Lisaehouse, and Poplar, in this borough, was held :the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, to et W. Clay. Mr. George Offer was in the chair.--Sir .a . Chi (who was received with . great cheering and egi mixed with a few bine') ac id, that in appomisc ls- Ea &Wore as a candidate for the Tower Bembeli be wirear . as a new candidate, for he had been their spmestedoe in four parliaments, and that ever since the • beggegh had is - termed the franchise ; and he bad rather to agree the plat than to the future. If he had failed in the pednuarice of his duty let them discard him and choose a um heroic and fitting representative. But if he ha faithfully performed his duty with attention, then grey might look to his past conduct as a guarantee be the future, and professions would be useless. It vas fifteen years since he had represented them, and lawns the command of entire leisure acd independent's, be Wed to them such commercial kuowledge as made him &fang representative for this borough. His qualifications hid been tined, and although there might be some who db. append of his opieious, he yet asked if there was one match or one vote of his which hart not been in accordance with the principles he had professed from the fiat time he addressed them ? If he had swerved from those principles, he should not have had courage to present himself before them, bat not having changed his opinion he felt great SW ideal in asking them to return him again to parliament. D. principal question which had occupied the last garliament was one in which the b.ttele h sal been bight and won, and the interest in it had almost peed seas—he meant the question of free-trade. Th. Tim. birouet then at length went through the history of the node in which the abolition of the corn-laws had been car ded, and characterised it as one of the greatest instances of the ultimate prevalence of truth and justice. That parlia ment would be siznelied in history as the "right-about-face" parliament. His course in that parliament was clear : to Feanehis own principles, though brought forward by his s l eoponr eats. lie sad the men of the Tower Hamlets eed the cern laws long before their abolition bemuse &popular question. and he had brought forward the repeal id the corn laws in 1939, before the corn law league or the whip had moved in it, and they had now the satisfaction of sow the triumph of those principles. The abrogation of the corn lows had mainly aided in getting the country through the calamity caused by the failure of the potato crop es well as having relieved the pressure on manufacturing Wintry. With regard to religious endowment, whim' was &abject that had become of high importance, because there was a notion that the question of endowing the Roman esthetic c'ergy might soon arise, he would say that, after Leg consideratino, lie had determined not to support a vote for such a purpcse. lie bad supported the vote for an increased greet to Maynooth on the ground of its being an educational question—.and because it was the fulfilment of a pledge given for the prevision oft )per edutatOnt of the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland, order to prevent their being educated in a foreign country. The hen. baronet then justified his vote for the grant of mosey for the relief cf distress in Ireland, and stated that he accompanied that veto by one for a poor-law in that country. He believed the existence of a law for the relief of the poor was one of the main elements of our greatness. Ile would, however, never vote money to be squandered on idleness, for he maintained that the poor of Ireland should be main tained by the property of Ireland. If he was again elected he would far the future, as he bail in the past, endeavour to be the faithful expounder iu parliament of these principles they mutually profaned; he would be the vigilant guardian of their local interstate, accessible to every elector or non elector, and he would carry oat to their fullest legitimate extent every principle of cavil and religious liberty, but be would do to with caution, for he knew that the men of the Tower Hamlets, while they were the friends of civil and reli gious liberty, were also the friends of order.—Mr. Horton, amidst much confusion and disapprobation, 'petitioned the hon. baronet as to the roosons why he had not joined the Corn law League : to whirls Sir W. Clay replied, by stating that be was a member of and subscriber to the league, and was •much earlier lebourer in the field than the league itself—Mr. Frayer asked to what extent Sir W. Clay would go as re garded religious liberty and equality, and if he would con sent to a separation between the church and state I—Sir W. Clay said, it it was meant that he was to destroy the esta blished church, ho answered d'atinetly he would not do so ; because, with the reform he would apply to it, it might be made an excellent instrument of instruction for the people, and he believed the most intelligent of the nonconformists did not wish its destruction. Ile would abolish church-rates if he could, and would consent to no taxation of the people to endow any religious sects, or to any grant for education which would infringe on religious liberty.—lt was also asked how far be would extend the suffrage ?—Sir W. Clay said he was prepared instantly to repeal the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill, and lie would give the voters the ballot. ' Although he was an advocate for the extension of the suffrage, so as that it should be coextensive with the people, he would not pledge himself yet to universal suffrage, and he would only move to it by steps which he thought perfectly safe. It was then asked if the hon. baronet thought that a men able to work and who could not get it had not as inalienable a right to noisome through the poor law as the landholdor and fundholder had to his property,—Sir W. Clay said he answered that question decidedly in the affirmative. It was asked if Sir W. Clay was favourable to a graduated property tax equal to national expenditure, and sr Cm as possible to the abolition of all other taxes.—Sir W. Clay thought that the taxation of the necessaries of life might be removed, but he could not give a fuller answer to that question.—An elector then asked if Sir W. Clay intended to assist in the demorali sation of the people by piing strong drink at the election. (Great laughter, and strong symptoms of disapprobation at Inch • not it n as the above ofliquor at an election being mooted). Sir W. Clay said it was not his intention to give strong drink at hi election.—ln answer to another question, Sir W. Clay said that he would not say that the navigation laws did not require revision at modification ; but he thought the question should be spprosebed with the utmost caution, and the bias of his mind was against any alteration in them..

