Deane and Caroline! dame to him afterwards to his house, at night, send Onualeheal said to Deane, if he had anything to du he suet p out, sad he (witness) went out with Deane into a held. Dome asked him what money he thought of hay ing if he voted for Wilsea. Witness replied ho would vote Me him for 1501. Deans replied that was a serious num, and he Nelda's say he could give him above 601. Whams refused to take so little, and Dome went back to ossealt Carmichael, who had remained is the house, and returned to witness and said they could net give him more than 100/. It was (be continued) a embus arm of Money, aad if there were 15 votes, it would met Lhasa I" Car michael and Deane went away; Carmichael him to meet him on Friday night at the Brows Cow. He went, and as the rood Deane, who was with him, asked him if he had considered about the 1001., and that he had written to Cooper, of Primmest, shout it, but had not yet received an answer. Witness then went on to the Brown Cow, a house used by Wilson's party, where he saw Carmichael and eeve ral others, sad bad plenty to drink till they all got fresh, he (teases-) paying nothisg. On his return to Clitheroe neat day, Deane told him be could give him the 1001. Winless replied he had aot recassidered the matter, and he afterwards voted for Arpiu.U. Richard Oddie, a farmer at Clitheroe, deposed to being offered 404. by a person named Harrison for his vote. He would not take it, but voted for Aspioall. Sean Windk, wife of John Wind'', beer-shop keeper at Claimants, near the Brown Cow Arms, said Mr. Wilson and E. Thompson came to her house to canvass her husband a few days before the election. This witness, who gave her evillest* with great reluctance, further stated that there was • post deal of beer ordered, and open house kept the day erthe eleetieto at her house, nobody paying for what was drunk. Asehard Wilson said he Mops • beer-shop, and was • voter at the last siestas. Had an open house ea the 220 d Jump, sad was eanvimed first by Mr. Aspimall, and after wards by Mr. Wilson. Told Mr. Wilson he thought he'd vote for him. He bad an open house also • few days before the *liaise. His bill amounted to 271., sad was not yet paid. The committee, after hearing some farther evidence, ad journed to this morning. BRIDONORTIT. When the oommitie-ere-auemiale7lyesterdamorning, Mr. Alexander concluded his argument on be half of Sir R. Piget. Mr. Henry Whitman, one of the sittiag members, was then called and examined—lt was determined three weeks before the election that he 'build become a candidate for the borough. Witness's expenses at the last election anointed to 2271. 13s. 78., and, to the beet of has knowledge sod belief, that wee the whole of the expenses of that contest to himself, including his agent's automata. Witness gave Page a trifle to drink his health in the street. Pep then told him he had came from Kidderminster to vote for him. Winer put him down is hie book, and Page asked him if he would give him something is the shape of a present, sad witness re plied that was impossible. Page said it was a hard ease for • man to be brought from his work and not have his ex penses paid by the gentleman for whom he voted. Witaese replied that he would inquire whether it was allowable to pay expenses, and made • note in his book about it. brown, who was with him, said that he (witness) need not trouble himself about such a scamp, for, as he had kft the tows. he very mach doubted whether his vote would be re embed. Witness never inquired any more about him, nor beard bow he voted. He (witness) gave no instructions to John Head, as anybody else, to give him refreshment, or what he wasted to drink. %%Ines' had promises from surly 300 voters when he first began his canvass, and had 300 before the nomination day. By the Committee—l heard nothing about a "trap" being laid fee • petition till some weeks after the election. Mr. Sparks asked Mr. Backh - use about it, and Backbones said he bad 10 such clew cues, that he thought Sir R. Pigot would oat defend his seat. Witness replied, " I won der, Mr. Sparks, you're not ashamed of such proceedings with your politics." Mr. Bacithause replied, " I sink my polities in wy profession." Mr. Charlton Whitmore examined by the committee— Has bees connected with Bridgnorth, as member, in five elections sines 1832. In 1847, my expenses were, I'm quite sure, under 3001. Demands were made upon me from pub lic-houses ; but, hung given notice that I would not pay for any treating, I refused to pay those bills, and they have neva rises been paid. Mr. Whataley—That is my cue. Mr. Whiunote (on the same side) said be thought it was annecosessey for him to address the committee, but ha trusted the committee would, in their decision, take into their consideration the cos's, the trifling and unwarrantable cases of alleged bribery which had been brought forward to support the allegations of the petition. Sir R. Pigot was then Billed end examined by Mr. Alex ender—l heat gat for Bridgnorth in 1832, and again in 1835. Was not returned in 1837, but was re-seated in 1838, and returned in 1817 and 1852. In 18.52 I had not decided to stand if the electors found anybody else to come forward on the saw principles. I never told Tipton that if be voted for me it would be " ell right." I did not know the men by sight. I beard part of a conversation in a field between Mr. Ste phens and a man named Neaden. Neaden said he had promised one vote to Mr. Cadogen, and he said he would give the other to witness. There was no engagement whatever on the part of Stephens with that matt about his vote. Is not aware that the words " I'll see you again " have any particular meaning at Bridgnorth. The whole of my eapeases at the last elecion were under 4501. 