EAST RETTORD.

Mr. TENNISON said he did not wish to proceed
further in the discussion of the East Retford Disfran-
chisement Bill, until he knew to what decision the House
should come with respect to the Borough of Penryn.
He now, therefore, proposed that the further ;onside.
ration of the Report of the East Retford Disfranchise.
meet Bill should be postponed to Monday next.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN though; she rAi
course would be to give up the'llin eltottether-4Cries

for Hertford (Mr. N. Calvert)inipbt in fact be cond.

future occasion to show that it was founded us injustice.
Mr. N CALVERT said, the proposition which he
had submitted to the Hnuse came entirely from himself.'
The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Secretary Peel) had
flushing to do. with it.
.hlr. Secretary PEEL said, the proposition for which
be voted was moved and seconded by two Hon. Gen•
tlemen on the opposite side of the House, who were
not in tl.e habit of voting with him. The Hon. Member
for Hertford never made The slightest communication

House—(A 14414 He touted this All would not be
abandoned. He had oat pet itiade.up his mind with
respect to the manner in which the franchise was to be
disposed of. But when such a case of c nUption had
been made out, they would tning themselves into dis-
grace with the.country, and show themselves not pre.
paled to do justice, if they did not act upon it.
t further consideration of the Report was postponed to
Monday nest. •

PENEYIf roISPRANCHISEMENT BILL.
Laid J. RUSSELL moved that the Remo Disfra

Bit be recommitted.
Tha_restion was then put from the Chair, and afters few words
from sir. MA,INWO,
Mr. A fiILBERT contended, that though the
Boroughs, Mc. of Cornwall returned forty Membeis,
Coraish interests were not too fully represented ; and
that therefore, instead of transferring the franchise of
Penryn, he hoped it would be extended to the neigh-
bouring hundreds. ,
Sir J. YORKE rose (amidst much laughter) observ-
ing, that humble as he was, he was reluctant to trespass
on the Honourable Honse—(a laugh)—but after what
had fallen from the President of a Royal Body—(fur-I
therlaughter)--that Cornwall was not over represented, i
and that Nottinghamshire was--though he almost de-
spaired of rising with effect—(a laugh)—he could not
but rise to express some little astonishment at such a
declaration. He thought something was due to " The
March of Isstelluct," that the large towns which had no
direct voices in the Legislature, ought to have them;
sod that as there was a place which ought to be dis•
franchised. he could not sit still while be had the oppor-
tunity of declaring that Manchester, for instance, ought
to be repteseuted-r( Hear, bear, hear). He trusted that
the Right Mamma* Secretary would fortify himself,
and not be afraid to Musk this moderate Reform in the
face— (Cheers).
Mr. C. PALLMER said. thatle was not prepared to
say that corruption was more venal in Cornwall than
in Nottinghamshire, but as there could not be corruption
without corruptors, till the House should be ready to
attack. the corruptors, he should resist the Bill in its pre-
sent form. He moved, as an amendment, that it be an
instruction to the Committee to make provisions for ex-
tending the franchise to the neighbouring Hundred
of Penryn.
Sir C. BURNEL supported the amendment.
Mr. G. BANKEB spoke against the Bill, considering
Mat Pengtn was to be more severely punished than
model otherwise be the case, in consequence of the de-
- 4 East Retford. He was sorry that the two

Majority for the original motion . 179
resolved keel! into the Committee on the clause tis6l

each candidate should deposit 300!. previous to the election, which
should be returned to those candidates who were returned.

Colonel DAVIES obi;Ttedtrstbeclau sae, and thought
the deposit ought to be returned to the unsuccessful
Candidates.
Lord JOON RbSSELVMid, the object of the clause
was to provide for the necessary expenses incurred by
the Returning Officer, and to prevent persons offering
themselves as Candidates merely for the purpose of
creating confusion.
Mr. PEEL said, the best method of attaining the
Noble Lord'►object would be, that each Candidate should
ester into a bond to bear his equal proportion of the ex-
pense of the election.
Mr. WYNN said, if °such a regulation was thought
necessary, it should be made general by a Bill appli-
cable to all elections.—The clause was agreed to.
On the clause that a person demanding to poll a second time,
should be disqualified from voting for ever, and the vote be bad
given be null and void,
Mr. PEEL objected to the clause, which he thought
might be used against an innocent candidate by persons
who had voted for him being influenced to demand to
poll again, and thus deprive the candidate of the vote'
he had given.—The clause was withdrawn.
On the clause that each elector should have power to put the oaths
allowed by the Act to be taken to each elector demanding to poll,
Mr. HUSKISSON said, such a clause might render
the Bill wholly inoperative. It would put it in the
power of any elector to prevent an election taking place.
He thought the Bill should be withdrawn, for the pur-
pose of being better digested. If it was a piece of Man
chester stuff, it certainly did no great credit to the
manufacturers.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he wished to have the
clauses read, that he might be aware of the objections
made to them.
The clause was negatived.
Mr. GEORlik; LAMB thought a short Bill would
answer the purpose better than the present. He though,
all the particular machinery ought to be struck out of
the Bill, and the election made subject to the presen,
election laws—(Hear, hear.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, after the objection,
made to the Bill in its present fotm, he should not press
it further on the Committee, but would consent to with.
draw it, for the purpose of making it more conformable
to the wishes of the House.

