Various persons are mentioned, should the
Reform Bill pass, as likely to become candidates for the
new districts of the metropolis. Among others Mr. Serjeant
PE LL is talked of as the future M.P. of the Tower Hamlett..

It is currently reported that had Ministers
been outvoted on the Reform Bill, it was the intention of
the opponents of the measure to have immediately moved
an address to the throne, denouncing as enemies of the
country any persons who should counsel his MAJESTY to
dissolve Parliament.

LOVE TRIUMPHANT.—Perhaps the most
touching scene in the " Water Witch," the last and most
popular of the works of COOPER, is that in which Eu-
dora leaves her newly-found father and friends to follow
the fortunes of her lawless lover. But what female could
hesitate to make even this sacrifice, when the many esti-
mable and ennobling qualities of the Skimmer are taken
into account ? A finer subject for the painter or the dra-
matist can scarcely be imagined.

ELECTION COMMITTEE S.-(THIS DAY.)

LIVERP 0 OL.

The Committee met again this rnorningat eleven o'clock.
After they had been sworn,
Mr. HARRISON Slid he hid to complain of one of the
witnesses, named Taylor, who had been examined yester-
day. A place had been taken inside the coach, and the
fare paid for him to return t,, Liverpool, but be positively
refused to go, unless he was paid 101., and that if his de-
'nan•l was not complied with, he would publish in all the
news;apers, that Mr. \Vast], Mr. Ewart's solicitor, got
witnesses up to London, and then refused to pay their ex-
penses.
The CHAIRMAN inquired if the witness ha•} been paid
for hiss of time.

Mr. HARRISON said he was Lot entitle,' to remuneration
for lots of time. There was a proper officer appointed I,y
the House, and to him he was willing to leave the matter.

The witness here begged leave to be heard. He had,
he said, been told before he le•t Liverpool, that he should
he paid for loss of time ; he had now been away nine or ten
days, and should suffer considerable loss. Besides, he
knew that other witnesses had received three times as
much as he had, and he told Mr. Wason so. He (Mr.
W.) replied that he would not pay him (the witness) so
►ouch as he did the others, because he had applied to the.
Comreitte,s about his expences, and not left it to his honour.
Mr. Wason—The witness received 101. on leaving
Liverpool, his expences to town and in town have
been paid. His fare back, inside the coach, has
been paid, and l/. given him for expenses on the road.
Besides (said Mr. W.), I have treated him to the theatre
every night since he has been in London.—(Laughter.)
CHAIRMAN—I do not think the Committee ca❑ inter-
fere ; but, addressing the witness, said, I give you a cau-
tion not to publish any thing in the newspap, rs.
Capt. WEMYSS (one of the Committee) said, be had
doubt the witness had made the threat in consequence of
what had already been publishes! in the newspapers. Ile
did not mean to say that whit had been published w.et
improper ; but it was a breach of privile_T, and, at all
events, permission ought to have been asked.
The Counsel on both sides, and the short-hand writer,
denied that they were any parties to the publication of the
proceedings.
Captain WEMYSS—I repeat, that I do not think any
thing improper has been imblished, all that has appeared
has been fair, but I think permission ought to have betn
given to the gentlemen (looking at the reporters) who
sit below.

The Committee seemed to think that the subject was
not of sufficient importance to discuss, and it ended by
The CHAIRMAN observing, that publishing the pro-
ceedings before Committees, like publishing the debates in
Parliament, the parties did at their own risk.
The examination ol witnesses was then proceed with.
Mr. Shaw examined—When any one promised a vote
to Mr. Ewart he had ribbons given to him. I voted for
Mr. Ewart, and afterwards went to Cork-street. I dined
and supped at the King's Arms twice during the election.
I cannot tell the number that were generally there, I
should think from forty to fifty.
Cross-examined by Mr. D. PoLLocx—During the eLc-
tsou I had no communication with Mr. William Ewart.

In answer to a question by the Committee, Mr. Shaw
said be did not see any single voter paid.
Thomas Clarke examined—l keep a pub!ic-house at
Liverpool, and did so during Mr. Ewart's canvass. The
freemen of both candidates visited my house. Mr. Halli-
day at times gave me money to pay for drink for the free-
men. The freemen visited my house about a fortnight be-
fore the election. I know Mr. W. Ewart, he was never
in my house before the election. There were no tallies
formed at my house. I know a man named Gorton ; he
was frequently at my house before the election. Ile polled
for Mr. Ewart. The freemen in the interest of Mr.
Ewart used to meet at my house. Mr. Gorton used to
take the chair. I made out a bill for :•hat they had—it
amounted to 711., which was paid me by a gentleman at
the King's Arms I went with a tally to por; after they had
voted they received a ticket, and went to the King's Arms.
A man named Fisher went into the Committee-room ; he
stopped a few minutes ; I then accompanied him to my
house, where we met the tally that I had seen vote ; there
were ten of them. Fisher then produced 2501., which at
the request of the freemen I equally distributed be-
tween the ten men. Halliday, the Captain, gave tie
certificate of the ten men having voted, and on the pro-
duction of it at the Committee-loom, the 2501. was paid.
I had orders from the Captains of both candidates to let
the freemen have all reasonable refreshments, and was told
after they had polled, I should be paid. I never sae• Mr.
Ewart at my house.
CIIA IRMA r. Pollock, do you wish to ask this
witness any questions?
Mr. POLLOCK—No, Sir, the last answer given by him
renders it unnecessary.
By the COMMITTEE---I put no limits or stint on the
quantity of drink the men had, they were very moderate.
(Laughter.) I had orders to treat the freemen's friends
and wives as well as themselves.—(Laughter.) I do not
belong to the Liverpool Temperance Society.
Mr. HA RRISON—I believe that society is not very po-
pular in Liverpool.—(Laughter.)
John Trainer examine l—l am a freeman at Liverpool,
and voted for Mr. Ewart at the last election. I voted
in a tally ; after having voted we went to the King's
Arms. We remained there two or three hours. Holt,
the man who conducted us to the poll went into the Com-
rnitte-room with a paper in his hand. Our names were
then all called over, As each man went is he had some
hank notes given to him.
Mr. Sergeant MINIM EATIIK It-Did you receive some
bank notes?

i.lr. D. POLLOCK-1. Object to that question, as it go,s
directly to inculpate the witness.

