absenting himself from his office, migl t learn it at once, in
place of keeping it hanging over their heads until the very
last moment.

Mr. ASPINALL briefly replied upon the part of the plaintiff's

His HONOR : Suppose I were to direct that new elections
should take place in all these cases, when could the elections
take place ?
Mr. BLAIR : Upon the first Tuesday in December.
Mr. ASPINALL applied that in case his Honor decided upon
ordering new elections he should make some order in refer-
ence to the money now paid to the different secretaries.
His HONOR : I shall direct all these payments, to whom-
soever made, to be held as good payments. The man must
not suffer. I have a very strong impression that I had better
take advantage of the power given to me, and make an order
which would enable all the members to vote, and select the
officers under whose guidance they wish the society to be
placed. Perhaps if I come to that conclusion it will be
wiser to abstain from giving any opinion upon the conduct
of the parties engaged in this matter. It cannot do much
good and may lead to further ill-will, While I am only
anxious that the interests of the members, and of society at
large, should be protected.
Mr. ASPINALL urged upon the Court the importance of
ordering a new election for the office of Secretary, as it was
in evidence that a great majority of the members had voted
against Mr. Dowling. •

His Homm finally said : I abstain purposely from giving
any opinion upon either side, not that I do not entertain an
opinion, but that I think I shall best consult the interests of
the society, and of the members generally, by refraining from
saying anything which might tend to promote dissension
among them. I think I shall also best consult their interests
by giving them an opportunity of declaring under whose
guidance they wish the society to be. I therefore declare,
according to the powers given me, that the office of President,
Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, are all vacant, and
I direct a new election to be held
,for them upon the first
Tuesday in December : that all payments shall be Ulu good
which were made to the society : that all the books and
papers be given to Mr. Owen, to be by him handed to the
proper person as soon as the elections are over : that
the fines recorded against the plaintiffs shall not interfere
with their eligibility for office : that the persons elected shall
be inaugurated by the acknowledged Committee; and as to
costs, I direct those to be divided between the parties, each
party paying his own costs. His Honor then called npon
all the members to unite heart and hand for the future in
advancing the interests of the society, which was an impor-
tant and a prosperous one, and electing those officers who
were best qualified to guard and serve it.

The delivery of the decision was ,received with loud ap-
plause among the members of the society, who filled the
Court.

The proceedings did not terminate until an advanced
period of the evening.

FRACAS AT THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION
IN WEST DERBY WARD.

Yesterday, Mr. Thomas Corkhill, cabinet-maker, Bruns-
wick-road, appeared at the police court, in answer to a
summons issued against him by Mr. John Jones, for au
assault on the Ist November.

Mr. PAYNE, solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and
Mr. BRETHERTON, solicitor, for the defendant.
Mr. JONES, the prosecutor, was called and said he was an
assessor at the Edge-hill booth last Tuesday week, and a few
minutes after four o'clock they prepared to get their voting
papers, and put themin the box; while doing that, a number
of persons, amongst whom was Mr Corkhill, broke in the
door and rushed in amongst them. The defendant objected
to the election and personations on Mr. Flint's side, and
commenced quarrelling with Mr. Morgan, when witness
stepped forward and said, " gentlemen, I cannot allow this
conduct here ;" he then received a blow in the eye from the
defendant that made it black for two or three days ; Mr.
Littledale then interposed, and the parties went away.

Mr. JONES was cross-examined at some length to -shew
that Mr. Corkhill was much provoked on the occasion, and
that so far from being the aggressor he was the aggrieved
pay.
_ _

Mr. LEONARD WATSON was next called and examined by
Mr. Payne : He said, I am a druggist, and was co-assessor
with Mr. Jones ; I was in the booth at four o'clock when it
closed ; I saw Mr. Corkhill come in about two minutes Mier
four o'clock, when the window was closed; Mr. Hume and
several gentlemen were with him ' • Mr. Corkhill was in a
very excited state, and objected to the election on account of
personation on Mr. Flint's side ; Mr. Morgan happened to
be standing close to the door at the time they entered, and
what conversation took place I do not know ; Mr. Morgan
was the objecting burgess with Mr. Youd ; they got to high
words ' • Mr. Morgan called Mr. Corkhill a scoundrel ; on
which defendant said if he would repeat it again he would
strike him ; Mr. Morgan did repeat it, and the defendant
then struck him. Mr. Jones then came forward, put up his
hand and said, "we cannot allow this gentlemen, " when
he too received a blow on the face; I saw his eye that
evening when he_was going down to the Town-hall.

