The detachments posted upon the road hem Linda to Molins-el-rey . have orders to repair to the places where the tocsin is rung to co-operate with the inhabitants of the towns." Thus, in default of military resources enough to prevent mails from being robbed " and burned" upon the high-road between the two moat important cap tab in Spain, the captain-general saddles the people with the burthensome and dangerous duty of watch ing the road themselves, and makes the inhabitants 0 / Ti llages responsible in the liberty of their persons for the safe passage of letters with which, in the great ma j o rity, they have nothing whatever to do. Add to this, that by obliging these villages, which are for the wet part in a most defenceless condition, to take an scare part against the Carlists, the government exposes them to an almost certain severe retaliation from those vigorous and vindictive enemies. The poor v illages are thus placed between two fires, and, in geed of being asoisted and protected by the military power, then are plagued and oppressed. A circular o f thi s kind is quite enough to alienate the allegiance eta whole province like Catalonia, where the mass of the poor in their hearts favour the Carlist cause, and stand rather disposed to screen the rebels from the pursuit of the troops than to join the troops in pur suit of the rebels. The mail doe from Catalonia yesterday had not arrived op to a late hour of the night. The cause of its detention is not known. A letter from Bar celona, of the 13th, describes that town as in a great state of alarm in consequence of a rumour that all the manufactories would be closed on Saturday, the 17th. A notice, however, of such closure ought to be put eight days beforehand, at the Alcaldia, and only three such notices had appeared. A petard had exploded on the 11th, in the Rambla, which frightened the people and produced a good deal of confusion. Many bad received threatening letters from Vilella and other insurgents, as well as from members of a revolutionary secret club in the tows, which styles itself by the mysterious designa li - tion of the "Froteus of Liberty." All things seemed in an agitated state, as if on the eve of revolution. The band of " The Student " was attacked upon the night of the 17th. Valdivielo, the commander of the attacking column, and an officer of cavalry, were wounded. It was re-attacked upon the 18th by the column of Captain Bobabilla. The rebels had one killed, and lost eight horses, with their furniture, various fire-arms, white cloaks, &c. During the Queen's residence at San Ildefonso, no one will be allowed to visit, pass through, or reside at that place, without a corresponding passport. Senor Benavides did not go to Li Granja on Sun day (18th). His visit was to the King-consort at the Pardo. The Faro reports that the object of this visit was to prevent the King from residing at the royal palace during the Queen's absence, or even at Madrid. The King is said to have demanded • written order. When Senor Benavides returned to Madrid, a cabinet council was held late at night, and shortly after the King received a written order. which set forth reasons for his not residing at the royal palace. The King came to Madrid again yesterday, and stopped at the palace of San Juan, where he dined with his brother, the Infante Don Fernando, and his sisters. At 7 in the evening he returned to the Pardo. FR A NCE.--SITOCKING PARRICIDE.—The journal de Lille publishes an account of a double parricide at that place. On May 20, a tailor, named Lahousse, of the Rae Jean Jacque. Rousseau, sent his daughter Ilortense, aged lit, is grater named Pennequin, to purchase some jam foe his family , which was spread on bread, and eaten by Laheame, his wife, and one of his daughters. An hour after, these three person. gave signs of having been poisoned, Hortense alone, who had not taken anything, not being affected. Three days after the victims, after having been subjected to different remedies, recovered their usual health ; but, after eating some rice soup, they were ail seized in a simi lar way, and the father died, after six days of horrible suffering. The mother re mained for nearly two months in the hospital, but then, being paralysed in all her members, insisted on being re moved to her own house. She was attended by her daugh ter Hortense and a medical man. The latter remarked that when the poor woman began to recover ahe immediately had a relapse. This excited his suspicion against the daugh ter, but he did not communicate it to the police. The police, however, had cellected information which induced them to watch the girl, and she was arrested. The day after her arrest the mother died. She then made a full confession of her guilt. It appeared that, after administering the jam, she made every effort to threw the suspicion of having coin. witted the poisoning on Pennequin, the grocer. She first went to the commissary of police, and made a declaration ; abs then went to Pennequin, accompanied by a neighbour, and reproached him with negligence, etc. The body of her father having been opened immediately after his death poision was discovered in it. On the 20th June. Pennequin was tried before the Correctional Tribunal for homicide by imprudence, but acquitted ; the public prosecutor declaring that even a shadow of suspicion did not rest on him. The girl Hortense was present at the trial, but nothing in her feattues or conduct manifested either fear or remorse. When questioned by the Jugs d'lnstruction after her arrest, her ILCOUIIt was that she had poisoned her father, mother, end sister in order to be free from their reproaches, and at liberty to carry on a disorderly course of life with a young sculptor named Logeois, living oppo , ite her father's house, with whom she had intimate relations. She declared that it was at his instigation, and by means of a false medical prescrip lion which he had drawn up, that oho had procured and ad ministered the poison. Logeo ' s was, inconsequence, arrested, sad made, it is said, complete avowals. Toe chemist who said the poison had not, it appeared, inscribed it in his books, and he even obstinately denied that be had sold it. It was, consequently, necessary to take the girl Hortense to the man *s shop, where she pointed out the bottle from which the poison had been taken. She was, both in going and returning, accompanied by an immense crowd. Her sister, who was also poisoned, lies in a most alarming state, and her death is expected almost every hour. BELGIUM.—BRUSSELB, JULY 24.—The Emanci .Wtost states that M. Rogier had received from the King a Letter, inviting him to form a new cabinet. It is said that M. ft.ostier has acceded to the request, and will proceed to terry it out immediately.

REPORTED DEATH OP LADY ROLLAND.—There is not any foundation for the report published in the Times yeeterday, and copied Lute the evening papers , of the demise of Lady Holland. The mansion of the noble lord, et Ken nington, was literally besieged yesterday afternoon with in quiries ; and it is almost needless to nay the numerous friends of her ladyship were highly pleased to ascertain it was a mistake.