1 ordered no treating or refreshment whatever at the last election. By the Committee—l hove seen an account of the ex penses of my last election ; they were 3271. ; the fact of a petition being presented sg ,inst me does not depend on my account not being wound up. Mr. Vickers was next called, end examined by Mr. Ale:- ander—Witnest said he woo the professional adviser and agent of Sir It. Pigot at the last election ; he received the 4001. mentioned by Sir It. Pigot from Homfray, and that money was expended for the legitimate expenses of the election. Not one farthing of that money was expended for the purposes of bribery end treating. Not one farthing of that money was given to the Mitten. Knows Mr. Head's tenants lave paid rent to Mr. Bette. This witness underwent a very lengthened examination by Mr. Power relative to vagina saw of wavy paid dif feint parties during the election, for fetching voters from • instance. He adhered to his evidence in his elassination-in-chief, that no money was eanended, er orders gleam by him, for the purposes of treating or bri bery, thouah • portion of those sums just mentioned seemed very large, compared with what would be the actual nutlet—for instance, 41. to fe•ch one man from Birmi•ghani, &c. In reply to the committee, he said there is a balance of 601. staaccoantedi foe. 3171. were paid. He expects 1001. for agesay, mad Mr Hocafray has .ome balance an his bands. The account is complete, except that his (witness's) own account is to be added to Sir R. Paget's espenses. The account handed in dues not inclu Is Romiesy's account. If 1001. were added to the account handed in, then it would be • complete ac count. The account bee been out of his keeping for the last month. Ile seat it up to London to Mr. Brown, par ►iamenury 'gout. Sir R. Pigot had not seen the account before it wes Meat to Mr. Brown. Sir R. Pigot had asked for it a short tame before. Sir Robert wrote to him, and desiri:il him to send the account to Mr. Brown. Has an. the r account with Sir Robert, fur registrations at Bridg north. Mr. Charles Head was the neat witness. and was under Lamination when the committee adjourned to this morning. BLACKBURN. ma.BCCLIS UNSZATID. The inquiry into the Blackburn petition was restused yesterday moraing before the select committee ; Mr. Betides chairman. Mr. Eccles, the sitting member, was called in, and his examination proceeded as follows : By Mr. James—l first made up my mind to start about three days before the poll. It was not through any feeling of personal hostility to Mr. Hamby. I voted for Mr. liornby at the previous election. Last election I voted be Mr. Horoby. Last March I was at • dinner at which a gold chain was given to Mr. Husby. I first ad dressed the elec'urs about a fortnight or three weeks before the election. Hollingthed is my attorney. Mr. Sturdy was one of my agents. Mr. Swift was, I believe, retained, bat not by me. Mr. That. Clough was actively concerned for me, and I thooght he was a paid agent, but I left all that to Mr. Holling+hel. I believe he'll be psid. As to Mr. Jae. Bell, I doubt if he was my retained agent, but I saw him in the room. If a hill was tent in by Mr. Ball, I think I would pay it. As to Captain Clarke, I know nothing of him but that he was oue of five Parsons retained for me by Mr. Hol lingshed. I first saw him at the St. Leger Inn. Never bad a formal introduction to Clarke. Mr. Thompson was the chief party in that part of it. I saw Thompson there twice, but I did not speak to him, se I did not know what he came for. I did not know th ey were sent for. Clarke was to tutus. I came upon the lapis very late, and was obliged to have • number of lawyers. I saw flee pusses who her. come down from London, but es Mr. Hollingehed was my agent, I didn't interfere to send them but to London. I do not know that my own son went to London and fetched them down. This is the first time such • thing has been suggested to me. I have had no account from Holiingsbed of the outlet' of the cheque for 2,00 01 . 'spoke at Knowles's Hotel one night. I behove • bottle of wine was given to the people at the time. They would have m ire , very likely, but I gave no authority. There were about 30 or 40 people there. I drank a glass. I don't know who paid for it. I suppose Hollingshed paid for it. Mr. Hollingshed told me the expenses might be 2,0001., but could not reach 2,5001. This closed the examination of Mr. Eccles, sad Mr. Merewether then proceeded to sum up os thipart of the sitting member, and Mr. James having replied, the room was cleared. When the public were again admitted, The Chairman said he had to inform the parties that the committee had come to certain resolutions, some or which he would thee read to them. The hon. chairman the& read the following resolutions of the committee : " Ist. That William Eccles, Esq., wen not duly elected a burgess to in this parliament for the borough of Black burn. " 2nd. That the met election for the said borough, so far is relates to the election of the said William Rules, Req., is a void election. "ir(i. - ittat . the said William Bede*, Esq., was, by his agents, guilty of bribery at the said election for Om borough of Blackburn." The inqairy then terminated. NEN!RY. The members appointed to consider the petition against Mr. Kirk, the sitting member for Newry, sat for the tint time in Committee Raom No. O. The members of the committee won Mr. lascelles (chairman), Mr. Denby Sey mour, tdr. 