CAMBRIDGE ELECTION, JUNE 11.

The polling commenced at nine o'clock this item-
ing, and proceeded with a desperation of exertion on
both sides. At twelve o'clock Sir Edward had a ma-
jgrity of 50 votes over his right hon. opponent; but
at one o'clock that majority was reduced to 25. the
race between the candidates was then; as it were, be-
coming a " neck and neck" one ; but Mr. Rice was
gradually pushing forward. Sir Edward Sugderi's
friends were active and zealOus in his cause, beyond
almost anything that could be expected from human
exertion, and it will not be their fault should the lion.
and learned gentleman not succeed. At twelve o'clock
100 voters from the parish of Trinity came up in a
body and polled for Mr. Rice, which greatly increased
his number. A large accession of strength also came
up from time to time from Barnwell in the right hon.
gentleman's interest. The parish of St. Andrew-the-
Less, one of Sir Edward Sugden's strong holds, in
the same manlier that that of Barnwell is Mr. Rice's,
polled strongly this morning in favour of the.hon. and
learned gentleman. At half-past one o'clock the num-
burs were :
Sir Edward Sugden 437
Mr. Rice
reducing Sir Edward's majority still lower, and bring-
jag it down to 18.
At a quarter to two o'clock the poll was again de-
clared, when the numbers were for
Sir Edward Sugden 4.56
Mr. Rice 432_

Leaving the majority still at...-18
It appears thre is a large party of the enfranchised
class in the town, who had resolved, if poss:ble, tq
remain neuter ; but it is now understood that shad
they see Mr. Rice's election in jeopardy, they have
declared their intention to come forward and record
their votes for him.

Irritation now begins to show itself in the town,
and some rencontres have already taken place between
the rival parties. A party of Mr. Rice's were assailed
by a party in the interest of Sir Edward Sugeen ; and.
one of the former has received a material injury from
a blow of a brickbat. Party spirit is running high,
and more high as the polling proceeds. It is to be
regretted that any collision should take place between
the friends of the candidates, but it is next to an
im-
possibility to restrain the passions of individuals on
occasions of this kind.

The Rev. Doctor Barnes, who was alluded to a
few days back as the aged patriarch who cheered Sir
Edward Sugden so enthusiastic.ally when his pro-
cession was passing Peter House C,Jlege, of which
the Rev. Doctor is Master, came up this ii:orning and
voted for Sir Edward Sugden. At a quarter pat two
o'clock Sir Edward was 22 a-head, being an inereaZe
of four over the preceding declaration.
At a quarter past three o'clock the numbers were—
For Mr. Rice
Sir Edward Sugden 5Ol
bringing down Sir Edward's majority in the last guar,
ter of an hour to nine. Nearly 1,000 voters had to
this time polled, and the whole constituency is 1,400 ;
but amongst those who have not yet polled a large
proportion are said to be Mr. Rice's friends. At a
few minutes to four, Mr. Rice was still pulling up.
At four o'clock the state of. the poll, which was the
closing declaration for the day, was—
Mr. Rice 506
Sir Edward.Sugden
Majority for Sir E. Sugden

The conclusion of the day's poll has given great sa-
tisfaction to Mr. Rice's friends, as the majority over
Mr. Rice during the first hour of the polling amounted
to 90. Mr. Rice's friends are still most sanguine of
success.

At a little after four o'clock the Mayor and can-
didates appeared on the hustings for the purpose of
addressing the electors, but the yelling was of so vio-
lent and tremendous a character, that it. was impossi-
ble to hear one word.

Mr. RICE first presented himself, but was cried
down by the party opposed to him, on which the
Mayor claimed that he should be heard; but to this
his opponents would not consent, crying out, " Sug-
den, Sugden 1" Mr. Rice, on this, said he would
willingly yield to Sir Edward, and consent to have
him heard first ; but the uproar continued to increase,
on which the Mayor adjourned the poll to eight
o'clock to-morrow (this) morning.
The candidates then left the hustings, and pro-
ceeded to their respective hotels, whence they ad-
dressed their friends.

