The Chairman, addremir.g thisa gent . emen, is not competent fur the committee to enter upon the minis deratim of the msttcr, unless it is hr 'tight forward in the shape of evidence during the examination; neither is it competent for any stranger to take part iu thaw proceed ings.

Those proceed. (was may appear in the papers, but the committee are not responsible toe that. It is one et' the fistions of parliament that no one knows anything of those proteedings or of their debates but them-elves. (L. oaltter.) It is • idiots, too, not eonlioed to tam ordinal proceedings of parliament, but it C.l:owitl out an *holed in th -se committs c rooms, Vie same way as it is in the 'hong,.

TI eref .re, anything you twee to state to the committee that at all hear. on the question must be produced in the shape efsvislanes. Mr. Saltier—We have LK intention of ao..lrrwing the COMMllltee, or of infringing upon their rules, but merely to represent that the electors of the city of Norwich are per fectly astounded at the statements that— The Chairman (interrupting)—We know nothing about tLat.

Mr. Sultrier. and others, withdrawing—We hope the conimit , ee will do usjastice. Tne Chairmen—We cannot. The Home of Commons is the proper tribunal to appeal to. Colonel Dickson was then recalled. lle said he wished to make wine emendations and additions to the evidence he gave on Friday. He had then stated that Mr. Wilde, Den., was the agent from Peto and Warner, who came to Lord Douro with the letter (or signature stipalutiug that no britery should take place on either side. It wae—he should have stated—a Mr. John o.lding Taylor, the avowed agent of Pew and Warner. Ile (the gallant colonel) was attacked by Mr. Wilde, jun., at the close of these proceen ings on Friday, and charged with having villified the elec tors of Norwich; and he (the witness) would now read to do, committee what Wilde had said upon this sulleet bim e*:f to the commissioners who were acne down to Norwich. The Chairman said the committee could not go into anythinc th it had taken place alter the committee ad journed on Friday. Col. Dickson then went into a eireamstintal narration of the first m-etings of what Mr. Kluane-ailed "the flower of the conservative party" in Norwich, and stated that so aati.fied were they of the bonafule charactsr of the iutendcd petition that they agreed to subscribe to its pruiecution. He mentioned this to show that the petition was no sham. The last time he had any conversation with Brown upon Coe subj-et of the petition was in the ball of the Conserva tive Club, who re Brown called with a lady and asked the colonel C. show her over the club. Ile then asked Brown when the petition would come on, and Brown said "la March, or Easter." Witness said, "We have a capital case, sad I will sub.cribe hand somely " Oa the Stb of November witness met Col. Fo rester, Brown, Kitten, and Collins at Brawn's °Mee, on which occasion, after going through them, Brown said they were very good eases, and that if they proved one or two they would unseat the members. The Chairman inquired if the document signed by the candidates pledging there should be uo bribery ennui be put in. Mr. Brown—lt is in the Daily Nees of this raor-ing. (The document, at a subsequent part of the proceedings, was put in *violence) Cal. Dickson cross.evansised by Mr. Brown—l wish to ask you the name of the member of the Carlton who told you in confidence I boasted to Mr. &Tire at the Carlton that I had done him a good turn, and bad thruwa you over. He told me since I stated it in a letter to the Daily News ; it is quite right, but do not give up my name without mission. I now ask you, Colonel Dickson, to give lois name ? I certainly shall not, unless I am obliged to do so by law, and I hope and trust this hon. committee will not oblige me to do no. I throw myself entirely on the committee. You will have an opportunity of calling Mr. l'agge. The committee I am sure will not want me to cor.omot • breach of confidence. I will give you the benefit of Mr. Bagge's denial Mr. Brown—Haling given the benefit of his anonymous dander. the committee will see the libel it itivolves, and that I am entitled to have it answered. Tait Chairman—The committee du not think it necessary. The witness was thencrossexamined on smoother points, chiefly recapitulatory of his preview evidence. When he sow the Speeker on the subject of the petitions, the Speaker mid " D.ckenn, we are all in a mess about three Norwich petition.. (Laughter.) There is a petition withdrawn, do you know which it is ?" And witness said, " I don't can which it is so long as one of them reni :ins." Witness, when he went to Colonel Forester, at the Carlton, said " he was anxious to fight for Lord Derby." lie bed been round the country as one of the executive committee of the Cow emotive Laud Society, and had advocated Liird Derby's government in all his speeches. (Laughter.) lie klt be bed • duty to perform to himself and his supporters in Norwich in prosecuting the petition, and also to show up the genlensen who had thrown him over—Forbes Mac keiiste. Col. Forester, and Co., of the Carlton. (Laughter.) Mr. Brown--1 hen von exclude me ? Colonel Dickson—Well, I suppose you were acting under them. Mr. Brown—And I was a party to throwing you Over ? Culotte' Dekson-1 should say so, rather. (Laughter.) I had 1,500 promises, and polled 1,468 votes. Lord Douro WWI 123 ahead of me. The Catholics did not poll fur me. Mr. Brown—lf that was so, how do yon attribute your defeat to bribery ? Colonel Diemen (dryly)—Well, I was told by people who knew more about it than I did, that it was to lie prognos. ticated from certain appearances in the morning. (Laughter.) Beene of the old hands in Norwich hinted teat certain individuals were coming in very sharp to the polling booth, men who never gave their votes without money. Early in the morning I was told that the election was gone. They said hri'evy had been commenced. It was said 200 or 300 bad been bought. Many people said, " Its all up with you." (Laughter.) These ere the men who never vote without they are paid. About the middle of the day some respectable men came and said, " Well, colonel, we'll brinf you in yet ; there are 603 of coif you ' ll only come to terms. ' " I'll come end march you up myself," I said to them in • joke, "hut you most go without the bounty." (Loud laughter.) This was late in the day—between 1 and 2 oVock. All was up. Mysterious indications took place at the different wards. They took the lead in buying. (Laughuir.) This only confirms (reading from a blue book) what Mr. Wilde said before the commis sioners on their visiting Norwich, when he stated that "he had stood openly in the market-place and bought them se with the money in hie band, like blaekberries—(loud laughter)—that this system was acted upon at ma ry con tested election. Nothing but poverty of purse makes purity of election." (Renewed laughter.) The statement west on to show that the same system was pursued in Nor wich on the occasion of municipal elections, the market prime being less. This (continued the witness) was the statement or Mr. Wilde, who on Friday had charged him with having vilified the electors of Norwich. (Laughter.) When the parties talked to him about bribery he joked with them, and the ialsemien as his mind hum the Interview was. that 101. er &apiece would buy them. (The gallant mimes quick mid cavalier delivery of this and other piedmont his evidence excited considerable amuse- Rent.)

