PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

lALINGTON CATTLE NARKET.—Yesterday, the
mime committee to which the Smithfield Market Removal
Bill was referred proceeded with thu consideration of this
bill, the object of it being to incorporate the Islington
Cattle Market and Abattoir Company, and for extending by
10 acres the present cattle market at Islington, an act of
parliament having been granted for the establishment of
the market in the reign of King William IV. The bill
sought power to raise 200,0001., in 20,000 shares of 101
each, and to borrow 60,0001. The cane having been opened,
and Mr. Armstrong and other witnesses examined, the
committee, after deliberation, threw the bill out, by de-
claring, in parliamentary parlance, " the preamble not
proved."
THE AYLESBURY ELECTION PETITION COMMITTEE.—
Yesterday this committee, consisting of Mr. Green (chair-
man), the Attorney-General, Sir F. Thesiger, Sir G.
Clerk, Mr. Freshfield, Viscount Duncan, Mr. Baines,
Capt. Boldero, Mr. Dcedes, and Mr. Roebuck, after ex-
amining Messrs. C. Cuniughaw, J. Strutt, T. H. Brad-
ford, J. Parrott, 11. Ilatten, A. Tindal, .1. Baker, M.
O'Connor, E. James, Q.C.. T. Edwardes, and his Grace
the Duke of Buckingham, reported that " notwithstanding
the conflicting testimony, they felt bound to express their
opinion that Mr. Strutt lend not that authority from Theo
Hughes Bradford to sign the petition (complaining of the
return of Mr. Bethel!, and subsequently withdrawn) he
alleged he had, and that they cannot but regard the con-
duct of Messrs. Strain and Cunningham an highly culpable,
more especially as the signature to an electmn petition is the
foundation of an important judicial proceeding."

THE MORALS OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

(Pram Pemck)

The poet oaks,
'bete any Irani shut
Wolin the boom of the mac?"
and finds that there are so many, that, to fix on any ono is
to cramp the use of that which is used to point it. Su it is
with the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations. All
sorts of morals grow out of it, or are tacked on to it. You
overhear them in the Crystal l'alace ; you pick them up in
the park; they obtrude themselves upon you in leading
articles ; they oust the weather in casual street encounters ;
they beguile the pauses of a quadrille, and set conversation
a-going in the railway carnage. We present a sample to
the readers of Punch, who will he good enough to select
those they like best. All arc genuine, and the only fault we
hare to find with them is, that they cut each other's
throats.
The l'roteetionist's Moral.—Oh!—a pretty benefit to the
country to flood ns with foreign goods, ruin the home•
market, and take all the gold out of the country ! How-
ever, it will open people's eyes to the humbug of free trade.
The Free lhader's Moral.—A wonderful sight: illus-
trates admirably the inter-dependence of nation and
nation, and proves, to demonstration, that the principles of
free trade are those of nature and common sense.
The Britiehllasaffacturer's :floral.—Hy Jove, we must
look sharp—or these foreigners will be cutting us out !
The Foretyn ditto ditto :
Seserj !
Potztausend ! After all, these Englishmen have
Carafe ! some notions of their own, be-
Corp° di Boom ! yond machinery and penknives.

*MASON TIMM" AND Fllll SHILLING MORALS.
The Danate's.—What a deyvilish pleasant lounge !
The Damtestste's.—You know ono meets everybody!
Mamma's.—Well-educated girls appear to such advan-
tage;e and my girls are so well educated!
" Very Remarkable Man's."—By Jove! How deuced
little one knows, after all!
Sir Charles Coldstream's.—A lot of things one doesn't
understand, and a host of people one's tired to death of
meeting.

MARITAL. MORALS.
rAe Husband's.—Avoid the Indic Shawl and Lace De-
partments.
The IVele's.—Get the men to take you to see the stupid
machinery, and you may get them among those sweet shawls,
and those loves of laces !
SHILLING MORALS.
The Artisan's.-1 wonder how they'd get on without us ?
—Or we without them, for that matter.
The Democrat's.—Well, there's something in that chap,
Prince Albert, after all !
TAe Communist's.—What a grab, if it wasn't for the
policeman.
The fled Republican's.—Confound these English. They
don't seem at all ripe for revolt!
The 06serrer'8.-1.7p0n my word, One Shilling seems to
make a better use of his time than Five!
MR. PUNVICS MORAL.
That the different nations of the world, and the different
classes of society might meet oftener, with much advantage
to each other.

REPRESENTATION OF BATH--On Thursday eve-
ning W. Sutcliffe, Esq , who had been fetched from Wey-
mouth by • deputation of the conservatives, arrived in
Bath, and immediately issued an address to the electors,
announcing himself as a candidate for the vacant seat in
parliament. The document is a very short one, Mr. Sut-
cliffee basing his claims to the votes of the electors entirely
upon his acquaintance with their local wants, and a sym-
pathy with their local feelings. He says : " The friends at
whose call I conic forward have not asked for pledges, and
I have none to offer, save the assurance that, if elected, I
will endeavour diligently and conscientiously to discharge
the duties of the high station which I am encouraged to
seek." We understand, however, that notwithstanding the
address is silent upon the subject, Mr. Suteliffee has de-
clared himself Wore his committee to be a free trade con-
servative.

FATAL COLLIERY EXl'l.oBloN.—Another of thoso
accidents so lamentably frequent in this district occurred at
Byer's-green Colliery, near this city, on the 3rd inst., and
resulted in the untimely death of a promising young man,
a eon of John Robson, Esq., of Wlutwell-grango. On the
morning of the above day the deceased, who hell the situa-
tion of resident reviewer at the colliery, proceeded, in corn-
pany with the overman, John Dackres, and William Thurl-
away, the deputy overman, to inspect a portion of the work-
ings
which had been for some time past " laid off." De-
ceased, who was provided with a safety lamp, was somewhat
in advance of the others, who were approaching with naked
candles, and on the latter being brought into contact with
the foul air, it suddenly ignited, and caused an explosion,
front the effects of which the deceased was scorched from
head to foot. His two companions, who had not advanced
so tar, were also burnt, but not seriously. The deceased was
removed, but medical skill was unavailing. Alter lingering
for about thirteen hours, the unfortunate young man ex-
pired.—DurAton Advertiser.
