DUBLIN ELECTION,

Lord STORMONT said he had informed the Right Hon. Se-
cretary for Ireland that he had a question to ask him in his
place that day, and had received a communication from the Right
Hon. Gentleman, stating that it was impossible for him to attend
in the House that day, but that any Member of his Majesty's Go-
vernment would be happy to give sum any information in their
power. From accounts he had received from Ireland that day,
he understood that the same system of interference on the part
of the Government of Ireland that was practised at the last Dublin
election was again going on; and he wished the Noble Lord to
disclaim it, and put a stop to it at once.
Lord ALTHORP said he knew nothing of any interference on
the part of the Government of Ireland with the election of Dub-
lin. He had not heard the subject mentioned before.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he bad letters from Dublin the last
hour of post, which enabled him to say that there was no inter-
ference on the part of Government. Ile Anti-Reformers, in-
deed, had resorted to an extraordinary proceeding; they hacfpla-
carded Dublin with assertions that the present Ministers were
immediately to go out of office, and then the supporters of the
Corporation candidates were to be high in favour with the Anti.
Reforming Ministry.—(A laugh.)
Lord STORMONT said, he remembered on the last election
for Dublin it had been deniedby Government that there was any
interference on their part, and yet it was afterwards proved before
the Committee. He thought some Member of. the Government
should write to Dublin to.night, to put a stop to the interference
that was going on.—(A laugh.)
Mr. LEFROY said he had intended to put the question that
was just, put by the Noble Lord. The interference on the part of
Government was notorious. A police magistrate had been written
to, to come from the country to propose one of the Government
candidates ; and the Under-Secretary of State, Sir William Gosset,
was actively canvassing for the Government candidates.—(Hear,
hear, from the Opposition.) He hoped his Majesty's Ministers
would immediately make some declaration that would put an end
to such proceedings, which he was confident must be their wish
should not be persevered in.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he could explain what was called inter-
' ference with a police Magistrate. The Committee of Mr.
O'Loughlin and Mr. Latouche waited on Alderman Darley, who
had voted for the Reform candidates, and proposed one of them I
on the last election ; and this was what was called interference.
He hoped Government would not say that they would net inter-
fere, as proposed by the Noble Lord, for that would be to admit
his charge, that they had been interfering. What the Secretary
for Ireland had said on the occasion of the former election was
not as stated by the Noble Lord, that there had been no inter-
ference,
but that there had never been an election in Dublin in
which there had been so little interference. What was really
asked by the Noble Lord was, that Ministers should interfere for
the Corporation candidates. They had, no doubt, often heard of
such interference, and even of considerable sums of money hav-
ing been so exnded.
Lord MILTON thought Government should keep wholly free
from any interference ; and if they were to write such a letter as
proposed by the Noble Lord, the effect would be to interfere.
Mr. CRAMPTON said, this was a mere election trick, resorted
to for the purpose of injuring the Reform candidates. He was
confident :the Noble Lord, and the Learned and Hon. Gentle-
man, were but instruments in the hands ofothers, by whom they
were misinformed. 'The Hon. Member for Kerry had answered
one part of the charge, and of the facts. He was confident the
charge against Sir Wm. Gosset was unfounded, and he thought
the name of his calumniator should not be concealed.—(Hear.)
Mr. LEFROY asserted lie had his information from a private
friend, who was incapable of misrepresentation ; and his state-
ment was perfectly consistent with what was Said by the Hon.
Member for Kerry, respecting the application of Alderman Dar-
ley; but he stated more—that Sir Wm. Gosset had written to
Alderman Darley to come to town to propose one of the Govern-
ment candidates, and that he went about Dublin canvassing for
the Government candidates. When this statement was made
on such testimony, he thought it quite unbecoming to call it an
electioneering trick.
Mr. CRAMPTON was far from intending to cast any imputa-
tion either on the Learned Gentleman or on the Noble Lord who
had introduced the subject ; but he must persist in considering
the letters the Hon. Gentleman and the Noble Lord had re-
ceived as an election trick on the part of the Corporation can-
didates. Alderman Darley was a consistent Reformer, and there-
fore it was quite natural, and in accordance with his own prin.
ciples, that he should he called on to propose a Reform candidate.
Lord STORMONT said he would give the authority on which
he made the statement. It was that of a Noble Lord, one of the
candidates for Dublin, late a Member of that House. No one
who knew that Noble Lord's character would suppose that he
could be a party to an electioneering trick, or that he would allow
himself to be a tool in the hands of others for such a purpose;
and he (Lord Stormont) would be equally incapable of allowing
himself to be made a tool of. _ _

