TIMES.—One of the effects of the division in the House of Commons has been an immediate increase of confidence in money transactions. More business has been done to day, and on more liberal terms, than in the early part of the week. Those who deal in money will always, as in other commodities, make the best terms they can ; and, there fore, though the late difficulties have been formidable enough of themselves, something is to be set down to this cause. A few days ago when accommodation was sought for, the rate not unfrequently demanded was probably 5 per cent. and 1 per cent. commission on a bill having three months to run, equivalent to nine per cent. per annum. But we have heard merchants of high standing designate these terms as usurious, as seeking an unfair advantage of the borrower, and declare that, looking to the actual state both of money and credit, they could not with a safe conscience ask more than half per cent. commission. This is the hardship to which borrowers of money in difficult times like the present are ex po,ed, that they yield to hard terms rather than suffer the fact that they are borrowers at all to be needlessly bruited about to the possible injury of their credit. In the end they compensate themselves perhaps, by making better bargains when these high terms create competition in the Money Market, but the evil, in the mean time, is a considerable, and sometimes a fatal one. Toe much stress is laid, too, perhaps by those who cannot obtain discount for their bills on the locking up of the railway deposits in the Bank as the only impediment in their way ; but the capitalists who have had money to lend have always been led to inquire of late how far the applicants have been themselves direztly concerned in railway engagements, and have regulated their accommodation thereby as much as by the general demand for money. On the whole, as before stated, there are better prospects in . the Money Market to day, and most people are disposed to hope for their.continuance FOREIGN PATTERNS. —Application having been made to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, by an eminent firm interested in the importation of such articles, complaining of the offcers of the revenue having demanded the duty of Id. each, as single prints upon sundry patterns of embroidery and drawing imported into the port of London, the authorities have received a communication from Mr. Cardwell, one of the secretaries to the Treasury, stating that he has been commanded by their Lordships to convey to them their authority for allowing the present importation alluded to to be admitted at the rated duty of 3d. per dozen, being the same rate as is chargeable on prints sewn or bound, and that this indulgence was further to be extended to all similar importations of the article applicable to and intended for the same purpose. This order of the Lords of the Treasury has been communicated to the several depart ments, with directions to the officers to govern themselves in future accordingly, and is of considerable importance to the importers of such articles, as, although the duty in either ease would appear, to be very trifling, yet the extent of the hnpOrtations by the trade, caused by the endless variety and description of such kinds sf patterns almost daily beibg in vented and introduced froth thicontilieht for the purpose of Tarnishing' polterni or forms for vinbroiary; needle orl drawing, and other fancy operations, makes, in the aggre grate, a vast difference in the einount of duty levied thereon. r 64 ' ioe I 00 V ° l o 'l l 00 1 :1 1111 ric ) ,00 0 0 , eru e rIP LON DON T LTE SI DA Y 41- No. 16,677.

This case, which was part heard on Friday, was resumed. Mr. Burke appeared for the promoters. Mr. ELLICOMBE proceeded to open the case for the petitioners against the Bill. The petitions contained a large number of allega tions, many of them of the greatest importance if they should be sus tained. The first was the joint petition of Mr. Thomas West:ake and others. Mr. BURKE said he had to object to the petition being gone into, inasmuch as the petition purporting to be Mr. Westlake's had not been signed by that gentleman. Indeed, he was prepared to prove that Mr. Westlake was perfectly willing for the line to go on his property. - Mr. ELLICOMBE was 'prepared to prdre that the petitioner had authorised the solicitor tbr the opposition to append his name to the petition. _ _ Mr. BURKE contended that the petition could not be received, inas much as it had been decided over and over. again that it was a breach of privilege to append the name of any person to a petition without not only his authority, but • even had he given such authority without, in case of his not being able to write, his mark being placed opposite his name. In this case, even admitting the statement of Mr. Ellicombe, the petition did not contain- the mark of Mr. Westlake, who could not write his own name. The Committee decided that the petitioner's names in d not been appended to the petition in conformity with the standing orders, and that, therefore, the petition, so far as regarded Mr. Westlake's pro perty was concerned, could not be entertained. The allegations in the petitions of the other parties were then gone into. The first allegation was, that the standing orders had not•been complied with, inasmuch as the cross section did not show the altera tions proposed in a road which crossed the line. • • Mr. BURKE contended that it was not necessary to do to. Mr. BRUNEL said that it was not necessary to show such altera tions on the cross sections ; the cross sections were valueless when the Bill passed the standing orders. Mr. Emacoman would maintain that the allegation was a most im pertant one, and he was certstin..the Committee would take the same viewxt the question. It the promoters were allowed to take the same view of it as Mr. Brunel, there would be no necessity of coming before a standing Orders' Committee at alh - Thd room was then ordered to be cleared, and after a few minutes' deliberation, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were unanimously of opinion that the standing orders had not been complied