HALIFAX.

The polling took place yesterday. At the election in
July last Sir Charles Wood took the lead and kept it to
the close, when the numbers were—for Sir Charles Wood,
596 ; for Mr. Edwards, 521 ; majority for the former,
75. At this election the Tories began the fight in despe-
rate earnestness, and by way of securing their voters
they assembled them to breakfast early in the morning,
and then conveyed them off to the polling booths in cabs
and gigs as soon as the doors were opened. The effect
of this was to give Mr. Edwards a large majority in the
early part of the day ; but as the effort exhausted the
•
strength of his party, he soon after began to lose ground,
and by twelve o'clock he was in a minority. At half-
past nine o'clock he was in a majority of 150 ; but by
twelve o'clock Sir Charles headed the poll by 12 votes.
There are exactly 1,200 voters on the regiSter, and it was
not expected that many more than 1,050 would poll.
The poll closed at four o'clock, when the following
were
the numbers—

lIIEHE'S MANY A SLIP 'TWIXTTHE CUP AND THE
LIP."—The truth of this adage was strikinly verified
last week in the case of
anitinelraadnt. vendaetr
toifiehßrushhakeas,. who had been for a few
days
Moor's Head in Peterborough. genghad with him a
young damsel from the neighbourhood of Whittleseyf
whom he had placed under the care of a widow in Mid-
gate-street. The banns had been published, and their
marriage fixed for Sunday last, but, on the bruslanans
return from a hard day's toil on Saturday, he was in-
formed that his intended had decamped, taking with her
2/. and several articles of wearing apparel which he had
entrusted to her care. The aid of the chief constable
was procured, and the unfaithful one was found the fol-
lowing day, but not until she had melted the greater
part of the hawker's cash.

THE STEAM-SHIP ADELAIDE.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.—This mail-packet sailed last
evening for the Cape of Good Hope and Australia. On
Sunday afternoon she was taken from Hamoaze into the
Sound, with the intention of having her inspected by
Captain Lowe, R.N. ; but the gallant officer, judging
there was not sufficient light to make a satisfactory
examination, postponed the important duty until yes-
terday, when, with Captain Henderson, the Com-
pany's marine superintendent, Mr. Scott Russell, her
builder, Mr. Marshall, secretary, and others, she cruised
round the Eddystone. Against a heavy swell and head-
wind, when deeply laden, she made 104 knots ; she back-
ed at the rate of 6 knots. In order to try her altered
rudder she was put round twice to starboard and twice
to port. The screw being disconneeted, she was put un-
der canvas only. In all these positions her perform-
ances gave great satisfaction, and whatever inconvenience
may have been caused by the delay, her prospects for
securing a successful voyage, after her thorough overhaul
and repair, are greatly increased. It is also very
probable that, had she been out during the late ter-
rible gales, she might have incurred some of those
disasters which have told so painfully among shipping
of all elasses. During her stay in Plymouth she had
been relieved of five disagreeable passengers, one of
whom was arrested on a charge of forgery, and another
left the ship suddenly on seeing the detectives,
who found a large quantity of base coin in his
cabin. Nearly all her berths are full. She has forty-
five first and 111 second class passengers, and at
St. Vincent's will receive eight others, left there by
the Melbourne. The ship and cargo are roughly esti-
mated to be worth 600,0001. Insurances have been
effected for 530,0001., of which 350,000/. is for specie--
the highest sum, it is said, which would be taken on
that article. Additional mails embarked on Sunday.—
St. Vincent's, 1 ; Cape Town, 7 ; Cape Colony, 5 ;
Cape Fleet, 1 ; Port Natal, 2 ; King George's Sound,
2 ; Adelaide, 8 ; Melbourne, 23 ; Sydney, 4 ; New

OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—The
LONDON COMMITTEE for conducting the election of Mr.
DUDLEY PEECEVAL are anxious to state, that when the definite
refusal of Lord Chandos to be nominated was formally communi-
cated yesterday afternoon, they obtained Mr. Perceval's consent to
become the candidate at 'this most important crisis, and they have
the sincere pleasure of announcing that their selection has experi-
enced a most gratifying reception from those residents and non-resi-
dents who are anxious to see the University of Oxford represented,
not only by one of distinguished talents, but also by a sound Church-
man and consistent politician.
Determined to promote the success of their cause by every legiti-
mate exertion, they will not be diverted from their duty by unme-
rited obloquy in an ,nymou.s advertisements, or by plausible mis-
state rents in party periodicals.
The Pol, which commences daily at 9 a.m., and closes at 4.30
p.m., will be kept open for the full period allowed by law, in order
to afford every elector an opportunity of recording his vote.

