" Uhe very basis of the Papal system," observes. the writer, "is the suppression of private judgment ; and it is idle in any one to appeal to the judgment of a man who is in the trammels of the Papacy. On this very point the Oxford party are grossly inconsistent ; they oedlaim against the Reformation for having given license to private judgment. which license alone enabled them so to declainC There is soni . - Loth in this observation, though it \'us hardly worth while to - revive the question of Phseyism. It is 'a fire that has nearly burned itself out. • " Moral and Political Tendency of :Modern Novels," is somewhat too strait laced in its notions, though we cordially agree with the writer in his strictures on the vulgar flash school of fiction. "Fine Arts in England," is an animated and judicious essay, with this exception, that it greatly overrates the paintings of Martin and Danby, which are far indeed from being " the grandest works of art which areat Britain has ever produced." As for Danby, he is little better than a copyist of -Martin ; and Martin himself, though occa sionally sublime, is too often utterly deficient in nature, earnestness, and simplicity. YTECHNIC JOURIVA_T., Under the title of " Seas-union - Ship Canal," Mr. .T. Rule, among the multitude of schemes proposed for improvement in our eastern traffic, advances •his design of cutting a ne4 , canal west of Costa Rica, for the passing of ships of burden from . sea to spa through Central America. "On Animal Tuition and Animal Hygiene," lays - down specific regulations for the management of menageries and zoological conserva tories. Mr. Bagg's new process for printing silks and calicoes, by means of voltaic electricity; as also some remarks on electrotint painting, are each illus trative in their department. NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE. • In this Number there is an intelligent essay on the " Origin and Progress of Aristocratic • Taxation," which—observes the writer—" is to be traced to the feudal system, a System commonly supposed extinct, but really living and active in every, part of English polity—in a landed legislature, in laws of primogeni ture and practical entail, and in all the .aristocratic habits, forms, thoughts, and feelings of public and private life." In the article headed " Characteristics of Manchester". occur some spirited descriptions of the scenery in- the immediate neighbourhood of this wealthy metropolis of the cotton trade. MONTHLY MA GAZINE. There are several entertaining articles, in verse as well as prose, in the present number of this veteran periodical —now, we believe, an octogenarian in years ; and among them, we may mention, Miss Emily Spicer's poem entitled " The Old Nurse's .Tale," and a sensible prose essay on the subject of Lord Francis Egerton's late speech in the House of Commons on the Law of Marriage. THE METROPOLITAN. The "Irish Barrister" resumes his legal sketches this month, with a memoir and character of Judge Foster, so well known in the House of Commons, some fourteen or fifteen years since, for his dull, pro lix .speeches against Catholic Emancipation—a mea sure which he ultimately saw cause to concede. The writer describes him as being a passable Judge, " but without exception one of the kindest and most consi derate landlords in Ireland. His property is compa ratively small, and though lie might render his rent-roll more productive by at least one-third, as we heard from a competent authority, yet he hesi tates not to stcrafico so much to make his tenantry respectable and happy. He is one of those humane men who forego an advantage to themselves to in crease the comforts of others." This is high praise, and we wish it could be oftener applied with sincerity to Irish landlords. The "Equivocation" is a pleasing tale, which has the additional recommendation of pointing a useful moral. The remaining articles, in prose and verse, are of the usual calibre. GREAT WESTERN MAGAZINE. A miscellany chiefly devoted to American litera rature, of which it furnishes us with one or two favourable prose specimens. The critical notice of Mr. Lester's late frashy volumes, " The Glory and Shame of England," is highly creditable to the Re viewer's sense of justio.. " Wakondah, a Poem," contains some striking thoughts ; but the Sonnet on Keats," wherein the deceased poet is coi❑plimented on his " vast, quiet eyes," is merely a maudlin rhap sody of words. BRITISH FARAH?, S 2,11 A GA:7,I,NE. . . Among many Other servicahle remarks on agri cultural subjects,. ; we have here an excellent essay •on "the Effects of Temperature on Plants," which is cloudy the rc„sult of a long practical acquaintance with the subject; and may, therefore, be consulted with advantage. AUSTRALIAN 'MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Those who take an interest in matters respecting our Australian and New Zealand settlements, will find much practical information in this Magazine ; which is expressly devoted to the consideration of these matters.. LONDON UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The chief article in this number is a criticism on " Childe Harold and the Excursion," wherein we are assured that " Childe Harold labours to exalt nature above man, by a series of contrasts, as Use as they are degrading. The Excursion exalts both, but nature in due subserviency to man, whom it recognizes as lord of the creation, not less by superiority of endow ment than by divine appointment. While we sub scribe in part to this opinion, we must protest acrainst the undue severity of the strictures on Childe 'Tarok]. which has already taken its place amongst the finest poems that modern times have produced. Let 'Words worth have all the praise, that is his due—and no man descr4s higher praise—but let him not be exalted at the expense of Byron. There is abundant room for both in the temple of Fame, and one need not jostle the other The remarks on " Sir Philip Sidney:' are in good taste. Be was indeed one of those rare indi viduals who, to quote the critic's words, " scaled the difficult heights of excellence, and . came near to their unattainable. summit." QUEEN'S MAGAZINE. A cheap and amusing monthly miscellany of litera ture and art, and containing. a picturesque sketch of the new church at Hanwell, in Middlesex, of which a pleasing view may be obtained from the Great Western Railway. BRITISH MAGAZINE. The dietaries and fastings of ancient Lent-times, as noticed in the charges and sarmons of preachers co temporary with the Reformation, furnish some pas sages of quaint eloquence in a first article. " Catholic Architecture, and its Sepulchral Memorials," shows the excellent tendency, 'exhibited by that school in peculiarity of its forms arid sculptures, the sympathies and senses of men. The paper on the "Ad am ic image is the work of a scholar, and:Behmen's hypothesis, therein treated of, finds an apt .annotator : the same hand would handle well. the theory of the luminous body which Madame Bourignon, in common wit!. Behmen and the Caballists, ascribes to the prototypa 7 man. A body of correspondence upon church matters and discussional points, de rebith swietig, fills up' the number. • CHURCH OF ENGLAND IVIAG4ZINR. This weekly Ecclesiastical Miscellany continues tc furnish, in the usual creditable style, its quota of ser mons, verse and sacred reading for devOtional minds The republication of liuress's sound lectures on thc " Seven Churches of Asia,' is a novel and good fea ture ; they contain substance and learning, and totally differ, on this point, from the diluted and vague enun ciations delivered from the chairs and pulpits of the present day. MONTHLY BELLE A.S'SEMBLEE. The usual variety of romantic tales and poetical effusions contributes to make the fourth number of this Magazine as entertaining as its predecessors. It contains a very passable engraving of a young female ; representative of " Adoration." • NEWTON ST. CYRES..