FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. A letter from Paris, quoted by the Prussian State Gazette, mentions a chart of the fortifications of Paris, made by an officer of artillery, the son of the Vendean Chief Stoffiet. This map is said to be extremely curious, as showing the lines of fire commanding different quar ters of Paris and its environs. It pretends to prove that the Palace at Neallly, the Tuilleries, the Louvre, and the Palais Royal, with the road along the Champs Ely sees, are all safe 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 done. On the 31st of August a violent shock of earthquake was felt at Nijne- Tahil, on the western slope of the Ural mountains, ac-. eompanied by a brilliant aurora borealis. The Minister of Commerce is collecting at the present. moment materials for a legislative measure to modify the present agricultural system in France, whereby land is allowed to lie fallow one year out of three. We have iweived the Madrid papers of the 29th ult. There is no political news of much interest in them.— The Evectudor, a Government paper, contradicts the rumours of a commercial treaty having been negociatel with England ; such. a treaty, it says, was never even. thought of. "By moving the Custom-house line to the Bidassoa from the Ebro," it acids, " it wishes to show that it is independent 'nth of France and England." A razia, oni a small scale, was executed at Bona on the 14th ult., when a column of 1,600 men, infanti:y, cavalry, and artillery, under Major-General Bandon, went on to the territory of the Beni Amer, where a subject of the Spehis had lost his life some time before. Sixteen of the natives were decapitated, and the cattle met with were carried off. The troops in the camps erected round Paris, for the fortillmtions, have been dispensed from participating in the works /ill March next, but still remain in their pre sent statio-ft. Two melancholy accidents have recently occurred in the fashionable world at Vienna. The Countess Ilies hazy was reading in bed, to which she was confined by indisposition, when her taper caught the curtains, set the bed in flames, and the unfortunate lady was so dread fully burnt, that she died next morning. On the same day the Count Lugansky, of the Cuirassiers, was thrown from his horse and killed.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) AWFUL SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. French, a traveller in the sail-cloth line, frees Crewkerne, Somersetshire, arrived at the Vine Inn, Cowes, on Wednesday, apparently in excellent health. After transacting business he took some brandy and water, and retired to bed about half-pass ten o'clock, desiring to be called in the morning at seven, at which hour the boots knocked at his door and received an answer. On the gentle man not coming down at half-past eight, the chambermaid knocked, but did not wait for an answer, as he had ordered breakfast at eight ; and not appearing at nine, Mr. Roper, the landlord, at half-past nine, himself knocked at and tried to open the chamber-door ; not succeeding, be obtained the asiistance of a locksmith to open it, when the unfortunate gentleman was found sitting in a chair by the bed-side, partly dressed, having a towel in his right hand, and appeared as if he had just finished washing himself.

FROST THE MORNING PAPERS OF YEgTERDAY. TIMES.—Mr. T. Wood, the Secretary of the Brighton Railway Company, has absented himself from business, and thrown up his appointment, by a formal letter to the Directors. •He is understood to be no defaulter as far as the Company's funds are concerned; but it is said his embarrassments arise from speculations in the shares of this particular Company, in which he had a large venture for the rise. Letters have been received to-day from Falmouth, stating that the Braganza steam-packet, which set sail on Monday last, was compelled to put back on the fol lowinm day. The mail was immediately put on board the Express packet, which was about to sail at once. It is, therefore, clear that the Braganza was disabled at least for a time, and seine of the passengers have as cribed the misfortune to a defective state of the boilers. On inquiry in the City, this, however, appears to be in correct, and that it was the stays, and not the boilers, that were in fault. The passengers by the Braganza are-all-to be transferred, free of further expense, to the Tagus, which will sail next Monday. letters from v ßerwick-upon- Tweed received this morning state it as the report th ere th a t t h e stoppage of the back of Batson, Berry, and Co., referred to yesterday and before, was attributable to the large with d:'-awal of capital by one of the partners extensively em barked in the Greenland fishery and owner of several ships in thetrdde. It is said confidently that there is scarcely a single person in Berwick and the vicinity who will not be more or less a sufferer by the failure of the bank. The party alluded to yesterday -as having disap peared, and being in default in the Share Market, is ad vertised to-day by the Directors, as the Secretary to the Brighton Railway Company, which has been so unlucky in accidents of late.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 10. The Lord Chancellor did not sit in his Court in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day, having to attend her Majesty at Windsor. ROLLS COURT, Dec. 10. SMITH V. JEYES. The Court was occupied all the morning in hearing the further arguments in this case, which being concluded, the Master of the Rolls said he would consider his judgment. VICE CHANCELLORS' COURT, Dec. 10. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took unopposed petitions and short causes to-day. THE NEW ORDERS. Mr. JEREMY applied yesterday, under the 21st of the new orders, in a cause in which an infant was the defendant, for liberty to the plaintiff to file a note in the Six Clerks'-office, to the effect that he intended to proceed with the cause as if the defendant had filed an answer, traversing the case made by the bill, and the plaintiff had replied to such answer, and served a subpcena to rejoin. His HoNouit observed this morning that he had stated yesterday that he did not think the order applied to the casa of an infant, grounding that opinion upon the language of the order ; since then he had learned that such was the opinion of Lord Langdale, Vice-Chancellor Wigram, and another learned gentleman who had been greatly instrumental in drawing up theorders, and therefore it must be taken to be the true con struction of the order. Such being the case no order must be made on Mr. Jeremy's application. The following are the words of the order on which the appli cation was made .—.‘ That after the expiration of the time allowed to the defendant to plead, answer, or demur (not de murring alone) to an original bill, if the defendant shall have filed no plea, answer, or demurrer, the plaintiff shall be at li berty to file a note in the Six Clerks' .office, to the effect that the plaintiff intended to proceed with his cause as if the defendant had filed an answer traversing the case made by the bill, and the plaintiff had replied to such answer, and served subpoena to rejoin." The Court then proceeded with the hearing of unopposed petitions and short causes. this on which the Jury could act. Not one of the wit nesses to that fact but what had acknowleged he had for 7s. 6d. 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-convieted of infamy ; the parchment record only being wanted to prevent their ever polluting the witness 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 Coyle, who, failing to obtain anything by his threats, went with another witness, expressly sent to the Bench to drink and smoke with two of the 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'Namara, put it to the Jury whether they would, by their verdict, stamp him, a man hitherto of irreproachable character, with that in famy and degradation which would most justly be his lot if he had been guilty of the crime laid to his charge. He regretted 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 ies• norant of any illegal a c t h av i ng b een comm i tte d ; and there was not a scintilla of evidence to show that M'Na mara 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 everything that might be done by any agents or other persons, then no man could venture to exercise his un doubted legal and constitutional rights, without running the risk of being utterly ruined by being charged with con spiracy. If the City of London could prove that Mr. M'Na mara had instigated one single person to vote illegally, why did they not indict him for that one fact, instead of in cluding him in a sweeping . charge of conspiracy, merely because he had been seen in-the Guildhall speaking with Powell after he had come from voting, although no per son had heard what they were talking about? If such evidence as that was sufficient to prove conspiracy, in what situation would Marker have stood if he had been made the twentieth defendant in this indictment, when he himself said that PosZell spoke to him (Harker) immediately after he had voted ? If every word that the witness Perkins had said were true, he should still call upon the Jury to act on the wholesome maxim of putting the most favourable construction on ambiguous words, and not to convict his client of a most atrocious crime—for a most atrocious crime it was to suborn a man to personate another, and to give a false vote, on words loosely uttered in conversation; but could they stamp a man with infamy on the testimony of such a witness as Perkins, a warm political opponent, and who said he had not bribed voters in 1837, but bad given them I/ a piece for coach-hire from Clerkenwell to Guildhall. From what little experience he (Mr. Kelly) had had in election matters—(A smothered laugh)—he should think it exceedingly improbable that these voters had each come up from the Committee-room in a separate coach ; and, when pressed, Perkins had represented he had spent 101. when he had spent but 61, and had put ' 41. in his own pocket for one day's expenses in eating and drinking ; and could they convict a man like Mr. M`Narnara, of the most unblemished repu tation, on the testimony of a political opponent, and that opponent such a character as Mr. Perkins ? 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 suppose such a thing could have occurred. Thompson, who was the Secretary to Mr. Ledger's Committee, was stated also to have been present; and yet the Counsel for the prose cution had not ventured to produce Thompson to confirm Perkins. Could they, on such testimony, consign to infamy, as long as his life should last, a man 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 kola, honest, and friendly tr a n sac ti ons i n th e wor ld. `Pith 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 an unscrupulous villain like that, trial by Jury, instead of being a blessing, would be a curse and an oppression. Would thy convict any human being upon the testimony of such a man as that, who since lie 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 fur 