Mr. RICE, on presenting himself at the window of
the Hoop Hotel, was received by the assembled crowd
beneath with deafening cheers. After a few prelimi-
nary observations he referred the meeting to the state
of the poll at that moment, and to its state in the
morning, when, by the influence which was used, and
the trick of first getting possession of the polling
booth, his opponent in the first hour succeeded in ob-
taining a majority over him of 90 ; that majority was
now reduced to five. ( Loud cheers.) He regretted
to see the array of influence which was exercised
against him, but, firm in his principles, and confident
of the integrity of his supporters in Cambridge, he
feared it not. He should be ashamed if there was one
single voter in Cambridge who would allow himself to
be influenced by any man. (Hear, hear.) He was
happy to say that he was bound by connections and
influential ties of friendship to Cambridge ; but I e
thanked Heaven that there was no man who could say
that he used either the one or the other to advance his
interest at this election. (Bravo.) Several good
men in the town had come to him, and said, " Sir, we
approve of your principles and political conduct, but
unless there should be absolute occasion for us to come
forward we would, under the state of things in the
town, prefer remaining back ; should, however, that
occasion arise, you may depend on seeing us to-morrow
at the poll." ( Cheers.) He would ask the electors,
would they be free—or were they disposed again to
be enslaved ? He knew they were independent and
intelligent ; and that their honesty and intelligence
would direct them into the proper path. This was a
question not concerning him but themselves, and the
independence of their town ( Hear, hear), and what-
ever way the election might terminate, his opponents,
he would maintain, were doing that which was moraly
indefensible. Was it right that a gardener was to be
threatened with dismissal from his master's service for
having the courage not to vote against his conscience ?
( Hear, hear, and groans.) The course for the electors
dependent on masters to pursue would be to say,
" Sir, our votes are our own. They were given us for
a public trust, and we are determined to exercise them
virtuously and fearlessly." ( Hear and cheers.). He
hoped the electors would make every sacrifice, Ind,
should a demand be made on them to vote against their
consciences, that they would spurn the man who would
thus dare to tamper with their rights. (Bravo.) He
(Mr. R.) had been misrepresented in his absence ; but
he would not in the absence of his opponent ( Sir E.
Sugden) pursue that course. The right hon. gent. then
referred to the influence which the corporation of the
town was exerting to prejudice him in the election. He
would ask the meeting if they were in favour of Rut-
land Clubs ? ( Groans, and cries of " Never.") If
they were in favour of abused trusts and wasted cha-
rities, then they would elect the man who was brought
forward by the parties interested in the perpetuation
of those abuses ; but, on the contrary, they would
elect him (Mr. Rice), who, without being an enemy
to corporate interests, would
_endeavour to remedy
those abuses. (Cheers.) One point he wished to ex-
plain to the electors on which he had been misrepre-
sented. It was stated that the principles which he
had laid down, both with regard to the reform of cor-
porate bodies, and the correction of abuses in the Irish
Church went to the unsettlement of property. He
made no such statement. The security of property
was as essential to the poor as to the rich. It was pro-
perty that enabled the farmer to raise produce, the
rich man to employ the poor, and the great capitalist
to set the manufactures in motion, which were the
great means of raising this country to its high state
of prosperity and greatness. In private property se-
curity was the one thing required ; and in public
trusts, the proper discharge of them was the one
thing necessary. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") After
some further observations, the right hon. gentleman re-
marked that these were not times for splitting hairs, or
making distinctions of shade or colour; the object of the
people of Cambridge should be the interest of their
town and country, and to secure those objects he
trusted they would unite. ( Hear.) It was unprece-
dented, he observed, that in an election wherein a man
had a majority of 90 in the first hour, that that ma-
jority, notwithstanding the influence used to the con-
trary, bad been reduced 'to four or five. ( Cheers. )
He therefore hoped his friends would not relax in their
exertions ; and concluded by hoping that they would
bo at the poll this morning at eight o'clock, and prove
by their votes that the chains which their friends (of
whom he was one) had struck off them, should not

