RIGHT Boy, .T I 3,17: S WILSON IN :LA ( Yesterday (Tuesday), at two o'clock, a deputation from the Bradford Chamber of Commerce had an interview with the Right Hon. Jas. Wilson, touch ing the growth of wool in India. The deputation consisted of Mr. Foster, Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. Darlington. Mr. Bazley, M.P. for Manchester, was also present. Mr. FOSTER called the attention of Mr. Wilson to the great desirability there was for growing wool in the hilly country of India. From the specimens that had been imported into this country, it was clear that wool might be grown there very profit ably. The merchants of Bradford and the neigh bourhood, and he believed all in England, were glad that Mr. Wilson was going to India, and they were satisfied that his residence there would increase con siderably the trade and commerce of that great country; and he might add that it was confidently believed that the nurture of the wool trade would not a little tend to increase the Indian revenue. Mr. WHITWORTH followed on the same subject. Mr. WILSON, in replying to the deputation, in substance said that what he had heard should have his best consideration, for he took a deep interest in the woollen manufactures of this country. Mr. Freer, our resident in Scinde, wrote to the Indian Board in 1851 to the effect that if the port of Kurrachee was opened a good trade might be established be tween that district and • country, and with that object he proposed that when the port was opened a fair should be held there annually, as an induce ment for the people of the interior to bring down their goods for sale and exchange. Steps were at once taken by the Indian board to carry out Mr. Freer's suggestions. That gentleman was written to, and requested to send home samples of all goods in the country. He did so, and the board sent them into the manufacturing districts. This was in 1851, and then it was that he (Mr. Wilson) visited these districts, Leeds and Manchester, among other places, wi th the view of getting up a trading disposition with the new port of Kur rachee. In 1830 they would find no wool was im ported from Knrrachee into this country. Ulti mately, it found its way in small quantities. In 1851 Kurraehee sent four millions of pounds, and now, since the fair was established, it had crept up to 19 millions of pounds. The trade of that port since 1851 had grown from nothing to £2,000,000 ster ling. This he looked at as evidence of what might be done by carrying out the trading principles in India. With regard to the black mail dues spoken of by Mr. Foster, he might inform them that Mr. Freer took the personal responsibility of lending to some of the native chiefs a few British soldiers, and they had, he was glad to say, successfully cleared the passes which the marauders alluded to frequented, and now such illegal toll was no longer levied. With regard to the improvement in tht quality of the wool, he suggested that the manu facturers and merchants of this country should send out samples of long wool, and by sending those samples to Mr. Delaney they would find that that gentleman would aid them in every possible way. He would also be both able and willing to explain to the natives how, if they grew long instead of short wool, they would receive a much higher price for it. If such an explanation were made by Mr. Delaney to the natives, with the suggestion that they should adopt it, he (Mr. Wil son) had no doubt but they would at once do so. Without doubt the hilly districts were much better adapted than any other for the growth of wool. To grow useful wool a temperate climate is neces sary—if it were too hot or too cold, the wool was no longer wool but hair. The great thing wanted in India, however, was the means of transportation. and that was the real explanation why the numer ous products of that country had not been supplied to us long ago, Mr. Freer, he was glad to say, had just been appointed a colleague of his as a member of the Supreme Council at Calcutta, and as soon as he (Mr. Wilson) arrived at that city, he should lay before that gentleman what he had that day heard from Mr. Foster and Mr. Whitworth ; and as soon as he had done so, he had not the slightest doubt but Mr. Freer would remove every obstacle that stood in the way of producing more and better wool in India. And, as regarded him self, the subject to which they had called his atten tion would, he could assure them, receive his best support, and if he heard of anything at any time that would be of use to them as information, he should not hesitate to communicate it to them. In conclusion he thanked them for the hcnour they had done him by the visit, and in wishing him success. The deputation soon after withdrew. GLOUCESTER ELECTION COMMISSION EIGHTH DAY. GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY. Tht inquiry was again proceeded with at 10 o'clock this morning. The first witness examined was Mr. Charles John Monk, who stated that he was one of the candidates at the late 'election for Glou cester. Was at the Travellers' Club on the after noon of the 27th of March, when a friend came and said that a deputation from Gloucester was at the Reform Club, and wished to see him. Went to the Reforni Club to meet them, and saw Mr. Price, who introduced him to the deputation, which in cluded Mr. Innell and Mr. J. Wilton. Mr. Wil ton, who was the spokesman, said they had been requested to come to London for a second Liberal candidate to contest the city in conjunction with Mr. Price ; that they had already asked Mr. Price's advice, but that he had declined to inter fere. Mr. Wilton also said that they had wished to induce Mr. Bernal Osborne to become a candidate, because he was a well known man, who had been a long time in Parliament, and would be very popu lar in Gloucester; but that he had refused to leave Dover. Mr. Wilton then said that witness was the next person to whom they had applied; that his name had been favourably received by the mem bers of the Reform Club ; that he felt sure a second Liberal might be returned in conjunction with Mr. Price; and that if Sir R. Carden was a candidate again there could not be the least doubt of the success of both Liberals, because Sir Robert was exceedingly unpopular in Glocester, and even his own party were heartily tired of him. He also stated that it was an indispensable condition that any Liberhl candidate should support the ballot. He then assured witness that the total probable expenses of the election for both the Liberal candi dates would be under £1,200. He subsequently added that even in the case of a protracted con test he would guarantee the expenses to be under £1,500. He told witness that it was a custom at Glocester for the old candidate to pay one-third, and the new candidate two-thirds of the expenses ; that