PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Sampson steam-frigate, Captain T. Henderson, sailed this afternoon for Wool wich, to be paid off. The freight she brought on mer chants' account, amounting to 2,500,000 dollars (65 tons 16 cwt. of specie), was taken up from the Portsmouth terminus of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway to London-bridge by a special train, which started at three o'clock this morning, under the charge of Mr. Superintendent Sutton and special guards. The Plumper screw steam-sloop, Commander M. Nolloth, went to Spithead to-day, saluting the Com mander-in-Chief's flag as she passed the Castle. Before she left the harbour, her crew were paid two months' wages in advance. She tried her speed on the mile in Stokes Bay for some hours before she finally anchored. The following was the result.—The mean of five runs, with 44.8 revolutions, or 112 of the screw, steam 141 b., vacuum 264, produced a speed of 6 497 knots per hour. Her load draught was 12 feet 2 inches forward, and 12 feet 4 inches aft; consumption of fuel, 5f cwt. per hour at the above rate; slip of the screw 10 per cent. On the trial of the Reynard, sister vessel, Commander Cracroft, last week, the result in her case was 7.059 knots per hour, but the slip of her propeller, owing to the swell caused by a strong southerly wind, amounted to upwards of 19 per cent., or 7 per cent. more than on any previous trial. Both vessels are now.at Spithead, the Reynard having gone out of harbour yesterday, saluting as she went the Commander-in-Chief's flag. The St. Lawrencs, American frigate, Captain Pauld ing, arrived at St. Helen's last night from the Baltic. She weighed at 11h. 30m. A.M. to-day, and proceeded to work deliberately through Spithead and the Solent to ,-She Motherbank, turni ng i n an d out among the ships of Sir C:"Napter's squadron quite- at her ease, and taking no more notice of the flag-ship there or the one in the harbour than she did of the royal standard at Osborne or of the Powerful when she passed to the eastward on the 4th of October. The Rifleman screw-schooner, Lieutenant S. S. L. Crofton commanding, was undocked this afternoon. In Port and Fitting—Victory, 22, flag-ship; Illus trious, 10, ordinary guard-ship ; Excellent, gunnery exercise ship ; Victoria and Albert, Royal yacht ; Su perb, 80; Blenheim, guard-ship for steamers; Rolla, exercise brig for naval apprentices; Sharpshooter, Rifle man, Fairy, Fire Queen, Echo, and Bee steamers; Fanny, Port Admiral's yacht ; Portsmouth, Admiral Superin tendent's yacht. At Spithead s —St. Vincent, 120 ; Prince Regent ; Powerful, 84 ; Orestes, 14 ; Stromboli, Reynard, and Plumper steamers. In Dock—Princess Charlotte, 104 ; Collingwood, 80; Pembroke, 72; and Flying Fish, 12. In the Ship-basin—Defence, convict depot; Vindic tive, 50 ; and Malabar, coal depOt. In the Steam-basin--Ajax, steam-block ship ; Retri bution and Centaur, steam-frigates ; Cormorant, Sala mander, and Phoenix steam-sloops ; and Otter and Jackal steamers. The royal steam-yacht Fairy, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, was dispatched yesterday from Portsmouth to Southampton, to embark the Premier and convey him to East Cowes, the Noble Lord being invited to Osborne. IRELAND. DUBLIN, DEC. I.—There is little intelligence of in terest in the provincial journals received this morning. LIBERATION OF PRISONERS FROM NEWGATE.—On Wednesday evening the following persons, who had been confined in Newgate under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, were liberated on bail:—Dr. West, on the certificate of the medical gentleman, who stated that longer confinement would be fatal to his health: Mr. Timothy Sexton, Mr. Edward Trouton, r.nd Messrs. Bryan and Bergin, natives of America, who had e itered into sureties to leave this country forthwith. MR. HALPIN.—Mr. Halpin, the Secretary of the Irish Confederation, has been, at his own request, removed from Naas to Kilmainham gaol. He was in almost solitary confinement in the former prison for nearly three months. THE LORD MAYOR. —The Lord Mayor was yesterday elected a town councillor for St. Patrick's Ward, by a majority of 53 over J. A. Purcell, Esq., barrister, who stood on the Conservative interest. At the close of the poll the numbers stood, for The Lord Mayer 98 Mr. Purcell ... .•• ... 45 Majority THE NIMROD STEAMER.