I will allow the party to do the rest;' or "I've fought the battle on the hmtinrs and had • seven 1 contest ; sow I've nothing more to do; I'll leave the party to do the rest." lied said if the petition did not go on it might Le for the good of the party, or that now the recognisanees were perfected the party might do the rret. It was seven or eight weeks before the petition oas with drams that Lo'd Renelagh mid " he had a sorry opinion of Brown," and I took care never to ask you to dine wit's me afterward,. (Laughter.) Never said, when I ilia- d with von at the Wyndham, " I had been SO badly seed by Lord Derby's government that I world have my revenge and publish the whole correspondence." Had com pinked of the treatment he had ezperieneed to Lord Ranelagh, and Colonel Wilbraham, and Mr. Wal pole. Lem Readmit had said at the Conservative laud Society in Norfolk -street, " Brown will throw you over." I should have withdrawn the I etitions from your bonds if you had not been too sharp for me. (Laughter.) I 111111111 made any inquiries about your eharacttsr, Mr. Brown, either personalty or prefab/Penally, but I thought your =tuner rude and off-hand. (Mr. Brown—That is not disreputable.) You may:beia repectable man. I hope the public will think no after this inquiry. (Laiigntir.) (Mr. Brown—lt is not claim over yet; I em not afraid.) Mr. Illuddlestone, the barrister did sot say anything about ou. I;trald him I wished to get the petitions from your havls,and be said it would be a breach of etiquette. lie never iota any thing good, bed, or indifferent about you. (Laughter.) Had spread far and wide whet Lord Ileipiaph said. (Laughter.) I have since mti you in Pail-mill, and said, " Dow d'ye do, Brown." (Laughter.) I always thought you very off handed, but not as if you were bored by my emalag. lOthers have complained of your conduct, and that your manoer wu impertinent and rather on rearing. Mr. Brown—What did your election cost you ? The Chairman &tided that this was not a proper ques ti,n. Colonel Dicks .n—When we talked at your office about the withdrawal of the petition, you said it was done for the good of the :tarty. but do not r , colleet you at the sante time saying you had full authority for what you had done, and that whatever the consequences were you did not care. When in the lobby of the Blow of Cotl2olollll members had said to him, " Oh, Culotte damn, you are a petitioner, and I'll get you into the house ;" and on one ow/talon he (Colo nel Dickson) on teeing to gat in, was stopped by a little man with a white head—(loud laughter)—who said to him " You C 311% go there." Rad spoken to Mr. Oliveira on the subj:et on their way from Brighton, but Mr. Oliveira never came from Peto and Warner with any proposition. Ile said it would he an expensive affair Lighting the petition ; and wailers told Lim he w o not prepared to arrange it on any terms. If Mr. Kitton said Mr. Oliveira came with any proposition of c ttnprotsise it was a mistake. Attri buted hie defeat to Norwich Maxey, and believed ttat Brown was induced to withdraw the petition and to throw him over by Forb:s Mackenxic, Forester, and Co. (Laughter.) Mixed them all up together in a " Cu." Wished he could ' , pirate them, and could prove it by Kitton and Collins from what Brown said on the occasion. Considered Brown was acting under them, and did not =ante the matter. _ . Idr.Col:ins articled eler'A to Messrs Kitton and Beckwith, solicitor, of Norwich, was then examined at considerable __— length. lie deposed to baring assisted Mr. /Litton in col lecting the evidence, when Mr. Litton undertook the mat ter for the conservative p trty in Norwich. Witness was en gaged in collecting evidence of bribery and treating until the Saturday before Brow n withdrew the petition. Ile first knew of the withdrawal of the petition, from reading it in the papers at Ipswich. Mr. Litton on reading it Rol in ■ tremendous state of astonishment. (Laughter.) Witness was at Brown's office in November, when he laid the eases he had collected before him. Col. Forester was there also, and after witness had read one particular case, Brown ca• 'aimed " capital," end said " mark good against that." It was seam where the parties were paid extravagant travelling imposes. Witness WA, prevent at Litton's interview with Brows, at Brown's °dice, after the petition was with•lrawa. Brown, on seeing Kitten, said, " Ah, my dear fellow, I know what your'e come about. I didn't answer your letter;" and he seemed considerably agitated, raising his hand to his head, as if ashamed to show his face. (Laughter.) Litton said, " You're coin. premised me, what do you mean by this? " Brawn said, •' Well, my dear fellow, I thought I had your authority to do as I liked In the matter, and I did it for the good of the party." Litton said, " Dow came you to do such a thing without the consent of the party ? lam in a dreadful scrape; I don't know what the people of Norwich will say. You know the circumstance of the intimation given to Dickson by Oliveira. You know I called on you the Saturday before, and told you we Mid en important addi tional link in the evidence, and you said it was capital." Brown said, " I am sorra if I have done anything wrong ; it is only an error of judgment ; but I will write you a letter toexculpate you. I will go down to Norwich if you like, and tell them it was not your fault." I mentioned to Litton that Brown had become considerably cool in his treatment towards me. When I called there I thought there was evidently something wrong. I said, " I'm afraid he'll spoil as, his trainer