BUTLER'S lILTDIBRAS MISQUOTED.
How often do we find pretenders inisgtioting authors for
want of a little reading, for instance
" Ile who's convinced against his will
Is of the same.opin'on still,"
19 called a passage from " Iludibras," when thereis no such nonsense
in the volume. Newspapers, magazines, and other publications In
which mere pretenders to literature are allowed to scribble became
they expect little or nothing for their contributions, are generally
well supplied with second-hand twaddle, which relies for embellish-
ment on misquotations from authors whom the writers affect to have
read, but perhaps never saw. Butler's words are—
' lle that complies against his will
Is of his own opiniordstill."
A friend to economy, who bought most things as cheap as he
could, was seven years before he could he persuaded to buy cheap,
clothes a second time. lle had been taken in once, and had a suit
which shrivelled up to nothing the first time he:was caught in the,
rain, and from that time he held forth that cheap clothes were the
dearest as well as the worst in the end. At length some friends who
knew More of the world than he did, forced hira to try a suit made
by E. MOSES and SON, bat sorely agains -hisinclination ; he wee
out se conceit of them before lie wore them , 11 lwr,sobliged, never-
theless, rather than offend his friends, to t 1 :tan lle " compinion
ied
against his will," and, for a short time, was "of his own opi
still; but it was only for a short time. The dress fitted him better
than any his own to for had ever made, the garments set well, they
wore the same after a shower of rain as before, the, materials were
the best he hal ever worn ; to USe his own words, they wore well
and looked wed to the last, and he takes as Much pains to recom-
mend cheap clothing- as ho had before taken to ai,u,e it. The fact
Is, E. MOSES and SON were the first to establish a system of eco-
nomy in dress, founded on good buying, the empioyment of first-rate
artists and cutters, picked workmen, and (for that is the grandund secret)
taking small izofits. Where ordinary tail us charge a p profit,
E. MOSES and SON are content with a shliling, an i they sell a
hundred where another sells one. Pay one visit to their Monarch
Mart in the East, or their noble establishment in the Wept, and
there will be found the largest and best assoranent in the world, at
half the prices charged by ordinary tailors.

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 5.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The reaction which tcok place in tl e
London Share Market yesterday has slightly affected the
the prices of railway stock in this town; but, as usual, there
are few buyers in an apparently declining market. It is
only when there is a decided advance, or the prospect of a
rise, that the public speculate or evince a disposition to invest.
The transactions to-day are unworthy of notice, and there
was little change of quotations.

