When Mr. LEADER first started for Westminster, he promised his vote to that gentleman, and because he would not break that promise --•because he would not do that for which not only all right thinking men, but even the base tools of a base fac tion who were trying to destroy him, would have despised him—he has been made to suffer the infliction of Tory wrath, as far as it could be made to bear upon the worldly circumstances of a humble individual. The first person that figures on this stage of Tory persecution is one TERRY, living at 80, Eaton-square, who calls on Mr. TUCK and solicits his vote for the old dotard, BURDETT. Finding Mr. TUCK not to be driven from his pledge, TERRY tells him he "should have his house pulled about his ears in a short time," and withdraws his custom instanter. The next worthy that makes his appearance is Mr. H. B. BARING, a Committee-man, if we are not mistaken, of BURDETT. BARING would listen to nothing. It was in vain that he was told by Mr. TUCK that his word was given. No—he flew into a rage and de clared that if he did not break his word, he would take away his own custom, and make all over whom he had any influence do the same This threat he put in execution, and to an ex tent, it would appear, which could not fail to af fect his victim seriously. Mr. CHRISTOPHER, the husband of Lady MARY CHRISTOPHER, left off dealing with Mr. TUCK in consequence. Lady SHELLEY, 35, Belgrave-square, to show her Ladyship's spite in a truly aristocratic way, wrote at the bottom of Mr. T.'s bill, " you are discharged." Sir CHARLES BA GOT, 82, Eaton-square, " did as he liked with his own." Mr. LYON, 39, Bel grave-square, and Sir A.. PEYTON, 19, Grosvenor square, followed the advice and example of Committee man BARING; so that one way and another Mr. TUCK, for his honesty and independence, suffered a diminu tion of from 20/. to 301. per week in his trade. This is the way the Tories get their vile creatures shovelled into Parliament, and then their equally vile organs proclaim, " Behold the voice of the people—see the effeets of re-action in favour of Toryism !" We have given the names and addresses of Mr. Tucx's persecutors, that there may be no mistake about the parties, and that they may be held up to the reproba tion which their unprincipled conduct deserves. We need not express our conviction, that the public will mark Mr. TUCK'S noble behaviour with its approbation and encouragement. Letters and Papers from Madrid to the Bth instant have been received. Great excitement prevailed in the capital in consequence of the capture and plunder of Segovia by the Carlists. The alcazar, or fortress, which was deemed impregnable, and garrisoned by six hundred men, well supplied with provisions and mili tary stores of all kinds, capitulated without striking a blow, on the simple condition that the lives of the men should be spared. In this fortress had been de posited the plate and jewels of several suppressed con vents, and the riches of the town and neighbourhood, which thus fell into the hands of the Carlists, without even the trouble of a pillage. The Church plate alone was valued at 7,0001. After plundering the fortress the town was given up to two hours' indiscriminate pillage, in the course of which the most frightful excesses were committed. The rebels then quitted the town, carry ing with them an immense quantity of valuable booty, a supply 'of arms, and a great number of p r i soners , some of them persons of distinction. Their first movement was in the direction of La Granja, but on learning the approach of General MENDEZ VIGO, they retreated towards Sepulveda. This intelligence was known in Madrid on the morning of the 6th inst. A Council of Ministers was held, after the rising of which Senor A. M. AL VAREZ, Captain-General of New Castile, addressed the following proclamation to the inhabitants of the capital : " A body, consisting of scarce 5,000 men, has occupied Segovia and its alcazar (fort), contrary to all probability. But this event will have no influence whatever on the fate of this capital, garrisoned by soldiers of the army, and a numerous and determined National Guard. " I can assure you that Government has taken all the measures it thought necessary to annihilate the rebels who may intend to tread the territory of New Castile, and will neglect nothing to chastise the enemies of the throne and of the country. " Soldiers of the Armv, and National Guards !—The rebels being in question, I have nothing more to tell you, and no further caution to give. You, the defenders of the Constitution and of the illustrious Isabel 11., you know how to do your duty. My fortitude will be equal to my un bounded resolution. Obedience and union, and our triumph is as certain as the cause we defend, and shall defend till w•e exterminate the Carlist hordes, is just and holy." In the evening there was a meeting of the Ayunta miento, or Corporation of the Capital, at which the Ministers attended. They received offers of any as sistance in money, and a volunteer force, which they might consider necessary. The National Guards like wise requested General QuiRoGA to wait upon her MAJESTY, to assure her of their willingness to march to any point where their services might be required. The QUEEN thanked them for their loyal zeal, but ob served that the Government was in a condition to dis pense with their services out of the capital. ,The discontented in Madrid were under no alarm, real or affected, as to its safety ; they only complained that the Government had not done its duty, else the rebels dare not, with a force not exceeding five thousand two hundred