SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We wish to state as fairly as we possibly can the result of the movements in the present election. On Thursday we stated the gains and the losses up to that time. This day we reproduce the statement, made up to the latest accounts received. The gains to the Re formers are 35, viz. : Bradford—Busfield for Hardy. Bridgnorth—Tracy for Pigot. Bridport—Jervis for Twiss. Bristol—Berkeley for Vyvyan. Carmarthen—Morris for Lewis. Chatham—Byng for Beresford. Dover—Rice for Fector. Halifax—Protheroe for Wortley. Harwich—Ellice for Bonham. Haverfordwest—Phillips for Scourfield. Honiton—Stewart for Chichester. Knaresboroug,h—Rich for Lawson. Knaresborough—Langdale for Richards. Leeds—Molesworth for Beckett. Leicester—Easthope for Gladstone. Leicester—Duckworth for Goulburn. Lichfield—Paget for Scott. Ludlow—Salwev for Chariton. Northampton—Currie for Ross. Oldham—Johnson for Lees. Oxford—Erle for Hughes. Reading—Palmer for Russell. Sandwich—Carnac for Rice. Scarborough—Styles for Johnston. Shrewsbury—Slaney for Pelham. Southampton—Duncan for Hoy. Walsall—Finch for Forster.

Yarmouth—Wilshire for Praed. Yarmouth—Rumbold for Baring. As a set-off against these, there are the following gains to the Tories, in all 31, viz. : Bath—Powerseourt for Palmer. Bath—Bruges for Roebuck. Bedford—Stuart for Crawley. Berwick—Holmes for Donkin, Beverley—Fox for Burton. Bridgwater—Courtenay for Tynte. Brighton—Dalrymple for Wigney. Carnarvon—Hughes for Parry. Greenwich—Attwood for Angerstein. Guildford—Scarlett for Mangles. Hastings—Planta for North.* Hereford—Birr for Biddulph. Hull—Wilberforce for Hutt. Hull—James for Thompson. Ipswich—Gibson for Wilson. Kidderminster—Godson for Phillips. Lancaster—Marton for Stewart. Liverpool—Cresswell for Ewart. Maidstone—D'lsraeli for Roberts. Maldon—Round for Lennard. Petersfield—Jolliffe for Hector. Preston—Parker for Stanley. Rye—Monypennv for Curteis. Stoke-on-Trent—Copeland for Heathcote. Sudbury—Barnes for Bagshaw. Sudbury—Hamilton for Smith. Wakefield—Laseelles for Gaskell. Warwick—Douglas for King. Wells—Bhskeniore for Lee. Weymouth—Villiers for Buxton. Weymouth—Hope for Burion. But in stating the absolute gain of the Reformers at four we have been rather unjust to them. In fairness we might have added, Mr. Blake, for Newport, Isle of Wight, in the room of Mr. Ord ; and Mr. Wood, for Kendal, in the room of Mr. Barham ; as neither Mr. Ord nor Mr. Barham attended during the greater part of the last two Sessions, in consequence of ill-health, and they were consequently away from nearly all the great divisions without pairing. We cannot avoid observing that the accounts received yesterday are in many respects exceedingly gratifying. The Tories counted confidently on the triu m ph o f Sir John Beckett in Leeds, where his family have great influence. The return of Sir William Molesworth, a gentleman from a remote extremity of the kingdom, and consequently without any local influence, merely on account of his political character and principles, proves most de cisively the unpopularity of Toryism, when under such favourable circumstances it could not stand its ground. In the metropolis, and in all the great manu facturing capitals, Reformers have been exclusively re turned. Manchester and Salford, forming together the great manufacturing capital of the empire, have re turned Reformers ; Leeds, the capital of the woollen manufacture, has returned Reformers ; the capital of the Iron manufacture has returned Reformers. What better proof can be afforded of the unb'assed opinion of the nation ? If we have loet one Reform Member in Liverpool, and two in Hull, the cause is sufficiently obvious. In these there are the remains of the old pauper constituency, accustomed to be bribed, and not ashamed to receive the wages of corruption. Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham being new boroughs, have none of the old paupers, and arc independent. We have, however, gained one in Bristol, if we have lost one in Liverpool. Edinburgh has already returned iti two Reform Members, and Glasgow will also return its old Representatives. The Reform Members have, therefore, been returned by a population out of all pro portion greater than that which has returned the Tories. The Reformers represent the people, and the Tories the anti-national interests.