Two contemporary public meetings were held in the lecture halls of Deptford and Woolwich last night to hear the result of the South-West Lanca shire election, and to express the electors' opinion thereon. Half an hour before the time of meet ing the two halls were filled to excess, the crowd and excitement being such that the doors had to be closed and locked. ➢lr. J. Baxter Langley produced the hourly telegrams from South-West ancashire, giving the result of the polling. All the speakers expressed their regret at the loss sustained by Mr. Gladstone being thrown out, but at the same time congratulated the electors of the borough of Greenwich at having done their duty, and rejoiced at the prospect of having such an eminent statesman as Mr. Glad stone to represent them. It was stated that the Carlton Club had spent £250,000 in the present general election, and that on the assembling of Parliament the Conservative Ministry, with a view of avoiding a vote of want of confidence, would put a motion before the house that Mr. Walpole should be the Speaker, and that if they are defeated on it that they will resign. The telegram announcing the final result of the South-West Lancashire poll was received whilst the meetings were sitting, and it was con sidered that on the one hand it was a lasting dis graca to South-West Lancashire, and on [the other hand a lasting honour to the borough of Green wich in returning him to Parliament without his consent, and free of expense. _ _ On the motion of Mr. J. TuRPIN, seconded by Mr. M. J. CUNNINGHAM, and supported by Mr. Tobias Taylor and Mr. M‘lieath, it was resolved— " That the electors and non-electors of the borough of Greenwich express their profound regret that the constituency of South-West Lancashire should have polled a majority of votes against so eminent a statesman as Mr. Gladstone, whose illustrious services deserve so well of the country ; and is of opinion that the result would not have arisen if the voters had been protected from landlord influence and intimidation by the ballot." Letters were read from Mr. J. S. Mill and Mr. Edinolld Beales, stating it was not their intention of being a candidate for the borough in the event of there having been a vacancy, and desiring Mr. Langley's success. On the motion of Mr. W. FELIX ROBINSON, seconded by Mr. HOWELL, secretary of the Reform League, it was unanimously resolved--" That this meeting desires to express its best thanks to Mr. J. Baxter Langley, and its cordial admiration for his patriotic conduct, not only in retiring in favour of Mr. Gladstone's candidature, but also for his un remitting and disinterested exertions, which have done so much to secure the return of the two Libe ral members." A similar meeting was held at Deptford, where Mr. Le Lubez, of New Cross, took the chair. The hall was crowded to excess by an enthusiastic and crowded audience. Mr. BEALES was received with great cheering, and passed a high eulogium upon Mr. Baxter Langley's political conduct. Rea°lu- tions to the same effect as those adopted at Wool wich were carried, and Mr. Baxter Langley received a great ovation. THE TOWER HAMLETS NOMINATION ACCIDENT.-- An inquest was held at the London Hospital yesterday respecting the death of Joseph Lettinar, aged 38 years. On the day of nomination for the Tower Hamlets a cart was driven through the crowd whilst Mr. Beales was speaking, and the deceased was thrown under the wkeels. Ho was carried to the hospital, and died there on Friday last. The name on the cart was " White, provision dealer." The inquiry was adjourned in order that addi tional evidence might be obtained. EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY.—The obituary of the 2 imes-of yesterday, the 24th inst., contained some rare illustrations of prolonged existence, particularly in the case of foar ladies and two gentlemen, whose united ages amounted to 518 years, giving an average of exactly 86 years and four months to each. As usual, the fair sex took the lead, the oldest having reached the great ago of 88 years ; the youngest was 85. Of the opposite sex one was 87, and the other 86 years of age. -- r THE SUN, LOND(*, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 18 SHARE LIST. Closing Business Share N 4148. Paid.

