When the committee met yesterday morning, Mrs. Oritti!h•, wife to a witness who had been examined on Saturday, and who is ea innkeeper and timber-merchant at Dartmouth, no. called, and produced an account-book in which were entries of refreshments—meat, cheese, bread, and heir ; also of various sums of money given to voters on the three or four days preceding the election, amounting to 33t. 4s. 9d. ; and the bill of which she deli vered herself at the office of Mr. Pridauz, a solicitor in the interest of rh. petitieners party. John Soper said he voted at the last election for Sir I Thomas Herbert A few days before the election Colonel Wolridge, one of the committee acting for Sir T. Herbert, came to witness %hist a horse which ho (wittier) had to sell. Wanted* asked 401. fur this hose. lbs colossi said he would give 301., and witness replied be mast have 331. which theca:onel agreed to give his:. The colonel did not try the hors, be had often seen witness ride the hone be fore. and knew it well. The colonel, a few days after, gave witness 201. on account, saying be had not all the money by him. lie (witness) rode the horse home again, and has the hone now, so that be has Loth the horse and the 201. - About a furtnietht or three weeks after, the colonel gave him 10 , ., saying, " Here, Soper, here's some thing more far you, and I'm ill. still in your debt." Wit nem is a veterinary surgeon, and is using the hone con stantly for his own purposes. • The colonel did not ask for a warranty, net if the horse was sound ; the colonel lives within about a quarter of a mile from witness's house, but has been in London almost ever since the election, and therefore witness has not seen him since, till he saw him this day in the committee-roam. Wit ness has not yet charged the colonel anything for the keep of the horse, but he means to charge him he. a week for it ; hut there was no understanding with the colonel that he should pay for the keep. Witness has bad the horse about two years. Had it in ezehange from • man named Davis Heve another horse, some hay, and some cash (about 31. or 41 .) fur the bona It is a mare, rising eight years old ; it is a riding mare. Witness, while talking with the colonel about the hone, said that he and a farmer, named Stranger, a tenant of Sir 11. Seale, intended to ride their horses off on the piling day, and not to vote. on which tho colonel said they might do as they liked ; he would press no min (orbit vote. Witness has paid the last half-year's tan for this horse—ho compounds for his horse tax, having other horses. The farmer, Stranger, voted for Sir T. Herbert, and so did witness. Crossezainined—Witness voted at the previous election for Mr. Prinsep, but is neither a conservative nor a whig— be is as much one as the other—has no strong opinions either way. He will swear the purchase of the hone by the colonel had no influence whatever on his vote. Richard Coombe, who had been examined on Saturday, was recalled to speak as to what he thought was the value ct the hone in question. He said the horse was a worn out one. When asked what he thought the horse was worth, counsel fur the sitting member objected that the question could not be put, as there was no rule of law more clearly understood than that counsel could not bring for ward evidence to contradict their own witnesses. The chairman took this view of it, though he said the committee might exercise their own discretion in putting it. Subse quently the chairman himself put the question, and the witness said he thought the horse was not worth more than 61. or 71., as it was worn out, was between 20 and 30 yeah of age, and had two broken knees. Mr. Rodsrell said he must now ask the committee to send =order fur the attendance of Sir Thomas Herbert, for the purpose if his being examined, which the committee speed to. and the chairman having signed an order to that effect, the committee adjourned for au hour. On their re-assem- bling, Mr. Macauley objected ta Sir Thomas Herbert being amincd for the purpose, an avowed by counsel oa the other side, of giving evidence to incriminate himself. Mr. James contended that, by the 11th and 15th Vie., any person who could give evidence wax admissible end compelled to do so when called upon by either party in the case ; sad, therefore, that Sir Thomas Herbert came dis tinctly within the sena letter and spirit of the proper con etreetiost of that act. The room was cleared, and when the public were again admitted, fhe Chairman said, be woo directed by the committee to dais, that they had come to a unanimous decision that the sitting member being admissible as a witness. the patitiours ceteld not be denied their right to examine him. Sir Thomas Ilerbert was then examined by Mr. James— He said he was a candidate at the he election at Dart mouth. lie had no local influence, except some friends.

