(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 24.) SUGAR.-Our report of the proceedings in the raw Sugar market is at length of a mure favourable nature, the home trade having operated with more freedom this week, whereas merchants are less dis posed to press sales, and a rise in the value of most descriptions of Colonial has taken place. Slave labour cannot be obtained at any further reduction, and the supply is decreasing. There is, however, no improve ment observable in the demand from exporters. From all quarters the arrivals have been trifling since we last wrote. For West India the demand has been good, and the rates obtained generally exhibit an advance on those previously current of 6d per cwt. The purchases pri vately for the three market days amounted to 1,250 hhds and tres. REFINED.—There is yet a favourable opinion enter tained towards Refined Sugar by the home trade ; the supply is small, whilst the town and country demand has been active all the week, and for every description. The rates obtained are fully equal to those previously cur rent, and in some cases above. For Wet Lumps there is an extensive demand, prices are firm at 51s to 51s 6d for low and middling, and at 52s to 63s per cwt for good and fine. The stock is small, but there is a large con sumption, which is likely to continue. Prices for re fined goods are expected to remain firm during the next two or three weeks. MAURITIIIS.—There has been more activity in the market this week, whilst holders are firmer and offer a less quantity for sale. There are, however, further ar• rivals of the new crop. All qualities have been in good request for grocery and refining purposes, and the par cels disposed of privately were at prices showing an ad- vance on those previously current of 6d per cwt. At auction 2,687 bags and 6 casks of the new crop were disposed of. EAST INDIA.—For Penang the demand is brisker, and the rates obtained are rather above those previously current, they are, however, yet under the cost of im portation. At auction 560 baskets, 252 bags and 19 cases were sold. Siam is more in favour, and a public sale of 4,432 bags went off with fair spirit, and in most cases 6d per cwt above former rates. In the market for Bengal there has been more activity, whilst the supply is not so plentiful. At auction 685 bags of grainy were sold at stiffer rates. By private treaty several parcels have been taken, and stiffer rates are paid. There has been no public sale of Madras. FOREIGN.-Holders have shown firmness this week, and refrained from aubmittinag any to public sale, whereas privately the quantity on offer is less than of Late of all kinds. We hare no improvement to notice not withstanding the low rates current. The sales concluded privately have been trifling by exporters, and are con fined principally to 100 chests of low and mid brown Bahia at 15s 6d to 17s per cwt, which are previous quo tations. From ;he home trade and our refiners working under bond, the demand has been limited, but they can not make purchases under previous rates. COFFgE.—Although West India can be obtained at a further reduction in the value, still all kinds have been dealt in with reluctance by the town and country trade. None has been submitted to public competition, but pri vately there is a fair quantity on offer, consisting chiefly of the inferior and mixed kinds. Merchants are willing sellers, as the consump tion continues to progress unfavourably, and is 4,000 cwt less than last season, whereas the stoek is nearly 3,000 larger, and the increase of the imports tion over that of the past year is 2,900 cwt. All sorts of East India can be obtained upon lower terms, although the market has been moderately supplied all the week, but on the part of exporters or the home trade little dis position was manifested to make purchases. The sales concluded privately in Native Ceylon have bees limited. At auction 684 bags were disposed of. Plantation is offered rather under previous quotations, yet all kinds have been dealt in with caution by private treaty, and 798 bags 10 casks at public sale were only in part sold. The market is quiet for Mocha, prices tend downward. At auction 98 bags from the Mauritius were sold. Of Foreign Coffee none has been submitted to private sale, and privately the dealings have been of a limited nature, although sellers are willing to make a slight concession in the value. Cocoa.—There is more firmness on the part of holders of West India, and the supply is on the decrease. A fair demand exists for all sorts, grey at 38s to 435, and red 40s to 49s per cwt. The market is in a dull state for Foreign, and 35s to 373-is the value of red Bahia. TEA.—We have at length to notice an improvement in the position of the market for Congou, and the rates paid are -1-cl to id per lb above those previously current. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in all sorts. Pouchong is dull of sale at 3d to 8d for low to good quality, but in Souchong the operations are upon a more extended scale, at previous quotations. The quantity of Black on offer is not so large as of late. Prices cannot be quoted higher for Green, but on the part of holders there is more firmness, whereas the demand is brisker, and the supply is not so large as of late ; upon the fol lowing terms several parcels have been sold, consisting chiefly of the better kinds. In Scented Teas the opera tions have been of a limited nature, and prices keep low. SPIRITS.—With Jamaica Rum the market is plenti fully supplied, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms, still the purchases made by exporters and the home trade have been trifling in all sorts, We quote 28 to 38 per cent over proof, of middling and plain quality at 3s 4d to 3s Bd, good 3s 9d to 4s, fine 4s 2d to 4s 6d. For Leeward Island rather lower prices having been taken, induced buyers to operate with more freedom, and the sales amount to 300 puns at Is bid to Is 7d proof, but chiefly at the latter rate. East India is not cheaper, but the demand is limited, and the sales are only 200 puns, at Is 6d to is 7d, a small parcel of Penang at is sd, and limited parcels of Mauri tius at Is sid proof strength. The purchases made in Demerara have been trifling, and there are willing sellers at 2s 8d to 3s 2d for 28 to 36 per cent over proof. Jamaica Rum is higher in price than any other description. For Brandy the market has a firm appearance, previous rates are well sustained, whilst the demand has been good, and the deliveries still exceed the arrivals. Prices are ;fully as high as on Friday last. SPICES.—There is yet much inclination manifested by importers of Pimento to sell, and they submitted to a reduction on previous rates of l id per lb. Privately the sales made have been to a small extent only, but at extent only, but at auction 229 bags were sold. Al though holders of Nutmegs are willing to accept previous rates, yet the rates concluded by private treaty have been of a limited nature by exporters and the home trade. At public sale 14 cases and 2 bags were sold" Mace sells slowly upon previous reduced terms. At auction 5 cases were disposed of at 9s 4d to 2s 5d for for middling, and at 2s 2d to 2s 4d for low middling. The sales made in Cloves have been of a trifling nature, and holders are inclined to sell. On the part of holders of Black Pepper there is firmness, and they eupplythe market sparingly, all descriptions sought by shippers, and the home trade, whilst previous rates are obtained for the parcels sold by private treaty. In Ginger the sales are small by exporters as well as home consumers. Cassia Lignea is not much wanted, and the supply is s w ra il a li l n l, g st t i o ll ac fo c r e m p e t r lo r w at r e a s te a s re not to be obtained. There INnido.—The all description s of m are still few buyers of Cinnamon, although holders are tarasktetinh India, i s e a , t,he favourable hom e a a u p d p e e a x r p a o n r c t e d f e o r purchases hate been made wand having been the week, whilst further pail exhibit an advance by speculators, and the rates marketare is scantily supplied. c p e er lb , at whilst the . generally sellers, and, the continue uattlii appears to be Tbat the upward tenden?/heisttoot total s t p a r is 1,073 deliveries are the general impression. chests smaller than last year, are 1,700 greater; the arrivals do not ebtrie u of that time, whereas all sorts are lower in vSne. tI V:Z. Spanish previous rates are well sustained; the suppl y i . , small, and a fair demand prevails. RICE.—To-day East India Rice was more in demand, and there were not sellers generally at former rates. COCHINEAL—Previous improved rates are well sus tained for all sorts, although the market has been well supplied during the week, but the demand is not yet active. The parcels offered at auction were all disposed of. Ls.—The market is still improving for all common Fish Oils, and the supply is less plentiful. None has been submitted to public sale this week, whereas the arrivals are of little moment. In Seal a good business has been concluded, chiefly by the home trade ; prices continue on the advance. In Cod several purchases have been made at 251 to 251 10s, and some parties will not sell upon these terms. Southern of all sorts is more re quired; the supply is scanty, and prices have advanced. For Sperm there is few buyers, and holders are still willing sellers as the stock is large, and 791 to 18/ is the value of good and fine quality. Linseed Oil is cheaper, and the home demand has been good. For forward de livery a fair extent of business has been concluded at 23s 9d to 245. Rapeseed is more required, and in con sequence of the smallness of the stock buyers ;are com pelled to pay 38s 6d to 39a for pale, and 37s 6d to 38s for brown. Olive does not improve in value, although several parcels have been sold. Palm met with little attention. TaLLow.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow went off quietly at rather lower rates ; 2,446 packages of South American were sold at 39s 3d to 40s 3d ; 28 casks of East India 43s to 47s 3d, 351 casks of New South Wales 40s to 46s ; 112 casks of Odessa 44s 3d to 44s 9d, and 50 casks of Petersburgh Soap Tallow taken in at 43s per cwt.

