ELECTION EXPOSURES. TAUNTON. Yesterday this Committee amenabled, for the first time. It VAS sted of Sir George Grey, chairman • Mr. Montagu Chambers, Mr. Du Pre, Mr. Coles, and Mr. Filkiegton. There were four petitions referred to the committee. The first was from 80. 'l. E. Colebrooke, the unsuccessful mar didate, complaining of the votes recorded ler Mr. A. Mill., the 'Afire member, who was present, and praying far a scrutiny into them, and that Sir T. E. Colebrook. might be declined duly elected. The second petition woe horn certain eleetn as of the borough, alleging bribery and corruption on the part of Mr. Mills at the Lsa election, and preying that T. R. Colebrooke might he returned. The ether two petitions were cress petitions by Torte and otters eleeten—one of them to defend Mr. Mills's seat, and the ether alleging bribery and treating against the other side. Mr. Mehl Janne, Q.C., Mr. rierjeant Kinglake, Q eat Mr.elsehe appeared for the petitioners; and Mr. Mamas QA , Mr. Montagu Bimini, and Mr. Cos for the slain* member and Ow other petitioaen. Mr. Berjeset Kirglake, Q.C., opened the cue for thews Moans in u leatithy adobess, mating that the petitienebm Adam ellsgiog bribery and treat*, played likewise tee s sereday Into certain votes recorded at the last election, we bowing been improperly put oa the poll by the rettuoiag eflitor. He (the learned enamel) proposed to the coat matte. that it would be ezpedient to inquire fins into the bribery and treating that prevailed at the last eleeties which took place on the 7th and Bth of Jul= The three candidates on that occasion won Me. elms and Mr. Milli, the present sitting amenlene j and file B.

The retaming Aim of aunton consisted of two bailiffs and an anietaat ii _ Mr. Leeson being the tory bailiff, and Captain Mellelsk tie liberal. assisted by Mr. Burton. There were four mollies booths, and at cne of these it would be found that a Mr. Brennan, one of the polling clerks, conducted himself in • very partial and unfair manner. One of the avowed agents of Mr. Mills was Mr. H. C. Trenchant, an attorney, and Mr. Mill., daring his residence at Taunton, took lodgings at the house of Mr. J. M. Fisher, an ironmonger, where ewe of the first acts committed by Mr. Mile was ;hog el giving • dinner to his partisans, and those with who' Mills on that and subsequent occesioes placed Idanelf lints-potation were Misers. 11. and J.

Heeniman (chairman of Mr. Minn onmeelli tee), Mr. H. liladeock, banker, Mr. Boneomia, Mr. B-adon, Mr. Luatoc, Mr. Sutton, Mr. Geed- 1 lam, Mr Whitwhant, and Mr. Davey, • dancing muter, who, in the course of the election, cut same con. spumous capers. (Laughter.) It would b e proved that no fewer than thirty public bowies were kept open during the election, and that the landlords voted for the sitting mem ber, Mr. Mills, who was constantly canvassing with the preens he had mentioned, and for whose sets be would be answerable The learned counsel then went on to enume rate the cams of Bartlett, Eames, Mountitephen, and others. The latter was what, in times antesior to the Re form Bill, was called a " pot-wallopper" voter—it being at that period considered a sufficient qualification for a vote that • man was what was known as • " pot-wallopper " i.e., having the occupancy of • room, and being able to boil his own pot. (Laughter.) The conduct of Bresnan, who polled voters when they came up drunk, eves though ezpostulatcd with, would call for sedan I conaideratim on the part of the committee. The first witness called was Charles Bartlett, modw of Taunton, who deposed that he voted a plumper fee NW though be tied previously promised Colebrook.. He vale *eked to vote for Mills by Davey the dancing - master, was requested lern to juin the blue party. Went with Davey to the Dolphin, and there sew Whitwham and several others. Had