There is
a mcire easily

traceable affinity between these occupants of the
cross benches and the occupants of the benches of
the Opposition than between the former representa-
• tives and the strenuous upholders of the DERBY
Administration. Upon the one great question of the
day—the question upon which Ministers originally
entered office—the dominant and absorbing ques-
tion of Free Trade—the Liberal Conserva-
tives are identical in their sympathies with
the leading men of the Opposition. Upon
the yet more remarkable questions of reform in re-
ference to the organization of Parliament, and the
extension of the franchise, and the better distribution
of electoral districts, the Peelites are more intimately
associated with the ultra-Liberals of the Opposition
than with the ultra-Conservatives of the Administra-
tion. Whatever may be the result of the delibera-
tions now going forward in the camp of the
D oubt-
fuls"—there can be little hesitation on their
part, when the " tug of war" commences,
as to whether their votes shall be given to the mea-
sures of the Cabinet or to the measures of the banded
foes of the Government.
Foremost among the difficulties of the Opposition
is obviously that of its divided leadership. Never-
theless, while in this particular there are discoverable
the provocatives of divisions among the anti-Minis-
terialists—a similar source, first of confusion and sub-
sequently of disbandment, may be discerned in the ranks
not so much of the Ministerialists themselves, as of the
very members of the Administration. An extraordi-
nary variety of subjects might be enumerated in re-
gard to which the different members of the Cabinet
are diametrically opposed to each other upon prin-
ciple. Insomuch has this proved the case ever since
February, that the leaders of the Government have
delayed the necessity of clearly defining their
intended policy from time to time by a series
of adroit and singularly ingenious postpone-
ments. It was maintained by them to this end,
for example, that the Cabinet would re-
frain from speaking out plainly and with any
degree of generally satisfactory explicitness until
such time as the country had pronounced its
decision, either in the negative or in the affirmative,
as to the continued existence of the DERBY Govern-
ment. As if the necessity for a Ministerial expla-
nation were no greater before than after any such
national demonstration ! As if she patriotic course
could be other than a candid avowal of the views
of the Ministry prior to the dissolution of the
Parliament ! As if common justice did not
require that the appeal to the country
should be preceded by the announcement of the
views entertained by the councils of the Govern-
ment ! But nc—in the silence preserved in this
emergency by Lord DERBY, his prudence and not his
patriotism was implicated. He could not by any
possibility have framed a Ministerial document an-
nouncing their intentions, upon which he purposed to
carry on the affairs of the Administration, without
instantly scattering confusion amongst the other-
wise apparently compact body of his colleagues. In
this respect the Cabinet has been situated as a man is
situated who is labouring under the affliction of mo-
nomania. Talk to him upon the ordinary business
of life and he is agreeable enough, and rational
enough for practical purposes. But whisper a word
about the themes upon which he happens to be
dazed, and there are speedily evidenced the most irre-
fragable testimonies that the silver chord is frayed
and jarring, if it be not altogether loosened, and that
the golden bowl is cracked, if not irreparably
broken. So with the Cabinet. It maintains
a decent appearance so long as the routine
business of administration is all that is required to be
accomplished by its members ; but so soon as it be
compelled to define, with something like accuracy, the
nature of the principles upon which it builds up the
scheme of the new Government, so soon will the signs
of its inherent incongruity become visible. The Op-
position will then appear a compact and cor-
dially united body, when compared with the
divided views and interests of the Administra-
tion. The Opposition, thereupon, will not only
appear, it will actually become " compact and
united" in the hope of destroying the energies of a
tottering and hesitating Government. Is is with
these confident anticipations that we look forward with
eagerness to the first assembling of the new Par-
liament. During the brief session of the ensuing
autumn it is possible, no doubt, that the Ministry
may gain their Ligny—but after Ligny, in the more
formidable session of 1853, comes Waterloo!

All honour to Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS ! Al-
though firmly convinced of the propriety and justice
of the rule which he had established, " not to admit
any insolvent to bail who had accommodation bills
or liabilities for other. persons on his schedule," he
has bowed to the decision of his brother Commis-

