EX PARTE HUGH MACKAY, FOR THE LIVERPOOL ALBION BANK, IN RE lAM WRIGHT, A BANKRUPT This was an application for an order to refer to the com missioner the taking of an account between the petitioner and the bankrupt, as to how much should be found due to the Liverpool Albion Bank, with directions for the sale of securities, and proof for the difference. The bankrupt, in 18:0, was indebted to the bank for considerable sums, and on asking further advances, handed over certain securities on Irish property, deposited with him by Messrs. Macheath and Mackay, for advances and liabilities, amounting to £15,000. The petitioner asked for a sale of the mortgaged debt, with _ proof for the difference. The respondents urged that the case ought to have been taken in the first instance before the commissioner, but were prepared, notwithstanding, to meet the case upon the merits, by alleging, in objection, the proxi mity of the deposit of the security to the act of bankruptcy, a distance of only six days, which suggested a probability of fraudulent preference ; as also that the property was within the clause relating to order and disposition, that the debt was not ascertained, and that the party was not entitled to ask . _ for liberty to prove. Messrs. Swanston and Rolt supported the petition; Messrs Bethell and Anderdon appeared for the assignees a's respon. Sir J. CROSS said, the objection relative to a previous ap plication to the commissioner, was unavailable when the re spondents came well prepared to meet the case on the merits. As regarded the objection relative to order and disposition, that principle was clearly inapplicable ; and as to the ques tion relative to the date of the act of bankruptcy, and the suggestion of fraudulent preference, there was no evidence to throw a shadow of doubt upon the case. The security, however, could not be sold to advantage without ascertaining the debts due from the respective firms. It would, therefore, be better to refer the matter to the commissioner, with a view to an inquiry into the unascertained debts, and a subse quent sale of the security. Perhaps the order had better be for taking an account of the debts between the two bankrupt firms, that due from Macbeath and Co. to the bankrupt, and from the latter to the Liverpool Banking Company, with liberty to enter a claim for the amount due. If the debt due from Messrs. Macbeath and Co. could be discovered, the sale of the security might be effected forthwith ; if otherwise, the commissioner would be at liberty to state special circum stances, and either party might apply thereon. COURT OF CHANCERY RAWSON' SAMUEL The Lord Chancellor delivered judgment in this case, and said, that the mercantile arrangement between the parties was to the following effect :—Samuel was to send out goods to Canton, Singapore, and other places, which the plaintiff was to sell, and remit the proceeds to provide for bills to be drawn against them. The plaintiff having become largely in ad vance, in consequence of the amount of the bills drawn by Samuel, refused to accept any more, whereupon Samuel brought an action for breach of contract in not accepting. The Vice-chancellor granted an injunction to restrain execu tion in the action until an account should be taken between the parties, in order that the damages, if any were recovered, might be set off against the balance, which Mr. Rawson al leged would be found due to him upon the account. His lordship said, he could not assume the statement of the plain tiff in his own favour, and if the defendant should be right, it would be unjust to restrain him from receiving the damages he might obtain in the action, until the account were taken. This was not a case in which the doctrine of equitable set-off applied ; the account would not be taken in respect of mutual transactions, but the action was for a distinct matter, a breach of contract. A mere cross demand did not necessarily raise a case of equitable set-off; but here there was not even cross demands, for the court could not assume that the balanct., of account would be in the plaintiff's favour, and damages would _ _ not give Samuel compensation for the delay, if he should ulti mately be found right. In the authorities cited, the bill im peached the legal demand. The Lord Chancellor said, upon the whole, he was of opinion there was no ground for the in junction, and therefore the order of the Vice-chancellor must be discharged, and the present motion to continue the injunc tion dismissed with costs. His Lordship rose about half-Fast two o'clock CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-WEDNESDAY (Before Mr. Justice Williams and Mr. Justice Coltman.)