two el three glasses of beer, but did nut pay for them. Davey and Whitwhant said they wanted witness*. horse and cart for two or three journeys, and they would ray hint will for it, but nothiug was mid about his vote. Was at the Crown and Tower the night before the polling day. Knew Toth., a shopkeeper, sod Linton, • carpenter, but had no conversation with them anout his vote. Davey asked winos. if he would vote their side two or three time before the election, and said he would give witness 10s. a day if he would let him have the holm and cart. Nothing was said about 31. 10.. for hie vote for Mills on these occasions. Had promised air It. Colebrook*, and meant to have voted on both sides. Was not promised 3.'. 10s. for h 4 vote, but for his cart, if they had it foe • week. They did ant have the horso and wart, and witness had not been paid the 31. 101. ; but he lost two days through their not having it, and witisess applied to Davey and Whinellani for compensation, but did not get anything. They did not say anything about his They said they had not had the horse and mot, and they should not pay for it. He (witness) swore they did not promise him anr motley for his horse and cart in connexion with his vote. Hal made a statement to Mr. Baker, the paella. mentary agent, which he (witness) had signed. Mr. Jaunt here interposed, and stated that the witness had made a directly contra ry _ statement to Mn. Baker, the parliamentaryascot, and Mr. King, to that be now gave in evidence, that it had been taken down in writing, and that witness bad eigned it, By the Chairman—Have you ever made any statement to Mr. Baker or Mr. King to an effect coatrary to the evi dence you have just givea ?—Witneas No, sir.—Have you ever made any statement ea this subject to Mr. Baker or one. King >-Ifae, air.—Wes that statement contrary to the evidence you have gives to the committee as to your vote or a promise of money for it ?—No, sir. Mr. Janus said that Mr. Baker and Mr. King, and the fiemositiene signed by the witness, should be produced. Janie lamas was the neat witness--Was a wheelwright, and Toted for Coletweoke and Labouchere. Ho met Palmer, the brewer, before the election, and Telmer told him that ii he voted for Wills he (Telmer) would make it all right with reference to a bill of ht. witness owed to Mr. Barker, of Bristol On the Illeaday before the election witness was at the Ranee Ilene, where 'Alston mked him into a back /OM, and said " Hew are you going to vote ?" Witness said tie had promised eelebrooke one • ate, and Linton said " Well, *id fellow, gist Mills the other." Witness had a mall gitglilet in his hand at the time, and Lusten said "What de yea . sok for your giashlct ? " and witness said, It's not for sale." Linton said, " Will you take tan pounds Or it ? Witness said, " Well, that is a chaser. 'f he gimblet was worth Bid. (Laughter) I.ulton said, " I a JI give yin V. for it if pm premise me your vete for Mills," and gave witness M orrontegos la paper. Luaton ales gave him a glass of - NNW gag satin were going oat Isolate they east Mr . Mil's and some other gen:l.ontn. Mr. Mills asked witness for his vote, who said he had promised Colehrooke. Mr. Mills said, "Will you nit vote for me as well i" and Liston n•Hilitli his head to Mills and said, " I'll make it all right." Vitae's carried the two VlTtit igus about in his porkit fur *erne time with the inte whin of returning them, but ulti mstely spent them. (Lsuahter ) Cross examined—Never promised to give his vote to Mills, nor did he vote for Mills, and vote for 21. Had never sold a sizable fur 21. before. John Mimes, brother of the last witcess, deposed to the latter having ezhibited the twu sovereigns at the Racing Horse. J. Mountstephen, bricklayer—Knew Whitwham, the hatter, and W. B. Hell int, the draper, Bussell, and Lea tun.

