The Cheormmt—Was there a committee 1/I existence at the Celia/ for the purpose of superintending these elections? —Na committee except myself—myself and Mr. Brown. Tory were :he committee then ?—(Laughver.',—Yes, Brown acted with rue. Ie Brows a member et the Calton?—lie L not. . By Colobal Dickson—l could not take Brown into the Carlton. I cculd not take any gentleman who called on me in. I should take them into a private room, intended for the rervption of strangers not members of the club. That was me reason I took Brown there ; but the room is ao mare private or appropriated to me than any other in the club, tempt that at the time I mentioned. By the Chairman—lt was devoted to election purposes. (Laughter) Brown sat there during the general election when I was there. He left the club whin I did. lam not aware of his going there in my absence. I certainly did keep u .use there with my own papery in it. I did not ' make it an Pelee, and it was not called " Brown's Room." He was never a member of the club. It might have been called my rocm because I need it. Brown kept no papers there. I hot electioneering papers there, and Brown had access to the room when I wee there. There arc several ante•roome At the Carlton. The room we were in is not exactly a '• dark" room, but the balustrade comes up and ratlp r shades the light. Some of these rooms are used for washing toe members' hands. (Laughter) Brown has been writing in that room, but (pointedly addressing the committee) I really cannot see what this has to do with the inquiry, and I shall therefore decline to answer any questiou connected with the Carltoa whatever. (Laughter.) Thb, mid the gallant colonel, (producing a letter from his pocket), is I believe the order of reference to the select com mittee appointed to inquire into the circumstances wider which Its.: petition against the returnof the sitting members for Norwich has been withdrawn, and I will answer any questions with reference to that. Cal. Dickson (through the chair)—You have said that Mr. Forbes Mackenzie had nothing to do with the matter. Do you wit know that Forbes Mackenzie sent me down through the post a Truth, of pamphlets, directed to the committee rooms, Norwich, at which my supporters were Ter) much annoyed; sad I ask you whether you did not ask me, whoa I came beck, whether I had distributed the pamotilJts sent down to Norwich. C Foreseer—Yon ask me a question I decline to answer_ . . . . Col. Foreeter (exhibiting the letter in an official envelope, with a large black seal, and handing it to the eenunittee)— That u tho teeter that Mr. Forbes Mackenzie sent me from the Treasory requesting me to distribute the pamphlets. The ',Nett is to fix and associate Cal. Forester, Mr. Mac kenzie, and Mr. Drown together. Col. Fe I decline to simmer the question. A ormsiilerable pause here took place white thecoramittee steamed together. lee Chair inan—Cotenel Forester, has an objection to this question, hi:elfin he considers it irreleveut to the inquiry. The committee are the best judges whether it is relevent, end whether we require it to ascertain the truth. Colonel Forester—Well, I'm ia the hands of the eons- MEW. 'the Choir/non—ls there any breach of confidence in volved is answering it. Odour' koroeter—Not at all. I consider it has nothing tad., with the isquiry. The Chairman—Are you aware of the fact of Mr. Forbes Meek. nee seeding these pamphlets to Colonel Dickson to distribute ?—I am net aware of it. Neither do I know antibing of the pamphlets in question. They might lath gene down. 117 1:4100.1 Dickson—With refereoce to your questitsa as whether Brown kad the permission of Kitten or lot, that he of glit to have informed you that the petition we about to be withdrawn. I considered that the matter all lay between Kitten and Brown. I had nothing to do with the withdrawal of the petition. I kuow nothing about it, and was never asked upon the subject. I was told after it was withdrawn. By Mr. Brown—l ask the hen. member whether, being in coustaut intercourse with me, he ever heard me say etu des" approaching to showing an intention to throw over, or behave badly by, Colonel Dickson ?—1 n heard Brown say anything of the sort. By the Chairman—Have you ever had any conversation with Brown as to the withdrawal of the petition previous to its taking place ?—I have asked Brown what was going on. I have askod him several times whether the Norwich petition was going on, or what coon they were going to pursue, sad be told me that they were going on. I asked Colonel Dickson, whenever I met him, how hies petition was going ea, and he said he meant to persevere. Brown told me the petition was going on up to the period it was withdrawn. The Norwich people came to me for • candidate. I think it was Mr. Kitten who came. I know two or three gentle men came up, and I saw them previous to the election. Col. Diekson—Kitten did not come up. It was Means. Pattison gad Stewart who came up to the Carlton to get • second candidate to join Lord Douro. The Chairman—But you were not a member of the Carlton ? Dickson—But I was sent for, and I saw Mr. Stewart there, and I waited there while he went to Lord Douro. Mr. Edward Stewart is • solicitor, and one of the leading conservatives of Norwich. The Chairman to Col. Forester—Who caused these gentlemen to c.ime to you ?