THE R,ESUL. From the Times.) LECTIONS. The appeal to the people has been answered with a force and distinctness beyond our anticipations —we may even say our wishes. A mild rebuke and moderate discouragement were the utmost that we hoped or desired for a policy which was rather fac tious and mischievous than wholly unprincipled, and we certainly did not expect the signal retribu tion which has fallen on the heads of its authors. The League has disappeared from Parlia,ment. Cobden has been beaten by 246 votes at Hudders field • Bright and Milner Gib s on by from 2,000 to 3,000 votes at Manchester ; Armitage is beaten at Salford by a Ministerial stranger only two or three days in the field ; Walmsley is thrown out at Lei cester, and, nearer home, at the Tower Hamlets, we lose the familiar name of Sir W. Clay. Layard loses his seat at Aylesbury, and Sir F. Baring has Scarcely saved his at Portsmo ;CO which he has re presented for 25 years. Mr. Gladstone loses the noisy support of Mr. Phillimore, who has been paired out with his brother, and, for the present at least, the quieter vote of Sir S. Northcote. On the other side are two remarkable casualties. Mr. F. Peel has been beaten at Bury, and Admiral Ber keley, First Naval Lord, has been turned out of his seat at Gloucester by Sir R. W. Carden. Among the new members, the return of Coning barn for Brighton counts at least one against the loss of some strong Liberals elsewhere, and King lake at Bridgewater is compensation for the loss of Layard. The results of two severe struggles may be set off one against the other. Lord J. Russell has come in third on the poll in the City, throwing out his antagonist, Mr. Raikes Currie ; and Mr. Bernal Osborne brought in his colleague with him self against a powerful opposition at Dover. Lord John Russell owes his return partly to the Tories and partly to the grateful exertions of the commu nity whose political rights he has advocated with so much perseverance and so little success, but whose claims cannot be again postponed after the reite rated decision of the constituency in their favour. Such are some of the incidents of only half the general election. The Ministerial gain already is over 20, and more may confidently be expected from the counties and other constituencies yet to declare themselves. The moral of all this is very plain. The British people do not like dictation. They will not be de liberately negotiated and sold by a coalition. 'I hey will not be tripped up by a sudden and unforeseen combination. They will not be snugly disposed of by associations, or made the vulgar bondsmen of a league. It is against tyrannies of the latter sort that the constituencies both of London and Manchester have successfully revolted. You have only to prove to an Englishman that he has been superseded in the exercise of his conscience, his judgment, or his political rights, by some people who think them selves wiser and better than he is, and he is sure to rise in insurrecti on . B u t w h a t he hates the most is hypocrisy, organised or not. He will not sell his conscience at a moment's warning to any set of gentlemen who may want a better warranty than their own for a convenient opinion, an extempore principle, or a factious censure. In this instance the whole British people were suddenly called on to censure, not only the conduct of a British Plenipo tentiary under most difficult circumstances and in a course utterlyimpossible to be retraced, but, what was more absurd still, the conduct of her Majesty's Government, for not condemning and repudiating what it is admitted on all sides they must, good or bad, follow up. These self-constituted guardians of public morality, finding England involved, through her agents as they chose to think, in a national sin, of which they fully intended not only to share, but, if possible, to monopolise the fruits, conceived the splendid idea of making the Government the scapegoat, and then stepping in themselves, to reap with a clean conscience the harvest of crime. Nobody at home could prevent, or even remedy, what had been done. Nobody even suggested the idea of making amends. The most obstreperous conscience-mongers did not ; dare to whisper resti tution. It was assumed on all sides, by the most sanctimonious as well as by the least pretending, that, be the beginning bad or good, we must go on with it. But these traffickers in conscience, these buyers and sellers of public morality, and hucksters of national reputation, thought it would be a pro fitable day's work if they could stigmatise what they had not the least thought of revoking, and so blast the character of th e i r own country before ell the world, for the sake of damaeing the position of their political rivals. Now, this is precisely what the English do not choose to do, or to have done for them. They will not hold their consciences at the bidding of political speculators. They admit themselves to be fallible ; they may be seduced into erroneous judgments ; they are addicted to various fanaticisma of a religious and self-damaging character, but they will not be the ready sl aves o f a gainful hypocrisy; they will not suddenly pre sent themselves like a stage troop of devotees, to shriek, in the words of a master, some morbid sen timent or some frantic objurgation. They will think and feel for themselves. They will, too, be both just and consistent. They will not save themselves by heaping criminality on others not less innocent ; nor do they think so lightly and conveniently of a grave moral censure as to pro nounce it and set it at nought at one and the same time. The most decisive replies to this grand appeal come from the more commercial