i .7:LECTIO.V FOR TILE BOROUGH OF CAMBRIDGE. On Frit'ay the election of a Member for this Borough took place, when the NfaNuis Graham, son of the Duke of Montrose, was declared duly elected. :Jr. Alderman PURCRAS, in rising to propose the Marquis Graham, said he should not have thought it necessary to have droned one single word by way of apology, for the exercise on the present 0CC4.1311, of that right, which belonged to him as a member of the Corporation, did he not feel conscious that there were many present more able than himself to discharge the pleasing duty. T:tey were now met to fill up that vacancy in their representation, which had been occasioned by the melancholy, the lamented and rrciancholv.death of their late respected Member, who, he was bound tat say, had discharged his duties m an upright manner ; and since they were now deprived of his saleable services, it was their duty to elect one able to supply hie place. Such a one he was about to propose to them—a young nobleman as much distinguished by talent as by birth—s young nobleman who had been educated in this University; and who, disdaining those follies and frivolities too often pursued by the great, had devoted his time to the study of thins high and important duties attendant on that elevated sphere, in which, in all probability, lie would be called to move. lie per fectly coincided with the political views of the Noble Marquis ; and he believed he (Mr. Pinches) might say, without fear of contra diction, that such were his talents, that had he been born in a more humble sphere, he would have aspired to and attained the most distinguished honours this University could bestow. (Laughter and applause). He felt confident, that if elected, he would not disgrace them ; he therefore felt great pleasure in proposing the Most Noble the Marquis Graham as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. (Hisses and applause.) Mr. Alderman ANIOTT said, that fully concurrirg in every thing that had fallen from the Honourable Gentleman who had preceded him, he begged leave to second the nomination of the Marquis of Graham. (Applause and disapprobation.) The Marquis (tertian then presented himself, amid the most deafening noise, in which marks of disapprobation decidedly pre vailed. At length silence being obtained, he observed. that the kind and flattering manner in which his lion. Friend had intro duced his name to their notice, rendered it unnecessary for him to say utuelr on the present occasion; still it rendered that little the more painful and difficult. He hpd the honour of being personally acquainted, he believed, with alithin every member of the Corpo. ration • and in the visits he had had the honour to m a ke to th em , be h ad his views on public matters known, and he was happy to find they almost entirely agreed with him in politics; he there fore would not detain them long on that subject. He had long been connected with Cambridge, and the retrospect was most fiat,-.iring. He referred to that period of his youth, when, perhaps, the spirit. were men eau tenant, aid susceptible of the most lively and lasting impressions. He had before said that lie perfectly agreed with them in politic', and should only now revert to that subject, in order to congratulate them on the happy and prosperous state of the coun try, which had arrived to an unprecedented greatness. If they looked around them, they beheld agriculture flourishing, commerce incressing, anti debt and taxes diminishing; for not only had the taxes and debt been diminished during the last year by the wise measures which Ministers had pursued, but, he was happy to say, that, by the King's Speech delivered last night at the op en i ng o f Parliament, his Majesty had promised to make still further reduc tions. (Applause) Was it right, therefore, to withhold his sup. port and confidence from those Ministers who had brought about such happy measures? (Hisses and applause.) He trusted they would give bhn credit for feeling the most sincere wish to promote the local interests of the town of Cambridge; and concluded by observing, that if they did him the honour of electing him, he would so endeavour to discharge his duties as their Representative, as he hoped would entitle hem to their support on a future occa sion._ _ There being no other Candidate, after waiting an hour a show of hands was taken, and the Marquis was declared duly elected. The ceremony of chairing was dispensed with ; but the Marquis entertained his friends and supporters with an elegant dinner at the Black Bull Inn. LENT ASSIZES, 1826, OXFORD CIRCUIT. Before the Hon.

