To Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, the Hon. Member for Bristol, is due the credit of having conquered for this most important question its present 'vantage ground. From 1848 to the present time he has been unceasing in his endeavours to gain the ear of the House of Commons for this question, even as from 1838 Mr. CHARLESPELHAM VILLIEMS was unceasing in his endeavours to gain the eeir of the House of Commons for the discussion of the question of Free Trade ; and so welithas Mr. HENRY BERKE LEY:SBCCeeded, that the question of the Ballot is now, in 1852, in quite as forward a state as was in 1842 the question of Corn-law repeal. We cannot but re gard it as a matter of some im!?ortance that Mr. COBDEN has at length felt it his duty emphatically to re-echo the declaration made long :since by the Hon. Member for Bristol, that without protection to the voter any scheme of reform brought under the con sideration of Parliament must be nsugatory. An ex tension of the suffrage without the' protection of the ballot would, under existing circuasstances, be a re fined and cruel mockery. So far from considering the possession of the franchise without the protection of the ballot as a boon, there are many who are at present entitled to be on the register of electors who voluntarily disfranchise themselves, in order to escape from the tyranny, dictation, and rdin to which, under the present system of open voting, unfortunate tenants and tradesmen are everywhere subjected. As was well observed by Mr. HENRY BERKELErT, in his admirable speech at the Great Bristol Reform. meeting last week, in acknowledging the vote of tha'iks passed to hire for his past services in the cause of reform, and par• ticularly for his able advocacy of the ballot—" The ballot is in itself an extension of the franchise." " I will make that point clear to you, proceeds the Hon. Gentleman. " The ballot will extend the register on the one hand, and the poll-book on the other. I will prove it to demonstration. nr. MUNTZ, in sup porting one motion I made on the subject of the ballot, said that i n 13irrningham, and of his own knowledge (and when Mr. Mus Tz speaks of th at which he know s , no man deserves more credit, for he is a downright honest man), there were one thousand and more electors in the town of Birmingham who were intimidated from using their franchise at elec tions. There would be an increase at once of one thousand on the poll-book. Buts we may presume that that which has been proved to exist in one place, may exist in other constituencies. Hone thousand are deterred from voting in Bin-ea:no m, rneYfrained at R violent from there must be two or three thousand in W(rstminster. If on e Birmingham, city how have '33a thousand at e lection in this voting ? Protect those men at the polling booth, and then look at the pall-book. Birmingham would show an increase of one thousand of those men heretofore deterred from voting try intimidation, an d they are the very men who, fronx their position and intelligence, ought to vote. The ballot, then, would add to the poll-book. It would also add to the re gister. It has been calculated by a competent agent that there are three thousand men in Westminster, an equal number in Marylebone, an I an immense num ber in London—men who have the best right to express an opinion, but who now refuse to be put on the register ; and why ? Because they will not subject themselves to impertinent inquiries, to the bullying cajolery, and threats to which they would be subject if they were on the register. If London shows such a return we may conclude it is the same in other places : men is the sam e throughout Eng land. I have proved to you, therefore, that the ballot would increase the poll-hook and the register. By g iving the ballot you would not only be giving pro tection to the voter, but largely extend the suffragc— I do not say to a sufficient extent, for I do not know precisely what that might be, but my notion is that it would be very considerable. And if we had the ballot, not only would the suffrage be extended, but it would enable the electors to send such from what it was some Fixand-thirty years since. Thanks to the late improvements, our weapons are, comparatively, innocuous, and the English soldier, sweating beneath his in convenient fardels, would serve for little more than food for powder,lhad he to front a French or Prussia n foe. Without touching to-di sy on the expediency of in ternal fortifications, or d• yelling on the necessity of an augmentation of the artillery—a necessity incon trovertible, unless it is to be expected that the guns will work and fire then aselves—we would mention what appears to us the first necessary steps towards rendering the infantry somewhat really effective. The old musket, then, should be utterly con damned, and generally replaced by a lighter, handier, and more sure-shooting arm. In GERMAN Y. The Lloyds states that during the course of last year no less than 7,960 arrests took place in Vienna alone. Accounts from Frankfort state that it is the inten tion of the Feder al Military Commission to ord er the e rection of barracks in liamburgh. We are authorised to contradict a statement which has appeared in several journals, that the station of the Great Northern Railway, King'-cross, h a d given way. At this season ot. the year such a mass of 'brick and mortar will not dry so rapidly as in summer and to prevent the possi bility of accident, the building has been secured by " stays," not " props." We" are enabled to announce that a Lieutenant- Governor is about to be appointed to the Cape of Good Hope to conduct the civil business of the colony during the absence of the Governor at the seat of war.

