His Honour said—ln this matter of Carew's Estate Act I have looked over the papers very carefully. I have no doubt that there are no grounds for finding that Mr. - Isaacs' claim to the extent insisted on by the creditors, 'Messrs Ellis and others, should be limited to the extent stated. The state of the case is this. Here is an Act of Parliament —a private Act of Parliament—for the settlement of Mr. Carew's estate, and it provided for the payment of all debts to £lO,OOO, and that /10,000 should be entered up for the benefit of Mr. Bailey. The case before the Vice-Chancel lor was a common case, and he could not determine the point that Mr. Isaacs was entitled to more than £B,OOO. All he determined, and properly determined, was, that between the bank and Mr. Isaacs the judgment should be a security for £3,000 and no more. But the matter before me ought to determine Mr. Isaacs' and the bank's claims. The claim of one person, or the bank, dces not prevent Mr. Isaacs being entitled to benefit of this judgment, whether there was in reality anything due to him. Now, I think that the proper time was come to take accounts and give the creditor the sums chargeable with interest, on the one hand, and also debit him with sums due by him, on the other, and then set aside the sum due as the balance. He was found entitled to between £6,000 and £7,000 by the chief clerk's certificate, and I think his certificate was correct. When I find that there is a difference of between £5,000 and £3,000, and that they intended to deprive him of 4 per cent. interest, which he was entitled to, I am of opinion that he is entitled to receive the full amount of his claim from the estate. Costs of all parties out of the estate. The learned Secondary, in summing up, said that not only had defendant suffered judgment to go by default, but ho did not even attend here to explain the matter. The jury assessed the damages at £5O. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE,.-DAMAGES LAID AT £5,000. A writ of enquiry to assess the damages, laid at £6,0e0 in a breach of promise of marriage case, was set down for hearing to-day. It was a special jury case, and the special jury had been summoned, but last night the writ was with drawn, the parties (who hold positions of influence) having, it is believed, settled their grievance, the defaulter by pay ing, and the injured one by receiving a handsome sum. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —•(This Day). MAID LBOROUGH-STREET. THE PICCADILLY SALOON.--RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS. —Charles Reader, an auctioneer's porter, was charged with illegally and forcibly attempting to enter 222, Picca dilly (the Piccadilly Saloon), and with attempting to pro voke a breach of the peace. Mr. Pook and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlbovough street, appearea for the complainant and some of the credi tors, and Mr. E. L. Levy for the defendant. Mr. Pook, having opened the case, called Mr. John Goo3ered, who emid—l was In possession of the Picadilly Saloon, and now hold it for creditors. Yes terday the defendant, accompanied by about 20 or 25 persons—the defendant having a sledge-hammer—sur rounded the place about three o'clock. Several men had crowbars, and the defendant was the most formidable, say ing he would "get in," and pushing past the inspector (Mr. Holden) and two sergeants, and using all the force he could. He also said ho had the cue from Mr. Levy, solicitor, and Mr. Cannon. The defendant hammered at the door, and five or six others did the same thing. The door did not give way, and the inspector ordered the de fendant to be taken into custody. Mr. Levy was outside giving orders. By Mr. Levy—You were outside. The defendant had a hammer, and some of the others crowbars. Mr. M. Abra hams and Mr. Goodman were not there. Seven or eight of my men were outside, and could not get in owing to the mob. Mr. Levy—Had you not shut up the house to prevent Mr. Mayers, who holds the bill of sale, getting possession ? Mr. Tyrwhitt—That question shall not be answered. I am not going to try any question of right. Mr. Goodered, by Mr. Levy—Only defendant had a ham mer. lam the bankrupt in this case. Mr. Levy—Have you not turned Mr. Mayers' men out ? Mr. Tyrwhitt—l'll not have it. I'll take no cognizance of any rights whatever. I'll try no question of rights. Mr. Levy—There is a bill of sale in existence. Mr. Mayers has bill of sale signed by Mr.Goodered, giving him power to break into the place and take the goods. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l again say, even if the bill of sale says anything about breaking open the doors, I'll not try any question of bill of pale. Mr. Goodered, by Mr. Levy—Mr. Lewis and Mr. Pook are joint solicitors under the bankruptcy. The police took the defendant into custody. I afterwards signed the charge sheet, but I did not say that I signed it for Mr. Flaxman, the trade assignee. When I found the house was besieged I sent for Mr. Lewis's clerk. Mr. Lewis is a creditor under the bankruptcy. Sergeant Harrison was called, but did not state that he saw any hammer in the defendant's hand. In answer to Mr. Pook, the sergeant said there was a large crowd about the house, and the place was quite ob structed—more than 100 people being there. Mr. Levy said it was a dishonest proceeding towards Mr. Mayers, who held the bill of sale, and had advanced £BOO on the furniture, &c. He contended Mr. Goodered had no right there, and was not recognised by the assignees. After considerable conversation, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should not take into consideration any of the legal questions involved in this case, but should call on the defendant to find one bail in 410, and a promise must be given that there should be no repetition of the affair. Mr. Inspector Webb said the police were prepared to answer for that part in the matter. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The show of samples of English wheat here to-day was very moderate. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state, and prices had a downward tendency. The imports of foreign wheat are large, and buyers, con sequently, were very cautious in making sales; indeed, it was difficult to transact business in any description without submitting to lower currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at barely late rates. Good and fine qualities of barley were firm in value, but inferior kinds were a slow sale. The supply on offer was small. Malt moved off slowly, yet no change took place in the quotations. Oats wele firm, and prices had an upward tendency. The show of samples, both home-grown and foreign, was much restricted. Beans and peas changed hands slowly on forMertgrms. The Hour trade was dull, and in some instances ' prices were decidedly easier. ARRIVALS THIS *WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Yesterday was the first or opening day of the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, and the fineness of the weather, added possibly to the fact that this is the last year of the exhibition at its west-end quar ters, had the effect of causing a greater crowd of aristocratic visitors than has ever previously taken place. Indeed, during the whole morning and up to between 1 and 2 o'clock, King-street and Baker street were completely blocked by the carriages of the nobility and gentry, and the number of ladies was remarkable. Towards the afternoon the class changed to the agricultural, the various railways from every part of the kingdom having by this time discharged their provincial cargoes into the metropolis. Towards evening the mercantile and trading classes were to be found thronging every avenue of the brilliantly-lighted show yard and im plement galleries, giving unmistakeable evidence that the Cattle Show has rather gained than lost in any degree its amazing popularity. The annual general meeting of the Smithfield Club took place at one o'clock in the Committee room of the Bazaar. Earl Berners presided as this year's ptesident, and the awards of the judges, with respect to the present show, having been read, Lord Feversham was elected President for the en suing year, and Lord Walsingham was nominated as President Elect for 1863. The Marquis of Huntly, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Yarborough, Lord Berners, Lord Walsingham, Mr. C. T. Power, Earl Spencer, the Hon. Colonel Hood, the Earl of Leicester, the Duke of Rich mond, were re-elected Vice-Presidents, and Lord Tredegar also, in the room of Lord Berwick, de ceased. Mr. Barnett, Mr. Thomas Greetham, and Mr. S. Druce were re-elected trustees ; Mr. B. T. B. Gibbs, as hon. secretary ; and Mr. Richard Milward, in the room of Mr. Henry Smith, as steward of cattle, long-woolled sheep, and pigs ; and Mr. W. Fookes in the room of Mr. John Ford, jun., as steward of short-woolled and cross-bred sheep. Some three or four resolutions for altering the arrangements as to the future award of prizes, &c., to some of the sheep and pig classes having been lost or withdrawn, Mr. GIBBS moved the appointment of a committee to consider and determine upon what principle the space devoted to implements in the new agricultural hall shall be allotted in 1862, and to determine the arrangements to be adopted in planning out that department ; that that committee be composed of three stewards, three members connected with the implement trade, one with the miscellaneous stand ing, and the honorary secretary, which was carried. After electing 33 new members of the Club, the proceedings terminated. Among the animals sold yesterday morning are Mr. Shirley's Hereford, which obtained the first prize of £25 among its competitors, with a silver medal for the breeder, the purchaser being Mr. R. Frost, of Haverstock-hill ; his Royal Highness the Prince Consort's prize of XlO in the same department, bought by Mr. Thomas Pawsey, of Bath ; his Royal Highness's Devon, the winner of a prize of 1;10, now the property of Mr. Hyne, of Plymouth ; Mr. Heath's third prize of £lO, in the same department, is now transferred to Messrs. Fisher, of the Anchor Dining-rooms, Cheapside ; Mr: R. Farthing's Devon, another winner of £lO, which has been sold to Mr. James Hooke, of Frederick-street, Hamp stead-road; and Mr. Taylor's splendid steer, the winner of the gold medal, which was purchased by Messrs. Davis, of the Black Bull, New Cattle Market. The city of Exeter has secured several excellent animals through the enterprise of Mr. Chamberla i n, and other provincial towns have also been represented. ( 117117ECHAPEL.

