Neither the Hon. H. T. Liddell nor Lord Seaham, for aught that the Liberals know, may vet take the field. So far, Colonel Beckwith and Mr. Duncombe Shafto are the only candidates for the representation of Durham in the next Parliament. It may be too much to expect that they will be elected without opposition ; but, at any rate, until the Tories pick up the glove, or betray some inclina tion to do so, the Liberals may very well remain quiet. Should the Tories give them battle, the course of 'w'ion is plain. There must be no distrust or dissen sion amongst the supporters of the Colonel and Mr. Shafto. The great bulk of the Liberal electors will sanction no half measures—no splitting. "Beck with and Shafto," or " Shafto and Beckwith," must be the vote.—Gateshead Observer. SOUTH DUNHAM.—The two divisions of our county are now, in one respect, in the same position. Mr. Hedwo;th Lambton has resigned in the north, Mr. John Bowes in the south. Mr. Lambton's health de mands privacy and ease. Mr. Bowes's purse protests against another contest, The Tories, in fact, have won the election of 1847, by contesting the election of 1841 ; that is, if the Liberals of South Durham per mit a gentleman to whom they are everlastingly in debted, t© be driven out of Parliament by the money power.—Gateshead Observer. HEREFORD.—Mr Brand has responded to a requi sition, and stands for Hereford. AYLESBURY.—Mr. sergeant Byles will be opposed by Lord Nugent at Aylesbury. SOMERSETSHIRE.—A Hampshire paper states, " We hear that Mr. John Wood, the barrister, is likely to be proposed as candidate for Somersetshire, on Pro- testa not principles, in opposition to Mr. Acland." ABERDEEN.—We observe in one of the south country papers a paragraph stating that opposition is threatened to Mr. Bannerman. Nothing of the kind is known here. It was at one time thought that General Arbuthnott would be opposed in Kincardine• shire, but from the number and influence of the names dtached to a requisition to the General, which we ~ ave seen, we feel satisfied that any such opposition would be fruitless. Some of the London newspapers ~ ave been speculating on the results of the contest between Sir Leith Hay and Mr. George Duff in the Elgin Burghs. They evidently do not understand what they are writing about.—Aberdeen Herald. GREENOCK —Mr. Walter Baine, it would appear, does not intend to stand again as a candidate for the representation of this town in Parliament. There has been handed about for signature, under the auspices of Mr Baine's friends, a requisition to Lord J. In Hay, brother of the Marquis of Tweeddale, and a Lord of the Admiralty, to become a candidate at the ennui g el-cticn Mr. Dunlop, advocate, who opposed Mr. Baine on the last occasion, and very nearly defeated him, although he entered upon the field at so late a period es to render his return almost hopeless, pledged himself at that time to stand again whenever a vacancy should occur. Having been in flrmed by his friends of the movement that has been going on in the other party, he came immediately to town, and had a meeting of his committee in the White Hart Hotel. He is to remain in town to pro secute his canvass personally. In the event of a con test taking place, it will, in all probability, be a severs one. DURHAPC—There is a rumour in circulation that Colonel !horns Wood does not intend to offer himself again for the representation of Middlesex, but means to solicit, on the Londonderry interest, the suffrages of the constituency of the city of Durham.—North British Mail. HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN CANTEKBURY.......OII Thurs day last, a man and woman, giving their names George Bates and Sarah Johnson, alias Steele, were had before our city magistrates on a charge of highway robbery, committed it der the following circumstances:—James Hearn, a small farmer of Haroledown, had occasion to come into the city on Tuesday evening, and on his re turn home, at about half-past nine o'clock, was accosted by the female prisoner, at the corner of Water-lane, who asked him for the loan of his umbrela, which he ref used, but offered her shelter under it if she were going his way. This offer she gladly accepted. and in the course of in r talk said she lived as servant close by, and was going for some nested potatoes, she having at the time a plate and cloth. Previous to parting company, he felt her take his purse, but before he got bold of her the male prisoner tn•ed a violent expression, and ran against him, knocking him down.

