BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE JOHN IVERY. _ . The bankrupt, who was described as a large builder and contractor of High Wycombe, having appeared in Court to pass his final examination, • Mr. JAMES (the barrister) opposed the bankrupt's passing on the part of several creditors on the ground that he had not received a true and satisfactory ac count in his balance-sheet. It appeared from the bankrupt's examination that a large waggon, drawn by several horses, having been left unattended on the road near Oxford, the .horses took fright And overturned the Oxford mail, whereby the coach was destroyed, several of the passengers dangerously wounded, and two horses killed. Inihis balance -sheet he had placed the . sum of 507/. on the expenses. incident to the accident, arising from law costs, damages, doctors' awl surgeons' bills, &c. 11. could produce no voucher or other document to establish the fact of having paid this sum or to show the different items of which it was formed. From the month of September-, to the month of June, he had drawn 1,3801. from his banker's hands, which it alleged was paid away in renewing accommodation bills, . but he had. none of those bills to produce now as evidence. The debts and liabilities amounted to between 6,0001. and 7,0001. and a great number of the debtors to his estate had emigrated to America,- as also had those who could give satisfactory evidence regarding some of the items contained in his schedule. Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE said he should not allow the.bankrupt to pass his final examination at present, as there was no satisfactory account rendered into Court, arid he should therefore order the further hearing to be adjourned sine die. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. • (Before the RECORDER.) CONSPIRACY.—The trial of Percival Hamilton Ch amberlayne, George Fuller, Jane Sophia Matilda */ert and Wm. Napier Reeve, which r occupied the IL „whole of yesterday, was resumed to-day. The defen 111o:tants were charged with conspiring together to bring ld false charge of felony and misdemeanour against the prosecutor, Thomas Alley Jones, who was last fifl,aesston tried upon an indictment, brought against him ‘.,l,by the defendants, charging him with felony, and i• I acquitted. The case, which appears likely to occupy the Court to a lath hour, had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) t UBEZZLEMENT.--.77t0M0.3, Porter, aged 17, was indicted for embezzling and stealing 12s. 9id. of . Joseph Shaw, his master. The case was clearly _ , proved.- The jury found the prisoaer Guilty, he was sentenced •to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Charles Poole, aged 25, a potman, convicted of a similar offence, and against whom there were two in dictments, was sentenced to nine months' imprison ment with hard labour. LARCENY BY A SERVANT.—Arthur Wood, aged 42 , a journeyman baker, was indicted for stealing two bushels of bread, value 165., the property of Robert Xing, his master. The prisoner, it appeared, had taken out 34 loaves of bread to deliver to a customer named Marlow. Marlow refused to receive the bread, and instead of bringing the bread back to his master,. the prisoner disposed of it to some one else, entering it at the same time in his master's books to the account of Marlow. Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury for the pri soner, and called several witnesses to character. The JURY found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. —He was sentenced to four months' impri sonment with hard labour. SHOPLIFTING.—EIizabeth Norris, aged 16, who had been previously convicted of felony, was charged With shoplifting.—Convicted, and sentenced to seven Years' transportation. William French, 19, and William Smith, 32, con- Victed of stealing 14 yards of calico from the shop of Thomas Manshidge, were- severally sentenced to six Months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Patrick Noonan, aged 12, and John Lechlan, aged 17, were indicted for stealing six brushes, value 45. 6d., the property of John Anthony-Winsland. The prosecutor had the brushes hanging at his shop door, and a policeman saw Lechlan take them IL, and hand .them to Noonan, on whom they were found. The Jury found them Guilty, and The ComstoN SERGEANT sentenced them severally x , to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, the ,last week of. the term to be passed in solitary eon fmement. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. uUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Wells, formerly of the Common Council, and Mr. Williams, of Ludgate-hill, and Mr. Clements, apPeared before Sir Peter Laurie this morning, to vindicate their. characters as members of the Board of Puardians of the WeSt LOridon Union, from asper sions which had been cast - upon them by Sir Peter Laurie, in his Magisterial capacity. One day last week, .a pauper of the name of John Horner, who had been placed at the same bar about twenty times before, was put forward, charged with disorderly and violent conduct in the Union. The Magistrate on that occasion dismissed the man, advising the master to put him on low diet when he became refractory. The man as he was leaving the bar said that the master of the Union was continually abs:nt, and the gatekeeper was continually drunk. Sir Peter Laurie said he considered that the Union, both with respect to the officers and the guardians was much to be condemned. It was to vindicate the board from this imputation that the three gentlemen above ap peared. Sir PETER LAURIE said he would prove to their satisfaction that this union was the worst regulated in London. He had in his hand a return made to him from the keeper of Bridewell, from which it ap- Peared that from the West London Union, 359 pri soners had been committed in one year, while in the same period, from the other unions, they did not ex ceed 100. He had been extremely lenient in his re marks upon the guardians, until one remark from the master, which was when he recommended that the men who were refractory should be put upon low diet, that if he did so the others would feed him better than before out of their own portions. "Now," con tinued. I, " that is very bad management. Why do you not put them i n t o so li tary con fi nement ?" Mr. Wells —We are nct allowed to do this—we dare not do it. Mr. Williams —This man, Horner considers you, Sir Pet er , hi s b est friend as you always discharge him. Th e o th er d ay when he came back he made the whole Union refractory. Sir PETER LAURIE—Bread and water is• the best punishment. Mr. Wells—Reports have gone the rounds of the Papers, Sir Peter, of your having said that the guar diaOs were to blame, and that th e o ffi cers were b a d. Sir . P. LAURIE—From investigation I have made think the charge of drunkenness was unfounded, and I find you have a very unthankful office to perform. Mr. Wells—As your impression is removed, Sir eter, that is all we want. Sir P. LAURIE said he had been mistaken, and he NV " sorry for the trouble he had given the guardians CLERKENWELL.--(THIS DAY.) bennis Denny was charsed as follows :- 1 appeared from the evidence& Inspector Penny t hat this time twelve months the prisoner was taken igto custody by police constable Chinks, 81.

