men of rank and station aye, and what is
far more important, of kindly and charitable dis-
posdtionc—have been condemned to death, by
secret tribunals, and infamous assassins appointed to
cetry the bloodthirsty sentences into execution. If
the murder of the late lamented Mr. BATESON—or
any one of a doz2n others to which we could easily
refer—stood alone, it would be amply sufficient to
justify, nay more, to render imperative the renewal
of the Act.

But thereis another reason why its renewal for a
limited period is essential. Nothing can be more
impolitic than in any case to let it appear as if the
law could be defeated. Enactments such as those
above referred to should be suffered to wear them-
selves out; there should be no persons awaiting
their trials at the time of the law expiring.
Now there are, unfortunately, many persons
now in custody for various offences under the Act,
and the effect of its operation not being extended
would be that they should be discharged with im-
punity. Its expiring would, in fact, as asserted by the
Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman the
Attorney-Gaieral for Ireland, act as a general gaol
delivery. Nothing could be more objectionable than
such a result, or more injurious to the peace and tran-
quillity of the country than the simultaneous discharge
of so many bad characters.

Although the Act did not prove effectual, we have
bad the testimony of unimpeachable witnesses as to
the advantages obtained from its operation. Sir
MATTHEW BARRINGTON, a gentleman of vast exp.:
rience,who had for many years acted as Crown solicitor
on the Munster circuit, declares that " a single convic-
tion under the Act bad been the means of quieting
the county of Limerick, and the knowledge of its
being in force had prevented many outrages," and
yet we are called on to give up ttylt protection
and' safeguard to the well disposed portion of
the community, because it is not accompanied
by remedial measures, although it is well known
that measures purporting to be remedial—on which
we cannot pronounce until their details are before us
—have been actually prepared, and that they have
only been postponed in consequence of the peculiar
position of the Government, which has, with the fall
assent, indeed we may say at the express desire of
the House of Commons, prevented the consideration
of many measures of vast importance until after the
forthcoming appeal to the country has been fully re-
sponded to.