--FATAL ACCIDENT.—A me lancholy accident occurred early fCSterday (Thursday) morning, at the mangane7•e mines of J. Quicke, Esq., near this place, by which two labourers were killed, third escaping as if by miracle. About five o'clock yes terday morning, Mr. Pope, a hat-maker, residing nem the " Fine Oak," was awoke by cries of distress ; and or proceeding to the spot, he found a man just escaping from the mouth of the alit of the mine, who informet' him that, as himself and two others were at work at flu other end of the lateral shaft, the water suddenly burst in upon them, carrying him the whole length of the alit to its mouth, whence he had just escaped. Mr. Pope, of proceeding to the mouth of the adit, saw the body of on( of the unfortunate sufferers in the water, entangle(' between a wheelbarrow and one of these upright timbers. He immediately procured assistance, and extricated the body, but life was extinct. About ten minutes after wards, the body of the other man was found farther u; the adit, also entangled in timbers.—The names of the unfortunate deceased are John Crump and John Barnes. John Crump was about twenty-five years of age, and had been married only twelve months. John Barnes has left a wife and four children to deplore the untimely loss. The bodies now await a coroner a inquest —Exeter Ga:. TUB LATE EARL OF . 111uNsTmt"s GRAND. ATIIER. (FR! .lil A C O RRESPONDENT.)—The father. of Mrs. Jordan was Francis Bland, Esq. He died at Dever, on his way to France. Mrs. Jordan was his natural daughter, but he left two children by his wife, the late Colonel Bland, of Killarney, and Mrs. lieWson, relict of the Rev. Robert liewson, of Kilcolman, Kerry. Sir P. Lumm, B,art., his cousin, erected a monument to his memory in the church of Killarney. SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF DEFORMITIES of the L IM BS. Mr. Amesbury- has introduced very successful ,nodes of treating deformities, &c. it appears from his work, entitled " Practical Remarks on Deformi t:c.s, Weakness, and Stitiness of the Spine, Chest, and Limbs," that in some cases of knock-knee, or in ]:n ee, the limbs may be straightened by his. plan in two ,or three days, without operation, and without producing pain. It requires, however, some months to perl? , ,,t the restoration of the parts. The following iveli ease, copied from the sS'alisbury artd.Win che,4,T Jim,•;ial, is illustrative of this treatment : To THE EDITOR. Of THE " SALISI.ITEX AND WINCHES- TER JOURNAL, • The Parsonage House, Amesbury, Wiltshire. Sir,—l send you the following letter, as a testi mony to Mr. Amesbury's new mode of treating. de -I;ifinities r.f the limbs. and . if you should be pleased to give it insertion in your Journal, the subject of it may not be uninteresting to some of your readers. My fourta son, now eleven years of age, wis from h!s infancy rather an unhealthy child, and at an early period Wft3 the subject of great weakness in his ankles and legs. As he grew, this weakness increased to distortion, and he became • what is commonly called very knock -kneed-so much so, indeed, that it was evident he would be a cripple for life, if some means were not speedily adopted to stay the-progress of the deformity. An eminent surgeon in the country, George Sampson, Esq., recommended me to take him to Joseph Amesbury, Esq., a surgeon in London. I did so accordingly, in August, 1839, the boy being then nine years old.. At this time, when standing up with his kness together, the ankles, instead of touch ing each other, were eight inches asunder. Upon examination, Mr. Amesbury pronounced the case to be a bad one of its land, but still curable. He di rected the use of his leg-supports, which he procured, and shoeS of a particular construction, and that fric tion should be applied to the affected parts, promising me that, if his instructions were strictly attended to, the evil would be removed in the course of two years. The instructions have been strictly attended to, and the promise more than fulfilled; the deformity having been cured within eighteen months, and the leg-sup ports having been since worn only until the muscles and other parts,should have fully recovered their pro per tone and strength. The boy paid his last visit to Jr. Amesbury about ten days since, and returned home last week free and unfettered, in high health and spirits, with as good a pair of legs as I could wish him. During the first year and a half he visited Amesbury occasionally, and, with the exception of the short absences when he was in town, for the purpose of being seen by Mr. A., he has been at home, suffer,- ing no pain, and scarcely any inconvenience, from the treatment prescribed, growing rapidly in height, and in perfect good health. Sir Edmund and Lady Antrobus, Hyde Park corner, Piccadilly, Londob, most kindly took charge of the little patient, on the occasion of his several visits to Mr.. Amesbury; and, I doubt not, will be . happy to bear testimony to that gentleman's' successful treat ment of this case.—l have the honour to be, Sir,- Your most obedient servant, FULMAR WM. FOWLE. ARMY. Ships ordered for survey by the East India Company, to convey troops to either Calcutta, Madras, or Bombay, as the Company may direct, they giving-the owners no tice of the ships' destination three days previous to the embarkntiou of the troops : Glenswelty 632 tons.

Beulah 430 .159 570 463 749 578 They are to sail by the 12th or 15th instant. The Com pally may detain the ships at the usual rate of demur rage, while the owners are this, time liable to double the usual penalty for delay on their part. The vessels are also to proceed direct to the port of destination, and are not to call anywhere on their passage out (accident of course excepted). The ships Albion, Captain Smith, and the Lord Brougham, have been accepted •by the Admiralty to convey about 350 troops from Cork to Quebec. The thriller ship was employed on this service in 1840 and last year.

'About 70 ships were offered to the India Company ; it is expected they will speedily require as large a num ber as have non been accepted.

