OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION COMMITTEE ROOM. TRAFALGAR HOTEL, SPRING GARDENS, January Bth. 1853. THE LONDON and OXFORD COMMITTEE for conducting Mr. PELICEVAL'S Election are anxious to assure their friends that the result of the Fifth Day's Poll is far from discouraging sanguine expectations of success. The small majority of 87 obtained yesterday in Mr. Gladstone's favour, was the result of a great and despairing effort. With an antagonist occupying so prominent a position as the Chancellor of the Nachequer, supported by a powerful Government, and, in spite of miarepresentatlons most industriously and unscrupulously circulated by irritated antagonists, a private gentleman, because known to be a sincere and sound Protestant Churchman, an able and consistent Poltictin, will, if the Impelled Members of Convocation are but true to thews elves, achieve a triumphant and permanent success for true Church of England and Constitutional principles. The pall, which commences at 10 a.m., and closes at 5 p.m., will be kept open until the afternoon of Wednesday, the 12th, in order to afford every .elector an opportunity of recording his vote. Members of Convocation ar earnestly urged to record their votes early on Tuesday, and success e is then certain, inasmuch as that in July last, within four days, Mr. Gladstone had 1,300 votes ; and on the present occasion, in the same time, 600 have not been recorded in his favour. The London Committee sit here daily ; and the Oxford Committee in Magdalen C. LEMPRIERE, D.C.L., Hon. Sec. Trains leaving Paddington at 7.40, 9 45, 10.15, 11.15, 12.40, 2.0,wi1l enable members to vote on the same day ; a sim il ar advantage may be obtained by trains leaving Euston-square at 6.30 and 10 0 ; and those Members who have not received Circulars are requested to attribute this apparent neglect to the difficulty in obtaining their accurate addresses on such short notice. The special train from Didcot to Oxford, on Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday, at 2.40, is for the exclusive use of Mr. Perceval's sup porters, leaving Londcn at 12.40, or travelling from other places.

If the Income Tax had not received the Legis lative sanction, and been continued for eleven suc cessive years in its present form, it would appear a work of supererogation to enter into any elabo rate arguments to prove its inequality and injus tice. The sound practical common sense of the nation revolts at the proposition, that fluctuating and precarious income, earned by physical or men tal toil, is to be placed on the same foundation as the dividends, interest, or annual produce of accumulated and realised property. The one must speedily terminate. With the death or loss of health of the acquirer, a change of law or a change of fashion, it ceases. The hand of the skilful artist may lose its cunning, the intellect of the popular author, or the acute and learned bar rister, may become impaired through the very exertions he has been required to make, so that even the most successful of his class would be unable to support him self and family, and certainly not to keep up the insurances to which he had devoted no incon siderable portion of his earnings in more pros perous seasons. For such emergencies, every man of ordinary prudence would set aside a con siderable portion of his receipts, which may be considered in the light of capital, to be substituted for the talent committed to his charge when it shall cease to be productive. The moment it is so appropriated, that it begins to become remune-• rative, it is again, and very properly, charged. It is thus subjected to a double burden ; first, when it is earned, and, secondly, when it has been invested. On the other hand, the owner of well cir cumstanced real or personal estate has no care or anxiety. He may rest perfectly tranquil that n o change or casualty can materially affect his interests. If his name be inscribed in the books of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England as the owner of a goodly sum in the Three per Cents., he receives his annuity, whether times be prosperous or the reverse. No commer cial crisis can drive him t o des pair, or compel hi m to resort to desperate expedients to maintain his damaged credit. The abolition of special plead ing, or side-bay rules, will not cut away the funds by which he was enabled to provide for the edu-• cation of his children, or to undertake the health . preserving trip to the sea side. Under any cir cumstances his income accrues with unvarying regularity. At his death it remains for his children. In case of sickness or idleness, it still may be depended on. As the Laird of Dumbie dykes said, "it J' a lvinguhlie he is sleeping." And there is neither the obligation in ducement to the to set aside a large prop ort i on of his revenue, either for the exigency of his old age or of the rising generation. But Chancellors of the Exchequer have en deavoured to defend the obnoxious system. PEEL, and GOUULBIJRN, WOOD and GLADSTONE, have moat strenuously and energetically protested against any change or modification of the assessment. The objectionable enactment having once passed, no alteration would be accepted that did not promise a perfect system. When anything was spoken of the hard ship inflicted on struggling men, the case of Mr. MOOR; the Leviathan sinecurist, or of some of the wealthiest of the ale-kings or millionaire bankers, was referred to, and contrasted with that of an unfortunate widow having a scanty sum in the Three per Cents., the savings of a prudent and thrifty