IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY.
The Speiker took the chair at twelve o'chicic.
The second reading of' the Conveyance of 'Voters Bill was
rtioxed by Mr. Collier. The object of the bilt ie to prohibit the
payniertt of expenses of the conveyance of voters to the poll.
Mr. Dixwn.to,i4E said, that thesbill would practically dis-
franchise a large number of non.reeident voters, who generally
were of the most independent and conscientious class. He
moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time
that day six months.
Sir G. C: Lawn protested that the bill.should be referred to the
Select Committee on Corrupt Practices at Elcetions, to defer
the-discussion till the committee had- mad. itareport- With
regard to the principle of the bilhhe thought it involved many
inconveniences.
Mr. nxiv4/ liktwise thought that tte•bill onyht, to be post-
poned till the report of the committee was forthcoming, and
moved thar the debate be adjourned.
Mr. NEWDEGATE having withdrawn his amendment, some
discussion took place as tomhether-the bill should be read a
second time previously to it being referred to a select com-
mittee., t w f f

Ultitnately, on a division, the motion for' adjournment was
carried by 94 to 31 ; majority, 13.
The bill was then adjourned for a month:
Mr. MURRAY moved the second reading of the Attornies,
Solicitors, Proctors, and Certificated-Conveyancers Bill, which
had (wale dciwn from the Lords. Its object was to provide
that brridliaiiiklhe Wniversitlei should be iubnitted na'sblici-
tors after three years' service, instead of four; and that manag-
ing clerks, who had duringlen yerinf aotc,cl to the satisfaction
of employers, should be admitted as attornies after a service,
under articles, of three years.
Mr. KNIGHT inoved,fa's an amendment, that the bill be read
a second time that day six months. It gave undue powers to
tliehleOrporated-law-Society, and practically-repealed-the act
by which practising solicitors were ;prohibited from acting as
jitstices of the peace. ,He had no objection, to; the e4ucational
elastics, .but these' were embodied in anothei• bit' ten before
the other Hdtuk.
Mr. Locke and Mr. B. dames opposed the bill, as directed
simply to promote • the interests of the Incorporated ,Law
Society, from which it emanated.
Mr. M. antrn defended the Law Society, whose proceedings
entitled it to the confidence of the public. It had been intro•
ducted into the other House by the Lord Chancellor. It-would
increase the' respectability of the profession, and contained
enough good to deserve to be read a second time.
Mr. B. OSHORNE opposed the bill, thinking that 'it would be
difficult to improve it into a good measure.: T
Mr. M. MiLts admitted that there were objectionable clauses,
but thought that the measure would raise the Character of the
profession, and ought to be properly considered.

Mr. Lowe observed that all the important clauses in the
bill were contained'in a bill sent Up frOm the Commons to the
Upper House. The Lords hung up that bill, but franked the
present containing, word for word almost, the clauses % the
Commons; bill, with the addition of some objectionable clauses
of their own.

Mr. Boyar, advocated the measure which was sanctioned
by the Lords, and :might be considered as their bill. It con-
tained many valuable provisions; as the public was interested
in the high standard Of the education of their legal advisers.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL would' give hig 'consent the
second reading of the bill, believing that it caild be amended
in committee.

Mr. Havrizam- objected to entrust
_the Incorpcirated Law
Society with the large powers gireli it by the bill. •
Mr. S..EST.COVRT recommended the House to adhere to the
bill sent up from that House.
Mr. DziotArr supported the second .reading, as the bill con-
tained too much good to be se mmarily rejected. ,
Mr. HENLEY, without expressing an opinion •as to the;
machinery of the bill, supported the ecoad reading, admitting:
that there was much which ought to be modified.in cruirlittee.l
On a division, the amendment was negatived by 191 to 29.
The bill was then read a second time.
Mr. T. DuxcamsE moved the second reading of the JeWsAct
Amendment Bill.

Mr. NrwszoarE moved that the bill be read a second time
that day six months, as a breach of th'e engagement entered,
into between the two Houses of Parliament.
Mr. CONINGRAM protested againt *the-
aiinygenient made
'tw"o years ago being considered as a final settlement of: the
question.

Mr. T. Draccossiss ridiculed the roundabout way under Which
a Jew was now admitted to Parliament under resolution;
which it was the object of this bill to repeal. The question
was now altered, by the elections which had taken place, from
the position in which it was when the arrangement was made.
Mr. Kiiiskau,sy characterised the present arrangement
.under which the Jews were admitted as• ungracious and un-
generous ; but he did not think it was worth while to bring
the two :Mouses into practical collision,: and. to, reopen this
• vexed gdestioh.
: Mr. HENLEY agreed with this last opinion. The bill further
established an incoveniefit distinction between the practices: of
the two Houses.

