A large master builder has commenced proceedings against a leading member of the Masons' Society for intimidation, the person selected being one of those who en deavoured to negotiate an amicable conclusion with the masters. Mr. W. P. Roberts of Man chester, the well-known " Attorney-General" of trades societies, has been retained to defend in the case, and arrived in London on Saturday night for that purpose. The news of this intended proceed ing on the part of the employers excited great in terest and warm discussion at the vari.ous meetings of the trades, and will; no-doubt, be referred - to strongly at an aggregate meeting of the metropoli tan trades, which is to be held in St. Martin's-hall to-night, for the purpose of reporting progress and keeping the movement alive among the London societies. On Friday evening Mr. Patter, the secretary to the Conference, arrived in town, having addressed numerous and enthusiastic meetings on Tuesday, in Birmingham, and on Thursday, in the Free trade Hall, Manchester. Resolutions were unanimously passed at both meetings pledging the trades to sub scribe liberally to the maintenance of the London operatives, in their struggle to defend the legal rights of the working classes. That these resolu tions are not mere words, is shown by the continu ous and steady remittances roc:Aced by the Confer ence. On Saturday among the contributions received were the following Woolwich Committee, £11; London : Coach Makers' Friendly Society (Crown, Broad-street), £10; a Few Friends of the Coachmakers, 9s. ; Friendly Society of Coach Painters, £l5 ; a Skipper in the East, Bs. ; United Labour ers' Society of London, £3B; Cart Wheelwrights' Society, £2.105. ; Shipwrights' Society, Port of London, £25 ; Car • pcnters' Arms, 'Woolwich, £1; Chairmakers and Carvers (Coach and Horses, Millbank), £3O ; Chatham Committee, £3 ; London Upholsterers' Prade Society (Green Man, Soho), £'2 4s. ; Evans and Brothers, £1 12s. ; Second So ciety of Joiners (second donation), £l0; Metropolitan Society of Painters, 10s. • Dry Gas Meter Makers, Glover's, Clerkenwell (weekly), dl N. 2d.

The Conference consider the position of the clues- tion as highly favourable to the workmen, when this ,rapid and steady supply of funds is coupled with the fact that the list of defections from the Central Employers' Association continues steadily to augment in number. They state that the following is the complete list of firms who, up to Saturday evening, had grened without the document (uncon ditionally) :—Aldin, South Kensington : W. Jack son, South Kensington ; Eyers, Whitecliapel ; D. Austin, Bayswater; W. Spicer, Brompton ' • Evans, Brothers, Whitechapel ; M'Lcnnan and Bird, New-road;.

AN AUDACIOUS ROBBERY. A robbery has just been committed at the Hotel Dessin, at Calais, with a degree of audacity which shows that the perpetrator was a master hand at his business. On Sunday week last a well-dressed young man, of about from 20 to 25 years of age, alighted at the hotel, gave his name as the _Vicomte de Nairne, soar of an Admiral of that name, and stated that he was a midshipman in the French navy. He had, doubtless, heard that officers in the navy were treated with particular attention in that house, in consequence of M. Dessin having a son in the service. He found such to be the case, as he moved about as though he were at home, and with out exciting any suspicion. The day after his arrival, on pretext that he expected his father from England, he requested that his room might be changed for one with two beds, which was done. During the day, the weather being wet, he asked Mme. Dessin whether Calais did not contain an establishment where he might pass an hour or two in good society, and a letter of introduction was given him to the president of the Cercle. In the evening he remained at home, and stated that he should not go to bed, as the packet was expected in the night, and he complained moreover Of a toothache, keeping his face tied up with a handkerchief. All his measures had before this been taken. During his stay in the house he had observed where the key of the office where the cash-box was deposited was usually placed, and he took possession of it. At night he entered the office, broke open the desk, and ab stracted 1,500 f. or 1,600 f. in gold and English bank notes, with which he got clear off, calling to the porter to open the door , as he was going to meet his father at the packet and should soon return. He had the impudence to leave behind him a letter stating that he had been four years at the prison of La Roquette, and having no money, and not being able to find any one to supply hian, had taken the sum belonging to the hotel. He thanked the pro prietor for the way. in which he had been treated, and said that he would very soon send him 2,000 f. from England, whether he was bound, if they would not make a hue and cry after him. He recommended the managing clerk at the hotel to keep a better look out er such customers as he did not know, and concluded by sayin(r. that the scheme of the robbery had been planned at La Roquette, where he had an accomplice, and that he had better look sharp or his comrade would attempt something against them when he got out. COAST DEFENCES.—The Crown Commissioners for Inspecting the Coast Defences have recently . visited Harwich, in the vicinity of which there are several. Martel !, towers.

