ELECTION COMMITTEE.
IPSWICH.
The Committee re-assembled yesterday morning at
eleven o'clock, Stewart,'Esq , in the Chair.
Mr. Charles Steward was called, and examined by Mr.
AUSTIN-1 am an attorney
at Ipswich. I am one of the.
Blue party. Mr. Hunt was the agent to Lord Desart and
Mr. Gladstone at. the last election. No other person acted
.
:n that capacity. I heard Mr. Hunt say that it was the de-
termination of the candidates that no money whatever was
to be spent illsgally. On one occasion I saw Mr. Hunt
at Deck's Boons, but the rooms were not used for the
purpose of the canvass, they were merely used for caitinfa
up the poll on the day of election. I understood that Lord
I)esart and Mr. Gladstone were concerned in the ar-
rangements of Mr. Hunt. I did not -canvass with
either of the candidates. The principal parties at-
tached to the Mites canvassed the town. The op-
posite party were attended in the same way. I was
a great deal at the rooms called the " Little Carl-
ton." There was no one there with any authority with
reference to the election—not in the least degree. I was
placed there merely to receive communications. Mr.
Hunt kept the accruant of the canvass. If I wanted in-
formation I somet4es applied to Mr. Bristoe. Mr.
Cobbald or Mr. ea urchman had no authority from
me • to act, neater had Mr. Bristoe. I con-
sidered I acted der the orders of Mr. Hunt.
If I exceeded • orders I considered that I
exceeded mf 414 - On the -election day there was not
a heap of go d le table. i.paid the out voters. 'The
acenunt handed n yesterday is correct. No other ex-
penses occurred. Mr. Bristoe and Mr. Cobbald had no.)
authority to pay money. They were in the room at the
time money was-paid, but they came in voluntarily, and
all the communication I had with them was for intOrma-
tion. They attended to give me informatioh, to prevent
my being imposed upon. There Were but 20 out
voters. I always considered travelling expenses to be
legal, or I should not have paid them. . I did not
pay an illegal charge that I am aware ot There was no
wp-ious contract with those voters that they should be
WEL. 'There was no sum arranged when it was de-
aded that they were to be paid. Some of them made larger
-deb :Inds than they received. I consulted Mr.. Cob-
lard ,is to what would be a reasonable amount. Those
sums were not given with the most remote view to the
vote which was recorded at the election. I did not con-
sider that I was bound to pay them, but I thought it was
just and fair. I paid them as part of the ordinary expenses
of an 'election. I paid young Pack 7s. 6d.; the reason was
that he had not been in actual employment more than
two days. That had nothing to do with the vote of the
father. If he had been employed the whole time, he
would have been paid the same nu the others. I paid
Greaves' son. lie was fit to perform the duties of a
messenger. I had no idea that I was then making a
corrupt payment, or I should not have done it. I gave
na authority to order the breakfasts at the King's Arms,
nor did I pay fur any. I never had any authority to do
so. No application was even made to me to pay for
them. I have no reserved intentions of pay ing for those
t‘reakfasts. There are a few outstanding debts, such as
the printer's bill, and 101. will cover ail.
By Mi•AiINGLAIiE.—I have lived in Ipswiclt six years.
It is the first time I have been engaged in the capacity
of making payments. My capacity was to Make pay-
n.ents under Mr. Hunt's directions ; to communicate
with, and arrange the booths. I had to engage
the band, as well as pay them. As far as I know, every
payment at the election was made through my
hands. Mr. Hunt did not interfere at ' all with
the appointment of the messengers. I did net
consult him about it. I did not communicate their
names to him. I don't remember that I made any com-
munication to Mr. Hunt about the band until I sent in
the bill. I do not know who paid the band. I paid the
money to Mr. Bianchi. I settled the amount the band
was to receive. It was 391. 19s. I cannot tell how ninny
persons were in the band. I did not keep my book of
appointments. I paid Mr. Bristoe 305., as he said
a man had applied to him for an appointment
in the band. The man's name was Burman. I did not
see the band play. I do not know whether Burman
played. I should believe that lie did not. Mr. Bristoe
told me that he had paid Burman's son 30s. to play in
his stead. I believe a man of the name of Creasy led
the band. Creasy came to me .with a man of the name
of Naunton I did . not make - any .arrangements for
Creasy's having the band, but I believe he had it, as
Mr. Bianchi told me had. The week before the election
I saw Mr. Hunt., and 1 told him that Mr. Wason was
going to give a breakfast at the Admiral's Head, and
wished to know if he (Mr. Hunt) intended to adhere to
his determination, that no breakfast should be given by
the. Blue party, and he said ho did. Mr. Hunt gave me
a cheque •to send to Mr. Jacobin for the payment of his
hill tor ss.ekiug out certain Voters in London. The
other loot whic.u. Mr. 1-lunt-advs,ndetl was for the pur-
pose of paying travelling expenses, &c. 'The term
•• loss of lane" Iva, not mentioned. I paid about
70/. or BCI. at Deck's Room on the Saturday.
I paid Mr. Berther, a hatter, 901. in one day.
and 101. on another for the payment of the special col:-
stables. There were abbut LOU appointed on the day of
the nomination. There were nearly 200 altogether.
'They were not " runners," us. they were appointed for
protection. I believe the constables were not voters. I
told Mr. Berther not to appoint a voter, as I thought
they would be liable on a scrutiny to have their names
struck oft the poll. The men were paid Ss. a day. I
have a list of messengers. I have received a notice to
produce it. I do not proeuee it. It is in Ipswich.
I have the book in which I entered the names of the
persons I paid money to for. travelling expenses. I pro-
duel it. One of the names is Cockle, and I paid him
41., as lie is the master of .a dredging-vessel. He came
from Cheltuondiston, about six miles from Ipswich. He
had to remain in Ipswich that week, and to pay his men,
and that was the reason he had 41. William Fulham I
pail 3/. to, as he was out of town at the time. He lives
at, Ipswich. I wrote to him to say his legal
travelling expenses would be paid, and he dune
the was sixty-nine miles from Ipswich. He was staying
at A veley. I thought 31. was a very reasonable sum.
I paid Mrs. Hines 31. fur the model of a ship which was
in the procession, and was decked with ribbons. Mrs.
Hines' husband was a voter. I paid a man 41., for his
expenses front retworth, in Sussex. The money paid
for the hire of the ship was considered a fair 'charge,
as it was liable to be spoiled in the crowd ; and
such a model, I understood, cost about hL or 61.
I paid W. Round 41. for coining_ from London. He is
the saute man that received 151. at the last election for
his vote. I knew this at the time t paid the 41. I don't
know that he has a house in Ipswich, but I should sup-
pose he has, as he is a voter. Mr. Bristoe spoke to me
about breakfast. I told him that neither Mr. Hunt or
the candidates would sanction-anything of the sort. My
impression is that Mr. Bristoe said that he and other
friends would order breakfasts on their own account, as
the other party were doing' so. I dined at the Crown
end Anchor ‘uth the Blue party.

