SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Journal des Deb.as of Wednesday notices with -becoming spirit an extremely rude attack upon France, which appeared a few days ago in the Augs burgh Gazette, couched i❑ the following terms : :With regard to French intervention in Spain, if it were not kn-,wa that such an intervention would have the same character as all that has b_Tn done in France for the last six years, there !right be cause for uneasiness ; but, it may be asserted that whatever is above the juggling sci- zure of Ancona (rescadvitage d'Ancone) is without the ciree of French policy. Against Arabs and undisc.i plined Bedouins petty victories may be obtained by the help of great nrlitary means, but the enthusiastic troops of Charles V. would repel victoriously any attack from France." It is justly observed by our Contemporary that these insolent remarks derive importance from the fact of their being found in the columns of a Journal revised by a state censor, and by him, aml, of course, by his royal and imperial masters, therefore authorised to be circu lated throughout Europe. Had they been printed in a Journal published in any country where the press is free, the Government of that country would, of course, be in no manner responsible for them. But the iluffsburgh Gazette is conducted immediately under the con trol of the Bavarian Government ; it is the accredited organ of the Northern Powers. The letter from which the quotation just given is extracted is dated " Ber lin, 22 March ;" and consequently no substantial dif ference exists between language used in a letter so dated and published, and the phraseology of an official despatch addressed by M. Ancillon to the Prussian Minister at Paris. Had such an authorised attack been made upon a French journal, which had spoken disrespectfully of the Court of Berlin, or upon a Mem ber of the Chamber of Deputies, who had inveighed from the Tribune against the political conduct of the Prussian Government, the Journal or the Deputy would have no just right to complain. But neither of these cases occurs in the present instance. Here is an official sneer against the whole French nation, as well as against the King whom they have called to the Throne. The occupation of Ancona is stated to have been effected by act of escamotage. The valour displayed Eri the French trco)s, with the Duke of Orleans at their head, in the Algerine territory, is treated with ridicule, and a compari son is drawn between the bravery of the army of observation and that of the insurgents of Navarre and Biscay, which results in a most offensive conclusion that " the enthusiastic troops of Charles V. would victoriously repel any attack from France." There can be no question about it—the French Government is not merely entitled, but bound, if it have any regard to the honour of France, to demand and obtain the disa vowal, at least by the Bavarian Government, of these insulting expressions. If the letter can be traced to any of the State Offices at Berlin, a similar disavowal must be insisted upon from that Court, otherwise the Moniteur will be obliged to repel the calumnies in language as offensive to Prussia and Bavaria as that in which the French people are here assailed—and that, too, upon the very point of their national character, of which they are, and have most reason to be proud. This is a matter, however, which peculiarly appertains to the Cabinet of the Tuileries, and we have no right to go farther into it than our sympathies—as an ally of that Government—would properly justify. But there is one phrase in this passage which calls for serious attention from all the Powers who are parties to the Quadruple Treaty. The Pre tender is no longer described in the Augsburg Gazette by the equivocal name of Don Carlos, which has hitherto been generally given to him in that journal. He is openly honoured with the title of " Charles V." of Spain ; his claims to the sovereignty of that coun try are thus clearly recognised ; and the next step on the part of the Northern Sovereigns will naturally be, to accredit Ministers to the " King," to congratulate him upon his victories over the illegitimate Queen, and on his accession to the throne of his ancestors. This proceeding may not, improbably, be followed by sup plies of money, arms, and munitions of war, and per haps also by a solemn public declaration in favour of the nominal leader of the Navarrese rebels. If these measures be adopted—and this public recognition of his assumed title warrants us in assuming that they will be, especially should Don Carlos, by the fortune of war, obtain possession of Vittoria—it is obvious that the contest in the Peninsula would then be cloathed with a new character, pregnant with mat ter of the greatest importance for the conside ration of the Quadruple Alliance. All the de licacies about intervention must then at once give way to questions of national honour ; the succession to the Spanish Throne must be settled by the united arms of the Four Powers ; the assurances that the French troops would fly before those of " the King," would be put to the proof, and very possibly the valour of France might be called upon to defend her northern frontier from another invasion. The pro blem which the Duke of Wellington's evidence sug gests, whether a Prussian army, unassisted by an English one, could march to Paris, would, if we do not greatly overrate the gallantry of the young armies of France, be, under such circumstances, speedily placed in a train of solution not very agreeable to the censors of the Augsburg Gazette.