EVE:STING EDITION. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROII Ti LE MORNING PAPERS UP THIS DAY. (FYOM. the Morning Chronicle.) The Railway BO has passed without the threatened aeeravations of tire stringency of its enactments in the House of Lords. Had not further consideration abated the symptoms of 'aostility that had been manifested towards one of the grand , :st improvements of modern times, it is difficult to say oviliat strange appearance the Bill might have assumed. As it is, the marks are strong upon the measure of an interference with the rights of property alike rash and. rare. The responsible conduct of these great enterprises is subjected to a degree of inspection and interference` much beyond what is genera;ly tolerated in commercial. concerns. And at the same time, the power of the management to keep their roads clear of the cbstrue tion, by which stupidity, santonncss, or malice, may en danger hierann life, is restrained within the narrowest limos. The Bili, even as adopted, is a warning to railway pro prietaries, and to the public, of the need for jealous watch fulaess er legislative interference. Capital is vested in these undertakings to the amount of sixty millions ster line. The shareholders are distributed through all the d'ffcreut classes of society. They have a right in their investment, and its actual or future profits, which is to the full as sacred as that of any other description of property. Over most other kinds of property it possesses the recom mendation of immediate connexion with public accommo dation and national improvement. ft is formally pro tected, in each particular case, by special legislation. We do not, therefore, contend that the management should be exempt from the supervision of Government. But it cer tainly ought to be restrained within the necessity of the see ,. And as certainly ought it to he provided for:in a spirit of sympathy with public improvement, of encouragement for public enterpree, and of respect for private interests and rights. Very di.fferent is the spirit manifested by a portion of the Legislature. (From the Times.) Although it may answer the ends of some, and suit the tastes of others, to talk of Popery as a system which can never again dist uro th e peace o f t h e wor ld, or even seriously attempt to regain its former ascendancy in Europe, no one who dispassionately observes what is pass :rig around him can fail to see the revival of old preten sions, and the putting forth of new energies, on the part of the Church of Rome ; all which are grounded upon hopes, which she takes no pains to conceal, of re. ascending the scat of universal empire. We will briefly notice three or four points in which the in creased confidence and augmented pretensions of the Papal church are abundantly visible. She more vigi lantly excludes the light of truth from her own de s:manes. The vagaries of Priest NPHale and his assistants in Map would never have been ventured upon, nor would they have been endured, a few years back. The instruc tams openly given, to " put out the Scripture-readers with ixhforks," &c., exhibit the increased audacity of the priesthood. But a simultaneous movement of the same d• scription is visible in every part of the globe. Perse cution. is at this moment going on against all who are found distributing the word of God in Spain,and in various parts of Southern America. The expulsion of the villagers of Zilferthal is fresh in every one's memory. And, as we have lately seen, the machinations of the Romish Archbishop have succeeded, through the criminal weakness of Lord Palmerston's employe at Naples, in depriving the English Protestants of that place of the liberty of enjoying public worship according to their own faith. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Lord Palmerston's frank and lucid exposition in the House of Commons, on Thursday night, of the measures taken for the adjustment of the Turko-Egyptian question, together with an article, understood to be from the pen of M. Thiers, which has just been published in the Revue des Deux Mondes, may be regarded as placing a perfect extinguisher upon the minatory flames which some rash or interested disputants would have enkindled between Great Britain and France. It is not, however, in this regard only that the speech of the Noble Foreign Secretary may be hailed with gratification by the country, but also as evincing, with a thorough apreciation of the true policy and internats of Great Britain, a foresight and judgment which afford the most satisfactory guarantee for their protection in future. A miserable fraction, however, of the factious press in this country would still keep op an outcry, against a policy which may be con fidently pronounced to be as judicious, decisive, and . etlicient as any that ever marked the annals of British history. We must, in justice to the most able of our op posing Contemporaries, except them from this charge; for even the Times, a journal little disposed to pass lightly over the errors or eulogize the meilts of Lord Palmerston, is induced to accord him the tribute of its tacit approba e, So far from the policy of the Noble Lord being cal eelated to afford Russia an opportunity of encroaching on the dominions of the Sultan, it is most especially adapted to guard against the possibility of such contingency. Russia has even come to the understanding that if the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi should be found to interfere with the general arrangements of the four Powers, she will con sent to its beiug annulled. This in itself is a stipulation so important, that when the treaty was first known to exist, the parties new most virulent against the Government were they who most strenuously insisted upon its abrogation by any means, even by an appeal to arms. (From the Morning .Herald.) The Marquis of Normauby moved, -last night, the se cond reading of the Ministerial Bill for providing money to enable the shun corporation of Birmingham to discharge its functions. The Earl of Warwick, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord Althorp opposed the measure, en grounds that are absolutely irresistible. The legality of the Birming ham charter has yet to be determined by the Judges. Should these learned and venerable persons decide against the legality of the charter, any convictions that might be obtained at Sessions held under the sanction of the I3irm ingham Corporation,would be rendered by that decision ille gal convictions. It would,in such an event, become necessary for all connected with the administration of justice under the Birmingham charter to apply to Parliament for an Act of Indemnity. Why, then, incur such a risk ? Why not permit offenders to be tried, for the next six months, throughout Warwickshire, by the county Magistrat,s, as has been the custom for a hundred years past ? The Ministerial Bill could only tend to aggravate all the evils that spring from the doubtful character of the charter. To vote money in order to enable a Corporation, created by means of a questionable charter, to perform acts that might, afterwards, be deemed violations of law, would be, as Lord Althorp truly observed, to entrap the Corporation into the commission of acts that might require the shelter of an Act of Indemnity. The Bill was, ultimately, with. draen. 