NEWS FROM TEHERAN.

TEHERAN, Sept. 7.—1 have already apprised yen
that the Turcomans had broken their engagement
not to enter the district of Merwi in a hostile man-
ner, and also to abstain generally from bri-
gandage in Persian territory. With a swarm of
nearly ;0,000 horsemen, however, they broke into
and overran the district in question, pillaging and
making captives on all hands. They even threat-
ened to extend their ravages into Khorassan ; but
to prevent this, and signally punish them once for
all, Prince Hamza Mirza, the Commander-in-Chief
in the latter province, marched rapidly on them
from Sarax with a division of 10,000 infantry, 4,000
cavalry, and a strong force of artillery, calculating
that from their great numbers they would show
fight. Nor was he mistaken. On Aug. 27 he arrived
before Merwi, and, although the Islamites do not, if
possible, attempt any important affair in the month
of Sefer, the Prince determined at once to attaek
the Turcomans. The combat commenced at day..
break and lasted nine hours. Notwithstanding seve-
ral dashing charges of the infantry, under the com-
mand of Gen. Mourtusa than, it was the artillery
under the Prince (who carried with him the
m Im-
perialan s
werestan dtahrrdo)wwnh o
intoutter
decidedfu the day. The Turco-
sion, and took
to flight in complete disorder, hotly pursued by
the Persian cavalry. The plain ofMerwi was covered
with between 3,000 and 4,000 bodies. The detailed
bulletin of the battle has not yet reached us, only
A great number of prisoners were captured,
the general official account,._ which. we have received
soine ot the chiefs ; also some thousands
camels, arms, and standards fell into the
includingto-ay
Persians hands. The loss of the latter was consi-
derable, a large number of officers being among the
of horses,
killed and wounded. The General of Brigade Sartip
All Kouli Khan, who at the commencement of the
action commanded the artillery, was mortally
wounded, and although alive when the account was
despatched, he was not expected to survive many
hours. The town and district of Merwi have been
completely occupied by Prince Mirza. The bridge
over a river which falls into the Mourgab, a
most important stragetical position, has also been
taken,
and is now held by the Persians. At Mes-
ched, the capital of Khorassan, which was also
threatened by an invasisn of the Turcomans, there
was a great popular demonstration on the occasion
of the news of their defeat. The town was illumi-
nated and fireworks let off as in honour of some
great national event. The Prince Commander has
determined strongly to fortify Merwi and to make
it a strong military post. The name of the town
has also been changed to Nazire, in honour of the
Shah. The Shah has been stopping for some time
at his summer palace of Chimarn, but is expected
to arrive here in a few days to take up his resi-
dence for the winter. His return to the capital has
been hastened in consequence of the approach of the
feast of Mewlud, which will be observed as usual
by his Majesty in the capital. There is no other
local news worth reporting.

ALIMENTARY AND MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF
CONDIMENT.—As to the alimentary and medicinal action
of Thorley's Condiment, it improves health and economises
food, and promotes healthy digestion, preventing the gene-
ration of gases and waste of food. It also enables cattle to
extract more nourishment from feeding materials than they
otherwise could do, and fatten more evenly, while, by im-
proving health, it at the same time reduces the daily waste
of the body. These are facts, supported by the Lancet, Dr.
Hassan, and the best scientific authorities in this country
and America.
EXCITING RACE._ Last week there was a most
exciting race in the Strand between a fire-engine ands
Pickford's van. The former had the start, but was soon
caught up by the latter. The pace for about ten minutes
was terrific—N,,, might almost say, killing—but ultimately
the Pickford's van won by a good couple of stteets. Only
five children and two old women were thrown over, fifteen
apple-stalls upset, one costermonger's donkey seriously in-
jured and not expected to survive, besides an old gentleman
and a commissionaire, who were carried to the hospital, and
lay in a very precarious state. The winner was taken to
the station-house, and weighed in the scale of justice, where-
upon some little. irregularity being detected, he was

