MUNICIPAL REFORM.

In the little independent borough of Andover, four To-
ries quitted office on the Ist,' and stood for re-election.
They were opposed by the Reformers, and never has a
contest been carried forward with such determined spirit
on both sides, as was witnessed upon this occasion. The
Reformers obtained a most triumphant victory, having
won the whole number, viz.:—

MISERIES of the POOR in LONDON.
It is painful to turn our thoughts from the luxurious
living which obtains among the higher, and, to a great
Extent, among the middle classes of society, to the con-
templation el the miserable living which prevails among
the lower classes. Myriads of the latter grope and
grovel in families of from seven to fourteen, in mi-
serable hovels, many of them underneath the ground,
without grates, without glass windows, or indeed win-
dows of any kind ; the only light and air being admitted
through the horizontal door. Here, amidst damp and
filth, and without a breath of fresh air from one year's
end to the other, do whole families mess together as if
they were so many pigs. St. Giles's, the neighbour-
hood of Drury•lane, St. George's.io-the-Fields, and im-
mense districts in the eastern parts of the metropolis,
are among the localities in which these appalling scenes
are to be witnessed. And the wretchedness of the huts
or hovels to which I refer is greatly aggravated by the
deplorable destitution of the unhappy inmates as regards
food and clothing. The quantities of food on which
thousands of them subsist are incredibly small. Some-
times a whole family, consisting of
from five to ten in-
dividuals, are compelled to live (if living it can be called)
on an amount of food which would nc.it more thin suffice
for a hearty meal to a person possessing an ordary ap-
petite ; while, in the article of appaFel, they have
scarcely enough wherewith to cover their nakedness.—

THE MURDER AT ESCRICIE, NEAR YORK.--
Jonathan Taylor, the supposed murderer of his wife,
was examined at York on Wednesday last, when the
Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against him,
and he was committed to York Castle to take his trial a$

the ensuing Assizes.
The public are cautioned against parties who are
in the habit of putting advertisements in the country news-
papers, offering to supply the London newspapers it
such prices as must convince any person, who will take
the trouble to make the slightest calculation, that a fraud
is intended. It has very often happened, that peons
being tempted by the low prices named, have sent the
parties orders for papers, and, as desired by them, EIY:a