—Common rumour, I suppose— (laughter) ; I never corresponded with them. Coleman ru mour that I had the management and su perinten ling of these matters at the Carlton. That I was superintendiag the elections for the party. I believe Brown came tome on the subject of the Norwich petitions—Why did you interfere at all after the withdrawal of the petition—why did you mix yeunelf up with its withdrawal ? I did not. But why write these letters to appease Colonel Dickson ? Of meone I thought there coved be no good gained to anybody. —Not to the petitioner if the petitions were reinstated ? I thought there was no power to reinstate a petition if it had been withdrawn by an agent who wag authorised to with draw it.—That is a question whether Brown was an agent or not i I considered Brown an agent—the parliamentary agent, but I should not have :bought that Brown would have withdrawn the petition, unless under the instructions if Kitten, and Brown told me he had those instructions. By Colonel Dickson—You have stated that you never corresponded with goy influential persons at Norwich previous to the election with regard to the state of parties there. Will you say that you did not write to Kitten to get his opinion as to the state of parties, and as to the likeli hood of conservative candidates being successful at Nor wich ? I believe I did : I said I wrote to the boroughs sod ditErent places generally ; I have corresponded with most of the boroughs, asking them if they wanted can didate". By the Chairman and the Committee—l know no thing shout the " pairing off" of the petitions. Colonel Dickson came to me, as any other gentleman, and asked me if I knew of any seat, and I gars him the hest advice and information.—Do you think that tlko system of "pair ing " petitions is justifiable under any cireumatanees, whether in a good or a bad case ? I bad nothing to do with it.—But I ask you your °Palos, because you say if it was • good case it should not be paired. But suppose it was • bad rase, do yeti think it woul I be justifiable ? I think it ought to be withdrawn.—Tbet is not an enterer; is the system a good system in your opinion ? No, certainly not. —Don't you think it is a vicious system, and • bad prin iplo ? I don't think it is a good prin ciple, because I think if the petition is a bona fide petition, it ought to go in or it ought to be withdrawn. (Laughter.) You must do one or the other—on its own atern• ? Not with reference to any other petition.—Yoe said before that • petition in a good case ought not to he rompromiseil a Crrtsinly not.—Ought it to be compromised if it was a bad ease ? People make the best of • thrombi that they can for themselves. (laughter.)—lllow • bar gain ? Who with? They make the best terms for the withdrawal of the petition.—What are the terms you ap• prove of? 'I he terms fur the withdrawal of the petition; if it is • had ease it should not go on, if • good one it ought.—Bot do you approve of pairing" under any eir eunastatick I have nothing to do with " pairing." I never paired " a petitioe. I never entered into a com promise. " l'airing " never entered my head. I have heard of psrliamentary "gents " pairiog " petitions.—Do hyou think it a desirable system or a bad one ? Upon my onour—(dryly)—l have not thought about it. (Laughter.) Suppose brown had • had case and Cuppock a good one, would Coppek have power to compromise the bad against the good? With the mention of than who had given hits the authority for the petition; but in my opinion it is a wro:11 prior.' Ole. Mr..Thummond—Wrong or right, is it uniformly the system m• both sides ? 1 believe so. Mr. Lags , e. M.P.. was nest east:lined, but his evidence r u e et use g nut. to, of interest. Mr. Bentine;.'. M.P., was next examined by Mr. Brown —ls there any Found whatever for the insinuation that I had any object, direct or indirect, in withdrawing the pett non against your return, or that there wu any object of a I pecuniary character, u Colonel Dickson calls it, for the substnitisl motive ?—I will answer the question by repeat ing what my colleague has said, that I considered the I question an indelicate one, and that there was no fouudation for any inenuati in of the kind. I never had :he slightest communication with you on any subject eon- iiected with anybod's pecuniary arrangements, not even with my own. Did lever transact an atom of business for you or your Lazily to the best of your belief, and have I any reason to expect I shall do so as far as your know ?