ALBAN'S (communal)). When Lord Listowel entered St. Alban's on the matted sight of the fish of February, 1841, he noshed to the hear of Dr. Webster, the gentleman who brought him arm. Dr. Webster was • character. For nearly half • esotury be had been eonenaed for the independent party in the borough at Bt. Alban's. His names among the poorer Men there was itabeeadod and it wee meritorious as- Vd,He had purged, en d bled, and keeled, and dosed whele of them, and their father" and mothers Mere them; and nom "of the right sort " had ever known the Dr. bard upon them for his bill. Fur • "hire" he might mix up now and then en extra nauseous dem, beta "red" was me to come off may, both as re. the medicine and the charges. Bury one knew the rr yd at. the Dr. knew every the. If he loved St. Alban's St. Alban's metals] loved him. Oa them or occasion we refer to, Dr. Webster re paired le the balcony on his first floor, and addressed the mendgessmbled in the raest. He told them that he " bed breediht them a stuns peed ma." (Loud ohms.) The lzgruerr very ethant and full of ;promise. was the twelfth time he bad had the honour of presenting a candidate to their no tice, and he had never failed but me." (Loud cheers again.) He presented to them the Berl of Listowel. What his lordship may have said is not on parliamentary re cord : Dr. Webster's oration is. Probably Lord Listowel said nothing. That he bowed is well ascertained : end the ladies of Bt. Alban's declared " that he hawed beautiful." That is :doebtless one of the qualifications of a lord in waiting : eloquence, possibly, is a ices indispensable accom plishment. Dr. Webster on the next morning took Lord Listowel round the town. He introduced his noble friend to every body, and introduced everybody to his noble friend. He managed everything for him; his post-horses, his music, his canvass, and his favours He ordered a publican to "let the poor fellows have some beer," and the publican immediately tapped several fresh barrels, and chalked up the mugs against " the committee." Let it not be supposed that these facts are unimportant ; they are all on parliamentary record, and, as will presently be seen, it era thousands to establish them . Before the poll commenced at this pireat St. Alban's "leo lion, six voters, supporters of Mr. Benj. Bond Cebbell, signed a requisition to the mayor that the bribery oath should be ulmiaistered to all the electors who came to poll. This was an unprecedented and urn ly unheard of proceeding in St. Alban's. Immediately it was known, the town was placarded with the num of the six gentlemen, one of whom was curate at St. Miasma's church, imprinted in deep black charmers.

Up to this woman the inquiry had been most vigorously pushed by counsel on both sides. On the Mowing day, however, it was observed that they did nothing but quarrel. Ha wit ness was asked what was the colour of his coat, the counsel on the other side immediately objested, and a protracted legal argument m to the rigt to put such a question in stantly cat The display of learning was so gre et, a the committee were quite confused. They had not the least Idea what it meant. On this same .30th of March the House of Commons, at four in the afternoon, proceeded to strike a committee to er mine and report upon a petition against the return of George Augustus Frederick Percy Sydney Smythe, Esq., commonly called the Hon.

It was rumoured on the back benches of the house that the me against Sydney Smythe, at Canter bury, was jest as bad as that against Listowel at St. Alban's.

