NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYNIE.

At the conclusion of Mr. Austin's address the room was
cleared, and the Committee I-erne:tie:l in deliberation till live
o'clock, when Counsel and agents were called in.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that the Committee bad agreed
to the following Report :
That William Henry Miller is duly elected to serve in
the present Parliament for the Borough of Newcastle-under-
Lyme.
That the petition of Richard Badnall does not appear to the
said Committee to be frivolous and vexatious.
That the opposition to the said petition does not appear to
the Committee to be frivolous and vexatious.
That from evidence taken before the Committee it appears
tilat a most objectionable practice has existe ! fur many
yeari in the borough of Newcastle-under- Lyme of distributing
,noney after the election to the poorer voters.
The Committee also think it right to call the attention of
the House to the fact, that at the last election for Newcastle-
under-Lyme the votes were taken in alphabetical order ; a
practice which, from the evidence brought before them, ap-
pears to the Committee to have a tendency to facilitate and
promote bribery and corruption.

Smith, on the ground that he had paid bribes to procure vote,
for the petitioner.
Mr. Pou.ocic submitted that the objection could not be en-
tertainrd—that the fact of an elector's bribing others did
r.-A vitiate his rote; nor did it bring him within the jurisdic-
t
nof this Committee. The offence of giving a bribe was for
the cognizance of another tribunal. It was quite different from
Cie offence of taking a bribe, which would vitiate the vote of
the person bribed ; but nut that of the person bribing.
After a long discussion and deliberation, the Committee de-
cided that the objection should be entertained.
It is believed that this important decision, that the vote of a
briber as well as a bribes is bad, will determine the Este of
the petition.
A witness, named Parker, statei that he was employed
by Smith to give .50/. to his (witneis's) brother-in-law, to in-
J.uce him to vote for Mr. Nichol. 'Witness gave the money
to is brother-in-law's daughter, in the presence of her father,
:he day after the vote was given f;:r Nichol.
After the evidence of this witness the Committee adjourned.

YOUGHAL.

The Committee met at eleven o'clock, and proceeded to the case of
Richard Smith, whose vote was yesterday objected to on the ground that
he had bribed a voter, one Garrett Landers, having given 501. to
Parker, the brother.in.law of the latter, to be paid over to Landers after
he had voted for the Tory candidate, Nichol. Mr. Poi,Locx today
commented at great length upon the evidence of Parker, which, he
contended, was improbable in itself, and inconclusive as it regarded
Smith. Besides, it was held in the law courts that the evidence of an
accomplice was not sufficient without confirmation, and in this case
the only corroboration which was pretended to be given, was the letter
of Mr. Smith, which was not to be received in that light, as it was under
the control of the accomplice.
After a long deliberation the Committee deoided that the vote of
Smith was a good one.

CRIMINAL COURT-THURSDAY.

OLD COURT.
Alt akinford, aged 14 years, was indicted for maliciously
shooting at anotiier bey named Scot, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
The prosecutor and several other boys ;vetn tossing the pri-
soner by gibing him and throwing stones at him_ 1-1 e told
them that unless they went away he would shoot them. Tuey
persevered in their conduct, and lie turned round and fired a
pistol, loaded with shot, at them. The shot struck the prose-
moor on the head.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty of assault, and recom-
mended him to mercy.
Mr. Don: E suggested that the ends of justice would be an-
swered if the boy was well flogged by his father,
Mr. Justice VAUGHAN— Yes ; but how are we to know that
the father will do so?
Mr. DOANE—Oh, I will give an assurance on the subject.
Mr. Justice VAUGHAN —Thrn the better way will be to post-
pone the sen once until the flogging has been given.—( A lau4b.)
John Sandford. aged 43, who ssas described as an architect
and surveyor, was indicted for forging a certain deal relative
to leasehold property. The circumstances of the ease involved
so many contradictions that the jury interrupted Sir F. Pollock
(who was specially retained for the prisoner) and returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.

