ELECTION COramiTfEEF.—(This Day.)

LAMBETH.

Tile committee re-mseratil, d this morning al., 12

&el-J(1.
Mr. Trewman, who v-as tin 7er ex%mioation yesterday
afternoon for a short time was re-caled and examined by
Mr. Edwin James, Q C,, in reference to payments made
at various public houses where Mr. rourJeTs committees
and sub-committees assembled. In those rooms with
which he was connected there were unpaid committee
men and paid eanvavers. The central comrdttee I, new
of no paid chairmen, tut some of the chairmen of the
sub-committees might have acted as canvassers and been
paid for their eervice,. When 1.-m'a cases came under
the notice of the central committee, their names were
struck off the hat.
In his crosa•examination by Mr. Phico, the witness
stated that he ha•l never paid anything or proulised ans-
tbint;•for a vote during the elecion, It was at his sug-
gestion that the arranzements were made for dividing
the borough into districts, so that there might be a more
regular and systematic canvas cf the electors, a large
majority of whom were unpolled at previous elections.
The committees were presided over by gentlemen of in-
fluence in the bonne), and no man was paid as a
chairman.

A number of persons who acted as agents were exa-
mined, and gave similar testimony to that already pub
limbed.
Mr. Roupell was Examined. He stated that Lie
agents were directed to use no intimidation or undue
influence, nor were they to pay voters for cervices ren-
dered to indace them to vote for him. He further
stated that the night before the petition came on he was
called out of the lobby of the house, and informed by
'one of the petitioners' agents clerks that if he would only
say he would not proceed for costs the petition would be
withdrawn. He need not say he would, but merely
move his finger if he assented to the proposition. He was
also informed that if be would became a director of the
South London Railway and would use his influence to
pass the bill, the petition would be withdrawn in 20
minutes. He declined to do either.
This evidence suddenly chewed the petitioner's case.

The committee will assemble to-morrow to consider
the decision.

BATH.
The committee re-assembled thin morning at the usual
beer, and proceeded with the scrutiny.

BURY ST. EDMUNDS.

The committee re-assemllsd this morning to consider
the evidence given before them, but they had not arrived
at a decision when our deQpwch left.

MAYO.

The committee delivered their decision in this case at
half-past three o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Soho!afield, the chairman, stated that the com-
mittee were of opinion that Mr. Moore, the sitting
member, had been guilty by his agents of undue
influence, and they declared his election void. The conn-
mAtee were also of opinion that undue influence and
spiritual intimidation was made use of to a great extent,
e-pecially by Fathers Conway and Ryan ; and the com-
mittee deemed it their duty tv report their conduct t 3
the house in order that such steps might be taken in re-
ference to them as the house might think proper. The
committee were further of opinion that Mr. Moore did
not personally sanction, nor was he aware of the course
pursued by his friends and agents.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(mss Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN EE G. DE STIRLING--OUTLAWRY.

This bankrupt bad carried on business as a miller,
&c., of Ormesby, Norfolk, and to-day was appointed
for his last examination. No accounts however had
been filed, nor did the bankrupt appear to surrender,
and he will therefore be outlawed in due form at the rising
of the Court. From evidence given on the last occasion
it appears that on one of -the crediteri calling at the
bankrupt's, be was coolly told by his wife, that the
bankrupt had got some money and had gone to Ame-
rica, and she knew nothing about him.
The debts proved amount to about 8001., and the
property at present secured by Mr. Johnstone, the mes-
senger of Mr. Holroyd's Court is estimated at about
2001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MAR LBO ItO Ef -STREET.

CaARGE 01 'MIMING DOOR-IMILLS IN PANTO:I-STREET.
This day two young men, who gave the name of
John Thomas and James AV,lllarns, and who were
fe,Lionably d-e47ed, were charged before Mr. Beadon
with ringing the door bells of the house of Mr. M. Wr.
I,,,,nthad, tailor, 5, Parton street.

The complainant stated that about half-past 6 o'clock
thA morning he was alarmed by hearing some of the
dcor bel!, ringing. Thinking the house was on fire, he
got up hastily and went down stairs. On opening t;A:t
street door he found the prisoners at the door. They
were intoxicated, and had a bunch of rotten flowers and
water cresses in they hands. H asked them what thuy
wanted, when one of them offered him a bunch of
Bowe', and anotLer some water cresses. He refused to
accept either, upon which Wail:lnas observed that if he
would nut take a bunch of rotten flowers, that he was
ware he was not fond of poetry.
Mr. Beation—llow often were tho bells rung
Complainant—Three times, sir. One of the prisoners
was enough to go for a policeman. A policeman
came, who evsntualy, span my representation, took the
pri4onefs to the a.ation house.
Mr. Lewis, whO attended fur the: prisoners, asked the
a)ropllinant.if there were not more persons at the door I
Complainant replied that there were, and that he re-
sided next door to a hcu,e of no very great repute.
Mr Lewis—Yes ; that is the case. There were other
young men there, who went to that house. The pri-
soners deny that they sang the bells of complainant's

SPORTING NOTES.

