[PRICE SD,

el-1.-Z pose cf intercepting young females coming to
tow eel luring them off, by promises of good s.tua-
tions into those dens of infamy where the it ruin was
speedily accomplished.—(llear, hear.) Ile wus certain
that whatever differceca of opinion there might be
among their Lordships as to legislating for the purpose
of putting down brothels, he was sure tiwre would be no
difference of opinion among them as to the nece.sity of
a remedy for this giliring evil, as they would no doubt
all agree that those females were entitled to all the pro.
teetion which the law could afford them.—(Hear, hear.)
He confessed it was difficult to frame a Bill so as to meet
the case, and on showing the present Bill to seine legal
gentletneu, several portions of it had been pointed
out as calculated to render the other int:pzrative.
These he had endeavoured to alter, and as hu meant
that the Bill should be submitted to a Committee
before its third reading, these alterations could
then be considered and inserted. It was nut neces-
sary, he conceived, that he should say more on the sub-
ject. It was a portion of their Lordships' duty to pro-
tect the morals of the community, and to punish, if
they could, by legislation, great mural delinquency. It
was true they could not by Act of Parliament make
men moral or immoral, but there was a principle of the
law of England which they were bound to carry out,
and that was to protect those who, from their own igno-
rance and simplicity, fell victims to the deceptions and
intrigues of others • and if a Bill could be framed which
would but make this trade of entrapping females more
difficult, much good would be done.—(Hear, hear.) The
state these poor creatures were led into was the most
degraded and wretched that could be conceived, and very
frequently resulted in their putting an end to their own
existence. He trusted, therefore, their Lordships would
interpose on their behalf, and would, therefore, move
the second reading of the Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM said, although he had opposed a
measure which was formerly brought forward on much
the same subject, after the statement of the Right Rev.
Prelate, so ably and feelingly made, he did not intend to
oppose the second reading of the present measure, more
especially as any alterations could be made upon it in
Committee which were thought necessary. No doubt a
great evil existed, and much misery was entailed on
those unfortunate creatures from the system referred to.
At the same time, there were great difficulties in the way
of getting these evils remedied; but, as he hoped these
were not such as could not be overcome, he should vote
for the second reading of the Bill.
The Bill was then read a second time.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS PREVENTION BILL.
On the Duke of BEAUFORT moving the second
reading of this Bill,
Lord CAMPBELL made some objections to various
of its clauses, but the purport of which did not reach the
gallery; and,
After a short conversation, joined in by Earl Fitz-
hardinge, Lord Redesdale, and the Earl of Malmesbury,
The Bill was read a second time.
COLLECTOR OF CESS (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE
this Bill was also read a second time.
EVICTED DESTITUTE POOR (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE next mauled that
the House go into Committee on this Bill.
The Earl ot RODEN could wish that the measure
should be postponed until after the holidays, as he had
some amendments to make.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE regretted that he
could not comply with the Noble Earl's request. He
had several amendments to propose to the Bill himself,
when in Committee, and perhaps these might obviate
the objections of the Noble Earl to the Bill.
Their Lordships then went into Committee, and the
clauses having been agreed to, the House resumed, and
their Lordships adjourned.

ROUSE OF COMMONS June 5.
BOROUGH. OF HORSHAM.
(Cor.tiuued from our Third Edition of last nigh'.)
Mr. A. STAFFORD said that the course that
had been adopted by the Government was not the one
calculated to induce the people to believe that they
were sincere in the desire :that they had expressed
to improve the condition of the people.—(Hear,
hear.) The borough of Horsham had returned a
near and dear relative of the Right Hon. Gentle-
man. His election had been declared invalid,
and because Horsham could not do more for
the Attorney - General, and his near and
dear relative, he had deserted his post in the
House, and left the Noble Lord at "the bead of the
Government to vote anu speak against the issuing of
the writ for that borough.—(Hear and laughter.)
He was delighted to hear from the Noble Lord that this
question was a question of growing importance, whether
writs should issue in these cases. He would give his
vote for the issuing of the writ, because no case had
been made out for disfranchising the borough.
Mr. MUNIZ said that he hoped an extension of the
suffrage would cure the evils which had been complained
of in this instance. What the people complained of was,
that there were •Menibers in that House who, bought
their seats, and did Ott represent the people. The num-
ber of voters in all these small todroughs should be ex-
tended, and that would put it out of the reach of all
those who wished to make a bad use of them from
doing so.

