his friend the Member for B.rming ham, documents that had been drown up by sir Eardley Wilmot, looking at the nature of the charges, and the character of those who made them, he also expressed his own opinion that those charges must be considered en tirely and totally without foundaton. He f.-lt that this was but an act of justice to the character of the late Sir B. Wilmot, and to the widow and the family whom he had left behind him. (The Right lion. Baronet resumed his seat amid applause.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not feel it necessary to add anything to what had been said by the hon. Gentle man the Member for Tamworth, more than that it must be a source of satisfaction to the family ot Sir E. Wilmot that that Hon. Gentleman and Mr. Gladstone had both expressed their strong conviction that the imputations made upon his character were without foundation. He would not have risen but for the seeming imputation which was thrown by an Hon. Member upon the character of the Noble Lord in the Colonial office. Lord Grey had merely heard that there was an accusa tion against the character of Sir E. Wilmot—he had no means of knowing whether it was founded in truth ; he did not know the names of the parties who made the charge, and what was more, he did not have the evi dence on which these individuals founded their charge. He had, therefore, no means of arriring at any judg ment upon the subject ; but surely, because the Noble Earl had said in his letter that he could not recommend to her Majesty, the rew appointment of Sir E. Wilmot was not to be charged with having adopted the charges upon his character. There were reasons altogether irrespective of these for suet a course in a Member of the Government As for the conduct of Mr. Gladstone, as to the propriety of the course which he had taken, he would not then deliver any opinion. But he only hoped that the Hon. Member (Mr. Spooner), and the friends of Sir E. Wilmot, would remember what ever opinions might be held by the present Government or the public in general as to his administration, that all these charges upon his private character hid been swept to the winds, and that his son might rest satisfied that hts lived under no dishoaeurable imputation. Mr. VERNON SMITH said that in the speech of the Hon. Gentleman, he only regretted that some symptom of party character seemed to pervade it. and although it bieetnsel to h•tve the wish to do jostled, yet a spirit of party pervaded all his observedons. He tnought that, oi all the duties which were imposed upon Secret. ries of State, the meat sacred was that of protecting the cha ra rs of those who were absent in foreign countries on the eervice o their King and ceuntn , and that no or permitted to tie made. against t -, h , ;u l : l ;'oe me le, them, tinlses ttpoti tie trickt poedee an 1 cant wive proo: .4 their deliequency.

He was here to edinit that Me Gladstone, as tar as the privete 1.:-rings ot Sir Eardley Wilmot were concerned, had done all in his power to allay the sore which his previous conduct had created ; but he thought that the previous charge which had , :cen made, had been made harshly, and upon very uncertain evi dence. 4 Mr. NEWDFGA.TE said that he had not intended to have said a wor,l on this subject,. but tae 13,:glit lion.

Wilmot remained in that Au& With . regard to th e conduct of Mr. Glad..3:4ne, the v.ecus,:tousrnade against Sir E. Wilmot were m ade b y three indi viduals upon such strong authority, that no Secretary of State would have been justified in overlooking them. Two of these genth men were at present in Van Diemen's Land, and the third had shrunk from allowing his name to come forward as one of his accusers.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone had done all in his power to soften the harsh ness of Sir E. Wilmot's recal as tar as it could be done, and in all proceedings towards him Mr. Gladstone had adopted the very kindest course. He put before Sir Eardley Wilmot the accusations :made against him, and gave him every assistance in his power to enable him to clear himself. These charges had since been entirely disproved, and he was glad to be able to say that the character of Sir E. Wilmot, both public and private, bad been freed from any taint or suspicion. The only fault of Mr. Gladstone was by sending that private letter which warned Sir E. Wilmot of the position in which he stood. Mr. HAWES said that he had hardly thought that it would be necessary for him to rise upon that occasion. With regard to what his Hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham had stated, it was not altogether accurate: His Noble Friend near him was not cognisant of what was alleged against Sir Eardley Wilmot except through a dispatch from that gentleman him-elf. lie agreed with his Noble Friend that no record of accusation ex isted in the Colonial-office against Sir E. Wilmot. He did not wish to cast any reproach upon Mr. Gladstone. Atter a few words from Sir C. DOUGLAS, Mr. CURTEIS said that he did not envy the feelings of those three gentlemen who originated the calumny against Sir E. Wilmot. It' they had not caused that gentleman's death, they at least embittered his dying moments, and he must describe them as foul calumnia tors. He objected to the conclusion of the address of the Hon. Member for Birmingham. He merely rose to show the three gentlemen to whom he alluded that a strong feeling existed as to their conduct, and from the expression of that feeling he had not shrunk.