AS:,ENItiLING iF PARLIAMENT.
Lord BRoUiAzi AM. lat..* 0.1 toe table a Bill for
sherteeieg the der :floe Ot th, space of fury (ley. which
new accor iir g ter s'iltUtP MA.-e clapse b-iween a
general eiec ion and the ttsiiiabling ot a new Pal lie-
meta. Tei,i pee- wa. derived from the con,truce•iou of
the 22d ar of the treaty of union with i4ceiland. By
that treety the term ot twenty-five days had alto
been fixed to elap-e betwe‘n the election of
&tech repreone.tive Peen and their return, but as in
cone quenc of tee increased facility
had been aeeten,d to ten flays of coma twice, ion
ys he saw no reason why
the :pace of 50 days iu a mthe which was of far more im.
portaine, and owing to its origin to the acme source,
should no. be diorened in a similar manner. Many
instances wculii o cur in wlich it would be oFgreist im-
pertaece thet the mpece between a dissolution and the IT-
asiecubling if Yerlietneet should Le! as short ak possible.
He c .uld not mention the subj, ct of a dissolution K iihout
exp. es:deg hew mu h he depe red the necessity of some
stringent meioure being adopted to put an end to the
present system of bribery and cerreption at elecrioni,.
Every viler who took a bribe iecurred, iu his epinion,
the moral guilt of perjury; bectoe“e wh,ohcr the eath
Wre in tact applied or nor, in 99 cases out of 100.
every man who took a brine took It with
the firm intenti .n of forsweerit g himself, if ne-
ceasary. He thought they never would put a com-
Pliqe end to this aeful prac!ice. The hotter way would
be to exact from each Member, on taking his sear, a full,
_1:11:71, and stringent d,claration, such as he himself had
u eem:fully proposed before the last dissolution.
_l:t
e Earl ot DERBY said that he saw no otjection to
the Bill introduced by the Noble Lord being read a first
time.
when itNo doubtwo there did occur many instances
uld
desirable to shorten the space
between the
dessolbe ution of one Parliament and the re-
assembling of an
ewa one. With regard to the subject of
was quite with the Noble Lord that
sbti;mibeetrhyi,nhge
done
and whatever was done ought,
be thought, to be do
beforeo a general election rather
than after it. The late
and
hiehvehrnadmetnte had prepared a
measure on the subjec

present Government, was now under
considera-
tion of the other House; and he
was glad to have the
concurrence of his Noble and L Friend. opposite
measures which ought
that this at least was one of the
to be passed before fi dissolution.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE
concurred with
e to blame
the Ncble and Learned Lord, that something should be
to the present prevalence of bribery.e
done to put a stop
He thought that the corruptors were mu',
thin the corrupted.
The Bill was read a first time.
MAYNOOTH GRANT.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented petitions
from Banbury, Kenilworth, parish of St. Sepulchre_
Cambridge, Rothbury, and Montrose, against the may:
nooth grant.
ECCLESIASTICAL QuARRgLs AT COLOMBO.
Lord CREW/BNB gave notice of his intention to
put a question to the Noble Lord the Uuder-Sccretary
fur Colonial Affairs whether he had received any papers
relating to certain quarrels between the Bishop of
Colomeo and his clergy, and whether there was any
intention of taking steps to bring those differences under
the notice of the eclesiastical authoriti,:s in this country.
Earl DESA.Itr said that the papers alluded to bad not
been received, but that Government could have no wish
to postpone their answer to the quaition of the Noble
Lord. If the Noble Lord would center with him (Lord
D,eart) to-morrow, he would ic.firm him how fur the