THE SHEFFIELD CUTLERS' FEAST.
SHEFFIELD, SEPT. s.—Yesterday the Master
Cutler elect, Mr. William Webster, entered upon his
year of office, and in accorslariee with the usual cus-
tom gave an entertainment to the principal members
of the ancient Corporation of Cutlers, several of the
gentry of the county, and a number of his personal
friends. In the morning the• Master Cutler, accom-
panied by the officials of the corporation, attended
Divine service at the parish church, and was after-
wards duly sworn in before the magistrates at the
Town-hall. The banquet took place in the evening
at the Cutlers'-hall, which was approiriately deco-
rated for the occasion. The Master Cttler presided,
and was supported on his right by Lore \Vbarncliffe,
Sir T. White, and Mr. Denison, -.M.P., and on his left
by the Hon. Mr. Wortley, Mr. Parlor, M.P., the
Mayor of Sheffield, and the Rev. T.Sale, vicar of
Sheffield. Mr. Roebuck, M.P., who dd not arrive
until after the dinner had commenced, was seated op-
posite the Master Cutler at the cross table. About
200 guests were present at the entertinment, which
was of a most sumptuous description.
After the cloth had been removed "Non nobis
Domine" was sung by a corps of gee-singers, and
the usual loyal toasts were proposed by the Master
Cutler, and were received with day honour. The
bealths of the Duke of Norfolk, the 3ulte of Devon-
shire, Earl Fitzwilliam, and the Earl of Effingham,
were then drunk in succession.
The MASTER CUTLER next gave, " Lord Wham-
cliffe and the House of Peers."'
Lord WHAENCLIFFE, in acknowledging the toast,
said thet although he had been present on many pre-
vious occasions of e, similar king,, he had never met
them with more satisfaction thin or, felt on that occa-
sion. They had assembled in that hall in much less
cheerful times, when a gloom hung over the commu-
nity, and when even the most sanguine were in some
degree dispirited at the prospects of the material
interests of the town.—(Rear.) He was not going
to tell them that they were now prosperous. He had
lived long enough to know that Englishmen did not
like to be told they were flourishing—(A laugh)—
indeed, to tell them so seemed a denial of that inesti-
mable birthright of the enjoyment of which every
Englishman boasted—the privilege of grumbling.—
(Laughter.) He would not, therefore, tell them that
they were prosperous, but he might venture to say
that they met under fewer conditions of discourage-
ment than upon many previous occasions. Into the
causes of that happy change he would not now enter.
Many reasons for it had been assigned, and probably
many of those present would differ in opinion as to
the origin of the change which had taken place. This,
however, he might venture to say without trespassing
beyond the neutrality which was observed at such
meetings, that at any rate the revival of the trade of
Sheffield was a proof that the cunning cf its artisans
was net lessened, and that their energy and
skill had still the means of commanding a market.—
(Hear, hear.) He never entertained much doubt upon
that point, and he took the present aspect of affairs to
be confirmation of his better hopes. But their atten-
tion had this year been turned to a point of more than
ordinary interest. Among the many recollections
they would all entertain of this remarkable year—a
year which might be called the jubilee of arts and
manufacturing industry—there was none which he
should cherish with greater satisfaction than the fact
that he had been thought worthy of selection to pre-
side over the jury to which was specially committed
that department of the Great Exhibition, which com-
prised the productions of the particular trade over
which that corporation was set. When it was first
proposed to him that he should take that position he
had some hesitation in accepting it. He felt that al-
though he lived in the neighbourhood of that manu-
facture, and had all his life heard much of it, and
looked upon it with particular interest, he had no pe-
culiar knowledge of its details, and that for him to
offer an opinion upon the comparative merits of ar-
ticles produced by the artisans and manufacturers of
Sheffield might be regarded as an act of unpardon-
able presumption. He was told, however, that he
would have efficient and well qualified colleagues, and
he was asked to work with them. He then consented
to act, and he might venture to say, without reveal-
ing those secrets of the jury which he was bound
to keep within his own breast, that he was satisfied,
and he was sure every man who knew anything of the
matter must also be satisfied, that the portion of the
great display furnished by Sheffield fully sustained
the reputation of that town.—(Hear, hear.) That
portion of the products of Sheffield with which the
corporation over which their Chairman presided was
peculiarly concerned proved beyond doubt that there
was no lack of that skill and perfection which had
marked the productions of the town in former years.
While he said this, however, he must add, that in
looking over the articles collected in other parts of
that singular building to which he had referred, he
observed that they were not without formidable coin-
petitors.—(Hear, hear.) This was not to be won-
dered at. In other days, when the continent and tbo
rest of the world were engaged more or less in con-
tinual conflicts, and men were deterred from investing
their capital in, and applying their industry to, peace-
ful pursuits, it was natural that the manufacturers of
England should monopolize the demand. When this
state of things ceased, the result was that their
neighbours in other parts of the world, when they
were set free from the impediments by which they
had previously been harassed, devoted their attention
to like pursuits with themselves, and the consequence
was that English manufacturers had now to contend
with some very formidable rivals. No one
could look at France, the Zollverein States
of Germany, Belgium, or the United States,
without seeing that those countries had made
a most material progress in their manufac-
tures, and that in some cases they rivalled—if they
did not even surpass—the original productions of that
town. He confessed, however, that the fact caused
him no sort of discoinfort.—(Hear, hear.) He could
not doubt that they had knowledge and skill and re-
sources sufficient to enable them to maintain their
position, if they only conducted their operations with
prudence and energy, and he would add also with
honour. He believed no trade of any description
could be expected to flourish or attain its ends, if it
was not supported by prudence and energy, and also
if those engaged in it did not conduct it with honour
and justice.—(Hear, bear.) If, however, these con-
ditions were observed, he saw enough in the Exhibi-
tion to satisfy him that the manufacturers of Sheffield
were still able to maintain that high reputation which
they bad hitherto always poss'essed in their own line.
In spite of the many opportunities which might be
afforded in other parts of the world for the improve-
ment of such arts, they had in this neighbourhood
peculiar facilities with regard to the particular
branch of industry in which they were chiefly engaged:
They had ample command of these minerals which
were essential to their industry; they bad the tra-
ditional skill and ability of their artisans ; they had
that name and reputation which had been so justly
attained by the manufacturers of Sheffield ; but they
had still another and greater advantage than these—
they had hitherto enjoyed a stable and well-
ordered form of governinent.—(Hear, hear.) They
might depend upon it that no business could prosper
unless complete and full security was given for the
employment of.capital in industry. He thought they
were now in a position to confirm all he could have
anticipated of the success of their manufactures, and
he trusted that hereafter they might see, as a result of
the generous rivalry which had been excited by the
singular and memorable events of this year, a still
higher and steadier approach to perfection on the part
of British manufacturers.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
The Mayor of SHEFFIELD then gave " The Members
of the Royal Commission of the Exhibition of Indus-
try of all Nations,' which was briefly acknowledged by
Captain OWEN, who stated that illness or unavoid-
able engagements had unfortunately prevented the
members of the Executive Committee, who had re-
ceived invitations, from being present.
Mr. ATKINS asked permission to read a letter re-
ceived from Lord Canning, chairman of the Chair-
men of Juries, to whom an invitation had been for-
warded by the Master Cutler. The letter expressed
his Lordship's regret that ha was unable to avail him-
self of the invitation, the moreeepecially as he would
have been glad to seize any opportunity in his power
of bearing testimony to the energy, skill, and indus—
try which had marked the part borne by Sheffield in
the Great Exhibition.—(Cheers.)
Mr. J. J. SMITH proposed " The health of Sir T.
White," which was received with great cordiality.
Sir T. WHITE, in returning thanks, said he consi-

