given, he felt that he could not further defend that part of
the petitioa which prayed that his seat might be declared
Toni. But while admitting that, he felt that his personal
Moons should be deer and without stain helm the public,
sad therefore he (Mr. N. Sinai)) proposed to put knia in

Mr. M. Smith) loped after they had heard the evidence
of Mr. Honfall, the committee would have no didiculty in
coming. to a resolution cm that subject. Mr. Montan was

bo we. 60 auzious to avoid anything of the sort, that
he took his owe agent, Mr. Forshaw with him, the more
effectually to avoid anythiag of the kind. lie proposed to
call Mr. Honfall before the committee then, and, if nee*
wiry, Mr. Furnitw, and the committee would hear their
own statements. lie (the learn.d emissel) might also state
Wee that with regard to the ether petitioa—that against
Mr. Bus—they were not in a condition to prosecute it.
They had looked into the case*, and they thought it right
to say that they ought sit to present it before the commit-
tee. Therefore, as far as that venni= was concerned, no
evident* would be offered.
The Chairman said he supposed Mr. M. Smith would
glee al asturanee, that he would not go into any criminal
proceedings with regard to those witnesses who had been
bribed.
Mr. James said that must be distinctly understood *fore
he could consist to the withdrawal of the petition against
Mr. Bass.
Mr. Smith said, after what he had stated, there could be
no imputation on Mr. Bass at ail.
Mr. &gnomic Ringlake observed, that the course sug-
gested did not, of course, preclude the committee from
making a special report as to those parties who were bribed.
The Hon. Mr. Hinnaird (one of the committee) said the
CMS then stood thus—Mr. Korea resigned his seats sad
the petition against Mr. Bane was withdrawn distinctly
upon that avowal, and, consequently, that there was to be
no oppoddin to Mr. Heyworth getting the vacated seat.
Mr. M. Smith assented.
Mr. dsaliss said he wished to state that the course thou
adopted was the result of no compromise whatever. That
he mitt dto be distinctly understood, as Mr. Hayworth
courted imuiry, and ao evidence could be prod at ell
nettle; him.
Mr. Handl was then examined by his counsel, Mr. M.
Smith, and said—l recollect receiving as invitation to be-
come a candidate for Derby. It came from Mr. Lewis. I
was first applied to at the end of May. I was afterwards
waited by a deputation from Derby. Mr. Lewis, the
late Mr. Mesmty, and Mr. Bowden, formed the deputation.
They mops*
_timi they would pay the whole of my expense
if I wilt dellettd. I declined those term., bat said that I
would /spur ea toe contest and pay my own expenses, but
that I wesid Dot sanction anything hut the legal expenses.
I endue a letter which I wrote to Mr. Lewis. (The letter
was put ht. It stated that Mr. Hordall would net, either
by himself or his agents, countersue. any bribery, and es.'

penditure was ciontemplated, bat be would be ready to

in, in which he agreed with Mr. Honfall that 76111. mead

agent. I was not at all aware of any bribery or emus
practices going on at Derby, nor had I the ifiblift SOF

By the Committee—l believe every farthing in the se-
toast rendered to me was fee the legitimate exposers of
the desks. (The account was banded in to the ens-
Mine.)
Mr. Forshaw examined—l am a solicitor, of Liverpool,
sad went to Derby as Mr. Horsfell's private solicitor. My
issiraction Item ltr. Honfall were, that I was sot to near

INSPECTION OF TROOPS BY THE COMMANDER-IN-
CHIRP Or Tan WWITILILK DISTRICT.-011 Monday MOM-
ing Major-General Sir Barry Smith, 0.C.8., inspected the
7th and bith Regiments and the Royal Marines, on the
parade, Mount Wise. The pliant General took the com-
mand on the ground, and wt. the " word" himself with a
voice fully equal to the task. The various evolutions were
gone through in the most admirable style, by the whole of
the troops, but from the eoutracted space affirded by the
parade-ground there was no moving the troops in • body,
or forming • continuous line.— Wafers Courier.

Fonztom Snirrisio.—A return to the House of
Commons has been issued, showing that the amount paid
under reciprocity treaties, up to the 31st Dec., 18.51, was
8612,2024. 19s. 63., and in the year ended 31st December,
1854 41,8571. 6a. ; making a total to the year 1862 of
814,06e1. ss. 6d. These payments are made out of the
duties of customs, as the difference for foreign vessel' ad-
mitted under reciprocity treaties, at the same duty as
British vessels.
