Its Political Information is derived from unquestionable sources ; and whilst it keeps its readers conversant with all important occukrences, political and social, both at hom eau d a b roa d—th e lighter, but unimportant, claims of Literatire'and Art are equally represented in its columns. The constant aim of the present Conductors of THE MORN-• ING CHRONICLE is to make it an organ of ipfluence, amongst Statesmen and Public - Men of all denominations; and whilst presenting : a faithful reflex of the events and feelings of the day, not to lose sight or the permaient interests and prospeo tire destinies . of-society. - mw!

Its principles are those so forcibly expressed by the a../1 of. Derby, at the recent Liverpool ,Banquet, when he said, speak of that Conservatism which is not obstructive, but which is the best promoter of safe and gradual social improve ment,—of that Conservatism which, strenuously adhering to The cid machinery of the Constitution, adapts from time to time the various parts of its mechanism to the real requirements and the real capacities of the age iii which we live,—of that Con servatism vbicb should give 14.41 orders_ and degrees of men w.ithir„this realm their due weight, authority, and preponder ance,—of that Conservatism which laves the interests of the pie at Is,rge 'but will not be led away by the noisy denuncia tions of blustering demagogues, either to shrink at the voice of menace, or timidly-to make cencetsionsrin large bodies of menlor the purpose of obtaining a temporary Popularity, when in our hearts we believe the concession of those coveted boons wirald be the worst injury we could inflict upon the classes it is.sought to benefit:" Such is the Conservatism of which the Northern Times is now the faithful and unflinching advocate ind never, perhaps, was there a moment when a temperate and judicious application of, the Daily Press to' the. espousal Atf 'its cause, and, the dissemittation of itt - principles, was eapahle of serving more beneficial-purposes.

Its • success has so far been considerable, — the circulation already Secured is large: and increasing; it is about three times more than it was when it came into, its pre sent handS,---and if all who are Conservatives Will OnlY sup port it with their advertisements, and use their active influence to make it a profitable advertising medium, its prosperity, and therefore its influence; will soon be powerfully strengthened and confirmed. ;The late Derby Eanquet cannot but have aroused the COn servaves of Liverpool to a more active:course of public duty; and the obligation, in times like : the present, to sustain a Daily Paper in their important interest, cannot fail to be acknow ledged, and ought therefore,to be acted upon.

SMETHURST.—The public, says the _Daily New ' is probably not aware that the conviction and sentence of this prisoner will entail many, forfeitures and disabilities upon him, in addition to the actual punishment that he will have to undergo. The - offence of bigamy, as the law at present stands, amounts to felony, and any person convicted of it immediately, , loses all claim to any property, whether goods, chattels,, or land, of which he may be possessed, or be entitled to in reversion, at the time of his ,conviction. It, will be re collected that the unfortunate deceased, lady, Miss Bankes, - only two days before her death, made a will at 'the request of the prisoner, under which Dr. Smethurst was made sole executor, and would have become Possessed of the whole of her property. If, therefore, the pardon had closed the proceeding, and no further steps had been taken in reference to the charge of bigamy, he would, in all probability, have put the will in force, . and as it is doubtful whether 'the relations of the deceased could,, under the circumstances, under which the will was executed, apparently with the full know ledge and consent of the deceased lady, have resisted it, Dr. Smethurst would have come into possession of the whole of the property of Miss Bankes, which , is said to amount, to several thousand pound s . The effect. of his . conviction, however, precludes him from ob taining anything under the will, and as those upon whom the right devolves to take possession of his property are not likely to interfere, Miss Bankes will pro bably be considered as dying intestate, and the property will revert to' her fathily. It has generally been the practice where parties possessed of property have been charged with felony, in order to obviate the risk of it going to the crown, for the prisoner to execute an assignment of all his estate to some relative before trial, so that in the event of a conviction no seizure ' might be made. The law with regard'to this matter is very peculiar. In ordinary cases the property 'of a felon vests in the crown, but in some districts the lord of the manor claims the right, and there are instances on record where an extensive landed estate beleuging to a person convicted 'of felony has been claimed and seized by the lord of the_ manor. In the city of London, th e