MELTON MOWBRAY-FEB. 21.

There was a short supply of wheat to-day, with a quiet
business at the annexed prices :—White wheat, new, 46s
Od to 48s Od; red, 40s Od to 44s per 36 stone; barley in
fair supply, at. 35s to 45s for malting, and 28s to 32s per

possession of a field, and Irving was put into his
place. He should also prove numerous cases of treat-
ing, which was done principally by non-voters,
through whom public-houses were thrown open to
voters and non-voters indiscriminately, and the bills
were paid by the agents on the part of the sitting
members. Mr. Monsey, the solicitor to Sir James
Graham, also gave breakfasts ; and he had no doubt
that he should be able to prove that such gross
bribery and corruption had been carried on by the
agents of Sir James Graham and Mr. Lawson as
would justify the committee in declaring the last
return for the borough of Carlisle to be a void
election.

The return, and auditor's list of expenses for the
last election having been produced by Mr. Naylor,
the Clerk of the Crown Office, and Mr. Walter
James, _

John Macpherson was called, and stated that he
was a voter for Carlisle. He was employed as fore-
man on the works of the Silloth Raiiway, about 13
miles from Carlisle. He was waited upon by Mr.
Anderson, an agent of the sitting members, and
solicited for his vote, but he said he could not go to
the poll unless his expenses were paid, and also the
wages of three men and two boys, who could or
would do no work during his absence. Several let-
ters reached him upon the subject, those letters
being without any signature, but they came from
Mr. Anderson, and at last he went to Carlisle, and
saw Mr. Lawson at his hotel. Before going into the,
room, Mr. Anderson said his party would allow all
expenses. He voted for Sir Jas. Graham and Mr.
Lawson.

Another witness gave evidence to a similar effuct,
and the committee adjourned.

WEYMOUTH.

This committee met yesterday to try the merits
of a petition presented by Col. Freestun, one of the
unsuccessful candidates, against the return of Lord
Grey de Wilton and Mr. Brooks for the borough of
Weymouth—Mr. Egerton in the chair.
The petition set forth that at the last election for
the borough of Weymouth there were four candi-
dates, viz., Col. Freestun and Mr. J. R. Campbell

(the late members), and Viscount Grey de Wilton
and Mr. Brooks. The result of the poll was—Brooks
341, Viscount Grey de Wilton 340, Col. Frioentun
311, and Mr. J. R. Campbell 296. It was alleged
that the result had been arrived at by bribery, by
which influence certain electors were induced to re-

frain from voting for the petitioner; and, fuxther,
that there had been offers to lend, or promises to
give, money for voting, or to procure offices, places,
and employment in consideration of such voting ;
and it prayed that the last election for Weymouth
might be declared null and void.
One or two witnesses were called in sup port of
these allegations, and the committee adjourned.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. Commissioner Fane was the Commissioner of the
day, but the cases during the morning were uninteresting.

took place. It was a second bankruptcy within a short
period. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the petition and was
appointed solicitor to the assignees. In re Cahn.—This

vertisements inserted in a periodical conducted by plalntig.
The case had been adjourned in order that a person named
Hodson might be called as a witness.
Mr. Beard, for the plaintiff, produced the subpcena, anf,
Hodson was duly called. Upon his not appearing,
Honour asked Mr. Beard if he was going for the pensitYo
but that gentleman hardly thought it worth while.
Mr. Buchanan then said that had Hodson attended
the case would not have occupied the Court ten minute/.
Hodson had received the money for all the advertisement)/
advertised by defendant.
His Honour found for the defendant, with costs.
ALLEGED PUFFING AT A SALE.-IMPORTANT DECISION,
In the case of Samuels v. Myers, tried yesterday beford
a jury, it appeared that this was a new trial, and the csei
arose out of some green snail shells imported by the plaile
tiff from Penang, and sold at a public sale in Mincing-10d'
Mr. Atkinson, for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lewis, for the
defendant, agreed upon the admitted facts; and Mr. LeWil
added, " and it is admitted that plaintiff's son attended and
bid at the sale." 4
His Honour—That would come under the term "pufnaii
Mr. Atkinson said this was quite new ; but Mr. I.l°
said he made a feature of it on the last occasion.
Mr. Atkinson then proceeded with the case, and eg d,
two witnesses, the last of whom, in cross-examination, A
mitted that plaintiff's son bid at the sale. _

Mr. Lewis then submitted the sale was void. -
Mr. Harrison then mentioned a case argued in the °;
chequer Chamber, where it was decided that " if a sale -0
advertised as without reserve, and the seller or any Per°
on his behalf bids at the sale, the same is illegal." tha

ROSCOMMON.