HARD '•TILES."

After all the boasting about Cock-a-doodieeloo feed
Greenfiech, people were much di,appointed by the
manner in which those horses "performed" last week
at Newmarket. To extenuate the Grey's inglerinus
exhibition several causes have been alleged, some to the
effect that he was "gut at," and others that he was
sent to the post unprepared. The horse's want of con-
dition may he accepted as an excuse for his defeat, but
still I am disinelieed to believe that John Scott would
have be.:=n se confident of success if tho horse were reelly
unfit. Cock-a-doodleeloa was the first beaten in the race,
but from the spirit which he was subsequently backed
fur the Derby, it is evident that some people do not
believe that he figured in his true colours at Newmarket.
Certain it is, that there wee something amiss with him,
fir it is said that the day after the race he refused his
cern and was not able to quit his stable. The youngsters
that figured for the Chesterfield were all heads and tails
at the finish, and indeed taking the two year olds that
ran at Newmarket altogether, I do not think "a flyer"
could be picked from them.
The letter which Lord Derby has addressed to the
Jockey Club has made a deep impression. Every genuine
reeling man admires its temperate tons and respects the
feelings which dictated it. The time has arrived when
the turf mnst be cleared of the abuses which are destroy-
ing it, and it is to be hoped that the Jockey Club will
earnestly commeace a work which they have too long
delayed. The members of the club ought to be aware
that they can exercise a most beneficial influence over
the people's pastime ; but they seem to think that their
self-sought po'i'ion entailed upon them no other trouble
and responsibility than those of making a trip to New-
market, hurrying through Form) dull routine business,
and occasionally discussing impracticable resolutions.
The present stewerde of the Jockey Ciub are popular
men, and much may be hoped from their social influence
and example. The Times has used the letter of Lord
Derby as a peg on which to hang some crude notions re-
specting the condition of the ring and the mod us operandi
of betting men. In an aricle, remarkable only for
recklessness of assertion and an ignorance of the subject,
the Times attempts to confound the blackleg and needy
adventurer with the true supporters of the turf.
All classes and conditions of racing men are
tarred with the same brush in Printing-
house-square, the potent, grave, and reverend seignors
of which affect to believe that a betting man must be a
rogue, and that because a few scamps have adopted
horse-racing as a ready means of duping the public, the
followers of the sport live by a systematic course of
plunder. Never was so unreserved an application of the
proverb of he that lies down with dogs will get up
with fleas. The distinction between the Stock Exchange
and Tattersalls is not very wide, and it would be some.
what difficult to mark the difference between the specu-
lator for a " rise" or " and the speculator on horse
racing. Recent disclosures have shown that the
morality of the commercial world is not greatly
superior to the morality of the sporting world ;
end, indeed, if the accounts were properly
reckoned the balance would, after all, be in favour of the
turf. Le sport bas too much vitality at present to be
destroyed by the malignant attacks which have been
made on it.

The Liverpool Meeting► will be celebrated to-morrow
and the two following days, and already have metropoli-
tan turfites taken their departure to assist at the gather.
ing. The racing will be both abundant and interesting,
and a continuance of fine weather will be an additional
inducement for pleasure-folk from the surrounding vil-
lages and towns to flock to the coarse. The
programme contains its usual number of items,
and I trust that the untiring exertions which Mr. Top-
ham has made to sustain the popularity of the gathering
will be duly appreciated by racing men. For the Mer-
sey Stakes the penalised animals are Polly Peachum,
Terrific, and York; and I shall expect to see Polly and
York occupy the first and s-coed positions. The Derby
and Oaks victress, Bnak Bonny, will, it is reported,
show for the Lancashire Oaks, and she may frighten al

her opponehti trona the field. For the Lentinck Test

monial Handicap I shall select Mongrel, Wardermareke,
and Sir Humphrey. For the Nursery Plate, Knockburn
and Broadlauds are ray "fancy." Flacrow and Princes
Riyal shall do battle for me for the Sweepstakes of 15
80,78.

From the spirit with wh.c% Rlgerthorpe has been
backed for the Liverpool Cup, we may infer that

he has vita recovered from the effects of the sore hocks
which he had at Stockbriig,e. If the horse be in form,
his success may be deemed as great a certainty
as the glorious uncertainty of the tort will admit.
Bashi-B:wiuk has ere now given prof of his staying
qualities and his gameness ; and although he will un-
doubtedly run forward, yet I fa-icy tbat he will succumb
to both Nowtou.le-Willows and Moose. Could I have

calculated upon a start, however, I should have selected
Lima alone of all the three-yr-olds to represent nay is-
terest. As it is,.l Wow the talent, and stand by

list of nominations. C ruing my eye down the list, my

St. Leger, with hor 9-lb penalty, some interest would be
created. She will be oppo,ed by Adamai:, who, if he has
of late done any work, will, I fancy, be the winner.