sioners in order to obtain an uniformity of proce-
dure in all such matters. This is as it should be.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, by so doing, has
made no inconsiderable addition to the many valuable
services which he has rendered to the community. It
requires no ordinary amount of moral courage to ac-
knowledge a fault, but there is a still higher quality, a
readiness to yield in a matter where you are still
satisfied of the correctness of your own views, and the
beneficial results that would attend their general
adoption. There is a forbearance in the act deserving
the highest approbation, and which we have no doubt
will be generally
appreciated.
Although we differed from the Learned Gentleman
on the propriety of the regulation, we freely and
willingly admit the fearful extent of the nuisance
which it was intended to abate; most justly and
truly it was designated as ‘• a desolating system"—
a desperate expedient of propping up a tottering
credit with delusive paper. Anything that could
even mitigate, if it could not altogether abolish, the
glaring grievance, would be exceedingly valuable,
not only to the parties who are defrauded by means
of such acceptances, but even more so to the un-
thinking and luckless young men, who seal their own
ruin the moment they become parties to such trans-
actions. It was with the hope of inflicting a heavy
blow and a great discouragement to the entire system,
of checking the "fatal facility" which has lured and will
still lure so many victim' to the sacrifice, that the re-
gulation was adopted and propagated. In that respect
the motive was unimpeachable, and we could scarcely
object to any
means that could achieve the great
desideratum.
But, as K e have already stated, we do
not believe that it would have the intended effect;
first, 6.—cause it would have been only partial in its
operation, and secondlyi because it would add to the
number of the tempters,_ by
se ld giving additional secu-
rity

tidemands,on sMen who become involved in

insolvency. They
are still disposed to hope a • gainst hope, to believe that
some almost miraculous occurrence will lead to the
liquidation of the liability. The hope may appear
perfectly absurd to any prudent and reflecting mind,
but it is indulged in ; and we are thoroughly con-
vinced that the only way of diminishing the evil —it
can never be wholly eradicated—is to direct all thel
powers of the tribunal against the creditors in place
of the debtors, unless the former can co
me into court
with perfectly clean hands, and show that their con-
duct in the transaction has been entirely blameless.
There will always be borrowers if lendels can be
met with. The latter are generally of prudent and
calculating dispositions, they g char e sufficient to
become their own insurers, and to provide amply
agai'nt any possible loss. But if satisfied that the
victim must undergo a lengthened imprisonment,
either by way of a remand or by the refusal of bail,
they will consider it as an additional guarantee and
enter morn freely into such transaction.
There is a wide difference between different classes
of accomn iodation bill,, A father may become in-
volved through a desire to save his child from 1
ruin, or a sell to rescue his parent. If the party to
whom the sEcurity is given be aware of the nature
of the transaction he cannot be injure d nor can
he justly c
omplain, of the conduct of his
debtor, of his
debtor, who may have been influenced by
the highest and purest feelings and l,ria
-i lea
Again, the' 'e may be cases where, although - c-13 - •
there are
no such extt muating circumstances, there is yet no I
deception, the creditor being pefectly co • gru
aant of
all the
circumstances of the transaction. There un-
questionably is ,a grievance, but both parties are in
fault, both are e b
ion yof punishment, but which will
best serve as an example to deter others from of-
fending in like minder.

We do not, c f course, allude to commercial
which tibould be treated in a
..totally different

LONDON,

way, but in those where professional money-
lenders are concerned, we believe that the
object whizh the Commissioners are dc-i-
-rous of achieving would be ba-st advanced by
reversing their former rule, and not only admitting
to hail, but discharging from custody every person
against whom no more serious charge can be pre-
ferred than that he has become a party to accommo-
dation bills.