—Morning Chronicle. One portion of the evidence taken before the Agri cultural Committee has been printed and distributed. The perusal of it will not make any one much wiser with respect to agricultural distress than he was before. Several gratifying facts, however, are stated by all the witnesses. The agricultural labourers never were so w ell off as they now are ; and both their moral and physical condition has been greatly improved by the new Poor Law. Farmers are like travellers in a fo 'est, they see only what is immediately around them ; and as they arc altogether strangers to abstraction, and view things always in the concrete—(as for in stance, because they pay rent, they suppose it a necessary item of expenditure, instead of being what can be afforded after expenditure)—they are alto gether sadly bewildered. It is ,quite clear that, with an increasing population, demanding an increased sup ply of food, that increased supply would not be pro duced without the cultivator were remunerated ; but then it does not follow that every cultivator is remune rated, any more than that every shop-keeper or artisan is remunerated. One description of land may be bet ter adapted fur pasture than for tillage ; and if land lie tilled that ought to be in pasture, there way, no doubt be a loss ; but in one way or other, land will always be of some value. To cultivate with a loss, therefore, merely means that a farmer does not occupy his land in the most suitable manner. Mr. John Brickwell, at Leckhampstead, Bucks, for instance, oc cupies 700 acres of land, of which 150 are under the plough ; and he gives in an account of the profit and loss of cultivating. an acre on the four-course system, including the rent and tithe. On the two years' wheat he loses 2/. 2r. ; on the year's beans he gains 11. ss. 10.1. ; on the year's barley he gains Is. ; on the year's oats he gains 9d. When asked, " Speaking of the present time, is it your opinion that the rent of the arable soil depends upon the profit to be made by the grass ? he answers, " I think the occupy ing of grass land is an assistance if a man rents the other ; when you occupy the arable without the grass there is a deficiency ; if they were separate, per haps neither would do so well." How absurd, then, to judge of the farmer's condition by the expense on a single acre, or the loss or profit on any particular crop, without reference to the whole farm? If the arable be necessary to the pasture, and the pasture to the arable, they must be taken altogether. The fol lowing qu,:stions and answers farther illustrate this:— " Then the loss you describe, with some detail, extends only to the 150 ?—I have represented the expense of growing an acre of wheat ; I do not mean to say I am subject to that loss upon the whole of my farm ; but for this, if I did not cultivate a c onsiderable portion of grass land I could not pay the rent at all. "Do you conceive the agricultural produce of the rest bear; a fair profit ? No, not a fair profit, but it enables me to pay a fair rent, or I must have quitted the farm before now ; but I occupy a larger portion of grass lam] than other farmers." The public have nothing to do with these details, or with the arrangements between landlord and tenant. The grass and the corn lands must bear a due propor tion to each other, because the rise or price of animal food would soon add to the pastur e land, as a high price of corn would add to the tillage. Whether or not farmers know their own business, is another affair. That most of them do know it, is proved by the high state of cultivation throughout the country.—Morning Chronicle. Last session a B;11 was brought into Parliament by Mr. Bannerman, of Aberdeen, which, under pretext of miting and reulating the University institutions of ihat city, was in reality a measure' for detaching these institutions from the Scotch established Church, and for throwing them ultimately into the hands of your no thingarians, or advocates of the voluntary principle, comprising, among other insidious proposals the virtual suppression of King's College ; the consequent over crowding of the remaining classes in a degree highly injurious to their efficiency : the repeal of the existing obligation, whereby Professors, previous to their induc tion, are bound to sign the articles, and declare their adherence to the worship of the northern Church esta blishment ; and, filially, the appointment of a new rectorial court, whose members, though invested with the power of controuling professors in their mode of teaching, fixing the price of tuition, adjusting all in ternal regulations, and disposing of college-exhibitions to the amount of 3,0001. per annum, were neither required to possess any mini/mon of literary compe tency, nor to be responsible to a superior tribunal of any kind, nor to be attached to any religious deno mination whatsoever ; this very liberal Bill of Mr. Bannerman's, instead of having received favour in the eyes of the shrewd Aberdonians, wasresisted by them with such indomitable spirit, and exposed with such masterly power, that after biting his nails and scratch ing his head in no small perplexity, the honourable ultra was at length compelled to withdraw it. But the important surrender to the movement party which that measure involved was not to be so quietly got