At the farm of Feor lin, in that locality, a small school was taught by a young man of the name of Macgregor, in an apartment formerly used as a potato store. One of the gables of the house gave way during the thaw on the above date, when four of the children attending the school were killed on the spot, and several others severely injored.—Edinburgh Witness. THE NEW POOR LAW.—If a reformed parliament had thought proper to enact that every pauper should be tortured upon the rack, or should wear the thumb-screw for a week, as an indispensable condition of parochial relief, we make no doubt that multitudes of the idle and improvident would have chosen honest labour as the preferable alternative; the rate of wages would have been regulated by the relations of supply and demand ; and Lord J. Russell might have con gratulated the country, as confidently as he did on Friday last, upon the eminent success of the measure in reducing the amount of poor-rates, and improving the morals of the able-bodied poor. Whether Sir C. Grey would then have considered that " the system in existence ought at all events to be prolonged, inasmuch as it had set up a barrier against the invasion of property by pauperism ;" or whether Mr. Hume would the n h ave b een unable to har in silence " the observation that the law was founded on erroneous princi pit's," from the lips of an hon. baronet, who " himself ad in his time a nd f or m any subsequent matted that there had been c ases o f misappropriation of • ar to O e contai n i ng severa l ga ll er i es fli e d w iks.

Ac violence an early period 01 o Mr. John James, formerly a supporter of the liberal can lidates for Walsall, but during the present election a warm friend of Mr. Gladstone. The threat was duly execut ed. Mr. James, on his way to give his vote, received a tremendous blow on his head, and, had it not been for the prompt succour afforded him by friends, there is little doubt he would have sustained serious injuries. It will be seen by the subjoined statement of the polling, that both parties com menced vigorously ; but the conservative party were most upon the alert, and displayed an alacrity worthy of the cause in which they were engaged. At half-past nine o'clock, the numbers were, according to the statements of Mr. Glad e plain- stone's committee— Gladston Gladstone Smith.... HALF-PAST TEDI Gladstone Smith.... HALF-PAST ELEVEN the day occ ss of the conservative candidate at this period of casioned the utmost excitement amongst the nd so outrageous was the conduct of the mob, that the magistrates deemed it necessary to call in the mili tary stationed in the vicinity of the borough. Accordingly, ast twelve o'clock, parties of the Scotch Greys, nd Barr, entered the town, to the no lit ening rioters. The troops from Wed- nesbury immediately took ti e 'p a position opposite Mr. Smith's committee-room, in the High-street, that being next to the Public-office, in which the magistrates usually preside. Ac land, on perceiving the military array in front, stepped upon the balcony, and proceeded to address the assembly. Point ing to the troops, he observed that he was as much surprised at their appearance as any elector in the borough could be; but he exhorted the people to preserve the peace, as it was the evident object of the tories to provoke them to break it. This exhortation was received with loud cheers, and almost immediately afterwards the troop in front retired, and took up quarters in the Dragon-yard. The military force from Barr took up a position in front of the George, and after wards at the New Inn, and their presence in the borough at once inspired confidence amongst the electors. The Liberals taunt Mr. Gladstone's magisterial friends with bringing in the troops, without necessity, to serve the cause of their candidate. It ought to be mentioned, how ever, that this step was taken with the consent of magistrates of both parties, Mr. Cotterill, who proposed Mr. Smith, being the gentleman whose name was signed to the order. This is a sufficient answer to any charge of undue influence brought against the Conservatives. case the charter-party began in words of greement, and then the vessel to sail on the 4th day this clause was interposed, " I of February," after which it lin went on in the terms of it is agreed Looking, therefore, in peared to the court that there was ground for surmising that some distinction was intended to be made between the par ties, and that they thought that this particular clause sounded in condition, while the general clauses of the charter-party were in agreement only. - Again, looking at the subject mat ter of the contract, they thought that, by construing these words as a condition precedent, they should carry into effect the intention of the parties. Both parties were aware, that the whole success of the adventure depended upon the com mencement of the voyage at a given time. The nature of the corn trade, the opportunities of the market, and all other circumstances, combined to show that despatch and certainty were of the very first importance to its success. Upon the whole, therefore, the court was of opinion, that there was sufficient proof f the intention of the parties that the ship should sail on the 4th of February at the latest, and the only mode of carrying that intention into effect was, to hold that these words constituted a condition precedent.

Mr. Shand had sailed for Antigua shortly after the rule nisi was moved, and it did not appear that he had been called thither by any sudden or unforeseen emergency, or how long he was likely to remain there ; these points were wholly uncer t a i n .

FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL Gladstone Majority for Gladstone .... -38 The announcement was received with the most enthusiastic The i►umbers polled at the last election were—for Mr. Finch, the Radical candidate, 316 ; for Mr. Foster, the Con servative candidate, 296. It will thus be seen that Mr. Gladstone has polled 49 more votes than Finch, and 69 more than Foster. At the time of leaving Walsall the town was in a state of great excitement, but the presence of the Scotch Greys will be sure to prevent any serious violence. Colonel Thorn, the commandant of the district, is iu attendance. The triumph for the Conservatives has been most complete. Many of the Manchester cotton lords are already upon their returu to the place whence they came. [lt will be seen that the voting approximates very closely to the cumbers which We ventured to announce in our last.] CANTERBURY ELECTION The nomination of candidates for this borough took place on Monday last. Mr. Smythe was nominated by Mr. J. Partridge, and seconded by Mr. W. H. Baldock. Mr. Wil son was introduced by Alderman Plummer, and the nomina tion was seconded by Alderman Cooper. TRIUMPH OF THE CONSERVATIVE CAUSE CANTERBURY, TUESDAY, FEB. 2.—Election proceedings have seldom been characterised by so much excitement and enthusiasm as have prevailed throughout the city of Canter bury on this the day of polling. The committees of both candidates sought no rest last night, but were busily engaged in preparing for the contest, which positively commenced at 8 o'clock in the morning, and ended, as will be seen below, in a manner which has completely confounded the blues, and secured a signal victory for the cause of conservatism. The state of the poll being the most important part of my present despatch, I reserve what few remarks on other sub jects 1 may have time to make, until I have recorded the most satisfactory information : and as the progress of the poll may be not uninteresting, I give it from hour to hour in the gross numbers, which were as follow : Smythe. Wilson. 9 o'clock .. .. 73 .. .. 57 10 .. .. 151 .. .. 138 11 .. .. 476 .. .. 464 12 .. .. 597 .. .. 513 1 —. .. .. 653 .. .. 547 6 .. .. 695 .. .. 575 3 .. .. .. 736 .. .. 606 4 - - .. .. 782 .. .. 619 __- Majority for Smythe .. .. 163! It will be seen that although Mr. Smythe had a majority of 16 over his opponent at 9 o'clock, that majority was dimi nished to 13 at 10 o'clock, and at 11 o'clock to 12. But from this time he began rapidly to gain ground, heading Wilson at 12 o'clock bj 81 votes ; at 1 by 106 ; at 2 by 120 ; at 3 by 130 ; and at 4 o'clock by 163 votes ! ! a majority which, while it has exceeded the warmest expectations of the friends of Mr. Smythe, has overwhelmed the blues with confusion and vexation. During the day the streets were paraded by processions, accompanied by bands, the music of which rendered the cold and dreary weather, and a heavy fall of snow, more tolerable. The shops in the principal streets were either wholly or par tially closed. It was feared, as I stated in the communica tion I sent to you on Saturday, that some attempt would be made by the Blues to close the poll before the proper time, if they found themselves going to leeward, by getting up a disturbance, which would afford them an excuse for such a proceeding. That was the course taken by them at the last election here, the object being to gain time, by having ano ther day to exercise their influence upon the unpolled voters. On this occasion they have had recourse to another ma noeuvre. About a quarter before four o'clock Mr. Twisden Hodges was nominated at a district polling-booth by Mr. John Brent, the son of the alderman, and seconded by Mr. Steer, a butcher, and 17 votes were recorded in his favour. It is supposed that this course has been adopted with a view to secure the return of a " liberal" candidate, in the event of a petition being g ot up against th e return of Mr. Smythe. If so, the persons who suggested it must be exceedingly ig norant of the subject upon which they have ventured to give such ridiculous advice. With the exception of a few trifling pugilistic skirmishes, and one unprovoked attack made by a Blue mob upon the house of a conservative voter in Dove-lane, whose windows they broke, the proceedings of the day were conducted and carried on by the antagonist parties with good humour. No police were visible at any of the polling places throughout the day, and their absence, it is said, was recommended and enforced, lest the prejudice again,t them which exists amongst the lower orders should lead to any disturbance. Shortly after the close of the poll, Mr. Smythe addressed a numerous body of his supporters from the window of the committee-room of the Canterbury Conservative Club. On presenting himself, he was received with most enthusiastic cheering by