SUN.—The prices of the Funds towards the close
evinced a tendency to improve still further, and the last
price of Consols was 901- 901,-. for Money, and 9018 91
for the Account ; Bank Stock, 165) 1661 ; India
Stock, 249 25U ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 46 48 ; New,
44 46 prem.
The nominal prices of Foreign Securities, for no real
business was done, were—Belgian, 1011 10:4 ; Dutch
Two-and• a-Half per Cents., 51 511; the Five per Cents.,
101 1011 ; Danish, 82 83 ; and Brazilian, 63 65.
The quotation for Mexican remained at 36+ 361.
Scarcely any transactions were entered into in Shares;
London and Birmintham were 178 180 ; Birmingham
and Gloucester, 48 50 ; Grew.- Western, 861 871; ; the
Hail* Shares, 61-k 621, ; South Western, 61:1F 62-4 ;- North
Midland,s9 60 ; the-New Shares, 29 30 ; South Eastern
and Dover, 221 23 ; the New Shares, 21 3 ; lit;::stern
Counties. 8 91; Northern and Eastern, 401-411 ; Black-
wall, 9 9k ; and Brighton, 331 33:4 per share.
The usual return of the average assets and liabilities
of the Bank of England, for the twelve weeks ending
the 16th instant, was publish Lil in the Gazette of last
night. The circulation, by comparison with the former
return, has increased 484,0001., the difference between
18,279,000/. and 17,795,0001. ; the deposits are greater
by 554,000/, the difference between 8,565,000/. and
8,011,000/. ; the securities in deposit are more by
532,000/., the difference beta een 21,715,0001, and
21,181,0001. ; and the stock of bullion is larger
by 498,0001., the difference between 7,818,000/. and
7,320,0001. There is a trifling decrease in the rest, the
balance between the liabilities and the assets last time
being 2,695.0001. and now 2,687,0001.
In ordinary months this increase in the circulation
might be viewed as indicative of an improvement in
commercial prosperity ; it must, however, be remem-
bered that in the present return the amount necessary
for the payment of the dividends has to be eplculated. It
has to be 'admitted that the enlargement is not wholly
owing to that circumstance, but that the demand for
money, for commercial purposes, has decidedly im-
proved on the month, of which the present accounts
embrace a part. The payments, on account of duties,
and the impetus which the tariff has given to trade,
have caused a larger amount of bills to be thrown into
circulation, and so far the (figures may be viewed as fa-
vourable, but no decided opinion can be given until the
returns of the general circulation of the kingdom be
published, from which the state of trade throughout the
country at large may be deduced.
The stock of Bullion, taken in connexion with the ac-
counts of the harvest, is doubtless favourable. It is at
this season of the year, that the necessity for gold first
shows itself, should there be any undue demand for coin,
but the amount of metal in store shows a steady increase,
thereby proving, in conjunction with the rates of Ex-
change, that the inquiry for exportation has not been
large. It was expected, that the quantity of light coin
paid into the Bank would have given a large supposi-
tious increase in the present return, but it has
been ascertained that almost the wholei received
had been delivered to be recoincd, as well as, a large
amount of silver in addition, so that the accounts now
presented may fairly be considered as representing an
approximation to the truth,
The letters from Rio Janeiro, the latest of which ari.t
:dated the 25th of May, state business to be still ex-
cessively dull, and without any new feature. Hopes,
however, are held out, that an improved demand will arise
for our manufactures, but consequent only on a diminu-
tion of the stocks.

Further particulars-will be announced in future udvertise •

THE SISTER. of the POET BURNS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
" My curse upon your whunstane hearts,
Ye Embrugh gentry
The tythe o' what ye waste at cartes,
Wad stow'd his pantry !"
BURNS.