A drunken fellow, one of the last voters reamiaing, refused to vote until a pint ”.1 which he carried was half filled with sovereigns, and his demand was complied with. Lord Listowel had, however, upon this occasion the tall advantage of the services of Mr. Haney Edwards, " accountant," and he succeeded in defeat- ing Worley by • majority of 7, the numbers being, for Regan, 288 ; Listowel, 268; Worley, 261; and Muskett, 160. The last gentleman shortly atter was found dead in his bed. His hank immediately closed, and his affairs being In inextricable confusion fell into Chancery. What Messrs. Repton and Worley paid it is difficult to say; their joint , penes probably were not much lees than 6,0001. Lord Lis towel is said to have averred that St. Alben's coat him in this, one year no leas a sum than 21,0(01., all of which was honourably liquidated. Shortly after this election Mr. Henry Edwards brought an action against Lord Listowel for work and labour done. It was the opinion of his lordship's friends that Mr. Edwards had had enough, and they advised him to defend the motion. I The cam came on for trial at Hertford, and was opened by Serjeant Shee for the plaintiff. It would net er have done, however, to permit the election secrete of St. Alban's to i transpire, so even in the midst of the trial the case was cut short by " a compromise " greatly to the regret of all the country gossips who expected tremendous fan from the exposure. Lord Listowel held St. Alban's until 1846. infinitely to the disgust of the electorate, who had no idea of so long an in terval elapsingg without another " competition." When the whigs succeeded to power two years ago Lord Listowel's seat became yawn in consequence of his re-acceptance of office ea a lord of the bedchamber. It had been generally arranged that the government candidates at this election /hada not be opposed: indeed, the parliament itself was within a few months of dissolution, and no object wee to be gained by contesting any place. Mr. Henry Edwards, however, was not inclined to let par an opportunity of op poring Lord Listowel. He placed his services at the dis posal of his old enemy, Mr. B B. Cabbell. Mr. Cabbell was not at all disinclined to give Lord Listowel a Roland for his Oliver. He put " 1,0001." in hie pocket and went down to St. Alban's. Lord Listowel had come down expecting no opposition and prepared to spend no money. He had a 501. cheque with him for legal and personal expenses, and no more. 1,0001. was just twenty time better than 601., so the large body of electors consented to take somewhere about 21. 2.. a vote, and to return Mr. Cabbell as their representa. tire. Lord Listowel thought he could not do better than pay off Mr. Cabbell in his own coin. An elector named Manlove accordingly appeared after the Adams fashion, with a 61. note which he declared that he had received to vote for Mr. Cabbell, and to bribe hie father to vote " blue" also. Manlove was put into Lord Listowel's carriage, and sent up to Mr. Coppock in London for examination. A petition, based upon the fact, was prepared and pre sented. A compromise, however, was sotto effected, and it was not proceeded with. Mr. Cabbell retained his seat until the close of that parliament. Shortly afterwards that benevolent gentleman, " the orphan's friend, and father of the fatherless," exercised his privilege, as • governor of Christ's Hospital, by giving Mr. Edwards a presentation for his son to that school It was a truly affecting mark of Mr. Cabal's regard, and of his full appreciatiok of Mr. Edwards's important services. 1847. The lest election for this borough was by no means the least interesting. It was understood to be a part of the compromise that Mr. Cabbell should not offer himself again and that " one and one " should be returned. Mr. Edwards , now the great elective influence of the town, was believed to be a party to this :omprorniee. Mr. Rep lan reappeared as a candidate. Lord Listowel did not. His place was supplied by the Hon. Frederick Keppell Craven, a brother of Earl Craven's, and a relation, by marriage, of the Earl of Ver ulam. This gentleman was introduced to the town by Mr. W. Cowper, and it was thought that Lew tralisiog any opposition from orhambury he would be able to secure succor. Some delay took place in bringing Mr. Craven into the field, the object beiug, as is believed, to rave expense. Some of the liberal party, however, were dissatis fied with this delay, and they sent a deputation to London to endeavour to obtain a candidate. Mr. Alderman Salomone, Mr. Bernal Osborne, and others were invited to present themselves, but were not to be persuaded. At length, through the intervention of the dissenters' eommiree, Mr. John Wilke, the former member for Boston, was invited to become a candidate. He consented to do so provided • requisition signed tea sufficiently large