part of the empire. It is in its own birthplace that the League has been extinguished. How is this ? If wo might venture to interpret the voice of the people, they feel very much about this Chinese affair as one of our highest commercial author:ties, ant a man of undoub ed honour, has expressed himself. The opiniOn of Baron Rothschild is entitled to all the more weight as it is given freely, and not extorted by political pressure. "He had been asked," he said in Guildhall on Friday, " how he would have voted on the China question. Ncw, as a commercial man, he would state, without entering int) the merits or the details of the question, that he should unhesitatingly have voted with Government. The Government ought to avoid every occasion for plunging the country unnecessarily into the miseries of war ; but as a commercial man he thought it well for the principal to confirm the acts and contracts which his agents were empowered to enter into and had a right to make. He knew the disadvantage that lents laboured under when the confirmation of their acts was doubted, and the effect which that doubt and uncertainty would have in the negotiation of other great questions." This is a common-sense, and, as we believe, an un answerable, view of the case. It is necesary that we should have Plenipotentiaries with the fullest powers, and naval and military officers to co operate with them, for the preservation of our great interests and rights in those dis tant regions. Of course for the selection of these Plenipotentiaries the Governments at. home are seriously responsible ; but, unless the case he very strong indeed against them, we must adopt their acts, or otherwise we shall never get men of real honour and competent ability to accept such a position or do their duty in it. In this instance all sides are agreed to adopt the acts of our Plenipo tentiary ; nor is there any other possible course. The only difference is one which, if it is no differ ence as regards the present question, is a most tre mendous difference as regards the national character and the future position of British Plenipoten tiaries in distant regions, surrounded by difficul ties, and in the face of cruel and treacherous foes. The difference we allude to is simply this :—While Lord Palinerston's Government takes the regular course of simply backing without censure proceed ings which it sees no reason to tonsure, the Oppo sition were for censuring by word, but backing up in deed ; for disclaiming the author, but essuming his work ; denouncing the seed, but gathering in the crop. Hypocrisy of this sort is not only mean ness. In the East it would be well understood ; for it is the way of tlie worst plotters and sit 14,0hrners to accept the del and disown the doer. attempt now defeated by the people of Eng land is a not a bl e i mprovement on this very stale hypocrisy, It aimed to procure not the commission of a crime, but the ire utation of one • and so ob tain not onl y the spoilPs of the alleged victim, but also the place of the alleged criminal. COLLIERS AND CANnta ts. —Like other men, miners have opinions and prejud . ic s ; in their own calling, they take them from their masters and their overtmkers, Masters continue y'2ar after year to build cottages with the wants of health ; they know, j ega are broken by tho noel out due attentum the shaft moreover, that arms and , dental fall of stones mon _descend neverthsless, they do not prop?rlY face Protect the true c,untpas3ion pit mouth.

Layard 546 501 439 The official proclamation was made on the steps of the County-hall, immediately after the termination of the polling. The two successful candidates having briefly returned thanks ' Mr. LAYARD came forward and said,—Gentlemen, — It now becomes my duty to take leave of you, and to thank you for the support which you have given me on past occasions, and the confidence with which you have honoured me during the last five years. I have also to thank those who have supported me, though unsucce,s fully, I am sorry to say ; but if I was to lose your confi dence, and any one was to be placed in my stead, you could not have chosen a better, a more trustworthy mar, or one more worthy of your confidence than Mr. Ber nard. Without making any personal observations, as the defeated candidate I may be allowed to express my opinion as to the reasons which have led to the result of this election. I attribute the return of my friend, Mr. Bernard, whose principles are Conservative, to two causes--first, to the fatal move made by Lord Palmer. ston. I was always of opinion that the course taken by Lord Palmerston would lead to the triumph of Tory principles in many parts of England. The reports to day from many boroughs in this kingdom show that these apprehensions were well founded. Ia many parts a Liberal has been sacrificed to a Tory, because a man whose heart is at enmity with all liberal principles will not fail to sacrifice a Liberal member. I do not often agree with Mr. Disraeli, bat I do agree with him when he said that Lord Palmerston is the Tory chief of a Radical Cabinet. I much fear the re sult will have a tad effect on the political state of the country until we have a new Parliament. I know my friend, Mr. Bernard, has taken a (vantage of the cry for Lord Palmerston, and he is perfectly right. Ido not believe he would support Lord Palmerston if he brings forward liberal measures, but he will support him be cause he will bring forward measures in accordance with his own Conservative opinions. Mr. Lavard, in con clusion, complained bitterly of undue influence having been brought to bear upon the electors. BANBURY. Tancred Yates ... 260 ... 58 BER WICK. Stapleton .