HORRIBLE!—WhiIst the press in other quarters
is furnishing so many dirk and distressing events, it becomes
our painfurduty to add the foliowing co:ltriLution to this mass of
horrors : --...Extract from a letter, dated Warm Spring, Aug. 12,
1838: " One of the most horrible and outragek.us acts ima-
ginable was perpetrated in our neighbourhood the evening be-
fore last, in the murder of two daughters of Mr. George
Mayse. The children, about sex and eight years of age, were
at school at Mr. Ptomey's, near Mr. Mayse's residence. It
becoming later than the usual time of their return, Mrs.
Mayse became uneasy, and sent in search of them. The met-
senger proceeded directly to Mr. Ptomey's, and some of the
family joined in the search; and they found the poor little in-
nocents, lying side by side in the road near to their father's
gate ; their clothes decently smoothed down, and their throats
cut from car to ear, apparently with a sharp instrument, w.ith,.
-out any other mark of violence. Their bo•!ies were committed
to to the same grave last evening, at this place. Threeo
Mayse's slaves (a man and two women) have been,n committed
of their
to gaol under strong circumstantial evidence ;
guilt their seems not a shadow ofdoubt. —Richmond Enquirer.

SWIMMING MATCH ACROSS THE THAMES.—A swimming
match took place yesterday in the Thames, near the Stadium,
Chelsea, the seat of the late Lord Cremorne, which has been
converted into a sort of exhibition garden, under the manage-
ment of the Baron de Beranger. The distance was from the
Chelsea to the Battersea shore, at b;gh water, and the prizes
consisted of four pieces of plate. Thirteen men, seven at on
time, the remaining a few minutes af:er, jumped into tho
stream, and swam their distance in less than 14 minutes, which
we understood to be excessively fast. The competitors were
chiefly mechanics and watcrmen. The attendance of spectators
was not very large.

rent to less than 50/. The Rev. Gentleman claimed as "oc-
cupying tenant," and on former occasions where similar facts
have been proved, the Revising Barristers for this division of
the county have decided that they were fatal to the claims.
Mr. BULLOCK, however, retained Mr. Vinell's name.
John Brook, the parish clerk of Tudeley, was objected to
by the Liberals. Mr. WORDSWORTH allowed his claim.
A case came before Mr. WORDSWORTH, in which George
Criddle, John Crump, 4ind William Diplock,: three of twelve
Trustees, claimed to vote in respect of a frettlfilidisliapel be-
longing to the sect of Particular Baptists, in the pa-itch of
Hadlow.

Mr. WORDSWORTH reserved his decision until this Itiorning„
when he decided that in this instance he did not think the
Trustees were in possession or in the receipt of the rents and
profits for their own use, and he should, therefore, disallow
the claims.

NEW COURT.

Sarah Shaw, George Mitson, and Sarah Mitson, his wife
were indicted for stealing a purse containing thirty sovereigns
a silver watch and gold appendages, a diamond pin, a mourning
ring, and twenty-one duplicates, the propetty of a young widow
of the name of Ann Robinson, from her person.
The prosecutrix has recently lost her husband. On the
19th of August she left home w►th 301. in her pocket, to take
to her late husband's stock-broker. She had the other ar-
ticles named in her pocket. She went by way of Shoreditch,
near where she met Shaw, whom she had known before, when
she condoled with her on her loss. She went to a public-house
and had half a quartern of gin, when witness told her that she
had pledged her furniture, and was going to take the proceeds
to the stock-broker, and that she was going to pledge her
watch and jewellery. Shaw enticed her to go to her house in
Holton, to have tea, and they were joined by the other prison-
ers. The man said you are perfectly safe, we are all brothers
and sisters. Shaw went outs and fetched some gin in a pot,
which she took into another -room, and then brought her a
glass. She refused to drink it at first ; but Shaw and the
male prisoner forced it upon her. l3efore she had drunk it all
she fell down deprived of her senses. When she recovered
she found herself lying on the floor, her dress disordered and
the bottom of her pockets cut off, and all her money and pro-
perty gone. All the prisoners had abandoned her.
Evidence was called to prove that soon after the robbery
Shaw and the male prisoner rode away in a cab, and were
seen at a distance with the property. They were appre-
hended with the greatest:part of the property in their pos-
session.
The Jury acquitted Sarah Mitson, and found her husband
and Shaw Guilty.
The COMMON SERGEANT said that the sentence of the
Court was that they be severally transported for_ the term of

ten years.
When Mr. Sergeant ARAsiN took his seat on the bench at
half-past five o'clock, the Grand Jury brought in several bills
of indictment for felonies and misdemee.nors, and among them
was one containing several yards of wide parchment against
Henry Freeman and Jasper Cole, connected with a weekly
publication called the Town, for libels, which were set out in
the body of the bill at length.

