THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1887. in all the land, whether a Fund of 1,2001. per 1 annum, set aside for the encouragement of Art, Science, and Literature, ought or ought not to be restricted to recipients connected directly, or indi rectly, with Art, or Science, or Literature. Yet how has it been during the year past with reference to the 1,2001. nominally devoted to this express purpose of encouraging the cultivation of Art, Science, and Literature ? Why, that out of that I,2ool. —positively not less than 5501. [just 501. short of one entire moiety I) have been bestowed in the re ward of Military, or Naval, or Judicial services ! 1001. to the relict of a gentleman formerly dis charging the duties of a Commissary Judge at Havannah. Two pensions of 501. to the relicts of deserving unfortunates connected with the maritime department. Two other pensions of 501. immediately connected with war and its casualties. A pension of 1001. to the daughter of the late gallant Sir GEORGE CATHCART; killed at the battle of Inkermann. And a pension of 1501.—(the only pension attaining that, after all, not very extrava gant amount !)—to the bereaved mother of the late heroic Captain THomrsoN who died of wounds received during the glorious defence of Kars, from the besieging army of MOURAVIEFF ! Glorious pensions, admirable pensions, noble pen sions these last mentioned. Pensions against which not a whisper would be heard from us, but that they are coolly abstracted at the Treasury from the already inadequate sum of 1,2001. per annum set apart not for the encouragement of War, not for the recompense of Valour in the Field but for the recompense of toil in the Study, in the Atelier, in the Laboratory, for the acknow ledgment of good services done in the peaceful walks of Art, and Science, and Literature. ROYAL VISIT TO TUE PRUSSIAN LEGATION. The Queen last evening bonoured the Count and C teas Bernsturff by a State visit to a grand tall at Prussia Howie. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were accom panied by the Princess Royal, the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, and the Count of FlAnders. The Queen wore a dress of black brocaded mousseline de soie, trimmed with black lace, lilac flowers, and green leaves, the whole ornamented with diamonds, the headdress was a circlet of diamonds, and lilac flowers and green leaves. The Prince Consort and the Princes were in full uni form, and wore the insignia of the Prirsian and other orders of knighthood. The noblemen and gentlemen in waiting were in full dress uniform, and the members of orders of knighthood wore their respective insignia. The royal suite consisted of the Duchess of Sutherland, Viscountess Jocelyn, the Countess d'Yve, the Hon. Eleanor Stanley, the Hon. Louisa Gordon, Lord Byron, Viscount Torrington, • Baron Moltke, the ount de Moer kerke, Sir Frederick Stovin, Colonel F. Seymour, C. 8., Lord Charles Fitzßoy, Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, and Captain Burnell. The forkte consisted of six state carriages, the escort being a detachment of Life Guards. Tne company honoured with invitations to meet her Majesty began to arrive soon after nine o'clock, and assembled in brilliant groups in the suite of drawing rooms. The great variety of bright and delicate colours in the costumes of the ladies and the uniforms of the gentlemen imparted a remarkable brilliancy to the gene ral effect of the scone. LATEST NEWs. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. CAVAIGNAC AND TWO OTHER REPUB LICAN CANDIDATES RETURNED FOR PARIS. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The following is the final result of the polling at the second elections, which took place yesterday and to-day in the 3d, the 4th, and the 7th circum scriptions of Paris : At a few minutes before 10 o'clock the royal cortege drove up amidst the cheers of the crowd assembled. Her Majesty, on alighting from her carriage at the en trance of the pavilion, was received by the Count and Countess Bernstorff, whom she graciously saluted. Taking the arm of the Count, the Queen advanced through the lower rooms of the mansion, and, ascend ing the grand staircase, passed through the drawing• room into the throne-room. The Prince Consort fol lowed with the Countess Bernstorff, the Count of Flan• ders leading the Princess Royal, and Prince Frederick William of Prussia the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. The company having passed before her Majesty, the Lord Chamberlain intimated her Majesty's wish that a quadrille should be formed. The Queen herself led off with the Count, the Prince Consort dancing with the Countess Bernstorff. The Count of Flanders danced with the Princess Royal, and Prince Frederick William with