HART. This was' an action of trover, to recover a sum of 231., the value of a prize boat, for which their had been a contested boat-race between two competitors at Greenwich. The declaration set forth conversion Gf the property by the defendant, to which the de fendant, who is proprietor of the Trafalgar Tarim, on the banks of the river, Greenwich, pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. James appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs; Mr. Montague Chambers, the Hon. Mr. Denman, and Mr. Boville, were for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant SHIM stated the case, from which it appeared that a regatta or boat-race, took place in June last, opposite Greenwich Hospital, in which two well-known watermen—Watkins and Peter Browne, were the competitors. The prize was a handsome boat, built by Messrs. Chilling worth and Burton ; and as the rowers were men 01 acknowledged skill on the river in plying the oar and managing the skiff, the excitement pending the race was great, the bets considerable, and the spectators numerous. There were, altogether, five heats, in some three or four of which the success was various and the issue doubtful. The Learned Sergeant said that it would be attempted to show that Browne was the best oarsman ; but he would prove, by testimony which he meant to adduce, that Watkins, in the fourth heat, was fifty or a hundred yards ahead of Browne. It would be also endeavoured, as he was informed, to show that Watkins had been guilty of attempts at foul play in the race, but he would most satisfactorily demonstrate that the charge of " fouling" applied more to Peter Browne than to Watkins. That foul play took place there was abundant testi mony to prove. Everything that was necessary for the regulation and conduct of the race, was provided for. The plaintiffs were appointed managers and judges of the affair, and the rules of the race, a fair start, &c., were regularly drawn up. In the fifth heat a charge of " fouling" speared to be made, in which Peter Browne would see n to be the aggressor, and Watkins, seeing the dig ulvantage at which he was placed, very prudently fel, back and pulled ashore. Browne went ahead an I pushed on to the appointed goal. Multitudes of persons who were looking on raised their voices, some in loud buzzas for Browne, and others in mur murs of foul play. Browne, surrounded by his friends, was placed in the prize boat, and chaired in triumph through the public ways. The proces sion halted opposite the Trafalgar Inn, and the boat, by permission of Mrs. Hart, wife of the defend ant, was deposited in the yard of that establish ment. A civil request was made next morning for the boat, by the plaintiffs, who, as managers in the race, had not given their decision ; but the defendant refused to give it up, remarking that they wanted to give it to their "fancy man," and that they were rogues altogether."—(Laughter.) The application was repeated by Mr. Collins, a schoolmaster, with no better success, and plaintiffs then placed the matter in the hands of their attorneys, who served a formal notice of demand on defendant, with an intimation of a civil action against him, should he not surrender the boat to the plaintiffs. The defendant remained un moved, and ultimately banded the boat over to Browne, with an accompanying recommendation to name it the " Trafalgar," and Browne accordingly so named her. Now this was a clear act of conversion, for which the defendant had rendered himself liable. The Learned SERGEANT then called witnesses in support of his statement, of which the above is an outline, and among them Captain Rowland, who de posed that he had witnessed the race from his draw ing-room window, and that Browne was, to his view, more the aggressor in the charge of " fouling" than Watkins. He also put in evidence to show that the prize•boat had been purchased by the plaintiffs for a sum of 231., money collected for the purpose among the inhabitants of Greenwich, and produced a receipt for the payment. Mr. AIONTAGUE CHAMBERS, for the defence, con tended that the race had been fairly and gallantly won by Browne ; that Watkins, in the fifth heat was exhausted, and obliged to give up; that there was a difference between the men, Browne, in a long -.l'eh, proving to have trie best bottom, :lila that Watkins, when he saw himself losing the race, his r r a e oe w , was guilty of fouling, having gone so his boat in upon Browne's quarter, and ev en se ize far as boat. He would show, further, that the plaintiffs were not owners of the boat; that there was no "con version" of her by the defendant, such as charged in the declaration, and that the defendant, in handing over the boat to Browne, had but given it up to the party who had fairly and beyond all doubt won it. The Learned Gentleman then commented on the part taken by the plaintiffs in the affair, insinuated that they had, themselves, bets pending on the race in Watkins's favour, stated that when that competitor fell out of the race, they