PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the Loans' last night, after some discussion, in the
course of which Lord Melbourne declared the determination
of the Government not to tamper with the currency, Lord
Wynford obtained his appointment of a Committee to inquire
into the causes of agricultural distress.
In reference to the
case of the twenty seven Englishmen seized in Spain, and
sent on board ship, Lord Melbourne, in reply to the Marquis
of Londonderry, said that the papers sought should be pro-
duced. Lord Holland presented a petition from a Baptist
congregation in Nottingham, praying relief.
In the COMMONS Colonel Anson took the oaths and his seat
for Stoke-upon-Trent. Sir W. Geary brought in the Bill
for making a railway from Greenwich to Gravesend. The
Islington Cattle-market Bill was referred to a Committee. Dr.
Bowring complained of a misrepresentation which appeared in
a Tory paper. On the presentation of a petition by Mr. Wakley,
on the subject of the proposed charter fora Metropolitan Unive-
rsity, Mr. Tooke said that there was considerable misapprehension
on this subject. The powers granted by the Charter would
not be limited to the two schools. The Examiners would have
authority for including other schools. Mr. S. Crawford pre-
sented a petition from the Rev. Mr. Hancock, for the
abolition of tithes. Lord Morpeth obtained leave to
bring in a Bill to amend the law regarding the ap-
pointment, &c., of the Constabulary force of Ireland. Mr.
Ward's resolutions relative to the mode of taking divisions
of the House were agreed to. Lord D. Stuart postponed his
motion for papers respecting Russia, Turkey, and Poland, in
consequence of the lateness of the hour. There was an ex-
tended and interesting discussion on Mr. Shiel's motion re-
specting the Irish Lay Association. The Select Committee
eventually was granted. Lord Morpeth gave notice that on
the 25th instant, he would move for leave to bring in the
Tithes (Ireland) Bill. The motion fora commission-to Carlow
was deferred. A return relative to the appointment of sheriffs
was ordered.

CARLOW ELECTION COMMITTEE

The Committee appointed to enquire into the conduct of
Daniel O'Connell, Esq., with respect to the Election for the
County of Carlow, met this morning, at twelve o'clock. They
sat for about an hour with closed doors, and then adjourned till
Monday, the 29th inst. We understand, that they have re-
solved that the doors shall remain closed during the enquiry to
all, except Members of Parliament.

GLASGOW ELECTION.

TRIUMPH OF REFORM.

The election has terminated in favour of Lord William Ben-
tinck. At the close of the poll, on Tuesday, the numbers
were—

For Lord William Bentinck
Mr. Mills 903

Majority in favour of his Lordship -1,092
Very little excitement prevailed in the City during the day ;
the great body of Reformers, scarcely looking upon the elec-
tion as a contested one at all, put themselves to little or no
trouble in canvassing. The few supporters of the defeated
candidate, however, stung to exertion by a sense of weakness,
were indefatigable in their labours, and, particularly in Gor-
bals, strove hard to swell the list of their retainers. But in
vain. A great body of the electors have not polled. Many
of the Reformers seem to have considered it unnecessary to
vote ; while the Tories, as a party, though many of their ad-
herents supported Mr. Mills, did not openly take any part in
the election.

Mr. Mills has been defeated, but the precious squad who in.
duced him to come forward have gained their ends. They
have made the young man bleed.—Glasgow Argus.
It is a fact worth mentioning, that scarcely more than half
of the Constituency voted yesterday.