Corporatiim, by, virtue of ancient charters, claim the right to the property of r all felons convicted within their jurisdiction, and the sheriffs take possession of all property, found upon the ,prisoners who are convicted at the Central Criminal -Court ; and although articles of a trifling character are ,usually given up, still_the righcfs invariably observed. It may be remembered that in the case of the extensive gold dust robbery upon the South-Eastern Railway, a few years ago, wh en it appeare d t h at Turkish Bonds to' a considerable amount had been purchased with the proceeds' of the robbery, the sheriffs successfully asserted .their right to the possession of the property on behalf of the corporation. All the interest in any property that was possessed by - the prisoner - prior to his con viction, is now, th ere f ore , vested in the corporation of the- city of. Lond on , and they would be the parties, , if any, to derive any interest he might have under the will of the deceased lady. It is very probable that it was in order to prevent this, result that the endeavour was made at thq.trial to procure an acquittal by showing that the first marriage was not a valid one, and this view is confirmed by the fact that it was only a very short time before the case was to come on that the facts relating to the supposed marriage of Mrs. Johnson (or Mary Durham), were laid before counsel. The counsel for the crown were of course well aware of the circum stances connected with the supposed marriage, but it would not have been necessary at all on their part to have made any allusion to them if they had not been made the ground of defence for the prisoner. GLOUCESTER ELUTION COMMISSION. On Monday the commissio - Aers, James Vaughan, Esq., R. G. Welford, Esq., and L. H. Fitzgerald, Esq., ap pointed to make inquiry into the existence of . corrupt, practices at elections for the city of Gloucester, resumed their adjourned investigation, at the offices of the com mission, in Fludyer-street, Westminster.. Mr. Philip Rose cof the firm of. Baxter, Rose, and Norton) was exammed,--He acted generally as tilt Conservative agent at the last election for Gloucester. On April 8, 1859, a card was brought him with the name of Richard Thompson. He saw the person, who said to him,' "That is my. card, but my name is not Thompson: I have come to you from Mr. Crutwell, of Frome. lam told there is great expectation of a great deal of illegal practices on the part of the Liberals, and I am asked to provide a staff to 'watch the public-houses, but of course I require both the authority and the means, and I have come to ask you to supply them." Witness replied . "You are quite mistaken in my vocation ; I never interfere in elections, nor can I imagine the propriety of your coming to me in the matter." *Witness, in fact, thought it was a trap, and treated it so. The next day he called "again ; but witness refused to see him. He then asked witness's clerk for his -expenses, and witness told him to. get his expenses from the person who employed him. Had 'never seen the indivithial before and hal_never seen him since. He was a red pimply-faced man. Inasmuch as ,there never was a list at witness's office of places where money would be required to promote the Conser- -- 1 vative interest, it was impossible that Thompson could have seen it there, and if he said he had it was a total fabrication, and there was not a scintilla of truth about it. - Witness had no knowledge of any man being sent to Gloucester. Witness had nothing to do with the Gloucester election, either directly or. indirectly, and had no communication with Frail with reference to it, either at Gloucester, Shrewsbury, or any other place. Had nothing to do with the Gloucester election beyond' replying to a letter of Mr. Lovegrove's with reference to Mr: Wood, of Sandwich, and which he replied to by tele gram. Thomas Evans, bootmaker, of ,Gloucester, deposed that he received £l'3 from Thomas Brewer Monk in 1857,, and gave £6 to John Evans, of Littleworo, to vote fat Price and Berkeley, and £5 to John Puttick to vote foi the Same. • , George Allen, builder's foreman, of Gloucester, proved that he received £8 in 1857, from Monk, with, which he paid the expenses of several voters to Henley-on-Thames, together with his own expenses. John Wilton, surgeon, of Gloucester, put in a list of bribed voters, with their estimated and actual rentals, for the -uso of -the.