men, make their appearance in its vicinity. This is to some extent true ; but what can the Govern ment do to ascertain the fidelity and courage of the whole army ? Six hundred men in Segovia gave up one of the strongest fortresses in Spain to a band of two hundred and fifty Carlists. Here is an instance of cowardice the most shameful, or of treachery the most flagrant, and yet the fact could only be ascertained by the loss of the town. It is thus in almost every instance where the QUEEN'S troops are defeated. The fault is mainly in the army, which is composed of the very worst materials, badly officered, and ill dis ciplined. These are evils which the present Ca binet has not had time and means to remedy, and which, from the progress of events, are growing irremediable. Many of the officers of the QUEEN'S army wish to prolong a war, from which they derive not only their social importance but their means of existence ; others apprehend inquiries into their conduct upon the restoration of tranquillity, which cannot be instituted while the sword remains unsheathed ; some anticipate preferments —more the accumulation of wealth—and all look with dismay to the prospect of depending upon the combined good faith, gratitude, and resources, of the Spanish Go vernment, in the event of a disbanding of the army. In the meantime, the continuance of the civil war i s imparting a hue of dark atrocity to the character of the common soldiery. The men accustomed to scenes of wanton bloodshed, stript of all the " pomp, parade, and circumstance" of war upon a large scale, are fast merg ing all the better feelings of the frank dare-devil sol dier, into the fell purposes of the robber and the ruthless assassin. The effect of such a general perversion of the feelings of the Spanish peasantry upon the future condition of the Peninsula must be disastrous beyond calculation. No news of any importance had reached Madrid from the North of Spain. The Secretary of the War Department had received two dispatches from ESPARTERO, dated the Ist and 3d inst., respec tively, only remarkable for containing details of differences of opinion between himself and General ORAA respecting the " vvhereabout" of the Pre tender I ESPARTERO was on the stn at Calamocha, and ORAA was marching upon Mirambel, in which town he had learned the Pretender had arrived on the night of the 3d. We have reason, however, to infer that the QUEEN'S Generals know very little of the movements of the enemy, and should they fall in with him it will be more the effect of chance than design. Advices from Constantinople, of the 26th ult., have reached us. The only son of Sir PULTENEY MAL COLM died of the plague in the course of the pre ceding week. The malady was then on the increase in the Turkish capital. Trade was greatly depressed, and there were strong symptoms of a general com mercial convulsion. Three extensive and old-estab lished houses had failed in the course of one week, and several others were thought to be in peril. The British, French, and Russian merchants in Persia were complaining loudly of the treatment they experienced from the native dealers, who denounced as public enemies all who purchased their wares. The CAPSTAN PASHA sailed for the Mediterranean on the 22d, with a squadron of three ships of war and an armed schooner. It is probable that his destination is Candia, whither General CASS, the American Envoy, proceeded on the same day to have an interview with MEHEMET ALT. The whole of the French Papers of Tuesday have been received ; but the accounts they bring from the theatre of war in Spain are neither more recent nor more satisfactory than those which appeared yesterday in this journal. What little additional matter there is will be found in the annexed brief extracts. Of do mestic news there is none of the slightest moment in the French Papers. Tuesday being the festival of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, the Bourse was closed. :""A letter from Saragossa, of the 6th, contains the news given yesterday by the telegraph, of a movement of Espar tero to Daroca, towards which the division of Buerens is marching. The General's intention seems to be to detach a corps of 7,000 men into New Castille to complete the se curity of the capital. The bands which have occupied Se govia are closely pursued by a Christino column, and will probably be overtaken near the Escurial, where it is hoped that the division sent from Madrid will stop the Carlists. We received a supplement to the Constitutional of Saragossa, of the Gth. It announces that Don Carlos has been completely defeated in the environs of Canta vieja, between Forcuel and Sol ; the Pretender, it is :laid, fled towards Zanita with three thousand men, abandoning a considerable convoy. This news doubtless needs confirmation ; but it is eertain that the vanguard of Oraa, after an action between the sharpshooters, dislodged the Carlists from the heights of Belchite. The corps of Oraa, with the division of Nogueras and Borso, and a part of the guard, consists of 18,000 excellent troops, which is much more than is necessary to face the bands of Don Carlos during the excursion of the Count de Luchena. In Guipuscoa, Jaurcguy has sallied from St. Sebastian with three battalions, has beaten the Carlists near Andoain, and captured a number of cattle. The National Guard is forming with great activity in all the parts of the Biscayan provinces occupied by the Christinos. Letters from Bilboa say that a part of the garrison of that city has made a sally, and surprised the nine Carlist battalions, consisting of 400 men, near Sodupe, 3 leagues distant.

