Account, March 4 IVESTMINSTER P.LECTION PETITION. THIS DAY. This morning the hearing of the petition was resumed. Henry Holton, a hairdresser, residing in Mount-street, said he was a Conservative, and voted for Mr. Smith. Ho was employed as bill-sticker during the election. He also acted as an unpaid canvasser. He never spent a penny in treating voters with the view of influencing their votes. He spent money but of his own pocket when his brother canvassers were present, but be did not expect it to be re paid. The weekly sum paid for each board was fixed by Mr. 11. Edwards and himself. Ho never stipulated that the boards should be the condition for giving a vote. He paid Charles Wheeler £6 108. for making some of the boards. Wheeler charged £8 Gs., and witness kept tha difference as commission. Cross-examined by Mr. Stephen—lie paid 3s. for the making of each board. He never asked Wheeler what his charge would be He paid him £l3 195., and kept the difference. His lordship said it was a clear case of cheating. Thomas Walker, the landlord of the Merlin's Cave, South Molton-streot, said that at the meeting at which Mr. Smith was present he supplied champagne at his own expense. He always stuck to his colours, and would do so again. (Laughter.) In cross-examination by Mr. Stephen, he denied that Lo Lad told anybody that Mr. South would pay for the • champagne. Edward Davis, a gasfitter, residing in York-street, Westminster, was examined by Sergeant Hal!entitle—He ea id he was a vestryman, and a member of the London and Westminster Working Men's Constitutional Association. It was untrue that he had given a bribe to any voter in Westminster. He did not give ss. to a man named Holland. Ho canvassed Holland, who asked him if he would get a day's wages. Some time after wit ness was told that Holland had not been six months in his lodgings, and that he had no vote. lie mentioned the fact to Holland, who seemed greatly annoyed, and bet witness ss. that ho had been more than six mouths in his lodgings. The insinuation that the het was a cloak to paying Holland a day's wages was totally unfounded. The witness was then questioned with reference to the statement of 'Waterman, superin tendent of labour at the workhouse, that he offered him .£5 if he voted for Smith, and also treated him to a glass of ale. He gave an unqualified denial to the statement, and characterised it as an abominable falsehood. LA IV INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. SAURIN V. STARR. The further hearing of this case was resumed this morn ing. There is no probability of the verdict being given before Tuesday night. POLICE iNTELLIGEACE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING BURGLARY AND ItonllEux.--John Alger, alias Kerr, a well-known thief, was brought up on remand be fore Mr. Benson, charged with feloniously lleaking and entering the premises of Thomas Kirkaldy, manufacturer, Wapping, and stalling 3 cwt. of tallow therefrom. On the night of the 3d August last the prisoner and another man named Cumming were observed loitering about Mr. Kir kaldy's premises. They could g:ve no satisfatory reason for being there, and were taken into custody by Slingsby, 394 K ; but Alger made his escape, and was at large until the 11th inst.