Sin,—Such was the indignant apostrophe of the
" Bard of Coila" at the shameful state of destitution
in which his brother poet Ferguson had been left by
his countrymen. By the simple alteration of the
pronoun in the last line it is singularly appli-
cable to the state of utter destitution in which
the sister of the bard is at present unhappily
left. The Sun was the first newspaper to announce
the melancholy fact that the sister of Robert Burns is
still living, at an advanced age, at the village of Tra-
nent, in Haddingtonshire ; that she is entirely de-
pendent on her two unmarried daughters, who, though
active and respectable young women, yet, in spite of
all their exertions, are barely able to keep house for
themselves and their aged parent—in short, that .the
sister of Burns has fallen into poverty, the dread of
which is the theme of so many of her brother's verses.
How frequently does he speak of
" That iron-hearted citric, Want,
Attended in his grim advances
By sad mistakes and black mischances."
And with what dire forebodings does he look forward
to the possibility of such a consummation. One only
alleviation of her fate, it appears, has sprung from the
fame of her brother, in the shape of the most trifling
annual pittance from the Scottish Exchequer. It
would be needless to expatiate on so distressing an
appeal, as such would only be an echo of the senti-
ments you have already expressed ; but it is truly
melancholy to think that the last survivor of the fa-
mily of Burns's father should, in her latter days, be
suffering from the chill hands of penury, and sus-
tained chiefly by the exertions of two dutiful children.
There is one thing which somewhat surprises me.
Three of the poet's sons are still living. The eldest,
Robert, resides at Dumfries, and is in the enjoyment
of a pension ; Major Burns resides in England, and I
believe is in the receipt of a pension from the East In-
dia Company ; the third is in the Company's service
in some part of India. Could they have been aware
of the painful circumstances in which their relative is
placed ? and if so, have they at any time endeavoured
to alleviate her distress ? it is to be hoped they
have. However, through i lr. H. Chambers, whose
• conduct throughout merits the warmest commenda-
tions,
the case has been brought before the public. It
gives me great pleasure to add, that since the above
notice, Sir Charles S. Monteath, Mr. Carlyle, and the
celebrated vocalist Mr. Wilson, who ,was Among the
first to promote so laudable an undertaking, have en-'
gaged to act as a committee to superintend the
.collee-
tion and disposal of a fund for the benefit of Mrs.
Begg (the sister of Burns), and that already some
handsome tributes have been paid in, affording ground
of hope that a sufficiency will be obtained to procure
her a small annuity. It is to be hoped that a portion
of what has been already collected will be given her
to alleviate her present wants, and that enough will
be collected to provide for her future maintenance.

. NIS-STATEMENT OF PROSPERITY.—As we copied
last week that statement of the Manchester Guardian,
relative to the increasing prosperity of the country,
which was afterwards 'quoted in the House of Commits
by Sir litlbert Peel, we have now to notice that the
Guardian has retracted it to a considerable extent. That
Journal of Saturday said :—" We feel it due to our
readers and ourselves to admit, that on one point we
were undoubtedly in error. We never understood or
meant to say, that the orders from the United States
were considerable, but that orders considerable in the
aggregate had been received, some from the \Vest In-
dies, sonic . from Canada, and some from the United
States, placing those countries in the sequence which
we understood to indicate the relative importance of the
orders received. So far as the United States are cot -
corned, however, we find that we laboured under a mis-
conception of the meaning of what was said to us; and
that the orders which have been recently received from
that quarter are of a very trivial character."
The Globe states that in the diplomatic circles at ,
Berlin there is much talk of the creation of Syria into a king-
doin under a German prince, who should have the protection of
the great powers, like the King of Greece.
11 AMWAY TRAFFIC.—The following calculation of
the last weekly returns of thirty-eight railways, 1,337
miles in length, given in our present nuMber, will, we
believe, be of interest :—Number of passengers on
twenty-five railways, 361,738, consequently the total for
the week must be about -10000. The receipts for pas-
sengers on thirty-seven railways, 76,9211. 19s. ; ditto for
goods, on thirty-one railways, 17,3691. 4s. 2d. ; total,
94,2911. 3s. I Id. This is an average of 70-A-1. per mile
per week. The traffic, therefore, is certainly at the rate
of about four millions a year, and carrying fifteen mil-
lions of passengers.—Railway Magazine.
'At King of Bavaria, says a letter from Cologne,