with, inasmuch as the cross sections of roads at No. 67 on the plan did not point out the alterations which would take place on the line, should the Bill pass into a law. The next allegation was, that certain roads marked on the plan were not shown on the sections, in compliance with the 23d standing order. Mr. Titiasz said that as the roads in question were not intersected by the line, Although within the limits of deviation, it was not ne cessary tbr them to be delineated on the section. • Mr. Emacomau would maintain that the omission was a non compliance with the standing orders. The CitAtamAN said the Committee were of opinion that, as the roads were not intersected by the line of railway, the allegation must be overruled. The next was that the lessee of property, Nos. 53 and 54, on the plan had not been served with notice, nor had hii Lame appQared in the book &reference. Mr. BURKE contended at much length against the allegation, but he was stopped by The CHAIRMAN, who said that the Committee were of opinion the standing or ers had not been complied with, inasmuch as the lessee of certain fields had not been served with notice, nor was his name on the books of reference as lessee of the property mentioned in the allegation. Several other allegations of a similar character were sustained, and a few unimportant ones were abandoned. This closed the case. Pab-Committee, 110. 2. This Committee met - to-day shortly after twelve o'clock. The following mem;ers were present, viz., Sir J. Y. Buller (chairman), Mr. Bramstone, Mr. Bell, Mr. Gibson Craig, Mr. Kemble, and Mr. Walker. EDINI3URGH, GLASGOW, AND DUMBAR- TONSIIIIZII JUNCTION. The consideration of the petitions against this Bill was resumed. Mr Graham (agent for .the petitioners) suggested that the Com mittee should proceed with the allegations having reference to the levels. The Ccimmittee had no objection to proceeding in that way. It was stated by Mr. GRAHAM that the notes which the Committee wished to be produced had been inspected by both parties since. Some discussion arose between the agents as to which should take the initiative upon these notes, the one to show that the standing Orders had been complied with, and the other the negative. Mr. GRAHAM said that hd would make his election of the allega tion respecting the road marked 231, which was stated to be in accurate. Laughten was examined in support of the allegations. He made a complete survey of all the line from Glasgow to Helens burgh. The notes he then held in his kand were those he made at the time of the survey, and contained complete evidence as to the portion of the line now under discussion. His assistant's survey coincided with his own, and had reference to the point of datum line which they were now considering. His as sistant had done a great deal of business for him, and he generally found him accurate. The notes shewed that a mistake of seven feet had been committed at the road marked 231. Mr. PRITT cross-examined the witness. He judged of the correct ness of his assistant's notes from his general accuracy. His assistant was not present. Mr. _Kyle corroborated the preceding evidence. Mr. Crewe examined—Had made a survey of the line from Helensburgh, and the allegation as to the point 231 was correct. Mr.-Paivr, in his cross-examination of this 'witness, inquired as to the accurate distance of the road from the point marked 133 being two miles and four furlongs. air. YORKE, (who entered a few minutes before) objected to this line of examination - being proceeded with, and a discussion then arose which endeed In the room - being cleared. The CHAIRMAN (on our re-admission) said that the Committee were of opinion that Mr. Fria might pursue the line of examination he had adopted with reference to the accuracy of the section. Mr. Frew re-examined—Made his survey at Helensburgh, and carried it up (in conjunction with Mr. Kyle), to the point 231, and the section was wrong at that point. It would follow as a matter of course that the plan would be wrong at tt punn walfi t tAhilhlx r had k t s called upon to examine. Both the _ _ Mr. Kyle, engineer, examined—The previous witness was his as sistant for a number of years and he generally found him correct in his surveys. There was an error of 3 feet 6in the notes of persons who had checked the line for the promoters of the Bill at the point in question. The notes passed through the point of the line alluded to, and the result showed that the error alleged was committed Was convinced, from the perusal of these notes, that his own calculations were correct. Cress-examined—lt was not an unusual thing for engineers to make their levels from different datum points, which was the case in the present instance. There was a change of gradients at two miles three furlongs and eight chains. There was a difference be tween his calculations and those of the notes made by the party who surveyed the line for the promoters. The Committee were of opinion that the allegation was not sus tained, and therefore that in this case the standing orders had been complied with. Several allegations to the same effect were abandoned. The next was an allegation by the proprietor of the ferry at Beim hill, which was crossed by the railway by two bridges. Mr. M'KENziE proved that Mr. Smollett had a right by crown charter to levy ferry dues on the, bridge in question, which he had substituted for a terry boat. The line of railway did not touch the bridge. Mr. Smollett was proprietor of the laud on the side of the river Leaven, where the railway came to. Was agent to Mr. Simonet The allegation was not sustained. It was also alleged that the radius of the curve at the Glasgow Terminus, which was a mile in length, was not marked on the plan deposited. • Mr. PRITT contended that the allegation was not sufficiently specific, inasmuch as it did not state what section was meant. The allegation was not sustained. Mr. GRAHAM suggested, that as the nest case which related to the Canal Company could not possibly terminate that day, the case should be postponed. • _ _ _ _ _ The Coinmittea then adjourned shortly before four o'clock to twelve o'clock to-morrow.