A requisition, of which the following is a copy, has been received by theiord•Mayor : " We; the undersigned, members of the Court of Com mon Council,• request pair Lordship will convene a Court of Common Council at art early date fur the pur pose of considering the propriety of addressing the Queen on • the distressed state of the people, and praying her Majesty to adopt all constitutional means for alleviating such distress by the mmoval of restrictions on the importation of food." The requisition was signed by 80 of the most re spectable and influential members of the Court., and his Lordship fixed Tuesday next for the' discussion, which is to be commenced by Mr. Taylor, the new member for Farringdon Without. It is said that the whole subject of the condition of the country, and the proposition of the Minister to meet the difficulties by an income tax, will be introduced. • CIIURCH•RATES-ST. LUKE'S, MIDDLESEX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Sin,—St. Barnabas, Kin g - square , was f or merly a chapel of ease, and while so, was allowed a sum of about 144/.155. Gd. per annum (for wine,l2l.

But this chapel has had within the last four months a district assigned to it, and in the same Gazette St. Paul, Bunhill-row, is also announced as a district church. To the credit of St. Paul, they have never applied for assistance ; but St. Barnabas, having previously had those several items paid by the parish, again applied to have the same allowance continued, notwithstanding the St. Barnabas' gentlemen had claimed the dues arising from a funeral in the vault, and when the church ardens demanded them on the part of the parish, it was refused. Therefore, it is thought that as St. Barnabas claimed all they had a right to do by law, that the parish ought not to pay more than the law will compel them. The parishioners who entertained this opinion got up the following requisition : "To take into consideration the propriety of dig- Countenancing the allowances to St. Barnabas, in con sequence of its having been recently made a district church." _ _ _ This requisition was placed on the notice of the day, and discussed, and the result was that those al low nces should be continued, upon which a ballot. was 'derrianded, and, the Vestry determined the demand for the ballot 'ShOuld be printed, accompanied by a letter from the Ilev. Gentleman of St. Barnabas, and circulated through the whole parish. I cannot close this without saying the • opposition is only against the rate, and not against the Rev. Gentleman, whom. I sincerely believe lives in the es teem of every parishioner. My object in sending you these particulars, is in the hope you will use your influence in calling upon the parishioners to resist this demand, assert their right, or they must submit to such degradation as they will not be likely ever to shake oft The poll by ballot commenced this day, and con tinues on Thursday from ten to four, and Friday at ten and closes at five.—Yours, &c., March 30, 1842.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 2, 1842. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—It is an old saying, that oae half the .world knows not how the other hillf lives; but this preverb will begin to lose its force if Sir Robert he succeeds in bringing into operation the inqiiisitorial machinery for collecting his income tax. It might appear prima facie a good thing that the real means of all men should be known, in order to, prevent the keeping up of false appearances ; but the fact is, the. proposed measure will vexatiously. and needlessly lay bare. the concerns of many who have no int- proper motive i;a- seeresy, while it will enable those whose desire it is to deceive the world by the ap pearance - of ample means; to effiect their object with greater. facility than hithertta A few additional pounds devoted to the income tax will bci soon repaid' in the additional credit to be gained by the reputation of being rich ; and instead, .61' 'their being more en courageinent to straightforwardness under the pro posed new order of things, there will he every in ducement held. out to the practice of trickery. It does not; follow that all who are desirous of . keep ing the true state of their atfairs to themselves have a dishonest motive for doing/so ; and there. is nothing reprehensible in a disinclination that the world should be made aware of the contracted means on which many, by the frequent practice of acts of self-denial, contrive to preserve an appearance of competence. If the out cry against the inquisitorial nature of the income tax were confined to the sort of persons who desire to profit at the expense ofothers by seeming richer than they are, there might be something-in the argument that the public will have an opportunity of learning the real circumstances of one mother; but this isnot the case, and the hardship.of the inquisition will be most severely felt by those whose disinclination to it will arise from a laudable desire to preserve respect towards themselves, without doing an injury to anyone. The English people are noted for their disposition to keep themselves, as the saying is; "to themselves;" and the same cha ' racteristic that prompts 'them to repel intrusion on their society, induces them to dislike inquiry into their means of living—not 'occause they wish to ale ceive, hut on account of an innate repugnance they feel to being made the subjects of impertinent curiosity. An income tax is, therefore, peculiarly opposed to the national tastes and habits of Englishmen ; nor will the proposition of the Premier, to give an appeal to special com missioners, at all prevent the evil it -professes to remedy. In the days of the former income tax it was professed that secresy should be preserved ; but those.who remember the obnoxious impost will be able to say how far that profession was realised. It is within the knowledge of the. writer of these re marks, that a nobleman, since in the possession of considerable wealth, who had come somewhat tines:- pectedly to his title, and had been forced to abandon a profession of which he had commenced the pursuit, re turned fire hundred a year as the amount of his in come. Being a peer, the assessors conceived that eight hundred a year could not bp too low a'sum to rate him at ; but the nobleman in question had truly stated the extent of his means, • and having proved the fact to he as he had represented it, the tax was reduced accordingly. In spitelof the secrecy to which the assessors were bound, this fact was known and talkA about in the volunteer regiment of which his lordship was the colonel; and should the income tax come again into operation, such will be the sort of delicacy that will be observed by the "special commis sioners," or some of tha numerous, " parties" that they will be empowered to bring - before them. STANDARD.