--Morning Chronicle. a matter of doubt as to whether M N .rth was a Liberal, as 1:e seldom voted for that pa:ty. Since popular elections were first held in England, or, we ought to say, since their proceedings were first re corded, and accurate measures thereby taken of the state of public oi.inion, it is very certain that no struggle has ever been maintained which made mani fest ao extensive, deep, and decisive a condemnation of the existing Government by all the more respectable classes of society as that which is now in progress. Judging by the extent to which it has gone already, recollect that it was one effect of the Reform Bill to vest power in numbers, as contradistinguished from property, to a far greater degree than had ever before prevailed in England. We do not mean to say that numbers not qualified by any description or amount of property were let in to the exercise of political power, for that would not be true ; but that larger masses of the working population in comparison with those citizens who constitute the portions of it which are at once educated and independent of manual labour, have since 1832 been possessed of the right of electing representatives than ever exercised such right antecedently to that period, is altogether unquestionable. In truth, it is self-evident that the composition of the House of Commons was by the Reform Bill placed Jmainly in the hands of those whom it has been the fashion to call the " industrious classes" (as if there was no industry but that which showed itself in the produce of coarse bodily exer tion) ; and there is as little doubt that if they thought proper to combine throughout the kingdom, they could return a House of Commons of which nine-tenths at least would speak no sentiments but those of electors who are in the receipt of daily pay. That such a combination would be extremely diffi cult, and in the same degree improbable, we do not mean to question ; but, at all events, a very conside 7 rable p ower i s l o d ge d i n t h e " i n d us trious cl as ses throughout England, of returning whom they like to Parliament. If we further recollect, that credulity, restlessness, and the love of change, are far more pre valent amon g those men ex p ose d to h ar d s hi p , an d no t stored with political knowledge or experience, than amongst others who have much to lose, and are ca pable of detecting specious fallacies, it cannot surprise us that the leaders and professors of a " political move ment," which holds out promises of advantage to the poor, should have acquired some influence over those whose passions they appeal to. When, again, it is made apparent that an Administration exists which has formed a monstrous alliance with that very Move ment—the natural enemy of all useful Government, and which has flung the engines of official patronage and power into the lap of revolution, thus abetting the projects of a tyrannical democracy by the resources of the state which it would destroy, we cannot wonder that much should be done, and more undertaken, through the instrumentality of these " working classes," towards the creation of a vicious Parliament which shall represent the errors with which their minds have been impregnated, and the appetite for changes by which their deceivers will not share with them the profit. But that at which we have a right to wonder is the vigorous, nay, indomitable resistance, which hag been and still is, hourly opposed to the machinations of those artful projectors who have such facilities for playing upon the " industrious classes," and to the mean and selfish faction falsely called a Government, which is sensible of no higher interest or duty than that of flattering the ignorance of the multitude, and co-opera ting with the knaves who excite its angry passions. It is under this point of view that we regard the present elections, as exhibiting a power of resistance to untried c hange—that is to say, a spirit of rational Conservatism, such as scarcely any could have looked for, even of those who were most familiar with the tendencies of the English mind, and who had studied with most care the lessons with which our national history is pregnant. That in the teeth at once of the most corrupt and immoral Government on record, and of an organized democratic force armed with the choicest weapons of a constitutional monarchy, the defensive power of the State should have stood, as it does, and please God will stand, the onslaught of a trial like that which it now sustains, is all but a political miracle. The cities and boroughs of England are nearly all polled out, and the names returned for their representatives have been printed. There are mistakes in some of those lists, though not to a large extent (whether wilful or otherwise it matters little), which ought to be cor rected. The Radical papers of last night made the Mi nisterial returns, as brought up to yesterdav, 170, while those assigned to the Conservatives were only 130. Now the Conservatives, whose returns had reached town to four o'clock yesterday, were 134, leaving a majority of just 36 for the Whig-radicals on that part of the repre sentation where alone the Conservatives do not greatly outnumber them. See how it will be, as we observed in our last number, when the English and Welch Coun ties come into play—and when the transfers of certain seats in Scotland, both for town and county, shall have been brought into calculation ; we shall then have much pleasure in laying the accounts of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's Irish jobbery before the public of this country, and, placing them in juxtaposition with the history of the British elections, we shall help these modest Ministers to reckon the profit and loss which they have derived from that use of Queen Victoria's name wherein