This committee assembled iiai; morning--Mr. Dunlop
in the chair.

Mr. O'Malley, Mr. Phinn, and Mr. O'Dowd were coon•
sel for the 'petitioners ; and Sir F. Slade, and the Hon.
Mr. Bourke appeared fur the sitting members.
Mr. O'Malley, in his opening statement, said the peti-
tion alleged bribery and treating. Col. French polled 1,890
votes, Capt. Goff 1,541, and Mr. Tenison 1,280. Against
Capt. Goff, it was alleged that his agents had engaged
every attorney, every house of entertainment, and not only
every car, but a great number of " car owners" were
created for the purposes of bribery ; inasmuch as numerous
payments for " car hire" were made to persons who had
no votes, and no cars. The sum thus expended amounted
to £1,150 for the conveyance to the poll of 1,540 voters,
many of whom resided close to the polling booths.
The witnesses for the petitioners are very numerous, and
the inquiry will, it is expe,cted, extend over a considerable
period.

GREAT YARMOUTH.
The committee assembled this morning—Mr. Phillips in
the chair.
Charles Botright, a cabinetmaker, residing at Yarmouth,
said, shortly after Sir E. Lacon's address was out, a person.
named Borroughs called upon him, and after talking about
the election, said he waited upon him to vete for Sir $•
Lacon and Stacey. Borroughs had formerly had always
been on the opposite interest, and he (witness) called him •
turn-coat. He was one of Stacey's committee. Smiths
another stir porter of Lacon and Stacey, also solicited him,
and told him to vote for Lacon and Stacey, as there was
" sugar" in the way.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
receiving the usual report for the past half-year,
and for the election of directors in the place of those
retiring in conformity with the terms of the act of
Parliament.
Our readers are of course familiar with the dis-
sensions that at present exist in the company, and
it was anticipated that the proceedings would not
be of the most favourable description. Shortly
after the business was opened the struggle com-
menced between the supporters of Mr. Love, one
of the retiring directors and chairman of the com-
pany, and Mr. Waddington, who is a candidate for
one of the vacant seats.
After a long personal discussion, in which the
claims of Mr. Love and Mr. Godson, the retiring
directors, and of Mr. Waddington and Mr. Gamble,
the new candidates, were very freely discussed, the
meeting agreed to the adoption of the report, which
of course carried the dividend.
The election of directors, the most exciting part
of a very excited meeting, was then proceeded
with.
For Mr. Love nearly every hand appeared to be
held up, and he was declared by the Secretary,
who put the motion, to be elected unanimously.
Against Mr. Godson there were eight or ten
hands held up. The meeting very emphatically
declared against Mr. Waddington and Mr. Camp-
bell, neither of whom demanded a poll, notwith-
standing the immense exertions they had made to
secure their return.

The Times has been suppressed throughout the
Austrian Empire. The copies which arrived by post have
been seized, and it is proclaimed that the erring journal
will no longer be suffered to seduce Austrian subjects from
their allegiance.
A definitive prospectus has been issued of the
Great Northern Palace Company, with a capital of
£600,000, of which £lOO,OOO will be in EEO shares, and the
remainder in debentures. The promoters point out that the
population of the north side of London is more than
1,500,000 • that the building will be directly accessible
from a station of the Great Northern line, without the
fatigue of a long ascent ; and that the estate, which con-
sists of about 450 acres, will admit of 300 acres being let on
lease or sold for the erection of villas.

possession of a field, and Irving was put into his
place. He should also prove numerous cases of treat-
which was done principally by non-voters,
through whom public-houses were thrown open to
voters and non-voters indiscriminately, and the bills
were paid by the agents on the part of the sitting
members. Mr. Monsey, the solicitor to Sir James
Graham, also gave breakfasts ; and he had no doubt
that he should be able to prove that such gross
bribery and corruption had been carried on by the
agents of Sir James Graham and Mr. Lawson as
would justify the committee in declaring the last
return for the borough of Carlisle to be a void
election.

The return, and auditor's list of expenses for the
last election having been produced by Mr. Naylor,
the Clerk of the Crown Office, and Mr. Walter
James,
John Macpherson was called, and stated that he
was a voter for Carlisle. He was employed as fore-
man on the works of the Silloth Raiiway, about 13
miles from Carlisle. He was waited upon by Mr.
Anderson, an agent of the sitting members, and
solicited for his vote, but he said he could not go to
the poll unless his expenses were paid, and also the
wages of three men and two boys, who could or
would do no work during his absence. Several let-
ters reached him upon the subject, those letters
being without any signature, but they came from
Mr. Anderson, and at last he went to Carlisle, and
saw Mr. Lawson at his hotel. Before going into the
room, Mr. Anderson said his party would allow all
expenses. He voted for Sir Jas. Graham and Mr.
Lawson.