The line also will give a direct metropolitan communication to Londonderry. The length of the line, with branches, is ninety-four miles, aid the esti mated cost 1,000,0001. The engineers are Messrs. Stephenson and Ross, and Messrs. Gregory and Falkner, the Parliametary agents. Five petitions had been presented, complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders ; but the only one upon which au appear ance was made was that of Mr. George l'llkington, of Rutland square, Dublin. . - The formal proofs were gone into. The first allegation in the opponents' petition was, that the notices to the owners, lessees, and occupiers were inaccurate, • and calculated to mislead the persons upon whom they were served. The allegation failed on the ground of the petitioner not being competent to make the allegation, he petitioning for another party whose written authority to do so he had not obtained. The case was then adjourned for the attendance of a witness who was necessary to complete the promoters' case. Sub• Committee, No. 6. This Committee re-assembled this day, at half-past twelve o'clock. Present, Captain Jones (in the chair), Mr. Deedes, and Lord Ebring ton. SOUTH WALES. The object of this Bill is to effect improvement's in the existing line, by constructing various deviations ; one from the main line at or near Catty in Glamorganshire to Llanharren ; another from Llyduey to the Forest of Dean, with other small branches. The length, including all the deviations, is about 84 miles ; the estimated cost 2,000,000/. ; the amount is provided for in the funds of the Company. Engineer, I. K. Brunel, Esq. ; Parlia mentary agents, Messrs. Bushe, Venablos, and Co. ; and solicitors, Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt. Considerable delay was occasioned in this case in consequence of a point raised by the Chairman as to the sufficiency of the declaration regarding the mode of raising the necessary funds for the estimates. The declaration set forth that the sum of 1,101,0001., which was part of a sum of 1,611,0001., was provided for by a surplus of the original funds of the company, of which 2,530,0001., had not been required. The consideration of the point raised occupied about an hour, and on our readmission to the room, which had been cleared of strangers, the Chairman decided that the declaration was sufficient, but post poned his final decision until he shou'd have consulted with the Chair men of the other Sub-Committees. This was the only railway petition which came under the con sideration of the Committee, and they adjourned at four o'clock till twelve to-morrow. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. This Committee resumed its labours at twelve o'clock this day. Several cases , came under the consideration of the Corn tnittee, but, in consequence of the non-attendance of wit liesses, they were adjourned till a future day. The cas e o f th e WATERFORD, WEXFORD, and DUBLIN' RAILWAY, which occupied nearly the entire day, has been fixed to come on at twelve o'clock to-morrow morning. The TEMPLEMORE and NENAGH RAILWAY with the CLONMEL and THURLES. have also been adjourned. There is not the slightest foundation for the reported severe indisposion of the Earl of Lincoln. The best refutation to the idle report is, that the Noble Earl returned to the metropolis on Friday, and on Saturday eveninn , dined at Sir It. Peel's.

AND OXFORD RAILWAY 'MEETING •OF PROPRIETORS. A meeting of the Proprietors in the above-named under taking was held at the King's Arms, Palace-yard, at 12 o'clock, on Saturday, for the purpose of enabling the directors to explain to the company theirpresent position. The meet ing was numerously attended, and the chair was taken by Mr. Muntz, M.P. the chairman of the Board of Directors, at 12 o'clock presisely. The CHAIRMAN said that the shareholders had been called together under circumstances of a rather peculiar nature. The directors could have wished that this meeting had been called for the purpose o f enabling the shareholders to say what line of conduct should be pursued preparatory to the final close of this undertaking, ; but as it unfortunately happened that they were placed in very difficult circumstances, in con sequence of suits which had been instituted against them — upon grounds which were true' r not true—that could not be done. The directors were p ced in a position of extreme difficulty, inasmuch as they . e r e charged with having hitherto misconducted themselves without having the means of correcting or contradicting that report, and they thought that they should be justified in calling the present meeting for the purpose of explaining their conduct to the shareholders before the courts of law had passed their judg ment upon them. After the directors had explained their position to the shareholders, they would only be too glad to bring this concern to a final close and settlement, as speedily as possible.. As far as regarded himself, he could say most decidedly that he wished, from various circumstances which he would relate to them, that he had never had taken any part in the undertaking. Under the present state of liti gation in which the company had been placed, it became a serious matter to know how they should act. The directors were advised that it was quite impossible for the scrip -holders to take any share in the close or winding up of the affair— that in fact the shareholders were the only parties who could take any part in it. The directors had no wish to bide any thing from the company; their desire was to give as full an explanation as possible of the pr — at prospects of the com pany. As, the presentswa ring -which• bad been legally called, . and his charaefeT had been aspersed for the part which he had taken in this affair, lie wished to explain in a very brief manner the part which he had taken in this undertaking. He had never taken any part in any railroad undertaking previously, nor would be ever have connected himself with the present had it not been for the circumstances which he would briefly detail to the meeting. In August last, he received a letter from a Mr. William Parsons, in which that gentleman submitted to him a project to form a railway which should connect Southampton with the North west of . England and North Wales. In that letter Mr. Parsons informed him that he had obtained the sanction and assistance of many influential gentlemen in London for the formation of such a line, and he suggested to him (the Chairman) that as he was the representative in Parliament of the town of Birmingham, through which the line would pass, his name would be of great weight ; and he, therefore, requested permission to place his name amongst the directors of the proposed undertaking. He represented also' that there would be no competing line, and that the profits • would 'be unusually great, as it would be a direct line, connecting some of the most important towns in Eng land and Wales. He (the Chairman) replied to that letter, requested to be furnished with a prospectus of the under taking, and stating most distinctly that he. had never con nected himself with any undertaking. He was unwilling to take any part in this, but as it was represented to him by the writer, that his doing so would be of service to the people of Birmingham, he had no objection to take shares, in it if there was no rival line. Mr. Parsons, in reply to that letter said, that lie found that •he had erred in saying that there was no competing line, for since the date of his first letter, he found that there was another undertaking of a similar description with which his (the Chairman's) colleague (Mr. Spooner) had allowed him self to