is so abrupt and MY-hand ; be is a sharp, shrewd man, but I'm afraid he'll spoil us." Brown on one of these occasions said " You know Litton. I see much behind the scenes; my instructions were to get rid of Dickson; he is rather troublesome." (Laughter.) Brown said " I cannot tell you all, but I see very much behind the scenes." The Chairman—Whit did you understand by that term ? Witness—That he had instructions from his employers to nt rid of Dickson. Tbe Chairman—Who were his employers? Witness—The Carlton Club. Kitten said to him, "Yon ought not to have withdrawn the petition without letting us know. I shall get into a terrible scrape with the party." Brown said, " I thought I had your general authority, and that I might act as I liked in the matter." Elamined by Colonel Dickson—Brown said on one of these occasions he could not get Dickson 1,000 guineas, or that if the petition was withdrawn he might get his ex penses. Mr. Kitten gave Brown on these occasions to un derstand that even if Colonel Dickson was disposed to with draw the petition he could be no party to it without con sulting the electors of Norwich. It was witness's impres sion that the gentlemen of Norwich fully intended to pro secute the petition. Contracts between candidates were often talked of at contested elections, but he did not ima gine they got in without considerable treating and bribery at contented elections. No doubt Colonel Dickson would have a right t 3 think that signing the contract was a blind. Brown, at a meeting after the withdrawal of the petition, said to Kitton, " I've no client in this matter, you are not my client; Dickson is not my client ;" and wanted to tusk, out a general authority from Kitton. On an intimation being given that if the petition was with drawn, Dickson might get his expenses, Co!. Dickson said he would not withdraw the petition for three times the amount, although in coming up from Brighton Mr. Oliveira had mentioned that he had arranged his election petition, and advised Col. Dickson to do the same. Brown said, " I cannot pay Col. Dickson 1,0001., but that the money might be had from somebody." The agreement was under 1,0001. Col. Dickson.—My agreement was 7501., and for Lord Douro and mraeU, 1,5001. Examined coy Col. Dickson.—When Brown spoke of " behind the scenes," he meant the prosteedinu of the Tory party, and the inference he drew was that Brown was con nected with the Carlton, and that the Carlton wished to get rid of Col. Dickson. By Mr. Brown.—Had n seen Mr. Forbes blacken lt on the subject, and did not know him even by sight. Did not hear Kitten say, on one occesioe, to Brown, that if Brown appeased Dickson, he would get out of the serape at Norwich,and that they would never hear any more of the petition ; or that if be could see it was to the subeantial advantage of the party he would consent to the withdrawal of the petition. Kitten was monstrous aavago. (Laughter.) But he walked arm-and-arm with Brown down Parliament street. Litton did say that in consequence of the Norwich and West Norfolk petitions appearing on the same list lie should lose the confidence of the conservative party in Norwich. Brown said he had been ever to Cop pock, and that Coppock'e list was exhausted, and that he hod given Coppock up one petition on the understanding that Coppock was to give up Brown one when he had it. Coppock threw him in Stoke. /Laughter.) Brown told Kitton that Coppoek had given It up in consideration of what he (Brown) had given Clppock up. Brown said the only ix portant petition Coppock had was Youghal, and the only one he had was Norwich, and that he (Brown) would set off Norwich and two or three other places against Cop pock's West Norfolk, Youghal, and County Down. Brown, witness thought, weals', not say Youghal, because the Duke of Dovonslatio's purse end interest was fighting against them in it, and they must not lose Yong hal , because Batt was a good and useful man. Ile wanted to make out that Kitten would confer an immense advantage on the party by _giving up Norwich for Youghal. Kitten did not say to Brown, all he erred about was the petitions for Norwich and West Norfolk (which latter he always considered a "g sin,") appearing on the same list. Kitten did nut say he should be ruined with the conservative party, and that he could never hold up his head in Nor wich, in consequence of the selling of the Norwich for the West Norfolk petition. Mr. Kerrison, agent for Lord Douro and Colonel Dick son, at the lot election, was then examined. After de posing to the proceedings of the conservative committee at Norwich, he declared t ha t neither that committee nor him self had given any instractions for the withdrawal of the petition. He had never applied to Colonel Dickson on the subject of a compromise, but would have been satisfied with one and one. Neither witnes s nor the committee had any communication with the Carlton on the subject of compromise. Neither Kitton nor any one else would be justified In giving instructions for the withdrawal of the petition without first consulting the committee at Norwich. No one had any authority to set in that matter but Kitton. The petition 111 witness's opinion would have stood good as against the sitting member on the ground of bribery, I though witness di.l not bribe anybody. (Laughter.) Col. Dickson had written to him to say he would subscribe 301. to the petition, and that others would subscribe 101. or 201. each. Col. Dickson had never told witness he would com- promise the matter, but that he intended to fight the peti tion to the last. The