The Lowest Rates of Premium, the Reduced or Non-parti cipating Rates, are intended for those who prefer an immediate saving to prospective accumulations. One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions than any other plan which has been suggested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him from obtainiag a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums.

DTHORPE. TILE-ISLINGTON MURDER. HA TTON- GARDEN. COMMITTAL OF GOULD. The examination of Richard Gould, alias Arthur Nicholson, charged with the wilful murder of John Tem pleman, was yesterday resumed before Mr. Combe, the Magistrate. The first witness examined w as Thomas Bottin, who stated that between half after twelve and a quarter to one, on Tuesday, 17th of March, he went into the General Wolfe public-house, in Little Gray's-inn-lane, and found the prisoner in the tap-room, smoking a short pipe. Pri soner and witness, with another person, conversed for three qearters of an hour; the conversation was about soldiering concerns. Prisoner went away before witness. Gould was in the room about an hour and a half. Gould sat next a window. A woman with a child in her arms tapped at the window where he was, and he then beckoned to her, and she came in and sat down at a distance from Gould. She went out before him. They never spoke to each other during the whole time. Did not see her have any refreshment. Gould only remained a minute or two after she was gone. Did not see hint pay for any drink. Gould said be had nothing to ask him ; it was right enough—he was there. William Mash saw the prisoner at the General Wolfe, in Little Gray's.inn, between twelve and one on the day in question. Witness had been in the Spanish service, and had some conversation with the prisoner on the subject. Heard somebody tap at the window, but did nut see any woman c.,me in. Gould went out when the tap was heard at the window. Gould went out directly after. Does not recollect that anybody came in before Gould went out. He went out when the tapping was heard at the window, and did not re turn after. Witness has no recollection of any woman coming into the room at all. Did not see Gould pay for anything. The witness Bottin was in the room at the time. Henry Wright, the potman at the Duchess of Kent who had been previously examined, repeated his former evi dence, and stated in addition, that he recollected that when Gould had come to him, as mentioned in his former examination, Gould said, I should like to have a right one to stand over him, or I could do it myself. This was after Gould had told witness that be knew an old gentle man who had got money, and who had bid 25/. for a c.attage. Gould said that the old gentleman had bean flashing a fifty pound note, and he knew that he had more, for he had taken it in doors and put it in a draxer, and the old gentleman had said, that if that was not enough there was more. Witness repeated the words, " a right one," and then it was the prisoner added the words, or lie could do it himself. In answer to questions from Gould, the witness stated that by the expression, a right one, be considered hemeant he should like to have some one to assist him in the rob bery that he utiderstood he intended to commit. Witness never to his recollection had any conversation with pri soner concerning robberies. Gould—Did you never propose to me to go and get some meat under false pretences, as a young man at Hol loway had done, and I refused? Witness—Not that I recollect. Gould—lt is a pity but what you could recollect better. John Ellis is in the service of Mr. Herbert, knew de ceased well, saw his remains after death, on the 17th inst., and they were the remains of John Templeman. Mr. Comma—Now the case is closed against you, you can say anything if you wish. You are not bound to do so, and what you say will be taken down. Gould—No, I shall say nothing here, 1 shall have plenty of time to prepare my defence, I dare say. Mr. Cocas—Then you stand committed to Newgate. Take him away. The prisoner was then removed by the officers. The excitement on the subject of the murder seems rather in creased than diminished, and the Court was as crowded as on any former occasion. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Llt-EnrooL, Arial, 6. CROWN SIDE.—( Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.) R. IV. Jackson, It. J. Richardson, William Butter worth, and Bronterre O'Brien were indicted for sedition. The cases were so similar to those which have already been given at length in The Sun that it is not accessary to go into the detail. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. KNOWLES prayed that they might stand committed. The defendants pleaded for the night's liberty, as they had made no arrangements for the event of an immediate imprisonment, and it appearing that their present recog- ' nuances were satisfied by their appearing to take their trial, it was, after some delay, arranged that they should be discharged on fresh recognizances to-morrow morning, Mr. Richardson on his own recognizance in 2001. ; Mr. O'Brien in 2001., Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Clarkson, the attorney, being his sureties; Mr. Butterworth on his own recognizance in 100/., Mr. O'Connor being his surety ; and Mr. Jackson in 20(11., with one surety, all he was able to procure on the moment, in 50/.