The Morning Post of this day strives hard to make it appear, that all the Tory returns during the election have been secured by the fairest and most constitutional means, and that if bribery and intimidation have ex isted anywhere, they have existed among the Refor mers. " Where," asks our Contemporary, "did the power lie of intermeddling with effect in a manner hos tile to the freedom of election ? In the Ministry, or in their opponents ? Which party had the means of rendering a system of corruption or intimidation most available for its purpose? Which party had the strongest temptation to set on foot and pursue this system ? We may here appeal conSdently to the com mon sense of our readers. It is the party actually in ,possession of power which can alone gain by putting down the freedom of election." This is ingenious so phistry, nothing more ; for every one knows that the " strong temptation" to which our Contemporary al ludes, existed among the Tories, and among them only. The Reformers had the goodness of their cause and the popularity of their principles to support them ; but the antagonist faction haying no such potent auxiliaries, was compelled to have recourse in its desperation to the most flagrant acts of corruption. Had the Tories not bribed and bullied, cajoled and intimidated, they had been by this time all but annihilated. The result of the elections was a matter of life or death to them ; &nee, being by far the richest portion of the com munity, they lavished that wealth unsparingly to pro mote the interests of their party. Look at their late conduct in North Wilts, in North Derbyshire, in Midcl:tesex, in Berwick, in Exeter, and in many other col'aities, cities, and towns that we could mention, where nothing but the unconstitutional influence which they exerted, in the most barefaced manner, saved them from utter extinction. Had they, like the Reformers, relied for success on their cause, there would scarcely have been a hundred head of Tories returned to the House of Commons. They knew this, and knowing this, they had the strongest possi ble temptation to bribe every corruptible consti tuency. But, enquires our Contemporary, " which party had the means of rendering a system of corrup tion or intimidation most available for its purpose ?" Why, the richest to be sure, and this, as we before observed, is the Tory party. If, however, the Morn ing Post be positive that it is the Reformers, and not his own faction, that have practised the worst acts of bribery and intimidation during the election, why sloes be not come forward and advocate the Bal lot ? This would at once put an end to all such practices ; and as his party is the immaculate and the constitutional one, would, in the event of another dis solution of Parliament, ensure them a triumphant majority. We test our Contemporary's sincerity by this question. If he come round to the Ballot, we shall be satisfied that Ire is really in earnest in his culogiums on the perfect purity of his party's elec tioneering practices ; if he continues, as he has always hitherto done, to oppose it, he knows right well, to quote the language of SWIFT'S " King of Brobdignag," that "he is speaking the thing that is not"—in other words, that he is telling a bouncer of the first water. "It is alittle too bad," adds our Contemporary, "that, after havin g practised intimidation and corruption to the utmost extent of their power, and after having prac tised them in vain, the Whig-Radical party should employ the pretext of superior purity as the refuge of discomfiture and defeat, and call calumny to their aid, in order to show their comparative freedom from the vices which they have most dearly cherished." This is unquestionably too bad, and as our Contemporary evidently takes it much to heart, w e have no doubt he will gladly avail himself of the opport un it y t h at it affords him o f a d vocat i ng t h e Bal lot, which is the surest possible remedy against these iniquitous practices. • Lord WORSLEY has done an important service to the public, by laying before it a spechnen—one out of tens of thousands that will never see the light --of the unprincipled and tyrannical acts committed by the To ries in support of their anti-Reform system. The Noble Lord, the Member for Lincolnshire, has published a letter addressed to him by Mr. TUCK, a tradesman residing in Westminster, which, though it does not in the least surprise us, who have long since learned to appreciate the conduct of the Hanoverian faction, may, pe n rhap s , to some of our readers, display that conduct i a form of greater iniquity th an t h ey b e li eve d poss ibl e . Mr. TUCK is a Reformer, and had, we believe, up to the declared apostasy of the wretched old Man Wh ose name now stinks in the nostrils o 4 THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAI, AUGUST 17, 1837 WESTMEATH COUNTY, Au o. 14.