Mr: CRAMPTON must still believe and sav it was an election

triCk; but he didnot believe that the Noble Lord alluded to, or
the Noble Lord who had mentioned the subject, could, to use the
Noble Lord's own expression, allow themselves to be made tools
of in the hands of the Corporation ; but certainly they might be
imposed on by misinformation.
Mr. O'CONNELL said, the purity of Lord Ingestrie's mind
would keep him from suspecting that he was made a tool of. He
little knew the men he had deal with.—(A laugh.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman had charged Sir William Gosset with being
a party canvassing for the Government candidates ; that must
be a public fact, and yet it was positively denied. The Hon. and
Learned Gentleman also charged him with having written a letter
to Alderman Dailey. How could that fact be Known, but by a
breach of confidence ?

Mr. LEFROY said that was but one fact : it was highly pro-
bable that the House would hear more of it.
Mr. SHEIL observed that the Noble Lord, who had only made
a general charge, gave his authority. The Learned Gentleman
made a particular charge, and gave no authority.—(Hear.)
Dr. LUSHINGTON said, he could not help observing that the
whole of the conversation was most irregular. The Noble Lord's
question was contrary to all the rules that governed their pro-
ceedings i and if the conversation were continued, it could not
but be injurious. Such a discussion ought not to proceed.
Sir T. FREMANTLE thought the subject was vital to the pri-

vileges of that House; and if the interfCrence attributed to Sir
William Cosset was brought before the House, it would be ne-
cessary to take steps for the vindication of their privileges.—
(Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) If the Hon. Gentlemen
opposite sat on his (the Opposition) side of the House, they would
not treat the matter with the levity they now did. He knew Sir
William Gosset, and hoped the charge against him was exagge-
rated ; but he thought the House might take up the question,
and send a message to Sir William Gosset; requiring him not to
interfere.—(A great laugh.) It would be in vain to send when
the mischief was done—to shut the stable door when the steed was
stolen.—(A laugh.)
Mr. WARBURTON asked, did the Hon. Gentleman mean
that the House should act on anonymous information, and call
Sir William Gusset before it ?—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. WYNN certainly thought that enough had not been stated
to make it proper for the House to call Sir William Gusset to its
bar; but Warty Member of the House, on his own responsibility,
preferred a charge against any public officer of having interfered
at an election, the House would entertain it.—(Hear, hear.)
After some further observations by Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET
and the Arroarsav-GENERAL, the conversation dropped, and at
Half•past Six the House adjourned.

SCRIPTS.—ibis sale took place on Friday at the rooms of

HORRID MURDERS.

(Abridged from the Cork Mercantile Chronicle 4")
Wednesday.)
Last night, about seven o'clock, the south part Of fl
city was thrown into alarm by the report of 4 T.
which occurred in Abbeyrstreet. The outwit, a PT,
the name d Duggan, a carpenter, was shortly broug"
the Bridewell, followed by crowds of infuriated Per''
and lodged there for the night.
This morning an inquest was held on the bodies 11
Coroner. _ .

Denis Donovan, a boy of 19 years Of age, and step
and apprentice of the prisoner Duggan, deposed that,
mother, the deceased, was married to prisoner about
years and a_half ; that she was about 45 years old;
that the infant, Robert Carberry, tilsci deceased, Tvol
two years old ; that on the last evening, about 1'3'1.1,
six o'clock, his step-father came in, and asked
dinner ready ; it was not, but it was made ready
an hour; he had not been at work that day, for w 74