DEATH OF A CHILD FROM NEGLECT.—Last
evening an inquest was held at the Jacob's Well, kept bg
Mr. Betts, in Milton-street, City, on the body of a child
named Dempsey, aged six months, whose death was alleged
to have been caused by neglect. It appeared that the
parents of the child (residing in Phillips-court, Milton-
street) led a most unhappy life, and that the mother had
left her borne in consequence of ill treatment by her hus-
band. In leaving her home the mother left her child, and
the consequence was that the child received no milk. The
evidence went to show that the mother had been subjected
to gross usage by her husband, and that she had been
prevented from giving that sustenance so necessary to the
nourishment of a child. The medical evidence was to the
effect that teething might have caused the death of the child.
The learned Coroner, in
summing up, said it -vas to be de-
plored that dissensions between man and wife should exist.
It was clear that if the woman had appealed to the police,
or even her neighbours, she might have had the child to
nurture, but she had not taken these steps, and her conduct
had been culpable in the highest degree. The foreman of
the jury, in giving the verdict—to the effect that the child
died from convulsions, brought on by the causes assigned
by the medical gentleman—conceived that the mother de-
served severe censure, and that the father had acted most
cruelly. The Coroner remarked that it was lucky the jury
had returned such a verdict. He had to remark that the
fact of a man, his wife, and mother-in-law sleeping in the
same room was gross immorality, inevitably leading to
crime. The mother then retired.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 2 per mile premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.15 per £ sterling. On comparing these rates
with the English mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short
exchange on London is 13.4 per £ sterling. Standard gold
at the English mint price is, therefore, about 4-10ths per
cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of
exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty days'
sight is 1081 per cent., which, when compared with the
mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is against Englanc: ; but, after making allowance
for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre-
sent rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold be-
tween the two countries.
MAILS FOR SMYRNA, CONSTANTINOPLE, T.REB/..
ZONDE, &C., BY FRENCH MEDITERRANEAN PACKETS.—
In consequence of an alteration which has been made in
the arrangements of the French Mediterranean packet
service, mails for Smyrna, the Dardanelles, Constantinople,
and Trebizonde, intended to be forwarded by the French
packets from Marseilles, will be made up in London, in
rature on the evening of eve Thursdaonl The every

mand of the Postmaster-General, RewLAND HILL, Score-

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31 ispo ,

THE BRIBERY COMMISSION.

13ERWICK-UPON-TWEED.

This morning the Royal Commissioners appointed to in-
(*re into the circumstances relative to the election of
13ersick-upon-Twe2d, assembled in Committee Room
No. 11.

The first witness examined was Mary A.l'Denald—She
said she recollected the election at which Mr. Hodgson and
Mr. Majoribanks were candidates. Since the election she
had become the wife of John M'Donald. On polling day
she was engaged in attending customers at the Woolpack
Inn, Berwick, which was kept by her father. She recol-
lected a room to which there was an entrance from
the yard. She saw Joshua Patterson in the yard
several times. She on the same day saw Mr. Gall
in the yard about 12 o'clock. She also saw M'Gall talking
to a person named Waite. She supposed it was about the
state of the poll, because they had papers with figures upon
it. About one o'clock she saw M'Gall in the cellar. There
were chairs there. The witness was then examined at great
length with respect to the positions occupied by several
parties while they were in the cellar, and as to the number
of persons who entered the cellar after one o'clock. She
could not say whether they wont in singly or in a body,
She could not say whether the door was closed when they
went in. About two o'clock she saw Waite there. Did
not have any conversation with any of the parties. I did
not hear that tho people were in the cellar or in the house
for the purpose of receiving bribes, She did not hear that
M'Gall had been bribing the voters. She could not say
whether she heard that M'Gall had been bribing in the
house after the poll closed. It was stated in the parlour
some days after the election that M'Gall had bribed seve-
ral persons. She was well acquainted with several freemen of
Berwick. Some of the persons, whose names she could not
mention, were freemen. There were a great many freemen
at the Woolpack on the day of the election. She might h 97,0
changed some gold, or £1 notes, on that day, but cou'A not
now recollect. She was gsnersk paid in silver for the