ViBATM IN 87 Elt. —Veal kV* refitetinin sa pasdas eamaise and the state of feeling amongst the eleotoes, must mass to convince any one that Westminster is likely to be neutral' in the new parliament, molar, indeed, which seems quite hopeless, cue of the liberal candidates shall withdraw imme diately. As the contest approaches, the ill feeling between the supporters of Mr. Cochrane a nd the two other liberal candidates seems rather to increase. In all places of public resort, the supporters of Mr. Cochrane openly challenge a comparison of his merits and claims with those of either of his political rivets, and more especially with those of Mr. Lathing ton. On the other hand, some of Mr. Cothrane's friends have pet forth a placard of a personal character in reference to Kr. hl Inesgett, well known as the secretary of the West minster Reform Society, and the manager of the canvass on behalf of General Evans and Mr. Lusgton. This docu ment has been exhibited in various Onninnitte4/400112S of Mr. Cochrane, at private houses, and on the public walls, and, from the nature of its allegations, has excited much public attention. It will probably tend to enliven the proceedings at the nomination, which, as before stated, is fixed for this day. THE PROVINCE 9. ASIITON-UNDER.LYNIL—The nomination is fixed for Thursday. Mr. ilindley will be returned without opposition. AzunnEL.—The Earl of Arundel is not to be opposed. The nomination is fired for Friday. ABERDEEN.— f h‘. re is one point upon which all Scotland — liberal and conservative--is unanimous, the banking qur stion. At the elections there is but one voice, and that is hostile to beak monopoly and restrictions on tanking innery shape. Yet the first person applied to by the siesta employed to get up en opposition to Captain Fordyce was an eminent London banker, decidedly opposed to the Scotch system. Beim icx.—Mr. Richard Rodstoon, in retiring from the representation of this borough, endeavoured to foist a nominee on the conservative party in the person of Mr. Miller, a retired hatter, who once sat for Newoutle-under kat.. The independent portion of that party, however, resented this attempt, and, after a few days' canvass (during which he threatened to make the present the moat expensive election ever known in Berwick), the redoubtable Mr. Miller has fled before the incursion of a neighbouring tory squire, Mr. Renton. The return of Mr. M. Forster was from the first certain, and he and Mr. Benton will be mem bers for Berwick in the next parliament. The election takes place to-day (Wednesday). BEDFORO —The nomination is fixed for Monday next, and the polling for Tneeday. The county election is ap- Pointed for Saturday week (Aug. 7), when no opposition le contemplated. BANDON.—There will be no contest in this borough. BRlSTOL.—Yesterday evening a public meeting of Mr. Apsley Pellatt'a friends was held at the Assembly-rooms, Princes-street. There was a very large attendance. Mr. Pollan addressed the meeting. lie avowed himself in favour Of • greatly-extended suffrage, of shortening the duration of parliament', of vote by ballot, and of the entire separation of church and state. If - he should be elected, he would vote Ix doing away with the ecolesiutical courts, and for apply ing the revenues of the church to the purposes of the state. At the close of his address a resolution was proposed, pledg ing the meeting to support him by all legal and cenatitu• tional means. An amendment was proposed and a show of hands taken amidst very considerable confusion. TLo chair man declared tke original motion carried. Four of the leading friends of Mr. Fripp have issued an addreNs pledging themselves to send that gentleman to the poll. Mr. Frtpp is a conservative, bat in favour of commercial reform. Botrox.—The nomination is fixed fur this day. The candidates are Mr. John Brooks and Dr. Bowring in the liberal interest, and Mr. Bolling, a tory. Bunt.—Friday is the day of nomination. Mr. Walker sits again unopposed. BLACKBURN.—The nomination takes place this day. The candidates are Messrs. Pilkington, Hargreaves, and Roberts. BALNPIIIKIIIII.—Mr. Duff has issued his add/Cu: no opposition. . . . . ntenoc—The nomination is this day, when it is ex. pected that Mr. M. Wilson will be the only candidate. CAMBIIIDOP.OHME.—Mr. Townley declim s to come for ward. Lord 0. Mennen is in the field. COCILIIIIIIOI.ITH.—Lieut..Gea. Wyndham has been re quested to stand. DURHAM (NORTA).—It has just been announced that Col. Beckwith, one of the liberal candidates for the northern di vision, has resigned his pretensions, and withdrawn Lis deposit money. D u DI AN (Crrr).—There appears no 'lkelitrod of a contest. A screw is loose in the proceedings of the whigs and re -- pettier., for up to this day, with the precept already arrived, nothing has been done. Meantime the conservatives are active. A pls.-Red is posted throughout the city calling on the " freemen" to come in to an office in Dame-street, and re gister their names and residences, as there is only one day for polling, and it may be necessary to know their focus Os quo. Rumour again names Sir W. Somerville es a candidate. repealen have held a meeting in Drogheda, and sent forward a deputation to Conciliation hall to get a candidate to oppose Sir W. Somerville. Raikes, son of the Chancellor of Chester, is the conservative candidate. D trw tea —Mr. Lloyd, the liberal candidate. has retired. Essex, Noarw.—Mr. Fyshe Harrison has come forward as a supporter of the policy of Sir It. Pet). EDINTIVIIGH.