Mr. Goldham, the clerk of Belingsgate-market, ap peared before the Lord Mayor for the purpose of makit g a representation, at the request of some highly respect able dealers and several of the inhabitants of Billings gate, involving a question of much importance to the poor. An Act had lately passed. which had the effect if repealing the statute of the 10th and 11th of Wild= IV., which permitted the sale of mackerel on Sun days, between the hours of divine service. Now the Act which repealed that statute presented some serious diffi. culties as to the constructions to which it was liable It appeared, in the opinion of some, that the recent Act ex tended to the prohibition of the sale of mackerel gene rally through the metropolis. while o hers thought that it affected the sale of the perishable cominod4y in Bil lingsgate market alone, and that mackerel might he sold on the premises of salesmen which were not connect- d with the market. The market was, of course, completely closed against the vending of mackerel as well as of nth , r fish on Sundays; but two salesmen who resided in the immediate neighbourhood, and who pet the fatter con itruction upon the Act, had opened their premises, and sold away by wholesale on the Sunday, to the great chagrin of the great body of the market salesmen, and the annoyance of the inhabitants, who loiiked for the enjoyment of pesce and qui-'tness on the Sabbath in that locali'y. The partial operation of the Act, under tEese circumstances, was an evil which was very severely f, It. Mr. Goldham, the chief clerk, upon beteg referre , : to by the Lord Mayor, said it app ared to him, judang from the words used in the Act, that the market and the regulations of the market were only meant tit be aff cted, iind that the prohibition did not ex-end to the premises of salesmen, or others throughout the metropolis. There was, however, such remarkable ambiguity in the phraseology of modern Acts of Parliament, that it appeared to be indispensably necessary to consult the framers of Bills themselves on ihe accurate construction of them. The LORD MAYOR—It is my wish to give the mo-t liberal construction of the meaning of all Bills which tend to interfere with the comterts of the peer. To prevent the sale of so p-rishable a fish as mackerel, the very pe rishableness of the nature of which makes it imperative upon the dealers in it to sell it at a rate practicufle to the poorer classes, is what I shoulrr, be very sorry to be called upon as a magistrate to give my s-inction. We ell Know that a very few hours will, in such weather as ee had yesterday, decompose mackerel, and it was on that account that the sale of the article on Sundays was le galised. Ido not know how we can he considered act ing justifiably by doing away with the cheap luxury of that 11.11 upon the only day on which the poor may be able to enjoy it. Mr. Goldham repeated, that as far as he was capable of understanding the Act of Parliament, it merely re ferred to the supply of fish to the market, and the tegu latiens of the market. But perhaps it would be advisable to have the advisers of the measure be'ore the Lord Mayor, in order to ascertain what they really meant by repealing the Act of William which sanctioned so ex cusable a practice. His LORDSHIP adopted the suggestion of Mr. Gold. ham, and directed that the gentlemen who framed the Bill should be requested to attend at the justice room, and intelligibly express their meaning. THE OVERLOADING or STEAM VESSELS.—A gentle• man appeared to complain of the conduct of the pers ins who exercise an authority in the Greenwich steam vessels. His object was, he said, to prevent the destruc tive accidents which, if the magistracy did not interfere, must take place in the river in cons. quence of the ras cally system acted upon by those to whom the manage ment of the boats was entrusted. The LORD MAYOR expressed his gratification at the determination of the public to seek for the protection of the inagistracy in cases in which their authority was no longer questionable. The applicant said that he got into No. 12 Waterman steamer at Greenwich, having under his (ve a little boy. Immediately after he get in such multitudes tril lowed as completely prevented the possibility of his re• turn to the shore, and there he was penned up e ith hundreds until the arrival of the vessel in London. The greatest alarm prevailed on board, particularly amongst the females. many of whom were in tears. and making appeals to the persons who seemed to have authority, but who wholly disregarded, and indeed ridiculed cans plaint. ulthough the water was coming in upon the deck. No effort whatever was to,de at the plice of embarka tion to preveiit a greeter number from entering the b .at than the C ,urt of Aldermen's regulations authorised, au that there remained no alternative to those who got on . hoard but to stay on board, and to run ell the hazard and to endure all the annoyance of the terrine crowd. The LORD MAYOR—Have you a .certained the master's name? The applicant—lt was quite impos , ible to get near the master. We were all era,mmed together, and could not get a foot beyond the position in which we were