the multitude, who, notwithstanding the conti nued inclemency of the weather, remained with patience to listen to him, and to express their exult a tio n a t hi s re t urn . Mr. Smythe confessed his inability to find words fully to express his feelings. No words, he said, could convey his gratitude or adequately describe the nature of so unprece dented, so singular, and so matchless a victory as that which has just been achieved. (Great cheering.) He held in his hand the last return of the Conservative Club Committee, stating that he had polled 782 votes. (Cheers.) His oppo nent had polled but 619. (Ilear, hear, and laughter.) Thou sands sympathised with him in his success ; but gloomy defeat was not without its champion. He had heard that Mr. Hodges had come forward at the last moment to share with Mr. Wilson in his defeat. (Laughter.) He had beaten Mr. Wilson by 163 votes, and Mr. Hodges, the champion and coadjutor of Mr. Wilson, by 765 votes. (Cheers.) The victory was not only his, it was al s o th e v i c t or y o f t h e elec tors of Canterbury. (Cheers.) He returned them his hearty thanks for their zeal and exertions in the cause ; and he would remind them, that their whole course had been marked by a series of triumphs. First, the meetings in his favour had been over. iing in numbers and respectability; secondly, his canvass was most flattering; thirdly, the show of hands at the nomination had been in his favour; and now the re- salt of the poll was his fourth and crowning triumph. (Loud cheers.) He begged permission to recommend them to re turn to their homes and their families, to rejoice with those whom they loved and respected in the happy determination of those severe snd laborious exertions to whi c h h dt _ _ _ _ )ted for his return. (Cheers.) Again he thanked and before long he hoped to have an opportunity of showing, by his conduct as their representative in the Commons' House of Parliament, how much he felt the obligations they had confuted upon him while he was merely the solicitor of their suffrages. (Cheers.) Mr. Partridge, the Chairman of the Conservative Club of Canterbury, congratulated the members and their friends on the result of their labours, and observed that they were suffi ciently paid in having secured the return of a gentleman of so much talent, and such high characeer, as the Hon. Mr Smythe. lar- The mu titude then gave three cheers for " Smythe, the Queen, and the Constitution," and departed. REIGATE ELECTION, NOMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES -RETURN OF THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE. REIGATE, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3.—This being the day appointed for the election of a member to serve in Parlia ment for the borough of Reigate, in the room of Lord Somers, the electors assembled at the usual hour. T. Martin, Esq., the high bailiff of the borough, presided. The writ having been read, and the other formalities being completed, W. Dixon, Esq., stood forward to propose Lord Eastnor, as a candidate to fill the vacancy in the representation of the 'borough. (Cheers.) The noble lord whom he had the honour ro propose at the last election had been called to the upper house, and the electors were now called upon to say who should till the vacancy that was thus occasioned. Lord Eastnor was born in their town, and had resided among them many years, and they all knew him well. He came before them as a conservative—(cheers)—which, according to his conception, meant that futile milieu between liberalism, as it was called, which too frequently degenerated into some thing very much like anarchy, and high toryism. (Cheers.) Lord Eastnor professed to be a conservative of all that was valuable in the institutions of their country, but he was still liberal enough to reform all that was bad, or what required alteration. (Cheers.) These were the principles that had been entertained by the noble house of Somers since the year 1688, and they would recollect that the great Lord Somers had been instrumental in placing the present royal family upon the throne of this kingdom. (Cheers.) It had been made a reproach against Lord Eastnor that he was young; he would admit that he was young, but he would be able to grow older and wiser. Mr. Price seconded the nomination. The High Bailiff then inquired whether any of the elec tors had another candidate to propose ? After some little delay, Mr. Piper, a breeehes•maker in the town, nominated Dr. James Bedford. The High Bailiff inquired whether any elector would second the nomination, and no answer was returned. Dr. Bedford entreated the high bailiff to grant a little delay. He had been deceived. He had been given to understand that Mr. Birt would second his nomination. The High Bailiff.