CRIMINAL COURT=-(This day). CIIkRGE OF LIBEL. Mr. M. Williams said this was a charge against a gentleman named Ellison for publishing a defa matory libel, and he wished his lordship to fix a day for the poll. Mr. Poland said he was rather surprised at the application. In this case a rule had been ob tained in the Court of Queen's Bench calling upon the magistrate's clerk at the Mansion -house to show cause why further evidence on the part of the defendant was heard previous to the committal of the defendant. The grand jury had, however, re turned a true bill against the defendant, and the rule having been granted in the superior court some difficulty was occasioned. The Recorder said the libel being found he could not see why the case could not be proceeded with. Mr. Poland said at the magisterial examination the defendant was charged with publishing a false and defamatory libel, and it had since been found desirable to abandon the first part of the charge, and the bill had been found charging the defendant with publishing a defamatory libel. He hoped the case, under the circumstances, would be postponed until next session. Mr. Williams said that the mandamus had been granted, on the ground that the defendant had published the libel, knowing it to be false. That part of the indictment had been abandorna, and he now stood charged with publishlng a defamatory libel. lie was instructed by the Ottoman and Varna Railway, and he knew there was no desire to throw difficulty in the way of the trial. 11 , 3 was quite ready to leave the matter in the hands of the Curb a 3 to whether the trial was postponed or nut. The Recorder thought that as tha charge against the defendant had been altered it would 1:Q advis able to postpone the case until next session. he defendant must, however, surrender to his recogni rances, in order that they might be euLrged. Mr. Pohnd said he was not in attendance at that moment, being more than likely at the Court of Queen's Bench ; he would, however, be in attend ante during the Session. The Clerk of the Arraigns said in the event of his not attending his bail would be estreated. The trial was then ordered to stand postponed until the December session. The trials before the Recorder during the early part of the day were without the .slightest public interest. John Anderson, the American seaman who was convicted at the last session of the offence of man slaughter, was sentenced to six months' imprison ment. Jachiel Zeberski, the Russian spy, who was con victed at the last session of the offence of wilful and corrupt perjury, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. POLICE 14NTELL1GENCE-- This Day. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. STEALING PLATE.—Thomas Hill, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of spoons and forks and other articles of the value of £l5, the property of Mr. Jas. Howell, whip mounter, carrying on business at 3, Bridle lane, Golden-square; and John Carden, a tailor, who is known by the cognomen of the " Broken Nose Tailor," was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. The prosecutor said that in consequence of his workshop having been entered on three different occasions in November, by means of a pane of glass, and the window being unfastened and pro perty being taken each time—the robberies evi dently not being committed by a professional thief, he communicated with the police at Vine-street. The result of the inquiries made by the police was the discovery that the prisoner Hall, who was a friend of his (prosecutor's) cousin, had committed the robbery. A witness, named Charles Pitts, in the prose cutor's employ, proved finding the workshop win dow open on three different occasions and missing some spoons, forks, whip mountings, and silver solder, and afterwards communicating with his employer. Sergeant Lees, 9 C, said that from inquiries he had made he had found that Hill had asked the servant of the house to let him through to the work shop, and as he was in the habit of going there she allowed him to do so. Last night he took the pri soner into custody, when he admitted stealing the property, and giving them to the "Broken-nose Tailor" (Carden) to sell, and he then went and took Carden into custody. The prisoners were remanded, Carden hating been several times convicted. THAMES. SEALING HERRINGS IN TRANSIT.--Henry Rogers, a carman, was brought up on remand charged with stealing 748 herrings, the property of Mr. Sayre, a fish salesman. Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor, conducted the pro secution, and said although the property was only a few shillings in value, it was highly necessary to proceed against the prisoner. Barrels of herrings in transit from railways and wharves to fish sales men were often tampered with and plundered by carters and others, and that a stop might be put to these depredations, the prisoner was proceeded against. he prisoner received fifteen barrels from Lowestoft at the goods station of the Great Eastern to e-livey to Mr. Charles Henry Bannister, fish Talesman and curer, of No. 14, Edward-street, Stepney. There was a deficiency of 748 when the barrels were opened. The barrels had been opened and plundered. Tho prisoner was stopped in New Gravel-lane, Shad well, a mile from Edward street, with a bag containing 295 herrings. He said they were given him by a man to bring to the lane, and then wade other statements. He finally took the Inspector of Thames police, who stopped him, to a man in New Gravel-lane, to whom he intended to sell the bag of herrings, and to whom he had sold other herrings, making in all 748 stolen from the barrels. The prisoner, in defence, said that some of the herrings dropped out of the barrels, and he appro priated them to his own use. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial, and refused bail. WESTMINSTER. A MODEL NlECE.—Tryphena Babb was charged with ringing at the door bell of No. 21, St. George's square, Pimlico, without lawful excuse. Mr. George David Tolvill, a gentleman residing at St. George's-square, said at half-past eight on Thursday night the prisoner came to his house and rang the bell, wanting money. She was refused, and rang about six times again, and a constable was fetched and she was given into custody. Prisoner.