-commissioners. It comprise& 260 voters, 123 being freemen and the others householders. John Ward, at the request of Mr. Lovegrove, having conferred with Mr. Wilton, about the list, confirmed that gentleman's evidence. - Julian Bernard was then called by the clerk of the commission, but made no appearance. Mr. C. E. Coleridge, the secretary to the commis sioners, deposed that he had duly summoned Mr. Julian Bernard to appear on a former occasion before the com missioners, and had sent the summons to his chambers in the Albany. It was acknowledged by Mr. Mount, his solicitor; of Sise-lane. He did not attend, but signed a declaration - before a police magistrate, stating that Mr. Bernard was too ill to attend. Subsequently on witness seeing him, Mr. Mount intimated that he would see him and communicate with witness, and that he would undertake he should be before the commissioners as soon as he could. Witness had written twice to Mr. Mount, stating that Mr. Bernard was required to appear before the commissioners that day, and that he would be required to produce his pass and cash book on his' ex amination, but in neither case had he received any answer. Understood, in communicating with Mr. Mount, that any communication addressed to him, reqUiring Mr. Bernard's attendance, would be received just as a communication addressed to Mr. Bernard himself. The Chief Commissioner.—As Mr. Bernard has not thought proper to attend here to-day to give evidence before us, we must conclude that he does not mean to present himself for examination, and we shall therefore have to consider what course we shall adopt with refer ence to the contempt so displayed towards us. I now adjourn the further proceedings of this commission to Friday next, at three o'clock, for the purpose of giving him a last opportunity of attending here, if lie wishes to avoid the consequences to which he is expcsed. Adjourned accordingly. ENGLAND AND SPAIN: A BRUSSELS RUMOUR.— The Nord of Brussels says :—" We have a serious announcement to make on the subjeCt of Spain. A letter from Paris informs us that England, persisting to the end in her opposition to the Spanish expedition to Morocco, has found a pretext for annoying the Cabinet of Madrid. She now claims from Spain, with a bitter ness unworthy of a great nation, the payment of the warlike stores furnished at the period of the civil war in the Peninsula. The Spanish Government, calling to mind the affair of Greece, appears to have the intention of yielding, in order to take from England all pretence for acts of violence, or for an intervention which the latter appears to seek for. Bad reasons have never been wanting to England for getting up a quarrel, and not withstanding the condescendance of Spain, there is reasons to fear serious complications." „ A WIFE KILLED BY HER 'HUSBAND.—A lamentable affair occurred during the night of Saturday last, at Bletchingly, a village near Reigate.. It appears that. Mr. Brown, landlord of the Red Lion Inn, and his wife had frequentquirrels, the latter being much addicted to drink. On Saturday evening deceased was in liquor, and much annoyed some company in one of the parlours by several times going into the room. The company left.the house between eleven and twelve, o'clock, and the lodgers went to bed between twelve and one, leaving the husband and wife 'alone in the parlour. It is probable that a quarrel again sprung up. The husband kicked his wife so violently in the abdomen that she shortly afterwards expired. Mr. Sargent, surgeon, Bletchinglv, was sent for, but his aid was of course of no avail. It appeared she died from hemorrhage. Mr. Bungard, superintendent of Police, Godstone, proceeded to Bletchingly, betw ee n t wo , an d three o'clock in the morning, and apprehended the pri soner, whom he conveyed to the police-station at God stone. Deceased was, about 34 years of age, and priso ner about 40. They have a family of five children. THE OPEN COALPITS OF STIFFORDSIIIRE.-011 Thursday the adjourned inquest was held en the body - of Thomas Sabin, who was found dead in an open eoalpit at Ettingshall, near Wolverhampton, about nine days ago. Evidence was given to show that the de ceased was found in the pit, which was nearly full of water, with his head downwards; that there were marks of his having slipped into the pit, and that the'pit was not sufficiently protected. It was inferred at the first - inquest that the pit had been sunk to get at the "stinking coal," but that, as the water .accumulated so fast, the enterprise was abandoned before the coal was reached. The coroner (Mr. W. H. Phillips) .upon this expressed his doubts that the proprietors could be pro ceeded with under the Mines' Inspection Act ; and wrote to the government inspector of mines for the district, for his opinion and his presence at the adjourned inquest, if he thought otherwise. Mr. Longridge, the inspector in question, wrote, in reply, th a t he was of the same opinion with •the- coroner, and he had laid Mr. Phillips's letter before the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Under these circumstances, the coroner said that the jury could do no more than return a verdict of "found dead," without encouraging any hope of ulterior • proceedings by the government inspector, It did not appear that the proprietors of the field had had notice given them of the insecurity of the covering, else the jury might be in a position to de liberate whether Messrs. Dodd and Williams, the Pro prietors, were not chargeable with manslaughter. If it proceedings, ini s, 4 by e summoning the - inspector m i g ht could have been shown that coal had been, got, the j ur y could not, with the present evidence, have returned