EVEN ING SUN THE TOWER. Wednesday.the visitors to the Tower of London, for the purpose of viewing the ruins of the Ar moury., and making purchases of the relics secured after the late fire, exceeded in number those of the two preceding days, which is doubt less attributable to the more favourable state of the weather. Although large bodies of soldiers and labourers have been employed for the last three weeks in clearing out the basement of the ruins their task is not yet completed, a consider able quantity of fused gun barrels, metal, &e„ being still remaining in them. The western wall of the Armoury has been condemned as unsafe by the Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, and a scaffold has been erected at that end of the ruins for the purpose of pulling it down. The Board of Ordnance have preremptorily refused all applications, even iiicluding those of the officers of the garrison, and the warders who rendered such efficient service on the night of the fire in saving the Crown jewels, &c., for relics; and on Monday the following notice was posted in the ruins :—" Numerous applications having been made for leave to take away small articles from the ruins, which the Board of Ordnance did not think proper to comply with, upon the principle of gratuitous distributions, they have authorised the sale of them at mode ratc prices, in order 'that the desire to possess them may be gratified.—R. BS nor, Secretary." The sale alluded to is conducted under two mar quees, erected in the Small-arm Survey-room, between the Bowyer and Brick Towers. The prices affixed to the relics, so far from being " moderate," aie most exorbitant; for instance, 6d. is charged for half-a-dozen old gun-flints, the same charge is made for a small quantity of burnt percussion caps. Pieces of fused iron and other metal vary between Is. and 205., which latter is the maximum price. The beautifid Maltese brass gun, saved during the raging of the fire by Capt. Davis, is exhibited to the visitors in Queen Eli zabeth's Armoury, the prison of Sir Walter Ra leigh. The whole of the large cannon forming the Train of Artillery, were also placed in pro minent positions in the ruins for the inspection of the public. In this Journal of the 27th ult., were shown the particular pieces of ordnance de stroyed by the fire, either wholly or partially. The following are those which have escaped injury—namely, a 42-pounder brass cannon, fifteen feet long, brought from Java in 1811 ; this was also saved from the fire at the Reposi tory, Woolwich, some years since. A brass gun of the time of Charles 11., remarkable on account of its extraordinary proportions. Two 1-pounder brass guns highly ornamented, pre sented by the Earl of Leicester to the young Duke of Gloucester, son of Queen Anne, who died in his youth in 1700; and the two brass mortars taken at Cherbourg, 1758, weighing 2,8401 b. &c. The new Jewel-house is ready for the reception of the Crown jewels, and next Monday week is the day appointed for their being again shown to the public. It is a palace compared to the coal.hole where they were formerly viewed. The Board of Ordnance have subscribed 201., and the officers of the garrison have also entered into a, subscription, for the mother of Richard Wyvill, the fireman who was killed by the fall ing of the walls of the Armoury. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Dtc. 6.—ln the sitting of the Chamber of tho Representatives to-day, M. Meerus treated at length the subject which he merely touched upon in the pre ceding sitting, namely, the necessity of creating a real monetary system in Belgium. The Hon. Minister was listened to with very great at tention by the Chamber, especially by the Minister of Finance, who declared in the name of the Government that he was going seriously to consider this subject. The number of witnesses who have been heard in the affair of the conspiracy amounts to 485. The prelimi nary investigations are nearly terminated. GENERAL SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGE- BENT OF THE NATIONAI: The Directors of the General Society have the honour to inform the public that they have ascertained that notes of the General Society for I,ooof. have been fabri cated, probably in England, and sent from London to Belgium, where they arrived yesterday. These notes having been immediately reco gn i se d as f6rgeries at the office where they were presented, the Directors, have reason to believe that there are but few of them, and that there are none in circulation in Belgium. The Directors, however, think it their duty to acquaint the public with this fact, and to state the marks by which the forged I,ooof. notes may be recognised. The stamps are tatliy executed, especially that of the General Society. The General Society applies a moveable stamp at the back of every note, the impression of which on one note nover resembles that on another. In the forged notes, the part of the impression which accompanies them is similar on every note, arid the border of the im pression is much broader than on the genuine note. The paper employed by the forgers is badly imitated ; it is much more opaque, and of a darker blue, inclining to green. The transparent opaque figures are more heavy, and less pure in shape. The most evident sign of forgery, which the public may immediately discover by laying the notes on a table, is that, on the whole of the back of the forged notes, the impression is not to be seen, whereas the back of the genuine notes visibly shows the impres sion of the printed character. All the figures, the num bers, the signatures, and all that is written, are badly your) terfeited. The notes hitherto recognised as forgeries beai• the impression of the following words, applied to the back of those notes, by means of an oval stamp :—" James Belt. Son, and Company, money changers and dealers in bullion, 85 and 86, Cheapside, London." Persons who, notwithstanding these indications, may desire to ascer tain whether the 1,000 franc notes in their hands are genuine, may apply to the office of the General Society, where a dry stamp, and the signature of two of the cashiers, will he immediately affixed to them, unless the bearer prefers changing them for money.