TIME S.—By the advices from hamburg the price of gold is 4301 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 1. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13.74, and the exchange at Hamburg on Lon don at short being at 13.64, it follows that gold is 0.47 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 324., and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1081 s per et nt., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent:, it follows that the exchange is 1 07 per cent. against England. The Consol-market is not quite so firm as yesterday * but the price, remain about the same. The money price has been 901 to 1 all day, without variation. The quo tation for UR; Account has been 91, sometimes buyers and sometimes sellers, but leaving off the latter. Money has b::en a little in demand, and worth 5 or 6 per cent. for short pciieth ; however, as the dividends are payable to morrow at the Bank, it is expected to be as easy as before. Exchequer hills fully maintain their prices, and are quoted at 225, to 247._ premium. The demand for Great Western Shares has increased since the cpcning of the line to Reading. To-day there has been a considerable rise, and Great Westein are quoted at i to 8 premium. Birmingham maintain their prices of 67 to 69 premium, and the share market is ge nerally brisk. By the usual official return published by the Customs the exporlation of the precious metals horn the port of London to foreign and Colonial ports for the week end ing the 2d of April is as under : Gold b,rs, Rotterdam 4OO ounces. Silver coin, Rotterdam Silver coin; Mauritius Silver bars, Rotterdam The amouat of business done to-day in the foreign ex changes was not large, and the prices generally remained the same. There was some American paper in Paris, though not to so great an extent as had been expected, but apparently quite equal to tha demand. SUN.—The Tea Market, which was very brisk in the early part of the day did not clese' quite so firmly this afternoon ; but there was no disposition to sell at lower prices. In the rates for Continental Bills of Exchange we are glad to notice a slight amelioration ; three months Paper on Paris having been negotiated at 25f. 52Ac. to 551. ;on Ilamburgh t : at 13 9 to ; and on Amster dam. at short, 12 1 : }, The Funds closet firmly, b ut not qu it e so high as in the morning. Consols, for Mon e y, 90 ; 1-, buyers, and for the Account at 91 ; the New Three and a Hall per Cents. at 99a, and Bank S toc k a t 175 ex-dividend. A further advance will probably occur when the divi dends have been paid. After the . middle of the day a few purchasers in Spanish Bonds advanced the price to 2SI ; but, with the exception of Mexican Bonds, which receded to 728-il, there was not the slightest alteration in any of the otber bonds. The Share Market was not brisk this afternoon, but prices were very well supported. The London and Birmingham obtained 70, the Manchester and Leeds 15, and the Great Western 7} premium. Surely, however, after having submitted implicitly to the laws of the country in every particular, seeking rather to conciliate by forbearance, than' to exact by intin,i•la tion, and peaceably endurieg offensive conduct which, as between European S:ates, would be the scurce of immediate war, she has an unquestionable right to resist unlawful violence, to check unbridled insolence, and to punish aggressions committed in reckless defiance of those principles of mutual courtesy and fair dealing, which civilized nations have established for the conduct and eon trol of their intercourse with each other. The complaint against the Chinese Government, then, is not that it has interfered to prevent the smuggling of a particular article, but that in doing so it has exceeded the limits of its just and legitimate authority, so far as to commit a gross out rage on the per- sons and property of British subjects, and a wanton and flagr.,nt insult to h. r Majesty the Queen.

DEATII OF LA PETITE DUCROW.-o ur readers will remember a very interesting little girl who was in the habit of riding in the ring at the Amphitheatre this year, while under the management of Mr. Ducrow. The deceased was Mr. Ducrow 's niece, and on account of her agility, a great favourite with him. It appears that al»ut the ratter part of January, she was sitting near the fire after the termination of the per formance, and exhausted with her exertions, fell asleep. A spark or a cinder cau g ht her clothes, an d she was imme diately in flames. The wife of a member of the company came in at the instant , thre w her down, extinguished the flames, and sent for Mr. Jeffery, the surgeon. The injures were, ever, so great, that she died in the beginning of the, wee k, when an inquest was held on the b o d y, an d a iil n verdict of Accidental Death" returned. When Mr. Ducrow closed the Amphitheatre she was too ill to be removed, and, to his great r%ret, he eras co,mvellecl to leave her behind.