9. Bribery, on the part of a candidate, or any one else, to
be punished by a heavy fine, imprisonment, incapacitation
for filling any office, and disfranchisement. Persons endea-
vouring, also, by dishonourable means, threats, treating, and
the like, to induce a voter to vote for a particular candidate,
or demanding to see him sign his voting paper, or to see it
after it is signed, or opening it after it i 3 sealed up, or making
any mark upon it, shall in each and all such cases be subject
to fine, imprisonment, and disfranchisement.
10. On the day of election no flags, banners, colours,
music, or processions to be allowed, orother party demonstra-
tions tending to excite. the passions of the people to dis-
orderly conduct and breach of the peace.
At elections conducted on the foregoing system every
voter, whether sick, bed ridden, infirm, or absent from home,
would be capable of
exercising his privilege of voting; and
every voter would rote at his own house in a peaceable man-
cer. There would be no intoxicating of voters, feasting
them at publichouses, shutting them up or stealing them
away to prevent their voting. conscientiously; no bullying,
insulting, and assaulting of voters when going to give their
votes; no false swearing; no hiring of bullies armed with
bludgeons to intimidate the peaceable voters; no breaking
of windows, mobs and rioting, and calling in the aid of the
police and miaary, because the public safety was endangered.
The town and neighbourhood would be left in as quiet a state
as before theelection • personal animosities would be lessened,
and the injurious and malicious system of exclusive dealing
arising therefrom would be much less frequent. There would
be no mischievous and demoralising system of exciting the
passions of the populace by music, flags, drunkenness, and
processions ; and public-houses would not be opened for
dining and treating of voters who came from a distance, thus
incurring a double expense on the candidates for conveyance
and treating. And lastly, but not least, the Members' ex-
penses incurred in elections carried on ia this way would be
merely nominal, and their constituents would therefore have
better grounds for hoping they would do their duty more
honestly by them in Parliament, and not turn and sell them
for pecuniary considerations or office, as it is feared has too
frequently been done where the Member has been put to an
unreasonable expense. The respect and good feeling between
Member and voter would become real and not affected.
All these advantages, and many more, would be gained by
the foregoing plan of conducting elections and taking votes,
and which are not enjoyed by the method of voting now in
use, and which cannot be enjoyed even under the system of
vote by ballot as hitherto proposed. It is likewise superior
to the ballot, because it would have a double advantage of
being exercised both openly and secretly. To his neighbour
or friend, the voter might, if lie pleased, disclose his senti-
ments, and show him for whom he had voted ; the voter
who needed secrecy or protection in exercising his privilege
of voting conscientiously would be benefited by it, because
the wretch who would like to influence him in voting dare
not attempt to coerce the voter to vote for whom he pleased,
nor yet demand to see his voting paper signed, or to see it
after it was signed, for fear of the law which would fine, im-
prison, and disfranchise him. Besides, the timid voter might
mark his voting paper soon after he received it and seal it
up, and no one would dare to open it.
It is superior to the ballot, also, in another respect—that
is, the voter can vote at his own house; but by the ballot
systerri the voter must go to the ballot-box which may be
miles from his house, and in the confusion which prevails at
elections, an ignorant or timid voter might as well put his
ballot into the wrong as into the right part of the ballot-box,
whereas at his own house, by the system proposed, he would
have five or six days to reflect on before he marked his voting
mpaupeeirl. n

so-much this
s.mfoureeghoivnagopaltaend,

”
than we yet have, or ever can, by our present' disgraceful and
unjust method of conducting elections.
In conclusion, I would say to those who approve of the
ballot, "Can you state any objections to this
being capable of giving all the security to the votern
which
whlicolta
the ballot offers, and that it does not secure much greater
benefits to the voter, Member of Parliament, and the public ?"
To those who dislike the ballot, "Would you not prefer the
method proposed to that of the ballot?"—and to those who
so much admire the present manner of voting and conduct-
' ing of elections, " Tell me why you prefer driving the honest
and respectable voter to give his vote personally at the
polling-booth (and, perhaps, driven up to vote against his
own conscience and the interests of ,his fellow-subjects),
amidst the yells, insults, assaults,'" riots, and bloodshed, of
ruffianly and -fiendish mobs, hired for the unholy work of
carrying the election by brute force, in order to get some
corrupt Member returned, who, in return for the infamous
support they have given him, will, as soon as he is seated,
vote away their and their honest neighbours' birthrights?"

I'Clcr, \i`'ett, aged IS, servant in the employ of Mr. Abbot, book-
ihcw-17),°1.,21,0, Tottenham-court-road, committed suicide under the
""rii I ''llle,ultir circumstances. It appeared that the deceased had

suspended to the kitchen-door, with a rope fixed
ktl44.Muild her neck. A surgeon was called in, but life was quite
The body now Await; the Inquest.

Two or three minute discrepancies in the plans were explained by
Mr. Brunel as being occasioned by shrinking of the paper.
An allegation as to an inaccuracy in the mileage—a distance de•
scribed as one mile being, according to the scale, much more than a
mile—was declared to be proved.
It was next alleged that a field belonging to a Mr. Wyse, and ad-
joining one marked No. 1, also his property, was not numbered in
the plan.
It was represented by the promoters of the Bill that this field and
that marked No. I were in fact the same, and that a brook, said by
the petitioner to be the boundary, was in fact no boundary at all.
The figure " 1" was intended to apply to the whole field.
A witness was called to prove that tha brook served as a boundary,
and prevented the cattle from passing into one field from the other.
Ile knew the owner to he the same, but had " an impression" that
there were two occupiers.

Mr. BURKE said it was clear that the geld in question was num-
bered, but might be numbered improperly, being numbered as one.
The Committee, however, confirmed the allegation, and declared
the standing orders not complied with.
The next point raised was one as to the omission of a certain house
iron the book of reference. A witness was called to prove the exist-
ence of a house which he saw In January last, but it was then un-
finished, an I he admitted on cross•examination that it might have
been begun after the 30th of November. The allegation fell to the
ground.

several ether allegations were then read and disposed of, the
standing orders being declared not complied with in more than one
instance.

At fear o'clock the Speaker being announced at prayers, the Com-
mittee adjourned to Tuesday next. •

MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, SOUTHAMPTON-BUILD-
INGE.—On Wednesday evening Mr. Henderson delivered the
concluding lecture on " Lyndon "!o one of the most
judging from the applause, nume-
ancl
rous audiences of the scssien,
the subject gave entire satisfaction. Various statistics were
brought forward of considerable interest, and while informa-
tion was imported, a captivating cheerfulness, and healthful-
ness of tone pervaded the entire discourse. The pictorial
illustrations exceeded in our opinion the last, especially
" Bucklersbury in the olden time," which was worthy the
pencil of the first artist in that particular line; we hope to
become more familiar with the works of AIL Shalders.
