WORSHIP-SThEET. —Charles Stuart, a police man of the N division, was charged with stealing a pewter pot from the Nightingale public-house, Hackney-road. The prisoner came to the bar and called for half a pint of porter. Directly after, while the barmaid was serving another customer, he puffed some smoke into her face from a pipe which he had in his mouth, blinding her, and causing her to turn away. When she looked round he was gone, and a pewter pot was missing, Ho was pursued, but not overtaken. A few days afterwards he came again, and asked the barmaid if he had ever been at the house before ? On her replying that he had been there twice, and that a pewter pot had been missed on each occasion, he became very abusive. He was then given into custody. Sergeant Townsend stated that the prisoner had been many years in the force, and had always borne a good character, but had been lately in valided in consequence of injuries the head received in the course of his duty, and was subject at times to mental aberration. The magistrate said that the plea of insanity must be decided on by a jury, and committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER.—Mrs. Hessing, the proprie tress of the Two G3airmeu, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, was summoned for unlawfully suf fering gaming in her house. Sergeant Beckley, 17 B, said that at half-past 12 on the night of the 24th of February he was passing defendant's house, when he heard persons talking within, and the rattling of money. He then heard a man say, "I won a sovereign of you ; I will toss you to see whether it is two or nothing." The house was shut up, but witness stood on the ledge of the shutters, and looking through the window saw seven or eight men in front of the bar. One of them shook up money in his hands, and put it on the counter the gas had been turned off, and this was done by the light of a candle upon the counter. After the money was put down Mrs. "leasing said, " There is a policeman looking at you ;" and witness then observed, " I can see what you are at." Witness then went into the house, when Mra. Hessing said they were tossing for brandy, and those present confirmed her account. In cross-examination by Mr. Childe, the solicitor for theLicensedVictuallers' Society, witness admitted that all the persons in the house were respectable neighbours, and that business was apparently over, all the lights being out. He was in the street, and the house door was shut when he heard about the sovereign, and then he climbed up on the shutter to look in. _ _ Another policeman having corr3boraLed com plainant's testimony, Mr. Childe said that Mr. Kessing, who died 11 months ago, was a highly respectable man, and had kept the house for 17 years years without any com plaint. Mrs. Kessing, who continued the business with the same propriety, induced her customers as usual to leave the parlour at 12 o'clock on the night in questian, extinguished the gas, and lighted her bedroom candle, when the customers who were in front of the bar said they should like a drop of brandy, and began tossing for it. She said sbe could not allow tossing, but they insisted upon doing it. She used as much influence a. 4 she rea sonably could to prevent it, and surely she was not He t s u o b b m e i r t e t n e dd thereat a t h m i s e n w a a s b l e a forve very the h d e i fr ac e t r s en o t f o cas th e er t d o .

Business this day 103 94 3 3 1371 8 100 91 THE RE-ELECTIONS. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.-RETURN OF MR. ADDERLEY. The re-election of the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley., whose seat had been forfeited by his acceptance of the office of President of the Council of Education, took place yesterday, at Stafford. The hon. gentleman arrived at Stafford by the 10 o'clock train, and a carriage and four awaiting him at the railway station, he was conveyed to the Crown Court, at the County Hall, where the Under Sheriff (Mr. Hand) and some half-dozen of the county gentry awaited him. In the body of the ball there were not more than 20 :r 30 p-,rsonz:, r.,..l,Nithstal - ding that it w the com mission day for the assizes, so little interest did the election proceedings excite. Hs GO METNELL INGRA}t, Esq., of Hoare-cross, i❑ a few brief sentences, placed Mr. Adderley in nomina tion as a fit and proper person to represent the division in Parliament. Viscount INGESTRE, M.P., seconded the nomination. No other candidate having been proposed, the Under Sheriff declared Mr. Adderley duly elected. Mr. ADDERLEY then proceeded to return thanks. In doing so, he observed that, although the assembly was on that occasion a limited one, yet he was desirous of referring briefly to she circumstances under which he had had the honour of being re-elected as their repre sentative in Parliament. When he last stood before thorn for re-election he had been found fault