He did not promise Ills vote, cad would not get, any derided answer. On the Mendes - before the election he saw Mr. Benson at Gate's public-house, where lbs was brothel - it by Wilson. Witness had five or six glazers of brandy. and lie was asked to vote fur Aglionby and Horan's, but he would not promise. Wilson also gave him a bottle of whiskey, which lie took home, and Wilson came with him. Witni is was then in Wilson's employment. 11 , afterwards voted for Wyndham. Beefier' Bell, waiter at the Sun publicheute, spoke to see ing Mr. Aglionby in the committee-mom, and Mr. Hors man. There was .5 dinner party each day at the committee room, consisting of Mr. Aglionhy, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Ben son, and Mr. Steel. This witness was minified at con siderable length as to the gentlemen he saw at the com mittee-room in the evening when speaking war going on— particularly Mr. Wfison—and his evidence varied so much that the Chairmen told b.ei the committee were of opinion th it he had not spoken the whole truth, in accordance with his nab. An old ction was taken that the mere fact of Mr. Wilson asking for the vote was nut evidence of agency. After some discussion, the room was cleared ; on the re &amis....inn of strangers, The Chairman isnnouneed, the committee were of opinion that the evidence of the last witness was not sufficient to establish any connection or agency by Mr. Wilson. Evidence was then gone into with respect to the proceed ings of Mr. Aglioutey and Mr. Horsmao, (or the week before, and ou the day of the nomination, and dewing the election. The committee then adjourned to this morning. - --- LEICESTER. In this committee yesterday Serjeant Kinglake in sisted on being heard with reference to the intimation the committee had made on the preceding day in respect to his and Mr. Macaulay's absence, and after a discussion of half au hour it was agreed that the obnoxious words should be struck out of the minutes. The rest if the day was spent by the petitioners,notwith standing the 'monstrance' of the sitting members' agents, in examining witnesses in direct contradiction to those whom they 13111 called on the two preceding days. The evidence possessed no public interest, but was explanatory of the meaner in which the petitioners had been what one of the witnesses called "let in and sucked" in regard to a great portion of their case. Mr. Thomas Spooner, an attorney, of Leicester, described various meetings which he hail with the witnesses Kirk and Ludlam, with a view to discovering whether the stories they had told of their haying been bribed were true. At the first meeting, Kirk denied having received anything; Put in conseqttence of a conversation which the witness had suosequently with a person named Samuel Berridge, he had a second interview with Kirk, and said, " You're a nice fellow ! you told me you had received nothing for your vote, but I have heard you received about 71. kirk replied that he did not like to split against his party, but they had behaved so blackguardly to him, that then he would ; that ho ha I. never been so ill-need in his life as he had been by V.:- people of °silky ; that they kicked him down stairs, and otherwise iiltreated him, and he wouldn't stand it any longer. Kirk then told witness that he had received money ' feat would not mention any particulars. He said he would obey the Speaker's warrant, and added that he knew enough himself to upset tho election, without any other witnesses. Kirk wanted to know what he would get for going to Lon don, and witness said 10*. or 16s. a day and mileage. Wit ness.' questioned him about a breakfast at Chamberlain's. He refused to say who paid for it; bet afterwards he said, when witness asked him if Mr. Corrah paid for it, that he might be farther off the mark. He had various other inter views with Kirk end Ludlam, at one of which Kirk said he had had 71. to distribute among the Oadley voters; and Ludlam, who was present, admitted that he had received 1.04. of it, adding that he had .. always received massy at ciections, and would never vote unless be was paid."