Crosi-examined by Air. bretherton : This took place two
or three minutes after four o'clock, on the Ist of November.
Mr. TO7I PS'R PyP \VAC Inn+ .v.Mly 131.01., it raisb.4 bow latlo
darker than it is now; I only saw him once or twice since.
When Mr. Corkhill came in, he went to state his objections
to the alderman; there arose no disturbance; Mr. Morgan
said something ; Mr. Corkhill left the alderman and ad-
dressed Mr. Morgan, from some observation he made ; will
swear I do not know it ; Mr. Corkhill said if he would re-
peat the word " scoundrel" he would knock him down, I
didn't hear the word liar used ; I never heard Mr. Jones
say anything from the beginning to the end ; I didn't hear
either of the three use any offensive expressions to any one
when they came in ; the offensive expression Mr. Morgan
used was the first I had heard.

Another witness was called, who corroborated the evidence
of the former witnesses.

Mr. Thomas Littledale, the presiding Alderman, on the
occasion of the election, was next examined. He said, as
soon as Mr. Corkhill came into the room he addressed me.
He did not a;k Mr. Youd to state the case to me. It was
immediately after Mr. Corkhill asked me to receive the ob-
jectins that the word scoundrel was used. I only heard the
word used once; I heard Mr. Corkhill say that if Mr.
Morgan repeated the word scoundrel he would knock him
down ; he struck Mr. Morgan ; Mr. Jones ran up immedia-
tely after he struck Mr. Morgan ; Mr. Jones laid hands on
Mr. Corkhill before he struck him • I was prevented from
hearing it at first by the noise and disturbance; there were
some gentlemen came in with Mr. Corkhill ; I should say
there were three or four ; they made no noise ; the noise
proceeded from other gentlemen ; the other gentlemen in
the r oom were myself, the poll Clerk, the assessors and the
Check Clerks ; the only word I heard was scoundrel ; but
no doubt there were other expressions used ; I made the
remark generally, that it had been a most disgraceful scene ;
I did not address myself to Mr. Jones or Mr. Morgan in-
dividually, I addressed myself to all ; what Mr. Corkhill
came in for was perfectly his duty.

Mr. Bretherto-n then addressed the bench in behalf of the
defendant, and called.

Mr. HUME, who said, I am a surgeon residing in Moss-
street; I remember the day of election at Rose Hill; went to the
polling booth to objectto some votes as personations ; the poll
was closed at that time ; I went with Mr. Corkhill and Mr.
Youd, about five minutes after four ; the door was open ;
there was not the slightest disturbance at the door; we
walked up to the table ; we didn't effect our entrance in any
disorderly manner ; there was no disturbance at the door at
the time we went in ; Mr. Corkhill addressed himself to Mr.
Littledale ; he said he had called to objet to some votes ;
Morgan began to use some offensive expressions to Mr.
Corkhill ; the word scoundrel was repeated several times
over ; the disturbance was so much that the alderman could
not take the objection; I didn't hear Mr. Corkhill use any
offensive expressions to either Mr. Morgan or Mr. Jones ;
some one repeated the word scoundrel ; I believe it was Mr.
Morgan ; as Mr. Corkhill was making the blow at Mr. Mor-
gan I was pushed out, and therefore I didn't see the blow ;
when I returned all was quiet; Mr. Morgan and Mr. Cork-
hill shook hands ; but Mr. Jones would not shake hands.
Several more witnesses were called and examined, and
confirmed the evidence of the former witness. The last
witness that was called for the defendant positively swore
that he saw Mr. Jones strike Mr. Corkhill first, and that he
seized him by the collar.

The magistrates deferred giving their decision until
Saturday.

