DUBLIN.

At the sitting of the Committee this morning, Mr.
Rowe applied to the Committee on behalf of the sitting
Member to report to the House that the petitioners had
-neglected to:pay the expenses of their witnesses, who had
been brought from their homes in Dublin at great incon-
venienoe to themselves.
The Non.; CILIZAJLec said ho would consult the

Speaker as to the course usually pursued under such
circumstances, and report the result to-morrow morning.
The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' ma-
jority was then proceeded with, and in the course of the
day the petitioners succeeded in striking off another
vote.

NORTH CHESHIRE..
The evidence as to treating at Stockport was resumed.'
One witness stated that he was promised by one of Mr.
Leigh's agent that in the event of his losing his situa-
tion through voting for that gentleman another should
be procured for him. Upon the faith of this
promise he polled for Mr. Leigh, and was imme-
diately afterwards dismissed from the enrAployment
he was then engaged in. bubsequer,tly, how-
ever, :another situation was procured for him by the
gentleman who had canvassed him for Mr. Leigh, and he
was also paid 12s. for the loss he sustained in being out
of employment for a few days. On Vac polling day he
and a number of other voters were supplied with refresh-
ment tickets, but he understood that the publican who
honoured the tickets bad been informed that he would
not be paid his Bill till after the petition had been dis-
posed of. Another witness, while giving evidence of
treating, accidentally let out that before polling he met
one of Mr. Leigh's canvassers, to whom he stated
that he had a great disinclination to vote fur that gen-
tleman, whereupon the canvasser gave him 155., to set
his mind at rest on that point, and carried him off there
and then to poll for Mr. Leigh. A lengthened argument
arose as to whether this part of the evidence ought to
remain on the notes, or whether these two instances of
bribery could be pursued further. It was contended by
Mr. Merewether, the counsel for the sitting Member,
that, as the petitioners had abandoned their allegations
of bribery, the Committee ought not to allow the evi-
dence of bribery to proceed further. The Committee
decided against the objection.

VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY.

(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the proprietors was held to-day at
the George: and Vulture Tavern Cornhill:(Mr. Parnell
in the chair), for the purpose of considering the pro-
priety of rescinding a resolution passed at a general
meeting of the proprietors, on the 4th of May, by which
the committee were recommended not to incur any law
expenses in resisting the claims made on the company
for land-tax and sewers' rate, and to authorise the com-
mittee to resist payment of such claims, or either of
them. The advertisement convening the meeting having
been read, the minutes of the last general meeting were
recited, by which it appears that the amount of land-tax
demanded was 141. 11s. Bd. An amendment had been
moved that the Committee should pay the amount or
not, according to their discretion. The amendment was
negatived by a large majority.
The CHAIRMAN stated, that at the last meeting on
this subject, it had been very properly stated, that it was
not worth the while of the company, for such a sum as
a little more than 141., which was the amount demanded
of the proprietors. But it had been also properly stated
that the wedge, when once inserted, would soon be
driven home. And so it had proved, for instead of 5641.,
which was the amount to which the property was formerly
assessed, the rate had now been charged on no less a sum
than 5,968/., and the land-tax, instead of amounting to
about 161., was now 1511. The same rule held with regard to
the sewers' rate, for though the only charge now levied
was upon 6001. on the Surrey side, yet there was every
reason to believe that the same excess as had been ob-
servable in the land-tax would also be noticeable in the
sewers' rate.
A resolution was then submitted, giving to the direc-
tors legal powers to resist these charges, or not, as they
might think best, the Chairman stating that Sir Fitzroy
Kelly bad positively given his opinion that the shares
being personal property, the bridge was not liable to
land-tax.
A conversation ensued, from which it appeared, that
although the probability was great that the imposition
of the land-tax might be avoided, a resistance to the
sewers' rate was hopeless, at least so far as the costs
. were concerned. The resolution was ultimately divided
into two, one for rescinding the resolution previously
passed, so far as the land-tax was concerned, and the
other with respect to the sewers' rate, and both were
passed.
Thanks were then voted to tho Chairman and com-
mittee, and the meeting was dissolved.