—We must proceed regularly. If no one seconds the nomination of Dr. Bedford, there is an end to the election, so far as he is concerned. _ The High Bailiff put the question, and Lord Eastnor was declared to be duly elected to serve in parliament for the borough of Reigate. (Cheers.) SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY (From Messrs. I?. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) With intense frost during the week, accompanied by a heavy fall of . snow on Wednesday, and the wind continuing to blow strongly from the east, scarcely any grain vessels have entered this port since Tuesday, so that the supplies fresh in for to-day are extremely small 1 in the course of the last two days, however, fair quantities of Wheat and Flour have been offering from granary, which, though not met by any active demand, were steadily held for previous rates ; and in the value of other articles no decided change was ob servable. The duty on foreign Wheat is ]s per qr, on Flour 7d per barrel lower ; on Pease Is 6d per qr. higher, for the ensuing week. At this morning's market the Wheat trade continued to exhibit considerable firmness, and upon a fair enquiry from our local and neighbouring millers, besides several parcels taken for holding over, sales to a tolerable extent were effected, principally in samples of new Irish, and the middling descriptions of foreign, at an improvement of ld. per 'Nibs on Tuesday's currency ; in the value of En glish and fine foreign Wheats, however, no advance can be made. The demand in country orders was very limited. Flour was in moderate request, and fully supported late prices Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease met a very slow sale with out alteration in value. The stocks of Oats being reduced within a narrow compass; holders required rather more mo ney, but being without country buyers, the demand is insuf ficient to take off even the limited quantity remaining in store.

Od THE BISHOP OF ERMELAND CONFESSION OF THE MURDER It appears from the accounts of kulinapleFs examinations in the German papers that his obstinacy in denying all know ledge of the murder and robbery was not overcome until the arrival at Frauenburgh of the counsellor of police, Dunker, who was sent from Berlin to inquire into the facts of the case. This officer succeeded on the 10th, after having had the prisoner under examination for six hours, in drawing from him a confession of his guilt. The following is, in substance, what he stated :—F°r four weeks he had resolved in his mind to rob the bishop, and also to kill him. if that should be ne cessary to secure his own safety. He could not, however, bring himself to any positive determination as to the day on which he should commit the crime. On the morning of the 3rd, he thought he would carry his purpose into effect that evening. When the evening came, he put a hatchet under his coat and proceeded to the parish church to look for the bishop's servants. He saw the domestics, so often alluded to, enter, but he hesitated ; he was not certain, he said, that the day was a lucky one for him. He said to himself— " Take care. "If I meet a woman, I will not go to the bishop's this evening, for women are unlucky ; but if I meet a man, I will go." While going out of the church door he encountered a woman ; but he thought " this is no meeting, for lam not vet out of the church." In the street he met three men, one after the other, ',Mott he enneiderea a good augury, and he immediately directed his steps to the hill on which the episcopal palace is built. Still as he went along he felt his mind uneasy, on account of having met a woman at the church door. He therefore resolved to rely on a new augury. "If before the clock strikes six I shall see the moon thrice covered with clouds, I shall go to the bishop's, if not, I shall defer the business to another day." He then walked about a short while in the expectation of this sign, and saw clouds pass four times over the face of the moon. He was now satisfied that every thing favoured his project. He put on a mask, which he had brought in his pocket, and proceeded without delay to the fatal spot. On arriving at the bishop's he knocked, and the old housekeeper answered the door. Seeing a man masked, she was agitated, and he knocked her down with the back of the hatchet. She was however able to get up, and he asked her for money. She assured him she bad none, and then he insisted that she should go and get some from her master. She promised to do so, and he assisted her up stairs to the bishop's bed-room. He stopped at the door, and heard the bishop bid h er b r i ng the man in to him, and he would give him something. On his entrance the bishop, being greatly alarmed, drew out his parse. and gave it to him. Kuhnapfel said that was not enough. " Well, you shall have pore," said the bishop, and opened a commode, out of which he gave him a gold snuff-box and a gold