--This steamer, Captain Pile, belonging to the Cork Steam-packet Company, on her voyage from this port to Liverpool, fell in with, on the 13th inst. in lat. 47, long. 9, the Elizabeth, Scott master, from Zante, laden with a valuable cargo of fruit. The Elizabeth having been dismaseed at sea, jury masts were erected, but the unfortunate vessel was totally un manageable, and had been drifting Ltiout for some days. Captain Pile instantly bore down on her, when the first cry of her crew was for food, their own having been _completely exhausted. Meat, bread, and brandy were immediately supplied from the Nimrod, which was quickly demolished amid fervent prayers of thankfulness from the famished mariners of the Elizabeth. Captain Pile then took the Elizabeth in tow, and arrived with her in Liverpool in safety. Every credit is due to Cap tain Pile for his timely assistance, as were it not thus given, there was every chance of the Elizabeth being totally lost. Captain Pile and crew have lodged a claim for salvage on vessel and cargo for I,ooo4—Cork Con stitution. DALKEY ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.—The Dalkey Railway, which has been stopped for some days, in con sequence of an accident to the valve of the air-pump, was re-opened yesterday with a locomotive engine. To effect this the Princess engine has had her chimney cut down, so as to pass under the low arches and tunnels on this line, and a cover, or shield, has been placed over the engineers, to guard against accident. The water tank has been lessened, in order that it might pass over the tube, and other necessary alterations have been made to guard against delay or accident. Yesterday the Princess made her trial trips, first with one, and then with two carriages, laden, and performed the journey most satisfactorily. It will be recollected that both curves and gradients are very severe on this line. The average gradient is 1 in 115, and in one part it amounts to 1 in 57. The sharpest curve has a radius of less than one third of a mile. The car-drivers took every advantage of this brief stoppage of the traffic, and insisted upon Bd. and Is. each for conveyance to and from Dalkey and Kingstown. The railway will be re-opened in a few days. LORD ROSSE'S MONSTER TELESCOPE. The Rev. Dr. Robinson, at a meeting of the Royal Irish Academy on Thursday, said he would beg leave to notice a fact of some interest, which h© lately observed with the Rosse telescope—it related to a remarkable planetary nebula, Herschel's figure 45. This looks like an oval disc, reminding one of the planet Jupiter; but it appeared to be a combination of the two aysters which he had formerly described, In both these the centre consists of a cluster of tolerably large stars; in the first, surrounded by a vast globe of much smaller ones—in the other, by a flat disc of very small stars, which, when seen edgeways, has the appearance of a ray. Now this nebula, which he had recently observed, through Lord Rosse's tel esco p e , h as t h e centra l c l us t er , the narrow ray, and the surrounding globe. He would also add, as a remarkable proof of the defining power of this vast instrument, that he saw with it the companion of the well-known Gamma Andromedae, or two blue stars, which'he had never before seen. It was disco vered by the celebrated Strue, with the Pulkova Re fractor, and is a very severe test. He further wished to mention that, as La Place had anticipated, the ring of Saturn, which was quite visible, showed irregula rities, which are most probably mountains on its east- The Reynard screw 12-gun schooner, Commander Cracroft, left Portsmouth harbour for Spithead, to join the squadron under Sir Charles Napier's .orders, on Thursday. _ Wind W., fresh breezes and cloudy. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 30. The Amazon, 19, Captain Edward N.

She has been refitted and repaired while in Hamoaze, and is now as trim a looking frigate as any in the navy; and she sailed down with a light wind in gallant style. Though entered on the navy list as a 19-gun frigate, she appears to carry 26 guns of very large calibre, and with her full complement of men and stores draws 18 feet of water. She dropped anchor abreast of the Breakwater, where she will await her orders to proceed to China. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—Arthur Mellersh, Charles Pechell, and W. H.

