IPSWICH.

On Friday the election of Town Councillors for the
borough of Ipswich took place, and resulted in the
return of a majority of Tories.

KIDDER MIN STER.

There was no opposition in this borough, the Li-
berals being inert. So the Tories returned six of
their own nominees.

LEEDS.

a ---- -
most lifeless contest- of the kind ever witnessed in
Leeds. At the very outset the Reformers had a
walk over" in no less than five wards, which re-
turn eight candidates, being one-half of the number
to elect in the whole borough. Besides these, four
Reformers have been returned in the contested wards,
making the total number of Reformers elected 12
out of 15 ! The remaining three newly-elected re-
presentatives are a Tory-Chartist and two Tories, re-
turned respectively for the North-east, the Kirkgate,
and the Ileadingley War&—Leeds Aferftry.

THIS DAY'S NEWS_

Mr. Erie is appointed to the Justiceship of the
Common Pleas, vacant by the retirement of Mr. Jus-
tice Erskine. This appointment does honour to all
parties concerned, as no more deserving man exists
than Mr. Erle ; and Sir Robert Peel, by disregarding
party claims, and looking for talent alone, will gain
the approbation of every honest practitioner at the
English bar.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in his Court at West-
minster, shortly after 10 o'clock.

MALCOM V SCOTT-JUDGMENT.

His Lordship gave judgment in this case to-day, the
facts of which we gave a full account on its bearing in
July last. His Lordship effirmpd the judgment below
with costs. The Lord ChalicAor then proceeded to
hear appeal motions and lunatic petitions which occu-
pied the Court the whole day.

BIRMINGHAM.

FRIDAY EVENING.—The elections for Town Coun-
cillors have just terminated in the return of Whigs,
Tories, and Chartists. For the first time since the
incorporation of the borough the Tories entered the
field and were successful in three wards. They were
put up by the licensed victuallers, and successfully
returned by that body, who feel great interest in
being "represented in the Town Council. Mr. Allen
(barrister), Mr. Chesshire (a publican), and Mr. Ro-
derick (an auctioneer), have been the successful Con-
servative candidates; and the following are the returns
from the entire wards :

Lady Wood Ward—Mr. Tongue, returned without
opposition, a Whig.
St. George's Ward—Mr. Oran),
.a Complete Suf-
fragist, 126 ; Mr. Lingard, a Whig, 77.
St. Mary's Ward—Mr. Harrison, a Complete Suf.
fragist, unopposed.

buddestcri-cum-Nichells—Messrs. Cornforth and
Evans, Complete Suffragists, not opposed.
Edgbaston Ward—Mr. Underrill; a Whig, 125';
Mr. Harding, a Conservative, 74 ; Mr. Goodricke, a
Complete Suffragist, 24.
St. Paul's Ward—Mr. Sargeant, a Whig, 76; Mr.
Barlow, a Complete Suffragist, 27.
St. Thomas's Ward—Mr. Hollingshead, a Whig,
100; Mr. Poulten, a Complete Suffragist, 37.
St. Peter's Ward—Mr. Allen, a Conservative, 270 ;
Mr. Barnett, a Whig, 201; Mr. Whittle, a Whig, 186.

plete Suffragist, 157; Mr. Holland, a Complete Suf-
fragist, 156 ; Mr. Nickler, a Whig, 73; Mr. Dixon,
a Whig, 66.
St. Martin's Ward—Mr. Roderick, a Conservative,
88 ; Mr. T. Wright, a Whig, 41.
All Saints—Mr. Fielding, a Whig, 62 ; Mr. Jen-
kins, a Chartist, 10.
Market Hall Ward—Mr. Chesshire, a Conserva-

Hampton Ward—Mr. G. V. Blunt, a Whig, un-

London, England, 1844-11-04

SOUTHAMPTON.