%gain be placed on their arms by their masters, and
ihat their necks would not. again be bowed to the
collar. (Great cheering.)
Sir EDWARD StiGDEN said he rejoiced to inform
them that he was that day at the head of the poll, and
he felt confident of victory, and that he would be the
representative of Cambridge. (Cheers.) The men
of Cambridge would not have two Whigs to
represent them. They already had Mr. Prytne,
who was a Whig, and he wished then joy of
their member. (Laughter.) He Would give the
Dissenters everything that was fair, but he would
not consent to sacrifice the Protestant Church, which
had stood during. so many ages. The rights of pro-
perty, he maintained, should be preserved inviolate,
which was as important to the Dissenters as to the
Protestants. What would the Dissenters think if the
Protestants were to institute an inquiry into their pro-
perty and institutions? ( Hear, hear.) He admitted a
right to inquire into Church property, but not to
alienate it. He was averse to raising religious cries,
but was charged with raising that of " the church is
in danger." But he would always take care of the
interests of the church. He boasted of the station
from which he had sprung, and concluded by thanking
the meeting for the support they had given him, and
exhorted them to continue their exertions, by which
they would secure his return.

Sir Edward's committee state the poll to be—
For Sir Edward S,:,gden 5ll
Mr. Rice ... 502

(From our own Correspondent.)

CAMBRIDGE, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Sir Edward Sugden's Committee assert the majority
over Mrs Spring Rice to be 11 ; but the fact of Mr. Rice
pidling up his minority from 90 to 5, or even 11, upon
the days polling, with so small a constituency, is unpre-
tedented in the annals of electioneering. To such ex-
tremes has influence been carried, that an autograph letter
01 an Illustrious Duke, now playing a prominent part in
the proceedings of the Sister University, has been
openly exhibited, asking a 101. freeholder to vote for Sir
Edward Sugden. The Dudley gentleman was caught this
afternoon close to the hustings offering a Si. note to a
voter. He was instantly attacked by both parties, and was
hurried off in fly, the mob threatening him as he drove off.
it is supposed that above 300 will poll to-morrow.
Mr. Pryme, the other member for the town, was the
first who offered himself to poll this morning.

MR. ABERCROMBIE.—The Right Hon.
James Abercrombie, the new Master of the Mint, is
the third son of the late Sir Ralph Abercrombie,
who fell so gloriously in Egypt, and brother of the
Peer of that name. Mr. Abercrombie was Chief
Baron of the Excheqy.er in Scotland before its sup-
pression, which he recommended, the Court being
useless. Mr. Abercrombie has sat for many years
in Parlialnent for Calne. and was supposed to have
been '!testined by the Whigs to have filled the Chair
01 the House of Commons, bad that source of pa-
tronage fallen to their lot. He enjoys a pension of
2,0001. per annum for the loss of his office, but
which w►ll, of course, be in abeyance while he
holds another.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.—Among the vi-
titers to the tunnel within the last few days was M.
Dupin, the President of the French Chamber of De-
puties, the Prince d'Eckmuhl, and the son of Marshal
Ney. The French President expressed in high terms
his praise at the manner in which the tunnel has been
so far prosecuted, and his surprise that it should have
remained so long in an unfinished state. As a proof
of the increasing solidity of the structure as far as it
has been completed, it may be mentioned that the
tunnel is becoming sonorous, the slightest noise being
revibrated through the whole length of the archery.
A book has for some time been kept at the extremity
of the tunnel to receive the names of distinguished and
other persons who may visit the work, and already a
great number of distinguished persons, including many
foreigners of note, have inscribed their names in it.