PORTSMOUTH, FLa. 4.—As the sloop Mary, Thomas Itseock, bound from London to Pool, was coming into tWs port, she struck the ground near the Isle of IVight, ard was so much damaged, that she with difficulty got into the harbour, where she was only prevented from sink ing by being his), d to two other vessels, while they got out the cargo, wh;ch is very much damaged. A distressing accident occurred on Saturday se'nnight in the parish of Grade, Cornwall. Several boys having procured an old musket barrel, nearly filled it with gun powder, and rammed it down with pieces of iren ; they then applied a match to tha touch-hole, when the barrel burst with a tremendous explosion. A boy, Car bis, who applied thematch, had his right hand dreadfully injured, and may be obliged to undergo amputation. Another little fellow, named Oliver Carter, was struck on the breast bone by a piece of the barrel, had his chest laid open, and is nut expected to recover. A destructive fire broke out on the night of Saturday last, in the extensive paper mill of Mr. Evans, of South Moreton, near Wallingford, which baffiLd all exertions to subdue it, and in a short time completely consumed the premises, with the machinery and a large stock of paper. We understand tire building and stock have been lately insured to a considerable amount. The fire commenced in the drying room, the sparks from the stove communicating with the paper. MEL•NCHOLT SUICID7..—On Monday, the 91st ult., an inquest was held at Peterborough, before Mr. Atkinson, in the absence of Mr. Gates, on the body of Sarah Peach. It appeared that the young woman asked permission of a neighbour to sleep at their house, being too late to be ad mitted into her own lodging. Her request was complied with, but there not being a spare bed, she was accommo dated with bedding on the flour of the room the family lived in. In the morning, when some of the family came down stairs, the young woman was perceived to be quite dead, and her`face much discoloured and swelled. from some expressions she made use of the day before, that she should not be alive the next day, &c., suspicions were entertained that she had taken poison, and on opening the. stomach it was found to contain a large quantity of opium. The jury, after an investigation of three hours, gave in a verdict did° de se, and the remains of the unfortunate girl were privately interred in the burial ground at eleven o'clock on Tuesday night. DEPTItt;CTIVE Piag.—Between the hours of nine and ten on Saturday night a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr. Bell, looking-glass and picture.frsme maker, King-street, Goa well-street-road. The neighbours thinking that sonic of the MD were at work, took no notice of the circumstance, when in a few I,..itwoi it burst forth, and enveloped the entire building. A number of engines soon arrived, and a plentiful supply of water from the New River main was obtained , which , although aided by the exertions of the neighbours and firemen, was of little use, owing to the building being old, and the quantity of combustible materials within it, fir the devouring element caught the adjoining house, belonging to a watch-case maker. At this time consider able alarm was entertained far the safety . of the row of houses westward, when soddenly the tiro altered its course, and caught the extensive depot , of !Mr. Waybum, furniture broker, the 'ratter part of whose stock was consumed.

VISCOUNT NEWCOMEN. The late Viscount Newcomen, whose death, and the fail ure of whose bank, one of the oldest in Dublin, were no ticed in our Paper of last Sunday, (lying without male issue, the title has become extinct. He was the first and last Peer of his family. His mother, Charlotte Viscountess Newcomen, on whose death, in 1817, he succeeded to the title, was raised to the Peerage in 1800. The life of that amiable Lady was made un happy by a circumstance growing out of a barbarous prac tice of the times, of which, we regret to say, much still remains. Her family, long settled in the county of Long ford, was one of the most ancient, honourable, and respect able in Ireland. The hospitality and goodness of her im mediate ancestors were appealed to as a proud example of what a kind and beneficent landlord ought to be. By the death of her father, Charles, of whom she w as th e on l y child, the est a te, whi c h was a large one, became vested in her. There was an old Baronetage in the family, but it was extinct before her time. Her father died when Miss Newcomen was quite a girl, leaving Mr. Webster, an old gentleman, an inbabitant of the town of Longford, her guardian, within three n ilea of which, one of her family seats, Carrickglass, is situate. It happened that there was an humble rustic party, principally of her own tenantry, which Miss Newcomer( condescended to grace, and a dance being the principal amusement of the night, she deigned to partake of it, and had For her partner a Mr. Johnstone, a go.id-looking young man, the son of an opulent farmer. In some short time after this event, in the open day, Mr. Johnstone presented himself on horseback, with a pillion behind