TAIENTON.

Yesterday, on tho re-assembling of the committee,
Sir George Um in the chair,
J. Tune was recalled, and said—When be was at the
Four Ails, Cox and Cocking spoke to him about the money.
He told Cocking that the goods would be sold unless the
money was paid, and subsequently Cox gave him four sore-
reigns. It was a matter of general report that a person
could get money and drink at the Four Ails for their rots.,
if they wanted it. After witness had the money he told
Co: he was going to vote for Colebrooke.
Mill Birch, shopwoman to Mr. Hake, a furrier, was
called to prove that Hake had been bribed by a bill for 281.
being paid for him by Lyddon, who ordered ribbons, &c.,
at the shop, but she did not prove they were paid for.
Lyddon had several conversations with Hake, and on one
occasion went out with what she thought was a cheque.
Elisabeth Phillips said that on the morning of the elec-
tion a voter named Lenten went with Hoskins and Raw-
line to the anal Marine Inn, and Rawlins told her they
would take Leman to the pull. Lemma had formerly voted
for the blue party, and after he came from the poll she saw
him with money m his hand, gold and silver, and he asked
bar to go and get him some beer, giving her a shilling.
She said she did not like to use " green money." Leman
and Rawlings had given it him.
Evidence was called to show that a voter named Hills re-
ceived a bribe. It appeared that Onus and Upham spoke
to him about his vote, and wanted him to vote for Cole-
brooke. It was shown that Showbrooks had 'given him
M. 10s., and then these parties said they would make up
the difference if he split his vote and gave one for Colo-
brooke. On the morning of the election Rog, who was
an active partisan of the party, called him out of bed and
told him to go to his house and he would find something.
He went, and found 71. 10s. on the table with polling
cards for Labouchere and Colebrooke. Witness took the
money and the polling cards and voted for those candidates.
Adjourned to this day.

notice that on Thursday next he would le‘k the intention

tutions to districts in the metroraha.
HOP RETURNS.

In reply to Mr. M.
Mr. WILSON explained that the gevernm-nt could not
be held responsible for certain errors which appeared in the
returns of the hop acreages, because they were necessarily
dependent upon their efficers in the country. The govern-
ment would now enjiin those ofli.:ers to be more careful fur
the future.

Mr. H. O. LANG lON moved for returns of the num-
Irtr of pounds weight of leaf tobacco, unmanufactured to-
bacco, citrus, and snuff, paid duty upon, quarterly, in the

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCINO-LANE, SATURDAY MORNING.
There has heen rather more steadiness in the colonial mar-
kets during the week, but transactions have generally been
limited. Sugar un Tuesday met with a slightly improved
demand, and a fair proportion of the quantity offered was.
sold at former prices. Madras qualities, however, have
been disposed of at a decline. la foreign a good busi-
-1103 has been dune by private treaty. The Dutch
Trmiii.; Company hare advertised hi. the 12,h of
May a sale of sugar, comprising 59,818 baskets
J Aetl, their entire stock, being nearly 28,000 haakets less
than their corresponding sale loot year. The Coffee mar-
k t is Ilat, and, while some coloury Plantation Ceylon
lately imported has realised full rates at public auction,
other descriptions are not saleable unless at lower prices.
Rice is flat, and contracts have been concluded at a reduc-
tion of 3d. per cwt. Saltpetre is steady, and full rates have
been paid. The next quarterly pales of Indigo have beet
advertised for the 10th of May. The Tea market hat been
inactive until the last few days, when large speculative
operations have taken place, and nearly all of common to
good quality Congou off.:ring at market prices has been pur-
chased. The public sales of Tuesday consisted entirely of
greens of good and line qualities, and they terminated with
much spirit, many parcels having realised a alight advance.

SPAIN.

