COLONIAL. NEW ZEALAND. We have received letters and papers from Welling ton to the 20th, and from Nelson to the 6th of August ; from Auckland to the 22nd of July. They were brought to Rio by the Calliope, and forwarded thence by the Sampson steamer. Governor Orey arrived at Wellington on the 15th of August in the Calliope. An impression was gaining ground that he contemplated transferring the seat of government, without delay, to the southern settlements. But this im pression appears to have rested upon no better foundation than the circumstance that no steps had been taken to re laild the govanment boniest Auckland, Capt. Grey having lieu • rewind time burned out, he and his lady losing pro- perty to the value of 2,0001. The well-informed (or they who gestend to authentic information) express doubts of • speedy inuisfer, though all are convinced that ultimately the heed quieten of government must be fixed at Auckland. Ro man were also afloat to the effect, that the governor in tended to meet the general wish in the southern settlements, *bringing a constitution into operation. The sources of Ems rumours it was difficult to tram, but a public meeting Wedington was talked of to appoint a deputation to weft ak the governor on the eabjeet. The road towards the Weirarapa plain had been completed for 40 miles from Wel lisgtoa. A better line for clearing the hills had beesda mmed, sad was expected to be inns* for peek bullocks as NOR as the .:ry weather set in. The Wairarapa district ma bawd to rip in estimation as it became better known. The weeded parts are of great natural fertility; the gran towards the sea rather coarse but geed feeding; more inland the paw, was mach richer. Even the bßle enclosing the val ley, which were at ant disregarded, are figind to of good patve for sheep, and the fern is rapidly disappearing from diem, being succeeded by 'gyms. The squatters were in t:mask, in numbers; they bad somewhat raised the price of the land, but they had at the same time greatly improved its Reality. 'they were proving admirable *seen of colonise. ban. The natives had completely reduced it into posseesion, reviving large rents for the cattle rem. and deriving profit hem their cultivation. An eye-witness speaks of 80 saes of Lae alluvial soil in one patch, cultivated in wheat by nee lives. They were, however, willing to part with their land to government wherever ample reserves were secured to SOIL They were quite aware of the advantage of having nur tons bodies of settlers, and European markets for their sipieultunl produce in their neighbourhood.

HIUDRWILLL AND BETEL= HOSPITALS. The meeting of governess, on Monday last, when the question tame en Ise dimmed= relating to the appointment of gover nors by the president and treasurer without donation to the funds of thelasegital, was most numeroualy attended. The din s** pedaled a most animated debate, the resolution imbeing, " That the privilege of appointing one never annually to these hospitals be continued to the new treasurer, peovkled always such governors so appointed do pay the sans of 601 me is the custom in the other royal hen pitals." To that resolution Mr. Henry Kemble proposed an amendment, " That, during the presidenthe present president, no alteration be made in the pri vilegeof the trea surer." The opposition to ths original moist was bead upon the ground of its being undesirable to make any altera tion until the president's death or retirement. The discus sion lasted a considerable time, but the question was at length put, and the amendment was unatived by 22 to 8. The ornal motion was then carried, only one hand having been held up against it. CROLERA.—A sign that cholera is on the wane in London, was afforded yesterday by the fact that the Board of health issued no report of cans, The dank', from all crams, in the metropolis duriog the week ending Saturday Isrt were 1,207, being 53 over the avenge. Of the total number who died during the seven day,, 118 were destroyed by scarlatina, and 70 by typhus—two diaews which con tinue to be much more fatal tharkthe dreaded cholera. INQUESTS, TINTRIIDAT.—A GIRL STRANGLED BY uon Merrnaa.—Before lair. T. Wakley, at the Globe Tavern, London-street, Tottenham-court-road, on the body of Ann Pullen, aged 144 years, alleged to have been murdered by her mother, Jane Pullen, a widow, with whom she traded at No. 3, Prinemesereet, Fitzroy square.—The jelly having viewed the body, the Coroner remarked that it was his intention to call the mother of the deceased, but ha should not swear her, because, from the statements made, she was placed in a very perilous position. Jane Pullen, the accused, was then brought into court, and, in answer to the Coroner, she said : My name is Jane Pullen. I lived in the secondficroe back-room of No. 3, Princesetreet, and am a widow. My husband was a tailor. The deceased was my daughter. I saw her last alive about half past eleven on Friday morning. I left her in the room and locked her in. I did nut return home till half-past ten the same night. I had fastened her with a cord to the bed-post in the morning. When I returned hones I found the door still locked. On opening it, all was dark end quiet. I called to my daughter, but she made nn answer. 