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. PAYNE said 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 of justice 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'Narriara. Fitch saw Powell once go to the 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 imptitation 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. HEATOtS, 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 lie 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 lie 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 n re aeh onlyct 3vi must he 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 uncosrobora:ed testimony of Morris. The first witness who named any of his clients,. was Harker, and he en tirely concurred with his Learned Friends in the obser vations they had made or, his testimony. The conduct. Pursued in identifying the prisoners in the Bench, was : improper and unfair. The Jury should recollect that they, wernzieigdy defendantstdihhieaeannregkeee(which shsie:vnilevidence teonsi n c)c o le,h t elere f (c o lf it r ,Ht rp:lolseagrtj,fupororly%i point ut fo r c untouched.o bhoi"ards..

EX PARTE GRANT. Mr. Tom.za stated that this case came before the Court, praying the confirmation of the Master's Report. The Learned Gentleman was proceeding to state the facts of the case when he was interrupted by His HONOUR, who said that he did not see how he could snake the order asked, as the Master had not stated in his re- port any of the state of facts or documents upon which he had founded it. Mr. TOLLED. begged to eall the attention of his Honour to the Bth of the new orders issued in January last ; that order stated—" That in the reports made by the Masters of the Court no part of any state of facts, charge, affidavit, deposition, examination, or answer, brought or used before them, should be stated or recited." His Horton a. had not seen the new orders till the day they were signed, •and he could not, for the life of him, see how such an order could have been made, because, if the docu ments upon shich the Master mine to his conclusions were not to be inserted in his report, the result would be that the Court must read the whole of them, and that would have the effect of shutting up the Court altogether. He would not now make any or&r, but would consult with the Lord Chancellor on the subject. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) SILLICK V. BOOTH. This case came on before the Court on exceptions from the Master's report. The bill was filed to establish 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 Wio RA M.) SCOTSON V. GA waxy. This was an application to obtain the common injunction to stay trial. Mr. RANDALL appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. WOOD for the defendant. Mr. RA NDA LL said the plaintiff, up to the month of April last, carried on business with Mr. Russell, his copartner, as a warehouseman in London, when, having become embarrassed. they suspended their payments. At that time they were in debted to Messrs. Gawrey and Sedgwick in the sum of 2,8991. Ils. On the 19th of April they called their creditors together, and on the 20th proposed to pay them a composition of Iss. in the pound. All the principal creditors, except Messrs. Gawrey and Russell, accepted this offer, and agreed to execute a release of their demands. Mr. Gawrey refused to accept the offered composition. Prior to the month of April the plaintiff and Mr. Russell sent several pieces of French merino to the defendant's of the value of 901. to be exchanged for other goods; and on Mr. Gawrey insisting upon more than 15s. in the pound the plaintiff pro posed that he should keep the merino in addition to the 15s. At a meeting between the plaintiff and the defendant, the de fendant proposed that the plaintiff should accept two bills of exchange, one for 1501. and another for 2501., in addition to the merino. To this proposal the plaintiff reluctantly consented. These bills having been accepted by the plaintiff, Messrs. Gawrey and Russell, then signed the agreement to accept the composition of 153. in the pound. The bill stated that the other creditors were ignorant of the whole transac tion. The plaintiff having been advised that it was an attempt to defraud the other creditors, treated the se curities as void at law, and an action was brought by Messrs. Gawrey and Russell to recover the amount. The object of the present application was to stay the trial. The Learned Counsel put in an affidavit made by the solicitor of the plaintiff, stating that the latter had quitted London for Ireland, on the 23d of November, as the agent of Messrs. Leith, M'Dougal, and Co., and that he would not be able to return in less than a fortnight. Mr. WOOD opposed the application, on two grounds ; first, that it was made upon the eve of trial ; and, secondly, that the plaintiff himself ought to have made an affidavit, before leaving London. llis liosoun, after 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. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH, Dec. 10. . CONSPIRACY TO CARRY THE ELECTION OF BRIDGMASTER. THE QUEEN V. M'NAMARA 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 v'hether 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 bean 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 DEN 31.1.7—1 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 he 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. JERVIS 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 side, 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 ideation by 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 ghilty 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 of the public, that it was useless to question him ; an . ' yet except upon the testimony of defendants tere was no and not that evidence to e con any one of the of con 'PiracY ; and that w the charge they had then to try, work, which that f a c pers n o s nation or perjury ; and he could well believe was the system of paying for the day' s as ha n l not illegal in the present in stance, might men, some of whom induced these unfortunate have induced had wives and families in destitution, to have which had been pursued, an the system of personation av b e y be w e h n i d ch e e h i e v ed. could Wouldwell believe the Committee miellitnti,, the testimony of a man they convict the defendants timeses deliberately per who acknowledged he had founrtim as a rogue and vagabond— himself—who had four been committed on suspicion of theft, and once in the face open Court, that he had lived upon the prostitution of n h t is he who shamelessly acknowledged, and whose conduct had excited such disc-LTA, that not evene— and the Court could restrain the expression of deep and general the respect due to his Lordship 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. Le d g er and no t of the City o r 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 publi c 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_ m in,i out the charge, by showing that one Simpson and Nmara were seen speaking together in the the witness Harker Why, if that were the case, he wondered that had not been included in the indictment, for he had spoken in the Hall to the defendant Shervill. In all the other cases the persons had been introduced to Mr. Simpson by the names by which they had voted, and by their Companies, and how was he to suspect that these per • sons were not voting in their real names ? Then as to the payment of these persons ; he denied that it was bribery ; i t might be treating, but it was legal in the present instance. It was merely what took place at all elections of this sort, the paying of the men their daily pay for the loss of their day's work. 13ut there was not even evidence of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1841. Lord I/enemas, in summing up, could not f or b ear re markinsi, 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 punish ment of pet jury 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 indictment 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 he considered proved.) The ninth was a most curious one, it indicted Trye for condpiring to bribe himself. The 14th and I7th counts seemed to him to be the only counts on which there was any 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 17th, by the same means to prevent the election of Mr. Ledger. The defendant Simpsen had applied for a particular of the charge, and it was stated it was for procuring persons to vote fer Gibbs who had no right to vote, and for procuring per sons to personate voters. Now, he hardly thought there was any evidence to show any conspiracy. Nothing could be more proper than that the facts should be brought forward as matters of criminal charge, but he regretted it had not been done with grea t er s i mp li c i ty . 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 sc ire. He would merely observe in passing, that if a similar practice bad been adopted on the other side, he hoped it would also be made the subject of judicial inquiry, but in a more simple manner than had been adopted on the present occasion. 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 coining to the evidence of Cayle, his Lordship said he thoaglit 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 regard 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 he prosecuted, but he was not before them At present. If they believed the evidence of Perkins, there certainly was a proof that Mr. M'Namara 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 still 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'Namara 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 had 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 fraudulent voting was in operation at the election ; and if it were made out that any or all of the defend ants were aiding in carrying it out, it would b e th e i r duty to convict them. With regard to Silverthorne, he was only spoken to by Morris ;, and he hardly thought they would convict him on Morris's unsupported testi mony. Langley, Salmon, and Snow were in the same situation. Darrow, however, was taken up in the act of tendering a fraudulent vote, and the evidence as to Brad stock was also very precise. Trye, Shervill, Haggett, Darrow, and Bradstock were undoubtedly engaged in putting bad votes on the poll. If they believed Simpson was co g nisant of what they were doing, an d h a d p a id them for it, then they would say he was guilty with them; but if they entertained any doubt, then they would ac quit him. The Jury then retired ; and, after an absence of an hour and a half, returned with a verdict of guilty against Trye, Shervill, Bradstock, Jones, Powell, Darrow, and Haggett ; and acquitting M'Namara, Simpson, Murray, Hogg, and the other defendants. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 10. :Sittings at Guildhall before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Common Jades.) CAYARD V. CLARKE. The plaintiff having deposited in the late London and Dublin Joint Stock Bankin g Company, of which the larger part was drawn out before the stoppage, brought this action against the defendant as a shareholder, for the balance of 151. The verdict was found fur 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 in Hanway-street and Tottenham Court-road. The work specified was contracted for at about 7001., but considerable deviations were made from the specification in the contract, and the defendant refusing to pay the demand made by West abave the contract, thi s ac ti on was brought. 