DERBY ELECTION. Mr. GOULBURN brought up the report of the com mittee on the Derby Election Petition. The report was as follows :—" The committee have gone into the allega. tions of the petitition, and they have to report there upon, that they have examined witnesses and heard coun sel in support of the petition, as well as on behalf of the Right Honourable Major Beresford, the Secretary at War, and th e y h ave agreed to the following resolution, namely, to report that, respecting the specific allegations contained in the petition before them, the evidence which was taken satisfied them that an organised system of bribery and corruption was car ried out at the last election for the.borough of Derby. That the Right Honourable Major Beresford wrote a letter to a Mr. Frail of Shrewsbury. The letter which has already been before the public as one of the W. B. series, was to the effect that a good and safe man was wanted at Derby, but as Mr. Frail could not be spared from Shrewsbury, he must send some one in his place. The letter also gave explicit directions by which such a person was to make himself known at Derby, and was signed W. B.) That in consequence of the said letter, a Mr. Morgan was sent to Derby by . Mr. Frail, acting on the instructions which he had re- Der, and s u b sequent l y Morgan was apprehended in Vby while engaged in carrying out the plan of the or onuised system of bribery proved before the committee. dn,„! co mmittee do not fi n d th a t th ere i s su ffi c i ent evi ;-.-e to ee stisfy th e i r m i nds that the organised schemes the r i ght boon referr e d t o i n t h e petition were known to committ ee ar n. member the Secretary at War; but your sions of the e, o f opinion that the equivocal expres to the wa t er el tter ought at least to have suggested letter might the t ide a of the improper use to which that are of opinion be was applied, and your eommittee less indifference to the terms of the letter show a reek eceequences which they cannot too highly censure. The report was ordered to be Printed. NOTIcEs 01 , Lord HOTHAM MOTION. gave notice that early after the ye cess, he should move for leavet in a bill to pre oorbrienogurts of L aw and elude the Judges of the Superi Equity from sitting in this house. Lord D. STUART gave notice that early after to re the a recess, he should move for leave t o bring in bill peal the Septennial Act, and to shorten the duratio n of Parliaments. Mr. ROCHE gave notice that early after the recess he should move the following resolution, That this house do resolve itself into a committee o f the whole house, to take in to consideration the present mode of levying duties upon home- road , spirits in bond. .Lord JOCELYN gave notice that, early after the re. eess, he sh ou ld call the attention of the house to the general question of railway communication in India. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. Mr. COWAN wished to ask the law officers of the Crown, if their attention had been drawn by the Board of Inland Revenue, or otherwise, to the fact that a weekly paper/ entitled "The Commercial Journal, containing advertisements, intelligence, and news, has been published in the City of Dublin for some time 'without a Stamp, and circulates notwithstanding freei through the Post-oflice; and whether it is the intention ] I of the law officers of the Crown to take any steps against the proprietors or publishers of the paper in question. Mr. WHITESIDE, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, knew nothing whatever of the case. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD said as the billwas to have been brought in on this subject, particularly with reference to the Household Narrative of Current Events, but it had had not yet been laid on the table. Might it be ex pected before the house broke up for the holidays ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had requested the Attorney-General to turn his attention to the subject, as he thought the grievance complained of ought to be remedied. The Attorney-General, how ever, was not in the house, and he could not say whether the bill would be laid on the table before the recess. THE HOUSE TAX. Mr. PELLATT wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reference to houses under a parochial tax composition, being let at weekly rents, whether, under the proposed double house tax landlords or owners would have the option of a similar composition ; and whether, in the case of the extension of the area to. houses of ten pounds rental, or 4s. per week, a deduction would be made for repairs and for local taxation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not the intention of Government to take notice of the parochial composition, but each house would be as sessed according to its annual value, and no allowance would be made similar to that made by the local authorities. Sir B. HALL moved for a return, in columns, of-1. The number of houses in every county in England and Wales charged to the window duties in 1851 ; 2. The gross amount charged thereon in 1851 ; 3. The number of houses charged to house duty in the year ending April, 1852 ; 4. The amount of duty thereon. Agreed to. WO. ll l THE SLTN, - LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1852. THE MADIAIS Mr. KINNAIRD wished to put a question to the - Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, relating to the case of the two Madias, now under sentence of im prisonment by the Tuscan Government ; and to inquire whether any reasonable hopes may be entertained as to their speedy release. Lord STANLEY said the Government had received several communications from Sir H. Bulwer on the subject, and he thought he might say from the terms of them that there was reasonable hope of the release of the Madiais ; but at the same time the information was not sufficient to enable him to speak positively on the subject. LISETJEN ELECTION. Mr. MACARTNEY complained of the delay which had