NEW WTRIT FOR BELFAST.,

Mr. B. HUGHES presented a petition from Berast,
impugning the veracity of Cropper, who, in a peti-
tion some time ago presented to.the House of Commons,
had reflected on the* character of Mr. Emerson Tennent.
Mr. SHAW then rose to move •the issue of a new
writ for the borough of Belfast. He did so with
reluctance, as he was aware that he was
interrupting important public business. He entirely
concurred with the opinion expressed by his Right Hon.
Friend, at the head of the Government, that in c\ses of
this kind the House ought to act judicially, and without
party feelings ; it was entirely in that spirit he brought
the present case under consideration. The facts of the
case were very short ; on Friday, the 3d of June, the
Election Committee reported • to the - House that
the sitting Members fur Belfast were not duly
elected, and that the last election for-that borough was a
void election. On that night the Right Hon: and
Learned Gentleman, the Member for the county of
Cork, gave notice that he would move for a Committee
of Inquiry into the subject, and Consequently there was
a suspension of the writ. But it was remarkable that,
in . the 'notice cf the Right Hon. Member, no men-
tion whatever was, . made of bribery. He founded
his motion entirely on personation and • - perjury.,
He would not refer to the petition that had, been pre-
sented to the House ;. it appeared that the only feet Mr.
Cropper was in a condition to prove was, that after leav-
ing Canaroon, he set up a public-house in Belfast, and
that there he had received a bribe of SCL : The Henonr-
able and Learned Member might prove the perjury and
personation--twogreat crimes—but it -would ap-
pear • that the -.beau- -fide constituency were the in-
jured, and not the offending party,—(Hear, hear.)
If such a course were pursued it would be utterly de-
structive of the character of that House. He did not
otject to the most searching investigation into all eases
of bribery, and into the most exemplary -punish-
ment being inflicted on all those found guilty. Pre-
vious to the present Session it had been the established
rule of the House, not to suspend the issue of any writ
unless general bribery had been reported to the Reuse,
and the House proposed to legislate upon the subject—
or unless alarming riots • existed in the borough at the
time.. The present case certainly was not in the latter
category. During the present Session, however, the
Hon. and Learned Member for Bath had introduced a
new kind of law on the subject, which he (Mr. Shaw)
might perhaps be permitted to call the law of compromise.
He thought that the House had gone rather too far in
suspending writs upon the unsupported allegation of the
lion. and Learned Member. Ile was not aware that the
Hon. and Learned Member had even averred his own.
knowledge of the existence of the facts. He was,' how-
ever, free to confess that the notoriety of the cases to
which the lion. and Learned Member had directed the
attention of the House certainly seemed to .-jus-
tify the interference of the House. But his argument
was, that even admitting the law of compromise, as
laid dOwn by the Right Hoe. and Learned Member for
Bath, there was nothing in common between the cases
of Belfast and Nottingham. In the 'ease of Not-
tingham, the Election Committee had decided
contrary to the prayer of the petition, that the
Sit:ing Members had been duly elected. In the
present case, in pursuance of the prayer of the
election- petition, the Committee had declared the late •
election void. They had now the same parties in the
field as candidates at the ensuing election. Supposing
the writ to issue, he apprehended that no person of Par-
liamentary experience would deny that, supposing the
same parties to be returned, or to become petitioners in
the case, all the matters that had occurred at the last
election would be brought under the consideration of the
Committee.
.He had now stated all the facts of this case,
and he would leave it in the hands of the House. H.