'Upton, Mr. Moody, and Mr. Laden. The counsel for the sitting member, Mr. Kirk, were Mr. Serjesot Wrseghaus, Mr. I hos. O'Hagen, Q.C. of the Irish bar, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. F. W. M.Blein, a boof the Irish bar. The souneel fer the petitiowan were Mr. Calvert and Mr. Andrews. _ _ Mr. Calvert opened the case for the petitioners, and stated that the pantos prosecuting the petition could not sustain it, and they therefore withdrew the petition. After some discussion the committee eventually came to the following reeolutions : That Mr. Kirk, the sitting member, is duly elected a bur gets to serve in the present parliament, for the borough of Newry. That the circumstances attending the forbearance of the agents to prosecute the charges contained in the petition do not appear to call for any special report. CAPSIZING OF A SCHOONER AND LOSS OF ALL HINDS. SHIELDS, TIIIIRSDAT MORNING. A most melancholy accident happened at one bar a few minute. past five yesterday evening, resulting in the total loss of a fine clipper schooner, the Sir William Wallace, of Freserburgh, laden with coals and provisions, all hands drowned. During the court* of yesterday after- noon, with an impetuosity end suddenness peculiar to the German Ocean, the sea at the bar roes "mountains high," accompanied by squalls of wind and heavy snow showers. About the time mentioned, and just before a heavy snow shower came ea, the pilots at the South Shields beacon observed a laden schooner come from the northward, with pert mail set, and a leg of distress in her main rigging. She made a dash for the Tyne; amid, immediately on her entering the breakers, the pilots ran down to the life-boat house, and got out both life-boats, which they immediately manned. While they were doing so, occupying some ten or fifteen minutes in their exertions, a heavy snow shower obscured the vessel from the sight of the ;spectators on the shore, and, when it blew away, no vessel was Co be seen. The pilots had then got with their boat to the " narrows ' " when those in-shore shouted to them that the vessel must have either gone out to see, or sunk. They lay on their oars tor a ' minute or two, and looked 'anxiously to seaward, and in a short time observed the unfortunate vessel amongst the broken waters capsized. At great peril, they palled down towards her, and on going round her, as she drove with her masts and decks in the water, saw that every one belonging to her bad perished. Where the vessel struck, so open boat could have lived, and the upsetting of the vessel lead drowning of the crew must have been instantaneous, from the immense body of water that was coming in. The loss of these poor fellows is the source of bitter regret to the pilots here, for never within the memory of living man, though hundreds of waken have been wrecked, has it been known for a ship's company to perish en the Herd Sand. The cause of the vessel upsetting en suddenly is supposed to be that she was Sae-bottemed. like left the Tyne on Monday, and the provisions she bad aboard were for the Greenland vessels that leave the north of Scot land. The name of the muter was Mackay, and she would have either seven or hands aboard. When she struck she must have been rolled over several times, as not a vestige of her cargo of coals Is left is her hold, and the provisions, ship bread principally, were strum along the shore last night. A great number of seamen are engaged saving the rigging, stores, &c.: but when oar correspondent sent off his report none of the bodies had been found. COURT 0? COMMON COUNClL.—Yeeterdv the conic met for the purpose of proceeding to the adjourned debate on the proposed City Hallway Terminus Company's Bill.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—The annual meeting of the members of this institution was held on Wednesday in the theatre of the establishment, in Gower street, Bedford-square. At 3 o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Crabbe Robinson. After a few remarks from the chairman, the secretary read the report, from which it appeared th at the receipts for the year under all heads amounted to 1,7231., and that, deducting all items of : expenditure, a small . balance remained . Daring the' year legacies to a large amount had been received, and that item had in some degree counterbalanced a tailing off in other departments. There were during the year 186 students in the faculty of medicine, 236 in the faculty of arts, making 42.1. in all. In the junior school the number was 297, end the total fees amounted to 11,491/.

The re port next stated that the students of the college had in several initancee distinguished themselves elsewhere—viz , at Oxford, Cambridge, &c., and proceeded to remark that all possible improvements had been carried out in the che mical and other departments.

