The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speed introduction into almost every country, and ad dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance.

The coast-guard and the people here were most anxious to render every assistance to save the crew, if time had allowed them, but before they could go back to Kilkee for ropes she filled through her hatches, about eight o'clock, and went down. n e number of persons seen were about nine. Nothing but the unlimited power of God could save a single person, as the sea was breaking over the cliffs, which were one hundred yards high. She shortly after totally broke up, and for twenty four hours se could not even surmise what her cargo was; after that time small portions of cotton goods, as small as ribands, were driven in, in the sea-weed; and the wind having shifted, portions of the wreck were driven to the north, and ultimately driven on shore from this to Seafield ; very little here of the lighter material. The body of a man has been washed on shore, without clothes; he seems to have been of the better class. I got a coffin made for him, and assisted by the coast-guard and police he has been interred in consecrated ground. His age was about fifty, rather bald and grey, a powerful, large, rather corpulent man. There is a report here that he was stripped by two of the country people, and again thrown into the sea, where I believe I was the first to see him, early on Monday, the sea then running high—so high that no boat could go for him. However, about one o'clock the body was washed near the strand, and two of the country people, John Kennedy and Mar tin Moran, both rather in liquor, rushed into the water; the returning wave brought the body back quickly into deep water, and they continued to follow, until caught by the fresh wave ; both were drowned, and if the report be true, Moran was one of those who stripped the body. None of the other bodies found— nor those of Kennedy or Moran.—Newry Telegraph. [A subscription, we understand, has been entered into at the Exchange News-room, for the relief of two widows who are left destitute by the death of their husbands.] MR. SWIFT AND MRS. KELLY. This affair has already excited considerable interest, from its singularity and the indefatigable perseverance displayed on both sides. Mrs. K. far from being disheartened by her late defeat, h as renewed the attack with unabated impetuosity. Oa the 25th of March, 1831, a marriage' was contracted according to the Italian laws and customs between Mr. Wm. Swift and ' Miss Kelly. Her mother, who was opposed to the match, con trived to leave Italy with her daughter, and arrived in England. Mr. Swift immediately brought an action against her in the Arches' court, which he lost, but having carried the case before the House of Lords, the decision of the former court was an nulled and the lady summoned to the conjugal residence ; to prevent which Mrs. Kelly left England for France, whither she carried her daughter. Mr. Swift followed them, and on Wed nesday last lie met her in Paris, and little persuasion was neces sary to induce her to repair to her husband's residence. Be tween eight and nine in the evening an individual, who an nounced himself as a member of the Chamber of Deputies, ar brother, who was the bearer of the message, and the wi-disant lodgings to an s f e l e r b e i g m lie , ted d is t ;u - sa t e 4- arose illr s b e w t i w ft e . e his .he l Et i t e e d r aht e tavin ir g refuse deputy, who insisted on seeing Mr. S., and added that if that gentleman refused, fie would have both him and his wife arrest ed by the gensdarmes. Nigh words ensued on both sides, and the altercation began to take a serious turn, when Mr. Swift, fearing the consequences, opened the door of the apartment and demanded the purport of the strangeee intrusion, who pretended that his quality of member of parliament authorised his intrusion, into an Englishman's house—but his menaces making no impression on Mr. S., be took his departure, threatening to send the parties to prison. To avoid the scandal which such scenes might occasion, and to screen themselves from the fury of the mother, who would not fail t o ma k e every attempt to carry o ff her daughter, the young couple decided on going into the environs, and chose St. Cloud for the place of refuge. But the pretended member was waiting in the street and attempted to arrest them, crying d la yards, on which Mr. Swift put his hand before his mouth. During the scuffle the lady got into the coach, and Mr. S., with the assis tance of his two brothers, succeeded in extricating himself from his antagonist, and drove off. The disappointed member cried out in vain to have them stopped. On their return to Paris thep lived happily together until l as t S a t ur d ay, w h en b etween three and four in the afternoon, the substitute of the Procureur du Roi, accompanied by the Commissaire de Police, and es corted by police officers, arrived at the house, and carried Mrs. Swift, although a protestant, to the Convent des Dames St. Michel. Her husband has protested against this strange pro ceeding of the Procureur du Roi. Mrs. S., will probably re main a prisoner in the convent until the decision of the tribu nals set her at liberty.—Pari s Courier. The Chief Justice of the Connnon Pleas has written to the town clerk of Yolk to decline, on the part of the Judges, to receive in future the gratuity of eight guineas presented to them, instead of a supper at each assizes, from the mayor and corporation, and returns the eight guineas paid last summer.