- Liverpool Wontek, 01lin' SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNID TAPERS OF THIS DAY. ( From the Morning Post ) No ore of good sense will deny that manufacturing in dustry to a certain extent, especially when carried on in conjunction with more or less of agricultural pursuits, is of the utmost importance both to the comfort and mental improvement of a nation ; but there are very many wise men, and we believe the wisest in this country, who believe that we have in England pushed the manufacturing system a great deal too far, both with reference to the mainte nance of the homely virtue of the nation and to the na tional peace and security. The result of the system, in the extent to which it is at present carried, is to make the prosperity of a great part of our population dependent upon the policy of foreign countries. This is net quite so bad as being dependent upon those foreign countries for our food, which is the improvement that the manufac turers demand ; but it is a great political evil, and appears to be increasing every year. (From the Times.) What is called " The Printed Papers Bill," involving the new privilege claimed by the House of Commons, is now on its way through the House of Lords, and will be discussed in detail as soon as Lord Lyndhurst is able to take Its scat. For our own parts, we retain the opinion which we that gave on this subject—that neither I - louse has a rational right to any privilege whatever, but that of de liber,Aing, and deciding without impediment, hindrance, or future responsibility, on the public matters which arc sub jected to its consideration. If physically obstructed, they may remove the obstruction by summary imprisonment during the session. If libelled, the courts are open to them—they may prosecute by the late officers. With these privileges, the whole duty of legislation ma . y be fully and effectually perforated. And what right can a legislative body have to more ? (From the Morning Ilcrott.) replied to Sir Graham in a speech James • Mr. Macaulay of considerable eloquence. Viewed as en answer to Sir James Graham's arguments, Mr. Macaul a y' s speec h waa absolutely a failure ; hut when regarded as a display of skill in debate, it may be p ronounced superior to an y other effort which Mr. M a caulay has made in Parliament. Sir Wil liam Follett succeeded Mr. Macaulay ; and in a speech of consumma t e ability, overt hrew that Right lion. Gentl eman horse and foot , The eloquence the arts th at are h a bi tual of Sir Willi am Foll ett is li of the biaeStorder. disdains to your flashy word-mongers,. He. appeals a t once to t h e highest forms of in tellect tu the minds of his hearers, and to their best affections. His speech of last night merits the closest consideration by all who would really understand the Chinese question. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) The memorable concession made by Si r R o b ert P eel i n Friday's d ebate, that our strength as a nation, our position in the scale of nations, and even the prosperity of our agriculture, are contingent upon the thriving condition of manufactures, is a concession that cuts up the case of the corn monopolists root and branch. With this concession all controversy substantially ends. This is the great point—th e one point i n d e b ate. T he only .l, rational interpretation ofstruirOe is that of Ps t w i n , a e olitest whether we shall, or s h a ll not, he a mann factUring nation. t;t•aiit that, and it mist f o ll ow that lit merely the ,ortial infliction of a considerabl e degree of iti 'pry by tin t t int merely anti- degree o f de na ,, n _ s trated injury, bu t even the rere . ote prospe c t o f i n j ury, would be a suffici ent reason for their repeal or modification. (From the Morning Advertiser.) In returning to t he Chinese question, we willin g ly t a k e the opportunity of noticing a very uncandid attempt to in fuse into the discussion a spirit of prejudice and bitterness, in which we are sorry to find the Spectator acting a lead ing. part. That journal has given to th e i ntended hostile expedition the ab surd title of The Opium War," for the express purpose of conveying to its readers an impression that the object of the Government is to Protect a lawless traffic, .to compel the admission of a perni c i ous d ru g, and to encourage habits and practices tending to the corruption of morals and the destruction of life. In thus acting, we do not scruple to attribute to our contemporary either a total ignorance of facts, or a wilful misrepresenta tion of them for par ty purposes. I t i s per f ect l y true t h a t the quarrel has .its origin in the contraband trade in opium ; but. England elaiela no right to interfere with the fiscal regulations of the Chinese Cinvcrnment, R.pd bas neither encouraged, nor proposed to encourage, a prohibited trato. other articles are in request, at former rates. Mayarrios.