[PRICE 41). STAMPED 5D .1

Mr. LlNDsir, after alluding to some topics of local
interest, said his vote was given for Mr. Milner Gibson's -,
amendment, which was the means of throwing out the .::
Palmerston Government--(applause)—and declared that
if be bad the same vote to give again he would give it ..
over and over again on the same side without one mo-
ment's hesitation. And further than that, he was one
of the small minority of 99 who voted against the intro-
duction of the Conseeracy Bill. (Loud applause.) He had read enough of history to know that wherever libert —,-

went backward, he said to himself he rejoiced !hear-
tily that he was one of the 99 who resisted even the 'l-7
introduction of that measure. (Prolonged applause.)
He bad heard that an attempt was to be made to throw -'l*
out the present Administration upon their India Bill.
He did hope no such attempt would be made, Fee vim
a liberal, an advanced liberal ; but he must tell them
frankly that he did not wish to see the Whigs back
again—(a laugh)—and as frankly that he did not want
to see the present Administration in office for any great
length of time, but just long enough to break up the
Whig party and allow the advanced Liberals to take
office. (Loud cheers.) He had said it before in that
room, and he would say it again, that we should never
get any progress out of the Whigs. As to the Reform
Bill promised last session, Lord Palmerston knew it was
all moonshine, (" Hear," and a laugh.) He (Lord Pal-
merston) never had the most distant idea of bringing one
in, and if he had bee 4 forced to do it, it would have
been one which no reformer would have accepted, and
he would have turned round and said, " I brought one
in, and you would not have it." He, for one, was ready
to believe that they would be likelier to get a Reform
Bill from the present than from the past administration.
(Lauehter.) As to the India Bill, he could not see how
Parliament could possibly grant the Government the
second reading of the bid as it stood. The principles of
the bill brought in by Lord Palmerston and of that of
Lord Derby were exactly alike ; the preambles were
word for word the same. The difference consisted in the
machinery, and with a great deal of that portion of the
present bill he could not agree. Lord Palmerston's bill
said there aliould be eight members of the council
elected by the Queen ; Lord Derby's said 13. From
what Le knew i f the business of the Best India Com-
pany, he was of opinion that eight were too few and 18
too many, and that 12 would be a better number. With
the qualifications he could not agree. As a man of busi-
ness he knew them to be utterly impracticable and alto-
gether absurd. For instance, one of them was that a man
should have manufactured goods fur, or shipped goods
to, India to be eligible. Now a man might be engaged all
his life in manufaciurn g goods for India, and know
notling at all about that c uotry. (Hear.) His friend
the chairman manufactured a great many iron cables and
chains, which were probably used in India, but did he
thereby know more about that country than he would
Lave done otherwise ? Then another qualification was a
residence of 10 years in India, and there was a restric-
tion as to district. The residence he did not find fault
with—he thought it essential—but ha would not confine
the selection to particular localities, for if he could find
a better man in Bengal than in Madras he would atones
take him. (Hear.) He would sweep away all these mi-
nute datails, which would make the bill utterly unwork-
able, and would adopt the proposal to have men named in
the bill as the members, and when they went out of office
by rotation he would have them appointed by the execu-
tive. (Cheers.) Over the pets ins appointed he would put
a check to this extent, that an rvidreisa from both Houses
of Parliament should at any moment, if they were
not attentive to their duties, supersede them, and he
would take away from them altogether that great stunt
bqug bi, c'..t of patronage. Tney could get men of the
v-ry highest official position who would be glad to take
their seats at the Conned Board of India without any
patronage. (Hear.) Ho would, however, rather see it
in the Lands of the members of council than those of the
executive, and yet he did not want to see it there, for,
he was sorry to say, it had been Fib'-,ed in days gone by
and would be jobbed again. (Cheers.) The hon. mem-
ber then hinted at the pssibitity of devising a scheme
under which junior appointint,nls in India should be at
the disposal of all the constuencies in turn, the nominees
being subj.-et to the test of competitive ex tmination.
He also condemned the principle of a secret committee
of Indian affairs. There was one clause in the bill of the
present Government in which he heartly agreed, and
that was that providing fur the appointment of a corn-
mi:,ti e to inquire into the finances of India The financial
question appeared to him the most difficult to deal with.
In a time of vane we had a deficit of two millions a
year, and great authorides informed him that we could
not, by the present meant, raise more revenue than we
were Low doing. Well, then, if that were the case, it we
were to be responsible for the debt of India, let us see
by what means the revenue cull be raised so as to meet
the expenditure. Ttlii question was of greater impor-
twice now than before, because if we took India into
our own hands, we should be t-x.)eetsd to develop her
resources by the construction of railroads and the for-
matien of great public works, which we should have no
means of doing. (Hear, and cheers ) Therefore the
sooner the Government settled the question of responsi-
bility the better. The hon. gentleman resumed his seat
amidst prolonged applause.

vions week would more than make up the defici-
ency on the next exhibit. The increase in the dis-
counts was somewhat larger than was anticipated.
The discounts as now reported were $14,132,282

The bulk of the accessions was obtained from de-
posits made on account of subscriptions to Trea-
sury Notes. The revenue from Customs and lands
did not increase, thus showing that the imports and
the demand for the public domain remained com-
paratively light.