1 then went to where I had fastened her. I head her dead, and 1 cut ter down.—Coroner (interrupting): Don't say an thing further about it. It now becomes my duty to inform you that you are to consider yourself in cowl tody. You can make any statement you please atter the eel. deuce, ben it will be taken down against y ou.—Ur. .1. Lay : I am landlord of the house No. 3, PrincezTh 4 , n:coy-square. The evened end her daughter the second floor back room. About eleven e" on Friday night last I had retired to rest, when the accused knocked at m 7 room door, and said "get up," and on my doing wake said, "Ann is ead—what shall do, what shall I do!" I went up stairs, and saw the de ceased lying on the floor quite dead, and a rope lying on the bed. I said to her, " this la a very serious ease anti there must be an inquest." Jane Pullen replied, " Som ething must be done, for I end it." She then said, "I left her in the morning with directions to mend eons* of her things, and she had been kept at home that day for the purpose from her work. I went out early in the morning,_ and when I returned at 11 o'clock she had done nothing. 'I told her she should have nothing but dry bread, and in order to prevent her sitting down I put the rope round her neck, and made it fast to the toot-pat to prevent her sitting down."—The Coroner: NOW, be particular, and state if she told you how tie tied deceased.—Witness: She said she tied her neck, and then passed the rope round the head post of the bed stead (a French one), and then passed the ends of it round the foot in order to prevent her untying it, 63 that the end of the rope was out of her reach. She said she put the rope round and round the deceased's seek, and then coiled it under the knob of the bedpost. The accused Sun went on to say to witness that when she found the deceased she was leaning forward in a beading position, close to the bed but a little on one side. She said she tied the rope slack, but not slack enough for her to get the rope over her chin. On the toliowing day I raid to her that I could not understand how she had tied the rope and she again seed she had made both ends fast at the :out of the bedpost. [The rope, which is such as is need for a thick clothes line, was here produced.] Evidence resumed: I did nut ask the mother whether she had left the poor girl any candle or food during the 12 hours she left her. There WSJ a table and a chair near where the deceased was tied up, but I did nut notice any scissors or work. I saw a knife on the' bed, which I believe the mother used to cut her down. The Leaned has lodged with me Ix years, but I know nothing of her treatment of her daughter, who 1 behove was a very perverse and idle girl.—By direction of the Coroner, Bennett the summoning officer, and police-sergeant 15 li were is -1 structed to measure the height of the neck of the bedpost and that of the deceased hem her heel up to the marks of the cord in her neck.—Mr. Derbishire, surgeon, said be was called to see deceased by the last witness. She was dead. I have made a poet menet examination of the body. There is a deep indentation into the skin of the neck, clearly caused by a rope. The witness then described other morbid appearaaces.—Coroner : What do you say was the cause of dentist—Winans: Asphyxia, or inability to breathe, from the contracted state of the windpipe.—Coroner: In plain lan 'tinge, the deceased died from suffocation from banging ? Witness: Yes that is the fact. I found no undigested food fa the stomac h.—Coroner : Then, although the demand has been proved to have been tied by the neck to the bedpost toe twelve hours, there is no evidence of food ell that 6=4'l—Witness replied that there was not.— Mary Pullen, sister of the deceased: Was in genies. Saw her last alive on that day week, when she complained of h mother being gunny with her, beccuse she did nu'. mend her stockings. Had known bee mother tie her to the bedstead, and leer hands together, for two or three days at a time. When deceased did not behave herself her mother was very severe. Never heard her thr.aten deceased's life, nor did she ever hear her sister threaten to destroy herself.—Police 'mutable Fryer stated that the height of the neck of the bedpost was 3 feet 104 inches, and the height from deceased's heel to the mark of the rope on her neck, 3 lest 10 inehsa.— There being no further evidence, the Coroner summed up, and, after a discuoion lasting nearly two hours, the jury re turned a verdict of manslaughter against Jana Pollen, who was et once committed on the Coro ner's warrant to Nswgate to take her trial.-- Tun Fines iN ELSTCHEAP, Czer.