READING ELECTION.

The nomination took place yesterday in the Town
Hall. The Mayor (Mr. Thomas Harris) presided.
Mr. Sanstort proposed Mr. Bowyer.
Mr. 11. F. LETCRWORTU seconded the nomination.
Mr. BOWYER said he appeared before them to ask
their suffrages, not as a nominee of any party, but as
the representative and exponent of those great principles
of national Improvement and progress which were main-
tained by the Liberal constituency of the borough. He
had nut been nominated by any strange Member of Par-
liament at any meeting, but had come forward as there
was no Liberal candidate in the field. He had a deep
interest at stake in the county, and, therefore, might
probably be a more safe representative of the borough
than any stranger.
Mr. H. SimoNns proposed Mr. Standford.
Mr. HODGES seconded the nomination.
Mr. STANFORD was for maintaining that monarchicaln
system of government under which the greatest
of practical and rational liberty existed.

spent twelve years in them, and was satisfied that good
government would do away with the necessity of an
armed force for their protection. He was opposed to
the geme-laws.
Mr. U. MNE nominated Sir John Hare.
Mr. W. HONE seconded the nomination.
Sir Joint HARE was for an extension of the franchise

" Bulletin Extraordinary from the superior Govern-
meat of Navarre. (Circular 35.)
" His Excellency the General commanding in second
in this province has sent sme the following dispatch,
dated this day:--
`° llis Excellency the Captain-General of these pro-
vinces informs me, by a dispatch dated yesterday, that
the faction ot Itermundi, which the troops attacked yes-
terday at the Solano, was routed, and that the same has
been intimated to him in a dispatch which he has just
received from Colonel Louis Maria Serraux, who has
been entrusted with the pursuit of that column. The
result has been sixteen prisoners, among them some
officers; ten dead on the field of battle, a great quantity
of arms and ammunition, and two horses belonging to
the leaders. These are the advantages gained by the
troops of the Queen. I transmit the account of them to
you, in order that, after having informed yourself ot it,
you may make it the subject of an extreordinary bulletin
tor the satisfaction of the inhabitants of this province.

122, and afterwards filed the conseque,,t,,,, erfee-,vit.
Nash then attempted to dispose of 4,900/. of hoi_s.
which were in warehouse, to Messrs. Barclay, the
brewers, for the purpose of paying off this claim of
2,0001., but was estopped by Henry Gurney, on the
grot.nd that the partnership property could cot be
bold without his consent. Tim sale was therefore ren
dere d nugatory, as was also a second attempt to sell them
afterwards made by Nash. On the 29th of January Nash
attended before the Court of Bankruptcy, and alleged
the foregoing facts as a leas= why he ought not to be
pressed with the claims of the Gurneys, but on the 7th
of February, the present fiat in bankruptcy was issued
Against him at the instigation of Thomas Gurney in re-
spect of his debt of 5381. 12s. 60. Nash then presented
a petition to Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to have the
fiat annulled, on the ground that he had been prevent( d
from realizing the partnership assets to meet these
claims, and therefore that the steps taken under the
Bankrupt Act could not be considered as beneficial to the
general body of creditors. • The Vice-Chancellor, how•
ever, was of opinion that no collusion had been made
out to the injury of the creditors, and dismissed
the petition without costs. From this decision Nash
appealed to the Lord Chancellor, who now gave
ludgtaent upon that appeal. His Lordship, after going
at some considerable length into the case, stated his
Opinion clearly to be, that the Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce had come to a right conclusion, and ordered the
appeal to be dismissed; the costs to come out of the
estate.
His Lordship then proceeded to hear the unopposed
lunatic petitions on his paper, and having disposed of
the whole of them, the arguments were resumed on the
part heard case of " Willey v. the South-Eastern Rail-
Way Company," and occupied the Court the whole
morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY•)

(Before the VICE CHANCELLOR of England.)
His Honour heard unopposed cause petitions, short
causes, and cause petitions to-day, but no case call-
ing for a special report came before the court during
the day.

(Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
ilia Honour heard cause petitions and causes to-day,
but nothing of any interest recurred during the morning.
(Before the Vicc-Chineellur IGRAM.)
WEBSTER V. BRAY.—JUDGMENT.
His HONOUR gave judgment to day in this case, pre-
ferring it to the Master to take an account, and giving
liberty to state special circumstanc,,s.

LOADER V. CLARK—JUDGMENT.
His HoNoun also gave judgment in this case, which
Was heard befure him some short time since. The
facts of the case into which his Honour went at consi-
derable length, may be thus shortly stated. In 1827,
five days only before the plaintiff's marriage, a sum of
2501. stock, belonging to the lady, was b‘ her trans-
ferred into the joint mimes of herself and her father
and brother. The transf, r was not communicated to
the plaintiff, but came to his knowledge some time after
the solemniz aka of the marriage. Ho, however.
afterwards acquiesced in the payment of the dividends
to his wife till her death in 1843. Upon her death the
Plaintiff demanded a trenefer from the surviving
trustees, by whom a parol settlement was set
1213 in favour of the children of the mar-
riage. The bill was tiled in 1847 tor a transfer
of the fund to the phintiff. His Honour dismissed the
13i11 with costs, as tar as it regarded the infants in the
cause, and without costs with respect to the other parties.
lbs Honour, at the conclusion of the judgment,
observed that he believed he had now disposed of all the
cases which had come before him, which were waiting
for judgment.
The Court then proceeded to hear motions.
London, England, 1849-02-09

CALL OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. GRATTAN did not know aheth&r her Majesty's
Ministers would object to the motion which he was about
to make.—(Laughter) He was convinced it would be a
vt.ry salutary proceeding to call all the Members of the
House to their plac.3s. If it were objected that the time
vas too short to allow of members attending te-mdil ow,
;hen let the second reading of the Bill for suspending
the Habeas Corpus Act bo postponed. He understood
the Bill was not yet printed, and had been told that
it was not the practice to print bills till after the second
reading. He would suggest that the practice should be
altered. It was said that this was a mitigated measure
to the one passed last year. How;.were lion. Members
to know that, unless they had an opportunity of com-
paring one Bill with the other? No less than 55 Irish
Members were absent when the division took place on
the Bill of last year. He therefore now begged to move
that the House be called over en Friday next (this day)
Mr. J. O'CON NEIL seconded the motion.

Lord J. RUSSELL did not think it probable that
those Irish Members who were absent in Ireland would
obtain information sufficiently early to enable them to
appear in their places tomorrow.—(A laugh.) He did
not e3nceive that any cause existed for callinc, over the
House. There was a sufficient attendance of Members
for the consideration of the Bill, which stood fur a se-
cond reading; and if any Members now absent had
been anxious to attend, ample notice was given of the
intention of bringing in the measate for them to have
been in their places.

Mr. J. O'CONNELL asked when the Bill would be
printed. •

Lord J. RUSSELL—It will be in the hands of
Members to-morrow. It is the same Bill as that of
last year.
The motion was then put, and negatived without a
di►ision.

In answer to a question from Mr. P. SCROPE,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Bill for the suspen.
sion of the Habeas Corpus Act being a measure of great
importance, ought to be proceeded with without delay;
he therefore proposed making the second reading of
that Bill the first order of the day for tomorrow. If
the debate should end at an early period of the evening,
he would then proceed with the adjourned debate on the
vote for Irish distress; but he would not bring on that:
debate at a late hour.

The report on the motion of supply was brought up.
The House then adjourned.

FRANCE.