7,1 ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FRI DAY EVENING. TlMES.—Private letters from Calcutta speak in terms of the highest satisfaction of the benefits likely to be de rived from the present speedy communication with India. To the interest taken by the public in this facility of inter course, and their consequent excitement, are attributed the instructions from the Home Government received by the last mail, for an efficient post-road from Calcutta to Bom bay. The greatest benefits are anticipated from such a me:lsere. The road would be cut through a tract of coun try which, though rich, is at present completely wild and barbarous, and thus not only would communication be faci litated, but the productions of the soil might be turned to account. The Governor- General is said to have expressed his warm approval of the undertaking, and to have bestowed especial consideration on the subject. It is thetight, that steam-navigation having rendered India a field of enterprise for all the countries of the globe, every facility of coraraneication with the mother country is to be sought for with avidity. AfTglianistan is described as being in a very unsettled state, the Ghilzee. tribe being all in arms, and the malcontents, according to the latest accounts, having surrounded Captain Taylor, of the East Company'a European Regiment, who was out with a party of 200 men. The Government were considering bow*they could find more men to send into Affehanistau, as it appears certain that of the 7,000 already there, not a siegle man can be withdrawn. Major Pottinger, who dis tinguished himself at Herat, was at Culcutta arranging his papers, end the period of his return to Herat was un e;',rtain. As the resources of Atfghanistan, are insufficient to 'maintain a standing army, the money will be drawn froth - Indian treasuries, and it is said that ti . ..ts new army will consume the surplus revenue of the Company, which they have refused to expend on internal Improvement. With respect to the China expcdi':ion, the writer of the letter says that the whole force does not exceed 5,000. he Csmeronians and a portie, o of the 49th Foot had ar rived safe at Penang-. At the same time uneasiness is expressed as to the state t e r the weather, and it is said that without the utmost alaemity the whole object of the expe dition will be lost, ee - ufter the end of September the wea ther becomes so eiole and stormy that the Lascars cannot endure i.. rite Arid, the opium clipper, that carried Captain El l ,tot's despat c h es t o the Red Sea, arrived at Calcutta 'iately. She has been again engaged by the su- Vctinteatdent to take a mail to Singapore, and the captain v;aa so anxious to avoid bringing any intelligence for the P'ablic, that he refused to take in a Calcutta merchant. 'Shia vessel brought five tics of iyeee, and is was reported that the Water Witch was coming eith an equal amount. 'Smuggling had been 11 , Mrishing along the coast, and the wade had been so profitable as to realize 150 per cent. As the Chinese will have opium, the destruction of the 20.000 chests at Canton proved of inestimable advantage to the smugglers. more than on ce state d that CHRONICLE.—W o h are the feeling in the City ran almost unanimously stro ng i n stinnort of the policy of the Cabinet iregard to ti Terti on of the Ottoman empire, and t he t .c integrity of th e pr e . n masterly exposition now given by Lord Palmemrsteoannofoltthhaet principles of his policy, has added to the i n t en sity feeling. At the same time, we do not by any to say that the feeling in the City is to be taken assa wish s index to the state of the public mind throughout sure kingdom, although we believe there is not much division of sentiment existing en the subject at pie_ sent. Ali seem agreed in opinion that France has n o goal cause for war, and that peace lmween France and this country must be maintained. This at least we believe to be the feeling cf the leading Liberai men in the City, and throughout the country, all of whom deprecate the conduct of the French Cabinet in seeking any appeal to' areas, and still fondly cherish the hope that if such a cala miry as war should again be inflicted on Europe, it may be a war in which France and England may be united—that war of opinion so eloquently foretold by Canning—in favour of constitutional government against arbitrary po"u"r. There is certainly no small jealousy enteitaiiicd towards Russia, and the assurances given by Sir John Hobhouse and Lord Palmerston that the reported success their expedition ag ainst Kliiva was erroneous, has rii3,..l>ted much i n clearing off the clouds from the political -orizen, PO ST.—Some curious circumstances have been commu nicat, it to us in relation to the Boulogne affair. The ma t,:ac /_,c)uis Napoleon, whose name is once more placed so prom:a:110y before the world, is slid to have been in the present instance, nothing but an instrument in the hands of .certain Stock Exchange adventurers. The steam boat placed at his dispusal . by the C ommerc i a l Company is irported to have been onta;ned through the interven tiaA of a party of the share proprietors, an application for her, coming through such a channel, being less cal culated to excite suspicion than would have been one coming in a direct form. The criminals, of whom the young Prince has become the dupe, are found to be persons who have fur some time past been playing a desperate game in the Spanish stock bob Ye, but who had, at the present crisis, deemed an experiment in the Consol Market, for the concoction of which there have appeared to be such tempting materials, more likely to turn to a profitable account ; and hence the infamous use that has been made of young Napoleon. The matter seems probable to become a subject of serious investigation in a high quarter. To this the committee of the Stock Exchange cannot and will not, we understand, have the least objection, but the contrary, as it cannot but be the wish of every person connected with the establishment who values his character, to exonerate himself from what ever suspicion might exist of his being in the remotest de gree mixed up with so disreputable a proceeding. It is not to be doubted—and this is, perhaps, the part of the business least to be regretted--that the supporters of the Prince in his revolutionary enterprise will be many thousands of pounds out of pocket in consequence of its failure. The representation of the mercenary wretches to the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, on hiring their vessel, was, it seems, that it was intended she should proceed on a pleasure excursion of a few days to Ham burgh. A certain sum was paid down in advance ; and, for the use of her, a similar amount was to be furnished weekly. The captain is described to us as one of those good-natured, unsuspecting persons who are exactly suited to the purposes of a set of unprincipled schemers such as those into whose hands he has unfortunately fallen. He was greatly respected by the company. The whole plot may be regarded as a continuation of the abominable system of stock-jobbing knavery that was first introduced here in connection with the Spanish loan ope rations, which we have, in the discharge of our duty to the public, felt ourselves called upon from time to time to ex pose and condemn. When will the eyes of the English nation be fully opened to the heartless iniquity of this system ? SUN.