—By Mr. W. Payne, at the King's Heed Eutcheap , to inquire into the circum stances connected with the fires which occurred upon the minims belonging to Means. Knight and Foster, stationers, on Saturday last. It will be remembered that a female named Hanish Horton, a servant to the occupiers of the upper part of the premises, was taken into custody upon sus potion of having wilfully set fire to the place, end after being examined before the lord Mayor at the Mansion House, was remanded for additional widener—The evidence produced on the present occasion differed bat little from that which has already been made public, and the jury returned the following verdict " That the premises were wilfully set on tire, but there was not auffideat evidence to fix upon the - -•en who so art them on Are." THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS. The College of Physicians of London have frater niaed with the Lord Mayor, not with the General Board of Health. " Feeling," they say, " that on the re-appearance of epi demic cholera in England, the public may naturally look to them ter adage and guidance, they have deemed proper" to oommunicate with the Lord Meru, not with the board appointed by government, to devise and execute the mea sures of prevention and alleviation which the peculiar cir cumstances of the time require. Before, however, the College of Physicians had appointed their cholera committee, or, at all events, before the cholera committee bad drawn up their resolutions, the General Board of Health bad already decided on and taken their course of action ; so that Oefore the college resolutions had been heed of, every recommendation and suggestion con tained in them were ac•ually embodied in the °Hen and vegetations (having the force or law) Woad by the General Board of Health to the local authoritiis of Bogle-id and Scoz land, as well as in the instructions and directions given to the public in their first and second notification. It must be satishctory to the public to find so perfect an agreement se to the DICAMITtI proposed to be taken on this occasion between the General Board of Health and the Col lege of Physicians of London, as far so the latter have thought fit to enter into the subject. Au the Board of Health bad promulgated the measures bath of prevention and mitigation which they had resolved on adopting before the College of Physicians took any step in the matter; and as the College appear to have road the first notification of the Board, and to have scrutinised their first orders and regulations in no very friendly rit, the p m ublic may receive the comfort of tbe assersam spi that themedical skill and science of the country could devise no better means of meeting the threatened cala mity than three which the Bawd of Health had decided on taking, since the College of Physicians recommend, so tar as they recommend anything, those very measure, and no others. The Board of Health, indeed, have thought it necessary to do much more than the College of Physicians recommend, sed "nave deemed it expedient to advance a step beyond the college in reference to a matter coming more particularly under the cognisance of that body. Impressed with the argent neeessity of attending to the very first indication of the presence of a disease which runs its rourse wit" such frightful rapidity as cholera, the Board of Health Oeemed it proper to give the public the most earnest caution and the minutest instruction on this noint, and to arm "the hemis of families, the matters of schools sad workhouses, the rerun or minute of large estieolishments, clergymen, and other intelligent primes," with the means of giving imme diate aid to any individual under their charge attacked with THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1848. the grerritery spree= et relent, at Oros mad oars aleenrosenseerhee seedier sedreese Gerd sn• be rolePtli preened ; not, irked. et* • rev et ungenediNt tit. • at - Wier el the Cid= Or mgrs. dr dry areal Ir.

The only point on which there is a positive difference of opinion betws en the General Board of Health and the Col lzitr re ysirians, is On the use, during the prevalence of e cholera, of green vegetables and fruit. In the third offinal Wader, just issued, the Board of Health state the grounds on which they ventured to recommend the tempo. rary abstinence from such anklet of diet. They state that from the wh,le teuour of the evidence which has come before them, it appears to them to be proved beyond a doubt that the effect of the diffusion of *be cholera poison in the atmo 'photo, is to produce in great numbers of persons who breathe suck au stmesphere an irritable state of the bowels, which irritable state of the bowels is the most powerful pro disposing cause known to an immediate attack of the Marne. See detailed evidence of this fact in the ob servation. On this fact the General Board of Health ground their recommendation of abstinence from those particular articles of diet which are univirsally admitted to be unsuitable to such an irritable state of the bowels. Without any regard whatever to this fact, the college of I physicians recommend the ordinary use of these articles of diet. They advise persons living in districts in which cholera prevails to adhere to that plan of diet which they have gene rally found to agree with them. On the onsciple sonic omens sane, the fallacy is the absence of the siznis. See " Decisive evidence of the general prevalence of B ,wel Complaints in epidemic districts :—ln St. Petersburg ;" "The Instructions issued to the people In Russia by the official authorities;" Colonel Du Plat's " Statement of the Experience at Warsaw, " " Sanitary corresponding statement of the experience at Hilton."