-organised for the avowed purpose of destroying every
vestige of the British Constitution, may not be dangerous
at present. It is yet in the weakness of infancy. lint no-
thing can be more clear than that, if Ministers permit it to
grow to maturity, it will present a danger requiring wiser
heads and arms more vigorous than theirs to avert or to
encounter it. This, however, if we may judge from the
past conduct of Ministers, is what they will probably do.
Nothing better can reasonably be expected at their hands,
than that this seditious, revolutionary, and most dangerous
confederacy shall be permitted to go on, and to increase,
as in the case of Canada, until some serious calamity shall
have ariien, and that then they will suddenly betake them-
selves to some mode of repairing the mischief, repugnant
alike to the first principles of the Constitution, and the ob-
vious dictates of justice.—Morning Post.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday Mr. Jasper Gnivas, proprietor of omnibus 4,514,
appeared before Messrs. CODD and GROVE to a summons pre-
ferred against him by Inspector Mellish, of the N division,
charged with driving at a speed endangering the lives of her
Majesty's subjects.
Pollee constable N 263, on Saturday morning, about half-
past •nine o'clock, we.; in Stoke Newington, when the defen-
dant's omnibus passed him. Ai it approached the horses were
gallopping, and they continued to do so till they were out of
sight; the animals were not flogged.
The defendant bad no witnesses, when he was fined 40s. and
costs.
Mr. Gaova remarked that it was time that a stop should be
put to the furious driving on that road. They had constant
complaints Prom the Insp,c!or, sad it wes the only road in the
district of the office that he had to find fault with.
The defendant said it was a hard, case for him to pay so
heavy a fine.
Mr. Conn said that they had mitigated it from 5/. to 40s.
Mr. GROVE—lie will find it harder by the 7th of next
month, when he would be liable to be sent to the tread-mill,
according to the Act which will then come in force. We shall
then be able to put a stop to the practice of furious driving.
The fine was paid.

FROM LOWER CANADA.

The Montreal _Herald of the 20th insinuates that Grand
Brule is in an unquiet state, and that the French Canadian
population are not the least to be depended upon in their loyal
professions. This Paper says, " The mildest punishment tho
rebels in prison should be visited with is, transportation to the
far east.'" There are estimated to be in the prisons about
four hundred.

DUEL in WASHINGTON—DEATH of Mr. CILLEY.
'Washington, Feb. 24, Saturd'y Night.
A melancholy affair has taken place among the great men
of the nation. Cilley, of Maine, has been killed in a duel to-
day by Graves, of Kentucky. It appears that Colonel Webb,
of the Courier, challenged Cilley for what he had said of him
io the house, and Graves carried the challenge. Cilley re-
fused to fight such a "blackguard," as he called him, and was
challenged thereupon by Graves. according to the laws of
duelling, which challenge he accepted. They fought with
rifles, agreeably to the request of Cilley, I believe, first three
times without injury : the fourth fire Cilley was shot through
the body, the ball dividing the principal artery leading to the
heart. He placed his hand upon the part where the ball en-
tered, exclaiming " I am wounded I" gasped two or three times,
and expired. Graves not injured. Great excitement pre-
vails, as you may suppose. The body of Cilley was brought
in, and carried to his lodging between fivd and six this
afternoon.

Washington, Feb. 27, Tuesday evening.
Yesterday the two Houses of Congress adjourned as a tes-
timony of regard to the memory of the deceased, and to-day
in a body they have attended the funeral ; and fur thirty
days, of course, they have resolved to wear crape upon the
left arm in respect to the memory of the dead. All, there-
fore, that could be done to save the sting of deatli, and to
wipe out the reporach of the manner of the death, has
been done.

TEXAS.—NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 20.—8 y the brig Opeloußas,
Baptain Collins, arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, we
have information of the sailing of a Mexican fleet, for the
purpose of blockading the ports of Texas. The fleet con-
sisted of one ship, one brig, and two schooners ; they left
Vera Cruz on the 6th instant. By this arrival and that of the
schooner Creole, from Tampico, upwards of 45,000 dollars in
specie has been received.
Maxie°. —The schooner Creole, Captain Pormer, arrived
yesterday, brings us recent dates from Tampico and other
Mexican cities. With regard to political movements at Tam-
pico, everything remained tranquil; but considerable anima-
tion existed in commerce in spite of the small quantity of
merchandise in this place, and foreign goods were in great de-
mand.

The Creole brings 42,000 dollars in specie, consigned partly
to commercial houses, and pertly to indiviivals in this city.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 24.
EDWARDS V. GOODWIN.