—The Foreign Exchanges were heavy this:after noon, but every one interested in making remittances to the Continent anticipates an early change for the better, that is, in favour of the drawers of bills. Paper was negotiated on Hamburgh at 13.84 ; Amsterdar at 12.1 ; Paris at 25.50, and on Frankfort at 1491 There were, again, many eager parties anxious to exaggerate the effects of the attempt of Louis Napoleon on Boulogne ; and from what transpired yestesday after noon, when certain individuals were openly affirming that Consols would be depressed to-day to 85, we have not the slightest doubt but something was known of it before the close of the Stock Exchange, although it did not transpire. There were also, to-day, statements cur rent in some quarters, that further descents would be made on other parts of the coast of France, Bordeaux being named as one point. We think, however, that after the signal failure of the present insane attempt, nothing will be heard of similar ones. The frank expo sition of his foreign policy given last night in the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston, and showing the se cure position in which our political relations with France are placed, notwithstanding all the outcry to the contrary, had the effect of improving the value of the funds very materially to-day, and there now ap pears to be a marked renewal of confidence. Consols for immediate transfer have been as high as 90i, though since then the former have been marked NI, and the latter 908, both closing 1 per cent. above these latter prices. Exchequer Bills have been steady at 22 to 24 premium, and India Bonds rallied to par. Bank Stock rose to 1731, and India Stock to 2531 ; the Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents to 1008 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents to 998, and the Reduced Three per Cents to 918. The Foreign Stocks have been more dealt in this afternoon. Spanish Active Bonds at 25 to 258 ; Por tuguese New Five per Cents at 34-, I- to 328 ; the Three per Cents at 21i to 224 ; French Five per Cents. at arise from 112 to 114 and 115 ; Colombian, at 251 -a, and Mexican at 294 to 1 ; Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents touched 528, The Railway Shares also met a good market, and at imp roved quotations. RAILWAY NOTICES. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company, at their last meeting, declared 10 per cent., the maxi mum dividend allowed by their Act. It is expected that the Chester and Crewe line, now an integral part of the Grand Junction Railway, will be opened about the 17th inst.—Railway Times. The results of the working of the Blackwall Rail way continue to be in every respect most satisfac tory. There are now four intermediate stations open, and, although only one line of rail is at work, the average number of passengers is about 6,000 daily. The second line will be opened either this day or to-morrow, after which trains will start every quarter of an hour, thus giving about 100 trains daily. As soon as these arrangemonts are fully completed, the directors will be prepared to accommodate steam-boat passengers on a large scale. Hitherto they have not: been able to comply to any extent with the offers held out to them.—Railway Times. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—it is pro posed to open the line in October, as far as Hooley lane, upwards of 16 miles from London ; and further from a point south of Merstham to the Three Bridges, near Crawley, a distance of 11 miles ;- so that the journey between London-bridge and Brighton will be easily accomplished in four hours. They antici cipate opening as far as Hayward's•heath, a distance of 37 miles, by Midsummer next, and throughout to Brighton early next autumn. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—TIC opening of the line from Sterenton to Faringdon last week, has given a considerable increase to the returns, upwards of 1,0001. being the first day's proceeds. The compara tive returns for the last week of the Great Western, aid London and Birmingham, lines show that the reeeipts per mile on the Great Western were about 1051. 10s., while those of the London and Birmingham were 1551. The line will be opened from hence to Bath in about three weeks. Every thing pro gresses most satisfactorily in regard to the preparatory arrangements. Mr. Brunel is now on the spot, and is pushing the work forward with great rapidity, and the utmost activity prevails in every department. One lo cometive is at present being tried on this part of the line *land in the course of next week we understand four other engines will be placed on the rail for the same pur pose.—Bristol Paper. ARDROSSAN RAILWAY.—We understand the rail way between Kilwinning and Ardrossan is nearly com pleted, and will be opened in a few days hence. There has been for a considerable time a railway there, but it was only a single line, and the rails of a light kind, fitted only for a horse draught. The line is now double, it is laid with strong rails, and instead of passing at a distance from Kilwinning, and running on to I Er 4 linton policies, it takes a curve northward, and joins the Glasgow and Ayr line at the Kilwinning sta tion. The trains that run on the Ayr railway are not the same as will run on tile Ardrossan branch, but the time.; of starting from Kilwinning to Saltcoats and Ar drossan will doubtless be so regulated as to suit the passengers on the Ayr line ; and in this way passengers from Glasgow will reach the fashionable watering-place of Ardrossan in two hours. A fine new engine, made by Messrs. Barr and M'Nab, for the Ardrossan branch, is to be sent off from Paisley on Monday morning, and a second one will follow in two or three weeks after.-- IPaisley Advertiser. RAILWAY TRAVELLING.-Since the opening of the Hull and Selby railway, parties may leave Lincolnshire by the New Holland packet at nine in the morning, proceed by railway at ten, spend two hours and a half at Leeds, and return by the three o'clock train to Hull, which saves the six o'clock packet to New Holland in the evening ; thus affording an opportunity to the Lin oolnshire farmer of selling his corn at Leeds market and returning the same day.

(Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) HOPKINSON V. SNOW AND OTHERS.-THE METROPO LITAN PARCELS DELIVERY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a corn factor, carrying on business in London, against the defendant, Mr. Snow, one of the Directors and Shareholders of the Metropolitan Parcels Delivery Corn pany, to recover the sum of 1461. for corn, and other horse provender, supplied for the horses of the Corn flatly. Mr. Petersdorff and Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Ogle and Mr. Hughes conducted the defence of Mr. Snow ; and Mr. Horne watched the case on behalf of other defendants, Shareholders and Directors of the Company, who had allowed judg ment to go by default. Mr. Petersdorff addressed the Jury, and said that his clLnt carried on the business of a corn-merchant at Paul's-wharf, and the defendants were shareholders in a Company styled the Metropolitan Parcels Delivery Company, that had been established in London a short time back, in opposition to the London Parcels De- livery Company - . The defendants had several stations for carrying on their business, and at one of them, in the Gosw•ell-street-road, the plaintiff had supplied corn to the value of 1461. There were in fact many respec table names attached to the prospectus of the Company, and the plaintiff considered he was justified in giving credit to that amount. He should show that the de fendant Mr. Snow had taken an active part in the formation of the Company ; that he had taken thirty shares in it ; and that he continued a shareholder during the whole time of the corn being furnished ; and be apprehended that in law this would render the defendant liable to pay the amount that was now sought to be recovered by the plaintiff from him. The Learned Counsel then called the following wit nesses : John Cubley deposed that he was a shareholder in the Company in question. Mr. OGLE objected that the evidence of this witness ought not to be received, inasmuch as was interested in the cause. The effect of his evidence would tend to shift the responsibility from himself to ;another. Baron GURNEY said that at the same time the wit ness would,fix himself. He did not think he ought to reject the evidence. The witness then proceeded to state that he was also agent and town traveller for the plaintiff, and he received the orders for furnishing the corn to the Company, and in pursuance of those orders, corn to the amount now sought to be recovered by the plaintiff was sent to the Company's station in Goswell-street. Cross-examined.—Witness had ten ihares in the Me tropolitan Parcels Delivery Company—it was first formed in September 1839. Some of the proprietors of the Company held a meeting at the Exeter Hall Hotel, and they considered it a good speculation, and resolved that the Company should be formed forthwith. They did not commence business until January, 1840. Re-examined.—The defendant with the other defend ants to the present action, acted as a provisional com mittee. Mr. Charles William Jones deposed that he was a solicitor, and he was concerned for the parties who sought to establish the Metropolitan Parcels Delivery Company. 'Lie defendant with Messrs. Adams, Chan cellor, and other gentleman, was present at the first meet ing that took place upon the subject. Resolutions were passed at that meeting that the Company should be formed forthwith, and Mr. Snow, Mr. Nunn, Mr. Adams, and some other gentlemen were appointed as a Committee, to act on behalf of the Company, and to carry out its objects. It was resolved that a capital of 50,0001. should be raised by five thousand shares of 101. each. Mr. Snow took an active part in the pro ceedings all along. He took thirty shares, and gave a check for 60/., for the amount of the deposit upon them. He was also at every meeting of the Committee up to the month of October. Cross-examined—The " Company" is not now in existence. It is either joined or sold to the London Parcels' Delivery Company. Should say that the Company was insolvent in the month of May. In the month of October the defendant re signed his appointment of trustee, and from that time he did not attend any of the meetings. A deed of partnership was drawn up, but Mr. Snow refused to sign it, but he did not assign as a reason for not doing so that he had no interest in the Company ; but of the five thousand proposed shares not more than four hundred were taken up ; and at a meeting of the shareholders that was held in April; the defendant wished to know how he would get rid of his shares, as he said a fresh call of 21. had been made, and he was unable to pay it. The other defendants are all persons of property. Baron GURNEY—No doubt it was a very good " Company."—(A laugh.) The resolutions for the formation of the Company, and the conditions upon which it was to be established, were then read. Mr. PETERSDORFF said this was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. OGLE then addressed the Court, and said that his defence to this action was one purely of law, and be was prepared, confidently, to submit that the defendant Mr. Snow, was not so connected with this Company as to render him liable to the payment of the debt that bad no doubt been incurred on their behalf. He sub mitted that, although the defendant held shares in the Company, that he would only have been liable supposing the Company had been established upon its original footing of five thousand shares being issued. Instead of that, however, it appeared that a very small number of shares only had been issued, and there was no proof that the defendant was aware of this deviation from the original plan, and still consented to continuo his liability ; and besides that, it appearel that the defendant had refused to si g n the deed of partnership, and after the month of October he withdrew himself altogether from the management of the affairs of the Company. Mr. Ogle then cited the case of Pitchford v. Davis, which was an action of a precisely similar character, against a shareholder in a projected Company, and in which it had been distinctly laid down by Lord Abinger and Mr. Baron Parke that a shareholder could not be made liable for the contracts that were entered into, unless it was shown that the principles upon which the Company was originally