Sir Charles Forbes has contributed the munificent sum of 601. towards the fends of the Leicester•Kuare Soup Kitchen. The committee of the Philanthropic Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Male Offenden on Wednesday made their report, which stated hed that the late William Denison, Esq., M P., had bequeat the society 5001. free of duty ; W. Ilecombe, Esq., 1001. ; and E B. Viyoll, Esq , 601. The committee bed also re ceived a beautiful karmonicon (small organ) for the chapel, from a friend, who had long been a liberal contributor to the society. A handsome stained window, for the east sad of the new chapel, had been also presented by W. Glad stone. Esq., the treasurer. The new model firm school at Red Hill, on the Brighton road, is now nearly completsd, and greedy contains 83 brie, whose ages vary from 13 to 18 years. When wholly flushed, which will be shortly, the boys who are now in the institution in St. Oeorgestiolds. Southwark, will be removed, and the London establishment broken up. OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM EVESHAM. In a southerly and westerly direction from the con fines of Worcestershire into the heart of Oloucester shire, runs the Vale of Evesham, one of the most highly cultivated and prolific or our English district*. Take the - whole country t' rough, and no fairer scene will meet the eye than this expanse of fertile land. From the Leekhamptoo Hills, above Cheßealism, from Round-down Hill over Moreton in the Marsh, and, on the western side, from that glorious range on which are situated Great sod Little Malvernr— the corn fields, the orchards, the pastures, and the smiling villages of this brood valley charm the eye, the whole country " abounding with exam," and the eager,' Avon glittering through the midst of it se "Irks a diver IMO Phial/about carelessly, it shines afar." At the northern extremity of this fair valley is a promontory, or tongue of land,—a spar from the chain of hills round which the Avon witds its course. On its summa, overlooking the river and the valley, to which the hills slope down, there stands all that now remains of the ancient monastery of Evesham. Of yore, its mitred abbots sheltered monarchs in its ho► pnable chambers ; now, a shattered wall, the truces of a cloister, and one noble tower, that has braved the ravages of time and civil dircord, alone are lift to beer witness of their greatness. The town of Evesham nestles under the eli monastic rein. It is a place that derives a great charm from the singularity of its position. The Avon flows in the shape of a horsy-shoe round the promontory, leaving the town but one natural ap proach, It was in defending this that the battle of Evesham was lost by the Earl of Leicester, and the King's authority reestablished in the due of Henry of Winchester. lhe vales of the bad spa e= montory being very great for the pturpees ing, erpecAlly where the aspect is to the south or west, Ewham, itself contracted into a small space for a market town, has thrown out a suburb as large nearly as the town itself. Tel. suburb is situated on the east side of the river, and is known as Beep worth. For all political and municipal purposes it is united with Evesham, which thus comprises two towns in one borough. The Louses in Bengeworth are almost all the property of Lord Northwick, and this will at owe account for the circumstance that down troths dose of the last century a Rushout invariably repthensted Evesham. In fact, from the Commonwealth to the year 1790, only three names are to be met with in the history of Evesham elections. The Rush- I outs held one gest ; the other wee contested by the families of Rudge and Rouse, the former being the representatives of an Alderman of t London, who bought the abbey lands and settled ! at Eves h am about the period of the Restoration ; the house's being an ancient Worcestershire family of that name, now represented by Sir William Edward Rouse-Boughton who was himself the hero (or vic tim) of a celebra ted Evesham contest. It war in the year 17 90 that an attorney of Eves ham, of the name of Lavender, took advantage of circumstances which at that time occurred, to eats.- blush direct money influence amongst the electorate. I He succeeded so well, that he not only opened the wooed seat at the very first election, but in 1796 i Sir John Rushout himself was unseated, a Mr. Charles Thelluson, a new candidate, being brought in at the head of the poll in opposition to him. 