BANK FAILURE.—The bank of W. Brereton and Co., of Briuton, in Norfolk, has suspended payment. The Bury Post says—" It was not a.bank of issue for reissuable notes, but, to the sorrow of a great number of industrious hardworking people, it was a bank of deposit. The liabilities are roughly estimated at £70,000; the assets, it is feared, will fall miserably short of that sum. Amongst the creditors is one to the amount of seven or eight hundred pounds, who would scarcely allow himself fire and candle." WELSH CHARITY BALL, WELLINGTON ROOMS.

Lord WHAIINCLIFFE gave notice that on Monday next he should move for a copy of the names of the gentlemen recom mended to the Secretary of State to be appointed magistrates, on the part of the respective town councils of the kingdom. - NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND.) The EA lit, of RODEN asked ministers whether they were now prepared to supply him with the information for which he had applied last session with respect to the application of the sums voted at the recommendation of the commissioners on education in Ireland. The return he wanted to see was one which would have shown the number of children attending the national schools in Ireland, distinguishing the religion of each. This was, he conceived, a most valuable return, which would support him greatly in his belief, that the system of religious education adopted never could be satisfactory to the feelings or the princi ples of the protestant population of that country. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE replied, in substance, that the return could not be produced, because the government was not possessed of it, the commissioners not having deemed it neces sary or expedient to prepare any such document. His Lord ship justified the opinion of the commissioners, upon the ground that such a return could only be obtained through an in quisitorial investigation respecting religion. The wish was to allay feelings of animosity, and to merge all difficulties and dif ferences that stood in the way of promoting education gene rally in Ireland. The Bishop of EXETER contended that the documents were absolutely necessary to enable the parliament to judge of the soundness of the conclusions and the propriety of the recom mendations on which the government had resolved to ac t. Lord PLUNKET entered at some length into the question, de fending the conduct of the government and the commissioners, and vindicated the system as calculated to produce the most be neficial effects. ' After some further discussion, in which Lords Cloncurry anc Melbourne took part, the discussion terminated with an ex• pression of dissatisfaction on the part of the Earl of Roden at the continued refusal of the government to afford the informa. tion for which he had Asked.—Adjourn-ed. FERREJRAY X6.18..6 that for that sum of money he contracted that a member should obtain a seat. Distinctly that is the charge against him; and whether he applied that personally for his individual advantage, Or politically for means of public corruption, is equally discre ditable to him, and equally rests on him as a charge of indivi dual pecuniary advantage. I did not intend to say one wood upon this subject. I declare on my honour, as a gentle:nan, I had no intention until the learned gentleman provoked me to do so, by saying that I denied by a cheer that I considered him exempted from the allegation of Pecuniaryadvantage. I pro nounced uo sentence—l expressed no opinion ; but this 'I said, that the hon. and learned gentleman was not justified; and still more am I astonished that my right hon. friend opposite, by a loud and vociferous cheer, should show that he considered this a light and trivial imputation on the character of a member, or on the character of this house, as a thing which was rather to • be laughed away, and treated as a ridiculous charge, than a matter demanding the most serious and deliberate investigation of parliament, which had pronounced itself determined to do away with corruption as it existed under the former system, and, most of all, requiring investigation from those who_ had been foremost in denouncing that corruption; but I hope I mis understood the cheers of my right hon. fri en d o pp os i te ( no, no). I heard hint most loudly cheering the assertion which fell from the hon. and learned member for l3ublin, that this wa s a c h arge so truly ridi cu l otis t h at i t was to be treated with contempt— that it was one which the house was taking up as a matter of mock solemnity,- and that for that reason it was a matter of in difference on what day it should be brought forward. I think that this can be no matter of mock solemnity. The house has instituted so many proceedings in cases of corruptions in vari ous boroughs —in Liverpool, Ipswich Yarmouth,—nay, even