BELFAST.

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock.
The scrutiny was then proceeded with. The vote of Arthur Kent
was objected to on the part of the petitioners, on the ground of insuffi-
ciency of value. He was registered in 1836 as a 101. householder, but
his landlord was called, and stated that he paid but iii. rent, and in the
police valuation the premises were rated at 81.

Several witnesses were examinedb;lllr2l;oLLocx in support of the
vote, who swore that the premises were worth more than 101.
It was then proposed by Mr. Pollock to examine Kent himself, but
Mr. Whiteside objected to his being called, as he could only be ex-
amined against, and not in support of the vote. This had been re.
peatedly decided in the Longford case. •

Mr. l'oLLocit contended that it was the practice both in England ant
Ireland to examine voters with respect to their own qualification. 11,
need only refer to the case of Joseph Hurnby, in the New Sarum elec.
tion case tried in 1834, and reported in Cockburne and Rowe, as esta-
blishing the practice.

_ .
Mr. WHITESIDE referred to Rogers, p. 126, an opinion founded on all
pertinent cases, in support of the contrary view. The Bedford, Ciren-
cester, and Weymouth cases were also cited by the Learned Gentleman,
■s showing what was the real practice in such cases. In Knaggs
and Oinbler, in tho Rochester case, the last upon the subject, it
was held that a ♦oter could not be examined in support of his
own ♦ote. His Learned Friend (Mr. Pollock) happened to be
Counsel in that ease, and was powerful in his argument against
the admission of the evidence, as being contrary to all precedent
and practice. The worst evidence that could be given was that of the
eater.

Mr. Potaxes. was heard at considerable length in reply.
The Committee then withdrew, and after a few minutes' deliberation,
decided against admitting the voter's evidence.
The vote was finally struck off:

The countryman named Arthur Tucker, who was apprehended on the
3th inst., by Capes, the Queca's officer, attempting to force himself into
Buckingham Palace, was bailed out by his brother and another indi-
vidual, who entered into sureties of 100 d. each for his future good be.
haviour. Tke poor man has since his apprehension been confined in
TothillAelds prison, and his conduct there has been such as to leave no
doubt on the minds of the medical attendants of his insanity,

by another PeopriCtor, the Chairman said the suggcs tion
should not escape the attention of the Directors.
The CHAIRMAN then stated, that four of the Directors :Sad
not taken advantage of the provisions of the Act, to officiate as
Directors, viz., 'Mr. Pearson, Mr. Hardman Earle, Mr.
Rowlee, and Mr. Warre. The body of Directors had not
filled up these vacancies, as they were entitled to do, being of
opinion, that there was .i sufficient-nun:her for the purposes of
the Directory. The Chairman said he bad received a com-
munication from the body of the Liverpool proprietors, re-
questing that a gentleman from that town should be appointed
in the room of Mr. Earle ; upon which Mr. Edward Wilson
was nominated and appointed. Mr. Cooke, Mr. Iloulds-
worth, Mr. Calvert, and Mr. Thomas Lowe, the four retiring
Directors, were re-appointed ; so that the number of Directors
is only 21 instead of 24.
S FIN DA Y TRA VELLIN G. —Tbe ordinary business having been
completed, Mr. Sturge was called upon to proceed with the
subject of his notice ; but the Chairman said, that as there
would be a scrutiny of votes, it would probably be better to
appoint two scrutineers ; when Daniel Ledsam, Esq., was
named by Mr. Sturge, and Mr. S. Carter for the opposing
party. It would be impossible, from the late hour last even-
ing at which the business closed, to give even an outline of
the arguments which were used on both sides on this impor-
tant question. air
Mr. STERGE moved the following resolution :
" That the Company's engines and carriages do not run
on the Sabbath day, fro n the time of the opening of the Bir-
mingham end of the Railway, till the General Meeting in Fe-
bruary, 1839."
This was seconded by Mr. HADFIELD.
Mr. HOULDSM'OICFII then moved as an amendment—
" That the business of the Railway should be suspended on
Sundays, except for such restricted conveyance of passengers
as seemed called for on the ground of public necessity; and
that the Directors, to whom is hereby confided the duty of
defining the extent and particulars of such restrictions, shall
take, as their guide in discharging that duty, the considera-
tion of the public good, and not the private interests of the
Company."
The amendment having been seconded, the Meeting was
addressed by Mr. Parsons, Mr. Garnett, Mr. Coghlan, ,Mr.
Earle, Mr. William Boalton, &e., at very considerable length.
On a division there were for the amendment 7,436, for the
original motion 3,62l.—Majority 3,865.
Amongst the gentlemen who supported Mr. Sturge's mo-
tion, we noticed F. Lcdsam, Esq., Daniel Ledsam, Esq.,.W.
Chance Esq., W. Phipeon, Esq., D. Ledsam, jun., Rev. T.
East, William Lowe, Mr. Joseph Walker, Mr. Joseph Gib-
bini, Mr. T. Southall, Mr. W: Bolton, &c.
The other business of the day having been gone through,
the Meeting separated about five o'clock.