Mr. Price had done so himself, and that if witness became a candidate he would be expected to do the same. That was the whole of the con versation as far as Wilton was concerned. Witness had observed that he was in possession of the field at Cricklade; that he had contested that borough at the previous general election, and was prepared to contest it again in the event of a dissolution ; that he had attended to the registration there at some expense to himself: that if an election did not take place before a Reform Bill passed, he was cer tain of a seat there ; but that, even if a dissolution occurred before a Reform Bill passed, he had every chance of success. He might add that the candidate who succeeded him at Cricklade was within two votes of being at the head of the poll. Told the deputation he must consult his friends be fore giving his decision, and promised to meet them at their hotel at 9 the same evening. Afterwards saw them at the Reform Club. Previous to that, however, had an interview with Mr. Moffatt, to whom he told what the deput a ti on had said, and asked his advice as well as his opinion whether the prospect of success at GlQcester would justify him in leaving Cricklade. Mr. Moffatt had arranged all his expenses at Cricklade in 1857. M r . M offatt ob jected to his paying tv o-thirds of the expenses at Glocestor, and said there ought to b e an equal divi sion, witness undertaking, as the new candid a t e , to go t o th e wa ll i n case on ly one Liberal could be re turned. Mr. Moffatt had an engagement in the county, next d a y, an d so he met the dep u t a ti on again at the R e f orm Clu b t h e same nig h t. M r. Price was also there, but witness himself was not present. Mr. Moffatt afterwards told him that he had fought hard for an equal division of the ex pense, but th a t, on an explanation of what Mr. Price had done himself on a former occasion, he thought witness ought to yield. He then told witness that there wou ld b e only one exception to that principle ; that each candidate should pay his own agent and for hi s own committee roe if he had any; and that all expenses incurredn under the authority of th e Reform Club' shoulcibe divided in the proportion of two-thirds t 3 witness, and one-third to Mr. Price. Th a t statement was repeated before Mr. Innell and Mr. Wilton, and they assented to its correctness. Next morning he consented to stand, and addressed the Liberal elec tors of Gloucester on the following Thursday. That same night the division took place in which the Government were defeated, and the dissolution was announced on the Monday after. He issued his written addms on the next Tuesday, commenced his canvass on W e d nes d ay , an d was joined by Mr. -4 043 on the Friday. Commissioner Vaughan—When the sum 500 was named he had not the t amount being required sli,ghtest — s for bribery. If he had had the least suspicion that bribery would take place he would never have come to Gloucester. He held a high official position in that" diocess, and also bore a name which he would never have suffered to be mixed up with dishonourable practices in that city. Never heard anything said by Mr. Innell or Mr. Wilton about the expense of messengers. None of the items were gone into. As Mr. Moffatt was leaving the club on the Sunday evening he advised witness if a dissolution took place to go down to Glocester and canvass, and to stick to the place till the elec tion came of, telling him at the same time that he need not trouble himself about the expenses con nected with the election; that if any money was wanted for preliminary expenses he would provide it himself, or that if he went to Mr. Ralli he sup posed that gentleman would not object to make an advance for that purpose. Witness replied he was sure Mr. Ralli would not object. The conversation made so liitle impression on witness, and he was so little aware that any sum would be required for preliminary expenses that he never mentioned the matter to Mr. Ralli. Indeed, Mr. Ralli, being a foreigner, was the last person he would have spoken to about elections ; because he knew nothing of how they were conducted. Mr. Ralli was well aware that Mr. Moffatt had advised him in regard to Cricklade as well as to Glocester. Told Mr. Ralli next morning at breakfast that he was going to leave Cricklade, and that Mr. Moffatt had ad vised him to stand for Glocester. Left London and remained at Glocester till the election was over and he had been returned. Certainly had no com munication whatever with Mr. Ralli respecting the election expenses. When he stood for Cricklade Mr. Ralli was at Rome. No one while at Gloces ter made any application to witness for money for the election. Did not think that singular. When he contested Cricklade, which had almost as many voters as Glocester, he was never asked for a shil ling till the claims were sent in a month after the election. He had no idea that that rule would be departed from at Glocester. Did not know till months afterwards that money hid been sent down to the Glocester Bank by Mr. Ralli. Was asto nished when he heard of it; because he had left the whole management in Mr. Moffatt's hands. and was surprised that anyone else had interfered. Returned to town to attend the election of the Speaker, when Mr. Moffatt told him he had had applications for money from Glocester. Mr. Moffatt had not told him before that he had received money from Mr. Ralli ; and Mr. Rail himself never told witness that he had advanced money. Had a letter from Mr. Jones (his agent) on the sth May, relative to the expenses. The firsl he heard of money being required was from Mr. Innell, who said that Mr. Wilton was engaged with Mr. Ellis and Mr. Jones in getting in the election bills. This was about the middle of May. As soon as the month was over for sending in the claims he requested Mr. Jones to forward all the bills to Mr. Moffatt, to whom he had left the entire settlement of the expenses. Mr. Jones said he had not been able to do so at that time, as the bills were not ready. Never went to any Glocester bank himself, nor sent any one else there for money during the whole time be was down there on the election business. On the 2d June wrote to Mr. Ralli to pay Mr. Moffatt £5OO on his account, if that gentleman should apply for it. Did this partly because certain election claims had been made upon Mr. Moffatt, and partly to put into his hands a sufficient sum to pay the whole expenses of the election. At that time had no knowledge of any money having been advanced by Mr. Ralli. Was not clear when he first received that informa tion ; but it was soon after he came up to town. On the 2d of June Mr. Moffatt told him he had advanced a sum to Mr. Price. Was not sure whe• ther he named the amount. Thought Mr. Moffatt had mentioned the circumstance -to him before. . His