the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. Af er two other sets had intervened, another royal quadrille was formed, the Queen now dancing with Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the Prince Consort with the Princess Charlotte of Belgi,irn, the Prince of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen with the Princess Royal, and the Duke of Cambridge with the Countess Persigny. The dancing now became general, and was continued until midnight, when the Queen left the ball-room, and was conducted by his Excellency to the supper-room, where a magnificent repast had been arranged by Me•e3re. Gunter in their most recherche style. On leaving tnesupperroom her Majesty passed through the long avenue of guests, graciously acknowledging their salutations, and after expressing to the Count and Countess Bernstorff, in very kind terms, the gratification she bad derived frail the entertainment, returned with the royal party to Buckingham Palace. The King of the Thlgians was prevented at the last moment from attending, owing to slight indisposition. The exterior of Prussia Rouse was illuminated with 10,000 coloured lamps, arranged in designs emblematic of the occa-ion. Tue arms of Prussia and England, and monograms of various members of the royal families, shone forth with great lustre, and attracted a host of admiring spectators during the evening. It is but a matter of simple justice that the witnesses to be examined before the Committee on the Bank Charter should not be taken only from bankers and traders in money, whose inte rest it is to maintain a high rata of discount. The manufacturing and agricultural interests should be properly represented, and persons who have closely studied the subject, should be invited to develope their ideas in accordance with a recent suggestion of the Times. It would, no doubt be a valuable thing to have "the whole arguments of the various schools comprised in one book," although it might prove rather a bulky one. With such a compendium every thinking man would be enabled to digest the various systems, and to arrive at a definite and unprejudiced conclusion totally irrespective of the report of the Committee. We can easily understand the motives of the "Mercator" party in desiring a strict and search. ing investigation, although they previously depre cated such a course. With the present state of public feeling, with the extravagant rate of interest still maintained at a minimum charge of 6 per cent. by the Bank —it may be dangerous to have the subject pub licly ventilated, until some favourable change has taken place. At present the subject is shelved, the proceedings of the Committee are strictly pri vate, and there is, therefore, an adequate excuse for preventing any discussion in Parliament ; but were the report once published, and any effort to legislate thereon made during the present session, there would be a serious agitation commenced on the all-important topic, and a pressure from without occasioned Which might prove as is resistible as that respecting the continuance of the War 9d., or rather the War 11d., in the Income Tax ! We, therefore, clearly perceive the object of the Fabian policy, but would still, for the sake of the development of truth, prefer that it should be partially suc cessful. It is impossible to hope that any large and comprehensive measure, can be passed at the present advanced period of the Session. The "Old Lady" must retain her present monopoly for another year, unless Ministers, yielding to the general desire of the industrial population, should take upon themselves the responsibility of giving the requisite notice for the termination of the Charter before the Ist of August. This, indeed, would be an important movement, which would allow Parliament to deal with the subject next session without the delay of another year. It would be but a prudent pre caution, which could do no harm, and might do a great deal of good. We fear, however, that so decided a course cannot be anticipated so long as Sir G. C. LEWIS remains at the head of the financial department. A significant hint, however, from either House might have a very beneficial effect in stimulating them to do that, which the best interests of the nation so imperatively de mand, and which could have no evil consequences, even if the old law were to be re-enacted, without change or modification, for a further period of ten years from the let of August, 1858. His Excellency the Hanoverian Minister has left town for Germany, en conge, for a short period. DEATH OF W. BRADLEY, THE ARTIST.—Mr. Wm.

SINGULAR DEATH OF A CHIID.—An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Bedford, at Bethnal-green, on the body of an infant Eix months old, who died in conse quence of a needle being accidentally run into its body.