This was an application for the appointment of • new trusts*, under the following circumstances :—Mrs. Henliuld, on her marriage with Mr. Henland, executed a settlement, by which she conveyed her freehold property to trustees for certain uses. In this settlement there was a power to appoint new trustees. Another settlement was also executed, by which she assigned her personal property to trustees, and covenanted to convey the proceeds of her former husband's property to the trustees as the trusts of the settlement. She also conveyed the dower to which she was entitled on the estate of her first husband. In this second settlement there was power to appoint new trustees ; ender which a new trustee had been appointed; and the application now was for the appointment of • new trustee as to both settlements. . . llis Honour said, either the parties had the power of ap pointing a trustee or they had not. If they bad the power, they need not apply to the court; but if they had not the power, and did apply to the court, they must produce an affidavit as to the fitness of the person to be appointed, and the written consent of the proposed trustee. Hs was of opinion the court had power to grant the application, and upon production of the necessary affidavits to the registrar the trustee might be appointed. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—YESTERDAY. Verrucas AT Nua Puts w Luwo!.—lftroas Law CuisuLL Coausow loam. PARSONS v. MILIWILN.—CONTRACT. This wee an action for wore done and materials provided. The defendant pleaded not indebted and a set-off ; upon these pleas issues were joined. The plaintiff was en engineer, and the defendant an iron-master. The amount sought to be recovered was 921. 16e. The defendant, whose factory is in the country, was employed to make iron roofs for a sugar factory, erected by the order of Messrs. Owen and Co., and be made an agreement with the plaintiff to test the roofs at 21. 10s. a ton. When the roofs came up to London, it was found they did not fit the building ; the defendant there upon came to London, desired the plaintiff to do all that was necessary to set the mistake right, and to charge " time work all round." The plaintiff had done so, and hence the present claim. The sot-off pleaded wet a bill of exchange, which Mr. Milburn had discounted for Pomona, and which had been dishonoured. As, however, Mr. Mil burn had never given Mr. Parsons any notice of the dis honour of this bill, he bad made the loss of the bill his own. The defence to the action was, first, that a great part of the work was done for the builder of the factory, who had since that time become bankrupt; secondly, that the agree , ment to do the work, not by um*, but per ton, hrd sever been abrogated; thirdly, that portions of the plaintiff's demand were overcharges. These grounds of defence, if established, would reduce the claim to less than the 4W. which the defendant had paid for the bill of exchange dis counted for the plaintiff, which had sines been dishonoured. Mr. Bramwell, in reply, offered to waive the point of law in respect of the bill of exchange, and, if the defendant would hand over the bill, to allow him 401. for it. The plaintiff, however, only made this offer upon this condition, that the fall amount of his charges should be admitted. Mr. Gray, for the plaintiff, &mentor!. Lord Campbell thought the evidence showed the plaintiff was entitled to charge as he had done. The proposed set tlement would therefore he thought be perfectly just. Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly. This was the last day of the sittings is Leadmi. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAY. Smarm AT Nor Pans no LORDON.—Bayosa W. Janus TA L. FOORD 4WD • 61111,11T1IST.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—YznaRDAy. Omani . 4.? Net Passer—Bsrasi smi LOAD Call, Bum am firma. luams. 01.11/1 P. LIIIIII.—ACTION UPON • FIR. POLICY. fitiaWilaaa action toreco --- Te; tie;atet Vied:;por • a polity of insurance effected with the West of England In musses Company by the plaintiff, a eabiaebniaker, at Hull. It appeared that the plaintiff insured his workshops and stock for 8001., tend the timber and stock in an adjoinng yard at 2001. There wen two stoves on the premises, which consisted of two doors. On the second floor, which was used as a turning room, there was also a fire-plate. On the 26th April last the plaintiff had a small engine, about this sin of a model, put into the Are-place of this room for the purpose of ascertaining whether it would work a lathe which he used for turning bedposts. An Imperilment was made with this machine on the 28th of April, and again on the 3rd of May, when it was found that it was not of enMcient power to two the lathe, and the plaintiff (who had bargained to return it if it did not answer) was about to send it back to the person of whom he bad obtained it. The ilue from a small furnace Stied up for the occasion, was the chimney which had existed before, and there was awned escape pipe for the steam , made of iron, and passing oat through a wall nine inches thick. The fire for the purpose of the ex periment was lighted about half-past 7 o'clock on the 3rd of May last, and was entirely extinguished about half-past one o'clock on that day, one of the witnesses stating that the firs was " dead out " at that time. On the night of the 3rd May a fire broke out on the premises. and destroyed a considerable portion of the workshop and the stock, amount ing in value to about 1,4001. The insurance•offlee did not dispute the amount of damage, but the defence was that the plaintiff had no right to place the apparatus in question on his premises without giving no tice to the agent of the in/arena-odic. and that the tire was caused by it. That the risk was greatly increased, and the insurance rendered doubly ha miaow. This issue being on the defendants, they cow • mewed by proving their Cal e, endeavouring to make out ' that the baud was increased, and that the fire was caused by the machine which had been used on the premises on the 3rd May. Mr. Watson then addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and ridiculed