number of voters was presented to him. document wasprepared forthwith, and no Ism than 209 signed it. It must not be supposed that these I were all men of principle. On the contrary, a large number, no doubt, were actuated solely by the wish to have a " third men" in the field. Mr. Wilke came down; but, no sooner did he make his appearance, than Mr. Edwards expressed his decided opinion that he was released from all engagement sot to bring forward • candidate. A third being now in the field, he felt himself fully entitled to invite a fourth He selected Mr. Raphael, of Carlow notoriety. Wbat followed was ea., carton.. Mr. Blegg, the town clerk, was agent fee Mr. Repton and the torn.. That gentleman's managing clerk, however, undertook to act with Mr. Raphael, the liberal. Mr. Raphael and Mr. Repton tack house, which were used es offices, dun., immediately adja cent to each other. Somehow or another, though their politics were dissimilar, there appeared to be between them an identity of interest. Mr. Repton had made a very unsuccessful canvass, and had been heard to speak of leaving the town. When Mr. Raphael was announced, however, he and hie party began to cheer up. The election was to take place on the 'Thursday. Aday or two preceding there was much stir about Raphael and Repton's committee rooms. That their interest, somehow oranother were assimilated was shown by the result. Raphael (who had hardly canvesoed a vote) headed the poll with 296 supporters • Repton num bered 276; Wilk% 230; Conan. 126. Of 'thus there were no lees than 208 split votes for Raphael and Repton, the whig end the tory ; and of the 208, 180 are more than suspected of being at the disposal of the highest bidder. The election no doubt was an exceedingly corrupt one. although the expenditure may not have been so great u on other ocemicsa. It is estimated that Messrs. Raphael and Repton must have spent at least 3,0001. In what pro portions this team was distributed it was difficult to say. The other parties spent about 8001. apiece. Mr. Craven expected defeat, but Mr. Wilke fought a winning battle, and wee much chagrined at a result which he thought scarcely brought about fairly. There is no dcubt that many of hie voters were bought over—the number is estimated at about 60—but there is no reason to suppose that any inten tional deceit was poetised. Both parties were in fact out. generated by superior tacticians. Such is t he electoral history of St. Alban's. It will be seen that linos the period of the Reform Act it has been genie( worse and worse at every enomeding elealee. Its condition remarkably exemplifies some leading principles. respecting both constituents and representatives, which will be Sound applicable to most of this clam of boroughs. 1. The constituencies are decreasing. In 1832 St. Alban's had 867 voters; in 1841 the number was 686; there are now only 519 electors. 2. They are decreasing in respectability. In St. Alban's many of the best houses are closed, and the better class of voters who remain have refused to take any part in recent contests. The praline Lord Yoram shrink. from the town, and the clergy have not voted at either of the last two elections. _ _ - 31 .7 117 e system is ultimately ruinous to all concerned. In this Nee we have seen how Sir Francis Vincent, Mr. Turner and Mr. Mitskett suffered, and how Dr. Webster died a lunatic in consequence of engaging in It : and how the Orinistoss, Mr. Ward, Lord Listowel, and many others. were " herd bit" by being drawn into the YOKO'. 4. The representatives returned by these places an of en inferior elms. Since the Reform Act St. Alban's has not had one repreemtative who has acquired parliamentary dis tinction, with the single exasOon of Mr. 11. G. Ward. 6. These towns go virtually unreprerentecl. St. Alban's since the Reform Aot has returned one member on each aide of politico (thereby neutralising its own vote) to every par liament except that of 1832. 6. The system is profitless to those who alone can profit by it. Badly got, badly spent." Not a single instance is on record of a bribe being turned to adroit's., whilst there is abundant evidence to show that every sum so received coca eons idleness and aim.. . _ But why multiply thaw general principles ? It is enough that the interests of England are at stake ; that purity of election is the point at iota ; that the object to be gained is to secure a mon honest and more efficient immortal body. The venal oonstituenchis cinch boroughs as St. Alban's will never supply this: a Raphael, with gold, would defeat on that battle-field the finest mitts of the world without it. The remedial measures desired by the honest portion of the St. Alban's electorate are the ballot and the extension of the boundaries of this borough, so as to include the hundred of Cashlo, which comprises the towns of Watford and Hemel Hempstead.