—A thin meeting, whether a meet absolutely or comoaratirply thin—of the great ward of Farringdon. Without dues not testify much in fa vour of the whisper ; for a thin meeting held for a great and populous .district must be a thin expression of opinion—the whisper " attenuates doubly as. it s sphere expands ;" and—certain it is that all the meet ings called to oppose the income tax have been very, very-- thin. , A Manchester correspondent iris, indeed, favoured us with a handbill, from which we see that " the Leaguers " have at length proceeded to the dangerous length of taking the anir into their own hands, as far as regards the metropolis of mill owners. how far they may succeed in helping " the whisper of a . faction " in Lancashire it would be rash to conjecture ; but beyond the limits of the factory land, the movement of the League must have an influence the most favourable to the Ministerial plan. The agriculturists and the colonial interest, and all others committed' to our national industry, must see at a glance, what the Leaguers see already, or they would not act as they are acting, that there is nothing between an income tax and a recourse to free trade in its wildest and most ruinous form, including, of course, an abo lition of the Corn-laws, with a substituted fixed duty, imposed for time sa!me of revenue—that is, in the strict and only true sense of the phrase, a bread fax. Lord John Russell, indeed, when he offered his last year's budget, said just the same thing. , W - have little fear that the agriculturists will be led by such seducers as the Leaguemnen to help out " the whisper." There is, besides, a consideration- to which all classes of the people will be awakened, when they find the Lea guers coming forward to'oppose an income taL Who have rendered such a tax necessary-, or :at least who are they who have iendcnl necessary this or some other extraordinary coup de finace 7 Are they. not - the late i\linisters who have imposed the necessity—the I.inistry supported against the public opinion of England, litst by Mr. O'Con nell, next by the League—and which sold itself for such support successively to the one and the other ? This is a consideration which must not be lost sight of for a moment. Mr. O'Conn e ll an d t h e League are as fairly responsible for the difficulties inherited by the present Cabinet, as the poor creatures whom they retained in office to do their will, and who created those difficulties under such circumstances as no men ever before drew like embarrassm en t s upon a na ti on . I CORN•LAWS AND THE TARIFF. Mr. Handley has published the following address to the farmers of South Lincolnshire " My late connection with you will, I trust, plead' my apology for this address. " The cry of protection to agriculture gulled the far mers of England at the late elections into the belief that their property was ,only safe under the guidance of Sir Robert Peel. The result of that misplaced confidence has been the introduction of a Corn Bill which has redu ced the protection on wheat one half, and on Spring corn to a point which has alarmed even the most confi ding. Emboldened by your apathy and the subservi ency of the representatives of agricultural constituences, Sir Robert Peel has dared to propose the imposition of an income tax—so odious and inquisitorial in its nature that the country would not endure it in 1816, although the deficiencies of the public in come were :nearly twenty-fold what they are now. This tax it. is propoSed to levy upon trade and manu factures, to the extent of three per cent. ; but by taxing bot 4, landlord and tenant, ,to impos e u p on l an d per cent.! And as if the blow.were not sufficiently heavy to mark his gratitude towards those who have raised him to power, he proposes to fill the measure of his in justice to your class, by applying the principles of free trade to almost every article of your produce, as is ex emplified in his tariff. "At length the farmers of the North Division are roused to action, and a meeting of this great county is to be called by the High Sheriff for Monday next, at Lincoln. Your representatives will doubtless attend ; and it is for you to afford them the opportunity of con veying to the House of Commons; on the following day, a contradiction to the bold. statements of Sir Robert Peel and Sir Edward Knatclibull that you arc satisfied with the proposed measures. " I well know the reluctance with which you leare your homes and occupations, and I duly appreciate the inconvenience of so long a journey to many of you ; but y,ur existence as men of property is at stake ; your pro visions for your families sire endangered ; • the proceeds of your hard-earned industry arc about to be plundered in silence " Rouse yourselves for this one exertion—perhaps the last it will be worth your NO - die to make ; and, sinking all minor inconveniences, rally in the Castle•yard, to re monstrate in terms of determination that shall even make Sir Robert Peel pause in his career of ruinous justice.• ," HEM-RY HANDLEY.

Sir,--t have attended the fairs held in this county during , the • last twenty years, but never have I expe rienced such a sudden and totally unexpected deprecia :tion in the value of stoc!.:. as at this fair to-day. The gene ral observation. among the farmers was, " This is Mr. Peel's promised benefits to the farming interest : will our landlords again compel us to vote for the Tories ?" If I had not seen several lots of cattle sold at prices so rairous, I could not have. credited it. A dealer was marking a lot of good steers he had bought at 15/. each; a friend of mine, who stood by at the tune, • and who is known to be a judge of stock, assured me the price was wider 4d. per lb.—the greatest part of them now good Meat, fit for the hint:iv:l., and, three months since, would have sold .at 22/. each !! ! The prices ofrered being generally so low, caused large droves to be driven home unsold ; fat sheep also were unsaleable even at consider ably reduced prices. I rent. a large farm, which has been.in my family many years.; under.pre , ;ent prospects my only course will be to give notice to leave, and take my. family to scone whey country (probably the United States), where I shall not be compelled by toy landlord to vote for Tories, nor to pay a tax upon may income, which is every day decreasing under a real "sliding;- scale." .

The following memorial has been agreed to at Shef field, and signed by gre a t num b ers o f the inhabitants : TO JOHN PARKER AND HENRY G. WARD, ESQRS., MEM BERS OF PARLIAMENT FOR THE BOROUGH OF SHEF FIELD. The memorial of the -undersigned Bankers, Hier ' chants, Tradespeople, and other Inhabitants of ; he borough of Sheffield : .Sheweth,--That the merchants, manufactur ers , an d tradespeople generally of, .Sheffield are suffering under extreme commercial depressiOn, their concerns being almost unprofitable ; and it being a question with many, whether they should continue, in the hope of an improve ment in trade, or put up wit h the first loss by wholly closing their undertakings ; and that this distress is rapidly increasing. That your memorialists have heard with extreme con cern, that it is in contemplation to impose an income tax on the people of this country, as a means of raising a revenue, That such a tax is sufficiently burdensome in prospe rous times ; but, under our present circumstances, will be felt with peculiar hardship by those who are strug gling for a subsistence. That many whose families are large, and whose expen diture is necessarily heavy, must abridge themselves of the ordinary comforts of life to pay this tax. That we believe it will induce not a few to withdraw from business, entirely to avoid the vexatious and un constitutional exhibition of their commercial affairs, which must of necessity exist under such an impost. That in the manufacturing districts, where much pres sure now exists, the tax will 'IIC numerous instances be paid, not by sparing the superfluities of life, but by ceaiing to consume manufactured articles, and by the dismissal of servants and labourers, thus causing the tax to press heavily on the working classes. That such a tax is a direct premium on fraud and perj . l . l ry. Thal very many are now carrying on trade without profit, whose success will depend on their credit ; and that such dare not risk the exposure of their aetual condition, but, to keep up appearances, must pay mueh beyond what justice requires ; and that such payments will, in many cases (if the Bill Come into operation) be made out of the property of their creditors. That whilst we admit the necessity of providing for the public wants of the