rid of. As tributary to the systematic warfare now waged against every British institution calculated to maintain sound religion and temperate liberty, this Aberdeen affair was shortly afterwards taken up by Government ; and accordingly one of the first things we heard of during the recess was, that his Majesty's Lord Advocate having a little leisure to spare from his favourite Sunday evening recreations at backgam mon, had set out upon a missionary tour for the fur therance of religion and learning in the various Uni versities of Scotland. A fitter person for dealing with such subjects could not possibly have been selected : that is clear. His Lordship's acknow ledged weight in the country (somewhere, we ima gine, about eighteen stone odd) ; his large philosophi cal views as an eminent Parliamentary expounder, and defender of national improvements ; his consistent piety as a Presbyterian elder, procuring annually an attestation from Lochmaben, that he duly performs family worship, and regularly attends divine ordinances; his eminent scholarship and exact acquaintance with the most approved plans of modern education ; his en lightened and punctilious homage to public morals ; above all, his total exemption from ecclesiastical par tialities as exemplified in his selection of :professional men for the Scotch Church commission, whereof the majority were the Church's avowed foes :—these things, we submit, plainly point out the present Lord-Advo cate as the individual of all others pre-eminently qua lified to remodel the Universities of Scotland, and to divorce them from that alliance with religion which such novices as Knox, Buchanan, and Melville con ceived to be their highest glory. Laboriously di ligent as we know his Lordship to be, albeit, like, alas, some better men, getting somewhat obese of late, he set about this consistorial experiment for the separation of religion and learning with his wonted alacrity. Journies were made to university scats, inquiries were instituted, interviews held, circu lars despatched, schedules filled up, and we know not what all. Then followed two or three months of in termediate gestation : and the result is, that his Lord ship undertook to bring forth in the House of Com mons, a bill or bills for the better regulation of the Scottish universities. What the precise novelties are which this distinguished senator means to astonish the country with, or what alleged abuses he may have de tected to furnish scope for his expository and remedial powers, he has had the discretion to keep a profound secret. But as Dissenters have free access to all the northern colleges, without let or hindrance ; as no test or subscription is interposed therein, except for princi pals and professors ; as their charte,s require-these learned persons to belong to the established Church, a requirement which in practice is often judiciously re laxed in favour of such as sign the confession of faith, arid declare their determination to uphold the Presby terian establishment ; as the college bursaries or exhi bitions to poor scholars have heretofore been awarded, by comparative trial, only to the most deserving candi dates, wholly irrespective of political influence ; and as the University senates have hitherto been quietly ele vating the educational and moral character of their country, without rendering the leant service to the Whig party or to any political party whatever; the presumption is, that this state of things, either wholly or partially, is now to be put an end to, or, in other words, that we shall have a sort of Bannerman redivivus bill ; that rectorial courts of Whig-• Radicals shall henceforth have an ar bitrary and irresponsible rule ; that the exhibitions shall in future be made serviceable for purposes of po litical partizanship, just as the chairs have been at St., Andrew's ; and that the professorships, withdrawn from connexion with the Established Church, and thrown open to the principles of voluntaryism, or any other ism you please, shall in time to come be made subservient to the inculcation of those liberal opinions among youth which will best accelerate the march of movement, without prejudice to a game at backgam mon of a Sunday evening. Be this as it may, the confidence which enlightened Scotehmen feel in the Lord Advocate is such, that the very prospect of his meddling with their academical institutions, has given rise to a very able and spirited little work, entitled " The Aberdeen University Magazine;" the answer ing of one of whose articles, published in January last, on '' University Reform," must doubtless furnish his Lordship with a singularly agreeable pastime. With a power of analysis and generalization very rarely surpassed, with a thorough knowledge of all the modern theories of instruction and their esta blished practical results, with a candid estimate of the various systems propounded by such educational opti mists as Bourignon, Rousseau, Fellenberg, Godwin, Owen, and the founders of the London University, the writer of the article we allude to has constructed a moral demonstration on the social, political, and spi ritual evils of throwing our colleges loose from the superintendence and restraints of religion; which no thing but an incurable passion for Sunday backgam mon can by any possibility resist. The only fault we find with it is, that its materials are so compactly and connectedly put together, as to render quotation almost impracticable without doing injustice to its integrity. But as we shall very likely have occasion to recur to this subject after hearing the details of the Lord Ad vocate's bills, we may then perhaps present a short abstract of its principal reasonings and results. After all, we perhaps shall never have an opportunity of seeing the bill, or of hearing a speech detailing the projected regulations ; for the notice which stood on the House of Commons' paper on Wednesday morning has disappeared, and left not a trace behind.