husband, and the smile of derision excited by the comparison was regarded as a triumphant argument in favour of the existing practice. These, however, are the exceptions to the general rule, and. we must not legislate for exceptions. If Mr. MOORE'S case is to be considered, let there be a special enactment framed to meet it. We should not have the slightest objection to ten, twenty, or fifty per cent. being laid on parties who, like the rev, gentleman, or his kinsman, Archdeacon CROFT, are in the en joyment of enormous incomes, for which they ren der little, if any return. Nor would it greatly grieve us if the Dukes of GRAFTON and MARL- Boßouan—the heirs of the Duke of SCHONBERG-- the Earl CowPER, or the assignees of CHARLES BOONE were placed in the same category, in respect of the pensions which they have so long been re ceiving. But it cannot be maintained, that be cause these persons are in the enjoyment of Bch enormous incomes, the myriads of hard-working and under-paid clerks, small tradesmen, or professional men, are to be subjected to excessive taxation, in order to ensure that these persons should be compelled. to contribute a portion of their unrighteous gains to the public service. The cases of the ale-kings or millionaire bankers is not at all in point, because they have large capitals embarked in their respec tive occupations, which is fairly and legitimately liable to taxation, and could not escape if the charge levied were made according to the capi talised value of each man's possessions. The absurdity, if it be so, is occasioned by the attempt to place every description of industrial income within a single class, and in one schedule. So long as that is persisted in, there will, there must be injustice. There may, to, use the words of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " be a greater approximation to justice than in the mea sure hitherto in force." That is all. But when the charge is levied on capital, and. capital only, irrespective of the profits it may return, then, and not till then, will each man be taxed according to his means, and the charge levied with perfect equality and fairness. We throw this hint out for the consideration of Fiscal Reformers. If they please, they can ensure its being carried into practical operation. It will be well worth the trouble of achieving. We may now hope that the Railway Cab-ques tion, as i it is termed, will be placed in a train for speedy decision by a competent authority. It has now been brought before six different Magis trates, but none of them have followed the flip pant and self-satisfied course adopted by Mr. A'BECICETT, before whom it was first raised. The consequences of that judgment might have been productive of great public inconvenience. It could scarcely be supposed that the several companies having metropolitan termini would be prepared to surrender into the hands of the Commissioners of Police the right of entry at all times into their premises—not merely for themselves, but for any persons who might chance to be licensed as cab-driTers. Unless the managers were permitted to enforce the regulations, which the peculiar nature of their traffic and the protec tion of the property of passengers by their re spective lines required, the greatest annoyance would necessarily follow. The Companies could not be expected to submit to the vexatious interference to which they would be liable—and the necessary result would be, that passengers would have to seek vehicles at the nearest stand beyond the limits of the Companies' premises. This course was for a short time adopted by the Eastern Counties Board, but it was speedily al tered at the request of persons using the line. On Saturday the subject was brought forward for the sixth time at the Lambeth Police Court. The Honourable Mr. NORTON and Mr. ELLIOTT wore both in attendance—a course which the importance of the case not only warranted, but demanded. In this instance it was a person authorised by the South-Western Railway Board to ply at the Waterloo Station that was summoned. Much interest was naturally excited among the railway officials and cab proprietors as to the issue of the contest. The cabbies secured the efficient aid of Mr. BALLANTINE ; while the Railway Board were well represented by Mr: CROMBIE, the solicitor of the Company, who at once made the most liberal admissions—everything, in fact, that could be required for obtaining a final decision on the broad merits. There was no quibbling, no evasion, but everything bond fide, and straight forward. It appeared in the course of the discussion, that one Magistrate, and one only, has adopted the view of Mr. A'BECKETT, al though .he has evinced greater discretion, ii not permitting the penalty to be enforced until the decision of a Superior Court can be had on the point. On the other hand, three learned gentle men, considering that there was no just cause of complaint, dismissed the summonses on which they Were called on to adjudicate. Their calm and deliberate judgments were confirmed by the opinions of thelaw officers of the Crown which were taken on the subject, and forwarded from the Home-Office to the several Magistrates for their guidance, and which were to the effect, that the plying for hire within a railway station was not within the meaning of the statute. As, however, there is a difference on the magisterial bench, and a minority of these functionaries remain uncon vinced by the arguments or authority of the AT TORNEY OT SOLICITOR GENERAL, it is exceedingly desirable that the question should be set at rest by