dered that the town of Sheffield held a very credlttible
position at the Great Exhibition. When they were
children they had read of the Temple of Solomon, but
he must say he thought that temple was surpassed by
the Crystal Palace.—(Laughter and cheers.) When
they looked at the immense value of the property
forwarded to this country by other nations, he thought
they must take it as the greatest compliment that
could have been paid them.—(Hear, hear.) He would
venture to say, if the Exhibition had been in any
other country, the chances were 10,000 to 1 that, long
before this, the building would have been pulled down,
and that everything in it
allwoud have been demolished
or carried off.—(llear. and ugh.) He had been
informed that the Duke of Wellington had been
treated in a Yery complimentary manner by the
French exhibitors. Some of them were unpacking

two small fizures, one of Napoleon, the other of the
Duke of Wellington. The Duke happened to be
passing, and smiled when he recognised the represen-
tation of himself. The Frenchmen, when they were
aware of his presence, all took off their hats with one
exception, and that man was told to return to France.
Lord WHARNCLIFfE having proposed " Tne health
of the Master Cutler" in complimentary terms,
The MISTER CUTLER, returned thanks, and ex-
pressed a hope that at the expiration of his period of
office his brother cutlers and friends would have no
occasion to regret the confidence which had been re-
posed i❑ him.
Mr. W. F. DIXON gave " The Vicar and Clergy
of Sheffield."