HART V. MONTEFIORE. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said,—ln this case lam of the same opinion as Mr. Jessels. Mr. Jesse' is perfectly right as to the regular course of practice in such oases. They take out a summons at chambers, and it is the uniform practice at all the chambers to take out the sum mons. It appears that this was an application to the chambers of the Vice-Chancellor for a summons, which was perfectly competent, and therefore the order of competence must be made with costs. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) OMNIBUS RACING AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT-DAMAGES £5O. MARMON V. DOULTON. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at £2OO, sustained through an omnibus accident, defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Lawrence, for the plaintiff, said his client was an articled clerk to his father, who is an attorney, and defendant is an omnibus proprietor. On the morning of the 22d of July last plaintiff was an outside passenger upon defendant's omnibus, having got up at the Paddington station. Upon arrival at the Marble Arch defendant's driver accelerated his speed, racing with another omnibus and trying to pass the same. In this endeavour plaintiff's leg was caught be tween the two omnibuses and most seriously crushed. He was carried home, and medical aid called in. It was then discovered that the injuries inflicted were more serious than was at first anticipated, one injury of a private nature being most :painful. He was confined to his room for three weeks, and would most likely suffer for some time. The jury would recollect, in assessing the damages, plaintiff had been obliged to discontinue his studies, a most serious matter for his professional prospects. Plaintiff was called and fully bore out the facts, as above stated, adding that when he did leave his room he paid £5 cab hire. A gentleman present here said, "Dafendant is a bank rupt." The medical gentleman, who attended plaintiff, described the painful character of the injury, and that his charges were £lO 10s. CITY COUNISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday, at a meeting of the City Commission of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Deputy Christie in the chair, Deputy Read presented a petition from the inhabitants of the ward of Cripplegate.without, praying the court to take into serious consideration the whole question of the supply of gas to the city, pat ticularly as to the necessity of applying to Parlia ment for an act exempting the citizens from the operation of the Metropolis Gas Act of 1860. The petition, the prayer of which was strongly recom mended by Dr. Abraham, was referred to the special committee now engaged in considering the question of the supply of gas. That committee reported that, it having been recently referred to them to consider whether a joint case should be prepared for the opi nion of the Court of Queen's Bench on the question submitted to counsel on the provisions of the Great Central Gas Company's Act of 1851, and the Metro polis Gas Act of 1860, they had been attended by Mr. Alderman Dakin, the chairman of the Great Central Gas Company, in conference, and he had agreed on behalf of the company to a joint case being stated as suggested, and the committee had instructed the City Solicitor, with the assistance of the Remembrancer, and in conjunction with the solicitors of the Great Central, to prepare it accord ingly. The report was agreed to. Mr. Boaks, one of the contractors for scavenging to the Commission, was fined £5 for the act of two of :his men in putting a quantity of mud down a 'golly-hole communicating with -a- sewer in Farringdon street, contrary to an express prohibition con tained in the statute under which the Commission acts. The Court was occupied for some time in hearing, with closed doors, an appeal of Messrs Freshfield and Newman, on behalf of the Carron Iron Company against the assessment of their pre mises in Upper Thames-street. The result was that the appeal was disallowed, and the present assess ment confirmed. Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported on the state of 222 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 57 places for sanitary improvement. He like wise reported that, in consequence of the prevalence of fever in the neighbourhood of Golden-lane, he had visited the locality and inquired into the causes of the disease, and had obtained from the inspec tor a circumstantial account of the condition of all the houses in Sun-court, Smith's-buildings, Brackley-street, Bridgewater-place, and Bridge water-gardens, and he submitted a return of the sanitary improvements that were required. He also directed attention to the space of open ground in Brackley-street, which had for some years been in a disgraceful state, and was the depository of all the filthy refuse of the neighbourhood. Dr. Letheby submitted certificates of the indecent and unwhole some overcrowding of three houses in Plough court, reported that the markets and slaughter-. houses of the city had been duly inspected during the week, and the officers had seized 1,3801 b. of meat and 209 head of game and poultry as unfit for human food, It consisted of 1 sheep, 12 quar-. ters of beef, 24 joints, 92 fowls, 47 ducks, 22 geese, and 48 pheasants; 9261 b. of the meat was diseased, 251 b. was putrid, and the rest was from animals that had died from natural cases. All of it had been treated with chymical agents and destroyed as food. The mortality returns for the week are on the increase ; last week they were 64, in the preced ing week 52, and the week before that 49. Still, however, they are under the average (68) for the corresponding week of the last six years. 24 of the deaths were among children of less than 5 years of age, and 12 among old people of 60 and upwards ; 10 of these were over 70, and 2 were above 90. The chief causes of"death were as follows :—Phthisis, 9; mesenteric disease, 2 ; bronchitis, 10 ; pneumonia, 3 ; fever, 4, all of children; infantile diarrhoea, 2 ; scarlet fever, 3 ; whooping cough, 4 ; croup, 1; and measles, I—making together 11 deaths from tuber cular diseases, 13 from acute pulmonary, and 15 from zymotic. The carrying of military*eivil officers of the enemy is much more dangeroiis than the transport of merchandise contraband of war, as the latter may, in some sort, be considered asacommercial transaction, and the vessel engaged in carrying such officers loses her neutral character, and the other belligerent has the perfect right to treat her as an enemy. So also with regard to enemies' despatches carried by a neutral, according to Sir William Sgett, who said that by the transmission of a single 'despatch the entire plan of a campaign might be 'revealed and all the plans of the other belligerents counteracted. If, in practice, the contraband articles transported must be in large quantities in order to constitute an offence, the same rule will not apply to des-' patches. "It is impossible to limit a letter to so small a size as not to be capable of producing the most important consequences." The transmission of despatches is a service which, in whatever degree, it' exists, can only be considered in one character, as an act of the most injurious and hostile nature. The ;flip which carries them should be confiscated, [Caie - of the " Atlantic," Robinson's Reports.] The fact of carrying the despatches of an enemy by a neutral vessel being an offence of such gravity as to involve her confiscation, it follows that the transport of the bearers of them is one of greater magnitude, and the injurious nature of the act is enhanced where the object of them is to invest their bearers with a representative character, to enable them to.labour for the destruction of the Govern ment and even the political existence of the other belligerent. Messrs. Slidell and Mason were therefore contra band, and their character of emissaries of the re volted States could not be invoked to entitle them to the protection of . the law of nations ; for, accord ing to Sir . Wm. Scott (Lord Stowell), in the case of the " Caroline," and other authorities of note, a belligerent may " stop the ambassador of his enemy on his passage." The right to arrest them is not to be denied by . the legal ad4risats of the Crown (if their opinion in!