established had been fully carried out in every respect, or that the de fendant, as a shareholder, was aware of any deviation tbat had been made in them. Baron GURNEY, after referring to the case, expressed his opinion that the present one was of exactly that character. The defendant said that he consented to be come part of the Company if 5,000 shares had been sold, but as 400 only had been disposed of, and the Company began business with a capital of 8001., instead of what they would have derived from the 5,000 shares, he did not admit his liability as a shareholder. Mr. PETERSDORFF thought that the evidence was sufficient to warrant the belief that the defendant was aware that all the original conditions bad not been ful filled, when the Company was established, and that he was liable, as a shareholder, in the undertaking. Mr. Baron GURNEY thought the evidence was not sufficient. The question was, whether the Directors, having carried on the Company upon a totally different principle to that proposed by the resolutions for its formation, and to the prospectus that had been issued, could bind the defendant to their acts. Mr. PETERSDORFF said :le could not carry the case any farther. Baron GURNEY then said that if he pleased he might elect to be non-suited, but if the case went to the Jury he should feel it his duty to direct them to find for the defendant. Mr. Pctcrsdorff then elected to be non-suited. CRIPPERFIELD V. JUTSUM. This was an action for an assault committed by the defendant upon the plaintiff. . I NIr. James was for the plaintiff. Mi. Chambers for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant was a respectable licensed victualler residing at Greenwich, and the plaintiff was a journeyman carpenter living in the same neighbourhood. On a Saturday night, just before the hour at which the defendant was bound to close his house, the plaintiff went in, and rang the bell vio lently, and demanded some brandy and water. The defendant declined to serve him, on account of the late ness of the hour ; upon which he, as was alleged, be came very violent, and the defendant at length put him out of the house. This was the assault complained of, and it was alleged by the plaintiff that it was a very serious one, and that he was severely injured. On the part of the defendant, however, it was proved that no more violence had been used than was necessary to re move the plaintiff from the house. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the jury, and after remark ing upon the facts of the case, said he was quite sure that they would by their verdict express their opi nion that it was one which ought never to have been brought into Court. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 6d. Mr. JAMES applied to Baron Gurney to certify, in order that the plaintiff might get his costs, bw: his Lordship said he could not consent to the application. OXFORD CIRCUIT, SHREIVSEURY, AUG. 6. HALL V. COLEMAN. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 5001. for bribery alleged to have been committed at the Ludlow electior. The bribe alleged to have been given, which consisted of three 51. notes, and 35 sovereigns wrapped in brown paper, was produced in court. Timothy Meyrick examined—l em a miller. I have lived in Ludlow 26 years. Coleman is a master-butcher in the same town. A day or two after the news of the death of Lord Powis reached Ludlow, I was in Cole man ' ,: shop. Mi. George Gtiffiths was there. He and Cole man generally take an active part election matters on the Conservative side. Griffiths said to me, " You have 1 been very stiff with me often about electioneering. You are a fool to yourself ; you may as well have something for your vote as not. Don't be sold by a certain party." I said, " No, when I'm sold, I'll sell myself." Griffiths asked me how I intended to vote, and I skid, " For myself." Griffiths said, "Do you mean that? If you do, I can put 1001. in your pocket." Coleman then said, " Griffiths, I'll warrant hire ,all right." About a week afterwards I went again to Coleman's shop, and he told me to go into the little parlour behind the shop to his wife. I went in. Mrs. Coleman asked me if I had made up my mind what price I would have for my vote. She first offered 301., then 501., which I declined, and said, ‘‘ I unde r st an d y ou h ave b een bidding hundreds." She said 50/ was 101. more than they had given any one else. We did'nt agree. She told me to send down my wife. I did not de so. I saw Coleman again on the 3d of June, two days before the election ; he told me to go down to his %de again, which I did, and she told me to send my wife t o h er . I sen t my wife down that evening, and she brought me back that brown paper parcel, contam i‘r. inigthcproepeso/ck the same .notesa day. I votedsovereigns.nd3s fior gave moneyto have alway s vote d for that party. MAel°yertihe e k. I ck 's statement was confirmed by his wife and by Margaret Me} rick. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD having addressed tte jury for the defendant, Mr. Justice AN ILLIANIS then left the case to the jury, who immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. A fresh jury was then sworn at the instance of the counsel for the plaintiffs, and the following extraordinary case was proceeded with SHARP V. TILLEY. This was an action of the same nature, to recover the sum of 5001. for bribing one Samuel Coote, at the same election. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW and Mr. WIIATELY appeared for the plaintiff, and in support o f t h e i r case contented them selves with putting in the examination of the defendant before the Ludlow Election Committee, from which it ap peared that he had been engaged on behalf of Mr. Alcock by Mr. Coppock and Mr. Downes, and that with the know ledge and approbation of the two last mentioned gentlemen he had canvassed Coote, and offered him 30/. if he would vote for Alcock; that in pursuance of such offer he took Coote up to the poll, where he voted for Alcock, and Tilley then paid him 301., which he had received from Mr. Downes and Mr. Coppock for that especial purpose. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD expressed the surprise and in dignation that he felt at the attempt to punish the agent of the guilty principals in this transaction. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having recapitulated Tilley's evidence, the Jury, after two or three minutes' delibera tion, returned a verdict for the defendant. MIDLAND CIRCUIT- 7 DERnr, Aua. 6. CROWN COURT.— Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) James Hibbert, aged 30, and Aaron Hibbert, aged 26, were indicted for the wilful murder of William Coggin!, one of Sir George Sitwell's under-gamekeepers, on the night of the 20th of April last. The evidence adduced on the trial was substantially the same as the statements made in the spring, and as the facts are already known to our readers, a repetition of them now is needless. The trial lasted upv;ards of eleven hours, and imme diately upon the conclusion of the Learned Judge's sum ming up of the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. .5 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. George _Rieke King, a clerk in the Inland-office of the General Post-office, who was charged on Tuesday with stealing a letter containing 181., was yesterday brought up for final examination. Mr. Peacock conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Hobler appeared for the defence. Mr. Francis Niffin, tailor and draper, of Market Bosworth, Leicestershire, proved that on the 3d instant his son wrote and directed the letter produced to Messrs. Payne and Co., bankers, Lombard-street, containing a 101. bill, a 51. bill of country banks, three sovereigns, and one shilling, which witness sealed and took to the post-office about three o'clock in the afternoon. Richard Craddoecc,a constable attached to - the Post office, proved that when he searched the prisoner a se cond time at the Court on Tuesday, he found nothing relating to the charge. After he had carefully searched every part of his dress, the prisoner asked him if he was satisfied that he bad nothing about him, and upon his saying " Yes," the prisoner said, " I'm d-d if you know if I havn't got it now, but I wish to God I had." Mr. Hobler observed, that however foolish such lan guage might be, it could form no part of the charge, and ought not to be admitted in evidence. Mr. Peacock considered it a justice aue to the pri soner to offer all the evidence he could procure, that he might not be taken by surprise on the trial. Mr. HALL thought that such an observation might, or might not, have some effect on the jury, but it would be too much to conclude that it had no bearing upon the case. The former evidence was then read over, and the prisoner having declined saying anything in his defence, be was fully committed for trial. • In the course of the day the prisoner's father, who had held a commission in the army, and lost his right leg in the service of his country, was allowed a private interview with him previous to his being placed at the bar.

The brig F o ur' Sisters, Carty reaching that port that they had neglected to carry' their an chor with them. Acco r dingly, on Friday, the master, Barron, in company w ith hi s b ro th er an d two other lads, left Garlies ton in the small boat, with the intention of proceeding to their former station (Carty) to recover the anchor. In ascending the Cree, it was found that the boat had become very leaky, and at the same time one of the thowl or oar p ins gave way. On arriving at the Ferry-house, one of the men landed to pro cure a fresh pin, and on t u rning round observed the boat la bouring so much, that he called on his friends to quit instantly as they valued their lives. But this advice they unfortunately disregarded. From whatever cause, the leak had increased to such a pitch, that the boat all but filled, and sunk so suddenly, that before assistance could be rendered, the master, his bro. I her, and a youth named M'Aulay. from Newton-Stewart, after struggling disappeared. Up to Saturday afternoon only one o f the bodies had been found—that of the master's brother.— Dumfries Courier. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—In refer ence to our immediate neighbourhood (Inverness) we inay say that the weather has been propitio us. A friend writing us from Dumfries says, " The weather here bas been particularly fine—sunny and dry. The crops have begun to colour, and there is every appearance of an abundant harvest. We are sorry that we cannot. in truth chronicle as much regarding the north. A correspondent at Fort -William ( a nd w e believe his remarks will apply to places much beyond his neighbourhood) writes, " The weather still continues cold, but all the crops look well, ex ce pt th e p o tato, which wa s never in this , country so backward as at thi s a d van ced period of the season. We have had several showers of rain daring the past week, but we have also had a good deal of sunshine. To-day (Tuesday) is very warm and sultry, but we still observe watery clouds creeping on the hills of Ross-shire. We have no desire to prophecy, espe cially when our forebodings are evil, bu t we fear more rain is impending. The gr ee n crop is still in good condition, but in great , peril.—lnverness Courier. CoaN-LAws.—Have von any Corn-law re pealers left among you? Or have th e y eva p orated w ith almost evorything th a t is healthy in politics ? If they still exist, be so good as direct their ati.ention to Lord Melbourne's reply to the . application to h ave c ounsel heard at the bar of the House of . Lords against th e " Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenu es Bill." His Lordship said, "He would not object to hearing counsel against the Bill; although the Bill, strictly speaking, did not come within th e rules applicable t o those measur es on which counsel were entitled to be heard." The application of the Corn-law repealers to be heard by counsel at the bars of the two Houses of P ar li ame nt, was rejected on a point of form. The same point of form is valid against the application of the Clergy, but the objection is waived. Why is such different measure meted to two bodies of applicants ? Because the Church has sonic party,votes in the House of Lords, and has great influence in country elections. When the Corn-law re ralers make themselves felt in elections, they will be treated with common ciiriltty 'in Parliament, and not till thri,=—Private Correspondence of the Edinlnirgh Chronicle.