the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, which can easily be obtained under the section referred to by Mr. ELLIOTT on the refusal of a magistrate to adjudicate, and the railway autho rities are willing to undertake the heavy expense of obtaining a decision. It is more than probable then that Messrs. NORTON and ELLIOTT will adopt this course, and refer the matter to the Queen's Bench. The whole expense should not, however, be permitted to fall on one company. All the great trunk lines are equally interested in the result, and all should join in the necessary outlay. We have no doubt that such will be the case, for deeply as they have been maligned, we have never known a want of liberality or public spirit on the part of the man agers. The South-Eastern, and Brighton, and Eastern Counties Companies whose termini are placed within the jurisdiction of the convicting magistrates, who think that they are sounder lawyers than Sir FREDERICK THESIGER Or Sir FITZROY KELLY, Sir ALEXANLER COCKBURN or Mr. BETHEL, may have the greatest reason to desire a speedy decision, but it is a common cause, and should, and doubtless will, be met by a common exertion and a common outlay. EARL GRAITVILLE.—This nobleman, Lord President of the Council, met with an accident while hunting on Thursday with a party of gentlemen, the guests of the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, the noble earl experiencing a fall which unluckily broke his collar bone. His lordship was conveyed to London the same evening, and, we are happy to state, is progressing satisfactorily to recovery, the medical attendants of the noble earl announcing that he is going on as well as possible. - RESPITE OF THE CONVICT BARBOUR.- A special mcs sengur was sent from the Secretary's of State's office, Whitehall, on Friday evening, to York, bearing a week's respite for James Barbour, who was under sentence of death for the murder of Robinson, the hawker. The execution of Barbour had been fixed for Saturday, the Bth inst. Another messenger was sent off last night. This respite for a week only is not the result of any doubt of the propriety of the conviction, according to the strong legal evidence produced. It was granted solely on ac count of the very pressing solicitations that were urged at the last moment, and promises of disclosures that it would be difficult entirely to deny. The authorities of York Castle, however, are instructed to intimate to the chance of o having n his Iliw swparretecdhent:ltuculs:prit dependp that u his final p h d c ti e prdmised testimony, and that as far as the evidence ayfel ready produced g oes, there is no reason for interfering with the duee-eourse of the law. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The sales of cotton, at Liverpool, on Saturday, were estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was steady, at previous rates. The sales included 200 Pernam and Maranham, at 6d. to 6d. ; 300 Surat, at 3gd. to 4id. ; and the remainder nearly all American. Railway Shares were rather firmer. The corn market was heavy again this morning. The West India accounts present nothing of par ticular interest, and there had been no business of importance done in the House of Assembly since the previous advices left. Among the notices of motion we find one for the purpose of bringing under consideration " the propriety of admitting, free of duty, the productions of those countries which may reciprocate, by admitting the products of Jamaica on similar terms," the results of which, if passed, would, it was considered, materially benefit the colony. At St. Croix a committee of the Legislature had recommended additional compensation to be granted to the owners of the slaves emancipated by the Danish Government. The steamer does not bring satisfactory information of the state of trade, which had been duller than usual at Christmas time, owing to the lateness of the crops in Jamaica and the sickness prevailing in the other colonies. The steamer has over a million and a half of dollars in specie on board. At Panama there had been arrivals of 2,532,000 dollars, of which 395,325 dollars were on English account. By the steamer Linia, from Valparaiso, there had also been 194,978 dols. received. The clipper ship Oberon brings advices of De cember 7 from Pernambuco. Sugar continued to be freely supplied, and prices had given way, but a large business was transacted. Of cotton, _ there were considerable arrivals from the interior. The exchange on London was nominal at 2s. Bid. Freight to the United Kingdom was 475. 6d. per ton. The New York letters speak well of trade in ge neral, which was active. Money was easier, and in bills of exchange on London a fair business was transacted. Cotton was in tolerable demand, and breadstuffs were rising. The balance-sheet of the National Bank of Bel gium is to the 31st ult. The total business opera, tions represent the sum of 127,390,000 dols. The circulation was 69,379,510 dols. In announcing payment of the first interest coupon, viz., 8 francs 75 cents. (being 5 per cent. on the 6/. paid-up), the directors of the Paris and Lyons remark :—" The dividend arising from the profits of working_will be fixed at the approaching general meeting, and paid on the Ist July, together with the half-year's interest falling due at the same period." _ _ In announcing a call of 11. per share, payable between the 18th January and Ist February next, the directors of the Western of France add : " This call, which makes the amount per share paid up 61., will allow an early conversion of the nominative certificates into