—Mr...:owan, it is understood, will go to the poll if he recites a 500 pledges—of that number he is quite certain—and at the poll his votes will run to a thousand at least. The conservatives, it is said, will start Mr. Black burn, chairman of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The excise pressure is telling on Messrs. Macaulay and Gibson Craig, who advertise that on that question they will be found " as satisfactory as Mr. Cowan or any other candi date." We believe that the precautions taken by his cvm mittee at last registration have placed Mr. Macaulay out of danger. FALKIRK HUROIIB.—Mr. W. S. Boyd stands on the liberal interest, rice Mr. Wilson, retiree. GLAsOUW.—Our correspondent writes:—" On reading the lists of Mr. Dennistoun's sod of the Lord Provost's, and Mr. 3laegregor's committee, it is as if the liberal committee of former elections were divided into two. On Dennistoun's we have the aristocratical and ornamental names; on Mac gregor and Hastie's the names of the working members, each of whom can bring up his fifty and hundred voters. The Darnel, too, on Dennistoun's committee do not always repre sent the same persons—but younger men who have come in the place of the former bearers with leas weight and legs talent. It will be a neck-and-neck race. It is rather amusing to hear the supporters of Denniatoun and Dixon protesting against being represented by any but a townsman. Seeing that they made such efforts to bring in and keep in Lord William Bentinck, they ought at least to qualify their declarstions, and merely protest against " any stranger — except a lord." GATEPREAD.—Wednesday (this day) has been fixed for the election. Mr. Hutt, the old member, is the only candidate. GALWAY (Corxxv).—Mr. St. George, a conservative, re tires from his solicitations; Mr. Daly still proceeds, but will not improbably give way before the election. HERTFORD.—A third candidate has suddenly made his appearance, in the person of Mr. T. Chambers, barrister, a native of the town, and a dissenter. Mr. Chambers arrived late on Tuesday night, and issued his address on Wednesday morning. Ills principles are of a decidedly liberal character, and his friends are sangui. e of success, nntwithstandi'•g the lateness of his appearance in the field. It is expected that he will coalesce with the Hon. W. F Cowper, against Lord Mahon. The nomination will take place this day (Wednes. day). HARRINGTON BURG/se—The nomination is fixed for Thursday, when Sir If. IL V. Davie will most likely be the only candidate proposed. KIDDIRMINSTER. — The inhabitants of this borough have (with the exception of the select few who had been previously let into the secret) been taken by surprise by the sadden and I unexpected appearance in the field of a free-trade and '• reli- pious toleration" candidate, to oppose the return of Mr. Godson, who, it was expected, up to the last moment, would be returned again fur this borough without opposition. The candidate is Mr. E. J. Sartoris, introduced to the notice of the cinstituency by some gentlemen of local influence. This sudden change in the aspect of affairs has caused considerable commotion. and the greatest activity prevails on both sides in order to be in readiness for the polling on Thursday, the nomination taking place this day (Wednesday). KivsAt.e.—The whole force of the repealer, will go with I Mr. Watson; his antagonist must " bleed " much if he . succeed. KERRT.—Mr. Cronin is declared not to stand for this county. The day of election will probably find the can , didatas limited to two—Mr. M. J. O'Connell and Mr. Her- best. LMBUTINP..—Capt. Meynell retires, and will be succeeded • by Sir H. B. Seymour. LINCOLN.—The day of nomination is fined for this day (Wednesday). Col. Sibthorp is considered safe, but is so far indisposed sta as to be unable to take part in the canvass. It is that his late colleague, Mr. Collett, has virtually withdrawn from the contest finding that ho has no chance. The conflict for the second seat seem' to lie between Sir Bulwer Lytton and Mr. C. Seely. It is to be hoped that Lincoln will do itself the honour of securing Sir Bulwe Lytton as a representative. I.arcesren.—Sir Joshua Walnisley has been well received by the electors, and has every chance of success. to a speech on Saturday evening explanatory of his opinions, he said, " I have been called a stranger to Leicester, an d therefore not entitled to claim your support. Nothing can be more unjust. For the last fifteen years, in conjunction with other gentlemen, I have supplied this town with coral from the Snibaton and Whitwick collieries ; and now what have I done that a cry should be raised sgair st me ? I first im ported corn for you when you could not otherwise have got et. sad then I supplied you with coal ! When I first brought coal to this town, what was its pike ? From Ifs. to 20s. per ton. hat has i been its price since ? From 10s. tolls. And what has been the saving to this town ? Why, about 400,0001. a year, or nearly half a million of money ; and is this nothing ? But I em called a stranger ! I have been called upon for these statements, because I have been termed a stranger, and I am compelled to make them, though they may expose me to the charge of egotism. A native of Liverpool, I have been an apprentice, a working man, and I have risen frem the lowest reeks to the position I now occupy. I have filled every office of honour in my native town—which is surely no slight recommendation to working men—and I ran safely say I have never been found wanting in the hour of trial. I have filled all the municipal offices in my native town • I have been chair. man of most of their committee s; and I have been tho chief magistrate of the amend town in the kingdom. In the address which I have Weed, I have touched on moat of those great principles which are likely to be agitated in the next parliament, and eke ea some of are those which I should like to see agitated mere they they at present—l seen the extension of the lemehier NA the vote by ballot.