'rhe 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' froth; 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 receive 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 Talfburd, 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, tkeir advice had not been taken. Ho believed, moreover,,, that the dpfendant was now disposed to yield to.the, suggestion. The defendant was understood to resist the proposition. The LORD 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 tvitness 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 dispeAcd of in the manner suggested by Counsel at the 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 b.-other 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. TriEsmint, 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 2/:, 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, but 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 dance of Joseph would be open to strong and severe com ment on the part of hi s L earne d 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. Weslefwas called, and proved the facts stated. • In his cross-examination by Mr. PLlrr, the Learned Counsel said, "And so you are a convicted felon im A Juryman appealed to his Lordship whether that was a fair question. LardiNGLß—Cert a i n l y witness. it is, as to the credit of 'The Juryman —He has expiated his guilt by serving out the time of his imprisonment.

CAIiTER. V. MILL. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for false, imprisonment and trespass. Bin TIIESIGER said the plaintiff WAS a man in humble life, filling the office of in-door porter at public inns. lie vas engaged as such by the defendant, who is landlord Mr. Chisholme, a gentleman who had been in partner ship with Mr. Bellamore, said that the baukrupt had been married in Edinburgh, in February, 1839, and subsequently at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. There had been 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, after perusing them, 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. WILLIAMS desired the attendance of Mr. Cave, who, in reply to the Learned Commissioner, said that he had given 1001. as an outfit to a Reverend Gentleman to canvass for shareholders at Algiers, as he (the Reverend Gentleman) was acquainted with a French capitalist there, who was about to invest 100,000/. in spe culation at that place, and it was considered better to in duce him to take shares in the Cornish mines. Sir C. F. WlLLtims said he found one item in the bankrupt's book, under the head " Gifts, loans, &c." Here he found such donations as were quite unbecoming a person in Mr. Cave's position—for instance, 300/. 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 Liverpool seemed to regard that patent as very valuable. Several other points of evidence having been gone through, Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said the case would stand over to the 14th inst., when he had determined to allow the bankrupt to pass his final examination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The case of Richardby 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. tumPhries attended for the prisoner. Alderman Gnms, who presided at the former exami nation, sat during the investigation. He asked, when the iprisoner was put to the bar, whether the document which had been spoken of, as in the possession of the prlsoner, 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 on 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 Grin; 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. Hi ron , Camden, Gloucest ers hi re , were again brought up for ex amination yesterday, and additional evidence having been adduced in support of the charge, which was considered not to be sufficiently conclusive, they were remanded for a week.

JOHN GEORGE CHRIST, fi of the Queen's Head, Newgate-street, and being so engaged 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 i n d uce d t o s l eep at his own lodgings, hoping to get in in the morning without the knowledge of the defendant. He expected the door to be 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 along with one of the porters at the Bull and Mouth. 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 custody, which was done, and the plaintiff taken to the station-house, where the defendant charged him on suspicion of stealing va rious articles from him. The prisoner was asked where he lined, 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 felon'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 he trusted the Jury would mark their sense of the value of character by the amount of compensation they gave fur such outrages. The case was proved by the police employed. In their cross-exan:ination they said the plaintiff, while in cus tody, 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. HUMFREY addressed the Jury in mitigation of da mages. The plaintiff had, by his conduct, brought all the trouble upon hiniself. He represented himself as an unmarried 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 finding such to be the conduct of th 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 fur the plaintiff, Damages, 20L COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 10.
