GLOUCESTER.

GLOUCESTER, WEDNESDAY.—The poll opened yester-
day morning at eight o'clock, and in accordance with
the behests of the two rival committees, the electors
" rushed to the poll' at an early hour to record their
votes. The booths were erected in a cluster in the corn-
market in Eastgate-street, a small covered building,
totally inadequate to the purpose, and in the most
crowded thoroughfare in the city, this being one of the
principal streets of local traffic, besides being also the
great thoroughfare to the railway station. The conse-
quence was, that great difficulty was experienced by
voters in getting to the poll, and as a large majority
were brought up in flys and omnibuses, there was great
confusion and excitement in the neighbourhood, so that
the tradesmen had to close their shops, and business was
suspended. Throughout the day bands of music were
parading the streets, and everybody wore his particular
colours, while vehicles were rushing through the streets
conveying the "free and independent" to the poll. At
the close of the poll at four o'clock the numbers were—
Admiral Berkeley - 762
Mr. Hope

Majority for Berkeley
There were many serious fights in the course of the
day, and one man was carried off to the hospital in an
insensible state.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLIX.

" Believe me, nothing has a chance in racing matters
without perfect and safe information," you know what
that means."—The Daltons, by Charles Lever.

Very good, Mr. Lever ; the words you have put into
the mouth of your mental creation are remarkably true
and very much to the point, for " nothing has a chance
in racing matters without safe 'information; and and to
endeavour to furnish this will be my task during the
season we are just about to enter on.
In the race of judgment during the last two years I
have been more successful than any other sporting
writer, having in 1851 selected the winner in one hun-
dred and ninety-six instances out of three hundred and
eighty-three races that I had commented on ; and last
year, more fortunate still, hit the mark two hundred and
thirty-four times out of four hundred and twenty-one
attempts at selecting the winner. These are my creden-
tials to the confidence of my readers.
The racing prospects of 1853 are the brightest on re-
cord, the nominations for most of the stakes being
stronger than in any previous year. The Chester Cup
has closed with two hundred and sixteen entries—a
number unparalleled in any race but the Derby. The
Metropolitan Stakes has also obtained the largest entry
since its creation.
The Derby, however, now commands my entire atten-
tion. I shall begin my analysis with the great stable of
the north, as it contains the first favourite for the race
at the present time, and has been the most successful
stable in the great races of the year latterly.

Lord Alfred Paget, appointed Chief-Equerry to her
Majesty, was re-elected for this city yesterday (Wednes-
day) morning. There was no opposition, and the sup-
porters of the noble lord, who for many years have been
the adherents of the Anson and' nglesey families, were
the only persons who had apparently any concern in the
matter. The inhabitants of the city did not appear to
know that an election was going forward.

Grimm's Household Stories. Addey.
_ _

The stories of the Brothers Grimm, newly trans-
lated and adorned with 240 most beautiful illus-
trations by Viehnert, having been issued in monthly
parts, are now complete in two volumes, contain-
ing an amazing amount of amusing reading
matter of interest and matter for laughter.

A Hero. By the Author of " Olive," &c. Addey.
A tale by the authoress of the " Head of the
Family" must always possess sufficient attraction
to excite the attention of her readers. The present
volume is intended for the young, but'it is not de-
ficient in entertainment for those more advanced
in years. The moral is an excellent one, and one
generally much needed by young people, especially
school-boys. It shows that the seemingly quiet,
unpretending character, frequently contains more
of the heroic qualities of self-sacrifice and presence
of mind than the reckless and apparently fearless
disposition, which, nevertheless, frequently fails in
the hour of danger or difficulty. The characters
are well drawn, as is always the case with this
author, and the little volume contains much to in-
terest and improve its readers.

Aladdin and Sinbad, and Far-famed Tales,
Addey.
_ _ _

These two little volumes contain some of the chief
stories of the " Arabian Nights." These tales, in-
teresting alike to old and young, need no recom-
mendation but their juvenile admirers will find
this little edition presents them in a new form, easy
of attainment. The type is excellent, and we trust
Mr. Ackley will complete the series.

The Dial of Love. A. Christmas book for the
Young. By Mary Tiowitt. Darton and Co.
A very pleasing and simple little book, intended
for the very -young, who are already so much in-
debted to Mi 7. Howitt for the charming little tales
and verses she has given them. It is very taste-
fully bound, and is well suited for a Christmas
gift.
London, England, 1853-01-06

rZer,
ri;„. •co mnication will nt only remove
• At: •s it will also tend to. :make the fact
of those di' erences having arisen-extend- into-a system
ofreciprocal advantage and the greater e xtcnsion of com-
mercial intercourse between the two countries. (Ap.
plause.) And lam satisfied of this, t hat we can have
no representative more fitting to maintain these views
and keep up that friendly communicat ion which was
carried on, I am happy to say, by his immediate prede-
cessor' than one who will unite with the frank, liberal,
ind cordial spirit which actuated him—a firm devotion
to the liberties of his country, at the same time that he
respects the rights and claims of those who, on the part
of this country, can put forward matters to him ; and I
am sure we can have no one more fitting to discharge
those duties than him whom you have honoured,
and who has honoured us, your guest this evening.
(Applause.) His lordship, again acknowledging the
toast, resumed his seat amid enthusiastic applause.
The company separated a few minutes before twelve
o'clock.

Preciosa. A Tale. John Chapman.

This is a volume better suited to those who pre-
fer thoughtful and reflective works than to the ad-
mirers of brilliant sketches or lively narratives.
But while some may find it tedious, others will be
interested in its development of character. Edward
Eustace, the hero, notwithstanding his hesitation
and melancholy, is more attractive to the reader
than Lucy Ledyard, his " Preciosa," who is some-
what too bold and self-dependent to be altogether
pleasing. It is an agreeable little • tale, though
partaking too much of the melancholy to suit all
tastes.