A letter from Paris, quoted by the Prussian State Gazette, mentions a chart of the fortifications of Paris, made by an odicer of artillery, the son of the Vendean Chief Stofflet. This map is said to be extremely curious, as showing the lines of tire commanding different quar ters of Paris and its environs. It pretends to prove that the Palaf!e at Neuilly, the Tuilleries, the Louvre, and the Palais Royal, with the road along the Champs Ely_ sees, are all sate from balls and shells. The St. Petersburgh papers mention several shocks of earthquake felt in the district of Nachitchevan, between the Ist and Bth of May last, by which, however, not much damage seems to have been dune. On the 31st of August a violent shuck of earthquake was felt at njne- Talid, (Hi the western slope of the Ural mountains, ac companied by a brilliant aurora borealis.

VICE CHANCELLORS' COURT,. Dec: 10. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) SILLICR V. 130:ATFI. This case came on before the Court on exceptions from the Master's report. The bill was filed to egablish a will, and the sole question was, whether two sons of the testator, who embarked in a vessel bound for Demerara, and were never afterwards heard of, were or were not living at the time when their father made his will. His HONOUR, after considering the frequency of hur ricanes in the West Indies, and the absence of all in formation as_ to the sons after their embarkation, said the probability was that they had died in the father's lifetime, and he must therefore allow the exceptions to the Master's report. (Before Vice-Chancellor WICIR m.) SCOTSON V. GA WRIT'. His Hosoult, atter looking at the record, said the plaintiff must be taken to have had sufficient notice of the trial, and for that reason he declined to grant the injunction. of respectable honest, and honourable character, The Learned Counsel then complained of the manner in which the Counsel for the prosecution had conducted the examination of Jones, so as to induce the Jury to sup pose he had been bribed, when, on his cross-examina tion, it appeared that that which, by the dexterous ma nagement of the Attorney-General, had been made to appear a clear case of bribery, was really one of the most legal, honest, and friendly transactions in the world. With regard to the evidence of. Morris, after the Attor ney-General had concluded his examination of the wit ness, after he (Mr. Kelly) had declined to cross-examine him, Morris, fearful he had not earned the wages of his infamy, said, that long after these transactions M'Namara had offered to bribe him to get out of the way. It was utterly false. What interest could M'Namara have to get him out of the way? Besides if Morris had chosen to say the same thing of any one of the Jury, or of his Lordship on the Bench, it would be impossible to contradict him, because he represented that no one else was present, and if juries were to convict a man on the evidence of au unscrupulous villain like that, trial by Jury, instead of being a blessing, would be a curse and an oppression.. Would they convict :any human being upon the testimony of such a viihn as that, who since he had come to years of maturity had lived upon felony ? And would they consign Mr. M'Namara to poverty, ruin, and a gaol, upon the testimony of a wretch like Morris, steeped to the lips in perjury, infamy, and crime ; and yet the Learned Counsel for the Crown called upon the Jury to believe this four times perjured villain. God forbid that the hair of the head of any human being should be touched upon the testimony of such a man. Such evi dence as his was discreditable to any case in the support of which it might be brought forward. Mr. PAYNKsaid that after the able and powerful ad dresses of his Learned Friends who had preceded him, he should say nothing on the general topics of the case. With regard to the indictment, he had never seen it to that hour, for it was so extensive that his client was too poor to go to the expense of procuring a copy of it. There had been 52 witnesses examined, and six long lists given in, and the prisoners had never been furnished with co pies of the depositions of those witnesses or with copies of those lists. He appeared for two of the defend ants, Silverthorne and Powell. The evidence against Silverthorne was confined to the testimony given by the tainted lips of that unblushing wholesale per jurer Morris, .who, as the Attorney-General had mildly phrased it, had been a participator in the offence. Was such the mild manner in which the highest law officer of the Crown ought to have characterised the conduct of such a man ? Not any other witness had men tioned Silverthorne's name, and by all the rules ofjustiee and common sense they could not convict Silverthorne on the testimony of such an infamous man as Morris. With regard to Powell, Christie, who had been employed by the prosecutor in hunting up witnesses, said, he saw Morris and Powell together during the election. That proved nothing, any more than his being seen speaking to M'Namara. Fitch saw Powell once go to tho poll booths, but did not see him vote—that proved nothing. The strongest evidence against Powell was that of Harker, but no act of any individual could support a conspiracy. As to Powell's identity, he had never seen Powell be fore the election, and Harker, who had taken 1,000 votes at the election, might, without