—Times. `We are glad to find that the subject of poor laws for Ireland is attracting attention in Ireland. A meet ing was held on that subject in the city of Dublin, the particulars of which will be found, under the proper head, in another part of our Paper. It will be col lected from the speeches delivered on the occasion, that an attempt was made to frustrate the object of the meeting by proposing the question of adjournmrnt. "F he question of adjournment, however, was scouted by the general voice, and a petition to Parliament, praying for the adoption of a system of poor laws, was agreed to almost by acclamation. Of the three Bills now before Parliament, that of Mr. Poulett Scrope was avowedly the favourite of the meeting, because it went further than either of the ()thus to wards embodying the. principle of the 43d of Eliza beth, which ensures " protection to the sick and em hi of Mr. Scrope's Bill comes at ployment to th e s t rong ." te a place r s e o p o a n r a a t o f t r e y r t t o he its e c d e s i s s c . o s t o n, stim ve o r t y lY augurs nt, I who i i pe n wph favourts opportune ell noto er timetake cause nel - their com parative merits, are already before the House. We should certainly have preferred a Bill brought in upon the responsibility of Government; but as that has not THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1856. been done, it is ~ r atifying to see that the Lesislatnre is anxious, though the Government may be passive or indifferent. A great change has taken place in the feeling and opinion of Parliament respecting poor laws for Ireland since Mr. James Grattan first hinted at such a measure in the House, when he was assailed with a shout of disapprobation enough to deter a man of weaker nerve from ever opening his mouth on the subject again. But facts are stubborn things; and, though we concur with the Dublin meeting in regard n) the suggestions of the Poor Law Co'mmissioners as timid, unsatisfactory, and ineffective, we are grateful to them for having collected a mass of evidence—which more than supplies tile deficiency of their recommen dations—which has forced the question on the consi deration of the country, and, we doubt not, will carry it to a successful result, in spite of the theories of . po litical economists and starvatioli philosophers. We look forward to the approaching discussion with anxiety, and shall watch its pt ogress with all the atten tion which its importance deserves.—Morn. Herald. Two months of the present Session of Parliament have passed away ; and what are the lessons they have taught us ? Rather let the Tories ask themselves the question—what have become of all their confident predictions—their bold, unqualified assertions respect ing their own strength, and the weakness of the friends of liberal measures ? They were, on the meeting of Parliament, to exhibit the formidable majority of 70 or 80 against Ministers ; and the Melbourne Adminis tration was, as a matter of course, to be ejected from office in the short space of one little month. Parlia ment met, and on the first trial of strength —the amend ment to • the Address—the Tories, instead of their promised majority of 70 or 80, found themselves in a minority of 41. Yes ; but then " the waters were out." The Conservative saviours of their country were inter cepted in their passage to the House by a heavy fall of snow. The Tories are an unfortunate class; the very ele ments, it seems, are at war with them. The snow, how ever, atlength vanished ; it relented in its hostility; it suf fered its Conservative victims to proceed to the sphere of their legislative duties. Of course, then, the majority on the next trial of strength was in their favor. How stood the fact ? On Lord Francis Egerton's " instruc tion" stratagem to defeat both Ministers and the Mu nicipal Corporation Reform Bill for Ireland, the Tories found, to their unutterable mortification, that instead of turning the scales in their own favor, and turning Lord Melbourne out of office, the majority against them had swelled to sixty-four. On a still more recent occasion, Sir R. Peel's attempt to throw out the same Bill on its third reading, the Tories found themselves in a minority of sixty-one, which, considering the re lative numbers present on both occasions was a larger minority than the previous one of sixty-four. So much for the truth of Tory predictions, and the de gree of faith which ought to be put in Tory asser tions. Still we must say that the country has not yet much on which to congratulate itself. The only measure of paramount importance—the Irish Muni cipal Reform Bill—which has passed the Commons, has yet before it the dangerous passage of the Upper House. There, we fear, it is sure to be strangled, as are all measures of national benefit and political ame lioration, so long as that House continues constituted as at present. The only possible means of securing a safe transit