During the last few days there has been rather more animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce, and, in several instances, higher rates have been realised. Tea has been in mode rate favour at a slight advance. The finer descrip tions of British Plantation sugars have also shown an upward tendency, but in the refined market there has been less buoyancy, dried goods having slightly declined. The better qualities of Planta tion Ceylon Coffee have been dealt in to a fair extent at about former values, but easier rates have been current for the low and inferior descrip tions. Cocoa has been in good demand at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. In Fruit the deal ings, for the time of year, have been exceedingly active at full values. Rice contindes dull, with little change to record in prices. For saltpetre the inquiries in the general market have not been extensive ; at public sale Bengal qualities sold at rather lower rates. The public sales of foreign and colonial wool have proceeded with much steadiness during the past week, and the rates established at the commencement of the series have in all instances been fully supported. The tallow market continues rather quiet ; little variation, however, can be noticed in quotations. P.Y.C. on the spot is at 545. 9d. to 555.; and last three months, 555. 9d. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and 8,000 bales were sold at about pre vious values. In the Railway Share Market a better tone was apparent, and prices exhibited an improvement. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The £43,000 by the Etna has been taken for the Continent. The demand for money is rather less active, but no alteration has taken place in the terms of discount. It appears that the engagements due yesterday, the 4th of the month, were met without the slightest difficulty. Trade continues in a very healthy state, and as ample facilities are now obtainable, failures are necessarily of rare occurrence. The meeting of the Madras Railway Company Was held to-day, when a report, showing a very satisfactory progress in the works, was read and adopted. The resolution was also agreed to for converting the 3d extension shares into stock. The report was adopted. At the half-yearly meeting of the Great Lux embourg Company, to-day, a dividend of is. per share was declared. The accounts showed the net receipts to have exceeded those of the year pre ceding by £7,560. The net earnings of the Canal were £857 18s. 4d. Only a portion of the obliga tions sanctioned last meeting had been issued, and the amount to be derived from the issue of the re mainder would be sufficient for the completion of the extension lines to the Luxembourg and French frontiers, so that no further capital would be re quired. The report was adopted unanimously. An advance of s per cent. has taken place in the market for English Stocks, and other Securities, notwithstanding the quietude of business, also tend "upwards. The respective markets are exceed ingly inactive, but the position of monetary affairs, the advices from the Continent, and the improve ment in the Paris Bourse are all in favour of prices. Consols, which closed yesterday at 94-T, 95, are now 95 to 951 for money and account. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 95,1 ; Long An nuities at 18; and Exchequer Bills at 275. prem. ; Bank Stock remains at 222; ; India ditto at 2211 ; and the Debentures, 1858, are 941. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is mode rutely active, and prices continue firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 81 to 83 ; ditto New Loan, 71 to 73 ; Mexican have advanced to 19, Buenos Ayres De ferred to 181, Russian 5 per Cents. to 113, and Venezuelan New 21 per Cents. to 29 1. Dutch 4 poi. Cents. are steady, at 1001 ; and Austrian (1859) 5 per Cents. at 77. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been of an extremely limited character, and the variations have not been important. North- Western and North British declined 55., and Great Westerns 10s. Lancashire and Yorkshire improved 68 ., and North-Eastern (Berwick) 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the dealings have shown little variation. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares were nominally 102 101, and the New 101 to 10. Great Luxembourg brought 61 to 68. East Indian improved to 981 to 99 ; and Great Indian Peninsula declined to 96. Grand Trunk of Canada were at 331 to 33k, and Great Western of Canada New Shares at 91 to 9. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are exceedingly dull, at about previous quotations.