Hellard come in, and witness went with them to the bottom part of the house. They had three gloms of grog, but nothing was said about witsiess's vote. Whitwham and Hellard left +rimers by himself in the ro sm (or about five minutes, and then returned, when White/ham said " Why don't you take up that piece of paper ?" Witness did so, and found it was a note on Stuekey's Banking Company. Whitwham said " Will that do ?" and witness amid " Stunning. ' (Lhughtir.) Whitwham told witness to put it in his pocket, and returned in two or three minutis with Mills end Badeock, Luaton, and a lot of them. Mr. Mills said "Now (emphasising it), I hope, Mr. Mountstephen, I shall have your vote and interest." (Loud laughter.) Wit ness said ho could not think of doing such a thing, and they all left the room, leaving Whitwham with witness. Nothing more took place about the 51., which witness put into his pocket and took home. lie did not know what it AS for, but no doubt it was to induce him to turn biscuit and to rote for Mills. lie gave it to his wife, who said, " you'd batter take it back again, and not get in a bother, or they'll kill you, and have the house down about your ears." He accordingly took the 51. to Whitwham, who said in the shed, " Don't give it me here ; let's go back to the Old Angel," and witness there gave the note back to Whitwham, in pursuance of his wife's advice. Cross-examinid—Did not promise or give his vote for Mills, but plumped fur Sir T. Colebrooke. The committee hire adjourned to one o'clock this day. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1853. SPORTING. THE POLICE COURT'S. - MANSION-110USE. James Yaks WAS charued by Mr. B. Balfour, of St. Maumee, shiposeuer, with having deserted the vessel which he had entered into articles to nay.gate as second mate to and from California. Mr. Coleman, of the Registrar-General's office, said— The defendant applied to me on the 6th inst. for kis reglad" ticket, and said he had signed articles to go on a voyage as second officer in the Abyssinia, of London. and to return, and that he had left the ship at San Francisco in May, 4662. His ticket bad been received by the government marked as that of a deserter. A peculiar hardship wee attached to the case, in the fact that in consequence of the prutligate desortdin of the men, one of the partners was absolutely obliged to go to California for the purpose of bringing hack the vessel. Mr. Balfour vdd—l um part owner of the Abyssinia. elm It now on her voyage, and consequently I cannot pro duce her log book. I received from the captain information that the nelendant had deserted, and I determiued in this instance as well es in every other, to prosecute ; for the losses sustained by desertions are beyond calculation. The defendant—l was obliged to leave the vessel, because I was not only ill, but I was ill-treated by the captain. The Lord Mayor—Why did you not complain to the consul if you were ill treated ? Defendant—Oh, it's very well to say why not comp:sin to the consul ; but where is the use in complaining to people when they are band in glove with the captains ? There is no chance at all for the seaman. The Lord Mayor—What was your pay on board your vessel ? Defendant-31. a month. The Lord Mayor—And what did ycu get on board the vessel in which you returned ? Defendant-81. a month. The Lord Mayor—The difference in pay, it appears, pro duced a different:e in health. (A laugh.) Yoa must know that the offence you have committed is a moot serious one. Ihitendaut—'llie first mate was obliged to leave the vessel, in consequence of disputes with the captain, and I was the last to leave her. Mr. Balfour—l admit that the first mate, who wise an uneaceptiunable man, had disputes with the captain, which led to their separation, but the desertion of this man, who ought to have taken the place of the first mete, was the more culpable, and my property wascompletely jeopardised by his conduct. The agent for a vessel which was about to sail from Lon don here requested that the Lord Mayor would inflict a fine upon the defendant, which, whatevor it might be, the owners would willingly pay, to obtain his services as first mate on the voyage. He spoke in the highest terms of the defendant's character. The Lord Mayor—l shall, in consequence of the good character given of the defendant, sentence him to two in stead of three month.' imprisonment, which latter penalty is the utmost I can inflict under the circumstances. Mr. Balfour—My lord, I hope it will go forth to the pub lic, that your lordship will do everything you can to pro tect the shipowners, who are subject to such fearful loam and injuries. The Lend Mayor—l shall on every future *cession punish those who are guilty of such serious mimhief as much as he law will allow.—Committed. EPSOM STEEPLECHASES.-YESTERD.tT.