The House resumed. The Report was brought up, and ordered
to be taken into consideration on Thursday nest.

TWIT ACTS ITTIAL SILL.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved the Order of the Day for
further consideration of the Report of the Corporation and Test
Acts Repeal Bill. The Report was consequently re-consldered.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving the House do go into
Committee again on this important Bill, found it neces-
sary to say a few words. When it was last under dis-
cussion, a Right Hon„.Gent.che Secretary of State, pro-
posed a declaration likely to satisfy all parties, and
prevent collision of hostile feeling, which it was most
desirable to avoid. With respect to that declaration, it
was impossible for the Noble Lord to agree to it at once,
,when the interest of so large a body of the people
was intrusted to him. It did, however, appear to him
at the time, that the proposition of the Right Hon.
CikentLeman, did not present any thing to which he had
an insupeiable objection. On due consideration of the
declaration which the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed,
,he did not find it imposed any restraint on the reli-
"gious scruples of individuals; but merely restrained
them from exercising it fluence acquired by their offices
to the injury of the Established Church. The Noble
Lord felt ,t.tat. it would have been extremely wrong
,in him to object to the proposition. He was willing
to admit it into the Bill as the means of paclying the
community. It was due to the Right Hon. Steretary
of State to admit, that as far as he had seen his con-
duct on the Bill, the Right Hon. Gentleman had ap-
peared anxious to bring the question to a point, at
which no conscientious scruples would be hurt, and
the Established Church remain uninjured. The Noble
Lord added, that he should offer no objection to the
declaration, but introduce it to the Dill as a clause.—
He concluded by moving the Bill be recommitted.
The question having been carried, the House went into Com-
mittee on the Bill.
Lord J. RUSSELL then introduced a clause with
the declaration, which was added to the Bill.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said, the only objection he had
heard with respect to his proposition had arisen upon
misunderstanding of his meaning. It was said he wished
to give the King the power of calling upon all officers
for the declaration : that was a mistake. Persons who
held offices under the King were obliged by law to take
the Sacramental Test, but it would be most absurd
to require every person who held a situation to make the
de'claration. The offices from which the declaration
would be removed must be set forth. The Right Hon.
Gentleman took the opportunity of repeating, that he
was satisfied with the security required ; and all he had
heard since he proposed it confirmed the hope that this
Session would not close without seeing the suggestion
he had made carried into effect.

Lord NUG EN f supported the declaration. He thought
,the Right Hon. Gentleman entitled to the thanks of the
country for his proposition, and his Noble Friend was
equally entitled to public thanks for accepting it. The
Noble Lnrd was apprehensive that the oath of a Pt ivy
Court l-,r would not admit ofhis malting the declaration.
The House then resumed ; and the Report having been received,
was ordered to betaken into further consideration on Thursday next.
PAIIIIINOSIM. SIMULATION TILL
Mr. Secretary HUSKISSON moved the further consideration
of the Report of the Passengers Regulation Bill.
Mr. HUME wished to defer the discussion on account of the
lateness of the hour. The Hon. Member objected to that part of
the Hill which required vessels carrying passengers to have
two decks.
Mr. Secretary TIOSKISSON could not consent to delay the
Bill, and moved it be recommitted.
The Holm accordingly went into Committee.
Mr. HUSK ISSON stated, that nothing was so necessary on
board the passage vessels as a deck or platform, for the passengers
to stand upon, whilst they bad a deck over their heads. This plat-
forms was what the Bill required under the name of a deck.
Sir C. COLE said, he had authority to state, that a vessel bound
to North America had nothing but salt fur the passengers to rest on,
and when they landed, they were all dreadfully ill with dysentery.
Several verbal amendments were then agreed to.
The Report was brought up, and ordered to be taken into cond.
deration this day.
The Pauper Lunatics' Bill went through a Committee of the
whole House.—Several verbal amendments were agreed to. The
Report. was ordered to be brought up, and ordered to be read on
Thursday nest.
The ether Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at Ous o'Ctoct.