Most readers of Bentley's .Miscellany will reca ll the animated sketches of an oh7cer's life with the array in India, which appeared in its t pages under the above title. They are now colLqc.ed and ex tended, and in a more complete form afe offered to the public. The details of the mutiny are painfully familiar to us all ; the journals kept du ring . the weary days of expectation in besieged towns or lonely forts ; the memoirs of those who have added to the long list of martyrs, or who have followed their duty to the death ; the narratives of many who formed part of the avenging army, have brought 'Vividly before the English reader the scenes and su fferings of those troubled days. The volume be fore us, however, takes up another part of the story 'When the first volume of the history was closed, and the intensity of the national indignation was giving place to exhortatio ns t o s h ow merc y to the ndoos, which somewhat astonished the Anglo- Indians. The record of this year's experiences (which include the siege of Lucknow) forms a use ful supplement to the earlier narratives which were Riven to the public. Though Delhi had fallen before the author and his companions reached their destination, much remained to be done ; which was faithfully performed, in spite of the terrible heat and the sickness and mortality it occasioned. The details of the climate, which the author gives half-jestingly, are anything but in viting, especially when the recent temperature has enabled us to form some idea of the miseries re tulting from a march with the thermometer at 121 deg. in the tents. On one occasion, at Simeree, the victory was dearly purchased, for we are told that 160 men were placed hors de combat from the heat, the 38th Regiment alone burying twenty men in twenty-four hours. One attractive feature in this volume is that it is not entirely confined to the description of painful scenes and mournful ex periences, as so many other works of the kind have necessarily been, but some more lively and oheerful accounts are introduced in its animated pages. We commend it to the attention of those who are interested in the details of Anglo-Indian military life, and of all who are desirous of tracing the history of the mutiny to its conclusion.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. DARTMOUTH. The late member for this borough having been unseated for bribery, a vacancy in the representa tion has been caused. Two candidates solicit the honour of election—viz., Mr. Dunn, the defeated candidate at the last election for Totnes, in the Conservative interest ; and Mr. Stuart Donaldson, who has filled several responsible offices in the Government of New South Wales, in the Liberal interest. No very great excitement prevails. What the result will be it would puzzle the most far seeing to predict. When they were altogether they were in the Tcont mittee-room. He polled for Grenfell and Crp. Some other witnesses were then examined, but their evidence was precisely to the same effect, and the committee adjourned. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—May I ask you to insert the enclosed answer to my letter addressed to the Chairman of the United Trades ? Yours obediently, 33, Grosvenor-street, Aug. 3. KINNAIRD. "National Association of United Trades, 269, Strand, Aug. 3. "My Lord,---In reply to tho letter which I had the honour of receiving from your lordship last night, I beg in the first place to return the thanks of the executive committee of this association for enabling us to remove any erroneous impression which may exist with reference to our position in the matter referred to. " This association has no connexion whatever with the United Building Trades,' has not partici pated in what is called the Nine Hours' Move ment,' and has no official communication from the managing body of the building trades upon the subject. " The only part this committee has taken in the movement was to publish a letter in the London weekly newspapers on the 4th of February last, soliciting the building trade to assist us in passing through the Legislature the bill for establishing Councils of Conciliation and Arbitration, introduced by Mr. Mackinnon, and pointing out the supe riority of that method of settling disputes to the irrational, wasteful, and injurious system of strikes. " Whenever circumstances have brought any of my colleagues into the company of members of the building trades, they have uniformly expressed the opinion that they would fail in a movement the object of which was opposed to the generally established custom of other trades, and to the prin ciple legally recognised in the Ten Hours' Factory Act, and they have stated, as your Lordship sug gests, that it would be far better for them to as for the Saturday half-holyday, now so generally recognised among all classes of employers, as bene. ficial alike to masters and men. " That is the full extent of our interference in the unhappy contest which is likely to lead to so much suffering, and to create sa much angry feeling on both sides. Perhaps I may be permitted to add that this association was founded in 1845 for the express purpose of putting an end to strikes by substituting impartial and amicable mediation and arbitration, and the experience of the last 13 years has amply shown the superiority and advan tages of that course of procedure. " We have only failed in some instances because no legislative powers exist to make agreements binding, and seeing this our efforts h ave b een directed for the last five years to amend what we consider a defect in the law of this country. " In 1854 we published a pamphlet on the causes of strikes, and setting forth the state of the law with respect to