—No, uncle, I didn't. I only rang the bell once ; you know you have assisted me for tin years, and only six weeks ago you gave me half a sovereign and said you would assist me if I re quired it. Prosecutor—She brought a note and I refused COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. WASON V. WALTER. The Court gave to-day judgment in this case, which raised for the first time for the decision of a court of law the question whether reports of debates in Parliament are privileged. The Lord Chief Justice, in an elaborate address, gave judgment for the defendants. OLD COURT. THE (MARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST MRS. LUMLEY. Sergeant BAllantine this morning, on behalf of Mr. Lumley, who Stan is indicted with feloniously intermarrying with Major Lumley, her former husband being then alive, for a postponement of the trial from the present sessions to those to be holden in January next. It was absolutely neces sary for him to ask for the delay, and therefore he hoped his lordship would consent to it. The Common Sergeant at once gave his assent to the application of the learned sergeant, and the trial was accordingly fixed for the January sessions of 1869. ~ .I, to ai,ist her ; a constable was fetched and he put her out of the hall, and after that she rang the bell in the presence of the constable. Humphreys, 124 B, who ejected the prisoner from the house, said she returned and rang twice in his presence. She was drunk. Sergeant Ardrews, who took 01 , 3 charge, corro borated. Mr. Ainold slid he should o:do,r her to find a surety to be of good behaviour. Had she a hus band ? Prisoner—Yes; he won't be home till twelve to night. The police said she hal been in custody before. Mr. Arnold observed that this conduct was not to be tolerated, and she had no business to visit after being denied. She must find a surety to be of good behaviour and keep the peace for twelve months. Prisoner (to prosecutor)---Uncle, will you be bail ? Prosecutor was not so easily cajoled, and the pri soner was removed in custody. 11.IARKE7 8-7 Ills D.IY . MARK LANE.

In foreign wheat a ■mall retail business was passing, at the reduced currencies of Mon day last. The demand was principally for low Russian qualities. Barley was quiet, and both grinding and malting de scriptions tended downwards in value. The malt trade was dull, at drooping currencies. There was a good supply of oats, and all inferior corn was the turn lower to sell. Beans were a slow sale, at the late decline. Peas wore very dull, but without change. Seeds and Cakes—Rod clover seed was hold for full rates, but all other English seeds were neglected. Linseed and rapeseed were steady in value. Cakes firm. Flour—The flour trade was very quiet, but prices were without further alteration. COTTON. LITERPOOL, November 25.—Sales probably 15,000 or 15,000 bales. Market firm and advancing. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. ( 4(PROit OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. PARIS, TUESDAY, Novernberl4. ;;, -- The judgment hi the prosecution against the Indepen• cant du Centre sums up very neatly the whole question of the justice of the legal proceedings on account of the Baudin subscription. The tribunal declares in brief that none of the penal laws, not even the most vague, can justify the Government in thinking that a deed is punishable because it is displeasing. The judgment adds that the seizing of the second number, which contained the subscription lists, whilst the first was permitted to go free; and the proseiption against the proprietor of the paper, whilst the subscribers, who must be equally culpable, are not cited, are also unfavourable to the Government. Homage to the dead is perfectly lawful. Beside;, how could a journal which is published in the provinces have any connection with the demonstrations in the Montmartre Cemetery? The offence of " ma nccuvring " against the Government implies a series of acts more or less complex ; but in this case not only was there but one simple act—the publication of a subscrip tion-list—but it was impossible that the incriminated journal could be charged even with complicity in others, as it is published remote from the capital. The true basis of penal legislation being the moral law, conscience and good sense alike reject th application of an indefinite law by immoderate eateniion or captious analogy. Some applause followed the delivery of this great judgment, but it was quickly repressed, both by the officials and the audienca itself, whp'h sufficiently indicated, by its attitude of silent andAntense interest, its sense or rue importance •f this judicial verdict on the side of liberty. The Procureur-General has resolved to appeal against the decision. Mdlle. Nilsson has done a graceful action which deserves to be recorded, exhibiting as it does a generosity and self denial rare indeed amongst singers. She has written to the director of the Grand Opera, restoring to Madame Carvalho the character of Marguerite, in " Faust," and offering to sustain any other character included in her engagement. Mdlle. Nilsson adds : " I the more owe this homage to the celebrated singer, as I made my first appearance on the French stage by her side, and received a welcome which I can never forget." A very strange instance of determ'ned suicide is reported from Rochefort. A girl precipitated herself from the second story of the house in which she lived as domestic servant. All maimed as she was, she was ab:e to drag herself to a well, into which she threw herself and was drowned. Count Augustus de In Rochejacquelein is dead. lie was chiefly known by the fame of his brother, the immortal hero of La Vend6e, but he gained some distinc tion of his own during the wars of the First Empire, ci vhich he was one of the very few survivors. The news of M. Berryer, who was erroneously reported to be dead, represents him as gradually sinking. lie has expressed a wish not to be buried in Paris, lest his funeral should Le made the subject of political demonstrations. „ THE WEATHER TABLE.-zral bar.