Gentlemen,—An invitation, as unexpected as it is gratifying, has just been conveyed to me from a numerous body of electors, to allow myself to be put in nomination to represent your Riding. My first and overwhelming impression, on receiving such a com munication, has been one of personal unworthiness of such an honour. Whatever bearing such an admission may have, it is right to confess that, as a man whose property lies out of your county, though for a short time he represented one of your boroughs, and who is unknown by sight to a large proportion of Yorkshirernen, such an offer is calculated to produce feelings, in which gratitude is strongly blended with a disposition to decline the task. Allow me, however, to state to you the circumstances which have counteracted these first impressions. The grounds on which I have come to the decisi .n to comply with the request' to become a candi date are, in brief, those which have indaced a large body of your selves to forget that my property is south and not north of the Humber. I have been asked to stand, and now consent to do so, because, while there are three or four subjects on which I entertain strong opinions, there is another or? which my views are so long cherished, and so firmly held, that I hope there is scarcely any sacrifice whick I should not feel it my duty to make in order to secure their triumph. The principle of entire freedom of commerce I desire to see carried out to its fullest development, including a change in our navigation laws. Economy in the public finances I desire to see effected, not so much by petty reductions in subordinate offices, as by a bold and manly review of the whole principle and details of our present expen diture. The charge on the Exchequer is greater now under a Wh!g Government than it was when the Duke of Wellington was in office. I will not presume, in such a hasty address, to say in what exact particulars of our military, naval, and civil services reductions ought to be effected ; but of this I am certain, that a searching investiga tion of the whole of these departments is a duty which the distressed condition of the country demands from your representatives. With regard to our representative system, I am grateful for the Reform Act as far as it goes, and if it had gone as far in practice as its supporters anticipated in theory, I should be reluctant to dis turb a settlement arrived at after severe contests. But I desire to see the principle of the Reform Bill carried out. I wish to see elec. 4tons the - real, expression -of..honest- .opiulon ' • and I have tn witnessed so•uch of 'corruption and intiihldation that • I feel NO. suaded that we shall never have real representation without the Ballot. To the success of the Ballot I believe large constituencies to be essential ; Independently of which reason for extending the suf frage, I have a strong conviction that the wider can be made the basis on which our franchise is founded, consistently with the due qualification of the voter, the safer will be the superstructure of our Constitution, and the better will It be able to resist those storms which are threatening the old despotisms and novel constitutions of the Continent. To these economies and reforms peace is essential. It is scarcely needful to say that both as a politician and as a Christian, I ardently desire, and should strenuously labour for its maintenance. But the point of all others on which I feel it to be ray duty to ad dress you, is the subject of further religious endowments by the State. This Is the question which alone induces me to re linquish a life of comparative privacy, and to submit to the labours, responsibilities, and (I may add) privations, of a Par liamentary life. Here I feel that my direct duty to God as a Christian coincides with my lower duty as a politician and as an Englishman. Putting aside for the moment the abstract question of existing religious establMiments, I protest against all new religious endowments ; involving as they do the putting of truth and error on the same level, and the establishment of a pro vision for Romanist priests—the offspring of an insidious and un worthy expediency— side by side with Protestant institutions,which, whatever may be their abstract propriety or the contrary, are at all events based upon an acknowledgment of divine truth. To any provision of any sort or kind for the Romish priests, to any transfer of the property of the Irish establishment under any plea, however plausible, to the adherents of Rome, I am conscien tiously, firmly, irrevocably opposed. But while I thus object to the endowment of the religion of my Romanist fellow-countrymen, I am bound to add that I also object to the further endowment of Protestantism ; desiring as I do that the civil and religious rights of one class of religionists in the State should be as tenderly cherished and as firmly maintained as those of another. The deputation who have waited upon me are this instant leav ing London, and I must abruptly close this communication. I hope to follow them to-morrow to Leeds, and speedily to have the honour of addressing the electors in some of the chief towns of the West Riding. In the meantime, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, CULLING EARDLEY EARDLEY. TO PARENTS and GUARDIANS. There is a vacancy in the Offices of Messrs.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above, every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from: its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly; poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