The VICAR, in acknowledging the toast, observed
that, in his opinion, the prosperity of the town de-
pended very materially upon the harmony which ex-
isted between the various classes of the inhabitants ;
and it would be his object, and that he was sure of
his brother clergymen, to labour to produce and pro-
mote such harmony.
Mr. W. OVEREND proposed "The Members fur the
West Riding of Yorkshire."
Mr. E. B. DENISON begged to thank the assembly
for the honour they had done his Hon. Colleague (Mr.
Cobden) and himself, and deeply regretted that his
colleague was not present to discharge that duty for
himself which he felt bound to perform for him. He
wished it to be clearly understood that he accepted
the compliment which had been paid to the Members
of the West Riding jointly and not separately.—
(Hear.) He had the honour of being invited by the
Lard Mayor of York in the course of last autumn to
meet his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and being
called upon to return thanks for the House of Com-
mons he (Mr. Denison) ventured to say that the
operatives and tradesmen of the West Riding of
Yorkshire would not be found wanting with refe-
rence to the Great Exhibition, and that he felt, when
they were called upon, every man would do his duty.
—(Hear.) He then more especially alluded to the town
of Sheffield, and he could appeal, if it was necessary, to
the letter of Lord Canning, and to the testimony of
his Noble Friend (Lord Wharncliffe), to satisfy
them whether he had on that occasion said more than
he was justified in saying. The people of Sheffield
had done well at the Exhibition ; they had done
themselves great credit, and had gained great
honours ; but still they must not fancy they were
superior to all the world.—(Hear, hear.) They
might be assured that he who fancied he had arrived
at a state of perfection was certain to be beaten in the
long run. While they took credit for what they had
done, they should let it be a strong stimulus to future
exertion, and he doubted not with respect to Sheffield
—as he did not doubt, either, with regard to any
other part of the kingdom, or any other trade than
that of Sheffield—that they would still retain their
superiority if they retained their energy and persever-
ance.—(Hear, hear.) As had been said, the world
was open to competition. The race might be severe.
What those whom he addressed had learned, perhaps
other people had also learned within the last six or
eight months, and the information thus acquired they
would take away to foreign countries. It was to be
hoped that, in return, the British manufacturers had
learned much from their foreign rivals, which would
eventually increase their success.—(Hear, hear.) He
believed that, in the end, the Exhibition would contri-
bute materially to the advancement of art and science
and to the benefit of the population of the world. He
did not appear in that assembly as the Member
for Sheffield, but as the representative of the
largest constituency in the kingdom.—(Hear.) He
disclaimed any wish or intention to make any allu-
sions of a political nature ; but he represented, as he
had said, the largest constituency in the kingdom,
embracing the greatest variety of interests. In point
of fact, he thought he might say tint the West Rid-
ing was an epitome of the whole kingdom, for it em-
braced every description of interest, whether of trade
or manufacture, that could possibly be imagined.
He wished, then, to ask this question—what was the
state of the West Riding of Yorkshire ? Was it or
was it not, comparatively speaking, prosperous ?
Was it advancing in wealth, in civilization, in science ?
Were not the working classes of that great commu•
nity enjoying daily increased comforts, compared
with those which they possessed twenty or thirty
years ago ?—(Hear, hear.) If the answer was " Yes,"
he asked to what was this state of things owing ? He
ventured, with great humility, to suggest ,that it was
owing to the commercial policy which was adopted
by that great statesman who took the helm of the
State exactly ten years ago—(Hear, hear, and cheers)
—he alluded to one whom he might be permitted to
call his private and intimate friend—the late Sir R.
Peel.—(Hear.) It was be who, with his comprehen-
sive mind and abundant courage, dared to lay down,
and recommend to Parliament and the kingdom, a
new line of policy, to which he (Mr. Denison) would
make no further reference. He only wished to
call their attention to the fact, and he would
ask them now, at the expiration of ten years,
what had been the result of that policy ? Did any,
man living doubt that it had been of the greatest pos-
sible value to the whole of her Majesty's territories ?
He knew perfectly well that there was one interest
—and he said it with grief and pain—which still la-
boured under disadvantages, but he firmly believed
that that interest, like every other portion of her
Majesty's subjects, would survive those inconveni-
ences, and would become as buoyant as any other
class in the empire.—(Hear, bear.) That that in-
terest had been severely depressed—that it was still
depressed—he acknowledged with grief, but with
sincerity. It was what he feared would be the case
when the great man to whom he had alluded an-
nounced the policy he had determined to adopt. It
had been the will and pleasure of Parliament that
that policy should become law ; and he doubted not
that in a short time the agricultural interest would