A LOVE AFFAlR.—Yesterday afternoon the pas sengers in Fleet-street had their curiosity attracted by the following ludicrous affair :—A tall, genteel-looking young man was walking arm-in-arm with a fine-looking smartly at tired country girl, in white, when an elderly man of farmer like appearance rushed upon them, and, seizing hold of the young lady, held his grip of her, while the young man or dered him to leave his wife alone. The old man, however, determined to keep her in his custody, and declared that she was his daughter, and no wife of his, and swore that he would give hint in charge of an officer. A crowd of persons assembled, and upon inquiry it was ascertained that the gay Lothario had been privately paying his amours to the young lady, unknown to her parents, in the neighbourhood of Reading, when she agreed to fly by night with her lover, and proceed to London, to enter into the happy state of ma trimony ; and on the angry father getting scent of their de parture he immediately went in pursuit of them, and popped upon them just after the knot had been tied which made them one for ever. The father persisted in keeping his daughter, vowing vengeance, and threatening to give them both into custody. The steam navigation of the Danube becomes daily more important. The Nador and As ad alternately bring in every secon d or t hi r d d ay a cargo of travellers from Vienna, &c. This gives to our thriving and rapidly im proving city a - degree of prosperity never before known. The navigation is also very active from this city to the Turkish frontiers, and vice versa, but the navigation on the Turkish portion of the Danube is said not to be very lu crative.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 11. At the annual great sheep fair at Mitford, near Salis bury, last week, upwards of forty-three thousand were penned, most of which were in prime condition, and sold at full two shillings a-head over the prices of last year. In ferior stock met with a heavy sale, and many of the latter description obtained no purchasers upon any terms. Vii_;E-CIiANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLO R sit in his Court in Lincoln's Inn to-day, for the purpose of giving judgment in the only two cases left undecided by his Honour. DYER V. WEBB. His HONOUR gave judgment in this case, which came before the Court for the purpose of having a settlemcnt, executed upon the marriage of the plaintiff with a Miss Ingram, rectified. His Honour, after going at considerable length into the facts of the case, decided that he could not rectify the settlement. PEARSON V. TORRINGTON AND OTHERS. His HONOUR also gave judgment in this case, refusing to appoint a receiver of the property of the partnership of the defendants, who are wool-porters and warehouse men in Seething and Elbow-lanes. This is the last day of his Honour's sitting, previous to Michaelmas Term. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Lanky Darby was capitally indicted for a rape, alleged to hare been committed upon the person of Margaret Lar man, at Dance's Hill, near Barnet, upon the 25th of June last. Mr. BODKIN having stated the case to the Jury, called The prosecutrix, who deposed that she, with her uncle, and a man named Fisher, with whom she cohabited, came up to assist in the harvest. They were employed by a Mr. White, at Dance's End. On the 25th of June, the parties had their supper at the Augel public-house, and stopped there till near one o'clock in the morning. They and the prisoner and another Irishman left the house together. The prisoner was not one of their party. After they had gone on a little way they found a foreman on a neighbouring farm, laying on the bank, drunk. They stopped and were going to pick hiw up. While her uncle and Fisher were so employed, the prisoner took hold of her gown sleeve and wanted her to go with him. On Fisher interfering, the prisoner knocked him down. He did the same by the uncle. He then took her by the shoulders and drove her down the bill before him. (The re mainder of the evidence was unfit for publication. If true, the capital offence was completed.) After she got away from him she returned to the Angel, and saw the landlord, who told her that her friends had gone towards Barnet. She went on that road and met her uncle and Fisher along with two policemen, to one of whom she told what had taken place. She informed Fisher of the whole affair next morning. She had no doubt of the identity of the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.