taken place in making the return for the Lisburn election. The cause of the delay was to be found in the Hanaper office, Dublin, and as similar delay had taken place in other cases, perhaps the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland would enquire into the matter. Lord NAAS had no knowledge whatever of the cir circumstance, but he would enquire into it. PORT OF SHIELDS. Mr. HUTT moved a copy of any memorials or other documents laid before her Majesty's Treasury, suggesting an extension of the boundaries of the port of Shields. Agreed to. EMIGRATION SHIPS. Mr. HUME moved for a return, in tabular form, of all vessels belonging to the United Kingdom cleared out ward with passengers at the Custom Houses of Great Britain and Ireland, from the 16th day of June to the 31st day of December 1852 (both days inclusive), under inspection of emigrant officers (in continuation of Parlia mentary Paper, No. 542, of Session 1852) ; showing name of ship, owner or owners, composition of crews, emigrants of each class, in manner of preceding return ; with the totals from each port for the whole year 1852. Agreed to. POOR LAW UNIONS. Mr. EWART moved for returns from each of the poor law unions in England, Wales, and Ireland, show ing :-1. What kinds of employment, if any, are carried on in the respective workhouses, or on land attached to them. 2. The number of adult able-bodied persons, male and female, who appeared on the books as reci pients of 'relief on the Ist day of July, 1852, and the proportion of them engaged by the directions of the guardians in handicraft and agricultural industry. 3, The classification of the inmates of each workhouse, and the number of them engaged in industrial pursuits. 4, Whether all the articles produced are used in the workhouses, and, if not, how the surplus is disposed of. —Agreed to. STAMP DUTIES ON PATENTS BILL. The Stamp Duties on Patents for Invention Bill was read a third time and passed. THE BUDGET—ADJOURNED DEBATE. The house then went into Committee of ways and means, Mr. Wilson Patten, in the chair. Lord J. RUSSELL said he found that the other night there was considerable difficulty in ascertaining the meaning of the resolution of the Government, and, on inquiring into the matter, he found that only a por tion of the resolution had been read. He, therefore, thought it would be better to take the whole resolu tion. Mr. W. PATTEN explained that the usual course was to read the whola resolution, unless an amendment was proposed, and then only the portion of the resolu tion to which it referred was put. There having been an amendment, he had adopted the latte, course. Mr. HUME said, on behalf of Mr. W. Williams, he would withdraw his amendment, and substitute it as an amendment to the whole resolution of the Govern ment. After a few words from Mr. W. PATTEN, The CHANCELLORR of the EXCHEQUER said he was informed on the highest authority that the reso lution should be taken paragraph by paragraph. He only intended to take the opinion of the committee on the increase and extension of the tax, and the question as to the amount of the tax would be deferred until another occasion, when he should take the opportunity of laying the views of the Government before the com mittee. That was a distinct proposition, and he felt bound in honour not to press for a decision upon it until after the holidays. He trusted the committee would agree to divide upon the preamble of the resolution as soon as possible. Mr. E. DENISON said he distinctly understood that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated he would look upon the vote of the committee as conclusive of the whole propositions of the Government ; and, under these circumstances, he hoped the Government would allow the whole resolution to be read. (Hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE thought it was the practice of the house for the chairman to read through the entire reso lution, unless he were interrupted by some hon. member who desired to move an amendment to any particular paragraph. The hon. member for Lambeth gave notice of an amendment to the preamble of the resolution, but he subsequently withdrew it, and the hon. member for Manchester (Mr. Bright) then intimated that he wished to take a negative on these words. Now he would ask the hon. member if he had any objection to a negative being taken on the whole proposition ? Mr. BRIGHT said he was willing to take any course which the forms of the house would sanction. Sir J. PAKINGTON observed, that though in point of fact there was but one resolution, it embraced four distinct propositions. The preamble stated the principle of the Government proposition—viz., that the house tax should hereafter be extended in erea, and increased in amount. (Hear.) Then there followed three other distinct propositions—first, that the house tax should be extended to houses of 10/. ; secondly, th a t h ouses of a certain class should p a y s. in the pound ; and, thirdly, that other houses of a certain other class should pay ls. 6d. in the pound. These were all propositions on which a difference of opinion might prevail ; and he therefore submitted that the most fair course was to consider only one at a time, and to take the preamble first. (Hear.) Mr. GOULBURN said they were in a committee of ways and means, for the purpose of granting supplies to her Majesty ; but the preamble _of the resolutio n was . . not a vote, for it simply asserted that " the following duties should be hereafter payable—that is to say," and then it terminated. (Hear, and cheers.) It involved a general principle ; but a committee of ways and means was not the place to determine such a question. (Cheers.) Mr. ItINDLEY thought if the house had not intended _ -- to go into the details of th e reso l ut i on, th e proper — time would have been to do so, at the time when !the hon. member for Finsbury opposed that the Speaker leave the chair. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE denied that the preamble of the resolutions contained the principle of the extension of the area of the house tax, and of the amount of payment on it. He contended that the issue originally intended by the Government, was the doubling of the house tax, and it was nonsense for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to say that that rested with the house. The issue had, in fact, been changed to suit the convenience of some par ties, but who they were, he knew not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that so far as he was concerned, he should not consider any gentleman voting for this resolution, pledged to the Government proposal with respect to the house tax. Sir C. WOOD doubted whether it would be possible in accordance with the forms of the house, to put th e preamble of these resolutions al one . Th e fact was, that the resolutions were drawn in a somewhat loose form. They were in commiitee of ways and means, and their duty, therefore, was to vote a grant, and not to repeal an existing tax. If it were in form, he for his own part, was quite willing to go to a division on the preamble. Lord J. RUSSELL thought that the most satisfac tory course to be pursued would be to read the whole resolution. so The faraCsthAe N fo e nn E L o L f O R of h the rtes resolution Iu EXCHEQUER t ion was concerned, he e t had copied them totident verbis from those of the right hon. gentleman the member for Halifax. He repeated that, so far as the Government was concerned, any gentleman voting for this first resolution was perfectly , entitled at a future opportunity to oppose the redupli cation of the house tax. Mr. E DENISON said that the declaration of the right hon. gentleman was in substance that any hon. gentleman voting a supply of one shilling might be at liberty to interpret that shilling to mean 6d, 4d, or 10 (1, as he liked. , Mr. K. MACAULAY said h e was one o f t h ose, w h o being willing to divide for an extension of the house tax, w ere unwilli ng to b e driven into a vote as to what the amoun of min ext ension sh ou ld be. Be had not yet made up his as to th e number of pence by which the house tax should be extended, though he was of opinion that ft should mr. bes. itextteuntEdit. the committee was , toTvgshai td amountt h atthe ther real h i o questionshoudbefo what was impossible for them to should be extended, an d discuss the principle of the measure Sir T. ACLAND said, that if he * were called upon to vote the highest amount of extension, ho should do so on the understanding that he would be at liberty, at any future period, to endeavour to lower,it. Mr. MALINS said his mind was not yet made up as to the amount to which the house tax should be in creased, and -he should, therefore, vote for this resolu tion, on the understanding that this question would b.- discussed afterwards ; and he hoped honourable mem bers on that side of the house would follow his example. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that hon. members voting for these resolutions was simply voting materials for a bill, and it would be per fectly open for any hon. gentleman making objections to the future details of that bill. Mr. W. PATTEN then proceeded to read the resolu• LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.—DEc. 18. (Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices.) IN RE THE MONMOUTH AND GLAMORGAN BANKING CON PANY, EX PARTE CAPE'S EXECUTORS. This appeal from the Master of the Rolls was brough, before the full Court, instead of the Lords Justices,-fromits being made to rest on a decision of the Lord Justice Knight Bruce in Sanderson's case, when sitting as a vice chancellor. John Cape held 105 shares in the company, and by a decision of Master Farrer his executor was held liable, under the Winding-up Act, to contribute to the discharge of the debts of the company, and ordered to pay a call of 601. per share on the 105 shares. The com pany was formed in August, 1835, with a capital of 500,0001. in 211. shares. Great losses were incurred, and in January, 1852, an order was obtained for wind ing-up its affairs. Cape had purchased his shares in 1841, and it appeared that some of the debts of the com pany proposed to be paid out of the contributing money had been incurred previously to the date of his transfers. It was, therefore, contended th a t hi s li a bility ex tended only to debts incurred after the transfer- of the shares, and that if held liable at all it ought to be with such a qualification as would save his estate from any contribution except for debts incurred after he became a shareholder. The Master of the Rolls held, however, that Master Farrer was right in making the executor liable for all the debts of the company. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment. It was quite clear that the law made no difference between a partner ship with two or three persons and a partnership with one hundred. The same rules applied to both. This banking company was not, however, a common partner ship, because it expressly referred to the act of the 7th Geo. IV., c. 46, and incorporated it in its deed of settle ment. Under that act the public officer of a company alone could be sued ; under that act the shareholders of the company were liable 'to all the creditors, and therefore there was an essential difference between a partnership of a joint-stock company and that of a common one. Supposing that there was nothing in the deed of such a company with regard to liability, his lordship apprehended that every purchaser of a share in such companies, buy ing in the market, took the share in the property just as it stood at the time of the sale, with all its liabilities. Now, here there was a capital of 500,000/., in 201. shares, and if that which was contended for could prevail, there must be an account taken of the debts and liabilities of the partnership on the sale of a single share. If the contention was right, every single