—(Hear.) Mr. BORTHWICK said the lion. Member for Tam worth had asserted that the grounds upon which Sir E. Wilmot had been recalled were not public; but no doubt his recal was produced by some circumstances stated in the secret dispatches. Whether communications to which allusions had been made were, or were not, anonymous, they were sufficient to induce Mr. Glad stone to act upon them, and to inflict upon an innocent man a deep injury. The Governor was sacrificed in this case, and the calumniators were protected. It was quite clear that the present Colonial Secretary had nothing to do with the matter, however it might be sought by the predecessors of the present Ministry to attach to them the odium of an act of which they alone were culpable. Mr. HORSMAN said that he rose merely to ask whether the Hon, Member for Birmingham had fur nished the name of the Gentleman in question to the Colonial-office, and whether it was intended to take any steps respecting this. which was called a soul conspiracy. As regarded the other part of the transaction connected with Mr. Gladstone, of which they had heard so much that evening, he must say, particularly anxious as he was to avoid any personal allusion, that he felt it impos sible to refrain from saying that he (Mr. Gladstone), though he had acted candidly in forwarding the secret letter to Sir .Eardley Wilmot, still that his conduct was extremely rash and extremely indefensible. It had been admitted that he had acted indiscreetly. In con clusion, he must say that public duty called upon- them to express their opinion strongly when a public man had been grievously treated. Mr. SPOONER, said he did not know the name of the gentleman alluded to. Mr. HORSMAN said he held a high official situation. Mr. SPOONER said he did not know the person al luded to. Captain GLADSTONE said that the Hon. Gentle man who had just sat down, had expressed his regret gret that the late Secretary for the Colonies had not at tne bottom of his letter to Sir E. Wilmot, senior, ex pressed his sorrow, and avowed his indiscretion, in the course lie had pursued. ile could assure the House that his Right Hon. relative had been only actuated by a sense of kindness in his conduct to Sir E. Wilmot. He deeply regretted that the charges had been made, but his defence rested on these charges, for he could not have acted otherwise in his position, than to have asked the recal of the Governor of Van Diemen's Land. If they knew the names of the parties who had made the accusation, they would feel the difficulty in which his Right Hon. relative was placed. Mr. ROEBUCK seid that he did not know why they should not have the names of these gentlemen, who heel informed " my Right Hon. relative" of these untruths which had led to the disgrace and recal of an honest man. He had his own thoughts of what con- tituted official reserve when he,found that the charges of knaves wete received to the ruin of honest men. The accusa tion must have been a grave one, which would lead to the recal of a Governor of one of their Colonies, and why were they not supplied with the names of the par ties making these accusation, without making any enquiry into the truth of these charges this gentleman was dismissed.—(No, no.)—No, no why lie was punished ; he was dismissed.—(No, no.) Then, if he was not dis missed on account of this accusation, for what reason was he dismissed ? Why, they had the reasons of die. Missal given in the private letter of the Secretary him self. He stated that the reason for his recal was im moral conduct ; he stated that he could not recommend him to any other appointment, because of his immoral conduct ; he stated that he was incapable of governing the colony, because of his immoral conduct. But what was the specific accusation, and the date of it ? Let the House learn that, if it was intended to satisfy it, But it was also the case that ignorance, audacity, anti mischief had always characterit - ed their government of the colonies. He hoped that the time would soon arrive when they should n - a be burdened with an irresponsible Colonial Administration. Mr. HOPE said he should not follow the Hon. and Learned Gentleman through the whole of the charges which be made against the Colonial Administration. The grounds on which Sir Eardley Wilmot was recalled, were of a public kind, and had no reference to his private character. Earl Grey had expressed his satisfaction at that recal; he had