into alleged corruption in the case of Chatham—that it must be a matter of deep and vital importance to the independence this house, whether there is or is not a member in it who is capable. of exercising that influence which can introduce to a county in Ireland a man or whom he expresses the lowest and meanest opinion—(cheers) -= a man who is utterly unknown to the con stituency of the county,—and that the member possessing, that influence is prepared to receive for the exercise of that influ ence, for whatever purposes, the sum of 122000. If there be anything in reform, if there be anything in a desire to support the purity of election—if there be anything in a desire really to maintain those principles to which I am and ever have been, sincerely attached, the last charge that can be brought on this occasion is that it is a measure of mock solemnity, and, on th a t account, of its indiff erence to be brought forward on this day or that. I care not on what day it is brought forward. The hon. and learned gentleman says he prefers Tuesday. Tuesday then let it be. 1 know not why not to-day. The hon. and learned member tells us he conceives it-to be a fitting case for inquiry before a committee. The honourable member moves for a com mittee. He says, give us three days. It is not for me to say how that time is to be employed (cheers). It is not for me to say why a delay of three days is necessary or desirable. I free ly confess that I cannot enter into his feelings. Ido not un derstand them, and 1 never have participated in them ; hut this I know, that if I sat in this house under such a charge as has 'been repeated over and over again, supported by documents— the facts hardly denied, or at least much of the facts adMitted upon both sides, and such an issue were pending as this, whe ther I had used my influence upon the receipt of mon e y, cor ruptly to procure th e e l ect i on o, a member of thiS house, , I say that twenty-four hours of the session would not have elapsed be fore I would have met the charge. Ido remember one occasion. when the hon. and learned gentleman founo it convenient to take five days of an adjourned debate (I shall never quarrel with him fur taking as much time as he thinks necessary) to answer some observations that fell from me. Ido not quarrel with his taking time to make a defence against an accusation. I say that in my case, rather than move for the postponement of a single hour (had not a motion been made), I would my self have called on the house to express their judgment.— (cheers.) The discussion was not closed until Mr. O'CONNELL had made another attempt to address the house, iu which however he was called to order by Lord Howicx. Mr. HUME and Mr. SiiiEr. also spoke. it was finally agreed that the business shotild bet resumed on Tuesday, (this day.) NW . The ArronNEr-GENERAEL moved BILLS for leave to bring in the following bills :—Bills to facilitate the enfranchisement of copy. holders; bill to amend the law relating to lands held by copy of court roll; bill for abolishing customary modes of descent, and for the commutation of heriots; bill for the amendment of the law of escheat and the law relating to terms of years to which persons dying intestate and without kindred shall be entitled at law or in equity; bill tot ascertaining the boundaries of Manors and lands when such boundaries are confused or unkntSwn. Leave given. Captain PEcnnu, brought in a bill for the better protection of fisheries on the roast of England and Wales. Mr. O'CONNELL brought in a bill to amend the law of libel. PUBLIC LIBRARIES. —BRIT I S H MUSEUM. E Mr. STCOURT moved the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the state of the British Museum. Mr. EWART complained of the want of accommodation which the reading public received at the public libraries in London, and observed that at Paris the case was very different, for the people at large had constant and daily access to five libraries, which were open as well on Sunday as on other days. He de sired to see the same plan adopted here, and to have the Museum library open on that day to all classes who were entitled or able to avail themselves of that privilege. Lord SANDON was of opinion that' the proposal for opening the Museum library on Sunday was injudicious, and could never be carried into operation. The great facility which was afforded to the Parisian public of admission to the libraries had been re: ferred to by the hon. member, but he must state one fact which would at once show the result of such freedom—namely, that the book-stalls of. Paris were co vere d with th e wor k s which hateibeen abstracted from the public collections by those who were thus indiscriminately admitted to them. After a few observations from Mr. HswEs, the motion was agreed to, and the committee appointed. Several bills were brought in, pursuant to leave granted, and read a first time. JEWISH DI L [TIES. - Mr. F. B A RING presented a DISA petition from the mayor and cor poration of Portsmouth, praying for the removal of all disabili ties from the.jews. Adjourned at nine o'clock. HOUSE OF LOADS.