PENALTIES.

The Commissioners of Inland Revenue hereby give notice,
that every person taking, killing, or pursuing. Game without
first obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also
liable to be surcharged in double the amount of the Certifi-
cate duty.
Any person in pursuit of Game refusing on being duly re-
quired to produce his Certificate, or to permit the same to be
read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his
true name and place of residence, also incurs a penalty of £2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a Certificate at
the rate of £1 7s. Od. will not authorise any person to kill
Game beyond the limits of the Manor for which he is deputed;
and, in order that a Certificate at such rate of duty may pro-
tect a Gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be
deputed by some Lord or Lady of a Manor or reputed Manor,
but also that such deputation should be registered with the
Clerk of the Peace, or the Gamekeeper will be liable to be
surcharged in double the Duty of £4 Os. 10d. and also to be
prosecuted by any common informer for the penalty of £2O.
N.B.—lt is the intention of the Commissioners of Inland
Revenue to publish in a separate List the names and resi-
dences of all persons surcharged in double Duty for sporting
without Certificates.

HART'S PATENT ECONOMISING GAS
BURNER, the great desideratum of the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.

THE ELECTIONS.

The Ministry have gained many victories in the
electioneering contests, but none more signal or
satisfactory than those we record to-day. The
seats they have gained in yesterday's contests have
a value far beyond their mere influence in a divi-
sion : they mark the confidence reposed by the
wealth and intelligence of England in the States-
men who now direct the policy of the country.
South Lancashire has thrown off the yoke of an
arrogant clique, and returned two gentlemen who
really represent its opinions. The nominees of the
Bright faction have been defeated in their own
head-quarters. The division of Lancashire, which
may fairly be called the capital of manufactures and
commerce, which includes within its limits Man-
chester and Liverpool, has declared its adhesion to
the Ministerial side, rejected Messrs. Cheetham
and Heywood, and placed two strong supporters of
Lord Derby at the head of the poll. Ministers
gain two seats by this change ; but, important
as that gain is, this declaration of the great
centres of manufactures and commerce in
favour of the Government is the great result of
the contest. We have another triumph to note in
South Essex. Mr. Watlington has beaten the
former member, Mr. Baker, by a large majority, in
spite of the extraordinary exertions of the friends
of the latter gentleman. Nor is the result of the
contest in Huntingdonshire, although making no
alteration in the strength of parties, uninteresting.
At the last election, Mr. Heathcote, the Liberal
candidate, who has been defeated by a majority of
some hundreds, ran Mr. FelloWes so close that the
Sheriff made a double return, and a committee of the
House of Commons had to award the seat. Lord
John Russell appeared on the stage to no purpose ;
his nominee has been thoroughly beaten. We take
it as the first of a good many rebuffs the noble lord
will meet with in his new campaign. The county
contests have begun well. We hope to tell as
favourablb a story to-morrow ; meanwhile we leave
Whigs and Radicals to explain, as best they can, this
declaration of some of the largest constituencies of
the kingdom in favour of the present Government.—

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY OF VALUABLE SILK DRESSES.—James liol-
lett, of 10, Little Portland-street, employed as a porter at
Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's, silk. mercers, &c., 272,
Regent-street, and Maria Hollett, his wife, were charged
before Mr. Bingham, by Inspector ?ethers of the E divt-

sion, with stealing a quantity of silk dresses of the value of
upwards of £6O.

Lambert, 68 E, said from information he received he went
to Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's, 272, Regent-street, and
there saw the male prisoner, and told him he was suspected
of stealing silk and other articles to a large amount, and
asked him where he resided. He said at first, Hollings-
worth-street, Holloway, but afterwards said in Little Port-
land-street, with a cousin. He (Lambert) asked him if it
was not his wife, and he then admitted it was. He told
him he must consider himself in custody for robbing his
employers, and then went with him to Little Portland-
street, accompanied by Inspector Tethers, and on seeing his
wife told her that her husband was charged with stealing
silk dresses, and asked if he had brought any home. She
said none whatever, and that she .had no duplicates. He
(Lambert) then told her that he must search the place,
and in a chest of drawers he found silk dresses, cloaks, and
other property.

Inspector f'etliets said he also found several articles, and
three duplicates for silk, pledged for sums of £3, £2 10s.,
and £2.

Mr. George Roberts, assistant to Messrs. Sowerby and
Tatton, identified a brown satin dress produced as being in
stock in his department about the 14th of April, and the
other property he believed to belong to the firm. The pri-
soner had been in their employ about 14 months as porter,
and had access to the department where the property was
taken from.

The male prisoner asked whether he might be admitted
to bail. The dresses never belonged to Messrs. Sowerby
and Co. They were presents made to his wife before her
marriage.