begged only to submit to the good sense of Honour-
able Members, whether they should n'ot consider
they bad already become sufficiently entangled in
the suspension of writs, and the difficulties of

appointing tribunals for inquiries of this nature.
He was extremely anxious that the House should deal
with the CUSP judicially, and without any party bias, nut
condemning parties unheard, nor punishing the inno-
cent for the guilty. He desired to be guided by the
general sense cf jhc House as to the propriety or ire-
propriety of granting the writ in this case.
Lord SA.NDON said he should not rise for the pur-
pose of entering into the discussion, but simply for the
purpose of reading a letter which (as we understood
the Noble Lord) he had receilcd from the agents of the
late Members for Belfast. It was to this effect :—" I
am requested to stew, on behalf of Mr. Emerson
Tennant and Mr. Johnstone, in reference to the
late compromise of the Befast petition, that if
any such arrangement was ever moue it was utterly
without their concurrence, and without any con-
cert or understanding on the part. of either of them."
Mr. O'CONNELLroee to move as an amendment,
the appointment of a Select Committee to enquire
whether a corrupt compromise had been entered into, for
the purpose of avoiding investigation into gross and ex-
tensive bribery, and gross and corrupt personation of
voters, and consequent perjury alleged to have been
practised at the late election for Belfast. The
House would perceive that there was not the least • at-
tempt to deny that a compromise had taken place. All
that the letter contained was a denial that the parties to
whom it referred were concerned in it. It had already
been decided that a corrupt compromise was* breach of
the privileges of that House, and the House must,
therefore, either grant his motion, or declare that their
former decision was wrong. The Hon. Member said all
the questions in this case might be raised before the Select
Committee. It was plain that they could not. They
might go into the circumstances which would render that
compromise advisable, but they cou!cl not by possibility
inquire into the compromise itself. The bribery which
had taken place was not confined to either party,
but bribery had been committed by both parties.
His statement was this—that he was informed by so
Much of authority that it was impossible for him not to
believe it, that it could be proved io the House that ex-
ceeding geese and extensive bribery took place at the last
-election for Belfast—that there it had been au organised
and systeMatie bribery, emanating from the Committee,
room of the Conservative candidates, that one person ac-
tually got 401., another -5C1., and others different sums
varyingfrom Lau pwards. He was also informed, and could
prove, that personation of a most corrupt nature took
place at the last election, that a list of those who at
farmer elections voted for the Conservative candidates,
.was actually stereotyped by an elector, and that although
many of .thepasons on the list were dead, or were nut
entitled to vote, persons were brought forward to per-
sonate them. He understood that those parties had
been brought from Monaghan, that suits of clothes
had been. purchased fie. them, that _disguises_ of every
description had- been resorted to, and that a great deal
of Quaker's apparel had been used for that purpose;
that although presenting themselves, having no right to
vote, they actually took the bribery and other oaths
administered to electors ; that one person voted three
times. He • (Mr. O'Connell) had • been furnished with
the names of thirteen persons who had personated
others. Witnesses had been brought to London
to prove the facts he .had stated. The.case, therefore,
stood for trial. Attempts, however, were made at Bel-
fast, unsuccessfully, to compromise the mutter.
A case of compassion was attempted to be raised
towards one of the sitting Members at Belfast. It
was refused, and now he was in a condition to
prove that a compromise had been entered into.
The arrangements were this—first, that the sitting
Members should be unseated, with -the co-operation of
counsel upon both sides, upon mere matters of form ;
and next, that the entire expenses on the part of the
petitioners of appearing before the Committe e should be
forthwith paid. He was ready to -prove that they had
been either actually paid or. that they had been per-
fectly secured. - NoW let them loOk to the :Report
of the Committee. They had not reported that the
petition. on • the defence. of the return was frivolous or
vexatious ; and of Coursee• • therefore, the costs
could, not be - either 'party. But by
the corrupt consprondee _which had been entered
into, the costs of the petitioners were secured.. He.
was able :to e prom these :fact& ; .and he had
before him the petition of one of the person.; bribed. It,
was said, however, that the partY owed money at.Car-
narvon, an&it seemed to be supposed: that whoever owed
money at
,Carnerion.-- must be: a bad character. Dint

'But, at all events, that wels;a matter foie the :Committee

They had all. that they desire in the rase.
In the instance brought rorward- by Ills Hen:.and Learned.