He would sentence him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) John King and. Edward Williams, Medical students, ea ~ were charged with furiously driving and endangering the lives of the passengers. .( r/ i_ t! The, defe n d an t s were observed in the B r i x t on - rm d Ina chaise, which they were driving at a most furious rate. They ran the vehicle on the foot-path, to the Feat danger of women and children, and afterwards drove the chaise against a lamp-post, which it • smashed, and both the defendants were thrown out, b bi ' , Fine , of whom (Williams) sustained some severe eon .. 4usions on the head and body. They were both tipsy. Vt The defendants said that they had been dining out, 44 :47. 03 1. don their return the horse ran away with them, ► and they lost all control.

John Reeves and William Millar were charged with horsewhipping the toll-collector in the Borough-road. Last evening the defendants came up. to the above gate in a chaise cart, and endeavoured to pass through THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1842 LUDLOW- REFORM BANQUET. A dinner and presentation of plate to Colonel Salwey, which we have already alluded to elsewhere, took place on Tuesday last at the Golden Lion, Lud low. in the course of the evening the Gallant Colonel delivered a speech, from which we make the following extract:— 7" - """ 7 MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING. FROM THE 'MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—It was mentioned last week that a con signment_of indigo and cotton to the value of 112,000 London for the benefit of • the holders of Guatemala bonds. . It has since been stated, on authority, that the shipment alluded to was made at Realego, port in the Pacific, in . Nay last, On board the Monarch, Captain Lecheur,, and tha in . surance has been effected by an eminent firm, which has received the bills of lading. It is added that the shipment results from a large quantity . of tobacco, Obtained from the State of Costa Rica, in 1840, by the exertions of the British Consul there, on condition of that State being absolved from more than a stipu- - fated share of the original Guatemala debt. hence the distribution of the funds to arise from the consign ment above referred to is dependent upon the Con sul's instructions, in order that he may. secure the fulfilment of the condition by the bondholders before the distribution tak es pl ace .. The whole. debt (if Gua temala does not exceed 160,6001. or 170,0001., bear log 6 per cent.. interest. .Some correspondents, in respect tosrail way matters, ask for an explanation of the advance of the Black wall fares before the period mentioned in the report, which was. the Ist of next "month. -We apprehend that the only satisfactory explanation able to be given is, that ' the Directors wish to prepare . . themselves against a falling off in the season's traffic consequent upon the withdrawal of many of the pleasure steamers now the fine weather draws to a close, and that they have there fore availed themselyes of the earliest possible time of doing-so, in the hope, of keeping up their xeceipts near the amount which they were in the spring. - • There are also complaints made of the mode now .practised. by Railway Companies charging a cheap fare for the whole extent of the line, but varying it in a very disproportionate manner to passengers who have to alight at intermediate ..stations. A Corres pondent writes, that in taking a pleasure trip to Headcorn by the South-Eastern Railway he paid 7s. for his passage, but, finding nothing there to interest him, he made up his mind to return . to Rei gate. To his great surprise, however, instead of the 3s. Bd. set down in the time-table as the charge for Reigate, the clerk demanded' SS. 10d., and the result ...8 , 1•1,11•MMOMMO. • lished in the seco n d e diti on o f Th e S un this e -'•-•. vening, are worthy of particular attention. They 'Completely confirm the view taken some time since of the insur rection, namely, that some more important parties were, the prime movers than the individuals who then occupied, the more prominent position. :The answer .of thel.wder, Pretorious, leads but to the conclusion that our negotiations at the Hague upon the question of. acquiring, territory in the Ea.it Indies in violation of existing treaties, must firmly and speedily Is brought to a conclusion. NEW PARISH CONSTAIit!':S' A CT, Among the Acts of the. British Legislature to Queen Victoria'' ;rave her which her .Majet4y . Royal assent in person before the prorogation of Parliament on the 'l2th of A ugnst, Was " An Act fOr the .Appointment arid Payment of Pa r i s h .Constables," (5 and fiof Vict or i a , c. 109), w hi c h will effect an important change . in the mode of appointing and remunerating parish constables. As the statute is about to come into immediate operation, and. as it affects every parish and township in England, it may not be amiss to call public attention to its leading provisions. The preamble recites, that whereas it will in crease, the security of persons and property, if further provision be. made for the appointment of fit persons to act as constables in the several parishes of England, .and if power be given to pay them for the performance of their dutie3; and it proceeds to enact that after the expiration of 80 days, and before the expiration of 100 days next after the passing of the Act, and on some day after the 24th of March, and before the 9th of April, in each following year; the Justices of the Peace of every county in England shall hold. a special petty session of the peace in their several divisions, for the appointment of paro chial constables, of which session due notice shall be given to every Justice usually acting in that division. . The 2d section requires the Justices within 30 days next after the passing of the Act, and within the.first seven days of February in each follow ing year, to issue a precept under the hands of any two of them to the overseers of each parish within the division, requiring them to make and return, within 80 days next after the passing of the Act, and before the 24th of. March in each following year, a list in writing of a competent ' number of men within their respective parishes qualified and liable to serve. By the 3d section it is enacted that the over office until dismissed by the Justices in general or quarter sessions assembled, and to receive his salary out of the county rate. S PO RTI NGT .

