PERSONATION 01' VOTERS AT CITY ELECTILNEI.

Mr. GRESHAM said he should feel obliged if tie City
Solicitor would inform the court what bad become -f the
directions given respecting three men, namely, Thomas
Penny, James Penny, and Laurence Shaw, who on the
16th June were convicted at the Central Criminal Corn
of personation at the election, he believed, of Chamberlain
The court had then directed a reward to be offered fer th:
detection of the persons who had been instrumental .c
procuring the bribe. There had been two or three dee-
tions since the period in question, and the same
practice had been found to be In existence. He (Mr
Gresham), therefore, wished to know what adverfisementi
bad been issued, and what had become of them. (Hier.)
The CITY So/a:lron replied that in pursuance of the
I orders of the court, advertisements had been generally cir-
cula•ed through the City, as well as in the districts where
the parties resided who hail been instrumental in procuring
the bribe, and also on the river side, the low neighbeur-
hoods from which it was supposed the practices complained
'of generally proceeded. He had not received any informs-
lion in answer to these advertisements calculated to throw
any additional light upon the subject. It was perfectly
well known who the man was that hired the parties to
personate, but he had no means of obtaining evidence
against him, except the oath of the parties them-
selves, who, ►lthough competent, were not credible
witnesses. He (the City Solicitor) could not go into
a court of justice with any expectation of convicting
a man of inciting them to the commission of a crime, when
they themselves stood convicted of the crime of perjury. lie
had no doubt that the party whom it was well known em-
ployed these parties conducted a sort of trade in matters of
this sort, for two of the men found guilty bad voted for one of
the candidates, and another, hired and paid by the same
man, had voted for the other candidate. It was therefore
the same source that supplied both elections.

Mr. ANDEILTON—I believe the greatest criminal is the
man who found the money. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.)

Mr. GRESHAM—Who is the party to whom the City
Solicitor alludes as being well known ?

The Cire SoLiciron—The name was stated in answer
to a question at the trial at the Old Bailey.

MINES.

- • -
TVESDAT El ENING.
Notwithstanding the fluctuation in the other depart-
ment:i of the security markets, good English divideod
mining stocks continue inquired for, with few sellers
and no weakness in price. This firmness is probably
owing to the favourable appearance of the market
for copper and lead. The sales reported to-day are
South Caradon at 232 a, 235; Alfred Cnals, 221,
231; Tiunipet Consols, 130; Comford, 271; Trefu-

Lanarth, 14; Esgair Lice, 10; Wheal Golden, 2;
Wheal Chiverton, 3,1; Wheal Cupid, 71; West
Stray Park, 7 ; Cook's Kitchen, 11, ; Tryphene,
; Cam Darren 6s. Cl., 7s. 6d.
The gold mining shares were generally flatter, and
the late advance was not fully supported. At 4
o'clock Colonial Gold wero quoted JIG to 11-16
prem. ; Fort Phillip, Z to 1 dis. ; Griot Nugget, it to
prem.; Nouveau Monde, to 1 prem.; Agua
Fria, 9-16 to 11-16 prem.
Other mines showed little change. West! Indian
descriptions were flatter. Metcalfe closed 21 to 21
prem.

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK.

The gold mining share market to-day is dull, but
prigs are steadily supported. Agua Fria are quoted

CAUTION To FAI:MERS.—A flock of fine ewes, all
in lamb, and amounting to nearly 900, were closely folded
on Tuesday night upon a piece of rape and buck wheat at
New Batn Farm, in the parish of Calbourne. the
shepherd paying a sieit to his fltwk on Wednesday morn-
ing, 118 of them were already dead from the effects of gross,
feeding— the animals getting blown, they were soon
choked, and turned over on their backs, without the re-
motest hope of saving them. Farmers, at this season of
the year, should be particularly careful not to place sheep-
food more than usually luxurious within the reach of the
Hoek., or they may apprehend a like lamentable result.—

public-house to drink. I objected that I was ill, and that
drinking did not agree with me. Ile then knocked me

children. This morning at five o'clock, upon awaking, he
took up a largo wash-hand basin, struck me on the eye,
and threw a quantity of water over me in the bed, so that
I was afraid one of the children woula be smothered. We

tomed to this sort of treatment. no Is constantly in the
habit of pawning the things for the puma* of getting drink,
and he always beats and kicks me when he is drunk.

very well if you look '.ver this soy lord. We never have
any dispute except about the religion of the children, end
she want, to have them brought up in one religion and I
want to have them brought up in another.
The Wife—There's not a word of truth in what he says.