evidence of Col. Dickson had created • sensation in Nurwieb, and hence arose the meeting. Wit ness was of opinion there was bribery at the last election, but it must be done without the knowledge of the sitting I member. _ _ Colonel Forester w u then examined at great length by Mr. Brown—Mr. Kitton won alter the election called on me and his statement to me wu that he wi%hed to see me with reference to a petition there was an idea of getting up at Norwich. lie stated to me be had little or no doubt that extensive bribery and treating could be proved sitainet the sitting members. lie came to me to know if I could recommend to him a puliamentary agent who could con duct the petition at a reasonable expense, telling me that the electors of Norwich were prepared to pay the expense". I I recommended him to Brown. He "eked me how much the expenses of presenting a petition would he, and I mid I really did not know, but perhaps 41. or di. Kitton t oals said that in case they bed not a sufficient ease go before parliament the object was to pair It off with some other petition on the other side. The neat time be saw Kitton was at Brava's office, where; he (Colonel Forester) happened to call on some private busineu that Brown was transacting for him, sad Kilian said he believed they would be able to prove a good case of bribery. Witness told him the osmoses would I not begin until witnesses were summoned by the Speaker's • warrant. Kitten said he would not submit to the Norwich being paired with the West Norfolk. Witness knew no thing of the withdrawal of the Norwich petition. By_the committee —l never gave any advice respecting the Norwich petition. I knew nothing of it till Col. Dick. son accosted me about it in the lobby of the House of Com mas', and stated it was a very improper thing on the pert of Brown to withdraw it without any sanction. Witness said he understood that Brown bad Kittnn's authority on the S stunts, before, when he wu with him, and Dickson said he should make it subject mntter of iaguiry 4 the Noose of Cortmons. From what he knew of Mr. Brown be Lhesed that Drown was not a person likely to " any one, or " throw any one over." Certainly not, but altogether the contrary, as regarded his knowledge of r Brown's character. Witness had dined with Lord Rano , Ingh on Friday, anai Lord lianelagh stated he never gave I Col. Dieson nny authority to use the words he did about Browe, but his Lordship did not say that he did not make use of them. Examined by Colonel Dickson—Never instructed Brown to withdraw the petition, and say that Brown was in a tre mendous scrape for withdrawing it without authority. Might have said in conver.ation that there was likely to be a tremendous kick-up about it. (Laughter.) lied never put this into writing. Col. Dickson.—Would you say that I was telling a false hood if I showed it in your own handwriting? Col. F.uortr.—l should not say . you wcre telling falsehood. I thought you were making yourself uselee.ly angry about the petition. Drown told me he had liitton' s authority to withdraw the petition. Col. Dickson.—! have letters of yours in my posssssicn —private letters, air, no this suhjeet. Col. Forester.—And if y cannot make a proper nee of them, perhaps you would be kind enough to give them back. After some farther little persontl sparring between the gallint colonels, to the ornament of all on the committee, the praccedings were adjourned to tea o'clock this day. HUDDERSFIELD. When this committee met again yesterday a wit ness named Dobson was examined, who said he had r.- ceived some cards from Mr. Heaps at Mr. Winans' com mittee ro.im. The doubtful voter.' were marled red on those cards. Mr. Heaps said they must go and get as many voters as they could for Mr. Winans, and they must take a company of working men with them, and tell the yottrs (who were retail dealers) that unless they voted for Mr. %%liens they could expect no support from them. The witness was ordered by the committee to withdraw, when The Chairman informed counsel that as they had alree:y I agreed to confine the inquiry. for the present, to six case. of bribery and ten of treating, it was unlearn to go into any new eases until those were disposed of. Joseph Halliwell was then called in and examined. He stated that on the election day he went to the house of his nephew, Joshua Barnwell, who keeps a beer-shop called the Turf. A man named Jackson, a saddler, and Mr. Scarlett, a brewer, were there. While he was then he heard nothing said about his vote. He premised and always intended to vote for Mr. Stansfield, and had voted for him once before. The witness was crows-examined at considerable length to show that he had as much beer as he wished fur on the moroing of the polling day. This he admitted, but gave such a contradictory account of how he got it, or at whose expense, that it was difficult to make anything of his evi dence. After a great deal of fencing, he admitted that he also had an order for a breakfast on the same morning. Joseph Jackson was neat examined, and stated that be voted at the last election for Mr. Stansfield. On the morn ing of eleetion he was at the Turf Tavern, after he had tote d. There was a I urge number of people there, and witness was asked for a gallon or two of ale, and Mr. Scarlrtt (who was there also) was asked for some ale, and he ordered three barrels to be fetched from his own brewery. The list wit ness (Barnwell) took no part in asking for ale. Mr. Scar lett is a brewer. n mei-examine ion, this witness said what took him to the Turf was, be and Mr. Scarlett were picking