--Her uncle had gone to Bedfordshire in a few days after the transaction. She still lived with Fisher, and had gone down to Hert fordshire with him. She did not tell the policeman all ; he asked her if the prisoner had committed the capital of fence, and she said " No," because he was a stranger. George Fisher deposed to having been at the Angel on the 25th of June. He, Margaret Larman, and W. Norman, left there about half past twelve. The prisoner left about the same time. After they had gone on some two hundred yards, they waited to assist Mrs. Goodman's fore man, when he saw the prisoner pulling at Margaret Larman, and when he asked what he had to do with her, the prisoner knocked him down. He was insensible, and when he got up he was alone with the drunken man. He went for policemen, and was returning with them when he met his other friends. The prosecutrix told him what had taken place next morning. George Wardle, of the foot patrol, was on duty on the morning of the 25th June, when Fisher and another came up and complained of ill-usage, and wanted him to go and look for a female. He went, and on the road met the pro secutrix, whose gown was all over dust and much torn. She complained of ill-usage. The prisoner was taken into cus tody on the 11th July. When the prisoner was taken he asked if the prosecutrix had sworn against him, for if she did he would either be hung or transported. Matthew Jennings, the landlord of the Angel, remem bered the parties being at his house on the night in ques tion. The prisoner went out . with Norman and Larman ; Fisher went out in three or four minutes after. Soon after they went out he heard the cry of " Murder!" but did not leave the house, for in about a minute after Norman and Fisher came up, and he told them where to find the police. They went off in that direction, and soon after the prisoner came up, and said they had been meddling with Mrs. Goodman's foreman. He said something about a bundle, but he could not now recollect what. He went away, and soon after the woman came up, and he directed her to the road he had sent Fisher and Norman. Thomas Austin, in his cross-examination, said, when he asked the prosecutrix if she had been violated, she said " No, he only wanted to do it." The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE complained of the absence of the uncle, Norman. lie was the most important witness, and in his absence it would not be safe for any Jury to con vict in such an extraordinary case as the present. He did not wish to say one word with respect to the evidence which had been given ; but in the absence of Norman he would recommend the Jury to acquit the prisoner. A verdict of acquittal was then immediately returned. NEW COURT. Gcorge Coulson, a waterman, was indicted for steal ing a boat and pair of sculls, the property of Benjamin Joseph Spedding, 66!bs. weight of rope, the property of Richard Beard, 10Ibs. weight of rope, the property of Edward Wood ; 28lbs. weight of rope, the property of James Heighington, and 221bs. weight of rope, the pro perty of James Wilson. After a very lengthened investigation of the several charges, the Jury found the prisoner guilty. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, AUG. 13.—1 t seems that at Leige, as well as Vervier, the people are resolved to let the King hear their lamentations respecting the stagnation of the finest manu factories of the Province. May the head of the State bring back from his privacy the conviction that everywhere in the whola kingdom there is but one desire to curse a Mi nistry whose ignominy and obstinacy impede the develope ment of our manufacturing prosperity ! The Espoir says—" The distress which at this moment affects the principal branches of our manufactures and commerce in general, the complete stagnation of business, the state of distress of our manufactory of arms, and of our woollen cloth manufactories, call for the attention, and merits the solicitude of Government. For weeks a kind of apponic epidemic (epidemic apponique) prevails at Brus sels, a great number of persons experience a complete ex tinction of the voice." The Minister of Public Works, now on a visit to Eng land, will, it is said, return to Brussels in ten or twelve days. During the late storm several buildings were struck and injured by the lightning. Among others the church or Nipperen, near Tempes, and the cathedral of St. Gudule, at Novelle. At Ostend, the storm on the 10th was awful. After a few claps of thunder, a deluge of water and of hail-stones, larger than partridge-eggs, continued for three quarters of an hour, and most of the streets were in a few minutes flooded to the depth of a foot. A fishing-boat, of Blankenbcrg, off the coast, was struck by lightning and sunk. Two men on board perished. BELGIAN } UNDS—BaussELs, Ave. 14. Actual Debt, 2yi per Cent.

The funeral was strictly private. His son, Mr. John Lawless, and his brother, were chief mourners. The Rev. P. Dowling, 0.5. A., (Dublin) Messrs.

