Illicit. AUCTIONS. the part of Messrs. Coles and Pope to get the House to agree to a scrutiny. First, Coles read the lIW,.III(I said it was evident that there 0 t to be a scrutiny; and then Pope followed, and talks about the law being singularly ambiguous with respect to s scrutiny, and he would observe “ that the constitution had thrown round the elective franchise safeguards, which were indepen- dent of the mere legal interpretation of the law." Where are these safeguards to be found, and of what do they consist ? Does Mr. Pope himself know what he meant by the foregoing sentence, which is a literal extract from his printed s eed P We defy him to make sense of it. VVhat does a mean by the mere legal in- tnjrrelaliou of a slalttle, would he have it illegally inter- preted? The truth is, that Mr. Pope with regard to the privileges of the House respecting seats and elec- tions, is mononiauiac, else he would not have talked of lookic to the equitable construction of a statute, and not being guided by what special pleaders might say, and much to the like effect, which the reporter we sup- pose thought, was as well left out. All this sort of trash is meant for the galleries, and is altogether un- worthy ofa man of talent, which Pope really is, when he confines himselfto what he understands. But the best ofthe joke is,tliat after Messrs. Palmer and Havi- land had sliewn that there was no ambiguity inthe law, but that the duty of the Sheriff was plainly laid down, and that ifit were true, that the Sheriff had wilftilly or ne ligently oruitted to take the oath and attach it to the pol book, the election was null and void, and after the poll book was examined and no oath found, the election was declared void and a new writ ordered, the Hoiise ,wa.s not satisfied with having done its duty, but intist send for the Presiding Officer, Peter McCallurn, Esq. Now, what right had the House to take this extraordi- nary and trncalled-for step ? The election had been set aside; Mr. cCnlltim’s being there could do no _good, as they were very properly told by Mr. Haviland, then why send for him ? The only answer that we can suggest is, that having determined in his absence that he had been guilty ofa violation ofthe law of elections, they had sent for him either to pass sentence upon him or hear his defence, a species of Jeddart law, “ hang first and try afterwards.” Had they sent for Mr. McCallum in the first instance, for the purpose of as- certainiug whether the oath had been taken, and if so, why it was not attached to the Poll Book; there might have been sotne show of propriety in it, but they did what was perfectly correct, they examined the record and tried it by that test, and gave sentence, and their dut ' was over. Now, they had no right to condemti the Presiding Officer to pay the fine, nor had they it right to remit it; the first is the duty of the Supreme Court, and the other the Prerogative of the Crown. To what purpose then has it been done, and wluit action, to use one oftheir slang phrases, will they trike upon it ? They will find ripon further exuniiuntion, that they are powerless in the matter, and that Mr. McCal- lutn has been taken from his lI0lIIC‘tlI1(l brought up to town upon a fool's errand. “'hy, the “ farriily corri- puct” would not have acted with such deplorable want of tact and judgment. They would hardly have sent their Sergeant-at-Arms to the head of St. Peter's Buy, to bring a person before them, over whom they Vere unable to exercise the least jurisdiction, and whom they could only dismiss from their bar, the Country mean- while being forced to pay costs. It was not child’s pIay—for that is beautiful and natural—-but the play of childish men. 2‘-‘ Qtrrinal of tlic Qtmcrita. LATEST FROM EUROPE!

The mail boat was lowered. with twenty or titcnty-five persons in it, but was immediately swamped and W9"! 8310?". the people clinging to one another. They were all lost. The pinnace was next lowered, but she hung by the fore tackle, and being swamped the people were all washed out of her. In lowering the second cutter the sen raised her and nnhoolrerl the fore tackle, so that she fell down perpendi- culrirly, and all btit two of the persons in her waslierl out. Captain Symons was all this time using his utmost exertions to save his passengers and crew. Sivteen men, including two passengers, succeeded in lowering tmife-Mat, and about the same time, I (hit.

In about half an hour the life-boat took the tlingy’s people into her, and bore down for the ship with the dingy in tow, huttlie sea increasing and being nearly swamped, they were obliged to cast the dingy off and bring the boat's head to the sea. The masts went- first the foremast, and then the mizenmast. About this time, I b.rrk_p:issed astcrn of the life-boat: we hailed her with our united twenty-one voices, rind thought she answered us, but she wore and sttiud under the stern of the burning vessel, anal immediately hauled her wind and stood away again.