BOW-STREET.--(TIIIS DAY.)

William La Roche, describing himself as an accountant, re-
shing in the Albany Road, Camberwell, was charged by Mrs
Jane Tate. the wife of a postman, with indecently assaultingh er
under the following circumstances :
It appeared from the statement of the complainant, who
seemed in a delicate state of hrsalth, that she was proceeding
along the Strand, last evening, at half past six o'clock, accom-
panied
by her sue, when the defendant came behind and pinched
her:reost severely in a delicate part of her person. Before he
came up to her, she saw him assault an elderly lady in a similar
manner, end the offence was not committed through the effects
of intoxication, as be was in his sober senses at the time.
Police Constable Manton, 143 F division, proved that be
was informed by a person who happened to be passing, of the
circumstance, and on turning round to have the defendant
pointed out to him—he saw him behave in the most scandalous
manner to three other females of respectable appearance.
The defendant declared that he was too respectable a man
to conduct himself in the mariner described, being a married
man, and the father of nine children, but as the lady hap-
pened to have been pushed against him by the crowd, she was
under the impression that he had assaulted her.
Dr. RoniNsoN, a country Magistrate, reminded the defen-
dant that he had acted in an unmanly way towards other
females, who perhaps felt a delicacy in coming forward. He
felt it necessary to make an example of any person capable of
such vagabond conduct, but he would spare the complainant
the pain of appearing at the Sessions by calling upon him to
pay a fine of M., and in default be committed to hard labour
for two months.

•
To THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.
GENTLEMEN,
CIRCUMSTANCES occur which lay me under
the necessity of troubling you with remark.
Intimations have been given in printed papers, that Mr. Ewart
was the first Reformer that offered for Marylebone. In addition to
the public fact of my being among the proposed at the last election,
Mr. Ewart called upon me about the beginning of the year, and
asked me if I intended to stand. I answered " Yes, I was in the
field since last election, and was pledged to my friends." He re-
plied, " Oh, then, perhaps, I ought not to have spoken to you."
You have been informed of the way in which, after being invited
by name in advertisement in the newspapers, to attend a public
meeting in the New-road, for the professed purpose of determining
which of the Reform Candidates should give way, I was turned out
of the Committee-room in the presence of Mr. Ewart and Mr.
Home, on the assurance that it was not a public meeting, and that
I was not invited,
I think Mr. Hume should contradict the report in the Morning
Chronicle, that as soon as I and my friends were gone, he took the
Chair, and said, " Ile hoped all parties would be fairly and impar-

tially heard."
'i he proposal for any arrangement as to which candidate should
withdraw has been always resisted by Mr. Ewart's friends, except
under circumstances to which no men, with an ordinary sense of
sets-respeet, could be expected to accede.
If I had presented myself in Liverpool, in Middlesex, or in Kil-
kenny, under all the circumstances that have occurred in Maryle-
hone, 1 can anticipate the advice that would be poured upon me
from all quarters, and the breathless haste with which I should
rush to put it into execution.
Gentlemen, the Meeting in the New-Road leaves us no option
except between resistance and being parties to our own wrong.
I have pledged myself to go to the poll under all circumstances, in
a way which no man can retract. The money for the expenses
is in the hands of a well-known friend; and if I die before the
election, I bequeath it to him with a request that he will use it to
go to the poll in my stead.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.
13, Hanover-terrace, Regent's-park, 24th Feb. 1838.

BELFAST.

