ELECTION EXPENSES.

Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY obtained leave to bring in
a bill for further diminishing the expenses of elections of
members to serve in Parliament.
BOROUGH OF TYNEMOUTH.

Sir B. HALL moved that an address should be presented
to her Majesty, praying that het Majesty would be gra-
ciously pleased to order a commission to issue to inquire
into the corrupt practices which took place at the last
election for the borough of Tynemouth. The committee
found that a system of corruption 17 tickets, called refresh-
ment tickets, had extensively prevailed at the elections for
the borough of Tynemoutli, and that the expenses of the
sitting member had at the last election been 1,9001. The
committee had not been able to make a full inquiry into
the subject, because the moment that agency was proved
the sit king member 'retired ; but the impression left upon
thend of the committee was that not only extensive
treating, but extensive bribery of such a character as was
contemplated in the act, had prevailed in this borough.
In bringing forward this motion he was merely performing
a ministerial act in compliance with a unanimous resolu-
tion of the committee.

After a few words from Mr. MOFFATT, the resolution
was agreed to ; and it was ordered that no writ should be
issued for the borough of Tynemouth until the 2d of June.

BERWICK ELECTION.

Mr. T. MITCHELL moved for a select committee to in-
quire into the circumstances attending the prosecution of
the petition against the last return for the borough of Ber-
wick. In support of the motion the hon. member shortly
stated the proceedings which had taken place, and referred
to a proposal which had been made by Mr. Hodgson Hindo,
the brother of Mr. Hodgson, the petitioner, to compromise
the petition against Mr. Foster, for 2,0001., at a time before
any of the legitimate expenses connected with the petition
had been incurred. That fact alone was sufficient tojustify
inquiry, and he hoped the house would consent to it in
order that the facts might be ascertained bayond disputes
and some means taken to prevent the recurrence of liko
practices.—The motion was agreed to.
The house then adjourned at two o'clock.

THE SIAMESE TWINS.—The Siamese twins are exhi-
biting themselves in New York. They are now 42 years
of age, but "do not show any marks of age, and are
even more lively than in former years." They have en-
tirely forgotten their native language, anal converse only
in English. The twins are accompanied by two fpf their
children, a boy and a girl.