belief and suspicion were that Mr. Moffatt had gone to Mr. Ralli for the money, as he had said he probably would do before the election. Assumed that Mr. Ralli had advanced the money, and took it so much as a matter of course that he never asked Mr. Ralli the question. Witness paid £464 to Mr. Jones, and £l6 7s. 10d. more for auditor's fees. These were all the sums he had paid in respect to the election. When the petition was presented to the House of Commons Mr. Moffatt said he would rather :not receive the further claims from Mr. Jones, as he expected to be examined. That was in July. When witness was unseated on petition ho certainly declared to Mr. Ball that there had been a profuse and shameful expenditure at Gloces ter. Lived at Glocester when his father was bishop of the diocess; but never took nny part in politics. While on the canvass with Mr. Price witness one day asked tbst gentleman - what all the Apersons in the committee-room were about, and whether they were messengers. Mr. Price said he did not know, and preposed that they should go and inquire of Mr. Ellis. Saw Mr. Innell and Mr. Wilton at Mr. Ellis's office, and questioned them about the messengers. They stated that they knew nothing about their engagement except that they had been put on by Brewer Monk. Asked Mr. Innell how many there were, and he said he did not know, but thought there were more than were necessary. Witness then declared that if a colour able number were employed, or anything practised that would endang er his seat, he would at once re• tire from the contst. Mr. Price made a similar declaration, and requested Mr. Ellis to write to the Reform Club to cut down the number to 20. Un derstood the number was then reduced. That was all he knew of anything like lavish expenditure. Recollected Mr. Wilton saying at that time that their two candidates had not so many messengers as Sir R. Carden alone. When .he wrote on the 25th March to Mr. R. Wilton, to get him to be come his agent, witness declared that "he must set his face steadily against everything like bribery, and was not prepared to pay anything beyond the legitimate expenses." Did this because he had heard that Sir R. Carden's election in 1857 was entirely carried by bribery. That was when he heard that Sir M. Berkeley would not stand again. At the close of his examination before the commit tee of the House of Commons, witness was asked " whether he had any notion where the money came from ?" He replied that he "had no know ledge whatever." Thought the question an unfair one. Meant by his answer that he " had" no know ledge "at the time." The word " had" had been inserted for "have" in the printed evidence, by some mistake. The analysis of his personal can• vass was as follows :—Promises to Price and Monk, split votes, 702; Price and Carden, 42 ; Monk and Carden, 15 ; plumpers, Price, 18; Monk, 2 ; Carden, 462. The total number of voters pledged was 1,241 ; the number who refused or could not vote was 38, and the unpledged 216, making together 1,495 voters. The deaths and double entries were 226, and the total number on the re gister was 1,721. Did not think that a sum like £l,OOO could be legitimately expended in a contest on behalf of the two L'beral members. His total expenses at Cricklade, an agricultural constituency, were £964. Knew there were solicitors to employ, the expenses attending the canvass and conveyance of the out-voters were heavy, and the hustings charges very high. Considered that no further claims could be brought against him. Recognised no claim for £4O on the part of Mr. Lane. If Mr. Bro. therton had lent £2OO to 'Mr. J. Wilton, it was a most unjustifiable proceeding, and he did not think himself bound to refund that sum, or one of £95 to Mr. Wilks. Was neither legally nor honourably bound to make it up to any of them, and was not disposed to do so. Supposed that he should have to pay the £5OO advanced by Mr. Ralli. Knew that Glocester did not bear a very high reputa tion, but always understood that bribery was practised on the Conservative side. Had taken a note of the conversation between Mr. Norris and Sir Robert Carden as repeated to him by Mr. Price in the House of Commons, and there was some little discrepancy between Mr. Price's version and his own memoranda. As he under stood the matter, the cost of Sir R. Carden's elec tion in 1857 was £6OO ; the cost of the petition was £4,000 ; Sir Robert's expenses in the contest of 1859 was £l,lOO, and he expected to he called on for £4OO more, making £1,500, whil e h e th oug ht it would cost him another £l,OOO to turn Price and Monk out. Witness believed the latter item was yesterday stated at £2,000 or £3,000. When he came to Glocester he had no notion that bribery would be resorted to, and when he put himself into \lr. Moffatt's hands he felt satisfied there would be nothing illegal. Never supposed that a person like Thompson would be employed to take the money down- Understood from Mr. Moffatt that he had not sent Thompson at all, but that he had been sent by Sir W. Hay ter. Never heard from Mr. Moffatt that Thompson was to have £lOO if he won, and £5O if he lost. Was astonish e d to hear, tha t that had been in evidence. Wit ness thensaid that he had canvassed a family who we re st a er t d L a o y n re fo p r r d e- . sented as being susceptibl e of bribe ry 3 Saw the daughter, who, divining his object, g told him it was no use his coming there, saying " Father can't r ffcrd to vote without havin g something for it. Hm as pays best has the votes." (Laughter.) Witness on hearing this immediately turned to those near him and said he hoped he should not have one vote from that family. The same famil 3 the memb e r s o f w hi c h were 12 o r 14 in numb er , were pointed out to him on the election day as they were corning up to the poll, arm in arm, and not exceedingly sober. (A laugh.) Would hand in his pass-books. His local bank was the Glocester shire Bank. He drew a check on his London bankers, Messrs. Drummond and Co., for £464, and another check soon after for the auditor's expenses. Mr. Monk then withdrew. The inquiry was then adjourned till this day. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY' 'rEVENThTG, OCTOBER 5, 1859 WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMIIIISSIO..Y. WAKEFIELD, TUESDAY. The inquiry commenced to-day at the Court house, before Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Mr. Willes, and Mr. Slade, the commissioners appointed by her Majesty to inquire into the condition of the borough. Mr. Sergeant Pigott said the commission was appointed under the 15th and 16th Victoria, cap. 57. No doubt it was familiar to all persons con nected with that borough that a committee of the House of Commons had signified in a resolution that corrupt practices had existed at the last elec tion for the borough. By the Bth section of the act power was given to the commissioners to sum mon any person they thought proper, and to call upon them to produce papers and documents. If the witnesses did this and told the whole truth it remained with the commissioners to give them in demnification by certificate against the consequences of bribery. There was no limit to the powers of the commissioners in their endeavours to arrive at the truth, and it was therefore his duty to warn all who might be called before them that the con sequences of equivocation might be dangerous. With those observations he would now proceed to call before them such witnesses, as far as he was aware, to speak to those things which were made known by the investigation before a committee of the House of Commons. Mr. James Whitham, town clerk, examined by Mr. Sergeant Pigott, said—The number of voters was 952. Of these 70 were double numbers, leaving 882. There were 809 voted last election, 406 for Mr. Leatham and 403 for Mr. Charlesworth. The previous election, which took place on the 27th of March, 1857, was an uncontested one. Mr. John Charlesworth Dodson Charlesworth was then re turned. Mr. Leatham was in the field, but he withdrew from the contest. The next election before that was in July, 1852, when Mr. Leatham and Mr. George Sandon were the candidates. Mr. Sandon was returned. In July, 1847, there was a contested election. Mr. Sandon and Mr. W. Alex ander were the candidates. The number polled was 650-392 voting for Sandon, and 258 for Alex ander. I myself took no part in the last election. I simply voted. Mr. Harrison (examined by Mr. Willes) said—l was election auditor before the commission. Mr. Bruce was Mr. Leatham's agent, and Mr. Taylor was agent for Mr. Charlesworth. I audited the accounts within three months from the 2d of May. I delivered to the town clerk the accounts which were sent in to me. I have a statement of them at my office. Mr. Bruce (examined by Mr. Sergeant Pigott) said—l am a barrister, and was agent for election expenses on the side of Mr. Leatham at the last election. I kept my account in a little memoran dum book; but I have not the original copy. I destroyed it. I burnt it because it had got dirty, and made another copy. I sent a copy to Mr. Leatham. That was just three months after the election, when the petition was going on. I will undertake to swear that the copy I now hand in is a true one. I have been at the bar four years and know the value of an original copy. Mr. Wain wright was agent for Mr. Leatham at the election. I know of the expenditure of £4BO. I do not actually know of any other, but I believe more money was spent. I forget the amount, but have heard that there was £450 beyond the £4BO spent. I have heard a good deal about bribery. I heard it said that there had been something like £4,000 spent on the opposite side— the Conservative ; and I have heard it said that as much had been spent on ours. I heard that said by different persons at different times, but it was from no person having authority, and. I cannot remember any of their nanl y es B Mr. Slade—l know a man named Thomas Field Gilbert. I have seen him in Wakefield before the election. He was introduced to me under the name of Field. He came before the election com menced and remained till it was over. Mr. Morgan, deputy town-clerk, produced the accounts of the election auditor, which he received on the 14th of August. John Toting Sweeting said,—l am a publican. I signed the petition against Mr. Leatham's return. I signed it because I knew from Mr. Charlesworth's canvass that he must have been returned if there had not been bribery. Mr. Westmoreland said that if he would sign the petition, Mr. Barff would hold him free of all expenses. Mr. Samuel Richard Green, the other,petitioner, was then called, but did not answer to his name. Thomas Beaumont said,—l am a voter for the borough and a tailor. In the early part of the year a man named Denison came to me. I was then in poor circumstances. He asked me if £lO or L 1.5 would be of any service to me. I looked astonished, when he said, " You need not look alarmed ; you can have it if you like." I afterwards met Deni son at the bottom of George-street. I then got £lO to vote for Leatham. I did not vote for him. After the election Denison asked me for the £lO back. I received nothing for voting on the other side, nor for voting at previous elections. By Mr. Willes—l have received nothing before or since the election, on Mr. Charles worth's side. Mr. Slade—Do you know the meaning of the word " sugar,—brass sugar ?" Witness—Yes. Mr. Slade—Did you ever hear of any person hav ing brass sugar for his vote I" Witness— heard of a man named John Jackson getting £3O for his vote. Henry Denison said he remembered going to Thomas Beaumont's house in January last, when he asked him to get him a loan ofi:10 from Mr. Wain wright. The money was lent, and Beaumont signed a promissory note for it. It was not lent with the object of bribing, although he was asked to vote for Mr. Leatham. Thomas Beaumont, recalled, said—Denison did pay my rate last January. He gave me a pound then, I never asked him to pay it. He came to my house and said he had been to pay it with some others that day. John Jackson—l keep the Prospect House. Mr. Hinchliffe called on me in January last. He never offered me any money. He called on my wife, and offered to give her £lO or £l5 to get me to vote for him. Hinchliffe afterwards gave my wife £3O. I saw only a sovereign of the money lying on the table, but I never saw any of the £29. The sove- . _ reign was, given to Hinchliffe. My wife called to him as he was going through the bar, and said, " This man wants something." He told her to give him a sovereign. She said she had £3O, but I did not see it. I signed a note wh en th e money was paid. I never kew how the money was spent. I voted for Mr. Charlesworth. He came back for the money a fortnight after the election. He re ceived the money to vote for Mr. Charlesworth. He never repaid it, but a person named Jacob Harrison came for it. Mr. Charlesworth asked me for my vote. I neither promised nor refused him, and said that I had not made up my mind. I did not tell Mr. Charlesworth that I had been offered £3O to vote for Mr. Leatham. By Mr. Willes—Some of the voters used to come to my house, but it was not made an open house. Sarah Jackson said—l am the wife of the last witness. I remember Hinchliffe coming to my house and giving me £3O. My husband was not present. The money was given to me to persuade my:husband to vote for Mr. Leatham.. I gave £1 back. I myself took care of the £29, and after wards paid my debts with it. A man named Jacob Harrison came twice to the house for the money back. Hinchliffe also came for it. I asked him who the money belongred to, and he said it was his. I said, "How can it be yours, when you had to go three times to the committee-room for it ?" I did not persuade my husband to vote for Mr. Charles worth, but for Mr. Leatham. By Mr. Willes—lt was on the Monday before the election that Hinchliffe brought the £3O. Edward Hinchliffe (examined by Mr. Sergeant Pigott) said—l am a plumber. I remember taking .