'The unsatisfactory state of the present testamentary jurisdiction was recognised, and it was agreed that it should be transferred to courts having jurisdiction over real as well as personal estate ; that the creation of a uew curt is undesirable, but that the existing common law and county courts, for want of equity powers, and the existing courts of equity, for want of power to empanel jUnt s and decide on matters of fact, are at present unequal to, and sh..uld not be intrusted with the enlarged jurisdiction; and finally, that no satistsc tory settlement of the question pending with respect to the testamentary jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts can be come to, except by its being exercised by a court of coa -1 joined law and equity having jurisdiction over wills of real and personal estate.

AMUSEMENTS IN THE TYROL—On the 19th March the inhabitants of Zirl, near Innapruck, celebrated the re covery of the Emperor by shooting at the target, and the following are some literal extracts from the Theatre Zei tang : " Yesterday was a grand day. The marksmen marched out in procession with drums sad fifes in the van. After the music came the flags, the prize, and the targets." On one of the targets was inscribed, in dogged rhymes, " 0, England, hell-brand, safe retreat for COM ardly women —blow it to pieces, the infernal nest, the stye for all rob bers " The bull's eye of the second target was repre sented by the Lititish arms, with the motto, If the devil had a son, surely 'twas Lord Palmerston.' Kossuth and Mazzini, ' who were in a position which can be better por trayed by the brush than described by the pen, were re presented as raising their hands supplicatingly to the royal shield.' The inscription beneath was too coarse to be re , peated. The bull's eye was soon hit, and "Oh what tri umphal shouts arose ' The Tyrolese peasants are tine fel lows, hut they would hardly have thought of this piece of absurdity if they had not been incited so to do by their su periors in knowledge and education. REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Espress.) By the most recent advice' from the north of Europe we learn that there bad been nu re:urn of frost, but there was still much ice, and it would, it was estimated, require another week of mild weather to set the navigation free. The continued dull accounts from hence had rendered holders of wheat rather anxious to realise, and the tendency of prices had been downwards at all the leading markets in the Baltic. Letters from Danzig, of the sth inst., state that, though sellers of wheat had shown a disposition to facilitate busi ness, the want of activity in the demand had prevanted sales to any extent being effected ; and in the absence of important operations, quotations had remained nominally as before ; there can, however, be no doubt that purchases might have been made at less money, if buyers had been disposed to come forward. Freights were about the same as betbre— say, for London and the east coast, 4s. Gd. per qr. The finest high-mixed wheat was quoted 495., and the general runs, ranging in weight from 61} to 631b5., 455. up to 48s. per qr. free on board. From Konigsberg we learn, under date of sth inst., that the breaking up of the frmt had rendered the roads almost impassable, and that the samples of grain from the interior had consequently been very small. The demand had at the same time been exceedingly slow ; and so little had been done since the previous post day as scarcely to allow quota tions to be given with any degree of accuracy. There can, however, be no doubt that it would not have been difficult to have executed orders, though limited Is. to 2s. perqr. be low the nominal quotations. These remarks are equally applicable in regard to the general state of affairs at most of the Lower Baltic ports. Stettin advice. of the 4th inst. state that the tendency of prices had been towards a decline, and that flee till to 62lbs. red wheat had been rather freely offered at 41s. to 425. per qr. free on board. The navigation would, it was expected, be free from ice in eight or ten days from that time. Hardly any supplies of spring corn had come forward, and quota tions of barley had beer very firmly supported. Rostock letters, of Monday, state that the transactions in wheat had for some ,time been unimportant, but that holders had not been much disposed to lower their preten sions, it being deemed doubtful whether it would be practi cable to replace what might be sold with advantage. The j deliveries from the growers had been -mall, and the pre- Tailing opinion was that many of the farmers would have little more wheat to bring forward. The price for good quality was them 435. per qr., free on board. Barley had come sparingly to hand, and had commanded quite as much money as before. At the near continental ports business in wheat appears to have become very dull. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, there was more wheat offering than could be placed, and the turn wu certainly against the seller. This was also the cue at Rotterdam, on Monday, but prices were not considered quotably lower than on that day se'nnight. The advices from France are decidedly flat ; and at Paris, on Wednesday, the price of flour gave way quite If. per sack : at this abatement there was, however, an im proved demand, and a fair amount of business was done. The appearance of the wheat plant in France is variously spoken of ; in some localities it is said to have been injured, but on the whole the complaints are not more general tkaa le usual at the same time of the year. The accounts from the Mediterranean are not of much interest. A few parcels of wheat seem to have changed bands at Leghorn, Malta, &c., at about firmer rates. The reports from the more distant ports on the Black Sea are likewise mach the same in effect as those previously rem iced. At °slats, on tho 17th ult., wheat was dull of sale ; the best sorts might then have been bought at 261. to 265. 9d., and secondary kinds at 235. 3d. to 255. per qr. free on board. Freight to England was 14s. to 14e. 3d. per qr. for wheat. At Odessa, on the 27th March, there was some activity in the wheat trade. Polish was then worth 305., and Ohirka 30s. 3d. per qr. free on board. By the latest accounts from America we learn that the dull reports from this side, and a sudden tightness in the money market, had caused prices of wheat and flour to give way, more or less, at the principal ports. At New York, the decline in the slue of flour had been fully 30 cents per barrel. Freights were much the same as before—say 2s. 9d. to 3s. per brl. fur London. MARKETS. COlTON—Livanroot., Arum 11.—The market closed firmly, even tightly, with no change on the current quota tion of last week. The sales amounted to from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, and comprise 6,000 Americans (SOO for export and 1,000 on speculation); 300 Pernam and Maranham, at 6d. to 71d.'; 100 Bahia, at NJ. to Old.; 400 Egyptian, at 61d. to Ild.; 1,000 Surat and Madras (SOO for expert), at 3id. to 41d.; and 60 Sea bland., at Is. 9d. to 23.46. CATTLE.—COLCIITATER, April 9.—There was an abun dance of stock at market to-day, with a good sprinkling of fat Beasts and Sheep, which continue to command high prices, the demand for the London markets being very brisk, and nearly the whole were sold before the close. Stock Sheep keep up in value, but the demand was slack coca , pared with former weeks. Mitch Cows sell well. Fresh and lean Beasts realised last week's rates, and a fair busi ness done. The Pig trade continues good. Supply: Sheep and Lambs, 4,390; Beasts, 390; Pigs, 360; Calves, 17; Horses, 38. NOSWICH, April 9.—Our market exhibited an excellent show of Scots, short-horns, and Irish ; although there was a fair attendance of buyers, sales were by no means brisk, and at the close many lots remained unsold, at last week's prices. Fat Beasts a small show ; trade brisk, at from 69 6.t. to 7s. per stone of 14 lbs., and all sold. The number of Bog gets penned was larger than expected, and the buyers more numerous; all were quickly sold at from Is. to Is. 6d. per head advance over last week. Ewe. and Lambs in demand, at from 40s. to 455., and 50s. to 555. per couple, according to age, size, and condition. Fat Sheep, in their wool, 9s. to 9s. 6d.; naked Sheep. 7s. to 7s. 64. per atone. In store Pigs and fat Pork no alteration worth notice. COALS.—Lotsnots, APRIL 11.—Ship at market, 268; sold, 166.—Bate's West Hartley, 15s. 6d. ; Burnhope, 14.. 6d.

