A letter et Lloyd's from their agent contradicts the ePort that a cage of cholera had exhibited itself at Eal- , "i* ~~"^ ,~.~. ....r.. mouth on board a vessel from the Black Sea, in the fol lowing terms :—" We beg most unequivocally to contra dict the statement, and to assert not only that nothing of the kind has occurred, and that no epidemic whatever prevails in this locality, notwithstanding the large influx of strangers by recent arrivals. No vessel has been sub jected to quarantine through sickness, and only a few have been placed under temporary restraint front their not being provided with clean bills of health." MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat and Malt up to our market last week were somewhat on the increase—those of all ether articles of grain of home produce small. From Scotland very little Corn came to hand, but upwards of 10,000 quarters of Oats, of the present year's growth. were received from Ireland. The imports from abroad were comparatively small. viz., 7,544 quarters of Wheat, 5,285 ditto of Oats, 1,983 ditto of Beans, 1,960 ditto of Peas, and only 496 barrels of Flour. No foreign Barley came to hand. The receipts of English Wheat fresh up to-day, by land-carriage, were small, but those coastwise were somewhat extensive, and of very inferior quality. Oa tho whole the stands were well filled with samples of both Red and White ; but as the condition—arising from the prevailing damp weather—was bad, the demand was in a very sluggish state at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. We attribute the fall in value to day more to the dampness of the parcels then to any other circumstance. With foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Selected qualities of both red and whi►e were a slow sale at is per quarter less money, while all other kinds were very dull, and quite 2s per quarter cheaper. Very few parcels changed hands for export to the continent. Notwithstanding the show of Barley: was small, that article met a very slow inquiry. The best qualities were mostly disposed of at last weeks prices ; but all other kinds suffered a decline of Is. per quarter. The supply of Malt being more than adequate to meet the wants of the buyers, the trade was in a very depressed state, at a fall in value of quite 6d per quarter, and several small parcels remained even at tne close of busi ness. There were very few Oats on offer. Selected parcels of English and Irish were very firm, at full rates of currency. I❑ all other kinds a moderate amount of business was doing, at late rates. Beans, thoagh a moderate supply, moved off slowly, at but little alteration in value. The sale for Peas was slow ; nevertheless, previous rates were well supported. In dian Corn and Meal were rather dull. The Flour trade was slow, at barely stationary prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

A slight improvement has taken place in the arrivals of foreign Beasts and Calves, but the condition of the. Sheep, Lambs, and Pigs, has again proved very inferior. At the outports, about 1,500 head of stock have been landed, chiefly from Holland. The annexed statement shows the importations of foreign stock from the sth of January to the 10th of October, during the present and the two preceeding years : Oxen Cows 1845. 1846. 1847. ... 7.384 10,308 22,085 ... 4,106 16,797 28,179 ... 543 1,979 20,313 ... 6,918 51,135 98,020 ... 112 2,443 3,015 ... 530 2,880 743 Calves Sheep Lambs Pigs Total ... 19,593 84,542 172,355 The above shows an increase this year over 1845 of 900, and over 1846 of upwards of 100 per cent. The supply of foreign stock here to-day was by no means so heavy as on some previous market days ; nevertheless, it was seasonably large, viz., 520 Oxen and cows, 1,444 Sheep, and 49 Calves, nearly the whole of which were beneath the middle quality. Still, however, a good clearance was effected at full prices. From our own grazing districts the Bullock droves fresh up this morn ing were considerably less than those reported on this day se'nnight, yet not the slightest improvement was noticed in their weight or condition. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering the Beef trade, arising from the large attendance of both town andcountry buyers, was very firm, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. A few of the very primest Scots sold at 5s per 8lbs; but the more general figure for the best Beef was 4s. 10d per Blbs. At the close of the market scarcely any of the beasts remained unsold. The arrivals of beasts by drift and railway from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire, consisted of about 1,400 short horns and runts; from the eastern, western, and midland districts, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots; the remainder of the supply being derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. The supply of Sheep was again on the decrease; hence the Mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, the best old Downs, which were unusually scarce, sold at 5s 2d per 81bs, being a slight advance in the currencies ob tained on Monday last. In all other breeds of Sheep a good business was doing, at very full prices. The supply of Calves was by no means large, yet the Veal trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. Prime small Porkers were in steady request, at fully previous quotations; otherwise the demand was by no means active at late rates. _ _ Ink the offal. Per Albs. to si.._ s. d. to s d. s. d. to s. d.

The arrivals of country-killed meat up to these mar kets since Monday last have been again on the increase, but of very inferior quality. With meat slaughtered in London we have been tolerably well, though not to say heavily, supplied. Prime Beet has moved off steadily, at, in some instances, an advance of 2d per 81bs, while the value of Mutton and prime Pork has been well sup ported, otherwise the demand has been in a sluggish state; yet we have no material alteration to notice in the quotations.

The best parcels of new Hops are in moderate re quest, at prices about equal to those obtained last week; but all other kinds—the supply of which pressing for sale is somewhat heavy —may be purchased at a decline of fully 2s per cwt.

