SALISBURY, AUG 4 —When the Post left this town Mr. BENaTT had not been chaired, and a rumour was in circulation tha: there w a s so m e in tention of dispensing with such »n exhibition on the present occasion, in enosevence of toe irri tated state of the popular feeling. The-Races, which commenced immediately after the close of the Poll, had for the moment drawn away a great part of the crowd, and down to the departure of the Post there was no appearance of any riot or disturbance Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. nobhouse were both in Salisbuty, hot whe ther from political motives, at with a v iew to the pleasnies of the turf, it is left to wiseacres to con jecture. On Tuesday night there was again sorni! dis itirbances at Trowbritie the piques 01 the iroops who have been _stationed there since the first Jays of the Election were doubled, and kept oh duty till daybreak. The troops stationed at' Trowbridge, in aid of the Civil Power, are a detachmk ut of the 16 Lancers, the Bath Rift. Corps, and two sai (lions of the North Somerset Yeornaory CavAry. The remainder of the North Somerset Yeomanry are at ditfvreut other neighbouring town., to as sist in the preservarion of the peace; and another troop of the 16th Lancers .are at Dowton, near Salisbury. None of these troops will be dismissed before Monday next. The evening passed off quietly, if we except a few heads which were broken in combats b, t wee!) individuals ; there was nothing, at least, like a general tumult or disturbance. MajorVistley-retired in the course of the morn ing to his scat at Notton-hall, and has expressed a determination to bring the proceedings of the present election beitre t.,e House of Commons. It is said that he maintains that atnOtlg the votes which have polled for Mr. Benctt, there are 240 illegal votes. A FEW PLAIN REASQNS Why TaeAlos: and li.P.Bvi.Lp.N against KING and C , ,NSTITUTIOti are considered by soma to be bet ter than LOYALTY and FIDELITY. [From the Exeter Flying Post] Became "e can no wav so effectually disobey the Divine Command, and transgress our Duty towards God, (i ho his declared that " the exist ing powers are ordained by Hint," and command ed us " to honour the King, and obey them that have the role over us,") as by insulting, despising, and plotting, against the Boyd Authority. Because by putting au end to Gover►ttnent, and introducing disorder an.! con!usion, we most sure ly plornole robbery, mnriler, and every evil work : thus violating our duty towards our neighbour, and the golden rule of charity—'' Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so them." Because thOngb our present Constitution has been founded and estlblished by the united wisdom of the wisest anti best of men—has been cemented with their blood—and pronounced, even by our enemies, to be the most admirable and glorious that ever existed ; yet, as there eau be no doubt, the Reformers of the present age are tar twper:or ”) our in wb.:dorm aae, virtue, and would, therefore, br no lea milling than able to erect one in its room wit bout spot or blemish ; the sooner we pull tioAn the present one, the better. . Because the liberty that enables us to deprive our neighbour of his character, his tn•pperty, of his life, most ht acknowledged, by all considerate men, to be very pretrrahlt to that o loch pi arc's the honest man from the vilain, s,ii ioleo all to " lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godli ness and honesty." Because mildness, disinterestedness, integrilu, and morality are to be the chai acterislics the New Government, of which the best pledges tat the means at present adopted for elfec:ing th;s e,o1; viz. r --riot, murder, and the circulation of blas phemy—and the pure unblemished enaractur. , k , t those who are the most forward to cry of our pre sent Constittv ion, " Down with it, down wi,b it, even to the ground." At a time like the present, when 11,form is only the watchword of a party, whose aim is to de stroy—when the liberty of the press is abused to the most licentious purposes, and inade the organ of disseminating immoratil and impiety—when the visionary and dangerous ideas of liberty and equality—of a liberty which would make us slaves —an equality which can never exist—ire held out to delude us to our ruin : it is the duty of every honest Exonian to remind his Fellow-Citizens of their motto, " Ever Faithful :" it behoves every honest Englishman to give the warning voice to his Fellow-Countrymen, to " blow the trumpet in Sion, and to sound all alarm " throughout the land. And therefore this plain statement of the motives, cha:acters, and views of these Friends and Protectors of the People is 464 before them—with a sincere hope that they will reinember Nelson's last signal ; By their Well-wisher and Friend, AN EXETER.

