Recollect none of them were paid as freemen, they were paid as workmen. The practice of giving workmen a holiday upon such occa sions, and paying them ss. each, may be a bad one ; hut there is no moral turpitude connected with it, and at all events if, as in the present case, the payment is not made on behalf of the candidates, it cannot be brought within the penal section of the act of Parliament. I now come to the case of Evans, the beerseller at the Old Oak, in the Tosteth Ward , who was deputed by Mr. B. Jones to pay ss. to each of his worhmen. What did Mr. 13, Jones say to Evans when he gave him his instructions ? He told him he had been always in the habit of giving his appren tices, blacksmiths, and sawyers, and every one in his employment a holid a y upon such an occasion as an election, and to pay them their wages. Well, that is not a case of Payment of head-money, but of payment of workmen by their master, in accordanne with the usual custom of his establishment. Of the aisty men by Evns on behalf of Mr. B. J ones, there were fifteen who did not belong to the establishment, but who were private friends of Evans'. Now, the explanation of this is, that Evans exc withouteede the sanction d his aathority — that he made payments to men or even knowled ge of Mr. Jones, and that 'What he did, therefore, tf B. fairly be brought aga i nst the sitting members or or any of their amts. 'Ent what course have my learned friends en the other side adopted ? Why, they have called the whole of the fifteen men who should t oot have receivedi payments, but they have not produced one of the other forty-'five who were paid as workmen. I appre hend that is ten-sharp practice. We now come to c l ass 3. the case of tudor and others, who are alleged to have been bribed by Rowe!, and Greene. Mr. Macaulay Snot-echo take it for granted that the committee would look upon:Rowett as an agent for the sitting members,e to but I venture to say that the committee wilt not I come 'any such conclusion. However that may be,submit 0 . that atria 3 does not come within the class of payment is head-renney. One of the witnesses under this class, it true, w did not d eny that he sold his ore, but he added that he went t o the poll chiefly for the purpose of setts not . hin g h imself as to w h et h er thero was ' beibery practised or It is remarkable, however, 'that all the other wit nesses gave a totally different account of the transaction. = iier all assure us that there was'no contract whatever for t he money their Votes; th a t they did not sell their votes; and that them as an i n d ucement for them-to vote in a certain way.

I have no hesita- Xying that Turner bas tortured an office of em .P.oYrnent into an act of bribery, and I think the committee will have no difficuity tu coming to the sameconclusion.

"The CHAIRMAN : With respect to that charge, also, the committee do not wish you to refer to it, es it has not at all been substantiated. Mr. JAMES. The committee has come to a wise and prudent decision. and I will only add, that election com mittees cannot be too scrupulously jealous inaeteing that acts of good nature and philanthropy are not distorted into acts of bribery and corruption. Mr. Macaulay taunted me with not herring put Mr. Turner into the witness-box. Now, in reply to that I have only to say, that land my learned friend beside me, as the-counsel for 101 r. Turner, have told him that, in our opinion, this is not a case in respect to which he - standc in any °ern, or one in which -he is required to give evidence. t now come to the case -of Mr. Grooby, the eccentric b andmaster, who is alleged to have been iiiribed by a inumber of the most respectable gentlemen in Liverpool. nasmuch as he had received £l5 for the- services of his band durin g the election, instead of £l2, the estimated ca rte. Now th ere or no coession to bribe MreCa'rooby, or, according to his own account, he is a: Protectionist th!indal Conservative, and Mr. Hatch told the committee at " -he c ounte d upon Ids .vote as securely as he did rhis own.

I think ;I have now gone through the whole of the evidence with regard too bribery. Let us see how -the evidence of -agency .tanda. The co mm it tee have already passed resolutions oeclaring Gleave, Hatch, Birchen, and—in a modified Sense Jones, t o h ave been authorised agents of the ei'eting members at the last election. do not wish to interfere with these resolutions, b-ut only to sla2w how the agency of authority be restricted authority on the part and modified on account of e-e of the gentlemen in euestio-n.egsla?' ~, , , thL r i e g a rd to the respect from was machinery' by which the n estl election conducted, it differed in material .res that used at elections in Landon, Maechester, and otl7emr towns. There was a Constitutional Association, largeenl played, if you please, for I won't euarrel about names, as a Central Coratnittee ; but according t o th e ev i dence of t Ir. Sherlock and others, it appears that, although that enniteittee consisted of about three heandred• members, y e t to all intents and purposes the whole business was ma taor, bY Messrs.