—tione whatever. (Loud laughter.) Colonel Dickson was then recalled and examined by the committee. The gallant colonel at the request of the committee entered into a rapid review of his political con nexion with " the patty." By the Committee—l felt a gratitude to Lord Derby be cause he ezpretsed an opinion that I bad been iWused, and I did not mind standing to support him. Tnat was the TMOU I sought a seat in parliament I was desirous of supporting his administration. I felt I had been ill-used by Lord they. Was the oliject of getting returned to par liament the getting the chance of an appointment ? No, I bad served for 20 years, mi , itary end civil, and I had the very highest ts.stimonials. I should have been content with an apppointment rather than have gone to narliament ; but people, I presume, have all got their motives in going into parliament. (Great laughter, in which the committee joined.) Mr. B. H. Brown was then examined by the Chairman. He wen: into a minute narrative of the proceedings in connexion with the Norwich petition, principally a reca pitulation of the points put to the witne”es in his Crum examination. He was at the Carlton with Colonel Forester gratuitously and not professionally. He had seen people with regard to boroughs and had answered letters, and had communication with every borough in England for years past. Letters were addressed to him at the Carlton on these subjects, and probably were 110 now. Did not transact any business in the Carlton. I wrote letters for Colonel Forester. Was at the Carlton more as a friend cf Colonel Forester's than as an agent in superintending the general elections for his party. %Vitae-se held the solicitorship of the India i board; it was given him in December. it was only 2001. a year, and excepting for the honour he was glint willing to resign it. From the first interview he had with Kitton he never imagined the petition would be prosecuted, and had Kitton's authority to withdraw it. Kitten expressed his objection to the Norwich petition being paired with the West Norfolk, but solemnly declared that he never directly or indirectly prohibited its being Tinted against any other petition. Ile had no doubt that the Norwich petition was a good one, and that any member of the House of Commons might have been unseated en such a petition. Ho was ashamed when he saw such petitions faikil. At interviews with Coppoek, Coppock entirely coincided with the view witness took about petitions. He proceeded to explain the peculiar arrangements that were carried out in practice between himself and Mr. Coppock with reference to the Middlesex, Gloucester, Youghal, and other petitions. They were to go together. He withdrew one set, and Coppoek another. Believed the Norwich petition, if presented, would have unseated the member. Understood there were immense tea pattiesven by P.to. (Mr. Suliser gi here denied this statement.) He pooh-la:oohed the cases of intimidation. I beg to state (said the witness) that I was sole agent in both petitions, and, as such, I withdrew them under the Bth section of the Election Petition Act of 1848 (11 &12 Vie ,e. 98, sec 8) ; and, if you will do me the favour to ask the examiner of recognisance', you will find that the only pen sons who can be recognised la this room as the agents far this petition are Messrs. Thompson, De ! lienham, and Brown. Ihey are the only agents the House' i of Commons can recognise as the agents fur this petition. Thought that petition was very much a speculation on the part of Kitton, whose full authority I ha to withdraw the petition. Kitton got it up. Admitted he had said he was sorry if he had done anything wrong, but it was an error i judg e Chment. Thairman—Why did you not say to at first ? There would have then been an coil of the case. Do I understand you now to say that you have erred, and that it was an error of judgment. Mr. Brown—l do not consider that I have erred. I would do it again under similar circumstances. After some further evidence the committee adjourned to Thursday. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, _1853. was expedient for the committee to adopt i n th e prosecu - I lion of the further proceedings, 10, under the wording of :he set of parliament, which he thought was defective, he t -,..,red some difficulty would arise unless they were care ful' 1 hero was nu lioubt that the electors of th e borough wets m :itled to a notification that they would be allowed to attend tht , enquiry by counse'. The comm. ttea adjuutned till 11 o'clock this day. CIRENCESTER. PONSONRY (MATZO. Yesterday. after fob :e discussion, tho petitioners withdrew, and the etwamt:rca declared Mr Possomby elected. THE RAILWAY ACCIDELIT AT WILLINOTON. N E wcurrug. ox-Triss, MONDAY. The inquest on the body of WLI. ~ident on the Tyne- Stephenson, en ' gineer, whu was killed by the recent ac. Tyne mouth Branch of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Rail way, near Willington, was resumed this Any, before Mr. Red, coroner, when Robt. Horn, the inspector of the penmen Int way, was recoiled and examined. Ile stated that in repairing the line,ballut had been placed between the rails si here the ac cident occurred; it might be floe 3 inches above the height of the rails, but quite clear of the flanges of t,he wheels. The rails were in a slippery state, owing to.the frost and mow, and he thought the wheels of the engine • meld be more liable to get off the rails on that account. John Goulden, the flagman at the Willington 'educe, was also exsmined, but no new feet bearing upon the cause of the accident was elicited. The inqunt wu again adjourned till Wednesday, in t telt week. MILITARY. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZITTR. WAR-OFFICH, ISlLacm 15.