The collector, however, gized the reins of the horse, and held it, saying that he should not let go until , they paid the toll, upon which Millar began to dog him as well as the horse, and, but for other assistance arriving., they would have got away.—The defendants were fined 10s. each. I VIARYLEBQNE.—(THIS • - DAY.) . Patrick and Mary Shanahan were brought up be fore Mr. Raw'bison, on the following charge :-- James Selwyn, shopman to Mr. Mills, pawnbroker, Hampstead-road, stated that between twelve and one yesterday afternoon, the female prisoner came to his employers with a silver spoon to pledge. Seeing a name upon it, he asked. her how she came by it, and she answered that it was given her. While he turned round to communicate with his master she was gone, but was discovered some hours afterwards and given into custody. The male prisoner pledged a ring some weeks ago, but, 'after suspicions having arisen, he was given into custody also. William Collins, waiter at Long's Hotel, remem bers some rcpairs going on in the Hotel some time ago, and he believes the male prisoner was engaged as a labourer there. Remembers the ring being lost by a gentleman. Thinks it the same ring. The spoon is one of a set, a good number of which were lost at the same time. The female in defence stated that she got the spoon from the male prisoner, who had said he found it. The prisoner said he found the spoon in Holborn, near. St. Giles', and the ring he " picked up" in Tot tenham-court-road. The Magistrate remanded both till Monday, r further examination. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRA- __--- TION.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Young M'Christie, Esq., the Barrister ap pointed by Lord Chief Justice Denman, to revise the list of voters for the City 'of London, held his Court at eleven o'clock this morning, 'in the room of the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall. . The following is a statement of the position of the contending parties : The Livery lists have not been entered upon by the Reformers this year, in consequence of the great ex pense always incurred in effecting the service of the notices of objection. The Tories seem to have been deterred by the same, or some equally cogent reason, as they have made only 170 objections and 18 claims. In the householders' list the total number of claims is 229, of which 121 'have sought the support of the Reformers. The total number of objections is 623. of which 155 are made by the Reformers. The To ries state, their objections to amount to 518 ; which shows that there are 50 to whom both parties object. The influence of this revision must be very slight upon a register of upwards of 20,000 names ; but the Reformers may congratulate themselves upon a very large increase of registered Liberal electors as the re sult of, their efforts last year, when numerous claims were made in almost every parish throughout the City, which have this year been inserted in the lists by the overseers. Mr. Mansey appeared on behalf of the Reformers, and Mr. Marr for the Conservatives. The REVISING BARRISTER announced his intention of first proceeding with the lists of the Liverymen, and afterwards taking the lists of the parishes in their alphabetical order. The remainder of the dap was occupied in receiving the lists from the various overseers. WESTMINSTER ItEGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) James Standford Taylor claimed to be registered in respect of a workshop situated at No. 2, Maccles field-street. It appeared from the evidence of the claimant, that he was a journeyman engraver, and occupied a room at the top of the house in Macclesfield-street. There was a •bench in the room, on which he worked. He paid 101. a year rent, and had claimed to be rated. In cross-examination by Air. SCORE, the claimant stated that he would swear the room was worth 101. a year to the trade, or 6s. a week. The bench in the room was a fixture. Mr. SCORE then addressed the Court at consider able length. He contended that it was never contem plated by the Legislature to give the elective fran chise to a man occupying an attic of this kind at 101. a year, where he ate, drank, slept, and had a board upon.which he worked. If that were allowed, every journeyman mechanic who could sharpen his tools in the room where he lived would claim to enjoy the elective franchise. Then, with regard to the value, the claimant stated that the place was worth 101. a year to him, and when pressed as to the weekly value, he said it was worth 6s. a week to .the trade. Now, the Court decided last year that ss. 6d. a. week was not equal to 101. a year, and, no doubt, the deci sion of the Court was a correct one ; but how was this room worth 101. a year to the claimant ? simply, because there were fixtures in it, tenant's fixtures, which augmented the value, and this room was only worth 101. a year to the trade, because there was a bench in it on which the trade could work. Mr. TROTT, for the claimant, contended that the Legislature did intend such men as him to have a vote. The Legislature had put quite