EVENING EDITION. PUNISHMENT OF CHINESE OPIUM SMUGGLERS. ( From the Canton Register received to the 4th of January.) A few days ago Chung, a native gentleman of Macao, was beheaded by orders of th. Commissioner. We give the whole detail of this affair in order to enable the reader to form an opinion of the manner in which the new la'U operates. The father of Cbung is a literary graduate, his younger son was engaged in the opium traffic, and sonic months ago while OR the east coast he bought sixteen chests from one of the ships. Being, however, obliged to abscond, his brother, who for a considerable time received no tidings from him, became anxious about his welfare, and set out upon an exploring expedition. Before he, however, went to the west coast, he first visited one of the foreign vessels, with which his brother had had connexion, to make farther inquiries about him. A mandarin junk was anchored at a distance, and commanded by the infamous Hwang Chung, the same who burnt the Bilbaino. He bad a spyglass with him, and descrying the boat, he immediately seized Chung and the crew, and delivered them over to the Magistrate of Sinning. Chung, however, like a clever fellow, com pounded the matter with the civilian for 405 dollars, and to oblige him and the latter mete up to the Commissioner that the said Chung who had been caught was an excellent man, and had been on a voyage to visit a sick friend, when he was unhappily seized on suspicion of carrying supplies to the smugglers. Upon this Hwang Chung demanded 1500 dollars to buy his own co-operation, in order to give him a fair character ; and as Chung had only 300 left, he ; firmly refused to comply with the request. Exasperated at this backwardness, the naval officer immediately addressed a letter to the Commissioner, charging Chung with trai torous intercourse with barbarians. He was, therefore, taken up to the Bogne, and there dreadfully tortured, which wrung the confession of his brother's guilt frem him. Lin sent him afterwards to the Governor, who treated him 1 with still greater severity, until the unfortunate wretch, amidst the agonies of excruciating torture, stammered out that he himself was a dealer in the drug. In consequence 1 of this evidence he was beheaded, and his body arrived a few dap ago at this settlement. He was newly married to a young beautiful woman, who a few days before his execution bore him a son. We have this from the most authentic sources, and the only crime that can. be brought home to Chung is, that he knew about his brother's delta queney, and occasionally made cut the accounts for him. The boatmen, though declared innocent, have been sen tenced to transportatton. Hwatoe Chung, the cold-blooded pirate that burnt the 1 Bilbaino and bore witness that the vessel was an opium emuggter, was summoned before the Commissioner to hove ieatene private chat about the future military operations. Lin, who had heard a great deal of his exploits, and espe cielly had an indubitable proof of his being a hero in the affair of the Blibai..o, said, " Hwang., you are a brave mo't I according to your own s h ow i nv, — , and also in fay to t opinion, aind in tact the best Champion in our semi/ cause. I now command - J ou to go and seize the tat) British men of war." Thi - , being realer a hard task, and Hwang fear ; ing that he 'might cet.ch a tart a r, excuse d hi mse lf as we ll as be eetol. L'•. however turned round and said, "I am ICom muT der-ii,. Chief of the navy, go an d t P k e th e cra f t; if 7 ot.t I arose to do so, you sh a ll b e b e h ea d e d accor di ng t o i menial law for disobedience t o or d ers ." H wang rema i ne d mute, went on board his own junk, pondsred over the mat' er fur a while, and then seek French leave and has no .re been heard of. Thus one of the herees has honour v left the field. to' lAb The Heyngshan-Keen and Keun'inin rot have refused in the. most determined manner to 'Any the commands ef the Commissioner for seizing and. 'annoying the Eeflilh at Mac4o, because it is against. all Yule and ptttedent to I invade a friendly settlement, of which rho people had been hitherto reverentially olY ; di ent. Th e 'l eo T ae , h oweve r, I was still for war, and. could not coincide with their deter mination. Since the memorable campaign of the 9th instant, howevf.c, his courage base little cooled, and he no longer tunt'ddiets the civilians, nor urges them to deeds of viotecce. As this doughty commander has several war : junks ) l ing useless in the inner harbour, why does he not go tilt and bravely meet the Volage, to show that be dv.pises English prowess ? 1 , The place is at present swarming with the Commis sioner's spies and intormers. All the native authorities have received st:ict orders to search after traitorous na- / tivrs. who ma; have the ~ lightest connexion with the Eng. iish barbarians, and te denounce them instantly. The basest of men and the most fradulent informers have now an abunda► t. opportt , :aity to fill their pockets, and to ruin nica of - wealth P.ta respectability. 