TRANSPORTATION FOR LIFE BILL.

On clause 6 being moved,
Lord LYNDH UR ST proposed, as an amendment, that,
after the words "on board the same," should be introduced
the words "whoever shall by force impede any one will was
trying to save his life, whether he was still on board or had
quitted the vessel." He thought the crime of preventing a
wrecked man from saving his life was certainly deserving of
transportation for life.
Agt eed to.
The other clauses were agreed to, and the report was or-
dered to be brought up to-morrow.

THE PIRACY BILL.
This Bill, after a few remarks from Ehe Marcuis of BUT,

passed through the Committee, and was ordered to be reported
ttmtiorrott.

Bill. They might as well repeal the punishment of Uatii
for treason as for some of the offences from which that punish.
ment was removed by the present Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM said that in the present exhausted
Rate of the House it would be better that his Noble and
Leartied Friend should allow the Bill to be read a second
time, and tahe the debate to which his opposition would give
Fitt, to4i-itirfdvi• tilt 'hying into Committee.
Lord WYN FORD could not alto* tilt! BEI to be read a
second time without protesting against it. He could not Coil;
cur in withdrawing the capital penalty in such cases as the
destruction of dock-yards, or tampering with the y o r
navy.
Lord LYNDHURST said that this Bill had not been
sect up with other Bills.
Lord WYNFORD said the Bill had not come up until
the 9th of July.
Lord BROUGHAM thought they ought not to go to a
prorogation until this Bill was passed.
The Duke of WELLINGTON would not wish to inter-
fere with the progress of the public business, but he thought it
could be no inconvenience if the second reading of the Bill
were postponed until to-morrow, as the prorogation could not
take place before Saturday.
Lord BROUGH AM said that, considering the state of the
judicial as well as the general business of the House, he did
not sec how the prorogation could take place so early as Sa-
turday.

Lord LYNDHURST said that during the five months and
a half which Parliament had sat there had been forty-five
Bills passsed in the other House, forty of which had-been
sent up to their Lordships only within the last fortnight. It
was impossible to give them all due consideration.

After a short conversation,
Lord WYNFO LW agreed to allow the Bill to be read a
second time, on the understanding that he protested against
the Bill, and that the discussion should be taken in going
into Committee.

Viscount MELBOURNE understood the Noble and
Learned Lord's acquiescence to be an accommodation under
protest.
The Bill was then read a second time.
The Coroners ( Durham) Bill and the Municipal Rates
Bill were severally read a second time.
The report of the Ecclesiastical Appointments Suspension
Bill was brought up.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at Ten o'Clock.

PREPARATIONS for the GENERAL

ELECTION.

ESSEX.—During the past week the three candidates for the
Southern Division of this county, Messrs. Bramston and
Palmer, and Mr. Branfill have been engaged in canvassing the
electors. We stated, in our last, that Sir John Tyrell was
about to retire from the Northern Division, but the Honourable
Baronet has since addressed the electors, declaring his deter-
mination to offer himself again. Mr. Elwes retires, and his
place is filled by C. G. Round, Esq., of Birch Hall, one of
the Chairmen of the Quarter Sessions. The names of J.
G. Rebow and other gentlemen have been mentioned as likely
to start in the Liberal interest, but no formal announcement
has yet been made.
John Round, Esq., of Danbury-place, has announced his
intention of becoming a candidate for Maldon, in conjunction
with Q. Dick, Esq. The contest will probably be a severe
one ; at the last election, Mr. Lennard was returned by a ma-
jority of 51 over Mr. Mildmay.
At Colchester, Sir G. H. Smyth and Mr. Sanderson are
the only candidates actually in the field. The Hon. Members
yesterday commenced their canvass. At present no Liberal
candidate has come forward, but it is stated that a gentleman
who sat for Honiton, in the first Reformed Parliament, will
solicit the suffrages of the electors.
For Harwich, two Reformers, Capt. A. Ellice, brother of
the Right Hon. E. Ellice, and Mr. Tower have taken the field
against Messrs. Herries and Bonham. Captain Verner, the
candidate at the last election, is exerting himself for Captain
Ellice.—Essex Herald of this day.
ISLE OF WionT.—Captain Pelham contests this island on
Reform principles in the room of Sir R. Simeon against Mr.
Holmes.