a sufficient re straint upon men'of this class, because they said that the premises must be worth 10/. a year ;and it surely was not for that Court to go beyond what the Legislature intended. Now, with regard to the situation of the premises, did the Legislature mean that a roojn of any value, however great, be cause it was situated in a particular part of the house, was not to confer the franchise ? That cer tainly never could have been the meaning of the Act, and lie apprehended that Mr. Score would not have raised the question as to the description of the pre mises, had they paid a rental of 401. or 50/. a year. He maintained that this room was a " shop," such as was meant by the Act of Parliament ; and if it were not a shop, at any rate it was a " building." Mr. Score briefly replied . ; and the Learned Bar rister said, in so important a case, he must take time to consider his judgment. MARYLEBONE REGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) The revision of the registration of electors for the borough of Marylebone was commenced this morn ing at ten o'clock, in the Court-house, Marylebone lane, Oxford-street, by Mr. Alfred Austin, the newly appointed Revising Barrister.' The gross number of objections, Liberal and Tory, is 1,429; and as the total of new claims amounts to 184, it is supposed that the examination of the lists will occupy some weeks; the agents of the two poli tical parties in the borough—Mr. Greenwood for the Conservatives, and Messrs. Ivimey and Allen for the Liberals—seem to have agreed upon a course which will tend to save time and annoyance to all burgesSes, who have either to claim their suffrages or rebut ob jections ; those gentlemen (the agents on both sides) having agreed to raise no trivial or captious questions upon technical points, and mutually to admit the no. , tices and other documents put in. Mr. Austin takes at this Court the cases arising in the parish of Marylebone, in the five districts' of which the lists of claims and objections stand as fol lows ;—Claims, Reformers, 25 ; Tories, 38; others, B—Total, 71. Objections, Reformers, 246 ; Tories, 361 ; others, 321—Total, 928. • The cases which were decided this morning were for the most part unimportant. A case where the col lector refused to receive the amount of taxes due, be cause part of the money tendered was in light sove reigns, although the deficiency was offered in other coin, thei Barrister put the claimant 'on the list, ob serving that, notwithstanding the Queen's proclatna tion on the subject of the light coin, her tax-collector could not - refuse her coin as a legal tender. IRON VEssir.S.---There are now in the iron ship building-yard of Mr. John Laird, of. North Birkenhimd. two vessels of rather singular construction. The first vessel is intended for a floating-light for: the entrance of the Mersey. It is much longer than the present light ships, and is expected to have less motion, even in a rough sea, than the short wood vessels now in use. It will be ready for sea in about two months. The second vessel is building for the Honourable the East India Company. It is intended for a pilot-boat 'in th e Hoogley. like our pilot.boats, which are small, it is of two hundred tons burthen, and of more than ordinary breadth of beam. Its interior is to be completely finished in Liverpool. In the hold Will be large tanks for holding water, with which, it appears, the pilot-boats 'on the' Calcutta. station always go to sea, that, in the event of falling in With ships short of water, they may supply them with so in- . dispensable an article. The cabin will be a spacious apartment, lofty and well-ventilated, with berths all round for the pilots. We need scarcely add, after the heading of this paragraph , that, except the decks and the cabins, these vessels are wholly built of iron. They are well worth the inspection of all who take an interest in naval architecture.--- , Liverpoo/ Albion. . The Marquis of Breadalbane has forwarded one. capercailzie, one blackcock, three red grouse, and three hares,•shot by Prince Albert, on the 9th instant, on the braes of Taymouth, to. Mr. Carfrae, of Edinburgh, to be stuffed. The capercailzie. is a remarkably tine specimen of that rare bird. • AWFULLY SUDDEN. DEATIL—David Lewis, a la. bourer on the Dowlais wharf, Cardiff, was employed as usual on Monday last, weighing iron, when he was, suddenly seized, as by a- fit, and instantly fell. Some. of his felloW-workmen immediately ran to his as sistance, but were horror-struck to find the poor fellow a corpse. He was a married man, aged from 50 to 60 years, and has left a widow and several children.— Cambrian. SUICIDE OF A YOUTH.--On Sunday last a ,youth, of the name of Richards, terminated his existence by hanging himself. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, and from the evidence then given, it appeared that his mother, who is a widow, was extremely destitute in cireurostan ces , which had so much preyed on his mind that it produced temporary insanity, in which he de stroyed himself, and a verdict was returned to that effect—Staffordshire Examiner.