country, and whilst we deprecate all taxes which fall peculiarly on the industry of the community, we regard the present vexatious and unequal berden as utterly uncalled for, and as the price paid for the maintenance of the bread and sugar monopolies. Your memorialists therefore respectfully, but urgently request that you will omit no opportunity of resisting the imposition of this unjustifiable tax. DARLINGTON. On Wednesday afternoon, the 30th ult., a highly re spectable meeting was held in the Town-hall, convened by circular, for the purpose cf taking into consideration the income tax proposed by Sir Robert Peel. Edward Pease, Esq., having been called to the chair, elipressed in Strong terms his aversion to ft tax of this kind, con tending that no necessity existed for such an impost, and gave instances of its harrassing operation when a tax of this kind was last in force. The meeting was also ad dressed in a similar strain by Joseph Pease, sen., Egg., Edward Oxley, John Kipling, and John Nixon, Esqrs., all uniting in denouncing the " financial scheme" of Sir R. Peel as most unjust and inquisitorial, and a Commit tee was appointed to draw up an address to the Queen, and a petition to the House of Lords, expressive of the views of the meeting; and the Committee have since agreed upon the following for signature and presentation. The meeting was most unanimous, and but for the short no tie, allowed would have been more numerously attended, as the measure is very unpopular in this district. The respectability of the meeting was, however, unquestion able : To THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS IN PAR- LTA:VENT ASSEMBLED. The humble petition of tho undersigned Gentlemen; Bankers; Merchants, Traders, and other Inhabitants of the town of Darlington : Sheweth,—That youi: petitioners respectfully beg to call your Lordships' . most serious atten►ion to the Bill now in progress to raise the supplies by imposing a tax upon income. _ It appears to your petitioners that a tax so oppressive, and so inquisitorial in its operation ought never to be reorted to in a free, and more particularly in a com mercial country, except upon the most urgent ne cessity,when every other source has failed to supply the deficiency of the revenue. This, we submit, is not applicable to the state of the country, no such necessity having been shown to justify the im posing so vexatious a burden as an income tax upon the people. Your petitioners urge to your Lordships, in the most decided manner, that the projected obnoxious mea sure of an income tax, if passed into a law, would in flict the deepest injury on the industry of those engaged in trade and commerce, and from the inquisitorial pro cess adopted in levying it, would cause a most injurious exposure of the affairs of individuals, destroy that confidence which is so ' essential to the prosperity of ,trade, and surround our commercial transac tions with an intricate webb of espionage disgraceful to a Government based on constitutional principles. For these reasons your petitioners most respectfully entreat your Lordships to reject any bill by which the trade and commerce of the country would be, so deeply injured, which it must inevitably be, if so unjust and inquisitorial a measure, as that now proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, shoidd-be passed into a law. And your petitioners will ever pray. N.B.—Both the address and the petition were signed by those present, and they have been already signed by a large number of the inhabitants of Darlington. " TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, the dutiful and loyal subjects yf your Majesty, the undersigned gentlemen, bankers, merchants, traders, and other inhabitants of the town of Darlington, beg leave, humbly and respectfully, to represent to your Ma jesty that we have heard with great apprehension and regret that a tax is about to be re, ivied on. the income arising from trades and professions, and which we hum bly beg leave to state is, in the opinion of your peti tioners, most unjust in principlo, and will be found most oppressive in its operation. • " That such a tax is considered by your petitioners as only justifiable as a last resource, - in a period Of extreme danger and distress, and that there is nothing in the pre sent state of the nation which either requires or justifies its imposition. " That many also of your petitioners have too much reason to remember the great oppression and hardship which attended the collection of such a tax on a former occasion, the sufferings which from its compulsory pay ment it entailed on the middlejAasses of the community, and the consequences which followed the unavoidable exposure of the affairs of individuals, repulsive to every sentiment of propriety and good feeling, and which your petitioners most humbly beg leave to state was utterly contrary to the principles of constitutional freedom, end the just rights and privileges of Englishmen. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly and earnestly pray your Majesty not to give your royal sanction to the imposition upon your people of any tax upon income. " And your petitioners will ever pray." ST. MARTIN'S IN THE FIELDS REGISTRA TION AND REFORM SOCIETY. Thursday night a meeting of the above society was held at the Cambrian Tavern, Castle -street, Leicester•square, for the purpose of taking into consideration what men moos they should pursue in reference to the proposed tariff of her Majesty's Ministers, Mr. GIIAGAN having been c a lled to the chair, • Mr. Ellis, in moving the. following resolution—" That this society do protest against so unjust and inquisitorial a law as unnecessary while real property does not pay a farthing towards the burdens of the State"—said that the resolution was most congonial to his feelings. He, as a shopkeeper, with others, had • exerted themselves, and had succeeded in paying taxes without the inquisitorial interferance of a com missioner calling upon them to look into their books.— (Hear.) He when first a housekeeper, paid 201. a-year for the income tax, and at one time he was not able to pay it when called for ; the consequence of which was that an execution was put on his goods, and if he had not immediately paid it the execution would have been put in force.—(Hear.) Mr. Mumuou - sE seconded the resolution. Mr. SOAMES made a few- remarks in favour of the in . cc , :le tax. _ _ Mr. GRANT felt surprised that any gentleman should give his support to a measure of such an inquisitorial character. Mr. AUSTIN, a solicitor, observed that he had met many professional gentlemen, who were TorieS, and who depre cated the introduction oldie income tax. It might happen that an attorney had not an income above 2001. a-year, and that a person might be willing to engage him in under taking a cause in the litigation of which thousands would have to pass through his hands, but on going to Somer• set-house, finding the amount of his income not to ex ceed '2OO/. a year, he would refrain from entrusting the management of his affairs to him. Was it, t h erefore, not evident that the tax was inquisitorial ? A tax of a more oppressive nature could not be proposed. The CHAIRMAN' suggested, as an amendment to the resolution; that " real property does not pay a farthing to the burdens of the State, should be added, "in the shape of probate or property duty," as he considered that if a probate duty. were passed there would b e ni p neessity tin• an income tax. The resolution, as at-ileum, after a feW observations front Messrs. Hocken, rurfleet, &c., was agreed to, EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ABDUCI lON. •• (From tho Liverpool Mail.) SECOND DAY'S INVESTIGATION. ;The hearing of this case was resumed on Wednesday, at ten minutes before, three o'clock. The transaction had created .extraordinary excitement, and the Court was crowded to excess during the whole morning.