Attar Tam Sittinp at Nig Prior at Wastminatar.—(Br(aro Lord Chid Audios Cockburn and a Spacial Jury.) PARDONS V. 81311017. The further bearing of this case was this morning. Mr. Coleridge replied on the whole ova The Lord Chief Justice summed up. He said it was vary importaat in order to do jostles between the parties, that in considering this case they should have at the oaten a clear apprehension of what it was the defendant had charged she plaintiff with, in order that they might be able tone on the one hand what the plaintiff bad • right to com -5a of ; and secondly, how far, supposing it not to be ified, the defendant had made out the justification which undertook to make out of the truth of the charges he had made against the plaintiff. The accusation made by the defendant against the plaintiff was of • twofold charac ter—viz., that being the chairman of the been of directors he was not justified, after purchasing the bind, in retaining his office; and nooodly, that he was not justified in sending in an ex aggerated claim with • view to making an undue profit out of the company. The first charge divided itself into two branches—first with reference to the acre and • quarter which the company had actually taken, and the snood branch had reference to • further quantity of this land being required by the company being known to the plaintiff, The act constituting the company, and authorising the construction of the railway, passed in 1861, but instead of the company, the line was to be made at the instance of two other existing lines, who exempted to be benefited by it as well as benefiting the public generally. la reality there was no body of shareholders, and the expense of the works and the land tobe purchased would absorb the whole of the capital, and • contractor was found who was to be paid for the works and the land by the wholedtheshares beiog headed over to him. In the coursed 1862 the contractor abandoned his contract, the laud having in the mean time been taken under the act, and the work, being in COWS& of active progress. The slate had been for some time in the market, some portions had been sold, and the residue, subject to a right of pre-emption resting with Mean. Barberry and Vigor; was conveyed to Mr. Blake, one of the directors. After some negotiation the plaintiff, who was at the time chairman of the board, took one-fifth of the land, Mr. Ca rew another, Mr. Blake retaining the three-fifths. That was in Await ; and in October or November the contract was settled with Rummies, and whatever view they might take of how far it was consistent with prudence and the duties of a director who had purchased land bkaly to be required by the company to centimes • director, was • circumstance having a ma terial bearing on the question, when they found that at the time of the purchase of the estate the company had nothing to do with the acquiring of the land, and that Mr. Romaine was the onl person who could be prejudiced by it. Either from • • or being frightened at the amount of the claims sent in—antoept which no doubt mod prominently figured the claim for 20,000/. -he had to apply to the board, and he was eubsequently relieved from his land contract on his forfeiting 15,0001., and from that time the company bad to become the pereltasem. Than arose • very serious question ; for although it might be mid that as between landowner, and contractors there was nothing incompatible in the fact of • director having to enforce • claim for land required by the railway, and ea t lee se exaggeratd claim, yet the position was very dif ferent when the obligation to purchase devolved upon the directors, their object being to get the land at the minimum prim, whilst the lanoline" would be anxious to obtain the maximum value. He did not find that the defendant had made a complaint on what his counsel had strongly insisted —Or-, that at the time when the contractor was relieved from his land contract, the plaintiff did not at ones place himself in hie true position before the directors and the shareholders. He certainly, at the meeting of the 23rd July, charged the plaintiff and Mr. Blake with having acquired land which the company had taken and were under the asosesity of purchasing and the question was, how far he was borne out by the facts. He heard with some surprise Mr. Coleridge state that it was a reader of commoo occurrence, but he hoped it was not an. He could understand it was . matter of common occurrence that where a Bee was about to traverse a particular district of country it was desirable to invite the owners of property and their friends to seats on the board of direction, but that was done openly and avowedly and with the perfect knowledge of all. The gravamen of the charge