Yesterday a meeting of the metropolitan dele gates appointed by the several parishes to co-operate for the repeal of the window tax was held in the hoard room of the Nlarylebone court-house. G. Daniel, Esq : in the chair. Mr. IiOWATITII (St. Pattern) was delighted to behold their agitation promising such successful results. The tax was not only partial, but bore particularly severe on the poor, whom it deprived of light and air, the greatest blessings that heaven could bestow. (Hear.) It was, in fact, absurd ' to speak of the proposed sanitary reforms to long as the win dow tax existed. He therefore felt great pleasure in moving a resolution to the effect— That they were so impressed with the injurious., unjust, unequal. and opprthathe effect of the tth on ',lght, sir, health, and moral% in- Yulved in the odious window tax, that they Mt that any mosaic for the promotion of the health of towns which wee not accompanied by repealed• the window tax was a delusion, a mockery, and o snare. Mr. STANFORD seconded the resolution. Lord Butner STUART supported the resolution. The window tax is exceedingly oppressive as regarded the working classes, besides being unjust, the sister kingdom being free from it, although the Irish landlords possessed large rotates and immense annual incomes. The repeal of the corn laws gave the people the itaff of life, and they now required the repeal of the window tax to enable them to enjoy it. (Hear, hear.) lie pledged himselt to raise his hand upon all OCCattiollll against the tax, and never to cease his exertions until it was repealed, especially if they honoured him by returning him to parliament. Sir B. Hart, Bart., said that upon all occasions he voted against the tax, and that if again returned as their Tepee. sentative, of which he had no doubt, he would persevere in his opposition until the impost ceased to exist. Mr. GEEtIN (St. James's) moved the second resolution, to the effect that, merely regarding the window tax as a fiscal imposition, they deemed itin the highest degree unjust to tax the English tra ,esman for the necessaries of life, while the property of the Irish landholders was exempted from any share in the taxation to which that of the English pro prietors bad been fur years subject. Mr. SAVAGE (?tarykbone) seconded the resolution. Mr. EWEN (Westminster) read an extract trom a parlia mentary bluebook, dated 1843, in which it was recom mended that the window-tax, which then amounted to 1,515,2811., should be abolished, as being unjust and un equal, and injurious to health and morals, and destructive of trade. Mr. WALLER (St. Paul's, Covent-garden) moved the third resolution, tilling upon all constituted bodies inte rested ;in the repeal of the window tax to m►ke its repeal a primary object during the ensuing elections, by returning no candidates who were not pledged to co-operate in attain ing that great public end. Mr. Micnie (Marylebone) seconded the resolution. Mr. M.K.EvaLv (Marylebone) moved that a copy of the resolutions adopted that day be forwarded to Lord Duncan, with a vote of thinks for his lordship's unwearied exertions to effect the repeal of the window tax. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. MAIL AGF—NTS. TIIE MISTAKE.—We have re ceived a communication from a correspondent stating, that the error of leaving a letter-bag from the Bahamas at Ber muda, mentioned in a letter which appeared in the Ex peen of the 23rd inst., arose entirely from an imperfect label having been affixed to the bag, and not from any mis take of the mail-agent. The Post-office and Admiralty de partments have exonerated that gentleman from all blame in the matter. " The Admiralty agents at the various packet ports," adds our correspondent, s' are an ill-used close of offi cers : they have most important and onerous duties to per form, for which they are iil-requited. NVhea appointed as Admiralty agents their hall.pay as naval officers is stopped their salaries are small, and they are not consi lered on actual write, although their duties are of a confidential and most responsible character." ALLEGED LUNATICS' FRIEND SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was held yesterday at the British Coffee-house, John T. Perceval, Esq., in the chair. This valuable society was formed for the protection of the British subject from unjust confinement on the grounds of mental derangement, and for the redress of persons so confined; also for the protection of all persona confined as lunatic patients from cruel and improper treatment ; to receive applications from persons complaining of being unjustly treated, or from their friends, aid them in oltaining legal advice, and other wise assist and afford them all proper protection ; and to en deavour to procure a reform is the laws and treatment af fecting the arrest, detention, and release of persons treated as of unsound mini—The Chairman, in opening tho busi ness of the meeting, intimated that the society, which had hitherto been kept afloat principally by the aid of Mr. Luke James Hansard, stood in need of funds to enable it to effect its important objects.—Mr. Bailey read a report, detailing the views of the society and several cues of oppression in which it hat' interposed, and pointing out the defects of the exist ing Board of Commissioners in Lunacy. To exhibit the in adequacy of the investigations of the commissioners, the report mentioned that Dr. Turner, within six ninths, visited no fewer than 6,593 patients in 148 visits, travelling 3,351 miles, allowing a computed average of eight minutes to each patient ; Mr. Procter, another commissioner, visited in the same period 6,57/0 patients in 131 visits, travelling 3,138 miles. Several resolutions were passed, pledging the meeting to forward the objects of the society, and expressive of gratitude to Mr. Luke James Hansard for his munificent contributions and active aid ; after which the meeting separated. DANCERS' PROVIDENT SOCIETT.—The third annual meeting was held yesterday, in the saloon of the Hay market Theatre; Mr. James Byrn in the chair. The balance-sheet stated that there bad been received 1161. from professional, 181. from honorary, 291. from annual, and 161. from official subscribers. The donations warts 431., and the ball tickets yielded 871. ; these, with other items, including 181. received that day, ma de the total receipts 3601. 9s. 11d. The total dishursements were 2061. 6s. 7d., leaving a balance of 1541 . 3s. 4d., of which 1011. had een invested, leaving a balance in hand of 501.35. 4d., and making the present funded property 4841. Several of the laws of the society were altered. One altera tion made ,the term of qualification for a member seven, in stead of an hitherto five yearn. A new law then mado enacted that no pecuniary relief should be granted to mem ben till the funds amounted to 2,000/. The other altera tions and business were unimportant, and • vote of thanks to the chairman eland the proceeding,. TIrE GERMAN HOSPITAL.