either way. • When danger was spoken of , the officials laughe d at those who complained. The LORD MAY. it—You must apply to the clerk of the Watetnian's Company for the n..tue of the master, and summon him here. There is plenty of evidence of the commission of a seri ins ofteiice; but a vast deal de pends upon the determination of indivietiale to follow fir complaints of this kind, I can assure you that I 5h..11 in every instance rigorously p- rf inn my duty by forcing the highest penalties for any infringement iif the law. I very much t. ar that the necessary enpressien will not he made until tle hear of some dreadful cattle trOp le in the river. The applicant said that on the continent policemen were stationed at the several places of ealbarkation prevent more persons from embarking than there tip peared to be room and accernmedatioii tor. It was his intention to follow up the complaint. Sir PETER LAURIE stated to tne Lord Mayor that he had just received from Holland the following letter, re biting to that ind e f at i ea bl e nuisance to society, " Joseph Ady," the Quaker. The correspond. nce of Ady new extended to all law could not touc h hi m ( a d e fect certainly disgraceful parts of the world , and as t h e B ritish to the statute-book) his impositions were altogether without bou n d s . " To Sir P e t er L aur i e , D e puty Lord Mayor of London. "My Lord--I have received a lett er from Sir Jose p h Ady, of London, of which I do myse lf the honour to send you a copy herewith, because you r name is found at the h ea d o f i t. I h ope you will not take it ill that I am so bold as to a dd ress you, and ask you to be s o kind as to inf orm me, as agen t of my mother , the widow of Sir Joseph - my late father, Gerard Cornelius Vladeracker—first, whether it is requisite or necessary that I myself, or so mebody authorised be me, should go to London in order to fetch personally the sum of 1.000/. and upwards, awarded to my late father; or whether I can trust the providing of it, to A - t y, w t i h t e eo a u u t th a o n r y o o f b t s h t e ac e l n e unknown to me? in the last- mentioned What documents are demanded mentioned case? and, " Third. sir, the Deputy Lord Mayor, Whether you, will be so kind as to tell me when it was possible, for colorseldarngoetec,owst is what reason, and by what p e rson, the sum of 1,0001. was given or bequeathed to my late father? " I feel great interest in making these inquiries, in order that I may return my thanks, if possible, where they are so justly due. " I request you will excuse me, my Lord Mayor, for the liberty which I, who am unknown to England and ignorant of the British customs, take in addressi sg my self to you, and in recommending wy interests in the affair in question to your Loadship's powerful protection. Bagging you to h onour me with an answe r, I am with tne greatest respect, our servant, " y G. C. VAN VLADERACEEE. " Alkmaar, May 16, 1847. "My address, G. C. V an Vladeracker, ondegracht to Alkmaar, Province Nerd, Holland." Joseph Ady's Communication. " Sir,--e As you would that men should do to you do you even so to them.' " Sir Peter Lew ie, Deputy Lord Mayor of London. —The toidersign, d i s a bl e t o inform you of something considerably to your advantage (value 1,0001. and up wards), on receipt of twenty ebiliinge by order on Mr.. CRAMPTON proceeded to address the Court in support of the rule which had been obtained by the plaintiff in this case. (The arguments adduced yester. day will be found fully reported in our law report of yesterday.) The Learned Gentleman first addressed himself to the alleged misdirection of the Learned Judge —namely, that it was for the jury to say whether the plaintiff had: altancloned the ship, hastily or not, and whether he had or had not used all the means at hand to ascertain the real nature of the injuries which the ship had sustained. He conceived that the sug gestion, that the plaintiff might have acted in haste, might have had a prejudicial effect upon the minds of the jury, and induced them to decide in favour of the defendant. The evidence adduced ut the trial went to show that the plaintiff did not act with haste, that he had the ship carefully and efficiently sur veyed, and only decided upon abandoning the ship when it was clearly ascertained that she had been so injured that she was not worth being carried to a distant port, where she could have been repaired. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to deal with the question of the verdict being against evidence, but Lord DENMAN said—Was it not rather unusual, after a leader had addressed the court or a jury on this point, against evidence which he had himself adduced, for a junior to follow on the same side? Mr. CRAM?TON then concluded by submitting that the plaintiff had made out e, case for a new trial. Mr. CLEASPY followed on the same side, and con tended that the evidence rejected at the trial was a ne cessary part of the case, and that it would have enable(' the Court and the jury to decide whether the ship could or could not have been repaired, and whether she was seaworthy or not. He apprehended that the direction of the Learned Judge was one which might have led the jury to come to an adverse decision. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL wag about to reply, when Lord DENMAN said—We are quite agreed that the course taken at the trial may be very important, as showing altogether the meaning of the direction. We bhonld like, therefore, to see the short-hand writer's notes, the fullest that have been taken. We will con sider the points raised. BAIL, COURT, May 25. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) IN RE TURNER. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., moved for a rule calling upon a gentleman named Turner, an Ilttorney of this court, to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls. It appeared by the affidavit that in the mouth of August, 1845, a gentleman named Beckford was anxious to lend out a sum of money. He applied to 'sir. Turner, who was an attorney at Wolverhampton, in respect of the loan, and on the following morning that gentleman communicated to Mr. Beckford that he himself would borrow the money, which amounted to 6001., and give as security a house and about thirty acres or copyhold premises. Mr. Beckford having looked at the property, and Mr. Turner having told him that it was free from mortgage, \lr. Beektord proposed employing another attorney to arrange the business, but Mr. Turner sari that he did not wish any other attorney to know that he was borrowing money, and that he would do all the business, and would sooner cut off his hand than do anything unfair. A few days afterwards he ' handed to Mr. Beckford three admittances of ano ther party, to the effect that he was seised and possessed of certain premises, as security for the sum of 6001., which was to be repaid as thereinafter mentioned. Mr. Beckford afterwards applied to Mr. Turner for his own admittance, but was informed that it had not acme from London. Having no suspicion, Mr. Beckford permitted the matter to rest until the present year, when he heard that Mr. Turner's circumstances were becoming embarrassed. He applied to some gun tlemen named Foster, attorneys, to inquire into the matter, and it was found by these gentlemen that Mr. Turner had deposited the surrender to himself at a banker's in Wolverhampton, at a period nearly approach ing the time when the advance was received from Mr. Beckford, and that upon the Ist of May in the present year he had executed a legal conveyance to the bank. He (Mr. Martin) aprrehended that these facts were suffi ciently strong to warrant an application of this nature. Application granted. The Court adjourned at an early hour. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 25. ELDERTON V. EVANS! This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Elderton, who had been retained as solicitor to the Church of England Life and Fire Assurance Institution. After a time, however, his services were dispenser with, and an action was brought for compensation. On the trial a verdict was given for the defendant, and a rule was now moved for a new trial or for a nonsuit. The case had been previously part heard. After a lengthened argument, which has occupied the greater part of several days. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICF: gave judgment, and said that he was of opinion that the judgment should be erased in both courts, and that the verdict should be entered for the plaintiff on the first count, and for the defendant on the second count. The whole matter turned upon the meaning of the word " permanent." Now the agree ment had expressly stated that the plaintiff was to be engaged as solicitor for the company fist a certain period, of which no date was givt-n, and which might be con cluded on either side. The defendant had pleaded the general issue, and had done perfectly right in thing so, and this brought them back to the meaning of the word "permanent." lie therefore considered that even if the jury had given a verdict for the plaintiff, the Court would not have given a judgment in favour of the plaintiff: ‘A, i-h reexrd to the second cruet, there did not appear to he arty sufficient consith mtion for retaining the ser ?v f ~th e Phtirn.ff. It appeared furth. r , that t he i veil a'' promise to perform certainduties. 1 .re w 43 Ito evi.;erice that aii her in taw or in ike. there sad mu if a __ ma ` - "on the verdict for tne plaintiff; w trial were to be granted, and a verdict —Yes; thst is right. • Mr. Moseley. on the part of the parochial authorities. applied for a remand till Thursday. as the inquest, which was held yeet••rday. had been adjourned. Mr. Wolff submitted that there was no sufficient case to lustily the detention of the prisoner in custody. Mr. Moseley had no wish to have the prisoner kept in custody, but would be satisfied it he were ordcred to find bail for his appearance. Mr. JARDINE would remand the prisoner till Thurs day, but if two good and sufficient sureties in 501. each were round by the prisoner, he would be liberated. The prisoner not being able to procure the necessary sureties in tune, was removed at two o'clock in the prison van, with the other prisoners who had been corn witted or remanded on various charges in the course o the day.

