BRIBERY AT ELECTION&

Lad BROUGHAM asked leave to introduce a bill for
the prevention of bribery at electious. From the virront
spaptoms of the political world he inferred that • germs)
otion was probable this yaw —it was at all mats oertain
the next, and therefore the preheat was a mast suitable
time for endeavouring to check eleolaral conniption. It
bad been asserted that that bones should net take the
initiative in such a question, but they should remember
%hat the greatest of the bribery area, the god George IL,
received the most important alterations eves in the mat►
ekuses in that hour.. Ravin cited numerous eases of
bribery, amongst others that of a borough of MO electors
cif whom MO received id:. each had money, the noble mud
learned bred concluded by laying the bill on tie table.

say that be bad has particulars from the superintendent of

Tarns?. report having been admitted by the managers of

FACILITIES FOR DIVINE WORSHIP IN MLLE-
COATE SCHOOLS BILL

'lke Bishop ef OXFORD, in moving the second reading of
this bill, said he had been asked to undertake its carriage by
the incumbent at a large perish in him own diocese. This
gentleman was at once incumbent of the parish, patron
of the living, and founder of • large chartered
school. In We three-fold capacity be suffered some
convenience, which wee sought to be removed by this bill.
He had submitted the bill to both houses of convocation,
and to both it bad been approved. Its objects were two.
fold—tint, to allow the bishop to license one master
in priest's orders to perform divine service in the chapel of
the school, ad to administer the merriment to the inmates.
At present there was great inconvenience to the pariabioaers,
who were completely ousted from their church by the large
number of boys attending divine service, and it was desirable
that whilst the latter had full facilities for religious dutiee,
the rights of de parishioners should not be interfered with.
Be believed. from many years' experience, that no evil could
arise from the erection of • chapel in connexion with the
erhoola. The other provision permitted—subject to the
consent of the bishop and the parish clergymen--the use of
the perish church at times when it was not required for the
prochial services, pending the erection of the school chapel.
ii these observations he asked their lordships todiermit
the second reading of the bill.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved its rejection, and
it was opposed by the Lord Chancellor, Earl Grey, sad other
pima, but it was eventually read • mod time.