—At a meeting, held yesterday evening at the Hanoveraquare Rooms, presided over by Mr. J. Pike, and composed of English and German supporters of the German Hospital, at Dalston, a series of resolutions were adopted formally establishing a society in aid thereof, to be called the " West-end Auxiliary Society," fixing the rules by which it is to be governed, and appoint ing the usual officers for carrying on its operations. Dr. Freund stated (in reply to inquiries) that nearly 3,000 patients, including the English poor in the immediate neighbourhood of the hospital, had been relieved since its establishment in October, 184.5; that besides a debt of 1,6001., due on account of the building, the expenditure was exiseeding the receipts to the extent of 801. a month ; and that he feared it must be abandoned, unless the 30,000 operative Germans in London lent it their assistance, either directly, or through the medium of the auxiliary society now esta blished, and by which the smallest donations or subscrip tions would be teeeiyni--announcing that then already re- ceived amounted to 1101. AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY.—The second an nual general meeting took place yesterday, at the offices of the company, Adelaide-place, London-bridge. Mr. S. J. Capper presided. The report of the directors was read. It commenced with the announcements that the unappro priated shares had been allotted and duly paid upon ; that themines at Reedy Creek were to be henceforward called the Tungkillo mines, and that nine additional sections of mineral land in the neighbourhood of the Kapunda mine had been recently purchased by the company. The com mittee of management had commenced operations on seven lodes at the Tungkillo mines, and two lodes at section 1,614. With reference to the question of a royalty on thespeeialanns y, the directors reported that they had an interview, on Dec. 17 last, with Earl Grey, and that they had subsequently corre sponded with his lordship on the subject ; but not concurring in his lordship's views as to the terms of the reference, and expecting to receive by the Brechin Castle the original dud' grant and protest, they proposed to Lord Grey to await der arrival of those documents before giving a definite answer, That vessel having however been unfortunately lost, and ma duplicates of the papers received, no further steps had bees taken. In consequence of the introduction and sub*equelet withdrawal of the Royalty Bill in the colonial legithitere, and for other reasons, the directors did not consider it aw nimble to press the subject on the notice et the government. In addition to the documents, various specimens et copper ore were lost by the wreck of the Brechin Castle. The specimens of stone sent by the Can ton, and supposed to ho tin, bad not been found to contain that mineral ; but the ascertained existence of the camponent parts of emery had induced the directors to' , order the shipment of 100 tons as an experiment, in the ex pectation that the quantity thus sent forward might prove the existence of pure emery at the Tungkillo mines. They had appointed Mr. Phillips as a mining captain, and sent out with him a supply of mining labour, measures which they believed would enable the committee of management to prosecute vigorously the operations of the compan.Th e directors observed with satisfaction the recent appo i n tment of the four colonial bishops, and announced that they had granted a glebe of 50 acres of the company's land for the pur pose of erecting •church, clergyman's residence, and schools to the Adelaide distriet,thus forming a head missionary station. The debtor and creditor account of the company showed a cash balance in hand of 1,7801. 7e. A protracted dis:ussion took place on the subject of the report ; various complaints THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1847. being made by shareholders against the directors, whom they accused of want of energy end skill in conducting their operations. The report was, however, in the end, adopted ; and the retiring members of the committee having been re elected, and the chairman and directors thanked, the pro ceedings terminated. ANTIQUITIES FOR TIM B =TIM MUSEUM.— Several cases of antiquities, intended for deposit in the British Museum, have been shipped at Leghorn for South ampton, on board the steamer Montrose, en route to their destination, and the Lords of the Treasury• hare issued the necessary directions to the proper authorities for their de livery on arrival, free of duty, to the establishment men tioned. EXPLOSION AND FIRE AT WATN ET'S D I STILLERY.— Yesterday afternoon the town of Wandsworth was thrown into a stato of great excitement, by a report that Watney's distillery was on fire. In the coune of a few minutes hun dreds of persons were to be seen hurrying to the spot, and on entering the premises, a spacious lofty building. termed the new distillery, wee found to be wrapped in one broad sheet of flame, and for some time it was teartd that the work of destruction would extend throughout the whole range of buildings. Three engines belonging to the premises were immediately drawn out and eat to work ; these were followed by several brigade engines. By the time the firemen from London came down, the strangers and workmen hod happily succeeded in stopping the further progress of the flames ; they were, however, far from being entirely extinguished, but, with the aid of plenty of water that waaprocured from the tanks on the premises, they were shortly afterwards wholly subdued. The damage done is of a very serious character, for the building in which the fire com menced is partially burned down, and the same was filled with a costly patent still which, of course, is materially in jured. The cause of the disaster lass been traced to the escape of hydrogen gas from the main hole, which, as soon as it came in contact with the furnace, exploded with a noise resembling the discharge of cannon, blowing part of the roof and sides of the premises out, and displacing the apparatus. Fortunately no one was injured ; but had the accident hap pened a few minutes sooner, the most disastrous emsequenccs to life and property would doubtless have occurred, for the men had just succeeded in drawing off the large quantity of 3,500 gallons of spirits from the same compartment. The loss will fall upon the Sun, Pticcnix, and Imperial fire officer. The damage done is thus reported to the insurance offices by Mr. Superintendent Braid weiod ; "New distillery and patent still—severely damaged by explosion and fire, and roof off. Cause—escape of hydrogen gee from main hole." - - - - INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.— AFFLICTING SUICIDE. — By Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of William Murch, aged 39. The deceased was foreman of car penter in the employ of Mr. Wyatt, the architect. For several days past the deceased's manner was wild and di, • ordered ; on the 14M inst., on the return of the workmen from breakfast, the deceased was discovered at No. 31, Gloucester-square,lying across the doorway of a closet in the front hall, in a pool of blood, having inflicted a deep incision in his throat with a penknife, dividing the carotid artery and jugular vein. Ho was conveyed to the above hospital, and for several days he appeared going on favourably, but on the 22nd the waned burst out afresh, and he expired the same night from the loss of blood. Verdict —" Temporary Insanity." —NEGLECT Or w Stuotost.—By Mr. Payne, at the Vestry-hall, Tooley-street, Borough,on the body of Charlotte Walker, a child about 3 years old, late a pauper of St. John's Workhouse, liorsleydown. The investigation was adjourned front Saturday, in consequence of a charge of gross culpa bility sud negh.ct againat the surgeon who had attended the deceased.