(From the London New Price Current of May 25.) SUGAR. — Of West India the arrivals have Seen ex tensive since this day week, whilst of other descriptions several parcels have been received ; of all sorts there are heavy arrivals expected. It is now certain that the im portation of Sugar will this season far exceed that of the former one. Although several of the brewers and distil lers in the United Kingdom are working from Sugar, yet merchants have been eager sellers, and having abundantly supplied the market, produced a fall in the value of ad sorts indeed the quantity brought forward has ex ceeded the wants of the home trade as well as exporters. West India has be-n purchased with caution fur all pur poses, although a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt has been submitted to. To-day the Sugar market was closed on account of the Whitsun holidays, but business will be renewed to-morrow with large public sales. REPINED.—Since our last report there has been less activity in the market, whilst the refiners have been more inclined to realise, and submitted to lower rates for all descriptions of goods; but the home trade have operated with caution. Although the consuption is very large, yet prices rule high in comparison with those that exist for Raw Sugar, and the refiners are making preparations to produce an increased quantity. The operations in Bastards have been upon a small scale only, and there is more desire to sell, as the stock is accumulating. Pieces have been in excellent request. Bond, d Crushed Sugar met with less attention for ex port, and there are sellers upon reduced terms ; only a moderate bu,iness has been transacted for immediate or forward delivery ; prices are, however, encouraging, to the refiners, and, in consequence, they are producing an increased quantity.- In Treacle several purchases have been made. Wet Lumps moved off slowly. Dutch Crushed Sugar has been only in moderate demand! B. , Lzian is little wanted. For Loaves made tree onder bond the export demand is not quite so good, but the supply beim:: small of all surts we hare very little varl2,* tion to notice in the value. MAURlTlUS.—Merchants continue to be ready sellers, as the arrivals are not all in for the season, whilst there is a heavy stock here, much exceeding that of last year up to this time. There are sellers by private treaty of all sorts, and at prices rather under those that existed previously, but grocers and refiners have operated with caution. EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal Sugar have been anxious sellers, and having abundantly supplied the market, produced a decline on previous rates of is per ewt ; the demand, hewever, has been good, and the whole offered at public sale, amounting to 4,193 bap, found buyers. Of Sugar there is a large stock here. FOREIGN.—Since our last report holders of Foreign Sugar have been eager sellers, and abundantly supplied the market. Although they submitted to a reduction on former rates of is per cwt, still only a limited demand has been experienced from the home trade, w hilst ex" porters and our refiners working under bond haYe operated with reluctance. The quantity brought for, ward has been greater than for some time, and excee ded the wants of all parties. At auction 953 bags of Chine were sold. COFFEE.—Of West India none has been subd ete public competition since our last report, bat privy there are sellers of all descriptions at a furthe r decline in prices; the home trade, however, operated WW I re : luctance, whilst the stock ' is accumulating , and Viresb India is still dearer than any o ther kind of Coffee.

TEA.—Prices have mproved for black Tea, se there is yet a large supply, but the demand is on the increase. In green many purchases have been made, but there is a heavy stock, and ready sellers at former low quotations ; the common and m iddlin g sorts are the most pressed for sale. There has been little desire evinced to operate in Pekoe Teas, low as prices are .• None has been offered at auction sinc e our last repal whilst, during that time 15,000 pkgs have arrived, an duty was paid on 460,460 lbs. ..rance RiCE.—To-day the market had aver y dull app ace d for all kinds of Rice, and there were sellers upon r"",: - o h. terms.

She was insensible when he went in, had three or four .eep cuts upon her bead, and from a number of black [narks around her neck it appeared as if an attempt had been made to strangle her. A surgeon was sent for, and she talltod for a short time, but soon was attack, d with violent fits, and she was now in a most dangerous condition. During her temporary restoration to consci ollibeas, she stated that it was the prisoner who had so ill-thett her.

TVORSHIP STREET. CRUEL AND UEARTLESS ROBBERY IN A WORKHOUSE. —Three women, rutowd Jones, tra/...h and Coleman err' charged with robbery at the Shoreditch Work house—Coleman being the victor of her son, who is an idiot and an inmate therein; Walsh, her companion, and Jones the nurse of the idiot ward. _ _ -- S - e - Wral of the parish authorities attended on the part of the prosecution. John Smith, gatekeeper of the workhouse, said that Coleman, about seven on Monday evening, who was ac companied by Walsh, was admitted to see her son. Both the females returned in about a quarter of an hour. Perceiving something bulky under the arm of Walsh, he mentioned to her his suspicions. He had them both searched, and upon them were found three loaves of thirteen ounces each, and several pieces of soap. Wit • ness having pressed them to tell where they had got the articles, they at length replied that they had been given to them by Ann Jones, the nurse of the idiot ward. Witness had no doubt that the property belonged to the trustees of the parish, or was the allowance of some of the inmates. Om, of the overseers of the parish said that every pre caution was used in order that the poor idiots should not be plundered of their rations, and be would mention one circumstance in order to show how very necessary this was. A short time since it was the practice to send the tea in its raw state to the nurse of this ward (accord ing to the number of persons therin), that she might make or brew it for them. The authorities of the work house having, however, reason to believe that the poor creatures had little else than water. directed that the tea should thereafter be properly made before it was sent up to that ward. The prisoners' defence amounted to nothing more than a confirmation of their guilt, and Mr. ARNOLD ordered Jones to pay a fine of 51., or one in ,, nth's imprisonment; Coleman, 21. 10s., or three weeks' imprisonment; and Walsh, 21., or fourteen days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The sentence of death pronounced upon Captain Mir,,n fur having surrendered, without striking a blow, to the Arabs who surrounded his detachment, was yes terday reversed by the Court of Cassation, without or. dt-ring any new trial, so that he cannot be again brought before a court-martial or any other tribunal—French Paper. , • - ~~. t , ,,