Her Majesty's steam screw storeship Balaklsva, William Pellatt, master. commanding, sailed from .Woolwich Arsenal on Friday evening, laden with grins and war stares, and 2,000,000 rounds of small arms rifle ammunition. The Advance and the Robert, hired transports, have likewise shipped cargoes of war stores for the west. The military store transport Inkerman sailed on Saturday laden with war materials, The company's new screw steamship Ca'diz, on her first voyage to the Mediterranean, laden with mer chandise, specie, and passengers, called at Woolwich Arsenal on Fri-lay, having shipped 100 tons of shot, and sailed thence oil Saturday for her destination. The transport Llewellyn has commenced discharg ing a cargo of returned military stores from Gib raltar. . _ Iler Majesty's steam-tender Bustler went down the river on Saturday from Woolwich on an engi neer's trial of - her machinery, which has been re constructed on an improved system. The result of the trial. was satisfactory. The French aviso Galilee continues in Great Yar mouth roads. Capt. Lemosey, Lieut. Michell, and the other officers of the steamer have entertained on board Lord Claude Ifamilfon and the officers of the Donegal Militia, the Mayor of Yarmouth, &c. The healths of her Majesty and of the Emperor Napoleon were warmly received on the occasion. The screw corvette Charybdis, 21, has proceeded from Chatham to Sheerness for the purpose of going on her trial trip this day to test her engines and machinery. Extensive preparations are being made at Chat ham Dockyard for the launch of the large line-of- • battle screw steamer Irresistible, 80 guns, which will take place on Thursday next. The Irresistible is as fine a specimen of that class of vessel as any ever built at Chatham. Her extreme length is 190 feet ; length for tonnage,lsB feet ; extreme breadth, 56 feet ; and burden, 2;642 tons. The Royal Commissioners on the national defences have announced their intentioi“o visit, Chatham, to make an inspection of the floating battery TrUSty, which received such injuries during the trials made on her with the elongated shot from the Armstrong guns. The Meander storeship, Commander Sir M. Mac gregor, was towed out of harbour to Spithead on Saturday. This vessel, destined to supersede the old Tortoise as storeship at Ascension, is fitted with derricks and chain purchases worked by steam crabs, for hoisting in and out coals at Ascension. She is also fitted with a steam water-distilling apparatus. She will sail for Ascension in company with the Arrogant. No. 40 mortar-vessel has been masted at Ports mouth, and is in the hands of the riggers, joiners, and painters, preparing for service. The Mohawk, 6, screw despatch vessel, Corn. P. C. M‘Dougal, got up steam in the steam basin at Portsmouth on Saturday. The Shannon, 51, screw, has finished coaling in the steam basin at Portsmouth, and has taken in her maindeck armament-8-in. guns of 65 cwt. The Dasher, 3, paddle, Com. Hore, was swung in Portsmouth harbour for the adjustment of her com passes on Saturday. The Urgent, Corn. Hive, exercised her officers and crew with her newly-fitted topsails on Cun aing,ham's patent,.alongside the dockyard at Ports mouth, on Saturday. The snug appearance of the yards, and the wonderfully quick manner in which the topsails were reefed from the deck, created con siderable interest among the officers present. It is believed that the Vulcan troopship will be fitted at once on the same plan. The Simoom screw troopship, Corn. Cook, is taking on board in the steam basin at Portsmouth a large quantity of hospital stores, bedding, B:c., for China. The Beagle, 6, screw despatch vessel, Com. hay, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Saturday, where she received her powder and shell. The screw steamship Greyhound, 17, was masted at Keyham on Friday. Steam was got up on Friday on board the screw steamship lievenge, 91, and the gunboat Snap, in Hamoaze. Capt. Lakeman has succeeded Capt. Rice in com mand of the screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Fremantle. To-morrow (Tuesday) she will probably drop down Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound. The paddlewheel steam sloop Centaur, 6, Corn. Aplen, slipped her mooring's in Hamoaze on Satur day, went outside the breakwater to try her en gines, and returned to Plymouth Sound. The gunboats Snap and Bouncer were masted at Keyhain on Saturday. The paddlewheel steam-sloop Hydra, 6, Comman der R. V. Hamilton, in Hamoaze, got up steam on Saturday to prove her machinery. Her topgallant masts are on end, and she is progressing rapidly towards completion. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Theodore B. Hollin worth, to the Prometheus ; C. Prickett, master ad ditional, to the Fisgard ; William Pitt, chief engi neer, to the Wellington, for charge of the Sans pareil ; William Lowther, first-class assistant engi neer, to the Prometheus, in lieu of a chief engineer ; Owen Owens, first-class assistant engineer, to the Rhadamanthus ; John Peach, acting third-class en gineer, to the Centaur, as supernumerary ; Christo pher Lund and Robert Roberts, third-class assist. engineers, to the Prometheus. THE ARMY. A considerable amount of alarm was occasioned to the officers and troops of the Royal Engineers on parade at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, on Satur day afternoon, in consequence of a serious accident which befell Capt. G. H. Gordon, R.E., while the troops were undergoing their inspection. During the temporary absence on leave of Major Stopford, Capt. Gordon has been performing the duties of Adjutant to the Royal Engineers, and on Saturday afternoon was assisting in manoeuvring the men, when the horse he was riding, which is a very spirited animal belonging to Major Stoptord, sud denly reared up and threw Capt, Gordon on his back, the horse turning completely over and falling heavily upon him. Several of the Royal Engineers immediately ran to the assistance of Capt. Gordon, Gordon had attendance,sus sustained ed when some i t _who was removed to his residence in the barracks in a state of insensibility. Dr. Briscoe, Royal Artillery, was simmediately pt. foundwratsille, that a severe internal injuries, but happily no bones were broken. It will be some time before he will be able to resume his military duties. Shortly after the accident occurred the inspection was discontinued and the troops dismis sed to their quarters. Lieut. R. Atl aorpe and Lieut. S. Fellowes, Royal Engineers, a le to proceed to Dublin for the pur pose of being attached to the Staff of the Comman. ding Royal Engineer at that station. The Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, stationed, at Portsmouth, have commenced the use of'the leather leggings which have been issued by .ordet,s of his Royal Highness the Commander-in -Chief. The general orders issued on Saturday at Wool wich announced that the field and siege brigades of'. Royal Artillery would henceforth be distinguished similarly to regiments of the Line, by the figures 1 to 14, to be attached to the left shoulder, immedi ately below the grenade at present worn by the entire regiment, the grenade to be placed higher on the shoulder, so as to admit of sufficient ,space for the number below ; the depot brigade alone to be exempted, A number of the most deserving . supe- , rior non-commissioned officers of the corps have been recommended for commissions to officer the eight companies of Artillery in course of formation, - to supersede the invalid corps for the general de fence of the coasts of Great Britain. Officers of the late Field Train corps at present unemployed will also be brought in for commissions in the above named companies, which, it is expected, will be fully organised during the present week. A detachment of the Royal Horse Artillery pro ceeded to Si oebitryness on Saturday, from Wool wich, to take over the horses belonging to the Mili tary Train under orders to embark for China.. CAPTAIN F. L. lII`CLIN2 OCK, R.N. As this distinguished Polar navigator is now en gaging so much public attention, we think a brief sketch of his life, with reference especially to his Arctic voyages and explorations, wid not be unac ceptable to our readers. - F. Leopold M'Clintock was born in the town of Dundalk in the year 1820, and is the second son of the late Henry M'Clintock, Esq., by Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the late Vene rable and Rev. George Fleury, D.D., Archdeacon of Waterford. Captain M•dintock's father was the youngest son of John M'Clintock, Esq., M.P., of Drumcar, County of Louth, by Patience, daugh ter of Wm. Foster, Esq., M.P., of Rosey-park, in the same county. He entered his Majesty's navy in 1831, before he had completed his twelfth year, and obtained his lieutenancy in 1815, on the strolls: recommendation of Sir Charles Hotham, in conse quence of distinguished conduct during the opera tions under this officer for the recovery of H.M.S. Gorgon, when stranded at Monte Video. As lieu tenant, he served for two years in the Frolic, then in the Pacific, and was paid off in the latter Cnd of 1817. Both before and after obtaining his-lieu tenancy, he studied with great assiduity and suc cess at the Royal Navy College, Portsmouth, and was highly commended for his proficiency in the different branches of science there taught, especially in steam navigation. In the spring of 1848,feass began to arise for the safety of Sir J. Franklin and H.M,'s ships Enterprise and Investigator were sent out in search of him. The command of this expedition was entrusted to Sir James Ross, and to his shin M'Clintock was appointed a lieute =at. It is by his unprecedented feats of daring and perseverance in the search for Franklin that Capt. M'Clintock has gained such a world-wide re outation. In the icy regions of the frigid zone he has nobly sustained the character of the British Navy, and upheld our claim to the highest place among maritime nations. In this field, be it re membered, the great 'Nelson had his first lessons. in the most arduous duties of naval life. This same inhospitable region of the globe has witnessed the greatest triumphs of British navigation, and has strikingly brought out their finest