S.—We admire Mr. MILL as a writer, and replied to him at the time. His authority on this subject is that of au easy living recluse. We have more political faith in MILL the father, than in MILL the son. E. R.—But he says the danger is, new, not coercion by landlords, employers, and customers; but of voting from per sonal interest, or class interest, or some mean feeling in the elector's own mind. E. S.—but Lord DERBY says, tell me the politics of the landlords of a county, and I'll tell you the politics of its representatives. Our observations coincide in their result with Lord DERBY'S. As to the latter notion of Mr. MILL, it is in direct antagonism to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S argument for small boroughs ; he defends them because all classes, even the class of little agricultural boroughs, should be represented. For ourselves, we think, that if every man voted as he thought would be for his own interest, we should get a real representation of the interests of the nation. If all mistook their interests, let experience teach them. Better vote for their own interests than for those of landlords and lawyers, and all the other political tyrants. E. R.—lts (the ballot's) reputation, after all, is founded much more on what it professes to do, than on any real ability to come up to its pretensions. E.S.—Whose fault is that ? You give us no chance of displaying its real ability. At Hull, at Cambridge, at Norwich, at Gloucester, at Wake field, we were willing to have our professions tested. Your party always shrink from the test, even in the " vilest body." We are obliged to believe that you know Corruption Prevention Acts to be quackery, and our cure to be efficacious, but that you hate complete electoral independence. E. R.—Yes, we do (p. 281). We object to throwing the voter loose from efficacious and salutary control—to leave him to his own guidance entirely—(p. 282) with no check of public opinion—to become indifferent, or to yield to the first impulse of passion, interest, or chagrin. E. S.—We thought as much. We on the con trary wish to leave the voter to his own guidance, after he has heard " addresses," listened to discus sions, and read the free press of his country. As to indifference, coercion has made the country electors as indifferent as voting machines ; and bribery does not create the " interest" you would defend ; but as to " passion, interest, and chagrin," we do not know what difference it makes, whether a few indivi dual tenants yieldto their own passions and chagrin or whether they have to yield by the fifty and the hundred to the "passions" and all that sort of thing of landlords. We have heard of such things as JOHN BRIGHT himself being let into the city of Durham to show what a chagrined Tory marquis could do. Nor is that a solitary case. • E. R.—Never. (p. 262), at any period of our history, under Plantagenet, or Tudor, or Stuart, or Com monwealth, have we hitherto had anything to say to secret voting at elections. History and experience give us no reason to assume with confidence that secret voting will promote civil liberty. E. S.—At one time history and experience did not tell us that reporting the debates of our repre sentatives would promote civil liberty, nor that the abolition of the Test and Corporation Acts, and of rotten boroughs, and of Catholic disabilities, and the taxes on knowledge and free-trade would pro mote civil liberty. But all history and experience, so far as we personally know it, tells us that the Ballot, in even humble book societies, in clubs, and in court-martials, does promote social and civil Commence at 7. - ROYAL PRINCES S'S THEATRE.-- Lessee, Mr. A.

R.—But a scrutiny is the great constitutional remedy against frauds, mistakes, and impostures ; they will be far more easily perpetrated, and utterly incapable of detection under secret voting. E. S.—A scrutiny is nothing but a great, and awfully costly constitutional imposture ; a fraud itself, on the poor candidate, and a mistake if in tended to prevent undue influence, or, even as facts prove, bribery. But we deny the greater difficulty of detection. The evidence of bribery would be the same as it now is ; and, as you confessed (p. 270) that bribery under the ballot must be by head money, it must be bribery of such numbers as are always found to be the chief means of detection. E. R.—But you could not possibly tell how the votes were given, and who, therefore, ought to be returned ? E. S.