were heard to say, " Never mind, Tom, we'll make it all right for you," and urged that they could not, under the circumstances, be regarded by the jury as in a condition to have conducted themselves as impar tial judges. He, therefore, hoped that the jury looking at the whole case, would find their verdict for the defendant, who, in handing the prize-boat over to Browne but discharged an honest and inde pendent exercise of duty. The Learned Gentleman called Phillip Brooks, William Foster, William Tho mas, Peter Browne, Purkis Todman, Skinner, and other witnesses, to support his statements, after which and Mr. Sergeant Shee s reply, Lord DENMAN summed up the evidence. His Lordship said there had been a great deal of conflict ing testimony in the case, as to false starts and charges of fouling," on the one side and the other; but the main questions for the consideration of the jury would be, as to whether the property was the plaintiffs', and as to whether the defendant had been guilty of conversion in handing it over to Browne. Undoubtedly, it was quite clear that the plaintiffs had, or the 10th of June, about three days before the race, paid Messrs. Chillingworth and Burton 231. for the boat; but if that were not so, if they even had not paid for it, the defen dant had no right to hand it over to Browne. It was, at the time he did so, in dispute—the plaintiffs had not given their decision—they were judges in the race, duly appointed. They pronounced it to be a foully contested race, and had made applications to the defendant for the boat, which was still their pro perty, to dispose of, and which could only be dis posed of by their fair decision, according to the rules governing the race. The defendant, then, clearly had no right to give it up to Browne, and in having done so he was clearly, according to the evidence, guilty of conversion. It would be for the jury, however, to say so, and also wheaser they believed the boat had been paid for by the plaintiffs. The jury con erred together for a few moments, and returned a v: relict for the plaintiffs—damages 231.—the amount paid for the boat, and expressed their opinion, in answer to a question from Lord Denman, that the plaintiffs had paid for the boat. Thus ended the business of the sittings. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. SENTENCES AND SESSIONAL RESULTS.

Mr. George White, of Millbank-street, Westmin ster merchant, said—On Tuesday, the 11 th of No vember, I came from Gravesend to Black wall in a steam-boat. When we arrived at that station one of the company's porters came to me on board, and asked me if I had any luggage. I gave him two carpet bags avd a small basket, desiring him to put them in a Fenchurch-street carriage on the railway. In consequence of our not starting immediately, I lost sight of the porter for about six or seven minutes, but when I was seated in one of the carriages he came to me with the basket, and said he had put the two carpet bags in the luggage van, which was immediately before the carriage in which I was riding. I did not see them there. When we got to Fenchurch-street no bag was to be found. I returned at once to Blackwall, and was confronted with the porter, who insisted that he had deposited them in the carriage. Every inquiry was made by the railroad servants, but nothing satisfactory occurred till Tuesday last, when I heard that some of the pro perty contained in the two bags had been recovered. They contained, when in my possession, a gold chain, a tortoiseshell workbox, some furs and shawls, a lace veil, and several articles of ladies' and children's dress. I identify all the articles and the bag produced by the policeman as mine. I do not know the prisoner at all, and am not aware that I have ever seen him before now. Richard Durant, porter to the London and Black wall Railway Company, stated that he conveyed the two bags and the basket, according to the direction of Mr. White, from the steam-vessel to the railway, and place the bags in the luggage carriage, to which there was a latch, bat no lock. He gave Mr. White, who had got into a first-class carriage, the small basket. The bags could not have been taken out of the van before the train started from Blackwall, nor before it left Poplar, where it stopped for two or three minutes to take in passenger s and grip the rope. Nothing was heard of them till th e arrival of the train in London, where witness afterwards came and made inquiries, but heard that the porters hadnot taken any luggage out of t he carriage answering the de scription. Policeman Hardwick said—On Saturday l as t I heard that the pr isoner, who is known to me, had gone to Cheltenham with some luggage, and, k now i ng where he lodged, I went to the house, i n Antony-- - street, St. George's-in-the-East, and asked th e l ar d lady where any of Tames Ceates's property w ., s . She took the L 0 the back and, SiiUWitl 111: to 1a , and that said that was all she had belonging that he would be back in three weeks. On Monday leaned again, and