This was a bill praying an account of the assets of the
estate of a testatrix, and a distribution among the creditors.
The testatrix, Mrs. Smith Anthony, had kept the Centre
Hotel, at Buxton, in Derbyshire, for a number of years, and at
her death, in 1828, she made a will, directing her real and
personal estate to be applied to the payment of her debts, and
appointing the defendant, Goodwin, and a person named
Brittlebank, her executors. There was no real estate, and
the personalty appearing to be insufficient to satisfy the cre•
ditors, an arrangement was entered into, by which the Duke
of Devonshire, through his agent, consented to accept a
fourth part of the same due to him for rent, on the condition
that simple contract creditors, being tradesmen of Buxton,
were paid their demands in full ; and on the understanding
that the executors were to keep the hotel open during the
season of 1828. This arrangement was carried into effect in
part. The hotel was kept open for the season of 1828, with
the knowledge and consent of the creditors, and also for the
season of 1829, without their avowed concurrence. In both
seasons there was a loss; and after the payment of a debt due
to the Duke of Devonshire there remained no sum to pay the
creditors. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff sought to
make the executors responsible for the losses sustained by
carrying on the business of the hotel in 1829.
After hearing the arguments of Counsel, the LORD-
CHANCELLOR thought it impossible to come to any satisfactory
conclusion in the present state of the cause, and he, therefore,
directed an account to be taken of the receipts and payments
up to the end of 1828, and an inquiry as to what circum-
stances, and under whose authority, the hotel had been kept
open in the season of 1829.

NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP.

Mr. PEASE presented sixteen petitions from Durham and
Lancaster, praying for the termination of the Negro Appren-
ticeship system.
BELFAST ELECTION PETITION.

Mr. M. O'CONNELL presented a petition against the
return of Lord Belfast and Mr. Gibson for Belfast, stating
that Mr. Tennent, one of the sitting Members, having
been desired to produce certain deeds of documents re-
lating to the property in respect of which he claimed
to be qualified, he required a sum of money for his expenses in
travelling to Belfast, and that he also claimed 10/. for return-
ing expenses to Belfast, amounting in the whole to 451. 103.
The other of the present sitting Members, Mr. Dunbar also
claimed expenses to the amount
of 421. Is. He also claimed

101. for returning expenses to Belfast, which was, however,
not allowed by Mr. Rose the examining officer. The peti-
tioners submitted that the officer of the House had erroneously
passed these expenses, and they prayed for some amendment
in the regulations of the House!on this subject. He (Mr. M
O'Connell) would move that this petition be brought up, and
he would afterwards move that it be printed, giving notice
that ha would bring the subject forward on Thursday.
Mr. W. CURRY presented a petition from Armagh,
against the Irish Poor-law Bill, also a petition from an individual
residing in the same place, stating that he had invented a ma-
chine which was likely to prove useful to persons engaged in
agricultural pursuits, but owing to the expence of taking out
patents in Ireland, he had been unable to publish it. He,
therefore, prayed the House to take the law of patents into
consideration, with a view to diminish the expence relating
thereto.

Mr. THORNLEY presented a petition from Stoke-upon-
Trent, signed by 215 electors of that Borough, complaining
of the intimidation and corruption which was practised at the
last election, and praying for the protection of vote by Ballot,
and the abolition of the rate-paying Clauses of the Reform Bill.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, 'Msacir 24.

Our supplies from Ireland this week are very moderate, owing in part
perhaps to stormy weather. To Wakefield there is a large arrival of
Wheat and Barley. The trade since our last report has been very quiet
in all its branches : speculators are not inclined to increase their stocks
at present rates, and consumers limit their purchases to the supply of ins.
mediate wants. At Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday, a moderate bu-
siness only was done in all articles. The same description applies to our
Market of this Day, and the value of every thing remain: much the same
as last quoted.

pool to the same effect.

ENDOWMENT TO THE SCOTCH CHURCH.
Mr. C. L USHING TON presented a petition from the
friends of civil and religious liberty, agreed to at a public
meeting in the City of London Tavern on the ith of March,
stating that the report of the Commissioners on religious
instruction in Scotland showed there was no want of Church
accommodation, and that in Edinburgh and Glasgow there
were many thousand sittings unlet. The petitioners also
stated that the Dissenters of Scotland had erected from seven
to eight hundred places of worship, and that the Church of
Scotland ought to bear the expense of their religious
establishment, and the petitioners therefore prayed that no
grant be made in form of additional endowments, but that the
ecclesiastical establishment of Scotland might h 3 left to its
own resources.