THE QUEEN.—A few days ago, on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to the National Gallery, the Royal party was delayed for a short time in consequence of the non-appearance of the Ladies-in-Waiting. When the lady in question made her appearance, her Majesty, looking at her watch, remarked that it was seven minutes past the appointed hour, and that she hoped punctuality would for the future be especially studied by those about her. The hint thus thrown out had the effect of discomposing the lady, and, in consequence, she put on her shawl awry,' which her Majesty noticing, was graciously pleased to point out, saying, with a smile, " We shall all understand our duties better by-aod-bye." THE DUCHESS OF KENT.—This is the anniver sary of the birthday of the Duchess of Kent, who was born on the 17th of August, 1789. Her Majesty will give a splendid banquet at the new Palace on the occasion, in ho nour of her parent's birthday ; at which will be present all the members of the Royal Family, his Majesty the King of Wirtemberg, the Foreign Ambassadors, her Majesty's Mi nisters, and several of the Nobility. It is rumoured at the Club-houses that the Earl of Durham, who is now at his seat Lambton Castle, is likely to succeed Lord Glenelg as Colonial Secretary.—Monzing Paper. Sir Compton and Lady Domville and family have arrived in Grosvenor-square, from Leamington. Marshal Clauzel has left Paris for the South of France. Colonel Seymour of the Guards was a good deal hurt yesterday by his horse having reared and fallen back on him. The accident took place on the parade in St. James's Park, during the relief of the guard. Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess of Oldenburg yesterday paid a visit to the Queen Dowager, at Bushey, and on their return gave an entertain ment and dinner to a distinguished party at Mivart's Hotel. The illustrious party have deferred their intended departure from town for some time, in consequence of numerous in vitations. The Duke de Nemours returned to Trepont on Sa turday, from Brighton, and was received on landing by the Royal Family. On Sunday the Duke of Orleans reviewed in the Court of the Chateau of Eu, the troops quartered in the arrondissement, to whom refreshments were afterwards given. The Queen and Princesses were present at the dis tribution of the prizes at the College of Eu. The Minister of the Marine left the Chateau on Saturday.—French Paper. The Earl of Eldon left town on Monday last for the neighbourhood of Windsor ; and yesterday the learned lord returned to Hamilton-place. His lordship is in excel lent health. The Archbishop of Armagh, the Ladies Anne and Catherine Beresford, Miss Beresford, and the Misses Harriet and Susan Beresford, left Beresford House, St. James's-square, this day for the Archiepiscopal Palace, in Ireland. The Marquis of Waterford sailed yesterday from the River in his yacht, on a six months' cruise on the coast of Norway. His Lordship has taken a chosen crew of hardy veterans ; and also boarding-pikes, guns, and pistols, for the purpose of attacking the bears and other wild beasts which inhabit that region. —Post. The Countess of Taniterville has arrived at Chil lingham Castle, near Wooler, Northumberland. The Noble Countess has been on a. visit to Sir Charles and Lady Monck, near Newcastle. The Hon.

Sir George Warrender has taken Lord Glenlyon's shooting quarters at Glenlyon, near Blair Athol, which the Duke of Buceleuch rents of the trustees of the present Duke of Athol. It would seem from the inscription on the Duchess of St. Alban's coffin, that her Grace's age was not known to her nearest connections. This is a subject upon which ladies of a certain age are particularly reserved ; but, from combined circumstances, it seems that her Grace was about sixty-five. The Russian Ambassador is expected to make a short stay in Paris, on his way from London to the baths of Savoy. His Excellency is greatly attached to French customs and manners, having filled the post of Russian Mi nister to the Tuileries nearly twenty years before his ap pointment in the same capacity at the British Court.

Willshere, M.P. CHELTENHAM, AUG. 15.—The delightful state of the weather has caused our promenades and public walks to present a very animated appearance.