SINGULAR CASE OF ACCIDENTAL POISONING.—AII extra-
ordinary and somewhat novel case of poisoning occurred at
Bristol this week. It appears that some time since a Mr.
Joseph Russell, a wine merchant at Bristol, died, bequeath-
ing a legacy (among others) to a distant relation named
Joseph Russell, a bookseller at Chard, Somersetshire, who,
during the past week came to Bristol respecting it. Having
two brothers residing in Bristol, on Sunday he dined with
his brother William, a coachmaker, residing in Stokes Croft,
and partook of some roast beef, being then in excellent
health. Having remarked that roast beef was nothing
without horse-radish, his brother's wife said that there were
some horseradish roots in the garden, and the servant was
sent to dig up one. Upon its being scraped, dressed with
vinegar, and placed on the table, his brother and himself
took some of it, but remarked that it must be a very bad
horseradish, as it had not the usual flavour and piquancy.
Mrs. William Russell, disliking horseradish, did not partake
of it. Shortly after dinner Joseph Russell complained of a
very peculiar tingling sensation in his hands and arms,
which rapidly increased until he said he felt it creeping
round his neck, His brother said, " Oh, perhaps the dinner
has disagreed with you ; let us take a walk and von will be
better." They accordingly went out towards y Hillgrove-
street, where the third brother resided, and on the way the
brother William complained of a similar sensation, but in a
much slighter degree. The symptoms in Joseph rapidly
became more alarming, and on reaching his brother's house
he sank into a chair, exclaiming, " I know I am poisoned,
for I feel one side of me dead already." Brandy was given
to him, and medical aid instantly called in, but unavailing,
for he rapidly sank and died within an hour. The brother,
who had taken much less of the supposed horse-radish, was
also much affected, but is recovering. Upon examination it
was found that the root was the Aconitunt Napellus (wolf's-
bane or monks'hood), which strongly resembles horseradish,
and which, particularly at this season of the year, is a strong
narcotic poison.

An Imperial Russian Manifesto, bearing date

concludes with the following words Russia is
goaded on to war ; nothing remains for her but to
have recourse to arms, to compel the OttOman
Empire to respect treaties, to obtain reparation
for the insults with which the latter has replied to
our most moderate demands—to our legitimate so-
licitude for the maintainance of the orthodox faith
in the East."

A despatch sent from Vienna on Wednesday,
says : " Accounts from Bucharest report a battle
and 14 superior Russian officers killed. The Turks
remained masters of the field, and the Russians
were retreating on Bucharest."
One of the same date, states that the Turkish
Embassy in Vienna have received an account of a
conflict near Battoum on the 26th; in all 5,000
men were on the field. " After fighting, the bel-
ligerents retired to their respective former posi-
tions."

The same despatch mentions the very doubtful
report, "that M. de Kotzebue, Russian Consul-
General, accompanies Prince Gortechakofftu Giur-
gevo, to parley with the Turkish diplomatists ex-
pected there." -
Accounts from St. Petersburg of the 25th state
that Considerable reinforcements had been sent to
Bessarabia and Volhynia, where the 3rd and 4th
corps dant& are stationed. The army of the
Caucasus was also to be largely reinforced. A
Stockholm paper announces the arrival of a Rus-
sian squadron at Helsingfors, a seaport in Fin-
land

On Tuesday evening the Turkish embassy in
Paris received a telegraphic despatch from the
Turkish ambassador at Vienna, to the following
effect :—On the 3d inst. the Turks forced the
passage of the Danube, opposite to the Oltenitza.
After a prolonged cannonading, the Turkish gene-
ral, with a division of his army of 12,000 men, sue
ceeded in occupying the opposite bank: The
Turks charged the enemy at the point of the bayo
net, and drove back the Russians. They occupied
Oltenitza, where they fortified themselves hastily.
The despatch adds that the Russians have lost 400
men, among whom there are some officers.