£3O to Jackson before the election. Ido not know the gentleman from whom I received the money. He was a stranger to me. I had the money in my possession a couple of hours before I gave it to Jackson. I received the money from a gentleman in Mr. Wainwright's office, in George -street. He was called Field or Gilbert. I took the money out of a small bag. I offered a voter named Rogerson £2O. I expected to get that £2O from the same source as I received the other. I canvassed a person named Wm. Bairstow, living in Westgate, and several others, but did not offer them money. Nobody told me to offer money. It was my own idea, and I guessed where it might be got. I canvassed a man named Wainwright, landlord of the White Bear, a publichouse on the Bradford road, for Mr. Leatham. I offered him £2O for his vote, which he accepted. I got the money from Gilbert, at Mr. Wainwright's office, and gave it to Wainwright, who, after all, voted for Charlesworth. I got the money back from him after the election, and applied it to my own purposes. These were the only persons whom I bribed, or offered to bribe, in the course of the election. £2O was about the market price of a vote, though I have heard of as much as £lOO being offered. I always did business myself at the lower amount. Mrs. Beaumont, wife of a former witness, was called and denied that she- had ever told Denison that the Conservatives had offered her husband money for his vote. Mr. Beverley, an outfitter, was also examined on this part of the case. He had canvassed Beaumont before the election, and had got him to promise to vote for Leatham. A day or two before the polling, having he ar d f rom Denison that the Blues had bought Beaumont, lie called on him and found his wife in. She took him into a side-room to " tell him all about it." " Our principles are Yellow, you see," she said, " but you Yellows are such a scrubby lot with your money. The Blues have been here and counted down 36 sovereigns on that table far my husband's vote. My husband said he had promised Leatham, and it would go against his con science to Break his word. I told him to put his conscience in oue pocket and the money in the other, and see which was best." (Laughter.) Witness could not find out from Mr. Beaumont who it was that had offered the money, but suspected it was Joe Brear. Mr. Alfred Ashe was next examined as to the proceedings of the non-electors' committee, and the expenses incurred by it ; but there was nothing in his evidence of any importance, He was under examination when our parcel was despatched. The notorious Godfrey Noble, whose revelations before the Election Committee were the main cause of Mr. Leatham's unseating, was mobbed on his way through the town to the Court-house, and but for the interference of the police would have been very severely handled. The Commissioners, on being informed of this, ordered steps to be taken for the discovery and apprehension of ,the ring leaders, and expressed the intention of usingltheir powers for the prevention of similar outrages for the future. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 4. MANSION-HOUSE.— Robert Richardson, of 23, Union-street, Spitalfields, cap manufacturer, was charged with feloniously receiving 100 caps, value £lO, which had been stolen from the promises of Mr. F. D. Poulter, Watling-street, manufacturer. A man named Garrott, formerly in the service of the prosecutor as porter, had been remanded from this court, a few days before, on a charge of steal ing the same property. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prisoner. Police-constable, 9 G, said—From information I received I went to the prisoner's residence in Union street, Spitalfields. He keeps a hatter's shop. I was in uniform at the time, and had another officer with me. I asked the prisoner if he knew a man named Garrott, and he said he did. I saw sev e• ral caps of the same description as those which had been stolen from the premises of Mr. Poulter. I told him those caps were stolen property. He told me he had bought some duplicates, and pro duced four. One was for two dozen caps, which I find to be the ones Garrott was charged with steal ing ; two were for ten caps, and the others did not relate to this charge I then went for the prose cutor, leaving a constable in the shop. When I came back with the prosecutor he identified about 100 caps, which the prisoner produced, as his pro perty. I asked him (prisoner) how much he gave for them. He said he did not know, but he had a receipt, which he and his wife looked for, but which they said they could not find. The prosecu tor then gave him into custody for having the caps in his possession. _ _ _ Sophia Doddridge—l know Garrott. Garrott had some caps at the pawnbroker's, and said he would get them out if the prisoner would buy them. This he agreed to do, and I took the caps to the prisoner's shop. I do not know what he gave for them. There was no concealment in con veying the caps to the prisoner. I did not know they were stolen. Mr. F. D. Poulter—The caps produced I believe to be my property. He offered .f,50 yesterday for me not to lock him up. Mr. Lewis—That was as a security. The prisoner was then remanded, but admitted to bail. GUILDHALL.--Mr. Joseph Schlesniger, ammu nition manufacturer, of George-street, Birming ham, was charged with obtaining, by false pre tences, a bill of exchange for the sum of £37 16s. 10d, with intent to defraud Wm. Poole, of King's Head-court, Beech-street, Barbican. The prosecutor said—l am a dealer in emery cloth and black lead. On the 16th of December last I had an office in Albion-hall, London-wall, when the prisoner came to me and said that as I was recom mencing business he would help me with an advance of money. It was arranged that I should accept a bill for £ll, of which I was to have £lO, and the other £1 was to cover the interest for three months. He then got me to accept a bill in blank, which I. afterwards found he had filled in for £37 15s 10d. He promised to get it discounted at hia banker's, and to bring me back the money. The bill was drawn at four months, and made payable at the office of the prisoner's brother, in Basinghall-street, so that the bill when due was never presented to me, although I was sued upon it about a fortnight after. The holder of the bill was a man named Harrison ' occupying a garret in Birmingham, a t is per week. I have not paid the bill, and they have not gone on with the