As to the evidence of treating, I may make an observation as to the amount of money actually proved to have been paid under thst head. Pycroft's bill was £4O, and £3O was raid ; Clegg's £l3, paid ; Hughes £l4, paid : W. Lawson £3O, not paid ;__ Marshall £24, run paid ; Bridge, £ll •Ss. ld. ; Evan Jones. £l4, Paid :; - Lancaster, Thus there has been 477 paid in this mighty case of treating in a constituency of 16.000, and bills existing for 196. And what is the general character of the trating ? In order to connect the members with it, and to e unseat berg £.l, paid. thenl, it must be shown to have been given by the mem acco:ding to the act William IV. "in order to be elected ;"' and this had been flecideCl in the case of _a 1831, in rughes and Marshall (tried in the Court of Exchequer) which the member was declared not to be nnseated, as the treating, though supplied at the rilense of .the candidate was not given in order .to nfittence the election. If' that he the legal construction of th e hog it net, as I apprehend it is, ir• ° W It bears on thepresent case. Th© act of 5 and • ict., b..ou„ht t in by ,od J.

But it is clear that Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie did not owe their seats to the corruption and treating which it was said has been so extensive among the freemen, for they had a majority of the hou se h o ld constituency, It is clear that Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie went to Liverpool with no object to bribe, no object to corrupt. You have not ventured to mi s t upon e v id ence t h at t h ey have expen d e d money wh i ch might be deemed to be with the knowledge of corrupt Practices, or which was for corrupt practices. They went there to vindicate a great political principle in the representatiOn of one of the largest constituencies of the kingdom. And if, in the result, the com mittee should hold them, by a strict construction of the law, responsible for the acts of over zealous partizans, they will have this satisfaction, that the attempt to prove the existence of extensive corrupt practices at the election on their part has signally failed, and that they themselves may leave this inquiry with a political character un tarnished and a personal honour unstained. Mr. James concluded his speech at ten minutes past three. The room was then cleared for the committee to deliberate. After the doors had been closed five minutes, parties were recalled, when COLONIAL CHUItCHAND SCHOOL LOCAL SOCIETY. A public meeting was held last night in the Collegiate Institution, in aid of the funds of the Colonial Church and School Society. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended. Among the gentlemen on the platform we noticed the Rev. Dr. M'Neile, the Ven. the Archdeacon Davies, of Melbourne, the Rev. T. R Birks, and the Rev. M. M. Dillon, the deputation •, also the Recs. W. Rawson, W. M.Falloon, H. Jones, W. Pollock, H. Hampton, F. Ould, W. Brewster, D. Barry, W. H. Wright, S. Minton, F. Parry, W. 0. Powell, W. Wallace, J. Bardslev, H. Car penter, W. Read, and Mesers. T. D. Anderson, W. Jones, M. C. Jones, J. Eden, &c., &c. On the motion of the Rv. FIELDING OULD, the Rev. Dr. M'Neile was unanimously called to the chair. The meeting having been opened with prayer, The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting as follows : My Christian friends, you ere aware that the object of this meeting is to commend to your favourable consideration, and thereupon to your cordial and liberal support, the Colonial Church and School Society. The object of that society, as stated in their printed prospectus, is " to make known the Gospel of Christ by sending clergymen, cate chists, and schoolmasters to our fellow-subjects in the colonies and foreign lands. If there be a place in the United Kingdom, where the Colonial Church Society might fairly urge a claim, and expect to excite a peculiar interest, that place is Liverpool. The progress and pros perity of our colonies act in a direct and peculiar manner on the progress and prosperity of our great and growing town. The trade of Liverpool, now co-extensive with, I believe I might say more extensive than, that of even London itself, brings us into immediate connexion with our colonies, not only by the perpetual passi ng t o an d f ro of our ships, but also by the establishment of branch houses of business, correspondence, and by the resi dence at the larger colonial ports of the junior con flexions of some of our most extensive and longest established firms. If England be with propriety called the mother country with reference to our colonies, Liverpool may be called the eldest son engaged in the home busines, while the younger sons are gone all over the world. It is a very hopeful family altogether, stamp ing the impress of its nationality on a large portion of the globe. (Hear, hear.) In