January 11.
THE LONDON' COMMITTEE for conducting
Mr. PERCEVAL'S ELECTION are anxious to assure their
friends, that the result of the Seventh Day's o
Pll, so far from dis-
couraging, is calculated to excite their sanguine expectations of suc-
cess. Nearly 200 of those who voted for Dr. Marsbam at the last
election have not, as yet, recorded their votes. If the unpolled
Members of Convocation are but true to themselves, they may
achieve a triumphant victory for Church of England and Constitu-
tional principles, by returning Mr. Perceval.
The poll, which commences at 10 a.m., and, closes at 5 p.m., will
be kept open until every elector has had an opportunity of recording
his vote.
The London Committee sit here daily ; and the Oxford Committee
in Magdalene Hall.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View; o the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondria...ifs.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICRP'ORD
." Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
zal contributions to German medical literature. This Is the first
dine, he informs ns, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
sower to . correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more olearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors weo make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ` Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money... ...This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JAN. 11.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE WELLINGTON AND BUTTERFIELD.)
The bankrupts were lacemen at Brighton. This was
the certificate meeting. Mr. Bagley opposed for the
assignees ; Mr. Lawrance supported.
Mr Bagley said the bankrupts commenced business in
April. 1848, with a capital of 3051. The sole ground of
opposition was the bankrupts' transaction with John
Wright, bookbinder, of Noel-street, Soho, who had ob-
tained the lion's share of the property.
His Honour said it had been established that the
bankrupts, having a knowledge that Mr. Wright could
seize the property, refused to do what was necessary to
enable the creditors to divide the property equally
amongst them ; but it did not appear to him from the
evidence that the bankrupts had acted fraudulently. It
was necessary that the public should know that when
debtors did not act fairly towards the main body of their
creditors, they should be punished when they came be-
fore the Court.

Mr. Lawrance—Your honour will grant protection,
the case being free from fraud ?
_ .

The Commissioner—Yes ; protection will be granted
for one month, and be then renewed, unless cause be
shown to the contrary.

SHERIFFS' COURT.— Tan. 11.

(Before Mr. R. Ogle and a Jury.)
. WEBSTER v. MAPLES.

This was an action brought by Mr. Webster, the pro-
prietor of " Webster's Royal Red Book," against the
defendant, as the representative of the Brighton and
Dieppe Steam-boat Company, to recover damages for
breach of contract, respecting the conveyance of the
plaintiff from London to Paris.
Mr. Wordsworth appeared as counsel for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Pearce, of the firm of Maples and Pearce, as
attorney for the defendant.
The plaintiff stated in evidence, that being in Paris
with some friends, they proceeded to the office of the
agent of the Steam-boat Company, in the Rue Basse des
Rempart, and on Friday and Saturday, the 3d and 4th
of September last, they inquired which was the
latest train by which they could leave Paris, to arrive in
London on Sunday, vitt Dieppe and Brighton, and were
informed that they would be in time for the steamer if
they left Paris by the one o'clock p.m. train on Saturday
for Dieppe. They accordingly took tickets at the office,
which booked them through to London, and left'Paris
by the train indicated,, but on their arrival at Dieppe
they found the steamer just steaming out of the
harbour. The plaintiff thereupon returned to Paris,
and proceeded to London vitt Boulogne and Dover by
which he incurred an additional expense of 3/. 15s. ld.
Mr. Robinson and Mr. Feeny, who accompanied Mr.
Webster, gave similar evidence.

For the defence, Mr. Pinhorn, the clerk of the agent
of the defendant at Paris was called, and stated that he
had no recollection of having made such a statement,
which would have been contrary to the practice of the
office.

The defendant deposed that he never gave instruction
to his agent to state that the one p.m. train would meet
the five p.m. boat.
The jury at once returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages, 61. ; full cost allowed.

THE LABOUR MARKET.

Migration from this province (Adelaide) towards the
gold fields of Victoria has recommenced. Up to the
present time, however, the departures have not so
greatly outnumbered the arrivals as to occasion any se-
rious suspension of the ordinary industrial occupations.
No public works and very few private undertakings are
in hand, on account of the anticipated desertions. Ne-
vertheless, labour of all sorts is exceedingly scarce, and
wages very high. Shearing has generally commenced in
the pastoral districts : most of the sheep owners having
been able to procure a sufficient number of hands to
make a commencement. The price given for shearing is
30s. per 100 with rations. According to present appear-
ances the shearing will be a very protracted one,
and the shipments of wool late in the season.
The greatest difficulties and annoyance are experienced
by the masters of vessels in procuring crews for any port
except Melbourne. The rate offering for the run. to
England is 751., and men not to be obtained.
The prospects of grain crops all over the colony were
never better than at present.
The following are the prices asked and obtained :
Blacksmiths, 10s. to 12s. per day.
Bakers, 21. 10s. to 31. per week, with board and lodg-
'

-Bullock-drivers, 251. to 301. per year, ditto.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Jazz. 11.

(Before Mr. Serjeant Adams,oAssistant-Judge.)
Thomas Pain, 63, was indicted for having unlawfully
and indecently assaulted Sarah Buckley, a girl of tender
years, with a felonious intent. There were three other
chargegof the same kind against him.
Mr. Parry prosecuted ; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh
defended.

The trial of this case lasted nearly the whole day, and
the details are of a nature unfit to meet the public eye.
The prisoner was the landlord of the Jolly Bakers pub-
lic-house, in Little Chesterfield-street, and the girls,
whose names were mentioned in the indictments, were
children in that neighbourhood. The evidence for the
prosecution showed that for some time he had been in
the habit of enticing little girls into his house, and then
conducting himself in an infamous manner towards them.
At length it was discovered by the mother of one of
them, and an investigation took place, the results of
which were the present prosecution.
Mr. Ballantine made a very powerful address to the
jury, after which

Mr. Sleigh called several witnesses, who spoke most
favourably of the prisoner's moral character.
The Assistant-Judge left the case to the jury on the
second count of the indictment, charging a common
assault.

The Jury retired, and after some deliberation found
the prisoner guilty on the second and third counts.
The Assistant-Judge said he perfectly concurred in the
verdict, and he was glad that it was one which had not
been come to hastily, and without deliberation, and
while the jury were out of Court he had told the learned
counsel that if the prisoner was found guilty it would
not be necessary to try him on another indictment, but
that if found not guilty in this case it was absolutely
necessary that another should be proceeded with. He
hoped he had exhibited no feeling in the case, and the
jury could not, he thought, distinguish in his summing
up to them, what were his private opinions on the de-
fendant's conduct. Now that they had given their ver-
dict, and he was sitting on the awful judgment seat to
pronounce the sentence, he would say that it
was clear that the prisoner had grossly polluted
young female children, and he might then be per-
mitted to express disgust and abhorrence at such infa-
mous conduct. If there was one offence which more
than another ought to be abhorred, it was this, and
the prisoner had committed it wholesale, He rejoiced
to say that these cases were taken up and prosecuted,
for by such prosecu,tions the moral feelings of the lower
classes would be elevated, and by the expression of the
disgust of all parties when such cases were brought for-
ward, parents of children, even in the lowest condition,
would be enabled to estimate the true value of moral
worth. In proportion (he said) as we direct our atten-
tion to those out of prison, instead of wasting all
our time on those in prison, so should we elevate the
moral character of the nation, and reform people by hun-
dreds, where now we effect only the reformation of one.
He then sentenced the prisoner to eighteen months' hard
labour.