purchaser would have a right to an inquiry whether it was for past expenditure or future wants that a call on him was made on account of his share. Could any of these great concerns be carried on - under such a state of circum stances ? Certainly not. And there was nothing in the deed before the Court, that his lordship could find to warrant such an assumption. It would be a very strong case indeed that would induce the Court to hold that a purchaser of shares did not come into the company as a sharer of all its liabilities. Look at the Stock Exchange, where these securities are sold as investments. Did not every one know that they were so sold according to the public opinion of their solvency as far as the accounts were made public ? Here the capital was 500,0001., but if 400,0001. of that had been spent, the purchaser of a share at the price of the day must know that he has to furnish his quota to make good the capital. But in this case there was a reserved fund, and if the pur chaser had a right to a proportion of that fund as a gain, he had also a proportionate liability to the payment of debt. The clauses that had been urged as taking the case out of the general rule were, in his lordshipis opinion, strongly in favour of it. The 60th clause had been mainly relied on. It was worded most accurately in the common form of conveyancing, and could not have the construction put upon it. No man became a pro prietor until be had executed the deed, and after he did so he became a partner, and was bound by all its cove nants. It was not from the time he executed the deed, but from the commencement of the operation of the deed itself, that the partnership was to date, an,d from that date he had all the benefits. If that court was now to decide otherwise, a blow of a most fatal kind would be struck at all the dealings in shares of these companies, which every day were bought and sold and made the medium of large investments, In conclusion, his lord ship said that he had no doubt whatever on the nature of the contract, or on the responsibility of the executor, and he thought the appeal must be dismissed with costs. The Lords Justices concurred. The Lord Chancellor added that the deed of transfer was in accordance with the view the court had taken of the case. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC: 15. BEETS AND OTHERS (EXECUTORS) V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY CO. This was an action, under Lord Campbell's Act, by the plaintiffs, as executors of Mr. Josiah Groves, a tailor, at Portsea against the defendants, t o recover f or Mr. Groves' family compensation in damages for his death, which was occasioned by an accident on the de fendants' railway, through the negligence of the defen dants' servants. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Lush were counsel for the plaintiffs ; and the Attorney-General and Mr. Bovill for the defendants. It appeared that in November, 1851, Mr. Groves, who was a widower, with a family of four children, came to London on business, and at the same time visited a Miss Richards, to whom he was about to be married, and also Dr. Elliotson, whom he consulted for a complaint, attended by spitting of blood, under which he was suffering. On the evening of the 25th November he left London for Port sea by the defendants' railway, and proceeded safely as far as Arundel, when, on passing over a bridge near that town, where there is only one line of rails, in conse quence of the driver's neglecting a signal, the train ran into a luggage train, and the carriage in which Mr. Groves was was overturned and thrown down a bank. The consequence was that Mr. Groves, who was asleep in the carriage at the time the accident happened, was se verely injured on the right temple and on the right side, and, having previously lost his eye-sight, died in great suffering at the end of a fortnight. To prove the serious state of his health, Miss Richards, to whom he was about to be married, was called, and she deposed that he was a fine-looking man, thirty-seven years of age ; that he had been a widower for two years, and had four children, whose ages were respectively eleven, eight, five, and three years. She also produced his portrait in confirmation of her statement as to his healthy looks, and after some opposition from the defendants' counsel, it was handed to the jury for inspection. On cross-ex amination, however, she stated that he had suffered from spitting of blood in the month of June previous to his death, and another illness after a subsequent visit to the Great Exhibition ' and that in the following month of October he had had an attack of apoplexy. His regular medical attendant was Dr. Engledue, of Portsmouth, but as this gentleman had been called in by the defendants to attend him after the accident, he was not examined ; but Dr. Elliotson, whom the deceased had consulted, deposed that in his opinion he might have lived for many years, and read a report to that effect, which he had written to Dr. Engledue after the deceased had consulted him. Mr. Tuke, a surgeon at Arundel, and Mr. Garrington, a surgeon at Portsea, deposed to the state in which they found him after the accident. The latter, who made a post mortern, examination, stated that he found the lungs congested from recent inflammation, inflammation in the pleura, apoplectic cyst in the brain, an enlarged heart with a thickened ventricle, a little water in the abdomen, the ankles slightly swelled and dropsical, and the kidneys small and affected with cystic disease. This gentleman also deposed that he thought i nflammat i on an d congest i on were c auses of the death, and that most probably the they resulted from the accident. Mr. Adams, surgeon treatise on diseases of the heart, deposed that, in their and Dr. Billing, author of a of the deceased neither caused his death nor were to irnei theo inconsistentn l : o t n h d e n wenlargementith Hospital, a long of the heart and other ail