The CHAIRSIA24 told the witness that he was not bound
to answer any question to criminate himself.
Mr. D. Pota.ocx—The witness ought to be informed
that receiving a bribe is a highly penal offence.
The CHAIRMAN then informed him thut such was the
law of the case.
Examination resumed.—When I went into the room
there was a quantity of hank-notes and gold lying on the
table. I bad something given to me, and was told to put
it in my pocket. There was nothing else s
Mr. Serjeant MEREWEATHEIL—Now you may an-
swer this question or not, as you think proper. Was what
you received money?
Wituess.—l would rather not give an answer.
By the Committee—All this nine men that voted
with me received money ; but I cannot say the amount
that each man received. I saw a great number of free-
men go into and come nut of the room, but I cannot say
that I saw money in their hands.
Samuel Hurst Sankey examined—l am a freeman at
Liverpool. I voted for Mr. Evart, I am a printer. I
belong to the Old Committee Clubs. I believe Mr. Ewart
belongs to that club. I was there the Wednesday atter he was
ashnitted. Mr. Ewart and several of his friends were
present. Mr. Ewart addressed the freemen—we had re-
freshments; I did not pay anything, nor did I see any one
else. Mr. Ewart's health was drank. I printed several
bills during the election, in which I took an active part.
I printed ribbons as well as bills, for which I made each
separate accounts. After giving my vote I went with the
tally to the King's Arms. I went into a room, on the
table in which I saw bank notes. A piece of paper was
given to me in that room.
Mr. HattalsoN—What.was that piece of parr?
Witness—l decline to answer that question, and I hope
the Committee will prevent me fram committing myself.
The CHAIRMAN-Yon have no occasion to answer it.
By Mr. PoutacK-1 have been a member of the Old
Committee Club for six years. I asked for part of the
printing hefore the election commenced. I primed the
'quibs that appeared, at least all those that I made myself,
and were approved of by the committee.
Mr. Pou.ocK—Then you only printed such squibs as
you yourself composed?
Witness—Yes; there was an association of three of
four of us, and the squibs that were made, I also printed.
John Dunant—ls a freeman of Liverpool ; went to the
Committee-room before I polled ; after polling went to the
King's Arms, waited there an hour; sent for into a room,
and where I saw two gentlemen ; there were bank notes
and sovereigns on the table; something was given tee;
nothing else passed.
Mr. Serj. MEREWETHER—If you pleasa you may state
what that something was, but I air. bound to tell you, you
need not do so to criminate yourself.
Witness appealed to the Chairman, and declined an-
swering the question. I afterwards received 51. from Mr.
Allison.

Thomas Crawford—l am a freeman of Liverpool, and
voted at the last election for Mr. Ewart. I went to Hayman's
house whero there were several freemen, and adjourned
to a public house, and Mr. Hayman ordered something for
us all to drink. We all bad something to drink. I did not
hear the landlord ask Mr. Hayman who was to pay. The
conversation on the subject passed in my hearing. Some
of the party drank spirits; but one day the landlord said
we ought to take ale. I went there first tour weeks before
the election. Mr. Hayman introduced me to the
and I was to have whatever I called for.- I do-not recol-
tact ever seeing Mr. Ewart there. I recollect one night a
party of gentlemen came; I know Mr. Ewart, but do not
recollect that he was one of the party of that night.
I know Mr. -John Ewart; he was present at the

sitar. Ido it-A know Mr. era, though I a eve
1:m with ink. The captains of the respective parties
ised frequently to call at the public-house, where we rc-
;Tired victuals said drink, to see if all their men ivero
right. I have been told that Mr. Ewart used to go to
10112 e of the hr uscs, but I will not swear I ever saw
:aim. I shook hands with him when I gt,ve Lim my vote.
The reason the landlord told us we hal lietter have ate
iVaR because it would be diva; r, I.nti added that the
,antains and Mr. Ewart wool I he there at nigh, when
the bill would be settleo, end th-n we might begin strain.
I never p a farthing, nor never will.--(l..tmti laughter.)
I never was asked for any. On :he day I pulled I went to
the King's Arms for money.—( Laughter. I wiil speak tine
truth. )—There was gold and bank rotes on the table ;
it was after I pee'. I know M. Bold ; I Lad some con-
versation with him and some of the gentlemen about
voting; I went in a tally of 10, and voted ; I then went
to the King's Arms ; I waited un,il I was calle ; ; I then
went into the room ; I saw others come out of the rooms :
they had guild and bank-nt.tes in their hands ; the person
who went into the room with me hal ten sovereigns ; I
had something given to me ; it was a paper ; I do not
know what it contained ; I was satisfied with what I got
then, as I understood I was to receive something else very
'burly; Mr. Buhl afterwards gave me a note, which I
took to the same room, and I received something else, but
I decline saying what it was ; I was perfectly satisfied.
The examination of witnesses was proceeding when we
went to press.
