The Election Committees now sitting are those on the petitions

from Readiog, Hull, Walsall, Shaftesbury, Evesham, Dublin, Youghall, County of Carlow; but nothing that requires especial notice has oc- curred in any Committee except that on the Evesham election. Mr. PETER.BORTHWICK has been declared guilty of bribery, in giving a silver stiuff.box to a voter. This is decisive of Mr. Peter's fate : but the Committee still continue a scrutiny into the votes of Lord Marcus Hill, although there is now no opposing candidate. This mode of proceeding seems unusual. The Committee consists of a majority of Tories, with Sir ROBERT PEEL for Chairman.