--FaiDAy. Earl BROWN LOW presented 'k petition from the agricultural association of Boston complaining of agricultural distress, ankl praying for relief. • AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. The Marquis of LONDONDER4Y,in a speech of considerable length, after referring to the mitice of the Affairs df Spain in the King's speech, reprobated , th e conduct of his Maj es ty' s ' ministers towards that distraetid-conntry. Speaking of the butcheries practised by the Carlist's and the Christinos parties, and of the disgrace attached to our government for permitting British subjects. to 'be connected with them, the noble marquis said,—it was in vain to deny thatthe example of those repeated butcheries was infectious; and he considered it a most unhappy circumstance that .a number of oar unfortunate countrymen w ere induced to proceed to Spain. The noble viscount has de clared that they would be protected by the convention, but that undoubtedly was not the fact. He believed that many atrocities had been committed by some of the men who were sent out from the Isle of Dogs. If his information were incorrect, it could be contradicted by his Majesty's government. A letter upon this subject, written after the last battle, had been placed in 'his hands. If he called the attention of their lordships to it, he did so for the purpose of showing Europe and the world that his Majesty's g overnment, inst ea d of carrying on war manf u lly an d boldly, did so in an imperfect and umntelligible manner—in a manner degrading and disgustful to every Englishman. (Hear, hear.) Don Carlos had spared the lives of several soldiers of the British Legion, and how had his humanity been requited ? The letter to which he referred would answer that question. It was dated the 21st of February, and contained this passage : " Last night, a number of General Evans's soldiers, returning drunk from th e b att l e, massacred 130 of Don Carlos's troops. The English officers did their best to prevent this cowardly massacre; the men would not listen to them, but barbarously gave themselves up to the work of assassination." If, then, the 'officers could not restrain the men from adopting such a course, what must the state of their discipline be? In another . place the noble Secretary of State had dwelt on the superiority of the Queen's forces, and had made an attack on the policy adopted by Don Carlos, because he sheltered his troops in the mountains of Navarre and Biscay. Tho noble secretary inferred from that circumstance that the cause of Don Carlos was desperate.' Now, this was a proof of no such thing- and, when he made the obser vation, the nobl e secretary could hardly have avoided recollect ing what was the conduct of the Duke of Wellington when, year after year, he retreated, upon the principle of sound military policy, upon the lines of Torres Vedras. (Hear.) Hii Ma jesty's government had expressed a hope, that the firmness, prudence, and vigour of the Spanish government would soon restore peace to Spain: He had ventured, however, to give utterance to a different opinion —be bad given his reasons for holding that opinion —and he now protested against that part of his Majesty's speech which spoke of the firmness, prudence, and vigour of the Spanish government as being likely to effect a speedy termination of the civil war. The noble marquis con cluded by moving, "That there be laid before this house returns of all warlike stores, clothing, provisions, arms, ammunition, and artillery, likewise of all naval stores of every description, furnished to Spain by the British government, stating the value thereof, and what amount was paid, together with the names and rank of all officers on half-pay at present serving in Spain." Viscount MELBOURNE had no objection to the production of the papers moved for. The assistance granted to Spain was to be paid for, although under existing circumstances it was not thought proper to press for the payment of the arms and ammu nition which had been granted. The remarks made upon that part of his Majesty's speech, which had reference to the affairs of Spain, by the noble marquis, should have been made when - that speech was under the considelation 'of the house. He (Lord M.) deplored the ferocious character of the war, and he had remonstrated against those acts of cruelty in quarters where he had influence. (Hear, hear.) Don Carlos, however, in spite of all remonstrances, persevered in his decree. He had not heard of the excesses which the noble marquis bad spoken of as