Mr. Roberts said four of the dresses alone were worth
X34--one of them (a brown satin one with a handsome
brocaded skirt) being worth 181 guineas, which had been
consigned to them from a Lyons house.
Mr. Bingham—Then certainly not the dress to be worn
by a porter's wife.

Lambert here produced a large box full of property found
at the prisoner's lodgings,
_ _

Mr. Bingham said, in remanding the prisoners, that he
should decline taking bail for either of them.

TO THE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX WORTHY
AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF TAUNTON,
MY HONOURED SUPPORTERS.

GENTLEMEN, —I deeply thank you for having
in my person, as a Ballot Candidate, so effectually pro-
claimed to your fellow-countrymen the existence of a large
amount of sterling principle and patriotism in the constitu-
ency whichfee youfo fgiatlsoo
ao importantfoenafpaart.
opponents in the
field (one of them having the strong ties of something like
thirty years' representation, another a twelve years' connec-
tion)—with no canvass, no books, no solicitors, no committee,
no favours--with no machinery whatever but PitINCIPLE
and the POLL—well, indeed, may we exult at having num-
bered two hundred and fifty-six votes out of a voting consti-
tuency of about 700. We stand proudly alone in the country
for the noble example we have given.
Although defeated, it may be fairly questioned whether the
elected candidates are in so exalted a position as that in
which you have placed me. In my person you have redeemed
the damaged reputation of the constituency, and raised it to
an elevation which your countrymen will applaud, from one
end of the kingdom to the other.
Such defeat unerringly points to FUTURE VICTORY.
All honour to the Constituency of Taunton ! Who will talk
of its disfranchisement now ?

Ever your grateful friend and neighbour,
WILLIAM BEADON,

Otterhead, 30th April, 1859. - -
It is well known that Mr. Labouchere's majority would
have been considerably larger had he been a supporter of the
Ballot. He was freely told on his canvass by many of his old
friends that they would have had much greater pleasure in
voting for him had he been in favour of that measure.

TIIIS DAl'.)

ROLLS COURT.
(BQfore the Master of the Bolls.)
MOTION BY ORDER-BISHOP V. CLARK.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls prdered plaintiff
and defendant, and their witnesses, to appear in court and
be orally examined and cross-examined on their affidavits
produced in this case.
It appeared from the examination of the plaintiff's medi-
cal attendant, that he was confined to bed in prison with
pulmonary consumption and inflammation, and was unable
to attend.

Mr. Draper was examined to prove the payment of £2O
by plaintiff to defendant.

The defendant, Mr. Clark, was also examined. It ap-
peared from his evidence that he supplied the plaintiff with
clothes, to the value of £lB Is. 6d., on August 13, 1858, and
aftewards advanced money to him at 10 per cent. interest,
to the amount of £lB5, for payment of which a mortgage
security was ultimately taken, the validity of which is the
subject matter of this suit. On cross-examination it was
elicited that he had been twice through the Insolvent
Court, and a bill of sale was granted on his stock in trade.
He advanced the money out of his ready money business.
He did very small business on credit.

Mr. Tyson, oil merchant and drysalter, formerly an
attorney's clerk, prepared and attested the mortgage deed
in question. Mr. Bishop informed him that defendant had
paid him the money, and desired witness to hand over the
mortgage security to the defendant, Mr. Clark, which he
did. Plaintiff did not pay him a bill for £3O, which was
agreed to be paid him for his trouble in the business.
His Honour said he would consider the evidence before
giving judgment.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS.

A case of a rather peculiar nature transpired this morning
in open court, although the matter had been the subject of
an arrangement under the Private Arrangements Act. The
petitioners had made a proposition to pay 10s. in the pound
by two instalments, the first at the end of two months, the
remainder at the expiration of four months, the last to be
secured by three sureties. Petitioners were ready to pay
the first, and asked protection for the remainder of the
period. - The original protection granted by Mr. Commis.
sioner Goulburn was renewed.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE BURKE-THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

In this case the bankrupt, who had carried on business
as a hat manufacturer in the Old Kent-road, was appointed
one of the trade assignees of the Royal British Bank, but
having become involved with Charles Woolterton, also a
a bankrupt, he came before the court. The accounts, by
Mr. T. S. Cooper, show but a small amount of debts and
liabilities on the, bankrupt's private account. An adjourn•.
meat was taken by consent.

IN RE H. J. CAMERON.

In the case of this bankrupt, who was the manager of
the Royal British Bank, a new assignee was chosen, and
Mr. Taylor, one of the assignees of the bank, was ap-
pointed.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
THE BOOKBINDING TRADE.-WILSBY V. LEWIS.

