IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

SPORTING INTELM'aRNOIL

ELECTION IN'TELLIUENCE.

Vetere dealing with a considerable nuinv, a
bills which came under their oonsidere.do, last I
evening, the peers found time to ditroose a two or
three questions of more or less interest. Although
there must be in existence, 'easel co es
of the Coronation Oath, I,4ed •
is anxious that one should be prepared
ally for the information a their lord-
ships ; but as no isle desired to thwart his
desire, it was hardly necessary that he should have
introduced his motion for its production in a series
of remarks which closely approathed, is their
length and in their tone, to the proportions and
character of a sermon. Ries discussion upon our re-
serve forces, which waainidatedliy Lorilaro, was
almost a repetition of several debates upon the same
topic would have occurred in the House of Com-
mons ; •Iltid its only result was to ascertain (as had
been asoartaised mess thee <moo before) that the
government have so intention to interfere with the
system of administnation which is at present in
force. An inquiry was made upon the subject of
the blockade of the port of Mazatlan; but
although Lord Malmesbury told the house that
that blockade had been raised, he was unable to
give the house any definite information as to the
drama/weep under which it had been instituted.
The first incident in the proceedings of the
early sitting of the House of Commons was
the introduction of the Appropriation Bill,
upon the passing of which very much de-
pends the date at which parliament can be
prorogued. After Mr. Adderley had in-
formed Mr. W. E. Forster that the legislature of
Queensland bad adopted measures to regulate the
immigration of South Sea Islanders into that
colony, and the Home Secretary had told the
same gentleman that the government were not at
present prepared to take any steps to carry out the
Schools Inquiry Committee (and some unim-
portant measures had been advanced a stage), the
house again went into oommittee upon the Elec-
tions Petitions Bill. Two or three not very im-
portant amendments were proposed, and rejected ;
but the original clauses of the bill were got
through without any material difficulty. When
tke last clause came before the oommittee an in-
quiry was addressed to the Prime Minister
as to whether or not ho adhered to his intention
to extend the operation of this measure to Scot-
land and Ireland. Mr. Disraeli declined to give
any pledge upon the subject ; but he assured the
committee that he had not Oven up the hope of
bringing the whole of the United Kingdom within
the scope of the bill. The first of the new clauses
was that brought up by the Premier to provide
for the payment of the new judges, and the extra
remuneration of those who were to conduct inves-
tigations under the bill; and an amendment upon
this clause (proposed by Mr. Monk), to strike out
the extra 600/. a year to be given to the judges
upon the election petition rots, led to the
longest and most important discussion of the
afternoon. Mr. Disraeli and the Solicitor-
General defended this increase of /salary
on the ground that extra duties would be
imposed upon and some inconvenience oc-
casioned to the judges by this bill, and that this
moderate advance would render the measure lees
unpalatable to the old judges than it ht other-
wise appear ; and even r. Whitbr: thought
that it was only a far_ payment for the discharge
of new duties; while Mr. Gorst appeared to sug-
gest that the addition of 6001. a year to their sala-
ries was necessary so to elevate the position of
these judges as to enable them satisfactorily to
discharge their duties. On the other hand, Mr.
Cardwell, Mr. Bonverie, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr.
Henley, opposed the granting of exceptional sala-
ries to these election judges, as calculated to im-
pair their position, and recommended that if the
salaries of the judges were not sufficient,
the remuneration of the whole number should
be increased to the same amount. Upon a
division the amendment was carried by a majo-
rity of 27-123 to 96. A clause—brought up by
the Prime Minister—limiting the operation of the
set to throe years, and until the end of the next
session of parliament, was introduced without
• opposition ; and then Sir W. Hutt proposed to
PM
enact that all peers, whether spiritual or temporal,
who should hereafter interfere in parliamentary
. elections, should be guilty of a misdemeanour.
• Mr. Disraeli met this proposal in a strain of lively
bandinage ; and after a short discussion, which
turned mainly upon the effect of the resolution of
the House of Commons upon this subject, the
, clause was withdrawn. Little more pro gras had
lk been made when the sitting was suspended.
There was but a small attendance of members
at the opening of the evening sitting; and Mr.
Bailie Cochrane's observations upon the report
•• of the Admiralty Committee on Greenwich Hos-
pital excited only a very languid attention. In
the discussion which followed the whole story of
Greenwich Hospital was gone over, in consider-
able detail ; but as there was no motion before
the house, the debate led to no immediate prac-
tical result. The claims of the Customs extra
clerks to be placed upon the same footing as the
establishment clerks were brought before the house
i by Mr. H. B. Sheridan ; but no hope was hold out
/ by Mr. S. Booth that their desire was likely to be
i fulfilled. Indeed the Secretary of the Treasury
I intimated that the action of the government would
be in the direction, not of the enlargement, but
4. of the contraction of the Customs establishment.
In asking the Chief Secretary whether the
Land Tenure Commission would have power to
inquire into the best means for creating an inde-
pendent proprietary of small freehold estates in
4 Ireland, Mr. O'Beirne took occasion to question
some of the statistics cited, and some of the con-
clusions arrived at, by the noble lord on a previous
occasion. Lord Mayo was not prepared to enter into
the discussion of figures, but he informed the house
that the commission mentioned by the member
for Cashel (which -would act under instructions
-Ii• similar to those given to Lord Devon's Commis-
sion) would have full authority to examine the
whole question of ten nee, including that of the
creation of a email freehold proprietary. All these
questions were raised upon the motion for adjourn-
ment till Monday, but as there ta to be a sitting
to-day, that motion was withdrawn, mind the house
rd to the coneideretion of the eiders of the
he house adjourned at 2d minutes past 2.