ELECTORAL FACTS.
From 1832 to 1852. •
Br CHARLES R. DOD.
At this moment the little volume now lying before
us is absolutely invaluable. By candidates, no less
then constituents, it will be found eminently usetul—
recounting 23 it does with tabular lucidity, as well as
with tabular compactness, the most impertant cir-
cumstances attendant upon the contested el%ctione of
the last twenty years. From 1832 to 1852—one of
the most momentous of oil the political epochs of the
country, and one of the most memorable of ell the
periods recorded in the history of civilization—no less
than five general elections haveelreedy eccutred. A
sixth must now be very speedily added to the list,
and one which must render 1852 not less noticeable in
the annals of Parliament, than 1847, or 1841, or 1837,
or 1835, or 1832—those intei vats of profound popu-
lar agitation. Never was the result of a general
election made the theme of more numerous
or more contradictory predictions. According to
some among the more infatuated Protectionists, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer may count upon having
a clear majority of some forty or fifty, instead of
having—what is expected by the more sanguine Free-
traders—a yet more marvellously diminished mi-
nority. Meanwhile the Prune Minister himself—the
chivalrous and (except when goaded into explanation)
taciturn Earl of Derby—avows his conviction that
no working majority can be expected for his side in
the House of Commons, of sufficient unanimity and
esprit de corps to enable him to revive the golden
dream of the agriculturists. Precisely at this junc-
ture has the volume, recounting the electoral facts of
nearly the whole of the quarter of a century last past,
been published. Nothing could by possibility be
more happily timed. Besides which the gentleman
who has undertaken the onerous and (all things
considered) the really responsible task of com-
pilation, has long secured to himself, and long en-
joyed, a very high reputation for general accuracy.
Insomuch that within the walls ot the very Parlia-
ment itself Dod is repeatedly quoted as an authority
no less conclusive in regard to the elections than
_Hansard is allowed to be in reference to the debates.
In completeness, in detail, in arrangement, and in its
scrupulously cautious revision, the present issue sur-
pasaes even the best (meaning the latest) of its pre-
decessors. As a kind of preliminary chapter to the
information forming the bulk of the work, we find
due mention of the elections of Speakers, and the
duration of the Parliaments which have assembled
since the first comprehensive reform of the Legisla-
ture. Manners Sutton in 1833, and James
Abercromby in 1835, 53 also in 1837, had
the privilege of presiding over the House
of Commons as Mr. Speaker -- the latter
being thus memorable as Speaker to the last Parlia-
ment of William IV. and to the first Parliament of
Victoria. Since 1839 Charles Shaw Lefevre has
occupied the lofty position constituting him the first
gentleman in England—having succeeded Aber-
cromby on his resignation, thereupon obtaining 317
in opposition to 299 votes accorded to Henry Gout-
burn,—his subsequent elections to the Speaker's
chair in the two following Parliaments of 1841 and
1847 having been carried, as must be remembered,
without the slightest attempt at opposition. It re-
mains to be seen whether the caprice of fortune will
prevent the return to the head of a fourth Parliament, of
a man of whom poor Feargus O'Connor said, without
much extravagance, the other evening, that he was
the best Sp raker that ever sat in the chair of the
House of Commons. After his record of the election
of Speakers and the duration of Parliaments, Mr. Dcd
still prefaces the volume with another preliminary
group of statistics—relating this time to the Reform
Act Averages. From this table of figures an extra-
ordinary scrice of deduction!) are derivable—deduc-
tions such ae, we feel assured, cannot but influence
the Reformers of the United Kingdom so far as to
inspire them with an additional desire to secure. a
wider extension of the franchise. When, for example,
it is remembered that in England merely one person
in every 24, in Wales one in every 23, in Scotland
one in every 45, and in Ireland one in every 115 are
alone entitled to vote as county electors, it must
surely be manifest that something is seriously re-
quired in the way of Parliamentary improve-
ment. - When, moreover, it is considered, as to
borough electors, there are only one in every
18 in the entire population of the country, still further
reason is surely given for an extension of the fran-
chise throughout the multitude. According to a
curious calculation of Mr. Dod's, each Member may be
considered as representing 27,794 persons in England,
27,799 in Wales, 44,624 in Scotland, 73,975 in
Ireland, 29,407 in Great Britain, and, in the aggres
gate -36,519 in the United Kingdom. This is, of
course, upon the understanding that the numbers are
compared with the population. Compared with the
electors, we find that the Membets yield ore to every
1,314 electors in Etigland, and 30 no will) 1,280 in
Waits, with 1,215 in ticotlairJ, with 887 in Ireland,
with 1,313 in Great Britain, and with 1,235 in the
United ICingdom. Among the many advantages
crowded into this voluine of 374 pages, must
also be especially noticed the copious in-
dex et the conclusion, giving, in ;la alpba-
beYieiil form, the names not only of all Mem-
bers and candidates from 1832 to 1852, but those
alto of honed Members antecedently. Desides all
which the Electoral Filets here given comprise the
local position of the city, borough, or county, the
nature of the constituency,
the prevailing influence,
the number of registered electors, the annual value ot
real property paying income-tax, the amount of as-
sessed taxes, the population, the prevailing trades, the
noted elections, the newspaper politics and sale, to-
gether with the polls for the last twenty years at
every place returning a Member to Parliament—
surely an abundant store of useful and practical in-
formation ! As a Parliamentary repertory, Dod's
"Electoral Facts" must be commended as altogether
without a competitor.

THE BRITISH ELECRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY'S
BILL.-It will be seen from another part of our paper, that
the third reading of the British Electric Telegraph Com-
pany's Bill stands for to-morrow. That the Bill will be read
a third time by a large majority, however great may ba the
efforts to defeat it, is a point on which there can be no-doubt,
considering the importance and necessity of the measure.
Tut KOH-I-NOOR.-Sir David Brewster has dis-
covered and placed it beyond doubt that the di',mond in the
Queen's possession, and which -last summer Egured so prr-
tninently in the Great Exhibition, is not the genuine Koh •i-
-noor that belonged to the Great Mogul. It is a very fine
diamond, however, and is the one which Shah Soojah sur-
rendered to Runjeet Singh as the real " Mountain of Light."

HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at I 'verpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 2,000 to 4,000 bales, all to the trade
The market was tome, with a tendency in favour of
buyers. The sales included 150 Pernam and Maran-
ham at 6d. to 74d., 250 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 300
Surat at 3d. to 44(1. per lb.—Railway Shares were active
at higher prices.
The Produce Markets generally are very well sup-
ported, and there is a large business doing. Sugar is in
somewhat fuller supply.

The AmsterdanigtOck Market on the 14th inst. was
not quite so buoyant for Dutch Securities, owing to
the realization of profits. Tho Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. closed at 62 13-16ths. Spanish and Portuguese
Bonds were without variation, Grenada rather in fa-
vour, and Venezuela more offered.

The extraordinary abundance of cash is perplexing
the wisest heads in the mercantile and banking world,
and each one asks his neighbour what the result will
be of all the gold importation from Australia. The
Blackwell, one of the two ships that has 300,0001. on
board, has arrived, and the General Hewitt will no doubt
speedily follow. The joint-stock banks are disinclined
in many instances to allow any interest, and the discount
brokers have too much money at command.
The movement for establishing tribunals of commerce
seems in a fair way of progressing now without let or
hindrance from personal difficulties. The members who
seceded from the executive committee have resigned,
and Mr. Francis Lyne, the honorary secretary, has
arranged for an accession of strength.
At the meeting of the proprietors of the South Aus-
tralian Company the re port was adopted. This states

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat in to-day's market
was very limited, and in but middling condition. Al-
though the attendance of buyers was by no means ex-
tensive, the demand ruled steady, at fully Monday's
pricer. For forward delivery exceedingly little was
doing. The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted
to 3,710 quarters. Really good qualities sold steadily,
at full currencies, but low and middling parcels com-
manded very little attention. Several floating cargoes
of Wheat and Indian Corn changed hands. Distilling
Barley was quite as dear, but malting and grinding sorts
met a dull inquiry. Malt, the supply of which ready
for delivery wai on the increase, moved eff slo/.ly, at
barely lateopurrencies. The show of Oat samples was
good. A fair average business was transacted at the
late decline. Beans and Peas commanded full quotations,
but the inquiry for Flour was somewhat inactive.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Beforo Mr. Secondary POTTER )
A PLEA OF INFANCY.—CLEMENTS V. WYNNE.

This was an actun to recover the snm of lot, on a
promissory cote.

Defendant pleaded that at the time he made the note
ho was en infant under the age of 21.
Defendant's fa►ther was called and proved that de-
fendant was born on the 22d of April, 1830.
Mr. TAPPING, for the plaintiff; submitted that the de-
fendant had not made out his plea, for he had not shown
when the note was made, for it might not have been
made for a month after it bore the date, or defendant
might have kept it in his pocket until alter ho was of
age; it was payable on demand.
Mr. CROSS, for the defendant, in reply, contended
that it was sufficient that the date of the note was set out
in the declaration.

The Learned SECONDARY thought that there was a
differenca between a promissory note and a bill of ex-
change as to a defendant being obliged to prove the
date it was made; and he would leave the case to
the jury.

Tile fury, after a abort consultation, gava a verdict
for defendant.
The Learned SECONDARY took a note of thm objcc.
tions, and en application to move the Court above, that
the verdict was contrary to evidence.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.;
OLD (Before Mr. Baron AL COI?T.
DERSONUaria Mr. Justice COLE

RIDGE.)
Henry Baker, a surgeon, was indicted for a mis-
demeanour, tor keeping an unlicensed lunatic asylum.
Toe prosecution was instituted at the instance of the
Commissioners of Lanacy. The defendant pleaded not
guilty.