regular customer at the Woolpack. She did not recollect

money for his vote. had heard that some persons had
received bribes, Miller was one of the names mentioned.
She knew Robert l'Queen and John M'Queen were there
the day mentioned, the latter of whom was in the kitchen
of the Woolpack. From the many times she had occasion ,
to go to the cellar on the day of the election, she believed
that M'Gall was in there from about twelve to three.
Mr. Alexander Brodie said he was a military traveller
for Messrs, Culter and Son, outfitters, Hanover-street.
Previous to entering that service he was sergeant saddler
to the Ist Dragoons. He was dismissed the service for pre-
venting a duel at Canterbury. After dismissal he came to.
London, and was engaged as foreman of the saddlery at
the War Department, Weedon. He ocoupied that position
about two years, but he was dismissed from that post because
he had shown up the abuses that existed in that establish-
ment. He was examined before the Weedon Commis-
sion. He was not aware that the Commissioners had
placed very little reliance on his evidenee. He had
seen the report of the inquiry, and was thoroughly dis-
gusted with it. Mr. Selfe had expressed himself highly
with respect to his conduet. After dismissal, he thought
he was ill -used, and he exerted himself with influential
persons to get his wrongs redressed. It was very shortly
after dismissal he eaw Mr. Disraeli. He had an interview
with that gentleman about his wrongs. It was about
three months before he came into power. He saw
him more than once before the change of Government.
The only object he had in view was the redress of his
wrongs. Mr. Disraeli seemed to compassionate his (wit-
ness's) situation, and promised he would have an inquiry
into it when he got into power. Witness ilaw Mr. Disraeli
more than a dozen times, relative to his ill-treatment. Ge-
nerally saw him at his own house. Had met him in the
street. He thought that from what Mr. Disraeli seemed
disposed to do he should receive some compensation, or a
Government appointment, He was in the habit of attend-
ing in the lobby of the House of Commons to see the mem-
bers about his wrongs. On the 14th of April, 1859, he saw
Mr. Disraeli in the lobby of the house. It was in the even-
ing, but he could not recollect the hour. .To the
best of his belief it was about eight o'clock. He had not
previous to that seen Mr. Nicoll. He did not know he was
in the ceatral hall. Mr. Disraeli, when he came out of the
house, turned to the left and went to the library. He saw
him (witness) and said " Ah ! Brodie, what are you doing ?"
He told him he was waiting to see Sergeant Gossett. He
(witness) followed Mr. Disraeli to the lobby. He told him
to follow him. He was about two yards from the door
when Mr. Disraeli spoke to him. He followed Mr. Disraeli
to a little room on the left, just by the side of the library.
He remained with Mr. Disraeli about a quarter of
an hour. We talked together as we went down the lobby,
but it was not on the subject of his (witness's) wrongs.
We talked about Berwick, and he then told him that he
(witness) had some friends there. Mr. Disraeli said Mr.
Earle was going there. We had no other conversation on
that occasion. My uncle and cousin, whose names are
Brodie, reside there. They are publicans and small
farmers. Previous to the election he (witness) had been to
Berwick on business. He could not say his relatives
were voters for Berwick. He had a great many friends in
Berwickshire. The uncle and cousins he had spoken of
reside in the town of Berwick, but he had a great many
friends who resided out of the town who had votes—not
for the town, but for the shire. He had no reason at
that time to look upon Mr. Disraeli as his friend'. His sen-
timents changed about a month previous. He (witness)
fancied that his claims had not been attended to. The
circumstance that had produced the change was that, hav-
ing left his papers at the Chancellor's office for examina-
tion, he had them returned without having been opened.
Mr. Disraeli asked him if he could be of use to Mr.. Erle at
Berwick, and he said he would see what he could do. He
told him he had relatives at Berwick, merely because he
thought it would be of use to the Conservative party. Cer-
tainly no other reason. He supposed their votes and influence
would be of use to the Conservative party. He remembered
that he had just stated that his sentiments towards Mr.
Disraeli had changed. He had teen the memorandum just
put into his hand. It was given to him by Mr. Disraeli.
[lt was merely an envelope with Mr. Rose's name and ad-
dress on it.] It did not contain a letter when he (witness)
received it. Mr. Disraeli gave him the envelope in the
little room just referred to, or by the door, he could not be
certain which. Mr. Disraeli told me to go and give it to
Mr. Rose, he would know it was his handwriting, and that
would be quite enough. lie said Mr. Rose would give me
money to go and get votes.
Chairman—Where ?
Witness—At Berwick-upon-Tweed or Frome.
Chairman—You say Mr. Disraeli used those words?
Witness—Yes. He said it would put £5O in my pocket,
as he wanted to give me a turn.

Chairman—Htid you requested a memorandum, similar
to the one produced, to be given to you; or was it Mr.
Disraeli's spontaneous act ?

Witnes—l can't be sure about that. I have told as near
as I could recollect all I knew about Berwick. I don't re-
collect that there was sometlin,g said about my being em-
ployed as an election agent or canvasser of electors. I will
swear Mr. Disraeli di:a not say so when he gave me the
envelope to take to Mr. Rose ; all he said was, that I was
to get votes.

