SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The majority of our readers will,
doubtless, recollect that a case that came on last 3,ear
in the Arches' Court of Canterbury, when the Vicar
of Gedney was proceeded against for refusing to
bury an infant baptised by a Wesleyan minister.
The facts alleged were fully proved, and the canon
law having imperatively fixed the punishment of
suspension for three months as the sentence to
be passed on the offence alluded to, the Vicar
of Gedney was condemned to undergo the penalty.
The promoters of the suit, who were actuated
by no vindictive feeling., urged upon the Court,
through their advocate, their desire that the sentence
should, if possible, be mitigated; but an intimation
having been given by the advocate of the Vicar that
the Reverend Gentleman intended appealing to a higher
tribunal, Sir Herbert Jenner, who presided, felt the
necessity of complying strictly with the law, and gave
his decision accordingly. The matter was subse-
quently carried before the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council, in conformity with the in-
timation given by the Vicar while proceedings were
pending in a lower Court. The result has been, that
the Council confirmed the sentence passed by the
Court of Arches, and condemned the appellant in
the entire costs of the litigation. One would have
imagined that the Vicar of Gedney, having got
what he wanted—the opinion of the Privy Coun-
cil upon his case—would have submitted himself,
as became a Christian minister and a good subject,
to the authority of the law, particularly when laid
down by the highest Court of Judicature; but the
Vicar prefers impugning the decision of the Privy
Council, and taunting its Members with the sort of
regard they pay to the oaths they have taken. Not
content with his own feelings of irritation on the
subject, the Vicar endeavours to rouse the whole
ef the clergy. The Reverend Gentleman, in a
letter which appears as an advertisement in this
day's Times, asks his brethren if they will
" sit down quietly under such mockery," as
the deliberate exercise by the Privy Council
of the judicial functions assigned to it. The
judgment is stigmatised as " a wicked insult to the
word of God and his Church," and the clergy are
urged to call on their respective diocesans to oppose it
in their proper places. We feel that it would be
superfluous to offer any comment on the very remark-
able language of the Vicar.of Gedney. The inter-
ference of his diocesan may be requisite ; but not
exactly in the way that the Reverend Gentleman ap-
pears to desire. As the Vicar's violation of the law
has resulted in his suspension for three months, and a
liability to costs amounting to upwards of one thou-
sand pounds, it is not likely that many of his
" reverend brethren," to whom he appeals for sym-
pathy, will be actuated by any strong desire to follow
his example.
STANDARD.—Notwithstanding the dictum of
that very competent authority, Mr. Milner Gibson,
that the Corn-law question and the distress have not
been half discussed—a dictum a little at variance
with the fact that during nine hours' debate the
Opposition could not produce one new proof, or
the shadow of a new argument—notwithstanding
Mr. Gibson's bold assertion, we fancy that we
shall best consult the taste of our readers by
passing over the fifty times rehearsed discus-
sion sicco pede. Have not all the speeches been
heard from Corn-law lecturers, or read in the Morn-
ing Chronicle's reports of the proceedings of the
Leaguers' Parliament in Palace-yard, or got by
heart by the unhappy reporters in the House of
Commons' gallery ? Who has any " particular
desire" for another appearance of Mr. Ward, Mr.
Hawes, Mr. Brotherton, or any of the rest 9f
the performers ? Lord Palmerston may, however,
claim a remark as a late Cabinet Minister in the
highest station, and his Lordship has added to this
claim by the pre-eminence of his mischievous folly.
There are at present about one million two hundred
thousand quarters of corn in bond ; this corn may
be to-day released at a. duty of Bs.—the fixed duty
determined upon in Lord Palmerston's own budget
—and released it would be at that duty by prudent
men with such a prospect of a harvest as we have
before us. Lord Palmerston sees this, and fears
this, and what course does he take ? Without
a pretence of authority, in any thing that has
fallen from the Government, he starts up and
assures the holders of bonded corn that they must
not sell. " Gentlemen," he !says, "hold fast ;do
not release a part even, at the rate of duty
which the late Government thought fair; wait
but a few weeks, and Sir Robert Peel will let out
all your corn dut;free." Can anything be imagined
better calculated to keep up prices, and if high prices
are the sole cause of the distress, as Lord Palmerston
and his faction pretend, to aggravate that distress ?
The mischievous effect will not be produced, because
nobody will believe Lord Palmerston ; but it is a
poor defence of a man to say, that his ill designs
are frustrated only by his ill character. We are, it
appears, to have the debate again hashed-up to-night.
Is there no remedy for this insupportable nuisance ?
While any doubt of the 'hypocrisy of the Opposition
remained the thing might be borne with as affording
occasion for the exposure ef that hypocrisy ; but, after
Lord Palmerston's ingenious device of last night to
aggravate and continue the distress of the poor, even
this one utility has ceased.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
IPSWICH.