was that the plaintiff and Mr. Blake concealed the fact that they were purchasers of the land. There could be not • shadow of • doubt as to the impropriety of the position of such • man, became the shareholders had a right to the best advice and assistance • director could give to the joint interest' of the company, which could not be the case where they had adverse tote rote talthe shareholders generally ; but • fortiori, how much stronger was the object where the fact of the adverse inte rest was kept secret. No man was called upon to accept an office that would prevent him from making an advantageous purchase of land, bat if the two were incompatible it was his duty to give up his office, leaving it to the shareholders to decide whether or not they had confidence in him, and wished him to remain. There was • difference of opinion or statement here, whe ther the fact of the purchase was communicated to the dindors, and he was inclined to believe if it was, the other directors would have considered it their duty to submit the matter to the shareholders. The plaintiff said he did communicate it in terms that could not have been mine. defined, but the other directors said the impression the communications made on their minds was, not that he was ' the purchaser, but that he had ineuence over the owner. It was true the owner of land got no more than :her arbi trator awarded, but the interests of landowner and director clashed—there was a struggle for price, each having opposite interest( and taking different views. Up to the time of the dispute the land had not been taken, and the main point was with regard to the two acres. The claims were clearly sent is without the knowledge of the plaintiff, and it was equally clear that it was not till June of the following year, 1863, that the fact of the purchase was made known to the shareholders. The defendant had • perfect right to insist on an inquiry into the matter, and the committee, which was fairly constituted, had also • right to call for • change of directors. The Lord Chief Justice then recapitulated the points involved, and con trasted the evidence given in reference to them, remark ing that the question was whether at the meeting on the 23rd of June the defendant said anything which the facts did not warnot, and they w ere to judge by the our:owning circumstances whether the defendant was prompted with an holiest desire to promote the interests of the shareholders or to do an injury to the plaintiff. The jury retired, and after an absence of an hour returned into court with • verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 231. They handed in • paper, bat the learned judge declined to read it, as it was no part of their duty to make remarks on the coedited of either party. Mr. Garth applied for a stay of execution, to enable him to move, on the ground of privilege. The Lord Chief Justice said he was confirmed in his opinion by the other learned judges that there was no privilege where reporters were admitted. He however gave the learned counsel leave to move, but intimated he was likely to have an adverse decision. Verdict for the plaintiff —demagog, 2.1 f. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Acv GALL—From Friday morning, when the wind suddenly veered round to the %%S.W., with heavy fall of rain, to Saturday night, a gale of some violence raged on several parts of the coast, occasioning much damage to tha shipping. For several days pac t the falling of the barometer indicated the of bad weather, and warning storm signals were directed to be kept hoisted at the various outports. The telegrams received on Saturday at ' the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade 'poke of the gale havie q raged with great severity i n th e Emlish and Si. George s Channel, and, as before stated, the shipping had su ff ered considerably. In th e v i o l. Pity - of Hastings mid St. Leortudeomthe-Ses the wind blew a fearful gale from the S. W. all the morning. and a One brig, named the Brachia Cuffs, of Whitby, was drives ashore, a derelict, in Seaford Bay, and soon became a wreck. The north-east ooast appears to have bad bad wea ther. Near the mouth of the Tone a large ship, called the Victoria, broke from her moorings, and was drives on the sand near the Low Lights, where she remained when this inteUigesce was despatched. Early on the previous marl:t in, during a heavy snow-storm, the Norwegian barque, Uwe Victoria. struck on a rock or suoken wreck, near Hartlepool Light;but came off aid almost immediately'went down head brat, the crew having barely bed time to escape. —On Saturday a despatch was received io Liverpool from Caroarvoo, announcing the total lose of the Fort George, a splendid iron built Feat Indianian.