—We can tell that the candidate who bribes ought not to be—or that the agents who bribe ought not to get their man in. And where candi• dates are really personally innocent, if any such number of bribed persons, or other bad votes, have been given as would abet the return, the worst result would be that another election might be ordered. So, even the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill has died the death among the number of the Innocents. It was to be the one redeeming act of the present session. If nothing was done that would be done for certain—and it certainly has been " done," though in a different sense from the one actually pre dicted. The measure that was to compensate those most eager for the advance of legislative improve ment, for the dropping of the Reform Bill, and for the massacre of all the Innocents—the bill elabo rately prepared by one of the greatest lawyers of his age (the present Attorney-General) for the better organisation of the whole system of our jurisdic tion in regard to Insolvency and Bankruptcy — even this, the latest masterpiece of Sir RICHARD BETHEL'S ingenuity as Attorney-General, has now been formally withdrawn by that hon. and learned gentleman in the name and on behalf of her MAJESTY'S Government. The resolution to abandon the bill for the present session was arrived at only so recently as two o'clock yesterday morning. That intention was at once communicated to the officers of the House of Com mons, and upon the House going into committee last evening upon the Bill, the Attorney-General rose and explained the necessity for its withdrawal. It is worthy of particular note that Sir HUGH CAIRNS, immediately upon the close of the hon. and learned gentleman's remarks, rose in his turn for the express purpose of exonerating Sir RICHARD B ETHEL L from any blame whatever in adopt ing or acceding to the course which had just been announced. On the contrary, far from blaming Sir RICHARD BETH ELL, the late Premier's ex-Solicitor- General remarked emphatically that he believed they would all join in expressing the debt of gratitude, which was Sir RICHARD BETIIELL'S due, for the labour he had bestowed upon the billjust with drawn in the name of the Administration. It is the recollection of this, indeed, which lends peculiar poignancy to our regret that so much labour on the part of so gifted a lawyer in the preparation of a bill in itself of such extraordinary importance, should for this session go for nothing and be lost altogether. The bill had gone so far that we would fain have had it go yet a little further. It was ripe for the gathering. A night or two longer and it might have passed through its remaining stages, and before the proro• gation have been perfected into an enactment worthy of redeeming all the many shortcomings of 1860 in the way of beneficent and comprehensive legisla tive achievements. Such, however, was not to be— and the bill is quietly cushioned. The whole session is certainly thereby rendered more of a piece—but that can be regarded as any thing assuredly but a 5011 rce of satisfaction to any one. We can only 'egret that Ministers should thus have lost their la st oPportuuity for adorning the session of 1860 with o ne _ of reflecti ng good and wise act of legislation, capable glory an d h on our upon themselves as an Administration. E. R.—But what vast interests you would intrust to mere mechanism, while you deprive them of the safeguards of publicity. E. S.—On the contrary, we would have the voter come forward publicly and deposit his vote pub licly, and have it taken out and counted publicly . we would only exclude the private corrupt bribery and intimidation, by counter-privacy in regard to the vote publicly given. E. R.—The most ingenious devices can be met by more ingenious ones. Why should the ballot-box be an excep tion ? In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the ballot might be fairly taken, but in the hundredth there might be fraud ; but if in the hundredth it were not so, how great a blow would be struck at our liberties I E. S.—The most ingenious locks may be picked; being therefore no more of HoDGEs and BRAMAHS. The best checks which bankers can devise may be evaded; give, therefore, free scope to your PUL LINGERS. Every Corrupt Practices Prevention Act can be defied ; repeal, therefore, all of them. By open voting not one election in ten is quite honestly taken ; how have our liberties survived such blow s ? E. R.—But you ballotists say that a vote to be honest must be secret. Now discussion and combination have a tendency to prevent the secrecy of a vote • therefore—by A RI STOTLE I—you are against discussion and combination. E. S.—By ARISTOTLE!—we have not time for further discussion just now. But you put a universal into our mouths where we should use a particular only. We ballotists say a vast number of votes must be secret to secure honesty. We also say that the secrecyenables all these persons to listen to discussion, with the advantage of knowing that they can fearlessly vote according to the impressions the discussions make upon their minds, no one daring to interfere. Com binations are often tyrannies. They were so in the case of workmen in New South Wales. The Ballot leaves the combinations untouched so far as they are not oppressive. But at Sydney the Ballot proved in the case of the artizan the truth of your description (p. 277)—" But under the Ballot JONES may be quite at ease ; he may smoke his pipe, drink his beer, shout his three times three to the last, march up to the