But they hedeMore in the present
O'Connell) had it het of witnesses
would prove the facts. He hadAlietinct allegations'
of a man of the name of. Cropper_ of the: existence of ..a
compromise.- eHe 'stated. that. the sitting Members had
agreed to pay -all the expenses of. that petition,-- and that.
the inquiry into personation mid. bribery Was conse-
quently abandoned ; the underSteitiding ' between -the.
parties being, that the return 'should. be -Worded
on the sole ground of, illegal conductjtt the. poll.
that one Member should be returned 'on each side, and
that the new Tory -amber should be Mr. E. Tennant.
Now, Mr. Tennant Ead comeforward. with a declaration
setting himself free from the compromise ; -but did. he
tell the House that his petition was not, insured - ?
Did he tell tem that it had not been. agreed
on-that one Member • not coinciding with . him-
self in opinion should be also returned.? Did
he . venture to deny that the arrangement in ques-
tion had not been made ? It was stated, no doubt, that
there were several candidates in the field, but Mr. Ten-
nant did not say that he was not bound in honour to re-
frain from opposing the return of _one Liberal Member.
Against the party who had made these allegations there
was no charge by.whieh he •could he disparaged, unless
it was a disparagement that he: had once been. in debt.
He heard statements that enormous bribery had been
committed at Belfast-e-that a compromise had been
entered into, and that the electors were indignant
that this compromise should have- taken plane.
He heard it stated that the general feeling
in Belfast was that the crime should_ he hunted out,
and that the guilty party should. be punished, and
that the fleets of hideous personation and multi-
tudinous • perjury • should be fully investigated.
All he wanted was the Committee, .and he would
leave in the hands of the House- what the composition of.
the Committee should be whether it should be
referred to the! Committee to which the other cases
were referred, or whether separate one should be
appointed. All he desired was, that what was
done with regard to the Engl:sh cases, might be
done with respect to the Irish one. What would be seid
if this enquiry was refused ? He heard it said the
writs were issued alternately—now blacks---now
(Laughter.) Bi.t something wore would be said if the writ
was issued in the present case. The writ aas not issued
in the case of Nottingham, in which a Member of the
late 'Administration was concerned, and .would coil-
trary course be pursued with respect to a Member of
the present Government ?—(Cheers and laughter.)
Both individuals were also in the same of-
fice—the Board of Control.—(" Hear, hear," and
laughter.) And how could they allow a-- Committee to
inquire in the one case, and refuse it in the other.
That Gentleman, (Mr. L. Tennant) to be sure has pa-
tronized the Government—(Laughter)—for he says in
his address to the electors of Belfast, " the best proof of
my confidence in the present Government may be guessed
from the fact that I have accepted office under them."—
(Much laughter and cheering.)
Mr. SHAW, who held what we believe was a copy of
the address in his hands, said that was not contained in
the address.
_

Mr. O'CONNELL—Oh ! you have been sent a copy
ei it.—k Laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman
was here handed a copy of the Address by Mr. M. J.
O'Connell from which he read the extract as
before,
.amidst continued laughter and cheering.
It seemed then that he (Mr. O'Connell) was lierfectly
right.--7-(Loud . laughter.) It appeared then that- he
patronised the 111mistry. Would the Ministry in
return patronise him.—(Continued laughter.) He (Mr.
O'Connell) had produced infinitely stronger documentary
evidence than had been produced in the Notting-
ham case. The notoriety was as great as it
had been in the Nottingham case. He had
proved that by the newpapers. he had the information of
• a greater.- ninnbcr of • witnesses to appeal to, he
had the distinct assertion of the petitioner, and there-
fore he thought he Was perfectly justified as to the same
stating that there was the strongest reason for believing
that a corrupt compromise had taken place. - Then there
was, in addition to all that, the evidence ofpecuniary cor-
ruption by the payment of all expenses, or what amounted
by giving security that such payment should
take place. Be felt convinced that he shonld be able
to prove the existence of bribery and corruption.
He submitted that he had made out a case stronger
than any of the English cases. If he had said any
thing implying an idea that this case would be more
leniently dealt with, because the party implicated be-
longed to the Administration. That was a conviction
that he would altogether postpone for the present.—
(Cheers and laughter.) He would therefore move, as an
amendment, `.` For a Select Committee, to inquire whe-
ther a Corrupt compromise has been entered into, for the
purpose of avoiding investigation into gross and exten-
sive bribery, and gross and corrupt personation of voters,
and consequent pirjury, alleged to have been practised
at the late election for Belfast."
Sir 11. W. BARRON seconded the amendment.
MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

Messengers from the Lords brought down (livers Bills.