Sir, —Any on conversant with British history and the principles maintained by the British Go vernm nt previous to the declaration of the Con gress of Plenipotentiaries at Paris on the 26th of April, 1856, must be surprised to see the overheated excitement and warlike preparation which have pervaded England since the receipt of the news of the arrest, on board of the Trent, by the commander of the San Jacinto, of Messrs. Slidell and Mason, the Commissioners named by the revolutionary party in the United States to repre sent it in Great Britain and France; and the sur prise is not lessened by the knowledge that the act complained of as an offence to the British flag was the exercise of an acknowledged belligerent right, and one heretofore carried to the utmost extreme by Great Britain. Towards the close of the last and the begin ning of the present century, the British Govern ment acted with the most unecrupulous severity towards neutrals, and, indeed, may be said not to have paid any regard to their rights or to the declarations and protests of neutral Powers. Accumulated proofs may be found in works on in ternational law, and many cases may be cited to show the inconsistency between the policy of the British Cabinet at that time and the course it is now pursuing towards the United States. The present question may be reduced to two points:— _ _ _ 1. Was the commander of the San Jacinto justi fied in visiting the Trent on the high seas ? 2. Can the persons taken out of the Trent be legitimately considered as contraband of war ? In time of war every vessel met on the high seas by a ship of war of a belligerent is held to be an enemy, whatever may be the flag she wears, until her real character is ascertained ; and even after showing that she is neutral she must ex hibit proof that she is not engaged in any commerce made illicit by the state of war. This is the founda tion of the right of search, and according to the best authorities it is not the exercise of any act of jurisdiction over neutral vessels, but one of neces sary precaution, based upon the right of E elf-pre serration. With respect to this right no nation has carried its pretension so far as Great Britain, for during the wars growing out of the first French Revolution the British Government went to the extreme of insisting that even neutral vessels under convoy of a man of war were not exempt from search, and that resistance on the part of the con voying ship to the visit and examination of the vessels under its escort would be regarded as a hostile act. The enforcement of this pretension in 1799 gave rise to serious questions between Great Britain and Sweden and Denmark. This police of the seas was not confined to a search for articles evidently contraband of war, but extended to impressing British subjects from on board of neutral vessels, on the ground that his Majesty's subjects were bound to serve him in time of war. The American Government, after protest ing against the repeated encroachments made by Great Britain upon its rights as a neutral, instructed its Minister at London to open a negotiation upon the subject, and to propose that no person should be taken out of a vessel belonging to either party unless he should be in the military service of the enemy. The British Government rejected this pro- position, upon the ground that it would afford facilities for the escape of traitors. Several modifi cations were proposed by the United States, all of which were objected to by Great Britain, and the persistence of the latter in her vexatious exactions finally led to war between the two countries. The right of search or visitation of neutrals by a belligerent, under proper restrictions, is not dis puted by the United States, as may be seen in their treaties with France, Spain, Prussia, &c., where the right is expressly admitted, the manner of making the search regulated, the articles which shall be deemed contraband defined, and the manner of disposing of them stipulated. The right in a belligerent to visit neutral vessels to ascertain their character and the nature of their cargo being recognised, it is clear that the com mander of the San Jacinto was fully justifiable in bringing to the Trent for the purpose of visitation. I shall now examine whether the persons taken out of the Trcnt can be considered as contraband of war. The torm "contraband of war" is generally under stood to mean arms, munitions of war, naval stores, and other articles prepared and formed to make war, by land or by sea. It also comprehends officers or other persons in the service of the enemy, and despatches, bills of exchange, &c., sent from or to an enemy. Respecting Messrajlidell and Mason, there was no doubt of thepurposof4which they embarked on board of the Trent. Thd i object of their mission to Europe was well known; they were not coming out in a private capacity, but were invested with as much official ,character as could be given by a re volutionary pqrpf, and as such clearly contraband in every proper acceptation of the term. They were so according to the principles of international law, and, as far as Great Britain is concerned, doubly so under the Queen's Proclamation. above and other clauses relating to the visitation of neutral vessels and contraband, in time of war, in the treaties concluded by the United States is, that the object of the contracting parties was to pre• vent inconvenience or the detention of the visited ship, end the stipulation just cited is intended to apply to articles of bulk, such as arms, &c., rather than to officers or persons in the actual service of the enemy. Where, then, the latter are found on board of a neutral vessel, by a ship of war of a belli gerent, there can be no question of bulk ; and the captain of the Trent should have delivered up such persons without demur. As he did not do so Captain Wilkes would have been justified in tak- . ing the Trent to the United States for trid but he, no doubt, preferred removing them and permit ting the vessel to continue her voyage in the inte rest of the