casting the least imputation on his character for veracity, be supposed to be mistaken as to his identity. He put it to the Jury whether it was not impossible for them to say that the case against Silverthorn and Powell had been made out. Mr. HEATON, on behalf of the defendant Trye, submitted that there was no evidence to prove conspiracy against his client. If he were interested in showing that it was not true that Trye had falsely represented himself as a livery man of London, he thought he should be able to show them that there was not evidence sufficient to convict him of that act, because he contended it was impossible for any man situated as Harker was, to be very certain as to the identity of every one of the thousand or fifteen hun dred persons whose votes he had taken, ; and if not, was there any reason why he should recollect Trye in particu lar? He did not even recollect the day Trye had voted, how could they then suppose that he was accurate in his re collection of the person ? He did not cast any imputa tion on the integrity of Harker, but he doubted his accu racy. Besides, no sufficient proof had been given that he was not a liveryman. The Clerk of the Livery knew nothing of any W. Tyre having been ever on the livery; and, subsequently, one of the witnesses for the prosecution proved that there had been a W.Trye a liveryman, who was dead. Now if it were possible for one W.Trye to have been a Liveryman without appearing in the clerks' lists, why might not two , others ? But the question was not whe ther he had committed perjury—whether he had falsely represented himself as a liveryman, but whether he had conspired with the other defendants. Now there was not a tittle of evidence to connect Trye with any other of the defendants, and therefore he was entitled to be ac quitted of the present charge. On Mr. CHADWICK JONES rising to address the Jury on behalf of Brookes, Lord DENMAN said that he found there was no evi dence whatever against James Brookes, and therefore he must be acquitted. Brookes was acquitted accordingly. Mr. THOMAS then addressed the Jury for the defend ants Murray, Hogg, and Shervill, and congratulated the Jury on his being the last Counsel to address them. The whole case against his clients rested entirely on the uncorroborated testimony of Morris. The first witness who named any of c . his clients, was Harker, and he en tirely concurred with his Learned Friends in the obser vations they had mach on his testimony. The conduct pursued in identifying the prisoners in the Bench, was improper and unfair. The Jury should recollect that they were trying the defendants not for perjury, but for con spiracy, and Harker's evidence left that point untouched. The only evidence which touched Hogg was the fact of his having changed some sovereigns for silver, with which he had paid the men ; what men it did not appear; it might have been a legal payment to men for carrying boards. He submitted: that there was not evidence enough to fix on any one of his clients the crime of conspiracy, and that therefore they were entitled to an ac quittal. He asked them to strike out the evidence of Morris, and then there would be no evidence to convict his clients No man could be safe if the testimony of such a dis gusting beast as Morris could be admitted. The way in which this indictment had been managed was op • pressing poor men, because it was impossible for them to obtain a copy of such a voluminous production under a cost of at least 18/. The other defendants declined to address the Jury, and no witnesses were called. Lord DENMAN,in summing up, could not forbear re marking that the principal offence with which these persons were charged, was with taking a false oath, and the Act of Parliament expressly provided for the minish ment of perjury and subornation of perjury in such cases, and he thought it would have been better to have indicted these persons for such acts, even if it had been necessary to indict these eighteen persons for con spiracy. It would have been much better to have in dicted them generally and shortly than to have indicted them in such an indietmOnt as the present, containing eighteen counts, of which he doubted if any one was proved. He would go through the counts, and he hoped the Counsel for the prosecution would state on-which counts they intended to rely. (His Lord ship then went through the different counts of the in dictment up to the ninth, none of which lie considered proved.) The ninth was a most curious one, it indicted Trye for conspiring to bribe himself. The 14th and 17th counts seemed to him to be the only counts on which there was nny evidence (the Attorney General inti mated his assent) ; those counts were to provide by false, fraudulent, and corrupt practices to procure the election of Gibbs, and the 1 ith, by the same means to prevent the election of Mr. Ledger. The defendant Simpson had applied for a particular of the charge, and it was stated it was for procuring persons to vote far Gibbs who had no right to vote, and for procuring per sone to personate voters. Now, lie hardly thought there was any evidence to show any conspiracy. Nothing could be more proper than that the facts should be brought rorward as matters of criminal charge, but he regretted it hail, not been don e with gre a t er simplicity: There was nothing to . show that this was a measure adopted by a