him, in the public street, on market-day, when filled with people, and as Miss Newcomen was cross ing the street from the house of her guardian, a friend of Johnstone, then stationed near hint, seized her round the waist, and attempted to place her on the pillion be hind him. The young lady screamed and fainted away; the horse was a spirited one, and became restless, which assisted her against the lawless effort. Mr. Webster, the guardian, who was an eye-witness of the scene, ran out to rescue her, and as lie approached, Mr. John stone's friend, who was armed with a sword, made a thrust at him, and the old gentleman fell to the ground. Mr. Webster, jun. the son, was also on the spot; he (seized a blunderbuss, and conceiving that his father was killed, lodged the contents in the body of Mr. Johnstone 's friend, who expired on the spot. The old man, however, escaped unhurt. Fortunately, he had a coat studded with concave brass buttons, the fashion of the day, each as large as a crown-piece, and full as strong, one of which received in its centre the otherwise fatal thrust of the unfortunate friend of Mr. Johnstone. Of the fate of the principal, Mr. Johnstone, the writer of this article cannot speak with certainty ; he believes he suffered death for the offence. The detestable crime of abduction, unfortunately still pre valent in Ireland, was at that time so common as to be considered a venial offence by the lower orders. From the rape of the Sahines down to the present day, it has existed in sonic degree, but a crime more revolting to human nature we do not think ever disgraced the most barbarous age of any country. Considering the frequency of the offence, it is not surprising if the fate of this audacious and aspiring young man should have excited much sympathy at the time. His friends have attempted to say Miss New comen betrayed a partiality, but that is not sustained by a single fact. Ile was the victim of his own vanity and presumption, On the lady herself it had an injurious effect; she never recovered, the shock. The melancholy catastrophe permanently depressed her spirits. In some time after she married Sir W. Gleedowe, then a banker in Dublin, who, with her estates, assumed her name of New comen, since ennobled ; but which title and estates, by the late disastrous events, the death of her only son, and the failure of his bank, are now no more in the family.— Weekly . Paper. PUBLIC MARRIAGE AND DISTURBANCE IN ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, PLYMOUTH. On Tuesday lost was married, at St. Andrew's church, Major IV. II.)1loway, of the Royal Engineers, son of Major-General Sir Charles Holloway, of Stoke Cottage, to Amelia, youngest daughter of the late Captain Elphinstone, of B 't he friends of the parties assembled at Bellair and Stoke, and after breakfast the procession, of fourteen catriages, united at Devonport. An elegant chariot and four, containing the bride and two of her bridemaids, took the lead, followed by Sir Charles Holloway's coach and four, in which was the bridegroom. The footmen, post boys, and horses, were decorated with white favours ; fine carpeting was spread from the carriage steps to the com munion table, over which the party walked. The bride was richly attired in a full dress of white satin and plumes. After the ceremony the processioa again drove off through Stoneltouse and bevenport, and the happy pair followed in their chariot and four. In the evening, after dinner, they set off for Exeter. The interest excited on this occasion was of the most ex traordinary description. As early as eight o'clock in the morning the church was occupied by a multitude, of which a great part was composed of females ; but we have to re gret that the sacrednetz of the place was little regarded. At ten, lying the hour of divine service, which is pert*, rmed in this church twice every day in the week throughout the year, the same was rendered impracticable by the turbu fence of the populace. Cries of " Murder ! order ! help ! help !" whistling, and even swearing ! were heard in a house devoted to the worship of God, and the unruly mob was not restrained by any respect for the minister, or for the holy word, which was attempted to be read. Indeed, it was a scene of the most harrowing nature to those who reverence the sanctuaries of our religion. There could not be less than three thousand persons present: the pulpit, reading-desk, and even the edges of the pannels of the seats, were tenanted; persons were actually mounted on each other's shoulders, and the streets and houses outside were crowded with the multitude of spectators. At half past eleven the procession reached the church. The tu mult was now increased, the press for a view was intense, and the crowd, notwithstanding the greatest exertions to prevent it, took forcible possession of the inner rails of the communion table, which are much injured, and rudely violated, with their clamour and contention, that most sa cred portion of the church. In the midst of all this tu mult, the marriage ceremony was performed, and the mul titude shortly after disperser! .—Sherburne Journal.