REPORT.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.)
The following refers to
READING:
'The petition on these terms was withdrawn.
The circumstances which induced the sitting Members
thus to give up one seat and run a risk, deemed by Mr.
Russell himself almost a certainty, of paying 2,1)001., are
st:..tud to have been—
!. An apprehension on the part of the counsel of the
sitting Members, that there was great danger incurred,
by defending the seats, of losing them both.
2. The certainty of great expense, with very great
chance of an unfavourable issue.
On the part of Mr. Mills, the expectation was that he
was ceitain of being returned upon the vacancy.
That the constituency of Reading is 1,050.
That the gross cost of this election to Mr. Russell the
Committee could not accurately ascertain, as the accounts
have not yet. been rendered to him. He himself states
that he has paid on account abort 1,1001. or 1,200/. The
agent of Mr. Russell says that lie has delivered to him-
self, as agent of Mr. Russell, further bills to the amount
of above 3,0001., some of which he believes are joint bills
of Mr. Russell and Lord Chelsea.
Lord Chelsea himself believes, as appears froyn his
answers to the Committee, that his expenses will not ex-
ceed 2,00 a
Of the application of the whole of this money the
Committee could gain no accurate information. Mr.
Russell, Lord Chelsea, and their agent, distinctly asset t
that part was expended in direct bribery ; though it
is admitted, by both sitting Members, that so large a seat
could not all have been spent in legal and proper dis-
bursements ; and their agent, when asked as to this ex-
penditure, and snore especially whether beer-shops had
been opened, declined to answer. The opposite agent
speaks in very positive terms as. to the charge of treating
and bribery he expected to prove.
't bat the gross cost of the election to Mr. 'l'. Mills was
1,6001.
Of the expenditure of this money nothing very accurate
could Le ascertained ; that any part of it was spent in
direct bribery all parties concerned in its distribution
deny ; but, at the same time, it is admitted by Mr. Mills,
and also by his agent, that much must have been spent
improperly.
Your Committee also found, in the case
PENRYN AND FALMOUTH,
that at the last general election Captain Vivian and Cap-
tain Plumridge were returned as duly elected; that the
opposing candidates were Mr. Gwynn and Mr. Sartoris.
That the state of the po!l was as follows:
Captain Vivian