up voters to take them to the poll. They heard the la,t witness (Halli well) was at the Turf, and they went there fur him. Richard Hoyle said he was at the Turf Tavern on the polling-day, and saw Scarlett and Jackson there. When they came in, they inquired for Halliwen. The men in the houso " kicked " (asked) Scarlett for some beer. Half-a• gallon was then brought in ; and after that Mr. Searlett arked them what else they wanted. They asked fur some more beer, and Mr. &►rlett wrote a note for three barrels, which witness took to Scarlett's brewery. Witness returned to the Turf, and said the beer would be up in a few minutes. The s beer came before witness left the Turf. When witnes. came back from the brewery, the witness Halliwell was not at the Turf. The witness had previously said Halliwell was at the Turf when he came back. The Chairman (Mr. Walpole) said they had so much pre varication, if not perjury, in that room, that he was deter mined to endeavour to s op it. The short-hand writer was then directed by the commit tee to read over this witness's evidence, in which those con tradictory statements were recorded. One of the committee (Mr. Mitchell) uid it was clear the witness was perjuring himself. The Chairman said it was evident be must take some stringer measures than he had yet done with those wit nesses. This witness had made three different statements. The chairman then put the question to the witness egt.in, and the latter said Halliwell was at the Turf when be came back from the brewery, but not when the beer came. Seer ten and Jackson were also at the Turf when witness came back from the brewery, and Halliwell went away with them to vote. After they had gone, the beer came from the brewer!. It might be half an hoar after they went that the beer came. Henry Seariett was next called. He stated that he re membered being at the Turf on the morning of the elec tion. The customers asked him for some beer, as he was brewer. He recollects there was an order sent fa some beer. That beer positively did not come before witness left the Turf. He does not know the witness lialliwell by name. hut believes he went with witness and several other persons, to the polling booth. Witness did not canvass any district for Mr. Stanstield. Crass-examined.—Went to the Turf to get a voter,(Halli well), but it was Jackson who " had to do with it Will not swear he (witness) did not ask Halliwell to come and vote. Will not swear whether he wrote the order himself or not for the beer. Is not in the habit of getting drunk, but his memory is not good enough to serve him now to sly whether or not he wrote the order himself for the beer. His motive for giving the beer eras that the landlord of toe Turf might become his customer. The reason he stopped 15 or 20 minutes at the Turf was to accommodate his friends. Doss not remember who those friends were, ex cept Jackson. Won't swear he did not take old Halliwell by the arm to lead him to the phaexon to go to the poll. Mr. John Cro.slaad said, after the election he met Mr. Turner, and he began to talk about the publicans' bills, and said they ought to be paid. Turner said he had got no money. He (witness) looked over the accounts. and volun teered to find money, and he paid Turner 8221. to discharge the bills, thinking that some of Mr. fitanstield's supporters would enter into a subscription to repay him a part. He destroyed those bills before he was served with a writ to produce, because he heard there was a petition to be got up, and he wished to put the petitionen to as mach expense as possible. Mr. Farrar then summed up for the petitioners, and Mr. Pickering haying replied ou the part of the sitting member (Mr. Mansfield), The committee adjnurned to this morning. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 15, 1853. CIRENCESTER. When the committee re-assembled yesterday morn ingA, witness named Cotes gave evidence that at the last election he went round with one band. Besides being a shoemaker by trade, he is a pugilist—not by prole:non, but through choice. He raw Mr. Ponionby canvassing. Saw Cousins with him. He means in tho crowd—not actually ineompany *ith Mr. ronamby. He never raw Cousins gin Clarke anything. Ile may bare said on Saturday that Cousins gave Clarke some 31. notes, but on Saturday he was e. the worse for beer." Bofors Legg polled he did not see Clarke give him anything. He got some wins yesterday . from Mr. Chubb, as well as being ' beery" on &Wedgy. He has not been sober for a week—l. to say" sober. (Laughter.) On croes-easmination, the witness said he was " on the --- fly" before be left Cirencester, and has not been very sober since. He was told by Mr. Watley beton, he left Cirences ter that if be came up to London and made out a case his fortune was to be made. He understood his fortune was to be made by Lord Villiers. They " got held of him" at Cirencester, and three or four bottles or wine were produced, and he " laid it on pretty strong " before he was questioned. It was Mr. Chubb got hold of him. His evidence was taken down when he was tipsy. What he said about the Ll. notes was " gammon." Borah Stevens said he was at the Black Horse public-house, kept by Robert Arnold, a taw days before the election. Cousins was there also, and Cox, Mr. Newmarsh's clerk. Cox asked if there were any voters there, and Jr. Black well answered Yes " He had not prom o ed his vote. Cox asked if he'd vote for Mr. Ponsonhy, and he replied he had no objection, and he supposed he (Cox) had no abjection to his drinking Mr. Ponsonby's health. Cox than went and fetched a