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, when the Chair.
man announced that they had decided that the ♦ote of Doble, which
was under consideration when they adjourned yesterday, should be
struck off the poll.
An arrangement was entered into between Counsel on both sides to
admit that Mrs. Harriet Joy, sister of the Chief Baron of the Irish Court
of Exchequer, who was named an annuitant for SOO& a year in a
deed affecting the property of Mr. Dunbar was still alive. The object
of the arrangement was, to enable Mr. Joy of the Irish bar, who was in
attendance to prove the fact, to leave town to attend his circuit.
The vote of Hugh Dunning, which belonged to the same class of ob-
jections, was then struck off.

- In the case of Edward Cochran, three witnesses swore that th• pre-
mises were worth more than 91.

William Flood, one of the police valuators of Belfast, was then
called by Mr. Whiteside, and stated that the highest ♦alue of the pre-
mises was 91.

On witness's cross-examination, by Mr. Andrews, he admitted that
if the police-books were given in evidence in any Court, and the Court
would rely on them, it would deceive them, without an explanationbeing
given as to the principle on which the valuation was made, which was
this. They generally rated the houses at a pound or two less than their
real value, and moreover they could not tell the real value as they
valued the premises from the outside appearance.

In reply to a Member of the Committee the witness stated that he
had been in town since Tuesday last, and had been in attendance on the
Committee, but had not been examined.

The Committee appeared somewhat surprised that the witness should
not have been produced before, to give the same explanations with re-
gard to the police books which had bees now obtained on his cross.
examination by Mr. Andrews. His testimony would have been most
important to the sitting Member, as the police books have been made
in almost every instance the test of value with the Committee.
The vote was struck off.

HIGHLY VALUABLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT in OX-

FORD-STREET, including SANDELL'S CELEBRATED
BREWERY, the EXTENSIVE BEDDING WARE-
HOUSES, PRIVATE RESIDENCE, and Property adjoining,
altogether a prospective RENTAL of ONE THOUSAND
POUNDS A-YEAR.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTON,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, March 29, at
Twelve, in Five Lots, by direction of the Executors and True.
ten for Sale of Samuel Sandell, Esq., lately deceased ;
A FREEHOLD INVESTMENT of CON-
SIDERABLE IMPORTANCE,
and with prospective views that will appear exceedingly encouraging
to the Capitalist who would

INVEST IN PERFECT SECURITY.
A portion sif this eligible Estate may be assimilated to

FREEHOLD GROUND RENTS;
the remainder is subject to short leases at very inadequate rents.
It comprehends, first,
SANDELL'S SPACIOUS BREWERY,
presenting a building admirably adapted to carry on a large and
profitable trade, and which during a lengthened period has con-
tinued its high character with the public. The stores are
abundant, and all the offices of the best description. Stabling for
14 horses, and every convenience for an extended trade. Adjoining is
THE EXCELLENT FAMILY ABODE,
adapted to a family of respectability ; also warehouses and a shop,
occupied by Mr. Vago and Mr. Jameson, included in the lease of
the brewery, demised for 14 years, at 400/. a year. Also
THE EXTENSIVE UPHOLSTERY AND
BEDDING WAREHOUSE ADJOINING.
This property may be assimilated to a freehold ground rent,
of 100 guineas a year. Also a capital Private 'Residence and
Offices, No. 10, in Oxford-street, on lease to Mr. Bell until 1845,
when the rent will be augmented. Again,
A FREEHOLD GROUND RENT OF SIXTY POUNDS,
ARISING OUT OF
THE EXTENSIVE DEPOSITORY FOR CHINA GLASS,
No. g, OXFORD-STREET,
let on a building lease for a tern of which 56 years are unexpired, at
a ground-rent of 60/. year • also in Hanway-street two excellent
and conspicuous Shops, ands. Residence, No. 7, occupied by Mr.
Rees, on al7 years' lease, at an inadequate rent of 841. The pre-
sent clear rental of the whole is 644/. a-year. The annual value
would be moderately estimated at
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR.

It may be well to observe, by way of corroboration, that on grant-
ing the lease of the brewery in 1821,
TWELVE THOUSAND POUNDS WAS PAID FOR THE

GOOD-WILL OF THE BREWERY AND THE PLANT.
The Estates may be viewed by the kind permission of the several
tenants, and only front twelve to two o'clock.

TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.

GENTLEMEX,
FNCOURAGED by the spontaneous call of a
eonsiderable number of the Electors of Marylebone to fill
the vacancy which has occurred in the Representation of your Bo
rough, I do not hesitate to respond to so flattering a proposal, and
to become a CANDIDATE for the honour of your suffrag-s. To
be thus invited by any portion of se powerful, enlightened, and
liberal a Constituency, I consider, in itself, a great distinction.
The favour which has been shown me on this occasion I can only
attribute to my strenuous support in Parliament of the principles
of civil and religious freedom, and of political, legal, and commercial
Reform.