ticket, and he took away the bread His Learned Friend,
Mr. Phillips, asked why they did not bring the publicans
to prove that the sitting Members had nothing- to do with
the treating. Why, it was not for him (Mr. Talbot) to
bring them ; the onus probandi was not upon him but
upon his Learned Friend. Why did they not'
call them ? They had doubtless examined them
but they did not dare to call them. He
wanted to know where the law was that prevented a
man of means giving a breakfast at the time of an eke-
tion, and, if a person did so, where the law was which
made the candidate answerable for it. He (Mr.
Talbot) once canvassed his native county, and he
called upon a Right Hon. Baronet, and, as he was
leaving the hall, he observed that tables were laid
nut with rounds of be'ef upon them and coffee cups.
lie asked what it meant, when he said my tenants
are fond of you, and they are all going up to the poll
to-morrow, and so I have invited them to breakfast with
me first. Would he (MA Talbot) be justified in saying
this shall not take place ? If he had done so he thought
destination would haVe been the horse-pond.—
(Laughter.) He then came to the matter of travelling
expenses. He would not discuss the law on this subject,
but he said that the law was certainly unsettled and
in doubt on the subject. But they had the fact
that when Mr. Steward and Mr. Hunt paid their ex-
penses, they believed at the time that they were legal,
and there was not a suspicion or intention that they
would lead to corruption. There had been no previous
contract, there had been no intention whatever to com-
mit acts of bribery or corruption. Looking to the whole
of this case, he felt there was nothing of which the Hon.
Members eould be ashamed, and he hoped that the Com-
mittee would bear them up by their decision in that
feeling.
It being announced that the Speaker was at prayers
the Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock to-day.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by ,Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the " Times i"— . _.. . .

" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has:been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematous and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. eaving exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of ion-
suiting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, awl was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and 1 am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford. I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to 11Ir. Feavor's Embrocation,l am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to any fellow,uf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THURSDAY.

