CITY OF LONDON‘

At four o'clock the poll books were closed—the Guildhall
was instantly crammed.
Mr. Alderman WOOD came forward, and was hailed with
loud cheers, which lasted several minutes, which having sub-
sided, he said--My very good friends, you have been true to your
cause, the cause of liberty—l had no doubt of it from the begin-
fling. I was sure that you would place the four Reformers in
that station upon the poll which would enable us to show to the
country that we are the choice of the livery and electors of the
City of London—(Cheers)--and whatever may be the
charge which has been brought against us, as being
persons not likely to render service to our fellow
citizens and the country, I think, if the state of the
poll were to be examined, it would be found that the true
Qonservativeshave placed us there. I shall not detain you,
because to-morrow I shall have a better opportunity of ad-
dressing you, when the declaration of the result is made. At
this moment, I believe, the Reformers are fourteen hundred
a -head.—( Immense cheering.) We are now complete as to
our victories—you have triumphed, and you deserve my best
thanks, and those of my friends, who I may now fairly call my
colleagues. I will endeavour to repay you by promoting your
interests and those of the country iu the most strenuous man-
ner.—( Cheers. )
Mr. GROTE then came forward. and was greeted with the
most enthusiastic cheers. Ile said—Gentlemen, I want
words to express thi! joy and triumph with which the spectacle
I now f3eF before me impresses me. You have to eongratil_
!ate each other on the triumph, not of one individuP_l over
another, but of the great and sacred cause of Reform,
and good government.—( Great cheering.) I trust that
the result of this election, and, the feeling which
it has excited throughout this vast metropolis will be actively
conveyed to the Duke of Wellington, in order that he may
understand the extent of the re-action there is._( Cheers. )
The cause of Reform, in this important juncture, owes its
triumph to the free and independent exertions of the
honest electors, in spite of every effort, both of bribery
intimidation.—( Cries of " No," and " Yes.") I rejoice that
we have nothing to stain our triumph—no one vote but those
which were unbought and unfettered.—( Cheers.) The ex-
ample you have set in the event of this day, will
fly like lightning throughout the country, and will excite,
as I trust, the same determined spirit of liberty and re-
form throughout all the other towns of this kingdom—
( Cheers.) I shall detain you no longer now, as the time
will come to-morrow to ex.prc>fo my sentiments more fully ;
but I must ;',;;.ply, briefly, and most sincerely return
1,4 it'll expression of my gratitude, and also congratuAto y,on
on the victory your courage has achieved.
Mr. ',TALI, Olt coming forward was assailed with loud
groans and hisses which coantnucd throughout his address.

LYNN REGIS (NORFOLK.)

• The history of the election for this borough savours somewhat of
romance. Briefly, thus it is—Lord W. Lennox, one of the late
representatives, for some reason not very clearly explained,-retired.
A candidate was therefore to be caught; and, if possible, one who
should be acceptable to the Corporation, 'whatever he might be to
the people. Their liggers were foro4with laid out, having been
previously baited with certain contlqions of political neutrality, and
such like small fry, one of whiela liggers was thrown by Lord George
Bentinek himself (the Corporation candidate). within reach, as it
was hoped, of the Hon. Major Keppel, who, however, if not too old
a soldier, was, at least, too sound a politician to swallow the buit.
In fact, the noble Lord did not even get a nibble; so, taking up
his line and re-baiting the hook, he went to a more likely spot, and
fished up Sir Stratford Canning. Meantime; the Reformers had
had the insolence to suppose that they ought to have been consulted
in the matter ; and, unknown to their opponents, had written to
this very Major Keppel, as a decided Reformer, whom the opposite
party had thought to ensnare as a milk and water politician. The
letter, unfortunately, was delayed on the road, and in the absence
of any reply from the Major, Sir John Scott Lillie was applied to,
who came down and instantly commenced his canvass. To return
to Major Keppel—no sooner did he receive the Lynn letter than,
anxious to defend himself from the least taint of half-and-halfism,
which Lord George's application might be supposed to have created
in the minds of some, down he posted, and in a plain, manly,
straightforward statement, exposed the whole affair. His conduct
won for him "golden opinions from all sorts of men." Having most
triumphantly vindicated himself from the charge of political ialcon
sistency, he should decline to take any part in the present et-retest :at
the same time pledging himself to come forward on 'ltte first va-
cancy. And there can be no doubt whatever that )fis manliness on
this occasion, and, above all, his high character for . political inte-
grity, will on a future occasion secure him that ',ire-eminence which
that character, and that integrity so vi

BURY ST. EDMUNDS.