The magistrates at Derby, after a careful investi-
gation into the charges against THOMAS MORGAN—
a bricklayer imported from Shrewsbury during the
recent election at Derby—have bound him over to
appear in due season. The charge is a very serious
one—that of actually bribing certain electors, and it
is alleged that he, in fact,
was caught in the very act.
The particulars of the case are interesting, and may
be brie fly stated.
In the ancient town of Shrewsbury there resides a
hair-dresser and barber named JOHN FRAIL, who
also is "clerk of the course" at the races there. This
person has been "concerned," for many veers pest,
in most of the contested elections in and near to the
county of Salop. It may be recollected that his
name was brought into public notice at the Ludlow
election inquiry in 1839-40. Although a man of
very scanty education, of profession not very exalted,
and of appearance not very inviting, FRAIL bas
been so fortunate (by reason of his election con-
nexions and tactics) to be on a footing of some inti-
macy with political personages in his own neighbour-
hood, and his fame having reached London, it is said
that he has got into correspondence with certain
eminent members of the Carlton Club—that famous
purity-of-election confederation !
On Thursday, on the inquiry at Derby, was pro-
duced an envelope, bearing the seal of the Cerlton
Club, addressed to " Mr. Jolter FRAIL, Clerk of the
Course, Shrewsbury," and containing the following
letter :
" A good and safe man with judgment and quickness
is wanted immediately at Derby. I suppose that you
cannot leave your own place—if not, send one whom
you can trust in your place. Let him go to Derby on
receiving this, and find the Ccunty Tavern in the centre
of the town. Send his card to Cox, Brothers, and
lead works—as coming from Chester. That will be
vv. B.
enough.--Yours,
" Monday."
Mr. JOHN KEOGH (brother to the excellent and
distinguished Member for Athlone) was examined at
Derby, and stated—" I reside at 85, King William-
street,l
was the secretary of the Reading and Reigate Rail-
way Company. Major WM. BERESFORD, the
Secretary at War, was the chairman of thepresent board of
member of the
directors. Major BERESFOUD is a
Carlton Club; he is the gentleman who sat for a di-
vision of the county of Essex, and who has been
again returned for that division. I have bad frequent
opportunities of seeing Major BERESFORD'a hand-
writing. The whole of the letter now produced is in
the handwriting of Major BERESFOUD. The direction
on the envelope is also his writing." This, we rather
M
think, fixes the authorship of the FRAIL epistle on
BERESFORD, of " rabble" celebrity, who holds
a public situation in the Ministry as Secretary at
War, and has another appointment quite as ostensible
as " Tory whipper.in:'
It would seem that the Salopian
friseur was unable
to comply with the urgent request of the Carlton
Club " polite letter-writer." FRAIL did NOT go to
Derby. Somebody else went--for, on the polling.
day, THOMAS MORGAN was caught in a back room at
the County Tavern, with gold and notes in bis posses-
sion to the value of some hundreds. The man thus
rejoicing in this plethora of cash is—a bricklayer!
But, in all likelihood, he was the "good and safe
man with judgment and quickness," whom W. B
" wanted immediately at Derby."
It appeared, from the evidence, that Police-sergeant
FEARN, of Derby, apprehended MORGAN, on the Bth
inst., having got into his room by using certain pass-
words which had been confided to him—we presume,
by some one who had " split;" that be found the
money on his person ; that he also found a card in-
scribed " Mr. T. MORGAN, Chester;" that, the next
day, the prisoner said—
His name was Thomas Morgan; but that he did not
come from Chester. The reason why he put Chester
upon the card was because Frail wished him to do so. lln
then said that ho came to Derby on Tuesday; that Frail
sent for him, and said he wanted him to come to Derby
to the election; and ho (Frail) gave him tho letter, and
that he came direct to the County Tavern according to
his instructions. That when he got there he sent his
card to Cox, Brothers, and Co,, as the lead works; that
he did not know them at all, and, therefore, did not
know if he had ever seen them. That nobody came to
him for two days. He said the gold in the bags was no
more his than mine. The loose gold was his. One bag
of gold was brought to him over night at the County
Tavern, and the other bog of gold and the notes on the
following morning. They were given to him in a dark
room, but he did not think he should be able to identify
the man who brought them. He also told me that he
was to wait in tho room and pay the money to persons
who brought cheques; which he did, and entered it in
the book with the numbers. As be was a stranger here,
he did not know whether they were electors or not."

(to quote the very words)—

4, He they repeated to me, that Frail had sent him to
Derby; be said he thought he was coming to D..rby to
be a poll-clerk; if he had known that they had wanted
him for the job he was come for he would have seen
them d—d before he had come; be said be was vic-
timised. I then said to Mellor, Why, that letter has
no post-mark upon it.' The prisoner said, But there's
the seal, that has not been broken.' I said, the letter
has been opened; he said, The seat has not been broken,
and the crest is upon it, and that will tell where it came
from.' He said the money was not his, but that as it
was given to him he bhould claim it. He said, that
many a man fixed as he was would have gone off with
the money. He told me he was a bricklayer, and came
from Shrewsbury. He slid there were three newspapers
'in ShreA sbory; one would expose him, and the other
two would try to smother it up. He said, there was a
new law for bribery, but he did not know what it was;
he s!.id he expected they would make a witness of him,
and he should speak the truth. He said, the figures in
the book was the amount of money that he had paid,
and the numbers; that if we had not found the book we
should have been bothered. Ho said,.the figures were
in his handwriting."

A voter named Smturtocx proved that he had
voted for HOMSFALL, the Tory candidate, on a pro-
mise of Two Pounds—that he then went up-stairs to
a back-room in the County Tavern, where (he says)
—"I found a man at the top of the stairs ; he allowed
the stoutish man to pass by him into a room at the top
of the stain., but he would not allow me to pass. The
stoutish man remained in the room two or three
minutes, when he came out again, and called me up
to the door, and putting his hand on my shoulder,
turned me round with my back towards the door, the
stoutish man put my right hand behind m?, the door
was opened, and some one in the room put two sove-
reigns in my hand. I was not allowed to see the
person who put the sovereigns in my hand ; the per-
son inside the room shut the door, and I went down
stairs." The room at the door of which SHARROCK
received the two pounds was that in which MORGAN
was apprehended.

As to the facts there can be no doubt. The pay-
ment to SHARROCK is marked off in the briber's
bank, and the briber (who seamed to think that his
Salopian employer had led him into jeopardy) has
admitted the truth of the evidence adduced. He
promised,
in his fright, that he would tell the truth. He
may, if ever produced before a Parliamentary Com-
mittee. But is it probable that this MoRGAN will be
allowed to remain in England ? He is personally