'Dv prisons of Canton are filled with a hrge number of i helpl.ess wretches, many of them entirely innocent. As, '•zwever, full license has been granted to informers, the mJst excellent citizens are led in chains to the dungeon, 1 there to expire under tortures, filth, and starvation. The 1 mortality of the d,:votrd ,victims has recently been so great 1 .. 44 to render the gaol a charnel house. What glory does this confer upon Lia's administration ? 1L LOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The Lords listened last night, with considerable patience and some quiet smiles, to two titades Of two renowned Marquiseshe of WESTMEATH and he of LoNDONDERRY, apropos, of presenting petitions against the Irish Corporation Bill. The latter Noble Marquis allowed himself a greater latitude than usual, and was more than usually eloquent against tho Ministers. Thoughts that breathe, and wor d s t h at Otcept they may blister himself, urn not the gifts of the Noble Marquis ; and, as no special notice was taken of his harangue, it probably did not scorch his opponent. Party processions was the subject of a brief explana tion by the Marquis of NORMANDY, when both he and the Earl of Wm/mow spoke highly in favour of Father MATTHEW, A considerable number of petitions was pretented i including one fr0m14r...51'06.3344,r,iii0. lane ffero Mr./ HOWARD,, to be hear4l by GotinetVat the bar against the Printed Papers The LORD CHAN!SELLOR - , ina temperate speech, calculated to 'remove altobjectiOnt v abet win' their stgporti mound- , l secondreading,:of• that Bill; the provision's of whiehlte explained. He buipha. :tically laid the blaMe ItitilaW, Which the COMmons have not sought to amend. Lord DENMAN recommended the Bill to their Lord ships as the best means of putting an end to the dip pute, but took the opportunity of giving his Oven history of it. The Noble Lord showed that he was actuated in his decision by something which took place out of his Court, and beyond the record he had to try, namely, certain resolutions passed by the House of Commons, on which, be they good or bad, Lord DENMAN was not called on to sit in judgment, still less was he called on to allow them to influence a decision of the Court. It might be unseemly and improper in the Commons to pass resolutions on the eve of a trial ; it was the busi ness of the Court to take no notice of them whatever. We certainly had no suspicion till we beard Lord DENMAN'S speech, that he had set out on the design of snubbing, checking, and humbling the House of Commons. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL we can conceive, as Lord DEN MAN says, was wrong. Lawyers have too many quib bles, and crotchets, and fictions—they so invariably go from the straight-forward, plain, and open path of truth, that they must be wrong, and both Lord DEN MAN and Mr. ATTORNEY were in the same box. Lord DENMAN'S speech was not a pouring of oil on the troubled waters, and the cheers of the Tory Lords must, for once in his life, have afforded him a strange gratification. After a long discussion on the vexed question of privilege, the Noble Lord said there were parts of the Bill, though he approved of it in principle, to which he could not assent. He thought an officer of either House of Parliament going into Court, and putting an end to an action, was casting an undeserved slur on the Judges. He objected to that part of the Bill which goes to put an end to Mr. HOWARD'S actions against the servants of the House of Commons, and he wished the Bill to give protection to any individual publishing Reports '5l d o th b e s _ e p r :o in c g e , ed t i h n a g ts of the two Houses. The Noble Lord concluded a speech, an imated by personal feelings, by gmen"ttshewirerleegtioslabteionintwerofeurleddewomithe by to sup posed little, if ju. posed privileges, or if the law could not be carried into execution by fearless and independent Judges." Lord MELBOURNE supported the Bill, and begged to remind th e i r Lordships, that Judges were not infal lible, though he admitted a judgment was a delicate thing to meddle with. The Duke of WELLINGTON agreed that the present state of things should be put an end to, and deplored the resolution of the Commons of 1835 . He did not approve of Lord DENMAN'S suggestion, because it would alter the whole law of libel. The Bill was read a second time, and after some conversation as to when Lord LYNDHURST might be able to attend, and as to the necessity of forwarding the Bill, it was ordered to be committed this day, when it will probably Ise postponed till Lord LYNDHURST be able to attend. The world waits on Lord LYND HURST. At half-past nine their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons many petitions were presented, as usual. Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that on an early day after the recess he would submit a motion to the House on the Corn-laws. At the request of Sir J. GRAHAM, Sir W. MOLES WORTH, with the readiness of a friend to the Tories, resigned the precedence for a motion on emigreion, which belonged to him to-day, to enable Sir JAMES t 9 bring forward his motion against the Ministers. Sir WILLIAM implies thereby that his own motion is unimportant, and he besought from the Tories a patient hearing after Easter, as a reward for his ready ncqiiiereentc 'fast night in their wishes. On Wednesday %seek Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to move the adjournment for a fortnight. Mr. EMERSON TENSEST, after the holidays, is to call attention to the delay in settling the claims on the Brazil Government, arising from the revolution of Pan; Lord Jottz RUSSELL gave a further explanation on the subject of the San Sulpice Monastery at Montreal, rind said. he knew not why the ordinance relating theref9 065 to be censured, unless it were that Catholics —e not to be treated like other men. - -.kat but; Id Revenues Bill ()cell Eectent....:' pied the House of Com.— :tas find a second titre, by a majors.,Lord SE iteN's Annuity Bill, the Adm..

Court One Of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S triumphs on F i ridny evening was caused by an appeal to the Unncd States, which had been involved, he said, in a m notary difficulty like ouraelveF, not caused by their Corn-laws ; and, therefore, our monetary difficulties might not be caused by our Corn-laws. It is not clear, however, that the monetary difficulties of the United States were not in part superinduced by our Corn-aN. It was known here in the autumn of 1838 that we should require corn from abroad, rihich made the Bank of England cautious ; and as it ap plied the screw, the merchants who had given credit. 0 the Americans were obliged to recal - or . narrow ,heir advances, and so increased the difficulties of the money market in America. We have, however, sOme very distinct evidence of the operation of our Corn-laws in embarrassing the Americans to lay before our readers. The dif ficulties experienced by our own merchants and manufacturers in finding markets compelled them to force a trade, which to some extent they tried to do with the Americans, and the result we take from the Morning Post of Saturday : In the year 1 839 the excess of imports into the States over the exports was 39,250,556 dollars, which is lArger than has occurred in any given year, with the exception of three, since 1789. This heavy importation could not have been derived through the ordinary channels if a sudden accession had not been given to the power of the currency, for it took place at a time when the United States had but few goods to offer in exchange for what they imported, I and their stocks, certificates, &c., were unsaleable in Europe. We forced our commodities into the United States, while we refused to take their corn, and endeavoured to the utmost of our power, which is very great, fot vte stand in the relation of a creditor to the United States, to abstract gold in payment. To a certain extent we succeeded, till the American hanks stopped payment, which increased the drain on our own gold to pay for corn. Our Corn-laws increased the difficulties of the Americans, and d s turbed the usual distribution of the precious metals in all parts of the civilized world. By creating a sudden demand for corn, which, as Mr. GROTE happily explained, there was no re gular trade, no organized mercantile means to supply, except by sending away gold, those laws deranged the money markets of all the civilized world, and are partly chargeable with those contem poraneous difficulties which Sir R. PEEL imagined alight be an excuse for them. In the New York Courier and Inquirer, of 19th Feb of the present year, we find the follow ing passage, which, making every allowance for the exaggeration of a partizan, draws a picture some what re.wmbling the condition of the American agriculturist The farmer east fealiie atsolettiy trotliing (of the, pro• duce of the last season, iti etlif4 of Ole mock tbrigratula. tions of Mr. Van Buren's message on those hetent harvests which have lavishly recompensed well-directed industry, and given to it that sure reward which is vaiely song 4 in visionary speculations."" I cannot ihercel. l .,'; tJtithitth unite from the message) " view without peculiar satislactidil, itfr fyi dences afforded by the past seasoa of the benefits that. sprin g from the steady devotion of the husbandman to his honourable pursuit. No means of individual comfort is more certain, and no source of national prosperity is so sure. Nothing Can dothpetisate a people for a depend- . ence Upon othefa for thh bread they Sat j and that cheer.' ful abundance on which the happiness of Zirefy °tit :to much depends, is to be looked for nowhere with such sure reliance as in the industry of the