WISTMLATH ELECTION.—The Committee on this Election having obtained a commission to procure some , material evidence in ',eland, continued their proceed ings yesterday morning. The decision appears to be waited fur with much anxiety. The scrutiny at present is proceeding very rapidly—five votes of the Sitting Member were struck off in the course of yesterday morning, two having been tendered twice, and three having been polled by persons representing individuals who, on reterenee to the register, had, long before the Election, been dead. Mr. STUART WORTL WY remarked that a great deal of inirtentioa had been shevro at this Election, and Mach unnecessary trouble might have been saved the Committee who had already been so many days engaged in investigating this Election. - - Tex CORNT•GARDEN CAUSi.—It will be seen by our ' Law Report, that judgment*was yesterday given by the Vicz-Ctrancatt.on completely in favour of the plain tiff, Mr.HARRIs, by his directing a specific performance of the agreement enteted into by Messrs.

Mr. Wtuts, senior, has this year declined the contest in favour of his song Mr. ROWLAND WILES, a younger brother of the Member for Sud bury, who has the powerful interest of the Dissenters, a very numerous body in that parish, to support him; the Rev. Mr. WILKS, father of the present Vestry Clerk, being a favourite preacher at the Tabernacle. Several candidates have started in opposition to this interest, and the usual warfare of squibs and scurrility has already commenced. A day or two since two young men, apprentices to Mr. Butcher, a pawnbroker, of Wandsworth, absconded, with property in cash, notes, and other valuables, to a very large amount. In the cause, Smith e 7. Toler, tried at the Horsham Assizes, a lad from Worthing, who was examined by Mr- ROLLAND, stated himself to have been employed at the time in question flaying dog fish (to which he assigned some local naule) for his dinner. One of the-Counsel stated the fish to be a species of the shark. " Yes, my Lord," said Mr. bot.t.a.zo, bowing to his Learned Friends around the table, o we are ad stated •to be of Mat tribe!" This produced a roar of laughter from the Gentlemen of the Long Robe.—Maidstone Journal. A genteel-dressed young man, about 20, was yester day morning drowned in the Regent's Canal, near Maiden-lane. He slipped in accident:illy, while walking on th• bank, and was scat cely five minutes in the water. The body was taken to the. Workhouse ; but nothing I waa found on his person that coutd lead to any know 6hatl ge of who he was. Roue, MARCH 14.—(Extract of a Letter.) —The Rev. Dr. Norr has lately met with a very serious accident. la seems that the Learned Doetot was indulging his [ owe for antiquarian research, and bad selected the _baths of Paulus /Ernilius for the subject of his con templation, when in passing Over a plank to go from one part to another, which he was assured by the workmen was perfectly safe, the plank gave way, and he was precipitated to the depth of 20 feet, upon some paving stones. Fortunately no bones were broken, but the violence of the concussion was a severe shock to his enfeebled constitution, which has since I been aggravated by a painful act 4ck of gout: but these 'unpleasant symptoms ate gradually subsidmq. and there is a lair prospect of has ultimate recover y. Dr. Norr is a prebendary of Winchester, from which situation he has his MAJRITY'S leave to absent himself on account of ill health, and it is singular enough 'that he dated his indisposition from a somewhat similar accident which occurred to him in the cathedral at Winchester, about ten years ago,when a ladder gave way with him, and he fell more than 20 feet, breaking one arm, and having his hea I and face dreadfully contused: this accident also was the result of an over zealous exertion in that research by which Winchester Cathe dral has muc't benefitted, for the Doctor was at that time the most active conductor of all the improvensestsj and restorations which have beeq elected's that Irene. tsble structure. AMERICAN AND COLONIAL STEAM, NAV'. GATION COMPANY. Wednesday, a ineeting - of the shareholders was hat.' a • the City of London Tavern. Admiral Sir P. MAI4:01.11 took the Chair. The Cibtialiatt informed the .hareholdets that the 'meeting was called to lay before them the steps which had been pursued to permit those who wished to re we from the Company to do so. An Act of Parliatnri.t had been procured for that purpose. All the debt , isi:d liabilities of the Company had been met. The Cons• pany's loss had been very con,ider able ; but he trusted that those who remained in the concerti would be ulti• mately benefitted by it, and he was convinced the Com pany would prove advantageous to the nation. The report was ih. n read, which detailed the pro ceedings of the Directors. The receipts had amo•inted to 27,2001. 101. having been called on each share.