Respecting this despatch the Chronicle corres-
pondent says—" I have received fresh information
from the seat of war, which confirms the news con-
tained in the despatch of the Turkish embassy."
The Patrie, in remarking on the despatch which it
publishes, alluded to in our paper yesterday, says,
" This fact has an important bearing; it indicates
admirable decision on the part of the Turks.
The first shock has been terrible on both sides.
It is positively stated that the plan of Omer Pacha,
in passing the Danube on several points at once,
was to divide the attention of the Russian army,
and afterwards to concentrate his forces on one
point. The fact of a double engagement in Asia
appears to be confirmed. It is said to have been
equally favourable to the Turks, but we are not in
possession of sufficient details."
Another despatch from Vienna gives additional
details of the position of the belligerent forces
previous to the battle. Large bodies of Turkish
troops were concentrated around Widdin. A bridge
and tete-de-pont had been constructed at Kalafat,
which served as the basis of the operations of the
Turkish army The Russian corps of Dannenbdrg
opposed to the Turks at this point numbered from
30,000, to 40,000 men, and was spread en echelon
between Krajoua and Slatina.

was a sacred and patriotic war, and it was-the duty
of the Montenegrins to take part in it.
The Constitutionnel states that " it has received
letters from Vienna of the Gth instant, which bring
accounts from Constantinople of the 27th October.
These -letters state that on the 27th a courier had
arrived at Constantinople, from Omer Paella's
head quarters at Schumla, with the news that hos-
tilities had commenced before the counter order of
the Porte had reached the general. The only thing
that had occurred was an engagement with the
Russian outposts, in which some men had been
killed and made prisoners on both sides. The
Ministers of the Porte themselves had no circum-
stantial details, but the following explanation is
given of the collision :—"A body of Cossacks, some
hundred men strong, had advanced on the bank of
the Danube, and appeared to threaten the Egyp-
tians encamped on the opposite bank. The latter
consequently seized upon some boats which were
within their reach, and rowed across the Danube
The Cossacks, who were waiting for them, were
not able to prevent them from disembarking, and
the engagement took place." Nothing was known
at Constantinople on the 27th of the affair of
Isatchka.

PROBABLE
_TERIIIINATIOIV OF THE

WIGAN STRIKES

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

WIGAN, THURSDAY NIGHT

There is at length some prospect of a termination of the
colliers' strike at Wigan. We believe that yesterday the
colliers employed by the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres,
seceded from the general body on strike; and this morning,
upwards of 500 colliers, and more than that number of
drawers, returned to work at his lordship's pits at the prices
upon which they came out. It is said that the rest of the
men employed at Haigh colliery will resume work to-morrow,
(Friday), and when they go in there will be upwards of
1500 men and boys again engaged at Haigh. Within the
last day or two, about fifty colliers and drawers have re-
commenced work at the cannel pits, and the Kirkless-hall
coal and cannel company (John Lancaster and Co.), Ince,
near Wigan ; and several of the men employed at the coal-
pits belonging to that firm have also made application to be
allowed to resume work ; but they were informed that they
could not, until there was a snfficieut number to make it
worth the while of the engines being started. Yesterday,
Mr.• James Darlington, manager of the Ince Hall coal
and cannel works, was waited upon by a few of the
men employed by that firm, and professed their desire
to re-commence work at the old prices. They were
consequently allowed to go down the pits. We may add
that there are symptoms of the whole of the colliers still
on strike, returning to work in a few days. It is not pos-
itively known whether the fortnightly meeting of coal
proprietors and their representatives will be held to-morrow,
at the Royal Hotel, according to adjournment, owing to
the fearful outbreak which ensued upon the termination of
the last meeting.
At a meeting of ministers and tradesmen, held by adjourn-
ment, at Grant's Hotel, Wigan, yesterday mormng, a
Committee presented an address to the factory operatives,
which they had drawn up at the request of a previous
meeting. The address, which was to the effect that, the
Committee had waited upon the masters, and that they were
determined not to give the advance ; and telling the oper-
atives that, to prolong the struggle, would be useless, was
ordered to be printed, and extensively circulated throughout
the town.

All the mills still remain closed, with one exception, that
of Mr. James Gidlow Ince. On Monday, the hands ex-
pressed their desire to return to work at the prices paid
previous to the strike, and the mill was got ready for them
as soon as possible, but it was not until this morning that
they could all enter upon their employment.