A committee having been formed to'receive subscriptions, &c., votes of thanks were accorded to the Duke of Newcastle for presiding on this oc casion, and for his uniform courtesy and desire to advance the interests of the town ; to Mr. Lawson for his munificent offer; and to the mayor for the trouble he has taken in the question. The subscriptions already received are :—Mr. Walter, 100 guineas ; his Grace the Duke of New castle, 1001.; 'Mr. Barrow, M.P., •501. ; Mr. A. Lowe, 501. ; Mr. J.

THE MURDER IN SllADNVELL. — l r esterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital on the body- of Almon, whose murder in a low house at Shadwell we reported , when 'the case came before the Thames Police Court.

In the ne, t place, all the sergeants and the light companies shottlA be provided with conical ball rifles, and the use of the latter almost unerring implement be introduced 'into the rifle and light corps. The actual power of eve ry regiment would thus be doubled, for though the number of bayonets would remain the same, the nec sssity for the employment of " the cold steel" is so infrequent as to render it scarcely worth a passing mention. Suppose a body of foreign troops effected a landing on the south coast, what, in the name of hem 'en, have we to oppose them ? Could all our home regia tents together live before the fire of a few thousand of ti :e French tirailleurs, mowed down as they would be w ith a dead certainty at a dis tance f ro m which they relight just as effectually dis charge " brown Bess " at I he full moon as at their rap id andnimble antagonists ? We are neither alarmists, nor do we desire to see any undue increase to he homes forces, but what men we have let the be equipped in snch a MannE r as not to render them com paratively useless. On n ueh a pinch we could then take the field in no despit;able strength, for very few, if any, regular troops net d be held back for garrison duty, which could be fur i 3 ished by the pensioners and such of the police and ye' manry as know how to pull a trigger. Moreover, if rifle volunteer corps were 'tablished throughout the counties, consisting of active and well-conducte l men under the command of the lord-lieutenants, rissembling occasionally for ball practice and th e litt; l e amount of drill nece ssar y , an advancing enemy wot Ild be cut ri g ht and left in a country so int ersec t e d I a ou rs is with fences.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export. The market closed firtnly. The sales comprised 50 Pernam and Ma ranham at 51d. to 6d., 30 Bahia at kid... 250 Egyptian at 50. to 9d., 300 Surat at 3d . to 31d., and the re- mainilerAmeriCan.—Railway Shares weio depressed, al ower prices. The Tea sales have) been going off at lower rates, bu some of the Hyson and Gli - UpovNder is of old importa tion. About one-third of the quantity put up finds buyers. The members of the Banking Institute held their second conversazione last evening at the place which they have selected for their future meetings and for their reading-room—one of the commodious upper rooms of the Hall of Commerce. There was a good attend ance, and the subject brought under notice was one of considerable importance, the law of crossed cheques. Mr. Shaw, who has already distinguished himself by treatises upon this subject, went through the whole subject clearly and impartially, and the inference we draw from his statement, and the remarks of the practical men engaged in banking who were present last evening, is, that the law respecting crossed cheques is in a very unsettled state, or rather that there is no law upon the subject, and that even the custom is in definite. No better proof of this can be given than that during the recent action against Messrs . Coutta and Co. different bankers gave opinions almos t diametrically opposed to each other: some considering that a crossed cheque should not be paid, ex. ceept through a banker ; others, that 'a cross ing should not be erased to have even ano ther banker's mine substituted, while there are third parties who declare that they consider the crossing no bar to payment across _ the counter. If it be not incompatible with the objects of the Banking Institute, we think its more influen tial patrons should endeavour to get the metropolitan bankers together in conference, and since the custom, useful fled safe, as wo must admit it to be, is still not sufficiently established, it would be desirable to have it made law. The clients of bankers are quite as much interested as the bankers themselves. The steamer Europa has arrived, and brings 847,500 dollars in specie. Business was dull, owing to the holi days. The Californian news is very encouraging again. Important discoveries had been made in the Mariposa county, near Bear Valley, in the neighbourhood - of Ague Fria. The following is part of the description given : "The new placer is of great extent, and it is believed that it will prove the key to new and still greater dis coveries. The placer diggings in Mariposa county have never, we believe, yielded so bountifully as those in the Taolumne and Calaveras regions, but we imagine the recent developments will give the county an importance in the eye of the miner equal to, if not surpassing, that of any other county in the state. The Stockton Journal of the 21st ult. says—" We learn the following particulars concerning a discovery made last week at Bear Valley, five or six miles south of Quartzburg, Mariposa county. Some Mexicans found a deposit of very rich decomposed quartz, at a depth of from ten to thirty feet, and worked some time at it before they were noticed by the Americans. W hen the secret got out they were driven off by a party of Americans; and on Satur day last there were between 1,000 and 1,500 persons on the ground, which was staked off into claims of thirty feet square each. It was a question, for a time, whether the quartz or placer laws should be adopted; but the people finally agreed to be governed by the latter. We are informed by Mr. Dickenson that one pound of the rock yielded 12 dollars." A rich quartz lead, some five miles in extent, has been discovered in Scott's Valley, near Martin's Reach, and hundreds of persons from Shasta Butte city and other points are taking up claims upon it. San Francisco was described as being quiet, and pre senting a thriving aspect. Crime was decreasing. In the Shasta and Upper Butte districts discoveries had been made in locations before considered barren. From all parts the accounts are encouraging. In respect to quartz digging, several new machines had been erected, and yielded a profitable return. In October last the exports of goll amounted to 6,884.975 dolls. Agricultural operations during the year had been pro fitable. For the purpose of supplying San Francisco with fresh water, the " Mountain Lake Water Company" had been started, in 10 , 000 shar es, of which 2,000 had been taken. The capital is 500,000 dolls. The Mexican adiioes given in the New York papers do not appear to be later than those forwarded by Mr. Falconnet, consequently the asserted rejection by the Senate of the plan for levying duties to pay the January dividend needs confirmation.

