"Latest advice.," as the phrase goes, state that Mr. Batmen's canvas* has been commenced, and Mr. Barbour's continued ; and that, for so far, there can be no comparison of the amount of favour shown by the electors. This was only to be expected from Mr. Bsrbour'a strong local coanexica and family claims on the good will of Lisburn. Captain Ward is now spoken of as very unlikely to come forward at all, leaving the ground to Mr. Barbour and Mr. esteem, between whom the electors of Lisburn eight to have no dirnculty or hesitation in choceing.- Pcrthern Whig. THE REPRESENTATION OP TOTNES. -0-- The writ arrived in Totness on Wednesday morn hi& and was proclaimed in dee form. The mayor has fixed the election for Monday next. The nomination will take place at the busting* on the Plains. It seems pretty certain that both Mr. Seymour and Mr. Dent will go to the poll. la that case the polling will take place on Tuesday. Mr. Sey mour has completed his canvass of the electors, and ha and hie friends express themselves to be per fectly satisfied with the result. In an address issued on Wednesday, Mr. Seymour assures the electors that his reception has been so satisfactory that he frets coofident of being triumphantly returned a repreeesta tive in parliament. Mr. Dent has seen most of the electors, and intends to remain in Totnes and see the whole. He is ie betty health, and be and his friends profess to be satisfied' with the prospect of Mr. Dent being sent to par liament to Ell the seat vacated by the late Lord Gifford. Mr. Ednioods, on behalf of Mr. Dent's committse, issued an address to the electors on Wednesday, stating that a re ? port had readied Mr. Dent's committee that " Mr. Thomas e Michelmore, the Doke of Somerset's agent, on Wedeesday angrily demanded the support of certain of the duke s' tenantry for Mr. Alfred Seymour, the duke's second nominee. under threats of eviction and other coosequeoces." To these threats Mr. Edmoods says our answer is a very simple one, " We publicly pledge ourselves to reinstate is equally good Led within this borough any voter who may by any possibi lity be dispossessed for the free and conscientious exercise of hi franchise at the memos election ; and we pledge ourselves that Me. Michelmore's threats epos the present occasion am • mere ecarecrows," as he knows the interference of a peer in the election of the tomboys of the House of Commons is illegal and unconstitutional. He adds an exhortation to the I electors to " record their votes for the man of their choice h , sad conscientious approval, whether that roan be Dent or Beynnier," and bids them " fear ne threats, laugh at inti midation sad bagbesr menaces, and rely upon the protec tion of their tras-keerted conservative candidate-4 man who never vet failed his friend or feared his enemy."- 1 Wirier* droning Hem I EXPORTS TO FRANCE, roe MI 111X11MN 1108111111 =DINO NOV. 30, 1862, OOMPAIED WITH TWO PIZCZDII6O TEAR. ---- .