I'OETRY. ON THE FEMALE MEE'T'ING AT STOCKPORT. What a pass things are come to Mien Women now meet To discuss the affairs of the nation; To give " body and soul,"—soul and body so sweet, To political deep agitation. Mister Ildtivr, there's some strength in your arguments now To have driv'n the dear creatures to madness; In their hearing you should not your fine genius show, To rail at the times, and their bhdness. Behold the effect—•they leave puddings and pies, Their washing, their sewing, and knitting ; Each Child in its cradle neglected now lies, Whilst its Mother in judgment is sitting ; On Parliaments, ',Ministers, black and red books— And the Country's misrepresentation. While tech one,--prophetic—proclaims by her looks 01 our realini the tun near desolation. Now mark the proceedings at Stockport last week, When they net ail so wofully serious, — Resolving redress iron) abuses to seek, And shouting kali if quite delirious.— Ma'am's call'd tc.the chair, she bows, takes her seat, Returns thanks for the honour they've done her, Urges total unfitness, with toe patriot heat, For the GLourtz devolving upon her. The seat tairvi, t- 1- -'z hest thing she thies is to move That the men '6'; expel l'd in.a second, For tear they should LAUGH, or their measures reprove, More versed it.: these things being reckou'd.— The busi:l:3s begLo, each fair one declares Her immoveable, firm, fix'd intention 'l'o devote soul and BODY to Liberty's Wars— (What they mean here,- I really can't niention). Tu HARRlSON—thanks—all assenting, they nod, Then loudly shout " WOLSELEY for ever," Resolve to assist all the Patriots in quod To desert the cause ? Never, 0 never ! Next—thanks ta-R,ht Chairman, Chair2mman I mean, (Indeed, Ma'am, I here be; your pardon)— Then resolve (breaking up at the close of the e'en) That the Country's not worth a FA RDEN. Tben each one goes home, puts her Children to bed— Having wasli'd tmilress'd 'ern, and eram'd 'em— Makes one more resolve in her Patriot head, That she's equal at least to .lour: fiAmynEN. That Patriotism is now at its height Will surely be doubted by no Man, In whom it now meets with comparative slight, Since its Cause is espoused by dear Woman. " NENIO.' REGISTER OF FASHION.

The thief escaped undiscovered, AT ri: , ;NIPTED ASSASSINA'CION; Vestal clay evening, about six o'clock, the neigh bourhood of Snow-hill was lissom' i,ito the greatest consternation, front the .eircno static -E a man having mirk a most atrocious , teatot to assassinate his wife in the parlour of the /lead Inn, The particulars of t►lt, dreadful cdse, us tar as we have been able to collect thew, are as tollow About six months ago, the wife of Mr. Henry Stent, boot and shoe-maker, at Pimlico, absrond ed from her borne with ano!ber Indo leaving a fatuity of small children on her hushatol's hands ; she was traced with her paramour to Liverpool,. where they took their passage tor America, and nothing was heard of thentl6l. some time. Mr. Stm's neighbours observed, that the circum :stance seemed to prey very heavily on his mind ; but still he paid the greatest attention to the chil dren. His faithless wife embarked with her se ducer on - board the William about the month of March ; but before they had been many dap at sea, the vessel met with an accident, ',lid after vainly endeavouring tosteer for America, they were driven to the necessity of making the best of their way to Liverpool, which they gained with much difficulty and in great distress, atter being tossed about a long time upon the ocean. At Liverpool a quar rel arose between Mrs. Stent and her paramour, and he quitted her. She was then lett desti'five, a prey to the keenest remorse ; but, after many struggles with cooscieoce, she determined o:r seeking her wronged husband, throwing herself on her knees before him, and imploring his mercy. For this purpose she obtained a conveyance, and arrived in London yesterday morning at the Saracen's Head lon, Snow-1011. About one o'clock she wrote a note to her husband, ex pressing great contrition for her errors, and im ploring 111111 to call on her at the ion at six o'clock. Accordingly, about that hour, Mr. Stent came; the moment be entered the room be drew out a large shoemaker's knife, and, spriug. nig on his wire with the greatest fury, pitiat,ged it several times in her 1(11 side, and