THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1840.

NEL L made at a later period of the evening, from
the Report of the Committee of 1838 on Fictitious
Votes in Ireland. He showed by the quotation
that it was customary on the property of the Messrs.
LEFROY, in Longford, to give leases to the tenants
with a clause subject to he determined by the land-
lord on six months' notice ; and he mentioned two
instances of such tenants, who, having voted
against their landlords, received notice to
quit. Now suct leaseholders have no real
beneficial interest in their leases ; they are merely
the landlords' serfs, and could scarcely take the
necessary oaths without being guilty of perjury.
Of falsehood they are unquestionably guilty.
Here, then, we find the landlords not only
creating fictitious and dependent voters, but, as
Mr. M. J. O'CoNNELL remarked, deliberately
guilty of subornation of perjury. They do not
provoke a false oath taken in the intoxication of
political excitement, nor under the wily influence of
the priests, but are guilty of a deliberate suborna-
tion of falsehood, calmly undertaken, with all the
foresight necessary to prepare legal instruments, and
with no other temptation than the scheming
wickedness of their own minds. For this flagrant
abuse Lord STANLEY'S Bill, which professes to be
the corrector of abuses, provides no remedy whatever.
On the contrary, it arms these makers of fictitious
and dependent vcters with increased power, it thro‘‘s
around them all the protection which a long purse
can command, it gives them impunity for their
calm, deliberate iniquity, and cuts off without mercy
those voters whose beneficial interest in a leas
may have recently terminated. This is not equal
and impartial dealing, such as an honest legislator
should adopt; but, influenced by the cheers of the
very class in whose favour Lord STANLEY legislates,
he blushes not, he boasts even of his own injustice.
Mr. HUME justly characterised the Noble
Lord's conduct last night ; but it is so seldom the
truth is honestly spoken in the House of Com-
mons, that it sounded strange to the ears of the
Members. He made a much mote vigorous attack
on the Bill than the two Solicitors-General
who spoke the evening before, and who are un-
able to grapple with a Bill drawn up with legal
nicety, and fulfilling all the conditions they usually
look for in an enactment. To attack it men must
go beyond the law and the principles of the law,
and must look at the motives and objects of the
law-maker. 'They must not be guided by legal I
technicalities. It would be at the same time un-
just
to the English Solicitor-General if we did
not remark that he is a statesman as well as a
lawyer, and that a part of his observations on Tues-
day evening on the tendency of some Ministerial
measures, and on the duty of Ministers to introduce
good Bills, regardless of the opinions of the House
of Lords, entitle him to the gratitude of all Re.
formers.

The Dutch papers received last evening contain
the folloinri message to the States General :

" Noble and Blighty Lords,—Acting on the prokct com-
municated on our part to the Cenral Section of your A -
sembly, we herewith present to you a project of law Co',
cernirg the responsibility of the heads of the Ministeria
departments.

" The Hague, May 16, 1840."

“ WILLIAM.

. .
The different sections of the proposed law are
then given at length. In these the KING yields to
the wisher of the Chambers, and proposes that the
Sovereign shall have the power of appointing and
dismissing the Ministetial Department at pleasure,
and that the Ministry, and not the KING, shall be
responsible for every act of the Government. The
message appears to have given great satisfaction,
and hopes are therefore entertained that the Budget
for the second half of the year will be accepted.

The news brought by the French Papers of
Tuesday is not important, except that they confirm
the fall of Cantavieja—the last but one of the
Carlist strongholds in Spain. We have received
with them Brussels and German Papers, but they
are equally barren of intelligence of any European
interest. The following extracts are alone worthy
of attention :
It was said on Tuesday, in the Chamber of Deputies,
that the Ministers declared that if there should be no dis-
turbance on the day of the funeral ceremony in honour of
Napoleon, the Government would propose, in the course
of the year, to authorise the members of the Emperor's
family to return to France.
ALGIERS, MAY 12.—We have learnt that the column
commanded by the Prince Royal arrived at Cherchell on
the 9th. He pitched his camp before the town. The
Marshal was at that time between Bhidah and Miliana.

We hear of two brilliant actions which have lately taken
place, and in which the 17th Regiment of Light Infantry
is said to have distinguished itself. The reports say that
there was little loss on our side.— Toulon/la/ s, May 15.
The Barcelona Journals are to the Bth, and the Postilion
de Gerona to the 13th. Nothing new had taken plae:,
in Catalonia ; only it is known that the sisters of Cabrera,
and the Carlist Bishop of Orihuela have arrived at Bergs.
BRUSSELS.—The section of the iron railway from Brus-
sels to Tubise was opened on Monday. The King,, the
Ministers, and a great number of persons of distinction,
among whom were remarked the English and French Am- 1
bassadors, were present at the ceremony, which happily
passed over without any accident ; but it is reported that
a young man, very well dressed, who, with some of his
friends, was present, suddenly exclaimed—" I am weary
of life; I will get rid of it," and, with the rapidity of
lightning, plunged a knife into his heart, and fell among a
group of spectators.
VIENNA, May 11.—His Majesty the Emperor and
Prince Metternich, is(t out to-day noon Ix Presburgh,
when the Diet is to be closed to-morrow. In the Sitting
of the Diet yesterday (Sunday) a joyful surprise was oc-
casioned by the reading of the Royal decision on the pro-
ject of law for the emancipation of the Jews in Hungary,
which had been amended by the Chamber of Magnates;
the Royal resolution contains some further modifications.

