MORN IN G t r n ON WALSALL ELECTION COM- MITTEE. M r .:;ommittee met yesterdayat eleven o'clock. COCKBURN, on behalf of the petitioners, stated that his ' - ' r .atrned Friend and himself had agreed that they should close their case with the evidence of Saturday night, feeling that they might just as well take the opinion of the Committee upon t.ne case as upon a hundred. They felt satisfied that ample evi clen,Je had been laid before the Committee that bribery and t:eating to a considerable extent had been practised at the election. The Leaned Counsel then proceeded at considerable length to sum up the evidence that had been given in supportof the petition. He referred, in the first instance, to the evidence of Patch, which had fully established the charge of treating, and who had distinctly traced the connexion between the voters so treated and the agents of Mr. Gladstone. If the evidence of that witness were substantively correct, then the Committee must corns to the conclusion that the election was void. He admitted that his Learned Friend had shown that the character of the witness was not the very best—that he was, in fact, a man living by his ingenuity, and ready fur any job that might offer, and he confessed that - a man could not come forward to give evi dence against the party by whom he had been employed wiihout klving severe reflectiolis thrown upon his character and mo. ives. The Committee, however, would recollect that even in criminal cases parties whose testimony was of the most suspicious na ture, from their very connection with the offence, had been ad mitted, and cases involving life and liberty had been adjudi cated upon such testimony. The only precaution observed - was, that their testimony must be supported in the material parts by other witnesses. Now, admitting that the character of Pa`eh were ten times worse than it really was. hal not the Committee received a sufficient corroboration of his evidence from other, and it might be, more trustworthy witnesses. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment upon the evidence of Patch, and the corroboration it had received from that of Kilner and others, and contended that it fully established the connection between Patch and Barnett, the agent of Mr. Gl a d s t one . P a t c h hart received a list of doubt fu voters from Barnett. He had taken some of them, by Bar nett's direction, to the New Inn. They were kept locked up there, the greater part of them, in a state of drunkenness, during the nomination day and night, and they were carried in that state to the poll the following day. He would now refer to the evidence of Kilner, who had corroborated the evi dence of Patch in the material points, that voters were sert to his house; that dinners, suppers, wine, brandy, and every description of treating went on in the utmost profusion, but that he di , ' all that without the sanction or authority of Mr. Barnett. Why, he must have calculated very largely tr c on the credulity of the Committee when lee made such unfounded and ridiculous state • mcnts. Nay, he went a step further, and stated that he had given ae:ay all that entertainment, 80/. worth of eating and thinking, without the expeeteion of receiving one penny fe'. it. But th tt most extraordinary statement was not allowed to pass uncontradicted, and the witness wits obliged to admit that he expected some friends of his in Walall to pay hint the wt . :want. Why, it was the old hackneyed tale of tho-e who re sorted to such di •reputab!e practices. Their repu'atio t had become a mockery, and the whole system a by eword arid a re proach, because of the leniency of former Committees, who had allowed these miserable subterfuges and pretects to pre val, and to screen the offending Fifties from punishment. Ile trusted that a new era was about to commence, and that the decision of the Committee in the present case would show the public that suc'i practices could no longer be resorted to with impunity. But there was another gross contradiction in the testimony of Kilner, because although he d dared that he had no authority whatever for the entertain ment of the voters, yet he made out his account as against the eleeti , n Committee of Mr. Gladstone. The whole affair however was liable to the greatest suspi cion. The account so headed had been torn out of the book —the opposite leaf was missing, and what that leaf contaitmd no one now could tell. He trusted that the evidence would have sufficient weight with the Committee. His Learned Friend had t'-ought it necessary to depart from the ordinary course, and to tender in evidence certain letters to show that Patch was never an authorised agent of Mr. Barnett's. Ile (Mr. Cockburn) hat never attempted to establish such a ease. Patch had only been employed for that particular ser vice ; but the deviatirm from the ord na-y course which his Learn•A Friend had resorted to, was a strong proof of the weakness of his position, and if ever there was a case brought before a Parliamentary Committee which required an answ,tr, it was the present. He submitted most confidently, that a case against the sitting Member had been made out, anti that they were bound to avoid the return. The CHAIRMAN said, before Mr. Sergeant Wrangharn commenced to open his case, he would wish the room to be cleared. Strangers wt.re then ordered to withdraw. Counsel and agents having been called, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had decided that Mr. Wrangham do proceed with his case in behalf of the sitting Alember. Mr. Sergeant IVRA NG HA 31 then addressed the Committee upon the evidence that had been adduced in support of the petition. Ho referred particularly to the evidence of Patch, which he contended was contradicted in all the material parts by that of other and much more credible witnesses. After a lengthened address of more than two hours, the Learned Coun sel concluded by submitting that the allegations in the petition had not been sustained. It being then four o'clock, the Committee acijournel till to morrow, when Mr. sergeant Merewether will be heard in reply. ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION COM- SUTTEE. The Committee re-assembled yesterday. They cleared the roam for a few moments, when parties were recalled an I informed that the Committee had de'ermtned that the question of " What did Dr. Webster say ?" should he answered. The Rev. Mr. Brogden was recalled, and answered, the Doctor sa.d " Well, whet of that? the other side are just as beet." Lord Listowell was within hearing, and witness said to him "Here is pwity of election and liberty of conscience." The Noble Lord said nothing, but turned very pale, and his under lip quivered very much. Cross-examined—He was rather angry, but not otherwise excited. There was no other conversation, but the offer of a rug to stand on to Lord Listowell, or perhaps refreshment by witness. He repeated the observation two or three times. He thought it was upon the second time that the Noble Lord turned away his head. He had seen Lord Listowell canvassing upon two occasions, but had not been introduced to him. Robert Adams was then called, and examined by Mr. HILL YARD—He resided in St. Allan's, and had an annuity in Bucks of 151. He had seven houses in St. Alban's, and had a vote in the borough as a freeman. On the day of nomina tion Dr. Webster came up and tapped him on the shoulder, and in consequence of what the Doctor said, witness and Stebbings went into his house. Witness was taken into the surgery, which was in front. Had been in a hack parlour along with the Doctor. No one else was there. The witness was ordered to withdraw. Mr. AUSTIN said the questions were evidently leading to im proper practices. His Learned Friend had better at once raise the question of agency. Beating about the bush in that way was a waste of time. HILLYARD wanted to take his own course. He would promise to take no advantage, and obtain no improper answers from the witness. The witness was recalled. Stebbings was in back room along with Dr. Webster first. When Stebbings came out he showed witness-- Mr. AUSTIN felt bound to object to the whole course of examination taken by his Learned Friend. He must object to any evidence bei ng given of corrupt acts by Dr. Webster until he had connected him in some way with Lord Listowell. Why should not his Learned Friend rise the question of agency at, once ? Why step out of his duties as an advocate and enlist himself as a partizan in the case? Why not conduct that case in the seine manner as others before the same tribunals, and at once raise the question of agency? He contended that ne fur ther evidence relating to agency had been given since the Com enittee last considered that question, and decided it in the nega tive. There was no further evidence except that of Mr. Bregden, and what was it? Why that Lord Listowell upon being inter fered with in so unprecedented a manner, curled up his lip ; might it not be with contempt or anger ? Mr. Hieeveity said he had refused to shape his course as one of agency, because he had suffered from it on the former occasion, by giving his Learned Friend a re ply; his position was that he was entitled to proceed with his line of examination, even should the Committee think that agency had not been proved. In any court of law he would be entitled to prove the acts of bribery, if the proceed ing were a criminal one, against Lord Listowell for the pe nalties. It would shut out all inquiry if they did not let the examination proceed; for many gross cases of corruption could Only be proved by such means. He did not mean, however, to admit that the agency of Dr. Webster had not been proved. came Mat • raatenal evidence had been given since the Committee to thei r former decision. Dr. Webster was the first person that raised the f opposition. They trace him t o the neighbourhood agent of the sitting Mr. Coppock's office, who w as th e He, " 1 g Member they trace hi m t o th e Treasure'. and th!sperson with him, learn all of the expected movements of Lord Listowell. They order horses for him on the read, seat m eet they drive to the house of Dr. Webster, whe the Doctor introduces him to the multi tude as the tenth or eleventh and he had introduced, and added the significant phras e , a to good one too. " The Listowell in his canvass • Doctor is constantly with Lord th he proposes him on the husting s ; and t r ansactions which took place da r i ng the ueolle,a e h after he tthhee' man whom the Noble Lord had in his carriage afte r the t elec tion while going round the borough. He did not say that all this was positive and conclu sive evidence, but h e would say th at i t was the