Tuesday was the nomination day. Mr. Odes, amidst much
cheering, proposed Earl Jermyn, He was seconded by Mr.
Bevan. Mr. Merest proposed Lord C. Fitzroy, seconded by
Mr. John Ridley. Mr. Eagle proposed Mr. Bunbury, which
was seconded by Mr. Leech. On the show of hands, the
,;:fction was declared to have fallen on Lord C. Fitzroy
and Mr. 13.pnbury. The poll will be taken,on Thursday and
Friday.
London, England, 1835-01-08

I am a friend to the Ballot, as experience has convinced me that
elections under the present mode of voting cannot be conducted free
from the influence of power and intimidation.
I do not consider the present Rate-paying Clauses in the Reform
Act as a fair criterion for enfranchisement ; I am, therefore, an ad-
vocate for their Repeal.
I consider the Tithe System most pernicious, whether taken in
connection with religion, or with the interests of the country ; and
I shall, therefore, seek the Abolition of Tithes by a fair commuta-
tion,
I cotiader tha Corn Lawi.a"Landlord's monopoly,and am,-there-
fore, for their gradoorlAtr•early and certain repeal.
I consider the present'state of the Irish Church to be an abase
which demands instant redress, and I maintain that the sur-
plus Revenues, after supplyino• the spiritual wants of the Protestant
population, are at the disposafof Parliament.
I consider it both unjust and impolitic that any civil distinctions
whatever should exist on account of religious opinions. I wish,
therefore, to have all the grievances of the Dissenters immediately
redressed, more particularly their exclusion from the Universities,
and liability to Church Rates in any shape whatever.
I shall take ever occasion to assist in doing away with flogging
in the Army and Navy, a species of torture which ought to be un-
known to the English laws.
I am for the Reform of Corporations, and for giving the people
the periodical Election of their municipal officers.
I am for a Revision of the Pension List. _ _

I shall always urge the severest economy in the public expendi-
ture, with a view to relieve the industrious classes of the commu-
nity from those taxes which press so injuriously upon them, and
particularly from the Window Tax.
Finally, the character and composition of the present Ministry,
whose names are now before you, leave no doubt on my mind that
they must oppose all measures of real and efficient reform. I
shall, therefore, think it my duty, if elected your Representative,
to give the present Ministry any uncompromising and unqualified
opposition in Parliament.
With gratitude for the "...cordial manner in which I have been
already received, I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant,
HENRY WM. HOBHOUSE.
No. 11, Pall-mall, Dec. 31,1334.
London, England, 1835-01-08

begged to state most emphatically that be never had any
conversation with Spankie in India on political matters in the
whole course of his life. --( Much uproar, in the course of which
some rotten eggs and other materials of a somewhat similar
nature were thrown at Mr. H., and which struck some of the
gentlemen on the hustings.)
Mr. WAKLEr came forward and said, if any more were
thrown they should strike him.
Mr. HoeuousE said, he regarded the Learned Sergeant as
a rank Tory, and would refer them to his address, in which he
asserted that he would support the present Administration, and
that he believed the stability of the Crown and the House of Lords
was in danger. More arbitrary and Tory maxims he ( Mr. H.)
had never read, although he called himself a reformer in order
to get their votes. He, Mr. Hobhouse, had been charged
with inconsistency ; but he referred them to his public conduct
as th e strongest denial of that charge. In conclusion, he
would say, that if they would send him to Parliament, he would
give the Tories every opposition in his power.—( Another
shower of missiles was here let fly, under cover of which the.
Hon. candidate retired.)

The Returning Officer put the nomination of the Candi-
dates to a show of hands.