quart of ale from the bar and laid it on the table, and Blackwell drank out of it. Arnold, the landlord, then asked what had ho dune, and then Cox brought out more beer, and Arnold partook of it. Cross-examined—Witness is not a voter now. He is a pauper. He was a voter before the Reform Bill passed. That was the good old time, when there was no stint. He had what he liked in those days to drink, and 101. for his vote. He has had meat , nd drink since he came to London, hut at his own expense. Hs got 25e. to take him to Lon don. He stops at the Craven Hotel. (Laughter.) Why shouldn't paupers have some money of their own ? (Moth laughter.) He paid 12a. 6d. out of the 245. for his r.tilway fare to town. The remainder of the money he had safe in his pocket. (Laughter.) The committee then adjourned to this day. The greater part of yesterday wu occupied by Mr. Serjcant Kinglike (In continuation front S iturday) in his reply on behalf of the sitting members. lie dwelt at great length on the law of the cue as applying to the travelling expenses paid to messengers and voters for the sitting mem bers. The learned sr rjeasst concluded at about halt-put three o'clock by calling Mr. Sharpe, of the firm of Sharpe and Harriman, I,sw agents fn: Sr A. Cockburn, who stated that ha bad received instructions from that gentleman to take the utmost care that nothing approaching impropriety should be attempted in the management of the election. So far as he (witness) was concerned, those instructions were acted upon to the best of his ability ; and not only so, but he gave it as his opinion that no provisos* election a: Southampton was ever conducted with more perfect propriety. The witness wu cross-examined by Mr. Sewell, with a view to show that the messengers employed by the 'sitting members' oommittee were exclusively voters, and that the sums they r,ceired as payment for tb. ir services as messen gers were, in fact, paid fur the purpose of unduly influencing their votes. The witness distinctly denied that that was the case. The committee then adjourned to this morning. WINDSOR. Yesterday, on the re-assembling of the committee, several wituessi.6 were ex twined, to show that bids still un paid had been run up by the agents of the sitting member. and that the agents of the sitting member came there and bad refreshments. Thomas Wilkins deposed that he was lender of the "rough , ," and was so truployed and paid by Vuules. Was the Turn Spring of th..t party—(laughter)—and had instruc tions from Voules to see that everything went right and comfortable. (Laughter.) Saw that no one was insulted or upset. itsecived 61. from Voules for hi. strait's. He paid the "rough.;' 7s. 6d. a dayter V.eir services, and paid away 211. on this account. Was fidd marshal over 10i) " roeghs." That was not the largest utintlier of " rioagha" ever ernt.ioyed at a W.ndsor election ; in Mr. R'atter's time thin were seventeen times that number. (Loud lacahter.) . . , Toe curanuttce then adjourned to this day. MALDON. Several witnesses were adduced to prove bribery and traauog on the part of the sitting member and his agents. A witness named Hearne proved that be had received for the purpose of voting for the sitting member, two sum Lf 21. and V. each, u for esocuses. . . Several other witnesses wt re examined to show that u en inducement to vote they had received promisee before the election, and on the polling day that their expellees should he paid, which they had received from Mr. Hunt through Mr. Oxley Parker. Other witnesses were called to prove agency on the pert of the committee of the sitting member, and one stated that on the Wednesday before the election a sum of 504 was paid over to tradesmen and oat rs. Adjourned to this day. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. UNIvERSITY of EDINBUR(III.—AgreenbIF to the resolution of the Associated Societies of the University of Ediuburgh, to appoint an Honorary President. a meeting was held oa Friday night in one of the large eass• rooms, for the purpose of nominating a candidate to the office. Mr. Skelton, of the Diagnostic, proposed Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer as President. Mr. Brown, of the Hunterian Me• decal, briefly seconded the nomination. Mr. Sinclair, of the Hunterian Medics!, after some discussion as to whether it was competent to bring forward a candidate who had not been communiceted with, obtained permission to propose, in Ipposition to 84 Edward Bulwer, tee Duke of Argyll. He did so chiefly on the ground that as Scotchmen they should select ono of their owu countrymen in preference to an Englishman. The feeling of the meeting was de cidedly exhibited in favour of Sir Edward Bulwer. Notwithstanding which, Mr. Sinclair demanded a poll for the Duke of Argyll. The election takes place on the 13th instant. Wo may add, that it was at one time in contem plation to bring forward our distinguished representative in ptrliameat, Mr. T. 11. Macaulay ; but on being communi cated with on the subject, ha declined, in the following terms to allow himself to be put in nomination : "Albany, London, Feb. 26, 18.53.

I am truly sorry Out I must decline the honour they wish to confer on me. But the state of my health is each that I shall probably be under the necessity of passing text winter in a milder climate ; and I should think it disrespectful to the Associated So cieties to accept the office of President unless I had reason to expect that I should he able to perform the duties of that office in person.-1 have the liaisonr to be, sir, your faithful servant, (Signed) "T.