REEW OF THE WORK. La'Mert on th e Infirm ti es of Youth and Maturity." There are scenes in the d rama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

"To Professor 1 Holloway—Sir, I have the pleasure to inform you that I have obtained a most extraordinary cure, by the use of your celebrated Ointment and Pills. For upwards of twenty years I suffered with a dreadful bad leg, and dur ing that time I consulted several eminent surgeons, but their efforts failed to do any good. I then had recourse to your Ointment and Pills which, with the blessing of Providence, has completely healed my leg, an d made it as sound and perfect as ever."—Sold by all Drilggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244 , Strand, London. SE AFORD (SUSSEX), TRITRSDAY.--THE LATE WRECX.—The Swedish vessel wrec k ed here yest er d ay is nearly all to pieces. The poor man wh o was found drowned was buried here to-day, and the surviving crew attended the funeral; the other unfortunate man who lost his life has not yet been found. One of the sailors states, the light at Newhaven was mistaken for that at Dover ; and he thinks the vessel was insured, The remaining five men were saved by the exertions of the coast -guard, by means of ropes, conveyed to the poor men With great difficulty and danger, the sea running very high at the time. Mr. Abraham Youngs, chief boatman at the Martell° Tower, Seaford (No. 7 4 ) , was especially in strumental in saving the men, at the risk of much per sonal danger to his own life, being at one time qu i te lost to the view of his companions amid the fury of the waves, from the effects of which he is now suffering. Mr. Youngs has before been presented with three medals by the Royal Humane Society, in consideration of his bravery, in saving some lives of his fellow -beings, and deserves reward for this recent act of benevolence. Th e establishment of a "Harbour of Refuge', in Seaford Bay, would, no doubt, prevent the loss both of life and property.—Fr , m a Corregpondent. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT SUNDERLAND.

All the men-of-war in harbour and forts saluted; and the festivities were kept up until the 13th and 14th. Her Majesty's ship Grecian, li guns, Commander Tindal, sailed on the 7th of October to the southward, on a cruise. The United States •corvette St. Louis, arrived on the evening :of_the 13th ult., with the American Minister's lady and family.

CHATHAM, DEC. I.—The Boscawen, 70 guns, was taken into dock the early part of the week to have her cabins and other internal fittings put up, and to be cop pered to the ordinary line of watermark; her present unsightly stern is to be removed, and a new one put in its place. The Rosamond steam-sloop, Commander Foote, sailed out of this port to the Little Nore on the 26th ult. The Phaeton, 50 guns, hunched at Deptford on the 28th ult., was towed into this harbour by the Adder and Pigmy steam-vessels. The Adder returned to Dept ford with the men who assisted to navigate the Phaeton. The Pigmy remains. The Adder will return to Chat ham, and, with the Pigmy, be kept in readiness for service. The Acorn, 16 guns, fitting for commission, was put out of dock on Wednesday last, and the Phaeton was taken in the same day to have her bottom coppered. On the water she has a yacht-like appearance, her stern being much below the level of her bows, but when her masts, rigging, and stores are all on board, her bows will be brought down, as her store-rooms and magazines are all forward. In dock she looks a most magnificent vessel, and her decks are much more lofty than those of other ships of the same class. The shipwrights are busily employed opening the Vernon, 50 guns, in dock, for the general survey about to be made of her. Many of her timbers are so rotten that they scarcely bear being touched with the chisel and mallet. The Admiralty have issued circulars to the different dockyards, that in future the issue to the residences of the officers in the yards of such articles of furniture as floorcloths, window-blinds, mats, &c., is to be discon tinued, and the houses placed on the same footing as unfurnished houses belonging to or rented by private in dividuals, excepting those of the Admiral Superinten dents or Captain-Superintendents of the dockyards, who, paying a