GLOBE.—The present session of Parliament
hastens to its termination. Its closing scenes resem-
ble those presented at its earlier sittings. Bribery
upplied it with business when it first met ;
Bribery furnished abundant employment for its
Committees, and fruitful themes for 'debate, as the
session advanced—and Bribery constitutes the chief
discussion, now that the curtain is about to fall upon
the stage, and the House break up for the season.
The history of Parliaments presents nothing equal to
the odium and reproach which rests upon the present
House of Commons, caused by the unprecedented cor-
ruption of the elective bodies by those who sought, and
obtained by such means, the questionable honour of a
seat within its walls. Former Parliaments have been
distinguished by some circumstance arising out of the
occasions on which they were called—the length cr
shortness of their duration, or the more prominent
measures which they originated or matured. From one
or other of these causes they have been designated in his-
tory. The House of Commons which hails Sir Robert
Peel as its chief, and passes his measures, is, beyond
all question the most corrupt of any one of its prede-
cessors. "Bribery" is inscribed upon its portals—
" Bribery" is written with a pen of iron upon many
a brow of brass within its walls—and by the charac-
teristic appellation of " the Bribery Parliament," will
it be handed down to posterity ! The proceedings of
its numerous committees the resolutions recorded
upon its "Votes and Proceedings"—and the necessity
apparently admitted on all hands of something being
done to rescue it from undying disgrace,' originated
the Bill of which we yesterday gave an analysis.
STANDARD.—Sir Robert Inglis subjected him-
self to the attack of Messrs. O'Connell and Sheil, by
declaring that violent intimidation is at" least as great
a political crime as bribery. We have no hesitation in
saying, that, in moral guilt, violent intimidation is at
least as black a crime as bribery, and politically a
much blacker crime. If bribery leads to hypocrisy,
so does intimidation ; for to vote against one's convic-
tion from cowardice is just as bad as to vote against
one's conviction for gain; and if bribery some-
times leads to perjury, violent intimidation as often
leads to mutilation and to murder itself. Politi-
cally, violent intimidation is a worse crime than
bribery, because, first, it openly insults the law,
and secondly, because it always provokes bri-
bery, and the worst kind of bribery, more
especially treating. Men will not always will-
ingly confront danger, and hence the motive to
add the stimulus of a bribe to their political zeal.
And even wlaere inen_yould scorn to_ touch intmley,
they will be easily persuaded to assemble for their
common safety ; and when they are assembled they
must eat and drink, and will not think that they do
wrong or dishonour themselves by eating and drink-
ing at the expense of those in whose behalf they ex-
pose themselves to inconvenience, and, it may be,
danger. If the Legislature desires that elections shall
be pure, let them first take care that elections shall be
free—they may be very well assured that they can-
not have the one without the other. Now, elec-
tions at present are certainly not free, as we may
know by the history of the electors forcibly carried
off by professional pugilists at Nottingham, and
cooped in the garden of the ex-Prime Minister—
know, if possible, more certainly by the report of the
Cork Committee, which, in defiance of the evidence
recorded before it, proving that no pretence of free-
dom existed at any one moment or in any one
street during the last contest, nevertheless awarded
the seat disputed to the author of such out-
rageous violence. It is absurd and insulting to
common sense to countenance this tyrannical exer-
cise of brute force, and then to affect a zeal for the
fairness of elections. Let Parliament begin at the
right end, and place violent intimidation and bribery
upon at least the same footing, and as, even in the
present defective state of the law, a bribe traced to
a candidate or his proved agent, deprives the former
of his seat, declare that an act of violent intimidation
so traced shall have the same effect. 'Until this shall
be done there can be no end of bribery and treating.

" I am, your obedient servant,
TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.

OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS BY THE KING.
The King left the Tuileries on Tuesday. for 11w
Chambers, at one o'clock precisely, accompanied by the
Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, the D: ke
u'Aumale, and the Duke de Montpeasier. He entered
his carriage while it was under the archway leading to
the quays, instead of, as usual, at the door of thePa-
villon de Fiore. _ _ _ _

" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P. S. At the various consultations held upan my case, the
surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter•
urinate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H."-
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious
in any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot. corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;
or from the Proprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London.