Yesterday the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Shareholders and Prep ietors of the London and Bir mingham Railway took place at the Euston Hotel, Euston-grove ; GEORGE CARR GLYNN, Esq., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN observed that before the Report was read he wished to call the attention of the meeting to two important Reports, made by a Parliamentary Committee during the present Session, in reference to Railway Communication. The first was recommending a Bill for the better promoting the comfort of passen gers. To this there could be no objection : but the second referred to the mode of levy upon passengers, and might be of serious consequence to proprietors in Railway undertakings. The Directors had therefore felt it their duty to watch, with a view to opposition, any measure brought in founded on that Report. He would urge upon the Proprietors not to be led away by erroneous ideas from the immense increase of traffic on the line, as a large amount of the capital raised on the 321. shares would still have to go, till the middle of the year 1842, in paying interest on loans, after which period the Company would be in receipt of an additional 35,0001. per year. Mr. CREED, the Secretary, read the report, which showed that additional calls had been made, increasing the capital of the Company by the sum of 250,000/., which had been expended principally in the improve ment of stations, the manufacture of additional en gines, carriages, trucks, &c., consequent on the increased traffic on the line—making their total capital amount to the sum of 5,698,37.5/. 4s. 7d. There had been a de ficit in the passenger receipts of the present half-year, as compared with that of the preceding one, of 206/., and an increase over the corresponding half-year of 1839 of 73,6551., making a general improvement in pas senger receipts of 171 per cent. The Directors were prepared to declare a dividend of 4/. per 100/. share ; but, in order to complete such dividend, they had been obliged to fall back upon a portion of the reserved fund of 57,0001. The Directors had determined on esta blishing a third class train between London and Bir mingham, the fare to be 145., and in proportion at the intermediate stations ; and they bad the satisfaction of stating that the branch line between Leamington and Coventry was fast advancing, which, as a tributary line to the London and Birmingham, would be of great ad vantage. _ _ _ The Report was unanimously adopted, and, after some other business of little importance had been trans acted, the meeting separated. THE PUSS YITES. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Wiltshire Independent circumstance which lately took place in this town seems to deserve notice. A reverend gentleman, whose conduct as a man and a clergyman has obtained from the inhabitants a large portion of esteem and deference, in a very eloquent and impressive discourse, inveighed with great energy against those doctrines which, as he said, " are embodied in the Oxford Tracts for the Times ;" and deprecated in very forcible language the adoption of such sentiments by the members of the Established Church. Yet it is also well known that the very congregation to which these opi nions and arguments were addressed, is occasionally made to hear a defence of the doctrines of Puseyism, and from the same pulpit. What a state of things is here—Puseyites and their opponents nurtured, authorised, sanctioned, by the same ecclesiastical power, both claiming Divine authority by virtue of ordination from the successor of the Apostles —both assuming to have been recipients of the Holy Ghost, yet i❑ palpable and utter discord, not about the form or colour of sacerdotal vestments, but about the means by which a sinner is to obtain pardon of his sins, and reconciliation with his Creator. This is a schism indeed, before which all other schisms and heresies fade into comparative insignificance, a schism rending in twain the . Church—nay, the religion of the Church, rending to its very foundation Christia nity itself. All the bitterest sarcasms to which scofers have given utterance, are empty and unmeaning sounds in compa rison with this plain and undeniable fact.

In this happy se curity in their tenure we discover one of the main causes of the superior cultivation and prosperous condition of the te nantry upon the estate of Holkham. " Forty years ago, at the tea-port of Wells, .not far from Holkham, not less than 10,000 quarters of wheat were annually imported for the sup ply of the neighbourhood. But now,' from the great improve ments of Lord Leicester on his estates, the same little port exports•2o,ooo quarters of -wheat, though the population has perhaps doubled, or more than doubled, in that period".

S (Yu/al.—The West India raw Sugar market has ex hibited a dull appearance throughout the week, both the grocers and refiners showing a disinclination to purchase except at reduced prices, which the merchants do not seem disposed to submit to, and the sales are confined to small lots,—sufficient to cover the wants of the buyers—from the limited business done however, and the extreme firmness of the merchants we cannot quote a decline upon the rates of last week of more than 6d to Is per cwt, though in some instances easier purchases have been made; good brown Jamaica has brought 806 6d, and low middling and mid dling do 81s 6d to 82s 6d per cwt. There was very little demand for Raw Sugar to-day, and the market was extremely flat, the sales being only 100 hhds and trcs, but in prices no further change took place. The estimated purchases for the week are under 400 hhds and tics. I ZEFINED.—Prices of all descriptions of refined goods have declined about is per cwt since this day se'onight ; standard lumps 108 s per cwt. Double crushed is to be had at 345, and Hamburgh loaves at 37s to 39s for 14 and 10 lbs. Treacle rather lower. Several sales have been made in Dutch crushed Sugar at 31s 3d on board in Am sterdam, and at 32s 9d on board here. MA URM us.—ln the absence of public sales the market has been in a very quiet state, there being no disposition to realise, while the buyers hold back as much as possible, consequently prices are in a perfectly nominal state. EAST INDIA.