HOUSE OF COiMMONS. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. Friday, May 26 Lord John Bussell, after explaining that it was the practice, in many corrupt boroughs, for the agents of the candidates to give sums of money the different voters after the expiration of the fourteen days during which petitions might be presented to the House complaining of undue elections, by.

which expedient parties were enabled to practise the most gross bribery with impunity, moved two resolutions, for the purpose of defeating this tontrivanee? by which the House pledged iteelf, in a certain form therein described, to take into consideration petitions complaining of bribery, if presented withm months from the date of the alleged offence, and to deal with them as with election petitions, including the power to void corrupt elections. Mr. Wynn opposed the motion on the ground that the present law was competent to punish bribery. Mr. Feel was not unfriendly to the principle of the resolutions, but hethoughtthemouon precipitate.

Mr.Braughapi thought the opinion of the House, in favour ot the resolutions, would be productive of great practical benefit at the en-'Suing elections, the corrupt machinery for which was now forging. Mr. Hume warmly supported the resolutions. The latter remarked, that he had received a letter from an elector in a certain place, intimating that tbey were prepared to receive any person who would pay 3,000: that the.practice had been to pay each of the electors A5 and that the remaining A'560 was for expenses Mr-Hudson Gurney asked was there a member who did not believe that every person who held a seat in that House must pay for it (Loud cries 6 No, He did not believe that persons were returned by bribery but that, either in meal or malt fa laugh tbey accommodated themselves more or less to the general practice This remark called up several members, who strongly repelled the insinuation. Amongst them General Gaecoyne said, that he had the honour of being returned six times to Parliament for the town of Liverpool, and he solemnly declared, that, upon no occasion, had he even been called upon to pay, directly or indirectly, a single shilling for his seat.

He thought that declaration due to the people of Liverpool, at the same time lie felt bound to give his support to the resolutions of the Noble Lord. On a division there appeared for the resolutions 62, against them 2. The Speaker, as is customary, gave his casting vote against ministers, and the resolutions were carried. Lord John Russell then moved a second resolution, declaring the manner in which the committee of inquiry should be appointed, which was agreed to withpuf any oposition. BCOTCH CUHRESCY.

In a debate which ensued on the bringing up of the report on this question, (and which recommends no immediate alteration in the currency of Scotland,) Mr. Aber-crovnbie strongly advocated the application of the same principles, to regulate the banking system of Scotland, as those agreed on with regard to England. He observed that the solidity of the Scotch banks, in consequence ot the great number of partners in them, was a reason why, above all others, they ought to be put under restraint as to the issue of their notes. By dividing the responsibility among so many individuals, the temptation to over-issue was greatly increased After some conversation on tins topic, the House adjourned to Wednesday. manufacturers, twenty tnousanu whole a circulation of three hundred and twelve millions the nrofits on which would be nearly eight times as much as the profits on the whole ot our export crane.

Tbe Committee will now advert to a consideration of first importance, namely, the probable revenue to be d(rw from the traffic on the whole line; and to enable every to form his judgment of the estimate submitted, a ftw (j planatory observations will be necessary.

LIVEBPOOt A2TTJ MANCHESTER RAILWAY. A meeting of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company was held on Monday in the public sale room, in the Exchange.buildings.in this town, being the first general meeting held under the Act obtained in the present session of Parliament. Charles Lawrence, Esq. was called to the chair who made a short report of the proceedings of the Committee appointed to solicit the bill, and of the expenses incurred in the two applications to Parliament, by which it appeared that the sum of 33,000 had been expended, occasioned mainly by the persevering opposition of the canal interest, and observed that the expense was nearly equal, or and a fraction, for each session. The Chairman then detailed the objects of the meeting, which were to elect a treasurer, la v-clerk, and directors, with such salaries as the meeting should think proper; and he suggested that they should first proceed to fix a salary for the treasurer, and then appint a competent person to the office.

A tonnage upon these articles the extent of one-third the present quantity of coal constat in the two towns, would produce a revenue of about faux, per annual.

Besides the above sources of revenue, there is onewhle the Committee have the fullest assurance will prove lucraBt in a high degree, namely, the tells on passengers.

Besides these, there are the packet-boats Manchester on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the itm. jackets ov the River Mersey, communicating with the ami packets at Runcorn, and so on, to Manchester, which conve) ances in the summer season carry many hundred passenjet a day between the two towns.

The official accounts of the attack are contained in the Calcutta Gover nment Gazette of January 2j).

So corrupt and partial was the manner in which elections were now conducted, so pregnant were tbey with perjury and evetymischievcus principle, that it would be better they should be wholly sup. pressed. Amid such corruption and filth, it was quite impossible that liberty could flourish and his only hope amid the darkness was to be found in the cheering fact, that the principle which appeared innate in the bosoms oj Englishmen, that reared itself against corruption and oppression of every kind, seemed unsubduable and immortal and that as there was iio defalcation of public principle, no want or relaxBtion'jif energy, that sooner or later they would obtain the object of their toil.