admitted that the grounds on which Sir Eardley Wilmot was recalled, was sufficient, without any reference to his private character. He (Mr. Hope) could, if the House required it, show what were these public grounds, and he was sure that they would be deemed amply sufficient to justify that removal. Mr. B. ESCOTT said that he distinctly charged the late Secretary for the Colonies with having dismissed Sir Eardley Wilmot on the faith of these anonymous calumnies. The Hon. Member refused to give the dates of these charges, but they were contained in the dispatch itself. That dispatch was dated the 30th April, 1846, which was the d.ete of the very private letter which re called Sir Eardley Wilmot on the ground of hie immoral conduct. Well, he had said he would not take up the time of the House with the personal part of this subject, and he would keep his word. Now, with regard to the general question, he could not help thinking that the present Government had passed over the claims of Sir Eardley Wilmot in a very cavalier manner, and the question for that House to decide was this, were the colonies always to be governed upon :dr. Gladstone's principles. A defence of Mr. Gladstone had been at tempted by those who were associated with him in office, but he ventured to doubt its honesty, or why were not the names, upon which this unfounded charge wes made, not disclosed ?—(Hear, hear.) This case was very similar to one he had formerly brought before the House, when a public officer was dismissed from office upon insufficient grounds, and he really thought it too much to be called upon to rest satisfied with the declara tion that Mr. Gladstone had discovered his error, and repented what he had done. The House ought to have some guarantee in future that more caution would be used by her Majesty's Government in cases of this sort. Sir WALTER JAMES really must protest against the language used by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had just sat down, while speaking of his Right Hon. Friend the late Secretary for the Colonies. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman pronounced his defence to be dishonest, but he fur one did not think so. He felt convinced that his Right Honourable Friend dismissed Sir Eardley Wilmott, upon public grounds, and not upon the faith of charges against that Gentleman's personal character. Mr. W. MILES would not allow the sincere friend ship he entertained for the late Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for the Colonies, to interfere with his arriving at an impartial conclusion upon this painful topic ; but he could not bring himself to the belief that his Right lion. Friend entertained the feelings attributed to him by the Hon. Gentleman opposite. He felt confident that his Right Hon. Friend wrote the letter to which so much allusion had been made, with the view of giving Sir E. Wilmot an opportunity of clearing his character, while he was no less certain that Sir E. Wilmot's dis missal was founded upon public grounds and public grounds alone. His Right Hon. Friend felt that Sir E. Wilmot was not competent to perform the functions of governor of £0 important a colony as South Australia. and it was through that conviction the dismissal was agreed upon.—(Hear.) It was no great charge to make against a man that he could not govern a colony, when some of the most experienced Members of that House found the task to be a very diffieult mat ter. So far as that charge was concerned, therefore, it went for nothing, and he attached no importance to it. It did not lessen Sir E. Wilmot in his estimation, nor would it have lessened him in the estimation of his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for the Colonies, for he knew that had he remained in office be would h ave ems ployed Sir E. Wilmot in another capacity the moment that Sir Eardley had cleared his character from the im putation that had been cast upon it. So far as the let ter was concerned, he thou g_ the triele:s of Sir Eardley Wilmot were iedebted to Right Hon. Friend for bringing about these explanations, because they would teach future colonial Governments that they could not ba too cautious in entertaining charges against honour able individuals entrusted with the government of dis tant colonies. Sir R. H. INGLIS thought it a matter of regret that the tone of the debate for the last hour hail been so widely different from that at its comtnencemeat. The debate began with a speech mote of sorrow than anger by the Hon. Member for Birmingham, and his defence of the injured Sir Eardley Wilmot was considered by all parsons present as complete and triumphant. Not a single angry word was heard in the debate until within the last hour, and he hoped that the subject would now he brought to a conclusion similar to thr..t, of ifs com rceneernent, so as to *Ward opportunity for the House to proceed with the other business before it. The subject then. droppt , d, REGISTERV:G BIRTHS AND