--Elizabeth Curtis said she lived inthe St. John's, Union, and, on Friday fortnight, a man in the workhouse, named Rose, brought in a gallon of hot-water in a tin can, when one of the female paupers, a child about .1 sears old filled a half-pint pot with some of the het-water and brought it to the deceased, who, in endeavouring to drink it, got it spilt over her chest. The deceased screamed, and was soon taken upstairs, and some fl nir was pat on the wound. Ellen Mahoney, the girl who brought the water, cried, and said it was not her intention to hurt deceased. The accident happened about one o'clock, and Mr. Pettigrew, the house surgeon, was seat for, but he did not attend.—Mrs. Wood bine, matron to the Union, stated that Mr. Pettigrew was sent for, and came in the afternoon of the accident, but she could not say when he saw the child again. Jane Walker, mother of deceased, stated that she first called the attention or last witness to the state of deceased's mouth, the Sunday after the accident. It was then all in a blister, and the matron thea declared she would have the doctor to set the child, but he never came until the Wednesday, nor did she (witness) receive anything to apply to the mouth. Witness showed the ehiln's mouth to Mr. Pettigrew, and he said it would soon get better, though he remarked " What an awful state it was in." lie saw - the deceased a third time on the succeeding Friday, when he gave a box of ointment; and be told witness the day after deceased's death, which took place on Thursday last, that he was never more sur prised in his life than when he was informed the deceased , had expired.--Mr. W. H. Pettigrew stated that he bad seen I deceased on the 9th lost., when he noticed a superficial scald on the breast, and deceased did not appear at all depressed by it, and he understood it had been occasioned by hot water, bat did not look at the child's mouth. As soon as he heard of the bad symptoms, be had her re moved to the sick ward, and she was then seen daily until her death. Death was the result of ulceration of the bowels. The shock to the nervous system was very slight indeed, and there were no symptoms of inflammation in the windpipe. The witness was here examined at great length in a scientific manner by the coroner, hut his answers gave but little sates faction.—The coroner: flow came you to give a certificate to the registrar of deaths that this case was a "natural death ?" Were you not aware that a death from scalding could not be considered a natural death ? Witness: I was not aware that I was required to give any other certificate. Mr. Payne having summed up, the jury returned a verdict " that the deceased died from ulceration of the bowels, and they were of opinion that it would have been much more satisfactory if the medical man hail, instead of trusting to the accounts of other persons, attended the patient himself, and that he ought not to have given the certificate which he did to the registrar, as it was likely to have had the effect of defeating the ends of justice by preventing inquiry where perhaps it was essential to be made." Mr. Pettigrew was subsequently reprimanded by the coroner, and the proceed imp terminated. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. THE METROPOLIS. LAMEPTII.—MR. D'ETNCOURT.—In compliance with the custom of the borough, that each candidate should in torn make a public " conftasion of faith" at the Horns, Kenning ton, Mr. D'Eyncourt addressed the electors there yesterday evening. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by J. H. Palmer, Esq., who, in openingtthe business of the meeting, read lettere from Mr. T. buncombe and Sir De Lacy Evans, both strongly recommending Mr. D'Eyncourt to the con stituancy of Lambeth. Both writers apologised for their non-attendance, Mr. Duncorohe on the score of illness, and Sir De Lacy Evans in consequence of having to meet a conservative candidate (Lord Wandeville), who had suddenly started up in Westminster. Tha chairman, in introducing Mr. D'Eyncourt to the electors, reminded them of his long and faithful services in the cause of reform, of which ho might almost be called the pioneer in consequence of his exertions in the celebrated East Retford case.—Mr. D'Eyn court then came forward and was reeeived with loud and general cheering. He regretted that the power which the constituency wore about to exercise was one which returned to them only once in every seven years. His bad been a long career of public life, more than half of which bad been passed in the service of the borough, and he was still able and willing to serve them should they deem him worthy of their confidence. They had arrived at an important crisis in political affairs. The dislocation of parties which bad resulted from the policy of Sir Robert Peel, made it necessary that the representatives of the people should be exceedingly vigilant and watchful. The word " coalition" had become familiar to their ears within the last few days— a coalition of the state managers it might he, inimical to the liberties of the people. Under such ctrcumstances he wished the electors had ten candidates to choose from ; they had only three; but if they selected him he had still, although advanced in years, energyandvigonr enough left to do battle for the liberties of the English people. His votes were ail before them, and for none did he feel any regret—not even his much vilified vote in favour of the Maynooth .grant. He was there to explain everything, to answer every one ; and on his answers to abide by the decision of the electors. On the education vote he had opposed the government. Had he done wrong? (No, no.) He had voted against any increase in the number of bishops. In minorities of fifteen and ten he had so voted, but if the constituencies had been properly represented the case would have been very different. If they had had the ballot—if they bad had short parlia ments—would the Manchester Bishopric Bill have passed ? (Cries of " No, no.") He laid his opinions can didly before the constituency, but he declined giving any pledges. lie thought they were unconstitutional, and al culated to fetter the fair discretion of a member of parlia ment. Last year he had been asked in that mom to plates himself to the total anti immediate repeal of the 11111 Slaws. He had refused, and consequently had found blseself liberty to vote for the es. duty of Sir R. Peel. If he had been pledged, he most have refused that virtual repeal of the corn laws. He had repeatedly brought in mo tions for the repeal of the Septennial Act, with in creasing majorities, and last session had placed a al miler motion on the paper, but not one petition was presented in its favour, not even from the radical borough of Lambeth. Under these circuits/tutees he had not pressed it, not wishing to give it the appearance of a motion which was retrograding in public opinion. However, if they returned such men at Mr. Buncombe and himself to parliament, a staunch phalanx would be formed, whose duty it would be to sit night after night, and by repeated motions finally to press on a reluctant parliament the repeal of the rate-paling clauses in the Reform Act, the extension of the franc ise, and his own motion for the shortening of the duration of parliaments. in conclusion, Mr. D'Eyncourt disclaimed any coalition with any other candidate ; he thought it looked like dictation, and therefore presented himself to the electors to stand or fall solely by his own merits. (The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud cheering.) An elector : Will you vote for the repeal of the income-tax ? Mr. D'Eyncourt said he had voted against the income-tax. He was prepared to propose now that it should be reduced to twopence in the pound on trades and professions.

