equity, or seek •to take away partially from the
court of law the consideration of this CO
tract, or interfere to compel the specific performance
of a part the contract, while it confessed itself Pa:
equal to compel the rest, and thus leave the agreeniant
in a mutilated state, still to be the subject of contenuap
in a court of law. The Learned Counsel
then reverted to the non-payment of the caution;
money. The latest time fixed for the Woe%
of 3001. was the 22d of April, but Mr. Lumley's le
ease was, that it was not actually tendered before the
2d of April. Oa this areas the question, whether the
contract was to be considered valid under the Pros' m
sian or the English law. Here, it must °-
remarked, that there was a part of the o°,ll'
tract which was to be performed in Prussia...
the lox loci contractus came in force here both as to t
making and the performance of the contract, and in,:
tJe
thought it was perfectly evident that this part of t..,
s: 4
contract would have to be judged of by the Prussian'
and on that point they had proofs that according to ``o
Prussian law the money ought to have been paid firstflof
order to give Mr. Lumley a claim to the performance
the rest or the contract.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Do you not thiDkf 0,
Bethell, that the lady, waiving the time for the lot
mencement of her engagement, also waived the time
the payment of the money? After Mr. Lumleyr
waived the time of the commencement of the engat,
merit, was Miss Wagner in a condition to fix the a'ou'i
definitely on which the money was to, be paid
arrangement?
OOP
Mr. BETHELL said he thought she was—at on--J_v
_A by
wh:-ther she had or not, Mr. Lumley had ficquiescv"
his letter in this arrangement. lbe
The LORD CHANCELLOR—MCS it appear
theta'
Wagnors complained of, the non-payment of the In
at the time stipulated?
Mr. PETHELL—I do not know that it does, mY ri°l4:4o
The LORD CHANCELLOR—In the answer of "e
to Mr. Lumley's letter granting the request for the V-41
ponement of the time for opening the engagemeatls
a word is said about the money; and don't you t 74.1
It was incumbent on the Wagners, who had just reeesr
a favour from Mr. Lumley, to acquaint him of the
gt ectot his agent to pay the money?
Mr. BETEELL said he did not think there arftlifilt
obligation of his clients, either moral or equitah'"

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH. FRIDAY.—His Highness Said Paella
has visited the Victory, Neptune, Excellent, Blenheim,
the Clarence-yard, dockyard, and other objects of in-
terest at this port, daring the week; and this afternoon
his Highness and suite (ten in number) left the Portland
Hotel, Southsea (where he has been sojourning since
Sunday last), for the South Coast Railway, by which he
proceeded to Dover en route to Paris, Vienna, and Con-
stantinople.
The Pacha's screw steam-yacht Cassidcaidee hauled
alongside of the Menai hulk last evening, to turn the crew
into her, while the yacht undergoes a thorough overhaul
and refit in the engine department and hull by the em-
ployes of this dockyard.
An awful accident occurred in this dockyard this
morning to a man named George Griggs, a labourer it
the steam factory. Tho deceased was employed in the
boiler making department, and was at work in the
punching-shop. While in the act of putting on a strap
to a pulley for driving a machine, it is supposed his
clothes were caught in the gearing, as the strap was re-
volving round the drum at the rate of 93 revolutions per
minute, and his body drawn round with it. About a
minute elapsed before the engine could be stopped, when
the mangled remains of the unfortunate man were disco-
vered scattered about in all directions, presenting an ap-
palling and sickening sight.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

PETERBOROUGH.
ELECTION OF MR. WHALLEY.

The contest here has ended in the return of Mr.
Whalley, by a majority of 15, the numbers at the close
of the poll on Saturday being, according to the statement
of that gentleman's committee, as follows :
Whalley ... ... 233 I Lewis ... ... 218

The calculation made by Mr. Lewis' committee is
somewhat different, being—

Whalley ... ... 212 I Lewis ... ... 197
Although the numbers vary, however, the majority for
Mr. Whalley is decided.

The contest has been the most severe on record,
and very great zeal and activity were displayed
on both sides. Mr. Whalley was in a majority from
the first hour of the polling, but although he maintained
his ascendency on the poll, his majority diminished,
it being 22 at 9 o'clock, and only 10 at 2 o'clock.
Whether upon true or false grounds, the election is gene-
rally considered as having rendered the city independent
of the influence of the Milton family. This has been the
point upon which all the opposition turned. Mr. Whal-
ley professes liberal principles as well as Mr. Lewis, so
that, politically speaking, there was no difference be-
tween the two candidates ; but the rallying cry has been
for the independence of the city, and thus Mr. Lewis has
been described as the "lord's man," and Mr. Whalley as
the friend of independence. The electors at the nomina-
tiox cried out that they would have a man of their own
choosing this time, and every effort was made by Mr.
Whalley 's party to convince the electors that it was
a struggle to emancipate themselves from Milton
domination. Some people have wondered why the
electors of Peterborough, after quietly submitting to
the Fitzwilliam influence for a century and a half,
should suddenly determine that it should prevail no
longer.• This, however, is a point which it would be
difficult to settle ; but, as a matter of fact, this was the
pivot upon which the opposition to Mr. Lewis turned,
and it is undoubtedly true that the opposition was not
to Mr. Lewis personally, but because he was presumed
to be the nominee of the earl. It should be stated that
the friends of Mr. Lewis deny the impeachment. How-
ever, although the circumstance is somewhat strange,
Mr. Whalley, a professed Liberal, owes his election to
the Conservatives, who opposed Mr. Lewis, with a view
to destroy the Milton influence. The election was con-
ducted in a very creditable manner. There was a good
deal of excitement on Saturday at the close of the poll,
and there had been fears of some violence being
attempted ; but after a little .marching, band playing,
and shouting for " the blues," the city became almost
as silent and tranquil as ever. The official declaration
of the poll was fixed for this day (Monday).
London, England, 1852-12-06

GERMANY.

The report that Prince Pucklcr-Mrskau had be-
come a convert to the Catholic Church has pro-
duced the following letter to theAllgemeineZeitung,
from the illustrious tourist :
"In the early part of the present year I read in a
newspaper, and was really affected by the news, that
Prince Puckler-Muskau had expired at his château
Branitz. To-day, on the contrary, I learn from
two journals that the Prince has gone over to the
Catholic Church—a fact, however, that other papers
are disposed to doubt. To prevent errors, I hereby offi-
cially inform my numerous relations, friends, and
acquaintances, that in reality circumstances have not yet
allowed me, Prince Puckler-Muskau, either to die or to
become Catholic ; I by no means deny that both eventu-
alities, according to the estimate of different human opi-
nions, may have their advantageous sides ; only, as it
appears to me, they must necessarily occur in the re-
versed order. "HERRMANN PUMMEL"

INCOME TAX.

Mr. RICH wished to know whether the reduction in
the income tax for clergymen wsuld extend to pluralists
and bishops.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
what he intended to say was, that clergymen must con-
tinue to be assessed under schedule A and at seven pence
in the pound, though he admitted at the same time that
in she case of a clergyman in the receipt of only 1001. a
year the law would be exceedingly unjust, and in his
ease an exemption would be made, similar to that pro-
vided by thn existing law in favour of dissenting minis-
ters.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES.
In reply to a question from Mr. MorrsELL,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated
that it was his intention shortly to bring in a bill for
regulating the payment of consolidated annuities in
Ireland.