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The Monopolists are beginning to feel
themselves a morally beaten party. Some of the more
stupid of their number may sneer at this ; they do not
know what a moral beating means, and can feel no-
thin but a physical one. Notwithstanding, however,
their boasted majority, they are beginning to feel them•
selves beaten. They are giving ground ; the " No suri ce-
der" of his Grace of Buckingham bas rare echoes. Almost
all their scribes and speakers, while " swearing," like
Pistol, are preparing to " eat the leek." The Herald
of this morning, in an article which we extract else-
where, declares that with all " moderate men," the sub-
ject has now become a question of compromise. We
congratulate the moderate men of the Herald on this
conclusion ; but we consider the right to the epithet,
derived from their previous doctrines, as something of
the same kind with that of the master who addressed
his footman, " I think I have been a moderate good
master to you, John." Whereto the reply was,
Very moderate, Sir." The moderate men of the
Herald would not now for the world restrict or tax ma-
chinery. We are happy to hear it. The time is not
far back when they proclaimed the policy of doing both.
The moderate men of the Herald have an opinion
but moderate of the comforts enjoyed, for the most
part, in the manufacturing districts, amongst the work-
people. We are sorry to say, so have we. The vicis-
situdes in their condition, demonstrably produced by
restrictions on food more than any other cause (as w e
shall endeavour to show presently) preclude a comr-
ti on of steady comfort. The question is, whether ma-
chinery has caused their discomforts. Whether, with-
out machinery, they could have had what means of
comfort they have had. Whether machinery has not
enabled them to work for foreigners beyond the home-
market's demands. And whether it is machinery that
prevents foreigners giving them food for work I
STANDARD.—The Times has been so cruel as
to rob the ex-Ministerial party of their only English
grievance—a grievance upon which they have been feast-
ing for the last fortnight. This grievance is the appoint-
ment of Lord Heytesbury to the vacant Governorship
of the Ise of Wight, with a salary of fifteen hundred
pounds a-year. The appointment is not to be
disputed, but the Times shows, by an extract from
the patent of the Noble Governor, that the salary
is altog,ther a gratuitous addition of the Liberal
journals ; for Lord Hey tesbury is to derive no salary
from the dignity—not fifteen hundred pounds per
annum, not eves fifteen pence, in the shape of salary,
perquisite, or any other shape. When the grievance
was first brought forward the Liberal journals called
upon the public, in a fine tone of indignation, to receive
Lord Hey tesbury's appointment as a specimen of the
system of government pursued by Sir Robert Peel's ad-
ministration. We suppose that the specimen is equally
faithful, whatever quality it represents ; and we
therefore think that our Contemporaries, now that the
trnth is known, are called upon to render their ap-
plause as zealously to Sir Robert, for the surrender
of 1,500/. a year, as they directed their reproaches
against him when they erroneously believed that
he had retained it. For our own part, bo►:-
ever, we do not think that the case would have
been one for much blame if Lord Heytesbury
had been permitted to retain the salary with
the office of his predecessor. And though the
surrender of the salary is, on the part of the present Go-
vernment, a respectful and graceful concession to the
opinion of Parliament in the matter, we are very far from
subscribing to the soundness of that opinion. In a consti-
tution like ours the Government must avail itself of the
services of able men, not only in routine officers, but
in various other fields of exertions ; but the most able
men are not always rich men, and the question of re-
munerating those who have served the country not less
usefully because unofficially, must frequently present
itself. Remuneration by sinecure offices is, we are
disposed to think, the most economical on the whole,
because it fixes a limit, and because a sinecure office
usually carries an honorary distinction that greatly aug-
ments its money value, so as to make the actual payment
go far as a reward beyond its mere pecuniary amount.
COURIER.—The profound silence of the organs
of Whig-Radicalism on the subject of the municipal
elections that have just concluded, affords, when inter-
preted aright, a powerfully cutting commentary on the
diatribes with which they daily regale their readers con-
cerning the unpopularity of Sir R. Peel's Government,
and the foul influences upon which it depends for support,
and by which it had been carried into power. We do not
attach so much importance as some of our Contempo-
raries appear to have done, to the result of municipal
elections, believing that the decision of the bur-
gesses is in many cases liable to be swayed by
private and local considerations, and that the
elections often turn upon the chicane and dex-
terity of the parties connected with their manage-
ment ; but we never refused to receive the general
result, whether adverse or not to our own principles,
as a tolerably plain indication of the political opinions
that prevailed paramount in the cities and towns of.
England. We well recollect the burst of insolent joy
with which these elections were hailed five years age by
the prints in the service of the then Government, and
the fervour and earnestness with which they were dwelt
upon, as the most irrefragable proofs of the ascendancy
of Whig-Radical principles. Year after year have we
seen the triumphs and advantages then obtained by
the rampancy of faction gradually on the decline ;
the spirit of reaction was abroad, and was vastly
accelerated in its march, and influenced by the
jobbing, the profligate extravagance, and grasping,
greedy, selfishness of the new town councils. Each suc-
ceeding election witnessed a diminution in the Whig-
Radical elements that had upon their first formation
under the new regime entered so overwhelmingly large
into their composition, until the characters originally
impressed upon them have been nearly effaced, so that
instead of continuing, as they were, the citadels and
fortresses of the movement party, they have become
soundly and staunchly Conservative—a change as
galling to the opposition prints as cheering and grati-
fying to the friends of order and good government.