the idea of the little apparatus which was in court before the jury beiag called a steam engine by the defendants to suit their purposes ; it had scarcely the power of a donkey—and had merely been introduced on the plaintiff's premises for the purpose of experiment. He had a perfect right to use it without forfeiting his policy; and if he had determined to retain it on his premises and to have used it permanently, he would have given notice to defendants' agent as he would have been bound to do. He should clearly show that it had had nothing to do with the Are, and that the part of the premium least burnt was that in which the apparatus had been placed. It had not been is any way fixed, but merely put upon some brick work for the purposes of the experiment, and it was a most shabby proceeding on the part of the defendants to resist such a claim honestly and fairly made. They might in future confine their operations to the' West of Eogland"— the people in the north would have nothing to do with them. Several witnesses were then called to prove the plaintiff's ease. Sir F. Thesifer, in reply, contended that the defendants were fully jusufled in the course they had adopted. They would not have done their duty either to themselves or the public if they had not resisted the claim. The learned judge, in leaving the cue to the jury, said the only question was whether the plaintiff had a eight to place the little machine on his premises, without risking his policy, for the purpose of experiment and temporary use, and not whether the use of it had caused the fire. He could not sco anything in the policy, the conditions of which, however, were somewhat unusuul, which would prevent his trying that or any other experiment not attended with un usual risk. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed and 301. for interest ; and, id reply to a question from the learned judge, said they were of opinion that the apparatus was used by the plaintiff merely fur the purpose of experiment. Leave was given to the defendants to move to enter a ' nousuit if the court above should be of opinion that upon the latter finding of the jury the policy was vitiated. Mr. Watson then tendered a bill of exceptions on the part of the plaintiff. SHERIFFS' COURT.—YESTERDAT. 13crou iii. W. BVCCIICLL. WPM UND1114 4 1111.1117. UTDI V. Bmccows.—BusAca or Pawns' OP M►aauoa. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in an action brought in the Court of Exchequer, to recover for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant had suf fered judgment to go by default, admitting thereby the making and the breach of the promise. The damages were laid in the declaration at 2,0001. Mr. Atkinson said the plaintiff wu Bertha Clara Hyde, and the defendant was William Bleneowe, and the present proceeding was a writ of inquiry for the assessment of the damages in an action for the breach of a promise of marriage made by the latter to the former. The plaintiff was the daughter of a respectable tradesman at Brackley, in North amptonshire, a builder and mason, and the defendant wu the son of a highly respectable brewer of the same place. They went to school together, end were brought up in early life in habits of friendship, which eventually ripened into love. After the plaintiff left school her father thought it his duty to have her taught some trade, and so seat her to Luton, in Bedfordshim, there to learn the straw bonnet business. She remained there some time, leading an indus trious, honest, virtuous life, but returned home to her father when she had learnt the business. After her return hoses the defendant paid her some attentions, and the forma friendship was renewed with the approval and sanc tion of the girls father. In 1847 she left Brickley for London, whither the defendant followed her. She was at that time seventeen years of age. The defendant was, perhaps, a little older, and she yielded to his persuasions and surrendered herself to him, the result of which was a miscarriage some four or fin months afterwards. The defendant admitted, and never denied, that this result was attributable to him ; and nothing was ever imputed with regard to other men. The ' defendant admitted the injury he had done to the plaintiff, and then gave as solemn a promise of marriage in writing to the father as any man possibly could. Believing in what he said, and that reparation would be made for what had taken place, in the fulfilment of the promise, the father allowed the visits to go on as before, but refused to permit midnight visits ; and from that time, what had been ardour turned to coolness ; and, in the summer of the last year, he was married to another person. The learned counsel then called upon the jury as tradesmen themselves, and as fathers and brothers ' to give ample damages to the injured and much wronged daughter of a respectable men, and then read the following among other 'letters, which bore no data, but the postmarks : Dearest, loveliest, and most beloved Clara,—l embrace the opportunity of communicating with you. I hope you have not thought me long in writing to you, as I have been very much engaged, and, dearest, you remember that you promised to write twice to my once, but, however, dearest Clan, I have not forgotten, for far be it from me, to forget the musical tones of your voice, the sparkling radiancy of your eyes, and if I am not deceived the devotion of your heart. Forget you Clan? No! never, while memory holds a seat in my mind. Never a day passes but I think of my beautiful Clara. What would I give for one endearing kiss from your sweet lips, or one affectionate smile front your darling countenance ? When are you coming ? Come, come dearest, come quickly. I cannot get away, or I would come and see you. Send I me word in your next how you are looking; whether you have any more colour, or not so much; whether you are stout or thin—everything connected with you. I feel, of course, a deep interest in you. Do you ever think of me ? Clara, what are you going to do with yourself on Good Friday ? Are you going out with some young man ? Think of me in the afternoon. I shall be playing at cricket in