THE INDIAN REVOLT.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII was anxious to put
a question to the noble earl opposite with reference to
the news which had just been received from India, and
with reference also to the course which her Majesty's
Government intended to pursue. It was now three
months since the minds of most men had been directed
to the state of the army in that country, and every mail
which had since arrived had only tended to increase the
anxiety which was felt. Neverthelese, no official infor-
mation whatever had been given by her Majesty's Go-
vernment to Parliament ; but they bad been left to de-
pend upon private letters, and upen articles in news-
papers. The empire was in danger, but they knew
nothing whatever either with respect to the causes of
that danger, or with respect to the measures which had
been adopted by the Government to meet it. (Hear,
hear.) That was a state of things which ought not to
be allowed to c ;ntinue. They were told by successive
telegraphs that the crisis was past, that the danger was
over, and that things had been at their worst. But that
was not so. In cases like this, when extensive mutinies
had taken place, things only went on from bad to
worse, until the strong hand of power interfered and
established once more the authority of the Government.
(Hear, hear) Those who called themselves the public
instructors of the country were endeavouring to in-
duce persons to believe that this was a passing calamity
to which very slight measures indeed would suffice to
put an end. (Hear.) It seemed to him (the noble earl)
that tnere were men amongst us like that sagacious ani-
mal which, when pressed by its pursuers, hid its head in
the sand and thought that it was unseen because it could
not see. (Hear.) But all Eerily) was regarding with
the deepest interest the conduct which her Majesty's
Government might pursue ; for upon that conduct would
depend not only our present character but our future
position in the civilised world. (Hear) He did not be-
lieve there existed in either house of Parliament any in-
dispoeitien to grant her Majesty's Government any
mean.' for which they might ask. Upon them, therefore,
rested the responsibility of the course they would pur
sue, and if they took a false step, the disgrace would be
with them, although the loss would undouhtedly be our.
It depended upon the noble viscount (Lerd Palmerston)
whether he would obtain for himself a reputation similar
to that which was obtained in difficult and dangerous
circumstances by Lord Chatham, or whether his Gevera-
' meat should be known to posterity as the most calami-
tous, the most disastroue, and the most disgraceful which
had existed in this country since the time of Lord North.
Since the Government had received the last telegraph,
their conduct had been right—they could not have ap-
p inted a betterofficer than Sir Colin Campbell. (Chews.)
He (the noble sari) bad at all times had a higher
opinion of that gallant officer—an opinion derived from
the late Sir Charles Napier, and confirmed by subse-
quent observation—than of any other in the Indian
army. (Hear, hear.) But to give full effect to the ap-
pointment of Sir Colin, two things were necessary. In
the first place, he must be relieved from the thraldom
to which it had teen too customary to subject the com-
mander in the field—the thraldom, namely, of the poli
tical agents. (Hear, hear.) The same powers should
be committed to him which were confided to Lord Har-
ris by Lord Wellesley ; and be need not remind their
lordships what successes rewarded that generous mea-
sure. (Hear, heir.) He perceived, too, with great
satisfaction, that the Indian Government bad appointed
Sir Patrick Grant. (Cheers.) He would not ask
whether that appointment was justifiable in a strictly
legal point of view; for he thought the Indian Govern-
ment e ere bound, in a season of public danger, to select
the best man ; and in so doing they had deserved well
of their country. (Cheer?.) But on the arrival of Sir
C. Campbell, the powers of Sir Patrick Grant would
cease ; but he (Lord Etenborough) considered that
it was of the utmost importance that the Governor
General should have Sir Patrick Grant for a mili-
tary adviser. That great object might be effected
by the Ceurt of Directors appointing Sir Patrick an
extraordinary member of Council. (Hear, hear.)
There was at present a very respectable officer in
the Council, and there was a very respectable military
secretary ; but there was nothing in their previous ser-
vices /chicle would enable them to give to the Governor-
General of India that authoritative advice upon which
he might rely. It was, therefore, most desirable that
the Council should he reinforead by Sir Patrick Grant.
Taera were persons in this cnuetry who were di,ap-
Pointed at not having received by theltst telegraph in-
formation of the capture of Delhi; but he (Lord Ellen-
borough) thought that that disappointment was un-
rea-ionable. (11...ar, hear.) He (the noble earl) had not
ecepected it ; nor did he think that they could in any
way justifiably impute blame to those in command, con-
sidering the hot season of the year and the want of means
of carriage', bscauee they had not made a march of 130
miles in the time in which it was calculated it couhl have
been performed. As far as he could understand the
telegraph, ;he troops had succeeded in defeating a force
which had been posted to interrupt thew march. Now
that circumstance brnuoht two things into his mind.