disappointed candidate, and therefore no imputation could be cast upon the prosecution on that score. He would merely observe in passing, that if a similar practice had been adopted on the other side, he hoped it would alscOhe made the subject of judicial inquiry, but in a more simple manner than had been adopted on the present . iiccasion. .His Lordship then proceeded to read the evidence of the different witnesses. On reading the evidence of Harker, his Lordship observed, that -the first introduction of Morris was in the actual commission of that crime which he had subsequently charged on others. On coming to the evidence of Cayle, his Lordship said he thought that witness had laid himself open to the observations which had been made upon him. Parties ought to state the whole truth of what had occurred or their testimony would be shaken. With r gird to the non-production of Croucher, who had been *Ledger's agent, perhaps they were afraid,to subject him to a cross examination. If Croucher had been guilty of similar practices, he hoped he would be prosecuted, but he was not before them at present. If they believed the evidence of Perkins, there certainly was a proof that Mr. M‘Narnara had been talking very freely of using unscrupulous means for the purpose of carrying the election. Morris was a witness of a very peculiar description. The evidence of an accomplice was always to be looked at suspiciously ; yet stilt it was admissible evidence, and the Jury must exercise their own judgment in believing, or disbeliev ing, his evidence. The credit due to witnesses was peculiarly a subject for the exercise of the judgment of the Jury. His evidence did not tend at all to implicate Simpson, and it went to implicate M`Narnara only slightly, even if they believed the whole of his testimony. Morris was no doubt a person of most disgusting character. He (Lord Denman) had not been aware of any expres sion of public indignation when Morris had concluded his evidence, or the Court would have checked it. What ever might be the disgust and indignation excited by conduct such as that of Morris, a Court of Justice was not a proper place for giving utterance to such feelings. The evidence of Troume, if they believed it, seemed ma terially to affect the defendant Simpson, although it !did not much touch M'Namara. They hid the whole evidence before them, and it was for them to say if they considered the charge of conspiracy had been brought home to any or all of the defendants. It was evident an extensive system of fiaudulent voting was in operation at the election ; and uts i N f r o i r t e w ai e d r i e u m i a n de cu o r t r i u t I r a it a o n u y t, o it l t d h ebdeeftehtei their duty t o convict them.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 10. (Sittings at, Guildhall before the LORD CHIEY JUSTICE and Common Juries.) CAYARD V. CLARKE. The plaintiff having deposited in the late London and Dublin Joint Stock Banking Company, of which the larger part was drawn out before the stoppage, brought this action against the defendant a 3 a shareholder, for the balance of 151. The verdict was found for the plaintiff, with leave to the defendant to move for a new trial. WEST V. FRANKLIN. This action was brought to recover a balance of 1,0311. 13s. Id. for work and labour done. The circumstances were these :—The plaintiff was employed by the defend ant to alter and repair, upon contract, certain premises iii Hanway-street and Tottenham Court-road. The work specified was contracted for at about 700 L, but considerable deviations were made from the specification in the contract, and the defendant refusing to pay the demand made by West ab3ve the contract, this action was brought. The plaintiff subsequently assigned the alleged debt to a person named Arnott (the real plaintiff in the case),and since that became an insolvent. For the plaintiff, two surveyors stated that they had surveyed the work at his desire, and that they found the specification had been altogether departed from, so that it could not be traced in any part. They estimated the work at a sum which, deducting cash received, would leave the balance laid in the declaration. For the defendant it was endeavoured to show that there had been a special contract for every alteration ; and that the plaintiff had actually been paid more than he was entitled to relbeive according to those fresh contracts. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL interrupted the defence, by observing that he, on the part of the plaintiff, was quite willing to refer the case. He agreed with Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, who was for the defendant, that it was im possible to come to a satisfactory decision of such cases in Court. A reference had been recommended by Coun sel in the first instance, but their advice had not been taken. He believed, moreover, that the defendant was now disposed to yield to the suggestion. The defendant was understood to resist the proposition. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said to the defendant's witness in the box, a Dissenting clergyman—" Sir, could not you influence your friend to take the reasonable course suggested to him ? lam sure it would be best for all parties." The witness declined to interfere, but at length Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said he was gratified at being able to inform his Lordship that a reference had been agreed to. — Thus, after occupying the Court for several hours, and the incurring of vast expense on both sides, the case was disposed of in the manner suggested by Counsel at the outset. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 10. RIDLEY V. WESLEY. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 301., which was drawn by Joseph Wesley, and accepted by his brother William Wesley, a bookbinder, in Warwick square. Mr. PLATT and Mr. JAMES appeared for the plaintiff; and proved the hand-writing of both the drawer and acceptor. The bill was dated Jan. 1,1839, at three months. Mr. THESIGER, for the defendant; said, the answer which the defendant had to give to this case was, that another bill had been given in lieu of the one in ques tion, by which it was rendered of none effect. The facts of the case were these. The defendant had a brother named Joseph, who, being in want of some money, got his brother to accept the bill in question, which was discounted by the defendant, who gave for it 201. 12s. in cash, and a gold watch. Before it became due Joseph Wesley found that he was not prepared to retire it. He applied to the plaintiff, and upon the payment of a bonus of 21., it was agreed that he should take a bill for 301., accepted by Joseph Wesley, in renewal of the other. The renewed bill was given and paid when it arrived at maturity. Joseph Wesley ap plied upon two occasions for the return of the first bill, lout some excuses were made, and it was retained. Now, to account for the delay which had taken place in bringing this action, it was necessary for him to state that most unfortunately the defendant's brother Joseph, who had been in the employment of a firm in Bermondsey, made free with their money. He was arrested, tried, convicted of embezzlement, and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. It was then that the plaintiff; thinking the defendant could bring forward no evidence, attempted to put the former bill in force. An application was made to the Court, and upon the circumstances being brought before them, the trial of the cause was postponed till the term of Jo seph Wesley's imprisonment expired ; of course the evi dence of Joseph would be open to strong and severe com ment on the part of his Learned Friend, but it would be corroborated by a disinterested witness, a clerk in the bank of Messrs. Hankey and Co., and if so, notwith standing his misfortune, the Jury would be bound to be lieve him. Jos. Wesley was called, and proved the facts stated. In his cross-examination by Mr. PLATT, the Learned Counsel said, " And so you are a convicted felon ?" A Juryman appealed to his Lordship whether that was a fair question. Lord ABlNGER — Certainly it is, as to the credit of the witness. The Juryman—lle has expiated his guilt by serving out the time of his imprisonment. The clerk from Ilankey's could prove nothing, except from the books of the firm. They were not in his hand writing. Mr. THESIGER—On our application to the bankers we were told this was the clerk who could prove all. Lord AnINGER—The only way to deal with bankers is to subpeena the whole of the clerks. Mr. PLATT animadverted strongly upon the unsup ported testimony of Joseph Wesley, who, he said, was the real plaintiff. His Loausurp having summed up the Jury found for the plaintiff, with damages and interest. CARTER V. BALL. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for false imprisonment and trespass. Mr. THESIGER said the plaintiff was a man in humble life, filling the office of in -door porter at public inns. He was engaged as such by the defendant, who is landlord of the Queen's Head, Newgate-street, and being so engaffed to sleep in the house, he did not tell the defendant that he was a married man. He slept on the defendant's premises up to the 9th of June, on the evening of which day he was induced to sleep at his own lodgings, hoping to get in in the morning without the knowledge of the defendant. He expected the door to he opened next morning at five o'clock by a fellow ser vant, but in place of that he found the defendant up, and the door opened by him. Some conversation took place, and the plaintiff was discharged. It being so early the plaintiff walked about the streets for a time alone' with one of the porters at th e B u ll an d M out h . In the' meantime the defendant had told a policeman to look where the plaintiff went to, and on being informed of it, told the policeman to take him into custoiy, which was done. and the plaintiff taken to the station-house, where the defendant charged him o n susp i c i on o f stealing va rious articles from him. The p r i soner was asked were he liTed, and on being told, the defendant and a police man _went to his lodgings and searched them, even to the pockets of his wife. They took away some duplicates and some knives and forks, which the defendant thought were his. The plaintiff was locked up, and was taken through the streets as a felon he was placed at the telon's bar, before Alderman Brown, who, on hearing the charge, immediately ordered him to be discharged.. Now, character was a most precious thing to all men, but to the plaintiff it was the bread of his family. Though he was poor he must not be trampled upon, and be trusted the Jury would mark their sense of the value of character by the amount of compensation they gave