per tentage, their residences are to be supplied with the same articles of furniture es heretofore. The Aid, Smallman master, arrived yesterday from Portsmouth, with stores for this yard. The Rochester, Sudwicks master, remains loading for Devonport, and sails to-morrow. One sergeant and five privates, with two women and eight children, in charge of Assistant-surgeon A. J. Dolee, of the medical staff, arrived at Fort Pitt, to be discharged on pensions. This detachment belonged to the' St. Helena Regiment, having left that island on the 12th of October, by the ship Childe Harold, Captain Lilly, a trading vessel from Bombay. Also arrived at the invalid depot, one sergeant and six privates of the 16th Regiment, from Southampton, likewise to be pen sioned off. WOOLWICH, DEC. I.—The Llewellyn steam-vessel, under the charge of Mr. Grey, Master-Commander, with Lieutenant Robertson, assistant to Captain Austin, C. 8., having had a new cylinder put in her by her contractors, Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill, proceeded down the river yesterday on trial, and answered very satisfactorily, having made a speed of fifteen knots per hour. She will shortly be ready to proceed for service as a packet on the Holyhead station. The Arrogant frigate, 46 guns, fitted with screw pro peller, when brought down from Deptford On Tuesday last by the Monkey steam-vessel, was cast off when op posite Blackwell, and, her auxiliary power being set in motion, she made very good progress down the river to Woolwich, her speed being about eight knots per hour. She answered her helm well, and it was remark'd that she turned round in a very moderate spaco when bring ing up to her moorings in the river. The Sampson steam-frigate, Captain Thomas Hen derson, is hourly expected here to be paid off, and the Niger steam-vessel has been removed to make room for Hermes steam-vessel was tak en i nto the basin her.

CLAMBERS.—The edi tor of the Lancet states, in this day's number, that he has received intelligence of the death of the above-named eminent physician. The President expressed the high sense which he entertained of the value of Dr. Robinson's discovery, as to the effect which may be produced by the application of the electric current to platina wire; and observed that the society must feel deeply indebted to the Rev. Gen tleman for the valuable and interesting information which he had afforded them on that point, and also with regard to the nature of the nebula, as shown by Lord Rosse's telescope. RIOT AND AFFRAY, WITH LOSS OF LIFE. On the night of the 21st instant a party of idle fellows went into Robert Service's public-house, at Rashee, near Ballyclare, and commenced to play cards. The owner of the house hearing of it, went into the room and ordered them out, but they did not go. Service, having to attend at his bar, left them ; and, in the meantime, Robert 31‘Meeltan and two others (uncon nected with the former party) came into the room, and almost immediately a fight commenced (the cause of which is unknown), which so far ended in the former party being beat out of the room, and to the road ; but in about ten minutes returned with a strong reinforcement, and attacked the house with stones. Unfortunately, however, M'Meekan and his friends went out, and were instantly assailed by the mob, who had, in the mean time, armed themselves with dangerous wea pons. M'Meekan's two friends were knocked down; but the poor fellow himself was so brutally beaten and in jured, having received twelve cuts in his head, and his skull fractured with a shoemaker's hammer, that he was left for dead upon the road. It would appear that he was the principal object of their revenge; for, as soon as he fell, the mob dispersed. M'Meekan was then conveyed in a state of insensibility to a neighbouring house, where medical attendance was procured for him, but of no avail. He lingered till Monday, 27th, when death put an end to his; sufferings. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body, by Alexander Markham, Esq., coroner, and a jury, when, after a patient and searcaing inquiry, the following verdict was returned, viz.:—'• That Robert M•Meekan's death was caused in consequence of blows which he received in the head with ;dangerous weapons, in a riot and affray at Rashee, on the night of th e 21 st of November instant, which fractured his skull and caused compression of the brain, said blows having been inflicted by Robert Hunter, Samuel Todd, Robert Wilson, and Samuel Todd ; and that William Buchannan and Robert Finlay were aiding and assisting, and taking part in said riot and affray." One of the witnesses proved that he saw one of the Samuel Todds (Tom's Sam) striking some person furiously with a shoemaker's hammer, who, he has no doubt, was the deceased, and that he sprung in and took the hammer from him, which is now in the custody of the police ; and another proved that he (Todd) came into her house just before the hurry" commenced on the road, and took a shoe maker's hammer away with him. This same Todd and Robert Wilson had been arrested by the constabulary of Ballyclare, under a warrant from J. Smyth, Esq., J.P., and were fully committed to Carrickfergus :gaol by the Coroner, to abide their trial at the next assizes ; and it is hoped that all the others concerned in this disgraceful outrage will be made amenable, as warrants have been issued for their apprehension. M'Meekan was the son of a respectable nurseryman of that name near Doagh, and was a sober, well-conducted, industrious young man, only 22 years of age.