I.INDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. We are requested to correct one or two observations in the chairman's speech at the meeting of this company on Saturday. The words referring to the South-Western terminus should be the London-bridge terminus, and those regarding the solicitor of the company were meant to allude to the solicitor of the Old Croydon Company, whose line was sold to the London and Brighton. The allusion to the confiscation of South Western property should he to that of the Brighton and South Coast Con. pany.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT SHREWSBURY. —An inquest was hell yesterday at the Guildhall to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Edward Joseph Ditcher, one of the 10 unfortunate persons who lest their lives on Friday night in consequence of the tem porary bridge across the Severn, in c onnection with Jullien's fete, giving way. Evidence was given to the effect that, in consequence of the complaints male of the injury to the quarry from Jullien's fete of last year, permission was granted to Mr. flay to use the Island of Poplars for the late fete, on the condition that Mr. Hay employed a competent person to construct a bridge of boats ny which to approach the island. Mr. Hay men tioned the name of Mr. Randal, architect, and stated that he intended to have two bridges, one for the ap proach to and another for persons leaving the island. It was afterwards found that one bridge only was erected. A verdict of accidental death was returned, the jury at the same time expressing their regret that the bridge had put by Air.

Those results may be regarded as emphatic protests against the unconstitutional interference with the freedom of elections, and the attempt to suppress discussion, and prevent the unqualified expression of opinion in political matters. It is true that the number of opposition deputies returned con stitute but a small proportion of the Chamber, and that the Government has what in this coun try would be deemed an overwhelming majority. But the persons chosen, the places for which they were selected, and the circumstances connected with the contests, bear a very significant aspect, and give ample ground for serious consideration to the EMPEROR and his advisers. It is no trivial matter to find General CAVAIGNAC who at oneperiod was virtuallydictator of France, who claimed the suffrages of the French people for the post of President against LOUIS NAPOLEON himself, and who is the recognised leader of the old republican party, returned by so influential a constituency, and despite the energetic efforts to oust him from the position to which he aspired. It will be remembered that although the General headed the poll a fortnight since, it was considered a void election from his not having obtained the absolute majority required by the electoral laws of France. The total number of registered electors in the third circumscription is 34,863. At the former struggle he received 10,345 votes, and M. THIBAUT, the Government candidate, 10,108. On the present General CATAIGNAC had 10,950, and M. Tkirsa - crT only 9,952 votes ! And this, as we have stated, notwithstanding the most gigantic efforts on the part of officials, wl.o brought almost every possible influence into operation against the man who had been the great rival and competitor of the EMPEROR himself. In the fourth district the registered voters are 35,385 ; of whom 9,632 supported M. VARIN, the Government candidate, while only 6,741 gave their suffrages in favour of M. OLLIVIER, the chief candidate of the Opposition. That same M. OLLIVIER has DOW polled 11,005, while M. VARIN only received 10,006 ! the former having ob tained 4,234 additional supporters, the latter only 363 more than on the previous occasion. Nor were the events in the 7th district lass striking. The number of electors there were 36,249, of whom 10,609 voted for M. LANQUETIN, the Government candidate, and 6,825 for M. DARISION, of La Fresse. The tables have, however, been com pletely turned, and M. DARIMON has been elected by 12,078 against 11,038 ! This divides the representatives of the metropolis equally between the Government and the Opposition, there being five on each side—an ominous number when the influence which Paris is known to exercise over the provinces is taken into consideration It would be well for Louis NAPOLEON to profit by this painful but salutary lesson, which may be regarded as the first serious defeat sustained during big career. He should make up his mind to co-operate with a real, independent Parliament, exercising its legitimate influence, and not to con- ' trol a body of