The candidates were four in num ber :—Dr. Michell, one of the late members; Mr. Wyld, who represented the borough previous to 1852 ; the Hon. Captain Vivian, and Mr. J. Harvey Lewis. Dr. MICHELL said he was a Liberal, and an indepen dent supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government, with which he had voted in the division on the China gees tion. He referred to his constant attendance at the House, having voted since returned in 1852 in 720 divi sions. He was in favour of a more equitable adjustment of the income tax; was opposed to the grant to Maynootb, and to the voting of public money for the religious teaching of any particular sect, or for any local improve ment ; would vote for the ballot carried out in the same way as in America, France, or Bslgium, and was a strenuous advocate of administrative reform. Mr. WILD, although he deprecated the great powers now vested in our commanders abroad, was a supporter of Lord Palmerston. He opposed the application of the State money to any particular sect ; was in favour of administrative reform, of vote by ballot, and of a sys tem of education based on the Scriptures —voluntary as far as possible, but carried out where necessary by the State. Captain VIVIAN was also an Administrative Reformer and a Liberal. He was a strenuous supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government, and was stroowly opposed in feeling to Mr. Gladstone and the Tractarian party. He was in favour of the application of public money to those great improvements essential to the health of the poorer classes. Mr. Lawns was also strongly in favour of Lord Pal- merston, not only for his foreign policy, but his Protee tent tendencies, which had been well indicated by his late appointment of bishops. He wag a warm advocate of the ballot, and of national education ; was opposed to the Maynooth grant or any other of the kind, and shout support a more equitable adjustment of the income tax The show of bands was deolared to be in favour of Mr Lewis and Mr. Wyld. A poll was demanded on behal of the other candidates. CLOSE OF TRB POLL. Captain Vivien Mr. Wyld • Dr. Michell Mr. Lewis •-• ••• ... 244 --• ••• ... 1,0 ... ... •.• 16) ... ... ••• 31 BOLTON.

He was, in the first plac , ., bound to return his sincere and heartfelt thanks to those freemen and electors who, un invited, and also unflattered by him, had placed him in the proud position which he then occupied, and then, perhaps, he might be allowed to address a few words to his late opponents, and that was to say that for the can didates who had been opposed to him he bad long felt nothing but respect, and, in one instance, friendship. He hoped that during the contest he had made no enemies. If he had it would be odd, for if it was the part of Joe Miller to raise a smile the arrows that shot from that bow had no barb. (Hear, and laughter.) Those gentlemen who had been so constant from first to last in opposing him—he meant the melodious gentle. men below—(a laugh) —would find that he had an ear to listen even to their complaints, and a heart not deaf to any claim that might be made, and as long as he pos sessed the energy and spirit he at present did possess he should never tire in speaking of their cause. Sir W. RUSSELL also returned thanks. After some observations from Sir G. CLERK and Mr. Hors, _ _ A vote of thanks to the Mayor, moved and seconded by the unsuccessful candidates, was carried by acclama tion, and, his worship having acknowledged the oomph ment, the proceedings terminated.