be connected, and with which he also took every prominent part. On the 21st of August, Mr. Parsons again wrote to him, stating that several noblemen and gentlemen (including Lord Rossmore, Colonel Westenra, &c.) had au thorised him to place their names on the provisional com mittee. He also said that he was promised the support of Lord Carnarvon, and other noblemen, and that be had an interview .with a gentleman who was intimately ac quainted with Mr. Spooner, and other gentlemen of the rival line, and who would succeed in inducing them to give their sanction to their undertaking, and withdraw it from the rival line. The next letter he received from Mr. Parsons was dated the 26th of August. In that letter he had been advised to bring the present undertaking before the public at once, as the rival undertaking had not been abandoned, and also that the line should be considered as a purely com mercial undertaking. He also stated that he had succeeded in obtaining permission to add Mr. Spooner's name to the provisional committee, and he would take the liberty of put ting his (the Chairman's) name at the head of the committee of management, requesting him 'at the same time to favour him with his presence at a meeting of the proprietors as soon as convenient. On the 29th of August Mr. Parsons again wrote to him (the Chairman) with an amended prospectus, which he said he intended laying before the public, but in that prospectus the most important names on the provisional committee had been left out. He stated in that letter that the rival undertaking had been brought before the public, but that it was impossible that it could succeed, inasmuch as that which he had projected would afford precisely the same accommodation as that contem plated by the other line, and at the same time save the public 1,100,0001., and preserve what he called the bard-earned rights of other companies. .Now, the fact was, that he (the Chairman) did not positively know, until that time, that a rival undertaking would be started, for had he anticipated a .4.,0l Eno he would not have taken the least part in this undertaking. A PROPRIETOR--I think you.had then a very good oppor tunity of withdrawing from the concern, and exposing tho individual who had brought it forward as having made state ments to you which were not founded on facts, he having said that this scheme was the only one which was then existing. I merely make that remark to give you an opportunity of explaining the reasons why you did not withdraw. The CHAIRMAN—Perhaps it will be saving the time of all parties if I should be allowed to proceed with my statements. If the company think that I should not make the explana tion, I will not make it, but I think that I should have an opportunity of clearing my character.—(Cries of "Go on.") The Chairman then continued to say that he received another letter front Mr. Parsons, in which he stated that the applica tions for shares were immense, that the time for applications would be limited to ten days, but that the directors need not trouble themselves by applying, as care would be taken that' shares were allotted to them. On the 6th of September he received another letter from him, requesting hint to attend a meeting of the company at Swindon that day, and that Mr. Attwood.had also promised his support to the undertaking, and leading him (the Chairman) to believe that the rival line had been abandoned. On the 30th of September he re ceived a circular from the secretary, stating that each gen tleman in the managing committee had a call of 500 shares, and wishing to know how many he would take, at the same time requesting that he would fill up the feral that was at the back of the letter. He did not answer that letter, nor take any shares, as he did not consider the concern wor thy of any notice. On the 15th of September he had also received a letter from Mr. Parsons, stating that he had ridden over the line with Mr. Kenton, the engineer, and had chosen a very good course of country, and he also stated that he had persuaded Mr. Rastrick to beceme their engineer; that on the 17th of September there was a meet ing of the directors, and it was then resolved that 300 shares only should be reserved for each of the directors. He re membered writing a letter in answer to that, giving au thority to put his name down for 100 shares. He after wards received several communications from Mr. Parsons, and one of them, amongst other things, stated that lie was appointed chairman. He attended a meeting of the committee for the first time on the 26th. He afterwards learned, en the Bth of October,. that a letter of allotment for 200 shares had been placed at the-disposal of Mr. Parsons, for the expenses and trouble he had incurred in the management of the affairs of the company. Mr. Parsons, on that occasion, spoke to him, and told him that he had been refused the letter of allot ment, but he had at length prevailed upon' the secretary to • give it to him. The committee were decidedly of opinion that the conduct of Mr. Parsons was wrong, as he had no right to apply for such an allotment as 2,000 shales, as so great a number required a good deal of consideration, and should not be given to any but a responsible party. They, there fore, deputed him, with Mr. Spooner, M.P., and Mr. Wil liams, to ask Mr. Parsons to give up the letter of allotment. Mr. Parsons, on being asked, fetched the letter, and, after some hesitation; he gave it up, and it was, with his consent, destroyed. A SHAREILOLDICE asked if the shares were then at a dis count ? The CHAIRMAN said that they were not. Since that time Mr. Parsons had brought an action against several of the gentlemen on the committee, for having deprived him of the premium that accrued on the letter, by destroying it. Mr. Parsons wrote to him to attend as a witness of the transaction, expressing great regard for him, but at last, instead of calling him as a witness, he filed a bill in Chancery against him. After Mr. Parsons had given up the letter et allotment a report arose that he had been through the Court of Bankruptcy without having paid any great amount in the way of dividend. The committee in consequence felt it necessary to associate some persons of known respectability with Mr. Parsons in order to assist him. Mr. Parsons ob jected at first, but at last consented, and Mess's. Hill and Heald, solicitors, were appointed. After that time Mr. Parsons spoke so roughly to the committee that they dotes► seined that he should not be allowed to act in the committee room. Several proceedings with reference to amalgamation with Mr. Bethel's line and the Andover line, took place sub sequently. The attempted amalgamation with Mr. Bethel's line was prevented by a great difference in the levels at the point of junction, and the Andover line failed in raising the required capital. Mr. Parsons bad received 2501. for his actual expenditure, and four hundred pounds were offered for his services. •He had refused it, and had placed the matter in Chancery. His (Mr. Muntz's) object in calling the shareholders together was to justify himself in their eyes, and let them know the exact state in which the Company stood. The SECRETARY then read the report. At the conclusion of the reading, Mr. PARSONS lose to justify his conduct, and a very stormy discussion ensued, which it is unnecessary to place before the public. After the recrimination had in some degree subsided, Mr. Muscrz said that the shareholders were in possession of the exact state of the Company, and it would be better to adjourn until the law proceedings came to a close. They would probably be concluded on Tuesday next. The meeting then adjourned.

