GALWAY.

The Committee met at one o'clock. Lord Viscount MORPETII in the

Mr. 1 lIESIGER opened the case for the petitioners, stating that the
two questions which would be submitted to the Committee were—first,
whether Mr. Lynch was disqualified from sitting in Parliament by his
having been appointed a Master in Chancery; and secondly, whether
notice having been given to the electors of such disqualification, the
votes of Mr. Lynch were rendered null and void. Mr. Lynch had been
appointed Master in Chancery on the 6th February, but the election
,:.)mmenced on the 12th. The numbers were—
For Mr. Lynch..
Sir V. Blake
Majority for Mr. Lyneh....... 286
It would be proved that distinct notice had been given to the
electors of Mr. Lynch's disqualification, by a clear provision the
Act of Parliament; and, under these circumstances the Learned Counsel
argued (citing several cases in support of his argument) that all the
votes polled for Mr. Lynch were essentially bad, and that the elec_
tion must be declared to have fallen upon Sir V. Blake. Now the
main question undoubtedly was, whether the office of Master in
Chancery came within the prohibitory provisions of the 6th of Anne.
The Masters in Chancery attended the House of Lords as messengers to
the Commons. In ancient times they were summoned to the Upper House,
as also, in olden times, was the Attorney-General. And till compara-
' tvely a late period, neither that law officer, nor any judge could sit in
the House of Commons. As no objection, however, bad ever made to
the sitting of Masters in Chancery in the House of Commons on this
ground, it was perhaps too late to snake an objection on principle.
But, by statutes regulating the office of Master in Chancery,
the Learned Counsel contended that the disqualification was created.
The 3d and 4th Wmilliam IV., vested the appointment to the office
of Master in Chancery in the Crown, and a salary of 2,0001. fixed.
By the Act of Settlement, persons holding any office or pension under
the Crown, were excluded from the House of Commons. The 4th Anne
(before the Union), the provisions of which were copied into the oth
Anne (rendered necessary by the Union), repealed the sweeping exclu.
sion, excepting in certain cases, and the 25th section of the Act
provided that no person holding any office of profit under the Crown,
which shall since Oct. 25, 1705, have become created or erected, shell
be capable, of sitting and voting, or of being elected a Member of Parlia-
ti:hisac3nt3t.,oflibylcle3seactna';e4nsw‘evilticil,oli.nnittNeh,n;ed that the word" created" meant "cease to
exist,"and that the word "erected" meant "establish anew,"or "settle"and
that the appointment to the office of Master in Chancery having in
hlaeTerforofthtel efisrest e
two veste vested

that
haling been " settled anew" since 1705, it might be correctly said to
have been " erected" since that time. He therefore contended that the
office was clearly within the terms of the disqualifying provision of the
6th Anne.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

HUNGERFORD MARRET.

Fish to-day were rather dearer. Turbot, ss. to 18s. and 19s. ; Soles,
D. to as. per pair; Cod, Is. 6d. and 2s. and 6s. ; Salmon, Is. 6d. per
lit—the best considerably higher. Meat—weather unfavourable to
trade. Beef, 6id. to 8c1.; Mutton, 7d. to Bd.; Veal, Bd. to 9id.; Pork,
7d. to Sid. Vegetables in fair supply and price, without any variation,
this being a retail market. Hay and Clover fetch much the same money
as before.

BILLINGSGATE MARKET.
The supply of Fish was no,
quite so good to.day, and prices were
rather higher. Turbot 4s. to 20s. ; Soles 9d. to 3s. per pair ; Lobsters
Is, sd. to 3s. for good ; Salmon Is. for the lowest, up to 4s. per lb. for
the best; Cod Is. to ss. each ; Mackerel 3d. to Sd. each.

HAY MARKETS.
The demand for dry provender continues, and the supplies every way
are adequate to meet it; prices much as before. Meadow Hay, 90s. to
1055.; Clover ditto, 105 s. to 1155.; Straw, 38s. to 445.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
There is still in this great department of business that dearth of de.
mand for which this market, in common with most of the wholesale
markets, has for some time been characterized. To.day the sales
were very insignificant,
bales of St. Domingo Coffee, and 25 bags
consisting only of 178 hhds. and 25 trs. of New
Barbadoes Sugar 804
Pimento. The Sugar Market was inanimate, much as quoted yesterday
hut prices not lower. Brown, British plantation 525. to 555. 6d.
Yellow, low and
,
good, 58s. to 625. lid. ; fine, 625. to 650. Barbadoes
s:ad at 595. to 665. according to quality. Fine crushed refined Sugar at
355. We have heard this morning that the David Morns, on her way
1.5 out Jamaica with 700 casks of Coffee, is totally lost. This, though a
rest loss to some individuals is too small to affect the market. The
rarcel of 804 bags of St. Domingo put up to-day, did not all sell;
vilat scent fetched former prices, say 425. to 445., for ordinary
1) good ordinary, In fact the whole of the Colonial Market
is now in that stupid state, that it is difficult to conceive from
,ner The large arrivals have caused this department to be depressed.
whenee the power is to come that is to move it. Tea is flat but not
Pimento fetched much about former prices. Every other commodity
seems motionless. For to-morrow the public sales are very light, corn_
',rising only about 244 boxes Havannah Sugar, 1,200 bags East India
Rice, 1,000 bags• Mauritius Sugar, and about 1,500 bales Madras, Surat,
and American Cotton. The imports to-day are light.
LIVERPOOL COTTON al RKET, MAT 23.
There has been a good demand for Cotton again to. day, and we are
.ad to add a small advance in price, since fd. since Friday ; the sales
.ave been chiefly American, and speculators have taken about 1,000
lyags of good fair—the total amount of the sales exceeds 4,500 bags.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.—Great exertions are
•raking by the Tories of Marylebone, under the guise of Reformers
calling themselves the " Marylebone Association," to procure the elec-
t ion of antLreformers as Vestrymen of Marylebone. They wish to turn
~ut the Reformers, who have in that parish, within six years reduced the
rates from 156,000/ to 84,000!. per annum ; but the list of candidates
hey support contains no less than thirty-seven out of forty of persons
•rho voted for Lord Teignmouth. The parishioners are not, we are
sure, to be caught by such worthless chaff, and are much ton wise to
;;iveup the substantial benefits of their reformed vestry for the empty
promises of the Conservatives.