ATOrritsra CASE OF DROWWIWG IN THE SHAFER-
7Tirm—Yesterday morning, at about half-past six o'clock,
an alarm was raised by the bathers in Hyde-park that a
man was drowning, when John Parsons, one of the Royal
Humane Society's boatmen, who was stationed about 200
yards off, immediately hastened to the rescue. Oa Nis
way he saw the arms of • man rise above the surface of
the water and disappear again, and only reached the spot
just in time to cabala sight of the crown of hie head as he
was sing for the bin time. He thrust his arm down
and awned the drowning man by the hair and brought his
head above water as quickly as possible, and lifted him
into the boat. As the man soon . began to recover the
boatman landed him, and gave him into the care of Police-
constable Holmes, 317 A, and was rowing away to watch
over the numerous other bathers, when he was readied,
as the brother of the rescued man was said to
be under the water. After dragging • consider-
able time the brother was found 20 yards nearer
the shore than where the other was picked up. The body
was at once taken to the Ineeinnophouse, and promptly
attended by Dr. Sexton, but in spite of the unremitting
efforts of the society's officer; they failed to resuscitate
it Indeed, the case was • hopeless one from the first.
It appears that two brothers named Owen end Albert
Dibbles, et 14, Anderson-street, King's-road, Chelsea,
were bathing together, when the Wier, being as indiffe-
rent swunmer, became exhausted and unable to keep up.
Owen went to his assistance, when he was isised by the
legs, and both went to the bottom together. Albert did
not rise agile, or be would have been seen by the number
of persons who were bathing about the spot; but Owen
struggled out into deeper water, when he was fortunately
seen and rescued as above described. lorkeii lilted into
the boat he triedto my something about his brother, but
his utteranee was so thick and uninWlieble, in coon-
comae of his half-drowning condition, that the boatman
•ould sot understand him.

THE ARREST OP MORPHT AT BoLTON.—Yes-
terday Witham Murphy was brought before the borough
magistrates at Bolton, on the charge of being likely to
cause a broach of the peace by his proposed lectures. The
court room was crowded, pest interest being manifested
both in Bolton and other towns, as to whether the magis-
trates had power to stop his proceedings. The informa-
tion upon which the warrant had been issued, alleged
that Murphy,,. by his lectures at other please,adu by l=
ing " provobng and scandalous words,'• had provoked
breaches of the peace, and caused injury to persons and
property, and that it is believed similar results would
follow his lectures at Bolton. Mr. Lerwedie, who prose-
cuted. said the application he bad to maim was, that
Murphy be called upon to enter into sureties to keep the
and also for his general behaviour the
e' in borough. The information sworn to by various persons
having been read, and several withepees examined, Mr.
Tarr r*, mpy condemned the 'me, us
being an
attack on ths liberty of free speech. The magistrates
ordered Mr. Murphy to End sureties to be of good be-
haviour for 12 months, himself in 6001., and two sureties
2601. each. Mr. Ton maid he should advise Mr. Murphy
that, under that decision, be could lecture in the town,
providing he did so as a rational being.