the old spot; you know where. But I must say farewell, and continue to be your devoted and affectionate, though dis tant. WILLIAM —. Brackley, Monday evening. Miss Hyde, 41, Dempsey-street, Commercial-road. London."' The date of this was Nov.lB, 1846. The next letter, the learned counsel observed, wee very different in its tone, but in some parts there was a deep significance of meaning. It was this: " Braeltley, July. " Mime Clara Hyde,—Madam,—l was rather surprised after your behaviour on Friday last, and your expressions at parting from me, to receive your note this morning. You ask me to est you, in order to have a friendly parting—that would be ridiculous. If we are to part, let us never have another interview. You know the cause of our quarrel ; is that cause to be removed ? Will you grant me my request —the only request I ever asked of you ? Consi d er of it, if you will. Though I have been trifled with and insulted, I will see you again, and confidence will be restored be tween us. But now I shall y —no, not the least madden" till then. If you have made up your mind to refuse, tell me so plainly, and then I say adieu. I have explained my reasons for all this before—think of them. My intentions are pure, virtuous, and honourable. Please send me a straightforward answer to-day or to-morrow morning, and you shall hear from me again. —I am, madam, yours respectfully, tt B. " Mime Hyde." It was soon after this letter was written that the grievous wrong was done which resulted in the plaintiff's miscar riage. The next letter he would road was as follows: " Brickley, Sunday. " My ever dearest Clara,—Thank you a thousand times for your kind note. I waited some time in the road expect ing you would come to the front window and throw it up. Bless you, my love, I should have loved to have had half an-hour's chat with you my first and only love. I brought a light ladder with me for you to pt out of the window with, and then we could have had a sweet walk, for if we cannot see each other by fair means it is nothing but fair that we should resort to stratagem. The very sight of you, my blessed Clara, has revived those happy feelings in my heart which we need to feel in each other's society. Clara, dearest, loveliest Clara, I love you still. I have some things that an to forgive in you, you have some to forgive in me. Then let us forgive and forget, for it is not a little that can quench my love. I hope, I think, it is the same with you, dearest. Yes, I'll love thee ever dearly ; and Clara, you may believe me when 1 tell you I love no one else in the world. Will you try and as* me to-morrow morning, just as the clock strikes eleven, at Gee's gates, that look into the back way ? You can just walk up your garden and turn to the right, and you are there. Come if you can, and I will be therejust at 11. ' Clara, love, I would give the world to spend this afternoon with you. You must continue to see me in some way, even if you get out of window. I will come to-morrow evening, soon after 10, and if you can get out the heat way do, dearest. Wishing you every blessing, and offering you my heart's best love, I am, my dearest and lovliest Clara your devoted and affectionate WILLIAIL—PIeue burn thii scribble." After the reeding of these letters witnesses were heard, who bore out the opening statement of counsel. Mr. tier jeant Wilkins then addressed the jury, who, after a few minutes consultation, 'messed the damages at 1001. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-VEVMDAY. Ilsroaa Ms. IN TOO MATTER e 1 JOHN LLOYD, TOO ELDNII.. JUDOMINT. This ease, before reported, was concluded. The insolvent, who had been a bill discounter, was opposed by Mr. Parr►, for the Bristol Infirmary, and Mr.T.Chitty, for Mr.Thoreas Bisgood, an attorney, and Mr. Macrae represented a Mr. But For the insolvent, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Dowse, and Mr. Sargood appeared. The present occasion was confined to the arguments of counsel and the judgment of the court. Mr. Parry contended that the insolvent had acted in au im proper manner towards the Bristol infirmary,in getting money from Rees, which ought to have ton* to the directors of the charity. He had declined to call Hem, as It was intended to indict the parties. He also contended that there bad been a fraudulent disposition of property, by assignment and otherwise, to his wife and daughter, which called upon the court to pronounce a lengthened judgment. I Mr. Thompson Chitty submitted that he bad established a clear case of a vexatious defence at the instance of Mr. Bisgood, and farther, that the assignments of property men tioned were in fraud of the creditors. his olMrleat. . Meru declined to prom • judgment on the pert of Kr. Clemisimieser Phillips intimated that a vexatious de fame en timp pin of Kr. Biagood had been proved. Kr. Cock oeeeesded to address the court at some length, eassuiding that no case had been established against the in solvent, who had already been three months in prison. As to the complaint of Mr. Bisgood, who had been the insol vent's attorney, there wu no vexatious defence, as his bill of costs had not been taxed. Commissioner Phillips gave judgment. He said three points of opposition had been sought to be made against the insolvent. In his opinion, the case of fraud alleged oa the part of the Bristol Infirmary had not been made out. The only witness (Rees) had not been called, end the parties had no doubt acted prudently, if it was in tended to prefer an indictment. As to the vexatious de fence on the complaint of Mr. Bisgood, be thought that the remark of Mr. Cooke got rid of that, as the bill has not been taxed. With regard to the assignments made to the in solvent's family, there was one circumstance which showed that they were not fraudulent, namely, that they were not made in contemplation of insolvency. Under all the cir cumstances, he thought the insolvent was entitled to de dis charged. Mr. Chitty claimed to be heard, as he had been stopped by the court, which was allowed, and he showed that the insolvent having taken out a summons to tax the bill ought to have gone on with it. Mr. Commissioner Phillips was of opinion that the cir cumstance altered the can. It was thought a vexatious defence. As the insolvent had been three months in cus tody, a judgment of four calendar months from the vesting order at the suit of Mr. Bisgood, which would keep him a month longer, would answer the justice of the case. Judgment accordingly. IN RI JOHN G2oltol CH4DDOCK.