The eupply of cattle was large, but not near trine' to the great demand. Thus, in purchases which were made to a great extent, sellers could not be prevailed upon to make any abatements ; and sales were easily effected at full 20 per cent. over the prices of last year. Barren cows were also in great demand at 81. to 101. per head. Milch cows, with calves by their side, sold freely from 141. to 171. each. The sheep market was scantily supplied, those offered were readily so d, prices ruling a trifle in favour of buyers. The horse fair was well attended with buyers, but few really good animals shown, which were quickly disposed of at hie prices. There was a good supply of ponies ; those warranted sold freely at 101. to 121. each. Small ponies, under duty, to match, realised 141. to 181. the pair.

This committee also met for the first time yester day Mr. Direct in the chair.--Mr. S. Chews, Mr. IL T. Parke., Viscount Dalrymple, and Mr. N. Kendall. The petition against the last election set forth the usual allegations of treating and bribery by the agents of the sitting member, Sir J. Walmsley. Mr. Serjeant Kiogslake, Mr. Macauley, and Mr. Mother son were the counsel fur the petitioners; and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, Mr. Atkinson, and Mr. Solesby for the sitting member. Mr. Serjeant Kingslake opened the cue for the peti tioners at much length, giving a sketch of the Trevious elections for the borough In 1847 and 1848. The learned serjeant said that the petition was based upon the existence of a systematic course of bribery and corruption at the last election. No fixed sums had been paid, but • large sum had been expended in small doles. A man of the name of Moore had been promised something handsome by Mr. Tupps if he would vote fur Walmesley and Gardiner; and it was hinted that it would not be less than a sovereign. Is consequence of the witnesses not having arrived an they were expected, the learned counsel was obliged to Fo on with the case somewhat irregularly. The first four wit nesses, named Cooke, Seale, Hydroid, and Norfolk. were examined et great length with respect to the alleged bribery of a voter named Topps. They all swore that, on the 31st of October, they Maid Topps state publicly in a tavern that be bed been paid • balauce of his last electioneering account, 4f. Iris., and that it had b-en ;mid in consideration of his vote, and that he would not have voted if he had not been paid. John Ludlam, smother voter, was celled to prove that he had been bribed with half • sovereign, but it turned out that he had deceived the petitioners, and that his evidence referred to an election that took play fifteen years ago or MOM Atter hearing the evidence of another witness, John Kirk, who stated that he received dl. 10s. daring the election in half-sovereigns, at the Leicester Mercury office, to pay the musicians, including half a soverigu himself, the committee adjourned to this morning. DARTMOUTH. The select committee appointed by the house to report on the allegations of a petition against the return for the last election of the borough of Dartmouth, met yester day for the first time in committee room No. 6., Mr. W. Mitre, chairman, Mr. Langston, Mr. B. Pollutes, Hoe. Mr. Byng, and Viscount Newark. The allegations of the petition charged various acts of britery, treating, and promises, against the sitting mem ber. Sir Thomas Herbert. Mr. James haring opened the ease for the petitioners, Daniel Donovan. landlord of the Castle Hotel at Dart- mouth, was examined—bir Thomas Herbert and Mr. Lind say both stopped at his hotel beers and during the elec tion, and Sir T. Herbert had a committee.roons in his house. The witness produced his account book, in which were entries of two accounts—one of Sir T. Herbert's own private account, the other that of his committee. The first entry of articles supplied to the committee was dated the 6th of July. He supplied them with everything they wanted. He has been paid the private account, but not that of the committee. Miss Mary Jane Kemp examined—She was an assistant at the Castle Hotel during the election. She attended room No. 12, which Sir T. Herbert occupied. Rooms 23 and 24 were over No. 12, and were occupied by Mr. Brook ing, Mr. Prideuz, and Mr. Hockin. They were busy writing when she went into the room. She saw Foe fre quently at the end of the purge. He was directing per sons who came, who wanted to see the committee, to go to the rooms 23 and 24. Mr. Lindsay's room wee Nn. 9. Witness frequently brought up wine brandy, end other spirits to No. 12. She saw no ass dr i n k it. She left it on the sideboard, and when she found it had been consumed she replenished the decanters again. This occurred fre quently. The witness also spoke to three or four electors, among whom was one named Levers, having been at the Castle the night before the polling day drinking till a very late hour in use of the private rooms, and that Mr. Brook ing was in that room for a short time. Henry M. Baker examined—Witness was Mayor of Dartmouth at the last election. Sir T. Herbert was pro posed by Sir H. Side. There were disturbances during the election, he thinks, occasioned by quarrymen and trawlers brought into the town. They paraded the town, headed by a band of music. Most of them had blee rosettes, Sir T. Herbert's colours. Witness apprehended a breech of the pews, and he applied to Sir R. Mayne, chief commissioner of police in London, and also to the authorities at Plymouth, for assistance, and he got 20 or 21 policemen from Plymouth. The quarrymen were about in great numbers. At the conclusion of this witness's evidence, the oom , mitten adjourned to this =ening at 11. THE NATIONAL DEBT.