COURT OF Banks Ma. Ise se 011011.01 MAILSH.—CASI OF ABSCONDING. This was the last examination meeting. The bankrupt was a draper, of Carnaby-street, Regent-street. Mr. Ashunt, jun., for the assigner., stated that the accounts were not tiled, the books not being forth 00111111e. The bankrupt had absconded is January of the present year, and iu the early part of this month the as signees received information that he was at Bristol, await . . mg the arrival of the Agnes Blaikie, in which vessel he intended to take his departure for Australia. The messen ger (Mr. Cooper) of this court immediately started in pursuit, and after some considerable trouble, succeeded in discovering him at a small village near Bristol. Sumo property of bankrupt's was lalso taken from the ship, other property being too far in the bold thee to be got at, but the owners of the Agnes Blaikie, Messrs. Dobbin and Co., of Bristol, to whom a notice had been given, said that they would return the pro perty so soon as the vessel arrived from Melbourne. The result was that there would be sufficient to pay the expenses and upset the nefarious frauds contemplated by the bink rapt and his confederates. It appeared that the bankrupt had arranged to hand over all his property to another party, who was to join him at Bristol, and then proceed together to Melbourne. The bankrupt when arrested offered no resistance, and since he had come to town, he had rendered every assistance to his assignees. Although the confederate had sworn in this court that he had advanced the bankrupt large sums of money, he now admitted that that statement was a faSrication. His (Mr. Aahunt's) object in bringing this subject before the court was, there being so malty cases of absconding by bankrupts with their creditors' property, and likely to be more, to teach bankrupts that they could not treat as nought the process of this court, and that it will be useless for them to avoid arrest, particularly after such so arrangement as had been made in this ease with a confederate, who had, in fact, committed perjury. His Honour said it would be well for the bankrupt te make all the reparation in his power. It would be useful to persons to know that within the last fortnight there had been some balf.dosen cases of arrest by the officers of the court. Trader, did not very often take the steam-packets, and it would be very likely that when they got to Melbourne, instead of meeting the " diggings," they would meet a warrant of arrest from this court. The solicitor for the bankrupt appiit I for an allowance. His Honour—lfe must have subsistence—merely sub sistence, if the estate will allow it. The case was then adjourned for six weeks. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAY. Biros. lan Cant+ CONNUOVIONRS. IN THE MATTER OT CHABLIS UIidDELL.—E,74TRAOHDI- NARY SOSXII. This case again oc•mitTedheagii the whole day, and to wards the conclusion an extraordinary scene ensued. The insolvent had for a number of years kept the well-known tailoring establishment, at the corner of T ottenham-court road, opposite Nieux's brewery. At the beginniag of last year he was a man of capital, and throug s n assistin,t his son and partner. Austin and Ilbsdell, he he 1 become insolvent. Austin had decamped to Australia V ith money belonging to:the firm which he had collected, an d t h e eon was in the same prison as himself. lie considered that he had been deceived by Übadell and Austin. • There were six counsel in Opp' .inti in to the application for discharge, Mr. Nichols, Mr. Dowse, Mr. County, Mr. Luca., Mr. Barnard, and Mr. Ernest lt,:cd Mr. Cooke, with Mr. Sargood, supported . The investigation was a very 'emir one, occupying nearly two days. Towards the. red of the second day a point which had been raised on the previous day, whither the arrest was a friendly Ista:sienna, was brought to a termina tion. The insolvent was nadir examivation by Mr. Reed, and on being asked whether the arrest ear nut a friendly one, made a pause. The Chief Commissioner gate him a solemn warninp, and besought him to tell the truth. Thu insolvent said he could not soy that it was not:friendly. Tito Chief Commissioner told him he was a very foolish num. Was it not a friendly arrest? The tamoireat admitted that it was a friendly arrest. HUDDERSFIELD. Na. STANIIPUILD UNSIIIATED. Shortly after the committee met yesterday morn ing, the room was ordered to be sleazed. When the public was again admitted, The Chairmen road the following decision of the com raittee "That Mr. Stanyfleld was not duly elected to serve as a burgess is the present parliament at the last election for the borough of Hud , lerslield. "That Mr. StausSela mu, by his agents, guilty of bribery and treating at the last election for the borough of Hod derelleld. _ . _ " That it ryas proved to the committee that William Rad ford. •publican ; Daniel Dodsou, a publican; and Jacob Senior, a publican, were each of them bribed by colourable payments in their bills for the last election of the discounts taken after, and from their previous bills for the last elec tion but one. . . . . . „ That Joseph flalliwell was bribed by obtaining for his nephew, as a condition for his vote, three 24.ga110n cases of ale, a portion of which his nephew gave away among the electors, on the day of the election, and the remainder of which he sold at a profit. ” That the treating throughout the borough during the last election was general, systematic, and entravagant in its ammeter. . . " That between 60 and 70 public-houses at the last else don were "opened by the agents of the sitting member. That refmhtnents were provided apparently without limit, and paid for without inquiry. That the expense incurred on that account alone amounted to upwards of 1,0001., and that, so far as these cases were separately examined into, it appeared that the only persons who were furnished with orders to provide such refreshments were, with one excep tion, registered elector'. " That it was not proved to the committee that either the bribery or treating above alluded to were committed with the knowledge or consent of the sitting member. " That the committee think it right to submit to the cow sideration of the house that the system of treating above alluded to, and which appears to have prevailed for some time in the borough of Huddersfield, must have the effect of exercising an influence over the minds of the voters as corrupting and debasing as direct bribery." Mr. Rodwell then, on the part of the petitioners, applied for the coats of the inquiry since Thursday last, on the ground that the opposition to the aliegations of the petition since then had been frivolous and vexatious. Mr. Piekenog, on behalf of Bundleld, opposed the motion, which the committee, after hearing some further arguments, refuse i to grant; ri fusing likewise an applica tion made by Mr. Pickering fur the costs as regarded the scrutiny. The committee then rote. SOUTHAMPTON. Yesterday, on the re-assenibling of the committee, • witness named Pocock was called to contradict Warren's ease with re spaet to his having been bribed by Sir A. Cockburn by the change oat of half-a-crown. Mr. Sharp, jun., and Mr. Harman, were also examined, end entirely centre-dieted Warren's story. Mr. Andrews, late mayor of Southampton, was next ex amined as to the various charges of partiality which had been made against him by some of the witnesses for the petition. He caused a good deed of amusement by the em phatic, straightforward ?canner in which he gave his evi dence. He strongly repudiated all motives of partiality in his conduct. The witness also contradicted most positively the statement of Langford, that ►e had promised to get him the situation of harbour-muter if he would vote for the sitting members. He also contradicted the statement of Marten that he (witness) had taken Oakley to the poll and had asked him to vote for the sitting members, telling him that it would be all right. John Oakley stated that he had never seen Me. An drews on the day of polling except for about half a minute. Two other witnesses—Levi and Phillips—were also called to contradict the statement of Langford. After the examination of some other witnesses, The committee adjourned to this morning. NEW WINDSOR. Yesterday, several witnesses were examined as to the alleged treatirg on the part of the sitting member. John Vis, an eating house keeper in Windsor, said he was at the William the Fourth public-home on several oc casions, before and during the election week, and he there, with others, had supper on those coca-Sons. This wituese seemed, by his own account, to have had a very jolly time of it, enjoying a continual round of good 'uppers, with wine aol cigars, and never paying for anything. He supplied at his own louse 2B men who carried the elution placards tor Lord Charles Wbilodey, with meat. Thinks the order for his doing so came from Mr. Voules. lie sent in a bill of 231. I Is., in which was included his own expellees for going to Guilford with a home and cart, to Lech a voter named Bidwell. Mr. Maunder/4 told him to go fur &dwell, and said they had 2,000/. to pay the expenses of the election, and it was all at Mr. Voules's command, and that he (Maunders) would guarantee Bidwell 61. that time (as Sid well had grumbled at what he got on a previous occasion) and his expeume. The witness also spoke rif another valet named Clymer, whom he hal induced to ante on the au thority of Mr. Maunders promising him a suit of clothes. This closed the case for the petitioners, and The committee adjourned to this mornitig. RYE. Yesterday this committee was appointed to bit and proceed with a farther inquiry, but in Lon,rquence of there being only three members present, the Chairman (Sir J. Pskington) stated that they could not proceed to busi ness, and that he should report tho ab‘enee of the other members to the house. lio, in the nt‘ anthem, intimated to Mr. Alezawder, Q C., for the paitioners, that he would await the law dawn of the WOWS WA the somas it A question wu then started as to whether the 2.51. alleged to be owing to Mr. Murrell, who ha•l arrested him, and into whose hands the inso!vent had placa.d his lease, had been advanced.

