THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
At the close of the business yesterday Consols were
821 + both for to-day and May Account ; they opened this
morning at 82+8, and have since been 828 3 for money,
and 83 for the next time. The transactions hitherto ef-
fected are few, and of no importance ; the chief business
seems to be the progressive settlement of the account,
which has hitherto gone off well, with one exception, but
as the parties exhibit a good dividend to their creditors, it
is expected they will be enabled to get an easy settlement.
India Bonds have reached 69 premium. Exchequer Bills
remain at 46 7 premium. The Foreign Funds have been
unattended with any interesting feature ; Mexican Bonds
70+ +, Colombian 404 a. Brazilian and Buenos Ayrean
Bonds have no alteration; it does not appear that there
was the slightest approach to any peaceable views by either
party; the next packet may, however, be expected to
bring important advices, as the contending armies of each
of these powers were approaching so near, that it was
deemed, by the most recent accounts, impossible but they
must come in contact; the general opinion certainly is,
that it will not terminate in Don Pedro's success, as his
army on the Rio Grand frontier is by no means in an
equal state of discipline with its opponents. Shares con-
tinue to receive little attention, they being chiefly in the
hands of opulent holders few appear in the market ;
wel.e this not the case, they could not even support their
present quotations, notwithstanding the flattering accounts
which are continually received of their progress.

ELECTION COMMITTEES-(THI

DAY.)

GALWAY.

Dr. ADAMS, on the part of Mr. Martin, addressed the
Committee at considerable length. He would bring for-
ward evidence to prove that a system of rioting and outrage
had been practised by the partisans of Mr. Lambert,
against those of Mr. Martin, and that a party of
the latter, when on their way to the election, were
actually prevented from coming forward by the for-
mer. The Learned Couns,:l maintained that when the
electors were prevented by violence or otherwise, from
exercising their elective franchise, it was of no consequence
whether the interruption was authorized by Mr. Lambert
or not. In support of his argument, he referred to the
proceedings of the House of Commons in 1722, regarding
an election at Coventry, which, in consequence of tumult
and riots that were excited by the agents of one
of the Cv, .idates, though without his knowledge,
in order to influence tl:o electors, was set aside
by the House. The same principle was held in another
election at Nottingham, in 1802, where the partisans of
Mr. Birch, by their tumultuous violence, rendered it dan-
gerous for the freeholders to exercise their franchise ; but
though these riots were created without Mr. Birch's know-
ledge, or consent, he being at the time at Liverpool, for
which place he stood candidate, yet the House of Commons
deprived him of his seat. The Learned Counsel then ani-
madverted in strong terms on the interference of the
Marquis of Clanricarde at the present election. He im-
peached his Lordship's conduct not only as a Peer of Par-
liament, but as a Member of his Majesty's Govern-
ment. He should prove that the Noble Marquis had
not only paid the expences of Mr. Lambert's par-
tisans, but that he promised one of them to get
one son promoted us the church, to get a post under Go-
vernment for another, and actually tendered a situation in
the lonian Islands to a third son. But this was not all ;
his Lordship procured Lord Sligo to use his influence with
some of the electors in behalf of Mr. Lambert ; and one
instance of Lord Sligo's interference was his sending a boat
for a party of the electors. It was the Martinis Clanricarde
also who appointed the solicitor who conducted the business
for Mr. Lambert. The Learned Counsel then referred to
the resolutions passed by the House of Commons, in 1699,
in consequence of the interference of the Earl of Manches-
ter at an election, when the House reprobated the inter-
ference of Peers at elections, and voted it highly criminal
and subversive of the Constitution. He then alluded to
similar cases subsequently, when the same principle was
held. He should also prove that a system of treating and
feasting seas carried on by Mr. Lambert, in direct viola-
tion of the Act of Parliament.

The following witnesses were then examined :
Walter Alous was present at the election to his cost, for
he got his head broken there ; saw Mr. Lambert give some
silver to a. man, and tell him to join his mob and to ill-
treat every one of Mr. Martin's voters that he could ; wit-
ness then ran off least the hireling should begin with him-
self, for he was on Mr. Martin's side. On the third dar
of the election lie saw Mr. Lambert's mob eau"(
Mr. Martin's Committee-room and break in the win-
dows ; about two hours after witness and Mr. Mar-
tin'suntilhead;thewaselection on met Mr. Lambert's mob, who attacked
e
them, and beat young Mr. Martin shamefully, and
eon fi nweads to

from voting for Mr. Martin ; several freeholders told him
that they were in dread of going in to vote for Mr. Martin,
because of Mr. Lambert's mob.
Dennis O'Sullivan was present at the election, one of
Mr.
anthert's agents gave him is. tid. to join their mob,
but he did not • his brother was shot in the riot by Mr.
Lambert'. brother.:
Question Don't you know, Sir, that Mr. Lambert was
tried for the offence, and honourably acquitted ?
Answer. of course he was acquitted, when he had all
his own friends on the Jury, and when he bribed our prin-
cipal witnesses not to give evidence against him.
Question. Were you accused of setting a house on fire?
AnTiwer. Yes, but I was honourably acquitted like Mr.
Lambert, for the Grand Jury threw out the bill.—(Much
laughter.)
Witness deposed that Arr. Lambert's Was more pow-
erful than Mr. Martin's, until after his brother was shot,
and that turned the tide against Mr. Lambert.
