" It was strange and sad," he observed, " to find that the majority of the prisoners were women." And so, undoubtedly, it i 3. The reason why, might well engage the Consideration of the magistracy. THE Times has at length discovered the salient point in the recent Election investigations.

He had on the not taken his seat trength of his second election, and the Government were spared the further ineumbrance of a corrupt and purchased vote But the Times very magnanimously endorses the decision of the House, and considers the settlement of the question, though attended with such inconveniences as affect all human arrangements, the best under the eireum- stances location Lethc The West India Mail arrived at Southampton yes terday.

These, and one or two other platitudes' compose the well-weighed lesson which our great political preceptor has prepared for our lasting behoof. And truly a very pretty piece of a medio crity, not without its cunning, has been achieved The Times has extracted the essence. Let England be satisfied, and not pry any further into the chemical ingredients of the combination. Having culled the moral, let her settle into dignified unconsciousness, and, with the Times, pooh-pooh the underlying fact as already disposed of, and denuded of their brief significance Let her put the rest into her pipe, and Smoke it off into the oblivion it is fitted for. In a week the session will be closed, the judges have left their - seats, the tribunals be broken up. Let England carry with her into the country no skeleton frbm the Committee-room ; no monitor crying out on the moors and at watering-places, in the midst of . rural seclusion and social reunions, end Remember the latter )f last Parliament ! Remember Norwich and its twice-elected Bury ! Remember Wakefield and the tainted brother-in-law of the Virtuous Repub lican!" Remember Dartmouth and its gallant Captain, with his Sebastopol courage, and his short memory ; who drained the bank of money, and forgot that he had drawn a farthing till the opposing counsel reminded him ; poured his gold through certain well-recognised sieves, but knew not where the final deposit found its bottom, till the recorded numbers of the notes revealed the place of their Above all ; Remember, Oh never forget Gloucester! with its agent from the head quarters of Liberalism, who was obliged to drag the Reform Club into his confession, and received his mission from the central abode of purity room of Lord JOHN RUSSELL !" Let us carry no such bugbear as this to disturb the peace of the proroga- the committee- tion. Let us laugh it off, or cry it off at once, or stamp it into oblivion, or shame it by our ridicule and jeers, or frighten it by our affectation of insensi- bility and don't irishness Llt all hazards, let the Spectre be laid, and let us have a draught of Times' Leaving the newspaper, which is very often a useful public censor, when censure would not peach his own credit; it is curious to turn to the sensitive appreciations of Mr. BRIGHT, whose family reputation has been touched by the recent disclo- This gentleman, with all his ignorance of constitutional, or any other, history, and all the ices which are the fruits of is .norahce, aiTo. gates to be the exponent of republican virtue we said, he is, even personally, concerned in what has almost assumed the proportions of a conspiracy, formed in the highest quarters, for the electoral -con quest of England by corruption. What a pang for the sensitive virtue of a republican ! This foul stain rests, as we before remarked, upon the democratic element in the Constitution. How cutting to the appreciations of the denfocrat ! What can he do to remove the stain ? This. He can try to associate the aristocratic element in• the partnership of evil. He can spend his energies on , that lofty achieve- ment of chemical logic which makes one white out of two blacks.

It is a fact 'that the fellow- feeling which has made Mr, BRIGHT sensitive f 421 ROEBUCK the fate of his dismissed brother-in-law, has only prompted him to oppose every effort to mark the House's sense of the recent insults which Wake field and other places have showered upon it.