Since the conclusion of the public sales, the demand, privately, has ruled steady, and prices have been well supported in every instance. TALLOW. Owing to the large stock, the demand for all kinds of Tallow still rules heavy, and last week's quotations are with difficulty supported. P. Y. C., on the spot, is 44s 6d to 455, and for forward delivery, 43s 6d to 44s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow—the supply of which is small—is 463 6d to 46s 9d net cash; Rough Fat, 2s 7d per Sibs.

The Lord Chancellor did not take his seat in his court at Westminster to-day, till half-past eleven o'clock, in consequence of having to come from Windsor this morning, where his Lordship had been on a visit to her Majesty. WARE V. ROWLAND. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied his Lordship the whole morning. The case possesses no interest except to the parties concerned. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) GIBBINS V. BOARD OF MANAGEMENT NORTH-EASTERN DISTRICT ASYLUM. This was a cause which came on for re-hearing. It appeared that the plaintiff sold the defendants a piece of ground at Mile-end for the erection of an asylum. The defendants disputed the contract upon the ground that it was not completed, the plaintiff not having made a legal title, which, however, the plain tiff had offered to do. The arguments having concluded, The MASTER OF TIIR ROLLS considered that the contract must be vitiated by the negotiations that had taken place with reference to the question of title. His Lordship granted a decree for the specific per formance of the contract, with a reference to the Master to inquire if the plaintiff could give a good title. VICE -CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard causes to. day. WASTELL V. LESLIE. This case came before the Court to-day, upon the question whether the sum of 821/. 6s. 6d. ought to be allowed for the expenses of an accountant in making out the accounts of the estate of the testator, who previous to his death kept a lunatic asylum in the neighbourhood of Hoxton. The Master had reported against the allowance of the amount, but no exceptions had been taken to his report. His HONOUR thought the amount ought to be allowed, and ordered accordingly. (Before Sir J. WIGRAII.) JONES V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAIL- WAY COMPANY. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding with a portion of their works, till the decision of a court of law had been obtained, as to their exact powers, and the rights of the plaintiff under the General Act. His HONOUR delivered judgment this morning. The plaintiff was the occupier of a public-house, back of which was a small cutilege, bounded by a wall, and having no entrance or exit, except by the house. The defendants, under the powers of their Act, proposed to' carry . their railway, back of the house, at an elevation in no part exceeding thirteen feet. The, plaintiff contended that the defendants were bound to purchase the cutilege, which they denied, and claimed to have the question decided by law ; to facilitate which they admitted that the messuage, or yard in question, was a cutilege. The only point he bad then to decide was, as to what way he should deal with the case in the mean time. Plaintiff said that the., railway would obstruct the light, deteriorate his store of liquors, and destroy his trade, and therefore that he ought at once to be paid for his house, and to be placed in a position to remove to some other place and there establish him self in business. The plans and models showed clearly that the work Of the railway would deteriorate the light and air of plaintiff's premises, and there was no evidence to show that the defendants would be im peded in the construction of their line if they post poned their works at the plaintiff's premises till after the trial. The conclusion to • which be came was that the injunction should then be granted, with liberty to the defendants to apply to dissolve it before the question at issue was decided, in case the opening of the railway should be prevented, or any other in convenience sustained by them. He believed in this case he acted according to the authority laid down by the Lord Chancellor. The decree was accordingly made. QUEEN'S BEN CH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) AN ATTORNEY STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS.— IN RE CHARLES MASSEY WOOD V. I'ORTARLINGTON. At the sitting of the Court to-day, Lord DEr n uAN gave judgment in this case. He said—On the first day of the present term an appli cation was made to the Court to rescind a rule which was made absolute last term, directing that Charles Massey, an attorney of this Court, should be struck off the rolls, for attempting to suborn a person named Josiah 'Wallace, to give false evidence in the case of " Wood v. the Earl of Portarlington. It was an action to recover two bills of exchange which had been drawn upon the defendant, and held by the plaintiff. The Court had looked into the affidavits on the part of the prosecution, and also into those on which they were called upon to rescind the rule The Court had thought the fact charged proved, and though 'much imputation was cast upon the general character of Wallace in this proceeding, it appeared to the Court that Mr. Massey had admitted enough in his own affidavit to convict him of the offence with which he was charged. The case was tried at the Summer assizes held at Lewes last year, and Wallace was to be called to testify to the handwriting of the defendant. It appeared that Messrs. Pyne and Richards had been the defendants' E olic i tors, and that Mr. Massey had been employed by the defendants to conduct this matter. 