strongest prima facie evidence that had ever been laid before a Committee, and imperativelyealledfor an answer. Mr. AUSTIN replied. His Learned Friend had spr ung a new case upon him, for lie had allowed him to !ii-guse the et, as if it was one of agency only, but now he put it to the Com mittee upon both points, the former of which he had put it out of his (Mr. Austin's) power to argue thLaelarnetdo Friend bad done nothing more or less call upon the Committee to consider theirformer t decision and if he succeeded, how long were those decisions last? He contended that his Learned Friend had not altered the cir cumstances since the last decision. The Committee-room was cleared for about half an hour. Parties were then called in, and informed that the Committee had decided that agency had not been proved, but the Learde Counsel for the petition might offer esli evidence. Mr. Adams was recalled, and stated that he received the money as stated in the opening of Mr. Hillyard, for the pur pose of voting for Lord Listowell. He was asked what Webster said on g i v i ng t h e money. Mr. AUSTIN objected. They could not show agency by such aline of examination. The Committee decided that the question was within the rule, and might be put. In answer to Mr. HILLYARD the witness bore out the whole statement of the opening. In his cress-examination by Mr. AUSTINhe said he break fasted with Mr. Cabb e ll, and with him during the day before the arrival of Lord Listowell. vad There were present Wingrave, Quin, and Ftlagg, and ar a t great ma n y more .

The Morning Chronicle of yesterday observes, in the course of a leading article on the parochial law of Scotland :—" W e have always maintained that a country can never be in a healthy condition in which there is not a compulsory provision for the poor. The owners of the soil ought to be made to feel themselves responsible for the people reared on their lands, and self-interest in that case will lead them to attend to the pro portion between the numbers of the people and the means for maintaining them. At present this duty is utterly neglected by the landlords in the Highlands, who are the great breeders of paupers, and coolly propose the removal of multitudes at the expense of the nation A better proof of the badness of the system now prevailing in Scotland cannot be afforded than this, than while the towns are in this disgraceful state, the country is advancing rapidly in prosperity—is in fact at this time the most thriving part of the island." The Morning Post, speaking of the official orders issued by the New Poor-law Commissioners, says:—" The fault may possibly not be so much with the Commissioners who give the orders as with the secretary who reduces them to form, and communicates to them his peculiar style. But, wherever the fault may be, there is undoubtedly the fault of an offensive 'dictatorial manner, as if the Commissioners could not be ceherwise than exactly right, and every one who differed with them unquestionably in the wrong. It seems to he the opi nion of the person who prepares the writings which issue from the Po w-law Commission, that it is very proper to treat the commonly-received notions of kindness and humanity with contempt. This is deserving of t h e g rav est censure." The Morning Herald states. in allusion to some recent amend ments in the new Poor-law Bill :—" May we not infer that the cause of humanity is on the advance in the Cabinet, as well in the House ? That ar last the voice of the poor will be favourably beard, ha ref,reneo to their appals f - om many of the most grinibng and obnoxious clauses of the existing Poor law?"—The Times, referring to the new Poor-law question, remarks as follows :--" We have never been, and we will never affect to be, advocates of the union system, and we utterly dis like the constitution of boards of guardian=. If the Poor-law Commission were abolishel, we should place no confidence in them, and w. , have no doubt whatever that many gross cases of oppression would then, as now, arise out of their mismanage ment.' FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (F ro m the Globe.) The recent debate on Lord Mahon's motion respect ing the employment of convicts under sentence of transportation, at the hulks, is useful as directing pub lic attention once more to a subject of such immense social importance as the administration of secondary punishments. Like all questions which inv Ave a var'ety of suborjinate considerations, that of trans portation, and secondary punishments in general, never fails to elicit a curious medley of individual opinions. Each man has his rnance to propose : Archbishop What, 1-, for instance, would retain all convicts in penitentiaries at home ; Lord Alahor, on the con- trary, would entirely abolish this mode of puoishment. The Noble Lord, as far as w! uuderstand his meaning, would return to the old system of convict assignment in the colonies, and send abroad as many as possible of those setoenced to short terms of punishment. He sets off the evils, sanatory and moral, of the hulks, against the colobial esorrnities of transported con victs. Ti;,; Committee on secondary punishments of 1835 is r)tted against that on transportation in 1838-9. We think Lord Mahon's motion was premature, yet we canna say that we are sanguine as to the working of the Hulks