others, to bearer'— i. e., so soon as the Government shall have sanc tioned the modifications required by the company in reference to its statutes." The following are the numbers of the Bonds of the Paris and Orleans, designated by lot (at the drawing of the 14th ultimo), to be paid off at 501. each, on and after the 3rd instant :-92 Bonds of the first Loan—viz., 3,801 to 3,892 ; 19 Bonds of the second Loan—viz., 9,261 to 9,269 ; 11,361 to 11,370. The English Stock Market opened well, Consols being up to 100# ; but they have gone rather flatter since, being now 1001 to #. Bank Stock has been very steady at 224 3 / 4 . Exchequer Bills are worth 675. to 70s. ; and India Bonds, 795. premium, being both rather heavy. The New 3 per Cents. are 1011 to / ; and the 3 per Cents., 1011 to The Foreign Market is inactive. Mexican have been 23i to f--the,news from the Republic being still unfavourable. Grenada Deferred Bonds are worth 121 ; Equador, 5 ; and Brazilian New, 94. Peruvian Old Stock is worth 105, and firm. Por- tuguese Old 5 per Cents. have been quoted 42 ; and Spanish Deferred, 23g. The Certificate is 4 to I. The Turkish Loan is only II premium. Dutch 2 per Cents. have been at ssg to 67 ; and Russian 44 per Cents. at 104 to Railway Shares are generally very good, and although there is not a large business doing, prices are up about per cent., and in some instances more, Eastern Counties, Caledonian and Aberdeen being in most favour. French Shares have been a shade better. The Gold Mine Shares are pot largely dealt in, but realise about former prices generally. The Australian Agricultural Shares are much the same as on Saturday, and also the other shares. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. (From the Official List.) Basin ess done. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Consols for Opening 18th January THE ALLEGED ROBBERY OF DOCKYARD STORES.— Peter German, master of the Unity, schooner, belonging to Portsmouth, was on Saturday charged before Wr N. Massey, Esq., M.P., Recorder for the borough of Ports mouth, with stealing between 14 and 15 cwt. of old iron stores, consisting of a chain cable, iron knees, iron shack les, &c., the property of the Queen. These stores had formed part of a cargo he had had ,to convey from the Dockyard to Johnson's Wharf, London ; and which, on the return of the vessel to the dockyard, were, informa tion being given which led to a search, found on board in an out of the way place. Messrs. Poulden and Wise were the barristers on the side of the prosecution, and Mr. Saunders for the prisoner. The case occupied the Court nearly six hours, the defence being that the arti cles in question were on board the Unity without the knowledge of the prisoner ; and the jury adopting this view of the case , acquitted him. Loss AND ECOVERY OF A MAIL.—On last Friday morning, about a quarter before seven o'clock, as City police-constable No. 224 was going his rounds, he ob served a chimney sweep in Smithfield staggering under the weight of a large leathern bag, which he had on his shoulder. The sweep did not attempt to avoid him, but boldly accosting him, requested that he (the constable) would go with him and his burden to the post-office, at the same time stating that he had found the bag and contents whilst looking for work. The constable, being on duty, could not leave his beat, but offered to accom pany him to the station-house in Smithfield. This pro posal being acceeded to, they carried the load bet ween them, and on arriving at the police-station it was ascer tained to be the heavy mail bag from Newcastle-upon- Tyne and adjacent places. The sweep accounted for the possession of the property as follows :—ln passing through Coppice-row, Clerkenwell, soon after six o'clock, he perceived what appeared to be a sack of corn in the carriage road, and going towards it discovered it was a mail bag. The circumstance has been reported to the Postmaster-General, and a suitable reward will be con ferred on the finder for his honesty and promptitude in restoring the missing mail to the proper authorities. DREADFUL MURDER.— It is our painful duty to record a dreadful murder which was perpetrated on Wednesday evening last, at Crowl, midway between Beechwdod and Cloughjordan. The victim—a quiet, inoffensive man, named Hugh Coley, who was bailiff to the Misses Craw ford, formerly of Rapla—was shot dead, while reading a letter at his own fireside. It is stated that an armed gang came to a window, one of them took deliberate aim and shot the unfortunate man on the spot, also severely wounding his son, who was in the act of hold ing a candle for his father at the moment. The cause of the shocking outrage is not ascertained ; but it is al leged to arise from some entertained towards Cauley by some persons evicted from the Crawford pro perty. Cauley was for a number of years in the service of Mr. Cooper Crawford, of Rapla, by whom he was held in very high regard, on account of his general good con duct. We learn that several persons have been arrested fearful b deed.—Limerick by the on suspicion itep of being implicated in this THE LATE DUKE OF WBGLINGTON.--We understand that the will of the late Duke of Wellington is to be prod dee i v d e ed under t t t h h e e s u u a m r w o f h u B h oo u , 0 0 n 0 v 0 e 1 y . e d It ht the r a e s m a last a t u a a s e fbeenthe late illustrious Commander-in -Chief to St. Paul's Cathe dral is to be placed in the Repository of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, and the pall used upon the occa sion of the funeral in Chelsea Hospital. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF LORD DENMAN.—We are sorry to have to state that a communication was received in town on Saturday, from Nice, stating that Lord Den man had been seized with a paralytic attack, and that he was in a very dangerous condition. His lordship's eldest son immediately left town, to attend upon his venerable parent. • TIIE SUN,7LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1853, COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, JAN. 8. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, Prince Edward of Saxe Wei mar, and Major-General Sir G. Bowles, went out shoot ing this morning, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. Seymour. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, with the whole of the visiting company, have left the Castle to-day. The Hon. Amelia Murray and the Hon. Lucy M. Kerr have succeeded the Hon. Matilda Paget and the Hon. Mary Seymour as maids of honour in waiting to the Queen. Lieutenant-Colonel the Right Hon. Cecil Forester had an audience of the Queen to-day, on resigning the office of Comptroller of the Household. Those who dined with her Majesty this day were her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Serene High ness the Prince of Leiningen, her Serene Highness the Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe, the Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Kent, and the Baroness de Speth. The Queen's private band was in attendance after dinner in the Castle, and performed the following selec tion : Overture—"Le•nora" Selection, first act—"Zauberflo':e Mozart. Finale—"Stradella" JANUARY 9. The Queen and Pr'nce, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and Pr:rcess Alice, the Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Leiningen, and Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe, with the ladies and gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic household, attended divine service in the private chapel of the castle this morning. The Hon. and Rev. G. Wellesley officiated. The Earl of Aberdeen and Lord John Russell arrived n town on Saturday morning from Windsor Castle. Earl Granville (ford President) was prevented attend ing the Cabinet Council on Saturday, by his recent accident. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town on Saturday. Despatches were sent on Saturday from the Colonial office to the Governors of Hong Kong and Ceylon, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and the Governor of Malta. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing -street. It was attended by the Earl of Aberdeen, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, Viscount Palmerston, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, the Cha- , :cellor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Sir Charles Wood, and Sir William Molesworth. The council sat three hours. BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS. The Board of Trade returns for the month ending the the sth of December were issued on Saturday morning, and furnish most satisfactory results. The previous re turns showed an increase of 234,5881. in the declared value of our exportations as compared with the corres ponding month of last year, and there is again an augmenation on the present occasion of 914,478/. The improved prices of various articles of raw material have had some influence in producing this increase, but it has arisen mostly from items involving a large amount of skilled industry, and in both cotton and woollen yarns there has been a decrease. The total in the instance of metals is the one that has been most affected by rising markets, but even here there has been a large increase in the quantity as well as in the money value of the ex portations. The other articles which show the largest increase in the present tables are cotton, silk, and woollen manufactures, wrought leather, and haber dashery, the great and continuous improvement in the latter being still a point for particular remark. The aggregate value of our exports during the eleven months of the year has been 65,349,7981., against 63,314,2721. in the like period of 1851, showing an increase of 2,035,5261. As compared with the same period of 50, there has been an increase of 4,949,2731. EXECUTION OF HORLER -(THIS DAY.) This morning the convict Holler, condemned to death at the December session of the Central Criminal Court, for the murder of his wife, suffered the extreme penalty of the law in front of Newgate. The crowd assembled to view the execution, which was numerous and of the usual character, manifested by their behaviour but little sense of the solemnity of the awful scene before them. We understand that the wretched man died penitent. SIR CHARLES LEMON.-It was reported in Devon port on Saturday evening that Sir Charles Lemon, the worthy and highly esteemed M.P. for West Cornwall, died on Friday. LORD WATERFORD.—The assertion that Lord Water ford had given up steeple chasing in England from dis gust, is proved, like most other assertions emanating from the same source, to be altogether unfounded, his lordship having, in addition to four entries in the Grand National at Liverpool, several nominations for the steeple chase and hurdle race at Coventry. OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS.-The Master of the Rolls has appointed Mr. Kenyon L. Parker, Q.C., to succeed Mr. Thomas Hall Plumer, deceased, as one of the ex aminers in the Court of Chancery. The other examiner ship, vacant (after many years' service) by promotion of the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P., .to the office of Judge- Advoc'ate to the Queen, will be conferred upon Mr. C. Otter, barrister-at-law, of Lincoln's-inn, is the private secretary of the President of the Board of Trade. The Vice-President (and Paymaster), Lord Stanley of Alder ley continues Mr. Edgar Bowring as his secretary at the Board of Trade. Mr. Bernal Osborne has selected Mr. H. E. C. Stapylton, of the Admiralty, as his official private secretary. Sir Thomas Redington has appointed Mr. Arthur Hobhouse (of the Board of Control) to be his official private secretary. Sir John Young has ap pointed Mr. G. F. Dalton to be his private secretary.--- Observer. JUMPING FROM A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Saturday even ing Mr. William Baker, the coroner, held an inquest at the Crown and Anchor, Cheshire-street, Bethnal-green, on view of the body of Mr. Richard Pratt, aged 53, late landlord of the above-named public-house, who lost his life under the following shocking circumstances ;—Susan Bishop, of 24, Mape-street, Bethnal-green, stated that the deceased, witness, and other friends, proceeded on the 13th of September last to Edmonton fair, and about nine o'clock the same night they entered a second-class carriage at the Edmonton station to return by the Eastern Counties Railway to the Shoreditch terminus. The night was very dark, and the deceased had been drinking freely. They proceeded in safety until the train approached the Mile-end station, when the deceased pressed witness towards the side to the carriage, and said he should get out as it was near his home. The deceased was remonstrated with, and was informed that the train did not stop until it reached Shoreditch, but immediately afterwards witness heard that the deceased had leaped out of the carriage on to the line. The train was then travelling at the usual speed, and shortly afterwards the guards were made acquainted with what had happened, when they returned down the line with lights to seek for the deceased, who was discovered dreadfully injured and insensible. The deceased was conveyed to the acci dent ward of the London Hospital, where he remained for several days, and by his own wish was subsequently taken home. Mr. Moore, the surgeon, attended to the deceased, who gradually sank and died on Friday last. By the Jury--There was no light in the carriage, and the passengers could scarcely see each other owing to the darkness of the night. The deceased might have been prevented from jumping out of the carriage if there had been a light in it. Several of the jury were of opinion that it was highly dangerous for the passenger trains to travel without lights in the carriages, for it was quite evident that many fearful accidents might be averted. The learned coroner concurred in the obser vations of the jury, and added that such cases ought to, be thoroughly investigated, more particularly as so many fearful accidents had lately taken place on the railways. The inquiry was subsequently adjourned for the purpose of obtaining the evidence of the railway servants and other witnesses. THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT OXFORD.—We are happy to hear that the sufferers injured by the late dreadful railway accident are progressing favourably ; the report at the Radcliffe Infirmary this morning (Sun day) is that they are all going on well ; that, although Richard Falkner, sen.. who, it will be remembered, received so severe a concussion of the brain, has not yet spoken, he has evinced signs of returning consciousness. William Jones, horse-dealer, of Doncaster, who is lying at the Anchor, Heyfields Hut, who was so seriously injured about the head and body, is also going on well. Amongst the passengers injured was a Mr. Daniel Pitt, a cattle-dealer and maltster, who was returning from Cheltenham, where he had made a large purchase of cattle, and was on his way home to Northampton. His name, we believe, has not been before mentioned as one of the sufferers. He is very much hurt—his face is severely lacerated, head bruised, and hip-bone injured. After the accident he was taken to the Chequers Inn, High-street, and remained there until Wednesday after noon, when he was removed to his house at Northamp ton. The remains of Julia Norman, who was on her journey to Shelswell House, to live as lady's maid with Lady Louisa Harrison. were buried at St. Paul's Ceme tery. The partial remains of the poor man (unknown) were buried on Saturday at the same place. The cutting alongside the railway where the accident occurred has been stanked for the purpose of pumping it dry ; but owing to the great rise of water within the last few days it has not yet been accomplished. SECESSION OF AN AMERICAN BISHOP.—The Paris Univers says :—A general subject of conversation at Rome is the recent conversion to the Catholic faith of Dr. Yves, the Anglican Bishop of Carolina, in the 'United Stat es . D r. Yves ha d f or a l ong t i me em b raced Puseyite opi n i ons, D po is p h t z in o of MonsignorrVd i e rrg and felt strong sympathies for the Catholic religion, which had subjected him to much re monstrance. Since he has been at Rome he has put to oi Virginia (United i t h t , himself in relation with Monsignor Gill, the Catholic st d h States), solemnt a p t r e i s v ) a , te a n e d ar oa abjuration,dedr i r e e rsaesnedd of him selfth pub licly profess Catholicism. This ceremony took place on the 26th, the Pope in person administering the sacra ment to the convert. Dr. Yves, in abandoning the Episcopal Ch urc h o f th e U n it e d St a t es, h as g i ven up a very advantageous position. His wife at first warmly opposed his intention, but it is said that she now begins to defend him against the attacks of some Protestant ministers who accompanied the Bishop to Rome. THE SCOTCH GIANT.—The Scotch giant, James Kaley, who was some time back exhibited in a caf6 on the Boulevard, died a few days back at Paris, almost sud denly. He was 27 years of age ; his height was seven and a-half feet (nearly eight feet English.) Though ap parently of great power, he *as in reality of a very weakly constitution. He was never married, and died almost in poverty. OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. SIXTH DAY. ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