The Ist of November turned out precisely as we
had expected. The Tories have retained possession
of all the minor wards without even a show of a con-
test. In the ward of All Saints, too, where the Tories
have so long held sway, they have been again success-
ful, although they were tolerably well frightened by
some wag, or wags, who put forward at the eleventh
hour the names of two Liberal and two Tory candi-
dates as opponents of the four regularly chosen men
of the Corruptionist camp. Although in the present
case this must certainly have been meant in a joke—
and from whence it emanated it is not easy to deter-
mine—yet if fully and fairly carried out there is little
doubt of its being entirely successful. But there is
really an apathy and a carelessness on the part of
liberal and independent men about muniuipal affairs
that makes it almoit hopeless to expect anything like
a serious anc well-continued opposition in this ward
to the dominant party, This time, however, they
have been thoroughly. frightened, although not
hurt—andthey pone(' all their available strength.
Not a single thorough- bred Tory relaxed a jot
unscrupulousness, or his activity—not a Wavc,ring

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. I.—The
sales of combing and clothing wools this week have
been limited to the immediate requirements of the
manufacturers. Purchases have been made by them
with caution. We do not quote any alteration from
last week's prices.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, Nov. I.—A co mpara-
tively limited business has been done in foreign
wools this week, but, since it is so generally known
that the continental markets are almost cleared out of
wool, and that the importations into this country
must necessarily fie very scanty until next clip, no
disposition whatever exists amongst the dealers to
give way in prices, but rather on the contrary to hold
their stocks with the prospect of realising an advance.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. I.—We have
no new feature to report in this week's market, which
upon the whole has been a very quiet one; the few
sales that have been made are upon the terms of last
week.

LEEDS.—The demand for fine and middle qualities
of cloths has been very dull at our cloth-halls this
week, but in heavy winter goods there has been a
little improvement over the markets of the last few
weeks. Prices continue pretty steady, and the stocks,
although on the increase, are lower than usual at
this season. In finished goods there has been but
little doing. Few of the larger buyers have been at
the market during the week, and the foreign houses
are doing less business than for some months past ; on
the whole, there has been much below an average
business done in the warehouses during the week.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is not
the slightest improvement in the demand for Wool
since our last, and what has changed hands during the
past week is only in very small quantities, and
at about last week's prices. The disposi-
tion to still further decrease the production
is progressing, for the spinners complain of the
great disproportion in the price of yarns with the
raw material, and unless the latter recedes to meet
the spinners, it appears almost certain that the opera-
tives are likely to be only very partially employed,
which is much to be regretted. If anything a little
more business has been done in pieces to-day, but the
prices are very discouraging, and will in no way tend
to stop the progress of doing less, which is daily
going on.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have
had decidedly less doing in cloth this week, arising,
in some measure, from the high rates asked, and this
arising out of all but a general advance in wages. It
is doubtful whether the manufacturers will succeed in
realising an advance equal to that on wages. In that
case the manufacturer will be in no enviable position.
A large business is, nevertheless, doing, and generally
at previous rates. Yarns are still in brisk demand,
and prices, if anything, the turn higher.—Leeds
Mercury.

Miss BURDETT COUTTB.—I have to-day heard a
piece of intelligence which I think will take the'general
readers of newspapers, both here and in the country,
with some degree of surprise. It is said that Miss Bur-
dett Coutts has at length fixed on an individual whom to
bless with possession of her hand and immense wealth,
and that the fortunate winner of the golden lady is a
young surgeon, the junior partner of a house in one of
the Burlington-streets.--Private correspondent of the

PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS

The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of th• wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in full action, emits a light equal to
I fi wax candles.

C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
recherche and new pattern!, comprising Or-mole, China, Glass, and
Opal.
Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for Gs. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr, tire, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4s. per gallon.

LORD GEORGE RENTINCIL V. CONNOP.