A Policeman—At five this naming I was called to the
house by the landlord, and tiund the woman hallo.ing and
screaming murder, and I was obliged to break syeu the

MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

The arrirals of all descriptions of grain have ben very
short since Monday. The unsettle.t aspect of the Eastern
question. and the reported declaration cf war by Turkey
against Russia, caused holders of wheat to ask matevially
eLbancid rates, which checked bathos', and although no
accurate advance can be quoted, an improvement f f Le. per

refund.

Flour was held for higher rata.

DEATH FRO3I LOCK-JAIV CAUSED BI"
It

Last evening, Mr. W. J. I'ayne, the deputy
coroner, held an inquest at Guy's-hospital, on the body of
Matilda Stokes, aged eleven years, who (lied in that institu-
tion. The deceased was the daughter of a labouring man,
residing at No. 8, Queen's Head-court, Vauxhall-walk,
Lambeth. On the evening of Friday, the 23rd ult., at about
9 o'clock, the inhabitants of the court were alarmed at see-
ing the deceased rush out of the house, enveloped in dames.
Several persons ran to her assistance, and the tire having
been extinguished, the poor child said that whilst her back
was turned towards the fire, a spark flew out and ignited
her dress. A cab was procured, and deceased was brough.
to the hospital.

Mr. James Henry Brooks, house surgeon, deposed that
when deceased was brought into the hospital, she was most
extensively burnt on the right arm, leg and thigh, and
chest. She went on very well until Sunday last, when
symptoms of lock jaw came on, and the deceased gradual?
sank from inability to take nourishment, and died yesterday
morning at nine o'clock. He assigned the cause of death to
lock-jaw, brought on by burns.
The Coroner having remarked on the extraordinary
nature of the case--;
The Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

Till NEWLY ELECTED SHEITrrs

Mr. Deputy Hour said, as this was the first court since
the newly elected sheriffs had been sworn in, he was most
anxious to know what course the court proposed to take
with regard to those gentlemen. (Hear, lien.) One of
them was a worthy alderman of the City ; the other, be
understood, was literally a stringer, and inasmuch as it
had been the practice of the ceart to deal with gentlemen
in the oflictt to which Mr. Wallis was new elected, he
wished to know whether he should be in order in moving
that he be summon:d to the court to take his beat. (Hear.)
The Louu MAYOII stated that the Usual Course hail been
for some member to move that the sheriffs be showed to
take their scats.

Mr. Deputy Hour said he understood that Mr. Sheriff
Wallis had hecu summoned to the court. Ile Low moved
that that gentleman be permitted to take his seat on the
bench according to custom and usage, although Oat a
member of the court. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Deputy Mnowmc snJuded the motion.
Mr. 13,saacx was anxious to know whether Mr. Sheriff
Wallis had asked the deputy to male the motion, or
whether the deputy had applied to the shcrill for perrLisdon
to do solo (Laughter.)

Mr. Deputy MOLT replied that he would very cheerfully
answer the question. Ile knew no more of Mr. Sneritf
Wallis than ho did of the greatest stranger that passed
through St Paul's-churchyard. (Laughter.) If sty
member of the court had anything to say against his (Mr.
Deputy Mint's) proposition, he ought to come forward at
once and state his reasons why the sheriff should not take
his seat. Ile had no connexion with Mr. Wallis in any
way whatever, but seeing that gentleman in the reading-
room he had asked him whether he had been summon:it to
the Court of Common Council, and was answered is the
atlirmative.

Mr. Deputy DowEtt thought tic court ought to follow
pre.tedent in the present case. The court knew nothing
more than that Mr. Wallis had been elected to till the
otfice of sheriff—an office of dignity—and there was no
earthly reason why the motion should be objected te•
(lieu, hear.)

Mr. tinder-Sheriff ANWEILTON said he always liked to
respect office whatever his private opinion might be with
regard to the individual who filled it. Very eminently the
sheriffs were called upon at a moment's notice to proct ed to
the House of Commons upon the subject of the presentation
of a petition, and if only one sheriff were to be found in the
court, great difficulty and delay would cccur. It was with
a view to obviate this inconvenience that the practice had
been adopted of summoning the sheriffs to the Curt ce
Common Council. (Hear, hear.) He therefore hoped that
whatever private feeling gentlemen might have with re-
gard to the individual, they would make no objection tc ho
taking his seat. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. DE JERSEY supported the views expressed by Mr,
Anderton.

The motion was then put and carried unanimously;
whereupon the mover and seconder lett the court, and
shortly appeared at the bar, with Mr. Sheriff Wallis, whom
they conducted to his seat.

At the

dealers appeared disposed, on the alarming state of
the Itusso4urkish quarrel, to put prices three or
four per cent. lower than yesterday, but, as there
seemed to be some disposition on the part of the
public to buy at such a reduced range, prices may be
•aid to have been established at the opening at an
average fall of about 2 per cent., London and North
Western ruling at 102 to 103 ; Lancashire and York-

56 to .7,9, &c. From this range there was a further
decided fall during the day. Both real and specula-

latter. On the other hand, bona fide purchases
of stock in small amounts have been renewed.