(Wore Vioe•Chenoellor Woad.) THI IARL OF ROMONT r. AZT. SIR C. DARELL, BART. After disposing of • few motions of no public interest I this cue was proceeded with. The entire day was taken up with reading affidavits and the depositions of witnesses in support of the statement made on behalf of the plaintiff, and reported in our yesterday's impreesion. Nothing beyond that stale , meet, twisted and turned in every possible way, told from the commencement, recited from the middle I —with an after-glance at the begioning—recapitulated backward., could be made out of the confused and intricate jumble which has been dispensed in court to-day. In fact the only noteworthy feature of the sitting has been the aspect of the strangers in the court. Rumour has gone abroad that • great case is occupying Vice-Chancellor Wood, having about it some little romance, and not • little scandal. The idle world of the town having, from the perusal of sensation novels, acquired •teate for the romantic, not to say the scandalous, h has hastened down to col , -101), where , first di s covering with much trouble and many inquiries, the precise locality, it has in the early morning seated itself, fresh, clean, sod expectant, in the back rows of Vice-Chancellor Wood's court. At first it is all attention— perhaps a little discouraged at the subdued murmurings of one learned leader and the plethoric utter ances at another—but, by degrees, es the gentle current of on. affidavit follows that of another, it teems some of its interest, gapes about the court, and wooden what is the prevailing colourof the barristers' heads of hair when their wigs are off. After • while, even this and like kindred and elevating studies fail to amuse, end by the time that the cue is well under way, it is in a sweet slumber, which is ' only broken by the occasional sparrings of counsel on abstruse points of evidence, or the loud calls which the ushers make for silence whenever the judge is speak,ng, with the view, as it would appear, of totally preventing his ' observations being heard. At the end of the day, if be is a persevering man, earlier if he is not, the spectator plods wearily away, drowsy with frequent naps, limp with the heat, grubby with the dirt of the court, and, worst of all, without having been able to hear much or to understand anythiag of the case which has given him so much trouble. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.-JAN.IS. Sittings in Buico.—(Before Juatioss Wightmiui, Cromp ton, and Mellor.) TILE NETEOPOLITAN lOW OF NOW O. GLOSSOP AND Mr. Raymond moved for a rule calling upon Mr. H. IL Glossop and Mr. J. R. Hogarth, two of the justices for Middlemex to show cause why • mandamus should sot commanding them to issue their warrant to enforce a rate made by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The qncstion turned on the 180 and 181 sea of the 18 aid 19 Vic., chap 120, the first Metropolis Local Managemsat Act (1856). When the act passed the liabilities and the powers for making rates possessed by the old Commissioners of Sewers were transferred to the Metropolitan Board of Works. The districts of the two boards were, however, different, and it was in regard to the outlying district of taxing that he DOW moved ; and the question was, whether under the act, the overseers having refused to make and collect a rate under • precept directed to them by the Metropolitan Board of Works, the board could appoint • Far son to wake and collect the rate. The person so appointed by them bad regularly made and published the rate, and on his going before the magistrate fora warrant to enforce the rate, he was met with the objection that the board bad no power to levy the rate on account of its illegality. Mr. Justice Wighturan said it was a point well worth eon- sidenition. Rule granted. - - - Mr. Brett, Q.C., with whom was Mr. QUaill, said this was an action tried at Liverpool, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages M. He moved for a rule for • new trial, on the ground of misdirection and that the verdict was sgainst evidesee. The defend ant pleaded not guilty and • justification, and the juti6cation, the learned counsel contended, was proved. ' The plaintiff is the son of a deceased Liverpool merchant, and possessed of considerable property. The *iota! was very food of mono, and played the cornet, and be joined the band of the Sid Denbigh Volunteers. He was ac cordingly sworn in, and the oely difference made between him and the other member was that he was allowed to play • silver cornet Mated of • brass one, and to have an additional quantity of lace on hie uniform. (Laughter.) The plaintiff was in the habit of taking the band out of town in uniform, giving them champagne and other liquor, which naturally resulted in intoxication. It was the usual practice for the band to head the corps, and play through the streets of Denbigh, on the way to parade. be one occasion be had given the bandmaster so much to drink that he was unable to take his place at the head of the band, and "strike up" when the band was to play. (Laughter.) The plaintiff, however, took his place at the heed of the band, but declined to "strike up," and when remonstrated with by the officer he still refused, and the consequence was the corps marched Burro& the town in silence, instead of to the strains of martial music. The con duct of the plaintiff was so bad that it was brought to the notice of the commanding officer, and by him reported to higher quarters, and the result was that he was dismissed the meta. The libel complained of gave an account of these proceedings, and also a report of Captain Edwardes speech on parade when the plaintiff was dismissed, the most exceptional part of which was that the plain tiff " possessed more :Gooey than brains, and lass principles than either " that be was a "coward," and " the very converse of a gentle. maa." Captain Edwards also mid that he wished to expel him is the most ignominious manner possible. The teamed counsel contended that the want of principles had referees to the peculiar circumstances of the plaintiff'. conduct, and hie (awarders, he., to his want of courage and honesty in =the band out of the difficulty Onto which be had them. The members of the band, however, had of their own accord apologised for their ooeduct, arising from the plaintiff's instigation. The turned counsel also re ferred to the plaintiff's iosubordioatioo when in a Liverpool corps of volunteers, when he struck his officer on parade, fell out of the ranks, and afterwards sent in his reeig- I patios. Mr. Justice Crompton said the defendant, to prove his justification. ought to bare shown that Captain Edwards's statement, that the plaintiff had "more money than brains, and less principle than either," was true. Mr. Brett contended that having reference to the peculiar conduct of the plaintiff and the circumstances of the cars, it had been proved. Mr. Justice Wightman considered the words rationed to were very strong. A man might act very foolishly, but not unprinciply. Mr. Brett reminded their lordships that the volunteers were an institution of the country, acid that it was a duty of an editor to comment on any impropriety of conduct. It was essential, forth* good of the country, that it should be done. Mr. Justice Crompton said Captain Edwards bad gone a little too tar. He thought the damages wader the circa,- stances were rather too high. Mr. Justice Wightman said they would consult the learned judge who tried the case before giving judgment. Judgment deferred.

On the Ent day that he entered the house the defendant came in and ordered him to leave the premises. The plaintiff remonstrated, and the defendant thereupon seized him, dragged him out of the room, and in doing so the plaintiff alleged he broke some of the furniture. The defence was that the plaintiff was put into the house • day before Collins's rent became due, On the following day he west to the house, when he found the plaintiff sit tiog in aa arm-chair smoking his pipe. He asked him what he did there, but the plaintiff refused to tell him. A etruggle subsequently ensued, and the defendant alleged i that so njury was done to the furniture whatever.