action. Cioss-examined—l travelled for the prisoner about 18 months. I never paid any rent for the office in Albion-hall, of which the prisoner holds the lease, as I was to live rent free, and receive a com mission of 5 per cent. upon all goods I sold for him. I ceased selling for him at Christmas last. I col lected money for him afterwards, and accounted for the whole of it, about £7. I had transactions with him for three months after the bill fell due. I gave notice at the bank that the bill had been obtained from me under false pretences, and the prisoner in consequence drew it out of the bank the day before it became due. I brought an action against him in the Court of Queen's Bench for goods sold and de livered and commission. It was for £l5, and on the trial the bill in question was referred to, and the whole matter in dispute between us was referred to arbitration, and the award was in the prisoner's favour, the amount awarded tarrying costs against me. I hate not been out of the way to avoid an execution for £42, the amount of the costs, but' I have not paid them. I did knock the prisoner down in the street about four months ago, but he struck me with a stick on the hat. I have not had £1 per week of him for two or three years. He first agreed to give me £1 per week, and after getting the benefit of all my connexion he took away the salary, land gave me a commission of five per cent. I cannot say if I have ever ac cepted any other bill, because he was going to Ger many once and got me to sign a paper, which he said he would get filled up as a power of! attorney, to enable me to collect money in his absence, and I afterwards ascertained thatit had been filled up as o bill of exchange, but I have not seen anything of it. I asked for the paper I had signed, and was told it was destroyed. The prisoner said—l have been for the last nine months annoyed by thie man. We have an execu tion against him for the costs in the action, and he therefore collects a large crowd round me wherever I go, calling after me, " There goes the swindler and the thief." About three years ago he came to me without a boot or stocking to his feet, and hav ing known him previously, I took compassion on per week, a n d a ll owe d hi m t hm, and gave oilivein Albion-hall, him n-hafl, l at a rent of 6s per week, on the understanding that he should not be required to pay rent while he could not afford it. We found, however, that he damaged us seriously with our customers, and during the three months he sold for us, we had bad debts to the amount of £3OO or £4OO, for he could only get orders of swindlers and such as would or could not pay. But when I found he was carrying on business of his own behind my back, I paid him by commission, and afterwards, when I was in the country, he collected and em bezzled about £2O instead of £7 which he has men tioned, and I therefore got this bill from him to hold as security for his honesty, as I told him, as long as he remitted the money for the goods we supplied him with, I would not enforce payment of the bill ; but when I found him embezzling the money he collect( cl, I instructed my solicitor to sue him on the bill. I have given him hundreds of pounds in charity, and this is the way he serves me. If I had discarded him at first I should never have been in such a position, I was obliged to discharge him, because I found his commission for the last three months he was in my employ did not exceed 255, and I told him I could not afford to h e l p hi m in that way any mors. Alderman Hale said as the bill was not forth coming nothing could be done, and the charge was therefore dismissed. CLERKENWELL. THE STRIKE.— Patrick Lovett, aged 23, a labourer, residing at 8, Morgan's yard, Islington, was brought before Mr. Corrie on a warrant by Randall, 172 N, one of the warrant officers of the court, charged with assaulting George M'lntyre, by striking him on the face with his fist. The court was crowded by various workmen who are interested in the strike. The complainant, who appeared in the witness box with his face bruised and a very bad black eye, said the prisoner came to a house in the Downham road, at which he was at work, on Saturday last, and asked him what he (complainant) had been saying about him. The prisoner asked him if he said that he (prisoaer) had asked for work at Eburg's, and who, the prisoner said, was a " docu• ment" man. The prisoner is net a " document" man. Complainant told the prisoner that he had said nothing about him, and asked him to leave the building, but he refused to do so. The prisoner then gave him a blow in the face and cut his eye, but whether it was done with his fist or his hand he could not say. The prisoner was very violent and his langu2ge very abusive. The prisoner, in defence, said that the com plainant struck him first with a piece of board, and then he struck him. The complainant had told his (the prisoner's) master that he had asked for work at Ebury's, and that was the reason why he had gone to lihn. _ Mr. Corrie said that if this assault had been proved to his satisfaction to have arisen out of the strike, he should have passed a severer sentence than the one he intended to do. In this case he should order the defendant to pay a fine of 20s. and 10s. costs, or in default of payment three weeks' imprisonment. The money was not paid. LAMBETH.—ROBBERY AT THE CRYSTAL PA• LACE BY A SOLICITOR.-Mr. Thomas Johu Wheth grave, of M, College-place, Camden-town, solicitor, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of stealing from off one of the refreshment counters, at the Crystal Palace, a bottle containing half-a-pint of sherry, the property of Mr. Fredelick Strange. Eliza Allum deposed that she was in the service of Mr. Strange, and had charge of one of the re freshment stalls in the Crystal Palace. On the evening before; at about six o'clock, she was at her counter, when she obseved the prisoner looking at the wine placed on it, and having to turn round to get a bottle of stout, she immediately afterwards missed a 'half-pint bottle of sherry, and saw the prisoner in the act of moving a bottle of port to where it had stood. He then walked away, and witness called to ons of the waiters to follow him, as he had taken a half-pint bottle of sherry. The waiter followed as she desired, and brought back the prisoner and the wine. Henry Fisher, the waiter referred to, said he fol lowed the prisoner, who was hurrying away, and asked him if he had not a small bottle of sherry about him for which he had not paid, and he re plied he had not, but a gentleman present ex claimed, "Yes, he has it, waiter, and don't let him go." He then took the prisoner towards the re freshment counter, and on his reaching it, he pulled the half-pint bottle of sherry out of his pocket, saying, "Here it is; and I don't know how it got