aad Mr. Justice =
FORGERY.— William John Lainron, 27, draper, and
Samuel Goodenough, 23, citric, were ind.cted for feloniotuds
uttering a forged order for the ch-liver 7 of goods, with intent
to defraud J. W. Pewees and Co. the prosecutes in this
case are warehousemen carrying on business in Bt. Paul's

Church-yard, and it appeared that on the 9th of January
they received a letter bi aring the Ipswich post-mark, and
which purported to be signed by a customer at Debenham
named Jackson. requiring them to send a large quantity of
goods by the three o'clock train through to Ipswich. Upoc
the belief that the order was a genuine ono, the articles were
peeked up and duly despatched by the train to Ipswich. In
eider to connect the prisoners with the transaction it. was
IiMPWIII that two or three days before the 10th January the
primers took up their residence at a public-house near the
railway station at Ipswich, and it was proved that they had
one conversation about a letter which one of them was seen
to write, and the signature to which the other said would do
very well. It also appeared that, upon the arrival of the train
et Ipswich by which the parcel bad been acnt, the
priskner Lainson inquired for the parcel, and it was given
to him, and he signed the book, acknowledging its receipt.
The next day the prisoner Goodenough was found pawning
some of the property at different pawnbrokers' in Ipswich,
and bole prisoners subsequently set off to London with the
remainder of the booty ; the boa in which it was contained
having been covered over with cloth, in order to proven its
being recoguised by the persons at the railway 'tuition.
Beside" these farts, it was also shown that the prisoners
were found dealing with the remainder of the property upon
their arrival in London, and it was produced and identified
by the prosecutor. Mr. Jackson, from whom the
ceder wu represented to have come, was likewise
examined, and he proved that it was a forgery,
and also that Lainson had been in his service at Debenham,
sad left in December last; and the forged order was proved
to be in the handwriting of that prisoner.—The jury returned
• verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, and they were
sentenced to be transported for ten years.
ROBBERY BY A CLERK.—Fronts KWh,. Schultz, 18,
clerk, was Indicted for steeling bank-note., value 6001., and
800 sovereigns, the property of the University Life Assurs.noe
Society. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Judgment respited
till next session.
Poor-orrice ROBNERT.—Richard &nand, the Post-office
letter-carrier, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday, to two
charges of stealing letters, was brought up for judgment,
and sentenced to be transported for ten years.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

IN the House of Lords, last night, Lord BROUGHAM
again brought under the notice of their lordships the
state of distress existing in Liverpool, in consequence
of the great influx of paupers from Ireland. The
Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of FITZWTLLIAM
concturtd in the hope that it would not be thought
by the people of England that there was any prospect
of a famine in this country.
In the House of Commons Lord GEORGE BEN-
TINGE moved for leave to bring in a bill to stimulate
the prompt and profitable employment of the people,
by the encouragement of railways in Ireland : the
noble lord's proposition being thitt for every 1001.
properly expended in the construction of railways,
200 t. should be advanced by the government to the
various companies, at the same rate of interest
at which the government could raise the money so
to be advanced, the whole sum to be repaid
In thirty years.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL would not

WORSHIP.STREET.—Tits Poncoristo Cass iv HACK-
NEY.— W. N. aged 12, waa charged with having
stolen • gold watch and appeneLtgee, a gold eyeglass, and
other articles of jewellery, of the value of 70 guineas, the
property of his grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Heinle, the widow
of the late Mr. Nelms, of Grovegolace, Hackney, respecting
whose mysterious death by poison a protracted investigation
is still proceeding before Mr. Baker, the coroner, and at
which the name of the prisoner has been more than once un-
favourably Introduced,--Inspector Waller said he received a
message from Mrs. Allnutt, the prisoner's mother, and
daughter of the deceased, requesting his attendance. On
reaching the house the prisoner told him that he had taken
the watch and other articles from one of the drawers in his
grandmother's bedroom, and that he had afterwards thrown
them from the parapet of an upper room into the gutter of
the adjoining house, where they had ever since remained.
He went with the boy to the front attic of the house in ques-
tion, and in a recess pointed out by the prisoner the whole
of the articles were found. The prisoner said that he had
been tempted to commit the act, and expected that it would
never be found out. Neither the widow of the deceased nor
the prisoner's mother were in attendance, as they had not
sufficiently recovered from the effects of the poison they had
taken to allow of their appearance. The prisoner wes re-
manded, and it was stated that his friends wished him to be
kept in custody.