TAtINTON.—The Somerset Gazette states that Mr. Labou-
chcre is safe ; the contest lies between Mr. Bainbridge and
Mr. Lee, the Tories relying upon being able to oust Mr.
Labouchere next time, if they can but put one foot in by the
present election.
WEST SOMERSET.—The Tories have prevailed on Mr.
T. D. Acland, a mere boy, to offer himself as a candidate for
West Somerset, against the present Members, and a very ac-
tive canvass has been commenced by them in his favour.
Sandford and Tynte, the sitting Members, however, will, one
and all, be supported by the farmers. The contest will pro-
bably be a sharp one.
SUNDERLAND.—The enthusiasm for Mr. Andrew White and
Mr. Bsrclay is such as to warrant the assertion that their re-
turn is perfectly secure. Mr. Alderman Thompson has but
slight grounds for hope, and he secs it. A Correspondent of
the Sunderland Herald says—" If any thing was required to
prove the Alderman's character, dubious and unworthy of
trust as a politician, it might be found in his close and intimate
connection with Wright—a man who, after having once
ranked high amongst the Reformers of Sunderland, suddenly
changed his views and became an ultra-Tory. And yet this
man is Mr. Thompson's most active agent 1 And how mean
and oppressive are their practices 1 A few days ago they
threatened an elector that unless he voted for Thompson, his
rent should be raised from 121. to 201., his landlord being one
of Thompson's partisans."
STOKE-UPON-TRENT.—Messrs. Davenport and Copeland's
Committee have issued a notice that the procession of their
party through the Potteries will take place on Tucsday, the
11 th instant. The friends of these gentlemen will assemble
at Stoke early on that morning, and then proceed to Lane-
end, and from thence through the district, to Tunstall. The
procession will return to Buralem, and break up at the Mar-
ket-hall.

RIPON. —Sir J. C. Dalbiac retires from the representation
of Ripon, and Sir E. Sugdcn will be elected in his place.
Miss Laurence's pig-sty votes (see Report of the Bribery and
Intimidation Committee) will be as worthily represented by
the one as the other. . . _

WALSALL.—F. Finch, Esq., is canvassing in opposition to
the Tory Mr. Forster, whose friends are exerting themselves
to I romote his re-election.
LIVERPOOL—The canvas for Ewart and Elphinstone is
proceeding most successfully. Every thing indicates the
triumphant return of the Liberal candidates on the day of
election, which will occur in the course of the next fortnight.
" Esvart and Elphinstone for ever I and no mistake l"—Albion.
SALFORD. —Garnett will be distanced. The Manchester
Guardian says that " the returns to Mr. Brotherton's Com-
mittee, of the state of the canvass, are such as to leave no
doubt of his re-election for that borough, which he has served
with so much fidelity."
ROCIIDALR..—The Tories do not appear at all desirous of
expending another 3,0001. upon the borough. No Conserva-
tive Candidate has, up to this time, made his appearance.
Sours LANCASHIRE.—We announced in our last Satur-
day's number the determination of the Reformers of this divi-
sion to bring out two candidates of their own principles
to represent them at the approaching election ; and that
Mr. Stanley, of Cross Hall, saving consented to stand for-
ward as one of them, Mr. Charles Towneley had been ap-
plied to, to become the other. This division is now, there-
fore, on the cve of another and a desperate contest. There
are eighteen thousand electors.—Aluncliester Guardian.
In consequence of the retirement of Mr. Gisborne, Mr.
Evans, than whom a more honourable man, and consistent po-
litician does not exist, has signified his intention of soliciting
the suffrages of the electors.—North Devon Chronicle.
RADNORSHIRE.—It is uncertain whether the Conservatives
in this county can again impose on the credulity of Sir John
Walsh, and induce him to contest the representation with the
present member, Mr. Wilkins ; but it is certain that, in that
event, the same glorious result will attend the exertions of the
electors of Radnorshire in 1837, which so nobly crowned their
efforts in 1835.

BRECON BOROUGII.--11fr. Morgan, the present Tory mem-
ber will not be allowed to walk over the course. Mr. Lloyd
of Dines, has come forward in the Liberal interest.
BRIICON COUNTY.—The spirited Major Gwynne Belford
will be found at his post ; he has strong claims on the united
exertions of the Liberals.
MONMOUTTISIIIRE.—There is no talk of a contest for this
county, Mr. Blewitt a Reformer, and Mr. Bailey, jun., a
Tory, are candidates for the joint boroughs of Newport, Mon-
mouth, and Usk. The friends of Mr. Blewitt arc very san-
guine, but there is a very long purse opposed to him. There
must be exertions before all is safe.
NORTH DIRBYSIIIRS.—Mr. Arkwright and his partizans
have been actively canvassing some parts at least of North
Derbyshire for more than a week. Mr. Cavendish is still at-
tending his parliamentary duties. With respect to Mr. Ca-
vendish we cannot conceive that the electors could, under any
circumstances, forget his very great merits as their representa-
tive. Mr. Cavendish is not one of those members of the
aristocracy who, under the constant pressure of a reforming
constituency, doles out by driblets the least possible measure
of Reform.

CARmawritENsiim.—The Tories threaten to bring forward
another candidate for this county, in conjunction with Col.
Trevor, but Sir James Williams, the present excellent Mem-
ber, with the aid of the "grey coats," is sure of his scat. The
Tories will fight in vain.
The Carnarvon Herald assures electors, that " Candidates
on Reform principles will solicit their suffrages in Denbigh-
shire and Carnarvonshire, under the highest auspices. Union
acid action—and the representation will be rescued from the
dictation of Toryism."