Chairman—Did you tell Mr. Disraeli you knew who
would take bribes at Frome and Berwick P
Witness—Not at Berwick.
Chairman—Did you tell who would at Frome
Witness—l said I thought I could find out who would
at Florae.

lor. I cannot answer all these questions without looking
at my notes. I may say something that ty commit my-
self. I have only one desire, and that is ti) tell the truth.
[The Chairman directed witness to answer without refer-
ence to his papers.] After the interview I t old Mr. Disraeli
what Mr. Rose had said, and hg:: replied it was quite right,
tax., cautious. I must have P'een. Mr. Disraeli sometime k:,itirt
I cannot say positively 'when. I saw Mr. Rose &out a day
after I saw Mr. Disraeli at his residence in Vilfroria-street. I
told him I had seen Mr. Disraeli, and he /-..ad told me he
would explaill to him (Mr. Rose) that -I
was in his confi-
dence. lir. Rose told me Mr. Disraeii had spoken to him
aka me, and that if I came the leit day he would get
Me a place ready, as he thought F
,erwiek-upon-Tweed and
Frome safe. This conversation
took place when I had the
second interview with Mr. Rr
ese. Mr. Rose, on the occa-
sion referred to, said he d'Al, not know that I was in the
Chancellor's confidence; I. went to see Mr. Rose the next
day. He told me corns, every lay until he had got a
place ready for mr,. I did so. I did not get any place. I
did not get any money. Mr. Rose never told me how it
was I did not get either place or money. I was in the employ
of Moser!,. Cutler at this time, and I was enabled to
inalv:: these repeated ells at Mr. Rose's, owing to having
business to transact at Westmjnster. I was constantly
passing up and dawn Victoria-street. It was not a part of
my employment to cr.ll at Mr. Rose's. I abstracted the
time from them for 'the parpose of furthering the ends of
justice. If I had received the appointment to go to either
Frome or Berwicl, I should have had leave to go from the
Messrs. Cutler,
At the ceuclnsion of this witnesses examination, the
committee adjourned.

THE -.RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST,

GEORGE S-IN-THE-EAST.

MR. ROSIER'S APPEAL (THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Bodkin, the Assistant• Judge, and a Bench of
Magistrates at Westminster.)

MR. ROSIER (APPELLANT) V. G. P. ELLIOTT, ESQ., A
METROPOLITAN MAGISTRATE (RESPONDENT).

This case, which has excited great attention, involving as
it does important principles both of law and fact, came
before the court this morning, sitting at the Guildhall,
Westminster, a large number of the leading parishioners
being present.

Mr. Poland appeared for the appellant. The respondent
was represented by Mr. Metcalfe, who, on the outset, ob-
jected to proceeding with the case on the ground that,
under the Act, the case ought to have been tried during the
last sessions. He objected also that the notices were in-
formal and fatal to the case.

Mr. Bodkin, on lo•king to the act of parliament, said he
could not entertain the objection, and must overrule them.
The case was then proceeded with, the facts being as fol-
lows :—On the 19th of July last Mr. Rosier was charged
before Mr. Elliott, who was then sitting temporarily at the
Thames Police-court, on a summons taken out by the Rev.
T. D. Dove, of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, assistant
curate of the parish of St. George's-in-the-East, charging
him with having, on the previous Sunday, in the parish
church, and during the celebration of Divine service, male
a disturbance. The summons expressed that the defendant
" did unlawfully molest, let, disturb, vex, and trouble the
said Thos. Dove Dove, a clergyman, in holy orders, minis-
tering in the parish, church of St. George during the cele-
bration of Divine service." The summons was issued under
the 2d clause of the now act, 23 and 21 Vic., cap. 32, which
imposes a penalty, not exceeding. £5, or imprisonment with-
out the option of paying a fine, not exceeding two months.
The evidence went to show that Rosier, who was foreman
to a clothier and pawnbroker, carrying on business in St.
George-street, better known as Ratcliffe Highway, was put
forward by a party in St. George's parish in opposition to
the rector (the Rev. Bryan King) and his church services.
He occupied a pew near the reading-desk, and said the re-
sponses very loudly, so loudly, indeed, that Mr. Church-
warden Thompson went to him and requested him not to
make so much noise, when he turned round and sharply
exclaimed, " Don't interrupt me, sir," and continued his
loud reading. Tho churchwarden then called in the police
and had Mr. Rosier removed. In the course of his judg-
ment on the ease Mr. Elliott referred at some length to the
act which had been passed only 16 days previously, and
said he was of opinion that every rector or incumbent of a
church or chapel had a right to prescribe the mode of cele-
brating Divine service, and whether it should be a
church seiNiee or otherwise. If a clergyman thought fit to
order that tfte response should be sung, and people read the
responsesin a loud voice in order to prevent the saying of
them as directed by the minister, that was an offence
within the meaning of the act. It was of opinion that the
defendants and others by reading the responses loudly
wished to prevent the saying of them, and did in adopting
that course, disturb, vex, and trouble the minister. lie
therefore lined the defendant £3, and against this decision
Mr. Rosier gave notice of appeal—a right of appeal given
by the act to the general or quarter sessions, on due notice
to that effect being given.