political cyphers, only seeking to register his decrees. He should be prepared to tolerate free discussion in the Chamber and in the public journals, and thus, by affording the People legitimate means of giving expression to their views and opinions, prevent the dangerous excesses to which they may resort whenever a favourable opportunity may arise. In this country a strong opposition in Parlia ment, and a flee Preis, are justly regarded as the safeguards of the throne. They would prove the same in France, if the experiment was fairly tried. Here we are contented with a change of Ministry. The Sovereign submits to the voice of public opinion, clearly and intelligibly ex pressed. And her popularity is never for a mc- Dna diminished by any Ministerial crisis. There the same causes might produce a change of dynasty and a complete revolution in all the national institutions. It requires but little argu ment to show which course is safest and best, not oily- for the cause of order and tranquillity, but also for that of the ruler and of his family. Tile melancholy annual tale of The Civil L;st Pensions 1 1,2001. a-year for the encouragement of Art, Science, and Literature—and of this dole but an indifferent proportion, after all, given to any one at all connected with Art, or &Ilene-, or Literature. Wti have illustrated this remarkable fact again and again before now—yet we will do so even here once more from the catalogue but just now published. It is a catalogue of all the pensions granted between the 20th day of June, 1856, and the 20th day of June, 1857. A cata logue presenting to view an attenuated list of no less than seventeen recipients. Here, again, is the old initial blunder reiterated ! A paltry total rendered yet more paltry in its application by being so frivolously divided and subdivided ! Naturally, enough in consequence of this excessive subdivision, we find the aggregate of 1,2007., when distributed into seventeen instalment; frit tered down in some instances to very mean driblets indeed !—to 70/. !—to 50/. l—evfn to 301. actually, in two instance;, to 25/. ! This last mentioned "amount" (if we may venture to give it so very grand-sounding a designation) being absolutely one that for wages would be pooh-poohed by a respectable butler , and taken, as a matter-of-course, by a ()Alit Scubion ! However, there is the unmis takeable, undeniable " fact"—that, in consequence of this most absurd system of dividing 1,200/. among no less than seventeen separate individuals (in reality, we find one petty instalment of 501. divided between two sisters !) we fritter away the whole of this restricted fund in a manner the most ungraceful and the ; most unsatisfactory. - That is a very egregious blunder to begin with. But there are others, also, in regard to the distribution of this Fund still more indefensible. It might, perhaps, just within the limits of possibility, re main a matter of doubt, if submitted to the con sideration of a conscientious jury, whether the minimum, pension on the list ought to be restricted to 801. or 100/., and the 'maximum to 2501. or 3001. But it could not, by auy chance what ever, remain a question for two seconds in the lidgiaient o f any twelve right-winded Englishmen LIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A grand "extra" performance was given last night at the above theatre for the benefit of Maddle. The entertainments were of a miscellaneous character, and consisted of scenes from "La Figlia del Reggi wento," "II Trovatore," " La Traviata," and " I Mar tiri," the divertissement entitled " Les Rose-," and the second tableau of the ballet called " Acalista." Piccolo mini was of course the " bright particular star" of the evening, and judging from the almost unprecedented applause bestowed upon her on every possible occasion, we might infer that the large audience had assembled for the sole purpose of doing honour to her genius. Never in all our experience of theatrical matters have we witnessed anything like the enthusiastic homage which was paid to the great little artist last night. She was called before the curtain several times after each of her performances, whilst innumerable bouquets and lau rel crowns were showered about her from every part of the house within reach of the stage. The entire enter tainment went off with extraordinary brilliancy and eclat. ROYAL VISIT TO ALDERSHOT.—Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Royal, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the Count of Flan ders and the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, and a numerous retinue, will visit the camp at Aldershot to morrow, to review the troops.