-IVotthern Whig. MEETING OF MR. DENISON'S METROPOLITAN FRlENDS.—Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a meet ing of gentlemen, friendly to Mr. Denison, and having votes in the West Riding, was held in the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, for the purpose of adopting measures to canvass the electors resident in the metropolis. The Hon. Mr. Stuart Wortley, M.P., was called to the chair. Among the gentlemen present were Sir George Armi tage, Mr. Hardy, son of Mr. Hardy, late M.P., and a number of barristers connected with some of the leading families in Yorkshire. The room was crowded. Reso lutions were proposed, and adopted, recognising the fit ness of Mr. Denison to represent the West. Riding, and pledging the meeting to use every effort i n th e i r power to promote his election. A committee was formed for conducting the Hon. Candidate's election, so far as re garded those constituents of the West Riding who are resident in London, and ten or twelve gentlemen, among whom were several barristers, volunteered their services to make a personal canvass of th e electors. A scription was also opened to defray the expenses o f Mr. enis on down's elect hision, which the Hon. ChairmanD was t a headedby p ttin utting name for 50/. About 2001. sub scribed on the instant, an d i t was announced tha similar subscription had been begun in Sheffield, which, in less than an hour, exceeded the sum of 5001. The meeting lasted till four o'clock, when a vote of thanks broke . WEST RIDING ELECTION.—The deputation ap pointed by the Leeds meeting, on Wednesday, having waited upon the committee of Sir Culling Eardley Eardley, to suggest, according to their commission, that the Hon. Baronet should be withdrawn from the contest, to make way for Mr. Roebuck, but the committee de clined to accede to the request of the meeting. The friends of M r . Roebuck have, however, dispatched their requisition to that gentleman, inviting him to become a candidate; but it is not expected that Mr. Roebuck will comply with their wishes. 'The requisition was not very numerously signed. Sir C. Eardley and Mr. Denison visited Wakefield yesterday, and addressed the electors, the Hon. Baronet being introduced by Mr. Bright, M.P. PROCLAMATION • OF THE WRIT FOR THE WEST RIDING ELECTION.—On Thursday afternoon Mr. Dodg son, Sheriffs officer, received the writ for th e e l ect i on of a Member for the West Riding, and, according to custom, proclaimed the document froth the Market-cross at Wakefield.

" Baron Picolet, the Sardinian charg6-d'affaires and consul-general at Buenos Ayres, has received his pass port, and will leave that place very shortly, or as soon as he can settle his numerous affairs there, after a resi dence of nearly twenty years, during the latter fifteen of which he has been in the above capacity. Great commo tion has been raised, particularly in commercial circles, by this extraordinary act of Rubas. The reasons given by him for this step are very equivocal. They are pub lished in the Gaceta Mercantil, a copy of which I, unfor tunately, did not think of procuring, but for which I substitute the Comercio de la Plata of the 14th inst., herewith, in which are all the particulars. As far as I can see they areas follows: - - " On Baron Picolet receiving instructions from. his Government to hoist the new Italian flag ho ac quainted the Government of the fact, and stated that he would display it on the Sunday following the communication from the consulate. On the Satur day morning the Italian subjects requested the Baron to ask permission that they also might be dilowed to display the flag to commemorate the event, which be accorningly did, by applying personally to M. Arana, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who said he believed there would be no objection, but advised the Baron to see the yt:fe do policia on the subject, as it properly belonged to his department ; this he also did, and was told that be (the chief of police) did not know any reason why they should not, but as he was then on the point of going to to the Governor's residence, he would ask Hoses, and let the Baron know the result on his return. The Baron apparently gave the Italian subjects the permission re quested, telling them the circumstances, and that he be lieved all would