arose, and the boxes of the female prisoner were searched,
and in them was found a great deal of valuable pio-

address of Mr. Hickman was found in tine of them. His
(Mr. Hickman's) chambers were searched, and a consider-
able amount of property found, which belonged to the
prosecutors. At Oumley, in Leicestershire, on the pre-
mises of the elder Simons, who keeps a small publiothouse,
were found boxes containing a great deal of property, proved
to have belonged to the prosecutors. Yesterday it was shown
that Elizabeth, the sister of Ann Simons, had pawned some
shawls and other articles, which were produced. Two of
the shawls were valued by Mr. Marshall at 121 guineas
each.—Mr. Ballantine contended that Mr. Hirkins,n, his

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
Mr, LABOUCIIERE mid the house WAS aware that in
two previous sessions select committees had been appointed
preparatory to the commencement Of private business and
that those committees had been atteaded with the most bene-
ficial results. He thought that in the present case, the
house having met so long previous to the usual time for
private business an excellent opportunity was afforded for a
similar proceeding. From the committees which had sat in
previous sessions most important improvements had re-
sulted. One, for instance, that of allowing inquiries for stand-
ing orders to be made by paid officers previous to the sitting
of parliament, had caused a saving of hundreds of thousands
of pounds to suitors, and he believed that that saving bad
been effected at an expense of only eleven or twelve hundred
pounds per annum to this public. (Hear, hear.) For this
the house was greatly indebted to the hon. member for
Montrose, who had devoted so much of his time is the regu-
lation of private business. Without attempting to lead the
proposed committee, be would point out one or two features
which, he thought worthy their attention. Great advantage

We have had one of the severest contests ever known in

as at Nottingham, a tory and chartist might be re-

menced polling. with great vigour, and continued to do so
up to mid-day, when their strength was nearly exhausted.
At half-past two o'clock they were confident they had won
the election, but that was precisely the time when the libe-
rals, instead of being dejected, raised their spirits and redou-
bled their exertions. The result was, that the two liberals,
Mr. Strutt and the Hon. L. Gower were at the held of the

AT OLDHAM, ALTER THE CLOSE OT THE POLL, 011 Fri-
day, there was great excitement among the friends of the
defeated candidates, and many of these persons were very
violent, upsetting coaches and cabs as they were pasting

electors had been ill-treated, and one very much beaten, the
soldier, were not called upon to sot offensively.

Beret:MON OP MARY-ANN MILO za.—The young married
woman, Mary-Ann Milner, who was condemned to death by
Mr. Baron Rolfe, at the late Lincoln wires, for the wilful
murder of her mother-in-law, Mary Milner ; her sister-in•
law, Hannah Sickens; and her niece, Ellen Sickells, by
poisoning them with arsenic, was executed at the city gaol,
Lincoln, on Friday, at neon. More deliberate murders,
probably, could not De found in the annals of crime, and the
only imaginable motive for the conduct of the woman was
the obtainment of monies from burial clubs on the deaths of
the deceased. They all resided in the village of Barnetby-
le-Wold, aad it would seem that her husband's parents soli-
cited her to make them some sago, they being in ill-health.
She made some, and, as was afterwards discovered, put in it
a quantity of arsenic. The aged couple partook of the sago,
and in a short time the mother-in-law expired. Her partner
survived, but he is at present in a dreadful state of suffering
from the effects of the poison. The sacrifice of her sister-in-
law, Hannah Sickens, who was a married woman, and bar
child Ellen Sicken', we. thus effected. She invited them
to breakfast on the 26th of June, and for the meal they
had pancakes. In the course of two hours, Hannah
Sickens to turned home with her child, and they were
both violently sick. She said they had been eating wakes
which had been poisoned, and on this being represented to
the prisoner, she made no remark, but turned exceedingly
pale. Their wittier considerably increased, and in a
few hears they died. The similarity of their deaths excited