PUBLIC MEETING AT TOOTING.
Wednesday a large and highly respectable meeting was
held in the large room at the Rising Sun, Tooting, for the
purpose of receiving a deputation from the Anti-Corn-law
Conference, to consider the present distressed state of the
country, and the causes that have produced it. The room
was crowded to suffocation, and a large number of ladiei
occupied the benches around and in front of the platform.
On the motion of Mr. Aitken, seconded by Mr. Williams,
Mr. Martin took the Chair, and introduced the deputation
to the meeting, 'by a few prefatory remarks on the critical
condition of the country, and the necessity of totally
and immediately abolishing the Corn-laws. The deputation
consisted of Mr. Paulton, from Bolton, the Rev. Mr. Bonner,
from Bibton, and Mr. Wink, the delegate from Leicester
The Chairman introduced Mr. Paulton to the meeting, who
entered at length into the evidences and matter-of-fact state-
ment of the universally pervading wretchedness of the people.
He showed that distress did not exist in isolated localities, or
the great seats of manufacturing industry only, but that it per-
vaded the whole length and breadth of the land, and was as
severely felt in the strictly rural, as in any other parts of the
country. lie gave a harrowing description of the privations
and misery of the agriculturalpeasantry,.and showed how rapi:l
had been the spread of pauperism and crime within the last few
years in the most strictly agricultural counties. He proved
these afflicting results to be the necessary consequences of our
restrictive laws ; and contended that the interests of the culti-
vators of the soil were as much identified with the repeal of
the Corn-laws as those of any other class of the community.
The Rev. Mr. BONNER, next addressed the meeting. and
exposed the horrid state of destitution that pervaded the
mining district from which he came, and the fearful desperation
that was rapidly growing sad the horrors of destitution. fie
then appealed to the religious sentiments of his hearers, and in
the most effective and feeling manner, showed how awfully the

A salute of cannon announced the departure of his
Majesty. The cortege was headed by a party of cuiras-
siers, with their band, folloped by a strong detachment
of the National Guard a Cheval. The Royal carriage
was surrounded by a brilliant staff, a marshal of France
riding at each door. All the domestics were in deep
mourning, but the carriages were the same as those
used on ordinary occasions. The attendance of troops
of the line, national and municipal guards, NVA un-
usually large. In some parts a double rank of troops
of the line was drawn up in the rear of the National
Guards. The usual salutes were given by the drums
and hands when his Majesty passed ; but there were
no cries of " Vice le Roil " The precautionary mea-
sures were more than ever severe, the line of demarcation

For the public on the Place de la Concorde being the
last fountain.

The Place du Carrousel. and the adjacent Quai ivere
more than usually crowded to witness the cortege. The
servants of the Royal Household and all persons attacheo
to the palace were in the deepest mourning, and the mi.,
litary, of course, wore the customary crape round the
left arm,' The staff which surrounded his Majesty's car-
riagewas extremelynumerous and brilliant, ,but an in-
describable sadness appeared to pervade the entire mass,
both of military and spectators. It was impossible to
obtain the slightest view of the King, in consequence of

the number of officers who rode near the doors of the
vehicle ; but respectful manifestations of sympathy and
regret were heard on all sides as the carriage passed along.
The melancholy interest attached to the present open-
ing of the Chambers attracted a considerable number of
persons round the doors of the Valais-Bourbon as early
as nine o'clock. Admission was given to those furnished
with tickets at ten, and very shortly after every seat in
the public galleries was occupied, the front ranges of
seats being as usual reserved for the auditory, who were
for the most part, though not universally, dressed in
deep mourning. We even remarked white bonnets, crim-
son and blue dresses, and shawls of various colours.
The gentlemen showed better taste, and were, without.
exception, in black. The ladies were fewer than we
have seen them on other occasions. The usual military
arrangements had been made to guard the approaches to
the Chamber and preserve order in the neighbourhood,
a strong body of troops being stationed along the line of
the procession. The interior arrangements and decora-
tions of the Chamber were nearly the same as those of
last year ; the President's chair and the Parliamentary
tribune having been removed to make way for the Royal
fauteuil, and for four tabourets for the Princes, which
were of crimson velvet, and placed on an elevated es-
trale, approached by carpeted steps, on which were
benches of crimson velvet, for the accommodation of the
Council of State, general officers of the staff, members of
the Institute, &c. Behind the Royal seat was disposed
a drapery of crimson velvet, in front of which rose another
of the same material, enriched on the top with a crown,
the whole surmounted with tri-coloured flags. 'Misfit isc
ceau was hung with weepers of black crape, which, with
similar emblems of mourning on the gilt ornaments at each
side of the canopy, constituted the only change effected
in the internal arrangement of the Chamber. The walls

on each side of the canopy were hung with green velvet
that extended to the public tribunes, which were orna-
mented with a deep gilt border, and with a profusion of
embossed gold ornaments, in the form of wreaths and
festoons. Up to eleven o'clock the benches of the Depu-
ties were altogether empty, the house presenting a deso-
late appearance, only relieved occasionally by the mo-
mentary presence of some solitary usher, as he went from
one side to another in the execution of his duty.