The Serviles have thrown off the mask, and Legi-
timatists, Orleanists, and Bonapartists, openly avow
their coalition for producing a counter-revolution.
They have resolved to form an Electoral Committee
in Paris, to be composed of 30 members, to direct the
ensuing elections. Count Mole has consented to act
as President, and MM. Thiers and Berryer a 3 Vice-
Presidents. Five Bonapartists are to be admitted
into the Committee ; the remaining 25 are to be com-
posed of Legitimists and the friends of the Regency.
It has been agreed on by the chiefs of these parties
that any candidate approved of by the committee
shall obtain all the votes the united parties can influ-
ence.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
WOOLF v THE CITY STEAM-BOAT COMPANY. Thld Was an action to recover compensation fcrinju-
ries sustained by the plaintiff through the negligence of
defendants' servants. The damara were laid at 1001.
lir. IlAwßirts, the plaintiff's counsel, said that in
consequence of the absence of the counsel on the other
8!"e, it had been agreed that the case should be adjourned
till Friday next.

BELL V, DAVIS.
of The plaintiff in this action sued as the public officer
National and Provincial Bank of England, to re-
cover of the defendant, a gentleman residing at Stale-
bridge, the sum of 5001, cn a guarantee for monies ad-
Yanced by the company to defendant's son.
Mr. Roberts, the manager of the Sturminster Branch
Bank, proved that the balance was 5371. 15s. 2d. Thejury gave a verdict for 5001.

ANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Belore Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN,)
IN RE FORSRALL.
This bankrupt, who had been a surgeon at Dodding-
ton-grove, Surrey, was brought up in custody eu his
aPplication to be discharged.
The bankrupt had been two years in prison, his last
examination having been adjourned sine die in conse-
quence of no accounts having been filed.
His discharge was opposed by the detaining creditors,
and the question was raised as to whether the bankrupt
Was entitled to his discharge until he had filed his
accounts.
The bankrupt, on being sworn, said the delay had been
Occasioned partly from illness and partly from want of
fisurlds, as he had not received any allowance. He was
'ankrupt and insolvent before.
a; ins HONOUR thought the bankrupt ought to be now
;',Lscharged to enable him to pass his examination; but
he did not tile saesfactory accounts, the detaining
creditors' rights would revive.

4A RLBRO'-ST REET— (THIS DAY.)
John Williams, a sturdy young fellow, was brought
before Mr. Hardwick, charged with begging.
Webb, a mendicity constable, stated that this morn-
ing, shortly after ten o'clock, he saw the prisoner go up
r several ladies, and in an importunate manner demand
to be relieved with money. Knowing the prisoner to be
old and determined beggar, witness went up and took
ofra into custody.
to the prisoner stoutly denied the officet's assertion, and
mi_cl he was on his way to Bristol, his native place, when
`ue officer came up and " lagged" him off to the station.
t Webb said the prisoner had been convicted several
ges at various police courts. He (the prisoner) was an
doa hand at the ornamental-writing-on-the-pavement
b„ ge• Ho was also an adept in the soap line, that is
shamming fits in the street, having i.reviously put
14roPive.e.of soap in his mouth to give grower effect to his
PoSltion.

Mr. HARDwtori, upon healing this, immediately coin-
the prisoner for a month, with hard labour.

PRUSSIA.