The ball at the Rotunda on Thursday was well attended. The master of the ceremonies' ball is expected to take place in a fortnight. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Auo. 15. THE ELECTIONS.—To the splendid victories obtained by the Liberals over the odious Hanoverian faction, we have to-day the satisfaction of adding THREE more coun ties—Queen's, Wexford, and Roscommon—all of which have returned good men and true. For Queen's County Mr. Fitzpatrick has been returned, beating Mr. Vesey by 49 votes. Sir C. Coote polled 1,224, Mr. Fitzpatrick 943, and poor Mr. Vesey only 894. The contest was close and trying. The Dublin Evening Post says—" The un fortunate electioneering engagements of Sir Charles Coote paralysed, to a great extent, the inclinations of his Catholic tenantry, and, we will venture to affirm, of his own politi cal predilections. His position, indeed, and the conduct growing out of, if not governed by, a bye-gone compact, has placed him, for a time, in a very tovlZward and embar rassing situation with regard to the Liberals of the County, and we confess that we are by no means ,satisfied with his proceedings." In Wexford there was no contest, and M e ssrs. Maher and Power were accordingly declared duly elec,' - ed. The Dublin Evening Post says—" It is now forty yeat - s nearly since the Rebellion, when a Roman Catholic could scercely show himself in the county. Two Roman Catholics, ha - ws ever, are now the Members, without a contest. The Earl of Mountmorris is gone—his estates dilapidated—the Mar quis of Ely has lost his power, if not much of his pos sessions—the Earl of Courtown, of whose power and in fluence we used to hear so much, has been beaten down. The Delzoes of the county are crushed. A change has come over the spirit of the Wexford Orangemen's dream." For Roscommon we have the O'Connor Dols and Mr. French. Of the former gentleman it was said by Mr. Grace, who proposed him, " He has served you for three Parliaments, untired and unceasing in his attentions — fixed in his principles—faithful to his country—in its true sense, a friend of civil and religious liberty—an assiduous promoter of liberty and reform in Church and State." Mr. Kelly, in proposing his friend Mr. French, said—" When last I had this honour, we were on the eve of a severe contest, and the prospect and promise of a petition—the arrangements for the petition were perfected, and Counsel of the first eminence in London were retained to conduct it. Why are we not now met in a similar spirit ? Because the virtue and patriotism of the people of this county were indomitable and unpurchasable. Yes, it is to the people we owe this tranquillity, and not to the retiring disposi tion of their opponents. The people fought a good battle. They gave the death-blow to Conservatism, and I hope it may never, never rise again. When last here, I told you what Mr. French would do—l promised for him ; I will not do so now. But I will ask, Did he ever give a bad vote ?—(" No, never," and cheers.) I defy his greatest enemy to say he did. He evinced great attention, perse verance, and aptitude for business. He has been most useful heretofore ; for the future I will not speak ; but look to his address. He has there pledged his support to the present Government. He will do everything possible to promote the good of the people, and to realise all that is expected from him." In the county of Cork, Reform is triumphant. The majority for Barry and Roche, at five o'clock on Monday, was 200 ; and the majority would have been larger, but for the delay occasioned by the Tories' agents in putting the qualification oath to the Catholic electors. This county election and that of Sligo are the only ones not yet de cided. But of the result not the slightest doubt can be entertained. Reform will triumph here as elsewhere. TRALEE BOROUGH ELECTION PETITION.—A public meeting took place on Wednesday last, at the Chamber of Commerce, Captain Leyne in the Chair, for the purpose of entering into a subscription to defray the expenses of a peti tion to Parliament against the return of Mr. John Bate man, the franking. M.P. for this borough. Capt. LEYNE having briefly explained the object of the meeting, Mr.O'Costszeaa said that he felt it his duty, in the first place, to express his gratitude to the constituency of the borough of Tralee, for the firm support which they had given to his son during the late struggle for constitutional rights.—(Cheers.) They had returned their late Member triumphantly by a majority of 23.—(Loud cheering.) For forty years he had been advocating the cause of the Catho lics in Ireland, and he had been amply and richly rewarded by the people of Ireland for the services he had rendered to his country.—(Loud cheering.) With regard to the conduct of the Assessor, he promised the electors of Tralee that they should have a full and searching investigation into it before a Committee of the House.—(Loud cheers.) There was only one way by which it could be remedied now ; and he pledged himself, in the presence of their highly respectable clergyman (the Rev. Eugene O'Sullivan), who knew the constituency, their fathers and sons, that he would vindicate their rights, and see them fully justified. —(Loud cheers.) The necessary expense would amount to about 1,0001. or 1,2001. He would cheerfully pay the expenses himself ; but as he saw they were determined to get up a fund for the purpose, he would subscribe 200/. for himself and Mr. Maurice O'Connell.