The election for Middlesex terminated yesterday in the defeat of Mr. HUNIE in the rejection by one of the first constituencies of the Kingdom of one of the most honest Radical Reformers—of one of the most zealous champions of popular rights—of one of the most con sistent and efficient assertoN of the true principicr of civil and religious liberty—of one of the most watchful guardians of the public purse—and of one of the most useful and industrious Members that for the last twenty years occupied a seat in the House of Com mons T. This is a sad blow to the good cause—an un expected repulse to the progress of triumphant Reform. We seek not to disguise the fact—we wish not to con ceal the mortification which the criminal apathy of the Middlesex Reformers has caused us. We repeat, the defeat of JOSEPH HUME, in Middlesex, is a sad blow to the cause of Radical Reform—a blow which will reflect deep and indelible disgrace on the Middlesex Electors. There are few public men now living who have so many and so strong claims on the respect—the confidence—the gratitude of the people of Great Britain and Ireland as JOSEPH Hum c. For upwards of twenty years has he served the public in the capacity of a Legislator with a zeal —a fidelity—a disinterestedness—and an efficiency which have rarely ever been equalled, and, taken all in all, have never been surpassed. From the first. day he took his seat in the House of Commons he adopted a course of public conduct from which he has never swerved. Every abuse found in him an invete rate opponent—every extravagance an implacable enemy. He fought for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts as if he were the only representative of the Dissenters in the House of Commons—for the Abolition of the Penal Statutes against the Catholics as if he were himself a victim of the oppression which he denounced--for the Reform Bill as if its provisions were to be regulated by himself—and for every other salutary measure as if its benefits were to extend to the people collaterally through him, instead of incidentally to him, as one of the people JOSEPE HUME was not the man to play a game of " fast and loose" with his constituents, and his conscience. He never thought of looking to the fruits of office one year, as a compensation for his toils the year preceding. He did his duty, and trusted for his reward to his countrymen's just appreciation of the purity of his motives, and the importance of his services. The Tories themselves admit that his in cessant labours and sleepless vigilance effected the cutting down of more sinecuresthe abolition of more useless places and extravagant pensions—the reduc tion of more taxes—and the establishment of a more rigid system of financial economy and orderliness of detail in the administration of the national revenue, than half the other Liberal Members of the House of Commons put together. And yet he effected all this without deserting his principles—without the sacrifice of a jot of his straightforward Radical consistency. JOSEPH HUME was the first to break up the old system of legislating in the dark—the first to assert the right of the people to be made acquainted with the ap propriation of every sixpence taken out of their pockets in the shape of taxes. He it was that put an end to the Borough-mongering practice of voting the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER'S Budget by wholesale— a practice in the hey-day of which it was a part of the duty of the Clerks preparing the accounts, to render them unintelligible to the House of Commons. By his indefatigable zeal and industry he effected a complete Reform in the Financial Department ; checked most effectually the extravagance of Ministets ; and enabled every man, who chose to trouble his head about the matter, to judge correctly of the weight and the appli- cation of the burthena borne by the people. More- over, acting in the true spirit of Constitu tional representation, Mr. HUME confined not his t ritilihßeptfiTy labours to questions in a greater or, *a/ digree affecting his own constituents. Th 4 in}nrol% and the oppressed in the remotest corneas . British dominions found in him a zet4tiii and , pncompromising a d voca t e . N o matter wherean,aby'se existed—no matter by whom an act of ~ a`~ tyranny was perpetrated—Jos EPH Hum E never shrunk from the Parliamentary exposure of the one and the other—never ceased to expose them, till the evils he complained of were redressed. But shall we despair of our country—of the glorious triumph of Reform principles—because one of the most honest of the late Representatives of the people has, through the shameful mismanagement of his friends, and the apathy of a section of the liberal electors, failed to be returned for Middlesex ? GOD forbid ! We are as sanguine respecting the triumph of the liberal cause as ever we were. It is the cause of truth, of progressive civilization, and must prevail. In the meantime it is but just that we should denounce every act by which the triumph of Reform is retarded, whether committed by a hollow friend or an open enemy. The Reformers of Middlesex are greatly to blame—they have suffered