'rte ministry of the day created Sir John Rushout Baron - Northw.ck, to mitigate his disappointment; but nearly a quarter of a century elspeed before the Rushouts re * appeared as c indidates toe the representation of the (7 town which they had lost. 97 In the meantime Benham was handed over to the at local attorneys, who played havoc with the place, and 106 muted for it one of the worst reputations attaching : 1 1 to any English borough. A regular price was 712 established for the votes flee guineas for ,002 a split vote and ten guineas for a plumper. 762 So recognised and established was the per - chase, that in one instance, immediately the vote Ml was given, a cheque or slip o f piper was delivered, at 694 3 9 4 the hustings, to t'.e voter, who carried it to the can didates banker, by whom "the fee" was immediately 767 paid. The attorneys were not by any means mistime 929 ler who were the candidates, so that they were cone patent men, in their se of the word. They wtre , 107 usually East or West India merchants in London.' 131 Mr. Crawford Bruce, the father of the present Lady 712 Hawarden, was elected with Mr. Thellueon in 1802. bas Mr. William Manning, a West India proprietor, and 184 Sir Manasseh Massey Lopez, of borough:mongering 24 notoriety, were returned in 1807. But ab rut this ' 623 time, the Evesham attorneys began to overshoot 126 their mark. It is impossible for gentry of this description to keep themselves free from legal quibbles and epectostions upon the decision of the courts. The ancient right of election in Evesham 356 was vested in the mayor, aldermen, and capital 267 and common burgesses—the capital burgesses being 4 64 those elected into the corporation, and the common 317 0 burgesses those who derived their right by descent. 47 768 At this eleciion, however, a pretence was set up that 7,27 ell the freeholders within the borough had a right 318 to vote under the charter, and Ste Manasseh Lopez was accordingly retuned by the soot and lot. A 182 tit petition was the consequence. hhe Belt and Lite were declared not to possess the right to vote, 38 and Sir Manasseh was unseat. d; his opponent at the poll, Mr. Humphrey Howorth, obtaining the seat, which he held from that period down to 1820. In 1812 Mr. Manning, who was a tory, and Mr. 62 Howorth, who wee a whig, ware returned upon a )7 cimpromise ; but in 1818 a violent contest occurred 12 in Benham, the candidates being Mr. Howorth, the 10 old member, and Sir Ve m. Rouse Boughton and Sir )9 Charles Cockerell, as claimants of the seat which o Mr. Manning then relinquished. Sir C-arles Cockerel' 3 was the soson-law of the first Lord N .rihwick, and T came forward avowedly upon his lordship's interest ' in the borough. Sir William Boughton appeared as " the third" candidate and on independeat principles. The contest upon this, occasion lasted 12 days, from the 19th of June to the 2nd of July. At this time the practice cf treating was c irried on to an enormous extent. Upwards of 20,0001. is mid to have been nt at this electi in in mere gorg in g and One night's suppers ordered by Mr. Roworth's agent were estimated to cost 7501. For suppers for • party of 27 at a eines tavern the bill sent in to the candidate was 1191. 15e., or upwards of 41. ele. a head. The result of this most corrupt elect ion was the return of Mr. Howorth sod Sir W. E. R. Binghton on the poll, the numbers being for Howorth 410, Boughton 359, Cockerel' 341. But the losing candidate he ving petitioned the House of Commons for a scrutiny, Sir William Boughton was unseated. and his opponent declared the sittii g mem ber. This occurred entirely fr. in accident. .4 number of "paymasters," or soot and lot voters, had polled for both parties. Sir Charles Cockerell bed objected to these votes upon the poll of hie ant igonist, bat Sir Edward Boughton's agent omitted to take the nem guy steps for striking them cif the poll upon the other side. The error being taken advs.. tee. of, the scrutiny was decided in favour of Sir Charles Cockerel. In 1820, Mr. Howorth retired. He had spent a fortune at Evesham, and after all he wt.@ extremely badly used by those who had the management of his affairs. In consequence of his resignation, Sir Charles Cockerell and Sr Edward Boughton were returned together unopposed. A 'acing was occasioned by the retirement of the latter on the dirsolte ion of the parliament in 1826. Two candidates pre*. ate' them selves, Mr. Edward Protheroe, Jun., sin of a former member for Bristol, and Sir Roger Greeley, who afterwards sat for Derbyshire. Sir Roger Greeley was' introduced by an attorney, who, at this time, had succeeded in creating a new and distinct influmcc, which has since played a very distinguished part in Evesham. Theparty which he organised called themselves "The Blues." " The Blues" consisted of a class of