The Committee resumed this morning at eleven o'clock.
Mr. Pack was called.—l was canvassed at the election
by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. A. B. Cooke. It was on the
Monday before the election. I was at the Bull's
Head with my brother. Mr. Gladstone and Mr.
Cooke came in to canvass the landlord, and
I teas asked if I would vote for Lord Desart and
Mr. Gladstone. I said, " I dare say I shall
vote for them." On the evening of the nomination day
I went to the King's Arms with my wife. There were
thirty or forty people there. Some beer was
brought to me by a waiter. I was drinking
in the house till twelve o'clock. I have not
paid for the beer. When I was going away, the
landlord asked me to come to breakfast in the morning.
I did not go. I went at ten o'clock in the morning to the
Salutation with my wife. I had some beer and something
to eat. It was brought to me by people in the house.
While I was there a carriage drove up, and Mr. Cooke
got out, and asked me to go up to the polling-place.
I said I would not ride, as I was able to walk. I
went to the poll in about half an hour. Mr.
Cooke came to the public-house again, and went out
with my wife, and when he came in again I went up and
voted for Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone. After that,
I went to the King's Arms, and received a ticket for two
pots of beer. I saw others with' tickets.

Cross• examined by Mr. AUSTIN—I made sip my mind
to vote for the Blue party the first time I saw Mr.
Gladstone. I did not promise, but I said I had no
objection. I was canvassed by the other party. I did not
promise them my vote. That was after I had seen Mr.
Gladstone at the Bull's Head. I had some beer at the
tap three weeks ago. A man named Frost called twice
at my house and asked me to go. I saw Mr. Fuson and
Mr. Charles Cooper Mulley in a room up stairs. When
I came down I had some beer with Frost and Cooke.
We were drinking beer from half-past eight to half-past
ten. I have not paid for any of it. I went a second
and a third time to the Fox, and had some beer. Was
examined at the Fox by Mr. Euson and Mr. Mulley, but
I did not sign any paper.
Examined by Mr. KINGSLAKE—I went to the Fox
about my evidence. Mr. Birst offered me some beer yes-
terday at Fendall's Hotel. I had some beer with James
Adams at the New Inn yesterday. When the yellow
party canvassed me I said I should consider of it.

.Margaret Pack, examined by Mr. PIERCE—I am the
wife of the last witness. On the nomination-day I went
with my husband to the Salutation. We had smile beer
while we were there. Mr. Arthur B. Cooke came in and
said, " Well, Master Pack, when are you going to vote ?"
Mr. Cooke spoke to me apart from my husband. I asked
him a favour. We were much distressed, and I asked
for 10s. He said he would give it me another day, but
not on the occasion of my husband's voting. The day
after I went into the shop, and he said " the trifle that I
promised you is ready." He pointed to it lying on the
the counter. I know
.the King's Arms public-house.
I was then with my husband on that day. There were
some tickets given ; I had one. I told my husband to
vote for Lord Desart and Mr. Gladstone, and he did so.

