been proved, and therefore be should support him, I
by adopting the most lenient Resolution.
Mr. C. W. WYNNE agreed with Mr. Tierney,
that there was a virtual Understanding between the
parties.—The Gallery was then cleared, when the
House divided :—For the Amendment, 162—Against
it, 78—Malerity in favour of Mr. Quin, 89.
The original Resolutions were then put and nega-
tived, the numbers being:—For Sir Robert Wilson's
Resolutions, 81—Against them, 154--Majority, 73.

115. GOOLD.

After the Resolutions were dissed of—
Mr. LAMBTON moved, " That Thomas Goold be coin-
' miked to the custody of the Serjeant at Atms, for gross prevari-
cation at the bar of thst House, while examined as a witness."
Mr. PLUNKMI'T observed, that the Honourable Gentle-
man, by his motion, had plunged a dagger into the heart of Mr.
Goold--that he hadindieted a wound on his character, which ,
no decision of that House could heaL
Mr. LAMBTON rose, considerably agitated. He said, that
a dagger had been plunged in the heart of Mr. Carew Smyth,
whose testimony Mr. Geoid and Mr. Quin had suffered to be
impugned until he was relieved two days. after, when witnesses
were ordered to be brought from Irelnad—then indeed the cor-
rectness of Afr. Smyth's testimony was admitted, when it was
known that cadence would certainly be adduced of the-false-
hood of those who confronted him.—(./forr, hear.) This opinion
was not hastily formed ; he had considered the question deeply,
and, in his conscience, he thought thatiMr. Gook' had.gressly
prevaricated.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY contended that Mr. Goold might
have given false evidence, but had not prevaricated.
Mr. BROUGHAM could not support the motion. ' Some
years ago, certain persons were committed. fat prevarication,
but tint preiratleation was most plain and 'otkirlous! The per.
sons accused trifled deliberately with the Howe. No such thing
appeared in this Instance. Gentlemen made up their minds by
comparing the evidenceof Mr. Smyth with that of Mr. GooW,
and they formed their conclusion of the integrity of the one
party and of the guilt of she other by that examination.' This,
he would undertake to say, was a course of proceeding which
the House had never tolerated. They 'never thought, by com-
parisons of this kind, to acquit one set of witnesses, and. con.
demo another.
Mr. PLUNKETT declafed, that, in what he had previously
said, he had no idea of giving offence to the Gentlentin who

proposed the' mottos. - -
Mr. ABERCROMBY said, as his Honourable Friend had
stated his inteution of dividing the House on his motion, it was
necessary for him to declare why he mist oppose it. The fact
was, that if any!offence were committed by Mr. Goad, it was'
not that of prevarication. The question was, whether he had
stated that which he linew net to be true ? He was free to con-
feu that a more doubtful question could surely be put to the
mind of any person ; but he would ask, whether any Gentleman,
having gone through the whole of the evidence, was prepared to
say, that he felt, in his own mind, a steady, clear, and honest
conviction, that Mr. Gould had stated what he knew to be
true ?—(llear, hear.)
Mr. CROKER bore testimony to the excellent character of
Mr. Gould, a gentleman whom he had known for a peat many
years. He trusted the House would come to an immediate de-
cision on this question, for he thought that no acquittal, however
unanimous, however splendid, would compensate Mr. Goold
for having this dreadful scourge hung over his head for a single
day longer.
Lord NCGENT said, he felt great pain, after the high cha-
racter that had been given to Mr. Coold by many Honourable
Gentlemen, and more especially by his Right Ilan. Friend near
him (Mr. Plunkett), who.was perhaps the best authority iri the
House, in stating that he felt it necessary to support the Motion
of his Honourable Friend. " May GOD forgive me (said the
Noble Lord) if I am wrong! My own conscience, I know,: ac-
quits me ; but I certainly feel that Mr. Gould came forward, at
the bar of this House, and delivered that which appears to me
to be a matured and deliberate mistatement. Niue is a pllnful
task—but I would nut be performing my duty to my country
and to this House, if I did not clearly state what my firm con-
viction is.".—The House then divided, when there appeared--

The House of Commons was occupied till four
o'clock this morning in discussing the charges of
misconduct alleged against Mr. WYNDHAM QUIN.
Himself opened the discussion, by a defence, and
then withdrew. Sir Rosettr Witsox, after a com-
ment on the evidence, moved several Resolutions,
leading to a declaration that Mr. Qum had violated
the purity of Election, the privileges of Parliament,
and the duties of CUSIOS Rotulorum. Mr. BOOTLE
WILBRAHAM moved Counter-resolutions, calculated
to negative every thing ciminative in those moved
by Sir Ronutt WrtsoN; and several Members spoke
at great length for and, against the respective Reso-
lutions. A division took place, first, on Mr. WIL•
BEAHAM'S Amendment, conveying a slight censure
upon Mr. Qorgatived, 16/ against 73. Then
•
It:wowed a division en Sir Roazar Wn.aoo's Reso-
lutions of censure, which were also negatived, 154
against 81. Mr. Lamorox then moved to have Mr.
GooLn taken into custody for prevarication in his
evidence, which, after some debate, was negatived
by a great majority-134 against 8.

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday arrived
last night. The ilebate en the new project of the
Minister of Finance for opening auxiliary Books for
the transfer of Stock in the principal towns through-
lout the kiigdoin, was concluded on Friday, what its
adoption was put to the vote, and carried by a ma-
jority of 124 to 120. ••

M. Lunn, on the same day, developed in Secret
Committee, the grounds of his proposition respecting
the Reserve Fund of the Bank of France. Its object
is to obtain a Law for the division of this Fund,
amounting to between 17 and 18,000,000, among
the Shaoffiolders. The Chamber remitted it to the
consideration of the Bureius.