MADAME DE STAEL.—It was one of the
weaknesses of Madame de Stael's mind to wish for the
distinction of beauty; she had the folly to say, " she
would give half her intellectual capacity for the power
of interesting." In quest of compliment, she once
tried, when in company with Talleyrand and a lady of
great beauty, to make him show a preference ; but in
vain she put such questions as she thought' inevitable
—he parried all. At last she said, " Now, if both of
us were drowning, which would you try to save ?"
"0, madam !" he replied, bowing to her, "you
swim so well."

On Tuesday morning the body of a woman,
which appears to have been in the water some time,
was picked up on the river off Blaekw all by a dredge-
man, and conveyed ashore. The deceased appears to
have been about twenty-two or twenty-three years of
age, and was attired in a dark pattern muslin gown
and slate coloured shawl. There were no shoes cn the
feet, and nothing about the person of the deceased,
by which her name and address could be ascertained.
MYSTERIOUS DEATII.—On the 20th of
May, at Boulogne-sur-Mer, in the sixty-seventh year
of his age, Luke Masterson, Esq., a gentleman uni-
versally regretted by all who had the pleasure of his
acquaintance. His death is involved in mystery.
After dining with a friend and retiring at an early
hour to his own house, he was discovered shortly af-
terwards by the police lying senseless on his face in
the street with three deep cuts on his head, one of
which fractured his skull. In this dreadful state he
remained for four days, when he expired. Mr. Mas-
terson was the last of the family of Sir J. Masterson,
of Cheshire, who got a grant, A.D. 1820, of the
estates of Castledown and Monaseed, in this county.
He was the eldest son of the late Capt. Edward Mas-
terson, who sailed round the world with the famous
Lord Anson, who often said that a better or braver
man had never trodden the quarter deck of a British ,
man-of-wax. Mr. Masterson died unmarried.— Wex-
ford Freeman.

The copper springs in the county of Wick-
low, in Ireland, owed the discovery of their valuable

quality to the following circumstance :—About the
middle of the eighteenth century, when the opening
"of the rich mines of Crone-Baron, had compensated
the loss of the more ancient workings of Ballymurtagh,
a workman happened to leave an iron shovel in one of
the levels from the former mine, by which issued a
copious stream strongly impregnated with copper ; on
taking out the implement some weeks after it, it was
found so completely incrusted, that it was at first
thought to be converted into copper. This accident
suggested the advantage of laying bars of iron in the
streams, by means of which the copper in the water
was precipitated upon the iron, which became cor-
roded by the process, and fell to the bottom as a red-
dish mud, and which, on being taken out and dried,
appeared a sort of dust of the same colour, in which
state it was ready for smelting. About 500 tons of
iron were laid at one time in these pits : in about
twelve months the bars became dissolved ; one ton of
iron yielding a ton and a half, and sometimes nearly
two tons of the metalliferous precipitate, and each
ton of the latter producing sixteen cwt. of pure cop-
per. It is a knowledge of this affinity between the
two metals, that has furnished the miners with a very
simple but almost infallible method of ascertaining
whether an ore contain copper. They drop a little
nitric acid upon the mass, and after a while dip a
feather into the acid and draw it over the polished
blade of a knife ; and, if there be the smallest quan-
tity of copper present, it will be precipitated on the
steel.—Lardner's Cyclopedia.

