witnesses were subsequently examined to identify the
writing as that of the prisoner. As already observed,
the examination extended over seven hours, and in-
volved inquiries into 20 or 30 bills, on various par-
ties, amounting to from 4001. to 5001. At the close
of the examination the prisoner was committed to
York to take his trial at the assizes, and bail was re-
fused. Since his apprehension the prisoner has made
an assignment, and his liabilities are stated to be
about 6,0001.

TESTEVOMAL TO DR. fEREIII7E.
On the occasion of Dr. Jeremie, the Regius Pro-
fessor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, re-
signing the position of Dean and Professor at the East
India College, Haileybury, a handsome testimonial of
respect and esteem was subscribed for and presented to
him by the students at that time resident in the college.
More recently a number of gentlemen, who for-
merly enjoyed the advantage of the instruction and
friendship of Dr. Jeremie, but who are at the present
time holding different offices in the civil service of
the Honourable Company in the three Presidencies
in India, have determined on presenting him with a
similar testimonial of their affection and regard. The
sum of 4501. was collected in India for this purpose,
and the selection of the piece of plate for the testimo-
nial was entrusted to Mr. Monier Williams, one of the
professors in the College of Haileybury, and the exe-
cution of it committed to the care of Messrs. Hunt
and Roskell, at whose establighment it may be at the
present time inspected. It is a handsome piece of
plate, consisting of a pedestal or column, supported
from the base by three figures, intended to represent
Religion, Philosophy, and Literature, and surmounted
by an elaborate and graceful representation of a Hindoo
female, as a typical figure of India. There are also
branches capable of being added to the column when
it is required as a candelabrum. The value is esti-
mated at 3501., and the remaining portion of the sum
subscribed it is intended to expend in books, which
are also to be presented to Dr. Jeremie. The pre-
sentation was entrusted to Mr. Williams, on the part
of the Indian subscribers, who have transmitted an
address from India for the purpose of being presented
with the testimonial, signed by about 150 gentle-
men in the three presidencies of Bengal, Madras, and
Bombay.

LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1852.

It is gratifying to know that already nearly
enough money has been subscribed to build over the
hitherto neglected grave of poor dear THOMAS
HOOD an appropriate monument, by way of testi-
monial. Yes—in the iron days of railroads, in
this " age of bronze," as the nineteenth century
has been called, the great heart of the poet—
throbbing still for ever and for ever in his metre,
though it has long ago crumbled away to
dust under the sods of Renal-green Ceme-
tery—has yet found a generous and ardent band
of sympathisers. "Alas, poor Yonicx !" We stand
by the ground that contains his mouldering
coffin, and we call to mind, not without a pang at
the remembrance of so many troubles in life and
of so much abandonment after death, the eccen-
tric and Protean wiles of the most quaint and
yet the most genial of humorists. Those who have
contributed to swell the already somewhat consider-
able fund now popularly known as the HOOD Testi-
h, have manifestly felt something of this in
transmission of their little tributes of gold and
silver to the treasurer. But most of all, they must
have cherished in recollection the sweetness of that
music which
vibrations of its

quisitepathos. their soul's inner-

Yesterday a meeting was convened at th.©
Whittington Club, for the purpose of arranging
matters definitively, for the winding-up
of the aff"
of the Testimonial. After a third Trustee had
been unanimously elected to co-operate with the
Secretary and the Treasurer in carrying out the
general arrangements of the enterprise, it was
deqided that the Fund should be fixed t'a
close on the first •of the ensuing month of