I am not one who would wish to see the poet peaperimel—l am not one who wishes to me the pose man anntinually thrown upon the parish. But when misfortune, when old age or infirmity and sickness, come upon the working man. I think not only the laws of the country, but of philanthropy, humanity. and religion, demand that he should be relieved and sustained where hie misfortunes have fallen Rpm him. I utterly condemn the principle of sending a man Gem tids pariah to that—from North to South Wales, from lastoeldre to the Land's End—because he may have been born or have served his apprenticeship in a different parish from where he has passed the greater portion of his life. Where the tree falls, there it should lie ; and where the poor man wants relief, there should he receive it. But still better, I should like to see the poor man gat such wages that he might be enabled to lay by for his de dining years or the season of adversity—this should be the ease in whatever grade of life a man may be found. There is another question which I consider of vital importance to the well-being of the people—l mean the abolition of the game.laws. lem fond of sport. But most gladly would I give it up rather than it should fill the gaols—rather than indulge in an amusement at the expense of the poor man. It ia hard, indeed, when we go abroad and tee the poor man's garden-plot despoiled by game in order that the rich man's sport may not be interfered with. This is one of the questions on which I would wish to raise my voice with a view to procure its speedy end satisfactory settlement." MATO.—Mr. J. Browne, cousin of Lord Sligo, and for merly M.P. for this county, is, it is said, again in the field. His proceedings will not improbably hurt the chances of , Mr. Moore. Manenzerza.—Yesterday large placards were on the walls with en address , signed " J. Tomline," who professes I to come forward is the interest of church and state, and I says he shall be ready to address the electors in the course of a few hours. Up to the time our express left, however, he • had not " shown " in public, and tits address was thought THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1847. to have been the hoax of some person with more mcney than wit. NORTH LAACASTHRR.—The nomination is to take place at Lancaster on Tuesday, Aug. 3. It is said that a candi date will oppose the late members, in the person of Mr. James Heywood, banker. OLDHAIL—There will be • bard contest, it is said, be twesusfirc candidates—Maus. Pielden, Cobbctt, W. J. Fox, and J. Holliday, liberals; and Mr. Duncuit, tory.

Brown and Entwisle, the last-named gentleman being in the conservative interest. 801.:VIAMPTON.—The nomination for this borough is arranged for Saturday, and the polling will take place on Monday. The friends of the liberal candidates, Messrs. Cock burn and Willcox, are sanguine of success, and are fully pre pared for the light, which will be a stiff one, and is confi dently expected to terminate in the displacement of the late tory members. &roes-neon-Teeter. —A. third candidate has been announced at the eleventh hour, in the person of a Mr. T. P. Healey, who was one of the seven or right candidates for Stafford so late as last Friday, when he expressed himself confident of success. He was announced for Stoke on Mon day morning as a thorough free-trader. Mr. Healey is said to have the support of the anti-state church party, and oppo nents of the government plan of education. Mr. Ricardo, one of the late members, and a candidate for re-election, terminated hie visits to the different township' of the borough on Friday night. Alderman Copeland, another of the late members, commenced a limiter progress on Mon day. He avows himself a thorough free-trader, to the extent of abolishing customs and excise duties, and repealing the navigation laws. He is far removing taxation from industry to prop- rty ; for an alteration in the currency laws ; for national education; and for an extension of the outline, when the people are prepared far it by education. He advisee his friends to divide their votes with Mr. Ricardo. There is a general expectation that tke late members will be re-elected. The nomination is to take place to-day (Wed nesday). TTNEStOiITIT.—The returning officer his fixed Wednes day (this day) for this election. Mr. H. NI Waif', the old member, retires. Mr. R. W. Grey (liberal) is the only can didate. WARRINOTON.—The nomination is this day, and the con test between Mr. Alleaed and Mr. Oradell will, it is ex pected, be a close run for the one seat which the borough gives. . WtoLN.—The nomination is this (ley. The candidates are Mr. Thicknesse, liberal ; and Capt. Lindsay, tory, WAlliviCK.—Mr. Bolton King has withdrawn from the contest, having met with an unsatisfactory canvass. The re maining three candidates. Sir C. Dougles, Mr. Collins, and 1 Mr. H. Roberts, intend going to the poll • the result no douhtwill be in favour of the two former — ind eed, the latter' gentlemen has never canvassed the electors. The town is remarkably quiet; there have been no public meetings, and the only means of gaining knowledge of the opinions of the candidates is by personal conversation. The electors appear to have lost eight of the Education Bill. The nomination will take place this da t.: WORCEaTallatilitlC WEST).—Tharaday we It, the 6th of August, is fixed for e election of " two knights of the shire " to represent the western division of thin county.

Mr. Ponsonby has lust ground. IRELAND. DUBLIN, PULE Di. THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—Thin body met to-day. The numbers in attendance were very great. Mr. Collett, late M.P. for Athlone, was present. Capt. Broderick presided. The proceedings were not very animated, and thus were no new accessions of any importance. The rent, it was sup• posed, would be over 601. SCOTLAND. GLASGOW, JULY 9.5. Yon will regret to learn the precarious state of our distinguished independent divine, Dr. Wardlaw. The opinion of his medical attendant is that any excite ment—writing or preaching, or even discharging the ordinary pastoral duties—would endanger his life. The copastorate committee have applied to a reverend Mr. Smith, in Ireland, who made a very favourable im pression when on a visit here some months ago, to officiate in Dr. M'ardlaw's stead for a month or two. PROVINCIAL. FIRE IN LIN ERPO —YesterdayOL afternoon, at one o'clock, • fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Jobson and Co., oil merchants, &c., Carruthers street, Vauxhall-road, Liver pool, and from the highly 101 l tmmable character of the stock (chiefly rosin and turpentine), the entire premises were speedily in a blase. A few barrels only were caved ; but the precise amount of injury has not been ascertained. SUDDEN DEATH AT AN ELECTION MEETING.