HOUSE O F C O M MO N S . GIjOUCESTER CiTY ELECTION' ; Me . Edwin James moved an address to her Majesty , to cause inquiry to be made into the corrupt practices and bribery which took place at the late Gloucester election . He had carefully read the evidence , and it appeared that this was not a case in which there had teen a few isolated instances of bribeiy , but that a . deep system of organised corruption prevailed . at the election in question . Mi " . Hadfibu considered that no practical benefit resulted from such commissions . Mr . Malins said there hud been a number of bluebooks containing evidence in reference to these commissions published , none of which were read by the public . He contended that they should not i wosecute the poor and tempted voter , whose necesr sities induced him to accept a bribe , but the agents who had b een guilty of , bribery . Sir G . GttEY said that this commission would not , in its results , load only to a prosecution of the poor , but to tho punishment of the rjch , if it was proved that they had Ibeen guilty of bribery . In making this motion the hon . and learned member ( Mr , E . James ) was onjy acting in conformity with the terms of the Act of Parliament .
I - — ^ fW — - - ^— *—^ " - - ^^ j ^» ^^ ^^ ^ m f be printed and the . reading postponed until tern orrcnr . The motion was agreed to . [ left sitting . J , .
Mr . v . SoujLi / r said that he would go higher than the Agents , and punish those members who had directly , or indirectly , been guilty of bribery . He remembered when it was proposed to a former House that every member should pledge his honour that he had nut been guilty of bribery and that ho had not paid any unnecessary expenses ; but this proposition was rejected . Until the House determined to act with independence and uprightness in this matter they could not put an end to bribery . Tho House divided , and tho numbers wore—For tho motion 09 Against 21 Majority —38

The Qaktsrhuhy . . Hall , in the Westminster-road , is certainly now one of the lions of London . The first arid second acts of Verdi ' s " Macbeth / ' as given here , are , to our thinking , an infinitely more reeommendable attraction to country visitors than those offered in their muchrbeloved cellar in Coventgarden . The facile and clever soprano , Miss Russell , has a sweet and powerful voice , which , at present , seems proof even against long and successive evenings with Verdi . . Signor Tivoli , the basso , again , no less than the numerous choir , who deliver the resonant music of the master with great energy and effect , are worthy of more pretentious entertainments , and in the olden days would have been deemed far too good for a sixpenny concert , as this merely is , notwithstanding the high class of the entertainment offered by the far-seeing proprietor . The idea of the latter , of bringing grist to his mill by contributing yet more to the intellectual enjoyment of his patrons , by appending to his music hall a numerous and meritorious collection of paintings , has all the charm of novelty ,, with far more merit , than the " startlingnovelties" of public places of amusement may , as a general rule , lay claim to .

The Journal , of Rome , of the 6 th , has the following : — " After the deplorable events , produced by some factious men , which for a time troubled tho tranquility of the town of Ancona , the Pontifical rule was peaceably re-established ; and the municipality recently resolved that a deputation should convey to tho foot of the throne of his Holiness the sentiments of devotedness and fidelity with which the best part of the population has never ceased to be animated . The deputation consisted of the principal ecclesiastic of the cathedral of Ancona , Count Ferretti , Count Milesi Ferretti , and M . Belgiovane ! Tho deputation , being presented by the two cardinals , were received by the Holy Father with his usual kindness and clemency . The deputation afterwards presented its homage to the Cardinal Secretary of State . "