There was no change at Liverpool on Saturday in the Cotton Mar ket. Sales, 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Railway Shares were heavy. There has been a very fill attendance of the merchants and others in the places of public resort, and lousiness wears appearances of improvement not to be mistaken. An increased amount of produce has been announced for sale. Should the corn question Bill be passed by the House of Lords (it is held to be certain as respects the House of Commons), the most san guine merchant, who has favoured the great principle of free trade, will be short of the mark as to the approaching revival in the trade with the continent and elsewhere. In the meantime, it may be expected that some parties will be placed in difficulties. Indeed there are one or two addi tional firms " talked of." But until an authorised notification of the fact of suspension is given, it is not the duty of the " City Corre spondent" of any paper, to give hints, whether direct, or indirect. The mostsanguine expectations are entertained here as to the future condition of the cotton and the woollen manufactures. The stocks of cotton at Liverpool are larger, and the consumers, generally speak ing, are and must be steady and regular buyers for a considerable time to come. By the Washington, advices have come to hand one day later from Boston. There is nothing new to report connected with the Oregon debate in the American Legislature, if we except the con tents of one letter. It is stated in this communication, that in all the agricultural sections of the Republic, the prospect of a repeal of the British corn-laws has had a most decided influence in checking the war-cry on the "paltry Oregon question," as our correspondent calls it. Farther he states it as the concurent opinion of all but the Polk party—that should the Cortes agree to give the notice of a dissolu tion of the joint occupancy of the territory in question; an amicable arrangement " will and must" be come to. There has been an improved market for the British Securities to day The political antagonism in the Stock Exchange—the Change, "where merchants most do congregate," and in the City generally, is rapidly softening down, and with a serious degree of earnestness are people Woking out for the ;wonderful change in the commerce of the country occasioned by the prospective repeal of the corn-laws. That the advent will be forestalled, and money required for invest ment in foreign produce, and very early too, is deemed an fait accompli, and the unfunded debt looks rather downwards. Ex chequer-bills have been quoted as low as 345. this morning. Consols for the Account have just been done at 96% (one-eighth below the opening price), and for transfer to-morrow, the figures have been 96%. Bank Stock has advanced to 210.

MANSFIELD, SATURDAY.—This morning the nomination of Loid Henry Bentinck and Lord Lincoln, as candidates to represent North Nottinghamshire in Parliament, took place in this town, according to previous official announcement. After the usual formalities, Lord Henry Bentinck was pro posed as a fit and proper person to represent the northern division of the county in Parliament.—(Long and loud cheering.) W. H. BARnow, Esq., of Southwell, seconded the nomi nation. T. BAILEY Esq., of Basford Hall, addressed the meeting, and concluded by nominating the Earl of Lincoln. Mr. PARKINSON (amidst the general clamour)—As a friend of Lord Lincoln, I ask you whether you do this with his Lordship's sanction and authority. Mr. BAILEY—I can tell you that it is by Lord Lincoln's knowledge that I appear hear. Mr. PARKINSON—I press for an answer. I ask you if you have his Lordship's authority for him ? The SHERIFF put the question; and Mr. Bailey replied that he had answered it.—(Continued confusion.) Sir T. WritTE—l ask you if you have his sanction to nomi nate him here. Mr. BAILEY—It is with the knowledge of Lord Lincoln. The UNDER-SHERIFF—Has Lord Lincoln authorised you to nominate him ?—(Cries of "Answer that.") Mr. BAILEY, with much vehemence—l will not be beaten' down by any one. I stand here as a freeholder, to nomi nate. any fit and proper person to represent the southern division of this county in Parliament I choose, even though lie be at the end of the earth. I will not be tied down by any unconstitutional declaration. Mr. PARKINSON said, if Lord Lincoln had given his sanction, he had broken his word.—(Hear.) Mr. BAILEY—But I offer him as a candidate.—(Great confusion.) - . - Mr. PARKINSON—But remember what Lord Ashley said. —(Hear, hear.) - Mr. BAILEY—I care Lot what Loni.A4ley.said and did. , —(Groans.) - Sir Trium.ts Wirrrn and the SIrERIFF begged for order. A voice—Let him empty himself of his speech; that's all he wants.—(Laughter.) The UNDER-SHERIFF expressed a hope that Mr. Bailey had Lord Lincoln's sanction for the steps he was taking. His Lordship had not said a word about coming forward to him. Mr. BAILEY—I don't wish to give unnecessary trouble. 'I have put Lord Lincoln in nomination, and I will bring him in.—(Long and loud cheering, and great uproar.) Yes, I repeat, I will bring him in. —(Ironical cheers.) It was not necessary, be would say, in answer to an exclamation that Lord Lincoln. would not come himself, that the general should come himself. It is unnecessary. If we succeed, it will not be the first time a subaltern has led on his cohorts to victory:— (Cheers.) We knew we had a phalanx of wealth and of power to contend against, -and we did not attempt to break ground until we-were sure of winning the contest.