HAYMARKET. - -- Mr. Benjamin Webster took his farewell benefit here last night, when he ceased to be lessee and manager of the Haymarket Theatre—limiting his attention henceforth to the Adelphi, which has latterly proved by far the more profitable of the two enterprises. The entertainments of but evening presented no novelty, being " The Roused Lion," " A Novel Expedient," " The Pretty Girls of Stilberg, " and " Box and Cox Married and Settled." Previously to the last piece, Mr. Webster delivered a fare well address: AUCTION AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Yesterday an occasion out of the common order of theatrical representation drew together a speci.il audir nee at this temple of the lyric drama. A gentleman to whom the valuable properties of tt e theatre and the tenant's fiz tures were mortgaged four years since attempted to realise his interest in the same, amounting to about 12,0001., through the agency of Mr. Scott, auctioneer, of Broad. street. At 2 o'clock all corners were admitted on purchase of a shilling catalogue, in which were displayed 1,•500 lets of various value from " half a dozen di vils' tunics to the su perb fittings of her Majesty's boz." There were about 200 perir.ns present when the auctioneer ascended his rostrum on the stage, and announced the conditions of the sale— the whole property to be put up at 12,0001, and bidding, not to be less than 601. In introducing the property, Mr. Scott said the library' of music was, he believed by general acknowledgment, the finest collection extant. It consisted of 130 modern operas, 150 old operas, and the music for 100 ballets. The ward robe consisted of nearly 8,000 dresses. It had been errangod to offer the property in one lot, in the hope that some gentleman would come forward and purchase it, and thus the theatre might be kept open daring the present season. If it were not sold in one lot it would be offered piecemeal on Thursday next and following days, and then it would be impossible to open the theatre this year. He hoped some gentleman present would allow him to add 501. to the upset price. A long pause having ensued, without any offer being made, Mr. Maddox, late of the Princeses Theatre, complained that the parties present really could not know what they were going to buy. They had only been admitted to the theatre an hour previously, and there had been no time to examine the property. 1 here was not even a catalogue of the music, which he considered was the most valuable portion of the property. Mr. Scott said he had the catalogue, which was open to the inspection of aay one who desired to see it. Mr. Strutt inquired if the copyright of the music was in cluded its the sale. _ _ Mr. Scott replied certainly not. The music was chit fly in manuscript scores. The lot was now formally offered three several times and no increased bidding being made, the auctioneer announced that the property would be offered once again on Thurs day next, at the same upset price, and if not then pur. chased, it would be sold in lots as described in the cata logue. Mr. Maddox said the price was too high. He would not object to give 7,0001. for it. Mr. Scott said no reduction would be made on tho upset price. As the crowd retired from the theatre some wag seated himself at the organ, and pealed forth the solemn tones of a (sacral dirge. SPORTING. TATTERSALLI3.—MONDAY.

The bankrupt, Edward Gibson, had carried on business, in partnership with George Sturt, as a banker at St. Albans. They were made bankrupts about four years ago, and in April, MO, their certificates were altogether re fused. Sturt oLtained protection from the Lords Justices ; the case of Gibson now came before the court on petition. The petition W.PI filed some weeks ago, and stated that the Petitioner was now residing at No. 16, Rue dr Moulin-A- Vapeur, Boulogne, baring been out of the country since his protection was refused ; that he was supported by a small allowance from Lie mother-in-law. He prayed that the court would grant him protection from arrest or impri sonment, and would be pleased to recall or reverse any cer tificate that might have been granted to creditors under the 257th section. At • former sitting his Honour expressed a doubt whether he had jurisdiction in the matter ; and to-day was appointed to hear arguments on the question. Mr. l'reutice, in support of the petition, referred to various clauses in the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, and to two eases betere the Lords justices—those of Holt house and ltufford—where protection had been granted, though the certificates had been refused altogether. M. Bagley and Mr. Lint:later, each representing credi tors, contended that the court had no jurisdiction, as the petitioner merely sought to have a re-hearing of his case, which had already been decided on, ;and had not been appealed against as the statute directed. His Honour said the point was one which he should not decide without consideration. If the petitioner had re mained in this country, in all probability he would have been at liberty now, as the longest period he could have been imprisonel was 12 months. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTERDAY. BROWN M. SnitANT ADlll±, ASSIPTAMT JUKIK. The sittings of the court for the March General Session were resumed this morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Serjt. Adams, Assistant-Judge, and a bench of magistrates The calendar elves the names of 83 prisoners for trial-71 fur felony, and 12 for misdemeanour. The Assistant-Judge, after the grand jury had been sworn, made a few observations against the abolition of the punishment of transportation, until some good system of secondary punishment was established. Ile then addressed them on the nature of their duty, and dismissed them to their room. _ _ Dinswid Knight, 27, was indicted, on the prosecution of the Society for the Suppreuion of Vice, for having unlaw fully published certain wicked and obscene libels, and also pictures of the same character. The defendant, under the advice of his counsel, pleaded Guilty to the charge. It appeared that the defendant was a printer in Caroline place, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, and a number of the libels to which the indictment referred were found on his premises by the officers of the society. Mr. Metcalf, for tho defendant, ura.d that his client bad not been systematically engaged i• this kind of traffic. It appeared that he was apprenticed to a printer who printed such things, and in a moment of temptation he had himself issued some which were in his possession. Mr. Clarkson, for the prosecution, said nothing was known previously of the defendant. The Assistant-Judge having remarked that the court, in cases of this kind, usually passed very severe sentences, said, I under all the circumstances of the present one, he should sentence the defendant to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour ; but at the same time the defendant must understand that if he ever came before the court again on a similar charge, he would unquestionably receive a