The London Committee sit daily at the Trafalgar Hotel, Charing-
cross; and the Oxford Committee in NI agdalene Thll.

address also deserves notice, and it is a happy
characteristic of her projects, which cannot be too
much commended—namely, her anxious desire to
foster a spirit of independence in all who seek her
counsel and protection. What she desires, and
what we have always heartily desired for our poor
emigrants, and for our poor generally, is that best
of all help, the helping them to help them-
selves. It is not alms that Mrs. CHISHOLM
solicits for her emigrants, but the means of
enabling them, by their own labour, to earn
their daily bread. Whatever is advanced for
their outfit is to be 'repaid by the successful
labourers, and the day in which that is accom-
plished is the happiest in the life of the poor.
He who by the sweat of his own brow can earn
his own bread is fulfilling the command of his
CREATOR, and has no cause to look with envy
upon the rich, or to be abashed in the presence of
the great ones of the earth. We are not disposed
for one moment to underrate that charity which
gives and looks for no return.- The poor will
always be with us, that the virtues of patience on
the one side, and mercy on the other, may
continually have abundant opportunity to be
exercised ; but, at the same time, that
we give our alms to those who are helpless, let us
not neglect that duty which justice no less than
charity demands from us. Let us do what we can
to enable the strong and the willing—men who
have hands to labour, and hearts to love ; let us
do what we can to enable these to give a fair
day's work, and obtain a fair day's wages, to sup-
port themselves and those little ones GOD has
given to their charge.- For her zealous labours
in this holy cause we are grateful, deeply grate-
ful, to CAROLINE CHISHOLM, and we commend her
zeal to the example, and her work to the succour,
of all who have the will and the power to assist
their fellow-men. And not their fellow-men
only. Mrs. CHISHOLM is especially celebrated
as the friend and protectress of female Emigration.
All the arguments addressed in favour of Emigration
generally apply with double force to this peculiar
branch, seeing that at home the sources of female
employment are so few, and so grievously over-
stocked, while abroad the numbers of women are
comparatively few. To those who have not yet
given due thought to these important themes, we
commend the little volume above mentioned ; and
to the Post-office authorities, we trust that the
subject of money orders will meet with immediate
consideration.

CIRCULATION OF THE LONDON MORNING PAPERgI.
THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
The Stamp Returns of the circulation of the MORNING
NEWSPAPERS in 1850, the latest published, give the following
results :
Morning Advertiser 1,549,843
Daily News . . . • . 1,152,000
Morning Herald . . •
Morning Chronicle 912,547
• • • •
Morning Post • • • • • 828,000
It will be observed from this statement that, omitting the " Times,"
the circulation of the MORNING ADVERTISER was then far
above that of RR morning contemporaries. Early in 1851 the
MORNING ADVERTISER was permanently enlarged to a double
sheet, and since that time it has met with a measure of success,
both as regards the extent of its circulation, and the number of its
advertisements, which has no parallel in the annals of English
Journalism. Were the Stamp Returns to be given down to the
present time, the relative circulation of the MORNING ADVER-
TISER to its four morning contemporaries (assuming that their
circulation has undergone no diminution) would be as follows :
Morning Advertiser • • • • • • 2,220,000
Daily News .. • • • • • • 1,152.000
Morning Herald • • • . • • • • 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle .. •
912,547
Morning Post .. • • ▪ 824,000
It will be seen that the present circulation of THE MORNING
ADVERTISER is nearly double that of the two greatest of its four
contemporaries, and approaches to treble that of one of their num-
ber. This vast addition to the circulation of THE MORNING
ADVERTISER, obtained in less than two years, is the result of its
progress in all parts of the country, and among all classes of society.
So proud a position among its contemporaries is to be regarded as
the best tribute that could be paid to its thorough independence of
all parties and Governments, and its earnest advocacy of the
pointer cause.