an indelible stain to be cast on their political character; and yet we do not hold their conduct in half the abhorrence we do the mismanagement, the apathy, the blundering blind ness, and ignorant presumption of Mr. HUNIE'S Com mittee. A pack of more lumbering unbusiness-like thick-skulls than the majority of that Committee could hardly be selected from among the same class of persons in England. The Chairman, Mr. WARBUR. , TON, is a gentleman of another stamp ; but unluckily he could not give his constant attendance—otherwise, despite of every opposition, Mr. HusrE would have been returned. We dare not trust ourselves to give utterance to all we feel upon this part of this very mor tifying subject. It is shameful—it is maddening to reflect that, had HusrE's Committee done their duty ; had the Members, instead .-of talking, and brawling, and boasting of their individual influence, only ad dressed themselves like sober-minded Reformers to the proper business of the election, the contest would have terminated in the triumph of the Radical candidate. The smallness of WOOD'S majority at the close of the poll quite establishes this fact. HUME'S defeat in Middlesex will not exclude him for an hour from the House of Commons, if he choose to offer himself for any vacant constituency in the three kingdoms. His public services have been too numerous and important to admit of their just appre• ciation being confined to the electors of one district ; so that wherever he present himself, he will find his name as familiar in the mouths of the people, as is the contour of his countenance to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. His influence in the House, resting, as it does, on his integrity and usefulness as a legislator and an economist, will suffer no diminution— will undergo no change—whether he represent the argest or the smallest constituency in the kingdom. Having put on the Tory livery—which, by the bye, fits him to a nicety—Sir FRANCIS BURDETT thinks it incumbent on him to adopt all the hacknied, hypo critical phraseology of the party ; and accorlingly in his speech from the hustings the other day, he runL , the changes upon " our glorious Constitution"— " our unriyalled institutions," &c., with a tact and glib readiness that convinces us he must have been graduating in a Tory school long before he formally proclaimed himself a pupil. His apos tacy is not of yesterday's growth, but dates from the period when he found O'CONNELL engross ing a larger share of public attention than himself. He was never a Radical Reformer from conviction, but from impulse. Gratified self-conceit was the secret of all his liberality, as disappointed self-conceit now is of all his intolerance. Could he have become as no torious by adhering to the good cause, as he has be come by turning traitor to it, he would never have dreamed of ratting ; but vanity has been the rock on which he has split—the altar on N‘ bleb he has un grixd6ugly 046redup reputation—principle—candour— consistency—in short, everything that man holds most dear. It must have been a trying moment to the Hon. Baronet when Sir JOHN flonHousE, the best friend of his best years, appeared foremost among his oppo nents on the hustings. One, remember, was the >•pupil of the other. Together, for many years, they had fought the sacred fight of liberty ; together they had suffered ; together they had triumphed ;—yet the pupil was now compelled to repudiate his master ; and to confess that he had been as much deceived in him, as was the rest of the community, who were wont to hold it as the main article of their creed, that the sun would sooner change its course, than Sir FRANCIS BURDETT quit the broad highway of freedom for the crooked bye-paths of Toryism. Such being the man's apostacy, are we bound to hold terms with him ? Are we bound to speak of him with compassionate regret, who speaks of us with un mitigated and immitigable detestation ? Not so. The measure he metes out to others, shall be meted out to him in return. If he holds no terms with the people, neither will they hold terms with him. He is an apostate of the deepest die, with nothing but the veriest dotage to recommend him. Let him plead guilty to this, and we are satisfied. But then comes the question—is a drivelling dotard the fittest man to represent North Wiits ? Choose him, and what should prevent East Cumberland from choosing Sir JAMES GRAM AM ? Men of Wilts, do not—as you possess self-respect and common honesty—permit yourselves to be duped or bullied by Tory finesse, or Tory menace. Look your position boldly in the face. Think what the country expects from you—think what you owe to yourselves, and to those who shall come after you. If Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is con fessedly incompetent—we quote his own words—to re present Westminster, is he competent to represent you ?. Are you such a mere fraternity of thick-headed clod hoppers, that you must, perforce, put up with the Re jected of another constituency ? Have you not the same enlightened desire for 'R.eform as the men of West minster ? Fling back this insult, then, at the head of the traitor who