SlR,—Observing a statement in the Globe of Saturday, and Times and Morning Chronicle of to-day, to the effect that Major Beresford was at. Oxford for several days, taking an active part in the election, I beg to as sure you that the truth is, that Major Beresford went to Oxford on Thursday, recorded his vote for Mr. Perceval, and immediately left Oxford, and has not been there since.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, M. A. OXON. Temple, London, Jan. 10. SHERIFFS COURT-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Ogle.) lIULET V. CLARK-IMPORTANT QUESTION. This was an action under peculiar circumstances, and the first of the kind tried in this court under the new act. The claim was for goods sold. Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, resisted the demand on the ground that the plaintiff had brought a former action, on which defendant paid a certain sum into court. Plaintiff appeared on the trial, but was nonsuited as to the remainder, as money had been paid into court in full. Plaintiff now brought his action for the difference. The learned Judge held that the plaintiff could not recover ; it was not necessary for a defendant to give a plaintiff notice as to payment of money, in part or the whole ; he might have searched on the first occasion and been provided with evidence. It was quite clear that he had no right under the present action. Mr. Buchanan then applied for treble costs, on the ground that the action was vexatious. His Honour declined to grant the application to that extent, but awarded the costs of the day. SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) SECOND COURT. Before J. E. Johnson, Esq., and a Bench ofMagistrates. ANOTHER CANNON.-ASSAULTING THE POLICE. John:Smith,, alias John Roach, 35, a tall powerful fellow, was indicted for committing a serious assault on James Coldman, a constable of the M division of the Metropo litan Police. The prosecutor stated that he was on duty in New ington on the night of the 27th ult., when he saw the prisoner making a disturbance in Bent-street. A knot of persons was around him, and he was attacking every one near him. Witness went to him, and told him to go away ; but he suddenly turned round and knocked witness down with great force. While on the ground, he kicked him, took his truncheon from him, and broke it about his head and body. He would cer tainly have murdered him had not several other con stables heard his cries and come to his assistance. Wit ness had been unable to perform his duty since the oc currence. Serjeant Baker, 456 A, and two other constables, gave evidence against the prisoner, showing that they were compelled to tie the prisoner's arms and strap his legs to carry him to the station. It was also proved that he had been several times convicted for committing similar assaults on the police. In defence the prisoner said he was drunk at the time, and did not know what occurred. The Jury returned a verdit of Guilty. The Chairman said it was fortunate for the prisoner that he had not committed a more serious offence, as he might have suffered the same fate as the sweep, Cannan, who had death recorded against him for similar offences. They should inflict the heaviest punishment they could, by sentencing him to two years' hard labour at Wands worth. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE INCOME TAx.—A return to the House of Commons (obtained by Mr. Goulburn) has been printed, of the number of exemptions from income tax allowed to the receivers of dividends from the public funds, showing how many of the exemptions were allowed in respect of dividends under 251., 501., 1001., and 1501. per annum, respectively. There are 87,518 persons exempted, of which number 51,816 are in respect of dividends under 51. a year, 19,871 under 251., 9,601 under 501., 5,914 under 1001., aad 1,036 in respect of dividends under 1501. a year. INCOMES OF 301. A-YEAR.—It is estimated in a table prepared by Mr. Farr (Appendix to Second Report on Income-tax, folio 463), that the aggregated incomes of persons having 301. or upwards may be 316,380,0001., and the late Mr. Porter valued at 80,000,000/. the an nual increase in the real and personal property of the country. If these estimates severally approach the truth, it follows that one-fourth part of the income of the community is saved from expenditure, and becomes capi tal. It further appears, by a Parliamentary paper, 399, sess. 1852, that the income assessed under schedules A and C, and arising, therefore, from funded, landed, and other realised property, is equal in amount to that which is assessed under B, D, and E, the aggregate, that is, of industrial incomes. The amount of income which would be comprised in an area of taxation extended to include incomes of 751. a-year would be about 240,000,0001. ; and of this, one-fourth, if saved, would be 60,000,000/. FUNDED AND UNFUNDED DEBT.