caused the box to be forced open, and I found in it a quantity of linen and other articles, and two carpet bags, from which the locks had been apparently wrenched off. Mr. White identified the property as part of that which he had lost in the manner described by him. Being authorized to go after the thief. I went yesterday afternoon to Cheltenham, and apprehended the prisoner at his father's house, in bed. I told him who I was, and that he must consider himself my prisoner upon sus picion of having committed a robbery on the Black wall Railroad. He dressed himself, and I told him to show me all the property he had. lie then pointed to a portmanteau and a couple of coats, and at two portmanteaus which were under the bed. I took him to the station at Cheltenham, but he contrived to make his escape. There were some hundred people at his heels, and f i le was secured after some difficulty. He had a silver watch and two sove reigns about him. The prisoner is, it appears, one of those clever artists who watch the property placed in railway vans from the moment it is deposited, got into the nearest carriage to the van, and slip out and appro priate what they fancy at the first convenient oppor tunity. Mr. White, it is conjectured, had been seen to be the owner of the carpet bags, and been accord ingly marked by the victimizer, whose success in this mode of plunder made him somewhat negligent upon this occasion. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask any question, or to make any observation ? The prisoner—Not at all. The prisoner, who will be committed for trial when the depositions shall have been made out, was then sent back to prison. The LORD MAYOR said he gratefully acknowledged having received for the poor-box from the Grocers' Company, through the hands of Mr. Walton, one of their officers, the sum of 10/. ; from " J. Y.," 2/. ; and from Mr. Harker, the foreman of the Grand Jury of the Central Criminal Court, 155., being the amount in hand after payment of the refreshment expenses of the October Grand Jury. John Phillips was on the preceding day brought up charged with having been a " picket man," em ployed to intimidate the workmen of Mr. Trego, of Coleman-street, builder, but that gentleman expressed his willingness to forego the prosecution if the gang of which the accused formed one would pledge them selves to drop the illegal practices of which they had been guilty ; the prisoner appeared yesterday in ac cordance with his undertaking. The foreman of Mr. Trego stated that Mr. Trego authorised him not only to stop the prosecution in the present case, but to intercede to procure the immediate liberation of Mahony, the person who had been convicted and sentenced to hard labour for three months for a breach of the law, if the committee, as they called themselves, would pledge themselves to abstain altogether from the system of annoyance upon which they had been acting. It appeared, however, that penitent as Phillips seemed to be, the committee would not make any condition of the kind, but, on the contrary, were determined to act offensively, and Mr. Trego was therefore resolved to prosecute in every instance. The LORD MAYOR and Alderman GIBBS approved highly of the decisive conduct of Mr. Trego, and desired that the evidence should be gone into. Mr. Humphreys, who attended on Wednesday as solicitor for the prisoner, and advised the committee to abandon the intimidation system, refused (we were given to understand) to come forward to defend upon this occasion, as he had assured them that their con duct was totally indefensible. Witnesses were then examined, but they distinctly stated that, although the language of intimidation had been used by several others of the " picket-men," they had not heard any observations from the prisoner cal• culated to intimidate. The LORD MAYOR and Alderman GIBBS said, that as there was no proof of intimidation, they had no alternative but to dismiss the case, but they repeated their assurance that in every instance in which evi dence of the offence should be given the full penalty would without the remotest chance of mitigation be inflicted, and as it appeared from some of the state ments made by the witnesses that the language of intimidation had been used to them by several well known members of " the picketers," and that, although Phillips had not used that sort of language to them, he had not been sparing of it to others, it would be ad visable in Mr. Trego to cause every one of those against whom satisfactory evidence could be produced to be charged as soon as possible. Mr. Trego, who attended towards the conclusion of the proceedings, said he should most positively act in every case according to the suggestion of the magis trates. He had lost several valuable men in conse quence of the picketing system. The LORD MAYOR said, that he and his brother magistrates would do all in their power to put down so unjust a combination. In the case of Mahony, who had been convicted, Mr. Trego had allowed his com passion to interfere most strongly for that person. It would be his business, in all future cases, to look to j ustice alone. LAMBETH. THE LATE CASE OF CONVICTION OF AN INNOCENT PERSON.