He has nothing to answer to Mr. ROEBUCK'S just indignation, but a suspicion that the whole political system of England is a con federacy of corruption. He has not an accent of sorrow, not a word of confession, not an admission of injustice, in the exclusive arrogation of political virtue to himself and his party, and the imputation of an exclusive patrimony of evil to his opponents. Whether daily experience is secretly correcting his views of democratic virtue, and dashing his glowing picture with a black patch of history, whose lessons are again renewed, we neither know nor care. What we do know is, what we do care for is, that the lesson is not lost upon England; that she will reject the cup which the Times proffers her, and will not drink the Lethean draught. ___.__,- THE Bribery and Corruption, by means of which, 'at the late General Election, it is now clearly proved the majority which upset Lord DERBY'S Govern- meat was obtained, may not unreasonably be con sidered one of the most important ,subjects of the day. It is, at all times, of very great consequenct. that the returns to the House of Commons, whether by one party or the other, should not be effected by any improper means, whether it be intimidation, or bribery, or corruption, of any kind,—and we include intimidation in our estimate of what is corrupt. It is essential to the due and efficient working of our representative system, that clandestine-devices should not be allowed to succeed. The interests of the people would never be safe if their representatives, or those who gain admission into the House of Coin-, mons as such, were enabled to gain such admission in a corrupt and illegitimate way. Purity, in such a case, is most indispensable. There are legitimate influences which it is for the public good should have their proper effect ; and it is because these influences, so beneficial in the cause of truth and justice, would be, apt to be subverted, that we object to so under hand an expedient as that of the Ballot. What we want, in such proceedings as those of our elections , of Members of Parliament is, that first, and above all things, they shall be done in the ,light of day. For, we may depend upon it, that in this, as in everything else, the divinely enunciated principle will apply, that " men love darkness rather " than light, because their deeds are era." The Ballot is a dark contrivance—it shuts out the light —it is a stratagem of secresy, They who would .act by means of it shun the light, that they may do what they list—be it never so evil—without observa tion, and, as they hope, without detection.. It is'sa with Bribery and Corruption. To succeed . at all, 'it, too, must be done secretly, and in the dark. They are all dark deeds together : they may differ in their shades of darkness ; but they all belong, more 'or less, to the dark—they will not bear the light. of day. The prevalence of such deeds of darkness at the late Elections, which the inquiries before Committees of the House of Commons continue to disclose, make it more than ever important that our representative system should not be exposed to those corrupt in fluences which can seldom be successfully exerted in the light of . day. And it is a remarkable fact, in connection with the dark deeds which are . ,now in course of detection, that in almost every instance they who have done them were strenuous advocates of the secret Ballot. Thus it is shown, that it is the principle of secresy which they consider it necessary to pursue in order. to gain their political ends ; and there is no doubt, that under the secret operation of the Ballot, they would be able to do in the dark deeds which might vitiate and pervert our whole . Constitutional system. Bribery, to escape detection, must be a secret thing,—corruption, of every kind, to avoid discovery, must be practised in secret ; and the secret Ballot, it is evident, is near akin, in principle, to all those corrupt methods to which the Liberals have had such wholesale recourse, in order to gain that temporary ascendancy which they have got, in the present session, in the Commons House of Parliament. So sensible have they now become, it would seem, of the disgrace which has thus been contracted, that they are beginning to try and Avoid inquiry. The Bodmin Election ease is a remarkable instance of this, as it was brought before the House of Commons, on - Thursday night, by Mr. "It had come to his, knowledge," he declared, " that the :member for Bodmin (Dr. " MicriELL), being charged with bribery and cor: " ruptiou, had agreed to the following compromise : " That he should, at the end of the session, retire " from his seat in that House ; that lie should there upon apply for and receive the Chiltern Hundreds ; " and that, in consideration of his so doing, the "persons presenting the petition should withdraiw " it." Well might Mr. ETORMICI avow, that if the House bf Commons desire to govern the country, they must vindicate their character, which, it could ,not be denied, had been sullied in no slight agree of late, by the abominable scenes Which had , been exposed in the Election, Committees. But if honourable members are allowed to retire by such a course as that of the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds, as a comporaise, and, thereby, to cast a veil over the misdeeds of wtiich, by that very proceeding, there is, if not privies. fade evidence, at least a strong suSpicion that they have y been guilty, the character. o f the House of Commons cannot possibl via .L i ca ted, but must suffer very seriously i n th e es t; .mation o f the count r y. Mr. ROEBUCK had, goo?, grou nd, therefore, for the motio n which he s u b n ii' Aed to the House, namely :—" Th a t, "inthe *lli' on of " t his House, any Minister Wcalld " bP guilty of a breach of t h e p rivile g es o f this House Wh° 613 ‘ Auld a d v ise tho Crown to confpk. , the stelytg4. "ship of the Chiltern Hundreds upon any person " charged with corrupt practices at an election, and. "who, for the purpose of evading the jurisdiction of " the Home, had entered into an agreement to vacate "his seat on the presentation of a petition charging " him with corrupt practices." No,—there must be no such