having been committed-by the British legion, but would make inquiries into the subject. He could not say what might take place in the violence and excitement of warfare, but from what he had heard he believed those troops were entitled to praise instead of censure. He admitted, in the .most extensive sense, the great importance of establishing peace in Spain, and, above all, the importance of rendering her independent of any and every foreign power, and he thought that that result was likely to be produced by the conduct pursued by his Majesty's ministers. His lordship concluding by saying that he should offer no objection to the motion. The Earl of ABERDEEN expressed his dissent from the coarse pursued by government. He charged them with having carried their interference beyond the limits prescribed by the treaty, and declared his abhorrence of the murders in Spain. The motion was agreed to. R. Lord DENMAN prese M nted BUCKINGHAM a petition from Newport, Isle of Wight, praying that a compensation mi g ht b e grant e d t o M r . Buckingham for his l osses in India. L BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR ECCLESIASTICA brought COURTS in a bill for the consolida tion of ecclesiastical courts. Read a first time, and ordered to be printed.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--FRIDAY. Several petitions were presented and returns moved for. The former were laid on the table, and the latter ordered to be produced. THE POSTOFFIOE. Mr. WALLACE sai: l , that seeing one of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the Postoffice in his place, be wished to put two questions to him. He wished, in the first instance, to know whether anything had been done by that commission in the way of altering and improving the system of manage ment and the constitution of the Postoffice; in the next place, he wished to know whether or not there was any truth in the reports in the newspapers, as to certain irregularities in the Postoffice packet department, and whether it was likely that , the commissioners would soon present a report on the subject to the house ? Mr. LABOUCHERE said, he hoped the answer he was able to give to both those questions would be satisfactory. With re-:' gard to the first question, as to whether the commissioners had come to any resolminu or decision as to the propriety of re commending any chatie in the system of management of the Postoffice, such as ti:e substitution of some other officer in the HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. Captain Dundas took his seat for Devizes, in the room of Admiral Sir Philip. Durham. Some petitions were then presented, and some other business was disposed of. CARLOW ELECTIOII-CONDUCT OF. MR. O'CONNELL. Mr. H A RDY said he had a petition to present, upon a subject which involved a breach of the privileges of the house, and therefore, he believed, he was entitled to precedence of hon. members who had notices upon the papers. The petition to which he alluded contained a serious imputation upon the cha raker of a member of that house—namely, that he had been engaged in trafficking for a seat in the house. If the facts re ferred to in the petition respecting an election for the county of Carlow were true, which, however, he did not now state to be the case, there never was a subject more deserving of the most serious attention of the house. He purposed to bring forward the petition immediately, thinking it was most consistent with the dignity of the house to take it into consideration before any other business was proceeded with. Lord JOHN RUSSELL having no wisb to interpose between the hon. member for Bradford and the house, postponed the motions he intended making that night. Mr. Hums thought that the petition ought to be presented without any speech or statement respecting its merits; that it should be printed, and an early day fixed for dealing with it. Mr. WYNN said that the practise of the house, when a breach of privilege was complained was to hear of it forthwith. After the hon.member had presented the petition, the house might ad journ its consideration, or refer it to a committee of privileges or to a select committee. BauEN said he rose to present a petition from some of t/se freeholders of the county of Carlow complaining of tran sactions in which a member of the house was concerned. In eider to put the house in possession of the facts of the case he would state the substance of the petition. The petitioners stated that from var i ous s t a t e m en t s in letters lately published it appeared that an agreement or traffic for a seat in the House of Commons had been entered into between Daniel O'Connell, Esq., and Alexander Raphael. by which the former engaged to procure the return of the latter as a member of the house in consideration of two sums of £l,OOO