Mr. DAVIS, solicitor, nominated Mr. Hope, and

Mr. GOODRICH briefly seconded the nomination.
Both candidates addressed the electors at some length,
after which the show of hands was taken. The numbers
were very close, and the sheriff had to take them tiVice,
ere he decided it to be in favour of Admiral Berkeley.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Hope,
which was fixed to open at eight o'clock next morning.
A vote of thanks to the sheriff closed the proceedings
of the nomination.

OXFORD CITY.
Yesterday the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade in the new Administration,
was elected, without opposition, a repersentative for the
city of Oxford, in the room of Sir W. Page Wood, who
has recently been appointed a Vice-Chancellor. The
proceedings were fixed to take place in the vicinity of the
Town-hall, at 12 o'clock, at which hour the right hon.
gentleman, accompanied by his principal supporters, ar-
rived in the council chamber, whither he was conducted
from the Star Hotel by his friends, who formed a pro-
cession, headed by flags and banners bearing the mot-
toes, " The sail, the loom, the plough, and a free market
for all ;" " Union at home—peace abroad ;" "Freedom
of suffiuge," &c. ; and a band of music playing appro-
priate airs. -

Mr. William Walsh proposed and Mr. Sheriff Grat,
seconded the nomination of the right hon gentleman.
Mr. Cardwell addressed the electors at some length, and
the proceedings at the hustings closed with a vote of
thanks to the Mayor. The right hon. gentleman then
underwent the ceremony of a public " chairing," and
was borne through the principal streets of the city in pro-
cession amidst the strains of a band of music, the
ringing of the church bells and the acclamations of the
multitude.

The ordinary half-yearly general, meeting of this `com-
pany
the report of the directors, which was read by Mr.
Powles, the secretary, the following is the principal
:por-
tion—

"The number of loaded ships from foreign ports which
entered into the London Docks during the six months
ending November 30 last,
was 711, measuring 228,551
e. The number for the corresponding period in 1851,
tons.
688, measuring 195,769 tons, being an increase of
32,782 tons. The amount of earnings during the six
months has been 235,594/. 16s. 4d. The amount of
the like earnings for the corresponding period of 1851,
was
233,8011. ss. 7d. The amount of expenditure dur-
ing the six months ending November 30 last, has been
140,221/. 14s. ld. The amount of the like expenditure
for the corresponding period of 1851, was 134,712/.
6s. 9d. The amount of expenditure includes the pay-
ment of the income tax. By the statement annexed to
the report it will be seen that the balance standing to
the credit of profit and loss, is 251,031/. ss. 6d. Out
of which the directors recommend the payment of a
dividend of 2/. 10s. per cent. on the company's stock
for the half-year, amounting to 90,9571. 12s. 3d., which
will leave a balance in favour of the company of 160,073/.
13s. 3d. Of this balance standing to the credit of profit
and loss the sum of 181,8041. 7s. 5d., consists of the
amount of outstanding charges due to the company on
goods in warehouses. The stock of goods in the ware-
houses on the 30th of November last was 114,736 tons.
At the same time last year it was 132,437 tons. The
warehouse at the eastern dock, adverted to at the general
meeting in July last, together with the hydraulic ma-
chinery in connection therewith, is so far completed as
to be available in a fortnight if required ; and the stand-
ing orders of the Rouse of Commons necessary to enable
the directors to carry into effect the resolutions of the
29th of October last have been complied with." The
chairman having put the formal motion that the report
be adopted, the resolution was carried, as was another,
authorising the dividend of 2/. 10s. per cent., free of
income tax ; and after a vote of thanks to the chairman
mid the other directors (which Mr. Cattley acknow-
ledged) the meeting separated.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Talfourd.)
The Court was occupied this morning with a charge of
rape against Charles Murray, described as a medical
student, committed on a child nine years of age. The

had also seduced an elder sister of the prosecutrix of the
age of 14. The case had not concluded when our
reporter left.