ballot box with his brothers in arms, and betray them without suspicion." We must part for the evening ; perhaps we may meet The Edinburgh Bedew and: the I3allot ! Who' w ill not read, ma r k, learn, and inwardly digest? After an incubation, too, on the subject, we are told, of nearly 30 years— for a. just after the great Reform Bill it did not lik e , h liberal review ou ght, if it could , to have warmed into life, and since then long brooding over the matter has only confirmed its aversion. For one reason our quarterly contemporary had better have said nothing about the time —we supp ose it is intended to recal SYDNEY SMITH to our recol lection ; but we must acknowledge that the memory of wit and humour on the wrong side makes it very hard work to get through very dull wrongness. again. We would most earnestly direct public attention to anott er part of our impression of this evening, in which will be found the announcement for Wed nesday nest (the 25th instant) of a very remarkable dramatic entertainment. It is a performance of a peculiarly attractive and miscellaneous character, announced by the Committee of the Savage Club , for the benefit of the widow and children of one of their late members recently deceased under very melancholy circumstances. It is a generous tribute in effect which is about to be offered to his memory by the friends and admirers of a young man of letters suddenly carried off by a swift disease in the midst of his honourable toils and in the plenitude of his intellectual powers—a tribute of a substantial kind proffered (as he himself could best have wished) to his lamenting relict and his three little orphan children. It NNW be yet fresh in the general recollection that the departed writer—the late ROBERT BROUGH— died so abruptly and unexpectedly, that his decease occurred during a casual journey to the north of England, we believe to his birthplace. His demise was so wholly unlooked for that no provision what ever appears to have been made for his young widow and their almost infant children—a circumstance the less surprising seeing that the young father and husband himself was struck down by death so very prematurely. The sympathy excited by this melancholy bereavement of the widow and orphans of ROBERT BROUGH has been at once and on all hands proved with affecting earnestness among the mass of the dead litterateur's fellow labourers in literature. Striking evidence of this will be found in the very announcement already referred to as given elsewhere in to-day's impression of The Sun—in which announcement will be discerned so many tokens of ROBERT BROIJGH'S appreciation by so very many of his gifted contemporaries. The general committee acting upon this occasion will be there seen to number no less than seventy-four names honourably, some of them resplendently, dis tinguished in art and literature. At the head of the list appears, for example, the great name of CHARLES DICKENS—type of a noble genius, and a yet nobler heart, always ready to sympathise with any brother of the pen sorely in need of sympathy, or to co-operate (as in the present instance) in aiding materially those whom any departed labourer at the desk may have left behind him in the wide, wide world without adequate provision. Asso ciated with Mr. DICKENS in this enterprise of generous and practical sympathy, are seventy-three otter committee-men, among whose names it would be invidious to make any further selection. Per sonal friends they are for the most part, we be lieve, of the young humorist and dramatist, whose brilliant talents and amiable disposition they have thus united to commemorate. In aid of the committee no less than six of our metropolitan managers have readily come forward with the con cession of the services of some of the most eminent members of their respective establishments. The Companies of the Haymarket, the Adelphi, the Olympic, the Princess's, and the little Strand Theatre thus contribute effectively towards the diversity and general excellence of the proposed entertain- The Theatre-Royal Drury-Lane, is the spacious house wisely chosen for the scene of these performances. The actors and actresses who have volunteered their services for the night include amongst them some of the chief of our London favourites. It is announced already as certain, that the entertainments on Wednesday will conclude with one of the most humorous and bril liantly successful of the burlesques of the Brothers BROUGH, namely, The Enchanted Island. The more miscellaneous part of the performance, com prising an Original Prologue to be spoken by Mrs. STIRLING—aid an Occasional Address delivered and written by Mr. G. A. SALA—together with ROBERT BROUGH'S poem of " Godiva," to be recited by Mr. LEICESTER BUCKINGHAM. We cannot entertain the smallest doubt but that the generous efforts thus made by so many gifted collaborateurs will ensure, on - Wednesday evening, a triumphant suc cess within the walls of Drury Lane Theatre to the "ROBERT BROUGH Testimonial."

