ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(YESTERDAY.)

(From our Second Edition of last night.)
S H A FTE SHUR Y.
The Committee had not come to a decision alien they ad.
journed.

HULL.
The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock.
Edward Stephenson was the first objection gone into. It
appeared from the evidence of Thomas Padley, that the voter
told him he had received two sovereigns for his vote from Mr.
Charles Hammond.—Vote struck off.

William Cooper, of Stoneferry, was next objected to.
Thomas Adamson deposed, that the voter had died since the
last election—that in the course of conversation with him in
September last, he stated that he had received a suit of clothes
and is. from Mr. Charles Hammond, to vote for the Blues.
Vote struck off.

The vote of John Savage was next objected to on the
ground of his having received a bribe from Mr. Dryden,
solicitor. The voter was examined at great length, as to a
transaction which had taken place about the time of the elec-
tion in, 1835, when the voter being in difficulties, came in cola_
tact with Mr. Dryden, who paid the amount of his debt and costs
taking a note for the amount. A few days bofore the late
election, the voter met Mr. Dryden in the street, and came to an
understanding with him that if be gave his rote for the Blues
he would hear no more of the Bill. Towards the latter part
of the year, however, a distress was put into his house, and his
goods were sold.
Mr. Rollit, clerk to Mr. Dryden, was then called, and con-
tradicted the voter in several statements which he had made.
The examination had not concluded at Four o'clock, when
the Committee adjourned.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, lITARcm 27.
The Gallery was not opened to-day till twenty minutes
past Four o'clock, in consequence of the Ballot for a Commit-
tee to try the merits of the Kinsale Election Petition.
The Gallery was then cleared that the Ballot on the Wor-
cester Election Petition might proceed ; but the order was
eventually discharged, and no Ballot took place, as the parties
did net appear.
On re-entering the Gallery we found Members presenting
petitions against Negro Apprenticeship.
GLASGOW WATER WORKS.
Mr. CHALMERS gave notice of a motion for to-morrow,
to refer the petition presented by Sir J. G. Craig respecting
the Glasgow Water Works Bill, to the Committee on that Bill.
IGLASGOW WATER MONOPOLY.

Mr. DENISTO UN presented a petition signed in the
short space of three days by above 30,000 of the inhabitants of
Glasgow against the Glasgow Water Works Bill, as a mea-
sure to create an oppressive monopoly in the supply of water,
and place the community of that great city on short allowance
of diet most important necessary of life, instead of a constant
supply which the inhabitants have enjoyed for the last thirty
years. The Hon. Member also presented petitions from the
Glasgow Board of Police, the Magistrates of Anderston, the
Magistrates of Gorbals, the Police of Gorbals, John Birkmyre,
of the Glasgow Police Board, and John Boyle Gray and John
Douglas, against the Bill.