THE SCORPION BlLL.—fjord Howick and Mr.
Char:es Wood, on the division, had only one tail, Mr.
Peter Ainsworth, the Member for Bolton. Mr.
Swynfen Jervis, the Liberal Member for Brid-
port, purposely kept away. What a mockery of
representation! The Liberal electors of Bridport re.
turned him as a Reformer—he votes with their ene-
mies when he votes at all. Mr. Cuthbert Rippon, the
Member for Gateshead was also absent ; and of Liberals
altogether not fewer than nine were prevented from
voting from illness or being abroad.

SEVENTEEN LIVES SAVED.—We regret to
have to announce the total wreck of the barque Arcturus, be.
longing to Mr. Holt, of Whitby, and bound from Sierra Leone
to Sunderland, with a valuable cargo of oak. Upon her ar-
rival in the Downs, the captain had taken the precaution, in
consequence of the thick weather, to engage a pilot, by the aid
of whose skill and judgment the t essel might be navigated with
greater safety along the north-eastern coast, a course considered
by mariners to be attended at all times with more than usual
risk. On Sunday morning last, when the vessel was off:Hurt.
cliff Foot, the wind ruse to a gale from the north-east, and the
pilot in charge of her bore down for the Tees, under the mis-
taken idea, it would seem, that he was entering the port of Sun-
derland. In the attempt to tat e the river the vessel missed the
channel, and struck upon a sand bank called the South Gare.
The perilous condition of those on board was immediately ob-
served by the pilots and fishermen of Redcar, who lost no
time in getting out the life-boat, and dragging it, with the as-
sistance of horses, to the Tees' mouth. After contending for
some time with the sea, which was breaking with tremendous
force betwcen the vessel and the shore—a distance of nearly
half a mile—the crew of the life-boat had the satisfaction Co
rescue the ship's company, consisting of twelve men, the cap-
tain's wife, maid-servant, and three small children (the youngest
only eight weeks old), from a watery grave. The gallantry
displayed by the crew of the Redcar life_ boat on this occasion
is beyond all praise.—Yorkshire Gazette.
OLDEN TIME IN MASSACHUSETTS.—InI627,
there were but thirty ploughs in all Massachusetts, and the
use of all these agricultural implements was not familiar to all
the planters. From the annals of Salem it appears in that year,
it was agreed by the town to gran: Richard Hutchinson 20
acres of land in addition to his share, on condition " he set up
ploughing."-1630. A sumptuary Act of the General Court
prohibited short sleeves, and required the garments to he length-
ened so as to cover the arms to the wrists, and required reform-
ation " in immoderate great breeches, knots of ribbon, broad
shoulder bands and tayiee, silk rases, double cuffs and ruffs "
—1647. The Court oi der that, if any young man attempt to
address a young woman without consent. of her parents, or in
case of their absence, of the County Court, he shall be fined
41. for the first offence, 101. for the second, and be imprisoned
for the third.-1649. Matthew Stanley was tried for drawing
in the affections of John Tarhox's daughter, without the con-
sent of her parents, convicted and fined 15/. ; fees, 2s. 6d.
Three married women were fined ss. each for scolding.-1653.
Jonas Fairbanks was tried for wearing great boots, but was ac-
quitted.—National

HARE-HUNTING IN IRELAND.—The process
of hunting in these precipitous districts, where the hare
abounds, is thus conducted. A small terrier is despatched
under the charge of a lad accustomed to the dangerous crags
which afford shelter to the victim. The hunters and the grey-
hounds remain stationary till the cry of the lad warns them to
rch in all directions; as soon as the hare appears, the dogs
are ioo•ened, and the scramble then is among the sportsmen to
the highest crag to obtain the best point of sight.—Sportsman
in Ireland.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

HUSGERFORD MARKET.

Prices of Fish, Butcher's Meat, Poultry, and Vegetables;

HAY MARKETS.
Supplies moderate, and demand middling. Prices much as
they were.

TEA MARKET.
The Market in a very dull state indeed, and no current prices
could be named. Ihe general idea, however, seems to be that
Tea is lower since the public sale concluded.

Very little done. B.P. Sugar attlles;me high prices as
during the week. lhe Coffee market very flat, and jut of 3,05 S
bags Brazil offered part only sbld at 455. and 56s ; 1,500 bags

MONEY and COALVIERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—The sales
of this day are 3,000 bales at yesterday's price.

Arrivals this morning—French and Oaend mails, ship
letters from St. Vincent, Demerara, Monte Video, Ja-
maica, and Antigua.