sutpleion, and the prisoner *As desired to preserve what thu
deceased had thrown up. This she neglected, and threw it
away in the dust-hole. It was then ascertained that she
had purchased poison of a neighbouring vender of drugs,
and that she had beta seen to drop a powder in the pan-
cakes while making them. The evidence, although Cl/C.Ol.
&tenths), ',salary eoncli.sive; and Baron Rolfe, in sentencing
her to deuth, expressed his Strut conviction of her guilt, and
held out not the sFghteet hope of her life being spared.
This it seems she readily antictpated, for, on her return to
her cell, she made a full confession of her crimes, and the
mode by which she accomplished them. The utmost time
allowed fur a convict to live alter condemnation having
expired, the extreme penalty of the law wu carried into
effect on Friday. In proceeding to the drop she conducted
herself with meth composure. The usual preliminaries
were quickly adjusted, and the drop having fillets, the mur-
derer, after struggling a few seconds, teased to exist.

erpetliity entailed on the direct male heir descend

anti of the current possessors (some 3,000), it is rarely
the case that an heir comes into possession without
being burdened with debts contracted, not merely
daring minority, bat during expectancy. In posses-
sion he may have to contribute to the support of the
widows and children of his predecessor,orthe younger
members of his own family, but, leaving them out of
view, and taking only his own liabilities, a very
supposable case is that of a party succeeding to a rent
roll of 2,0001. a year, but with 20,0001. of debt. Two
years ago the rate of interest would have allowed his
estate to have been mortgaged for this rum,
at an annual coat of 7001. a !year, leav-
ing 1,3001. for family expenses. But the entail
system makes mcetmain imperative, and therefore he
mud borrow at a higher rate of interest, and insure,
his life besides; and, to do both, 8 per cent. or 1,6001.1
a year is necessary, leaving him only 4001. a year for
himself. All this might have taken place two years
ago ; but now matters are entirely changed, and here
is the explanation :—Two years ago the interest on
deposits it Scotch banks was 3 per cent.—and so ac-1
mistimed are we to investment, that it is a proverbial I
fees of man for Best& people to say that at
leek anal their money is lying uselessly in the
hank. leaded promieleti will give 3} and 4 per
aunt. in set* mess, and then money is freely lent
them ;and, so long as "pipiegeinies of peace con
all is well ; bat when a Miele MOM like the prem.*
and when any. one will give 6or 7 cant tee
money, a run is made on landed penpeielns, either
to refund the capital, or pay inereened inte-
rest. The last straw breaks the essurs kink, and
this is it, for, groaning under previews burdens, the
slightest additional proem beings all to the ground.
The law of entail abolished, a proprietor by selling a
third of his domains might redeem the other two-
'
I thirds. But in the process the artificial stilts on
which land has hitherto stood will be wholly knocked
away. An earl's castle will be attached fee debt as
ruthlessly as the shop of a bankrupt abeememegsr—
and an improvident baron will buns to ge then*
the world with a shabby coat as asel as we new
see a spendthrift sharebroker with eted elbows.
Property will then come into the hands of
.pedant
city merchants, who will know their own interests
better than to keep deer forests, or to overrun their
tenants' crops with game. Such will be the commer-
cial effects of free trade in land—the moral opens op
a wide field for discussion.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their lordships met at 2 o'clock, when, the Commons being
summoned, they appeared at the bar, headed by Mr. Ley,
the chief clerk, when, the Royal commission for opening
the session having been read,
The LORD CHANCRLLOR said We have it in com-
mand from her MAjesty to let you know that you shall here-
after be informed of the cause of calling the parliament
together; but, it being necessary that a speaker of the
Rouse of Commons should first be chosen, you will for that
purpose return to the place prepared for your meeting, and
chosee a speaker, aid present the person whom you shall
so choose here to-morrow, at two o'clock, for her Majesty's

approbation.