voters of no very good standing, weeders from both amps, who former: themselves into a corps having for their avowed ob l oot to take advantage of any peculiarity in tee poi ' non of either of the ackuowledg. d parties. They were the very " Swiss" of pal tics, prepared to take which ever side would pay them b ist—to range themselves under any leader who would buy their services. Sir Roger Greeley came down to Evesham es the understanding with the " Blue" agent that his! previous canvass of the voters resident in the I borough and in Birmingham should cost so more then 3001. If he then liked the prospect sufficiently to go on, he was to speed what might be required ; and. Sir Roger placed 5,0001. in the Benham Bank oa that understanding. Loop he wever ketore iota mfr. viotta canvass was over, Sr Roger Greeley found himself exposed to plunder. First of all, he was re quested to give " some little suppers." Having stipu- kW alto the expense of them,hebanded ore r a cheque for the amount, but of this not a farthing was ewer paid the publicans, who sent in their bills, for nearly, doable the amount agreed, to Sir Roger himself, de elating _that they could get nothing from anybeg Kee. Hint, it seems, Sir Roger was requested to adi. vanes" a few pounds to some poor fellows who stood in need of a little assistance." Here area few samples of the communications made to Sr Roger by hie agent: On the of May : Kr. Geese seam to knew what is to be doss with these parties whiestamd Oa seed of • tittle oseistones. Oia the 2Srl at May Tonhaveingulrednatieshely as to those vitas who haw not premised, and hew thew totead togst I ems say rip peat that the ban of a entail non of money ee tie - ter which they will give a note of h.nd, will smile their ppeiss miss and sasses a vete. You must judge as to the of doing this ; all I can say is, that se awry simeises the MU Wag _has taken lime, and been coastaatly dens by every Tw eseumrs. o days after, co the 20th of May, the agent be came more imperative : No steps have been taken to fulfil the magsgemeab with the three or four per,..ons who want to borrow ma asses of money on their note, of hand, which, in truth, truer be tent to them. in order to secure them.

A sum not exceeding 1001. would assure ten or twelve promises; and if you intend to go into the contest with any probability of BUCltek you muse make up your mind. On the 2nd of June, the agent not having received the needful, wrote in the following tone of expostula tion and complaint : I have been store mortillml than you can emotive: instead of having the 2001 (!) remitted tome, whisk I should have atb vomited I. small seam, teethe purposed forwarding air Roger's eisedoe, see ass shil.ing has area seat me ; sad I have actually lost Mere became I could act lend live peva& I cannot borrow ; in fast, I will sot.

Sir Boger has asked me for en account ei what I have expended, although we agreed at 3001. How can he expect that I an make out an account at such a time a, this. What has mortified me move than common is, that I had not SOL to lend a 'alma man for a purpose that might ablaut ly gala bias a good property. Sir Roger not liking these communications, and other appearances connected with the contest, very wisely retired from the town, leaving Sir Charles Coekerell and Mr. Protheroe to obtain the election. Of course, the blue at orney was " thoroughly disgusted • with Sir Roger Oreeley's conduct, and assailed him in no measured language. At the dissolution of 1830 Mr. Protheroe informed the electors that he must decline to contest the town again, as "he could not submit to lend himself to so vicious and abominable a system as that which prevailed in it." " I plainly acknowledge," said he, my desire to renew our connexion. Uwe is no inemistency in this. With you, gentlemen, I I never had the slightest cause of dissatisfaction. It is with the old system of your borough that I quarrel : 1 with that unjust system, which, after faithful and dili gent service, accompanied by manly independence and disinterestedness in every speech and every vote, leaves me no hope of being re-elected, unless I conde scend to trafficfor my seat with those who barter away your privileges." This letter was a heavy blow and a great discouragement to the wbig agents. For a long time they could not get a candidate. It was only, indeed, when it was too late, that through the instru mentality of the present Sir John Easthope, Mr. Alex ander Raphael was brought down to Evesham. The tit ction which followed nearly led to the die- Aisement of the borough. [To he erntinued.l UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL °l7ol°.

