WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY.—Sir Denis Le Marchant,
who was returned on this day week, without opposition, for
Worcester, in the place of the new Chief Justice Sir Thomas
Wilde, has to-day and yesterday been making per: oval calls
upon the electors, in fulfilment of his promise made last week,
and has met with a most gratifying reception. There was a
threat held out by some of the disappointed monopolist party,
that an attempt would be made to annul the election, be-
cause the proceedings commenced five minutes before the ap-
pointed hour. It is, however, nothing more than a threat.
The proceedings were entirely legal.

Stockbridge, in Hampshire, has followed the fate of all its

SPORTING INTELLItx' ENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.
The Chester Cup settling was resumed yesterday afternoon, and,
as we predicted last week, proved very easy. The Derby betting was
not heavy, nor was it by any means important. We may observe,
however, that Humdrum, Crown Prince, and the Peri colt had seve-
ral friends ; Humdrum with by far the strongest party. Fancy Boy
was also backed for several hundred pounds at 11 and 12 to 1, the
layers, at the finish, not at all disposed to baulk his supporters. Sir
Tatton Sykes was likewise laid against at 6 to 1 to three or four
hundred, but in this case it struck us that the takers were in the
ascendant. Sting was backed for 2001 at 3to 1 ; Brocardo, in leveral
places at 25 to 1 ; the Traverser at 20 to 1, in hundreds, and a few out-
siders at liberal odds. A few small bets were laid on the Oaks at
12 to 1 against Osprey, 20 to 1 against Wilderness, and 25 to 1 against
Princess Alice.

equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added

seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.

GROUP XLIII,

The Committee to whom the Bills in this group are referred met
this morning at twelve o'clock ; Mr. B. Denison, chairman.

SOMERSETSEIRE MIDLAND.
The cross-examination of Mr. Gregory, engineer, on the part of
the opposition, was resumed this morning with reference to the Wl-
culty of working the line with such gradients as proposed.
Mr. F. Fox was then examined by Mr. Sergeant KINGLAitis,
and proved the accuracy of the levels referred to by Mr. Gregory.
Cross-examined by Mr. GURNEY—In his cross-examination he d-
mitted that the line could not be made within the line of deviati, es,
unless in thcform of a corkscrew.
Mr. Sturge was the next witness examined, who stated that be
went over the ground with Mr. Fox, and spoke to the accuracy of
the levels taken by him.

Mr. G. C. Ashniead proved the accuracy of the levels as taken by
Mr. Fox.

Mr. BIDDER considered that it would be much more expensive to
work a line with these gradients than upon a line where the gradients
were less severe, in consequence of the necessity there would be to
keep engines always in readiness to assist trains in getting up the
incline.

The cross-examination of Mr. Bidder having been concluded, the
Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

LEEDS, MAT 9.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The result of the business of the week juatl.
fies the caution given in our last Saturday's notice, prices having
slowly and gradually declined sines that time. Those buyers who
have abstained from purchasing during the early part of the account
will probably now come forward, and by the creation of a demand,
prevent any material further reduction for this account. The trade
is becoming one more of supply and demand than of " account"
speculation, and is therefore less likely to be subject to those capri-
cious variations in price which the speculations of the jobbers have
so long fostered. The American intelligence to the IGth ult., received
via Havre, is generally considered favourable to the preser-
vation of peace, but is yet not of that decided character
to produce so favourable an abet on the share markets as
our anticipation of a final amicable settlement of the Oregon
question would have. The sales are—Huddersfield and Manchester,

LAW INTELLIGENCE,
PRIVY COUNCIL, May 11.
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat in the
Council Chamber, Whitehall, for the first time sine 3 the
alterations.
The Lords present were the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-
Chancellor Knight Bruce, the Judge of the Admiralty Court,
the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, Sir Edward Ryan,
Sir E. 11. East, and Sir Alexander Johnstone.
Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with
the arguments in an appeal from Madras.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 11.
The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The Peers
in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,
and Lord Campbell.

THE EARL OF MANSFIELD V. SIR W. D. STEWART.-STEWART

V. TITZ SAME.

These cases came before their Lordships on Tuesday last,
upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The
short facts connected with the case may be thus stated :
The appellant, the Earl of Mansfield, bought, in the year
1842, from Sir W. D. Stewart, the est ate of Logrealmond, for
the sum of 203,000/., but some douLts afterwards occurring
whether, according to the terms of an ancient family entail,
the powers of Sir W. D. Stewart over the estate extended
to the right to sell it, a suit was instituted in the Court of
Session for the purpose of obtaining their decision on the
point. The appellant in the second appeal was one of the
line of entail. The Court of Session gave judgment in favour
of the power of sale, and from that decision the present ap-
peal was brought.
The arguments were resumed this morning, and appear
likely to occupy the whole day.

COURT OF QUEEIV'S BENCH, May 11.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
TUCKER V. ELKIN.

This was an action of ejectment. The plaintiff was
trustee under the will of the late Mr. Tucker, for his widow,
and sought to recover the possession of certain premises
which the defendant held under deceased, and from whom
deceased's son often received rent. Defendant contended that
he held the premises under the assignee of another will, and
was not the tenant of defendant.

The case occupied a considerable time, but was of no public
interest.

The jury found for the le3sors of the plaintiff.

COURT OF CO,IIMON PLEAS, May 11.
INGRAM V. LENNOX.

This was an action for the recovery of 1001., lent upon a
bill of exchange to a person named Williams, for whom de-
fendant became security. The defence set up was, that the
date of the bill had been altered after the defendant had first
seen it.—The jury found for the plaintiff.
The other cases tried during the day were of the same
character.