For Mr. Sergeant Spankie two hands were held up.
For M. Duncombe, all, and great cheering.
- For Mr. Wakiey, all, and great cheering and waving of hats.
For Mr. Hobhouse, four or five.
The Officer then declared Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley
duly elected.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of both the other
candidates.

Mr. DIiNCONIBE then came forward to return thanks, and
expressed a hope that they would give practical effect to their
wishes. If they were really anxious to do so, they woull
b..st show it by crowding to the poll as early as possible.
Mf. WAKLEY then came forward, amidst loud cheers, and
&so expressed a hope that the electors would kasten to the pull.
The crowd then separated peaceably, after giving several
cheers for Duncombe and Wakley.
We cannot close this report without observing, that the ar-
rangements at the election for the accommodation of the
Reporters, were much better than any we have met with at
any other election, for which we belive we are in a great mea-
s.are indebted to the gentleman who erected the hustings-111r.

BODMIN.

JAN. s.—The following is the state of the poll :—Major
Vivian, 124; Sir T. S. Spry, 108—both Reformers ; Lord
Elliot, 74. The Reformers are already safe, as the total
number of voters is but 270. This is victory the first in Corn-
wall, and a glorious one it is. The Tories, both here and
through their organs in London, boasted that they were quite
sure of their man ; but these are not the days when rotten bo-
rough owners have a chance against the people.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 7.

DEFEAT OF THE TORIES.
Final Close of the Second Day's Poll :
John Bonham Carter, Esq 644
Francis Thornhill Baring, Ecq.
Admiral Sir Charles Rowley
C. Napier, Esq:
335
The above is a great victory ; it is impossible to imagille or de-
scribe the arts, the bribes, the threats, intimidations snd promises
that have been made to induce voters to come forward to support
the Lord of the Admiralty ; the Navy has sometimes been called a
rope of sand, but in this election they have belied the application--
their exertions have been unheard of, and how they are all to be
rewarded, Sir Charles Rowley will have a difficulty to find; it is
quite clear he cannot give them all ships or employment, or promo-
tion, but this they will all hasten him for. At he close of the
polling, nearly, or quite 10,000 persons were assembled in St.
George's Square, and the several candidates. expressed their thanks
in few words, but the noise was so grey„ that few could hear them,
and in half an hour the place `:,,as cleared of the populace. To.
morrow, at nine o'clock, the -Returning Officer will declare the votes
from the polling books of his own clerks, at which time the several
candidates will be heard more at length. We cannot close this ac-
count without doing justice to Dr. Quarrie, and he having a tole-
rably good pair of lungs, was well heard. He said, " I hope and
request, if I have any influence among my brother electors, that
they will take a piece of advice, and it is from this moment to shake
hands with each other, the laurel with the blue and orange, and
both with the union—to forget that you have been opposed to each
other yesterday and to-day, and Ict there be no enmity or disputes
among us till the next election," The worthy Doctor was loudly
cheered, and his good-humoured mode of expressing this sentirnestt
had a very good effect. The laurel was worn by the supporter:,
Carter and Baring ; the blue and orange by the
Rowleyitos, and of
the
union by the partizans of Napier.

EXETER ELECTION.

TUESDAY, JAN. 6.--The polling has been conducted with
the greatest spirit throughout the day. Sir William Follett
has run a-head from the beginning ; and no efforts have been
spared by his party to keep him in that position. There is a
large gathering of the Liberal leaders in Exeter to-day, among
whom are Lord Ebrington and the Hon. Newton Fellowes,
The honest-hearted friends of the cause are much distressed at
the success of Sir W. Follett ; but till the church and corpo-
rations be reformed, a city like Exeter must always run the
risk of stultifying itself by neutralizing the votes of its repre-
sentatives.

