ELECTION COMMITTEES.-•(THIS DAY.)

TAUNTON.

The committee sat again this morning to inquire into
the cross-petition against the return of Sir Thomas Cole-
brooke, Mr. Mills having yesterday been unseated by
the resolution of the committee.

Mr. Montague Smith stated that the petition was
founded upon allegations of bribery and treating —that
21., 31., and even 101. had been offered to voters to
vote for Sir Thomas E. Colebrooke, and that a large
breakfast had been given to voters at the house of a Mr.
Smith. The fair sex had also been induced to exercise an
undue influence over the minds of their husbands, by va-
rious presents of money, in some cases so much as
201. and 301. having been promised. One method of
distributing the bribes to voters had been accidentally to
drop sovereigns on the floor. It was on these grounds
that the petition was based. The learned counsel then
proceeded to call witnesses.

Mrs. Peppins deposed that she had been promised 71.
for her husband's vote, but he had said that he would
not sell his vote for 201.

The case was proceeding when our report left.

COCKERMOUTIT.
The committee resumed at 11 o'clock this morning.
Sir Walter Riddle proceeded to sum up the case for
the petitioners.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY _EVENING, APRIL 14,

about the most accessible of all the gold-fields to
persons setting out in search of the precious metal
from Melbourne. Nevertheless, what is the ac-
count furnished of the difficulties encountered in
going thither, and furnished, too, remember, by
WILLIAM HOwITT, one of the most credible and
intelligent of modern travellers ? Why, he tells
us plainly that no less than " two months" were
consumed in making that " arduous and eventful
journey." Two months in going over ground
estimated by some people at 150 miles, by others
at 200, by others again at 250, but believed to
be 280 miles, according to his own ideas of ac-
curate measurement ! And, says he, with an
almost audible sigh, or rather groan, " such
ground !" Scarcely any roads—what roads there
are, are broken and dilapidated—running down
into gullies—straggling over hill, or, as.we should
possibly term them in this country, mountain after
mountain—the earth parched, the foliage " bluer
and bluer," and barely anywhere the scantiest ves-
tige of the wholesome verdure of vegetation. Hav-
ing surmounted all the obstacles lying in their
path along this miserable route, the adventurers
discover themselves to have, at last, arrived at
the object of all their melancholy wanderings.
Here, however, many of them, it is true,
soon meet with ample compensation. If they
don't always light at once upon a nugget weighing
so many pounds of solid gold, they come upon
sand that yields them bowl after bowl of gold-
dust, after being loosely washed in a clumsy little
rocker, consisting, perhaps, of a small painted
cradle. ' But, then, they have to live among the
abominable stenches reeking from the garbage-pits
and the butchers' shops, ou the banks of some
creek or rivulet, described by Mr. HOWITT some-
what significantly, as no " longer translucent."
Everything in the way of personal discomfort,
however, is quickly forgotten by the diggers
if they can only contrive to stumble upon a
bushel or two of that delectable gold-dust, or
upon a solitary specimen of those delicious
nuggets. Rewarded by this good fortune for all
their past sufferings, they soon learn to catch the
fleeting pleasures, loving anew those dear old
words of their schoolboy-days--carps diem, quam
minimum credula postero. They exult in the
merry song of their tea-kettle, more delightedly
than the veriest winebibber at home could do over]
the sparkling of a glass of toquay, or of a flask!
of the rarest chateau-margeaux. Their hearts are
dancing if they can only crisp a few additional
rice biscuits. They are as happy as kings if they
can only buy a basket of dried apples to celebrate
with a pie or a pudding the festivities of Christ-
mas. Such are a few among the pains and plea-
sures encountered by the swarm of gold diggers
flocking *inland from the port of Melbourne.
Would it not be well for all future emigrants
from England if they weighed rather more
cautiously than their predecessors the good and
the ill awaiting them on their arrival in what
might now be called truthfully, though antitheti-
cally, the populous solitudes of Australia.