BELFAST ELECTION RESUMED.

The SPEAKER having put the question,
Captain POLHILL said that having been a Member cf
the Belfast Election Committee, he hoped the Houee
would hear with a few observations from him on the
matter. He most readily and cordially supported the
motion of his Honourable and Learned Friend (Mr.
Shaw). He would state very. shortly the reasons why
Tile evidence that came before them on that occasion
was in his opinion clear, lucid, and free frcm anything.
like proving bribery.—(lronical cheers from the Op-
position benches.) The grounds put forward
by the Learned Counsel, and on which the Committee
decided, were, first, the minority of certain of the
deputy relieving officers, that they . had adminis-
tered the bribery oath, they being under age. That
- circumstance a as of itself, both in his opinion
and that of the Committee, fatal to the claim of the
sitting Members. The second ground counted upon by
the Learned Counsel was, that in a certain booth marked
letter M, great delays were occasioned in bringing the tal-
lies up; the bribery oath was administered to almost every

I. person that presented himself to vote, .except to
a few respectable persons ; .and in this latter
case, where the oath was not administered, A
certain compromise was entered into, of grant"
inm a delay of three minutes, so as to equalise
the position of the contending parties. Upon tbo
counts his mind had been made up, and they formed the.
grounds fi,r the dtciAon come to by the Committee. Be
hoped, then, that the Right •Hon. Baronet at the hec,d of
her Majesty's Government would support the mot:on of
his Right Hon. Friend. •
Sir H. W. BARRON said he was empowered ta'
state to the House the names of the two parties.
who had made the compromise, and the amount
of money they were to have been paid. Tho
peisori'who acted on behalf of 'the Tory Members was
Mr. J. M`Neile, and the manger on the part of the peti'
tiont.rs was Wm. Cander ; the money that was to WO
been paid for preventing the case from going before the
Committee, and keeping back the evidence was 600/.

DEATH OF OW:ARNOLD, OF

We announce, with sincere regret, the death of the . vt,t;

Thomas. Arnold, D.D.ellead Master of Rugby School, ton ,
took place at Rugby, on Sunday morning ;ast, after a few hnd"
illness, of a disease of tie heart. Dr. Arnold, was well 00.'7
as one of the most distinguiehed writers and profound clarifi.
scholars of the day. His edition of " Thucydides," 501
we fear, unfinished " History of Rome," are works which
always hold a high place in our literature. Besides these
have hie Sermonsand Miscellaneous Works, and his recent $
lication of the lectures delivered by him at Oxford in bida -:
city of Professor of Modern History in that University. •ei:
it would be great injustice to Dr. Arnold's memory to aPrtle,.
him merely as a scholar and a historian. During therfiSie
years he has been Master of Rugby School, he has ziot""—
governed that institution with admirable a'iility and 04e.4
cess, but few men have done so much. towards raieitio
the standard and the character of education itself in tof
country. No man was ever more beloved by his pupils'ol
by his numerous acquaintances ; nor has the death of ,jr,
given a more severe shock to his family and friends.. 're
Arnold was remarkable for the uniform sweetness, the PatieD, et
Val forbearing me. kness, of hie disposition. He was an In,',",sert
; Christian the bad passions might almost be said to have '`iel
omitted by nature in his constitution. But his :truth sof
hoeesty were unflinchingly regardless of his owninterest c,
temporary consequences : he followed truth with a rate t..
ness of purpo-e and simplicity of heart. Dr. Arnold-+'ftee
' tached from principle to the Whig party, and has been ° bil6,
'considered as very near promotion to the episcopal bench;. of
that such was not his own wish we have the best mealeis
knowing. The learned Docter bad latterly de votedthe whole:ye
time unoccupied by scholastic duties to his Lectures on 1‘1„•s