door of escape as this allowed to be opened for members who may have been returned to Parlia ment by such discreditable practices as are now being exposed, be they Liberals or Conservatives ; and the country, we think, is indebted to the honourable and learned member for Sheffield, for having brought the subject thus prominently and tangibly before Parliament. Under the present circumstances of parties in Par liament, it is especially most essential to the sacred cause of the Constitution, that the mischievous results of those corrupt practices, at the hanis of the Liberals, should, if possible, be defeated There is no doubt, as we have already shown, that, but for such practices, the Constitutional feeling of the country might have found an expression in the new Parliament, which would have maintained in power the Ministry that was proceeding to carry on the work of Conservative progress with so much advan tage, because with so much safety, as well as effi ciency, to the great interests of the people. The country, therefore, has sustained no slight injury in this respect through the course that has been pur sued That course resulted in the infliction of a heavy blow and great discouragement upon those Constitutional principles which were beginning to gain so satisfactory an ascendancy. throughout the kingdom, and the paramount influence of which, we are thoroughly convinced, is indispensable to the maintenance of that system of legislation and go vernment, under which England has become the greatest country in the world. NOTES OF' THE DAY, Many of our readers, perhaps, do not know much about the Endowed Schools Bill, which Mr. Dillwyn has been attempting to push through' the Rouse of Commons. - Let us inform them, then, that, in one word, it is a measure which aims at putting aside the just and legitimate control of the Church of England over those endowed schools which were founded by Churchmen, wherever it cannot be shown that it was not expressly ordered that the education should be of a church character. The fact was.to be quite ignored, that the founders were Churchmen, and that, therefore, they took it for granted, 'since their endowments were placed in the hands of Churchmen, that they would continue to lie applied by thein.. The modus operandi to be employed, to effect the object . in view, is to get Dissen ters .made trustees, to the' eXciusion of Churchmen, who have hitherto been considered the proper persons to carry out the intentions of the founders, being themselves Church men. A select committee of the. hi:4w, however, have so far interfered with Mr. Diliwyn's design by modifying his bill, that the honourable member has withdrawn it, under a strong protest against such interference. Lord Palmerston's organ, the Horning Post, would deal witli the Pope very tenderly, as - respects his temporal go vernment. "It will," says our contemporary, "be for the enlightened powers of Europe to distinguish between the spiritual and secular interests of the See, between the func tions which Roman Catholics believe to be inherent in the Pope, and those which have• devolved upon him by accident, or have been assumed by encroachment." Of course it will. But then the Holy See know no such distinction between spiritual and secular interests as are here referred to. Roman Catholics are not permitted to have any opinion upon the question of the Pope's functions. His Holiness is infallible. His dictum is therefore indisputable. He is "Christ's Vicar upon earth." And the. earth is his, as such, and all that are thereon whom, he can draw within the scope of his influence. Any attempt, therefore, to distinguish between. the spiritual and secular, will receive no encouragement in the. Vatican. The utmost that can be hoped for is, that a virtue may be made of 'a necessity. It is gratifying to find that a bill is likely to pass, this session of Parliament, for improving the dwellings of the labouring classes in Ireland. This is a subject which has been too long neglected in that country. There is, pe.r haps, no civilised land where the dwellings of the labouring poor are more wretched than are those of the Irish peasantry; and of its demoralising effects there have been but too many instances put on record, and there is still, we believe, too much evidence in the state of Irish society to allow of its being questioned for a moment. Let us hope, then, that this will prove to be another important stepiin the progress of improvement in Ireland. The business of the session of Parliament, it seems, is drawing rapidly tea close ; as it is high time that it did, The summer will soon be over.; and noble peers, and honourable commoners, have but little time left to enjoy its pleasures and. recreations. Still, there-is much of very important interest to the country that ought to be attended to, by right, before Parliament is prorogued. But not only is there no chance of this being done at present, but it would scarcely,lie reason— able to expect it. So. much time has been wasted by those faction fights, by which the present Ministers havesucceeded in returning to office, that many pressing public matters must be postponed until next s€ssion. The idea.of having a session late , in the autumn has not lately been .alluded to ; and we suppose that Ministers have no wish. to earry it into effect. The Matting Herald has very forcibly shown,.that it is really and truly because the Honourable Member for.Taun ton (Mr. Labouchere) had generously waived his, claim to a seat in. Lord . Panerston's motley; Cabinet; that he has re ceived a peerage. as a recompense. "*along Whigs," as our able contemporary well observes, " are sure to, obtain their. guerdon one way or another." If. aPrime.Minister ennot take more than sixteen into the happy &roily, of Which, his. Cabinet is composed, he haxsomethingin reserve with. which to: appease the discontented; Upon. this princi ple Mr: Smith and Sir B. Hall achieved the great object of their lives They were humble when. humility was valu able, so greatness was thrust upon them, Like Richard 111., they may; have coyly refused the• proffered honour, or at least assumed a virtue if they hadi it not.. To their friends in the charmed circle each of the. newly-cnno4led may, witk hypo4citical smiles, have said . " Cousin of Tiverton, and sage grave men,— Since you will buckle fortune on uky back. To bear her burden, whether I wilt or no, I must have patience to,enduro the load : But if black scandal or:, foul-faced. reproach Attend the sequel es your imposition, Your mere enforcement shall acquittance me From all the impure blots and stains thereof ; For Gad doth know., and you may partly see, How far I am A•enn, the desire of this." It is only a Whig-Radical Government that dare sport in this way with constitutional privileges.. It is by pandering to perverted popular passions that they are able to silence angry assailants.: But there can be no doubt whatoirer that, " were a Conskrvatiive Ministry to attempt anything- half so attroeious, 'a shout of virtuous indignation would he at once raised." 