sen tence of two years. J. Dye, 19, and J Webb, 19, pleaded guilty to • charge of having .'olen I portmanteau and other articles, value 11. .51., the property of Sir Joseph Bailey. Between three and four o'clock on the morning of the 26th of last month constable 124 B was on duty in Delgrave square. and was attracted to the area of No. 26, the resi dence of Sir Joseph Bailey. nearing persons talking be low he communicated with his sergeant, and they went down into the ares, and thence into the cellar, the door of which hail been forced open, and there they found the prisoners, both of them drunk, with empty bottles lying beside them. After tearching they found a portmanteau, packed with six bottles of wine, ready for removal. The prisoners had, when the police arrived, finished one bottle of port, two of sherry, and two of ale. Dye, against whom there way a previous conviction, was sententenced to twelve, and Webb, who was not known, to sit months' hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. After the hearing of the emigrants' complaint against the firm of Messrs. W. S. Lindsay, on Saturday, the committee, having revised their list of awards for compensation, and made • considerable reduction in the gross amount, met Mr. W. S. Lindsay and his solicitor, who agreed to all the propositions as they stood. Yesterday, however, one of the complainants applied to Alderman Finnis for a sum mons against Mr. Lindsay, fur the return of 441. passage money and reasonab:o compensation, alleging as his objec tion to the settlement of the question, that the list was re vised and the matter arranged by the two leading members of the committee only, the other five having accidentally got separated from them in the crowd while leaving the court on Saturday. Applicant complained that only 51. 10s. compensation had been awarded to him, is addition to his own !mane money, and • similar amount was offered to his fellow passangtr. Alderman Finnis said he understood the arrangement was made by the committee, and that all the emigrants had agreed to abide by their decision; and he could not, there fore, reopen such an important question after it had been once settled. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Stanton, a lad about 14 years of age, was charged with stealing a great coat, value 255., the property of Daniel Box. tailor, 38, Regent-street. William Wareham, shopman to tho prosecutor, deposed that on Saturday night, about half-past seven, he suddenly missed a coat from the insiie of the shop dour, and, on run ning out to see who had taken it, he was astonished at seeing the prisoner, about twelve yards off, coolly folding up the garment. Witness ran after him and took the cost produced from him. The prisoner, who had no defence to otter, was committed fur trial. SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly report of the directors contains the following passages : The directors have to report, that the receipts of the South Eastern Railway Company for the half year ending on the 31st of January, 18.53, Lave been 424,5471. Bs. 91, including 3801. 131. 9d. received of the Brighton Company for toll ; and the working expenses end renewals, 151,069/. 13s. The sum of 6,2151. 16s. has been laid aide for re newal of permanent way. The rates, texts, and tolls amount to 15,9801. 164 2d.; the government duty to 13,1711. 14s. 4d.; the tents ut the Greenwich and Canter bury and Whitstable Railwaya to 24,4151. lc RI. ; which SUMP, in addition to the interest on the mortgage debt, Sautb-Eastern annuities and guaranteed stock of the com pany, 74,2001. 12s. Id., make a total deduction from the gross earnings of 285,0531. 12s. &I. The profit and loss account thaws a credit of 8591. lls. after providing for the last dividend, also a sum of 1691. 3s. 4,1. for dividend and interest on Canterbury and Whitstable securities in the hands of the company, and is debited with the sum of 3.2701. ss. 91 for parliamentary expenses, and 7881.45. Bd., being one-third of the loss sustained by fire at the com pany's works at Ashford, leaving a balance available for dividend of 136,4811. Os. sd. Trio whole increase of domes tic traffic during the half-year is 34,6311. 12s. 4d., a fact which the directors cannot but consider will be gratifying to the proprietors. Of this, 12,0471.165. 7d. is derived from the goods traffic ; 4,938'. 4s. 92. Is to be attributed to hop traffic : there was a diminution, however, during the half year of 2,1331. 7s. 91 owing to a deficiency in the crop of fruit and vegetables. In the half-year ending on the 31st January, 1852, the number of miles run by engines was 1,337,531; the coke cod-timed was 14,583 tans; the total cost being 13,616/. Is. Ild., or 2.44321 per mile. During the last half-year, the number of miles run by engines was 1,425,358; the coke consumed was 16,910 tons-being an average of 26.6711 lbs. per mile, at a cost of 14,6081.95. Bd., or 2.4597 d. per mile. The engines, therefore, ran 87,826 miles more last half-year than in the corrc.;ponding half of the preceding year, and consumed 2,325 tons more coke, at an increased charge of 992/. 75. 91. The total running of the engines has cost 8.6512. per mile, which includes 3.251 d. per mile of repairs and renewals. The accounts presented at the last half-yearly general meet ing showed that the sum of 88,7721. ss. was duo from pro prieton in arrear of calls. During the last half year 29,9771. 13s. 42. has been received from proprietors in arrear, and the !UM now due on shares forfeited and to be forfeited is 59,7941. lls. Sd. 49,378 1 . 18s. 42. is due on account of stares of which no:ice of forfeiture has been given, and 9,4151. 133. 4d. on shares of which notice of for feiture has been prepared for the present meeting. When the resolution is passed, Um whole question may be dealt with at once, and the capital account to that extent closed. The amount of the mortgage deht of the company on the 31st January, 1932, was 1,937,0601., bearing interest at an average rate of 4 375 per cent. per annum; on the 31st July, 1832, the amount was 1,859,9731., at 4.259 per cent. per annum ; and on the 31st January last the debt was 1,932,67.31., bearing the reduced interest of 4.1049 per cent. per annum. In addition to the capital shown to have been expended to the 31st January last, the directors have to state that there will be a further outlay in works and buildings now in progress, which will reach the sum of 70,0001., and any out.a) beyond this sum must be in the discretion of the PrOprietors having regard to the prospective advantages to be derived from it, and the directors will take the earliest opportunity of placing the matter in a shape fm their decision." A BERT' DETERMINED CASE OF SUICIDE occurred near the Hampton station on the London and North ‘Vest crn Railway, about nine miles south of Birmingham, un Saturday nigi:t. A man named (Lover, a carpenter, meid log in the neigilbourhJoil, laid hi.usell down iu a gutter by the side of the railway with his head across the rails ; the down train prised at ll o'clock and completely severed the head from the body.