The motion has been most rapid during the night. The lowest reading reported is at Roche's Point, and is 019 In. lower than that at Yarmouth. Temperature has increased greatly everywhere but on the E. coast. Moderate to strong southerl y winds (which attained the force of a gale at Roche's Point and Brest during the night) are this morning reported frcm our S. coast and the W. of France. Fresh S.W. breezes prevail in the Irish Sea, and W. winds in the S. of Ireland. The gale in the Gulf of Lyons noticed yesterday, after backing to E., has subsided. Heavy rain has fallen in the west and at Biarritz. Weather this morning in these islands IS cloudy, with rain at places on the S. coast ; and rain is falling in the W. of France. One Goodwin was at the Central Criminal Court sentenced to six months hard labour for bigamy. At Hales Owen, the sheriff's clerk declared the poll closed at 4.20 p.m. instead of 5, in consequence of a desperate riot. Three men, Thos. Jackson, William Cook, and Robert Cook have been examined on the charge of setting fire to Messrs. Dawson's mills at Preston. They were com mitted for trial, Robert Cook being admitted to bail. The Manchester Examiner says that the const:tu 'cn of a court of arbitration for that district, to settle disputes be tween employers and their workpeople, has advanced another stage. Mr. E. Ovens, judge of the Manchester County Court, has accepted the presidency, and yesterday the code of by laws and standing orders were completed. The Secre tary of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce has accepted the post of honorary secretary to the new court. No time is being lost in establishing the Army Control Department and giving practical effect to the principles on which it has been based. Colonel Martin dale, of the Royal Engineers, hitherto Superintendent of the Barrack Department at the War Office Las arrived at Aldershot with the appointment of Controller. Commissary-General Drake, C. 8., already fills a similar post in Ireland, and it is rumoured that controller: have been nominated to Portsmouth, Malta, Gibraltar and the Cape. Tho names mentioned in connection with these stations are those of Principal Superi, t ‘ndeut of Stores Gordon, C. 8., Superintendent of Stores Roland, Commissary-General Maturin, and Assistant Commis ary -14 Amaral Watt..

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251.1710. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint prioe of Zi 118. 104 d. per ounoe for standard gold, it aPPe4no that gold is about the same prlee in London and Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1 9 j percent. At this rate t here i s no profit on the importation of bold rom the Uni!ed States. When Dr. M'Cosh closed his speech at Prince- ton College the boys responded with three cheers, tho usual tiger, and a "rocket." This rocket is a thoroughly Princeton institution, and is given with a f-z-z-z —boom— a—h ! The first exclamation is supposed to imitate the flight of a rocket in the air, the second the explosion, and the third the admiring exclamations of the enthusiastic spectators as they witness the burst of coloured fire. Raphael Semmes will shortly again appear on the scene, in a work elaborated from 'the logs of the Sumter and the Alabama. The work will be entitled " The Cruises of the Sumter and Alabama," Kelly, Piet, and Co., of Bal timore, being the publishers. The taste of these coming out in the face of his indignant countrymen is, to say the east, questionable on the part of Captain Semmes. But, to make the work perfect, portraits of himself and Laird ought to be given. 'IN