• A number of highly respectable gentlemen surrounded the bench, and every corner of the Court from which the proceedings could be witnessed had its occupants. The neensed parties, John Orr M'Gill, John Osborne Quick, Thomas Wormand Rogerson, Richard Jones, Mar i rtret Joa es, and 'June Clayton, were again placed.at the Oar, when Mr. Snowball called the folk:vine' witnesses:— Tiw Rev. John Herman Stafford said--4 am a clergy man and a surrogate of this diocese. I recollect the sower Rogerson applying to me for a license ; he was accompanied by a 1)1.. Dunlevie, a surgeon. This was on the evening of the Ist o March. They said neither of them was the principal. I told them that it was necessary that one of the parties should be present to e.ive the affidavit before the license multi bee - ranted. One of them—l think it was 1)r. Dunk% le—asked if I could not fill up the affidavit, so as to be ready when die party appeared. I filled up the affidavit, and 1 - have it here (pro ducing the affidavit). I can hardly say positively whether it was Mr. the or 1)r. Dunlevie who told nte. Mr. Rogerson I conceive to be the brother of M'Gill, and rtherefiire think it was probably hint. I altered the date from the Ist to the od of March, and initialed the altera tion.—(The affidavit was read. It purported to be Mr. 111• G ill's affidavit, that he intended to marry Ann Crellin, that lie carried a license fur that purpose, and that he knew of no just cause or impediment thereunto, kc.) They asked if it would be convenient for me to be at the church the following day, to Swear the party and solem nise the marriage. When I filled up the form, Dr. Dun lovie remarked that it was a friend of his that intended to be married, and it was not convenient for hitn to at tend then. Mr. Rogerson said he was the brother of the party. I did not know that his name was Rogerson. I attended at the church the following day, to solemnise the marriage. The marriage 'WAS not solemnised nor the license completed, for after wahing some time in the vestry Mr. Rogerson came in. I asked hint if the par ties were there. He stated that his brother had not ar rived, and he was pretty sure that he would not that day. I asked him if lie had not seen hint the evening before, and arranged with him. He said he had, but he was pretty sure he would not come that day, and he would not give me the trouble of waiting any longer. I saw a car waiting at the church gates. Ido not think Rogerson returned to it. I saw, I think, it was Mr. Rogerson and Dr. Dunlevie, talk ing to a lady whose back was turned to me. She was dressed in either a scarlet cloak or shawl. 1 should not know the lady awain. She and 1)r. DanleVie got into the ear and drove off. Last week I saw Mr. Rogerson alone. Ire asked me if it would be convenient for me to attend in the church that morning to marry those parties. I think it was on Wednesday or Thursday. I asked why the marriage was not solemnised at the former appointed time. lie said there was some disagreement about set tlements. He said the parties,.. in the meantime, had taken a trip and got married together at Gretna green. Nothing further took place except settling the hour. I attended the church, but the parties did not come. Mrs. Catherine George, landlady of the •George and Vulture, Houghton-street, examined by, Mr. -Snow ball.—l have known the prisoner Quick about twelve months. I recollect his coming to our house some time in March. The first party that came to our horse was Mrs. Clayton, on the 10th of March. She said she wanted to ask a favour of me. She said she was going to bring a lady to our house to meet a Mr. Martin, " but," said she, " it's not to meet Mr. Martin, it's to meet Mr. M'Gill, and when she comes you must tell her that Martin was here last night, and that he will be here again to-night." I said, " what is it all about ?" She said, " well, there is a lady who is worth a great deal of property, and she went twelt arch with Mr. M'Gill, some time ago. and made a complete fool of him, and he has tried every way to get to see her, and her friends or some one have denied her to him, and they are now con triving this way to get her to meet him." While she was in, Mr. Quick came in. He asked her whether she had seen Miss Crellin. She said she had not been fur her, but she would go then. •She went, and lie remained till she returned. When she returned she said Miss Crellin had gone out, but she had left a note for her, and she would be sure to be down this evening. They went away together. In the evening Miss Crellin, Mrs. Chamlev, and Mr. Jones came about half-past nine. We had a dancing party that night, and Mr. Quick was up stairs. I went, and told him that the ladies had come. I told. him that there was a gentleman there that I knew from his manner was a friend of Miss Crellin. He asked me to describe him, and I did, upon which he said, " Oh, call him out, he's a friend of mine." I called him out, and they went to the door together. It was Jones, the prisoner at the bar. They returned together, and Mr. Quick said he wanted to get rid of one of the ladies. Ile went up stairs again, saying I was to let Mr. Jo nes h ave w h a t ever h e called for to drink. Witness proceeded to state that Mr. Jones requested her to let him have some money, saying that Quick would refund it, but she only let him have sixpence. Quick, by and by, took his departure, and the other three went away together afterwards. Martin had not been at witness's house, but she knew him, and de scribed him to Miss Crellin, who told her how he had got her money from her. next day Miss Crellin and Mrs. Chamley again came to my house - to ask if Martin had been there on the preceding night. I told them he had not. While we were talking Mr. Quick came in. Ile asked how the child was. He had not attended my child, and I had no child ill. He went forward into the kitchen. Here he said this was a plot laid to catch " the • old devil," which site could not get out of. He afterwards went into the bar and spoke to them. I afterwards heard of the wedding. I saw Mrs. Clayton on Sunday last. She said she had been to Gretna Green, and Miss Crain was married. I made answer, what a shameful piece of business it wns. "Oh !" said she, "it served la r right." I said %what a villain Mr. Jones must be, end his wife. She said it served Miss Crellin right, she had served many a one out. I said that did not matter. She said after the wedding she got quite agreeable to it. She had a shawl on, which she said had been bought for her at Carlisle, and they bought Miss Crellin one like it. She said she had to sleep with her on her wedding night ; Miss Crel lin had made a piece of work and was going mad, and she had to lie down with her for quietness. She said M'Gill slept in the same bed. She said she expected a very handsome present, and when it was all settled she said she would speak to the parties to have a ball at our house. On the first day when Mrs. Clayton came to our house, she said they had employed her to work it out for them, mentioning Mr. M'Gill and Mr. Quick. • By Mr. Grocott—She (Mrs. Clayton) did not tell me whether the marriage was consummated or not. She told me that Miss Crellin had jilted several persons. Mr. Quick was in the habit of attending a quadrille party at our house. Mr. William Denman examined by Mr. Snowball—l am a paper-ruler, and carry on business in St. Thomas's buildings. I recollect seeing Mr. Quick one day last week. It was on Tuesday or Wednesday. I had been taking a walk with a friend of mine. Mr. Quick was standing at the door of Mrs. Rogerson's house, in Boun dary-street. The person who was with me addressed him, and he proceeded with us to the house of a friend in Boundary-street. In the course of a few minutes after we entered the conversation began 'by his addressing some ladies. "Well, you have - lost Johnny," whom I understood to have been Mr. lle (Mr. Quick) said, be and Mr. M'Gill had been to Gretna-green, get ting M‘Gill married to Miss Crellin. The question was asked, " Where?" and he said, " Oh, at Gretna ;" and he proceeded thus :—"*Oh, we've had a d—d fine spree ; we put the old devil into a coach, and otf we drove to Carlisle. When we got to Carlisle we persuaded the old devil we were in Warrington." 