they have indulged so profusely. As for the metropolitan elections, which, according to the returns, have gone against Conservatism, with the sole exception of Greenwich, the issue of them costs us more regret and surprise, all facts appertaining to them being well considered. As for weakening the Conservative power in Parliament, save only as re gards the one seat for Westminster, they do no such thing—parties otherwise stand as before, until the meeting of the House of Commons, when, please the fates, we shall see what virtue yet remains in the ope ration of the Grenville Act. All eyes must now be turned to Middlesex, where fraud and threat must be encountered by skill, spirit, and energy. On the sub ject of that election we publish from " A Conserva tive" an animating letter.-- Times. Monday and Tuesday next are the days appointed for the election of East Surrey, and not this day, as was erroneously intimated in yesterday's Advertiser. For the principles of the candidates we refer to their speeches and those of their supporters, made yesterday at the nomination. There can exist no doubt of the side on which every honest and enlightened elector must record his vote. Those who would support the amelioration of our institutions and the Queen, must vote for Messrs. King and Angerstein ; those who wou'd uphold all abuses and abominations—the Duke of Cumberland's policy—will of course vote for Cap tain Alsager and Mr. Kemble. Truly did the Hon. Mr. King yesterday describe Tory principles, when asking " what arc those principles ?" he said, " Why those that were advocated by the detested King of Hanover, the head of the Orange Lodges. He had always desired to extinguish Reform and uphold abuses. Look what Toryism was when it got out of the free air of England. Only just look over the water, and they would there see a whole nation of Hallo verians in slavery. He would say with the greatest respect to those who were his opponents, that those were the principles they professed, and those that were entertained by their party. They wanted to have the Reform Bill repealed. The people of Eng land had been-slaves, but they had not hugged their chain. Unless the electors in every part of the coun try were determined to fight the good fight, he was afraid a chain was forging for them which would not easily be broken. Look at what the Tories were in the best of times—look at the national debt. Look at the pension list—vice had there been rewardid instead of virtue. Look at the war with America, where he rejoiced that Englishmen had got a good thrashing. Look at the French war ; what had that done—why it put a BoinI)on on the throne, which more liberal principles had removed. The Tories had put a tax on newspapers—they had placed a tax on candles—they had put a tax on light, but they had not yet, and would never be able, if the people did their duty, to tax the air they breathed." If any elector wish a repeal of the Reform Act—if any elector wish to uphold Orange Corporations in Ireland, to fa vour the designs of the Duke of Cumberland and his partisans in this country—if any elector wish to have established a despotism in this country as atrocious as that now existing in Hanover, let him vote for the Tory Candidates. On the con trary, let every elector who is desirous of extirpating abuses, imnrovin“ the system of Government in pro portion to the advancement and extension of the ge n-:rai intelligence, and of saving by this improvement the country from continual excitement and the danger of convulsion, to which the resistance given by the Tories to the just claims of the people has so often exposed the State, let every such elector not only vote, but exert his whole energies and influence for the Re form candidates. There is one circumstance which would render East Surrey more culpable than any other constituency, were it not to defeat with marked oppro brium the present Tory candidates. The open and insulting manner in which these candidates avow their principles leave the electors no excuse for not spurning them from their confidence. Mr. Kemble, we give him credit for his frankness, implies that the despotism of the King of Hanover is not so bad as that of the " tyrant majority of the House of Commons ;" that the National Debt is only proportioned to our re sources, and that our enormous expenditure in put ting down the aspirations of liberty in France was the salvation of Great Britain. But we shall let the gentleman speak for himself. In allusion to his opponents deprecating the Hanoverian policy, he observed, " they endeavoured to frighten the electors with the name of the King of Hanover. In liberality he would yield to no one—there was no one then pre sent who detested despotism more than he did, whether in an individual or in a tyrant majority of the House of Commons. Much had been said of the magnitude of the debt, but look at our vast resources. He was a firm opponent of unjust wars, and detested them as much as any one ; but he fully believed that had it not been for the lavish expenditure comilained of he should not then have