--JVDOMENT. This insolvent, a printeeller in liollyweLletreet, appeared for judgment. Mr. Sturgeon appoint! for Mr. Noble, a pianoforte maker, from whom the insolvent had hired a piano and sold it. Mr. Commissioner Phillips held it to be a frond, and pro nounesd a judgment of six months from the vesting order at the suit of Mr. Noble. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-Ni CZOWII COURT.-El,Ollll CPU, JUNICS ISITIII. CHARON OP MCILDIR AT DAVINTMT. r, FED. 24. Mary Ann GsbUna, aged 28, was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate son, about 10 years of age. Mr. Hayes and Mr . Burton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien for the defence. The ease, though it occupied a considerable time, may be shortly described. The parties lived is a court at Daven try, and the boy appears to have been of a somewhat per verse disposition. Oa the 3rd of September, at Sin the evening, the mother and her sister gave an alarm in the court, and neighbours went in. One of them was asked to go ups...les to see to the boy. Ile went, and found him in bed, deed, a ragged silk handkerchief being tied tightly round his neck. 'The boy was described by his mother to have misbehaved himself that day, and to have been sent to bed at five o'clock as a punishment. She had also threatened him that if he were not a better boy he should "go to gaol again." Ile replied, " I'll kill myself asst." A post mortem examination was made by two me dical gentlemen of Daventry. The brain and membranes were congested, the lungs slightly so, the heart healthy, and the stomach aad small intestines considerably inflamed as though some irritant poison had been taken. No direct evidence of the presence of poison could be obtained, and the evidence of the medical gentlemen differing materially as to the cause of death, whether violent or natural, The learned judge stopped the case, and directed an acquittal. POACHING AY CORNY. Samuel Langky, 58, Thomas Langky, 24, John Langley, 28, Thomas Taylor, 34, Edward Miller, 32, Edmund Snow den, 22, Thomas Monks's, 27, William Meadows, 37, and Joseph Longhorn, 47, were charged wi;h being oat armed on the night of the 11th of December, in pursuit of game, on land in the pariah of Corby. Mr. Mellor and Mr. Maunsell appeared for the proem- Don and Mr. O'Brien for the defence, _ _ _ Jamie Sanders, gamekeeper to the Earl of Cardigan, was on duty on the night in question. About eight o'clock pm from 25 to 30 men to West Svuth Wood. They had bludgeon, nets, and net-sticks. All the prisoners were of the party. Went up to them, and said, " You are pretty fellows to come robbing and plundering here every night." Tried to get a light, but could not, and they cried out, "ll—n him, smash him." Said, "The first man that strikes a blow, I'll drop him." They then made off, and witness followed them out of the wood. James Mills, an assistant, corroborated the keeper's evi dence. The defence wu an alibi, but it entirely failed. The prisoner's were all found Gesiky, , nod were sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment each, with hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Catherine Lewis was charged before Mr. Hall with stealing two 101. and one 61. Bank of England notes, and two 11. notes of the Bank of Ireland, the property of Mr. Michael Edwards, an Irish gentleman, residing at the Ta vistock Hotel. Covent-garden. The prosecutor met defendant in the street on the pre vious night, and accompanied her to a house in Hanover court. While there she contrived to take the notes from his trowsers pocket. He immediately detected the rob bery, but thought it prudent not to mention a word about it to prisoner, but after they left the house walked with her as far sa Bow-street, and on arriving opposite the police-station, he called a constable and gave bet in charge. The notes were subsequently found upon her. Prosecutor said he did not wish to press the charge fur ther ; he was obliged to leave London that night for Ireland, and it would be a serious inconv e nience to him if the pri soner was sent for trial. He had got the whole of his pro perty back, and was perfectly neighed. Mr. Hall at once discharged the prisoner. William Almon, a sturdy vagrant, was charged with as saulting Mr. Osmond, of the Exeter Coffee-house, Strand. About 12 o'clock the previous night, prisoner went into complainant's house, and offered something for lisle, and on being told by prosecutor that nothing was wanting, and that he never made it a practice of buying of people in the streets, requested prisoner to leave the place ; the latter, in• steed of doing so, became very abusive; and on Mr. Os mond going to the door for the purpose of putting hint oat, the prisoner broke a large square of glass, and su►se qucntll struck complainant a heavy blow on the nose. Prosecutor at length got him into the street, and gave him in charge to a police-constable. Complainant added that the value of the square of glass was Gs. Mr. Hall considered the charge proved, and fined priso ner 405., or 21 days, for the assault, and es., or 8 days, for the damage done. .... Eliza Noels was placed at the bar, for final examination, charged with wounding her husband with intent to murder him. The wheaten of the cue were detailed last Monday. The house surgeon of the Royal Free Hospital said the prosecutor was now out of danger. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after the usual caution, asked the prison* if she wished to say anything in her defence. She said that the prosecutor had deserted her for upwards of four months, and he was hying with another woman. She did not deny the charge. She was fully committed to Newgate for trial. It was stated that the prisoner had before stabbed the prosecutor, with intent to murder him. MARKETS.