rise above all its difficulties, and would be fully as
buoyant and remunerative as the manufacturing in-
terest.—(Hear, (hear.) If, then, that were the case,
had they not much to be thankful for ? There
was not an individual in this kingdom who could not
now make his half-crown go further than it did ten
years ago, or who could not make his 500/. a year go
further than it did ten years since. Who was it
that suffered ? Again, he would say, he admitted
generally the agricultural interest ; but, while he
made that admission, he did so with perfect confidence
that it would survive its distresses. Having the
honour of being one of the Members for. the West
Riding it was almost his duty to speak out on such
occasions as the present. He must call their atten-
tion to The fact that pauperism had decreased, that
crime had decreased, and that morality had increased.
—(Hear.), , He trusted that while they had among
them stickmen as their present vicar, religion, and
aldng wi t morality, would increasa-in Sheffield,—
(Hear, hear)—and he rejoiced to know that clergy-
men like the vicar were much more generally met
with now than they were five and twenty years ago.
Without their assistance and support, however, the
vicar would be able to do but little; and he ventured
respectfully to tell them that it was as much the duty
of laymen to promota the morality and religion of the
working classes as it was the duty of the clergy to
.giva them spiritual advice.—(Heara hear.) He con.
gratulated them upon the prosperous condition of the
West Riding, of Sheffield, and of the country gene-
rally ; and be hoped no retrograde movement would
take place, but that if he had the honour of addressing
them again he might he able to congratulate them
upon still further progress.—(Cheer.)
Mr. T. DUNLI gave "The Members for the
Borough."
Mr. PARKER, in acknowledging the compliment,
said he thought the best course on such occasions as
the present was to abide by the old rule, and to con-
fine his observations to a reciprocation of personal
kindnesses, avoiding those topics which appeared
better suited to another arena than to the convivial
hospitalities of the cutlers' feast at Sheffield. When
proper opportunities came—as corns they must—he
would not shrink from advocating those principles
which he maintained, or from defending his past
conduct. He would always be prepared to defend
what he had done, and to give reasons for the faith
that was in him—(Hear, hear) but he thought
when gentlemen met together for convivial purposes
the best plan was to act upon the old rule observed at
the cutlers' feasts, and to confine themselves to hos-
pitalities alone.—(Hear, hear.) Agreeing, as he did,
with observations which had been made be might,
however, congratulate them upon the fact that there
never was a period when they enjoyed greater pros-
perity than at present. Reference had been made to
the Great Exhibition, and of this he was certain—
that, whatever the jurors might decide, the cutlery of
Sheffield would maintain its place in the markets of
the world. What might be done with regard to the
Exhibition by his superiors in the Government, and
especially by one of those to whom he owed
ouecdalld not
undertake Chancellor of the Exchequer—he
undertake to say.—(Laughter.) How great were the
troubles of the Chancellor when he had a surplus,
those only who had witnessed them in the House of
Commons could conceive.—(Laughter.) Numerous
and fierce had been the contests and struggles for that
surplus.—(Renewed laughter.) He would, however,
venture to congratulate the Commissioners for the
Great Exhibition upon having a surplus, and he
trusted they would not encounter greater difficulties
in appropriating it than had been experienced by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer for the last two or three

[PRICE SD.

sessions, when be had to deal with the same singular
phenomenon.—(Laueliter.) Whatever the appropria-
tion might be, he (Mr. Pallier)
was quite sure it
would redound to the honour of the Commissioners,
and he hoped it might have some coanexion with the
foundation and endowment of schools of design
throughout the country.—(Hear, hear.) That was,
in his view, the appropriation most consistent with
the original design of the undertaking, and one
which he thought would cause it to be remem-
bered by posterity with the greatest amount of grati-
tude.—(Hear, and cheers.)
Mr. Roenuce: said he thanked them most sincerely
for the honour they had done him, because he was
convinced when his countrymen saw that one in whom
they placed such trust as the people of Sheffield re-
posed in him had no interest at heart but theirs, and
that he applied his whole mini, his feelings, and his
intelligence to the discharge of his duties, whatever
differences there might have been at first, when they
were satisfied that such a man was hearty end true,
and that he sought only the public good, they were
his friends.— (Hear, hear.) lle had done his duty as
he thought he ought to do it. He had gained nothing
by so doing.—(A. hiss)