Two detainers had been lodged spinet the insolvent after the petition. Mr. Caerteen said the ir solvent on the previous day, had mows that it was not a friendly arrest. The Chief Commissioner, addressing the insolvent, told him to feel shame, and grieved at what he had done. The ineoleeut,who seemed much concerned, said : " What was Ito do. I had not a shilling in the world." Ho Honour declared that for thirty-three years he had occupied that scat, he had never steels more persevering cue of perjury.

This case—whieh in ouch a variety of shapes has so re peatedly been before the public —it was expected would have been tinslly got rid of at these assizes, by the indict ment against John Broome, who was charged jointly with Staden and James, who were convicted at the last summer essizes with a conspiracy to cheat and defraud Hamp, the prosecutor, would be disposed of. Baron Alderson, however, said he should certainly not try it at that period of the sve.isn. It was his duty, in the e 'lest instance, to deliver the gaol, and he would not put the aunty to the expense and inconvenience of detaining all t h e • witnesses in the cases that acre in the calendar while this ease, which must necessarily occupy a very consider 'lute, was being tried. He added, that if the indictment spaced of at all at these assizes, it must he at the end theolbf.alsei business , ; but he suggested, that no inconvenience would at iso if the trial were postponed to the summer assizes.

Robert Drew, 28, and 11 - Winos Andrews, 28, were charged with him iarr, on the 25th of November last, at Womenley, Monks. asly shot at John Mitchell, with intent to murder him. The occurrence at 050 Out of an encounter between a party of poachers and Lord Ilawkes's gamekeepers and as sistants.

Sentence of death was recorded against Drew, and An drews was sentenced to lie transported for fifteen years. THE POLICE COURTS. WORSHIP• STREET. Jnines ['bade was charged with cruelty to an orphan 3 years of age. 'this prosecution was instituted by the pariah authorities. The child in question was one of four who were deprived of their parents by cholera, and the accused was his uncle. Witnesses deposed to frequent act/ of cruelty. In particu lar, on the evening of the 26th ult., the child not having lamed some lessons which the prisoner had appointed to it, was stripped, placed face downwards on a table, and beaten till its back and the lower part of its person were lacerated and covered with weals. A relative expostulated, but his interference was resented, and the outrage was re peated next Lay.—Remanded. THAMES. Captain E. I'. Brz.none, commander of an Australian passenger ship, the Chowringee, was summoned by three of his seamen for wages. The case dialoged some curious Gets. On arriving at Port Philip, the hands, 41 in num. bar, deserted, leaving the captain with only the three mates,' the carpenter, and a boy; the ship was detained four mond* by want of hands, and at last the captain had to pay, in a&vance, for every ordinary seaman 301., and six able seamen 501., and 551. for the ran borne. The wages thus paid to seamen and labourers in the port amounted to 1,2001., and the captain after exhausting the funds re ceived from passengers, had to borrow money in the colony at from 12 to 15 percent. The three complainants who had deserted were received beck, forgiven the penalties they had incurred, and received 301. to come back with the ship. They uow alleged that the 301. bore no relation to their wages, but was simply a dauccur. The magistrate could not take this view of the case, and the summons was dismissed. MARKETS. COTTON.—Lrxisroot., Maucu 16.—The market closed steadily, and with some cheerfulness , . There was more busmen in pricer, which have undergone no change since Friday, and lens pressing to sell on the part of holders. The sales amounted to 8.000 bales-1,000 for export, and 2,000 on speculation. They comprise 400 Pernam. and Maranham, at sp. to 61d.; 50 Bahia, at 61 • 300 Egyptian, at 6d. to 71d.; 400 Surat, at 31d. to 41d.; 50 Sea I Islands. MAIIICHUTER, MARCH 16.