Juries Wieurnsx. THE GODLEY Mraixa. Horrid Thornlev and Robert Thornky, were charged I I with poisoning James Brookes, at Godley. Mr. Davison and Mr. Swetenharn conducted the prose- i cution ; Mr. Mackintyre defended the prisoners. This murder was alleged to have been committed in February, 1847. The deceased James Brookes lived with his wife, the female prisoner, at • farm, at Godley. near Ashton-under-Lgne. Ile was • collier, working chiefly in a coal mine, at Dunkirk, but for a short time previous to his death be had worked at Pendleton, near Manchester. He used to leave home for Pendleton on the Monday morn ing, and return home on the Saturday evening. During the hay harvest of 1846 he had employed the prisoner Thorneley on his farm, and discharged him at the latter end of the year. An attachment sprang up between Thorneley and Brookes's wife, and Mrs. Brookes had fre quently been heard to say that she would rather have Robert Thoruely'a little finger than her husband's whole body. Thorneley had been heard by several parties to threaten the life of Brookes, and he entertained a resent ment against the deceased fur having discharged him. Belden)* was given to prove that an adulterous inter course had been carried on between the two prisoners before the death of James Brookes. Oa the 27th of February, James Brookes died after being ill for a few days, and suf fering from frequent vomiting'. An inquest was held upon his body, but as he had recently been wounded in the coal mists it was thought that his death had resulted from the wound which was received on the temple. H., was buried, and in the May following the prisoner Thorneley married Brookes' widow. They continued to litre together until the summer of 1851, when they quarrelled. Thorncley told off the furniture, and separated from his wife. In May, 1852, Thorneley went to a Lancashire police-officer, named Thune, and stated to him that in February, 1847, he had purchased poison for the purpose of procuring the death of James Brookes • had given it to Harriet Bro,,kes, who administer ed it to her husband. This statement war thought to be the result of a strange fancy, and no notice was taken of it. On the 22nd of De cember last Thorneley made a similar statement to another police-officer named Leash. That was taken no notice of, and on the 27th December the prisoner volunteered the same statement to the superintendent of police at Staley bridge. It was then committed to paper, signed by the prisoner, and he testified to its truth on three or four ' , successive occasions when examined before the magistrates. In consequence of this Thorneley was taken into custody, the coffin of James Brookes war exhumed, its contents ana lysed, and the presence of 94 grains of arsenic discovered in the remains of the tissue, glandular, and ligamentous por tions of the body. The cue for the prosecution being closed, Mr. Macintyre addressed the jury, going through the whole of the evidence, and contending that, as respected Harriet Thotneley, the ease was very slight. The learned counsel was proceeding with his address when our parcel was despatched. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTERDAY. The April General Quarter Session of the Peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assistant- Judge, and a full bench of magistrates. There are 43 pri soners for trial, allot whom, with one exception, are charged with felony. The Assistant-Judge briefly charged the grand jury, ex plaining to them the nature of their duty, which was simply to ascertain in each case whether there was sufficient evi deuce to put the accusedon trial, and not go into the merits of the cues that would be submitted to them. Mr. William Gilpin, Mr. Benjamin Williams, and Mr. J. Turnley, took the oaths of qualification as Justices of the Peace for Middlesex. THE POLICE COU.RTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Williams Johnson was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination upon al charges of having ob tained money under false pretences Mr. D. C. Gardiner, appraiser, of 17, Hatton Garden, said, on the 14th of February I received a letter purporting to conic from Mr. W. Jones, solicitor, High-street, Graves end, and I directed my clerk to leave some money with the housekeeper to pay for umpirage, to which it alluded, when it should arrive. Next morning I found an inventory en closed in a letter which had been taken in by the house keeper. It purported to appertain to some household fur -1 niture, fixtures, and other effects at the Canal Tavern, Gravesend, and the letter is as foUows "Gravesend, 14th February. " Sta,—As umpire you are requested to value the effects orinsprised in the foregoing inventory. See lease (on the premises) as to sale of fixtures, estimate windows damaged, gni beer measures, and let your award and charges be ll* by 3 o'clock Wednesday.