JAMES BONTVELL' S CASE. COURT OF ARCHES. THE BISHOP OF LONDON V. THE REV. JAMES BONWELL (Before Dr. Lushington, Dean of Arches. The promoter of this suit is the Bishop of London, an the defendant, the Rev. James Bonwell, incumbent of Si Philip's, Stepney, in his lordship's diocese. Sir J. Harding, the Queen's Advocate, and Dr. Tristram appeared for the Bishop. Mr. Bonwell conducted his own case, assisted by Mr. Sorrell, his solicitor. Sir J. Harding said he had little to say as to the opening of the case, which he thought he should be able to prove. With regard to two of the witnesses he should produce he had to say that they had been in Mrs. Bonwell's service, and were thus as it were brought out of the opposite camp. (The learned advocate afterwards said he did not mean to imply that the witnesses had been in Mrs. Bonwell's ser vice). Mr. Bonwell said he was prepared to declare that the evidence of the witnesses alluded to he could easily uoset if they were called, Their evidence had been concocted, and if they gave such evidence as was stated in the articles he should certainly prosecute them for perjury. One of these witnesses stated in the articles that iss Yorath wore a nightcap. He had ascertained that Miss Yorath never wore a nightcap. Mr. Collis, a clerk in the Consistory Court , pro ved the license of Mr.,Bonwell to the perpetual curacyof St. Philip's, Stepney, on 11th April, 1845, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. G. T. Duffield (now rector of Bow), on the nomi nation of the Principal and fellows of Brasenose College, Oxford. He produced a certificate of Mr. Bonwell's mar riage with Miss Sophia Bird, at Christ Church, Bradford, Yorkshire, on the Ist of January, 1839. Mr. Bonwell was described in the certificate as a bachelor and a schoolmaster. Mr. Humphreys, coroner of East Middlesex, gave an account of an inquest held in September and October last on the body of Philip Yorath, the child, out of whose death the present inquiry arose. Miss Georgiana Ames said she now resided in Bath with Major Watts, her grandfather. She had known Elizabeth Yorath for two-and-a-half years. She paid a visit to Major Watts on the 12th of September, 1858, at Margate, and left on the Ist of December. She knew a Mrs. Robin son at Margate. She recollected meeting Mr. Bonwell at their house. That was the first time she had met him. Miss Elizabeth Yorath was with her. She was not aware that Miss Yorath had met Mr. Bonwell before. They became acquainted on that evening, and talked together. After that Mr. Bonwell called at her granlfather's house, when Miss Yorath was there. He called on Miss Yorath. He called frequently, and they were often in company together, She had seen them sitting on the sofa together. She had seen him put his arm on her shoulder and round her waist, but she had not seen any improper conduct. This was not till he believed he was engaged to her. From his general conduct to her she supposed he was engaged to Miss Yorath. He was exactly like an engaged lover to her, and Miss Yorath told her that she was engaged to him, Mr. Bonwell—That is not evidence. The Judge—Certainly not. Dr. Tristram—Did Mr. Bonwell ever tell you that he was engaged to Miss Yorath? Witness—No. Mr. Bonwell—l never told any lady so. Examination continued—She did not remember that Mr. Bonwell ever said anything about his being a widower. Mr. Bonwell—lt shall come out in evidence that Miss Yorath knew all the time that I was married Examination continued--She remembered Mr. Bonwell and Miss Yorath going together to Ramegat©. She thought they went to Ramsgate two or three times while they were all at Margate. Mrs. Robinson accompanied them, with, oho thoughtit one exception. She believed they went alone when Mrs. obinson did not accompany them. On that occasion they went away between one and two o'clock in the day , and returned between eight and nine in the evening. She did not see Miss Yorath again until the Bth of June, 1859. She called at Major Watts' house in Margate, and left on the neNt clay, She believed, from her appearance, that Miss Yorath was pregnant. Cross-examined by Mr. Bonwell—She did not remember on what day it was she accompanied Miss Yorath alone. Mr. Bonwell—What do you believe to be the distin guishing characteristics of an engaged person ? Witless--a-You were very attentive to her. Mr. Bonwell—l was very attentive to you, was I not? Witness—Yes; but not so attentive to me as you were to Miss Yorath. (Laughter.) Mrs. Anne Robinson, wife of Mr. Henry Robinson, said she was living at Margate in September, 1858, and was on friendly terms with Miss Ames and Major Watts. She made the acqua i n tance of M i ss Yorath the r e at the time, through Mill Araelz• lk 0 also made the acquaintan9l3 r e! Mr. B onw ell through having seen him at t he B e dford dto Hotel. He was afterwards several time s at their h. of se with Miss Yorath, and dined with them on the 14tbt October. Mr. Bonwell's manner to Miss Yorath was v W _e_ry e polite and gentlemanly. 1-le seemed pleased with her. I SECOND HEAT. The A. P. Lonsdale Crew, Manchester and Tyne (yellow) 1 J. G. Taylor, T.