A. Y. SPIAILICIN, CollipttOilOPOolltril. THE GOVERNMENT BC CONCERNS. In an article on the Education Question in the new number of the Edinburgh Reyna, the writer in re viewing Sir James Kay Shuttleworth's new work remarks : " We are glad to observe that Sir James Kay Shuttle worth expresses a very decided opinion on a subject which is one of considerable importance, and which has been much discussed. With reference to ,tke publication and trading in school books by the government, Sir James Kay Shuttlewurth remarks 'lt is essential that the go vernment should avoid every form of interference which could discourage individual enterprise, the freedom of opinion, aud the natural action of literature on the popular intelligence and taste, or of the trade in books in their production and diffusion. The government is not en author, a holder of coyrights, a publisher of books, nor a patron of methods; much less is it to inter fere in the formation of opinion, by making schools the organs of its min doctrines.' And he adds, ' I concur with the great publishing houses of London in their els. jeetiens to any sale of the books of the Irish Commis sioners in Great Britain, except through the ordinary channels of trade.' This is an opinion founded on sound principles. The act of copyright creates a monopoly for the encouragement of literature, and thus for the benefit of the public. It never was contemplated that the go vernment should buy up, or in any way hold, these mono polies. If they bold them, they must either trade in books, and carry on the business of booksellers in all its de tails, or they must restrict the use of their works to their own schools. In the one case they embark in a business they cannot carry on without prejudice to the ',oldie interest; in the other,' they deprive the public of the books they have every right to demand, inasmo i, as they have been construcsed at their own cost. It would, indeed, be a narrow and exclusive policy, little to be commended, were the government to use the influence they possess, to oncost- ' rage the most able writers, free of money payment, to write Looks restricted to the use of their own schools. It cannot be suppose' that any writer would, of his own choice, restrict the circulation aud utility of his writings to a particular class of schools. On the contrary, be should desire that they might have the widest diffusion, thus extending the public benefit, and at the same time securing to himself, in the meet legitimate way, that just reward which should result to hiss hem af i ttrecogastion of the value of his serving. DRAMA. FRENCH PLAYS—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Page, at present the principal star of the French company, appeared last night in Madame Ancelut's vaudeville, Loin, 014 14 B►etonne. She gave great interest to the part of the rustic heroine, looked cap tivating in her Breton peasant girl's attire, and sang some of the old ball►d melodies of the country with great sim plicity and expression. The pieae, as a whole, has little merit; but is rendered well worth seeing by Mademoisille Page's very charming performances. THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT WIGAN. The coroner's inquiry was brought to a close at • late hour on Thursday night, and the jury came to the following verdict : Ws had the death of Edward Marsden and fifty six others, whose bodies we him; viewed, was caused by en explosion of fire damp which occurred on the 23rd of March last, in the Arley Pit, situate in Ince, belonging tothe Ince Hall Coal sad Cannel Company ; and that the explosion oc curred from gas which accumulated in No. 6 (Griffith's) and other drifts on the south side of No. 2, north jigger. There is no direct svideoce to show how such gas ignited, or the accumulation took place ; but the jury Sr. of opinion that it arose from the door on the south side of No. 2 north jigger being improperly left open for a longer or shorter period. The jury cannot separate without strongly express ing their opinion that the roles for the regulation of the said colliery are very imperfectly carried into execution." 'Lab) )nteßtgente.