— (Loud cheering and uproar.) Mr. GEORGE MOLINI COWLEY seconded the nomination of Lord - Lincoln. He expressed his confidence that the free traders' formed the majority of the elcetors, and that the election would terminate in the return of Lord Lincoln.— (Cheers ar:d signs of disapprobation.) Lord HENRYI3ENTINcx. then presented himself, and. was received with loud cheering.' He could not but apologise for having been forced upon their attention; it was, how ever by no wish of his own; there were many difficulties at first in his path to be encountered, but now they had been smoothened away, and the manner in which their leaders had abandoned them ought to call forth their utmost ener gies to secure his return,—(Hear, hear.) Twenty years' discussion and experience had laid before them all the argu ments on the great question of protection; and they were much indebted to the present Ministers for some of the strongest arguments that could be used against the arguments of their now new allies, the League.—(Hear, and applause.) His Lordship continued to address the meeting in this sense for some time. At length he said he did think that, if the measures of Government were passed, all the land in that division of the county, from Arnold to Bawtry, would be thrown out of cultivation, and would again become nothing more than an extensive rabbit warren. - (Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") When he called to mind what had recently been done in the House of Commons, in spite of consistency, he could not help but think that something was seriously wrong. —(Hear.) Now these weak, ratting Ministers, were found to be truckling to every wild cry of the League, and refused to offer any resistance to the cry of the Papists; it had be come their duty to take their affairs into their own hands. Their proceedings, hitherto, had plainly indicated their future intentions, and it could not but be observed— The confusion here was so great that the Noble Lord's voice could no longer be heard. During the whole of his speech much noise had existed, but now a wild and general cry arose in the town that was almost deafening to those in the Hall. Exclamations of the division, a dissolutien of Parliament, &c., were very frequent, at which the protec tionists turned pale and still. At length a large placard was held up to one of the windows announcing a majority of 97 in the House of Commons for Sir Robert Peel's measures. This intelligence was received with repeated rounds of cheering by the free-traders, during which the Noble Lord ceased speaking. Lord BENTIECK at length resumed, and after some further remarks and disturbance, concluded. Mr. BAILEY called for three cheers for the majority of 97, which were given in hearty good style by the free-traders, and reiterated by the vast crowd outside. Each candidate was then put to the vote, when a vast ma jority of hands was held up in favour of Lord Bentinck. A poll was then demanded by Mr. Bailey for Lord Lin. ' - - " " cola— - - A vote of thanks was riasetairtVo Siferift; aric ing terminated at half-pmt twelve. The greatest excitement prevailed in the town. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, Fin. 2d.

CHESTER, FEB. 27.—PARCEL ROBBERY.—A most daring as well as adroit robbery was committed upon the porter em ployed by the London and Birmingham Railway Company on Thurs day morning last. It appears that the porter left the station at Euston-square with between forty and fifty parcels in his basket, for delivery in various parts of London ; when he got to Gray'. Inn, a man came to him and said he bad been sent after him from the station with two parcels, which he produced, and which he said were to be delivered immediately. The stranger told the porter if he would run with the two parcels, he would take care of his basket till his return. The porter most tbol ishly took the bait, went off with the two fictitious parcels, and on his return found his basket and parcels had all disappeared. The consequence of this act of egregious folly on the part of the porter can hardly be imagined—no doubt it will be serious ; one or two of the parcels were froth solicitors in this city. The railway coin pang are, of course, liable for the act of their porter, and will, do doubt, do all that they can to remedy the loss ; but in the case of legal documents, it is very often impossible to obviate the injury by any pecuniary compensation. GREAT NUMBER vF NEWSPAPERS DISPATCHED.- , The dispatch of newspapers on Saturday night last from the General Post-office was so large, that it was found impossible to get through the duty before nearly three-quarters of an hour beyond the usua' time. The number posted, assorted, and dispatched, is estimated at 130,000, besides which 35,000 were forwarded by the morning mails. _ _ _ _ ISCRF.ASE OF TUE MORNING MAILS.—The arrange ments to the north of England, rid the Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, being now completed between the Post-office authorities and the Railway Company, several towns on the line will have, in future, the benefit of a morning dispatch to and from London. Stamford (six miles from the station at Sibson), is also put on the morning mail list, there being a coach in connexion with the line, by which conveyance the bag is forwarded. Bags are .now made up six times daily at the General Post-onice for Brightqn, and dispatches from that town received equally frequent for delivery in London.