GERMANY.

" It must not be believed," says the PO3i Gazette
of Frankfort, " that the Roast* affair has been aban-
doned. The Austrian government, on the contrary,
occupies itself with it with a good deal of ardour, and
the diplomacy of other governments very energeti-
cally supports it. The Russian government in par-
ticular has sent a note to its chargé d'affaires in
Washington to be presented to the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, in which the pretensions of
Austria are strongly supported, and the admission of
them is stated to be a condition sine yua non of the
continuance of international relations.
_ .

The Koseta affair must needs be something to
which Koesta himself is not necessary, since Austria
has certainly surrendered that personage to his trans-
atlantic claimants. The Post tiazette has lately en-
titled itself to the best information which the Rus-
sian chancery at Frankfort can give it respecting the
Czar's intentions upon any point ; it is, however, too
much to pretend that Russia is going to break of re-
lations with the United States for a theory of inter-
national etiquette. The Post Gazette, by the way,
gives out that henceforth it will cease to be so speci-

A MAN BURIED ALIVE.

An inquest was held at Blackleg, near Man-
chester, on Saturday, by Mr. G. 0. Butter, deputy county
coroner, on the body of Denis Dooley, who was accidentally
buried by a fall of earth whilst at work in a sand pit. The
deceased was a single man, 21 years of age, and in the em-
ployment of Isaac Neck., a farmer, at Blackley. On Fri-
day afternoon Dooley was working in a sandpit on the
farm, along with his employer's son, at a hole or delf,where
they were digging out fresh sand from beneath a very lofty
wall of earth. Nedra himself saw that the place seemed
dangerous, and told his son and Dooley to come out imme-
diately, which they did, and Neden then went away.
A short time afterwards he was returning towards the
sand-pit when his son called out to him for help.
Medea and another of his sons ran to the spot immediately
and found Dist there had been an extensive slip of the clay
from above the dolt, which had completely covered up the
deceased, so that he could not be seen. Efforts were made
to extricate him, and ins few minutes his head was unco-
vered, but he was already quite dead. The body was in a
stooping posture, the clay having struck him at the back
of the shoulders and forced him downwards. Several other
slips occurred which covered deceased up again, and it was
not until the expiration of five hours that the body was Rot
oat. The jury returned a verdict of " accidental death."

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1853.

Bence, quite in the vigour of his age, with a shining
black beard. lie spoke quite freely about his par
career. I told him I looked upon him as the &ladle
of the age. He said, with a sigh, " Ah! Saladin had
men—l have not." Having asked him for hie auto-
graph, he sent me a written paper containing nine
GM in Arabic, giving me his impression of myself—
and with his signet seal affixed. Fancy my having my
own character by Abd-el-kader ! So the Turkish Divan
has scorned the combined wisdom of Europe. On
Friday last, at a council of ministers, five out of six
present declared for war, the Sheik of Islam leading
the war party, and his decision the Sultan himself
dare not oppose. How these diplomatists have
blundered over this Eastern affair! Fancy
talking of the independence of Turkey and
then drawing up propositions without ever
consulting her ! This is patting the cart
before the horse. The fact is the spirit of the Turks
has been quite undervalued in Europe. Here the
Mohammedans declare they will fight to the last in
defence of their wives and families rather than
see their country insulted and degraded by the Euro-
pean powers. Immense preparations are still going
on ; the Sultan reviews 19,000 Egyptian troops to-
morrow, previous to their marching to Varna. ()a
the 13th of August (mark the date) 7,000 Cossacks
crossed the Pruth, and the Russians have now in the
principalities 130,000 men and 130 pieces of artil-
lery. The Turkish government are not to be hum-
bugged. Let European diplomacy gild the pill as
much as it likes, the Turk won't swallow it. The
troops are enthusiastic for war ; and even though
the affair is arranged pacifically, a row must take
place.
P.S. So the wiseacres and far-teeing diplomatists
of England say that the Russians are to evacuate the
principalities on the 10th September! How very
like a whale. Russia picked the quarrel, and she
alone can settle the matter. Well might Chancellor
Oxienstern tell his son to go forth and see " what
fools governed the world." Turkey has the choice
of two evils—external war or internal revolt.