'Wallace was their clerk. The deposition drawn up by Massey stated that Wallace would state that he was present when the plaintiff Wood admitted that the bills were given for losses at play, but the words—" Query 51. !" appeared in pencil in the margin. This the Court had thought a bribe given to the witness, for the pur pose of inducing him to give false testimony, and expressed its .unhesitating opinion that this was his in tention. He swore he did not know what caused him to write the words : he did not even enter into a conjecture, nor did his counsel offer any plausible excuse in palliation of it. He, however, swore he did not mean to give it as a bribe. With this blot on his conduct—with his memory still at fault, and with a distinct admission of the falsehood of the evidence, the Court was now required to reverse its judgment, and to allow Mr. Massey to practise as an attorney of that Court. The affidavits of Mr. Pyne, who had been struck with paralysis, and who had been unable to attend to his professional duties during the dis cussion of the rule, stated that a person calling him self Coin, whom he believed to be Wood, called upon theformer,and admitted that the money was lost at play. Subsequently the deponent ; recollected that 'Wallace was present at two interviews which he had with this person, and added that Wood afterwards called and said he should not proceed, as he had admitted some time before that the bills were given for gambling considerations, and that he led Mr. Massey to believe that Wallace knew these facts. Now there was no proof that the plaintiff had so called, and it was strange that the particulars of these interviews, and the admissions made at them, were not recorded, and if 'Wallace had been present the Court could not con ceive why his name had not been recorded as a wit• ness. But Mr. Pyne did not even now distinctly state that 'Wallace was present. The Court, there fore, upon a careful consideration of the whole of the 'facts, had come to the conclusion that Mr. Pyne never gave Mr. Massey such information as that stated, and that if Mr. Pyne had been persuaded he did, that he must have fallen into an error. The ' affidavits with respect to the character of Mr. Massey were not important. The respectable persons who had pronounced that in their opinion Mr. Massey was incapable of offering a bribe, would, on the other 'hand, have no reasonable doubt if his handwriting was shown to them that it was his. There was one affidavit which the Court could not /overlook. It was one by a person named Francis Ray nard, stating that one Frederick Fisher had told him something. The statement was one merely of a hearsay character, and was placed completely aside when the Court formed its opinion ; and the rmnooeltlasn: C saa o sok u fei r t fi t uxsei t ho of u s g u h e t h ta ffi h a d t a v L i t e s a , r e n x e c d e p tCounsel as sh t o h u e l y d i s ad t sa r sni e st t t ytt that aa r tn e a ho t et e h d e( r t to ri t e. h e e it . s ea u s b se j et e ry c i )k t e h u a n iud d e r r .o ff d e e r b e a d t e Massey , or as a averredng a date. th a t so T m h e i s n a e ffi affidavit t toldwould the rather d efen m o . ff to th a e person to prove the fact he was desirous to prove,but that he declin e d it. T he Court believed that M Massey was guilty o f th e offence imputed to him. r. For the penal conse quences wh i ch might result him he was alone to blame, and the Court hoped that its decision, with respect to him, would act as a warning to others. They thought that no one should practise in that Court who. had committed such an act. Those who thought him worthy of their ' confidence might employ him in some subordinate capacity, but the Court could not allow him to prac tise longer in that court, and to rank with honour able men. The Learned Chief Justice was particularly emphatic at the conclusion of his address. He added, Mr. Massey's name was not struck off the rolls when the order was made. We cannot understand why this was so. We think upon such, occasions that the roll ought to be brought before us, and that the name of the person should be struck off in our presence. The name was then struck off the roll by the Master. THE QUEEN V. DOUGLAS. Captain Douglas, the defendant, was found guilty in this Court sometime ago of receiving money from the Raja of Tangore contrary to the statute and his duty as an officer in the East India Company's service. He now appeared on the floor of the Court ; and The ATTORNEY•GENERAL (with whom was Sir F. Thesiger) prayed the judgment of the Court upon him. Sir F. KELLY moved arrest of judgment on various '413 - ;~~; i grounds, but after a short discussion .the , itirther hearing of the case was adjourned for a week, in order to enable the defendant to add to his affidavits. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. THE GUARDIANS OF SHEFPY. Mr. PAsury applied for a rule calling upon the guardians of the Sheppy Union to show cause why an information should not be filed against them l'or improperly discharging their duties. Some time ago Jane Nightingale and her child became chargeable to the parish, her husband having left her destitute xt Minster. She was married at Plymouth, and having expressed a wish to be passed to her parish, the guardians had her before them, and, it appeared gave instructions to the relieving-officer to see her re moved. The master of the workhouse accompanied her to the pier, and gave her fifteen shillings to pay her passage with, telling her that, as soon as she got to London, she would find a Plymouth boat. ller passage to London, food, and a bed for herself and child, nearly consumed the whole of the money, and the poor creature was compelled to walk to Store house, near Plymouth, and to beg her way along, the journey occupying her six weeks ! The next afk davit on which he moved was that of Lucy kit now an inmate of the Medway Union. She 111 . 0.1 similar circumstances, received 2s. 6d. to, g. expense of her journ e y. Sh e app li ede f or , •i 4 into the Chatham Union, although at first tensed, because no order had been sent with her, The was directed, in fact, to proceed there and demand ad mission. The Learned Counsel said he grounded his application on the affidavits of the clerk of the Medway Union. Mr. Edmead, the clerk of the Sheppy Union, had stated that the directors, finding the settlement of Ingram to be at Chatham, requested that union to receive her from them without the ex pense of an order. The COURT granted the application. EXCHEQUER. —(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in banco.) The Court was occupied during the day with ar guments in special cases. The majority of cases brought before the court were sent from one or other of the chancery courts, and the details were utterly devoid of interest to any, other parties than those imm e di a t e l y interested. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied during the day in hearing cases of appeal under the Registration of Voters Act. TOMS, APPELLANT V. LIJCILETT, RESPONDENT. Mr. ROMPTON stated that the appellant in this case, Moses Toms, was struck off the last register for' the city of London, by Mr. MTbristie, the revising barrister. The particulars of the case, as stated by the barrister for the opinion of the. Court were to the following effect. The appellant occupied the first floor, consisting of two rooms, at 21, .Milton-stret.i., City, for which he paid a rent of ss. 6d. a week, and had resided there for the last year and three quarters The landlord occupied a shop on the ground floor, but did not sleep there, and three other persons 'who had distinct apartments, lived upstairs. Each of the parties who resided in the house had separate keys; and were at liberty to lock and unlock the front door whenever they pleased. The door was never bolted or fastened inside at night, and during the day it remained open. The question tclkr e ..' fore was, whether, under the circumstances stated the occupation of the appellant was such an occupation as entitled him to vote under the Reform Act. On behalf of the appellant, it was , contended , th a a p t a a r s t h o e f had a key of the , outer door, and as the landlord did not reside in the house, but merely occupied it, that the landlord's occupation did not prevent the' appellant being enfranchised. On the other hand, it was urged that as the appellant had not the exclusive control of the outer door, he was a mere lodger, and was not entitled to vote. The revising barrister held' that the objection had been sustained, and expunged the appellant's name from the register. Mr. Cromp ton now submitted that the appellant had a distinct occupation of the premises, and was entitled to have his name on the register. In support of his argument he referred to the cases of Wright v. Town -clerk of Stockport, 5 Manning and Grainger, p. 33 ; Pitts v. Smedly ; and Score v. Huggett, 7 Manning and Grainger, p. 95. In the' latter case it was decided that the occupier of part of a house, who had the key of the outer door, and where the landlord did not occupy any portion of the premises, was entitled ao vote. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Mr. John Brewer, a gentleman of independent property, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Mr. Thomas Archer, carver and gilder, No. 3, Queen-street, Oxford-street. The complainant stated that on Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock, as he was entering his house with his supper beer, his attention was called to the defendant, who appeared to be attempting to commit a nuisance down complainant's area. He told him that he must not commit a nuisance there, but if he walked a little way down the street he wouldifind a proper place, away from the public gaze. The de • Pendant went away, but shortly after returned, and spoke to two females who were in the street. Coin plainant thinking that the defendant had merely pre tended to go to the proper convenience, walked up to him and told him so, whereupon he (defendant) knocked him down and broke the jug containing the beer. Complainant called out " Police," and after some time a constable came up and took defendant into custody. In ireply to the charge the defendant said, on Saturday night he was waiting in Queen-street for a lady and her servant, who had been to the Princess's Concert Rooms, when the complainant came up to him, and in a very abrupt manner asked him if he intended to commit a nuisance ? He said " Cer tainly not; why do you ask such a question ?" Com plainant replied "D ---n your eyes, if you do intend to do so I will give you in charge." Defendant at that moment saw the lady whom he was waiting for, and went up to speak to her, while doing so, the com plainant came up, and seizing hold of his collar, called him a d—n liar. He e x p os t u l a t e d with com plainant upon his strange conduct and desired him to leave hold of his coat collar. Complainant refused, and a struggle ensued, the result of which was the downfall of complainant. A constable shortly after came up, and, by order of complainant, took him into custody. D e f en d an t h a d several wit nesses who witnessed complainant's strange conduct. Mr. Harry Burke, 30, Half-moon-street, was then called, and proved that the complainant's coi,auct was violent in the extreme. He saw him holding defendant by the collar, and heard him apply several foul epithets to him. The servant of the lady men ti one d by defendant a lso proved seeing complainant first strike defendant. She also heard him call defendant by several foul names. Mr. BINGHAM said comp l a i nan t h a d a cted very unadvisedly, and without the least provocation on the part of defendant. He should therefore discharge him. Wm. Walker, an assistant to a chemist and drub • gist, was placed at the bar charged with assaulting police-constable E 103. ' It appeared that complainant was on duty in Ox ford-market about four o'clock on the previous after noon, when he saw the prisoner and another man knocking at the door of a public-house. As it v. as Divine service at the time he requested them ;;o desist and to go away. They promised to do so, and com plainant proceeded round his beat. When he re turned, they were still knocking at the door, with more violence than before. He told them to go away 'again, or he must take them into custody. He was `on the point of leaving them when the prisoner's com panion came behind him and struck him a violent blow on the back of his head. The effects of the blow was such that he was some seconds before he had power to look round him, when he saw the pri soner and the other man running up the street. He 'pursued them, and after a sharp run succeeded in taking the prisoner into custody. The other man w made his escape. The prisoner, who pleaded drunkenness as the cause default,of his committing be the imprisonedin offence, the H as ouse of CorrMtion fined 405., or, in .for twenty-one days. Mary Ann Geary was charged with stealing iazo lume of the " Whole Duty of Man " from the s op of James Ripnell, 54, Goodge-street. The prosecutor was in his shop on Saturday even ing, when he saw the prisoner come up to his shop window, and, after looking round her, tak e th e b ook from the shelf, and walk away with it. He pursued her and gave her in charge. Police-constable'l4 E, said he took the prisoner into custody, and found the book in her possession. He also found a tin teakettle in her possession, which quantity contained a large piece of soap an d , a • of stay laces, the whole of which he had ascertained she had stolen. The prisoner, was remanded till Thursday next. ii o ingiisuied orth t a at t i The Ministers w ill h ave a meeti n Wedn es d ay ng ( s to the o i n next, t John Ministers the day previous to, the m eet i ng of Parliament, T e jo ai i n ilsituesrsse to l h dinea‘' vi,itl s h m Cabinet Lordship's private residence in Chesham- p l a a y e , e , at ii l t i i i s .. grave-square.