There has been an increase is the 70•1111110 of the past half- ear, as compared with that of the correepouding period of 1862, of 33,2021.125. 3d., the whole of which WY seemed in the goods trate earnings ; the psereager receipts having bees marl the mine se those for the December half -year of 1862, when they were largely increased by the passenger traffic to the briernatiocal Exhibitioa. AS nearly as the directors can estimate, the ordinary traffic of the Lae has bees aug mented to an extent of about LOW/. a week, or at the rate of 50,0001. per maim ; sad this couclusias is justified by the experience of the carioca half-year. The genial revenue account shows that there is a of 106,5151. Us. 10d. available for dividend for the half. year ending the 31st December last, which iscludes the sum of 3,235/. lls. 4d., the surplus after the payment of the dividend for the half-year ending the 30th Jane last. This will admit of a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 21. 10a. per cent. per annum being paid oa the ordinary stocks of the company. This will require 104,4931. 15a. ; leaving 2,0211.155. 10d. to be carried forward to the next account. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. On Friday night, about a quarter past seven, the express train which left Loodoa at 4.25 p.m. sad Ipswich at 6.42 p.m., when between Finniagham and Meths 'tuitions, met with an alarmiag accident red expert. eased a very narrow escape. The train was going at its usual rate when the tire of one of the wheels of the break yaw which was neat to the tender broke, and the van was thrown off the line, as well as the carriage next to it. the last carriage (there being bat two on the train) retaining its place on the metal& L tbs position the train ran for 900 yards, the corneae and van bou•diag over the steepen and rutting up the line. The peasengers, about 30 i• number, were, of course, in • state of great alarm, and their screams are described as frightful, and as having been heard a coast. disable distance from Shebat. Fortunately nobody was hurt. The guard, named Brown, stuck to his poet in his vas, aid it is probable that the train would have best more quickly stopped had his 'week power been available. The engine -driver turned off the steam, and the tender-break was pat on, but it was not before the train, half oa the line sad ball off, had run upwards of half • mile that it was brought to • staadstill • short distance from Nellie station. The ordinary train leaving Ipswich at 6.50 p.m., came up • few talent.« afterwards, sod the passengers being trans ferred, were taken on, the train being shunted ou to the up line, the down being blocked by the Ushered express. A staff of men were despatched from Ipswich, and before Saturday morning the line was quite cleared. The break ing of the tire can only be cookectarally attributed to the sudden chsage is the temperature. The wheels of the whole train were examined both at London and Ipswich, sad found perfectly wand, and except upon this hypothesis the accident is wholly usexpliaddo LONDON AND BLACKWALL R•ll.wrir.—The re port of the directors for the half-year ending Dumber 31, 1863, shows the followiog results :—The total revenue, with the balance of 669/. 8.. 2d. from the previous account, amounts to 66,8311. 9a.

This was an action to recover damages in consequence of a cheque of the plaintiff having been dishonoured, and also to recover a balance due to him. Mr. Edward Jamas, Q.C., Mr. T. Jones, and Mr. C.

The bank had discounted for the plaintiff some bills accepted by Mr. de Maitre, but that gentleman having failed, the bank made some communication to the plaintiff, which resulted in his writings cheque payable to himself for 3,700 f., nearly the whole balance standing to his credit. including the sum represented b De Mottos' bills. This cheque the defen dants ref to pay, alleging that they were entitled to write off the sum placed to the plaintiff's credit in respect of De Matta bills. This defence was not now insisted upon ; but what was relied on was, that the bank bad been induced to discount some at all events of the bills by fraud. In support of this defence it was shown that some of the bills were drawn by s Kr. Michael, in the name of Wilson, hie father-in-law, who was living in very poor style in Jersey, and who received a commission for the use of his name. It was contended that the bank, before being asked to discount the bills, should have been iaformed that Michael had not drawn them in his own name ; and the not communicating this information was the principal circumstance relied upon in support of the plea of f circumstance reueu upon in support of the plea of week's rates ; other aorta were in favour of the brayer.