Accounts from Madrid are still of da!e anterior to
the despatch of the 12th, which owes its rapid trans-
mission to the use of the Spanish telegraph. Other
despatches and letters, however, bring some interest-
ing particulars on the progress of the crisis. Thus
a telegraphic communication, dated on the 10th (the
latest letters are of thu 9th) states that the .1/adrid
Gazette of that day contained the resignation of the
Minister of Grace and Justice, Senor Vuhey. At
this moment General Roneali and his colleagues were
still in power, and, although, as our latest letters
show, the Queen was deliberating upon the offer of
their resignation, made the previous day, the fulling
Ministers inserted in the Gazette a decree, dismissing
from their posts all senators in the public service who
had voted the government in the division re-
lut.v4: to We may expect tie, this dose
will receive from General Lersundi the same con-
demnation as that by which the Cortes were closed.

ITALY .

The horrors perpetrated by the Austrians in Ro-
magna still continue. The toLowing is an extract
from a private letter of a moat respectablu individual
there, dated the end of last month :
A certain Nevi was arrested lately in 13nlogna, and he is
visited daily is his prison by a party of Austrians. During
Ma bouts that this visit lasts, scream. are heard that go to
the very soul. Ood alone ►nows what tortures this unhappy
young rasa is made to suffer in order to fore. him to *peak.
I shudder to kof it, and every ti re an my inane teem-
blot. The son of Oregurini is also under arrest in 11,00._ms,
►ut nothing is said of ►im. and for the present it is not pm-
sable to get say iatialligeam suspecting him.
From Vienna we learn by •c.egraph that Count
Revel, the Piedmoutese ambassador, has quitti d that
capital, en rianyel--aa act which, less grave than a
formal withdrawal, marks distinctly the unfriendly
relations of the two gmernments. The Marquis de
Canton,. directs the affairs of the Sardinian legation

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
Wa have a few more Beasts to-day; choice descriptions,
however, are by no meads plentiful, and, therfore, not
much lower. Trade is very dull for middling kinds, and
it is difficult to effect a clearance. There is • large supply
of Sheep and Lambe ; the demand is very considerable, and
we are enabled fully to maintain Monday's quotations. Al-
though the number of Calves is large, the majority are of
middling quality, choice ones are consequently dearer. Our
foreign! supply consists of 203 Beast; 1,220 Sheep, and
407 Calves; from Norfolk and Suffolk 400 Beasts ; and 87
Mitch Cows from the Home counties.

NEWSPAPER STAMPS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained
leave to bring in s bill to amend the law relating to the
stamp duties on newspapers.
The bill was then read a first time.

the homes adjourned at a quarter to 3 o'clock.

Sir James Duke paired for the remainder of the week
with Sir Henry Raiford, being obliged to leave town for
Scotland.

SOUTH SEA 'iioUOL—Yesterday a special general li
Court of Proprietors of South Sea Stock was held at the
South Sea House, to consider and determine as to the
options offered to the company, under the act 16 Vie., e. 23,
for the redemption or commutation of the company's stock ;
Mr. Charles Franks, sub-governor, in the chair. The mi-
nutes of the last court having been read, the Chairman said
they had met to consider what course they should adopt in
respect to the company's stock, and it was his duty to in-
form the meeting that the directors had resolved to leave
the proprietors to do that which they might consider best
for their own interests.—Mr. Hammond was of opinion that
they could not do better than follow the course adopted on
la former occasion in respect to their annuities.—Mr. Ansell
would willingly second a motion to that effect. —The Chair-
man said the matter was left entirely to the proprietors.
Mr. Hammond then moved "that the South Sea Company
should adopt the same course regarding their capital stock
as they agreed to at the special Reneral meeting on the 26th
May last, respecting the South Sea Annuities held by the
company." Mr. Ansell seconded the motion (the effect of
which would be, that the proprietors would receive money
in preference to new stock in commutation), and it was car-
ried unanimously. A vote of thanks :was then pass.d to
the chairman and directors, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

