it be for the honour of the Law, there should' be
such a tliffirrence betweel the Courts. lle thought
therefore the Bill on to go to a Committer,
to see if snmeihing could ran be done to reduce
the praClice to some degrcsf of certainty one way
or otter. There were two branches on which
those several difference; arose. One as to carry-
ing the Voters only ; Vie other to allowing them
meat and drink.' In a Committee, the house
would have a fair and full opportunity of can-
va,sing the subjett thoroughly, of trying what could
be done. It they could remove the existing
doubt;, without disfranchising the Itlleetars, it
would be very desirable to do so. What might be
the fate of the Bill when it came nut of the Com-
mittee, he could not pretend to say; he only begged
to be und:rsoxid, that in voting for it to proceed to
that stage, he did not pledge himself to any further
suppers of it.
fslr. TlEo NEI' hoped the House would indulge
him lents a few words. One Hon. Friend of his
(Mr. Johnstone) objeCted to the Bill, because it was
a measure e Pahamentary reform ; and another
Honourable Friend (Mr. Francis) objected to it, be.
cause it was rot • measure of Parliamentary reform;
whereas, the tuft is, that it hat nothing at all to do
with reform; and the only alteration it would make,
s'aonli it pass inrn a law, was this, that Honourable
Members would come to that House, with money in
their pockets, instead of being most extravagantly
drained of it. He was desirous, however, of acting
as pruJenay as possible, and determined that if he
can't to what he wants, he will take what he can
get. Where this Bill bad been carried into effeel, it
had done a great deal of good. He meant the Bo-
rough ; where drunkenness, riot, and confusion were
banolltd, though there was as much huzzaing as
hi, lirrihmr :tile Friend (Mr. Courtenay) could wish
for. lie had thus got rid of two objeEtioes; he
would now proceed to assure the House; it was not,
as it had been represented, a declaratory Bill, but
intended solely to explain anti amend • •e aCI of King
William, by putting a diretct construdion on it ; and
openly and fairly declaring that no Lleetor has a
right to vote a; the expence of the Candidate. It
had been, on all hands, admitted, that such differ-
ences at present exist, and, in his opinion, they
ought to he made plain and clear. He denied there
being any thing in the &II that disfranchised any
man. At present, Candidate; have only the option to
pay enormous expences, or to give upthe eleCtion. The
obj-c of this bill was not to proteCt Candidates, by
seeing money, nor to disfranchise e'eftors, in order to
!men the number, but to open the doors of Parliament
to a class of men deserving seats tieeie—t. ore of
moderate fortunes. He did ern mean to s.iy that
men nt wealth should met also have seats ; t.uey cer-
tainly gave a great weight, and f rmed an import-
ant branch of the House ; but there were many who
would be valuable Memoers, that are now totally
excluded. He adverted to the arguments used by
Mr. Morris, at the commencement of the debate,
as to voters h tying no option in quitting tlvir ori-
ginal place of residence, in order to follow the
market, and said it amounted to no mote than this—
" I left my residence to make myself rich, and I
won't go back to vote, without making yon poor " It
was shocking to think of bringing strangers (for he
insisted those men had made themselves strangers,
though they were born there) to poll, drunk ; and,
what was worse, that, after indulging in riot and
confusion, during the eleCtion, very few of them
carried the money to their families ; and by stop-
ping the practice, the House would do a bene-
it to society; for the number of persons who would
be prevented from polling, would be very few in-
deed. As to its not extending to Ireland, he thought
that part of the empire might be under different cir-
cumstances, and therefore left it out ; but if neces-
sary, a separate Bill might be brought in to extend
it to Ireland. As to Scotland, it was not liable to
the At of William. An Hon. Member had said
Scotland ought to be excluded ; but he was of a
different opinion. lit. Tierney urged several of
his former arguments, and concluded by assuring
the House, he meant no disfranchisements.
Lord P3RCHESTER laid, he thought the prin-
ciple of the Bill had, and should therefore oppose
it going into a Committee.
The question was then called for, and a division
having taken place, there appeared—

The SPEAKER; who said, he thought it in-

of late understood and adhered to, with respell to
In-oioas fur accounts. Any Member had a right to
move tor the annual or usual accounts without nn-
tiee, or for any account, when be was enabled
to state that be had communicated his intent
to the particular department from which the ac-
counts were to come; His Majesty's Ministers had
also a right to move for accounts witimut notice ;
10 he did not think, as the pradtice now stood,
s:rtainly stabled to be revised and altered by the
house, that the lion.Gentlensan could, consistently
with that praftice, move for papers without any
Previous notice or communication.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, he willingly sob-
mitred to the established Order of the House. The
reason why he had not communicated with any of
the Gentlemvs belunging to the department was.
that he conceived there could not be the lean oh-

GLIND BALL AND SUPPER.

