I had some conversation with a pawn mimed Mitchell, and we came to an understand ing about the election. I saw Job Apted afterwards, and told him that Mitchell wanted to be on Gower's com mittee. He was to be paid for his work, but no precise torn was mentioned. Mitchell is a voter. We were to be paid according to what we " done." By the Chairman—That was for our labour, and not for our votes. Exandisation continued—After the election I applied to Yr. Gower for the balance of my account I was to have Si., and had rewired 31. He gave me U. sad told me to go to his house for some refreshment. He did net give me a note. I did not show a note to Mitchell or Smith. I received • cheque for the Si, from Mr. Smith. I showed the cheque to Mitchell. There is 11. due to me at the present time for work. I charged for the trouble I my bad in arranging with Mitchell and other odd jobs. The arrangement with Apted was made five or six weeks bdore the election. I had to see some persons and take cede= to the printers. I saw a neighbour, who said he would not vote for less than 5/. His name was Funnel'. I told Apted, who said be would not get anything. He voted for Monson. I have been paid better for lees work. (laughter.) Cress-examined by Mr. Karslake—Mr. Gower came down early in May. I did the work in the evening generally. I charged for five weeks. The election was on the 12th July. I applied for payment in September. I had about fourteen or fifteen miles to go to Mr. Gower's house. He told me be had nothing to do with election payments, and that any claim must be settled by Mr. Smith. lie gave me the IL on account of the distressed state of my family, of which I had told him. James Balchin, examined by Mr. Biron—l am a labourer. I voted for Gower at the last election. I was canvassed by Durrant. He faked how I was going. I said the same way am the other workmen. I saw Chitty afterwards before the election. He brought me 11. at that time, and 355., three or four weeks after the election. I was out one night before the election re s pecting dap. I was at the Barley Mow on several occasions. The were 30 or 40 electors present We had as much drink as we liked. I did not see who paid for it. Goddard and me and Warren were at Groom's house the night before the election. My shoes were taken out of the room. Crom*examined by Mr. Karslake—l was promised six weeks' work by Mr. Brown on the other side, and received Si. for it. (Laughter.) I tried to get some votes for them. James Apted paid me the money. That was before the election. I was not asked to do anything for Mr. Cower. I took some poles down for flagstaffs on the night before the olling. Re- p examined—The other side (Monson's) didn't set me so'obs. (Laughter.) Mr. Kanlake objected to the next question, " Why did you vote for Gower !" Mr. Dutton (a member of the committee)—lt has been proved that the voter is a corrupt voter by taking money on both ides. It was stated in the opening that there were no political principles at Reigate, and that no conser vative member had • chance ; but from what we have heard in the course of the investigation • conservative would probably have a good chance if be went down with piety of money. (Laughter.) William Johnson (examined by Mr. Biron)—l am a cobi riet-maker, and voted for Mr. Gower. I saw him canvas sing along with Apted, Smith, and other parties. I received directions from Smith to go and canvass as many persons se I could, and try if I could get them. Smith told me to go to Knight, and tell him if he liked to come he should have the same as the others. He told me to canvass as many as I bald and refer them to Bnckland, Apted, or Joyes. He told es I should be paid for what I did, and well too. He said what I paid out of my pocket for beer should be repaid to me. I made several payments. He gave me 10e. when I went to canvass Knight I expended 15/. sat of my pocket, as near as I can tell I sent ay bill to Buckland, and afterwards saw Smith. Re told me to call again to-morrow. (Laughter.) I did so, and received the same answer. At last I wrote to Mr. Gower. That was in November. I received • letter from Mr. Gower on the 11th Nov.,stating that he had forwarded ay letter to Mr. Smith, and theta' election matters must be transacted by his agent. I called on Mr. Smith, and re ceived 31. on account. He said he did not know when the remainder would be paid, but probably not before Mr. Gower took his seat. At a meeting in the Town-hall before the election I heard Mr. Gower said that all were to be paid, and well paid too. I was at the &Hewed meeting, where Mr. Gower said be hoped everyone would enjoy themselves, and go home quietly. There was a numerous meeting. There was not much drink for the quantity that was there. I yes at the Railway Inn a few nights before the election. Apted and thirty or forty others were there. We had what we liked to drink, The principal drink was ginger beer, cider, and shandy gaff. (Laughter.) It was all put down. The only thing I paid for was a penny biscuit. (The witness gave similar evidence with respect to the refreshment given at the other public-houses.] [Left sitting.) WSITILEI. 801711=1. Val* ..