and Penitent;ary in distinction from the transportation system. Still less did we coincide with the Report of the Transportation Committee, whose main argument was a deduction from the crimes com mitted in the convict colonies, of the vicious system under which they had arisen. Overlooking the dreadful d.fEculties to be encountered when you have felons for the staple of your community, the li port dwelt on their depravity as conclusive against the maintenance of a system which had at least a flourishirg cobny to show in its favour. But the evidence collected by the Transportation Committee is most valuable ; it is a dark page from the hook of human nature, but one most useful for legis lators to study, and, as containing the history of a co lony unique in the annals of mankind, it belongs to the dom .in of general history. Our own conviction, sup ported by the opinions of many who are practically acquainted with the working of the present system, is favour of the transportation of convicted criminals ; we think it favourable to the morals of the mother country to remove from it those who have disgraced it by their crimes ; we think also, that it would, under proper regulation, afford at least an equal chance, nay, a greater one, of individual reformation. (From the Courier.) Whilst on all hands the New Poor• law officials of So merset House are challenged with harsh and heartless administration of a law essentially harsh and heartless in its principles as in its provisions, it is not a little strange to find the accusers who bring the proof, and the Judges who pass the sentence, with fussy flourish and contradictory compliment labouring to bleach their own black-made Ethiop white again, with sundry lip salve raro'e evidence to individual character, which, if admissible at all, establishes the fact at once that they are al', " all honourable men," whose hu manity, theoretically may not be impeached, how ever in practical working the " hardness of heart " alone is transparent. We, however, are unequal to the apprehension of that humanity which interprets and administers a cruel law with a rigour beyond the law, except, indeed, upon the Draconian principle of hu manity which impels the executioner coolly to shorten the agony of his victims by an extra twist of the noose, or a supplementary tug at the legs. The Commis sioners may be, and are, doubtless, very respectable gen tlemen and kind hearted in the relations of private life within their own circle ; but of their humanity in the I irger sense towards kind, towards the poor, we may be pardoned for incredulity, seeing that the overt demonstrations lie all the other way. The party really chargeable with new Poor-law barbarism and new Poor-law official bluster may be, as the Morn ing Post would seem to say, none other than the of Secretary, once well known as one of that pennj-R. lining class whom a Rev. Mr. Spencer, somewhere about Bath, iu a furious pa nphlet just published in assertion of the Christian tendencies of new Poor law oppression, energetically stigmatises as the pests of the Press and society. In behalf of that zealous func tionary we must, however, repudiate the apologetic plea ; for in logic as law the axiom holds equally good, qui facit per alias, facit per se, and, so long as the agent is neither rebuked nor removed, his acts, vicariously per formed though they be, are but the emanation, and must be charged to the responsibility, of a superior will. (From the SEandard.) We have observed with great regret that some difficul ties have occurred in the opulent borough of Marylehone, which are likely to interfere at toe next general election with the return of its present upright and excellent re presentative, Lord Teignrnouth. We perceive that these difficulties ere entirely of a pecuniary kind, wis ing from the indisposition on the part of the Con servatives to raise an adequate fund for the eor.test. We are quite sure tint the Con servatives of Marylebone are actuated by too liberal a spirit, and are too anxious to pre serve the p3sition in Parliament which they have so nobly won, to allow themselves to lose the ser vices of a Member who does them so much credit as the Noble Lord who now represents them, and we can not help feeling satisfied that when they consir'er the sacrifices that Noble Lord has made, and the inde pendent spirit and ability with which he bas represented them in Parliament, they will yet combine with an ac tive and vigorous exertion to secure his services in the next Parliament.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 30, isn GRAND ANTI-CORN-LAW TEA PARTY AT HUDDERSFIELD. (Abridged from the Leeds Times.) On Thursday last, a great Anti-Corn-Law Tca Party took place at Huddersfield in the Philosophical Hall. About 500 persons sat down to tea. A great number of ladies graced the scene, which was exceedingly elegant and animated. The guests were accommodated at a (time table on a raised platform, and immediately behind them was raised a handsome triumphal arch, of painted marble, surmounted by the Royal arms, and diverging on each side into two side wings. Round the arch was inscribed the following Scripture quotations :—" He that with holdeth corn, the people shall curse him."—Prov. 9, 26. On one silo was inscribed " Rob not the poor because he is poor."