qualities. The hardy enterprise, the unflinching courage, the won derful endurance of such men as Frobister, Baffin, Sir Hugh Willoughby, Davis, Hudson, Cooke, Sir John Franklin, Sir Edward Parry, Sir John Rosi, Sir James Ross, Sir Robert M'Clure, Capt. Crozier, and Capt. M'Clintock, excite the admiration of the civilised world, and deservedly rank such men amongst the ablest mariners of this or any other country. In each of the three great expeditions equipped and sent out by the British Government in search of the Erebus and Terror, Capt. 111•Clin lock took an active and prominent part, distinguish ing himself by the attention he bestowed to the subject of pedestrian exploration, and especially by the extraordinary long journeys which he per formed. In 1519 he accompanied Sir James Ross in a journey along the north-west shore of North Somerset, when they travelled on foot 500 . miles, and were absent from their ship 40 days. Again, in 1851, when attached to the expedition under Capt. Austin, Capt. M'Clintock was able to make a more extended journey, the distance actually travelled being upwards of 900 miles, and the time occupied therein 80 days. The year 1853 found M'Clintock at Melville Island in command of her Majesty's steamer Intrepid, one of the four ships forming the searching expedition under the command of Sir Edward Belcher. Having given a great deal of consideration to the whole sub ject of sledge-travelling, M'Clintock was eliabled to improve upon what had hithertoo been done. From the very first he appears to have re cognishcd the great importance of this mode of exploration in these regions, and to have availed himself of every means to bring it to perfection. The despatches of Capt. Austin testify to this ; and we have the authority of Capt. Osborne for assert ing " that every part of the sledge scheme carried out by Sir E. Belcher's expedition was grounded entirely on Lieut. M'Clintock's .original ideas"— (M'Clure's Discovery of North-West Passage). The immense advantages that have been derived from this mode of search alone, are best shown by the fact that the different parties despatched from the various expeditions have travelled upwards of 2,400 miles; whilst by the same means several thousand miles of new coast-line have been surveyed and laid down on the charts. In his sledge-journey of this year (1853) Capt. M'Clintock surpassed not only his former feats, but also those of every other com petitor, accomplishing on foot the extraordinary distance of fourteen hundred statute miles in one period of one hundred and five days. A journey of the same length, and under similar circumstances, had never previously been performed, and probably will never be repeated. It was these achievements, the result of skilful calculation, deliberate courage, and indomitable perseverance, that obtained for him the successive steps of commander and captain. By the recent voyage of the Fox, howevor, M'Clintock has earned a conspicuous place in the list of Arctic heroes. This last expedition has accomplished that which the two greatest of maritime nations had in vain previously attempted—it has done what eleven expeditions had failed to do. Capt, M'Clintock has at length wrung from the icy north its secret, and has solved " the great Franklin mystery." By so doing we hesitate not to say he has upheld the honour of the British nation. Had this grand re sult been effected through foreign enterprise it would have wounded our national pride in its most sensitive part, and for ever have tarnished the naval fame of our country. But we must not stop here ; our admiration increases when we think of the limited means by which this great work has been achieved. A solitary ship—a mere yacht, in fact of about two hundred tons burden, fitted out from private resources and manned by a crew of twenty men and four officerB, formed the entire expedition. In the first attempt of the Fox to cross Baffin's Bay one of those serious dis asters incidental to Polar navigation occurred, such as would have deterred any man of ordinary reso lution from prosecuting the search. The Fox got helplessly beset in the main pack of ice, and for eight months (viz., from 18th August to 25th April) she was locked in its relentless grasp. At the er!ol of this period the pack had drifted 1,200 miles in a southerly direction, and the Fox was liberated by a sudden breaking up of the ice, which for many leagues surrounded her in every direction. On this disruption taking place, the scene that pre sented itself must have been indescribably grand. Huge masses of ice, impelled by the gale and thrown into frightful commotion by the waves dashed against each other with deafening uproar, momentarily threatening the destruction of the little yacht. As she advanced under sail and steam to the edge of the pack , the sea became more violent, • and the ice still so closely pressed together that she could scarcely force the masses aside much less escape fearful shocks that would inevitably have crushed any ship of ordinary strength. This con flict lasted for eighteen hours, when providentially the vessel got clear