The Bribery Bill was read a third time, and, on the
question that it do pass,

The Marquis of CLANBICABDE moved the introduction

of an amendment to the effect, that

yelling expenses to voters be illegal.
Lord REDESDALE opposed the amendment

The Duke of NEWCASTLE was favourable to the amend-
ment, but did not think it would be expedient to adopt it
at'present. Whether the amendment was negatived or
not, he should move that the clause be omitted.
After a discussion, in which Lord CAMPBELL, the Earl
Of STA.NHOPE, Lord WYNFORD, and Lord BROUGHAM
engaged, the amendment was negatived.
The house divided on the question that the clause stand
out of the Bill. For the clause, 4; against it,. 30. • Ma-

jority against it, 26.
The clause consequently was strucl

Bill passed.
Other bills were advanced a stage, and the house ad
journed at half-past seven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY, AUG. 7

The House assembled at two o'clock.

After the transaction of private business, Mr. WALPOLE
presented a petition on the subject of education in Ireland,
and gave notice that early next session he should call
attention to the subject and move thereupon.
The Consolidated Fund Bill passed through committee.
On the motion for going into committee on the Encum-
bered Estates West Indies Bill,

Sir J. P.A.acINGTOx complained strongly of the conduct
of government with respect to the advances made to the
West India islands. What he claimed for them as a right
was that the amount of the advances made to the planters
should be reduced in proportion to the diminished value of
their property, caused, as he argued, by the legislature of
this country.

Mr. WILSON explained the course taken by the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, who would not be justified in
remitting a portion of the claim, because the value of the
property may have fallen. He had reason to believe that
the offers of government were deemed generally acceptable
to the bona fide holders of estates.

Mr. ELLts supported the views of Sir J. PAKINGTON

Sir G. GREY said that the decision of the question be-
tween the West India proprietors and the government now
rested with the Exchequer Loan Commissioners.
After some observations from Mr. T. HANKY and Mr
SCULLY, the House went into committee. After several
clauses had been discussed and agreed to, the house was
summoned to the House of Lords to hear the royal assent
given to various bills by the Commissioners.

The remaining clauses, after some discussion, we
agreed to, and the bill was reported.
The Legislative Council (Canada) Bill and the Customs
Bill went through committee.

The Public Health Bill was read a third time and passed
The Customs Tariff Consolidated Bill was read a second

time.
The Mayo County Advances Bill was read a third time
and passed.