with by some of his old supporters for the part he had taken in the vote censuring Lord Palmerston for the mode in which he had vindicated the honour of England by chas tising the Chinese. (Hear.) He was now amongst them in conseqnence of another vote of censure on the noble lord, for letting down the honour of England in the estimation of foreign powers, and at the suggestion of a power with whom we were in alliance. He himself firmly believed that the large majority of the English people sympathised with both those votes which he had given, and would condemn the rough tyranny of a great nation over a barbarous people on the one hand, and the mean timidity displayed by a great power in correspon dence with an equal power on the other. (Hear.) Of this he was quite certain—France herself was far too chivalrous to entertain any respect for a friendship sought to be maintained at the sacrifice of honour. (Hear.) He hoped that there was not a man in Stafford. shire whose blood did not boil, as his own did, when he read the menace held out by the French Minister to wards this country, and when he saw the English Mini ster ready to truckle to it, and seeking to soften it merely by private explanation. Let them, as Stafford shire men, observe all those gentlemen of the county who were foremost to rally round the late Premier with the cry of " Palmerston and the honour of England," on the occasion of the last election ; he alluded especialy to the movers of his opponent on that occasion, Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Bass, and to many others— who had now been, as they foretold they would, the first to forsake Lord Palmerston when they found that the honour of England lay in another direction. (Hear, hear.) As to France, she had already shown that she in no way depreciated the feeling of this country, and the expressions that had been made use of since the fall of Lord Palmerston. They might depend upon it that the friendship between the two countries would be none the weaker by being maintained with honour on both sides. We should be doubly anxious to acquit ourselves of any possible abuse, by foreign assassins, of our na tional asylum, and France would have double confidence in the integrity of an ally who bad •not been afraid to show its sensitiveness to its own honour. (Hear.) It was the noble apology made by the Emperor of the French which induced him as well as others to vote for the introduction of the Conspiracy Bill. The vote of censure which had been passed on Lord Palmerston would in no way interfere with the progress of that bill. But now they had justly censured the late prime minis ter, he hoped they should meet the apology of the Em peror of the French in a similar noble spirit, and that they should be enabled calmly and fully to deal with the conspiracy laws. (Rear, hear.) Now it had been said that the conservative party had shown great folly by their eagerness to depose Lord Palmerston, and that if they had waited a few days longer there was a worse fall before him inevitable. Now, as to that, it was clear this occasion was not sought, nor even expected, and still less wished for by the Conservative party • but when the vote was proposed—a vote of censure for conduot which they had already censured—it could not be ex pected that they should stultify their previously expressed opinion, or that they should move the previous question, and so get rid of the matter, for such a motion would have been fatal to the measure. (Hear, hear.) He would next state very shortly his own vie we on the two great questions now before parliament. In the first place with regard to the India reform, he should personally have no occasion to alter his course. He voted for the introduction of the bill of the late govern. merit, intending to support certain amendments in committee as to the construction of the council;; and he should therefore have to continue precisely the same course. It was quite clear to him that the whole of that question had been greatly misunderstood. The celebrated petition of the company was a tissue of fallacies, and the misrepresentations of the opponents of the bill showed how grievously the opposition had been conducted. It was represented as effecting a total revolution of the government of India ; whereas it amounted to nothing more than a complement or completion of legislation since the year 1774: Every measure passed since that period had gradually done away, fits: with the commer cial, and secondly with the political monopoly of the company—ha thrown open the commerce of the coun try to the world, placing the government under the con trol of the Crown. Tais measure, therefore, was simply the completion of what had already been begon. In future, let theta bear in mind that the government of India must almost entirely be conducted, not in Down ing -street, nor in Leadenhall-street, nor yet in Cannon. row, but in