The Select Committee appointed to determine on the
merits of the late Dover election, on the Petition of Mr.
HALOOMB and others, have reported, that it appeared to
the Committee that the merits of the petition depended
upon the right of election, and that, therefore, the said
Committee required the Counsel for the parties to deliver
to the Clez k et the said Committee, statements in writing
of the right of election for which they respectively con-
tended ; that in consequence thereof, the Counsel for the
petitioners delivered in a statement as follows That
the right of election is vested in the Freemen and Free
Burgessls, inhabitants of Dover ;"—That the Cotmsel
for the sitting Member delivered in a statement as fol.-
i0w5;.....44 That the right of voting is in the Freemen
and Free Burgesses, inhabitants of Dover; and that

CONWAY, THE ACTOR.

The melancholy termination of this Gentleman's life
is already known. The following letter from Mr.
Buchanan, the British Consul at New York, contains
some interesting particulars :

British Consulate, New York, Feb.l2, WM
SIR-My official duty having placed before me the
papers of the late Mr. Conway, whose melancholy death
you so feelingly noticed in :your last number, the exa-
mination of which • brought to my view some truly
interesting incidents to which it is deeply to be
deplored so highly talented and cultivated a mind
should have been subject ; I feel so depressed with
the fate of this truly amiable and unfortunate man,
that to thing but an imperious sense of duty could
lead me to enter upon the task of adverting
to his death : for although it is alone my peculiar pro-
vince to watch over British-Commercial interests, and
to afford protection to the living subjects of our gra-
cious Sovereign, I feel, upon this occasion, an irre.
sistible desire to afford protection to the memory of a
British subject now no more—even if that memory, by
reason of the unreeling and unreflecting disposition of
the world, may be branded with infamy. Far be it
erom me to advocate suicide—far be it from me to
say, that under the most distressing circumstances,
any other refuge should be sought after than resig-
nation to the Divine will, and to that m,ercy which the
&move of men so freely holds forth to all who come
unto him, and especially to the weary and heavy laden.
In the performance of what I feel my deity, namely, to
remove the aspersions which so awful a termination of
life calls forth, I deem it proper to add, that with Mr.
Conway I was wholly unacquainted, not even knowing
him personally, which I regret, from the discovery I
have made of his character, to exhibit which, I beg
leave to give a few extracts from his papers, as they
ate eminently calculated to produce sympathy and re-
gret to those who knew him not, and may afford some
consolation to his friends.
That Mr. Conway had been a prey to melancholy,
previous to his leaving England, I gather from his let-
ters—a melancholy the fruit of persecution and disap-
pointment,too deeply seated in his soul to be removed by
coming to the United States—and which ultimately
broke down his mind.and drove him from his profession,
wherein he was labouring to secure a provision for an
unprovided mother—a profession, too, in which it was
proved he would have been successful, as it appears by
his banker's account he had saved a handsome sum at
the close of his theatrical career in this city. I cannot,
I am persuaded, render a more acceptable service to his
memory than by transcribing what he says on the sub-
ject to his mother, which I have extracted from a
duplicate of a letter, dated 7th December last, and
forwarded to England but a few seeks before the
catastrophe:
is You mention, dearest Mother, tour having heard
that I act seldom, and am preparing myself for holy
orders; in confirmation partly of which I will inform
you, that events beyond my controul having entirely
separated me from my profession, I am applying myself
with assiduity to books of Divinity, in.order to ascertain
how far I may reasonably calculate upon success, should
I seriously embark in the undertaking. The study is
profound, extensive, and in a great degree new to me;
but I bring an unlimited devotion to the task, and that
is a Main step towards achievement in every pursuit.—
But should all my endeavours prove ineffectual, the
paths of commerce are open to me, and perhaps employ.
aunt in a•particulai branch of academical instruction.
—Of business I caonot be supposed to know much,
but it is not very difficult of acquirement ; and obser-
vation has shown me, that good sense, combined with
principle and industry, rarely fails of some share of suc-
cess, in a land of commercial enterprise. The agreeable
prospect to which I so long and eagerly directed my
attention, of being able, by my labour and economy, to
secure a comfortable retirement in this country, to where
I might one day invite you, is, by the change, utterly an-
nihilated ; for, succeed as I may in my new pursuit, I
cannot hope to be able to accomplish this, at least for
a great length of time. Abandon, therefore, dear
Mother, I beseech you, 'the. intention communicated in
your letter of crossing the Atlantic. What wise or be-
neficial purpose could it possibly answer? We might see
each other, it is true, but under circumstances so disad-
vantageous, that it were better we never met again. I
am provided with no means for your reception ; I am
without a home to invite Too to, friends to make you
acquainted with, or a single resource of comfort or
amusement to present for your acceptance. Reflect

my fervent petition, and- give you health, tranquillity,

'concludes, "I have more to say, but my paper compels
me to, reserve it to a future opportunity. Alas! I
speak of the future as we are only authorized to do
of the present. I have feelings and foreboding',
but I confine them to my own bosom. Let us, in

