(LEFT SPEAKING.)

The Government has decided on making Deptford
and Plymouth the emigration depots. The South-Western
Railway Company offered to convey emigrants and all their
luggage from London to Southampton, and place the whole
on board ship in Southampton docks at 6s. per head if Go-
vernment would make Southampton the depot, and enable
the emigrants t• avoid the dangers and delay of that part of
the Channel voyage between the Thames and the Isle of
Wight. A deputation, consisting of Mr. Willcox, M.P., Sir
Alexander Cockburn, Mr. Scott, M.P., the Mayor of South-
ampton, J. R. Stebbing, Esq., President of the Southampton
Chamber of Commerce, had an interview with Mr. Hawes,
the Colonial Under-Secretary, on Saturday, relative to the
Government selection of the emigration depots. The whole
of the correspondence on the subject of the selection will be
moved for in a few days in the House of Commons. It is
calculated that the value of a depot to a town will average
about 200,0004 per annum. The emigration department is
becoming of great magnitude. The fees of the Government
emigration agent at Plymouth will, it is expected, amount
very shortly to 2,0001. a year.

At a meeting of the Lincoln mngistrates, on
Thursday morning,l Mr. Thomas sapper, surgeon, residing
at Dorking, in Surrey, was fined 31. for an assault on the
Dean of Lincoln,

ELECTION COMMITTEE, April 14.
ST. ALBAN'S,

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The room was cleared for the Committee to consider
a special report, and on our being re-admitted,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had
come to the following resolutions:—
" That, notwithstanding successive special adjourn-
ments of the Committee for the purpose of procuring the
attendance of persons whose evidence was proved to be
most material to the prosecution of the case of the peti-
tioners, such evidence has not been produced; and that,
although all diligence has been used for the purpose of
securing the attendance of the parties required, such
endeavours have been unsuccessful.

" That it has, therefore, been impossible for the Com-
mittee to thoroughly investigate the allegations of the
petition referred to them.

" That it has been distinctly stated by some witnesses,
and the general tenor of the evidence given leads the
Committee to believe that a system of gross corruption
prevailed at the last election for the borough of St.
Alban, and also on former similar occasions.
" That it is the opinion of the Committee that further
inquiry, by means of a Commission under legislative
authority should be made, into the corrupt practices
alleged to be customary at elections for the borough of
St. Alban."

IMPERIAI:PARMAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 14,
ST. ALBAN'S ELECITION.
(Continued from our Third Edition of last night.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said the question they had then
o consider was what they should do with Mr. Edwards.
It was evident that he could not be left in the custody
of the Sergeant-at-Arms for the purpose for which he
had first been sent there, because the Committee had
already been dissolved, and that purpose was at an end.
They should, therefore, either discharge him or Fend
him to Newgate. Under all the circumstances of the
case it appeared to him to be desirable that they should
take the course recommended by his Hon. and Learned
Friend the Master of the Rolls, and that they should ad-
journ their final decision on the question until to-morrow
(this day). Mr. Edwards would have an opportunity of
coming forward in the meantime, and either expressing
contrition for his offence, or stating that he wished to be
examined at the bar or heard by his counsel, fcr the
purpose of proving his innoeence. In order to carry
out that view of the matter, he (Lord J. Russell) should
move that the debate be adjourned until to-morrow
(this day).
Mr. HUME said he thought that any further ad-
journment of that question would only be trifling with
the House.—(Hear, hear.) If ever an individual de-
served censure and punishment from that House it was
the party implicated in that case, who appeared to have
so greatly contributed to frustrate the inquiries of jus-
tice. In his (Mr. Hume's) opinion, they ought to send
that person to Newgate until he should have presented a
proper petition to the House.
Sir R. H. INGLIS said that the House could not take
the unaworn statement of Mr. Edwards in opposition to
the sworn evidence of two witnesses and the report of a
Committee. If that person were to express his contri-
tion the House might extend to him its mercy; but
without such an expression of contrition he (Sir R. H.
Inglis) would not be disposed to allow him to be dis-
charged.
Sir J. GRAHAM said there appeared to be some
doubt about the facts of that case. He wished to know
whether Mr. Edwards had been committed for a con-
tempt of that House, or for the purpose cf obtaining
from him further evidence. If he had been committed
for contempt he (Sir J. Graham) could not see that he
had done anything to purge himself of that contempt.
It was quite clear that he was not in a position as yet to
ask any lenity on the part of the House. Ile thought
both the original motion and the amendment ought to
be withdrawn, and that Mr. Edwards ought to be com-
mitted to Newgate. Let him present a petition to• m
row, and if it should be couched in proper terms, he had
no doubt the House would listen to it.—(Hear.)
Mr. AGLIONBY (who rose among cries of " Spoke,")
said he was about to speak on the question of adjourn-
ment, and was therefore in order. The Right Hon. Ba-
ronet had expressed great indignation, as though the
offence charged had been proved; but he denied that it
had been proved before the House. There was no tri-
bunal in the country which would commit a man to
Newgate without giving him an opportunity of defend-
ing himself'. A man brought before a magistrate had an
opportunity of hearing the evidence brought against him,
and of being asked if ho had anything to say in his de-
fence,

An Flom. MEMBER—He might be taken to the station-
house first.
Mr. AGLIONBY denied that there was any parallel
between the two cases, for here they proposed to commit
by way of punishment. What right had they to call on
a man to express his contrition when he denied the
charge brought against him? He stated in his petition
that it was totally false and untrue that he liJd prevented
the attendance of Waggett, and that he had never com-
mitted a breach of the privileges of the House, and be
prayed, therefore, that he might not be condemned tia•
heard. He had communicated with the gentleman who
had put that petition into his hands, and asked whether
he wished to be called to the bar of the House; and the
answer was, that he expected to be discharged without
being called to the bar, but that ho desired and was per-
fectly ready to be called to the bar at any time, and he
was willing to attend that moment and answer any ques-
tions which they might think fit to ask. If they required
that he should approach them by the more formal mode