And what is the meaning of that e x pression ? I know very well that there are mixed questions among all politi cians, and I tell you now that I calculate confidently upon having the support of men who upon former Locations have opposed me. And I will tell you why I calcu late so—became they have done me the honour to say that while I represented them I did so faithfully—that I did so honeetly, and that I did tee work like a god servant. (Cheers and " No.") Now, you are perfectly at liberty to so, " No, no," if you like ; bat I tell you that it has been d, and 'that I am mere proud of that than of any other compliment that has been paid to me during the course of my life. I think that it is no small compliment to have it said, at the close of a six years' service, that the man who has represented the largest constituency in the kingdom be, at all events, performed his duty con scientiously and independently, that he has broken no pledges, and that he returns back to his retirement as good and as honest a man as he was when they sent him to par liament. I know it is owing to that, and to that only, though I don't protases to claim it, that there has been tendered to me support from various quarters, from whence I hail no right to expect kindness. It is from that con sideration, and that only, that I have not thougbt myself at liberty to decline the request made to me. That is my excuse ; I hope it will be sufficient. Reject me if you think proper—elect me, if you like that better; but if Ipo beck into retirement, my conscience will be at rest that I have dew my duty in former times, as well as in now coming forward to offer to represent you. (Hear.) If ever there was a time or a period in the history of this country when a member of parliament should go in dependently within the walls of the Rouse of Commons, this is that time or that period. I shall go there, if lam elected, with no strong party feeling, but with an ardent desire to acquit myself independently. I have been asked if I will support her Majesty's present government. My answer is, that I will not promise to support or oppose the men, but I will support or oppose their measures according to their value in my estimation. I have no personal ambition to at tain in going to parliament; and I hays no personal objection to the men who bold the reins of government, and as tonils they conduct their affairs constitutional!, they s have my support. I know no men whom could wish to replace them. They do not form so strong • government as I should wish, but as I have no wish to supplant them by a tory govern ment, I would say, let us have • strong government; let us have a strong whig government, if you like; nay, if the voice of the people wills it, let us nave a strong radical go vernment; but above all things I say, let the government be stronr, and let the country know what their measures are, and have in opportunity of pronouncing its verdict upon them. But I say that I have no objection to her Majesty's present advisers, and their measures shall have my must careful consideration. Thus for as to the conduct which I shall pursue, if I have the honour of again representing York shire. And now, then, as to that principle of conducting our foreign trade which is more especially called free trade. I could—if I thought it right to detain yoa—l could ask some gentlemen whom I see around and before me, if they tho roughly understand, and, if they do, if they will attempt to explain, what they mean by, • thorough free trade. ("Tell us what you mean.") I will tell you what I mean ; and I will tell my friend below, whose face I know, but whoa name I forget, that he may put any question to me that he pleases. I am not come here to skulk (Cheers.) If I do not like his propositions I will tell him so plainly, and he may make what he likes of my answers. Now if you mean by the term free trade, the taking off the duties on all the articles of general consumption to such an extent as will enable the Chancello ' Exchequer elan to r - the debts of the county of the t. equer day to pay and to pay the interest on the funded debt, then I will go with the Chancellor of the Exchequer as far as he likes to go in that direction; for I can see no reason why any man living can object to any duties being extinguished if there be enough to provide for the wants of the exchequer without them. But 1 know Leeds men perfectly well. I know that if they are Torkshiremen they are perfectly honest; and I won't insult you, Yorkshirenaen, by supposing for an instant that you wish to get all the duties off, and leave the public cre ditor to take his chance. (" No," and " Hear.") I know that 1 am addressing men who have money in the funds or money in savings banks; and you know as well as I do— if you sweep off ell the duties now payable on articles bee tight from abroed—where you will be at the end of the year, when, instead of receiving your dividends as usual, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be constrained to say, "Gentlemen, lam insolvent, and I cannot ply yea." I be• lieve there are men who, though they dare not avow it, are anxious that free trade may be applied to all those branches with which they have no connexion in the state, and who would be glad to see all the parties connected with them left in the lurch. I have lived long enough to find out that ; and therefore I will only be a free trader so far as free trade can be carried out with due regard to the claims of the public creditor. I will take my stand upon that, if you send me to represent you; and I know that when the day of revolution comes, if come it may, you will say, " This man haa been an honest trustee." With regard to my opinions on this point, I know it was said in 1847 (when they uy I ran away from a contest), that !although the corn laws were abolished, I would toe ready to revive them if I could. But so far was that from the truth, that I said on the hustings at Wakefield, at that sane election, that he most be a madman who would revive them if be could. It was carried by a large majority of the House of Commons, assented to by the House of Lads, and sanctioned by her Majesty, and 1 am not the man, in 184 e, to try to revive those enactments. I will go further, and my that he would be a madman who should try to revive them • and that, from what I have seen during the last six mantis, though I did oppose the repeal of the cora laws, I am not sorry that they were repealed, because I do not know what mischievous men might not have done in recent times, in or 'er to effect their repeal. Another point t hat seemed to have at tracted great publz interest, condoned Mr. Deuison, was economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure. Upon that Neat be had taken the liberty of saying in his address that he thought it the duty of parliament to insist upon the utmost possible reduction of expense in every department of the state. He had no interest in keeping up high salaries, or more sleeks employed than were necessary, and, therefore, he would support any reductions that a committee of the House of Coalman, lifter due inquiry, oh-iuld rep.irt to be practicable. It was the duty of parliament to take off the burdens from the shoulders of the working el as tar as it could be done with safety to the state. either by a re duction of duties or diminution of salaries. Upon the ques tion of the endowment of the Roman catholic priesthood, he said in 1847, and be would say now, that be shoull oppose any proposition with that view, come from what quarter it might. He could not conteive that any proposition could be made far that object that would be just toward all parts of the community—that would be just to the church, and, at the same time just to the people. They could not possibly endow the FLomish priest hood with annual stipends, without either taking away the Mr. W. W. Yawwau than asked a series of questions, to which Mr. Deni:on ran woven.