The Vote by Ballot—the Extension of the Suffrage—the frequent
Responsibility of Parliament to the nation—the General Education,
and Free Admission of the People to our National Institutions—the
Mitigation of the Criminal Code—and the Repeal of the Corn Laws,
have been the subject of my individual efforts, as well as of my votes.
I have also steadily supported the Repeal of the Window Tax, s•
oppressively felt by the inhabitants of towns.
lam favourable to those sound principles of Poor-law Adminis-
tration which have prevailed in your own, and in the best regulated
parishes in the kingdom. But while I support every Legislative
measure which may encourage the freedom and independence of the
labourer, I am not pledged to a blind defence of the Machinery and
details of the Poor-law Amendment Act ; and I deprecate its ex-
tension to parishes like your own, whose magnitude, intelligence,
and existing system of representation, offer, an abundant security
for the proper local management of their own affairs.
Whatever be the issue of the impending contest, I earnestly hope
that unity of purpose, as well as zeal and vigour, will characterise
the proceedings of Reformers, and ensure the triumph of their cause.
Cheered by the liberal support of many unsolicited and unex-
pected friends, I shall strenuously engage in the contest, and endea-
vour to conduct it with the energy, firmness, and good temper
which ought always to be combined on sach occasions.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most bedient Servant,
WILLIAM EWART.

YOUGHAL.

The Committee met this day at one o'clock, dencral Lygon In the
Chair.

Mr. THRBSIGEII (In the absence of Mr. Pollock) opened the case for
the petition. The numbers, at the close of the poll, at the late election
for Youghal, were—for Mr. Howard, the sitting Member, 158, and
for Mr. Nichol, the petitioner, 130 ; giving the former a majority
of only eight. That majority he (Mr. T.) should have no difficulty in
reducing, so as to turn the scale in favour of Mr. Nichol, for he could
show that at least nine of Mr. Howard's voters were disqualified, by
change of residence since th. registration. He had also a
clear case of bribery, into which he would not go, if he suc-
ceeded in seating his client without that. He understood that
it would be attempted on the other side to strike off some of Mr. Ni.
ehol's votes, on the ground that certain freemen who voted were dis-
franchised by the Reform Act. It would be necessary for his Learned
Friend for that purpose to open the registry, which he (Mr. Thessiger)
would not oppose.
The poll books were then put In and proved, Mr. TIMSSIGER observ-
ing that this was the only Irish case lie ever knew in which the poll.
books were not impugned.

vv
. -
Mr. HARRISON applied for a peremptory order upon the Mayor of
Youghal to produce the charter of the Corporation.
Mr. THESSIGER objected that the charter was not included in the
notice served upon the Mayor in the first instance, and therefore the
order could not now be granted.
London, England, 1838-02-24

TIIE STOCK EXCHANGE.

The late severe calamity has of necessity greatly augmented its
value, inasmuch as many of the respectable occupants of the Ex-
change have been but too happy to avail themselves of a first-rate
situation, approaching the scene of their recent source of profit ;
and to this may be added a most important feature, viz., the in-
tendAl extension of ground to be required for the completion of
A NEW AND SPLENDID EXCHANGE,
worthy of
THE GREAT METROPOLITAN CITY.
This will render the possession of Spread-Eagle Court quite in-
dispensable.
THE ESTATE INCLUDES FIVE HOUSES,
divided into an infinity of useful offices, of the value of

FITE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR.
In the list of respectable tenants stands conspicuous
Mr. LEMAN, of BISCUIT CELEBRITY;

he is the respectable Lessee for one of the houses, and a considera-
ble portion of the ground on which his ovens are placed.
Also, IN TWO LOTS,
A VERY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT,
consisting of two well-built houses, with shops, most favourably
situate, being
Nos. 2 and 3, BRIDGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS,
in close connection with the
IMMENSE THOROUGHFARE of FLEET-STREET,
and thereby partaking of the advantages derived from that street:
they are both remarkably well tenanted, and held upon Leases at a
rental capable of improvement. The small capitalist will in this
instance find a good opportunity to invest in perfect security.
Particulars, in due time, of Messrs. Bolton, Bell, and Merriman,
Austin-friars; the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden.