Calcutta. (Hear.) The right hon. gentle man, in connexion with this subject, referred to the importance of all questions requiring decisive and prompt answers being settled on the spot, instead of being referred to the complicated tribunal of a double 'office between the two ends of London. The two grand desiderata in connexion with the future administration. of the affairs of India were a special training for the military service of India, and open promotion, securing the patronage of India from home jobbery. (Hoar.) With regard to the other great question of the day, that of a new measure of reform, he might state as his own firm conviction that the promise of a political reform bill was far more real coming from Lord Derby than it was from the late Government. (Hear.) He had himself come to the conclusion that it was a political juggle between Lord Palmerston and Lord J. Russell who made promises not to be fulfilled—who were like two thine blare, each anxious to make the country believe the pea was under his thimble, in the .hope that the country would take one of o:tein up. (Laughter.) But Lord Derby gavo them a distinct promise that nextyeara bill would be introduced which would prove to be more real and valid. For himself he (Mr. Adderley) could only repeat as his own general principles on this subject what he had told them before. He conceived that in a free courtry like this admission to the franchise ought to be the rule, and exclusion the exception, and as property and intelligence spread, the possession of the political franchise should spread, pari paean. It was said that Lord Derby was not likely to introduce such a measure as the " true reformers," as they were called, would• have brought forward. Now he had a distrust of the so-called class of reformers ; they were mere theorists as politicians. They were men who were ready to square the institu tions of the country with their own theory of what was right, and they were prepared with a model of their own —namely, America, by which they would by a very royal process of their own square them. He bad little confidence in those who recently met in London, the leader of whom expressed his opiu:on that the represen tation of this couniry should be in exact proportion to the population, however distributed. Why, this would give to Leedon one-tenth of the representation, and would exclude Scotland altogether from even " entering an appearance," as lawyers termed it, at all. (R ear .) He (alr. Adderley) had much more faith in men who had a share of sympathy with the question, men whose opinions were net likely to be abstractedly perfect, per haps, but much more acceptable to the country. (Hear.) Having now disposed of all he had to say to them on political matters, he would conclude by expressing kis own gratification that he, their old servant of 17 years, had been honoured by promotion in station, and he must say that the office Lord Derby had been kind enough to place him in was, at all events, the one which he felt least unfit to undertake. When, however, he came to give an aocount of what he had done in that office, he might, he trusted, be able to show that he had neither neglected or abused the trust. Mr. Adderley resumed his, seat amidst prolonged ap plause. A. vote of /thanks to the under-sheriff concluded the business of the election. NORTH LEICESTERSHIRE. RETURN OF LORD JOHN MANNERS. The re-election of Lord John Manners, after his aoceptance of the office of Chief Commissioner of Public Works, took place before the Tows,-gall, Loughborough, yesterday. Tkere was not a very large attendance of farmers, although the county gentry and the non-electors were well represented. Sir G. BEAUMONT, Bart., proposed, and Sir G. J. PALMER, Bart., seconded, Lord John Manners. Mr. C. H. FREWEN then, as a freeholder of the county, begged the opportunity of saying a few words' explanatory of his motive for retiring from the contest. Upon hearing that Lord J. Manners had accepted a seas in the Go vernment he issued his address, and communicated with numerous friends who had supported him on a former occasion. From many of these he received answers recommending him not to persevere in the contest on the present occasion, and in deference to that feeling he deemed it his duty to withdraw, though he disclaimed that he ever had any idea of opposing Lord Derby's Government in stepping forward to eppose the noble lord who had accepted a subordinate office in that Government. Respecting reform, he would observe that Lord John Russell had brought in a new reform bill, which was withdrawn ; Lord Palmerston bad pro mised a reform bid, but was turned out before he fulfilled his promise ; and now Lord Dzby promised that it was a matter which sh,uld receive attention. He believed that there were members of the present Government who were quite prepared to give this question a fair and liberal consideration. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Disraeli, for one, and Lord Stanley, for another. The feeling of the country was such that it was utterly impossible for any Government to resist a new reform bill. (Applause.) H e thought it was only a fair and reasonable course that they should give the new Government a fair trial. H e advocated that in any measure of reform which was introduced, they sheuid go beck to the old plan of not dividing the counties. In the new plan some divisions of counties were thrown entirely into the hands of members of aristocratic houses. Rev. E. STzvENBQN, a Baptist minister, ask e d Lord Jehn Manners to tell those assembled whether, in his opinion, the Sabbath day should be turned into a con tinental sabbath ? (Groans and uproar.) Also, what he thought in reference to the long-vexed subject of church rates. He wished further to know the opinion of the noble lord in reference to reform. There was no reason in the world why the county people should not be placed on the same footing as the boroughs were ; and he did not see any reason that small nomination boroughs, with from 150 to 250 voters should return one or two mem bers to Parliament, while Loughborough, with a popu lation 12,000, did not return a single representative. Lord JOHN MANNERS stepped forward to address the electors, and was received with loud applause by his sup porters, and with groaning and other marks of dis• approbation by the great bulk of tlot aspem blage. He said be had no wish to make a lengthened address in the present severe state of the weather, which they all suffered from. LNor was it necessary, as he had been before them three times in the course of twelve months. But he returned his grateful thanks to those numerous friends who had at once promised him their support so cordially and generously—also to those op ponents who had given Mr. Frewin such judicious counsel in recommending him to withdraw from what, in Parliamentary language, he must term a " frivolous and vexatious opposition ;" and lastly, to Mr. Frewen, who he hoped, if he should contest the county on a future occasion, would manifest the same good humour that he had done to-day. He believed he had done nothing to forfeit the confidence of the electors. At the close of the last session of Parliament, he was so struck with the manner in which Lord Palmerston had conducted public business, that he felt it to be his duty to raise his voice against the noble lord, and he was assured that the feelings he then expressed were shared by many mem bers on both sides the house. When Parliament met this session it was impossible not to see that many of his supporters were heartily sick of the allegiance they had so rashly vowed to him and were pre. pared on the first opportunity to renounce it. Shortly after the meeting of Parliament there was laid on the table of the House of Commons that famous despatch of Count Walewski, which proclaimed to all Europe that the laws of England favoured assassination. He doubted whether that was the intention of the writer of that despatch. Then came the Conspiracy Bill, on which the feeling of the house was so strong that many leading Liberals, including even Lord John Russell, voted against the introduction of the bill. The Conser vative party, though equally sensitive with Lord John Russell, about the maintenance of the national honour, did not however vote against the introduction of the bill, partly out of deference to her Majesty's Government and partly to evince their abhorrence of the crime of assassination. But, in the debate which then took place, fair warning was given to the ministry that the people of England expected that calumnious despatch to be answered. That warning, however, was in vain, and after ten days had elapsed, during which the despatch was unanswered, the bill came on for the second reading. Mr. M, Gibson then introduced his famous amendment, respecting which his friend Mr. Henley bad observed nothing could be more moderate or more true. That amendment was carried in a full house by a majority of 19 ; the very same number which, in 1852, displaced Lord Derby's government, and made way for Lord Pal merston. Lord Derby then took office which was abso lutely thrust upon him, and he did so sincerely desirous of maintaining the dignity of the crown and the real happiness of the people. While doing so, Lord Derby would strive to prevent, as far as human means could prevent so great a calamity, the interruption of our friendly relations with France. There was a trial now pending in this country of one of the conspirators against the life of the Emperor of the French. When that trial was brought to a conclusion they would then be in a position to know whether the laws of England in relit• tion to that matter required any alteration. At present the balance of high legal opinion was in favour of the laws as they stood, and until