The Duchess d'Alba, sister of the Empress of the French,
has bean delivered of a daughter, to whom her godfather and
uncle, the Emperor, has given the name of Louise.
SHORT TIME.-At Ashton Stalybridge, and Hyde, a pro-
position has been brought before the Masters, Union for
reducing the hours of labour in their mills to four days per
week, in consequence of the heavy stocks of some classes of
goods produced there, and the present depressed state of the
market. The question will be taken into consideration
forthwith.

Dr. Portz, the head librarian of the Royal Library at
Berlin, has returned from his tour in England, undertaken
for the purpose of examining if the principal libraries con-
tained any materials that might assist him in the further
prosecution of his great work, Monumenta Germania His-
torica. The most valuable result of Dr. Pertz, inquiries in
England consists, we understand, in his having obtained a
transcript of the Chronicon Placentinum, which is of great
importance for the times of the Emperors Frederick I and
11., and the original of which is in the British Museum.

" Resolved-Z-Every day's experience in the public
or this country confirms that wisdom and deepens those.
convictions in which the Great Tenant League Conference
of 1851 originated—the policy of creating and sustaining
in the House of Commons an independent opposition Irish
party. We therefore urge upon the various constituencies
of Ireland to hold fast by that policy, as supplying the only
sure means of morally and physically regenerating the coun-
try. Acted upon in every county and borough where the
potency of popular power can be exercised in useful and
commanding influence, it furnishes a firm guarantee against
the vassalage of the nglish Minister, and the venality of
the British Treasury."

THE CHOLERA IN DIIBLIN.—The Freeman of to-day
has the following :—" The following will be found
to be an accurate statement of the facts connected
with the appearance of cholera in our city. It ap-

pears the adults who fell victims to the disease
were out of employment, and, probably, the cir-
cumstances of their non-employment, being "on
strike," had a no less disposing influence on their
minds than the consequent privations on their
bodies: Added to this was the drinking whiskey
of a deleterious character, and the loss of rest.
We subjoin the note of the cases which has reached
us In Grangegorman-lane, a child died of
cholera on Friday, the 4th instant. There was a
wake on Saturday night, at which cheap whiskey
was circulated. This was followed on Sunday by
another case of cholera, an adult member Of the
same family having been then attacked, and this
terminated in death after ten hours. Other mem-
bers of the family were attacked successively, and
of six cases in all, five have terminated fatally.
The adult persons drinking were out of employment
on strike."

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENTS AT THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.—
On Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock, a frightful accident
happened to a man named John Bright, and his child, a
little girl, at the New Coal Exchange, opposite Billingsgate
market. After the Lord Mayor's show had gone through the
ward and embarked on board the city barges from the
market, numbers of the public were allowed to go over the
Exchange, and inspect the paintings which adorn the
galleries. The unfortunate man and his child were among
the many who were admitted, and upon reaching the upper-
most gallery he got outside upon the glazed roof, nearest to
St. Mary-at-Hill. Curiosity then prompted him, it is
thought, to attempt to reach the balustrade at the side of the
building, for the purpose of viewing the bustle and excite-
ment in the street below. Leadinc, his child, he was in the
act of walking over a long slab of glass, more than half an
inch thick, when it broke away from under him ; he dropped
through, dragging his little girl after him, and fell with a
fearful crash upon the ornamental pavement beneath, a depth
of more than 70 feet. The Exchange being full of visitors at
the time the greatest alarm arose, and a rush was made for
the doors, a belief being entertained at the moment that the
whole splendid glass dome in the building was falling. Con-
sidering the terror that prevailed, it was providential no
further catastrophe took place. The child was found to have
escaped death,.although her thigh was fractured and she
was otherwise much bruised about the body. The man,
however, was most frightfully mutilated, his skull was

shattered,

chance of her recovering. Another accident occurred during
the day, which it is feared will be attended with deplorable
consequences. While the procession was passing the open
space between the Mansion-house, and the Globe Insurance
office, a stand which was erected by some costermonger,
broke down, while crowded with people, and one of them, a
gentlemanly-dressed man, sustained a double compound frac-
ture of the leg, besides other injuries. He was removed to
St. Thomas's Hospital, where he lies in a sad way,