for such outrages. The case was proved by the police employed. In their cross•examination they said the plaintiff; while in cus totly, attempted to escape, and that while before the Ma gistrate the defendant said he did not wish to press upon the plaintiff', but said he had been losing much property, and the plaintiff had no right to sleep out. Mr. &WHEY addressed the Jury in mitigation of da mages. The plaintiff had, by his conduct, brought all the trouble upon himself. He represented himself as an unmaeried 4 man, yet Mr. Ball .found that he was in the habit of pretending to go to his bed in the Queen's Head; and after the family had gone to rest, go out clandes tinely, and stop out all night. Mr. Ball found that much of his property had been taken away, and tindiug such to be th e con d uc t o f t h e plaintiff, was it not natural that he should suspect him ? The conduct of the defendant was most natural, and was the immediate consequence of the conduct of the plaintiff. He submitted that the smallest coin of the realm would amply recom pense the plaintiff. His Lordship having summed up, the Jury found for the plaintiff, Damages, 201. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 10. THE CORNWALL MINES-CAVE ' S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of creditors being appointed for this day, the bankrupt and several witnesses were re-examined. John King, who had been the keeper of Mr. Cave's extensive and valuable gallery of pictures, was examined concerning the removal of paintings and furniture from . the bankrupt's ho use , at G rosvenor -gate, to Carlton Cottage, New Kent-road, in August, 1839, which was his property, but occupied by Mr. Bellamore. He said he understood that a bill of sale had been executed of all the furniture of Grosvenor-gate, in favour, of Mr. Bellamore, by the bankrupt, previous to his departure for the Continent ; and the furniture had been subse quently sold at Oxendon's, but what it realised the wit * ness, e as unable - to state. Mr. Chisholme, a gentleman who had been in partner ship with Mr. Bellamore, said that the bankrupt, had been married in Edinburgh, in February, 1839, and subsequently at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. There had b een deeds of settlement drawn up at the marriage. 'The bankrupt had advanced him and Mr. Bellamore considerable sums of money when they entered upon their partnership. The deeds of settlement were handed in, and Sir C. F. Williams, afterperusingthem, said, it appeared that Mrs. Cave's property amounted to upwards of 2,0001. per annum ; but it was so settled as to be quite independent of the .bankrupt, until her death. After a desultory conversation Sir C. F. WiLuAms desired the attendance of Mr. Cave, who, in reply to the Learned Commissioner, said that he had given 100/. as an outfit to a Reverend Gentleman to canvass for shareholders at Algiers, as he (the Reverend Gentleman) was acquainted with a French c apitalist there, w h o was about to i nves t 100,000/. i n spe culation at that place, and it was considered better to in duce him to take s h ares in the Corn i s h m i nes . Sir C. F. WlL Ltams said he found one item in th e bankrupt's book, under the head " Gifts, loans, &c." Here he found such donations as were unite unbecoming COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH, Dec. 10. CONSPIRACY TO CARRY THE ELECTION OF BRII)GMASTER. THE QUEEN V. WNAMARA AND OTHERS. The Court sat at half-past nine o'clock this morning, when the proceedings in this case were resumed. The Court was crowded as soon as the doors were opened. Mr. JERVIS addressed the Jury on behalf of the de fendant Simpson, and said that he deplored as deeply, and detested as strongly, as his Learned Friend the At tory- General could do, any system of bribery or trickery of the nature alleged to have been committed in the late election for Bridgemaster ; but the question they would have to determine was, not whether perjury had been committed, not whether bribery had been committed, not whether personation had been committed, but whether the defendants had conspired together to procure Gibbs' election by the commission of those crimes —whether this had been in their minds a foregone conclusion, not whether they had taken advantage of circumstances which might have arisen, but whether they had delibe rately concocted a system of bribery, perjury, and per sonation, for the purpose of procuring the election of Gibbs. Now he begged them to look at the character and station of his client, Mr. Simpson. He was a resi dent:in the borough, the ruler or head of the Company of Fellowship Porters, an office to which he had been ap pointed by his fellows in the Company, and this was the gentleman accused by his Learned Friend of these crimes on the testimony of such a witness as Mr. Miller. He complained of the manner in which the indictment had been drawn up. It contained no less than eighteen counts, but the charge resolved itself into two heads, first, a general charge of conspiracy; second, a charge of conspiracy for bribery of good and bad votes. Lord DENMAN—I apprehend the charge of attempt ing to bribe good votes must fall to the ground. It ap pears that only one good voter had received money, and he said lie did not consider he received it for his vote, but for what he had been employed to do. The Attorney-General bowed assent. Lord DENMAN—I