of the pack. It was an ordeal, however, and tested to the very utmost the quali ties of the ship and her gallant crew. This danger over, Captain 111‘Clintock nothing daunted, again bore up for the north, and succeeded in reaching Lancaster Sound early in the summer of 1858. We need not here recapitulate the subsequent history of the expedition, as this is fresh in the public mind. We may take occasion, however, to say, that whilst the main object of the search was kept ever pro minently in view, still no opportunity of advancing the cause of science was left unimproved. A large amount of observations relating to astronomy, ter restrial magnetism, tides and currents, the baro meter, electric and other conditions of the atmo sphere, &c., have been accurately recorded ; and a vast number of specimens illustrative of the geo logy, as well as the fauna and flora of this region of the earth have been carefully preserved to enrich I our National Museum and extend our knowledge of nallitallistory. Besides all this, the sledge jour _ news made by Captain Allen Young; Lieutenant • Hobson; and Captain M'Clintotl, have enabled 'the • geographer to define 800 miles of new coast line. To ha voattained at the same time so many impor tant objects, and each in so efficient a manner, shows . .in the strongest way how admirably the expedition , was conducted. Although Captaiei M'Clin'tock.has seen more Arctic service than perhaps any other officer in her Majesty's Navy, having spent seven - winters. within the Arctic circle and travelled on • foot upwards of 3,500.mi1es in his various exploring Journeys, his health, we under Stand, has not in any way suffered . We are sure th a t ever y on e w ill cordially unite with us in the hope that he may long be spared to his country, and that the British nation may long enjoy the services of one who has prow d himself to be endowed with so many rare qualities of mind and body; VAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION. WAKEFIELD, OCT. 22. the sitting of the Commission thi s morn i ng, /Mr. Simpson was examined. He said--I was a member of Mr. Leatham's committee at the last "eketion. Some time before the polling-d a y M r. Wainw right came to me and asked for money, telling me that 'Mr: Leatham was very tardy in supplying it. I spoke to Mr. Lea.tham, and he said that Wain wright had twice had - £250, and that the money was going very fast. Thisrivas 'early in the election— certainly more than three Reeks before the polling day. I had 130 persorial linoWledge of bribery - being carried on; but it was thoroughly understood in the town soon, before the election, that both sides were bribing away as hard as they coAild. I was on the Continent when first the contest commenced, and when I returned I heard that a man had come down to do the bribery on our side. I spoke to Wainwright about this, and he said it was nothing of the sort ; the man had merely come to help in the election. William Perkin, heerhause-keeper, said—l voted for Leatham at the last election. Mr. Shaw, the pawnbroker, brought me £2O. I told him I would not have it if it was for bribery, but if he liked to give it "free gratis" it was all right. (Laughter.) I should have voted for Leatham without it. Mr. Charlesworth was recalled, and in answer to Mr. Sergeant Pigott, stated that he had no know ledge or suspicion who the " stranger" was. He had no idea who sent for him, nor could he call to mind having seen him in the town in the courss of the election. If he had seen him he had no notion of the business he . was upon. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Do you know whether the " stranger" was an attorney from Darlington? Mr..Charlcsworth—l presume you mean a per sonal friend of mi ne w h o i s i n th e h a bit o f staying with me every year. lam quite sure that he is not the man. lam certain he was not is the town at the time—besides, he is a Whig. (Laughter.) I dcn't remember seein g M r . S er i e w i th a stranger, b ut i t i s possible that Mr. Serie may have been the person who sent for him. I never heard that he did, nor have I any means of kn ow i ng it, except from the tenour of the evidence before this Court. Mr. Sergeans Pigott—Do you know why Mn,. Serle keeps out of the way ? Mr. Charlesworth—l do not. I have had no communication with him. lam sure I hope he will make his appearance here. 1 think it is only just to me that all those parties who know anything about the election should come forward before you and state it. I say this because I see the papers are very unfairly giving me the benefit f the whole of this business. When I was examined I told you where the money came from, and I only regret that I did not go on to tell you all about the debenture without waiting for you to question me on the subject. - - - - Mr. Sergeant Pigott—l can't help thinking that if the subordinates of your party had had a good example set them by the heads of it, they woul-1 have been more likely to make a full and true con fession before us. Wakefield has got a notoriety for bribery; but I don't see why it should be noto rious for perjury as well. Mr. Charlesworth—After hearing the evidence here, I can't see why it should be so notorious for bribery. It is quite plain that the large sums which have been mentioned have not been actually spent in bribery. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—We shall form our own °conclusions as to that at the proper time. Our principal reason for sending for you was to ask whether you could give us a clue to the " stranger," seeing that Mr. Serle, Mr. George Moore, Mr. Fer nandez, and your cousin, Mr. J. B. Charlesu orth, the gentlemen who are likely to know about him, are all out of the Mr. Charlesworth—l can give you no clue what ever. I repeat that it is my anxious desire that all persons who know anything should come -here and state it. I am quite sure that my cousin will return in time to appear before you. The debenture for £5,000 was bought in April, 1856. (Mr. Charlesworth handed in his private memorandum book, containing the results'of his canvass, both in 1857 and 1859 ; which he said would show that in 1857, at least, there was no occasion to resort to bribery to secure his return.) James Ritchie was canvassed on behalf of Mr. Charlesworth by Mr. Barratt, who told him that money was quite common in the town, and he might as well have some as any one else. He had a great abhorrence of takin g c , bribes—(laughter)— but he was over-persuaded by Ba:ratt and Miss Sarah Ann Twibell, and agreed to vote for Charles worth: Three or four weeks after the election Mr. Barratt brought him £4O. Where Mr. Barratt got the money from he had no idea. Mr. W. Bayldon gave John Collinson, who keeps the Wharf Inn, £5O to vote for Charlesworth, and paid him £ll for refreshments to watchers. Mr. Fernandez gave him the money at the Strafford Arms. Gave another voter, named Allot, £3O, which he got from Mr. Serle. Had no doubt that Mr. Serle knew what the money was for. John Collinson, landlord of the Wharf Tun, ac knowledged having received the £ 5O from the last witness. Had also been offered £l5 and £25 by the other side. Mr. A. B. Hickman agreed to pay John Stead's rent if he would stand neutral, and to double it if lie would vote for Charlesworth —that would be £2O or £4O. Stead voted for Charlesworth, and got the money. Mrs. Stead said she was a Blue, and ought to have a new dress, and witness pro mised if Charlesworth won to stand one for her. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Was that meant to be £10? Mr. Hickman—Oh, dear, no. A £lO dress would frighten her. William Taylor voted for Charlesworth, but got nothing for it. The night before the election he got very drunk at the Borough Market Inn, where he fell out of a window and broke his leg. Knew nothing about it until he woke in bed at six o'clock next morning. Mr. Hayworth, landlord of the George Hotel, said --A committee of Mr. Charlesworth's sat at my house during the election, but I took very good care to know nothing of what was going on. I remem bered the fate of a person at Beverley who meddled with electioneering and got fined £lOO with 12 months' imprisonment for his pains, and thinks I to myself, "They'll never catch me at that game." (Laughter.) I was determined therefore to take no notice of anything. Of course I knew from common rumour that there was mischief brewing. My bill comes to about £lll for hire of rooms, re freshments for Mr. Westmoreland and Mr. Serle, the expense of keeping the " fortune teller" Clark for three or four days, and the expenses of the re joicings when the Charlesworth party thought they , had won. There was a" spontaneous burst" of cham pagne at the close of the poll, and when once in troduced it went like wildfire. My bill has not been paid yet. In 1857 my bill was under £37. There was no treating of voters at my house during that election. Thomas Binniagton said—l voted for Leatham without a bribe. As I was going up to the poll, I was stopped by a stranger, who asked me where I was going. I replied, "That's my business," and he then said, "If you'll vote for Cvarlesworth I'll give you £50." I walked on, and then he said, " I'll make it £100." I said, " No •, I'll go to the poll with clean hands," and walked on without taking any more notice of him. He was low in stature, and rather stout, dark brown hair, and apparently a working man, with something like a fustian jacket on. He seemed like a Yorkshireman by his speech. Everett Billinton voted for Charlesworth, but received nothing for it. Thomas Moorhouse offered him £2O to vote for Leatham, but he refused it. Thomas Moorhouse said he had bargained with the last witness for his vote for £2O, which was not to be paid until the vote was given. Cn going to fetch the man to poll early in the morning he met a Conservative agent coming out of his stables, which aroused his suspicions, and on getting into the house Billinton refused positively to fulfil his bargain. He could not persuade him to go to the poll, and after a little while he gave him the slip and went off and voted for Charlesworth. No doubt he got money for it. Billinton was recalled—Swore positively that he .NE - V.S 'ke , 13.