NATIONAL DRUNKENNESS.—The papers
report that numerous petitions have been presented
praying for an inquiry into the cause of " the increase
of drunkenness." And Lord Ebrington lately de-
clared that drunkenness has so much increased in the
West of England, that the labourers are seen con-
stantly drunk even while holding the plough. The
editor of the Liverpool Albion very wittily remarks,
that the cause of drunkenness is the taking of strong
drinks. But this is only the proximate cause, and we
presume that the petitioners desire to know the ori-
ginal cause, or why the people are more inclined to
take " strong drinks" than formerly. If the reader
will turn over to page 23 of the " Herald of Astro-
logy, for 1833," he will perceive that we predicted as
follows :—" Death by dropsy and by drowning (thou-
sands meeting destruction by sudden floods) will be re-
marked during the reign of this phenomenon." The
great eclipse of the Sun in the watery sign Cancer,
from which we made this prediction, denoted that for 21
months from last July much inclination for excessive
drinking would be observed, whence the deaths by
"dropsy" which we mentioned. The numerous " deaths
by drowning" have been verified in the vast number
of wrecks during the winter, and the terrible floods
in China, which swept away 18,000 houses at one
place, and destroyed above 1,000 persons at
another. The disease of dropsy is generally pro-
duced by drunkenness ; hence we may rely that
the prediction will be fully verified, and we may thus
see that there is planetary influence at work to pro-
duce that extensive intemperance which exists.—

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1834.

The Religious Assemblies Bill was carried
last night by a considerable majority, and
though we have a great abhorrence of cant or
any legislative enactment which may transfer
the official duties of clergymen to laymen, we
can see no rational objection to such a mea-
sure as this. As the law now stands, a layman
may read a sermon, or preach to any number of
persons in his own house, but if he prays with
more than twenty,with closed doors,he is liable to a
fine. If those who objected to the bill had also
intimated their intention of refusing laymen,
unless properly qualified, the privilege of
preaching, there would be some consistency in
their opposition. But while men without a
particle of education can get a license to "hold
forth," and while the most learned and pious
are not allowed to pray but according to rule,
to defend the present law is only to defend an
anomalous absurdity.

The country will be glad to learn that a
clause in the County Coroners' Bill, declaring
all coroners' inquests open courts, was agreed
to last night in the Commons, without a divi-
sion. There was rather a full attendance of
members on the occasion (about 140) ; and
though it was opposed by Sir E. KNATCH-
BULL, and one or two more of the true old Tory
breed, they saw they had no chance in a re-
, formed house, and gave up the contest. This
is a great point gained, not only for securing fair
play and correct information, but for calming the
public mind, when excited by such scenes as that
exhibited at Manchester inlBl9. On all occasions
of great excitement the public naturally seek in-
formation on every thing connected with it, and
is it not much better to let them know the
truth, and have an opportunity of judging for
themselves by carrying on the investigation
with open doors, than give them only
garbled accounts, furnished by interested,
and not unfrequently malignant parties, lead-
ing them to believe that the object of the
coroner is to suppress, rather than elicit
the truth ? In this instance, more perhaps
than on any other, is exemplified the
truth of the saying, omne ignotum pro nzagni-
fie° est, and the exaggeration, naturally, is all
against the government, and those who wish to
smother the evidence. No one now can for a

moment doubt that the officious interference
with the press, and the feverish anxiety of the
Coroner, at the Oldham inquest, to suppress
the publication of the evidence, added greatly to
the odium under which the government laboured
in consequence of that transaction. Had the doors
been thrown open without restriction, an Eng-
lish public would have judged for themselves,and,
as they always do when they have fair play,
would have judged rightly, allowing to the Go-
vernment and the Yeomanry their proportionate
shares of blame. As it was, the minister of the
day was regarded as the prime mover in the
tragic scene, the Yeomanry as his military
agents, and the Coroner as his slavish tool.
That day, however, is now gone by, and the
press that resisted him at the time, and has
since persevered in resisting the exclusion of the
public, may with some triumph ask him " Where
be thy gibes now ? thy gambols ? thy threats?
with all the other accompaniments of the inso-
lence of office ? " Not one now, to mark thy
grinning ?" " Quite chop-fallen ?" Had the
same course been pursued in the investigation
of the Calthorpe-street affair, Lord MEL-
BOURNE, for a time, would have been as un-
popular as Lord C A STLEREA GH ; and we
verily believe an iron pillar in honour of the
jury would have marked the spot.

In the evening sitting of the House of Com-
mons yesterday, the Religious Assemblies Bill
was read a third time. The Bribery Law
Amendment Bill was committed pro forma on
an understanding that the third reading should
not be pressed this session. After much dis-
cussion, and not a few divisions, the County
Coroner's Bill went through committee.