arbitration and magisterial juris diction in the case of trade disputes. "In 1856, public opinion - having somewhat ripened upon the subject, we assisted Mr. Mackin non in obtaining a select committee of the House of Commons, which collected a large amount of valu al9le and practical evidence, and reported in favour of the amendment of the existing law. "In 1858, and again in the present year, care fully prepared bills have been introduced into the House of Commons on the subject through the in strumentality of Mr. Mackinnon ; and 1 beg to assure your lordship that we are determined to per severe in our efforts to introduce into this country tribunals for dealinc , with trade disputes simil ar t o the Conseils des Prudhommes' e ' spoken of so highly by Lord Brougham on Tuesday evening in the House of Lords, but with such alterations as will adapt them to the habits and the customs of this country. _ _ _ " It will confer a favour upon myself and col leagues if your lordship will give the same publicity to this reply as to the letter which elicited it. "I have the honour to be, my Lord, your lord ship's most obedient servant, " G. A. FLEMING, President. " The Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird." LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) SECONDARIES COURT. BREACH or PROMISE OF MARRIAGE-DAMAGES, £250.-- DAVIS V. MOSES. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in a breach of promise of marriage —defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Harrison for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Pigott, for the plaintiff, opened the case at some length, and stated that the parties to this suit are of the Jewish persuasion. Plaintiff, a young lady aged 35, is the daughter of a draper carrying on business in the St. John-street-road, and defendant, aged 37, is a jeweller, of Oxford-street. The parties became acquainted four years ago at the house of a mutual acquaintance named Davis. After much visiting and many love episodes, defendant pro posed for the hand of Miss Davis, and was accepted. But between Sept., 1858, and Jan., 1859, obstacles appeared to arise to prevent the desired consummation. Defendant averred in his epistles that his mother was against the match, and that his father was of the same mind as the " roissus." (Laughter.) In fact, his father wished him to marry a maiden of their own choice. Defendant, who had previously declared himself to be very well off, now said that money matters was one cause of the non-fulfilment of his contract. His mother had threatened to go down to Portsmouth and take the money f rom his (defendant's) name, placing it in that of his brother. Under all these circumstances, defendant being scarcely of an age when be could judge for himself in th e ma tt er o f a wife, the learned sergeant called upon the jury to award plaintiff such da mages as would in some degree recompense her for the breach of promise committed by defendant. Mrs. Davis (plaintiff's mother), examined by Mr. Sleigh, proved the above statement, an d s aid that defendant had frequently stated that he had money and . a good business ; he had no objection to her friends knowing of his proposi tion to marry defendant, but he wished it kept secret . from his own. Defendant was well off, and his uncle had died lately and left him a legacy. Cross-examined—Our families had been intimate for years. Defendant was a very frequent visitor at our house. Sometimes two or three times a day. (Laughter.) Ho keeps a jeweller's shop. He sells Dutch clocks. (Laughter.) The intended marriage was broken off because he would not inform his parents of it, and my daughter would not consent to a clandestine match. When the matter was broken off defendant offered £lOO in two bills at six and twelve months. (Laughter.) This was of course refused. Plaintiff was in business before the proposals made by de fendant, but at the request of that person gave it up. Re-examined—Plaintiff had suffered much in health through the breach of defendant's promise. Mr Davis stated that defendant had declared that he did not want any money with " Betsy" having plenty of his own. Witness said ho would give his consent to the mar riage, but could not give his daughter any money. Plaintiff, and sister, with an apprentice, earned 255. per week at shoe-binding., but this had been given up at de fendant's request. Plaintiff was taken seriously ill after the refusal of defendant t o f u lfil hi s engagement, and was visited by a physician. After he had attended her for a day or two he pronounced that she suffered from some " sudden shock." Witness then told him the cause. Ho said he could not administer to a diseased mind. Witness fancied himself that the reason defendant did not perform his promise was because he (witness) could not give Betsy £5OO or £l,OOO. Defen dant sold American and French as well as Dutch clocks. Defendant also dealt in expensive china. Mr. Harrison—Anything else beside the crockery ? (Laughter.) Mr. Sleigh—Oh ! don't call it crockery—it is valuable china. (Roars of laughter.) Witness—Defendant never said he not the means to keep a wife. A witness, called by Mr. Sleigh, said that one day he was hailed by defendant, who said that he did not mind the intended marriage being talked about in plaintiff's family, adding, " I only want it kept secret till the old man's death, and them I shall have £5OO. Come and have a drop of brandy. I ens worth £1,400, and don't use £10." No one was present at this conversation. which defendant N t v o h O o k s e £ h so o o u , s e dated n 2 d l a s t A h p a r d i 1 Mr. Si mmon d s pro d uce d t h e pr , bate of a will under ,coluBsrt9e.Mrs. d plain tiff, stat e d th a t M r.