o th er up these ; pee but oe t proprietors, Dodd and Williams, befo re th e mag i strates, than have fo a l n low op e e d n u and have recovered, under the Coal Mines Act, a penalty of S 5. As it was,. he (the co roner ) wou ld recommen d the jury to consider : and draw up a list of all the open pits and insufficiently fenced fields in that neigh bourhood, and give notice to the Government inspec tor, or to the police authorities, who would do so. The jury then returned ati open virdict, accompanving it with a recommendation that Messrs. Dodd and Williams should fence other pits that were open in their field; and that the field itself, which was skirted by the turn pike-road to Birmingham, but was without the least fencing, and was used by passengers to get into a cross road which ran at right angles with the turnpike-road, should also be securely fenced. The jury made severe remarks upon the great extent to which the coal pits of the district that had been worked out, now remained' utterly unguarded, and at once proceeded] to draw up a list of such cases. 3 SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.I,, This week the above club held their 61st anniversary. His Royal Highness the Prince. Consort honoured the exhibition with a short visit on Monday afternoon, and is the evening, - after the judges had made the awards, the members of th e c l u b and the press were admitted to, a private View. The club this season has to boast of a large accession of members, amongst whOiii - We noticed the follewing names as exhibitors :—ln the classes for Devons, Edmund Coles, of Yeovil, Somerset ; in the classes for Herefords, Richard ,Shirley, of Bancott, Munslow, Shrewsbury, winner of the gold medal for the best ox or steer ; and' Captain Peploe, Garnstone, Hereford ; • in the classes for short horns ; George Maxwell, of Kidbrooke, Blackheath, who_gained a prize of £lO for a steer aged two - years and ten months ; Samuel Wallis, Kettering, :Northampton ; Lovell Cowley, - Rugby, Warwick, and several others. -In the classes for other breeds, Lord Leaconfield, Lord Middleton, Viscount Boyne, W. T. Cox, Spoadon, Derby, &c. The number of.cattle exhibited slightly exceeds that of last' year, being 175 against 171 - in 1858. In the classes for Devons there is an increase of 8 ; the num bers this year is 36, against 28 last year. In the classes for Herefords there is a decrease, the numbers being 17 ag,ainit 26 in 1858. In the classes for short horns the numbers are the same for both years — namely, 42. In' the classes for other breeds, the difference is only 5, the members being for this year 80, whilst in 1858 .only 75 were entered. The animals selected by the judges for the gold medals are perfect of their .kind. The_ Hereford steer, bred and fed by Mr. Richard Shirley, aged two years and six months, is a perfect animal of its class, and the short-horn heifer, bred .by the exhibitor—Lieutenant- Colonel Townley aged three years and seven months —is also a most perfect animal. There is throughout the whole -of the cattle exhibited so much excellence, that . the judges could have had no easy. 'task in making the awards; but in -their decisions--they— have- always---kept in view - the objects of the elub—that of awarding the prizes to the animals that have been brought to perfection in the shortest time and at the least cost ; and although there are many perfect animals of the age . of -four years and upwar(, those 'which - have attained perfection at two years and a few months have - been awarded the prizes. The exhibition of sheep is very good. Mr. Francis Jordan, of Driffield, near York, has gained the gold medal for hiti pen of long -woolled- sheep. Sir William Lapel de Brooke also exhibited _a pen of fine sheep of the same class as did Mr. C. S. Foljambe. Mr. ltigden, of . Hove, Stissex, gained the gold medal for his pen of South downs. A more beautiful lot of sheep it is impossible to conceive. The Earl of Leicester, the Earl of Radnor, S. Majorihanks, Esq., are also exhibitors in this class. Amongst the successful exhibitors of_ pigs we place his royal highness at the head of.the list ; the pen for which his royal highneis received the gold medal are wonder ful animals, although those exhibited by the following gentlemen are very good George Beale, of Lutter worth ; Mr. John Coate, of Blandford, Dorset; Mr. W. M. Barber ; Lord Berners, and Mr. G. B. Morland. The present exhibition must be considered a most suc cessful one. Taken altogether it would be almost impossible to excel it. STAFFORDSHIRE WINTER ASSIZES. STAFFORD, Dec. 5. The ,commission for the Winter Assizes for this county was opened here on Saturday, by Mr. Justice Willes. HORRIBLE CRUELTY. Thomas Bennett, 24, labourer, was arraigned for feloniously _maiming and killing, on the Ist of August, at the parish of Bobbington, a gelding, the pro perty of Johh Jordin. The prisoner was in the ser vice of the prosecutor, who is a farmer. The horse was pasturing in one of the prosecutor's meadows, and was safe at four on the afternoon preceding the day of