" I charge the Member for Nottingham with bribery. I
charge the M. mber for Harwich with bribery. I charge one
of the Members for Penryn and Falmouth with bribery. I
charge thy Members for Reading with bribery. I charge the
Member for Lewes with bribery."—Mr. Roebuck, Friday
Night's Debate, May 6.

Commons of England ! once within your Hall
Our iron Cromwell caused Corruption's fall—
Flung his stern words at those assembled there,
While each the other viewed with wildered stare :
Thou art a perjurer—thou a coward—thou
Thy country's traitor, false to thy true vow."
So scourged he all, then pack'd their crew to reign
Down in Perdition, with " Sir Harry Vane."
Like him, so acted that most potent man*—
" Emperor" call him, or plain " Corsican"—
Who, mid five hundred traitors calmly trod,
Frowned his dark frown—dissolved them with his nod;
The awe-struck herd evanished from the floor,
While he—a second Cromwell—locked the door.
Third let him rank—a lesser—yet not small—
Who now, like those, treads nobly England's Hall ;
Lifts his just voice, and bids corrupted right
Stand out from darkness, and confront the light ;
Ho! Chelsea tremble—Larpent blush and start—
E'en thou, staunch Plumridge, quail thou in thy heart;
Shrink Hobhouse—Elphinstone—and fifty more,f
Yet to be known when cut we to the core ,
While England sees, by Roebuck's courage bold,
Corruption crushed beneath her seats of gold.

* Napoleon, in the Council of Fire Hundred.
Wakley's expression—see Debate.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A solitary purchase in Consols, to the extent of 20,000/.,
for to-morrow has comprised the whole bu.siness of the day.
Buyers and sellers have alternately appeared at a shade above or
below the market price, but without concluding a bargain.
Consols are nominally the same as on Saturday, namely, 923
9 for Money, and 924 923 for the Account. Three per
Cents. Reduced, 91% 914 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.'New,
100%, 100 L ; Reduced 993 993 ; Bank Stock, 167 188; In-
dia Bonds, 20 21, and Exchequer Bills 36 39 prem.
Scarcely anything has been done in Foreign .1.. comities, and
these only in Dutch, the prices for which are 53 for the Two-
and-a-Half, and 1013 for the Five per Cents.
Railway Shares have been in better request, and the market
appears firm, although prices are not quite so good as on Sa-
turday. South Eastern, 304, the Scrip, 73 74 ; South Western,
634; Eastern Counties, 94 93, New, 51. 6s. Bd. ; Northern
and Eastern, 43; Bristol and Exeter, 434; Birmingham and
Gloucester, 53; Manchester and Birmingham, 28% • Manches-
ter and Leeds Quarter, 64; North Midland, 324; 'Edinburgh
and Glasgow, 541, ; and Brighton, 363.
In the bonds of the insolvent States, a single one found a
place on the official list of to-day; Peruvian, 193/4 ; not
another has a quotation.
Information of the arrival of the Clyde West India steamer
off Southampton last night, has been received this morning,
with the pleasing intelligence for merchants that the letters
will be delivered to-morrow. This vessel, owing to the bad
arrangements over the water, is rather more than a week over-
due, and it is, of course, impossible to conjecture what mails
she may have brought, but this is certain that a delay of 24
hours in the receipt of the letters must elapse, in consequence of
the bags having again been landed at Falmouth. Some statements
have appeared, vindicating the Post-office authorities there from
any participation in the delay which has hitherto always taken
placed, and setting forth the dispatch which had been used in
sorting and forwarding the correspondence to its destination; but
the point is the preferability of some other port, on account of its
greater proximity to the metropolis, and thence to the various
manufacturing towns. No single instance, on the arrival of
these vessels have occurred, but that the passengers have been
in London very many hours before the letters, and from the
long continuance of easterly winds, the early delivery of letters
is the more serious.
Papers to the Bth of January have arrived from Port Phillip,
which contain no particular news, although they give generally
a good account of the progress of the colony. It is stated that
the introduction of steam communication imparts a regularity
to the arrival and dispatch of intelligence, which in times of
greater commercial activity will exercise an extensively bene-
ficial effect upon colonial markets. Mails have been received
from the sister colony since its establishment with almost
weekly regularity. This is a strong contrast to the circum-
stances which have occasioned the above remarks, especially
when it is remembered how recently steam-vessels have been
introduced into Australia.
Accounts from Bahia to the 2d March have been received,
but which are wholly unimportant. Exchange on London, 29;
on Parts, 325 ; and on Hamburgh, 610.

; and South Eastern, New, 24.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MAY 7.—We have had
a dull market to-day, except in Manchester and Birmingham
Shares, which have been more in demand, and at improved
prices. Manchester and Birmingham, 294 to 294; District
Bank, 101. 9s. ; Union Plate Glass, 54.