Accoun:s from Berlin, of the 9th of May, state that a re-
port prevailed there that the citadel of Mar
was con-
sumed by fire, and that the people of the town, although
threatened, would riot assist to put the fire out.
We have received the Journal of Antwerp, of yester-
day's date; it states that M. Count Fieguelmont, Extra-
ordinary Ambassador of the, Emperor of Austria at the
Court of Russia, arrived on the 7th of May, at St. Peters-
burgh. The Journal also states the death of the Coun-
sellor of State Paskevitch, member of the Council of Mi.
misters of the Interior, and of General Main- Freidheig,
Commandant of Helsingfors.

Accounts from Riga state the opening of the navigation
which took place on the 19th of April. The breaking-up
of the ice on the Dwina took place on the 12th, and did not
cause any inundations. From Lilian, it is stated that the
line of railway has been finished from Libau to Jurbourg.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MAY !S.—The aspect of the
Bourse this day was generally favourable, and the prices
were better, owing to some business done in the Integrals
and Bills of Chance. The expectation that the budget
will be adopted, has had a good influence on the prices.
In the Foreign Funds little has been done, and they remain
without variation in the prices.
Accounts from Paris state that the Belle Poule frigate,
which is to bring the ashes of Napoleon, is to take the
name of St. Helena. Another report says that she is to be
named the Eagle of Napoleon.
Prices at Amsterdam, May 18—Two-and-a- Half per
Cents. 55 ; Five per Cents 100 3-16.
Accountsirom Le;psie of the 12th May, state that the
fair has been more favourable than was anticipated, and
that extensive business was done in leather, and also
150,000 pieces of cloth of various qualities, the half of
which was sold; fine qualities sold in preference; silks in
general sold well. Little was done in furs.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS
DAY.)

(Sittings in Error. )
VALIDITY OF THE CHARTER OF TIIE MANCHESTER CORPO.

Mr. ChE .sw ELI --Is that any r,son urn), the Crown
should exercise such authority ? It is to exercise the
p::wers given ace;irding to the statute, and if they cannot
Le so cxerciied then the charter i:, invalid, and if the doc-
trine of ci pees is admitted, then the Judge should appoint
te Barrister who is to divide the borough into wards.
The Crown appointed a Barrister to revise the lists, and
why not to set out the wards. rite Charter then pre-
scribed the number of C uncillers to be settled by each
ward Again, there was a departure from the Municipal
Reform set, by which the Crown assumed to itself the
exei else of a power which had been refused to it by the
provisions of the Act, This was directed by the Act to
be done by the Barrister. Now who was the person to
divides into wards, and to set out the number of Council
Tors? Why, the Revising- Barrister. Now they had ap-
p I :ted a Revising Barrister, but had not entrusted him
with these powers. The Learned Counsel next adverted
to the making of the lists. The burger, list was to be
made of all the inhabitant hote;eliolders within the bo-
rough. By the 9AI section of the Act, it was to be of the
inhabitant householders within the borough, or seven miles
round. Here was a variance of the utmost moment. The
Charter was to be based on the representative system; and
unless the electoral system was properly constituted the
representation could not be good. A great deal was
said in these days about the value of the fran-
chise, yet this variance would exclude all those
most respectable inhabitants who resided some
distance from the town. Surely the Crown could never
intend to exclude them, and thus establish a representa-
tion only of the numbers, not of the wealth of the town
of Manchester. In some minor points, as to the persons
by whom, and the times at which the lists were to be
made ow, the charter departed from the statute ; and there
was s.arJely aly of that protection given to the constitu-
encies which the Act provided. By the Act, the
list was to be signed and delivered to the Town-
cler, to be by hint kept for the inspection
of the burgesses. In the charter this was quite omitted.
By the Act, the overseers of the various townst,ips were to
make the lists for each. Tills was much more convenient
for reference and accuracy than that tile list for the borough
should be at once made out by one person, as under _the
charter would be the case. By the Act, copies of the list
were to be insrected freely, without fee—a most important
provision ; whereas under the charter, the person to make
the list was to cause a copy to be set up at one place for
eight days, for the inspection of all the inhabitants.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE...." Copies."
Me. CRESWELL—NO ; " copy." Under the Act the
overseers of the various townships were to make lists for
each, and keep copies of each ; but by this charter the
whole list was to be affixed to some particular place only
eight days. Again, by the Act the town-clerk was to
have the lists printed, and to deliver one copy to every
householder applying,, at a reasonable price ; but for this
there was no provision in the charter. Again, as to the
list of claimants and objections—the Act provided for a
similar publication, and: keeping the originals for inspec-
tion—all overlooked in the charter. Equally defective
was the charter, as to the revision of the lists, and what
was to be done with the revised lists? With respect to
which the Act provided that the Mayor should deliver them
to the Town Clerk to be by him fairly and alphabeti-
cally copied an,! kept. The Attorney-General might say
there was yet no Town Clerk. But there was the person
who had to make out the lists. If he was a substitute for
tho Overseers, surely he could be a substitute for the
embryo Town Clerk.