QUEENS BENCH—(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
PINKNEY V. BOOTH.
This action was tried before the Sheriff, and a verdict
was returned for the defendant. The particulars of the
case did not appear to-day, when
Mr. NEWTON moved for a rule to set aside the verdict
on the ground that it was received and entered by the
Sheriff in an illegal manner, and was, therefore null and
void. In the first place :(as we understood the argu-
ment), the trial was postponed by the Sheriff until a
day subsequent to the date, when the writ was
originaly made returnable ; and, in the second
place, the trial having come on, upon the last
day of the Sheriff's jurisdiction, the Jury retired
to co isider their verdict shortly before twelve o'clock at
night, and did not deliver their verdict until more than
an hour afterwards, when, the Learned Gentleman con-
tended, the writ and the authority of the Sheriff had ex-
pired. The verdict was, therefore, invalid and illegal.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked whether the plaintiff
objected at the time of the jury's retiring, or at all, before
their verdict was delivered ?
Mr. NEWTON replied in the negative ; but added, that
the protest against the verdict was handed to the Sheriff
immediately after the verdict was given in.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—The plaintiff took his
chance of a verdict in his favour, and thereby virtually
consented to the course pursued. In such a case the
Court will not interfere.—Rule refused.
HANDIER V. HAILES.
The defendants were in partnership as coach-makers
with a person named Heffer, and this action was brought
to recover the sum of 6801. upon a bill of exchange ac-
cepted by Helfer in the name of the co-partnership, and
endorsed by the plaintiff. It appeared that the father of
Hailes had (before the making of the bill by Heifer)
given a guarantee to Hanmer for the payment of
all sums advanced bona fide for the use of the firm.
Differences arose between the partnership, and the
Hailes denied that the monies advanced by Hanmer
through Helfer, were for the use of the partnership, and
the latter accordingly gave the bill in question to enable
the plaintiff to proceed, as he had been advised that he
could not, under the circumstances, maintain an action
upon the advances.
The Jury found for the plaintiff; but the Lord Chief
Justice, before whom the case was tried, reserved seve-
ral points.
Mr. ERLE now moved for a nonsuit on the points re-
served.
The LORD CHIEF JusTicE said all the facts of the
case were before the Court, and their Lordships would
take time to consider their decision, as the questions
involved were of considerable importance, commercial
and legal. Probably they would direct a special case to
be made ; and if so, the plaintiff could not object to join
with the defendants in agreeing to one.
REYNOLD'S V. MONKTON.
In this action, which was brought against the plaintiff
for an assault, alleged to have been committed in church,
by dragging the defendant out of a pew, the right to
which was disputed between': the parties, a verdict was
found for the plaintiff, with .71. damages,
Mr. ERLE moved for a rule to set the verdict aside, on
the ground that the defendant was justified in what he
had done, by his right to the pew.
The COURT did not think that any question of law
w,,as at issue, and as the facts were admitted, and the
damages were of so small an amount, their Lordships
would not interfere.—Rule refused.
WALKER V. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY.
In this case the ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained a rule
to show cause why a mandamus should not issue
to the Sheriff of Middlesex, calling on him to summon
a Jury to assess the amount of compensation to be paid
to the plaintiff by the befendants, for the deterioration
cf his property. The application was made by the 51st
section of the Company's Act of Incorporation. The
case had been already tried before the Sheriff, when the
plaintiff was nonsuited on account of the irregularity of
his notice served upon the Company. In that notice he
had included all his property situated in the neighbour-
hood of the Railway, whereas the clause under which he
claimed allowed compensation only fur property situated
within fifty feet of the Railway. A new assessment upon
an amended notice having been refused, a mandamus
was necessary.—Rule nisi granted.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
EWAN V. EVANS.

In this cause an action had been brought against the
defendant for breach of duty with respect to a certain
writ of execution entrusted 'to his charge against a per-
son of the name of Rawlins, a debtor of the plaintiff's.
The defendant pleaded that he had not taken the goods
in execution, nor levied unon them. The allegation
made by the plaintiff was tliat the defendant had made a
seizure, but had not levied thereon. The verdict passed
in favour of the defendant, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd
obtained last Term a rule to show cause why the verdict
should not be set aside, and a new trial had.

Mr. Segeant BOMPITS, for the defendant, now showed
cause, and stated that it was impossible for the Sheriff
to levy in this case, inasmuch as a digiress previously
issued had swept away the whole of the goods and
chattels of the debtor, leaving nothing whatever to sa-
tisfy• the plaintiff.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it had been decided in
the Queen's Bench, that where the Sheriff has several
writs against the same property be took the first. The
verdict must stand.—Rule dismissed accordingly.