M. Hawes, he reminded him, had voted against the abolition, although this was the only civilised country in which it was practised. It had been abolished in the French and American services.—Mr. D'Eyncourt al ways had voted, and always would vote, against so barbarous a practice. He flattered himself that in bringing forward the case of Hutchinson, who was flogged at the Mews in 1832, he had paved the way for the great reformation which had latterly taken place . — Another elector wan anxious to know Mr. D'llyncourt's opinion re lative to the Irish church.—Mr. Dllyncourt : I am one of those who think that the English shank hes no right to he in Ireland.—After one or two more • Mr. D'Eyn court's answers to which gave co a nee- lotion declaring him a fit and woe*, pens& hi wend the borough was put and carried by sedaaseden, sad the meeting adjourned. hituoLvies.—ln consequence of an advertisement, an nouncing a public meeting of the radical party to con sider the inefficient state of the present representation of the county of Middlesex, a reporter from this journal attended at the Crown and Anchor T , Strand, yesterday even ing, at the hour appointed for the meeting. The advertise went convening the meeting was signed by one individual, and was not authorised by the committee for conducting the election of Mr. 13. Osborne, the new candidate for the re presentation of the metropolitan county. That gentleman, together with Sir W. Moicsworth, Bert., Mr. Wakley, and several other of his supporters, was io attendance to address the expected meeting ; but, after waiting until nearly half past seven o'clock, they took their departure, having first resolved to call a meeting of the friends of Mr. Osborne, to be held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on Wednesday (tomorrow) evening, at six o'clock, Sir W. Molesworth con smiting to take the chair. MAILYLSTIONE.—The three liberal candidates still continue in the field, and will all go to the poll, the result of which, as we predicted yesterday, will be that Sir James Hamilton, the tory candidate—who, but for this unfortunate divieion in the ranks of the reformers, would not have had the most re mote chance of success—wilt be elected in conjunction with one of the liberals. The present state of things is, of course, to he attributed to the unwarrantable conduct of Mr. D. W. Harvey, which has excited the greatest disgust in the borough. An attempt has been made to obtain a coalition between Sir B. Hall and Lord Dudley Stuart, but, up to the moment at which we write, without success, and, at present, each candidate relies on his own individual strength. Robt. Owen, the socialist, whose address was read by Mr. Lloyd Joon at a meeting of Mr. te.srjeant Shee's friends on Saner day, does not, we understand, intend going to the poll, inas much as he has not paid hie (mote towards the erection of the hustings. Meetings of the friends of Sir James Hamil ton and Mr. Serjeant Skee were held last night, and resolu tions passed pledging the meeting to support the several candidates. Tnwea Hasnere.—The nomination for this borough is lied for Thursday next, at Stepney-green, at twelve o'clock. Lest night a meeting of the electors of the Hackney district was held at the Manor. House, Hackney, to meet Major- General Fox, and to take step, for securing his re election. Mr. George Oveoden, was called to the chair, who, after a few prefatory remarks, introduced Major- General Fox, who proceeded to address the meeting amidst considerable applause. He thanked the meeting cordially for the kind manner in which he had been received. He was glad to see around him many old friends of six years' standing, and while regretting the atrium of others, he coul d conscientiously say that it was no fault of hi!, for he had never changed the opinions which had formerly received their support. He should not trouble them with a long speech, but would refer 'to his conduct and his votes as the means of his return. He was, as he had always been, a friend of complete religions liberty. lie had not had much need to vote on this subject, for there was now almost an entire religious freedom of opinion—it only remained to free their Jewish brethren from disabilities, and to remove those he was prepared to waist. He had assisted the old enemies as well as the old friends of free-trade in carrying those principles, of which he was always a friend. He was prepared to stand by the piaci plea which he had pat forth in his address, and he would ra ther Ism his election than flinch from those principles. The gentleman who opposed him was no doubt a very excellent sad respectable penult, but he came to oppose him, as it appeared to him, on the came principles which be (Gen. Fox) professed ; and as he did not know in what they differed, his opposition seemed to be needles!. Any remains of mono poly he was ready to do away with. With regard to the great question of education, which, he feared, had lost bits the support of a portion of his friends, he could only say that government education, without religious tests, ought to be supported, and that public money could not be better be stowed than in educating the people. If it was used as a tool fora government it would be a bad thing, but that the good sense of the country would prevent ; and power ful as the church was, she never would be able to get such command over the money of the public as unduly to influence education. He was ready to answer any questions which might be put to him. lie was prepared to go to the poll and fight to the utmost.—Mr. Hare proceeded to ask whether General Fox, as a friend of religious liberty, preferred reducing the Ch urch of England to the level of other denominations, with regard to state patronage, or re fusing that patronage to all denominations alike ? If, in order to resters ecclesiastical peace in Ireland, he preferred the abolition of the protestant establishment, or whether he would share the church property in Ireland between the Roman catholic and protestant clergy, or providing for the Roman catholic clergy out of the revenues of the United Kingdom? If he was opposed to the duration of parliament for seven years, and if ho would pledge himself to support the repeal of the Septennial Act ? General Fox begged to say that he distinctly declined giving any pledges—(great cheering) —and would not say what course he would take with regard to particular measures which were not before the country, however he might think them desirable or advantageous. When those questions came before parliament, if his votes on them did not satisfy the electors, they need not re-elect him. (Cheers.) A number of other questions were put ; among others, if the Health of Towns Bill passed, would he endeavour to reform the court of commissioners of sewers in the borough ? General Fox said he believed the sewerage had been grossly mismanaged, and he would support any measure for reforming the system. In answer tea question, Gen. Fox said he was happy that there was a question which he could unhesitatingly answer. He was prepared to support a better system of taxation than now exists, and by which property would have to hear some of its burdens, and by which the necessaries of life would ba relieved from it.