There was a fair business done in this market with little change in prices.. B. P. Sugar was not lower. For Mauritius and Bengal firmer prices were sus tained. In the Coffee Market there was little busi ness done ; Ceylon still declining 675. for good ordi nary ; Cocoa neglected ; Rice was not quite so brisk ; Saltpetre much the same as previously ; in Cotton holders kept up the prices. WHITECHAPEL. The Market was abundantly supplied with Hay and Clover, and the demand good. For fine and middling qualities of Straw the supply continues very limited, at an advance of ls..per load. Clover, 2/. 12s. to 51. 10s.; Hay, 2/. 10s.; Straw, 1/. 13s. to 1/. 17s. TEA MARKET. The sales of Tea opened with fine spirit. The bidding continued animated throughout the day, and a large proportion was sold at very full prices. TALLOW MARKET. The demand for this article was again heavy; and 48s. to 48s. 3d. was the quotation• on: the spot for P. Y. Candle, and 475,.9d. for fOrward'delivery, , PROVISION MARKET. Fine Trish Butter continued in good request at 90s. to 925., and Foreign Butter was also sought after. BaQon was dull, but prices were steady. AN HONEST MAN.—Some dayS since a gr?up containing portraits of Fleury and Desplaces was ab stracted from the case . containing specimens of .M. Claudet's Daguerreotype at the Adelaide. Gallery. M. Claudet having previously missed a portrait of one of her Majesty's horses, by advertisetnent offered a reward of ten guineas for the detection of the appropriator. On Saturday a parcel, containing the missing portraits of the " dancers " was delivered to M. Claudet, accom panied by a letter signed "A. 8.," in which the writer stated that he had purchased the plate from a man in Holborn, and that " as he was anxious not to. have stolen property found in his possession, he had returned it." Of the latter fact there can be . ne doubt in the world. SICKNESS AMONG THE MARINES AT WOOLWICik.— Titere' have been numerous cases . of dysentery among the Marines who are stationed at Woolwich. There are now about sixty'in the Military Hospital, of 'whom dur ing the last few days two have died. The attacks are severe. It is supposed by the surgeons that the com plaint, which is chiefly among those who have come from Syria, has been lingering in them from the time of leaving that country. LElTH.—Great quantities of grain, chiefly wheat and barley; are still coming in from foreign ports, as well as British. The Prinz Albert, from Weimar, ar rived on Tuesday with 1,230 quarters of wheat. Same day the Pitho, from Stettin, with 1.326 ditto ditto. The grain brinight coastwise is principally from Kirkaldy, Dundee, Dunbar, &c. Within the last three days Up ward's of 2,000 barrels of herrings have arrived from the various fishing stations ; these are rapidly . being shipped for foreign markets, twelve vessels beim: already nearly loaded with coals, herrings, and other British prodUce, y ai n i e t s l h : rt v E il Ai l ti, s oi a: a l vi . .ab s : A u el t ois t r h ge. e 7 end of the week at the rise of the stream.—Caledoniaft .

SAILS.— OiI which co Saturday nvuy e d he o r ur M g a r j a e c s i t , y u ' s s Queen to her ancient kingdom of Scotland, put into North Shields, on her return from Leith loads, in Con sequence of adverse winds, while the 'Trident steamer, with her Majesty on board, on the morning of the same day was moored off Woolwich. Mr. W. H. Bodkin, the Old Bailey barrister, and now the 'fury M.P. for Rochester, was originally a fur niture broker in the parish, and made his first essay as a public speaker in • St. James's Church, ClerkenWell. [The Editor of the Warwick Advertiser can vouch for the truth of the statement as to Mr. Bodkin, who was also an auctioneer, in partnership with h's fath er , M r. Peter Bodkin ; their shop and auction-room being near the turnpike-gate, on Islington Green. The Editor very distinctly remembers telling the clever young auctioneer (whose evident talents attracted his particular attention) on his descending from his rostrum ; with the hammer in his hand, that he ought to be at the bar, holding a britf, rather than the auction-hammer, and that he was wast ing the intellect with which nature had endowed him for higher purposes. Ile more than once pressed this upon him—little thinking he would become the future eminent barrister, the Learned Recorder of Dover, and Member for Rochester Warwick Advertiser. I venture to say (said Colonel Salwey in address ing his constituents and friends, assembled) that the feeling which has induced you to reward my services so far beyond my merits,. is -highly honourable to yourselves, because it proves that a fearless and steady adherence to principle is more valued in your estimation than abilities or talents of the most splen did order. I endeavoured during my career in Par liament to follow out those . principles which induced you to honour me with your confidence, and to elect me as your- representative -in - 18s7. I trust I have not betrayed that - confidence.' When I see wealthy candidates running from one constituency to 'another, invading freedom of election, polluting the fingers of voters N% ith bribes, and wasting thousands upon thou sands in corrupting and demoralizing the people, I confess it does appear to me that such men can have but one object in view—that of making Parliament a stepping-stone to their own aggrandizement, and seeking their own elevation in life. The glorious result of the election of 1837 is still fresh in the memory of every one here present, in spiring the reformers of Ludlow, and every-friend -to civil and religious liberty, with enthusiastic hopes for the future. On the removal of my then Noble Col league to the House of Lords in 1839, the field was again open for another contest, and I shall ever con-; sider that the course pursued at that -election - struck a most heavy and disastrons blow at the Liberal interests of this borough.--(Cheers.) A system of unparalleled bribery was then introduced by the one side, and I regret to add, at length adopted by the other, - and this evidence of gross political prostitution being laid before Parliament, a void election was the natural and inevitable result. The stormy debates and frequent divisips which en sued in Parliament against issuing the' writ will not be readily erased from the memory of those more immediately interested. Should any stranger be de-- sirous of informing himself of the baneful influence and demoralising tendency of such a system of elec tion, let him open the pages of the Blue Book. of Evidence taken before the Ludlow Committed, - and I would especially draw his attention to the Dinham House scenes, as strongly emblematical of Tory mctieS. - Ludlow had :now obtained an unenviable notoriety. The contest of 1840 was, however, looked forward to as one which would redeem the character of the borough. The Reformers unanimously re solved to mark their abhorrence of the late disrepu table proceedings, and try the issue of public prin ciple against corruption. The dissolution of Parlia ment took place, and never, at any general election -were you called upon to move in a cause so peculiarly affecting the interests o f t h e peop l e . You again determined- not to swerve from the paths of purity and honour ; but the basest and most open corruption defeated all our efforts,- and Ludlow now sends to Parliament two monopolists —followers of the most unprincipled band of apostates that ever seized the reins of this or any other Government. And yet this was Commemorated as a great and triumphant victory ! A triumph over what ? A triumph of political profligacy over political truth—of fraud and hypocrisy over honour and independence! But nobly and honourably did the gallant band of Ludlow Liberals perform their duty — out-number ed y o et f found 156, w includ ingho, troe y t man e a n rn y o n o f o p t o h l e i s thumblest w e 'e l r ass e 'to the best interests of their country—undeterred by • the threats of the - clergy and the apers of aristocracy, and scorning the temptations of Tory gold—resolutely stood firm in the cause of political the wide- s p virtue and the people's rights. It of t is h impossibleload w to speculate on the fearful effects Already is the country writhing under. the.hateful corruption which prevailed at the last election.