—A COT reppnndent informs us that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood, Bart., arrived at Halifax on Monday, to prosecute his canvass for that borough ; and that in the forenoon of that day he was to address the electors assem bled. Mr. Edward Ackroyd, one of the leading members of his committee, was appointed to introduce the right hors. gentleman, and as he was in the act of doing FO, he was seized with a sudden difficulty of speech, fell down, and expired in a few minutes. The event has thrown a gloom over the borough, as Mr. Aekroyd was much respected. MOSMOUTIISHIRE. COMMISSIONS BY THE LORD LIEUI ENANT.-11. M. Clif ford, Esq., to be lieut..col., vice Col. T. Lewis, deceased; J. F. Vaughan,' Esq., to be major, vice Lieut.-Col. F. Chembre, removed to the command of the Brecon Militia— of Monmoutlaahire Amt. SADLER'S WELLS.—Last evening Mies Rainforth made her appearance in a new character—that of director of the above theatre, for a limited number of nights, her ob. ject being the performance of operas of the first class. The series commenced on Monday with the "Sonnambule "—a good selection, as there are, perhaps, few operas among the old-established favourites which can so well stand the test of frequent repetition. We witnessed its performance last evening, when it was well received. Its success was well merited, by the admirable mode of its prodne ' tien. The company, without p ossessing any great strength or novelty, i s a folly e ffi c ient one. and supported the piece accordingly. Mr. Borrani ' Mr. Allen, and Mr. Horocastle were respectively the Count Rodolphe, the &ciao, and the Alessi°. Miss Rainforth played Amino, and Lisa had a representative in Miss R. Isaacs. As moat of these performers are not new in the parts, it is unneces sary to allude particularly to them—sufilce it that all contri buted to a pleasing and successful result, ett Drama. THE AMATEUR PERFORMANCES FOR THE BENEFIT or Mn. 1.1101( Hoar, at Manchester, on Monday night, went off remarkably well. The house was crowded la every part ; the boxes were overfilled, and the pit had to be con verted into stalls to make room for box company. Mr. Charles Dickens, en coming upon the stage to deliver an introductory address (by Mr. SmjeantTalfourd) was reeeived with overwhelming applause; and, in the play, Ben Jon son's comedy of " Every - Man in his Humour," the recep tion of all the amateurs was most gratifying. The %dim al Mews. Dickens, Douglas Jerrold, Mark Lemon, Leech, and Forster, called forth repeated plaudits, and was regarded as coming up to a very high standard of excellence. In the interlude which followed—" A Good Night's Rut " Dickens, as Ur. Snobbingeon, and Mark Lemon, as the Stranger, kept the house in a continued roar of laughter, from the rise to the fall of the curtain, and a Manchester audience probably never saw a farce better played. " Turn. ing the Tablet" was the concluding farce, in which Min Am Romer as Miss Knibbs, sing very sweetly, and Miss A. Wigan made an admirable Patty Larkins. Mr. Dickeu and Mr. G. H. Lewis also acquitted themselves highly to the satisfaction of the audience. The amateurs were then called before the curtain, and presented themselves in a body, to receive three hearty rounds of applause. It is thought that the proceeds will be upwards of 2001., after all expenses have been defrayed. CLERICAL.

Tan 0 RELY NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. —Tan COMPULSORY ENTERING ON LAND DT A RAILWAY COMPANY.—INJIINCTION—CONSTRIVTION OP SEC. 85 of 8 & 9 Vicr., C. 18 (ERE LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION Acr).—This was an appeal from an order of the Vim-Chan cellor of England, by which his Honour restrained the defendants from using for their railway a piece of land belonging. to the plaintiff in the pansh of Bt. Nary, Islington. The parties ' not being able to ayes upon the price to be paid for the land, the railway company, availing themselvesof the powers of the Lands Clauses Consolida tion Act, 8 & 9 Vict,, c. 18, s. 85, got* surveyor appointed by two magistrates, to value the land, and for the sum reported by him as such value (viz. 9501. ) , they executed a bond to the plaintiff, with condition that it should be void if they or their agents should, " on demand," pay the amount of such compensation as should be ultimately deter mined on to the plaintiff, or into the Bank of England to his credit. The 9501, was, at the mime time, paid by the company into the Bank to the account of the accountant general, and they immediately after took possession of the land, and were commencing their works, whereupon the plaintiff filed this bill for en injunction which the Vice-Chan cellor granted on the sole ground, moult many that were stated in the bill (see the report in the Daily News of Mon day and Tuesday), that the introduction of the words " on demand " into the bond was not in compliance with the 86th section of the Lands Clausen Consolidation Act. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Denison for the company, moved that the injunction be dissolved. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Craig contra. The Lord Chancellor, during the argument, observed that in tie construction of all those acts relating to railway', it would be better to adhere strictly to their proviaions. The introduction of the words "on demand " is the bond sub joined the obligors to an obligation, from which they could act &charge themselves until the obligee thought proper to make a demand. His lordship, at the conclusion of the ',gement, repeated that observation, among others. The beet thing, however, for both parties, in his lordship's opinion, would be to continue the injunction until the com pany gave a new bond according to the 86th section, alter which either party might apply to the court as 'deiced. Mr. Bacon applied for costs. The Lord Chancellor re fused the application, as he had varied the order appealed from, by stating reasons for continuing the injunction, which were not stated by the Viee-Chancellor. Before the Raster of the Boils. BRYROW O. MORIIIB.