She led him to a chair by the expiring embers of the fire, but in vain she addressed him, so profound was his sleep that he heard her not, and it was not until a good deal of violence bad been resorted to, that he was aroused to a sense of consciousness. It is unnecessary to add, that the poor fellow was much agi tated, but he could recollect nothing, except having been under the influence of a dreadful dream. He is now con fined to his bed with the hurts he sustained, but it is hoped he will do well. He has frequently been known to walk in his sleep.

His Majesty's ship Aurora, Capt. Henry Prescott, C.B. arrived this day from Rio de Janeiro, which place she left on the 18th Dec. last. She has brought to England an im mense freight in specie, it is said amounting to nearly half a million sterling. She left at Rio the Spartiate, Blonde, and Eclair. The Tweed had been ordered 'to return to England, and was to sail in about three weeks after the Aurora. The Briton was gone round Cape Horn. Lieut. Kelly, first of the Tweed, had removed into the Aurora, in the room of Lieutenant Dawson, invalided. Lieutenant Chalmers, of the Aurora, had also invalided, and Mr. James Lithlel appointed in his vacancy, Mr. Gibson, boatswain of the Aurora, is dead, and Mr. J. An derson appointed in his room. The Fly is expected home soon. Courts-martial have been held on some of the officers of the Tweed. on charges preferred against them by Captain Hunn, of that ship. The Master, Mr. George Hanna ford, was reprimanded and admonished on various charges. The third Lieut cant, Mr. Blake, acquitted, and corm home in the Aurora. The trial of the first Lieutenant, Kelly, occupied nearly four days; he was reprimanded on a charge originally preferred against him by the Master, but brought forward under peculiar circumatancet by application of Captain florin. We understand that the charge was for having caused two men to be started in Captain Hunn's absence from the ship, which was established, though the punishment was proved to have been remarkably light. Although the Court deemed it right to pass censure on Lieutenant Kelly, it is hut justice to that officer to men tion the following circumstance, as it conveys a most satis factory explanation of the nature of the charges, and of the circumstances under which they were brought for- ward. Capt. Prescott, who was President of the Court martial, offered Lieut. Kelly, in the most handsome manner, the vacancy which then existed in the Aurora, and by appli cation to the Commander-in-Chief (Sir G. Eyre) obtained his appointment to that ship, and he has arrived in her ac cordingly.—The Tweed may be daily expected, as she was to sail for England a few days after the Aurora. The Au rora left in Rio de Janeiro the Spartiate, Blanche, Blonde, Tweed, Jaseur, and Eclair. The Starling cutter, Lieut. Richard Stuart, and Quail. tender to the Albion, sailed on a cruize to the westward this day ; and the &solution tender, newly fitted out at Plymouth, to be attached to the Ganges, arrived from that port. The Phaeton has been ordered to return to Spithead, u soon as she can be provided with her iron mast and bow sprit, for the purpose of taking the command of the expe rimental squadron. EXPERIMEN7'.4I, SQUADRON. In our last paper we noticed the return of the squadron under the command of Capt. Sir John Phillimore, of the Thetis, and that the Orestes was this time entitled to the credit of being the best ship, as respects going to windward and fast sailing ; subsequent accounts which we have re ceived confirm this statement ; but while it allows that the sloop is at present the hest of the three, it is also granted that they are all very fine vessels of their class. The Cham pion, in several instances, is said to have held way equally with the Orestes, so that it was difficult to decide at first which was superior ; and in smooth water, with light winds, the Pylades runs away from both the others. The Champion and Orestes have come into harbour to prepare for another trial; and as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with that commendable discretion and judgment which mark their official regulations generally, and which base been more than ordinarily displayed in respect to these vessels, have placed it in the power of those gentlemen who had the building of each vessel, to make such alteration in them as they may think will conduce to their further im provement, it may with reason be expected, that the re sult of their next cruise will place the disputed question of their superiority beyond the reach of cavilling. We understand it to be the intention of the constructor of the Champion, to give his vessel tauter masts and squarer yards (the main-mast is to