London, England, 1853-04-14

about the most accessible of all the gold-fields to
persons setting out in search of the precious metal
from Melbourne. Nevertheless, what is the ac-
count furnished of the difficulties encountered in
going thither, and furnished, too, remember, by
WILLIAM HOWITT, one of the most credible and
intelligent of modern travellers ? Why, he tells
us plainly that no less than " two men ths" were
consumed in making that " arduous and eventful
journey." Two months in going over ground
estimated by some people at 150 miles, by others
at 200, by others again at 250, but believed to
be 280 miles, according to his own ideas of ac-
curate measurement ! And, says he, with an
almost audible sigh, or rather groan, " such
ground !" Scarcely any roads—what roads there
are, are broken and dilapidated—running down
into gullies—straggling over hill, or, as we should
possibly term them in this country, mountain after
mountain—the earth parched, the foliage " bluer
and bluer," and barely anywhere the scantiest ves-
' tige of the wholesome verdure of vegetation. Hav-
ing surmounted all the obstacles lying in their
path along this miserable route, tb.e adventurers
discover themselves to have, at last, arrived at
the object of all their melancholy wanderings.
Here, however, many of them, it is true,
soon meet with ample compensation. If they
don't always light at once upon a nugget weighing
so many pounds of solid gold, they come upon
sand that yields them bowl after bowl of gold-
dust, after being loosely washed in a clumsy little
rocker, consisting, perhaps, of a small painted
cradle. But, then, they have to live among the
abominable stenches reeking from the garbage-pits
and the butchers' shops, ou the banks, of some
creek or rivulet, described by Mr. HOWITT some-
what significantly, as no " longer translucent."
Everything in the way of personal discomfort,
however, is quickly forgotten by the diggers
•if they can ,only contrive to stumble upon a
bushel or two ' of tha* delectable gold-dust, or
upon a solitary specii en. of those delicious
nuggets. Rewarded by this good fortune for all
their past sufferings, they soon learn to catch the
fleeting pleasures, loving anew those dear old
words of their schoolboy-days—carps diem, quam
minimum credula postern. They exult in the
merry song of their tea-kettle, more delightedly
than the veriest winebibber at home could do over
the sparkling of a glass of toquay, or of a flask
of the rarest chateau-margeaux. Their hearts are
dancing if they can only crisp a few additional
rice biscuits. They are as happy as kings if they
can only buy a basket of dried apples to celebrate
with a pie or a pudding the festivities of Christ-
mas. Such are a few among the pains and plea-
sures encountered by the swarm of gold diggers
flocking inland from the port of Melbourne.
Would it not be well., for all future emigrants
from England if they weighed rather more
cautiously than their predecessors the good and
the ill awaiting them on their arrival in what
might now be called truthfully, though antitheti-
cally, the populous solitudes of Australia.

RYE

The committee to inquire further into the petition
which unseated Mr. Mackinnon for this borough, met
this morning at 12 o'clock.
Mr. Alexander stated, that since the committee first
assembled, an inquiry had been instituted into all the
cases of bribery alleged on both sides, at the late elec-
tion. The agent to conduct this inquiry had made a
discovery of a corrupt practice which had existed in Rye
since the Reform Act. It was based upon a system of
loans to voters, thus giving the lender a control over the
voter. These loans have been used for the advantage of
many candidates since the time of the Reform Bill.
Major Curtis was returned for Rye, after the Reform Bill,
at an expense of 4,0001., expended by Jeremiah "Smith.
Such a sum must have been illegally spent. A " portion"
of it was advanced to establish this loan system, which
has prevailed ever since.

The learned counsel was proceeding when our report
Left.

TYNE MOUTH.

At the re-assembling of the committee this morning,
Miss Storey, landlady of the Albion, was re-called, and
aross-examined by Mr. Slade. She stated that the 3001.,
to which her bill amounted, included rent for the com-
mittee-room for 15 months, at two guineas a week. It
also included the refreshments consumed by the com-
mittee during that time. No order was given by the
committee to prepare breakfasts on the polling day ; in
fact, the sitting member's agent refused to give any
order. Witness did a ready-money business to a larger
amount than the account, which she sent into Mr. Tay-
lor's committee. She considered that she would have
done much better had Mr. Taylor's committee not en-
gaged h.r house.
Mr. Beasmont, the landlord of the Bath Hotel, was
under examination when our report left.

HYTHE.—The town council of this borough, are
making great efforts to place this town in that position
as a watering-place, to which, from its favoured locality
it is so justly entitled. The Lords of the Treasury have
sanctioned the sale of a considerable quantity of the
corporate land, for the purpose of raising funds to erect
bates, and carry out other sanitary improvements in
the town. The government having purchased nearly
200 acres of the corporation land, it is intended to make
Hythe the depot for the Minie rifle ball practice. The
necessary buildings are now erecting, and the lancl
is
preparing, and as the Chobhana encampment is now
dis-
banded, it is expected that in the course of the present
week 15 or 20 officers, with a corresponding number of
privates and non-commissioned officers will arrive to
commence the ball practice,

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of J 11f FS MORISON, the ilygeist,
with the reasons that led him to the discovery of the Hygeian System
of Medicine and the V.-getehle Universal Medicine ( ori-on's Pills),
after thirty-five years of inexpressible suffering under the medical
faculty :—" James Morison, I.he youngw:t son of Alexander Mori-
son, Esq., was born at Bognie in tie county of Aberdeen, in. the
year 1770. The family has bean long known as sine of great a fliu-
enee and respectability, and the sub;ect f thi- brief sketch was the
second brother of Join Vforison la;:e member for Banffshire. In
early life he studl:ti at the University 'if Aberdeen, and after-
wards at Hanau, in Germany, being intendsr for the mercan-
til- profession. After finishing is studies, he resided at Rig.i,
as a merchant, and cub equently in the West Indies, where
he acquired considerable We-t India property. having suffered
much from ill health, he wit+ otiligsd to leave that country a d pro-
ceed ti Europe, seeking ir m change oi clime a restoration to
health. a e cannot do better than descr be the foll wing interesting
particulars given by himself in the Morisornana:—" A tierty-five
years' inexpressib'e suffering, both of body and mind, is an event
too. which falls bet to the 105 of lbw, if of any at ail. Had it pie
God to have called me out of this world eight years atm, I shnuld
have died as ,inothe- man, and teen forgotten, and the world could
have reaped no benefit fr im my case and misfortunes nor from the
favourable effects pro 'wed by the same means on childeen. This
is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a convincing
proof of the motto p efixed to this advice, that Health and obi age
aro within the reach of us ail.'" For the remainder of the biography