The result of the elections for the second Chamber
is in favour of the democratic party. Of the 350
Members of whom the Chamber is composed, 200 are
known to be determined opponents of the reactionary
Ministers. WALDECK, one of the newly elected
Members for Berlin, in alluding to the charges of
anarchical designs which had been brought against
him by the reactionary party, said, " Anarchy only
exists in the brains of those who do not like the looks
of free men. They are dainty—your reactionaries ;
they must have smiling rosy cheeks and well-trimmed
beards, French varnish-glazed gloves, and lisping
tongues. They faint at the rough aspect of bare and
brawny arms, stern eyes, at pale hunger pallid
cheeks, and at the thrilling thundering voices for li-
berty and equality which are our conquest, and shall
be the birthright of our children's children. All are
anarchists who do not jump into the gutter to let the
reactionaries pass—all are anarchists who insist upon
the full enjoyment of those liberties wl2lich are the
fruits of our March triumphs."
One of the first acts of the majority of the Second
Chamber will probably be, to protest against the
octroyee constitution, and to demand the immediate
suppression of the First Chamber. The National,
the organ of the Moderate Democrats, thus speaks of
the composition of the First Chamber :
The First Chamber springs from electors paying a
census, but not the second. Through this census three-
fourths of the electors are excluded from their electoral
rights. Property from its very nature excites envy,
jeal .usy, distrust, and even hatred towards those possess-
ing it, on the part of those who are without property.
or less well off in the world. These sentiments are called
forth in a much higher degree when privation or restric•
tion of important political rights result from restricted
fortune. Consequently the distrust entertained by the
majority of the nation against the uraiihler,' and more
still against the 4%M:dm:Aimee (direct electors) for the
First Chamber, must, of course, be applied with propor-
tionate increase to representatives chosen in virtue of a
census; that is to say, want of confidence in the First
Chamber everywhere prevails, ere yet this Chamber
really exists." _ _ _

Berlin was perfectly tranquil when the last accounts
left.

FRANKFORT.

In the sitttng of the German Parliament, on the
sth, TEMME. the new Member for Munster (who
had been imprisoned by the Prussian Government for
his vote in the Prussian Diet refusing taxes) took his
seat. He was introduced by SIMON, of Breslau, and
was received with loud cheering by the Members of
the Left. The Parliament then proceeded to the
election of President andVice-President for the month.

The result of the election was, that Su+Box re-
mained President with 261 out of 395 votes, BE
SELER remained Ist Vice-President with 240 out o
397 votes, KIRCBGESSNER remained 2d Vice• Pres-
ident, with 270 out of 329 votes.

BAVARIA.

The Address just voted by the second Chamber of
the States of Bavaria, in answer to the speech from
the Throne, speaks with great energy in favour of
the unity of Germany, and against the separatist
tendencies attributed to the Bavarian Government.
The Chamber declares that the unity of Germany
ought to be founded, not only upon institu-
tions common to all the States, and which
shall guarantee the freedom of all the people, but
also on a Constitution, which shall combine in an
indissoluble manner all the German tribes, without
exception, in one strong and respected Confedera-
tion. It adds that it is only by conforming
freely and unreservedly with the new spirit
which exists in all classes of society, and sub-
mitting implicitly to the resolutions of the Ger-
man Assembly, anti the central Government, that
lasting tranquillity and prosperity can be secured to
the German people. Finally, it recognises the vali-
dity of the law on fundamental rights adopted by
the National Assembly. As regards Bavaria, the
Chamber demands a really tesponsible Ministry, the
out of the representative system in all the
cb ar rn3c, '
n e g 1
o f t m e
I le, and,.a liberal organiza-
tinn of the communes. e irst Chamber has
adopted an address to the same effect.

PRUSSIA.

The election of Members of the Second Chamber
took place at Berlin on the sth. The result was fa-
vourable to the Opposition party, six of their caidi-
dates having been chosen ; three of them were each
elected in two districts. The names of the Deputies
nominated are—M. Waldeck, M. Behrend, M. Rod-
bertus, M. Jacoby, M. Temme, and M. Philips. The
number of Deputies for Berlin is nine ; in conse-
quence of the double election of three of the above
names, three new elections will have to be made.

Several Prussian journals, of the 3d, state that the
Ambassadors of Russia and Austria have received
instructions to demand their passports in the event of
the King of Prussia accepting the Imperial crown;
and a Berlin letter, of the same date, says, on what
it represents to be good authority, that the English
Ambassador has received orders to protest formally if
that eventuality should occur.
The Qerman Reform of Berlin, of the 3d, says,
that the state of siege will not be raised until after
the adoption by the new Chamber of laws on the
right of association and the liberty of the press.
In consequence of protests made by different elec-
toral meetings against the expulsion from Berlin of
M. Rodbertus, General Wrangel has consented to
allow him to return to that city.

early opportunity of putting a question with reference

TURKEY.