A telegraphic despatch received in Paris gives news from Naples to the 3d. The insurrection is stated to have been entirely put down ou all points. Two engagements between the insurgents and the royal troops are stated to have taken place on the frontiers of Calabria, and in the first it is alleged that the insurgents lost 100 men, and in the second 30. The steam frigates of the Neapolitan navy, Amalia, Roberto, Ruggiero, and Vesuvio, have re ceived orders to cruise on the coast. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 3'l states that M. Savi , the responsible editor of the Mazzinian journal Italia e Popolo, has been ar rested, together with a few other suspected indivi duals. The criminal inquiry is being actively con tinued. In the sitting of the 31 of the Chamber of De puties at Turin, M. Itatazzi, Minister of the In terior, in reply to a question addressed to hitn by Conut Revel, confirmed his former statement, viz., that the movement of Genoa was Mazzinian. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 2d publishes the following account The steamboat Cagliari, which performs the mail service from Genoa to Tunis touching at some of the ports in Sardinia, and which belongs to the com pany of Rubatt;no, started from Genoa on the 25th ult., to make her usual trip. No notice having been received of her arrival in Sardinia, and it being known that some suspected persons, the greartaln Legion,vrpiaartofNhmhawd discharged m ereebarkedon board s th o is f the vessel, furnished with regular passports for Tunis, the authorities despatched the steamer Ichnusa, of the royal navy, to search for the Cagliari, and to resist any attempt which might be made by them. This search has proved fruitless, and information has now reached us that the persons above alluded to, having possessed themselves of the command of the vessel, direced her caurse towards the coasts of the kingdom of Naplel, and on the 27th ult. attacked the isle of Ponza, where they took on board three hunched of the prisoners condemned for political offencei, and thence proceeded to the coast of tse Lower Principality, in the province of Salerno, and landed at a place upon that coast of the name of Sapri. _ . . The individuals referred to had hoisted tLe red flag on board the vesel, but persisted in keeping the Sardinian flag, which they abused in an un worthy manner. Two vesse!s of the Neapolitan navy, which were transporting troops into the pro vince of Salerno, have captured the Cagliari. The government here (says a letter dated Turin, July 2), his already got hold of all the threads of the conspiracy, and to-morrow the Gazette will inform us of some of the particulars of it. This city continues to be grieved and astonished by the attempt which has been made ; very few of our townsman had any part in it, and th )se few were inexperienced youths„who will have to mourn for what they have done. Some of those who attacked the Diamante Fort were observed to speik French, and there are many tokens for believing them to be affiliated to the celebrated French " Marianne." A letter from Genoa of the 2d instant in the Opinione of Turin, says that, several of the per sons arres ed there have been set at liberty, but more than a hundred remain in confinement. It is said that three of the party who attacked the Diamante Fort had been apprehended. The senti nel of the fort has also been taken into custody. The Cattolico assens that amongst the letters found upon the prisoryos were papers of instruc tions signed by. Joseph Mazziui, in which be tells them, amongst other thin(o, that they are to ab stain from appropriating the booiy, in order that it may afterwards be divided in equal shares amongst all the members of the National Society. The same journal speaks of a design on the part of the conspi rators to blow up the palaces and public buildings, but, says the Opinione, " we. do not know what foundation there is for these statements." It is stated that three thousand ,stand of arms with ammunition, hand grenades, and other war like stores, have been seized at Genoa. The conspiracy (says the Paris correspondent of the Times, second edition), was directed, it is said, against the King of Naples and the Pops. It was not with a view to any particular form of govern ment ; the object was to get rid of the Italian Bourbons, and expel the Austrians, and those who are protected by them, from Italy. The concocters of the plan have as their watchword the saying of Machiavelli, "lfssori i Barbari," and then Italy may choose the government that best suits her. It is said that M. Mazzini himself has for the present abandoned his peculiar no . ions of government, has temporarily abd'cated his leader ship, and has entered into the cause as a soldier rather than as a chief. What has taken place at Genoa was, it is said, not directed against the Pied montese Government. The object was to get pos session of some ships of war iu the habour, and the occupation of the forts was judged necessary to keep the city in cheek while the vessels were manned by the conspirators. Willa these vessels it was intended to proceed at once to Naples, and make a despdrate attempt to fire the shipping, the arsenal (which is full of combustible material), and