has dared to offer it ; and read him this great moral lesson—of which he seems to stand sadly in need—that no man, however high may be his station, can sin against the first principles of political honesty with impunity ! We are perfectly aware of the efforts which the Burdettites are making in every district of the county. That where they cannot convince, they bully ; and where bullying is of no avail, they bribe. We know that Carlton Club money is circulatin g throughout the length and breadth of North Wilts ; that expert Tory electioneerers are on the spot ; that bludgeons are in active requisition, and brick-bats at a premium. At a c farm-house near Devizes, the other day, a oal ; skuttle fetched the high price of twenty guineas and an old-fashioned tea-cup, with the b an .. purchased by a zeal ous an dle broken off, was tiquary—Tory, of course—for the preposterous sum of ten pounds ! These are the means to which the sup porters of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT have recourse, by way of convincing the North Wilts Constituency that the arch-traitor is worthy to represent their Division But let them try their best. Let them bribe, bully, humbug,eit_iii, y a s n t dpromise, to the utmost extent of their eapa we tell them, they shall fail. The men of Wiltshire feel that they have a sacred duty to per form—an important lesson to inculcate ; and knowing this—feeling this—they will scorn to listen to the 1 " voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely." We have not words to express our admiration of the Electors of Scotland in the present momentous struggle. Even their enemies, for we call the Tories the enemies of all independent electors, cannot refuse THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1837 them praise - for consistency, or deny the fact that the constituency of that country have given the lie to all above 400 wounded to Estella. Escalera has a very fine corps under his orders, and occupies the environs of Tu della. The Portuguese legion, after the victory, was to enter Vittoria. Half of the corps Ullibare has advanced to Logrono. Thus you see that the Ebro is perfectly their ominous predictions of evil from the extension of the representative franchise. Till the year 1532, the people of that country knew not from expe rience what that franchise was ; and those who did not know the character of the people, or who could belie them for their own selfish purposes, foretold that, like emancipated slaves, they would use their new born freedom only for the destruction of themselves or their rulers. Never was prophecy more completely falsified ; and never did nation raise its moral and poli tical character so much in the eyes of all impartial observers. They are now only for the third time exer cising one of the common rights of the British Con stitution, and the noble and independent manner it which they act, shows how well they appreciate( their duty at the very commencement. They sen to the first Reformed Parliament, as they sent to the second, a large proportion—fully more than two thirds—of Reform Members, none of them either red-hot Republicans, or Tory-Radicals, or abettors of such monsters as Don MIGUEL or Don CARLOS. They sent, it is true, one individual, whose extrava gant notions of what he calls religious duty cast a re flection on his countrymen ; and they also sent two or three trimmers, but the fate of Sir A. AGNEW in Wigtonshire, of Sir G. MURRAY in Perth, and of Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, a respected elder of the Kirk, in Fife, shows that they are not to be insulted with im punity, and that the most conscientious discharge of religious duty, or the most meritorious services in the field of battle, can make no atonement even for political desertion. Notwithstanding all tho loud outcry raised about danger to the Established Church the increase of Popery the baneful in fluence of that arch-Catholic—O'CONNELL—over the MELBOURNE Ministry, and still more the violent denunciations made against it by a vast majority both in the General Assembly and out of it, the people still remain faithful to their trust, and are recording by vast majorities their increased confi dence in representatives of that very description whom they sent to Parliament in all the heat and enthusiasm of victory. Never was triumph more signal, and never did people by moral and political consistency give such a blow to man that can get to power only by bribery, intimidation, and the most wicked falsehoods. Nobly as England has behaved in nearly all the large consti tuencies, she has failed in many instances, not so much from the fault of the great body of the people, as from the system—from the impure leaven still left in many of the old boroughs, and from the baneful effect of the fifty pound clause on tenants at will, and consequently at the mercy of their Lordships. Sir R. PEEL may yet boast that he has a large minority ; but he must se cretly feel a sense of degradation that it has been ob tained by such means, and that the vast mass of the independent, thinking, and upright electors in the three kingdoms are directly opposed to him. We wish him oy of his present position. At the close of the first day's Poll for the Wes Riding of Yorkshire, the numbers stood thus— Lord Morpeth . Sir G. Strickland . Mr. Wortley . 