—The firmer upeet of the Liverpool market, combined with favourable accounts of commerce telegraphed in snticipation of the India mail, have had the effect of checking the downward tendency of prices end giving a little more steadiness to the market. Some of the buyers, in whose hands orders had accumu lated, have operated more freely than of late, and prices which were refused for 30's mule and 20 water twist last week have been conceded—the latter selling to-day at tijd. and the former at 91d. per lb. In 40 inch India ihirtiigs there has been rather more doing and steadier prices, but houses in other branches report but little alteration, and give long cloths, T cloths, and domestics as without change. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lmtns, Minot 15.—There has been about an uvual Tuesday's market to-day, and a fair average business done. WOOLS.—HUDDIRIWIZLD, March 15.—We have no change to note in this branch, Wools still moving gradually off, and prices remain firm. MANUFACTURES.—IIuDDELSrtILD, March 15. The supply of goods brought to market this morning was very scanty, in consequence of many of our manufacturers making to order ; but for choice, which the market afforded, a good busineu Las been done. A law light goods in pat terns adapted for the coming MIMI were shown, and readily found buyers. CORN.—IIor r, March 15.—Our farmers brought a good *apply of Wheat, and for best runs of red we had a pretty fair sale at a decline of la. to 2s. upon the prices of last week. Our millers were paying 445. to 465. for such descriptions, 631bs. Only • slow sale fur foreign, and nothing offering from shipboard. A short supply of Bar , ley, and the market without alteration. Oats dull. Bar ley and Peas much the sane es last week. The Linseed so lung on the passage from the Black Sea is now arriving freely. The market is ls. to 21. lower, but the bulk of the supply is fur crushers' account. Linseed Cakes may be bought on easkr terms, owing to the mildness of the weather and decline in value of other feeding articles. Nothing doing in Rapeseed, and in Cakes the business is very retail as yet. Imports from March 5 to 11: Wheat, 180 qrs.; Beans, 40; Peas, 12; Tares, 0 ; Linseed, 4,500 ; Oil Cakes, 13 tons. LIZDS, bloucti 15. The supply of wheat is fair this week ; the reduction in prices causes less desire to sell ; nevertheless, from the inactivity of demand, sales are made at rather declining rates from Friday, and fully ls. from this day week. Barley is steady in price if fine, other sorts neglected. No alteration in oats, shelling, beans, or other articles. Arrivals this week. Wheat, 7,547 qrs. ; Oats, 474; Barley, 2,263; Beans, 819; Pcu, 309; She'- , ling, 40; Rapeseed, 1,516. - . LtvanrooE, MAnett 16.—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, with several buyers from a distance ' and a large business might have been done in wheat and flour had holders been die posed to take the low prices lately current; however, more money was insisted utson and where sales were made the depresion noted on k ricily was generally :recovered. French flour did not participate in the improvement, and must be quoted Is. per sack lower on the week. Oats and oatmeal met with an extremely slow sale, and a decline of d. ,ter 41 lbs. and CA. to 9d. per load was submitted to. Earley, beans, and pease, were in fair telly:At at late rates. Indian corn on the spot was only in small demand, and fully Is. per quarter lower for white. Carepiee arrived off the coast were more inquired for, and sales were effected at 31s. Gd. per quarter for Galati and 0 leas, and 295. Ga. per quar:cr for Ibraila, cost, freight, and insurance. Arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn from March 8 to March 14, inclusive: Wheat,. ns 6,817 quarters; Barley, 1.032; Malt, 4,424; 0at5,,780; Bea, 571; Peas, 14: Milian Corn, 4,942; 4 atmeal, 11,797 sacks; Flour, 15,:152 inks, 50,110 barrels.

LYNN, March 16.—We have had a much smaller supply of Wheat here to day, condition very bad, and le. per qr. lower. Sesretly any other grain at market, and prices without alteration. Wheat, old, 621bs. to 031bs._, 475. to 495. per quarter to the growers ; best, new, 581bs. to 591 h.., 41e. to 43..; ditto, runs, sdlbs. to 581h5., 3.55. to 395.