agriculturist and in the bounties of the earth." Now what is preyed by the state of things existing throughout the country, and .among the very class thus referred to in the Executive message ? Our people, during the past year, have OA been' dependent Upon others for the bread:they:.have eaten,— They,have .not,riegleted to cultivate the soil, and. have fartunistelx retiPgd_fram it an abundant harvest. Besides answering the demand for out consumption, they have raised a liberal surplus for exporta tion. More than a fair proportion of the labour of the country has been devoted to the pursuits of agriculture ; mid Mtn, ttetofding td the ne* theories, have so over traded in the productions of the earth, that mere than three fourths of our farming population arc in circumstanceS of great embarrassment and distress. But while the American farmers have been pining for a market for their productions—while their indebtedness to us was dodipelling them to export their gold—while, according to the pro- Corn-law Post, they had no goods wherewith to pay for their large imports, chiefly from this cotintrythey had actually a surplus quantity of corn, and the manufacturers of MatiChester and Paisley, the makers of the goods with which the markets of America were inundated, were actually, at the eatne time, hungering to death for that corn, but were not able, in consequence of our law, to regeiVe aria consiirhe it. sire find ttto nations, naturally the customers of each other, &hi 1101118 the products of an advanced civilization, and the other of a recently occupied country, to sell, miettially watitihg therm artteles, and find them prohibited from exchanging theist by our C orn-law, that law must be denounced as a cause of agri• gulttiral distreaa in the United States, and of manu facturing starvation in England, It is one consequence of the sliding sddl tit duties, as has been well exemplified by the petitioq of •the leOetpci4.Wierbliatitsi almost to prevent the importation ofee'orti from the United Btateli tin3eir. thatiscale the:iriarkeis :vary so suddenly and so ,v( 1 . tensively, that defoliants do not like to order corn from a distance, lest the duty, which rnictlit be at Ist when they gave the order, should be 2gs. before it reaches the port. The pttsetit CON-lawn is therefore almost tantamount to a prohibititin lid d corn trade with America, and is plainly chargeable with a part of that distress amongst the American agriculturists of which the New York Paper com plains. The bounty of a most gracious Providence, which, conferring abundance on our neighbours, might have been a blessing to our suffering and starving manufacturers, is made, by the operation of the Devil's laws, a curse to both. The Ameri can farmers cannot buy their cloths and hardware— they are not allowed to buy the American farmers' flour ; and both experiencing suffering, disappoint ment, and distress, become a prey to those angry feelings which break out into great crimes, and perhaps can only be soothed by some bloody strife. At present such angry feelings are obviously growing up both in the United States and here. We are far from assorting that had we no Corn-laws the mad or, foolish spirit of politicians, in either hemisphere, would never have found the means of exciting national animosity and national war. But surely in that contention which seems likely to arise from a local quarrel, and for local objects, En g land would have found m an y friends and man y guarantees of moderation and forbearance in the American Government, had the American farmers, instead of being soured and exasperated by distress, been s miling and prosperous from having sold their cor n well in England. Surely, too, our own Govern ment would be doubly cautious, if it ran the risk of destroying, for the sake of maintaining a right to a few acres of forest land in the other hemisphere, the prosperity of our own manufacturers who with their produce would buy the corn of the American farmers. In the want of those mutual kindly feel ings knitting together these nations, which the Corn. laws prevent, in the bitterness and mutual exaspera tion of distress, we are not sure that we do not trace even more injurious effects than the starvation to which they annually doom a multitude of nor people. This at least is certain, that bloody strife is their natural consequence, and perhaps the best corrective of that superabundance of population which in both hemispheres they pre vent enjoying a happy existence. The evils which we have adverted to, resulting from the Corn-laws, hastening on a war—if not directly involving us in one with the United States —are Inflicted on us by the landowners, who constitute the great bulk of the Tory party. That party__ the least worthy, we believe, that ever controlled a nation's destinies—is to-night, under the auspices of a great Tory landlord, to make an onslaught on the Ministers, because they have been