This was a summons to recover a fortnight's wages in
ieu of notice. -

Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant.

Plaintiff stated that he had been employed by the de-
fendant at certain wages, which had been reduced, as he
agreed to go in for a constant situation.

Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, said that plaintiff was only
employed upon a certain job, and that it was customary in
the bookbinding trade to take in a man for a job, and to
dismiss him as soon as it was finished.

Plaintiff said that might be so, but in this case he was
employed at a lower rate of wages than those usually paid to
jobbing men ; and he accepted etch wages on condition of
having constant employment, and the notice contingent
upon such a situation.
His Honour gave plaintiff a verdict.

THE BATE OF DLSCOUNT.

took place last Thursday. The charge, therefore,
is now 41 per cent.

the third would be a suicidal sacrifice, and could

ground for particular apprehension in any of these
respects. Our own expenditure for defensive pur•
poses is likely to produce a greater effect, but the
extent to which it will be counteracted by the reten-
tion of those surplus means usually devoted in ordi-
nary times to distant investments is very great. We
have the light of recent experience to aid our conjec-
tures on the entire question. During the two months
preceding the declaration of war against Russia in

LORD PALMERSTON AT TIVERTON.—The eldest
daughter of Mr. John Sharland, one of his lordship's com-
mittee, came of age on the 29th, the day of the election, and
a bottle of very old Irish whisky, which had been presented
to her at her birth, was to be opened on that day. On the
circumstances being mentioned to his lordship, he at once
proceeded to the residence of Mr. Sherland, accompanied by
several of his friends, where in the presence of a select
party who were celebrating the event, he drew the cork,
filled the glasses, and, in a complimentary speech, drank to
the health of the young lady. His lordship honoured the
party for some time with his presence, and, after respond-
ing to the toast of Lady Palmerston, he took his leave.—

"--In a speech at the
" SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN.
Liverpool Amphitheatre a few evenings since Mr. Horsfall,
M.P., told the following story :—When in Staffordshire, a
very short time ago, four seamen came to the door—at least
four men who represented themselves as seamen—and said
they were in great distress, having been shipwrecked off Hull.
I went to speak with them, as my sympathies are, and I hope
they always will be, with seamen. (Hear, hear, and ap •
plause.) As soon as I
i saw them I knew that one was a sea-
man ; but, as we say n Lancashire, I saw with half an eye
that the otherthree were " hail, fellows, well met," picked up
on the road. I said—" I am very sorry to hear of your acci-
dent ; what vessel were you wrecked in p" They said—
" The Elizabeth." I told the seaman to stand where he was,
I told the first of the other three men to go 10 or 15 yards to
the right ; the second to retire 10 or 15 yards to the left .
sad the third man to stand off in the front. Well, they could
not tell what I was after, and I went quietly up to one and.
said, " I am very sorry to hear of the Elizabeth being lost ,
what was the captain's name ?" " Jones" wastttehdetheepl I went to the next, told him I exceedingi rf

THAMES.

AN INCORRIGIBLE SAUCY OrFENDmn.---Mary Hillyer,
a woman about 30 years of age, was brought bafore Mr.
Yardley, charged with robbing her ready furnished lodgings.
Honor Martin, a widow, of No. 61, Limehouse-cause-
way, said the prisoner and her husband had been living in
a ready furnished apartment in her dwelling for several
weeks, and she had reason to believe the prisoner had been
continually pawning the goods, and indulging in her pro-
pensity for strong drinks with the money she raised upon
the property. On Wednesday evening the prisoner
took out a pillow, and witness then went
into the room and missed other things. Yes-
terday the prisoner's husband asked where the
sheets were, to which the witness replied, " I suppose they
are on the bed." The husband said they were not on the
bed, and that his wife must have taken them away. Soon
afterwards the prisoner came home intoxicated, and upon
charging her with making away with the property, she
went outside of the house into the street, picked up some
stones and other ,Aissiles, and deliberately smashed the win-
' dows. She then sent for a police-constable and gave the
prisoner into custody.

The prisoner, in her defence, said sho had only taken
one sheet out of the room, and that she had given to a
woman to pawn, and intended to redeem it this day.
Mr. Yardley—ls she a drunkard ?
Mrs. Martin—Yes, sir, continually drunk
The prisoner—Whenever I got drunk it was along with
you.

A young woman here stepped into the witness -box, and
said the prisoner had paid her a visit and stolen a cotton
dress from her.

Mr. Yardley directed the police to ascertain what had
become of the cotton dress, and the property stolen from
Mrs. Martin's house, and remanded the prisoner.
A police constable —The prisoner has been convicted
before for plundering her ready furnished lodgings.
Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is remanded until Thursday
next.