watch. The wretch still demanded more, and in the mean time the housekeeper slipped out of the apartment. Kuhnapfel ran after her, and dealt a blow at her, which was at this time given with the edge of the hatchet, and she fell on the floor. All this occurred so rapidly that the bishop, who was in the further corner of his bed chamber, opening the drawers of the commode, had no idea of what bad happened. The prelate gave him a purseful of Prussian dollars, and then another purse with gold. He afterwards handed him certificates of state debt to the amount of 40,000 dollars, remarking that he had nothing more to give. Kuhnapfel then ordered the bishop to light him down stairs, as he did not know his way. The bishop tried to light a wax taper, but he was so terrified and trem bled so much that he could not. " Give it to me," said Kuhnapfel, and, taking the taper, he lighted it, and gave it to the bishop to carry. In this way the murderer was shown down into the hall, where the housekeeper lay. They heard her groans, and saw her lift her head c overe d w ith blood. Again the murderer raised his hatchet, and gave her some blows, in doing which, his mask having got deranged, he pulled it off and threw it on the floor. The bishop fell on his knees, exclaiming, " Oh, my God I" Instigated by an irresistible desire to shed blood (such were his words), Kuhn apfel lifted his hatchet and fractured the skull of the prelate, who fell prostrate at his feet. He continued to strike his victim, and he could not tell how often he had struck him. He then left the house, determined to kill whoever he might meet, either within its walls or in the court. After this con fession he acknowledged that he had been guilty of many other crimes. ENTRY FOR THE LIVERPOOL GREAT NATIONAL STEEPLE CHASE, ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3.

With°Lt being able to notice any important transactions in the Butter trade, since our last publication ;—we may remark that holders of all descriptions of Butter demand ully as high prices ; and that their confident tone is a 7 good dii,justlfied by the con tinued severity of the weather. Canadian Beef and Pork is still shipping in moderate quantities for Australlia &c. Irish barrelled provisions are only saleable by retail for ship stores. Heavy Beef appears to be scarce, hut other kinds are in plentiful supply. Bacon moves off very slowly,—and prices have a downward aspect. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, FEB. 3. Scotch: A fair quantity of Scotch wool has changed hands this week, and the improvement reported in December last has been firmly _ established. Prices remain without any alteration. Im- ported this week, 246 bags : previously this year, 479 ; 743. Foreign : —The public auction of colonial and other wools held, induced several buyers to attend our market from the interior ; and altogether the affair went oft in rather a spirited manlier. An im vrovement of lid to 2d per lb was realised on Australian, and the other descriptions brought the annexed quotations :—East India, 425 bales, white Sd to Sid, yellow Sid to ;id, grey 43d to Id ; Russian 235, white lid ; Monte Video 173, white 4d to leid ; sundries 93, the greater part damaged ; Australian 679. prime combing 2s to 2s lid, fair ditto Is 7d to 2s, low ditto Is 4id to Is lid, fine clothing Is 10d to 2s, fair ditto Is 7d to Is led, low ditto Is 4d Is 7d, lambs Is 40 to Is I lid, locks and unwashed Sid to is 6d. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 4. On . Tuesday our market .was more animated than usual, and from 5,000 to 6,000 bales were sold, but flat accounts from Man chester, with the unsatisfactory intelligence of the United States Bank, brought by the Cambridge, have caused quite a stagnation, and yesterday only 2,500 bales were disposed of. To-day we are quiet, but the market very steady, and prices generally are main tained; some few parcels of new Cotton may have been met with at an id below the full prices of Tuesday last : the total amount is from 3,000 to 3,500 bales. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 2. (From the Circular of Messrs. Tames Scott 6r Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Foreign Wheat Coastways from London, have been to a fair extent—rather exceeding our moderate demand, but in our last week's quotations we can note no alteration. In the duties payable on Grain from Foreign ports there has been no alteration since last Friday, and the demand for Flour or any kind of the Grain in Bond for export has been very trivial at prices last quoted. At this day's market there was rather a better demand for good Foreign and Irish Wheat, at full last week's rates, and in several instances Id to 2d per 70 lbs advance was obtained, but for all other articles in the Corn Trade, sales were very limited, at about our last quotations.