10,442 10,097 9,548 That the Tory should gain upon the Reformers in the second day is not a very likely thing—that he should gain to the extent of 550 votes is next to a miracle ; but as miracles are not, in these latter times, wrought even to promote a good cause, much less to favour a bad one, we may take it for granted that Lord MORPETH and Sir G. STRICKLAND are the Members for adistrict containing the most numerous, and, we may add, the most intelligent constituency in the empire. The west-11 iding has thus supplies] fourteen good men to the good cause ; while only three impostors have been able, with all their arts—by hoisting false colours—by bribery —by intimidation--to smuggle themselves into the representation. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY We have received since yesterday no intelligence from Scotland of any contested election having been de cided there with the exception of Peebleshire, where the Tory has got in by a majority of 10. In this county there is, however, at all events, no loss. The state of the poll for Selkirkshire indicated at one sta tion a small majority in favour of the Duke of Buc- CLEUGH'S nominee ; but this is owing to the mush room votes which have sprung up on his Grace's estates in copious abundance, and which will eventually go for nothing. Mr. Loci', a good Liberal, has been returned for the Kirkwall district of boroughs, and Mr. HOWARD, a Whig, for Sutherlandshire. In Kincar dineshire and Berwickshire the former Members have been returned without opposition. The Irish elections arc . proceeding with great vigour. At Dublin O'CONNELL had got to the head of the poll, and HUTTON was within one of being next to him, on Thursday night. There is not the least doubt that yesterday would place them far in advance of their opponents. A vote has been gained at Carrickfergus, by the ousting of the Tory KIRKE, and the substitu tion of the Reformer RENNIE ; while the state of affairs generally, throughout Ireland, looks most pro misingly for the QUEEN and the Constitution. The Paris papers of Thursday, the whole of which we have received, contain no news save the little that can be gleaned from the annexed extracts. We pre sume our readers are indifferent to the prognostications of the Parisian journalists respecting the political complexion of the election returns in England. The latest of the subjoined telegraphic despatches are de cidedly unfavourable to the PRETENDER :---. " BORDEAUX, AUG. 2.—The Pretender, after having ordsred and commenced his movement towards the Cinca, returned again in the direction of Daroca. According to accounts from Saragossa of the 30th he was in the environs of Izuesa and Monforte." " BORDEAUX, AUG. 1,1, P.M.--I learn by sea, from Santander, that on the 28th ult. Castor entered that pro vince at the head of 2,400 wen, and was at Carriedo. Some troops had left Santander to watch his movements, and four battalions were expected from St. Sebastian to contend with him. They write from Pampeluna, on the 27th, that the expedition under Zariategui, composed of seven battalions of infantry, and two squadrons of horse, positively passed the Ebro on the 22d, at Piedra Lata, taking the direction of Santa Casilda. Generals Alcala and Escalera were in march, and were to unite on the 26th at Bellarada and pursue this expedition, the probable ob ject of which is to draw off a part of the troops which are in pursuit of Don Carlos. The mail from Saragossa failed us yesterday, and I know nothing new as to the march of the Pretender, except that on the frontier be was said to be indisposed at Cantavieja, where he appears to have assembled all his forces." " BORDEAUX, AUG. 1, HALF-PAST FIVE, T,M.—They write from Saragossa, on the 29th ult., that Don Carlos has made a move with all his forces from the side of Canis, in the direction of the Ebro ; and that Oraa is following him with his troops." " NARBONNE, AUG. 2, HALF•PAST FOUR, A.m.—The Baron de Meer, with 600 infantry and 300 horse, has forced the passage of Capsacosta, and reached Campredon. Urbistondo was on the 21st at a short distance from Ribes. On the 22d there was still numerous bands in the environs of Valencia. The Pretender was on the 19th at Rubiclos, with the Navarrese and Cabrera. They write from Bar celona, on the 28th, that Tristani was still in the environs of Molina del Rey, laying the country under contribution." PAMPELUNA, JULY 27.—(Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnel.)—" We receive the official news that Espartero and Oraa are advancing towards Cantaveija with the fixed intention of attacking the Carlists ; the force of these two corps exceed 18,000 men. Buerens, with 8,000 excellent troops, is at Blancas. The troops of Da ragossa Segorba, and a part of the division of Nogueras, keep in check the bands of Castille. " The affair of Hero, in which the Portuguese legion of Das Antes performed prodigies of valour, cost the enemy 250 men, according to the confession of the Carlists them selves ; a great part of this corps has retired into Navarre, and the other part dispersed has joined the bands of Reyo. The Calla Colonel, Antonio Urnea, has brought back guarded. " General Jaurreguy writes to the Viceroy that he is marching from St. Sebastian to repulse the Carlists, who have advanced in the line of Santander, and that he .will then come to the Arga, to act in concert with Iriarte against Estella." (From another private letter.) HUESCA, JULY 28.