He pitied the man who
hissed.—(A. cry
He had done- of "Sn
his duty as he thought he ought to
do it. If he had acted wrongly in their estimation,
the time would come when they might express their
disapproval of his conduct, but in that convivial meet-
ing he would be sorry to intrude personal considera-
tions.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to see that har-
mony prevail to which reference had already been
made, and he would tell them one broad and
leading principle which would conduce to such
harmony—a full, a fair, a candid, a judicious appre-
ciation of every man's conduct, motives, and doings,
before they came to a judgment upon them. One
topic which had been alluded to by the Rev. Gentle-
man who had addressed them was, he believed, of the
highest possible importance to that town. The Rev.
Gentleman had spoken of the harmony of the town of
Sheffield. Now, he (Mr. Roebuck) would say with
that Rev. Gentleman, that harmony was the great
object of this country. They had now security of
person, of property, and of education ; but they must
not hide from themselves the fact, that there was be-
neath them, as there was in Europe, a boning caul-
dron of anarchical ideas—(Hear, hear)—and their
object should bo to mould those ideas by a crucible
which would reduce them to a beneficial form and
substance, instead of throwing them wild among
society to produce results the most deplorable.—
(Hear, hear.) He begged to thank them for the
honour they had done him in drinking his health.
The " Magistrates of the West Riding " having
been proposed by Mr. T. R. BARKER, and acknow-
ledged by Mr. OVEBEND,
Mr. Roenuce. rose and said ha had to propose as
a toast, "The Mayor and Corporation of the borough
of Sheffield," and he did so with great gratification,
because in this, which might be called the lower
grade of government, the real government of this
country consisted. They learned, by managing their
municipal concerns, to conduct the business of the
nation.—(Hear, hear.) There never was a greater
mistake in this world than to fancy that any else was
born to govern.— (Hear, hear.) If they lifted men
up for their capacity, as shown in the government of
a municipality, to govern the country itself, they
would find thet the capacity which was equal to the
management of municipal concerns could extend
itself to the general departments of the national
government. They might take his word fur it that
there was as much true downright capacity on
their municipal bench as—with all respect to his
Hon. Colleague (Hr. Parker) be it spoken—adorned
the Treasury bench itself.—(Hear, hear, and laugh-
ter.) Twenty years of his (Mr. Roebuck's) life bad
been passed in watching, scanning, understanding
that capacity, and he had just seen as much good,
thorough, downright, honest power of government on
the bench of a municipality of which he bad thorough
cognizance, as he had seen among the Right Hon.
and Hon. Gentlemen who occupied the Treasury
bench. He was glad that his countrymen were thus
assiduous in conducting their own business, and he
would say to them—" Carry the habit one step
further; make the government of the country your
business, and I shall be delighted to see you conduct
it."—(Hear, hear.)
" The Borough Magistrates" and several other
I toasts were afterwards given, and the party separated
soon after eleven o'clock.

CARD-CHEATING CASE AT BRIGHTON.
Yesterday an application was made to the magis-
trates at Brighton, to receive bail on the part of the
prisoner, Henry Nottage, who was committed on
Monday last, on a charge of perjury, arising out of
the proceedings in this case.
Mr. Sill, of Tavistock-row, who attended as before
for the prosecution, admitted that he had received
notice that Mr. Moss Phillips, of No. 1, Beaumont-
street, Mile-end-road, licensed victualler, and soda-
water maker, and Mr. William Potter, of No. 37,
Great, Pultenty-street, Golden-square, builder, would
attend that day, to justify as bail for the prisoner
Nottage.i

Mr.—Seale, as the representative of Mr. Roeson, 221
Southampton-street, Strand, priioner's attorney, pro-
ceeded to say that be had a medical certificate of the
inability of Mr. Moss to be present in consequence of
illness, and he therefore applied that the other party
proposed as bail, Mr. Potter, should be permitted to
enter into his recognimncei in 500/., instead of the
required sureties of 250/. each.