unable to avoid a contention with China, brought on p art l y , if not wholly, by demands, that may be called out rageous, of the Chinese authorities. The Tory landlords will weep and .chine over what they . sail the horrors: of •an immoral opium war ; per- haps they be upheld by many Anti-Corn law MemberS who have a much more jus tifiable ,horror of '.war of all kinds, and the two together may possibly shake the Ministers, and I I give the Tory landlords an ascendancy in the councils of the State. The Tories, detestable hy pocrites though they be, will but labour in their vo• cation of endeavouring to turn public indignation 1 from themselves ; but we hope that no Anti-Corn law Meiqber will be gulled by their hypocrisy into helping the Tories. If the Tory politicians who annually;doom multitudes of our people to a pain ful and lingering death, who foster national animo sities in every quarter by their accursed and selfish restrictions, shall pretend to oppose the demonstra . tion against China on the score of morality and hu. they will deserve to be branded as the MM.. , crires that ever disgraced the history irreatest ny t ,_ , of mankind. NV n,. the words of kindliness on their t ' 1 lips, their hearts are bey,; on tyranny, and every friend of hurnanisy who aids the Corn-law Tories pro ;ress of will plant a deadly Wavy at the civiliza tion and at the liberties of mantiind. Th 9 French Journals of Thursday bring no neltr of interest. The correspondent of a I\l•.rseilles Peper writes as folloics from Alexandria, under date of the 22d ult.:— ANGLO-RUSIAN ALLIANCE.---it is generally believed here the the Anglo- Ruc,sian alliance will be but a dream, and that M. Ot,.iot's appointment as Ambassador and M. Tillers' nomination al Minister will tend in a great mea sure to ally the Cabinets of London and Paris, and that the v - ell-known energy of the latter will be put forth in order to bring the Oriental question to a solution. Lord Pal mcrston's policy is strongly commented upon, and already important conc:_ssions are said to have been made to the opinion of France. Mehemet Ali still maintains his im posing position, anti is ably seconding France. The ulti matum will be that Constantinople and Alexandria will be left to resume their primitive position. It is reported in one of the Paris papers that the Committee on the African War Supplementary Credit Bill, has voted by a majority of eight to one, to reduce the grant proposed by the Government. In fact what we all along foresta..l has at last come to pass. The French tax-payers arc growing tired of the African war hobby. It is something like the fleet, isasrnuch as it costs more than it is really worth. War with a people who have nothing to lose, and ships without commerce, are capital modes of getting expeditiously to the bottom of the public purStl. It was rumoured that the King of NAPLES would send an Envoy Extraordinary to London to settle the Sulphur question. Several letters from Algiers, published in the journals of Marseilles, insist on the uselessness of the great display of force made by Marshal Vallee for the occupation of Cherchell ; and one of them observes that in 1832 the Duke of Rovigo had thought it sufficient to send thither a steam=boat with one battalion and some field pieces. It is certain that the clearest result of this great move ment of troops male at the season when the rain set in, after having let the soldietq remain inactive during several weeks of fine weather, has been to send several hundreds of them to the hospital. We have no news from Madrid to-day, the express which brought news of the 28th having anticipatc4 the ordinary mail. The Eco de .Aragon of the 30th Marti) likewise brings nothing new. At Bayonne, on the 31st, the apprehension of the projected revival of the new civil war in Navarre began to subside. It had been checked by the arrest of several of she principal Carlist officers, such as Elio and Alzaa, who had quitted their residence, in obedience, it is said, to the express order of Don Carlos.— Le Commerce. MILAN, APRIL I.—The last letters from Valetta (in Malta) announced that a sinking of the earth at the dis tance of six miles from that town, in the environs of Cresade, near Malcuba, had caused several heaps of enor mous stones, which seem to have been raised by the 'mad of man, to give way, discovering the entrance to two vast caverns, in each of which there is a building, divided into three parts, and erected on foundations of Cyclopean ar chitecture. In these buildings there have been found a great number of skeletons of men and animals, several agricultural instruments, vases, and other utensils, and nine grotesque idols, eight of which are of stone, and in perfect preservation, but the ninth is of terracotta, and muti latb.s.4. These figures, except that they are of very small dimensions, resemble the large statue of Bacchus lately which is in the Bourbon Museum at.