the powder magazine, and to blow up the Palace and part of the city, if necessary. It seems that persons employed in the arsenal were aware of what was going on, and, when the moment came, would have lent their aid. At Naples itself there was an understanding with the conspirators, and in the ranks of the Neapolitan army there are said to be many sympathisers. Accounts have been received to-day that the owners of the steampacket Cagliari have demanded the rest°, ation of that vessel from the Neapolitan Government on the gr muds that the captain and crew had acted under the influence of force majeure. The Neapolitan Governm:nt has replied that the ship is officially confiscated. Iu cam) the Sardinian Government should support the claims of the owners of the Cagliari it may lead to unpleasant results. It appears from a letter dated Turin, the 4,h inst., that the Fort Diamante, at Genoa, was in possession of the Republicans from 10 o'clock of the night of the 30th of June until daylight of the Ist of July. Eleven soldiers who formed the gar rison after the murder of the sergeant were con fined in a casemate. The insurgents had loaded -the guns of the fort, prepared shells and cannon balls, and had prepared to defend themselves ; but the conspiracy not having succeeded in the town, they abandoned the fort, leaving in it the arms they had brought there. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY NIMIT, The Royal M..il sttatuship Canada, Capt. Neil Shannon, art ived.from New York to night, after a rather lengthened run, having been delayed by easterly winds. She sailed from New Yci• on the 24th ult , at noon, and has brought upwards of 100 passengers, and above $1,250,000 in specie. She reports having passed the screw steamship City of Baltimore hence for New York on the 27th The Persia arrived at New York on the 23d ult., after a capital run of nine days and a half, and the Khersonese was reported same day at Portland, both from Liverpool. The intelligence is of comparative unimportance. A settlement is expected of the New Granada difficulty, and it is stated that the re-opening of the Nicaraguan route has been resolved upon. The new commissioner to China, the Hon. W. R. Reed, was entertained at a public dinner, at Philadelphia, on the 22d ult. , The accounts from Kansas ara conflicting, but the feeling prevails that at the elections the Free State party will be in a minority. Havana advices report the city is healthy, and sugar.unchanged in value. Santa Anna was daily expected. There are advices from Vera Cruz to the 6th ult., which report active preparations being made to repel the expected Spanish invasion. COMM HRCIAL INTELLIGENCE. There is little change to notice in the money market at New York ; the demand continues quiet, and rates are unaltered. Stocks are freely pur chased for holding over, but few cash sales are re ported. Foreign exchange has a tendency down wards. London quoted 109 a to Cotton has been favourat , ly influenced by the Persia's European news. Br;?adstuffs were also higher in value. Provisions rather easier. Freights languid, with moderate engagements. THE LITERARY ANn ARTISTIC PENSION FUND. Twelve hundred a year, as Finance Ministers continually assure inquisitive members, is the pre scribed limit 'to the pensions annually granted by Government for the relief of distress among the classes devoted to literature and art. The scope of this definition is wide, and the body of indivi duals whom it comprises present at all times, we fear, only too many instances of misfortune. The allotted margin, howeVer, is never overpassed. To every claim preferred, wlien the list for the year is filled, the Minister replies by quoting the statute 1 Vic., cap. 2, and declaring that however de serving the object, or unmerited ttie distress he is asked to assuage, the law is inexorable in its pro hibition. The national purse is closed, and the worthiest applicants are sent empty away. While the law is interpreted thus rigidly against the claim of literature and science, a similar strict ness should, in common justice, be exercised in its favour. Perhaps 1,2001. is sufficient, or ought to be made so, to relieve the poverty into which " men of genius"—to use the ordinary phrase— or their families, are likely to fall. The Act says so, at all events, and must be obeyed. But if the limit is thus narrowly pre scribed, the fund appointed by Parliament should be religiously set apart for the specific perpose, and not to Fe trenched upon in order to make provision for State pensioners be longing to other classes. The grant at best is nat so liberal as t ) justify excision. Yet the actual allotment of the pensions for some years past has shown how slight is the attention paid by the Exe cutive to the claims of literature, and how large a part of the limited sum at their command is given away, by her Majesty's Ministers, to recipients who have no pretensions to the literary or artistic character. .The list of pensions granted in the year ending on the Ist inst, which has j Ist teen officially pub!i-led, is no better than its predeces sors in this respect. The sum at disposal has been thus distliblited. We venture to alter the order of names for the sake of classification CLASS I.