The LORD CHXNCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Several private bills were advanced a stage. THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Lord WYNFORD objected to a private bill, entitled the London and South-Western (Kingston Extension, &c.) Bill. He presented a petition from Dorchester, complaining of certain conduct of the South-Western Company, and after reading the petition addressed the house at very con siderable length, but his speech was purely of local inte rest. A prolonged discussion arose, in which Lord Ebury, the Earl of Granville, Lord Redesdale, and other noble lords took part, and the house was [LEFT SITTING HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(THIS DAY. I The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Aylesbury and Buckingham Rail way (by the promoters) ; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (Deviations and New Lines. &c.) • Mid Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway Deviation ; Peters field Railway ; West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway ; and Manchester and Milford Railway. The Galway Harbour (N0..2) Bill was read a second time ; and on the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the following was agreed to :—That the standing orders be suspended, and that the bill be referred to the former committee on the Galway Harbour Bill, with leave te sit and proceed on Monday next. SAVINGS BANK AND ILL FRIENDLY SOCIETIES B. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. S. ESTCOURT said he felt bound, from a sense of duty, to oppose this bill, which he did with pain, as he considered that this was a measure which should be in the hands of Government. He objected to the entire scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in reference to the bill, which was fundamentally at variance with the recommendation of the committee. It was proposed to deal with the whole stock created by the accumulation of savings bank depositors for several years, and this stock is held by Government as a security to local banks in the same way as any other Government security is held in reference to individuals. It was proposed also to cancel stock to the amount, in round numbers, of £29,000, and the bill had other provisions which were very objectionable. He repeated the arguments urged against the bill on the second read ing, and contended that all the objects proposed by Govern ment would be effected without the creation of a book debt, as proposed by the bill. The matter involved was not a mere savings bank question, but a question of public policy, nd though he had carefully studied the subject he was satisfied that the evils would exceed any advantages re sulting from the measure. He concluded by moving the omission of the clause. Mr. BRISCOE considered that if the Chancellor of the Exchequer required money he should obtain it constitution ally, and not employ for State purposes the money confided to his custody. He thought Government should not be tempted to use such money for financial operations, but that they should regard it entirely as trust property. Mr. HUBBARD said if this bill were introduced simply to confirm the rights of depositors with reference to money deposited in savings banks, it was unnecessary, because at present Government were obliged to return the money to the depositors. But he considered it went further, and proposed to simplify, amend, and improve the management of savings banks with respect to the money in the hands of Government. As regarded the objection of the hon. member (Mr. Estcourt) in reference to the creation of book debts, he drew attention to the fact that on the books of the Bank of England would be found an item of £11,000,000 from Go.. vernment, and that was considered as good a debt as any other security of Government, although nothing more than a book debt. He strongly deprecated the use of the money of savings banks for the purposes of financial in trigue, and he thought such a practice would be most dis advantageous to the interests of a Government. He also strongly objected to the clause which gave the Chancellor of the Exchequer the power to create a new stock, but he denied that the bill was open to other objections which had been advanced against it. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer wished to have the money deposited in Savings' Banks for financial operations, he would not have introduced the present bill which frustrated any such intention, if it were ever entertained. He was aware that the measure was unpopular out of doors, but he had exa mined the roveral petitions against it which were all one sided, and were not really directed against its essence, being founded on an entire misapprehension. He concluded by expreseing his approval of the bill generally, Mr. HENLEY asked who wanted this bill—had any • one petitioned from any quarter for any bill of the kind ? If the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose to waste the money of the savings banks, or to do what he liked with it, the country would be pledged to pay the money so expended. Now, he did not think that the present bill made any al • teration on that point. The committee who had investi gated this subject and the public had every strong feeling as to the question of jobbing, and there was but one view out o f Parliament on the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the effect of this bill, as it stood, was to enlarge the income of the savings bank fund, and to provide for its further extension. That increase, after some years, would amount to no legs than £40,000 or £50,000, and when they came to the consideration of another part of the bill, it would be seen that the extension of the income would be effected. The fact was that the opposition to the bill arose from persons who were interested in the continuance of the present sys tem. He alluded to those officers of savings banks who did not wish this bill, as it tended to diminish the amount ap plicable to building and other purposes in no way benefi cial to the interests of the public. They saw handsome houses built for savings banks throughout the country. which were used only two hours a day for business, and occupied by the officers he described, who doubtless did not desire to be deprived of such agreeable