Sir WINDSOR HUNLOKE and Miss Hut/tote,
his fair sister, gave their first grand entertain.
ment this season, last night, at their house in
Albemarle-street.—Much had been expeded from
the magnificent liberality of the Baronet, and
the taste and elegance of the fair hostess ; but
every expeCtation was exeeeded by the reality.
—The grand hall was lighted by a Grecian lamp,
suspended from the cieling. A large 'figure
of the goddess Flora held in one hand a branch
of laurel, and in the other an Egyptian lamp.—
The geometrical staircase was lighted byglobe laraps.
The front drawing-room, or reception-room, dis-
played both taste and grandeur ; at each corner of
the mantle-piece, stood upon marble pedestals, two
beautiful bronze figures, holding or-nioles branches,
with wax tapers. In the centre, a very fine Apilo,
also supporting lights ; between the windows
were two very fine mirrors, with cabinets n tider
them, covered with the rarest and choicest exotics ;
or-Nola branches were placed in every pannel. In
the centre was a magnificent diamond-cut lustre.—
The hall-room is 36 feet by 22. It was a perfect
Paradise, between lights, and flowers, and shrubs,
whit'll were arranged with uncommon taste. Golden
eagles supported gold branches, with lights. The
bow-window was filled with shrubs, and, in the
centre, a convex mirror was placed, which bad a
beautiful effeCt. The room was surrounded with
mirrors and to-andu branches ; the fkor was chalked
by an eminent artist, in all the emblematic devices
appropriate to music and dancing. 'I able: wire Lid
in an adjoining room, with tea, coffee, ices, orgeat,
Stc. on the finest china, urns, spoons, &c. of gold.
In the great dining-parlour, three tables were laid
fa: snt.p, r. The centre one, to entertain fifty, was
for His Royal Highness the Prince of Was.
the ROYAL DUKES, and the remainder of the
Prince's party. In the centre of this table, was
a temple of silver filigree, dedicated to the
Goddess of Plenty, of whom there was a beau-
tiful figure, with one band beckoning her guests ;
the other supporting the co-etecupur ; at each
corner were sliver angels, with their wings ex-
panded, bearing massy silver branches, with tapers ;
this beautiful temple was supported by four Mer-
maids, on gold pzdestals. Tae design WAS new,
and the execution admirable. At each side were
massy silver branches, holding lights ; there were
several smaller temples, dedicated to Mimeo,
Cupid, and the Graces. The supper was served on
gilt plate. The ice-pails, cups, &c. were of gold.
The other tables were very little in.erior in splen-
dour. The desert was superb. It consisted jef the
choicest fruits; more than fifty pines graded the
board ; there were tables laid in all the lower rooms;
a horse-shoe for fifty, in one, prepared in the must
splendid style. All the rooms were most brilliantly
lighted. The supper, which was hot, consisted of
every delicacy of the season. The finest and choicest
wines were in abundance. The Hall was opened at
twelve teelnek, by Lord MICH! AED HAMILTON
and Miss Ilest.Olte, to the tune of The Deril assume
the Tiiiiort. Miss HUNLoKE was elegantly, but sim-
ply dressed. A silver tissue robe, trimmed with
lilies of the ',Ailey, as emblems of her spotless
mind ; a simple wreath, of the same elegant Rower,
confined her beautiful hair. Native loveliness wants
no aid from adventitious ornaments. At twelve
o'clock above four hundred Nobility were arrived
to partake of this superb/it/ : amongst whom were,

hOXINC.
DAN. MENDOZ t AND HARRY LE!.
Yesterday being appointed t t e a-, ire pngulisti
to exhibit themselves in a ',acheI battle for .$0 gut-
n •as, the same took place at Giim,te.td-green, three
miles and a half from the town of nromlty in Kent.
The combatants met in a 2ft feet roped ring, formed
on the green, soon after one o'clock, attended
by their seconds. 13 a Ward and Bill Gittuna
for Mendoza, and the Gwile Chiden and Gid,'‘,
for Lee. Dan. Mendoza is known to the public as
a first-rate Lruiser cf the old school, and a man who
knew more of the real science of boxing than any
other man of his day. If he was not of statute
and size to engage with the champions of that day,
jchnson and Rip Ben, his name was regarded with
terror amongst fighting men. Lk last battle,
which was with Jaci•on, was fonzht nine years since,
and he at that time relinquished all pretensions
to pugilistic practice. He, however, was induced
to enter the lists with Lee, in conseqaei,ce of a dis-
pate respecting matters foreign to us. Lee, as well
as his opponent, has been a pugilist many years
bnt never, until the present day, did he become a
candidate for fighttag fame. He never fought a
pitched battle, although he"was a inod sparrer, and
a judge of the sport ; but he has aged as a trainer,
&c. to the rising generation of bruisers.
Ever since the match was made, the cognoreenti
have anticipated an easy conquest on the part of
Meadow., end, accordingly, the current betting in
the ring. before setting-le, was three to one in his
favour. He entered the ring nearly hale an hour
before his opponent, and walked round it with great
composure until Lee s:ripped, when he eagerly did
the same, with a smile of confide-zee as to the re-
sult.

THE FIGHT.

ended the fight, Lee fell Kithnut a blow; Mendoza's
seconds did not choose to give away a chance, as
they had d a ? sevir II times in the course of the bot-