mentssuch a nature as an invalid insurance office would have required a higher premium for than usual. It was life, though they were of further deposed that the profits of his business were worth 8001. but it foreman had succeeded hi m upon pay i ng 8001 . f or the giving stock, and without appeared that the deceased's late the business. anything for the good-will of The Lord Chief Justice told the jury they must con fine their verdict to such damages as would compensate the children of the deceased for the pecuniary loss they had sustained by the ' death of their father, and that they must further apportion that loss between the children. The jury retired, and then returned with a verdict for the plaintiffs for 2,000/., which the counsel on each side agreed should be equally divided between the children. Messrs. Bevan and G oo d eve, o f Old J ewr y, were th e plaintiffs' solicitor s ; Messrs. Sutton and Co. for the Railway Compa ny. Mr. Sergeant Byles expressed a confident hope that, in that court, b e f ore very long, as cheaply as in the with his lordship's kind assistance, a trial might be had County Courts. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, Dec. 15. Wallace Ramey, OLD COURT. 30, law student, who was remanded from last ses s i on orders for the session , was indicted for forging and uttering Payment of money, with intent to defraud Mrs. Wood. Mr . Parry addressed the Court at great length for the defence, stating that the prisoner had acted in a perfectly business-like Way in his transactions with the prosecutor. Mr. Parry then proceeded to call witnesses for the de fence ; after which, Mr. Cockerell addressed the jury for the prosecution, imputing perjury to the witnesses for the defence. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. (LEFT SITTING.) tions. (CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—THIS DAY. THIRD COURT. ASSAULT ON THE HIGH SEAS. (Before the Common Sergeant.) William Harrison, 40, mariner, was charged with violently assaulting a seaman, named Bonaventura, whilst on his way from Calcutta to London in the ship Clontarf, of which the prisoner was captain. The evidence went to show the constant occurrence of disputes between the crew and captain during the whole voyage, and especially during the latter portion of it, as many as 16. of the crew having been flogged three or four times over. With regard to the offence now charged, several wit nesses were examined ; among others, Charles James Brennan, who deposed that he came from India to England in the Clontarf, working his pas sage as a common seaman. He had been a compounder of medicine in the medical college of Calcutta, and had been assistant to the surgeon of the 11th Rifles in the Indian army for 12 years, having been three times wounded. On the day in question Bonaventura was ordered to the wheel. Told the witness so and went aft. Witness looked under a sail, and saw the captain strike Bonaventura on the arm with a boarding pike. Afterwards the captain snatched a whip from one of the boys, and waved it several times over Bonaventura, but could not tell whether he struck him again. Bona ventura put out his hand and begged for forgiveness. Bonaventura went forward to the wheel • the captain foll Owed, and struck him with the whip three or four times. Witness examined Bonaventura's arm two or three hours afterwards, and found it broken above the elbow. Was at first afraid to tell the captain. When he did so, the captain said, "It's broken, is it ? Show me where ; or you'll find it out." Witness was himself confined for three days by the captain's orders. Did not know what for. Had taken no part in exciting the crew to disobey the captain. The captain also split my lip. -. Mr. Robertson, for the defence, contended that the conduct of the crew had been mutinous from the first moment of their being shipped ; that there had been threats to break the captain's legs, and even to fire the ship. The learned gentleman was about to call his wit nesses when we went to press. SHERIFFS COURT.-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Wm. Burchell.) SNOW V. CAHILL. This was an action on a promissory note for 131. De fendant denied the making of the note. The plaintiff's attorney said, unfortunately, he could not give direct evidence of the handwriting, but must rely upon a letter sent by the defendant, enclosing the note. The Under-Sheriff said, that as the defendant did not appear to support his plea, the jury might infer the de. fendant signed the note. The jury gave a verdict for the amount. HILL V. JOHNSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 1501. on a bond. The defendant's attorney appeared, not to offer any defence, nor to consent to a verdict ; the fact was 201. been paid, and he had taken out a judge's summons and offered to pay the 1301., which for some reason was re fused. The plaintiff's attorney said, they would take a ver dict for 1301., the difference was, in reality, one of costs. He then submitted that, under the New Common Law Procedure Act, he was entitled to nominal damages on the breach of the bond. The Under-Sheriff ruled to the contrary ; and the fury gave a verdict for 1301. THE MARQUIS OF ABERCORN V. MATTHEWS. This was also an action on a bond, but the record w withdrawn. MARLBOROUGH STREET-(THIS .DAY.) CHARGE OF FRAllD.—Frederick White, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham charged with obt a i n i ng the sum of 10s. by false and fraudulent pretences. Corporal Wesson, of the Royal West Middlesex Mili tia, stated that on Tuesday last; the prisoner enlisted in the above regiment. Witness received his name and address, which he took down in writing, and on finding them correct, the prisoner was sworn in at this Court on the same day, and received the usual bounty of 10s. from the Sergeant-Major. The prisoner at the time he was sworn in, stated that he did not belong to any other Militia,. Sergeant-Major Belcher said he paid the prisoner the bounty money of 10s. on the 14th instant, and from in formation which he subsequently received, that he be longed to the Hampstead division of the East Middlesex Militia, he (witness) communicated with the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner had since confessed to having previously enlisted in the East Middlesex Militia. The prisoner had nothing to say in defence. Mr. Bingham said he had to deliver judgment in a similar case to-morrow, and should, therefore adjourn the present case till then. • THE NEW MEDALS OF THE EMPIRE.