-------- I
CAMDEN Avnltte.v.rat—Last evening a meeting,
partaking in some degree of the character of a soirie, was
held at the Vestry-hall, St. Pancrus-road, for the rtroose
of captaining the objects of this institution and the benefits
to be derived from its establishment. The Marquis
Camden occupied the chair.—Mr. T. F. Streeten read am
address from the managing committee pointing out the
general features of the Camden Athenscum, and the great
advantages to be derived from it.—Several gentlemen, in-
cluding Mr. G. Cruikshank, Mr. Charles Knight, Sir B.
Hall, Lord D. C. Stuart, Professor Carpenter, &c., having
delimeed addresses explanatory of the objects of the insti-
tution and strongly advocating support of it, the meeting
separated.

ITALY.

The Piedmonten dinette, of the 19th, publishes
the law ordering the construction of the Novara and
Arena Railway, in continuation of the Oenoa sad
Novara line. A port is to be constructed at Arena,
close to the railway terminus, and government
steamers are to ply between that place and the
northern hank of the Lego Maggiore. The cost is
filed at 4,860,000 francs. Negotiations are to be
set on foot with the Swiss cantons interested in the
matter, and with the Federal Council, for the exten-
sion of the railway to the Lake of Constance. The
Piedmontese government is besides authorised by
this law to grant to any company that might be con-
stituted for the above purpose the sum of 10 millions
of francs in return for shares.

NAPLES, Jrms 14.
The political news of the day is, the possibility of
the withdrawal of the Swiss troops, in the pay of
the King of Naples. Should the federal government
decide on such a step, it will create much alarm in she
court, as it is on this body of men that the King and
governmeut depend, more than on the native army.
The Swiss consul has lelt, it is said, charged with a
special mission from his Majesty to the federal govern-
ment.
- • •

The official paper reords another miracle; this
time an image of the " Mother of God, the Holy
Virgin," caused flames to issue from her cheat. The
whole affair is very gravely printed in the govern-
ment paper.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-THIS DAY.

There was scarcely any English Wheat at market this
morning, and its value underwent no alteration. The
snivels of foreign Wheat have been moderate ; the fineness
of the weather has, as usual, created a dullness; holders,
however, were firm, and refused to submit to any reaction.
A few transactions have taken place in Wheat and Flour
for French and Belgian account.
Holders of Oats were enabled to obtain 6d. per qr. more
money, in consequence of the paucity of arrivals.
Barley, Beans, and Peas were fully as dear as before.

governments respecting the concessions to be made to
Austria. The two cantons refuse in the most posi-

insist that the confederation has no power to deprive
them of the right. Ticino denies all participation in
the Mils* plot.

The Madrid journals of the 23rd have arrived.
The Gazette contains a royal decree, v hiCh enacts
that "that official valuations made for fixing the
duties in the general tariff now in vigour shall be re-
vised, so as to cause the duty on each article to be
levied according to its real value;" and it directs that
for that purpose, the Juntas of Commerce shall remit
the average price currents of different articles for the
last six months, and that foreign consuls shall be
invited to give any other information that may be
required. A meeting of grandees had beep held, at
which an address to the Queen against certain pot-
tions of the bill presented by the late ministers rela-
tive to the orgrnisation of the Senate and the
Grandeeship was agreed to. General Narvaez had
written letters to General Rios de Olano and Gen.
Serrano, expressing his gratitude to them for defend-
ing him in the ret*nt discussion in the Senate—
when, for political reasons, he had no reason to ex-
pect their support.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK LANE.-THIS DAY.

The receipts of grain of home growth have been small
this week, but from abroad we have received good supplies
of Wheat, Barley and Oats. The trade was not active, but
the value of both Wheat and Flour was supported.
Barley met a fair demand at late rates.
With increased supplies of Oats, it was necessary in some
cues to give way 6d. per qr. to make pregresa in sales.
Beans and Leas were unaltered in value.

The quality and condition of the fresh arrivals of Baltic
red Wheat are highly satisfactory.