The American Exchange Bank was authorised to
a limited extent to cash on presentation the unpaid
draughts of Sather and Church, of San Francisco,
whether payable at the counter of that bank or
elsewhere. A similar arrangement applied to the
draughts of W. 0. Sleeper &Co., of Columbia, Cali-

steady ; middling upland, 12c. The deptessionl n
the market for State and Western flour continued,
thei e being no demand for export, and only a limits d
inquiry for home use. The stock, though light, was
ample for existing wants, and the continued adverse
accounts from abroad, with the probability cf an
early resumption of canal navigation, created a de-
sire on the part of holders to realise on the best
terms offering—viz., a decline of 5 cents. from the
previous Friday ; Canada flour was also dull at a
slight reduction ; Southern flour was without
change. The market for wheat remained dull and
depre=sed, and a decline of fully 3 cents. bad been
submitted to on the medium grades. The demand
was limited to the urgent war is of the local millers,
the adverse accounts from Europe not warranting
shippers to operate at the ruling currency. The
stock was light, but fully adequate to the present
requirements. Scotch pig iron was in better re-
quest The prices of molasses were well supported.
Crude turpentine quiet ; spirits of turpentine were
in good retail demand, and about 1,500 barrels (in
addition to those previously reported) were going
forward to England and the Continent. Rosins
were firm ; provisions heavy. Rice was more
active. Sugar was in demand at higher rates.
There was a fair demand for tobacco. Freights
were dull and unchanged.

MR. JAMES WILSON'S TENANTS AND
CONSTITUENTS AT WESTBURY.

In the Bath County Court on Saturday, before Mr. J.
G. Smith and a special jury, an action was brought by
rsfr. Wilson, M.P., of Ciaverton Manor, near Bath, one
of the Secretaries of the Treasury under Lord Palmer.
ston's Administration, against William Bolwell, a
miller, of Westbury Leigh Mill, for the recovery
of 231. 163. 6d., two years rent of land rented by
him in the parish of Westbury. The defence was an
extraordinary one —that Mr. Wilson had promised, at
he election of 1852, to let the defendant have the land
free of rent, if defendant would vote for him, or if he
should be injured or lose his customers, in consequence
of voting for him. Defendant, who had no legal adviser,
told his story in the witness box, as follows :

"Ho (Mr-. Wilson) said—' William, if you'll give me
your vote, I'll let you more land, either arable or pas-
ture land, if yon want it ; and if you want money to
crop the land with, I will let you have it.' He said,
' William, there is not a tenant I have got but what I
have let have money too.' I told him again, if I gave
him my vote I should be giving him the bread out of my
mouth ; and he said, whatever I was injured he would
pay me. He said, ' William, if you are injured, I will
never ask you for one penny for the land.' He said,
' William, if you are turned out, I'll find you more land,
either arable or pasture.' He said, if so be as I was
turned our, he would find me a house to live in, or, if I
chose to go to London, there was a large establishment
about to start there. He was well acquainted with the
parties, and he would get me a good foreman's place, if
I liked to go. He also promised me a great many times
that whatever I was injured he would pay me. After
promising me a great many times I said he should have
my vote, and no other man, whether I should sink or
swim. On those conditions I gave him my vote. That
ends the evidence until after the election. Then, when
my man went round with the cart, some of them did
slam the door in his face when be went for grist, and tell
him to go to Wilson. My work was taken away. Some
farmers, of whom I before earned 63., ss. or 48., a-week,
would not employ me to grind grist, and from that time
to this I have lost at least 1001."
Defendant's wife, who was stated to have been pre-
sent at these interviews, confirmed his evidence.
Mr. Wilson himself was then sworn, and positively dee
nied that any such understanding or promise bad ever
been made. He gave the following account of the mat-
ter :—lu 1852, Mr. Clift was one of my agents engaged
in the election. At the commencement of the contest
he returned Mr. Bolwell as having promised his vote for
me to hire. At that time I did not know Mr. Bolwell,
nor did I see him till some time afterwards. In a week
or two afterwards I called to thank him for the pro-
mise he had given to Mr. Clift. He then stated thtet

B4well to the rent of the land. About the middle of
1854, in going over my agent's accounts, I found an ar.
rear of rent against &Aware name. He stated that Bol-
well had maie an excuse that he had lost custom in con-
sequence of his vote, and had refused to pay his rent,
and moreover had been extremely abusive. I told him
that he must endeavour to obtain the rent. I explained
to Mr. Richard what had occurred, and that there was
no pretence for the excuse, and I authorised him to take
such steps as he might think proper to recover the rent,
but On no account to admit the plea which Bolwell had
act up for not payng it.
His Honour observed that it was a question of credi-
bility between plaintiff and defendant ; but, taking into
contHeia,lon the other circumstances and the probabili-
ties of the case, he thought it would be difficult to come
to any other conclusion than that the case of the defen-
dant was not f aunded in truth. He must say that to his
mind ail the circumstances tended to confirm the state-
ment of Mr. Wilson.