—Three new medals are now being struck at the Imperial Mint. All three have on the face the effigy of Louis Napoleon, with these words :—" Napoleon 111., Empereur." On the reverse of one of them is an eagle, surmounted by the Imperial Crown with rays, and holding in its claws an escutcheon, on which is inscribed the number of votes on the 21st November, 7,824,129. Round the eagle are the mottoes :—" Suffrage universel, 21, 22 Nov., 1852. —Rdtablissement de l'Empire." On another is on one side the bust of the Emperor, and on the reverse the fol lowing inscription :—" Plebiscite du 21 Nov., 1852. Le Liberateur de la France, Louis Napoleon proclam6 Em pereur des Francais par 7,824,182 voix, le 2 Dec., 1852." On the third there are on the two face the busts of Na poleon I. and of Napoleon 111. SCOTTISH CENTRAL AND MIDLAND JUNCTION RAIL WAYS.—It is reporti that negotiations are in progress for an amalgamation of the Scottish Central and Mid land Railways.—Scotsnuzn. THE NEW CUNARD STEAM-LINER ARABIA. The splendid new steam-ship Arabia, Captain Judkins, for the Liverpool, and New York Royal Mail Service, was tried down the Frith of Clyde on Saturday last, and gave entire satisfaction. The length of the Arabia is 285 feet, keel and forerake ; beam, 41 feet ; depth, 28 feet ; tonnage, by custom-home measurement, 2,393 37-100th tons. Among the party on board we observed the Hon. and Very Rev, the Dean of Ripon ; Captain Kingcombe, R.N., and officers of her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Simoon, Captain Montressor, and officers of the 82d Regiment, at present stationed in Glasgow ; Mr. Dinnen, Admiralty engineer inspector ; Mr. Waterman, Admiralty shipwright surveyor; Messrs. Robert Napier, Robert Steele, inn., George Burns, James Burns, John Bu rns , Th omas Buchanan, James Wright, J. A. Ander s o n , J. G. Kinnear ; Captain Douglas, Mr. E. D. James, postmaster ; and Mr. Archd. Gibson, secretary to the Caledonian Railway. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, we were glad to see a number of ladies present. The Arabia immediately proceeds to Liverpool, whence she carries the mails of the Ist of January to the United States. The Venerable Dean of Ripon informed the company that he was on board Fulton's experimental little vessel when she was tried on the American waters some 48 years ago. She was a tiny, fragile craft, and being with out paddle-boxes, threw so much water on board as almost to drown the small number of persons who were courageous enough to make the excursion. Now he was on board the Arabia, which was i n every sense o f t h e word a floating palace, possessing every requisite for safety, and all the conveniences, comforts, and even the luxuries of life. Such was the immense march of im provement in the experience of one man ; and he might add, that it would not be rash to predict that some of the younger members present might yet witness as great an improvement over the magnificent "Arabia " as he himself had seen over Fulton's first attempt.—Glasgow Herald. MR. BARTLEY.—This veteran comedian will take a farewell benefit at the Princess's Theatre next Saturday, as Falstaff in Henry IV., under the patronage of her Ma jesty. The day will be the 50th anniversary of his first appearance on the stage. After the play Mr. Bartley will address the audience on his final retirement from the and an to which he has so long been a credit CARGOES OF GOLD.—The Lady Flora, which sailed `rom Port Phillip on the 4th August for London with (7,500 ounces of gold, valued at 310,0001. sterling, put nto Rio Janeiro on the 16th October, and sailed for London on the 28th idem. The second mate had been detected pilfering some gold, and sent home under arrest. The Emperor, with 8,000 ounces of gold from Sydney, has put into Monte Video in a leaky state, and this amount of the precious metal has been transferred to her Majesty's steamer Plumper, for conveyance to England. COAL IN THE SOVEREIGNTY.—We are in possession of a coal, which may be obtained in abundance on the Sandt River, district of Winburg. This coal appears to us to be of first-rate quality ; and we were led to indulge in one of our school-boy pastimes—that of making gas by means of a tobacco-pipe. When the town of Bloemfon tein shall have attained to a more compact shape, we hope to have our stores, streets, &c., lighted with gas. We understand that certain boers in the vicinity of the mines, are ready to transport any quantity hither at 10s per muid. Should use be found for any extensive supply we doubt not that it could be obtained at a more econo mical rate.—Cape Town, Mail, Nov. G. MOVEMENT AGAINST THE BUDGET.—The Town Coun cil of Edinburgh and the Chamber of Commerce yester day resolved to send up petitions against the Budget, the resolution being unanimous in both bodies, and the Conservative members being as zealous and decided as the Liberals. The Lord Provost's speech is an able exposition of the oppressiveness of the house duty. A similar resolution was come to at the meeting of the Town Council of Portobello on Monday.—Scoteman of Wednesday. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YORK, DEC. 13. John Hugh -^ CROWN COURT. Hughes, aged 17, and James Butler, aged 23, havingwere charged with h av i ng committed a highway robbery, with violence, upon one dward Bowyer, and stealing from him 19s. 3d. in money and one knife. Mr.: Price appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoners were undefended. It appeared that the prosecutor is the landlord of the Victoria Hotel, in York ; and on the night of Tuesday, the 14th of September last, he called at a public-house called the City Arms, kept by a man named Charles Gibson; thinking that he should see there some Irishmen who owed him some money. He. went into the kitchen, where there were about a dozen men assembled, and sat down near the door; and whilst there he observed amongst the men, the prisoners and a boji named Edward Hardcastle. After staying about three-quarters of an hour he left the house, and proceeded up Walmgate to wards his "own home, but when he got a little way on his road, opposite a butcher's shop, kept by a man named King, he wasjostled liy several persons, and his hat was knocked off, and ran away with. He,. however, proceeded on until he met a policeman, who returned with him to look after his hat, which they could not find. Shortly after they saw in Hotham-lane a dozen men, one of whom was the prisoner Butler. The boy Hardcastle then came up, and said he would see the prosecutor home, and accordingly went with him, but when they arrived opposite King's shop, in Walmgate, Hughes, and a man named Masser, came up and said, " That is the chap that was in Charley Gibson's," and gave him his hat. They then went up Walmgate, the prosecutor and boy following, and when they came to an entry, the prisoner Hughes and Masser told the boy to go on, as they would see the prosecutor home. Th e b o y then went away with Masser, and the two prisoners followed the prosecutor towards his house. When they arrived near the Spotted Cow public-house, the prosecutor heard foot steps behind him, and the prisoners having come up, Hughes seized his neckerchief and twisted it so as to strangle him, and prevent him giving an alarm, Butler then came up and kicked him in the ribs, and brought him to the ground, and they then rifled his pockets of 18s., some copper, and a knife. The prosecutor then said, " You've taken all the money, Tom don't kill me." Upon which Butler said, " Oh, d—n•him, he knows you," and commenced kicking him on the ground, inflicting severe injuries on his face and various parts of his body, one being a frightful gash under his right eye. They then left him, and shortly afterwards he was able to get up and proceed to his house. A neighbour named Hields, having heard him, helped him into his house and put him to bed. Hields then en deavoured to find out the robbers, and for that purpose he went the next day to Gibson's public-house, and having ordered a bottle of ginger beer, purposely broke the cork into the bottle ; he then asked if any of the company could lend him a knife to take it out, upon which Butler took a knife out of his pocket and lent it, and Hields directly recognized it as being the prose cutor's knife. Butler was then given into custody, and Hughes was subsequently apprehended, when he denied having been at Gibson's that night. His lordship having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. His lordship then ordered sentence of death to be recorded, intimating that their lives would be spared. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mary Daly, a strong young Irishwoman, who has been long known as an object of terror in Bishopsgate-street, was charged with having dragged about a German Jew, named Moses Sapie, by the beard. The poor Jew, who could hardly speak word of English, said, through an interpreter, who understood the language very little better, that as he was passing through Bishopsgate-street, on the night before, the de fendant walked up to him, and, seizing him by the beard, shook him like thunder. He did not wish to have any dispute with a person of her description, but as the as sault was a great indignity, and as every one who wore a beard in the neighbourhood was in danger from such a virago, he resolved to complain to the authorities. As soon as she saw that the foreigner was in earnest she be gan to kick at him, and if she had not been overpowered would have done a great deal of serious mischief, judging from the direction of her kicks. The defendant said in her defence that the complainant had disgraced her by calling her a " bloomer," and she thought it a much greater reflection upon a woman to say that she wore a pair of breeches, than it was upon a man to pull him by the beard. Alderman Hunter—That defence won't do. Your de lic:-.cy could not receive any great shock if you were called a " bloomer." You are aware that we all know you well. Besides this poor foreigner knows nothine , about " bloomers." Interpreter, ask him whether he knows what , a ".bloomer" is ? _ . Interpreter—Moses, Lord Mayor sayvot is de broomer, (Laughter) ? The complainant looked astonished, and shook his head. Interpreter—Oh, your lordship, he aint got no good knowledge of English. He don't know nothing at all. Alderman Hunter —Ask him whether a " bloomer" is a horse or an elephant. The interpreter, after having held a conversation with the complainant in Hebrew for some time, told the al derman that Moses did not know whether it was a horse or an elephant, but if it was an elephant he certainly did not see one in Eishopsgate-street last night. (Great laughter.) The Lord Mayor —I sentence you, defendant, to hard labour in Bridewell for one month, for this most gross assault upon the poor foreigner. A few minutes after the defendant was sent away in the custody of the officer into whose charge she had been given, she was brought back for having pitched into his face right and left, and given him a stunner behind with a heavy-soled boot. Alderman Hunter—At the end of her imprisonment for the first offence let her be brought up to answer for the second charge. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would ac knowledge his receipt of 1/. 10s. from C. G. for the poor box. CLERKENWELL.