GLOUCESTER (CITY).—NOMINATION.
TUESDAY.-The nomination took place yesterday ( Monday),
and we never witnessed so crowded an assemblage on any simi.
lar occasion. The four candidates were proposed in the fol-
lowing order :—Mr. Phillpotts (Reformer) proposed by Mr.
W. 'l'. Washbourne, seconded by Mr. James Lloyd ; Mr.
hope ( Conservative) proposed by Mr. Goodrich, seconded by
Mr. T. Davies ; Captain F. Berkeley (Reformer) proposed
by the Right Worshipful the Mayor, seconded by Mr. J. W.
Walters ; and Mr. Cother, proposed by Mr. Wintle, seconded
by Mr. Shiptun. The several candidates having addressed
the electors, a show of hands was called for, and dr.s.Ziared by
the sheriffs to be in favour of the Blues, Messrs, Hope and
Cother. On the whole, the meeting was more peaceable end
orderly than we hate oftentimes witnessed. This morning the
polling commenced at nine, and was carried on with tolerable
spirit till four o'clock.

TO LADIES Purchasing Articles of Dress for
Winter Wear, or Goods for Domestic Use, an opportunity
to purchase advantageously is now presented at " ALLISON and
EDWARDS," Regent House, 240, Regent-street. The Stock
consists of the following, viz.:—
CLOAKS of the newest styli of pattern in Cashmere, Silk,
Satin Torque, &c. &c.
SHAWLS, British and Foreign, many of which are prize speci.
mens of the celebrated Lyons Manufacturers, Chapusot and Tarde
veau, and at surprisingly low prices.
MERINOES, British and French, which, notwithstanding the
high price of wool, A. and E. are selling love than at any former
period.
SILKS of all kinds, from 9d. to Is. 6d. per yard less than the
present wholesale prices; this reduction is owing to the late unpa-
ralelled depression in the mercantile world.
IRISH LINENS, Sheetings, Table Linen, Huckabacks, &c. &c.
equally cheap.
FIGURED VELVETS of the richest description ever made, at
4s. 9d. per yard, being only one-third of the original cost price, and
adapted for Cloaks, Dresses or Pelisses.
ALLISON and EDWARDS beg to observe that their motive
for not quoting prices generally arises from a determination to pur-
sue a plan that shall by no means disappoint the most sanguine
economist, feeling assured the quality and low prices of all their
goods is a sufficient guarantee for a second visit.

HIGH ,;'Y COMB. JAN. 8.

111 e short, but sharp contest for tMs borough commenced and
esnued yesterday ; when the two former members, the Hon. R.
maerlith, and the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Grey, second son of Earl
y. Were returned. The influence of the Tories, in order to
Prevent the return of the son of the late venerable Premier, was
perhaps never more unduly or energetically exerted than on the
Present
" occasion. . In proof of this, amongst numerous facts (un-
..a"Sarjr at present to detail) it may be remarked, that there was
ti: a single voter, living near the village of Penn, which is chiefly
the
Property of Lord Howe, who polled for Colonel Grey. The
,oPendent electors, however, in spite of this, and the open and
snateeless attempts at bribery (twenty pounds having in many
cases been offered for a vote) succeeded in returning the relative
of a
whose name will for ever be dear to all true reformers.

KING OF THE BELGIANS.

Mr. ROBINSON wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet
at the head of his Majesty's Government, whether, since last
session, when he brought the subject before the House, any
money had been paid into his Majesty's Exchequer on account of
the income of Prince Leopold, the present Kin.- of the Belgians,
and if there had what was its amount? The Hon. Member
also wished to know whether the Right Hon. Baronet would
have any objection to lay the amount so paid in officially ou
the table ?

Sir R. PE EL said that a payment had been made into the
Exchequer, he believed, to the amount of 4,0001. He under-
stood that more was ready to be paid in, and the only reason
it had not, was in consequence of the absence of some of the
trustees. He had every reason to believe that an arrangement
would shortly be made for having regular payments made.
Mr. ROBINSON was so dissatisfied with the statement
made by the Right Hon. Baronet, that he should submit a
motion to the House for an account of the monies that had
been paid in.
Mr. HUM;; thought that considering the circumstances
stated by the Right Hon. Baronet, the Hon. Member (Mr.
Robinson) ought not to bring the motion before the House
that day, but give notice for some specific time.
Sir R. PEEL believed that it was only in consequence of
the absence of some of the trustees that a much larger amount
had not been paid into the Exchequer.
Mr. ROBIN SON said his only motive was to ascertain the
amount that had been paid in. He was willing to adopt any
course the House might think convenient ; he would therefore
give notice of his intention for that day to move an ad-
dress to the Crown, praying that his Majesty would be pleased,
to order that an account should be presented of the guns paid
into the Exchequer on account of the relinquished income of
the King of the Belgians.