The Paris journals of Tuesday state that the
Spanish General IRIARTE had obtained a vie.
tory over the Carlist troops near the heights of
Latorre on the 28th ult., when the Carlists,
who were commanded by CASTOR, had 300
killed. Among the prisoners. were several chiefs
and members of the Junta of Castile. The
same authorities talk of orders having been given
for the formation of a camp at Compeigne,
about the end of July, which is to comprise
7,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung contains a long,
laboured defence of the occupation of the city
of Frankfort by the Austrian troops. In this
elaborate article occurs the following signifi-
cant passage :—" If it be true, as is affirmed,
that France and .England have objected to the
military occupation of Frankfort by the Confe-
deration, this will show an entire coincidence
in this case between those two powers and the
advocates of the republican propaganda, as the
latter also look with jealous eyes on a measure
which is directed against its restless efforts to
excite disturbances." Thus, it seems, France
and England are not to interfere with any mea-
sure that the confederated despots of Europe
may think proper to bring forward—are not
even so much as to whisper their disapprobation,
while Russian and Austrian manacles are
being forged for Germany, on pain of being
considered aiders and abettors of republicanism
and anarchy I Of all the numerous slaps in
the face that England and France have re-
ceived at the hands of the allied despots, we
know not that they have received a more ting-
ling one than this. It is a sort of sic tido, sic
jubeo mandate, which their masters have ordered
them to obey, on peril of their high and mighty
displeasure.

The correction of the abuses of the Poor
Laws is not of less importance than the reform
in the representation of the people. Without
morality and industry, which have been sapped
by those abuses, political rights are of no avail
to a people. A writer on this subject has well
said, " If, the base be unsound, neither the
column nor the capital can be safe." The im-
providence and profligacy, the idleness and
recklessness, attendant upon those abuses,
threaten the very frame of society with destruc-
tion, which cannot fail to follow, if these abuses
be not removed. But though much will be
done for the improvement of the moral and tem-
poral condition of the people by the passing of
the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, still much will
remain to be done for the purpose of giving
them good habits ; and we trust that- the Poor
Laws' Amendment Bill will be followed by a bill
for the establishment of a rational and a national
system of education. On this subject, we beg
leave to recommend to the attention of our
readers a treatise on popular education, lately
published by JAMES SIMPSON, Esq., advocate,
in which he inculcates the teaching chil-
dren the knowledge and the use of
things before they are taught the know-
ledge and the use of words, with moral
training throughout every part of the course.
We do not know that his theory of morals is
altogether sound, and he does not appear to
have studied much the principles of political
economy ; but we are quite sure he is right in
inculcating the early cultivation of moral feel-
ing, and the early acquisition of good habits in
children. This treatise is peculiarly valuable
in showing what may be done by means of in-
fant schools, that is, schools for children of the
age of two to six. Of these several have been
established in Edinburgh, of which he gives an
account that is very interesting, and we recom-
mend his book as an accompaniment to that of
i M. COUSIN. It has been remarked, that when-

ever our neighbours on the Continent originate
any thing useful we never fail to improve upon
them, and we trust that the observation will
prove true in the present instance.

CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

BY EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.

SECOND DAY.

CAMBRIDGE, (THIS DAY), THURSDAY.

The polling commenced this morning at 8 o'clock,
each party with their bands and colors parading the
streets long before that hour, and each confident of
success. 1,017 polled yesterday, the numbers re-
gistered, as I said, are 1,456 ; but some of those
are dead, and many registered double—reducing the
number of actual voters to 1,267. One man is dis-
covered to have voted in favour of Sir Edward
Sugden, this morning, in the name of John White,
an overseer who has been dead some time—informa-
tions are about to be laid against him, and he will be
indicted for perjury. The race at 10 o'clock was
neck and neck, and nice running. At that hour
ten voters went up in a body in favour of Mr. Rice.
which gave him a majority of 11. It is supposed that
not more than 160 will poll to-day. They say those
in Sir E. Su'den's interest are keeping back, in the
hope that, by Mr. Rice having a majority about the mid-
dle of the day, the waverers, and those under the in-
fluence of the Colleges, who are inclined to vote for
Mr. Rice may refrain from voting. Three have polled
twice for Sir Edward Sugden. The returns are :

COURT OF KING'S BENCH-THIS DAY.