Fires, that the insurgents Inwt be very much stronger
than they hal been given to suppose, or they would
never have been induced to go beyond the walls of Dell i ;
and. sex, her joiced tn say it convinced him that they could
not have a man to command them who understood his
business. Hs (the noble earl) happened to kno a: theground
and he was, therefore, not in the smallest degree surprised
that they should have lost all their guns, because it was
a position in which, being pressed, it would have been
perfectly itnpooiibie for them to carry off their artillery
with them. (Hear, hear.) Nevertheless, this was a
most serious muter. They now heard that the di-affec-
tint. was becoming very general ; that it had extended
to 26,000 men, and that the Bengal army—and more
than .that, the troops in the Punjaub —had been dis-
banded. Amongst the regiments which were included
in these troops were two of which he had had reason to
know the history—the 16th ant the 26th. The 16th
. was one of the finest regiments in the Indian army. It
carrie 1 upon its colours almost as many records of ac-
tions fought aid victer:ee grilled as any regiment in her
Mejesty's service. Brigaded with her Majesty's 40th
2-;invent, it served dung{ the whole of Sir William
Nott's operations. It served at Maharajshpore by its
Fide, and it equelled it in courage arid devotion. The
*6th was with Sir George Pollack, at Pesbawnr. There
were there 4,000 men, cf whom 2,800 were in the
hospital, by far the larger number on account of their
anprehensione, rather than on account of sickness. In
that army the oily regiment on which Sir George could
depend was this 26tb, which had been disbanded. It
must have been a long-congnued course of mismanage-
ment—a c iur- eof misceriduct which he could not compre-
hend—to have so changed the nature of the soldiers who
o imposed these eegiments. There could harllybave been a
no: eoorninissioned native officer—there could not have
been a commissioned one, who had not given proofs of
his gallantry and fidelity under Sir W. Nott and Sir G.
Polloek, and it was most melancholy that such regiments
should be obliterated from the army in India, or that
circumstances should have occurred of any kind what-
ever to make it necessary to deprive them of arms which
they had so gallantly and so successfully borne. (Cheers.)
It was not for their lords to look at this mail or at
that mail, but it was for them to look forward and con-
sider from the facts which they ttari before them what
was likely to be our position in India on the let of
November, at the time when our troops would have ar-
rived, and when, the rains being over, it would be pos-
sible to undertake military operations. On this point
he had endeaveured to form an opinion. He assumed
that our troops would be able to take and to hold Delhi,
Meerut, and Allababad. He knew the locality of
Delhi ; and he knew that no European regiment had
ever yet been stationed there on account of the sickness
which prevailed ; for aftr r the rains, two-thirds of the
strength even of the native troops were in the hospital.
if therefore our troops should take Delhi and bold it, they
must not expect that they would be in a position after the
rains to do more. All that he could venture to assume
was that the three places he bad named would be
held, We should, in fact, be in the same position
in the Upper Provinces as that in which the
French were placed in Spain. We should hold that we
stood upon, but beyond that little or nothing else. It
would be impossible when the army which constituted
our strength was gone, when the soldiers had become
either rebels or robbers, and when we bad no reliable
police, it would be impossible to collect the revenue or
administer the government. Oar possessions would, in
fact, be confined to the 'three or four places which we
occupied. In the Punjanh things might be a little
better. Perhaps it might be possible for our troops to
maintain their own there, and to collect the revenue ;
but be apprehended we shoull not be able to do more—
we ehould not be able to move troops beyond the banks
of the Sutlej to render any assistance in other parts of
India. When this insurrection began, there were three
regiments in Bengal, two at Calcutta, and the other at
Dinaporee 376 miles distant. Between that place and
Agra and Lucknow, which were 200 or 300 miles off,
there was not another European soldier. Two regiments
were coming from Bombay, and one from Madras, which
he hoped bad already arrived. We should therefore have
six regiments in Bengal when those arrived. Now the
first thing to consider was the protection of the capital
of the empire. It was the seat of the Government : the
Treasury Wa, there, containing money to the amount of
several millions, and there was an enormous amount of
mercantile capital. It was the port at which alone the
salt revenue, the customs, and the opium revenue could
be collected. In apdition, therefore, to the three regi-
ments which it was proposed to station in Calcutta,
there ought to be at least six steamers in the river.
(Hear.) Then one regiment should be sent to Jellaba-
bad, another to Luck now, and a third to another sta-
tion. In this manner he calculated that eight regiments
would be required for the protection of Bengal ; but, in
addition to these, the three regiments brought up from
the other presidencies ought to be sent back at the ear-
best possible moment. What was actually being done
was to send out five regiments; but he held that five