this we glory For this _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN said the committee, in order to give them time to consider the evidence, bad determined upon adjourning till this day at half-past twelve. HALF-YEARLY EXAMINATION AT THE CORPORATION SOUTH SCHOOLS. Yesterday . forenoon the half-yearly examination of the chil dren attending the Corporation South Schools took place in the upper school —room, Park-lane, in the presence of a nume— rous company of ladies and gentlemen. The Mayor, who had promised to preside on the occasion, arrived at the schools, accompanied by his family, shortly !Aire the appointed hour. Amongst those present we noticed Mr. Alderman Molyneux, chairman of the school committee, Mr. Councillor Wagstaff, a member of the committee, the Rev. J. Monk, the Rev. Mr. nowman, curate of St. Saviour's Church, &c., &e. We were also glad to see present a large number of the parents of the children attending the schools. On arriving at - the schools his Worship proceeded to the infant school. where the examination of the children was conducted by the mistress and her assistants. The children were examined in the Scripture history of the New Testament, also in 'Geography, including the Trreduetions of the different countries on the continent of Europe. They also gave ready and exceedingly correct answers to questions concerning the people•of the different countries, and what they were remarkable for. Their examination on the History•of England was equally satisfactory. The proceedings in the infant school having been concluded, • • His Wowanap addressed the little children in encouraging and affectionate 'terms, and then said, as there weremodoubt many parents of these children present, he would take the opportunity of saying a few words to them. In the present day there were great advantages offered in comparison with what there were thirty years ago, for the education of the young; and, 'as parents and mothers, he would wish 'to point out to them - the great advantages they possessed for having their children taught. But it was in vain for the masters and mistresses to pay attention to the education of the children, if parerits`themselves did nct aid them by their exertions and the 'example they set at home. They would'remember that, when 'Moses was taken rut of the river, the daughter of Pharwili said to the woman, "take this child, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages ;" and she took it accord ingly"; and he (the Mayor) wished 'to inform Kie mothers pre •serit that their duties as mothers did not altogether consist in 'washing the hands of their children, and providing them with food and with shelter, but that to nurse a' clind as tney ought to de, was to remember that their children were given to them by 'God, and that they were to teach them and train them in the ways of God. When we know how much more the training of a child depended on its mother than on its father, it was the especial "dtity of mothers to watch over fir it Children. We well know 'that many of the men that adorned 'this country had been in debted to the early training of a mother for their position in life; and it might be the tase'll ith• regard to several of the chil dren now receiving their education in these schools, if the mothers would aid the conductors of th e sc h oo l s , in seCting,an example to their children at liorne, that when they were old they might not depart from it. It might be, that by showing such a regard for their children,'they would be the means - of so training up their children as - to become not only a blessing and an honour to themselves' in this world, but would also be the means of their receiving a crown of jewels hereafter. •Brit it was often a pain to him to see, that whilst children were taught in school to keep' the Sabbath-day holy, they found oil going to their homes that the Sabbath-day was not kept holy. In manv cases ' instead Of good examples being set them, th e y found themselves witnesses of intemperance and unthastity at home. A great responsibility, therefore, rested on parents, to see that the education their - children received at school should not be hindered in-its effects at borne. After - some fur ther remarks, his worsh437proceeded to the upper schoolroom, where the general examination of the boys and girls' took Place. After the children bad gone through various exercises in Scripture history, descriptive geography, history, and other' studies, they were examined by the Rev. Mr. Bowman,- curate of St. Savicrar's*church, and the answers they -gave elicited much satisfaction, and reflected great credit on the masters. and mistresses. The MAYOR then addressed the children, observing that it was a very pleasant part of his duty as Mayor Of Liverpool to come to the school, and witness the improvement amongst the pupils