M. Clatkson appeared for the prosecution, anti Mr.
Ballantine conducted the defence.
Mr. CLARKSON opened the case for the prosecution,
and detailed the facts to the jury, which have so very re-
cently been before the public that it is not necessary to
repeat them. At the close of his opening,
Mr. BALLANTINE said it appeared to him that the
object of the Commissioners was to close the house
which had been kept by the defendant, Now, the de-
fendant had committed this offence in ignorance of the
law, and ho was quite ready to find substantial bail that
the offence should not he repeated.
Mr. CLARESON said the only desire the Commissioners
had in entering upon the prosecution was to vindicate
the majesty of the law. He understood that this watt the
fourth prosecutioe which the Commission had instituted
of this nature, and be was happy to know that in each
of these cases ine course suggested by his Learned
Friend was adopted.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said it was of great public im-
portance that none but licensed lunatic asylums should
be allowed to exist, particularly when the asylum was a
private one. There were those who thought that the
law ought to prohibit all private lunatic asylums, whe-
thee licensed or not, and he confessed he was very much
of that opinion, as very great temptations were placed in
the way of the keepers, while in case3'where privacy was
desirable a remedy could be found by establishing pri-
vate wards in our public asylums.
Mr. BALLANTINE repeated that no one more regretted
what had happened than his client, but ho was in a po-
sition to inform the Court that the only imputation was
simply that of neglecting to take out a licence. In
other respects there was nothing against him, for it was
admitted on all hands that he had displayed great hu-
manity towards his unfortunate patients, who could not
be considered as absolutely insane, and their friends
were quite satisfied with his treatment.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON asked who had the power of
granting the licence? _

Mr. CLARKSON replied, the Commissioners.
Mr. Baron ALDErtsori—Well, is the prosecution satis-
fied with the dekndant's proposal?
Mr. CLARKSON replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in that case, directed the de-
fendant to find bail to come up when called upon for

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.--By the Africa we learn
that the total receipts of cotton at the American ports
were 2,860,450 against 2,189,017 last year, and for the
week 40,219 against 19,675. We are also informed that
a giving way of ie. to sc. per lb. had occurred in the
New York market, whilst in the south, however, prices
remained unaltered. Hardly ever have the prospects of
the growing crop been more propitious, or the complaints
fewer as to its condition; and it would seem that this
fact is beginning to exercise some influence upon the mar
ket. The sales in Liverpool yesterday were only 3,000
to 4,000 bales, and in the lower qualities prices were
slightly in favour of the buyer; although, very discredit.
ably, the telegraph announced them, at noon, at 6,000
bales, without any change in prices. To-clay, oven the
telegraph report limits the business to 2,000 to 3,000
bales, and admits a decline of These accounts have
produced a very marked tffset upon our yarn market,
which is very sensitive to any change in the raw mate-
rial. The cautious feeling has been revived in the minds
of buyers, disinclining them to repeat offers which they
last week made withoutsuccess; whilst sellers have become
more willing to listen to terms which they then declined.
To say the least, the former have a better choice; and,
in many kinds, need not pay what they would have had
to give a week ago, by id. per lb., for although some of
the spinners hold to. their previous quotations, others
are more pliable. The exceptions to this statement aro
60's and upwards for Russia, which are rendered dearer
by the rise of same demand, and also certain descrip-
tions of favourite warps. Goods, which were relatively
cheaper than yarns, are less affected than they; but the
general bias is rather against the producers. In cloth the
market has been inanimate, and the business compara-
tively small; in yarns, extremely dull, and the transac-
tions altogether inconsiderable. The India accounts,
extracts from which are given below, have contributed
in some degree to render the market quiet.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.--The demand for flannels con-
tinuos goad, and those manufacturers who were willing
to take former prices had no difficulty in selling their
goods. On account of the rise in price of the raw ma-
terial some of the manufacturers held out for better
prices, which the merchants very reluctantly submitted
to. There has been a better demand for wool, and
prices are very firm.
MACCLESFIELD, THESDAY,—The market for silk ma-
nufactured goods has not undergone any alteration for
the better since our last report. Manufacturers com-
plain of the want of business, and of the prices
tendered for goods not being commensurate with
the present high price and upward tendency of the
raw sad thrown materials, consequently a consider-
able number of hand-loom weavers are unemploy,
in this towe. Some manufacturers have put their
soft Olt winding departments on short time. In
the thrown silk market there is apparently rather
more doing le fine descriptions, and middling
Bengals and Chinas; but manufacturers appear tardy
in making purchases, except on the hand to mouth
system. The raw silk market may be quoted in much
the same state as noticed in our last, acing characte-
rised by considerable firmness. The overland letters
from Shanghae report the market higher for China
silks.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been rather more
business done in our piece-hall today than for some
weeks past, but chiefly in lastings of low quality, there
being but little inquiry for any other description of
goods. The spinners are obtaining a slight advance on
some sorts of yarn, but the quantity changing handst ise
very limited. There is more doing in wool, apart