LOSS OF NINETY-ONE LIVES. (From the Liverpool Albion of this day.) We regret to annonnce the total loss of the New York packet-ship Stephen Whitney, off the south western coast of Ireland, on the night of 'Wednesday last; and the disaster, it appears, has, unhappily, been accompanied with the loss of ninety-one lives. The details of this lamentable disaster, attended with a loss of life so extensive, are not yet fully in our possession ; but from the subjoined letter received from the Comptroller of Customs at Skibbereen ' and kindly placed in ou r h an d s by Messrs. Smith and Co., of Water-street, it will be perceived that of the main facts mentioned there can be no question. " Skibbereen, Nov. 12, 1847. " I send you a very bad account of a wreck, as you may know some of the merchants concerned. The packet-ship Stephen Whitney, from New York to Liverpool, totally lost on the West Calf (an island of Scull), on the 10th inst., at ten P.M. the master (Popham) drowned. She had on board a general cargo; crew and passengers, 110 ; 91 lost; viz. : passengers, 76, and the master and crew, 15 ; 20 were females, and 3 children. The names of the cabin passengers lost were Mrs. Thom, English ; Mr. Roberts, New York, merchant; Mr. M'Cabe American ; Dr. Sweeny, Irish ; Mr. Robinson, Liverpool." TILE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER.—ARRIVAL OF TIIE CoNGE D'ELIIIE.—At length this long expected docu ment has been received. It reached Manchester through the post, on Thursday evening last, and was delivered to the Very Rev. the Dean. The canons at present in tow n are the Revs. C. D. Wray and Oswald Sergeant, We believe it is likely that a chapter will be held on W ed nesday next, for the election of the first bishop of Man chester. The conge d'elire is a royal license, under the great seal, granting permission to the dean and chapter to proceed to the election of a bishop. It is accom panied by a letter-missive, which contains the name of the person they shall elect, and they may not legally elect any other. It is needless to add that the name in this letter-missive is that of the Rev. James Prince Lee. The consecration of the new bishop will take place in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, on the 28th inst.—Man chester Guardian. A HINT TO THE LADIES.—The Nottingham Journal states that a singular fraud has been successfully at tempted by some laceworkers, who have given to cotton the appearance of silk. Silk thread is dissolved by a chemical process, and after the cotton thread has been drawn through the solution thus obtained it has the gloss and appearance of silk : thread, from which the eye can not distinguish it.

