SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch.

The House of Comnions was occupied last night with
the miscellaneous estimates, which annually lays bare so
=any instances of small jobbing on the part of Mi-
nisters. There was first 961. for defraying the expenses
or an Apostolical visit paid by the Bishop of EXETER to
the-Scilly Islands. We never heard of a more shame-
less, anti-Christian job, than this. The ghostly Prelate
receives some 6,0001. a-year from the See of Exeter, and
yet draws a bill upon the Treasury for co-operating to
save the souls of the poor priest- neglected inhabitants
of the Scilly Islands. It was not thus CHRIST and his
Apostles preached the Gospel. The Redeemer drew no
bills upon the Treasury of PONTIUS PILATE or the Te-
trarch• HEnOD when he fed the multitudes in the wilder-
ness with celestial and human food; nor did his Apostles
PETER and Rm. dream of charging upon the Imperial
Treasury of the Roman Emperors the expenses of their
voyages to Rome. The new Bishop of JERUSALEM, influe-
ene,:d probably by recollections of the sacred soil in which
be was to exercise his ministry, put the nation to an ex-
pense of. `3O/. ss. for his voyage from England to Jaffa ;
vvihn.:!as.the ghostly EXETER charges 961. for a forty-
'eight hears' trip to. a region more favourable to the
slumbers of an Episcopal conscience. There is no
lady in the • land, one distinguished personage
only excepted, to whom we less grudge what-
ever may conduce to her comfort, than her
Royal High-ness the Duchess of KENT, and therefore we
consider it was pitiful on the part of Ministers to put,
her name in the estimates for a paltry outlay of 681.
spent in entertaining her. The country allows the
Duchess 30,0001. a year, and if Ministers consider that
entertainments should be given her at the public ex-
pense, let them-either beforehand signify the fact to the
nation, or defray the expenses of them themselvc:4
We arc persuaded that her Royal Highness is 'en-
tirely -ignorant of such an abuse of her name ; and
that had she known of such a charge appearing. in the
estinuttes she would have ordered it to be paid out of
her own inome. Then there was 500/. for carrying
S.llGttortun myrnun from Canada to England. Now,
1150 expense of the voyage could not at the utmost
ctot half that sum, so the other moiety dropped quietly
inio the pocket of the ex-Governor. Another gross,
d:sgniceful, and dishonourable job isms charging
the public for the robes and collars of the
ditforent orders of. Knighthood. The item for
this in the estimates is 4221. What, in the name of
common dceency, have the tax-paying people of Eng-
land to do with these fripperies ? If there be over-
grown children in the public service Rho wish to distin-
guish themselves by patches and trinkets, they ought
at least to pay for then. When decorations are given
to brav,v men fur really distinguished senices, such
as C:;n.mo 'ore NAPIER, .I‘dMir.:l PARKER., Major-
GereTal Gomm, General SALE, and the late Colond
DENNIE, the people of England are proud to do homage
rterling worth by defraying all necessary expense:- ;
ha! the case is ditibseut 'when orders are conferred upon
C..:rt phy.sicians, Court flatterers, and corrupt Ministe-
rial kook in tilt House of Commons. As Governor-
Gen, ra! of Canad?., the lute Lord SYDENIIAM had
a year, inlepLndent of a large private

prna....ed in the next Budget to aty,ite one item eon,
p!ained uf by that very hont.st, but very fir from pre-

Jim!. his conf,Trel an inestimable betufit upon
his couniry by his Post-office reform, and
ti;e least reward to which he was entitled to
look, was employment for life in that Depart-
ment. But it is ever thus that the country is juggled.
Wnen retrolicitmeat is insisted on, Ministers are sure to
sac.•:tice some deserving institution or person in the
imp of creating a re-action in the public mind. The
e tal ;:buses cre left untouche2.

Th..: case of the unfortunate shipping class of claimants
for losses caused by the Danish Government was brought
uncl.r the notice of the House, last night, by Mr. HUTT,
not sim much with the view of pressing for the amount
bin included in 'this year's estimates, as to protest
tikaint the injui ions delay and unjust opposition on the
part of time Government to repeated decisions of the
Row.e,of Commons. The claimants wisely reserved the
further prostcution of their rights:until the next session,
when the financial state .of the country will be in a better
condition to refund a portion at least of the ltrge sum of
money which had actually been paid into the Treasury
u3wards of thirty years ago, for the indemnification of
thse parties. The merits of the case having been so
often deCitle_t:by large majorities, the Hon. Member
should have confined his observations entirely to the
unconstitutional resistance which the Government up-
pe:lr to be giving to those claims after the /bur decisions
of the House. of Commons, and her MAJESTY'S gracious
ensw,or to the address of the House in their favour.
The elaiinanu, however, have no reason to regret the

rest*, tier the s'. ort speech .of Mr. IltrmE placed the
right the claimants in such a clear point of view, that
the Kottie, in justice to its own honour and the constitu-
tional law of the land, cannot fitil, on the subject being
brought forward next session, to vindicate their autho-
rity.. This •is nu .party question. Many Conservatives,
as.well as Whigs and Liberate, regard it as a question of
right, and regret that the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer. should have shown such reluctance to per-
form an act of justice, and such an extraordinary anxiety
to fiaJw tic bad 'example of Mr. SPRING RICE.