Mr. Poland said he had.to submit to the Court that Mr.
Elliott's conviction was informal, and void at law on the face
of it. Tha conviction failed to state that the offenee
charged wi.3 contrary to the statute made and provided.
Another objection he had to urge, but it did not state
when the fine of £3 should, be paid. For anything
to the contrary stated in the act the penalty might be paid
in 20 years. Mr. Elliott sentenced Rosier to a pecuniary
fine (AD, and in default of payment to 14 days' imprison-
ment in the House of Correction. The imprisonment he
held could not be inflicted, no time having been mentioned
for,the payment of the penalty. Another objection he had
to urge was, that under the act no power was given to a
magistrate to send a person to prison in default of his pay-
ing a pecuniary fine. Upon these grounds he urged that
the conviction was bad and ought to be quashed.
Mr. Metcalfe argued that the points urged were of no
legal importance, and that it ought to be inferred that the
magistrate only gave the persons convicted a reasonable
time for payment. The statute did not fix the time, and
the magistrate did not therefore state the time in the con-
viction. The magistrate was the judge of what was rea-
sonable time, and he clearly had the power to carry out the
sentence.

Chairman—Then you did not tell who would take bribes P
Witness—No. It was merely a passing conversation.
Chairman—The words about going to Mr. Rose and
getting the money, wore they used at the door of the little
room ?

Witness—Yes.
Chairman—And the envelope was given to you while
you were in the room ?

Mr. Bodkin said he had a strong opinion that there was
some force in the last objection.

Mr. Metcalfe said the objection had come upon him by
surprise, and expressed a hope that the case might be ad-
journed in order that he might look into the matter.
After some further conversation, the conviction was
quashed, the Assistant-Judge remarking that he hoped
such a case would not occur again.
The proceedings then terminated.

Witness—Yes.
Chairman—Did he know that you were in the employ of
the Messrs. Cutler ?
Witness —Yes .
Chairman—You left Mr. Nicoll's service; in which you
had previously been on good terms ?
Witness—Yes ; quite so.
Chairman—You gave the envelope to Mr. Nicoll imme-
diately after you left Mr. Disraeli ?

Witness—Yes.
Chairman—Did you present yourself to Mr. Rose the
next morning ?

Witness—Yes ; I went about the middle of the day.
The Chairman hero observed the witness was referring
to some papers, and desired him to close them.
Witness—l should like to refer to these notes, or I may
make some mistake.

Chairman—You must answer the questions withon
doing so.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TI1I8 DAT.)

Witness—Vary well. I went to Mr. Rose's. I had seen
that gentleman repeatedly at the chambers. Whilo I was
at Mr. llose's I saw Sir William Jolliffe. Mr. Whitmore
then shook hands with me.

Chairman—What, on Friday the 15th ?
'Witness—l'll not swear to the date. I will swear I saw
several of the clerks on the day I went after I got the enve•
lope from Mr. Disraeli. I went upstairs. I now think I
went on the Saturday also. I can't say whether I went
more than once that day. I saw Mr. Rose on that occasion.
I saw Mr. Rose in the private room. I told Mr. Rosethat
I was in the Chancellor's confidence, and he told me to
come and get money of him to go to Berwick-upon-Tweed
and Frome. Mr. Rose said he must see the Chancellor
about it, and directed me to come to-morrow. I said to-
morrow would be Sunday, and he then said I mean Mon-

day. Nothing further took place between us on
that occasion. I did not tell Mr. Rose I had
received an envelope of memorandum from Mr. Disraeli.
I had had conversation with Mr. Rose once before in Down-
ing •street. I mean I once asked him if Mr. Erle was in,
and on the other occasions I have wished him good morn-
ing. As far as I know he did not know my name. I had
never told him. I went to Mr. Rose's on the Monday.
told him the money I was to receive from him was to get
votes. I told him so the first conversation I had with him.
He said he would do nothing till he had seen the chancel-