THE NEW PEACE

tO V EMEIV T.

In connexion with the new peace meeting ori-
ginated at the conference recently held in Manchester, a
series of meetings have this week been held in Wakefield,
Bradford, Leeds, and other Yorkshire boroughs. These
meetings have been addressed by the Rev. Henry Richards,
of London, and the Rev. Geo. Wm. Conder, of Leeds, who
attended as the deputation from the Manchester conference.
At the Leeds meeting the following letter from Mr.
' Cobden, M.P., was read : " London, April 20,1858.—Dear
Sir,—l would gladly assist at your meeting, but fear there
is not the lent chance of my being able to be in Yorkshire
next week. Our parliamentary duties and engagements are
every day thickening upon us, and we are not free to quit our
posts even for an evening. The statement made by Glad-
stone in the beginning of his budget speech, in reference to
our increased expenditure for military purposes, was in-
tended I suppose to help the peace party ; certainly it was a
very useful and practical illustration of the folly of our
panic-mongers. The invasion cry of last autumn has coat
us an addition of 1,500,0001. a year to out expenditure.—
Believe me, truly yours, R. COWAN. lieu. G. W.
Condor."
The resolutions passed at all the meetings were eta simi-
lar import, being to the following effect :—" That this
meeting views with much regret the vast increase that has
taken place within the year in the expenditure of the coun-
try, on its naval and military. establishments, including the
new militia, and is of the judgment that such increased
expenditure, apart from its other objectionable features,
tends to diminish the public happiness, and to lessen the
power and resources of the empire by cramping the wise,
liberal, and comprehensive plans of her Majesty's govern-
meat for reforming the taxation and finances of the coun-
try ; that the continuance of peace, not only with the
great powers of Christendom, but with the nations and
tribes of Asia and Africa, would be greatly promoted by a
reduction of our armaments ; and as • means of effecting
such reduction with the greatest possible benefit to the
world at large, would hoaeatly urge upon government and
parliament to cause negotiations to be opened with foreign
powers fora mutual and extensive diminution of their and
our military and naval establishments, and to provide mewls
for the settlement of all future international disputes by
arbitration." .

Peutums to parliament, based on the above resolutions.
have been adopjed at those meetings, and will be pre-
sented to the two houses on the flat fitting occasion.

The half-yearly meeting of the General Screw
Steam Shipping Company was held today, when,
although no dividend was declared, it was stated that
the returns from passengers and freight are steadily
increasing, and are of a character to justify the ori-
ginal anticipations of the board. Since the meeting
of shareholders in November, at which it was deter-
mined to establish the line to Australia, the board
have contracted for three ships of 2,500 tons each,
one, the Jason, will be launched towards the latter
end

of May., and will be ready for sea in July, and
the others in the course of the autumn. The thanks

of the meeting were voted to the directors, and also
to the Secretary, Mr. O'Beirne, for the zeal and
ability with which he discharged his duties to the

company.
Business in United States securities this week bas
been of a fair average extent, though without any
particular demand. Prices show little alteration.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Aram 19.
The good people of Dublin, on rubbing their eyes
this morning, after their night's slumbers, find an
announcement, conveyed by electric telegraph, and
printed here in eery large letters, staring them in
the (see with the news that the income tax is forth-
with to be introduced into Ireland. It is to be
hoped, however, that the benefits conferred by the
new budget specially upon this country, and those of
which they will participate in common with their
fellow-subjects of Englund, will reconcile them to the
otherwise unwelcome intelligence.
The struggle in Athlone comes on earlier than
was anticipated, as the nomination will take place to-
morrow (Wednesday), and the polling on Friday.
It appears now a settled matter that Mr. Keogh is to
have no opponent but Mr. Norton; and, as I have
already repeatedly said, the latter has no earthly
chance of success.
Mr. 1. Wallace, proprietor of the Aiiy/o-Cal(,

of punishment, the judges retired to consider their

returned into court, and directed the traverser to sp.