THE KING V. TOMLINSON.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, in this case, which had been
tried before Mr. Justice Parke, an application had been
made to set aside the verdict ; but although the observa-
tions used on both sides were of a very strong nature, the
Court did not feel itself justified in interfering with the
verdict.
JOHNSTON V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF ST. PETER'S.
In this case it had been contended that there was an
implied obligation on the part of the churchwardens to
keep up and repair the church. The Court was of opinion,
that the case ought to go to a new trial, in order that the
damages might be more correctly ascertained,

ROGERS V. :SMITH.

The CHIEF JUSTICE said the case had been argued at
considerable length before the Court ; it was a writ of
error to reverse the judgment on the round of informa-
lity in the return of the distringas. The opinion of the
Court was, that the judgment was erroneous.

SALTMARSII V. HEWIT.

The CHIEF JUSTICE said this was a case which in-
olved two or three others, and it was a rule calling on
the plaintiff to show cause why the warrant of attorney of
judgment, and writ of sequestration, should not be set
aside. The object was to confess judgment in an action of
debt for the sum of 3,6001. The Court thought that in the
present case they were laying down a satisfactory rule for
the construction of instruments of a similar nature. They
were of opinion that the security could not be sup-
ported, and that the rule must be made absolute.

PHILLIPS V. WILLIAMS

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said in this case the rule mus
be discharged with costs.

HABEAS CORPUS,---THE KING V. ELMAY.

In this case an application had been made by Mr. PLATT
for a writ of habeas corpus, calling upon the gaoler of Ips-
wich to make a return of the warrant under which the de-
fendant had been committed to the gaol of Ipswich for a
breach of the revenue laws. _ .

The return was read by the officer of the Court, by which
it appeared that Elmay had been committed on the 17th of
May last, on the warrant of Francis Robinson and James
Woodman, two magistrates of Donnington, county of Suf-
folk, having been taken in an open boat with certain pieces
of cordage for slinging small casks and other articles, con-
trary to the provisions of the Act for the prevention of
smuggling, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001.
The return further stated, that, in the absence of the
gifoler, the first warrant of commitment had been taken
away and another substituted, also signed by the before named
magistrates, but substituting the fact of the defendant
having been taken " in the parish of All Saints Borough
of Donnington," instead of his having been taken "at
Leicester, county of Suffolk," as stated in the first
warrant.

Re-
venue Act give a power to the magistrates to amend their
warrant either before or after commitment ; and it is under
the amended warrant the defendant is now in custody. By
the 3d and 4th William IV., chap. 53, sec. 90, it was
provided, " That it shall and may be lawful for any justices
of the peace, and they are hereby authorised and required
to amend any information, conviction, or warrant of com-
mittal for any offence under any such Act, at any time,
whether before or after conviction."
The CHIEF JUSTICE—It does not appear that they have
taken any steps to amend the warrant ; it was taken away,
and another substituted.
Mr. Justice TAUNTON—It does not appear on the face
of the return that the second return was the amended one
as required by the act. It is merely a substitution of one
warrant for another._ _

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. DUNDAS argued
at some length in support of the legality of the warrant.
Mr. PLATT was heard on the other side.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that in restraining the liberty
of the subject great care should be taken that it was done
with regularity. The second warrant made no allusion to
the first, although the magistrates should have set forth
that having discovered an error or irregularity in their
commitment, they had amended it, as they were authorized
to do. This should appear on the face of the return, and
it did not appear. He was of opinion, therefore, that the
defendant should be discharged.