The Unddersfield contest has excited as much interest as that of any borough in the kingdom, and many of the electors gave their votes, not so much as an moressi m of their opinion as to whether Mr. Akroyd or Mr. Cobden would mike the , better member of the Legislature, but as a manifestation of their approval of the course pursued by Lord Palmerston's Government to uphold the honour of the British flag and the interests of this country in reference to the Chinese affair, and also in condemnation of the ♦iews of Mr. Cobden. The total number of electors on the register is 1,552, and it will b• seen that 1,420 have recorded their votes. The state of the poll was inquired after with great interest during the day throughout the whole of the West Rid ing, A. great many person■ went to Huddersfield from the surrounding towns and villages, and shortly before the close of the contest an immense crowd had assem bled in St. George's•square—tar larger than was present on the nomination-day. It is not ac over.estichated computation to say that there were not lee, than 30,000 people present.

Mr. James, in opening the case for the plaintiff, said she was a young lady, 28 or 29 years of age, and was the daughter of a late supervisor of excise, residing at Bromborough, in the county of Chester. At her father's death, in 1853, she went to reside with Mrs. Jones, landlady of the Sportsman's Arms public-house at Bromborougb. The defendant was a rope manufacturer, but retired from business, re siding at New Ferry, and being in the habit of call ing at the Sportsman's Arms he had been smitten with the charms of the plaintiff, to whom he com menced paying his addresses in March last year, often walking out with her, and showing her the general attention of a lover, this being approved of by her brother and friends. Affairs proceeded in such a satisfactory manner with the lovers that in the month of May he bought the wedding ring, and in the presence of her brother and several friends announced the forthcoming marriage, which was to take place on 31st July. The dresses were bought, the marriage license was procured, a house was exa mined in order to be' repaired as the future abode of the happy couple, the wedding breakfast was or dered, and every preparation made for the auspici ous event, when, at the last moment, the defendant altered his mind. On the evening of July 30—the night before the intended marriage —he sent his so licitor to the plaintiff to inform her that he had changed his mind. The wedding being thus so suddenly and strangelypre vented, the brother called upon the defendant to inquire the reasons for such unaccountable .conduct, but the only answer he could get was, that though he loved his sister Maria very dearly, he had heard that of her cha racter which induced him to break it off, for he was sure they could never be happy after what he had heard. He would not further explain himself, nor give up the authors of his information ; but from this time, said the learned counsel, he continued to promulgate the most atrocious slanders respect ing the lady, until, on the of Nov. last, the plain tiff's attorney sent him a letter, threatening that if he did not retract the calumnies an action would be commenced against himfor slander, in addition to the present action for breach of promise. These calum nies were without the slightest foundation what ever ; and he (Mr. James) dared him to come into court and repeat the aspersions he had cast upon her. The learned counsel concluded his address by' an eloquent appeal to the jury to give such ample damages as would, in some measure, compensate the plaintiff for the wanton injuries inflicted upon her. Thos. Jas. Hutchinson examined—He was the brother of the plaintiff, and an architect, residing at Birkenhead. He knew. the defendant, who was living at Brornborough, retired from business. On' the 3d of March, 1856, the defendant came to wit ness's house at Birkenhead 'in company with his sister. He often saw them together after that. On the 15th of May they were at tea at his house, and the defendant said, " Well, Tom, I've made sure of your sister Maria." Witness said, "In what way ?" Defendant said to his sister, " Show Tom what I've been purchasing," and she produced the wed ding ring, he saying, "Now, if she should run in, I shall have an' action for breach of promise." (Laughter.) Another day witness went to Bebing ton with the defendant to look at some property— a farm house and land, the value of which he should estimate at about 2,0001. Defendant asked his opinion respecting the value of the land, as he in tended turning it into building land, by which he thought ke could make it worth 4,0001. Witness afterwards visited Bebington churchyard, where defendant pointed out his daughter's