THE COTTON MARKE T : Tfu E CaoP.—This market has not, during the week, show n any signs of recovering from the state of depression into which it was thrown, a month • ago, by the distu r b ances in the manu f actur i ng districts. Indeed, until trunouilfitv shall have been restored in those districts and work resumed, no material improvement can reasonably be expected. The accounts by the Britannia cotton being likely.to be extremely large This is not improbable, from the state of the weather up to the before the actual result of the harvest L ow ever, that some can be correctly ascertained. A frost for only twenty latest dates ; it must be remembered, four hours would materially change the a spect of things, and reduce a superabundant to an aver age c rop. Still, in the present state of inanuf'actUres and the limited demand which now exists for goods, there is too much reason to suppose, that even an average crop Would, with the stock on hand; afford a sufficient, supply fur the next tlielve Months. 7 —Liverpool rtlid,m EXTRAORDINARY BROOOLI.-----There is now to be seen in the garden of a cottage in Aberdylais, a plant of this kind, which has attained the surprising height of six feet, six inches.

" I believe one reason," observes Sir Walter Scott, "why such numerous instances of erudition occur among the lower ranks is, that, with the same powers of mind, th e p oor s tudent is limited to a narrower circle for indulging his passion for books, and must necessarily make himself master of th e f ew he pos sesses, before he can acquire more., ' The library of the late M.

Had he acquiesced, he would,- with the 3s. 4d. for the fare from Reigate to London, have paid 9s. 2d, for his conveyance, whereas the public, by the representations of the Company, are madeto believe that the charge is but 7s. These appear to be some of the old tricks of coach proprietors, who were, in their monopoly, noto rious for this manceuvre of . " long and short fares," but in their day it was scarcely tolerated, and we think will hardly be so now on the part of corporate bodies. Shareholders in general should pay much attention, and see that such questions is, these are properly investigated and settled, for if they are car ried on to any great extent, they may prove of incal culable mischief to the traffic of any line on . which artifices of the sort are practised. POST.—The funds were depressed in a trifling de gree this morning. Th e y, indeed, closed rather hea vily, in consequence of some rumours that were in circulation respecting a Duich loan . operation. It ap pears that sales of Dutch stock were made towards the end of the past week in the Amsterdam market, under the impression that the Government of Hol land was desirous of negotiating another small loan, against the credit voted by • the States-General, the sum named being 6,000,000 guilders, or half a mil lion sterling. Whether or not such is really the ob ject of the Dutch Executive seems uncertain, bqt it is felt here, assuming the fact to be as Stated, that none of the stock will find its way to the Eng lish market, and that the whole will be 'eh sorhed at home. According to some accounts, the Government of the Hague was about to obtain an other instalment of the money due to it from the Belgian Government under the - late arrangement,' in virtue of which Belgium was made chargeable with a portion of the general debt, as it stood anterior to the separation of the two countries. It was asserted that a great capitalist in.-this city was to make the Belgian Government a further advance of money for current purposes, and that the amount contemplated was to be extended to the sum required to cover the instal ment alluded to as payable to the Government of Holland. The Dutch houses. in town do not appear 'to have any information on these matters upon which the public can place reliance, but if there be any new financial movement in progress in either of the said kingdoms, it is likely that well authenticated particu lars concerning it will be received in the course of a post or two. It seems that there was at Amsterdam some disposition to take in stock so long as the belief existed that a further payment was to be looked for at the hands of the Belgian Government, but that speculation was damped by the less agreeable rumour which succeeded, and the idea to which it gave rise of the wants of the Dutch Exchequer being once more about to be supplied out of Dutch pockets. CHRONICLE.—The Ministerial organs, under their City head, express great surprise this morning that there should have been no fttrther rise in the National Securities, consequent upon the receipt of • what they term news of considerable importance, connected with the position of our foreign relations. The Funds cannot be always rising, and Consols are already at 93, which is a very high figure indeed. It is impossible that the price of Stocks can al ways be on the advance. The speculators bought Stock in ex pectation that the funds would improve on the ratifi cation of the Boundary Treaty, and when the event " came off" we suppose they sold. The same sort of thing is exhibited in the Foreign -Stock Market as in the English. After a deal of ob jectionable mystery and uncertainty the advertising of the October dividends has also "come- off" in Mexican Bonds, but that particular stock, instead of rising, has fallen, which is somewhat strange, for there has been no inducement to make parties sell, on the notice of the payment of the dividends, to realize a profit. We have felt called upon several times of late to notice a want of openness and fair dealing in regard to Mexican affairs. Everything connected with them is made a secret of, and kept in the hands of a few. In regard to the dollars received froni time to time for the dividendS,'noOfficial account is puldished. The sums received are communicated by third parties, and nothing official is made knoNirn to the bondholders regarding the amount at their disposal. We are quite aware of the inquiry at the Custom house, referred to by • Mr. James Bamford, but whether our Correspondent be correct in his state ment that the frauds have been committed by im porters of foreign-manufactured goods through the gross misconduct of certain officers of the establish ment, we do not find that we have sufficient infor mation to enable us to give a decisive opinion. Neither' shall we at once at acquiesce in his statement th it the officers in question have been habitually receiving bribes, although we believe several officers have been suspended pending the investigation. At the same time We fully concur-with our Correspondent in the importance of exposing, as far as possible, the parties who have been illegally and dishonestly engaged in these nefarious practices, although we must reserve our further judgment until the result of the inquiry be made known. It is very likely that there may be an attempt to hush up the affair altogether. But we do not believe that this will be an easy job. When Parliament meets the whole will be fully expiscated, should the Government exhibit the smallest intention to withhold full information from the knowledge of the public. It is certainly a suspicious circumstance that the Government prints, who were at first so actively alive to the importance of the investigation at the first noise of it, should have become so sud denly silent. on the subject. It will he impossible, however, to screen the parties really guilty from ex posure, although every possible attempt may be made to do so. _ SUN.