FRIDAY, JUNE 30,

Petitions were presented Against the Mortmain Bill,
and principally against the 13th clause of it, by Mr.
GREENS, from Lancaster; against the Police Bill, by Mr.
TOLLEMICHE, from the corporation and inhabitants of
the borough of Congleton; and by Mr. HINDLSY, from
the mayor and corporation of Ashton-under-Lyne ; in
favour of closing public-houses and beershops on Sunday,
by Mr. MOSTYN, from Tryddin, in the county of Flint ;
and by Mr. TTIOBNELY, from members of the Liverpool
Architectural and Archmological Society, praying for a
system sof decimal coinage, weights, and measures. _

THE BISHOP or Ni-Ni Zrii.Ain.—On the order for
going into Committee of Supply, Sir J. PAKINGTON called
attention to the circumstances under which the allowance

(£600) heretofore voted for the Bishop of New Zealand
had been reraoved from the estimates. This change had
been made, he said, without any intimation to the colonial
authorities, and without the courtesy of a notice to the
bishop himself.—Sir G. GREY, having disclaimed, on the
part of the Government, in the course they had thought it
their duty to take, any disrespect towards the Bishop of
New Zealand, explained the circumstances which had
led to the withdrawal of the vote, in consequence of a
suggestion in a despatch from the Governor of New Zea-
land, that the financial condition of the colony enabled it

to defray the expense of its own civile;61;11;1;;ni:
Much of the misapprehension upon this subject, he added,
had arisen from the governor and the bishop having left
the colony last year.

gentlemen, to which the history of my various
has peculiarly, and, I will even say, has
exposed me, and that is, how little a man gains,

Or rather, indeed, how much he loses, in the happiness of
natural and healthful enjoyment, by passing from a .nar-
rower to a wider, and what some•-may call a more elevated
sphere. There is not room in the heart of man for more
than a certain number of objects, and he is, therefore,
placed far more favourably for the development of all that
pleasnre which lies in the kind and friendly affections of
our nature, when the intimacy of his regards is permitted
to rest on a few, than when, bustled through an intermin-
able variety of persons and things, each individual can have
bat a slender hold upon the memory, and a hold as-slender
upon the emotions.—Dr. Chalmers.

ALLEGED CORRUPTION OF IRISH MEMBERS.—The re-
port of the committee of the House of Commons, appointed
to' inquire into the charges of corruption preferred against
the Irish members, has at length been made public. It is
gives a sketch of the .different
tion

somewhat len gtl

ins protracted invesus- Commencing
with the two particular charges of place-selling made by
Dr. Gray and Mr. Kelly—which, it will be recollected,
caused the appointment of the committee—they-state, as
regards the charge made by Mr. Kelly, to the effect that
Mr. Somers, late M.P. for Sligo, had obtained for Mr.
Howley a stipendiary magistracy for £l,OOO, " that Mr.
Kelly had failed in substantiating the charge." Respect-
ing:.the other charge, made .by Dr. Gray, a negotiation
having been entered upon by. lir. Somers and Mr. Fair,
to procure for the latter a paid poor-law guardianship for
.£3OO, the committee states that Fair made the statement
to Dr. Gray, but that "it is Impossible to say 'from his
evidence how far he was justified in drawing the inference
he did." The general charges of corruption implied in
speeches of the Solicitor-General for Ireland and Mr. G.
H. Moue, in 1852, the committee do not think were sus-
tained by the evidence of those,hon. gentlemen. Respect-
ing the charges of corruption made. by Dr. Gray anti Mr.
Lucas, the committee names the witnesses examined, and
who, those gentlemen said, were likely to afford informa-
tion upon the subject; but the result is that, as regards
Dr. Gray, the examination of those witnesses has .sus-
tained the expectation of Dr. Gray ; and as regards the
cases instanced by Mr. Lucas, that he "has not substan-
tiated them in proof." The cases upon which, at the in-
stance of Mr. Lucas, Mr. Napier,_ Mr. Moore, Mr. Macnrt-
nev, and Mr. Bright, were examined, "have been examined
into and found groundless." With reference to the charge
made against the Solicitor-General for Ireland, the com-
mittee has given it the fullest investigation, and pro-
nounced it to be "false and unfounded." Against Mr.
Somers, the committee say no proof has been made to
implicate him in any improper or .corrupt transaction!'
The committee thus expresses its opinion in reference to
the subject generally—"lt appears to your committee that
the persons who have preferred, against a section of the
Irish members, the charges which have led to this in-
quiry, have failed to support them. Your committee hare
given every, tacility for this purpose, Anxl extended their
'lnquiries to a latitude which has not F‘nfrequently in-
-volved them in tilt reception of idle gossip, and the inves-
tigation of groundless calumnies. Youy,committee are of
opinion that those who give to the public these statements
ogght to have bean prepared to support .:them. With
reference to the parggraph in the Times, of the 6th Feb-
ruary last, the committee report their conviction that there
existed no foundationfor the charges as they were therein
preferred, and are of olinion that the language ...in which
they were clothed was unjustifiable and calumnious."

BETTING AT MA'NCHESTER.—FsIDAT

The Liverpool Cup and Goodwood Stakes have been the
chief events speculated upon this week. Any advance
upon 6 to 1 was readily taken about Hungerford for.the
Liverpool Cup ; Heapy met with a staunch opponent, who
laid a large sum against him at,fi to 1, and offered to go
on at the game price, but .an 'increasing disposition was
shown to back him for the Goodwood Stakes ; Tros and
Diana are also in force for the latter event. SOO to 400
was offered on Dervish against Wing Tom for the St.
Loger ; and offers :to lad £soo.even against the Days' and
Scott's lots for next year's Derby. Cosing prices :