MARRIAGES (S',:OTLA ND) BILL. The order of the day was then 'read for going into Committee on these Bills. Several petitions were presented against these The LORD-ADVOCATE said that he was happy that, he did not stand in the way of the motion of the [lon. Mcrnber for Birmingham; seeing the very able manner in which he gad P,rforaied the duty wiiich de volve.; upon him. He w:ett:d new eedeevour shortly to L: ll % o tl f o'' births pi a r Tna 3tPh a t r et r i marri ag es. I.3 rf ' t will' r i sh could il :r.' d u i bi c (e l the Go- Oat the Nkiect anticipated by the sills waseogdisoturbat • a v ery lal• portant one, fur the purpose of affording accurate statis tical and other important information. For the considera tion. of the course proposed to be followed in carrying out the Bill, the Government had to bear in mind that a system of registration had existed for ten years in England. After mature consideration it was decided that a plan similar to that proposed in England should be adopted in that country, and it was therefore proposed that a central registration office should be established at Edinburgh, with numerous other districts or divisions. The existing town clerks of the larger towns of that country could afford the opportunity of immediately carrying out the provisions of the Bill at considerably less expense than in this country. With respect to the ex • penses of carrying out the Bill, it was not proposed that any advances should be made from the Treasury to meet the expenses of carrying Qut the measure, but that local taxation should be made to support the whole of the system. He thought that if he attempted to raise the expense of this registration from the personal or real property of Scotland. such a rate would not be favourably received. It then became a question with him, what course, under these circumetances, he should adopt, and alter a care ful consideration of the subject, he could see nothing more expedient, more cheap, more convenient, or more just than a parochial rate, as proposed in this Bill. Ile knew there were st ron g obj• cti ins to this mode of rating, but of the various proposals that were made to defray the expenses of the registration, it appeared to him to be the most eligible. He had asked those who objected to this mode of assessment, what other course they would propose, . but none of them were able to give him a sattgae!ory solution to that question. There were 786 session clerks, 423 inspectors of the poor, and many of them hel d various o ffices , such as clerks also other offices of various kinds ; and he found that a sch oolmaster, who had be en o ne o f t h e the heritors, of s session, s i andon , collectors of the poor-rates, clerks to great leaders of the movement against these Bills, was a session clerk, an inspector of the poor, a collector of the poo t arates, clerk to the h eri t or s , and held , besides, sevemi odtidher the offl dutyes— Cres of hear ")—in fact, hee ( of e "Hear, ether le offices. They were told that registers were kept in Scotland ; so there were in England before the Registration Act ; but as the best results had followed from this Act, in England. and as great evils prevailed in Scotland from the inefficient system in use, he thought it ought no longer to exist, and that the Bill ,before the House ought to be pared to remedy- it. In fact the system pursued in Scotland was utterly useless. Intimately connected with registration was the subject of marriage. Both the common and statute law of Scotland required nothing more to render a marriage valid than the con sent of the parties, of the age of maturity—no consent of their guardians was necessary, nor was the intervention of any minister of religion necessary to perform the ceremony. Perhaps he 'Light be met with this argu ment—that it was a salutary principle to make marriage depend upon the deliberate consent of the parties ; but, nevertheless, it was pregnant of evil, as there was no standard—there were no fixed rules or criterion of what was a valid or invalid marriage, and such contracts might be proved either by writing or merely by parole evidence. If a man and woman pro msised to marry each other, and counexion followed, the law said that such a contract was insuperable from a mass of inconsistent facts the law might infer marriage. He had known cases proved from letters which had been exchanged between the rattles, but the marriage of which were so obscure that the judges trembled at the decision which they were obligt d to give. Under such a state of things could it be wondered at that most lament table cases were repeatedly brought before the courts of justice. There was a case which had given rise to one of the most distinguished judgment; ever delivered from the Bench. A gentlemen of birth, who afterwards became the inheritor of a very high title in Scotland, and very rich estates, contracted a marriage of this kind with a lady in 1802 or 1803 ; but the marriage between them