The other Judges expressed themselves of the same
opinion.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

JUDGMENT.-GREGORY V. TUFTS.

This was oneof the series of actions for penalties brought
by the plaintiff against the licensed victuallers. A rule for
a new trial had been argued in the term, and judgment was
this morning given by
Lord Ll' 1.1311 II mi.. He said it had not been customary
for the Court to grant new trials in penal actions, where
the jury had found for the defendant, unless it clearly ap-
peared that they had been misled in the law by a misdirec-
tion by the learned judge. In this case it was clear, how-
' ever, that the jury had come to a conclusion upon the law
of their own accord, and looking at the clearness of the evi-
dence on the part of the plaintiff, and the conduct of the
jury upon the occasion, it was also perfectly clear that
they had acted under a misapprehension of the law ;
therefore they were of opinion that there ought to be a
new trial. They had consulted with the other judges, who
agreed with them that in such a case they had decided
correctly.

WARD V. JONES.

This was an action for the: purpose of trying a right of
way over a close belonging to the defendant, and
which was tried at the last Worcester assizes, when the
plaintiff was nonsuited. A rule to set that nonsuit aside
was argued, but the Court decided that as the defendant
had enjoyed the right of way for more than twenty years,
as of right, the nonsuit should not be disturbed.

HENNING V. BOYLE.

This was the case of a schoolmaster's detaining a boy at
school till the wages were paid. We reported it at length
in our paper of yesterday.
This morning the COURT unanimously decided that the
action could not be maintained, as there was no evidence
to show that the boy ever had the least intimation of the
demand made by his mother, or that he was detained
against his will, which it was necessary to show in order
to maintain the action in its present form. There was no
case in the books where such an action had been decided
in the plaintiff's favour, when the whole transaction took
place in his absence. The nonsuit must therefore remain
undisturbed.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Our arrivals this morning are two foreign mails, bring-
ing New York Papers two days later than the last ac-
counts, but their contents are of little importance.
We are anxiously waiting arrivals from Lisbon to ascer-
tain the destination of Dons Miguel and Carlos.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 923% for the Ac-
count, opened at 9254 3%, with little doing as yet, owing
to the chief speculations at present being in Spanish and
Portuguese Stocks, and for which there is a great mania
with the Hebrews and Portuguese parties, who maintain
the market with great spirit, as the former confidently
hope that the great city capitalist will have the Spanish
Loan.
Spanish Stock may be quoted at 48%14; Portuguese,
775,04 ; Colombia, 331,E to 34.
American Papers have been received by the London line-
packet ship, President, Captain Moore.
This moment another change has taken place in Spanish,
having been done at 4914.

" THE SUN" NEWSPAPER CAMBRIDGE
EXPRESS.-Our yesterday's express, giving an ac-
count of the state of the poll up to twelve o'clock.
which reached London at three, was read in Cam-
bridge at a quarter to nine o'clock last night, greatly,
we understand, to the astonishment of all who saw it.

The Queen has purchased from Allan his
cabinet picture at Somerset-house, entitled Interior at
Abbotsford, Oct., 1832.

On Monday night, in the House of Lords,
Lord Kenyon presented a petition from Dr. Southey,
of Keswick, the poet-laureat, in behalf of supporting
the union of church and state, and against the admis-
sion of dissenters to the universities.— Whitehaven
Herald.

Bishop Phillpotts was announced to preach
a charity sermon at Camdem Chapel, Peckham, on
Sunday, the Ist instant, and the subject was to be
repeated in the evening by an humble M. A. The
Right Reverend Father, as a good politician, fore-
saw that the donations would be reserved for the
evening collection, which was likely to be more
than double the amount of that in the morning, and
thus prudently withdrew, subjecting the female part
of the congregation to the disappointment of still.;
ing at a Bishop in his robes, the emblem of pur .
and sanctity.