THE EXCHEQUER BILL AFFAIR.
BOW-STREET.—Tula DAY.
Mr. B. Smith,, who has caused such an unenviable
notoriety, and who has: been in custody for some time
past, was to-day brought up from Tothill-fields Prison
to Bow-street Police-office.
After the night charges had been disposed of, Mr. Smith
was placed at•the bar, and the examination of witnesses
into the mysterious frauds and forgeries of Exchequer
bills was proceeded wi h, and was not concluded when we
went to press.

MUNICI PAL ELECTIONS
EDINBUR G 11.
GREAT TRIUMPH OF THE LIBERALS.

TUESDAY EVENING.—The annual election of Town--
Councillors for this city took place to-day. Only three
of the wards were contested by the Tories ; but in all
of them they were signally routed ; they did not succeed
in returning even one councillor !
The greatest contest lay in the sth ward, which, being
in the west end, is the aristocratic ward. Tories
have exclusively represented this ward during the
last seven years. There were four vacancies to 132
supplied this year ; and the Liberals were determined
to oppose the Tory candidates. The following is the
aggregate state of the poll at its close :
For Liberals 914
For the Tories
Majority --70
The announcement by the polling clerks was received
with deafening cheers. The Tories are greatly mortified
at this defeat.
The number of Councillors elected to-day were—

THE POLICE AND THE LICENSED VICTUAL-
LERS.—The licensed victuallers have for some time past
complained of the spy system and trickery in other re-
spects adopted by constables for the purpose of enabling
them to lay informations for alleged infractions of the
law. The Police Commissioners, who seem to be at last
convinced that the mode of proceeding usually adopted
should be discontinued, have sent to the superintendents
of the various divisions the following order, which has
been read over to the men on duty:—" The police, in
visiting public-houses are to wear their uniform; they
shall not make any attempt to disguise themselves, nor
are they to enter in any other way than by the regular
doors."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3.
IN THE MATTER OF TAYLOR, A LUNATIC.
This case came before the Court upon the petition ;of
Mr. Butt, one of the Solicitors of the Court, and who,
had acted as the solicitor of Mr. Taylor, the lunatic, in
several matters, praying that the Court would order the
payment of his bill of costs out of the estate of the
illunatic. The application was resisted on behalf of the
•next of kin and other parties, first on the ground that
Mr. Butt had no retainer ; and secondly, that even if he
,had;he.had acted for Mr. Taylor, under notice that he
was not of sound mind.

RAISING THE POSTAGE TO THREEPENCE.
—We are assured, on excellent authority, that the
Government have been making such inquiries regarding
the -tenny postage as clearly indicate that they are at
present considering and contemplating the raising of
the postage to threepence. To this we may add, as a
striking proof of the educational good issuing from the
eheap postage, a fact confirmed to us by abbenevolent
clergyman, who has made himself a benefactor to a large
manufacturing town by establishing schools. Shortly
after the Passing of the Act, fiftyfactory girls entered
one of the evening schools to learn to write, because, as
they said, letters are so cheap now."
MR. JUSTICE BOSANQUET.—It was currently
reported this morning in Westminster Hall, that in con-
sequence of continued indisposition, Mr. Justice Rosen-
quet would resign his seat in the Court of Cpzurnon
Pleas before the expiration of the present term. Mr.
Sergeant Goulburn, the Recorder (the Hon. Mg. Law),
and Mr. Sergeant Mereweather, are each mentioned as
likely to be elevated to the Bench when a vacancy occurs.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1841.