imply consisted in letters which had passed between them. They never lived together Ike married people. In 1808 the gentleman came to England. Being a man of no honour in this respect, and thinking, perhaps, that evidence of his former marriage had been destroyed, he contracted a marriage ith a lady who was connected with one of the very highest families in England. There was no issue ; but soon after their marriage, a suit was commenced against the husband by his former wife, and the decision of the Court annulled the second marriage, and the lady thus divorced was doomed to much degra- Aation in consequence. But let them suppose a case in ehich a title or extensive property was involved, and 'hey would perceive how great the evil was which he ;ought to remedy. There was not a country in the :ivilised world in which the law of marriage was so un justifiable as in Scotland. The banns of marriage were published generally in an inaudible voice, and at a time that the congregation were either in the act of assemb ling or dispersing, not as they were in England at the most solemn part of the service, when every body was attentive. By the statute law the witnesses could nut be prosecuted unless a clergyman in orders celebrated the marriage, and consequently the people resorted to persons who wrrej not authorised. New he proposed that no marriage should legally take place, unless cele brated by the recogresed minister of religion ; and he would say, that unless the parties chose to resort to the clergyman they should go to the public register, where competent persons should witness and legalize the act. —(Hear, hear.) Now it had been objected to him, that he proposed to make marriages valid for a time, and then not so. He did not propose anything so absurd. But in cyder to prevent such mar riages as those of Gretna-green, which were most objec tionable, he had proposed that the register c .uld nut certify unless one of the parties was resident within the district for a certain period of time. His object in ris ing was to move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee for the consideration of the subject this day three months. In the mean time, he would' give every possible consideration to every fair and legitimate allegation:which could be urged against him, he certainly: would not lend an attentive ear to any clamour which might be ignorantly urged. Mr. FORBES said that he would continue to object to the Bill, and he was content to remain in the class designated by the N. Lord as " unreasoning." The people of Scotland objected to the Bill on account of the stigma it would impose upon local schoolmeeters, who would be prevented by this Bill from exercising their functions. The people of Scotland objected to this Bill also because it would in effect prevent the poor man from being mantled according to the rites of the national Church. He thought the clause which com peted the parties present at the death of an individual, whether relatives , medical attendants, or any other per sons to give information of the event to the r, gister was objectionable. These were some of the grounds on which t h e people of Scotland petitioned against the Bill. The motion was then agreed to. PRISONS' BILL. The adjourned debate on this Bill was postponed till Thursday. PRISONERS REMOVAL (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bid, and the clauses were agreed to without discussion. On the motion for the poAponement of the MIDLAND AND GREAT WES FERN OF IRE LAND RAILWAY .BILL, T ord GEORtiE BENTINCK said that when this Bill came b-fore the House, it was hi. intention to ca!l the attention of the House to.ab the details of the Bill. After a few words: from Mr. HUDSON, Lord .JOHN RUSSELL said that it was his intention to bring on the Bill. STAGE CARRIAGES DUTIES BILL. Mr. GREENE brought up the report on this Bill. On the motion for the adjournment of the House, Colonel SIB I'IIORI' begged to call the attention of the Howie to the accidents that had occurred on the London and North Weatern Railway. No less than seventeen lives had been lost on railways during the last fortnight, and he thought Governor , nt ought to adopt some measure to prev..nt such loss of life. Mr. HUDSON said that no person c ,, uld regret these accidents more than he did, and he would not object to an inquiry bring instituted to investigate the subject. Calainities of a similar character had occurred by other means of conveyance than railways, which it would be as well equally to investigate. Nothing was more distressing to the directors of railway companies than thl.so accidents, and he was sure, if the astute mind of the Hon. and Gallant Colonel could sug !zest any means by which they could be prevented, they would be only too tr , ppy to adopt them. The House then adjourned at Half past Twelve o'clock. RACES TO COME. The following' is the list the season of 1847: of fixtures already made for Hampton Tenbury Sutton Park l5 Bibury Club l6 'NE.