of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill through the House of Lords, is the same unequivocal and ge neral demonstration of public opinion on the subject. The hereditary Legislators must be taught, in lan guage which can run no risk of being misunderstood, that neither the people of Ireland, nor the friends of liberal principles in this country, are any longer to be trifled with, especially when, in a case like the pre sent, their demand for an act of equal justice to the latter kingdom, is backed by the stern logic of a majo rity of sixty-one Members of the House of Commons. Let the people of the three kingdoms, therefore, be up and doing. Let petitions to the Lords, urging them to pass the measure as sent up to them by the Com• mons, forthwith pour in on them from all quarters. In that case there is yet hope ; otherwise, there is none. —Morning Advertiser. What is the case of Lord Brudenell ? An officer in command of a regiment brings a brother offi cer before a court-martial, and prefers against him many grave and serious charges. Those charges are investigated. In the course of the investigation evi dence is given, imputing to the prosecutor himself cer tain irregularities and improprieties. He is never called upon to defend himself against the imputation. The finding of the court-martial acquits the accused of all blame, and inflicts a severe censure upon the ac cuser. His Majesty confirms the finding, and re moves the prosecutor from his command to half-pay. We omit all consideration of the justice or injustice of the finding of the court-martial, of the fitness or unfit ness of the approval of the King. We are anxious to assume nothing but what is universally conceded. The officer thus deprived of his command entertains a strong conviction that he has not merited the blow inflicted upon him ; that the terms of the finding of the court martial convey a wholly erroneous impression of his conduct ; that the approval of that finding by the King shows that the erroneous impression has produced an unhappy effect upon the Royal mind. He presents no petition to Parliament ; he flings no pamphlet from the press ; he impugns no man's mo tives ;he courts no man's favour. Believing that an officer ought to seek redress from every wrong at the hand of him whose commission he bears, he addresses to his Majesty a manly but temperate memo rial, in which he earnestly solicits that the charges which have brought upon him his Majesty's dis pleasure may be made the subject of investigation by a Court-Martial, before which he may have an oppor tunity of urging whatever can be urged in dental or extenuation of his offences. It is thought right to refuse him the Court-Martial he prays for. For a moment suppose this officer a Radical—thus deprived of his command upon charges not only not proved but not even formally preferred against him—charges which Ire has vainly begged permission to meet before a proper tribunal—what a story would this have been for the Roebucks and the Wakleys ! How would Sir William Molesworth have denounced the atrocious tyranny of the Horse Guards ! But Lord Brudenell is not a Radical ; and when, after suffering for two years the penalty of faults which, at the worst, could have pro ceeded but from an injudicious zeal in the enforcement of military discipline, Lord Brudenell is restored to the career from which it was never intended permanently to remove him, the malice of half-a-dozen spiteful in dividuals is exerted to prevent his Majesty from re ceiving into his favour a loyal subject, a gallant officer, and an honourable man I—Morning Post. ;rator.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for the seduction of his daughter. The p arties are both farmers, residing in Kilhampton, in this county. The defendant is 'twenty-two years of age, the plaintiff's daughter twenty-nine. Shortly before the unhappy catas trophe the young lady was living with her uncle ; the farm house contained two bedrooms ; in one of these rooms her uncle and aunt slept, the other was divided into two parts by a curtain. In one part slept the defendant, his brother, and an apprentice, in the other the young lady and three other females of the family. She confessed, on cross-exa mination, that two of the defendant's brothers, had occa sionally taken liberties with her. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 40/. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LIVICRPOOL ' MARCH 31. The Assizes for the southern division of the county of Lancaster commenced this day, in the Court-house, Chapel street, before Lord DENMAN and Baron PARKE, the former presiding in the Crown Court, and the latter in the Nisi Prius. The Grand Jury, of which Lord Viscount Moly neux was foreman, was briefly addressed by Lord Denman, who expressed his satisfaction at seeing, under the new mu nicipal management, so large an attendance of Gentlemen of the county. It reflected great credit to witness so many Magistrates of the county taking so important a share in the administration of justice. Neither at Liverpool nor Lan caster had he found one Grand Juror summoned who did not answer to his name. A man of forbidding appearance, named James Hey wood, was indicted for maliciously cutting and wounding Thomas Yates, with intent to maim him. The indictment set forth two other counts--viz., " with intent to disable him," and " with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm." The case was fully proved, and the motive of the prisoner for the horrible crime appears to have been a suc picion on his mind that the prosecutor was improperly ac quainted with Mrs. Heywood. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and his Lordship said that he would defer passing sentence. Nisi Ratus.—GEE v. WOODWARD.—This was an action for damages in an assault which took place in August last. The plaintiff, who lives in Manchester, is a travellr in the employ of Messrs. Pilkington and Co., spirit-merchants, of that place. The defendant is an elderly man, living on his own property, and resided as a lodger, at the time the as sault was committed, in the plaintiff's house. In August last the plaintiff was met on his return from a short absence from home by his daughter, the offspring of a former mar riage, who informed her father that in his absence she had been ill-treated by the defendant and her stepmother. The plaintiff immediately demanded from his wife an explana tion of the ill-treatment experienced by his daughter, when he was referred to the defendant, who Ass in an adjoining room (Mrs. Gee being at that time in bed). When de fendant was applied to in like manner, he rushed out of his bedroom and struck the plaintiff a heavy blow on the temple with a blunt cudgel,, by which he was stunned. A scuffle ensued, in which plaintiff was severely bruised by blows in flicted with the cudgel by the defendant, assisted by the plaintiff's wife. A surgeon having been sent for to dress the plaintiff's wounds, the defendant, accompanied by the plaintiff's wife, who, it is stated in evidence, is between fifty and sixty years of age, decamped, having loaded a porter with their moveable effects. The defendant and plaintiff's wife have, since that period, been living together as man and wife in Stockport. Verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 4001. 'F NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Nonwmff, MARcri 31. THE YARMOUTH BRIBERY CASES.-REX. V. PRESTON AND GREEN. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared for the prosecu cution ; and Sir W. FOLLETT for the defence. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case to the jury, and detailed the facts as afterwards stated by the witnesses. T. Brown said—l live at Yarmouth, and am a caulker by trade ; I have been a freeman for forty-five years. I reside at North Quay. I remember the last election of 1834 and 1835. Messrs. Praed and Baring were candi dates on one side, and Messrs. Anson and Rumbold on the other. The former were the Red candidates, the latter the latter the Blues. I know defendant Preston, a deal and ship merchant, and hemp merchant, in a large , way of business. Defendant Green keeps the King's Head.- Messrs. Praed and Baring canvassed me and many more. Preston, the defendant, also was with me the first time I was spoken to by the Red party, it was at the south end of the town. I did not promise then. The third time I was canvassed was on my own premises. My wife was present in the yard. Messrs. Praed and Baring were there, and Mr. Preston was with them. They so licited my vote for Praed and Baring. I said I had not promized my vote for any candidate. I said I was employed for the opposite party, and I considered them my friends in respect of labour, and as such I had thoughts.to vote in that line ; and while I was speaking the yard, Preston went into my house, and talked to my wife. Do not recollect, that my wife was in the yard. Preston went into the house and the gentlemen again entreated me to vote, and left the yard. After that 1 went into the house, and saw Preston there. He then went out, and I do not remember his saying anything. He came alone about three days after wards, about eight or nine in the morning. He asked if my wife was in. She was up stairs at the time. Preston asked my brother if I had made up m) mind to vote for their party, and he said my employment was with the Blue party, and with the Reds I h a d little or n o thi ng . P res t on sa id," If y ou p r o m ise 11l do all I possibly can for you." He said, I expect to be mayor next year, and if so, I will do something for you, and find you employment." I said I would not promise. I want into the yard, and Preston remained in the house alone. My wife came down just as we had done talking, and I left her and Preston talking together. When I re turned, Preston was gone. In consequence of what passed with her, I promised my voice that day in favour of Praed and Baring, in the committee room opposite the Shak speare's Head (the Red committee room). I saw Green about a quarter past ten. I was going to poll , and on going out or the door Green said, " Thomas Brown, here are the two guineas Preston promised your wife." Sir W. FOLLETT made an objection, that what one per son said in the absence of another was not evidence. His Lonositir would receive the evidence. Brown continued—Green gave me two sovereigns, one shilling, and two sixpences. I took the money home to my wife. I told her from whom I had got it., and what it was for. 1 voted for Praed and Baring about half an hour after I had got the money. I should have voted for the Red party if I had not received the two guineas, having pro mised them. Cross-examined by Sir W. FOLLETT.