—Mr. Robert Wright proposed the fol lowing resolution: "That thie meeting, fully convinced that Major-Gen. Fox is a firm and consistent (need of civil and religious liberty, hereby pledge themselves to use their best exertions to secure his re-election as one of the repre sentatives in parliament for the Tower Hamlets." It was seconded by Mr. Humphery, and supported by Mr. Charles Buxton and Mr. Green, and earned, after which the meeting separated. Mr. G. Thompson is still in the field, and is sup ported and recommended by a board of deputies of three denominations of dissenters. A subswiption is opened to return him free of exponee. His cry is " Perfect religious equality: . WEATMINSTEtt,—In Lord Mandeville's address, which was issued yesterday morning, there is little from which the electors cut form a definite view of his lordehip's political creed, and nothing iaconaistent with the supposition, put forth in the Express of yesterday, that his politics are midway between Peelite conservatism and unmitigated toryism. The canvass on his behalf proceeded with much activity yesterday, and, as already hinted, Mr. Cochrane's vain attempt will give his lordship a tolerably fair chance. There are some liberals who now regret that Mr. Lushing. ton yes not allowed by his committee, in imitation of the Marylehone candidates, to submit his claims to the test of the ballot in connexion with Mr. Cochrane. The objection which over-ruled the disposition to do this, was that such a course must place Mr. Lushington on a level with his rival. The present state of affairs has led to Increased effort and vigilance on the part of all the committees of the two cos. leseing liberal candidates. Lost evening, Sir D. L. Evans met a body of the electors of St. John's at the Coach and Hones, North.street, and delivered an address explanatory of his political sentiments. ME PROVINCES. AROYLIARIRE.—Mr.RNQI,We ex-lord advocate, again stands for this county. No opposition. ATENHIRE.—LiberaI opposition is threatened to Mr Oswald, but no name has yet transpired.

The candidates, as already announced, are Sr Henry Smyth, Bart., and Mr. Sanderson, in the conservative, and Mr. J. A. Hardcastle in the whig interest. DUDLEY.—Nomination on Wednesday. No opposition. Dcatram.—The writs arrived in the, city on Saturday last, and were proclaimed the same day, and the days of nomination fired. The elections far this county will be held as follow: Durham city, Gateshead, and South Shields on Thursday; Sunderland, Monday, 2nd August; North Dur ham, Tuesday, 3rd; and South Durham, Wednesday, 4th . A rumour has sprang up that an opposition will arise before the day of nomination to the return of Mr. Ferrer, the high church and protectionist candidate. It is now known that but for Lord Harry Vane another liberal would have been in the field some weeks ago. All three candidates will pro- ceed to the poll in North Durham, but the return of Col. Beckwith is rendered doubtful, from the want of support frem the old whig party. For the city the contest will be a severe one, each party professing the greatest confidence of success. It is stated that Mr. Whateley has made up his mind to contest South Shields. _ EDINBUROW-Mr. COWIIO .

These were, general independence, excise re form, ao state grants for religious purposes, and thorough devotion to local interests. There is some talk of a censer- I retire candidate, but nothing has definitively been decided. ELGIN EU/WM.—REWARD or NEPOTIIIM.—TIIO Elgin Courant (conservative) is sanguine of Mr. Bannerman's success, and also maintains a friendly feeling to Sir A. L . Hay, whose services are thus eulogised The number of situations which he has procured for electors, sons of electors, brothers.in-law, nephews, B:c., is really incredible ; and yet, will it be believed, many of those who have parti cipated most largely in the substantial benefit of his legiti mate patronage, have now turned their balks upon him Gratitude, we would ha,e thought, might have kept them in his interest, waiving even all considerations of a public nature . . Otasoow.—Oar correspondent writes :—" Electioneering results are still irs dubio. Mr. Dennistoun and his friends continue their system of personal attack. At a meeting this week, Mr. D. read garbled extracts from a letter written by Mr. Macgregor to Mr. Walter Buchanan, to prove that Mr. Macgregor had insidiously tried to undermine him. Mr. Macgregor has met this attack by publishing the letter entire, together with the whole correspondence of which it formed a part: it consists of : 1. A letter from Mr. Macgregor, dated D.e. 11, 1845. In it Mr. Macgregor mentions Lord John's acceptance of office; the poseibility of a dissolution; his (Mr. Macgregor's) having been applied to by Glasgow eke tort ; and asks for information and advice. 2. Mr. &whims% answer, dated Dec. 15, 1845. It contains an account of the manner in which elections are managed in Glasgow. Two passages are important :—' To one or two of the principal of these [the liberal leaders], I have mentioned your name before I should reply to your letter. They all agree with me that you would bo in every respect a most eligible candidate.' --' I shall send you from time to time any information I may receive on the subject likely to be of interest to you, and yen may rely upon me ma warm supporter in cre you /Mould be induced to become a candidate.' 3rd. A letter fron'. Mr. Macgregor, dated Dec.2B, 184 G. Mr. Macgregor statimin it that • general election may take place before many :weeks elapse after the meeting of parliament, gives an outline of the views he entertains of the meat urgent public questions, and intimates •if you do not think of a better man, I am pre pared to become a candidate for the suffrages at Glasgow.' In his first letter, Mr. Macgregor stated that he bad learned Mr. Oswald did not intend to stand again; in his second, he says that !redeem not know whether the present members again come forward ; that he only airs has services in the event of their being wanted ; that he would not come forward in a factious opposition to any member whom the great majority of the electors of Glasgow would agree upon as the candidate. He remarks At present, both your members are gentlemen of undoubted integrity.' 4th. Mr. Buchanan's answer, dated 7th January. After apologising for having been so long in replying, he expresses as•onishment that Mr. Macgregor should have addressed him on the subject, tells him there is no opening, and, to prove this, sends him a copy of this day's Argus, announcing the determination of both Mr. Oswald and Mr. Dennietoun to stand. sth. A letter from Mr. Macgregor, dated 3rd April, explaining that he had addressed him on the subject in consequence of his own voluntarily proffered services. Gth. Mr. Buchanan's reply, pleading ignorance of the con tents of his first letter. It is but justice to Mr. Macgregor to state that not one word in his letters can be construed into an attempt to undermine Mr. Dennistoun. lie wrote in the belief that Mr. Oswald meant to retire. That Mr. Oswald meant to retire is admitted by Mr. Buchanan in his letter of December, 1815, and denied in his letter of January, 1817, on the strength of a newspaper paragraph, but con firmed by the event. The following passages in Mr. Buchiumn's letters, to be appreciated, must be taken in juxtaposition : Dec. IBIS. ht. , .

