HELSTON ELECTION DILL.
LordGREN VlLLE,advaitinglto the lielstongeol
tion Bill, urged the propriety of adopting some mett7:,
sures to ensure the consideration of this Bill at a
sufficiently early period of the Session. Petitions
were. thee read from •Mr. Christopher Wallis,,, in fa-
vour of the Bill ; and from Mr. James Glover ant 4-
'oat Freemen of Helston, against it. His Lordship
suggested the.appointment of a Committee to kir&
for precedents. . .
The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the
precedents had been looked to in a late case, and
therefore a CoMmittee might obtain the required in-
formation in half an hour. lie suggested, therefore,
that a Committee might be now appointed to report
to-morrow, in which case orders might be issued for

Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice, that this day Ili*,

violation of an Act of Parliament—Adjourned.

The SPEAKER then snide thnt any Member who
had any course of proceeding to suggest, should offer
himself to the attention of the Rouse.

' Lord CASTLERKAGH laid, he Ras not aware
whether there was any authority in the precedents of
the House for the course which the Marshal had
taken, tier could he say whether the room in whick
they ware accustomed to assemble could beitelA to
possess those privileges, of which it was posseiewe
When the Speaker was in the Chair, the Mace on the
tables and the Commons met together accwrding to
their accustomed forms and usages. Ile did not con.
ceive that there was any thing in the apartment de-
dicated to protect Lord Cochrane from legal arrest,
and he should not, therefore, move for any enquiry,
' unless some Member should entertain a doubt on the
euhjeck in that case it would be certainly proper,
• from' the jealousy with which the House regarded all
, matters of privilege to institute some enquiry.' But
whatever doubts any Membermight entertain, no one
would conceive that the Officer in questiewhad acted
its contempt or disrespect of the privileges of the
House.—[/Isar, hear !]—lle would not have been
justified, as a public functionary, in allowing any op-
portunity to pass of reclaiming the prisoner who had
broken from his custody, and having promptly steted,
the case to the House, they might be convinced that
. it was only necessary that their privileges should be
known to be respected by him on a future occasion.
: Mr. ‘V YNN agreed with the Noble Lord (Lord
castlereagh) that the conduct of Mr. Jones was not
a breach of privilege. The first question was, whe-
-1 dter it was >< breach of the personal privilege of an
individual Member ? To answer this, it was evident
' that there was 'no privilege of the House to protect
i Member who had broken prison. The next
ques-
tion was, as to the particular place where he had
been arrested, viz. the place' in which they were
them assembled. Now, though to enter that House,
while the Commons were assembled, without a spe-
cial commission, eas the highest breach of privilege,
yet when they were not assembled there, it was not
to be considered in that light. For if at half-past
' three o'clock a Message had been brought from the
Crown, requiring them to assemble in any other
place, the Painted Chamber, . for instance, they
would have been baund to obey. The room in
which.they assembled, therefore, could be considered
only in the light of any other apartment of the
King's Palace,and they met in it only in consequence
of tho. writ directing them to assemble at Westmin.
stet.. The room was open during the time in which
the House was not assembled, any. stranger might
take refuge in it, yet he could not be said to be pri-
vilegeti against arrest for misdemeanor, and the case
of a stranger was exactly the same as that of the
Noble Lord who had been arrested. .With this view
' of the subject, he thought there was no breach Of
privilege on the part of Mr. Jones; butif any Mem.:
ber entertained such an opinion, it would be natural
to refer it to a Committee of Privileges, because any
! thing regarding those privileges had been deemed
worthy to be enquired into, even where grave dtitbts
; were not entertained.

APPREHENSION OF LORD COCIIRANE.

Yesterday, about- twelve minutes before two
o'clock, Lord Cochrane appeared in the lobby of
the House of Commons, and proceeded into the
House by the usual entrance, went op to the table,
and very deliberately examined the Order Book.—
This being about two hours before the usual assem-
bling of the House, his Lordship was the only Mem-
ber present. Having examined the Order Book, his
Lordship went into the Clerk of the Fees' Oißce, to
take the oaths, as the Member for )Vestminster,—
Mr. Dorrington, the Chief Clerk, stated, that the
certificate• of his Lordship's return had not yet
been communicated from ' the Crown-Office ; at
which his Lordship was very angry, and expressed
himself in strong terms of censure, A note, howr
ever, was instantly forwarded by his Lordship to
the Clerk of the. Crown-Olice, to • make the ne-
cessary return for his Lordship An Like the oaths,
and his Lordship Went into the House to wait for
an answer, taking his seat on the Treasury Bench 4
While*seated there, he very coolly pulled a bundle of
pepeis:out of his pocket, and proceeded to read
them as calmly as if lie Ind been in his town pH.

. Mr. TIIRNEY perfectly agreed that there was
not any impropriety in the Marshal's conduct ; but
he could not say that no doubts remained le his mind
whether tba.privileges of Parliament had been ♦io-
lated. A.Gentleman returned to serve in Parlia-
ment, had come to take his seat in that House, and
had been there arrested. That the individual in
chuesVm► had escaped from prison, he knew only; in
his private capacity. It had been said that there
was no Rouse before the Speaker took the Chair.
Now what time the Speaker took the Chair was.