been addressing them as freemen and independent Englishmen —had it not been for that expenditure we should now have been a province of France." Will East Surrey sanction such sentiments -as these ? Will it assist in placing the country under despotic authority, rather than retaining it under the re presentative eontroul of the House of Commons ? Will it have the national treasures still farther drained in support of absolutism and divine right on the Conti nent, and make the debt thus incurred the pretence and instrument of riveting domestic fetters more closely and gallingly? These are the propositions involved in Mr. Kemble's speech. Will East Surrey be duped, cajoled, intimidated, or bribed, into the support of such abominable policy ? We cannot suppose its constitu ency so besotted or degraded.—Morning Advertiser. The Whigs used to boast that the result of a gene ral election, under their own auspices as Ministers of the Crown, would give them, at least, 60 additional votes in the Commons, independently of elongating O'Connell's Parliamentary " tail" by some 30 or 40 new " joints." As far as the elections have yet gone this flattering calculation stands very little chance of being realised. It must be admitted that our pure and immaculate Ministers have left no means untried to accomplish their own prediction. Never at any period of our history were the arts of corrupt influence and intimidation more extensively and unblushingly exercised by a Government to debauch the " purity" and enslave the " freedom" of election. Yet all will not do-..there is a sterling constitutional feeling per- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1837 wading the great mass of the British people that can not brook the degrading domination of the O'Connell ridden Ministry, who have shown themselves ready to Eacrifice, one by one, for the favour and support of the Irish agitator, every institution of which ail true-hearted Englishmen are justly proud—insti tutions which are the pride and ornament of our civilization, as they have been the source of the glory, strength, and prosperity of the empire. While Ministers are working the elections with all the means of intimidation and corruption which they possess, they practise on the hustings the paltry de ception of speaking Conservative language with the view of entrapping the friends of the Constitution into the support of its systematic betrayers. They disclaim —aye, they have the cool effrontery openly to disclaim on the hustings, as Mr. S. Rice did at Cambridge, all connection with O'Connell, and to call themselves dis ciples of Fox, &c., while they are giving all the assis tance in their power to enable their mendicant-master to subvert the Protestant Church in Ireland, and to es tablish the despotism of superstition and ignorance upon the ruins of enlightened liberty. Even in Eng land this unprincipled Administration has, ever since the notorious compact at Lichfield House, endeavoured to afford the means and opportunity to the Irish de magogue of getting " the point of the wedge" into our constitutional system, and have only been baffled in their nefarious designs by the steads , loyalty and patri otic determination of the House of Lords, which, ac cordingly, the demagogue doomed to destruction when he went upon what he called his Ministerial mission to " preach down" the great bulwark of the monarch's crown, and the people's liber ties. Ministers, by disclaiming their intimate connection with this person upon the hustings, pay an involun tary homage to the patriotic feeling of the British people, and impliedly admit the disgrace of the connec tion which they secretly cherish and openly repu diate. What has rendered them the theme of the Agitator's incessant panef!vrie, instead of being, in his eyes, objects so hideous and abominable, that even the ferocious coarseness of his language, when painting their characters, seemed hardly adequate to the malig nity of his description ? He stated the cause of that change himself, when he told his Dublin auditory— " The Whigs have come over to me—not I to them." The price of the support which they purchased of him by one of the most disgraceful compacts, which, to use the words of Sir William Follett, ever darkened the history of political intrigue in this country, was, in the first place, the virtual delivery into his hands of all the patronage of Ireland. That patronage has been doled out among his followers—the slaves of his will —and the tools of his ambition, with the utmost dis regard of every qualification or claim to Government favour, except what arises from assisting the designs of the demagogue, and working in the harness of his agitation. Let the people of England look not to the Conservative tone of the speeches made by Minis ters themselves to suit the political taste of this country, which they know to be decidedly Conservative ; but let them look to the harangues and declarations of O'Connell himself and his followers in Ireland. Has the agitator abated a particle of his malignity towards Protestant principles and