Mr. Fleming apioareiEr the etaintant, Mr. Constable Maxwell ; the .Attorney-General, and the Lord Advocate, appeared for the Crown ; and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Hope, Q.C., for the opposing petitioner, Mr. Maxwell, of Ca:ruches. An outline of the case having been given by Mr. Fleming, the Solicitor General said that the whole o f the evidence, both in support of the claim, and on the part of the oppos• log petitioner, was now complete, and probably the house would name a day upon which they would hear counsel. Mr. Fleming said that it had been arranged on a former occasion that when the evidence had terminated he was to sum up the cue on behalf of the claimant, that the Soli citor-General was to be beard for the petitioner opposing the claim, that he was to be heard in reply, and that the °Hoer for the crown was to address the how upon the whole case. It would be impossible that he could make his address with justice to his client until he had perused the evidence which had been offered at the bar of the house on the present occasion. The Solicitor-General laid that the house would appoint a day in about two months hence. Mr. Fleming said that that would have the effect of throw ing them over the session. The Lord Chancellor asked Mr. Fleming if he entertained a serious opinion that the session would not last longer than two months Mr. Fleming said he would not presume to prognosticate the duration of the erasion, but in six weeks' time he would undertake to be prepared to sum up the evidence. Led Redeadale said that due notice of the day should be forwarded to the parties; and the case was accordingly ad journed. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YrsTERDAT. BZPOSZ Xs. COMIXIIIIIOIIIII Govan IX. IP ii ARTIONIS. _ The bankrupt, Jules Attica's, wu described as a general merchant, of Mark-lane. This wu the last examination meeting ; but the accounts, which are voluminous, had not bean flied. His liabilities ere estimated at between 11,00011 and 12,0001. • the assets consisting chiefly of balances due on consignm ents to Bourdeaux, Hamburg, and other places on the continent, estimated at about 6,0001. ; but the amount to be received from which is very problematical. The petitioning creditor is M. George Corsi, banker, of Hue Heuteville Paris. , iirTilailater — , for the assignees, consented to an adjourn ment for two months at the expense of the estate, the bank rupt having rendered all the assistance in his power to the assignees in getting in the debts. His Honour directed an adjournment accordingly. IN RI WILLIAMS AND MAUCIIANT.—DIVIDEND OF 20e. This was a dividend meeting m the ems of Williams and Merchant, the large railway contractors, of Great George ' street, Westminster, Liverpool, and other places. Mr. Plows appeared for the assignees. Several small proofs were admitted. It was stated that • dividend of 20s. in the pound would be declared and made payable in the usual form. A question •rose whether it would not be necessary, under the 187th and 188th sections, to hold another meeting in order to give the opportunity to any creditors to prove who had not done so. His Honour feared that this would be necessary, regret ting the additional expense which it would occasion. He would, however, suggest that the final dividend meeting should be filed on the same day as the certificate meeting. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—lrlisnanAY. Beams 7111 Cato' Onartiriosea. IN ZS THOMAS Wx. WALIZIL-A MAX BONN IN TUX RIMS OF GEORGE THE SECOND. This insolvent, who was stated to be ninety-five " years old, applied to be discharged from Whitecrom-street Prison. Ile had been a debt collector, and had resided in Judd place, New-road. There was no opposition to the applica tion. Mr. Dowse supparted. It appeared that the insolvent only owed one principal debt, which was on • promissory note for 1001., given under peculiar circumstances. He had given the note in consideration that a person named Thompson should pro vide him with two or three dinners a week. The mite was paid by Thompson away to another person, and he was arrested, and had been us Whitecross-street Ptieon since the 2nd March. Mr. Dowse said the only consideration that the insolvent had received for the note was 10 or 12 dinners.