—As Mr. Norton was about to leave the bench, Mrs. Ward, the mother of James William Ward, the lad who had been convicted at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to seven years' transportation, tor stealing his grandfather's watch, and who was also the prosecutrix in the case of Mary Ann Turpin, who had been unjustly sentenced to six months' hard labour for the same offence, entered the Court, and entreated his Worship's advice under the following circumstances :—She stated that that day a letter which her son had written to his late master had reached her hands, in which the boy stated, in the most solemn manner, that his uncle, Henry Wenman, it was, who had induced him to steal his grandfather's watch ; that out of the fifty shillings received for it he had only got five ; and that his uncle, who had kept the remainder of the money, had told him to ad mit receiving the whole of the fifty shillings, else they should be both transported. This avowal on the part of her son completely co n firmed h e r (the applicant's) opinion that her brother was really the guilty party, though her son had been sacrificed. Mr. NORTON desired her to state the other circum stances which she alluded to, as strengthening her suspicion, and she went on to say—That on the day before the watch had been stolen, her brother, Henry Wenman, had been to her house, and some difference of opinion having taken place between him and her husband about the workmanship of English and French watches, she produced the one in question, for the purpose of settling the point. Her brother, at that time, had an opportunity of examining the watch (which was one or a peculiar description) minutely ; and at that time she told him it b e l onge d to h er fath e r, who had left it with her to have a glass put in, and that she was particular about it. Notwithstanding this, her brother, in a day or two after, received the same watch from her son, and sold it upon the mere representation that she, the mother, wanted the money for it. Besides this, her brother called at her house twice while the young woman Turpin was under examination, and though he must have been perfectly satisfied that the charge against her was that of having stolen the identical watch that he himself had sold, he never disclosed the fact, but merely endeavoured to prevail on her, applicant, not to press the charge against the young woman Turpin. F . urthT. than this, her brother, though bound over to give evi dence against her son, at the Old Bailey, had not ap peared until after the trial was over, and the judge gave directions that he should be taken into custody. — Folice-constable George Quennier, 201 P, who had the case, having been called on by the magistrate to explain how this was, said that Wenman had been bound over as a witness, and was told by him to be in attendance at the Old Bailey on the day of the trial, at nine o'clock, but he did not make his appear ance in time to be examined, in consequence of which the Recorder directed that his recognizances be estreated, and that he should also be apprehended. Shortly after the trial was over Wenman made his appearance in cour t, an d app li e d to the judge to rescind his order, an d th e R ecor der at that time further not order him i n t o i n t o cus t o dy. The officer her son stated that neither at the time of into custody, nor during his e xamination, had Mrs. Ward said a word to him abuofuthis e e hers e l suspicions pi c itohne watch s of her brother, or the circumstance before it had been stolen,Tuorraphlitsuios wfveallsstitiustntdtooerbheeh remand her s h d o u u t s y e while the young womanat this court, He (Quennier) that the lad Ward, both at the to inform his Worship time of his taking him into had custodyackuow leadngded'onhaavliln sions up to the trial,ll 50 shillings from • °gccrea-- ived thewse of t e. his uncle, and what the officer said was apdremei"ttwediththiatt. e h e ad a on ly 6s. of the money was that which confirmed perfectly true, but the declaration of her son that he had her in her opinion that her brother must have been Mr;:lgV7rd thorougly satisfied the watch had been stolen by her boy, if he did not, as her son now confessed, prevail upon to take it ; and therefore she wished that the more guilty party should be brought to justice. Mr. NORTON remarked that there was nothing in the law to prevent a convict giving evidence, but still the evidence of such a person should be received with much caution. He (Mr. Norton) could not help ex pres,,,ing his surprise that the applicant had not, when giving her evidence against her son, stated the whole of tht, circumstances against her brother. He should carefully read over the letter put in by the applicant, and give the matter his best consideration by the fol lowing (this) day, when he requested the applicant to attend again.