be lengthened six feet, the foremast three feet, and topmasts in like proportion) so as to place her on an equality, in those respects, with the Orestes. What will be the effect of such alteration in her sailing qua- Hiles we will not presume to decide; but it is certainly not unreasonable to suppose that if the vessel can safely carry her masts ranter than at present, the greater quantity of canvas she will thereby be enabled to spread, must make her go faster through the water, especially as she has proved herself so very stiff under her present sails. In their next cruise, the three sloops will be accompanied by the Rose, Capt. the Hon. Charles Abbot (which sloop was built by Professor Inman) and the Pandora, Capt. Gordon. It will be recollected that the Champion and Pandora hare already had a short trial together in going to windward, in which we believe both claimed the prize. At that time the Pan dora bad but just returned from the Mediterranean, and was rigged as a brig ; she has now been converted into a ship sloop, and on this account we look forward with ad ditional interest to the next trial, in the hope of ascertain ing the advantages likely to be derived from the conversion into ships of that beautiful class of vessels in our navy, 18- gun brigs.—Honipshire Paper. BRECON CYMREIGYDDION. On the 10th instant a meeting of the Brecon Cym reigyddion was held, when, after having been much grati fied by several excellent compositions by the bard Glanme hascyn, and by the delightful strains of Mr. Jones, harper to the Breconshire Minstrelsy Society. who played several national airs on the triple harp with great execution, the Rev. 'l'. Price addressed the Meeting in the ancient British language, upon the subject of their approaching Anniversary on the Ist of March. Having dwelt for some time upon the extraordinary manner in which the Welsh nation had been preserved, together with their ancient language, and in their ancient territory, while the rest of Europe had undergone such :nighty revolu tions, and hail so frequently changed its inhabitants and its languages, be observed, that as it was not to be ima gined that the acts of Providence are without design, the mind would naturally be led to inquire what the design could be (if as yet at all developed) in this singular pre servation of their ancient nation and speech ; and if he could, without impiety or presumption, dare to ask and to reply to such a question, he would say that to him in one instance at least, the designs of Providence were visible in this preservation of their race and language. It was among them that the great Bible Society had its origin. It was the scarcity of the Scriptures in the Welsh language, and the unceasing cal of the people for a supply, that first suggested the ides of a Bible Society ; they were Welsh men who first planned hand laboured in its formation, and it was an edition of the Welsh Bible that then issued from its press; and now it has extended itself to the most dis tant parts of the earth, and has contributed to the printing of the Scriptures in one hundred and forty languages. Thus a handful of corn sown on the mountains of IVales, has grown up, and waver like the forests of Libanus; and thus, that language, which, from its confined and isolated state, was by many considered a detriment and even a curse, has now imparted a new stimulus to its possessors, and proved a blessing to the world.. Istraorzn SAFETY LAMP.—We saw the other day, a' Halifax, a safety lamp, called " Russell's Patent Safety Lamp," which is of a very superior construction to those used in this immediate neighbourhood. It contains a pow erful convex lens, called a reflector, which is affixed to the gauze cover, and which increases the light of the lamp, as we are assured by experienced gentlemen, tenfold; thus' rendering it not only unnecessary, but undesirable, ever to open the lamp for an increase of light. The light is in fact diminished when the cover is taken off, as the reflector is taken off at the same time. This improved lamp also eon tains a very simple contrivance for snuffing and trimming the lamp without removing the corer : a small piece of wire is introduced through the bottom of the lamp, and the top of this wire, being bent, suffices, when turned round, both to remove the snuff, and to raise the wick. Further, the lamp can be supplied with oil without taking off the corer. Russell's Patent Lamp wants only one thing to make it perfect : a lock should he fixed to it, so that tha colliers could not open the lamp to light their pipes, or for any other frivolous purpose. We hope these improved lamps will be universally adopted.—Leeds Mercury. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.