INCREASE OF THE REGIUM DONUM.

_ .
Colonel CONOLLY rose to present a petition from the
Synod of Ulster, praying for an increase of the Regiunt
Donum, and that in future the stipend should be paid to them
in British instead of Irish money. He hoped the matter would
receive the attention from Government which it deserved,
proceeding as it did from a class of the most peaceable,
orderly, and loyal of his Majesty's subjects.
The SPE AkE R believed there was an order of the House
that requiring the permission of his Majesty should be got to pe-
titions of this nature before they could be presented, and as
that permission had not been obtained, he cOnSi4 the
petition could not be received until such an informality was
got rid of.--(Hear, hear.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL said the petition prayed for an
equalization of stipend, which certainly might be ef-
fected by simply increasing the lower scale, or reducing
the higher, but he believed the object was to effect that equali-
sation not by reducing the higher but by raising the lower
scale. Now, 'he was entrusted with a certain power on the part
of the Crown, to give or withhold his assent to the presentation
of petitions of this nature, which involved an increase of the
public burdens ; and he was bound to say that he could not re-
commend it to the consideration of the House without having
previously inquired into the subject. He bad not had that op-
portunity, and he was afraid if this grant were conceded, it
would be immediately followed by applications from other bodies.
The important sibject had not been brought under his notice
until after the meeting of parliament ; he had not therefore had
sufficient time to consider its comprehensive details, and that
Being the case he felt himself compelled to withhold his con-
sent to the presentation of the petition.
Colonel CONOLLY, on withdrawing the petition, assured
the Right Honourable Baronet that in bringing it before the
House, he had no intention to embarrass him.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said,_ that he had not been at all
embarrassed by the course taken by the Hon. Member, but he
was anxious that a subject of such importance should be well
considered.

BEER ACT.

Mr. RICE TREVOR moved for an account of all convic-
tions under the Act for the sale of beer during 1833 and 1834;
and also for an account of the number of licenses granted un-
der the Beer Act ; but, as we understood, the Hon. Gentle-
man postponed the first motion on the suggestion of Sir
THOMAS FREEMANTLE, and the second on the representation
made by Mr. RUTHVEN of the lateness of the hour.

HA TTON- GARDEN.

Yesterday, James Thorozighgood and William Waller,
lads about fifteen years old, who were genteelly attired, but
with the regular cut of young thieves, were brought before
the Magistrates in the custody of Holt, a constable of the
N division, charged by Mr. Augustus Haines, linen-draper,
of High-street, on suspicion of riming stolen a gown.
Waddington, the gaoler, on seeing the prisoners, imme-
diately recognised them as old offenders, and gave a ludi-
crous description of their manoeuvres in the art of swind-
ling and robbery. There were three of them, he said, in
the gang, and they were known by the appellation of
the " Kinchin (young) swell mob," in consequence of
the " natty" and flash style of their dress. They all bore
a strong resemblance towards each other, and were
always dressed exactly alike, so that it was difficult to
distinguish the one from the other. by which means they
evaded the LW, as it was impossible to identify either of
them. One or two of them would enter a shop under pre-
tence of purchasing something, and while the attention of the
parties serving would be occupied something was sure to be
" fingered" and " dinged" to their companion outside, and
if ever any of them happened to be‘taken into custody the
whole three of them would meet together, and thus " bother"
the brains of the witness, who would find it .a matter of
conscientious difficulty to identify the " real thief," and
they escaped justice. One of the prisoners, whilst Wad-
dington was giving this description, lolled indolently against
the wall, with his hands in his pockets and his " tile
cocked," whilst his companion looked and smiled.
Baylis, the officer, said they were very genteel looking
lads.