Thomas Hudson, publican ,voted for Lealham without a bribe. J erem i a h4iddup, of the Grapes Inn, offered to get his house opened to the tune of -£2O or ;£3O, and. £BO or X9O for himself if he would vote for Charlesworth. Had heard SC :_.7 '- former witness who swore that be bad . received nothing) state in a public company that he had got 4. 450 for voting for Charlesworth. Mrs. Mountain said that her husband stood neutral at the last election. He went out of town on the polling day, and in the afternoon two young men, strang,ers to the town, came to the house and offered 4 100, 4'200, or £250, if she would tell where her husband was gone. Samuel Oldham voted fo'r Leatham for X2O, which was given him by Armstrong, the pawn broker. The bargain was made a fortnight before the election. Benjamin Lynas, a grocer, said-1 voted for Leatham at the last election. The week before Mrs. Barret came to my shop and asked me how I was going to vote. I said I should not tell any one. She said, I have come to offer you £3O for a pound of 'pa. I said I had . a p ersona l o bj ec ti on t o t a k e a bribe, and refused her offer. She came next day and offered £4O, but I still refused, and she went out saying, "If your name is found on the polling book for Charlesworth you shall have the £4O all the same." I understood from her conversation that her husband had two other voters to look after. Mr. Benjamin Haigh said that a person came to his house and offered him £5O if he would vote for Charlesworth. lie then offered £lO more. His daughter told him that the person was George Moore. He voted for Mr. Leatham, and Mr. Wain wright sent him .E 5 after the election with his compliments. Mr. Thomas Senior said he was an iron mer chant, and was canvassed in the election of 1857 by Dyson„Charleswor,„ W, said, if wit ness woulkpl t pdge himself foj Charlesworth, he would take care he had some good orders for iron. Witness knew that he had good orders to giTe. He told him at first he should consider of it ; and afterwards that he should vote for Mr. Leatham. That was before Mr. Leatham retired. He knew of no other offs of that kind in 1857, nor of any bribery in that election. He knew of no case in 1859, and there was no attempt to operate on him in the same way at thil late election, when he voted for Mr. Leatham. Mr. E. J. Pickslay said he was associated with Mr. Westmorla,nd as law agent for Mr. Charles worth in 1847. He knew nothing of the expendi ture whatever, except that he received £5O for his services soon after the election. He could not account for the extra expenditure which Mr. Charlesworth had incurred in 1857. He knew nothing till after the commission opened about the £3OO to £5OO which Mr. Charlesworth was called on to pay after the election. He did not know who was the paymaster in that election. He only can vassed four persons in the election of 1859, but used no improper influence. He knew of no feasting in 1857. - The court adjourned till Monday. ALLIANCE BETWEEN . FRANCE AND AS PA 1.17. An alliance between France and Spain against Morocco —or, at any rate, a war simultaneously threatened by both those Powers against her—is by no means reassuring to Great Britain. It is felt that France has no appreciable pretext for such a war ; and that although Spain may have had a pre text, nevertheless the Government of Morocco has evinced a disposition to redress the grievances or Spain, which ought to preclude the Cabinet or Madrid from a resort to hostilities. This country is always jealous of wars waged without adequate reasons. When England perceives a war to be entered into upon insignificant and almost illusory grounds, she of course concludes that there are motives for Such a war which are held in the background. This country has a threefold interest in the independence or neutrality of the territories which command the entrance to the Mediterranean. There is the Rock of Gibral tar • then there are our dependencies of Malta and the Jordan Islands; and, finally, there is a third British interest of still more vital import, connected with our power on the Rock and in the Straits, and now yearly rising in force—our com munication with India by way of Alexandria. We are reminded of this third consideration by what is perhaps the simple coincidence of the audience piSt granted at — Paris by the Emperor of the French to M. de Lesseps and his colleagues, who are identified - a ith the project of the Suez Canal, which the British Government bas, under every Ministry, firmly