Laing and Bruener's circular • two columns of Marylebone important meeting at Vestry Court-house ; full parti culars of the suicide of Count Bresson; the negottetor of the Royal Spanish marriages ; death and a memoir of Mendelssohn Bartholdy ; art and artists, &c. HULL, Nov. 18.—Last evening a meeting of the Liberal electors took place in Marlietllace Waro, for the purpose of selecting a fit and proper person es coun .cillor, in the room of Mr. Forrester, lately elected an alderman. There were. two candidates proposed, 'but the large majority of hands held up for Mr. Thomas Mitchell places his el( ction for the office beyond a doubt. Indeed, it is a compliment Mr. Mitchell richly deserves for his straightforward and unflinching conduct during a churchwardenship of ten years, held to the satisfaction of the greater portion of the parish of Holy Trinity. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Last evening, about five o'clock, the clerks at the Manchester station of the Commercial Electric Telegraph received by the instru• ment the gratifying announcement that the wires were all connected, and that the communication was now r s quite completed, and ready for the transmission of in telligence throughout to the metropolis; and the best proof of this was given immediately afterwards, by the transmission to Manchester of the closing prices in the money market and the share market up to four o'clock, and also of the corn market, Mark-lane, to its close. The route of the telegraphic wires would be called circuitous, if the swift elemental fluid did not virtually annihilate distance. From Manchester, the wires ex tend to Normanton, where there is a telegraphic station; thence along the North Midland line to Derby, where also there is a telegraphic station; thence by the Midland Counties to Rugby, where there is another telegraphic station; and thence by the London and North Western line direct to Euston-square, where this and other northern lines of telegraphic communica tion are conected with those extending to the south and south-eastern coast. 01 these, the principal now open are those having telegraph termini at Dover, at Gos port, and at Southampton. With these ports, we, in Manchestet, may now communicate in a few minutes. As the telegraph stations are now open day and night, of course any important intelligence can be transmitted throughout the kingdom with a speed sur • passirg every need of even this railway age.—Manches ter Guardian. NORTH AMERICAN MAIL.—On Saturday, notice was issued and affixed at the General Post Office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, that the Britannia would convey the mails of the evening of the 18th instant for British North America, Bermuda, and the United States, which would be the last semi monthly mail dispatched till the month of April, 1848. THE APPROACHING POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL. —Au unusually full meeting of the committee for con ducting this entertainment was held on Saturday last, at Guildhall. After an address from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., expressive of his confident hope that the present meeting would exceed all which had preceded it, Mr. Carr, the honorary secretary, announced that, notwith standing the late pressure in the money market, the sale of tickets was proceeding much better than in former years, and that the present arrangements far surpassed all the previous ones in splendour. It is expected that a great number of the patronesses will be present upon the occasion. HANDLING " FILTHY LUCRE."--At the City Police Committee, on Saturday, a number of• Jew sales men, carrying on business in Duke-street, St. James's place, &c., in the vicinity of Houndsditch, were fined in sums varying from five shillings and costs to the amount of expenses for having casks and fruit baskets placed upon the foot-pavement. The defendants said they could not pay the fine that day, being their Sab bath. If the officer called they might get it, or if the bench allowed they would send the amount on Monday. Sir P. Laurie—Not pay, indeed, on the Sabbath ! Will you receive any money on that day ? One of the do tendants—Ah, your worship, that's quite a different thing. Of course we do.—(Laughter.) Sir Peter Laurie—l thought so—receive all, and pay none. Mr. Alderman Wilson—Well, I do not wish to interfere with your form of religion. Pay the fines on Monday, at the Guildhall justice room. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—MT. Mills held an in quest on Saturday at the Sir Isaac Newton, Union street, Marylebone, on Henry Dymark, aged fifty eight. It appeared that the deceased, who had been a servant in the employ of Mr. Schweppe, mineral and soda-water manufacturer, Berners-street, for thirty years, had lately, through family quarrels, indulged in drunkenness. On Wednesday night he returned to his lodgings, 4, Union-street, where he cohabited with a woman, having deserted his wife. That woman was not then at home, and he went in search of her. After Some time lie found her in a public-house drinking, and asked her to accompany him home, which she re fused doing. He then deft her, and returned to his lodgings. Shortly afterwards, his son, a young boy, went into the room, and seeing something ,white as he thought standing in it, ran down stairs and continued playing in the street for an hour afterwards, and then returned to the room and struck a light, when he found that the object in white was his father, who had hanged himself from a staple that he had fastened in the ceil ing. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." SUICIDE.—On Saturday morning Mr. John Mills, a master baker, in Short's-buildings, Clerkenwell, hanged himself in his bakehouse. The unfortunate man was much respected, and at present no reason is assigned for the dreadful act. J. Drinkwater Bethune, Esq., some time Parlia mentary Counsel at the Home-office, is appointed to suc ceed Charles Hay Cameron, Esq., barrister-at-law, as President of the Indian Law Council, and Member of the Supreme Council at Calcutta.

THE CITY COUNTY COURT...—OH Saturday Mr. Commissioner Bullock had no fewer than 102 cases to dispose of, and, by his decisions and impartiality, gave much satisfaction in almost every case, the oppressive creditor and the dishonest debtor being the only parties to find fault. REPRESENTATION OF STOCKPORT.—We again beg to assure our townsmen, that as soon as a vacancy shall be declared, by the resignation of Mr. Cobden, it is the intention of the Conservative party to bring forward a gentleman whose claims to the suffrages of the electors will, we think, be not only unquestionable, but uncle niable.—.stockport Advertiser.