NEWCASTLE-1' CON•TVN It, March 15.—Tho weather, which last week gave indications of becoming more settled, , hu again changed for the worse. Last night we had a , deal of rain, which will sadly interfere with field-work in _ . general. At our market this - morning we had a fair show of Wheat from t' .c grawirs, and, its condition being indiffer ent, sales proceeded rlowly, and hroriour rates were with didieulty sustained. In South Country er foreign few tr..u‘actions transpired ; for 3-yea n-old Strahund IScper qr., 631 be., could cot be exceeded but holders generally were disinclined to accept such a price for prime old foreign of a more recent importation. Flour is in a state of complete stagnation, and where sales are effected very irregular prices must be accepted. In Rye not much stirring : Fine malting Barley is fully as dear, but any other descriptions the turn easier. In Malt little doing. and the same may be said of Beans. Boiling Peas must be written Is. per qr cheaper, but at this reduc tion the demand was good. Blue qualities in slow request, and all but the beet varieties are Is. to 2s. per qr. lower ; the present value of the latter varies from 355. to 385., whereas choice white breakers may be quoted from 40s. to 42.. per qr. respectively. Osts are still tending downwards, with only a limited inquiry. CATTLE. SALISBURY, March 15.—We were thinly supplied with Beasts, and the quality of the greater part was inferior to those of our late market; the attendance of buyers was also rather limited, and the trade for the cearser sorts was .dull; but we hear a great many purchases were effected last evening at the currency of this day se'nnight. Although the prices for Beef are receding, there was no quotable variation of prices. A clearance was effected for the best prime Devon then, but of fatted Cows ani Heiler, many remained unsold. The supply of Sheep, for the sea son of the year, was moderate, and there being still a good demand, everything was disposed of at the extreme rates of last market; but we understand there is no likelihood of • further advance. In the Pig market them was a fair sup ply, and s large amount of business was transacted at a slight improvement in value. There was a good supply of Calves, which sold well, at prices according to sire and quality. Carman Veal sold at 3s. Bd. to 4s. Rd. per Sibs. A good number of mulch Cows, with Calves, were on offer, which sold malerat, ly well. Best Ox Beef, 10s. per score ; second-rate, 9s. Gd.; cow and heifer, 7s. to lia. Down Mut ton, 71d. per lb.; second-rate, 6!d. to 7d. Veal, fal. to cid. Pork, Gd. to G}d. per lb., and 9s. to 10s. per score. Bacon, green, per lb., 7d. to 71d. ; dry, Bd. to 9d.; ditto, per score, 9s. to 10s. Green Pork, 61,1. to 71d. Store l'igs, IGs. to 30s. each. Cows, with Calves, 91. 10s. to 121. 10s. INDIA AND CHINA MARKETS. CALCUTTA, FEIL 5. In our export market, sugar has been quiet during the past fortnight, and operations in it have been chiefly con fined to the lower kinds of new date. Refiners, deterred by the high rates required, are not yet at work on the raw material. 1,445 mds. of raw silk have been exported to Great Britain during last month : the article is in eager inquiry. Filature silks have been contracted for at 12 to 14 Rs. per seer, and comparatively high prices have been paid for native produce. A fair quantity of Corahs (59,209 pieces) have gone forward to Great Britain in January ; of late the demand has abated, owing to holders requiring an advance of two to three rupees, to which only a few parties have been found to submit. The export of saltpetre to Great Britain during the same period has been 45,747 mds. The demand for this salt has fallen off, and its value has declined about 2 annas per md. Rice has also been sent to the same market in large quantities. The exports in January amount to 2,91,757 mds. The finer kinds of Jute are nearly out of the market, but the middling qualities are taken up with avidity at full priced. The crop is Noted to be a short one. Turmeric is regaining favour: 2.717 Inds. have been sent to Great Britain and 5,871 to France in January. We regret that we can report no improvement in our import market, which remains depressed. The MONEY MAILKET keeps well supplied. EXCHANGE, after the date of our last report, rose to 2-1 t and 2.11, although a few transactions have transpired on better and some on worse terms. Drawers are now unwil ling to part with their paper at the above rates, while re mitters are holding out for them. At going to peon very little had been done,and it remained undecided which party would give way. Faxicaurs declined a little, but are again much as they were. Our quotations now are-31. 2s. Gd. to 31. 55., salt • petro ; 31. 7s. Gd. to 31. 10s., sugar ; and 41., rice, to London. CANTON, JAN. 25.

IIotAnEAD lIARBouR.—Loss OF Two LIVES. — Another of those melancholy acrilents which have of late been so frequent at the New Hirbour Works of Holyhead has just occurred, by which two lives have been sacrificed. In consequence of the damage done daring the late gale, an old line for the purpose of " tipping " had been adopted I instead of the usual one, which bad been rendered in effectual. Two loaded waggons and en ensue were pro ceeding on this line with the usual number of men, when the stage gave way, and all were precipitated into the sea. Boats from the harbour were instantly sent to their assist ance. All but the stoker were rescued. Of these, one breaksman, named Peter Wynne, was taken up insensible, and died soon after. The stoker is supposed to have been buried bereath the staging. A diver wu sent in search of the body, and drags were employed, but hitherto they hue proved of no avail.