—It has always been the practice for every voter to receive two guineas for whichever side he voted, and whether the party won or lost. Everybody knew when the money was to be paid, and where. This has been the practice for a long time in Yar mc.uth. Have voted for the Blues about forty years ago, since which I have always voted for the Red party, wear ing their colours, and going with their voters to the poll. I went on purpose to Green to vote, and had no expecta tion of receiving the two guineas that morning. The two guineas had nothing whatever to do with inducing me to vote for the Reds at the last election. My wife told me that Preston had promised me two guineas. Won't swear that before the committee. I had stated that I had no ex pectation to receive the two guineas. I won't swear that I did not say that my wife expected the money. I had money for going to London. I had one part, and my wife the other. I may say my share was about 41. I received it in the House of Commons. Don't know who paid my fare. I paid for my living on the road. I got Soma money before going, in Yarmouth, to cover my expenses. Mrs. Ann Brown, wife of the last witness—l remember Messrs. Praed and Baring coming to our house. Mr. Preston was with them. In two or three mornings Preston returned, about half-past eight, and after that I came down, and heard Preston say, " Won't you promise, Mr. Brown ?" My husband said " No," and then walked out into the yard. Mr. Preston said, " Your husband won't promise ;" and I said " He works for the Blues, and would be turned out of employment." He said, " I'll find him employment if you'll persuade him, and I'll bring you down two guineas to-night at seven o'clock." I said I did not mind that so much as I did the employment. He said, " Don't make yourself uneasy, Mrs. Brown ; I will find you employment ; I shall be mayor next year, I expect, and then 'l'll get him a place." I said, " Well, I will persuade him. Ile said, " Do you think you can ?" I said, " Oh, yes ; I'll persuade him." Cross-examined by Sir W. FOLLETT—When Mr. Pres ton called it was in December. There Mr. Preston sits, and he knows he never came after he came about the money. 1 thought a good deal about his being mayor. I don't remember the last election. Have been married twenty-one years. I remember my husband voting, i n 1832, for Mr. Colville. If my husband received two guineas he did not give it to me. Preston said something about taking the children's freedom and the voting money away. Before the Committee of the House of Commons I told them that I said, " My dear, you must go to the Com mittee-room," and he said, " Not just yet," and I after wards persuaded him to go. I told the Committee that I had told my husband about the two guineas. I first stated that Mr. Preston had promised me two guineas when the barristers came down to our house. It was about ten days before we went to London, and I had not named it at Yarmouth before that. The house had been searched before then. A young woman had left a rug for a debt. As soon as I heard it was stolen from Mrs. Lin der I took it to the owner, and she said I was an honest woman. I don't know that the house was searched by the order of Preston for property alleged to have been lost by Mrs. Preston. Mrs. Walters told me that Mt s. Preston had lost a great quantity of things, and Mr. Preston might have caused the house to be searched. I had got Mr. Preston a servant. I was certainly put into a gaol on sus picion of stealing Mrs. Linder's things. The girl *as tried, 'and I gave evidence before the Jury. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Morley said the house was searched by order of Mrs. Linder. It was searched only'once, and Morley then found the stockings and handkerchiefs. I took the ring off the young woman on the Wednesday, and about four or five days after it was said to have been stolen. Nothing was found of Mr. Pres ton's, or any one elses, excepting our own property. I was taken into custody after the search, and was bailed in about ten minutes. I was a witness on Harriet Cox's trial. The girl said that I knew she had stolen it. Never de manded any voting money said to be due in 1832. I gave true answers in the House of Commons. I told the Com mittee that 1 told my husband I expected the money at seven at night. By the JUDGE--A gentleman came from London and gave us 30s. a piece to pay expenses on the road. We were about five days gone. We received money in Lon don ; about 31. or hardly so much. My husband received all but 10s., which I had. Some gentlemen that sat in London paid my husband. I paid the coach-hire back out of the 3/. The Jury here stopped the case, and the Learned Judge said a more wicked woman he had never seen in his life ;he thanked God she was not his wife. His Lordship exhorted the witness to go home and fall on her knees, and pray to God to forgive her for the perjury she had that day been guilty of.