-" I send you some passages of a re port of our political chief :-' On the 26th: he says, Don Carlos was still at Cantavieja with 4,500 men, including the garrison. The remainder of the expedition, reckoning the bands of Cabrera and Tena, may amount to 7,500 men, and occupies Monte Santo, Mota, and las Mates. The Infant Don Sebastian and Villa Real are at Castello. The faction is a prey to anarchy ; the soldiers have loudly de clared against any attempt the object of which should not be to bring them back to their own country, Navarre, and the Biscayan provinces. It is by encouraging this idea that the Pretender has succeeded in hindering them from dis persing. Half of the inhabitants of Cantavieja have abandoned that town to take refuge at Moulla Canes and Venaros. I am every moment in expectation of receiving news of a decisive action.' " -The Political Chief, Rivas. -Constitutionnel. A Paris Morning Journal has the following, under the head of Naples :- " The death of the Viceroy of Sicily is not officially an nounced, but the situation of that island induces the fear of a revolution similar to that which took place there se venteen years ago. Two Neapolitan vessels of war lying in the roads of Palermo had their cables lately cut, and were near being lost under Mount Palermo, where the crews were fired upon and compelled to embark with the loss of several killed and wounded. " The banner of St. Rosalie, the patron saint of Pa lermo, was carried through the streets, the populace cry ing out, as it went along, Death to the foreigners! Li berty to Sicily !"The country people flocked into the city, which g ave rise to a report that Palermo was in the posses sion of banditti. " An insurrectionary committee has bee'n formed at Syra cuse. It was said at Messina on the 16th the people of the interior had proclaimed a sort of Constitution, and that several members of the high nobility and of the old Sicilian Parliament were at the head of the movement. " The Neapolitan Government has sent off some ves sels with troops on board, but the Ministers know well, that if the Sicillians choose chiefs for themselves, this force will be of no use, as it cannot penetrate into the interior. Sicily has for a long time manifested great discontent, and it is not with a few frigates and battalions the island can be subdued." The Journal de Paris repeats, that the Emperor of Russia has resolved on giving a distinct government to Poland. Its organization, however, would not be the same as that which existed previous to the insurrection of 1830 ; still - it would be independent of the general administration of the Russian empire: A viceroy would shortly be in stalled at Warsaw. An Italian Journal recounts in the following manner the death of Cardinal Sommaglia :- " The Cardinal had fallen ill in consequence of great grief. He had a syncope, was believed to be dead, and his servants hastened to have the body opened and embalmed before putrefaction. The surgeon's knife had penetrated to the lungs, when the Cardinal's heart was perceived still to beat. He recovered animation at the moment, and had force enough to repel with his hand the knife of the sur geon. But it was too late-the wound was mortal." , FRENCH FUNDS-PARIS, AUGUST :3.

THE SONG 0 [AMA TORY. IMITATED FROM SIMONIDES. 071 ).XpaY..l EV 6x;62?,..x BEILE When the storm began to blow Rough and wild, long years ago, And the transatlantic sky Scowled on faction's tyranny, Poor old Granny Tory crazed By the storm herself had raised, In the midst of her alarms Snatched young Burdett to her arms, Pressed him to her shrivelled breast, And thus sung the babe to rest : " Sleep, my darling boy, while I Hymn a parent's prophecy : Time shall be when, young and mulish, And (like youth) uncommon foolish, Duped by every patriot zany, You shall cut your poor old Granny; Swear in, would-be just, dispraise Of her quaint, old-fashioned ways ; Call her faction's pliant tool— Tyrant—bigot—knave —and fool ; Thwart her justest, fondest wishes, Rob her of her loaves and fishes ; Keep her—oh, you young deceiver ! In a constant state of fever ; And so grossly misbehave As almost to dig her grave ! " Such, while manhood lasts, shall be Your conduct, naughty boy, to me ; But when, gone your summer's hot age, Dawns your wintry sun of dotage, Then, grown somewhat wise at last, You shall well redeem the past — Every principle forswear, Every meanness bravely dare ; Every tie of honour break, Every trusty friend forsake, For your injured Granny's sake ; Roundly swear that black is white, Night is day, and day is night ; Swear, tho' sunk your honour's flame, Still it brightly burns the same ; While the world