I felt it MY duty to see the Captain of the Cherleston
picket, in which he took shipping from this 'lt, who
has manifested a very honout able' and humane 'Merest

Very usually reading in his 'prayei book; and at other.
times much engaged in eluting. 'Upon the morning
of 'the 24th of January, the Captain mentioned to
the passengers, that if the wind held they would see.
Charleston by twelve o'clock; upon which Mr. Con-
way requested Captain Besher to info rm him when
they came near the Bar. At twelve each day the pas.
Singers generally lunch, and on that day Mr. 'Conway
partook of a biscuit, a piece of cheese, find a little spirits
and water; he then went on deck, when the Captain,
iccording to his promise, informed him they were near
the bar. The Captain and passengers having gone down -
to dinner, and observing that Mr. Conway was not at
the table, the steward was sent on deck to call him ;
epos which he replied to the steward, " that he had
taken what was sufficient for all he ever would require."l
The steward had but just returned, without particularly
regarding the reply, when all were roused by the era_
on deck, " a man overboard." At the time the: ship'
was under a press of sail ; and although every . effort
was made, yet the Captain was aware all would be, as
it proved, unavailing.
It is material to observe, that Mr. Conway bad his
valuable gold watch, his pocket-book, and all his cash
ion his person, when he rushed overboard; fortunately
he had net his prayer book, as he usually had, in his
hand, in which was found a bill of his banker's in New
York, which he endorsed payable to his mother. It
appears Vso, from his accounts, he not long since re-
mitted her 1001. sterling.
Being anxious to ascertain what he had been writing
during the passage, 1 examined his books and papers
I very carefully, but could only discover several
loose sheets of paper, which 1 found in a volume
Cot Clarke's Commentary on the Bible. These sheets
late folded into three columns; on one is written
the text in Greek, on the second Latin, the third in the
authorised English version, all done with great care—
indeed I should add, beautiful precision. As no genetal
observation can convey so collect a view of the man, or
do more justice to his memory, than to give his very
actions, a friend of mine advised me to furnish a leer .
extracts from these sheets. In one of these is set
forth in Greek, Latin, and English, the sth chat.ter
of Matthew ; another written in like manner, is horn
the 19th to the 20th verse of the 16th chapter, and
horn the 41st to the 46th verses of the 22d chapter
of Matthew inclusive—in a note at the bottom. of
the last sheet are the following words:—"" For the con-
'sid'eration of those who maintain that our blessed Si-
mms did not call himself the Sole of Goo." Hehas also
left various extracted passages from Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John, on the same subject—" which exami-
nation," be adds, " was suggested by a recent conver-
sation upon the subject." I found, also, a Commentary
of his own on the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22d verses of-
the 21st chapter of John, in which he, with great clear-
ness, refutes the opinions of several able commentators,
and manifests a mind of no ordinary cast and intensity
of thought. These extracts I deem sufficient to show
the bent of his mind. I should add, that he his uni-
-fotmly and regularly attended the Episcopal Church
while in New York—that at the Hotel where he resided
he excited the deepest interest, by his unassuming,
retiring disposition, never drinking even a glass of wine
after dinner taking a solitary walk, and invariably
returning to his studies. How deplorable it is to know
that so amiable, I would add, so valuable a man,
should be the subject of scandalous insinuations as to
his course of life in this city ; how truly is that man an
object of pity, if not of detestation. who can lightly
speak evil of the bowed down and afflicted. I feel that
I have stated sufficient to rescue the character of Mr.
Conway from the aspersions unfeelingly cast upon him.
And if I have stated more, though interesting to some,
I should become his biographer rather than the protec-
tor of his memory.
From what has been stated, with a variety of facts I
have glanced at, it is evident that his mind occasionally
pee way under a deep-seated melancholy, which he
brought with him from England; this state of mind
stood in the way of his popularity; and I have heard,
that a few in this city have made it a point to sneer at
his performances ; a mind so weakened by previous
t
sufferings as his could not brook it, and to that I think

which had entirely separated him from the stage.
In his religious exercises he met with little encou-
ragement. His very devotions subjected him to 0/)...
servation, which a diseased mind felt, alas! but
too keenly. Thus broken in heart, and in prospects,
are we at any loss to account for. the awful terilltiall-
tion of his life, and that at a moment, when labouring
ender a paroxysm and alienation of mind, he should
cast himself into the sea?* Does the history of self-
destruction afford nimlitery instance of onedeason-
ing as he did on the attributes of GOD, and the 'mercy
which is in the SAVIOUR, seeking death, as a refuge,
by his own hand? I base found some of his thoughts on
duelling, in consequence of a recent event in this ,
city ; the view he takes of that accursed practice, to
gether with the joy with which he adverts to the ad-