— On Saturday a Par liamentary return was printed of the total amount of the funded and unfunded debt of the United Kingdom, showing the increase or decrease during the years ending the Ist of January, 1850, 1851, and 1852. On Jan.'l, 1852, the unredeemed funded debt was 765,126,5821. 2s. 2td., and the decrease 4,145,9791. 18s. 9d. The un funded debt on Jan. 1, 1852, was 17,742,8001., and the decrease (no- increase) was 13,1001. THE EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF SPECIE LAST WEEK. —The imports of the precious metals last week comprise only the undermentioned sums, viz., by the Phoenician, fronal Sydney, 48,959 ounces f gold ; by the Niagara, from , New York, 45,000 dollars ; by the Madrid, from Cadiz and Lisbon, 2,3651. ; by the Sultan, 24,1001., chiefly from Constantinople; and by the Cresswell, 50 ounces of gold from New Zealand. The total value of these imports is only about 230,0001. We are also ad vised by telegraph from Southampton, late this after noons of the arrival of the Magdalena, from the West Indies and Mexico, with a specie cargo, stated at 1,700,000 dols., or 340,000/., but as these supplies will not be delivered till beyond the middle of next week, we do not include them in the week's summary. The Custom house statement of the shipments of the precious metals di rect from London during the week ending Thursday last is is follows :—Gold coin : To Calais, 3,000 oz.; to Hamburg 79,5000 z. ;to Belgium, 20,100 oz. Gold bars: to Ham burgl2,lBs oz. ; to Calais, 8,000 oz ; to Boulogne, 4,000 oz. Gold dust : to Amsterdam, 600 oz. Silver coin : to Hamburg, 4,000 oz. ; to Boulogne, 1,500 oz. Silver bars : to Boulogne, 1,100 oz. This gives a total of 127,455 oz. of gold, and 6,600 oz. of silver—of the aggregate value of no less than 495,0001, Of the gold shipments, by far the larger proportion, or 91,755 oz., representing a value of 355,0001. sterling, has been dis patched to Hamburg, chiefly en route to Russia. The other shipments are as follows, viz. :—By the Timandra 40,8001., and by the Euphrates 40,0001., both f or Ade laide ; y the Royal Exchange, for Sydney, 37,000/. ; •by the Haddington, for Constantinople, 17,7551., nearly all in gold ; by the Tagus, 10,8001., chiefly for Lisbon ; and by the Medway, for the West Indies, 5,9771. The total exports from the kingdom for the week are thus raised to 647,0001., and there is consequently an excess of exports over imports to the extent of more than 400,000/. _ HORRID CRUELTY.-At Dartford petty sessions, on Sat&day, Mr. Benjamin Rowland, son of a very respect able brewer at Erith, and Frederick Townhend and Charles Lamballe, were charged with torturing and ill using a pony. Mr. Thomas, of the Society for the Pre ♦ention of Cruelty to Animals, appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Binns attended for the defendant Rowland. The case lasted some time, but the following arelthe main facts : On the 23d of December Mr. Dean, the landlord of the Crown Hotel, at Erith, sent a pony to Mr. Rowland, sen., for the purpose of allowing him to try it, so as to ascertain whether it was fitted for his work. It was put to a water-wheel, but for some reason or other the animal would not or could not work it. Flogging and other expedients were resorted to, but with no effect, and the prisoner Lamballe then sug gested the lighting some straw, and placing it under the poor creature's belly, a mode which, it was said had often been adopted with bullocks to make them work. That cruel and horrible piece of torture also failed, and the poor thing, being much burned and its agony necessarily great, it could not be urged to move one way or the other. A halter was then put round its neck, and being attached to another horse the animal was then dragged out of the mill and led to a meadow, where it remained some time before it was attended to, when it was sent back to Mr. Dean. It did not ap pear that Rowland was present when the burning took place, but he knew of it and seemed to have taken part in flogging of the beast. Mr. Daws, the veterinary surgeon of Duke-street, M a nchester-square, London, and Mr. Cook, of Erith, who had attended the pony, spoke of the injuries having been caused by fire, and the great suffering which the animal had undergone. Mr. Binns having addressed the bench for Rowland, and Townend volunteering a statement in which he admitted burning the beast, Sir P. H. Dyke said the bench were unanimous in convicting the defendants. The case pre sented features of much atrocity, and they felt that they would not be inflicting a punishment commensurate with the character of the offence did they not commit the de fendants to six weeks imprisonment with hard labour at Maidftone. Mr. Binns gave notice of appeal for Rowland. THE LOSS OF THE VICTORIA STEAM SHIP, OF HULL. —An inquiry is now proceeding before Captain Beechey, R.N., and Captain Walker , R.N., of the naval depart ment of the Board of Trade, at the offices of that depart m ent,, at Whitehall, relative to the loss of the Victoria, Hull s t ea mer, which was wrecked some weeks since near G o th e nburg, and was attended by a melancholy loss of life. Some delay has been experienced in procuring the attendance of the crew of the ship so as togiveevidence, a nd as yet the captain has not been examined,he th not e h av ing returned' from Gothenburg. We believe evidence, or parts of it, will be m a d e public when the investigation may be said to h ave b een b roug ht t o a . terminatiou. TEE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS. RAILWAYS.