and consistently opposed. And, without committing ourselves to any view of the actual motives of the French and Spanish Go vernments, we cannot forget that the acquisition of influence along the seaboard of the Mediterranean has been pre-eminently an Bee Napoleonienne. Nor is it less certain that, during the last few years, the influence of France along that seaboard, both in the Lavant and the Western Mediterranean, has attained an extraordinary development. The late Italian war has just produced that effect so far as the coasts of Italy are concerned, and.nearly the same may be said at Constantinople, at Alexandria, and in Algeria; while the French navy has vastly in creased. We can hardly, perhaps, blame the French for taking advantage of recent years, in which we have been too supine to keep Oce with them. But it is clear that Great Britain has three distinct in terests at stake in a war waged by France and Spain against Morocco, which it must be her duty to watch with anxious care. Five French steam-frigates are reported to have just sailed from Toulon, for the conveyance of French troops against Morocco; the Spanish preparations have been made with equal determination • and Marshal O'Donnell formally announced on Friday last the withdrawal of the Spanish Consvl from Tangiers. This last event appears to preclude further negotiation. In regard to Spain, why is O'Donnell in such extravagant haste for the com mencement of hostilities ? His grievance, such as it is, is a chronic one, Yet he takes the opportunity for war just as the old Emperor is dead, and the new Emperor is struggling for his authority against a hostile faction in his own dominions. He does so, too, in disregard of the diplomatic interposition of the British Government, who have this extra traordiLary claim upon the Court of Madaid, that they guarantee the Spanish monarchy. A Spanish Ministry, one would say, would hardly persist in this course without some powerful backers from without. Indeed, a war between Spain and Morocco is an event almost without precedent in modern times, whlle the grievance is of perpetual standing. We cannot therefore understand the adoption of such a course at this moment, in spite not only of the mediation of this country, but of the c)ncilia tory disposition of Morocco itself. What the real grievance of Spain against Morocco is, we have lately stated at length. It may he briefly recapi tulated to be that certain small bands of lawless Moors have made petty attacks upon the Spanish town of Ceuta, on the African coast of the Straits; and though Spaie has a right to demand that she shall not be subjected to this annoyance from a professedly friendly power, it appears that the loss of life sustained in these encounters has not exceeded one or two sentries at a time. No Maho metan Government has ever yet maintained such effective secularisation as to coerce all its wander ing tribes on the verge of its dominions. The Court of Tetuan has frankly confessed its incapa city to restrain these bandits, but has shown every disposition to do so. Tne organs of the French. Government, on the other hand, pretend that these little detachments of Moors make excursions into its Algerian territories ; but there is no evidence or notoriety of the fact, and it is strange that the com plaint should only have been mae coincidently with the resolution of Spain to avenge these petty attacks on Ceuta. But even granting that all is as alleged, do the French and Spanish Governments really imagine that they would redress the grievance by the ope rations which they design ? If a French army enters Morocco from Algeria by land and defeats the re gular troops of that State in a general action, will that defeat reduce the Moorish bandits to a state of subordination ? On the contrary, it will reduce the power of the Court of Tetuan to restore order. Again, if the combined squadrons of France and Spain should bombard Tangiers and Mogador, will the destruction of life and property in those ports suppress the robbers who come down from the hills round Ceuta to fire shots at the Spanish sentries. It would be much better that Spain and Morocco should undertake the chastisement of these robbers by a local expedition from Ceuta, formed of a small force from either State. . It surely would never be tolerated that Russia should go to war with :Cur key to approach Tiflis and occasionally phoo key because a few wandering Arabs shotulad and we are hostilities has ever been substantiated; sentry.