—(Loud cheers.) The decision of the worthy Assessor, he was sure, would he voted both frivolous and vexatious even by a Tory Com mittee. After some pertinent and public-spirited remarks from Messrs. Scott, M. O'Connell, J. O'Connell, and Pierce Ma honey, who all subscribed sums varying from 100/. to 20/. each, several other gentlemen came forward and subscribed most liberally. ACammittee was then appointed. Up wards of 1,0001. have been already subscribed. SERGEANT BALL, M.P.—Mr. Sergeant Ball, M. P., was entertained at dinner last week by his constituents at the Ormond Hotel, Clonmel. FIGHTING.—The following letter appears in the London derry ,Journal It has been reported by enemies that, during the late election, I challenged the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson to fight me. I beg leave to declare that I did not so far forget or demean myself. The fact is, I was twice struck on the face, without any provocaSion, by Mr. Daw son ; and, in the beat of the moment, I was so foolish as to retaliate. Mr. Dawson then challenged me to go into a room and fight it out with him, which I accepted ; but the Rev. Mr. O'Kane and Mr. 'Mellen happening to interfere, nothing came of the challenge. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " EDWARD TOY." LAIRD'S NARRATIVE OF THE LAST EXPE DITION UP THE NIGER.—This narrative will be perused with earnest attention by those who take an interest in African discovery—a class of renders from which few are excluded. During the expedition tznell information was obtained of the utmost value to futur; speculators in the merchandise of Africa ; while as regards I ;eographical dis covery, and individual adventure, the present volumes are most important and interesting. The voyage was under taken in two steam-vessels, the Quorrn and Alburicali ; and out of fifty persons who embarked on the perilous duty of exploring the wild and burning regions of central Africa, only nine have survived to tell the strange tale of what they had witnessed, and what they had suffered. Our know ledge of the mysterious interior of the vast and savage African continent, and of the manners, customs, and forms of government of the uncivilized nations that inhabit it, has been greatly increased by the present work, which is an in valuable addition to the information already accumulated as to the wonderful regions in the interior of Africa. The volumes arc embellished with a map and some excellent plates, engraved from designs made on the spot.—Naval and Military Gazette. MURDER BY AN IDIOT.—A painful sensation has been excited at Leeds by the murder of a little boy, about three years and a half old, son of Mr. Webster, a pocket-book maker, of St. Alban's-street, Wade-lane. In the immediate vicinity of this street is an open piece of ground where children are in the habit of meeting to play. About half-past six on Monday evening the deceased child went there to play, and about eight he was found with his throat cut in a dreadful manner. The poor child lingered until the following afternoon, and then expired. It was some time before any clue could be obtained likely to lead to the discovery of the murderer, but by the exertions of the police information was at length gained which led to the apprehension of Joseph Jeffgate, a youth of nineteen years of age, an idiot, who, it appears, was frequently teased by the children, and had been heard to declare that he would murder all the little boys he met with. On Wed nesday an inquest was held on the body of the deceased. Joseph Jeffgate, the prisoner, was in the room during the whole of the examination. He had that peculiar expres sion of countenance characteristic of insanity. Elizabeth Marston, .who lived as servant with Mr. Webster, stated that the last. time she saw the deceased alive was at about half-past six on Monday evening, when he said he was going out to play with som e b o y s , w hi c h h e was i n the habit of . doing without any b o dy go i ng out w ith him. A little before eight her master sent her out to look for him. On inquiring of a woman if she had seen a little boy, she uttered a shriek, and said there was a child killed. Witness ran to the spot and found it was the little boy she was in search of. Mr. 'Peale, surgeon, deposed that he saw the child about ten on Monday night, other surgical aid having been previously obtained. He found a large transverse wound four or five inches in length, and varying in depth ; the windpipe had been divided, and a great discharge of blood had taken place. The wound was the cause of death. A table-knife found in the coat pocket of the pri soner was produced ; a part of the blade had been broken off, the remainder was about three inches long, and had marks of blood upon it. Mr. Teale said it was an instru ment very likely to have inflicted the ” wound. The Jury returned . a verdict of " Wilful Murder against the priso ner, who has since b een committed to York Castle. While confined in the Courthouse he attempted self-destruction by hanging himself, but was cut down in time to save his life.