At the sitting of the court their lordship' gave judgment in several cases in which motions for new trials had been made in the earlier part of the term. Tie Duce or But/ne wton Ileateza.—Tait WRIOLLY DISPATCH. The rule In this cams was moved on the 2nd inst. It 'SM an salon of libel brought spinet the prop: ietor of the Wee* Dispatch newspaper. The declaration set out libels in 1830, and also in 1847 and 1848. To that of 1830 there was a plea of the statute of ns ; there was no tion within six year& limitat io The peper that containing that libe lpublication had ca been sold to a person employed by the plaintiff to buy it, and it wee contended on moving for • new trial that this war the same as if he had purchased it himself, and therefore it could not be held that it was a sufficient publication for the corpus of a civil action, and that the judge misdirected the jury on this point. It was Who urged that the damages (6000 were excessive, inasmuch as even if there was • pub- Umtata of the libel of 1830, the jury ought only to have assessed damages for those of 1847 sad 1848. Tbe motion was also ramie on affidavits, that no paper of 1830 could have been bought at the office at the time of the alleged pur chase, as there was no copy there thee. The Coat were of opinion that there was • sufficient publicatioa of the libel within sic years by the purchase by the spat of the plaintiff, inasmuch as that fact was calcu lated to lower the prineipel in the eyes of the spat, and that the sat was complete by the delivery to him. With regard to the damages being suusive ' it was said that the Joy dimild have given damages only for the 'dual tea ant of injure peeved, which was limiest' to a single gob- Ileiden, but If this were allowed, it would have the Abet of the counts of the declaration, which was mi = l :l l e . gie four last contained reference to the forme Heroic', which which was thus incorporated wilt the latter. The jury were sufficiently informed on the subject, and drew their owe conclusions, and Lord Deumaa was satisfied with the damages. There would, therefore, be no rule on either (lithe points, but there would be a rule upon the affidavits. IKACINANA/LL v. O'CONNOR.-110LICITOR'S DIAL. Thh case was moved on the 3rd inst. It was an action. against Mr. Peeress O'Conaor, M.P. for Nottingham, oa a **licher% bill incurred for the 'defence of the chartist pri soners arrested foe natio* In June ,;1848. It was contended that the verdict was spinet evidence, and the question tamed ea whether W O'Connor had made himself r o of who or whether the liability rested on a numb peeenas who had associated themselves as a defence com mittee. The wart new said that they had consulted Lord Den man who had Wee) the cave, and he said that a strong case had been made out in evidence on both sides, and although t might not have bees the verdict he should himself have I returned, he was not prepared to say that the 07 were smug. The case had she ken moved on affidavits,ut b they did not disclose any new matter. There would, there fore, be no nth. WATAWAT O. FROST.—AN ATTOHNIT ACTING lITTHoTT INSTRUCTIONS. The motion foe • new trial in this case was made on the 6th inst. It was an action brought by • lodging-house keeper at Plymouth against an attorney, for wrouglully ap peering for him in an action brought against him by a third person, and defending it without his authority, the result of which was a judgment against him, on which execution had been levied. The rule had been moved for on the ground of misdirec 1, don and excessive damsel. The Court were of opinion that there should be no rale with regard to excessive damage' as it was impossible for them to measure the damages which ought to be paid for an I execution put Into the house of the plaintiff, and the learned judge told the jury that they ought to assess the da at the amount actua ll y levied, which he was entitled agest Basin v. RMS.—BRIBERY. The motion for a new trial was made on 9th inst. It was ea action to recover penalties under the Bribery Mt for bribing a voter at the last Harwich eleettea The learned judge held that as a promise had been made to pay a «vain sum for the recovery of • boat from a auditor of the voter's, together with the expenses, and the dodge* don did not allege the promise to pay the expenses, there was a material variance. This, it was contended, was • misdirectioa, and it war also contended that be should have amended the declaration, which he declined to do en ' Om ground of its being a penal action. The court now decided that there should be • new trial on the ground of misdirection, but no rule on the ground of the refusal of the learned judge to amend the declaration. He had been consulted, and stated that he had never doubted his power to amend, but that he did not think justice would be done by it. He had, therefore, exercised his discretion which they would not interfere with. SMITH v. ARCHIBALD. —ATTORNEY'S BILL This cos was moved on 6th inst. It was an action brought by an attorney against a director of the Staffordshire and Shropshire Railway Company, to recover the amount of his bill. The question turned on whether as a shareholder he was entitled to recover, whether he looked to a fund which had been raised for the payment of the liabilities of the com pany, and re whether he was gadded to recover for ea- vices performed after the lied November, 1846, whew the °miry was dissolved. The eest4 cut paced a rule. iIOdPIIII O. BLOIAN.-FICTITIOI7B SILK OP STOCK. Tile motion for • new trial was made on the 7tn instant. It was a q•i tun seas to recover penalties of the defendant under the Stork Jobbing Act. The defendant had been enee ployed to sell certain mock for • third party, which that person bad never been poseemed of, end he employed • .stock broker for the purpose. The querixi was, whether this wee each • negotiating sad likedollag in the sale of the stock as would bring him within the intention of the statute.