The Charm. Almanac. Addey.

An almanac for little readers, by the Editor of
the Charm Magazine, embellished with twenty
illustrations, for the sum of Spence, containing
an almanac of the year, and various information.

BOW-STREET.-( THIS DAY.)

Mary Troy was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine
charged with stealing two 51. notes, the property oilier
father.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner has
been for some time past in the habit of keeping her
father's (an elderly man) room clean, for which she was
paid a weekly salary. Yesterday morning she got very
drunk, and treated the whole of the lodgers in the house
to port wine, got several things out of pawn, and was
very free with some money which she had. The father
missing the two notes, gave information to the police,
who, upon repairing to the prisoner's home, found that
she had changed some notes, and that she had told one
of the lodgers " that she had done it, and that she had
another fiver in her pocket." The prisoner was veil
badly off.

Mr. Jardine ordered her to be remanded for the pro-
duction of further evidence.

TURK-Y-

The Journal de Con stantinople, of the 19th, con-
firms the news already communicated relative to
the blockade of the Albanian coast. The semi-offi-
cial organ of the Turkish Government says, that it
is to extend " from Ulcinia (no such place is to be
found in any.of my maps) to the extremity of the
Turkish frontiers. Austria will not permit the
Turks to land either in the Bay of Cattaro or near
Stagno, and the military force in Dalmatia
is being much increased. The argument
employed by the Austrians in defence of their
policy is, that they have as much right to
prevent the Turkish ships entering " their "
bays and creeks as the Turks have to consider them-
selves masters of the Bosphorous. • A remark that
both the coasts of the
,Bosphorous belong to the
Turks, but that the Austrians are willing to deny
the right of way of the Turks to their own property,
was received with a tremendous burst of indigna-
tion.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT. OF BANKRUPTCY—JAN. 5.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN RE LORD HIINTINGTOWER.

Mr. Bennett made an application to the Court under
the following circumstances :—His client (Mr. Hume)
was engaged in a Chancery suit connected with this
bankruptcy. In 1849, 1850, and 1851 he was examined
in this Court. The evidence referred to transactions
extending over a period of nine or ten years past, and he
wished to be now furnished with a copy of the deposi-
tions then given. It was impossible for any witness to
recollect minutely what he had stated under such cir-
cumstances, and he trusted that the Court would grant
a copy of the depositions ; of course at the expense of Mr.
Hum•.

Mr. Nias, for the assignees, resisted the application.
If there had been a delay in giving the evidence, that
delay had been occasioned by Mr. Hume himself. The
assignees had for several years sought to procure Mr.
Hume's evidence touching a great quantity of property
which he held under trust. They had only at length
got at him by the Commissioner of this Court making a
summons good when left at Mr. Hume's house. If Mr.
Hume had not told the truth then, that was no reason
why his memory should be assisted now, and if he had
sworn the truth, he could repeat it. If Mr. Hume were
allowed to possess a copy of his statements already
made, it might be the means of frustrating justice.
Mr. Bennett thought Mr. Nias had not correctly re-
presented the facts of the case. He was not aware that
Mr. Hume had avoided the service of a summons of this
Court, although he was not able to state that suoh was
not the case.
• Mr. Nias repeated that the facts were as he had repre-
sented them.
The Commissioner said that if a man had sworn the
truth at one time, he could do so again. He saw no
reason to depart from the practice of the Court. The
application would be dismissed with costs.
Dismissed accordingly.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JAN. 5.
(Before the Chief Commissioner,)
IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD WARD PELHAM.
This insolvent, the original Ethiopian, whose case was
mentioned on a former occasion, again came before the
Court. There was no further opposition offered. The
case had been adjourned to insert a residence omitted.
The Court named the 26th instant for the final order.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Law.)
IN RE JOHN WOLSEY.
This was an application for discharge, on the ground
of non-payment of "the sixpences." The insolvent had
a judgment of twelve months' imprisonment, at the suit
of a gentleman named Dayrell. He made an applica-
tion for an allowance on account of his poverty. The
money had not been paid by the detaining creditor, and
hence the present application.
Mr. Commissioner Law made the rule absolute for the
discharge.

IN RE JOHN HENRY CROMWELL RUSSELL.
This insolvent had been connected with a railway.
The case was partially heard before, and now occupied
the whole of the day.
The further hearing was adjourned to the Ist Feb.

Lord Alfred Paget, appointed Chief-Equerry to her

the adherents of the Anson and Anglesey families, were
the only persons who had apparently any concern in the
matter. The inhabitants of the city did not appear to
know that an election was going forward.

AUSTRIA.

The Triest Zeitung, of the 31st December, con-
tains the following news :—" Prince Daniel has re-
turned to Szabljak, in the neighbourhood of which
fort all points of strategic importance are to be for-
tified. The truce has been broken by both parties,
and skirmishes continually take place. 2,700
armed men have joined the Montenegrines from
the Herzegowina. A battery had been erected on
a promontory called Kerba, which overlooks the
Lake of Scutari, and just at this point the Turks
attempted to effect a landing, but were repulsed,
leaving 600 dead behind them. The loss of life on
the part of the Montenegrines was also serious.
George Petrovich, Prince Daniel's uncle, is about
to undertake a journey to this capital and St.
Petersburg."
The reports of the Triest Zeitung must be re-
ceived with caution, as that organ of the press is
evidently hostile to Turkey.

PIEDMONT.

A letter from Turin states that all the Jews who

had been allowed to fill public situations in conse-
quence of the spirit of tolerance of the late consti-
tution, have been ordered either to change their
religion or to resign. The majority of them, it is
said, appear inclined to adopt the latter alternative.