This Bill was withdrawn this morning, the promoters having declined to proceed for this session. TAW VALE RAILWAY AND DOCK. A considerable time was spent in discussing whether the Committee should proceed with this Bill, and it was even tually agreed ill:A it be referred to the Committee in Room No. 6, where the Bristol and Exeter Railway Bill was under consideration, as it was considered to have a relation to the lines in that group. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow, having arranged to proceed then with the South Devon (Extension and Amendment) Bill. GROUP X. HAVAGPICII AND EASTERN COUNTIES UNION. The Committee met this morning—Lord Clive in the chair— when Mr. Pilbreck was called to show the inconvenience of the number of crossings at a level. It should be observed that the two opposing lines are the Eastern Union, from Manningtree to Harwich, ;And the Eastern Counties Junction, from Ardleigh to Harwich ; the latter laid out, tor a single line, at an outlay of 200,000/. ; and the former, ,by Mr. Braithwaite, for a double line, at a cost of 180.0001. The Eastern Union line crosses no public roads on a level, while the Eastern Counties line crosses sixteen. Mr. Bryan, a land surveyor and valuer, who has had con siderable experience in his profession, stated that he valued the land, severance, and all consequential damage, at 40,1201. for the Eastern Counties line, on which there would be little residential property interfered with. His estimate for the land for the Eastern Union line was 31,4001., includ ing, he believed, every expense. Mr. Bruff; the engineer, stated that the line was of a very ordinary character. The cost would be 200,0004 but 30,0001. of that amount was to be spent in the construction of a pier and docks at Harwich, for which proposals had been sub mitted to the Admiralty, under whose superintendence they were to be made. GROUP XVIII. GLOUCESTER AND STONEHOUSE =NC. TIOAT. The Committeee met this morning at twelve o'clock; the Earl of Lincoln in the chair; and shortly afterwards the room was cleared.

The House sat to•day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Dunnallv. RANGEL V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. S. TURNER resumed his arguments to-day in this appeal, following Sir Fitzroy Kelly on behalf of the appel lants. The case, as we have already stated, came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Lord Chancellor, overruling a decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England allowing a demurrer put in by the Great Western Railway Company to the bill of the pla►ntiff. The arguments in the appeal will doubtless occupy their Lordships for several days to come. BOLLS' COURT, June 7. mos v. citoss. This cause came on upon further direction. The question had reference to the will of Thomas Cross, and the bill was Wed by his infant daughter, Adelina Cross. The testator. by his will, left an annuity of 804 to a woman named Hannah Bush, with whom he had' cohabited, by whom he had three children living, to each of whom he left legacies, but these, as well as other bequests, were declared to be null and void in the event of his having issue by his wife. These tacts had been found by the Master's report. The case came on on Saturday, and the arguments were resumed and concluded to-day, but some points were re served for further discussion on ednesday. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, June 7. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENG LAND.) TILE EXETER AND CREDITON RAILWAY COMPANY V. BULLER. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with a motion in this case for dissolving an injunction granted ex parte, restraining the Exeter and Crekliton Railway Company from constructing their line on the broad gauge. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 7. (Sittings in Banco.) CONSPIRACY.