" Lord bless you," said Waddington, " I could tell in a
moment they were thieves by the cock & their gib ; I should
like to know what Lawater would say on 'em if he was
here. They are too much o' the flashy sort for me. They
know what I say is true. The bigger one they call their
brother, and these here call themselves the twins," and its
a pity all the shopkeepers in London don't know 'em."
The prisoners in this jostance were equally fortunate,
as there being no positive evidence against them they were
liberated, with a caution not to show their faces on any
future occasion.

CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF.

THE THISTLE.

His Majesty held a Chapter of the most ancient Order of
the Thistle yesterday afternoon, at St. James's.
The Knights Brethren of the Order assembled in the Por-
trait Gallery, and were robed by Messrs. Hunter and Ede, in
their green velvet mantles, wearing-also their collars. The
Officers of the Order appeared in the chains and badges of
their respective offices.
The Knights were called over in the entree Room by the
Secretary of the Order, when there appeared the Earl of
Aberdeen, the Marquis of Aylesbury, Marquis of Ailsa, and
the Earl of Errol. The officers present were Sir William
Woods (Clarencieux King of Arms), Deputy Secretary, and
Mr. Robert Quarme, Gentleman Lsher of the Green Rod.

The Knights and Officers passed to the presence of the Sove-
reign into the Royal Closet. The Knights having taken their
seats, his Majesty signified his pleasure respecting the election
of a Knight into the Order ; each of the Knights then
wrote the names of six candidates. The Deputy Secretary
(beginning with the junior Knight) collected the suffrages,
and presented them to the Sovereign, when his Majesty was
pleased to declare that the Right Hon. William Earl of Mans-
field had been elected a Knight of the Order. The Knight
elect was received at 'the door of the Chapter-room by the
Marquis of Ailsa and the Earl of Errol, the two Junior
Knights present, and advanced between them to the Sove-
reign, 'preceded by the Deputy Secretary, bearing the ensigns
of the Order on a cushion, and by the Usher of the Green Rod.
The Sword of State was delivered to the King by the Earl
of Aberdeen, the Senior Knight present. and the Earl of Mans-
field, kneeling, received the honour of Knighthood. His Lord-
ship rising, the Deputy Secretary administered the oath to
him ; the Noble Earl again kneeling, and the Deputy Secre-
tary presenting the Riband and Jewel of the Order, the King
was pleased to put the Riband over his Lordship's left shoul-
der. The Noble Earl kissed hands on rising, and, having
received the congratulations of each of the Knights, withdrew.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Joseph Humphries ,was brought up in custody and placed at
the bar before Mr. Wittrx, charged with stealing a valuable
greyhound from the premises of George Cannon, Esq., of
Kennington-lane, Surrey.
Richard Lamb, a coachman, stated that he met the prisoner
yesterday afternoon near Oakley-street, Lambeth, leading the
greyhound by a handkerchief. He knew the animal again
from its peculiar size, and as he considered it to have been
stolen from Mr. Cannon, whose name and address were on the
collar, he gave him into the custody of a police constable of
the L division, who took him to the station-house.
Mr. Cannon proved that the greyhound was his property.
The intrinsic value of the animal was 56, and it had been
stolen from him not less than three times during the last fort-
night.
Mr. WRITE ordered the prisoner to pay the sum of 51., the
value of the dog, and fined him 201. for stealing the dog. In
default of payment he was committed to Brixton House of
Correction for two months.

IN RE FOSTER.

Mr. BETIIAL applied for an order to commit a person named
Foster to the Fleet, under the following circumstances :—A
warrant for the committal of Foster for contempt had been
made by the late Lord Chancellor, but Foster having kept out
of the way, the warrant could not be put into effect, until after
Lord Brougham had resigned the Seals ; this, it was contend-
ed, on behalf of Foster, rendered the warrant of no effect, and
hence the present application became necessary.
The MASTER of the ROLLS considering the order of the
late Lord Chancellor to be in full force, ordered Foster to be
committed. His Honour rose shortly after one o'clock, to at..
tend the Drawing Room.

THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

Mr. BAINES seeing the Right Honourable the Secre-
tary for the Home Department in his place, begged leave
to ask him a question relative to a Commission that had
been appointed more than two years ago. In the month
of June, 1832, a Commission had been issued under
the sign manual, authorizing certain Commissioners to
inquire into the revenue and patronage of the several episcopal
sees thoughout England and Wales; and also into the re-
venue and patronage of all ecclesiastical benefices, per-
petual curacies, &c., with the names of the several patrons
thereof, and other circumstances connected therewith. Two
years afterwards a document had been laid before that House
(not a report, but an apology for one), and he (Mr. B. ) un-
derstood that the report had been presented to the King. He
now begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether the
Commissioners had terminated their inquiries, and if so,
whether they had made the report required, which was to
have been a full and correct one, and if so, at what time it was
probable his Majesty Would order that report to be laid before
the House ?

Mr. G OULB URN begged to inform the Hon. Member
that the tables of the whole of the incomes, &c., of the various
sees and benefices of England and Wales were in course of
printing. He could not say at what time precisely they would
be ready, but he hoped they would be so in a short time.
Mr. CURTEIS presented petitions from the Borough of
Hastings, and from the parish of Tilehurst, in Suszex, praying
for the repeal of the Malt Tax, and also a petition from the
latter place, praying for an alteration in the Tithe system. A
tithe consisting of a tenth of the rental was generally advo-
cated in Sussex.

Mr. RICHARDS supported the petition, which was laid
on the table.

FLOGGING IN THE ARMY.
Major BE AUCLE RK gave notice that, when the Marine
Mutiny Bill was brought forward, he would move that the
power of inflicting corporal punishment be struck out.

G UILDHALL.

Yesterday Emma Weaver, a Welsh girl, who had been
lately defrauded of a sovereign by the old trick of ring-
dropping, was brought before Mr. Alderman PIRIE for at-
tempting to get rid of her bargain by repeating the trick
on somebody else.
Elijah West, the City toll taker in Aldersgate-street,
about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon went into a public-
house to get some refreshment, leaving a man named Ratty
to collect the toll in his absence. In a few minutes Ratty
called him out, and said the prisoner wished to speak with
him. Having no recollection of her, he asked what her
business was, and she said she had just been relating to
Ratty that she had picked up a prize, producing a very
trumpery pair of gilt ear-rings, a mourning-ring, and a
wedding-ring, wrapped up in tissue paper, with a bill, in
which the articles were set down as of the value of
5!. 18s. 6d., while, in fact, they would be dear at 2s. 6d.
She said also that she overheard from a conversation be-
tween two gentlemen that the articles had been lost,
and a reward of three guineas had been advertised for
them in a morning newspaper. " Well," said complainant,
" then the best thing that can be done' is to take them
home, and get the three guineas." She replied she had
no time to see about it, as she was going to Wales imme-
diately, in consequence of her father's illness. He then
asked her what her business was with him ? She said she
wished him to try to sell them, or to purchase them himself.
They should go a dead bargain—only a sovereign. He
understood the value of the jewellery, and believing she
was a great rogue, and common duffer, though her mien
was artless, he called in a policeman, and gave her in charge
for attempting to impose upon him.
Fortunately for her, Inspector Martin of the City Police
identified her as having a few days ago called at the sta-
tion-house to describe how she had purchased these rings,
and to learn what they were really worth, as she discredited
some friends who told her they were worthless. She had
therefore probably thought that she should not commit a
sin if she should get back her money by the same device as
she lost it.

She was delivered up to the care of her uncle.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday William Staveley, Esq., residing at 19, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly, was brought before Messrs. MlN-
stiuLL and HALLS, charged with a very violent assault
upon Anne Stevens, a young female, living in Beaufort-
buildings. The defendant is an elderly man of stout and
comely appearance, and was some time ago charged with
threatening to shoot Sir Edward Sugden, the present
'Chancellor of Ireland.

The Magistrates, after some conversation, fined the de-
fendant 51., the full penalty, and gave him leave to speak
to the prosecutrix.
The parties retired, and the defendant paid the Si., and
made compensation to the complainant.