into my pocket." The prisoner refused to pay ls. into custody. the price of the w i ne , an d was t a k en custody. Sergeant Smith, 32 P, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he expressed his regret for what had happened, and hoped Mr. Strange would not press the charge. Mr. Elliott—Do you know anything about him P Sergeant Smith—Nothing, sir. He says he is a solicitor, and on him I found this book—" The Jockey's Pocket Manual," and I.s. 9d. in money. Mr. Elliott (to the prisoner)—You have heard the charge against you, what have you got to say to it ? Prisoner—l did take the bottle, but not with the intention of stealing it, and when charged with dis honesty I did not know what to say. My friends are persons of the highest respectability. My father is a magistrate, and the chairman of a board of guardians, and I trust you will deal considerately with the case, as a conviction would be my utter ruin. Mr. Elliott—You should have thought of this before. Persons guilty of such offences must take the consequences. I can make no distinction in your case, and shall therefore commit you to prison for one month. The prisoner, who is a young man of gentlemanly appearance and address, was accordingly sent to Wandsworth House of Correction. SOUTHWARK.--ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A FEMALE—Michael Turley, a powerful-looking man, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with at tempting to murder Elizabeth Barwick, aged 70, by striking her about the head and body, and throw ing her headforemost down a flight of stairs, thereby inflicting such serious injuries as to place her life in jeopardy. Thomas Smith, 72 M, said that between one and two o'clock that morning he wai on duty in the Bo rough-road, when he heard cries of " Murder," and " Police," proceed from Blnd-street. He imme diately went there, and saw a crowd round a female who was lying outside one of the houses, insensible and covered with blood. The prisoner was pointed out as the man who had inflicted the injuries on her, and before he could secure him the mob at tacked him (the prisoner) and punished him severely about the face. Witness procured assistance, and conveyed the injured woman to St. Thomas's Hos pital, when it was ascertained that her face was literally beaten in, and that 'she had received con cussion of the brain. Witness had seen her recently in the hospital, and she was still insensible. It was the opinion of Mr. Morden, the house surgeon, that she could not recover. Witness handed in a certifi cate from that gentleman, setting forth that she was in a very dangerous state. After he had secured the prisoner he returned to the house in Bond street, in which the female resided, and found the stove torn out and broken up, the chain and tables also broken, and blood scattered aboyit in all direc tions. Mr. Combe asked what the female vas. Witness said he believed she had a pension from the City, and he understood she had been living with the prisoner for some time. Mr. Combe inquired whether there was any one in court who witnessed the occurrence. Wm. Gee, a labourer, said he resided at No. 30, Bond-street, Borough •road, in the same house where the prisoner and the injured woman lodged. About one o'clock in the morning he heard them quarrel ling. After that the female screamed, and he heard the chairs and other things being thrown about. About a minute afterwards he saw the prisoner throw the old woman down the stairs, and she fell on her head. Witness went up to her, and he made sure she was dead, as she was quite insensible and her face was cut about and covered with blood. Mr. Combe (to the prisoner)—Have you anything to say to this witness ? Prisoner (doggedly)—No. It is no use saying anything as I was drunk. Mr. Edwin (chief clerk)—Do you know the seri ous position in which you stand ? Prisoner—Yes ; I know lam a blackguard. Mr. Edwin—Are you not aware that your life is in danger ? Should this woman die, you will be charged with murder. Prisoner—l know that; I cannot help it. Mr. Combe—You are remanded for a week ; and, should the woman die before, you will be brought up sooner. The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler. ROBBERIES AT COFFEE-HOUSES.—James Rey nolds was brought up for final examination, charged with stealing wearing apparal and other property from various coffee-houses in the district of this court. The facts of this case have already been published. The prisoner now pleaded guilty, and was sen tenced to six months' hard labour. Mr. Combe ordered all the property to be given up to the owners. HAMMERSMITH. THE CLIMBING BOY.= John Brooker, a master chimney-sweeper, of th e Royal-me ws , Notting.hill, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with violently assaulting Ewen Stromeyer, another chimney-sweeper, living in the Prince's-road, Gravel lane, Southwark. The evidence of the complainant's case went to show that his son, a youth, although small in stature, was 17 years of age, left his home about six months ago, without giving his father any clue as to his whereabouts. After searching for him, he traced him to the employ of the prisoner. On the previous night, he went to the Duke of Clarence, at Shepherd's-bush, where he saw his son, and gave his master a week's notice to deliver him up. Without any provocation, as he declared, the prisoner sprang at his neck and threw him outside the publichouse. He fell down and cut the back of his head severely. He wanted his son to lead a different sort of life, as he was not brought up to spending or losing his time as he was doing. His son ran away from home on account of his gambling with thieves. For the defence, the prisoner declared that the father was drunk, and that he first attacked him, and he merely pushed him away. Mr. Ingham—ls the son here? A sharp and cleanly-looking fellow here stepped into the box, and said—My name is Ewin Strome yer, and the complainant is my father. Mr. Ingham—Why didyou run away from home? Witness—My father was constantly ill-using me. Iran away before and went back to him, and he again commenced beating and ill-using me. I want to know whether he has any power of compelling me to go home ? 11Ir.'ingham—Is your father a sober man ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Ingham—ls your master a sober man ? Witness—He is, and has behaved very kindly to me. I have been with him five months, and he gives me 2s. a-week and my board and lodging. Mr. Ingham—What Makes your father so anxious for your return ? Witness—lt is because I can handle the machine better than any one about the neighbourhood. The complainant then called a younger son to prove the assault. The other son stepped forward again, and stated that his brother pulled out a knife, and said that as his master had drawn their father's blood, he would do so for him. Mr. Ingham (to the brother)—Did you draw a knife P The brother—l did. Mr. Ingham—For what purpose ? The brother--I took it out to protect my father, as I thought he might be robbed. (Laughter.) Mr. Ingham--I suppose your father likes his pipe and glass. Now, look at his face (the com plainant had an extremely red face and nose). Is it not so ? The brother (laughing).