—The pikes of white Bengal remain the same as at the close of last week, very low damp brown at public sale 67s 6d to 69s 61 per cwt. Siam and Java are not inquired after for export, and the refiners do not continue their purchases, consequently the market has been flat, and in the absence of public sales nothing has been done, but prices remain firm. This afternoon there was little business doing in Bengal privately, and one small parcel only was offered by the hammer, which consisted of •?26 bags, and sold at 83a to &is for yellow to good white, being about Is under pre vious prices. . _ FOREIGN. —There is nothing new to report in this mar ket ; the refiners arc now not purchasers, and the shippers refuse to give anything like the rates demanded, there fore we are without transactions, but the holders are firm, and very few parcels are offering. Since this day week the arrivals have been large, consisting of 4,300 boxes 290 hhds Ilavannah, and 490 hhds Porto Rico. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—For this article the demand continues limited, but the holders, from the small :took here, do not seem disposed to give way io price, and the small parcels sold have brought previous rates. COFFEE.—The prices of West ledia and Ceylon Coffee, owing to the withdrawal of the Customs' Duties Bill, have (as was anticipated) suffered a decline of 3s to 5s per cwt, and in some cases even more, and at which the trade have shown very little desire to purchase, sequently we have had a dull heavy market ; Jamaica, low middling and middling at 1063 to 117 s, good and fine fine erd at 80s to 105 s, and Ceylon good to fine ord at 84s 6d to 88s, will a similar portion of very fine at 106 s 6d per cwt. Java and other sorts subject to the duty of 9d per lb, rather higher than last week. There was little demand for Coffee for borne cons i:n tion this afternoon, and being only one public sal 4 the market was very quiet, but without a disposition o ► the part of the merchants to press sales. 430 bags Java were bought in at extreme rates. Cocoa.--In some cases a slight advance has been IY:id. Trinidad good grey at 51s 6d to 535, and fine to good red at 5.2 s to 53s 6d per cwt, Tau.° N.—Since Monday, prices have declined about 6cl per cwt; the price of P. Y. C. of fine quality has de clined to 523 per eat on the spot, at which there arc further sellers. New Tallow has fallen to 525, deliverable in the last three months of the year. This afternoon the prices of tallow were again a shade lower, without any improvement in the demand. P. YC. on the spot 5 ts 9d to 52s .and to arrive 51s 6d per cat. SPICES.—To-day the Spice-market generally was quiet, there king few inquiries after any article except Pepper, which would still be taken freely at 3i , d, but without find ing sellers. At a public sale of 322 bags East India G.nger there was little demand, but the holders were firm, and bought in the whole at 19s 6d for middling Bengal, and at 17s for fair Malabar. OlLs.—The demand for all common sorts of fish oils continues, both for home use and exportation at full, and in some cases, rather advanced prices ; pule Seal 29/ 103, and Southern 24110 s Jo 25/ 16s per tun, Sperm 96/ to 961 1 Os fine quality. In Linseed oil, both on the spot and to arrive, 29s 6d to 29s 9d per cwt. Rape oil 39s 6d per cwt. This afternoon the prices of Southern oil were very firmly supported, and 260 tuns offered by public auction were disposed of, low to fine quality from 241 to 261 103 per cwt. Rice.—The demand fur E. I. descriptions continues dull and prices still appear drooping, Madras sort is Is lower' Bengal at I3i 6d to 14s 6d for good fair and good white; 1,950 bags Siam and Java were principally bought in, the latter at Ils to 12s for good mid white, and at lOs for low mixed paddy; 1,300 bags Madras sold at 9s to lOs for low and mid yellow. This afternoon 934 bags Bengal were brought to aue tion and partly disposed of at 13s to 14s 6d for mid to good white, being the former value. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The prices of Rum continue to be supported with great firmness, and the de mand is steady ; all descriptions have brought last wee" rates, except the choice and high flavoured sorts, which are Id per gallon dearer. The sales of the week are about 250 puns Jamaica and about 300 puns Leewards • the former 25 to 35 per vent over-proof at Os Id to 6s itlt 3 , 6 to 38 over Os 10d a 7s, with superior marks at 7s ld a 7st and the Leziwards, proofs to 8 over at 3s Sd a 4s 9d, to I° over 4s ld a4s Bd, 20 to 28 over 4s 10d ass 6d, and 30 to 40 over 5s Bcl a6s Id per gallon. Brandy has I' o '9' tabled the prices quoted in our last.—For Geneva litt le change can be quoted in prices.—British Corn Spir its lOs 3d per gallon. TEA.—At the public sales which took place on Wall and Tuesday last there was a large attendance of th e trade, amongst whom were several influential dealers from the country ; the sales opened with a strong desire 05 the part of the trade to purchase, and throughout,' the biddings were brisk, particularly for black a e , the better descriptions of green ; of 13,500 packag" offered, 10,000 were readily disposed of for actual e° s ' surnption at the following advance on the last auction" viz., oil Congou qd to 2d; Twankay 14d a 2d; HSI 2}d to 3d ; Imperial and Gunpowder 3d ; and on nearly ether descriptions Id to 2d per lb; the remainder W ite bought in much above market rates. The following are the prices actually paid.

Since the conclusion of the above sales, advice' bs f been received from China, which not being of a decided el, satisfactory character, affairs being still in the same st e t , as when the previous accounts left, and ships continui n g get Tea, the market was iu a very dull state throug l l % Wednesday, the trade being somewhat fearful of ho ld ' too large stocks, and in consequence prices were depr egi o for most descriptions of Tea; at the same time Z ip holders were not disposed to press sales, and but little op siness was done ; Company's Congou on that day m o , tuated between 2s lid and 2s 1/cl per lb cash, On The, $ day, however, confidence was in some degree restoreticso fair business was done in free trade descriptions, and a l ert , nearly recovered the depression of the previous day.