A public meeting of the friends of this society was this day held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of hearing an explanation of .the principles and objects of the League. The chair was taken at one o'clock by Dr. Bow ring, M.P. The meeting was tolerably well attended. Among those present we observed Colonel Thompson, M.P., G. Thompson, M.P., P. A. Taylor, Esq., jun., &c. The CHAIRMAN, in commencing the business of the meeting, took occasion to say, that the object of the meeting was to give full publicity to the objects sought to be obtained by the People's International League. It was the opinion of that society that nations were mutually dependent upon each other, even as individuals were, and that it was their duty to assist the cause of emancipation and civil freedom, and to resist anarchy and oppression. It was to be regretted that the voice of the people of England had not more frequently, and more loudly, been heard in the conflicts which were now being carried on. Every word of encouragement uttered from this country gave new life to thousands who were strug gling against oppression and terror. If they looked to Greece, " the land where all except its sun was set,"—should that land be given over to Bavarian op. pression ? Portugal too ! Who was there that did not desire to see these nations free as their own native land. Spain ! the land of romance—that country in which the people of Arragon of old stood up so nobly and manfully for their rights at Saragossa. France ! Was that country to be delivered over, after the " three glorious days," to the principles and conduct of those who now sought to enthral her ? Italy! of which - one of her most eloquent writers once said, when told that her people were slaves, " True, we are slaves, but we are indignant slaves." There was no doubt that, under the guidance of the enlightened individual who now filled the Papal chair, that country would still advance in the cause of glorious liberty. Poland ! the land which anarchy and despotism had sought to repress, would, he hoped, ere long, again enjoy its ancient liberty,; and he was happy to see that this country had never sanc tioned that infamous partition. The Hon. Chairman then called upon the Secretary to read the report. The report thaving been read, which set forth the proceedings of the League during the past year, Colonel THoMPsoN, M.P., stood forward to pro pose the first resolution. There was no doubt , that foreign affairs had occupied too little of the time and attention of the people of this country, but he hoped that the meeting would not for the future consider that a few ,heurs-each day devoted to the considera tion of the subject would be thrown away. The re solution he had to propose was— " That it is our duty as a free nation to inform ourselves full3r upon all matters bearing on the con-. duct and polky, of our Government, whether at home or abroad; and that our relations with foreign , nations, and their social and 'political manifestations and progress, demand at the present time an especial and increased share of our interest and censideration." Was there anything in that resolution to find fault with ? No. •lf this country were the first-born of liberty, and more highly favoured than some of the other countries in the world, it was their duty to endeavour to help torward the cause of liberty in those countries. The present were most important and stirring times, and it was right that this country should be made fully acquainted with the condition of the countries in Europe. In Italy, 'Switzer land, and France, the spirit of liberty was struggling, and nothing tended more to foster that spirit , than did the symiiathy of the people of this country. Spain andTortugral also demanded the fullest consideration of the people of this country. But Europe was not the only continent demanding attention. Look to America. He 'was sorry to see thatrepublic advancing in a course of brute conquest which would disgrace any of the proceedings under the most absolute of the sovereigns of Europe. Look at their conduct in hanging the bodies of fifty Irish men who had left the American army because they would not be led to fight against their religion and in the cause of injustice. The hon. and gallant speaker went on with considerable huthour to read a number of extracts from an American " Guide Book," in which the author most magniloquently soliloquised upon an idea that the child was then born in the "far west" who might yet live to see 50,000 American§ reviewed in St. James's-park, and the modest banner of the stars and stripes of the United States floating in the breeze from the lofty towers of Windsor Castle, and the summit of the Horse-guards, and concluded by calling the attention of the meeting to the state of India, and the importance of fully understanding the whole of its ccnditions. Mr. P. A. TATOR, jun., seconded the resolution, and in doing so took occasion to acknowledge the obligations which the League owed to a portion of the press, and found considerable fault with the op position which it had experienced f.o.n the Times newspaper, the proprietors of which he accused of knowingly, intentionally, and wilfully, perverting facts in its columns. Mr. ISAAC WILSON moved as an amendment that the word " free" should be struck out of the resolu tion ; the fact of thin nation being now engaged in a severe struggle for freedom not being consistent with the wording of the resolution. Colonel THOMPSON, M.P., seconded the amend ment. The resolution, ai amended, was then unani mously agreed to. GEORGE THOMPSON, M.P., proposed the second re solution, which was as follows: " That in order to bring to bear upon the foreign policy of this country the beneficial influence of public opinion, it is of the greatest importance to ob tain and circulate accurate and systematic informa ticn concerning the political condition and relations of foreign countries, to disseminate the principles of national independence and progress, and to promote a good understanding between the people of this and all other countries ; and that these being the objects of the People's International League, that associa tion is entitled to our warmest approval and support." Mr. LINTON seconded the resolution which was with the former, unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) TOMS, APPELLANT, V. LUCKETT, RESPONDENT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. GROVES was heard on the part of the respon dent, and contended that the decision of the revising barrister was perfectly correct. He cited the case of " Wansey v. Perkins" as bearing closely upon the con struction put upon the statute by Mr. M'Christie. The CHIEF JUSTICE, after consulting his learned brethren, said, as the case of " Downing v. Luckett," No. 12 on the list, involved to a considerable extent the same point, the Court was desirous that it should be heard before they gave their decision. His Lordship observed that it referred to a counting house where the occupier had no key, but where an agent of the landlord, acting for the convenience of all the occupiers of the house, had a key with which he opened the outer door in the morning and shut it at night, DOWNING, APPELLANT, V. LUCKETT, RESPONDENT. Mr. CROMPTON, who was also engaged in this case, then read the particulars of it, which were as follows : —Mr. H. P. Downing had occupied a counting-house at 11, Mark-lane, for three years, At a rent of 201. per annum. Six other parties, beside the landlord, occupied offices in the same house. There was also only one entrance to it, which was through a spring iron gate, that was kept sometimes open and some times shut. There was also a large wooden gate which was opened during the day, and shut at night. A person, who was employed by the landlord, lived in the house with his family, for the accommodation of the occupiers, and for the purpose of protectin g the premises. The revising ,barrister decided that the appellant was not entitled to be on the register. Mr. Crompton's arguments, on the part of the appel lant, were a repetition of those urged by him in the preceding case. Mr. GROVES was briefly heard in reply. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, in the case of Toms and Luckett, the question referred to the Court was very limited in its character. After stating various cir cumstances it proceeded to say,that it was contended on the part of the appellant, that as the landlord did not reside on the premises, but merely occupied a part of them, and that as the appellant - had a key of the outer door, the landlord's occupation did not pre ventu him being enfranchised, and that he ought to be registered. Toms had ha l d t nwuasobjected on c ontrol the of exclusive and that he was merely a lodger. Now (t he C hi e f otherthe o u htaenrddr that e, 'Justice) was of opinion that the objection was not well founded, and that the absence o f exclusive control over the outer door ought not to interfere with the appellant's right to vote. It seemed to him that the apartment occupied by the , a ppellant might well be considered as a separate exclusive note dwelling, and that he must therefore be looked upon las a tenant. The revising barrister, it appe are d , h ad respect that at exiv a found him qualified in every other rb of the control of the outer door ; .essential to his proper qualification, and he was o f ,opinion that the appeal oug ht to beallowed, appellant's name res t ore d to the and th e judges concur re d in the register.