SUNDERLAND ELECTION. SUNDERLAND, WEDNESDAY ETENING.—The Re t :ruing Officer held a Court this morning, to make th' official declaration of the poll. On counting up the books the following were found to be the numbers recorded for each candidate : Sir H. Williamson ... 707 Mr. Wilkinson 578 Majority for Sir H. Williamson ... 129 Total electors polled Do. at the last election .. 1,322 Mr. Wilkinson polled nine votes more than he did at the last contest, and Sir Hedworth Williamson polled 61 more than Mr. Barclay. There were 37 fewer electors polled at this contest than at thegene ral election. In four polling booths Sir Hedworth had the majority, in one the numbers were equal, and in three the majority was in favour of Mr. Wilkinson. Sir Hedworth's gross majority could have been in creased full 150 more, as that number of voters were ready to go to poll had they been required, and most of them were waiting at the Committee-room, or in the vicinity of the polling booths, to be ready if De cessary. On the Returning Officer declaring Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart., of Whitburn Hall, duly elected, great applause followed the announcement. Sir HEDWORTH briefly thanked the electors for the honour conferred upon him, and assured them he would endeavour to prove himself worthy of the high trust and confidence they had reposed in him. He had predicted a victory, and had in no respect been disappointed. On Mr. WILKINSON presenting himself he wag received with great cheering and waving of hats. He said they had been defeated by the same combination as before, and "he wished the parties good luck of their bargain." He congratulated her Majesty's Government, or rather a Noble Lord high in office, in having used every means in his power to return an opponent of that Government on the important questions of the navigation and the currency laws. Had he been elected he would zealously have sup ported the Government on these questions, but his opponent would be hostile to them. He could not possibly have anticipated the result, as he had 686 promises on his canvass books, and 19 had voted for him who did not promise him. One hundred and twenty-four of his promises bad not voted, and 32 had , voted against him. He would not pledge himself to contest the borough again, but he urged the Liberal electors to persevere, and they would ulti mately he successful. A vote of thanks was then given to the returning officer, and the crowd speedily dispersed. ANOTHER SHIPWRECK OFF SKULL HARBOUR. (From the Cork Examiner.) SKULL, ONE O'CLOCK, P.M., DEC. 17.—Abort four o'clock on the morning of the 17th instant, a. ship, laden with deals and oak staves, was driven ashore at Gunpoint, about two miles west of Skull Harbour, and three from where the Stephen Whitney was lost, and in a few moments became a total wreck.. Her name has not as yet been ascertained, although we went to the place where the wreck " was driving ashore, in hopes of being able to learn something f her. None of the crew' have been seen ; some suppose they abandoned her, others, that they were drowned ; and I can with safety to myself say that were they on board when she struck they could never land, the beach being so pre cipitous and the breakers running so high. A poor man, named John Griffin, while in the act of taking one of the deals which the surge left on the rock, was carried away and drowned by the receding serge ; he has left a wife and three children to deplore his loss. Another vessel has also cast anchor this morning outside Skull Harbour, and in consequence of the violent storm which was then raging was obliged to cut away her masts. The commissioned boatmen and one of the coast guards at Skull, with three other volunteers, went to sea to try and render the crew and vessel what assistance they could, but the sea ran so high and the gale being still un abated, they were obliged to return when moo than four-fifths of the way without being able to accomplish their object, the boat which they had not being of the best description. I would most earnestly recommend to the Huma ne or some other Society to furnish a life boat to t_ ll° coast guards of the Skull station (as it might be th e means of saving many valuable lives), as no ordii° l ., l boat could render any assistance to a vessel in 1515 " tress off Skull Harbour on such a day as this, or even on a much more moderate day. Any further particulars which I may learn will be furnished as soon as possible. W. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Disc. 23.