EQUITY CRUET!.

Before ,i; core TI;OCAIT;.
His lordship, after taking his seat, gave judgment in the
following cases, which were argued before the long vacation
ANDRIWS v. LOCKWOOIL—PLRADING.—BILL OF Re-
ViSOR FOR COSTS ALLOWED.—This was an appeal from an
order of the Vice-Chancellor of England. It appeared that
a bill had been filed by the above defendant against a Mr.
Abdy and • Mr. Andrews, and the same was dismissed with
eats. Andrews died before his costa were paid, and his
personal representative filed a bill of reviver to enforce pay-
ment of the costs trom Lockwood, who filed a plea in bar
stating that the decree in the former suit had been executed
in all respects except the taxation and payment of costa.
That plea was allowed by the Vice Chancellor as a bar to
the bill of reviver. The Lord Chancellor new, in
giving bis judgment, after shortly stating the way
in which the point was brought before him, said
two points had been raised in the arguments on the appeal.
The first was, whether in the cue of a decree directing the
payment of coats and of the subsequent death of the party
to whom they were to be paid, tke representative of that
party could revive the suit for the pnrpuee of obtaining the
benefit of the • order for coats ; the second was, whether the
plea had properly raised the question. The But impression
of the Vice. Chancellor appeared to have been 'panic
the plea, and bia lordship thought that was a correct kn.
premion. His lordship referred to • case of " Askew v.
Townsend" (Dickens, 471 i, and said the plea ought not to
be allowed; and he, therefore, discharged the Vice-Chan-
cellor's order.

SCOTLAND.

EDINIIIIIIOII, Nov. 16.
Lord John Russell's loss of the Lori Rectorship of
the University of Glesgow will probably beire
by the Premier as a deliverance rather than arfll
Had he been re-elected, he must, of necessity, have
come down for inauguration ; and the trouble of doing
so at any period of the session, to say nothing of the
preparation and delivery of the usual oration, would
have been amply equivalent to the honour conferred.
Colonel More will probably lend his influence to the
university test party, while Lord John would almost
certainly have taken the other side. Only about one-
half of the students voted, so that Colonel Mare's
triumph of 13 votes is not very signal after all.
The landed proprietors of Scotland, titled and untitled,
are now in a position eminently critical ; and as they
are apparently removed from the operations that pre-
sently distract the mercantile world, an explanation
of this seeming phenomenon is naxssary. Premising

COMMERCIAL dr MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Half-past One.—The funds opened heavy, at 84 to
4 for C.onsols, money and account ; and subsequently
declined to 871 to 4. The sales of the Inuties who
operated yesterday were not continued this morning.
On the contrary, one of the brokers who sold most
largely yesterday has madonnas purchases for the next
account, the effect of which is that Consols have sow re-
covered to 84 to 1. The market does not,however,wear
a healthy appearance. An impression prevails in some
quarters that the Bank directors, at their weekly
board to-day, may tome to the conclusion of redwing
the high rate of 8 per cent. interest, so arbitrarily
and unaccountably imposed upon them by the govern-
ment. But it seems scarcely possible such should be
the case. As the rate was imposed by, so it
could not be modified except with the moment at, the
government. It would be to stultify their own act
at the precise moment of the meeting of parliament,
when they will be called upon for a justification of its
policy, and when, moreover, the whole question of
banking and currency will perhaps have to be re-
opened. Reduced Threes are 824 to ; ; Three-and-a-1

But the relaxation of the French duty on Belgian yarn
has created a factitious market for that article, at a price
that it does not bring in the open markets, and which
threatens to entail a lass of capital when differential duties
shall be abolished. The raw linen yarn exported to France
in 1845 was 2,134,965 kilogrammes, valued at 3f. 60c. per
kilo., or ls. 6d. per lb., to which price, of mune, all that
was retained for instant consumption must have been raised.
It is scarcely possible to speak in terms sufficiently strong
of the ignorance of mercantile and financial principles which
the French treaty betrayed, and which has been exposed
by its operation.