BURY ST. EDMUNDS ELECTION.
The nomination for candidates for the vacancy in this
borough, caused by the appointment of Mr. Stuart to a
vice-chancellorship, took place yesterday morning ; and
although on many former occasions complaints had been
made of the disorderly conduct of the people when called
upon to exercise the elective franchise, it was universally
admitted that yesterday's proceedings were the most
tumultuous and disorderly ever witnessed in the town.
The two candidates were Mr. H. P. Oakes (Conservative),
the son of a banker carrying on business in Bury, and
Mr. J. A. Hardcastle (Liberal), who represented Col-
chester in the last Parliament. The friends of both
candidates paraded the town from an early hour in the
morning, with banners of all sorts and sizes, the
designs on many of them being of a personal rather
than of a political character. This circumstance caused
much exasperation, and it not unfrequently happened
that the two parties came into collision while
pursuing the route marked out for them. But it was
not until the candidates made their appearance on the
hustings that the bitter feelings which had been engen-
dered broke out to any very serious extent. As soon as
it was known that the Mayor was on his way to the
hustings, a body of horsemen wearing Mr. Oakes' colours,
and consisting of country squires, magistrates, and gen-
tlemen farmers, rode into the vast mass of persons who
had congregated, and took up their position in the mid-
dle of the crowd. This circumstance called forth loud
rebukes from various quarters, and some of Mr. Hard-
castle's men eii.deavoured by means of their flags, which
were of enormous size, to drive back the intruders. This
was resisted ; the horsemen formed themselves into a
line, and at a given signal from one of the party, rapidly
advanced, and rode down flags, men, and everything that
cam- in. their The pa 11..., by a large iluiii-
ber of special constables whom the mayor had judici-
ously sworn in, conveyed some of the ringleaders to the
lock-up, where they were confined during the remainder
of the day. This was not, however, sufficient to ensure
order, for during the whole of the subsequent proceed-
ings the disturbances continued.
Mr. Beaven proposed, and Dr. Drake seconded the
nomination of Mr. Oakes, while Mr. H. Le Grice pro-
posed, and Mr. Collins seconded the nomination of Mr.
Hardcastle, the show of hands was declared to be in
favour of Mr. Oakes, but a poll was demanded and fixed
for to-day,

THE DERBY ELECTION COMMITTEE. - Yesterday this
committee, consisting of Mr. Goulburn', Sir W. Molesworth,
Lord Barrington, Lord IL Vane, and Mr. Deedes, met at
three o'clock for the first time in committee room No. 12
of the House of Commons to try the merits of this peti-
tion. Mr. Goulburn having been chosen chairman, Mr.
Creed, the commitee clerk, called for the attendance f the
" parties." Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Q.C. and Mr. Edwin
James, Q.C., with Mr. Coppock, the parliamentary agent,
appeared for the Liberal party, but neither counsel nor
agent appeared for the parties petitioned against. The
chairman (turning to the reporters' table) inquired whom
they represented ? Mr. E. James :—They represent the
public press. The Committee : Oh, we don't—and in-
leiTing from this in one sense significant, but in another
insignificant, notification that the representatives of the
press were not wanted, they withdrew, but were politely
informed in about a minute afterwards, by the learned
counsel, that the committee would meet again on Monday
at twelve, and every subsequent day at eleven, by which
time they will have had an opportunity of thinking over
the matter of the admission of the publieZprers.

The poll opened at eight o'clock yesterday morning,
and from that time until its close, great disorder and
rioting prevailed among the unruly mob which had as-
sembled around the polling-booth. Police-officera and
special constables were on the spot to protect the electors
proceeding to record their votes ; but the force was
scarcely sufficient to render effectual aid about the
middle of the day, when a large mass had congregated
so close, to the booth as t.4:L.preclude any voter getting
near the poll-erett:Sr-he was knoivn to be a sup-
porter of Lord Norreys, the popular candidate. The
collisions and affrays among the people were frequent
and severe ; and many a fellow was carried away
thoroughly exhausted with the drubbing he had received
from his antagonist, Precisely at four o'clock the poll
closed, and Lord Norreys' committee a few minutes
afterwards published the numbers as follow :—Lord
Norreys, 153 ; Mr. Burr, 129—majority for Lord Nor-
reys, 24. The town was in a state of great excitement,
and the tradesmen in the streets contiguous to the
polling-booth closed their shops, the uproar and con-
fusion reaching a height never before known on such
occasions.

The Chambers were opened on the 29th by Royal
Commission. After attending the performance of
divine service in the cathedral, the deputies of both
Houses assembled in the White Hall of the Palace,
where they were met by the Ministers, in their state
uniforms, who took their place to the left of the
throne. The Tribunes were but thinly attended ;
the throne was covered, as usual, when the King
does not open the Session in person.
M. Manteuffel, the President of the Cabinet,
read the Royal address. The most important
paragraph is as follows :

" It is to be regretted that the treaty concluded with
Hanover on the 7th of September, 1851, and approved
of by the Chambers during the last session, has not met
with that general adhesion which was calculated to in-
sure, through the development of the whole Zollverein,
a future rich with prospects for all branches of
industry and commerce. But as his Majesty's
Government firmly holds the object in view,
even so does it consider itself confident, henceforth as
heretofore, in the full approbation of the country, if it
will not assent to the maintenance of the present cir-
cumscription of the Zollverein, under conditions which
would endanger the interests of Prussia, as well as the
prospects and salutary development of the whole Zollve-
rein. (Here the Minister was interrupted with loud and
general cheers.)