[From the Cork Southern Reporter of Tuesday.l Yesterday a woman of the name of Pet Coleman, wtro had for a considerable time lodged with persons of the name of Murphy, in Oil Post Office-lane, died in her miserable apartments at that place. She always had the appearance of great wretchedness, and lived in a manner correspondingly destitute. After her death, the people of the house, on looking about her apartment, found a small box, and were struck with amazement on opening it, to find it filled with bank-notes. They creditably tcok it to the Mayor, when it was discovered that the whole treasure consisted of forgeries, purportir ° , to be notes of the Bank of Ireland, and of the hanks of Pike, Leslie:, and De-la-four. This morning Mr. Sheriff Colburne, and Messrs. Hew. son and Rogers, High Constables, proceeded to the house where the body of the woman lay, and on searching fur ther, they found another box, with some additional notes, two plates, and a machine for producing impressions from them, which of course they took possession of. The people of the house knew nothing of the deceased, they say, and there is evety reason to believe they speak the truth She was given to drink, and occasionally in the habit of staying out all night. Neither of the High Con stables, or any of those persons who are supposed to be as. , quainted with the notorious characters of the town, knew anything of her; but it is conjectured she was an agent, for the sale of those spurious notes, to one of the numerous gangs of forgers who still infest the country, notwithstand ing the creditable exertions, and particularly by the peach officers of this city, to detect and bring them to punishment. The following is a classification of the forgeries found its the way we have described : Pike's Notes - - £3 0 0 Notes 1506 0 0 Do do. - - - 10 0 0 . 500 0 0 Lesliesdo. . - I 5 0 . - 126 5 0 Do do. - - - 114 1 . 17 1 3 Bank or Ireland - 5 0 0 - 145 0 0 Other Notes £1,474 n 3 PRESERVATION OF SALMON.—As a convincing proof that the Magirtrates acting in the Carnarvon district are determined to protect and perserve the salmon, during the spawning season, Thomas Griffith, of the parish of Llanrug, shoemaker, was, on the 21th day of January last. convicted before that active Magistrate, Thomas - Parry Jones Parry, Esq. in the full penalty of 10/., for pursuing and endeavouring to spear salmon in the river B.iont, in the said parish of Llanrug; on a commitment being made out for four months, the penalty was paid to he distribv according to the late Act. Previous to the year 1799, is:d tnon were taken within the port of Carnarvon in sub numbers, early in the month of May, as to be sold as low as 3d. per lb. In consequence of the destruction of spawning salmon and fry—not one salmon for fifty has been taken within the last ten years that were taken for ' tnerly, which has been a serious loss to the neighbourhood, ' and evidently shows the absolute necessity of convicting persons guilty under the late Act. The following fanatical advertisement appeared in . the Leeds Mercury at the period of its date:— " To the world at large.—Repent. that ye may be saved, sod live and dwell on the earth for ever. in peace with God; for 1 fore. tel the full length of every man and woman's life that lived) upon I the earth, unless they live for ever and never die: for on Whits).* Monday, in the year 1806, it will rain down tire and brimstuna until all be consumed that know not God ; but all them that Ityst in his fear, and strive to do his sill, shall live on the earth tow ever. Think not much at me for telling this; for u Noah was the end of the old world, and the beginning of this, so do I declare the ending of this world, and the beginning of that which shall follow, and of that there shall be no end. • KirkstaU Forge, near Leeds, " Utctlet Ray.