462

Captain Plumridge
Mr. Gwynn
Mr. Sartoris

That a petition was presented by certain electors on
behalf of Mr. Gwynn, praying for a void election in the
case of Captain Plumridge, which petition contained,
among others, charges of bribery and corruption on the
part of Captain Plumridge and his agents.—(See Ap-
pendix K) •
That a Committee was appointed to try this case, and
proceeded so to do: when on the fourth day of its sit-
ting, and towards the close of the petitioner's case, the
labours of the Coinmittee were brought to a sudden ter-
mination by a compromise entered into by the agent of
Captain Plumridge on the one hand, and the agent of the
petitioners and Mr. Gwynn, the opposing candidate, on
the other.
The terms of this arrangement were merely verbal, and
were to the following effect :-
1. That the petition was to bee ithdrawn.
2. That Captain Plumridge would thereupon, and
before the Ist of July, accept the Chiltern Hundreds, and
thereby vacate his seat.
3. That no opposition should be given by Captain
Plumridge to the return of any person proposed by the
party presenting the petition. .
That this arrangement, though made by the autho-
rised agent of Captain Plumridge, was made wholly with-
out his knowledge or consent.
The circumstance which by the agent is stated as the
cause of his making this compromise was the apprehen-
sion on his part that any further defence of the seat
would have been useless, as lie felt certain that the case
I of general corruption would be believed by the Election
I Committee. That, indeed, he had no further funds for
the defence ; but that, if he could have had all the money
that was needed, he would not have continued the de-
fqnce, and that he was entirely led to this determination
by the certainty that extensive and systematic bribery
would be proved to the satisfaction of the Committee.
It appears that during the election Captain Plumridge
spent- )10 money, bore no part of the expenses, and he
declares solemnly that lie was personally not cognisant
either of any direct or indirect act of bribery or corrup-
tion. His agent for the conduct of the petition states
that a general system of bribery did prevail at the
election.
Ire states further that bribery was common to both
side, and this was admitted also by their agent for the
I petitioners.
Tim gross sum expended on the joint election of Cap-
tain Vivian and Captain Plumridge was, by their agent,
stated to be about 4,0001.
The gross sum expended by the opposing candidates
was, by their agent, stated to have been 4,000/.
As to the acknowledged illegal expenditure of these
sums, your Committee beg leave to refer the House to
the evidence of the agents of the sitting Members and
the petitioners.
This case gi% es rise to the observations of the Com-
mittee on the injustice resulting from the present state
of the law in those cases where a void election is simply
prayed for, and not the seat.
Your Committee, to whom was also referred an inquiry
ordered to be made into certain corrupt compromises
alleged to have been entered into for the purpose of
avoiding investigation into gross bribery, which had
been alleged to have been practised at the election of the
borough of Bridport in June last, and also whether such
bribery had taken place in the aforesaid town ; and who
were empowered to report their opinion thereon :
Have considered those other matters to them referred,
and have agreed to the following separate Report
thereupon :
Acting on the principle which had guided their in-
quiry, respecting the cases submitted to them by the first
reference of the House, your Committee proceeded to
investigate the allegations respecting
BRIDPORT,
which formed the subject of the second reference.
The peculiar circumstances attending this inquiry have
compelled your Committee to pursue a course ditferen
from that which they have adopted in all the cases sub.
mated in the first order of reference.
Your Committee, as soon as they commenced their
task, with respect to the late elections at Br:dport, and
the compromises alleged to have taken place to avoid in-
vestigation into the proceedings of those elections, dis-
covered that two very distinct subjects of inquiry were
by all the witnesses forced upon the attention of your
Committee ; viz. one, the question of public import,
which was deemed common to this and all the preceding
cases ; the other, private differences between the various
parties concerned in the elections which had taken place.
Your Committee determined to confine themselves en-
tirely to the public question, and refused to inquire into,
or to express, any opinion upon the matter of private
difference ; and every witness
.called before them was
carefully desired to restrict his evidence to the point
which your Committee sought to investigate, and to
abstain from any mention of matters of mere personal
and private consideration. It was, nevertheless, found
impossible so to restrict witnesses, whose chief object
appeared to be, by means of a public inquiry, to justify
the part which each had taken in a private dispute ; and
in spite of the continued and strenuous efforts of your
Committee, the evidence submitted to them assumed a.
character so decidedly personal, the public and the pri-
vate questions became so mixed and blended together,
and private feeling so prevailed in every part of the tes-
timony, that your Committee felt themselves obliged to
decline the responsibility of reporting it to the House •
and to assure the House, that, in their opinion, no good
object could be obtained by circulating a mass of evidence
of the nature described.
In the progress of this investigation your Committee I
obtained evidence sufficient to enable them to fulfil the
orders of the House, and to report upon the inquiry
submitted to them. From the evidence as it now stands,
your Committee have unanimously drawn the conclusions
which they are now about to lay before the House. For
public purposes, the investigation bps been sufficiently
accurate and extensive. It would, however, be impossi-
ble to determine how much further time would be ne-
cessary fully to inquire into the subjects of private dif-
ferences connected with these transactions. As the I
Committee did not consider it a part cf their duty to
prosecute such inquiry, they have, without hesitation,
stopped short the moment they found the public object
attained, thus of necessity leaving the evidence altogether
incomplete as respects the questions of mere private and
personal consideration ; and from this circumstance
alone, it' no other objection existed, your Committee
would have considered it expedient as well as just,
to let the evidence remain unpublished. They hope
I that when the House has duly weighed the reasons
hick they now offer for the course which they have
deemed themselves obliged to adopt, that their determi-
nation will receive its sanction and approbation.
Your Committee have been enabled in the case of
Bridport to come to the following conclusions, which
they new lay before the house :
'they folud that at eta, last general election' Mr. Wal -
but toll' and Mr. Mitchell were returned- as duly elected,
n-
the opposin candidate being' Mr. Abixander Cochrane.
The poll was as follows :
:104
Mr. Warburton......
282
Mr. Mitchell
244 6
MI. Cochrane
That soon after the election, Mr. Warburton, hearine,
that a petition was agog`to be presented against his re-
t„rn. ei well as that of elr. Mitchell, on the ground of
bribery and corruption, made an offer to Mr. Cochrane,'
which, eventually was accepted, and reduced to Writing,
in the following terms