" HASTINGS.—A correspondent says: " The liberal candi dates here I greatly fear will be beaten by the cry of " No popery." The bigotry of certain over-zealous professors of religion is most unchristian. IiVDDEIIBFIELD.—The nomination will take place ou Thursday morning, and the poll on Friday. The most active exertions are being made by the friends of both Mr. Stanfield and Mr. Cheetharn, and from the comparative strength of both parties, it would be difficult to say who has the bent chance of election. lieweintion (Nostra).—The high sheriff has fixed Tues day, the 3rd of August, for the nomination, and the day of polling (if any) for the succeeding Friday ; the nomination will take place at the Castle of Winchester. The late mem bers., C. J. Lefevre, Esq., the Speaker of the House (liberal), and Sir W. Heathcote (conservative), are at present unop posed. The latter gentlemen, in his address, says "he can not promise to enter the House of Commons as the follower of any political leader." HAMPSH/RE (Sours). —Thursday, the sth of August, has been named as the day of nomination, and if any poll ing, to commence on the following Monday. The South ampton Guildhall is the place of nomination. There will be no opposition to the return of the late conservative members. Lord Charles Wellesley, in his address, says : " I am aware that, in the course of a late session of parliament, I voted on the important question of the corn-laws in a manner differing from the wishes of some of my constituents ; that vote was, however, the result of anxious deliberation, and I hesitate not to state that I should consider myself unworthy of the honour which I now solicit, had I shrunk from the performance of a duty founded upon conscientious convie tion, through the fear of incurring unpopularity or the loss of any portion of your saleable support" Iloaallese—Mr. Jervis, liberal, and Mr. Fitzgerald, con servative, will go to the poll here, and the struggle will be a hard one. The nomination takes place en Wednesday. is said that Mr. Stoughton will start as a repealer for this county, and Mr. Cronm, jun., on the same interest. Tbo statement us respects the former is unlikely ; bat if true, Mr. J. O'Connell would probably be defeated. Ysioassounova IL. —The friends of each - of the three can . didates—Mr. Lawson, Mr. Lascelles, and Mr. Wesftsead,— are actively engaged It their canvass. Llazaice (Cousin).— The Limn:irk Examiner puts for wards stream IMMOIIf that the Young Ireland leader, Mr. W. S. O'Brien, had determined not again to offer himself for Limerick. Should this announcement turn out true, the total routof the patty would probably follow. Livenroin..—The nomination being &led for Wednesday, the friends.of the respective candidates are now engaged in active canvass.

The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Win. Brown, exmember for South Lancashire; Mr. Thornely, ea-member for Wolverhampton; and several gentlemen of liberal opinions and local influence. It is fully expected that Sir Thomas Birch and Mr. Cardwell will be returned. LEEDS: —The proepects of the several candidates here are beginning to assume a more decided character. As the elec tion turns upon the educatioh question, the committee of Mr. Marshall have passed a resolution recommending their friends to give their votes for Mr. Marshall and Mr. Beckett, the supporters of that question ; and the electors in the in tercet of Mr. Beckett, finding their own candidate luite safe, have resolved to divide their votes with Mr. Marshall, as a townsman and friend of state.aided eduoation and a friend of the eoustitutien in church and state. _ _ isy;;;Jii•ciV.•:Col.ireppel 7 ar7tTrn is considered sato, and one of the late conservative members must make way for the liberal candidate.

The Earl of March and Mr. Prime, protectionists, the old members, are in the field, and all parties admit that any opposition would be futile against the landlord power here.

TAVISTCCIL. — Lord Edward Russell and Mr. J. S. Tre lawny will be re-elected for this borough, it is now thought, without opposition. WALBB.—A correspondent sap: "No serious contest is likely to take place in the principality, except at Merthyr. Sir J. Walsh will still represent Radnorshire, and Sir F. Lewis the boroughs, in the room of Mr. Price, who retires. Some of the old tory party would willingly oppose them, but influence and the needful are both wanting." WINCHESITII.—There will be a severe contest here, of the result of which it is impossible to form any opinion. The nomination will ho on Thursday, and the polling on Friday. WALSALL.—Norainatimi on Wednesday. Three candi. dates are in the field for one Neat. Two of these arc liberals. The tory is Mr. Cake, of the Oxford Circuit.

