June 30.-Messrs. Bond, Clamp, and Cook, committed to Newgate on account of the Ipswich election, were brought up and discharged. The release of Mr. O'Malley was postponed until the evidence of the medical attendant of the prison be obtained. -Mr. Gisborne's motion, "That the Attorney-general be instructed to prosecute all the parties who appeared, from the evidence taken before the Ipswich election committee, to have been guilty of bribery," was agreed to.-Lord J. Russell, in reply to some observations of Sir R. l'eel, acknowledged the fair course the hon. Baronet and those who had acted with him had pursued relative to the Municipal Corporation Bill. The remainder of the business of the evening was principally taken up with the committee on this measure. Clauses 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, were put and carried, after several verbal amendments, agreed to without a division. In the 19th clause, which enacts that a council and a mayor shall be elected in every borough, but requires no qualification either for the mayor or the common councilmen, Sir Robert Peel moved a proviso to the effect that no person in those towns which were divided into wards, should be elected a member of the town council unless he was possessed, in real or personal property, or in both, of 1,000l., or was rated within the borough to the amount of 401. a year; and that no person in those towns which were not divided into wards, should be elected a member of the town council who was not possessed of 5001. in real or personal property, or in both, or who was not rated to the amount of 201. a year. This amendment was debated at great length, Lord J. Russell and the Government opposing it. On a division, the numbers were -for the original clause, 267; for the amendment, 204-majority, 63. Clause 20 was then adopted, as was clause 21, without any comment. In the 22d clause, which enacts that in 1836, and in every succeeding year, one-third part of the council shall go out of office, Lord Stanley moved as an amendment that the word "alternate" be substituted for the word "succeeding," thus enacting that one-third of the council should go out every two years, instead of every year. After a short discussion, the amendment was negatived by a majority of 220 to 176. The Chairman then reported progress.

July 1. Mr. Shiel inquired whether it was the intention of the Government to cause an investigation into the charge made against certain magistrates for interfering at the Carlow Election ?-Lord Morpeth answered in the affirmative.-Sir H. Hardinge expressed a hope that if there were to be inquiry it would be complete; that it would extend to the conduct of certain Roman Catholic priests at the same election. -Lord J. Russell presented the result of the inquiry into the conduct of the military at Wolverhampton.-Sir H. Hardinge expressed a hope that, as the Government had departed from its original intention, and had sanctioned this inquiry into the conduct of the military at the instigation of parties in that House, it would be prepared, now or hereafter, to state whether or not the military had been guilty of misconduct.-Lord J. Russell said he only intended to move that the documents be printed. If any one raised a question on the conduct of the military, he should be prepared to declare that the inquiry had proved the military at Wolverhampton to have conducted themselves with commendable forbearance.-After hearing evidence as to the state of health of Mr. O'Malley, confined in Newgate on account of the Ipswich election, the House ordered him to be discharged.-Lord J. Russell suggested that the House should meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at twelve o'clock. His lordship afterwards moved an Address to his Majesty, for a commission to inquire into the state of the Church of Scotland-the existing means to afford religious instruction. The address, after an extended conversation, was agreed to.-The House again resolved into committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill, beginning with clause 23, which, after various amendments were proposed and negatived or withdrawn, was, with some alterations, adopted. On clause 24, Mr. Grote proposed that the elections should be by ballot, but after some conversation he consented to withdraw it. A division took place upon the next amendment, which proposed that in case of an equality of votes the decision should be by lot and not by the casting vote of the mayor. This amendment was rejected by 190 to 146. A few clauses were postponed for future consideration; but, with these exceptions, all the clauses up to clause 36 (inclusive) were agreed to.-Mr. Oliphant brought in a Bill to abolish the convention of Royal Burghs in Scotland, which was read a first time.

July 2.-Mr. Shaw presented a petition from the county of Meath, complaining of intimidation on the part of the Irish Popish Priests.-The House went into Committee on the Corporations Bill, beginning with clause 37.-Sir R. Inglis proposed that there should be an "oath" instead of a " declaration," for the Mayor and Town Council, on entering into office.-Lord J. Russell was against the multiplication of

oaths, except there were absolute necessity.-The amendment was negatived, and the clause agreed to, as were clauses 38, 39, 40, and 41. On clause 42 being proposed, Lord Stanley moved an amendment, with the view of preventing the removal of the town clerk by so changeful a body as the town council would be.-Lord Howick resisted this amendment, and it was negatived on a division.-Several other clauses were afterwards adopted, and the Committee proceeded as far as the 54th clause, which was the last agreed to.-The House then resumed.

July 3.-A petition complaining of an undue election for Carlow was presented.— On the motion of Lord J. Russell, a select committee was appointed to consider and report upon the evidence relating to Messrs. Booth and Bignold, and Sewell and Co., for their conduct at the Ipswich election.-Lord J. Russell moved that the House at its rising do adjourn to Monday, which being agreed to, the noble lord said, with respect to the business of the House, as several Bills had been postponed in consequence of the time occupied in going through the Municipal Corporations Bill, he accordingly should move that on Tuesdays and Thursdays the House should sit from twelve to three o'clock, which he trusted would allow sufficient time to make up the arrears of business.-Agreed to.-Lord Morpeth said it was the intention of the government to submit at the earliest opportunity a measure for the Reform of Municipal Corporations in Ireland.-The House then went into Committee on the Municipal Corporation Bill, and proceeded as far as the 94th clause (inclusive.)

July 6.-Lord Stanley stated the course he should adopt with regard to the Irish Tithe Bill.-The House went into Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill. The 115th clause, the last in the Bill, having been agreed to, the committee resumed the consideration of the postponed clauses, which being disposed of, Lord John Russell gave notice that he should in committee move for certain alterations in the schedules.

July 7.—The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'cleck.-The County Coroners' Bill was considered in committee.-At the evening sitting Lord Morpeth brought in and moved the first reading of the Irish Church and Tithes Bill. He moved that it be read a second time on Monday next.-Sir R. Peel said he should not object to the second reading; but on the question that the Bill be committed, he should move an instruction to the committee to divide the Bill into two parts: he admitting the necessity of making some regulation regarding tithes, but resisting the "appropriation" clause, and the clause for the suppression of certain churches.-The second reading was fixed for Monday.

July 8.-Mr. Divett moved that the notice of Mr. Halse, with regard to the Corporation Reform Bill, should be erased from the minutes as insulting to the House.A conversation of some length ensued, which led to the withdrawing of the motion, when it was repeated by Mr. Hume in another form.-Sir R. Musgrave moved the second reading of the Bill for securing relief to the necessitous poor of Ireland. He spoke strongly in support of the Bill.-Mr. Grattan seconded the motion, and intimated his intention of proposing, on the discussion of the Irish Church Bill, that the tithes in that country should contribute towards the support of the poor.-Lord Morpeth reminded the House that he had redeemed his promise by presenting the first report of the Commissioners on the state of the poor.-Mr. Richards, Mr. Hume, and Mr. P. Scrope, spoke in favour of the motion.-The Chancellor of the Exchequer resisted the Bill on the same grounds as Lord Morpeth-namely, the propriety of waiting until the inquiries of the Commissioners were complete.-Mr. O'Connell supported the second reading, not because he approved of the principle of poor laws-for wherever they existed they produced mischief-he supported the Bill to avoid something worse.-The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 22d inst.

Died.-In Upper Berkeley Street, Portman Square, Marianna Baroness de Montesquieu. In Cadogan Place, Lieut.-General Sir H. Bell, K.C.B., aged 79, formerly resident Commandant of Royal Marines in London.