—LIABILITY or EXECETOIIS. This suit was instituted by Sarah Berrow, the widow of Joseph Barrow, who died in 1824, against the personal re presentatives of Joseph Morris, who was his sole executor. It appeared that Mn. Borrow was entitled to an annuity of 501. under her husband's will, and that in 1840 a suit was instituted by his residuary legatees against her and Joseph Morns, the executor, for an account of the testator's per. soma estate, as against Morris, and charging him with wilful default. The decree made at the hearing directed the usual accounts. The widow discovered in the Master's Office that Morris had suffered a sum of 3871., part of the testator's estate, to remain outstanding on the promissory note of a Mr. Romano, and also a mortgage for 1,0031. on some lease holds belonging to her, to remain uncalled in, by which neglect alma bad been sustained, and there wasnut sufficient to pay the annuity of 501. She thereupon filed *supplementary bill against Morris's representativee, seeking to have an nquery whether the loss bad arisen by his wilful default. It was admitted that Morris's estate would be liable if he bad been guilty of such default. But it was contended that a supplementary bill was an informal mode of bringing the matter before the court —The Master of the Rolls said he should cooaider the cases Cited as to the point of form ; but if be thought that under their authority the supplementary bill was irregular, he certainly should give the plaintiff leave to file another bill. Before the Viobtlasuseenor of England. BILITH O. TUB IPSWICH AND BURY RAILWAY COM PANY.—AORELMENT MY A COMPANY AS TO TAILING LAND. —The plaintiff, who is the owner of certain land at Thurston, near Bury St. Edmund's, filed this bill for specific per formance of an agreement entered into by him with the Ipswich and Bury Railway Company for the sale of a por tion of the land. The facts appeared to be these: that dreviously to the passing of the railway act an agreement was entered into between the plaintiff and defendants that the plaintiff should appoint his wens sur veyor to value the land required by the company, which amounted to two acres and a quarter. In pursuance of this agreement, a Mr. Payne was appointed the surveyor, and he valued the land at 2001. per acre, including severance, making 4501. Subsequently to the passing of the act, the company having decided that they would take only la. 3r. 7p. of the plaintiff's Land, which was within the limits of devia tion allowed by their act, entered into another agreement with the plaintiff that the same surveyor should make a fur ther valuation, and should state what ought then to be paid for the land, and what additional sum for severance. At a meeting held in pursuance of this agreement, in December, 1845, the surveyor's statement was, that 2001. should be paid per acre for the plaintiff's land, and 50 guineas extra for severance. By this computation, the sum amounted to 4111.105., which the company offend to pay ; but the plaintiff refused to take it, in consequence of his surveyor having stated that he had made a mistake in his valuation, and that the son which ought to be paid was 4771., on account of the increased damage by severance. Upon this the company took possession of the land under the compulsory powers of their act, and the plaintiff filed his bill against the company. —The Vice-Chancellor said it was evident that there had been two distinct agreements—one before and the other subsequently to the pawing of the act. By the latter agree ment it was arranged that the company should take the land at a certain valuauon ; and it had been contended that this ought not to stand, because the person by whom both parties had agreed to be bound had turned round and said it was a wrong valuation. His Honour thought that where a person made more then one valuation he ought to abide by the first, for otherwise he might go on changing his mind for any number of time.. lie thought, under MI the cir cumstances, that there had been a mistake, and be should, therefore, dismiss the bill with costs. Before Vice-Chancellor Wigram. DUKE OF BEAUFORT V. BIORRIB.—INJTKTTIOK.—His Honour delivered judgment in this case, the argument in 1 1 which was heard on the bth and 7th of June last. The bill was filed by the duke as tenant for life and the Marquis of Northampton as tenant in tail of the seignery of Gower and the manor of Kilvey, in Gtontorganshire, for an injunction to restrain the defendants, Sir John Morris and Mr. George Byng Morris, who are the owners of extensive cool mines in that district, from working or digging their coal mines in the manner and in the places described in the bill, and thereby alleged to be injurinus to the plaintiff's mines. An injunction which had been granted in January, 1846, by the Vice-Chancellor of England, upon motion, and afterwards confirmed by Lord Lyndhurst, upon appeal, bad been con tinued up to the present time; and the case was now to be decided in the usual way, upon the merits as disclosed by the evidence in the cause.—His Honour, after stating at length the complicated puts of the ease, and observing that the question whether the acts done by the defendants, and which were complained of by the plaintiffs, were attended with injury to the latter or not, was a proper question for • court of law, made an order that the bill should be retained for a year, and that the plaintiffs should, in the meantime, have liberty to bring such action as they might be advised, upon certain admissions which the defendants were to make, with a view to the trial of the action. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr, Cornell-stoner Holm - O. IN RR A. SOOION6.—AN OLD FlAT.—This bankrunt, de scribed as of the Strand, toiler, having now returned from Holland, at which place he bad been for some years past. came before the court upon application for his certificate, the fiat having been issued as far back as the year 1524. , Ilia Honour observed, that if it was the Simmons ho recol lected in the year 1824, there was no wonder about his not having applied for his certificate much sooner, and he was not aware that he bad passed his last examination.—The bankrupt swore that he had.—Mr. Lawrence, for the bank rupt, said that there was a great difficulty in this cue, inas much as the proceedings were lost. Every possible inquiry had been made for them but they could not be found.—He Honour said that there was no evidence of the bankrupt's having passed hislastexemination,and his Honour's difficulty in the case arose in consequence of his own recollection of it, in which thousands upon thousands of pounds were involved. —Mr. Lowrance then inquired of the bankrupt what was the amount of his failure ?-1 he bankrupt replied about 20,0001., and there was more than that sum due to him.--His Honour said that when the bankrupt was desired to hand over • large amount of property he stated that his brother had got it. It all vanished, an d there was not • farthing of assets for the creditors.—Mr. Lawrence then asked if he bad filed a balance-sheet ?