this trial was over it would be indecorous to legislate on a matter which they might find required no legis lation. One of the most important questions of the present moment was the future government of India, Although he had be en one of those who thought that until the mutiny was subdued, legislation ehould not be undertaken, yet the majority in favour of it had decided that question, and a measure was now under the consi deration of that marh to whom they must and did look for guidance on all matters relating to India, Lord Ellenborough, who was devoting his great statesmanlike qualities and thorough knowledge of India to the solution of one of the greatest legislative problems of this or any other day. With regard to reform, he had no doubt that many persons were without the franchise who might be advantageously entrusted with it. He had no doubt, also, that the counties had not their fair share of representation. As a tory, he was not con cerned to defend the bill of 1832, and he sax no reason why, when other more pressing questions were disposed of, he might not combine with his colleagues to con sider this add similar measures, and see if they could not devise a measure which, while it maintained the equilibrium of the different elements in the constitution, would rectify proved abuses, and impart additional stability to those great and time-honoured institutions which had rendered England the safe and almost the sole abode of tempered liberty and self sustained order. With regard, however, to the ballot, he would never be a party to a measure which would prevent the people of England from giving an open and above-board expression to their opinions, whatever they might be. He had been asked about Sunday bands. He had not had much time to consider that subject, but he thought the arrangements established last year in the London parks by his predecessor, Sir B. Hall, might be allowed to continue as they were, On the subject of church-rates, to say as Mr. Stevenson did that they were an imposed tax was most erroneous. They were a responsibility resting upon all property in England, whether acquired by purchase or descent. It was said that church-rates were a conscientious grievance. He asked to whose consciences Not to those of churchmen certainly ; and admitting that every dissenter in England felt them to be a grievance, the natural solution was that they should be exempt from payment. Yet this bad been proposed over and over again in the .House of Commons, and had been invariably repudiated by dissenters f What the dissenters wanted was the entire abolition o church-rates, which was monstrously absurd, and ridicu lously unjust. If, however, any scheme were proposed which would save the aggrieved consciences of dissenters, and at the same time adequately secure the maintenance of the fabrics devoted to the national religion, he would give to such a measure his most careful and dispassionate consideration. He begged, in conclusion, to thank them for the manner in which they had listened to him, and assured them he had taken office under Lord Derby with a sincere desire to assist him in the great duties which devolved upon him. He now accepted the trust which he hoped they were again about to confer upon him, in the hope of maintaining, either as a minister or a simple member of Parliament, the principles of genuine and rational toryisin which he had always professed, and to maintain which they were about, he hoped, again to return him to Parliament. No other candidate was proposed, and the high sheriff declared Lord John Manners duly elected. Then a vote of thanks to the high sheriff, duly proposed and seconded, terminated the proceeding. DURHAM.-THE JUDGE-ADVOCATE, DURHAM, MARCH 8. Mr. J. R. Mowbray, M.P. for this city, having accepted the office of Judge Advocate under Lord Derby's Government, has this morning issued his address to the electors. He says : " I have received most unexpectedly from the Earl of Derby the offer of a high and responsible office under the Crown, and I have accepted that offer. . . . Although not instrumental in the overthrow of the Government of Lord Palmerston, I have not hesitated to respond to the appeal of Lord Derby, because I think he is fairly entitled to call upon Conservatives of every shade to rally round him at the present crisis, and because I believe he is pre pared to uphold the honour of the country by a firm yet conciliatory foreign policy, and is sincerely anxious to pro mote all those measures of legal reform and of social and political progress which are called for by the increasing in telligence of the age." There can be little doubt the honourable gentleman will be re-elected without opposition, as during the five years he has represented the city ho has won the good opinion of men of all parties by his assiduity and inde pendent conduct.