At twelve the House began to fill, and, amongst the
earliest arrivals we observed, MM. de Lamartine, Lara-
bit, Golbery, Dugabe, Tailbalder, Ledru•liollin, Odillun
13arrut, Las Cases, De Salvandy, the Duke de Marmier,
De Cormenin, and G. Lafayette.
At haf past twelve several Peers had taken their seats
on the benches at right of the estrade, and the members
of the Centre formed a compact and conspicuous mass.
The seats also in front were by this time occupied by
General and Staff Officers, the Members of the Coun:il
and of the Institute.

At a quarter to one the corps diplomatique took their
seats, and made a very brilliant appearance. They wore
black gloves with their uniform, and crape on the left'
arm. At one o'clock all the Deputies at present in Pars
had arrived, and in no part of the Chamber could a void
be seen. The Peers, we remarked, had seldom assem-
bled in. such great numbers_
At ten minutes past one, Marshal Soult, MM. Guizot,
Minima Duperre, Test, and Cunin-Gridaine took their
.eats on the right below the Throne, and MM. Martin
(du Nord), Villemain, and Lacave-Laplagne, on the left,
in official costume. In fifteen minutes after the two de-
putations entered, deep silmee took place, and " the
King" was loudly announced by an usher of the Cham-
ber, and immediately after his Majesty entered, preceded
by the usual cortege, and was enthusiastically cheered by
those present. The King stopped on the stairs, and
bowed repeatedly, evidently much affected by the warmth
of his reception. Fresh shouts of " Vive le Roi" attended
his appearance on the estrade, which he again responded
to by fresh salutes. His Majesty and the Princes then
took their seats, and when silence was restored, he pro-
ceeded to read the speech, which we published in The
Sun of yesterday.
The circumstances attending the reading of the above
speech were perhaps unparalleled in the history of Par-
liamentary sittings. The King's etiotion was so great
that he found it impossible to give utterance to the
words. He made the attempt a second time, and again
he was unsuccessful. The auditory burst forth into one
long cry of " Vive le lloi !" which seemed to give
courage. He at last found utterance, but his voice was
thick, husky, and broken with agitation. At the word
" consolation " the King could no longer withstand the
torrent of his grief ; he laid down the document, vnd '
burst into tears. The whole auditory was deeply
afflicted, and we do not exaggerate. in saying none pre-
sent could resist the contagion. Loud, long-continued,
and reiterated shouts again greeted him. Again he re-
sumed, and his voice became stronger until he spoke
the words mon fils, when it again faltered. At ma ten-
dresse tears again prevented his proceeding, and the
shouts of the auditory were again necessary to give
him confidence to conclude. At the end, his Majesty
rose, crossed his arms on his breast, and in an effusion of
gratitude for his reception, after bowing to the Cham-
ber, sunk back on his seat, and sobbed convulsively,
hiding his features in his handkerchief. It was alt -
gether one of the most affecting scenes we have over
witnessed, and it was long before the persons present
could recover from their emotion.. The Duke de Ne-
mours and the Duke d'Aumale sat on the right of the
King, and the Prince de Joinville and the Duke de
Mont easier on the left. They all appeared exceedingly
cast down, and the Duke de Nemours was much changed
in appearance, being much thinner and paler than usual.
The King, we have sincere pleasure in stating, looked
in good health, and, considering what lie has suffered,
appeared little changed. After the speech, and having
bowed to the Chamber, the King advanced to the front
of the estrade, and repeatedly acknowledged his atilc-
tionate reception. The cries of " Vive to Rot" were again
loud and long-continued at his departure. The whole
sitting lasted exactly twenty-five minutes.

