Several first meetings were held in new bankruptcies. There was a sitting for proof of debts and for choice of assignees under the failure of Alexander Davis, who is described as of 167, Regent-street, dressing-cue maker, and of 122 and 167, Regent-street, in partnership with Mr. A. Bassano, who is now also a bank rupt, as photographic artists. The failure would appear to be the result of partnership difficulties, and the debts are returned at about 3,0001., with assets about 8001 . The bankrupts having petitioned „, separately, it is probable that an application will be made BI to consolidate the bankruptcies, and thus avoid the incon venience of two separate sets of proceedings. a Several applications for release are appointed by the commissioners for to-morrow.

The prisoners grasped Maginnis by the g throat, and nearly strangled him, while the others " booted him," and struck him with their fists. His trouser's pocket was torn out.

The same constable afterwards took Higgins into custody close to the place where the robbery was committed. Neither of the pri soners made any explanation or defence and they were clearly identified. Mr. Partridge said he hul remanded the prisoners to give the police an opportunity of apprehending the other men concerned in a very savage outrage and robbery. He asked if the prisoner's confederates had been traced. Ambridge—No, sir, I have not been able to trace them. Mr. Partridge—l am sorry they are not in custod .

The contmissioners sat again yesterday. Mr. W. a j om e, Mr. en's private secretary, said — l sent i ik "7 morn ing & telegram to Satterthwalte (Jones), Fylde meet, Preston, to tLhe following effect :—" Telegraph to mc imme diately when you will be here. The commiesioners wi n cot be trifled with, and you have nothing to fear.' i m re ply I have received the following telegram :—" Mr. s o rrecchwaits is not at home. Will not be home till pia c i night." This telegram was sent by Wm. Wilcock, cf Preston. I have no doubt that if you release Edwards from attendance he will return to Preston and communi cate with Jones, and that the latter will be here on Monday morning, if you wait till then. Not one farthing case into Yarmouth, so far as Mr. Brogden is concerned, besides the 6,000/. already spoken of. Mr. G. C. Johnston, chief clerk and accountant to the com mercial establishment with which Mr. Brogden is oon morred, deposed that he went to Yarmouth before the election at Mr. Brogden's request. The sum of 3,7001. 'scal ed through his hands. He " quitted" all his money in two d ai s. He paid 2,0001. to Jones, 1,0001. to Edwards, and 610/. to Mr. Salmon. Mr. Azarish Waters, a draper in Yarmouth, stated that be undertook to look after some of the shaky voters, and in • the course of his evidence he made the following state meets :—I saw Spencer at his house ; he said, ' There's five of us , and we fi ve want 1001." The next I saw was R o der. He said, " I am quite independent of both par ties, but before I promise either party I shall see Mr. Nightingale • he has been a good friend to me." Frosdick m id, " I shan't promise anyone. I shall wait and see which gives the most." (Laughter.) I believe Spencer received money from the tones. I believe they all three took money from one aide or the other. Wales, cowkeeper, was the next man I saw. Mrs. Wales came up to me and said , " Mr. Waters, if you can El 5/ . we will come and spend half of it with you." tighter.) Laoon and Goudson called upon me, but I ed to support them. Through Mr. Goodson's in fluence I was paid 4s. 6.1. for goods which I had had damaged on the railway. (Laughter.) I took no part in the election of 1859. Cattermole, of the Army and Navy Tavern, Yarmouth, said a room at his house was hired by the liberals on the Monday week before the election ; 40 or 50 voters came to the house, some having tickets for Mr. J o nes. He saw one or two receive money. They appeared is make no secret of what they were about. One old gentleman was very particular in counting his money. Laughter.) The witnesses Edwards, Salmon, and Johnston applied for and received certificates of indemnity, after which the inquiry was adjourned. REIGATE. On the resumption of the inquiry yesterday Henry Frances, a stonemason, was called. He stated that Pa voted at the last election for Mr. Richardson. He