THOMAS TOOKE, F.R.S. We have the painful talc of recording the death of Mr. Tooke, the venerable author ti f the " His ory of Prices," and in many respects for a long period the chief of living economists. Mr. Tooke died at his residence, 31, Spring-gardens, early on . the morning of Friday, the 26th nit., and hie remains were interred at Kensal-green Cemetery on Thursday last, in a vault which already contains one or two members of his family. Mr. Tooke s age was within a few days of the completion of hie 85th year, but it was not until within the l:t few ino.ihs that he manfested very sensibly the decay of powers to be naturally expected at so advanced a to-rind of life. The death of his second son, Mr. Thos Tooke, jun. (one of the directors of the Bank of England), after a very short illness, at the close of December, may be regarded as the more immediate cause of the sad event we now record. The suddenness and weight of the shock occasioned by so severe a bereavement as the loss of his son, exhausted a strength already impaired and failing, and for the last two months Mr. Tooke hsc been gradually sinking: But there ha been no interval, even up to the latest moment, during which the clearness and serei.ity of mind for which Mr. Tooke was so remarkable was interrupted. The long career of Mr. Tooke has been one which in vites and will repay scrutiny. He has united in an emi nent degree the sagacity and penetration of mind which enabled him to be a guide and discoverer in new paths, and the practical wisdom and soundness of judgment which qualified him to occupy a conspicuous place in the active business of life. In Mr. Tooke's case the com bination of the speculative with the practical faculty was exceedingly remarkable. Few men could be found more ardent in their pursuit of new truths, or more ready to adopt and maintain them when he had once satisfied. himself that the discovery was a real one ; but at the same time he may be classed among that small num ber of persons whose judgment is so clear and unbiassed, that the cases are exceedingly rare in which their deli berate advice is not fully justified by the event. For a long period, in the early part of his life, Mr. Tooke was the leading partner in one of the largest houses engaged in the Russian trade; and it was while so occupied that he acquired that remarkable command of facts which enabled him to raise upon so wide and solid a basis the economical doctrines and discoveries which will ever bear his name. The work which preceded the "History of Prices" was entitled "Thoughts and Details on High and Low Prices," and appeared in 1823. A. second edition was published in the following year. The first two volumes of the " History of Prices" —the work upon which Mr. Tooke's fame principally rests—appeared in 1838. Two further volumes appeared in 1840 and 1847; and it was only in the spring of last year that the sth and 6th volumes, embracing the important period from 1848 to 1857, and extending, in many respects, the scope of the earlier vflutnem, were Published. In these two volumes, IS is well known, Mr. Tooke relied to a great extent upon his coadjutor, and friend, and pupil, Mr. Newmarch, a coadjutor be justly said t o b e, i n some im portantdeg w degree, the representative of the school of which Mr. Tooke is the founder. But the active sphere filled by Mr. Tooke was of scarcely less interest than his pursuits as a philosopher. H e was governor, by re-election, for several su. cessive terms of the Royal Exchange Corporation—he was chairman under similar circumstances of the St. Katharine's Dock Company—and he was one of the earliest promoters of the London and Birmingham Railway. He contributed largely to the establishment of the Statistical Society, and to the latest period of his lite he never lost an op pertnnity of forwarding the objects of that association. He was a Factory Commissioner in the early days of th 6 great and difficult controversy out of which that com mission arose, and he was the chairman of the subseque-nt commission relative to the employment of children. Among the last honoure he received was the distinction of being elected a corresponding member of the French Academy. It is well known that Mr. Tooke was the author f the Merchants' Petition of 1820 in favour of free trade, and that, in point of fact, the free-trade movement then com menced was in a large measure originated by him. The petition itself is a noble document, and every principle it sets forth has since made the ground-work of legis lation. He has now passed away full of years and honours ; and so long as patience and intrepidity in the support of truth—a rare sagacity in separating real from spurious science—and the promotion, by his own active examPief of every useful work, can constitute a claim to gratitudis and respect, so lon g w ill th e name o f Th omas T oo k e fil a distinguished place in the history of the time in Wblcls he lived.—Economist, March 6.