—This afternoon the biddings were bask at a public sale of 4,636 bags, the whole of which found buyers at an advance on last week's rates of 6d to Is per cwt.; fine yellow sold at 6Ss to 705, good 66s 6d to 67s 6d, good middling 65s to 665, middling 638 6d to 645, low 62s to 62s 6d. - good to fine brown 60s 6d to 61s 6d, middling and good middling 57s to 59s Gd, very low 50s to 525. per cwt. EAST IsiniA.—This afternoon Bengal was in steady request by private treaty, and former rates fully supported. The public sales consisted of 170 bags Cochin China and 76 boxes Siam, which sold at previous rates. Foustorr. - --Havannah ; in white and yelloW previous rites have been supported. White kinds of Brazil are held fa' I:de rates ; new crop at 23s 1:1 for strong brown and yellow quality ;* Porto Rico 9.3 s 6d ; Rio rather above previous rates. MOLASSES.—The transactions in West India have been limitkd ; fine quality cannot be quoted above 36s per cat. COFFEE.—The transactions by private contract in West India Coffee have again been very limited, and prices remain ogrninilly the same. This afternoon there was more inquiry from the home trade, but it did not lead to much business by private contract, and prices zre stiil uncertain, so limited are Utz. transactions. The public sales consisted of 2,501 bags Brazil, 2,286 bags E. 1., and 163 cks Java; the former was imported direct, and realized steady prices, the bulk was damaged and fetched 39s to 465, a few lots sound good and fine ordinary realized 45s to 48s per cwt.: the E. I. from the Cape was also mostly damaged, and sold at low prices, viz., Java first class sea damaged at 59s 6d to 65s Gd, second ditto 58s to 60s, third ditto 52s to 565, repacked 55s 6d to 59s ; Padang very brownish mixed with blacks sea damaged 48s 6d to 518; a few lots pale sound Java were taken in at 755. TEA.—Far Free Trade Tea there was a much better demand last week, and a large business was transacted in cash parcels at an advance of 2d to 3d per lb. In common Congou large sales were made at 2s 3d to 4s 3jd, and Twankay at 2s 3d to 2s 4d ; the trade as well as capitalists were free buyers ; ooe large parcel of 1,200 chests ord Hyson was disposed of at 2s Gd for money. For prompts a fair business was transacted at improved rates ; sale, of old Cangou were made at 2s 4d, and in Twankay at 2 41d to 2s 5d per lb. For Company's Congou an active demand prevailed, and prices advanced to 2s 4d to 2s 4p for cash parcels, and t2s 5d to 2 s Gd for prompts, being an advance of 4d on former rates, and the market closed with more buyers than sellers at these rates. The accounts received from China state that the Chinese Go vernment had issued an edict, prohibiting the importation into their ports of British goods of any kind, whether in native er in foreign ships, requiring a bond fro.ii the master of any vessel entering tine port to trade, that it does not contain goods transshipped from any British vessel, and consenting to the confiscation of the ship and cargo should anything British be discovered on board. Lin, the Commissioner, is in high favour with the Emperor, who fully approves of the course he has pursued towards the English, and there is not the least loon. dation for the report that he had been lowered in rank; on the part of Captain Elliot there had appeared some desire to place :.fLurs on an amicable footing; but Lin was quite averse to this, and stated that the edict stopping the trade for ever with the English should continue in force. In India warlike preparations against China continue on a large sc:ll , . The date► are to the 29th February from Bombay, 10th February from Calcutta, and 7th January from Canton. The effect of the above was to cause the holders of Tea here to require advanced rates, and the trade were alsomore desirous to do business. In Company's Ccingou large purchases were made for cash at O.s 5d to Os 5d ; some contracts were made for prompts at Os 6d per Ib, and at these rates several parties refused to sell in consequence of the increased difficulties thrown in the way of trade between this country and China. In Free Trade Tea a large business was done in cash parcels at prices lid to Id above those of Saturday, 2s 3-1 d to Os 4id being paid for parcels of common Con. gou, and Twankay at Os sid per lb. 'lhe future state of prices of Tea, particularly if there should be a long stop page of trade, will mainly depend on the quantity of Tea that is already shipped and in progress of shipment the letters are si lent at present o❑ this subject. It is reported that the Thomas Coutts has begun to take in her homeward cargo. The Royal Saxon, it is said, has succeeded in getting up to NVhampoa, The Frederick Huth has arrived from Hong Kong with 50 chcbts, 469 half chests, 31)0 boxes, 1,44 e: ten-catty boxes Caper, 38 boxes Seuchong, 138 boxes Orange Pekoe.