en. I clamored to put a stop to the corruption that was going andspe He rec t eived 50/. from James Nichol and spent it, n more than 50/. out of his own pocket. He spent it anyhow. (Laughter.) He gave here and another 1/. there. He went to some persons and offered them 10s., after they had promised to vote for Mr. Gower. He did that to try their principles. (leinghter.) Before be spent any money at all he heard of Si. promises being made on the part of Mr. Gower. He offered a man named Stone Si. for his services and his vote, but the offer was refused. He paid thirty or forty rooks. (Laughter.) They had rabbits and rooks. He treated people : there was no question about that. Janus Appa deposed that on the 28th of January Mar- tingale, Curderoy, and Nichols came to him when he was ploughing, and asked him to vote for Mr. Gower. Cor aeroy inquired how the plough went, and if it wanted 1 grossing. (Laughter.) He was offered 3/. to vote for Mr. bower, but refused to promise. Mr. Gower said to Corduroy, "You had bettor get on one of the horses and fide up and down the field with him till he does promise." (laughter.) He told Cowderoy that if be paid him the money first be might promise his vote. (Laughter.) If he had got the money he should not have voted for them. (Laughter.) He voted entirely on principle for Kr. Williamson, never receiving nor expecting to receive 'farthing from him. John Allen, a labourer, voted for Mr. Gower, and two or three months after the election received 50s. for his lose of time. Some further evidence having been taken, the commis sioners adjourned. TOTNEN. The inquiry was resumed yesterday. Robert Hams, who described himself as a land agent and recognised conservative registration agent for this borough, said he went to London prior to the last election and saw Mr. Rennie at the Carlton Club. lie mentioned several names, among them Mr. Potter and Mr. Akroyd. tar. Rennie asked what he thought would be the expense I if he were to stand, and witness told him 4,0001. lie said his father would only let him have 2,0001. The 4,0001. was to be spent properly and improperly. The hotel bills In Totnes were sometimes fearful. Mr. Dent refused to be come a esailidate ' except on a requisition signed by men of integrity on both sides, which it was useless to try to obtain. Without bribery the conservatives would have had 'majority of 20 votes at the last election. He had the management of some property belonging to Mr. Dent In Di 63, and got some voters on for it. A few days after Colonel Dawkins was in the field Commander Pim came down. In the meantime witness had seen at least one half of the electors, who came to him like swarms of bees for money. The duke's present factotum, Mr. Bine, was paid 601. for voting for Dent, and was then turned out by the duke. He MO he was going to vote for Mr. Seymour , _ and would only vote for Colonel Dawkins if he were paid. Witness was very much disgusted with him. (Laughter.) Francis Coombs wanted 5001. for voting for Dent. Samnel Hill, a rag merchant, said he had been induced by a promise from the liberals to return 2001. which he had , received from Mr. Lorrimer to vote for Dent. A stranger tame down, Mr. Nunn, with a heavily laden bag. A " man in the moon " was the natural consequence of a ; Tatnes election. People in Totnes had a curious way of expressing themselves, they did not ask for money, but said they were in difficulties and wanted relief. The Duke of Somerset had about 90 votes in the borough, 40 of which were fictitious. He believed 5,000/. or 6,000/. was spent on the conservative side. Colonel Dawkins contributed a portion of the money, and Commander Pim gave Kellock WO/. to cover the whole of his expenses. The liberals mast have spent much more than they did for they beat them completely out of the field. He was told that Mr. Fender had stated that he spent 5,0001. at his three elec tions. They might have had 20,0001. if they had with drawn the petition, but Colonel Dawkins would not take it. The offer was snide to Colonel Dawkins' solicitor. Mr. Coleridge asked who was to have had the 20,0001., the town or Cutout I Dawkins. _ _ Witness—l do not know. I suppose I should have come in ter a good share of it. At the close of this witness's examination the inquiry was adjourned. LANCASTER. Yesterday Mr. T.