Mr. TALBOT then rose to address the Committee.
He said he was about to introduce a novelty
in the proceedings in the shape of a short speech.—(A
laugh.) He thought the case had been so fully and ably
discussed by his Learned Friend, Mr. Austin, that there
was little for him (Mr. Talbot) to do. He should, therefore,
confine himself to the new ma tter-which.had arisen since
his Learned Friend addressed the Committee. He was
happy to say that those cases which had been stated at
the outset, as involving the Honourable Member whom
he represented, had ended in total fabrication.
Ile was glad to say that his Learned Friend, Mr. King-
lake, had put in a disclaimer much to his honour, but
he could not extend that compliment to the persons who
instructed him, and who directed his Learned Friend,
Phillips, to cross-examine as he had done. Mir
was Mr. Hunt asked if he did not know that candidates
always disclaimed bribery ? That question was put to
insinuate that these Honourable Members whom he
(Mr. Talbot) represented went down with professions
contrary to their interest. It would have been con-
sistent if those Hon. Members had paid a large sum into
their bankers' hands, far above the usual charges of an
election ; but there was nothing; of the sort. He con-
tended; with his Learned Friend, that no acts of corruption
whatever had been traced to the Hon. Memhers. With
regard to the question of agency that had altogether failed,
by the course of evidence which had been just adduced.
They were told that Mr.BristOe canvassed with the sitting
Member. What was the evidence, that Mr. Bristoe had
been with the party for half an hour. Then it was said
that Mr. Bristoe recommended the band
;but the evi-
dence proved that there was nothing of the kind, as the
band was recommended by Mr. Bianchi. The Learned
Gentleman then ran through the evidence, and contended
that there was not a tittle of proof to shew that Mr. Cooke,
Mr. Cobbald, or Mr. Bristoe„ were agents to the .sitting
Member. A gentleman goes down to canvass a town, takiter
an attorney from London, telling him that he would nut.sanction any illegal expenditure; that he would sootier
lose his election, as it was a course he abhorred ; and
that person to whom he had given such orders
goes beyond them.
Was that gentleman by law
to be answerable for those acts

He would briefly allude to the matter of treating. It-
did not become him to speculate what amount of treat-
ing, if proved, there should be, to constitute in the
minds of the Committee a sufficient ground to.
vitiate an election ; but he would say that a smaller
mouse from a greater mountain was never seen,
than this attempt at proof of treating, and treating
to such an extent as to render an election void. With
respect to the tickets issued, only let them compare
this to the Hertford case, where thousands of tickets
were issued before the teste of the writ, and not for break-
fasts—not for a small party—but for a whole town, and
at ss. each. A man might have taken them to a baker's
shop, and ordered five shillings worth of bread, and
instead of putting down five shillings put down a ,is.

tered the oath of office to some of the Members of the
Lower Chamber, elected or re-elected since the last

session. M. Martin (du 'Nord), Minister of Justice,
haring then, in the usual form, announced that the
session of 1842-3 was duly opened, the King and the
Princes retired.

A few minutes before two the King left the Chamber,
and returned by the same route and with the same cor-
tege to the Tuileries, where he arrived exactly as the

A well-known German writer publishes in the German
Cmtrier an account of an interview which he had with
the puke of Orleans ;
",The l)uke spoke German perfectly, and seemed well
acquainted with our literature. He reckoned Heine's
songs among the classics. Speaking of German Journals,
he denied to Teutonisra any practical idea. I replied,
continues the writer, that the necessity of a complete
union amongst Germans was too generally felt not to be
dominant. The _Duke replied—
" I do not deny a brilliant future to the Germans.
Though a Frenchman, and a patriotic one, I am far from
joining in their coffee. house opinions, which would found
the grandeur and preponderance of France on capricious
conquests. We have made great sacrifices to peace. I
do not regret them ; but I should like to see Germany
independent, and not have it eternally supposed that
Germany is identical with Russia. Ido not want Ger-
many to be France, or to agree with 'us always. I am
satisfied with the influence which a nation of 34,000,000
would have on the deStinies of Europe. What is want •
ing for Germany is to be German. You see, Ido not
want to lessen her power. In order to please Russia,
the Germans would not consent to recognise Queen
Isabella. In abolishing the Salic law, my family made
a sacrifice to the peace of Europe. The German Powers
ought to have done as much."
Speaking of the dangers likely to occur after the
King's death, the Prince said, " We are 'five brothers,
and it is probable that at least one of us will survive the
King. The succession will pm tranquillp and. not, be
disputed by more than an ajtitire de yens d arnzerze.

We have hitherto refrained from making any
comment on the " scandal" which has lately been rife in the
clubs, respecting the abstraction of a noble lady's jewels by a
lady of high rank, her intimate friend. In adverting to it
now, we do so merely for the purpose of stating that, however
deeply the fact is to be regretted, but one opinion is entertained
of the delicacy and forbearance of the noble lady whose confi-
dence was so sadly misplaced.—Morning Paper.