Mr. Sleigh—l agree with hi m . A youno • is man of thirty seven quite o ld enoug h to t h row off the y b oke. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Sleigh th en a dd resse d the jury, and contended that plaintiff• was entitled to the full amount in the declaration, £609. Not one thi ng h a d b een brought out that could mitigate the damages one iota. Defendant was an intelli gent man of thirty- seven, an d not a boy entrapped into a marriage by ma mma. M r. Moses was no chicken, and it was time he threw o ff th e yo k e. (Laughter.) Under all the circumstances, plaintiff was entitled to far more than the amount claimed. Mr. Harrison thought the case had been exaggerated against defendant. It was understood to be made out that Mr. Moses was a person of great importance, but he (Mr. H.) still stuck by the crockery and Dutch clocks. (Laughter.) Sergeant Pigott had been brought down to nestle in his silk, as though this was s most important case .--•but the parties were really in moderate stations of life. After generally addressing the jury in mitigation, Mr. Harrison concluded a very able speech, and The learned Secondary pointed out that the jury had to assess the damages, and after a short deliberation the jury found for plaintiff. Damages, £260. The court was crowded with members of the Jewish per suasion, of both sexes, who appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. The Ministerial whitebait dinner will take place next 'Wednesday, the 10th inst., at the Trafalgar, Green wich, and it is anticipated that the business of the session will be brought to a close on the following Saturday, the 13th. The intelligence from Australia this morning states that the following gold ships have left Melbourne for England :—The Avon, on the 19th May, with 45,888 ounces ; the Southampton, 26th, 29,554 ounces ; the Prince of the Seas, 27th, 26,321; the Eagle, Bth June, 31,635 ; and the Beechworth, 10th, 19,988 ; making a total of 153,396 ounces, valued at abeut £613,000, of which a small portion may be considered due, THDID EDIT I ON.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH laid upon the table the report of the select committee on church-rates. The committee did not consider themselves in a position to give a satisfactory report to their lordships, and therefore only presented the evidence they had received. The committee were of opinion that a committee should be appointed early next year. ENDOWED SCHOOLS The LORD CHANCELLOR said legislation on this subject was no doubt desirable, but it was too late now to consider the subject this session. THE TREATY OF PEACE. Lord NORMANBY gave notice that on Monday next he should put a question to the noble earl the President of the Council with reference to the terms of peace which were under discussion previous to signing the treaty of Villafranca. The noble lord said it was not his intention on this occasion to provoke discussion, but he trusted when Parliament re-assembled they would be in a position to fully discuss the subject of continental affairs. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were, on the motion of Lord REDESDALE, read a third time and passed:— The Eastbourne Water, North Eastern Railway (Harrogate Branches), Waveney Valley Railway, and South York shire Railway Companies Bill ; South Staffordshire Railway, Epping Railway; Lancashire and Yorkshire and East Lancashire Railway ; Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway ; Tendring Hun dreds Railway, Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Lord CLONCARTY asked whether it was the intention of the Government to propose any change in the system of national education at present in operation in Ireland, with a view to the relief of those who object to avail themselves of it. The noble lord said he had hoard it rumoured that there was to be a commission to inquire, but he looked upon such a proceeding as a tub thrown out to catch a whale. There was Ito lack of information on the subject to enable the Government to come to some deci:eion on the point. Earl GRANVILLE said it was not intended to issue a commission, as such a course was totally unneces sary. As to the exact time whew a measure would be introduced, he could only say that the Secretary for Ireland was fully alive to the importance of the question, and would do all he could to prepare a bill on the subiect, but he could not give the noble lord any dis tinct pledge when such bill would be produced. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Earl of Kintore's Estate Bill awl the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Rill were read a third time and passed. The Newcastle-un:der-Lyme Burgess's Land Bill was considered. SALE OF GAS BILL. Several petitions were presented in favour of this bill. THE KINGSTON-UPON-HULL ELECTION.— ARREST OF COL. F. GREVILLE. The SERGEANT-AT-ARMS announced that., agreeably to the order of the Speaker, he had given instructions that Col. Greville, a member of that house, should be arrested, and he was at present in custody. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said that he was auhorised by his hon. and gallant friend, the member for Longford, to say that he was absent from the house on what he conceived important public duty, and that immediately on receiving a notice at his seat, in Ireland, he came over, and on his way he met the Deputy-Serjeant. He was also authorised to say that his hon. and gallant friend had not intended to neglect his duty, or to commit any disrespect to the housp. The hon. and gallant mem ber regretted extremely the inconvenience and expense which the parties interested in the petition had been put to by his absence. Sir F. BARING said he hoped, from what the house had heard, that it would not be considered necessary to proceed further in this matter. It was not necessary to add to the painful feelings of the hon. and gallant member, and therefore he would move that he should be discharged from custody on the payment of the fees. The motion was agreed to. The committee appointed to try the merits of the King ston-upon-Hull election petition was then sworn. SUPPLY.—CLEANSING THE SERPENTINE. On the report of the Committee of Supply, agreed to yesterday morning, being brought up, Sir J. PAXTON said he thought the vote of £17,000 for the purpose of purifying the Serpentine had been agreed to rather hastily, and he thought it was quite impossible at present to say what the actual expense of the undertaking would be. Besides the steam-engines and filtering appa ratus that were to be erected would disfigure Kensington gardens. Sir J. SHE LLEY offered some observations to the same effect, and drew attention to the state of the bed of the water, in whicth there were holes to the depth of 24 feet, which, from the facilities that existed for obtaining rubbish, might have been easily filled up. After a few words from Mr. WALTER, Sir M. FARQUHAR said the proposal agreed to in this case was merely a half measure, and would prove ineffec tual so long as the mud at the bottom of the water was per mitted to continue in its present condition, or the Ranelagh sewer was allowed to empty itself into the Serpentine. Mr. FITZROY said that he could only repeat the state ment he had made yesterday. When he came into office he found there were two plans to be considered, and one of them involved an expense which it would have been im possible to estimate until the water was cleared off. The pumping machines would be used for 200 days in the year, and the expense would be only £1 a-day. The report was then agreed to, as well as the report of the votes of last night. RESERVE VOLUNTEER FREE SEAMEN BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord C. PAGET said he took that opportunity of enter ing into some explanations relative to the bill. They per ceived from an announcement in the Moniteur that in France there was to be a partial disarmament of the forces both on sea and land ; and therefore it might be considered that the present time was premature to bring forward this bill, but he was of a con trary opinion. By this bill it was not proposed to increase the naval force, but to have the same means of recruiting and reserve for the navy that existed for the army. The principle of a militia for this purpose was established in other countries, and he could not help feeling surprised at no such provision being made in a country like this which owed so much to its navy. It was true they had increased their coast-guard, but it amounted to less than 4,000 men. There was also a coast volunteer force, which, however, many persons, and amongst them the commission which inquired into the subject last year, greatly doubted, would be found an efficient force in a case of emergency. He did not share that opinion ; but that force laboured under one radical defeet namely, that the country had no right to demand its services at a greater distance than 300 miles from the coast. The impressment had failed, for instead of being an advantage it was found to be the contrary, and it was indispensable that they should have some efficient means for manningtheir navy. By the arrangement that existed in France there was always a reserve for the navy, and there was always