LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1849.

_gem_
The honourable Member for Buckinghatnshire has
come forward as a financial reformer. We have now
the DisttAELl budget, which should be placed in
juxti!pcmition and considered, simultaneously with
those which . had previously been promulgated by
:Messrs. COBDEN, MACGREGOR,
and +.1.1G87 WASON.
It will be for the public to say which of these pro.
jQcts, if carried into execution, would be best calcu••
lated to effect "the greatest good 'for the greatest
number;" for that, after all, is the question to be de-
cided. We
,have already expressed our opinions on
the several propositions previously submitted. We shall
now consider the plan so elcquently opened to the
House last night., with its comparative advantages and
disadvantages.

There are two points of view in which every fiscal

Sir J. PAKINGTON moved to nominate the Select
Committee on the Bribery at Elections Bill.
Oa the name of Sir J. HarmPr being proposed,
Colonel SIBTLIORP objected to the Hon. Baronet, cn
the ground of the strong part he had taken in relation
to bribery. He moved to substitute the name of the
Hon. Member for Peebleshire (Mr. F. Mackenzie).
The motion having been withdrawn, Sir J. Hamer
was nominated.

Colonel SIBTHORP suggested to the lion. Baronet
(Sir J. Pakington) that it would be desirable for him
to select the Attorney-General to serve upon his Com-
mittee, because no men in that House knew more about
bribery.—SA laugh.)
The ATT MIN EY-GENERAL—If the House wishes,
I will of course serve upon the Committee, but as the
Hon. end Gallant Member has put it on such grounds, I
shall decline.

Colonel SIBTHORP--The Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman is either very much conversant with bribery, or
else he is very much belied.—(A laugh.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with warmth)—The
Hon. and Gallant Member has no right to say so. I
have already denied it.
Colonel SIBTHORP--What?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—What you say I
have been guilty of. I have denied in this House that
I have had anything to do with bribery, and the Hon.
and Gallant Member has no right to repeat it.
Colonel SIBTHORP utterly denied having charged
the Attorney. General with having been guilty of bri-
bery.—(Oh.)
:Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped this matter would go no
further.

The other Members were then nominated, and the
Select Committeee stands as follows:—Sir J. raking:on,
Lord Ashley, Sir F. The sitter, Mr. i;o9verie, Lord Ma-
hon, Mr. Brotherfon, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Legh, Sir J.
Ilanmer, Mr. liorsman, Mr. Wrightson, Mr. Napier,
Mr. Maitland, Mr. MuDings, and dr. Sheridan.
The other orders of the day Xere disposed of, and the
House adjourned at One o'clock.