—Prov. 22, 22; and on the other, " The bread of the needy is his life."—Eccles. 24, 27. A little behind this arch was elevated a round tablet, inscribed, " The 335 Electors of Walsall." An excellent band of music played several lively airs while the company were partaking tea. W. Brook, Esq., occupied the Ci air. The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was received will loud end prolonged sheering. He said the situation which they had called upon him to fill was one which, when they considered the object they hal in view, any man might justly be proud of.—(Hear, hear.) That object was one which, he re joiced to say, could not, by any possibility, resolve itself into a q'teotion of party politic;.—( Hear, hear.) It was one of far greater importance than any question which could aonaee the political world--it was a questi in of whother the people of this c tuntry, who arc proverbially a manufacturing people, should continue to be so or not.— (Cheers.) Whether they regarded the structure of that portion of the earth which they occupied—the great ele ments of Fame, iron, and coal ; or whether they regarded the physical structure of its component parts, al! combined to constitute ties country, and the people of it, to be ma nuf icturers to the greases[ extent which the human mind could imagiee.—( Hear.) He roust he allowed, in the first place, to express the high gratification ho felt at seeing that assemblage honoured by the presence of so many late 9._ (Cheers. ) It was a happy omen when the ladies undertook eny cause. for success was ever the triumphant issue, —(Cheers.) It was also a source of great pleastee to him, to witness the number of operatives at this me Ming, —( Hear, hear.) He would Leg of them never to forget that what affected the master affected the man, that their interests were as indissolubly united together as it was pos. Bible for any two clas - e sof society to be ; that they were sailing in the same beat, and the wave that swamped the one would inevitably sink the ether.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Their pre' ice showed to the meeting, and to the country at that they were not insensible and in. different spectators to what was going on, and that they 'e capable as well as acting.—(Ch eers ,) were eregrde l tie Corn-la laeis as the greatest curse that ever affl:cted a country like England, and failing in th is effmts to get rid of them them was nothing to look forward to but ultimate ruin both to the commercial and manufacturing population.__( Hear, hear.) lie had no hesitation ie say ing that on the cerestion of the Core-'aws, ignorance the most profound and unaccountable abounded both in the humbler and higher walks of life, and whilst he hal no immedieto hope, either by lecturing or re monstrance', of getting anything from the land owners, his advice to them tsar—petition, and never lot them ceate petitioning, until they got all they wanted; fir petitioning, after all, was the only constitu tional mode of a, ttipg rid of any national grievance. ( Hear, hear.) But they would never petition with cif ct until they made know'edge as univ real amongst the mass of the people, as it was now unfortunately and 1 aneLtably deficient. —( Hear, hear.) Let knowle age spread, and then John Bull, arising in his majesty, would tell the Le_ gislature that he had long enough been shackle] by cruel and which injured the rich and poor alik,s, and o p thatpr e i fs theysi: e w la cet s tid not make up their minds to cmanci. pate him from that degree of thraldom. he would do it for them. —( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Let th meeting not misunderstand him, Ile (Mr. Brook) was not an advo cate of physical force. —( Hear, hear.) He was a great advocate for moral force, and if their cause cool f not to gained by its own intrinsic merits and its justice, he would abandon it that v ry moment.—(The Chairman resumed his seat amid:t much cheering.) W. R. C. STANSFIELD, E3q., M. P., was received with repeated cheering, and addressing them as Ladies and Gentlemen, said that he ought to apologise for his absence from his duty at the House of Commons, tai h which he was occupied, when their summons to attend that meeting retched him, but ho thought the importance of the subject about which f-ey were assembled, would enable him to justify himself in his conscience and to them for that temporary absence.—( Hear.) It was very true, as their worthy Chairman had told them, that his existence and support in life depended on the produce of the so I, he hai inherited from his ancestor?, but be lived that interest would never induce him for a moment to act un justly towards others, by being a party in placing restric tions upon" the necessaries of life.--( Cheers,) In his bumble opinion, from what they saw daily passing in the street, the impolicy of the I" resent restrictions was almost a self-evident proposition. Was it to be said, that when the county of York bad abundance, and the county of Lan caster was deficient, they were to be prevented by re trie tions from supplying each others' wants ?—( Hear, hear.) That when England had a deficient harvest, Ireland was not to send of its super-abundance here, and that they should be prohibi el from taking the benefit of the surplus produce of Germany, of France, and of America?