The Luxemburg railway uproar was too violent to last long, and there is much likelihood that the furyof journal istic rage, having spent itself upon a silent adversary, will die out. It has been well kept up for the time. All shades of opinion joined in the assault ; Imperial, Legitimist, and Liberal papers alike vented their wrath upon the meek head of Belgium, but the storm Is subsiding. The Opposi tion papers, headed by the indefatigable Liberte, keep up the excitement, but the Government journals betray an in clination to withdraw from the strife. It is evident, however, that the Government was greatly annoyed at this measure, or otherwise the official and semi-official prints would not have been let loose upon it so unanimously. Nor is this manifestation of feeling greatly to be wondered at. It is true that the Belgian Government is justified in bringing forward such a bill: it is natural that it should grow alarmed at foreign railway companies farming so much of the iron roads of its little territory. Equally true is it that the principle is one upon which other Governments would be ready to act. France, for instance, would be very unlikely to allow a railway to be farmed by a Prussian company. But, on the other hand, it must be remembered that nations do not always act upon logical principles. It i s na t ura l th a t people here should be indignant, for the railway bill is but one of a long series of rebuffs which France experiences in every quarter. It is with profound morti fication that Frenchmen witness their nation baffled in all, e ve n the smallest, d e t a i ls of foreign policy. Moreover they can not get rid o f the idea that Prussia is at the bottom of the affair. The North German Gazette assures them that such is not the case, but the Gazette is hated and disbelieved in Paris. It has been amongst the foremost of the Prussian papers in their recent attacks upon France. The feeling against Prussia is undoubtedly reviving. It is even affirmed that M. de Girardin, ever foremost with his everlasting Rhine frontier question, is endeavourin g to bring about a union of all the chief Paris papers for a grand and joint attack upon Prussia. The German Power has withstood so much abuse already that it must now be well prepared for any thing. But, with the elections in view, it is likely that the French Government will seek to produce quiet rather than irritation. There o is People an d t i h t e o r f d s e : pmaetcimportance in circula tion. the French Government, again ca lli ng attention in the most courteous terms to the Hanoverian refugees. The e Peota e l t l i C e o r f on an report needs confirmation, but I am p os i t i vely informed that great surveillance is exercised at Strasbourg. Every passenger between Germany and France is carefully watched. A serious disagreement exists between Marshal Niel and the budget committee. Over a small matter—the indemnity allowed to captains of the Guard Mobile—the War Minister and the committee have quarrelled to such purpose that reconciliation respecting other and more important items of war expenditure is hardly probable. M. Jablonski, French Consul at Zanzibar, has just died there. He was a well-known Polish refugee. At the age of 18 he joined the Hungarian Revolution, and after taking part in several battles he was captured by the Russians. He was then compelled to serve as a privato in the Russian army, in which position he remained until the Crimean war. When the allies arrived before Sebastopol, he went over to the French. and was employed on the French staff as a translator. After the war he got his consulship, and remained on the African coast during the remaining eleven years of his life. Such is the fortune of politics. M. Jablonski was one of the ablest men that Poland has lately produced, and yet he was destined to end his days on the shores of Africa. THE WEA7'ILER TABLE-THIS -DAY' ---- _o " -`" CON; Lit g 17, ' not naturally. The Solicitor-Cencral : By an effort of nature? Witness : I don't say that. There was no shade of difference in my feelings towards her. Miss Saurin could not teach. All my efforts to instruct her in the method of teaching were useless. She did not teach the alphabet. The Solicitor-General : Then she was incorrigible? The Lord Chief Justice complained of the word "incorrigible " being put to the witness. The Solicitor-General : Then I will withdraw it. Witness : Incorrigible is too strong a word. She did not seem to take advantage of my instruction as others had done. The children who did not wish to learn tried to get into her class, but I would not let them. I was never at Clifford with Miss Saurin. • I don't mean to say when Miss Saurin met the twenty or thirty children who brought very nice dinners, that she took so many dinners daily. She used to look at them ; she knew what the children had, and I infer from the complaints that were made that she selected those 'dinners to take from which she considered the best. I suppose she did a little private refection after I had left the school-room. In 1865, Mrs. O'Brien had sent to say Miss Saurin had taken her child's dinner, and eaten it, and that she should take him away from the school. I