The French Siecle publishes the following:--« w
have received, by way of Germany, accounts from
Turkey to the 27th ult., three days later than those
brought by the Tancrede. This news has produced a
very great sensation at Vienna, where it was known
on the Bth, as it states, that not only has France and
England assured the Porte of their support, but
that these. Powers excite the SULTAN to seize on
this opportunity to rid himself of the suzerainty
claimed by Russia in the East. Without taking
to the letter the word excite, we can affirm, on
good information, that the attitude assumed
by the two great liberal nations has produced an
immense effect in the Ottoman Empire. As to the
Danubian provinces, they perhaps give themselves up
to exaggerated hopes on the subject. The Turkish
troops have met with an enthusiastic reception at
Jassy, and that feeling was redoubled when the
General announced that the SULTAN, in gratitude
for the conduct of his Moldo-Wallachian subjects,
would shortly withdraw the corps of observation, and
invite Russia to recal her troops. The political
question takes the lead over the religious one in the
East, and Russia thus sees the lever broken which

allowed her to agitate in Turkey by creating motives
for intervention."

The Wanderer of Vienna prilies the following
from Constantinople of the .c27til u't. :—" A letter
hr.s been received from FUAD EFFENDI, dated St.
Petersburgh, in which he says,--' From the first
conference I have had with Count NESSELRGDE, re-
lative to the refugees, I think that the Emperor of
RUSSIA will not insist on the extradition of the re-
fugees, and that this affair cannot compromise Euro-
pean peace.'"

ITALY.

In its sittings of the Bth, the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin confirmed the election of Advocate DANIEL
MANIN at Genoa. The Legge observes, that MANIN
not being naturalised, the Chamber ought not to have
confirmed the election.

The new Piedmontese Minister of War, ALFONSO
DELLA MARMORA, has addressed a proclamation to
the soldiers, in which, after praising their valour and
fidelity to the KING and the constitution, he promises
to consider carefully the existing laws concerning the
army, with a view to their improvement.
Three deputations, which had proceeded from Rome
to the POPE, to entreat him to return to that city,
returned home on the 4th. They were most gra-
ciously received by Pius IX., who said to them that
in all probability it would not be long before he
returned to his States, but that he had not yet fixed
the period of his arrival. The ex-Ministers, LUNATI
and Rossr, who had received an order of exile, have
obtained leave to return to their homes.

The Legge of Turin publishes a letter from Rome
of the 3d, positively announcing that Pius IX. will
very shortly return to Rome with M. DE CORCELLES,
on the declaration of the latter that the capital is
in a state of perfect tranquillity. The correspondent
says that this news has been brought by MM. BOULA-
TIGNIER and FREMY. The POPE had given a very
favourable reception to the deputation from Rome
which had waited upon him at Portici.
The Giornale di Roma of the 3d publishes a de-
cree of the King of NAPLES, dated 21st ult., fixing
the conditions required of teachers for the exercise
of their profession. By this decree all persons
desirous of teaching a science, either in Echools or
privately, must be provided with a royal permis-
sion and a certificate of authorisation from the
university. They are to pass an examination in
writing on the Christian catechism before the faculty
of theology, in the presence of the Bishops. Any
one desirous of teaching only reading and writing is
to have a certificate of study for literature, and pass

the examination on the catechism. Teachers of
either sex are to be at least 28 years of age. Teachers
of fine arts and foreign languages are subjected to
the same rules and obliged to pass an examination in
the art and language they profess to teach. The
religious corporations authorised to teach, and the
teachers in ecclesiastical seminaries, are exempted
from the above decree. All permissions hitherto
granted are revoked.