The publics gift was well be wowed and richlrdeserved. All that we plead is that the pensions in the last category given above should have been awarded from another fund. A m ple provision for the bereaved sister of Colonel Doyle, mother of Captain Thompson, widow of Mr. Gavin, or daughter of General Cathcart, was due flora the nation to the services of those late gallant officers, but clearly belonged t 3 the vote for miht try pensions, and should have been defrayed out of the artny estimates, instead of being drawn from the pittance alloted by Parliament for the relief of dis,ressed "Genius." The debts were richly due, and ought to be paid. But the pay metit would have been wade with better grace if not accompanied by a robbery upon a fund osten sibly devot-d to another branch of the national liability to i's servants and benefactors.—Morning Chronicle. The Presse of yesterday states that a Baron de 8., who lost his fortune by speculations on the Bourse, and who subzequently raised money on bills, drove yesterday from the Rue de Rivoli, where he occapied a hands me apartment, to Notre Dame, where he committed suicide by throwing himself from the tower. He held.in his hand a summons which he had received from the Procur,ur Imperial, t answer a charge of forgery. His body was etinveyed t the Morgue. Information has reached us of some disturbances which have broken out in the South of Spain, but they appear to have 1 een without importance, and were egergetically suppressed, ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day.) MA O. The committee re-asseinuied this morning. Mr. James Jordan was examined in reference to a statement he had made on a previous occasion, that a man named Nicholas had been fired at by a person named Kavanagh, an agent of Col. Higgins, but his state ments were of such a complicated character that the committee found it impossible to make any thing of his evidence on that point. He was examined at great I.ngth on the resolution of Archbishop McHale and the Bishops at St. Jarlath. It was sent to the printers by Dr. MeGreal, of Castlebar, but he did not know that an arrangement was made to send a copy to each parish priest. In answer to the Chairman, the witness said he never ;aw so quiet an election in his life. Mr. Edward Jordan,son of the last witness, gave .milar testimony. OXFORD (CITY). The committee re-assembled this morning. Mr. Welsby addressed the committee on behalf of the sitting member, Mr. Neate. He contended that no case of treating or bribery had been na:.de out. He admitted that a large number of messengers were employed in the conduct of the election, who were voters, but the pecu liarities of the contest, and the unusual period it lasted, rendered their employment a matter of necessity. MAIDSTONE. The Committee re-assembled at the usual hour. Mr. Sergeant Pigot addressed the committee at some considerable length on the part of the sitting members, Messrs. Hope and Scott, urging that nothing had been proved against them beyond the fact that some enthusi astic supporters of the Canservative interest in Maid stone had made some random promise to electors to vote for the sitting members. The promises, if they were given, had bee❑ made without the knowledge, privity, or consent of the sitting members. If such evidence as bad been proved in this case was to make an election void no member's seat would be safe. Ile did not intend to rely I on that defence al me, but should call evidence to show that no such promises were made. Evidence was then called to rebut that given on the part of the petitioner. BURY. The committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour, and the examination of witnesses in support of the petitioner's case was proceeded with. LAW INTIMLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE PONSONBY. This bankrupt had carried on an extensive business as a carver in Piccadilly. Mr. Chidley, Mr. B. May, and other solicitors at. tended on behalf of the respective creditors. The preliminary statement by Messrs. Hart shows Dr. to creditors about 4,0001. Assets about 1,0001. The choice of assignees book place. IN R --DISPUTED ADJUDICATION. Mr. Ashley appeared (n behalf of the petitioning creditor