—( Hear, hear.) It had been considered that a free trade in corn would place them in a position of dependence upon their enemie., inconsistent with the dignity arid character f the country. Hence it was said they must raise corn for themselves. How was it to be done? That corn could only be produced at an extra cast, they must throw their labour away upon unproductive soils, and they thus checked the great stimulus of commerce, and they checked the ir tercourse betwixt country and country, which formed the basin of a large manufacturing community.—( Hear, hear.) It was one great fallacy of their opponents that cheap corn would make cheap wages; and the application of this principle had been the means of dividing the two great masses of the community—the masters arid the operatives. He congratulated them on the forma tion of an Operative Corn-law Association in Huddersfield. By the dearness of provisions, the labourer was obliged to force his young children to work for subsistence; the young mind, before receiving those sound sentiments implanted by education, and which were necessary to form the na tional character, was sent uneducated, unformed, unpro tected, into the world. The market of labour was thus broke down, the master had three hands where he only wanted two, and he said I can only afford to give you the same price for the three as I could for the two, and there fore I must divide it amongst you. They knew that pro tection ruined the silk trade—they knew that protection ruined the glove trade—and he was fully convinced that protection had ruined the farmers,—Hear, hear ) Leave him to his own resource, make him adopt the most ccono • mical mode of bringing his goods to market, and see whe ther instead of considering, as in 1829, 80s , he will not then consider 503. or 603. a fair remunerating price. With a favourable harvest he produced more than was required —tbe demand was not equal to the extra quantity thrown into the market, and he was beat down by the very cause he expected to be the source of his prosperity, and so much so, that in the year 1835 or 1836, cern fell from the bare produce so unnaturally fostered by the protection of the Corn-laws to a price of 393. per quarter.—( Hear, hear.) These fluctuations could not he beneficial to the farmer, whose capital was invested in land. The Corn-laws were only part and parcel of a system ; there were restrictions in other articles of food of all kinds.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, MARcu 29. FENNINGS V. uumpEtzu.y.-JUDGMENT. This.was a motion to discharge an order obtained, as of course, whereby the plaintiff was required to elect whether she would proceed in her suit in equity, or in her' action at law, which was alleged by the defendant, Alderman Humphery, to be for one and the same matter. At the same time the plain.iff had shown cause why an order nisi to dissolve an injunction obtained by the plaintiff, to restrain the defendant from proceeding at law, should not be made abso lute. It appeared that on the 13th May, 1837, the defendant contracted to let to the plaintiff certain vaults near London Bridge, which were then in her possession, for a term of seven years and a quarter, to commence from Lady-day then Last, at the rent of 1501. a year ; and also contracted to excavate, build, and furnish another vault with certain speci fied accommodations, arid to erect a crane, with proper and convenient works for the use of the pliintiff. The defendant did not perform the works accarding to the agreement, and the rent agreed to be paid by the plaintiff for the vault in her possess:on being in arrear, the defendant brought his action against her for the recovery of the rent. The plaintiff filed the present bill on the 24th of December, 1839, and prayed to have the agreement of 1837 specifically performed, and that the defendant might be restrained from proceeding in his action. The plaintiff obtained the com mon injunction to restrain the defendant proceeding in his action for rent. The answer to the bill was filed on the 27th of January, 1840, and for more than a year no proceeding whatever had been taken in equity ; but on the 20th of February, 1841, the defendant obtained the usual order nisi to dissolve the injunction, and on the 26th of February, 1841, the plaintiff commenced her action against the defendant for damages for breaches of the agreement. On the 11th of March the defendant, alleging that he was doubly vexed by the plaintiff's prosecuting him at law and in equity for the same purpose, obtained the common order that the plaintiff might elect, and this was the order which it was now sought to discharge for irregularity, as having been obtained upon a false allegation, that the plaintiff was prosecuting the defendant at law and in equity for the same matter. The MASTER of the Ror.Ls this morning gave judgment, and stated, that as it did not appear to him the two suits were prosecuted for one and the same matter, the order of the llth of March ought not to have been obtained, and must therefore be discharged. With r:spect to the cause shown against di solving the injunction to stay proceedings in the defendant's actions for rent, as the deendant, on the one hand, admitted that he ought not to be allowed to receive the rent until the right was determined, and as on the other hand the plaintiff ought not to be allowed to keep pos session without paying rent if the parties could not come to an arrangement, his Lordship thought it would be proper to continue the injunction upon the terms of the rent being brought into Court. The case was subsequently mentioned by Mr. Jemmett, who said that the parties would rather have the injunction dissolved. The order for election was: therefore discharged, and by consent the order for injunction was made absolute. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-KINGSTON, MARCH 29. The Learued Judges arrived at Kingst )ra this morning, and proceeded to open the Commission fur the county of Surrey. Notwithstanding that the adjourned Sessions were held only last week, there are a good many prisoners f o r tri a l, and some of the offences are of a serious description. A great number of causes are already entered on the Civil Side, and the business is expected to occupy the Court the whole of the week. Lord D2nman will dispose of the causes, and Mr. Baron Parke will sit in the Crown Court ; but, as the crimii al cases will prob not occupy more than three days, both Courts will then be employed in going through the cause list. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LirenrooL, March 26. The Judges arrived here last night, and opened the Com mission of Assize. There are ninety-seven prisoners in the calendar, seven of whom are charged with murder, seven with rape, two with attempts to murder, and one with aiding and abetting that crime. There are ten cases of manslaughter, eight of cutting and wounding, four for forgery, two burglaries, besides felonies f the more ordinary description.

The clerk finally gave- him the contents of the boss 286, which proved to be a letter from the Bank of Liverpool, containing bills to the amount of 6,4091., a letter from the Bury Banking Company containing a check for 47/. 10s., and a third letter frr.m Newtown, in Wales, containing a bond. The mistake which had been com mitted was not discovered until the clerk who usually fetched the Manchester Bank letters called and found they had already been delivered. In the course of the morning the check Inim the Bury Bank was presented by a person who was identified as the prisoner at the house of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., in Manchester. It had - been, in the usual way crossed to the Manchester Bank, but this had been struck out, and the name of Thomson inserted. On being presented, the clerk before cashing it spoke to one of the principals, who went to the counter and spoke to the prisoner, sayi n g th ere was some thi ng wrong about the cheel, and it would be detained until a com munication was had with the !!enchester Bank. The prisoner, however, was allowed to depart, and o course did not return to claim the amount of the check. On the 2izt of December, Mr. Burdekin, manager of the Manchester Bank, received the following letter through the post : " Sir,—l will be obliged to you to inform me what you would give to have the bills and notes returned I got from the Post-office. If you will advertise in the Manchester Guar dian I Kill return them. They amount to about 7,6001., and you shah have them all back except the check of the Bury Bank, which I sent a lad with to Jones, Lloyd, and Co. " J. B. " Just state what you will give, in the Manchester Guardian of Saturday." The prisoner was taken into custody on another charge some days after, and on inquiry being made at the house of a Mr. Rowe, a hosier, in whose service he was, the bond which was enclosed in the third letter was found in the pocket of his jacket, and in the room which he oecup'ed some fragments of letters, which l roved to have belonged to those in which 'lie bills and check had been enclo ed. In the pocket of a mark...-. tosh cloak, also belonging to the prisoner, were bound nine s,;- verigry. - When taken to the lockup he Wrote a letter to Mr. Rowe, in which he spoke of the disgrace which he had brought upon himself; but said he did not know what had induced him to do rt, and that he had never wronged Mr. Rowe of a shilling. He begged Mr. Rowe to forget him, but 'aid he should never think of him but as a kind and generous master. Mr. WORTLEY (for the prisoner) in point of law, contended that the offence proved by the evidence, supposing it conclu sive, was an obtaining under false presences, and not a felony. Its Lordship. after argument, overruled the objec tion. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the Jury, and admitted he could not contend with the evidence which had been adduced to show that the prisoner was the party who had obtained the letters from the post -office, an offence to which he had no doubt b een tempted by the extreme care lessness displayed in the Manchester office. The only questiorr for them was, whether the prisoner had the deliberate inten tion of stealing the property and applying it to his own use at the time he obtained it, or whether it had not been originally a mere boyish frolic in calling out at hazard a number, the temp tation to dishonesty coming upon him when he found the na ture of the papers which this careless conduct on the part of the post-office officials had put in his hands. In the latter case his act would not be a felony. His Lordship summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Deeonport Telegraph.)