grave, saying, if, after their marr i age , h i s w i fe should die first, ho' should bury her there. (A laugh.) At another time, when they came to - take tea at witness's house defendant sa id, " Come, take off your bonnet, Mrs. Conroy." She answered, "I am not Mrs. Conroy." He then said, " Well, if you are not that now, you will very soon be so, Mrs. Conroy, or there will bean action. for: breach." On the 27th of Juue the wife of witness asked him when the marriage was to take place,. and he said, "I have told Maria, and I dare say she has told you," afterwards mentioning the 31st of July as the happy day. On the 28th, three days before the intended marriage, defendant came to witness with two wedding waistcoats to be made up forthwith. In the evening of the same day he went to Liverpool with him to the Surrogate's to procure the marriage license, and afterwards to his house at New Ferry. At 10 o'clock, when witness was taking his leave, defendant said, "Give my love to Maria; tell her I shall be sure to be there on Wed nesday, but if not, Thursday, in tim e f or th e wed ding." Witness did not again see the defendant until the 2d, of . August, when he went to his house at New Ferry to ask the reason of his conduct. He said, "I love Maria dearly, but l've heard that of her character that if I had been married I should never have been happy." Witness then asked him to explain what it was, and at first he said he would. Witness then asked him to go to the parties who had told him, but he said, " No, I won't go." Witness then said he would know what it was, and defendant made answer, " I know lam i n y our power for wh a t I h ave done, and if it is money you want you shall have all I am worth." On the af ternoon of the same day he went to Mrs. Jones's, at Bromborougb, where ho again met the defen dant, who made use of the same expressions as he had done in the morning, still refusing t give the names of his informants unless compelled. The plaintiff had lived with Mrs. Jones since her father's death. Mrs. Jones was a widow, and had no daughter of her own. Cross-examined by Mr. Knowles.--Is that hand some waistcoat that I see you have on the wedding waistcoat spoken so much of ? Witness—l believe it is, sir. (Laughter.) Mr. Knowles—Oh,' it's come in at last, then. Witness, in continuation.—The defendant was about 50 years Of age. He ,was a widower, retired from the pursuit of making ropes. His sister was living at the Sportsman's Arms, not exactly as bar maid. Did not think it the fact when defendant called for his glass of gin-and-water she stirred it pretty strong, so that from being warm he got fud dled, and got from bad to worse, till at last be fell in love. Couli not say whether she had ever been engaged before ; knew she was not now. (Laughter.) It was 12 months ago since she was courted by a Mr. Ellis. It was on the 30th of March that he first heard of the engagement. When defendant said " Tom, I've made sure of your sister," his sister did not reply "Sartin sure"—(langhter)—but he (witness) thought they might have got married unknown to him, and therefore said "Inwhat way ?" (Laughter.). It was in May that defendant began to talk about 'breaches of promise." Was not aware that he had a mania for " breaches." The land at Bebington was about, nine acres ; defendant said he could make 4,0001. of it by building upon it. Had never seen him the 'worse for drink. When they visited the churchyard defendant said "I have not got my first wife there, but I hope to have my second with me:" (Laughter.) [Mr. Knowles. Then, contrary to the poet, who says " From grave to gay, drc.,, he went from gay to the g rave I] (Laughter.) 'Witness was a married man, and was not to be the groomsman ; he was to give his sister away. He thought the defendant could, but would not, tell who the parties were that circulated the rumours about his sister. Mrs. Sarah Jane Hutchinson, wife of the last witness, said, she had heard the evidence her hus band had given, and she could corroborate itin nearly every particular. She often saw the plain tiff and defendant together, and they appeared very loving and affectionate. He was not in the habi t !of getting drunk ; at least when she saw him. Re collected Mr. Conway, the defendant's solicitor, calling on the 30th of July—the night before the wedding-day. He said to.the plaintiff that the de fendant would not come, as he had altered his mind ; that she had better go and see him, and try to compromise the matter. By Mr. Knowles.