begight. About ten P.M. the chief of police called on the Baron, on his return from Roses, and ea,quainted him that he had had no time to•nsk the Governor the question, and wished him to tell the Italian subjects not to make the display in question. The Baron said he could not do so, as the night was too tar advanced. The chief then said that the police would have instruc tions to acquaint the people of the fact on thei r hoisting their flag in the morning. Accord ingly, at daylight the following morning, when the k lialians were on the point of hoisting the new flag they were told to desist, which they did, with out any disturbance taking place. A few days after wards the Baron Ficelet met the chief of police in the street, and a very animated conversation, or rather dis pute, ensued (in regard to which the Baron, to all ap pearances, was in the wrong, as a street was certainly no place fur two public men to dispute on subjects con nected with the Government), high words followed, and the result was that the affair was reported by the chief of police to the Government, and the Baron received his conge... "M. Bung 6, the Dutch consul, has also got himself into a scrape, but the particulars are so uncertain and vary so much that I shall refrain from making any allu sion to them. The results were expected to be the same as the Baron's; in fact, I believe Bosas says that he does not wish any ministers or consuls at Buenos Ayres, but can do very well without them. * * • " The most shocking atrocity of modern times is the O'Gorman business, the facts being, as nearly as I can understand, as follow: " A Roman Catholic priest was in the habit of visiting a family named O'Gorman, father and two daughters. With one of the latter, it appears, be was much smitten, and at last persuaded her to elope with him. He sue .ceeded in getting out of Buenos Ayres to Entrerios, where they lived together, with the intention of crossing the country to Rio de Janeiro as soon as possible. The priest of the place they were in (an Irishman) suspecting them from the retired way in which they lived, betrayed them to one of the innumerable parties that were in search of them: they were brought to Buenos Ayres, and then shot in the Campamento, without trial, and ict cold blood. The lady was 8f months in the family way • the child was alive after th e mot h er was shot, and at her request before death was christened. Of the firi ng party (twelve or sixteen men) drawn up to shoot them (some of Rosas's bloody gang), five or six could not pull the trigger, and are to be shot for not doing their duty. Such an act of cold-blooded murder needs no comment. Even his Gauchas murmured at the deed, and in my opinion the fall of the tyrant Rosas may be dated from that period." LICENSED VICTUALLERS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.— At a special meeting of the Committee of the above society, held •at the office, 90, Farringdon-street, on Friday, the Ist instant, Mr. George Bennett in the chair,: a ballot took place for the election of a successor to Mr. Bennett, whose period of office will expire at the general annual meeting. Three gentlemen wer e e li gi ble, but Mr. Mitchell having declined being put in nomina tion, the contest was between Mr. Harris and Mr. Ire land, when the majority of votes having been found to be in favour of Mr. Charles Ireland, Falcon-tavern, Fetter-lane, Fleet•street, he was declared duly elected Chairman of the Society for the ensuing year. A second ballot was taken for the electing of three trustees, IA liett of Mr. Ireland (elevated to the chair) and Messrs. Mit chell and Harris, who retire, when the following gen tlemen were declared unanimously elected trustees of the society:—Mr. Thomas Winterbotham, Virginia terrace, Great Dover-road; Mr. John Higgins, Fore street, Lambeth ; a n d M r. G eorge Bishop, of Charles street, Westminster. REPORTED IMPENDING SECESSION. —A strange rumour has reached us, and which is said to have its source in Exeter College, that the public will probably soon hear of the secession from the Church of England to Popery, of a Kentish vicar, related to a member of the bench of bishops; but whose name we do not feel justified in publishing in connexion with a mere report. —Correspondent of the Church and State Gazette.

LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS. From Mr. James Froud, chemist, Dorchester, March 4, 1847. " Gentlemen,—A gentleman, a clergyman, called on me this after noon, and expressed himself with much pleasure on the decided be nefit his sister had received. She had been for some years the sub ject of a most distressing cough. The remedies usually employed by the profession had not succeeded in affording relief; but on trying Dr. Locock's Wafers benefit, was almost instantly derived, and by a little steady perseverance, the cough, which was before distressingly troublesome, is now perfectly cured "JAMES FROITD."