FOREIGN THEATRICA
_

ITALIAN OPERA.—The loveliest pastoral ever given to
the world in the form of an opera, the Sonnambu/a of
Bellini, was produced on Thursday night for the debut
of Mlle. Beltramelli. Mlle. Beltramelli possesses a good
soprano voice, and her style, without reaching that ex-

second act, in which she takes
so prominent a part,creditable, to Mlle.
Beltramelli's powers, both was
tatrice. In the .as an actress and a can-
well-known finale of the opera, she like-
wise showed herself an accomplished vocalist, though
evidently somewhat fatigued by her previous exertions.
On the whole, the debutante may justly claim an honour-
able rank in the list of M. Corti % prima donna. In the
other characters, the audience had to welcome two fa-
vourites. M. Calzolari's Elvino is already well known
to the habitue of the Salle Venta,dour, and he never
sang the part with more taste, tenderness, and expres-
sion, than on Thursday night. The beautiful cavatina,
"Il piu triste de' mortal'," particularly, he sang with a
sweetness and truth of expression that commanded the
admiration of every real dilettante. The Count was
M. Beletti, whose "Vi raviso " was among the most
applauded morceaux of the night, and left only a
regret, that the part contained so little for this
always accomplished artiste to sing. The choruses
and orchestra did their " spiritings" excellently.
Verdi's opera of Luisa Miller is in active rehearsal
both at the Italian Theatre and at the Grand Opera ; at
the former, the principal female characters will be sup-
ported by Mmes. Cruvelli and Borghi ; at the latter, by
Mmes. Bosio and Masson.
At Bologna, two prime donne are dividing the favour
of the public, Mine. Frezzolini in I Puritanic and Mlle.
Gazzaniga in Norma.

LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1852.

It is gratifying to know that already nearly
enough money has been subscribed to build over the
hitherto neglected grave of poor dear THOMAS
HOOD an appropriate monument, by way of testi-
monial. Yes—in the iron days of railroad's, in
this " age of bronze," as the nineteenth century
has been called, the great heart of the poet—
throbbing still for ever and for ever in his metre,
though it has long ago crumbled away to
dust under the sods of Kensal-green Ceme-
tery—has yet found a generous and ardent band
of sympathisers. "Alas, poor YoRICK !" We stand
by the ground that contains his mouldering
coffin, and we call to mind, not without a pang at
the remembrance of so many troubles in life and
of so much abandonment after death, the eccen-
tric and Protean wiles of the most quaint and
yet the most genial of humorists. Those who have
contributed to swell the already somewhat consider-
able fund now popularly known as the HOOD Testi-
monial, have manifestly felt something of this in
the transmission of their little tributes of gold and
silver to theishod i
treasurer.
But most of all, they must
have cherished in recollection the sweetness of that
h
music which
otou f ched with the deep and ex-
quisite vibrations its pathos their soul's inner-
most senßibilitie th
music which have come usic of those beautiful
songs
to
be loved at last as
among- the household Wordsof
lettered English-
men. It has only needed one
ectionate
from a woman's
cry of deep and az erj:
heart—a
admiration
i
for the popular gen us, now seven or eight years
departed, to ca
collectellthausiasm

gratitude, to

matters definitively, for the winding-up of theaffairs

of the Testimonial. After a third Trustee had
been unanimously elected to co-operate with the
Secretary and the Treasurer in carrying theout
general arrangements of, the enterprise, it was
decided that the Fluid should be fixed to
close on the first of the ensuing month of
February. A futile, and, as it appears to us,
a very frivolous effort was made on the part of
some malcontents to open wide the door of the

The poll opened at eight o'clock yesterday morning,
and from that time -until its close, great disorder and
rioting prevailed among the unruly mob which had as li
-
sembled around the polling-booth. Police-officers and
special constables were on the spot to protect the electors
proceeding to record their votes ; but the force was
scarcely sufficient to render effectual aid about the
middle of the day, when a large mass had congregated
so close to the booth as to preclude any voter getting
near the poll-clerk, unless he was known to be a sup-
porter of Lord Norreys, the popular candidate. The
collisions and affrays among the people were frequent
and severe ; and many a fellow was carried away
thoroughly exhausted with the drubbing he had received
from his antagonist. Precisely at four o'clock the poll
closed, and Lord Norreys' committee a few minutes
afterwards published the numbers as follow :—Lord
Norreys, 153 ; Mr. Burr, 129—majority for Lord Nor-
reys, 24. The town was in a state of great excitement,
and the tradesmen in the streets contiguous to the
polling-booth closed their shops, the uproar and con-
fusion reaching a height never before known on such
occasions.