Mr.
GOULBURN said the indefinite suspension of
writs was a great public evil. It was giving a tyrannical
power to the majority in that House. For three months
past this writ had been suspended, and yet no progress
had been made with the Bill of the Noble Lord, and he
now declined to give any information about it.
Captain MANGLES said that the corruption which
had taken place in Horsham, and the districts round it,
was enormous. The whole country was flooded, with
beer.—(A laugh.)
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said that three boroughs
had slipped through and got their writs, and he hoped
the House would not permit the further inconsistency of
issuing a writ in this case, especially while two pieces of
legislation were pending for removing the evil.
Mr. STEWART said that the principle laid down by
the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir R. Peel) should
guide their votes. There were no grounds for suspend-
ing this writ, then why suspend it? It there was ground
for charging bribery, they might suspend the writ, but
unless they had that, there was no ground for suspend-
iug the writ.
Mr. GORING said he was surprised at the conduct of
her Majesty's Government. They voted for a new writ
for Derby, where bribery was proved, and refused it to
Horsham, where no bribery was proved. He was not
surprised at the opposition of the Hon. Member for
Montrose to this motion, for he (Mr. Goring) hod always
considered his opinions at variance with the best prin-
ciples of the British Constitution.—(Hear and laughter.)
The despotic spirit of the spurious liberality he advo-
cated now showed itself in its true light. He always con-
sidered that it was the principle of the British Consti-
tution to consider a man innocent till he was proved to
be guilty, but the Hon. Member for Montrose would not
only find him guilty before he was proved to be so, but
would inflict the heaviest penalty, namely, disfranchise-
meut.—',Cheers.) The country and the House would
see from this to what tyranny they would be subjected
if the lion. Member succeeded, as he proposed, in up-
setting the established institutions of the country.
Mr. HUME, who rose amidst loud cries of " Spoke,"
said that he considered those to be the real despots and
destroyers of the constitution who voted for this mu-
tion.—(Cries of " Spoke," and " Divide.")
The douse then divided, when there appeared—

ARREST OF COL. BRISTOWE.
The O'GORMAN MAIION wished to know from
the Noble Lord whether he had received any official in
formation respecting the arrest of a British officer by
the Governraedt of Spain? The subject had excited
considerable interest.

Lord PALMERSTON said he had received informa-
tion to the effect that Cu]. Bristowe had been arrested
and expelled the Spanish territory. No reason, es far
as he knew, was assigned for that expulsion. He
thought it Lis duty to make inquiry on the subject,
and us yet had received no satisfactory answer.
THE SPANISH QUESTTON.
Mr. BANKES rose to move as an amendment to the
order of the day the resolution of which he had given
notice:—

"jbat this House learns with deep regret from a corre-
spondence between the British Government and the Govern-
ment of Spain, now on the table of this House, that a pro-
posed interference with the internal concerns of the Spanish
Government, as conducted under the authority and with the
entire approval of her Majesty's Ministers, has placed the
British Government and our representative at the Court of
Madrid in a position humiliating in its character, and which
is calculated to affect the friendly relations existing between
the Courts of Great Britain and Spain."

Amongst the singular events which distinguished the
Minister, per
from a friendly foreign country by the Court to which

firstle a st
itm singular,
ho was accredited, and it in no degree tended to dimi.
wish the singularity of this event to observe the manner
in which that fact had been received by her Majesty's
Government—the complacency, the quiet and tranquil-
lity, they evinced in regard to it. And yet, it was ut-
terly unexpected by them, because, a few days ago,
their answers to questions put to them on the subject
were to the effect, that notwithstanding any transac-
tions which had taken place, the friendly dispositions
of the two Courts were in no degree disturbed. So
little emotion did it excite in their minds, when on
a sudden they received a dispatch, informing them
of the extraordinary event, that were it not for ques-
tions put to him in that House, the Noble Lord the Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs would not have thought it neces-
sary to make any communication to this House, and they
should have learned this transaction for the first time,
as they had learned all other transactions relating to the
foreign diplomacy of the country, from the columns of
foreign newspapers. It did seem surprising that no
member of the Government, on receiving the report of
a transaction so utterly unexpected by them, should have
thought it right to give some explanation on so anxious
a subject—anxious to all who felt interested in the
honour and character of the country; and that it should
be left to a Member of the Opposition to give the Go•
vernment an opportunity of making this explanation. It
was asserted by the Duke of Sotomayor, or in the papers
before them, that the Cabinet of Great Britain did not
justify the conduct of their Ambassador. The Noble
Lord would now have an opportunity of stating
whether or not the Cabinet of Great Britain had given
authority to the Duke of Sotomayor to make any
such assertion. Tho Noble Lord ought to thank him
for giving him the present opportunity of making ex-
planations with regard to the real state of the question,
because he was greatly mistaken if he supposed that
there was any want of spirit in this country to resent
an affront to it in the person of their ambassador, or
that it would endure an injury of that description.—
(Hear, hear.) lie was of opinion that instead of being
premature, this debate was too lone delayed, and that