stabbed her in the neck. Several men who were in the par . lour, and beheld the dreadful act, seized the as sazein, and with difficulty wrested the murderous weapon trout his hand, whilst the untottuoate object of his vengeance ft•ll senseless on the floor. The constetnation that followed is intlesc;ibihle; hundreds of persons flocked in on the first alirtn, and it would have been easy for the ciiminal to have -escaped, if he chose, but he seetutd careless and fearless of consequences. At length the officers from Gilispiir•street Compter were sent for, who handentfedStent, and took posse%si •n of the knife. It had been seemingly sharpened fur the purpose, and the point seems to have come its viokut con tact with tt►e breast •hone, for it h hens. The woman was covered with a table cloth, and car ried on a shutter to St. Bartholomew's %, here she was immediately k.r teg.ded by the House Surgeon, who staunched the wound-', and pin her to bed ; but give no hopes of her reco'•ety. She was alive at nhie o'clock last night. Si ent is in dose confinement, and is to be examined ibis day before the sitting Alderman at Guildhall. He maintains a strict sdence, and doe's nut seem to bettay the leait regret for what he has done.— (Moi - ning Paper) . M ELANCEiOLY EVENT.--An American Paper call ed The Potsdam Gazette, contains the following Mr. Lyman Sperry, of Malone, Franklin, having been absent from his house on Friday after noon last, returned home in the evening, and' found his - wife and four children in a most de plorable condition—some of them just able to be about the house, while others were lying on the bed, &c. in a sonib►ous, sickly, mud wretched state. He endeavoure►l to arouse them, hop. ing to administer relief, but in a short time one child expired in his artns. Shortly after his wife (Heft, and in a little while another chill breathed its last. Ile procured medical aid as soon as possible, cud by their active exertions the other two children were saved from imme- (hate death, though it remains doubtful whether they will recover. The oldest child that died was about five years of age. Those who survived were from seven to ten. From what the surviving children. say, it is supposed that Mrs. Sperry, who has been for two or three years, by turns, a little deranged, gathered Cicota, or as some call it, wood-chuck-root, steeped it in warm water, and fed her children, and drank plentifully of it herself.; with a view of saving them and her self (in the embraces of death) tram penury and wart, which she had frequently insisted was com ing upon them, although it is understood that Mr. Sperry is in good circumstances. SGLI.ING A CnteD.—The following case lately created a considerable sensation in Leith Wyod, Edinburgh, and indeed cireolated widely, as one of great aggravation. As theaffairoriginated in a mere joke, it is unnecessary to mention names. The seller :was an aged barber, and the buyer a gamekeeper, front the west country. The parties were stran gers to each other. They were both sitting in a public-house ; the former having the child on his knee, ocularly offered it to the latter for a shilling, who having a pound note in his hand, ready to few der for his reckoning, said it was worth more than a shilling, and he would give a note fsq it, witieh was accordingly done. The woman «t,.) had the care of the child returned (after a short absence) and to her astonionent, heard of the seemingly 'strange transfer. Whether the lerrber had not his joke out, or had takes a liking to the note, he would not re urn it when desired, and, therefore., the holds r of the child kept possession in the meantime ; the consequence was, a hue and cry was set up, and the police took theta into etis.ody ; this it ang affair at one time was so set ions, that, use he words of the serjeant who' gave evidence, tue people would have torn them in pieces hail he not reasoned with them, and assured them justice would be done." Even wider inves!igat iutt the case bore ,a tkubtful appearan,-e, till the buyer ,stated the circumstance; wnicit he did with touch good 11:m1,Ni'. Thc a.; is' rate hoped that the trouble •his t o oli,h boric e-s had occa• sioned wOutd he a lesson to him in futi:re. The gamekeeper said it cerkainly nunld, and ,feknow ledger! it had like to .have proved a very serious ) joke to !Liar.