Cross-examined by Mr. Austin—Mr. Cooke has been
in the habit of relieving our difficulties for years past.
When I asked Mr. Cooke for the 10s., I said I was much
distressed, and I should be much obliged if he would
assist us, and he said he wou:d see about it. That appli-
cation was not on the occasion of my husband's vote.
John Downing examined by Mr. kingslake—l know a
person named Bunting, a sack manufacturer, of Ipswich. I
became a surety for him for a debt to the money club.
I called on Mr. Bristoe and said I was alarmed about the
paper I had signed for Bunting. Bristoe told me that
1 was liable. This was in September last at a municipal
election. Mr. Bristoe told me this year not to
disturb my mind about the security. On the nomi-
nation day I saw Mr. Bristoe the Tuesday before the
election, and 1 asked him about the money. I told him
I had heard that I was liable, and he told me that if I
got, a fresh security from Bunting, I might have the
hills and burn them if I liked, and take no more
notice of it. On the nomination day I saw Lord Desart
and Mr. Gladstone ; Mr. Bristoe introduced me to
them, and I shook hands with them. I then
spoke to Mr. Bristoe about the bills, and he said
it should be all right if I would call upon him next week.
I told him if I voted for Blue it would be to clear me of
the security, to release me from the trouble, and he said,
that shall be all right." The Blue candidates did
not ask me to vote. I voted for Blue. On the day of
voting I breakfasted at the King's Arms. I did not
pay for it. I had an order to go. On the Wednesday
after the election I saw Mr. Bristoe. He said Mr. Bunt-
ing had not called upon him. He asked me to go
and tell him to come down on the next morning. I
went again on the Saturday. Bunting was there, and he
offered to release me of my liability. On the Wednesday
following it was settled. Bunting was to pay 251. in five
years, clearing me from responsibility. A memorandum
‘N. as made, and my name was struck from the old paper.
If it had not been for th© release I should not have voted-
for Blue ; I always have voted for yellow.
Cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN—I should consider

that Mr. Bunting would be better able to pay 251. than
rnyself--he would be a better security.
Sarah Ann Downing examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS.—
On the day of election a gentleman came up to me and
asked me which way my hustand was going to vote. Mr.
Bristoe came up, and he said he had got the bills, and he
wished to have them settled. I said when do you wish
my husband to call, and he said next week.
Mr. Clarke—l was a secretary to the money society.
Was called to prove that the society had been extinct
some months before the election, and that no advance had
been made to Bunting of the sum of 251. There had
been advances made to Bunting to the amount of 150 L,
and Davies was one of the securities ; but the whole
amount was discharged before the winding up of the
society.
Edwin Franks examiued—Voted for the two Blue
Members for Ipswich. Was at the King's Arms on the
day of election. Saw Frost there. Had some refresh-
ment there. He had a 3s. ticket. Has a son who is a
voter ; he also bad a 3s. ticket ; that was after witness
had voted. Witness got 10s. to carry him home, as he
lived Bbout 61 miles from Ipswich—at Levington ;bs
son had the same. Mr. Stewart gave witness the 10s.
It was in a room where there was a table covered with
papers, with several gentlemen sitting round the table.
• William Franks, son of the last witness, gave similar•
testimony.