Mr. Burnaby—l know of my own knowledge that cer-
tain numbers which have been issued by Mr. Bapallo are
forgeries.
Ald. WitsoN—ro you mean to say that you believe
that all the bills issued by him, to the enormous amount
mentioned, are forgeries? Mr. Burnaby—By no means.
speak of certain numbers.
Mr. Lefroy (to Mr. Burnaby)--flow do you know that
the bills are forged instruments ? Mr. Burnaby—l de-
cline to answer the question in the present stage of the
proceedings except the Alderman desires to be informed.
Ald. WILSON—I wish to hear as much evidence as is
necessary to ;justify me in detaining the prisoner. I wish
to be informed, particularly on account of the public ex-
citement occasioned by the alarming transactions.
Mr. Burnaby—lt i!.; stated in the evidence given against
another person who is in custody, that the prisoner is im-
plicated. That evidence is given by persons not present.
Alderman WILSON—There is nothing in the statement
of the prisoner taken down by Mr. Burnaby that can
be called an admission that any one of the bills was a
forgery. If you produce a bill, and prove it to be a
forgery, and prove also that the prisoner issued it, then
there would be good reason for supposing that he knew
what sort of a bill it was, combining with that testimony
the facts alluded to in that statement.
Mr. Burnaby—l am only a witness here.
Mr. Raven—l submit, Sir, that the statement of the
prisoner, upon which this case is founded, is sufficient to
justify his committal till another day. Smith, against
whom there is a charge elsewhere on the same subject, is
under examination.
Mr. Lefroy said he did not see that anything criminal
was proved against Smith.
Mr. Burnaby--;-There is evidence against Smith in
proof of his criminality, and evidence will be produced
against this prisoner too.
Alderman WILSON—I wish to consult with kr.
Hobler whether lean take bail in this case.

Mr. LefroyNy client will come here on Friday or
Saturday, or any day you.may think proper to appoint.
Alderman WILSON (having spoken with Mr. Hobler)
—I cannot take bail in such a case. The prisoner is ac-
cused of guilty knowledge in charges of forgeries to an
immense amount.

Mr. Lefroy —No forgery whatever is proved.
Alderman WILSON—I know that, and lam resolved
not to allow the remand to go beyond to-morrow. The
Government have had time enough to collect evidence,
I shall attend here to take it at twelve o'clock to-morrow.

Mr. Raven—Very well, Sir ; we shall be prepared.
Alderman 11,74LsoN—Mr. Rapallo remains in custody.
Mr. Lefroy—Upon what ground ?
Alderman WILSON— Upon the charge of having partici-
pated in these transactions, connected with alleged forged
bills, purporting to be Exchequer Bills, to an immense
amount, I shall expect to have evidence brought before me
proving that the documents alluded to are forged and
fabricated, and that the prisoner issued them knowing
them to he forged and fabricated.
The Prisoner—This is really very hard upon me—very
hard. I never had any notion of going away, and I
would at all times most willingly appear to state all I
know. Perhaps you will permit me to remain under the
care of the officers.
Alderman WILSON (having consulted with Mr.
Hobler) said that he could not allow the prise ler to go
any where but to the Compter for the night.
The prisoner was then remanded till to-morrow

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW- STREET:

A youth named Wm. Reeve was brought before Mr.
JARDINE yesterday, charged with breaking open a cash-
box and stealing its contents, the property of Mr. White,
tobacconist, Strand, his employer.
It appeared that it was the duty of the prisoner, who
did not reside on the premises, to open the abop about
nine o'clock every morning, and on Friday last he went
to his master's bed-room to get the key for that purpose.
:1 fter taking down the shutters, he called to the servant
girl to at tend to the shop, while he werrt, as he pretended,
for a bundle of wood to light the fire, and he was not seen
again until he was in custody.
The prosecutor said he paid the prisoner Gs. a week,
with his board, to attend on customers in the shop.
About eight o'clock he handed him the key, and on going
down stairs in an hour after, he missed a bundle of small
cigars, with the case produced, from the shop-window.
His attention was next called to the desk at the end of
the counter, where the prisoner knew the money was
kept, and he found it had been recently broken open with
the chisel produced, which lay on the floor. The cash-
box, which lay in the desk, was also broken open with
much force, from which was taken four sovereigns, 10s.
in silver, and a half sovereign that lay in -the desk. The
money was all safe on the previous night, and witness
took the key of the desk up stairs with him when be re-
tired for the night.
Constable Slade, who apprehended the prisoner, being
informed of the robbery, found him in the company of
some girls, at the Grapes public-house, in Old Compton-
street, Soho; and on asking him if he knew Mr. White,
the tobacconist in the Strand, he replied, he did not. He
was then taken into custody, and on being searched, a
• sovereign, some silver, together with the cigar-case pro-
, duced, were found upon him, and the latter identified by
the prosecutor as his property.
The
_prisoner declined saying anything in his defence,
and he was ordered to be fully committed to Newgate
1. for trial.