The duty was paid last week on 340,000 lbs of Tea. To.day there was a brisk demand for Free Trade Tea for cash— speculators as well as the trade were eager buyers, and prices are on the advance ; sales on ordinary cyan Congoa were made at Os 4d, and Twankay of common quality at Os 4 !4cl, end at these rates some difficulty was experienced in ;kurchasing. For prompts a fair disposition hasbecn shown to do business, and sal.!B were made in ordinary Congou at 2s sd, and Twankay 2s 51d. Company's Con. you is in active request for money, and large sales were made at tls 51d, several parcels were disposed of at 2s fid with short prompts ; far two and three months prompt:some purchases were made at 2s 61‘1 to 2s 7id per lb. The Alexander taring is on her passage with Tea—it is reported about 10,000 packages. At Calcutta 120 chests Assam Tea, of superior quality, are in progress of shipment. This afternoon there was a large business transacted in Com pany's Congou for cash, and Free Trade Tea was in request, and farmer rates were fully supported. At a late hour there was less business doing, and piices closed as follows for money—Common Free Trade Congou at 2s 4d, Twan kay 2s 41d, Company's Congou 2s 5d to sid; at these rates some parties refused to sell. On 'Change the attendance of the trade was large, but there was not so much desire shown to buy as in the early part of the day. TALLow.—For Russian Tallow on the spot Chandlers have paid 52; 3d for first quality ; for delivery in the last three months, few transactions have taken place since we last wrote, but there are no sellers under 49s 6d, and some parties require 49s Dd per cwt, Town Tallow has sold well.

Madame Carado:i Allan, who has fet some days been confined by a second and most severe att ac k o f measles, is, we are happy to learn , doing well. Mr. Revis, the witness, then proceeded to relate the conver sation which he had with Mr. William Holmes, late on the polling-day.' Mr. Holmes came.towitness outside the Com mittee-room door, and said, " Your friend wavers—he will not Cote." Witness said, " I fear he has been offered too much money on the other side." -- Mr. Holmes said, " Oh ! you must not slop at that—no money must be spared to secure his vote." Fitness said, " I do not think he will vote under 500/." Mr. Holmes said, •" Very .well, arrange it." Wade voted late in the - day. Witness went down to him for the pur pose of offering the money tohim, but feared that he had voted. Witness had previously offeted.him 250/. • on the authority of Mr. John'Williams. Has frequently seen Mr. Williams in corn municalioii with Mr. Clive, the Candidate; but cannot tell the subject of the conversation. Has heard Mr. Williams converse with Mr. Holmes on the subject of the election. Has seen Mr. Williams partaking in the deliberations at Denhatn House previous to the election. Cross-examined bv Mr.. Sergeant MEREWETZIER—He was engaged in the dcliLeratiors at Denham House with Mr. J. Williams. 'All the SoliCitors were present. This was the Tuesday evenink previous to the election. Re-examined—These deliberations occurred frequently. Mr. Holmes and others were present at these deliberations. Mr. COCKZURN then desired the witness to stare the con versation which passedhetween himself and Mr. John Williams. • Mr. Sergeant MEREWETIIEn. objected to the question, and contended that Denham House could nut be considered as a Cemmittee-room, - . , and that Mr. Clive could not be held responsible for any conversation which might take place' bet Ween .Ir. Williams and any other person, unless Mr. W.lliarns were . proved to be an agent. Now there was nothing, he contended, to prove agency. The aitiVe. in an' election, or the act of canvassing, was not sufficient to prove agend3c The Learned Sergeant having con cluded his arguments, the rOont was ordered to be cleared, but was shortly re-opened, when The CITA IRMA N announced that the Committee had decided that the question might be put. Mr. REVIS then proceeded to state that on the Sunday night he met Mr. J. Williams outside the Angel Inn, and went in and had some tea with him. They went to the window, and Mr. Williams showed him the two names, Phillips and Wade, and said—" You must manage these." Witness said—" What do you mean to- do? I suppose it will be a very strong contest." He replied—" It will be a hard fight, but if money is to win it, we are to win it." Wit ness asked him what was the amount he was to offer Mr. Wade. He said—" I suppose he will require fifty glineas ;'' witness sail he thought it would require a great dell wore if he did it at all. Witness said, " You recollect at the last clectijn he refused trso/.".Williams said, " Well, if you can get bins of the ssay for les. do;" that was after the conversa , tion as to his n_t voting. He was afraid of his landlord, Mr. Leebmere Charhoe. They flirted with an understanding that it was to be attempted t) put hint out of the way, after a conversation with respect to Phillips leaving it to witness's arrangement. Mr. Williams then left wit , ne is, saving " I reuit see Holmes at Denham House." Witness had been introduced by Mr. Williams's son on the evening previous at Denham House. On that evening, while walking with Mr. Holmes, he wished to know particularly as to the time of witness's leaving Ludlow, in 1828. He aseed witness if he had retained any rooms in the house he had left. Witness mentioned