—Some sales ofMoney Stock caused the price of Consols for immediate transfer to decline a shade below that of Saturday, while for time it remained the same. The closing rates were 92i for Money, and 93 93 1 1,- for the Account. India Stock, 249 251; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53; New, 49 51 prem. In Foreign Securities but little was done. Prices were—Belgian, 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., 52 1 4 524; the Five per Cents., 104 1021 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 67i 68i. Some specu lative bargains were made in Mexican by the boar party nominally, but the quotations at which business could be really effected were 354 354. The Share Market was rather firmer, with the ex ception of South Eastern. The fact of this Company being under the necessity of raising money has had an unfavourable effect upon the prices of the Shiites. London and Birmingham were 181 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 42 44 ; Great Western, 82 83 ; the Half Shares, 59i 60; South Western, 57i 58 ; North Midland, 56 .58 ; the New Shares, 27 28 ; South Eastern and Dover, 214 221- ; Eastern counties, 8i Bit ; Northern and Eastern, 36 37 ; Blackwall, 61 7 ; and Brighton, 33 33k. It was agreed, at the late meeting of the Blackwall Railway Company, that the increased fares should take effect from the first of the ensuing month. In contravention of this arrangement, however, the new rates have already been levied. The affair altogether has caused much ill-feeling among mercantile men, as 'well as among other parties more immediately in terested in the several localities on the line. Raising the fares is generally viewed as a breach of faith, it having been distinctly stated that greater facilities were given with reduced fares, and upon the faith of these promises much of the opposition to bringing the terminus into the City was abandoned, in order that these objects Might be accomplished. The quotations for the Bonds were, nominally Colombian, 203 0 01; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five 'per Cents., 351 36; the Three per Cents., 21 211 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 16/ 16t ; the Three per Cents., 21k 21+. The dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope, pub seers of every parish, upon the receipt of such precept, shall summon a meeting of the inhabit ants in vestry, to be held within 14 days after the receipt of said precept; and the .vestry at such meeting are to make out a list in writing of such number as shall be stated in the precept of men residing within their parish who shall be qualified and liable to serve as constables, with. the Christian name and surname, and with the true place of abode, the title, quality, calling or business, of each written at full length; and the vestry are empowered to annex to the said return the names of any number of men willing to serve the office of constable, and whom the vestry will recommend to be appointed, although not having the qualification hereinafter mentioned. • Section 5 enacts, that every able-bodied •man resident within the parish, between the ages of 25 and 55 years, rated to the relief of the poor or to the county-rate on any tenement of the netyearly value of 41. or upwards, • except such persons as shall be exempt or disqualified, as hereinafter mentioned, shall be qualified and liable to serve as constable of that parish. Section 7 enacts, that., all licensed victuallers, and persons licensed to deal in exciseable liquors, or to sell beer by retail, all game-keepers, and all persons who have been attuinted of any treason or felony, or convicted of any infamous .crime, shall be disqualified from serving the office of constable under this Act. Section 8 enacts, that the overseers shall make out true copies of the list so agreed to in vestry; and wlwre any of the persons named in the said list shall have been chosen to serve, and shall have served, the office of constable •in the said parish, in person or by substitute, the overseers shall set against his name in the list the date of the year of such service, and shalt on the three Sundays next before the day limited fur making their return in this year, and on the first three Sundays in the nymth of March in each follow ing year, fix a true copy of such list upon the principal door of every church, chapel, and other public place of religious worship within their parish, having first subjoined to . every such copy a notice stating that all objections to the list will be heard by the Justices at a time and • place to be mentioned in such notice, and shall keep a copy of the list, to be inspected by any inhabitant, at any reasonable time, during the three weeks next before the day limited for making their re turn in this year, and during the first three weeks of the month of March in each following year, without any fee or reward. . Section 9 empowers two Justices to fine the overseers not more than 51. fur any neglect or omission of any of the duties herein required. Section 10 requires the overseers to attend be fore the Justices with their lists ; and it empowers the Justices to amend the lists in their discretion, j and to allow the same. Section 11 enacts, that the J ustices shall choose from the lists allowed the names of such number as they shall think necessary to act as constable within the parish during the year then next follow ing, and until other constables shall be chosen and sworn to act in their stead; but any person who shall have been chosen and served, in person or by substitute, shall not be liable to be again chosen until every other person in the parish, liable or qualified to serve, shall have served the office either in person or by substitute. Section 12 prescribes the form of oath to be taken by constables so chosen, and enacts that if persons so chosen shall be unwilling to serve, they shall find a substitute to be approved by the Justices. By section 13 the penalty on any person who shall refuse to act as constable, or to find a sub stitute, shall not exceed 10/. ; and every person who after being sworn shall refuse or wilfully neglect to act in the execution of his office shall be liable to pay not exceeding 5/. for every offence. Section 14 provides for • the publication of the names of the constables appointed; and section 15 defines the powers of the constables so ap pointed.