A meeting of liberal electors of the West Riding, re►ident in Menches.er, wsi held at Newell's-buildings in that city yesterday (Tuesday) evening ; Mr. 0. Wilson In the shah.. Resolutions in layout of Sir C. Eardley as can didate for the Riding were moved and seconded by Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. Bright, M P., Mr. G. lisdfeild, and Mr. W. Rawson, end passed unanimously. A numerous calamine* was then appointed to canvass the electors resi dent lrithat city and neighlsourhoul. This meeting is referred to in another part of our paper. SIR C. EARDLEY'S CANVASS AT ROTHERHAM. ROYEZUHANI MONDAY EvEstoo.— Sir Culliug Eardley Eardley, Ben., 'arrived here this evening from Sheffield, for the purpose of personally communicating hie political senti ments to the electors. About 3,000 people congregated in front of the Crown Inn, from one of the windows of which Mr. Ald. CAILIWIT, of Lear, introduced the candidate. He exhorted the meeting to give aUr hearing to his hon. friend. The electors would find Sir C. E. Eardley en advo cate for those great principles which the liberal party had so much at heart. They would find him the advocate of free trade, economical reform, the extension of the suffrage, and freedom, both civil and religious, to all religious denomi nations. Sir C. EARDLNT, on presenting himself, was met by cries of " Sir Andrew Agnew ;" in reply to which he said that, although Sir Andrew was a personal sequaintence of his own, yet they were directly opposed to each other in politics, and, but for that variance in sentiment, he (Sir Culling) would pro bably at that moment be member for Edinburgh. Sir Culling then went on to say that in standing before the public that night he knew not whether great influence in that neigh. bourhood (the residence of Earl Fitzwillians) might be against him or in his favour. But this he did know, that the principles which he had came there to advocate were the prinuipies which he had always understood Earl Finwilliam was senentitted to—the principles of religious equality, and reform and progress. (Cheers.) He was convinced that rlrh iar st meetiog would listen to what he had to say, *eu was not one amongst them, who really loved do principles of liberty and popular reform and Ezs, who could consistently refuse him his vote. Sir c then proceeded to expound his sentiments en the subjects of an extension of the franchise, free trade, an improved management of the public financee, and dm endowment of the Roman catholic priesthood of Ireland hydra:ate. Aftsrelaborately dieemaing these topieseeriaties, the rposker adverted to what he called the unwarrantable rand nmesneous treatment that he had within the last day or two experienced from the Times newspaper. That =i had inserted the whole of his speech delivered at on Saturday, with the exception of one passage, in which he appealed to the sense of honour and justice of the editor, and asked to have justice, This pangs had been oat oat. The editor felt he had done him an injustice ; but Its had not the manliness or the honourable feeling to con fess it. If, however, he did not within three or four days from that time confess himself in error, and make some pro pp.a apology for the shameful misrepresentation of hie (Sir Culling's) character, he should feel bound to tell the men of Yorkshire some of the secrets of Printing-house-square. (" Oat with them.") He did not like to refer to persons, but, if driven to it, by should be obliged to expose what he knew of the infiuenoe that was exercised over the character of the articles in the Tillie/ newspaper, and to show that the antipathy to himself resulted from a very unworthy motive. Before concluding he wished to add that he would rather by ten thousand times that a liberal Yerkshireman would re present that constituency than represent it himself; but, on an occasion like the present, it was the duty of the electors, not to flatter men, but to support principles. Sundry unimportant questions were then put to the candi date, which he speedily disposed of by reference to his address. lir. CABIWTT, after a few remarks upon the satisfactory character of the speech just concluded, said—l ask you, by a show of hand', to declare whether you think Sir Calling Eardley is a fit and proper person to remnant you in parlia ment. Let thaw who think that he is hold up their nght hands. The meeting responded by loud plandits, and almost every hand was elevated in favour of Sir Culling Handley, after a few words in acknowledgment from whom the meeting broke up. Sir Culling Yardley was to remain all night at Rotherham and to proeeed to-morrow morning to Huddersfield, in pro elocution of his winning tour of the West Riding. Hl DDIr,BsFIgLI+, TUESDAY.—Sir C. Eardly arrived hers to-day, and delivered a public address to a few hundred persons, who assembled to hear an exposition of his political opinione. There was no demonstration of popular feeling either for or against the hoe. baronet. MR. ROEBUCK. Yesterday placards were posted on the walla of Leeds, call ing out the electors to attend a meeting on Wednesday (this day) at the Court-hour, to decide whether Mr. R.wbucit should be put in nomination. Another placard ran as to:- lows Electors of the West Riding,—A requieitioci is now in mauve of sig nature to John Arthur Roebuck, Req., to stand for the Riding, on the brood priaciples of civil and religious liberty.