COMMERCIAL If MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Iwo o'Clock.—We have again the same sort of
chequered stock market. Consols were first quoted
844 to 4, from which they advanced to 844, money
and this account. This advance, it now appears, was
the result of the failure in the house of
Mr. John Williams, jun., a dealer upon an extensive
scale, and a gentleman possessing very much the
confidence and respect of the members of the Stock
Exchange generally, by whom his misfortune is
greatly regretted. He had been habitually a large
seller of Consols, having a strong opinion adverse to
the rise or the stability of prices. He was consequently
what is called a " bear" at considerably lower rates
than have ruled for some time past. His heavy ac-
count had therefore to be bought in so as to close his
affairs, and hence the main cause of the temporary
rise of prices. The failure is said to be for about
20,0001. of differences againt him. That sum would
rerweat transactions for many hundreds of thousands
of pounds. Such an event would of course de-
range the account.s of all who had declines with him.
Those who had bought from or sold to him, had also
sold to and bought from other parties. The stock
which he bad engaged to deliver or take had to be
replaced by other purchases or sales, and so on
through a wide circle of brokers and dealers. Mr.
Williams, it is stated, has quite justified the
high o ' ion entertained of his integrity. He is
reported to have remitted by a friend the sum of
10,0001. to the committee of the Stock Exchange this
mornihg, to be applied towards the liquidation of his
engagements ; and it is expected that be will
be enabled to realise as much more as
will make fifteen shillings in the pound
for his creditors. Of course he does not forfeit his
position in the house after such conduct. In fact, say
defaulter honestly surrendering his books and assets,
and showing his inability to pay more than 6s. Bd. in
the Found, would not be deprived of his rights of
membership. It appears now that a part of Mr.
,Williams's account was brought in yesterday by his
friends, which contributed to assist the improve-
ment in prices then noticed.
From 844 Consuls descended subsequently, and
after these buying-in operations were ooncludedr to
.834 to 4. But they have since recovered, and,pow
are, quoted 84+ tog forimoney and account. Reduced

He would himself make no pledges ; he should go beck to
parliament as en independent esembur; he would
glee a fair trial to the recent ineasurse affecting
the corn-lawe, and if they should be band inefficient
for the purposes intended, and destructive to the agricultu-
ral interest, he would strenuously work foe a return to ade-
quate protection. With the general principleaof Lord John
Russell he differed, but he would not be a party to afar him
sly factious oppoaition ; and when he found him proposing
measures which in his (Sir J. Trollop's) opinion were cal-
culated to uphold the interns and the honour of the nation,
he should have his warm support. With regard to
the religious question which had been recently mooted,
he should strenuously oppose the endowment of the
catholic priesthood out of the funds of the state.--Lord
Burghley, who was received with cheers, accompanied with
much hissing and uproar, briefly declared that he was in
favour of protection to agriculture, and opposed to any
measure that would weaken the protestant establishment.—
The proceedings then terminated.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE (SOUTH).
Yesterday the nomivation for the southern division of
Northamptonshire took place. Mr. Pierrepont proposed,
and Mr. Rose seconded, Sir C. Knight:el ; Sir H. Dryden
proposed, and Mr. Kenning seconded, Captain Yyse ; and
Mr. H. B. Bawbridge proposed, and Mr. Laughs=
seconded, Lord Henley. It was a most noisy meeting. The
'hew of kends wu declared to be in favour of Sir C. Knight-
ley and Lord Henley. A poll was demanded by Capt. Vyse,
and the polling tined to commence at nine a.m. on Monday.

STAFFORDSHIRE (NORTH).
A contest has sprung up here unexpectedly. Up to Friday
the return of Mr. Adderley and Mr. Buller was looked upon
as certain. Subsequently, however, to his defeat at New•
castle, Lord Brackley announced his purpose to contest the
division, relying, doubtless, on receiving the support of the
Dake ot Sutherland, which has hitherto been given to Hr.
Buller. In these circumstances the latter announced his