Protestant institutions ? Has he mitigated in the least degree the brutal violence of his language in attempting to control the freedom of election by the skull-and-cross-bones system of intimi dation ? On the contrary, has he not indulged in more than ordinary ferocity of expression against all who oppose his designs upon the religion and liberties of Englishmen, and does he not mix up his scandalous libels upon Protestant loyalty touching the succession to the crown, with the most fulsome praises of those whom he used to call the " base, bloody, and brutal Whigs," and who had denounced him as the enemy of his country in the speech from the throne ? If the electors of England believe only a tenth part of what the Whigs and O'Connell have said of each other, they must regard the Melbourne Ministers and their Irish patron as pecu • _ flatly- destitute of all that entitles public men to respec and confidence, and they must look upon their coalition as, indeed, one of the foulest transactions that has ever darkened and disgraced the history of political intrigue. Can English electors propose a nobler or more pa triotic duty to themselves than to so exercise their elective franchise as to rescue from the thraldom pre pared for her by such a faction, our young, amiable, and accomplished Queen ? Let them bear in mind that not only the future destinies of our youthful save reien, but even the existence of the monarchy itself, may depend upon the predominance of either a consti tutional or a destructive spirit in the new Parliament. Hitherto Ministers, as well as O'Connell, have used the Queen's name with the most insolent familiarity, as if the grand-daughter of George 111., the descendant of an illustrious line of Protestant princes, was pre pared to assist in the promotion of their policy, which would have already destroyed two of the greatest bul warks of the monarchy, by levelling the Church and the Peerage, if the firmness of the revered and la mented King William had not, by refusing to sanction any attack on the independence of the Upper House of the Legislature, prevented the accomplishment of their revolutionary schemes. The Ministers have happily been disappointed, as far as the borough elec tions have yet gone, in obtaining upon them an acces sion of strength. They have still worse chance in the counties, notwithstanding all the efforts of intimidation and corruption which they so unscrupulously practise. "co the poll, then, electors of Great Britain !fi» - the Queen, the Church, the poor, and the sacred institu tions (2f Me country ! Morning Herald. The County elections began esterday, and began ausp'ciously for the cause of the Throne, the Church, and the Constitution. After not merely maintaining their ground among the ten-pound voters of the towns, but making some secure and permanent conquests of territory hitherto occupied by their opponents, the Con servatives repair to the County elections with all the alacrity and ardour, and we hope and believe without any portion of the negligence or indolence, which con fidence as to the result is calculated to inspire. The first County return is that of Sir Charles Knighticy and Mr. Cartwright, who, no Ministerial or Radical can didate having dared to oppose them, are re-seated for the Southern division of Northamptonshire. In the Northern division of the same county, notwithstandin g the unsparing employment of the Fitzwilliam influ ence, with " all appliances and means to boot," the prospects of Lord Milton are awfully gloomy. This young Lord will find the freeholders of Northamp tonshire more formidable examiners than even the learned authorities of Alma Mater. It is scarcely expected that he will venture to go up to the hust ings for his degree. Should he do so it is quite cer tein that this time he will not escape plucking. But it is not in Northamptonshire only that we have this day to record the triumphant progress of the Conservative cause since our last publication. At Aylesbury, L wnere the constituency is of a mixed character, coin . bining the qualifications of our county with those of • borough electors, the Conservatives have re-elected Mr. Rickford, a sober-minded and honourable Whig, whom, like so many others of the same class, the Ministerial Whigs, by throwing themselves into the arms, and submitting to the authority of English revolutimists and Irish papists, have compelled to declare himself a Conservative ; and have given to him, in the person of Mr. Praed, a colleague who has been a consistent and decided Conser vative throughout the whole of his public life, and who filled, with equal honour to himself and advantage to the public, an important situation un der the Administration of Sir R. Peel. The towns men of Aylesbury, united with the freeholders of the hundred, have elected their old Member, Mr. Rick ford, by a majority of 325, and his Conservative col league, Mr. Praed, by a majority of 117, in opposi tion to the late Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. We believe that the community, whether they look to the elected or the