LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1841.

The House of Commons met last night after
the recess.

A new writ was issued for Nottingham. Pri-
vate business and petitions, as usual, occupied
some time, but were of no public importance.
Mr. HUMS inquired of Mr. MACAULAY whe-
ther the statement published as to a certain
military flogging on the Sabbath was correct.
Mr. MACAULAY said it was not trite that the
punishment was inflicted so as to make it appear a
continuation of Divine service. The corps were
marched out of the riding-school after Divine
service, an inspection took place, and afterwards
the troops were ordered back to the riding-
school, and there the punishment was inflicted.
Mr. MACAULAY exonerated the Earl of CARDI-
GAN from any imputation of inhumanity, or a
desire to inflict corporeal punishment ; but he
said he could not reconcile his proceedings either
with good sense or good feeling.
Nothing but
the extreme exigency of the public service could
justify inflicting punishment on the Sabbath,
which did not exist in this case, and it therefore
was without excuse. Here the subject ended.
To-day, Mr. Fox MAULS stated, in answer to
Sir G. SINCLAIR, he would inform the House of
the determination of the Home Department re-
lative to the appointment of Mr. CANDLEISH.
The Administration of Justice Bill was post-
poned till Friday.

In answer to Sir R. PEEL, Viscount MouPETH
stated that it was his intention to proceed with

the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) Bill, and
that he should state, either to-day or to-morrow,
what alterations he proposes to make in it.
The County Courts Bill, Mr. F. MAULE
stated, would be proceeded with on Thursday,
with amendments.

Mr. EWART moved an Address to the Crown
to throw open the whole of Regent's Park to the
pubiic, but after a short conversation withdrew
his motion. Mr. E. J. STANLEY stated that
a portion of the Park was let; and though
he could not say that the whole of the Park
would be thrown open from the water to the
Zoological Gardens, it was the intention of Vis-
count DUNCANNON to throw open an additional
portion of the grass land between Lord HERT-
FORD'S villa and the garden,.

Mr. EWART postpo..ea 1.i3 motion relative to
proseen: Jr for a fortnight,
appointing a public
The Arms (Ireland) Bill wt.; read a second tine,
and at Six o'clock the House adjourned.

We are reminded, by the following extract
from the Southern I?epovter, of the great services
formerly rendered to the good cause by the
Times, and of its recent scandalous attacks on
the Irish. The first sentence sounds harsh, but
something must be allowed for the much
wounded feelings of the Irish, and their perfect
knowledge of the falsehoods affecting themselves.
As a public organ, the Times is a foul and convicted liar
writing for a faction without a pretension to honesty, without
a particle of principle. We can very well remember the noble
position occupied by this journal when it forced from the Bo-
roughm?nger! of England an unhoped for Reform ; and, as a
companion picture, the Irish will not easily forget the long
Seriees of unrelenting,. unblushing falsehoods that, on a change
Proprietary, it suited this leader of public opinion to put
forth in the performance of its despicable contract. But our

EVENING EDITION

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
NOTTINGHAM.
GENTLIMEN, Nottingham, April 15, 1841.
THE lamented Death of Sir RONALD
FERGUSON having occa‘ioned a vacancy in the
Representation of your town, I am induced, by the flattering
promises of support which I have received, to offer myself as a
Candidate to succeed him.
To replace a person so distinguished by professional ho-
nours, liberal principles, and consistent political conduct, and
who has so long occupied a large space in public estimation,
must at all times and to all persons be a disadvantage; and
it is peculiarly so to me, whose walk in life has been exclu-
sively confined to commercial pursuits. But lam told that
it is the wish of a large portion of your constituency, looking
to the various and complicated interests of your great manufac-
turing town, to seek a representative in that class of persons
who ought, from long experience, to be familiar with those
important subjects of commercial and domestic policy upon
which its prosperity so essentially depends.
I come forward as a warm advocate of Liberal principles
in commerce as well as in politics—l will support no class in-
terest, adverse to the general welfare of the community—l feel
in their full force the evils of the existing Corn-laws, and I
shall give my cordial support to those who seek their repeal.
Anxious to secure to the voter the free exercise of his privi-
lege, 1 shall support the Ballot, or any measure calculated to
secure that desirable object.
Although not insensible to the inconvenience of frequent
changes, yet I shall he ready to concur in any practicable plan
for the extension cf the suffrage ; it being my conviction,
that as the varied classes of the community rise in education
and independence, they should successively be made partakers
is the choice of the national representation, and, without
pledging myself to any particular cow se, I shall be prepared
to support such a shortening of the duration of Parliament
as may be required for the public benefit. lam myself a sin-
cere member of the Church of England, but I do not approve
of taxing, by means of Church-rates, persons who do not
belong to it, and I shall therefore vote for their abolition,
trusting that means may be devised for maintaining the exist-
ing fabric if the places of worship without affecting the re-
ligious scruples of others.
Feeling strongly the inadequacy of the present means of
instructing the people, I shall, as I have always hitherto done,
give my support to the most extended system of national edu-
cation, The Poor-law Amendment Act being now the law
of the land, it will be my study, as well as my duty, narrowly
to watch its operations, and to prevent and correct its abuses;
and I shall look to the manner it may affect the working
classes, as the principal point to be considered in any future
legislation upon the subject.
It is upon these grounds that I submit my pretensions to
you, confident that 1 shall bring to your service an anxious
desire, and a determined will, to promote your welfare to the
best of my abilities, and trusting that I may in some degree
e-mpensate for their inferiority by diligence and zeal in the
discharge of your Parliamentary business, and of the general
duties of your Representative, should you be pleased to place
those great trusts in my keeping.
The limits of this; address will not enable me to entertain
other matters, upen which you may wish to know my opinions,
but I shall at all times be ready to give the fullest explanation
of my principles.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, with great respec
Your very obedient servant,
G. G. DE H. LARPENT.