Another witness gave evidence to a similar effect,
and the committee adjourned.

WEYMOUTH.

This committee met yesterday to try the merits
of a petition presented by Col. Freestun, one of the
unsuccessful candidates, against the return of Lord
Grey de Wilton and Mr. Brooks for the borough of
Weymouth—Mr. Egerton in the chair.
The petition set forth that at the last election for
the borough of Weymouth there were four candi-
dates, viz., Col. Freestun and Mr. S. R. Campbell
(the late members), and Viscount Grey de Wilton
and Mr. Brooks. The result of the poll was—Brooks
341, Viscount Grey de Wilton 340, Col. Freestun
311, and Mr. J. R. Campbell 296. -It was alleged
that the result had been arrived at by bribery, by
which influence certain electors were induced to re-
frain from voting for the petitioner; and, further,
that there had been offers to lend, or promises to
give, money for voting, or to procure offices, places,
and employment in consideration of such voting ;
and it prayed that the last election for Weymouth
might be declared null and void.
One or two witnesses were called in support of
these allegations, and the committee adjourned.

The
shots from the 12-pounder Armstrong gun
fell, within a range of 2,465 yards and 2,495—a
difference of 30 yards ; with the Whitworth gun in
the last four shots (with the same kind of powder),
the difference was only 29 yards, while the total
range of the Whitworth gun had exceeded that of
Sir Wm. Armstrong by 612 yards, the figures being
3,107 yards as against 2,495 yards. This of course
was an important success.
Yesterday a large number of gentlemen, in-
cluding General Pennefather, Admiral Grenfell,
Captain Mends, and several other naval and
military gentlemen, were present. The firing
commenced with the 3-pounder. Ten shots were
fired with the 3-pounder at an elevation of 3
deg., with seven ounces of powder and a 211 b. shot,
sighted at a post 1,000 yards distant. The 12-
pounder was then fired five times, with 111 b. of
powder, at an elevation of only 2 deg., at the same
line. At Mr. Whitworth's suggestion, the company
then walked up the sands to the westward about
2,300 yards, in order to see the ricochetting of the
shot, five of which were fired at 10 deg. At that
distance the missile was clearly seen to graze the
ground, and then to rebound several times Wore it
came to rest. The 80-pounder was next brought
to an elevation of 10 deg., and fired four times.
This was the highest angle at which it was pitched,
consequently its extreme range was not tested.
The practice concluded with the 3-pounder, raised
to an elevation of 20 deg. The wind wts from the
westward, but there were different currents at dif-
ferent elevations, which rendered it difficult to
make accurate allowance for its effect. So far as
intelligence was received from the recorder of the
firing, the practice was very satisfactory, especially
with the 12-pounder.
Mr. Whitworth, before leaving, stated that it
was not his intention to test the 80-pounder fur-
ther, as he intended to make a trial for the Govern-
ment of the effect of one of his shot on a 4-inch
iron plate. The greatest distance yet attained
from which such a plate could be pierced was 250
yards. He felt confident by his gun it could be
done at 600 yards. It ought to be stated that his
80-pounder is upwards of 1,5001 b. less weight than
the ordinary 68-pounder in use by the Government.

ROSCOMMON.

This committee assembledthis morning—Mr. Dunlop
in the chair.

Mr. O'Malley, Mr. Phinn, and Mr. O'Dowd were coun-
sel for the petitioners ; and Sir F. Slade, and the Hon.
Mr. Bourko appeared for the sitting members.
Mr. O'Malley, in his opening statement, said the peti-
tion alleged bribery and treating. Col. French polled 1,890
votes, Capt. Goff 1,541, and Mr. Tenison 1,280. Against
Capt. Goff, it was alleged that his agents had engaged
every attorney, every house of entertainment, and not only
every car, but a great number of " car owners" were
created for the purposes of bribery; inasmuch as numerous
payments for " car hire" were made to persons who had
no votes, and no cars. The sum thus expended amounted
to £1,150 for the conveyance to the poll of 1,540 voters,
many of whom resided close to the polling booths.
The witnesses for the petitioners are very numeroue, and
the inquiry will, it is expected, extend over a considerable
period.