Appeal accordingly allowed. MONEY-MARKET and CITY NE WS.. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING TIMES.—The English funds opened this morning at an advance of nearly three-quarters per cent., from which up to the close of the day they have not under gone much reaction. was The announceds toppag oe this il in le o. s r s n r i s n g G . u n T d r h y e ' scol3ncreidrnP°wltas Bank in 1790, and it had branches at Beaminster, Lyme Regis, Chard, and Axminster. It was an issuing bank, and its authorised circulation was 24,6921., of which, according to the last retur n s, it had fully availed itself'. L ocal advances, to' au imprudent extent during the present times, are: understood to hays been the cause of the suspc-n -shin, but it is confidently believed that the partners possess property, and that the liquidation will not prove an unfavourable one. The total debts are re presented to be of moderate amount. Glyn and Co., the London agents are fully covered. Advices from Amsterdam announce the failure of J. 11. Rupe and Son, sugar refiners The liabilities are not stated, but it is feared, from what is known of the business of the house, that they cannot be much below 100,0001. The amount that will fall upon this country is 18,0001. The letters from Liverpool and Manchester con tinue, on the whole, to be of a favourable cbaracter. From the latter place an increasing business in pur chases is still spoken of. In letters from Hull it is mentioned, that "although the Bank of England branch keeps up its high rate of discount, the private bankers charge only five per cent. to their regular customers.". The private letters from New York by the French steam-ship Missouri do not bring any intelligence of much importance. At the date of her departure the strongest anxiety was felt as to the character of the news likely to be received by each successive arrival from England. Most persons in America, looking calmly for the last year or two upon our mad career, had anticipated a serious convulsion, but the accounts that had at length reached them had gone beyond their expectations. " A leading London merchant; says one writer, "has written to a friend here, saying that he looked for a cr as h b e f ore many days that would shake the whole community,' and this has caused great talk on 'Change, and general alarm. Influenced," it is added, " by a statement of this kind there are many who instead of r em itti ng t o L on d on, in time to provide for acceptances on their account falling due, may be likely to delay them till they hear of such acceptances being actually paid; thus aiding the catastrophe." With regard to the rate of exchange, it. Was doulbted if it would go higher than the quotation which then prevailed, namely, 91 to f. ".We do not anticipate," it is remarked, " that much specie will' be sent to you. Such as goes now is transmitted chiefly. by, parties who are afraid of all bills, and who do not', mind losing the difference. We understand , that some of the principal London, houses urge their agents to send gold." On the question as to the supply of breadstuffs'we have the following paragraph :—" If many bread stuffs are wanted on your side this winter, we think, under the present shattered state of credit, gold must be sent out to buy them. There is a desire to ship flour and grain if advances could be got, but houses feel the necessity of being very guarded." The creditors of S. S. Curtis, hide and leather factor, met to-day, when the statement laid before them showed assets capable of realising 4s. 10d. in the pound on debts and liabilities amounting to be tween 17,000/. to 18,0001. The offer made by Mr. Curtis was to pay a composition of ss. in the pound by instalments, at periods of three, six, and nine months, the last instalment t o b e secure d ; an d t hi s proposal, after some discussion, was accepted. It appears that the great deficiency in the accounts of Mr. Curtis has arisen from the difficulties encoun tered by him in struggling with the insolvent estate which he took up at the date of his father's decease. Letters from Alexandria to the end of October quote the rate of exchange upon England at 971 to 98. Shipments of grain to this country could be effected at 7s. 6d. per quarter. The markets at this date were rather dull, owing to the unfavourable in telligence of commercial affairs on this side.