'there was a long dialogue between him and the persons of the house, who said the proceeding was extremely unjust and improper. I said, how was it that she (lid not know the difference between Carlisle and Warrington ? lle said, "Oh, the old devil is drunk. From Carlisle we took a post-chaise and drove off to. Gretna-green, and got married." Ile said she was worth some 60,0001. or 70,000 L, or thereabouts. He stated that she could smoke a great number of cigars, and drink brandy " till all was blue."—(Loud laughter.) It was repeatedly stated that their transaction was very improper and unjust. Ile said, " Oh, it was correct enough, for the laws of Scot land differed from the laws of England. He was very glad they had served her so, for she had jilted several." Mr. Snowball suggested to Mr. Rushton the propriety of adjourning the case until the next day. Mr. Rushton assented, and the prisoners were ordered to be remanded until this day (Thursday). Mr. Grocott applied, on behalf of Quick, for permis sion for that individual to see his wife and some mem bers of his family. Mr. Rushton said the case had now assumed so serious an aspect, that he could not comply with his request. The prisoner's solicitor would, however, have access to them in the usual manner. (From the Liver/we/Mercury of Friday.) THIRD DAY'S INVESTIGATION. The prisoners, along with James Dunlevie, whose name has frequently occurred in the course of the exa mination, were placed in the dock at twenty-five minutes to three o'clock. Mr. Grecott said that Dr. Dunlevie had been brought there as a witness for the defendants, and as he (lid not think there was anything to implicate him with the transaction, further than going for the license, he hoped he might be discharged. INEr. Rushton intimated that it was his duty not to allow any person implicated in this affair to escape, and he certainly thought there was evidence sufficient to de tain Dr. Dunlevie. Mr. Snowball proceeded with the witnesses for the prosecution. - James Mead, car-driver to firs. Sharpies, Egremont hotel, recollected driving ])r. Dunlevie, Rogerson, M'Gill, Mrs. Dunlevie, Mrs. Jones, and Miss Crellin, in a coach to Bidston, a short time ago. He drove them from Dr. Dunlevie's house to the Ring of Bells, at Bid ston ; thence he took them to Dr. Dur.levie's again, where he pulled up only for a moment or two; and then drove them to Egremont Philip Hagan, dealer in cigars, recollected being at Mr. Fryer's public-house, North John-street, on the evening of the 23d of March. When he was there, Messrs. Jones, Duval, and WoOd, came in. Wood said to witness, " This is Mr. Jones, who has been at Gretna green with Mr. M'Gill, getting married." They asked Jones to give an account of the trip to Gretna-green. Jones said Aliss Crellin was drunk when they started, and they kept her drunk all the way. When they were going intofarlisle, Miss Crellin asked where she was, and Jones said they were about a quarter of a mile from Warrington. Miss Crellin said she must get home that night, and Jones replied that they would all be home that night. They then went to Gretna-green, and got married. Inspector R. Campbell of the Liverpool Police, recol looted Mi-s. Clayton charging Mr. Martin with stealing :2U from her. She stated that sh e h a d rece i ve d 20/. from him for the trouble she had with him, and .that two or three day.; after he demanded this money back again. She refused to give it up, and one day when she was out, he had gone to her cupboard and taken '331. out of a. purse. Clayton and Martin (who afterwards ~a ce his m nae in Bridewell a s 1) r . Copeland) were .t hen brow:lit to the office of Mr. Dowling, who ordered Copeland to be locked up. Next day he was brought b e f ore M r. Rushton and discharged, Clayton not appearing against him. Clayton told the witness that she had given Cope land a receipt for 20/., and this receipt was found upon Lim in Bridewell, as well as another receipt for 201., signed by Richard Jones. Mr. Drvden,a surgeon, who was examined at length, sad made statements little creditable to the pa - Aiesquirxc'd up in this foolish affair, not excepting the lady married against her will. Mr. Snowball then intimated that this was his case. Mr. CI rocott wished to address the Court on belia'r of Ur. Dunlevie and Rogerson, maintaining there vins no thing to implicate them in the transaction after being at St. Paul's church. Mr. Rushton was of a different opinion. 1)r. Dunlevie wished to make a statement. Mr. Rushton thought he had better reserve it, for he did not think that anything he could say would alter his present decision. Dr. Dunlevie still persisted in his desire to address the Court, and after being cautioned that anything he said might and would be used against him, he proceeded —" The only object I had in making a statement is to show you how innocently I have been introduced into this circumstance. About the Ist of March Miss Crellin, accompanied by another female whom I never saw in my life before, came with M`Gill to my house and lodged. They gent to Bidston, and during the -time of the journey, I observed a very considerable degree of fami liarity and intimacy passing between Miss Crellin and M`Gill. We eventually went to Bidston, and there I heard M‘Gill make an observation to Crellin to the effect of asking her would she niarry him ; to which I understood her to assent. The same question was repeated again, and with a like effect.. M‘Gill, in addition, stated to me in the lighthouse that she promised to marry Lim, and subsequently to go to Dublin by mail packet of the suc ceeding night. We dined and returned from Iliciston to Egreniont,.and then Rogerson :having again questioned as to Miss Crain having said the would marry him, he said she had. In consequence of this Rogerson said, "I think there would be no harm in inquiring after the license, if this be the case." I said that under the circumstances I thought-there would be no harm in it, and we accordingly went to Mr. Stafford to inquire about it, having known Mr. Stafford, who was a fellow .student of mine at College. We then spoke to Mr. Stafford on the subject., and he asked us if either of us was the party, to which we replied that neither of us was. I understood Mr. StafThrd to say, that in order to oblige the parties, he would prepare a license, and have it •with him in the church, to have it filled up in the morning. I then returned home, and by invitation went to break fast in time morning at the hotel. We then breakfasted, and during the time the circumstances of the brandy and water took place, which I will explain. There was some brandy on a side table, and it being a very wet morning, some one said, would a little drop of brandy in the tea do :Inv harm ? Miss Crellin then appealed to me, and said, " 1)o you think a little drop of brandy would do me any harm?" I replied that I thought a little would not in: e her, and she accordingly had some. When breakfast was over, and we were waiting to proceed by the boat to Li verpool, M`Gill said, the day being so wet, a glass of