12Tedto. the .' the Stock mmenced s charge tention to leled fact," TO ADVERTISERS.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6,' 1859. THE DAY'S NEWS In the House of Lords yesterdat there wa conversation respecting National Education land, in t that there system, b; on the subject. The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill passed a third reading. In, the House of ,Commons, at the early sitting, in the voting of the supplies, including a vote for what we may term the " sea militia," Lord C. Paget explained the objects of this force. It was intended that 30,000 men should be enrolled for service in the navy, for five years, .to be ready when called upon, each volunteer to receive £5 bounty and £5 a-year during the five years; to go into training twenty-eight days out of the year. A bill was introduced for this object, but the discussion was brought to an end by the house adjourning. In the evening the breach of privilege case, in which Dr. Michell, the present member for Bodmin, was charged by Mr. Roebuck with having entered into an arrangement to vacate his seat at the end of the present session, if those who had petitioned against his return wonld abandon their proceedings was proceeded with. It was moved by Mr. Roebuck that it would be a breach of privilege if any member of the House should accpt the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, or any. other office to disqualify him.from sitting in parlia ment, when any such imputation as, that alleged ,by Dr. Michell was uninvestigated. The resolution was negatived by a large majority: - We publish late news from India this morning. It will be seen that it is rather important. The recruits at Barrackpore had taken their discharge, and the sth Europeans; at Berhampore, had returned to duty, with a few exceptions. The rebels ,at Nepaul had been making their appearance on the frontiers, and nearly 100 of them had been killed. The second edition of the Times has a letter from its Bombay correspondent. Speaking of the Governor- General's order as to the English troops, he writes : —" The sth European Regiment, stationed at Ber hampore, are, by a sort of postcript attached to the General Order, excluded from its operation, until its conduct, which has only recently come to the knowledge of Government, shall have been inquired into and reported upon. If rumour is to be relied on, the behaviour of this regiment has been disgraceful. The men, with the exception of 160 of them, are said to be in open mutiny, and to have intrenched themselves in the barracks; and to have elected their own officers, and forcibly removed the ammunition and powder from the hospital, where it had been lodged by the magistrate, in order to be beyond their reach. A detachment of Artillery, and of her Majesty's 99th Foot, and of the Buff's, has been sent from Calcutta to Berhampore. Of the rebels and their sundry remnants .I have heard no news from any part of India. Sir Hope Grant's despatch had been published, which details his last action at-Jerwah Pass - with a body of rebels under the Nana and Bala Rao. The loss inflicted upon the enemy was not great, but their flight was precipitous, and continued for many days, and until, it is said, they had placed the second range of hills between them and - the British. In concluding,; his despatch, the General states that he ' considers there is no probability of the rebels attempting to re-enter Oude this season.' ie course of wt Ise to rodlice a bi The news from the Continent does not possess much importance this morning. The Governor of Lombardy has published a decree, declaring that none of the property of the Jesuits now under sequestra tion can be mortgaged until further orders. The Independence Beige states that the French Government has definitely resolved to employ in works of public utility the 150,000,000 francs which remains unexpended of the loan of 500,000,000. The money was borrowed for the war in Italy. This war has ended ; but the people of France are not satisfied at the denouement of Louis Napoleon's campaign on the banks of the Mincio. We are rather afraid that the lenders of the money will not be pleased. at the rather off-hand manner in which the " Emperor of the French" disposes of their investments. The Vienna Gazette contains ministerial ordinances revoking the restrictions which were imposed on commerce and navigation on account of the war with France. They, however, maintain for the present the interdiction to export horses and mules. Although this seems a very trifling matter, it shows how the wind blows. Austria is evidently not satisfied that peace has been restored to Europe, and she keeps her horses and mules for an emergency. How is it, now that disarmament is all the rage, that we do not hear of any reduction in the Austrian army P The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says, "it is expected that the Moniteur will, in a day or two, publish a note in reference to the French Con ference which' will confirm the lately announced pacific disposition of the French Government." The official journal of Lombardy denies the reports published by certain papers as to the object of the mission of Count Reisef, and states that the French diplomatic agent has received instructions from his government, which are favourable to the wishes of Italy.
