that, as far as regarded the police, they had acted very pro-
perly. But with respect to there being three magistrates on
the hustings, he had not the slightest information, but would
take the earliest opportunity of obtaining it.
On the motion for the third reading of the Jews Bill, •
The Bishop of LLANDAYF opposed the bill, and moved
that it be read a third time that day three months.

Lord LyrrLEToN opposed the measure, as he was of
opinion that the Jews merely desired the passing of this
measure as a stepping-stone to their own future purposes.
The Earl of WINCIIELSEA said, that if this measure was
conceded, they would be giving away the brightest gem
which this Christian country possessed, and they would, at
the same time, be destroying the Christian character of the
legislature. He should therefore support the motion of the
right reverend prelate opposite.
The Earl of WICKLOW said, that, if the measure before
the house was well considered, they would find that the Jews
would not receive any greater benefit by admission into par-
liament than they at present enjoyed. He should therefore
vote for the third reading.

The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S advocated the adoption of the
bill.

not distinguish any analogy between Jews and Christians.
After some further conversation, the gallery was cleared
for a division, when the Bishop of Llandaff's motion was car-
ried by a majority of 34. Ayes 98 ; noes, 64.
Loy d BEOUGHAM moved the second reading of the punish-
ment of death bill, and entered into a statistical detail of the
decrease of crime in those cases where the punishment of
death had been abandoned. The bill was then read a second
time, and ordered to be committed on Monday.
The honee then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAT

Sir R. PEEL obtained leave to bring in a bill to embody an
enactment adopting the amendment of the chairman of the
contested elections bill. The right hon. hart. stated the rea-
son he brought forward this motion was merely to get the
bill printed, in order to give an opportunity to hon. members
to consider the subject before the next session.
Mr. WARD moved that instructions be given to the Attor-
ney-General to prosecute the Hon. Mr. Manners Sutton, and
his agents Long and Swan, for bribery, alleged to have been
committed at the last Cambridge election.
Sir CHARLES LEMON, as chairman of the Cambridge com-
mittee, said, that although be felt convinced that bribery had
taken place, yet from the evidence it could not be brought
home to Mr. Sutton. As to Mr. Long, one of the agents, he
had no doubt that if a prosecution had been instituted he
would have been convicted.

The Earl of DARLINGTON also defended Mr. Manners
Sutton from the charge of bribery, aud, therefore, should
vote against the motion as far as regarded that gentleman,
but would vote for prosecuting the agents.
Mr. WARD then withdrew that part of his motion regarding
Mr. Manners Sutton, and, after considerable discussion, it
was decided, by a'majority of 78 against 46, that proceedings
should be instituted against one of the agents.
Mr. HUME, in the absence of Mr. Easthope, withdrew the
bill for the abolition of church-rates.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned.