each; that the said traffic or agreement was represented as a " safe speculation," and was carried into effect by both parties accordingly; that one sum of £l,OOO was paid on account, upon which a printed address, signed by Daniel O'Connell, Esq., was extensively circulated in the county of Carlow, recommending the freeholders to elect Alexander Raphael, Esq., who was then a total stranger to them; that after the return of the said Alex. Raphael, Esq., the second stun of £l,OOO was p a id t o J o h n O'Connell, Esq., on ac count and by desire of his father, Daniel O'Connell, Esq.; that a petition was presented to the House of Commons against the return of Alexander Raphael and N. Vigors, Esqrs.; and that the ballot for a committee upon that petition took place upon the same afternoon, on which the second sum of £l,OOO was paid to the said John O'Connell, Esq., for the use of his father, Daniel O'Connell, Esq. ; that after having so received the money, the said John O'Connell, Esq., did attend the ballot for the committee, was balloted as a member of the committee, suffered his name to remain on the list, as finally reduced, and was sworn at the table of the house " well and truly" to try the merits of the petition against the return of Alexander Raphael and N. Vigors, Esqrs., and to come to a - fair decision according to the evidence. The petitioners submitted to the house that these transactions were a plain violation of their rights as elec tors of the county of Carlow, no less than of the pri v il eges o f the House of Commons, and they therefore humbly prayed that the house would be pleased to enquire into the circumstances, and if they found the allegations proved, to take such steps as to them should seem meet. The hon. and gallant member then proceeded to observe, that, having performed his duty to his constituents by stating the contents of their petition to the house, he would abstain from making a single remark, because he well knew that the extreme sensitiveness of the house with respect to corrupt practices, would make them shrink with horror from the bare idea of such mosistrona proceeding" as the, petition referred to. (Cheers, and some cries of "Oh !" from the ministerial benches.) Hon. inerobeis: +rare naturally in clined as well as deeply pledged to the hquse and the country to eradicate all such abuses connected with the representation, and therefore he confidently placed the matter in their hands. (Hear, hear.) The petition was brought up, read at length by the clerk, and ordered to lie on th e table. Mr. O'CONNELL had no objection to inquiry. As far as he was concerned he did not complain—he scorned complaint— but he appealed to every man of good feeling in the house —to every father—whether it was right to introduce the name of Mr. John O'Connell (cries of " Yes, yes!") without giving him notice? (" Oh, oh!" and "Hear.") How could the hon. member, as a father, think of bringing forward any allegation against the integrity and honour of John O'Connell without giving notice of the charge? It was all otiing to the infernal spirit of party. Was he to be harrassed by imputations against —he blessed God for it—as pure a creature as ever breathed, the hon. member for Yougbal. (" O'h, oh!") The charge came from one who had depopulated villages ; the screams of the widows of the victims of his tyranny were still ringing in his ears; he would not for the world have such a nature as the hon. member who bad made an attack upon John O'Connell. (Hear.)—Mr. O'Connell's voice was drowned by the loud and indignant cries of " Chair, chair!" The SPEAKER interposed by telling Mr. O'Connell that he hoped he would see the necessity of moderating his expressions. Mr. O'C O NNELL then defended his pure son John from the charge of sitting on the Carlow committee, in which he had dis charged-his duty conscientiously. That he had been balloted on that committee was no act of his, as he only attended the house at the time in the execution of his duty. John O'Con nell's name had been introduced into the petition not to give it (the name) weight, but as the lead to sink it. It was not suffi cient to halloa on newspapers and public meetings (though in this his stock in trade was equal to nine-tenths of tha; possessed on the other side) to attack him; they must attack and distort the conduct of John O'Connell. But, God be blessed ! mother never had a more respectful son. (" Oh ! oh !") The dagger had been aimed at his heart, but it fell blunted on the shield of the honour and integrity of his loved, pure, and, except by false hood, unimpeached son, John O'Connell. (Cheers from the ministerial benches.) Colonel BRUEN said that the just .as true as the generality of accusations which proceeded from that quarter—(great cheer ing)—and would no doubt be received with the same degree of credit usually given to any assertions made by the hon. and learned member. (Loud continued cheering.) It was noto rious that three-fourths of those who voted at the Carlow elec tion for the gentleman whose return was petitioned against, voted against their inclinations, and under fear of the loss of their lives. (Cheers.) Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL anxiously courted a committee, and defied any one to prove mi scon d uct aga i nst him. He did not know whiit infernal machine was in store for him, he would see what was to be brought forward and act accordingly. Mr. HARDY then said that he had a petition to . present from the inhabitants and Mends of purity o f e l ect i on at Bath. After some observations Mr. H. proceeded to read the prayer of the petition :—" Your petitioners, anxious that the principles of re form should be fully and fairly carried into effect"—(laughter from the ministerial benches.) This seemed to be a subject which excited - the merriment of hon. gentlemen apposite. (Cheers from the oppositiou.) lie believed, however, that the petition came from the coinmittee and supporters of the hon. member for Bath. (Cheers and laughter.) " Your petitioners, anxious that the principles of reform should be fully and fairly carried into effect in all cases, and with respect to ail individuals, alike pray your honourable house to iuquire strictly into the Whole transactions, includi ng , t h 4 ,., 4oatanta ... o t.site-sesci unpub lished letter, and to take such measures a s your honourable louse in its wisdom may think fit for protecting the rights of parliamentary- electors,,and bri ng i ng bonae punishment to all persons:of whatever political party who may be guilty of vio ' theta ." .(Chears) h e Wh e e l , guilty , °fatly - want of courtesy in not presenting a co i p s Y h t e g and learned memb er, he was, ' be' blefortetisatiian to the hon. said, sorry for it; but, at the same time, his regret wow considerably diminished by reflecting that there was no person more able to grapple with the subitance of the charge, and defend himself from it, than that hon. and l earne d member. The petition was then read at length by the clerk. The subject having undeone further discussion, Mr. Hardy proposed that the petitions should be taken into consideration on Monday (yesterday.) Mr. O'CollivELL again rose to propose Tuesday, because he thought that, as far as he was concerned, theincluiry would be a mock, solemnity. (Oh, oh!) Lord Stanley might differ with him in opinion, but he (Mr. O'Connell) had no hesitation in Itaying that be considered the charge ridiculous. .He knew that he should not be acquitted by Lord Stanl e y; he snew the deli cacy of the noble lord'a enmity—(cheers)—he had experienced it already, but he would be on Tuesday ready to meet the charge. LORD STANLar was indifferent whether the business was brought forlard on Monday or Tuesday. He then said, whatever the lion. and learned member may be pleased to think of the delicacy, as ho calls it, of my enmity towards, him, signified here or elsewhere, I trust it will never lead me to take any step which shall he discreditable to my own feelings as a gentleman and a man of honour. / consider the hon. and learned mem ber's political career, and political position, to be one fraught with danger to the empire. Politically I have always opposed it, and I thank his candour when he told me, and it is a grati fication to me to hear his belief, that during the administration of Earl Grey I had essentially served to thwart his political schemes (cheers); .hut political e•rounds of hostility shallnever I lead me into personal enmity. never would sit upon such a committee as that which it is proposed to move, because I teluid mistrust my judgment. Nominated upon the commit , I would decline to sit upon it. I never will make an at tack upon the hon. and learned gentleman, and I never have done so, when he has been incapacitated from replying; but I am bound to say of the hon. and learned gentleman, if he re fers to me because I cheered his declaration, that he was always exempted from the charge of personal corruption, that what ever may be my opinion as to the justice of that charge, that that charge does hang over his head before the country, and that charge he must answer before this house and the country. Whatever application the hon. and learned gentleman might purpose to make of the mones which it is alleged he received, the allegation is that he did receive that sum of money, and "J aim The some ber o moue bad ai venis( troul • Engla Cumb numb culate subjec elon o , pire t 4 sueee Mr. Lor the a Sir I not coy be asto M r. but thi Mr. to be I iai ht Lord Which I tteteriol Sir:! from 111 Moti Dr. I day, br charges read a THE On S at the I Earls I Elleforr theme, several • C .