the particulars of the arrangement he had entered into with Mr. Eaton for the purpose of retaining his right of voting. Mr. Holmes told witness he might safely vote. There was also a conversation about Mr. Alcock. Mr. Holmes said, " I understand you are very clever at writing I wish you could write something to attack Mr. Alcoek—there is plenty against him." Witness, in consequence of these di rections, did write something. Witness said he had a friend more clever than hims If at that sort of thing, and he was in structed by Mr. Holmes to go to Shrewsbury to secure the ser vices of that gentleman- On the same evening had a conver sation with Mr. J. Williams cn the subject of the agents , The witness seas ordered to withdraw. Mr. Sergeant ME It EWETH Eit objected to the witness de tailing this conversation with a view of proving through Mr. Williams, the agent, that other persons were also agents. The CHAIRMAN raid that the Committee had decided that the examination should go on. Mr. Bevis being recalled, said tha':he and Williams, the fa ther, walked di.wn to the Feathers' Inn, where this conver sation occurred. Williams said he thought there would ho some difficAlty with the agents, as the intention wa. only to g;ve tin m seventy-five guineas, and there would be sad crumbling. He mentioned the name of Mr. Clarke as being insufficient. — He mentioned the name of Mr. George Morris as a person who did the cause - no good, he had no discretion. Mr. Dansey's name was mentioned several times in the course of that conversation as one of the agents. Witness thinks Dansey was to have more. On the way to the Feathers a man named Gower passed them, and Mt. Williams said Mr. Dansey would secure him awain. Gower had kept a public-house formerly, in which he had failed. Soon after the election he started as part proprietor of the mail from Ludlow to Birmingham. Mr. CoeKin7r, N —Did Mr. Dansey say an 3 thing to you about Jones's vote. Mr. Sergeant MEILEWETIIER objected to the question. . Mr. COCKBUAN examined the witness with a view to prove Dansy's agency, zaal the Committee decided the examination should bp realined. Witness detailed the conversation,but nothing material was elicited. The witness was then examined respect ing a person named Cook. Witness told Williams that Frail, a barber of Shrewsbury, had come to him, and that they went togethar to the Plough Inn, and that Frail had brought a message to him, deEirie7 him to go to Ludlow. Witness also told Williams that he had been - to the 'Plough by - desire of Frail, and seen the money paid to get Cook out of prison ; that Eddowes, the proprietor of the. Salopian Journal, bad got a farmer out of the market to pay the money to Nightingale, the Sheriff's officer. Witness saw the money paid by Mr. Eddowes to the foreman. Cook was a voter of Ludlow, and had always been an active partizan of the Chives. He voted for Mr. Clive at the last election. Witucss went to the prison to relca•e him, and took him with him. There were notes and gold, but witness does not. know the exact amount. Frail came to Ludlow ;he had. a private room at the inn. Knows from Mr. John Williams that Frail was brought over to manage a great deal of the dirty work, and that he had Mr. Haycock's man with him, who was a clever man, and quite au fait at that thing. Mr. Sergeant ltlxutiw•e;rrsr, objected to the proof of Frail's agency, and was proceeding with his argument at the time we went to press. TOTES ELECTION COM 2,NTTEE-(THIS DAY.) Mr. AUSTIN (on behalf of Mr. Baldwin) said this was a double return; bu', before proceeding with the scrutiny, he had to make a preliminary objection. On the 17th of July, a writ, in consequence of a vacancy, was issued to the Sheriff of Devon, who, on the 10th, sent it to the returning officer. On the 19th notice of election was given. The nomi nation took place on the 234., sod on the 24th the pull commenced and terminated. He would show no other notice was given but that of the 19th, and was going to raise a point on the question that, from a defect in that notice, the election was a nullity, the Act of Parliament requiring that five clear days at the least should elapse between the issuing of the notice and the election, whereas in this case only tour clear days' notice had been given. It being contended that the day on which the notice issued was not reckoned. The Learned Counsel argued the point at great length, and quoted a number of cases in support of his objection. Mr. TALBOT, on the part of Mr. Blount and the other Candidate, ably argued, at considerable length, for the validity of the notice, and mainly relied upon a decision of the House of Commons in the year 1711. Mr. AUSTIN having briefly replied, The room was cleared, and the Committee were still deliber ating when we wept to press. (We shall give their decision in our Second Edition.) CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) In the Old Court Josepill was acquitted of the charge of embezzling 91. 65., the property of his master, Mr. Coventry, the Barrister ; and Edward Fellowes and John Henry were also acquitted on an indictment of having committed a burglary in the house of James Hughes, and stolen some plate. In the New Court (before Mr. Alderman Johnson), Paul Weston, charged with stealing some hay and bewas, the pro perty ~f his master Thomas Kenrick, and Abraham Miller, charged with receiving the same, were also acquitted.