—Verdict of acquittal. SPIERS V. RAPHAEL. This was a special jury case. The action was brought for an encroachment on certain ancient common rights pos sessed by the inhabitants of Thames Ditton, in a large plot of land of about twenty acres, known as the Great Basing-field. The plaintiff was a Gentleman of fortune,- and a magis trate for the county, living at Thames-Ditton. The de fendant, Alexander Raphael, Esq., a short time back She riff of London, was likewise a resident in the same village. There was in the village a large plot of land, known as Great Basing-field, which was held by .different tenants under a peculiar tenure. From seed time till harvest, the different parcels belonged exclusively to the several holders of the title thereto, but after the crop was removed, or after Old Laminas, it became, till next seed time, common land, on which any householder or landholder in the village of Thames Ditton was entitled to turn cattle. Mr. Raphael held a large portion of this land, subject, of course, to the restriction on his rights of possession before named. But it seems he has a great passion for making brick walls and he a gate, which —that, at least, was his prevailing passion latterly, had thought proper to build up a wall dividing the portion of the field in which lie had only a limited interest from the till after harvest, when he hreestk,elpetas,eilnegseodniliyearossmeaeldl gtaimp time till he fixed allowed it to be open. The cutting up the 'soil and the raising thereon this brick wall, was the encroachment now complained of. • A long conversation took place between the Counsel and a tt or neys on each side in a whisp ered tone of voice, and a paper being drawn up, contai nin g the terms of refe rence on which they mutually we re agreed, the case was terminated REX V. PRESTON. This was an indictment against the same defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he made no- preliminary observations on this case. He had a plain duty to discharge, and felt the most perfect indifference as to the result—for if the defendants were innocent he should feel perfectly sa tisfied with an acquittal. After hearing the evidence of a man, named Gardiner, and some other witnesses, the Jury said they could not credit the evidence of Gardiner. Verdict—Not Guilty.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.- The sales are 36,800 ; the import is 13,807 bags. Cotton has this week been in very great demand, both by the trade and speculators, and has throughout had a decidedly upward tendency. Prices may be quoted id. per lb. higher in Ame rican, Maranhams, and Bahias, 4d, in Pernams, ld. in Egyp tian, and id. in Surat, and the market closes with much firm ness at the advance. The demand to-day has been less ani mated than previously, but prices are steadily maintained. 16,350 bales have been taken on speculation, consisting of 11,500 American, 2,100 Brazil, 850 Egyptian, and 1,900 Surat ; 900 American, 400 Bengal, and 400 Surat for export. There have been forwarded into the country unsold during the month 4,750 American, 300 Brazil, 50 Egyptian, and 200 INCREASE OF CRIME.—The Assizes generally throughout the country, appear to be very heavy. Is this a part of the working of the New Poor Law? This harsh sta tute which refuses relief, and the extension of the Police sys tem which prevents begging, the vending of matches, &c., will drive the puor, of necessity, to absolute crime. We are sorry to observe, that almost every law seems now directed to grind down and harrass the poor. Whatever may be the pa:it gress of political liberalism, the march of social liberalism is evidently retrograde.—Kent Herald. ',Our country friend ought to be better ;informed than to give currency to such arrant nonsense. What but "social liberalism" the liberally which provides politically for the happiness of the poor, who are the majority in every country—what but their permanent well-secured happiness is the object of " political liberalism." Surely it will not be denied by any sane man that the direct tendency and inseparable consequence of liberal politics are to increase the happiness of the poor. A singular wager was decided a few days since in a tavern at Gloucester, between a corn-dealer and a speculator in railway shares. The former, in the course of conversation, remarked that if a farmer were to bring a barleycorn to market one week, double it the second, and so on for every succeed ing week for twelve months, all the ships which ever entered the port of Gloucester would not be able to convey it. A laugh went round the room against the party, and of course a bet was proposed. The railway sp ecu l a t or , h ow ever, s p ee dil y found himself minus 101., the amou n t s t a k e d, f o r o n a calcu lation it appeared that it would require 1,099,511 vessels, each capable of carrying 1,000 quarters of grain, to stow the whole of the barleycorns on the fifty-second week. The parties present, it is understood, each set about a more diligent study of Cocker. On Tuesday, about half •past twelve o'clock, a.m., a fire broke out in the premises occupied by George White, of West-street, in this town. Several hundreds of people were in a few minutes on the spot, and, by their extraordinary ex ertions in stripping the thatched roof, but little injury was sus tained. Much credit attaches to the inhabitants for their hearty assistance, for a little .delay (or indifference, too often manifested at fires) would have involved in ruins many thatched buildings by which the fire was surrounded, the wind being very high at the time. The property destroyed was insured._ Sherborne Journal. A determined attempt at suicide was perpetrated in Carlisle goal after the assizes had termi na t e d, Thomas Twed_ dell, who had been condemned to transportation for life, en deavoured to shorten his days, first by hanging himself from one of the bars of the cell, but the bar failing his purpose, he then sharpen e d t h e meta l spoon allowed the prisoners for taking their food, and with it made several severe incisions in his throat, but being promptly discovered, the wounds were staunched, and he is now in a fair way of recovery. ~,_-..