a body ready for action when required. The Royal Com mission recommended that there should be a force of 30,000 royal naval volunteers who should receive a retaining fee of £6 a-year, from which a deduction was to be made to pro vide for pensions payable at the age of 55 years at the rate of 6d. a day. The bill was based on that recommendation, and it was proposed to enrol 30,000 naval volunteers for five years, during which period each man should receive £5 per annum. They were to be called out for 28 days for training, and they should receive non-continuance pay according to the wages they were earning when they were required. At the expiration of the five years they could, if they desired to, re-enrol themselves. They would receive £25 in the first five . years, and at the end of ten years they would be eligible for pensions. In case of war it was proposed to call these men into active service, and they should be liable to serve in any p ar t o f 'the world for three years, during which period the Govern ment was to have a claim on their services. It was pro posed to render the Royal naval service so attractive to the merchant sailors as to induce them to enter, and to regard a dismissal from it as the greatest punishment. He believed that the Emperor of the French was sincere in his inten tion of disarming a number of his forces; but it should be remembered that in a very short time they could be called into active service. Mr. LINDSAY said if he was satisfied that the sum proposed to be voted would effect the object contemplated he would agree to it cheerfully, but he was of a different opinion. As a member of the committee appointed to inquire into the subject he had put questions to several distinguished officers who were examined, and elicited that, in their . opinion, the increase of pay would not be an inducement sufficient to make the sailors in the merchant service enter the Royal Navy. He believed that the repugnance to enter the Royal Navy would not be diminished so long as excessive drill was maintained, or the articles of war permitted to exist in their present form. If they had a reserve force, they should also have officers for that force, and he suggested they should select these from the merchant service, and confer on them some badge or other distinction of which they would be proud. They s h ou ld no t allow punishment to be inflicted without the sailor being tried by a jury of his compeers. If they reversed the articles of war and adopted the sug gestions.hehad thrown out, h o believed they wou ld s ucceed in making the royal naval service popular. If, however, they did not adopt such alterations he was satisfied they would appeal in vain to the merchant service in vain for the purpose of recruiting the Royal Navy. Sir C. NAPIER gave the Admiralty credit for being now sincere in their desire to adopt necessary steps with reference to the Royal Navy, and they were going to work in earnest. He considered that corporal punishment should still be retained in the service, and he believed that nine out of ten of those acquainted with the subject would say, that without such punishment it would be impossible to maintain discipline. He consi dered, however, that there might be some alterations in troduced which would be of great benefit, and which would render the condition of the men in the Royal Navy more comfortable, and the service more attractive. The ob jection to the clause in the bill by which it was provided that at the expiration of ten years the reserve volunteer corps should receive a pension even in time of peace, be cause it was not equitable to place this force on the same footing as those engaged during war. Mr. F. BARING approved generally of the bill, but de preciated the proposition to fortify the navy by the Coast guard, and considered that if they wanted to strengthen the service they should have sailors. He was atso opposed to offering bounty during time of peace. Sir J. ELPHIN STONE supported the bill, and ex • pressed his opinion that the continuous service had not had a fair trial. That service ought not to contain a single man who was not an able-bodied seaman. Mr. CARDWELL explained some of the details of the bill, which he supported. The house went into committee on the bill, but it being close upon ten minutes to four no progress was made. The Coinage, the Letters of Probate and Administration, and the Police Boroughs Bills were read a third time and passed. The sitting was suspended at four o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE.-(THIS EVENING) BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL,_AUG. 4.