--The plaintiff had told her re cently that she had heard that the defendant was dangerously ill. She (witness) had once said she thought it was a good thing that her sister-in-law had escaped the marriage ;•but it was after this ac tion was commenced. (Laughter.) Mrs. M ar y Jones said, she lived at Brornborent;l and kept a public-house there, called the Sports man's Arms. Had known th..3plaintiff all her life. She had been with her nearly 14 years, and had lived with tiler since her father's death, in 1853. She left in July in order to be married. Had often seen the defendant in company with the plaintiff at her house, and he seemed very fond of her. Plaintiff stopped with her as a companion, not as a barmaid, and was not paid wages like a barmaid. Cross-examined by Mr. Knowles—She occasion ally assisted in the bar, and witness often made her presents. Had known Mr. Conroy about two years. He often came in to have a drop at the bar. Plaintiff did not always mix him his gin and-water, nor did the plaintiff "stir it up strong for him." (Laughter.) She was a widow herself, and of course knew all about love affairs. (Con tinued laughter.) Re-examined by Mr. James—There is no foun dation for the supposition th a t a ll the love-making Cross-examined by Mr. Knowles—He keeps one servant. Did-not know that the land at Bebing ton was mortiaged. Xark Lowe said he was a servant of the defen dant, who rented a shop in the London-road, at 401. a year. Cross-examined by Mr. Knowles—Did not know that the shop was mortgaged. Mr. James having summed up, Mr. Attorney-General Knowles addressed the jury for the defence. He said, his learned' friend had appealed to their feelings with regard to the alleged scandalous reports about the young lady, but he must remind them that it was not the de fendant who brought these slanders into that court—it was the plaintiff's own friends, and it was themselves alone they had to thank f6r the publicity then given to them. But to dispose of this romancing case as well as he could. Who were the parties The plaintiff was filling the very respectable situation of barmaid at the Sports man's Arms, and, although his learned friend had tried to conceal 'that fact, he (Mr. Knowles) did not think it a reproach. The defendant was a retired ropemaker—it would be much better if he never had. retired, apparently—and feeling lonely in his house at New Ferry had been induced to drop in at Mrs. Jones's for the comfort of a glass, and there he had been charmed with the barmaid, who mixed him his drop of gin-and-water, sweet ening it with the fascination of her manner, till at last, poor fellow, he fell in love, and then he begun to be under a " breaching" mania—though it would have been well for him never to have talked about " breaches" at all ; for it had come to pass in his individual case. It is really not wonderful that while the handsome barmaid was stirring up his glass he should have become fuddled, and be a little amorous, and so he fell into the temptation —though he had better have made a rope for him self. (Laughter.) The learned counsel drew atten tion to the shortness of the courtship, only four months, 'and said he was not so rich a man as the witness had represented ; and, as he was not there to deny the breach of the promise given, he could only say that he thought very light damages would bequite sufficient for the loss of four months' court ship. His Lordship, in summing up, said, it did ap pear a very heartless thing to send a lawyer to break off the match, and that, too, almost at the very altar. There was certainly nothing brought for ward in the evidence against the character of the young woman showing sufficient reason for the breaking off of the marriage in such a wanton man ner. It was, evident that the marriage tiot taking place was a great loss to the plaintiff in a pecuniary point of view, besides the, injury done to her feel ings by the heartless conduct of the defendant. He thought she W'63 justly entitled to their verdict, and it would be for them to say what damages they thought she was entitled to. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 4001. The Criminal Court to-day has been occupied with the trial of two sailors, American citizens, for the manslaughter of a man named George, who was on board an American ship coming to this port. The case was not concluded when our despatch left. HOME CIRCITIT—KINGSTON, March 28. THE QUEEN V. HAWKINS AND OTHERS. This was an indictment preferred by the Corpo ration of the City of London against the defendant, Mr. Hawkins, who is the chairman, and other re oponsible officers, of the London Gas Company, for a nuisance. Mr. E. James, Q.C. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Lu s h, and Mr. Sharpe appeared on behalf of the corpora tion to - conduct the prosecution ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Bushby appeared for the de fendants. Mr. E. James, in opening the case, said that the Corporation of the City of Lond o n hadi felt it their duty as conservators of the river Thames to insti tute the premtproceedings against the defendants, in order to put a stop to a nuisance of the most serious character, and one • that was calculated most materially to affect the lives and health of the public. The defendants represented the London Gas-works; and.they had a large establishment at Vauxhall ; aud, what was complained of them was, that they caused the refuse matter from the gas to be thrown into the river opposite their works. He need hardly inform the jury that the gas refuse was of the most disgusting description. it was known by persons connected with the trade by the cogno men of "blue billy," and it appeared that it evolved a gas known among scientific persons as " sulphu retted hydrogen," which; he believed, was the most deleterious to human 'life, and of the most offen sive character. The defendants appeared to be perfectly well aware that they had.no right to dis pose of the refuse from the works in this manner, as they adopted a very ingenious proceeding with a view to prevent it from being known that the of fensive matter came from their works, and instead of casting it into the river openly, they contrived by means of a six-inch iron pipe to convey the re fuse matter into the middle of the river, where it was cast out by means of a 'steam engine, and mixed with the water. The city authorities, however; were not to be so easily deceived, and, suspecting that there was something wrong about the use of this pipe, they sent a barge with hose and attached the hose to the pipe ;' the barge was moored near the spot, and the persons employed for the purpose quietly awaited the result. They bad not remained long, however, before the operation commenced, and the refuse, of course, instead of going into the river, came into the barge ; and it was then directly seen what had been going on, and the present prosecu tion was the result; the object of the corporation being, of course, only to abate what they considered to be a very dangerous nuisance. Mr. Sergeant BALLANTINE, when Mr. James had concluded, addressed the Court, and said that - diet e was no desire on the part of the company whom he had the honour to represent to oppose the present proceeding, which he admitted was a very proper one, with a view to prevent the pollution of the river ; and the company were ready to do all in their power to effect the object. He begged at the same time to state' that, although the defendant, Mr. Hawkins, was no doubt legally responsible in his po sition as chairman of the company, yet that he was known as a gentleman of high respectability and a member of their profession, and he knew 'nothing whatever of the proceeding complained of, and the moment it was brought to his knowledge, he ordered it to be discontinued. The company were now making arrangements to remove all their refuse matter to_ a distance, and had incurred great expense with that object, and were ready to do everything that was necessary to effect it. A plea of " guilty" might, therefore, be taken as to some of the defendants, and they would enter into any recognizances that might be required as a security that the nuisance complained of should be discontinued. Mi'. James consented to this course on the part of the corporation, and a plea of " Guilty" was ac cordingly taken against the chairman and the engi neer of the company, and recognizauces were entered into by 'them for carrying out the objec . of the prosecution. This case concluded the business of the assizes LIVERPOOL, March 28.—The British and North American mail steam-ship Niagara sailed hence to-day for Boston, with 74 passengers and a full cargo. REDUCTION OF POSTAGE ON LETTERS TO THE ISLAND OF ASCENSION.—On and from the let April next, the postage upon letters conveyed either by packet or by private ship, between the United Kingdom and Ascen sion, will be reduced to an uniform rate of—For a letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight, 6d. ; ditto, exceeding half an ounce, and not exceeding one ounce, ls. ; ditto, exceeding one ounce, add not exceeding two ounces, 2s. ; and so on, increasing one shilling for every additional ounce, or fraction of an ounce. The postage of letters to Ascension must, in all cases, be paid in , advance. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—,Iane Hallett, of Whitty Head near Netherbuiy, Dorset, suffered for many years from s bad leg. From the knee to the ancle it had several wounds, so that she was unable to stand or move about the house. She tried a variety of means and applica tions, but without obtaining a cure. .By the blessing o God and using only three pots of Poor Man's Friend, and taking ,three boxes of pills, she was perfectly cured. Dr. Roberts's Poor Man's Friend, for wounds and erup tions of every description, is sold in pots, is. lid. and 2s. 9d. each.