promised it should not occur again, and I took the child under my care. The O'Brieus and the servant have left Hull. That is the only name I can particularise. I mentioned the circumstance to Mrs. Starr, but not to Miss Saurin ; but I took his dinners more than once from Miss Saurin and gave it to the child. I was placed over her in the school, because I was a certificated teacher. I think Miss Saurin's mark at one time was three nails and a cross. I knew my hand kerchief without the mark. Miss Saurin was under no re. straint. She had a sister with her. The Lord Chief Justice : She was at perfect liberty to go where she pleased with the sister. The Solicitor -General : I opened the case as not that the plaintiff could not get out, but that she whated to remain n. The Lord Chief Justice : But when you tell her to walk out and she will not, I don't thi n k th at i s false imprison ment. The plaintiff could have gone out as soon as she liked, but she would not ; and the having a person to watch her is not false imprisonment. I shall hold that the moral restraint in this case was not false imprisonment. The plaintiff has first to slim that she bad any right to be in the convent at all at this particular time. Mr. Mellish : I shall submit she had no right to be there. The Lord Chief Justice : The case is stronger when there is a visitor who has the right to remove and who exercises that power. Mr. Mellish : That will be another question. It is important with regard to the commission. If the rule of law is that the plaintiff had no right in the convent, and that the visitor exercised his authority, then it is a question for the Court of Chancery, and not for a court of law. It is a pure matter of trust. The Lord Chief Justice: I am desirous of hearing the whole of the evidence, and of reserv i ng any questions of law that mi g ht arise. There are s o m e difficult and com plicated questions behind. The plaintiff's great point in the case is the conspiracy, and that di v id es i n t o two branches. Fi r st, did t h e defendants conspire by illtreatment to drive the plaintiff out of the convent, and, secondly, having so conspired, did they make false accusations to in duce the bishop to expel her? Toprove the second branch it is necessary to go into the evidence laid before the bishop and the commission. I entertain the clearest view that if their statement to the bishop was honestly made, they are not responsible for the miscarriage of the commission. If, honestly, though injudiciously made, they are not liable or the conduct of the commission. Witness was further cross-examined on the numerous facts and circumstances in the case, but nothing material was elicited. She said she should have been glad to have wished the plantiff good-bye. The Lord Chief justice : That seems to have been the general feeling of the community. Witness : Yes it wa s . (Laughter). Mrs. Elizabeth Hewitson (lay sister), said: After Sister Mary Catherine's death, I and the plaintiff were ordered to prepare her body for burial. They are buried in the habit as they receive it at the time of their reception. I got, at Miss Saurin's request, a better one out, and, as she desired, I took out one of the inside sleeves, whilst she took o u t th e o th e r, to put on the deceased sister. I think she put them on the deceased, but I afterwards saw her take them off, and !apt with other clothing apparel that belonged to Sister Mary Catherine. A short time before the coffin was screwed down the coffin at this time was in the • chapel—Miss Saurin took off the out side sleeves and gave them to me, telling me at the same time to put them out of sight behind the stalls in the chapel. I afterwards saw Miss Saurin wear the sleeves, and six months later I saw them in her cell. On such occasions a church cloak, which is very large, is put over the deceased, and Miss Saurin drew it over the body of the deceased so that it could not be seen. The night when Sister Mary Catherine died, . Miss Saurin told me to get some coifs and guimps, intending to put one on each of the deceased. I bought her three of the first and four of the latter. I was going to put the remainder away, but Miss Saurin said, " Leave them there, and I will wear them out." afterwards collected the deceased's clothing, but very little remained. When plaintiff went hurriedly to Hull I found between her mattress and• the bed a pocket handkerchief, night veil, and coif, which I recog n i se d as part of Sister Mary Catherine's wearing apparel. About a month after I saw her wearing a pair of shoes and stock ings that also belonged to the deceased sister. The Lord Chief Justice : As I understand you, a nun is buried in her full canonical dress. Witness : Yes ,• a few days before her d ea th s h e asked me to sew on a silver devotional medal on her scapulas, as she wished it and the scapulas to be buried with her. I put the ribbon on her neck whilst she was still a li ve, and placed the scapulas arid medal on he r b reast. When in her coffin I looked for awn, but found the medal was gone. It could not have dropped off. I could see it was cut off. Miss Saurin and myself were the only persons who had anything to do with the deceased, . I