On Sunday last throughout the diocese of Dr. O'Higgins the Te Deum was offered up for " the defeat of the government colleges scheme "—die ; comfiture would be tliti more correct phrase. The address to the clergy directing this ceremony, declares " lasting gratitude to our glorious Pontiff, Pins IX., who could neither be cajoled nor intimidated by England." I The King's County Chronicle of Wednesday mys : We rejoice in being able to state that the banditti who robbed Major Plubbs and murdered Sergeant Grant, near ' this town on the 2nd instant, have been traced out, and that the greater part of them are now in custody. It is to efforts such as have been made in this case that we must look for the suppression of crime, so far as that ob ject can be attained by the administration of justice Fur the family of Sergeant Grant, who have been by this awful occurrence plunged into misery and distress, much sympathy has been evinced. In consequence of the bravery of the unfortunate man, the jury, at the in ques t. unani mously agreed to memcrialse the authorities on behalf of the widow and orphans, praying that they might be pro vided for. The petition was prepared by Mr. Muir, the foreman of the jury, and forwarded to Sir George Grey. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 22. WILLIAM SMITE ii•BRIEN ix ERROR e. Toe QtEEN.—. The argnmente in this case were resumed to-day. The court was crowded to excess, and • number of ladies occu pied seats in the galleries. Mr. O'Brien appeared to be in rather better health. The judges having taken their mats, Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., proceeded with the argument on behalf of Mr. O'Brien the plaintiff in err ; ro and was followed by the Attorney•dene rid, who closed the case on the pert of the crown. As soon as Mr. Monafhan had concluded, Mr. Napier, Q.C., said: There are three other cases, my lords, involving substantially the same points, and counsel attend on behalf of the prieouen. It is important that what ever observations we have to make should be submitted to the court before your lordships give judgment in this case; because, if judgment were given in this case, we could not argue the same points spin. We will take care not un necessarily to occupy the public time; but the care is one of extreme importance, and I therefore submit that you should hear what we have to offer before you proceed to give judgment. Attorney-General.--It appears to me, after the very full argument this case has received, that nothing further re mains to be said upon it. Mr. Napier.—lt would be presumptuous in me to say that the arguments in this case were not sufficient ; but that is not the question. The three prisoners have counsel em ployed at very great expense, and it is their opinion that they might be able to place tome of the arguments in a dif ferent light in this very novel and serious cost. In Frost's case the court heard the parties separately before giving judgment. In O'Connell's came the House of Lords dad the same thing. Surely it is not unreasonable in a case so seri ous as this—involving the life and liberty of tie pritoners— that their counsel should have the same privilege. The court might trust to counsel that they will not unnecessarily occupy the public time. They will discharge their duty with as high a tense of its responsibility, and with as much pro priety, as the Attorney. General. Chief Justice.—The other cases are not ready for argu ment; they have not been entered upon the list, and the books are not yet made up. Mr. I. S. O'Csllsghan.—A joinder in error has been put in to all the errors assigned ; and on the part of Mr. Wide nus I am ready to abide by the assignment of errors put for ward in the case of Mr. O'Brien. There can, therefore, be no pretence for saying that we are not in a position to go on with the argument on behalf of Mr. lef'bianus. We consider it most important that we should li,ve an opportunity of submitting our views to the court before judgment is given in the case of Mr. O'Brien ; and surely the parties will not be deprived of that to which they have a right—a fall dis cussion of the ease. Chief Justice.—Don't say another word about right. This is a matter which, in the present state of the term, must be settled by au arrangement between the parties themselves. The books are not prepared in the other cases. Mr. O'Callaghan mentioned that in Frost's case the court heard counsel as CIMICUS curie, a precedent which if adopted in the present case, would remove all difficulty. Mr. Smith O'Brien hers rose, and was about addressing the court, when Their lordship' began to confer together. At the conclu sion of which, The Chief Justice said,—The court is very anxious, as far as is in its power, to secede to the wishes oh the counsel for the different prisoners; and we are anxious not to pro. nounos any judgment until we have heard what can be urged in support of the errors. We, therefore, suggest that we would hear counsel for each of the three remaining pri soners who have writs of error depending—if the crown think proper, one counsel for each; and then, if the Attor ney-General should think proper to reply, he would be at liberty to do so. Judge Perrin.—Provided the prisoner in this case has no objection —provided he does not call for judgment at once. Mr O'Brien said that, so tar as he was yersonally con cerned, he could not pay sufficient homage to the ability of the learned counsel who had been ariegried to act on hie behalf; but it was right that the court should know that the other prisoners had not been consulted in reference to the selection of their counsel. He conceived that their cases were entirely involved in the deci.ion which the court should pronounce upon the one now before it; and it would be only fair towards them that they should have an op portunity of being heard by their counsel before that decision should be pronounced. That was strongly the impression of the other prisoners. Mr. Meagher had ad drawled a letter to him on the subject, which he would read to the court— _ --- ----- Chief Justice.