Robert Page deposed that he had a vessel, named the
Success, in Ipswich at the time of the election. The
Captain's name was Bishop. On the day of the election
Mr. Cooke came to witness, and he asked if Bishop was
going to vote, and witness replied he did not know Mr.
Cooke said " What are Bishop's principles ?" Witness
replied '" I don't know as he's got any."—(Laughter.)
Mr. Cooke said, " Will Bishop stay to vote ?" and wit-
ness replied, no, he would not, as he would lose his
voyage. Mr. Cooke said, " What will his voyage be ?"
and witness answered about 71. or 8( Mr. Cooke agreed
to give him the amount of the voyage if he would
stop to vote. Bishop stopped and voted, and in about
three weeks after witness went to Mr. Cooke's house and
received " the blunt."—(Laughter.) Mr. Cooke paid
him 81., a five-pound note and three " wery light sove-
reigns."—(Loud laughter.) Witness gave Bishop's wife
61., and kept 2L for himself to pay the expenses of the
delay of the vessel.
Sarah Bishop corroborated this evidence.
'fHomAs BOWMAN, a shoemaker, deposed that he
called upon Mr. Bristoe, to have his name put upon the
band, as he was a musician. He (Mr. BristGe) said that
the name of witness could not be put on the list, but
another name must be inserted ; and the witness was
paid thirty shillings as a musician. Witness played in
the band about half an hour. Witness was not bound
to play—it was a voluntary act. Witness went to the
King's Arms and had something to drink. Witness had
as much as he could drink, but paid nothing.
It was hear announced that the Speaker was at prayers,
and the Committee adjourned till 11 o'clock, to-morrow.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME.
TERMINATION OF THE INQUIRY.
Mr. Sergeant Wrangham having replied to Mr. Cole,
the room was cleared. After a short time the parties
were called in,- and the CHAIRMAN announced the fol-
lowing resolution :—" That John Q. Harris, Esq.,
having been declared by a Committee of the House
of Commons to have been guilty of bribery
by his agents at the previous election for Newcastle-
under-Lyme, and that election having been avoided, was
incapable of being elected at the election which took
place in consequence of such avoidance."
Counsel for the sitting Member having agreed that a
sufficient number of votes should be struck off
to place Mr. Colquhoun in a majority, the Committee
came to the usual decision, "That J. Q. Harris, Esq., was
not duly elected at the last election for the borough of
Newcastle-under-Lyme, and ought not to have been re-
turned ; and that John Campbell Colquhoun, Esq., was
duly elected, and ought to have been returned, but that
the defence of the seat was not frivolous or vexatious."

IMPERIAL PA tiLIAM ENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at Five o'Cclock, the Earl of
Shaftesbury sitting on the Woolsack, in the place of the
Lord Chancellor, who was prevented from attending by
illness.

A Messenger from the Commons brought up the South
Australia Bill, and other Bills, which were severally
read a first time.

SUDBURY DISFRANCHISEMENT.

Lord CAMPBELL gave notice, that on Monday he
would move that it be a standing order of this House,
that no Counsel be heard -for or against any Bill pending
in this House, who is a Member of the other House of
Parliament.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE postponed to Mon-
day the second reading of the Sudbury _Disfranchise-
ment Bill.

MINES AND COLLIERIES BILL.

Lord SKELMERSDALE gave notice that on the
next stage of the Mines and Collieries Bill, he should
move that women of mature age who had been accus-
tomed to work in mines and collieries should be allowed
to continue in that employment if they chose.
DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY.

The Earl of RADNOR said that as the distress
of the country was going on at an alarming
rate of increase, and threatened to lead to very frightful
results. He wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Pre-
sident of the Council, what grounds he had for saying
that there was reason to hope that the country would
soon right itself, and that the distress would be abated ?
The Noble Earl concluded by moving for several re-
turns relating to the importation of corn and provisions
under the new tariff.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that he could perceive
symptoms of improvement going on in the present state
of things, and he believed that if it had not been for the
agitation which was still kept up, the law would have
operated to the advantage of the country. Unless
it was seen that the Government had the firm-
ness and the power to resist the demand made
on them for a further alteration of the law,
the change which they had already made
would not have fair play. The agitation prevented its
coming fairly into operation, and but for that it would
have by this time done great good, and he was con-
vinced that it would do great good.
The Marquis of ULANRICARDE was very glad to
know what the Noble Baron (the President of the
Council) meant by saying that the Bill would do
great good. Some people thought that a Bill would do
good which kept up prices, and others which would keep
them down. He wished to know in which sense the
Noble Baron promised the country that his Bill would
do good?—(Hear, hear, and laughter.)
Lord WHARNCLIFFE—What I said was, that I
thought the Bill would do good, by keeping prices
steady.—(Cheers, and counter cheering.)
The Earl of RADNOR said he could not understand
on what grounds it was pretended that the agitation
of the Corn-law question prevented the Govern-
ment measure from coming into operation.—(Hear.)
If the law would allow corn to come in
it would have come in, for there could be no doubt that
the people wanted it.—(Hear.)