She had lived at North - place , Cheltenh a m, with her unmarried sis.er ; but in October, 1961, she went to Weston-soper- Mare. After her death a number of papers were found, in cluding a will prepared in 1856 and executed in June, 18.58. This was in two sheets, and on the locoed was written an undated codicil which laid been duly executed, and which remained uocaneelled. The name of the testatrix was, however, cut out of the will, and the paper was endorsed with a memorandum stating that it had been done by her own hand. The property was worth about 6,000/., a life interest in which was distributed amongst her relations, but the'papers did not dispose of the reversion at all. The suit was a friendly one, and it raised a number of nice legal questions as to the legal effect of the excision. but they were of no interest to the general public, if indeed they could be made intelligible to the non-professional mind. The court reserved its judgment. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JAR. 15. (Wore Mr. Oommirioner Fine.)

The bankrupt stated that he had opened an account with the Unity Bank in January, 1862. with 3001., but it was not his cash. It belonged to Mr. Lied°, and he got it back again. He had accepted bills for upwards of 780 L for Lindo, which were given to the 'soignee. Liodo was an uncertig cated bankrupt. He bad received oo consideration what ever for those bills. This was known to the assignee. His Honour suspended the order of discharge for six months, without protection.

There was this pecu liarity about the case ,• the bankrupt was not in prison. He had been arreated at his own house while very ill. Being in an unfit state to be moved the sheriff's officer told him to consider himself in custody, and he bad so remained, the officer visiting the house every day or two. The bank rupt was so ill that the registrar bad had to attend at his house to take his surrender. Notice had been given to the detaining creditor, and there was no opposition. Under these circumstances it was hoped the court would giant the diaebarge.

He told them he did not mind, and was proceeding towards Wallies Tavern when Harty pushed up against him suddeuly, put ber hand in his trousers, and graLbed a handful of silver, with which she ran off—Kelly placing hereon before him to prevent him catching bold of her. Witness pursued them both, and saw them captured in Deanotreot, and of course all his motley (about 175.) had vanished. lf•Carthy, 134 Y, said he was on duty in Toolerstreet, when he saw the prisoners running into Dean-strast, a dark place under the arches, followed by the prosecutor, who said they bud robbed him of a lot of silver. He 'soured them, but no mosey was found on either. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to six months' hard labour each. IMPORTANT RAILWAY AGREEMENTS. The following circular has been issued : " The directors have much satisfaction in communicating to the Great Western proprietors that, in conjunction with the West Midland Company, they have entered into two separate agreements—the one with the London and South Western Railway Company, and the other with the London and North Western Railway Company. "The main object of these agreements is to utilise existing lines, by iocreased facilities being given to each other; , thereby affording improved accommodation to the public, ' and avoiding expenditure by the projection of new lines, which might tend to unnecessary or injurious competition. " The agreements made for amalgamation of the West Midland and South Wales Companies with the Great Western Company are presented for confirmation by par. lamest in the approaching session. "The only bill for a new work promoted in this session by the Great Western Company is to complete a short junc tion at Great Bridge, in South Staffordshire, between two lines already formed, and for which provision is made under the terms of the agreement with the London and North Western Railway Company. "So many reports have been circulated which are en likely at variance with the policy pursued by the directors, end which are calculated to mislead the proprietors, that it has been thought desirable, notwithstanding the near ap proach of the half-yearly meeting, to place these facts before them at once. The directors will he prepared, when they meet the proprietors in February, to afford a full explanation of these matters. On behalf of the Great Western directors, (Signed) "SHILBCIIIII, Chairman.

Theism, deposited in respect of bills promoted by the three principal parlisusen tary agent firms, ?desert Pritt and Vecables, Messrs. Dyme and Co., and Messrs. Dorrington, amounted to nearly 1,000,01:01. each, and one house in the City is reported to have made a transfer in consols to the extent of 1300,0004 The total amount of capital proposed to be raised in con nation with the new widertakinp, and upon which the deposits were thus posted, amounts to upwards of 30,000,0001., the capital proposed to be raised by the me tropolitan lines alone being above 8,000,0001. Of these lat ter, however, some failed to pay the required deposit, end amongst them the Flamm and Hammersmith, Pimlico and Peddiogtoo, and proposed Kensington and Knightsbridge Railways, one of the reams being alleged to be the doubts entertained as to whether in;consequeoce of their proposing to pass through park and crown property and other public pieces, parliament would g ive sanction to them. With these exceptions, and some in the provinces, the payments lave boas well sustained.