Mr. Ellis, farmer, of Bromborougb, bad known the plaintiff for the last 20 years, and the defen dant for the last four years. In June, 1854, wit ness attended a sale in Chester, where the defen dant purchased several lots of land, situate at Bebington. Thought he paid otit about 1,50u1. or 1,6001. for them. BeFeved the defendant to be in good circumstances, and he was apparently well off. , The Commissioners of Patents have just issued an epitome of the specifications enr , lled from the earliest period to the present time, with reference to the manufacture of iron and - steel, which to in ventors, and the industrial world generally, will be of infinite value. The amount of money lost by the re-patenting of inventions must have been enor mous, and. to the poorer class of inventors a source of the greatest annoyance and disappoint ment. The first patent appears to be that of Simon Sturtevant, in 1612, which was to con tinue in force for 31 years (this was about the first attempt to introduce the me of raw coal in smelting iron in place of charcoal, which at that time was becoming scarce in England), and in ac cordance with the conditions of the patent he published a description of his discoVeries in his " lifetallica." His process, however, appears to have failed ou a large scale, and he surrendered his patent in the following year. The second was John Stevenson in 1612, who also pub= fished a " Metallica," and likewise surrendered his patent, as did several other inventors. In 1621 Lord Dudley obtained his patent, of which an account is given by his son, Dud Dudley, in his " Metallum Maras (these three treatises have recently been reprinted by Thonias Simpson, of Wolverhampton, and are published at about 7s. 6d.) Lord Dudley was enabled to make 3 tons per week, which was then considered extraordinary. After a period of more than 150 years, we corns to the inventions o f-H enry C ort, for puddling and rolling, which appears to be the next practical im provements (1783 and 1784), and we may then proceed without much interruption until we reach 1817, when the specification of Athony Hill shows that a process slightly analo gous to, although not sufficiently so to injure, the claims of Bessem..r and Martien was tried at that time, but whilst the i nven t or cou ld . appreciate the value of allowing the iron• to be " blown or acted up on b y the air," be distinctly adds that the iron "must be made into bar-iron by puddling, reheating, and rolling, or by any other known means," thus proving that the idea of blow ing pig-iron into malleable iron is new, although • the blowing process itself is but a modification of an expired paten*. In 1828 we come to the invention of James B. Neilson, for introducing the hot-blast. In 1836 J. J. Hawkins invented the construction of the mouth , of the "blowing-pipe," so as to deliver the blast "in their sheets," instead of in a dense stream, PO , that the blast mi g ht p ossess a great sur f ace i n pro portion to its bulk, impart its oxygen immediately: to a large quantity of the ignited fuel, and also: avoid the chilling effect. In the same year George Crane introduced the hot-blast with anthracite ; in 1842 a somewhat similar inven tion but for using cold-blast, was invented by J. Palmer Budd, who employed a blast of at least 2i pounds pressure on the square inch. In 1838, Messrs. Bradley, Burrows, and Joseph Hall, in troduced "tap cinder" as a protection for the bot tom and sides of puddling-furnaces. In the same , year Charles Sanderson, of Sheffleld,_ patented his process for smelting at a low temperature, so as to dissolve the earthly particles of the ore without, melting the metal. The iron was never in a corn- • plete state of fusion. The iron, when separated:, from the scoria,,was removed with tongs, or in any , other convenient manner. In 1839 comes the important invention of Josiah Marshall Heath for the manufacture of .iron, and' which as regards steel was as great a stride in' the manufacture as Compared with any previous process as the process of Uchatius is at the; present time. The du ra ti on o f this patent was, after much litigation, prolonged, by an application to the Privy Council, for seven years. Although the principle of Heath's lir' vention had been previously described, and even as early as 1799 William Reynold patented , the employment of oxide of manganese. or manga nese' in the conversion of pig iron into malleablo• iron or steel, but gave no proportions or detail, it appears that until the introduction of Heath's patent no practical results were;arrived at. In 1839 there was a patent obtained for ig ob taining metal from pyrites or mundic by Joseph: Jennings, and as there can be n o d ou b t : th a t m uch good would result from a cheap process for treat-, ing inundic, attention might be advantageouslY given to the subject. In 1840 Sir J. J. Guest and Thomas Evans patented the introduction of steam into the refinery or puddling furnace, "forced upon or into, or in contact with the metal." Any, suitable means might be employed. The first .practical attempt at utilising the gases from iron furnaces appears to have been made by Robt. Gardner, in 1788, although John Payne, in 1728, referred to it in a vague manner. The next claimant was Moses Teague, in 1832, who proposed to use the flame and heated gas usually discharged into the open air, for heating the. charge before it was introduced into the furnace. The specification of Louis Nicholas de Mecketiheim, in 1842, is too long and , complicated to admit of a fair analysis, but the object was to utilise the superabundant gase*< cooled by blast or other furnaces, by the use of fur-, naces of improved construction, and receivers, torts,re arc. In 1843, A. M. P er ki ns paten t e d, the' use f highly-heated steam in place of the hot or: cold air-blast. The specifications enrolled sine° March, 1843, will form a separate series, and be re-- ferred to hereafter.—Mining Journal. Country Markets. HADDINGTON GRAIN MARKET-3denai 27. WHEAT.