mention this now because it is ex ceedingly desirable to simplify this most monstrous in dictment before it goes to the Jury. Mr. JEitsas continued—He was surprised that not more than 150 bad votes had been polled, considering the loose and careless system adopted in the City of London in taking these votes, and they had good reason for concluding that quite as many had been 'polled on the other tide, for if that had not been the case, why had not the prosecution produced Mr. Croucher or Mr. Thompson ? Mr. Simpson had long been a friend of Mr. Gibbs, and he had taken the room at the Bell, which was used as a Committee-room, and which was always crowded by Mr. Gibbs' friends. Because a man was sitting in a room as one of a Committee, was he to be held responsible for every thing that any one else might be doing, and to be charged with conspiring to procure the electionby bribery, perjury, and personation. This was a new reading of the doctrine of agency. Was it probable that a man, sitting openly as a Com mittee man, having taken the room himself, would be guilty openly of such practices ? And on what testimony was it sought to convict him ? On that of a man who, as one of the Jury had justly observed, had so disgraced and degraded himself in the eyes of the public, that it was useless to question him ; and yet except upon the testimony of Morris there was no evidence to convict any one of the defendants of con spiracy ; and that was the charge they had then to try, and not that of personation or perjury ; and he could well believe that the system of paying for the day's work, which was not illegal in the present in stance, might have induced these unfortunate men, some of whom perhaps had wives and families in destitution, to have adopted the system of personation which had been pursued, and by which he could well believe the Committee might have been deceived. Would they convict the defendants on the testimony of a man who acknowledged he had four times deliberately per jured himself—who had four times been committed on suspicion of theft, and once as a rogue and vagabond— who shamelessly acknowledged, in the face of the open Court, that he had lived upon the prostitution of his wife— and whose conduct had excited such disgust, that not even the respect due to his Lordship and the Court could restrain the expression of deep and general indignation with which he was greeted at the conclusion of his evi dence? and that was the witness brought forward by the City of London. Was he not justified in considering this the prosecution of Mr. Ledger and not of the City of London, when he saw the testimony by which it was supported? He could not believe that the City of Lon don would insult the Court and disgust the public by putting such a witness into the box, and with the ex ception of his testimony what was there to prove con spiracy ? They had even attempted to make out the charge, by showing that one Simpson and M`Namara were seen speaking together in the Hall. Why, if that were the case, he wondered that the witness Harker had not been included in the indictment, for he had spoken in the Hall to the defendant Shervill. In all me other cases the persons had been introduced to Mr. Simpson by the names by which they had voted, and by i their Companies, and how was he to suspect that these per • suns were not voting in their real names ? Then as to the payment of these persons ; he denied that it was bribery ; it might be treating, but it was legal in the present instance. It was merely what took pla , e at all elections of this sort, the paying of the men their daily pay for the loss of their day's work. But there was not even evidence of this on which the Jury could act. Not one of the wit nesses to that fact but what had acknowleged he had fur 7s. 6J. risked his immortal soul by perjuring himself. Had they been convicted of perjury their evidence could not have been taken, and could they trust their evidence because they stood self-convicted of infamy ; the parchment record only being wanted to prevent their ever polluting the• wieness box of a Court of Justice by their presence ? Not a single untainted witness had been brought forward to depose to any of these acts. He could not conclude his address without commenting on the manner in which the prosecution had been conducted. There had been the most studious desire to prosecute and harass the un fortunate defendants, and to procure their conviction by any and every means. As an instance, he would men tion the conduct of Cayle, who, failing to obtain anS'thing by his threats, went with another witness, expressly sent to the Bench to drink and smoke with two of die defendants, in hopes to wheedle and coax out of them something like a confession. There was no evidence of any conspiracy and .concert, except from the .polluted evidence of Morris, and even that did not touch Mr. Simpson. He regretted as much as his Learned Friend could the system of personation which had been adopted, but he must consider that such a prosecution as this, emanating as it did from the disappointment of .Mr. Ledger, and supported as it had been by such testimony, was not calculated to repay it. Mr. KELLY, on behalf of Mr. M‘Nainara, put it to the ' Jury whether they would, by their verdict, stamp him, a luau hitherto of irreproachable character, with that in famy arid degradation which would