stares wild to see All thy Grandmother in thee ! !" Captain Wood, the new Member for Middlesex, is a Captain in the first battalion of the Grenadier Guards, com manded by Colonel Grant, and now quartered in Dublin. The gallant officer is nephew to the Marquis of Londonderry and Lady Emily Hardinge, and cousin to Sir Walter James, Bart., the new Member for Hull. The gallant officer is the eldest surviving son of Colonel Wood, his elder brother, Captain Charles Henry Wood, of the 10th Royal Hussars, having died some time ago at the seat of Lord Enniskillen, in Fermanagh. A missal is exhibited at the window of a pawn broker's shop in Holborn, upon which a placard is laid, which says, " This very curious missal, very old, with wood-cuts from the designs of Hans Holbein, only 255." How Holbein could have designed the subjects for the wood cuts, when the missal was printed at least twenty years before he was born, is cer tainly a curious matter, which perhaps the intelligent pawn broker might be able to explain. MACHINE FOR TAKING LIKENESSES.—" Ah," said the old lady, " painters always make ladies out prettier than they are, or they wouldn't get any custom, child. The man that invented the;machine for taking likenesses might have known that would never succeed ; it's a deal too honest—a deal," said the old lady, laughing very heartily at her own acuteness.—" Boz," in Bentley's Miscellany for August. The declaration of the numbers of the poll at the Middlesex Election will be made by the Sheriffs on Monday next at Brantford. Mr. Hume will attend on that occasion, and it is expected that a strong muster of the Reformers will then take place. On the 21st ult. a carrier pigeon alighted on the roof of a barn at Croixdalle, five leagues from Dieppe. The left wing of the bird was marked with the number 23, and to one of the feathers of the tail was fastened a piece of paper bearing these words ; " Spanish, 19 ; Portuguese, 40 ; Con sols, 924- i.—London, 20 July." The bird was killed by one of the farm.servants, who afterwards deposited it at the sous prefecture of Neufchatel. Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the lower part of the extensive premises of Mr. Clarkson, a corn-merchant, High-street, Poplar, oppo site the Town Hall, which raged with such fury that the neighbourhood was in considerable alarm. The parish engines, quickly followed by others from the Docks, were soon on the spot; but, notwithstanding this powerful assistance, before two o'clock Mr. Clarkson's premises were one immense body of na.,,c, and u Nrn completely destroyed. We are happy to add that Mr. Clarkson and all his fkoony escaped safely to the house of a neighbour, and that he is amply covered for his loss by an insurance in the Sun Fire-office. At present no cause can be assigned as to the origin of the fire. A woman of colour is about to make her appearance at one of the Paris theatres. The papers speak of her as a negress. Her name is Cecily. She was educated under the care of a lady of fortune at Guadeloupe, at whose death she was left quite destitute, and resolved to try her fortune on the stage. She was attached for some time to the French theatre at New Orleans, where she appears to have been extremely popular. A gentleman who saw her there engaged her, on the speculation of her exciting the curiosity of the Parisian public to a high degree, and since his arrival in Paris arrange ments have been made for the appearance of his protege at the Gymnaso. Cecily is 28 years of age, and is said, in her style of acting, to bear some resemblance to Mademoiselle Mars. A piece is writing for her first appearance. On Friday evening last, after the Hope London coach had left Huddersfield for Halifax, when near Eggerton Toll-gate, a person attempted to get on the coach as it was going, when his foot slipped and he fell under the wheel, which passed over his head. He was taken up and carried to the Infirmary, but never spoke afterwards. On Sunday his name was ascertained to be Mr. John Tempest, of Rneen's Head, between Halifax and Bradrord. He has left a wife and three young children to lament his fate.—. Bradford Ob server. It is rumoured that Mr. George Lane Fox will re sign his seat at Beverley, in order to allow of Sir John Beckett being returned. Captain Laurens de Choisv, Governor of French Guiana, has sent to the minister of the marine and colonies two barrels of the flesh of the Lamantin, an amphibious animal, of the seal species, found in the great rivers of America and Africa; and although it lives mostly under water, feeds entirely upon the vegetable productions it finds upon the banks. The na tives of the shoresof the Oyapock, the Oronoko, the Amazon, and the Mississippi have long made it their principle food. The samples sent by Captain de Choisy were salted, and on their arrival at Havre were opened, and examined, on Thursday last, by M. Denois, the commissary-general, in the presence of a committee of civil and naval officers. The meat, if i t may be so called, was perfectly sweet, and on Friday part of it was dressed, and found to be as tender and nutritious as the best pork. About