in this case, to apply for an adjournment for evidence in support of the adjudication. Mr. Chidley, for the bankrupt, objected to any ad journment, as ti:e petitioning creditor had every oppor pi,rtunity of making out his case. He was sorry to op pose a proposition fur an adjournment, but in this case he felt bound to do so. His Honour asked Mr. Chidley the grounds on which he disputed the adjudication ? Mr. Cuidley said it was on the act of bankruptcy. His Honour referred to the proceedings, and said the act of bankruptcy was alleged to have taken place in August last, by absenteeism from home with a vies to delay creditors. It was a long time, and the proof, at least, ought to be ready, but under any circumstances he was averse to an adjourn ment in cases of disputed adjudication, for, as in trader debtor summonses, it might tend to prevent the object of the bankrupt law, by admitting the possibility of a compromise. IN RE MARE. A meeting wa; held under this estate (the bankrupt was the well known shipbuilder at Blackwell), and nine-tenths of the creditors present agreed to a compro mise, but it was objected to on behalf of others on the ground that the meeting was not called as required by Mr Commisgoner Hulroyd, and Mr, Commissioner Goulburn refused to interfere, and ordered the case to stand over until Mr. Commissioner Holroyd returned after his vacation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) SOUTHWARK. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT LONDON BumuE.—Margaret Anderson, a decent looking young woman, who seemed to be labouring under some aberration of intellect, was brought before Mr. Combs, from St. Thoinas's.hospital, charged with attempting to commit suicide at London ioge. Inspector Everest, of the Thames Police, stated that on Monday morning he was in his galley near jenning's Wharf, when he heard that a female had jumped off London Bridge into the River. Witness went to the spot, and saw the prisoner taken out of the water in a state of insensibility, and she had a wound on her fore head, caused by coming in contact with the abutment of the bridge. Witness' bad her conveyed to St. Thomas' Hospital, where ,she was attended to and restored to animation, and she remained there until this morning when he went and took her into custody. He under stood that she had had a quarrel with some portion of her family, and in the heat of passion attempted to de stroy herself. Mr. Cowbe asked whether she was a married woman I Inspector Everest replied that she was, and her hue. band was in court. The latter, a respectable looking-man, here stepped forward and asked his worship to release her, and he would take care of her for the future. He could not account for her attempting such a rash act as she had a comfortable home. Mr. Combe, under the circumstances, discharged her, and gave her up to her husband, cautioning him to look sharp after her as she did not appear to have her pro per intellect. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING. ROBBERY IN THE STREET BY FEMALES.— E -ima Wilkinson and Catherine Stewart, middle aged women, were charged before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a veil, a pocket handkerchief, &c., from the person of Catherine Shea, a married woman, living at No. 42, Dudley-court, Dudley-street. Theprosenntrix stated, that yesterday evening she accompanied some friends to Cremorne Gardens, on the occasion of a benefit taking place for the Printer's Pension Society. About two o'clock she parted from her friends near her home, when she was suddenly seized hold of by Wilkinson, who used very bad lan guage. Mr. Beadon—ln what way did she lay hold of you ? Prosecutrix replied that she grasped her (prosecutrix's) throat with both her hands, so that she could not get away. After she bad released herself, she found that her pocket bad been turned inside out, and missed her veil, a pocket handkerchief, and some money. The pri- soner Wilkinson first tried to get a shavil from her, but did not succeed. Mr. Beadon- - How was your pocket picked ? Proiecutrix—That was done by the other prisoner. They wEre severally sent for six months to the House of Correction. MARKET NEWB.--(Mis Day.) HAY MARKETS.