VIOL I . I' • k ', BilON7 ON ELscrioN. The nomination of candidates to 611 the vacancy to the reprawtation of Brighton, mused by the resignation of Mr. W. CainWm, took plan in Saturday outside of the TownolialL As ear readies are amen five candidates had been canyaniag the electon—three liberals, one oon esevative, and one "protestant' Al it is anticipated that the disunion of the liberals will give the conservative an easy victory, repeated efforts were made to effect a compromise. A large body of the liberal electors stand neutral in the contest, and it was from these the last proposition came. previous proposal by the Hon. H. Brand, M.P., that the difference should be decided by ballot, having bees set aside by the agent of Mr. Dumas demanding that ell the electors, including the emanation, should be comprised in it then neutral liberals proposed that a reference to Mr. Brand, Mr. Cobden, and another member of parliament should be made. A Brighton paper of Saturday records that Mr. Goldsmiirs agent did actually lodge • "case" under this reference, but nothing came of it, for • perfect agreement could not be arrived at between the admers of Mr. Faw cett and Mr. Goldsonid, who were alone comprised in the negotiations. It was oily on Friday evening that this re mit was known ; on Saturday it was evident by the pro posing of all five candidates at the nomination. It wee expected that the proceedings on this occasion would be most disorderly and mischievous, and prepara tions were made accordingly. The framework of the host. lags was enclosed, a roof of stout planking was put over. head, and the reporters, who could not dodge whatever was thrown, were put in a box of such depth, that when they wanted to see what was going on in the crowd, they had to stand up and look over the boards in trout. The anticipations were partly realised, for nothing could well be more diorderly than the conduct of the greater part of the crowd, numbering from 5,000 to 6,000 persons, which assembled about the hustings. Immediately io front of the erection was a cougregatiou of "choice spirits," who from first ti last were never quiet. Mr. Goldamid was the Ent to arrive on the platform, and was followed by Mr. Damao, Mr. Moor, Mr. Fawcett, and Mr. Harper. The Mayor (as returning officer) having made the usual request for a fair hearing. Alderman Witsox stepped formed to propose Mr. Henry Moor, of Brighton. as a conservative °iodides". Resolutely 'tending up against the heavy s h ower o f di r t , grave , =, battered hats, boiled and unbuiled potato'', Sic., continued down to the show of hands, and therefore need not be further alluded to also paying little heed to the cries and yells, which were as unremitting as toe throwing, Alderman Wilson, titer gallantly acknowledging the practice of the ladies in the windows of the houses, on two sides of the equate, pomaded to say that Mr. Moor was the most At and proper person to reprennt the borough. Captain VALIETINI Conte socceded the nomination. Mr. W. Manarmano proposed, and Mr. Councillor Juno seconded, the nominati on o Mr. Franc. 4 s Kunz Dumas, of London. The latter gentleman said he w. is sure Mr. Dumas would serve the best intonate of Brighton as well of the country generally. Lieutenant-Colonel Fau ccrr was receive with mingled cheers and hisses. He proposed Mr. Henry Fawcett (Pro fane of Political Boman at Cambridge) am the mart fit and proper person to represent the borough. Mr. liEsky Wacrrr secoeded the Domination. Alderman J. C. Buasows proposed Mr. Julian Goidandd, nephew of bir Frederick Goldamid, who owns large estates at Brighton. The speaker said Mr. Goldemid bold a/1 those liberal principles which were admired so nisch in B a. He was a young man of peat promise, who load had a liieaal education, who had made the most of his many opparla cities, and who bad bees brought up from cluldbeod amongst the electors of Brighton. He (Aldbensiso Barrows) felt it would be moat in's:manna for them to elect a steer.' liberal candidate when they bad such • mee as Mr. Gold amid, one of themselves, ready to serve them. Alderman Cog seconded the aomination. Colonel Hour nominated Mr. Edward Harper, editor of the Coastitution newspaper. He testified to Mr. Harper's protestant principles. Captain HCLL seconded the Domination. The Matos then called upon Mx. Henry Mose to Mall= the assemblage. Mr. Moos was met with deafening yells and cries, and a severe pelting of all kinds of missiles within reach. Some stows were now thrown, and one large bottlderatone wee with startling force against the planks is front at the reporters' seat. After waiting some time, Mr. Moor said be saw it was impossible for him to address them, sod he would set an example to the other casdidatee of cutting the business as short as possible. He was very gild he bad not got to domed spots those now before him who had got no votes. His prospects would be determined at the poll and not by that assemblage. He only called LIMO his trim ' s& to vote early, and wished all the geotleosen in front " good morning "—accompanying his retirement by a wave of his hat. Mr. DUMAI next came forward, and had a comparatively good reception. He, however. was well pelted, and bad to stop several times in the wane of his speech. Once or twice he shook his fist is &jocular way at his tormentors, and at other times be hewed