MANCHIMITER, Faa. 24.—The news by the Africa from the United States confirms late accounts of the declining state of the American cotton markets under heavy arrivals at the ports, and we have had a dull and declining market for all Manchester goods into which such cottons enter. Both yarns and cloths are in favour of the buyer, but not quotable lower than on Tuesday. There is vary little busi nem doing, and probably will not, until prices are still lower. CORN.-Btaiumarrau, Faa. 24.-At Gloucester mar ket, on the 19th wheat ruled firm, but there was no life in the trade ; at Worcester, the same day, an advance of ls. per quarter was obtained on all kinds of English. Barley scarce, and rather dearer. Oats dull, and Irish were the turn cheaper. Beans wanted for planting, and fully as dear. Peas tending downwards. This week, we have again little passing in the trade, and no alteration has taken piece in the value of any description of wheat. Barley maintains its value. New beans more plentiful. Oats are taken in limited quantities, at former prices. Peas rather lower. At this day's market, there was a short supply of new wheat, and such realised an advance of Is. per quarter; but old and foreign were very dull, at barely the currency of this day se'nnight. Barley unaltered. Oats somewhat cheaper. Beans sold slowly at former prices. We had very few inquiries for peas. Bitumen, Fan. 24.-English wheats, in fair supply and better condition, maintain the prices of the previous week. Foreign also are firmly held, though in only slow sale. iFlour in better demand at unaltered values. Malting bar ley fu ll as dear, and grinding qualities, u also beans , are in request. Oats in larger supply, and being in excess t econeumptive demand, prices are in favour of the buyer.

Dimas, Feb. 24.-We had to-day a large supply of Wheat, the greater part of which was new, and although the condition was much worse than last week, prices were fully supported, and in many instances exceeded, the turn being decidedly in favour of the seller. A go od clearance was made. Barley was in short supply. The farmers asked an advance, which rather checked business, but a good clearance was early made, the very best samples fully main-1 Wain last week's prices, and the second best sorts being Is. per qr. dearer. Oats, Beans, and Peas were in rather better supply, and in more demand. Nzwasx, Feb. 23.-There has been a moderate business at our market to-day, although there was not so much ac tivity apparent. We have experienced an entire change of weather during the last 24 hours, and the frost appears to be breaking up.

We have report the main tenance of our last week's quotations for each kind of grain. A moderate attendance.

RWBERY, Feb. 24.—The supply of Wheat this day rather exceeded the demand, which caused the trade to rule dull, and inferior sorts Is. per qr. cheaper. A rather large supply of Barley, the finest malting sustained its late value, but secondary sorts easier to purchase. Oats, Beans, and Peas, remain without change. UXBRIDGE, Feb. 24.—Our market is thinly supplied. The Wheat trade is unaltered in value. Barley sells freely, and the turn dearer. Wheat, old, 50s. to 60s. ; new, 38s. to 665.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL PACKET did not lave Plymouth on Wednesday, as was expected.

OP ME COMMUNICATION WITH INDlA.—Orders have been issued by the Emperor of Aus tria, that an electric telegraph be constructed between Zara and Agratn as speedily as possible. This is a most important undertaking, not only for the Austrian empire, but for the whole of western Europe, as Lloyd's Levant steamers can always touch at Zara when the Dora keeps them from making the port of Trieste. When the telegraph is complete, news from the east will reach England two days sooner than is at present the case.