--y es , sir. Mr. Ingham—What character does the prisoner bear? Acres (one of the officers of the court)—l have known him for some time, and I never Leard any thing against him. He also appears to be a very sober man. Mr. Ingham then told the father he should ee cline delivering the boy up to him. If he wished to obtain possession of his son he must apply to the Court of Queen's Bench. He should not interfere. The prisoner was then discharged, and the boy left the court with his master. GREENWICH.—CAITTION TO APPRENTICES.— Charles Hilson, 5, Grove-street, Deptford, appren tice to Mr. F. J. Campbell, cooper, of Trinity-wharf, Rotherhithe, appeared to a summons b efore Mr. Traill, charging him with having unlawfully ab sented himself from hie master's employ. It appeared that Mr. Campbell at present had apprentices in his establishment, among whom a somewhat general rebellion appeared to prevail, although two-thirds of the wages earned were paid to them. On the 14th June last the defendant ab sented himself without notice, and continued absent until the present time. The defendant pleaded that he had been an out patient of the Middlesex Hospital, but admitted he had never called upon his master to explain his absence. Mr. Trail said there was no excuse whatever for defendant acting as he had done, and he should therefore order his commitment to Wandsworth gaol for 21 days. Mr. Campbell said he had no wish that the de fendant should be sent to prison if he would pro mise to behave himself and resume work. Mr. Trail said he would act upon the request of the master, but the warrant of commitment he should order to stand over, to be put in force if applied for. The defendant then left the court. THE MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY AT BIRMINGRAM: Mr. Inspector Manton, says the Birmingham Pest, has so far succeeded in unravelling the labyrinth of mysteries enshrouding the Dale-end tragedy as to warrant him in apprehending a man named Thomas Cooper, alias Warner, alias Warden, on the minor charge of attempting to murder the woman, Fanny Camavore, alias Bird, alias Perry, by cutting her throat. The prisoner, it seems, is by trade a slater. He is married, but has not lived with his wife for three or four years past. It ap pears, however, that he cohabited with the un happy woman whose throat he is charged with cutting, and has lived with her off and on ever since he deserted his wife. He was brought before Mr. Kinnersley, at the public office, and formally remanded. Inspector Manton hopes to produce sufficient evidence to justify a further remand, in order that the woman may be enabled to appear against him. Every exertion has been made to trace the mur derer of Dutton, but with what success it might defeat the ends of justice to state at present. Suf fice it, therefore, to say that no one yet has been apprehended. - The unfortunate woman at the hospital was pro gressing favourably last night. The inquest on the body of Dutton was opened at the Bell Inn, Dale-end, last night, before Dr. Dirt Davis and a highly respectable jury. Mr. T. W. Palmer, solicitor, appeared to watch he case on behalf of the relatives of the deceased. Mr. Inspector Manton was also in attendance. The.jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was adduced : Martha Rogers, residing at the back of 45, Bel mont-row, said—the deceased was my son, and having been born before my marriage, his name was not Rogers, but Samuel William Dutton. He was 24 years of age, and worked as a tube-dresser at Messrs. Ralph Heaton and Co's. works, in Bath street. I saw him last alive on this clay week. During the remainder of the week I was from home. Deceased was a sober steady man in his general habits. I never saw him intoxicated but twice in my life. The identity of the body being thus formally established, with a view to its interment, the war rant officer applied for an adjournment. The Coroner (addressing the jury)—Well, gen tlemen, you hear the application. I have no doubt it is founded on some good reasons, in which the administration of justice is concerned. Under these circumstances, I will adjourn the inquiry till Wednesday or Thursday next, as you may deem most advisable. It was agreed to adjourn till Wednesday after. noon.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—YtsTERDAY. Although the Cesarewitch Stakes' betting extends over a long list of horses' names, it from day to day displays very little novelty. Artless holds the position of first favourite with a firmness that gives confidence to her sup porters. Clydesdale is again looking healthy in the mar ket, and closed at 100 to 6, taken freely. Some rather stiffish investments have been made upon Marine, but 25 to 1 seems to be his lowest taking price at present. Heiress would be backed for money at 30 to 1. Offers are frequently made to take 1,000 to 25 about Moorcock, without a re sponse. Yorkshire Grey remains steady at 25 to 1 taken. Gaspard is very unsteady, and requires occasional support, or he would dOline into the outside division. North Lin coln is the only horse at present trusted with any weight of money—bar 20 to 1 offered on the field. In other re spects the following quotations will suffice CLOSING PRICES.

LIVERPOOL-OCT. 4. The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise are liberal of flour, oats, and oatmeal, but very light of other articles. From foreign ports we have received 1,940 qrs of wheat, 2,000 qrs of barley, 16,166 qrs Indian corn, and 1,311 sacks and 1,781 barrels of flour. From Canada 400 qrs of peas, and 247 barrels of flour. The exports since Tuesday also comprise 160 qrs wht,tt, 1,142 qrs of oats, 588 qrs Indian corn, 1,210 sacks and 553 barrels of flour. The weather has been exceedingly mild, with occasional heavy rain. There has been great firmness in the trade since Tuesday, and prices were pretty well supported in the business done. Our market this morning had a rather fair attendance of the town and country trade, and a rather fair sale was experienced for wheat, at an advance of 2d per cental, and flour a good sale at is per sack advance for fine quali ties. Oatmeal was neglected, and brought 6d per load less money'. Indian corn attracted more attention, and prices were fully as high. BRISTOL—Oct 4. At our market to-day there was a good attendance of the trade, and a little more inquiry for wheat, barley, and oats, at last week's prices. }kilns and peas is lower.