RIORT Or 7101 EXECUTORS Or 1c ORDINARY TO SUE ON AN ADEINIII. !NATION BOND. Tale ease came before the court on a demurrer. It was au action brought by the executrix of the late Archbishop of Canterbury cn an adminiati Won bond. The question wee whether it wu properly brought, or whether it should not have been In the nun of his summate., as ordinary. • Mr. Wititelturst and Mr. Atkinson appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. Willis and Mr T. Tayl r for the defendant. The Court were of opinion that there should be judgment fir the plaintiff. It was admitted that it was the rule of law that coorpustioas ale had no power to take penenal property by succession, while as regarded corporations aggregate, it did not go to individual muskets but to their successork If this were so, the plaintiff in this eau was the proper per son to sae. Tree status under whisk the bond was given only said that" the bond should be taken by the ordissay," sad it did not extend to his successors. The ecolesiastimd inert could exercise the some power in these casts whether the party to the bead was sued by the sueeessor of the ordinary or his representative, and the plaintiff was In fact merely a seminal one. It was a personal c' ninon made with a corpora ion tele, sad theeeteee the right to sue was in his repreeentatimm. BAIL COURT-YEanDAT, EXPARTI TROXBI.-COMMITTAL ET TMZ JUDGE RIP • Cowirs Coos?. Mr. Serjeant Chadwick Jones moved for • rule to show eases why a hnheas corpus should not keno to bring up Gorge Thomas, now a prisoner in the county gaol of Cardiff. In June last an order had been made by the judge of the county against the defendant for the payment 01 a debt, and be haring failed to pay the amount a judgment summons was served on him, which stet, d that if he oil not appear he would be com mitted to the gaol of Swansea. The defendant did net ap pear, and in October he was arrested under en order which committed him to Swansea gaol for 28 days, and he was taken to that gaol. When there, he ascertained that the Home Secretary bad declared that the gaol at Swansea was not to be used for committals from the county court. The clerk of the court was aint for, and when teld of the mistake, said he would inquire in to it at the office. The defendant was kept from four o'clock until eleven at night in the gaol, when the clerk of the court brought another order for his committal to Cardiff gaol. He was taken from Swansea gaol to a public ! house, and kept there that night. On the following day he was taken to the police station, and detained until the day after, when he was removed to Cardiff gaol; so that, in point of feet, the term of his imprisonment was extended to 30 days, instead of being 28. It was now contended that the judge of the county court had no power to commit the present applicant to Swansea gaol, and the issue of the new order did not prevent the first one being • nullity. Mr. J ustice Pennon—Hai not the applicant • remedy by action ? It • person is in proper custody at the time a ha beas corpus is applied fur, ought the court to interfere ? Mr. Serjesait JOINS urged that i was of great ooneequencie that strict regularity should be observed in the recess of the county courts. Tre costa in this case had been Increased by • charge of mileage which had ban unnecessarily in curred in taking the defendant in the first instance to Swansea. Rule granted.