Mr. Nott..:ll for years has been in the habit of . oving lectures on astronomy at the Opera-house, chiefly far the amusement and instruction of the juvenile popula lation during the holidays, and had engaged the house months ago for this purpose, little expecting thrtt the pre l'cnt Lord Chamberlain ,vould commit such an act otirtit. Lice, bigotry, and absurdity. This conduct appears utterly incomprehensible. At the Surrey and several other tiled. tres, Jack Sheppard, or any play of an immoral ten dency, may be performed during Lent, while at the theatres under the jurisdiction of the Crown and the Church, it is forbidden to describe the heavenly bodies, and instruct the youthful mind in a science which, more than all the sciences togc4„her, tends to raise the thoughts to the contemplation and worship of the Creator of the universe. We always considered that Mr. Howell deserved great credit for his exertions in disseminating this important science. The Bishop of London it appears, however, is of a different opinion ; for to trim alone is to.he,:tattributed a mandate more sbsorcl and' tyratili*atithan: , aby issued even by Com misskyritt tin.

The Coifitinittee met again this day at eleven o'clock, when Mr. COCKBURN opened his ei'M against the Clive interest. He said he would be enabled to prove a case et treating, such a had never yet come under the cognizance of any Cdtilinit tee. Ile wotild be enabled to prove one of the grossest and worst eases of corruption which had ever been inquired into. Of course his first duty would be to prove the agency of those parties WheSe conduct he Would impeach. Vast of all he would prove that Mr. William Holmes, a well-6(31 qt Cbdritetef ; was the prime agent and mover of all the corruption which idok place at the late election for Ludlow. He would show him re siding at Denham House —presiding over the Committee formed there for the purpose* of the election --giving general orders respecting it, and in constant communication with Mr. 11, Clive, the candidate. He would have little difficulv also in proving the agency of Dancy, Frail and Kevis, all of whom were deeply engaged in the corrupt practices which had been so plentiful at the late election --.the names of Williams and Lloyd would also be frequently brought before the Committee in con nection with these cases. His Learned Friend had had much difficulty in proving any case of treating, and bringing it homo to any agent of Mr. Alcock. He (Mr. C.) would have no difficulty at all in proving the grossest case of wholesale treat ing carried on, not secretly, but openly. Voters were not invited privately to go to So-and-so, and they would get spirits or ale. No, they were invited by placards posted throughout the tow n , i nv i t i ng the voters to such an inn one n i g ht, an d another, another night. He would prove that those meetings were presided over by one of Mr. Clive's agents—that they made electioneering speeches—that Mr. Clive very frequently attendedand that the' voters paid nothing for the liquor . which . had b een consume d. Hi s next prod w ould be of bribery , eiy and although at all times it was very difficult to get at cases of EVENING EDIVON.___, bribery, if his instructions were correct he would 'lave no culty in proving clearly and distinctly many cases dptn ex;`,,e7i: bribery. It appeared that. a M ' . wro te a Mr Kevis formerly '- Ludlow. He was a stationer, and a clever man, who slo came e time good many articles in the local newspapers. He for so had gone to reside in Shcewsbury. When the election! t about, having been formerly an active agent , he was, s!'n for by a person named Frail ; but before corm n ^ over to Ludlow, there was a hole • piece of ens ruption to be done in Shrewsbury. Orders to do whiel had been brought over by Frail. There was a person , teemed Richard Cook, who was in gaol in Shrevrsbur.;- for , a debt of 46/. He had formerly been a very busy messet.lger in the Clive interest, and a voter also, and Frail and Hey.