It resembles an enormous caterpillar, and was of a brownish red colour. Its length was about 22 inches. The moment it saw that it was observed, it glided into the brushwood, and all attempts to discover it were unavailing. The authorities of the Museum of Natural History of Paris have sent off orders to their agents in Algiers to spare no exertions to get a specimen of the viper. LoY D'S SHIPPENG.—(TH s DAY.)

SMITH 1.), PINCOMBE, This was an appeal from a decree of the Vice-Chasi d ' cellor, setting as idea compromise effected between the parties in respect of their rights to certain propesti; situated in Devonshire. Th e plaintiff is th e natural daughter of John Pincombe, who died in 1838, devising to her, by a will executed in 1837, a considerable Sbaro of his estate. Of this she remained in possession sotne time, until some legal defect having been discovered in the execution of the will of 1837, an action of ejectmen t was commenced by the trustees, the defendants in the present suit, but before the action came to trial a way promise was effected' between the parties, disadvanta‘ . genus to the plaintiff, as compared with the interest sh e had formerly eijoyed under the will of 1837, Imfor diately after the execution Of this compromise the plaixr tiff 's attorney 'having been led to suspect that another will, legally executed, was in existence, succeeded to discovering a will in the keeping of a third party, legally executed, bearing date 1834, scarcely less favour' able to his client than that which had been set aside by the agreement. Upon this the plaintiff mediately repudiated the compromise, and file d a: hill in Chancery to set it aside, on lb o ground that she had been induced to enter into it hi the defendants having fraudulently concealed the axis"' enco of the will o f 1834, hav i ng had know l e d ge o f " themselves during the whole time. The defendants, e ll A the other hand, i n t h e i r answer, d en i e d t h at they heeitim" known of the ex i stence o f any suc h w ill, an d inststel that the plaintiff herself had had cognizance of it, an that she had entered into the agreement knowing fall well its c on t en t s . O n th e h ear i ng o f t h e su i t, at will ° f voluminous conflicting evidence was read in support e the allegations on both sides, the Vice-Chancellor Pr °; flounced a decree granting the prayer of the petition, a°''' setting aside the compromise on the ground of frausW e lent con cea l men t o f th e w ill b y th e d e f en d an t s . Th a defendants then appealed to the Lord Chancellor, an the suit was heard before him in the course of last terri The LORD CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment, aa that the case, from the conflicting evidence given by ae'", side, was ono of considerable difficulty. He had, he sa ,' ever, gone through it with great care, and after 4 r„ liberate consideration he had come to the concluel e ; that the plaintiff had executed the compromise in (laf s t Lion without being aware of the evidence of any on, will than that of 1847, and that the defendants bad bee e . aware of it, and had concealed it from all the mernbe,r; of the family, and, in fact, from all the world. The weight weight of evidence certainly inclined to that side, anci eo was scarcely probable that the plaintiff, had she knowi, of a will, legally executed and indisputable, and scarce?, less favourable to her than that under which she 1, : then in possession, would have consented to a compr v .. . raise so greatly to her disadvantage as the one in qua°, Lion. Relying, then, on tile principle of law that render,: a family compact binding, a full disclosure was necassaq on all sides of all facts bearing in any way upon thw matter in question, and considering that such disclosi had been withheld in the present instance on the side : 0 the defendants, he should cenflam the judgm e nt of t h Vice-Chancellor, and dismiss the pre sen t appea l "NP — costs.—Appeal dismissed accordingly.