rTIPE 0:: RNA:TEI:B VOYAGE TO THE SCILLY
Isc*..--iii.releycnee to this sutject, Sr! Charles liipio-
oh.,erve.l night in the Counnons, that be could not
co: eeive h'ow the -111661, of Exeter coula possibly have
sp nt ninety-six pounds on his lute visitation voyage to
the Scilly Isle, ;or that the '• table allowance in such
cie,eS on. butwil a vessel, was thirty shillings., or two
po, raids. r., day.' It is evident fro.o this remark that the
(„iallant Com11010m: never had u BishoP for his passen-
ger. Ninety-six pounds are soon swallowed up, when
11 Protestant Prelate and :Lis stag, with thew appe-
tites all in the finest- condition, happen to be
on hoard a vessel. In the first place, the Bishop
hinigolizuust " fare sumptuously every day," as becomes
hip l:it;ir. and sacred..ealling ; and sceoidly, his staff also
mist ha Te.thelecreatiire ecinforts consulted, for to nvg-

bet the interests of the Tail, is to cast slight and dis-
honour on the Chief. True, St. Paul contrived to sail
from Alexandria to Malta without a staff; and cared little
for personal accommodation during the voyage ; but then
a Phillpots is not a St. Paul, and cannot be expected
to submit to the same privations. Our principal ob-
jection, however, to the payment of this ninety-six pounds,
arises from an apprehension that it may be the means of
setting other Bishops voyaging; and that London finding
all, the expenses of Exeter's trip to Ihe Scilly Islands
defrayed by Government. may take it into his head that
the inhabitants of Eel-pie Island, near Richmond, or of
the Isle of Dogs at Blackwell, stand in need of his spiri-
tual admonitions; visit them accordingly, at the head
of a hungry clerical staff ; and send in the Bill to Par-
liament

The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid
Bourse on the 21st inst. at 21i for time, and the Fives
at 29+ if at 60 days.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)
IPSWICH.

The Committee assemblsd again at Eleven o'Clock this
morning, P. M. Stewart, Esq., in the chair.
Mr. KINGLAKE rose to address the Committee. He com-
menced by again declaring that every imputation which had
been cast on the sitting Members had been entirely cleared up,
as far as those Hon. Members were personally concerned. But
he stillmaintained that the acts of the persons who were acting
for the sitting Members at the last election had not been met
with anything like a tangible defence. Had his Learned Friend got
over the case of T. Bowman, who was called by his Learned Friend
"a worthless fellow ?" Had it been disproved that Bowman had
not received 305., through the instrumentality of Mr. Bristoe,
on the ground that he was to play in the band ? Had it not
been proved that Bowman never played at all, and that an-
other man's name, and perhaps a fictitious one, was introduced
into the list of the names of the persons constituting the band?
This fact had not been got over. His Learned Friend had
said that he (Mr. Kinglake) bad blended bribery and
treating together. Ile had done no such thing. What
he had said was, that bribery might be shel-
tered under different aspects, such as travelling ex-
penses. His expression was that a fortiori if those travelling
expenses were exorbitant, then they were indisputably bribery.
It travelling expenses were paid after the teste of the writ, un-
doubtedly they were illegal, and became an act of treating by
the statute of the 7th of William 111. If the agents of
candidates paid travelling expenses, they must take care
that they did not exceed travelling expenses,
_ or cer-
tainly it would be treating. In the case of Brombridge
and Campbell, it was held that if there had been paid a suns
more than the actual expenses, that that was good evidence in
regard to bribery. But there was no difference of opinion
whatever that travelling expenses of any kind, paid after the
teste of the writ would be either bribery or treating, as by the
statute of William 111. the payment of money for any purpose
whatever, after the teste of the writ, was illegal. Under what
pica could the payment of Harwich voters of 30s. each, he
justified? And yet it was said that Mr. Steward had paid no
exorbitant demand. 'I he demands paid to them were exor-
bitant. He (Mr. Kinglake) did not believe that Mr. Hunt
could have known of this expenditure at the time, or he never
would have allowed it.
It was here announced that the Speaker was at prayers, and
the Committee adjourned to obtain leave to sit again.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A well-dressed young man, named Whellan, was charged
with attempting to stab Nary Mitford, and with obstructing
Police-constable Webb, whilst in the execution of his duty.
This morning at two o'clock the constable beard cries of
murder from a house in West-street, and on reaching the place
found the prisoner with an open knife in his hand, which he
closed when he saw the constable. The female declared he
was going to murder her.
The prisoner refused to tell the Magistrate what or who he
was. First he said he was a mason and afterwards a elerk
from an Irish countiog. house.
Ur. GREENWOOD, however, tit termined on finding out the
by sending him to prison until competent bail could be
had for his future conduct.