One division, the second reading was carried by 117 to 75.
The other business was then disposed of, and
Thaliouse adjourned at six o'clock.

- obarvations, together with the Minute's of the evidence
taken'befere %tin, 'have considered the'matters to then
referred,'itid agreedsto the following report :
' -I'. That, at the outset of this _inqinry, it was estali=
lit.ked in evidt-nee- that' the loss 'of 'chain -cables by
.partilgland-of authors by breaking, is of Tare oeeur-
-Tenhe in her Majesty's navy; and that this appears to
Ode from their haVing been subjected to a sufficient
testi before they are received from the contractors, and
alsb from their being thoroughly examined, and in
may cases.re-iested when returned into store, or before
they are again Issued for service.
. That.a4,7arie of witnesses, chain-makers, ship-,
owners, engineers, and persons conversant with ship,•
pilig, examined before the eommittee, concur in the,
opinionthat it is highly:eipedient that chain cables and

6. That: from the evidence of all the witnesses ex-
memined; your committee- has formed th, opinion. that
' nothing rbut.,,the use 'of proper testing atachines can
:afford any -guarantee for tos'Olindness of cihles or
anchors, as defects they exist, either, from bad iess of
material -6i- Imperfect 'welding, whiCh no napection can

be ealculatedi that chains may be made b bear a given

rWe learn from ,the St. t.,:,? Aoheer, of lklarch. the

Friday the 23rd. The crime alleged against her Was

secure her acquittal, but without _effect. She edcated

paramour. At the scaffold the following scene ,occurred
in the presence of a hundred persons, among wboni were
a number of 'Diebtali or Sidux Indians,r whop had- coma
to witness this' abibitioif ofThtistian civilisation.
When the prisoner arrived upon the platform she was
led forward and kneeling tipon the drop; the clergy,
jailer, and Sisteri of Charity, and ' other ladies, in the
same posture round. her. •,Alacut five minutes were
then spent -in reading, prayers by the c-lergY,,iii which
sheiseemed to take a deep interest. Upon. rish The
was asked if she hail.at,thintritti !Isl. She said
6 I 'die,ivith4tlenaving had any, mercy shown me, or
justice.:. I die for the. good ,of my soul, .aid.not for:
murder.
M.f,ty you all profit by my death. YOU COUris
of justice are not courts of juStiee; lint 'I Will yet get
justice in heaven: I am, a guilty woman, I know, but
not of this murderrwhich•was committed, by another. I
forgive everybody" who did me wrong:: I die a sacrifice
to the law. I hope you all may. be judged better than ,
I haVe been,- and by a more righteous judge. I die
prepared to meet my God."
Dr. Miller, the Deputy, Sheriff, then approached her
with the. rope, -when she wiciaimed, Dr. Miller, how
can you stain yanr hands by putting that rope around
my neck—the instrument of my, death P'? ,
He assured her that duty coMpelled to 'do it and
she made ,no resistance,, -Rua only, said, "J)o, for, lode;
take, pat it on so it will not suffocate me."
Atlgt it'had been arranged, DitAtiller. 'took the black
cP.p from his pOclot, and proeeeded to put it on her
head-, 'wne-11 gib said, "Be sure-that my face is covered!!
All this took 'Place in' less thin than it will take to
read it, during which.she said several timelb "Gad have
mercy God, have tnettiy on_ my. goal.' Her last
words were; lesils Christ reetiVe Aly soul:" •
She was requested to take a step fOrward on the drop
and then, everything being prepared, Dr. Miller made a
motion to Sheriff 'Tunis, who pilled the fatal rope, and
in an instant the fell. The fall was about foUr feet, and
the machiney was so nicely adjusted, that the noise was
scarcely heard outside of the enclosure. •
There WO Ocarce4r rhoirgitient in thei body after it

Mon LAW TN KENTlcict...7-The following private
letter from Mr. Clay shows that the agitation in
Madison . County is more serious than: the Kentucky
papers represent. The letter is dated March 29, 1860 :
" YoUrs of the. 19th is received. I have only time to,
say that we are in a state of war. The oligarchy were
aiming aVnte in the expulsion of the Boreans from their

there On • Satdrday, and tried to induce him' to le*,
telling him he would bring on a fight,• and advising the
Republicans to keep apart frOM the movement. The mob
at once cried out that I was then plotting an attack. On
Monday they Metat I3erea, insultedtbe'people by eearo-
- the houses and. not finding HanSon,they provoked a
conflict; several were wounded, and the Lynehers were
defeated. On Tuesday they returned in force, but find-
ing no one,' they broke up the sew-mills and swore van-
geance against me and the whole party. In the mean
tlma (en Tuesday)- I spoke' at Richmond, stating that I
was and had. been for peace; that ,I stood-upon. the

myself and friends. The mob increases in violence; Elie