In this case there had been a demurrer to several pleas, and
Lord DENMAN proceeded to give the Judgment of the Court. The
talon was one of assumpsit, and there had been several points dis-
cussed, on various occasions, as to the validity of one of the-pleas,
which the Court would not waste time in referring to now, because it
keld the opinion that the declaration was altogether insufficient.
The declaration set forth an agreement made between the parties
to the effect that in the running for the Grand Duke Michael
*takes the sum of fifty pounds for each colt • or filly, should
b subscribed by the owners, or namers, of such
colts or fillies; that both the plaintiff and the defendant, with
divers other persons, had become subscribers to these stakes ; that
the Plaintiff named four colts •and one filly ; that the defendant
named two colts and one filly; that thereupon the plaintiff, at the
request of th e defendant, and in consideration of the premises named,
14129 t Ned and agreed with defendant to perform all things alike and
Von the name terms ; that the race was duly run ; and that the horse
of the plaintiff won it, whereby the defendant became liable to
Pay three sums of fifty pounds each. It had been slightly con.
tended,' on the part of the defendant, that the race being for
More than fifty pounds, was not a legal one; but it was strongly and
distinctly urged that no action could properly be maintained against
the defendant, as, by the 16th of Charles the Second, it was enacted
that no action could be maintained to recover a stake of a greater
amount than one hundred pounds, yet that, if paid down, the tran-
saction would be a legal one,—the object of the statute being to pre-
vent Persons venturing for more than a hundred pounds,
except for money paid down, and in the present case,
the stake was for one hundred and fifty. The plaintiff, in support
of his averment that his action might be maintained, had referred
i° two cases, neither of which, however, in his (Lord Denman's)
.4)Piliien, applied to the present case; because, in each of them
Ole sum did not exceed one hundred pounds; but it was
aigttcd that as there was no contract for credit, the statute
'll,l not apply ; but the Court was clearly of the opinion that the
Words of the statute could not be limited to a case of express con-
tract for credit, but applied to all cases of more than one hundred
Pounds, and not paid down immediately ; and, where it WAi neces-
'sarY to enforce the claim, the case WA: within the words, as well
~
the spirit of the act, the objet of which was well undersood to
Ij* that of restraining the practice of gambling. Therefore, the
Court was clearly of opinion that judgment must be entered up for
the defendant.

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.

CHELTENHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—This fashionable
spa, " the queen of watering-places," has been thrown into a
state of great excitement, in consequence of a singular oc-
currence having taken place at " the Grange" this evening, to
the family of the respected incumbent of the parish, the Rev.
Francis Close.
The Rev. Gentleman received this evening, at five o'clock,
a hamper, by the Birmingham coach, addressed to "the
Grange," -which is the Parsonage-house. The hamper was
packed in the most careful manner. When the Rev. Gen-
tleman returned home he proceeded to open the hamper, in
which he discovered a small box, securely fastened. With
some difficulty this box was opened, when he was both asto-
nished and alarmed to find that it contained a very handsome
child's coffin. The parish authorities were instantly sent for,
and on the coffin being opened, it was found to contain the
dead body of a remarkably fine male infant, apparently
about a fortnight old.
By the advice of the parish authorities the Vicar lost no
time in making Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the police,
acquainted with the circumstance. Information of this ex-
traordinary affair was sent to the magistrates of Cheltenham,
and the Coroner was also made acquainted with the intelli-
gence, in order that an inquest might be held on the body.
The Rev. Incumbent is a married man with a large family,
and it is not long ago that a base attempt was made to
affiliate a child upon him, which turned out on the most rigid
inquiry to be utterly groundless. It is conjectured that the
same parties, who have since left Cheltenham, have a hand
in this affair.

The circumstance has created great excitement, and the
Vicar's " present" has formed the leading subject of conver-
sation among all classes of society. The inquest was expected
to be held on Friday.

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1844.

Lord CLARENDON announced in the House of
Lords last evening, that, in consequence of the ill-
ness of Lord ABERDEEN, he would postpone his
motion on the affairs of Spain till Monday next.
The Bill entitled "Actions for Penalties on Gaming
Discontinuance Bill," was, on the motion of Lord
BROUGHAM, read a third time and passed.
On the motion of the same Noble Lord, a re-
turn of the number of appeals heard, and remaining
to be heard, before the Committee of the Judicial
Privy Council was ordered. This led to a little
amicable conversation between Lord CAMPBELL and
Lord BROUGHAM.

In answer to a question from the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, Lord NORMANBY said, it was his intention to
bring on his motion relative to the state of Ireland on
Tuesday.