—The bankrupt raid that he had, and passed upon it —His Honour said he could not certify things of which he knew nothing. The bankrupt, the learned com missioner remembered, had ordered Manchester goods to an enormous amount, brought them to London, and they all vanished to the brother, who resided In a room on a fourth floor of a house, paying rent at 2s. ed. or 3s. a week, and who was not forthcoming ; but the goods wall said to have been sent to Holland, and they were never accounted for. He (the learned commissioner) was convinced that Simmons did not pale, and that the last examination was adjourned sine die. Under such cffcumstinees he must decline to sign the certifi cate of this bankrupt. He considered that Simmons bad not made a full and true discovery of all his estate and effects. —Refusal to sign the certificate accordingly. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIItCUIT.-MAID STON!, :ULT 26. Civit Sum—Bents Mr. Baran Parke and i special jury. EDWARDS AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES, v. COOPER. ILLEGAL SEIZURE OF BILLS IN EXICHTION.—This action was brought by the assignees appointed ender • fiat of bank ruptcy against Thomas Young, nominally against the de fendant, who is the sheriff of the city of Canterbury, to re cover • samba, of bills of exchange, amounting in value to between seven and eight hundred pounds, and which bad been seised by him under an execution prior to the beak ruptcy. It appeared that in 1841 a person named Therma l Young, who at titration lived in London, married • widow named Mutton, a currier, at Canterbury, and he proceeded to carry oit the trade milli 1846, when he became ember: reseed, and one of his creditors took proceedings in bank ruptcy menet him. At the time of the marriage a Mr. Le pine, a watchmaker at Deal, and who, by the marriage, had become Young's brother-in-law, stood in the position of a trustee for some money that was invested in the business; and he held a judgment as security for the payment of that money. It appeared that directly the creditors began to take proceedings to make Youngs bankrupt,he went with Lepine to a person named Russell, who acted al • sort of law agent at Deal, and upon the representation that Young owed hint 8001. for money advanced, and for in I 0 U, pro ceedings were taken at the instance of Ruled! against Young, and no defence being offered, judgment and execu tion was obtained. Under that execution, and the one held by Lepine as trustee, the whole of the st ock in trade, fur niture, and every ether vestige of property, was swept away, so that the other creditors did not get a single farthing under the bankruptcy. 8o effectual were the proceedings of the parties to realise every vestige of property, that ire order to render the book debts, which were to • very con. eiderable amount, available, they induced the parties, in stead of waiting for the usual period of credit to expire, to give bills of exchange for the amounts of these respective debt., payable at a. long date ; and as it appeared that it was a pro ceeding contrary to the custom of the trade to give bills of exchange under ouch circumstances, the parties who objected to it were induced to consent by haring in some eases a por tion of their debt struck off, and in others an extended period given them for payment, and in the result the whole of the debts were transferred into the thane of bills of exchange and placed in a cash box. This box and its contents were seised by the sheriff under Lepine's execution ; and when the other creditors Came in they found that nothing remained for them. An application was made to the sheriff to give them up to the official assignee, but he declined to do no under the indemnity of the execution creditor, Lepinc ; and the present action, therefore, although nominally bronibt against the therik was in point of foot intended to try the question whether the proceedings between the bankrupt and his brother•in-law, with regard to tho alleged debt due to the latter, were bona fide ; or whether it wu not • fraudulent arrangement, made fur they:repose dm curies all the bankrupt's-property to his owe family and con nem:ions, in fraud of the other. auditoes.—blir. Chambers, at the close of the plaintiffs' case, took some legal objections to the form of the union, but they wero over-inlaid by the court ; and he then made a long and energetic address to the jury, for the defendant, urging that the transaction was hone fide, and that he had merely exercised his just legal right, and that there wu no evidence of anything like fraud in the transaction—Mr. Beron Parke haring gone through the evi dence, the jury deliberated fur some time, when t►ey re turned a verdict fur the plaintiffs, the amount of damages to be rendered nominal upon the bills in question being delivered up. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SIittEWSBCRY, JULY DI The pre: ure of business at Stafford detained the learned judges until a late hoer on Saturday ; the contequenee was the c,mminions were not opened here until the evening was far advanced. Both courts sat this morning. On the civil side there were only three causes entered. The calendar contained the names of 30 prisoners, el of whom, save G, might have been tried at the session,. Caowie COl:la—Before Mr. Justice Coleridge. THE GAME LAMB.—Joseph Wall was charged with having, on the 29th day of January last, at the parish of Acton Round, wounded Abel Martin, with intent to murder him. On the night of the 29th of January last the prosecutor, a gamekeeper, in the employ of Earl Granville, found the pi is sone,. in hismaster's preserves with a pheasant recently killed. He demanded that the bird should be surrendered. The prisoner refused, whereupon the prosecutor proceeded to arrest him for bring in pursuit of game upon his lordship's enclosed lands. A scuttle ensued; the pronocater struck the first blow with a life-preserver. The prisoner then inflicted upon his adversary's head and face several severe wounds of such a character as to place his life fur some time In jeo pardy. Prisoner, however, did not, it seemed, escape scot free ; for he was described is the Ilue aid Cry as severely wounded on the side of the head. On cross-ex ,urination it came out that Lord Granville was not the lord of the manor, but hadexercised the right of shooting over the locus in goo fir some years past; and this was held to show a sufficient prim& facie right to enable him to authorise the prosecutor to arrest, under the statute, persons having game upon their persons. —Mr. Huddlestone contended, on the part of the prisoner, that he acted se derendendo. The constable was the assailant. and was shown to have struck the first blow.—The jury Acquitted the prisoner. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exrren, MONDAY. Crown Corer—fletere Mr. Jiistkr CHARDS or PIRACY.