D.) , ,• IN RE TAINT. • raTING 501. TO MM.—This insolvent, who had carried on -b 4,1111011 as a publican at We inclaor an Rom ilex-crane, Z4l well, came up for his doll order, and was opposed on behalf of the assignee on the ground a concealment, and fraudulently makjng away with his property. Mr. BUCHANAN appeared for itic insolvent, and contended that the assignee, could not be.heard, as he wao U.Qt a creditor ; his name was certainly in the list, but it was only for a i7:79111ty. The Act 7 and Vic., declared that no person but a creditor, or an attorney duly authorised, should oppose the final ordor. 'rho _Attorney for the assignee urged that the latter stood as th representativit of all the creditors, and that he had a right to appet.. on their behalf. The Learned COMMISSIONER was at drat inclined to believe that the assignee could be heard, but on reference to the Act he found that the assignee must be chosen by the majority of the creditors in number and value. The assignee, however, happened to be the highest creditor in the schedule, and had chosen himself and accepted the trust. Not being actually a creditor, he had no locus standisin the Court. The Attorney submitted that the insolvent could be examined touching the affairs connected with the estate. The Commissiorain suggested that the order should be granted, for, under the 12th section (not repealed) of a previous Act the order could be rescinded on Otudulent concealment being shown. The Attorney begged art adjournment. • Mr. BUCHANAN said that If the assignee chose to pay his liability lie could be heard. ' The COMMISSIONER asked what ne liability was ? The Attorney said it was on a bill for 501. to a loan society, and gave his word that it should be paid. Mr. BUCHANAN, however, said he would rather net be bound by his unguarded offer, as the assignee would be a cirlitor subsequently to the petition, and, therefore, the insolvent would not be absolved. The COMMISSIONER considered that there was good ground for 04 adjournment, if the assignee chose to pay 501. for it. The adjournment took place accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and Mr. Justice Mat - LE.) THE CRIPPLEGATE MURDER. John Feacy, a type founder, aged 28, was charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Martin. Mr. Bodkin attended for the prosecution, and M. Robinson was engaged for the defence. From the evidence, which has been detailed at length in our police reports, and we need not therefore recapitulate, it 14) 4 peared that the prisoner had been cohabiting with a woman named Emberson, but on account of a series - of quarrels be tween thtm'they at length separated, and the woman applied to the deceased, Thomas Martin, with whom she had been formerly ac quainted, to assist her in removing that portion of the fbrniture which she claimed as her property, from the residence of the pri soner in Cradle-court, Redcross-street, Cripplegato Within. In consequence .of the woman's application, the de:. ceased went to the house in question, on the 17th of nbruary, and commenced removing the furniture, when Feacy almost without a word being said, snatched up a knife from a table and stabbed hint in the side. The deceased called out "I am stabbed," when the woman ran for a surgeon, who came immediately and dressed the wound. The Magistrate, with the Clerk of the Police-court, attended at Cradle-court next day for the purpose of taking the deposition of the wounded man. The ieceased, who appeared perfectly conscious that there was no possibility of .his surviving the injury, stated that after the prisoaer had stabbed him with - the knife in the lbit Ode, lio• pulled it out, and attempted to eke hinaezeratAimed - itlerwards, until it was wrenched out of his band. The deceased n-as removed .to the hospital on the 18tli, where he lingered till the 21st instant, when he died. The surgeon proved that the cause of death Was the wound inflicted by the prt soner. Mr. ROBINSON addressed the jury for the prisoner. He contended that the witnesses were not entitled to unlimited credit, inasmuch as in several instances they had contradicted each other. It seemed clear that there had been some struggle between the prisoner and the deceased, and it was a point for the jury to consider whether, as no previous acquaintance existed between the parties— as there fore the crime could not be a premeditated one—the whole case did not resolve itself into the lesser crime of manslaughter. • Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up. and the jury, without hesita tion, returned a verdict—Guilty of manslaughter. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the jury had taken a lenient view of his case, and; - thereforei.only convicted him of the crime Of manslaughter. The Court felt it necessary, in order to put estop to the use of murderous instruments on every trivial occasion, to mark its sense of the crime by the heaviest punishment in Its power. .The sentence wgs, that lie be transported beyond the ACAS for the term of his natural life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. • Marla Bishvp, a yoimg man, of fashionable appearance, was charged with assaulting •and obstructing police-constable No. 161 of the C division in the execution of his duty. The constable stated that between two and three yesterday morn ing as he was on duty in St. Martin's-lane, the defendant, who was very much intoxicated, came up, and began pulling and pushing him about. lie advised him to • pass on quietly, and walked away on his beat. The defendant, however, followed, and again catching hold of him, threw him down with great violence pn the footway pavement. He also made use of very bad language. At the station-house the defendant said he was a captain in the navy. The defendant said he had taken too much wine, but he could not • believe himself capable of behaving in the manner the constable had described. lie was, however, extremely sorry if he had in any way misconducted himself. Mr. MALvu—You will have to pay a line of Si., or two months' imprisonment. The defendant immediately handed ;over a Si. Bank of England note to the usher of the Court, and hurried out of the office. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, Feb. 28. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Levi Warman was charged upon the coroner's inquisition with the wilful murder of his wife, Elizabeth Warman. Mr. T. Chambers conducted. the prosecution. The evidence against the prisoner was entirely of a circum stantial character. It appeared that he was a labourer, and resided at Standen, in this county. The deceased was re presented to be a very well conducted industrious woman, but the prisoner had some bad connexions, and frequently quarrelled with and ill-used his wife. On the evening of the 16th of August the deceased had been to market, and re turned with some little articles she had purchased about seven o'clock, and the prisoner questioned her as to what had become of some apples off the trees in the garden. The de ceased replied that she knew nothing about them, upon which the prisoner abused her, struck her on the head, and drove her out of the house. She went to a neighbour's cottage for protection, and the prisoner went there and told her to come out, at the same time making use of various threats towards her ; and among other observations, lie said, if she did not come out he would "weed her is the neck hole, and she should remember the day and the hour." The neigh bour seeing the temper of the prisoner, advised the deceased not to go indoors until he was gone to bed, and she remained about the house, and was last seen alive crying in the garden of the cottage. Shortly after this the prisoner sent hie daughter, who was the only person in the house at the time, to a beer-shop at some distance to fetch him a pipe, and im mediately after she was gone, the prisoner was heard to come down stairs and go into the garden, and he then again re to When the daughter emit back, she was given, and the piisoner Went deciii WORWlWareikw4.; seeing the body he exclaimed, " Ali! she is gone, and God bless her." Upon the body being es amined by Mr. Pack man, a surgeon at Puckeridge, lie could not discover any external marks of violence, but upon opening the head lie discovered a violent bruise under the skin upon the scalp, which had caused an extensive extravasation of blood, which, pressing upon the brain, had occasioned the death of the deceased, awl he said 1:e had no doubt the injury was occasioned by a heavy blow with tome blunt instru ment, such as a stick or a piece of wood. A heavy stick that was found in the cottage of the prisoner was produced by the constable, and it was likewise stated that there was a large piece of wood in the prisoner's garden that was used to keep the gate shut, and which was moved from its place in the evening, and it was supposed that the fatal injury had been inflicted by means of one or other of those weapons. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said, "I never hurt her; she must have hit her head against the door." The jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter, and he was sentenced to be transported for twenty years. Charles Hymmersione, 24, a well-known Loredon thief, was indicted for a robbery with violence, upon Joshua Lettey, on the Queen's highway, and taking from him fourteen sove reigns, and Lee Buckland Wade, 24, was indicted for felo niously inciting and counselling the other prisoner to commit the offence. Mr. Espinasse and Mr. Lydekker prosecuted. The circumstances of the case were these :—The prosecutor was a farmer, and on the evening of the 31st December be was returning home from market in his cart, when lie was attacked by five men, some of whom jumped into the chaise, and held him while the others rifled his pockets, and robbed him of the amount mentioned. The prisoner Hummerstone pleaded guilty. The only evidence against the other pri soner was au extraordinary conversation that took place between him and Hummerstone, while they were locked up in separate cells, but within hearing of each other. The con versation referred to was proved by Barnes, an inspector of tLe Herts constabulary, and was Ito the following effect Humo.stone began the conversation by calling out for " Bucky," and asking where they " pinched" (took) him, and he replied, "At Cambridge." Hummerstone then said he was quite sure they would pinch him, for they were all seen on the road together. " Bucky" then asked Hum merstone what he meant to "patter" (his defence), and he replied that he shohld say that he went to a public house where the " sploder" (witness) was, and had two pots of beer, and that he overtook the other men by accident on the road. The prisoner Hummerstone then told the other prisoner that while he was in the cage he heard a respectable man say " that the bloke' (prosecutor) could not and would not rap to any of them, and that he had better have the fourteen quid than have to pay 50/. or 60/., which it would cost to get them lagged." He added, "If Cheeky is taken, it will be the worse for me." Bucky replied, " non sense, keep to me story ; if I had not done so I should have been ochared' (transported) long ago." Hurnmerstene then said, "If I get my liberty again, you will not catch me in a ' chuck' (highway robbery) with any of the home ones,' (coantry thieves) again." Bucky then said, " I ain't afraid of my Poll's cracking, for she does not know anything, only what you told her on the road, and I told her not to know any of yon." Hum merstone replied to this, " I should be glad to take seven ' shekel' (years) for this, and glad of the chance." Bucky said, " You begin to du ck, but you will be square enough. I don't think any of you will be stuck to. He then asked whether they clid'ut have a split? Hummer stone said, " Yes, Blood and Cheeky collared the prad (horse), and I jumped up behind the chaise, and got hold of the bloke's' collar, but the drag shook about so, that I lost my hold." Bucky then asked what time they got home, and Hummerstone replied, " About twelve o'clock, and Blood and Nutty went away with the rowdy,' and I was a fool for not sticking to the swag" (booty). Mr. Baron ALDERSON, there being no other material evi dence, said there was no doubt that the prisoner Wade was perfectly well aware of all the circumstances of the robbery, but the evidence was not sufficient to make out the specific charge in the indictment. Wade was consequently acquitted, and the other prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life. HEn, MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The opening of Her Majesty's Theatre is positively fixed for te-night.