A similar application had been previously made by
Mr. Lewis on behalf of Broome to be admitted to bail,
which application had been refused.
Mr. Potter was then sworn, and stated that he was
a builder, and resided at No. 17, Great Pultney-streer,
Golden-square; that he was worth 500/. alter pay-
ment of his just debts; that his stock in trade was
worth 5001. or 6001. ; that he was possessed of lease-
holds worth 500/. ; and that he had book debts owing
to him to the amount of 9400/, or thereabouts. He
candidly admitted that the prisoner Nottsge was
almost a stranger to him, that Mr. Bryer, of the Ar-
gyll Cassino, had requested him to become bail, and
that Mr. Brier had agreed to indemnify him for
doing so.
The examination having concluded,
The Magistrates consulted for a short time ; after
which

The Chairman said, that they were of opinion that
Mr. Potter's bail ought to be accepted.
Mr. Carpenter added, that he would go over to
Lewes gaol, and would there take the recognisances
Mr. Potter and of the prisoner Nottage.
The proceedings then terminated.

ST. ALBANS BRIBERY INQUIRY.
The commissioners appointed under the act of last
session to inquire into the practices at elections in the
borough of St. Albans, Mesers. Slade, Q C., Forsyth,
and Phinn, have appointed Mr. L. H. Fitzgerald, of the
Western Circuit, as their clerk for the conduct of this
inquiry, which they have fixed to commence at St. Al-
bans towards the middle of October. The mayor and
corporation ha'o placed the Guildhall at their disposal,
and proffered every assistance in the coneuct of the in-
vestigation. On the Ist of November the Now Law of
Evidence Act will come into operation, and the parties
themselves on whose behalf the alleged bribery took
place can be examined. The words of the second ace-
tion of the last mentioned Aot are, " On the trial of any
issue joined, or of any matter or thing, or on any in-
quiry arising in any suit, action, or other proceeding in
any court of justice, or before any person having, by
law or by consent of parties, authority to hear, receive,
and examine evidence, the parties thereto, and the per-
sans on whose behalf any such suit, action, or other
proceeding may be brought or defended, shall (except
in eases of adultery or breach of promise of
marriage) be competent or compellable to give evi-
dence, either virtu voce or by deposition, according to
the practice of the court, on behalf of all or either of
the parties to the said suit, action, or other proceeding."
By the 16th section " Every court,judge, justice, officer,
commissioner, arbitrator, or other commissioner, now, or
hereafter, having by law or by consent of parties autho-
rity to hear, receive, and examine evidence, is hereby
empowered to adminiAer an oath to all such witnesses as
are legally called before them respectively.', Under the
St. Albans Bribery Act the Commissioners may inquire
retrospectively into the existence of bribery at St. Albans,
and in particular as regarded the last election, either for
voting or refraining from voting; and they aro to give
" the names of all persons whom they than find to Lave
given to others or have received themselves payments by
way of head money, or as a reward for giving or refrain-
ing to give their votes at such election." The Act pro-
vides that porsoes implicated in bribery who may be
examined and make a lull disclosure shall be indem-
nified, but they are not to be indemnified
unless they shall have a certificate from the Commis-
sioners. The Commissioners have power to send for
persons and pipers, and to examine on oath. For non-
attendance and refusing to be sworn, the Commissioners
will possess the same power over the witnesses as the
superior courts. The reports of the Cominiseioners are
to ,be laid, before Parliament.—Essex Standard.

A:COCKROACH 1N TROUBLE.
Although cockroaches abound inconveniently at the
_Mauritius, it was not without pity that I saw them
consigned,
as they frequently were, to a living grave,
by a wicked looking ins ct much resembling a Spanish
fly. It was impossible to witness his proceedings,
combined with Lis glittering blue and green dress,
without imagining tne elfish demon of a pantomime
leading an innocent victim to perpetual entombment
in some haunted cavern. Let the cockroach be mov-
ing never so briskly across the wall, he has no sooner
caught sight of the fatal insect—not a quarter of his
siza—than all energy haves him, and be stands stu-
pidly resigned. The fly then walks up to him, looks
him hard in the face, and presently, putting forth
some apparatus which stands him in place of a finger
and thumb, gently
takes the cockroach by the nose,
and leads him daintily along for a foot or two. Lea,-
ing him there, he commences a thorough exsmina.