residences. It was with these officers that the petition against the bill originated, and he denied that there was any hostility to the measure on the part of depositors. The state of the case was simply this :—The moral obligation of the country was full and absolute te return the savings banks both principal and interest, which was recorded 1u acts. of Parliament ; but there was v e ef no leect gal mac hinery to enable the Government to gi extreme f to that obligation. If the y supposed the case that all the savings banks required their money at the same time, the Government would not be in a position to consider its payment. The Com missioners of the Nation al Debt had no further power than merely to realise their assets and hand them over towards making up any deficiency, but by this bill the whole fun bor ds of the country would b e an swerable for any money rowed from savings banks. It was admitted that there was a deficiency between liabi l i ties and assets at present which by this bill it was proposed to recover. The deficiency to be dealt with amounted to £3,500,000 which had to be filled up, and he did not consider that he was justified in asking the public to assume that burden, in addition to those heavy burdens under which it was at furthee observatione ia aupport of the bill. preeent labouring, The right hon. Mr. ILtemey opposed, s p ud sir F. BARING supported the bill. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that the Chancellor of the gentleman made some Exchequer had described tbs Government as a banker in regard to the fund now in question, but it assumed far more extensive powers than those exercised by any oter banker in the kingdom. By the bill the Chancellor of the ost Exchequer had a right to change the securities, and a m important innovation was attempted to be introduced. He concluded by expressing a hope that the committee would reject the clause. After a few words from Colonel SIKES a gainst the bill, the committee divided — For the clause ........................ 78, Againet ........................ • • ... 11 8% .. —33 Majori. ................. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Sir, I have only to move that you leave the chair, as the loss of the first cl ause en tirely destroys the bill. (Cheers frora tp The Chairman then loft th e chair and the house resumed, Opposition benches.) but immediately went into committee. REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND WINE LICENSES (IRELAND) BILL, Clauses 1 to 5 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 6, Lord NAAS moved an amendment to the effect that the clause should not apply to night houses of a humble class could not recollect that Mr. Bonwell ever sa id he was un married or a widower. Mr. Bonwell sat on the sofa, with his arm round Miss Yorath's waist. There were several people in the room. Miss Yorath went to to vn on Decem ber Ist, as far as she could recollect. She sam • Miss Yorath again in May or June, 1859, at Margate. There was a • gt eat alteration in her appearance—in her size. She ap peared to be in the family-way. Cross-examined by Mr. Bonwell.--She did not remember any ono saying at supper that he and Miss Yorath would make a good couple, and that he said, " I am a married man." Mr. Lewis William Yorath examined—He said he was a surgeon in practice at Newport, Monmouthshire. He had a sister, Miss Elizabeth Yorath. Mr. Bonwell said he was engaged to his sister, but that he had not written to the mother because he thought his sister was old enough to decide for herself, and that his position, he being of the churl h, was a guarantee that his intentions were honour able. Mr. Bonwell named a time for the marriage. The marriage was to have taken place in June or July, 1859. He said he should like to have the Rev. Chancellor Wil liams to marry them. Mr. Bonwell and Miss Yorath used to stay up of er the other part of the household went to bed. He (witness) and the others used to go to bed about twelve o'clock, but Mr. Bonwell and his sister sat up two or three hours after. Cross-examined by Mr. Bonwell—He had stated at the Evans's that he was a widower. He used to state so every where. Miss Yorath bad been present when he had stated it. His conversation with Mrs. Evans used to be on reli gious topics. His sister was n)t at home at present. He could not say why Miss Yorath left her mother—perhaps Mr. Bonwell could. He had never said that he would come to London at his own expense, if necessary, to ruin Mr. Bonwell. He said he would write to the bishop and have justice done if it should prove his own fall as well. (A letter was produced which witness acknowledged to be in his handwriting, stating that he would go to London and ruin the villain, although he thought Elizabeth was a worse villain than Mr. Bonwell). His sister had never stated to him that she knew, while she was at Margate, that Mr. Bonwell was a married man. Dr. Godfrey, the nurse, and the undertaker having been examined, the case for the prosecution closed. Dr. Lushington inquired whether Mr. Bouwell intended calling witnesses. Mr. Bonwell said he did not, He wished to put ina letter from Miss Yorath, stating that she knew from the first Mr. Bonwell was married. The Judge said it could not be received, but that it might be marked by the registrar. The hearing of counsel, and of Mr. Bonwell in defence was postponed. STAMFORD RACES.—( This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage, were limited, and the show of sam ples was, consequently, small. Both red and white quali ties were in steady, but by no means active demand, at is. per quarter above last week's currency. Foreign wheat—the fresh imports of which are 11,030 quarters—has moved off steadily, at extreme rates. There was a moderate inquiry for floating cargoes, at full prices. Barley was in short supply and fair request, at full quota- tions. Although the show of malt was very moderate, the cl& mand for that article ruled inactive, on former terms. We have to report a fair sale for eats—the imports of which continuo liberal—at the late improvement in value. Both beans and peas were firm in price, and there was a fair inquiry for flour, some kinds of which were the turn dearer. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whe A. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