A variety of load people were pressed to stand, but one and all declined. At length the tories found a candidate in te e D avin of a Mr. Rena Hampden, brother of the celebrated Dr., then living at a small place in Little H ar l ow , w ei r ;; he had rented for a couple of years or so from Sir George Nugent. Mr. Rena Hampden was a man of milts ambition and of a little popu l ar it y . He was t descendent of the great Hampden, but as some one said, the eagle of those days had degenerated into t " wren." Having started him it was neecoerssssatrryy that the Williamson, for theirown sakes,ahould bring 'min. Their party fought for him like tigers. To the Clayton. the contest was one of life or death. They fought with equal violence. All the bad passions that had slumbered for a dozen years were again aroused within the borough: all the old family feuds and animosities were re-excited, and with the display of the old " blue " and "copper " flags there came forth again the " undistinguishable throng " of bitter recollections, lung subdued yet fondly cherished to be now revived in all their pris tine rancour. The result of this frightful contest was the return of Sir William Clayton by one vote; the numbers being, for Williams, 233 ; Clayton, 170 ; Hampden, 160. The cost on both sloes was excessive. The last voters were said to have held out for sums which, in so poor a town as Marlow, are equal to a year's income. Of course a return, under suckcircumstances, could not stand without an in quiry. A petition was presented on the part of Mr. Hampden, praying for • Committee on the ground both of bribery and disqualification on the part of voters. A scrutiny was opened, which lasted from the 16th of March to the 11th of April 1812. The facts disclosed on both sides showed a most extraor dinary system of vote-making to have been prevalent in the borough. One of the voters struck off was a man named Redmond, Mr. Williams'. own butler, who had qualified for a cottage at Temple-mills, let to him for the express purpose, as Mr. Williams himself told the committee, of enateing him to vote. Another voter wanted to qualify for a pear tree ! Hie house and land were admittedly insufficient, but he was asserted to have a pear-tree in hie garden which produced fruit equal in value to the golden apples in the gardens of the Hes perides. The qualifications of several other voters were no better, and faggot-votes were struck off on both sides. At length a vote was objected to, the evi dence respecting which compromised very honourable names. A lady of high rank, daughter of Sir William Clayton, was summoned to attend. Dr. Locock ap peared for her, and assured the committee that in her " interesting situation" attendance would be impossible. The facts of the case strongly savoured of bribery, and the circumstances attending it were altogether un pleasant. One person was committed to the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and after five days, during every one of which the exposure became hotter, the committee struck off the vote from the sitting mem ber'. poll. At this stage of the proceedings Sir William Clayton thought it prudent to give way, and Mr. hampden obtained the seat. Dearly, however, wan it purchased. The expenses of the petition are estimated at not less than 4,000!. to each member. A subscription had been opened at Marlow to pay Mr. Hampden's costs, and many of the tory gentle men put down their names for various sums. Only one of them paid! Mr. Hampden sat through the parliament; he spoke once or twice, but mcde no im pression, and, what was worse, got no appointment. When the conservative split came, he sided with Sir Robert Peel in opposition to Mr. Williams, who went with the protectionists. Mr. Hampden " suffered martyrdom from both sides," without any chance of leaving the reputation of his great progenitor. Of course when the dissolution came there was no hope of re-election on the Williams interest at Marlow; so, Mr. Hampden retired to his estates at Barbadoes, where it is understood he still resides—and is likely to reside. The election of 1847 was not a bit leas corrupt than that of 1841. The account of that must be reserved for another day. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 28, The arrival of Lord Clarendon is rumoured for Thursday next, when it is stated the appointment to the vacant bishopric will be announced. The selec tion of an Englishman as master of the Royal School of Armagh, and the unpopularity of the appointment, would incline one to hope that discontent be not stimulated among . the clergy of the establishment by a second nomination of that nature. The income of the see is 4,4631. 3s. 01d., of which over 3,0001. arises from fines—of course this payment will be irregular. The loss to Ireland arising from the failure of the potato, and its consequential results, is cslimated at 4004,0001. . . . It is said that the lords of the Treasury have re fused to allow the office of crier in the Court of Exchequer, vacant by the promo•ion of Mr. Reilly, u well as that of clerk of the crown in the Court of Queen's Bench, vacant by the death of Mr. Bourne, to be tilled up. Coveniment is said to have decided on the adoption of this course, in order to carry out a system of retrenchment in the public expenditure. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN COMMERCE BY MEANS OP RAlLWAYB.—iesterday, • meeting of merchants and manufacturers and others favourable to the prosperity of India, took pl ace in the Town-hall, Manchester; the mayor in the chair. Several resolutions were passed in favour of the growth of cotton in India, and especially of proper means being provided fir its conveyance to thu ports. The chair man having said kit+ words in support of the objects of the meeting, Mr. Thos. Beery, president of the Manchester Cbamber of Commerce, moved the first resolution. He said India was much behind the intelligence of the age in having no railway or othcr efficient means of internal communica tin. He might take • rapid suing of the trade between this country and India. Having a population of 113,000,000, though our experts had increased within the last few years, they only amounted to 15d. per head per annum ; turning to Brazil, however, they &zonated to 6s. per head. India was, therefore, far below the standard it should occupy in the scale of consuming powers, an evil increasing by want of efficient means of bringing cotton from the interior to the coast. Tne remedy to be propo.ved was a railway to c immunicate with Bombay and toe other ports, from the interior, and especially from the cotton district& lie believed there were no fewer than five hundred individuals in Lancashire who were ready to talc.: twenty shares each : 50,000:. being thus nisei' in support of the undertaking, it would certainly had to its successful accomplishment —Mr. Bright, M.P., then came forward, and, in a speech et great length, supported the obeerrations of the preceding speaker, end &defined to te le :shameful delay manitested by the sstAndia Company in furtherance of railway projects.

HUMAN SKIN NAILED ON CHURCH DOORS.—Regent investigations at the College of Surgeons. in Lincola's-ion fli lee, have curiously confirined some traditions Img revs lent in Eisen and in Wi.rcestershire. The church dor of Iladrock, in the former county, displayed for generations what was said to be the skin of a Danish pirate who had been flayed alive as a punishment for sacrilege; his skin being stretched and nailed on the door of the edifiee he had robbed. A similar strange acid terrible store was told ab- g ut Copford church door, also in Essex, rind the locel hia.oriens do not fail to repeat the legend that explained how sacrilege was punished in old times. Bat the Saying of church robbers wee, it appear, not peculiar to Basta, for at Worcester • piece of skin was some years ago taken from the north door of the cathedral and be queathed to the Society of Antiquari , s in London. It is now preserved in Somerset-house with the deseririon that it had once belonged to a man caught in the fee! of Meshed the &enema be...tom:he hign altar.