-THE QUEEN V. SELSBY AND OTHERS. This was a proceeding aainst the defendant and persons of the names of Quarrey, Cheesernan (who is since dead), Bowman, Firth, llawscn, Wilson, and others, for conspiring to intimidate, by threats and other means, persons employed in the manufactory of Messrs. Jones and Potts, engineers, of Liverpool, from pursuing their lawful avocation. It appeared that the defendants, who were employed by Messrs. Jones, were dissatisfied because they employed inexperienced hands to perform the work of journeymen at reduced rates. Several of the journeymen struck in consequence, and the defendants were appointed a picquet to prevent the contented workmen from pursuing their labour. The case was tried before Mr. Baron Rolfe, at Liverpool. The indictment on which they were arraigned contained upwards of twenty counts, and the jury found them guilty on the whole of them. The defe ndants now appeared on the floor of the Court, and The ArronNEY-GENE'Rei. prayed judgment upon them. Mr. KNOWLES,. who appeared fur Selsby and Quarrey, moved fin. an arrest of judgment and a new trial, on the_ ve n ground that the verdict was against eviden ce, a s it was on the whole of the counts, which we re iuconsisten , the g one with the other. Mr. BAINES and Mr. WATSON made similar motions on behalf of the other defendants. Lord DismAx deterred the decision uttunit of the Court until the Learned Judges had had an oppy of consulting Mr. Baron Rolfe. CORONER OF THE BOROUGH OF WIGAN.-THE QUEEN. V. GRI3I3IIAW. The followi2g was the judgment of the court in this case, a summary of which appeared in oar impression of Saturday : Lard DENMAN said the election of Mr. Grimshaw was bad. Under any circumstances the council had no right to elect him at an adjourned meeting without notice. It had been objected that the election took place before the actual issue of the letters patent, and that Mr. Rogerson was not appointed under seal, but if anything was wrong at the time of the election, everything was afterwards done that he could do to make it valid. The town-council were officially informed of the grant of the permission to hold quarter ses sions. They then met and made the appointment, showing clearly that they did it bona-tide; and from that time, up to 1842, more than six years, Mr. Rogerson performed his duties and received the fees. Nothing was more dangerous than to call this a void act. Ills Pppuintment was recognised, and was valid. The judgment upon the first and fourth issues must be for the Crown. Mr.. Justice PATI'ESON concurred with Lord Denman. Mr. Rogerson was eismed and sworn in, and exercised his office within ten day s aft er th e arrival o f the letters patent, which was a char recogritlon, and amounted to an appoint ment in law. Mr. Watson had argued that the office was never filled, and that the election was informal, because it was too early; there might have been some irregularity, but it was cured, and therefore it was rather too much for those persons to t , rn round now and repudiate their own acts, and say that the office was vacant ; but there could be no doubt that when once a person was elected end exercised the duties of his office, that he was duly elected, and that he was en- titled to hold .the 4 , ffice for life, uoless he was guilty of im proper conduct. Mr. Grimshuw could not have been pro perly elected at the adjourned meeting if the office had been vacant. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was clearly of opinion that. Roger son was duly elected. For years he remained in office. and it appeared quite shocking to turn round and say that after all this the office was void. He was of opinion that a coroner was not a corporate officer. Only think of the consequences of the doctrine set up. If a man could be removed at the end of six years, he could be removed after 20, so that a coroner who 'had performed a long course of duty, who had received inoney as fees, who had held inquests, recorded verdicts— some of them, perhap. , , for wilfui murder—and discharged other important functions affecting the pub:ic at large, as well as himself; might be got rid of to gratify some caprice or party-feeling. The parties -vho appointed him recog nised him, and enabled him to do all, now turned round awl called him a usurper. His mind shrank from contem plating the consequences which must necessarily flow from such a course of things. The Quarterly meetings were well . known to be open days, but :; oy the expedient of an ad journment they could bring on whatever the parties pleased, without notice, the object of the Legislature would be utterly defeated. Mr. Justice EMI (whe, whilst at the bar, was counsel for the other side )simply concurred in the judgment of the Court, that Mr. Rogerson was duly elected. The case has been hi litigation since 1842, and great ex pense has been ertailed upon the parties. BAH, COURT, June 7. (Before Mr. Justice W IGILTHAN. ) BEAGLE V. STANDISH. Mr. TEMPLE applied, on behalf of the Sheriff of Middlesex, for an attachment upon some goods in the possession