champagne would do no harm. A bottle was accordingly procured, of which each partook. I believe it was not finished, beeause it was not good, and we then proCeeded in the boat to Liverpool. During the passage, alluding to Miss Crellin and to the conversation I hCaed the previous evening, I made the observation that I•thought She had made - a very choice selecthal for herself, as Mr. • from what 1 had heard of him, was a very gentlemanly man. She replied she thought she had. I said to her then that as things w e re pretty nearly ready that we N;ould proceed, on our arrival at , time pier, to the church, to which I understood her to . assent;. and, in consequence, on our arrival at the pier, I accompanied them in a car to the church straight from the pier. The object of , going to the church was the subject of the conversation in the car. We arrived at the church door, and Miss Crellin then said, " What place is this ?" She was told it was the church. She said, " not be married at present. I must first consult my legal adviser as to the arrongment of my property." I at once said, " It* this is your decision or your wish, Miss Crellin, I think you are perfectly right and justified in acting so, and if I thought there was anything improper or dishonourable contemplated, I should not have accompanied you." We then went straight to Rogerson's house, and had some refreshinent. Afterwards the party went to the races, ‘m hich were going on at the time. They returned to dinner between five and six o'clock. After dinner I left, and there ended my connexion with the matter altogether, and I can assure the Court, and the gentle men conducting this prosecution, that I am as innocent of any knowledge or connexion with any impropriety as the being that is tut yet in exi6tence ; and if it would not belmpious, I would appeal for the truth of my asser tion to llun who knows my innocence of the matter. I have nothii.a; more to. say, only this, that being brought into the matter so innocently-, the danger and risk to my prospects in life are of such a nature as to induce me to ask the Court not to detain me, it* it can consistently Ivith its sense of justice. Mr. Rushton said, that even after hearing his state ment, he could not feel justified in doing so. Dr. Dunlevie—Would you admit me to bail, then ? Mr. Rushton intimated that, in the present state of the case, he could not feel justified in allowing any of the parties to go at large. lie did not know what turn the case might take, but he would have great pleasure in liberating him it' lie could do so with a due regard to ' justice. The case was then adjonrned, it being a quarter past six, and it will be brought on again not earlier than one o'clock to-day. ELECTION COMMITTEES. GREAT MARLOW. The Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. Austin proposed to go into a new class of objec tions. This was opposed by Mr. Sergeant Wrungham, and the Committee decided that one class of objections should be exhausted or abandoned before counsel should proceed to another. Thomas Corby, jun., was then objected to by the counsel for the sitting Member, and struck off the list of voters. Objection was then taken on behalf of the sitting members to the vote of George Brown. The objection was not disposed of when the Commit tee rose. WEYMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS. The Committee met at the usual hour,•and were occu pied all the morning in hearing the arguments which were commenced yesterday, and seem almost intermina ble, on the vote of James Maine, .objected to by the petitioners, beeanie he had removed between the periods of the registration and the election. Every decision henceforth will be of increasing interest an the petitioners and the sitting Members are now equally balanced on the poll, while the number of disputable votes is much reduced. On the conclusion of the lengthy arguments, the room was cleared, and the Committee decided that the vote of James Maine was a bad one. The next vote proceeded with was that of James Berridge, which was objected to by Mr. Cockburn, on the part of the petitioners, on the ground that he had bribed another person. J. Lovell, an ostler, at the King's Ilead, Weymorth, was called as a witness, and he deposed, that a voter. named Strickland, was offered money by Kerridgc if he would poll ; that he was subsequently offered a sovereign if he would poll again in the name of another man, John Bartlett, but that Strickland refused, urging, that he " had done one good deed already." The voter, Strickland. was also called, and stated ex pressly, that he was offered money to vote the second time, but he could not recollect the amount ; he did not think that any particular amount was offered. lie denied that any money was offered for going to the poll the first time. He did not ♦ole the second time, having refused, because " it would not do." George Bailey, a messenger, engaged at the polling booth, stated, that :he did not see Strickland poll. It appeared that he was sent out of the way by a trick, while the rote was polled. Mr. COCKBURN contended, that the law was clear that a person bribing another lost his own vote, and adduced various legal authorities defining the offence of corrupting and bribing, showing that it was immateri a l w h e th er th e party bribed voted or not. ThiS . question did nut now arise for the first time, but arose before one of the most memorable committees that ever sat, the first Ipswich Committee, on the vote of Arthur Butt Cook, which was struck off on the same objection as the present. lle con tended that the present vote came strictly within the de , cision given on this point, and recapitulated the facts as stated by the witnesses, in order to support his objec tion. He pointed out that no statute on the subject of bribery made it necessary that any specific sum should be offered ; the mere off e r of any reward, however vague, was quite sufficient to constitute the offence. If the evidence of the first witness was credited, the fact of bribery by Berridge was fully established, as it was of no importance whether the otter of reward was made to a bona fide or not. Mr. TALBOT said a more miserable case was never brought before a Committee ; the question was never raised in the present form before the. Ipswich Committee ; the decision .of that Com mittee had not been followed up, and there had even been a decision against it. The offer of a bribe by a voter was a high misdemeanour, but had not been held to disqualify the party offering it from voting. He went over the depositions of the witnesses, pointing, out some discrepancies between them. The case, at most, amounted only to an offer of money, not by any means proved, by a voter to another man not a voter, to person ate a third person. He contended that there was no decision taking away the franchise from the voter, making such an offer. Mr. Coexpunti replied, arguing that, from all the au thorities on the subject, it must be inferred, that a person directly or indirectly influencing a voter, not only those votes became illegal, but the party influencing was disqua lified from exercisini , his franchise. The Committee decided that the vote of Berridge was a bad vote. The vote of George Mace was objected to on the same ground, having accompanied Berridge during the trans actin with Strickland. The objection was supported by the evidence of the same witness, Lovell ; the otherA were not called. The arguments of Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Talbot on the evidence of this witness were to the same efrect as l in the preceding case. M r . Talbot contended that no evidence had been given as' to the tiine when - Mace:gtve his vote, and he might have polled before he made the - •