GREAT MARLOW. " Where is Great Marlow ? " It is by no means an easy place to find. Mr. Bradshaw disowns it: even the index of his Guide does not mention it. Ask in London, and you will probab:y find it con founied with Melton or Malden, and be told that it is in Yorkshire or in Essex. irate that you have ascer tained it to be in Bucks, and that you only want to know how to get there, and you are sure to be told to go to Wolverton, "because that was the station for Stowe." If yon enquire about its representation yon will find every body equally in the dark. There is a vague idea that a Mr. Williams sits for it, but the name of the second member is en utter mystery. " Dodd's Companion" will inform you that it is a Colonel Knox, but you will find few people, even about the House of Commons, who know more of him than his name. The parliamentary history of the place sadly requires explanation. The borough of Marlow is situated on the Thames,l six miles across the country from the town of Maid enhead, and about 30 miles from London. The great family at Great Marlow, a century ago, wore the Clayton., the descendants of some merchant princes, who were lord mayors and representatives of I.ondoni in the protestant days of William the Third. The Claytons were lords of the manor of Marlow and principal proprietors of its house property, and one of them usually sat for the town, though not without paying pretty liberally in the shape of head money to the scot and lot voters who composed the consti tuency. In the year 1768, when the Clayton influence was at its zenith in Marlow, there existed in a little retired village in North Wales a hard working,"industrious, keen-witted blacksmith, popu larly known in his district as " Tom Will-ams." Tom Williams one day called upon a curate in the locality, who was of course a bit of a scholar, with some stones he had picked up on a hill hard by. They hammered about the speci mens, put them in the fire, and tried a variety of humble experiments with them, which ended in their determining to purchase the ground whereon they had been found. It was situated on the Parys Moun tain, near Amlwch, in Anglesea, and it proved that they had discovered the great copper mine, known afterwatds as " the Parys Mine," the produce of which lay for the meet part on the surface of the hill side, and which for many years after was productive of ore beyond every precedent. Tom Williams became a great man. In the town hall of Marlow you may see his picture now, and an honest, good-hearted creature }on may suppose him. The Welsh curate became the father of a Welsh peer, and the founder of a Welsh family, without a Welsh pedigree. Mr. Williams' keen perception of the useful soon led him to conclude that it would be a good plan to smelt his copper ore somewhere nearer to the London market, and in a place to which access was more easy in those days than Amlwch, in the county of Angle.ea. He accordingly came down the Thames, and finding au old man named Pengree, who had • little property to sell on the banks of the river, near Marlow, he bought it of him, and built upon the water's edge, very convenient for river barges, a smelting work of some extent. Hard by he erected for himself a house —now, bless your heart, "Temple Hall " with a magnificent lonic portico. Mr. Williams, as may easily be conceived, speedily became a great person at Great Marlow. The scot and-lot voters of that town invited him to fill one of their seats in " parliament house" upon the usual conditions, i. e., payment of a good round sum iu head money and treating. The Clayton, as may be sup posed, regarded this incursion with some little jealousy ; but circumstances led them to acquiesce in it. Somewhere about tho close of the century one of the ladies of the house was about to be married. Her port on, 10,0001., in hard cash, had to be paid down. The lawyers only awaited the fulfilment of that rather important item of the contract in order to complete the settlement. The money was not very easily forthcoming. Other , circumstances had occurred to render public life at the time less agreeable to the then representative of the family, and he decided on selling his house pro , perty in Great Marlow to the highest bidder; who proved to be Thomas Williams, hsq., of the Temple Mills. _ . The Williams party now declare that it was a part and parcel of this contract that the Claytons should relinquish the borough representation. This is stoutly denied upon the other side. In the convey ance there is, of course, no mention of any such stipu lation, and bow far the arrangement was implied can, at this distance of time, scarcely be decided. Nor does it greatly matter, for the Reform Bill, if it did little else, certainly abrogated agreements of that sort wheresoever or howsoever they may have existed. Mr. Williams represented Marlow until 1802. His son, Mr. Owen Williams, eat for it all his lifetime, and his grandson, Mr. Thomas Peers Williams, the present representative, has been its member ever since he came of age. The family added to their influence in the locality by other purchases, such as the property of the Borlase family, from Sir John B. Warren. They were not, however, permitted to hold their political position without fighting for it. " Harleyford-hall," on the north side of the river, looks frowningly down upon , " the mills" opposite, and the Clayton' once or twice san " the Coppers," as they contemptuously termed them, nearly to the list gasp for the seat. These straggles were, of course, most costly on both sides. It was not only the expense of the election, but the l e:pease of preparing for it, fur, as every - one who cc copied a house and boiled a pot within the borough, had a vote, the parties began to run up houses and to give people pots to boil upon their hearths. And then there was also the scrutiny at the pull, and the inquiry after it ; so that, what with the contest itself, and the head mosey to about 400 of the " free and independent," an election at Great Marlow became rather an expensive business. No small quantity of copper must the Williamses have ameltecl for these ambitious occasions. Up to the period of the Reform Act the Williamses had voted with the whigs. That measure, how ever, too deeply touched them, and they were thence. forward to ne round in the ranks of the tories. This was an important change for the Clayton interest. Their hereditary predilections were Foxite, and the 3 now found themselves on the popular side, at a periel of great political excitement. Mr. Owen Williams chanced to die just before the parliament of 1831 was dissolved, and Col. Clayton, now Sir William, came in without opposition, as a reformer, by the acclama mations of the Scot and Lot. In the parliaments of '32, '35, and '37, the Clay. ..... I J t i