WOODSTOCIL.—The force of the Duke of Marlborough's nominee (the Marquis of Blandford) canvassing has com menced in this borough. It is understood that Mr. J, J. Faulkner, of Oxford, a well-known temperance orator, will be proposed by the liberal electors. The mayor has fixed Thursday for the election. IRELAND._ DVIILTN, JULY 25. The Limerick and Clare Ernatiner contains an ac count of 0. fearful case of wholesale extermination, which reminds one of an Algerine razzia rather than an set committed in a civilised country and under tho forms of law. The number of the evicted amounts to nearly finer hundred, occe occupying 30 houses in the town of Charleville. Of course, the statement of the local paper is to be taken subject to considerable exceptions, for exaggeration and pathetic colouring are visible in every paragraph. But, stripping the description of its superfluities, it appears that a very large number of cottagers in the village of Charleville, whose terms derived from a mesne proprietor had expired, were evicted on the 13th instant. The reporter, after particu lar cases of excessive misery, comes to the vil lage churchyard, " and here the evicted families, numbering nearly four hundred, took shelter, and for four consecutive nights slept under the canopy of Heaven, huddled together—God tempering the wind to the shorn lamb." The names are all given ; and it appears that more than 100 of these miserable beings were and are now in fever. The proprietor of the property is the Earl of Cork—an absentee, I believe. The Poor-law in Charleville opens auspiciously by the addition of some three or four hundred supplicants for relief within or without. We are aware that informations had been sworn, at the instance of the crown, against the present Mayor of Limerick, for imputed fraud on the finance com mittee, of which he was a member. At a late hour yesterday, the grand jury of the city unanimously ignored the bill against Mr. \Valnatt, and found a true bill against his partner, Mr. Stein. The latter gentleman has traversed to the next assizes. The districts in which provisions had been plun dered during the winter and spring are now begin ning to feel the consequences of retribution. In many counties actions have been brought on the 23 and 24 Geo. 111., c. 20, which enables the proprietor of any flour or milling establishment, bakery or provision store, whose carriers are intercepted and sustain loss or damage, to recover against the residents of any parish where such an outrage is committed, and they . in turn may levy contributions on the parish. The owner of tfie Bruree mills, near Charleville, has just recovered 142/. against the two chief inhabitants of the parish. • For the first time, resident magistrates have claimed compensation for their attendance as si it nesscs, whether at assizes or sessions, from the coun ties where they have been engaged. This demand should not be complied with—certainly not where the stipendiaries have officiated within their own districts. To show the very serious decline in the price of food, the finance committee of Limerick have con tracted for the supply of Indian corn at 10/. per ton, and Indian meal at 111.45. 9d. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—The country papers to-day speak of the condition of the country in terms of hope and cheerfulness. The hsrrest prospects ere ray good, and they have been crowned within the last day or two by • genial rain which fell for several hours unaccompanied by wind, saturating the parched earth, and stimulating the growth, as well a. maturing the produce of the soil. With the excep tion of the "extermination" above referred to, the journals do not contain a single record of crime. ENCUMBERED EKTATES (lllELAND).—Pursuant CO the provisions of an act passed in the tenth year of the rt ign of her Majesty Queen Victoria, intitulcd "An Act to facilitate the Improvement of Landed Property in Ireland," the com missioners of public works in Ireland hereby give notice, that the several peewee named in the schedule hereunto an nexed have made application, by memorial, to the said com missioners far loans under the said set ; and in the said schedule are also set forth the names of the Janis in respect of which such persons have so respectively applied for such loans, together with the amount of the loans so applied for by such persons respectively ; and all parties claiming to be interested in the said lands respectively, or snipe( them, and all other parties whom it may concern, are hereby required, on or before the 9th slay of August next, to transmit to the said commissioners (office of public works, Dublin), their dissent or objection (if any) to said memorials, or any of them, or to any statement therein contained, or to the loan applied for, with their reasons for such dissent or objection, and the nature of their estate or interest in or charge upon said lands, or any of them ; and the said cemminieners hereby call is meeting of all persons claiming to be interested in the raid lands, or any of them, and of all persons whom it may con cern, to be held on the 18th day of August neat, at the hour e of 12 o'clock at noon, et the o ffi ce of public work., custem houee, Dublin, when and where th e said commissioners will o t fo hear and inquire into such objectio ns an d dissents (deny), and all such other matters and things as shell be then end liberty th ereb to roug ioo h po t before t the hem ; memorials sod alli spacidrmlnaoansin,teoreir d ny, of o r claiming to be interested, in any ofl the said lands, are at them, or the maps and specifications referred to thereby re spectively, and now lodged at their office.

The deputation that waited on the Privy Council Education Committee, on behalf of the voluntary dis senters, are to hold a meeting here on Tuesday even ing, when the result of their negotiations with go vernment is to be detailed. Sir Harry Smith is to be invited to a public dinner in Glasgow next month. It is to be regretted that an attempt is making to identify it with the anti radical yeomanry. Reference has already been made to the absorbing character of poor-law duties—here are some illustra tions in detail. During the past year the general and committee meetings amounted to 228. The board consists of 33 members ; of these some attended as many an 210 meetings ; others so few as i : the ave rage attendance being 32. Fever is still monopolising the wards of the infir mary, and intimation has been sent to the rural dis tricts not to send any more patients. The rural dis tricts would therefore do well to provide themselves with hospital accommodation, so as to be prepared against any future epidemic. ACCIDENT ON THE DUNDEE. AND PEETH RAILWAY.— The following, from the Dundee Warder, is a more parti cular account than was given yesterday. On Thursday, the , half-past ten o clock train from Perth to Dundee, with six or seven carriages, left at the usual hour, and had proceeded as far as the under-crossing at Pilmores, when the engine soddenly ran off the line, dragging some of the carriages with it. Two of the thirdelass carriages were almost wholly destroyed. One passenger, Mr. James Cargill, from the neighbourhood of Newcastle, was killed, and other four pas sengers were injured, two of them seriously • bat the medi cal gentlemen report that there is no doubt oitheir recovery. The train was proceeding at its usual speed, and the acci dent is supposed to have occurred from a deflection of the rail upon the under crowing at Pilmores.