`, before going to Ludlow, paid the debt and took him along with them. They went over, and Kevis went to Denham House, where he met the Committee presided over by Mr. William Holmes. That gentleman t0,..k Kevis out, and said he was wanted for the very important pur k iose of writing squibs against Mr. A.cock. He said a gentlemao much more tit for so im portant a duty was to be in Shrewsbnr) next morning, viz., Dr• 51acginn. He was despatched over to fetch the Dv., but ID' had not kept his promise, and Mr. Kevis s'eturned to Denham House. He had several conversations with .Mr. Holmes, who said that the eleotion was to be gained, if 'none) could do so. He was shown a list of voters, with brackets against aeweral names, and the nacre of other persons against them. His own was against several, and he was informed that it was considered Oat he had some influence over those persons, and lie was to use every en deavour to get them, at. whatever expense. The L earned Gentleman then detailed several cases of gross bribery, of which the following is a sample :—There was a miller its Lurl low, named Eartlett ; one of the gentlemen who, he could ;4-sive, acted as an agent for Mr. Clive, went to him, and pet the very pertinent inquiry—. How much money it took to set it up A miller comfortably ? " The miller said it required a good deal. The agent then asked if 70/. would do him any goo 3? He said it would. The agent then plainly said —•• That sum shall yours if you vote for Air. Bartlett had always been a voter on the other side, and thought he might do .his party good some other way than 'Ay voting for them ; he therefore waited upon Mr. Aleock's Committee and informed them of all the circtun stance:. He was instructed to go on. He accordingly pro' mised his vote, and before the election he waited upon the agent of Mr. Clive. He was told to send his wife ; she went, and reeeived 151. in three 51. notes, with 35/. in sovereigns raapped in a brown paper ; the remainder of the money was to be paidafter the vote had been given. That money and that brown paper would be produced before the Committee. There was an other case whevei,, the attempt at bribery totally failed. The election was near a close, and a :Mr. Wade (we believe), a voter on the Liberal side, had not yet tendered his vote ; it vas. therefore thought he might he bought o v er, a nd he was viaited upon by Mr. Kevis, by order of Mr. W . Holmes, and 500/. was offered for his vote ; it was to be borne in mi nd that the election depended almost upon a single vote , and that Mr. Wade was an adverse voter—that recounted for the immense bribe offered to that gentleman ; it was , however , s teadil y re fused, hut both criminally and morally the party were e q ually guilty as if Mr. Wade had fallen before the temptation. The ' e were some other cases of what was called adducing voters. Some of them were taken two or three miles out of the town of Ludlow to an inn, ant.t kept there for several days prior to the election, living on the s e at of the land, and, in place of drioking their usual beverage of b eer, or gin and water, they fared suMstuortsly every day upon chOmpagne. Butne o voter, namedVirooessl, was even more kindly treated and highly honoured, for he was taken to Walcot House. the seat of Lord Powis himself, and there he was feasted until Use day of elec tion, when, as a matter ref course, he voted in tin: Clive' terest. If he proved these facts, he would have proved ode of. the grossest cases of corruptiome that had been seen evert in the' ~f days; and Mr. Clisa must take the consequences of the acts s ' himself and those in whose hands he had placed himself. Hs then called James Page, who had been a clerk to Mr. Dansey a solicitor. Mr. D. canvassed him for Mr. Clive, il'ut witness did not like his politics, and although he offered to s tand neutral, Mr. D• said that would not do, and he discharges: him. Mr. Danq acted as an agent for Mr. Clive, presided: at meetings of his, friends, and either nominated or seconded the nominatio n °. Mr. Clive, and canvassed with him. Mr, Foster an apothecary was then called to prove that Messrs. Griffiths, Williams, Lloyd and Dancey, a ct ed as Od,. acknowledged themselves to be agents for Mr. C l ive , in till' gentleman's presence, upon the :occasion of settling' as to the number of polling places drat would be necessary for the electio n. John Brook Kevis resided in Ludlow, and used to w rite for, the Worcester Journal, the SalopianJournel, the Ten ; ratans Messenger, and the Hereford Journal. His poi:tics wore C° r; servative, and he was frequently engaged to write articl cc '° these papers it the Clive interest. in 1 83 5 he gat up a' C O 3 " 0 : e servative Institution in Ludlow. Before the last elect i ok was living in Shrewsbury. On the Saturday before the t'ie.ce; Sion he was sent for to come over to Ludlow. The mes aen g was Frail, a hair-dresser of Ludlow. Witness went wrest , day along with Cook the voter. When he got to Ludhav went to Denham House, and there saw Messrs. Bird, Willi ams. and his son, L. Clark and Lloyd, solicitors, and Mr. W. Holm." , the Member of Parliament. (LEFT SITTING.)