The following very interesting letter from an English officer at Sarawak has been fowarded for publication:— " Sarwalept. 16. I arrived hero th e d ay before yesterday e, in S the Auck land steamer, from Singapore; we anchored close to the Meander, about twelve miles down the river. I went on board, and Captain Keppel very kindly promised to take me in his gig to Sarawak, when the tide turned. We had not left the frigate ten minutes before the rain came down in a perfect deluge, acsornpanied by the most vivid lightning I ever witnessed. We landed at Sarawak at half-past one o'clock at night, or rather morning, and found the Raja and household in the land of dreams. " I find Sarawak just what I expected. The prints give you an excellent idea of the place. The Raja's bungalow is cool and comfortable. Yesterday we had a large party of the officers of the Auckland. I lionized the place with them, The fort, which mounts six guns, is in excellent order. The garrison went through their manoeuvres in a style that did them great credit. I examined the antimony factory, which is rather a large establishment. lam writing in the hall of the bungalow; one of the Pangerans and a son of the late Raja Muda Hassim are sitting by my side, amusing themselves with the Illustrated News. Mr. M`Dougall and the other missionary, Mr. Wright, are living in the Court-house on the other side of the water, and I hear are making great progress ; they have a school of fifty adults and children. Wllougall widely diffuses the be nefit of his medical science. Both are much liked by the inhabitants. They have not yet begun to proselytize. We sat down yesterday to dinner a party of fourteen ; after dinner in walktd about thirty of the noblesse, brothers, sons, and nephews of the late Muda Hassim, with their swordbearers and suite. I was presented to them, and shook hands with the gentlemen all round. " Now for a little of Borneo politics. We have an expedition out against Sadong, consisting of ninety Meander's men and five hundred Sarawaks. The Sa dong people have been in communication with pirates. Crookshank, who commanded the natives, has orders to make prisoners of the Sadong men, and bring them to Sarawak for examination. On the realm oi the expe dition, we are to give a grand feast to the native chiefs and officers of the ships in the river—the spectacle to be such as will make an enduring impression upon the natives of Sarawak. Immediately afterwards we sail in the Meander for Labuan, stay there a month, and then prcceeed on a mission to Sooloo to negotiate a treaty with the Sultan of Soolco; afterwalds we are to have an expedition to Sakaran and Sarebas, which tribes have returned to their old habits of piracy; thus, you will see, there is a good deal of work cut out for us. I fully ex pect we shall have another bombardment of Bruni. The Sultan is said to be dying, and the villain Macota (the abettor of piracy) is again in power, and carrying on his intrigues. I hour that Sir James Brcele is drawing up a treaty which will be entered into by all the chiefs of the rivers between this and Bruni, acknowledging him as their chief and protector—an union for mutual assist ance against piracy. " Sept. 19.—The expedition against Sadong returned en Sunday, having effected their purpose and thoroughly frightened the inhabitants of that river; they have brought back several prisoners, who will be severely lectured and sent back again to Sadong. To-day we are to have the feast in honour of the Raja's return to Sarawak, when the Sarawak flag will be hoisted. I have not told you of our boar hunt. Mr. Hentig's garden has bsen for a long time haunted by an enormous boar; everybody in the settle ment had seen him, several had had shots at him; all differed as to his size, som.. said he was as big as a buffalo, others said as a donkey; the Malays declared that he had a charmed life, and that nothing but a silver bullet could kill him. However, On Saturday night I sallied out about one o'clock with my rifle and sword, and, in company with a middy of the Meander, took up a posi tion in the porker's cruising ground. Here we found two other men awaiting the arrival of the monster. One of them, who knew the animal's beat, stationed himself at the gap in the fence, and did not wait long before the brute appeared. He fired both barrels into him and rolled him over. I came up in time to see piggy kicking on his back, and shoved my sword through his heart and put him out of his misery. He is a most extraordinary animal. We intend sending the head to the British Mu seum. He stood about three feet six inches high, and is about eight feet from tip of tail to snout, with enor mous tusks!' THE RIVER PLATE.