public, as the detention of the mails would have caused great inconvenience to the com mercial community in Great Britlin and elsewhere. The juetice of regarding this act or forbearance and good will on the port c , f the Americon corn mander as an encroachment on the neutral right of Great Britain, or of making it the ground of a formal reclamation against the United States, may very well be doubted. It would seem, indeed, that the real wrong was in the captnin of the merchant steamer receiving on board persons notoriously in the employment of the revolted States, thereby committing a flagrant breach of neutrality, and acting in direct contravention of the injunctions of his Sovereign. Surely if the captain of a British steamer chose to receive such passengers on board neither his owners nor his Government can reason ably complain of their extradition by a national vessel of the United States. It is novel to see the British Government appear as the staunch advocate of neutral rights after E 0 many years of neutral policy; and it will be equally ineonsistent, after so many years of cruising and so great an amount of treasure being spent in the suppression of the slave trade, to see the stan dard of St. George wave side by side with the Pal metto flag for the protection and encouragement of the demoralising institution." I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, J. RANDOLPH CLAY, Formerly Charge d'Affairs of the United States at St. Petersburg and Vienna, and Envoy, &c., to Peru. Cheltenham, Dec. 6. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. BIRKENHEAD: The polling of voters for Birkenhead commenced yesterday morning, and was carried on with great spirit during the early part of the day. Almost from the first the voting was strongly in favour of Mr. Laird, and up to midday his majority continued steadily on the increase. Between 1 and 3 o'clock a pause in the increase took place, and the majority was comparatively reduced, but not to an extent which could justify any reasonable expectation of the return of Mr. Brassey. At 3 o'clock the num bers stood—for Mr. Laird, 1,612 ; for Mr. Brassey, 1,309, giving a majority of 303 for Mr. Laird. At 4 o'clock, when the poll closed, the numbers stood, Laird, 1,661 ; Brassey, 1,338, giving a clear majority of 323 for the former. Throughout the day business of almost every kind was at a stand. The streets, particularly near the polling stations, were crowded with persons of all ranks, evidently much interested in the result of the election, In Liverpool great in terest was also experienced in connection with the Birkenhead proceedings, and all through the day a great crowd was collected in front of the Liverpool Albion office, where hourly returns of the state of the poll were exhibited. In Birkenhead, up to the close of the voting, everything was conducted in an or derly and creditable way, although it cannot be denied that the public-houses in the leading tho roughfares continued to drive a brisk trade during the day. FINSBURY. The writ was received yesterday by Mr. James, the returning officer, who has appointed the nomina tion to take place on Saturday next at noon, and the poll, if any, on the following Monday. Last night Mr. Mills met the electors of Stoke Newing ton in the Manor-rooms, Mr. R. W. Moreland in theebiir. He addressed them on the topics of' his atdr4f,,,and having given satisfactory answers to various questions put to him, a resolution pledging the meeting to use its best efforts to secure his re turn was moved by Mr. Kitchener, seconded by Mr. Marsh, warmly , supported by Mr. Samuel Morley, and carried with4cclamation. Only four hands were held up against it. The electors belonging to the Clerkenwell district were addressed last night by Mr. Cox, who was-la vourably received, and who made a statement simartqo that which was reported in The Sun of yesterday:" A resolution in his favour was unanimously passed at the meeting. The Con servatives had another private consultation yester day afternoon, but the result 4f- , ,their deliberations is not known.

TUESDAY, Dec. 10. Sir Robert Clifton is pursuing an active personal canvass, and there is now no doubt he will prove a formidable opponent to Lord Lincoln. Last night he addressed a great number of electors and non electors, and in the course of his speech he said that he came among them, sent by no party—no clique. He stood before them as Robert Clifton, prepared to contest the election at his own expense. If they were not satisfied with his principles, as stated in his ad dress, he was ready to answer any questions. He pledged himself to go to the poll, and 'adhere to those principles. He was an old foxhunter, and never saw a fox break cover that he was not in at the death, if it was not his horse's fault. He had been honoured with an offer to accept a commission in their Volun teer corps, but his answer was, he would take no commission until he was their captain in therfloase of Commons, and then he would take a command in the rifle corps if they chose to give him one. [An Elector asked Sir Robert if he would pledge him self to support the Nonconformist Burial Bill.] Sir Robert said he was . opposed to all bigotry. He did not like to see the body of a good man treated like a dog. An ELECTOR—You have not answered the queition. Sir ROBERT said he would support any such mea sure which was introduced into the House of Com mons, and if necessary he would originate it. He had pledged himself in his address to vote for the abolition of Church-rates, and he meant to keep his pledge. Sir Robert is becoming popular in the town, and his friends do not appear to have any doubt of his being at the head of the poll. ' Lord Lincoln's supporters are also engaged in au energetic canvas his committee is highly influen tial, embraqing the leading Liberals and . Liberal ,Conservatives Of .the town. But the electors are ,impatient to hear him propound his views, which {at present hOis.•,not able to do through illness. It is not yet'iinown whether Mr. Tidmas will • come forward.