did not take the silver medal. This occurred at Hull, The Solicitor-General: Your lordehip will remember that not a word of this was put to Miss Saurin, except as to the medal. Witness: I don't know if Miss Saurin had a silver medal of her own, but on her return to Hull in 1860 Miss Saurin asked me if I had found a silver medal which she lost when she left Bull for Clifford. In 1863 I was sent to Miss Saurin, who was in her cell at Clifford, with water to bathe her feet. I noticed round her heal a piece of flannel, of very fine texture, similar to Sister Mary o.ttherine's petticoatsi. She had finer flannel than any other sister in the convent. In that year I asked the I ,er m ission of the superior .' at Clifford to mend my habit with some pieces of black material that were in the attic. She did so in Miss Saurin's presence. On the following morning she went there. I knew it was the plaintiff by the way she ran down stairs. She usually ran down stairs more hurriedly than the others. In the course of the morning, and before the sisters had come back from sthool, I went up for the pieces of black material, but I found they were gone. After the commission, but before the plaintiff left, I was rippin g Mi ss S aur i n ' s h a bit, a nd in it I found what I believed to be the black woollen material I required. They were sown in the habit, where It was unnecessary to repair a hole. Evidence the effect was gives till the close of the On the resumption yesterday of the case of "Saurin v. Starr and Kennedy," Mrs. Milligan's examination in chief was continued by Mr. C. Russell. She said : After the plaintiff was expelled there were no complaints what ever about the children's dinners. One day in 1805 I saw Miss Saurin attempt to pull the strings out of her coif, and, failing to do so, she cut them out. She denied it when Mrs. Kennedy reproved her for it. At one of the redistri butions of clothes Miss Saurin had a petticoat with six layers of material ; enough had been used to make three petticoats—the outer covering was of very fine mate rial—the layers were not necessary to cover the holes in the garment. .It was taken to pieces, and I got one petti coat out of it, and material was left fur other purposes. She took articles of mine without leave. She had a pocket handkerchief of mine, from which had been taken the " three nails" worked on it in silk. Miss Saurin's penances were not unusual. I have frequently had to wear things on my head. It was a general penance for not marking things sent to the wash to be worn during spiritual lecture. I have frequently had to hold my boots and cloak in my hand, at the end of the community table, for leaving them about. Mrs. Starr never asked me to divulge my confessions. I was a great deal with Miss Saurin after her sentence of expulsion. I was with her from the 12th February until the end of March. I had sprained my knee, and it only required rest and cold water applications. There were no sisters with her with bad legs, who used linaments. There were none there, and no linaments. There was no offensive smell, and the windows of the room were always opened when she went to mass, and frequently at other times. It is untrue that she was not permitted to leave her room for any purpose. She left it on an average ten times a' day. There were chairs within her reach in the bath-room, for sitting on. One she kept her books on, and she seemed to prefer sitting on the floor. She sometimes sat on the chairs, and then she sat with her feet on them, as if she were sitting on the floor. She sometimes sat on her bed. I never prohibited her from sitting on the chair. No instructions of that kind were given to me. After the order of dismissal, she appeared to try to make herself ill. She sat up in bed with only her night-dress on, and at other times she got out of bed early and put her feet into cold water. She abstained from food. It was not always mutton, but generally so. The boots described by Miss Saurin as being badly broken are in existence now, and in use, I believe, by Mrs. King. Miss Saurin complained that vermin was in the blanket in the attic. I examined the sheets and blankets very care fully, but there was no sign of any such thing about them. She said she bad been given the blankets of the pupil teachers on which they had combed their hair ; but it was untrue. I took her bedclothes up from the bath-room, and I had also the charge of the pupil-teachers',bedclothes. They could not have been carried up without my know ledge. She had every facility for washing —soap, nail brush, tooth-brush, tooth-brush mug, water, &c. I fre quently saw her use them. Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General: Miss Saurin was a great cloud upon us. I never had the slightest ill feeling for Miss Saurin. I liked her, but she was not an amiable person. I liked her for the love of God. The Solicitor-General : In the way a Christian loves his enemies? Witness : I don't say that. I had not naturally such an affection for her as for Mrs. Starr. I liked her. The Solicitor-General : As a matter of duty ? Witness : I liked her as much as I liked the others, but ,STIARE LIST. onDINAKY A,,iD STOCKS. rti.re itailwaye.