them by pantomime to cease throw ing, but all in vats, and he was continually bobbiog about and shielding his face with hie bat. (While he was speaking the Mayor got .track in the face, said it was said yesterday in Brighton that his worship had bees seen with a black eye.) The bon. candidate made what was under the cir cumstance* a lengthy speech. He congratulated them on the prospect of an early termination of the contest, which if it west on much longer would be detrimental to the har mony and peace which should reign in the borough. In coming forward he " had disturbed an arrangement of a very nice character." He was very softy he had done so. and would not have done so if the slightest hint had been given him, at the same time he must my he had been of un doubted benefit in disturbing that arrangement, for, if it had been carried out, the borough would have sunk into the position of the most rotten one in the country. He did not claim much for his first appearance in the field, but be did say the men who were put up against him were not more able than he was to serve the electors honestly and faithfully. He should deplore the return of a tory, but the respoaei. bility of splittiog the liberal interest did sot rest with him. Mr. Fawcett had given a pledge of no oualifed character—it was • most undoubted pledge—not to create Liberal die. nano. He hoped, and he thought, Mr. Fawcett would not break that pledge. After giving a slight statement of his opinions on the chief political questions, Mr. Dumas said if he was not elected on Monday he should again appear at the general election to contest his seat with those who had made an undue interference in matters which did sot concern them. He .hoped that his present enimiss would be then his friends. (Loud cheers and counter cheers.) Mr. FAWCETT next came forward, and was received with loud cheers sod clapping of hoods all over the crowd. He said that at the primmest moment he was confident of suc cess. Thecontest now lay between himself ad Mr. Moor, and be was glad of it, for he believed Mr. Moor to be a straight- forward English gentleman. Whether or not he was de. feated now, be was convinced he bad made so many and so firm friends in the borough who would not forsake him, that be would not be disheartened, and they might depend on seeing him standing on these hustings at the next election. (Great cheering.) He had heard it was thought be had money against him, and that be would not stand a defeat ; but he did not care bow much mosey he bad against him ; their borough was not going to be handed over to mere wealth. (Loud cheers. ) Whether he was defeated or not be expected to poll • majority of the liberal electors. He could not think the electors of Brighton would be at all influenced by this cry of wealth. What that great conatituency wanted wss, a man who would repellent them faithfully —a man who had studied their interest, and who had made himself master of those goestioes which concerned them. He thought be would fulfil those requirements in a much better degree than his opponents, sod if they should elect him on this cession lie would endeavour to show his gratitude by faith. fully sod honestly representing them in parliament. 2r. JULIA,: GOLDSICID, on coming forward, was met by deafening shout, and clamour, combined with some cheering. He suit it gave him great pleasure to appear there that day because be was conscious of having carried on the contest in an bonouraale spirit. Is spmking of the eatensioa of the suffrage, Mr. Goldsatid .aid he had received a very large amount of support from the working claws. Mr. Few. tiet 'Aid be intended to be returned by the votes of the working CIASSOS. lie (Mr. Goldsmid) could say that four working men were giiog to poll fur him to every one for Mr. Fawcett. Mr. Gol&uoid concluded with an appeal for early rdling. Mr. HARPER expressed no political sentiments whatever; Indeed, be said be was neither conservative nor liberal, as such ; but " he stood there as the protestant champion, to lift up his voice and testimony against endowments by the British state to MOONS catholic institutions," and to •• make a stand for the great and glorious principles of the protestant religion against Itornish aggressioa, Poseyite traitors, and for the liberties and privileges which were blond-won by our great forefathers." The great uproar which had sedated throughout the last address was stalled to comparative silence when the Mayor pro ceded to put the names of the candidates to a show of hands. Mr. Moor got. as near as could be seen, about thirty hands; Mr. Dumas got about a hundred . M r . Festoon'. name wan next put, and, with au earnest cheer, it seemed as if every hand in the crowd was held up. Aft er the trainees. !heeling which succeeded this display Mr. Goldsanid's MUDS wee put, and the number exhibited trenched closely upon that of Mr. Dumas. A burst of detitive cheers followed the exhibition of Nome half dozen hand, for Mr. Harper, The M Aloe declared Mr. Henry Fawcett duly elected by the show of hands. (Greet obsorinfti A poll was immediately demanded by the other four can. didates, severally, which is appointed to epee this (Monday) morning at eight o'clock. It will close as four o'clock, but gran otticud declaratiou will not take pleas till Tuesday. SHIPPING DIVILLIGENCE. GaAsiomitu—Arrived Feb. it.