on )a, and sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

assaulting Emma Salter, upon the highway, and stealing

would be worth 91. per annum and his food on board

or thereabouts.
While the vessel is in port, and the crew dismissed, a
constant routine of petty work has to be performed,
scarcely enough for a man, and not often too much for a
boy. You must have some one to do it. Now a man's
wages will be 18s. per weok, but the boy's wages would
only be 3s. lid. ; add food, 10s.—naaking 13s. lid. per
week. If you employ a rigger his wages are 245. per
week.

in the West Indies.

When a green boy joins his vessel a day or so before
she leaves port, he finds himself totally adrift and in
every body's way ; his ignorance and bewilderment are
called stupidity, and, of course, he is bullied by the
officers and cursed by the men. Slowly, amid sea sick-

This fellow is at once of service, more than double the
value of the green hand ; yet the usual pay of the latter
as an apprentice is 4/. for the first year and his food. It
is easily seen that the trained lad' would be worth two
of him.
As to the value of a boy after six months' training, I
may give the following example :—I engaged a strong,
hardy lad, of some 16 years of age ' • he joined his ship
for the first time last March ; he has made two North
American voyages, and has been most serviceable during
the recent trip home from Quebec. He deserved a
present, and has received one.
I fully agree with your correspondent on the great
benefits which would result from the addition of moral
and intellectual training to the nautical education.

send him my address.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT OF MONEY BY A SERVANT,

Francis Muirhead pleaded not guilty to an indictment
charging him with embezzling certain sums of money to
a large extent, the property of Mr. Thomas Parker
Clements.

Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Clarke, solicitor to the
Tradesman's Protection Society, Regent-street, attended
for the prosecution, and Mr. Birnie for the defence.
Mr. Sleigh, in opening the case to the jury, stated
that the prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Clements, a
linendraper in Judd-street, and was paid a salary of 1/.
ss. per week to collect the prosecutor's debts. The pri-
soner had been in the employ of the prosecutor for about
four years, and had been in the daily duty of going round
to the customers to collect money, and at night had to
account for all_ money received, and enter it in a cash
book provided for that purpose. In the course of his
business he called upon a customer, and gave credit to a
Mr. Harding for 125., and upon a subsequent occasion
for 135., but had never accounted for more than 2s.
The prisoner had also given credit to a Mr. Townsend
on the 21st of last August for 2/. 25., of which the pro-
' secutor had never received a farthing. The learned
counsel concluded by calling Mr. Clements, who clearly
bore out the learned counsel's statements.

The learned Judge having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty ; and the learned Judge having
ascertained that the defalcations amounted to more than
1001., sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour in the House of Correction for fifteen calendar
months.

CORN EXCHANGE.
An unusually small supply of English wheat was on offer
in to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage, and

steady business was doing in all kinds of wheat of home
produce, at an advance in the quotations of from is to 2s
per quarter. For forward delivery, very little was doing.
Foreign wheats—the show of which was very moderate
—moved off freely, at from is to 2s per quarter more
money.
Floating cargoes were in request, and somewhat dearer.
We were very scantily supplied with barley, the value
of which improved is per quarter.
Malt moved off steadily, at very full prices.
Oats—the show of which was small were 6cl to is per
quarter higher.
Beans, peas, and flour were held for more money. The

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of beasts on offer hero to-day was very mo-
derate, both as to number and quality. All breeds were
in sluggish request, at Monday's prices. The primest Scots
were selling at 4s 6d per 81bs. Sheep, the arrivals of which
were comparatively small—moved off slowly, but we have
no change to notice in their value. The best old Downs
were worth 5s 2d per 81bs. Owing to the non-arrival of
several steamers from Holland, very few calves were
brought forward. The veal trade was therefore brisk, at
an advance of from 6d to 8d per Blbs. Pigs were steady
and quite as dear as on Monday.
Mitch cows moved off slowly, at from 141. to 19/. each,
including their small calf.