of a person named William Withers. A distress was put in oh the 29th of April, but a person named Emanuel Nathan, who was living with the defendant as her husband, claimed a portiou of the goods, and a distress two or three days after was put in in his name, for 421. for rent, and the gooils were seized by William Withers on his behalf, and they were re moved by Wither, notwithstanding the plaintiff intimated that he should dispute his claim to the goods, and he took out a summons under the Interpleader Act, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, by which the goods were ordered to be sold, and the proceeds brought into Court, but Withers refused to give the goods up. The sheriff was threatened with an action toit the goods or their value. He apprehended, that the act of Withers resolved itself into contempt of Court, and that therefore rin attachment should issue. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAW said the sheriff should have tikeii care of the goods, and kept them in his possession. Rile were to accede to the .ipt,heation, a similar one might be made whenever a shiliff was in possession. It was the duty of the •heriff to kee l , possession 4 goods on whi th he had dis rain, d. Was there any au hority for a sheriff seeking an r.taclnnent because he was unable to keep goods on which he had seized? _ .................. Mr. TEMPLZ had looked for a precedent, but confessed .hit lie trot been iniatile to find one. Mr. Justice WumiTmAN said, then, having no authority to cite in suppwt of his application, he could not accede to it. It was, as he had said, the duty of the sheriff to keep possession of the ;.,00ds. Mr. TEMPLE then s , tight a rule nisi, calling upon ithers ;a ,how cause ivliy the goeals should not be given up.

The prisoner, Wm. J ,hnson, replied that he did not, but if he (the man) would bring it to his place, he would see what could be done. The null accordingly took the horse and gig to the prisoners' yard, and atter some haggling," gave the man 17/. for it, which they considered as much as it was worth. They bad bought it fairly and honestly, and had no idea of its being stoles. In reply to Mr. BINGHAM, Mr. Wood said that he should not proceed any further, if he had the horse and gig returned to him. not offer any objection to tha t, but he considered Mr. Clarkson, who attended f or the prisonerg, held har a i h t o th u a i his clients should lose 17/. by the deal..

The past week's arrivals of English Wh eat for our market were on a very limited scale, while tho se of all other grain of home produce were small. Of Flour the receipts were tolerably good. From Ireland and Scotland a few cargoes of grain came to hand, and from abroad upwards of 19,00 0 quarters of Wheat, 6,000 ditto of Barley, and 32,000 ditto of Oats, together with about 8,000 ba rrels of Flour, were reported. Fresh up, an unusually small quantity of English Wheat came to hand f rom any quarter consequently, the show of sample s of that grain was trifling. The limited state of the supply of English Wheat, together with the large attendance of both town and country buyers, caused the demand to rule very brisk, and an improvement in the quotations obtained • on MI mday last of from SIX SHILLINGS TO EIGHT SHILIMIGi per quarter, and at which a clearance was speedily effected. Notwithstanding the show of Foreign Wheat was good , 3118 sale for all kinds was very active, and a large bu siness Was doing, principally for the country trade, at a rise in value of from FOUR TO viva SHILLING - 8 per quarter. For export II transactions took place; but most of the supply was disposed o • There was a fair demand for all kinds of Barley. The beet. grinding qualities were a trifle higher; but in the value 0. 1 malting and distilling sorts no alteration took place. Although the quantity of Malt on offer was somewhat 02 the increaser the malt trade was very steady, and most of the large holders would not sell except at a trifle more money. The re WaS t . a better inquiry for Indian Corn, especially for 0 011 ing cargoes,. at is to per quarter more money: We had a very large supply of foreign Oats on show, but .. 4 of English, Irish, and Scotch was small. The Oat trade if,s! in a very inactive state, at barely stationary prices. l_t! Beans very few sales were concluded, yet the currencies Ira: supported. Peas moved off slowly, at about last week's cur rencies. The Flour trade was firm, and prices had an or ward tendency.