A firm of "jobbers" stopped payment in the Stock Exchange yesterday, owing to considerable losses in foreign stocks. Their existing liabilities, however, are small. Owing to a fresh decline in the foreign exchanges, the large sum of 100,0001. in bar gold was with drawn from the Bank yesterday for the Continent, and it is stated that further amounts will follow. The flatness of the exchanges is caused by the recent extensive sales here of securities, on foreign ac count, combined with large shipments of silver from Marseilles on orders from this side. The French mail steamer, which will leave that port on the 19th inst. is expected to take about 400,0001., nearly all on English account. The Champion of the Seas has arrived from Mel bonnie with 64,5001. in gold ; and the Robert Henderson, from New Zealand, with 13,5001. The market for bar silver is firm, and the quo tation is maintained at Si. 1 3-Bd. to ss. lid. per ounce. The transactions, however, are rather less numerous at the moment. The demand for Mexican dollars continues, but the high price, ss. old., de manded by holders checks business in them.

Thus, then, it appears certain that the Emperor and Empress will present their son to the popula- tions of the departments, and that the young prince will learn early the wishes and wants of the populations at the same time that he is made acquainted with their affection and devotedness." 100 100 100 100 100 100 THS NEW ATLANTIC TELRORAPH.—SHEERNESS, April 13.—The preparations on board the Great Eastern for receiving the new Atlantic telegraph have at last been com pleted, and the important work of stowing away the cable in the tanks prepared for its tion will commence this day (Saturday). The Iris, the hulk which was lent by the government to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited) for the purpose of bringing down the cable from the works at Mordan-wharf, East Greenwich, arrived alongside the Great Eastern on Wednesday, with upwards of 200 miles . of the new telegraph on board, and the work of winding it on board will continue without intermission till the whole is stowed away. At the end of June or the beginning of July, according to present arrangements, the Great Eastern will again commence her hazardous enterprise of laying the cable which everyone connected with the work is sanguine will 'this time be ac complished. The ship has behaved herself exceedingly well during her winter residence in Sheerness Harbour, and notwithstanding that her immense broadside has been exposed to some of the heaviest gales ever known, it has never been necessary on any occasion to get up steam, as her anchorage has been quite sufficient for her security. EXTRAORDINARY ACClDENT.—Thursday, the last day of the seacon with Mr. Johnstone's hounds, was marred by a very serious accident to Mr. William I'Anson, the well-known trainer, at Halton. The meet was at Howe bridge, three miles from Melton, and the fox took the fiat country towards the Wolds. The run, in consequence, messed the river Des-went at a deep place. Monne, Lord Middleton's huntsman, took the Mahon and Whitby Railway , and crowed by the long wooden viaduct over - the river: He gave the caution "'ware hole" to Mr. TAnson, who was close behind, bet before be could poll up his horse went through the rotten boarding of the bridge. Mr. I'Anson was pinned down under the animal, and sustained severe injury in the head from contact with the metals, and was kicked several times by the trapped home. Added to this, a train was rapidly coming down on the same line, but Morgan galloped for ward, and succeeded in arresting the driver's attention, and thus saved both Mr. I'Anson and his hone from being run over. Mr. I'Anson was delirious on Thursday night, but was conscious and reported favourably of yesterday. TAKE THE HAREEM Orr.—When a draft horse falls in the streets of London, the uniform method of pro ceeding is to try all ineffectual expedients to get him on his legs again. First he is whipped in vain, next he is hauled to no better purpose ' sometimes the attempt is made to lift him bodily without success, but at last, after a vast deal of pulling and vociferation, in slow but sure process of time some one cries, " Why don't you take the harness o ff!" The harness is taken off, and up jumps the hone. The case of the North umberland is like that of the fallen horse. The ship has been buoyed, battered, bumped, but has made no response to the combined efforts of compulsion and persuasion. And many more trials are in store for her ; for mechanical in genuity is at work to devise e x pedient . for her deliverance, all of which will be infallible till they are put to the proof. Bat when all contrivances shall have been exhausted, some commonplace person will raise the cry, " Why don't you take the harness off ? And the harness will be taken off, the prodigious weight of iron which bolds down the ship, and she will glide into the water like a duck. The Northam bmhind has been too much completed, or too much built we may say, for launching ; and to correct the mistake she will have to be partially taken to pieces again. The east will be great, but it is better to submit to it than to the loss of the ship, or even the loss of more valuable time in vain endeaveara. What must be dose at last is lest done at first. The Nerthumberiand is in the pre dicament of a stranded ship, and like it most be lightened to get her affest.—ffteseeisser.

Forthwith be consulted his own medical man, who tried to laugh him out of the notion, but to no purpose. The farmer then went off to an old well-known practitioner, who being a bit of a wag, and seeing bow matters were, entered minutely into the details of the ease. expressed his concurrence with the patient's views, and told hint he could mire him. He then wrote a prescrip tion, sealed it up, and told the farmer to go to a certsua drusint in the next Pottery . town. The farmer lost no time In going with the prescription, but was somewhat startled when the druggist showed him the formula which ran thus :—" This man has got the cattle plague, take him into the back yard and shoot him according to act of li am ent." There is no need of saying that thiswan a "P erfect cure."—Alai iettehl Courier.