rejected, will loudly and unanimously applaud what the electors of Aylesbury have done. This example is pregnant with instruction. The respectable Whigs who vet adhere to the present Ministers, if there be any such, especially if they wish to retain any portion of their natural influence in their respective neigh bourhoods will hasten to join the Conserva tive ranks. It is thus only that they can hope to keep their character and conduct in unison with the progressive mind of the country. But with those themes of exultation and of triumph we have to mingle one topic of a less gratifying ratter. Sir Wm. Molesworth has obtained at Leeds a nominal or apparent majority over Sir John Beckett of 109. This, to be sure, in comparison with Mr. Praed's majority at Aylesbury, over Lord Nugent, is an insig nificant affair. But we foresee that our Whig-Radical friends will endeavour to make much of it. What it really shows is that the Ministerial Whigs, by whose assistance Sir W. Molesworth has obtained an appa rent majority against Sir John Beckett, cherish prin ciples and meditate objects more in unison with those of the former than of the latter. We call upon the country to recollect, for it knows, what •are the principles and objects respectively, as the frequent declarations of each sufficiently attest, of Sir William Molesworth and Sir John Beckett. And we put to the country the distinct question what ought it to think of a Ministry whose well-in structed and well-drilled partisans open the way of Molesworths and obstruct that of Becketts to the House of Commons ? 'We will not institute a com parison between the two men, for we are not apprehen sive that with respect to their respective qualifications and merits there can be any mistake. Sir William Molesworth, under the favour of Lord Melbourne's Government, is returned. This is enough to show the animus of the Government. As to the result, we suppose it will be much the same as that of the city of London and the borough of Marylebone elections. It will be, we imagine, to show, in all the three cases alike, that when the Ministers of the Crown and the faction which supports them are reduced so low in principle and in strength as to cultivate the alliance of revolutionists, the means by which such a confederacy will seek to sustain itself are not likely to be very cautiously or honestly selected. A Ministerial Contemporary tells us, not withstanding the indications we have thus briefly noticed, that we must look to the Administration and its allies, if we would form any notion of " the ele ments of tranquil power." " The elements of tranquil porter!!" One of these elements is, we suppose, Sir W. Molesworth. Another, perhaps, is Mr. O'Con nell. A third consists of letters to tradesmen, threaten ing them with the loss of bread if they vote in opposi tion to the confederacy. A fourth is the bribery of • poll clerks to vitiate elections. A fifth is tempting men to personate dead or absent electors. A sixth is the purchase of perjury, in order to get the same vote twice or thrice repeated in the same poll. A seventh is the uncontested return for important counties of honest and honourable Conservatives. But there is L no end to these " elements of tranquil power ;" and we give up the enumeration in despair.—Morn. Post. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.J.Maznsrortus, Jinr 28. John Goulding, a private in the 69th Regiment, quar tered at Chatham, was placed at the bar, charged with having obtained a coat and a hat from Joseph Ponder, un- der pretence that be was sent for them by his master, Mr. Coates, an ensign in the same regiment. Joseph Ponder, an army outfitter, stated that on the evening of the 24th of June last the prisoner came to his shop, and said his master, Mr. Coates, was going out to a ball, or something of the kind, and wanted a dress black coat. Witness told him that he had not got a coat that would fit Mr. Coates. The witness replied that he must have it if he stopped all night, as his master would send him back for it if he did not take one heme. Witness then went to a neighbour, a tai'or, and bought a coat for 3/.35., which the prisoner put on, saying that was just his master's figure. He also said that his master had desired him to get a hat for himself. Witness gave him a hat, and he went away with it and the coat. Mr. Coates was an ensign in the 69th Regiment. The prisoner was a private in the same regiment, and his servant. lie never gave him orders to get a coat or hat. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of obtaining the coat under false pretences, but not the hat, as that was not found upon the prisoner. The prisoner was already convicted of stealing a coat from his master, and for that offence he was sentenced to be transported for seven years, the Learned Judge telling him that he had rendered liable to be transported for fourteen years for the felony of stealing the coat from his Master, and to seven years for obtaining goods under false pretences, but he thought the ends of justice would be answered by not inflicting the full punishment. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-D.RBr, JULY 27. THE QUEEN, ON THE PROSECUTION OF JOHN POTTER, V. MARY ANN IIEATITCOTE. MCIIDER.--1117ry Ann Deallicole was placed at the bar, charged with the murder of her infant female child. Tile prisoner is a single woman, and was in the service of Mr. James Chatterton, of Biggin, in this county, from which she was discharged on her being discovered to be in a state of pregnancy. On the 3d of May in the present year the prisoner was found by a person of the name of Palfreyrnan, a female, sitting in the turnpike road near to Biggin, when she complained of being very ill, and said she expected to give birth to a child, and asked for her assistance. The poor woman being alarmed at this state ment, ran to a toll-bar house near at hand, and on her re turn found the prisoner Heathcote had given birth to a fine female child while she was absent. Upon her repre sentations prisoner was assisted to within a mile of Bentley, where she said she had a furnished house, giving people to understand also that she was a mar ried woman. On getting to Bentley she slept at the house of a woman of the name of Alsop, who, feeling for her situation, allowed her to sleep with her daughter, who, at that time, happening to have a child of our own, suckled that of the prisoner, and otherwise contributed to her comfort. On the Wednesda♦ after the child was born the prisoner went back to the place from whence she had been discharged to try to regain her situation, but upon prevaricating as to what had become of her child, she was given into the custody of a constable, and after telling him two or three difilwent tales she at last confessed she had thrown the child down a mine, but that it was dead before she did so. Search being-made in the mine described the child was found. There being• some doubt, however, about the matter, the child being so very young, not above three or four days old, and no direct proof, the jury returned a verdict of.Arot Guilty. WESTERN CIRCUIT-Ea-137w, JuLr 28. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE-WREFORD V. HART This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover compensation in damages for breach of promise of marriage. The parties wore highly respec table, and were introduced to each other in 1829. In 1832 defendant made proposals of marriage to plaintiff, who re ferred him to her father, and his suit was accepted. Affairs went on till 1836, when defendant told plaintiff's father that he was anxious the marriage should take place, upon which the respective fathers of the parties met and endeavoured to enter into an arrangement for a final settlement. Some time afterwards a conversation took place between the two gentlemen, when the plaintiff's father said there was some thing suspicious about the circumstances, upon which defen dant said he would not marry his daughter. The Learned JUDGE proposed that an arrangement be determined upon, but it was not agreed to. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS, for the defendant, said that his client had always been willing to marry the plaintiff, but that the wedding had not taken place on account of the conduct pursued by the plaintiff's father, the lady's conduct having been the most praiseworthy. His LORDSHIP suggested that the proper course would be to withdraw a Juror, and hoped that the original inten tion of the parties would yet be carried into effect. A Juror was accordingly withdrawn. am LETS V. GIDDY. Mr. CROWDER was concerned for the demandant ; Mr. Sergeant BobtrAs for the tenant. The Court was crowded to excess to hear the decision of this cause, being a writ of r i g ht. Four knights were girt with swords, and 16 gentle men, constituting the grand assize, were sworn. The tenant obtained a verdict. The Grand Duke and Duchess of Oldenburg en tertained Prince Hesse Philippstlial and a select party at din ner on 'Wednesday evening-, at Nlivart's Hotel. Their Highnesses were visited on Thursday by Baron de Cetto, M. Tricoupi, and a large circle of the principal nobility in town. INVERNESS BURGHS.—The friends and supporters o f Mr. James R. Mackenzie, the Tory candidate for these burghs, including his father, the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Ross, who is not a voter or proprietor in any of the burghs, and the Provost and Senior Bailies of Fortrose, have had recourse to the most unprecedented means to intimidate, corrupt, and demoralize the electors of Fortrose. In that burgh, out of a constituency of 51, no fewer than 32 pledged their votes to Mr. M‘Leod ; many of these have been can vassed again and again, solicited, threatened, and harassed beyond measure, to induce them to break their pledges ; and this has been done by parties fully aware of their being pre viously pledged to Mr. M'Lcod. Some of them have been repeatedly drugged with ardent spirits, and others have been carried to the residence of Sir James Mackenzie, where every means was resorted to in order to extort from the poor men promises in violation of their previous pledges.