Lord CAMPBELL brought in a Bill, which
read
a first time, to enact that:when a prOsecution wasas in-
stituted for seditious libel, and falsehood was charged‘v
in the indictment, it should be lawful to give evidence
of the truth of the alleged libel. The object of the
Bill is to supply the deficiency in the Act of last
session, relative to Government prosecutions.
The Commons did not make a House, there being
only thirty-five Members present at four o'clock.

It is quite clear that public men are entitled to
claim a liberal construction not only for their mo-
tives, but for their conduct, and that no harsh rule of
construction should be applied to them ; but that, on
the contrary, every latitude should be allowed to

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
MARINE RESIDENCE FOR THE PRINCE OF
WALES AND THE PRINCESS ROYAL.
Her Majesty has not yet settled on a summer residence for
the Royal infants ; the treaty for the purchase of Norris
Castle is off, and surveyors were down on Tuesday to Eagle
Hurst, to inspect and report on its capabilities and value;
there are nearly 300 acres of land ; the house stands on a
great deal of ground, but it is on one floor ; the situation and
views are good ; there is also a lofty tower attached, called
" Lutrel's Folly ;" it is in the-New Forest, near the entrance
of Southampton River, and directly opposite Cowes; the
amount demanded for it is the principal objection--the dif-
ference is, howtver, only about 8,000/. Should it be pur-
chased her Majestyintends lying in her yacht off Cowes, the
nursery establishment only being at Eagle Hurst.

SALISBURY TOWN COUNCIL.

- - - -
SALISBURY, FRIDAY.—A well-attended meeting..
took place at the Rose and Crown Inn, last evening,
which was literally crammed to excess, to consider
the most efficient and proper means to secure the
return of John Lambert, Esq., as Town Councillor
for the Ward of St. Thomas, vacated by the lamented
and sudden death of T. N. Chubb, Esq., one of the
freemen of this city.
The address of Mr. Lambert was then read, and re-
ceived with evident marks of approbation, when some
gentleman present rose and proposed a gentleman
named Fulford, a linendraper of the High-street,
who is the opponent of Mr. Lambert, on the Con-
servative interest, as a fit and proper persoit for their
support ; whereupon a third party proposed that a
deputation should be dispatched to Mr. Fulford to
request that he would be pleased to honour the meet-
ing with his presence, and to state his political senti-
ments, and his opinion of the manner in which their
municipal elections had been and ought to be con-
ducted; and finally, if returned, whether he would vote
that the business of the.eity may be conducted with
open doors, or in the dark, as at present. This proposi-
tion, however, was overruled, on the ground that it
would he a waste of time, it being evident that Mr.
Fulford would go the whole hog for the Tories,
although. Mr. F. had issued no address. Several
gentlemen then addressed the meeting as to the im-
portance they should attach to the present occasion—
the best methods to be employed—so that " not
a stone may be left unturned ". to serve

insurgents. The Captain-General of Valencia, RoN-
CALT4 :is marching on Alicant with troops, and a
moveable brigade under the command of General
CONCHA, has also left Madrid.

" Attempts at insurrection took place on the 29th
at Alcoy Elche, Cocentirna, and Muro, all in the
neighbourhood of Alicant, but they were promptly
checked by the inhabitants, who captured and killed
several of the seditious."

The Memorial Bordelais of the 6th publishes the
following, but will not vouch for its veracity :

" MADRID, FEB. 1. TEN O'CLOCK, P.M.
"A Council of Ministers has, it is said, just been held, and
a Cabinet courier is to start immediately •for Paris. It is
added, that a loan of 10,000,000 francs is demanded, in order
to provide for the difficulties in which the Alicant insurrec-
tion has thrown the Government. It is also said that the
Government demand that the New Spanish Three per Cents.
be quoted at the Spanish Bourse, and that M. Martinez de
Rosa is to apply fo'r the armed intervention of France, should
it be required, to support the young Queen against the
machinations of the anarchists."

The observations made by Lord
_BROUGHAM and
the Earl of ABERDEEN in the House of Lords re-
lative to the slave trade have excited some severe
comments in the Opposition journals. Some of them
declare that the assertions of M. GUIZOT in the
Chamber were not founded on truth, and that the
scene in the House of Lords was previously concerted
between Lord BROUGHAM and Lord ABERDEEN, in
