ELECTION NEB S. transfer of
Mr. Gower, one of the present members for the borough, to
Sutherlandshire, being anticipated, Mr. E. W. Cox, the
Recorder of Falmouth, has offered himself for the expected
vacancy, as a Liberal Conservative. He states in his
address that he is sincerely attached " to the principles of
civil and religious liberty, and opposed alike to the tyranny
of an oligarchy and the despotism of a democracy."
SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.—A screw steam frigate
named " The Twenty-second of December," built for the
Haytian Government by Messrs. T. and W. Smith, of
North Shields, arrived in the river this afternoon to take
in a supply of stores before sailing for St. Domingo. The
departure for New York of the Teutonia steamer is deferred
till Wednesday morning.

QUICK Hodgkinson has laid
before the House of Commons a Bill concerning the " Re-
covery of Debts," providing that where a person, on issu-
ing a writ for a debt, indorses on it particulars of the
claims, and makes an affidavit that it is justly due, the
person sued shall not be at liberty to appear and defend the
action unless he in his turn swears that he believes he has
a good defence to at least a part of the claim, or unless he
obtains leave from a judge.

It appears that the amount of Exchequer Bills
sent in for repayment was about £1,000,000. Owing to
this total having been set free, there was a very good sup-
ply of money in the Stock Exchange at rates ranging from
5 to 7 per cent., according to the duration of the loan.
The Government balances at the Bank will exhibit a pro-
portionate diminution, and unless the market should im-
prove so as to admit of a re-issue before the payment of
the April dividends, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
then be compelled to resort to the aid of a more than usual
amount of deficiency bills.

DOCK ROBBERY.—This morning a man named
Bannister, in the London Dock Company, was sent to pri-
son for three months, for stealing some gin from a case
placed in the Docks for exportation.

ROBBING THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—At the
Winchester assizes, yesterday, Emma Spencer was indicted
for stealing tea, sugar, two dead hares, a leg of mutton, and
two rabbits, the property of her master, Sir R. Bethell.
She was found guilty, and sentenced to six weeks' impri-
sonment, with hard labour.

GREAT WILL CASE.—During the Nottingham
Lent Assizes, which commence on Friday next, a will case
of much interest is to be tried. The action is br.iught by
Sir Charles C. -H. Rumbold, Bart., against Mr. and Mrs.
Forteath, of Bunny Hall, Notts, to contest the validity of
the will of the late Lord Rancliffe, uncle to the plaintiff.
The deceased peer married one of the French nobility, and
she hiving left him and become the paramour of one of
his servants, he formed a liaison with Mrs. Burtt, widow
of a surgeon, and formerly a milliner of Nottingham. At
the death of Lord Rancliffe, in 1850, the Bunny estates,
yielding about £7,000 a year, were left by him to his mis-
tress, Mrs. Burtt, giving her full power to dispose of the
property at her death as she thought proper. The action,
as above-mentioned, is to contest the legality of the will, as
it is alleged that Mrs. Burtt, now Mrs. Forteath, exercised
undue influence over the mind of the noble lord. The case
excites intense interest. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., has
been specially retained on behalf of the plaintiff.
A rumour having became current at Naples that
the Piedmontese Government would be a loser to a great
amount by the bankruptcy of M. Mires, the Patriota of
Perugia contradicts the statement, declaring that th•
King never entrusted any important sums to that firm.

ELLIOTT V. ELLIOTT-JUDGMENT.
In this case the petitioner, Mary Ann Elliott, prayed for
a divorce on the ground of her husband's cruelty and
adultery, and the respondent entered no appearance.
It appeared that the parties were married in 1829, the
petitioner at the time being a teacher of music, and the
respondent a chemist and druggist at Bristol. The co-
respondent's habits becoming intemperate his business de-
dined, and he came to London to seek employment, leav-
ing his wife and child at Bristol. Previous to his departure
the petitioner had supported herself by her professional
exertions, which she continued for some time subsequently,
but hearing that her husband was pursuing a very profligate
career, she left Bristol with the intention of endeavouring
to reclaim him. They afterwards accepted engagements at
theatres in Scotland, the petitioner as an actress, and the re-
spondent as a pyrotechnist, but after some time returned lo
Bristol, where respondent opened a publichouse. They
lived there for about six years, during which time the peti-
tioner gave birth to three children, and the respondent was
not only most immoral in his conduct, but ill •treated her
from the period of their marriage.
