IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The Sp- itgER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
The Earl of Glengall's Estate Bill, was read a third
tittle and passed.
THE HORSHAM ELECTION.
kr. ANSTEY rose to ask the Attorney-General a
question as to a communication received from Messrs.
Waugh
and Mitchell, attorneys for the plaintiff in New-
"'arch v. Jervis, Knight, on the subject of the bribery
and treating charged to have taken place at the election
of Mr. Jervis in 1847 for the borough of Horsham.
The
: Honourable and Learned Gentleman read
manuscript statement setting forth that several parties
45(1 been bribed to vote for the son of the Attorney-
General by having been appointed to Government
situations.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who appeared to
labour under much excitement, said he had not paid
Nessre. Waugh and Mitchell a farthing for not proceed-
mg with the action, as from their character many persons
Migbt suppose.—(Laughter.) The petition against his
'on was withdrawn during his absence at Shrewsbury,
and the first he heard of it was from the Times, which
be purchased at Wolverton. The allegation against his
Mh teas that he was under age, and had no qualifica-
tion
t, • In a letter which he addressed to Messrs.
.wetiron, his son's solicitor, he :stated that his mother
could prove his age—(Laughter) and that he (the
4.ttorney-General) was anxious to state on oath that he
had nothing whatever to do with the alleged bribery—
(Hear)—and in another epistle, which he wrote at the
same time to Mr. James, a barrister, who had interested
himself in the charges made against his son, he expressly
declared that he would be no party to any pecuniary
eompromise. Mr. Joseph Parkes, who acted for his son
before that gentleman was appointed to an office in the
Court of Chancery, was similarly directed. His son
Was a gentleman by birth and education, and therefore
it was well the petition was withdrawn, as, if it had been
d
Proceeded with, it could only be done by perjury and
traud.—(Hear, hear.) lie was charged with having
bribed a person named Burfoot. Now, he declared upon
his honour, that he never heard his name until he read
it in the declaration. Messrs. Waugh and Mitchell
declared that they had examined this person. Why
they laid a subpoena on his bed, and never asked him a
question.—(Hear, hear.) Another person mentioned,
lioldhayd, never was a voter.—(Hear, hear.) It was
true he had backed his application for a situation
in one of the dockyard*. which had been sometime before
promised him by the superintendent. When the
person stated to have been appointed postmaster
of Horsham had declined to accept the
was offered to him, in his conscience be officehel
ievwedhetribuitt
the course which had been pursued viatvith the view
of stopping Lord Edward Howard's
hear.) Messrs. Waugh and Mitchell petition.—(Bear,
011.—(11ar,
them-
selves unworthy the notice of gentlemen, and he despised
esilsed
them all.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. ANSTEY considered that the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman had satisfactorily repudiated the charges
made against him.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME deprecated the practice of Hon. Members
brieging forward matters, into the accuracy of which
they had not inquired.—(Loud cheers.) The character
of the House was involved in the adoption of this
course._(Haar, bear.)
THE WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.
Mr. HUME called attention to the statement in the
newspapers of this morning, respecting the loss of the
?migrants ship, the Ocean, by fire, and the consequent
loss of more than 300 lives, shortly after leaving the
Mersey. It appeared, by the statement, that the Orion
d Cambrian passed the unfortunate ship without ren-
dering.. any assistance. Whilst British ships were on the
'Pot, it was not well that they should be indebted for
ttid from Prince Joinville and the Duo d'Aumale, who
"aP,pened to be in the Channel.
;411e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re-
k, in the absence of the President of the Board of
cads, that the fullest inquiry would be made into the
circumstances. The vessel was not a Government one.
Mr. HUME said that a person, named Jerome, had
:oed i eventeen lives, and trusted he would be adequately
Ttlareed.—(llear.)
"E lIURRICANE ON THE EAST COAST OF

SCOTLAND.
ealMr• HUME said, whilst on this subject, he wished to
411 th .
to
otlgpdattention to the hurricane on the eastern coast of
nthuid, and trusted that subscriptions would be
i:sed for the relief of the widows and children of the
the who had been killed.—(Hear, bear.) He trusted
I„7_ matter was not unworthy the attention of the Go-
vrnMent.--(Llear.)

THE RIVER BARROW.
Colcnel.DUNNE asked the Chancellor of the Exche
4ar why a preliminary survey of the river Barrow, in
ki,;`"d; which was to havee been undertaken two years
v" by the Board of Works, has not been completed,
div`!°ugh 3001. were paid for such survey by certain in-
idnals to the Commissioners of Drainage; and, fur-
kir% whether any order had been issued from the Trea-
ii‘to stop or suspend this survey.