A less in teresting day's sport I never remember but once at Doncaster, and that was last year, When, to make a race for the Cup, the owner of the Shadow received so much to follow eould mara Beeswing round the course. Your reporter has told you a great deal about Mr. Orde s wonder ful mare, to which account I can only add that she has now won twenty-five gold cups. What can her veteran owner do with so many ? While this mark is in training, it seems we shall• have no race for the Doncaster Cup. Surely a few, but not all, of the Goodwood Cup conditions would be as well in force here. Charles XII. is a delicate constitutioned horse: he looked no more like the Charles we backed at Goodwood than Attila looked. like the winner of the Derby. No three year old ever cut such a wretc:med figure for this cup as Attila he was beat in the first quarter of a mile, and might safely have carried a. feather. Some eleven (half ofthein winners) started for the two. year old race wort so easily by Attila last year. Previous to the Newcastle meeting I remember writing that the British Yeoman would win all his en gagements there : it is pretty clear, I think, that lie ought to have won them all. With due re ference to the public, who take ten to one about this horse for the Derby so freely, I think the St. Leger course will suit him better thiur the up and down hill course lit Epsom. As for the run ning of the second (Maria Day), the devil him self could not account for it. I. shall notattempt to compete with sr') dread a personage. There was some betting on the Derby in 'the evening. One gentleman was lively enough tooffer to take ten thousand to one thousand about 7 the f'avourite, but wide awake enough to couple his offer with the condition of " money to be posted." The bargain %vas not concluded. FRlDAV.—Although many gentlemen departed this morning, the ring was crowded; and the bet ting much heavier titan is usual on a last day, when it is necessary to settle (if you settle at all) after each event. In reality this was the best day's sport of the week; there were four.as good races as ever were seen. Master Thomas, after being backed to win thousands for the St: Leger, is defeated cleverly by brother to Garland, a horse not thought good enough to be started . for that event ; there have been some strange mis takes in Scott's stable lately. The Nvinuer of the St. Leger was amiss for the twentieth time in her life. Lord Eglinton is proverbially lucky, or would never have won the St. Leger with such a mare—a mare that was entered in all the largest stakes in the kingdom, without ever being able to start before Sally, the mare that beat her ; was in the Newcastle St. Leger, Lut did not for some reason come out there. Value of the Park Hill Stakes 750/. A very pretty race ensued for the Innkeepers' Plate, and the meeting is concluded. There were about two hundred more subscribers to the rooms than in 1841. The Yorkshire Handicap is in future to be run on the Wednes day, and the Earl of Eglinton is appoi n t e d _Steward fir next year; a more popular nobleman could hardly be selected, Sept. 19. JIJDEX. SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday, as, the ' younger son of Sir Henry Hardinge was landing from a steane boat at Westminster, his leg was caught by the cable, and he fell. On his being removed to his residence ut Whitehall, he was attended by several surgeons, Mr. M•Cann, Mr. White, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Hughes. On their examining the injury it was • found that immediate amputation was necessary. The young gentleman bore the Operation with the greatest possible fortitude, Conversing with the surgeons as to the progress they were making with this • painful duty, and the probable length of time he would be confined. We are happy to stute he is going on as weThas could possibly be expected on such an occasion. • ' FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE Husinert..—On Sature day evening, the 10th instant, between eight and nine o'clock, the .steam-ship Tiger, for Humburgh, was pro ceeding down the Humber, Captain Knocker himself being on the paddle-box, and men as mufti at the bow on the 100k -out, when they suddenly came upon. a ballast lighter, the Venture, of this port, J. Clark, master, laden with sand for Barton. From the dusk of evening, in creased by the smoke and steam descending. from the chimney, which, as the steamer w as p rocee di ug on ly at a moderate rate, hovered upon her decks and in the air before her, the wind being upon her stern, 'the lighter was not seen in time to avoid a collision.. The steamer struck her, and she began to till. Two men were upon her deck, to whom ropes were thrown, and which fell across the lighter near to the men. It is possible, how ever,. that they did not think their danger so great as it proved, and perhaps thought of saving themselves in their own boat, and it is extremely likely they were 111 the boat, bet had not time to cut the painter before t h e lighter sank, which she did immediately, drawing the boat down with it, which, with the men, instantly idisap peared.