—We are, Sir, " WY. Fite% " JOHN SMITH." Addressed Mr. Gardiner, appraiser, &c; Hatton Garden. Umpire., per bearer, 10e. Jane Troughton, housekeeper to Mr. Gardiner, said, in February last the paper parcel produced was brought to the premises by the prisoner, who said it contained the " um pirage," and there was 10s. to pay. I had received 7s. from one of the clerks to pay for the umpirage, and I put 3s. to it and save the whole amount to the prisoner, who said the solicitor and the lease were at band, and Mr. Gardi ner would have very little trouble. One of Mr. Gardiner's clerks said that he went to the Canal Tavern at Gravesend and found that the whole of the statement about the inventory and the umpirage was files, and that there were no such persons as those named in the letter in existence. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said the papers had been given to me to take according to directions, and I de livered them accordingly. Mr. J. J. Greeted, clerk to Messrs. Bullock, of High llelborn, auctioneers, said, about the 26th of February the prisoner brought a parcel containing an inventory of effects, the property of W. A. Lee, Esq., on the: premises, Old Steyne, Brighton, to our office, and asked to see Mr. Bul lock, who was out at the time. He said he brought an impinge from Brighton, and he produced a letter inclosing an inventory of goods, which Mr. Bullock was requested to value. The document was signed James Ridley, W. Aust. The prisoner asked me for 10a, which it is the usual prac tice to pay the messenger on such occasions when stated on the outside of the papers. I gave him the money, and he gave me a receipt signed " St. phen Wall." Brown, one of the City detectives, said that he had gone to Brighton, and ascertained that no such persons as those mentioned in the letter were known there. The prisoner—l can say no more than I have said before, that the papers were given to me to take to Mr. Bullock. Mr. J. J. Close, auctioneer, of 33, Clemenes.lane, stated that the prisoner called upon him with a parcel addressed " Mr. S. Close, senior, Clement's-lane. llmpirage. Pay bearer 7s. 64." I opened it in his presence. The letter was read. It purported to be an umpirage from Mr. It Tenfold, solicitor to the estate, and was dated Croydon, March 25th. The witness refused to let the prisoner have more than a shilling to pay the fare back to Croydon. The prisoner returned with a second letter, but by that time it was ascertained that the whole of the statement was false, and an officer was directed to take him into custody. The prisoner said he could assure his lordship that he had been regularly employed to &liver the message. The prisoner's son said his father hod been very unfortu nate of late years, after having gone through considerable property, and there was no doubt as to his having been em ployed in these affairs by a treacherous person, to whom he had fallen a victim. The Lord Mayor—l commit him on the three charges. Mary Gryfin, servant to Mr. Green, clothier, of Beek Marks, was committed for trial on the charge of having committed robberies in her master's house by means cf a stolen key. WORSHIP STREET. Edward Green was charged with a violent tumult upon Elizabeth Steer. Omni iinant, who exhibited numeraus cuts and contu sions about the face and a severe gash over her right eye,•aid that :he had been living for the last fifteen months with the prisoner, who hod subjected her to the most cruel and systematic ill-treatment during the whale of that period. He had not performed a single day's wen k for upwards of a twelvemonth, but compelled her to support him in idleness by a vicious course of life. After wandering about the streets on the previous night until she wu completely exhausted, she returned to her lodging at one o'clock that morning, and the moment she entered the room, the pti ' soner demanded, in a surly tote, what money she had brought home for him. On tellirg him that eke had rot been able to pr.reurci any that night, she was instantly seised by the primmer, wha tole MT her pocket, and finding it to be perfectly empty, he commenced en unmerciful attack upon her, in the course of which he knocked her down several times, and beat her about the face until it was bruised and disfigured as it now appeared. The prisoner then flung her out into the street. at the same time telling her that she had better not venture back unless she brought him same money, and after remaining outside fur several hours she communicated the particulars of his brutal con duct to a policeman, who entered the house and took him into custody. On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner care lessly answered that he did not suppose it would be of much use to say scything. Mr. D'Eyncourt ordered him to pay a penalty of 51, or to be committed in default for two months to the liouse of Correction. the mails will be de. !April 16 Xi,. inn of the India will be despatched the Osmanli (s.), for Australia, bas put back, with a !light leak, caused by a detective rivet, which will be replace!; she will sail again to-morrow (this day).—Liverpool, April 11. £R I VED.
