" A popular meeting was held at Hobart Town on the 28th
ult., for the purpose of discussing whether it is proper that
Van Diemen's Land should still continue to be a prison on a
large scale ; or whether, by abolishing its penal character, it
should ba placed on the same footing as the other British co-
lonies,

We regret to learn that the intelligence from all the agricul-
tural districts coincides with if at from Nepeau, which appears
unfaveerable. Owing to the prolonged drought, vegetation is
everywhere parched up. Political feelings run unusually
high :!it Hobert Teova, and the alleged popularity of the Lieut.
Governor is of a very questionable description."
The Canton papers state that they have received a Sand-
wich
Island newspaper of eight pages quarto. It is printed
and published at Owyhee. From the wood cuts which it con-
tains, it is observed that the editor is informing the natives on
natural history.

The New Brunswick papers state that remonstrances have
been made to the Executive of the Province, in the first in-
stance by an Address from the House of Assembly, and sub-
sequently by a petition from the eastern counties, on the sub-
ject of complaint, in a subjoined petition to his Majesty (which
is of great length) and that they have failed to procure redress
from the Provincial Government; therefore they have deter-
mined to lay their grievances at the foot of the Throne.
THE FUNDS.

Stock Exchange, arising out of the late disastrous accounts.
One of them is a first-rate speculator, and the differences he
had to pay were 170,0001. Seventy thousand pounds are owing
to him ; and had he received the above sum, he would have
paid 20s. in the pound.

A juvenile fete is to be given at the Beulah Spa

A memorial to the Lords of the Treasury is in
course of signature from the inhabitants of the parishes of St.
Martin's-in-the-Fields, St. Giles, St. George Bloomsbury,
St. Paul Covent-garden, and St. Mary-le. Strand, praying
them-to take into consideration the public benefit which would

Lord John Scott, the Hon. Member for Roxburgh-
shire, prefers hunting otters to attending Parliament, and
spearing eels to the interests of his constituents. He may be
seen at these sports almost daily on the Teviot, along with a
number of idle boys. Next time the electors have an oppor-
tunity of recording their opinions ok' Lord John's fitness to re-
present the County, ti:f ;Ibuve quaiitications for an M.P. will

Mr. CRIPPS—By a former clause the electicn is confined
to one day,
Mr. YOUNG was not aware of that. He appealed to the
Hon. Member for Finsbury to say whether the scenes that
took place at the last electioa for Middlesex, were not very de-
morslizing. He was of opinion that the parties themselves
did not consider it a valuable privilege, and therefore if the
matter were pressed to a division, he would vote for the clause
as it stood.
After a few words from Captain CURTEIS and Mr. C.
Ross,
Sir M. W. RIDLEy thought the Hon. Member was
acting upon a wrong principle in bringing forward such a
clause as this, which tended to take away the rights of the
lower classes. Though he did not think very highly of what
was called the march of intellect, he conceived that this was
not the time to take away any of the rights of the lower
classes. That was a principle which he had advocated during
the discussion on the Corporation ReforM Bill, and if that
principle was not carried out in the working of this Bill, it would
be a very obnoxious and objectionable one.—(Hear, hear.)
The expenses of Coroners were very enormous; and yet if
the question were put to any Coroner throughout England, he
would say he was ill paid. Still, however, there were men to
be found, who, for the sake of distinction, or influence, or pro-
gress in their respective professions, were ready enough to
become candidates ; and in the choice of men to fill such office,
why should any be excluded from voting, merely because he
possessed a smaller amount of property than another man ?
Mr. WARBURTON thought that if the Hon. Member op-
posite intended to propose any amendment upon this clause
he should do so at once. He was decidedly opposed to the
limitation of the election to eight hours, because it would have
the effect of making the struggle more violent between the
parties, whose object would then be to try who could first get
possession of the polling place, and bring up the greatest
numbers on their own sid to keep possession, to the exclusion
of the other party, and therefore nothing could be appre-
hended from such a clause but the most disorderly and tu-
multuous proceedings.
Mr. HARDY proposed as an amendment, that every elec-
tion of Coroner shall be by a majority of persons in the district
at the time of the election, who shall be freeholders resident
within the district, and also of all such persons resident within
the said district, who shall be possessed of an estate of land or
tenements that shall entitle them to vote for Knights of the
Shire, under the Reform Bill. He saw no objection to this
principle.
Captain CURTEIS said a few words, which were inaudi-
ble in the Gallery.
Major BE AUCLERK was one of those who voted for the
clause referred to by the Hon. Baronet, for taking away the
rights of freemen. He certainly had given that vote with
much regret, but he was yet to learn that the vote was a
wrong one. He voted upon the principle that a strong case
had been made out against the freemen, but he would not say
that those who had come to an opposite opinion were not in
the right. To the present amendment he would give his
warm support, and he hoped they would go back to the origi-
nal principle of giving every freeholder the right to vote.
Sir G. STRICKLAND was inclined to extend the fran-
chise as widely as possible. He thought that the amendment
of the Hon. Member for Bridport was very valuable. Who
were the persons most interested in the election of Coroners ?
Why, the poorest men in the county..—( Hear, hear.) What
advantage would it be to a Noble Lord that an inquiry should
take place as to how his death happened? But the poor man
had a deep interest in such an inquiry, and he therefore
thought they ought to try to extend and increase the elective
franchise, and not to lessen it.—( Hear, hear.)
Sir JOHN WROTTE SLE Y did not object to giving the
freeholders the right to vote for Coroners, but if they were to be
at the expense and trouble of a registry, it was surely most de-
sirable to make it available for the purposes of this Bill ; it was
also desirable that the poll should take place on one day.
Capt. CURTE IS was understood to object to the poll taking
place in one day, especially in large agricultural districts. He
should prefer to see the 10/. householders let in to vote.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET--All those who now
had a right to vote in boroughs or out of it would still retain
the right to vote. The consequence would be that the consti-
tuents of the Hon. Member would not lose any of their rights_