—George Rose, John Hartdt, Richard Thomas Lacy, John 11'1%re, Robert Craig, Robert IVright, Daniel hl'Lectn, Charles Moffatt, Thomas Stratton, and James Nettles, were this morning brought up for trial on a charge of piracy. They pleaded not gritty. —Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Collier for the prosecution ; Mr. Poulden and Mr. Rowe defended Rose and Nettics; Mr. Slade a:peared for Stratton ; Mr. Stone, Mr. Jerwood, and Mr. Cox for the other prisoners. Mr. Cockburn, in opening the case, states that the prison ers at the bar stood indicted under a statute passed many years ago, but which was still in force, of a very salutary character. The act was the 11th aid 12th Will. 111., cap. 37, sec. 9, which enacted, " that if any seaman shall onfine his captain, or shall make or endeavour to make a revolt. shall be deeo. eel a pirate end a robber." The punishment, however, in that cane had been mitigated, sad was now reduced to transportation or imprisonmeid, hut otherwise the act remained in full force. He would now briefly relate the facts of the case : Ihe prisoners acre—two of them mates, and the others mariners, net board the ship James Campbell, a barque of some 300 tons burden, bound to Batavia and Singapore. The vessel sailed from Glasgow on March 6, under the command of William Graham, and everything went on eatisfectorily until March 29, when the vessel was off Capes Finiaterro. The wind blew a little fresh, and the mates and the men were engaged on deck in the general duties of the ship. Stratton was at the wheel, and the captain, who was on deck, saw something in his conduct which displeased him; he, therefore, spoke sharply to him, and told him to leave the helm and to go and grease the masts, which the captain thought was necessary to be done at that time Stratton, instead cf obeying these orders, as he was bound to do, preremptorily refused; and therefore the master ordered all hands Liven deck, and directed the mates to have the masts greased, and to order the men to do it. The men persisted in refusing to follow his directions, stating that it was the duty of the boys to grease the masts, and that therefore they would not. The captain told the crew that he would put them on short com mons. There was some beef cooking fir their dinners. and he ordered it to be taken aft ; but there was epee( mptory re fusal on the part of the men to give up the meat. The cap tain—finding that the mates, instead of end, avouring to as sist him in promoting subordination amongst the crew, were rather inclined to encourage them in their misconduct—saw that he must at once check this disposition to mutiny, or there would be an end to his authority. He then armed himself with a cutlass, and again desired the men to take the beef aft, saying, " The first man who dares to interfere I will cut him down." The men seeing that the captain was not to be triflederith, allowed the orders to be obeyed ; and the steward took the beef aft to the captain's cabin. The captain afterwards wont into his cabin, and had Lis dinner. In the meantine, believing he had done enough to assert his authority, the captain rettrned the meat to the men, and he supposed that there was an end of the matter. After the captain had had his dinner, however, he received • menage, stating that the men wanted to speak to him on deck. He went upon deck, and found all the men combined against him. They surrounded him, and one of them pinioned him, whilst others put handcuffs upon hies, lashed his legs together, and ordered him trlow. As the men were treating him in this manner, he :eked the mates, Rose and Harult, whether they wculd allow him to be so dealt with. They replied that they couldlit help ir, as the men had taken possession of the ship. The cap tain was then taken into the cabin, which the mats end steward had previously cleared out, by removing the fire arms, chronometers, nautical instruments, &c. The crew then altered the vessel's course and put her under the com mand of Rose. They never removed the irons except once, end then for the purpose of enabling the captain to change his clothes; and during the whole time a man was stationed at the door of the cabin armed with a drawn cutlass. Upon arriving in Plymouth the crew made some vaiplaint neatnst the captain, but the tables were turned, and it was considered absolutely necessary to brier( the prhoners to justice. These being the facts of the case, the question was, whether there was any thing to justify the prisoner, in the course they bad pursued ? He (Mr. Cockburn) need not impress upon the jury the absolute importance in a country like that, where so much depended upon • proper management of its maritime affairs, that the autlimity of wasters of vessels should be strictly obeyed. After some further remarks the lamed gentleman added, that the cargo on board the James Campbell amounted in value to I between 80,0001. and 40,0001. When, therefore, the captain saw that the men were disposed to mutiny, and to act in dishedieses te his commands, ho felt it was incumbent upset him to put a stop to such conduct, and, if necessary, to meet his authority by means of force ; and he was justified is vomiting to arms if the men showed • disposition to law lessness and disobedience. He did not, however, strike at =thei men ; be did not use his cutlets ; and when his were at last obeyed, he thought no more about the matter, but considered that subordination was restored. But after some three or four hours had elapsed, the men, following, as was supposed, the advice cf Rose, the chief mate (who had, it seemed, a lurking towards the captain), came to the resolu tion of deliberately taking the ship from the hands of the captain. The question then was, whether they were justified in this by any art of the captain such as would absolve and exempt them from the operation of the established law, which said that if men shall be guilty of confining their cap tain and of seising the ship they shall be punished as pirates and robbers. According to the law, grievances on the part of the men would not amount to a sufficient justification ; and in proof of this he would cite the one of The King o. Hastings" (Ist Moody's Crown Cases Reserved, p. 82). In this ease, the court held that " the object of the revolt must have been to seise the ship, and not merely to redress the grievancesof which the men complained." Therewas another end more recent case upon the subject, via., " M'Greepor v. Lambert" (let Carrington and Kirwan, p. 429). Prom this; sod*o preceding ease it very clearly appeared that no sup wall grievances would justify the crew in making a newt. a sleet, it was dear that nothing short of that immins rat eed overwhelming danger which would supersede all law astailljutify the crew in acting ws the prisoners had done. Met further commenting on the case blr. Cockburn said bra ahoakt all before them two boys who witnessed the tzaaaattfas.