the offence, but at, five on that morning it was found dying from the effkts of most horrible brutality —dismemberment. The prisoner was arrested the same day in a bean field, and said he should not have done it if it had not been for the drink. A large claSp knife, having blood and horse hair upon it, was found in his pocket, and blood was upon his dress. A post mortem examination of the body of the animal showed that the violence had not been confined to the mere act of wounding, but that the force which was empl o yed t o d o this was f itself sufficient to maim the animal. The jury found the prisoner guilty . and in sentencing him, the judge said one would suppose that the devil had entered into the man's mind who should be guilty of such an offence. The prosecutor was here recalled to depose that he had lost - four other liblies in a similar way, without being able to discover the offender.. His Lordship continuing, said—lf he could take into consideration the further evidence which had just been given, he should commit him• to the extreme penalty that the law allowed in such cases; and as it was it would 'be necessary, for the protection of persons who had horses, and to prevent such horrible treatment of 'dumb animals, that sentence must be passed which would show him (the prisoner), and cruel and brutal ruffians like him, that they could not commit such atrocities with impunity. The court had determined to sentence him to seven years' penal servitude. In consequence of the heavy rains on Sunday and Monday morning, - some of the mills around Todmorden are surrounded with water. THE FINSBURY MunErn..—At the adjourned coroner's inquest, held on Monday, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against James Moore, for killing Mary. Anne ANOTHER Moore;" s HI hisr SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.—A tele grami ?. received in Mancheste r ,ott Monday, is to the following 'effect :—" The Canton, f rom C a l cu tt a f or London, is on shore near Ryde. Fifteen o f th e crew And the pilot are d rowne d." TAE ROYAL CremerEn.—A further sum of twenty five and a-half sovereigns, a rupee, and threelialtpenee, haVe bean-- .recovered from the wreck- of the Royal Charter ; also a carpet bag, with some clothes marked Groves, with a sealed paper parcel, supposed to be golq, and a silver-watch. It was blowing- a gale on Monday at S.S.W., with heavy rain. MORE RECOVERIES FROM THE ROYAL CHARTER.—Mr. Arthur Rich writes, from Moelfra, to the Times, on the 2nd inst. :—The heavy sea running here for the last two days has been the cause of. fourteen bodies being found, of which - the- following - drily - taniTe - idettified - F-Arßed Wharf, a lady, linen marked ' J. M. Murray ;" at Moelfra, one man, supposed to . be Edward P. Sanson ; another, Matthew Scott; a woman, linen marked "F. R. 'Munro" (supposed td be her maiden name) ; and my poor aunt, linen mailed " Eliza M. Pitcher.' -THE GREAT EASTERN.—A special meeting of the shareholders . of the Great_Eastern_Comparry has bee convened for Thursday, the 15th instant, to receive a report from the directors. The chairman is said to have intimated his intention to reoest the shareholders_on that occasion to appoinfa committee to inquire into the affairs of the undertaking from the commencement. 'All questions.of dispute between the company arid the con tractor are (as provided by the contract) left to the' arbitration of Messrs, Hawkshaw, Fowler, and M'Clean, who are now engaged thereon. TENANT FARMERS BECOME PROPRIETORS.—About forty'lots of the Duke of Devonshire's property in the neighbourhood of Dungarvan, have been sold to the oc cupiers at about twenty-five years' purchase of their -letting. value: Some - experienced valuators have been engaged valuing_ the several holdings, and making out maps, &c., of it, and, on that being done, the holdings have been offered to the tenants in possession at twenty five years' 'purchase and many of the offers have been • accepted, and already no less than forty deeds of assign ment hare been submitted for approval. It is his Grace's wish that no one on his property should be dis placed, and he is, therefore, desirous that th e occup i er should purchase the fee of his - holding.. The lots which the tenants do not purchase will be put up for corn -petition in the Lauded Estates Court.— Watolord EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL - INTENTION. —There is nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthfulness than the-breaking - of some favourite piece - of- glass, valuable China, or earthenware.. 'ln hundreds of.dises such thing c annot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an, extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be sail to he a l i n a perfect manner, all cracks and breaks in the.artieles spoken of, and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. Th e b ene fi t o f thi s article need not be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's; anti the glass that has been cemented by it. is: stronger in that part than in any other.