THE POLICE COVETS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

The Lord Mayor upon taking his seat said, I wish to
state in order that public notice may be taken of the fact
that I have received several communications relative to
making Monday, the 26th trstant, a general holiday, on the
ground of Christmas-day falling upon a Sunday. I believe
that the day will be generally observed as a holiday by com-
mercial firms in the City, and by other persons engaged in
trade ; but I fear the Bank of England and the ether mo-
Letary establishments of the City may find it impossible to
cease entirely from business operations. I therefore as
chief magistrate feel a difficulty in interfering further in
the matter, beyond the expression of my opinion that the
Monday will be generally observed as a holiday in the City,
and from information which I have received from the prin-
cipal prov incial towns, I feel persuaded that the day will be
kept from general business throughout the country.

STABBING.

Tionias Clayton was placed at the bar, charged with
stabbing Willism Gallasby, at Often, neer Wigan, on the
22nd Sept. last, with intent to do Dim grievous bo .ily
harm.
On evidence it appeared, en the day in question, the
parties together had been drinking in a public-house in
Omit. Ciallasby became quarrelsome, and would have
fought but fir the interference of Clayton, who compelled
him to sit down. On the latter leaving the rums, Gellasby
obtained a sickle from another person present; went out
after Clayton, and cut him severely on the head and
shoulder with the instrument. Clayton threw him down ;
but the prisoner, after getting up, followed him into the
house, and repeating the attack in a ferocious manner, dis-
abled one of the fingers of his right hand.
Guilty. Sentence deferred.
ASSAVET AND ROBBERY. . -

Rubin Towkr cud William Stager were indicted for
basin, on the 6th September, at the Old Wymb, assaulted
Henry Buckley; also for robbery. It appeared from
Buckley's evidence that he is a carrier living at Moseley, and
that be went to the Bellevue Gardens in the neighbourhood
of Manchester on the morning of the sth, where he remained
until the evening. Witness left Bellevue with two other
friends, and stopped at Hunter's tavern on their way home,
where they got some drink. Witness saw the two prisoners
in the house at the time, which was nearly twelve o'clock.
Ile and his two friends then left for Mossley, and called
at the Old Wymb Tavern, where they had some beer.
Witness left his friends behind him when he found they
would not go any further. When prosecutor got about 40
yards from the house he was attacked by the prisoners, this
one holding him by the throat, while the other took
10s. 10d. in silver, 21d. in copper, and two shoeties from the
pockets of his pantaloons.
Several others were esamined, but nothing further
elicited.
Guilty; to be imprisoned for 8 years.

TURKEY AND THE TCR.V.S.

List ertniug a lecture upon this subject wts
delivered by. the Rev. H. Christmas, M.A., F.R.S., at the
o E w k Literary Institution, Borough-road. The lee-
lure, commenced his iikeouree by recounting the pleasure
he felt when he first etheld Constantinople. But he was,
he said, less pleased whee he entered it. for this city beiag
built upon bills, sae streets were steep and . None
of he streets were drained, and were it not for about 80,000
dog', who act as scavengers, they would in a short time
become in a filthy condition. These dogs were all of them
wild, and reels district of the city had its own. The houses
were madeolwood,and have no windows in front, so that they
presented a very strange appearance. The principal beau.
Les of the city were its brailtta and mosques, both of which
acre nutatf3lol and magnificent. Every baz.ae had niches
in the aides of the • all, is which sat bearded and turbaned
Tar..., mistime their pipes, and coolly awaiting for pur.
chwers of their wares. Every bazaar sold a particular
article, and that when soy one went to buy he must be ore.
pared to be asked fur the article he was in want of ten
Linea as much as it was worth, but in other respects the
Turk was perfectly honest; indeed, he would rather have
his hand cat off than tell a lie. The mosques, some of
which were 162 feet hie, were maga:fine', which was all
he could say of them ; it was out of hie power to describe
their beauties. The Turks were exceedingly ignorant,
but had a great respect for all Christians. He kaaw of no
race so religions as the Turks, and they were not, like some
nations, afraid of being ridiculed. The rev. lecturer, after
giving various anecdotes illustrative of Turkish hospitality,
described the dress and arms of their military, and said it
was a great error to suppose they were weak in their army;
indeed it was his opinion that when they came face to face
with tte red haired unbelievers," as they called the
Russians, that the army of Nicholas, great as it was, would
sank beneath that of the Sultan.
The lecture was loudly applauded by a most numerous
asscrab:age. Tae lecturer promised, amidst much cheering,
to lecture again about Turkey at a future time.

bring the Russian captain hinneU before that dignitary.
Acting upon Mein, these officers, however, though most
courteous, spin declined to obey the writ, except by the
orders of the Admiralty, the men not being in any way in
their custody or power. In the meantime every eff.xt was
nude to get the ship tows. She was towed out of harbour
to Spithead is the afternoon, and her powder and shell fol-
lowing she took them on board. At Gentile this morning
she was observed through the fog to begetting tinder weigh,
and in another hour's time she fired a parting salute, and
wr soon out of sight.