---LSainuel Burt, the driver of a !abriolet, No. 220, appeared to a summons before Mr. 7yrwhitt, charged with plying for hire at the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, King's-cross. Mr. Humphries attended on the part of the railway company. James Beringer, cabriolet proprietor of Snow's-fields, Bermondsey, deposed that on the 9th of December he arrived by train from Barnet, and within the station of the Great Northern Railway the defendant plied for hire, and drove him to Bagnigge-wells-road. On setting him down he told him that he was going to summon him for illegally plying for hire within the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, that not being a place ap pointed by the police commissioners. Mr. Humphries, in an able and l eng th ene d a dd ress, contended that the railway terminus was private pro perty, and he felt confident as to the dismissal of the complaint. The worthy magistrate remarked that he had no ob jection to state his opinion, although it would differ from that of other magistrates for whom he had the highest respect. The important question at issue must neces sarily go to a higher tribunal, and would probably end in a legislative enactment beneficial to the public. There often arose much difficulty in construing an act of Par liament, but that went for nothing among well-informed persons. As a remarkable instance, the Court of Queen's Bench differed with the judges of the Ex chequer on the construction of the Vagrant Law, the consequences of which had been, that magistrates who are desirous to be guided by the decisions of the superior courts are at a loss how to act, and finally are driven to act on their own opinion, at the risk of having it overruled by whichever court happens to be of a contrary opinion. The decision of the summons, to his thinking, turned on the 6th and 7th Vic., chap. 86, sec. 33, imposing penalties on the driver of a hackney carriage plying for hire elsewhere than at a standing or place appointed for that purpose. Now, plying for hire, it is said by some eminent men, can only be legal on the regular stands appointed in public places by the commissioners of police. From that he dissented. Why were stands appointed at all ? Was it not to enable the public to know where to obtain a conveyance, and preserve order, and prevent obstruction in places requir ing the most convenience and free circulation ? On looking at the acts now in force, it was to be seen that the Ist and 2d Wm. IV., cap. 22, sec. 4, gave power over hackney carriages, as far as regards place, in these words—" Every carriage standing or plying for hire in any public street or road, at any place within the dis tance of five miles from the General Post-office," and so on through the sections ; but by the 33d section of 6 and 7 Vict., the word " elsewhere' is added, which he held must be taken in its largest meaning, consistent with th e scope and object of that act and th e Ist and 2d Wm. IV. It is laid down by Baron Parke, in Berks v. Wells, and in Re Flammers, and in other instances by learned judges, that in the construction of a statute we should adhere to the ordinary meaning of the words used, and to the grammatical construction, unless it be at evident variance with the intention of the Legislature. Taking these facts altogether, he would say that it was quite consistent with the intention of the law that " elsewhere" should be taken to mean " standing or plying for hire," &c., as set forth by the Ist and 2d William IV., and he could see no reason td believe that the Legislature ever intended or contemplated the pun ishing of a " plying for hire" on private property, or, in fact, applied those terms to any such act not done in public places. He viewed all persons within a rail way company's gate, carrier's yard, a great shipping wharf, builders' or ironinasters' works, as upon business or permission, and he was firmly of opinion that a rail way company could give a standing for cabs on its private property to accommodate travellers, with as much right as a nobleman or gentleman could on his estate, and that a standing was not a "plying for hire" within the mean ing of the statute, although they might be so far "plying for hire" as to make them responsible otherwise for offences against the law. He gave great consideration and weight to the case of Paul v. James to show that "place" in an act of Parliament will not necessarily include a private spot which can be and is shut up at the will of the owner ; therefore he did not consider the police commissioners empowered to appoint stands thereon, even though used in some respects as a "public resort." Using those words in an unlimited sense, it had been argued that the same auth or ity m i g ht a l so fix standings under the orchestra at Vauxhall, the drives of Hyde park, the pit of the Opera, or the arena at Astley's. It appeared very clear to him that considerable inconve nience and loss to the public would arise unless the cabs were under the sanction and control of railway companies, who were liable for losses by the negligence or misconduct of drivers, and did not seek to profit by them ; but on the other hand their anxious de sire appeared to be to obtain as respectable a class of men about them as they could to protect the public as far as regulations and management can go. He lamented being called on to state his views on the sub ject, as it was a course calculated to create prejudice, confusion, and illiberal comments. However, he thought it better not to adjourn the case, which he should decide in favour of the railway company. He might mention, for the solicitor, that an important case ii standing for judgment on the words "county" or "place," between the county of Northumberland and the borough of Tynemouth, which might materially touch this question. He regretted that parties should be hawking the subject about in the various police courts to get the opinions of the magistrates. The case was then dismissed, . PRICES OF SHARES.
