Mu. Dr CANE, M.P., ON NAVAL AFFAIRS. —On
Tuesday evening, Mr. Du Cane and Sir T. B. Western
attended a dinner at Halstead, Essex, in celebration of the
opening of a Corn Exchange in that town. Mr. Du Cane,
in responding for the toast of his health, in answer
to two questions put to him during the evening, as
to the truth or otherwise of the sweeping hill of
indictment brought by Mr. Seely against the manage-
ment of the Admiralty for the past few yeah, that
the question as to whether more money bad not ,
been expended on :he repair of our boats than
their original cost was answered in the House of Com-
mons by Sir J. Pakington, who pointed out that Mr. I
Seely bad got bold of the' wrong figures, and was labouring
under a misconception. With regard to the other goes-
Don as to whether great difficulty had not been experienced
iu obtaining sailors owing to the lowness of the wages,
the hon. member stated that during the recent dock-
yard inspection by the Board of Admiralty, although they
had received innumerable deputations of dockyard
labourers requesting increased wages on account of the
high price of provisions and of lodging accommodation, yet
they did not receive a single deputation or a single com-
plaint from the crews of any one of the large number of
ships they bad visited. Although, he said, he could not
state the amount of money that had been expended on
particular ships, he assured the company that from the first
member of the Board of Admiralty to the last there was
but one sincere and ardent wish, via., that the mis-state-
ments as to the Admiralty administration should, during
the recess, undergo a thorough investigation, and that if
any abuses were detected they should be dealt with, anti
rooted out in the most summary manner. He also alluded
to the comparison which had been drawn between the naval
expenditure of this country and that of America, and con-
tended that the two cases were not at all parallel, for
whereas America five or six years ago had no navy at all,
England had not only been called upon to make a navy,
but also t unmake one, and to keep an existing nary
going.
Tut ELECTION COMMISSIONS.—Yeaterday the
commissioners at Great Yarmouth adjourned until Wed-
nesday, October 3. The last witness examined by them
yesterday was a man named Thomas Fox. a builder, who
denied most strongly having had anything to do with
bribing voters. He confessed to having been asked
about doubtful voters, but could not be brought to acknow-
ledge that he bad handed to Jones (Satterthwaite) a
list of voters whom be could bribe. The commissioners
asked witness to look at Satterthwaite and say if he had
not seen him before. Witness, as be looked,
seemed about to faint, but still denied having seen
him during the time of the election. After further
questions, he confessed that a voter named Etheridge had
some lodgers who should be ready at the election, and
who wanted '_L to release their things from pawn. Wit-
ness went to the Angel Inn, and was introduced to the
" stranger" in a bedroom. and asked him for the 22., but
did not get it. Mr. Satterthwaite told the commissioners
that the witness had come to him with • list of voters,
and bad boldly asked for from 400 f. to 5001. for them.
When the money was refused he went away in a buff.—
At Tames, yesterday. Willem Mitchell said he got 501.
for his vote at the last election. He was the Duke's tenant,
and had not intended voting, because be was under a
notice, which he understood would be withdrawn if he
kept away from the polling booth. He spoke to Mr.
Se) moor about the notice, and that gentleman said that
he knew such things did occur sometimes in Totnee, and
that the best thing witness could do would be to vote for
him (Mr. Seymour), as that would set all right. Another
witness described a method of bribing which suited
squeamish people. He was asked to call at Mrs. Parnell's,
and he was shown into a room in which be maw a parcel
on the table. It contained money, about 501., and wit-
ness, who expected something of the sort, picked it up,
and took it away. A coachman deposed to being engaged
to drive lame ducks" away from Totnes. at former elec.
Vona. At the last be drove young Mr. Ponder to the Sey-
mour Hotel. The young gentleman's box was very heavy
and witness could not help telling some of his acquaint.
slices that he had " just taken a great whack of gold to
the Seymour."

Subsequently in proposing "The labourers of the Parish
of Hughenden," the Chancellor of the Exchequer said—
" One of the characteristics of the age in which we live
is a just appreciationof thepoeition of the labouring classes ;
and I believe that we all here present feel a peculiar in-
terest in the welfare of those who labour on the soil of old
England. (Hear, bear.) To elevate their condition, to
render their lives more easy and more comfortable, is now
the object of every intelligent man who finds himself placed
in a responsible position ; and I am always glad to know
that in that part, of England which we inhabit,
and more especially in this district, labour has become
so valuable that it is scarce, and that the consequence
is that the condition of those who work is our fields—our
associates in that great system of husbandry on which the
proeperity of the country mainly depends—in upon the
whole satisfactory. In consequence of the great demand
for labour wages are, in general, good ; and with respect
to another point of great Importance, namely, the resi-
dences of our labourers, I can truly say that, as far as I
could exercise any influence is this parish, I have done all
that I could without ostentation—(hear' hear)—without
interfering with their habits, without taking a course
which they would find troublesome—l have done all that I
could to improve their residences and to make thei- homes
comfortable."