Mr. Ball appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cockburn fee the defendant. The action wan brought to recover payment of a bill of ex change for 1021. 10a., accepted by the defendant, dated 11th of January last, drawn by Mr. Woods, furnishing tailor, Conduit-street, and indorsed by him to the plaintiff: From the evidence adduced it appeared tl at the defendant, who is a colonel in the army, was a customer of Mr. Wood,, and in the month of January last was indebted to that gentleman in the sum of 3821. 9s. In the month of October of !menu Mr. Woods wished for asettlement, but defendant not having cash, rent him two fifty pound bills at two mouths, in part payment, which bills were dishonoured, and Winn of them, the bill for which the present action is raised we. granted on the Ilth of Jesting, Mr. Woods on the same day indorsing it to plaintiff, who gave him a cheque for the amount, deducting lOs. Bd. of interest for the time the bill had to run. In the month of March fallouts& Mr. Moods being still anxious to have his claim aping the defendant settled, and knowing that he world in the course dooms time 000211 to be posamed of considerable property, obtained a judge's order, by consent, for the amount of his claim, which older was dated the 11th of March last. On the part of the defendant it wan pleaded that as the Judge's order incluifed the amount for which the pteunt bill wan granted, it would, should a verdict be given for the plaintiff, be, in effect, ranking him pay the sum twice over. That the bill was indorsed by Woods to the plaintiff, after the judge's order, for the amount of defendant's debt to ' the former gentleman was obtained, the conduct of Mr. Woods giving defendant every reason to believe that he was poisoned of the bill when he procured the order in ' question. It being, however, in evidence that Mr. Woods parted with the bill on the 11th of January, the day it was drawn ; that there was no mention of applying for a judge's order at the time it was granted; and that Mr. Woods told defendant's solicitor that such a bill existed previous to his consenting, on the part of defendant, to the judge's order being granted. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, for the sum sued, with interest. The other causes were of no intent, being all undefended. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—YESTERDAY. Itrrrotos in Banco. Conserve (A PAUPRR) v. SIR O. 01/11T, BART., AND ANO TBRIS. —ALLIORD FALSE inrIIIaoNIERNT. This was an action of trespass for false imprisonment al leered to ban been committed by Mr. Hudson, keeper of the Queen's Bench prison, in removing the plainti ff from one di vision to another. whi ch was set apart for misdemeanants of the first class, and against the Secretary of State for the Home Department, under whose orders the plaintiff's removal and detention in the "fleet clam" were effected. It appears Mr. Cobbett has been incarcerated for many years. He was originally in the Fleet prison under an attachment of the Court of Chancery, and. on the amalgamation of that establishment with the Queen's prison, he was transferred to the latter institution, where he c ontinued under certain rules and regulations issued by the Home Secretary. Mr. Colebett was removed in DA., 1847, to that part of the prison of which he complained, on the ground that be was illegally subjected there to in creased restraints and privations. The defendants pleaded a justification under an act of parliament passed in March last. Mr. Hudson justified himself as having acted under the orders oi the Home Secretary, who alleged as his justification that the act requited the removal of fraudulent debtors, or ponces who refuse/ to file schedules of their property, after a vesting order had been obtained in the Insolvent Court. That the plainti ff had neglected and refused to 810 his schedule after the necessary order had been obtained in the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and that he was therefore properly removed to the division of the prison complained of. To that plea the plain tiff demurred upon a variety of grounds, sad was now heard at great length, en person, in support f the demurrer. He submitted that the original commitment was illegal. andthat Sir George Grey had no power to commit at all. That the sat under which the defendants justified was not retrospec tive, and therefore did not apply to him as no vesting order had been obtained since it paned. The order had been pre viously obtained. The Secretary of State had no power at the time of the removal from one class to the other to order the keeper so to lIMOVII the plaintiff, and it was submitted upon these and other technical grounds that the justification eluded was no answer to the action. Mr. Welsh', who (with the Attorneyasneral and Mr.M. D. Hill, Q.C.) appeared in support of the plea, was directed by the oourt to confine his argument to some very technical points which would be unintelligible to the general reader. Atter a discussion on the subject, and hearing the plaintiff in ILlCourt intimated their opinion that upon the merits of the case the justification was maintainable and well founded. But, as some of the other points urged were of a technical nature, time should be taken to consider them. On Wed needs morning judgment would be prcnounced. Judgment deferred accordingly. WARMS,.
