FRIDAY, JrLY 14,

THE DIEIGO EMIGRANT SHIP.—In answer to a ques-
tion whether the government would pass a bill this session
to enable Her Majesty, by an order in council, to stop
emigration from any port where cholera or any other
epidemic might prevail during the time of its prevalence,
Mr. F. PEEL said he regretted the outbreak of cholera on
board the Dirigo, and was happy to learn from the most
recent accounts that the progress of the cholera had been
arrested. It would be impossible to stop emigration
altogether from such a port as Liverpool because a case of
epidemic cholera had broken out in a vessel that had left
that port. A port of embarkation might be uninfected,
and yet cases of cholera might break out on board vessels
sailing from it, like the Dirigo, having on board persons
coming from different parts of the country, who might
bring the disease with them. The remedy would be, if
the Queen had the power, to make regulations and restric-
tions with regard to an increase in the space allowed to
and the improvement of the medical atten-

far advanced to permit the introduction of an act on this
subject.

REIBERY dT ELECTIONS.—The house, in committee,
resumed the consideration of the Bribery, &c., Bill, begin-
ning at the 17th clause, which prescribes the mode in
which the election officer, to be called " Auditor of Elec-
tion Expenses," shall be appointed ; upon which two
questions arose—first, by whom that officer should be ap-
pointed, whether by the returning-officer upon the recom-
mendation of the candidates, as in the clause ; or the
revising barristers, the judges of assize, or the high-
sheriff; secondly, when he should be appointed—whether
before the nomination of the candidates (as proposed by
the bill), or afterwards, as suggested by Sir J. Shelley.—
After these questions had been under discussion for five
hours, the committee agreed to an amendment, moved by
Lord J. RUSSELL, that the returning officer should, of his
own authority, once in every year, appoint a fit and proper
person to act as election officer. The clause, thus amended
(which was the first of a series containing a machinery
adopted from Sir F. Kelly's bill), was carried, t

were struck out. After this clause had been carried on a
division, the &airman reported progress.

Newton races will be held this day (Tuesday) and to-
morrow (Wednesday). There will be five races on each
day, and the entries to the various stakes promise a good
amount of sport. The London and North-western Rail-
way Company will run a first and second-class train along
their branch line adjoining the course, thus affording easy
access to the patrons of this popular meeting.