The report was adopted, and after some conversation thanks were voted to the Chairman for the part he had taken in bringing matters to a satisfactory conclusion. The CHA tau AII said his duties had been arduous, and that the Directors had lost more than one half of the money expended. He regret ed that the Company had not yet been, made useful to the community, but had no doubt A would be, if prosecuted. The meeting then CORONERS' INQUESTS. An Inquest was held yesterday, at the Hospital for the Grenadier Guards, in Rochester-row, Milbank, on the body of Joseph Clark, a private of the Sd BattShots of Grenadier Guards. The case excited considerable interest, in consequence of a report . which had gone abroad, that the deceased's death was occasioned by vitas introduced into the system by a foul lancet used in bkeding him. Three privates who were examined, proved that the deceased had said to them that he thought he had been bled with a foul lancet. as his arm had much swollen since the bleeding. Two orderly Men at the Hospital proved that the deceased was just admitted there about three weeks ago. He was itign bled, and soon afterwardvhe was shscharged as beim well. He returned istrio day; afterwards, his arm Nittita.fhen a little festered; it was not much swollen; leeches and poultices were applied, and the swelling eitmetdown and never returned. They farther slated; that it ie an invariable practice after issing a lancet to dip it water, and wipe it with a napkin quite clean. The deceased, on his second admission, was bled in the left arms but no swelling ensued. Mr. Harrison, one of the Surgeons of the Hospital, proved that the orifice of the puncture made by the lancet was not festered, whiCh it would have been if infectious matter had been introduced, After his arm got well, he was attacked by typhus fever, and of which he died on the 4th inst. the . Jury, therefore, returned a verdict of " Died of pbufever2' • •• Yesterday evening an Inquest was held is Guy's Hos pital, on the body of Elizabeth Pallitt, who died in the Hospital the same morning. A rumour was spteadthat her death was occasioned by the ill-treatment oft' bee husband, • whose brutal conduct. was described bluer relations as very bad ; but a surgeon, however, stead s that she was brought to the Hospital with a maims* tumour on the right breast, whict was to have been operated on, but the next day she was seized with an in flammation of the abdomen, which caused her death.— The Jury consulted some time, and then intimated a wish to the Coroner to retire. In about half ass hour the Jury returned with the following verdict: -j' That the deceased died from inflammation of the abdomen, Ibut from what cause there was no evidence to prOve." r —Tht Coroner said, that was no verdict.—Juror. " We cannot reconcile it to our consciences to return any other yerdict."—Another Juror. " The case is very mysterious; there is no doubt but that the unfortunate woman has been brutally used ; we can guess the cause, although we have not sufficient evidence." After along conversation, the above verdict was recorded. An Inquest was held yesterday in the• Workhouse of St. Paul, Covent-garden, before T. Satattso, Esq. on the body of James Wilson, who was supposed to have died from injuries received on the night of the 2d inst. at the sign of the Brown Rear, in Bow street, at which house he was waiter. On the evidence of Dr. Brooks, surgeon, of Bedford. street, Covent-garden, however, the Jury returned a verdict—That the deceased died from the rupture of a blqod-vessel in the stomach, brought In by excessive drinking. _ _ Extern! lu.—Monday, Daniel Mahony underwent the sentence of the law at the New Drop County gaol in this City, for the murder of Edward Fitzgerald. He made no declaration of guilt or ;two:race. He was attended on the scaffold by the Rev. Mr. O'Couvort, and after imploring the mercy of Gov, and the prayers of the few that were around him, he was launched into eternity about half-past twelve o'clock, and died almost without a struggle.—Cork Advertiser. PitaLlC WHlPPlS42.—Yesterday John Stew Was publicly whipped, for a distance of 100 yards, in Billingsgate market, pursuant to his sentence at the late Old Bailey Sessions, for stealing five soles out of the market. The frequency of thefts of this description of late tendered this public example necessary, as a check to the number of young rogues who infest the market. After his punishment. he was conveyed back to Newgate, to suffer the remainder of his sentence of imprisonment for a week. Two boys, on their return from school, strayed the other day into the kitchen of a country inn, where a showman had also put up, with a little female dwarf, whom he was showing about the country. On enter. ing the kitchen, the boys found no one there; but in a corner a box was standing, in which, from an in scription on the lid, they had every reason to believe the little fairy lay coacealed.