most justly be his !ot if he had been guilty of the crime laid to his charge. lie r,:gretted and detested, as much as any man could do. the system of perjury, bribery, treating, and personation which seemed to have prevailed at the late election for City Bridgemaster ; it was disgraceful to the City of London, it was disgraceful to the nation at large. But what evidence was there to connect Mr. M'Namara with that sys tem? Mr. M'Namara well knew that he had not been guilty of any illegal act; that he had not incited any other person to the commission of an illegal act; and that, until the matter became a subject of public notoriety, he was ig norant of any illegal act havicg been committed ; and there was not a scintilla of evidence to show that M'Na inara had either-given,- or procured to be given, any single illegal vote. If any member of a Committee at an election were to be, therefore, held cognizant of th e everything that might be done by any agents or other idracy. If the Persons,. utt. then no man could venture to exercise his lin : tliiArr:ih_ad. i t n io s t tig 1 btod letral and constitutional rights, without running risk of rieiii i l . utterly ruined by beingchurged with con ity of London could prove that Air. M`Na ate:d one single person to vote illegally, why Powell after he elndi _l_" , _3,. m indiet him for that one fact, instead of in hneau"s4e him in llad a he sweeping . charge of conspiracy, merely son had heard what h e a n seen in the Guildhall speaking with come from votin although no per evidence as what situation wouvir that N they were talking about?

Could they believe that M•Namara, had avowed to Per kins, his most active opponent, his intentions to do that which would enable them afterwards to avoid the election. It was monstrous, incredible, and impossible to s u ppo se such a thing could have . occurred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The case of Ricfardby Hibbert, who stands charged with having improperly disposed of a will, or testamentary paper, found in his mother's box after her death, was brought up for examination on Wednesday and yesterday. The case has excited much interest and curiosity. Mr. Randall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries attended for the prisoner. Alderman GIBBS, who presided at the former exami nation, sat during the investigation. He asked, when the prisoner was put to the bar, whether the document which had been spoken of, as in the possession of .the prisoner, was forthcoming ? Mr. Humphries —The prisoner knows of no document. Alderman GIBBS-I have given the prisoner every op portunity of coming to an accommodation with his family, by postponing this case for a considerable time, at the desire of his ou n Counsel, and now he must take the consequences. Ann Hunter, the nurse who attended Mrs. Hibbert, was then examined, and repeated the evidence . given on a former examination. Alderman GIBBS said—Can it be proved that Mrs. Hibbert made a will at all ? Mr. Randall—l can prove that she made a will at Hackney, and I think before witnesses. I submit that the paper which the nurse found, and gave to the pri soner, was a testamentary paper. It will be for a Jury to say whether it was a will or not. A number of persons were then called and proved that a will had been made, upon which Mr. Alderman GIBBS committed the prisoner to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court, GUILDHALL. Henry Griffin, James Steptoe, and Edward Sherman, the three men who had been previously examined on the charge of stealing a bale of silk from the Chipping- Norton waggon (in collusion with the driver, James Leedon, who turned approver), addressed to Mr. Hiron, Camden, Gloucestershire, were again brought up for ex amination yesterday, and additional evidence haying been adduced in support of the charge, which was con,idered not to be sufficiently conclusive, they were remanded for a week.

The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the Week ending Dec. 7, 1841, is 3Rs. sd. per Cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the Importation thereof into Great Britain. Despatches from the Governor of New South Wales, and also from the Governor of Newfoundland, were re ceived yesterday at the Colonial-office. a person in Mr. Cave's position—for instance, 3001. for a present of two coaches to Messrs. Hall and Dickson; a " Murillo" to a Rev. Gentleman as a gift for past kind ness; a large expenditure for the education of the chil dren of a person named Lipscombe ; 8401. to buy a com mission in the Army for his nephew; and a host, of such donations. He also found that the bankrupt lost upwards of 8,0001. by Shillibeer, an omnibus proprietor; and that he likewise purchased a patent for manufactur ing lead and zinc, which had since been bought by two gentlemen, named Crompton and Howell, upon which there was a loss, after laying out nearly 40,0001. In the bankrupt's then circumstances his conduct was inex cusable in entering on such speculations. The bankrupt said some of the most eminent engineers in London and Liverpoo: seemed to regard that patent as very valuable. Several other points of evidence having been gone th rough, Sir C. F. WiLt.Luts said the case would stand over to the 14th inst., when he had determined to allow the bankrupt to pass his final examination. - - MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.