ANOLZBEA.—We learn that a groat county
public nusetinis has just been held at Beam:earls, Sir
Richard Williams Bulkeley, M.P., one of the retir-
ing members for the county, being the chairman. A
vote of thanks to the retiring members was proposed
by Mr. William Bulkeley Hughes, M.P. The liberal
candidates proposed were Mr. Richard Davies, late of
Menai Bridge, a great landed proprietor and en extend?*
shipowner, end • nonconformist magistrate, and Lord
Clarence Paget. The show of hands almost unanimously
favoured Mr. Davies, for whom the constituents are
enthusiastic. The great landed proprietors have declared
themselves neutral.
BRIDONORTH.—Yesterday Mr. H. Whitmore,
one of the Lords of the Treasury, lamed an address to the
electors soliciting re-election. The address is chiefly
marked by its appeal to the protestant feeling of the
el ect ors
MB.
CAIUDOE.—A meeting in the liberal interest
was held yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of intro-
ducing to the more influential' members of theory the
intending candidates on the liberal side at the f
election. Mr. Patrick Beales, the leader of the°ll=
party, presided. Two gentlemen, candidates for the
suffrages of the electors,were introduced by the chair-
man, via.' Mr. R. It. Torrens, who unsucceedully con-
tested the borough in 1866, when beheaded the poll as the
liberal side, but wee beaten by Mr. Powell by a majority
of 34 ; and again in 1866, single-handed, minima Mr.
Caret, when thelast-named gentleman was sucoesdul by
a majority of 19, the numbers being, Oast 774, Torres=
766. The second candidate Is Mr. William Fowler, bar-
rister-al-law, and partner in the eminent firm of Alexander
and Company, of Lombard-street. A vote of confidence
in both candidates was s
MERTHYR.—Mr. Osethtrgill, the large iron-
master and one of the candidates for the second seat
given to this borough, addressed a crowded meeting at
Aberdare, on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Robert Craw-
shay presided, and most of the principal colliery owners
were present. In the course of his address Mr. Fothergill
declared himself in favour of the disestablishment of the
Irish church and a supporter of Mr. Gladstone. The
meeting passed • vote in favour of Mr. Fothergill's candi-
dature. _

Georriol/2rey addressed a meet-
ing of his oozinitaenta, at on Thursday even-
ing. The right bon. baronet reviewed the more
important legislation which had succeeded the paring of
the act of ISM, and in which he had taken part.- He then
criticised the conduct of the conservative party In so vehe-
mently opposing the Reform Bill of Earl -Russell in BM,
and in supporting a far more democratic measure in 1867.
Sir George defended the course which the liberal party
had taken on the question of the Irish church. It was one
surrounded by immensediilleulties, and involved many and
various interests, and required therefore great discretion,
judgment, and moderation in dealing with it. Having
alluded to the proposals of Mr. Pitt and the government
of Lord Melbourne, Sir George admitted that what might
at one time have proved • satisfactory settlement of the
question could not now be adopted, and that therefore he
had not hesitated in giving his support to Mr. Gladstone's
propositions. He trusted that in the reformed House of
Commons the question would be approached and dealt
with in the right spirit—the spirit of sympathy with the
feelings of the majority of the people in Ireland. He did
not, he added, share the apprehensions which had been
expressed by many that the diesatablishment of the church
in Ireland must bring about a like disestablishment in
England. A vote of confidence in the right hon. baronet
was passed.
Norm-Emil' LAACAEMTRE.—A meeting of the
liberal electors of this division was held at Accrington on
Thursday afternoon last, when Mr. U. J. Shuttleworth,
son of Sir James P. Bays Shuttieworthi Bart., who had
been invited, addressed the meeting, which was large and
influentially attended. Lieutenant-Colonel Bowdon oc-
cupied the chair. Mr. Shuttleworth, in the course of his
address, declared himself a sincere and earnest supporter
of the policy of Mr. Gladstone.
NORIVICII.—A stormy meeting of the liberals of
Norwich declared on Wednesday night in favour of Mr.
Warner and Mr. Tillett, two of the three liberal candi-
dates now before the electors.

Rocuzwrwn.—At a meeting of the conserva-
tive party it has been arranged that Mr. Aldborough
Henniker should be darted as a candidate in that interest,
and a second conservative candidate was spoken of. Mr.
Wykeham Martin and Serjeant Rhiglake, the two sitting
members, both of whom are liberals, will seek re-election.
Tomcat Flasazrs.—An adjourned meeting,
called by circular, and signed by Mr. S. B. Ashton, of

WEST Brrarm.—The liberals in the division in
which Bradford is situate are organising an effective regis-
tration society, so as to be ready for any eventualities.
In the eastern division more than one meeting has been
held of influential men, and the result is a determination
to recommend to the oonstitueney Mr. U.S. Thompson as
a tit and proper person to represent that division of the
Riding. Mr. Thompson is a landowner in the district, of
distinguished business capacity, of thoroughly liberal sen-
timents, and popular withal. He is chairman of the

candidates for the eastern division, the liberals will find a
suitable colleague for Mr. Thompson. There is no sign of
any fight in the southern division as yet.