ELECTION COMMITTEES. HUDDERSFIELD. • This committee re-assembled yesterday at eleven o'clock. On the admission of the public, The Chairman announced that the committee had come to the following resolution : " That it has not been proved that the sitting member has been guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence, either by himself or his agents." The decision was hailed with loud and prolonged cheering, the crowd evidently labouring under the impression that Mr. Leatham was triumphant, and the inquiry therefore brought to a close. The Chairman said—As this is the first decision which has been given wah reference to the act of last session, the committee wish me to state, for the information of counsel, that they consider hat the travelling expenses which have been proved to have been paid to voters by the agents of the sit ting member are illegal under the 21st and 22d of Victoria, cap. 87, but do not render the sitting member guilty of bribery under the Corrupt Prac tices Act. Mr. Sergeant Pigott expressed his conviction that the decision of the committee on the point was sound law. Mr. Maule said that his client, Mr. Akroyd, claimed the seat and intended to proceed with the scrutiny, and he would therefore ask that the com mittee should first hear the recriminatory evidence by which his learned friend proposed to show that Mr. Akroyd was disqualified from sitting for Hud dersfield. Mr. Phinn thought it would be waste of time to go into that case until the scrutiny had proceeded so far as to give Mr. Akroyd a majority of votes. The room was cleared, and the committee re mained some time in consultation. On the re-ad mission of the parties, The Chairman announced that the committee thought that the proper course to be taken was, that the petitioners should proceed with the alle gations of the petition. Mr. Slade then proposed to strike the name of George Moson off the poll, on the ground that he had been bribed. Mr. Phinn then applied for an adjournment. It was, however, decided to proceed with the scrutiny. Two cases were investigated, when Mr. Phinn again applied for an adjournment, which re quest was then acceded to by the committee. Adjourned until 11 o'clock this day. LEICESTERSHIRE (NORTH). The committee, after consulting for four hours yesterday, re-assembled this morning at 12 o'clock. At half-past 1 the public were admitted, when The CHAIRMAN said that the committee had ar lived at the following resolution : " That the Right Hon. Lord John Manners and E. B. Hartopp, Esq., were duly elected knights of the shire for tho northern division of the county of Leicester." LIMERICK. This committee assembled to give their decision yesterday morning. Mr. MILNES GASKELL, the Chairman, said that the committee had unanimously arrived at the following decision : " That Major Gavin is duly elected a citizen to serve in the present Parliament for the county of the city of Limerick. " That certain riotous and tumultuous proceedings took place at and after the last election for the said city, but that it was not proved to your committee that such proceedings took place at the instigation or with the sanction of Major Gavin or his agents. " That no application was made to the returning-officer for the adjournment of the poll in consequence of such pro ceedings, and that it was not proved to your committee that they were of such duration, or of such a character as to prevent the votes of the electors from being recorded." PRESTON. This election committee met for the first time yesterday morning, Mr. Phillips in the chair. The other members of the committee were Mr. Byng, Colonel Wynne, Mr. Davey, and Mr. Abel Smith. Counsel for the petition, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Johnson ; and for the sitting member, Mr. Phinn, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Pigott, and Mr. Barry. The petition alleged bribery, treating, and undue influence, and prayed that the election might be declared void. The formal proof of the return of the writ hav ing been put in, Mr. Knowles opened the case of the petitioners, observing that the class of people chiefly bribed were the old franchise men of Preston, and the bribery consisted in the improper employment of v t h o o t i s e e g men fer as m r. c a G n r v e as n f s e e i r L s , H on e c e o h n e el u i l t d i on of h a se prove teir treating. John Leach, a tailor, of Preston, was first called, and deposed that he was engaged at the last elec tion as secretary to the Trinity Ward Committee of which a Mr. Ambler was the chairman and Mr. S. Smith the secretary. He had seen Ambler and a person named Riding (an alleged agent) at the Three Tuns publichouse, which was th one of Mr. t G h r e e Grenfell ' s election committee-rooms.wiOtn n o ess atievno,ehrenwameseadtQthueayTlhe.re Tae sovereign ng to g th iv e e e t le o c e Tnun su,.asnddayA,mahftleerr was there with a bag of money.