which was so apparent on the present occasion. He had reason to hope that the improvement would --still . continue. They must .. .all of Them be aware of the advantages of a good education, and of the - privileges they possessed in this respect to a much greater extent than any oilier countr7 on the face of the earth. Those privileges, however, carried with them cor responding-duties on Their part. His worship then pointed out the great advantages which an educated person possessed over one that was uneducated, and next urged the vast importance of combining a sound religious along with a secular education. If they imparted tolhe youth of the schools-secillar education alone, they would 'not be doing that whitili was necessary. i p n e rs t o h n e s F f r h a e n r c e e, r. a ' m er o e ng llu z 7n o, be er r n s at o io r ns e , d l t l t a c d ate n d ian s y inn su e c rs h in the last generation, and they did more mischief than all the people put together. In education they should combine that which telongedto.eartn , a - ith that which belonged to heaven, and is imparting secular knowledge, never forget the reverence which was due to'Gcd. His Worship next referred to three prizes which he offered last half-year to the pupils who should re spectively produce the best essay on Holy - Scripture, on bio graphy, and on history. The reason he offered the prizes was for the purpose -of carrying out this principle of combining spiritual with scalar knowledge. The speaker dwelt for some time on the-wonderful ability which the three successful com petitors; for thesevrizes had displayed, more particularly the writer of the essay on the Holy Scriptisres. Andrew Robertson was then called forward to receive the prize for the best essay on the "inspiration and importance of the tioly •C.Criptures." The MAYOR, in awarding the prize, paid' Robertson a well deserved compliment. He said that he evidently possessed a great amount of biblic a l k now l edge, having read well. He hoped that he-would persevere in the pursuit of knowledge, and he did net think it unlikely that lie (the Mayor) might one day seehim a respected minister of the Church of England. Charles Dorringer was next called forward to receive the prize for the beet essay on Geography, The Marron,' in handing him the prize,- said the essay diti him great credit. He hoped that he would , , pursue the study of this important branch of education,—not, however, in a spirit of pride s bat in connexion with his other studies. William Russell was next called to receive the prize for the best essay on History. The Mn;-au, addressing Russell, said the essay was unques tionably the best which had been presented to him. He was sorry to confess that the best essays were from the boys. He should have liked some of them to have come from the girls. There was, however, one which had been written by one of the girls named Mary 'Botham, which was so-corret-Aly written that lie (the Mayor) had deemed it right to add a fourth prize. The girl Mary Botham was then broughtforWard, and received the prize. rom' his 'Worship. Mr. Alderman. PINLY NEUX, chairman of the school, proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor, for his attendance to take part in the proceedings, as also for the encouragement his worship had given to tltc.priiils by offering the prizes. Mr. Councillor W.I.s.:STAFF seconded the •mction, which was passed amidst loud cheering. The Mavoa•having returned thanks, the proceedings were brought to a close.by the singing of the natioaal.acthein. We unde , standthat the number of children at present in the schools is 450 boys; 30e girls, and 280 in the infant school. THE HADDINcrrow arrived at Southampton, on Friday, with the Mediterranean and the Levant mails, During the voyage two of the passengers fell overhoad and were drowned. THE CHERQKEE, tie first vessel that ever, , came into Liverpool from the interior of Canada, arrived at this port on Thursday last. She is a lake-Luilt vessel, and iG rather novel in her appearance and rig, combining the barque and the schooner, and having three masts. The Cherokee was built at Kingston..en Lake Ontario.

INTERESTING FACT.--The following singular and authentic case of restoration of the human hair is worthy of observation. more particulark- as it relates to an article of high and universal repute during the last half century. Mr. A. Herrmann, of Queen-street, Soho, had been quite bald for some time past, and had tried various preparations for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial result. He was then induced to try the effects of " Rowlands' Macassar Oil," and, after daily applying it for about two months, he, much to his gratification, had his hair quite restored, and now possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require comment.—Bell's Weekly Messenger.