half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, as two labourers, both of whom were much intoxicated, were passing down Lincoln's Inn-fields, one of them, who was car rying a small bag filled with quick lime, dropped the mouth of it, and spilt the whole of its contents on the foot pavement. His companion, who was carrying a number of plasterer's tools, was so enraged at the loss of the materials, that he seized hold of the bag and struck his comrade with it repeat edly across the face. The consequence was that the lime got into his eyes, and caused torture so acute as to sober the poor fellow instantly, and make him roar with pain. At first the author of the mischief seemed much pleased with his feat, but finding that his companion was in earnest, he, too, be came greatly alarmed. A number of persons collected, some of whom assisted the sufferer to his lodgings, in the neigh bourhood of Clare-market. One of his eyes he could not open at all, and the other looked greatly inflamed. It is feared he will lose the sight of at least one of his eyes. MURDER.—No person has yet been apprehended to whom the perpetration of the late murder in Anderston has been brought home. On Saturday the whole of the turn-out cotton• spinners' committee were apprehended and taken to the Police-office, and 14 of them arc at present in custody in the prison of Bridewell. Their books have also been seized. Another person has also been apprehended, and lodged in the Gorbals Poliee-office. We understand that on Monday the whole of these parties underwent an examination before the Sheriff, and that they have been remanded for farther exami nation.—Scots Times. It is important for the public to know that from this time no interment can take place unless a certificate of the death be procured from the Registrar, and presented to the officiating minister. About half-past twelve yesterday, a tremendous ex plosion, as if from the discharge of some pieces of ordnance, alarmed the inhabitants of Old-street, St. Luke's, and was found to have proceeded from the house, No. 1, Bishop's_ court, where a man, named John Smith, who occupies the lower room, carried on the business of lucifer match-making. Brannan, a police constable, 206 G, and others of the police immediately repaired to the spot, around which several hun dred persons assembled in the course of a few minntes. The place was then filled with thick smoke and an almost overpow ering sulphurous smell, and it was soon ascertained that a boy employed by Smith having been engaged in grinding and com pounding the various substances used in the manufacture, the friction had caused the explosion of the dangerous mixture. The boy having been thrown down by the force of the explo sion, crawled out of the apartment upon his hands and knees, beneath the dense vapour which filled the upper part of the room. His hands were burnt, and his face blackened aad scorched, but he did not appear to have sustained any other injury of a serious ❑ature. Smith (his employer), who was ti,e room at the t.rnc, csca f :: , (l,,sithout any actual injury, but was found lying on the stairs in a fainting state, having appa rently beau thrown there by the shock. The Queen gave audiences yesterday to the Earl of Munster, Viscount Melbourne, and Lord Glenelg. Her Majesty had a dinner party last evening at the new Palace, in St. James's Park.

SILVER SCULLS.--We are happy to be able to state that tiOr injury done to the cutters which accompanied the match f 0 . the above, as rep or t e d i n our paper o f yester d ay , turns out' upon examination, to have been very slight. We have heard a rumour that the Tories intend t° propose Sir Edward Suo.den as Speaker in opposition i t° Mr. Abcrcromby, an d that upon this question their wb °4' strength is to be mustered. Another robbery of jewels, committed under cit.' cnmstances of a very mysterious nature, took place at the r e ; sidence of Lady Blacket, 15, Portman-square, between til hours of seven o'clock on Thursday evening and one yest e ; day morning. Information of the affair was speedily ni a known at the Marylebone-lane station-house, when Inspect,', Wiggins, of the D division, instituted a minute inquiry int o particulars, and ascertained that on the evening alluded to Iwo, Ladyship, accompanied by Miss Blacket, went in a carriage her Majesty's Theatre, and, on their return home, discovere, that one box of jewels had been broken open, and the en tents abstracted, and that another box full of the same k in d of valuable property was carried off. The articles consists, of three gold 'watches, a number of chains, necklaces , ea c t rings, bracelets, and bijouterie of different descriptions , o b with pearls and diamonds, and are valued at between and 4001. The Inspector has closely examined the Prer rus ,. - c d and it does not appear that either windows or doors were Wi l y to effect an entrance, and, during the absence of her Lady, art pornof daughter, the porter was, as he states, the greater Fon, a!' the time sitting in the hall ; the property was tak en de a bedroom on the first floor, and every exertion is being 1131 by the police to discover the depredator. -, •