In cross-examination he stated that it had been customary to employ a large number of canvassers, at Preston, and he believed it was a very common thing for them to get drunk a t e l ect i ons. (Laughter.) He denied that,he bad said he would pay Ambler outunless he settled his claim. He said he could do so, and he probably might have said it w ith a mysterious nod of the head. (Laughter.) He mentioned it to a few old friends. It was false to say that he had been guilty of tampering with a pawn-ticket, but he acknowledged that he had been spoken of as a clever electioneering agent, and had spoiled the voting papers of a candidate at the election for guardians, in consequence of which another person was elected. (Laughter.) Thomas Taylor, an old franchise man, and a shoe maker of Preston, stated that Lawrenson (an alleged agent of Mr. Grenfell) took him on the day of the election to Lund's beerhouse. He had been to Riding's house in the morning to see if he could get any money for the election: When at the Odd Fellows' Arms, Farnworth gave Lawren son eight half-crowns, which the latter gave him, v s Li lt n d g . h H e e s h t o h u e l n d went have a l n O a s. p l m e m o r p e e d w f h e e r n G h r e e n f h e a n d , but got so drunk afterwards that he did not go for the 10s., and never had it since. James p es re sentwhen the transaction operative, factory Barton,, a a ti ve referreddeposed he the last witness took place , an d saw Lawrenson giN e the money to Taylor. He w ent to the Odd Fellows' Arms because there was som ethin g to eat e and drink stirring. (Laughter.) David Shaw, a- machine maker, stated that he was an old franchise man, and voted at the last election for Grenfell—a plumper. He received £1 15s. for voting. That was because he was put down as a canvasser. He had come there to tell the truth, and not lies. He did not know who gave him the money. (After some recollection.) The money was paid him by Mr. Constantine. Mr. Phinn—Have you had a drop of drink to day ? Witness—Well, I have tasted ; but what odds is that to you ? I've had a cup of coffee and some thing good in it, but not good enough, for I wanted a sup of whisky, bilt they would not let me have it. (Laughter.) I'll pay for some for you, if you like. I'm lively now, but not so lively as when I've had a drop iv ore. You should see me then. (Laughter.) I've had a gill of porter and two penn'orth of whisky, nowt else, I swear ; and I tell you I'm a Lancashire lad, and have got my clogs on. (Laughter.) Thomas Smith, a loomer, stated that he was an old franchise man for Preston. He remembered the last election and going to Mr. Grenfell's committee room. Some days before the election he saw Hollings, Ludell, and Bradley (alleged agents of Mr. Grenfell) there. He went there more than once. On the second time he went there one of them gave him 25., and said, " You must get some subsistence." He got the money for canvassing. He went to the committee-room again, and got is. ; then he Rent to his work till night, and at night he canvassed. The men canvassed one another, there's no way else b u t that. Some of the can moon canvassed him, and he canvassed others. BANKRUPTS.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high grodnd as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every•description of domestic animal. The Eng lish fanner was slow to encourage i ts use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate thanby the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a c er t a i n saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley' s Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use, in preference toany other of the usual articles . s of food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is nourishing and proper food for the workinghotse,_ certainly, besides it is not f or cows or p i gs. M r. Th or l e y' s Food, ° possessing the advantage of greatly invig and incr eas i ng th e p h ys i ca l power ofrating a nimals, is a tonic the health all powers—a matter of great consequence, lly assists their digestive with their other food, materially and gentle stimulant, and when m u ed bted fact that the conse quent upon the impaired d to be particularly beneficial it will also be found organs ; nourishment contain sin ed ue inoitrhdefective action of the digestive e s ir an ordinary food is lost, in restoring to good working condition horses which hav e constitution. In cows its effects are naturally of a feeble a lmost marvellous, nearly doubling the undoubted, indeed s. the quality been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same ti me enr i c h es the displaying in a few week s it s man if est of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more factored food adcpted in the feeding of s w i ne . S uc h has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, R o yalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a. great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward! course; and he may confidently rely, in producing so highly-favoured a compound, on a continuation of anal. high Aistinguished patronage.