—Better leave this matter in the hands of counsel. Mr Butt said, that be had been assistned as counsel tor one of the throe remaining prisoners, and he thought that the proposition of hutting one counsel fur each of them before the decision in Mr. O'Brien's case was as much as they ought to expect. It was finally arranged that one counsel should be heard for each of those prisoners before judgment in the present case; and that the counsel should confine themselves to tho points of error which had already been discussed in the case. PROVINCIAL. -------- REEIOIIII CABE OE EMBEZZLEMENT AT THE RAILWAT.—John Kyle was charged at the Liverpool police-office, on Tuesday, with embezzling the moneys of the London and Nerth-Western Railway Corn pony. Mr. Mitchell preferred the charge. The prosecutor said he wee the principal booking-clerk m the railway office in Lime-street. Daring the last twelve months he had lost immense sums of money, but could not conjecture how the loss arose. He was answerable to the company, and had paid different deficiencies, but could uever imagine where the money went. He found out at last that the prisoner, who was employed as a booking-clerk, had altered the figures in the book, and appropriated the money to his own purposes. He had lost a deal of money, but could only swear to one entry. That occurred on Wednesday, the 19th of August, the entry in the cash book being altered from 171. 10s. to 191. 10s. He made no mention of the circum stance at the time, but allowed it to go on until the Friday, when the board sat, when he took Kyle before the managers, and he confessed that he had robbed hint of twenty pounds daring the previous two months. The prisoner was dia. charged from his situation at the time, and the matter con- .• tinned under consideration until Friday last, when the board instructed him to prosecute the prisoner. He was committed for trial. REPRESENTATIONOPW/FITH DEVON.—A meeting of some of the leading conservatives for South Devon was held at Exeter on Tuesday lut for the purpose of considering the daps newsman to be taken consequent upon the vacancy about to be created for this division of the county by Lord Courtenay's resignation. Mr. Baldwin Fulton having been called to the chair, Mr. B. R. Parker proposed, and Mr. B. P. Bastard seconded, the proposition that Mr. Ke kewich would be • fit successor to the noble lord. The high church portion of the meeting however, recoilectiag that Mr. Kekewich had voted in favour of catholic emanci pation—he having been at that period in parliament—and not Whiled with his now declaration that he would never vote for a grant of money to the Rocnish priesthood to be taker from the funds of the protestant church, proposed through Sit T. F. B. Drake, seconded by Mr. W. H. Peters, that Sir R. Lopes, Bert., who was shortly expected from the continent he having written to say he was at the service of the electors, was • fit and proper person to be their representative, • mere of considerable excitement followed, at the termination of which the chairman put the question, desiring those In favour of Mr. Kekewich to go to the right side of the room from the position he occupied ; and those who were in favour of Sir Rilph Lopes, to the left. The disparity was great, and the chairman said the wierity of those present were in favour of a requisition being sent to Kr. Kekewich.—Sir Trayton Drake : Gentle men electors, recollect this is the vicinity of Roster only but there is South Devon and West Devon that will tall • very different story, and there the will support, and 1 will support, the hon. baronet Sir Ralph Lopes.—Mr. Peters : Protestants Humid support protestant principles.--Sir Tray ton Drake: lam • protestant, and I will, as my ancestors have done, support protestant _principles. Go to the Tower, and see what the name of Drake achieved and suffered there. This to day does not decide the quessien, South and West Devon will speak to them in a language not to be mis. taken, and declare themselves for Sir Ralph Lopes. A re quisition to Mr. Kekewich was now lad on the table, and received numerous signatures, the friends of Sir Ralph Loper quitting the room. SW 'Drama• LTCEIIIL—A new fame (or " enrionhire," ea it was called), mss produced last evening at this theatre, with very indifferent success, but yet with as much as it deserved, or rather more. It was a string of practical jokes, generally dull ones, on a subject which is no joking matter, the in firmities of age. There are a couple of superannuated soldiers, Captain Addle and Major Muddle, who are old friends and neighbours. Both ere worn out with years and hard service; and the veterans, by their blindness, loss of memory, and absence of mind, are conitintly getting them selves and each other into confusion and perplexity. One old gentleman thinks that the oths•.'s house is his own, and boils his watch instead of the egg 'ne is cooking for supper Bach puts on the other's coat by 'mistake, and gets my stifled by unexpected =licks he finds te. the pockets. There is a sort of love affair mixed up wit; ill this. Captain Addle has a daughter, and Major Mm; ik a son ; the young people are lovers, but the elders ►is,* other views for them. In the ulundering attempts ' the old folks to keep them asunder they are twice abut ',fp together, and hence we suppose the title 01 the piece.