TIM GRATZ OR ELIZABZTR BARRETT BROWNING. —The correeporadeet of a Boston paper ggiives the following dearription of Wm. Browning's grave at F lor ence :—" The Porte Pinta is ooe of the eastern gates of Florence. Through it passes the street that mosses the thick-shaded valley of the Arno, and winds by high-walled gardens and pleasant villas to the lofty summit of Flasole. Close to the right head of the 'LW a wall some twenty fest high starts out of the city wall, and soddenly curving southward, goes for about two hundred yards parallel with it, and then as abruptly tarns westward and joins the walL to its southern ' frost are plain iron pits, opening into a small court.

The Sabbath finds us at the gates. The coackeys responds to the bell from • neighbour. tog cottage, and we are ushered into the sacred resting place.

At intervals portions of this had been missed, and not long Glace the pupil mired the box and contents altogether. The prisoner was watched, but not any circumstance tended to justify preferring a charge of robbery against him until recently, when the lock of the deposit wee one morning found to have been tampered with, and, on the following day, to be open. Subsequent inquiries proved that prisoner was in the practice of going to the house at an unusual time, and during the absence of the pupiL Finally, he absented himself, and the police were placed in possession of the facts.

The following details respecting the distressed state of the cotters manufactures in Franco are from the official reports in the Moniker :—"One branch of manufac ture alone—that which bee cotton for its staple—is in • state of great suffering. Cotton is everywhere wanting, sod it is easy to comprehend that Franca, which, after England, is the country which consumes the largest quantity of that saw matanal, should deeply feel the effect of the events of which the United States are the theatre. We now poems 5,993,165 spindles, sod the calculation is that the cotton manufacture provides wages to 500,000 opera tives. The scarcity of the raw material has raised the price to an excessive rate, and such manufacturers as entertain • hope that a solution will put en cod to the differences which separate the Northern and Southern States of the American Union hesitate to renew their supplies. Nevertheless the sufferings caused to the cotton trade do not affect with the IAO3O severity all the manufacturing districts. In Alsace, particularly, thanks to the vigorous constitution of the ma nufacture, want of employment is scarcely felt. In the de partment of the Nord there are not many out of work. With regard to the Seine-InUrieure things are quite the reverse ; want of employment, which had been at first ! partial, tends to assume • more general character, said a ' greater number of operatives are without occupatioa. The Emperor's government has been earnestly pre-occupied with the general situation of the cotton trade, and the Depart ment of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works has de veloped the great public works where employment was most needed. But if valuable resources are thus found for able bodied men, they are ineffectual for those whose coastitu lions CAD with difficulty support such kinds of labour as em bankments and earthworks. There are moreover • number of women and children usually employed in manufactories, and those in no way can take part in the works undertaken for the account of the state, the departments, or tbe coin. manes. With • view to give aid in such great sufferings, the government has multiplied the assistance which wan at its disposal. On the other hood an appeal was made to the generous feelings of the country. and • subscription opened in favour of the working population of the Seim). loNrienre, where the sufferings are more severe than in any other part of the country. It may perhaps be necessary to do the same in some other of the manufacturing districts. Under any circumstances there is reason to hope that ail the means of assistance, converging towards the Immo point, will allow of the crisis which promos on the cotton trade to be passed through without deeper suffering." From another official paper we learn that "the number of ipersoos of both sexes employed in the different depart ments of France in the cotton trade amounts to SROOO, of whom 250,000 are men, and 265,000 women. The de partments which employ the most men are Haut-Rhin, ,0 fisine•lnferieure, 40,000 ; Nord, 26,000; SOODDS ; 25,000 ; Orna, 13,000 Aim" 12,000 ; Eire , 11,000 ; Vines, 11,000; and Loire, 10,000."

A few buyers have been in attendance in the piece market, but their purchases are reported as very limited. Conti nental merchants generally seem to have supplied their wants, except in low mottles, for which there has been a very general inquiry. It is evident that the speculative orders placed towards the end of last year will more than cover present requirements. The American sdvioea have not influenced the market unfavourably, and it is thought the Americas homes may renew their operations to a slight extent. There is a much better feeling per vading the market. Fancy makers continue very busy, and figures for China still meet with a ready oils. LACS AND HOSlSB.Y.—Noernecnae, Jan.

The large houses all report that they are executing more sorting up orders for Loodoe than they were a week ago, and that there is still au increasing deposition to purchase at the present range of prase. It is true that to take the trade generally Sateen prevails, and many complain that they are not doing so much as they wen a year ago ; but eufficiut confideace prevails to induce not only the larger brown net makers, but the smaller machine holders, to put their machinery is trim so as to be ready for a more substantial improvement in every branch of the trade. An encouraging advisees is also perceptible in the hosiery trade. There us several good orders being executed for houses in Scotland and Ireland, as well as at home, while small assortments, chiefly low priced cotton goods, ere still being despatched to the states, and other foreign ports. A better feeling is prevalent throughout the town. so it is believed we have passed through the worst of the crisis, caused by the cotton famine.—Notteighoin Journal.