The decrease in pre ssure of yesterday appears to h ave moved in a a slight rise in the N. and W. The reading at Rochefort is now 0.53 in. higher than that at Nairn, The report from Biarritz to-day chews that there was an error in that sent yesterday. Temperature has decreased somewhat, except in Ekootland and at Rochefort. The gales in the west have gone down, and the wind has veered. Light W. to S.W. breezes are now general, but at Valencia the wind has veered to N.N.W. Rain has fallen on our S. coasts. The sky is cloudy or overcast this morning. The sea is moderate. Drums lowered all round the coast. AfELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-SIX‘ MEN DROWNED. A very sad accident has occurred to a boat's crew con nected with the Calf Rock Lighthouse, near Dursey Island, on the coast of Ireland. It appears that Mr. Thomas O'Reilly, the head lightkeeper, and three other men, had been at the lighthouse for the past :month. On the day named ho signalled to the main land for the lightkeeper ou shore (Richard Howard) to relieve him. Howard at once assembled the boat's crew (six men) and proceeded with them to the Calf Rock, but on arriving there found it impossible to land, in conse quence of the heavy sea. However, he was able to exchange mail bags, and, after remaining for about twenty minutes, left without the slightest apprehen sion of danger. The poor fellows gave their comrades on the rock ono parting cheer, and then pulled for the main land, which they were destined never to reach: All appears to have gone on well with them till within about a mile of Dursey Island, when the entire crew were seen to have lost their oars. When the boat got amongst the breakers, Mr. O'Reilly instantly hoisted the signal 11.,g ou the lighthouse, in the hope of attracting the notice of the peopl e on Dursey but unfortunately without effe3t. For upwards of au Lour the boat was seen drifting with the tide. A sudden shower obscured the view for about half an hour, and then it was discovered that the b , at was floating bottom upwards. Of course every soul in the boat has been drowned. The whole party were married men, most of them with large families depending solely on them for support, and one poor fellow had only been married a few days. The offertories at St. Andrews, Wells -street, Lon don, during 18G8 were no less than .£6,665. New writs for Wexford, Drogheda, Bradford, aucl Westbury will be moved to-morrow. z1;fo - Ali ja ti 0 , • v ..„.0 ill -Pi /y ou 4.) HER MAJESTY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE ADDRESS. A motion similar to that made by Mr. Gladstone for the two houses to present their answers to her Majesty's speech was made in their lordships' house by Earl Gran ville, which was agreed to. The Earl of HAIDWIaKE moved for return of money raised in England and Wales by the magistrates in qu ir ter sessions in the year 1868, showing various particulars. The return was ordered.

A now w r it was ordered to WRIT issue for New Radnor, in the room of Mr. Price, who had accepted the stewardship of one of her Majebty's manors. - THE ADDRESS. Mr. MUNDELLA brought up the report of the com mittee appointed to draw up the address of the house to her Majesty, in answer to her Royal Speech on the open ing of Parliament. The address, which was read, was merely an echo of the Queen's Speech. Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the Address be pre seuted to her Maj:sty by the whole house. It was matter of regret to her Majesty that her health prevented her opening Parliament iu person, but on that particular , day her Majesty was suffering more thin usual from severe headache, and thus she was precluded from meet ing the two houses. In the event of this house and the ether branch of the Legislature adopting the course he pro posed her Majesty would seine to Loudon from Wind or to receive the addresses of both houses in person, and thus she would experience the pleasure of inciting the new Parliament which had been elected nailer the impor tant act for the extension of the elective fran chise. There were precedents for the course he pro . posed, one of the most important being on the house congratulating the Sovereign on the victory gained at Trafalgar, and thus if his motion was agreed to her Majesty would have the satisfaction of meeting the new Parliament which had been elected under the great mea sure passed by the house for the extension of the repre sentation of the people. Mr. DISRAELI said he had not the slightest intention of offering any opposition to the motion of the right hen. gentleman, and ho hoped the house would so agree to the proposition, that there would be no misapprehension on any future occasion as to the course the house had adopted in the matter.
