Blacklmrsie very properly opposed on Wed-
pc:-.:lay night the disfranchisement clause in the
)sser's Bill, which clause goes to abolish the com-
sre:,.: law right of the 40s. freeholders to elect the
C„goners in their respective counties. We opposed the
Coroners' Bill brought in last year, which contained
a clause, not only on account of that clause,
hr.' also in reference to the inadequate remuneration
:vided for medical men called in to snake post 'nor-
tt ,si ?xaminations, and to attend to give evidence at
t 1... inquest. That remuneration was most paltry, as
oft'..red to wen of science and education, for performing
of a eiceieult and sometimes dangerous descrip-
tik We have not seen the provisions of the present
1);!!. We only know, from what took place us the
11 :use, that it contains a clause to take away the
p•:or man's immemorial francli ge. If it be similar in
_i•egret that Mr.
ol!:cr respects to the former Bill, :ye
I:.•tekburne did not press his amendynent to throw it
o':t altogether. The former Bill, thougl2 it went to
disfranchise the poor man, was supported by the
" Liberals" in the House of Commons ; but the Lards
:yen that aristocracy whom the philosophers of the
'1 ii-skins' and Jenkins' school will allow to do nothing
i2;ist—threw out the Bill, and. so preserved the poor
.:111's franchise I We wish they had done the same
the Poor Law Amendment Act, and they would
rescued the poor from a Tomkins' and Jenkins'
.ranny, which is producing very extensive suffering
;,:td discontent, and which, we fear, will yet bring
rule serious evils upon England.--Morning Herald.
We cannot figure to ourselves a less enviable situa-
tiJii for a Member of Parliament than that in which
lolonel Evans and the other Metropolitan Members
rust now feel themselves placed by their vote of Thurs-
e-y evening, against Sir S. Whalley's motion for the
j; peal of the Window Tax. Can the Gallant Mem-
-- r for Westminster have forgotten the circumstances
urs.ler which he was returned to Parliament for that
:ty in May, 1833 ? Sir John C. Hobhouse had,
Le himself, stood pledged to vote for the repeal of this
very tax ; and, in consequence of a speech from the
t;liancellor of the Exchequer, stating that he could not
r:Ford to give up this tax, Sir John abstained from
voting, and was, in consequence, rejected by the elec-
too of Westminster for Colonel Evans, whose chief re-
casnmendation to them, at that time, was his uncom-
promising opposition to this tax of which he availed
linself, when, in January last," he' again had oc-
e—sion to solicit their suffrages, and when he
p:edged himself to bring forward a motion for the
t:peal of the Window Tax immediately on the open-
ing of Parliament. What v.-'.l the electors of West-
' -.Ulster think now, when they learn that he and
many of the other Metropolitan Members who had
pledged themselves to the repeal of the window tax,
voted against a motion, not for the immediate repeal of
this tax, but merely declaratory of its impolicy, thereby
expressing their opinion that this tax is not injurious
t) the health and comfort of the people, and that it
not desirable that it should be repealed ? A great
tleal has lately been said as to the conduct of the
It'lonourable Member for St. Andrew's, in refusing to
resign his seat when required to do so, because he had
/lot redeemed the pledges he was supposed to have
r: en to his constituents. Are the metropolitan Mem-
bcrs disposed to tender their resignation, like Sir J. C.
I iobhouse ? Or will they rather take warning by his
unhappy fate, and imitate the bolder, though ultimately
I,at more successful, example of Mr. Wm. Brougham?
The Learned Member for the .Tower Hamlets, one of
1\ fr. Johnstone's advisers, has indeed hitherto been so
fortunate as not to he called to account for his votes on
tilis question ; but will the constituency be equally
i.hiulgent to his colleague, who received their thanks
for his manly and independent conduct in voting against
this tax, while they required Dr. Lushington to resign
I.:s seat ? We trust that the miserable dilemma in
s hich these great Reformers have placed themselves
1::::y-put an end to the foolish and unconstitutional
plaice of either giving or demanding pledges.-

MILITARY EXPEDITION TO SPAIN.—In conse-
c u 'tee of the advertisement which appeared this morning, in-
,rating that Colonel Robinson would attend at the Office in
; ming Cross East, four doors from Trafalgar-square, to give
ry requisite information relative to the enlistment into
ti..t force about to be raised for the Queen of Spain, by di-
r. 'ion of the Spanish Minister, General Alava, to be
c amanded by Colonel de Lacy Evans, that office was
evewded throughout the day by applicants of every grade,
• ,irous of joining the expedition. As the arrangements are
• hardly organized, little more was done than receiving in-
-1 ::nation and giving addresses. A great many officers, we
lerstand, of the highest rank and character have sent in
tl it cards for appointments. It is intended to raise fourteen
battalions of infantry, three of artillery, and one of rifles. The
tr( ips will be raised principally in Ireland, a Committee being
e pointed to sit in Cork for that purpose, and in Devonshire
a! ! Lancashire. It is proposed to send out a part of the force
it: :Wont a fortnight. Government, we learn, has offered ves-
sels for transports, which have been declined.
;SPANISH EXPEDITION.—AII measures relative to
tl fitting out of the Spanish expedition are proceeding with
e aaordinary activity. ; A contract was made to-day with the
c ners of some large steam-vessels to convey troops from Ire-
-1:. d to the Spanish coast, and so ample are the means at lis-
p ,a 1 in this respect, -that one vessel will leave the river on
t; ,t service in the course of to-morrow or Sunday. Tenders
f arms, ammunition, and warlike stores, on moderate terms,
an.: any length of credit that may be desired, are coming
rvidly into the office of Mr. Carbonell, to whom the mol-
t. •sariat department of the expedition is confided, and assis-
tance in money is proffered on all sides. There has been
se Inc proposal in circulation for calling a public meeting of
p. :sons connected with Spain, in order to raise subscriptions,
bt.t the extent to which they are volunteered by persons hay-
it large stake in the result appears to render sucKa pro-
Fteding wholly unnecessary, except for the moral force which
would give to the Queen's cause to find the most respec-
tahle merchants of London advocating it in so open a man-
ne • Am(ing the officers who have volunteered for the Spa-
expedition is said to be the brave Admiral Napier, who
is cot unacquainted with the land service, and expects to reap
L 'lb laurels in that department. It is not unlikely that Ge-
ne. d Bacon; who distinguished himself in the command of
the eavalry during the Portuguese campaign, will have a
ow-inland also in this expedition. The Gallant General,
wilt-) is now in Paris, was in London recently, and fore-
ing that the Carlists could not be put down without such
att,i...tance, had offered his services, in the anticipation that
ti--0.-nuld be required. The best results are now confidently
1e,./ted fen; and within a very short period.
4. The enlistment of men for the service of the Queen'
of Spain commenced openly on Thursday, and several able
ar.d active young !men offered themselves in lower West-
master to enlist, and it is expecieJ that the number of men
w.lnted will soon be obtained. Colonei Erans, M. P., trans-
litet.2d business on Tuesday and yesterday at the Foreign Of-
firs, which has given rise to a rumour that this Gallant Officer
• be speedily employed on an important mission in the
p,,,insuja.. There are two regiments ready to embark forth-
• and oibers will soon be ready to proceed to Portugal,
should their services be deemed necessary, to unite with the
P.rtu,ruese army of observation on the Spanish frontier.
These demonstrations, it is expected, will have the desired d-
feet on the obstinacy of Don Carlos and his adherents.
